That’s all I got for today. I’ll leave you with a song and move along with my day.
Didn’t he do that already?
Not that I recall. Way past time, in my opinion — I think they deserved it back in the original Summer O Love.
Morning all.
“The president said he would also bring RICO, or Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, charges against “some of the people you have been reading about that have been putting up millions and millions of dollars for agitation.”
….
Earlier Monday, both White House adviser Stephen Miller and Vice President JD Vance said that the administration is moving to investigate networks that organized riots, street violence, and other activities in the United States. At one point, Miller used the term “domestic terror movement” to describe such actors.”
Good.
About fucking time.
🍿
Localish talking head Lars Larson has been suggesting this since the summer of Love.
How could he? Antifa doesn’t exist! it’s just an idea! If you’re not a fascist, you’re antifa!
Just like ISIS!
Long overdue. The name Soros always pops in my head but in fact there is a cadre of such people actively trying to destroy the country.
I saw Steve Miller’s wife on the teevee this morning seething mad about vadalism and harassment at their home.
As I have said before, when someone behaves as if they are waging war on you behave as if you are waging war back.
The web of billionaires, foundations, NGOs, unions, etc. etc. funding domestic terrorism is vast.
It would be a welcome change to see someone looking into that but I’m not holding my breath.
I don’t know…feels different this time.
“This time it’s personal!”
:hums quietly to himself to the tune of I Dream of Jeanie: I dream of budgets that are balanced and fair….
:Rod Serling voice: Imagine if you will…. a world… a world in which politicians get off their lazy butts and do their jobs. A world in which they actually put in a modicum of effort.
Dems will call us names if we don’t extend temporary, emergency funding.
I remember doge.
I think the Congressional GOP remembers them as DODGE based on the results.
Something to do with cute tiktok videos, right?
Good of the GOPers to remind us how useless they are. Shouldn’t they have budgets lined up on the runway? Really, shouldn’t they have already passed the budgets for next year? It’s nearly the start of the next fiscal year, after all.
But no, another fucking CR to keep printing presses and the graft humming along.
Didnt Johnson promise a budget only until AFTER mid-terms or did I misread something somewhere at sometime?
Either way it is treated like Obamacare…trust us, give us more power and we will do it!
Lucy and the football.
Yes, and we the sheeple are dumb enough to believe it again and again.
C’mon, Man. It’s in the Big Beautiful Bill, on the last page. I saw it myself.
It said “The End”
I believe that’s accurate.
Think of the children!
“Trump advocates for shift from quarterly to semiannual earnings reports”
Should I care?
Think of the Wall Street reporters who can’t gush for 2 hours about missed earnings quite as often!
The accountants who won’t have to compile said reports!
The SEC regulators who won’t be going over said reports!
Won’t someone think of the red tape dispensers?!?
So I should sell my stock in red tape?
In the Chicago Stock Exchange, they call those Red Stocks.
Red tape dispenser:

I saw a literal (red tape) dispenser in one of the sample prep labs.
Absolutely obligatory Everyone with eyes who wasn’t lying to try to score political points knew that.
TikTok is destroying our youth! Give us a taste of the money or we’ll ban it!
TikTok is cancer.
TikTok is not cancer, it is a finely crafted weapon to undermine western socities.
There’s a reason China doesn’t allow people in their control to use the algorithm designed for the west.
If it is cancer why is it ok as long as US companies get the profits?
“If it is cancer why is it ok as long as US companies get the profits?”
It’s not OK.
“If it is cancer why is it ok as long as US companies get the profits?”
If someone can make money off of privatized prisons and schools, why not TikToks? What, are you against money? Capitalism?
Profiting off of cancer is really nothing new, you know.
we can say tiktok is shit without supporting any government measure towards it.
I’m sure all the common “savings” instruments will be back to zero interest (if they aren’t already) soon enough. Credit APRs will stay stratopheric… and housing prices will stay so ridiculous that the mortgage rates won’t enter into it.
(Yes, I’m rather pessimistic this morning it seems…)
A lot of money is sitting in money markets getting 4% -5% risk free. That party is coming to an end. The question is, where does all that capital flow? To an already overpriced stock market? Over priced commodities market? Over priced real estate market? How does this not create more inflation? The shit-show is just getting started.
I’ve been trying to figure that out for the past 5 years. I still don’t know what the right play is.
Foxnews has too much shit. 36 trackers?
Fuck Fox news.

This case looks different to me. I think Trump overstepped.
My bill would be – Spending stops pending audit for fraud and abuse. Any program flagged gets no funding until people responsible have been fired and barred from employment in any capacity even tangeniallt related to government.
Math teachers hardest hit — It’s a Sine.

Look, sometimes getting the puns to work is so hard…
Read the article. IANAL, but I’m not seeing a tort of libel.
The process is the punishment. That works here as well. They fear what will emerge during discovery, and may offer to settle. Trump might refuse such an offer, even if he knows he won’t win, just to get their shitbaggery out in the open.
A judge could throw it out.
Exactly. This is lawfare.
I saw an opinion piece somewhere in which the author asserted that Kirk was no MLK, Jr.
Did MLK, Jr. get world wide vigils after he was assassinated? I don’t know.
Well, there’s definitely logic to it. If every town in America gets a Charlie Kirk Blvd. — I’ll be more than a little surprised.
Would it be in the good part of town?
We haven’t heard about the TPUSA orgies yet.
Yeah, how many other women was he sleeping with.
I’m a little surprised at how he’s sucked up all the news hours in the last week but I’m old now so what do I know what the kids are up to.
Pretty sure Kirk did t record himself having sex with women that weren’t his wife.
“In a statement Saturday, the Texas chapter of the American Federation of Teachers condemned a “political witch hunt” against teachers who disagreed with Kirk’s politics.
“These ‘investigations’ into teachers exercising their First Amendment rights outside their official duties silence dissent and encourage the purging of civil servants — both key tenets of the authoritarian playbook,” the statement read. “We urge ISDs, colleges, and public universities to review the section on crumbling independent institutions as they consider how to move forward.””
BFH
Now do “calling parents domestic terrorists for showing up at school board meetings” or “not wanting to fly the Pride flag for religious reasons”, jerkasses.
I’m no more fucks to give teachers’ unions after the Biden years.
Or do kids saying shit outside of school hours somehow coming under the disciplinary actions of the school
I had no more fucks to give at least a couple decades before that. They have been actively working against the interests of students and parents for as long as I can remember.
Well, they were free to exercise their 1st amendment and did. Doesnt mean there arent consequences…
How many of these teachers support zero tolerance for violence when said speech is coming from the students?
Yeah, celebrating political assassination goes a bit beyond mere dissent. But don’t expect honesty from the left.
Yeah, somehow “celebrating his assassination” and “disagreed with his politics” seem like different things to me.

Can we just get SCOTUS to smack that shit down now, rather that wasting everybody’s time and money going through the motions of pretending this might be in any way constitutional?

I am old and I dont care. I dont know what a VPN is but I get the notion it is a way to access servers from areas where one is forbidden to access those servers?
It seems like banning VPNs would be like banning rain.
VPNs are the main way people in totalitarian countries like China get around the firewalls that prevent them from getting outside news.
This bill would seem to play directly into the hands of totalitarians.
I’m not seeing anything about VPN’s in the articles I found.
From the Bill itself:
An internet service provider providing internet service in this State shall actively monitor and block known circumvention tools.
“Circumvention tools” means any software, hardware, or service designed to bypass internet filtering mechanisms or content restrictions including virtual private networks, proxy servers, and encrypted tunneling methods to evade content restrictions.
“Massachusetts Democrat Rep. Ayanna Pressley’s husband, Conan Harris, won a multimillion-dollar project contract for his company courtesy of Democratic Boston Mayor Michelle Wu.
The Boston Planning Department awarded DREAM Development a 400-unit housing project in April 2024. Harris, who served over a decade in prison for drug trafficking, is listed as a partner and investor in DREAM Development, and stands to benefit from the $250 million deal, Mass Daily News first reported.”
https://dailycaller.com/2025/09/15/boston-mayor-wu-handed-multi-million-dollar-deal-to-ayanna-pressleys-husband/

That mayor is as corrupt as it gets, so this checks out.
There is a man who has learned how to make crime pay!
Shows I have watched/am watching:
Wednesday Season 2 is completely terrible in almost every specific way, with the exception of performances of Luis Guzman and Catherine Zeta-Jones. And yet I enjoyed it. Maybe watching Jenna Ortega mugging for the camera was a bit of mindlessness I needed? Don’t know.
Terminal List: Dark Wolf continues to be brutal. The latest episode isn’t wonderful other than as a complete deck clearing as far as “wtf is actually going on here?” In that respect, it makes the show completely paranoid in that there are now only two characters that can be “trusted” and even that only extends to “not actively working at cross purposes with the potential for killing them.”
I watched Friday a long time ago and realized I did not need to watch the Monday Tuesday etc to enjoy it
In case you’re unfamiliar with the English nursery rhyme that gives each episode it’s title, Keanu Reeves was obviously born on a Wednesday.
Hell, I couldn’t even get through the first season of Wednesday. Nothing made any sense.
It is a Tim Burton fest — things aren’t expected to make sense.
Season Two makes even less sense.
One of the best things about the original Terminal List was how it very subtly implied, at least for a few episodes, that maybe Reece did kill his family while in a dissociative fugue. It sounds like I should start watching the spin-off…
Did they explain why 28 year olds are still in high school or are they just invoking the 90210 rule?
I hate it when they do that. I end up feeling weird because I think a high school girl is hot, but they’re not really a high school girl, so I get confused.
We watched Wednesday season 2, and we liked it. At first it seemed like it had too many references to season 1, which we didn’t remember because it was a while ago, but it turned out to be not that big of an issue. The origin story of one of the main characters was fun.
If you mean Gomez, his kid’s plot-dependent power levels were one of the many things that bugged the fuck out of me about that season.
Still liked it overall, and am hoping that S3 starts off in the forests of Canada and stays there for a couple-three episodes.
Wife and I have been watching the origional Addams family.
It’s pretty awesome.
Wednsday picked up in the last few episodes.
They shat on the Enid character.
“Hannah Einbinder, the dimwitted nepo baby daughter of original Saturday Night Live performer Laraine Newman, made a splash at the Emmy awards ceremony Sunday night, drawing energetic praise — and blurred-out shoulders — from the butchers, rapists and torturers of Jews.
On Monday, a Hamas mouthpiece praised the 30-year-old starlet’s foul-mouthed rant, which featured the slogan “Free Palestine!’’ during the live Emmy broadcast.
That the terrorist propaganda arm, the Quds News Network, would latch on to the statement of a Hollywood liberal is no surprise. Nor is the fact that their support would only go so far — they posted a picture of her with her torso blurred out, including her pro-Palestine pin”

And what exactly do you mean by “Free Palestine”? Because Gaza has been inhabited and run exclusively by Gazans for decades until they decided to start a war with Israel with 1,200 atrocities. If you mean “Jews out of Israel”, be honest and just come out and say it.

“An Illinois TV anchor has resigned from a local ABC-affiliated station after she said she was suspended for airing a tearjerking “non-partisan tribute” to her mentor, Charlie Kirk, following his assassination.”

Ironic, but I doubt it was non-partisan.
Her segment was very nonpartisan…her being ran out might not have been.
Ironic, but I doubt it was non-partisan.
Who knows? I won’t judge unless I see the actual tribute. I wouldn’t however put it past lefty media outlets to object to a non-partisan tribute because it honored a “racist” transphobic” “white supremacist” argle bargle etc.
What’s the station’s policy on commentary?
Its in the link..its just her sobbing over a mentor.
Its in the link..its just her sobbing over a mentor.
Ah, so the station thinks she was guilty of “humanizing” a “white supremacist Nazi”.
Or what Ted S said. If thats the case, her AV crew, the news producer of her segment and anyone else that knew what she was going to do should get the can too…
But we know its cause she spent 1 minute daring to speak about her mentor
It could be that she went off script like Howard Beale, in which case the rest of the crew wouldn’t necessarily deserve to be disciplined.

“House Bill 4938, called the “Anticorruption of Public Morals Act,” would prohibit the distribution of “real, animated, digitally generated, written, or auditory” depictions of sexual acts. The bill outlines the types of acts covered, including intercourse and masturbation.
The bill also includes a section targeting transgender individuals by prohibiting material “that includes a disconnection between biology and gender by an individual of one biological sex imitating, depicting, or representing themselves to be of the other biological sex.”
The bill’s sponsor is State Representative Josh Schriver, a Republican representing Northern Oakland County, including Oxford. He is known for his controversial push to urge the Supreme Court to overturn its decision on gay marriage in February.”

That’s the one that bans VPNs.
Doesn’t look like something that passess constitutional muster.
Here I found it:
“(a) “Circumvention tools” means any software, hardware, or
service designed to bypass internet filtering mechanisms or content
restrictions including virtual private networks, proxy servers, and
encrypted tunneling methods to evade content restrictions.”
https://legislature.mi.gov/documents/2025-2026/billintroduced/House/pdf/2025-HIB-4938.pdf
“The depiction, description or simulation “whether real, animated, digitally generated, written, or auditory, that includes a disconnection between biology and gender by an individual of 1 biological sex imitating, depicting, or representing himself or herself to be of the other biological sex by means of a combination of attire, cosmetology, or prosthetics, or as having a reproductive nature contrary to the individual’s biological sex.””
So Blaire White and Buck Angel are safe because they don’t represent themselves to “the other biological sex”??
No, because imitating, depicting, or representing is a disjunctive not conjunctive wording, so any of the three is sufficient.
There’s my Republicans, working overtime to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory yet again.
For God and country!
I just wish they could go down in electoral flames because they passed massive spending cuts, not because they got they took a dump on the the First Amendment.
This is what they actually care about. Fiscal responsibility, shrinking government, lowering taxes, and all of the other talking points they campaign on is just dressing on the shit sandwich that is the republican party. They never do squat about those things, because what they actually care about is banning porn or banning abortions or banning those gay homos or mandating the 10 commandments get posted up in classrooms.

She’s always been anti-BoR. Just like the overwhelming majority of people who want power.
“Woke-Right” still doesn’t make sense to me.
It’s just chaff in the meme-o-sphere. It means nothing but is intended to sow confusion and hide the signature of wokism from detection.
You may not like the term, and I agree that it is not remotely on the same scale as the left, but things like the Michigan anti-porn bill are what woke-right means. True believers running rampant to impose their beliefs, damn the consequences. It needs pushback.
True believers running rampant to impose their beliefs, damn the consequences.
If that’s woke, then woke just means “anything I personally don’t like”.
Woke means the use of group identity and oppressor-oppressed dynamic in a gnostic way to dismiss your opposition based on their person, not their ideas.
The woke right is a thing. They tend to be the people most likely to use “woke right” as a slur.
Ok, I’ll use your definition. They aren’t woke right, they are religious zealots trying to criminalize constitutionally protected behaviors to remake mankind in the image they desire. I see that as a fairly close parallel to the woke left, even if it isn’t based in group identity.
You mean like “The Left?”
You mean like “The Left?”
No.
“things like the Michigan anti-porn bill are what woke-right means”
So bog standard socon assholery?
Woke is inherently left. It’s “cultural marxism” (another stupid term). It’s all about identity politics, an oppressor-victim dynamic, “decolonizing”, and “cultural appropriation”, so white people can claim they are “non-binary” and yell at other white people for selling tacos.
Meh. People unambiguously described as “right wing” can and are engaging in the same kind of collectivist “they’re the oppressor so different rules apply to them than to me” bullshit. To try and claim they’re “really” on the left is about as perfect an example of No True Scotsman as you can get.
She’s an idiot floating a trial balloon and hopefully the pushback pops it. Straight up incitement should be gone after but that doesn’t fall under 1A anyway.
Bondi is making a fool of herself then. There is no exception to the first amendment for “hate speech”, only for specific threats.
Another difference is that some on “the right” push back.
The left is in total lockstep marching off a cliff.
Bondi, a Hint: Stop using the term Hate Speech. Hate speech does not exist. You cannot outlaw emotions or thoughts. This aint fuckin’ England.
Incitement? Threats? Ok. Those are actions, not speech.
I did see Miller’s wife this morning livid about leftist harassment. Her home has been vandalized. Steven and his family have received lots of threats. That is not speech and it is criminal.

My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding is still a thing?
Related to gypsy weddings, the nude scene in Suburra (the TV series not the movie) on the wedding night squicked me right the fuck out. There is no reason to cast an actress that looks that young for a scene like that.
“A bill reintroduced by Sen. Mary Cavanagh, a Democrat from Redford Township, would impose a $1,000 fine on anyone who knowingly lies about elections or a voter’s eligibility. Employers who had someone working for them “for election-related purposes” violate the provision — such as a lobbyist who suggests certain groups aren’t eligible to vote early — could face a fine of up to $10,000.
The goal is to deter election-related misinformation in a critical swing state, Cavanagh said during a Senate Elections and Ethics Committee hearing Wednesday. Such efforts “can cause confusion, reduce voter turnout, and ultimately undermine the legitimacy of our electoral system,” she said.”

Trump outsources torture
A U.S. judge said that she was powerless to stop the return of four men in Ghana’s custody to countries where U.S. immigration judges determined they faced torture or persecution, declining to intervene in a victory for the Trump administration.
U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan said that the administration appeared to be circumventing the U.N. Convention Against Torture by sending the West Africans to Ghana, but that her “hands are tied.”
Chutkan wrote that she was “alarmed and dismayed by the circumstances under which these removals are being carried out, especially in light of the government’s cavalier acceptance of Plaintiffs’ ultimate transfer to countries where they face torture and persecution.”
The ruling Monday night in federal court in Washington clears the way for 14 West Africans to be sent to their home countries from Ghana, including the four covered by the ruling. They appear to be destined for Nigeria and Gambia, despite U.S. immigration judges finding they have reason to fear persecution or torture.
Are these men criminals? Terrorists? Traitors? Fine upstanding citizens caught in a misunderstanding?
The AP won’t tell us.
I don’t care.
I also don’t care where they end up, just as long as it’s not here.
Amazing, a judge recognizes where U.S. jurisdiction ends.
“What spoor of madness is this?”
Yeah, don’t care.
The assumption in all of these arguments is that the US is the only single place on the planet that refugees can be safe in. It is horseshit. If you hop-skip-jump through fifteen countries to get here from oogabooga you are not a refugee seeking asylum.
It is not about refugees, it never was.
Yeah, England is probably even more generous with their subjects’ tax dollars than the US is with ours.
Except… the citizens are all of a sudden maybe fighting back there.
Wait, we’re buying torture chocolate?
It is normally called white chocolate, but, yeah.
Chutkan is the lunatic judge who was sentencing J6 defendants to 20 years for parading inside the Capitol.
“The increased presence of immigration agents at hospitals comes after Donald Trump issued an executive order overturning the long-standing status of hospitals, healthcare facilities and schools as “sensitive locations”, where immigration enforcement was limited.
Nurses, in California and other states across the nation, said they fear the new policy, in addition to deterring care at medical facilities, will deter sick people from seeking care when they need it.”
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/sep/16/california-ice-hospitals-patient-care
ICE shouldn’t have to go into sensitive locations, but that’s what you get with sanctuary policies.
We need to do something before Trump ruins Hispanic Heritage Month
Delete month designations beyond their official names. No X history or Y heritage or Sin Suchandsuch months.
I propose: Any politician supporting a symbolic dedication of a day, month, or other time period to any group, cause, or individual shall pay all expenses of such symbolic observance out of personal funds. Any use of public funds in such an enterprise shall constitute embezzlement.
I think you just banned all holidays.
The government should not be the font of holidays.
comic sans?
To be fair, there IS no humor in government.
Don’t holidays kind of by definition come from the person in charge of telling you when you need to work?
Congress can stop this anytime they want by opening the borders or passing another amnesty. Go for it.
The open borders people lie as badly as the gun grabbers. I wont argue with them. The instant you start trying to weaponize empathy I stop listening.
Fuck old people in sack cloth, hungry children and shivering puppies. Also, fuck illegal aliens. When sympathetic people show up here, that is people who really do need asylum and likely would be assets they slam the door. They are only interested in flooding the country, drowning the culture in collectivist minded totalitarian leaning cattle.
And Chutkan seems to be explicitly admitting we can’t enforce American law anywhere on the planet at our whim, which is rather surprising.
Chaos! Cats sleeping with dogs!!
Almost a week after Charlie Kirk’s murder, and those of us said “this feels different” appear to be right. To me these things stand out.
1. He was much more popular than I realized. More people knew who he was than I thought. Even some people in Europe were even paying tribute to him.
2. He was more ingrained in the Trump admin than I realized. Sure he was friends with Trump and Vance, but all the big names in the admin were close to him. Even Kennedy said Charlie Kirk organized him joining Trump, and suggested that fireworks display that became an iconic photo. The assassination was personal to the people who hold all the power.
3. The far left, and not so far left, are showing their true colors and are completely shocked that most of the country finds that abhorrent. They haven’t got the memo that they’ve actually lost a lot of their power.
That assassin done fucked up.
I dunno…seems the lean into is going a bit too far in certain areas…
I don’t think it’s over yet. I know my way of engaging the left has changed. IDGAF what they have to say. I’m fulfilling my Christian duty to them personally, but their ideas are murderous and demonic, and it’s a time of no quarter for that dreck.
There have been memorials, with massive attendance, in places such as London and South Korea.
I would say that his presence was felt quite widely, more so than the left thinks it was.
It’s really surreal from where I’m sitting because he was basically just a name in the background noise from my perspective. As in “He exists but I know nothing else”
Same.
I guess we’re just old.
DNC to make additional investment to boost Sherrill in New Jersey governor’s race
https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/5504625-dnc-to-make-additional-investment-to-boost-sherrill-in-new-jersey-governors-race/
She still has long odds of winning, but it’s interesting that they even appear concerned.
Throwing gas on the fire
Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) warned Sunday that the Trump administration could be preparing a “dizzying” crackdown on political dissent, pointing to officials’ escalating rhetoric against left-leaning groups.
“Pay attention. Something dark might be coming,” Murphy wrote in a thread on the social platform X.
“The murder of Charlie Kirk could have united Americans to confront political violence. Instead, Trump and his anti-democratic radicals look to be readying a campaign to destroy dissent,” Murphy added.
Murphy said Utah Gov. Spencer Cox (R) has “led the way” in stressing “the need to depoliticize our fight against violence,” adding, “But Trump and his lieutenants are spinning a lie. That the only threat is from the left.”
The right wing reign of terror is coming. Prepare yourselves, patriots.
These fucking people. “Look, Trump is becoming a fascist dictator just like we said he would!’
Leftist agitators agitate until they get a response then blame the victims of their agitation. Oldest trick in the book.
I think what he said is “Arm yourselves. It looks like we are getting the response we wanted.” then turned away from the camera and did a Mr. Burns.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKUOB8MN4Kc
The murder of Charlie Kirk could have united Americans to confront political violence. Instead, the left demands more.
It seems like it has. Now what will it take for the left to confront the fact that they are the primary perpetrators of political violence in America?
The far left is shrinking. Who is looking at this saying, “You know you’re right, Trump IS a Nazi, we DO need to kill more people!” The best they can do is lie to their followers and try to keep them in a state of fear. But just like the last election, their lies directly contradict what we’re seeing with our own eyes, and you can’t sustain that forever.
I didn’t realize they were quite so far down the acceptance of political violence road to tell the truth, even some moderates/normies. Been quite a wakeup call to be honest.
A wake up call for me too. It seems a steady flow of people telling you the “other side” are white supremacist, Nazis, fascists, a threat to democracy, the biggest threat to our country, etc. over 10 years tends to affect people.
“The murder of Charlie Kirk could have united Americans to confront political violence.”
It could have, but team blue had to go dancing on his grave.
He included a screenshot of a post from far-right activist Laura Loomer, who said on X, “I have to say, I do want President Trump to be the ‘dictator’ the Left thinks he is, and I want the right to be as devoted to locking up and silencing our violent political enemies as they pretend we are.”
Murphy also pointed to Trump’s renewed threats last week to investigate prominent liberal philanthropist George Soros, accusing him of funding violent protests, which, Murphy said, “is just made up out of thin air. Totally, completely false.”
We all know Laura Loomer is the real power behind the throne. And that poor Mister Soros who wants nothing more than to use his wealth for the good of mankind; how could anyone question the ultimate end use of his philanthropic largesse?
Investigation is literally violence.
And lol, “Something dark might be coming”
Didn’t Kirk’s assassin or someone close to him say almost the same words?
“prominent liberal philanthropist George Soros, accusing him of funding violent protests, which, Murphy said, “is just made up out of thin air. Totally, completely false.”
Wow. I wonder how much Soros put in the Murphy campaign?
“The right has been looking for a pretext to destroy their opposition for a long time. Increasingly, the right views the left as an existential [threat] to a white, Christian majority nation and thus must be destroyed, as Michael Anton wrote, at any cost,” Murphy wrote, linking to an article in New York Magazine.
“That’s why it was so important for Trump sycophants to take over the DoJ and FBI, so that if a pretext arose, Trump could orchestrate a dizzying campaign to shut down political opposition groups and lock up or harass its leaders,” he continued. “This is what could be coming – now.”
I’m not an existential threat, you are!
Maybe y’all should have been a little more careful about radicalizing your peons into giving them that pretext, huh? 20/20 hindsight and all…
The projection there is so strong it gives me a bit of vertigo looking at it.
So I’m going to refill my water bottle at work and two coworkers are there “rebooting” the water dispenser. You can never reach peak unnecessary tech.
W0t?
Shouldn’t it just be a bottle and a valve? What’s there to reboot?
Must be one of those with a digital counter of things saved by using it.
Well, for starters the wifi connection needs to be reset.
We’ve got these at the office
https://bevi.co/
Offers all sorts of stuff.
And I’m sure they need the occasional reboot.
I like the sparkling water but can live with it straight from the tap.
Ours have both a “bottles saved” counter and an auto shutoff at 20oz.
20? Are you desert plantlife?
Well, it needs BlueTooth to let everyone in the office know to a)drink and b)refill.
Because you can lead them to water, but you cannot make them drink without an app!
It was similarly annoying with the coffee maker in my old office.
Rather than have a pot or a tank, it custom makes each cup from scratch, taking 3-5 minutes depending on the particulars. After a bunch of whirring and clicking, you get a cup of coffee not much different than what you could have made in 30 seconds with a normal coffee pot and some powdered creamer.
Making water unavailable in a power outage is an important conservation technology!
Why not just grab a fresh one out of the networked fridge?
Fortunately on the other pantry on the floor is a “dumb” model.
It has a chiller and heater for instant water and water filter cartridge. It has a momentary on solenoid valve.
It’s just all the way across the floor, but I much prefer it.
“NASA was incredulous that SpaceX was rejecting its soft capture design and attempting to build something on its own.”
The difference between cost plus and fixed cost.
SpaceX built a docker from bike parts. The story explains its dominance.
A Dragon docking prototype built from mountain bike shocks led to rapid reinvention, an example of the company’s innovative culture.

cool article
It’s legacies, all the way down
One of the swing votes in the evenly split Senate, the longtime senator from the coal-producing state opposed Biden’s $2 trillion-plus Build Back Better proposal, a sweeping domestic policy, tax and social safety net package that included climate and tax provisions that Manchin rejected.
Manchin said his rejection didn’t stop Biden from trying to use the bully pulpit to convince Manchin to change his position.
In a private White House meeting, Manchin said he told Biden “this isn’t your legislation. It’s Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren’s. I’ve known you for a long time, and I do not believe that you believe this is the right thing for the country.”
“He grabbed my arm,” Manchin wrote of Biden. “‘Joe,’ he said, ‘the country needs you.'”
“When the most powerful man in the world is putting the weight of the world on you, it causes you to pause. I took a deep breath and grabbed his arm. ‘Mr. President,’ I said, ‘the country needs you too,'” Manchin wrote.
It may be self serving hogwash, but it’s believable self serving hogwash.
Hundreds of teachers?
Rookie numbers.
Manchin also criticized the Biden White House’s handling of negotiations with House and Senate Democrats over the infrastructure package, which at one point were held up in the House by progressives in what Manchin called “a misguided effort” to pass the larger domestic agenda.
“The political incompetence of his staff was staggering,” Manchin wrote about Biden’s trips to the Hill to meet with House Democrats.
He’s the President. You have to do what he says.
“The political incompetence of his staff was staggering”
That was by design. Every appointment, including Biden, was chosen by Obama’s third term admin for exactly that purpose. Think back on every member of that freak show.
Back to my “collectivism vs individualism” musings:
I think a lot of what we might call “habitual Democrats” are beginning to see just how much of a commitment they are expected to make to support the goals of the lunatic fringe’s hive mind Utopia. They are beginning to see the real costs of the madness.
Last night the wife came home from work massively pissed off, as it seems one of her co-directors is making a massive power play. But I did not have the heart to tell her that she falls into this trap every couple years as she seems to not be willing to jump in a take charge, grab the gold ring, and forge her own destiny.* Instead, she feels she is best being second in command, that she is happy to do this, but it leaves everyone else the option and timing to go for it, and then feels aggrieved that she isn’t in charge of her fate.
But, this morning I hear her on the phone, laughing. I think things are back to normal.
*I could point out the flaws in her logic, but I have learned one or two things having been with her for a few decades at this point. But only one or two, and just barely.
I’ve enjoyed letting others climb the ladder. I wish I could go down a rung.
Some comedian on TV just now: “I never thought that in my lfetime I would be having this conversation. ‘Hey, I am against murder. Murder is bad. What side are you on?’ ”
Yes, Kirk’s murder was a turning point. We tried engaging with them and the guy who was doing that the most, they blew his head off. The sea change seems to be that huge numbers of people are no longer interesting in engaging with them at all about anything. They are idolizing Mangione, cheering Kirk’s murder, not so subtly approved of Trump’s near assassination and calling for more political violence.
I think the mid-terms are going to be bad for them and that will make them even worse. If they cant be in charge they really will try to burn the country down.
Maybe it’s wishful thinking, but I believe the vast majority of people in this country just want the screamers and agitators, left and right, to STFU and GTFO so they can just live their lives in relative peace.
Those people aren’t major donors.
Or primary voters.
Crazy leftist going nuts (happy) that they dropped some charges on Luigi (still has the 2nd degree murder charge and others) really enforces their want of death and destruction.
okay so… I’ve been away a while… And I need help clarifying thoughts…
Was Tyler a Groyper or was he Antifa?
I’ve had family that would have tended to the groyper side of the spectrum while in high school and early college, but after living in this world a while and particularly after Trump’s election, is now heavily leftist, nihilist, and communist.
This is what I think happened to Tyler. I think indeed it was a shitpost assasination meant to inflame the right and the left. but I do not think he was right wing. I think he was nihilist and pro-trans and turned that way because of his early association with groypers in the online 4-chan sphere. He saw groypers as anti-establishment, but then he found leftism fed into his nihilistic views better than the right. The right was too Christian.
So yes, he was anti-fascist, he was pro trans, and he was a groyper shitposter. But I’m not sure he was right or left. But I think given the level of rejoicing on the left this feeds into the thought he was more leftist than not.
Now toss ‘onset of schizophrenia’ into that mix and the devil is on the loose.
I’m not sure it’s schizophrenia… I think it’s desensitization… It’s living your life in an online persona for so long that you develop a visceral hatred of those in opposition, and you’re not strong enough in sympathy for the human condition to disregard that rage as improper. There’s been nothing like the internet in the history of the world. There’s been no technology that can at once have you so connected to others and where your deepest darkest thoughts can be evoked, all without any repercussions. The internet, and the way it is used, has some kind of severe effect on the weak minded. And I don’t think it’s a singular disorder. I think it’s a combination of factors. I think your upbringing tends you towards specific spheres, and then you just get sucked in where you get sucked in. Maybe I should read Ted Kaczynski’s manifesto again…
Was Tyler a Groyper or was he Antifa?
Probably neither.
