Never in the modern era has Ohio had a government as unscrupulous as this one.

All three branches -- executive, legislative and judicial -- have made major contributions to the dismemberment of the state’s reputation. Two of them, the legislative and judicial branches, lack any redeeming qualities, acting and ruling in ways that show utter contempt for Ohio’s citizenry, its constitution and the rule of law.

For Gov. Mike DeWine, head of the executive branch, the past two years have been the most damaging of his 50 years in public life. DeWine’s entanglement in elements of a $60 billion bribery scheme involving Akron-based FirstEnergy Corp. has tarnished his legacy, with every new revelation reflecting poorly on his judgment.

Of course, governments and elected officials at all levels have accomplishments to brag about. And DeWine has more than this legislature or Supreme Court. But the rot of wrongdoing is pervasive. Far too often, this is a state government that has abused its trust in ways that have been corrupt, unethical, dishonest, illegal, disingenuous, incompetent and misleading.

Exhibit A in making the case for the awfulness is the state legislature, a place now heavily populated by far-right extremists and likely to become more so following the 2024 election. Former Speaker Larry Householder is gone. A co-captain of the FirstEnergy scheme to pass House Bill 6 and fleece the company’s ratepayers, Householder is serving a 20-year sentence in federal prison for his crimes against the people of Ohio. Many of his followers in the legislature remain.

The Ohio Senate is now led by Matt Huffman, a leading contender to be the next speaker of the Ohio House and a man so arrogant he bragged to the Columbus Dispatch in 2022, “We kind of do what we want.”

Until last year, that boast seemed true, as the legislature took indefensible actions simply because its leaders could pretty much do what they wanted. Two examples: reducing funding increases proposed by DeWine for quality preschool and prohibiting cities (especially large ones filled with Democratic voters) from governing themselves.

But this legislature’s most disqualifying acts have involved putting at risk the lives of Ohio children by removing reasonable restrictions on access to handguns and assault-style weapons. Allowing the widespread availability of weapons built for the purpose of slaughtering dozens of human beings in a matter of seconds is what Ohio’s ruling Republican elite regards as an essential element of “freedom.” That thinking is detached from any definition of reality.

“Do something about the guns flooding our streets,” Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginter begged state officials last August, in a desperate plea to curb gun violence claiming the lives of children and teenagers.

The reaction of Ohio’s esteemed leaders seems to have been, “Let them eat bullets.”

DeWine, a chameleon on the issue of guns who has obliterated a 2019 promise to the people of Ohio on this life-and-death issue, has signed into law each and every extremist gun bill sent his way.

Shame on them all for genuflecting to the gun lobby and its supporters. No one with a conscience could sleep at night.

In 2022, state “leaders” ignored the Ohio Constitution by drawing legislative districts designed to remove any element of fairness from Ohio’s election process. All the culprits, determined to preserve their supermajority by drawing hideously gerrymandered legislative districts, ignored warnings about their illegality from four of the Ohio Supreme Court’s seven members.

That commonsense majority on the state’s highest court no longer exists. Three of the court’s seven members - Chief Justice Sharon Kennedy, Justices Pat DeWine and Pat Fischer - proved themselves hopelessly unfit with their refusals to acknowledge that Joe Biden is a legitimately elected president.

The fourth, Joe Deters, has never been a judge at any level and was probably appointed by the governor at the behest of his son, Pat. Nepotism has always been an important part of the DeWine family business. In 2019, FirstEnergy and others made dark money contributions to Alice DeWine’s failed race for Greene County prosecutor. Much of the money contributed on behalf of the governor’s daughter probably came from people who couldn’t find Greene County on a map.

Last year, voters finally had enough of Ohio’s clown show government, crushing a ballot issue scheme to muzzle voters with an offensive assault on their right to self-government. The governor, every other statewide officeholder and a large majority of the legislature wanted to raise the bar for passing constitutional amendments from a simple majority to 60%. Three months later, those same state officeholders failed again, this time in their opposition to an abortion rights ballot issue.

Meanwhile, at Youngstown State University, a board of trustees appointed largely by this governor is busily at work wrecking the reputation of a school whose success is directly tied to the Mahoning Valley’s economic future. With donations to YSU from wealthy area residents who care deeply about the Youngstown area evaporating, DeWine has nevertheless embraced the board’s decision to hire former U.S. Rep. Bill Johnson as the school’s president. Johnson brought to the job a decidedly mediocre record in Congress and not one second of experience in education. For that, he will be paid $410,000 a year.

The travesty in Youngstown adds to evidence Ohio is becoming a double-standard state. DeWine would have never allowed this to happen at a school anywhere near Columbus, nor at Miami University near his hometown. The regional bias at work here is clear.

But there’s nothing regional about the House Bill 6 scandal and the aftermath that casts this governor in a most unflattering light. We should not be surprised, as DeWine has long been a reliable instrument of FirstEnergy’s sordid ways, his cozy relationship with the utility dating back to the early 1990s.

From 2017 to early 2021, FirstEnergy and its related businesses and employees donated more than $1 million to DeWine’s election efforts, an investigation by the Dayton Daily News revealed. A day after DeWine met with FirstEnergy officials at a Republican fundraiser in downtown Columbus in October 2018, the electric utility wrote a $500,000 check to the Republican Governors Association that was funneled into DeWine’s campaign for governor.

Two months later, when DeWine was governor-elect, FirstEnergy bosses dined with DeWine and Lt. Gov.-elect Jon Husted at the Columbus Athletic Club. That dinner almost certainly set the stage for DeWine eventually naming FirstEnergy stooge Sam Randazzo as the state’s top utility regulator.

Randazzo lasted less than two years as chairman of the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio, resigning after an FBI raid of his Columbus home. He is now awaiting trial on 33 criminal charges in state and federal indictments that could send him to prison for life.

We haven’t heard the last of FirstEnergy’s dirty deeds. Later this year, Randazzo will go on trial in Cincinnati or Columbus on 11 federal bribery-related felonies. That trial will be followed by one in Akron, where Randazzo, former FirstEnergy CEO Chuck Jones and former FirstEnergy Senior Vice President Mike Dowling will be tried on similar state felony charges.

Both trials will bring even more embarrassment to Ohio’s government and governor.

Oh, what tangled webs they weaved.

Pain Hustlers

It was such a good movie about the opioid crisis in the US, especially about the drug called "Fentanyl".

The actors were very good. It was nice to see Andy García again.

The movie is based on the work of journalist and author Evan Hughes, who broke the story of pharmaceutical company Insys and its kickback scheme which incentivized doctors to recommend the fentanyl-based drug Subsys to other prescribers. The Zanna of the movie, and its drug Lorafen, are thinly-veiled analogues of Insys and Subsys.

Three things that didn't make sense : 1. Liza and Pete not having at least fucked once. 2. Liza going to the FBI to denounce her own company (before vest her shares), caring about the deaths (overdoses) knowing that Pete was saying at the beginning of the story that she didn't give a fuck about anyone. 3. Not having enough money for her daughter's operation.

Some quotes:

"- Look, the thing about Liza is, she didn't give a fuck...about anybody." (Pete)

"- If it's such a terrific medication, why is your market penetration under 1%?" (Liza)

"- Brent Larkin, VP of marketing, a backstabbing snake hired for his bionic ability to make you wanna buy the opposite of whatever he was selling. " (Pete)

"- Big Pharma's about finding that gray line, getting close without crossing over."

"- What I hate are insubordinate shitheels who's risk the reputation of this company. This company has no reputation 'cause you never risk shit."

"- Dr. Jack's rule. PhDs only. (Pete) - Well, none of them are PhDs. (Liza) - "Poor, hungry, and dumb." In your case, the "D" stood for "desperate". (Pete)

"- Oh, I can pay full tuition. Money's dignity. Not having to beg for a break. Can't tell you what it meant to finally be one of those people you can't shame, shake down, or fuck over." (Liza)

"- No, I mean, I don't feel any different. I feel just the fucking same. (Liza) - What is it? What? What's up your ass? (Pete) - Don't you sometimes wish that we were here 'cause we done something remarkable, something meaningful, and not because everyone's a greedy piece of shit? Ever think that? (Liza) - What do you want me to tell ya? (Pete) - Fix the programs. (Liza) - Can I see your tits? You know, I really love you. Just... (Pete) - Stop this. Stop. (Liza) - Is there any version of this where we end up fucking? (Pete) - Never. Never. (Liza)

"- Must've been good to get a greedy fuck like you to rat before you cashed out. (Pete) - Oh, you don't know me. (Liza) - I am you, Liza! We're just selfish pieces of shit. Only with you, there's no limit. (Pete) - No, I'm nothing like you. (Liza) - I hope you fucking die." (Pete)

"- The study was false? (Interviewer) - The study was accurate. Out of a test group of 200 patients under clinical observation for two years, there was only one confirmed fentanyl overdose. What they left out was that the drug was administered to opioid tolerant patients by responsable doctors who weren't being paid to crank the doses and addict people. Not only that, the clinical subjects were stage 4 cancer patients. So before abuse became an issue, most of them were dead. For non-terminal patients, they concluded that the risk of overdose and addiction were all incredibly high... because, um, well, pardon me, but no shit, it's fentanyl."

CLEVELAND -- Of all the regions in all the states in all the country, Jim Jordan got dragged into ours. There was no good reason to punish Greater Cleveland by making the person who’s now the second most contemptible human being in the entire U.S. government part of the region’s delegation to Congress. Worse yet, the betrayal was bipartisan.

When Ohio’s political and legislative leaders were drawing new congressional boundaries prior to the 2012 election, Democrats wanted a district that would protect U.S. Rep. Marcia Fudge. Republicans wanted districts that would elect the maximum number of GOP congressmen. And some people from both parties wanted a district that would likely lead to the defeat of longtime Cleveland Rep. Dennis Kucinich.

They all got what they wanted.

But to make it work required drawing a hideously gerrymandered district for the southwest Ohio congressman, one that meanders some 200 miles from near Dayton north into Lorain County near Cleveland.

And now it’s fitting that Republicans have given this seven-term sycophant a starring role in the televised House Intelligence Committee impeachment hearings against President Donald Trump. The assignment comes as Jordan is being credibly accused by some of knowingly turning a blind eye to sexual abuse by a team doctor when Jordan was an assistant wrestling coach at Ohio State University from 1987 to 1994.

At least five people – four of them former wrestlers and one of them a longtime friend – have said Jordan had to have known former OSU team doctor Richard Strauss was on a sexual rampage that would include -- according to OSU -- 1,429 sexual assaults and 47 rapes of student patients during Strauss’ time at the school (1978 to 1998) prior to his suicide in 2005.

That makes Jordan an ideal candidate to lead the defense of a malignant president who has bragged about physically abusing women and who has been accused by two dozen women of sexual assault or misconduct.

Jordan was appointed to the Intelligence Committee the same day, Nov. 8, that NBC reported on a lawsuit filed early this month in which a former wrestling referee alleges Strauss masturbated in front of him in the shower following an OSU wrestling match in 1994.

When the referee told Jordan what happened, he alleges that Jordan blew him off with, “Yeah, that’s Strauss.”

As the allegations pile up, Jordan’s denials remain unchanged. He dismissed the latest one as “ridiculous.”

People have every right to believe Jordan’s angry dismissals. Common sense suggests they’d probably be better off believing five men who have no reason to lie.

When Jordan slithers out from under his rock each morning, dons a shirt and tie - sans the jacket, lest he be mistaken for Joe McCarthy - his life’s work is to besmirch everything America stands for in service of Donald Trump.

If it takes undermining yet another principle of democracy by condoning attacks on men and women who have devoted their lives in honorable service to this country, Jordan is always ready and willing.

If it takes changing the Trump defense strategy on an almost daily basis because facts keep getting in the way, Jordan is the ideal bootlicker. Trump’s support is all that seems to matter to the man former House Speaker John Boehner regularly referred to as "a legislative terrorist” – along with a whole bunch of other descriptions unfit for print.

Why would Jordan so readily ruin what little was left of his reputation? One theory holds he hopes to inherit Trump’s base for a presidential run of his own in 2024. The swamp will be a crowded place in four years, overrun with loathsome folks angling to continue the dastardly business of shredding the Constitution.

Michael Gerson’s credentials to analyze Jordan are impeccable. He is an evangelical Christian, lifelong Republican and onetime chief speechwriter to former President George W. Bush.

In his Washington Post column of Nov. 14, Gerson showed his keen understanding of Jordan, describing him as “the Truly Trumpian Man – guided by bigotry, seized by conspiracy theories, dismissive of facts and truth, indifferent to ethics, contemptuous of institutional norms and ruthlessly dedicated to the success of a demagogue.”

Gerson applied the identical description to Stephen Miller, the White House resident white supremacist.

Everything about Jordan reeks of a man willing to cast aside common decency and fairness in service of a corrupt and cruel president.

He may be the most unfit man to ever represent part of Greater Cleveland in Congress.

Brent Larkin was The Plain Dealer’s editorial director from 1991 until his retirement in 2009.

There are (currently) six posts on instagram under the tag ‘tumblemeter’. They are all by Pete Simpson, from when he played Tumblebrutus on Oasis/RCCL in 2016. He and Alyson Larkin (Demeter) obviously came up with a bit of backstory and had a lot of fun with the pairing.

And here’s a gifset of Pouncival getting jealous and possessive...

Unrelated, Pete (who also played/covered Pouncival and Mistoffelees on Oasis in the following two years) looks uncannily like Jacob Brent.

Just Slutty Hockey things

@synonym-for-life

1. Joel Edmundson, after his team won the Stanley Cup, used that as the perfect excuse to make all his shirts crop tops:

2. Tyler Seguin is invited to do the ESPN body issue, which is the one where athletes get naked. A number of hockey guys have done it, but not with Seguin’s ... let’s call it gusto

“Suck a popsicle while maintain eye-contact with the camera? Sure thing!” I guess he didn’t have anybody around to tell him not to?

3. Speaking of the Body Issue, Brent Burns and Joe Thornton only agreed to pose nude if they could pose nude together. Sure.

Less awkward with a buddy!

As you can see, they bonded over having really long hair and beards. It’s a San Jose thing.

4. Hockey players evaluate their “off ice performance.”

5. Ovechkin ... Russian hockey player, like first of all: he has a tramp stamp:

I feel like this is an unintentionally gay thing, like nobody had the guts to tell him that lower back tattoos are considered sexual/feminine in the U.S. Same goes for the tattoo he got in honor of his brother, who passed away when he was young:

It's sweet, but probably works better in Russia.

For some reason, he let HBO camera crews film him getting his hamstring massaged and also his dumb video game setup, like he makes millions of dollars and sits on the floor in front of his TV and lived with his mom. He's such a weirdo.

Then there's the pregame rituals, which include biting his teammates.

Don't worry, it's consensual, and he lets them bite him back.

He has another teammate hit him on the cup ... For reasons?

6. Speaking of intricate rituals ... My favorite (at about 8 minutes) is Tyler Johnson having to praise his teammate Ondrej Palat before every game. "You're my favorite player, I can't wait to play with you"

7. Hockey butt. It's a problem. Dylan Larkin endorsed a special brand of pants made for big-butted players.

I got more, whatchu like?

my 107 hockey players who I'm in love with

This idea came from the previous post that I reblogged from @zuucc. I want to count how many players there is.

List begins. These are in no particular order. 

Spoiler alert: I was able to name 107 players who I am in fact love with. Didn’t expect it at all.

I’m trying to sort this a little bit with the teams they are playing for (and hope that I’ll remember every single one better that way.

Oh well, there's only 89. NHL players, let’s see what we got when we add all of my awkward Finnish hockey crushes

90. Mikael Granlund (I literally had his poster on my wall when I was 11. Finland won gold and literally every girl in Finland had #64 on their cheeks the next day)

91. Sebastian Aho (I know his girlfriend a bit too well to simp over him but I also have few pictures with him from the time I was 16 and didn’t know her)

92. I have now cancelled both Kasperi Kapanen and Jesse Puljujärvi but I’ve been a big simp so it makes this 93.

4 players from my favorite Liiga team Ilves

94. Lukas Dostal

95. Eemeli Suomi

96. Ville Meskanen

97. Arttu Ruotsalainen

And then I can literally add 10 guys who play in smaller leagues that I simp for, but they shall not be named here.

So yes, I could name 107 hockey guys I love 😆 didn’t expect it tbh
