One disadvantage to being a retailer in the Gulch is that when driving around the village, you can’t be rude to anyone– they’ll all know who you are and word travels fast. I’ve been having an ongoing issue with constantly being stuck behind someone in my neighborhood who drives a BMW at a minimum of 15 under the limit. Yes, in a 30mph village, he goes 15. On every fucking street. In the town where the limit is 35, he speeds up to almost 20. Not quite that fast, mind you, I mean, let’s not get crazy. A nice, calm 18 or so. Nowhere to pass, you just have to wait it out. I didn’t recognize the car to associate it with someone I’d know, but I could see that the driver was an elderly (even by my standards) male.
So a small group comes into the café the other day. I knew all but one of them- and that was the BMW driver. One of the group waves me down and says, “Hey, I want you to meet someone…” and introduces us. And yes, that WAS his name. It was all I could do to resist saying, “…and by ‘drive slow’ mean RAPE.”
And that can result in birthdays, and today those include a guy who parlayed his stunningly good looks into a movie career; a guy who shot at the king and killed him; a rather mixed bag on the Supreme Court; a woman who was of two minds about many things; Sloopy’s spirit animal; the only true Batman (and according to SP, a delightful and witty guy); a guy who was everyone’s uncle; a woman who inspired Spud’s favorite joke; a chef with some, ummm, novel recipes; and apparently the leading racist in the Senate.
And I am the leading racist on Glibs and these Links are evidence.
Don’t see how this will pass court muster.
OK, it’s ours now. Presumably a punishment posting.
A small step, but in the right direction.
Make Minnesota the 11th province.
Are we sure those aren’t bath salts?
Prime and I have tickets to see Matt Lorenz next week. Last time I saw him was 10 years ago in a little café in Wisconsin that SP and I habituated. It was one of the best shows I’ve ever seen- so this is almost like coming full circle. This here is Matt playing it almost straight (no Tuvan throat-singing), with an amazingly touching chorus backing him up and an ending sequence which somehow kicked up dust in the room. Or maybe it was the onions I had been cutting.
It is a common name.
Common? I only know of you and a rapper who have it.
I was thinking I’ve never met anyone named “It”.
I have this cousin I could introduce you to…
He went by “Tim Curry” outside of it. (But not at Indian restaurants.)
That’s one of the names that the Knights of Ni cannot hear.
Well, Old Man, I wish you and Slow Smith a good day. I have to hit the road, hopefully I won’t see traffic of that sort.
I’m guessing that means that during Reconstruction and before the 17th Amendment, there were other black Senators from the South. You know, when the Republicans were in charge down there.
“Love allegedly maintained in-person relationships with many of the women while using a slew of social media accounts to reinforce his manufactured image. The digital cover story was deep enough to trick AI tools and Google search results into identifying Love as a legitimate NFL player.”
Impressive.
“A Missouri prosecutor took his own life inside a county courthouse, forcing investigators to seal the building.”
Local news just said he was under an undisclosed criminal investigation at the time. God knows for what but I can venture a few guesses.
“The board of Hennepin County in Minnesota, home to Minneapolis, approved $2 million in funding for local businesses impacted by Operation Metro Surge — a large-scale immigration enforcement operation in Minnesota launched in December 2025. The county received roughly 300 applications and ultimately distributed about $500,000 to 82 applicants, while more than 200 applications were flagged for potential fraud, according to local reports.”
How were they impacted?
I didn’t think it was possible for any state to out-leftist NY, CA, or IL especially when it comes to the sheltering of illegal aliens but MN might have a case.
Toss in the freezing weather and it’s like a little Soviet Union.
I could see a referendum to join Canada passing in MN. I think there’s a deal to be made.
Do we get Alberta as a trade?
Ding Ding Ding!
Could someone help me out here, please? In the top photo at the link, to which currently-active Hollywood actress does she have an uncanny resemblance? (I don’t go to many movies.)
Judy Garland? She’s active.
Oh. That’s Frances Farmer’s lookalike.
No. I’m thinking of a blonde, later 20th/maybe early 21st century.
I’m probably thinking of Jessica Lange, who portrayed her in a biopic.
I’m of one mind about Jessica Lange.
Did they do that thing they do only in 2A cases, where they say “This Constitutional right extends to everybody, and this law violates it, but the only people our ruling applies to are the three guys who brought the case. They can buy guns across state lines, because the Constitution says the government can’t stop that, but nobody else can.”
I’m guessing ammonia salts taste terrible. So I doubt he was chewing them.

The Mirror is a trash rag so don’t take them seriously.
a rather mixed bag on the Supreme Court
So the majority of the entire roster of justices since 1789?
“Its taken over 200 years, but we finally have the judicial tyranny the Founders intended!”
I’d give Gorsuch a 90%.
It should. If the 1A says nobody from “the press” can be banned from the White House, that they will have to admit thousands, tens of thousands, maybe more, people to the White House. I guess pretty much on demand.
But the courts will block it, using reasoning that is utterly specious.
My thinking too. What is this magical class of “press” who get special rights? The occupant should be able to ban anyone he wants from his residence.
Absolutely.
Even if they can come up some kind of definition of who belongs to special class*, that just means every single member of the press has a Constitutional right to walk into the White House whenever they want. Unless they further define a further extra-special subclass of the special class.
*Of course, the Constitution does not use the term to denote a class of people, but an activity that can be engaged in by anyone.
“Based at the UCLA School of Law, Williams provides training to judges, law clerks and state judicial educators with a singular message: Children who suffer gender dysphoria and whose parents refuse to affirm it will kill themselves.
The institute’s director of judicial education claims he’s trained “over 7,000 judges, court staff and related court professionals from virtually every state on sexual orientation and gender identity issues for over 15 years.”
The Trevor Project, likewise, boasts that it has trained over 100,000 youth-serving professionals with the message that “gender-affirming care” for children and youth is “life-saving.”
On behalf of the largest organization of juvenile and family court judges in the nation, the National LGBTQ+ Bar Association developed training that approvingly discusses social and medical “transition” procedures, and informs judges that trans youth are often “unsafe” at school and in the community….”

The other day I came across a word for “rule by unelected judges”… let’s see… ah, “kritarchy“.
So yeah, it’s not just “training” – it’s judges deciding they can flout the law themselves.
This new era of low level judges deciding what the entire government will do is wild.
The US never really established what the judiciary can do. We jist kinda let it evolve. This “separation of powers” struggle for power has never really been joined against the courts. Roosevelt threatened them into submission. Maybe a few other shuffles.
But for some reason we never sat down and defined their role and structure. They get to be the sole arbiter of “this is constitutional and that isnt” because they chose to take that power. (Which paradoxically seems to have freed the other two branches from their obligation to make sure their actions are constitutional)
You would think we would want to reign in the power of this unelected, lifetime appointment bureaucracy we call the judiciary. They just decided that they are above the law and get absolute immunity. And everyone said “OK”. They gifted their buddies in the prosecutors office near absolute immunity. Also without any statutory basis.
“A nation of laws, not men”
Except for the one place where the law is supposedly supreme. No, in that place, the law is malleable and basically means anything I want it to mean.
We are kinda stupid.
We had the argument over the bill of rights. Several founders argued that writing them down would make people think those are the only rights… despite the enumerated powers and the 9th and 10th amendment marking it out explicitly. And out history has proved it out. Even if you write it down in black and white, they will still violate those rights and claim powers not granted.
Eh… long way to go to say “Pogo was right”
cyto:
We’re trying here in Ohio. Any other states have people taking similar actions?
Honest question, I’ve not heard of any other organized pushes to remove qualified immunity.
Which is a demonstrable lie.
Now show us the “science” this based on.
P. S. There is none.
I never saw that show but to me he will always be Steel.

‘My fear was too great’: the Pussy Riot member recruited by Russian spies to inform on fellow activists
Exclusive: In her first media interview since fleeing Russia, Rita Flores describes her three years of being run by the FSB

Haven’t read yet. I’m guessing “fear was too great” means ‘it stopped being convenient’ or similar. Some group members really love snitching on The Unpure.
“She saw the senior officer only occasionally, a crude man in his late forties who introduced himself by a series of different names. In the end, Flores began calling him “the Jacket”, based on the shiny black suit he liked to wear.”
Woah. The Jacket has expanded his power into colder climes. (Rita Flores is hot.)

“Don’t see how this will pass court muster.”
The Trump admin specializes in proclamations the base can pleasure themselves to while knowing it’ll be nullified in the courts. It a tactic that allows them to do something while doing nothing.
Yeah, file this one under “slow news day”. He didnt even do anything. He just said it.
What I do find wild is that other administrations didnt say it, they just did it, and the courts were fine with that.
Heck, just a cursory pass at it shows how silly it is. Clinton never deigned to allow Rush Limbaugh on the grounds or take questions from him, despite his being the largest radio network in history with some 15 to 20 million listeners. (For comparison, PBS News Hour had roughly half a million viewers on a typical night, but they were front and center at the White House).
And one could make the case that Limbaugh was more “fair and balanced” than any of today’s news outlets. I mean, he would tell you straight out not to believe him and to verify anything he said. Yet his ideological vitriol was largely accurate, if unbelievably biased.
Meanwhile, the entire news media conspired to impeach Trump on a platform of lies, and then conspired to protect Biden despite ironclad proof that he was taking bribes via his son.
But sure, lets pretend that CNN isnt a propaganda machine and clutch our pearls if Trump calls them out.
The courts never cease to amaze me with their mental gymnastics.
The right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed doesnt stop the government from banning interstate sales, banning various types of arms, regulating when, where and how you bear arms, who can make arms, who can sell arms….
But!….
The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people
And
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people
Doesn’t mean the government cant ban you from growing wheat on your own property for your own consumption. Heck, according to Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan, it means the government can order you to buy anything it decides… including broccoli.
But “shall not be infringed” is really flexible and means “can be almost completely infringed”.
It is enough to drive you nuts.
You sound like one of those libertarians.

“An elderly Walmart customer was beaten to death by the parents of a teen employee who he had argued with after accusing her of nearly ramming his wife with a shopping cart, according to his grieving widow….
The 77-year-old was grocery shopping with his wife of 42 years after a morning at church when a 17-year-old employee tore down the aisle the couple was in, almost clipping Josephine with a cart….
Atienza and the unidentified employee argued for a moment before the worker chucked a can towards the couple as they walked away, she said.
The teen allegedly called her parents for backup and Travis White and Erika Mitchell were hunting down the elderly couple inside the store minutes later….
White, 44, and Mitchell, 42, were arrested days later and charged with malicious wounding by mob, aggravated malicious wounding and conspiracy to commit a felony, WAVY reported.
The charges were later increased to second-degree murder, according to court records viewed by The Post.
Their attorney contested the charges, saying the suspected killers were defending their daughter and the alleged assault was not premeditated.
“They did not go there, intending for any of this to happen. It was an emotional situation. Their daughter called them. She was distraught. They went, as any parent would do, to try to make sure that their daughter was safe and then the situation kind of erupted. It was spontaneous almost,” James Broccoletti told WTKR….
Their teen daughter, who no longer works for Walmart, was charged with assault and battery, aggravated malicious wounding and conspiracy to commit a felony, WAVY reported.”
https://nypost.com/2026/09/19/us-news/walmart-customer-bert-atienza-killed-after-teen-employee-parents-attack-him-over-cart-dispute/
As any parent would do?
Look, dont you dare admonished my kids for pushing a cart carelessly.
…….
Completely separate take “almost hit my wife with a shopping cart” is the most ridiculous thing ever. It is a 4 wheel dolly with plastic baskets on it. Unless she shoved it 20 feet ahead of her down the aisle, I have a hard time seeing where this is even a thing… yet every story about this repeats the triggering issue as if he was completely in the right for berating a kid doing her job as a shopper.
Even his family described him as someone who would really bark at you and let you know what he thinks.
………
Third separate thought
Walmart cant train that sort of thing out of people. If you live in a culture where bringing over the family to get in a physical fight over a perceived slight, no amount of “customer service” training is going to get the desired “sorry sir” and move on response.
My daughter works at Chik-fil-a. They mostly staff kids. The kids are of all races and ethnicity. But they are also from a good neighborhood and are mostly church kids. So guess what? The customer service is fantastic. And they are all polite, even to unreasonable people.
They dont just train for this… they interview for it. They ask about hypothetical scenarios.
Walmart apparently doesnt have that luxury with their volume. “My” Walmart is in a bad area, and the employees can be rather rough. Still, I would say they are quite a cut above the pool they are choosing from, judging by the store clientele.
Completely separate take “almost hit my wife with a shopping cart” is the most ridiculous thing ever. It is a 4 wheel dolly with plastic baskets on it. Unless she shoved it 20 feet ahead of her down the aisle, I have a hard time seeing where this is even a thing… yet every story about this repeats the triggering issue as if he was completely in the right for berating a kid doing her job as a shopper.
Was it a shopping cart or one of the larger carts staff use to move cases of merch around? I could see the latter being harder to see around, but regardless the store’s employees should be careful and aware of people around them.
I have a good separate thought: don’t beat old people to death or young people either now that I think about it.
Does this actually seem unlikely?
From the video clips it looks like she was a shopper and it was one of those blue shopper carts, not a big pallet of merchandise.
I’m not excusing her… just off on a tangent about how the press covers things. The breadcrumbs are there in the story if yoj read between the lines… but they couch their language so there is a villain and an innocent victim.
An honest writing might have left the conflict more real – which would serve us better. (Although I wasnt really thinking that far ahead). Based on the reported facts, I suspect we have a cranky old man who over-reacted to a perceived slight and a crazy teen who refused to allow any “disrespect” (who throws cans at a customer, regardless of what they say) and a family who thinks violence is the only response to any insult. A deadly cocktail of stupid.
It is like giving every cop a gun and minimal training in SWAT tactics that have been distilled down to “shoot the dog”. You end up with a lot of dead dogs for no good reason.
Best if we report accurately so people can see that the problem isnt an epidemic of vicious dogs.
“Even his family described him as someone who would really bark at you and let you know what he thinks.”
That’s not a capital offense subject to extrajudicial execution, however.
My first thought on this story is “use your street smarts”. I have a strong feeling that guy could have saved his life that way.
Ya know, spontaneously beating someone to death is pretty much the definition of second degree murder. Not sure what their lawyer is trying to accomplish here.
Cyto, getting hit by a grocery cart being pushed rapidly can be no joke, especially if you are elderly and getting frail. Even the plastic ones have metal frames down at ankle level that can fucking hurt (ask me how I know). They had every right to tell the kid to watch what she was doing. That’s not “doing her job as a shopper”, any more than an a UPS driver running red lights is doing his job.
Clancy jury article:
which brought nationwide attention to systemic gaps in maternal mental health care
Um, no it didn’t. It brought nationwide attention to the fact that a substantial fraction of our fellow citizens are just bat-shit fucking nutballs. 99.999% of women manage to not viciously murder their children despite their hormones and uncertainty about the future. The fact that one evil bitch didn’t manage that basic human functionality, doesn’t say anything about imaginary ‘systemic gaps’ you fraudulent fuck-nuts. But Guardian on.
Nate the Lawyer and several other “lawtube” lawyers watched the trial and the consensus seemed to be that she was going to be not guilty by reason of insanity.
But now that the jury has spoken, their consensus seems to have shifted somewhat. He just put out a video where he makes the case that there was a group of women on the jury who became activists and who saw their job as “starting a discussion on post partum mental health”.
Many of them actually said as much. They also bought the defense line of “look past her crime and find justice for Lindsay”. Not the 3 kids. Lindsay.
And they all said exactly that. They call her Lindsay. They say they wanted to send a message and see that she gets the “help she deserves”.
It was a masterclass in lawyering and changing the question.
That is why they were so frustrated that the holdout couldnt “get past the fact that she brutally killed her 3 children”.
Worth a watch.
“A pack of sick frat brothers at Cornell University drugged a 20-year-old student with ketamine and gang-raped her — texting there was “free p—y’’ as she lay unconscious, a shocking new lawsuit claims.
Seven members of the Chi Phi fraternity at the prestigious Ivy League campus in upstate New York are now being sued by the anonymous student, who was “commanded” by one of them to snort the drug off of his erect genitalia as she was helplessly sexually attacked by others in October 2024, according to the Manhattan Supreme Court filing….
After a night of bar-hopping, the young woman met up with one of the defendants at a Tudor-style frathouse mansion, her suit says….
After the sickening text went out, frat members began pouring lines of ketamine all over the woman’s body and snorting them, court documents say.
One of them poured a line of the powder “onto his erect penis and commanded that Plaintiff snort it, which she did.” the suit alleges….
The attack was reported to both campus and Ithaca police about a week later, and the fraternity and seven accused students were placed on temporary suspensions, the lawsuit said….
The school declined to comment to The Post on the lawsuit or if the accused men submitted any essays about the alleged attack and if they faced any other disciplinary actions.
A criminal investigation into the accusations did not result in charges being brought against the seven men, the Tompkins County District Attorney’s office told The Post, declining further comment.”

You would think they would be expelled.
It’s awful, but you start from a presumption of innocence.
That’s a court of law, not how colleges do it.
Only if they were not lacrosse players.
Based on my limited experience with K (and gangbangs)…I have questions.
Go on…
Look, the guys’ hormones just made them all temporarily insane.
As I read your description, I became increasingly skeptical. The summary version has the feel of the fanciful stories of the last generation.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Surely, she went to the ER and got the rape kit and blood tox tests done right away, and they showed evidence of trauma and ketamine. Right?
Right?
Also of interest:
I wonder why not?

“The Week In Pictures: Sydney Sweeney Goes AI Edition”
https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2026/09/the-week-in-pictures-groundhog-day-edition-5.php
Black pill line of thinking:
The AI bubble bursts in October. The market declines by 30%+. The DSA says “See?” and panicked voters elect them in a rout, triggering a wave of the same across the West.
Entirely plausible.
We indeed have a bunch of partisan idiots who would gladly wreck the economy yo seize power for their team – despite all the evidence available that the destroying and seizing will serve not the establishment, but the communists who have designs on overthrowing the government.
These “democrat socialists” are like computer hackers. They have found a weakness in the nation’s operating system and they are exploiting it.
What’s the weakness? Democracy itself? It’s been known since the very earliest days of democracy that people would inevitably vote themselves free shit.
By “weakness”, do you mean “democracy”?
Infiltrating and taking over the Democratic Party was a fucking stroke of genius.
I’m surprised it took them this long.
The weakness is the idea that the government can do anything they want, as long as they have some kind of process they can use to justify it.
Much more than “democracy”
There are layers.
If you want to boil it down to the base, I suppose the exploit is greed and laziness.
Partisans are greedy for power. That is their motive. So they gladly destroy the 4th estate so their propaganda can be more effective.
They are too lazy to vet people beyond “are you on my team?”
So we have slowly progressed from “socialist professors on college campuses” to “socialist teachers in public schools and socialist journalists and editors in every newsroom” to “all propaganda, all the time, everywhere”
One “team player” Judge can swing an entire state.
And we are too lazy to stop them. And they are too greedy for power to realize that they are happily handing their keys to a drunk, blind kid to drive them home in their Hellcat.
I’ve spent probably the last 15 years now arguing with increasing frequency that the NFL has made their rules ridiculously convoluted. As a child I don’t recall having that much trouble keeping track of what the rules were. Occasionally there’d be a bad call and some controversy, but nothing like the weekly shit show we have now. It got to the point where the rules had become so cumbersome and changed so frequently with different “points of emphasis” at various times where rules were enforced in ways that may even run counter to the actual text of the rules that we have as mere fans that I had to believe it was done intentionally.
This last week the NFL cited a rule that most people had never heard of regarding a forward pass and a fumble. A play that resembled one from the AFC championship game that wiped a TD for NE off the board.
Highly similar play, no mention of an obscure rule that few if any people could claim to have heard of and which hasn’t been applied in years. They cite it in week 1 like of course this is the rule, but call the exact opposite in the far more important game with no replay (which itself, much like a government policy, law or regulation has become the very thing they promised it never would be – frame by frame analysis to micromanage the results and calls on the field itself).
Much like when the subject of election cheating comes up, some people will refuse to see what’s kind of right in front of their faces. I don’t believe you can outright rig or script a sport as complicated as football. I do think that the league can put its thumbs on the scales and that a ridiculously complex rulebook where they can literally change the rules and “points of emphasis” in ways that run counter to the written rules we have as fans serve that purpose very well.
It’s all an arbitrary mess and has been for years. It does nothing but generate controversy. Yet there’s never even been the slightest attempt to simplify things for the 60 year old men trying to keep up with top class athletes on the field who have to make split second decisions that change the outcomes of the games.
Simply put, the more judgement calls and the more complexity, the more ambiguity, the better in the eyes of the NFL.
I have only been watching semi-regularly in the last couple years and I just expect every play to be flagged with around a 50/50 chance of the play being overturned. It’s wearying.
The obscure rule cited is also jist flat wrong.
That “rule” is about intentional grounding. If you try to throw the ball forward and fail, it isnt intentional grounding.
That simple
It doesnt mean that if I intend to throw a forward pass to a tight end and accidentally throw a lateral it isnt a live ball.
That is dumb.
Yet that is what they are arguing.
They started down this path years ago by focusing instant replay on the minutia of the pass/fumble question.
Somewhere along the way they forgot to do step 1 – did the ball go forward? If not, it is a fumble regardless of what the hand was doing. Because if it was a pass and not a fumble, but the pass went lateral or backwards…. it is a live ball.
This is a classic “forest for the trees” moment.
Dude, turn that wall of text into an article.

“The federal government’s abject failure to create any form of meaningful AI oversight or accountability should alarm every American, especially when AI CEOs themselves are begging for regulation,” Newsom said in a statement Friday.
