The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down
There's a book coming out about the wreck that includes the story of the song, which is actually quite interesting. I posted a link to a RS story about it on the GL thread. https://www.amazon.com/Gales-November-Untold-Edmund-Fitzgerald/dp/1324094648

ICE activity/raids
The judges in Oregon and Chicago have found ICE accounts of violence from protestors justifying their own violence to be not credible, which is a polite way of saying complete bullshit. And whose testimony contradicts and belies ICE and CBP? Local cops, mostly, supplemented by video.

Goblin is good, if you want to stick with the alliteration.

I for one welcome our new AI overlords
Also, any time you see the term "financial engineering," someone is about to get fucked. And usually fucked in such a way that taxpayers are holding the bag.

2025 Week 12: Texas @ Georgia
Well, the scary thing is that the defense has been gashed pretty good several times this season.

Maybe it's just the movie, but "gremlins" I think are small and cute, maybe gargoyle or golem is a better word.

The Big 10 is pushing ahead with massive private investment deal over objections from Michigan and USC
We got our taste of how PE would bring even more crass commercialization to CFB and other sports in Steve Patterson.

ChatGPT AI Tool— We all work for robots now
It's like kids who did their term papers and what not straight out of the encyclopedia, back in the day. Funny thing, though, I'm an internet junkie of sorts, but mostly to read. I spend about half my time on some kind of reference site. Like, we started thread jacking somewhere on ships of the line and battleships. I spent the next couple of days looking up naval battles in the age of steam, and the development of battleships. Which is a topic I have geeked out on before.

2025 Week 12: Texas @ Georgia
The same people responsible for all that had us preseason 1. We sniff our own 9.95 farts. Shit, we don't sniff em, we huff those motherfuckers.

2025 Week 12: Texas @ Georgia
And this is why I keep saying our OL last year, as talented as it might have been, wasn't championship caliber. It wilted against UGa (x2) and tOSU, particularly in the run game. That may have been partially the RB's fault, but only partially.

2025 Week 12: Texas @ Georgia
Ackshually, they probably are. They've been stacking talent wood longer than we have, and possibly/probably more intelligently. By most accounts, their DL is down from last year. But within the expected delta of a team of its stature. We've gone wildly outside the expected delta with subpar OL recruiting/development. And they are positioned to make us pay. That's before you get to coaching, and offensive skill position talent, which are either too subjective or intertwined with OL performance, or both. That's not to say we can't or won't win, but I think UGa is, overall, a better team than we are.

Government Shutdown 2025: This Time It’s Personal
So ACA recipients, like myself, are getting fucked early, but as fewer poors have healthcare, we're all gonna pay the hospital tax and everyone's premium is going up.

Good catch. Yes, senior judges do not count against the "quota' of district judges in a district. They are already retired and take as many cases as they want and the Chief Judge will permit. "Vacancies" of senior status judges are not "filled." To qualify, you must be 65 and served 15 years, or whatever combination of age over 65 and years of service is 80 or more. When one takes senior status, which is optional, one goes off the normal rotation of cases, taking only what you "want." That does create a district judge vacancy. But there's no such thing as a "senior status" vacancy that's filled by a district judge, creating an opportunity for appointment. There's no quota or minimum or maximum of senior judges.

Do I get to start the James Talarico thread?
Off-topic, but I didn't realize Axios was dumb/right. A couple of the media bias sites have it rated as truthful with a middle bias. I don't read it real often, but what I have seen seems to fit that. Also, Jonathan Swan's (second?) Trump interview was one of the better examples of someone standing up to the bullshit. But, whatever.

I assume that we all know that illegal aliens or undocumented are not eligible for most of those things. The one exception being states that allow medicaid for undocumented persons. And for it to work for the ACA subsidies, you have to file a tax return and pay taxes.

That leads to a broken hip, marrow dislodged in his bloodstream and a huge embolism that makes blood shoot out his eyeballs and ear holes.

As evidenced by that last takeway, even letting him TRY to put it in the air is dangerous.
