The Bears surprisingly throttled Iggles. MLB’s playoffs start today with the wild card games. My predictions for those series: Chicago (AL), Boston, Atlanta, San Diego. The UEFA Nations League games keep going with several games today. And I guess that’s pretty much it for sports.
Here’s a lighthearted story to start your morning. Fantastic. Fun. Probably not the most challenging job, but that’s fine. And apparently they’re one of the only things in California that’s not funded at all by the government. So that’s good too.
Once again we get one of those “why the fuck were we paying for this in the first place” stories. I hope this one goes 6-3.
I’m shocked! But not really.
This one is crazy. I got nothing else to add.
Just in case you needed to be reminded how crazy Europe has become. For people scare-mongering endlessly about the Russian threat, they sure do seem just as hellbent on central power as the once Red Army was.
Looks like the least effective genocide ever. Or does the mainstream media not consider this part of Palestine to be Palestine?
This seems logical. I’d rather the government not get involved in business-consumer relations, but I guess if they’re going to, they may as well do something decent.
Yikes. This is awful. Assuming from the headline that it was racially motivated…but of course that’s just some bullshit to get clicks and stoke racial division.
Let them open their mouths. And they’ll tell you who they are every single time.
Thank God they’re doing this. Nobody would have ever known otherwise.
Here’s a lovely little tune. Mostly because of Johnny Marr. Here’s another one. Such pretension in the lyrics, but it’s still one of my favorites. Enjoy them both.
And enjoy this lovely Tuesday, dear friends.
The Iggles are at the very tippy top of my list of NFL teams that I want to lose every single game. Because they hired Michael Vick when he got out of prison. I was amazed the NFL even let him play again.
I grew up an Iggles fan, but I’m far from a sportsball person. So I guess I don’t have a dog in this fight.
The terrorism grift obviously pays well, but man do the Palestinian blood money set give Silicon Valley tech bros a run for their money in tackiness.
My first thought, too. Maybe not quite Colombian drug lord tacky, but close.

I’m only posting it for this chuckle-generating quote from the story:
She told officers she “could not remember any specific details” as to how the crash happened.
James said she had been driving the vehicle for a number of months and mentioned there was a feature on the Omoda that meant “it would begin to accelerate if a certain pedal was pressed whilst it was stationary”.
I had to google what an “Omoda people carrier” is. I was thinking maybe some kind of jumped-up golf cart? I wasn’t far off, as it turns out, since its an EV.
I thought it was a rejected character name from “The BFG”
No kidding. Claims to be trans, but there are no pics of him without a beard, he still has his dude name, and the article refers to him as “he” throughout.
From my reading, I think it’s a FtM troon.
McKinsey claimed Jang had tried to pull medical tubes out of his body when he was transitioning from a woman to a man in 2010,
Ah, got it. Pretty convincing conversion. I guess she was gay married to her wife, then did the trans thing? I wonder how exactly the kids showed up. And why were they still married, anyway?
Yep. I got the info from the article so I knew before I looked but I was thinking that the most convincing part might be the hairline.
Yeah, FtMs can be very convincing when stationary. The gait or voice betrays them, but testosterone is a hell of a hormone.
+1 reverse Shanghai surprise – both sexes of Asians seems to pull off the old switcheroo better than most other racial groups.
I need a flowchart or something to understand the players and the dead person. Totally screwy.
It should be considered elective surgery, and as such, not paid for by taxpayers.
Alternatively, any prisoner who wants trans status can get it only after a full round of surgery. See how many still want to jump on the bandwagon if there’s no backsies.
Years of “medically necessary” propaganda have to be reversed first. This is a good first step but obviously the Dems will reverse it at the first opportunity.
I’m gradually becoming convinced that the surgeries should simply be banned outright. I think a person seeking out this sort of extreme self harm demonstrates that they are sufficiently insane to require a guardianship.
The surgeries should not be paid for by any insurance or government program. You want it, you pay for it.
And then her nose grew three feet.
The surge in antisemitic incidents started long before then, you nitwits. Ask another communist and former Chancellor how she managed to achieve that. It’s almost like they deliberately intend to wreck anywhere they get power.

I continue to be surprised at the number of sort of alt-culture writers on SubStack who are going along, making some interesting points about the current sort of malaise afflicting the US and the West generally, and out of nowhere, completely unnecessarily, they drop some “of course its the Jooz fault” quip. It really is very reminiscent of TDS in its way.
I’ve commented once or twice that, “you know, you could removed every Jew from a position of power and the problems you discuss would be totally unaffected”. But that just triggers a dogpile of responses.
If anybody tried the slogan “From the river to the sea, Eretz Yisrael shall be free”, the reeing would be *epic*.

Oh you poor misguided child. That’s not an *authentic* black man.
The dopes on Fox News were in awe that vile communists could get so much approval even in “conservative, rural upstate New York”. 🤣😂
Marr was definitely the brains behind that outfit. Love them.
He wrote such amazing music. Still does, to be fair. But the stuff he wrote for them was incredible.
I was born in 1985 and so have vague memories of the big bad Russian bear and Iran being out to get us. Then it was Saddam, then Al Qaida, then Saddam again, then ISIS, then Russia again, and now back to Iran.

Between this and mandating AM radio in vehicles I don’t understand why people are disappointed in our Congress.
The Senate Just Passed a College Sports Law. Here’s What It Does.
The bill, which would cap athlete pay and transfers, still needs to pass the House to become law. Trump is a strong supporter.

No, my emnity is not rational. And there’s no practical way to accomplish my goal.

Bread and circuses.
They are doing a fine job of killing college sports all on their own.
The rise in apathy is palpable.
They took a very attractive “our team” model of student-athletes and turned it into 1 year mercenary contracts. Even the good teams are on shaky ground.
The vast gulf between those with billionaire sponsors and the plebes will join hands with mercenary apathy to kill the golden goose.
I had some college football on, and it seemed like every other player was a transfer.
Yeah, the financialization of everything is why everything is enshittified.
Are bills supposed to originate in the House?
The House went on vacation until after Republicans lose the midterms to avoid doing anything.

Were.
Berkshire County had a secession movement to form their own state because they didn’t like being ruled by Boston which had different politics. The western MA college towns were always crazy because they didn’t have old money and machine politics like in Cambridge to rein in their crazier tendencies.
Nowadays, Berkshire County is dominated by Democrats. The western MA college towns are just as crazy as they always have been.
You move to Western Mass when Cambridge is insufficiently left wing for you.
Much like Ithaca (where AOC and Hasan recently dazzled audiences) versus NYC.

DUBAI—Iran’s ability to choke off oil flowing through the Strait of Hormuz—and use that as leverage in talks with the U.S.—is breaking down, raising the risk it will resort to military escalation to bolster its position.

Although it very well may be a correct prediction.
The Iranians can and will drag this out for a very long time. Russia and China will help them as it is a cheap way for them to stick it to the US. It’s kind of like the Berlin Airlift.
Even if Iran’s government collapsed, whatever replaced it would be just as hostile to the US and Israel.
There’s no path to an American victory given all the constraints.

Right now, they have a theocracy on paper and de facto junta. Even if they somehow went back to having another guy like Mossadegh or the first Pahlavi, that man would have no incentive to make deals with the US.
Everyone around the world should love us – we’re the most loveable people in the world. Why won’t they? What’s wrong with them??
What they can’t do is get their oil to market, no matter what they actually manage to do to escalate. Trump is an idiot for not blockading their oil and going after their finances immediately. That’s the only way he can possibly win, and that should have been clear from the outset. I have no idea how long Iran can survive under the current sanctions and blockade.
And what exactly can Iran do that would matter, other than cutting off the Strait again (which they apparently can’t do, which is why the WSJ is moaning about escalation).
It matters that Iran has withstood enormous pressure from the US, just like Cuba and North Korea.
They scored a major victory just by not surrendering.
Iranians are also pretty good at smuggling, and oil is only half of their exports.

“Establishment consensus” is sure doing some heavy lifting there. The “establishment” there hasn’t been anything like “moderate” for decades.

“T.J. Edwards seemingly read the script.
During the third quarter of the Bears’ 27-7 win over the Eagles on “Monday Night Football,” the Chicago linebacker appeared to listen in on a play call from Jalen Hurts.

These are just some of the lawfully present immigrants living in Philadelphia who will lose federal Medicaid health insurance on Thursday, according to local organizations that work closely with refugees, asylees and others.
I want to know what “lawfully present” means. I’m assuming it doesn’t mean what it says.
https://whyy.org/articles/immigrants-medicaid-health-insurance-terminations/
I thought immigrants weren’t supposed to be getting bennies anyway.
Given that “local organizations that work closely with refugees, asylees and others” lie through their teeth constantly about this stuff, I’m sure you’re right.
Well, one out of three sounds legit.
Is Philly a sanctuary city? They could be “lawfully present” as far as the local PTB are concerned.
If it’s run by Democrats, almost certainly.
“Lawfully present” probably means under some kind of Biden-era deferred status. Its the kind of obfuscatory language that lumps together people who have done it right (green cards) and those that were imported to bolster the leftist agenda.
I gather permanent green card holders and some “asylees” (Cubans and Haitians?) can get Medicaid after a five year waiting period. But that’s about it. The ones they are whining are very likely not eligible anyway. Although I think states can give them Medicaid as long as they don’t try to get federal matching funds for it. I know, stop laughing.
Always and everywhere, the ruling class wants taxes and servants. This explains the immigration policies of many countries.
Even if they don’t get taxes or servants, they’ll settle for complacent subjects, AKA sheeple.

Participants meet city officials and receive training aimed at helping them engage with local government and organize within their communities during the 10-week program….

On the “holy cow, that is weird” front:
There is a show that I missed called “The Rehearsal” on HBO. A friend recommended it and I have to say, it is beyond anything I would have thought possible.
The premise: create exact duplicates of the scene – say a bar – where a subject confront a life-altering moment. Then hire actors to embody the people he will interact with so he can rehearse scenarios and perfectly navigate the situation.
Here is how my friend described it:
“Ok man take Andy Kaufmann’s most uncomfortable moment and multiply it by 1000 and that is this show. This guy is a mad genius. There has never been a show like this. It is a horror show that you cannot look away from. I can’t believe this is not a bigger deal.”
Bonus quote from episode 2 from one of the people he employs to stage the rehearsals:
“The government hires Sasquatch liasons”
take Andy Kaufmann’s most uncomfortable moment and multiply it by 1000 and that is this show.
Hard pass.
It is surreal and grounded all at once.
Minor Spoiler:
Episode one is about a guy who has been pretending to have a master’s degree to impress his trivia night team.
For over a decade.
He wants to come clean.
So they build a down-to-the-last-detail accurate replica of a local bar, do a fake interview with the woman on the team he is afraid of to train an actress to be able to embody her character and then rehearse his talk with her down to the very last detail. How many sips of his drink he takes, when he broaches the subject, how he greets her. Everything.
And then they film the real event. The results are… unexpected.
I kept thinking “these people really exist”.
It is the biggest twist on reality TV ever.
And yes… “hard pass” was my initial thought as well.
A: What trivia team is more impressed by a Master’s Degree than a knowlege of trivia?
B: If it matters that much why not get a Masters? They had them out like candy from the looks of modern academia.
C: There is no way the actors are going to reflect the reactions of the real people.
All true. And the reality is more bizarre than you expect.
I don’t get it.

It still looks a little bloated for a Z, but nice.
Are they offering a computer-free model? Just give me an electrically simple V8 or inline 6 and I’m interested.
Wouldn’t that be nice.
I just had a problem with a Chevrolet. Left turn signal fast blinking intermittently. No burned out bulbs located.
It turns out, they do the fast blink by computer now.
The click and fast blink used to be side effects of the mechanical switch that operated the blinking, using heat from the current to turn the bulb on and off, making the click.
Now they use computers and voltage sensors to tell them if a bulb is out and make the lights blink with computer commands.
So….
It was either a faulty sensor, wiring issue, or faulty computer.
It was a corroded connection in the rear taillight assembly.
They charge $250 for a diagnostic screening these days – plugging in an ODB2 reader and finding out that the computer cant see the rear taillight.
Luckily, it was under warranty.

Yes, that’s a throwback to some of the 1st Gen Broncos. It’s nice to see something different for a change.
Look who can have a seat right over there
“EXCLUSIVE: Former WPATH President Linked to Multiple Pro-Pedophilia Academics and Activists Over Several Decades, Previously Advocated for Sex Offender Rights
Reduxx can reveal that a leading figure behind the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH), an organization which promotes the medical ‘transitioning’ of children, has a long history of working with pro-pedophile academics. Eli Coleman, a former WPATH president who oversaw and influenced the Standards of Care for transgender medical protocols for decades, has professional ties to multiple academics who either defended or advocated favorably for adult-child sexual relations, and had himself previously drafted Standards of Care for sex offenders……”

A patriot and a hero
Jack Smith, the former special counsel who orchestrated the federal criminal cases against Donald Trump, plans to tell the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday morning that he stands by his decision to bring charges against the president — arguing that his investigations “developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in criminal activity.”
Smith has faced unrelenting criticism from Republicans for presiding over what they view as partisan and flawed inquiries; some, including Trump, have called for him to be jailed. Yet Smith, in his opening prepared remarks obtained in advance by POLITICO, will maintain he made the right decision to prosecute Trump — both for his alleged role in trying to overturn the 2020 presidential election results that led to the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack, and for his alleged unlawful retention of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago.
“If asked whether to prosecute a former President based on the same facts today, I would do so regardless of whether that President was a Republican or a Democrat,” Smith plans to say, according to his written testimony.

Every true patriot needs a good PR campaign.
He’ll be like Christ on the cross in that hearing room.
He isnt the guy you want on the rack. They needed to grill the staffers. They dontnhave the huge political connections and funding to weather the storm.
Bring charges against a legal secretary or paralegal and offer a deal. Work your way up the the General Flynn moment.
Not sure why they cannot see this. The dems have been doing it for decades.
proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in criminal activity.”
That was never actually revealed? Because I don’t remember any such proof.
They had 80% proof that there was a criminal conspiracy to entrap and frame trump by political operatives. He just… somehow… stopped asking questions that lead in that direction.
This is why I suspect “they are all in on it in some way”.
The questions not asked. The rocks not overturned.
Trump nearly got assassinated.
And nobody bothered to ask the head of the secret service “who told you to say the roof was too steep to put agents on that roof?” That is the first thread to pull.
Yet nobody pulls it.
All of the recent scandals have obvious questions that nobody asks. Which makes you wonder, why not ask?
I fear the answer might be closer to why post-assasination and prosecution Trump is so much more amenable to “police action” military strikes than term 1 Trump… who famously risked WWIII by not invading Iran.
Smith will note that grand juries in two separate districts reached the same conclusion his investigation did. He also will reflect that the country is facing “challenges unlike any we have experienced in our lifetime” as U.S. citizens are routinely threatened with indictments because they are seen as opposing Trump.
Mad King Donald is an existential threat. Off with his head.
Not anymore. Now he funds Ukrain, attacks Iran and police actions places like Venezuela. And the attacks are miraculously muted, transferring to trivial executive actions instead of rogue prosecutors bringing ludicrous criminal prosecutions.
New Nissan Z T-Top Revealed!
not really a T top fan but I like the callback to the original silhouette.

“Riley Gaines has suffered a major setback in her battle against transgender athletes in women’s sports after a federal judge dismissed her lawsuit against the NCAA.
In a ruling handed down on Monday, United States District Judge Tiffany R. Johnson concluded that the NCAA is not subject to Title IX regulations because it does not qualify as a recipient of federal financial assistance.”

Technically, that’s true.
“The NCAA generates most of its revenue from media rights tied to the Division I Men’s Basketball Championship. Additional revenue comes from ticket sales, corporate partnerships and other championship events across all divisions.”

Police investigate after toddler pulls out loaded gun at Michigan daycare

How old is “toddler”?
Too heavy a trigger pull, needs gunsmith care.
Children are much better for crew served weapons.
Of course they are.
Since they were already likely strip searching for peanut products it’s not a huge ask.
That is the rational response. I mean, this happens a dozen times every century.
The punchline:
But it wasn’t a service weapon!
Whycome you hate our heroes in blue?

That habit, called a consonant bias, was thought to be uniquely human. It hasn’t even been found in primates, which are much more closely related to us. But a study published in Science found it in dogs.

Gee, a species who spent 15,000 being selectively bred to live alongside humans has developed traits that make them better suited to live alongside humans?

Today in what the fuck is going on on the internet, conversations over the question are gay and racist equally genetic
Well being white is racist, and that’s more genetic than gay.
Nuh uh! SCIENCE sez there’s no biological component to race!
The way genetic traits cluster I’d be more surprised if there were not aspects more true about any given phenotype relative to the others.
But find me the racism gene, please.

So now they’re trying to blow up the Cornell gang rape story. Which, forgive me, sounds a lot like remorse rape. How the fuck do I know?
However. Things (and kids) these days being what they are, if this horrible thing really happened, I think we can safely assume multiple people were recording it on their phones and shipping it off to who knows where. Where is the video evidence?
No one knows besides the people that were there.
The issue is, she gave a statement at the time that the popo decided didn’t amount to rape. Admittedly, cops aren’t always the best at charactering whether or not specific acts are crimes.
““Back in November of 2024, my office reviewed a very detailed, six-page, single-spaced statement that was carefully provided by Jane Doe,” the DA said.”

Open season on the quiltbag community
The final regulation is the Trump administration’s effort to clean up the regulatory books to formally repeal the Biden-era rule and reimplement the first Trump administration’s rule on Title IX, which mandated how schools must respond to reports of sexual misconduct through a formal process.
That included requiring colleges to respond to formal complaints with courtroom-like hearings and allowing representatives for alleged offenders and survivors to call witnesses, challenge their credibility and assess evidence. The rule also changed the government’s definition of sexual harassment and allowed schools to use a higher standard of proof in campus disciplinary proceedings compared to the Obama-era guidance.
Obama freed them. Trump is putting them back in chains.
she gave a statement at the time that the popo decided didn’t amount to rape.
“At the time” was three weeks later, apparently.
Three weeks of “when are we going to do that again?” pestering from the frat yobs?
