Carolina has jumped out to a 2-0 series lead against Philly. Wonder how Gritty will react when the series shifts back to Philadelphia? Vegas is 1-0 up on Anaheim. The Wild will try to even their series with Colorado tonight, and the Sabres will start theirs against the only Canadian/Canadien team left tomorrow. The NBA playoffs are still going. The Astros continue to be an embarrassment, although their entire division is ass this year. And across the pond, Man City faltered while Forest got a win that all but secures them from relegation. And UCL semifinal second legs start tonight (this afternoon here). And that’s it for sports.

We will welcome them with open arms. I’m kidding. The chances of this happening are very low and I doubt they’d ever ask to be a part of the US. But it is kind of funny to see what’s happening there. I almost wish a few states in the US would see if they have the votes to leave and what the reaction would be.

This is getting out of hand. I guess it’s what happens when an unqualified activist retard is placed in a high position of power. I hope more majority opinions are penned like this in the future.

Whores and drugs? Yes. A nice juicy steak? Absolutely not! Good luck with this nonsense.

And they’ll vote for people even further on the left. Because they’re fucking stupid.

I wonder what the cause is. ::puts on tinfoil hat:: Lagging sales will be what they say, but I am curious how much of it is the crackdown on H1B visas and the SBA not giving loans to foreigners. ::takes off tinfoil hat::

Want to know what it’s like to check basically every DEI box? Well now you do. This man is a walking rolling Netflix movie.

If everything is hate speech, then nothing is hate speech. And no, you idiots, this is not hate speech.

Yeah, but they have better bread than the US. At least they claim to because they’re retarded. But they’ll gloss over this from their poverty state.

This judge is an imbecile. Although I’m not the least bit surprised.

I’m shocked! I never thought I’d see the day there was a corruption from California government officials.

Here’s a good one. They deserved more success. At least that’s my opinion. Anyway, enjoy them both.

And enjoy this lovely Tuesday, dear friends.

    Vegas is 1-0 up on Anaheim. The Wild will try to even their series with Vegas tonight

    Vegas is playing two series at the same time?

    • Rat on a train

      Vegas has such a good bench they formed another team that made the playoffs?

      • Ted S.

        Sure, Jan.

    This whole thing is so wild to me. The Met Gala itself is something that, even if you’re not in the fashion world, is such a major spectacle.

    Yeah, if you’re an attention-seeking rube with more money than sense, I can see that.

    • Nephilium

      Up until the past couple of years, I couldn’t have told you what the Met Gala was. Even now, my awareness of it extends to a definition of “rich twats showing how rich they are ‘for the little guy'”.

      It’s the type of conspicuous social signalling that puts me on edge.

    • UnCivilServant

      I’m going to have to side with the confused shoppers on this one.

      If the only thing happening in-country is decanting the product into retail packaging, it should be labelled as a foreign product.

    My dad’s mother was born in Alberta.

    So, I guess I am one quarter Canadian, eh.

    Judge Faruqui then served for twelve years as a federal prosecutor in the U.S. Attorney’s Offices in St. Louis and Washington D.C. While there, he prosecuted cases involving terrorists use of cryptocurrency, North Korean weapons proliferation, darknet sites dedicated to child exploitation, and the theft of antiquities. He also represented the Department of Justice at numerous conferences across the globe on financial crimes, cryptocurrency, and national security issues.

    Amsterdam has reportedly become the first capital city in the world to ban public ads for meat and fossil fuels — wiping burgers, gas-powered cars, and airline promotions from billboards, tram stops and metro stations.

    C’mon, the whole country is there because of dikes. Is there anyone surprised that they’d have a preference for fish?

    • Rat on a train

      When will they finalize the 15 minute prison system.

    • (((Jarflax

      The dikes keep the fish out.

    • rhywun

      part of a plan to reach carbon neutrality by 2050 and cut meat consumption in half

      Good. Let some non-American city lead the way to self-destruction so the lesson is there for others to learn from if they dare.

        Meat is so good for you, they don’t want you to have access to it. I’ll be curious to see the trend of height and IQ in the Netherlands over the next 30 years.

      • juris imprudent

        Just amongst the dhimmi population. The halal consuming will do just fine.

      • The Artist Formerly Known as Lackadaisical

        JI, their IQs will remain stubbornly low due to all the inbreeding. Unless they really get the rape gangs going in Netherlands too.

      • rhywun

        Well, the green crowd and the invader crowd are both death cults so maybe they can all go down together.

    • Beau Knott

      Sigh. Messed up the link formatting, but hey, it still works 😉
      Ten thousand curses on my current meds, which are not conducive to clear thinking and other mental functions.

        Just trying to keep warm, I think. Far north end of Scotland; they’re lucky to have some sunshine.

      One of my favorites from the era.

      Me and a college buddy used to spin their records in his dorm room freshman year. Must have been 1988.

    I doubt they’d ever ask to be a part of the US.

    The Dems would certainly block it anyway. Oil and conservatives – yuck!

      • The Artist Formerly Known as Lackadaisical

        Historically, ratifying a treaty for the annexation of Texas was done by a simple majority of both Houses. Which doesn’t seem right.

      • The Last American Hero

        Well, first we need to find a slave state to admit, because every time you admit a free state, you need to admit a slave state so that mint juleps don’t get outlawed.

    One other sports bit: Hearts took a step towards breaking the Old Firm duopoly.

    • sloopyinca

      I’m still fearful they’ll stumble and end up losing out to Celtic in the last game of the season on goal difference somehow. Maybe Rangers will draw or beat those assholes this weekend and put that to rest.

    • juris imprudent

      At least the PL (English and Scottish) have title races this year; Germany, Italy, France and Netherlands already decided and Spain all but decided.

    Re: Alberta

    Seems they could be one of those super rich petrostates (like Norway, for example) if they cut ties with mother Canada. Seems like a no-brainer. You’re in a super safe area, so being a small country isn’t going to really hurt you, big brother USA will always have your back.

    Alito wrote that maps only violate the Voting Rights Act when there is a “strong inference that the State intentionally drew its districts to afford minority voters less opportunity because of their race.”

    Less opportunity to what?

    • Fourscore

      I’m thinking there should be a handicap for voters, similar to golf/bowling.

      If you can check enough ‘handicaps’ your vote gets bonus points. For example, being left-handed in a right handed world counts for something extra.

      I have a little extra life experience, there’s a senior bonus waiting to be used at voting time.

  10. R C Dean

    “I am curious how much of it is the crackdown on H1B visas and the SBA not giving loans to foreigners”

    Since this is a ten year trend, I suspect very little of it is due to that.

  11. The Artist Formerly Known as Lackadaisical

    “The decision narrowed Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which has long been used to challenge congressional maps as racially discriminatory.”

    …and to then draw racially discriminatory maps.

    • Rat on a train

      But it was good discrimination.

    “Sometimes people have had terrible childhoods. And sometimes they just haven’t found their special place in life. And sometimes they’re dogs from hell and must be destroyed.”

    But they’ll gloss over this from their poverty state.

    They’re certainly not going to do the quickest and surest way to get rid of slavery in the UK – stop importing slavers, slave owners, and slaves. Because every single one is imported, I am sure.

    • juris imprudent

      So this is the CEO of the company that was the short play of a couple of years ago, right? If he was CEO then, I understand why the pros were shorting.

      • Sensei

        Correct. Game Stop is probably peak meme at the moment.

  14. cyto

    Remember the monkey guy? The one who had 2 different GA county sheriff departments conspire to violate his rights?

    He has been trying to get a “watch the police” style website going, with limited success. Absent the drama of his ongoing personal legal battle, he hasn’t really captured an audience.

    But his legal battles continue, as he presses civil rights lawsuits, again representing himself.

    And now he puts out a video claiming they are stalking him and trying to kill him. Honestly, it sounds a little unhinged.

    But….

    He posts something of relevance to many here. He brings up the hot topic of FLOCK. Turns out, after his bogus traffic charges finally got dismissed (a year later), the deputies in the area used FLOCK to surveille his movements, across Georgia and his home state of Florida. They have drug enforcement agents searching him in FLOCK.

    He thinks people have been following him… he says he has received death threats…

    So he uses a public FLOCK search transparency site to look himself up and discovers that multiple sheriff offices have been following him using FLOCK. Including a spouse of one deputy who works in another county.

    Just because you are paranoid….

      Remember the monkey guy?

      No.

      He has been trying to get a “watch the police” style website going

      What happened to the “Photography is not a crime” folks?

      • cyto

        They rebranded as “auditors”. There is an entire industry of them. They are all over my feed because I follow crazy radical stuff like basic civil rights. Wading through dozens of videos of guys standing in front of banks with cameras to “audit” first amendment protections as bank customers worry over being video recorded as they get money from the ATM is … what is the right word? Frustrating? Annoying? Tedious?

      • cyto

        And monkey guy was great. He got targeted by a couple of rules, probably looking to Civil Asset Forfeiture his big new SUV.

        He wound up getting a county attorney fired, a judge refused, a couple of counties in the cross hairs of civil rights suits…. and even won against Ford Motor Company, compelling them to give him data from the rental truck.

        Yes, this guy was so much of an “i shall fight this injustice”, die on this hill type of guy that he went as far as getting the secret computer data off of a rental SUV to prove that police lied on the tickets they issued and in subsequent testimony to the GBI (yes, he got the GBI to investigate them for criminal conspiracy). He used it to prove that they lied under oath when they testified that he had been following too closely before their in-car video began, but he quickly hit the brakes when he saw them. The computer data from the car demonstrated that he did not hit the brakes.

        How many people sue Ford Motor Company in the course of fighting a traffic ticket?

        I heard about it from this guy

    ‘And now, Subway’s struggles on home turf show no sign of slowing, with the sandwich giant shrinking its US footprint for a staggering 10th year in a row.’

    It is almost as if having a whole bunch of people open franchises who probably don’t even eat meat, get overseas people to come work there and then also to slash quality and raise prices at the same time isn’t a winning strategy.

    • UnCivilServant

      When forced by circumstance to have their food, I described Subway as “Distilled Disappointment”

      I still care about as much as that assessment about their fate.

      • The Artist Formerly Known as Lackadaisical

        I used to actually enjoy it, maybe 20 years ago.

        Every visit in the last 5+ years has been terrible. Terrible staff, wimpy bread, sad meats, sometimes suspect veggies. Just stupid to ever eat there again. I’d rather go hungry.

      • EvilSheldon

        Every once in a while, I forget how shit Subway is and get a sandwich there, then spend the next day or two regretting it.

      • cyto

        I think the drastic shrinking of the subway footprint shows that a part of their business model was simply selling franchises. Kinda like Amway. They were never too concerned with the success of those restaurants, as they would allow one to open a block or two away from an existing shop.

      • EvilSheldon

        What’s wrong with Chipotle?

        A Chipotle double-chicken, white rice, pico, and guacamole bowl is my default ‘skipped my meal prep/can’t be bothered to cook’ dinner. Second place is two McDoubles crammed into a single bun.

      • Ted S.

        They drove Mojeaux’s kid away.

      • EvilSheldon

        Good point.

        I make a pretty good copycat adobo chicken bowl with salsa and guac myself, anyway. In fact, I’m gonna have one for lunch.

    “The Astros continue to be an embarrassment, although their entire division is ass this year.”

    That’s a shame. The NL Central has the other problem, so far. Speaking of, your Chicago Cubs had a thrilling game last night.

    • Grumbletarian

      The Red Sox are equally dismal, and have canned most of their coaches already.

    ‘Aariana Rose Philip is an Antiguan American model and musician who has quadriplegic cerebral palsy. She is a runway regular ‘

    When she is on the runway does it become a rollway?

  18. The Artist Formerly Known as Lackadaisical

    ‘After his arrest on April 25, Cole Allen told the FBI that he didn’t expect to survive the incident, according to Assistant U.S. Attorney Jocelyn Ballantine.’

    Almost sounds like a good reason to have put him on suicide watch. Fuck this ‘judge’.

  19. rhywun

    But this is America and somehow the phrase that millions of Christians have used is now being used to antagonize Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Black Americans, immigrants, the LGBTQ community

    Oh fuck off. Maybe some fringe assholes are doing it – so just ignore them. You attempting to draw attention to them is only going to give them more power.

    • EvilSheldon

      Isn’t it strange that a lifelong atheist like myself can hear, “Christ is King” or “God bless you” and just go on about my day without having an existential freak-out?

      • juris imprudent

        No that’s just your white cis-male privilege.

      • EvilSheldon

        Well, white and male, anyway. But I really think of it as my, ‘No untreated personality disorders’ privilege.

      • Nephilium

        Same as I was unaware that I was mortally wounded every time I was called miss.

    • juris imprudent

      But see, the more I make them visible, the more I can scream about what a threat they are!!! It’s the hype cycle.

    • WTF

      I wonder if the writer is upset by “Allahu Akbar”?

      • UnCivilServant

        I am.

        Though the “Boom!” or “Bang! Bang! Bang!” that follows usually takes precedence in my distress.

      • cyto

        Asking that question is racist and outs you as a white nationalist. What an obvious dog whistle.

      • Ownbestenemy

        God be with you too

    Wow, that poor guy who attempted to kill the president and shot a secret service agent with buckshot was held in solitary for a whole few days??

    The horror.. I am so glad this judge learned from the way people were held without bond in solitary confinement for over a year on trespassing charges. I mean, at least those guys were transferred around the country in chains in painful positions without food, water or bathroom breaks for tens of hours. Nothing like the horror of being put on suicide watch after making a suicide run at the president.

    • Ownbestenemy

      Well the judge is claiming no such treatment of J6ers was given and then somehow is tying an actual assassination/terroist action to J6ers

    • Nephilium

      He only tried to assassinate Trump, it’s not like he committed any REAL crime.

  21. Common Tater

    Subway used to be be great. Then the quality in the some of the stores declined. So it wasn’t being enforced from the top.

    Then inflation happened. $5 footlongs were only six years ago? Now they are $15.

    No one wants to pay three times as much for a worse sandwich.
