I wonder which Glib this is?
Good Morning and Happy New Year. I know none of you are up and reading these, but the forms must be obeyed.
- Illinois has its usual pile of steaming crap taking effect January 1, but the strangest one I saw was the Horse Therapy one.
- College Feetsball schedule o’ games. BTW – if you missed the Pop Tarts Bowl, don’t make that mistake again next season! Kudos to the BYU coach for leaning into the joke.
- You don’t say?!
- Brett L adds: How ’bout them Longhorns? An otherwise bright spot on a dark day where we make sure that Sloopy survived his threatened “walk from Jerryworld to the hotel”. As if Arlington had poors.
OK, the post belongs to you all.
Music by Brett L: New Year’s Day – Not the faggy U2 song
Happy New Year all!
Happy New Year to you, too.
Happy New Year and all that.
Cold-ish but sunny day here.
The cafes that were open were packed. the ones that were closed must not like money. Surprises me every year.
Coating of snow and blustery wind to start the year here. And no hangover, even stayed awake until midnight last night – which is rare.
Went to sleep at 3 woke up at 9… Also no hangover
Happy New Year! And to everyone!
Stayed up enough to hear the local fireworks. Dusting of snow in the night, had to brush off the car. Mid 20’s right now. Third noticeable snow so far this season which is unusual for the PA-DE state line.
Glad to see you’re OK, Swiss.
Shit…that is terrible.
Does dry January start today or tomorrow?
I assumed it started Monday.
Happy New Year!
What new spoor of madness is this?
From last year…
I was thinking “today”. That’s the plan, anyway.
I started 4 days ago. But most start today.
Not today. Rain started overnight. Maybe in a week.
Good Morning.
Its a new day, a new month, and a new year.
A great new start.
Morning.
How are you, the wife, and the sheepies?
We are mostly well. Big garden dreams, learned new things, Just need to resolve the 2 1/2 year lawsuit against that us that seems to have stalled out.
Good luck. Are you past the hard part?
When you’re getting deep-dicked by the legal system, I think it’s hard all the way to the base of the shaft.
I am not sure if i am past the hard part.
Wife is mostly recovered from Feb incident, still seems to have bone movement in her pelvis, but she is able to do some walking. She still has other physical issues.
we have been doing family therapy with her son and she has a new diagnoses that i agree with, i think its awesome becuase now we know which direction to treat, but she feels ashamed about it. Still has SI episodes.
Her criminal stuff is behind her as the court basically said they dont want to deal with it. (our neighbor the now state representative was calling the inidan DA even on that day complaining about it) [Sir there is a thing called the first ammendment…..]
It does get slightly depressing to deal with all these issues. But that is why i love this website and all of the people who post here. The snark/saracism/ good thinking gives me the fuel to carry on. THANK YOU ALL for being here in some capacity.
Still has SI episodes.

Good morning and Happy New Year ‘bodru, U, Pie (afternoon for you,) JI, Drake, Ted’S., and Beau!
Same to you GT.
I am sad to report that I lost in the lottery yesterday
Last week I won $4, enough to buy two more losing tickets!
You’re their target demographic.
I also won $4. But I think I have to go back to New York to claim it.
Wonder how many lift assist calls Governor Lardass of Illinois generates?
So what was the unlikeliest college football team to win the championship in the past say 20 years? Can Miami win it?
I would say OSU last year. Two losses, didn’t make the conference championship game and then went on a playoff tear. It will be really interesting to see if any of the teams with a bye can actually win today. If not, expect the format to change next year. With any luck today there will be four conferences represented in the semi-finals – that might shut up both the SEC and B1G loudmouths.
Narrator: no it won’t
Happy new year! Just shaking off the effects of last night’s pot cookie before I head to the gym.
Happy New Year, TOK!
I can’t believe I missed the Snoop Dogg Bowl. 😔
So did I, as I was out to dinner with my siblings. My alma mater lost, as all the pundits predicted they would. 😢
Via Con Huevos, everyone!
“I wonder which Glib this is?”
Whoever it is, they didn’t even finish the bottle. What a lightweight.
Wood chucks and groundhogs, they all look the same to me.
A teensy bit of snow, enough to require 10 minutes of light scraping though.
Good to see a new year, about time.
How much ground would a groundhog hog if a groundhog could hog ground?
Come to think of it, there have long been some groundhogs hogging the ground under our next door neighbor’s shed, so there’s one possible answer.
Woodchuck, ground hog, marmot, all the same thing, far as I know:
Varmint.
We’ll have to see if any of today’s games top last night; I’m thinking Oregon-Texas Tech is going to be the equal.
One can hope for SMOD…
I’m saving that for Stillers/Ravens.
Well as one not invested in either side I thought it was a pretty good game.
I am so reminded of the 2016 Republican primary. The only thing is – one of these clowns will actually be the Dem nominee.
Does CommaLa have another $2B to waste?
She might get up to 2% support from her party this go around, what with the name recognition and all, or it could drop further.
Is Bill the Cat a demo or repub?
He would lend some dignity to the election anyway.
“this time, why not the worst?”
“Ack phlbt” would be an appealing campaign slogan.
He was Meadow Party.
But the fact that he’s (Gavin Newsome) almost tied with last year’s Democratic presidential nominee underscores how much his profile has risen over the past year.
Or more likely how wretchedly low Kammy’s profile is.
This.
His star will rise even higher when Americans see how much good he has done for California. 🙄
Democrats still need to get out of the hole they dug over the last five years. They, as a party, are despised more than the Repubs by over ten points.
So, it doesn’t matter what the internal polling looks like, and as the economy starts to heat up, right in time for the midterms, they have another set of problems. And calling Vance weird doesn’t hold water.
I imagine you just summarized the contents of their internal evaluation that is now treated like it is top secret.
As if I needed further proof libraries are mostly catering to the homeless, IL passes a law requiring libraries to have Narcan available and at least one staff member who knows how to administer it. Hopefully, this task doesn’t also fall to the jizz mopper.
how much does a jizz mopper make an hour? Or is it a salaried position.
As of today in Ohio, at least $11.00 an hour. 🙄
…unless it’s customary to tip that person (I wouldn’t know,) in which case it’s $5.50.
McCook’s has been closed for a long time. No real place to do any research.

Also gone: The [so-called] Art Theatre/Cinemas on Wayne Avenue. Where do the kids go to see Rocky Horror Picture Show now?? 🙁
The Palace Theater on 5th used to show dirty movies, too.
Gender Traitor:
The Cedar Lee (shown in the Drew Carey Show)?
Tres Cool:
There’s a strip club there on the Brookpark strip that’s remodeling. I’m wondering if it’s going to come back as a hookah bar or stay a strip club.
Mr. Ilium – is that where they had the “What is Hip?” showdown between the Rocky Horror crowd and the Priscilla, Queen of the Desert (IIRC) crowd? (Fun, but not nearly as good as the “Five O’Clock World” number, the best one they ever did.)
Even with a 10 p.m. RHPS showtime instead of midnight, I don’t think Dayton kids could get back home before their curfew.
Library in my home town exists for this purpose and to pay a librarian and assistants high salaries. You have to have a masters to be a librarian.
Same on the latter for the library district I’m in plus pushing g rainbow ideology on the Rez.
It’s almost impossible to decertify a library district, supermajority of the board and it can be recreated by a simple majority of voters who wire out for the item on a ballot. It’s 100% graft.
Not that being a ginormous sanctimonious prick is illegal, least of all in DC…
That’s all of the politicians in DC, you asshole, not just some of the Republicans.
When there are no consequences for criminal activity, a lesson is learned.

“Last week US District Judge Roger Benitez issued a landmark ruling that confirmed what parents have been saying for years: School policies that hide a child’s gender-identity changes from families are unconstitutional.
Benitez’s decision in Mirabelli v. Olson, which overturns a law signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom in 2024, applies statewide and permanently blocks these secrecy rules.”

No one should forget they passed just a law in the first place.
Um, such a law.
“trans kids”
No. Stop that.
I didn’t. But the truth in California appears to be most voters either support it or don’t care.
“Major dating apps like Bumble and Tinder have embraced AI, spending millions on tools that aim to enhance their efficiency and the user experience.
But, one new company — the London-based Eva AI — is taking it a step further. They’re betting solely on artificial intelligence romantic partners — and think there’s a market for people who want to take their chatbot boyfriends and girlfriends out on the town.
In February, the company is launching a pop-up cafe in Manhattan that they hope to make a permanent fixture.
Tables will have special perches for people’s phones, so they can more easily interact with AI partners while sipping cocktails.”

” bill introduced in Florida takes aim at paper drinking straws and stirrers at food businesses and restaurants.
Senate Bill 958 was introduced Dec. 18 — with an identical House bill, HB 2195, introduced Dec. 26 — to limit what cities and counties can do to regulate drinking straws and stirrers.
“Many businesses and communities in this state are using paper drinking straws and stirrers as a purportedly better option for public health and the environment,” HB 2195 states.
“However, independent university studies have shown that most paper straws contain harmful PFAS chemicals, exposure to which is linked to concerning health risks.””
https://nypost.com/2026/01/01/health/florida-lawmakers-move-to-ban-paper-straws-from-restaurants-concerning-health-risks/
Straw Wars!
I am shocked that you have to put something on a paper straw to prevent it just soaking up the liquid and turning into a mushy lump. And furthermore, that you can’t use wax on a straw that is intended to be used in hot liquids.
Senate Bill 1742 works to improve rooftop safety for first responders, It requires that all existing buildings, new construction, new roofs, roof replacements and renovations that increase the size of a home or business must meet certain requirements, like the installation of a parapet, extended masonry, or guard for low-sloped roofs. It also creates requirements for skylights and other openings on a low-sloped roof. By Jan. 1, 2027, municipalities must complete a survey of buildings in their jurisdiction and share it with police and fire departments.
Inspired by Butler?
More like Big Roof.
It was a bad reference to this.
I got that, just was riffing on our usual.
Sounds like a ridiculous law.
Out of that batch I’m not sure it is the dumbest. What is the aquifer grift anyway?
All existing buildings? Every single building is going to have to have a multi-thousand dollar renovation? AYFKM?
How much will this increase the price of a new home, and how much will government and media ignore this when bitching about the lack of affordable housing?
Adding parapets to roofs to provide cover/concealment for shooters strikes me as such an assbackwards response to Butler that, yes, this is indeed the kind of response to Butler that I expect from Our Betters.
Is that a state thing or federal?
And no. Not going to comply.

“Under the 1998 Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act, creative works are copyrighted until 70 years after the author’s death, and works published between 1924 and 1978 are protected for 95 years. Therefore, anything originally published in 1930 enters the public domain today.”
https://reason.com/2026/01/01/betty-boop-enters-the-public-domain-but-only-as-a-dog/
That’s retarded.
The life of the author should be the outer limit. And everything claiming copyright protection must have a single human being as the primary author for this purpose.
No collaborative works? Many songs have more than one writer.
So co-authors are chopped liver? Why not the life of the last surviving co-author?
I could go with a limited number of co-authors, I suppose, as long as they are listed. I was thinking of corporations and the kind of co-author lists you get on scientific papers, where the guy who made the coffee one day gets listed if he blew the right administrator.
You’d also have to terminate rights for co-authors as they died, which would get messy.
Life of the author or fifty years after publication, which ever comes last. No death tax. And go back to requiring both registration and registration at a midpoint. If you don’t care enough, it goes to public domain.
It was a day much like any other.
Brooks, don’t know if you saw my late comment on your question about paint rounds for marauding dogs. Simunition makes paint (training) rounds for 9mm and 5.56, although I don’t know how available they are. They use them at Gunsite, so I don’t think they are limited to military and law enforcement.
And from what I gather, they hurt like hell if they hit outside your body armor (which is worn at Gunsite for those training exercises). So, bonus.
I have a fistful of them in 50 BMG.
Would not recommend shooting them at meat.
Why hast thou forsaken us, Barfman?
Incoming Mayor Zohran Mamdani will take his midnight oath of office on a centuries-old Quran, marking the first time a mayor of New York City uses Islam’s holy text to be sworn in and underscoring a series of historic firsts for the city.
When the 34-year-old Democrat becomes mayor in a long-closed subway station beneath City Hall, he’ll be the first Muslim, first South Asian and first African-born person to hold that position.
These milestones — as well as the historical Quran he will use for the ceremony — reflect the longstanding and vibrant Muslim residents of the nation’s most populous city, according to a scholar who helped Mamdani’s wife, Rama Duwaji, select one of the books.
Maybe he’ll be the first mayor to be tarred and feathered, too. A man can dream.
Vibrant NYC Muslims:

To be fair, there are probably more white female college students in that pic than vibrant Muslims.
Some cunte was singing “Imagine” in Times Square right before the ball dropped.
I hope New Yorkers get all of this good and hard, and then, when they finally speak up against such infiltratious bullshit, they learn how much it sucks to be ignored. They’ll likely learn nothing of this, other than they *might* need to vote for another idiot next time (who’ll also ignore them).
I expect they won’t even learn that, but rather just think Other People need to be taxed even more.

“The Trump administration is facing a new legal complaint from a group of government employees who are affected by a new policy going into effect Thursday that eliminates coverage for gender-affirming care in federal health insurance programs.
The complaint, filed Thursday on the employees’ behalf by the Human Rights Campaign, is in response to an August announcement from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) that it would no longer cover “chemical and surgical modification of an individual’s sex traits through medical interventions” in health insurance programs for federal employees and US Postal Service workers.”

“Senior Trump officials, such as the health and human services secretary, Robert F Kennedy Jr, call gender-affirming care “malpractice” for minors. But such restrictions go against recommendations from major medical groups such as the American Medical Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics.”
The AMA and AAP are political organizations that could care less about medicine.
They proved it during covid. They flaunted it with the trans stuff.
I’d say the Human Rights Canpaign can suck mine but the entire outfit would probably willingly line up to do it.
Well, here I am, back home. No worries, other than my throat, which is rather upset with me. It hurt to swallow yesterday, but today I have very little voice left. A bit of a wet cough when I dareth take one. So I told MGMT and when I ‘should’ have had lunch, I just gave them that hour on the aisles and clocked out at 10.
I would classify this as an illness. If so, it’s my first in IDK how long. Maybe a decade. (Seizures, injuries; gout and shingles don’t count.)
Well, 99.3 says Mr. Thermostat, which isn’t a fever. Well, I worked 5/8 of my shift. Hopefully my voice finds itself. (It’s always in the last place ya look!)
Yeah, you’ve got a bug. I would count shingles as an illness, too, since its cause by a virus.
Too late for you now, but during “flu season” I take a zinc, quercetin, vitamin C/D3 supplement (the brand is Spartis, although there are others) as an anti-viral immune booster. Maybe it’s just a tiger-repelling rock, but I haven’t caught a bug while taking it. When I didn’t get around to it last year, I caught a nasty respiratory virus over Thanksgiving.
I’m also taking that and have been bug-free – maybe tiger repelling rock, as you note, but who knows.
I think it was a Tundra rec?

“Shingles” is more like a shark attack than illness. I took some OTC meds and should be good in a bit. My voice went to Whisper Mode cuz that’s all I could get out. Rest, and I predict only a few more hours of discomfort.
About 30ft away from me, a shopper was afraid of me when I coughed, and he really did, kinda sorta ‘shouted’ “Sick!” and flailed his arm to direct me away from produce.
Me in the Coat of Many Colors? That’d be me struttin’ like this:

Thanks, RC. That was in response to Trshy’s story about the dogs attacking his chickens. It might make things clearer if you could ask the sheriff to go to the neighbor’s house and see if his dogs have bright green paint splotches on them.
Standard paintball gun balls sting like hell and leave whelps. Also, you can get a fully automatic paintball gun from Amazon. Which makes it so much more fun. Also you don’t have to hunt up special ammo.
Wouldn’t just a regular paintball gun work?
What kind of stupid fucking question is that?
Couldn’t remember who it was, but your handle stuck in my head.
A box of ammo might be cheaper than a full paintball rig, especially for occasional use.
If Trashy gets a fully automatic paintball gun, the world will become a Pollack canvas.

“A group of progressive politicians and advocates are reframing emissions-cutting measures as a form of economic populism as the Trump administration derides climate policy as a “scam” and fails to deliver on promises to tame energy costs and inflation.
Climate politics were once cast as a test of moral resolve, calling on Americans to accept higher costs to avert environmental catastrophe, but that ignores how rising temperatures themselves drive up costs for working people, said Stevie O’Hanlon, co-founder of the youth-led Sunrise Movement.
“People increasingly understand how climate and costs of living are tied together,” she said.
Utility bills and healthcare costs are climbing as extreme weather intensifies. Public transit systems essential to climate goals are reeling from federal funding cuts. Rents are rising as landlords pass along costs of inefficient buildings, higher insurance and disaster repairs, turning climate risk into a monthly surcharge. Meanwhile, wealth inequality is surging under an administration that took record donations from big oil.”
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jan/01/affordability-climate-utility-bills-rent
Because increasing the cost of energy makes things cost less?
“fails to deliver on promises to tame energy costs and inflation”
Inflation is down.
Gas and oil prices are down. Natural gas prices have been volatile, but basically flat on average over the year.
They just make shit up, don’t they?
Wow, the US sounds like a shithole.
Don’t waste your time coming here, migrants.
If it was getting warmer my costs would go down.

Warmer means wetter.

🎶 “one of these things is not like the other…” 🎶
So I’ve mentioned before that Dad has an oddly homoerotic thing going on. Legit, he *is* an Aspie, but it’s just fun (and worrisome) to watch. Last night at dinner, our waiter tripped The Signal for my father. He told me and Mom that our water was “exceptionally” attractive. I was worried Dad was gonna try and chat the dude up, cuz he tried to make a bet with us that the waiter should go to Hollywood, cuz his overpowering attractiveness would be sure to interest the acting/model beat.
The waiter was very slim, and most likely of the gay persuasion, given his whole entity and my solid Gaydar. This man looked like a thin and ‘much’ taller version of Peter Dinklage. This conversation and Dad’s attempts to hustle lasted a solid five minutes. Thank Everything he didn’t actually ask the ~25-30yo if he’d been approached before for such employment as I anticipated.
Dad had to clarify his opinion: He admitted the waiter had “No bench,” pointing out the water’s absolute lack of upper body strength. Dad said there was no excuse for such, with dismay and disdain. (Maybe not “dismay.” Maybe.) He was at the Evansville Courier (and Press) for 40yrs. He *will* chat up anyone if he thinks a story is there. So my worries weren’t out of sorts.

As New York City’s first lady, Rama Duwaji channels art-world chic.
The Syrian-American illustrator held two Qurans as Zohran Mamdani took the oath of office as New York City mayor after midnight on New Year’s Day, in a minimalist black coat, a knee-length black dress or skirt and black ankle boots, with a pair of gold, sculptural statement earrings.
Duwaji, 28, has continued to subvert expectations in her clothing choices as the incoming first lady, favoring understated, modern looks with creative-class sensibility. Online, she’s seen in similarly modernist looks, and as the 34-year-old democratic socialist made his victory speech in November, Duwaji was by his side wearing a dark denim square-neck top by Palestinian-Jordanian designer Zeid Hijazi and a Ulla Johnson black skirt, also with statement dangling earrings by New York City jewelry designer Eddie Borgo.

The worst imagineable precedent
A federal district court judge ruled Tuesday that the Trump administration must continue to seek funding for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, or CFPB, a watchdog agency the administration has been trying to dismantle through staffing and funding cuts.
The administration recently made a legal argument that because the agency gets its funding from the Federal Reserve, and since the Fed is technically operating at a loss, there are no valid funds for the CFPB.
Judge Amy Berman Jackson rejected the argument, writing that this “would be tantamount to closing what is left of the Bureau.” This upholds an earlier injunction from Jackson to ensure the agency would continue to exist as congressionally mandated, and to stop efforts to shutter the CFPB, including through layoffs.
Separately, last week a coalition of 21 states and the District of Columbia joined together for a lawsuit to prevent the defunding of the agency. They argue that the administration is too narrowly interpreting which Fed funds can be used to support the agency — that they don’t have to be profits.
Shutting down a government agency because we don’t have the money? Where will it end?
