The Classical Saturday Coffee Break & Prayer Revival
—Misanthropic Humanitarian
[That's not a reasonable likeness of me]
*****
Good morning boys and girls and everything in between. Before we enter the Prayer Revival just a few housekeeping matters to go over. (Rulz for those of you in Wild Rose)
1) This is an open thread. Feel free to lurk, opine and/or bloviate.
2) Be kind. Be nice. The ban-hammer is omnipresent .
3) Running with sharp objects is not looked upon with approval. You have been notified.
4) Have a great weekend!
Please submit any prayer requests to me, “Annie’s Stew” at apaslo at-sign hotmail dot com. Prayer requests are generally removed after four weeks unless we receive an update.
Prayer Requests:
2/14 – L gave an update on her brother Ron. He has been in declining health for the last 6+ months, and has been transferred to a nice facility for hospice. They had been discussing this possibility for months. He would make improvements, then relapse, each time ending up more disabled. The best part is that he is at peace with the decision. He is aware enough to assist with the final plans and is enjoying parceling out his remaining possessions to family and friends. L’s daughter’s cardiac recovery continues. L says she cannot thank all sufficiently for the many prayers.
3/21 Update – Ron’s struggle is over. He died on 3/9. His 65th birthday would have been 3/22. His funeral was well attended and many people described him as their “best friend”. Despite never being married of having children, he leaves a legacy to be proud of. L’s daughter has finally recovered enough to start cardiac rehab. They expect great progress. L and her husband are rebuilding their relationship after putting it on the back burner for far too long, and working to get healthier. Thanks to everyone who prayed. It has meant a lot.
3/5 – IrishEi has learned that she needs major surgery on 3/16, and she would really appreciate prayers.
4/4 Update – Irish Ei posted her health update. She quit smoking 8-10 years ago, after reading Alan Carr’s “Easy Way to Quit Smoking”, on Ace’s recommendation. Since then, she has gone for the annual low-dose CT scan of her lungs that is offered to smokers/former smokers. They were always negative, until this year. She had one very small spot, which was confirmed as Stage I CA. The spot was removed, and no chemo or radiation is needed. She has been home for a week and is feeling better and stronger every day. She did want to encourage everyone to take whatever screenings are offered. She had no symptoms at all, and her doctor had suggested that she could stop with the annual CT scans. But early detection is crucial.
3/10 – Update on Susan, who we have been praying for as she battles cancer. She is hospitalized again with an infection in her colon that quickly turned bad. The doctor says the signs are sepsis but they are running tests to make sure. The good news is that the pancreatic cancer was and is responding to the chemo and her cancer numbers are going down. God bless and thank you!
3/23 Update – Susan finally was able to come home. She is doing better than expected. Thanks to everyone for your prayers.
3/14 – Retired Buckeye Cop asks for prayers for Mrs. Cop’s cousin, “A.B”. He has been diagnosed with cirrhosis of the liver. He is a retired police officer who was hit by a car years ago. He attempted to deal with the pain by self-medicating with too much Tylenol, which ended up poisoning his liver. His only alternative is a liver transplant, but he is uncertain if he wants to have surgery.
3/21 Update – A.B.’s situation isn’t quite as dire as originally thought. It’s still bad, but his readings are better than originally thought.
3/18 – TecumsehTea requests prayers, as her husband was fired from a job he enjoyed very much on 3/17. Prayers are needed for peace, direction, and clarity. They trust God will provide the right job at the right time, and that He would give them peace in the waiting. TecumsehTea is still dealing with the effects of her heart attack last July. Prayers for healing, as her BP continues to be unstable. Chronic Lyme disease and autoimmune disease complicates everything. She trusts that God is faithful and good and He will take care of their needs.
4/8 Update – TecumsehTea reports that God heard lots of prayers on their behalf, and has blessed MrTea with a new job. He starts 4/20. It has a shorter commute and a pay raise. Praise God for His provision. She is also seeing some improvement in her blood pressure. It seems to be leveling out, which she is very thankful for. Many thanks to all who prayed for them.
3/21 – FenelonSpoke asked for prayers for her son, who is still looking for work. He has a horticulture major, and would ideally like something related to research, but he is certainly willing to labor outdoors.
3/21 – Count de Monet gave prayers of thanks for a son who has been accepted into the IBEW Apprenticeship program. He will earn while he learns for 4 years on his way to becoming a Journeyman Electrician.
3/21 – pookysgirl asked for prayers as they start IVF again.
3/22 – Retired Buckeye Cop has a happy prayer request. His 16 year old grandson said he is feeling a call to the priesthood within the Catholic Church. He is a devout young man who has particular compassion for the poor. (He thinks he might want to be a Franciscan friar.) Please pray for L. H. as he pursues the vocation of religious life.
3/24 – GMAC posted that he has received his death sentence. His prostate cancer has metastasized into his bones. Medication will slow it down, but there is no stopping it. He doesn’t know how much time he has, but plans to do some travelling while he can. He sends his compliments to “the wittiest group of morons” he has ever had the pleasure of reading. He will still be lurking.
3/28 – Cosda posted the happy news that a new grandson should be arriving on 3/28.
3/28 – Defenestratus asked for prayers for grief at the loss of a dear friend and boss of 20 years, who passed away unexpectedly on St. Patrick’s Day.
3/28 – San Franpsycho posted that Pnina bat Surel is not improving, sadly. She has had a third hospitalization, and this has taken a toll on her. She is not bouncing back like she has before.
3/28 – From about The Time posted that prayers would be appreciated after the last chemo treatment for Lymphoma. It went reasonably well - thanks for the prayers.
3/28 – Hrothgar asked for prayers for a dear and long time close friend and former neighbor, Daniel, who is scheduled for open heart surgery in mid-April. Prayers for his wife would be appreciated as well, as she will be carrying a heavy load for the next few months.
3/28 – NR Pax posted an update on his father, who we had prayed for in January after his stroke. Dad is going through PT and OT every day at home. Mom got some cooperative people at the VA and a note was put in his record that he was not to have any appointments more than fifteen miles from his house. Things are still rough as Mom is handling things like taxes, investment accounts, and the banking. And Dad’s condition is stable, but it will change sooner or later. But they are living in a great retirement community and he’ll be taken care of.
3/28 – Jordan61 posted that Mr. Jordan61 is back in the hospital. His sepsis has returned and gotten into where his compression fracture is, and he has vertebral osteomyelitis. The doctor is supposed to come in today and let them know the plan.
4/3 – Teresa in Fort Worth posted an update. Her chemo seems to be holding things steady for now. Unfortunately, as she is receiving a steroid, she has gained about 25 pounds. Her blood sugar has also jumped up about 40 points (which only happens when she is on steroids).
4/4 – Reforger posted that his wife’s father passed away on 4/3. After a 50 year battle with Hep C, he fell and broke his neck. He lasted about a month, in and out of induced comas, and now the pain is over. Reforger lost his father on Holy Saturday (years ago) and now his wife lost her father on Good Friday.

2 Corinthians 4:8-9
We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair, persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed.
And not in a good way. Elsewhere it would cost you an eye-burning $1600 to buy 128GB of RAM right now.
At Micro Center it's over $4000.
Western Digital and Samsung SSDs meanwhile have tripled in price in just the last three months, and there's little relief there with even cheaper brands using YMTC flash increasing by 50% or more.
The software itself was fine, but the website was hacked to randomly deliver malware instead of the software you tried to download. If you downloaded either package in the last couple of days - the poisoned versions were online between April 9 and 10 - you might have a problem.
Tail Slayer is a neat bit of software that avoids having critical memory accesses delayed by DRAM refresh cycles.
But it does this by replicating your data across multiple channels of memory so you are never forced to access the memory module that is being refreshed at this precise instant.
Which works, yes, but is a very expensive solution.

A former staffer claims that Swalwell raped her when she was too drunk to consent. Twice.
From the SF Chronicle, quoted by Red State:
A woman who worked for nearly two years for Rep. Eric Swalwell, a leading candidate for California governor, said she had sexual encounters with him while he was her boss and alleged he twice sexually assaulted her when she was too intoxicated to consent.
[...]
The woman said Swalwell began pursuing her within weeks after she was hired at age 21 to work in the Democrat's district office in Castro Valley in 2019. Swalwell messaged her on Snapchat, she said, sending images of his genitals and seeking nude pictures of her in return.
She said Swalwell, who is married and 17 years her senior, tried to kiss her in her car when she drove him home from a donor meeting one night. Driving him to another event weeks later, she said Swalwell pulled out his penis in the car and asked her to perform oral sex on him. She said she did so in a parking lot.
He took it out.
In September 2019, the woman said, Swalwell invited her out for drinks and she became so severely intoxicated that she does not remember the rest of the night. She said she woke up naked in Swalwell's hotel bed and could feel the effect of vaginal intercourse. She said Swalwell distanced himself from her afterward and the relationship faded.
The woman also alleged that Swalwell sexually assaulted her five years later, when she was no longer a staffer, where, after a charity gala, she was "so inebriated that she only remembers snippets of the night, including pushing Swalwell away and telling him, 'No,' while he allegedly forced himself on her."
Apparently she told two people about the second sexual assault, at about the time it happened.
Three other women who spoke with CNN also alleged various kinds of sexual misconduct by the Democratic congressman -- including Swalwell sending them unsolicited explicit messages or nude photos.
One woman who connected online with Swalwell over her interest in Democratic politics says she ended up extremely drunk inside his hotel room after a night out with the congressman, with little memory of what occurred. Earlier in the night at a bar, he kissed her and touched her leg without her consent, she said.
Another woman, who described receiving unsolicited nude messages from Swalwell, was social media creator Ally Sammarco. She said she initially reached out to the congressman on Twitter to discuss politics. "I truly never thought he would respond -- I had like 1,000 followers at the time," she said. "And he actually responded."
CNN also adds: She told family members and friends about the sexual assault a day or two after it happened.
So the Democrats are terrified that two Republicans will win the jungle primary and they will be locked out of the governor's mansion. To reduce those risks, they have to drive some of the other Democrats out of the race and consolidate around a couple candidates -- or better yet, one single candidate.
Gee, I wonder who benefits from this and I wonder who is screaming the news out on Twitter but totally wasn't behind this coordinated political-"journalistic" hit:
The allegations against Congressman Swalwell are horrifying. I’m thinking of the courageous women who have come forward to share their stories. We believe you and we stand with you.
As others have pointed out: This must all have been known -- but the media covered it up for years, even as Swalwell sanctimoniously accused Trump of all manner of sec crimes. He was useful to the Democrat Party, so the media protected him.
But now the media needs to winnow the field down to one or two candidates, so they join forces yet again to take him out.

They've deliberately destroyed their own civilization.
GB News' Alex Armstrong laid out the geopolitical map that American media refuses to draw: this war isn't about toppling Iran. It's about 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐥𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐥 𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐫 -- and America is winning on every front.
Start with oil. The Strait of Hormuz carries 𝟒𝟓% 𝐨𝐟 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐚'𝐬 𝐨𝐢𝐥 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐲. Trump effectively captured Venezuela's oil supply in January. As Armstrong put it: "𝘓𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘸𝘩𝘰'𝘴 𝘨𝘰𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘶𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘳 𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘰𝘧 𝘢 𝘴𝘶𝘥𝘥𝘦𝘯. 𝘈𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘢 𝘪𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘷𝘢𝘴𝘵 𝘴𝘸𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘰𝘪𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘊𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘢 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥𝘴." China is in the middle of a tariff negotiation with Trump -- and suddenly its entire energy supply depends on American goodwill.
Then Europe. With Russian energy off the table and domestic energy hollowed out by the "𝘭𝘦𝘧𝘵𝘪𝘴𝘵 𝘰𝘣𝘴𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘯𝘦𝘵 𝘻𝘦𝘳𝘰," Europe is becoming 𝐰𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐝𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐧 𝐀𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐨𝐢𝐥 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐠𝐚𝐬. Armstrong: "𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘥𝘪𝘤𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘮𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘨𝘺 𝘢𝘴 𝘭𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘦, 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘰𝘮𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 ��𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘵𝘰𝘰."
Armstrong connected the dots to what the Pentagon calls 𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐍𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐡 𝐀𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚 -- Greenland through the Panama Canal, the entire Western Hemisphere secured as a self-sufficient American economic and security zone. "𝘕𝘰 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘨𝘭𝘰𝘣𝘢𝘭 𝘱𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘯𝘰 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦𝘪𝘨𝘯 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘪𝘵𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴, 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘢 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘧𝘪𝘦𝘥, 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘤𝘦-𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘩 𝘱𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳 𝘣𝘢𝘴𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘯𝘰 𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘺 𝘰𝘯. 𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘯𝘦𝘸 𝘈𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘢."
The most striking part was his warning for Britain: "𝘞𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘯𝘰 𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘨𝘺 𝘴𝘦𝘤𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘺. 𝘞𝘦 𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵 𝘢𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥 60% 𝘰𝘧 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘧𝘰𝘰𝘥. 𝘞𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘯𝘰 𝘮𝘢𝘫𝘰𝘳 𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘺. 𝘖𝘶𝘳 𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘺 𝘪𝘴 𝘥𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥." He described Britain heading toward 𝐚 𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐬𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝟏,𝟎𝟎𝟎 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 as America withdraws from its traditional role.
When a foreign ally's own news anchors are publicly acknowledging that Trump's strategy is working -- even as it leaves them behind -- that tells you everything about who has the leverage.
Some are attempting to warn Europe that their insane drive for de-industrialization is pointless anyway:

"We're not saving the planet -- we're just exporting our emissions to China and India."
Konstantin Kisin cut straight through the net zero illusion on Steven Bartlett's Diary of a CEO.
Britain proudly cuts its share of global CO₂ from 2% to 1.9%, while actually increasing total emissions by offshoring production to countries with dirtier energy, then shipping the goods back on heavy fuel tankers.
At the same time, many people are poorer today than 20 years ago, even if they haven't fully felt it in their wallets yet.
Kisin predicts the big public shift away from net zero won't come from better science or arguments -- it will come when ordinary people can no longer afford their current lives.
That's when reality finally breaks through.
It's a sobering reminder that economic pain often forces the honest conversation we've been avoiding.
When do you think people will finally start connecting these dots?

On the Flat Earth side of things, they're claiming that the rocket we watched take off was actually a big inflatable balloon. This Nobel Laureate doesn't explain how this balloon carried enough fuel to produce a rocket-sized spout of rocket-fast flame for twenty minutes, nor how this inflatable object managed to keep its shape while being propelled at speeds of 1000 mph+ in the atmosphere.
But he's very, very smug about it! He's the Smart One! You guys are the dum-dums!
And I think we can learn a lot about modern politics from this example.
Sad! Another storybook Hollywood marriage ends! Diff'rent Strokes actor Todd Bridges, who I imagine was on some terrible celebrity reality shows in the late nineties but hasn't worked since, is getting divorced from his photographer/designer wife of three and a half years
She's a very handsome woman.
Bridges filed a Petition for Dissolution of Marriage (Divorce) Without Minor Children on Tuesday, according to Maricopa County Superior Court records in Arizona.
First: Gorsuch's woke betrayal, insisting that a transgender who wanted to LARP as a woman at a funeral home during funeral services for the dead could not be fired or demanded to dress as a man. The mourners, Gorsuch decided, would just have to stop being transphobes.
In Bostock v. Clayton County, the Supreme Court found that the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibited discrimination based on sexual orientation. Such an interpretation would have surprised anyone alive in the 1960s, when the federal government routinely fired employees even suspected of being gay. But this aspect of the ruling wasn't that controversial in 2020. Most Americans supported same-sex marriage and, outside of certain religious employers, few businesses had any reason to fire workers because of their sexual orientation.
But Bostock included a companion case that led to a far more sweeping ruling. A Michigan funeral home employed a biological male who later experienced gender dysphoria and decided to "live and work full-time as a woman," including by wearing female attire. Concerned about how grieving families might react to a man dressed as a woman, the funeral home fired the employee. The Court's majority, in an opinion by Neil Gorsuch, held that federal civil rights law prohibits terminations based on gender identity. Mourners, in effect, would have to get with the times.
But since then, the Court has turned.
The gender-identity aspect of Bostock immediately raised pressing legal questions. Did Title IX require schools to allow biological males to compete on female teams? Did the Constitution's Equal Protection Clause bar bans on "gender-affirming" surgeries for minors? Did the law require religious hospitals to remove healthy reproductive organs to facilitate gender transitions?
In the wake of Bostock, the answer to these questions, and others, seemed to be yes. Society was expected to "affirm" gender identity, support adolescents seeking puberty blockers, and accommodate social transition. Parents faced pressure to accept their child's transition; public schools were said to have duties to adopt gender-identity curricula, manage student transitions, and permit biological males to compete in female sports. Those who resisted risked being labeled bigots.
But then the "arc of the moral universe" began bending rightward. After Bostock, state legislatures across the country prohibited medical gender procedures for minors, even with parental consent. Sports fans objected to biologically male athletes like Lia Thomas winning against female athletes. Even some who accepted Bostock's sexual-orientation holding grew uneasy with its implications for gender identity.
Perhaps the most effective political ad of the 2024 presidential election spoke to this issue: "Kamala is for they/them. President Trump is for you." On Inauguration Day, President Trump signed an executive order declaring, "It is the policy of the United States to recognize two sexes, male and female." Critics may have thought the order was mere symbolism, but Trump's policy reflected the position around which public opinion had coalesced--that asserting biological truth does not constitute bigotry.
The Supreme Court soon adapted to this shift. Consider six rulings over the past year that all point in the same direction.
United States v. Shilling allowed the Department of Defense to discharge transgender service members.
United States v. Skrmetti held that states could prohibit medical gender treatments for minors.
Mahmoud v. Taylor ruled that parents have a religious-liberty right to opt their children out of learning about "LGBTQ-inclusive books."
Trump v. Orr allowed the State Department to print passports that list only a person's biological sex.
Mirabelli v. Bonta found that schools cannot secretly transition students to another gender without telling their parents.
Chiles v. Salazar held that Colorado could not prohibit therapists from counseling people to be comfortable with their biological sex.
Finally, in a seventh, still-pending case, West Virginia v. B.P.J., the Court will likely rule that colleges can exclude biological males from female sports.
One year after having been #cancelled by the lunatic left for "denigrating the seriousness of domestic violence," Dax Sheppard and Kirsten Bell are still apologizing.
Let's look at the horrible offense they committed:
Dax Shepard is speaking out about that Kristen Bell anniversary post backlash.
On the April 6 episode of his "Armchair Expert" podcast, the "Parenthood" star, 51, addressed the controversy surrounding Bell's Oct. 17 Instagram post celebrating their wedding anniversary. The "Good Place" actress, 45, wrote, "Happy 12th wedding anniversary to the man who, after [an] episode of 'Dateline,' once said to me: 'I would never kill you. A lot of men have killed their wives at a certain point. Even though I'm heavily incentivized to kill you, I never would.'"
The post sparked outrage as some fans argued Bell was making light of domestic violence and that it was tone-deaf during Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
Speaking with his guest Nikki Glaser on "Armchair Expert," Shepard alluded to the situation when he dismissed "all these people that are convinced I'm beating Kristen," arguing those who were "outraged" about the post were people who have "never been in a relationship."
Who doesn't have Domestic Violence Awareness Month marked on their calendars?
Do you object to you children being raped by gangs of barbaric foreign invaders?
Well, an Islamic professor has simple advice for you, Racist: "Get over it."
This is their country now. You'll play by their rules.
[The College Fix:]
The Alwaleed bin Talal Chair of Islamic Civilization at Georgetown University recently told social media users to "get over it" in response to concerns about a link between "rape gangs" and Islam.
Professor Jonathan Brown dismissed concerns about the crisis in the United Kingdom in two now-deleted X posts, the Daily Caller reported.
Rupert Lowe, an Independent Member of Parliament, wrote in a post on X, "There is a link between the rape gangs and one particular religion -- we have seen it again and again and again at our inquiry."
"That religion is Islam. As a country, we must have the courage to face up to that fact," he wrote.
Brown replied, "get over it."
He then wrote the same phrase in response to another user who called his remark "absurdly evil."

Sarah Haider 👾
@SarahTheHaider
Actually I'd say this article is a great example of how coverage distorts discourse--we endlessly ruminate over the significance of things that aren’t really happening.
The piece is mostly about one woman, whose planned 40th began to look like a wedding, so she incorporated more elements to that effect.
Mickey Kaus used to say that there was a "hoary old rule" in journalism that you can write a "trend" piece if you had three examples of a thing happening. But in the internet age, clickbaity editors dropped that to two. And now we're down to One Single Incidence Makes a Trend.
But I dunno. We have heard of women "marrying themselves" a dozen times in the past.
Yes, it's real. The community note points out that it's pushing this message for real -- and only after backlash did they resort to the coward's claim, "I was just being satirical."
The ad is not satire. It was falsely called satire after backlash. Yes the ad uses humor (person awkwardly interrupting couple) for Willerslev to express his views but they are stated as fact without critique. Satire critiques its subject, which the ad doesn't do:
Steve Inman's Wide World of Justified Violence Open Thread

These are violent posts. I'll warn you for the really bad ones. In all cases it looks like the party who deserved the violence, got the violence. Or at least got it worse.
"And what are you gonna do?" -- the last words of a stupid belligerent drunk. The idiot was sailing his chin out there like a flag on Washington's Birthday.
Compilation of various FAFOs. The first clip shows thieves attempting to rob a gun store, with results that you are probably expecting. Skip that if you don't like seeing people get shot. But let me recommend going to 0:39 to see an all-girl street fight, with all of the ho's wearing cocktail dresses. So much hair pulling and kicking a downed ho. And one girl hangs a Full Boob out of her dress after being knocked on her ass. It's niiiice. Also there's a classic clip at 1:34.
Mexican drunk plays Street Matador with people's cars and then they get out of their cars and it's not so funny now is it?
Antifa sitting in the street gets a nice little head-check from a car.
Thug tries to intimidate an unimposing looking guy but most thugs are actually pussies.
A Goth antifa looking Karen advances on a young man (who is also wearing all black) and discovers why the Olympics Committee forbids men competing with women in physical sports.
A Cultural Enricher stops a train by holding open the door while the passengers keep telling her to close the door so that they can be on their way. She refuses. She actually has plenty of room and time to get on the train, but she's either holding the door for someone else who isn't even on the platform, or just holding up the train to run her mouth and prove that She the Queen Here. At some point, a helpful young gentlemen intervenes and gently escorts her ass to the concrete.
An Australian yob advances on police women armed only with tasers, while armed with a knife. This one has a surprise ending that I wouldn't want to spoil. Kinda violent but worth it!
An idiot advances on a man who tells him to go away. The man then explains why the idiot should leave: "I'm trying to save you." This is a cool-ass line I could imagine Rambo saying and you might wonder, But does he have the skills to back this line up? You be the judge.
This is rough: Street bandits attempt to stop a truck by standing in front of it. Two problems with that plan: one, the truck's driver does not owe you care and kind treatment, and two, he's driving a fucking truck. DO THE MATH, SUB-CRETINS.
This is a compilation of five clips. The first two show well-earned Beefhammer Ballets. The fourth I have to warn you about: A Cultural Enrichment Outreach Coordinator refuses to exit the car at a police stop and then opens fire on the cops. The cops then demonstrate what hours at range practice can do for you. If it's not clear, this results in a killing or at least a very deep Red Nap.
This Cultural Enricher is in a stand-off with police as he holds a knife to the neck of a woman, as Cultural Enrichers frequently do. For some reason he decides to give up his hostage and advance on the gun-armed cops with his knife. I don't know what what he was thinking, but the cops were thinking they should shoot him dead, and they do.
This is the worst one. But also the best one, if you can deal with graphic content. Two men have a verbal argument when one, out of nowhere, just straight up stabs the other in the belly with a long knife. The stabbed man staggers away, and the knife-wielding attacker follows him. And then he learns he should have just walked away because the stabbed man, backed into a life-or-death situation, fights back.
Women Are Sharing How To Detect Whether A Man Is Actually Liberal From A Mile Away, And You're Gonna Want To Take Notes

In 2026, political views are a major indicator of compatibility in dating. But most people aren't exactly disclosing this information on a first date, which means you're often left decoding subtle cues to gauge which side of the aisle someone's on.
This detective work can be exhausting, so we asked members of the BuzzFeed Community to share the telltale signs that a man is liberal.
They mean they were lazy and had no ideas so they asked their commenters to write a post for them. I have to start doing that. I did it a couple of times, years and years ago.
Here are the real bangers of advice women give to other women to deliberately sabotage them and keep them from being sexual competition or attracting any mate at all:

Right off the bat, they're telling you their ideal male mate is a gay man who is also looking for the ideal male mate. The second one says that she wants her man to go out of his way to signal that he's actually gay.
There are a lot of eligible men who do that. They are all gay.

"He had close guy friends too, but honestly, his close female friendships helped him grow emotionally and communicate well, so it wasn't expected for me to be the only one to meet all his emotional support needs. When we all hung out, there was never a whisper of anything sexual, and he was always respectful of everyone. He also has a good relationship with his sister and mom."

8. "Stanley Cups scream liberal to me, for some reason."
--Anonymous
Stanley cups are those large oversized drinking cups that became a huge trend due to women bloggers asking Stanley to make them in pretty colors. They had been intended for men working outside in construction or jobs like that, so Stanley thought that slate gray was all the color needed. No, these women bloggers told them, women will buy them if you make them in pretty colors.
Stanley gave in, just to shut them up, and for once, loud-mouthed demanding broads were right. Trend-chasing easily-influenceable women who spend all their time on the internet lifestyle-comparing with other women turned them into a national craze.
I'm not saying you have to be that kind of person to own one. Let me just admit this so that you can all make fun of me and add it to my list of heterosexuality-doubts: I own one too. (Honestly, it is too big. It really should be used... by dudes working outside for whom an oversized cumbersome drinking cup is worth it because they are hundreds of yards from a fountain or convenience store. I only use it to try to get in my daily creatine.)
Anyway, by saying that a man should really be into the nearly exclusively female trend of 2019 of buying Stanely cups in pretty colors, yet another woman says that what she looks for in a man is another woman.
9. "I think a good indicator that a man is liberal-leaning is if they don't shy away from conversations about women's health, like someone's period. Even better if they're comfortable buying tampons for their girlfriend, wife, daughter, etc.

90% of modern "feminism" is just the demand that anytime a woman says something, a man agrees and praises her for saying it. They are very, very keen on this point: Anything they think, say, or do must be validated and praised.
This is such a distinctly feminine form of narcissism that it was noted 23 years ago by the left-wing Onion, back when it was occasionally funny.

This shows that they value people and respect the way they see/identify themselves, and usually this transfers to any person who uses non-traditional pronouns (they/them, etc.) See how often Trump and other Republicans purposely mispronounce the names of people they don't like or respect? It's the same for most conservative men, I find."

George Conway fights back tears as he recalls how he decided to give nearly $1 million to Biden's Victory Fund in 2024 — which would have otherwise gone to his children.
He says he started crying and had to pull his car over.
Putin has been sending his illegal sanctioned "Shadow Fleet" oil tankers through England's bathtub -- or its former bathtub, as you'll see -- the English Channel.
Keir Starmer told Putin to stop using the Channel for the illegal transport of sanctioned oil or he'd seize the shadow ships. And you know that when Keir Starmer acts tough, people take notice.
So Putin sent his own warships into the Channel to protect the ships.
England used to own the English Channel. Owning the English Channel protected it from invasion many times, from the French during the 100 Years War though World War II. Operation Sea Lion, I think Hitler called the plan to invade England, cancelled because the Nazis realized any attempt to reach English shores would result in disaster.
Russian frigate escorts sanctioned tankers through British waters despite PM's vow to seize vessels
Vladimir Putin has openly defied Sir Keir Starmer's threat to seize sanctioned Russian vessels by sending a warship to escort them through the Channel.
The Admiral Grigorovich, a Black Sea fleet frigate, accompanied a pair of shadow fleet ships on Wednesday while a British naval vessel followed behind.
Positioned on the Royal Charlotte, a boat almost 10 miles from Dover, The Telegraph observed Putin's flotilla cruising past the south coast while RFA Tideforce, a Royal Fleet Auxiliary tanker, trailed in their wake.
Last month, Sir Keir gave special forces the authority to capture the armada of rusted ships illegally ferrying oil to support Russia's war in Ukraine, saying he would hit the shadow fleet "even harder" if they sailed through British waters. However, Britain is yet to seize a single Russian vessel.
The Prime Minister has repeatedly faced criticism regarding the state of the Royal Navy and Britain's Armed Forces. After an Iranian-made drone hit RAF Akrotiri, HMS Dragon, Britain's only deployable destroyer, was sent to the Middle East, but took three weeks to arrive and has already had to return to port as it suffers water supply issues.
They have one (1) deployable destroyer, which is a light-middleweight warship. This should be a class of warship England can deploy dozens of.
In a speech on Saturday, Kemi Badenoch, the Conservative leader, is expected to pile further pressure on Sir Keir, urging him to publish the long-delayed defence investment plan. She will state that there is "no plan for rearming Britain".
Donald Trump, the US president, has previously described the Navy's two aircraft carriers as "toys" while his defence secretary, Pete Hegseth, mocked Britain's "big, bad Royal Navy".
...
Admiral Grigorovich -- a 3,620-ton frigate armed with anti-ship, cruise and surface-to-air missiles -- sailed between the two 600ft tankers Universal and Enigma shortly after 9am on Wednesday as they headed west toward Plymouth.
Universal reportedly departed from the Russian port of Vysotsk on Jan 18.
The Russian-flagged tanker is believed to be on a mission to deliver crude oil to bolster the Kremlin's coffers, which are straining to fund Putin's war machine.
In September, she was outlawed in British waters for attempting to "destabilise Ukraine or undermine or threaten" Kyiv by exporting oil from Russia to fund its invasion.
England is a tiny gay poodle with a big bark and big ideas about how the world should be run with absolutely no capacity to actually act. Their idea of "acting" is to whine at the US into doing its bidding.
Russia sent a warship to escort sanctioned tankers through the English Channel despite PM Starmer’s threat to seize shadow-fleet ships passing through British waters.

@bulkeley_john
Starmer and the UK just allowed 2 Shadow Fleet tankers and a Russian frigate to sail right by the UK in the English Channel and didn't lift a finger to stop them, even though Starmer said weeks ago that the UK would start seizing Shadow Fleet tankers. If Britain can't even defend the English Channel these days, do you honestly think it can defend the Falkland Islands? This is what happens when you let your Navy and armed forces deteriorate over the years, deterrence fails and you become an impotent faded power unable to project power anywhere on the globe.
I linked that to emphasize: the vaunted British Navy no longer controls the English Channel.
Which had been its birthright and highest priority for 500 years.

The Royal Navy is no longer fit for service in NATO.
In August 2022, HMS Prince of Wales sailed out of Portsmouth to cross the Atlantic for joint exercises with the US Navy. She was the pride of the modern Royal Navy. A four-billion-pound aircraft carrier. The flagship of Global Britain.
She made it about 20 miles.
Then the propeller shaft coupling sheared & one of only two carriers in the entire British fleet limped back to port and spent the better part of a year in dry dock while American carriers did the work Britain had promised to do.
That's the Royal Navy in 2026. It's a museum with a TickTock account.
I've called the Canadian Navy a glorified Coast Guard but the UK can't even keep migrant boats off its shores.
Nelson had over 100 ships of the line at Trafalgar. The fleet that fought WW2 had over 900 warships.
...
Today the Royal Navy has roughly 70 commissioned vessels. Maybe 15 of them are meaningful surface combatants.
I saw an item claiming that only five of the vaunted British surface fleet is seaworthy.
It sounds marginally ok but any given day, a significant percentage are in dry dock, undermanned, or waiting for spare parts.
And China launches more tonnage in a quarter than the Royal Navy possesses in total.
You do not rule the waves. You do not rule the Channel. You rule a Wikipedia.
And it gets worse.
...
All six Type 45 destroyers, the backbone of Britain's air defense fleet, had to be pulled back for emergency refits because their engines lose power in warm water. Read that again.
They were practically useless in the Red Sea because they don't have enough missiles and you didn't buy the anti-air computers for their deck guns.
Your last few nuclear submarine launches went plop and instead of trying again or calling the American missile manufacturer to court... you shrugged.
This is the nuclear deterrent that is supposed to be the foundation of British sovereignty, the reason Britain sits at the UN Security Council, the last credible claim to great power status. It fell in the water next to the boat.
Your ancestors circumnavigated the globe in wooden ships powered by rope and canvas. You built a billion-pound destroyer that overheats off Bahrain.
Your frigates are too few to cover your own approaches. When Russian submarines transit the English Channel, the French Navy often shadows them because the Royal Navy cannot respond in time. The French. In your Channel. Protecting you.
Nelson ain't spinning in his tomb. He's in the Atlantic laughing at you.
Americans patrol the Gulf you depend on for energy. Americans keep Taiwan's chips flowing to your factories. Americans are the reason the Houthis have not fully closed the Red Sea to British-flagged shipping.
We are happy to help until now. Until Starmer tried selling off our only base in the Indian Oceans then refused to let us land planes.
OUR OWN BASE
Yes he relented but only under pressure.
We will help protect your interests but on one condition:
DO NOTHING
No selling bases
No overflight refusals
No more dock denials in Gibraltar
No crazy ROE debates
No politicians demeaning us in debates
No threating Elon Musk
And no more 134 Royal Navy Admirals in cosplaying aboard your 15 broken warships.
Tell them to hang up their uniforms and go home.
OR STAND UP, make the king overthrow parliament & fund a proper navy
Fight for your birthright or F*ck off.

Psychiatric Morbidity Among Adolescents and Young Adults Who Contacted Specialised Gender Identity Services in Finland in 1996--2019: A Register Study
ABSTRACT
Aim
To examine the prevalence of severe psychiatric morbidity among gender-referred adolescents, focusing on gender differences and outcomes related to medical gender reassignment.
Methods
Finnish nationwide cohort of all under-23-year-old gender-referred individuals between 1996 and 2019 (n = 2 083) and 16 643 matched controls. Cross-tabulations with X2 statistics and Cox regression were used to analyse the data.
Results
Gender-referred adolescents showed significantly higher psychiatric morbidity than controls both before (45.7% vs. 15.0%) and ≥ 2 years after referral (61.7% vs. 14.6%).
That's big right there. Yes, we all expect that most "transgenders" have a constellation of mental illnesses. And this study shows that those who seek transgender therapy have a much higher incidence of "psychiatric morbidity," 45.7% vs. 15.0% as seen in the general population.
That's not news -- although the psychiatric community ignores all this mental illness and does not treat it, following instead the unproven, unevidenced theory that all of someone's mental illnesses are caused by their being "born in the wrong body" and will be cured by cutting their tits and dicks off.
They never concede the possibility that it is the constellation of mental problems -- autism, schizophrenia, depression, neuroticism -- that instead causes them to fall prey to the sales pitch that chopping off their genitals will be the Magic Bullet that cures all that ails them.
But again, that's not the big finding. The big finding is that while 45.7% of those seeking transgender "therapy" were mentally ill before contacting the transgender clinic, 61.7% were mentally ill two or more years AFTER receiving the transgender treatment that was supposed to cure all their other "psychiatric morbidities."
Those referred after 2010 had greater psychiatric needs than earlier cohorts, both before (47.9% vs. 15.3%) and ≥ 2 years after (61.3% vs. 14.2%) referral.
In other words: It's gotten worse since the Transgender Bomb was dropped on the world staring around 2010. "Earlier cohorts" means those seeking such treatments before the transgender terrorists mau-maued the medical community to completely stop treating "Transgender" Patients for their many other mental illnesses and just give them the "magic bullet" of "gender-affirming care."Before 2010 -- before "Jennifer" Pritzker used the Pritzker family fortune to set up a pressure group to pound psychiatrists into compliance -- psychiatrists would treat transgenders for their other illnesses.
But now? Just the magic bullet. Just give them sterilizing doses of cross-sex hormones and all of their other mental illness will evaporate like soft fog on a sunny spring morning.
Except, of course: The mental illnesses do not evaporate after the magic bullet. They get worse, for some reason.
If any of you can guess the reason why mentally ill people get more mentally ill after a huge dose of exogenous superphysiological cross-sex hormones, please let me know in the comments. If I like your answer, I will award you five Ace of Spades Kids Klub Clue Crew points which you can redeem for toys and small fries.
It gets worse: This Magic Bullet Miracle Treatment of chopping off healthy organs and flooding the body with exotic experimental hormones absolutely destroys the brains of the children it's given to.
This is ghastly:
Among adolescents who underwent medical gender reassignment, psychiatric morbidity increased markedly during follow-up--rising from 9.8% to 60.7% in feminising gender reassignment and from 21.6% to 54.5% in masculinising gender reassignment.
Male to Fake Female treatments increased the incidence of mental illness from 9.8% to 60.7%.
Female to Fake Male treatments increased the incidence of mental illness from 21.6% (Bitches Be Crazy already) to 54.5%.
And yet they continue insisting that if you don't allow and even fund Franksenstein genital-swapping experiments, you're not providing "necessary health care."
Read those numbers again.
This is the kind of thing societies have violent purges over. I don't mean the transgenders, I mean the absolute Satanic monsters performing and advocating for these dangerous and rabidogenic -- I word I just made up for "crazy-making" -- procedures.
After adjusting for prior psychiatric treatment, all gender-referred adolescents had similarly elevated risks of psychiatric morbidity, with hazard ratios approximately three times higher than female controls and five times higher than male controls.
Conclusion
Severe psychiatric morbidity is common among gender-referred adolescents and appears to be more prevalent in those referred after the recent surge in referrals. Psychiatric needs do not subside after medical gender reassignment.
You don't say.
Summary
Gender-referred adolescents show high psychiatric morbidity, yet gender differences and mental health trajectories after medical gender reassignment remain poorly understood.
These adolescents had markedly higher psychiatric morbidity than controls before and after referral, with treatment needs often persisting and even intensifying after medical interventions--on some, they might even have a negative impact.
Findings emphasise the need for thorough psychiatric assessment and ongoing treatment throughout medical gender reassignment.
How about we just stop the "gender reassignment" treatment entirely until we've cured/mitigated the rest of the mental illness and can determine whether seeking "transition" is actually just a symptom of the underlying insanity?
Dr. Dionne Joseph, a clinical psychologist in the United Kingdom, called efforts to change a child's sex "arguably the biggest medical scandal of our time."
"Gender-affirming care is a disaster, but this proves it now," she told GB News. "The evidence is incontrovertible that the phalloplasties, all the medioplasties, the chest stuff they did, made these youngsters considerably worse."
Joseph called out the medical establishment for lying, hiding and obfuscating evidence that contradicted the prevailing narrative that such irreversible interventions worked to help children.
"The Finnish have done a really good, robust study," she said, noting the 24-year timeframe and the crosschecking of data with 16,600 "control" individuals without gender dysphoria. Those receiving treatment "started off with quite high levels of morbidity, and they got a lot, lot worse ... we saw a disastrous decline in their mental health and functioning."
Many doctors and scientists were cancelled or pressured into remaining silent, especially over the last decade as the trend of child sex-change surgeries swept through the nation and world, harming thousands of lives.
This has never been not known -- just ruthlessly suppressed by insane rabidogenic ideologues who want to spread their miserable insanity to children.
Kurt Mahlburg
@k_mahlburg
Finland tracked every gender-referred adolescent in the country for up to 25 years.
Their psychiatric needs didn't improve after 'gender reassignment'. They surged.
A landmark peer-reviewed study just dropped. Here's what it found. 🧵
The study, published this week in Acta Paediatrica, was led by Professor Riittakerttu Kaltiala of Tampere University Hospital.
Kaltiala has run Finland's youth gender clinic since 2011. She also served on the UK's Cass Review advisory board.
Finland centralises all gender identity assessments to two university hospitals.
Because health register reporting is mandatory and patients cannot opt out, the dataset captured the complete fate of every gender-referred adolescent in the country from 1996 to 2019.
The cohort of 2,083 individuals was compared against 16,643 matched population controls.
Follow-up ran for up to 25 years.
This is not a small study with convenient dropouts. It is the full national picture.
Among those who underwent medical "gender reassignment", the increase was stark.
Feminising procedures: psychiatric morbidity rose from 9.8% to 60.7%.
Masculinising procedures: from 21.6% to 54.5%.
The procedures did not resolve the distress.
After adjusting for prior psychiatric history, all gender-referred adolescents -- whether or not they had undergone procedures -- faced similarly elevated ongoing risk.
Approximately five times higher than male controls. Three times higher than female controls.
The authors noted plainly: in some individuals, the medical procedures "appear to be linked to deterioration in mental health."
This is a peer-reviewed journal. This is the lead clinician of Finland's national gender clinic. These are her words.
The study also found that those referred after 2010 -- when Finland saw a tenfold referral surge -- arrived with far greater pre-existing psychiatric needs.
47.9% had already required specialist psychiatric treatment before their first clinic contact.
Among matched controls in the same period, that figure was 15.3%.
This was when transgender genital chop-shops began to be recommended as a cure-all for the incurably mentally ill.
The authors suggest the pattern may indicate that for some adolescents, mental health difficulties are presenting as concerns about gender identity -- not the reverse.
As I said: It's the mental illness plus the sales pitch of a Miracle Cure for mental illness that is driving the interest in transgender "therapy," not, as the crazed body-swapping monsters claim, the transgenderism causing the other mental illnesses.
The study's conclusion could not be clearer:
"Psychiatric needs do not subside after medical gender reassignment."
This is the finding the gender medicine movement has staked its entire ethical claim on. The claim has not held.
In Australia, two clinicians who raised these exact concerns faced regulatory action.
Dr Andrew Amos was banned by AHPRA for questioning the treatments publicly. No finding of patient harm was made against him.
@Jilliantweeting was suspended, then issued a termination notice.
Spencer's termination came one month before an independent panel was due to deliver its findings. That decision is now subject to legal challenge.
The Finnish study adds to the evidence base both clinicians drew on when they spoke up.
The UK's Cass Review -- a four-year NHS-commissioned inquiry -- found the evidence base for puberty-suppressing drugs and cross-sex hormones in minors to be "remarkably weak."
It rated Australia's child gender medicine standards 19 out of 100 for rigour of development.
I think they call that score "The Gentleman's F-Minus."
...
The Finnish authors' recommendation is precise: thorough psychiatric assessment and ongoing treatment, before and after any medical procedures.
"Psychiatric needs must be adequately met."
That is not what Australia's suspended clinicians were told when they said the same thing.
Whatever we do, we must continue giving already fucked-up kids powerful rabidogenic drugs to make them crazier and more likely to commit mass shootings of children.
Me-Again Kelly: I Agree That Nefarious Jews Manipulated the Simple-Minded Egotist Trump to Bend Him to Their Hebraic Design; In Fact, I'm Sure That the Archjew Mark Levin Would Have Me Killed
—Disinformation Expert Ace
From her "interview" with Ana Kasparian, who just declared "Israel must not be allowed to continue to exist" last week:
ANA KASPARIAN (GUEST): There are, in my opinion, people within our country who are less interested in their American patriotism and more interested in serving as Israeli operatives, and I think Mark Levin happens to be one of those people. So, these pressure campaigns, right, these threats, these efforts to literally destroy your life and your livelihood if you don't play ball, I do think that those intimidation tactics have been very successful in this country, and it's about time we push back, and I'm happy to see that people like you are pushing back.
I'm pushing back myself. I've lost jobs. I've lost opportunities as a result of how vocal I've been on this issue. But I care about my country more than I care about my pocketbook, and it's really important for us to live in a sovereign country.
On top of that, when it comes to the manipulation tactics that were used against Trump, not to rob him of his agency, at the end of the day he's the commander in chief and he made the decision. However, we can't deny the fact that Trump has an ego, as anyone who wants to be president very likely has, and it's easy to manipulate him by stroking his ego. So telling him these, like, these magical stories about how he's going to be the world's hero by, like, demolishing the Iranian regime and freeing the Iranian people, and it's going be so easy, you're going get so much credit for it. I think those manipulation tactics are also very effective on someone like Donald Trump, who likes to see himself as a hero.
MEGYN KELLY (HOST): I think that's all you need. That's all you need. I don't think you need to go blackmail. I mean, I'm open minded to the possibility of blackmail because, honestly, my past nine months have proven to me that they will stop at nothing to get you to bend the knee. Nothing. And I'm just a podcaster. I'm a journalist. Imagine if you're the president of the United States. I don't think they would stop at anything. And I mean Israel and its emissaries, foreign and domestic.
I actually believe that Mark Levin would like to have me killed. I do believe it. I think he'd be thrilled to see me taken out, like, actually. That's so fucking crazy to me, Ana. There's no one, no one politically who I would ever wish that upon, ever. There's no one whose death I would celebrate. There's no one whom I would intentionally endanger with really crazy ass rhetoric.
He knows what he says about Tucker, about me, about many others is actually endangering. To over and over call somebody a neo-Nazi, to suggest that they want Jews killed because they say things like, 'young people no longer support Israel.' It's so irresponsible. It's lunacy.
I just want to remind everyone again that for the past nine months, Me-Again Kelly has actively defended and promoted Cavernous Nostrils as that vicious race-hustling madwoman has spun out one lunatic slander after another about the widowed Erika Kirk, claiming she is a lesbian, that she grooms the children she pretends to help out of the sex trade to have sex with her, and that she either participated in or covered up the murder of her husband because Jews were afraid they had lost control over.
Cavernous Nostrils has been priming her fucking deranged cultist loser audience to murder Erika Kirk to avenge Charlie Kirk for nine fucking months, and not only has Me-Again Kelly refused to condemn her even once, she has promoted her as an important voice that must be heeded.
Derek
@DGPsalm3
Erika Kirk is facing constant death threats and people wishing death on her because of the retarded "investigation" by Candace Owens that Megyn Kelly fully supports, and Megyn couldn't possibly care less. Not even worth mentioning.
However, she wants to pretend she's in danger from Mark Levin. What a disgrace she has become.
And this narcissistic bitch dares whine that criticism of herself is "endangering?"

🚨 BREAKING: President Donald Trump goes nuclear on Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones
"They think it is wonderful for Iran, the Number One State Sponsor of Terror, to have a Nuclear Weapon"
"They have one thing in common, Low IQs."
"They're stupid people, they know it, their families know it, and everyone else knows it, too! Look at their past, look at their record."
"They've all been thrown off Television, lost their Shows, and aren't even invited on TV because nobody cares about them, they're NUT JOBS, TROUBLEMAKERS, and will say anything necessary for some 'free' and cheap publicity."
"Now they think they get some 'clicks' because they have Third Rate Podcasts, but nobody's talking about them, and their views are the opposite of MAGA -- Or I wouldn't have won the Presidential Election in a LANDSLIDE. MAGA agrees with me."
"Hand Flailing Fools like Tucker Carlson, who couldn't even finish College, he was a broken man when he got fired from Fox, and he's never been the same -- Perhaps he should see a good psychiatrist!"
"Megyn Kelly, who nastily asked me the now famous, 'Only Rosie O'Donnell,' question"
"'Crazy' Candace Owens, who accuses the Highly Respected First Lady of France of being a man, when she is not, and will hopefully win lots of money in the ongoing lawsuit. Actually, to me, the First Lady of France is a far more beautiful woman than Candace, in fact, it's not even close!"
"Bankrupt Alex Jones, who says some of the dumbest things, and lost his entire fortune, as he should have, for his horrendous attack on the families of the Sandy Hook shooting victims, ridiculously claiming it was a hoax. These so-called 'pundits' are LOSERS, and they always will be!"
Megyn Kelly: “I actually believe that Mark Levin would like to have me killed. I do believe it. I think he’d be thrilled to see me taken out, like, actually. That’s so f*cking crazy to me, Ana. There’s no one, no one politically who I would ever wish that upon, ever. There’s no… pic.twitter.com/5c6lLWSjNt

No one has threatened @megynkelly's life. The only assassination attempts were directed at Donald Trump and Charlie Kirk, two Israel supporters. And the only people who have received death threats for their stance on Israel are other Israel supporters, like @SethDillon. And ordinary civilians who support Israel have also been attacked and murdered, like that young couple in New York.
So stop wound collecting, Megyn. You want to be victim and receive death threats? Support Israel and you will. Your views on Israel are the MAJORITY opinion and you're not being brave by expressing them. Nor are you being threatened for doing so.
But Me-Again is always the star of the story! You don't understand!
THE MORNING RANT: There Is Massive Industrial Investment Under Way in the U.S. Due to Repatriation of Manufacturing
—Buck Throckmorton
The March jobs report was released last week, and it “unexpectedly” showed that jobs are being created in numbers well in excess of what was predicted by “experts.”
178,000 jobs were created, and the unemployment rate fell to 4.3%. This happened despite the number of federal employees being at the lowest level since the mid-1960s (thanks to Trump and DOGE taking a chainsaw to the government payroll.)
Left-wing partisans and tariff-hating “free traders” who seek to enrich China at the expense of the U.S. have been blind to what is going on. But thanks to the tariff regimen imposed by Donald Trump, there is an industrial renaissance blossoming across America.
I write a lot about the auto industry, because I know it very well. What I am seeing is a massive reinvestment in auto manufacturing in this country, and it is reasonable to extrapolate that there is similar industrial reinvestment in other industries.
Nearly every major auto manufacturer is committing billions of dollars to new plants, or expanding existing plants. The announcements for these projects tend to include some statement to the effect of ”We want to move vehicle production closer to our customers,” while also acknowledging that tariffs are a compelling incentive to bring manufacturing to the states.
Before Trump-era tariffs, Nissan was domestically manufacturing about 45% of the vehicles it sells in the U.S. That figure now exceeds 60% and the company is targeting 80% in the near future. Nissan has recently expanded its Tennessee plant, and its chief executive for the Americas, Christian Meunier, was recently quoted as saying, “The tariff was not a bad thing for us because it forced us to really accelerate our plan. We need to build where we sell. There’s no magic.”
Just a few days ago, Hyundai’s CEO announced a major new American expansion, spending another $26 billion and creating 25,000 new direct jobs. Hyundai is also aiming for 80% of its U.S. sales to be vehicles manufactured domestically.
“Toyota’s investment in the U.S. is for the long-term, tied to our philosophy of building where we sell and buying where we build,” Toyota Motor North America Chief Operating Officer Mark Templin said in a statement.
I live in the South, in an area ringed by auto assembly plants built in recent decades. Those plants have brought a great deal of prosperity – not just directly from jobs at those plants, but in suppliers that have sprung up, and suppliers to suppliers, etc. There is wealth being created and cash flowing in, and the prosperity continues to circulate and recirculate from all the jobs and spending within those supply chains.
And remember, what I’m discussing here is just from the auto industry. The industrial renaissance is across all industries.
[Rail] carloads increased 6.5% year-over-year, led by gains in grain, coal, and other industrial products. Year-to-date shipments were the highest since 2023, wrote Rand Ghayad, chief economist for the Association of American Railroads, in a monthly analysis.
You are not bullish enough.
The trucking market is an 11 out of a 10 right now, with some the strongest charts since COVID.
The resurgence of the US industrial economy and manufacturing renaissance is real, along with tightening capacity.
Thank you President Trump for re-industrializing the United States, and for the jobs and prosperity being created in this new industrial era in America.
Despite President Donald Trump winning on the promise of “mass deportations,” a handful of spineless Republicans, alongside Democrats, are trying to push a mass amnesty act known as the DIGNIDAD Act — or, for English speakers, the DIGNITY Act.
The legislation is billed as not being amnesty, but would give millions of illegal aliens — both so-called DREAMers/DACA and non-DREAMers/DACA — a legal status. But co-sponsor Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar, R-Fla., insists it’s not amnesty, so much so that she’s screaming at people on X to “READ. THE. BILL. BEFORE. YOU. OPEN. YOUR. MOUTH.”
So I read the bill.
And frankly, it might be worse than just amnesty
And it is. In the near term it will be the MAGA movement's death knell and in the long term as I stated it will cement imported alien cultures antithetical to any semblance of America as founded and indeed given the nature of Islam, one that seeks our submission or death on its unholy quest to conquer the world, by subsubsuming the one adversary that has until now effectively held it in check, that being the United States of America. And the word"United" is seriously in doubt in 2026 as we approach or 250th anniversary. And yet. . .
The past five years have seen a massive migration of Americans out of heavily Democratic counties and into ones where Donald Trump won majorities in each of the past three elections. That’s according to an exclusive analysis by Issues & Insights of the latest Census Bureau and election data.
Most analyses of internal migration patterns look only at state-level data. And what they show is that blue states are losing population to red states, and have been for many years.
I&I wanted to go deeper, so we used the latest Census data on migration between counties, and compared that with how these counties voted in the past three presidential elections.
What we found was that millions aren’t just moving out of blue states, but are moving out of blue counties within states.
Trump won 2,589 counties in each of the past three elections. From 2020 to 2025, those counties gained 5.4 million people due to net migration — which measures how many people move into and out of an area. The 433 counties where Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, and Kamala Harris carried the day saw a net loss of 5.43 million people.
And the 121 counties in which Trump won at least one of the past three elections saw a net gain of 29,000 people over those years.
Keep hope alive my friends, but buy firearms an ammo all the same.
Have a great weekend!

Brig. Gen. Esmail Qaani, commander of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Quds Force, resurfaced on Thursday with a message to his forces, after an absence that led to speculation that he was killed by a U.S. or Israeli airstrike. Iran’s Quds Force Chief Esmail Qaani Resurfaces After Disappearance Sparks Rumors
Undaunted by Iran’s claim that its ceasefire agreement was conditioned on Israel halting its operations against Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) launched another round of airstrikes in Lebanon on Thursday. Iran responded by declaring the Strait of Hormuz is once again closed to commercial traffic, but nevertheless appears willing to proceed with peace talks in Pakistan this weekend. Israel Escalates Attacks on Lebanon as Iran Blocks Strait of Hormuz
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a short statement saying that he had instructed his cabinet to allow negotiations with Lebanon with the goal of “establishing peace relations,” according to Euro News. The move comes after Israel launched a series of devastating strikes on Hezbollah targets in Lebanon despite a temporary ceasefire in the region. Israel Opens Talks With Lebanon After U.S. Reportedly Pressures Country To Tone Down Strikes
Iran has engaged in a sustained missile and drone bombing campaign against its Gulf neighbors since February 28, when President Donald Trump announced a military operation to eliminate Iran’s ability to threaten its neighbors. That initiative, Operation Epic Fury, resulted in the deaths of dozens of senior Iranian officials, including dictator Ali Khamenei, and the elimination of much of Iran’s military arsenal. Saudi Arabia and Iran Hold First Talks Since War
These negotiations can only occur if the ceasefire holds, which is already under question. All sides seem to agree on the broad outlines of the deal, that hostilities will pause for two weeks and the Strait of Hormuz will open during that period. But Iran now claims that the deal requires Israel to stop its campaign against Hezbollah, and Israel and the United States do not agree. If Iran’s leaders attempt to close the Strait, that will violate one of President Trump’s red lines and, presumably, restart the fighting.
...I think this presents, not only a challenge to us as it applies to negotiating some sort of a ceasefire or some terms where we can [have] a cessation of hostilities, as it were, but also presents a challenge to the Iranian people, in that the IRGC are extremely ideologically motivated and anyone, obviously, that stands against them does so at their own peril, and, yet, there are millions and millions of Iranians that are crying out for liberation that are actually applauding and supporting President Trump in what he’s trying to do. And so, there are various challenges being presented by this decimated leadership, and those that have emerged now at the top of the leadership struggle, I think, are exacerbating those problems.” House Intel.

Like General Patton, President Trump also understands how to express himself in a way that serves the dual purpose of communicating with America’s enemies and, at the same time, with the American people. President Trump’s Double-Dirty Message to Iran
Douglas MurrayA great scholar of the Islamic world — Bernard Lewis — was once asked the main difference between the Islamist and Western mind. He replied that whereas we in the West think in two-year electoral cycles — four years at most — the Islamist mind sees a decade as the very shortest measure of time. I was reminded of that comment this week as a tentative ceasefire came into effect in the Middle East. It is too early to know whether the latest ceasefire will hold. But it is early enough to know that it should not. Not if America is going to achieve any of its objectives in the region.: . . . Let us say that the Republicans do lose both Houses in November. Will a weakened administration have the free reign it does now? I doubt it. And what of 2028 onwards? Will a President Newsom or AOC show the kind of determination President Trump has demonstrated to prevent the Middle East descending into a nuclear arms race? I think we all know the answer to that. Which is why this window of time is so important. We must crush Iran now so it can’t come back and spread terror
The White House hopes to ease gas prices further and boost the stock market while Iran tramples on international law to do so: Under the customary law of the sea, the Strait of Hormuz is an international passage that must remain free to all. Nonetheless, Trump still has significant leverage by imposing a two-week deadline to achieve a deal, or combat operations will resume at an accelerated pace. However, the regime likely has a different plan: drag out negotiations beyond the two weeks to extend the cease-fire. Iran will try to string us along and sell us a bad deal — but businessman Trump won’t let it happen
The “doves” on the right have spent weeks being derided as “panicans.” But their warnings: that another Middle East war would spook voters, push up prices, and hand Democrats a line of attack before the midterms have all come to pass. The polling underscores how they weren’t imagining it. But the real panicans are not the anti-war voices. The real panicans are the corporate suits who see a crisis, grab a mic, and start leveraging the war for their own greed. The REAL Panicans Are In Corporate America. And They Should Know Better.

Not only does such a threat make someone doubt their safety in a place they’ve gotten comfortable with. But it also takes hours of time from police to investigate. And that time could easily be better spent solving other crimes or apprehending suspects doing more dangerous things. But what really hurts the worst is when someone calls in bomb threats to schools. These are the least deserving places for these kinds of threats, but this week, we’ve seen not one but two different school districts hit with such threats. Why Are Certain School Districts Suddenly Getting Hit With Robocall Bomb Threats?
A radical Bronx judge’s outrageous 3- to 9-year prison sentence for NYPD Sergeant Erik Duran surely qualifies as one of the worst judicial abuses ever to come out of a US courtroom.

By removing climate-based micromanagement from everyday life, the EPA has opened the door for consumer preference and market demand to reclaim their rightful place in shaping innovation.
EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin walked onto the Heartland Institute’s climate summit on Wednesday and did something the radical left can’t tolerate: He told the truth about the climate racket. He blasted the fear merchants, defended American energy, and made it clear that the days of handing blank checks to climate zealots are over. For the left, which has treated climate alarmism like a religion, to hear that from the EPA administrator has to sting. This Is the Best Thing You’ve Heard an EPA Administrator Say

That's the equivalent of 70 billion Apple II floppy disks, or the total data in all the DNA strands of six and a half dromedaries.*
CNN cannot verify the origins of the alleged dataset and the claims made by FlamingChina, but spoke with multiple experts whose initial assessment of the leak indicated it was genuine.
The alleged sample data appeared to include documents marked "secret" in Chinese, along with technical files, animated simulations and renderings of defense equipment including bombs and missiles.
Oops.
Hofer, who reviewed the sample of the leak, said he was able to contact on Telegram a person who claimed they had carried out the hack. The attacker claimed to have gained access to the Tianjin supercomputer through a compromised VPN domain.
Once inside, the attacker told Hofer they deployed a "botnet" - a network of automated programs that were able enter the NSCC's system and then extract, download and store the data. The extraction of 10 petabytes of data took around six months.
One question arises: Where did the hacker get 70 billion Apple II floppies?**

It drops straight into the classic 40-pin DIP socket and works just like the original.
Except that it's actually emulated on a dual-core Arm chip running at up to 300MHz with hardware assist to drive all the pins at the precise timing in the specs. And it has 8MB of RAM, with half of that addressed as 64 banks of 64k. And an MMU that allows 512 byte pages to be remapped arbitrarily. Oh, and 16MB of flash storage. And wifi and Bluetooth and a microSD card - yes, all of that fits within the 40 pin package.

And yes, they've tested both in classic hardware and they really work.

An upstate New York man who had his alligator seized after sharing a home for more than three decades has given up his court fight to get back the reptile he affectionately named Albert.
Tony Cavallaro sued the state Department of Environmental Conservation after officers met him with a warrant in the driveway of his home in the Buffalo suburb of Hamburg in March 2024. The officers sedated the 12-foot (3.6-meter), 750-pound (340-kilogram) alligator and drove him away in a van.
Albert, who lived in an indoor swimming pool, eventually ended up in a sanctuary in Texas.
Cavallaro sued over the state’s denial of a license to keep Albert. But the 66-year-old said Thursday that the legal action had consumed his life for two years. With no quick end in sight, he decided last month that he couldn’t deal with the exhausting battle anymore.

Cavallaro said he has not seen Albert since the animal was taken away, though he has seen photographs.
“I’m not at peace. I don’t think I ever will be,” he said. “I’m very angry about the whole thing.”

At what age are you legally required to stop being a spaz?
For twenty years, O'Donnell has been losing it on TV. His signature tantrums include his jugular vein popping out and his classic Irish face turning beet red.
On Tuesday night, O'Donnell struck a blow for women's equality by lambasting Secretary of War Pete Hegseth for pointing out what had been U.S. military policy for about 250 years. Commenting on the rescue of the weapons specialist from the downed F-15, Hegseth said, "No Lives were Lost, No Man was Left Behind."
"That is, of course, the old school version of the idea, back when only men flew American military planes," O'Donnell informed us. He then played a clip that showed the "modern way" the phrase should be uttered. Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman (that's "chairman) Gen. Dan Caine, declaring that America leaves "no one behind."
"The general knows, unlike Pete Hegseth, that that could have been a woman they were trying to rescue -- and it might be a woman the next time," O'Donnell said.
I doubt it.
"But this 21st-century notion that we leave no one behind ignores the 120,000 prisoners of war held by German and Japanese forces in World War II for years, who were left behind."
What are you talking about? We invaded Germany as soon as we were capable of it and dropped two nuclear bombs on Japan to force them into unilateral surrender.
Old, decrepit libs continue talking like absolute moronic children because they are so in love with the idea of "youth" -- an idea they can barely remember -- they make themselves deliberately flighty, frivolous, stupid, and irresponsible in hopes that someone will mistake this for "having a young mind."

Are OnlyFans models the best way to explain the climate crisis?
Actor Megan Prescott has joined with Adam McKay in the hope that showing bite-size web videos of women undressing will persuade us to save the world. Will it work?
Why would anyone want to see this pyrsyn unclothed? Or clothed? Pick one, I don't want either.
The world, as we know, is in trouble. The last three years have been the hottest ever recorded. Global emissions are still at record highs. The planet is now consistently flirting with the 1.5C limit it promised not to cross. Increasingly, it feels as if we need a genuine miracle to stop us from sleepwalking into catastrophe. Could that miracle be an environmental warning from a woman in her pants?
This is the stated desire of Headline Newds, a new series of web videos by actor Megan Prescott, film-maker Bree Essrig and "climate narrative strategist" Jessica Riches. Released through the not-for-profit Yellow Dot Studios -- belonging to Adam McKay, creator of movies The Big Short and Don't Look Up -- Headline Newds is made up of bite-size videos in which the climate emergency is broken down and raunchily explained to us by a variety of OnlyFans models.

UPDATE: Video allegedly from INSIDE the Ontario, California, warehouse where 29-year-old Chamel Abdulkarim of Highland started a fire on Tuesday that torched that building operated by consumer goods company Kimberly-Clark in San Bernardino County.
The original Instagram account with Abdulkarim's name has been suspended, but not before this video was captured.
In this video, Abdulkarim can be heard saying:
"You know, if you're not going to pay us enough to live or afford to live, at least pay us enough to not do this sh**."
"You should have paid us enough to f***ing live."
"You know, we may not get paid enough to f***ing live, but these b****es dirt cheap."
"All you had to do was pay us enough to live. All you had to do was pay us enough to f***ing live. All you had to do was pay us enough to live."
"There goes your inventory."
Abdulkarim was caught near the warehouse while the fire still raged.
He is being held without bail and is accused of intentionally setting ablaze the nearly-1.2 million square foot building.
Over 140 firefighters worked like heroes to put out the fire that burned all day, leveling the warehouse that's worth an estimated $156 million, based on Zillow.
By the way, the media refuses to report that this criminal terrorist is an immigrant, but Grok says it has discovered records showing he's from Eritrea:
Public reports and social media discussions describe him as originally from Eritrea (with some mentions of birth in Saudi Arabia to Eritrean parents or connections). Eritrea is in the Horn of Africa, and the name "Abdulkarim" (or variants like Abdul Karim) has Arabic/Islamic roots common in Eritrean and broader East African/Middle Eastern communities. He appears to have immigrated to the United States at some point and is now living and working there as an adult.
No mainstream news articles provide a full official biography (e.g., exact birth date/place, year of immigration, or citizenship status), as coverage has focused on the arson case itself. However, the consistent references to him being "originally from Eritrea" while residing in California confirm immigrant background. He is not described as U.S.-born in any available reporting.
Boy immigrants sure do add a lot to our economy and culture. Say, why don't we have a study to actually add up the exact contributions and exact debits racked up by immigrants? Including piracy, of course, and endless welfare dependency, and deaths due to terrorism, and the economic losses suffered due to waiting in line for security checks, and the costs of additional security, surveillance, and insurance to cover terrorist attacks, etc.
I said a long time ago that designer complicated pronouns are just names we have to memorize for each individual person. And the whole point of simple, limited pronouns is that we don't have to know and memorize everyone's individual name. We can just casually say "He's over there" instead of "Viktor Yvegeny Raskalnikov is over there."
But as the number of bespoke pronouns proliferates, they just become second names mutants are forcing the world to learn.
A queer Canadian academic who identifies as trans and is a parent to three non-binary children, was torched online after wanting to be called an absurd name.
The Assistant Professor of Queer Studies in Education at the University of Regina in Saskatchewan asked that others use the name j wallace skelton in lieu of third-person pronouns.
Skelton, who has a PhD in Education, noted on Facebook that the name should be spelled with lowercase letters - as he reiterated that he gave birth to three children who identify as nonbinary and queer.
'When you misgender someone, you tell a lie about them and a truth about yourself,' reads Skelton's personal website.
Users online expressed their extreme disapproval, describing the assistant professor as 'sick', 'mentally disturbed', and 'a self-hating woman'.
Skelton, who appears as a man sporting a goatee, began working at the University of Regina in 2022, where he invites students to take courses in queer and trans studies.
I mean it's insane, narcissistic, and a power-move control move imposed upon the world, but it's no different from everyone having xis or xers designer individualized "pronouns," is it? It's just stripping pronouns of the one thing that makes them useful -- their simplicity and generality.

MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA stands for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, Two-Spirit, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Intersex individuals, highlighting the crisis of violence and discrimination faced by these groups in Canada. This term encompasses the ongoing issues related to the high rates of violence and murder against Indigenous women and gender-diverse people

Except that whole claim about the Indians murdered and buried on the church grounds turned out to be, get this, another huge race hoax.
Five people arrested in California crackdown on hospice fraud, with more arrests to come
According to California Attorney General Rob Bonta, the scheme defrauded California of $267 million using bogus charges to the state's Medicaid program.
The California Department of Justice has arrested five people as part of a crackdown on hospice fraud in the state.
The suspects were part of an alleged hospice fraud ring, CBS News reported Wednesday.
...
The state Justice Department, in a joint operation with other state agencies, alleges the suspects purchased identifying information for non-California residents from the dark web and enrolled them in the state Medicaid program. Straw owners bought 14 hospice companies, then billed the state for hospice care for the stolen identities.
The hospice companies were state-licensed and approved by the California Health and Human Services Agency.
Note Newsom only ordered this because Mehmet Oz is investigating this fraud and he wants to prove he can be a Real President.
Great job, Newsom. Give yourself another big $19 million taxpayer funded advertising campaign to show the public what a great president you'd be.
From April 2: CBS is the only network "news" division covering this.

I don't mean that they're going crazy. That ship sailed around the time they started saying "sex assigned at birth."
I mean, they're literally losing the ability to shape the narratives that determine what most Americans perceive as "reality."
They know it's happening, and they know exactly who to blame: a Trump-aligned billionaire named David Ellison.
Last year, his film production company Skydance (which gave us the refreshingly patriotic "Top Gun: Maverick") bought Paramount, giving Ellison ownership of CBS News.
A few months later, he bought news site The Free Press and installed its founder -- anti-woke, classical liberal Bari Weiss -- as CBS's editor-in-chief.
The change was obvious right away. Weiss refused to allow a story about President Trump's deportation policy to run without proper context. Then, at a time when most mainstream outlets were scoffing at the administration's war on health care fraud, CBS sent a reporter to pound the pavement and discover the true extent of these scams.
But Ellison wasn't done. Late last month, Ellison inked a deal to acquire Warner Bros.-Discovery and its vast stable of media assets, including CNN.
This is a disaster for the Democrats. Bernie Sanders took to X to warn of a right-wing "oligarchy." Elizabeth Warren signed a letter expressing "concerns" that the deal might violate antitrust law, even though she barely objected when the reliably liberal Netflix, which raised far more antitrust red flags, was in line to buy Warner Bros.
Warren, Bernie, and the rest of their tribe know that their empire of bias is beginning to collapse.
It once seemed indestructible. Liberals control the entire educational establishment at every level: textbook publishers, teachers' unions, school administrators, universities, and the foundations that hand out research grants.
They also control the paper of record in nearly every major city, almost all TV news, and the entire entertainment industry.
And yet it turns out this entire infrastructure is so fragile that they can't let a single node be controlled by an outsider.
Those who operate within this network aren't usually aware that they're engaged in information warfare against the American people. The liberal narrative relies on a subtle form of self-deception to perpetuate itself.
These people spend their lives sitting in classrooms and lecture halls, streaming Netflix dramas, nodding along to New Yorker articles, and laughing at John Oliver's jokes. Everywhere they turn, it's the same message, with the occasional approved bit of heterodoxy to keep things interesting. The medium is also the message: its consistency across every prestigious institution creates the impression that everyone who's even a little bit compassionate, intelligent, or cool believes all the same things.
Because Ellison also bought -- unwisely, I think -- Warner Bros., that means CNN will also be under his command when the purchase is approved by the FCC later this year.
Politico is reporting that multiple people have abruptly resigned from Eric Swalwell's gubernatorial campaign: "Members of senior leadership have departed the campaign, including Courtni Pugh, a strategic adviser who served as Swalwell's top liaison to organized labor groups."
So the campaign is collapsing due to the truth of the sexual harassment allegations.
That hissing sound you hear is the air going out of the Swalwell campaign. UPDATE: No it wasn't, it was just Swalwell one-cheek-sneaking out a fart on camera
Eric Swalwell more like Eric Farewell amirite

This is the dumbest AI bullslop I've seen in a while: the CIA can use "quantum magnetometry" to track an individual man's heartbeat from twelve miles away I wouldn't click on it, it's not interesting, it's just stupid clickslop. I just want to share my annoyance with you.

Oh, but then, you never were afraid

Oh, but it's alright with me now
'Cause I'll get back up somehow
And with a little luck, yes, I'm bound to win Now twenty people will tell me it's not obscure, it was huge in their hometown and played at their prom. That's how it usually goes.

In more marketing for Project Hail Mary, scientists say they've found the biosigns indicating life growing on an alien planet. It's not proof, just signatures of chemicals that are produced by biological metabolism, and it could be nothing, but scientists think it's a strong sign that this planet is inhabited by something.
In a paper published in the Astrophysical Journal Letters, a team of scientists announced the detection of dimethyl sulfide (along with a similar detection of dimethyl disulfide) in the atmosphere of an exoplanet called K2-18b. This is actually the second detection of dimethyl sulfide made on this planet, following a tentative detection in 2023.
Tons of chemicals are detected in the atmospheres of celestial objects every day. But dimethyl sulfide is different, because on Earth, it's only produced by living organisms.
"It is a shock to the system," Nikku Madhusudhan, first author on the paper, told the New York Times. "We spent an enormous amount of time just trying to get rid of the signal."
He means they tried to prove the signal was caused by things other than dimethyl sulfide but they could not.
What? Skeleton of the most famous Musketeer, D'Artagnan, possibly discovered in Dutch church closet. Dumas picked four names of real musketeers out of a history book, D'Artagnan, Athos, Aramis, and Porthos. So there was an actual D'Artagnan, though he made most of the story up. (Or, you know, all of it.)*
Charles de Batz de Castelmore, known as d'Artagnan, the famous musketeer of Kings Louis XIII and Louis XIV, spent his life in the service of the French crown.
The Gascon nobleman inspired Alexandre Dumas's hero in "The Three Musketeers" in the 19th century, a character now known worldwide thanks to the novel and numerous film adaptations.
D'Artagnan was killed during the siege of Maastricht in 1673, and there is a statue honoring the musketeer in the city. His final resting place has remained a mystery ever since.
A lot of Dumas's stories are based on bits of real history. The plot of the >Three Musketeers, about trying to recover lost diamonds from the queen's necklace, was cribbed from the then-almost-contemporaneous Affair of the Queen's Necklace. And the Man in the Iron Mask is based on real accounts of a prisoner forced to wear a mask (though I think it was a velvet mask).
* Oh, I should mention, Dumas says all this, about finding the names in an old book, in the prologue to his novel. But authors lie a lot. They frequently present fictions as based on historic fact. The twist is, he was actually telling the truth here. At least about these four musketeers having actually existed and served under Louis XIV. Fun fact: You know the beginning of A Fistful of Dollars where the local gunslingers make fun of Clint Eastwood's donkey and Eastwood demands they apologize to the donkey? That's lifted from The Three Musketeers. Rochefort mocks D'Artagnan's old, brokedown farm horse and D'Artagnan is incensed.
A commenter asked which should be read first, The Hobbit of LOTR? Easy, no question -- read The Hobbit first. It's actually the start of the story and comes first chronologically. It sets up some major characters and major pieces in play in LOTR. Also, the Hobbit is Beginner-Friendly, which LOTR isn't. The Hobbit really is a delightful book, and a fast read. It's chatty, it's casual, it's exciting, and it's funny. In that dry cheeky British humor way. I love that the narrator is constantly making little asides and commentary, like he's just sitting next to you telling you this story as it occurs to him.
LOTR is a very long story. Fifteen hundred pages or so. The Hobbit is relatively short and very punchy and easy to read. If you don't like The Hobbit, you can skip out on LOTR. If you do like it, you'll be primed to read LOTR.
Oh, I should say: The Hobbit is written as if it's for children, but one of those smart children's stories that are also for adults. Don't worry, there's also real fighting and violence and horror in it, too. LOTR is written for adults. (It's said that Tolkien wrote both for his children, but LOTR was written 17 years later, when his children were adults.) Some might not like The Hobbit due to its sometimes frivolous tone. Me, I love it. I find it constantly amusing. Both are really good but there is a starkly different tone to both. LOTR is epic, grand, and serious, about a world war, The Hobbit is light and breezy, and about a heist. Though a heist that culminates in a war for the spoils.
