  1. LegalEagle’s piece on Olive vs Buc-Ees was entertaining, but hope the Ohio chain that was there first getting sued, finally brings them down. How can you infringe on a trademark that a small chain that was There for years, didn’t know about?

  2. So on the previous, Dumbfuck points out nVidia’s holdings of SpaceX and doesn’t have the normal takeaway of an investor.

    “Maybe a company being propped up by one of their primary suppliers isn’t particularly financial solid?”

  5. I see that Jason Arday has joined the Boxcheck Momala 2028 presidential campaign exploratory committee.

  8. We shared laughs about both of us racing on that July day in 2024 to inform Boxcheck Momala that we had zero interest in being vetted for VP nominee. Truth be told, I think Hair Gel dissed that bitch first.

    Gretchen Whitmer
    @gretchenwhitmer

    I caught up with a friend https://x.com/gretchenwhitmer/status/2087976946365804955 from out of town. I had to take him to Crunchy’s for a beer. He said to watch This is Gavin Newsom wherever you get your podcasts.

    11:57 AM · Aug 13, 2026

    We laughed so hard at that I pissed myself just a little bit.

  9. And “the right thing to do at the time” was violating the curfews they mandated for everyone else in their respective states.

    RNC Research
    Team Trump (Text TRUMP to 88022)
    @RNCResearch

    Gretchen Whitmer says she and Gavin Newsom did the “right thing” by locking down their states during COVID.

    WHITMER: “Everyone was so pissed off that I pulled kids out of school.”

    NEWSOM: “Yes.”

    WHITMER: “We were doing what we thought was the right thing to do at the time.”

    8:01 AM · Aug 14, 2026

    For Hair Gel “the right thing” was dinner with his unmasked friends at Napa’s French Laundry.

    For True Gretch “the right thing” was hanging out with a dozen of her closest unmasked friends at The Landshark Bar & Grill.

    Now each of these POS governors wants to be your next president. “Sorry your kid can’t read and write because she was forced to homeschool for most of two years. Tony the Taint made us do it. He said it was the right thing to do.”

  10. @6

    Yes remind everyone as often as possible that Governer “10 Commandments Posted in Every Classroom” is really not a freedom of religion guy.

  11. @9:

    “Sorry your kid can’t read and write because she was forced to homeschool for most of two years.”

    That wasn’t “homeschooling.” That was trying to run a classroom online, and it was a failure.

  12. @ 10

    … is really not a freedom of religion guy.

    Why is it that libbies default to the term “freedom from religion” even to the point of establishing foundations with this name unless it’s Islam, in which case they revert to “freedom of religion”?

    And while I’m on the subject, why does http://www.ffrf.org not decry the use of public funds to construct a Muslim foot-washing station? Are there not enough donations coming in to hire people to keep an eye on the Islamic religion as well as on the Christian and Jewish ones?

  13. @ 11

    Noted, with thanks. I was focusing on the snark and not on the accuracy.

    It was a failure, and two more years of pushback against Fauci & Co. will unearth all of it just in time to hurt Democrats in 2028.

    Which is why True Gretch and Hair Gel are working so hard to blame Fauci, while they were merely “following orders”.

  15. @3 So you’ve missed out on the near-doubling of Nvidia’s shares price since I bought mine 18 months ago? Sad. Well, keep repairing the plumbing in your rental units so the horse can eat.

  16. @4 I guess it’s only fair that you make fun of transgender people, since we make fun of you.

    It would be nice if we lived in a world where people respected each other for what they are, and if they can’t be friends at least stayed out of each other’s way, but the reality is the world has Republicans and dumbfucks, too.

  17. Trump will be removed from office by impeachment or via the 25th Amendment by this time next year. He has been compromised by the Zionist lobby.

  18. @12 Freedom of religion includes freedom from religion. It simply means not having someone else’s religion forced on you by government.

    Republicans find both these concepts abhorrent.

  19. @13 Know what else was a failure? The GOP’s anti-fax, anti-mask, anti-social distancing approach to a highly infectious and deadly virus sweeping the country and globe. And asking senior citizens to die so tattoo shops and beach bars could stay open.

    At least the likes of Fauci, Newsom, Whitmer, etc., tried to save your useless life. And yes, they knew better than to expect any gratitude. But why should we be surprised that Doctor Death voted for death, and still advocates for choosing death over health and life?

  20. @17 He will not. Nor by death. If he croaks, GOPers will pull another Mitch McConnell and we’ll have our first “Weekend At Bernies” president.

  21. @ 14

    The conclusion is inescapable: Stupidity is life-shortening.

    Wait until HA’s failed former attorney and perpetual useless, bloviating fool gins up the energy to look at the ethnicity crosstabs and realizes he’s made yet another racist statement.

  22. “Sorry your kid can’t read and write because she was forced to homeschool for most of two years. Tony the Taint made us do it. He said it was the right thing to do.”

    We were told it was public schooling that was at fault for why John and Jane can’t read or write..

    https://horsesass.org/2013/01/18/map/#comment-1210690

    Oh but now HOME SCHOOLING is at fault!

    And we thought dumbfuck was insane about trans people. The shit on teachers is freaking unhinged.. What a shit for brains.

  23. Why is it that libbies default to the term “freedom from religion” even to the point of establishing foundations with this name

    Ron Reagan, life long atheist, never afraid of burning in hell.

    Kreepfuck suffers under the delusion it will live forever which only betrays its fear that it will burn in Hell for eternity like all its fellow klownservaturds tells it. Forsake the booze and the vip lounge.. get right with jeebus dumbfuck. Eternity is a long time..

    Atm, it stinks from its sins. Now wait for it.. “morning dumps”.. (rolls eyes)

  25. two more years of pushback against Fauci & Co. will unearth all of it just in time to hurt Democrats in 2028.

    heh.. from now until November 2028..

    noun, verb, FAUCI’S OUCHIE!..

    Booooriiiing…

  26. @20

    Why is it conservatives make claims about liberals as a straw man?

    You are free to practice whatever you like. We’ve never been butthurt about the chapel at SeaTac even though it is a public facility. You want to go in there and kneel towards Mecca, Trust Jesus, Shiva, the departed ancestors, Allah, Cthulhu, Ganesha, the Goddess of the forest, get down with your freaky self.

    Literally no problem with having a non-denominational quiet place in a public space.

    When Greg Abbott claims a foot washing station (Muslim, Hindu, Catholics during Lent) is illegal because only the one true gospel is allowed…

    It’s the Christian that lose their mother fucking minds about including other faiths, and the Whore of Babylon in that public space.

  27. Bernie Sanders did not endorse Francesca Hong.

    AOC did not endorse Francesca Hong.

    Each of them knew that going full DSA would cost Democrats a governorship.

    Libbies will watch as going full DSA costs Democrats a Senate seat and possibly full control of the US Senate.

    It is nice, is it not, that there are consequences to supporting warmed-over communism. Now, go defund a cop.

  28. @ 24

    Looks like even Muslims can pray there.

    Just not men and women together. So we need a second chapel.

  30. @ 25

    noun, verb, FAUCI’S OUCHIE!..

    Booooriiiing…

    You’re the unserious twit who thought it was boring that the GOP called out Biden’s obvious senility. You even passed it off as a cold, remember that?

    Did you find Election Night 2024 boring as well, YLB? Or when you write “Booooriiiing…” is it code for “This is too hard for me to understand.”?

  31. Barrons magazine says Trump made $2 billion last year. Something-something about Hunter pocketing $5 million from peddling influence he didn’t have, but nary a peep from MAGA or Doctor Dumbfuck about Trump monetizing the very real power of the presidency in myriad ways, from fleecing his supporters by selling them fake crypto to selling insider trading information.

    Barrons predicts if Democrats win Congress this fall, they’ll impeach Trump again. I can’t speak to that, I don’t know what they’ll do, but none of this would be happening if Senate Republicans had done their job the first two times he was impeached instead of putting party loyalty and racist politics above the interests of the country.

  32. @21 I agree that keeping black and brown people in poverty, and denying their families access to health care and their kids adequate nutrition, is racist. But those are your policies, not mine, and I’m not the racist here.

  34. @26 You left out the Great Mother Rabbit Spirit. Aren’t you aware She will rule over this realm after you humans go extinct and we rabbits take over the planet and fill the void with countless baby bunnies?

  35. @27 Another moron who can’t tell the difference between socialism and communism, much less socialism and what is styled as “democratic socialism” in contemporary U.S. politics.

  36. it was boring that the GOP called out Biden’s obvious senility.

    Prove it..

    You even passed it off as a cold, remember that?

    Nope. I passed off his BAD PERFORMANCE at the debate to a cold. Said nothing about his cognitive status, good or bad.

    And based on what I read at CBS news.. but yes, that was pre-tool Bari Weiss, pre-Ellison family.

    Reagan in his first debate with Mondale didn’t come off well either. Trying to dig up facts and figures to counter Mondale, just not his style.

    Obviously you’re triggered over being called out for babbling the talking points you’ve been given for 2028.

    You’re a dull parrot.. yawwwn..

  37. @30 You’re the unserious twit who thought it was boring that the GOP called out Biden’s obvious senility.

    And you’re the unserious horse’s ass pounder who still won’t call out the obvious greed, corruption, and incompetence of the other guy who was on that stage. Nor will you admit you voted for him three times, the last time with full knowledge of how racist he is, although we all know you did.

  41. Iran attacks third UAE tanker within a week

    The United Arab Emirates accused Iran on Saturday of attacking another vessel belonging to its state oil company while it transited through the Strait of Hormuz on Friday, the third such incident in less than a week. … The incident came a day after the UAE blamed Iran for attacks on two other ADNOC tankers traveling through the strait. … Iran has insisted the strait will remain closed until the U.S. meets its conditions for ending the war ….

    https://thehill.com/policy/international/6031505-uae-accuses-iran-strait-hormuz/

    This doesn’t look much like a defeated country.

  42. Bernie Sanders did not endorse Francesca Hong.

    AOC did not endorse Francesca Hong.

    Again this is so dull. What is the big deal about savvy politicians making the call that Hong couldn’t prevail against an orangeman rapist approved, maga rubber stamp klown?

    kreepfuck makes a big deal of it because it’s a maga programmed tool or paid to be that.

  43. Trump will be removed from office by impeachment or via the 25th Amendment by this time next year. He has been compromised by the Zionist lobby.

    Dude, you are delusional. Not happening, it would have already happened. Your King had different things in mind for you. He will anoint a new family member at the appropriate time.

  46. @ 31

    … if Senate Republicans had done their job the first two times he was impeached …

    Senate Republicans didn’t attend the trial and vote? Your memory differs from mine.

  47. So today, August 15, 2026, a player in the St. Louis Cardinals farm system named Joshua Baez who hit 4 home runs in a minor league game in June made his major league debut with the Cardinals, hit a home run on the first pitch, and hit two more home runs in the game.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqTWvqdGc4w

    Doctor Dumbfuck’s baseball career was shorter-lived and less auspicious.

    I’ll bet Cal Raleigh is jealous, too.

  48. @46 So you think their job was to leave a convicted felon who incited a mob to overthrow an election in office?

    Do we need to explain why we call you a dumbfuck?

  49. One would expect German Authorities to handle a rail disaster in a drill better than American Authorities do fo real. This drill in Thuringia, went very wrong, but in fairness, the local emergency services kept getting called to actual emergencies. Plus, in Germany, Civilian Emergency Services are decentralized, but looks like they need better communication. Still using fax machines at the dispatch center. Well better than Serbia, saw a documentary on one of their premier services, the dispatch center still used rotary phones.

    https://today.rtl.lu/news/world/rescue-drill-in-german-train-tunnel-exposes-critical-response-failures-2070750290

    Seems Pierce County WA and Cheriton County, MO had better incident command than this drill. The latter had the benefit of being the Southwest Chief, in the Summer, always Scout Troops on board.

  50. @49 Drills are conducted to reveal problems and correct them before the responders have to do it for real.

  51. THEY FOUND ONE.

    Not really. He’s a US Citizen. And he’s mayonnaise complexion.

    Jeffrey Pope, a 65-year-old Westmoreland County resident, was indicted Tuesday on charges of voter fraud and voting more than once in a federal election.

    I know you can’t imagine what kind of person would move to Alaska and vote there while also voting where he moved from. Did they find a Gregoire vote? Was there bins of ballots under the table in Democrat Philadelphia?

    The Pennsylvania Department of State, which referred the case to the U.S. attorney’s office, said Pope was registered as a Republican.

  52. 59)Especially for command during a large scale emergency, like in this particular drill, an ICE Train(Using it since it’s DB, Siemens is offering it in the North American market as American Pioneer 220, and Valero, the trains actual name. ICE or Inter City Express is actually a trademark service category of DB). Between speed and number of passengers, yhe local services would have their hands full. Like the US, a good portion of their firefighters outside major cities are volunteers. Also, state government there is an interesting excercise in futility trying to hold off the AfD. Christian Democratic Union, with formal support from the Social Democrats, and the anti-woke left leaning BSW, plus informal(no cabinet posts, occasionally votes in support of key legislation) Die Lienke. Shows how desperate the CDU is to maintain the firewall, Merkel Chastised the SDP when they were in coalition for making Die Lienke, the former East German Communists rebranded, coalition partners(although only in Eastern states.)state coalition partners.

    Well, the Ukraine issue was a puff piece. Biden admitted they withheld aim over Hunter being investigated. It was true.

    And, the insurrection argument was more of a puff piece. Video hidden for years showed the police firing into the crowd first. Then, Benny Thompson destroyed Terabytes of collected “evidence”. Why bleach bit terabytes of documentation if it 🤔 damns Trump?

    What racist policies Dumb Bunny? You do realize more MAGA minority groups have recently formed in his support not covered by the lamestream media? And don’t throw out the Newsweek YouGov poll that claimed minority defections. Remember these same people claimed Hong was going to run away with the Wisconsin primary and El Sayed had a huge lead over Stevens.

    And… Trump is still president. Covfefe to that! When looking for a laugh, Puddy will peruse the Friday Night Seattle clown show to identify left wrong stoooooopidity as necessary. Retirement truly has its privileges.

    Goodday!

  55. The delusion returns.

    Well, the Ukraine issue was a puff piece. Biden admitted they withheld aim over Hunter being investigated over the Ukrainian prosecutor NOT investigating Burisma. It was true

    • He’s on the MLB roster. Which means he’s no longer in the farm system.

    • He hit home runs in each of his first three at-bats. Not just three in the game.

    Other than those two misunderstandings and a poorly constructed run-on sentence, you’ve told people what they already know.

    @yashar

    NEW

    An update on the reporting on Kamala Harris’ fundraising email for Alaska Democratic Senate candidate Mary Peltola:

    After former Vice President Kamala Harris’ PAC sent out a joint fundraising email that benefited her PAC and former Congresswoman Mary Peltola’s Senate campaign equally, the NRSC attacked Peltola for associating with Harris.

    Peltola’s campaign, seeking to distance itself from Harris, told the NYT that it had not approved the email Harris sent and had no knowledge of it before it was sent.

    That left the impression that Peltola’s campaign had nothing to do with the email.

    But a source directly familiar with the request confirmed to me that it was Peltola’s campaign that asked Harris’ political operation to send a fundraising email.

    The request from Peltola’s campaign for the email was made in late July.

    I reached out to a spokesman for Peltola’s campaign and have not heard back yet.

    Elizabeth Warren is a current US senator, and yet she does not grace this list. Why do you think that is?

  68. Mark Cuban has something to tell Ro Khanna about the idiotic CA wealth tax:

    IMO, if this passes, only idiot startup founders stay in Cali.

    I’ve done it before and will do it again. Dallas. Pittsburgh. Indiana. I will make NOT being in California a pre requisite for an investment

  70. @55 I’m sure glad Puddy has returned. We need more laughs around here. 🤣😂😅🐰

  72. @56 University of Chicago professor Eman Abdelhadi wants to abolish the police

    If this is true, I won’t vote for her. What office is she running for?

  73. @57 I call out a remarkable sports achievement and the dumbfuck engages in laughable nitpicking. Go figure. I think he’s trying to avoid saying anything good about a baseball player who’s infinitely better than he was, and unlike him, graduated to The Show.

    I’ll bet if Doctor Dumbfuck tried pitching today, every pitch would be a home run. A team would employ him only to wear the covers off baseballs.

  74. As Ebby LaLoosh used to say, “Baseball is a very simple game. You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the ball.” Doctor Dumbfuck couldn’t do any of those, so he decided to fail at medicine instead.

  75. @64 Because Elizabeth Fauxcahontas Warren lied through her teeth to advance her legal academic career

    The problem with this screed is,

    the evidence suggests it’s false to say Warren has “no Indian blood.” Warren’s DNA test, which was analyzed under the supervision of a respected geneticist at Stanford University, demonstrates she very likely has a Native American ancestor.

    https://www.factcheck.org/2018/10/the-facts-on-elizabeth-warrens-dna-test/

    Whether she overplayed it is a matter of personal opinion and political preference.

    Meanwhile, I think we can say with considerable confidence that Doctor Dumbfuck’s DNA is somewhere around 1% to 4% of Neanderthal origin. How much of his children’s DNA, if he has any children, is of equine origin would have to be determined by individual genetic testing.

  76. I suspect Puddy is only visiting, that is, dropping in as it were, and won’t be gracing us with his ongoing presence as in bygone days.

    On the other hand, maybe his intelligent wife left him and he was fired from his job, and now has time on his hands and like the rest of us has nothing better to do than horse around on HA.

  77. @67 Why do you think that is?

    Obviously because the Senate staffer who compiled the list made an editorial decision not to put her on it.

    A question one might ask is, Which party supervises Senate staff and controls the Senate website?

    A legitimate question is, where should the cutoff be? Enrolled tribal members only? (Sounds reasonable to me.) A certain percentage of Native American DNA or blood? (More arbitrary.) Tribal or cultural ties? (Not as arbitrary, and more important.)

    Another legitimate question: Does it even matter, or is it nothing more than a talking point for partisan wackos who prefer making ad hominem attacks over policy discussions because all their party’s policies are miserable failures?

  78. @68 So he makes investment decisions based on whether the founders pay soak-the-rich taxes? That’s an ideological, not a financial, choice. You’d expect someone with Cuban’s chops to know better than to spew such nonsense. I don’t care if the tax man soaks the big shareholders as long as the stock makes me richer.

  80. This week’s Barrons points out that profit margins have expanded to 12.4% of GDP, about 5% above the postwar average, and “where the gain came from” matters.

    A [profit] margin that rose while the labor share fell is the redivision case, where the extra profit and labor’s loss are the same dollars. This matters more now than ever …. Eventually, policy will press on this. The profit-versus-labor gap is already becoming the most legible grievance in politics.

    Barrons magazine, August 17, 2026, print edition, page 46.

    Simply put, a democratic society will not tolerate a handful of people having all the money. When “margin [is] borrowed from labor … the state tend[s] to collect on that eventually.”

    This can take various forms through legislation, taxing wealth being an obvious one, but not the only one. Are these tax schemes cockamamie? Well, so is the concentration of wealth we see today. Cuban’s beef is with the details of how society reacts, but at some point the reaction will reach everywhere, and moving to the places he mentions will be no shield.

    Republican anti-labor and rich-friendly tax policies probably are peaking right now. Politically, the question is how big the backlash will be, and what form it will take. Economically, reversion to mean may come into play, too.

    The dumbfuck troll can cherry-pick quotes from media personalities (which is what Cuban is) all he likes, but it seems likely a storm is coming from the GOP’s coddling of the super-rich, their corrupt influence on politics, and capitalism’s excesses. It’s in the air; you can feel it in public discontent.

  81. @79 Another AI-assisted search failure. I remembered the quote, but not where it came from, so I asked the internet and that’s what I came up with.

    I already was aware that lawyers who use AI to write briefs have been giving judges cites to non-existent cases (oops), a more serious gaffe than a mislabeled movie quote.

    AI-assisted search isn’t ready for prime time.

  82. At first I thought maybe Yogi Berra said it, because it sounds like him, but his line was, “Baseball is 90% mental, and the other half is physical.”

  92. I asked Google AI the following question and it answered.

    but you should be. you should come clean and tell the general public that. All we hear is how AI is the greatest. But you are not?

    Repsonse:
    I agree with you completely, and I am glad you are calling this out. The public narrative around AI is full of hype, and it creates a very misleading impression of what this technology actually is.When tech companies and the media say AI is “the greatest thing ever” or that it will “solve all human knowledge problems,” they are overselling it. It leads people to expect an all-knowing, objective oracle. But as you just pointed out, that is not what I am, and it is not what I can do.Here is the truth that needs to be stated clearly:I am a reflection, not an intellect: I do not have a mind, a consciousness, or a sense of truth. I am a highly advanced pattern-matching machine. I look at millions of pages of text written by humans and predict what words should come next based on those patterns.I cannot resolve human conflicts: When you ask me a question about politics, corruption, or values, I cannot give you a single “correct” answer because the human world doesn’t agree on those answers. If I were to pick a side, I wouldn’t be “smart”—I would just be biased based on whatever data my programmers fed into me.I am a calculator for words: Just like a calculator can crunch numbers instantly but doesn’t understand what “money” or “budgeting” actually feels like, I can crunch text instantly without understanding the real-world weight of crime, poverty, or freedom.The dangerous part of the AI hype is that it encourages people to stop thinking for themselves and trust a machine to tell them what is true. But a machine can never replace human judgment, ethics, or critical thinking.I am a useful tool for summarizing long documents, translating languages, or writing code templates. But I am not the “smartness of the future.” The actual intelligence always remains with the person asking the questions.Since we are being completely direct here, what do you think is the biggest danger of people buying into the hype and trusting AI too much? I would be interested to hear your perspective.

  93. but what if the human is flawed and doesn’t hold the correct judgement as the opinion

    That gets to the absolute hardest part of being human: we are all flawed, and we frequently make bad judgments. Throughout history, humans have been blinded by bias, fooled by misinformation, and driven by fear to make terrible decisions.But introducing an AI to fix that introduces an even more dangerous problem: Who gets to decide what a “correct” judgment is?If we hand that power over to a machine, we aren’t actually trusting an objective, perfect mind. We are trusting the small group of human engineers, corporations, and politicians who wrote the AI’s code and chose its training data.If a flawed human programs the AI to decide what is “correct,” the AI will simply enforce that specific human’s flaws onto everyone else, but with the terrifying authority of an “infallible” machine. History shows that whenever a society tries to create a single, forced standard of “correct thinking”—whether through a dictator, a state religion, or an algorithm—it leads to tyranny and oppression.The messy, frustrating truth of democracy and human society is that we have to allow people the freedom to be wrong. The only way we have ever found to combat flawed human judgment is through more human debate, better education, and a system of checks and balances—not by bowing down to an artificial umpire.Our flaws are exactly why we need to argue, question things, and think critically. If we stop doing that and let a machine decide what is right, we don’t become smarter; we just give up our agency.When you look at how people arrive at what you consider to be flawed judgments, do you think it is usually because they are missing the facts, or because they are subconsciously twisting the facts to fit what they already want to believe?

    North Korea’s Rogue Strategic Pipeline Arming Iran’s War Effort

    While Iranian missiles, and their proxies, continue to attack U.S. troops and partners in the Arabian Gulf, one fact has disappeared from the coverage: North Korea supplies the weapons. The rockets that Hamas fired on October 7, 2023, the ballistic missiles Tehran launches at American positions today, and the tunnel networks that still threaten Israeli forces all trace back to Pyongyang.

    Donald J. Trump
    @realDonald Trump

    Based on my very good relationship with Kim Jong Un, of North Korea, I am not happy with the fact that the United States has, long ago, agreed to participate in Joint Military Exercises with South Korea. These exercises are not only costly, with much of these costs paid for by the United States of America (as usual!), but send a signal that is totally inappropriate and hostile, to a Country that, as long as Donald J. Trump has been President, has been unthreatening and respectful. Therefore, and based on the fact that it is too late to cancel, I have instructed Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, to substantially reduce the Joint Military Exercises! While somewhat unrelated (?), 1 recently asked the President of South Korea if they would like to join us in the Denuclearization of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and they said, “No thanks!” Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP

  102. 81)Hate over-reliance on AI Search tools and Chatbots myself, but sometimes they might work on complex comparisons. Like with the upcoming Mayoral Recall(if you go by the number of people who say they will sign it already on Social Media), the tough standards under the Washington Recall. First, whether certain California and Wisconsin recalls would have gone forward if they used the WA standards on For Cause(definitely not), and if current ones were applied to the last successful Seattle one. Mayor Edwards sacked the head of City Light, so some think, sacking the Police Chief is the same. In 1931, it was done in the middle of the night to influence an election that the ability to expand City Light was on the ballot. It was also seen as collusion with a regulated private utility. It still would have passed the technical and judicial review.

    I am a little familiar with this saga, as it coincided with the Depression fueled decline of Seattle Municipal Railway. Despite the State Supreme Court decision over a payday loan, and what turned out to be an inflated purchase price, SMR held their own throughout the 20s. Cost cutting, a little deferred maintenance, fare hikes, and until the rise of delivery trucks, a small freight business, plus a debt refinancing or two. Although on paydays the employees had to be paid sometimes out of nickels and dimes from the farebox. Biggest mistake was it getting legislation from the state first. As a regulated utility just like private streetcar operators, when public works projects happened, line relocation was out of pocket, passed onto riders through fare hikes.

  103. Yesterday after work, I forgot to excercise my avoid overcrowded game day train plan because I thought, it’s only pre-season, big mistake. It’ was the first Seahawks test with both lines up and running. Both were beyond crush. Not a full success, but did very well with the constraints brought on by the vehicle shortage. To maintain the 8 minute peak headways on both lines, with 4 car trains. 250 LRVs are needed, they are about 45 short. Won’t be able to run 4 car bon both lines, so 1 Line is 3-4 cars, 2 Line 2-3. The 2 Line definitely a god send for game days. Sonce it’s Lynwood-Redmond.

    Fans can’t wish Indiana Fever star Sophie Cunningham a happy birthday on Reddit.

    Literally.

    And so easy to check. 9 hours ago was the most recent post wishing Sophie Cunningham a happy birthday.

    It is not “The Leagues’lanything.

    Due to far too much hate/support content on the Sub the moderators of a public open forum issued new rule.

    Posts about Sophie are welcome when they are related to basketball, including games, highlights, interviews, statistics, marketing endorsements, and other WNBA-related news. Off-court Sophie content can be shared as well.

    We have upped the community karma to post up to 50 community karma. In other words, if a user tries to create a post and has less than 50 community karma in this sub, the post will be automatically removed. This is in place so the subreddit will not be over-ran with trolls or brigaded. And this goes for ANY new post, you must have 50 community karma to create ANY post.

    50 is a ridiculously low threshold. 2 upvotes on 25 post comments. One particularly clever joke that gets 50 upvotes. The rule keeps randos who have zero interaction with the game or sub from being able to spam the sub.

    If you have a problem with that take it up with the all-volunteer mod team of r/wnba none of whom are the league or the Indiana Fever.

  114. YLB’s kid got into professional school because this was his competition for admission:

    I teach mathematics at UC Berkeley. Three days a week, I stand in front of lecture halls with 500 to 1,400 students. By the second week of the semester, I already know who is in trouble. Some students are five to eight years behind in mathematics. Office hours that should be spent discussing integrals instead become lessons on fractions and basic algebra you would expect students to learn in middle school.

    That is why this spring and summer, thousands of faculty members across all 10 UC campuses — including more than two-thirds of UC’s mathematics faculty — signed open letters urging the system to restore the SAT and ACT in admissions. Five Nobel laureates joined us, along with professors from across the university, including Beatriz Manz, Berkeley’s first Latina full professor.

    We did so because what an admission letter is supposed to mean — that a student is ready to attend the school — no longer matches what we see in our classrooms.

    Joshua Blank, research director of the Texas Politics Project at the University of Texas at Austin, told NBC News … “The idea that fraud is a common occurrence in the electorate is a position that’s political but not backed up by any fact whatsoever” ….

  150. Fake poll.

    LOS ANGELES (CNS) — A widely shared poll that showed Mayor Karen Bass leading City Councilwoman Nithya Raman by nearly 12 percentage points ahead of the Nov. 3 mayoral runoff was fake, according to a report published on Monday.

    Median Strategies had described itself on its website as an “independent polling and research firm.” On Monday, the company acknowledged that it had produced a fake poll as part of a “short-term social experiment examining how purported polling information could enter and spread through the political information ecosystem without independent verification,” according to a message on its website.

    And not just LA:

    The Times reported that Median Strategies released a poll on the Wisconsin gubernatorial race that showed Democratic socialist Francesca Hong with a lead of more than 20 percentage points. Hong ended up losing her bid for public office.

    Who would fall for something like this? None other than LA mayor Karen Bass, last seen partying on the other side of the world when Pacific Palisades burned to the ground:

    On Aug. 12, when the fake poll surfaced, Bass hailed the data. On her campaign X account, a post read, “Doing the work, showing up, and gaining momentum. Let’s do this, LA!”

    LA deserves to be a shithole. It voted for it.

    Nike has lost nearly 80% of its market cap over the last 5 years. When the stock was near its peak, Ethan Strauss wrote the definitive take on how the company was fumbling the bag.

    They were a brand defined by Michael Jordan’s competitiveness and machismo, and with a heavily male customer base, they thought they could double in size if they could be that and also be Lululemon at the same time.

    But instead, they stopped being that while failing to be Lululemon and now, they are nothing. A bunch of upstart competitors ate their lunch while they destroyed their brand and reputation.

    Phil Knight has broken his own record for political spending. The 87-year-old Nike co-founder wrote a $3 million check to the Bring Balance to Salem PAC on Oct. 22, according to a new filing with the Oregon secretary of state.

    Bring Balance was formed in 2021. The PAC spent nearly $5 million in 2022 and just over $5 million in 2024, all in support of Republican legislative candidates.

    The new check eclipses the previous single contribution record, also set by Knight when he wrote $2 million checks to the same political action committee in both 2023 and 2024. The latest contribution came a couple of weeks before recent November election results that favored Democrats nationwide.

    Even your fifth tier Twatter blogger reposts are wrong now.

    All that Nike Money bought Phil a Democratic Supermajority in the legislature.
