My email is suddenly unreadable. I was CC to a contractor’s correspondence with one of my direct reports. I am now on email 12 of 30, sent via secure means from some hospital in Wisconsin because we had to move to the full file review after they failed the probe sample…
Things are looking up.
¡Enlaces!
El Presidenté Mujer found herself in something of a scandal with Cuban made drugs. I’m not talking about cocaine or heroin, regular drugs.
Cuba releases 2000 from their prisons amid pressure from the US.
Yeah, I’ll let someone else beta test that.
Brazil allows joint custody of pets. Frankly I like this move, because I’m tired of the expectation the ex-girlfriend always getting the dog.
The big news this week? Chile formally recognizes Argentina’s claim to the Malvinas. What is that you ask? You might better know them as the Falkland Islands.
Here’s a Thatcher Era tune, have a great Tuesday!
Is that why the Boomers in border states are able to go to Mexico once a month and buy medications at half price?
No, they do that because you get free tacos with a purchase of 12 vials of insulin.
But are they in keto taco shells?
Pffft, no.
The Falklands voted to remain British because the alternative was ti be taken over by Argentine commies. Now they are run by British commies. How times change.
Argentina might be more attractive these days – whodathunkit?
Live footage.
Heh.
I was thinking about an episode of Big Bang Theory but that was way better.
First, the Glibs logs me out every night, and now YouTube wants me to sign in.
Clearly this is the work of the devil.
Once I get out…,they bring me right back in.
Was hoping for that classic scene from Evil Dead II: Dead Before Dawn.
Dr. Strangelove had one of those prosthetic arms.
I read it was all criminals, no political prisoners. Who knows?
Mariel Boatlift 2: Electric Boogaloo?
Cuba doesn’t have electricity.
Mariel Boatlift 2:
ElectricBanana Boogaloo?Is that better?
Camel’s nose under the tent for the animal rights loons. Legally speaking, animals should be property. You divide property in a divorce or other dispute, you don’t set up revolving custodians for it.
Cut them in half, Solomon – style.
RJ is wise, as he is kind.
It is ridiculous. Shuttling back and forth from one to the other can’t be any better for animals than it is for children.
Which Falkland islands you talking about?
The GIF is always a jump scare when I open Glibs in class.
Excellent
Are we about to get another round of (post) punk outfits blathering about the Falklands?
I could see Fontaines D.C. taking a crack at it.
On the topic of music, every man, woman, and child in this community should jump on the Angine de Poitrine bandwagon. 2nd album just dropped on the 3rd and they apparently went viral a few months ago for a KEXP clinic they put on.
I’ve seen their photos pop up on FB. No idea why I should give a damn about them.
Prog/Math dorks rise up! You have nothing to lose but your cringe!
Cue up Don McMillan . . .
I am a geek, not a dork.
I will have a listen. I see they are Canadian. Is YouTube gonna send me a tariff bill?
Their live performances are impressive since it’s just two dudes, and the guitarist/bassist uses loop pedals to alternate between some pretty amazing basslines and microtonal guitar. And I guess they found a shtick by dressing up like clowns (as if there’s never been a French mime before). I just like the sounds they make for my ear holes. It’s like if The Bulletproof Tiger got sober, went to art school, and threw on a microtonal fretboard.
I know none of these things, because I am old. I marked them for listening.
I don’t not like it. It is interesting music. I don’t care for the papier mache/dress up stuff.
Thanks for broadening my earholes.
Rick Beato had some nice things to say about the band.
Comments are amusing.
The revenge of Bucket Head.
Trump does love his jets.

Well to be fair, according to a lot of federal judges, Trump can’t stop spending money unless congress explicitly gives him permission to do so.
Suck it, Vini.
The world’s biggest pussy – he has all of Mpabbe’s talent and none of the brains or heart.
I can’t stand either of them so I guess they have something else in common.
Has Mad King Donald neutron-bombed the middle east yet?
i’ve got my fingers crossed.
In Too Local News, California Man loses immigration case. Entered US illegally in 1996, got caught and was deported. Came again in 1997, didn’t get caught. Convicted of a DUI in 2002. Ordered to be deported in 2014, but never left, because deportation orders are voluntary apparently. Finally got deported in 2025. But people will probably still complain he didn’t get his due process. https://www.eastbaytimes.com/2026/04/06/deported-livermore-man-ruling/
It’s hard to get one’s head around the fact that at least 3 people felt passionately enough about keeping that guy and others like him in the United States that they dipped out from their job to go confront immigration enforcement agents in the streets and made enough stupid decisions thereafter to end up shot dead.
Three? Did I miss one?
Ahh, the third one I was thinking of didn’t result in a death, apparently.
All that to try and stay in Livermore?
Dude…
Hey now.
“Livermore father”
🙄
By protection mean…
The Education Department said Monday it has terminated agreements with five school districts and a college aimed at upholding protections for transgender students, backing away from requirements negotiated by previous administrations that took a different interpretation of civil rights.
The decision removes the federal obligations for the schools to keep up measures such as faculty training on abiding by a students’ preferred name and pronouns and allowing students to use bathrooms that align with their gender identity.
We need as many artificially fabricated subsets of the population as possible. For unity.
Bonus points for encouraging more gender confusion. Your nearest psychiatrist thanks you for your business.
We need as many artificially fabricated subsets of the population as possible. For unity.
Except for white men; there will be no subdividing the general evil of that class.
Who knew we’d one day yearn for the simplicity of the Marxian bourgeoisie/proletariat dichotomy.
If you divide it, it might multiply!
Since the day he returned to the White House more than a year ago, Trump and his administration have aimed at the rights of transgender people in several ways — and not just in schools.
He has tried to end participation of transgender women and girls in women’s and girls’ sports competitions and has sued states that don’t comply. He’s also blocked transgender and nonbinary people from choosing the sex markers on passports. His administration has also tried to stop those under 19 from receiving gender-affirming medical care.
He is uniquely, grotesquely evil.
So is the 80% of the American public who are not in favor of chicks with dicks beating up bio-girls.
I hear Megan Rapinoe is making noises about pay equality – so I think the women should be paid the same as the men they can beat, which would be 13 year old amateur boys I think. I know they couldn’t beat the 15 year olds.
I don’t know why some people have a hard time understanding that sports divisions are for biological sex and not gender. It’s like sex and gender are different when it’s convenient and they are the same when it’s convenient.
None of it is in good faith. It’s about rubbing the nose of the loser in it and making them go along with. Gay rights activism: the next generation.
TOO LOCAL NEWS: NH State Senate drama continues!
McGough also prides himself on speaking truth to power. On Monday’s WFEA “Jeff Chidester Show,” he blamed his State House troubles on the fact that “I try to be a senator who values the truth and speaking up. And I have the courage and dedication to do it when nobody else will.”
But when NHJournal contacted him about being sued for failure to pay his bills, McGough wasn’t interested in talking.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” McGough told NHJournal Monday evening when asked about the collections lawsuits.
When a reporter reminded him that he’s representing himself in the two cases, McGough reversed course, saying he could not discuss any pending litigation.
McGough also didn’t want to talk about his time working as an EMT in Massachusetts. That’s perhaps unsurprising given that his EMT license was revoked after he reportedly ditched a trauma patient so that he could clock out of his shift, according to Massachusetts state records.
10:58 on a Friday and some trauma patient always has to come in with a bunch of their friends when we’re trying to close up…
More TOO LOCAL NEWS: Crazy bills and discussion of income tax at roundtable
Host AFP Deputy State Director Sarah Scott began the event by asking participants to name the craziest bill they’ve seen during the current session.
“My favorite bill was an act relative to the prohibition of games in which the goal of the contest is to capture a greased pig — God forbid!” said Rep. Ross Berry (R-Weare).
“I thought this was America,” Berry joked.
Rep. Joe Alexander (R-Goffstown) nominated a bill by left-wing Democratic Rep. Wendy Thomas (D-Merrimack) that would have prohibited the sale of condoms and personal lubricants containing intentionally added PFAS compounds.
“I don’t think anybody wearing a condom is really concerned about PFAS content,” Alexander said. “But apparently Rep. Thomas is.”
That’s how you get forever sperm!
I know kids today aren’t growing up all that fast but forever sperm is taking arrested development too far!
One thing about mowing- at least I can’t hear the neighbors’ goddam barking dogs.
I don’t know why some people have a hard time understanding that sports divisions are for biological sex and not gender.
I’d really like to ask one of them whether weight classes in sports like boxing and weightlifting are inherently unfair.
So now that there’s a 2 week cease fire in Iran I suppose the script will switch from “War Crimes!” to “TACO Trump”.
The issue is never the issue. The issue is always OMB. It is pointless to argue with them.
