The Steelers won on a crazy ass play. Hell, it was a crazy ass last 5 minutes in its entirety. And the Ravens lost their game in spectacular fashion, which means Pittsburgh just needs to win one of their last two games to lock up the division (and all but certainly lose in the first round of the playoffs, but if that’s the price paid for keeping Baltimore out of the playoffs, it’s worth it). There was more craziness this weekend, but none will compare to the way the important games in the AFC north ended. The CFP moves toward the quarterfinals, and every Miami fan in the world is bringing up some play from before most of them were even watching football. Sadly, none of them remember that if the officials paid attention on about 4 plays in regulation that game never would have gotten to overtime. I have more to talk about, but I’ve got to move on or I’ll never even get to…the links!
This was kind of a slam dunk case. Not sure what the owner was thinking. You gotta be more discrete when you’re a public accommodation.
This is the way. I hope they keep it up.
I wouldn’t say they got caught off guard. I’d say they simply don’t care. They imported all oil these people willingly, after all.
Good. They need to be kept away from society forever.
Oh, boy. Let the conspiracy theories begin.
Not sure how I feel about this. I had to spend more than one day inside what was effectively a closet in high school when I got in school suspension. Also, why did they strategically take the photos so you can’t see that the top of it is completely open?
Wait, they still use polygraphs? Why not just thrown chicken bones at the floor and have a witch doctor tell them if they say the person is qualified?
Don’t listen to those liars! All the big media outlets say it’s because of tariffs. And they can’t be lying, can they?

I’m fine with that. But only if CECOT is full.
“CBS yanked a “60 Minutes” segment on Venezuelan migrants in El Salvador’s notorious maximum-security prison, CECOT, just hours before it was scheduled to air — with the journalist behind it sparking a political feud by accusing new boss Bari Weiss of spiking it for political reasons.”

I guess we’ll never know.
OFFS… Literally every story they air or don’t air that can have political undertones is aired or not aired for political reasons.
They haven’t had journalistic integrity for so long that even a small dose is causing them to melt.
Because their faith saus the box that goes scribble is the proper augur for the situation.
Its an effective intimidation tool. Been through one, its uneasy.
That was exactly what it was used for when I went through one – intimidation and attempting to draw out a confession. Problem was I knew nothing about the thievery that was actually happening (found out about it after the investigation).
They also knew putting a smokeshow of an OSI agent to administer it would add to the discomfort.
I was so fascinated by how it was all done but again, such an uneasy 30 minutes of my life and like you, I was unaware of anything other than my own viewpoint of the situation they were investigating.
It’s a common misconception that polygraph examination is not scientifically grounded, or that it’s possible to ‘beat’ a polygraph. They are, and it’s not.
Now that said, the idea of a polygraph examination as a ‘lie detector’ is also bullshit. Lies aren’t what they’re trying to detect.
I thought they were just meant to get women to wonder.
I’d love to hear more about this.
They are, and it’s not.
All I have is empirical data from my own experiences with it, and that experience tells me it’s complete nonsense. Anecdotally – with of course the caveat that people reporting failures or ‘beating’ the test may have conflicts of interest that lead to less than accurate information – there’s just too much evidence that, in practice, they are bullshit.
I haven’t carefully reviewed the scientific evidence, what I’ve seen is only marginally convincing, but maybe the theory is valid. But no matter how real the scientific basis for the technique/machine is, in practice it’s been demonstrated to be just flat out wrong way too many times. “Poorly qualified test admin” doesn’t cut it. If, as a matter of practice, it’s too easily manipulated or subject to lack of falsifiability because failures can always be written off to ‘training’, for all practical purposes, it’s useless, nay even harmful, to treat it as a valid investigative tool, nevermind treat it as the mind reader most people do, no matter what the scientific basis is.
On Penn & Teller’s Bullshit episode on polygraphs they said it’s just good cop / bad cop, and the polygraph is the bad cop.
The eminent scientists Penn & Teller say lie detectors are bullshit
If a polygraph isn’t trying to detect lies, what is it trying to detect?
what is it trying to detect?

An inane piece of our application gone done broke because of the upgrade, and we’re muddling through it because for some stupid reaosn, people still use it.
It’s NYSGov. That’s a stupid enough reason.
Our POS of a “Democratic Socialist” assemblyman wants the state to take over the electric utility to “save” money at the same time she’s trying to make natural gas use more expensive if not impossible.
Don’t be silly – it’s NYC Government that uses this crap.
Worse, it’s WMS – The Welfare Management System. It’s used by the people who incentivize the parasites to increase theeir own budget and excuse their own wasteful existence.
GovSec workers and their politically-connected family members mandating the use of this shit, isnt it?
I always wonder who had a relative in sign-making to get the handicapped symbol changed.
No, Ted, it’s not your stalking horse. It’s sheer bureaucratic inertia. Nobody wants to redo the reporting to provide the data in a more supportable manner.

Correct.
Why do yo want to close all the MN casinos? Were it not for the reservations folks would take their MN money out of state to lose.
Which is the main reason this is National News.
Fourscore:
You could always allow regular casinos, we did it here in Ohio, and now it’s sounding like some groups are pushing for the Lottery to run “video lottery terminals” (video poker/slots) in “designated adult only areas” in existing establishments.
This is after the lottery started accepting credit cards for ticket purchases.

Look, Sloopy — just because Qatar is both exporting anti-semitism and jihadism and would also be one of the major losers if industrial scale positive-energy fusion gets going is no reason to think that they radicalized this kid and used him as a hit squad or anything!

My grandads 100mph water carburetor is around here somewhere.
Regarding the Brown professor: I’m sad that the guy is dead. But there’s no damn conspiracy theory here. Tons of folks are working on alternatives to fossil energy, the dude was in no way within inches of a breakthrough that was going to eliminate fossil fuels. Let’s be honest here.
It fits into my point I made the other day. This is a rejected TV show script for Law and Order.
Thanks to his untimely demise, commercial fusion is now fifty years away….
So…right on schedule.

“Before his death, Loureiro was leading MIT’s efforts to revolutionize energy production by making a game-changing clean power source that needs just a fraction of the fossil fuels current machines and vehicles use today.
His team’s research at MIT’s Plasma Science and Fusion Center (PSFC) centered on plasma physics, the study of super-hot, ionized gases, and how to apply them to fusion energy, a promising clean power source.”

I was talking with a special ed teacher yesterday who mentioned a similar thing. Maybe not a box like that, but a time out place where the kids could rage and then calm down without breaking things.
Maybe it’s useful in that sort of setting, but my default approach would be to be much less gentle, especially if there isn’t some developmental issue we’re navigating around.
That teacher kept raving about social emotional learning. My eyes about rolled out the back of my head. Anything to avoid actually disciplining the kid.
You mean the thing where you Saran Wrap kids to a table?
Saran Wrap? You kids have it easy! Back in my day, duct tape is all we had, and we liked it!
The vast majority of the mentally disabled kids shouldn’t be in schools, or in schools with normal kids. The drag the normal ones down and waste resources.
In the meantime, Faux News reports that 60 Minutes postponed what was bound to be a hard-hitting expose of this atrocity.

“Let me be clear. Anyone who attacks my wife, whether their name is Jen Psaki or Nick Fuentes, can eat s–t,” Vance told UnHerd in an interview published Sunday.

As VP responses go — it is still fairly tame. Fuentes should worry if JD gets a burr in his saddle, though.
Vance could always dump the John Garner Nance bucket on Fuentes head.
I want to inflict my grief on you. This makes me more qualified to discuss public policy.
A group representing people who have lost loved ones in fatal traffic collisions has called on the Minister of Transport to “leave families alone to grieve at the roadside”.
Maybe the group could leave us alone?
And of course the media have such people right at the top of their Rolodexes.
Whenever I see those little roadside shrines, I think, “What if families insisted on leaving plastic flowers and crosses and stuffed animals next to every hospital bed in which one of their loved ones died?”

I always bring up Justice for the Chemakum People when the land acknowledgements start. They were driven to extinction by the “First Peoples” known as the Suquamish in the 1800’s in a literal genocide. There were 3 people left by the early 1900’s.
“Podcaster Tucker Carlson was named “Antisemite of the Year” by a prominent Jewish civil rights group for offering platforms to Jew-haters and -bashers on his show.
Carlson’s dubious distinction from StopAntisemitism comes as fallout continues from a friendly October interview with white nationalist Nick Fuentes, who has pushed conspiracy theories about “Jewish control” of US politics, media and finance, denied the Holocaust, and called for what he described as a “holy war” against Jews.
“By an overwhelming vote margin, Tucker Carlson has been named StopAntisemitism’s 2025 Antisemite of the Year,” StopAntisemitism founder and executive director Liora Rez told The Post.”
https://nypost.com/2025/12/21/us-news/tucker-carlson-named-antisemite-of-the-year-by-jewish-organization/
Does he get a mug or anything?
Is this the same recognition being discussed for the last few weeks or are there competing groups with their own anti-semite awards?
A Toten bag.
I’m amused about he she (Rez) sells herself as “born in the former Soviet Union”, like that is a special badge of honor. She was born in Lithuania.
A good way to cut down on the antisemitism would be to stop doing stunts like this. A lot of Jewish groups are determined to shoot themselves in the foot it seems.
Wonder why her family came here and didn’t go to Israel?
A good way to cut down on the antisemitism would be to stop doing stunts like this.
This. Even more so, the right needs to stop treating these stunts as legitimate. It’s a bad look to reject identity politics everywhere they see it except for this one blind spot.
Couple more days to fill up the 2025 Bingo Card and I had to use a wildcard space for Nicki Minaj and Erika Kirk on stage together.
Woah! I posted before I saw your comment!
Yeah that blew my mind last night.
“Rapper Nicki Minaj made a surprise appearance with Erika Kirk at AmericaFest Sunday, where she took questions from Charlie Kirk’s window and urged young men to be like “handsome, dashing” President Trump — while ripping California Gov. Gavin “Newscum.”
“He [Trump] has given so many people hope that there’s a chance to beat the bad guys and to win and to do it with your head held high,” Minaj told the widow Kirk about her thoughts on the president.”

US economy is 50% larger than the EU, and the Europe economy is stagnant with its industrial powerhouse (Germany) quickly becoming uncompetitive due to expensive energy.
European demographics are collapsing with low birth rates and only 2.7 workers for each retiree – this decline is expected to accelerate. Productivity also trails the US.
NATO nations spend a little less than half what the US spends on defense (454B vs 1T). The US is also the source of leading technology in defense (Stealth, hypersonic, space) compared to Europe. Europe is dominant in its neighborhood (Russia) but not competitive with a near peer adversary (China).

Good luck getting all the commission approvals required to continue thinking that thought.
Less parody, more wishful thinking.
Dude’s been smoking the crack pipe too long.
NATO hasn’t taken on the role of the whole world’s cop, so it naturally should be spending less than the U.S. on defense.
But it needs to take over defense of Europe, and that will cost it more than it is spending now.
I watched season 1 of Last Samurai Standing. Do not recommend unless there is a season 2, since pretty much nothing got resolved. It’s not bad by any means, though whichever costumer let the Meji policemen wear boots with Vibram soles needs to be disciplined. It’s only noticeable once they get cut down by a samurai, but that’s a frequent occurrence.
At times it seems very much like a live-action anime, it wouldn’t surprise me if this was originally a manga.

75 25 pork meat and some bone broth for extra moisture. Salt pepper garlic paprika chilly flakes thyme and a touch of allspice. Though not too heavily spiced they are meat forward sausages. Quite a coarse grind on the meat. Pork intestines as casings
Thank you.
When there was 15% of the meat left and one casing i added a bunch of chilly flakes to it and made one extra hot for myself.
Those are pretty. Nice job. Based on the color I guessed there was paprika in there.

After a long weekend of debates about whether the movement should exclude figures such as bigoted podcaster Nick Fuentes, Vance came down firmly against “purity tests.”
“I didn’t bring a list of conservatives to denounce or to de-platform,” Vance said during the convention’s closing speech.
But you have to.
“In the United States of America, you don’t have to apologize for being white anymore,” he said.
Vance also said the U.S. “always will be a Christian nation,” adding that “Christianity is America’s creed, the shared moral language from the Revolution to the Civil War and beyond.”

President Trump has denied disaster aid to the state of Colorado in the wake of wildfires and flooding.
The office of Colorado Gov. Jared Polis (D) announced the denial in a Sunday statement. He accused the president of playing “political games” and urged him to reconsider.
“Coloradans impacted by the Elk and Lee fires and the flooding in Southwestern Colorado deserve better than the political games President Trump is playing,” Polis said in the statement.

“Today, all of us, including our grandmas, truly are headed for a cliff: If, as projected, the Social Security Trust Fund runs out in the 2034 fiscal year, benefits will be cut by about 23 percent,” Romney wrote. “The government will need trillions of dollars to make up the shortfall.”
“And on the tax front,” he added later, “it’s time for rich people like me to pay more.”

I saw the new Avatar movie yesterday. Wow. It’s long, meandering, and doesn’t have clear plot points. It feels like they took 6 episodes of a Netflix series and stitched them together. It did look good, and the theater had Dolby sound which was great, but not great enough to justify losing all those hours of my life.
Thanks. I am probably going to be dragged to see it, I shall select a theater with good martinis.
