One of many things that lives in my head rent free was a dude posting on reddit to ask if Soylent was perfectly engineered for only what his body needed, why was he still pooping? He was very pro-Soylent, just curious.

what if you're a big fan of Soylent because eating is just too much of a bother

Any San Antonio representative who approached the Spurs about a new taxpayer-funded arena, when the team wasn't asking for one, should be recalled from office, immediately.

Sports venue subsidies are not the product of teams extracting consumer surplus through relocation threats. The cause is local leaders who benefit from the perks associated with professional sports, who willingly hand out taxpayer dollars for access. woai.iheart.com/featured/san...

Since Link is banned, his mutual aid Fridays have gone with him. This was one of the most altruistic things I’ve seen anyone on this site do.

In light of this, I’m gonna try to fill the gap.

Drop your mutual aid requests under this thread and I will repost them for as long as I can.

Letitia James is accused of lying so she could pay $19,000 less in interest on a home loan.

That’s less than half the $50,000 cash that Tom Homan took as a straight bribe.

Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show.

She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms.

It was something in Doc Smith's Lensmen series... the main character is supposed to make perfect people with his sisters.

Which he has also done. He gave the robber baron a temporary position, in fact.

If people preventing the Epstein files from being released are named in them, or trying to indefinitely delay their release at the direction of some who is named, how is that not obstruction?
Add it to the growing list of illegal behavior by the Regime.

the most delightful version of logging on to see what news you've missed

Dr Ramsdell, whose phone had been on airplane mode when the Nobel committee tried to call him, told the BBC's Newshour Programme that his first response when his wife said, "You've won the Nobel prize" was: "I did not."

To which Ms O'Neill replied that she had 200 text messages that suggested he had.

if you're willing to sacrifice some groups for your personal safety, i'm going to assume you'll sacrifice anyone. Either we all get humanity and rights or none of us will. Because nobody is voting for another centrist Dem trying to move the party right. that shit is over.

Don’t quote me on the numbers but it looks DFAS (Defense Finance Accounting Service) fucked up the pay and leave of somewhere around ~180K Air Force employees. If you are an “exempt” employee, you probably didn’t get paid for Oct 1-3, nor did you accrue any leave for the entire pay period.

So, I've had this guy on ignore for a year, largely for being the kind of whiny bastard who gets really upset about games and movies he doesn't like. I'll read him, occasionally, if I feel up to it. But today, he used the word "physiognomy", and that is a bright red flag these days.

Library Ogre @libraryogre.bsky.social · 2d

Oh, FUCK. We just got word that Baker & Taylor is "wind[ing] down the business". This is going to fuck up libraries (at least in Texas) for MONTHS, if not a year.
