It's OK with me! I've already scanned all of them and it'll just make my copies more valuable in the future! Now I want them to re-edit the movies to make JB less cis-gender masculine to someone FABULOUS! SNAP!!
[1819News] A whistleblower in the Auburn University Black Student Union (BSU) claims to have retrieved a Google Doc from a group message associated with the organization, which lists over 250 racial slurs for white people, including "failed child sacrifice abortions," "diseased neanderthals" and more.
The whistleblower sent the document and screenshots of the group message on the popular group messaging app GroupMe to Auburn student Jaden Heard, who leaked the information to Turning Point USA (TPUSA), a conservative campus organization. TPUSA published a short article about the findings on its website last week.
1819 News spoke to Heard on Thursday morning. Heard said he’s not the whistleblower himself, but rather the whistleblower came to him about the information. The whistleblower chose to remain anonymous.
"From my perspective, it looks like they were just joking around, trying to have a laugh," Heard said. "But I’m also imagining if the roles were reversed ... I’m going to give them the benefit of the doubt, that they were just trying to joke, but at the same time, it was a university-funded organization, and that’s pretty wild."
The document, titled "Creaker Names," contained seven pages of a single-column list of racial slurs. 1819 News obtained a copy of the document from Heard. According to Urban Dictionary, "Creaker" is another word for "cracker," used particularly when referring to an old white man.
Some of the names on this list are labeled "favorite" in parenthesis, such as "Sour Cream Citizen," "bleach demons," "sugar sardines," "dandruff demons," "elbow crust," "dandruff paper," "copy and paste," "skin stealers," "deformed dna," "decomposing form of humanity," "delusional lice," "bobble head white," "ashy, but you can’t see it," "untamed beasts," "crest 3-D whitening strips" and several more.

Ironically, the most racist people I ever met in my life were hard core liberals and blacks. Everyone else has a show me who you are and I'll respect you attitude.

A man in Boston called me a Hillbilly. I said, "you've never been to south Alabama have you:. He said no, why. I said it's as flat as a billiard table. He said, "what's a billiard table?".

[MSN] The Sierra Avalanche Center issued an avalanche warning for a broad stretch of the Sierra that included greater Lake Tahoe, with high avalanche danger expected to threaten skiers until Wednesday morning.
The warning comes as a winter storm makes landfall on the Northern California coast, pushing snowfall totals to their highest levels in decades and expanding the state's snowpack after years of dire drought.
The powerful storm was expected to drop as much as 6 feet of snow on the Sierra crest, meteorologists with the National Weather Service predicted Monday in what they were calling a "significant snowfall" event that could blanket the communities around the Lake Tahoe basin in up to 4 feet of snow.
A blizzard warning took effect at 11 a.m. Monday and will remain in effect until Wednesday morning as meteorologists warned of multiple more rounds of heavy snowfall and sub-zero wind chills before the storm recedes.
The California Highway Patrol discouraged drivers from crossing mountainous roads near the Donner Summit, warning that travelers should "expect long delays, high winds, zero visibility, and road closures." All the passes, e.g., Donner, Echo, Carson will be closed at times the next 48 hours and even at lower elevations, avalanche danger is great. Other winter storms are expected through mid March. On the good side almost all California reservoirs are in excellent condition counting both water in storage and water in snow pack. Also, the valley is not going to be inundated with excessively heavy rain this storm or the next.

Ref # 4 above. In the 20-teens I had occasion to serve on a County Grand Jury in NorCal, and a Donner descendant, by name, was a member. Odd duck is a kind way to describe him.

last night was awful, nearly 40" at the various ski resorts, high winds, all the lifts closed
Donner (I-80) probably closed until Wednesday

Carson Valley has near white-out blowing snow, 20-30 mph gusts, with 6-12 inches expected on top of current 6-inch base. Right now it looks more like Montana or Wyoming than the backside of the Sierra's!
[FoxNews] The Air Force did not say why it had lost confidence in the commanders and leaders.
The Air Force has relieved six leaders assigned to a North Dakota base in charge of nuclear missiles and bombers over a loss of confidence, the military branch said Monday.
Maj. Gen. Andrew J. Gebara, commander of 8th Air Force, relieved Col. Gregory Mayer of the 5th Mission Support Group and Maj. Jonathan Welch of the 5th Logistics Readiness Squadron, both based at Minot Air Force Base. The Air Force didn't identify the commanders, but an Air Force spokesperson confirmed their identities to Task & Purpose.
The 5th Bomb Wing operates the B-52H Stratofortress aircraft, which is one of the two types of nuclear-capable bombers that the Air Force uses, the news outlet reported.

As one the commenters stated 'Mission Support Group' and 'Log Readiness Sqdn,' likely rear area folks and maintainers. I suspect a WOKE police action aimed at setting things 'straight' getting everyone else's attention. Just a wild guess.

[ZERO] A newly unearthed interview along with declassified documents point to CIA involvement in the 1962 arrest of anti-apartheid leader Nelson Mandela by the US-friendly apartheid government. At that time, the height of the Cold War, Mandela was seen as part of the Communist opposition.
Time magazine in a new bombshell report asks the question, "Did the CIA Betray Nelson Mandela?" and comes to the conclusion that there was pivotal involvement of America's most powerful spy agency. "Bombshell report" ....? Certainly an ironic term of reference when associated with Nelson Mandela.
The details are coming to light based on the work of Richard Stengel, collaborator on Mandela's autobiography, "Long Walk to Freedom". Stengel revisited an unpublished 1993 audio interview he had captured with Mandela, wherein the famous anti-apartheid activist and eventual South African president told him he had learned that an American consul with CIA connections had briefed South African authorities on Mandela's travel habits.
This would help lead to Mandela's arrest and imprisonment for 27 years as head of the outlawed African National Congress (ANC). Additionally now declassified CIA documents had labeled Mandela "probably communist" and confirmed that the agency had been closely tracking him anytime he went out of South Africa.
This was during the presidency of John F. Kennedy. According to Axios, "Taken together, Stengel says, the details add significantly to the evidence that the CIA was tracking Mandela and helped South African authorities arrest him as he was traveling from Durban to Johannesburg in 1962."
And according to further details revealed in the Time report: Time Magazine, where America's facts are revealed.

....and confirmed that the agency had been closely tracking him anytime he went out of South Africa.
Which simply means they were doing their job. I doubt the South African authorities needed any confirmation of his politics or help in locating the communist sob.
The author collaborated with the African National Congress (ANC) with the writing of "Long Walk to Freedom," which puts this article and the book in some perspective. In South Africa, the United States is generally painted with a kak filled brush.
In the 1960 and 1970's timeframe, US policy makers were delighted that the South African Defense Force (SADF) was giving the Cubans and Russians a thrashing in Angola and other regions. The US was involved in more pressing issues in SE Asia. The betrayal however, was to come a bit later.
[BBC] Huge rallies have been held in several Mexican cities against what protesters say are government attempts to undermine the electoral authorities.
The biggest was in Mexico City, where organisers say 500,000 people marched on the city's main plaza. The local government put the number at 90,000.
Lawmakers last week voted to slash the budget of the National Electoral Institute (INE) and cut its staffing.
President Andrés Manuel López Obrador accuses the INE of being partisan.
But opponents describe the recent vote as an attack on democracy itself, pressing the Supreme Court to overturn them as unconstitutional.
On Sunday, massive crowds gathered in Mexico City's historic Zocalo Square. The demonstrators spilled out into adjoining streets in the city centre.
"We're fighting to defend our democracy," protester Veronica Echevarria was quoted as saying by Reuters. She was wearing a cap emblazoned with the words "Hands off the INE". Many demonstrators carried cards with a similar slogan.
Smaller peaceful demonstrations were staged in several other cities.
Mexico's Senate approved the reforms on Wednesday, following a similar vote in the lower chamber of parliament. The reforms will come into force once they are signed by President López Obrador.
The BBC's Mexico correspondent, Will Grant, says it is perhaps the most polemic political issue in Mexico at present.
Mr López Obrador, who was elected in July 2018 after two previous failed attempts, has long been critical of the INE, whose staff oversee elections.
Last month, he accusing the independent body of cheating, and said its staff turned a blind eye to "the stuffing of ballot boxes, falsification of [election] records and vote buying".
In his first attempt at becoming president, in 2006, he lost to his conservative rival Felipe Calderón by less than one percentage point. For months, Mr López Obrador refused to recognise the result, which he denounced as fraudulent.
He also challenged the result of the 2012 election, when he lost to Enrique Peña Nieto.
Since his win in 2018, Mr López Obrador has been pushing for a reform of the INE, which he says will save taxpayers $150m (£125m) a year by drastically reducing the agency's staff.
[Dawn] Twitter Inc has laid off at least 200 employees, or about 10 per cent of its workforce, the New York Times
... which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize... reported late on Sunday, in its latest round of job cuts since Elon Musk took over the micro-blogging site last October.
The layoffs on Saturday night impacted product managers, data scientists and engineers who worked on machine learning and site reliability, which helps keep Twitter’s various features online, the NYT report said, citing people familiar with the matter.
Twitter did not immediately respond to a Rooters request for comment.
The company has a headcount of about 2,300 active employees, according to Musk last month.
The latest job cuts follow a mass layoff in early November when Twitter laid off about 3,700 employees in a cost-cutting measure by Musk, who had acquired the company for $44 billion.
Musk said in November that the service was experiencing a "massive drop in revenue" as advertisers pulled spending amid concerns about content moderation.
Twitter recently started sharing revenue from advertisements with some of its content creators.
Earlier in the day, The Information reported that the social media platform laid off dozens of employees on Saturday, aiming to offset a plunge in revenue.

This brings the headcount reduction to 75% from the start point. They were spending a great deal of money paying people who evidently didn't contribute to product.
They haven't made it to profitability but they're a lot closer.

The big regulation issue for the pols and the media was the proposed requirement for electronically controlled pneumatic (ECP) brakes, intended to apply to trainloads of explosive materials.
1. The train in question didn't have enough explosive stuff to qualify, anyway. (NTSB report)
2. I suspect Trump rolled the reg back because zero freight cars have ECP brakes, installation would cost hundreds of millions, and the benefit was undetermined. So it was a 'feel good' rule.
3. ECP brakes electrically signal the same old air (pneumatic) brakes to apply simultaneously, instead of waiting for the air pressure drop in standard brakes to get to the rear cars, so the train stops smoother and faster - each and every time.
4. The East Palestine train was already in braking mode before the hot axle alert. Once the crew got the alert, they increased the braking rate. {4.a Sudden brake application can jacknife trains, something the ECP brakes would reduce, but probably not eliminate. Train dynamics is both science AND art.}
5. When the cars derailed and separated, the whole train goes into emergency braking. That's how the train crew knew there was a derailment a mile behind them.

Thus he establishes positions for the entire Republican party, but especially all those who will be vying for the presidency, and like the Lincoln-Douglas debates, defines where the Democrats will be forced to put themselves. Overton Window locked in!
[FoxNews] Former President Trump's trade policy would eliminate China’s most favored nation trade status and ban federal contracts for companies that outsource to China.
Former President Trump and his 2024 presidential campaign on Monday rolled out his "America First" trade policy that would "tax China to build up America" and focus on rewarding domestic production while imposing tariffs on imported goods.
The former president’s trade policy would "completely eliminate" the United States’ dependence on China by eliminating China’s most favored nation trade status, adopt a four-year plan to phase out all Chinese imports of essential goods, and ban federal contracts for any company that outsources to China.

Corporations like McDonald’s, Starbucks, Tyson Foods, Hormel Foods, Ralph Lauren, and Tapestry Inc. are planning to expand in China. Starbucks, in particular, is banking on rapid growth in the Chinese market to open thousands of new stores.
[JustTheNews] Texans are currently paying between roughly $4 and nearly $9 for a dozen eggs.
As egg prices continue to soar, new bills filed in the state legislature would allow Texans to have chickens in their backyards.
Texans are currently paying between roughly $4 and nearly $9 for a dozen eggs at HEB, for example, equal to or more than the cost of cooked rotisserie chickens.
“Inflationary pressure and the worst avian flu outbreak in U.S. history have combined to send egg prices upward over much of the last year,” David Anderson, Ph.D., AgriLife Extension economist, Bryan-College Station, said in an AgriLife Today report. AgriLife points to a U.S. Department of Agriculture retail egg report showing that a dozen eggs cost $1.79 in December 2021 and $4.25 on average in December 2022 nationwide.
“One reporter in Houston interviewed a backyard producer who told them this is the first time ever that it’s been cheaper to produce eggs than buy them at the store,” Anderson said. “The situation with egg prices is something people are following now, but I think it is also something that happened over the course of time with several factors aligning.”
In response to continued demand, constrained supply and rising prices, Republican and Democratic lawmakers proposed bills to allow more Texans to have egg-laying hens in their backyards.
State Sen. Bob Hall, R-Edgewood, filed SB 326 to amend Chapter 217 of Local Government Code to allow six chickens in a single-family residential lot. The bill allows municipalities to impose some “reasonable regulations.” It also prohibits poultry breeding, raising or keeping roosters, and imposes a minimum distance between a chicken coop and another lot.
In the House, state Rep. Briscoe Cain, R-Baytown, and Rep. Philip Cortez, D-San Antonio, filed similar bills. Cortez’s bill would prohibit municipalities from adopting or enforcing an ordinance that restricts single-family residential lots from growing fruits and vegetable or raising or keeping six or fewer domestic fowl or six or fewer adult rabbits.
His bill also states that municipalities may impose reasonable regulations to control odor, noise, safety, or sanitary conditions that don’t “have the effect of prohibiting the raising or keeping of the fowl or rabbits.”

When I had chickens I kept my neighbor supplied. Now she has chickens and keeps me supplied. I have apple and fig trees and concord grapes. We trade off. Works very well.
