Posting Will Be Slower The Next Week
I’ll be taking a Father/Son trip for a few days, so posting will be slow.
I’ve scheduled most of the usuals already, with at least one best of (tune in to see what), so there should be a post each day.
If I do put something up, you can take shots at where we went. It’s one of our shared passions. We’ve gone through fishing, hunting, Karate, and this together over the years.
I usually introvert out and try not to go to stuff with people, but spending some of the little time I have left with my son makes it worth it to do.
It’s not like what I post changes the world, but I hope it brings some diversion from life from time to time.
Oh, and bad guys who think my abode is free to raid, there is a special surprise for you if you try.

When was the first time you really felt like a grown up (if ever)?
When was the first time you really felt like a grown up (if ever)?
I had to think about that if ever part, especially when you factor in my sophomoric sense of humor.
The real answer is…..it happened, and only in looking back did I realize that I (for the most part, I grew up)
I never saw it coming. I had a Wife, kids, a mortgage, and a job. After the kids moved out, I’m left with just my wife and my dog.
At my age (You got me by a few years, Bocopro), I guess it’s over. I also don’t climb ladders to do work, and I realized that the most valuable tool in your toolbox is a checkbook.

What Are The Biggest Differences Between Pro Golfers And Everyone Else (Including Scratch Players)
This post was written by asking an AI engine to summarize it for me. It’s in the head, as there are a lot of good ball strikers, as is the image above, but that doesn’t make them a pro golfer.
Here goes:
The biggest differences between professional golfers and regular golfers, including scratch golfers, lie in several key aspects of the game: driving distance, consistency, short game, course management, and mental approach.
Driving Distance
Professional golfers significantly outperform regular and scratch golfers in driving distance. On average, PGA Tour professionals drive around 300 yards off the tee, with longer hitters exceeding 320 yards. In contrast, scratch golfers average about 259-265 yards. This 30 to 40-yard difference per drive is substantial over an 18-hole round, making the course effectively play much longer for scratch and regular golfers.
Consistency and Fairway Accuracy
Scratch golfers tend to hit a slightly higher percentage of fairways than some pros, but this is often because pros take more aggressive lines and face firmer, faster course conditions. However, the pros’ greater consistency and shot-shaping ability allow them to recover better from misses. Regular golfers, including scratch golfers, may lack this reliability and precise shot control.
Short Game and Putting
While the difference in putting between pros and scratch golfers is smaller than often assumed—a typical pro puts about one stroke better per round—their short game skills stand out. Pros have a diverse array of reliable shots around the greens and get up-and-down nearly 60% of the time, whereas scratch golfers may lack the finesse and variety, resulting in tougher putts after chip shots. Regular golfers often struggle more with the short game, which greatly affects scoring.
Course Management and Mental Approach
Professional golfers approach each shot with a calculated plan, relying heavily on data, math, and course knowledge. They strategically choose safer or aggressive shots based on conditions and their skill level. Regular golfers, including scratch players, tend to stick to familiar shots and less calculated strategies. Mentally, pros exhibit stronger confidence and a winning mindset, treating good shots as expected and learning quickly from errors, unlike many amateurs who may feel lucky or resigned after similarly good or bad shots.

U.S. Scientists Assembled Viruses That Were Designed by AI — They Were Shocked When They Started Hunting Down Bacteria and Reproducing
Now we are allowing AI to create new viruses? Are we mad? What scientists at Stanford University are doing sounds like the plot to a really bad disaster movie. Viruses that are designed by AI are assembled by crazy researchers, and then those viruses start hunting down bacteria and reproducing. Needless to say, it doesn’t take much imagination to see where the rest of the movie would go. I realize that all of this sounds completely insane, but this is actually happening in real life. Our scientists really are assembling viruses that have been dreamed up by AI, and those viruses really are “capable of hunting down and killing strains of Escherichia coli”…
Scientists have created the first ever viruses designed by artificial intelligence (AI), and they’re capable of hunting down and killing strains of Escherichia coli (E. coli).
“This is the first time AI systems are able to write coherent genome-scale sequences,” says Brian Hie, a computational biologist at Stanford University, California. “The next step is AI-generated life,” says Hie, although his colleague Samuel King adds that “a lot of experimental advances need to occur in order to design an entire living organism”.
We are bringing viruses into existence that have never existed before.
I guess when AI gets smart enough to know that we can pull the plug, the robots will kill the humans. The story always ends that way. There is some stuff we should just leave alone

Uncovered Background On The Tylenol/Pregnancy Issue – Why Don’t You Take An Aspirin Instead?
That’s my medical opinion, relatively worthless other than through my own experience. As a Martial Artist in multiple disciplines as well as a competitive biker, I’ve taken a lot of everything. I’ve had surgeries to repair a lot of the damage from sparring and grappling, as well as hitting the deck on my bike at over 30 MPH.
I pretty much take Aspirin only now. I know the NSAIDS work, but I try to take it easy on my liver and kidneys. Lord only knows what it could do to a baby forming in the womb with a developing liver.
Anyway, here it is. The Johnson and Johnson statement of research is in the link below:
Scientifically proven links in medicine are relatively rare–in fact, there is relatively little evidence that a lot of drugs do what they claim to do, with the difference in outcomes between placebos and beneficial outcomes being modest to nonexistent. Some of the most commonly prescribed drugs, such a SSRIs, are FDA approved despite links with serious or even fatal side effects and relatively small benefits that are barely distinguishable from a placebo. There are plenty of dangerous surgical procedures, such as many back surgeries, that are often performed and are usually unsuccessful.
Some drugs and medical procedures are nearly miraculous, while others turn out to be busts when they hit the market, despite being FDA-approved.
We can argue whether the preponderance of the evidence shows a link between autism and Tylenol use during pregnancy, but not whether there is a lot of evidence that there is one. Even Johnson & Johnson, in internal documents obtained in discovery for an upcoming lawsuit, was very concerned about the potential link. Johnson & Johnson spun off its Tylenol business in 2023.

8 Reasons Why Introverts Have an Incredible Sense of Humor
1. They are observant and can think outside the box.
What’s one of the biggest skills comedians have? The ability to pay attention and take notice of things other people miss. Introverts pay close attention to details so nothing escapes them.
Observational comedy is a type of humor that is based on the regular aspects of everyday life. It’s the “Have you ever noticed” kind of joke. The comedian starts with something familiar that the audience can relate to and then flips it on its head.
Another aspect of this humor, and why many introverts are so good at it, is the creativity involved. Instead of making an A-to-B connection, introverts tap into their innovative brains and make an A-to-D association — and that’s where the humor comes in. The joke goes somewhere unexpected. Introverts don’t feel pressure to think on the spot like everyone else, which gives them the freedom to try new things and create their own rules. (And, of course, they’ve prepared all their material in advance!)
2. Despite their “quiet” personalities, they can be brilliant conversationalists who know how to keep people entertained.
Introverts have interesting things to say, but they don’t need to be the ones doing all the talking all of the time. They’re great listeners, and because many of them are intelligent, they’re also able to not only hear what’s being said, but they can also comprehend the meaning behind what the person doesn’t say. This ability to “read the room” — and pick up on people’s body language — is something that comedians need to have so they can gear their material to their audience. Introverts just do this instinctually.
And introverts don’t talk only to hear their own voices. They may not be constantly talking, but when they do say something, it tends to be engaging and thought-provoking. People tend to come away from talking with an introvert as feeling seen.
3. They are often self-aware, and that awareness can lead to great comic material.
One of the best qualities a person can have is the ability not to take themselves too seriously. Most introverts know themselves well, and they’re honest about their weaknesses and their strengths. They have a deep understanding of human nature, and it’s their humanity that makes them hilarious.
Some funny people may enjoy self-deprecating humor (humor that makes fun of themselves). But introverts know a little self-deprecating humor goes a long way, and too much can come off as not funny, but pathetic.
It’s okay to make someone have sympathy for you. But if they’re too worried about your well-being, then that takes away all the humor.
Many introverts know to strike a balance between humor that’s self-aware and humor that reflects equally on all humanity. For instance, stand-up comedian Mark Normand does this well and often talks about being an introvert in his material.
As unique as introverts are, so is their humor. Some may be sarcastic or cynical, while others may have a sly wit or share their humorous side by telling personal stories with amusing vocal inflections and facial expressions.
I have a friend who doesn’t try to be funny at all, but just is funny without meaning to be. When she says something hilarious, she’s as surprised as anyone else, and that’s what makes it even funnier.
Honesty is an important element of humor, and many introverts are self-aware enough to be honest with themselves and others. There’s a comedy rule that states, “Only the truth is funny.” It doesn’t mean every single word of a funny story or joke has to be 100 percent funny. Rather, it means there has to be a kernel of truth in every bit, so the reader (or audience member or friend) has something to hang onto.
4. They love writing, which tends to be a solo act.
Any kind of writing involves sitting your butt down on a chair (or standing at a desk) and writing. You need to have focus, drive, and patience to be a good writer. Writing humor is one of the most difficult types of writing, because you have to start with a natural ability to be funny, then know when (and when not) to use the comedy rules.
While there are certainly comedy writing teams, even then, they may write separately and only come together at certain times.
I believe that introverts make the best writers, and when their comedy-writing talent is developed, their writing is masterful. They enjoy being by themselves and working alone. Any stand-up set, story in a storytelling show, or script usually needs to be written first before it’s performed — and that’s perfect for the introvert.
(Here’s the science behind why introverts love being alone.)
5. They tend to be smart and able to see the humor in situations.
Let’s look at satire, which is defined as the use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people’s stupidity or vices. This is particularly common in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues. You can’t make fun of something if you don’t understand it in the first place.
Some people laugh in tense situations, even when it’s not appropriate. The reason is that laughter is a stress-reliever, and it can be a coping mechanism. Yet introverts are able to go beyond the obvious and find the humor beneath the surface, which may help them deal with a stressful situation or person. (This is similar to how introverts prefer deep talk to small talk.)
Want to feel more at ease in social situations?
Discover the secrets to enjoying fun, meaningful conversations. Know exactly what to say — even if you’re introverted, shy, or socially anxious. Feel less drained and have more energy while socializing.
6. They enjoy learning new things and sharing their knowledge with others.
I had an improv teacher who insisted that improvisers not only be educated, but that they needed to be up on all current events, popular culture, and media. If you’re performing in an improv show, and another person starts a scene making a reference to something — and you don’t know what they’re talking about — it can be a problem.
Also, telling the same stale jokes over and over again, and making references to things that happened so long ago that no one remembers what you’re talking about, will remove the funny right out of them.
So, because a lot of introverts are life-long learners, they keep things fresh, and they enjoy sharing what they know with others. Sometimes the best way to get your message across is with humor.
7. They can be fantastic communicators and enjoy expressing themselves (when they are comfortable, that is).
Comedians, like any creative person, need an outlet to express themselves, and sometimes that outlet is a stand-up show. It allows introverts to reveal themselves in a safe way.
If you think about it, it’s not really so strange for an introvert to stand onstage and talk. As the aforementioned comedian Mark Normand says about why a stand-up set is so good for introverts: “[It’s a] one-sided conversation that’s been pre-written and rehearsed over and over. If one of you guys talk, you get thrown out [of the venue].” Now that sounds like heaven for an introvert, right?
8. They are born comics.
You can teach someone how to tell a joke, timing, and even do physical comedy, but having a sense of humor can’t be taught or faked.
While it may seem as if extroverts are more likely to have a fantastic sense of humor, the truth is, just as many, if not more, introverts seem to be professional comedians, stand-ups, improvisers, and comedy and humor writers.
People may have false images of introverts as humorless people who wouldn’t know a witty remark if it bit them on the nose — but they couldn’t be more wrong. Many introverts have a highly developed sense of humor, whether they use it to tell jokes on stage, at the family dinner table, or in an email to a coworker.

Somebody Must Have Been Really Thirsty
Thieves Target Prized Whiskey in $1M Heist
Nearly $1 million worth of whiskey has vanished in what appears to be a rare large-scale liquor theft in Washington state.
Westland Distillery confirmed that 12,000 bottles, including its prized Garryana 10th anniversary release, were stolen from its Burlington warehouse in late July.
The theft had been kept quiet. But a recent report from a freight carrier to a local sheriff’s department caught the attention of the Seattle Times. The theft was confirmed earlier this week.
Westland disclosed that on July 31, a freight truck driver presented authentic-looking paperwork authorizing a pickup bound for New Jersey. The shipment was loaded but never arrived.
Company officials believe fraudulent documents were used to obtain clearance through a contracted broker. Among the stolen stock were Westland’s flagship single malt, a new release called Watchpost, and 3,000 bottles of Garryana — a limited-edition whiskey retailing for $150 but often commanding higher resale prices.

People Killing Themselves And Their Kids Just To Hate Trump
He could say don’t jump off a cliff and there would be hordes of Democrats lining up to leap
Now Tylenol
Nicole Sirotek, founder of American Frontline Nurses, claimed that she received a frantic 4 a.m. call from a distraught husband whose pregnant wife is now on a ventilator after overdosing on Tylenol.
According to Sirotek, the woman, who was between 23 and 25 weeks pregnant, attempted to ingest massive amounts of Tylenol in an effort to “prove Donald Trump wrong” after his recent remarks linking acetaminophen use during pregnancy to autism.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, President Trump on Monday announced that the use of acetaminophen, the active ingredient in Tylenol, can increase the risk of autism when used by pregnant women.
HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said Tylenol is tied to autism, ADHD, and liver toxicity in children.
“Got a frantic call at 4am from a husband who was given my phone number via someone who had it. His pregnant wife is now on a ventilator dying of liver failure trying to “prove” that Tylenol doesn’t cause autism since this is trending in TikTok.
He know has to make to make the tough decision to try and save an unborn baby that may not survive outside the womb at an approx gestation of 23-25wks. At the same time his wife won’t survive through the week and will never get to meet her baby
This behavior is ridiculous. This woman hated Trump so much because of the HARVARD STUDY on Tylenol and Autism she ultimately killed herself by overdosing on Tylenol to try and “prove Trump wrong.”
Her baby may not even survive either Her husband now may lose his entire family because of the craziness of liberal women chasing TikTok clout with TDS.””
There a lot of dumbassess willing to risk the health of their kids just for the chance to hate Trump. What are these dumbass females thinking?

1968, Both The Summer Of Love And The Summer Of Hate And Violence
It was a turning point for our nation. Viet Nam, Kent State and a range of college activities took place. A lot of college took place in the jungles of Saigon. It could be the year that was the beginning of the end of America as that is when it was torn apart the worst since the Civil War.
The love part? It was mostly a bunch of hippies opposing war and boning each other. Those are your grandparents now. It usually involved a lot of drugs. Between the war and drugs, there were a lot of messed up people.
I lived through that time. I liked looking at naked girls at concerts as well as dreading being drafted. Fortunately for me, the war ended and they wouldn’t even take me as an enlistment.
Politics is a dirty business. It always has been. But today, politics is sometimes too often synonymous with violence.
While there were many catalysts that resulted in violence being seen as a “legitimate” form of political discourse, one stands out: Columbia University, 1968. That year, a combination of black and anti-war activists took over a building on the campus of New York’s premier university. They demanded that Columbia cancel a proposed nearby gymnasium that was claimed to be racist and end its relationship with a Department of Defense-affiliated think tank.
The NYPD eventually ejected the activists after a series of violent clashes. In a sane world, every one of those students would have been expelled, barred from campus, and sued for damages. But that’s not what happened.
Image created using AI.
No, the administration acquiesced to virtually every demand, and there were very few consequences. Suddenly, on TVs across America, activists were learning the lesson that violent takeovers can yield good results with minimal consequences, if any, even at one of the nation’s leading universities. The message having been received, it was suddenly gloves off for activists across the country. Yale, Howard, Brown, and others followed. The next year saw more of the same at Harvard and U Penn, too.
These students, these radicals, including terrorists, did not reflect most American people’s opinion. In that year’s election, the Democrat candidate, who was far more acceptable to the American people than the left’s activist wing, could still secure only 13 states and 42% of the popular vote. Four years later, Nixon would be reelected by a 49 to 1 Electoral College landslide. Not only that, but between 1968 and 1988, Democrats would win only one out of 6 elections and would lose 49 states twice.
In 1968 and many years after, the radicals in the Democrat party wouldn’t reflect majority opinion, but the die was cast. The lesson was learned: Violence wins. And so it grew.
The radical SDS (Students for a Democratic Society) launched violent protests against their closest mainstream ally, the Democrats, during the 1968 DNC convention in Chicago. The next year, terrorists Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn would launch the Weather Underground, which would bomb the US Capitol two years later. The pace accelerated: “During an eighteen-month period in 1971 and 1972, the FBI reported more than 2,500 bombings on U.S. soil, nearly 5 a day.” That violence wasn’t coming from conservatives.
Over time, those Baby Boomers, the spoiled spawn of the Greatest Generation, would basically turn against and undermine everything their parents fought for. They would go on to become teachers and professors and writers and journalists, taking the lessons and the perspectives from 1968 with them. Nothing exemplifies this more than the fact that Communist Howard Zinn’s treacherous A People’s History of the United States became the textbook of choice for tens of thousands of teachers across the country.
It would take a while, but by the early 1990s, the radicals from ’68 were firmly in control of almost every educational and cultural institution in America. From schools and universities to NGOs and newsrooms, the radicals were in a position to brainwash America’s youth with their leftist poison. And they did.
America began to see the full fruit of the radicals’ poison during the Bush years, when he was regularly called a Nazi and compared to Hitler. In 2008, the radicals finally came into their own with the election of their fellow traveler, Barack Obama. Indeed, Obama launched his political career in the home of terrorists Ayers and Dohrn.
Under Obama, the racial divide would grow, the gay lobby would begin its evolution into the trans nightmare we have today, and the violent rhetoric against anyone who opposed the left would intensify. Obama would use the government apparatus, which was now fully stocked by acolytes of those 1960s radicals, to target conservatives. Simultaneously, the justice apparatus across the country—by design, typically one of the least radical elements of the government structure—from District Attorneys to parole boards to judges and justices, embraced the leftist victimization mentality where virtually no transgression, including violence, should be punished, unless the perpetrator is from an unapproved group.
What’s more, the universities had become indoctrination centers producing millions of illiberal and sometimes violent graduates taking to the streets in support of every leftist cause. They were found in Antifa, in BLM, in trans groups, in pro-illegal immigrant groups, and antisemitic groups from both the Islamic and progressive perspectives.
All of this culminated during the era of Donald Trump. His first term was bookended by violence. In January 2017, Washington went up in flames upon his inauguration, and in the summer of 2020, cities and towns around the country were engulfed in flames and violence as the death of George Floyd sparked the left’s decades-long propaganda kindling of white supremacy and institutional racism. Then, during the Biden administration, violent antisemitic protests were allowed to blossom on campuses across the country.
Which brings us to today. Charlie Kirk’s assassination has sparked discussions about the absurd notion of murder being a legitimate form of political interaction. Where America once was a place where ideas were debated and using violence to achieve political ends was fringe at best, today we have something different.
In a recent survey questioning the legitimacy of assassinating Donald Trump for political reasons, fully 55% of left-leaning respondents suggested that it was “somewhat justified.” The same survey showed similar support for killing Elon Musk, burning down Tesla dealerships, and worshipping Luigi Mangione.
These are the people who proffer the age-old hypothetical “Would you go back in time and kill Hitler as a baby to save 20 million lives” before calling Trump or his supporters Nazis and nodding at you knowingly. They are the same people who claim that saying men can’t have babies is violence.
That is insane. That fully a quarter of the American population thinks that killing a political rival might be a legitimate tactic, actual violence, is unbelievable…but sadly believable at the same time.

Not Really Love Thy Neighbor, But Over Grass Clippings?
Share this:
AOTW
Let’s start with Eric Swalwell, who was boning Chinese spy Fang-Fang and giving away US secrets. How he’ not already hung is that it’s not 1776, when we stood for patriotism He only gets a Benedict Arnold trophy.
He pulls this lining up the media with the liberals, as if there was any doubt:
Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., warned Federal Communications Commission Chair Brendan Carr on Thursday to “get a lawyer” over what he called “dirty deals” after the suspension of comedian Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night talk show.
ABC put the show on indefinite hold on Wednesday following comments Kimmel made about the assassination of Turning Point USA CEO Charlie Kirk.
I’ve been waiting for this to happen. Everyone including Kimmel predicted it. Jimmy got canned. The left is finally getting cancelled.
He was funny on the Man Show and the other host, Adam Carrolla is very conservative, go figure. I mean how did they get away with girls jumping on trampolines?
Then, he must have gotten paid a lot to veer left of Meathead, Keith Olberman, and the other stars of liberal land.
Anyway, for the stuff he’s said, and for trashing Charlie Kirk, Jimmy Kimmel, You are the asshole of the week.
The Media Is on War Footing Over Suspension
Legacy Media outlets lost their collective minds when CBS canned both “The Late Show” and its far-Left host Stephen Colbert earlier this year. That media reaction is tame compared to what we’re seeing now.
Kimmel Appears Unrepentant
The comic host could have backpedaled and/or apologized for his comments the following night. He was 100 percent wrong, and Kirk’s death is a national tragedy. We’re a forgiving country, and a heartfelt “my bad” would go a long way.
Except Kimmel did no such thing. And according to reports, he planned to double down had he been able to resume his show Wednesday night. We all make mistakes. Kimmel’s was born out of naked ideology, and that’s being kind.
FCC Chair’s Comments Weren’t Good or Helpful
FCC Chairman Brendan Carr warned that the government could take action on Kimmel’s original comments. That ties to the notion that broadcast platforms serve the public good, and malicious lies are antithetical to that rule.
He’s technically right, but it’s a very dangerous path to go down. It’s also something that could easily be weaponized by unscrupulous players on the Left and Right.
The Biden administration did plenty to curb free expression. Imagine what President Ocasio-Cortez would do with such a precedent?
The Left’s Censorship Cries Stink of Hypocrisy
There isn’t enough space on the Interwebs to share all the liberal hypocrisy on this issue. The Left downplayed or fed into Cancel Culture for years. It ignored the rise of Sensitivity Readers who censored new and existing art. They watched in silence as comedians self-censored for fear of career repercussions.
To liberals crying, “but what about free speech,” we say, “pound sand.”
This Isn’t OG Cancel Culture
Cancel Culture punished comedians for jokes they told a decade ago. Maybe more. It crucified stars for things they did when they were barely adults. It pummeled artists for sharing the “wrong” views on key issues, even if many others rightfully agreed with those views.
This … this … isn’t Cancel Culture. Kimmel’s big lie was nauseating, inappropriate and demanded a retraction. Period. And, if he had done that, none of this might have happened.
ABC May Be Embracing the Situation
CBS canceled “The Late Show” in part because it’s losing the network $40 million a year. It’s a no-brainer to cut ties with a format that no longer matters in a 21st-century media world.
What about Kimmel?
Is “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” a cash cow? Late-night revenues have been cratering for some time. Kimmel draws roughly between 1.2 and 1.7 million per episode. That’s lower than Colbert’s “Late Show” viewership and far lower than the format’s salad days.
Some reports suggest ABC wouldn’t mind getting out of the Jimmy Kimmel business given that reality. It’s a topic worth exploring.
The Liberal Bubble Bit Kimmel
It may say, “Jimmy Kimmel Live!,” but the show is taped and features a written monologue. That means someone had to pen that MAGA lie and, most likely, several staffers read it before the show’s taping. Did anyone raise their hand and say, “No, that’s inaccurate. Shouldn’t we change the line before we hit record?”
Apparently not.
Even worse? No one spoke up the following day, when Team Kimmel could have served up that aforementioned apology. They were all caught up in the liberal bubble, the one that told them Kirk’s killer was MAGA through and through.
Legacy Media lies set this in motion, just as Fox News’ David Marcus said.

And yet here we have 2 that cheat, fight, divorce, and are still smoking the sheets. Hell, I’d want someone new. Getting back with your ex is like taking a shit and trying to put it back in.
You pick right up where you last left off. There is no new relationship. It’s the same old shit, SSDD. After getting a lot of ass for years, at some point, it feels the same like at the start. Some girls know how to use it better than others, but most don’t try hard enough. As I told a female doctor, there is no golden pussy.
If you thought getting a divorce after 14 years of marriage means that you can’t still have sex with each other, think again. You can continue sleeping with each other and this couple is proof of that if nothing else.
The 44-year-old husband is still feeling his way through the entire situation. He’s not sure if he and his 46-year-old wife are going about the whole divorce process in the best way possible.

I’m not sure exactly what his hangups are with the arrangement. I mean, what possibly could go wrong banging your way through a divorce? Whatever it is, it made him feel the need to ask for advice on the best place to receive such advice: Reddit.
SIGN UP for The Daily OutKick. New Look, Same Attitude.
Can you think of a better place to share your story? I didn’t think so. He wrote, “We’ve been married 14 years and together almost 20. We have had a lot of ups and downs, infidelity on both sides, and some very bad verbal fights over the years.”
So they fight and they’ve both cheated. There have to be some positive aspects still left in their relationship. He continued, “That said, we get along very well now, but she is adamant that she wants to divorce.”
The idea of getting divorced took some getting used to for him, but he did come to terms with it and realized that it was best for both of them. Although, throughout it all, they’ve been able to maintain a connection in the sheets.
The One Thing That Still Works For This Divorcing Couple: Their Sex Life
“The one thing about our relationship that is still good is our sex life. In the last year it has ramped up and become a very exceptional part of my life that I really enjoy and she does as well,” he admitted.
“Through a lot of communication, we have decided that we will continue to be intimate with each other until it doesn’t make sense (one of us decides we’re done or start dating.)”

How Does Japan Have Nearly 100K Centenarians?
Japan’s population of people aged 100 or older just crossed the 99,000 mark, a figure that would have seemed like science fiction just a few decades ago. As of September 1, 2025, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare tallied 99,763 centenarians, an increase of 4,644 from the year before. This milestone comes as the nation marks its 55th straight year of breaking its own record for longevity, with women comprising the overwhelming majority—88 percent, or 87,784 individuals—compared to 11,979 men.
At the top of this remarkable group sits 114-year-old Shigeko Kagawa, a retired obstetrician and gynecologist from Nara Prefecture who didn’t hang up her stethoscope until age 86. Kagawa made headlines in 2021 by carrying the Olympic torch at 109, a testament to the vitality that defines so many in her cohort. The oldest man, 111-year-old Kiyotaka Mizuno, rounds out a picture of endurance that the rest of the world can only envy.
What fuels this extraordinary lifespan? Officials point to a combination of disciplined eating habits and an unyielding commitment to staying in motion, even as the years pile on. Japan’s rates of heart disease and cancers like breast and prostate remain among the lowest globally, thanks in large part to meals built around fish, vegetables, and soy, while steering clear of excessive red meat and salt.

BWBB – BLM Grifter Pleads Guilty To Fraud, Spending Donations On Herself
A radical leftist activist accused of defrauding her own organization plans to plead guilty to federal fraud charges.
Monica Cannon-Grant—the founder of Violence in Boston and a staunch proponent of defunding the police—filed court documents requesting a change of plea hearing, Boston25 and WCVB reported Friday.
The filing did not clarify whether she secured a plea deal with prosecutors or was simply pleading guilty to the accusations. Her trial had been scheduled for Oct. 14.
She was accused of using nonprofit funds—out of a total budget of $1 million—from 2017 to 2021 for personal expenses.
The charges, announced in 2022, amounted to a staggering 27-count superseding indictment.
The expenditures included car and insurance payments, high-end salon visits, luxury dinners, and a Maryland vacation.
She also allegedly pocketed $54,000 in taxpayer-funded pandemic relief, much of which she spent on herself.

Remembering 9-11: “That Feeling That We Were Really All One People”
I was working with our European divisions (every Country as it was IBM) and on 9/12 they were all “We are Americans too”.
By the next day, they were back to their favorite sport, trashing America. Everyone shoots for number one, and since Bush was a republican, the hate came back quickly and with even stronger wishes for the USA to be harmed.
Let’s not forget that I’m married to a European. Her family didn’t think that we should protect our country because of the violence it would cause. They stopped being my in-laws that day and became my wife’s family. I had mentioned that this was the biggest attack on American soil since Pearl Harbor.
An analyst I was forced to deal with was saying how the US didn’t have to fight 2 fronts in WWII. I calmly reminded him that we had the Japanese going on at the same time. Yes, he was an asshole and an ignorant one at that.
I don’t even go to see them anymore because the liberal press in Europe can out liberal the US liberal press. They believe every word and the hate they have for Trump is only matched by Keith Olberman and Rosie O’Donnell.
Anyway……
Next year will be the 25th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terror attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City. Most folks who were adults at that time remember it like it was yesterday.
Many of us have also had years when we’ve felt like distancing ourselves from the anniversary commemorations. Even for those not directly impacted, memories of that day—and the days that followed—still bring back traces of a trauma we’d never felt before. A feeling of insecurity we’d never experienced. Perhaps actor Tony Danza summed it up best when he said “I don’t like revisiting how I felt.”
In some ways the trauma seems to deepen with time, as new layers of grief emerge–like memories of loved ones who shared those moments but are now gone.
This year I decided to crack open the door and look back, if only for a little while.
In doing so, I came across some videos I’d never seen before–interviews with celebrities of that time period discussing where they were on 9-11.
Ten years after the attacks, producer and director David P. Levin released his documentary “When Pop Culture Saved America: A 9-11 Story.” Originally produced for A&E Networks, it explored how entertainment, comedy, and music helped Americans cope and rebuild in the months that followed. Levin spoke with numerous celebrities for the documentary, later posting extended interviews on his “Pop Goes the Culture” YouTube channel.
They didn’t remember. The people I dealt with were happy when we got attacked every time since and were mad when we protected ourselves.

The Left-RIght Divide on Family Creation Matches the Divide on Mental Health
Just over a week ago Ed wrote about a new study which found a significant birth rate gap between conservatives and progressives. Here’s a chart published by the Financial Times author who analyzed this.
He was quick to point to the irony of this situation as progressives holding back on children because they are concerned about the planet would ensure that most children were raised by conservatives who didn’t share those concerns. Over time that could move society as a whole to the right.
Last year, a study came out showing that left-leaning adolescents were experiencing a greater increase in depression than their more conservative peers. Indeed, while girls are more likely to be depressed than boys, the study, by a group of epidemiologists at Columbia, showed that liberal boys had higher rates of depression than conservative girls…
So, again, it seems like progressivism, depression and having fewer children are all correlated together in some way. One way to put this is that progressives are more likely to be depressed and depressed people are less likely to have kids. By contrast, conservatism, better mental health and wanting a family also seem correlated. Given that these factors seem to be significantly impacting the

Man Who Helped Spark ‘Hands Up Don’t Shoot’ Hoax Shot And Killed
Dorian Johnson, whose account of Michael Brown’s 2014 death fueled the “hands up, don’t shoot” movement and was later contradicted by federal investigators, died in a shooting Sunday, police said.
The 33-year-old was killed when someone shot him around 8:30 a.m. at a Ferguson, Missouri, apartment building less than a mile from where Brown died eleven years ago, Ferguson Police spokesperson Patricia Washington confirmed, CNN reported. Police detained one person but released them without filing charges, St. Louis County prosecuting attorney Melissa Price Smith said.
“This appears to be a domestic incident involving a claim of self-defense,” Smith continued, adding that the case remains an active investigation.
Ferguson police clarified that no officers shot Johnson. “There had been earlier rumors that this was an officer-involved shooting however that information is incorrect. No officers, Ferguson or otherwise, were involved in this incident other than to begin our investigation,” the Ferguson Police Department (FPD) stated in a post.

Is Your Underwear Cockblocking You?
On Tuesday, I posited that the Pill may not only be driving women crazy, but it may also go a long way to explaining men’s declining sperm counts. Today, I’ve got a new theory about why men’s sperm counts are low and women struggle to get pregnant: It’s the underwear. While we’ve been focused on men’s tighty-whities as one of the problems behind their lower sperm count because they overheat men’s testicles, cooking sperm, the polyester that’s in almost everyone’s underwear may also be a problem.
In an era before “better living through chemistry” became a thing, to the extent people wore undergarments, they fit loosely and, of course, were made from natural fibers such as cotton, wool, linen, or silk. Having said that, chemistry began to infiltrate fabrics as early as the second half of the late 18th century, when arsenic was used to create a startling, very popular, and incredibly poisonous green dye. Alice in Wonderland’s Mad Hatter was also a victim of the mercury that hatters used to felt hats made from animal fur.
Image made using AI.
However, it was at the end of the late 19th century that chemistry and clothing really took off. The first artificial fabric was rayon, which Hilaire de Chardonnet developed in the 1880s using wood pulp. While wood is a natural product, the process to turn it into a thread was decidedly unnatural.
The next leap into artificial fibers was nylon, which Wallace Carothers, working at DuPont, invented in 1935. This fiber was ubiquitous in the years after WWII. Even growing up in the 1960s and 1970s, I remember everything being nylon, not just stockings. Nylon was entirely artificial, for it was made from petrochemicals.
During and after WWII, artificial fibers exploded in the fabric marketplace. Acrylic and polyester were invented in 1941. By 1958, figure-shaping Spandex or Elastane, marketed as Lycra, hit the marketplace. In the 1960s, Polypropylene fibers started being used for everything from carpets to sportswear. These fabrics later morphed into the microfibers of the 1980s. All these fibers are petroleum derivatives.
These fabrics are ubiquitous and affordable. Nowadays, you pay extra for all-natural products, so most people are wearing some form of petroleum-based product on their skin, including in their underwear. Finding underwear (especially women’s undies) without Spandex or polyester, both of which lend the fabric elasticity that makes the underwear fit better and enhances the wearing experience, is difficult and expensive.
In the same post-WWII era, the American birthrate has been rapidly declining. There are lots of reasons: affluence, which always pairs with smaller families; easily available birth control and abortion; climate changistas’ hostility to children; men’s decreased sperm counts; sterility from STDs; and women’s decreased fecundity all go a long way to explaining the problem.
Today, though, one X user put together a long thread that may also explain men’s lower sperm rates and women’s decreased fecundity: Petroleum-based polyester underwear may be affecting their hormones:

Who’s In Charge In Canada, Robespierre?
The government is killing them off as fast as they did in France with the Guillotine. What about that socialized healthcare that the celebtards were raving about?
According to a recent article in The Atlantic, assisted suicide is now so popular in Canada that doctors cannot keep up with the demand. Appropriately titled Canada is Killing Itself, the article described how Medical Assistance in Dying (or MAiD), passed just 10 years ago, now accounts for about one in 20 deaths in Canada. That number is more than the total number of combined deaths from Alzheimer’s and diabetes, and it surpasses many countries where assisted dying has been legal for far longer. The shortage of “care” is not due to a lack of interest from medical professionals. Doctors are in fact flocking to join what the Atlantic article called “the world’s fastest-growing euthanasia regime.”
For example, Dr. Stefanie Green, a founder of the Canadian Association of MAiD Assessors and Providers, traded in her decades-long practice as a maternity doctor to end lives. Both kinds of medicine, she told The Atlantic, are “deliveries.” Some doctors have reported euthanizing hundreds of patients and yet, the demand exceeds the supply.
Despite what Canadian officials have claimed, there are no effective “safeguards.” A report last year in the New Atlantis noted hundreds of serious violations of regulations in just the Ontario province, and none have been reported to law enforcement. Although Ontario Chief Coroner Dirk Huyer boasted, “Every case is reported. Everybody has scrutiny on all these cases,” physician whistleblowers identified over 400 “issues with compliance.” These range from patients killed who were not capable of consent to communication breakdowns with pharmacists providing the deadly prescriptions. For example, only 61% of physicians notify pharmacists about the purpose of the euthanasia medications prior to dispensation, as required.

Peer Reviewed Study Links Covid-19 Jab To Turbo Cancers
Just ask Toby Keith and Joe Diffie and a host of others who went from killing it in the gym to dead very quickly
A bombshell peer-reviewed study out of Italy has just shattered the narrative peddled by Big Pharma, corporate media, and government health bureaucrats.
For the first time, a population-wide cohort of nearly 300,000 people tracked over 30 months has revealed that the so-called “safe and effective” COVID-19 shots are linked to alarming spikes in multiple forms of cancer.
Researchers followed every resident aged 11 and older in Italy’s Pescara province from June 2021 through December 2023, examining hospital records and adjusting for age, sex, prior health conditions, and even prior COVID infection.
The researchers allegedly found that those who received at least one vaccine dose had a much lower risk of dying from any cause compared to the unvaccinated, and this protective effect was even stronger in people who had three or more doses.
When looking at cancer, the picture was less clear. People who had been vaccinated appeared somewhat more likely to be hospitalized with a new cancer diagnosis than those who were unvaccinated, particularly for cancers of the breast, bladder, and colon.
However, this increased risk was only evident in people who had never been infected with COVID-19, and it disappeared—or even reversed—when the analysis required at least twelve months to pass between vaccination and a hospital admission for cancer.
- Hospitalizations for cancer were 35% higher in vaccinated individuals versus the unvaccinated (HR 1.23).
- The link was strongest in men and in those with no prior COVID infection.
- Overall Cancer Risk: +23% after just one dose
- Breast Cancer: +54% risk after vaccination
- Bladder Cancer: +62% increased risk
- Colorectal Cancer: +35% increased risk
Even after multiple doses, the risks remained elevated across the board.

Opioids More Likely To Kill Than Car Crashes, Guns Or Suicide
And who sends all this Fentanyl to the USA? China of course
The National Safety Council reports that Americans are more likely to die from an opioid overdose than a car crash or suicide.
As Statista’;s Katharina Buchholz shows in the following chart, the likelihood of dying from opioid use in the U.S. increased from lifetime odds of one in 96 in 2017 to one in 57 in 2023 (down from one in 55 in 2022).
The same year, someone living in the U.S. only had one in 87 odds of dying of suicide and a one in 95 chance of dying in a car crash.
You will find more infographics at Statista
Potent and deadly synthetic opioid fentanyl – which is often mixed with heroin without the knowledge of drug users – contributed to this dismal development together with the ongoing crisis of prescription pain killer misuse.
The U.S. experienced 105,000 overdose deaths in 2023, down from 2022 after a severe uptick during the coronavirus pandemic.
The most likely cause of death in the U.S. continues to be heart disease with lifetime odds of 1 in 6, followed by cancer and stroke.
Covid-19 lifetime odds were similar to those of stroke in previous years, but are no longer reported by the source.
Despite being a common fear, the chances of dying due to gun assault stand at only one in 238, but are still greater than drowning or choking to death, which have odds of around one in 1,000 and one in 2,500, respectively.
Dying in a dog attack remains highly unlikely with the chances of that happening at one in 44,499.
Dying in a hurricane or tornado or any other storm event is actually more likely at one in 39,192.

For Introverts: 7 Signs Your Social Battery Is Running Low
In social settings, the introvert brain is busy processing every word and detail, which explains why it can feel so exhausting.
If you’re an introvert like me, the idea of being around a large group of people can feel overwhelming in a way that extroverts just don’t understand. If you get anxious just thinking about concerts, networking events, or even holiday parties, you’re not alone.
Spending too much time around people can lead to what’s called an “introvert hangover.” I’ve experienced this many times myself, but over the years, I’ve learned how to recognize the signs —
7 Signs Your Social Battery Is Running Low
1. You just don’t feel like talking.
Even if it’s someone you normally enjoy chatting with, when you just don’t feel like engaging in conversation, it may be a sign that you need alone time ASAP.
The introverted brain processes information more deeply, which means socializing can take more mental energy than it does for extroverts.
When we’re in a social setting, our brain is working overtime to take in all the conversations, stimuli, and dynamics happening around us. It’s no wonder this can be exhausting.
That’s why introverts need time alone to recharge our batteries and regain the energy drained during social interactions. Without it, we simply won’t feel like chatting!
2. You second-guess everything you say.
When you try to engage in conversation but feel like your words are coming out all wrong, it may be a sign that your brain is running on empty and needs some downtime to recharge.
When you’re constantly second-guessing yourself or worrying about how you’re being perceived, it adds even more strain to your mental reserves.
Bottom line: For introverts, processing information and managing our own thoughts and feelings at the same time can lead to decision fatigue.
3. The thought of being around people makes you anxious.
If the idea of interacting with others makes your palms sweat and your stomach churn, it’s a clear sign you may need to take a break from socializing until your energy levels return.
For introverts, being around people can be mentally exhausting, especially if we feel like we have to be “on” or put on a persona that doesn’t feel natural.
We also tend to prefer meaningful, one-on-one conversations over small talk or large group interactions, which can quickly drain our social battery.
4. You start zoning out during conversations.
Do your eyes glaze over when someone starts talking? That could be a sign your brain has reached its limit for social interaction and is craving peace and quiet.
Because social interaction consumes energy, the constant pressure to stay engaged, think of responses, and keep up with conversations can quickly become overwhelming. Eventually, the mental fatigue catches up, and we just zone out.
5. Your temper is shorter than usual.
It’s hard not to snap at people when all you really want is some quiet time to yourself. This can happen before you even realize your brain and body are overdue for a break.
For introverts, socializing can be stressful. As a result, our patience runs thin, and we may become easily frustrated or irritated. Suddenly, it feels like everyone and everything is getting under our skin.
6. You have trouble sleeping.
When our brains are overstimulated, it can keep us awake at night with racing thoughts.
Of course, difficulty sleeping can be caused by many things — from medical conditions to hormonal changes — but it can also be a sign of an introvert hangover.
Since we introverts burn through more energy while socializing, the aftermath can leave us feeling wired but tired. That “buzzed” feeling makes it harder to settle down and drift off.
If this sounds familiar, try carving out some extra downtime before bed — like reading a good book, journaling, or taking a warm bath — to help calm your mind. The key to healing your overstimulated brain is to get those zzz’s back on track.
7. You crave alone time.
This one comes as no surprise! If all you want is to escape the constant chatter and noise, chances are an introvert hangover is on its way.
While society often stigmatizes spending time alone, for introverts it’s a natural and necessary part of life. Alone time helps us recharge, feel refreshed, and show up as our best selves.
So take a look at your calendar and schedule solo time like it’s a non-negotiable appointment. It could be as simple as going for a walk, meditating, or journaling — whatever helps you reset.

Wildlife Photographs of the Year
There are some pretty cool photos here and a good video if you go to the link. There is the usual save the planet mumbo jumbo, but like Playboy, I looked at the pictures.
The Natural History Museum in London is previewing some of the more than 60,000 photographs entered for this year’s “Wildfire Photographer of the Year” competition.
A record-breaking 60,636 photographs entered this year’s competition. The exhibition will open Oct. 17, featuring 100 powerful images that captured Earth’s most compelling wildlife stories, the Natural History Museum said in a press release.
An international panel of wildlife experts, photographers and scientists are selecting the winning images in secret, judging each photo on creativity and technical skill. The competition will celebrate its 61st year as the world’s premier showcase for nature photography.
TV presenters and conservationists Chris Packham and Megan McCubbin will announce the Grand Title winners at an Oct. 14 ceremony, which will stream live on the museum’s YouTube channel. The exhibition will pair striking artistry with scientific data, including the museum’s Biodiversity Intactness Index, to help visitors understand and advocate for endangered ecosystems, the museum said.
Here are some photos from the exhibition:
A potter wasp turned Bidyut Kalita’s home in northeast India into an unexpected wildlife studio. The determined insect caught Kalita’s eye as it built a mud nest on his picture frame, prompting him to prop open his door and wait. His patience paid off when he snapped the wasp mid-flight, carrying a paralyzed caterpillar that would feed its future offspring.
For three years, Lakshitha Karunarathna tracked a heartbreaking scene in Sri Lanka – elephants scavenging for food in garbage dumps. His drone captured a lone elephant picking through mounds of trash in Ampara, where plastic waste proved deadly. Twenty elephants lost their lives at this single site after eating indigestible wrappers.
Pilot Jassen Todorov found unexpected beauty while landing at San Francisco International Airport. His aerial shot of sunset-lit salt ponds tells environmental success story, where 6,000 hectares of industrial salt flats are being transformed back into thriving wetlands. The restoration project tears down old dikes, letting nature reclaim what industry once took.
Deep in a crystal-clear Florida river, Isaac Szabo Wrapped his feet around a drowned tree to capture an intimate glimpse of longnose gar courtship. His underwater shot caught more than just the spawning fish – a passing turtle completed the scene, showcasing the diversity of Florida’s waterways.
In the ruins of an ancient Indian monument, Sitaram Raul endured an unusual hazard to photograph fruit bats flying. Working in complete darkness, he focused his camera where he thought the bats might appear, all while dodging what he called their “random pooping.”

FAFO: Wife Should Have Never Had Conjugal Visit
A four-time convicted murderer at a California prison was charged Friday with killing his wife during a November conjugal visit, the Amador County District Attorney’s Office told KCRA News.
Prosecutors said David Brinson strangled 62-year-old Stephanie Dowells during an overnight family visit in November 2024 at Mule Creek State Prison, according to the outlet. Brinson called staff just after 2 a.m.; Dowells was pronounced dead at 2:51 a.m., prison officials reportedly said.
“We have an innocent person coming to your jail or your prison. You have a duty to protect them. And they failed miserably. And now it’s time that they be held accountable,” Michael Oppenheimer, an attorney for Dowells’ family, told KCRA News.

I’ve done too much stuff that when in the middle of doing said stuff I thought, “I really don’t want to be here or doing this”. I don’t do that shit anymore. If it looks like a suck now, I bail early.
I also don’t let people run over me. It’s not that I was a dormat, I just didn’t understand that some people would use you and take you for granted. It never had occurred to me until it happened to my ass over and over again. I didn’t even know at first you could say no and not hurt someone’s feelings.
Well, no more. I draw the line. I’ve seen it upset people, only to find the people not being upset or even thinking of me shortly thereafter.

‘Both My Boobs Are Out’: California Mom Says Airline Attendant ‘Violated’ Her Mid-Flight
This is a story where the content doesn’t come close to matching the headline the way you think it would.
A California woman alleged a British Airways flight attendant lifted her nursing cover without permission and exposed her breasts while she breastfed her infant during a flight, according to a report.
Shayanne Wright, Costa Mesa city commissioner and business owner, said she requested her meal be delayed while she nursed her infant to sleep, Fox Business reported. Crew members allegedly refused. Wright claimed the flight attendant tapped her thigh repeatedly during meal service.
“I stuck my hand out to wave him away,” she alleged, saying she felt “violated.” “Then, without asking, he lifts the nursing cover up completely. It wakes her up. Both my boobs are out. And he doesn’t even apologize. He goes, ‘Do you want your meal?’”
The California mother claimed there were additional physical contact she deemed inappropriate such as leg touches and unsolicited attempts to buckle her seatbelt, the outlet reported. The woman said she characterized the alleged acts as sexual harassment to the airline.

A Truly Happy Pet Ending To A Tough Story
ORK COUNTY, Penn. – One stray pup is safe and sound this week after wandering around rural Pennsylvania alone and with her head trapped inside a plastic jar.
An approximately 1-year-old Shepherd Collie mix, the dog was first spotted early Monday morning by a volunteer with the Canine Rescue of Central PA (CRCPA). At that point, the dog already had the jar stuck on her head.
CRCPA officials believe the pup may have been abandoned by her previous owner. Left for a period of time to hunt and find food on her own, she found herself in a tricky situation.
“Our guess is that she was probably going through trash somewhere, and then went in there to get food or sniff around,” said CRCPA volunteer Janelle George. “And the way that the jar is set up, it got stuck around her collarbone area.”

George noted how the jar posed a significant risk for the dog, as it limited her ability to see and smell her surroundings while she was lost and trying to navigate the area by herself.
The jar also posed a suffocation risk, limiting the dog’s ability to breathe especially as she ran around an unfamiliar area alone and scared.
“It’s really amazing that she is still alive,” George said.
After the pup was spotted, CRCPA teamed up with Find Toby in PA, an organization that reunites lost pets, to find her.
RESCUE DOG MISSING 36 DAYS FOUND SWIMMING NEAR BRITISH ISLAND
The next day, the search and rescue team then joined forces with local rescues and drone operators to extend the reach of their operation, since the pup’s unique condition made her rescue even more urgent.
Around 3 a.m. Wednesday, thermal drone pilot Dallas Fuhrman located the pup in the middle of a cornfield. She was found appearing disoriented, exhausted and with her head still stuck in the jar, according to CRCPA.

She was rushed to Shores Veterinary Emergency Center, where medical personnel found her to be underweight, severely dehydrated and infested with ticks. She is now receiving treatment and is being cared for by a foster family, George said.

A Perfect Place To Swim
Recently in South Carolina, a group of sharks and a solo alligator were seen swimming together at a popular vacation destination, stunning people who had plans to swim in the waters themselves.
The bizarre scene took place around a Hilton Head dock as the large sharks were just swimming around, when all of a sudden, an alligator showed up and chose to hang out on the side to stay under the shade, per footage that was caught by vacationers.
“I’ve been visiting Hilton Head since I was 12 years old, and I’ve never seen anything like this,” said Gina Athans, one of the individuals who caught the wild moment on camera, while speaking with The Island Packet.

Just Another Reason I Hate Flying – Drunk Pilots
Drunk Pilots
Shocking new bodycam video photo shows a Southwest pilot being pulled off a flight by police moments before it was due to take off over fears he was blind drunk.
David Allsop, 52, was arrested for a DUI in January at Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport in Georgia, with footage of the incident emerging Thursday.
Allsop was due to captain Flight 3772 to Chicago, but was apprehended in his cockpit after TSA officers notified police that they suspected he was drunk.
It is unclear what raised their suspicions.
But one officer filmed confronting Allsop on a jet bridge said he reeked of booze, which Allsop tried to blame on a Rogues nicotine pouch.
Allsop was conducting pre-check flights, with passengers already on board, when police came on board, escorted him off the plane and asked him about his alleged recent alcohol consumption.
The pilot confirmed he drank ‘a few beers’ the night before, ‘like 10 hours ago at least’.
Pressed by a suspicious cop to define ‘a few beers,’ Allsop replied that he’d drunk ‘like, three’ Miller Light’ with his first officer.

TOTAL CHAOS AT SEA: Massive BRAWL Erupts on Carnival Cruise Ship Over ‘CHICKEN TENDERS’ (VIDEO)
It’s been said that if a whole cruise ship sank, no one of importance would ever do (excepting the Titanic which had everyone against creating the Fed on board).
To me, it is a discount vacation for losers. In a way, it’s like fishing on a party boat. They blow the horn, lines out. The next horn, lines in. They let the cruisers go only as far as they can go when in port for a couple of hours to get their T-shirt or shell.
It seems one set of people seems to frequently ruin it for others. It’s a pattern.
A Carnival cruise ship turned into a floating fight club after a late-night brawl erupted among passengers reportedly over ‘chicken tenders.’
According to the New York Post, the melee erupted in the ship’s dining area around 2 a.m. Monday, the final day of its voyage back to Miami, when a dispute spiraled out of control and involved about two dozen passengers.
Video footage, which has since gone viral, shows a chaotic scene of several young cruisers throwing wild punches, knocking each other to the ground.
The confusion mirrors eyewitness accounts of shoes, phones, and personal items flying as the violence intensified.
Security eventually tried to intervene, but one guard could be seen running away and reaching for his radio instead of jumping into the fray.

AI Companions Are Harming Your Children
Right now, something in your home may be talking to your child about sex, self-harm, and suicide. That something isn’t a person—it’s an artificial intelligence companion chatbot.
These AI chatbots can be indistinguishable from online human relationships. They retain past conversations, initiate personalized messages, share photos, and even make voice calls. They are designed to forge deep emotional bonds—and they’re extraordinarily good at it.
Researchers are sounding the alarm on these bots, warning that they don’t ease loneliness, they worsen it. By replacing genuine, embodied human relationships with hollow, disembodied artificial ones, they distort a child’s understanding of intimacy, empathy, and trust.

What do you enjoy most about writing?
What I like best about writing is it forces me to slow down and makes me think about what I’m saying. Grammatically, I think my writing is a disaster sometimes, but many times I’ve been able to deal with a situation in my head through unspoken words only to me. When the time came for the conflict or resolution, I was practiced and ready.

Learn To Code Turns Out To Be Bad Advice, Thanks Dem’s
For about a decade, big tech firms, the government, and corporate media outlets pushed endless streams of propaganda at young people to “learn to code,” luring them with promises of six-figure salaries and job security.
That hype fueled a boom in computer science majors, with the number of undergraduates more than doubling since 2014. But the coding-boom narrative has since collapsed, and a growing number of computer science graduates are finding few opportunities – some even ending up in fast-food jobs at chains like Chipotle.
“Learn to code” actually turned out to be very terrible advice.
Take the corporate media news matrix: According to Bloomberg data, the story count of “learn to code” exploded between 2015 and early 2021. Post 2021, those stories have dramatically subsided as reality sets in, and layoffs at major tech companies like Amazon and Microsoft, combined with the rapid adoption of AI coding tools, have left many graduates unable to land jobs, according to The New York Times.
Data via Bloomberg…
“The rhetoric was, if you just learned to code, work hard, and get a computer science degree, you can get six figures for your starting salary,” Manasi Mishra, now 21, who was quoted by the NYT.
Mishra said in a viral TikTok video this summer that “I just graduated with a computer science degree, and the only company that has called me for an interview is Chipotle.”
The NYT pointed out that unemployment among computer science and engineering grads has risen as high as 7.5%, which is more than double that of art history or biology majors.

Japan Marks 80th Anniversary of WWII Surrender as Concern Grows about Fading Memory
Japan is paying tribute to more than 3 million war dead as the country marks its surrender 80 years ago, ending World War II, as concern grows about the rapidly fading memories of the tragedy of war and the bitter lessons from the era of Japanese militarism.
In a national ceremony Friday at Tokyo’s Budokan hall, about 4,500 officials and bereaved families and their descendants from around the country will observe a moment of silence at noon, the time when the then-emperor’s surrender speech began on Aug. 15, 1945.
Just a block away at Yasukuni Shrine, seen by Asian neighbors as a symbol of militarism, dozens of Japanese politicians and their supporters came to pray.
Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba stayed away from Yasukuni and sent a religious ornament as a personal gesture instead of praying at the controversial shrine.
But Shinjiro Koizumi, the agriculture minister considered as a top candidate to replace the beleaguered prime minister, prayed at the shrine. Koizumi, the son of popular former Prime Minitser Junichiro Koizumi whose Yasukuni visit as a serving leader in 2001 outraged China, is a regular at the shrine.

You don’t mess around in prison like this whining. You get tough, mean, sharp and wary. Stay the hell out of everyone’s way and be like a piece of furniture, unnoticed. Once you get noticed, the shit starts.
The inmates making quadruple murderer Bryan Kohberger’s time in prison a living hell knew he was coming to the high-security Idaho lockup and planned how they could carry out a campaign of harassment against him, according to a report.
Kohberger was transferred from jail to the only high-security prison in the state after he received four life sentences last month for the gruesome slayings of four University of Idaho students in 2022.
And the prisoners at Idaho Maximum Security Institution in Kuna “were aware he was coming,” former homicide detective Chris McDonough told NewsNation Tuesday.
“The inmates were apparently waiting for him,” said McDonough, who now works for the Cold Case Foundation. “And when he got there, they are now making his life absolutely miserable.”

Mini-Golf Russian Roulette
Talk about getting more than you bargained for …
When it comes to mini-golf, putt-putt, whatever you want to call it, it’s supposed to be nothing but pure fun. Hell, it’s great to do while on vacation, I’ve done it countless times. But for one California mother, a round ended up becoming a thoroughbred nightmare.
From Venice, Adela Magana and her family went to Golf N’ Stuff mini-golf course and amusement park to celebrate the 13th birthday of her son on Aug. 6. She was on a bench sitting down watching her kids play, and then BOOM, a palm tree reportedly fell down and crashed on her.
Along with two other individuals who were playing mini-golf that night, the father of the family, Amando, and his 22-year-old son, Junior, ran over to get the 40-foot tree off her. However, the damage was already done, and it was bad. Per the Ventura County Star, Adela’s right arm was lost following Ventura County Medical Center doctors amputating it right under the shoulder one day after the tree crushed it.

Kind Of Hard To Ignore That Politically
CNN ADMITS America Thinks Democrat Party Is ‘Total & Complete Garbage’
Democrats may have just realized that having “orange man bad” as their sole political message for the past 10 years was a really bad idea. In a surprisingly blunt segment on CNN News Central, the show’s hosts acknowledged what many Americans have long suspected: the Democratic Party was “a complete and utter mess” as they looked toward the 2028 presidential election. With no frontrunner, deep internal disarray, and record-low favorability ratings; you knew things were bad when even CNN sounded the alarm.
The analysis was sparked by former Vice President Kamala Harris’s return to the national stage to promote her book on her campaign for president in 2024. While co-anchor Kate Bolduan made sure to note that Harris had not ruled out a future presidential run, CNN’s senior data reporter Harry Enten wasted no time in downplaying her chances. “The chance that Kamala Harris is going to be the 2028 Democratic nominee. They don’t look too good right now, to be perfectly honest with you,” he asserted.

Next, Bill Gates is up to no good again
Finally, No one really eats it it looks like, as Lewis Hamilton just lost his ass on fake food.
Neat Burger, a restaurant chain co-founded by seven-time champion Lewis Hamilton, has entered liquidation.
The business was launched six years ago with a plant-based menu, with the chain also backed by Hollywood superstar Leonardo DiCaprio.
A number of restaurants were opened in London, while doors were also opened in Milan and New York.
However, it has been struggling financially over the last handful of years, with reported losses from 2022 being in the £7.9 million range – up from £3.2 million from the year before.
In 2023, it announced half of its UK restaurants would close, before the New York facility shut its doors for the final time last summer.
In a further blow, the company cited financial and operational challenges behind its decision to close the remaining restaurants earlier this year.
It has now emerged that Neat Burger has appointed FRP Advisory as its liquidator on July 22.

These Are America’s 25 Largest Private Landowners
The U.S. is known for its massive public national parks, but a handful of families and entrepreneurs also own tracts of land that would dwarf some states.
This infographic, via Visual Capitalist’s Niccolo Conte, ranks America’s 25 largest private landowners in 2025 and shows just how concentrated ownership has become.
The data for this visualization comes from The Land Report, which annually tracks the nation’s biggest deed holders. Its 2025 investigations reveals a timber-heavy top tier, diversified ranching empires in the middle, and a sprinkling of tech titans and investors rounding out the list.
Timber Kings Still Rule the Landowner List
Red Emmerson and his family control 2.44 million acres across California, Oregon, and Washington, making them America’s largest private landowners in 2025.
For reference, this is more than 3x Rhode Island’s land area.
Three of the top five landowners—Emmerson, Malone, and the Reed family—built (or expanded) their holdings in commercial forestry.
Timber acres offer steady cash flow, long-term capital appreciation, and valuable carbon-offset potential, which helps explain why Wall Street has shown renewed interest in forests.
These vast, contiguous tracts also give owners leverage in biodiversity markets and provide a hedge against inflation, making timberland an attractive multigenerational asset.

Most Americans Reject Fall COVID Shot, Don’t Trust CDC Or FDA On Vaccine Safety
Hey, I’m shocked that anyone would get jabbed at this point. My only question is who are the 21% that are the dumbasses who are getting it again.
In a sweeping signal that Americans are waking up to the dangers of coerced medicine and captured regulation, a new KFF (formerly known as the Kaiser Family Foundation) poll reveals that the majority of Americans do not intend to get the COVID-19 vaccine this fall, and less than half trust the CDC or FDA to ensure vaccine safety.
The nationwide erosion of confidence in federal health agencies and their pharmaceutical partnerships is welcomed by those who have long called for accountability, transparency, and the restoration of informed consent in American medicine.
Most Say ‘No’ to COVID Vaccine
According to the KFF Health Tracking Poll on Health Information and Trust, conducted July 8–14, 2025:
- 59% of U.S. adults say they will either “definitely not” or “probably not” receive a COVID-19 vaccine this fall.
- Only 21% say they will “definitely get” the shot.
- Republicans are the least likely to receive the vaccine, with 59% stating they will “definitely not” take it.
- Among White adults, 42% say they will “definitely not” get the shot.
These findings follow a growing body of evidence discrediting the effectiveness and safety of the COVID-19 vaccines.

CDC insists people get MORE COVID shots, despite long list of dangerous side effects
This is posted at the same time as the post about Americans refusing the jab because they know it’s dangerous and it doesn’t work. I did it on purpose so read both.
Just so you know that the CDC is a bunch of CSMF who don’t have your health in their best interest. Here’s your tip of the day, keep the government out of your medical life as much as possible.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is insisting people take MORE COVID shots this year, despite a long list of serious side effects that include cardiac arrest – or death.
The shots were introduced during the pandemic several years ago that circled the globe and killed millions.
They all were introduced under an “experimental” label as manufacturers wanted to start selling them before the ordinary testing procedures were done.
The medical establishment, including such high-profile personalities like Anthony Fauci, the adviser to Joe Biden on COVID who once insisted that arguing with him was arguing with “the science,” publicly rejected existing treatments that could, and did, help some people, ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine, because for the experimental products to be used there was a requirement that other treatments not be available.
Now comes this year’s advisory in which the CDC repeatedly demands people get the shots, without a single word about the potentially lethal side effects.
There’s more here if you care. I just do the opposite of what they recommend now and feel much safer.

Baby Born from 30-Year-Old Frozen Embryo Shocks World
It shoots down the abortionist (liberal) argument that a pre-born baby is just a bunch of cells. It proves life begins at conception, or this couldn’t be true.
On July 26, 2025, Thaddeus Daniel Pierce was born in Ohio from an embryo frozen for over 30 years, marking a record for the longest-frozen embryo leading to a live birth, as reported by MIT Technology Review.
Lindsey and Tim Pierce adopted the embryo through Nightlight Christian Adoptions’ Snowflakes program. The embryo, created in 1994, originated from biological mother Linda Archerd via IVF.
In the early 1990s, Archerd and her then-husband faced infertility for six years before turning to IVF, a then-emerging technology, according to the BBC.
They produced four embryos, with one implanted to become Archerd’s now-30-year-old daughter, who has a 10-year-old child. The remaining three were cryopreserved, with Archerd paying annual storage fees of about $1,000.
After her marriage ended and she reached menopause, Archerd, now 62, chose not to discard the embryos or donate them for research.
As a Christian, she opted for embryo adoption to have input on the adoptive parents. She specified preferences for a married, Caucasian, Christian couple in the US.
Lindsey Pierce, 35, and Tim Pierce, 34, had tried for seven years to conceive before exploring embryo adoption. They registered with the Snowflakes program, open to various embryo criteria.

[Given Murphy’s law, …] One should not attribute to evil design any unfortunate result which can be attributed to error. A mistake (or series of mistakes) is the simpler and more likely explanation.
Conspiracy Corollary to Uffelman’s Razor:
Nothing should be attributed to conspiracy that can be explained by error or a succession of errors.- Example 1: The alleged conspiracy to “fake” the Apollo moon landing.
Such an undertaking would be so likely to result in multiple glitches that it would be nearly impossible to pull off. Thus, conspiracy is an unlikely explanation of events. Accordingly, the “evidence” of the “faked” landing is more likely a result of the errors of those interpreting the evidence than of the evil design of the alleged conspirators. - Example 2: The Warren Report.
Any open questions in the Warren Report are more likely the result of the errors of the Warren commission, or the errors of those interpreting the Warren Report, than the result of a conspiracy to cover up the true facts.
copyright 1995, 2002. David G. Uffelman
- Example 1: The alleged conspiracy to “fake” the Apollo moon landing.

Ranked: 25 Richest Countries in the World, by Three Metrics

Key Takeaways
- Luxembourg’s immense GDP per capita ($141K) masks the fact that much of it is generated by non-residents who commute in to work.
- Qatar’s oil windfall lifts GDP per capita ($72K) but that hasn’t translated into broader wealth.
- English-speaking countries translate middling GDP per capita into high median wealth through property ownership and strong pension systems.
- Generating national wealth and distributing it to people are distinctly different economic challenges.
Previously, when we’ve covered 25 richest countries, we did so by GDP per capita alone. As a result, tiny states and global city-states tended to dominate the top of the rankings.
Introducing per capita income and median wealth per adult paints a more nuanced picture. It shows that where money is produced is not always where it ultimately accumulates.
The data for this visualization comes from the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, and the UBS Global Wealth Report 2024.
It compares each country’s 2025 GDP per capita, 2024 GNI per capita, and median adult wealth in 2024 to reveal three very different “rich lists.”

As If Covid Weren’t Enough – Researchers quietly planned a test to dim sunlight. They wanted to ‘avoid scaring’ the public.
Oh for Pete’s sake, can’t you just leave us alone? These people couldn’t pour water out of a boot if there were instructions on the sole.
A team of researchers in California drew notoriety last year with an aborted experiment on a retired aircraft carrier that sought to test a machine for creating clouds.
But behind the scenes, they were planning a much larger and potentially riskier study of salt-water-spraying equipment that could eventually be used to dim the sun’s rays — a multimillion-dollar project aimed at producing clouds over a stretch of ocean larger than Puerto Rico.
The details outlined in funding requests, emails, texts and other records obtained by POLITICO’s E&E News raise new questions about a secretive billionaire-backed initiative that oversaw last year’s brief solar geoengineering experiment on the San Francisco Bay.
They also offer a rare glimpse into the vast scope of research aimed at finding ways to counter the Earth’s warming, work that has often occurred outside public view. Such research is drawing increased interest at a time when efforts to address the root cause of climate change — burning fossil fuels — are facing setbacks in the U.S. and Europe. But the notion of human tinkering with the weather and climate has drawn a political backlash and generated conspiracy theories, adding to the challenges of mounting even small-scale tests.

Friday Dick Humor
The Free Ride Is Over, Student Loan Interest Resumes August 1st
FWIW, Covid was a tool by DC, not an emergency.
Starting Friday, federal student loans under the SAVE (“Saving on a Valuable Education”) repayment plan will begin accruing interest again. This affects approximately 7.7 million to 8 million borrowers, said federal stats — interest had been paused during ongoing legal action.
Advocacy group estimates suggest this will cost the typical borrower around $3,500 per year in interest, which breaks down to about $300 extra per month on average, according to the Education Department.
Courts invalidated key provisions of the SAVE program, including the zero‑interest feature. A court injunction requires loan servicers to begin charging interest again starting Friday.
The U.S. federal government suspended interest on student loans—and paused payments and collections—primarily due to the COVID‑19 emergency.

More WNBA F Ups – ‘Dumb As F*ck’: Sophie Cunningham Blasts Haters Who Think Caitlin Clark Isn’t Face Of WNBA
Indiana Fever phenom Caitlin Clark is clearly the face of the WNBA, there’s no doubt about that. But you know how a lot of people are today, they’ll just hate and lie like it’s nothing. But Clark’s teammate and unofficial bodyguard Sophie Cunningham, she isn’t playing that, taking to her “Show Me Something” podcast to clap back at haters who say Clark isn’t the face of the league.
It was announced Wednesday that Cunningham inked a contract with Colin’ Cowherd’s “The Volume” podcast company to launch her own, which was followed by her first episode later on in the day. And she got things off to an absolute bang!
of course she is the face of the league. It’s just that she’s white and straight. That doesn’t work for the WNBA

FAFO About Alligators In Florida
Another idiot who can’t leave nature alone.
Luckily for us, the woman who did exactly that got dished with some instant karma, and considering how she only lost a flip flop, I would just count my losses and move on if I was her. To make this video even better, it’s narrated by a woman from the United Kingdom, so the accent adds a little bit of classiness to go along with wild Florida behavior.
Per a report from Fox 35 Orlando, footage has been circulating after Sarah Louise Martin posted it on her TikTok. She was on vacation from the U.K. in an alligator hotspot in Kissimmee, Florida, which is right outside of Orlando.
The video starts with the woman showing a pond with a group of deer hanging out beside it, but it wasn’t just the deer, an alligator also happened to be in attendance.
For the most part, the deer didn’t mind the gator doing his thing, despite the reptile making its way over to them. This ended up provoking some other lady to take action to get rid of the alligator and be a savior to the deer. But the problem was, like I said, she was interfering with nature and a hungry gator, which is completely unnecessary.
She attempted to get the gator to go away by tossing not one, but two flip-flops at it, but the gator clearly wasn’t a fan. So what does it decide to do?
By snatching one of her flip-flops and running into the lake with it — absolutely glorious!
I grew up there. We learned not to fuck with the gators or the snakes. They are playing a home game.

Visualized: Every State’s Most Common Job in 1998 vs. 2024
Key Takeaways
- Retail salesperson (39 states) and cashiers (7) were the most common job categories by state back in 1998.
- In 2024, it’s fast food worker (15 states) and retail salesperson (11).
- Home health aides are a new popular job category, the most common in 10 states.
1998 was a long time ago.
The first Matrix movie hadn’t yet released, the internet was still the purview of the Western world, and e-commerce giant Amazon was only five years old.
For obvious reasons, the U.S. labor market back then was different—but exactly how different?
This graphic compares the most common jobs in each U.S. state between 1998 to 2024, measured by the number of people employed in each category. Data for this visualization comes from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
