The trans movement is monstrous. Its adherents/supporters are evil. Without exception. THE AZTECS DID NOT STOOP TO THIS. Mutilation of children should carry the death penalty. The Nuremberg Laws apply.
Levine “was very concerned that having ages (mainly for surgery) will affect access to healthcare for trans youth … and she and the Biden administration worried that having ages in the document will make matters worse.”
So they removed the age limits! For these procedures, among others: removal of both ovaries; double mastectomy; turning a girl’s clitoris into a micro-penis; surgically removing a boy’s penis; surgical and chemical castration of boys; and permanent removal of the capacity for orgasm for both boys and girls. I repeat: permanent removal of the capacity for orgasm for both boys and girls.

@ Possum:
Without being boring and posting the images I just did another test.
“please generate an image of a skunk with red fur” and he is cute.
Then asked AI this. “Please modify the image to blue fur” totally different skunk, different posture, different background.
Now, what I would like as a bare metal programmer is to see what was passed to the AI image generation engine that produced the first image of a skunk with red fur and change that to blue. Leaving ALL other parameters the same.
Ain’t possible….
Why use a skunk as a test subject? People here will psych analyze me and do a deep and meaningful report into my childhood, my up bringing, my education and all my ex wives.
Actual reality is when doing a test then you pick a baseline to work from and expand on that. Do not introduce any other variables.
Skunk is the the initial test keyword. That should remain a constant in this experiment.

And why this AI thing is dangerous and should only be used by really highly educated and not drunk grown ups then a simple request like this.

How much other of my shit has gone missing? This month alone I have ” misplaced ” a peach and two onions.
To be fair I may have eaten the peach and the onions…
@ Possum:
Now in the real world the fact that a cat would steal a peach, or even be interested in a peach or any other type of fruit is not happening.
But, let your imagination run free. In an alternate world controlled by artificial intelligence anything is possible.
Lucy caught the culprit on camera. Proof cats like peaches. ( yes I will stop soon, but another example of AI distorting reality. I am more and more believing that AI generated images should have a watermark saying they are artificially generated. )

@ Possum:
As a cat expert and not an AI expert I can tell that image is fake.
The fake cat’s pupils are constricted. A cat’s pupils are not designed to react to light intensity they are controlled by the cat.
If a cat is doing sneaky shit, or is about to pounce their pupils dilate. Irrespective of the lighting conditions.
That cat is not in the process of a felonious attempt to steal a peach.
@ Possum:
Just a random video illustrating that the size of a cat’s pupils is a giveaway to their intentions.
Size of pupils has sod all to do with light intensity.

Cabbage for single people.
When I used to go to the store I bought cabbages that were small enough to fit in my little slow cooker. Peel or the outer leaves and cut out the conical shaped inner stalky thing. Then put it in slow cooker, insert butter and salt and pepper into the hole where the stalk was and pour chicken broth around it. Then slow cook it for hours.
Now if I order a cabbage I don’t know the size, and cutting it up involves sharp knives. So to be safe I do something different now.
I buy the bags of pre shredded coleslaw mix. More expensive per pound than buying a cabbage but safer.

Amazing video. Falcon Heavy simultaneous side booster landings
https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1849243365533171741
@ eaglesoars:
Yep the three bangs.
Aircraft usually only make a double bang, one from the nose and one from the wings.
Falcon boosters do not have noses or wings….
@ lobo91:
Interesting video. Kept the snark at a tolerable level, too.
@ Possum:
I am a child of the early 1960’s and I knows sonic booms.
At a reasonable altitude at an airshow the planes make two bangs.
When they fly lower you only hear one bang. That is because the first bang is so loud you cannot hear fuck all for the next ten minutes.
But why a triple?
I may ask Grok but it will probably tell me it is because of swuirrels…
huh
rumors are starting to float around the net that kamala was an attendee of lots of private p diddy parties
lets see if this becomes a thing
@ Possum:
Grok says one bang from the arse of the rocket where the engines are. I agree.
Another bang is from the steering grid fins, I agree.
But where we disagree is Grok says the third bang is from the deployed legs. NOPE! The legs pop out when the booster has been slowed down below supersonic speed, just before landing.
Do not trust AI, it replies like it knows everything but actually it makes shit up.

Something quite odd. I’m reading a biography of Pamela Harriman. She was Clinton’s ambassador to France when she died and a LOT more than that during her life. I thought I’d look for some interviews, found a few and started watching.
I swore I’d heard that voice/accent before. She was British but her accent was a bit different and I couldn’t place where I’d heard it. Then it hit me – Jackie Kennedy??!!
Pulled up one of her interviews and the accent is identical. The only thing I can think of is the schools. Both privately educated.
Very odd.
It’s done. Now the real rehab begins.
When I cooked my knee in July I started rehabbing my beloved, old, original Nordictrack. All bolts out, all wood refinished, everything cleaned and lubed. And the computer works perfectly.
Did a mile today. That effing thing is diabolical. My young knee specialist had to look up the kinesiology of it to approve use. My older PT guy said OK straight away. All is almost right again. But, haven’t hit a golf ball since july.

Monday we start again, well I do the cats don’t need to lose weight.
A month ago I was down to a consistent 198-199 now I am a cuddly 205-206.
I still was recording what I ate and drank on a daily basis but stopped logging the daily totals on the other sheet.
Started to eat what I was craving. Bacon sandwiches, ham sandwiches, fries, mac and cheese etc. Daily calorie intake per 24hrs was often over 3000 which accounts for the weight gain. Also getting nice healthy red wine delivered. In a 5 liter box.
On a totally unrelated subject a 5 liter box of Merlot is approximately 4100 calories. Magically it now disappears in 48hrs.
LOL now, instead of a beer belly I have a wine belly!

Why is the UK’s Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) orchestrating a “black ops” operation on a US political figure?

Sub-Sаhаrаո Afrіcаոs contain up to 19% of, “ghost DNA”, from an extіnсt super-аrсhаіс hоmіոіd species, which anthropologists consider to likely be either Homo erectus or Homo habilis.
Both of those hоmіոіd species are 1,000,000+ years older than other modern hоmіոіd species like Cro-Magnon and Neanderthal.
Whites contain none of this super-аrсhаіс DNA, and are, instead, descendants of Cro-Magnon.
From the perspective of modern anthropology, the different rасеs of humans are the result of intermixing between various hоmіոіd species over thousands of years, thus producing vastly different and distinct subsресіеs of human, also known as, “rасеs”.

Ancient Wheel Origins Discovered in the Carpathian Mountains, nearly 7,000 years ago.
The invention of the wheel stands as one of the most transformative milestones in human history, yet its origins remain largely enigmatic. Recent research suggests that the wheel was likely invented around 3900 B.C.E. by Neolithic miners in the Carpathian Mountains, an area rich in copper resources. This innovation arose from the practical need to transport heavy loads of ore, marking a significant leap in technological advancement.
Historically, the wheel’s development has been attributed to various ancient civilizations, but the exact timeline and location have been subjects of debate.

These are offensive systems that can Jam ALL space Based systems and are considered as ‘Offensive’ because they don’t destroy actual communications and Intel systems permanently…. like the soon to be deployed Russian EMP systems that physically destroy current satellite comms systems. Using EMPs are now considered DEFENSIVE as everyone will go ‘dark’ regardless! The Jammers can be turned off and back on and this makes them highly usable and therefore ‘offensive’ as they can be easily used and won’t shut down everyone’s comms until replacements are replaced in orbit.

@ Aussie Infidel:
I think we pay around $100 a month here. We don’t do any irrigation, though. Not much will grow here except weeds and cactus
Irrigation water and using a shallow well if it is legal where you live.
There is usually a deep water table where you can drill a well and the water is pure and drinkable but the aquifer is a few hundred feet down and drilling the well costs thousands.
Also there is quite often a shallow layer of water, about 15-30ft down.
There are things called sand points or driven points which are pipes with a sharp pointy point on the end then a mesh screen. You pound them into the ground, connecting extension pipes as they go deeper. Then when you hit water connect a $100 shallow well pump to it.
Ideal for irrigation use.
@ Possum:
Obviously it is not ” free ” water as you have to use electricity to run the pump. Unless you get one of those hand pumps you often see in cowboy movies.

If anyone here works for Roku I have a complaint.
Yes I know Roku is a free streaming service and for it to be free there are advertisements every ten minutes lasting a minute to two minutes.
Many adverts I see are for either diseases that old people get or adverts for local businesses. I am OK with that. When adverts are on I go pee or get another beer.
What really annoys me is the server Roku uses to do the adverts in this area must be running Windows XP and be 20 years old. The one minute ad break takes 5 to 10 minutes with the buffering. Then the movie resumes buffering free.
LOL actually the ten minutes a commercial break using Roku gives me time to post here!

Food post. Supper tonight is a tuna steak. Cooked in a skillet with coconut oil, a sprinkle of sage and onion powder.
It looks OK to me. While it is on very low heat before the final on high heat to sear it I looked at the reviews of what I bought.

Seriously what the fuck is wrong with some people. A product gets one star, the lowest you can give a product because of this!

Tuna update. It was very nice. Also unlike some frozen fish it was not injected with ” contains up to 25% added water ” it was firm.
As usual it was one of the cheapest I could find. $6.42 per pound. Four 4oz individual portions.

BREAKING: Pennsylvania RNC official Val Biancaniello was just arrested at the polls in Delaware County after she told fellow voters to remain in line and not leave without voting
Someone recorded the arrest, saying, “She is not influencing people. She is not at all.”
She posted on Facebook saying, “I was just arrested at the government center in Delaware County for encouraging Republicans to stay in the long line and vote! Please do not get out of line, and do not let the Democrats discourage you from staying in that line!” –
@luckyvalpal
I apologize for the low video quality. It looks like the person who recorded this did so on a potato, but not just any potato… a potato grown by a liberal.

I encouraged people to stay in line and vote because the Democrats were discouraging voters from in person voting today in Delaware County. In fact, the election worker told people in line to go to the Chester Heights satellite office because the line was shorter there. Do you know what happened when they got to the Chester Heights office to vote in person? They were told that they ran out of mib applications. This is voter suppression in Delaware County, Pennsylvania. I did nothing wrong except encourage people to stay in line and vote. So they arrested me. VOTE!

BREAKING: The RNC just filed an emergency motion to the U.S. Supreme Court asking them to overturn a ruling from the Pennsylvania Supreme Court that UNLAWFULLY allows defective mail-in ballots to be counted
“This case is of paramount public importance, potentially affecting tens of thousands of votes in a State which many anticipate could be decisive in control of the U.S. Senate or even the 2024 Presidential Election.”
The PA Supreme Court recently created a rule out of thin air, subverting state law to allow erroneous mail-in ballots to be counted via provisional voting. Their ruling, in my opinion, clearly violated Article 1 Section 4 Clause 1 of the Constitution, which enumerates election oversight to state legislatures.
Pennsylvania law specifies that “A provisional ballot shall not be counted if the elector’s [mail] ballot is timely received by a county board of elections.” The law does NOT direct election officials to give provisional ballots for mail-in ballots that arrive with a lack of signature, date, or secrecy envelope. Simply put, if a ballot shows up without following the rules, it CANNOT be counted AT ALL.
The RNC wants SCOTUS to issue a pause against the PA court’s ruling or to issue an order “ordering that any provisional ballot cast by an individual whose mail ballot was timely received but defective (i) be segregated, and kept separate, from all other ballots and (ii) if counted, be counted separately and not included in the official vote tally.”
The Supreme Court has been derelict in dealing with major election integrity questions. It’s time for them to WAKE UP and act for once. Only Justices Gorsuch, Thomas, & Alito have shown consistent interest.

A few posts back and I said I would disclose why the presidential election voting thing in the USA was such a fuck up and takes so long, but I am bored and will tell you all now.
Last post I advocated for legal permanent residents to be able to vote on issues that were relevant to where they lived and worked and got shot down in flames. I still believe that legal permanent residents should be able to vote for who is on the local school board where their children attend school.
Anyway, in the rest of the civilised world an election is held with just one choice, who do you vote for as president. In the UK we do not vote for a prime minister we cast a vote as to who should be our representative in parliament.
The majority of whichever party then chooses a prime minister. Simples! And fast, and easy to do and count. That is why the prime minister of the UK can change without a general election. The dominant political party appoints a leader, and can get rid of that person and pick a new one.
Same with local elections, you choose your local council person and they do all the voting for mayor, dog catcher, sanitation engineer etc.
Two boxes to put a mark in. 30 seconds max, you get through the polling booth faster than the turnstile in a New York subway station.
In the USA you get to vote on everything! That is why when someone votes for a democrat president further down the ticket they vote democrat all the way and we get democrats elected that have no fucking clue about the job they are running for.
Also, as to why the lines to vote are so long, just look at the ballot. In my county it is 19 pages long.

@ Possum:
As an example how some leaders are voted for and other important positions in US government are beyond a voter’s control.
Vice president is not an elected position, not chosen by the electorate and can change during a presidential term.
Speaker of the house is not elected by the people but chosen by the majority of the house of representatives. Does not even have to be an elected member of the house.
So, 2nd and third people in line to be president are not actually elected by you common people.

THE EVIDENCE is in the search results, you clowns
So I watched the full context of this Jeremy Raskin 2025 color revolution coup clip (it begins around 58:49)
Raskin is FURIOUS at the Supreme Court for not going along with the ridiculous theory that Trump is disqualified from office on the basis of inciting the Jan 6 FEDsurrection
To contextualize his grievance, he undertakes a mini lecture in pseudo con law history, whining about the Supreme Court not being an agent of positive social change until the Warren Court (wah wah Dred Scott wah wah Plessy Fergueson)
Here’s where it does actually get wild— he says the job is now up to Congress to uphold Section 3 of 14th Amendment, by which he means uphold his theory that Trump is not qualified for office.
And upholding in this context seems to mean not certifying EVEN IF TRUMP IS THE CLEAR WINNER
“And then we all have body guards” due to “civil war conditions”
Obviously Raskin is a nutjob but it is still concerning for a member of congress to have this position.
His colleagues in Congress should be asked what their position on this is, and he should be condemned by Democrat leadership for this dangerous rhetoric.
