Nothing humorous from me today. WebDom and I are marking the 4th anniversary of the passing of the finest human she and I have ever known, the mind behind this site and the creator of our community. Life has gone on, WebDom married and bore a child, we’ve settled into life in the Gulch, my foray into himbo-hood was a small consolation, and the remarkable Prime has tried to make my post-SP life tolerable. But the Light we once had is gone and we’re all irreversibly diminished by SP’s departure.
But enough about death, there’s no shortage of birthdays today: for example, a very binary fellow; a guy who was hypnotic; Sloopy’s spirit animal; “Bab’s your uncle“; a guy whose legacy is generations of shitty cars; proof that lightning can strike twice in the same place; a guy who had the shining; a rather chaotic fellow; a rather synthetic fellow; and a guy who should have been the Team L candidate for president.
And these should have been Links.
Anyone who is hated by both Team Blue and Team Red is OK in my book.
It’s the monster you helped create. Deal with it.
The lede gets buried. The university went on a spending binge for new buildings and couldn’t pay for it. But don’t expect the administration to take the hit.
So now not even a fig leaf of, “We’re not against immigration, we just want legal immigration.”
I hope they used the rape dogs.
“We’re shocked that a vocal anti-semite seems to hate Jews.”
I had several choices for music today to represent SP’s favorite songs. After some deliberation and coin tossing, I settled on this piece of music which she loved. And I am honestly in tears hearing it.
“a rather chaotic fellow”
Couldn’t be worse than Taylor Lorenz.
“Tulsi Gabbard resigned as President Donald Trump’s director of national intelligence on Friday, saying she needed to step away as her husband battles cancer. She is the fourth Cabinet official to depart during Trump’s second term.”
Sad.
Seconded. Bone cancer is shitty. And Tulsi was a good pick.
Indeed. But according to the announcement I read she uncovered a treasure trove of evidence that will make certain people very uncomfortable. Hopefully her successor and team can turn that into prosecutions.
And she may return after a period of time when her more pressing duties are done. I hate to have to be that pragmatic. I wish the best for her and her husband.
I’d be happy with unredacted disclosures – sunlight on the cockroaches as it were; prosecutions are a bonus.
Sunlight only works when people feel shame. The sociopaths (and worse) infesting our government do not.
Prosecutions and convictions or GTFO. As the meme goes, “They’re doing it again because you didn’t hang them the first time”.
Sad and likely predictable.
The waves of rare/unusual cancers are just getting started.

“For decades, we have been told a simple story: Palestine was colonised.”
So was the entire New World.
Palestine was colonized alright, by Arabs, and ruled over by satraps for centuries, then briefly by the British (who were colonized by Romans, then Angles and Saxons and then Normans long ago).
No.

They gamely tried to use Ukraine for this purpose for about a year – I still see remnants of it around town – but then Oct. 7 happened and hallelujah what an opportunity.
There is one home in my town flying a Uke and a Star of David flag.
My deepest sympathy on this difficult anniversary. I’m honored to have had the opportunity to meet her once, if ever so briefly.
She was a very retiring and (in the IRL sense) private and anti-social person. Yet… people almost invariably found themselves comfortable and disarmed by her. So often, she’d find out things in minutes that I was unaware of from people I knew for years and years. “People tell me everything.” She could have been a fabulously successful fake psychic given her natural cold-reading skills.
OM, I understand.
We can never replace those that have had such an impact on our lives.
Not a day goes by…
“…I’m inclined to reserve all judgements, a habit that has opened up many curious natures to me and also made me the victim of not a few veteran bores. The abnormal mind is quick to detect and attach itself to this quality when it appears in a normal person, and so it came about that in college I was unjustly accused of being a politician, because I was privy to the secret griefs of wild, unknown men. Most of the confidences were unsought….”
It’s one of those odd things in my life that I remember exactly where I was when I read the post of SP’s passing.
Condolences OM

Under the new USCIS policy, those who have already legally lived and worked in the U.S. for years would have to return to their home country to apply to return.
I remember H1B guys having to leave to renew back in the 00s. I guess it changed under Obama? Or Biden?
There’s a difference between renewing and changing to permanent resident.
I was able to change from tourist to legally working but not permanent resident and then to permanent resident inside the US. But I think the categories I was under don’t exist any more.
The ones I’m thinking of were renewing.
I vaguely recall that I could renew a certain number of times then had to leave the country.
I vaguely recall that I could renew a certain number of times then had to leave the country.
Oh. I think that was why they had to leave. My memory is coming back.
I definitely remember having to spend Christmas in the USA with my in-laws once while my H1B was being renewed. Would have been while W was President.
Should have clarified that they were my future in-laws.

I really don’t understand them fronting for the bullshit. They could at least lean hard into assimilation to offset being the patsy, but they don’t.
Everything is connected to Palestine, somehow. It has become the world’s most portable political accessory since Ukraine.

TOO LOCAL NEWS: End of NH legislative session updates
There’s two more session days scheduled. One in two weeks, and one in the Fall to override or not override the governor’s vetos.
Campus Carry Shot Down
The House-passed version of campus carry, which would have allowed every student legally permitted to possess a firearm to do so on campus, was scaled back by the Senate to “faculty carry” only. On reconciliation day, there was no agreement to be had. The Senate rejected a Committee of Conference on the legislation, thereby killing it.
The background on the Campus Carry bill is that the state preemption law states that only the state government may regulate firearms outside of municipalities being able to set hunting and shooting (i.e. target shooting) hours within a window. UNH claims that since it is state owned, it is a state agency, and therefore it can ban firearms from its campuses. The Campus Carry bill is intended to update the preemption law so that UNH and other state owned schools can’t do this.
I think the correct solution is to sell off UNH and the other state owned colleges. Cut off all state money as part of the sale. Then as private institutions they can do whatever they want. It also solves a bunch of other problems like not having taxpayers subsidizing whatever other stupidity is going on on those campuses.
A little more on the Campus Carry bill
“Then as private institutions they can do whatever they want. ”
They’ll ban guns.
Does every state “agency” have the power to write its own laws in NH?
There are a few that can issue regulations that have the force of law. Like the Liquor Commission. I think all of those are explicitly called out in state law. UNH is not one of them.
I went digging because I could not remember if UNH’s policy had been challenged in court. I couldn’t find one. What I did find is that no police officer is going to arrest you for carrying a gun on UNH’s campus as there is no law preventing it. However, you would be in violation of UNH’s policy, so UNH officials could have the police officer trespass you. Which kinda fits my solution of selling UNH to make it private.
Today, in vaginamaxxing.

My very favorite story from the one-credit-hour “History of Miami (University)” class (which I thoroughly enjoyed, but whose “B” grade probably dropped me JUST below cum laude,) as the young lady in question lived in Oxford, OH, very close to our hero’s hometown:
“Jeep should be forced to change the name of its Grand Cherokee SUV to prevent it profiting from cultural appropriation, a woke law professor claims.
J Janewa Osei-Tutu, a Ghanaian/Canadian/American intellectual property attorney and teacher at Miami University believes federal laws should be changed to ‘protect cultural personality.’
…We should also have a right to control not only the commercial use of our individual personal identities but also our collectively held cultural identities,’ she writes.
Osei-Tutu refers to intellectual property laws as ‘underinclusive – at least in relation to valuable intangible cultural heritage from indigenous communities and local communities from the global south.’
Her perceived flaws in the laws allow corporations to ‘capture and monetize this unprotected resource, which means that it is exposed and subject to misappropriation.'”

Well then.
A big part of today’s shitty political climate lays at the feet of Democrats failing to self reflect after, make that since, 2016. When She lost, instead of reflecting on Hillary’s inability to connect with human beings, the incredibly slow recovery from the Great Recession that was still being felt in the rustbelt, and campaigning in friendly already in the bag districts instead of swing states and districts, Team Blue went on about Russians hacking elections and Nazi’s hiding under your bed. It only worked in 2020 because of COVID and Trump’s bungled response. But we are now at a decade where no serious reflection and course correction has been made. Thus, in a mid-term season with unnecessarily high gas prices due to Trump’s war, they should be a shoe in for a Blue Wave, and instead may get a solid majority. Meanwhile, for 2028, we get the failed Governor of California, the VP who lost to Donald Fucking Trump, and a communist from Brooklyn as the top contenders.
Make that slim majority.
They are following the Labour Party trajectory – able to “win big” when there is utterly no alternative. And then on their way to being swept aside.
“The mothers looksmaxxing their babies to make them more attractive
Looksmaxxing has escaped the teenage manosphere — Now mothers are joining in — Their goal: to reshape their babies’ skulls
Their faces, she worried, had not properly developed — as toddlers, their palates were too narrow, their jaws insufficiently defined. She suspected this was because there wasn’t enough organic food where they lived. Taking matters into her own hands, she breastfed both children until they were aged three and a half.
‘Breastfeeding is the beginning of “mewing”,’ she said last November, referring to a DIY technique designed to improved one’s jawline. It offers ‘the best possible start in life’. After that, she added, children can begin ‘boot camp’.

Ten thousand words about where the women’s movement went wrong?
Sure. I’ll jump right on that.
So now not even a fig leaf of, “We’re not against immigration, we just want legal immigration.”
I mean in Europe immigration is a problem. making it legal does not help, unless the legal bit is highly restrictive. overall legal immigration is a bigger problem than illegal because there is more of it.
Letting “refugees” pour across your border because you feel bad for them is not immigration.
well unfortunately it is the unvetted kind
People entering Europe who do not want to assimilate are invaders not immigrants.
if you let em in and give them free shit are they still invaders…

Raises awareness. /said solemnly and with total sincerity
Located less than two miles from Fayetteville and 12 miles from Round Top, this 187-acre property offers a versatile mix of privacy, access and usable land.
The ranch features clusters of dense vegetation, scattered openings and established trails, creating a natural layout suited for recreation, wildlife, hunting or future improvements. A 3BR/2BA home built in 1995 sits on the property, with the primary suite located upstairs.
A transmission line bisects the property, offering additional access and open corridor space. A current survey is available.
With its proximity to Fayetteville and Round Top, this property provides a rural setting with convenient access to two highly desirable small-town destinations.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61kVSpSArNo
The 2K Ranch is for sale, a 187.094± acre Fayette County property positioned halfway between Houston and Austin with paved FM 1291 access. The ranch combines acreage, a small pond, and an existing home on a property that reads as a blank canvas for a buyer with vision. The property is currently ag-exempt.
Water
A private well serves the home, drilled 500’± deep into the Carrizo-Wilcox aquifer. A small pond sits midway through the property, fed by runoff.
Wildlife & Hunting
The owner currently hunts Whitetail and hogs on the property.
Remarks
The 2K Ranch fits a buyer looking for a private weekend property between Houston and Austin, or someone wanting acreage with room to remodel the existing home or build new.
$2,900,000
The power lines running through the property make it low class.
It’s only $1.5M per bathroom!
$15,500 an acre.
Concreting the house…
No pictures in the house.
That’s the most amazing autocowreck I’ve ever had.
I wonder if any of the people currently freaking out about Mad King Donald’s “weaponization fund” ever gave two seconds’ thought about Justice Department settlements shovelling money into the accounts of NGO/nonprofit organizations to expand their lawfare programs against government agencies.

Why ‘Ballmaxxing’ May Be More Dangerous Than You Think
https://www.healthline.com/health-news/ballmaxxing-more-dangerous-than-you-think
There is no shortage of “maxxing” trends on social media, from “looksmaxxing” to “fibermaxxing” to “sleepmaxxing.”
The latest, known as “ballmaxxing,” has men injecting fluids like saline or Surgilube into their testicles to increase their size. Some proponents say that ballmaxxing helped inflate their testicles to the size of grapefruits.
But the question on everyone’s mind is, “Why?”
Some say that increasing their scrotum size makes them feel more masculine and confident, while others claim they believe women prefer larger testicles. Some have also suggested that ballmaxxing can enhance sexual pleasure and performance.
However, saline and Surgilube were not intended for these purposes.
What’s that smell?
In what is being called an “unprecedented” situation, tens of thousands of people in Southern California were told to leave their homes Friday, with officials issuing a dire warning that a chemical tank at an aerospace facility is in “crisis” and will either fail or explode.
Firefighters initially responded to a leak at the GKN Aerospace manufacturing company in Garden Grove on Thursday, for vapor releasing from a 34,000-gallon tank containing methyl methacrylate, which is used in plastic manufacturing, according to the Orange County Fire Authority.
On Friday, the situation in the city, about 30 miles south of Los Angeles, had grown more dire, with officials warning that, though there was no active gas leak or plume, the tank was “actively in crisis” and unable to be secured.
Those dirty companies should move to Texas.
