Of course, Turdpress® decided to wait until WebDom went back to work to shit all over our site. We are actively working on the weirdness as much as possible. Please bear with the mess of hobbyists fighting a gigantic multibillion dollar piece of shit. Uh, what’s going on my people? The wife is visiting her friends and old stomping grounds in North Florida (and no, I’m not using that euphemistically for South Georgia), and then going to watch the Wilson sisters. I’m not jealous. Totally not jealous. In the meantime, I’m teaching the boys manly things like sitting around in our underwear, grazing rather than eating defined meals, and waiting until the last minute to pick up anything. Let’s see what’s going on in linkable land….
Hmm. This always seemed a little sketchy, now come to find out a young lady who set herself on fire had an affair with her elected boss. Way too hot to need to set herself on fire. What a tragedy.
America’s Generals shouldn’t face political loyalty tests, leftists shout. Any general who can’t polish the knob of the politico in front of him in today’s military got there by accident. I remember my father’s uncle, who got his commission by staying on with the European Army of Occupation after the Deuce telling me he retired in 1962 as a lieutenant colonel because he knew who was ahead of him, and even though enough of those guys would’ve retired he could probably make brigadier, Vietnam was gonna be a disaster he didn’t want any part of. So its always been political.
I guess this guy thought there was an alternate path to citizenship through demonstrating his cultural understanding of Florida Man. We got enough of our own, buddy.

Nothing like a little UFO — which I only know of because one of my childhood memories from the ’70s was watching Space: 1999 and all….
And I’m just happy the links are readable… go WebDom / Tonio / whomever else got yoinked into this… appreciate the efforts.
Aha! I was wondering if that was UFO.
Space: 1999 is on Pluto now which delights me. Of course I have them all on DVD but I hate fiddling with discs anymore.
Keep your discs. I have stuff I never want to lose in physical media.
Rocky and Bullwinkle, for example. Due to a copyright troll, it was pulled from TV, cable, streaming, everywhere. I got A DVD set of the whole run for $25 on eBay.
You know you can rip those to alternate (and now AI price inflated) media…

Although a handful of existing holdings were added to during Buffett’s final quarter, the purchase that really stands out is The New York Times Co. (
NYT+1.55%). Berkshire’s 13F shows 5,065,744 shares were scooped up, worth nearly $352 million on Dec. 31.
Warren Buffett has long been a fan of brand-name companies that have built consumer trust. The New York Times brand, coupled with its modest dividend and steady stream of share buybacks, laid a solid foundation.
I wouldn’t touch it.

The Midnight Special was a great show.
Also an interesting look at cultural change. Notice on the MS the crowd is within reaching distance of the performers yet no one touches them.
I wonder what would happen if they did that today
The annual selection of brigadier generals in the U.S. Army is one of the most deliberate and disciplined personnel processes in the service. The Army does not promote to general officer rank casually; it promotes because the institution trusts them with strategic leadership of the force and the lives of the nation’s sons and daughters.
Now you’re just making shit up.
Probably have ten times the number that the military actually needs.
Easily.
Same with e5 and up.
Yeah, I saw a performance by the U.S. Army band: everyone of the musicians was a sargeant.

She’s also a tragic example of what happens when you *actually* cross the Hot and Crazy streams. Damn. Crazy sure does win. (It do be like that.)
Oh. I assumed the aid once had purple hair, after I looked her up. Purple hair up top? She can twiddle my phaser to whatever might please her.

Ski guides slammed after deadly Lake Tahoe avalanche: ‘Leading people to their deaths’
I know nothing about western snows or how storms there develop, so no comment.
Ive been there many times, you Don’t go off trail or you will die, pretty simple.
It was pissing down rain here all day yesterday, which means it was dumping snow up there. It was a bad day to go out in those conditions, even without the avalanche danger.
OK, according to the story I just read, “They had been staying at the Frog Lake huts since February 15. The group was in the process of returning to the trail head at the conclusion of a three-day trip when the incident occurred”. So it’s not like they left civilization to go out to the backcountry. They were in the backcountry and trying to get back to civilization. I’m guessing they didn’t have food to hunker down and didn’t want to end up like the Donner Party, but maybe they should have left before the weather turned really bad. It’s not like this big storm wasn’t forecasted.

TPTB: links open in the same tab in Firefox on Android as opposed to in a new tab like previously.
/waits for autistic screeching from the commentariat about using the wrong browser
But the site is now faster and looks better.
Font is smaller on my end. Not sure if that’s my phone or the site.
Not opening links in new tabs anymore either.
I’m using safari on the iPhone.
Pertinent information.
Does the same for me on yahoo and likely google.
Firefox on Widows does not have this issue. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Interesting. Brave sure does open in the same window on Windows or iPhone. I went in and set all the links in this weeks’ GlibFlick manually to open a new window. Let’s see if it works.
Also: I think Firefox has a setting to force a new window for any and all websites. Chrome based Brave oddly does not.
Same here. Brave, Linux, desktop.
Also, no highlighting of new comments.
Also same, Brave on MacOS. And no highlighting.
And, of course, instead of laughing and saying, “Well, that’s what you get for being stupid” the back country rescue teams rushed out to look for them.
It seems crazy to me that in this tournament there is no way to challenge/correct an error like this. I don’t know how all 3 officials on the ice missed that, hell there were 6 blue helmets taking part in the post-goal celebration!

Well. I’m apparently still on Medicaid. I tried to get docs saying I *wasn’t* eligible anymore, with my ’25 Walmart $$. By my measure, I was quite over the threshold. I’m gonna say: I happily accept the handout. They’ve been quite good to me, frankly. Granted, I’m in affluency land, with services not overrun like they’d be ’round 32nd and Post, etc.
I suppose that means I can cancel my marketplace accounts. That’ll save me substantial money, though I get a ~$470 Federal discount. Mighty curious. That’ll save nearly 25% of my monthly income. I strongly approve.
I’ve frequently, exasperatingly, had to explain to folk that I can be, am, against policies that personally benefit me. No avail’s been found, on that front.
SSA is still dumping $3K a month into my checking account even though I went back to work full time in June and told them so.
The company that my employer hired to assist me with this stuff (because no mortal can expect to interact with the SSA and retain their sanity) told me, no biggie. That’s just “in case you go back on disability”. But… “don’t spend it, because you’ll probably have to pay it all back”.
I have no idea what I’m supposed to do at tax time.
Craziest, most predictable news for me? Mamdani’s allowing mosques and everywhere to loudly proclaim their Allah chant at 5am. Before, they’d been given permission during Ramadan and some other occasion. Now it’s every day!
Given these colonizers’ violent proclivities, I wonder how such an inclusive city, society, will adapt to their new neighbors who they *really* best be polite to. Ya know. To keep living.
I hate to say they deserve it. They don’t. But they really, really. Kinda do.
I heard it was 3 mosques only. No idea, really.
But it’s not like the city responds to any other noise complaint so sorry, New Yorkers. Deal with it.

“Your mitt looks like a boa constrictor unhinged its jaw in an effort to consume a combat submarine.”
Modern political discourse has devolved into two groups of normie assholes who think they’ve crossed over from being normies in the first place because of social media arguing over which side of the aisle consists of pedophiles.
I have called the whole Epstein thing we are seeing play out a form of a psyop. The original point of the scandal is lost. The questions of who Epstein worked for are lost (for the skeptical here, whether he worked for anyone at all, I suppose). Whether there was blackmail material is lost. It’s now just a big gotcha game with so much useless information thrown out there with whatever may be real and relevant being drowned out by the noise.
I pointed out months back before the whole kerfuffle on social media broke out over whether he was technically a pedophile that no…he wasn’t in the technical sense. Making this exclusively about the victims or even the particular assholes accused is almost besides the point of why this was a scandal in the first place and I don’t care if that sounds callus. The people who original raised questions are a blip on the radar screen now. You couldn’t have managed to smear and damage MAGA and to undermine those sorts of dangerous questions more than if you had tried (looking at Massie who I can’t help but think was a useful idiot at best in all this, a compromised asset at worst).
The morons latching on this now, the delusional normies who don’t even realize they are the fucking manipulated normies, don’t even bother to ask themselves what sort of bumbling and decayed ruling class we currently have as a whole. It’s how many of the other side they can tie to this as if there’s someone keeping score and they’ll win if more of the other side end up being labeled as pedos than the other.
It is true that Epstein had a thing for girls. That he used them for his own gains sexual and otherwise with a group of powerful men. It is true that some portion of them were underage. We don’t know exactly how young they went, but they seem to have been old enough to say not a pedophile. It’s an irrelevant point and a distraction to argue this (I saw Elizabeth Nolan Brown linking to some cosmotarian trying to claim this is all about shaming people for age gaps in relationships which is one of the more clownish takes I’ve seen). He has some kernel of a point that this is becoming a scandal for the wrong reasons and a moral panic of sorts, but that’s it. Twitter/X has that stupid character limit and I couldn’t yell this at him in few enough words so I’m here to take it out on you seconding sons a bitches instead.
Epstein was an intelligence asset. Epstein was known to our intelligence agencies, potentially even working with them at times or entirely but definitely working for someone. Yes, it may have been (((them))). Episein was a tool used to compromise our corrupt, incompetent, feckless ruling class even more than they already are from being corrupt, incompetent, and feckless in the first place. It doesn’t matter which side had the most pedos. It doesn’t matter if one specific person was involved at this point. It’s about that overall picture. And he’s really just the tip of the iceberg probably in showing us how and why shit gets done in DC. It aint about principles for most of these people. You may say duh, I already knew that. But you didn’t really have the evidence showing you that it’s not just a lack of principle, but the fact that these people in power are manipulated and controlled to play their part in a giant machine the purpose of which is to dominate us peasants.
On a deeper level? It reinforces and should prove that morality, ethics, and even laws are just tools to be used on little peop le and when used on the big people it’s often times just because they’ve outlived their usefulness.
It’s a big club of sick, empty fucks and you aint in it. They aint looking out for you. It’s an abyss of depravity with a bunch of vultures looking to get theirs whatever that may be.
There are people on here who think they don’t trust government, but who dismiss the idea of what I’m saying here. The idea of a conspiracy. Not because there isn’t evidence (this isn’t a court of law, so spare me arguments on whether there’s definitive proof), but because there’s an element of smugness and inconvenient aspects to this story for some people who have certain narratives they cling to. I can elaborate on those points, but I’m not here to attack the people here. Some may just have healthy skepticism, but some don’t. They’re just dismissive while pretending to be skeptics.
Regardless, none of this theater is going to go anywhere. Shit will continue to be “revealed.” A lot of sound and fury will result for 5 seconds and then people will move onto the next piece of gossip with no progress of any kind being made as they get more focused on the details than the bigger picture.
Saying that Epstein wasn’t technically a pedophile is a good way to rile up the obnoxiously political people at work. I’ve followed that point up by saying that when Trump and Epstein were hanging out, they were both Democrats. Shockingly, I don’t make friends.
I’ll play Devil’s Advocate wrt Massie: He’s trying to exercise Congressional Oversight over the Executive Branch, more or less successfully. In doing so, he is drawing heat from both parties.
Narrative is that Massie is a maverick doing what he thinks is right.
Maybe he is. I don’t object to him bucking Trump. I just question whether he was really acting so righteously. I don’t think it’s that crazy to suggest that any number of these congress critters could be compromised by any number of things they’ve done behind the scenes. The end result is the same regardless.
Good lord, I would never bring any of this stuff up at work.
But yeah, it’s pretty clear that everyone is burying something. Supposedly Congress has all the unredacted pages now, don’t they? So why aren’t they telling us what’s there? Because it’s too explosive, would be my guess.
Rhy: It’s self defense. I never initiate. My other response is to turn my back and walk away.
Money hole
Just two days earlier, President Donald Trump had slammed the project as a “future boondoggle,” claiming in a Truth Social post that it will cost “many BILLIONS OF DOLLARS more than projected or anticipated.”
——-
“I am thrilled that hardworking New Yorkers can now get back on the job and move forward with the most important infrastructure project in the country,” James said in a press release. “We will remain vigilant to ensure this funding continues uninterrupted, so that workers and commuters are never again left in limbo by the president’s targeted and unlawful whims.”
Most important infrastructure project in the country. Haha, good one.
That isn’t even a rounding error on the total cost of this project. Why is everybody arguing over such a tiny amount?
Because they keep stopping and restarting the work. And naturally the states don’t want to advance the funds.
This way both sides can make political points while increasing the ultimate cost.
OMG. We are all going to die!!!
Hazardous substances found in all headphones tested by ToxFREE project
So you’re saying I shouldn’t eat my headphones?
Or use them as a drink container.
I’m not sure how quality that study was. Maybe if OMWC stumbles on this he will have an opinion.
On a long enough timeline, everyone is going to get cancer. If you don’t die from sharks or vicious pitbull puppy attacks, you are going to get cancer as your body seeks to destroy itself at some point. It’s not because The Great Firster is cruel, but because He is merciful that this happens.
I can look at a name like ToxFREE and assume that the people behind it are dumb cunts selling shit to the sort of clowns who think crystals they buy at the Mall heal them.
On the subject of Tony Gonzales, the Congress critter and not the pass catching TE (double entendre there if you catch my drift). I have noticed this trend for a long time now where fairly attractive to ridiculously gorgeous Hispanic women seem drawn to the most mediocre of Hispanic dudes. When I was in the Army, I had several NCO’s who were not attractive fellows. Short, pudgy, in one case a Mario and Luigi-esque mustache ec. And these were NCO’s in the Army. They have a certain level of perks as far as commoners go in terms of healthcare and job stability, but they aren’t wealthy guys. But they had fairly attractive wives. And the Hispanic wives i know tend to be more loyal than the others. Seem to be to me as an outsider/white guy I guess.
Also, young white girls in general may have the absolute worst taste in men period.
Gonzales is not an attractive man, but he had some smoking hot staff member willing to have an affair with him and then set herself on fire over it. The more I think about that, the more ridiculous is sounds. Not the female sleeping with a relatively powerful male boss part. The part where the 35 year old female with a 8 year old child would set herself on fire to off herself in the first place.
Yes on the attraction to power and same to her reaction.
So it’s not like they left civilization to go out to the backcountry. They were in the backcountry and trying to get back to civilization.
That makes a little more sense.
Also, reading an Elizabeth Nolan Brown article and this caught my eye:
Who can spot the issue here in what this little toad is saying about a sex sting operation they were running in Minnesota? The one that caught the ICE background checker supposedly looking for underage hookups.
So the dudes going for underage sex didn’t want to accidentally run into immigration enforcement for some reason? I can’t imagine why.
slummy, I seem to be running Monocle 4.4.1. Can you tell me how to find the 4.5.2 you mentioned in the ded thread?

I think the only thing I’m not getting is the scroll to my most recent comment upon refresh. Don’t know if that’s WP or Monocle, but a tiny, tiny price to pay. Thanks to all for your efforts! I’m very grateful! 😊
I think that is a WP thing and I love that it’s not doing that. The site is so much snappier without it scroll, scroll, scrolling every time I post a comment.
It wasn’t me.

It was probably me and all my post pictures.

DAMMIT. I’ve misplaced my phone in the house. Took the puppy out and was listening to Rogan, came back and reordered a few things, and after a few fairly deep searches in the house, I no longer have any idea where it was. Pissy part, is when I didn’t need that nap, I turned off my 830 and 845 alarms. Those woulda been nice about now.
