Despite her sentimental attachment to The Bills, Prime is not much of a fan of watching football. This is one of her very few shortcomings as a human. Part of this is that even after 67 years on this planet, the majority of them spent in pro football cities (Buffalo and Boston), she has never, even, not even once been to an actual live game. Thanks to the annual generosity of our own Nephilium, we are about to correct this. And what better way to be initiated into the cult of watching 50 or so hyperpituitary multi-millionaires slamming into one another at high speeds than experiencing Real Football at the one and only House of Pain. OK, maybe tailgating in Green Bay, but still, this is a close second and much more reachable. Best yet, the seats are in the Dawg Pound. And her boyfriend will be wearing the colors of the visiting team. Hilarity will ensue.
And today’s include a woman who could keep up with the Joneses; the other female lead in The Devil and Miss Jones; the William Henry Harrison of popes; a guy who invented the most iconic character of the 20th century; a guy who was a step ahead of Joe DiMaggio; a guy who was the perfect “moody and sensitive” gay stereotype; a guy who, like Fred Willard, managed to transcend his material and always be funny; an incredible guitarist who was patient and helpful with questions from an untalented teenage me; a holy gimmick act; the Patron Saint of Butte, Montana; a ridiculously talented and versatile musician and actor; Jeff Garlin’s spirit animal; the most insightful and brilliant comedian of my lifetime; the most insightful and brilliant film and TV auteur and voice actor of my lifetime; and a big fan of the New York subway system.
And I am a big fan of Links.
Here’s an idea: just eliminate the position and attendant staff.
“Now he can kill Jews instead of politicians. Fair.”
So much noise and in the end, exactly nothing will happen.
Yes, this is clearly the issue driving US voters.
Wait, how does this “apartheid” thing work?
It seemed like a great concept. How could it possibly fail? Shocking.
I’ve seen this movie. Wait for Reptilicus to spawn.

I know the day is young but I doubt I will read anything stupider today. Oh, Canada. 🙄
Perhaps not but I think we will be reading about this guy again. Authorities will be taken by surprise when he is found to have participated in another Islamist terrorist plot. Even more shocking will be the radical sermons his imam delivered that went unnoticed by authorities.
You would think that the ‘educated, sophisticated, empathic class’ would be able to see when they’re being taken for a ride.
They think this guy is going to predate against the Icky Class and (((others))).

It is amazing their readership is even able to crawl out from under the covers every day.
Aren’t both parties owned by tech bribes? Is there anything in the world less environmently friendly than data centers?
A solar farm. Acres of windmills and their broken fiberglass vanes. A Chinese factory. An Indian Shipbreaking yard. California wildfire mismanagement. Moai Contruction.
Lots of things are less environmentally friendly than a building with a bunch of servers in it. The fear mongering about data centers is almost as stupid at this point as the idea that AI is going to usher in a post scarcity world. They are just server farms, like the ones that host everything from this site to the movies our alien friend streams for us.
They take vast quantities of power and water. Puts out heat and noise. Produce nothing useful.
Those newfangled technologies. What use have they ever been.
@Drake I don’t know what you read/watch/listen but your outlook has gotten unbelievably bleak.
Explain to me the benefits of a data center in the neighborhood.
Lower property taxes. See, for example, Loudon County, Virginia.
They’ll need it to pay their power bills.

Oh no, won’t someone think of the poor teachers and government workers!!!
But don’t let that stop us from hysterical fear mongering. 🙄
If only there was some way to generate more energy.
Wait, they’re putting them in neighborhoods now?
Drake, you would be right at home on the Santa Fe City Council. They have made it quite plain they want no industrial or light industrial businesses in the city, and the County isn’t much better.
We’ve been building data centers for decades now. I’m unaware of any environmental catastrophes due to them.
I feel unease about the climate “crisis.” Unease at the burgeoning solar farms and windmills resulting from climate hysteria. Alarm that we’re not going all-in for nuclear.
I’m with this guy. I want a nuclear pod at my house to supply a lifetime of energy.

Some years back TCM’s Silent Sunday Nights ran a really interesting anti-war film from the wake of the Great War called Behind the Door. On a movie board talking about upcoming films on TCM, I joked, “No mention of whether the door is green.”
Some people didn’t seem to get it.
“What’s that secret you’re keepin’?”

Sheesh.
I admit it. That’s exactly what I did.
Too local. Why is this of any concern to a United States Representative?
Because it allows them to blame the (((Joos)))
Indeed. And it’s the least curious/skeptical people who do it.
That kind of accusation might warrant some evidence to readers not steeped in NYT’s supreme knowledge of everything Israel.
The evil Zionist landlords won’t let them conduct their cultural practice of making bombs and strapping them to their wives and kids.
I suspect they’re playing the usual DemSoc game where “unequal outcome” is ipso facto evidence of “systemic racism” or some such bullshit.
Look up “unrecognized Bedouin villages”, although most of the hits have a decided political stance.
It’s partly the tragedy of “nomadic community meets government that wants people settled in towns” going back to Ottoman times: Bedouins didn’t want to make land claims since they’d then be taxed with no services provided. The other part is that latter-day governments are reluctant to regularize things they see as part of squatting since they have an interest in not encouraging more of it.
Nomads have always caused trouble.
Case in Point
It should be pointed out that the Bedouins were there long before the Israelis realized the land was strategically important.
Just because people stopped caring about it after the Romans displaced the Nabateans doesn’t mean the Bedouins can just claim to have lived there since time immemorial – Even if they have.
TBH, I couldn’t care less. It is certainly not up to the level of hysteria the Democrats are going to cosplay over it.
Thunderous applause for UCS’s links.

The violence part is unquestionably true. Arab gangs are just as vicious and pervasive in those areas as the gangs of, ummm, yoots in urban American areas. And for similar reasons (control of black market goods and services).
OT – thought about your trip the other day when this popped up on one of the YouTube channels I follow.

I enjoy watching pro football on TV and have been to plenty of high school and college games, but never a pro football game. I think I might be inclined to make my first game one played by the St. Louis Battlehawks, as they play at a rather more temperate time of year.
I don’t know about UFL, but the NFL gives you the fun of going through airport-grade security before entering. You’ll feel much safer. (There’s a funny story about that involving SP and gate security at Lambeau in Green bay, but that’s for a different day)
The Stevens County Sheriff’s Office is working with state and federal agencies to identify a large metallic object found in a cornfield in Scott Township.
Honey Harvest must have been wild.
I’m just hoping it’s not part of a SpaceX craft. Even if it isn’t it will fan the flames of MDS and Luddism.
If it was a spacecraft piece it would no longer resemble a nice big spherical section after smashing into the ground. The windblown end of a LPST tank seems more likely.
I mentioned the other day I took my new toy out to the range. Worked great with no malfunctions. The weak part was me who recently returned to the range after a long absence.
On the CZ family of pistols with a hammer and firing pin blocks they use a roll pin that will deform under use and especially when dry fired. I would argue it’s a big weak point of any otherwise very good design. I put through about 200 rounds and probably have 300 rounds dry fired with a snap cap. I pulled the pin out and checked it after my trip the range. Only thing on it was a slight mark, but no noticeable wear.
Now this guy OTH – CZ P07 firing pin retaining pin.
Say what you want about plastic pistols, but I remain a big fan of my Glock 21. I just bought a 43x while I was at the range. This being NJ and all despite having all the required paperwork I’m still going to have to return to pick it up next week when the NJ NICS finally completes.
Can’t help you with the dry practice – none of my CZs ever had firing pin blocks. It is a weak point of the design.
I will say, I do a lot of my dry fire without ever pressing the trigger.
I wound up with a laser dummy round and target. It helped me both get used to the CZ and zero the optic before I got to the range.
I’m still debating if I want an optic on the 43X MOS. I’m honestly not sure. I may just get a set of tritium sights for it and be done, but got the MOS cut to have options.
Trust me, get the optic. Don’t make things harder on yourself.
Given your experience I’ll seriously consider it!
NH US Senate race news
It’s actually not a bad article.
Ron Klein was all set.
That’s what the 83-year-old declared after opening his front door one breezy afternoon in Bedford, N.H., this month, and finding a Republican canvasser eager to lock down his vote in the tight US Senate race.
Klein said he’d already made up his mind — he’d be voting for Rep. Chris Pappas, the Democratic nominee.
Then Klein quipped that he actually wished Pappas wasn’t running for Senate. That way, he said, he could cast a ballot to keep Pappas in the House and instead send Republican John Sununu back to the Senate.
“That would have made my decision easy,” Klein said.
Welcome to New Hampshire. On the surface, it’s easy to assume it’s solidly blue: The state voted for the last three Democratic presidential nominees and has sent only Democrats to Congress since 2017.
But New Hampshire also has had a Republican governor since 2017, and the GOP controls the State House and Senate.
It’s good to be the king!
President Trump signed an executive order to exempt Russia from parts of a bipartisan sanctions law he signed last month.
Surely he knew the law was grandstanding flapdoodle in contrast to the hysterical quotes from the establishmentarians in that article, so I wonder why he even signed it.

“A Texas Democratic congressional candidate’s campaign reported more than $4,300 in spending on cookies, Mexican restaurant purchases and beer and wine earlier this year, according to federal election records, drawing renewed attention after a heated debate in which she apologized for a remark about her Republican opponent “making fun of Nazis.””

“A crop of busty, AI-generated women is reportedly stealing jokes from real stand-up comedians — racking up millions of views on Instagram while steering fans toward adult subscription sites including OnlyFans and Fanvue.
The digitally manufactured hotties, who often perform in skimpy outfits before fake audiences, have amassed hundreds of thousands of followers while recycling jokes that previously went viral when performed by real comedians, Wired reported Friday”

“Look, I’m not going to defend the Green New Deal,” Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic US Senate candidate in Michigan, told Fox News in August, after previously campaigning for 100% renewable energy.
It is so manifestly proper and true there is no need to waste breath defending it against the ignorant rabble. They have been duped and swindled by Big Oil for 100 years.
“A former Cornell student has been suspended from his job after being falsely linked to fraternity brothers’ chats about the alleged gang rape — even though he’d already graduated before it happened.
The grad, who calls himself an “ally” who is “progressive to a fault,” was not at the 2024 Chi Ph party and had no knowledge of chats about “free p—y” until they emerged recently in a lawsuit, he told the New Yorker, which referred to him only as B.”

“The climate hushers are dead wrong – voters want to hear more about climate change, not less, and they will reward politicians who are strong climate leaders,” said Nathaniel Stinnett, executive director of the Environmental Voter Project, which conducted the poll. “Politicians should always tailor their message to their district but it’s pure fiction to say that talking about climate change will lose you votes.”
“In fact, it’s a huge vote-winner, even with independents in red states who favor fairly aggressive climate action by a four-to-one margin,” Stinnett added. “There’s this idea that climate has become a curse word and you shouldn’t say it. That’s just wrong.”
This man obviously knows what he’s talking about. We should listen to him.
