It’s playoff hockey time. So grow out those beards. The Sabres are back in the playoffs for the first time in forever, and they started with an epic comeback to take game 1 against the Bruins. The Canadiens are up 1-0 against Tampa Bay. Colorado are up 1-0, as are the MINNESOTA WIIIIIIIIIIILD. I just want to see an American team hoist the cup. The NBA started their playoffs as well. The NFL draft is almost here. The Astros still suck. And across the pond, Arsenal completed the bottle job with a few weeks to go and now do not control their own destiny, while Spurs are still in the drop zone and if West Ham win today, they’ll be ringing alarm bells all across north London. And that’s it for sports.
What’s that dog who was elected mayor in a California town doing? This is a job he’d be fit for. Oh wait, he’s American and they can’t have that.
I honestly don’t know how to stop this. It’s the benefit of setting up an LLC and it generally works. I guess they could always just pull all the non-domiciled CDLs of illegal aliens and see if that solves a lot of the problem. (Newsflash: it will.)
They’ll just raise taxes and call the departed selfish. And voters there will eat it up.
I don’t know who they’ll blame for this boondoggle. But I’m sure they won’t put an end to it. They’ll just keep burning through the money.
“Furious backlash,” lol. Grow up, people. Jokes are still allowed. And this one was both harmless and actually pretty clever.
I hope he does sue them. Just for the comedy of the whole thing. If it’s a lie, he’ll bankrupt a trash media company. And if it’s true, the trial will be hilarious.
The test strips might be a good idea. But why force bars to have them? Why not just encourage people buy and use them themselves?
OK, go create ties with somebody else. Have fun with that. They’ll only be an ocean away in either direction.
Let’s start with the premise being wrong and go from there. What a load of bullshit this is.
I still don’t understand how these judges are getting these cases. They have no jurisdiction and always end up losing eventually. They know it. ICE knows it. Everybody knows it. But they’re gonna keep doing what they’re doing because they they don’t care about the law and separation of powers.
Here’s a catchy tune. They had a few of them. And here’s another. Enjoy them both.
And enjoy this lovely Monday, dear friends.
I am suing this community for using my likeness on the post!!
The government cannot “crack down” because that would imply being mean to the illegal aliens the article takes forever to even mention.
“Theyâll just raise taxes and call the departed selfish. And voters there will eat it up.”
People that make a living from fleecing the productive angry the productive do not want to be fleeced! News at 10!!
I know politicians are idiots and evil, but doesn’t an alarm bell go off when Charles fucking Schwab packs its bags?
whaddup dohâ
How are you faring?
“I hope he does sue them. Just for the comedy of the whole thing. If itâs a lie, heâll bankrupt a trash media company. And if itâs true, the trial will be hilarious.”
The left consistently and constantly uses the cost of the legal system to punish anyone that they don’t like, so reciprocation is warranted. And in this case, the Atlantic going broke would be a freaking just reward,
“OK, go create ties with somebody else. Have fun with that. Theyâll only be an ocean away in either direction.”
Didn’t these fucks just have to pass some legal measure to prevent young productive people fleeing that shithole to the north for the US?
Proposed, not passed.
I’d imagine they calculated the remittances and decided to not go forward with it.
They may need to build a wall…
lol Adams duh. Everything is Adams fault even if progressive hero DeBlasio started it.
Blaming the black man? Ain’t that some shit.
Traitor to his race – probably what Z actually thinks.

I don’t know if the “furious backlash” is real or just ginned up for clicks. I suspect the latter.
But yeah, this is a perfect example of click-bait horseshit and I will not waste any more attention on it.
Now I feel bad for posting it.
Now, now, it isn’t like it was a NY Post story.

Nah, you’re excused.

Never apologize, it affects the Glibs Code of Conduct and not in a good way.
I didn’t really feel bad.

Furious backlash now means 7 accounts on X posted nasty comments or 4 aging lefties tried to recapture their youth protesting Viet Nam by standing around looking confused on a street corner.
I’m not a leftie!

Careful Fourscore, someone will come by and hand you a sign about imaginary monarchs.
It’s Boston. You’re off by a few orders of magnitude on the aging lefties.

Well, he is a carny…
It is a naked attempt to extract dollars from the United States so by that measure, it is another day ending in Y.
My friend plays in an R.E.M. tribute band named Dead Letter Office . I have not yet seen them perform live (this summer is the plan) but they sound incredible. And although I am located in Canada my friend/the band is not and they tour all across the USA.
Here is a clip of Peter Buck joining them onstage

Driver 8 is just gorgeous: you can practically smell the kudzu.
Every hockey team I wanted to win did! That Sabres game was nuts! Some of the most exciting 5min I’ve seen in the 3rd Period. Wowza.
And speaking of, uh. Did anyone else catch that Mets@Cubs game? *That* was exciting, tight baseball.
At work in my Hobbit hole! (Hobbits are pudgy and easily amused. Just blow smoke rings at ’em & the front hole will open, Ted S.)
Oddly exciting to do something I’m actually well-trained for through a decade of experience. They don’t score the way I would, but there are fun(ny) essays to read. Should be training most of this week, or at least the next few days.
Onward and up, fellow glibtacular folk.
I just want to see an American team hoist the cup.
Hear, hear!
Not out of any sort of jingoism but the Canadian butthurt over the ongoing Canadian cup drought is hilarious.
(Apologies to our Canadian Glibs – it’s not you, it’s the very online Canadian hockey fans I’m thinking of)
Canada’s #1 national sport is ice hockey.
Canada’s #2 national sport is America-bashing.
Ted S.:
What happened to curling?
Curling is a practical joke that got out of hand.
I always liked American hockey people more than Canadian hockey people because of an effect that probably stems from being a smaller minority. I found that in the U.S. while some other fan or player might hate your team there is still some feeling of camaraderie between you because both of you like/play hockey. Up here almost everyone at least pretends to like hockey and it seems like it breeds a lot of competitiveness, “I care more than you!”, “I know more than you!”, “I play better than you!” etc.
I need to get out to a “Stick& Puck” session and begin the process of playing seriously again. I should do that one afternoon this week. But probably not on 4/20 LOL
It was swept away
Intra-Canadian hockey fandom is pretty vicious, AFAICT. Get some Leafs fans talking about the Habs or the Oilers…
It seems like everybody’s got something. College football in the USA seems pretty similar (although I suppose that more of the fan base has some loose “connection” to the team/school I’m not sure that really makes it “better”).
You donât look at the front organization, you look at the ownership and control structure until you find the actual people running and profiting from it. Ban the people from being in the business and jail them if they try. The SEC and CMS both do this in the securities and health care businesses, respectively.
That would require specific legislation, I’d imagine.
Not necessarily (maybe; not sure). If the front company can be banned, then the penalty can be extended (ordinarily) to the people who control it.
I’d think they’d have to legislate to take personal protection away from a venture, although it should be easy and sellable to the public if it’s due to persistent safety violations.
Seems like there are some things that could be done. Require a physical (non-PO box) mailing address: spend 30 seconds on google maps street view and see if the listed address exists and passes a smell test (is it a vacant lot? derelict house?). Make sure the provided email address doesn’t bounce, and email them a captcha and require a correct reply, to prove (-ish) a live body is responding.
Thanks to PATRIOT, you already need a physical address where somebody named can be served. You can also have a PO as a mailing address, but not w/out a physical address. But yeah, as you state, how many physical addresses are run out of vacant lots and how many other LLCs listed under those same vacant lots? It would seem like you should be able to shut down or freeze a LLC doing business that way as it stands.
From what Iâve seen, the âPatel is a drunkâ story is 100% anonymously sourced. People who are in a position to know have said itâs all bullshit, and put their names on it. The thing is, if youâre a drunk, you are highly unlikely to be one only after 10:00 pm. And I donât recall any video of Patel looking sloshed, unlike some politicians.
Could it be true? Sure. Thatâs not the way to bet, though.
It would be great fun to see them beg absence of malice.
Anyone on Trump’s payroll has a plausible explanation for drinking/drunking. It has to be tough to change one’s position 2-3 times a day.
Good morning everyone!
Responding to weekend comments:
Renfaire culture – I haven’t been deeply involved since 2011 so things may have changed. While there were many similarities, each faire had a remarkably different culture. The people that worked them had an unremarkably carnie-esque life, but just to comment on three that I know well (my credentials are working far too many of these over a decade, including a six month full time circuit when I couldn’t find a real job):
Tuxedo RenFest (Tuxedo NY) – Tiny little thing with delusions of importance. Patrons are assholes. Ungarbed patrons will mock garbed ones, the queues for the food vendors will be perpendicular to the venue regardless of how said queue will interfere with traffic or the rest of the layout.
Scarborough Faire (Waxahachie TX) – Mid-sized fair with a unique culture in that it actively has an ongoing social scene. I am assuming this is because it’s only an hour away from the DFW metroplex AND it has season tickets. Therefore patrons interact with each other and the cast with regularity over the six-week run and subsequent years and care about their reputations. Far more modesty than the next one in the list.
Texas Renaissance Festival (Todd Mission TX) – The Biggie, always in the running (and often winning the title of) the largest. Well set up with new and creative ways to get patron bux. Last time I went they had legitimately good cocktail bars added to the lineup. Because it’s expensive, the patrons are in the mood for a one-and-done party blowout. Usually just slutting it up in the chainmail bikinis during actual fair hours, the afterparties upon closing after the significant fireworks display are notorious. Unlike Scarbie supra, there is a true “anything goes” vibe with a main cast but also an official “alt cast” who go the pop-culture/comic book/movie flavor of the year route. If you want people in period-authentic clothing, go to Scarbie. If you want imperial Stormtroopers with kilts on
over their armor, TRF is for you.
Oklahoma Renaissance Festival (Muskogee OK) – Most renfests are built in wooded areas. ORF has a single building that houses it (the Castle at Muskogee https://okcastle.com/) which gives it a different vibe, and for those non-climate-controlled areas the organizers care more about the brutal OK summers than do the Texans for some reason. Closest to the vibe of TRF, the main difference here is that the Patrons are (or at least were) the kind of people raised on “MYOB” principle which means they are the polar opposite of the assholes from Tux. The okies might be assholes in private, but in public they do not start shit. Which means (for example) that you will see more gender non-conformity in the Castle. Even at TRF, there are enough buzzed fundies to vocally condemn sinners which puts a damper on truly excessive public nudity, but also that the male member of a bellydancing troupe will be dressed in different, “I am not a homo” outfits whereas in Muskogee you will see dudes in the harem pants/veils etc. Likewise, there will be actual unironic male fairies whereas the only ones I’ve seen at TX faires have obviously been playing it as a comic role (usually with the comically oversized fake cigar etc.)
Texas Ren Fest is so much fun. We love it and will drag the kids there every year. And it is a sprawling facility.
I just wish they used it for more things throughout the year since it’s only 20 minutes or so from here.
There are (or were, pre-covid) year-round events. “The Merchant Prince” (Charles Prince) is very proactive about making money. They had a masquerade in the winter and some holiday stuff IIRC. I went there at least once a season for more than 20 years. It is like home to me.
The one in Waxahatchie is amazing, and it also gets used as a Halloween haunted property. Or it did. The guy who ran the Halloween portion died, and it turned into âRen Faire Halloween.â That is not ideal.
It would make a great Christmas village too, if somebody made the props.
What cocktails were there during the Renaissance?
The kind that filled up big cod pieces?
The edgy gothic themed one was mostly absinthe cocktails, The New World one was tequila dominant, I don’t know about the rest.
Nog counts, I think?
Tuxedo RenFest (Tuxedo NY) â Tiny little thing with delusions of importance.
That used to be a huge event. I had some friends that went there regularly in the late 90s and early 00s. They drug me along once. I think we went in 2000? It was raining off and on that day. I remember lots of people, but it was obvious the facilities were not even close to capacity. My friends said they’ve been there in good weather when the place was packed. Some of my friends in the group were dressed up. The rest, including me, were not. I remember most, but not all, people at the Faire being friendly.
It was, if I remember correctly, the 2010s when that event went downhill.
I’ve been to King Richard’s Faire in Carver, MA a few times around 2000, 2001. Decent sized crowds. Good times. Decent food.
I worked there… 2005ish? It has space for additional venues be there with that I walked the whole thing in less than two hours. Far and away the smallest faire I’ve ever been to.
Also far and away the highest rate of mental defects among the patrons. I honestly did not want to sell to some of our customers becasue they were obviously retarded or deranged. There are a lot of “dumb customer” jokes and almost all of them came from Tux.
Too be fair, these common-to-Tux statements (that I heard with my own earholes) actually do make sense if you interpret them as being made by someone who doesn’t know the words “antique, historic” or their synonyms:
-“Are these swords made?”
-“Are these real, or did you make them?”
I can only imagine. Anything alternative ends up attracting the mental defectives after a while.
-âAre these swords made?â
-âAre these real, or did you make them?â
Whoa.
The only one of these things I have ever attended was in Sterling, NY – in high school, near my home town.
I guess it was fun but not really my bag so never again. ÂŻ\_(ă)_/ÂŻ
Missus and I attended MD, and SoCal ones but never became devotees (though we were invited to join the court).

The Ohio one was really fun and a great villiage with lots to do.
Mrs and I will be going again for sure.
Once upon a time I might have thought about attending such an event.
My recent visit to a gun show reminded me that I do not do well in crowds.
I like the idea of gun shows far more than actual gun shows.
Seriously.
I’m gonna gird up my loins and head to the Richmond one in May, just because I have several big boxes of gun crap I need to sell.
@Not Adahn: Sounds like a fun, sexy submission topic.
I love the idea and history+play, but I fucking *HATE* dressing up. Work? Whatever. But costumes don’t work w my natural mind-state. đ„ I love seeing others have fun, fairly regardless.
Singling out the transatlantic slave trade tells you right there its a grift to get into your pockets.
The rest wasn’t real slavery, counselor, just indigenous ways of living.
We didn’t call it slavery so it didn’t exist.
I kind of do want to see the UN try to come at us, bro. Just for the lulz.
Didn’t they just come at us? You know. all like… Please give us your cash cause hookers, blow, killing Christians & Jews, and sex with minors costs big money…
I seriously doubt that very many American blacks , if being honest about it, would trade places with their distant cousins who are descendants of those who escaped the slave catchers and still live in Africa today.
Ever see those videos posted by Americans who moved to Africa and regret it? Even those who thought they’d want to actually didn’t.
It ain’t called white guilt for no reason.
Responding to weekend comments II:
Re: “gun culture” and the alphabets. people are people, and while in general the people in my corner of the gunworld are generally tolerant, there are always exceptions. Occasionally you will see people being a bit aggressive with the “celebrate my identity!” shirts/patches/holster decoration but I’ve never seen anyone rise to the bait. Likewise overt (R) messaging is more common but I’ve never seen people respond to it positively or negatively.
However, people are people and with enough people you will get assholes from every POV. Notably, there was a small but extremely aggressive pro-lgbTiqq+ trying to get transwomen recognized in the Ladies category and when that failed trying to sue USPSA out of existence. That lawsuit is still ongoing, and was filed in WA so it might succeed. Since that lawsuit was filed, “Lady” has now been explicitly defined as birth sex women only with acceptable documentation if there is a question.
hat lawsuit is still ongoing, and was filed in WA so it might succeed.
Bring back freedom of association and let private entities make their own rules.
While the transgunners is the motivation for the lawsuit, it’s not the vehicle/excuse/whatever the civil equivalent of “charges” are.
The Board of Directors is eight guys chosen by popular vote from the eight areas the country is divided into, and formerly a “president” elected by the membership at large. Literally none of these people are elected for being good corporate board members so it’s entirely possible that there’s all sorts of legal infractions vis-a-vis record keeping/meeting protocol and the like (though no allegations of personal enrichment AFAIK).
They may very well be guilty of whatever infractions are alleged — none of the allegations are about social issues.
I highly doubt its without cause.
Well the theory the government is taking right now is that they all technically, especially if they ignored their court date, have a criminal record.
Also, if you’ve been here for 50 years and didn’t get your citizenship — well, bye.

Commies in Africa renaming the new hell hole they have taken over doesn’t mean a country no longer exists. A renamed country still exists. And as far as I recall, Czechoslovakia split into two countries, so that doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist anymore. I have to go back to the days where wars were fought for real and the loser actually ceased to exist before a country went away.
Iâm comfortable saying Czechoslovakia doesnât exist any more.
If the borders are the same and the rulers changed, even if they change the name, well, yeah, that country still exists.
And it doesnât matter if their home country doesnât want them back or doesnât exist. That doesnât mean they get to stay in the US.
Almost an admission that they are not “sending us their best”.
“Almost an admission that they are not âsending us their bestâ.”
More often than not it has to do with remittances and fraudulent money being sent back to the old country as well, as recent evidence shows. These illegals form a huge source of income for these broken countries they came from in many cases. Especially when they are criminals in the US.
Itâs almost impossible to live in the US illegally for years on end without committing a crime, even if you entered legally and overstayed your visa (which is a civil offense).
Note the dodge, though – âwithout having a criminal recordâ – meaning theyâve gotten away with whatever identity theft or fraud, at a minimum, theyâve committed so far.
To have worked all of those years under a false SocSec number for example?
I know Trump stepped on his own dick by claiming to go after the worst of the worst, or whatever, but personally, I give zero fucks whether illegals have committed any other crimes after entering illegally. I give zero fucks how theyâve started a life and got married or whatever the fuck.
Send. Them. All. Back.
Thatâs what I voted for.
The left does not care either way.
They want warm bodies, it doesn’t matter if they broke civil law or criminal law. Like so many issues, you cannot have an honest conversation with them about this stuff because their brains are permanently broken.

So there is talk of another DLC for Witcher 3. For a moment, my attention was piqued.
Then it turned out to be part of a plan for the launch of Witcher 4, so my interest tanked to negative.

What with Iran violating the ceasefire, Iâm wondering why the bombing campaign hasnât resumed.
1 week is a nice long time to insert CIA operatives in country…
It really looks like we are negotiating with two parties. One that wants this to stop and the diehards willing to burn it all down.
I think it has always been like that. Iran was never truly united.

I saw the mirror video of that…
Still funny…
It’s the fumes that get you.
My dad did that with a yellow jacket nest in our yard when I was a kid. No explosions, just fire. But then again, he was a bit smarter about it than that guy.
That guy wins the crazy award. Flip flops, gas fumes, and throwing matches instead of a long stick torch. Wow.
Just out some modern ant poison in it.
Kinda made me angry allowing his dogs to just chill while he plays with fire.
That was my immediate thought. Put your dogs inside first, douche.
