That’s all I got for today. I’ll leave you with a song and move along with my day.
“The White House said Tuesday that President Donald Trump and his senior advisers are actively weighing options to acquire Greenland, with the potential use of the U.S. military remaining on the table as part of that effort.”
Oh that’s what weird headline meant.
“The real question is, by what right does Denmark assert control over Greenland? What is the basis of their territorial claim? What is their basis of having Greenland as a colony of Denmark? The United States is the power of NATO,” Miller said. “For the United States to secure the Arctic region, to protect and defend NATO and NATO interests, obviously Greenland should be part of the United States. And so that’s a conversation that we’re going to have as a country. That’s a process we’re going to have as a new community of nations.”
It’s evil colonizers all the way down.
Here’s an idea. How about MAHA goes on about how butter cookies are the worst. Launch a national campaign about the evils of butter cookies. Then we kidnap the King of Denmark for poisoning our country?
Fucking brilliant.
and lose the sewing vote? I don’t think so!
You know how many of those cookies come out of India instead?
Don’t eat them even if the tin has any.
I refuse to believe India could produce something so bland.
Butter cookies are too spicy for UCS.
LEAVE BUTTER ALONE!

Trump Outlines His Plans for Venezuela After Maduro’s Capture
blackjack and hookers?
Blow should already be there.
“The challenge to Trump’s tariffs is among the most closely watched of the cases awaiting decisions by the top U.S. judicial body that could impact the global economy and marks a major test of presidential powers.”
If they canceled all of Trump’s tariff deals it would cause chaos.
Instead let us allow the continued expansion of Executive authority at the expense of Congress (even when Congress willingly gives it)?
I’m not in favor of all the executive orders that get flipped back and forth, but Congress can’t seem to do shiitake except spend money.
Maybe SCotUS saying “hey assholes – you can’t pass off this authority/responsibility without amending the Constitution” would get their attention? Probably not, but it would at least be amusing watching the partisan scramble to that.
“On his first day back in office, January 20, 2025, President Trump issued sweeping blanket pardons and commutations for nearly 1,600 patriotic Americans prosecuted for their presence at the Capitol—many mere trespassers or peaceful protesters treated as insurrectionists by a weaponized Biden DOJ.”
He should have done that the end of his first term.
He can follow precedent this time and preemptively pardon his family and friends on the way out.
Thats different!
Two weeks after J6, he wouldn’t have known who the vast majority of future political prisoners even were, so he couldn’t have pardoned them.
He believed they were a bunch of terrorists. He believes what he sees on the Teevee.
Would he need to know their names? Couldn’t he just pardon all participants?
He believes what he sees on the Teevee.
Chance the Gardener is president?
He likes to watch.
COVID fraud wasn’t exclusively a Democrat or black thing — here’s one example.
But I’d bet the feds would find widespread fraud, particularly in certain “communities,” should they ignore cries of “RAYSISM” and actually take a hard look.
Its the perfect cover for anyone not male and not white. Cry discrimination for what special group you identify with and watch politicians make excuses for your fraud.
Americans are told to be fearful with large sums of cash yet here we are seeing refugees and immigrants moving large sums with no fear.
The difference is that the citizens’ cash will be stolen by the government and the illegal aliens’ cash was given to them by the government.
There was a story awhile back about some whistleblower at the Minneapolis airport saying it was routine for Somalis with suitcases full of cash to be waved through.
That’s a good point. There is a clear and obvious double standard about assets forfeiture.
However, these Somalis with Suitcases of Cash aren’t being pulled by local or state law enforcement; they are being waved through security by TSA agents, who are not actual law enforcement. But it is curious that we haven’t heard of a single SSC being pulled by locals for speeding, and the locals then call their DEA buddies to seize the cash.
The same TSA agents who will absolutely put you in a room until somebody comes to take your cash?
If White Boy Dean was lugging a suitcase full of cash onto a flight to a known terrorism hotbed, you can bet your ass it wouldn’t get waved through.
Yep. When we moved, our biggest worry was moving our on hand cash reserves. Legitimately earned cash and we knew two white folk driving cross-country would be prime targets.
Does TSA not benefit from civil forfeiture? It also seems from my outsider’s perspective that TSA agents are clock-punchers without the thin blue line mentality of cops.
I could also imagine that there is a great deal of variability in the back-scratching cultures between TSA and local LE in different cities.
TSA has the letterman my grandmother gave me.
Fuck them.
Assholes wouldn’t even let me break the blade off of it.
It is literally nothing more than fear of being labeled “racist”.
Emerald Robinson makes the point everyone on both sides misses about J6.

Which would have accomplished exactly nothing. I have no doubt that Pelosi did everything she could to cause the protests to get out of hand, but it wasn’t a panicky attempt to avoid a purely symbolic gesture that no one would care about the next day. It was to do exactly what it did, give the Democrats a magic response to any criticism of their go to strategy of rioting in the streets.
This has been playing out for a while. Rumor was Russia was sending submarines to escort it. It would appear the US decided to act before they could get there.
U.S. Forces Launch Operation to Seize Fleeing Oil Tanker
https://www.wsj.com/world/u-s-forces-launch-operation-to-seize-fleeing-oil-tanker-0d6443ab?st=1QxqRm&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink
+! Bedford incident
If tanker is supposedly empty now…what are we chasing it down for? Other cargo?
It runs sanctioned oil. So one less tanker that does this trade.
It’s basically to send a signal. There is no economic reason to do it.
How long before Russia and China start seizing random American and European owned tankers?
Also, what the hell is the Coast Guard doing there and what happens if they get blown out of the water?
Not liking our new “we can do anything we want” approach to international relations.
The thing was flying a false flag when the US started chasing it. They phone up their Russian masters who said we will give your our flag and a new name.
They painted the flag and new name on the vessel while being pursued.
Let’s not pretend Russia is playing by the rules here either. However, the whole thing is ridiculous.
Why were we chasing anyone’s empty tanker?
Team America World Police
I’m not defending it – but according to the lunacy of “international law” the US was lawfully wasting our tax dollars to pursue it and keep Europe safe.
Unflagged and false-flagged ships have been fair game for navies for centuries.
If Russia (you mean like attacking grain freighters heading to Africa, in the Black Sea? Even Putin stopped that in the face of the whole world screaming at him) and China try, it will be quite interesting. (I’d love to hear a basis, too) Not that there are more than a handful of US flagged ships anyways.
I know it is painful for you because Russia is getting hurt, but this actually follows US and “International” law – OFAC and the UNCLOS. No “I call myself Russian, and look, painted flag!” You have to register, be insured and the like. This is just Russia using some leftover shite ships to run oil to/from Cuba, Iran, China and such.
Sorry this kicks the IRGC, Russia and China in the wedding tackle, but thems the breaks.
BREAKING Despite Russia deploying a submarine to protect the tanker Bella 1 in the Atlantic Ocean, U.S. airborne forces began helicopter landings on the tanker minutes ago. An operation is currently underway to seize the tanker belonging to Russia’s shadow fleet.
Now, if the Russian sub shoots on and sinks that tanker, things get real interesting real fast.
“Austin Peay State University has reinstated tenured theatre professor Darren Michael after he was fired over a controversial social media post following the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
Michael and the university settled last month, resulting in his return to the job. What’s more, Austin Peay will pay Michael half a million dollars as reimbursement for what is being described as “therapeutic counseling services.””

OFFS!!
“It’s not my money!”
Memories Pizza for the lefties.
Makes you wonder if the whole thing was just kayfabe to slip the prof some reward money for saying goodthinkful things.
*clicks to see why he was fired*
He wasn’t fired for much, and it is a university…everyone here is an asshole.
Yeah, definitely looked like the university responded to the politician.
I have credits from there.
Was not impressed with the quality of the overall student body.
The tech side seemed to be OK.
“Gangs of armed pro-regime militants on motorbikes have taken over the streets of Caracas, hunting down Venezuelans who support the US’s audacious capture of dictator Nicolás Maduro, according to videos and on-the-ground accounts shared with The Post and multiple reports.
The masked thugs, known as Colectivos, holding Russian automatic weapons, brought rush hour traffic to a grinding halt in the Venezuelan capital, stopping drivers at checkpoints and demanding to search their phones and cars, four sources in Venezuela confirmed Monday and Tuesday.”
https://nypost.com/2026/01/06/world-news/pro-maduro-motorcycle-gang-colectivos-hunting-for-trump-supporters-in-caracas/
It going to take time to de-shithole.
You don’t fix that much damage in a day.
Not too surprising, since Trump left the entire commie government in place except for Maduro. Of course they are going to do what commie governments do when the kulaks get uppity.
Colectivos
Can’t you just feel the warmth?
It’s enough to make kings and vagabonds believe the very best.
“pro-regime militants”
Guarantee they’re getting paid by someone.
“It going to take time to de-shithole.”
Yeah, that’s the game they’re playing, trying to draw us into a long, costly, and unwinnable occupation.
One of the great ones reminding us what sophisticated humor looks like.
“A horrifying video caught a Queens man allegedly dragging two helpless dogs behind his car as he drove through Long Island City on Sunday evening — alarming onlookers, who quickly called the cops, according to authorities.
The disturbing clip showed the pair of pups, a German shepherd named Marzipan and a pit bull named Nougat, tied up by their leashes to the back of a red Volkswagen Passat and struggling to keep up as the car drives to the intersection of 11th Street and 43rd Avenue around 6 p.m., according to the footage and prosecutors….
A witness contacted the NYPD, and officers arrested the 68-year-old driver, Dan Bujor, and removed Nougat and Marzipan to be examined by the ASPCA in Manhattan.
Bujor was arraigned Monday night on two counts of overdriving, torturing and injuring animals, failure to provide sustenance and driving by an unlicensed operator for the disturbing incident caught on camera, Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz announced on Tuesday.”

CWAA
At least they didn’t shoot the dogs. Yet.
The ASPCA will shoot them.
It’s what they do.
No heros in this story.
I thought they gassed them rather than shot them.
overdriving?
I saw that too. I assume it’s specifically an old law resulting with working an animal.
For example, running a horse until it collapses.
Im surprised they allowed such gendered language to remain in 2018 when the statute was revised.
Trump wrote. “This Oil will be sold at its Market Price, and that money will be controlled by me, as President of the United States of America”
If he doesn’t do any better with Venezuela’s money than he has with our money the road is gonna be bumpy for a lot more people.
Sure hope the prez doesn’t decide to help me
“Former NFL offensive lineman Matt Kalil is reportedly suing his ex-wife, model Haley Kalil, after she discussed the size of his private parts as being a reason behind the end of their marriage.
The 36-year-old former Panther and Viking claimed that Haley’s comments during a livestream in November were “invasive” and destroyed his chance to stay out of the public eye after he retired from the NFL, according to TMZ, which reviewed the lawsuit filed on Tuesday.
Haley’s comments came in a November appearance on Marlon Garcia’s “Mar-Athon” livestream, when she described his penis size as “two Coke cans, maybe even a third,” and explained that it impacted their marriage, which ended in 2022.”

“A standard 12 oz Coca-Cola can measures approximately 4.83 inches (12.3 cm) in height.”
Sort of a reverse Streisand Effect move. By suing her, he keeps his, err, hungitude in the, umm, public eye.
What happens when you shake up 3 coke cans?
I’m not sure that the height of the Coke cans is the relevant measurement…
😨
+1 baby’s arm holding an apple
As I noted at the time, your ex-wife talking about how your wang was just too enormous isn’t exactly an attack.
3 * 4.83 = 14.49
So, not a size queen? What’s her number?
She prefers Pepsi?
Aside from a misleading title and some sensational initial reporting a rather a good report on the hell that is “book time” and the tool burden for auto mechanics.
The $160,000 Mechanic Job That Ford Can’t Fill
https://www.wsj.com/business/autos/the-160-000-mechanic-job-that-ford-cant-fill-fe6fd121?st=1ganaE&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink
TLDR – mean wages are much lower, tool costs are high, book time is double edged and hard to overcome for new techs, high income come from experience and managing and training other techs.
A career I considered and I’m happy I didn’t pursue. It also would not have made my family happy.
I had the same experience. I started down that path. The money sucks and you have to finance really expensive tools. Honestly if Ford requires specialized tools they should hand them out to master mechanics, not make them pay thousands for them.
Even then, you have to be in great shape and stay in great shape. And then there are the endless classes on new products…
This is what I always think of when I see people complaining that teachers have to buy supplies.
I wanted to be a mechanic but couldn’t afford schooling after high school, so I joined the Marines.
Just wanted to be a Marine so I went in open contract, meaning the Marine Corps would pick my job.
Later when I found out the Marines had mechanics, I wished I went that route instead.
As a shade tree mechanic and a guy that puresued an ed degree I can’t agree with Ron more.
Teachers whine a lot.
People in construction mostly buy their own tools. Many jobs require you to buy uniforms. Many provide shit equipment or shit gear so people buy their own. Teachers were bitching about school supplies when I had to have a closet full of suits and they were wearing whatever the fuck was in the top drawer of the dresser that day.
Fuck the whiners.
I got an Ed degree and never taught. My kids always said “I had no class” and they wuz right.
Teachers would have fainted had they known I had to pay over $300 for my work boots that were required for the job and that I had multiple pairs while making less than $10 an hour when I was taking elementary Ed courses.
I still have my hammer, saw, and other equipment from my framing carpenter days.
In the Marines our wet weather gear was shiite.
The first time I went to Yausubetsu on Hokkaiddo, I was miserable in our issued gear.
There was a group of Corporals that had bought camouflage rain suits and Matterhorn boots, they seemed fine.
A year and a half later we were going back, so I bought the same gear they had.
Best $400 I spent in my life.
If you marry your teacher, you don’t need to teach.
Those in charge of my unit would have article 15d my ass had I bought my own rain gear. Total uniform Nazis, if it wasent issued you couldn’t wear it. Woe to those caught wearing white socks. I got my ass chewed for carrying (not wearing) a civilian backpack. All those assholes retired as E7s and 8s.
It was only allowed for field ops and the camo pattern had to match our issued gear.
The Matterhorns were black, just like our issued boots.
Field was garrison as far as they were concerned.
No leeway except for boots in Iraq. I even got the stink eye for my Nick’s smokejumpers. Only real boots I had in the army. The issue ones are like high top flip flops
Meh, I’m a car nut, so I quite enjoy it. I quit a lucrative job at a mutual fund company to start repairing cars 20 years ago after having to rediagnose several jobs done wrong at a local dealership and also hearing of the stories from co-workers and then working on those co-workers cars. My client base grew from word of mouth fairly quickly.
I totally get it. You are also an independent and now a shop owner.
I think that’s the route to a happier future for most mechanics. I’m very happy with my mechanic and treat him accordingly. He does right by me and I try to do the same for him.
The dealer tech generally never actually interacts with a customer.
I get short videos from dealer techs. That’s the limit of “interaction”. But it is nice to see the vehicle on the lift and shown what they’re doing.
I’ve had the same service advisor at both dealerships since purchasing. Which is good.
“Florida tattoo shop owner Wendy Marshall is so fond of raw meat that she scarfs 2 pounds of it daily. Ground chuck, cold cuts, whole roasts, porterhouses, the bloodier the better — Marshall devours it all.
“I love ripping the flesh straight off the bone,” Marshall, 28, declared before popping a marbled chunk of steak into her mouth in a clip from Wednesday’s “My Strange Addiction” premiere, provided exclusively to The Post. A loud “raw meat burp” quickly followed.”
https://nypost.com/2026/01/07/health/eating-2-pounds-of-raw-meat-a-day-led-to-bizarre-infection/
Classy.
Don’t give her the attention, that’s what she’s really hungry for.
I for some reason would eat raw meat when I was younger. Not sure why.
*lights Suthen signal*
No shit?
Meh. Steak tartar is a classic French dish. People eat raw fish in sushi all the time.
🤮
We invented cooking for a reason. Apply heat.
Assuming you grind your own – it’s reasonable risk tradeoff.
Similarly, sushi is flash frozen to kill parasites.
OTH, my favorite focus here is on raw egg. There is a very small chance of salmonella that is widely blown out of proportion along with how even it you do wind up being infected for most people it just means a bad day or two of GI distress.
Also, oysters.
First, who brought up risk? The behavior of eating like a wild animal is just disgusting.
But if you do want to discuss risk, the “look at me” picture in the article is of the attention seeker eating from a store ground package.
That article is a whole lot of assumptions and what-ifs too.
De gustibus non est disputandum, Unciv.
Sorry slumbrew, that defunct saying has always been wrong, even when more people spoke latin.
Hey UCS, stop doing that!
Sushi/sashimi is awesome.
Rare steak is awesome too, although the cut needs to be right.
I didn’t used to like raw oysters, but a young lady of my acquaintance ordered some not too long ago, and damn if they weren’t enjoyable. Probably never going to be a regular thing, but on a special occasion? Hell yes.
And how can you make a proper whiskey sour without an egg white?
I’ve never had steak tartare, but I’d give it a try given the right place…
I am surprised by the lack of steak tartar eaters here. There’s a place here that if I’m there with someone other than the girlfriend (she balks at steak tartar) it’s a likely order, alongside their roasted bone marrow.
I’m surprised at you, Mr Ilium. And shocked at the number of people willing to accept undercooked food.
Her “partners family” looms like they need to get on the meat diet.
I never tried raw steak, but I love mediume rare and if it’s rare that’s better than overcooked.
Raw oysters are amazing.
Sometimes at a seafood place, I will get raw oysters as an appetizer, eat my meal and then order raw oysters for dessert.
My wife says this is weird, but she has no taste, I mean she married me.
I’d give steak tartar a try, then.
I’ll note it’s not a dish to try at a cut-rate place :-). You want a place that’s hand cutting some quality steak right before they serve it to you.
Animal’s profile pic looks different on that website. Much smaller muzzle.
“What The Hell Was That Pro-Obesity Commercial During Rose Bowl Game?
Eli Lilly and Company make billions of dollars on drugs that combat obesity, which is why it promotes the condition as “healthy.”
https://www.outkick.com/culture/lilly-rose-bowl-halftime-obesity-ad-controversy
Curious.
“Second, it actually is the business of other Americans if their fellow citizens are obese, because we pay billions of dollars in taxes and a lot of that money goes into government-funded health care.”
I hate this argument with the white-hot heat of a thousand suns.
Yeah, that stood out to me too.
I’m just wondering how that ad makes Lilly money.
We have to have government subsidize health care because it is the compassionate thing to do! Government subsidizing health care makes your private decisions a matter of public interest because we have to pay for your care, so you must do as we command. What? How can you object? Do you want to be on the hook for extra costs that could have been avoided? I thought you believed in cutting spending?
Yeah right there with you.
They should just convince the left by saying redistribution of wealth is bad.
How about you stop taking my money for other people’s health care?
How else can they show they care, Neph?
It is an inevitable argument once you grant the govt that place within any marketplace. Good luck trying to convince the normies that we should so without all of that govt money there.
To me it reads like the same phenomenon as oil or utility companies preening about their “green” bona fides in order to score brownie points.
Either that or they want more fat people to make money off of.

Late reply to last night’s post:
I wound up with zero of my family guns. My mother hates them, so my grandparent’s wound up going to my uncle. Said uncle went a bit crazy when my aunt died, and immediately married an even crazier woman, and when he died, her family snarfed them all up. I did recover my father’s Ruger Mark I, my mother got it out of the house and handed it to my BIL when Dad’s Parkinsons started kicking in and I found out before BIL had a chance to dispose of it. It’s a freaking scalpel, but needs cleaning every 100 rounds or so to prevent light strikes. Also, apparently being stored for a decade or so would up with whatever the iron oxide equivalent of galling is, ’cause the bluing came off at the points of contact during disassembly. Still pretty though.
It is galling that the rest of your family got the guns.
My mother is very old-Schule-Prussian. The does have the advantage that she treats her adult children with respect, and does not bring up their life choices which disappoint her.
That’s a shame.
I may have the opposite problem. Dad has too many guns for me to fit into my two-bedroom apartment. Mom isn’t going to keep them, and my brother won’t want any of them. The only solution may be to buy a bigger house…
Looks like we’re going to need a bigger boat….
Duh. And of course, you can build a vault room into it.
I have a homebuilder in my “serious” club I can put you in contact with…
You are welcome to store them at my house.
I’m closer and have an empty room.
Ahem, I think I’m closest.
But I applaud the outpouring of help for a fellow Glib from everyone else. We are a caring community.
It doesn’t need to be shot to be valuable, NA. Good that you have something of your Dad’s.
I have a sort of similar story, with a happy ending.
I know he had a slide action rifle like you showed (though I don’t remember what it as chambered in). There were also some exotic revolvers from no longer extant manufacturers. And a Colt Cloverleaf.
My grandfather sold his Sweet 16 because he thought it giving it to one of the grandkids would cause strife among the others. We wouldn’t have cared who had it, as long as it stayed in the family. We told him as much, too late.
I am the current custodian of my father’s Remington 11-48. Sadly, I look at the next generation, and I don’t know where that gun will go when my time is up.
Hope student loan holders weren’t waiting for that refund check!
“If you have $10,000 of debt and your federal tax refund is $3,000, the government can withhold that whole amount,” Sattelmeyer said. That is even while it is garnishing the borrower’s pay.

A more in depth article about the smart bricks. Interesting.
Here is my solution. Remove all electronics, dump bucket of Legos and Matchbox cars on floor, close door and presto! Kids playing together!
Yep
Even kids ‘detoxing’ from flashy lights and screens would begin to play. Through in dolls too.
OBE:
At the Free Comic Book Day festivities in the past, one of the big draws to the place we went was they set up a full children’s play area. All of their old action figures, toys, and the like. Very rarely did an adult need to step in.
OBE, the boy has little concept of what a video game is outside of the handful of times he’s gone to the arcade, his Lego boost, and our game room which is pinball, slots, and mechanical palicincho machines.
Kneeling the electronics out of the kids hands in the first place is step one.
We got the Lego Mario starter sets for the kids. They only have a handful of motorized toys now. These are their first interactive ones.
They make noise.
The app sucks.
Ditch the electrons Lego you can’t make that work outside of drive motors.
Boost sucked.
Lego Mario isn’t a game, it’s just a noisemaker.
The E brick is going to suck.
Have you forgotten the joy and wonder of Lego Mindstorms? Shame.
The Duplo trains are pretty sweet minus the app.
They could add a speed control brick as the app allowed you to slow the trains down and co trol the color of the lights. They have bricks that a color sensor pickups up to reverse, toot the horn, turn the lights on pause train and stop the train. But no light color or speed control bricks.
I didnt have any of the mindstorms stuff. I tried to buy some used stuff off of marketplace for the boy but ended up getting the boost instead.
The boost drive hub and the app kill its functionality. My kid thinks he’s programing but he’s just making the app make noise
This Greenland shit is fucking retarded. We managed to defend western Europe for 3/4ths of a century without annexing any NATO territory and the same could be done here with some additional security agreements with Denmark.
We can annex Greenland and western Canada and isolate Quebec from the rest of the world.
Quebec already isolates Quebec from the rest of the world.
And there’s a good chunk of BC we don’t want.
China practically owns that chunk of BC already – make it into the North American version of Hong Kong.
Look on the bright side. Denmark is ranting if it happens that it is the end of NATO.
We could only be so lucky.
That’s about the only potential plus. That being said, dicking over allies to whom we have treaty obligations via unprovoked invasion seems insane and stupid.
We shouldn’t take Greenland – we should take all of Denmark and enforce constitutional rights on the Danes. Can you imagine the EU’s reaction to a heavily armed free-speaking people on their border?
Typical one size fits all – Trump bluster is the usual answer.

That being said, dicking over allies to whom we have treaty obligations via unprovoked invasion seems insane and stupid.
Of course the Euros think Trump really is insane and stupid, so the military talk is most likely a negotiating tactic to motivate the Danes to do what he really wants, which is provide access and cooperation for vastly increased US security presence on Greenland.
Yup… juvenile bluster.
UCS that’s brilliant – take one of the countries that is refusing the EU immigration policy and fuck it over. Want to do Hungary next?
Wow, you’re super cranky today, JI.
What’s happened?
He learned it from you! :-p
Okay, JI, I’ve come up with a solution to the migration issue.
On annexation, we desgnate the pennensula and its surrounding islands as a tribal reservation for the native Danes, only native Danes are permitted to maintain residency or own land within the tribal reservation, and the native Danes are granted the level of self governance of any other conquered tribals.

While funny, I don’t think that would have made it past the gatekeeping teachers.
Nice. Silicondust borked my Android TV client for exactly the same reason. And now they are fighting with the certificate authority to get the device recertified.
Logitech caused its mice to freak out by not renewing a certificate
https://www.theverge.com/news/857377/logitech-macos-logi-options-mouse-certification-fix
A patch has now been released to fix the issue, which needs to be manually installed “because the certificate also affected the in‑app updater.”
My wired mice have never had certificate errors.
Huh. This hit me yesterday. My mouse literally stopped working properly and their garbage software would not even uninstall or install.
Oh Good Lord. That is horrible. I am using a Microsoft keyboard and mouse, thankfully.
Interesting that you couldn’t remove the application with the expired certification.
It shits files all over the system and there’s no proper uninstaller to find them all, it seems.
Considering the number of companies I’ve supported who have run into issues with certificate expirations, you’d think more people would set a damned calendar reminder for two months before it’s supposed to expire to get in front of it.
From their website:
Unreal. And yes, I lost my settings. This is inexcusable.
(Insert image of confused dog with tilted head) Me trying to understand the need for a certificate for a mouse. Or an app that’s required to operate a mouse that talks to the internet and uses certificates. Or an app period.
I literally plugged a new mouse and keyboard into an (at the time, not normally) air gaped Linux box and it just worked. No software to install, ‘app’ or otherwise. No cert verification/download/update. Reboot into windows 10 (only for certain games where the latency with Bottles or Wine is not acceptable) and it just works. No software install, no app. Now these weren’t logitech, but I have used logitech in the past, and never had to install software. Or an ‘app’ (I’m beginning, nay already do, hate that word).
What madness is this?
I’m assuming it’s a wireless mouse so that the dongle and the mouse need to verify that they are talking to the expected other endpoint.
Extra features and customization.
My example was wireless as well. I’ve never had to install software for a wireless mouse. Maybe, in the past, hold a button on the appliance until it blink-ies that it connected to the dongle, but never required network. Maybe more examples of hardware offloading its job to software, but even then, there’s absolutely no reason to require a ‘certificate’ or a network connection. If a damn mouse requires a network connection, I’m assuming you’re stealing shit from me and said mouse gets returned. If your hardware driver for a *mouse* requires constant updates, certs, etc, beyond an initial driver install that I can download separately and install if absolutely necessary, you suck as a hardware manufacturer and I’m not buying your crap.
Extra features and customization.
Put it in your driver.
This is clearly not a problem on the hardware side, just blocking code from running without a valid certificate. But that should really just be a one time thing. If you require your ‘app’ to be running continuously to use your hardware and your hardware is borked – even if just configuration – if the app is not running, your hardware and software is borked.
i.e. I can understand not being able to run the ‘app’ to initially install the drivers/configure if your OS is blocking unsigned code from running, but there’s just now way that should prevent your working hardware from… working! after any initial setup and/or configuration. A working mouse should not stop working just because you can’t run a piece of software.
The certificate is to prove the author of the software is who it says they are.
If the developer chooses to participate in that ceremony, they have to keep an updated certification for that.
The certificate is to prove the author of the software is who it says they are.
I understand that.
That should only be an issue at initial install or update time. And for an update, even if automatically applied if you’re comfortable with that, it should just prevent the update from happening. There’s no reason to break functional driver/hardware because your ‘app’ can’t auto-update itself. Hell, even if for some ungodly reason, the ‘app’ needs to be running for your mouse to work, it should still run after the initial install/cert check. Why the hell would it constantly check in online to verify a cert? If you want to require a cert to run software (valid reasons for that), it should be stored in a local cert store, not require constant check in to the mother ship. For a FREAKIN mouse.

“A West Virginia trans-identified male athlete at the center of a case that will be before the Supreme Court in January has been accused of sexually harassing girls in the locker room and using “intimidation tactics.” Over 130 Congressional Democrats have signed onto an amicus brief supporting the transgender athlete in the case against West Virginia’s law blocking males from women’s sports.
The mother of Adaleia Cross, who was on Bridgeport Middle School’s track team with the transgender athlete, told Fox News, “When Adaleia first told us, she told us that [the trans athlete] was telling her and other girls ‘suck my d*ck. [The trans athlete] was saying to her, coming up and saying to her, ‘I’m going to stick my d*ck in your p*ssy and also in your *ss.’ At different times [the trans athlete] was saying these things to her,” Abbey Cross, Adaleia’s mother said.”

Weird how I can’t recall a single case of a biological girl wanting to play in men’s sports.
There have been a handful of cases of girls wanting to wrestle on boys teams because girls wrestling teams didn’t exist.
But that’s kind of a corner case.
There’s been a couple of kickers in football, I think at least one college.
There was a lady wrestler at one of the tournaments I was at in high school.
Nobody wanted to wrestle her, not because she was an exceptional wrestler, but because a “high crotch” or even a “half nelson” puts you close to special lady bits in full view of every spectator. What if you sproing a boner during the match. And if she did beat you…
Mmmm. Kathy Ireland.
Nick:
My old business partner had a step son in wrestling. There were a couple gals in the conference and no one wanted to fight them for exactly those reasons. Mostly because they were terrified of what would happen if they lost.
Not one of my Democrat acquaintances supports males playing in girls sports. But their opposition to it is not enough to overcome their support for all the other things the Dems do to combat racism, inequality, hard-heartedness, and MAGA evil Republicanism.
I would think it would give them pause to consider the possibility that the Dems are wrong about literally everything.
Lots of us went through that discovery. It was refreshing.
“Two illegal immigrants from India, both issued commercial driver’s licenses by the State of California, were arrested in Indiana after authorities discovered more than 300 pounds of cocaine hidden inside the semi-truck they were operating.
The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced that ICE lodged arrest detainers on Jan. 4 for Gurpreet Singh, 25, and Jasveer Singh, 30, following their arrest by local authorities in Putnam County, Indiana on narcotics trafficking charges. During a routine truck inspection, law enforcement located 309 pounds of cocaine concealed inside the sleeper area of their truck. DHS said that amount represents an enormous threat, noting that with a lethal dose as low as 1.2 grams, the haul was enough to kill more than 113,000 Americans.”

I’d imagine that the majority of coke ODs are speedball artists – they’re shooting it, likely with heroin or some other downer to give the high some legs.
Pikers. Every shipment of fentanyl can kill 100 million Americans! Enough got through in 2025 that we all died four or five times. I guess the deaths still haven’t been recorded because they are still picking up the deaths from internet neutrality, unmasking for Covid , Y2K, and measles.

The local paper – that has covered for King Walz for decades – printed a story about how with Walz gone, the GOP candidate for gov shouldn’t focus on fraud anymore. They went out and interviewed local GOP rhinos to prove their point.
Are those guys retarded?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q74Ej1uEl6Q
You mean “are they so retarded that they will ignore the advice of the Strib?”
My prediction is that the Strib will start shilling for My Pillow Guy to get the GOP nomination soon. They would love for him to be the candidate because he’d be so easy to beat.
My Minnesota GOP ad. A series of angry looking men and women of all races (even a Somalian!) look at the camera in front of buses and vehicles in the early morning. “I have to get up everyday at 530am, get my kids fed and out to school and then go out in the cold to drive to work for 8 hours. When I get home I have enough time to cook dinner and ask the kids about their day before shortly falling asleep exhausted. Tomorrow I do it again. I do it because I have to pay taxes (cut to Walz) so that Democrats can give them away to other people (cut to Learing Center and scenes of Al Shabab training) some of whom bring it to other countries to fund terrorists. Thank you Democrats for using my hard earned dollars so that you can gain votes”. Cut to various Dems laughing uncontrollably.
Maybe mention how just a few years ago we had a $17B surplus. Now we have a projected deficit for the next legislative session which will mean that we need to raise taxes again (don’t be silly, cutting spending is off the table).
All thanks to Walz and his DFL buddies blowing it all on recurring expenses.
Brazen thievery
“Every government bending the knee to Trump today must be made to answer the question, how much tax revenue did the US bully you into giving up? If you’re not going to stand up for your people, at least be honest with them about how much you’re giving up. And if governments actually opposed this cave-in at the OECD, they should be shouting about it today.
“US multinational corporations today are shifting twice as much profit out of foreign countries and into the US as they were in 2016, when work at the OECD leading today’s deal first began. US multinationals are now responsible for just under a third of all countries’ losses to corporate tax abuse.
“Not only that, but the American people themselves lose the most to tax cheating by US firms. That’s right – this great victory for Trump will cost his own people the most.
How can it be that corporations are allowed to cling so tenaciously to the wealth they create. That goose won’t cook itself.

NEW: Lawsuit has been filed against H-E-B after a semi-truck crash k*lled four women in a Nissan Altima that was driving slowly due to a flat tire
https://x.com/unlimited_ls/status/2008614776897929663
Some comments say it is not the trucks fault because the car was driving slow. In romania it would always be 100% the truck fault or any car that rams another from behind. It is the drivers job to see slow traffic ahead and break in time, highway or not.
AFAIK, “The car behind is at fault” is the law everywhere in the US but I dunno how that works if there are minimum posted speeds.
Learn to change your tire?
Of course it was an Altima…
Generally the same here.
Naturally, you have an ALTIMA thinking that it can simply drive the left lane on with hazards and flat and and that’s perfectly OK.
Still that is the truck’s fault.
Brutal.
…this time the real talks on tax reform are happening at the UN, where the US has been absent. The most recent round of negotiations on a world-first UN tax convention last November put to debate the 100-year-old cornerstone of the global tax system. Countries already committed in the lead up to the negotiations to replace the cornerstone with a modern basis, but November’s talks made it clear that there is wide support in the UN to go far beyond what the OECD ever could on this. The little opposition remaining mostly came from OECD countries who have today forfeited their tax rights to Trump.
The UN will now set and collect global taxes.
*guffaws, slaps knee*
Who could possibly object to that?
Time to expel the UN from US soil.

You could have skipped that long quote and just said Cash for Clunkers.
My neighbors did that. They were barely squeaking by and then traded in their older functional car for a brand new truck because of $4Clunkers. Imagine our surprise to find out that money got even tighter for them after that.
Home schooling skyrockets in Minnesoda!
Think of how lucky you’d feel to find out that King Walz was your kid’s new teacher. Think of the fun parent/teacher conferences! And a winning football program.
I’m sort of surprised at how quickly the local proggie web site has turned on Walz. A week ago they were defending him to the gills. Now they are running stories about his failures. This story is mostly about him not taking questions after he announced that he wasn’t running. How dare he not make their lives easy!
Next week they will probably tear into the Shirley kid after he gets an interview with Walz using the sleazy tactic of walking over to the Gov’s office and asking to speak with him.
