Tuesday Morning Links

Carolina has jumped out to a 2-0 series lead against Philly. Wonder how Gritty will react when the series shifts back to Philadelphia? Vegas is 1-0 up on Anaheim. The Wild will try to even their series with Colorado tonight, and the Sabres will start theirs against the only Canadian/Canadien team left tomorrow. The NBA playoffs are still going. The Astros continue to be an embarrassment, although their entire division is ass this year. And across the pond, Man City faltered while Forest got a win that all but secures them from relegation. And UCL semifinal second legs start tonight (this afternoon here). And that’s it for sports.

We will welcome them with open arms. I’m kidding. The chances of this happening are very low and I doubt they’d ever ask to be a part of the US. But it is kind of funny to see what’s happening there. I almost wish a few states in the US would see if they have the votes to leave and what the reaction would be.

This is getting out of hand. I guess it’s what happens when an unqualified activist retard is placed in a high position of power. I hope more majority opinions are penned like this in the future.

Whores and drugs? Yes. A nice juicy steak? Absolutely not! Good luck with this nonsense.

And they’ll vote for people even further on the left. Because they’re fucking stupid.

I wonder what the cause is. ::puts on tinfoil hat:: Lagging sales will be what they say, but I am curious how much of it is the crackdown on H1B visas and the SBA not giving loans to foreigners. ::takes off tinfoil hat::

Want to know what it’s like to check basically every DEI box? Well now you do. This man is a walking rolling Netflix movie.

If everything is hate speech, then nothing is hate speech. And no, you idiots, this is not hate speech.

Yeah, but they have better bread than the US. At least they claim to because they’re retarded. But they’ll gloss over this from their poverty state.

This judge is an imbecile. Although I’m not the least bit surprised.

I’m shocked! I never thought I’d see the day there was a corruption from California government officials.

Here’s a good one. They deserved more success. At least that’s my opinion. Anyway, enjoy them both.

And enjoy this lovely Tuesday, dear friends.

    Vegas is 1-0 up on Anaheim. The Wild will try to even their series with Vegas tonight

    Vegas is playing two series at the same time?

    • Rat on a train

      Vegas has such a good bench they formed another team that made the playoffs?

      • Ted S.

        Sure, Jan.

      • Tres Cool

        Booo!

        I-O, so it’s off to work I go.

    This whole thing is so wild to me. The Met Gala itself is something that, even if you’re not in the fashion world, is such a major spectacle.

    Yeah, if you’re an attention-seeking rube with more money than sense, I can see that.

    • Nephilium

      Up until the past couple of years, I couldn’t have told you what the Met Gala was. Even now, my awareness of it extends to a definition of “rich twats showing how rich they are ‘for the little guy'”.

      It’s the type of conspicuous social signalling that puts me on edge.

      • DrOtto

        Isn’t it that thing where rich kids wear clothes that say shit like “eat the rich”?

      • Ownbestenemy

        Aye and all the “rich” folk got to party mask free while the help was subjugated and put in their place.

      • Nephilium

        Yeah. Events like that awaken my inner Tyler Durden.

      • UnCivilServant

        It makes you want to punch yourself in the face?

    • UnCivilServant

      I’m going to have to side with the confused shoppers on this one.

      If the only thing happening in-country is decanting the product into retail packaging, it should be labelled as a foreign product.

    Judge Faruqui then served for twelve years as a federal prosecutor in the U.S. Attorney’s Offices in St. Louis and Washington D.C. While there, he prosecuted cases involving terrorists use of cryptocurrency, North Korean weapons proliferation, darknet sites dedicated to child exploitation, and the theft of antiquities. He also represented the Department of Justice at numerous conferences across the globe on financial crimes, cryptocurrency, and national security issues.

    Amsterdam has reportedly become the first capital city in the world to ban public ads for meat and fossil fuels — wiping burgers, gas-powered cars, and airline promotions from billboards, tram stops and metro stations.

    C’mon, the whole country is there because of dikes. Is there anyone surprised that they’d have a preference for fish?

    • Rat on a train

      When will they finalize the 15 minute prison system.

    • (((Jarflax

      The dikes keep the fish out.

    • rhywun

      Good. Let some non-American city lead the way to self-destruction so the lesson is there for others to learn from if they dare.

        Meat is so good for you, they don’t want you to have access to it. I’ll be curious to see the trend of height and IQ in the Netherlands over the next 30 years.

      • juris imprudent

        Just amongst the dhimmi population. The halal consuming will do just fine.

      • The Artist Formerly Known as Lackadaisical

        JI, their IQs will remain stubbornly low due to all the inbreeding. Unless they really get the rape gangs going in Netherlands too.

      • rhywun

        Well, the green crowd and the invader crowd are both death cults so maybe they can all go down together.

        Historically, ratifying a treaty for the annexation of Texas was done by a simple majority of both Houses. Which doesn’t seem right.

        Well, first we need to find a slave state to admit, because every time you admit a free state, you need to admit a slave state so that mint juleps don’t get outlawed.

    One other sports bit: Hearts took a step towards breaking the Old Firm duopoly.

    • sloopyinca

      I’m still fearful they’ll stumble and end up losing out to Celtic in the last game of the season on goal difference somehow. Maybe Rangers will draw or beat those assholes this weekend and put that to rest.

    • juris imprudent

      At least the PL (English and Scottish) have title races this year; Germany, Italy, France and Netherlands already decided and Spain all but decided.

    Re: Alberta

    Seems they could be one of those super rich petrostates (like Norway, for example) if they cut ties with mother Canada. Seems like a no-brainer. You’re in a super safe area, so being a small country isn’t going to really hurt you, big brother USA will always have your back.

    • The Last American Hero

      Their lack of ports could be an issue.

  9. rhywun

    Alito wrote that maps only violate the Voting Rights Act when there is a “strong inference that the State intentionally drew its districts to afford minority voters less opportunity because of their race.”

    Less opportunity to what?

    • Fourscore

      I’m thinking there should be a handicap for voters, similar to golf/bowling.

      If you can check enough ‘handicaps’ your vote gets bonus points. For example, being left-handed in a right handed world counts for something extra.

      I have a little extra life experience, there’s a senior bonus waiting to be used at voting time.

    “I am curious how much of it is the crackdown on H1B visas and the SBA not giving loans to foreigners”

    “The decision narrowed Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which has long been used to challenge congressional maps as racially discriminatory.”

    …and to then draw racially discriminatory maps.

      But it was good discrimination.

    But they’ll gloss over this from their poverty state.

    They’re certainly not going to do the quickest and surest way to get rid of slavery in the UK – stop importing slavers, slave owners, and slaves. Because every single one is imported, I am sure.

    • rhywun

      I only skimmed that but I didn’t see any mention of that. They seem to be giving the impression that Englanders up and started enslaving each other for no reason.

      So this is the CEO of the company that was the short play of a couple of years ago, right? If he was CEO then, I understand why the pros were shorting.

    Remember the monkey guy? The one who had 2 different GA county sheriff departments conspire to violate his rights?

    He has been trying to get a “watch the police” style website going, with limited success. Absent the drama of his ongoing personal legal battle, he hasn’t really captured an audience.

    But his legal battles continue, as he presses civil rights lawsuits, again representing himself.

    And now he puts out a video claiming they are stalking him and trying to kill him. Honestly, it sounds a little unhinged.

    But….

    He posts something of relevance to many here. He brings up the hot topic of FLOCK. Turns out, after his bogus traffic charges finally got dismissed (a year later), the deputies in the area used FLOCK to surveille his movements, across Georgia and his home state of Florida. They have drug enforcement agents searching him in FLOCK.

    He thinks people have been following him… he says he has received death threats…

    So he uses a public FLOCK search transparency site to look himself up and discovers that multiple sheriff offices have been following him using FLOCK. Including a spouse of one deputy who works in another county.

    Just because you are paranoid….

      What happened to the “Photography is not a crime” folks?

      • cyto

        They rebranded as “auditors”. There is an entire industry of them. They are all over my feed because I follow crazy radical stuff like basic civil rights. Wading through dozens of videos of guys standing in front of banks with cameras to “audit” first amendment protections as bank customers worry over being video recorded as they get money from the ATM is … what is the right word? Frustrating? Annoying? Tedious?

      • cyto

        And monkey guy was great. He got targeted by a couple of rules, probably looking to Civil Asset Forfeiture his big new SUV.

        He wound up getting a county attorney fired, a judge refused, a couple of counties in the cross hairs of civil rights suits…. and even won against Ford Motor Company, compelling them to give him data from the rental truck.

        Yes, this guy was so much of an “i shall fight this injustice”, die on this hill type of guy that he went as far as getting the secret computer data off of a rental SUV to prove that police lied on the tickets they issued and in subsequent testimony to the GBI (yes, he got the GBI to investigate them for criminal conspiracy). He used it to prove that they lied under oath when they testified that he had been following too closely before their in-car video began, but he quickly hit the brakes when he saw them. The computer data from the car demonstrated that he did not hit the brakes.

        How many people sue Ford Motor Company in the course of fighting a traffic ticket?

        I heard about it from this guy

    ‘And now, Subway’s struggles on home turf show no sign of slowing, with the sandwich giant shrinking its US footprint for a staggering 10th year in a row.’

    It is almost as if having a whole bunch of people open franchises who probably don’t even eat meat, get overseas people to come work there and then also to slash quality and raise prices at the same time isn’t a winning strategy.

    • UnCivilServant

      When forced by circumstance to have their food, I described Subway as “Distilled Disappointment”

      I still care about as much as that assessment about their fate.

      • The Artist Formerly Known as Lackadaisical

        I used to actually enjoy it, maybe 20 years ago.

        Every visit in the last 5+ years has been terrible. Terrible staff, wimpy bread, sad meats, sometimes suspect veggies. Just stupid to ever eat there again. I’d rather go hungry.

      • EvilSheldon

        Every once in a while, I forget how shit Subway is and get a sandwich there, then spend the next day or two regretting it.

      • cyto

        I think the drastic shrinking of the subway footprint shows that a part of their business model was simply selling franchises. Kinda like Amway. They were never too concerned with the success of those restaurants, as they would allow one to open a block or two away from an existing shop.

      • EvilSheldon

        What’s wrong with Chipotle?

        A Chipotle double-chicken, white rice, pico, and guacamole bowl is my default ‘skipped my meal prep/can’t be bothered to cook’ dinner. Second place is two McDoubles crammed into a single bun.

        I make a pretty good copycat adobo chicken bowl with salsa and guac myself, anyway. In fact, I’m gonna have one for lunch.

    • The Other Kevin

      Well yeah, if you run into a secure area past armed guards and start shooting at elected officials, you should expect to get shot.

    • Fourscore

    Wow, that poor guy who attempted to kill the president and shot a secret service agent with buckshot was held in solitary for a whole few days??

    The horror.. I am so glad this judge learned from the way people were held without bond in solitary confinement for over a year on trespassing charges. I mean, at least those guys were transferred around the country in chains in painful positions without food, water or bathroom breaks for tens of hours. Nothing like the horror of being put on suicide watch after making a suicide run at the president.

    • Ownbestenemy

      Well the judge is claiming no such treatment of J6ers was given and then somehow is tying an actual assassination/terroist action to J6ers

      • juris imprudent

        It’s a narrative; shut up and believe it, don’t try to make sense of it.

    • Nephilium

      He only tried to assassinate Trump, it’s not like he committed any REAL crime.

      • juris imprudent

        The real crime is he failed in the attempt?

        Pretty sure that is actually what the judge was apologizing for…

        Now you’ve got it JI. The Narrative is what matters, not if it’s true or not.

  21. Common Tater

    Subway used to be be great. Then the quality in the some of the stores declined. So it wasn’t being enforced from the top.

    Then inflation happened. $5 footlongs were only six years ago? Now they are $15.

    No one wants to pay three times as much for a worse sandwich.

    Irrelevant anecdote.

    I tried the demo for “Going Medieval” over the weekend. The game can be summed up as “Rimworld but Middle Ages”.

    I built up my structures for efficient workflow and settler movement, and set up various walls and fances to control the domestic and wild animals. It was only when I got a warning of an attack and started looking to where I could place defenses that I realized I’d unintentionally built an actual castle and just needed battlements for the archers to fire from…

    • cyto

      We have small water parks in some of our public parks down here in south Florida.

      We even have a tow-rope water ski attraction.

      It is hot. Playgrounds here often have water.

    “Now the family are among 1,100 Afghans, at least 700 of them women and children, who were evacuated by the US for resettlement. Stranded in Qatar, they now face the prospect of being sent to another war-torn nation: the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Last month it was confirmed that the Trump administration was in talks to send the Afghans who had assisted US forces to the DRC, instead of the US resettlement they had been promised.”

    That makes no sense.

      If the Guardian cares so much about them, England can have them.

      Stranded in Qatar

      Muslim country that refuses to take in Muslim refugees? Not one fucking word about THAT?

      • rhywun

        But we pinky sweared to take them in.

        Hell, that’s likely the only reason they helped us.

    Good news everyone! The Department of Defense“War”Semantical Games announces Project Freedom is a totally and completely separate military action from Operation Urgent Fury.

      So the expense count starts at zero (again)

      Look, it’s only cost ….. to date

      • juris imprudent

        Sadly there was a semantic mixup and you get Operation Unguent Furries.

    I watched Dawn of the Planet of the Apes last night.

    What a ham-fisted sermon on the true meaning of diversity and inclusion. Other than that it was totally believable.

      That is a reboot or reimagining I was not even aware of.

      The last one of those I watched was the earlier reboot.

      • R.J.

        I didn’t even like the originals.

      • Common Tater

        I think the originals were great, but all the reboots are crap.

      • rhywun

        I think the originals were great, but all the reboots are crap.

        Pretty much. I’ve seen two or three of the original’s sequels – pretty good.

        I saw the one reboot with Wahlberg. Forgettable.

        The book is nothing like the origional movie.

    Let me get this straight. Democracy is good. In a democracy, voters express their preferences, and the most popular by majority vote are implemented. But that means the minority don’t get their way, and that’s bad. So we need to make the minority into an artificial majority. Because fairness.

    Democracy is inherently unfair.

    • kinnath

      democracy is majority rule is mob rule.

        /Remembers being chosen last, only it wasn’t a choice when there’s only one left

    • juris imprudent

      No, no, no – you don’t understand democracy at all. Democracy is people praising the enlightened leadership for the glorious future that is coming. If the people fail the leadership, then a new people must be established.

      She thought she’d get a nice tax-funded payoff for tattling that her company wasn’t woke enough. I gotta say, my heart just bleeds for her.

        More broadly, there are all kinds of incentives for people in financial services to be whistleblowers for legitimate harms to customers.

        However, in practice they never seem to actually pay and the whistleblower’s career is obliterated.

    • R.J.

      That does suck. Never trust a Fed.

      Hopefully no one hires her.

    There is nothing about this phrase that should be considered hate speech.

    But this is America and somehow the phrase that millions of Christians have used is now being used to antagonize Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Black Americans, immigrants, the LGBTQ community, and well just about anyone who isn’t a white Christian nationalist. The phrase has been adopted and weaponized by the far right who have been turned off by the Republican Party and American diversity.

    And it is working. “Christ is King” will get likes, follows, re-shares, and engagement because well, this is still a majority Christian country. The thing is, far-right individuals like those belonging to the Groyper movement have transitioned from “America First” to “Christ is King” as a way to attack people they flat out hate.

    The perpetually aggrieved will rise to any bait.

    “A seemingly non-binary tutor and lecturer in biochemistry at a historic female college in Oxford is raising concerns from women’s rights advocates after images circulated showing him wearing large prosthetic breasts to campus. According to his professional profile, Matt Rattley also tutors young students privately.”

      That explains some things about FB too “Paul Haaga Jr, who once served as the acting President and CEO of NPR, and was a former trustee of the Facebook Oversight Board. ”

      a ban on males in female sports would make him “uncomfortable,”

      Well, we can’t have that. His comfort takes priority over any fairness to which half the human race thinks it is entitled.

      I got a good look at a Tesla the other day when my financial guy let me drive/be driven around by his car.

      You could make one into a targa top pretty easily by knocking out the big double sun roof. That would be pretty cool.

        I’m about to replace my Model 3 with another one as the battery and drivetrain warranty expire after 8 years.

        It’s been a great second car. The only reason I’m replacing it is because I can and don’t want to worry. But if I wasn’t in that position I’d just put a new set of tires on it and run it.

        Still don’t want one as my only car.
