He’s gonna go blind if he keeps doing that…
Dousing his eyes with Hydrochloric acid to try to make the visions stop?
Just chasing the floaters, kills a little time and sort of fun.
Go away, ‘baitin.
You offering to help him?
He’s lost in the White House catacombs. He left a trail of bread crumbs but the rats ate them.
Them was eaten? What about They? And Xe?

Not wishing to be accused of micromanaging
The president of Cornell University, Michael Kotlikoff, admitted he knew that a student reported being gang-raped at a fraternity in 2024 — but he never followed up on the case.
Kotlikoff did not try to learn whether any of the accused men were punished, and didn’t know that the alleged victim had dropped out of Cornell until she filed a lawsuit under the name Jane Doe last month, he toldThe New York Times this week.
In the lawsuit, Doe alleges she was drugged and gang raped by seven members of the now-defunct Chi Phi fraternity in Ithaca, New York, in October 2024. None of the men have been criminally charged and all have denied wrongdoing.
Hardly the sort of triviality a conscientious university president would concern himself with.
Did he turn his chair backwards and stick his fingers in his ears whenever the topic arose?
Isn’t that a police matter? Shouldn’t he be waiting (and still waiting) to see if the allegations are true?
Two possibilities here: The president of Cornell was lazy and uninterested in day-to-day university operations, or the president of Cornell privately thought that the accusation was not credible and didn’t warrant any further action. I’d give fair odds either way.
The police didn’t find anything illegal.
Of course Kotlikoff “knew” about her, and took whatever measures he felt necessary after the police report showed no laws were broken.
Kotlikoff noted that he had created a task force in February 2025 to address sexual assault on campus as a sign of how seriously his administration takes the issue.
A TASK FORCE, goddammit! What do you people want from me?
The Ivy League school will also move to change the “social culture” on campus. “Research has shown that campus sexual assault is not limited to the fraternity system. At its core is the specific context of social behavior and a deeply disturbing prevalence of alcohol and drug abuse,” Kotlikoff wrote.
Bring back the WCTU!
DRINKING? At college? I’ve never heard of such a thing!
There is no alcohol in the Muni Lot!
Any police officer attempting to enforce this would be taking their lives into their own hands. If he’s lucky, he ends up in the lake.
NFL teams attempting to take over what was a fan lead and driven experience such as tailgating and then corporatizing it to hell is a perfect example of how fucked everything has gotten.
If people can’t be responsible for both their drug use, and their actions while altered…then neo-prohibition is the only rational option.
Exactly. If you think you’re not responsible for what you do when you knowingly ingest drugs of some kind, you shouldn’t use them! I’m sick of the bullshit that if two drunk people hookup, the man was the one who raped the woman.
Now, if someone drugs you without your knowledge, that person deserves a beat down at a minimum.

Agents in charge of project MK Ultra wave hello. Oh, Tuskegee Syphilis, Human Radiation Experiments, Holmesburg Prison, etc.
Seems the dot gov is the largest offender in this category.
Qualified immunity laughs uproariously.
Qualified immunity, and the people who enact and support qualified immunity, should be buried in the same ditch.
It should be a truism for any rational adult, that the rules apply to everyone. Getting away from this ideal was the beginning of the failure of the American experiment.
The flower gardens next to the house have been attacked by pocket (mound) gophers. I have caught 4 so far this fall. When the young ones get tossed out of the house they start looking for their own home. Every fall I catch a couple young ones. This year, 2 young, 1 adult, 1 tiny baby (about the size of a mouse)
I hope that’s it for the year. The foxes eat the “Catch of the Day” after a night or two.
You need to train your bees to kill gophers.
The bee defense would work if the gophers were liking honey.
Isn’t that a police matter? Shouldn’t he be waiting (and still waiting) to see if the allegations are true?
Yes and yes, maybe. But one cannot help thinking a months-long Title Nine inquisition might have appeared on his radar at some point. It’s ludicrous to think the jungle telegraph would not have been all over this. Unless this sort of thing really was just business as usual and not out of the ordinary.
Pleading ignorance just makes him look stupid. Too stupid to stay.
it wouldn’t surprise me if the “people” in charge of the uni title IX office neglected to tell him.
nothing stands to fury
Anyone have advice on how I get a fancy and presumably well-paying non-profit job as a “anti-hunger” expert?
Do I have to dye my hair? Get a septum ring? Take it in the ass at least once?
All of the above.
Also declare yourself a vegan, but eat only highly processed, carb-heavy foods.
And wear T-shirts with unfathomable slogans.
And which struggle to contain your girth.
Yes, that comes with the carb-heavy fake-vegan diet territory. Makes then easy to spot.
Show your commitment to anti-hungerism by being morbidly obese.
Used to be, being a graduate of an Ivy League School grad with a parent who is politically connected would get you $150-600K a year for a no-show job with an NGO; depending on just how connected your folks are.
USAID drying up did put a pinch on those types of jobs.
Be connected. That’s it.
Seriously. An acquaintance’s friend group was full in on the local proggy hookups. One of them got a job as the driver for a (piece of shit) Congressman. You have to know someone to get you the in. After that, tow that blue lion until retirement.
What Neph said. If you don’t have the connections, spend a few years on Reddit and Mastodon building them.
I may have heard of Mastodon at some point, but the hell if I could tell you exactly what it is.
I do like whenever some obvious lefty admits that Blue Sky is boring and tedious to participate in.
Mastodon is basically a multi-homed version of BlueSky.
Do you have any sense of shame or self-respect?
No, he doesn’t.
It depends on what pay is being offered.
I fake all kinds of shit at work. We all do. If I have to pretend that I don’t despise Boomber Bob and Barb, why not pretend that I don’t want to gas Marxists?
You fart around Marxists? That’s kinda funny.
No. I fart around marxists. And they never forget it.
For your enjoyment, I give you Fart in a Can.
Great for pranking the wife unit. Or the kid unit. Or Bro.
It depends on what pay is being offered.
Exactly what all the sex-workers say. Whore.
write a grant proposal, set up shop
duh

Lots of Doritos.
This is too on the nose. I had to read it twice.
I was mid-hip thrust when I found out @Shanemgillis had called me a wh o re. Technically I found out four hours later, when I reviewed the footage of Saturday Night Live. My tripod was on the bench, my ring light was clamped to the squat rack and my boyfriend Tanner was holding the back-up phone for the side angle. Tanner films all my content. He is not allowed to look at me.
The whole tweet is perfect.

Nice. I didn’t pick up the sarcasm until the second paragraph.
Very nice.
Great article.
It’s discriminatory for Twatter to limit me to 120 characters unless I pay them for that stupid checkmark.
I’m the god damn Bro. Everyone already knows who I am. No one can fake a First.
You take Firsts like a champ. I’m surprised your skin doughnut hasn’t prolapsed.
College students should be required to sign a pledge of celibacy and abstention from stimulants.
That will fix everything.
Mostly worked for me.
Instead they’re handing out “alternative sex” guides.
Tanner films all my content. He is not allowed to look at me.
Why not go full eunuch?

He’s says no ghost writer. If true, I wish to be at least half as mentally agile at 95. Hell, I’d settle for that now.
Doing the truly important things
Mayor Zohran Mamdani and the leader of the New York City council have agreed to ban horse-drawn carriages from the city, a popular tourist attraction that has faced widespread scrutiny.
Mamdani has agreed to back a bill supported by Julie Menin, the speaker of the New York city council, that would make it illegal to operate horse-drawn carriages beginning in June 2028, Politico reported on Tuesday. The city council is expected to vote on the legislation next week.
“The horse carriage industry is coming to an end in New York City. Our administration will make sure workers and owners are protected and the horses are safe,” Mamdani wrote on X on Tuesday.
A safe city is our only concern.
In the future the NYC carriages will be drawn by dhimmi.
I saw a post from some batshit blue hair the other day. She had some rant about white people authors who create slave races in their stories and depict the slaves as enjoying their slavery and how the only one who attacks the system is a white woman who everyone mocks.
I *think* she was talking about Rowling and the house elves, but even her own comment section wasn’t sure.
@3door – the term is Rickshaw.
A jinrikisha (人力車) is a traditional, human-powered two-wheeled passenger cart. The characters are human + power + vehicle. Actually on the nose for a change.
Somehow morphed into rickshaw.
I’m not 100% on my Harry Potter canon, but regarding the house elves – wasn’t there a huge war between the humans the fey, and the fey lost and were given the choice between servitude and annihilation?
Cute Japanese Rickshaw girls

Those horses will end up in a dog food cannery the day after such a law is passed.
These days we ship them to mexico because horse slaughter is over-regulated here, and working/riding horses over-medicated
Iams fully in support of this.
this is a Hills I could die on
Dogs are not halal.
I guess NYC finally gets all that sweet land which currently have the stables.
The ban has been proposed for a long time. At this point, I no longer care – those horses look terrible and the workers are just an immigration scam.
I don’t care either and IIRC you’re right – it was instigated by greedy fatcats who wanted that land, way back in the Deblasio era.
how will they get food once they have won the war on fossil fuels?
Once again, a judge is forced to intervene
The court’s move is a victory for federal employees’ unions, including the American Federation of Government Employees and the AFL-CIO, which, alongside counties and nonprofits, sued the government earlier this year. It applies to the Forest Service; the Food and Nutrition Administration; the Agricultural Research Service, including the Beltsville Agriculture Research Center; the Foreign Agricultural Service; Rural Development; the Office of the General Counsel; the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights; as well as the mission areas Research, Education and Economics, and Farm Production and Conservation.
“Congress told USDA in plain language that it could not close offices and uproot its workforce without permission. USDA did it anyway, so AFGE and our partners took them to court. These forced moves were never about efficiency. They were about pushing experienced people out the door,” said AFGE President Everett Kelley in a statement.
Trump cannot be allowed to run roughshod over these noble government agencies.
The employees can always find other employment if they don’t want to go to where their jobs now are.
The judge can Canadian Self-Medicate after administering it to the union leaders and their lawyers.
The forest service is unconstitutional.
Auction all those millions of acres off.
The reorganization has led some employees to retire early or quit, prompting concerns about a loss of experience and expertise across the department.
Oh, no. Institutional Knowledge will be lost. How will the newcomers learn to do things the way they have always been done?
Those horses will end up in a dog food cannery the day after such a law is passed.
They have that base covered. Only happy dignified retirement will be possible.
We sent them to a farm… in Mexico.
They’ll be sent for a rest in Canada. It’s MAID to order for such things.
Bank of America’s (BAC) stock dropped 6% Wednesday, as a $1.2 billion regulatory penalty dragged down the major lender’s third quarter results. The stock is on pace for its worst single-day move since April 2025.
I’m glad I sold a while back.
I wonder if that was an Obama/Biden style fishing expedition for cash to hand out to their favorite left wing cause, or if they actually did anything wrong.
They admitted the wrong-doing – wondering whether the profits were greater than the fine.
What’s the profit in dumping customers? Or are they hoping to lure back the suckers they shunned?
Never bought.
I decided never to do business with them nearly thirty years ago.
Just spitballing here, but do you think she had some work done?

… with a steamroller
I will never understand why women think anything about that look is attractive or anything but creepy.
I know an 18 year old who wants to get work done and no she doesn’t need it and no guy is going to appreciate it. Say that to her and you just get dumb platitudes back and a pretense that she doesn’t care what guys think while being completely obsessed with how guys perceive her.

Eeek! 😱
That’s fucking hideous…but I think the problem goes deeper than the plastic surgery.
doctor was a little to quick with the forceps?
That made me exclaim. Holy cow!
Good lord, what a, um, unique look.
everything she said is the gospel truthy, except for anything which might contradict or muddy the narrative
Jane Doe’s lawyer, Thomas Giuffra, told CBS News her messages reflected “classic symptoms of delayed recognition,” calling it “a textbook response to sexual assault.”

So funny
JANE DOE
we should smoke again sometime but like leave out the extra 5 billion men and ketamine
Just what the victim of a horrific forcible gang rape would say.
Is ‘delayed recognition’ anything like ‘recovered memories’? They sound pretty similar.
Delayed Recognition is a sign of Regret-Rape and not Rape-Rape
I think its Delayed Recognition that there could be a big payday in it.
And sometime the “recognition” comes 30 or 40 years later.
Just spitballing here, but do you think she had some work done?
Almost as scary as Dell’s wife.
When you have a tiger by the tail, wrassle it
President Trump posted an AI-edited clip of the Yorkshire tiger video showing himself pinning the tiger to the ground before hugging it, with “The Lion Sleeps Tonight” playing in the background.
Some people won’t grasp the simbalism.
Wait… it’s a tiger. So they won’t grasp the sambolism.
eeny meeny miney moe.
Tigger, please.
X rumor only. Showed up in my feed, but it IS very interesting given the Ruger and Beretta hostilities.
If you were interested in lower volume Ruger products you may want to act now.
https://x.com/harveyspistols/status/2110102154346406146?s=20
Ruger is closing down their New Hampshire plant and moving the production lines elsewhere – probably Prescott, AZ, but they have quite a few plants.
I’d worry a little bit, but not a lot.
Time to pick up that Super Redhawk Alaskan in 454 Casull, since I hate my wrists and want to punish them.

Much more in the post – didn’t want to post Larry’s wall-o-text unprompted but can if there’s demand.
*protracted standing ovation*
That was perfect. And really not a surprise, Larry has been in the competition shooting and performance training world almost as long as I have, and the TTRPG/gaming dork world even longer.
One thing that struck me when I went through a shoot house awhile back is how my gamer nervous system was engaged on rapid target identification and response.
Yeah, that’s a thing. The more that you overlearn the mechanics of shooting, moving, and gunhandling, the more cognitive cognitive capacity is freed up for identifying threats and getting rid of them.
Is ‘delayed recognition’ anything like ‘recovered memories’?
Sometimes your experiences have to be explained to you. A night of wild consensual sexual experimentation can only be properly understood through the lens of “everything is rape” gender scholarship.
Have some more ridiculous pileup and goalpost shifting and fear-mongering.
I see some of the protestors didn’t leave their keffiyehs at home for the occasion.
Given how much they lied about the current incident one wonders if CNN did any actual research or just made shit up.
Found responsible by a starchamber university panel with very low standards of evidence, right?
