The last time I drove through there this past May, I stopped at a gas station in Bucksnort. It was a pretty grubby place, and you can imagine the clientele. Thought about making a joke on Surly, but kinda forgot about it by the time I reached my hotel in Memphis. Sad news, though. RIP to the deceased and condolences to those they left behind. Sucks.

Sterlin Harjo’s new show ‘The Lowdown’ coming to FX
bolverk replied to C-Man's topic in Movies and TV
That was one fine episode. From that first scene with Dale telling his story out on the ranch, to Lee's heartbreak of seeing his ex-wife finally officially moving on, to his middle-aged dad bod gallavanting around in his skivies, and then the unraveling of the mystery with a shocking exclamation point at the end. Just damn good storytelling. -
Southern CA Fires- Extreme Santa Ana Winds
bolverk replied to Wilcox Cummingtonite's topic in Daily Texan
Dated myself with the French "fire" songs. So, zder, from what I can gather, is slang for a joint (likely for hash). In French, thé, means tea. "A joint, a tea", that's the song title. Just watched it, and the lyrics are basically just about being tired, going home, and getting stoned to relax and help go to sleep. Edit: I'm in no way trying to downplay what the motherfucker did, but tying this to a French rap song sounds akin to all the Satanic panic stuff from the wayback and the dangers of heavy metal. -

Papers, please. Surly thread of deportation cruelty dominance

Right, and the other function of the police state (the “Law”) is to protect, but not bind, the upper-class in-groups. -
Papers, please. Surly thread of deportation cruelty dominance
bolverk replied to Captainant's topic in Daily Texan
I mean, it's pretty fucked up when this is your model for a modern society. Just add new labels, substituting billionaire oligarchs (family dynasties of legacy industries and techlords) for the lords and a police state for the knights (currently growing and undergoing an overhaul) to keep the rest of us in line. Among the peasantry, separate the merchant class (nominally citizens with some limited rights, but still peasants...errr middle class, where most of us on this board reside). The pricks-on-high figured out a clever way to make the racist, useful idoits feel special and consequential, even as their rights dwindle, because they now have serfs (you know, "those people") gaze down upon and feel better than. This is where the propaganda comes in handy: "That foreigner is trying to take your cookie, mate!"; "If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you." Serfs and slaves are below all the rest, with very few or no rights. <= This is the reemergence of a class that technically should've been abolished in 1865, but the pricks-on-high keep trying to bring it back: sharecroppers, miners living in company towns, terrified undocumented workers out in the fields, in the kitchens, and at the construction sites. -
America's Foreign Policy & Other Shit Going On Around the World thread

Gaza isn't the only genocide that the Trump regime is contributing to. https://apnews.com/article/myanmar-usaid-thailand-trump-rubio-aid-7f6919a1863ceea2ddf6708e47bb88f0 MAE SOT, Thailand (AP) — Mohammed Taher clutched the lifeless body of his 2-year-old son and wept. Ever since his family’s food rations stopped arriving at their internment camp in Myanmar in April, the father had watched helplessly as his once-vibrant baby boy weakened, suffering from diarrhea and begging for food. On May 21, exactly two weeks after Taher’s little boy died, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio sat before Congress and declared: “No one has died” because of his government’s decision to gut its foreign aid program. Rubio also insisted: “No children are dying on my watch.” That, Taher says, “is a lie.” “I lost my son because of the funding cuts,” he says. “And it is not only me — many more children in other camps have also died helplessly from hunger, malnutrition and no medical treatment.” Taher’s grief is echoed in families across conflict-ravaged Myanmar, where the United Nations estimates 40% of the population needs humanitarian assistance and which once counted the U.S. as its largest humanitarian donor. Now, in Asia, it has become the epicenter of the suffering unleashed upon the world’s most vulnerable by President Donald Trump’s dismantling of the U.S. Agency for International Development. And like Taher’s son, Mohammed Hashim, it is Myanmar’s children who have borne the brunt of the fallout. A study published in The Lancet journal in June said the U.S. funding cuts could result in more than 14 million deaths, including more than 4.5 million children under age 5, by 2030. Taher is one of 145,000 people forced to live inside squalid, prison-like camps in the state of Rakhine by the ruling military. Most, like Taher, are members of Myanmar’s persecuted Rohingya minority, which was attacked by the military in 2017 in what the U.S. declared a genocide. After their food rations evaporated, Taher’s family meals shrank from three a day to one. Taher, his wife and his five children grew so weak, there were days they could not walk. Little Hashim faded. The clever, caring toddler, who loved playing football and whose cheerful chirps of “Mama” and “Baba” once filled their shelter, could barely move. Anguished by his son’s sobs, Taher tried to find help. But with soldiers banning residents from leaving the camp to find food, and with no money for a doctor, there was nothing Taher could do. On May 7, Taher and his wife watched their baby take his final breath. Their other children began to scream. Neighbor Mohammed Foyas, who visited the family after Hashim died and was present for his burial, confirmed the details to The Associated Press. Asked who is to blame for the loss of his son, Taher is direct: the United States. “In the camps, we survive only on rations,” he says. “Without rations, we have nothing — no food, no medicine, no chance to live.” [This is a long read.] -

Government Shutdown 2025: This Time It’s Personal
bolverk replied to Bozo_Casanova's topic in Cloak Room
White House Signals It May Try to Deny Back Pay to Furloughed Federal Workers Union leaders and Democratic lawmakers say the move would run afoul of a law adopted under President Trump’s first term. Hundreds of thousands of furloughed federal workers may not automatically receive back pay once the government reopens, the White House indicated in a draft memo, prompting broad fears that the Trump administration might try to circumvent federal law to maximize the pain of the shutdown. The memo, which was shared by a White House official, could presage a radical break from a policy adopted during President Trump’s first term. It appeared to contradict some of the administration’s own guidance, which by Tuesday still indicated that furloughed employees would receive retroactive pay shortly after Congress strikes a funding deal. Following the longest shutdown in history — a five-week closure that began under Mr. Trump at the end of 2018 — Congress adopted a law that guaranteed back pay for the millions of federal workers who often bear the financial brunt of funding lapses. That measure, known as the Government Employee Fair Treatment Act, applied not only to that closure but also future fiscal lapses, quelling a major source of uncertainty for federal workers caught in the political fray. Mr. Tump signed that measure into law in 2019. But his administration six years later now appears to have interpreted its guarantees much differently. In the draft memo, the White House budget office said that only the workers who are deemed as essential — military service members, air traffic controllers and others still working while the government is closed — are entitled to pay once the stalemate ends. For those who are furloughed, the White House memo lays out the case that Congress still must explicitly approve funding for the payments. Union officials and Democratic lawmakers quickly blasted Mr. Trump for what they described as only the latest attempt to use federal workers as bargaining chips during the shutdown. The president separately has threatened to fire government workers while federal offices remain closed, prompting labor groups to sue in a bid to block the mass layoffs. Everett Kelley, the national president of the American Federation of Government Employees, said the White House had offered a “frivolous argument” about back pay and an “obvious misinterpretation of the law,” noting that the government itself appeared to take a much different position in public guidance. In a question-and-answer document posted online by the Office of Personnel Management, the agency specifically says that “employees who were furloughed as the result of the lapse will receive retroactive pay for those furlough periods.” Senator Patty Murray of Washington, the top Democrat on the chamber’s Appropriations Committee, said on social media that the White House memo marked only “another baseless attempt to try and scare” federal workers. “The letter of the law is as plain as can be — federal workers, including furloughed workers, are entitled to their back pay following a shutdown,” she said. Axios earlier reported on the memo. -
+1 on The Decameron. That show was funny as all get out. Edit: @RomaVicta, I think you especially would like it. I'm about to start the second season of 1617, an absurdist comedy set in medieval Poland.

22 minutes of the Democratic Party sucks ass. @pyrohornIII I hope your guy understands how fucking frustrated and angry we are with this POS party's fecklessness and cowardice, which is causing enormous harm to you, me, and everybody else, will result in this country's and our beloved state's downfall. Yes, I understand that the blame ultimately falls at the feet of the fascists who hate democracy, but the sheer ineptitude of the party that's supposed to look out for the little guy is utterly fucking staggering. Since my first vote (1992), I have not voted for a single Republican at any level of government. Holy fuck, I've even voted for Libertarians because they dared put someone on the ballot in opposition to the Republicans, because the Democrats were too lily-livered to even be bothered to put up a damned candidate. I now live in a community that voted about 80% for Donald Trump, and yet, almost everyone I talk to is pissed off about everything that's happening, including those who voted for the orange beast. But, you see, the problem is they don't have anyone to vote for that will stand up to all this bullshit, so they stay on the gotdam sidelines. What the fuck is wrong with you people? @pyrohornIII, copy/paste and send every word of this post, including the clip below, to Kendall. I am your party's wet dream: a middle-aged white guy, who grew up in modest means provided by two Evangelical Southern Baptist, die-hard conservative public school teachers in a small West Texas town, and who has completely rejected all of the shit that Republicans preach, but I still hold my nose at voting for the shit the Democratic Party serves. PS: I figure you probably work your ass off fighting the good fight, Pyro, so I hope that you don't take any of the above personally. I'm just mad as hell and can't take it anymore.

That kind of obstinate historical revisionism--a result of either being delusional or a fucking dishonest liar--is why I put him on ignore several months ago, but that was regarding the ongoing Gaza genocide. Even if you just limit the accusation to ethnic cleansing by Israel, he denies it and brings up fantasy land bullshit. It's like talking to a brick wall, so I gave up and cut him off, refusing to engage the asshole any further.

Coach Sark Press Conference 10.6 - 11:30am (LHN app or ESPN app)
bolverk replied to BigOrange1's topic in Football
I think it was during the press conference after the SJSU game when he took a question about Manning grimacing so much during the game while passing the ball, raising the possibility that he’d injured a shoulder. Sark said something to the effect of: "Arch is fine. I don't know why y'all are focused on his facial expressions. We don't worry about the faces y'all (reporters) make sitting on the toilet."
