That Sorsby dude has finally decided to do the right thing and leave college. I wonder if anybody will pick him up in the supplemental draft. All four WC games yesterday ended in a draw. Which is not exactly a good thing when you’re Spain and you’re playing Cape Verde. I guess the Knicks are having a parade in a couple days. Maybe they can tear the rest of the city apart. And that’s about it for sports, I think. We are entering the dog days of summer and without the World Cup, I’d have little to talk about. So thank God for that. Right, moving on…
I like how they try to paint this as a bad thing. Well it doesn’t. In fact, I want it expanded and I want every dollar that goes into it to be cut from a government school budget. The fact that they say “left behind in public schools” is damning of public schools that spend 4x the amount per pupil and get terrible results for everybody involved but the overpaid administrators and teachers.
What does their election law say? If it’s like most states, there’s something in there about stuff like this. Strangely I don’t see it cited in the story. And yes, I believe they were trying to pull some shenanigans. But they may have been legal shenanigans.
The night was all about tolerance. Which means they will not tolerate certain views. I’m having a hard time seeing how this is a good idea by MLB.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! This whole story gets funnier by the day.
I wonder how real this is. I suppose we’ll find out, but it sounds insane.
What a great source they used. Reminds me of the “according to Gaza Health Ministry Officials” nonsense the media touts to make the people they politically oppose look bad.
This is an interesting situation. I don’t understand the reasoning for the decision. But I suspect it will have lasting impacts. And not just on people who are very clearly indigent but still on the lifetime job.
Some hobbies are just not worth it. This is like the fourth story about people like this that I came across in the last 24 hours.
I just want to say I hate pretty much everybody involved in this story. The social media companies aren’t the good guys here. But the UK government is using this as a trojan horse to requirer every single adult to succumb to a digital ID scheme so everything they do and say will be trackable by the government. So they’re the bigger assholes here. And by orders of magnitude, I might add.
This is not the least bit surprising. And I’m guessing you could track it all back to the government getting involved in student loans.
I hope I haven’t played this recently. Sure it’s a great song but I hate to be redundant. Same for this one. Well either way, enjoy them both.
And enjoy this lovely Tuesday, dear friends.
The entire point of this stuff seems to be to cause division and ill will. Some corporations have figured that out but sports leagues have not.
Because sports don’t select for politics, but rather for ability, you are gonna get eruptions like this. Which is great, as it shows the world that progthink isn’t monolithic.
Explain the WNBA then..
And how much money does that league make?
I think my point i.
That will be a most excellent lawsuit from the players. Tolerance indeed.
And what if the players just ignore the “warning”?
Not sure I like MLB’s chances if they were to discipline a player and get hit with a religious discrimination lawsuit.
The warning alone is good enough to sue. Not only for religious discrimination, but for pushing a political agenda. It’s no better than making them wear shirts that say “we all vote democrat.”
The point is to get you to stop resisting and accept what your betters have decreed.
This sums it all up perfectly:

Who doesn’t want to wear the ribbon?
Negotiations with the players union just started and the league pulls this shit. And the Giants are literally trying to be worse than the Rockies.
Be a damn shame if half the squad was a late scratch due to groin pulls.
That is a titanic grift for sure, but the real problem starts way before college.
It certainly does. But before the government got in the student loan business, the dumbasses who couldn’t read were a lot less likely to have gotten into college. Now the schools accept them because all they want is the government money at elevated tuition rates.
As soon as 4-years started having remedial classes to allow those who weren’t ready for college to attend, you knew it was on a bad track.

“I like how they try to paint this as a bad thing. ”
How are you going to indoctrinate the kids of conservatives if they are not sent to the indoctrination facility 5 days a week for 9 months out of the year?
“The fact that they say “left behind in public schools” is damning of public schools…”
Yes, so very much so.
But the narrative is, and always will be, that money for voucher programs “robs” poor students in public schools of a decent education.
The best way to never have to worry about competition is to create a system rigged to not allow it. That’s the public school system. Any system that tries to avoid competition will devolve into something worse than mediocrity. Competition sucks for those that fail, but without it you will not get the differentiation nature has built into the system to advance revolution.
They could just average out, overachievers grades and the non-performers grades.

Some of Cuba’s sickest people are feeling the effects of the U.S. energy blockade, with surgeries delayed, kidney dialysis treatments disrupted and children with cancer facing a higher risk of death, according to a report published Monday by Cuban state-run media.
Rectally sourced statistics for the win. These are the same people who claimed that ten thousand African kids would die every week due to “Elon Musk’s shutdowns” of USAID programs.
I haven’t seen the piles of dead Africans yet. Where are they hiding them, and why?
The actions to end a communist regime finally made Gretha the retard demand oil be sent to Cuba..
Really? I’d think she’d love their commitment to not contributing to climate change.
So did I JI. But she went there…
And people laughed their ass off and pointed out it was always a grift with these idiots.
Well, obviously they are hiding the dead kids in Yemen’s empty volcanic craters, and those who try to expose this are falling down on the job.
Ten thousand more dead African kids isn’t that many more than the baseline?

“[Beirich] was also in a romantic relationship with F-9. During this relationship, [Beirich] and F-9 shared a house and two bank accounts,” the indictment alleges.
“Between 2015 and 2021, approximately $140,000 in donors’ money flowed from the SPLC operating account … and was ultimately deposited into the joint bank accounts held by F-9 and [Beirich].

The Catholic school tour ended, and Maria Contreras felt an overwhelming desire to enroll her 7-year-old. But first, a difficult question for the principal.
The second grader has trouble focusing. He doesn’t listen to teachers and runs around the classroom, she explained. Could he be expelled?
Back in the day, the nuns would literally whip his ass into shape before it got to that. Now…
Yup. I remember acting up, getting whacked, then going home and telling and getting whacked again and asked what stupid shit I did…

Yes, if your kid is interfering with the education of other children, he can and should be expelled.
We used to have Reform School. That was were the truly disruptive kids were sent – basically jail school.

Are there still pre-college level military schools? TT got shipped off to one of those back in the day after getting kicked out of the exclusive English Benedictine boys’ school.

They always cherry-pick the edge cases, of course. That argument ignores that there could and should be schools, or programs within schools, both public and private for the genuine special-needs kids, as opposed to the merely poorly-raised.
Mainstreaming was a mistake, as was No Child Left Behind. Some children are, sadly, uneducable, or have severe limits on how far they can progress; anything after that is expensive day-care. But tabula rasa is a leftist article of faith both, because they hate exceptionalism and because it enables expanding government school spending.
Honestly, based on some of the reporting I’ve seen coming out of CA, I blame the parents. Off the top of my head, the numbers were along the lines of 80% of students reading below grade level, and 80% of parents thinking their kids were reading at grade level or above.
Yes, and it quickly becomes a multi-generational problem as ill-educated parents believe that their ill-educated kids are proficient.
“They always cherry-pick the edge cases, of course. That argument ignores that there could and should be schools, or programs within schools, both public and private for the genuine special-needs kids, as opposed to the merely poorly-raised.”
Won’t go into too much detail, but I had the luck of attending multiple school systems across the world, and the most successful ones used tests to separate the students by skill & maturity to help the school experience be of most value to the student. It was why I tested out through every college level class in the STEM area cause I had already done that shit and knew it well.
The US school system demands we stick every kid in one classroom so nobody feels left out. And that hurts everyone.

There was a blurb on NPR about NYS’s new graduation standards. Gone are the outdated cisheteronormmative white standards of “tests,” “passing classes” or even “attending classes.” Instead there is a new, more relevant dare I say more rigorous “competency-based standards.”
And what will these graduates be “competent” in you may ask? Why duckspeaking in eight different ways critical thinking, communication, academic preparation, global citizenship, creativity, innovation, reflection, and future planning.
Obviously, that much more relevant in a world where AI will do such mundane tasks as math, reading, and deciding which democrat to vote for.

“What’s wrong with the French?”

Please be electric.
At least the US started with something closer to a tactical vehicle with the CUCV.
A one ton CUCV Version of the Suburban with a real (not a GM 6.2l oil burner) engine should have been the mainline military vehicle in the 80s and 90s instead of the Hummer.
The vehicle aims to make new capabilities available to the armed forces to support land-forces missions in France and overseas, Renault and Thales said.
Just the thing to take on a dozen Algerians armed with rocks — which is about all the French can handle these days.

To get the votes, Texas Republicans abandoned a provision that would have awarded 80% of Freedom Accounts in the first year to students leaving public schools.
Without such a provision, evidence from other states is clear: The majority of scholarships will be used by students already in private or home school.
Countdown to teachers’ unions taking over the program begins.
It’s what we saw in NH. The usual suspects sponsored legislation to take over the program. Thankfully all of them were defeated. The only one I remember off the top of my head was a bill requiring a certain number of years in a government run school before you could get the Education Freedom Account money. With government money comes government strings.
Here’s a radical idea: Discontinue school taxes and everyone who wants their kids to go to school pays for it themselves. Can’t afford to? Tough shit, should have thought about that before you started having kids.
Or everyone voluntarily agree to fund schools, and maybe even let in charity cases.
If there’s going to be taxes and taxpayer funding for schools, I will accept backpack funding, and nothing else.
I bring up abolishing government run schooling with NH conservatives and none of them get it. I do the same with PA conservatives and they get it.

This is an intra-branch action by her colleagues, not some Executive or Legislative interference. Shove it up your arse Chenoweth.
I see his point, to a certain degree. What would prevent a group district judges from saying a judge who consistently ruled on things differently was mentally incapacitated? Or one party packing an appeals court with judges and then those judges saying the few dissenters from their political ideology are no longer capable of hearing cases due to mental deficiency?
I kind of wish the SC had weighed in just to clear up what can be used to determine fitness for remaining on the bench, because I can see how them refusing to do so could be used down the road for nefarious purposes.

This isn’t about judicial independence, it is about one person who insists on dying on the bench.
You talking about that judge that was getting plowed by the court police chief with her mike still on?
I’m not completely privy to these things, but it appears that the courts like to take this on a case-by-case business. The most obvious example in recent memory was the loathsome William O. Douglas, who tried to keep working after a stroke, finally resigned, and then still tried to hear cases and issue opinions.
He is exactly right. This is a really shitty action that is bad for the independence of judges. We might not like any one individual judge and their actions, but that is secondary to them no fearing being pulled off the bench do to
politics, religion, sexage.OTOH, judges that are completely unaccountable to anyone at all (which is functionally where we are with federal judges) isn’t perhaps the greatest system, either.

We had a teen problem over the weekend. My wife was shopping near the mall, not in it. Got caught up in the traffic as cops descended on the scene.

“Teen.” Shockingly, I was able to guess the race of the “teen”.
He’s 17 (but looks 40)!
That’s because you are in state that lets people easily by firearms, right?
Not for 17-year-olds, but that doesn’t stop them here or Illinois.
Cool. My article is posting at 11 am this morning. I have a meeting. I will be late getting back to the comments.
Eternal vigilance is the price of freedom
In 2019, the gesture — with thumb and forefinger touching in a circle and other fingers outstretched — was designated a hate symbol by the New York-based Anti-Defamation League.
“Advice from our experts is that the gesture used clearly resembles an upside down ‘OK’ hand symbol used as a ‘white power’ symbol in global far-right circles,” said the Fare network, a long-time partner of FIFA and European soccer body UEFA that monitors racist and discriminatory chants, flags and symbols at international games.
“Clearly this official should have no further role to play in this World Cup,” Fare said in its statement, describing the gesture as “neo-Nazi.”
Nazis get the red card.
‘OK’ hand symbol used as a ‘white power’ symbol in global far-right circles
No, it isn’t. The whole thing was 4chan hoax that the idiot left believed.
As a diver I can tell you that for the almost 50 years I have been doing it, that hand gesture was “All is well/OK”. But whatever…
Didn’t some actual Nazis appropriate it?
But yeah whatever… it is all so goddamn stupid.
The people that make excuses for actual Nazi guys with tattoos that hate women are again making hay of some stupid hand gesture? Go figure…
So, maybe it is time to give them a different hand gesture?
Nuke it from orbit.
Question for the Glibertariat – In the common usage of English, is ‘Nave’ strictly reserved for Christian churches? Would it be applicable to other places of worship indicating a similar part of the architecture?
a nave is part of a church, not of a religion.
Aren’t churches Christian?
I’ve never heard of a Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, etc. church.
So I just signed up for the waitlist for the US IPSC National Championship at Greater Pittsburgh Gun Club, this coming September.
If I get in, and if I somehow do well enough, that’s a qualifier match for the ’29 IPSC World Shoot in Mongolia.
Probably my reach exceeds my grasp here, but fuck it. Faint heart ne’r won fair maiden…
Give it your best shot(s).
If nothing else, it’s 21 stages of shooting over three days, at one of the best clubs I’ve ever shot a match at.
Good luck – we’re all counting on you.
I’m not.
Shirly you jest.
Alas, Russel did not give me a job at that match. Bastard.
Bummer, that would have been fun. I’ll hassle Russell next time I see him.
Apparently I’m not the only one who wants to get IROA points — I as told the staff roster filled up before the shooters did.
“A spokesperson said that “there was inappropriate conduct” that was “woman-related”, but gave no further details, the Financial Times reported.”

Well, that settles it.
I’ve followed this.
It is the latest scandal concerning Fujitsu, which supplied faulty software to the Post Office in the UK, leading to thousands of post office operators being falsely accused of embezzling funds, with 900 wrongfully convicted for theft and false accounting.
The thing is in order deflect that the UK falsely criminally convicted a bunch of its own citizens they’ve been going full to Fujitsu. This is Fujitsu cleaning house. What IS interesting is usually these guys quietly go away and collect a check. It’s interesting that they decided to actually pull him for an inappropriate relationship.
That whole fiasco with baseless prosecutions over software errors still pisses me off.
I want more repercussions for the prosecutors.
I want to see a story about an MLB player wearing a hat with “Pride Goeth Before a Fall” on it.
Technically, pride goeth before destruction. It’s a haughty spirit that goeth before a fall.
The quote mutated into the vernacular aphorism. It is in such common usage that the origins cannot override the way it exists in the language.
Irregardless, most people could care less about the “proper” usage.
Could just list the 7 (or 8) deadly sins.
So you’ve tasted my cooking?
So you’re saying you inspire Gluttony?
Or Wrath?
Shocking
In a single 6.5-hour trading session, Musk added more dollars to his net worth than Buffett has assembled in roughly seven decades of compounding at Berkshire Hathaway.
OH
MY
GOD!
Tell me, what service does Berk provide? shuffling money? there are a lot of people in the money shuffling game. There’s more returns to be had in new business – but that’s risky. Warren chose safe, he got safe returns.
“Democrats Demand Reparations From African American”

Yes. That company had “no value” prior to it becoming public.
Once it traded all that value just sprung to life.
president Pump-and-Dump
President Jimmy Carter putting his peanut farm in a trust to avoid a conflict of interest feels like a long time ago.
Financial disclosures submitted to the Office of Government Ethics and dissected by CBS News show that accounts owned by President Donald Trump made 3,642 stock trades from January to March this year.
Trump and Israel began a war in Iran during this period. There was civil unrest too, as two American citizens were killed on the street and others died in custody during Trump’s violent immigration crackdown. Many of Trump’s trades coincided with White House policy directives and Trump making public statements about the companies.
While the monetary value of the trades depend on how each stock is valued now and in the future, CBS puts the minimum valuation of Trump’s trades at $212 million and the maximum at a whopping $695 million. The disclosures show that Trump’s favorite place to buy and sell stocks is the technology sector, followed by exchange-traded funds and the industrial industry. Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, Netflix, Advanced Micro Devices, and Oracle were Trump’s most traded stocks.
How does he even have time to destroy democracy when he’s so busy day trading?
That the American people voted for.
Cry harder, assholes.
The most powerful person in the nation trading at such a massive scale presents even more opportunity for corruption. An investment professional told CBS he had “never seen a strategy out there that would warrant that amount of trading.” Another expert said the trading looked to be an attempt to lower Trump’s tax bill. Senator Elizabeth Warren called for an investigation into “potential insider trading” by the president, in response to the disclosures.
He makes a Bond villain look like a kid running a lemonade stand.
Is this a good time to discuss all the stock trades made by congresslizards?
