The irony of this story is just delicious.

- People earn and accumulate miles/points.

- The issuer of these miles/points reduces their purchasing power.

- When people decide to use their saved miles/points, they find they’re worth less than what they had originally been worth when they earned them.

Hey, Pete….

I've enjoyed watching the Open this year with the American men and women doing very well.

Couldn't help but notice Taylor Fritz (a S.D. native) has a healthy resemblance to our own hoopster Trey Galloway. What do you think?

#separated at birth?












and Fritz's girlfriend can console him if he doesn't win the Open!

Pretty cool if you like historic arenas.

@Marvin the Martian said he’s too old and too fat to get into cars he likes and has no interest in getting into those he doesn’t. So sept 13 is the last grand tour. Sounds like it’s going to be a good. The end of another era

Ran across this article and thought it was interesting given how much it was discussed when I was in school.

Following the devastating Iskander double tap strike on the Poltava Institute of Military Communications, numerous government officials decided to find other less hazardous grifts to enjoy, including:

Dmytro Kuleba - Head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Denis Maliuska - Minister of Justice
Alexander Kamyshin - Minister for Strategic Industry
Ruslan Strelets - Minister of Environmental Protection and Natural Resources
Olga Stefanishyna - Deputy PM for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration
Iryna Vereshchuk - Deputy PM For Reintegration of Uncontrolled Territories
Rostislav Shurma - Deputy Head of the Presidential Office

The average person has likely never heard of them. Yet...

They are all 3 part of the "Bro network" of far right commentators with their own youtube channels. All of them are internet famous and all of them have channels with over a million or more subscribers.Content from all 3 come across my subscription playlist daily,, so II feel comfortable in saying that none of them strike me as mensa level content creators. They have figured out that grifting the right wing is a tried and true formula, and as a result they make far more than what I feel their intelligence should warrant. But evidently thousands of paying customers view them differently...

But they may be about to progress from internet fame, to a level of scrutiny and exposure they might not actually want. We had a thread on the DOJ announcing a probe of Russian election interference today, and the breaking news is that 2 Russian businessmen have been indicted. The charges include money laundering and failing to egister as foreign agents. The two men are connected with Russia Today (RT) which is basically Putin's private propaganda network and are charged with funneling millions of $$ to a variety of shell companies leading to a media publisher (Tenet Media) that publishes pro-Russian videos on Tik Tok,Twitter, Instagram and youtube.

And Tenet Media features 6 commenters as it's "talent" including Rubin,Pool and Benny. Now none of the 6 are included in the indictment and they will likely maintain that they were unwittingly used. But if you examine the content produced by all 3 you'll easily notice the pro-Russia/anti-Ukraine orientation as well as the very pronouced pro Tump theme which permeates everything they do. Tenet worked in tandem with RT, but the connection was never disclosed.And it appears the stated aim was to exacerbate political differences in the US in the interest of the Russians.

An example of the type of misinformation they spread, was the claim that the terrorists who attacked the Moscow music Hall were from Ukraine. Even though the perps were arrested and the Islamic State claimed responsibility, RT thru Tenet and it's talent ran a campaign to discredit the Islamic State connection and tried to pin the blame on Ukraine.RT hired trolls to infiltrate the discord and comments sections of content produced by Tenet's talent who pretended to be members/followers urging them to publish more of the pro-Russian video content. From Oct 2023 to Aug 2024 the Indictment alleges that RT sent wire transfers totalling 9.7 Million to Tenet and Tenet in turn paid 8,7 Million of that to the production companies of the 3 stooges...

Here is an example of the content created. This is Tim Pool,and his beanie...

With Sisley and Mullins on the 20th

Or the ass-backward interpretation of it in the holler.

Tribute to brunettes!

I do ascribe to the view that stupid people should be able to say stupid things so we can point and laugh at them, but if you are going to platform the person, you have to actually do a little of that pushing yourself.

Like...wow...

Tampon Tim’s family just endorsed Trump. They know what’s up.

I have several grass lot passes left for this game. Free to anyone I know . Also have an RV pass if you wanna get frisky and clog up that shitter. 50 bucks for that one. Cheapest hotel in town.

Let me know!

I have been banned from that thread bc I hate circle so thought I’d respond here. @Grateful Redbeard just attacked our pastor and in so doing noted what walz signed.

"The Minnesota law allows courts to have “temporary emergency jurisdiction” during custody disputes crossing state lines if a child has been unable to obtain gender-affirming care. Kat Rohn, executive director of OutFront, an LGBTQ+ advocacy organization in St. Paul, Minn., said the law gives courts the ability to resolve conflicts when parents disagree on whether their child should receive gender-affirming care; it does not remove custody from parents who decline such care.

@CO. Hoosier @BradStevens @TheOriginalHappyGoat leaving aside that this is bat shit crazy from walz who more and more seems like a batshit crazy woke lunatic this is our prior discussion re family court orders. By my own admission I don’t remember anything about conflicts, choice of law, standing etc. but I don’t understand how this can fly.

I’m in fla. Ex is in Georgia. I file in fla. My ex wants my 12 year old minion to get hormone blockers. They zip off to minny and now I’m subject to the vagaries of a local minny judge and his inculcated community stds? Our fla Ct is somehow divested of jurisdiction? What if I get a protective order in fla circuit court. What if my judge who presided over the case in fla circuit ct denies mom’s request. what if he denies her request and it's therefore not included in the final judgment. and there is a final judgment. mn ct can still hear it? bizarre shit.

What am I missing. There’s something I forgot or don’t understand

From S.I.:


Looks like the only possible surprises might be on the defensive side of the ball where their top two players weren't in the game last week... If they show up Friday night we might get a little better workout than expected but it's unlikely that even their presence will be enough to give us a serious scare...

Looks like the perfect match up for a week two tune up to get ready for the trip out west...

The only way we lose this game is if our Team is even more overconfident about this matchup then I am and find several ways to beat themselves...

Western Illinois 10
Indiana 41

Go Hoosiers!

You can buy the Pitchfork Ranch in Wyoming.

Click through all the 76 photos. This is the Yellowstone Ranch in real life.

One of the most iconic western photos ever was taken on the Pitchfork in the 30’s

From The Atlantic: During a conversation onstage at a Moms for Liberty event last week, Donald Trump said something that made even me—a seasoned visitor to Trump’s theme park of hyperbole—look around in confusion at the people around me in the audience.

“The transgender thing is incredible,” he told the Moms for Liberty co-founder Tiffany Justice. “Think of it; your kid goes to school, and he comes home a few days later with an operation. The school decides what’s going to happen with your child.”

Okay, one of two options in play here. One, Trump has completely lost his mind. Two, Trump believes the audience he is addressing are total Morans and will accept anything he tells them as true.

I’d vote for both options being correct.
