CNN Mood 'Like a Funeral' as Paramount's Warner Bros. Win Casts New Haze on Next Steps
Just when staffers at CNN thought the news giant's path to the future was becoming more clear, new fog has set in.
In recent weeks, the Warner Bros. Discovery outlet appeared to have found its groove. Yes, its linear ratings are down noticeably from the era when it won notice for its aggressive coverage of President Trump's first term, and there are serious questions about whether they will ever come back. But the company appeared to be making some gains with digital audiences with its recently launched "CNN All Access" subscription service, where CNN has been testing new programming formats.
LOL. Their ratings are in the crapper but they're making "some gains" with digital.
Like CNN Plus. You remember CNN Plus, right?
On the traditional side, despite the viewership challenges, CNN has seen personnel like Abby Phillip and Harry Enten gain some traction.
"Some" traction.
This propagandist is really straining to find ways to claim that CNN is performing well in "some" ways. They say that Warner Bros. claims that CNN will post a profit this year, but I've heard Disney's Bob Iger claiming everything is going great at the Groomer Network, so I don't put much stock in corporate predictions of plenty.
Now for the truth:
...
The mood at CNN is "like a funeral," says one person familiar with the operation.
CNN personnel have reason to worry. Paramount's management of CBS News has been controversial, and has not been good for the business of the news unit. Changes made under Bari Weiss, installed last year as editor in chief, have brought unnecessary scrutiny to news reports, and anchors have made public entreaties on Instagram when people post notes suggesting that Weiss' background as a digital entrepreneur and provocative opinion writer have muddied the newsgathering at the network.
The right has brought "scrutiny" to left-wing media reporting for 40+ years but this was never before seen as a problem. Now that lefties are complaining about editorial decisions, it's a National Concern.
...
But staffers are also concerned about the company's business plans being changed -- yet again. "What an enormous loss and disruption it would be to shuffle leadership for the umpteenth time in the midst -- finally -- of reshaping the business," says one CNN staffer.
Expert opinion: Companies that are performing well are not subject to frequent leadership changes, just as winning teams aren't frequently subjected to new coaching staffs.
CNN employees have reason to wring their hands....
Without a boost from new digital revenue, CNN's business will likely decline, according to projections from Kagan, a market-research unit of S&P Global Intelligence. CNN's cash flow is seen falling to $735.3 million in 2027, according to Kagan, down nearly 10% from $815.9 million in 2025. A projected spike in 2026 is due to midterm election coverage, which typically draws broader audiences. Advertising is projected to fall about 6.6% to $457.6 million in 2027, according to Kagan, compared with $489.8 million in 2025. Cash from distribution, however, is expected to keep rising.
CNN must also grapple with how much independence it will have under Paramount. Paramount Skydance CEO has put CBS News into unorthodox situations by holding a private dinner with personnel from the news division and the Trump administration and by hiring a factotum ombudsman to monitor CBS who has staunch partisan ties.
It's not unusual for "news" personnel to meet with politicians, as Jake Tapper could tell you of his fly-fishing with Gavin Newsom or freindship-building dinners with Anthony Fauci.
But what is unacceptable is meeting with conservative politicians.
News rivals wonder why CBS News seems so eager to put U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth into so many of its programs -- he was a big "get" interview during Tony Dokoupil's first "CBS Evening News" telecast and appeared on last week's season premiere of "60 Minutes" -- when Hegseth's Pentagon has been so hostile to traditional press outlets.
Yeah why would a "news" organization want to interview the Secretary of War during a war? Inconceivable!
Now on to the deal struck with the left-wing AGs -- which they admit is largely just a paper notion on a press release.
The solution -- for now -- is to be found in the formation of a board designed to govern both CNN and CBS News. Under the terms of an agreement unveiled Monday between Paramount and a set of attorneys general who were blocking the merger, this board is expected to set up guiding principles for "accuracy, independence, fairness and journalistic integrity."
...
Such bodies have proven largely ineffectual in the past.
"People are very nervous," one CNN staffer told the outlet. "It's dark. It's like when you do hurricane coverage. You see the storm spinning off the coast of Haiti and moving towards Florida and you're just waiting and you're like, 'Oh, s--t'."
"Bloodbath coming, including at CNN," a TV executive confided. "That's the next big step -- slashing and burning," while others also drew death-by-takeover comparisons.
The outbreak of fear and loathing at CNN goes back as far as June this year when, as Breitbart News reported, many CNN employees were so worried over the evolving merger they turned their boss's office into a makeshift "psychiatrist's couch," according to a report.
CNN staffers were worried over Paramount boss David Ellison's connections to Trump -- as well as that of Ellison's father, Larry, who is a huge Trump donor.
At the personal scale, the destruction of a relationship is emotionally disturbing and painful. Whether it is some formal means of destruction like a divorce or something informal like just gradually or suddenly severing contact, the relationship is wrecked and there are bound to be hard feelings on both sides. Both sides will feel wronged, and neither side is likely to accept responsibility for whatever caused the failure. That's not fun for anyone involved, but it is rare that there is a big blast radius when an interpersonal relationship is destroyed.
That is not true when the scale increases and the relationship at risk is not inter-personal but inter-national. That failure of relationships between nation-states are usually complex phenomena and require careful management to avoid courting real harm as the relationship unwinds or - even worse - shifts into actual policy-backed animosity. The worst kind of adjustment is from "friendly" to "unfriendly," skipping the much more manageable condition of "neutral but sometimes cooperative." The conversion into unfriendliness or even hostility is particularly bad when the countries involved are geographical neighbors, and so managing the end of the prior era is even more important. That is the point we are now reaching with the country that has long been one of our most important allies: our neighbor to the north.
Canada is doing everything in its power to pivot the relationship with the United States from historical friendliness to active hostility (though Canada would surely swap the country names in that sentence). This is somewhat tragic given the long, rich history of US-Canadian cooperation, essential cultural compatibility and our mutual - if lopsided - economic dependence. Carney has doubled down on everything Trudeau was doing that the US considered untenable to maintaining the status quo. Earlier this year, Canada doubled down on alignment with the CCP, essentially ending any chance at the USMCA surviving - even with changes. As I put it at the time:
Unless something changes, the intermediate-term effects of this breakdown will go well beyond mere trading economics. For generations, Canada and the United States have been vitally important partners to each other. We have been two distinct countries with compatible cultures, economic integration, deep diplomatic ties, stalwart military alliance and general friendliness at the micro and the macro. That is fracturing in real time as Ottawa pursues ever-tighter coupling with Beijing. The obvious distaste Canada's ruling class has for the United States in general and Donald Trump in particular is secondary, but serves to add yet more strain to an already strained relationship.
This strain has likely ended the USMCA. Whether it is also the beginning of the end for generally good US/Canada relations remains to be seen.
It happened much faster than I expected, but it is the end of generally good US-Canada relations. Last week, Carney and the EU announced that they are working toward bringing Canada into the EU - sort of. Canada, not being European, cannot join the EU according to the EU's own rules. Not to worry, though - the EU is the floating the idea of creating an entirely new kind of EU membership just for Canada. They're calling it "associate membership:"
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has welcomed the European Union's ambition for Canada to become its first "associate member", calling for closer cooperation on defence, critical minerals and energy security.
Carney told the European Parliament in Strasbourg on Thursday that Canada and Europe were "stronger together" in the face of "geopolitical rupture".
His comments came a day after European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen proposed "opening the door" to Canada's associate membership, a status that does not currently exist.
This is about one thing: the pissing match between Red China and the EU and the US. Setting aside the laughable quotes like He said a Canada-EU alliance would create a "beacon for other democracies", while stressing the two sides were not seeking to form a new power bloc and "This is about sovereignty, our ability to live as we wish. We do not seek power to dominate others,", attempting to move Canada into the European empire - and the empire's enthusiasm for it - is a clear signal that our status quo ante is now over. Carney is CCP-first and Europe-second, and has helped transform Canada into an adversary.
If we accept that the recent historical norm of close US-Canada alignment is now over - and perhaps we shouldn't, though it looks that way to me - the question for the United States becomes how to deal with it and, by extension, how to deal with the EU. It's a tricky problem because it must balance the mutual pain we can deliver to each other while still marginalizing the other player. There is a lot of trade with Canada and much of it is important. We can live without it, but that would suck and be incredibly disruptive if it happens all at once. Canada is betting that it can replace the US in trade if it disregards its sovereignty and culture and allows itself to be spit-roasted by Beijing and Brussels. Time will tell whether that is true, but the damage will be done regardless.
The funny part of this is that most of the United States' actions to date have been around maintaining the status quo with Canada while implementing new policies more broadly. We want a couple of things from Canada, but most of our focus has been further abroad, mostly focused on Red China, Latin America and the EU. By working to help Red China circumvent US trade policy and by aligning with the both Red China and the EU in direct opposition to the United States' goals in those places, Canada has decided to change its status from "neighbor with generally good but sometimes strained relations" to "adversary."
Much as it pains me to say it - because, for what it's worth, I generally like Canadians and Canada itself - the US must seize the initiative. With Canada now an adversary, the US should preemptively and unilaterally start implementing policies that reflect the new reality. The US must take action to adjust to the new normal and control the terms of disengagement with Canada wherever possible. This US could consider, in no particular order:
- Secure the northern border. An enormous unsecured border with an ally is one thing, but it must not be permitted with an adversary. Border walls, fewer and more-secure border crossings, permanent increase in Coast Guard presence on the Great Lakes, full inspections of all commercial road and rail traffic, etc. all should be implemented.
- Withdraw from the USMCA and immediately replace it with a new deal - or, preferably, a series of bilateral deals - with Mexico and other Latin American countries.
- Forbid any product manufactured outside of Canada, or manufactured in Canada by foreign companies that are not based in the United States, from entering the United States from Canada. Any company found to be mislabeling goods is banned from any export to the United States, in perpetuity.
- If the EU and Canada work out an arrangement to bring Canada into the EU, withdraw from NATO. It is insane to be the military power guaranteeing the security of what is the new Warsaw Pact.
- Require visas from travel from Canada. Many Canadians actually like the United States and it would be stupid to forbid them to come here, but add friction and make it clear that this is a response to Canadian policy changes, not an attack on friendly Canadians.
- Sever cooperation between the Federal Reserve and the Bank of Canada on policy coordination and information exchange.
- Buy as much Canadian energy as possible. The energy-producing provinces are much friendly to the United States than the political power provinces are, and every drop of Canadian oil that flows here is not flowing to Red China or the EU - and it would build goodwill with potential change-agents in Canada.
Are any of those good ideas? I don't know. Most of them probably aren't. Given that Canada has now made its adversarial status crystal clear, however, the US should act first and seize the initiative. It sucks. It would be better for everyone in both countries if Canada's government wasn't doing everything in its power to subvert US policy goals and destroy our once-strong relationship while simultaneously exposing Canadians to tremendous economic pain, but it is. Canada no longer wants to be under the US umbrella, and the US cannot afford tight integration with an adversary - so it is time to begin disentanglement
Left-wing HBO late-night host John Oliver is justifying the outrageous love leftists have for admitted murderer Luigi Mangione, saying anger over UnitedHealthcare’s policies might excuse the devotion liberals show for the killer... “The very fact that one company controls so much of America’s healthcare is what makes it so infuriating when you see just how bad people’s experiences with it can be,” he added, noting that “telling UnitedHealthcare to go fuck itself has become an entire genre of internet video,” Oliver continued in his efforts to wave away any moral concern over the shocking murder.
In its latest edition, Liberal Currents asks, “What Are Democrats Thinking?” A lot of them are thinking about a dead President Donald Trump, according to a new poll featured in the left-wing digital magazine.
The poll, conducted in partnership with the Center for Strategic Politics, finds about one out of every three Democrats responding would like to see Trump assassinated while speaking at a rally. The survey of 683 Dem voters found 23 percent would feel “very positive” about the violent scenario posed. Another 8 percent would feel “somewhat positive.”
. . .So much for the peace-loving left. . . But apparently military coups are an acceptable way of restoring said democracy and upholding the Constitution, according to a majority of respondents. To “safeguard the Constitution,” . . . “These attitudes are not fringe — they reflect an emergent assassination culture, grounded in far-left authoritarianism and increasingly normalized in digital discourse,” states the report, titled, “Assassination Culture: How Burning Teslas and Killing Billionaires Became a Meme Aesthetic for Political Violence.”
And while Trump unabashedly puts America’s interests first, his emphasis on action is a clear indictment of the United Nations’ failure to carry out its primary mission: to confront threats to world peace, such as Iran.
The president was even more explicit about his disdain for Turtle Bay’s efforts to impose a “far-left agenda” and for its “globalists,” “rogue” International Criminal Court, Human Rights Council and UNESCO.
Yes, “the United Nations has great, great potential,” Trump allowed; his criticisms aim to save it.
But that requires a massive shift in UN culture — and leadership.

Antarctica's four-foot-tall Emperor penguin may be the best-known member of the penguin family, but it is far from alone. Seventeen other penguin species live across the Southern Hemisphere, and many inhabit isolated islands that are difficult for scientists to reach and study.
That remoteness may help explain how an entire species of gentoo penguin escaped recognition for so long. The birds live on the Kerguelen Islands, known in French as the Desolation Islands, nearly 2,000 miles from any permanently inhabited landmass. An international team led by researchers in Chile and at the University of California, Berkeley has now identified the population as a distinct species, making it the first new penguin species named in more than 100 years. The findings were published in Communications Biology.
***
The newly recognized southeastern gentoo penguin, Pygoscelis kerguelensis, may face an uncertain future. Two of the other newly defined species could also be vulnerable as global warming reshapes the Antarctic and sub-Antarctic regions where they live. The southern gentoo, now known as Pygoscelis ellsworthi, is the only one of the four that lives in Antarctica. Climate projections suggest it may be affected relatively little and could even expand its range.
"In Antarctica, of course, other species, not the gentoo, are threatened by climate change," said Juliana Vianna, one of the paper's senior authors and a professor of ecosystems and environment at Andrés Bello National University in Santiago, Chile.
Of course - climate doom and gloom threatens them.
Norwegian chemical company Yara has inaugurated the largest industrial carbon capture facility in all of Europe this week. Set up at the company's ammonia and fertilizer plant in Sluiskil, the Netherlands, it can capture 800,000 tons of CO2 per year.
That carbon dioxide comes from its ammonia production process. Once it's captured, it's liquified, temporarily stored in those large white tanks you see in the photos, and subsequently transported by ship to Norway. This last bit is handled by Norwegian CO2 transport firm Northern Lights, which stores its cargo in a reservoir 8,530 ft (2,600 m) beneath the seabed.

For the first time in more than 100 years, scientists have identified a new species of wild cat.

How long until these kitties are threatened by the climate boogeyman?

Hundreds of flights across New Jersey, Philadelphia, New York City, and Boston were delayed Monday afternoon after the US Federal Aviation Administration issued a massive ground stop impacting thousands of travelers — right as the government starts testing an AI air traffic control system, though there’s no current indication that the two incidents are connected.
According to early reporting by Reuters, over 600 flights were delayed across Newark and Philadelphia alone, in addition to hundreds more across four other east coast airports. Dozens of imminent takeoffs were likewise aborted across the busy flight corridor when the ground stops — which appeared to roll northward from Philadelphia — were issued.
Preliminary reports indicate some sort of air traffic control glitch at one of the major airports along the East Coast, with Bloomberg TV reporting a circuit malfunction at an air traffic control facility in Philadelphia, and Reuters noting that a fiber optics cable was accidentally clipped in New Jersey.
Meanwhile, the BBC reports that Boston’s Logan International Airport is warning travelers to expect extensive delays due to broad “equipment issues across the north-east.” As one FAA spokesperson told CBS21, the ground stop is due to “issues with some frequencies at Philadelphia TRACON,” also known as Terminal Radar Approach Control, the radar system that guides planes in and out of airports.
At the time of writing, it isn’t exactly clear what’s behind the turmoil. What is clear is that the region’s air traffic control system is a tangled mess — and unfortunately, this could just be a sign of things to come.
Strikingly, the massive air traffic outage comes right as the Trump administration moves ahead with a controversial AI air traffic control system known as “Strategic Management of Airspace, Routes and Trajectories,” or SMART.
Researchers have captured direct radio wave emissions originating from a planet outside our Solar System.

But while many of us may hear of radio signals detected at a distant planet in our Galaxy and instinctively imagine a detection of alien life, in this case the discovery is not a sign that E.T. has been detected.

🚨 HOLY CRAP! President Trump just called out the UN globalists for attempting to FORCE mass migration to the west
"With your CEASELESS promotion of mass migration, these globalists are actively DESTROYING the greatest cultures and most extraordinary heritage in all of history."

🚨 BREAKING: President Trump's FULL blockbuster UN speech is getting rave reviews -- where he RAILED against the globalist ICC, called out the persecution of Christians, REFUSED to apologize for America First and more
The whole thing was 10/10! 🔥
TRUMP DID THE FOLLOWING:
- Called out the UN for ignoring Christian persecution worldwide while obsessing over America
- Demanded every ICC member resign immediately from that rogue anti-American tribunal
- Called Communist Cuba a failed state that will fall, then watched officials storm out
- Declared there is no human right to illegal immigration, only the right to stay a sovereign nation
- Scorched UNESCO globalists for pushing mass migration that destroys Western cultures
- Said there is NO global government and there will be NO global taxes while he is president
- Bragged that America cut the UN budget 15% and killed over 4,000 bureaucracy jobs
- Boasted of the most secure border in American history with ZERO illegal aliens admitted
- Declared America is BACK, stronger than ever, and in a GOLDEN AGE after Biden's dark age
- Mic-dropped failed globalist leaders: while others talked peace, he MADE peace
- Vowed Iran will NEVER get a nuclear weapon and said the Middle East bully is finished
- Teased a huge post-election decision: strike a deal, or annihilate the Islamic Republic
- Exposed Iran as weak and desperate, not strong, and predicted Iranian terror's end
- Took a victory lap over capturing Maduro and signing the largest oil deal in history
- Laid down the Donroe Doctrine: no threats get a foothold in the Western Hemisphere
- Refused to apologize for crushing drug cartels, calling them the ISIS of the hemisphere
- Locked in permanent Greenland security rights that shut out China, Russia, and adversary investment
- Renamed Artificial Intelligence to Super Intelligence and vowed America stays #1 over China
Well he didn't coin that. People routinely speak of "AGI" -- "Artificial General Intelligence" -- and "ASI" -- "Artificial Super-Intelligence." Neither one has been achieved yet.
- Closed with a nationalist call to strengthen nations, grow economies, and God bless America

Five Years After Covid, a Lesbian Bar Finally Relaxed Its Covid Mask Policy, Which Required Wearing a KN-95 Mask at All Times. The Backlash Is, Get This, Unhinged.
—Disinformation Expert Ace
Five years after covid.
Five years after covid.
I just want to make it clear that this is five years after covid.
Five years after covid, and they're still shrieking and shrilling over a bar relaxing a requirement to wear KN-95 masks.
Not banning the masks. Just not requiring them. Now, they're only suggested.
Oh -- and the requirement is only relaxed one night per week. On Saturday.
All other days of the week -- mask up. Covid will kill you.
A Western Mass. lesbian bar required KN-95 masks. When it changed the rules, all hell broke loose.
The August 31 Instagram post from Last Ditch Bar and Arts Venue, a lesbian bar in Greenfield, was upbeat, teasing a new DJ lineup and a volunteer meetup. But partway down the rainbow-hued post labeled "UPDATES!" was a sentence that would splinter the queer community in this small Pioneer Valley city and beyond.
"It is with love we inform our immunocompromised disabled divas we will be opening Saturday nights as mask optional," wrote Last Ditch.
Previously, patrons were required to wear a well-fitted KN-95 mask "or better" at all times.
The new policy was not received with love.
"Just say you're being complicit in a mass disabling event and get it over with," wrote one commenter.
"people like you kill disabled people in the name of your own leisure and convenience," posted another.
This is almost as spicy as the Intercepted Reddit Messages.
"I hope your venue gets firebombed for robbing my fellow immunocompromised people of their Saturday plans just to scrape extra revenue from ablists [sic]," wrote a third.
The thread grew to 442 comments, some supportive, but many furious.
Leftists furious about something they think they're "owed" but aren't getting?!
This. Changes. Everything.
The people running the bar were accused of being ableist -- eugenicist, even -- for relaxing their signature policy in the face of what commenters consider an ongoing pandemic (Greenfield hasn't reported any COVID cases in more than two months).
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."
Now, you're not going to believe this, but it turns out that apologizing to an SJW does not appease them, but encourages them to become even more shrill and hateful in demanding further concessions.
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."
...
Quaint, crunchy Greenfield (population 17,700) isn't a bad place for a COVID-cautious lesbian bar in 2026, all things considered. Rainbow flags deck store windows downtown. On a recent weekend, a community theater was advertising a workshop for masked performers, down the street from a bookstore with a "medical masks required" sign in the window. Men in ponytails and N-95s were ordering hibiscus tea from the coffee shop off the main square.
Greenfield is close, both physically and spiritually, to Northampton, sometimes referred to as "Lesbianville, U.S.A." In the Pioneer Valley, "every bar is a lesbian bar," a friend who lives there told me.
Nevertheless, Last Ditch, which opened last year as a bar for "dykes, transsexuals, gender freaks, workers, and their friends," is struggling.
...
"Our mission is to create systems of care and action and aid," says Jackie Matellian, one of the founders.
When it first opened, Last Ditch did fairly well. Customers fondly remember a raucous opening night with a (clothed) simulation of a lesbian sex act -- masks in place -- on the dance floor.
How dare Sydney Sweeney sexualize women.
But over time, foot traffic to the bar slowed. More and more visitors said they didn't have the cover fee; the bar let them in anyway. The owners fell behind on bills and couldn't pay themselves or the people who worked there. So, after consulting with the Massachusetts LGBT Chamber of Commerce, they came up with a plan to bend one of their rules -- and hopefully attract more customers.
...
One of Last Ditch's most vocal critics, the head of another queer COVID-conscious collective in Western Massachusetts, a performer and artist who goes by Soe Noire, has been posting complaints about Last Ditch for days. Now, Noire joins the meeting on Zoom. He and other critics begin to flood the Zoom chat with irate messages, which are dutifully read aloud to the group.
"He"? Is this a trans "man" by any chance?
"Noire" is the feminine form of "Noir." Does "he" know that?
...
When it comes time for one of the mediators, a licensed therapist, to speak, she takes a conciliatory tone.
"I love that you are here online," she says. But "these platforms alienate us from each other. I'm talking about social media." She asks whether participants can try to remove themselves from "places of righteousness."
"I would love to get to a place where we all know each other's face, where we all know each other's name," she continues.
"It's messed up that the mediator is dismissing those attending virtually. That's not accessibility," someone responds in the chat.<
"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.
No shit really?
The owner tried to femsplain that she was losing money and deeply in debt and felt she had to do something to increase patronage -- or matronage -- or else she'd have to close it down.
Showing weakness to an SJW is never a good move.
"I never really wanted to do this," Matellian says, beginning to cry under her mask. "I don't think I'm doing a very good job."
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.
The online critics are unmoved. "[Y]ou chose to use your time to spill tears and center your feelings," Noire posts in the chat. "This is incredibly racist and deflecting behavior."
...
Last Ditch's landlord wants $3,900 in back rent by Monday.
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."
Oh, a business is not primarily a vehicle for revolutionary communist praxis?
Praxis is a bullshit term that just means "practice" -- there is theory, and then there is praxis, putting theory into practice. Stupid uneducated communists use an obscure Latin word that means "practice" to make their stupid ideas sound smart.
Why not just say "practice"? Because that wouldn't sound -- how many quotation marks do I have to use to express my sneering revulsion -- " " " " " " smart " " " " " " like "praxis" does.
Now we delve into the mystery of Noire's many-layered sexual identity, and it's as fake and gay and stupid as you were expecting.
I reach Noire, who identifies as a gender-expansive lesbian and uses he/him pronouns, by Zoom a few days later. I ask whether he has any sympathy for those running Last Ditch, given the profound financial strain they are under. "No," he replies. (Noire asked to be referred to by his stage name because he says he has been stalked and fears for his safety.) "I'm not going to give grace" when someone is "spreading rhetoric that can and will get people hurt," he says, referring to the fact that the bar's account had "liked" a few comments supporting the relaxed rule.
Noire, who lives about 50 minutes south of Greenfield, estimates he has visited the bar seven or eight times. But he won't return unless there is new leadership. "You can't repair a house that's on fire," he says.
"He's" been there eight fucking times and "he" acts like he owns the place.
I remember a comment on Last Ditch's original announcement, after the pile-on had begun: @scream_guy_wazzzuuuuuuup asked, "i'm sorry, all 400 of these crazy people live in GREENFIELD MASSACHUSETTS????"
I ask whether the people behind the angriest posts have genuine connections to the bar -- are they real customers?
Young and Matellian say yes, they know many of the detractors.
"There are people that are close to us and love us who are really disappointed in our decision, and that is completely understandable," says Young, who says her sister is one of the vocal critics online. "Like, it's so understandable why they feel hurt by the way we did it and the fact that we did it."
"They have passion for the space," Matellian adds.
Just one more glimpse of the seething hormonal insanity:
Just after midnight, one patron is left at the bar, a regular who works at the Mexican restaurant next door. She wonders aloud about holding a Lady Gaga themed night, but Mixxy demurs. "Gaga is canceled," she says. "Gaga is Zionist."
The Boston Globe ran a graphic showing some of the unhinged comments:
Here are some of them. Different messages are separated by line breaks.
the lack of masks in spaces literally kills people & stops disabled people from participating in society.
I hope your venue gets firebombed for robbing my fellow immunocompromised people of their Saturday plans just to scrape extra revenue from ablists
Like was this deliberately written to be alienating, rude, and ableist??
enjoy contributing to national covid spikes and potentially catching covid on mask optional nights then
just say you don't want to be around queer disabled people and be done with it. 🙏🏼
I love the use of "prayer hands" in a hateful message.
YOU'VE just decided that disabled peoples lives are debatable. And that's fine, it's pretty typical of white leftists.
It feels wildly insensitive and dismissive :(
Being in community requires tolerating discomfort. The cost of not masking for many is lifelong disability via long covid
Oh, she's on disability. You and I are paying for her to sit on her couch and scream hate into the internet every day.
seeing these people whine about masks being a little inconvenient for them is INFURIATING.
how could we consider you "community" if you act in a way that is killing us.
if youre only concerned with protecting yourself at the cost of DEATH for others, you are no better than a fascist.
What is truly being WILD is announcing a change of this magnitude in a cavalier, callous fashion.
if you spread diseases that disable and kill, you do not "love me".
Does COVlD not disable people on Saturday nights? Very confused by the disregard for community care
A venue wouldn't run a "hatred and discrimination night" to ensure that prejudiced people have a night where they feel included. Inclusivity is about setting basic standards for human dignitity.
people like you kill disabled people in the name of your own leisure and convenience.
if this were the AIDS epidemic, youd be on the side of people who were against prophylactics and who believed AIDS patients should be hidden from the public, left to die alone.
shut up, ablism apologist. Gods, I'd bet money you are even more horrible to black queer people if you can't even sit your ability privileged ass down and listen to disabled queers.
As others have shared, my family is also withdrawing financial support due to the decision and its truly heartless presentation to the community. It's not too late to reverse this decision and apologize
If u wanna pander to capitalism and white supremacy go right ahead, you wouldn't be the first white and white adjacent people in history to do so.
How performative and grotesque.
Classic white and white aligned people and their "nice" culture it's so backhanded!!!
spreading deadly and disabling disease IS violent and YOU should educate YOURself.
just bc the vast majority of humans in this society don't care about killing or disabling others, that doesn't make it okay
Not having a mask requirement on Saturdays IS going to spread disease, it IS going to cause re infection, and trans and black folks (who are high risk to long Covid and complications) CAN and WILL die from this.
What a complete joke. Of course you and LD think it's "silly" because black and disabled peoples collective health are disposable to yall.
I'm seeing a lot of "deserving" talk here. A lot of entitlement.
The "with love" also lands really hollow since it's followed by a "but we decided to not care about protecting you on Saturdays". Shameful misalignment of values to praxis, and disappointing to see.
"anti-profit" bar but they cater to capital within a year lol
some people cannot afford to get sick. These people deserve to have a space that is safe for them to socialize because they cannot go anywhere else.
i am hurt and upset by your glib and flippant attitude around it ESPECIALLY given your entire mission and foundation was based on creating a masked space for the immunocompromised community
Just say you're being complicit in a mass disabling event and get it over with
i will continue to navigate feeling excluded by a large portion of the wmass queer community as i have been for many years now
disabled folks don't have other spaces we can frequent, largely because of people like you who've accepted the culture of ableism and don't want to mask to keep their communities safe.
Everyone is at risk of Long COVID. Everyone can and will experience multiply disabling impacts from repeat infections
masking isn't just for disabled folks. everyone is at risk. masking is community care. this establishment, apparently, is not
what a massive bummer.
Yikes on bikes.
Yikes on bikes indeed.
Communists, mentally-ill dregs, and bitter entitled invalids on disability are not the kind of customer base that results in a prosperous business.
Meanwhile: Why are people turning on the "queer community"? I can't figure it out.
Usually ugly bullies and nasty mentally-ill people are so popular and beloved!

Bloomberg-Backed Climate Group Paying Salaries of Democratic State AG Officials Quietly Shuts Down Amid Congressional, Legal Scrutiny
The initiative's website states that it is 'historical material,' and its leaders no longer list it as their employer on their LinkedIn pages
A group housed at the New York University School of Law and backed by billionaire climate activist Michael Bloomberg quietly closed its doors in late August amid congressional scrutiny into its funding and operations. The so-called State Energy and Environmental Impact Center's signature initiative involved placing paid, climate-focused "fellows" in Democrat-controlled state attorney general offices nationwide as those offices sued the oil industry and other energy providers.
The center's sudden closure comes as a surprise: It continued to update its public database tracking state attorney general actions relevant to its climate priorities until Aug. 31, the date of its apparent closure. It also released an episode of its in-house podcast, Recharged with the State Impact Center, less than three weeks prior to that date. And in its 2025 "year in review" report released last December, the center indicated that it would continue operating throughout 2026.
But prior to its closure, the center was coming under increased pressure for effectively paying the salaries of state law enforcement agencies that were pursuing lawsuits in line with the center's priority of going after energy providers.
...
The disappearance of the center comes as it faced multiple congressional and state-level investigations over alleged ethics issues related to its funding and its practice of paying the salaries of officials it placed in state attorney general offices.Media reports and lawmakers often referred colloquially to those officials as "Bloomberg fellows" because Bloomberg helped found the center in 2017 with two seed grants worth $2.8 million each. Tax filings show that Bloomberg provided the grants through his eponymous charity, the Bloomberg Family Foundation--one of the country's most influential charities--that focuses on climate activism.
The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee opened an investigation into the center last year, stating that its activities "raise questions as to whether participating state attorneys general are acting on independent judgement to best serve the interests of their states' citizens."
"The Bloomberg-NYU program effectively offers states partisan money from a billionaire to carry out official functions of their offices," the panel wrote at the time. Bloomberg, it continued, "disguises his donations as 'philanthropy'" and uses the impact center as a mechanism "to skirt legislative bodies and effect partisan policy."
In a statement to the Free Beacon, the Oversight Committee's chairman Rep. James Comer (R., Ky.) said he remained concerned that the center "undermined public integrity and pushed radical Democrat policies that increase energy costs for Americans, despite billing itself as 'nonpartisan.'"
"The Committee is glad to see that this center will no longer be in operation," he added.

🚨Fairfax County Supervisor Andres Jimenez who was clocked driving 104 mph in a 70 next to a school bus got a great deal in court.
His reckless driving criminal charge, which carried potential jail time, was reduced all the way down to an improper driving traffic infraction. Improper driving is several steps below reckless driving and carries no jail time.
For comparison, in 2014, Washington Nationals outfielder Jayson Werth was convicted of reckless driving and sentenced to 10 days in jail for driving his Porsche over 100 mph on the Capital Beltway (Source: ESPN). Fairfax County General District Court Judge Penney Azcarate said at the time that the jail sentence was appropriate given the excessive speed.

The grand jury reviewing the evidence in the death of Nolan Wells has found that no criminal charges are warranted at this point, according to the Jackson County Grand Jury Report released late Monday night.
The report says that the "position of, condition of, time of discovery, and location" of the 18-year-old's body off the coast of Mississippi this July is "consistent with drowning."
Wells vanished after he and friends had gone out celebrating the Fourth of July holiday on barrier islands off the Gulf Coast. His body was recovered in the waters off Horn Island two days later.
Authorities have previously said they believe the college football player drowned, but the final determination would go to a grand jury that would review all the case materials, including the state medical examiner's completed autopsy report, to decide whether Wells' death involved a crime.
The grand jury of 23 people, convened last week, found "no credible evidence to support the public allegations" that anyone riding to or from the island that day surrounding Wells "engaged in any criminal conduct related to" his death.
The panel was comprised of what the report called a "cross section of citizens" from the area: 13 men and ten women, including "12 Caucasians, five African Americans, one Asian, two Hispanics, two Native Americans, and one individual who preferred 'other.'" Their ages ranged from 27 years old to 68 years old.
The grand jury heard from 43 witnesses and reviewed materials including physical evidence collected at the scene, digital evidence, police reports and interviews, videos, images and maps collected during the investigation.
That Wells drowned is a conclusion by the process of elimination, the grand jury report said, adding that the condition of the body made it harder to figure out. The long-awaited toxicology report was "not particularly informative as decomposition fluid is an unreliable source for evaluating substance levels within a body."
The panel found, however, that Wells had no cocaine in his system and no evidence he'd ever used it. The panel did find that Wells bought alcohol with a fake ID, and no adults of alcohol-buying age provided any to him on the island that day.
There was bruising on the back of Wells' head, which was "not a fatal injury," the report said. The grand jury "found no evidence of any fatal injury or organic disease to Mr. Wells' body."
The media refuses to report on black crimes against whites -- there is still no national reporting on the white girls dragged into the bushes by their hair to be beaten on by black "youths" during a Mostly Peaceful "Teen Takeover" -- on the theory that reporting black on white crimes would incense whites who would then start attacking blacks.
On the other hand, they are determined to report fake White on Black Hate Crimes, despite there being proof that whites were not involved.
Leftist politicians like Ayanna Presley and the media keep claiming that a black student was "lynched," despite there being videotape of him walking into the woods where he was found hanged carrying a rope.
He brought a rope for his own lynching? Or was he just walking around randomly with a rope and coincidentally ran into a Lynching Party who thought "wow, the guy brought his own lynchin' rope, must be our day!"
Meanwhile, the AP keeps reporting that a black woman found hanged is triggering black people, reminding them of whites lynching blacks.
They fail to report that there was a man arrested in the crime -- a black man who knew the victim personally.
The death of Tasia Fortune, a Black Mississippi woman found hanging from a tree on Aug. 3, has stirred distressing memories of the grim history of lynchings across the U.S. South. pic.twitter.com/sCmPZt6C8K
There is a waterfall of poison pumped into the black community in America by the media, Hollywood, academia, and black community leaders. A never ending cascade of poisonous misinformation and it breaks minds and souls. It’s deeply, deeply evil. https://t.co/I0RLX0mLYh
@AP hates you and wants Americans divided and angry.
There is literally no other possible explanation for this garbage.
It's more than that. AP wants to boost black voter turnout and they're willing to lie and incite violence against whites to get it.
If they just wanted us "divided and angry," they would also report on the very much more numerous examples of black attacks on whites. They don't -- they completely embargo them.
BREAKING: Maryland “lynching” death ruled a suicide. They pushed the story that a white man hung him.
The medical examiner just ruled he hung himself. No other trauma. Video shows nobody else there. pic.twitter.com/NqdbRUyJen
If the media is concerned that reporting black on white crimes will incite whites to attack blacks, shouldn't they be even more concerned that misreporting fake white on black crimes will incite blacks to attack whites?
Angry Lesbian Karen Tries to Cancel Football Coach for Laughing at a Meme and Then Cries As She's Cancelled from TV Plus: Colin Kaepernick Persists
—Disinformation Expert Ace
Pictured: Lesbian Sports-Scold Jana Shortal,
aka Gender Ambiguous Max Headroom
First: There was some AI fake of a football coach slapping a female reporter for asking an impudent question.
This Angry Lesbian Karen demanded he apologize for merely chuckling at the silly AI video. She was trying to cancel a (spit) man for laughing at a joke.
Not that these two things are necessarily related -- apart from the fact that I doubt that male sports fans want to subject themselves to daily political lectures from an entitled and bitter lesbian Karen-- but she's now been booted from her TV perch and will appear only on streaming.
Breaking The News, KARE 11's weekday news analysis show hosted by Jana Shortal, is leaving Twin Cities TVs and moving to streaming only.
KARE 11 owner TEGNA announced Monday evening that the show, which has been running for more than 10 years after the 6 p.m. nightly news broadcast, is moving to a "new home exclusively on the station's streaming programs."
Angry Lesbian Karen is angry:
Queer Minnesota anchor who shamed Arch Manning for laughing at an AI video is on the verge of tears as she tells her fans that she has been booted from her TV show.
Jana Shortal's voice cracked as she told her followers she was demoted to online only.
BTW, this Brave Defender of Women in Sports of course thinks that men beating girls in girls sports is a made-up Fake Problem that only stupid bigots worry about.
Jana wants to pretend she cares about women in sports, while championing boys dominating girls on the field and invading their private spaces.

Colin Kaepernick doubled down on his comparison between the NFL and the slave trade during a conversation with, wait for it, former ESPN commentator Ryan Clark.
Clark asked Kaepernick about the comparison, which he made during the 2021 Netflix series "Colin in Black & White."
"What they don't want you to understand is what's being established is a power dynamic," Kaepernick narrates during the series while depicting the NFL Scouting Combine as a slave auction.
"Before they put you on the field, teams poke, prod and examine you, searching for any defect that might affect your performance. No boundary respected. No dignity left intact."
Instead of challenging Kaepernick on the ludicrous and offensive comparison, Clark asked him the following during an interview on his "Pivot" podcast:
"When did you truly start to have the realization that [the combine] reminds [you] of the slave trade?"
Kaepernick was eager to answer.
"You get to the point, where it's like, 'Strip down to your drawers,'" he responded. "It feels like a meat market."
He added that he did not have the "historical perspective at the time" in 2011 to understand what he now considers a "parallel" to a slave auction.
Kaepernick acknowledged that the NFL pays players millions of dollars. However, he argued that the "process and intentions behind the process [are] the same" as slavery.
...
It is hard to imagine a less honest or intelligent conversation taking place in sports media this year.
Grievance "studies" were created to agitate very stupid people to serve communist politics. The bait is that these "studies" are designed to be so simplistic that even retards can understand them, so they make very stupid people feel smart.
You can make a fortune making stupid people feel smart.
...
For context, Kaepernick has not played in the NFL since January 2017. He continues to claim that he is "ready" to return to the league and trains every morning as if he is still an NFL starting quarterback.
Really? Then why does he have big sagging moobs?
Former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick, 38, says he is still ready to play in the NFL and is just waiting for a team to call him up.

Maybe. But also, his grift depends on him pushing the narrative that he's a pro football standout that's being unfairly kept out of the racist league due to being a Strong and Empowered Half-Black Man.
He'll be saying "Put me in coach, I'm ready" until he's fucking 76 and weighs 265 pounds.
By the way: Google identifies him as a "civil rights activist."
Claiming he's an Escaped Football Slave (who wants to go back to Slavery, but is being kept out of Slavery by Racist Slave-Masters) is the only thing putting food on his table, and based on his bust size, that's a big bill every week.
After Supreme Court Declines to Overrule State Supreme Court, Federal District Court Steps In to Allow Missouri to Use Its New Congressional Map for Midterm Elections
—Disinformation Expert Ace
This is good for us. The "new" map, created in 2025, has been in use for over a year but was recently disallowed by the Missouri Supreme Court, which ordered the state to suddenly toss out the map that had been in use in favor of the previous 2022 map.
Isn't it strange that courts don't worry about the "chaos" of overturning established election procedures when doing so would help Democrats? And that this "chaos" factor is only used to overrule Republican initiatives, like Trump's EO to the Post Office to scan mail-in ballots for actual voter eligibility?
Well, the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals apparently does think that the "chaos" factor should help Republicans just as other courts use it to help Democrats. He overruled the Missouri Supreme Court, pointing out that the "new" 2025 map has been the one candidates have been operating under for over a year and it would cause chaos to suddenly revert to the 2022 map, which has different district maps than the ones which have voted for the current candidates.
A federal appeals court ruled Monday that Missouri must use its Republican-favored 2025 redistricting map in November, despite the Supreme Court declining twice this month to intervene in the dispute.
The Supreme Court allowed a decision from the Missouri Supreme Court to take effect earlier this month, which ordered Missouri Secretary of State Denny Hoskins to use the 2022 map that favored Republicans in a 6-2 split.
The new 2025 map, which was used in the state primaries last month, favors Republicans in a 7-1 split by erasing Democratic Rep. Emanuel Cleaver's Kansas City-based district, according to Politico.
The 8th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled the new map causes the least amount of confusion for voters this year because they have already used the map this year, but it allowed redistricting opponents one week to get relief from the Supreme Court.
"For approximately one year, Missouri operated under the 2025 map," the panel majority wrote. "During that time, Missourians filed to run for Congress, met candidates, watched campaign advertisements, received campaign mail and voted under the 2025 map.
"Any confusion stems from the last-minute decision by a state court to switch the congressional map," it added.
That's a little bit of good news to start this rainy day.
Lindsay Clancy's lawyer, Kevin Reddington, is asking the court to allow for a thorough investigation of the holdout juror ... including access to his phone records and a review of his 2021 criminal charge for allegedly assaulting his wife.
The attorney filed a document in court recently asking the judge to let his team see the confidential juror questionnaire and "Juror Doe's record from the statewide domestic violence registry."
Reddington is asking for the juror's mobile phone records -- calls, texts, and data from August 27 through September 4.
The time period covers the dates the jury was deliberating over whether Lindsay should be found guilty of murdering her three kids.
The request also asks the court to preserve all the jury notes and the court's responses.

Look up the term "Useful Idiot" in the dictionary, and it is illustrated with a photograph of Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut.
Normally I would assume malign motives when a politician is so doctrinaire and so willing to spout the tedious and predictable progressive cant that can be summarized in a few sentences by any college sophomore, bong in hand, on a Saturday night in the dorms.
And I have no doubt that Chris Murphy is indeed an evil prick, but he is also in the running for the United States Senate Booby Prize for dumbest senator. How he plans to achieve the goal that even Cuba, China, and the UK struggle with is beyond me, but that doesn't stop him from babbling this incoherent nonsense!
"That's why regulating the internet so that you're spending less time alone on Instagram should be an important government project," he said. "And if people are feeling more powerful and less lonely, then they are going to be less likely to fall for a bulls--- demagogue like Donald Trump. And what I say in the book is that if you really think about the things that make you more connected and make you more powerful, they're not actually super partisan."
"...they're not actually super partisan." Obviously the transcript left off the "dude" at the end of the sentence. What exactly is Senator Retard proposing? AI monitoring of everyone's social media usage, with preprogrammed cutoffs in the event anybody reaches a predetermined number of views of right-of-center videos or reels or TikToks or whatever?
Why...Yes! That's exactly what he is proposing! And of course he and his other knuckle-dragging, booger-eating retard buddies in the Senate would pass "sensible" legislation mandating this.
That's not authoritarian...that is full-blown dictatorship, and little Chrissy of the small brain is all for it. These are the people who love FLOCK cameras and shouting down speakers on university campuses and dropping the charges against arsonists because they were "mostly peaceful" and cheering on the maniacs who saw Charlie Kirk's murder and shouted, "MORE!"
Our rights protecting us from government overreach are not negotiable, and pushing back against the constant encroachment by all government entities is a noble and necessary activity. Freedom and liberty are, by definition, messy in comparison to the locked-down society that these little Stalins crave.
As the saying goes..."The 1st Amendment is protected by the 2nd Amendment." That's not hyperbole...that is reality!

On Sept. 10, 2026, one year from the date that Charlie Kirk was horrifically assassinated on the nearby Utah Valley University campus, Utah student Sara Larsen approached members of the campus College Republicans chapter while they were tabling on campus and attempted to hand them a cake celebrating Kirk’s annihilation. The white cake was decorated with blood red icing reading “Happy Kirkiversary.” In the eyes of the university, the public blowback Sara Larsen received over her “Happy Kirkiversary” cake was the fault of the College Republicans—because they posted a picture of it. The university was attempting punish the College Republicans for exposing Larsen’s public celebration of Charlie Kirk’s death.
Again, this is like blaming the Jews incinerated in the crematoria for the smoke conditions over Southern Poland.
More than half of US college students say controversial speakers should be banned from their campuses, with a record-high number adding that violence is acceptable to stop them, a disturbing study shows.
The results provide a dangerous and “sobering picture” of cancel culture on US campuses, according to the expansive six-year study of almost 300,000 college undergraduates nationwide by the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression.
“The atmosphere isn’t just cautious — it’s hostile,” the study’s authors wrote. “Students continue to show low tolerance for controversial speakers, and troublingly, more believe it’s acceptable to shout down a speaker, block access to events, or even resort to violence to silence campus speech than ever before.”
The percentage of students who supported disruptive or even violent tactics to suppress controversial speakers meanwhile went up between 2021 and 2025.
An astonishing 34% of students nationally believe violence is acceptable to stop a campus speech, up from 20% in 2022.
More than half of students, or 54%, support blocking others from attending a campus speech, while almost three-quarters, 71%, call for shouting down a speaker they don’t like.
The top 10 most intolerant campuses were predominantly in one state: Massachusetts, the survey added.
Conservative views are most under attack on college campuses, according to an interpretation of the data by the Missing Data Depot.

If you want evidence that teachers’ unions are nothing more than taxpayer-funded left-wing rackets, look no further than the evidence dug up by the Progressive Policy Institute — a group founded by centrist Democrats...So, what are these unions doing with all that money they collect if not fighting to fulfill their stated missions? Turns out, they are far more interested in getting Democrats elected and pushing far-left causes... This includes more than $2.4 million to the far-left Center for American Progress, $7 million to the Democratic Governors Association, nearly $26 million to the Democrats’ House Majority PAC and $32 million to the Senate Majority PAC. And, maybe because they figure it will cut down on class sizes, more than $400,000 to pro-abortion groups...Add it all up, and you have organizations that extort money from taxpayers to finance a protection racket for themselves, their Democratic patrons, and various far-left causes (which few taxpayers would support), while engaging in fraud by pretending to be looking out for the interests of public-school students. We’re not lawyers, but we’d say that classifies as a criminal racket under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act.
Welcome to the new America; these are all socialist operations, diametrically opposed to the reconciling virtues of our nation’s founding as a constitutional republic. The “party” name Democratic no longer applies. We are at war, and our nation has become a thousand battlegrounds.

ICE Homeland Security Investigations and the FBI are leading the investigation into the officer-involved shooting, which took place on the north side of Austin Sunday afternoon. Officials say the Venezuelan illegal alien had a final order of removal from an immigration judge and was being targeted for arrest and removal from the U.S. The man remains in ICE custody in stable condition after being treated and released from a local hospital.

“This alien from the Philippines pleaded guilty to illegally voting in the 2024 election in Pennsylvania,” DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin said in a statement. “Thanks to the hard work of the men and women of HSI, as well as our partners at the Department of Justice, this alien will soon face justice for her efforts to subvert our elections. American elections are for Americans only.”
The Houthi advances threaten one of Saudi Arabia’s key alternatives to the Strait of Hormuz for exporting oil, increasing pressure on global energy markets already strained by the wider regional conflict between Iran, Israel, the U.S., and U.S.-aligned Arab states. For the Trump administration, the escalation also creates pressure to support Saudi Arabia, with the risk that expanding U.S. military involvement in Yemen could broaden the conflict.

When a dictatorship starts demolishing its prisons and bulldozing its mass graves, the world should ask a simple question. What is it frightened of? The Iranian regime has begun demolishing Gohardasht Prison in Karaj, one of the most infamous sites of political repression in the Islamic Republic. The Bulldozers Can’t Bury The Truth In Iran

The findings raise serious questions about the oversight of taxpayer-funded childcare programs in the Democrat-run city, particularly Seattle’s Child Care Assistance Program, which provides funding to daycares serving low-to-middle-income families. If confirmed, the fraud could undermine public trust in such programs and divert resources from families in genuine need. More Somali Daycares Under Investigation for $5 MILLION in Suspected Fraud.

The fine adds to growing European regulatory pressure on major U.S. technology companies, with Google now facing another substantial financial penalty over how it handled user data. The case could increase pressure on Big Tech firms to tighten privacy practices across Europe, while raising questions about whether the EU’s regulatory approach will lead to higher compliance costs and more disputes with American technology companies. Google Fined $463 Million by European Union.

Except for Australian prices - it's region-sensitive - which are fuck-off-expensive.
Anyway, Googlebook OS is Android which is Linux, in this case Debian under the hood, updated with a user interface that doesn't look like a Subaru that hasn't been washed for forty years.
Pretty good hardware specs especially the 2880x1600 120Hz 14" OLED panel. But I got a laptop with one of those six months ago, with twice the memory and storage, and cheaper too.
Can you just download - or even buy - and install Googlebook OS on your own hardware?
I'm not saying it's bad. I'm just saying it's annoying to watch idiots trumpet its speed based on one obviously broken benchmark. At least Tom's Hardware ran one realistic multicore benchmark which immediately left the Mac Studio face down in the dirt - slower even than Intel's miserable workstation offerings - but they didn't bother to put that in the headline.
Good evening Horde. The time has come for Monday shenanigans. The bar is open and the refrigerator has been freshly re-stocked with A&W Rootbeer.
Welcome to the Monday night ONT which means vintage overnight fun and games. Pull up a chair and join the fun. Good will offerings of amusing puns are encouraged. Be nice to your fellow commenters and AoS contributors. Pants are optional. This ONT is a Tucker, Candace, Megyn, and Bill Kristol free zone. Fauci is fair game.

The Monday ONT has dialed up the wayback machine tonight with very random results.
7-Up building in Portland - 1976.
It was located at NE 37th Avenue and Sandy Boulevard in Portland's Hollywood District. The building remains, but is no longer a 7-Up building. Likewise for the Dunes Motel.
Ross Diner in Quechee, Vermont in 1995.
The diner is a classic Worcester Lunch Car from 1946. The car originally operated as the Ross Diner in Holyoke, Massachusetts. After it closed in 1990 it was moved briefly to New Hampshire, then to Quechee Gorge Village. The car has been a Foley Brothers Beer Garden in recent years, but the interweb implies that this location may be recently closed?
Army-Navy Football game in 1916 at the New York Polo Grounds. Army won 15-7.
Duesenberg Automobile Company Factory at 1501 West Washington Street, Indianapolis, Marion County, Indiana. 1984 photo. The building stopped operating as a Deusenberg factory in 1937.
Laurel Engine No. 1, a horse-drawn steam fire engine of the York, Pennsylvania, fire department, posed in front of the Laurel Fire Company station in 1911. The Laurel station (now part of the still-operating Laurel-Rex Fire Company House on S. Duke Street) is one of the oldest continuously used firehouses in the United States.

L.F. Kitts General Merchandise store in Maynardville, Union County, Tennessee in 1935 (modest crop of the original photo)
U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey field truck being serviced, circa 1937.
The U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey was the United States' first civilian scientific agency and mapped shorelines, prepared tidal and nautical charts, etc. It was under the Department of Commerce before being folded into the new National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in 1970.
Logging in Tillamook County, Oregon, circa 1941
US Post Office, 401 North Carson Street, Carson City, Nevada, 1940.
Construction begun 1888 and it was occupied in 1891. It housed the post office and U.S. District Court until the post office left in 1970. It later served as the Nevada State Library and now the Nevada Commission on Tourism is its main occupant.
Winterview Farm Log Cabin, near Lexington, Rockbridge County, Virginia (about 0.1 mile south of I-81, 1.5 miles northeast of the U.S. 11 interchange). Circa 1971. I can't definitively confirm whether it still exists.

She didn't just swim away: she came back with gifts.
After rescuers freed her calf from a fishing net, a mother dolphin began regularly leaving fresh fish on a dock as a touching "thank you" gesture.
In July 2025, a dolphin calf became entangled in fishing gear near a marina. A man named Tom and other local boat owners successfully freed the calf and reunited it with its distressed mother. Days later, people at a nearby dock started discovering neatly placed fresh fish each morning.
Initially suspecting a prank, they checked surveillance footage and were stunned to see a dolphin surfacing at night, gently placing fish on the wooden dock before swimming off. The behavior was soon linked to the recent rescue, leading many to believe the mother dolphin was deliberately thanking the man who helped save her baby.
She repeated the act multiple times. While marine biologists are cautious about attributing human emotions like gratitude to animals, they note that dolphins possess high intelligence and complex social awareness. Real or symbolic, the story has captured hearts worldwide as a beautiful example of the special bond between humans and dolphins.

Somebody should write a book about the greatest drinking stories of O'Toole, Burton, Harris, and Caine. One of my faves was Richard Harris went on a six week bender in the South of France without telling wifey. Upon return, she's screaming, and he simply replied "why didn't you pay the ransom"?

Forgotten 80s Mystery Click, Guitar Hero Edition Oh here it comes
That funny feeling again winding me up inside
Every time we touch
Hey I don't know
Oh, tell me where to begin cause I never ever
Felt so much
Okay, that was pretty easy. Here's one that's 3% harder. But still easy. Ooh, can you feel the static?
So many contacts being made
We've got up-front fanatics
Tearing down the barricade
To reach the stage
Can you feel the rage?

"The irresponsible reports that have been published stating that Maria Bartiromo was fired or is no longer an employee of Fox are absolutely and unequivocally false," Freedman said Friday. "Make no mistake, we have the receipts and witnesses and they will come out whether through the courthouse or otherwise."
He added: "Those reporting her firing or the incredulous facts supporting that fiction have exhibited a complete and utter reckless disregard for the truth."
from anon2020 So what, she quit?
Megyn Kelly (accursed be her name) used to say all the time that Fox has a top female PR person who is a nasty pitbull and leaks nasty claims about anyone Fox is at war with, including those who have left the network. So I guess maybe she technically resigned? I don't know.
NEW: @FoxNews has obtained Lindsay Clancy defense attorney Kevin Reddington's appeal filing to the MA Supreme Court, which includes Reddington accusing the lone holdout juror of being "biased" against those with "debilitating mental illness", which he says is a protected category.
Holiday Break: I've had a rough couple of weeks -- the shoulder is healing now and I'm finally getting decent sleep -- and I've decided to take a long weekend.
I'm taking Friday off, and then Monday off, too. I have Open Threads for both days and I will post if big news breaks, but if it doesn't -- and it probably won't, news is slow before a holiday weekend -- I'm going to take a four day weekend.

Real quotes:
"This case has me feeling like I'm on Law & Order with you guys!"
"We literally binge true crime as a hobby, we've been trained for this moment" Worth the watch. If you haven't seen the genuinely upsetting insanity motivating thousands of women, you should watch this just to see how society is crumbling. Ban TikTok, Trump. I don't care if Barron tells you it's popular with the yutes. It is an evil Communist China op and it is driving women insane.
Dolly Parton tells the story of the supposedly real-life Jolene As Andrew Branca says, can we see this Jolene, finally? Who was this hottie that was a genuine sexual threat to Dolly Parton? I think this is Fake News personally. When a magician claims he learned a trick from a Himalayan wise man, I don't believe him either.
