Indiana won the CFP championship and it was a pretty damn entertaining game. On to net year now. Oh, UCL matches start back up today. And that’s it for sports.
Well, yeah. They should be protected. How is this even controversial? Especially after the prior admin went after people merely standing on sidewalks with signs in their hand.
Is it discrimination or not? This jumped out at me: But that letter is part of a Trump administration initiative that upends 60 years of efforts by the federal government to prevent discrimination against minority groups in the U.S.
No. It was meant to prevent all discrimination of those protected classes. It’s right there in the language of the law, you imbeciles.
I wonder what this is all about. Maybe nothing, but in this day and age you can never be sure.
Probably a good idea. But they should be really careful they don’t activate any of the bombs in there.
“Because it’s my nature.” At least that’s my guess.
Good. I hope they all quit. They’re being put in an untenable situation by their local and state elected officials.
What a tragic situation. And yes, the guy is guilty. But it’s still tragic.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! The NYT sure can pick their authors: Troon/ENBY (both, no less), communist daughter of a bolshevik and a nazi collaborator, etc. Nice work there.
Just remember: you never really own anything. It always belongs to the state. I wonder if they’ll at least give the difference to the “owners” if they sell it for more than the tax bill.

Ah, this is the good kind of Russian, one that still believes in the old ways but would likely have been killed by those who ran things back in the day.
“Well, yeah. They should be protected. How is this even controversial? Especially after the prior admin went after people merely standing on sidewalks with signs in their hand.”
It was not controversial for them when they do shit, but it is by design controversial for thee (their enemies), because they believe the laws are tools to be used to crush their enemies, not to be applied equally.
Wrong thinkers deserve whatever they get — Right thinkers should be lauded whatever they do. Mob rule, not constitutional law or principles… yay.
“Is it discrimination or not? This jumped out at me: But that letter is part of a Trump administration initiative that upends 60 years of efforts by the federal government to prevent discrimination against minority groups in the U.S.

if understand they believe laws exist for them to use against their enemies, and never to be used against them, this makes perfect sense. Our problem is that we waste time arguing/explaining why the law applies to them instead of steam rolling them like they would their enemies.
Yup… see prior comment.
Our problem is that we play stupid games instead of repealing stupid evil laws. Laws against private discrimination are, and always have been, utterly inappropriate interference with freedom of association. They do not improve relations between groups, they set up additional causes for distrust.
Proggies just want to make us all a better people. Like making an omelet.
I don’t disagree. But this is about a government entity discriminating against people based on race.
And Virginia will likely be getting a letter soon as they’re about to do the same based on both race and sex in state hiring of contractors.
something something perfect enemy good

Yep, arguing and explaining is a waste of time for most of them. Don’t let them use your principles against you. See also: Don Lemon lecturing the preacher and the congregants on the nature of being a good Christian.

So you are back to government?
I have some bad news for you friend, might makes right, and a tightly bound bunch of reeds can’t be broken. There will never be any regime to secure any of our rights that isn’t also simultaneously a threat to those rights. It is a paradox and no ideology will overcome that.

I was gonna do a bit on the new Virginia legislature and governor steamrolling over the citizens of that state in their first two days on the job. But it would have taken me all day and they’ve probably levied a tax on people from other states mentioning them and/or proposed criminalizing any criticism of their actions. So I didn’t bother.
If nothing has taught the GOP to take note of what their opponents will do with power and to wield it appropriately, this should be it. But they will probably never learn.
You could just link to the Twitchy summary. I doubt that’s actually summarizing all of it.. but that’s a few of the featured highlights so far.
Holy fuckballs.
All of that reads exactly like it already is NY and CA.
But yeah, this sort of thing is just what is going to happen when the Dems take back the House. They are going to punish the country, hard.
Agreed Sloop. It is starting to make sense that the democrats want to destroy America and Americans, and most of the republicans pretend to want to stop them from doing that…
I remind people that is how we got Trump, and why they want to make sure another Trump never happens again..
Too bad the GOP are largely controlled opposition scum and collaborators. They don’t get certain things done because they don’t want to get those things done.
Too bad that Democrats can actually muster majorities of voters, and that this what our fellow citizens actually want.
Democrats don’t muster majorities of anything but criminals. What they are good at is rigging elections and legalizing the crime they use to steal them.
OK Alex, let’s say it isn’t even a true majority, it is close enough that the result is plausible. Get over the idea that everyone else in the world is like you. Hell, people vote for Lindsay Graham too – does that really make more sense than voting for Mamdani?
I am sure Graham’s wins are also rigged. He is after all part of the old “we will pretend to want to stop the democrats and the marxist globalist cabal”..
You get what you vote for.
Or at least what I and 300 ballots sent to an empty storefront in Seattle voted for….
“But they will probably never learn.”
It’s part of their business model. So they can fund-raise off it.

Sorry for the early OT, but I felt compelled to share. Designers must feel their work on “open office” concepts are complete and they’ve moved on to hotels.
Guests are waving goodbye to the luxury of a fully-closable opaque barrier between the restroom and bedroom, checking in to find sliding barn doors, curtains, strategically placed walls and other replacements that aren’t as proficient in the art of noise and smell containment.
https://www.wsj.com/lifestyle/travel/hotels-bathroom-no-doors-8cb4bf96?st=VA2Voz&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink
Just put the toilet the toilet between the bed and the kitchenette and get it over with already.
Hotel management: Don’t you want to smell that turd your roommate is torquing out while you are laying in bed cranking your pud, huh?
Replace the cuck chair with a second toilet, so you can both take a quality dump at the same time and then get the smell in stereo.
Put the toilet on a pedestal in the middle of the room.
Does that come with the German in a gimpsuit?
I am now worried about your aesthetic choices JI…
Aloft hotels use barn-sliders on the bathrooms. No, dude, give me a real door.
After the Summer O Love and subsequent years — I just assumed any officers left in the Twin Cities, Seattle and Portland were all True Believers mainlining the Kool-Aid. So they may be taking leave just so they don’t have to have any chance of supporting ICE instead of trying to avoid the mob. Don’t know… glad I’m not there. Just wondering how long until someone actually tries invoking the Insurrection Act, gets blocked by a District Judge and then we get months of legal back and forth on whether the judge is part of an insurrection… interesting times.
Those officers have been ordered not to cooperate with ICE so I have heard they are not even present at the riots.
But yeah, I am sure they are already hated there after several years of ACAB and “defund the police”. I’d bail too.
Hey hey, let’s not get carried away now. They were just exercising their first amendment right to shit on others’ first amendment rights and issue implied threats. That’s totally constitutionally protected speech on private property, especially after being told to leave.
People will get riled up, the DOJ will issue condemnation and threats, and nothing will happen but maybe they’ll surprise me.
I think the DOJ will actually do something here. The right is relentless in their pressure and the leaders of the mob who went into the church are running their mouths about how they planned to do it, plus they’re daring the DOJ to arrest them. It’s a perfect storm of pressure from both sides and they have no way out except to actually enforce the law in this case.
My only hope is that they charge everybody involved with conspiracy in a different venue where some of the conspirators (see: Lemon, Don) set their part of the crime in motion. Because if they charge them locally, they’re gonna struggle to find an impartial jury willing to convict them for what is very clearly a criminal enterprise.
Keith Ellison already said he would let them off any charges brought in state…
Well there’s always the Insurrection Act but the Donald, King of the Nazi Realm, is also a squeamish little bitch when it comes to wielding power to fight those who also wield power. It looks like they’ve already made the calculation that it’s more politically advantageous to piss and moan while innocent people get stomped on. Again, maybe they’ll surprise me…we’ll see I guess.
Bondi seems quite capable of resisting any amount of pressure from the right. She has managed to not indict much of anybody, and certainly nobody who matters, in connection with the Insurrection-Industrial Complex.
The right is finding out, right now, just how useless their ‘pressure’ is.
My take on Bondi is more that she’s just not particularly bright.
“My take on Bondi is more that she’s just not particularly bright.”
But Dat Ass, and Them Tiddies!
The Bee sees Bondi differently sloop.
I always thought it should have been that Harmeet Dhillon chick. She seems more capable?

I read this Monday morning quarterbacking crap, and wondered if the idiots that wrote this watched the commentators during the game point out how brilliant the decision to receive first so the Bills would know EXACTLY what kind of score they needed to keep the game going or win, was.
This shit is just annoying.
It’s also situational. If my offense has spent the 4th quarter battering the defense and I sense they are getting gassed, then I probably want the ball. Same if my defense needs a breather. If we just tied it up on a great drive and are playing at home, I probably take the ball. But all things being equal, I probably kick so we know what we’re up against.
Comparing 18 games and saying one way is better is dumb since each game has a different complexion, different way it wound up tied, injuries, team strengths and weaknesses.
It is annoying. People thinking that ‘their’ team always owe them a victory. Forgetting that other people feel the same way about ‘their’ team. And that the other team also wants to win. This isn’t the Globetrotters versus the Generals.

I was wondering if it was a “home” game for Miami on purpose or happenstance?

happenstance; the venue was chosen far in advance of the season.

Yeah, I figured that would be the case because a southern Florida or a Texas venue seems to de rigeur for most championship games.
Which is kind of funny since they are debating a 16 team field for next year. How in the hell does next year’s championship game get pushed to Jan 25th?
I’d be happy if they pushed it beyond the Australian Open that got pre-empted and which I was much more interested in watching. 😠

I was told that the Trump tariffs would impoverish us. DOOM and all that.
The best part of this shit is that the CCP cabal just switched to dumping their shit in the EU, and those tools let them do it to them out of spite cause bad orange guy, to the tune of a $1.2 trillion haul by the CCP cabal (which I am going to agree is dubious, but they are fucking over the EU, and a couple of more quarters of this, and the welfare states will be doomed).
Speaking of which. I hear roving mobs in Minneapolis are actually haranguing people and demanding the common citizens not only prove they are not ICE agents, but then demand these proles swear loyalty/fealty to the marxist cabal’s shit. And I suspect that Soros owned asshat Ellison, in order to protect the criminal government social services fraud, would immediately charge & prosecute anyone that genuinely felt their life was in danger from this mob and sent a few of them on early retirement to hell.
The vids I’ve seen of roving gangs forcing random people to say the leftist catechism du joure are disgusting.
When I pull a gun on them, they’ll be able to see it isn’t a government issued GLOCK 19.
“Divorce was “not an option” for Virginia IRS agent Brandon Banfield, who wanted leave his wife and run off with the sultry Brazilian au pair he’d been sleeping with for barely two months.
So Banfield, 40, allegedly devised a twisted plot to lure a fetish-seeker to his home under the guise of playing out a rape fantasy with his 37-year-old wife, Christine, and then shoot the kinkster in the act and stab his wife to stage an assault and murder, all while making himself appear a tragic hero.
That’s according to the naughty nanny herself — 25-year-old Juliana Peres Magalhães — who testified about the whole sordid affair as Banfield’s murder trial kicked off last week, where she detailed weeks of meticulous preparation while insisting she was only following her lover’s orders.”

These things never work.
It seemed like the perfect plan.
Why was divorce not an option? You should know how people hide their wealth – shift your assets to someplace offshore, be broke or in debt when you file, and walk away.
Jeez, and the au pair was not even a hottie Brazilian. Brandon must’ve been suffering from Schwarzenegger syndrome.
Screw whatever happens to be there? Also a Bill Clinton move.

While I agree with the premise of this article, I think things are much worse. Toxic feminine empathy has basically made the left be empathic to evil criminals and seeing them as the victims, while seeing victims of crime as the supremacists. And I am unsure how to cure that level of insanity. Maybe we need a societal collapse, all out the strong get what they want, and women will end this stupid shit. Of course, I would prefer it without the century long dark ages that will be the first part of that cycle..
And I am unsure how to cure that level of insanity.
Close every college campus’s fine arts department and school of education for five years and conscript every 18-23 year old woman for a term of five years of public works projects digging ditches and/or clearing roadways. Allow them early release from conscription if they get married and birth a child.
While they’re working, you replace the professors in those departments with the most toxically masculine people imaginable (it’s not as if those programs need real instruction anyway), and when the students return to the universities, they can be taught that they’re better off as homemakers.
Ok, I’m kidding. The simpler solution is to end federal student loan programs altogether and decouple the colleges from the state.
“Ok, I’m kidding. The simpler solution is to end federal student loan programs altogether and decouple the colleges from the state.”
I would also want this to be accompanied by an end to any and all liberal arts “studies” courses immediately. Make the degree you get define the cost of the college experience instead of charging everyone the same, while issuing more than 70% of your degrees in areas where the cost of the degree far outpaces any opportunity for gainful employment, and you might have a chance.
“Chase Strangio, co-director of the ACLU LGBTQ and HIV Rights Project and an attorney involved in the Supreme Court case, came out in 2020 to advocate for banning Abigail Shrier’s book “Irreversible Damage,” which took a skeptical look at youth gender-affirming medicine.

It was never a contest. In addition to Danish and Greenlandic forces armed for winter warfare, the allies included a shipload of British Royal Navy admirals; a Canadian armored detachment handpicked in compliance with the nation’s strict commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion; a German fleet of battery-powered armored fighting vehicles that had to be abandoned when the only charging stations in Nuuk, the territory’s capital, broke down; and a Dutch infantry battalion that was forced to withdraw because of a shortage of ammunition, and discovered that shouting “bang-bang,” as they had been trained, was of little effect in battle.

So take the trend with a huge grain of salt.
Who the fuck is paying $4 for a baked potato rather than baking their own?
For NYC street food – that’s in line. Also, even raw some specialty potato is going to be expensive.

The parties switched!
The best part about “the Parties switched” is that they apparently switch back and forth every 15 minutes. So for St FDR, Dems are Dems, unless you look at what was going on in the South during his tenure, what with that pesky Jim Crow and all. Then the parties switched during Eisenhower and the beginnings of the Civil Rights, movement, then they switch back for JFK and LBJ, except when we’re in Selma, then they switch back and so on.
The Dems are still the party of the plantation – just now it is the compassion plantation and you stray from it boy and we’ll whip your ass.
The only reason they get away with this crap is somehow they managed to convince America that they “care” when in fact they’re keeping “minorities” down every bit as much as they always did.
The “parties switch” BS line happens whenever someone brings up the D’s past that they don’t like, and don’t want to talk about.

Can’t be any worse than the current black lesbian.
Years ago, I stumbled onto a handful of books that went through a series of true crime cases from the 17th and 18th centuries. I think the last one might have actually been in the early 19th. Anyway, since then I’ve been trying to find more of the same. However, it seems the genre doesn’t like to venture earlier than Jack the Ripper – probably because it gets harder to research. Anyone have any leads on similar material (audiobook preferred, as I consume most of my books while driving these days).
On a related but tangential note – I am thinking about a sequel to Judge of Jinwick, and wanted opinions on whether I should keep the “Glibs-compatable serialization” format, which takes more conscious effort from me to craft the scenes around the format. Or if I should regress to my standard workflow, which tend to produce chapters that don’t serialize as readily.
Nope, but the recent The Rest is History podcast series on Jack the Ripper was pretty good.
I’m looking for obscure cases. (and I’m not fond of the podcast format in general too much faffing about)
I can’t get to it now, but if you hit YouTube and search the Rest is History podcast and then search a body in the woods they have some reference material for a 12th century murder.
Podcasts are predicated around the pleasant perception of the personalities of the presenters, and provide a parsimonious percentage of pertinant pieces particular to the actual topic.
Early 19th, but have you read The Devil in the White City?
Meant for UnCiv
I have not.
I do have to nitpick, that says it’s set in 1893, which isn’t ‘early’ 19th.
Fair point – thought it was earlier for some reason (my mental timeline of general history is terrible).
Great book nonetheless.
I do thank you for the recommendation.
Looking at the synopsis, I’m afraid I’ve run into a disqualifying factor not mentioned – I already know the case. It’s been too well covered.
Ah, well, I tried. Only other similar thing I can think of is fiction.
There’s a lot of fiction. I’ve been working on the Master Mercurius series, and annoyed that the unabridged Cadfael audiobooks abruptly stop somewhere around volume 15 or so. (Who in their right minds wants an abridged version of fiction?)

My brother would pay me to stand in the corner for him while he played with the dog
That is hilarious.
Our apartment looked like a frustrated artist lived there when the kids found markers, but they never had the dog pick the colors.
When I was a kid, I created a masterpiece of crayon on wall and signed my little sister’s name on it.
When questioned by my mother about the origin of the picture, I looked at it and said “It must have been Sis. Look there is her name”. It was the perfect plan except for the fact that my sister was too little and didn’t even know how to write her name yet.
Mom gave me a legendary beating with The Stick for that. Later she claimed it wasn’t the wall drawing that made her so mad, it was how utterly sincere my lying was that pissed her off.
That’s amazing.
As a parent, I understand that feeling.
A foreign observer taking stock of the United States could describe us as a nation on the brink of civil war.
Okay, drama queen.
Civil war as done by theater kids.
Hey, I’ll take that instead of civil war as done by weebs.
*3 episodes of people yelling while charging their power*
If I had even a trace of artistic talent I’d draw an anime with a protagonist whose super power is his ability to walk up and bash the opponent in the face while they are in the midst of their 3 episode mid fight monologue/conversation with their allies. Call him No Pose Man or something.
We are making ourselves stupider.
You’ve got me there.
I retract my statement from the other day. 80% of the people in this country are not subsumed by hysterical delusional paranoia and apocalyptic fantasies. They are doing their level best to ignore and evade the 20% who are.
Yes. If the 20% goes too far with violence and taking over government with dirty tricks – blood will flow.
“There is no database tracking when ICE agents use force against women. But a growing number of videos captured throughout the first year of the second Trump administration offer some insight into the violent encounters that women have experienced: broken car windows, yanking, shoving, pepper-spraying and shootings, all of them out in the open and available on social media.”

It’s a mystery.
““All of these things converge to entrap women and make more violence in their lives and have fewer ways for them to escape the violence,” said Dr. Carolyn West, a professor of psychology at the University of Washington Tacoma. “So, it’s not just the violence in your home, it’s the violence in your workplace, it’s the violence in the larger community. It’s state-sponsored violence; all of these things converging together.”
Where the hell do these women work?
There is no escape from violence for women!
I wonder if the women are only fined 70 cents for every fine a man receives?
Nope, their dollars only count for 70% of male dollars, which is why women’s stuff costs more overall.
Labor unions, community leaders and faith groups are calling for an economic blackout in Minnesota on Friday to protest the surge of federal immigration agents in the state and mourn Renee Good.
Let me know how that works out…
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jan/20/ice-immigrarion-minnesota-economic-protest
At least the local nerds will be able to have lunch in peace.
I think the boycott will be successful. It is supposed to be really cold on Friday (high of -9). Staying home in that weather is an easy sell.
Spectacular. Not the first time something like that has happened.
A large sit-in is planned at Duloot City Hall on Fridee. Weather is supposed to be cold though.
Lots of chatter on https://www.reddit.com/r/duluth/ asking which hotels ICE agent are staying at.

Except it isnt clear cut when it comes to policy. Personally want to cut your penis off…no one in government except maybe a handful are stopping you.
Want to reap special benefits/protrctions from that action..then it affects policy.

Global markets plunged Tuesday after President Donald Trump reignited fears of a U.S. trade war with the European Union, America’s largest trading partner.

The S&P 500 sold off by around 1.3% in early trading, while the Nasdaq Composite plunged 1.7%.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped more than 600 points. U.S. markets were closed Monday in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

OH NOES!!!!!!
The reframe is this is the perfect time to snatch up a bunch of real good stocks…
Markets in Europe also saw sharp drops for the second day in a row Tuesday. Germany’s benchmark DAX index dropped 1.2%, Britain’s FTSE 100 fell 1% and Italy’s FTSE MIB slid 1.3%.
The STOXX Europe 600, Europe’s equivalent to the S&P 500, tumbled 1.1%, with all but a handful of the hundreds of stocks on that index in the red.
The CBOE Volatility Index, also known as Wall Street’s fear gauge, rose to its highest level since mid-November on the blizzard of risks facing investors.
Maybe I’m crazy, but one per cent strikes me as pretty weak “volatility”. It barely qualifies as noise, much less signal.

They are referencing the VIX. You can play volatility. In this case they mean option appreciation.

Correct.

Wall St. runs this model essentially in real time on all the options desks. You’ll note that the standard deviation of the returns helps determine value.

“Left-wing podcaster Jennifer Welch claimed on Monday that Trinidadian-born rapper Nicki Minaj is a “racist, bigoted homophobe” and aligns herself with “the white nationalist form of Christianity” after Minaj called for former CNN host Don Lemon to be arrested in the wake of him being seen alongside anti-ICE agitators who stormed a church in St Paul, Minnesota.”
https://thepostmillennial.com/don-lemon-far-left-podcaster-call-nicki-minaj-white-nationalist-for-calling-for-ex-cnn-host-to-be-jailed
Ironically, Jennifer Welch is the worst.
“Minaj was not involved in the viral 2020 song WAP, which stands for “Wet A** P*ssy.” The song was done by rapper Cardi B and featured fellow rapper Megan Thee Stallion. Lemon similarly did not know who did the song. “Well, I’m glad you said WAP, and if you listen to Nicki Minaj’s music, and you’re like, okay, that’s Christianity,” he said.
Lemon later added, “Nicki Minaj is not a Christian. She knows nothing about Christianity, but she is a grifter. And instead of that Chucky doll, she should have had a pick me doll on there, because Nicki Minaj is a pick me. And she doesn’t—she’s not African American. I think she’s from the Islands. She is a black woman, but she doesn’t understand the African American struggle, so to speak. And if she did, she wouldn’t be doing this and saying this on Martin Luther King Day, on the Martin Luther King holiday of all days.””
retarded and gay
She was born in Trinidad, which still imported slaves from Africa, right? Don Lemon was born in Louisiana, so also not African American I guess.
Retardism. It’s everywhere.
So Lemon agrees that the Somalis don’t understand the African American struggle too?
“Lemon was seen kissing one of the head organizers of “Operation Pull Up” on the cheek, Nekima Armstrong, prior to the agitators storming the church. He also praised the agitators, telling them “Thank you for your service,” and handing out coffee and donuts to the group. Lemon told the camera at one point that he knew that the agitators were “gearing up for resistance and protest” at the church.”

Ooooooooh! You called her by the wrong name! It is Nekima Levy Armstrong you bigot!
She’s been a special person in Mpls for a long time.
There is no way she is ever going to back down from this church protest scandal. She has never, ever, ever admitted to being wrong (despite being wrong so many times). It will be an early Christmas present to watch her talk her way into some jail time.
Mom gave me a legendary beating with The Stick for that. Later she claimed it wasn’t the wall drawing that made her so mad, it was how utterly sincere my lying was that pissed her off.
