The college conference tournaments are getting pretty wild. Poor Miami (OH) finally lost a game, but I think they’ll rob a bubble spot, hopefully from Auburn. Of course Duke won even though they shouldn’t have. Ohop State will take on TTUN after beating Iowa. And a bunch of other quality matchups are on tap today. That’s about all I’ve got until I get a chance to watch the Chinese GP practice and sprint qualifying. I assume it’ll just be Mercedes running away with it again. And that’s it for sports.
And why, exactly, was this asshole not still in prison or stripped of his citizenship and deported once he was released? Fucking shameful. Glad the students stabbed and beat him to death, at least. But people inside of our government have some answers to give about this fucking guy.
With all the craziness at home and the Iran stuff, this is slipping under the radar. And they’re making a rare public announcement this morning and nobody knows what it’s about.
I wish they could start getting rid of the sand. Because this sounds absolutely amazing.
Why not just shovel it into a furnace? I’m talking about the money, btw. However…no, never mind. I’m talking about the money.
I assume this is a lot of homes. Which is why I’m surprised to just be hearing about it now.
I’m really confused what’s happening here. An offer was made, the offer was rejected, isn’t that it?
A fucked up law that violates rights is being exploited? Well knock me over with a feather.
Would these people rather the dogs have died? Apparently so, because politics has taken over the mind of a lot of retarded people.
A hate crime? That might be a bit over the top, even if all the accusations in the story are true.
I wish this stupid, crazy woman would just go away. Or the judge over her fraud cases would just stop letting her get away with “mental health and exhaustion” excuses that have held up her sworn testimony.
Here’s we go. Such an underplayed part of their catalog. As is this one. Just lovely. Enjoy them both.
And enjoy this lovely Friday and weekend as we get into spring break.
“And why, exactly, was this asshole not still in prison or stripped of his citizenship and deported once he was released?”
Equity justice?
I really don’t know. Apparently he was given early release into some program used for people who have drug addictions.
But if you’re gonna let him out early, why not just strip him of his citizenship and send him on a plane to some shithole aligned with his politics?
The left has decided that the true victims are the criminals, and that the victims of criminals are entitled well off people. so they are hard at work reshaping society to serve the will & cause of the criminals (after all, practically every democrat pol out there is a criminal). That is why they hate what this guy says..
That is almost certainly exactly why.
… useless, obviously.
I wonder if the “supervisor” will even take the tiniest hit on his/her annual eval.
“The ancient city, known as Alexandria on the Tigris, is located in southern Iraq, near the Persian Gulf.”
So not as bad as Los Angeles?
Nothing is as bad as Los Angeles although NYC is running hard to get there..
I was just thinking the other day: is there much music celebrating NYC written after the invention of television? I can think of at least a few musical celebrations of LA. (“Under the Bridge” was on the corporate radio playlist during my Houston-Saratoga Springs drive)
New York, New York was written for the 1977 movie. (Originally sung by Liza Minnelli, not Frank Sinatra.)
There’s also this ditty.
Also this.
Alol.
And a lot of the Billy Joel œuvre is New York-centric.
Is he? I got the impression that his stuff is near-but-not-NYC like Bruce Springsteen and Bon Jovi.
“Uptown Girl” probably refers to NYC, but where is the bar in “Piano Man?” Obviously “Allentown” isn’t about NYC.
He’s a Long Island guy but there’s a lot of NYC stuff, AFAIK.
e.g., Moving Out
Sergeant O’Leary is walkin’ the beat
At night, he becomes a bartender
He works at Mr. Cacciatore’s down on Sullivan Street
Across from the medical center
Piano Man is about a bar in LA; damned if I can find the name.
He walked through Bedford-Stuy alone in “You May Be Right”.
There’s also the line about Channel 13 in “Pressure”.
And of course “New York State of Mind” is clearly about New York.
Empire State of Mind.
Fairytale of New York should probably count.
A Heart in New York – this was a fixture of youth road trips with my parents.
I think for the first ten or twelve years of my life, my parents had exactly three cassette tapes: Simon and Garfunkel’s The Concert in Central Park, Alan Parson Project Eye in the Sky, and the Highwaymen album.
And this.
Wut?
Not only is it not a celebration of NYC, it’s not even about NYC. It’s about a couple having a fight that happens to be set in NYC, but the setting is irrelevant and could have been anywhere.
You’re being too particular. By that standard, Under the Bridge is about Anthony Kiedis OD’ing under a bridge that happens to be in LA, but could have been anywhere (with bridges.)
Video is very NYC, plus Matt Dillon as the cop.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9jbdgZidu8
I have a soft spot for that tune, just because I discovered it on AudioGalaxy my junior year of college, a solid decade before the fucking hipsters discovered and ruined it.
No, because that song specifically calls out how great a particular city is, it loves him, it’s his only friend etc. The attitude of the singer to the city is a core part of the song. “Fairytale of New York”‘s core is the two singers, their regrets, their relationship. Sure the fight come to a head but I think anyone would assume it’s the stress of the holidays and not because the city they’re fighting in is awesome.
And for those not in adulthood in the 70’s there was this one a few years back.

What about The Lovin’ Spoonful’s “Summer In The City?”
Also, about half the songs the Beastie Boys wrote were celebrations of NY.

So the migrant hotels are turning into bum hotels. I never saw that coming.

“But even with the ebbing influx of migrants, the city is still grappling to shelter more than 100,000 people a night — the highest level since the Great Depression of the 1930s, according to the advocacy group Homes for the Homeless….
“The City’s use of hotels to serve as emergency shelters is obviously far from ideal. But given that the City has both a legal and moral obligation to provide shelter to all in need of such, they must make sure that they have enough beds,” said David Giffen, executive director of the Coalition for the Homeless.”
I’m seeing the problem here.

“That might be a bit over the top, even if all the accusations in the story are true.”
If something happens to a black person it is because they are black. Cue riots.
That is victim blaming! It’s not because they are black, it’s because white people are inherently and inevitably racist!
The media will lie, distort, and omit as needed to keep ramping up racial animus in the US. The Narrative requires it.
Therefore, I don’t believe the story as presented.
A hate crime? That might be a bit over the top, even if all the accusations in the story are true.

According to the Supreme Court, that land can be seized by the state and given to the data center company, which will undoubtedly pay more taxes than the farmers. Because generating revenue for the state is the fundamental purpose of, well, everything, right?

Ya and I think this story is important because these companies are probably putting high pressure on the land owners so this is one way to combat against them.

Last week, a couple people from King Walz’s administration skipped a Fraud Committee meeting because they were too busy. As the Fraud Committee was decamping to let a different committee use the room, the two “busy” people showed up to testify. Fraud Committee chairwoman not happy.
King Walz not worried.
Typical journalo. Doesn’t ask King Walz why the legislature didn’t do this 5 years ago. Especially since the DFL controlled both houses during that time.
King Walz’s plan to “fix” fraud is to strip counties of their Medicaid responsibilities and centralize it to the state gov.
The MCO’s were set up for a reason. This is gonna be a shit show, most likely the state just paying hospitals whatever they want.
It’s going to be MORE of a shitshow than it already is.
there is no fraud. move on.
Walz must have taken down all the mirrors from the mansion.
I’m not sure how he can look at himself in the morning.
Although he quickly got over not going with his troops to the Middle East.
Anyone with any amount of self respect would have resigned over the Somali affair. OTOH how else could Walz make that kind of paycheck?
I doubt he has the concept of shame, nor thinks he did anything wrong.
^This. It’s part of the mental illness of the left. A complete lack of self-awareness and shame.
Sadly, I don’t think Walz made a dime off of the Somali fraud.
Walz’s payoff was them voting for him and making him governor. He gets off on the public “adulation” of being governor. Look how he acted when he was running for VP. He was creaming his pants (while shaking his jazz hands) when the big crowds were clapping for him.
RJ:
The Clintons were the pioneers in shamelessness. It was their superpower.
There wasn’t any law that said they had to leave office when they got caught in their scandals, so they just gutted it out. Everyone watching was impressed and learned from it.
It is similar to Trump teaching everyone not to ever apologize. Don’t listen to the political consultants. Stick to your guns and the “controversy” will go away.
I get my Walz news from Sugarfree. Waltz doesn’t just feel shame, he loves it more than life itself.
“Food influencer Ben Wood has died aged 43 after attempting to rescue a young woman from drowning….
Around 7pm, a 26-year-old woman was swept out into the ocean, which sparked a series of attempted rescues, according to local outlets.
The woman’s partner, Wood, Wood’s wife Maria Jose Duarte Ureta, 47, and Wood’s father Norman Ray Wood, 77, rushed into the water in an attempt to save her but all four were also quickly swept out by large waves.”

Uffda. This tariff stuff is quite the pickle.
Hormel wants its money back. With interest!
I’m open to the idea that tariffs collected illegally should be returned. However, my sympathy for Hormel is tempered by the fact that Hormel passed those increased costs on to their customers.
Shouldn’t the people who paid more for a can of Spam get the refund? I doubt that Hormel has any plans to pass along the remitted tariff money to their customers.
Also, what if Trump’s other efforts to legally justify those tariffs succeed? Will Hormel be OK with sending back the tariff money? (and interest)?
people pay for Spam?
When I visited Hawaii, one of the gas station snacks was a cut of spam on rice, served like a big sushi.

Spam is disgusting and wrong.
My wife, being from Okinawa loves it because that’s what she grew up with.
give her some slightly poisoned spam and she will get violently ill and associate that with spam and never eat it again. It is what a loving husband would do.
That’s diabolical Pie, I love it.
It doesn’t bother me that she eats it and she doesn’t try to feed it to me anymore.
In the early days of our marriage, she would try to sneak it into curry or something, but quit once she realized I could taste it in there.
Tell me, why is Spam subject to tariffs? Everything you need to make it is in the US.
The people who offshored any part of production should pay the customers the tariff costs out of their own pockets.
Okay, so it wasn’t tariffs on spam, but other crap.
Spam spam spam spam….
I thought Urthona was quite the pickle.
FedEx is doing it too they are double dipping.
They are paying your tarrifsnupfront with a $15 fee.

My guess is most people tell them to do pound sand. Fees is trying to get the feds to pay all of those bills.

Maybe I’ll revisit that.

Q for people living in non-English speaking areas:
OMB called some unnamed Iranians “scumbags.” Did that get translated as the local “generic guy I dislike” or did it reference the deprecated meaning of “condom” or something else entirely?

HOLY SHIT I DID NOT SEE IT
Here’s a question on a strange legal case in Romania.
A local doctor ran a red light and hit two people. The people did not die, but were gravely injured. They got to the hospital in serious condition. One of them got a hospital-acquired infection and combined with the accident injuries, died. The prosecution charged the doctor with wrongful death. His lawyer says he did not kill her, the hospital infection killed her and that is not the drivers fault and it should be just bodily harm, not involuntary manslaughter.
So should the driver running the red light be held accountable for the subsequent death due to hospital-acquired infection ?
The victim would not have been in that situation but for the actions of the driver running the red light.
I know you don’t fall under common law, but the general principle is that if the death would not have happened had your actions not have happened, you are liable for at least manslaughter. It’s no different than if the victim bled out in the hospital. The driver put the person in that situation.
IANAL but ISTR a concept of “intervening action” or some such thing. I guess it would depend on if they consider the hospital infection something that just was downstream of admission or something that the hospital actively caused.
I would say it would depend on whether the hospital was particularly negligent on hygene and cross-contamination prevention measures.
It would need to be superseding not just intervening and you have stated the gist of the difference
In Penna.. where I was on a jury once, the answer would be: “Who has the deepest pockets?”
Maybe wrongful death civil suit?
Juris would probably know.
Yeah, except the Soros DA is going to give them the Daniel Penny treatment.
