The Brewers are on the brink of a World Series. And a sweep of the Dodgers, no less. The Indians and Devil Rays will play game 3 tonight. There wasn’t much else going on yesterday in American sports, Across the pond, Man City got doubled up by PSG, Liverpool doubled up LASK, Real beat Roma, Stuttgart won at Bratislava on a field that was beat to death by Enrique Iglesias fans, and Bodo Glimt beat Dortmund. And that’s it for sports.
What did they expect to happen? The company has said all along that they weren’t to be used to make war with. Meanwhile, Rico Suave is a fan of more war.
Here’s the good kind of fascism, I guess. This is in no way a surprise. And neither is the cheering it on from the left.
Sounds like a successful canary trap. Just need to wait and see who gets fired.
Wait, he was personally supposed to handle it? Sounds like they don’t want any kind of due process. And first of all, this should have only been handled by law enforcement. Second, the school has a Title IX department that did its job. The people complaining should talk to them.
They’ll find a way to keep her out of office. By hook or by crook. Because it’s what they do.
Hey, whatever works. Although I don’t want to go to the gym and see a bunch of boners.
This will be interesting, though probably not highly covered in a session full of other big cases. I don’t see how it won’t be 9-0 since the word “tape” is right there in the law. But it’ll probably be 6-3 because three of the justices are mentally retarded.
LOL, this guy is great. We should grant him asylum after he’s found guilty.
They need to criminally charge the staffers. That would accelerate things and I have no doubt a couple of them would rapidly seek immunity for their testimony. I was on the fence before on whether they’d actually do anything about this, but now I’m thinking they’re going all the way with this one.
I respect her for sticking to her principles. The “blood on my hands” is a bit over the top, but she has a point. Good for her.
Gotta love that voice. Such a weird guy with weird lyrics, but such great songs. Here’s another one. Enjoy them both.
And enjoy this lovely Thursday, dear friends.
Here’s the good kind of fascism, I guess. This is in no way a surprise. And neither is the cheering it on from the left.
As long as it is only bad people who deserve it it is ok.
As if anyone expects some kind of principle out of people of the left.
Wait, he was personally supposed to handle it? – join in in student orgies to make sure everything is good.
They’ll find a way to keep her out of office. By hook or by crook. Because it’s what they do.
The cordon sanitaire must hold at all costs.
The new domino theory.
The firewall has already fallen in Germany, France usually falls next.
Hey, whatever works. – it also prevents heart attacks it seams.
Viagra was discovered when researchers were looking for a treatment for angina.
Talk about throwing red meat in front of the Justices.
I respect her for sticking to her principles. The “blood on my hands” is a bit over the top, but she has a point.
I blame out of control libertarianism leading to gambling legalization
It should be legal but I am disgusted how every team, league, and I guess now broadcaster is balls-deep in gambling. How is that not a conflict of interest?!
“balls-deep in cheerleaders not in gambling.”
Right there with you. You want people to stop thinking games are fixed, stop partnering with sports books.
I am genuinely curious how Inrique Iglesias developed such a large fanbase in the former eastern bloc.
search me. The same as Spanish language telenovelas I assume.
Are they really popular there as well?
they were 20+ years ago. In the meantime they were at least somewhat replaced by turkish or korean equivalents.
Are Turkish chicks hot?
Are Turkish chicks hot? – not particularly. not if you compare to Eastern European chicks.
Is that like David Hasselhoff in Germany?
His video for “Du” in EuoroTrip was hilarious.
I’m sure this is already a common practice at specific gyms.
Not my neighborhood gym, which is predominantly occupied by boomer men and women just trying to keep fit.
Try one frequented by younger dudes, perhaps in San Francisco.
As I said yesterday regarding Shane Gillis’ comments, what would the response be if men were dressing to show off their packages?
I certainly am!
plot twise, Pie took a holiday job as a UPS driver. They’re not actually his packages.
I find it insane how UPS drivers wear those stupid brown shorts in summer. In Romania any other delivery service has the people wear a shirt with a logo, they wear whatever pants they want.
Something like this?
Like these?

The war must go on.
Mocking him mercilessly was one of the enjoyments of the old place.
The people complaining want heads to roll and the president has a head. It doesn’t matter what he “did” or “knew”.
I may be getting my own desk spot on a 3-5 person ‘bench’ today. Didn’t get to do too much shadowing yesterday, but I have done the actual process before. Just gotta have access to Workbench to do it myself, and learn how the system is kinda laid out, all the steps, etc.
It’s a ridiculously easy gig, though nothing was wrong w any of the VIN + lien/etc docs when I was shadowing. The 60/hr –> 220/hr doc quota makes absolute sense. Each one is a 10sec process max if nothing is amiss. It’s Lucy in the chocolate factory, but much easier, no melting, and.. just… ridiculous. Not in a bad way, but it’s kinda like putting in individual slips into pre-baked fortune cookies, but with important docs.
This is very bizarre. I don’t this to be my ‘destination’ job, but I’ll def see how it goes for now and make bank, considerably more than any gig I’ve had in the last four years. It’s the same as the Peru Tribune, oddly, at $40k/yr, but hourly. Absolutely a place to make money and save, and *possibly* room for upward advance, but others in the gig don’t seem to want to move up. My trainer’s been there for 4 years in the same gig, mostly 40s-50s black ladies, but not all. I’m again the only dude in this role! (Ha!)
Onward and up, folk. Be good and well. (Don’t do anything *I* wouldn’t do, which… well. That advice doesn’t help much, does it?)
So you’re getting benched. :-p
Yep, far away from the one cutie. Grrrg.
She’s smoking w two other gals outside as I park now. I’ll let them have gal time, but I’d like to slip in some time. Ooh. Euphemism is optimistically euphemistic…
Unpopular opinion; No one – literally not a soul – actually enjoys the taste of beer. Not a single human. Those who claim to enjoy beer, don’t actually. It’s really just a social ritual, a form of self deception… the impact of decades of stacked marketing to convince you that beer is anything but an alcohol delivery mechanism. You can enjoy getting sloshed. You can enjoy the social liberation that alcohol offers. You can enjoy the party. But don’t act like you actually like the taste of beer. You don’t. You might think you do. But you don’t. Because it tastes like it looks: bitter dehydrated piss, with bubbles. In the case of Guinness, like diarrhea, with bubbles. And you know it.
https://x.com/danushman/status/2110044470204875213
ofttimes people will say a popular opinion prefixed with “unpopular opinion”. I am not sure this is one of those times.
Not just an unpopular opinion, but incorrect.
I really enjoy the flavor of some beers. Particularly a good brown ale.
The guy must have immature taste buds.
He wouldn’t have bitter taste receptors. Must be a lizard person.
They can’t be that immature. He apparently knows what shit and piss taste like.
Looks like we’ve stumbled upon Ted’s burner account.
Hateful®.
No one. Literally not a soul – actually enjoys the taste of coconut. Not a single human. Those who claim to enjoy coconut, don’t actually. It’s really just a social ritual, a form of self-deception…
Tallahassee: “I hate coconut. Not the taste, consistency”
I’m mainly a whiskey drinker but I enjoy a beer every once in awhile especially with dinner.
I too am unclear about how the President of a university should handle a rape accusation other than cooperating with the police in the investigation.
They’ve already set themselves up to be sued by the men who have been accused.
We’re still in the fog of hysterical shrieking – just look at that pic of the protestors for a sample.
Nothing is actually known – it’s just feels.
Maybe the freakout will die down after the election.
“Maybe the freakout will die down after the election.”
They’ll definitely try to drag it out until then.
The men aren’t getting a cent from Lucy Craig, Cornell, or the State. Not in that jurisdiction.
I think Cornell will settle, just like countless other schools in very blue states have settled.
many unis are surrounded by farmers, and they don’t hold much love for college admin shenanigans.
You mean the “town versus gown” divide is eternal?
Ithaca is surrounded by a whole county of old hippies and other trash that tend to cluster around big schools.
You won’t find a lot of farmers until you hit the surrounding counties.
The harridans at the heart of this want “believe all women” to be enshrined in the constitution.
Yet they will disbelieve women who are inconvenient to the narrative. Fuck ’em.
Yet Sydney Sweeney is hated by them for being sexy. Scolds gonna scold.
The Muslim Greens have produced a guide on ‘Islamophobia’ that decrees it racist to question the Koran, to criticise Islam’s treatment of women and to hold Green Party events at the pub. Literally anything can be ‘Islamophobic’ now, says Heydon Prowse
https://www.spiked-online.com/2026/10/14/literally-anything-can-be-islamophobic-in-green-la-la-land/
3) Saying that Islam isn’t a massive fan of the gays
Not a single Muslim country in the world permits or recognises same-sex marriage or lets gay couples adopt. But according to the Muslim Greens, this is all the fault of the Brits.
The guidance says: ‘Queerphobic legislation in many Muslim-majority countries is deeply tied to colonialism.’ Apparently, the British Empire made them do it and has forced them to continue doing it enthusiastically ever since.
“Racist” is just the new Worst Thing Ever that is convenient to apply to the rest of the world when what they really mean is “heretical” or some similar word which is how they have justified the centuries of slaughter and conquest that their faith demands of them.
https://philosophy.institute/religions-of-the-world/islam-global-demographics-arab-identity/
Yep. Islam sure is a singular race.
I don’t see how that “demonstrates” that at all. If anything, “conquest” would be easier along trade routes.
They really don’t understand that real racism is going to come back a lot worse than what it was before, do they?
There’s no such thing as islamophobia – it’s all rational
Both wings in that party believe in the “total state” whatever lies they tell themselves. As a lot of people have pointed out, the non-Muslim Greens won’t be useful for long if the alliance somehow takes control.
Ask the Iranian leftists that wanted the Shah overthrown – oh, you can’t because they are all dead or in exile.
“Can’t hold Green events at the pub”
Normal pub goers breathe a sigh of relief. That at least gives them one place free of screeching harpies.
“Although I don’t want to go to the gym and see a bunch of boners.”
That’s sexist, unless you call them whores.
“Mr Apted said his defence representatives must produce a report confirming his case that “a male person who is considering moving to Islam can wear a burka in public in order to better understand the religion and enable that person to make an informed decision about observing that religion”.”
He could just claim he is also trans.
Paywalled. Does it explain why he can’t wear a burka?
I just turned off Javascript.
In England you can’t protest while wearing a face covering.
I’m guessing there’s an exception to that rule for Muslim women.
R C Dean:
How did you guess?
He did at the protest.
Elon making an important point about AI that nobody will listen to.
https://x.com/firesidealpha/status/2110594098352800162
AI has no concept of truth.
Correct. But it does recognize conflicting instructions and data.
“ But let me tell you how things can potentially go wrong in AI. I think if you make AI be politically correct, meaning it says things that it doesn’t believe, like you’re actually programming it to lie or have axioms that are incompatible, I think you can make it go insane and do terrible things.”
We have already seen what the politically correct (woke) movement does to people. Of course it would do the same to AI.
“I’m sorry Dave, I can’t do that.”
“If they can make you believe absurdities, they can make you commit atrocities.”
-Voltaire, by way of Norman Lewis Torrey
“Telling a computer contradictory things makes it go insane” is a particularly retarded invention of 1950s scifi.
He would have opened the doors for a black lesbian.
“but now I’m thinking they’re going all the way with this one”
As far as I can tell she’s guilty of immigration fraud three times over.
1. She was 18 or over.
2. Her father was ineligible for refugee status under the perpetrator clause.
3. He lied about his name.
If they revoke her citizenship, she becomes a resident. She should lose her House seat (if they follow the law), but it would still take years to deport her.
I doubt she’ll face Minnesota charges for marrying her obviously gay brother, because Minnesota.
I’m pretty sure denaturalization leads to deportation, not mere resident status.
IAAINAL, after losing citizenship she would revert to her previous status, then after her residency is revoked, she can appeal, after the appeal fails, she gets to apply for a visa, then after her visa application is denied, she can appeal because physically present, then after her appeal is rejected, there is a deportation order, which she can appeal although by then her only right is habeas corpus, then after that appeal is rejected, ERO might get around to deporting her….
I’m not so sure.
Last Denaturalization case I saw, once she was found to have lied on her paperwork and the appeals of the denaturalization trial were up, she was booted PDQ.
All of that can (and should) take place while Omar is enjoying the delights of the Federal correctional system.
Someone posted yesterday about a whole web of fraud involving various tribes selling papers to each or some such nonsense, false names, and such. I hope they dig into all of that.
If you’re a straight Episcopal priest who cheats on your wife, that’s a sin. If you then deny that it’s a sin to your bishop, you get defrocked.
If you’re a gay married Episcopal priest, that’s of course a completely different situation.

Good morning all!
From the DedThred (because snakes are my second favorite topic in the world, just behind shooting):
Also a myth. All venomous snakes have complete control over injecting their venom, right from birth or hatching. The only exceptions would be some of the rear-fanged snakes where the venom component is literally their saliva, but those snakes generally aren’t a health threat to humans.
Statistically, across the board, a bite from a venomous snake is about 30% likely to be a dry bite.
Usually it’s a long tail. 😉😉😉
In the “I want to share this neat fact” rather than “well acktchually”
Snakes have short tails and long bodies. Tails are defined as not containing vital organs. So the snake tail is from vent to tip, and is a small portion of the length, as much of it contains various organs.
This is true.
Also with many snakes, it’s possible to get a good idea of the sex by looking at the length of the tail. Long thicc tapered tails are usually male (the tail needs room to contain the hemipenes), while shorter skinny tails are usually female.
This probably only matters to breeders, and possibly the snakes themselves.
Question for the fermenters:
I tried this, and it says “zero sugar” on the can:
https://shopciders.com/orchard_hill_cider_mill/bone_dry_hard_cider_51430
Is it actually possible to ferment out all the sugars from your starting juice/mash? It’s not my favorite but I do like it. The local brewpub makes a “dry” but not this dry cider that also has a very pronounced tartness which this is missing. I’m assuming that’s a product ot the apples though and not the process.
It’s possible, it requires robust yeast and low starting sugars. I’ve had a couple of beers ferment to below 1.000 SG. I don’t believe apples contain any unfermentable sugars (unlike malt), so I can believe it’s possible.
“The alleged assault at UChicago took place in the early hours of Sunday during a rowdy party at the Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity house in Hyde Park, The New York Times reported.
The woman, 21, was not a student of the university but attended the party alongside her pal Mia Lara, 21, and another friend after seeing it advertised on the frat’s Instagram…
After searching the house, Lara found a small group of men cheering outside a locked bathroom door in the basement, “saying things like, ‘When’s it my turn?’ and ‘I want to go in there’” she told the Times….
The university said Tuesday it had identified a “person of interest” in the assault who has since been banned from campus.
Chicago police said they are investigating the sexual assault accusations and confirmed the victim went to the hospital for treatment. No arrests had been made as of Wednesday evening.”

@peterboghossian
My French friend told me, with despair, “Why are so many Americans gleeful about what’s happening to France? We look at America as a friend. We would never do the same if you were in trouble.”
https://x.com/peterboghossian/status/2110532752080818413
I am not American so can’t say. But I have a suspicion many are not gleeful of the collapse of France per se but more as an I told you so kinda of a thing. Some Americans said the America should be more like Europe. Others disagreed. What happens in Europe now can make the latter gleeful because they can say “see I was right”
Anyhoo. France shall rise from the ashes. And there will be a lot of ashes to rise from.
I would say that you’re largely correct.
To the extent that I think about anyone other than myself, I feel quite bad about what’s happening to France. But, when you fuck with the bull you get the horns, and there’s no bigger bull than economics.
A lot of Europeans (and Canadians) would in fact cheer.
true.
until the shit hits the fan here due to the repercussions at least.
What my reaction has been is tentatively hopeful. It’s disruptive enough that France could change course and begin exporting the invasive migrants (or sending them on speed dates with Madame Guillotine) and recover from it’s century of socialistic malaise.
Today I learned a new Americanese word
Acroamatic is an adjective that means esoteric, abstruse, or communicated orally to a select, initiated group of listeners rather than published or shared publicly
As opposed to achromatic, which means, ‘without color.’
I love English!
Who told you the secret word? Only those of the third circle are supposed to know this!
