My wife looks at me like I'm nuts when I put creatures outside instead of squishing them. Maybe being closer to the end of life makes one more sensitive to taking it from others.

Any word on when TXSE will start up? Supposedly the infrastructure was laid months ago and the rumor was early 2026…

Somehow I can't quite fantom that the US is about the same as Malaysia or Romania. On the other hand free countries are all about equal, you're free to go where ever you can go.

An implicit admission that they are glorified babysitters.

@Horace said in Free Press to be bought by CBS parent: Shades of Musk at the beginning of Doge. Hopefully it works out better for Bari than it did for Elon.

He likes to lead with an air of objectivity, research and facts. But I remember a few years ago he had a polemic against a topic I understood very well. It became really easy to see the distortions and lies through omission. Haven't seen his show since.

It got way too mainstream for progressive heads to be so far up progressive asses, that they assumed they could virtue-shame everybody into accepting anything. Interesting to see the trans thing was the turning point. Reasonable case to be made that it was a necessary if not sufficient part of the platform that got Trump elected. Well done, progressives. You led with your hearts, and your hearts led you right into fascism. Oh, the irony. Whatever will the world do now.

George Cuckanopolous got cucked (as is his birthright) by the vice president on national TV, and cut the interview off in a huff. For the record, Cuckanopolous did indeed "insinuate" that the cash transfer was an illegal bribe. But "the cuck", as his friends call him, has no more evidence than anybody else has. That the provider of a certain above-board service, accepted some cash in return for, presumably, that service. Maybe if your entire case would crumble to literally nothing if a check had been written rather than cash, you don't really have much of a case. Here's some discussion. Link to video

Drinking to forget.

@Axtremus said in The Dogs of Chernobyl: Cerberus coming? Boris the Insult Comic Dog.

Is anyone going to tell him how capital letters work? Jesus, it's painful to read.

Another case of the the government wanting immigrants but the people do not: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/14/world/asia/china-stem-visa-racist-backlash.html China Wants Foreign Scientists. The Public Says No, Thanks. Since Beijing announced a new visa to attract young science and technology graduates, a backlash has erupted online, forcing the government to respond.

Let's hope so. Could it also be that guys figured out they were always going to be ugly ass girls?

Hate has no home here, Ax.

@89th said in Hay LD!: I’m in DC. It’s amazing how safe I feel as the military is glued to their phones and eating ice cream. [image: 1760355219180-877a70f6-3fc8-4498-a268-921bdd8195a8-image.png] I don’t get it. I see a couple walking by the water, but otherwise it’s all lawn, paved walkways, and stone walls…

I could possibly see it to try and protect local stores from Amazon, but this actually hurts local restaurants and other businesses that provide local delivery.
