Its come to my attention nobody asked for my opinion on the war. I find that odd, given I was hosted by the Shah on a number of occasions in the early 70’s. He wasn’t into foot play, but he was totally into foot play. I got pretty good balancing that soccer ball after a few tries. I even managed to keep it off the polished floor for several minutes while he clapped like the fucking weirdo he is watching me juggle it with my feet.
Yes I said is.
Anyways, I look at this whole thing like those guys in Texass shooting those wild pigs from helicopters. Is it cruel? Yes. Am I really condoning it? Not really. Am I going to piss and moan about those pigs being killed in such a cruel way? Hell no! The cruelty is probably necessary.
Anyways…They’re doing scary headlines with the draft again,

PAUL KRUGMAN: It’s not really ambiguous. I mean, there’s a large spike in the amount of transactions just 15 minutes before the president announces that he’s not going to bomb Iranian power plants after all. There’s also a spike in the opposite direction on stock futures at the same time. And these are not little random events. It’s $580 million worth of transactions in the crude oil market. It’s probably bigger than that. In the stock futures market, there’s, like, a minute when all of a sudden this happens.
MARTÍNEZ: Is there evidence, though, that proves that this is all linked to the Trump administration?
KRUGMAN: No. I mean, there wouldn’t be. I mean, if we had a comprehensive investigation by the FBI or something like that, but what other explanation could there be? There was nothing else going on that would justify large transactions at that specific moment. We don’t know that it was somebody linked to the Trump administration, though it would be pretty weird that someone else would have suddenly decided to make these big bets on the future. It really strains credulity to suggest that this wasn’t somebody with inside information.
Its almost like Trump announced ahead of time something was going to happen on a particular day and time, and Wall St hedged their bets around the time that thing was scheduled to happen. That’s really weird isn’t it?

The South is not just a manufacturing powerhouse—it’s rapidly emerging as a major financial service center. Think “Y’all Street” rather than Wall Street. Cities like Charlotte, Dallas, Miami, and even Nashville have become financial hubs in ways that once seemed unimaginable.
Not all that shocking. Old people retire to the South, and take their money with them. Add in the hordes fleeing high taxes, crime, and whatnot in the Northeast and Midwest, and well… somebody has to take care of their finances. Mamdani and his friends is just icing on the cake.

Magic soil. If people are fungible then obviously there is some aspect of the land that makes some places successful and others not, so if you move a bunch of people to the successful places they will become successful as well.
Yeah, I’ve been reading variations on this theme my entire life. I guess the addition of California is a recent twist but the south (and west) “have been rising” at the expense of the NE and the midwest for decades.
CA WA and OR are coming to Idaho where only 33% of the land is deeded and have tripled our property prices.
I don’t think they are fleeing the Midwest, just my state of Illinois…and the Left Coast – CA, WA and OR (hence the “exit tax” proposals).
The three left coast states are hurting for cash. Bad hurting.
Part of the reason NYS kept the covid panic going was because they were playing for time to get Biden elected to include state bailouts in covid “relief”.
The Covid Cash is running out. I’ve read so many doom stories about the collapse of civilization because governments planned on permanent helicopter supply runs.
Governments baked the Covid cash into their budgets.

“Tell ya what… we’ll include them in the cease-fire as soon as we’ve utterly eliminated their willingness and ability to shoot at us.” — Bibi, probably
Did Bibi appear in person, or is this like the gay ayatollah’s pronouncements?
Trump will flip out on his closest allies like MTG for the slightest criticism, but when Netenyahu openly defies him and ruins a peace deal – not a peep.
Lol. MTG is a great ally. Only Troo Convservatives find comfort in the loving arms of International ANSWER!
NPR is pushing how wonderful TuCa, Meghan Kelly and Candace Owens are now.
MTG was publicly fighting for Trump during his court cases, when the most Republicans were hoping he was gone for good.
https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/national-international/marjorie-taylor-greene-headlines-trump-support-rally-mayors-crowd-message-control-yourselves/4204797/
“TuCa”
He’s two waspy for such a nickname.
Yes, MTG did good things “for” Trump, just like a whore will do good things for her client. But her “alliance” was based on advancing her career not any kind of personal or ideological sympathy.
Surely you recognize this with any number of other congresscritters (like George Santos) so I don’t know why you don’t see it with MTG (or Lauren Bobert or…)
Because that doesn’t confirm his biases.
“TuCa”
Yeah, I didn’t get that at first glance.
This, FFS.
Circle those wagons.
JOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSS!!!!!!
Related to nicknames, I occasionally start to abbreviate Candace Owens as “Candi-O” but then the song starts playing in my head and I really enjoy it too much to associate it with her.
She is registered on the Crazy/Hot matrix, so…
“Under federal law, most males between 18 and 25 years old are already required to register with the Selective Service System in case a military draft is authorized.
Men are expected to self-register within 30 days of their 18th birthdays, but the agency accepts late registrations until age 26.”
So what’s the point?
Will anyone sue because women aren’t required to sign up?
The draft might do more for the trans movement than anything else.
Of course someone will sue. But to sue now is premature since the issue is “premature” and won’t fuck with the military in a time of crises or war. The group(s) will wait until the draft is invoked and then get a (D) Federal judge (hello Hawaii) to impose a universal injunction. Even if the issue is fast tracked it will take months to get to the Nazgul and a decision announced. During that entire time the wartime expansion of the military will be delayed. So a process that will take up to a year plus to execute is delayed even farther into the future.
Once at the Supremes it will be interesting since in 1981 registration case the Nazgul found registration was discriminatory but constitutional since it aided in raising combat military forces under Article I. Women weren’t in combat forces, so they didn’t need to register. NOW women are in combat forces so one would think that reasoning is no longer valid. But there are a bunch of people who think it is fine for their sons to be drafted and killed and not their daughters. And there are a bunch of sons who are going “WTF” to that idea. The entire trannie question is tossed in as a delicate seasoning as well.
I know cowboys in TX who have dogs they use for feral hog hunting. The dogs have Kevlar vests, BTW. The dogs will corner a hog and hold it down, while the cowboys finish it with knives. They use knives because gunshots would spook the rest of the . . . herd? I’ve been invited to go on these hunts. I passed, on account of I’m not man enough to walk up to a feral hog* and stick it with a knife until it stops struggling.
*feral hogs are scary as hell – fast, tough, smart, and mean
are they eaten?
Yes, but only up to a certain size. That 125lb sow is really good. The 350lb boar, not so much.
Both need killin’.
There’s a reason boar spears have lugs to prevent the hogs from pushing their skewered bodies up the shaft and mauling the hunter.
Have the cowboys thought about using spears? They were made for this work.
Last Glib Zoom I got drunk and bought one of those. Huge thing.
The meat is often sold. They also trap feral hogs, which takes a large steel enclosure. Regular feral hogs are scary enough. One that has been penned in a trap for a day is basically insane with rage. They snap their jaws with a popping noise that carries a good distance.
Why not spears? Dunno, never asked. The answer would probably be something like “I don’t have a spear, but I have knives that work just fine.”
There are canned hunts that involve a trapped hog and a spear. The hog is released when the “hunter” is ready and they have a second. When I worked for the swordsmith, some customers would take their weapons on one of these outings. I’m NOT claiming that it isn’t dangerous or a test of courage, just that it’s not really a hunt.
The swords were then tested for strength in a barrel stabbing test, and finally for sharpness in a rope slicing test.
And, in the end, a ritual frotting contest?
When you’re trying to get guys to drop mid-4 figures to start on a pointy piece of metal, you feed their egos/psychological needs as necessary.
The dogs have Kevlar vests, BTW.
For good reason. One mean-ass boar will turn an entire pack into backhoe fodder inside of thirty seconds.
I take my feral hogs at a distance, with a .45-70 — but I’m trying to eliminate the whole sounder, since I’m not doing pest control.
I’m *not* trying to eliminate the whole sounder. Damn proofreaders laying down on the job.
We have a few crazies in the swampier parts of the state who will trap wild hogs. They then get them out of the trap one by one, castrate the males, feed them corn for a week or two to get rid of some of the gaminess in the meat, and slaughter and sell them.
Florida restaurants will pay top dollar for “exotic” wild boar.
Sonder, IIRC.
I read that as “feral dog hunting”.
Ben plenty of that too Rhy.
There is a reason dangerous game cartidges were invented.

“Widow of Long Island man killed in freak MRI accident while wearing 20-pound chain files lawsuit”

STIJLTH
“Freak accident” Give the widow her husband’s Darwin award and send her on her way.
“That was not the first time that guy has seen that chain” on her husband, she told News 12 Long Island through tears in July. “They had a conversation about it before.”
So he knew from previous occasions to remove it but didn’t know this time?
He couldn’t leave the chain at home?
I don’t know why it took an hour to get him off the machine. Those things have kill switches. It’s possible he hit it so hard that he broke it (well, he certainly broke the machine, but maybe he took out the kill switch). He shouldn’t have been in the room at all, though.
He told everyone it was real gold!
20 pounds of gold would be worth about $1.5MM.

Death penalty for that haircut?
Where are they now features Moe.
Confessing to multiple murders (with ample corroborating evidence) should get you a trip to the guillotine within a few days.
My take on the death penalty isn’t to get rid of it entirely but only use it in the most obvious of cases. For conviction we use “beyond a reasonable doubt.” I think to kill someone the jury should use “beyond a shadow of a doubt”
In my alternate reality, there would be no state-implemented death penalty, but individuals who decided to implement one would have the option of a “needed killing” defense at their trial.
Yep.
Juries are stupid. They expect video dna and they still won’t go for execution.
Reasonable doubt is not what they think it is.

“These are the people who gave us algebra, medicine, and the theme song to Game of Thrones. Despite harsh government crackdowns and censorship today, Iran still produces some of the world’s greatest filmmakers. America has been meddling with and attacking Iran since 1953.””

Joe Rogan called Donald Trump’s military actions in Iran a distraction from the release of the Epstein files.
The podcast host, who has been critical of the war, was speaking to Arsenio Hall who claimed ‘misdirection’ efforts by US leaders were ‘the story of American politics.’
Rogan agreed, citing Bill Clinton’s ‘bombing some other countries’ during the Monica Lewinsky scandal and then said that Trump was doing something similar.
‘Look, the Epstein Files comes out – we go to war with Iran. It’s a good way to get people to stop talking about certain things,’ Rogan said.”

I don’t think Trump cares one way or the other about the Epstein files.
Yikes! Edit fairy?
Don’t start actually believing your own memes!
Funny, I have long thought the “Epstein Files” were a distraction from anything useful the government might have been doing otherwise, such as fulfilling campaign promises.
This.
There are a couple of layers.
I don’t think he cares about the files potentially implicating him in any wrongdoing. Despite the idiots on the left proclaims PEDO!, it’s already been established that he hated Epstein, and the feeling was mostly mutual. Clinton invites Epstein to the WH on several occasions, while Trump booted him out of MAL because of how he treated one of Trump’s female employees.
But I could buy the idea that there are likely friends and/or allies that may be implicated, and that he might not want that to happen.
It might be friends/allies, but it could just be that a general “who’s who” of tech, finance, and science were at the island, and if they were all implicated, it would be a big setback for almost every industry. I don’t consider that a good reason, but it is a reason nonetheless.
That’s a definite possibility.
I know that when I look at the people who seem to be providing the funding for Gallrein’s campaign I don’t really think “That group is a general who’s who of modern industry”.
Trump’s mistake was campaigning on it and then not delivering.
Today’s sad news. Patum Peperium, aka Gentleman’s Relish, “the anchovy spread”, discontinued
https://x.com/JulietBlaxland/status/2042156669434523852
My dad ate that and also just put anchovies on peanut butter and made sandwiches. I never got the appeal.
Sounds like he needed salt.
I enjoy the stuff, but I’m well aware that I’m part of a very small niche.
I thought “gentlemans relish” was something else.

Alas, yes.

This is an old story, and hasn’t been updated for advancements in spy lizards.
The former chief-of-staff of Iran’s armed forces said Tuesday that Western spies had used lizards which could “attract atomic waves” to spy on the country’s nuclear programme.
My friend from the Herpetology department actually noodled this over with me (bourbon was involved), and the program is still mostly classified, but from what I grokked the main problem was that the chameleons would panic under pressure and try to scurry away from any perceived danger. Since they were small and out of their native habitat, they were easy pickings.
“Stood out like a saur thumb,” my buddy explained.
Then my friend has his Eureka! moment. He genetically modified the lizards to remove their adrenal glands. Now the wee beasts would simply plod along the mountain passes, invisible to the naked eye, gathering information as they continued their meanderings.
As my buddy told me, “All we needed was a calmer chameleon. They come and go.”
Boy George, is that a story to tell at the bar!
It’s quite something to watch a craftsman at work.
Missing to be clever?
They sent Newsom to Iran to spy on their nuke program?
I am not going to make the effort to find out, but I wonder how many articles bewailing overfishing Grauniad has run over the years?

“I droppeth mine sword into yonder body of water, it is no longer in my possession…”
“Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government.”
The cruelty is probably necessary.
I think this is a generational thing. People my age grew up watching the Islamic revolution, hijackings, hostages, bombings, wars, missile attacks, Salmon Rushdie, oppression, executions, terrorism, all centered around Iran. We’re not crying any tears for those assholes, it’s just a matter of how this is going to affect us long term.
Agreed. They made themselves the boogeyman for most of my life. I also shed no tears. I just wish we had started before Iran massacred all those protesters.

Aging people die.
I don’t know; 2022, JPL all in on demanding medical experimentation on its employees, no cause of death or autopsy. I know where my suspicion lies.
As to the ‘cluster’; JFC, someone worked in aerospace/physics. There must all be related! It’s too coincidental! Just pattern recognition/imposition until you do some statistical analysis.

I think we need to update the “Everyone I don’t like is Hitler” book meme to “Every policy I don’t like is Genocide”.
But they go hand in hand, no?
I’m old enough to remember when more than 3 letters was considered insane.
Some of us still hold that belief.
I decoded that base64 string but it was gibberish.

Doctor accused of trying to kill wife on hike found guilty of attempted manslaughter

How can you attempt manslaughter?
“California’s Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday held a hearing regarding Senate Bill 934, a bill introduced by Senator Scott Wiener that expands the statute of limitations for people to sue for malpractice over “conversion therapy.”
The bill, introduced in January, would extend the statute of limitations to 22 years after a minor turns 18 and 10 years for adults. The hearing comes after the Supreme Court sided with a Colorado counselor in her case, ruling that the state’s ban on conversion therapy for minors conflicted with the First Amendment. California passed a similar law in 2012.
Wiener defended his bill in the hearing in the wake of the Supreme Court decision, saying that California’s ban on conversion therapy could not be in “legal jeopardy” over the Colorado ruling. He said that the justices’ ruling was “essentially saying that psychological torture of children is somehow free speech.””

Strike a blow for justice
A disturbing social media video posted by someone believed to be the Ontario warehouse fire suspect shows a person holding a lighter and igniting pallets of toilet paper in the warehouse, saying, “Should have paid us more,” as flames erupted.
Highland resident Chamel Abdulkarim was arrested by police on multiple felony arson-related charges for the massive fire that destroyed the 1.2 million square foot building on Tuesday.
The Facebook video post shows the start of the fire, with flames melting through the plastic wrapping of Scott toilet paper cases.
That’ll teach them capitalist oppressors.
Good news! CATO will explain how this immigrant will contribute $100s of millions of dollars in economic stimulus as result of his actions.
Wat? With the strait of Hormuz closed and global supply chains teetering, this guy interferes with the National TP Supply?
Are people on social media already clinging on to his celebrity?
When I first moved to eastern Europe the only toilet paper warehouse in the country burned down. Not being local I hadn’t heard about it so I didn’t rush to the store to hoard TP. It was a rough few weeks before things got back to normal.
A life of hard labor and 16 hour days for restitution.

How to think, not what yo think, right?
History and philosophy teach students how to evaluate authority, and understand how political narratives are constructed. With these disciplines losing institutional protection, students are left less prepared by their education to engage meaningfully with democracy. Civic literacy seems to be only sparingly built into our degree plans.
However, there are important steps students can take to support their own education and practice responsible citizenship by taking on the task of staying informed. Peterson discusses how he thinks students should go about this.
“You just have to figure out what it is that the university doesn’t want you to read, and then you can go and find it yourselves and read it,” said Peterson. “If it’s so sensitive that it has to be banned, it’s probably an interesting text.”
“Ask questions, get to have a desire to know and to interrogate things on a deep level, like, for example, watching the news. That’s what I have my students do,” the history PhD student said.
Don’t let those Christfags pull the wool over your eyes. Mao was right.

More McCarthy-ite thought policing
Last November, President and Chancellor Renu Khator asked faculty to align with the University’s academic commitment to teach, not indoctrinate students.
In February, deans of several colleges, including the Honors College and the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences, sent out a memorandum with similar wording, which faculty were asked to sign.
Professor Robert Zaretsky, who has a dual appointment in the Honors College and in the CLASS Department of Modern and Classical Languages, did not sign either memo.
“The very notion that I have spent the last 36 years of my life as a professor here at UH indoctrinating my students, I was indignant,” Zaretsky said. “It outraged me.”
Facts, truth and science all arc to the left. That’s not indoctrination, it’s just the way things are.
“Our students deserve confidence that their tuition dollars and the public investment in the University are directed toward courses that meet the highest standards of academic quality and prepare them for the workforce and life after college,” said a University spokesperson. “By rigorously evaluating all courses, the University is ensuring that every hour spent in a UH classroom represents a meaningful investment in students’ future success – one grounded in critical thinking, disciplinary rigor and intellectual openness.”
Who doesn’t believe that?
