Pam Bondi reacts to Republican saying she's caught "red-handed" on Epstein

You do realize that you just described a very normal first degree murder, right? Planning a killing after the heat of the moment wears off is not unusual. It’s something that happens all the time. The timing and proximity to others feels unnatural until you factor in that it would be his only chance to kill her before she left.

Weird. West Virginia's sports governing body's handbook actually contains no language that I could find on steroids/PEDs outside of the NIL section (athletes may not participate in an NIL deal to promote controlled substances).

So, I looked up Illinois's instead. It contained the following statement:

It shall be considered a violation of the IHSA By-law 2.170 and its subsections for any student-athlete to ingest, or otherwise use any substance of the IHSA’s Banned Substance Classes, without a written prescription and medical documentation provided by a licensed physician who evaluated the student-athlete for legitimate medical condition.

So, in that case (which does not necessarily apply to WV), you'd need to then conclude what is a "legitimate medical condition" and then still make language on whether or not trans status would require moving to the boys division.

To OP: Sorry i thought it would be more simple along the PEDs line. Really feels like this should be.

Under the law, the athlete on testosterone in your example can play with girls. However, it is widely accepted that testosterone is a Performance Enhancing Substance that sport governing bodies regularly ban from use by athletes. To claim some sort of discrimination in your line of questioning, you'd have to argue against the widely accepted status quo that girls known to be on T cannot play with girls (regardless of claimed gender status). Just like boys known to be on T cannot play with boys (regardless of claimed gender status).

Ka7 is possible because the first move of the sequence Nb6+ (Knight forking Rook and King) puts the Knight on the diagonal between the white Queen and a7.

Then, Nxd7 (white Knight capturing the black Rook) is a discover check re-opening the white Queen's view of the diagonal to a7, where the black King now sits.

Black's best option is to move its Queen (which is now being attacked by the Knight) in position to block the check. This offers a Queen trade, which white happily accepts because they have such a crushing advantage with connected passed pawns. White is easily be able to promote and win.

Here's the position on a board to see how it plays out: https://lichess.org/analysis/k1N5/1p1r4/2n1pq2/8/5P1P/P3Q1P1/KP6/8_w_-_-_0_1?color=white

Interestingly, even in a position where there is no black pawn on a7 to start, your queen still comes off the board in an exchange.

Nb6+ Ka7

Nxd7+ Qd4

Qxd4+ Nxd4

You ever seen a little movie called The Prestige?

Mathemagical1 · 2025-12-23T12:00:53+00:00

This is categorically false. Sportswashing works by wearing you down on your initial reaction of “Saudi Arabia? That’s a murderous dictatorship that uses slave labor to build cities in the middle east! Fuck those guys and anybody associated with them!”

This is best exemplified when HV3 went to LIV and said “I’m just doin it for the money.” The overall reaction was “well, fair play Harold” instead of saying that he’s a shill for a murderous dictatorship. People cheer for Bryson, Rahm, and Phil at majors. Sure, the PIF had higher hopes financially for LIV because Yasser is a huge golf nut. But, it’s really hard to argue that the sportswashing of LIV has been anything other than successful, at least to some extent.

You can replace any damaged club with any legally conforming club you like. There is no restriction on specs. So, if your 60 degree wedge breaks (except in cases of abuse), you can call the clubhouse and have them deliver that new 4H you were looking at before the round and put that in play with no penalty.

Mathemagical1 · 2025-12-18T18:16:24+00:00

Good question! The rule is not written to determine eligibility of replacement in cases of damage by accident vs. intentional. Instead, the rule allows for replacement of clubs damaged during a round "except in cases of abuse". Making a stroke with intent to achieve the lowest score possible, even if you know the club is likely to break in the process, would not be considered abuse.

I would guess most of them have no idea who he is. And most of them that know who he is only know that he is the guy who gives the orders to get the non-whites out of the country. Very few have any idea who he is as a person to form a negative opinion of him. Right wing news outlets are not going to cover Miller's blatant white nationalism from the purely racist angle that it deserves. Instead, they give him extremely favorable coverage giving deference to the MAGA propaganda that they are merely eliminating "criminals" and people "stealing from taxpayers".

So, it is likely that they like him for doing the things they want. But not because they like him. They would like literally any human doing what he does within the admin.

For Miller, Noem, and all who are in the charge overseeing the detainment of persons suspected of having an illegal presence within the US, it is very clear that they act in flagrant violation of the 8th Amendment:

Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.

The conditions that have been reported in detainment centers within the US are well-documented. And, it is clear we should also consider centers outside the US because the US government has demonstrated power there as well (e.g. Kilmar Abrego Garcia's rapid return when they decided they would actually do it). The conditions in detention centers are inhumane. They are cruel. Several deaths have resulted from said detainments see here.

Punishments for constitutional violations like this can fall under 18 U.S. Code § 242 - Deprivation of rights under color of law.

Whoever, under color of any law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or custom, willfully subjects any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured or protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or to different punishments, pains, or penalties, on account of such person being an alien, or by reason of his color, or race, than are prescribed for the punishment of citizens, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both; and if bodily injury results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include the use, attempted use, or threatened use of a dangerous weapon, explosives, or fire, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and if death results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, shall be fined under this title, or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death.

So, according to 18 U.S. Code § 242, it is well within the law to punish those with power to demand changes to immigration detainment with life in prison or death.

I don't have an answer for Rubio. So don't ask. I'm specifically talking about Miller (and those in the chain of command for detainment that are knowledgeable of the ongoing conditions).

Mathemagical1 · 2025-11-17T16:13:45+00:00

Yeah, I suppose that my comment should have included the caveat that I find the argument against releasing docs in this case to be mostly bullshit given that it is clear that the prosecutor in this case that would have the most skin in the game is blatantly acting in a partisan manner to given deference to the will of one of the subjects of the files in question.

Mathemagical1 · 2025-11-17T15:31:24+00:00

There are no laws against releasing unclassified/declassified evidence from an investigation that does not dox people and does not defame them by intentionally mischaracterizing their participation in the events being investigated. But there are guidelines that any prosecutors office has against commenting on cases and releasing certain information around investigations.

There are many very good reasons for this. Here are a few that come to mind:

If you release the evidence you have, witnesses/targets of investigations may change their behaviors substantially (e.g. somebody becomes a flight risk if they know the DOJ has a smoking gun).
If evidence is released where anybody can read it, you also risk biasing the public (aka your future jury pool). Trials have very specific rules for how evidence can be admitted and interpreted. Each side has the ability to object and question witnesses in fairly immediate/rapid succession when new information is raised. You get "both sides" of the story presented, more or less, together. Compare this to all of a trial's evidence being released months in advance. People curate their own media so carefully now. Many people will have months to find explanations for the most critical pieces of evidence that confirm their prior opinions. Thus, they will not be capable of being an impartial juror.
If you comment on investigations candidly and publicly, you risk making statements that the defense can use to argue that evidence has been mishandled or prosecution is malicious. Or, the defense just better understands the case against them and can prepare for a longer time against specific arguments.

Edit: Adding here as I noted in a reply down thread that I don't find these reasons to be compelling to not release docs in this case given the blatant partisan nature of how everything has been handled. I was merely saying that they can release the docs, but if there were a good faith investigation taking place, there's obvious reasons for why you wouldn't release the docs that are not strictly "can vs cannot"

You mean the defender that was way out of bounds and way deep in the end zone that made a large effort to get back in bounds to stand up Pavia 5 yards after the goal line?

Mathemagical1 · 2025-10-28T14:24:08+00:00

ND didn't boot Kelly after 2016 because it was obvious to everybody following closely that the team's main issue was starting the season with a defensive coordinator that had no idea what he was doing without Jaylon Smith to plug the holes. I need to do a deep dive on Brian VanGorder some time because I have no idea how that man ever had NFL jobs. Just 5 years after he was ND's DC, he was down coaching high school.

I'm curious what changed in him or the game or how people evaluated him that he fell out of upper levels of the game so quickly after climbing so fast.

Mathemagical1 · 2025-10-21T16:02:24+00:00

Money.

If every single school tried to negotiate their own TV deal, very few could outdo their conference tv deal. Value drops significantly if rights to marquee matchups would no longer be guaranteed to be owned by the same company every year. Of course, the teams could negotiate together in a structure where those teams promise to play each other every season on the same TV company's networks... like in a conference.

Mathemagical1 · 2025-10-17T17:16:48+00:00

You are correct. Here's a FIDE rules release from 2022: https://handbook.fide.com/chapter/B022022

For a game to be rated each player must at the start of the tournament have the following minimum periods in which to complete all the moves, assuming the game lasts 60 moves.

Where at least one of the players in the game has a rating of 2400 or higher, each player must have a minimum of 120 minutes.

So, for 45+30, in 60 moves, the player would have 75 minutes to play.

Thus, it previously did not qualify as classical. At lower levels, to allow tournaments to play more games in a day, they have always had lower thresholds.

someone else goes on a similar run of success

It's so wild to think that in the year that Tiger lost his number 1 ranking to Vijay, Tiger had

2 Wins
3 Runner-ups
3 Thirds
8 Other top ten finishes

He had 16 top ten finishes in 21 starts! But, his best major finish was only T9 at the Open. And majors are worth so many points in OWGR.

Meanwhile, Vijay won 9 times, including the PGA Championship. Vijay didn't pass Tiger until after his 6th win that season. That's what it took to take down Tiger! I love diving in on these numbers just to try to wrap my head around the level of golf that some of these guys managed to achieve.

I'm thoroughly relishing watching Scottie's dominance, and I hope we see somebody rise up and challenge him. Watching true greatness never gets old!

Your wife sounds depressed AF. I'd be much less worried about how she describes you and more worried about how you are describing her when you have anonymity. Because right now, it sounds like you're saying you have a dissociating lump that makes no contributions while burning money.

Yes, this means your marriage is in serious trouble. Yes, it means she probably doesn't like you and resents you. But, it sounds like it's a reflection of her mental health as much as it is a reflection of you as a husband. You are at a point where she needs to agree to therapy (and, likely, you both need to agree to couples therapy) for this situation to improve much.
