In my neck of the woods, the Seafood and Wine Festival, Newport, where most people will sip and slurp and chew, believing that wine tasting gets you closer to the beautiful people’s realm.

“Last year, there were about 10,000 chowder tastings,” Patterson said. “We are also working on getting more celebrity judges. (Newport) Mayor Jan Kaplan will be one of the judges this year.”

Sustainability is also encouraged, with composting to reduce the waste generated by more than 165 vendors. The Ruby Wine Club will offer premium options for enthusiasts, with the Music Tent and Beer Garden gathering people together.

Fucking cattle, man, inside a plastic tent with parking lot surface below . . . FUCKING HELL.,

Ahh, putting two and two together . . . . ‘Our spotted owl’: Oregon crabbers come out in force against proposed whale entanglement rules

[A humpback whale entanglement on Nov. 16, 2025 off the Oregon coast sparked a petition for Oregon to update its crab fishing rules.] Just south of where I live, Waldport!

Humpback whales off the Oregon coast this time of year are moving south and snacking along the way. After spending spring and summer feeding in the cold, food-rich waters off Oregon, Washington and California, they mostly migrate in late fall to warm winter breeding areas off Mexico and Central America, where they mate and give birth.

Because of their long migration and feeding habits, humpback whales are the species most likely to get tangled in fishing and crab gear, according to data collected by NOAA Fisheries.

And, so, drumroll, which is the dirtiest part of the planet’s Homo Consumpethicus? Carbon Footprint: If the U.S. military were a country, its fuel usage alone would rank it as the 47th largest emitter of greenhouse gases in the world.

• Fuel Consumption: It is the largest single institutional consumer of oil, using over 100 million barrels annually.
• Global Pollution: The Pentagon generates more toxins than the top five major U.S. chemical companies combined.
• Operational Waste: Military operations, including the use of burn pits in Iraq and Afghanistan, have caused significant air, land, and water pollution

Satellite data and maritime tracking services place the Ford roughly four days from the Arabian Sea, assuming it maintains its current speed. That timeline would position the carrier and its strike group within range of Iranian territory and capable of integrating with the USS Abraham Lincoln, already operating in the northern Arabian Sea.

Spotted Owls, uh?

Based on analyses of satellite imagery, military experts, and United Nations reports, the destruction in the Gaza Strip since October 2023 has been described as one of the most intense and devastating bombing campaigns in modern history. The scale of destruction has been compared to, or in some aspects surpassed, the allied bombings of German cities during World War II, as well as the destruction seen in conflicts like Aleppo, Mosul, and Mariupol.

Good to know these dirty people at least are not adding to the crab versus humpback whale problem: Jews who keep kosher cannot eat shellfish. The Torah permits eating only water-dwelling creatures that have both fins and scales. Shellfish—including lobster, shrimp, crab, oysters, and clams—lack these, making them forbidden (trefah).

Fucked up people: Why Aren’t Shellfish Kosher? By Yehuda Shurpin

The basic answer that most (myself included) would be tempted to give is simply that in order for a fish to be kosher, it needs to have both fins and scales.¹ Since shellfish do not have these signs, they are not kosher.

In fact, I was inclined to just refer you to my article Are Bottom Feeders Kosher Fish? which, among other things, discusses the theory that bottom dwellers, including most shellfish, aren’t kosher since they’re unhealthy.

However, there’s more to the story.

Let’s delve into this by first discussing a fascinating incident that caused great controversy in the halachic world for a few hundred years.

The Story of the Stincus Marinus

Rabbi Gershon Shaul Yom-Tov Lipmann Heller (c. 1579–1654), better known as the Tosafot Yom Tov after his classic commentary on the Mishnah, writes that while he was chief rabbi of Vienna, a certain Rabbi Aharon Rofei (“Rabbi Aharon the doctor”) brought before him a Stincus marinus, described as a poisonous aquatic animal that had scales and four legs but no fins, and asked whether it was kosher.²

Now, if it had no fins, would it not be obvious that it was not kosher? Not exactly, since the Talmud states that “whatever has scales has fins as well.”³ This means that halachically, if you find a piece of fish that only has scales on it and you don’t see any fins, it is still kosher, since any fish that has scales also has fins. But it was clear that this Stincus marinus had scales but no fins.

If this creature was not kosher, then what is the meaning of the Talmudic statement? And if it was somehow kosher, as perhaps the legs themselves were considered a sort of fin, how could we say that the Torah permits a poisonous fish to be eaten?

In his final analysis, Rabbi Heller opined that there is a distinction between “fish” and “creatures of the water,” which dwell in the water but do not look like fish.

The rule of the Talmud that “whatever has scales has fins as well” only applies to regular fish, but not to other creatures of the sea. Thus, although they too need both fins and scales to be kosher, if they only have scales, no presumption can be made about them having fins as well. Therefore, Rabbi Heller ruled that the Stincus marinus was not kosher.⁴

However the debate about this creature raged on for many years.⁵

Some rabbis were of the opinion that there is no true halachic distinction between creatures of the water and regular fish, and the rule that “whatever has scales has fins as well” applied to this creature as well. Thus, in all likelihood this creature either had at one point (or would eventually grow) fins and was therefore in fact a kosher creature.⁶ As to the question of poisonous creatures being kosher, they argued that it wasn’t really a question, as there are many poisonous plants that are technically kosher.

Yet others were of the opinion that not only is there a distinction between fish and creatures of the water, but the kosher fish signs also do not even apply to “creatures of the water” that aren’t truly fish. Therefore, even if these creatures would have both fins and scales, they still would not be kosher.⁷ Consumption of these creatures would be a transgression of the prohibition “Do not eat of the swarming creatures of the waters.”⁸

Yep, these fucking people: Alex Karp, another Jewish Supremacist with tools in his hand that should make any decent person shudder. Yes, he fanatically uses these tools TO MURDER our people. But he is sneaking them in literally everywhere.
Palantir is deadly; and Palantir is AGAINST YOU.

Shattered concrete, dirty water and asbestos: Israeli bombing causes ‘unparalleled’ ecological crisis in Gaza. Contaminated air, land and water has put region at risk of multiple public health and environmental emergencies, report says

“Gaza’s environment is in freefall – poisoned water, ruined croplands, and a shattered power grid are pushing the territory to the brink,” said David Lehrer from the Arava Institute for Environmental Studies and one of the report’s authors.

“What we are witnessing is not just a humanitarian catastrophe but an ecological collapse that threatens the very possibility of recovery. Gaza’s farmland has been decimated, and sewage seeps into the soil, polluting shared groundwater and setting the stage for outbreaks of waterborne disease that could spread beyond Gaza’s borders.”

Yeah, spotted owls? Nah, baby and newborne and gestating cancers and hormone swarms. Massie seeks to undo Trump’s pro-glyphosate executive order. This is the legacy of the Carnival, the fucking whoring Capitalist Carnival.

Trump this week stoked MAHA fury by issuing an executive order that seeks to “ensure an adequate supply” of glyphosate as a national security issue and grant “immunity” to makers of the pesticide under the Defense Production Act.

Kennedy defended the president’s order in an earlier statement.

“Donald Trump’s Executive Order puts America first where it matters most — our defense readiness and our food supply,” he said. “We must safeguard America’s national security first, because all of our priorities depend on it. When hostile actors control critical inputs, they weaken our security. By expanding domestic production, we close that gap and protect American families.”

Forget the spotted owl and whale!

“The public does not want to go back to the days of rampant old-growth clearcutting. They don’t want to go back to dead salmon and polluted rivers, or see their favorite places on public lands liquidated in order to maximize profits for the greedy few,” said Chandra LeGue, an advocate with the nonprofit conservation group Oregon Wild, in a statement. “These are treasured public lands, and we’re going to fight for them.”

Federal officials are attempting to open up millions of acres of forests in western Oregon for “maximum” timber production to “advance Trump administration priorities,” including areas that are home to federally protected, vulnerable species, the Bureau of Land Management announced.

The agency on Thursday shared in a notice of intent that officials will propose new updates to the Western Oregon Resource Management Plans that have governed logging and conservation on 2.5 million acres of forests in 17 Oregon counties for decades, and that were last updated in 2016. The notice kicks off a month-long public comment period that will wrap on March 23. The agency does not expect to hold any public meetings in advance of releasing its proposal, the notice said.

About three-quarters of the 2.5 million federal acres, known as O&C lands for having once belonged to the Oregon and California Railroad, are protected from regular logging. But in its notice of intent, the land management bureau indicated it could return those acres to 1960s harvest levels, at times more than 10 times average harvest levels over the last two decades.

“Bringing timber production back to historic levels is essential for reviving local economies and reducing the threat of catastrophic wildfires,” said acting director of the land management bureau, Bill Groffy, in a statement. “President Trump has made it clear — enhanced domestic timber production is vital for our national security, economic prosperity, and effective wildfire management.”

It seemed like a dream job. The 20-something social media manager had been hired to tell the stories of a remote national park in Alaska, and was supposed to start in October 2025. But when October came around, a National Park Service hiring manager said there was an issue with “clearance.”

Weeks passed. Then months. Finally, in early 2026, the hiring manager called: The new employee could fly in and get settled at the national park’s staff housing. Three days after starting the job, though, the employee found out in a group video conference with regional officials that the position had been canceled.

“I don’t think anyone else on the call realized they were talking about me,” the employee told SFGATE under the condition of anonymity, which was granted in compliance with Hearst’s ethics policy, because they are afraid of losing their job and future employment opportunities. “It was kind of unreal.”

The sudden job cut left them stranded in a remote area of Alaska with no job, no money to buy groceries and not even access to unemployment benefits, as the Park Service maintained that they were never actually hired.

RFK Jr.’s estranged wife found dead

Granddaughter of Robert F. Kennedy Dies After Overdose at Family’s Compound –

RFK Jr., nominated by President-elect Donald Trump to head the Department of Health and Human Services, has spoken openly about his own 14-year battle with addiction to heroin.

But his “best friend,” brother David, didn’t make it. He died at age 28 of a drug overdose at the Brazilian Court Hotel in April 1984. David Kennedy’s autopsy showed a mixture of cocaine, the painkiller, Demerol, and the tranquilizer, Mellaril.

David was the fourth child of Robert F. and Ethel Kennedy and RFK Jr. was the third, two years older than David.

Seven months before David died, his older brother had been arrested in Rapid City, South Dakota, on heroin possession charges after he became sick on an airliner. The 29-year-old was released by police and joined a drug rehabilitation program a few days later in September 1983.

When the family got together for Easter at the Kennedy estate at 1095 N. Ocean Blvd., David reportedly got thrown out because he was intoxicated and was acting erratic.

It’s not clear whether RFK Jr. was also there.

But in addition to David, news accounts put two other brothers at the compound.

RFK Jr. said this year that he had attended 40 years of 12-step meetings to escape “drugs, sex, alcohol or extreme behavior” and still does.

He said on a Latino Capitalist podcast in July that he wants the government to create free “wellness farms” in rural areas across the country for those battling addiction to “reparent” them away from using both legal and illegal drugs.

The government would pay for those in recovery to grow food on organic farms for three or four years with a sales tax on cannabis products, according to “Mother Jones.”

There you go: Billionaire bosses like Jeff Bezos and Reid Hoffman denounce work-life balance—and some think working nonstop is key to success

Jeff Bezos, founder of retail giant Amazon (left), and LinkedIn cofounder Reid Hoffman are dismissive of the word “balance”—and they’re not alone. Bezos is just one of many CEOs who view their work and personal lives the same way; Microsoft boss Satya Nadella also thinks that work-life balance isn’t the goal, but rather “harmony” is the objective. Meanwhile, Nespresso U.K. CEO Anna Lundstrom aims for “work-life fluidity” because she doesn’t believe separating the two is possible when you’re at the top.

“He doesn’t recognize you. Maybe you should just let him die and move down to Florida.”
