William Teach at Pirate's Cove is first with Bummer: Washington Sees Drop In SNAP Enrollment As “Immigrants” Ditch Program

Per Washington law, Basic Food is restricted from illegal aliens. I wonder how many were on it? Any chance of an audit is pretty much nil in uber-Leftist Washington. Legal immigrants are allowed to get it.

Holly MathNerd - The People's Republic of Vermont: update on a previous prediction

The political center of gravity in Burlington has moved. Not because conservatives won an argument — they did not — but because the conditions on the ground became impossible to defend from inside the coalition that produced them.

William Teach at Pirate's Cove - Bummer: DHS Going After Shady Green Card Holders

Oh, wait, this is a pretty straight article, noting why DHS is looking to strip green cards, which is not something that is actually unusual. In fact, thousands lose their green cards every year.

Clayton Cramer - More Fraud Convictions

A million here, a billion there, to paraphrase Sen. Bayh, after a while, it adds up to real money. If all this welfare state funding was making poor people better off, you might excuse the good intentions.

Disparu - The BBC is DYING and That's a Good Thing. (Video)

The BBC is dying and I'm here to piss on its grave.

Pixy Misa at Ambient Irony - Daily News Stuff 15 May 2026: Octopole Edition

The open source and right-to-repair community has declared war on leading 3D printer maker Bambu Labs. (Tom's Hardware)

At the core of this is Bambu's move to restrict access to its open-source software.

Again from William Teach - Huh: Democrats Upset Over Companies Making Money Off Stopping Illegal Immigration

They aren’t just upset over rounding up illegal alien criminals, they’re also upset that all that government money isn’t coming their way so they can skim it off

Wombat-socho - FMJRA 2.0: Marking Time

No baseball stuff this week, just a poke at Nolan’s inane, politically-correct version of the Odyssey.

Meep at STUMP - Congressional Morbidity: Two Representatives Are Absent

As some of you may know, I have kept tabs on members of Congress (Representatives and Senators) who die while in office.

What about those who are absent?

(There is no leave-taking, as you will see, so I can’t call it AWOL.)

Echo Chamberlain - How To Critique Race-Swap Casting

How many steps are involved in race swapping Nick Fury to Samuel L. Jackson? Basically one – the character is black now, otherwise every fundamental of the character is coherent and in synch.

Now, Let’s look at Lupita Nyongo’s Helen.

The Other McCain - What’s the Over/Under on How Soon Barrett Brown Gets Arrested Again?

Given all the trouble in the world right now, my hunch is that Barrett Brown is somewhere near the bottom of the list of federal law enforcement priorities. It’s been nearly five years since I last devoted a post to him here (“Oh, Dear God: Barrett Brown Again!” July 13, 2021), after he’d gotten himself arrested in England.

Again from Wombat-socho - Rule 5 Monday: Everything Stops For Tea

Apologies for the late, late posting. Things were weird and difficult this weekend.
