I feel good now that the NFL season has started, the summer heat has passed, the leaves are just beginning to color, and the staff at our little café seems to actually have transitioned into something competent. Mostly. I managed to have a fine evening of wine with Prime at a delightful spot. So I’m in an uncharacteristically good mood.. Which of course I will promptly spoil by reading the news. Ah well, there’s tomorrow night when I’ll get to troll all those Bills fans who infest the regions north of Glibs Gulch.
Birthday searches are much safer, because you find people like the father of atomic theory; a guy who was not only a true piece of shit, he handed us an enduring legacy of putrid turds (at least normal pieces of shit get flushed away); a guy who empowered the Soongs using some nose paint; one of the better known gaseous pseudophilosopher-frauds; the Ezra Pound of rock; a woman who was the quintessence of failing upward (and was a good punch-line during the 2016 debates); the inspiration for The Hair; and a grandmaster whom I met and will never forget (in a good way!).
I will, however, forget these Links by tomorrow.
Admittedly, RFK2 talks like a tard. OK, maybe he actually IS a tard.

One of the wonderful things about YouTube is that it gives obscure yet crazy-talented people a chance for exposure. One man band-ing on a solo guitar (except for the ticking clock effect). The Old Guy was pretty impressed..
“On Spotify, the group has 36 million monthly listeners, and the service’s users have streamed “Every Breath You Take,” a slightly sinister hit about romantic obsession (“Every step you take / I’ll be watching you,” goes one lyric), over 2.8 billion times.”
People play that at wedding receptions.
The movie Endless Love is about obsession, not love.
It’s also one of the great unintentional comedies of the 1980s.
Slightly sinister?

Ten years ago I started working a job where, when I got off work and turned the radio on for the drive home, it was just the right time for and ad from the local “autism center” that seemed to have bought a daily spot in the same exact time spot so I heard their ads pretty much every day. They went from 1 in 69 to 1 in 41 or so in the seven or so years I heard their ads.

It does not advance anything worth fighting for, either. I don’t give a flying fuck about the “warrior ethos” Hegseth seems obsessed with.
I’m with Jarflax. Changing the name seemed like a mistake and completely unnecessary. Of course, Trump doing it aggravates everyone but it still seems like a good idea.

To the naysayers (usually the girls’ fathers), Alverson argues that rushing a sorority is the female equivalent of joining a country club. “I have them come at me about the cost. ‘I can’t believe the girls are spending this.’ You’re a member of a hunting club. You’re paying $10,000 a year to have the right to go hunting. Do you play golf? Yes. So you really are paying money to have a social interaction,” he told me. “And you’re going to bitch about buying a pair of Tory Burch shoes for your daughter? Sit down.”
The fathers and the guy parting morons from their money are the only smart ones here.
Pretty sure the female equivalent of joining a country club is joining a country club. I wonder if this guy offers seminars on how to properly say “I’m so drunk” while leaning forward to show cleavage?

Admittedly I know next to nothing about Georgia but I have to wonder if the “democracy” there is the same kind of “democracy” (i.e. nothing of the sort) that “bipartisan” warmongers keep insisting exists in Ukraine.
It is exactly the same kind.
Nothing gives them a harder warboner than the thought of white Christian men slaughtering each other in a proxy war.
A great way to steal “frozen” assets. If peace were to break out, our eurotrash allies would owe Russia several hundred billion euros they don’t have.

“The billionaire heiress who recently donated $250,000 to a super PAC supporting socialist Zohran Mamdani’s NYC mayoral campaign is bankrolling a national push to bring “woke math” into public schools — a twisted bid to turn kids into socialist revolutionaries, critics told The Post.
Philanthropist Liz Simons, daughter of late hedge-fund billionaire Jim Simons, oversees a foundation with a near-billion-dollar endowment trashing traditional race-neutral math in favor of race-obsessed leftist lessons inserting social justice principles into many aspects of students’ studies.”

Because several decades of pushing Russia into the arms of the likes of China and Iran has been a spectacular success for the west.
It isn’t even a matter of pushing them into alliances, it is a matter of just saying to the Russian people – fuck you, we’ll tell you how it’s going to be.

“We will be able to stop that very easily. These are paid terrorists…And they are very dangerous for our country,” said President Trump. “And when we go there, if we go to Portland, we’re going to wipe them out. They’re going to be gone. They won’t even stand the fight. They will not stay there. They’ve ruined that city. What they’ve done to that place it’s like living in hell.””

I strongly suspect that determined push at antifa could dismantle it pretty thoroughly.
Go after the funding (which can absolutely be traced) and support networks. Arrest the street-level activists every time they commit a crime. It’s only lasted this long because it has been allowed to.
Maybe. The web of funding is very complex from what I have heard. Short of throwing someone like Soros in jail I don’t see how you can end such funding.
I’m not a fan of RICO, but spawn of Soros is a fitting target.
I agree with Trump here. Goddammit someone is paying for that. It’s not like we dont know who or how to find out. Until they throw the financiers in prison this is all just theater. Stop fucking around and clean that up.

“The US Court of Appeals for the First Circuit on Thursday refused to pause a lower court’s injunction blocking the Trump administration from issuing passports that reflect a person’s biological sex at birth.
Under the Biden administration, the US Department of State allowed passport seekers to select “M,” “F,” or “X” as their sex marker, which did not have to correspond with the person’s birth sex. One of the executive orders signed by Trump on his first day back in office directed agencies to “implement changes to require that government-issued identification documents, including passports, visas, and Global Entry cards, accurately reflect the holder’s sex,” with sex being defined in the order as “an individual’s immutable biological classification as either male or female.””

In a letter to FBI Director Kash Patel, Cotton raised alarms over remarks made by PYM leader Aisha Nizar at the recent People’s Conference for Palestine in Michigan.

“Most Republicans appear to believe that Trump has good reason to be worried about what people will learn about him if these files are released. After all, he’s been accused by over two dozen women of sexual assault or abuse — and some were underage at the time of the alleged incidents. At least one accuser has said she was passed off to him by Epstein. Another claimed that Epstein introduced her to Trump, but when Trump eyeballed her, Epstein snapped, “She’s not for you.”
…
Mace surely knows this is a lie — ask E. Jean Carroll. Or Jessica Leeds, who said Trump molested her on a plane in the 70s. Or Jill Harth, who accused him of “attempted rape” in 1997. Or the Miss Teen USA contestants, who said he came into their dressing room in 1997 as they were changing, even as many of them were underage. (Trump bragged about similar behavior to Howard Stern in multiple interviews in the early 2000s.) Or many of the other women who accused Trump of similar behavior. Or hell, the vast majority of Americans, who heard that infamous “Access Hollywood” tape where Trump could be heard boasting that he likes to grab women by the genitals because “when you’re a star, they let you do it.”

Temporary emergencies lasting decades
A federal judge on Friday ruled against the Trump administration from ending temporary legal protections that have granted more than 1 million people from Haiti and Venezuela the right to live and work in the United States.
The ruling by US district judge Edward Chen of San Francisco for the plaintiffs means that 600,000 Venezuelans whose temporary protections expired in April or whose protections were about to expire on 10 September have status to stay and work in the United States.
Chen said the actions of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) secretary, Kristi Noem, in terminating and vacating three extensions granted by the previous administration exceeded her statutory authority and were arbitrary and capricious.
——-
Millions of Venezuelans have fled political unrest, mass unemployment and hunger. Venezuela is mired in a prolonged crisis brought on by years of hyperinflation, political corruption, economic mismanagement and an ineffectual government.

Pentagon officials grappled Friday with the Herculean task of fulfilling President Donald Trump’s executive order to remold the enormous, global agency into the Department of War.
Many expressed frustration, anger and downright confusion at the effort, which could cost billions of dollars for a cosmetic change that would do little to tackle the military’s most pressing challenges — such as countering a more aggressive alliance of authoritarian nations.
In your sandbox, kicking sand in your face.
“cost billions of dollars”

This article is based on interviews with more than half a dozen current and former defense officials, many of whom have insight into the broader sentiment in the department. The people were granted anonymity to discuss a sensitive issue.
Hot off the jungle telegraph. You know it’s true.
But the proposal took fire from the top Senate Republican overseeing Pentagon spending, Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.). The former Senate majority leader reupped his criticism that Trump’s 2026 Pentagon budget request lags inflation.
“If we call it the Dept. of War, we’d better equip the military to actually prevent and win wars,” McConnell said on X. “Can’t preserve American primacy if we’re unwilling to spend substantially more on our military than Carter or Biden. ‘Peace through strength’ requires investment, not just rebranding.”

Mr. Threedoor – I think you were talking about the HPV vaccine yesterday. Interesting review in Brownstone: The Dauntless Dane Exposes the Dark Side of HPV Vaccines. I haven’t read the book, but presumably there are more information/resources therein.
Yeah. My wife had a terrible reaction to it.
We credit it and her first ever flu shot which she got around the same time (likely the adjuvants in them) to her being allergic to just about everything now.
And since the army doc hand waved her immediate negative reaction to it away you know it never got reported in the vares system.
Dr. is legally required to report. But obviously with a huge loophole that one can’t really adjudicate totally objectively the physicians conclusion regarding causation even if they are supposed to err on the side of correlation in these cases. Of course the patient can file a report as well, though probably a complex process that most don’t even know about.
PM. I didn’t even know VARS existed until 12 or 13 years afterwards.
The HepB vaccine is the one that really kills me. Less than 1% of the population is at all likely to contract it, and yet now we vaccinate every child? Then I got to wondering – how do they know it works; because you’d be talking Tuskeegee Institute to actually TEST that. Turns out, they don’t really know and in fact have some real questions about that. JFC!
Trust the Science TM
Combined with the fact that we know exactly which population is at risk. The transmission risk is mother to child. For most/any delivery, the mother will have undergone a battery of tests including blood tests. HepB is easily tested for – and I’m not sure, but I think it’s part of the standard panel in pre-natal care. So why do we have to vaccinate every baby? When we know exactly which ones are at risk?

A great name dragged through the muck
Prominent members of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s family called on him Friday to resign from his post atop the Department of Health and Human Services.
The calls from relatives came a day after the health secretary faced tough questions from Republican and Democratic senators about his overhaul of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention at a Senate hearing.
Former Rep. Joe Kennedy III released a statement calling his uncle “a threat to the health and wellbeing of every American.” He accused the secretary of choosing “to dismiss science” and “sow confusion” during his congressional testimony.
He has brought shame and ignomy to his house.

Sports is an incredibly expensive school program that probably doesn’t benefit the majority of students. I’m not even sure it always benefits the athletes who are required to maintain certain grades; I remember that whenever one of the star players was in danger of being pulled from sports due to bad grades, all the teachers would baby them and give them all kinds of extra help that was not given to other students who were struggling.
I have a theory that massive spending on sports is *part of* the reason that the US spends so much more than “best school system” countries like Estonia, Finland, Germany, Japan, and South Korea. I’ve driven through so many podunk country towns around here that have a tiny school building but a gigantic football stadium (I know local businesses sponsor it, but I don’t think ALL the costs are covered in perpetuity).
The teachers get extra pay to coach and go on trips, which likely gets added to their retirement as well. Busses are not free, motels are expensive.
I’ve always thought that sports had a negative educational impact, the jocks spent a ton of time away from school and managed to get better grades than the rest of us somehow.
It’s bad enough having the school district rob from me annually when my kids won’t see the inside of their institutions but to force me to pay for some ego stroking sports for less and for retards to throw balls around pisses me off to no end.
Sports are NOT educational.
Ego stroking sports fields
Damn you autocowreck
I’ve always thought that sports had a negative educational impact
I don’t know, I often wonder if perhaps the lessons learned in sports are not significantly more useful for most people going forward relative to current educational norms. Of course the truth or falsehood of that hypothesis has no bearing on whether you should be forced to pay for other peoples sports or schooling.
PM the lessons I have learned from sports is that it dosent matter what you know but who you blow and what your last name is, that slick talking dumb people will be given advantages over hard working smart people, that circuses are more popular than measurable productive achievement.
Huh – perhaps different in a more individualized sport with very clear metrics. If you weren’t the fastest, you weren’t getting put into the race above the fastest guy, modulo a need for you be in a different event combined with a limitation in how many events you could do.
I only played football one year in 4 or 5th grade (before falling out of a tree and blowing out my knee), but it was pretty meritocratic if I recall, even though youth sports for the youngest are, understandably perhaps, less cut throat/merit based than might be the norm as you advance. And you see a lot of poor trash succeeding in e.g. college football above named and/or monied participants (they go play lacrosse – but likely still more merit based than not. People like winning).
Yeah. I liked individual sports, and baseball as a kid.
All the people telling me that team sports prepares you for working with people in the future make my eyes gloss over. Same with group projects in school.
I’m sure this varies by who is coaching and how they run the team, but from my observation, it’s a big drama-fest for adults. Most of the kids are there trying to get the game finished up so they can go home and eat pizza, while the adults are screaming at the umpire about some rule that they feel shouldn’t apply to their kid and getting in physical altercations with other parents (great example for the children!)
There was a sign posted at the local ballfields that said:
1. The players are children
2. Umpires are human
3. Coaches are volunteers
4. This is a game
I don’t think anyone paid attention to it.
My district had to light the stadium so the kids weren’t deprived of the “Friday Night Lights” experience. My high school had no lights and one “deprived” (((kid))) went on to win three Super Bowl rings with the Stillers.
Creech, one benchwarming superbowl ring from my highschool as well. He owes me $5 from a bet in seventh grade.
My little league experience was being put in left field to stare at the dandy lions and lady in line rot bad while the coaches kid got to hit first and parents yelled at their kids. I just wanted to learn the game and play ball.
Whatever happened to Pop Warner football?
I had to look it up as I have never heard of it.
Do I recall correctly that it’s kinda the Little League of youth football?
Pop Warner football was a staple in my marroed family.
My son wanted to play defensive end but they said he was too small, then my boss gave a generous donation, all of a sudden my boy was sacking qbs.
Funny how that worked
“House Speaker Mike Johnson on Thursday told reporters that President Trump “was an FBI informant” working to help take Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking ring down….
During the press conference, victim attorney Brad Edwards revealed that he was also working with President Trump in 2009. “He helped me. He got on the phone. He told me things that were helping our investigation,” Edwards said.”
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/09/mike-johnson-says-trump-was-working-as-fbi/
Which means Trump’s name is in the files, and Democrats will scream “He’s in the files!”
And nobody thought to mention this while the Epstein Files thing has been going on for years?
We just spent a million years evolving in concert with millions of other species, many of which we interact with daily but have little awareness of.
There is a theory being floated that the recent introduction of paint additives…mainly anti-fungal agents….have caused other species which we were previously in a kind of biological equilibrium with to change in response to those additives. The changes in these other species has upset the equilibrium so that previously benign species are now mildly toxic to us.
This phenomena is familiar to SCUBA divers. If you breath air under pressure that was compressed with a motor lubricated with petroleum there will be trace amounts of petroleum fumes in that air. The normal and naturally occuring bugs living in your lungs react to that by secreting a snot coat for protection. That snot coat is highly toxic to humans. Breathing that air will kill you in short order.
This theory about the paint additives is suggesting that there are ailments, such as chronic fatigue syndrome, that we are experiencing and dont really understand the cause, nature or treatment for.
I am gonna say the same is probably true for vaccines, each vaccine having multiple different effects, some of which we have identified, some not. Some very subtle, some not so much. There is always going to be pluses and drawbacks to any changes in our environment.
footnote: This is why I am highly skeptical about colonizing space or other planets. Small changes in environment can have huge effects on us. What you will find in space or on other planets are not small changes but radically different environments. We are going to run into a lot of problems we wont see coming.
Take lots of dirt with you.
Oiless compressors, try one, they work great
The grief industrial complex
Blake Bonner, father of 9-year-old Lila Bonner, helped found the Heaven’s 27 Foundation to unite parents behind bolstering youth camp safety in the state.
The parents, who are dealing with the torment of their grief — shock, denial, guilt — recognize “that this is a lot larger than Camp Mystic,” Bonner said. In the first few weeks after July 4, the only explanations were that “this was an act of God,” “part of camping” or “just a freak accident,” he said.
Bonner said that he could not believe any of that and that as he looked into the facts and circumstances, “it became very, very clear that this wasn’t an accident. This was complacency, and it was 100% preventable.”
“I just couldn’t bear the thought that their legacy would bring this much pain,” he said. “So we poured our pain into this campaign, and it’s been amazing to see their legacy now established as not only heroes, but heroes that have driven this change and legislation that will save lives.”
There oughtta be a law.
Of course it was preventable. Dont go there.
Have you ever seen those hikers that walk in very deep narrow canyons? Oooooooohhhhh it is so cool and otherworldly beautiful down there! Wow. Nature is so amazing!
Guess how that canyon got there dummy.
If you go to a place where there is no ground cover, no topsoil etc…where water runs off quickly then go into a low spot rain miles and miles away, rain you cannot see or hear is liable to hit you like a freight train before you can get out of the way.
DONT GO THERE.
Maybe check out the places you send your children to before you send them there?
“In early 2019, SEAL Team 6’s Red Squadron embarked on a covert mission that fell apart and cost lives, deep into North Korean territory to place a covert communications listening device, one of the riskiest operations in recent U.S. military history, the New York Times reported on Friday.
The goal was to plant a communications-interception device to monitor the country’s dictator Kim Jong-un’s private communications. The mission was, according to the Times, personally approved at the highest levels, with then-President Donald Trump allegedly giving the green light….
Despite the meticulous planning, the mission quickly went wrong. As the SEALs approached the shore, a North Korean fishing boat came into view. Believing they had been spotted, the team opened fire. What they encountered, however, were not armed soldiers but unarmed civilians diving for shellfish. Reports indicate that two to three civilians were killed instantly.”

Who knows?
Wouldn’t it be easier to just enroll at a North Korean university?

‘The Science’ –
Have you ever seen ants solve problems? Individual ants cant do much in the way of solving problems but the hive as a whole can solve remarkably complex problems. The ants, communicating with each other via touch, sight, and chemical secretions can communicate both with other individuals or the colony as a whole by emitting ambient chemical signals. In short, the hive acts as a brain and each ant as a cell, the brain just isnt inside a box like ours.
People can act the same way…groups behaving and communicating with each other to create a kind of super sentience. Their ‘conversation’ being that sentience’s ‘thinking’.
The advantage that ants have over us is that the more of them there are, the smarter their ‘brain’ gets.
Science is our attempt to develop a rigid methodology wherein groups of people can actually get smarter. Without that methodology what we get are what we call politics: idiocy writ large. The scientific method actually works pretty well. I am waiting to see what happens when we start employing it.

That’s exciting.

Atlas Shrugged may be the worst movie I’ve never seen,
Strike that, “may be”
This is the worst movie ever made
Yes, it’s bad. Hence I never posted it. Worse than most of what I post.
Do these people hate acting??
You know, I wondered about that. My joke is that socialists can’t play capitalists worth a damn. Other than that it’s like everyone was on luuuuuudes…
Did you make it through all 3? Or did you give up?
I’m watching it! The actors are SOOOO BAD.
Rand was not a very good novelist and certainly no screenwriter. Hollywood is chock full of moronic, virtue signaling commies, the budget was low….perfect recipe for disaster and it shows.
I find it hard to beleive that no one has taken that message and presented it in a watchable film format.
I forgot to add that their shooting schedule was ridiculously short.
Watch the fountainhead,
Then say that if you dare
