While on vacation, I got several frantic texts from the kennel. Apparently my dogs kept jumping the interior perimeter fence around their pen (a six foot chain link). OK, they had a few dogs in the past manage that, but were contained by an outer wall, a smooth solid 8 foot fence. Not mine. Right over the eight footer. So after chasing them down and recapturing, they put a cover over their pen. And hour later, the dogs managed to push off the cover, leap out, and go for a nice run on their own. I’m thinking that there has to be some way to monetize this preternatural ability.
Let’s see who was born on this day: a fishing guy; a guy who has your number; a guy who was quite aromatic and neglected overlap; a guy who taught me everything I know; one of the stars of the dullest movie ever made; the only Mustache to ever rival P Brooks; a guy notorious for sinking ships; and a no-talent but big-named piece of shit holding a microphone because he’s not good enough for even a bit part in a Mafia film.
Question becomes, are these good enough for Links? The bar is low.
We’re just recycling news these days.
Will the darkies go for a midget Jew-hater?
Clearly the NYC cops are in need of re-education camp.
Remember when they all lined up in support of Jussie Smollett? Good times.
Problematic! “Should it be allowed to exist?” is peak elitism.
I’m having trouble dredging up any sympathy.
Now my advice for those who die, declare the pennies on your eyes.
If you don’t think that 69 Love Songs was one of the greatest albums ever made, you’re a nekulturni peasant. And this song proves it.

A Michigan Education Survey also showed El-Sayed struggling with Black voters. Stevens notched 69 percent from the bloc; El-Sayed garnered 37 percent support.
Out of a possible 106% of black voters?
Makes sense, it’s a Democrat primary election after all.
math is racist
Tricknology makes it possible.
a guy who has your number
Happy birthday Nipsey Russell!
Not if the county map I saw was any indication. That guy’s base is rich white people.
There are a few El-Sayed signs around me. Almost certainly white, and good chance they don’t lack money.
Depends on whether they hate Jews or Arabs more. There’s a long tradition of both in the Darkie-American community.
Now I want one! ::goes off to search for their website, hoping it includes an online store::
That must be the NYT article? That could also have been labeled “beyond parody”.
Yup. That which is “problematic.”
Now I want a t-shirt that says “Problematic.”
Now I want one that says “That Which is Problematic!”
They closed the theme park.
Sadly it on the other side of the country and I didn’t hear about it because mad I bet some of the stuff would be cool to have.
I met that guy at my favorite East Village bar a few times. I haven’t listened to the album in forever. Good stuff.
SugarFree’s comment was, “Why haven’t more people covered this song?”
Despite being The Magnetic Fields, they just aren’t attracted to it.
Repelled ?
Not in any Rush.
The RBG article has a logic so twisted it almost comes around to making sense. If you take equality to mean competing in the same arena letting men into women’s sports is equality. It’s stupid and anti-woman, but it is equal.
Which is fine in theory, but that’s not what the trans-athlete thing is about.
Stop pretending that men can change themselves into women by saying magic words. Which is what the whole trans-athlete thing boils down to.
I am happy they have chosen to go all in on this part. It’s the one formulation of the idiot radical egalitarian nonsense that is crazy enough that it seems to be waking up the idiots.
This may be of interest.
Hear, hear.
I listened to this yesterday https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwDZVMfTFcw which is a debate between a pro-trans doctor, and an anti-trans feminist. And the whole thing boils down to “I know it when I see it” on the pro trans side. Which is just anti-science BS.
A compromise is 1/2 way between 2 bad ideas.
Good ideas stand alone.
Yeah it only makes sense if you completely deny reality and pretend that men and women are exactly the same.
Which is why you cannot have a rational discussion with the left on this or many other topics – because they live in a different reality from the rest of the world.
That’s the great thing about transism – it simultaneously holds that different genders are profoundly different, and that they are completely plastic and ultimately interchangeable.
It makes me wonder what the difference is between “Can hold two contradictory ideas in mind at the same time” and “Believes incoherent gibberish”.
It almost makes me believe that “trans” isn’t even the point of any of this, but rather the point is to beat you over the head with some ridiculous nonsense – doesn’t matter what it is – until you agree with it, then cheer it on.
They’re the same in every way except abortion, which men are not allowed to have any input.
It’s Schröedinger’s gender.
Chafed:
Both powerful, strong, and independent, but needing to be protected from bad words, male gazes, and objectification.
See also skin color. If you ask any trans activist whether the same set of assumptions would also apply to racial aspects such as believing you are black, or any “person of color” and, no, it doesn’t work that way!
IE complete BS.

That’s just astonishing. The cops are frequently at odds with any mayor but not this openly. Now that the ACAB set has taken over the Party I guess we’ll see more of it.
They know were their bread is buttered, and it ain’t on the left.
A load of idiotic blather in that Slate article. Solution: Ban gendered sports. There’s only one baseball team, and men, women, and anything in between can try out. If a woman can pitch, hit, or field well enough, she gets a roster spot. If there’s a woman who can block Miles Garrett, any team would be silly not to give her a spot on the offensive line.
Are there any “men’s” sports that actually, explicitly, ban women from participating?
Not to my knowledge. Manon Rheaume was briefly a member of the Tampa Bay Lightning in the NHL, though she never made it into a game in the regular season.
Quotas, Man, we need quotas. Otherwise based on merit is only going to lead to discrimination
Pretty much the solution they used for bathrooms around here. There used to be 2 bathrooms in most establishments. Now there is only one for all 54 genders to use next to another locked and unmarked door never to be cleaned again.
Eliminate tax funded games.
Problem solved.
Sports and school do not mix.
Can’t read the whole NYT story about the estate tax – but get all the way out of blue state hell when you retire. Sell it all and leave town.
That’s good advice.
$13 million buys a lot of guns and ammo.
I wish I could track it down again, but I read an interesting theory that the reason you can find stories of, essentially, the boogeyman, orcs, etc. in every culture is because Neanderthals weren’t the sort of mildly brutish proto-humans that are often pictured. They were big, unbelievably strong, much more gorilla-like (covered in hair, etc.) and nearly drove humans to extinction by killing and eating them – the famous genetic bottleneck for Homo Sapiens tracks with the expansion of Neanderthals. The amazing and unlikely thing is that humans came back from near-extinction to eliminate their bigger, stronger, and previously more successful competitors.
So, under this theory, any hybridizing was almost certainly the result of human women being raped by Neanderthals.
I’ve read it too. Maybe.
Evidence keeps piling up that humans continued evolving well after they left Africa. Calling the ones ones who initially left “modern humans” is an attempt to keep the “out of Africa” narrative going.
Neanderthals had larger brains as well. Look at the modern human populations with the most Neanderthal dna and map that over the distribution of IQ.
Just sayn.
So, under this theory, any hybridizing was almost certainly the result of human women being raped by Neanderthals.
If modern human behavior is at all relevant, maybe the Neanderthal boyfriend was how ancient H sapiens chicks really pissed off their daddies.
Mostly kidding. Mostly. But human origins are fascinating, and it’s perhaps a good thing we only have genetic hints instead of historical records. I’d probably end up paying reparations because my Neanderthal ancestors didn’t share their genetic material with someone else’s ancestors. And by share genetic material…
Felching ?
Bone Tomahawk.
STEVE SMITH ‘MAGINE WHAT FIRST CONTACT LOOK LIKE!
AND BY ‘MAGINE, MEAN RAPE!
Plenty of evidence of Neanderthal canabilism from skeletons as well.
Neanderthal gotta eat!

I’m spending this weekend in Brașov. My first time in Romania. The city is very impressive. Built be Saxons (Germans). But it also has the first Romanian school in the country and the first letter in Romanian was discovered here. Back then Romanians used the Cyrillic script.
Hi, Griz, long time no see!
Hey there!
Pie has convinced me that I need to get there, sooner rather than later.
I’m sure there are other good cities in Romania to visit but I’m enjoying the temperatures in the 70s here rather than above 100F in Budapest.
Sounds delightful. How much time are you spending in Brasov?
Just two days.
Well Pest does mean oven in Hungarian.
The left is not going to give up on pushing trannies everywhere because if they did, they would have nothing else to talk about and then their base would drop away like flies.
Nothing else to talk about? Did you know what DRUMPF is up to?!!?

So, on one hand there is “natural physics” which apparently means that black people’s votes naturally belong to the Democrat party, yet OTOH he admits that black people actually have agency and want to be pandered to just like any other constituency.
So, lie during the campaign to get elected and then anhilate them.

Ever see a water cooler? Think the jugs on the top of one of them.
Guess any solid object is a “dangerous instrument”
CT:
A pint of water is a pound, there are 8 pints in a gallon. I would call a 40 pound bludgeon a dangerous instrument.

Well, we had to be sure that the water bottle wasn’t concealed.

Saw that. Figured a legit lynch would get more news, then I realized: she probably hanged herself.
Hope so, sadly, cuz that is still very sad.

Historic parallels
President Trump is confronting a question that has haunted presidents throughout history: how a war — one that has gone on longer than predicted — can reshape a presidency.
Behind the scenes and in public remarks, Trump has acknowledged seeking an agreement to end the Iran war in hopes of escaping comparisons to former President Herbert Hoover, the Republican whose name became synonymous with economic collapse after the Great Depression.
——-
Trump, born in 1946, grew up during a time when Hoover served as a cautionary example of what not to do during difficult economic times.
Hoover stuck to his Republican principles that the government shouldn’t meddle in the economy — a decision many saw as one of the worst political mistakes of the 20th century.
Sure. If you squint real hard…
Ha ha ha. I mean, technically this is a war, but not really. We are half-assing it because we don’t want to put boots on the ground in Iran.
Ruination
These disputes illustrate a clear and present danger to academic freedom and institutional autonomy, as colleges and universities fight to retain control over the attributes that have made them internationally preeminent, including faculty hiring, research, curriculum and selection of undergraduate and graduate students.
PEN America notes that 2025 was a “year of catastrophe” for higher education. The Trump administration froze billions of dollars in research funding, pressured universities to dismantle diversity, equity and inclusion programs, revoked at least 8000 international student visas, threatened universities’ tax-exempt status, and gutted the Department of Education. Red-state legislatures passed a spate of educational gag orders, restricting classroom discussion of race, gender and other supposedly divisive topics.
Those “supposedly divisive topics” which have done far more to undermine the prestige of American scholarship than anything Trumpolini might have done.

Tucker Kraft need to stay with the Packers.
Department of Education draft regulations compel accreditors to police institutional policies on ideological diversity, free speech, civil rights, and research misconduct. New rules requiring colleges and universities to demonstrate their graduates earn more than workers with only a high school diploma pose existential risks to many arts and humanities programs. And a few weeks ago, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy proposed shifting science research funds from universities to individual researchers, a move that would overturn the post-World War II partnership between government and higher education directly responsible for building American preeminence in science and technology.
And the walls came tumbling down.

So if I understand correctly, RBG’s legacy is banning discrimination on the basis of sex. Sex and gender are different. Except when we should treat them as the same thing.
RBG’s legacy is Girlbosses. That and lots and lots of bullshit lawsuits that empowered HR departments everywhere.
And she kinda ‘hated’ Roe v Wade, or thought it was the wrong case to use for abortion, as it pushed for ‘privacy’ rather than ‘equality.’ And now Mass.+ is going for any-term abortions, so any sense of ‘consistency’, as expected, is consistently and purposefully denied.
Obviously, the entire ploy is to give more power to women by giving them total reins over both the abortion decision and the perpetual fallback of Make Man Pay for Everything. It’s predictably pernicious.
“Safe, legal, rare.” –> CELEBRATE aborting anything for any reason, cuz why not? ($+Power.) And I don’t even really care about abortion too much. ~First trimester? Okay? Shouldn’t be celebrated or encouraged, but I’m not broken-hearted. Just stop the evil subjugation of men who have no say outside their forced wallets.
It seems as if there’s still something wonky with the site, as the IFLA post looked to be properly scheduled but now says “Missed schedule.” Thanks, WordPress! 🙄
The stars and planets foresaw this would happen.
Self-correction
As the researchers note, higher education accelerates this divide. Women now earn 58 percent of all bachelor’s degrees, and university campuses tilt heavily toward progressive politics. This extended academic timeline delays marriage, trading early family formation for career building. The campus functions as an ideological funnel, leaving the highest-scoring students on standardized tests with the lowest reproductive rates. Academics have engineered a bizarre biological paradox: the most credentialed segment of society is choosing genetic extinction, leaving the future to the children of subcultures that skip the university pipeline entirely.
Progressivism is a suicide cult. Our best and brightest, indeed.
Universities do not have what plants crave.
Progressive philosophies face no dramatic defeat at the ballot box. They require no cancelation by rivals and no losses in public debate. They are simply running out of citizens. A political movement that fails to reproduce automatically surrenders its institutional real estate to the descendants of the people who fill church pews instead of university lecture halls.
