The Astros are back in first, baby (compliments of the tiebreaker). Still a game below .500 though. Five games to go and four of them against the A’s. Let’s see how it plays out. The White Sox and Indians are all but across the finish line and n the playoffs. Let’s see who wins the division and who gets the WC. The Rays, with a payroll lower than the Yankees outfield (probably) won the AL East. And I don’t really know what else is going on in the sports world, so I’m gonna move on to other things.
I’m shocked! Just kidding. I’ll be legit shocked if the number isn’t 10x this amount though.
I’m shocked again! Who am I kidding? Of course I’m not shocked.
First Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben, and now this? The bovine erasure has begun!
Why did I think he’d already been sentenced? And what the hell does it take so long for cases to finish up in New York?
This is peculiar timing. I wonder how they’ll try to use this to ban the AfD.
You gotta be shitting me. I have no words.
This is about to open some wounds. If what’s being reported is true, some people are gonna be spending their lives in prison.
Sadly, the original Globe article is paywalled. This one doesn’t quite do it justice. But you can still see some of the insanity here. Definitely worth a chuckle.
You’re damn right, it depends on us. May as well tell those people trying to claim it to find another patsy. And hand it over to the US officially, while you’re at it.
Start saying goodbye to your beaches, Californians. Because your stupid state government will probably close them down, one by one, as these squatters take them over. I say deport them all to Mexico…or Liberia.
This starts off so solid. Just gets right down to business. So does this one. But in a different way. Both solid in their own way. Enjoy them both.
And enjoy this lovely Wednesday, dear friends.
” Vice President JD Vance and other Trump administration officials said Tuesday they plan to remove 760,000 Affordable Care Act enrollees from public healthcare exchanges, alleging that the individuals were fraudulently enrolled in the program, or simply do not exist.”
Is being enrolled in the ACA all that good in the first place?
How many of those 760K voted?
Probably 4-5 million.
Is being enrolled in the ACA all that good in the first place?
Being a provider who bills millions of dollars for fraudulent patients is good, I guess. Which is what this will end up being about.
When somebody else pays for it, how good does it need to be?
If you are “poor” you probably don’t pay much, if anything of a premium. If you’re a crooked medical provider, you probably have real patients that are poor and pay cash for your services, you then set them up under O-care and double bill and/or do the same with other cash customers under the same account(s).
You monsters!
Don’t you realize that your fixation on fraud is killing millions of vulnerable Minnesodans?
Why O Why Lord do you need to audit govt spending?
I pay $2,700 a month out of pocket for health insurance. Illegal aliens, who showed up 10 minutes ago and have put nothing into our system, get health care for free. Fraudsters set up fake companies and charge the government millions under the ACA for nonexistent people.
Chump Effect? I’m feeling it.
So drink that big red cow, and get out of here?
It’s probably some woke thing about the plight of the “immigrant farm workers” being hurt by OMB.
Weinstein had been already sentenced, and is still on trial, for other charges. Not saying he isn’t an asshole, but most of them sound like obvious bullshit.
They all sound like buyer’s remorse from hookers that traded sex for success then convinced themselves that their ‘talent’ would have made them stars without them putting out the effort.
You could have left “the effort” off the end and saved yourself some time.
Now now. How was Rose to know that when she went to Harvey’s house for a private meeting and they ended up naked in his hot tub that she was exchanging sex for acting gigs?
Shortly Temple and her mom knew about that in the thirties.
Ok, so this is round 2 of the “I felt sad later that I sold myself for work” trials.
Got it.
It is really interesting to see the Juries in these cases not buying every sob story.

“The woman’s grandfather gave police a statement, saying Thomas told him that she thought she was putting the baby in her crib for a nap, but she accidentally put her in the oven.”
Easy mistake anyone could make.
“However, because she pled guilty, prosecutors agreed to dismiss the murder charge. Instead, she pleaded guilty to one count of first-degree endangering the welfare of a child resulting in death. Jackson County Judge Sarah A. Castle sentenced her to 13 years in prison without probation, but she could serve less than 11 years after receiving credit for the time she’s been in custody since 2024.”
To be fair, that baby could have grown up and became a judge.
Should be 13 years in prison at 425’f.
Between this and the bad killing of Jews, we need to ban ovens. Its for the children!

I think they’re doing that.
My ex-wife once awoke to find me in the kitchen and extremely hypoglycemic. I was holding the fridge door open and I motioned at her with a smile on my face and told her “Go on, get in”. I think that I was planning to follow her, though.
I hope there would be enough room left for the food.
It’s interesting being hypoglycemic. Shoulders get weak, I get shaky, and my vision starts graying out. Thankfully I always have some syrup or sugar close at hand.

When you change the liturgy you piss off the devout. This is true whether you are ‘modernizing’ the mass or removing the masks.
Archive link about the bar making masks optional.
That article is even more hilarious than the link. They deserve what they get.

We literally called it the Roman Missal Crisis at my church.
LOL nice fakeout
That turtle cant be too endangered, not when it is spreading its habitat.
It’s a refugee!
Saw your new acquisition late yesterday. Congrats, I’m jealous. And thanks, I wasn’t aware that they would ship used firearms between stores. My wallet is not going to be happy. The used selection (and stores) locally has really dried up.
There is another one sitting at the Springfield location, in the gun room, if you are interested in one.
I’ll have to check it out! Didn’t catch it in their online inventory.
I would rather have infinity turtles than a single human beach squatter.
Well…maybe not infinity turtles. That would be a lot. But I’m generally okay with turtles.
It’s beach squatters all the way down.
Just wait until the blue ones start tearing up your garden.
Florida manages Sea Turtles without much disruption to people having fun on the beach quite well
I thought the nature shows always said something to the effect that turtles return to lay eggs at the beach where they were born?
Or is that just salmon or some other creature?
Salmon find new streams too.

What I’m reading here is that Greenfield, MA is basically an open-air insane asylum. And it’s not the only one.
Confirmed:
“The lesbian bar Last Ditch’s announcement that it plans to ban law enforcement from entry likely came in response to a police presence at the 10 Fiske Ave. bar for a drug possession investigation near Energy Park last Thursday, according to Police Chief Todd Dodge.
The bar publicized the decision on Facebook and Instagram Saturday night with a social media post matched with an illustration of a person throwing what appears to be a Molotov cocktail, with the caption “cops are not allowed at Last Ditch.” The post alleges there was a visit from law enforcement in which “nobody was hurt, arrested or ticketed.””

“The business’ door was locked when a reporter visited the venue in person to try to interview the owners early Tuesday evening, though open hours are listed on the business’ website as being from 4 to 6 p.m. and 7 to 10 p.m. on Tuesdays. ”
How do they even pay the bills?
I have owned two bars, refusing to admit police is kind of not a thing if you have a liquor license. Even in Massachusetts.
I mean…fuck cops but a valid warrant might say otherwise to that ban they imposed.
George Soros could not be reached for comment.
a valid warrant might say otherwise to that ban they imposed.
They do not need a warrant to enter licensed premises.
I’m trying to understand the profitability model for a bar where the patrons are required to wear masks.
I am pretty sure none of the people involved in this have even a passing understanding of profitability.
Depends on the kind of masks…
Gimp Bar?
What I’m reading here is that Greenfield, MA is basically an open-air insane asylum. And it’s not the only one.
It is Massachusetts. “Not the only one” is really going out on a limb.
One more reason I’m against business and alcohol licensure.
That story is almost beyond belief.
And yet, here we are.
People really are pathetic.
They could have saved money by having the “Grand Opening” and “Going Out of Business” on the same sign.
“Grand Re-Closing”
“Two days later, Last Ditch posted an apology. “We are sorry for our passive and dismissive tone of our change to the norms and schedule impacting the most intersectional of us,” management wrote on Instagram. “We understand everyone faces different intersections and we are always working to consider all needs fully.”
It’s a competition.
“Instead of defusing the situation, the apology seemed to make things worse. The bar had erred: it posted an Instagram card without providing alt-text for the visually impaired. This set off a fresh round of accusations of ableism.
“This is not an accessible post,” wrote one user. “It indicates the lack of care or interest in Disability intersectionality.””
How do you post in Braille?
They made an even bigger mistake – Never apologize.
It is a whole group of look-at-me! Cannot reason, understand, educate, converse in any known version of polite English, etc.

Because once you are in that world you burn all your bridges back out. It’s the same thing as a cult. The first thing you are asked to do is to cut ties with anyone who is outside the group. The rare humans who can operate entirely without support in the face of vicious hostility from everyone they previously thought was their friend tend not to end up in this type of situation in the first place.
Fair point, and another chip in my, ‘Progressivism is a death cult’ pot.
I’ve always been all too willing to cut ties with people, so I don’t often notice that reluctance in others.
It is well named. “Why are you taking me to this ditch?”
“It’s our Last Ditch”
“But by the time of Last Ditch’s monthly community meeting on September 11, only one of the original founders, Matellian, is still involved. The two others stepped back from the daily operation months before, Matellian says, citing various pressures and health issues. One had enrolled in clown school.”

Man, if they give credit for life experience she’s going to end up with a Doctorate.
It’s like the ridiculous clown show you see at a Food Co-Op, like the one in Brooklyn that was recently in the news.

““A lot of people are calling for an acknowledgment of harm and I’m hearing a WHITE therapist … center[ing] the feelings of a majority white and white adjacent staff,” writes Noire, who is Black.
Moreover, the Zoom attendees speculate that the mediator’s licensed status makes her a mandated reporter — an agent of the state, akin to police. One person going by “Moss” asks if the mediator could have them hospitalized against their will, adding that her presence is “wildly unsafe.””
No, but it sounds like a good idea.
“Of course Ms Noire is black”, said Ms Weiss to Ms Blanca
James Earl Jones line in Field of Dreams comes to mind: “you’re seeing a whole team of therapists, aren’t you?”
If Ms. Noire’s first name isn’t Bette, I’m going to be so disappointed in her parents.
Alas Noire’s name is a pseudonym, as “he” faces constant danger (none of which is imaginary or self-generated).
“Matellian tells the group her credit score is trashed. For six months, she lived in her truck because she was pouring money into the bar. She is working four different jobs. She is responsible for paying off the $50,000 loan the three took out to launch the business.”
Not the first time she was in the hole.
Last Ditch continues to take on more interesting meanings.
She is responsible for paying off the $50,000 loan
So you are a moron who didn’t form a LLC to start the restaurant?
I have an idiot friend who did the same thing. He was one of the investor/owners of a restaurant. He was the only one who didn’t form an LLC. When the place went bellyup the creditors were able to go after his personal assets.
I know the other co-owner went off to clown school, but this one really needs to don Joker facepaint and start saying “do I look like a dyke with a plan?”
“Noire spends the hours after the meeting posting furious Instagram stories about Matellian and Last Ditch. Matellian (who uses she/they pronouns) had been shedding “WHITE THEY THEM TEARS,” he writes. The bar was not “a safe environment nor interested in revolutionary praxis.”
This is like retard soup.
Yup. It’s a leftist antifa cell with a bar attached.
If you drink in a bar this woke do you have to prove ancestry before ordering a particular spirit? Is a tequila sunrise cultural appropriation unless you are Mexican?

Mexicans will eat them for Lent. No idea about Liberia, but at least they’ll learn English.
Is that barbed wire? So California protects sea turtle eggs more than copper wire?
Copper wire seems to have a short life expectancy in some places.
Canada (to be specific, the Canadian government) kills more people every year with MAID than there are homicides with guns in the US. Not only that, the per capita rate is more than 10X as many killings with MAID. 5% of all deaths in Canada are government killings.
Being shot sounds more humane. The series of drugs they use for MAID sounds horrifying.
It’s just the warm embrace of collectivism.
Glad I don’t fish Canada now, might not get out alive.
Seriously 4X20, if you sprain an ankle they might MAID you.
It’s certainly more honest.
Holy shit, those figures are insane.
Yeah, most globalists are happy to let open borders and declining birth rates do the work of getting rid of white people. Gotta give the Canadians credit for working a new angle on that front.
Sterilizing the kids takes too long.
But the government kills will love.
STOP RESISTING!
They’re really trying to ingratiate themselves to the EU, I guess. Those numbers will all but guarantee full membership in less than a decade if they can maintain their rate of killing sick people.
If they join the EU, we should kick them out of NATO.
And their sons can join their new friends on the battlefield fighting Russians.
Can we kick ourselves out of NATO?
“Can we kick ourselves out of NATO?”
I think that would require Congress doing something. So no.

However, Trump could re-deploy all military assets out of Europe except for a teeny tiny administrative contingent.
“FBI 2025 data: estimated 14,085 total murders, firearms used in 72.3% (~10,183 gun homicides).
Canada Health 2024 MAID: 16,499 (newest full official).
Per capita: US (~342M pop) ~3.0/100k. Canada (~41.5M) ~39.8/100k”
Yikes!
“REVEALED: More Canadians die from MAID each year than Americans do from gun homicides
MAID deaths reached a record high in 2024 and made up around 5 percent of all deaths in Canada, or about 1 in 20.”
https://thepostmillennial.com/revealed-more-canadians-die-from-maid-each-year-than-americans-do-from-gun-homicides
Not to defend MAID as I don’t think the .gov should be involved in that business, too many perverse incentives, but I’d like to see a bit more than those numbers.
E.g. What is the normal death rate in Canada? Is there a deviation from the trend at the introduction of MAID or is all cause mortality steady? IOW, if there’s a large population of people who would die by other means that are now in the MAID bucket, that’s very different than a large population of people who would have survived but were MAID’ed.
Good points Putrid.
I looked into the raw death rates in Canada, they were on an ascent since around 2012, but within the normal range (not above previous levels of the past 50 years) before 2016. MAID was first introduced in 2016 and expanded in 2021. Death rates exceeded previous normal levels (~7.2/1000) and rose as high as 8.7/1000 in 2022 (covid effect?). The data only goes to 2024, but still hasn’t returned to normal levels, but dropped to 7.9/1000.
Based on this first cut there may be something to the claim, certainly worth looking into. I find it hard to believe that there isn’t any effect on aggregate deaths, since the whole point of the program is to make dying easier to do.
https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SP.DYN.CDRT.IN?locations=CA
I don’t think the underlying death rates blah blah matter. None of that changes the number of Canadians killed by their government. We don’t really care what the underlying death rates are when we are talking about how many people are killed by anything else, after all.
Now that I look at it again, I’m not sure why they are breaking out the homicide-by-gun number. The total number of homicides in the US is less than the number of Canadians killed by their government.
Because guns make murder worse, duh.
I don’t think the underlying death rates blah blah matter. None of that changes the number of Canadians killed by their government.
I will disagree. Note I’m not addressing the question of whether the Canadian government should be involved in this business as all; that’s a separate question, one which I would come down pretty strongly on the side of “NO!”.
However, give credit where credit is due, steel-man, don’t assume the absolute worst of people advocating for MAID. If the situation is such that a person would die after two months of excruciating pain is pulled forward into MAID and that accounts for all those increased MAID deaths, that is a very different situation than the scenario of “you’re depressed and would cost us money so into MAID you go”. The later would fall into the argument about who should be involved in such decisions – not the Canadian government – and would show up as an increase in overall baseline morality whereas the former would not.
So you need to understand what is happening to be able to address the motivations of those who support MAID. If the former scenario is what’s happening – and that should show up in all cause mortality – you have a very different argument than if it’s the later scenario.
In other words, take the Canadian government out of it – that’s a separate argument to make. If the 5% of all deaths that are MAID are comprised of terminal patients would die over slightly extended periods of time otherwise, that’s a very different moral argument compared to getting rid of people to save money or green the planet. And comparing MAID deaths to gun deaths is a catchy little number, hopefully inviting more scrutiny into what they are doing, but is largely irrelevant to that question.
I don’t think it makes any difference how much longer someone has to live, when we are looking at whether killing them is a good thing, kind of a bad thing, or a really bad thing. I don’t think its less wrong to kill an 80 year old than a 20 year old.
I’m also not terribly interested in the motivations (read: rationalizations) of people supporting mass killing by the government.
As far as terminally ill people go, they can kill themselves quite easily and painlessly. In the US, there are no restrictions on the amount of painkillers/opioids you can give a hospice patient. People on home hospice (the vast majority) are given large supplies of the stuff, and it is an open secret that many will use it to kill themselves. Morally, I have no problem with that.
I also have no problem with the “let nature take its course” thing where live sustaining care is withdrawn at the patient’s request. We’re getting into hair-splitting territory here, I suppose, but withdrawing care and giving someone a lethal overdose just strike me as two different things.
I miss TwiX more than I miss FB. Granted I really miss Marketplace.

That’s awesome.
With digital movies and AI, you should be able to tag items in a scene for dynamic product placement.
For example, a kid is drinking a pop. The movie makers should be able to sell the rights to change the brand of pop from Coke to Pepsi to Fanta based on who is watching.
Kind of like a green screen for advertising. Billboards in the background, food, drinks, etc should all be stuff you can sell ad rights to.
Just like streaming they can charge a higher price to watch a version without product placements.
I’m still not sure how we have reached the point where we pay monthly subscription fees for the privilege of watching ads in the middle of a show.
Wasn’t that what the subscription fee was for?
Maybe stop making crap like Rings of Power (looking at you Bezos).

Then you pay more for no adds and still get adds.
“Jackson County Judge Sarah A. Castle sentenced her to 13 years in prison without probation, but she could serve less than 11 years after receiving credit for the time she’s been in custody since 2024.”
Jesus save us.
I had to do a quick search, this is what I found:
“Under Missouri Revised Statutes Section 568.045, if the endangerment results in the death of a child, the offense is classified as a Class A felony. The statutory penalties for a Class A felony range from 10 years to life in prison.”
So, the Judge could have easily sent her away for much, much longer. What a cock up by the government.
Well, it isn’t like she strangled her kids!

RE: flooding at girls camp
Tragic story, looks like they made some serious mistakes, but there will be legal hurdles since another 100 people besides the campers and staff died in the same flooding. Hard to argue they were uniquely negligent when so many other people died as well.
Yeah, I’m not sure I see criminal anything by the people running the camp. In hindsight, sure they could have done better, but by far the best way to avoid what happened would have been to not have the camp at all.
I don’t know how this could have been prevented period. It was a very specific and tragic set of circumstances that happened. I don’t think there is any amount of training or preparation that could have saved them. It was just a freak accident and shouldn’t be criminalized. The amount of rain that hit wasn’t even predicted by the weather forecasts. The region got hit with annual rainfall in one day overnight on the biggest camping weekend in Texas.
Looks to me like lawyers want a payday.
This $10M Equestrian Estate has the ULTIMATE Party Barn on 9 ACRES in the TEXAS Hill Country

Can’t say I like this one. No foyer upon entering, kitchen/family room looks small for 10 mil, the microwave is at knee level, the master bedroom is too close to the kitchen.
It’s all steel construction, which will get hotter than blazes. Also, the horse barn will be a maintenance issue. Unless of course, you put horses in it, and have someone constantly watch it. Otherwise it’ll become a rat and reptile factory.
Not my thing at all, and I can’t see anybody paying that much. Of course, I don’t know the local market, either.
Local market is getting really high. Still that price will go down a little, maybe 10%.
We have a drawer microwave. The key? You have to buy specifically the SHARP branded one. Sharp makes all drawer microwaves and they are just rebranded for whomever is reselling them (Kitchen Aid, Bosch, etc.)
But only the Sharp one has the proprietary pull-out controls that don’t require you to stop standing to see what you’re doing.

Discover a rare opportunity to own approximately 7 acres with an impressive 1,295 feet of frontage on Junior Lake in Lakeville and Pukakon, Maine. This semi-remote eastern Maine property offers the combination of privacy, recreational opportunity, and an existing completely furnished timber-frame cabin, making it an ideal Maine getaway.
The property consists of two separate lots, providing flexibility for the future. Keep both lots together and enjoy the privacy and extensive shoreline, share one with family or friends, or explore the potential for future resale. With more than 1,200 feet of lake frontage, there is plenty of room to enjoy the water and surrounding wilderness.
The 780-square-foot timber-frame cabin comes completely furnished, allowing you to arrive and start enjoying the property without the expense and hassle of furnishing a camp from scratch. The cabin is built on a slab, features a durable metal roof, and is equipped with a solar PV system. Whether you’re looking for a weekend retreat, hunting and fishing camp, or a place to escape the pace of everyday life, this property offers an excellent turnkey opportunity.
Junior Lake encompasses approximately 3,866 acres and reaches depths of about 70 feet. Part of the West Branch of the St. Croix River system, the lake is known for its remote character and limited access, helping preserve its peaceful atmosphere. The fishery includes cold-water species such as salmon, lake trout, and whitefish, along with warm-water species including smallmouth bass and white perch.
The surrounding region is equally impressive. The Downeast Lakes Land Trust and other conservation efforts have helped protect more than 300,000 acres of land throughout the region, creating an extensive network of forests, wetlands, lakes, and recreational lands.
Despite the remote setting, everyday necessities are within reasonable driving distance. The Springfield General Store is approximately 12 miles away, Lincoln is about 32 miles, Bangor approximately 80 miles, and the New Brunswick border is about 52 miles.
Adding to the appeal are the very low property taxes found in this part of Maine. If you’ve been searching for Maine lakefront land for sale, a fully furnished cabin on a large lake, or an eastern Maine recreational property, 708 Red Pine Road offers a unique combination of shoreline, acreage, privacy, and a ready-to-enjoy cabin.

Diego Garcia is the stupidest example of self-hatred from the West I have seen in a long time.
Historically uninhabited islands get colonized by the UK, they bring in people from abroad (not from Mauritius, mind you), the residents never have a legal claim over the land and are eventually moved off the island. Years later Mauritius asks for the Islands ‘back’ despite never having a claim to the area and the UK eventually gives in. In the background are the ‘native’ Chagosians asking to be let back on the island, which I can only imagine is a money grab because there is nothing there for them, added to the fact that they have no legitimate claim to the land. We should send one cruiser over to Mauritius and tell them to pipe down or be obliterated. Also, they owe us 125 million pounds a year for trying to extort our ally and for frivolous claims in international courts.
Trump is the only president who might actually do something like that.
One of his few admirable qualities, but definitely severely lacking in our government for the past 50 years.
It’s like Argentina and the Falkland’s. They never had a presence there, it isn’t right on the coast or anything like that. But they keep acting like dicks about it.

To be fair, neither should men. Unfortunately, we are territorial pack animals, so somebody is going to be in a positions of authority.
Much as I’d like to agree, this level of petty authoritarianism is not rare among judges.
This is why you want to avoid interacting with the court system as much as possible.
Authority is necessary, but so is accountability. Every form of official immunity needs to be obliterated. Sorry “your honor”, but you don’t get to skate on being a tyrannical asshole.
Maybe I missed it on a quick read, but I didn’t see the judge’s name or picture in the article. I was not surprised to see that the judge was a “she”, though.
I’m guessing the defense attorney was cited (sighted) for wearing a bra and not a face mask.
Women hate other women, it is known.
Also – “It’s not the hill to die on and I have no problem throwing a coat on in the couple months she has left on the bench after being voted out of office.” So there’s apparently a light at the end of the tunnel.
The public humiliation was not called for, that was not acceptable. She could have told her in a more private way.
Honestly, I side with the judge on this.
Could a male lawyer show off the guns at court? It is ridiculous.
Only if it was sunny.
A male lawyer couldn’t show leg either.
Correct Tater, and no one should expect special treatment. Dresses should be a reasonable length (down to the ankles) to show the proper respect and decorum in court.
So no jewelry, high heels, make up? I think you are missing the point here.
Hair in a bonnet, just to be sure.
‘So no jewelry, high heels, make up? I think you are missing the point here.’
Maybe you should make your point clear then?
What is acceptable for men and women is different.
Mao suits all around.
For great equality, comrade!

No, no, go traditional – robes and powdered wigs.
“No, no, go traditional – robes and powdered wigs.”
Too discriminatory. Everyone has to be naked.
I’m not an attorney, but I bet I’ve been to traffic court more than anyone here and I can say that most judges I have ever sat before make their dress code clear before you come to the courtroom and the bailiff almost always reminds you again at the courthouse before proceedings begin. Ignore this at your peril. I always wear a suit, because it’s court and you get treated differently by the judge and prosecutor in a suit vs. slacks and a polo.
“The report noted that in 2020 — the year HRC attributed the deaths of “our Black trans siblings” to “an epidemic of violence” fueled by “systems of white supremacy” — not a single white suspect was identified in the cases the Manhattan Institute researchers verified.”

There was an election to win.
Andy Ngo was on this beat years ago.
It is a completely made up “crisis” like all the other ones that are ginned up for votes and profit.
The Red Sox and Yankees have clinched wild card spots so the White Sox and Cleveland have to win the division or they are out.
Aw shit, there’s 3 wild cards now. I guess Cleveland or Chicago will back into the playoffs
Yeah, the Sox are three games up on the Texans and Stros in the WC. Barring a complete collapse they should be in.
Considering they were 41-121 two seasons ago, being in the driver’s seat for the playoffs is incredible. I lived through some of the dark years of the Phillies, so I remember what it was like being on the bottom looking ‘way ‘way up.
I watched Psycho Goreman last night. Excellent. That little girl is amazing.

“Congressional Black Caucus holds ‘Stop the Lynchings’ panel, demands …
Today The Congressional Black Caucus held a panel called “Stop the Lynchings” to “confront” what they call “America’s suspicious black hanging deaths.” This comes after a black man has been charged with the hanging murder of a black woman in Mississippi. The panelists said that black deaths are not adequately investigated, that “everything is in racism,” and that there needs to be DEI in forensic …”
https://thepostmillennial.com/congressional-black-caucus-holds-stop-the-lynchings-panel-demands-dei-in-forensic-medicine
Link not working? Anyway, like rhywun said, “It is a completely made up “crisis” like all the other ones that are ginned up for votes and profit.”
“During the first panel, Tunisha Brown, founder and publisher of IMPACT Magazine, offered a modern definition of lynching:
“A discriminatory killing committed in the late 20th or early 21st century by more than one person, carried out for an alleged offense with or without legal trial or due process, and motivated by race, gender, or sexuality.”
That expanded definition recognizes that gender-based and anti-trans murders emerge from the same culture of extrajudicial violence that fueled racial terror during the Jim Crow era.”
https://92q.com/5916068/cbc-stop-the-lynching-panel-lee-merritt-jamal-bryant/
She can shove her modern definition up the classical definition of her ass.
Maybe the CBC folks should have gone into STEM fields instead of grifting.
“During the second panel discussion, Natasha Pratt-Harris, director of the Applied Sociology and Social Justice Ph.D. program at Morgan State University, discussed the racial disparities shaping how Black people’s deaths are investigated.
“It’s about race,” Pratt-Harris said. “Dr. Raymond Winbush, a noted race-based theorist, talks about the idea that race is in the center of it all. Everything is in racism. So when we talk about the ‘Strange Fruit,’ when we talk about the assessment of a police-involved death, and there’s questions about: Did this person die because of the beating by a police officer, or was it his heart that just so happened to stop when he was being beaten?””
It would be much much better if they just accepted that the Democratic-run police departments and judicial systems doesn’t give a damn about their subjects and start offing the bad ‘uns in their own midst.
“Stop Asian Hate”
They had better watch out or they might uncover some inconvenient facts.
Sort of like the Missing Native Women Project. I’m sure the libs thought that they’d be apprehending a bunch of racist crackers who trolled the rez for victims. Unfortunately, they kept finding it was Native Men who were the victimizers. And that the Natives weren’t all that interested in bringing them to justice.
Rather than try to flee, the larger speedboat began circling the inflatable, taunting the four Civil Guard officers aboard. Onshore, an audience cheered the drug boat. Olé! Olé, they yelled, as if spectators at a bullfight. Bro, kill them.
The drug boat then smashed into the Civil Guard vessel, flying over the top and crushing the crew. It circled back and struck the officers who had been knocked overboard. Two were killed.
Well, it’s not like Spain has any other border issues…

Hockey is unique in that the players can get literally inches from the fans. You see a lot of this type of thing and it’s great.
Also in UK soccer stadiums, and there’s no plexiglass in the way. When someone scores sometimes they’ll run over to the fans and get backslaps, high-fives, embraces, etc.
The Lambeau leap has spread across the NFL. People don’t realize how BIG a lot of those guys are until they find the player in their lap.
Basketball players usually don’t end up in the stands but occasionally they get up and close to the fans. Many are even bigger than football players.
Here’s another one for you TOK.

“Sunny Hostin stopped The View in its tracks Tuesday after she revealed she was the holdout juror in a well-known New York City homicide case surrounding a cannibal who killed and dismembered a 26-year-old Swiss dancer back in 1989….
Former federal prosecutor Hostin, 57, sided with the other 11 jurors, flaunting the fact that ‘the insanity defense has been around in Massachusetts for 182 years.’ Clancy’s team maintained the mother lacked any ‘criminal responsibility.’…
She proudly brought up how a producer found a newspaper clipping that proved her participation in Rakowitz’s 1991 murder trial.
Rakowitz, an eccentric cannabis dealer known to wander around the East Village with a Bible and live rooster in tow, was ultimately acquitted….
The Times credited Hostin ‘with preventing a guilty verdict.’ She was quoted under her birth name, Asuncion Cummings. The report can still be found on the Times’ website….
Rakowitz fed Beerle’s ‘body parts to the unhoused,’ she said. Rakowitz, indeed, served the remains to homeless men in Tompkins Square Park in a soup shortly after the killings.”

Weird. I read that as “race bait theorist” first time by.
Not gonna lie – so did I. And it’d fit perfectly.

Is a race bait theorist a pr0n director who comes up with various scenarios for interracial scenes?

Speaking of race baiting desperation
A Mississippi grand jury has decided there’s not enough evidence to bring charges in the case of Nolan Wells, a Black teenager who was found dead off the Mississippi coast in early July. However, activists, attorneys and Wells’ family are continuing to push for answers.
During a press conference Tuesday, civil rights attorney Ben Crump highlighted a detail mentioned in the medical examiner’s report: the bruising on the back of Wells’ head, which the report said was not a fatal injury.
“Nolan Wells’ parents deserve answers,” said Crump, who is representing Wells’ family. He urged the district attorney to keep the investigation open. “What really happened to Nolan Wells? What caused the blunt force trauma to his head? That is the crux of the matter.”
The fact that the grand jury didn’t find enough evidence to charge someone with a crime “is not an answer to how 18-year-old Nolan Xavier Wells left for an outing with friends and never came home,” the Rev. Al Sharpton, who led Wells’ eulogy, wrote in a statement. “We will not confuse the absence of an indictment with the presence of an answer.”
And of course NPR writes the headline in such a way as to imply there is a prime suspect being let off the hook.
That boy couldn’t have just fallen asleep on the beach and missed the last boat. The Klan got him.
Not just one. The whole group of friends he was with just suddenly turned on him…
I mean, what white person hasn’t taken part in a round of kill the negroid while camping? It’s why black people don’t go out doors.
The end goal of all of this seems to be to ensure that white people are afraid to have non-white friends. They’ve already ensured that the sexes are afraid to mingle. I’m not sure the result of all this nonsense is going to be to anyone’s liking though.
“not enough evidence to bring charges”
To bring charges against whom? Charge everyone who was swimming on the island that day with Murder One and see which one cops a deal to point the finger at an alleged killer?
When even the government doesn’t want to take that chance, we can be pretty sure it was just unfortunate circumstances that led to the death.
The 16-person seminar will examine the “complexity and the inevitable conflict and contestation that result” from colleges’ multipronged missions, shaped by stakeholders with many needs and interests, the syllabus said.

“Blame Natalie Harp. On Friday, seemingly out of nowhere, Donald Trump banned CNN, POLITICO and MS NOW from the White House after whining for the umpteenth time about “Fake News,” his decade-long catchphrase to demonize accurate but unflattering press coverage. (It remains unclear if the president, whose paternal grandfather was from Germany, knows the term is an English translation of the infamous Nazi term “lügenpresse.”)”

That’s where I tapped out. I’ve had enough retarded after that lesbian bar story.
Like drug addicts, they need the dopamine hit
whose paternal grandfather was from Germany
Fred Trump was born in NYC in 1905, the son of German immigrants. So yeah, the obvious Nazi connection for all to see. Funny how that kind of prejudice is so acceptable. Truly vintage Amanduh – a princess of pandering.
In reality, this is the same kind of reporting that got the U.S. into WWI – of course back then it was the savage Hun, not Nazism that was the bugbear of German identity.
You can blame the Second Reich government for a shitload of bad decisions that have led to the world we have today. Putting the Schlieffen Plan in motion at the start to bring the British into the war instead of playing defense against the French, resuming unrestricted submarine warfare, shipping Lenin to Petrograd, trying to get Mexico to join the German side. Woodrow Wilson and British propaganda machine played their part, but it was the Germans who bear the major burden of blame.
Ultimately though I feel it was the Russians who started the ball rolling, by coming in on the side of their Serb ‘brothers’ instead of letting the Austrians and Serbs sort things out for themselves. Once the Russians started mobilizing, nothing could stop the avalanche.
The French had been waiting for 40 years for a fight to reclaim Alsace. The Brits got in because they feared the French would guess their asses kicked again, and that would be bad for British access to the continent. You’re buying the fucking lie about “Belgian neutrality” and fighting for the rights of small countries – which conveniently ignores five centuries of unwelcome English rule over Ireland. The Brits wanted to carve up some competing empires to add to their own.
The Kaiser was an asshole, no mistaking that. But he was hardly unique in anything about that.
“More than half of children in the US receive vaccines through VFC, and some states and American Samoa are also known as “universal” vaccine purchasers, which means they buy vaccines through this system for all children in the state or territory, regardless of their insurance status or ability to pay. But as updated pediatric Covid shots roll out throughout the country amid a Covid wave, HHS is not providing Covid vaccines through the VFC program, with no timeline on when the vaccines will be sent.
That means the 52% of children who are eligible for VFC – because they are Alaska Native or American Indian, under- or uninsured, or enrolled in or eligible for Medicaid – as well as all children in universal VFC states don’t have access to Covid vaccines.”
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/sep/23/covid-vaccines-delay-children
So they can’t get a vaccine that does more harm than good?
I hope that they give those Native kids the vax in a culturally appropriate manner. For example, by spreading the Rona Vax on a blanket that is then given to the kid.
The ghost of Sir Jeffrey Amherst nods in approval.
They’ve got her now
According to a new investigation from ProPublica, Sen. Susan Collins narrowly escaped being embroiled in an FBI bribery probe into defense contracts, lawmakers and large campaign contributions. For that, she can thank the Trump administration’s commitment to making America a place where the wealthy, connected and morally flexible can get away with almost anything. The good news is that if we’re determined enough, we can undo the damage that has been done.
ProPublica’s story begins in 2019, when the head of Collins’ super PAC, Scott Reed, met with executives from a defense contractor called Navatek that the senator had helped land a Navy research contract in Maine. Then Collins’ fundraiser made a request: The company should make a six-figure donation to help the senator in her re-election bid. The executives said they would pony up — if Collins helped them get more contracts.
Innuendo and insinuation. That’s what serious journalisming is about.
“For that, she can thank the Trump administration’s commitment to making America a place where the wealthy, connected and morally flexible can get away with almost anything.”
Never happened before 2016.
In a battle between Susan Collins and the Journalismists I am rooting for the battlefield to be swallowed up by an earthquake.
When President Donald Trump took office in 2025, he gutted the Justice Department’s public integrity section, the unit that investigates political corruption. Most of its attorneys were pushed out, Reuters reported in June 2025, and the unit lost its authority to file new cases. The investigation into Kao’s claims never went ahead. It was part of a wider purge at the DOJ, in which attorneys, prosecutors and FBI agents who had ever investigated Trump, the Jan. 6 insurrection, Russia’s interference in the 2020 election or other matters Trump would prefer not to have a light shined on them could expect to be pushed out or fired.
The best, most legitimate and incriminating investigations into the Trump Crime Syndicate.

The report described a risk-averse student body anxious about the cost of college and finding a good job. Employers, the committee wrote, hold a “jarring” skepticism about the current generation’s ability to handle workplace demands, solve problems without clear answers and recover from setbacks.
Who molded their feeble little minds? Who taught them to cling desperately to the conventional wisdom?
Kao went to jail for multiple crimes, but the investigation into the broader system his allegations prompted was one of the casualties of the Trump administration’s new permissiveness toward corruption and white-collar crime.
Trump spiked the investigation despite the desperate urging of Congressional leadership to vigorously pursue corrupt backscratching and pay-to-play, no matter the outcome.

Cornell students who pay full-cost spend nearly $400,000 for an undergraduate degree. The committee found expense along with opaque pricing to be a source of public distrust. But it advised against shortening the time to a degree to three years or leaning in to online education, and instead suggested establishing a task force to develop a new tuition model.
For the university’s own finances, the report urged school leaders to push for robust federal and state funding, following the Trump administration’s attacks on research dollars. Regarding research, the committee recommended examining “publish-or-perish incentives that emphasize quantity over quality.”
That’s what I call bold, innovative out-of-the-box thinking.
establishing a task force
Well if that doesn’t address the issue, it clearly is not a solvable problem! Task forces always solve problems and in no way generate additional expenses that add to the problem.
But I could save them the time and money of the task force and just provide their pre-determined solution directly: “Gib us mor munnies! Vote commie!”
