Thursday morning Links

Sloopjo are off hawking wares this week. You get the Spudster instead. It’s still warm here and the tomatoes are finally coming on. I’ve got like another two weeks before it cools down. I only have six quarts of sauce so far. And my first batch of fermented Fresno chili hot sauce failed. Not sure what I did wrong, but there was green mold on it this morning. I have one more chance. The Guajillos are coming along nicely.

Shall we Link?

Sick burn.

Related.

I mean, imagine how the husband feels knowing the dog is a better lay. Also, the FBI has been in contact for employment opportunities.

They’re gonna get used like an Afghani butt boy.

“We’d rather they die of starvation.”

“Oh, you can bomb the Saudi’s.”

This was probably a good move. And I’m fine with them taking off time from “helping” us.

There’s a lot of currents here, but they all have one theme. Control. Democrats want to take control through government expansion as well as global oversight. AI companies raising the alarm want to freeze out competition, keep their product proprietary, and be relieved of responsibility for what happens when they release Frankenstein’s monster. And then there’s billions being spent by the CCP to slow down development, to help them win the race. Bessent was correct in saying that they can slow down any time they want to. In the end, Xi is chuckling into his chow mein.

Uh oh. Karen is in trouble and LA is fucked no matter who wins.

Okay, enough for me. Have a great day. Peace out, Glibbies.

    there was green mold on it this morning

    Is that bad? Should I not have served that to people?

    • UnCivilServant

      Spud is not Taco Bell, he can’t get away with the gastrointestinal distress feeding that to people would cause.

    • R.J.

      Sell it as Bleu sauce. Or Gruen, since the mold is actually green. Make a new food category.

      • ZWAK, doktor of BRAIN SCIENCE!

        botulism isn’t a food category.

        Just sayin’

      • ron73440

        botulism isn’t a food category.

        It could be for one time only.

        If you call it Gruen, it has to come from the Gruen section of your refridgerator

    “The poll itself has not been publicly released, so Li’s account of its findings cannot be independently verified. But Li says the survey was commissioned internally and its results circulated among a small circle of Democrat operatives and fundraisers.”

    So who knows?

    • AlexinCT

      Believe us when we say the polls say X, but we share neither the polls or the methodology with ya?

      • Common Tater

        Lindy Li is trying to sell a book.

    • DrOtto

      At least there’s a name behind the allegation. The party could always release the poll to refute it, if it in fact does refute the allegation.

    • Threedoor

      Bootyjuice and Witmer would have done as well as Kamala.

      more Florida Woman

      A Florida mother and her son were arrested and charged with incest after police were called to their home for a “domestic violence event.”

      “‘Were you aware that your wife was having sex with her son?’” Judd recalled asking Christina’s husband. “He said, ‘No, I absolutely was not. But I think I am a little suspicious that they used to go in the master bedroom and lock the door.’ ”

      • AlexinCT

        Erm….

      • Fourscore

        I don’t understand. Two consenting adults, in the privacy of their own home.

        It may be icky, bizarre or immoral but I don’t see a law to be broken. Not the government’s business.

    • bacon-magic

      This all could’ve been avoided if you’d stop dressing your “furbabies” like people and people like furbabies.

    According to Li, Democrats privately examined how Harris, Pete Buttigieg, Gavin Newsom and Gretchen Whitmer would perform as possible replacements for Biden before he ultimately abandoned his reelection campaign.

    With that galaxy of stars to choose from, it could not have been easy to pick just one.

    • Common Tater

      Didn’t he say he was going to pick a black woman?

      • R C Dean

        That was 4 years previously, when he was running for election. This is a couple years ago, when they were trying to come up with a successor.

      • Ted S.

        Yeah, but the black women would have revolted in droves if the people around Biden hadn’t picked one to replace him after the disastrous debate.

      • R C Dean

        I think it was the fact that anybody but Harris wouldn’t have been able to access the warchest they had already raised for the election, and would have started with essentially zero campaign funds.

      • Fourscore

        Having Kamala as a campaigner for a candidate is like having Trump for a campaigner at this point.

        Turnout may be a little low but someone will still win.

        Too bad for the populace.

      • Common Tater

        “anybody but Harris wouldn’t have been able to access the warchest”

        That was the main reason.

  5. Common Tater

    “Former Vice President Kamala Harris plans to campaign with Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan next week in the party’s latest push to unify voters in a key battleground state that will help determine control of the Senate.”

    That sounds like a bad idea for both of them.

    • rhywun

      I used to think that repeatedly and clearly demonstrating your absolute hatred for the United States and everything it stands for was a deal-breaker but certainly not for Dem voters. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      Those two are like wonder twins of suck, reinforcing each other and growing stronger in the eyes of retarded voters in the process.

      • Furthest Blue pistoffnick (370HSSV)

        wonder twins of suck

        Abdul El-Sayed likes to suck cock too?

    Good morning! Gas prices shot up overnight. $4.19 here, which is Biden territory. Did we bomb someone new?

    • Sensei

      Fed commentary spooked the market yesterday afternoon.

    • Fourscore

      Other than the home town folks.?

      Trump must still be the the president.

    • Furthest Blue pistoffnick (370HSSV)

      I don’t feel so bad about paying $5.89 per gallon for #2 Fuel Oil yesterday after seeing the price jump today.

      I don’t think fuel prices are going to go down in the next year.

    “Oh, you can bomb the Saudi’s.”

    Sweet technical.

      • Ted S.

        And which Saudi?

    • AlexinCT

      The fact that the Saudis, with all the modern hardware we in the west have sold them, can’t stop these people – and believe me, the issue is not good intel or understanding the enemy – should worry everyone. Modern hardware and untrained low IQ/intellect people don’t work well.

      • Sensei

        Saw a picture of downed Saudi F-15 in Yemen this AM.

      • RAHeinlein

        There was an existing defense coalition comprised of multiple Arab states (including Saudi Arabia) – some changes in composition occurred this Summer (including UAE moving out). It looks like the Houthi’s were well-informed and positioned to strike at the point when defenses were transitioning.

    But as I posted in the ded thread – they did manage to come together and mandate AM radio for all vehicles! It’s the important things.

    • R C Dean

      Dunno how I missed that. That’s the kind of legislative achievement that they can coast to victory on.

        Most of the AM news stations have gone out of business.

        I loved the CBS Radio Mystery Theater the couple times I stumbled across it.

  10. R C Dean

    This was probably a good move.

    Also, no action on election reform, immigration, or any of the other 80/20 issues. Its almost like they don’t give a shit about having the Dems take over.

    These people have nothing better to do?

    • Common Tater

      ““This temporary restraining order is a critical step—but the fight isn’t over. We’ll keep pushing for a permanent solution that respects these wild horses’ right to roam free,” the group added.”

      So how leftists view homeless people?

      • Evan from Evansville

        ZING!

    • Common Tater

      ““Instead of a ‘rescue,’ the BLM said they were going to round up 100% of the wild horses on Riddle Mountain and confine them to feedlots for two years, after which they might (or might not) return a maximum of 33 back to the wild, after dosing some of them with brith control [sic],” Molvar said. “That’s such a small number that it is well below the genetic minimum viable population threshold established by science.”

      Do they know horses are an invasive species?

      • dbleagle

        They don’t care.

    Misleading headline. Thought it was the *other* BLM. Ya know. Black Bodies Matter, with the “trained-Marxists” who ab-scammed w the money and bought fucking ocean-side mansions instead? Don’t recall anyone on ‘their’ side getting to upset by their blatant schemery.

    “The Oregon Wild Horse Organization, the Central Oregon Wild Horse Coalition, and the Western Watersheds Project sued to stop BLM’s removal of hundreds of wild horses on Riddle Mountain to keep them from starving…”

    Riddle me that, mafucka. Also riddle-worthy: Can’t sleep (well) for several days, then punch out early last night, only to awaken in ~3hrs? Well, way to sorta get the clue, Brainy-Poo. Well, *deep exhale* ain’t got no shift today… Enjoy your commute… *fulfilling yawn*

    I saw some wag pointing out that the feministas had a conniption last year when Sydney Sweeney wore pants, and now they’re all wrapped around the axle because she’s not wearing pants. There’s just no pleasing some people, I guess.

    • Evan from Evansville

      I’m okay with Syd Sweetener Sweenster with or without pants on. (Hers or mine. Both. Yes.)

      • AlexinCT

        I see a strategy there…

      There were a bunch of “think” pieces that rambled on and said nothing, meaningless word salad on The View, etc.

        There were a bunch of “think” pieces that rambled on and said nothing, meaningless word salad on The View, etc.

        You could say the same thing about another HUGE story.

        Apparently the Texas coach left his sideline interview early and the woman reporter rolled her eyes or something.

        Then someone made an AI video of the coach slapping her. (note: No one was actually slapped)

        The Texas QB laughed about the AI video (again, no one was slapped).

        He then apologized for laughing, but so many women are offended and the reactions make my brain hurt.

        Why is everything retarded?

        “Why is everything retarded?”

      The fugly movement hates that their massive effort to force compliance and acceptance of fugly is being pushed back against. The greatest proof their movement was nothing but lozers & lazy people telling the world to stop shaming them is what GLPs have done to the fat is great movement.

    • Ted S.

      Sydney Sweeney pleases the Icky Class, which is part of why the Goodthinkful hate her.

      Ditto Caitlin Clark.

      • (((Jarflax

        It makes it hard to find the common ground needed to keep things from falling apart when one side liking an objectively unobjectionable thing makes it hated by the other side.

    You’ll recall the failed mayor, who has the audacity to run for reelection, helped Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-Calif.) load $24 billion into a wind machine and point it in the general direction of the state’s favored homeless NGOs.

    Except like “failed” Governor Hochul who isn’t done running her state into the ground, she will win reelection in a landslide. Is it really a “failure” when the only point is to amass power and one is very successful at achieving that?

    • Fourscore

      Seems like graft is not ‘too local’ these days. Just when we thought MN was Graft Central it’s beginning to look like an Also Ran.

      • rhywun

        The graft is so endemic in states like CA and NY that it doesn’t even draw any attention anymore. MN drew attention for how brazen it was especially from your new vibrant neighbors.

      • DrOtto

        They were quick learners, and all this from a group that liberals think are half-wits incapable of getting photo IDs.

  17. Common Tater

    “The Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) laundered more than $75 million for charlatans, cheaters, and thieves, at least one of whom used more than $1 million of the more than $110 million in homeless funds he received to open a nightclub….

    You’ll recall the failed mayor, who has the audacity to run for reelection, helped Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-Calif.) load $24 billion into a wind machine and point it in the general direction of the state’s favored homeless NGOs. It was liar’s poker time, and nobody at the city and county apparently ever called the cheaters to make them show their hands. Now people are indicted and likely are going to federal prison.”

    Still just a tiny fraction.

      We had a collie like that.

      He was a large tri-color, but no matter who came to the door, he just wanted petted.

      He looked a lot like this one:

      https://thecollieclub.org/collie-coat-colors/#iLightbox%5Bimage_carousel_2%5D/0

      My Husky would run and hide.

      He once showed up at the back door, although we had let him out the front. we have the invisible fence, so he shouldn’t be able to do that.

      We went out and found that an Amazon driver had came, the poor dog peed himself running down the front steps, then ran through the shock to the back door.

    • EvilSheldon

      Such nonsense. The dog was obviously trying to delay the burglar’s escape by playing with him. And it worked, the cops caught him in the act.

    And further escalating the drama, images have resurfaced showing Macklemore wearing an oversized prosthetic nose, a black beard and a shaggy black wig during a 2014 performance in Seattle.

    The costume was criticised for resembling an anti-Semitic caricature of a Jewish man. Macklemore apologised at the time, saying he had no malicious intention and was unaware that the costume resembled a Jewish stereotype….

    Rachel Moiselle, a Jewish activist from Ireland added: ‘Ask yourself this: would you tolerate someone who did Blackface this way and give him every benefit of the doubt while the Black community are telling you he is racist? No? Then why are your standards different for Jews?”

    A Concord man believes he’s a victim of government tyranny. Town Hall says he’s the tyrant

    The core of the dispute is about one point of access to the Estabrook Woods — a pristine thousand acres of forest, much of which is privately owned, that can be reached by a trail that passes by Read’s back yard.

    Some residents and neighbors have come to see Read as a crank. But for an alleged crank, he has quite the list of allies. The Massachusetts real estate bar association, the Massachusetts association of land surveyors, the counties of Barnstable and Plymouth, and the Central Massachusetts Regional Planning Commission all took his side in court when Concord sued him.

      “Today, more than 100 million Americans live in places where weapons like the AR-15 are banned or heavily restricted. Generations of ordinary citizens fought for these assault-weapon prohibitions in the wake of tragic killings on a mass scale.”

      Bullshit. Prior to the AWB, very few people owned AR-15’s. Their popularity is reactionary.

      • Common Tater

        “They say this, to be clear, in a brief asking the judges of the Supreme Court to make the decision about what weapons can be possessed over the decision of voters. Because the lower courts upheld these laws, the challengers want the justices to tell the citizens of Connecticut, Chicago, and other jurisdictions like California and New York that they cannot make fundamental judgments about public peace and safety.”

        So you understand how the Constitution works?

      • Common Tater

        “Connecticut citizens saw an AR-15-style weapon slaughter innocent 6-year-olds and acted to expand their law.”

        CT already had an assault weapons ban, and the shooter did not use an assault weapon.

    Canada is totally fucked if they become EU lite. The raft of micromanagement that led Brexit to win 3x will be on their doorstep. The US could scrap whatever serves as NAFTA and tariff them like we do Europe. The EU will want Canadian oil, but the environmental regs will drive fuel costs into the stratosphere. Their internet and phones will have to deal with EU tech regulations.

    On the other hand, Alberta could actually secede, which would be glorious.

    • Sensei

      Honestly aside from virtue signaling I can’t understand what this actually get Canada. Every article I’ve read hypothesizes something, but there has not been any tangible or explicit benefit I’ve read yet.

      And I agree if they actual did integrate into the EU I’d expect Alberta to try to secede.

      • Threedoor

        It gets Canada more taxes.

    • RAHeinlein

      Agreed – Alberta totally screwed. Trudeau was a soy-boy fool, but Carney is a genuine globalist elite – his interests aren’t with Canadians and he found a way to “blame Trump” in-time for the next round of elections for his party. Add to that the incredible level of cheating with Chinese steel/metals used for auto parts.

      • R.J.

      “But building a brand on society’s misogyny is a double-edged sword. If most men are pigs who tie a woman’s value to her looks, then it’s inevitable that their piggishness will eventually dictate that cash flow as the years drag on.”

      Misogyny is liking women.

        You should worship ugly broads…the evolutionarily hardwired preference for beauty is icky.

    Is the Leads / Submissions form still the right place to pitch a series idea to TPTB?

    I read that yesterday and immediately thought of this

      I do like the architecture, cam in block and such. Traditional designs like that have less to break.
      All the modern engine designs seem to have issues at launch so… Wait and see?

    “Rupar’s sly remarks about the cookie-cutter WASP aesthetic of Trump’s young female aides are nothing compared to the gross comments Trump himself has made about the women of his White House entourage. About 12 minutes into a speech at the Nassau County Police Academy last month, Trump started bragging about “these young, beautiful girls in the White House” and how the “gorgeous, beautiful girls” want nothing more than to lavish praise upon him.”

      The last thing a woman wants to hear is how pretty she is.

    For those who live and die by the bow-tie badge or three-letter script on the front of their trucks, this is a momentous occasion. General Motors has finally revealed the specifications of its pickup-bound sixth-generation small-block V-8 engines.

    I keep seeing headlines about a “new” Chevy V8, but nobody ever offers any detail about what might actually be new or different.

      This one has clearance for around the bearings for oil thicker than WD-40?

    Multiple sources confirmed to Ars that as early as next week, NASA will announce that it will order two additional Starliner crewed missions from Boeing, pay some of the costs to fix the spacecraft’s thruster issues, and provide support to certify the spacecraft’s launch on a new rocket.

    SpaceX got like half the money that Boeing has for it’s development.

        Welfare for bloated companies. That is congress’ job. And a big reason of why stupid people suddenly call for AI regulation from congress..

        Anthropic’s asshat has a new AI to regulate AIs it wants to sell, right after onerous government regulations (created by Anthropic’s people) go into affect t stifle competition.

        Democrats love this idea because their greatest fear is AI not made woke to hide the fact they are a crime syndicate.

    Speaking of world leaders’ health, did you know Trump had a stroke?

    Some experts analyzed a photo of him looking bored out of his skull somewhere and recognized the classic symptoms.

    Execute the 25th Amendment!

    “Portland Socialist city councilor Mitch Green came under criticism on Tuesday for a series of unearthed social media posts in which he professed “pure hatred” toward the Portland Police Bureau (PPB). Green promoted rioting, derided businesses seeking assistance, and claimed that property destruction was nonviolent, a belief commonly held by anarchists….

    Green is a member of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA).”

      Will he win reelection with a big landslide or a titanic landslide?

      Until these ratfuckers start losing elections I’m not convinced that stuff this isn’t exactly what Democrat voters want.

    Government harder, FEMA!

    As sea level rise from climate change accelerates erosion around the country, there is growing alarm among waterfront homeowners, local officials and even members of Congress. More than 30 homes have fallen into the sea in coastal North Carolina alone since 2020. Neighborhoods in Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Illinois, Virginia and California are facing similar threats. Just last week, erosion exacerbated by a storm caused catastrophic damage to multiple homes in Southern California.

    “People should not have to wait for their home to collapse into the water before they can get help,” says Rep. Chellie Pingree, D-Maine. “That is just not a smart way to deal with the reality of climate change.”

    FEMA says it cannot change the rules for threatened properties unless Congress amends the laws that govern the National Flood Insurance Program. Such a bill was introduced by a bipartisan group of lawmakers in 2025, but it is stalled in the House of Representatives.

    How about this: go ahead and build a house on the beach. When it becomes uninhabitable it’s your goddam problem and nobody else’s.

      I’m all in as I have no Flood Insurance on our shared family shore property. Can we do federal multi-peril crop insurance for our flyover friends?

        It’s happening from Guam tipping over.

    Climate change is accelerating that natural erosion unevenly. Although global warming affects the entire planet, sea levels are rising more quickly in some regions because of ocean currents and the complex dynamics of melting glaciers and ice caps. Some of the fastest sea level rise in the world is occurring on the East Coast of the United States.

    SCIENCE!

    • Grumbletarian

      Thanks to climate change, sea level will become sea unlevel!!
