My email is suddenly unreadable. I was CC to a contractor’s correspondence with one of my direct reports. I am now on email 12 of 30, sent via secure means from some hospital in Wisconsin because we had to move to the full file review after they failed the probe sample…

Things are looking up.

El Presidenté Mujer found herself in something of a scandal with Cuban made drugs. I’m not talking about cocaine or heroin, regular drugs.
Cuba releases 2000 from their prisons amid pressure from the US.
Yeah, I’ll let someone else beta test that.
Brazil allows joint custody of pets. Frankly I like this move, because I’m tired of the expectation the ex-girlfriend always getting the dog.
The big news this week? Chile formally recognizes Argentina’s claim to the Malvinas. What is that you ask? You might better know them as the Falkland Islands.
Here’s a Thatcher Era tune, have a great Tuesday!

Is that why the Boomers in border states are able to go to Mexico once a month and buy medications at half price?
The Falklands voted to remain British because the alternative was ti be taken over by Argentine commies. Now they are run by British commies. How times change.
Argentina might be more attractive these days – whodathunkit?
Live footage.
Heh.
I was thinking about an episode of Big Bang Theory but that was way better.
First, the Glibs logs me out every night, and now YouTube wants me to sign in.
Clearly this is the work of the devil.
Was hoping for that classic scene from Evil Dead II: Dead Before Dawn.
Dr. Strangelove had one of those prosthetic arms.
I read it was all criminals, no political prisoners. Who knows?
Mariel Boatlift 2: Electric Boogaloo?
Cuba doesn’t have electricity.

ElectricBanana Boogaloo?Is that better?
Camel’s nose under the tent for the animal rights loons. Legally speaking, animals should be property. You divide property in a divorce or other dispute, you don’t set up revolving custodians for it.
Cut them in half, Solomon – style.
It is ridiculous. Shuttling back and forth from one to the other can’t be any better for animals than it is for children.
Which Falkland islands you talking about?
The GIF is always a jump scare when I open Glibs in class.
Are we about to get another round of (post) punk outfits blathering about the Falklands?
I could see Fontaines D.C. taking a crack at it.
On the topic of music, every man, woman, and child in this community should jump on the Angine de Poitrine bandwagon. 2nd album just dropped on the 3rd and they apparently went viral a few months ago for a KEXP clinic they put on.
I’ve seen their photos pop up on FB. No idea why I should give a damn about them.
Prog/Math dorks rise up! You have nothing to lose but your cringe!
Cue up Don McMillan . . .
I am a geek, not a dork.
I will have a listen. I see they are Canadian. Is YouTube gonna send me a tariff bill?
Their live performances are impressive since it’s just two dudes, and the guitarist/bassist uses loop pedals to alternate between some pretty amazing basslines and microtonal guitar. And I guess they found a shtick by dressing up like clowns (as if there’s never been a French mime before). I just like the sounds they make for my ear holes. It’s like if The Bulletproof Tiger got sober, went to art school, and threw on a microtonal fretboard.
I know none of these things, because I am old. I marked them for listening.
I don’t not like it. It is interesting music. I don’t care for the papier mache/dress up stuff.
Thanks for broadening my earholes.
Rick Beato had some nice things to say about the band.
Comments are amusing.
Trump does love his jets.

Well to be fair, according to a lot of federal judges, Trump can’t stop spending money unless congress explicitly gives him permission to do so.
Suck it, Vini.
The world’s biggest pussy – he has all of Mpabbe’s talent and none of the brains or heart.
Has Mad King Donald neutron-bombed the middle east yet?
i’ve got my fingers crossed.
In Too Local News, California Man loses immigration case. Entered US illegally in 1996, got caught and was deported. Came again in 1997, didn’t get caught. Convicted of a DUI in 2002. Ordered to be deported in 2014, but never left, because deportation orders are voluntary apparently. Finally got deported in 2025. But people will probably still complain he didn’t get his due process. https://www.eastbaytimes.com/2026/04/06/deported-livermore-man-ruling/
It’s hard to get one’s head around the fact that at least 3 people felt passionately enough about keeping that guy and others like him in the United States that they dipped out from their job to go confront immigration enforcement agents in the streets and made enough stupid decisions thereafter to end up shot dead.
Three? Did I miss one?
Ahh, the third one I was thinking of didn’t result in a death, apparently.
“Livermore father”

By protection mean…
The Education Department said Monday it has terminated agreements with five school districts and a college aimed at upholding protections for transgender students, backing away from requirements negotiated by previous administrations that took a different interpretation of civil rights.
The decision removes the federal obligations for the schools to keep up measures such as faculty training on abiding by a students’ preferred name and pronouns and allowing students to use bathrooms that align with their gender identity.
We need as many artificially fabricated subsets of the population as possible. For unity.
Bonus points for encouraging more gender confusion. Your nearest psychiatrist thanks you for your business.

Except for white men; there will be no subdividing the general evil of that class.
Since the day he returned to the White House more than a year ago, Trump and his administration have aimed at the rights of transgender people in several ways — and not just in schools.
He has tried to end participation of transgender women and girls in women’s and girls’ sports competitions and has sued states that don’t comply. He’s also blocked transgender and nonbinary people from choosing the sex markers on passports. His administration has also tried to stop those under 19 from receiving gender-affirming medical care.
He is uniquely, grotesquely evil.
So is the 80% of the American public who are not in favor of chicks with dicks beating up bio-girls.
I don’t know why some people have a hard time understanding that sports divisions are for biological sex and not gender. It’s like sex and gender are different when it’s convenient and they are the same when it’s convenient.
