She’s A Girl, If She Can’t Get Laid, It’s Her Fault

If a girl went into the forrest, and said I want some dick tonight, guys from 1000’s of miles away would be there shortly. What’s wrong with this girl? Most of the time, girls decide when the pounding is going to go down because they get offered some dick about 100 times a day. Just look at the high school teachers. They pick out the one and start wailing away.

A Harris County constable deputy is facing scrutiny after a TikTok post went viral suggesting she planned to issue tickets indiscriminately because of a lack of intimacy in her personal life, as reported by The New York Post.

The post, made by Harris County Precinct 5 Deputy Jennifer Escalera, has sparked public backlash and prompted an internal affairs investigation.

The video, which has since been deleted, showed Deputy Escalera in uniform writing on a notepad.

The caption over the clip read, “Didn’t get cracked last night so everyone is getting a ticket,” suggesting that her ticketing decisions might be influenced by her personal frustrations. Although parts of her uniform were blurred, Escalera’s name tag remained visible in the footage.

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.

See, It’s Sh*t Like This That Pisses Me Off – Insider confirms scheme under Obama to manipulate intelligence to hurt Trump – Part II

John Brennan and Barack Obama

An insider in America’s intelligence community who now has turned whistleblower says he refused to concur in the manipulated intelligence assessment created under Barack Obama that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to help candidate Donald Trump, and immediately was excluded from further discussions.

Further, his concerns about the falsehoods being pushed by that agenda were ignored, he said.

A report in the Washington Times cites the whistleblower, unidentified, in explaining he was pressured by his Obama administration superiors to go along with the staged arguments.

Evidence being found in newly declassified documents suggests that Hillary Clinton fabricated the Russiagate scandal for Trump because of concerns voters would remember her scandalous behavior when she put national secrets on an unsecured computer server she set up.

The documents also suggested the campaign to fabricate claims of links between Trump’s campaign and Russia was aided by Democrat officials from Obama down.

More information has been promised, and multiple Obama-era officials already have been referred to the Department of Justice for investigation and possible charges.

The Examiner reported the senior U.S. intel official confirmed he was pressured to endorse the false conclusions created under the anti-Trump scheme, and then he was cut out of discussions.

Dildo On The Court, WNBA Laughingstock Again

A WNBA game between the Atlanta Dream and the Golden State Valkyries was interrupted on Tuesday night after a bizarre object was thrown on to the floor late in the fourth quarter.

The Valkyries had rebounded a miss with about one minute left in the game when the object flew from the stands and down onto the court. The object bounced a few times away from the ballhandler and then toward the near sideline.

Climate Change Narrative Getting Killed By Facts (and cooler weather) – There Never Was A Crisis

Here’s what the ECMWF is forecasting for Europe the next 7 days:

Source: ECMWF via Snowfan. 

Earlier this year, the usual suspects were putting out horror scenarios of a summer of heat and drought across Europe in 2025. The most extreme model runs, with temperatures soaring to 45°C, were presented as serious forecasts and as being worrying evidence of runaway climate change.

But now the opposite has occurred and the fear-mongers are now either quiet or simply distorting the facts.

Especially in Central Europe, like across Germany, the weather has turned cool and rainy.

Germany’s Das Wetter.com here recently has since warned of 30 com of snowfall in the Alps – in July!:

Anyone who thought the last few weeks had been cool and changeable should dress warmly. Because from Monday, temperatures across Germany will continue to plummet. This is due to a wave of cold Arctic air rushing in from the far north. Highs of under 20 degrees will then be the reality in many places – in July!”

Heavy snow in the Alps in July

In his article, meteorologist Johannes Habermehl then adds that the snow line in the Alps will be dropping “to just 2500 meters – in some places even lower”, with some forecasting “up to 30 centimetres of fresh snow” at higher altitudes.

And that’s during peak summer!

Global temps plummet

Climate Armageddon Canceled

Lowest Six-Month Human Death Toll From Bad Weather Since Records Began

Something rather odd is happening to the weather. Millions, nay billions, are on the move fleeing droughts, floods, wildfires, runaway temperatures, rising sea levels (see any mainstream media page climate page to fill in rest of sentence). Armageddon will only be put on pause when hard-Left elites take control of the climate and corral us all into their fantasy world of Net Zero. But hold on a minute – news just in. The first half of 2025 has seen the smallest number of deaths related to extreme weather since records began. And more weird weather news – despite boiling seas, all four northern hemisphere ocean basins in the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific are running below average on accumulated cyclone energy. The North Atlantic has seen very little activity with the ACE energy measurement from January 1st to July 21st running at only 41% of the 1991-2020 average.

The cyclone news is natural variation of course, but don’t let on to climate fanatics. The news on deaths from extreme weather is not. It is a long-term trend that has seen weather fatalities plunge by over 99% during the last 100 years. As hydrocarbon use pulls billions out of grinding poverty, so fortunate humans can use the extra wealth to protect themselves against all that Nature throws at life on Earth.

So for people I had to work with like Tom Raftery, Tim O’Reilly and James Governor, the gig is up and so are the lies, but go on believing your religion.

And this gem:

By the numbers the scam is almost comical: 384 individual charging ports, $7.5 billion burned, $19.5 million per plug. That’s enough to buy every Tesla owner in America a home charger—twice—yet all taxpayers got was a handful of glorified parking spots.

WHO POCKETED THE CASH? • EVgo, ChargePoint, and Electrify America—all heavy Democratic donors—walked away with the biggest CFI grants. • The Greenlining Institute, NAACP Climate Initiative, and West Harlem Environmental Action were hired as “equity consultants” at $1,200 an hour to ensure 40 % of funds flowed to “underserved communities” per Biden’s 2021 “Justice40” diktat. • BlueGreen Alliance (a coalition of the Sierra Club and the United Steelworkers) lobbied for set-asides that require every single station to use union-only labor—driving costs up another 30 %. • BlackRock’s Climate Finance Partnership skimmed management fees on green bonds floated to finance the program.

Looking Like Obama Is A Deep Stater

Government conspiracies break down into two basic types, those of concealment and those of execution. The former are frighteningly common—Watergate, TWA 800, Benghazi. The latter are rare and potentially more destructive than even the “hide the decline” deep-sixing of Joe Biden’s senility.

“Russiagate,” for lack of a better term, looms as the most subversive conspiracy of execution in American history. Thanks to Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard, we have proof that it was not mere misjudgment.

On Friday, Gabbard lowered the boom. In her own words, “After President Trump won the 2016 election against Hillary Clinton, President Obama and his national security cabinet members manufactured and politicized intelligence to lay the groundwork for what was essentially a years-long coup against President Trump.” Her bullet points go straight to the heart of the treason.

  • In the months leading up to the November 2016 election, the Intelligence Community (IC) consistently assessed that Russia is “probably not trying … to influence the election by using cyber means.”
  • On December 7, 2016, after the election, talking points were prepared for DNI James Clapper stating, “Foreign advaries did not use cyberattacks on election infrastructure to alter the US Presidential election outcome.”
  • On December 9, 2016, President Obama’s White House gathered top National Security Council Principals for a meeting that included James Clapper, John Brennan, Susan Rice, John Kerry, Loretta Lynch, Andrew McCabe and others, to discuss Russia.
  • After the meeting, DNI Clapper’s Executive Assistant sent an email to IC [intelligence community] leaders tasking them with creating a new IC assessment “per the President’s request” that details the “tools Moscow used and actions it took to influence the 2016 election.” It went on to say, “ODNI will lead this effort with participation from CIA, FBI, NSA, and DHS.”
  • Obama officials leaked false statements to media outlets, including The Washington Post, claiming, “Russia has attempted through cyber means to interfere in, if not actively influence, the outcome of an election.”
  • On January 6, 2017, a new Intelligence Community Assessment was released that directly contradicted the IC assessments that were made throughout the previous six months.

It goes on here and there are plenty of people covering it, it just needs to get out to save the country

That Bling Will Kill You

A man was pulled into an MRI machine in New York after he walked into the room wearing a large chain necklace, police said.

The man, 61, had entered an MRI room while a scan was underway Wednesday afternoon at Nassau Open MRI. The machine’s strong magnetic force drew him in by his metallic necklace, according to the Nassau County Police Department.

Police said the incident “resulted in a medical episode” that left the man hospitalized in critical condition. Authorities did not release his name and did not have an update on the man’s condition on Friday.

A person who answered the phone at Nassau Open MRI on Long Island declined to comment Friday.

MRI machines “employ a strong magnetic field” that “exerts very powerful forces on objects of iron, some steels, and other magnetizable objects,” according to the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering, which says the units are “strong enough to fling a wheelchair across the room.”

Survey Finds College Grads Are Unpopular With Hiring Managers

Who’s surprised here. They don’t want to work hard, they act like children and the whole college protest thing has been getting tired since Viet Nam.

Is this really so surprising? Would you hire a recent grad from Columbia or Harvard?

The College Fix reports:

‘Unprepared and entitled’: College grads unpopular with hiring managers, survey finds

A recent survey from Intelligent found that “1 in 4 hiring managers say recent grads are unprepared for the workforce” and “1 in 8 managers [are] planning to avoid hiring them in 2025.”

The main reasons for this are lack of preparation, a so-so work ethic, and a sense of entitlement among the grads, according to the survey.

“24% of hiring managers believe recent college graduates are unprepared for the workforce, while 33% cite a lack of work ethic, and 29% view them as entitled,” the survey found.

“Additionally, 27% feel recent graduates are easily offended, and 25% say they don’t respond well to feedback.”

The survey results appear to mirror a trend found in recent headlines. A “2025 college graduate job market” search conducted by The College Fix produced the following headlines:

“Class of 2025 College Grads Face Uncertain Job Market”

“Job Market is Getting Tougher for College Graduates”

“New Grads Struggling to Find Work in Job Market

“No Hire, No Fire: The Worst Market for Grads in Years”

An AI Teen Prank – AI-powered restaurant app rates hotness of customers

They could be using AI to cure cancer or have the best meal and wine combination. But no. Like Face Smash, the precursor to Facebook rates the hotness of customers.

I’ll give you this, there are times when waiting tables that can be boring. I do recall that the sun was directly into the front door for about 15 minutes and if a girl in a skirt came in, we got the x-ray view..

One day, one of the hottest girls I’d seen in a white skirt stepped through the door with the sun blazing behind her. That’s right, she was going commando. I, and 4 other waiters were paralyzed for about 4 minutes until they got seated. It was Basic Instinct quality stuff.

Anyway…….

A new AI-powered website called LooksMapping is the latest trend hitting the restaurant industry, ranking food and beverage establishments by the “hotness” of their customers.

The website, catering to 9,800 restaurants in New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, allows its visitors to select where to dine based on an AI algorithm that evaluates the attractiveness of diners on a scale of 1 to 10, The New York Times reported.

Riley Walz, a 22-year-old programmer based in San Francisco, founded LooksMapping with the intention of using Google review data to make sarcastic observations about the restaurant industry. Walz used an AI model to collect 2.8 million Google evaluations, identifying 587,000 profile photos with distinctive traits among 1.5 million unique accounts. He next taught the model to determine whether the individuals were male or female, old or young, and hot or not.

“The website just puts reductive numbers on the superficial calculations we make every day,” the website reads. “A mirror held up to our collective vanity.”

Solar Farms Paid To Switch Off – Money Down The Toilet On A Boondoggle

British solar farms have been paid to switch off for the first time as sunny days prompt a surge of clean power that could overwhelm the grid.

The National Energy System Operator (Neso), which manages the UK’s power grids and is overseen by Ed Miliband, the Energy Secretary, has issued switch-off orders to solar facilities this year, new research reveals.

Operators are paid to switch off when these orders are issued, with the extra cost added to consumer and business energy bills.

The solar operators claiming compensation are understood to include some of the UK’s biggest energy suppliers, such as EDF Renewables and Octopus Energy.

Such “constraint payments” are already common with wind farms because so many have been built in areas such as northern Scotland or offshore, areas without grid capacity to carry the power they generate.

So far this year, constraint payments have cost consumers £650m, according to the Wasted Wind website. The cost is added to energy bills.

Overall “balancing payments” could hit £8bn a year by 2030 without massive grid upgrades, according to Neso estimates. Such upgrades would also be extremely costly, with consumers liable.

In this graphic, Visual Capitalist’s Marcus Lu visualized 22 major tech companies by revenue per employee in 2024, highlighting the efficiency of business models that monetize user-generated content.

The data for this visualization comes from Multiples.

Revenue per Employee Leaders

OnlyFans, Valve, and YouTube are the top three leaders in this dataset. All three are digital platforms that have successfully scaled up with a relatively small workforce.

OnlyFans has 51-200 employees according to LinkedIn, while Valve operates Steam, the world’s largest PC gaming platform, with a workforce of just 350 people. YouTube has the largest headcount of the three, with 7,173 employees as of January 2024.

By leveraging user-generated content (OnlyFans and YouTube) or digital distribution strategies (Valve), these companies differ from traditional companies that rely on labor-intensive operations.

FJB – July 4th Gas Prices Lowest In 4 Years

Nearly 72 million people are expected to travel during the Fourth of July holiday, likely leading to crowded highway traffic and congested airports across the United States. However, holiday travelers should also see lower gas prices and airfares as they go to their Independence Day destinations, experts say.

Nationally, AAA Travel, the travel‐services arm of the American Automobile Association, forecasts that 72.2 million people will travel at least 50 miles from home during the Independence Day holiday period from June 28 to July 6. This year’s domestic travel projection is 1.7 million more travelers than last year and 7 million more than in 2019.

“Summertime is one of the busiest travel seasons of the year, and July 4th is one of the most popular times to get away,” Stacey Barber, vice president of AAA Travel, said.

“Following Memorial Day’s record forecast, AAA is seeing strong demand for road trips and air travel over Independence Day week. With the holiday falling on a Friday, travelers have the option of making it a long weekend or taking the entire week to make memories with family and friends.”

AAA’s annual Independence Day forecast now includes two weekends instead of one, better reflecting the flow of holiday travelers, officials said. However, the U.S. Transportation Security Administration’s travel projections for the airline industry run from July 1 through July 7, with the highest passenger volume—about 2.9 million—expected on July 6.

According to Transportation Security Administration (TSA) officials, airports across the United States expect the highest passenger numbers ever for the nation’s 249th birthday. TSA staff at airports nationwide said they are prepared to screen more than 18.5 million travelers at the country’s security checkpoints.

Already on June 22, the TSA reported that it screened nearly 3.1 million travelers, the busiest single day number in the agency’s history, and more than 40 days after REAL ID enforcement came into full force at airport checkpoints nationwide on May 7.

Someone Forgot To Pay Off The Construction Mob In NYC

New York streets seem to be buckling under the intense heat smothering the city with dramatic photos showing a bus broken through a Long Island parking garage — and a firetruck sinking into a Manhattan street as record-setting tempts broil the Big Apple.

The first incident happened in North New Hyde Park Tuesday afternoon — where temps topped around 99 degrees Fahrenheit — as a bus turned onto the exposed top level of a parking garage, but then plunged through the roadway as the ground opened beneath it.

“With everything going on I thought Iran was here,” said garage attendant Ricky Cody, who heard a loud bang as the bus’ rear end sank into the broken blacktop.

A large bus has fallen into a hole in the asphalt.

The bus was left lodged in the parking lot with its front end jutting up into the air, dramatic photos show, but no passengers were on board during the accident and the driver was able to exit safely.

New Peer-Reviewed Study Suggests COVID Vaccines Reduce Fertility

What was once dismissed as a “conspiracy theory” now has hard data behind it.

A new peer-reviewed study out of the Czech Republic has uncovered a disturbing trend: in 2022, women vaccinated against COVID-19 had 33% FEWER successful conceptions per 1,000 women compared to those who were unvaccinated.

A “successful conception” means a pregnancy that led to a live birth nine months later.

The study wasn’t small. It analyzed data from 1.3 million women aged 18 to 39.

Here’s what the numbers reveal, and what it could mean for humanity.

By 2022, a stark difference was clear.

The vaccinated cohort averaged around 4 successful conceptions per 1,000 women per month.

That’s a staggering 33% LESS than the 6 per 1,000 seen in the unvaccinated group.

This means that for every 2 vaccinated women who successfully conceived and delivered a baby, 3 unvaccinated women did the same.

In 2022, unvaccinated women were 1.5 times MORE likely to have a successful conception.

Again, that’s a conception that led to a live birth nine months later.

Beer Pong, Back In The Roman Times

Israeli archaeologists recently uncovered an ancient sarcophagus depicting a scene familiar to many today: a drinking game.

The Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) announced the discovery in a Facebook post on June 9. 

The Roman sarcophagus, or coffin, was found at an archaeological site within the ancient capital city of Caesarea. The discovery is the first of its kind in Israel.

The marble sarcophagus illustrates a drinking scene between Dionysus, the god of wine, and Hercules. 

Pictures from the site show archaeologists beaming next to the discovery, which the IAA described as “spectacular.”

Hercules depicted in sarcophagus

“In the center we see Dionysus, the god of wine, and around him a lively retinue of a host of mythological characters such as Maenads (female followers of Dionysus), satyrs, Hermes, Pan, lions and tigers,” the IAA’s statement read.

Archaeologists were unsure of what the entire scene depicted until the sarcophagus was handed over to the IAA’s conservation team — who assembled the fragments.

“Thanks to the restoration, the scenes have been fully revealed,” the IAA said.

IAA archaeologists likened the discovery to “a scene out of a movie.”

(France) More Footage Emerges of African-Involved Brawls at 2025 Music Festival

Tensions are rising in France after new video footage surfaced showing violent brawls during the 2025 Music Festival, involving predominantly African-origin youth. The clips, which went viral on social media, captured scenes of chaos in several locations where the event was held. The footage has reignited public outcry and renewed scrutiny over France’s immigration and public safety policies.

Eyewitnesses and local media reported that the altercations involved large groups, some armed with blunt objects and knives. Families attending the festival for its cultural spirit were seen fleeing in fear. Some videos show police attempting to intervene, while others suggest a lack of immediate response from law enforcement.

France—the cradle of European culture—can no longer afford to be held hostage by mismanaged migration and political correctness that turns a blind eye to the consequences. The safety of French citizens and the preservation of national identity must be top priorities once again.

Naval Academy Certifies It Is Permanently Ceasing Using Race in Admissions

Maybe we can get back to a normal Military that actually puts the fear into the hearts of the enemy now

If you have any interest in the U.S. military you know we have been following the Naval Academy affirmative action trial and resulting appeal very closely.

It all started after the stunning victory against race-based admissions in Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard, which we covered extensively:  Supreme Court: Harvard and UNC Affirmative Action “invalidated under the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment”.

The glaring loophole in that case was that the Court allowed race-based admissions at military service academies to continue. From Footnote 4 of the Court’s opinion:

The United States as amicus curiae contends that race-based admissions programs further compelling interests at our Nation’s military academies. No military academy is a party to these cases, however, and none of the courts below addressed the propriety of race-based admissions systems in that context. This opinion also does not address the issue, in light of the potentially distinct interests that military academies may present.

So Students for Fair Admissions was forced to sue the U.S. Naval Academy, and West Point, which it promptly did.

Due to scheduling issues, the Naval Academy case was ready for a bench (non-jury) trial first, and after eight full days of testimony in the case, and more than two months of deliberation and opinion-writing by the Court, the federal District (trial-level) Court in Maryland ruled, in December 2024, that the Naval Academy could continue to consider race in admissions:

Stephen A. Smith Explodes On NAACP For Breaking 116-Year Streak By Snubbing Trump From Convention Invite

Stephen A. Smith fired back at the NAACP Friday for its decision to snub President Donald Trump from its convention, breaking a 116-year tradition of inviting sitting presidents to speak.

NAACP President Derrick Johnson announced Monday that the sitting president is not invited to the NAACP National Convention, breaking a long-standing tradition of welcoming presidents from both parties. In a Friday episode of “The Stephen A. Smith Show,” Smith questioned the logic behind the decision and called it counterproductive to its stated mission of advocating for the disenfranchised, particularly in urban communities.

“He has been the most powerful, the most influential member of the GOP since 2015,” Smith said. “How do you refusing to invite him, ostracizing him, not wanting to hear what he has to say to you all — how does that help you? How?”

Smith was quick to say he wasn’t advocating for any kind of endorsement or camaraderie with Trump.

“Ignoring him and not even inviting him to come and speak at your convention — what’s that going to accomplish? For the first time in a 116-year history, you’re not inviting a president? Are you trying to tell me that there’s no president that has been as offensive to the NAACP as Donald Trump in 116 years?” Smith asked.

LBJ or Woodrow Wilson? They were pretty biased against blacks, way more than Trump.

Who’s Racist Now? – NAACP Hits Trump with a Snub Not Seen in 116 Years

In a historic snub, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has announced that it will not be inviting President Donald Trump to its annual national convention.

The NAACP made the announcement Monday and denigrated Trump’s character in doing so.

“For 116 years, the NAACP has invited the sitting president of the United States to address the NAACP National Convention — regardless of their political party,” NAACP president and CEO Derrick Johnson said in a statement.

“There is a rich history of both Republicans and Democrats attending our convention — from Harry Truman to Dwight D. Eisenhower, Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and beyond.

She wrote, “It is my birthday coming up, so I would like a stripper.” The staff went about making the arrangements to make this centenarian’s wish for a “butler in the buff” come true.

The manager of the nursing home wasn’t at all surprised by the wish. She said, “It’s Gwyneth to a T… she is one hell of a woman!”

One of her children says that when she was younger she was a very quiet and mild-mannered woman. She was much more reserved than she is today.

Arguing With Stupid People

I was reading the substack of Miguel Gonzales, he formerly of the Gun Free Zone blog. In the installment in question, he was relating a sort of fail, wherein he had a (I guess) “conversation” with a soul who articulated the (I guess) “thought” that Mr. Trump’s shooting in Butler PA last summer, was faked. Miguel described how that was, to be charitable, unlikely, with several failure modes which Miguel described.

His correspondent then pivoted to describe how tariffs were a horrible idea.

I could not enter my comment, so I inflict it upon you here.

“So, your corespondent was an ELEVENTY! Sharpshooter, eh? As well as an economist?

Was this soul an epidemiologist, as well?

I am reminded of the story of a fellow who, finding himself in the company of The Guru, and, seeking wisdom, inquired how The Guru achieved wisdom?

The Guru instructed the fellow, “Well, I never argue with stupid people.”

The fellow countered, “But, don’t you have an obligation to correct stupid people? Do you not have an obligation to set them straight?”

The Guru looked at him a moment, and then told him, “Of course. You are right.”

Trump’s Attack on Harvard Could be a Turning Point in the Battle Against the Climate Cult

A key plank of the globalist agenda is rooted in Malthusian climate alarmism. This pseudo-scientific hobgoblin has long served as a cudgel to demonise fossil fuels and impose a vision of ‘Net Zero’ that prioritises ideological certainty over pragmatic trade-offs in energy policy. The Trump administration’s aggressive actions against Harvard’s politicised administration include freezing $3 billion in federal grants, revoking Harvard’s ability to enrol international students and threatening its tax-exempt status.

This may, as a welcome collateral effect, disrupt the university’s key role in the Church of Climate, forcing it to align instead with the Trumpian vision of American energy dominance and a rejection of the constraints of the Paris Agreement. The Trump-Harvard standoff could mark a turning point in dismantling the climate-industrial complex’s grip on academia.

By granting intellectual heft to NGO activism, Harvard acts as the ‘Jesuit front’ to the Church of Climate. Like the Jesuits who furthered the Catholic Church’s cause in education and missionary work, Harvard’s professoriate leads the ‘climate crisis’, propagating the faith far and wide in the West and the developing world.

I Guess We’ll Be Safe A Little Longer – ChatGPT got ‘absolutely wrecked’ in chess by 1977 Atari, then claimed it was unfair

The chatbot tried to convince its operators it would improve if given the chance.

OpenAI’s artificial intelligence model was defeated by a nearly 50-year-old video game program.

Citrix software engineer Robert Caruso posted about the showdown between the AI and the old tech on LinkedIn, where he explained that he pitted OpenAI’s ChatGPT against a 1970s chess emulator, meaning a version of the game ported into a computer.

‘ChatGPT got absolutely wrecked on the beginner level.’

The chess game was simply titled Video Chess and was released in 1979 on the Atari 2600, which launched in 1977.

According to Caruso, ChatGPT was given a board layout to identify the chess pieces but quickly became confused, mistook “rooks for bishops,” and repeatedly lost track of where the chess pieces were.

FAFO – IRAN Revolutionary Guard Bragged How Bad Israel Intelligence Is, Found Out The Hard Way

They killed King Salami. He’s now one of somebody’s 72 virgins.

That certainly didn’t age well. Bragging like they always do.

On Thursday, Major Gen. Hossein Salami — the head of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the powerful branch of Iran’s armed forces set up by the theocratic regime after it took power in 1979 — was bragging on state media about how a recent haul of what he claimed were Israeli nuclear and military documents were proof Israeli intelligence was “permeable and threadbare,” claiming the haul would “enhance the country’s offensive capabilities.”

By Friday morning, he was dead, a victim of that “permeable and threadbare” Israeli intelligence.

The attack, The Wall Street Journal reported, “killed a number of Salami’s colleagues as well.”

story

he went on to say

Speaking last year, Salami said the United States “has targeted the entire Islamic world … it seeks to dominate all Muslims, hijack their cultural identities and seize their wealth. All Muslims are, therefore, in the same boat. If the enemy manages to infiltrate into a Muslim state, it will go on with others. Therefore, the path for aggressors to [advance their] dominance must be blocked.”

He went on to say that the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas-led terror attack left Israel near “brain death,” a situation he quite liked.

“The most abhorrent regimes on earth are Israel and the U.S., which supports it,” he said. “Through U.S. military and political support and on the West artificial respiration, it [Israel] has been able to extend its existence which is coming to an end.”

The Meme War General: Douglass Mackey and his online army changed the game…

Before most people even knew what a meme was, Douglass Mackey had already turned it into a weapon. Not just any weapon, a political nuclear bomb.

Back in 2016, while Hillary Clinton was polishing her glass ceiling victory speech and the media was choreographing Trump’s funeral, something totally unexpected was happening online. A new breed of dissident Americans, mostly sharp, clever, pissed-off young men, began using memes to wage information warfare against the political establishment. It was funny. It was irreverent. It was creative. And it was devastatingly effective. Just ask Hillary…

It became known as the Great Meme War.

And leading that charge was a guy known online as “Ricky Vaughn.” Today, we know him as Douglass Mackey, a husband, father, and fighter who was steamrolled by the Biden regime in the early days of lawfare. But we’ll get to that part soon.

With nothing but a laptop, a few savage jokes, and an arsenal of dank memes, Mackey trolled the left into absolute hysteria. He mocked media elites, exposed political phonies, and rallied an army of meme warriors who turned ridicule into revolution. And make no mistake, those memes mattered. So much so that many believe they actually helped swing the 2016 election and rewrote the political playbook forever.

So what happened next? Well, they came for Doug.

Ending the Party for Commies at Harvard

The Trump Administration is tightening up visa requirements for Chinese communists who come to the USA for training at Harvard — and none too soon:

For decades, the [Chinese Communist Party] has sent thousands of mid-career and senior bureaucrats to pursue executive training and postgraduate studies on U.S. campuses, with Harvard University a coveted destination described by some in China as the top “party school” outside the country. …

Harvard enjoys a sterling reputation among Chinese officials thanks to its record in training highflying bureaucrats who went on to take senior government roles and, in some cases, join the party’s elite Politburo.

The ChiComs are open about their close relationship with likeminded Harvard:

“If we were to rank the Chinese Communist Party’s ‘overseas party schools,’ the one deserving top spot has to be Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government in the U.S.,” said a 2014 commentary published by Shanghai Observer, an online platform run by the city’s main party newspaper.

The current regime in China is continuous with Mao Zedong’s, which killed over 70 million of its own people in peacetime. Xi Jinping seeks to displace the USA as the world’s dominant superpower so as to expand communist tyranny.

Xi sent his own daughter to Harvard. He isn’t worried that students will be exposed to dangerous Western ideas about freedom and property rights — not at the leftist school that FIRE (Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression) ranked dead last in the country for free speech, scoring 0 out of 100:

What’s more, granting Harvard a score of 0.00 is generous. Its actual score is -10.69, more than six standard deviations below the average and more than two standard deviations below the second-to-last school in the rankings, its Ivy League counterpart, the University of Pennsylvania.

This Won’t End Well – Dems Spend $20M and Hire a Queer Activist to Attract Men

It’s like the girl trying to change marketing for Bud Light. It’s doomed. Men like what they are used to unless the attraction of adventure is too great. Sticking your dick in another dude’s ass isn’t going to wake up a lot of men.

The Democrat Party is grappling with a significant loss of male voter support that likely cost them the 2024 election. In a moment of clarity, Democrat strategist Joe Caiazzo lamented, “Everything we’ve done up to this point has resulted in reelecting Donald Trump.”

Bingo.

According to data from the progressive firm Catalist, Trump won 54% of male voters overall and 52% of men under 45, a significant gain from previous elections. Specifically, Democrat support among white college-educated men dropped from 2020, with Democrats securing only 51% of this group compared to 54% for Joe Biden. Among white non-college-educated men, Kamala Harris lost three points compared to Biden’s 2020 performance, while female support in this demographic remained steady. These figures highlight a gendered divergence: while women’s support for Democrats remained steady, men, particularly young and working-class men, shifted toward the Republican Party.

Harvard Prof Fired for Fabricating Honesty Data

After Yesterday, you might have thought I was done with Harvard. It’s them that keep stepping on their own dicks.

Harvard, that bastion of integrity, just fired Harvard Business School professor Francesca Gino, who, according to The Harvard Crimson, “has been fighting data fraud allegations for nearly four years.”

It marked a historic faculty penalty for Harvard, which has not revoked a professor’s tenure since the 1940s, when academic protection rules were institutionalized.

The Crimson notes: “Gino, a behavioral scientist who became famous for studying honesty and ethical behavior, was accused of manipulating observations to better support her conclusions. Before her work came under scrutiny, she was a prominent researcher in her field and the fifth-highest paid employee at Harvard in 2018 and 2019, receiving more than $1 million in compensation each year.”

Seriously, you can’t make this up!

Bill Maher Agrees with Trump as He Slams Harvard as an “A-Hole Factory” (Video)

President Donald Trump has made it clear that the American taxpayer will not continue funding the whiny young communists at Harvard.

In April, the Trump administration froze over $2.2 billion in federal research grants and $60 million in contracts to Harvard, citing the university’s failure to adequately address antisemitism on campus.

In May, the administration ordered federal agencies to cancel an estimated $100 million in remaining contracts with Harvard across nine departments.

The administration is also looking to revoke Harvard’s Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) certification, which would prevent the university from enrolling international students—about 6,800 students, or over a quarter of its student body. This move is currently in flux and is set to go to a hearing after it was temporarily blocked by a federal judge.

President Trump has also publicly suggested revoking Harvard’s tax-exempt status, which saved the university an estimated $465 million in 2023.

While liberals whine about the moves against Harvard, Bill Maher announced on his HBO talk show that he agrees with Trump on the issue, calling Harvard an “A-hole factory.”

“Trump has declared full-scale war on Harvard, and like so many things he does, there’s a kernel of a good idea there,” Maher said on Friday, adding, “I’ve been sh–ing on Harvard long before he was.”

If You Have To Apologize For Being Racist, You’re Probably Racist, Even If Black – BWBB

So, a pseudo-racism controversy so predictably nonexistent that you could have called it the moment it began percolating turns out to be nonexistent. You’re an ESPN commentator and you cosigned the existence of the controversy on-air. In fact, your comments have basically become the face of the controversy in sports media.

How do you apologize? Well, in this case, you use the second-most cowardly way for a public figure to back out of stupid remarks.

The first, by a mile, is, “Sorry my point was misunderstood.” Which is to say, the onus is on you: Sorry you lacked the discernment to understand what I actually meant to say, and instead took what I actually said at face value. That still remains the undisputed champion of the terrible public apology.

But second place, albeit a distant second, was trotted out by ESPN’s Chiney Ogwumike after she unfairly maligned the entire Indiana Fever fan base as racists: “Sorry that my message was in the heat of the moment.”

Why ‘k’ is the most hated text message, according to science

I’ve written about things similar to this, like What Does HA! Mean On A Text? (Or the Worst Single Word Answers)

This one interested me because we both agree that K is pretty much the equivalent to F/U on a text, while being polite

Why ‘k’ is the most hated text message, according to science

A study reveals that the one-letter reply “K” is more damaging than being ‘left on read.’

Why ‘k’ is the most hated text message, according to science

A study has confirmed what we all suspected: “K” is officially the worst text you can send.

It might look harmless enough, but this single letter has the power to shut down a conversation and leave the recipient spiraling. According to a study published in the International Journal of Mobile Communications, “K” was ranked as the most negatively received response in digital conversations—worse than being left on read or even a passive-aggressive “sure.”

The study found that the single-letter reply often signals emotional distance, passive-aggression, or outright disinterest. Despite its brevity, “K” carries surprising emotional weight. Adding an extra letter—making it “kk”—softens the tone of the reply entirely. Variants like “ok” or “okay,” while still cold, tend to be interpreted as neutral or merely formal.

Many of our day-to-day conversations happen over text, which means there are now unspoken codes of conduct to follow. If you want to open up about your emotions but don’t want to sound too serious, make sure to add “lol” to the end of those texts to show you’re just in a silly, goofy mood, and not suicidal. Giving advice to a friend that you don’t want to be held accountable for? Add an “idk” at the end of the sentence to mitigate culpability.

Nonverbal cues like tone, facial expressions, and body language can be difficult to convey via our phones, leaving the door wide open for misunderstanding and misinterpretation. Sometimes generational differences also impact how we send and interpret texts. In some cases, textual miscommunications can be relationship killers, research has found.

Some texters recognize the power of “k” and are willing to weaponize the letter to serve their own motives. One X user called it “the digital equivalent of slamming the door while making dead eye contact.” Another added: “K is short for ‘you’re dead to me.’ ”

Others advocate for the convenience of the single-letter response: “I’ve learned that rather than replying with a wall of text explaining how you feel, you should just type ‘K’ and hit send. No sense in wasting your valuable words.”

Many suggested other similarly anxiety-inducing replies. “Text her ‘he’s busy.’ see how triggered she gets. lol,” one X user suggested. “No lies told there. … Thumbs up is a very close second for me,” another added.

A third countered: “I raise you ‘we need to talk.’ ”

When You’ve Done Too Much Drugs

Man Attacked by Alligator, Shot by Deputies After Apparently Making the Dumbest Decision of His Life

A chaotic end for one man may serve as a warning for others about the dangers of methamphetamine, alligators, and charging police with garden shears.

The unusual incident started around 6 a.m. Monday in Lakeland, Florida, when the Polk County Sheriff’s Office received a call about a man, later identified as 42-year-old Timothy Schulz, acting erratically near a racetrack Monday morning. Deputies responded, but initially could not locate the individual.

Hours later, another caller reported a man swimming in a lake that was packed with alligators.

The Sarasota Herald-Tribune reported that one witness told investigators that he offered a life vest to the man, but was refused. Another witness said Schulz growled at them.

While in the water, things went from bad to worse for Schultz. At some point, it appears he was attacked by one of the lake’s resident reptiles.

Schulz eventually exited the water and made his way into a nearby neighborhood. He is believed to have found a pair of garden shears left in a yard there.

His actions grew increasingly aggressive as he walked the community. At one point, he threw a brick at a truck.

Dem’s Spend 20 Million To Find Out Why Men Don’t Like Them. Here’s Why

Hell, I’d do it for $5. We like our girls to have a pussy, not our men. The dems are trying so hard not to be masculine or have any male viralness that even the liberal women want a real man. Girls already have a pussy and don’t need another one, and that’s who the liberal men are.

Six months after a stinging nationwide rejection that handed Donald Trump a commanding reelection and fractured their core coalition, the Democratic Party is turning to a new solution: spending $20 million to figure out why young men don’t like them.

The project, codenamed SAM — short for “Speaking with American Men: A Strategic Plan” – is described in a prospectus obtained by the New York Times. It outlines a massive push to decode the language and culture of disaffected young men, particularly in online spaces, and includes a proposal to buy ads inside video games.

“Above all, we must shift from a moralizing tone,” the document urges.

The effort comes amid widespread Democratic soul-searching after a loss that wasn’t just electoral, but cultural. A recent NBC News poll placed the party’s favorability at just 27 percent, its worst showing in the poll’s 34-year history.

Focus groups show the branding problem is dire. One Georgia man recently summed it up succinctly: “A deer in headlights.” According to messaging consultant Anat Shenker-Osorio, Democrats are consistently described in her focus groups as “sloths,” “tortoises,” and now, apparently, roadkill.

“You stand there and you see the car coming,” the man explained. “But you’re going to stand there and get hit with it anyway.”

Get Me A Brain Igor, Harvard Pleads Guilty To Trafficking Human Parts From Corpses

From the DOJ Website:

Former Harvard Morgue Manager Pleads Guilty To Trafficking Stolen Human Remains

The United States Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania announced that Cedric Lodge, age 57, of Goffstown, New Hampshire, pled guilty yesterday before Chief United States District Judge Matthew W. Brann to interstate transport of stolen human remains.

According to Acting United States Attorney John Gurganus, Lodge admitted that, from 2018 through at least March 2020, he participated in the sale and interstate transport of human remains stolen from Harvard Medical School morgue, located in Boston, Massachusetts. Lodge, who was then employed as the manager of the Harvard Medical School Morgue, removed human remains, including organs, brains, skin, hands, faces, dissected heads, and other parts, from donated cadavers after they had been used for research and teaching purposes but before they could be disposed of according to the anatomical gift donation agreement between the donor and the school. Lodge took the remains without the knowledge or permission of his employer, the donor, or the donor’s family, and transport the remains to his home in New Hampshire. After he and his wife Denise Lodge sold the remains, they would ship the remains to the buyers in other states or the buyer would take possession directly and transport the remains themselves. Remains stolen and sold by Lodge were transported from the morgue in Boston to locations in Salem, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Pennsylvania.

Lodge admitted to having sold remains to Joshua Taylor and Andrew Ensanian, among others. Many of the remains purchased from Lodge were resold for a profit, including to Jeremy Pauley, who previously entered a guilty plea to conspiracy and interstate transportation of stolen human remains.

Several other defendants have previously entered guilty pleas in related cases, including Lodge’s wife, Denise Lodge, Joshua Taylor, Andrew Ensanian, Matthew Lampi, and Angelo Pereyra. Lampi was sentenced to 15 months in prison and Pereyra was sentenced to 18 months. Denise Lodge and Joshua Taylor are still awaiting sentencing. Additionally, Candace Chapman-Scott, who stole remains from an Arkansas crematorium where she was employed and sold them to Pauley in Pennsylvania, entered a plea of guilty in Arkansas federal court and was sentenced to 15 years in prison.

Everything Is Kind Of Becoming A Drag On Harvard These Days, Not Just China

Harvard University’s links to China, long an asset to the school, have become a liability as the Trump administration levels accusations that its campus is plagued by Beijing-backed influence operations.

On Thursday the administration moved to revoke Harvard’s ability to enroll foreign students, saying it fostered antisemitism and coordinated with the Chinese Communist Party. Among them are Chinese nationals who made up about a fifth of Harvard’s foreign student intake in 2024, the university said.

A U.S. judge on Friday temporarily blocked the administration’s order after the Cambridge, Massachusetts, university sued.

The concerns about Chinese government influence at Harvard are not new. Some U.S. lawmakers, many of them Republicans, have expressed worries that China is manipulating Harvard to gain access to U.S. advanced technology, to circumvent U.S. security laws and to stifle criticism of it in the United States.

“For too long, Harvard has let the Chinese Communist Party exploit it,” a White House official told Reuters on Friday, adding the school had “turned a blind eye to vigilante CCP-directed harassment on-campus.”

Nobody Likes Them In Their Town Anyway

A host of American corporations are backpedaling from their involvement in gay pride events this year amid the Trump administration’s rollback of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) efforts across the country.

There have been a growing number of reports that organizers of major gay pride parades and festivals across the U.S. are scrambling for funds due to several longtime corporate sponsors scaling back their support of LGBTQ events. Some scholars explained to the Daily Caller News Foundation that news of companies pulling back from pride events may reflect a broader shift away from DEI in corporate America.

“We are seeing major companies, in meaningful numbers, either eliminating or modifying their DEI programs, which certainly does include sponsoring LGBTQ+ pride events and so on,” Stefan Padfield, the executive director of the National Center’s Free Enterprise Project, told the DCNF. “I think really the bottom line here is that there has just arisen an awareness on the part of executives that this promotion of these [pride] events runs such a meaningful risk of being perceived as pushing transgender ideology on parents … I think corporations have finally woken up to the reality that that’s a very big risk for them to be taking.”

11 Things Introverts Secretly Wish You’d Stop Doing

Our extroverted culture encourages a lot of behaviors that aren’t introvert-friendly — things that drive us up a wall.

Are you an introvert who feels like your social battery is constantly low? Do you find yourself trapped in conversations you don’t want to be in — or just feeling misunderstood?

There’s a good chance the problem isn’t you. In fact, the problem might be that our extrovert-oriented culture encourages a lot of not-so-introvert-friendly behaviors — things that drive us up a wall (or send us retreating to our quiet homes) and make us wish the world had a mute button.

Here are some things we introverts wish other people would stop doing. I can’t speak for all introverts, but I believe these 11 things are common introvert pet peeves.

11 Things Introverts Wish You’d Stop Doing

1. Talking to them when they’re reading or doing some other solitary activity

I will never, ever understand why holding an open book isn’t the universal symbol for “don’t talk to me.” To me, the mere sight of a person reading a book implies a bright, neon Shh! Quiet, please! library sign floating in the air above them.

Instead, open a book in a public place, and you can practically hear the eyes swiveling toward you as every extroverted or bored person within a mile realizes, Ooh! Someone who doesn’t have anybody to talk to! They must be waiting for me to come wow them with my brilliant repartee!

No. We’re not. We are merely — and I swear this is true, as shocking as it may seem — trying to read. Please respect that.

(That said, if you ask what book we’re reading because you can’t see the cover, that’s fine. Just please leave the ball in our court as to whether the conversation continues.)

2. Not taking the hint when they no longer want to talk

I don’t want to be rude (or even appear rude). I want to be a nice person, who has a nice exchange with you, and then we nicely wrap it up after a moment and go our separate ways.

But if you want the Nice Introvert on my end, you have to give me the Conscientious Extrovert on your end — the one who can read subtle, polite cues and body language. (No shade to my neurodivergent friends, especially those on the autism spectrum — this doesn’t apply to you!)

To spell it out: If someone is glancing back at their laptop, book, or activity that you interrupted, or toward their vehicle or the exit, or if they say, “Well…” and trail off, or say, “It was nice meeting you,” they’re nicely telling you that your time is up. Let ‘em go.

Because if you don’t, Nice Introvert has to go away — and you’re going to get Uncomfortably Direct Introvert. And yes, I will walk away in the middle of your sentence.

(Most introverts, though, will suffer in silence to be polite. And that, honestly, is an even worse outcome. Don’t make them do that.)

3. Telling them “there won’t be many people” — then inviting everyone you know

I would love to be able to follow the labyrinth trail through an extrovert’s mind that leads from “I’m only inviting a few people” to “Hello, One-Hundredth Person to Arrive, come on in, there are drinks in the kitchen — just past the people playing Who Can Yell Words the Loudest, to the left of the 8,000-Decibel Sound System from Hell. Nope, you didn’t miss the Clown Car Full of People We Don’t Know Who Will Somehow Still Be Here; they should be arriving soon!”

However it happens, please stop.

It’s totally fine if you want a big house party — but just say that. If you tell us it’ll be small, quiet, and/or that not many people will be there, please understand that we are expecting a total of four to six people (or maybe a dozen if the word “party” was involved).

Keep in mind: To introverts, once a gathering is too big for everyone to be involved in the same conversation together, it’s no longer “small” — and it won’t make us happy.

4. Making introvert jokes

Okay, pop quiz: When is an introvert joke appropriate?

Answer: When an introvert is the one making it. Period. That’s all, folks.

Look, I get it — introverts are “a thing” in pop culture now, and the jokes are usually good-natured. (“Oh, you’re an introvert? You must hate being here!” Ba-dum-dum.)

Introvert jokes are, at best, a mild annoyance. But they’re also tedious, they reinforce inaccurate ideas about introversion, and honestly, they’re overused. (You’re not the first extrovert to come up with that line, I promise.)

5. Talking forever without asking the introvert about themselves

Just about every article about introverts says we’re “great at listening.” Are we? Or are we bored out of our minds and desperately looking for a way out while someone goes on and on about problems at their workplace — talking about people we don’t even know?

Look, I’m an introvert, and even I know that conversation is all about give and take. It’s about passing the torch. I tell a story or make a point, and then I give space for you to tell a story or make a point. We talk about my thing for a while, and then we talk about your thing. Sometimes this back-and-forth happens naturally; other times, you can prompt it by simply asking the other person a question.

But if you don’t pass the ball, the entire conversation becomes unpleasant.

The issue is, many introverts have softer voices or don’t jump in and start talking over someone else — which, to be clear, means we are being good conversation partners. But some extroverts (or clueless people of all stripes) take that to mean we’re riveted, and they just keep on going.

So stop. Ask me about myself. I promise I’ll do the same for you. (Or, at a minimum, I’ll take the opening to excuse myself and run in the opposite direction.)

6. Assuming any pause in conversation is your opening to take over

This goes hand-in-hand with the previous point. We all know pauses in conversation are natural, right?

Sure, in a large group, if one person pauses, it’s a nice chance for someone else to add something. But introverts often need a few moments to formulate their thoughts before they start talking. Unfortunately, that doesn’t jibe with our species’ rapidly shrinking attention span, and people assume they can just jump in over us.

This is especially a problem in one-on-one conversations. For introverts, these are the perfect convos — the ones where both people can go a little deeper. If you ask us a question, or we open our mouths to talk and then pause, please, give us a beat. Let a few seconds go by. I guarantee you’ll become one of the few conversations we actually enjoyed that day — and it’ll probably be more interesting for you, too.

7. Lumping all introverts together, assuming they’re all shy, quiet, or socially awkward

Yeah, I get it. Lots of introverts don’t like public speaking. Lots of introverts hate the spotlight. Lots of introverts dislike parties. And some introverts are shy, feel socially awkward, or have social anxiety.

But guess what? Not all introverts check every single one of those boxes — and some don’t check any at all.

Personally, I love being in the spotlight, and lots of introverts are performers, public speakers, or otherwise stand in front of people for a living. (Some are even A-list celebrities — including Taylor Swift!)

Likewise, although I used to be very socially awkward, I spent a lot of years practicing my social skills, and now I feel comfortable talking to strangers at parties or networking events, or making conversation overall. And I might even enjoy a party for an hour or two — just not all night.

Really, the only thing all introverts have in common is that we get tired quickly from social interactions. That’s it. Whether we’re good or bad at any particular social skill — or whether we enjoy socializing up to a certain point — varies from person to person.

So, please, stop lumping us together.

8. Putting them on the spot

Say it with me: Introverts need time to mentally prepare.

That means we do not want to be handed the mic, called out in a group, asked to perform an impromptu song, or anything else that involves being put on the spot.

Here are some things you can try saying instead:

  • “For the bonfire party next week, would you be willing to bring your guitar and do a few songs? It’s okay if not.”
  • “Hey, we’re going to do toasts after dinner, and I’d like to ask you to give one. Could you think of something by then?”
  • “So-and-so was supposed to do the presentation today and just messaged that they’re stuck in traffic. I know you aren’t prepared, but you helped put together the deck. If I stall with the clients to buy you 10 minutes to prepare, could you do the presentation?”

Of course, the introvert may still decline — but by giving them some time to think about it and prepare, you’ll make for a much better experience for everyone.

9. Talking during movies, shows, and other events that don’t encourage talking

Okayyyyyyy, so I don’t know when this became a thing, but it seems like people treat shows and movies as background noise now — chit-chatting instead of, I don’t know, watching the show. Is it because there are subtitles on almost everything? Is it because the endless binge of episodes isn’t very satisfying, so you need something more?

To this, I daresay most introverts are more interested in following the plotline than we are in bantering about your workday.

To be clear: Once a show or movie is turned on, you have two options — either zip it and watch, or pause the show when you have something important to say. (But don’t overuse the pausing privileges.)

10. Treating them as your personal therapist

Introverts can be deep and thoughtful. We can also come across as wise — sometimes by accident — because we think first and talk later. Despite what I said before, introverts can be attentive listeners with the right person or in the right situation.

But none of that gives us an endless well of emotional energy, and none of it makes us a trained therapist. (Except for the introverts who are, in fact, trained and licensed therapists.)

So if you’re close friends with an introvert whose opinions you respect, by all means, let them know when you’ve got something heavy on your mind and ask if you can talk to them about it. That’s what friends are for.

But that quiet, soulful, soft-spoken, patient individual you just met literally 30 seconds ago? That is not your therapist. That is a random introvert who is internally panicking at your awkward overshare while desperately trying to save even one ounce of the energy you’re sucking out of their social battery.

11. Surprising them with plans, from parties to showing up unannounced

Don’t. Just don’t.

Seriously. Don’t.

Kid Rock Blames “Ugly Ass, Broke, Crazy” Liberal Women For Low US Birthrate

You tell ’em Kid.

Musician Kid Rock has figured out why the US birthrate is so low; ‘Ugly ass, broke, crazy, deranged, TDS liberal women.’

Speaking with Fox News‘ Jesse Watters, the 54-year-old rocker responded to a clip of left-wing protesters, saying: “You look at these rallies, and it’s like a bunch of women that no guy wants to sleep with and a bunch of dudes that want to sleep with each other.”

“We have this low birth rate in America, and it all made sense. It just hit me right now, because who’s gonna sleep with these ugly ass, broke, crazy, deranged, TDS [Trump Derangement Syndrome] liberal women?“

Watters responded by asking whether Rock sees “blue hair” and “female armpit hair” at his concerts.

Cause And Effect: Homicides Are Down 60 Percent in Denver Following ICE Deportations

The liberal ‘sanctuary city’ of Denver, Colorado is experiencing an outbreak of law and order, following the deportation of criminal illegal immigrants by ICE. Who knew such a thing could happen?

Homicides in Denver and other Colorado cities are down by a whopping 60 percent. Are liberals still going to argue against the policy of deporting people in the country illegally? Are they still going to try to defend members of MS-13 and other gangs?

It’s almost like enforcing laws works out well for law abiding citizens. Almost.

FOX 31 in Denver reports:

Newly released report says homicides dropped nearly 60% in Denver in 2025

Homicides are down nearly 60% in Denver so far this year, according to the newly released report by the Major Cities Chiefs Association.

It’s a significant drop from last year and one of the biggest declines in violent crime rates in the country.

“Violent crime is just about reducing in every city, but we were the city in which it had declined the most,” said Denver Police Chief Ron Thomas.

Thomas says he is proud to have that distinction, and it speaks to the hard work of his officers.

“We’ve been able to see these significant reductions in crime without over policing communities,” said Thomas. “It’s one of the things we have understood was important and we need to be responsive, but we need to make sure we’re investing as much as we’re enforcing.”

Man, They’ve Got Poop Bags, Or At Least Charmin For That

Everyone loves a minor league baseball bat dog. They run out, pick up a Louisville Slugger, and they get so excited about it, you’d think they had just won the lottery.

But, like any dog, sometimes nature calls, but it’s what happened after one such on-field dooking that left fans horrified.

The Kannapolis Cannon Balls are a Single-A affiliate of the Chicago White Sox, and according to Daily Mail, they were taking on the Carolina Mudcats on Tuesday night when the team’s bat dog, Kacey Betty — a certified good girl — decided to drop the kids off at the pool so to speak before going out and picking up a bat.

No biggie. It happens. But what happened next horrified the crowd, and it involved one man, a clipboard, and a bare hand.
