Kash Patel and the farmer in the dell

 Now perverts can join the FBI.  Well some perverts anyway.  FBI Director Kash Patel explains before the Senate Judiciary Committee why bestiality is no longer a disqualifier from being hired there.  BTW old theory about how Sasquatch started.


Does the FBI have a zoo?

My white privilege

 Basically just writing checks to pay off bills.  Saving very little if any money.  No big raises at work.  No discounts on pipe tobacco.  Bodega down the block overcharges my items as I place them on the counter.  Still have to cut my grass.  Where is my mansion? 


I am privileged though to pay the Yonkers Property Tax.  Second installment today.

As a feminist cause the optics are so bad on this

 Never a real news junkie myself but kept seeing the name Lindsay Clancy on my phone the last few weeks.  Saw that hundreds of women were dressed in pink outside the courtroom supporting her.  Hmmm some kind of true crime story so finally clicked on one of the links.  At first I thought here was a woman who probably shot her husband in self-defense or killed a rapist.  Turned out to be something entirely different as we all know.  Now it's theoretically possible that she was technically insane in the strict legal definition of the word although I don't personally lean in that direction myself so I appreciate the different POVs but are we sure we want to make this pretty bizarre and tragic case into the latest cause of feminism and women's rights?  Then there is the doxxing of the lone holdout juror a black man in his 30s.  NBC Boston doing the major doxxing here which from what I'm hearing might be illegal and a crime in itself but I'm no Dershowitz.


Didn't know Oprah had a podcast but why not everyone else does.  Held some kind of town hall special on the whole thing.  She really does have guru cultlike powers as the room jam-packed with young women all zombie-like nodded in agreement with every pro-Lindsay Clancy utterance onstage.  All except for one young woman who basically said what I hear from the average person these days that Clancy should have been held legally responsible for her actions.  It's not that people don't have differences of opinion they do but the absolutely monolithic wall of viewpoint at the Oprah town hall was downright weird imo.


Thought I'd do another post on this as people still rapping about it.

Let me pull it out of my ass

 What Trump may as well say about those 5K dividend checks promised to Americans if Repubs win the midterms.


Why not send the checks out now?  Rhetorical because we don't have the money just sayin'.

I liked Google better without all the AI Overviews

 WHO put AI in charge of the information superhighway anyway?  Practically every topic I google these days the AI completely takes over the information.  It has the last word on everything even though it is sometimes wrong or inaccurate.  NYC Council under Mamdani passed some bill protecting schoolkids from AI.  Trump says the potential dangers of AI are overblown.  I think Trump is overblown.


Weird scientific state we're living in.  Let's put humans back in charge of the search for truth.

If this is a cross-section of society God help us

 The Lindsay Clancy jurors.  The Gals don't like contrarianism.


My impression.  A strong and dominant group of woke women who wanted to acquit from the get-go.  The ones you saw sitting around on nice patio furniture giving an interview.  Let's do brunch and talk about it.  There was one anonymous woman juror who gave an audio interview and said from the beginning she thought Clancy was probably guilty and might still feel that way.  No doubt intimidated by the group vibe.  Now on to the main bone of contention the lone male holdout whom they're publicly attacking and who prefers to remain anonymous.  Wasn't going along with the not guilty by reason of insanity consensus forming and is now being pilloried.  The arrogant one who wouldn't listen, the phone scroller who couldn't get past the fact that Lindsay Clancy viciously murdered her own children as one female juror put it.  Yeah what's wrong with the guy?  Another male juror went along with the women in the end but tried to be semi-reasonable in an interview but he too had issues with the lone holdout.  


I too had reasonable doubt.  I have a reasonable doubt that Lindsay Clancy is innocent by reason of insanityJudicial conundrum

Bribing the American voter

 Sort of a crime.  Trump has promised 5K dividend checks to Americans if they vote Republican during the midterms.  Also gas prices will come down and the Iran War will end immediately thereafter.


That farting sound you hear is Trump talking out of his ass again.
