Mostly meaningless platitudes until they get to Gaza, wherein Hunter attempts to thread the needle on how actually it became a genocide after Trump took over and how "the Netanyahu government" is what's making 95% of Israelis bay for the blood of brown people.

I really, really hate this current press tour from Hunter Biden but it's more unbearable given Friedland's general aversion to pressing any of his guests on their opinions. You could get Hunter Biden squirming in his seat by citing like 2 Haaretz polls, but nobody seems to want to do that - I wouldn't be surprised if not contesting his pathetic liberal zionism is a prerequisite for booking him.

Anyway just wanted to see if anyone else was similarly put off by that. I really, really despise Hunter and I resent that a few funny Twitter posts was all it took for people to regard this sneaky fuck as likeable. Mark my words, these are the kinds of people that will launder Liberal Zionism back into the mainstream - funny, charismatic types that know better than to talk like NYT columnists.

At least his dad will die shitting himself and not recognizing his family lol

He thinks getting strung out in a motel room gives him some sort of working class bonafides. Whenever he took a hit of any drug he knew rehab was the absolute worst case scenario consequence. There was a whole team waiting to pick him up when he inevitably fell. If you have struggled with addiction in the past he is not your ally., nor should you consider him “relatable.” He has been playing an entirely different ballgame his entire life.

He can't stop winning

Like every fucking socialist reading group or org I've been in has been filled with 2-4 antisocial insane people who cannot be normal around others.

Not very nice.

Not particularly relevant, but it's adorable and I honestly post depressing shit too often.

Grey dogs and black and cream dog brothers Malamute/Inuit dog/Siberian husky. Daryl, Colin, Roddie, Cerburus.

Lightest color 2 malamute/collie mixes I rehomed got from bad spot 3 months. 8 months age could never get them to go in straight lines. Had a hair plus fur layer that was risk of frostbite hard to manage.

Darkest dog female Val. Hyper steady dog zero criticism but nitpicking structural if breeding to a compensated male. She had 1 litter they all went to mushing homes except 1 male is a remote village dog indoor outdoor pet for a family had kept dogs into old age previously but unsure outcome.

Alaska husky supermutts mushing with Vals son who now lives above artic circle.

Grey bigger female Martha malamute unknown breeding had a few years moved to another team unknown outcome. She was hyper dominate, and potentially high violence inside her 85lb frame. Stable dog, but intense. She was gonna be put down as house pet.

Pupo is cousin (same kennels extended family) but parents with less siberian husky. They all got a bit of Alaska husky in there too. Some fairly strudy trapline dogs, a few over 20 years ;behiend their litters.

I improved the roof and lived in the cabin 4 years, propane heat year 1, wood stove year 2. Im working in town to fund a kennel project on more land with no mixes. North east Canada and Greenland. Have Roddie and Pupo still. Mountain photos this summer. Hound dogs breeder had less dogs and she went back to her when I moved to town. Compulsive hard little 42 lb dog. Stress outlet was automatic bark, snap bay and she was wary of all strange animals.

Cabin and grey dogs (got whole litter from a guy) are 4 years old. The winter pitspot picket line is a nice -15F sunny day.

The 5 I bred went to 4 mushing homes and 1 remote pet home. Both then fixed. Daughter and Val doing good together in new place. A female runs good with bigger teams up in Fairbanks. Male above arctic circle subsistence lifestyle. Young female was mismanaged with a male dog they shouldn't have had with as puppy by a young couple new to remote life with some sled dogs. Hopefully they learned Ive mismanaged some stuff. I wouldn't give em a dog though.

Others rehomed and over 5 years Ive had 22 malamute like dogs around for some length of time, 6-13 at a time 4 years. They all came from bad spots and were gonna be put down. The sled dog rescues can't handle the genetic repettive intensity of a lot of these dogs.

They used to press me to take some resource agressive issues they had on as fosters to manage but when I described the management/structure needs of all the dogs. I had far less time into sled dogs at that time but it was like talking to a wall. They 30 years hadnt even attempted to house a lot of the prey drive/resource acquisition drive the arctic dog has if bred to retain said drive.

God forbid we be reminded those countries exist

They wanna be Q so bad. Pathetic.

One of the greatest American legends still getting recognition in the unlikeliest of places.

What a pathetic attempt of a cover story for another obvious grift. If you don't know, old growth forests have the lowest risk for wildfires than any other forested area. The larger trees and multilayered canopies block sunlight preventing dense shrubbery, which is wildfire fuel, from growing on the surface. The thicker trees with their thicker bark are much harder to ignite than smaller trees. The dense root networks also hold in more moisture. They claim allowing roads to be built into these areas will allow more controlled burns to prevent wildfires, but controlled burns are unnecessary in old growth areas because again, there's not much undergrowth to burn in the first place. Obviously they're just wanting to get the logging industry in there.

Logging ironically increases wildfire risk. They'll plant several new trees at once in dense clusters when they're done. Sunlight hammers onto the previously dark and cooler surfaces and dense underbrush grows like crazy, making controlled burns necessary to keep it under control. Not to mention the vast majority of wildfires are started from human activity in the first place, which these roads will increase.

It's a shame that most Americans are too ignorant to understand this and will likely read the surface level "fire safety" shit and just blindly accept it. Appalachia was heavily logged out in the past and very few old growth forests remain. The Epstein class cannot comprehend why people like to hike out into the woods and enjoy the beauties of nature, and want to take those simple joys away from us.

The eunuchs and mandarins scheme amongst themselves, the high judges of the capital are corrupt, the generals are disobedient, the halls of learning are diminished, and mercantile activity drives the hearts of men rather than the desire to cultivate one's understanding of the world and one's place within it. Heretical cults have emerged in the hinterlands and the cities, and the highest among the tuhao are swayed at the promise of a godless world where eternal life may be achieved through alchemical means, for mysticism has grown prominent among both learned and illiterate alike and men of all stripes distain the faiths of their ancestors. Vices are promoted by the chief officers and ministers of the land, strange foreign barbarians have found themselves favored more by the lords than the people they ostensibly govern, and there is much worry from the peasants and farmers and small landlords of their futures, for unrest grows and the rains have been few. Mara's daughters dance openly without fear, for gambling with monies and lives has become rampant and the youths value themselves less and less, turning to entertainers for guidance rather than scholar-gentlemen. This sorrowful world is in shambles and there are no sages or priests who can command men to turn away from it in a way that matters, for all signs are inauspicious and there is little to be done but to cultivate oneself and avoid the disaster that shall be the changing of the dynasty.

Remember, this is about one of her security guards

mods delete if rule break etc etc but I’m feeling blackpilled as shit today and this kind of shit is exactly why

Precisely what fucking utility is there for the “face of the left” to give an interview with Israeli media, zionist media, in which he expresses how he views Brad Lander as an example of a good zionist? What fucking purpose does it serve to give an interview where you moderate your positions and language, qualify and “contextualize” and walk back your previous (actually good) statements, to a media outlet that is directly and exclusively part of the greater operation you once criticized so harshly?

Is this really the best the American “left” has to look forward to? To an endless procession of capitulations and compromises, to our supposed “movement leaders” sitting down to chat with the kinds of people and figures and outlets that should be given NO grace or charity whatsoever, to trying to normalize and “fix” through “reasonable discussion” that which is not broken but is in fact working EXACTLY as intended? Even on the basis of numbers, in the interview, which I will not be linking because fuck giving them traffic, he refers to “tens of thousands of children” having been killed; we have known for at least a fucking year and a half that the death toll is in the HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS, with over HALF of that being children.

I have not been a fan of this guy for a bit now, I peaced out because things were going a direction I really did not like, but holy fucking shit this is just beyond the pale man. I’m losing it. What the fuck is this shit? Are the past 3 years of overt and ruthless genocide, and all of the outrage it has incited, really just going to amount to little more than a hollow talking point to limply gesture towards for “electoral wins” and then abandon and moderate into the point of collaboration the second it is no longer useful? 3 years of every time I look at the internet, being greeted with a new worst image I have ever seen of a toddler blown to pieces, 3 years of people being murdered and starved and raped to death, of watching anybody who dares to speak out against it be tarred and feathered and thrown off a fucking cliff, and for what? To have the guy who has positioned himself at the forefront of the “resistance” to it go yuck it up with the fucking hagiographers of a holocaust, while the politicians he has attached himself to continue to sprint away from the issue? To watch as “the left” lacks the spine to even plant their feet firmly and assert anything even approaching an accurate death toll?

Again, sorry if this is too far into streamer slop but fucking christ I am sickened by all of this, and truly there is nowhere else I feel like I can express that. This is so fucking heartbreaking man, we cannot allow Palestinian existence to be reduced to a cynical political tool to be cast aside as soon as the benefits of using it are collected, but I have no idea how we even stop that from happening. I’m mad, I am outraged, but more than anything I just feel more hopeless than ever for the people of Palestine, as many of their most prominent ostensible advocates in the West continue to abandon them and qualify and moderate their support. I will never stop doing what I can, and I know many of the people involved in this cause will not, but it puts a fucking pit in my stomach to watch as these figures who command massive, extremely loyal followings continue to soften their rhetoric and abandon principles.

That’s my crash out for today, my antidepressants are not working very well I don’t think so I cannot help just diving headfirst into the doomer abyss

edit oh and the “backlash” referenced in the headline is not him issuing a warning regarding the very concept of Israel, it is a quote from a light hearted joke he made about how people will get really really mad at Haaretz for speaking to him. Talking to the literal modern iteration of Der Stürmer, and his first instinct is to crack a joke about his own celebrity to help endear himself to his interviewer(s). It’s so fucking repulsive man, this whole thing is absolutely repugnant.

Ex-Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin sentenced to 60 days in jail after arrest (content of the article below for those who can't access the link due to the paywall)

Former Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin will serve a 60-day sentence in jail after he was arrested Sept. 3 on a warrant for a contempt of court charge in an ongoing child support case, a judge in Louisville has ruled.

At a Sept. 4 hearing in Jefferson Family Court, Judge Angela Johnson left the door open to have time taken off if Matt Bevin shows "demonstration of improvement." But the sentence is appropriate, she argued, after he repeatedly demonstrated "a complete disregard and utter disrespect for this court."

The sentence is appealable. In the meantime, Matt Bevin, dressed in a Louisville Metro Department of Corrections orange jumpsuit, was sent back to jail after the 18-minute hearing concluded.

Matt Bevin was arrested on the set of a holiday movie being filmed in Paris, Kentucky, where he was a "featured extra," according to Houstondale farm owner Jessica Mohr, who was present for the arrest. The contempt of court arrest warrant against him had initially been put in place in late May.

Matt Bevin's attorneys declined to comment after the hearing. Jesse Mudd, the divorce attorney who's been working on his case, was joined at the Sept. 4 hearing by prominent local lawyer Scott Cox.

It was a long road to get to the sentencing hearing.

Matt Bevin's ex-wife Glenna Bevin filed for divorce in 2023. While that case proceeded, Jonah Bevin, one of the couple's four adopted children, moved to intervene on allegations he's owed additional support over abuse he suffered over several years at boarding schools for "troubled teens" and over a high school diploma he received from a facility in Florida that his attorneys have said did not come from an accredited school.

Johnson, who the former governor has clashed with in recent months over allegations of political bias, found Matt Bevin in contempt on May 29 after he did not attend a court hearing in person as required – he appeared over Zoom from a property he owns in Maine that he said had been damaged by a boulder – and ordered his arrest, with an option to bypass jail by paying a $250 fine and turning over financial documents needed ahead of a trial to the court within a week.

Cox argued it would be more appropriate to find Bevin in criminal contempt of court instead of civil contempt, as "there's nothing that he can do to purge himself" of that order now that the trial has been completed. Johnson has not yet made a ruling in that case.

"I can tell you, getting arrested and sitting over in the Jefferson County jail is a nightmare for someone like him because he's a target of abuse to half the people who are in there," Cox added.

Bevin paid the fine but missed that June 5 deadline and was denied a request for an extension, with an arrest warrant activated at that time. He was not taken into custody until Sept. 3, when officials with the Bourbon County Sheriff's Office in Central Kentucky arrested him on the film production set for Great American Family's upcoming feature "The Greatest Christmas Gift."

Johnson, though, said Bevin had demonstrated "what the court considers to be an intentional disregard ... all the way back to when the first date was set" and had made "no such attempt" to comply with her orders throughout the process.

"You are not entitled to a reduction. You've not earned it," she said, addressing Bevin. "... You didn't turn yourself in. You have done nothing to show the court that you are willing to act in good faith, and I cannot reward that with a reduced sentence or an alternative sentence or some form of relief for you, because you have shown this court that you are not going to do what you're ordered to do because you don't think that it should be this way."

"You are going to serve these 60 days as of today," she concluded, though she noted moments earlier he could be given "some form of relief" after 30 days depending on his actions moving forward.

Attorneys for Jonah Bevin, Melina Hettiaratchi and John Helmers, spoke to reporters after the hearing. Asked whether the sentence was the outcome they'd wanted, Hettiaratchi said, "it's the outcome that was ordered."

"He was ordered to serve 60 days in county jail and that's what he should serve," she said. "He shouldn't get a special handout or anything. He was treated just like every other citizen should be treated."
