Seattle went to Canada and took Game 1 of the ALCS against the flappy-headed menace. The Chiefs held the Lions in check. The Steelers are, shockingly, in firm control of the AFC North. The Patriots keep winning games. And in CFB, James Franklin went from one overtime possession 16 days ago from moving up to #2 to firing James Franklin. To say that was a shocking turn of events would be an understatement. But that’s what happens when you go from just losing every game against top 10 opponents to losing to UCLA and Northwestern in consecutive weeks. And that’s pretty much it for sports.
Stop talking and do it already. Get rid of that cancer.
This is looking good for now. Hopefully it lasts for a bit, Israel identifies every Hamas member and sympathizer it can in Gaza, and then they go kill every single one of them over a weekend. Sorry, but those savages don’t deserve a single moment of peace in their miserable lives.
Speaking of people deserving death. Find a bunch of rope and erect the gibbets.
“Let’s make public transit even worse.” Sorry, but I don’t think taking people who would attack a driver over $2 and letting them ride with normies for free is gonna end up with positive results.
This is insane. It’s also not the least bit surprising.
Get your popcorn! It’s gonna be hilarious when the left demands our troops not get paid while they keep voting against reopening the government.
Oh, no! Just so we’re clear, this is the climate conference wealthy and powerful people are flying to in the Amazon rainforest from all over the world, most on private jets, to tell normal people that they’re terrible and must completely change their lives in order to “fix” things.
This seems pretty simple to me: If you’re drawing district lines specifically with race in mind, that’s discrimination. In fact, it’s the textbook definition of racism.
“But the weather there makes it all worthwhile.” I swear, I don’t know how people in SoCal do it. Literally everything costs more there and the government just takes and takes and takes. Yet they keep electing the same gaggle of idiots to run them further into the ground.
Can you blame him? I’d do the same if I had to live in Bryan. Side note: that’s one of the best twitter accounts on weekends in the fall. Absolutely hilarious.
We’re gonna rock today. All of us. Together. So get those toes tapping. Enjoy them both.
And enjoy this lovely Monday/holiday/whatever it is for you.
“they go kill every single one of them over a weekend”
That would break the peace.
Briefly
There are plenty of non-Hamas Arabs looking for any justification to attack Israel.
We’re defining “every single one of them” differently
You missed the words “and sympathizer.”
Then you would have to kill millions of people in many countries, which would generate more sympathizers….
There are around 13 Million Jews and 1.9 Billion Muslims in the world.
You missed the words “in Gaza.”
*shrug*
I’m not convinced Yoruba tribesmen are going to be willing or able to get to Tel Aviv to play suicide bomber if Gaza and the West Bank are cleared. And I am pretty sure they all already accept the idea that Jews should be killed, so I am not buying the “we have to let Hamas et al. survive or else people will hate us” argument. Violence only creates new enemies if you do too little of it. Old Nicolo was right about the danger of doing an enemy a small injury. Neither the Germans nor the Japanese had resistance movements after WWII, because we broke them.
I don’t want to get in a stupid argument. You know that many other countries (Iran, Qatar, Jordan, etc.) are already involved, and would retaliate.
You know that many other countries (Iran, Qatar, Jordan, etc.) are already involved, and would retaliate.
You sure about that? Think they’d all be willing to step up to get their asses kicked over the “palestinians”?
Hamas caved because of the Qatar strikes. Suddenly Qatar became fair game for the first time, and their rulers said no more to the Hamas leadership. Return the hostages or else they can no longer stay there.
Much like the West is fine with funding the slaughter in Ukraine as long as it stays in Ukraine, the Arab world was fine with backing Hamas as long as it stayed confined to Gaza and Israel. Actually having skin in the game changed the entire calculus.
Yeah, I don’t think even the nominal sign-on by Hamas after the Qatar strike was entirely coincidental. Whether it was the Qataris leaning on them or the realization that Israel was no longer giving them immunity, i couldn’t say. Being intransigent basically had no (personal) downside for the Hamas leadership until then. I mean, dead Gazans? Who cares. Dead cannon fodder? We’ll make more.
Being directly targeted by Mossad? Well, that’s different.
“,Much like the West is fine with funding the slaughter in Ukraine as long as it stays in Ukraine, the Arab world was fine with backing Hamas as long as it stayed confined to Gaza and Israel. Actually having skin in the game changed the entire calculus.”
So much this. The moment the rules changed where there was no safe base, the monsters playing this evil game that kills others, decided to call uncle.
About 1.8 billion and then peace.
Are you calling in Swiss to narrow Gaza?
Ugh. Typos are my nemesis.
Typos are my calling card.
Happy Lost Guinea finds a new continent day!
Biden let in around 450,000 unaccompanied minors, and the government “lost” about half of them. But most of those are icky brown kids, not Karen’s kids, so no one cares.
Those are non-GMO, organic, free range kids. Trump wants to put them in cages, doesn’t that idiot know they’re worth more when they’re cage free?
Given how many cartel-trafficked minors came in with the PPP Open Borders policies… forgive me if I think there are probably multiple people in multiple levels of government that also need investigation here for profiting off of or participating in such schemes. I just don’t buy that they all collectively shrugged and said “Yeah… mass Central / South American sex slave minor convoys… what are you gonna do?”
Oh, please don’t think I wasn’t referring to them as well. There’s plenty of rope to go around.
This reads like the usual moral panic and I note that the article says that all of 6 of them were survivors of sexual assault. In other words, just a typical major urban center weekend.
This reads like the usual moral panic
Yeah, when Epstein was a PEDOphile, every prostitution bust is a dangerous sex trafficking operation, and 17,18,19 year olds willingly (to the degree someone with the absolutely fucked up life that led to it being the seeming best option anyway) engaging in prostitution are exploited sex slaves with no agency, I’m leery of jumping on the whole moral panic child sex trafficking band wagon. May be true, such things have existed in the past and in other cultures, but breathless reporting on south american sex slave trafficking isn’t enough for me to pull out the guillotine just yet.
Yeah — pretty sure I remember other stories like that over the last few years. All the “you’re abusing kids if you don’t agree to their self-image this week” BS taken to the natural conclusion in the states that foster it. Yay.
“But the couple say the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families (DCF) pulled their license because they refused to sign a clause requiring foster parents to ‘support, respect, and affirm a foster child’s sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression.’
It put them in a position where they were essentially forced them to choose between their religion and the vulnerable children they had dedicated their lives to helping.”
People keep mentioning religious exceptions, ignoring that trans kids is just bad medicine.
“A report from the Massachusetts Commission on LGBTQ Youth estimated that around 30 percent of foster children in the state identify as LGBTQ, a similar figure to data in California and New York.”
OFFS!!
Victims of abuse often end up sexually confused, and the incidence of abuse among children in foster care is very high.
The number of children who identify as LGBTQ are higher in blue states/cities.
So’s the incidence of abuse 🙂
Is that true? I wouldn’t think child abuse had anything to do with ideology.
Oh for god’s sake I was trying be funny, obviously the reported rates in blue locales are because they bend over backwards to reward kids for identifying as queer, but about 20 of us point that out every damn day. It gets boring listening to people be fraught in the same ways about the same things.
The fact that anyone takes this at all seriously is just… insane.
Does anyone pause to actually think about anything anymore?
Around 40% of fay men when surveyed said they had been abused.
‘support, respect, and affirm a foster child’s sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression.’
One of those things is not like the other ones. And in the case of LGB teens, I’d be okay with the foster family simply respecting the kids sexuality, ie not telling them they’re going to burn in hell; they don’t have to support or affirm jack. But the real solution here is to not place LGB kids in households that are hostile to them. That circles back to discrimination, but there’s no way I can see to solve this without someone being discriminated against.
I will note that Fundamentalists and Evangelicals are over-represented among foster families, and LGB youth are over-represented among foster children.
That’s not very progressive of you.
Man, the stupid games drunks try to play have really escalated! When I was young it was cow tipping, now they tip climates?
It’s hilarious watching the MSM’s piles of lies getting more and more ridiculous as more people wake up to that scam.
Unfortunately there really is a tipping point for trust. Once you have caught someone lying to you enough times you no longer believe anything they say. They should have never stopped teaching the story of the boy who cried wolf.
I don’t think Schumer wants to hear my solution to this conundrum. I’d “cave” and let them have medical expenses fully paid for all illegals like they want — and go into overdrive on deportations (prosecutions of employers, etc… y’all know the drill). That budget line item would go to zero eventually, so they could have their short term victory and get on with things.
I’d tell Schumer to go fuck himself, and take a flamethrower to every benefit program, laundered through NGOs or not, going toward illegals. You’ll get rid of a lot more of them, a lot more cheaply, by cutting off the gravy train.
Yup. Eliminate every dollar going to a blue state or blue city. Same blackmail Vlinton used to lower the bar for drunk driving in every state. Force the blue cities and states to raise their own money by mulcting their residents further.

So send the private jets to pick up the under age hookers and over age booze and bring them to their homes? Hmm, I guess that could work.

You don’t understand, the problem has become the Republicans figured out how to narrow down the number of Democrat seats and that is bad.
And to suppress white votes. But I guess it’s racist to note that, except when the left brags about it. Whee!

Federal Government Shutdown – Furloughed Edition
The notice came swift, via Pony Express. I was furloughed…for a day…I normally wouldn’t work anyway.
I ponder the rider who brought me this letter; have they been waiting in the dark for their moment to rise once again to relevancy?
On my typical non-furloughed four day weekend, I would have done chores, tended the lawn, prepared for the week. Yet, I still did those things knowing I was furloughed for 8 hours. I persist only because of my indifference.
I would speak of work, or perhaps check my email, but I am forbidden to do nothing, yet ordered…to do nothing. It confuses me.
I will remain ever faithfully in eternity, your public servant. OBE, October 13, 2025
Pony Express? This implies that somewhere there is an essential farrier.
I assume they’re perpetually grumpy… a real horseshoe crab, if you will.
Nah, they are just horsing around hammered. The complaints are all ironic.
So you’re gonna horse around all day?
Dammit.
Tomorrow I ferry the farrier from his home to where our horses are, since he’s Amish.
Is the farrier that you ferry a fairy, or a furner?
The furners were all deported
Fairies can’t touch iron Zwak, there are no fairy farriers.
Go to Liverpool and see the farrier across the Mersey.
Get back to work.
I would report to you what this outage is, but it would be considered against the law for me to do so today
It’s the coffee machine in the tower isn’t it?
The coffee machine is fine. They had to sacrifice the aviation systems to free an outlet for it.
You jest but I have seen them unplug their tower display (think old school radar screen) in a tower to plug in a floor heater only to call us to say the display just randomly failed.
The tower displays don’t have a dedicated outlet that’s tamper-resistant?
Well they are dedicated, labelled as such (not twist locked thoug), but what do you want? A frozen controller in 68 deg tower?
A frozen controller in 68 deg tower?
Tell me you have women air controllers without saying you do.
You’d think…but its usually the dudes who are complaining
I love these reports.
Its funny how they notified us. Via email on a Saturday in which we are not supposed to check on days off during shutdown to inform us that we are not allowed to “volunteer” our time during furlough status.
Heller couldn’t have predicted any better
we are not allowed to “volunteer” our time during furlough status.
Perfect. That from the govt itself or a union? (are you in a union?)
Government itself. Our (PASS) union is absolutely worthless in terms of PubSec union.
Checking in they are still upset about WFH being denied.

I’ll believe the Trump actually wants to cut government when Trump goes to bat for this bill like he went to bat for the Big Beautiful Bill.
Massie’s bill is only half the answer, the other half is canceling and defunding everything program under the department.
I read the bill. I read the bill when Massie first introduced it years ago. He’s introduced this every session for the last several sessions. Rand Paul usually introduces a version of it in the Senate.
HR 2691 is a better version though it keeps two programs around, but I like pointing out the Massie version since that involves tweaking Trump.
To be fair, that is not the issue. Half of riders already don’t pay and the drivers are probably told not to resist because why would they when nobody will have have their back.
The issue is the taxpayer should not be forking over half a billion dollars every year to make up the for the theft.
I thought when they proposed this pilot program they went out of their way to note how many drivers had been attacked by fare evaders.
Perhaps. Most of those attacks are from addicts or the mentally ill. Just noting that many millions more already don’t pay and face no consequences whatsoever.
You must not be familiar with “Better off dead“
Look, those kids are better off in a state facility than being cared for by fucking Christians.

A lot of those homes would cease to exist as soon as the almighty State payments to them stopped.

Of course they are! The state will indoctrinate them to be good little marxists, while those religious types might inculcate values that are antimetrical to said marxist state!!
What I want to know is: why free transport, when everything a person needs is supposed to be within 15 minutes of walking?

Yeah, using them to drive people to the camps where they implement their final solution…

“The bloodshed began Saturday near the city’s Jordanian Hospital, when Hamas security forces exchanged gunfire with members of the Dughmush family — one of Gaza’s most powerful clans, long at odds with Hamas, the BBC reported.
Residents described chaos in Gaza City’s Tel al-Hawa neighborhood as hundreds of Hamas fighters advanced on a residential block defended by Dughmush gunmen, sparking intense street battles.
At least eight members of Hamas and 19 members of the Dughmush clan were killed in the most intense internal infighting since Israeli troops began leaving the enclave.”

I hope the U.S. doesn’t get stuck trying to babysit these assholes.
Religion of peace eh?
There was a really interesting op-ed in the WSJ last month from one of these clans. I think in the West Bank, but might have been Gaza. He was claiming that his family clan and the others were ready to rise up against Hamas, make peace with Israel, and rebuild Palestine. He claimed that the IDF and Mossad are protecting Hamas and would obliterate the clans if they ever engaged in true force. I don’t remember fully, but I think he called on Israel and Trump to call off the IDF/Mossad in the op-ed to give him and the clans freedom to fight back.
“Oh, look. A bunch of Palestinians are saying if we call off the whole thing they’ll behave, pinky-swear.”
I can see why the Israelis declined the offer.
RC, not that. In the Op-Ed at least, the clans weren’t asking anything from Israel other than to give them free reign to engage Hamas. There were no conditions attached or if-then statements. Just to stop protecting Hamas.
The clan claimed that they are capable and willing right now to overthrow Hamas, but whenever they move in force, Israel moves in to protect Hamas either through targeted assassination of clan leaders or IDF strikes on their clan forces.
Just to stop protecting Hamas.
I know Israel is famous for accepting the devil-they-know amongst their enemies, but that one is a stretch.
No comments on the veracity of the claim. It was interesting to see though. And in the WSJ op-ed, not some just minor news outlet. Really it was more of a plea than anything else.
*I have no comments on the veracity.
I know Israel is famous for accepting the devil-they-know amongst their enemies, but that one is a stretch.
Israel did fund Hamas back in the day as a counterbalance to the PLO. WSJ had a long article several years ago on it.
I have the wrong article. That WSJ article doesn’t talk about funding, but does talk about support for Hamas as a counter to the PLO.
I don’t remember where I saw the funding claims.
Yeah, let’s make a bunch of warring tribal clans a “state”.
What could possibly go wrong. 🙄
How about we don’t and say we didn’t.
Nothing a few squadrons of B-52s can’t solve.
I still am of the opinion Israel should have just leveled Gaza and send all these people to meet their god in hell. They will pretend to play nice for a while, rob the usual Jew hating morons in the EU and the US (not to mention the CCP) blind, use the money to buy and make weapons, and repeat their attempt to kill Jews. The goal of the barbarians is to exterminate Jews so they can get to the work of exterminating the rest of us.

“Would you like a book that smells like garlic? Didn’t think so. But that didn’t stop author Jennifer L Armentrout from using garlic-infused ink to print 1,000 copies of her new novel The Primal of Blood and Bone.
Seem strange? Maybe less so if I explain that the book is the latest instalment in a “romantasy” series that features Vampry (vampires) and Craven (sort of zombie vampires). Even then, this garlic business doesn’t quite add up. In Armentrout’s six-book saga (not including its four-book prequel), there is literally no mention of garlic repelling vampires. It’s only when you open TikTok that the special edition makes sense – it’s a “partnership” with the mayonnaise brand Hellmann’s. A quick search and my screen is full of excited readers opening coffin-shaped packages that contain the special smelly book and a free bottle of Hellmann’s garlic aioli.

“Get in, loser. We’re hiding the Epstein files.”
Okay, okay — I can’t prove that’s what Attorney General Pam Bondi said to one of her fellow blonde aides that trailed her into last week’s Senate Judiciary Committee meeting. But her strategy appeared to be mimicking Regina George from 2004’s “Mean Girls” throughout the hearing. Like all Method actors, I assume she was in character before she even hit the stage. Can Rachel McAdams sue the attorney general for this half-baked theft of her iconic movie villain? The resemblance was too strong to be a coincidence: The ever-present sneer. The tantrums.

They need to stop pushing trans kids, and trans cartoon animals, on kids shows.
Paging suthen to post that quote about how the left gains power by making you agree to obvious bullshit that’s staring you in the face….
That crap started around 2012.
It’s in everything now.
Even Bluey has a character with two moms.
You have to prewatch everything if you have kids.
Can’t believe I missed this today.

I guess they still can’t believe that men never bought into all the weird shit they tried to shove down our throats.
OMG, what a hilarious article! Also, what kind of cuck married her?
Look at the third paragraph. This broad is so self-absorbed that she couldn’t even include “my husband and” in her hyperlink letting everybody know that she got married.
And in that article, she doesn’t even mention anything about him aside from the fact that he’s marrying HER.

“The male gaze came roaring back this summer, with an advertisement featuring Sydney Sweeney.”
Is there anything she can’t do?
These are also the people saying how good it is that the NFL is sticking it to Trump with the Bad Bunny halftime show.
” The culprit, I have learned, is the male gaze.”
Actually, it’s the male gays who run the fashion industry.
‘The culprit’
Maybe don’t be a loser.
Also, the ‘male gaze’ is the only reason there are any humans alive right now. Of course, lefties think that is a bad thing.
It’s almost like men resent being treated like defective women or something.
It’s comforting to me that when I read that, it sounds really dated. They tried it their way, it was a disaster, and now we’re reverting back to the mean. But to them, it wasn’t a disaster, and we’re going backward.
Why are the people complaining about the male gaze either fugly land whales with tatoos, colored hair, and nose rings that no man wants to look at other than to get rid of a priapism, or good lucking women that are mad because the guy looking isn’t a six figure income, over 6 foot tall, and has six packs guy?
And then what about all the hoes writing articles about how hard it is to get guys to notice them and buy them drinks or ask them on a date?
Too many women are psychotic.
“We don’t want masked folks with rifles and machine guns patrolling our streets,” Obama added later. “We want cops on the beat who know the neighborhood and the kids around, and that’s how we keep the peace around here.”
Stop it. You’re killing me.
Charlie Kirk’s last words?
Now talk about the Dem mayors and governors ordering the police to stand down and allow the commie ratfucks to attack and assault federal agents with impunity.
LOL old school.
Dem mayors and governors don’t even want that anymore. They would rather accept hundreds of murders every year than admit that crime is out of control in certain areas (and has been for decades).
OMB is the first president in my lifetime to point this out and it’s making the left lose their shit.
Well, murder is no where near as bad as racism!

Gun industry speculation:
SIG knows they are in trouble and are cutting back expenses and/or interest in the competition market.
Last week they cut two of their biggest-name sponsored shooters: Max Michel and Lena Miculek (I did notice Lena putting out some material that makes her looks like a great brand ambassador… I wonder if she knew this was coming?)
SIG has been the title sponsor for most/all of the USPSA Nationals matches for a few years now. For Race Gun Nationals, they’re waaaay down at the “silver” level:
https://racegun.uspsamatches.com/sponsors/
Related to RGN sponsors, Greater Zion has been sending me stuff via my Practiscore registrations, so they’re at least smarter than most. Then again, maybe they just have a vastly more competent tourism board than the other locations that have hosted Nats in the past. Then again again, maybe they just have more to offer than the Greater Columbus and Greater Frostproof areas?
Who wants to go to Columbus anyway?
To make that comment on today of all days. Tsk, tsk.
I used to hear a lot of shooters bitching about the lack of things to do in Frostproof, so that might be something. Dunno about Columbus. St. George definitely has outdoor/touristy stuff in large quantities. It also has some adventure opportunities – the only time I ever had to MUC a crackhead was at the St. George Denny’s, during the 2014 3GN Nats…
“Despite some left-wing thought pieces as of late declaring lifting and fitness a “right-wing” phenomenon, a gym in Canada is apparently looking to buck that trend, charging white gymgoers more than those of color.
R studios, a “yoga and Pilates studio” that the owner has billed as a place that was “created for the misfits, the non-conformists, [and] the everyday person,” announced that it would be charging CA$30 for a studio drop in, but that those who are “BIPOC” (black, indigenous, and people of color), would be able to drop in for a class for CA$15….
After the backlash, it was reported that the location took down the discount. The gym quietly removed the reference to the race-based pricing as well as locked the comments sections on their social media posts.”
https://thepostmillennial.com/white-people-charged-twice-as-much-by-woke-canadian-gym-as-bipoc-members
No discount for 2SLGBTQAA+?
Of course nothing else will happen because Canada, but I hope some pudgy white guy sues them and gets the keys to the place.
Couldn’t anyone identify as BIPOC to get the discount?
I like when assholes make it easy to identify them so I can avoid them at all costs. By burying it, now it becomes possible I might give them money by accident.
This.
They took down the ad, but are probably still doing the pricing.
How had these discarded ideas made their way back into circulation? Didn’t we all agree we were through with them?
These people don’t live in a bubble. They live in a bathysphere.
Guess what, Tubby; the male gaze never went anywhere.
It never went anywhere, and most chicks dig it!
A leftist’s position is not “west bad”.
But if you do serious leftist analysis concerning factors beyond yo yt ass border, you’d find “bad” to be very highly correlated with “west” for obvious reason.

so west bad.
Never mind that “leftism” is western also.
American Eagle –– whose partner brand Aerie has been known for marketing underwear to women with imagery that celebrated stretch marks, cellulite and a range of body sizes — ran a controversial ad campaign starting in July. The ads sell jeans to women featuring actor Sydney Sweeney, who many men see as a sex symbol, insinuating the clothing would make men find them more attractive.
Based on what I saw, she was advertising baggy comfy well made jeans. It’s not the pants, Chumley, it’s who’s wearing them.
“…insinuating the clothing would make men find them more attractive.”
A clothing company was suggesting in its advertising that wearing its product would be flattering? What an outrage!
CNN editor: We need you to write a 20-paragraph article immediately! We don’t care how completely idiotic it is.
Is Higher Education even interested in reform?
A new featured article by the AAUP calls viewpoint diversity anathema to academic freedom. Where to even begin?
https://eternallyradicalidea.com/p/is-higher-education-even-interested?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&r=wylle&triedRedirect=true
Viewpoint diversity functions in direct opposition to the pursuit of truth, the principal aim of academia.”
Thesis 2: “Viewpoint diversity can only work as an instrumental value.”
Thesis 3: “Viewpoint diversity assumes a partisan goal based on unproven premises.”
Thesis 4: “Viewpoint diversity undermines disciplinary and specialized knowledge and standards as well as the autonomy of academic reasoning and scholarship.”
Thesis 5: “Viewpoint diversity is incoherent.”
Thesis 6: “Viewpoint diversity has already been used, both in the United States and abroad, to attack higher education and stifle academic freedom.”
Thesis 7: “The argument for viewpoint diversity is made in bad faith.”
Seven theses so stupid only an academic could have thought of them.
I have an idea on how to fix this but I dont think anyone is going to like it.
Let me take a quick pass at this: stop the marxist indoctrination and focus on teaching kids to read, write, do math, think logically, and whoop the ass of any kids acting up? I can guarantee you the current teacher’s union and the bulk of their cadre want none of that, cause the goal is the marxist indoctrination. They want an army of inept revolutionary morons.
The notion of wrecking human progress, prosperity and happiness is so antithetical to my way of thinking that I cannot imagine how those people come to that. I watch what goes on every day and I think we must be different species.
I am very disappointed that AAUP could come up with a hack of at least minimal cleverness.
AAUP Presidentb(mentioned in that article) – Wolfson is an associate professor in the Department of Journalism and Media Studies at Rutgers University. He is an anthropologist by training as in “Ph.D., Anthropology and Social and Cultural Foundations of Education” from Penn.
What could possibly be wrong with the products (students getting Bachelor degrees) out of such programs?
Commies know there is only one correct way to think. Film at 11.
Who’s going to nail them to the doors of the Department of Education?
And why would anyone at a university spend time nailing theses, when they could be nailing co-eds!
Viewpoint diversity functions in direct opposition to the pursuit of truth, the principal aim of academia.”
The truth is the truth, man.
It’s settled science. Do not question the priests.
Can we finally admit the leftist multiculturalist agenda was a massive disaster and needs to be rethought?
I remember that excellent line from one of the Indiana Jones flicks – “Archeology is the search for fact, not truth. If it’s truth you’re interested in, Dr. Tyree’s Philosophy class is right down the hall.”
“Brodie, who represents Vancouver–Quilchena, told the assembly she had spoken with a father whose eight-year-old son was encouraged at school to believe he was actually a girl. She alleged that teachers used a different name and pronouns for the child without informing his parents and that “a psychologist is already discussing puberty blockers, despite having never met the child.”

Inspiring story about a conference trying to get more Indians into STEM fields.
Stone age science?
To be fair, very few medieval and renaissance cathedrals were built by licensed architects and PEs.
But the Obama Presidential Library is!
Yeah, you just need a good vision. As for math, we’ll collapse that bridge when we get to it.
There’s so many ways to get to becoming an architect.
Geez, not very good with English either.
Indigenous identity and Indigenous philosophy are interwoven with math, science and technology
The math shows that when Indigenous Philosophy met science and technology it ended up on the Rez.
Just shows how racist math is.
Not sure how you can square this circle, but apparently the Tribes need to get data from the White Eyes at The Fed. Maybe that is why they are trying to get their kids into STEM?
square this circle
Your link certainly tries.
JI:
I was using my Indigenous linking skillz. Here is another link using Colonialist links
Holy fuck. Yes you damn well do need to be good at math to be an architect, or scientist. And indigenous ways of knowing didn’t seem to help those “indigenous ancestor scientists” make any actual scientific advancements beyond the stone age.
Eh. Being honest and observant is a lot more important. Jane Goodall had fuckall qualifications IIRC. And those stone age peasants built villages on the sides of cliffs that are still standing.
I’m actually re-taking all my college math classes on Khan Academy right now. It’s been something of a surprise how much I’ve been enjoying it…
Evil Sheldon:
It is amazing how interesting math (and maybe even enjoyable) can be when you are learning it to become smarter and not just to get a grade and move along the path to getting a degree.
Architect is a lisence created by developers to keep lowly home builders from building anything bigger than three stories or commercial buildings over an arbitrary square footage.
It’s meaningless.
You used to be able to find load ratings for steel beams in building handbooks. Now you have to hire an engineer or an architect because they have secret knowledge and a state issued lisence.

Fuck, I hate Columbus Day.
Columbus was a Grade A Prime asshole. Even his contemporaries thought he was a tyrant who abused both the natives and the colonists.
On the other hand, the current shitting on his legacy by the woke is over the top. The guy did start the interaction between Europe and the Americas.
Just seems to be a Monday when everyone fights and there are no good guys.
Columbus was a Great Man but he wasn’t a great man.
Very few are
The track record of Great Men being good men is pretty poor, I suspect.
This holiday is a product of placating Italian-Americans, Knights of Columbus being the prime movers.
You gonna be sleeping with the fishes…
The way I’ve heard it explained is that succeeding generations of Spaniards did far worse than anything Columbus did personally.
But everything must be political and viewed thru a current year lens now, so the fights will continue until only the correct opinion is left.
Some of that is Black Legend nonsense — English propaganda against Spain.
This is going good for now.
Don’t negotiate with terrorists or the demon they worship.

How do you “shut down” Soros?
What is the crime he can be charged with? If they find one, it will take years to prosecute anyway, so until then, he and his kid and the other radical billionaires like Bill Gates will face no hurdles whatsoever pushing more and more of this nonsense.

Monday I fly out. I guess I should probably do the last minute gun cleaning/maintenance by Friday.
You know better than to clean a gun, then not test-fire it, before a major…
Right. So I need to do it by Friday so I can shoot it at matches Sat and Sun.
Also, I picked up the P220 over the weekend. The position of the mag release negates any advantage to it being swappable. Also the lock on the CR Speed Ultra holster is pretty terrible. However, the holster was picked up off a prize table, and the gun was 40+% off, so I’m not going to complain too much.
The Guga Ribas universal race holster is my current favorite “no they don’t make a holster specific for that gun” option.
I once got the random TSA swab check for a flight on a Monday, after I’d been shooting that Sunday. I told them about it so no one freaked out.
I had not considered that.

The warning in the Global Tipping Points report by 160 researchers worldwide, which synthesizes groundbreaking science to estimate points of no return, comes just weeks ahead of this year’s COP30 climate summit being held at the edge of the Amazon rainforest in Brazil.
That same rainforest system is now at risk of collapsing once the average global temperature warms beyond just 1.5 degrees Celsius based on deforestation rates, the report said, revising down the estimated threshold for the Amazon.
Also of concern if temperatures keep rising is the threat of disruption to the major ocean current called the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, or AMOC, which helps to ensure mild winters in northern Europe.
“Change is happening fast now, tragically, in parts of the climate, the biosphere,” said environmental scientist Tim Lenton at the University of Exeter, who is the lead author of the report.
Toppling like dominoes. Earth will be as lifeless as the moon in a matter of weeks.

How do you “shut down” Soros?
How do you shut down McKenzie Scott (nee Bezos), who is firehousing her guilt tribute in all directions? Is there anybody who seriously believes she has the vaguest notion of where her “philanthropy” ends up?
And the Ford Foundation, etc., etc., etc.
Exactly. I’d say it’s next to impossible to “shut down” some billionaire with an army of lawyers and the 1st Amendment backing them up, when they can plausibly claim innocence of any of the illegal activities during protests that they might find. You can go after the low antifa footsoldiers and maybe even move up one or two rungs on the hierarchy, but that really is probably as far as you can get without actually using the “fascist” tactics of which they are accusing the admin of perpetrating.
There are many ways. They all require a certain amount of hard work.
For one thing, you start investigating the foundations for providing material support to a designated terrorist organization. That will cause a fair amount of the easy money to dry up. “Oops, I didn’t know they were terrorists!”, isn’t going to fly as an excuse.
In between Soros, Gates, Neville, et al, and the low-level Antifa riot fodder, there’s going to be some trusted paymasters who make sure the money gets to the right places. Those are the ones you go after on terrorism-related charges.
Do you want to see my shocked face?

JPMorgan Chase on Monday said it is launching a decade-long plan to help finance and take direct stakes in companies it considers crucial to U.S. interests.
The bank said in a statement it would invest up to $10 billion into companies in four areas: defense and aerospace, “frontier” technologies including artificial intelligence and quantum computing, energy technology including batteries, and supply chain and advanced manufacturing.
The money is part of a broader effort, dubbed the Security and Resiliency Initiative, in which JPMorgan said it will finance or facilitate $1.5 trillion in funding for companies it identifies as crucial. It said the total amount is 50% more than a previous plan.
I hope they call it the Merchants of Death fund.
And the Ford Foundation, etc., etc., etc.
Yes, I just happened to see a story about a massive “no strings attached” money dump by Scott the other day.
