The Red Sox game was postponed, so the streak is still alive. The Astros are on an epic heater right now with a two game win streak. Football is back with training camps underway. And there’s nothing else going on in sports aside from another potential doping scandal at the Tour de France. But that should surprise nobody. OK, moving on.
Just a billion? Cut it all off there. And do the same in every state where massive fraud is happening. So probably just cut off every state, because every time I turn around there’s a story about some massive scam that’s been going on for several years.
More! More! More! And fire up the planes and keep the ball rolling.
What a performative shitshow. Why am I not surprised?
I guess the buck stops over there. She certainly wasn’t gonna take responsibility, even though her party has had a death grip on control of the state since forever.

Maybe having states manage federal money is a bad idea in general?
It’s looking like an even worse idea than outsourcing to NGOs through USAID. Which was colossally stupid.
The incentives are all wrong. The more program X spends, the more matching funds it gets. But the states have to pay for program administration, including antifraud work, out if their own pockets. Everybody is thus incentivized to “bring as much federal money to the state” as they can; even stolen money shows up as a plus under this system. Nobody is incentivized to stop fraud.
You know the drill: You get more of what you reward, and less of what you punish.
And all that waste and fraud gets counted in GDP.
Win win!
Baseline budgeting, matching funds, indexing for inflation, and no measurable indicia of effect, this is the perfect recipe for out of control spending and zero benefits. So of course it’s now baked into our law as the way to run the government.

I don’t.
Yeah, you men don’t understand women. A convo for another time.
Granted this is true. Living with someone who you believe wants to kill you is a problem that has to be solved even if inconvenient. What sort of help do you want sent to that house? Police? Money?
Not in our family nature to ask for money, but at this rate I wouldn’t turn it down.
Only have a credit union debit card…
email me at Jarflax at gmail. I will Paypal you money if you have a plan to get out of the house with it. If you are going to stay I won’t because Bob has gotten all the money from me that he ever will.

Let’s see what they say about this:
https://newjerseyglobe.com/state-government/statement-of-idemia-the-mvc-software-vendor/
“IDEMIA works with the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission, and has for more than 40 years, to support the process through which eligible individuals may indicate their interest in registering to vote when applying for or renewing a driver’s license or state-issued identification card. IDEMIA’s role is to transmit information through the motor vehicle system. The voter registration information is transmitted to the New Jersey Department of State, Division of Elections, which is ultimately responsible for verifying eligibility to vote. Information submitted by IDEMIA must still be validated and adjudicated by the Division of Elections.”
I’m going to guess they say nothing.
There should be connection whatsoever between motor vehicle licensing and voter registration. The fact that it universally is everywhere just tells me that cheating was the whole point.

The company, Wildcat Contractors, has yet to be paid and has had to tap reserves to help cover the errant $545,000 it dearly wants. “I didn’t get scammed, they got scammed,” Chief Executive Alyssa Bowker said of the town. “Why should I not be paid?”
Surfside Beach Mayor Robert Krouse said the emailed payment request appeared genuine. “We don’t see where the town erred,” he said, so he didn’t see “why we should be paying double.
It’s unclear from my skim of the article if the contractor actually was exploited or simply impersonated. From my read it’s impersonated. I don’t see how that’s the contractor fault.

That’s for the lawyers and forensic accountants to decide. I’m sure it will only take many months…
This isn’t hard or complicated. There is no legal issue here at all. The only factual issue is whether the contractor is lying about not getting paid. It will take about 15 seconds to confirm that the money never got to the contractor. So they are still owed payment.
“Courtney Stodden called out “Seinfeld” alum Jason Alexander over a controversial 2012 “Funny or Die” sketch she filmed with him when she was underage.

How do you rack up that much plastic surgery by the time you’re 31?
At the time of the sketch, Stodden was married to “The Green Mile” actor Doug Hutchison — who was 35 years her senior. The two (pictured here in July 2013) wed in 2011 when she was 16 and he was 51.
Fuck off you whiney bitch.
Hey she was promised fame and fortune for her ass and the money has run out! That means she was retroraped.

“Donald Trump will allow Saudi Arabia to develop its own civilian nuclear program under a sweeping new deal as the Iran war spirals into the Red Sea and oil races toward $100 a barrel.
The agreement is reported to be worth tens of billions of dollars and structured to give US companies a central role in building the kingdom’s uranium enrichment facilities on Saudi soil.
Saudi leaders are said to have agreed only to limited international inspections of the sites. Those arrangements are intended to stop enriched fuel being diverted towards weapons.”

“Oil spiraling toward $100 per barrel”
Where should it be, adjusted for inflation? It was over $100 in 2014. Then we had all the tracking shale oil ans prices crashed….
I remember domestic oil production exploded as oil went above $60 a quarter century ago… which ended up with the boom in production. If I remember, the inflection point for the new US fields was $30. Anything below that was unprofitable.
Everything has doubled in cost since then – so I wonder where the normal, safe, sustainable low price is these days?

Trump likes to do things the easy way. Threat, bluster, maybe a very quick bit of military posturing – and then a deal. The same thing for trade policy – some threats, some tarrifs, and a renegotiate deal.
But he didnt count on ideological opposition. Iran doesnt *want* a peace deal with Isreal. They want them gone. So they dont want to stop funding Hamas and Hezbollah. He didnt count on them playing out their hand after he took out the religious leaders.
He would happily declare victory and go home if they offered some platitudes and waited a moment before business as usual. But they have different pressures and rewards than we do. And I dont think us bombing them is costing their government nearly as much as Trump had hoped.
He may have really painted himself into a corner here
Iran also knows that if they hang on for 5 months, Team Red will lose Congress and Trump will be dealing with impeachment (again) rather than reordering the Middle East.

Looking for a Montana Ranch For Sale? Thirty minutes from Whitefish and nearly surrounded by Flathead National Forest, this 178± deeded-acre gated estate represents one of Montana’s most compelling and unique configurations. With no neighboring homes in sight, the property delivers the kind of absolute privacy and self-sufficiency that would be difficult to replicate on scale.
Designed with grandeur, self-sufficiency, and security in mind, the estate offers seven distinct dwellings, an additional central barndominium-style lodge and a small off-grid cabin, all offered turnkey. At its heart, the masterfully crafted, recently expanded main residence with thoughtfully designed outdoor living spaces makes this home suitable for a variety of use profiles. Six brand-new guest homes provide comfortable, independent accommodations for staff, family, or executive teams.
The infrastructure behind this property is equally impressive. Wells, multiple septic systems, backup generators and internet service, with over one million dollars invested in road development, ensure the estate operates reliably and independently.
Beyond the buildings, the land itself has been meticulously developed with rolling terrain, mature trees, two spring-fed fish ponds, a professionally built shooting range, gazebos, and large equipment shops. Ranch equipment is included in the offering.

$15,950,000 Whitefish, MT 178± Deeded Acres
Seven lakes and reservoirs with established senior water rights anchor Aspen Ridge Ranch in south-central Oregon, creating a level of control and operational stability that is increasingly difficult to secure. Spanning 3,598.37± deeded acres near Bly, the ranch is built for a buyer who values privacy, reliable production, and the ability to operate independently across seasons.
The property supports a proven cattle operation, combining deeded ground with an adjoining U.S. Forest Service allotment to create scale and flexibility for seasonal grazing. Timbered ridges, open meadows, and well-distributed water sources allow for efficient livestock movement while also sustaining strong wildlife presence, including elk and mule deer. Fishhole Creek and multiple impoundments further enhance both habitat and on-ranch recreation.
Improvements are designed to support ownership use plus guest accommodations, without compromising functionality. A 7,000± square foot log lodge serves as the central hub for gatherings, complemented by five additional log cabins and a historic manager’s residence. The layout accommodates staff, guests, or multi-generational use while maintaining separation from core ranch operations. A hydroelectric system with propane backup provides dependable power for off-grid living.
Beyond its operational strength, the ranch offers year-round recreation, including on-site fishing, big game hunting, riding, snowmobiling, and cross-country skiing. Crater Lake National Park, Warner Canyon Ski Area, and Gearhart Wilderness are easy destinations for day trips. Held by the same family since 1975, Aspen Ridge Ranch reflects long-term stewardship and practical investment in land, water, and infrastructure—positioning it as a capable working ranch with luxurious owner and guest accommodations, plus the added benefit of privacy and self-reliance.

Some properties offer a place to live. Others offer a place to escape. Runway Ranch offers a lifestyle that few properties in the Midwest can match.
Located just 50 miles north of St. Louis in scenic Calhoun County, Illinois, this remarkable 96-acre property brings together aviation, recreation, and country living into one extraordinary offering.
Imagine taking off after work and landing on your own 1,600-foot by 100-foot private airstrip less than an hour later. The scenic approach welcomes you home to rolling pastures, mature timber, and a beautiful stocked lake, creating an experience unlike any other.
The property is designed to support both work and recreation. A 96′ x 75′ metal building is divided into three functional spaces, including an aircraft hangar with a hydraulic Icon door and concrete floor, a heated and insulated workshop, and additional storage for equipment, vehicles, or recreational toys.
The comfortable 2-bedroom, 3-bath home overlooks the property and provides a peaceful place to unwind after a day outdoors. A guest cabin with an established history of rental income offers additional accommodations for family, friends, or continued investment potential.
Outside is where Runway Ranch truly shines.
The 3.5-acre stocked lake, reaching depths of nearly twenty feet, offers outstanding fishing for bass, bluegill, crappie, and catfish. Ten fenced paddocks ranging from one-half acre to twenty acres make the property ideal for horses, cattle, or even exotic livestock.
Calhoun County has long been recognized as one of Illinois’ premier destinations for trophy whitetails, and this property provides exceptional habitat with mature timber, native warm-season grasses, water, and cover. Turkey are plentiful, while the established native grass fields provide excellent habitat for wild quail.
When you’re ready to venture beyond the property, public hunting areas provide excellent duck hunting, while nearby McCully Heritage Project and Pere Marquette State Park offer miles of horseback riding, hiking, and outdoor adventure.
Whether your passion is flying, hunting, fishing, horseback riding, or simply enjoying the peace and beauty of the countryside, Runway Ranch delivers an opportunity that is nearly impossible to duplicate.

Our interconnected global “defense” industry.
The U.S. grows most of its linters domestically—but wants to significantly boost cotton linter production and increase its capacity to convert it into nitrocellulose.
In Europe, where farmers replaced cotton with other crops centuries ago, countries have long relied on China for linters, and for manufactured guncotton. They are now looking to expand their own production of guncotton, and assessing alternative natural precursors to make it.

Bob thinks he’s inherited Castle Rackrent, and is doing a crap job of maintaining it. Anyone would, to be fair. It’s just hilarious that he thinks he can.
DNFCA.
All for a little bit of money. I just don’t understand it.

Deep Thoughts by Jackoff Handy:
I had something very clever and insightful to say about an extremely trivial subject, but it slipped from my memory five seconds after thought…slowly slipping into late middle-age is both interesting and concerning.
I was pleased in middle age not to need the dictionary anymore so much. Then I acquired CRS. Ya know that guy…
(I really can’t afford to be here long)
*Scrolls upthread*
Christ, Woman! Da fuck you doing!? Look, I’ve empathized with Bob for years due to mutual experiences but after his wife needed a foot amputation then died soon after he’s slowly been traveling the downward spiral.
*Bob, if you’re reading this, I’m only reading one side of this story but your silence isn’t exactly supporting a rebuttal.*
TOG…Glib Gulch awaits!, Hell, I’ll GoFund you a few bills if you set up an account…
People have tried various ways to determine what’s going on and help. Plenty of people willing, but there’s not much anyone can do without cooperation from the person who needs it.
Thank youse, sweeties. Will revisit here.
He doesn’t seem to visit here anymore, only X lately. Mancrush for Elon.
I dunno, have tried to leave him alone.
‘People have tried various ways to determine what’s going on and help. Plenty of people willing, but there’s not much anyone can do without cooperation from the person who needs it.’
Fair.
Yeah, you’d expect better of a Glib. EXCEPT IF SAID GLIB WERE BIPOLAR ALCOHOLIC.
TH and Bro, I can so rarely even get an internet connection! I really really do appreciate your concern. 😚 Annnd now i’m run off my feet with household shit, 5 dogs, invalid mother, invalid Bob.
There’s some life advice. Don’t leave it as long as me.

I’ll help you out, I have one:
AI is like meat substitute. Sure, there are people who like it and it serves a purpose to them. But neither are “indistinguishable” from the real thing, and might never be. They’re not fooling anyone.
It is like AI artwork, you know it when you see it. It might take a little time at first, but now it is second nature, even the supposedly photo realistic stuff. In the end, all it has done is lower the trust thresh hold just a little bit more.
When I was a child, I read the term “wrecking bar” and asked what it was. My teacher told me that it was a large crowbar. TIL that teacher had misinformed me. It is amazing how many decades you can go not knowing things.
Uh. Can I discretely ask what it actually is? Because I dont want everyone to know Im not in the know…

It definitely has prying features, but also has gripping and hammer bits. Extremely useful when building/tearing down a shooting stage and one is going in my shooting match tool kit.
NA. That’s like a cyberpunk roofing hammer.
Wouldn’t a cyberpunk rooking hammer be an implanted nailgun in your forearm?
You’d better go correct Wikipedia then, it redirects wrecking bar to crowbar.
(unless you’re banned from making edits as a wrongthinkful person)
Oh, it’s so complimicated anyway. Dashing in as an amateur seemed safest.
If you haven’t been banned from Wikipedia, it’s obvious you don’t even First.
It’s more of a multifunction hammer, though instead of a hatchet or peeing function, it has prying functions.
Curiously, before the invention of the crowbar, crows used to drink at home.
Somebody needs “disposing of bodies” in his search history.
Whose body are you trying to dispose of?
How many and what type?
Are we talking plague victims? Commies and other enemies of mankind? Failed clones?
video games have taught me that if you hit a corpse with a stone hammer, they disappear.
I’ve not followed European vehicle regulations closely, but unless this is a reaction to that it appears JLR has learned little from the Jaguar debacle.

Sorry to barf on youse’s shoeses.
Youtube puked up a fascinating little tidbit the other day:
Did you know?
Prohibition wasn’t actually about wife beating layabout drunkards. It was a plot by John D Rockefeller to eliminate ethanol motor fuel. Pretty sneaky, huh?
Progressivism has been astroturf campaigns secretly serving moneyed interests from the start, huh?
That’s because Jaguar Land Rover (now known as JLR) has envisioned a new type of crossover, stretching the Range Rover design ethos and draping it over a fastback body with an electric powertrain underneath.
That looks suspiciously like a station wagon.
TOG falling apart in real time, with health signs.

There’s a tradition that’s been going on in my family for a couple of decades now.
I mean to break it, but it’s not up to me.
Maybe Zeron will kick the UN out of New York, since he can’t just arrest anybody who shows up there.
Problem solved
France banned children under 15 from using social media on Tuesday, becoming the first country in the European Union to pass a blanket ban on the platforms as concerns grow worldwide over the harmful effects of digital content on kids.
Both chambers of the Parliament voted in favor of the measure, a flagship initiative of French President Emmanuel Macron’s second term. The bill also bans the use of mobile phones in high schools.
Several families in France have sued TikTok over teen suicides they say are linked to harmful content. Children’s advocates and parents applauded the vote.
Okay then. What’s next?
They’re trying to wrestle control of the internet away from the private corps that have taken over and enshitified it already to the government who will somehow make it even shittier.
Nothing to see here people. Natural order of things.
Utopia, duh.
Australia is so proud of this. Every news story on this topic includes the phrase “Australia’s world first ban on social media…” Of course, the government is already being attacked because it didn’t go far enough. And also, in what seems to a surprise to the elites, kids are finding ways to beat the blocks. 🙄
There’s your proof the ban isn’t harsh enough!
Why do you hate children?
So New Jersey is admitting that not only did 6k non-citizens get registered, but that some of them actually voted (supposedly just 400).
I’m sure charges will be coming any day now.
NPR had a “non-partisan expert” on to praise NJ for their transparency on disclosing/fixing this problem while pointing out it has no effect on any election.
Every vote counts and is sacred. Right up until the non-citizen casts one canceling out a citizen’s and then it’s statistically insignificant.
Thinking that only citizens should have a say in their elections is so jingoistic and yokeltarian.
And some localities are conveniently letting illegals vote in local elections. I guess they pinky swear not to fill in the bubbles for president and whatnot.
So we’re in the, “OK, it’s happening, but it’s not a big deal” stage.
It’s more of a multifunction hammer, though instead of a hatchet or peeing function, it has prying functions.
And you can climb a frozen waterfall with it.
*I have never seen one before. It looks like somebody’s product development team deserves a pat on the head. They had to call it a wrecking bar because Swiss Army Hammer was a legal quagmire.

I offered money with the condition that it be used to help you get out of the situation. If you are staying in the situation my money won’t help. I wish you well, and hope you can manage to get your own head straight, at least straight enough to recognize that the only way this improves is if you leave.

Just as long as they don’t vote for any fascists, we’ll let them slide.
You can be sure that whoever filled out those ballots made the “correct” choices.
“We’ve been campaigning for this bill from the start because, frankly, we have no other option, no other way to counter tech giants,” said Gaëlle Berbonde, a 52-year-old who lives in the Paris region. “The only thing we can do is protect our children, just as we protect our children from drinking alcohol.”
Someone, somewhere, having fun.
And by “protect children”, I mean “set up a gigantic government bureaucracy to make those choices for you”.
I was promised corporate armies.
Tech giants should form them and fight this kind of garbage with bullets not lawyers.

I’m disturbed by this. Chinese companies use AI to generate fake ads tailored to Americans to sell shitty supplements. Of course I knew this was happening, but the scale of it, and seeing the sweatshop where this shit is generated, is not sitting well. (TW: NYTimes)

Pete Hegseth’s new proposal to add testosterone screenings to service members’ periodic health assessments.
“The U.S. military does not need more testosterone; it needs better leadership,” Kelly said on MS NOW’s “The Briefing with Jen Psaki” on Monday.
——-
“The president should fire Pete Hegseth,” said Kelly, a former U.S. Navy captain. “He’s making awful decisions, is putting service members at risks that I would not have expected when I served that a secretary of Defense would make these sort of decisions, nor a president.”
A group of Democratic senators expressed “serious concerns” about the screening change in a Monday letter to the Defense secretary, citing “longstanding medical guidance” opposing routine population-wide testosterone screenings.
The Democratic lawmakers included Sens. Richard Blumenthal (Conn.), Mazie Hirono (Hawaii), Gary Peters (Mich.), Elizabeth Warren (Mass.) and Ruben Gallego (Ariz.).
The science doesn’t get any better than that.
I feel like testosterone screenings for troops should be fairly apolitical. The left gets up in arms over everything the fucking Trump regime does to the point where it just drowns out any sensible criticism entirely.
Even female troops can get screened and treated if they’d like.
There’s literally nothing to bitch about here. No one is being forced to take anything. These are guys you want to send off and fight wars.
I agree, it shouldn’t be a big deal to add it to routine blood work.
It needs more fatty meat and less carbs.
Also less booze.
Eat like crap and cut out meat from your diet for a week before the test.
Get diagnosed with low T
Juice.
Repeat.
Forgive me for being dense/late to the party but should I go ahead and assume that HK died within the last year or less? If someone I feel guilty for just reaching that conclusion and feeling sad personally. She was a very bright, insightful, intelligent woman.

This Cornishman compares the clannish culture of the people of Sennen Cove, at the western edge of Britain, to that of the Indian caste system. Dick George, interviewed in 1982, grew up on the sandy ridge above the cove but was still regarded as an outsider by the covers who would discourage their daughters from marrying his kind.
This explains why the People of the British Isles study discovered in 2015 that natives of Cornwall formed their own genetic cluster, distinct from that of Devon on the other side of the Tamar. Intermarriage with Cornishmen in the neighbouring village, let alone with Welshmen or Devonians, was discouraged. What preserved Cornish as a distinct genetic group in England, while much of the rest homogenised into a single genetic cluster, is lack of domestic migration during the Industrial Revolution – no one was moving to Cornwall in the early modern period.

In 1980, 35% of new U.S. cars had manual transmissions; by 2026 that share is projected to drop to 0.9%, according to EPA and independent analyses. The decline accelerated after a brief 2023 uptick proved unsustainable, with major brands like Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz, and Mini eliminating manuals entirely.

Automatics are stronger and efficiency gains have made them comparable to manuals
And they are better for daily commuting use.
Part of it’s the tail wagging the dog. Most of it is people don’t like manuals.
For a daily or something regularly driven in traffic I don’t disagree.
Although I find the 10 speed on my wife’s Acura MDX to be a bit ridiculous. It’s smooth enough if you don’t drive it aggressively, but it just does the never ending shift thing.
In 1900 90% (+) of cars were horse drawn. There are valid critiques of technological changes in many areas, improved automatic transmissions reducing the value of the skill of driving a manual is not one of them.
honestly in the past I did not know that car was in fact used for a carriage and was surprised when reading from a 1870s book we hired a car and was like what and then they mentioned the quality of the horse and I was like what
I’m hoping Mr Free is merely busy with important stuff.
He’s having a spot of trouble getting back out of the looking glass.
Drivers increasingly prioritize convenience over engagement, with congested commutes and SUV dominance favoring automatics. Manuals are now concentrated in performance-oriented models like the Mazda MX-5 and Toyota GR Corolla, appealing to enthusiasts rather than everyday buyers. The generational skills gap—only 39% of Gen Z can drive stick—reinforces the cycle of declining demand and reduced availability
How do you expect me text and shift at the same time?
I routinely ate a bowl of cereal while I drove my one ton suburban with a four speed and 38” tires to class.
Still wish I had had enough money to swap in a TH400 at the time.
Automatics are stronger and efficiency gains have made them comparable to manuals
I haven’t even ridden in a car with an automatic for years.
Back when I drove rental cars it drove me fucking bananas having the car incessantly hunting up and down between gears. They upshift until you’re driving at idle, and then any throttle change sets off a search of the “right” gear, usually accompanied by several seconds of freewheeling while it contemplates its next move. Fuck that.
And- nobody needs eight gears to go to the grocery store.
The EPA and CAFE need as many gears as possible. Or a CVT.
Back when I had my Jaguar XJ6 I constantly fantasized about how awesome it would be with a manual transmission.
