Alligator
For the love of god Alligator
(for those not in the know, Alligator is a fairly commonly used safe word)
(for those REALLY not in the know, a safe word is a prearranged phrase used in BDSM play that the sub can use to put an immediate stop on everything because they find the current situation more than than can handle either physically or emotionally. It may just lead to a short break or it may end the scene entirely it just depends on why they are safe wording. The key to a good safe word is it must be memorable, noticeable, and not anything you would ever conceivably say in the context of the scene)
blueberry pancakes is my safe word. It’s a good one, because it’s recognizable and can’t be taken in the wrong context.

“Trump-hater gives reality check to Never-Trumpers”
I never understood this line of thinking. How would Pence be worse than Trump? If anything, he wouldn’t be as boorish. I would have thought he’d have a more agressive foreign policy, but Trump is backtracking on most of his foreign policy restraint talk
They view Pence as evil but competent. They view Trump as a dangerously crazy incompetent.
“Trump is backtracking on most of his foreign policy restraint talk”
That’s where he’s losing me. I thought if he could do good on taxes and regulation and back off our military adventurism, then I would be good with him. He’s not doing the military part. He’s just continuing Bush’s 5th term as far as i can tell.
I’m double plus unhappy with the budget as well.
The budget is shit, but I expected that from Trump. I’m pissed at the Rs in Congress about that. They can all go fuck themselves for having the gall to act like fiscal conservatives under obama and sell out the first chance they get under trump. Fucking spineless parasites. I hope they all lose their elections.
He’s continuing Obama’s ninth year in office. Just like Obama was completing Bush’s fifth year in office when he started. They’re all pushing the same god damn madness

Scott Horton has been reduced to try to communicate to Trump using his language
That’s glorious and peaceful trolling.
I had the pleasure of attending one of Horton’s webinars at Thad Russell’s new online school. Solid, the man knows his shit.
I’ve been paying attention to some of Russells stuff lately. I would like to do the scott horton we binary when I can find time. I listened to his interview with russell. It was good.
I’m half way through Fools Errand right now. Libertarian must read.
That’s something else I need to do. I have heard nothing but good stuff about that book.
Yeah, I’ve heard a number of interviews with Horton, particularly on Tom Woods’ show.
I general, I agree with Horton. There’s just something about him that bugs me. maybe it’s the constant refrain of “Israel make the US do its bidding,” or the idea that anything bad in the world is bound to have been caused by US foreign policy.
I just don’t see the criticism to be even-handed. Maybe I’m not being fair, as Horton’s not as bad as Lew Rockwell in this department.
I’ve heard a number of interviews with Horton, particularly on Tom Woods’ show. In general, I agree with his foreign policy views.
There’s just something that bugs me about him. Perhaps it’s the constant refrain of “US foreign policy is largely driven by Israeli interests.” Or the idea that most of the bad situations in the world’s hot spots can be laid at the US government’s feet.
No doubt DC has a lot to answer for. There doesn’t seem to be an even handedness when discussing the foreign policy of other countries, such as France in Syria.
Maybe I’m not being fair. He’s not as bad as Lew Rockwell.
Doh! Not sure why this got double posted.
Because their jobs literally depend on it, I’d bet at any given time the LE/IC apparatus (via the NSC) has a ream of “intelligence” hand-picked to persuade whoever sees it that they need more funding, more power, more war. “Look, Mr. President, if you don’t do X then the Y will do Z and people will die.” Who can say no to that? When Congress gets uppity, they give the same treatment to the House/Senate intelligence committees. Maybe they do have a blackmail file too, but honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if they didn’t. Sometimes it’s real threats with actionable intelligence, sometimes it’s flights of fancy loosely tied together with wishful thinking (see: Iraq War 2). The goal is to keep policymakers permanently afraid that if they cut funding or rescind authorization or enforce Constitutional limits then catastrophe is imminent. And, of course, it’s all classified so the public doesn’t ever get to judge it (not that the media would have a clue what to do with it, anyway). They tipped their hand a little too much lately, but the media has been dutifully running interference, and they’ve probably shifted the focus behind the scenes onto things more likely to sway Trump. It’s all rather disturbing if you think about it. It doesn’t matter who you elect, they’re still human and they can still be manipulated.
Above comment was not meant to absolve Trump of responsibility in any way. I made a similar observation under Obama.
“I didn’t get a Harrumph! out of You!”
/Hedley Lamar
You’re probably right, but they shouldn’t be able to blackmail trump. He’s immune to it. Every bit of dirt on the guy has already been outed.
Indeed, which is why I don’t think it’s blackmail. I don’t think blackmail would’ve been very effective on Obama, either. For all his faults, I don’t think Obama wanted to be the guy sitting in the Oval Office when a major terrorist attack happened. Nor does Trump. 9/11 and the spate of terrorist attacks around the globe since then set the frame of mind, all it takes is a little nudging with the right presentation.
You’re probably right again, and that sucks. It’s almost like we could elect Ghandi president and he wouldn’t be able to get us out of the ME. Sucks. There are no American politicians who are principled.
You know, that line of reasoning kind of point towards us staying in the ME until Islamic terrorism is ended. That’s…a real fuckin’ downer.
No kidding. Islamic terrorism isn’t going to stop. Aside from giving the ME the Carthage treatment, it’s here to stay.
I never understood this line of thinking.
That’s because it doesn’t really involve “thinking”.
I grew up in the area. Once you get a handle on work and are looking for local non shitty attractions, let me know and I can give you some great spots to explore.

My noon article was probably the lowest effort to comments ratio I’ve ever done. Y’all are easy to please!
You threw a disgraced general to a pit of half-starved dogs, of course the activity went up.
Observations of a weightlifting newb – do not fret overmuch if you do not display the range of motion an exercise demands at start. I’m still unsure of the appropriate depth for a squat, having hard multiple contradictory assertions. But when I started out, I was of the opinion I’d never have calf to thigh contact without falling over. So I ignored that and just went with how far I could manage. Yesterday I found that, at the depth of the motion, I was practically sitting on my heels. The improved range of motion was something developed through practice and repitition, even without conscious effort. So, do what you can and work your way towards the objective.
so you sit all the way down when you squat? or do you lift your heals up and squat on the balls of your feet? b/c i think when you squat on the balls of your feet instead of pushing through your heals, your knees track over your toes and that’s bad for your meniscus. i have no source for this.. unless fevered dream is a source.
I don’t think I can keep my feet flat.
If someone does have a source for that, I would appreciate the data.
Rippetoe talks about avoiding heavily-cushioned footware, and ideally, old-school basketball-type ‘flat’ soles.
I’m not wearing shoes when I work out. Just socks.
It’s too hard to launder shoes?
Laziness, really. I change into shorts and a t-shirt to exercise for range of motion (doesn’t get in the way). I don’t bother to put my shoes back on after changing into them.

Forward translation of the knees has been implicated
in increased patellofemoral and tibiofemoral shear forces
because the tibia slides anteriorly on the femur during
flexion
i think that means don’t go onto the balls of your feet when you squat.
How do you avoid it? The motion itself makes my heels want to leave the floor.
Practicing stretching, and not dialing it up to 11 until you’re ready.
Practicing stretching, and not dialing it up to 11 until you’re ready.
It’s so important that WordPress’ dupe-detector agrees with me.
I don’t think I’ve even gotten to 8 yet.
This. Work on unweighted squats, focusing on hip and ankle mobility.
Also, a board under your heel can help until you get super limber.
That sounds… backwards.
A torn Achilles’ tendon is for life. It’s not worth risking it for a few weeks’ delay in implementing your plans for Squat Supremacy.
Sort of. It’s really more about getting your angles right. Most lifting shoes have a 1/2″ to 3/4″ heel.
Make sure your knees are pushing out and don’t go too far over your feet. Practice a lot. I stretch every day and it makes a huge difference.
Some more to read.
So how does that hip discussion translate to the ankle question?
It doesn’t. It’s all part of the process of squatting. The point of the article is that it’s not just about stretching muscles, but recognizing that anatomy plays a part, too.
It’s hard to develop good form on your own. The Starting Strength site has a ton of resources, including people who can help you with form.
Did you pick up Starting Strength yet?
I have it, but the layout of the information seems to be set up to make me not find anything I’m actually trying to learn and trips over debates over things not addressed. It does not strike me as having been written for someone who knows absolutely nothing.
Yeah, that’s true.
Try this to start with.
I actually like how she lays it all out, particularly problem areas.
Thank you.
I kept asking myself “how the hell do they keep their heels on the floor?”
Then I went back to my same advice I started this thread with – range of motion is an incremental process.
I’ve used an “slant board” (this one, in fact) in the past to get more flexible in the calf muscles. Works well. Haven’t actually needed it for several years now — I also do calf raises on the edge of a stair, and allow the calf muscles to slowly stretch all the way down after each push up.
$90? With that construction, I can rig one up for next to nothing – or even just use the door to my basement.
To be fair, it was more like $24.95 when I bought it. And yes, they’re pretty easy to make (everything’s easy to make when you’ve got the right tools…).
I highly recommend Alan Thrall’s videos on this, especially the more recent ones.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmNPOjaGrVE
You’re using muscles in ways they’re not used to being used so they have to adjust to the motion. Stretching also helps, especially hip flexors and hamstrings. Also, don’t force it; you want fatigue and soreness in muscles, not pain, especially in joints.
I thought that was what I’d said.
Admittedly, I was rambling and roundabout.
Good weightlifting shoes help. They’re a tad pricey. But, they’ll last a LONG time. Made a big difference in my lifting.
Also, I really recommend a good belt. This company makes great custom ones:

I performed a high-speed squat on one leg last week. It felt like someone hit me with a hammer just above the knee. MRI is next week.
Sorry to hear that. I’ve not been doing anything that counts as “high speed” for exercise, mostly paranoia regarding potential injuries like that.
It wasn’t exactly exercise. Slipped on the stairs.
were you doing “pistols”?

Listening to NPR right now and these assholes are talking extensively about the 20 trillion dollar u.s. debt. Ridiculous, 8 years of Obama Nary a word about the massive federal debt and now, they’re so concerned about it. Fuck these assholes
I thought debt and deficits didn’t matter with the left.
The sniveling turd ” business economist” commentator that was talking with the radio host claims that a national debt of around a half the GDP is some kind of magical number. what a bunch of crap the right number is…….ZERO debt. Cunts.
You earn 50k a year?
/licks thumb and sticks out in the wind.
25k of debt sounds about the right amount your can handle!
Sounds legit to me.
It is the right amount if you never plan on paying it back, because you’re probably reaching the point where creditors are figuring that out.
/Think like a government, because FYTW.
A further concern of hers is that this may be some kind of a tactic that small gummint types would like to use in order to reduce the scope of government programs.
Oh noooooooes
Pleaze don’t trow me in no briah patch, Bre’r Fox!
I think we should repudiate the national dept and get it over it. The whole thing is gonna crash eventually and I would be giddy if the fedgov had a 0 credit score.
What we need is a trillion-dollar coin.
No. I want the fedgov to default. Good. Noone will ever loan them money again. No more deficits because they cant.
King Zero spent that money on benevolent things like rainbows and happiness and sunflowers and unicorns. Trump is spending money to construct concentration camps for minorities and breeding farms for women.
Now this sounds like a newsletter that is worth a read!
Psh. Like we need to breed more women.
Yeah but NPR is an important centrist voice. I recall TOS told me so…..Froot Sushi article I believe.
I was participating in a lot of Nielsen ratings studies for a while. For 10 bucks, they had me record what radio stations I listened to and when for a month. I would always listen to NPR on my way to work because the hatred would snap me awake and get me ready for whatever complicated BS I had to deal with.
I mentioned something to that effect in the comments section they provide.
I never got my 10 bucks
Hey, Obama HAD to spend that money to pull us out of the recession that was caused by BUSH! And that recession was so bad, took NINE YEARS for it to work!
Wait, why didn’t the DoT TIGER Obama stimulus program fix all the roadz and bridges? Because they didn’t spend hard enough of course.

When I would get home from work my dog would dance around on the deck waiting for me to let him in the house. During a contentious period of marital relations my wife accused me of loving the dog more than her. I replied that if she would shake her ass and shove her face in my crotch every time I came home, I’d probably love her almost as much as the mutt.
Marital relations did not improve much for a week after that. Didn’t help that I thought it was super funny and called friends to tell them about my bon mot.

Back in the middle of last year I told yall about a domestic abuse situation I almost got dragged into. My wife allowed a woman to let a co worker stay at our house who was fleeing and abusive boyfriend. It ended up bowing up into a situation where the abuser threatened to come to my house and commit violence toward my family. For the only time in my life, I called the cops. I also sent my family away and sat in my living room armed until the abuser was reported arrested. I struggled about what to do afterward. I’m all for helping someone in need, but I don’t want that shit at my house. Anyway, the abused woman ended up staying away from the guy for a while but eventually went back to him.

Here is what happened yesterday. That’s the asshole who threatened me and family for giving his woman a place to stay. I think I made the right decision to no longer involve myself in their problems.
That’s crazy. That guy is garbage
It’s the ex going back to that type of guy that never fails to amaze me.
The magic of patriarchy.
That’s a huge reason why I wanted to not involve myself in this woman’s problems at all. She already had a history of leaving and them getting back with him. To quote GayJay, “domestic violence is a black hole”
Human frailty is a bizarre world where logic and reason seemingly have no place at the table.

Yeah, did “attempted murder” go out of style?
If the guy didn’t actually show up to the house and try to kill them, he doesn’t reach the threshold of “Attempted Murder”. Basically, Attempted Murder is “Actually tried, but the victim lived”
Yeah, i would put shooting at someone in the attempted murder category. Since there were multiple people around, I would make it multiple counts.

You made two good decisions, sir.
First one to send everyone away, and stay home armed and ready to defend your castle.
Second, to not get tangled up in the crazy again. You have done your duty.

Thanks GordI. Anyone with any sense should do the same thing.
Wife and I just watched a crime show the other night. Young girl let her battered friend stay with her. Ends up dead in her bedroom stabbed dozens of times. Yeah, if you want to help, buy her a bus ticket across country and tell her good luck. Not worth putting your family in danger.
That what my thought was when making a decision to get involved or not. Do I really want harm visited on me or my family over someone else’s bad decisions.
Hell no.
Absolutely made the right decisions in handling that. I’m glad it ended okay for you and your family, and this asshole will be removed from society for some time.
Also, good that you live in an area where you can defend yourself and property. Ayoob talked about a case he was involved in where the victim was actually arrested and charged with murder (NY or Chicago) because he knew someone was going to break in and chose to wait armed for them on his own property. Someone had kept breaking into his store overnight so the owner had decided to stay one night hidden with a shotgun. Of course, it probably didn’t help that he called 911 after the shoot exclaiming “I got him! I got him! I finally got that motherfucker!”.
When I talked to the cops that evening, I told them exactly what I was going to do. I told the cops that I am in my house and armed. If he enters, I’m gonna kill him. That may not have been the wisest thing to tell the cops, but I would have been well within the law to do that. I also think it may have motivated the cops to intercept him on his way to my place. Legally speaking, if it had gone down that way, I think I would have been alright. That’s still not something I wanted to have to do though. I’m glad I didn’t have to.
You did right. It was really just an anecdote about how messed up other places can be in preventing your natural right to defend yourself and your property. You wouldn’t have to deal with that in a rural southern state.
Ayoob talked about a case he was involved in where the victim was actually arrested and charged with murder (NY or Chicago) because he knew someone was going to break in and chose to wait armed for them on his own property.
Very common for Canadians trying to defend their lives or property with a weapon (any weapon, not just a firearm) to be charged by the cops and for the Crown Prosecutor to indict. The “right of self-defense,” something that was taken for granted during almost 750 years of common law, has been all but extinguished in Canada.
I’ve come to realize that, if I ever have to defend myself or my spouse, I’ll be going to a Federal penitentiary for the remainder of my natural life. Nothing much I can do about it either — my lawyer’s only job at that point will be to try to get my sentence length reduced somehow.

President Obama created the program under executive order (with dubious authority as the DAPA program has already been ruled as violating the separation of powers), but now the program cannot be rescinded under executive authority?
The fact that much of judiciary has shown the #Resistance is the most disturbing development in this country
Higher courts should remove lower court judges for dipshittery of this nature.
Yup, all they have to do is wait him out, and the first year is already over. There’s no consequence for obvious malfeasance so why not do it?
Under what basis of law?
FYTW?
If congress wasn’t as useless as a third nipple they’d impeach judges like this.
The comments are carcinogenic.
It’s unclear to me how any Fed judge can issue injunctions against executive orders from the president. Doesn’t that give disproportionate power to any judge with a grudge or partisan impulses? Should be restricted to the Supreme Court only. Sure the Supreme Court is still as partisan as it gets, but at least that gives some nod towards the balance of power between the branches.
There has been a lot of talk about norms being violated since Trump’s election. Some of it warranted- others just beyond stupid.
The open politicization of lower courts (this is a full blown politicized ruling with no basis for the injunction) will have the most lasting damage in this country. All because rich whites couldn’t accept that they lost an election
Doesn’t that give disproportionate power to any judge with a grudge or partisan impulses?
Well covered in the FYTW addendum of the Commerce clause. There is no such thing as disproportionate.
John Marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it.
That Andrew Jackson quote needs to be updated to the Trump era

A mention in the links and an away draw with Juventus? This is a decent day.
Still waiting an a top ten hit/view/click count for the topical articles.
I’m really interested to see how much reach we have beyond the daily links circle jerks. I mean, it’s good to know how well we all mesh, but I’m wondering how far out into normie land we have made it, and I would think that the view/hit counts on topical articles would be a good measure of that.
Trashie’s articles on Crypto and Swiss’s Musings on foreign intervention come to mind. Solid work that would read well out there in the non-Glib universe.
SP has one, but me and Sug fucked it up. I’ll see if she can help.
HEY! I didn’t fuck up nothing. There just wasn’t a way to filter out the Daily Links without SP spending way too much of her graciously donated time to do it.
Thanks!
Your Trucking article was an Eye opener Gordi, I think of it often when i’m on the Road
There over 3 million people with CDLs in America, which is to say there are now over 3 million people considered to be, at best, 4th class citizens if they get behind the wheel.
Yeah, I hope some people took what I had to say to Heart.
I was invited on another podcast a couple of weeks ago to speak about the whole ELD issue. They haven’t released it or gotten back to me yet. I think I got too ‘Fuck Off, Slaver’ for their audience and it’s never going to see the light of day.

It’s not racist if it’s against whitey!
I am just glad I can finally publicly admit that I am privileged. Through nothing more than accident of birth I was born smarter than the morons who run this school. Had I been less lucky I would know and understand the pain of living as a moron in a world which historically been lethal to their kind. While things have gotten better and today morons are often allowed to live full lives and even have children much needs to be done from those who like me are privileged enough to not be morons and make the world even more fair for them.
The accident of birth. Hmmmm
I’m going to start using that when I refer to my youngest son.
Maybe the writer got hit by a bus.
Can I just acknowledge my superiority over him?

“The Future of Science Is Black
I did not struggle through the academy as a Black girl from a marginalized socio-economic background just to teach white people that Black peoples are human. I did it because I am passionate about monkeys and apes and the science of understanding their worlds, despite whatever myths racist natural historians perpetuate about our relationship to them.
Black scientists invested in doing science differently must build community with Black activists, who have honed the art of organized disruption, unapologetically declaring that “Black Lives Matter” as we reclaim our rightful place in scientific history. Together, we can explore questions critical to a radical scientific practice: What would science look like if everyone learned about the history and current manifestations of scientific racism and the illegitimacy of its theories? What would science look like if Black peoples’ worldviews were genuinely, consistently valued in knowledge production processes that generate theories and frameworks for inquiry? What would science look like with significant financial backing to address racist inequalities in education, health, and exposure to climate change impacts? What would science look like if our attention to debunking modern strands of eugenics intersected with debunking white, heteronormative, and cis-privileged notions of gender binaries and constructs?”
https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/59k33k/the-future-of-science-is-black
“debunking white, heteronormative, and cis-privileged notions of gender binaries and constructs”
For a “scientist” you’re pretty dumb.
Genuine Prog Tard Gibberish, I actually read it all, hoping there was something, anything that would make sense but, no…..
Thank you for doing the work that cis-gendered white guys just won’t do.
If you had to “struggle” for an anthropology degree, you shouldn’t be trying to teach anyone. I’m surprised she’s able to feed herself.
I also now hate myself for clicking the article to see what her field was. I already knew without checking that she’s as much a scientist as my retarded hound rescue.
It’s an ‘-ology’. Of course it’s a science!
In that case, I’m a tautologist, who specializes in redundancies.
Department of Redundancy Dept. ?
The Redundant Department of Redundancy Departments.
Wait, so they’re segregating science now? Thank God MLK didn’t live to see this shit.

WaPo acquires a libertarian(ish) journalist.
Hopefully McArdle won’t go full Balko. And, more importantly, hopefully her comment section regulars follow her – they held firm through Atlantic, Daily Beast and Bloomberg years…
Did we ever know that Balko is actually libertarian though? I know he worked for Cato and Reason, but he worked the cop/nutpunch beat at both places, and really didn’t handle anything else.
I’m getting the impression that Balko was an “issue libertarian”, and a very specific issue at that. Witness his treatment of the FBI in the context of the Trump stuff versus his treatment of state and local police misconduct.
He can’t be the only “issue libertarian” that Reason has/had. Dalmia is all about immigration, Bailey about robots, there was the food guy and the home-range children woman for example.
Excellent point. Balko’s cop stuff is great, and I use it often when arguing/discussing with friends and family why police, particularly in urban areas, have gotten so much worse the past several decades.
Maybe I’m missing it. But, Balko’s been pretty quiet on the FBI front, and seems to suffer from a bad case of TDS.

Discounting Lefty “journalists” who *is* falling for it?
That it had to be said is telling, troubling and hilarious.

And Obama picked him. The guy who listened to Rev. Wright for 20 years and heard noting and was pals with Bill Ayers.
Obama is exactly what we thought he was.

i have seen a number of comments replying to this saying, “Ugh, omg he like painted ONE painting of beheading a white person, and only made that comment ONCE”
which i thought was cute. Wouldn’t it work so well if someone was like, “Dude, i’m not racist; i literally only lynched like *one* black person”?
In my defense, I was in college and still experimenting.
White privilege means living with social mores that encourage your denigration in popular culture in exchange for having all of the power. But apparently not the power to enjoy the same courtesy and respect you’re expected to give to people of other demographics regardless of their individual behavior.
i follow Cato’s twitter account, and i cant help but feel like every other thing they tweet is irritating and wrong, or besides the point.
and i’m a #)*($@% libertarian.
Meanwhile, @ Reason… Nancy Maclean is like, “you’re all retarded autistic motherfuckers”. And half the people on twitter are like, “damn, she’s right”
But we *are* all retarded autistic motherfuckers, aren’t we?

Aw, man…this pet dander…
I see these stories every so often, and good for dude for doing what he needed to, but I can’t help thinking get a bike man, or can’t you find a job closer to home? What’s a good walking pace 20/mins a mile? He’s wasting 5.5 hrs a day even if a closer job paid less he could pick up a part time job, and if the job paid so well the walk was worth it then he must have a budgeting problem if he can’t save up for a moped or something.

Hyperion said this in the morning links:
And yet this argument has been winning for the past 100 years or so.
Yeah, that shit drives me crazy. It’s so obviously BS, especially considering the massive increase in the standard of living for poor people. That the huge reduction in the number of the world’s poor the past 25 years isn’t front page news, or studied, is a fucking crime.
Problem is you are bringing up something very abstract: that poor people today are better off than poor people 100 years ago. How does that deal with poverty today? And then they will ask “If we are so rich then why are there still poor people?”
Heck, even better off than 10 or 20 years ago. One of the biggest reductions has happened since the late 1990s, and almost no one knows.
But, you’re right. As long as they’re some income disparity, which will always exist, they’ll fall back on that BS. For crying out loud, poor people in the US have an obesity problem.

The plans to cut the budget of NPR and PBS exposes a serious problem that fiscal conservatives have been facing for decades. On one hand it won’t really affect the deficit or Big Government but on the other if you can’t cut even useless stuff how can you cut bigger stuff?
The cuts are a little close to the bone for me, because I work at one of the regional water quality programs that are being proposed to be cut from the EPA budget. Not cut entirely, I think it’s a 90% cut. On the one hand, there’s more than a little fat to be trimmed where I work and it really ought to be funded entirely by the states in the watershed. On the other hand, the EPA was founded specifically to deal with water quality, and this is water quality. They can’t cut the diversity shit? And besides, I wouldn’t mind so much being out of a job, but being out of a job AND watching the federal budget expand? That’s like insult to injury right there.
Something something statues of Benedict Arnold.
Yeah, that’s it exactly. All the big watersheds are getting cut, apparently: Chesapeake Bay, Great Lakes, the Gulf, Puget Sound. The argument is that the funding should be done by the states, but the reason they go to the Feds for a lot of this stuff in the first place is because the states doing the pollution aren’t necessarily the states suffering the damage. And, really, it’s that the polluters are affecting people in other states, and not only is it difficult to impossible to assign specific blame, there are legal issues with suing across state lines.
Of course, none of this is the problem or responsibility of anyone outside of the area, so it’s not fair for people from Nebraska to have tax money spent on it, but, then again, corn subsidies.
You Know Who Else defends something Nixon did?
Hey, our thing was set up by Reagan!
Insert Washington Monument Syndrome spiel here.
Also the fact that these cuts will cost people their jobs, something the MSM will relish, doesn’t help either.
Has CNN, NYT or WaPo interviewed you yet?
Shit no, I’m a web developer, and I work for the University of Maryland besides. The program is ultimately run by EPA folks (shocker how that happens), and they’ve already said plenty to the national media.
Besides, interviewing me would be a tragic mistake: “Well hell, we have a team of contractors who fuck our web hosting up on a weekly basis. We should fire them and just stick all the sites on hosted, dedicated servers on MediaTemple or DreamHost or something.”
I’m guessing the audiences for both PBS and NPR are among the wealthiest people in the country. They can pony up. Like the Kochs already do.
As Bill Gates said on The Simpsons, “I didn’t get rich by writing a lot of cheques”.
I subscribe to KUSC Classical Radio, 5$ a month, so it’s not just rich people, and like 70% of operations are from people like me. It would certainly stay on air with out NPR funding
I didn’t say current donors – I said audience. That was the point. There are a bunch of Michael Moores out there not writing checks to Public Broadcasting. That’s why 70% of your local station’s funding is from working stiffs.
Other than YT or my Collection, I listen to it exclusively on radio,PC and Tablet, so figured it was worth 5$ a month, I can afford that. I think they get plenty of cash from my ilk.
KUSC.org
Great classical station.
I get a lot of pleasure thinking about my uber-lefty colleagues in the social media department having to come up with Tweets that are on-policy with the Trump administration.

One of the non-profits I’ve been involved with for many, many years is Kiva.org. I finally got around to setting up a dedicated GlibSP account and created a Glibertarians.com team.

I like that I can fund my glib account by gift cards sent from my other account.
If you are so inclined, please join team glib when you next make a loan on Kiva.
Sweet, I’ve done a couple loans on Kiva. I’ll join up.
What’s the issue with repos if the borrowers default? ::cracks knuckles::
Asking for a friend.
I have made just under 100 loans over a decade and had exactly two defaults, and those were only partial defaults. I’m pretty happy with that.
Love that I can just keep re-loaning the same money over and over.
Fun fact: the mutual friend who introduced me to Kiva is the one who encouraged me to hook up with OMWC. He was right about both being awesome. 😉
Kiva looks really cool. I kept waiting for “Get money with this 1 weird trick!”
Please create a dedicated post for this so those of us more forgetful autistics using their phones will see it later. I’m interested, but I need to learn more.
