Wednesday Open Thread

by Carl Ballard — Wednesday, 10/29/25, 8:15 am

  • SNAP benefits run out at the end of the month if the government remains unfunded. And while Washington State is doing some things to fill the gap, your local food bank could use some cash. If you’re looking for one, you can’t go wrong with the Ballard Food Bank.
  • This story about a biodigester is pretty cool.
  • Spokane’s solution to homelessness is pretty awful.
  • What was the point of running on auditing the budget, if you’re just going to not?

    Fat Hitler’s MAGAstapo has been forced to admit under sworn testimony that their use of a privately developed and admittedly very technically flawed mobile biometrics software app they carry on their phones is considered by the agency to provide a definitive determination of the immigration status of any person scanned with it. And that this determination overcomes all other evidence including valid state and even U.S. State Department issued documents like passports, birth certificates, etc.

    Good point!

    Maduro is an odious dictator, but it’s hard to see his regime as a threat sufficient to warrant armed intervention. The regime-change policy is also riddled with numerous contradictions and inconsistencies that are likely to doom it. For example, if the boat strikes are supposed to deny Maduro drug-smuggling revenue, then why did the Trump administration approve a license for Chevron to pump oil in Venezuela? That will help fund the regime it hates.

    After a day of deliberation Jury finds Sean Grayson guilty of murder.

    Grayson is the former Peoria Sheriff deputy who bounced around multiple departments with misconduct complaints following him who shot a woman who called for police assistance when she moved the pot on her stove.

    Jurors were told the distance between the officer and the woman, shown videos of the waist high counter between them, the recording of Grayson ordering her to move the pot off the stove, the bodycam of his partner who did not draw a weapon when faced with the same ‘threat’, Grayson screaming that he would shoot her in the face and the actual small stockpot at trail.

    Update from The Netherlands , looks like a Centrist party, D66 is narrowly ahead of PVV(Wilders) according to Exit Polls. Looks like another country with polling that is usually accurate has fallen. Wilders had been ahead or tied most of the campaign since he withdrew from the Coalition and forced this election. Besides Immigration, housing had been a big issue in the campaign.

    https://www.dw.com/en/centrist-party-leads-far-right-in-close-dutch-election-initial-exit-poll-shows/a-74535037?at_medium=PushNotification&at_dw_language

    Netherlands uses a List PR system, and all 150 seats are elected in a Nationwide District, but no threshold, and voters can vote for an individual candidate if they want. No Gerrymandering, but any party that gets about .70% gets at least one seat.

    @23 What work did he perform for UMAC? None. The shareholder value* he added was his name and connections, same as Hunter Biden on Burisma’s board. And how valuable are his connections? Value Line says,

    Unusual Machines, Inc. engages in the commercial drone industry with its principal place of business in Orlando, Florida. The company specializes in the production and sale of small drones and essential components through B2B sales and a curated retail channel. There is strong brand recognition of the Rotor Riot and Fat Shark brands particularly in the FPV sub-segment of the drone market. Unusual Machines intends to build its business both organically and through strategic acquisitions while onshoring production of critical drone components. With the transition to onshoring production of drone components, the company is expanding into B2B channels for customers that require a non-Chinese supply chain. A major factor in Unusual Machines’ component production is the validation of the new supply chains. The Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) audits new drone components for supply chain and cyber security risks. Has 16 employees.

    [italics added]

    I can already see the no-bid contracts pouring in, can you?

    * If there is any; the company has no P/E, trailing or forward, because it’s never turned a profit and isn’t expected to anytime soon, so UMAC is strictly a “meme” stock whose price has been bid up on something other than business fundamentals — the kind of stock I wouldn’t touch, but I can readily imagine a gambler like Doctor Dumbfuck taking a flyer on options.

    Back in June, Newsweek reported that

    Peter Andrew Stinson, a former Coast Guard lieutenant, expert sharpshooter, and former Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) instructor has been arrested and charged with threatening to kill President Donald Trump.

    According to charging documents, first reported by CBS News’ Scott MacFarlane on X, formerly Twitter, the case includes an extensive record of social media posts spanning from 2020 through last week.

    Federal prosecutors say the social media posts include separate, explicit threats by Stinson to use a gun, knife and poison President Trump.

    https://www.newsweek.com/pete-stinson-ex-coast-guard-officer-charged-threating-kill-trump-2086414

    Today a jury, after deliberating less than a day, refused to convict Stinson of a crime.

No, he’s not needed u til they actually agree on a cabinet, so no need for him to ask KLM if there is. a flight to fill in on,(King Willem Alexander is Rated commercial pilot who occasionally does fly a revenue flight for KLM CityHopper) First the likely parliamentary groups meet, pick their leaders, and then all agree on a scout to begin the negotiations. It’s cumbersome, but since it’s not Winner Take All, can’t do the way it’s done in the UK and Commonwealth. Majorities are more common there, Holland, the Exit Polls show the top parties will be 50 seats short of the number for a majority if they governed alone.

To me, it’s the most important season series for them, as it’s the continuation of Permanently Unfinished Business Seattle Hockey has with Montreal from 1919. Technically Montreal forfeited, but the Metropolitans coached reduced to accept it, saying the Flu was not a reason for a forfeit. There is a good reason to not retroactively accept a rejected forfeit. The Arizona Cardinals being a continuation of the Chicago Cardinals, haven’t had only one one Championship (ore-Super Bow at that) since Bidwell accepted the championship the Pottsville Maroons had to forfeit in the 20s.

    Stand your ground laws encourage people to shoot first and ask questions later. It’s a license to kill that makes all of us less safe.

    These legally sanctioned killings are on the rise and must be stopped.

    Final seat count in The Netherlands looks tight between D66 and Wilders/PVV. Coalition forming will be interesting, both are 50 seats short of a majority, and since the last government lasted 11 months with Wilders in it, probably will avoid him.

    @65 I’m against gerrymandering in principle, because in theory I think everyone should have representation in the political system, but this assumes all parties are equally committed to a democratic process, which clearly is no longer the case in America. We’re in “fight fire with fire” mode now. Republicans are solely at fault for that, and they’re also children who must be told what to do and how to behave, so fuck ’em. Democracy doesn’t work in a kindergarten.

    78)Been against it since I learned about more property systems. Although Gerrymandering still occurs in multi-seat districts, it’s more prone to backfiring. Such as in Ireland, the Finna Gail party’s infamous attempt to capitalize on their opponents low support in Greater Dublin by making all GDA Constituencies 3 seats each, but it only worked if their opponents support in those constituencies stayed below 40%, which by election time, it had rebounded. Instead of limiting the opposition to 1 seat each in those districts, they got two. Next government pushed a Constitutional amendment to take redrawing Constituencies out of tge hands of members of the Dail.

    Yesterday’s Dutch Election shows at least one downside of PR. Under the Dutch system, only need .67% to win 1 seat. There were several with more than 10. It’s because of the whole country being one district. The German and Irish system and their offshoots allow for geographic representation, and some variation takes party control out of it.

    That’s in the hands of the politicians you have consistently backed throughout your entire adult life despite all the mounting evidence that this is who they are.

    If YOU really cared about children being raped and tortured you would have mended your ways long ago. But you did not. You want justice. We all do. But you got mad about bathrooms and COVID shutdown. And in your childish anger you smashed justice into a million pieces.

    And so here we are.

    ATC ground stop has now spread to Reagan International in DC overnight. All because the Republican Party is devoted to protecting pedophilia.
