I have much to atone for this Yom Kippur. Most recently for making a really bad noodle stir-fry. And subjecting my neighbors to almost non-stop barking and howling as Rosie and Kaiser trigger each other. And chasing after some deer in my back yard with a rolling pin, Maggie-style. And playing Let’s Drop The Baby. And coming up with my own private nicknames for the uber-Progs on our village board. And doing a spot-on imitation of one of our louder local (actual) tards. And threatening to break 10b0t’s fingers if he sends me one more video of midget amputees fucking.
But I shall not atone for birthdays, as is my tradition, which today include a Founding Father who makes shitty beer; an artist whose craft has been degraded beyond measure; a smarmy solon who at least rid us of the second-worst president ever but was a hilariously inapt Left cult figure; one of my favorite magicians; another solon who had something in common with Art Garfunkel; a guy who navigated the fine line between genius and insanity– not always very well; a guy who loved cake and was SugarFree’s spiritual father; an unjustly overlooked songwriter and fine guitarist; and the patron saint of Crazy Eyes.
And if you don’t have crazy eyes yet, you will after reading Links.
Take bets on the prosecution of the guy who wrote this story.
If you guys truly meant business, you’d have used Baby Shark.
Don’t worry about it, it only happens 10 or 20 thousand times. It could be worse.
Hiring standards are interesting. Here’s the non-paywall version. For a runner, he apparently was too slow. BTW, note the date of the deportation order.
Performative panic. We all know what’s going to happen- paid vacations.
This one surprised me- I had no idea that Rahsaan had ever been on the Ed Sullivan show, and the juxtaposition is… odd. Nonetheless, it’s Rahsaan, and the Old Guy bows with reverence.
“Take bets on the prosecution of the guy who wrote this story.”
Stupid end of file error.

Morning all.
This implies that there’s something wrong with videos of midget amputees fucking.
They are always cut too short
Yes, yes it does. They’re always short and cut off instead of having long run times.
They never have a happy ending?
Starting off with a slow one right over the plate, hmm? I suspect we’ve failed at guessing correctly so many time you had to toss a pity reference out for us.

“The most recent breakdown of federal crime statistics bears that out. Black offenders were involved in about 15% of violent victimizations of white people between 2017 and 2021, according to data from the Bureau of Justice Statistics, which publishes multiyear crime trend reports every few years. White offenders were involved in over half of violence against other white people, the statistics show.”
So what’s the other 35% or I need more coffee?
“They’re not saying it was aliens….”
“Black-on-Black crime is a flawed premise, according to criminologists, because people of all racial groups experience crime due to their social networks and proximity to each other.
But in discussions about systemic racism in policing and the criminal justice system, it’s frequently argued that Black-on-Black crime should be the chief concern of Black communities — more than police brutality or racial profiling — because homicide has been a leading cause of death among Black men.”
What?
The numbers are damaging my world view so I will wish it away!
It’s flawed because it’s true. Why can’t you understand that?
Their pretzel logic is why they’re so salty.
The whole thing is gibberish. I wonder if the authors are actual people.
“Morrison runs the Associated Press team covering race and ethnicity in the U.S. and around the world. He previously was a national writer on the AP’s race and ethnicity news team.”

SOC. Shit of color.
Gee… maybe if y’all actually worked on a budget and the Dems actually recognized they’re in the minority this time around and they have to make concessions / not push for stuff the Flappy Wing can’t tolerate (like oh… extending health care funds for illegals when immigration crackdown is one of the primary focus points of the Flappy Base this time around) and be willling to compromise instead of preen for social media…. maybe just maybe they wouldn’t be in this position.
But governing is hard… preening and Continuous Resolutions has been working for them for over a decade now! (grumble bitch moan complain)
We need an amendment of something like if Congress fails to pass a budget within 30 days, all seats are vacated and a special election will occur. This process will continue until a budget is passed.
All the local school boards looking to pass bond measures every. fucking. election. perk up their ears….
Fuck the turtles.

Are they amputees? Midgets? Asking for a friend
They cosplay as amputees — just pull the legs back within the shells.
I wish I would be on the paid vacation side of the shutdown…never got to experience that.
Instead, Ill be expected to work which is fine, cause I actually do work.
Stories 2 and 3 are perfect examples of a citizenry fearfully submitting to politically chosen superiors. The US maybe has had enough of that shit but I fear England is too far gone.
Glad you do — and what a creep.
I’d almost start to think that the proposed systems of “jury duty” style politics (random selection from the eligible voters to serve as legislators) might be better than the “let’s attract all the corrupt and psychopathic!” we have now… but I know full well that a) The staffs would become the permanent actual deciders as the figureheads moved in and out and b) People, being people, would corrupt any system we try to device anyway. “That’s what he does… that’s ALL he does!”
See also the Franklin quote and that we need a moral people for any of this to work.
Tell everyone it is just a tool and to unwad their panties already?
I’m sure there’s a sub-reddit for that.
I can’t even figure out what that obsessively racist and tedious chin-stroker from AP is supposed to be expressing. Ignore the evidence in front of your eyes? Nothing to see here, move along? The play with capital letters does seem to imply a desired hierarchy, though.

Take a look at the district’s test scores.
“A retired Big Apple financier who worked for years at George Soros’ investment firm allegedly “tortured” former Playboy models and other women in a Midtown penthouse-turned-BDSM “sex dungeon” for about a decade, federal prosecutors said.
Howard Rubin, 70, was busted by the feds at his Fairfield, Conn., home Friday morning on sex-trafficking charges for allegedly luring “dozens” of women to New York City between 2009 and 2019 — where he restrained, beat and electrocuted them, the Brooklyn US Attorney’s Office said.”

Is everything sex trafficking?
Prostitution is definitionally trafficking in sex. The stolen base is pretending that what is being trafficked in are the women (or men as you prefer) who are doing the trafficking, rather than the sex acts they are using their agency to sell.
Why couldn’t it have been Jennifer Rubin?
Which one?
An 18-year old driving his 17-year old girlfriend to a motel in the next state for sex is “interstate sex trafficking of children”, so yes.
Apparently קול and כל are completely separate words.
I’d say it’s all Greek to me — but I’m post-Vatican II.
“Ian Roberts, who was born in Guyana, entered the United States in 1999 on a student visa and had received a deportation order from an immigration judge in May 2024. He had no work authorization, and had faced weapon possession charges several years ago”
Sounds like the deportation order should have been issued when his student visa expired, and assuming he disappeared from view then, enforced when he was arrested for weapons charges.
How did somebody with an expired visa/no work authorization get hired? By the fucking government, no less.
That is the rather interesting question that one hopes some law enforcement types might be looking at with fresh eyes, isn’t it?
Everyone was dazzled by his sartorial elegance.
“On Jan. 31, 2007, then-U.S. Sen. Biden filed paperwork to launch his campaign for president. On the same day, in remarks made that were audio-recorded by the New York Observer, Biden said of his fellow Democratic candidate, Obama, “I mean, you got the first sort of mainstream African-American.” An unidentified reporter responded, “Yeah.” Biden continued, “… who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that’s a storybook, man.”
It fits with Biden’s self-conception is King of the Blacks, who may declare at his whim who “ain’t black” based on political choices that displease him.
He’s like the Pope – he can excommunicate people who get on his bad side.

I’m still disappointed Ice Cube didn’t send his crew after them.
“In the days before his tragic death, Charlie Kirk and his wife Erika turned to prayer and the protection of the Church after hearing disturbing news that radical feminists had sought to curse him. According to LifeSiteNews, the feminist media outlet Jezebel “hired three witches to place curses on him” through the online marketplace Etsy in late August. Jezebel later published, then deleted, an article boasting of the hexes on September 8, just two days before Kirk was killed by a sniper’s bullet.
Media host Megyn Kelly shared on her podcast that Erika Kirk was especially shaken by the report of the curses. “Charlie and Erika Kirk heard about these curses, and that news genuinely rattled Erika, in particular,” Kelly said, recounting the widow’s words. Out of concern, Erika asked a priest friend to come to their home and pray over Charlie the night before his death. Kelly explained, “She loved Charlie absolutely, and she was scared when she heard of the curses Jezebel had called up, so much so that she and Charlie contacted a friend who I believe she said was a Catholic priest … and asked him to come over and pray with them, over Charlie, the night before he was murdered” ”

“Amy Griffin’s story of sexual abuse captured the likes of Oprah Winfrey, Reese Witherspoon, and Gwyneth Paltrow. It spent weeks on a New York Times (NYT) bestseller list. It reportedly raked in a $1 million advance.
The abuse may never have happened.
In her non-fiction memoir, “The Tell,” Griffin claims she was repeatedly raped by a middle-school teacher from the ages of 12 to 16. Griffin writes she first recalled the sexual abuse under the influence of MDMA.”

She had the Epstein client list.
She had information that would lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton.
“Spanberger was asked if she supports policies that allow for males who identify as transgender to go into women’s locker rooms and bathrooms. She responded, “Well, the circumstances this legal case plays out is really one of, we’ve had court cases settled or judged here in Virginia, in the 4th District.”
“The former Gavin Grimm case related to bathroom usage. And in fact, the argument is, the assessment is, there needs to be much clearer guidance in terms of what is an executive order’s binding assessment of Title IX versus what has been a decision of a court.””

[Iowa school superintendent’s arrest] also left questions about how, if ICE’s claims were proven, someone not authorized to work in the United States had managed to build a national profile and move from school district to school district.
I love the weasel-wording, the doubt-casting, and the attempt to blame ICE for the school district’s failure to do due diligence, or perhaps deliberate flaunting of the law.
The district has not been formally notified by ICE about this matter, nor have we been able to talk with Dr. Roberts since his detention.
LOL. Yeah, I don’t think they have to call the boss of arrestees/detainees.
Oh, the sense of aggrievement and surprise. Well-played, but damning for it’s obvious performativity.

The second is practically perilous, since a shutdown is guaranteed to hurt the economy — a dynamic Democrats have invoked over a long history of battling with Republicans to keep the government open.
What if they had a shutdown and nobody noticed?
It will probably hurt the economy statistically b/c of government expenditure being counted as part of GDP.
In reality it’s good for the economy for the government to stop spending, since most government work is net negative.
But I’m down with what you’re saying, as measured, there would be a decline.

Barking dogs should be shot.
I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.
Come shoot mine.
Why would I want to shoot your newsletter?
Everyone has a right to peaceful enjoyment of their property.
The owner should be fined, and if it continues, the dog taken away.
It’s annoying for sure. It’s usually a neglectful owner’s fault though. A little bit of barking is normal, but constant barking is usually dogs who are neglected and/or mistreated.
In my case, these are two dogs with STRONG guarding instincts and who trigger each other.
Maybe they are barking at the asshole next door.
Yes. And he is, for sure. Asshole blocked my attempt at getting a permit for a fence (“It will interfere with the view from my back yard.”) and I had to wait almost a year for him to be out of town when a zoning board meeting was scheduled.
Last laugh, though- I got the permit AND ended up on the board.
Why the fuck do you need a permit for a fence?
“I’m absolutely terrified about going through the same thing all over again,” said one federal worker who was fired and rehired this year as part of the Department of Government Efficiency’s cuts. “This kind of treatment is inhumane. I don’t even know how to prepare for the complete unknown.”
I hear they’re hiring at Circle K.
Learn to code dude.
One Department of Interior employee, who also requested anonymity, said that “as a middle-class American and as a mother,” she feels “disregarded and abandoned” because of the latest threats, as she preps for possible disruptions with her paycheck.
“I’ll go home today and take stock of my budget and pantry and make sure my family can ride out the next month or more, of whatever is coming,” the employee told CNN. “And then tomorrow, I’ll get up and come to work and do my best for America, until they tell me I can’t come to work anymore.”
She deserves a spot in the Tomb of the Unknown Apparatchik.
In the private sector the threat of layoffs happens every six months. Most times it’s because some asshat passed a regulation making it even more difficult to make a profit in the private sector.
So she can join the club now.
That’s DIFFERENT!
They had guarantees and plans!
The sense of entitlement is unreal.
It’s in stark contrast to the “government works for us” trope that we libertarians often encounter as a rebuttal.
They’re making it very clear (in case it wasn’t already) that they view government as a profit-seeking enterprise and themselves as the beneficiaries.
“old racial tropes’
AKA statistics.
Oh, woe
President Donald Trump’s executive order strapping a six-figure fee to the H1-B visa has created confusion for tech firms and the tens of thousands of foreign employees that the companies have depended on for their growth, according to immigration and business experts.
Trump and his officials touted the recent order to add a $100,000 fee for every H1-B application as one that would help create more job opportunities for Americans. This visa program allows U.S. employers to hire foreign workers in specialty occupations.
However, the president’s move will make it difficult for tech firms to expand U.S. operations or incentivize highly talented foreign workers to choose America as the place they launch their next big idea, Stuart Anderson, the executive director of non-partisan think tank National Foundation for American Policy, told ABC News.
It must really suck to live trapped in a miasma of fear and hopelessness. Cheer up, Eeyore.
I know it’s hard for you to believe, but sometimes change is good.
“The administration’s plan to shake up skilled immigration policy is fatally flawed.”
No idea if accurate. This outfit is very chamber-of-commerce so who knows.
Just impressed how often various sources come to exact opposite conclusions on every issue.
incentivize highly talented foreign workers to choose America as the place they launch their next big idea
That’s exactly how H1B visas work.
Reality: H1Bs are used to depress American wages & employment by importing foreign labor that is tied to the importing employer using dubious qualifications for the job opening.
And everyone fucking knows it.
Crazy eyes.

Jeremy Robbins, the executive director of nonprofit advocacy group the American Immigration Council, told ABC News that smaller start-up firms are crucial for the tech industry’s growth. Every major tech company started off as a smaller mom and pop start-up that blossomed due to the right developer or engineer who cracked the code to bring an app or tech product across the finish line.
Americans could never do that.
Mom and pops are the ones hiring H1Bs. Sure, Jan.
