¡Martes por la tarde, enlaces mexicanos!

So I drive my kids to school, get to my final destination and find my tire was chewed up by a gremlin.

Somehow I didn’t die—or even lose tire pressure. So I am now at a Llantera (Mexican-owned tire shop) getting a tire thrown on with approximately 6 months of wear on the tread.

¡enlaces!

While I will be the first to admit this event was really funny, people actually did die.

In news that is likely too local, Joe Arpaio is not dead.

i love how much mental energy is being expended over words on a map.

This is actually a really big deal. Colombia is currently a great place for passport bros.

I had my concerns until I got here:

A joint statement signed by more than a dozen rights organisations, including Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, demanded her immediate release.

Please for the love of all that is holy, put him in a Mexican prison.

This is how I knew I was old. I had to explain to my kids this guy was the biggest name in music. He got Eddie Van Halen to come up with this riff. Have a great Tuesday!

    I saw the documentary. MJ ripped off WA.

    By midsummer 2026, taxpayers are projected to pay $289 million in compliance costs for the sheriff’s office alone, plus another $23 million on legal costs and $36 million for a staff of policing professionals who monitor the agency’s progress in complying with the overhauls.

    Someone has a not too bad grift.

    But in one part of the video produced by Full Circle Media, which has received more than 60 million views in a week, MrBeast advertises a chocolate product as a “Mayan dessert” and urges viewers to buy it.

    Is it moldy?

    • J. Frank Parnell

      That’s dumb. Everyone knows Mayan civilization was in the jungle, not the desert.

    I can access the site on mobile, but not PC.

    I blame the French.

      Looks like we’re in for some intermittent access issues, Webdom is aware and keeping a baleful eye on it.

      • Aloysious

        So you’re saying it’s okay to start bombing Froggy?

        First, let me liberate their cheese.

        It is criminal that I can’t find the clip from Death Race 2000: “It was the FRENCH!”

        We reached our allocated Misinformation Limit in some European countries.

    I am now at a Llantera (Mexican-owned tire shop) getting a tire thrown on

    They didn’t try to browbeat you into buying four new tires because “You have to replace them s a full set or terrible things will happen!” reasons?

    • mexican sharpshooter

      Yes they did.

    • SDF-7

      Looks like sidewall dry rot to me… very lucky it didn’t blow out at speed.

      • Aloysious

        It’s but a scratch.

        Aint no thang. Stick some duck tape on it.

      You want me to pay for AAA?

      “What’d you like, Normie?”
      “A reason to live. Give me another beer.”

      “What’s the story, Norm?”
      “Boy meets beer. Boy drinks beer. Boy meets another beer.”

      “What’s going on, Mr. Peterson?”
      “A flashing sign in my gut that says, ‘Insert beer here.'”

      He always came in with a joke. So I’m making sure that’s the way he Wendt.

    It’s about fucking time

    Senate Republicans will move this week to nix California’s vehicle emission waivers, Senate Majority Leader John Thune said, setting up a high-stakes fight over the chamber’s rules.

    Thune said in a Tuesday floor speech that he will move forward with three House-passed resolutions that use the Congressional Review Act to roll back EPA waivers that effectively let California set its own emission standards. Thune’s announcement comes after weeks of internal deliberations within the conference and public pressure from members of his leadership team to hold a vote.

    The “emergency” is past.

    There is apparently a big fight over technicalities and nitpicky jargon based distinctions. A bunch of nonsense about whether or not the filibuster applies.

    • ZWAK, doktor of BRAIN SCIENCE!

      If they do that, and now that McStain isn’t there to stop them, I will hold my nose and vote R.

    • Rat on a train

      I’m more worried about being run down by a guy in a wheelchair.

      • The Other Kevin

        In San Francisco, with those hills? You should.

      • JaimeRoberto (carnitas/spicy salsa)

        In SF the sex worker and the guy in the wheelchair are probably the same person.

      • Rat on a train

        The bottom sign must be a pedo chasing a kid.

      • JaimeRoberto (carnitas/spicy salsa)

        Are you calling cyclists pedos?

      • Rat on a train

        pedo is short for pedalist?

  8. rhywun

    Eight years after Arpaio was voted out, taxpayers in Maricopa County are still paying legal and compliance bills from the crackdowns. The tab is expected to reach $352 million by midsummer 2026, including $34 million approved Monday by the county’s governing board.

    Exactly where are these fantastic amounts of money being sprayed? And why is it just going up and up?

    • R.J.

      Lawfare.

  9. Ownbestenemy

    The Donald picking a fight with Massie is idiotic.

    The FAA is jumping on the ‘AI’ train…with shit data. Im up for the challenge and trying to get a detail to clean that data up.

    • R.J.

      He picks a fight with Massie every month, like clockwork…

      • R.J.

        Almost like it is a cycle of some sorts…

      • SDF-7

        Are you implying they just don’t get along — period?

      • EvilSheldon

        Pre-Massie Syndrome?

      • Aloysious

        DT should just go with the flow.

      • JaimeRoberto (carnitas/spicy salsa)

        Whenever he feels his blood rising he should tamp on it.

  10. Shpip

    Since the profiling verdict, the sheriff’s office has been criticized for disparate treatment of Hispanic and Black drivers in a series of studies of its traffic stops.

    Never mentioned: the disparate behavior of Mexican and black drivers when stopped, or the disparate likelihood of them having active warrants.

  11. rhywun

    i love how much mental energy is being expended over words on a map.

    What is even the purpose of this petty bullshit?

    • R.J.

      It’s hilarious for one thing.

    • mexican sharpshooter

      It creates more pettiness but directed at something that doesn’t actually matter..

    • Evan from Evansville

      My honest guess/ hope? Laser pointer distraction dots for the Useful Idiots to froth over. Overwhelms them. Expends their time and mental abilities, what little they have, on bullshit, all so they can’t focus on the important shit being done.

      I haven’t heard a froth about the CA car regs being stopped. Seems they’d care. But they were too busy catching that laser RIGHT OVER THERE! .. so an Executive volley went over their heads, unnoticed.

      I’d love for this to be the Oval Office pitch meeting

    • Suthenboy

      You have never been in a dick measuring contest, have you?

  12. Evan from Evansville

    Trump’s was live answering questions from journos about the “Golden dome” he’s pushing for the Space Force. Damn, it’s refreshing to see someone in the Oval Office who can maintain coherent sentences on the fly. (Gotta burn, for Dems. Internally, natch. They’d never admit it.)

    The change in sentience between Biden and Trump is mighty rankling for Blue. They walked themselves into a predictable problem, hoisted by their own retard when mindless Joe revealed himself in the debate. So journos were either unbelievably bad at their jobs, or they were in on the whole scheme by *not* reporting it. (Perfect time for Both!)

    Sincerest internet thanks, WebDom.

    • R.J.

      Indeed! Three cheers for WebDom!

  13. The Late P Brooks

    Zombie merger

    The companies face a May 21 deadline for the completion of a fresh national security review of their proposed tie-up, which was blocked by Biden on national security grounds in January following a prior review. Trump would then have 15 days to decide the fate of the transaction, although the timeline could slip.

    It is unclear if the billions in new investment will be enough to sway Trump, though two other sources said his administration sought the increased investment.

    The new pledge should be enough to entice the Trump administration to approve the merger, said Nick Klein, a lawyer from DLA Piper.

    “Increased investment to expand steel production in the United States is critical to our national security. I think the Trump administration recognizes this and will approve the deal, Klein said.

    This time for sure!

    • rhywun

      IIRC this was a win-win for all sides.

      Literally nobody else was going to come in and spend money on American steel production.

  14. The Late P Brooks

    The FAA is jumping on the ‘AI’ train…with shit data.

    Oddly enough, I was just looking at some AI headline and thinking, “Sure that will work, with a big enough team of humans doing data entry and designing the model.”

    • Rat on a train

      More anti-Democracy from SCOTUS.

    • Grumbletarian

      Two liberal justices—Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson—noted their dissent.

      Jackson wrote that Libby hadn’t met the high bar for emergency relief, noting that the First U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals was “moving quickly” to hear her claims, and that there weren’t “any significant legislative votes scheduled in the upcoming weeks” in the Maine legislature.

      Blocking insignificant votes is okay though?

  15. Rat on a train

    Why is this the first time I’ve heard of the Wienie 500?

    • bacon-magic

      Are you entering the competition? *flexes

      • SDF-7

        Why would he want to get into another rat race he hasn’t trained for?

      • Rat on a train

        I stopped training during COVID.

    • Aloysious

      I’d watch a bunch of wienie-mobiles go head to head in a demolition derby.

      • SDF-7

        I don’t know man… sounds like a bit of a sausage party to me. Not my thing — but if you’re into it, you do you.

      • JaimeRoberto (carnitas/spicy salsa)

        C’mon, SDF. Don’t be such a brat.

    • Shpip

      Me: Indianapolis is hosting a competition for fastest wiener in the country.

      Wife: Boy, thirty years ago you would’ve been a real contender for the title.

  16. Gustave Lytton

    80 year old male with a personal physician and annual exams last had prostate test twelve years ago. Sure.

    • The Other Kevin

      Of course, they would only do the bare minimum for an 80 year old man who was the President of the US.

      • R.J.

        And they never did any bloodwork for 12 years. Sure.

  17. Sensei

    Best Politico headline.

    Putin and microplastics threaten bees’ survival

    • Suthenboy

      Yeah that is eels and hovercraft territory.

  18. The Late P Brooks

    Headline:

    Joe Biden had unrivaled medical care. How did his cancer go undetected?

    How precious.

    • Sensei

      Just like his lack of mental acuity.

      • Suthenboy

        This. Their little coup/usurpation is transparent as hell. They did it because they have gotten away with cheating so many times they thought they could keep pushing and keep pushing. If there are no consequences this time next time will be worse.

    • creech

      Fox reported he hadn’t had a prostate cancer test since 2014. “Not recommended for men once they turn 70.” He probably wishes now he asked for a finger up the butt and a psa test a little more often.

      • rhywun

        “Not recommended for men once they turn 70.”

        I can’t imagine why not.

      • Evan from Evansville

        “I can’t imagine why not.”

        Beware what lies within. Don’t wanna open Pandora’s ass.

      • JaimeRoberto (carnitas/spicy salsa)

        Given that someone had a hand up that puppet’s ass for four years, you’d think they would have discovered it sooner.

  19. The Late P Brooks

    Why is this the first time I’ve heard of the Wienie 500?

    Genius!

  20. rhywun

    I don’t know what a passport bro is, but I am kind of amused at yet another country drifting into the warm, embracing arms of the CCP.

    Just don’t come crying to us when they get done bleeding you dry.

    • Evan from Evansville

      I’ve never heard it, either, but I suppose I’m half of one: ‘”Passport bro” is a term referring to Western men who travel to developing countries, particularly in Asia and Latin America, to find wives or partners.”

      Where do I ‘fit’ in? I had a Singaporean gf for a bit. Plenty of vending machine sex in Korea. I had to get extra pages added to my passport cuz it was too full. (That took several months to process.)

      “The term implies they are seeking women who they perceive as more traditional and willing to conform to patriarchal roles.” Flag on the field: Assumption without evidence. (Partly true, IMO, but rather guys who struck out at home and found someone abroad and married there. Western citizenship is a huge draw for gals.) Several of my expat friends have wives, families and careers over there, still. Good on them.

  21. The Late P Brooks

    Things nobody expected:

    New Orleans jail employee arrested, accused of helping mass escape of inmates

    I, for one, am completely taken aback.

  22. SDF-7

    Speaking of China – I’m willing to expand my preference of “embargo them until they change their government / labor practices” to Canada as well — embargo them until they oh… I don’t know… stop killing those they think are undesirable?

    The pamphlet in question appears to be on the “anti” side and political… but if the “kids can be signed up for MAiD without parental consent” is accurate… that’s beyond the pale.

    • Sensei

      Wow…

      MAiD in Canada not the meaning you expect.

      • JaimeRoberto (carnitas/spicy salsa)

        I was hoping for a French Canadian Maid.

      • Evan from Evansville

        Yvette is mine.

        Impose? I’ll defend her and you’ll be found in the somewhere, killed by the something.

  23. Aloysious

    After watching Michael Jackson Beat It, it occurred to me that I’ve watched or listened to Wierd Al Eat It a million times over MJ.

    Also, I have no idea what “show them hot funky” means.

    • Gustave Lytton

      Now I feel like picking up a Kaiser roll.

    • ron73440

      I am the same way with Gangster Paradise and Ridin’ Dirty.

      I listened to the originals once, but I’m not sure I made it all the way through either of them.

    • Rat on a train

      Michael likes his food spicy?

  24. UnCivilServant

    my tire was chewed up by a gremlin.

    I wasn’t aware any of those cars were still on the road. Was it badly damaged in the run-in with your tire?

    • ron73440

      It was the same gremlin Shatner saw.

  25. The Late P Brooks

    the “kids can be signed up for MAiD without parental consent”

    For some reason I am reminded of the Philip K Dick story The Pre-Persons.

  26. The Late P Brooks

    I wasn’t aware any of those cars were still on the road.

    One or two

  27. Suthenboy

    OK…plumber left.

    The lawyer thing in El Salvador is a bit concerning. Still, not surprising and not my country.

    I dont know anything about Mr. Beast. Seems like the usual Mexican shenanigans to me. He should ignore them.

    • mexican sharpshooter

      You’ve never heard of Mr. Beast?

      You’re just going to have to trust me on this, let them throw him in Mexican prison.

      • Suthenboy

        Very well. off to the Mexican slammer he should go

      • rhywun

        Some rich dude with a pedo smile – that’s all I know.

  28. Suthenboy

    Joe Bidens sudden cancer – someone reminded us this morning that Joe told us three years ago he had cancer and that got buried.

    Remember this gem? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGRnhBmHYN0

    Maybe we should have listened.

    • rhywun

      Meh, I am pretty sure he was unartfully (and falsely) trying to suggest that he put in a place an “anti voter-fraud” organization.

      • Suthenboy

        What he was trying to say? I was referring to what he said. What he said that he wasn’t supposed to say and got himself hidden away in a basement so he would not try to say something else that would let the cat out of the bat.

        When the doddering senescent fool said that out loud there were a million rationalizations about why he did not say what he said just like when he said he had cancer. Now we know he had cancer.
        The truth of it is they cheated their asses off.

    • Evan from Evansville

      I agree with Rhy. This is him saying he’s building the biggest ever scheme to *stop* voter fraud. Duh, they never did that, but that’s not an egregious slip of grammar –>meaning. The did encourage illegal voting, prodding it along w/o the consent of NYC hotels and more.

      I don’t like these attacks cuz there’s better fruit to grasp. More concrete. Shit that doesn’t allow the conversants a chance to deflect away. The chart of voting numbers, with 2020 having something like 20M more than ‘normal’ is more powerful.

      Not sure who or where that graph came from and I can’t look it up at the momo, but that’s a discrepancy that is purposefully being ignored by The News.

    • Evan from Evansville

      See. This timing is more appropriate. You’re used to postin’ tittays when I’m in my car on lunch having a smoke.

      I don’t wanna be caught toobin’ on my lunch in. Temptation requires my stoicism.

      (I kinda did break that guideline, once.) (This is also kinda a weak batch. Gal with strawberries on her puppies wins the day. (That cute Asian gal is also a cute Asian gal.)

  29. Raven Nation

    Maybe drugs/ass, but as I went down some youtube rabbit holes, I found a NY Times vid from 2 days ago with three professors from Yale who are all leaving to go to Toronto. The lead is “We’re experts in fascism. We’re leaving the US.”

    One of them is Timothy Synder whose “reasons are more complicated. Primarily, he’s leaving to support his wife, Professor Shore, and their children, and to teach at a large public university in Toronto, a place he says can host conversations about freedom. At the same time, he shares the concerns expressed by his colleagues and worries that those kinds of conversations will become ever harder to have in the United States.”

    Yep, you heard it. A bunch of academics at YALE, are worried about right-wing politicians shutting down freedom of speech. Idiots. And they, like most of the people I work with, just can’t figure out why there is a decline in respect for academics (FIRE ranks Yale 135 out of about 250 for freedom of speech).

    • ron73440

      Shutting down protestor bank accounts is not fascist at all.

    • JaimeRoberto (carnitas/spicy salsa)

      Just don’t get out of line or Canada will freeze your bank account. But that’s just common sense, not fascism.

    • Sensei

      Yup. Canada. A bastion of freedom.

    • rhywun

      lol Dumbasses.

      But I’m sure they confidently believe all the correct things – until the correct things change.

    • Stinky Wizzleteats

      That’s just what I’d expect the fascists at FIRE to say.

    • rhywun

      “it is unacceptable for any content we provide to our readers to be inaccurate,”

      Sure, Jan. 🙄

    • Stinky Wizzleteats

      “Transphobic policy changes”
      Is it transphobic to not kiss trans people’s asses because it looks more like the withdrawal of privileges to me or should the military allocate time for frontline mangina dialation?

  30. STEVE SMITH

    “This is actually a really big deal. Colombia is currently a great place for passport bros.”

    STEVE SMITH LAUGH. THEM FIND OUT CHINA IS ASSHOE.
