“I have absolutely no idea what is going on beyond my tiny corner of the world.”
Loads and loads of derp.
Oh sure, take the easy, low hanging fruit answer.
It’s all about being first and feeding my fragile ego, Swiss.
Given my central Florida location, I assume that is also happening within my tiny corner of the world.
But in Florida they don’t call it derp. They just call it Tuesday.
The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households.

Children have always been stupid people who don’t pay rent. This has never changed.
My grandfather (RIP) complained that when he was a child, adults got first crack at the food. By the time he was an adult, the kids went first, so he got screwed all the way around.
He was lucky, his family had food. We had mud but only in the spring when it rained.
Luxury! We lived in a shoe box in the middle of the road, and had to lick it for sustenance. “Time to like the road,” Dad would say, and we liked it that way!
All right. Shoe box? We lived in a pothole in the road. Us kids had to take it in turns to be the plank the traffic drove on, to avoid desecrating the corpses of the people we think were our parents.
And something to lick? Lick??
We had our tongues cut out to stop back talk, we had to hum rocks that crumbled into the pothole.
dammit. *gum

I’d rethink that if I were you. If no SMITH family member inhabits space, that either means that they get all their…ahem…needs…met on earth and have no reason to venture out, or it means that there is an even more formidable cryptid out there scaring them off. I don’t like those odds.
Trump’s rally at the Jersey Shore
So you are saying that there’s a Situation.

Why is Trump campaigning in NJ?
For the lulz.
And that dude that switched parties.
Because he likes playing offense. Also, what Sean said re: the party-switcher. The guy specifically switched from D to R because he didn’t want to impeach trump (because his constituents didn’t), so Trump is rewarding him.
He does own a large property there.
Maybe so more people will vote to kill the national popular vote BS.

Really pathetic how @FoxNews is trying to be so politically correct by loading the airwaves with Democrats like Chris Van Hollen, the no name Senator from Maryland. He has been on forever playing up the Impeachment Hoax. Dems wouldn’t even give Fox their low ratings debates….
Donald J. Trump✔
@realDonaldTrump
…..So, what the hell has happened to @FoxNews. Only I know! Chris Wallace and others should be on Fake News CNN or MSDNC. How’s Shep Smith doing? Watch, this will be the beginning of the end for Fox, just like the other two which are dying in the ratings. Social Media is great!
Maybe he will also start using “NPCNN”.
“The president singled out Fox News anchor Chris Wallace for his critical analysis featured on the network during the ongoing impeachment trial in the Senate. On Monday, supporters of the president voiced their frustration after the network cut away from Trump’s lawyers defending the president on the Senate floor for panel programming and even an interview with former Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA)”
Barbara Boxer is retarded, but that’s still unfair to Chris Wallace.
Chris takes every DNC talking point as fact then goes for soundbites from there. He’s hard on the GOP with that, fine, but then he’s friendly and slow pitching to any dem that comes on his show.

Maduro’s representatives have held talks with Russia’s Rosneft PJSC, Repsol SA of Spain and Italy’s Eni SpA. The idea is to allow them to take over government-controlled oil properties and restructure some debt of state oil company Petroleos de Venezuela SA in exchange for assets, according to people with knowledge of the matter.
The proposal, which could offer a balm to the country’s disintegrating oil industry, is in early stages and faces major obstacles. Venezuelan laws would have to be changed, there is disagreement over how to finance the operations, and Washington’s sanctions bar any U.S. companies from doing business with the Maduro regime without a waiver. The sanctions have also discouraged non-U.S. firms from investing in Venezuela.
Once an admired state-dominated company producing 3.5 million barrels per day, PDVSA is pumping at a record-low of 700,000, despite sitting on the world’s largest known reserves. Its finances are in tatters: The central bank’s hard-currency reserves have plunged to the lowest in three decades while the government’s cash holdings total less than $1 billion.
Help a comrade out, bro.
We won’t take all your stuff once you start producing oil again.
pinky swear.
Not real socialism.

“I mean, you had a confederacy of dunces defending him in impeachment,” Scarborough opened his rant. “Their arguments were absolutely stunning.”
He added as the panel laughed and agreed, “If irony weren’t already dead and buried years ago, it was Ken Starr yesterday talking about how abuse of power is not sufficient to impeach a president, you need a crime. He literally dragged the corpse of irony out of the grave, he meticulously tied the corpse’s neck bone to the back of a tractor, and he ran that tractor throughout the graveyard of stupidity and ran over every headstone. This, before once again, kicking dirt on the corpse of irony again and putting its bones back in the grave one by one by one.” …
“This confederacy of dunces yesterday … these people lowered the collective I.Q., not only of America but of the western world, by at least 24 points every hour they spoke on the Senate floor,” he concluded.
I am sure he feels very clever.
Mika might let him suck her dick tonight after that little rant.
When I lived in Pensacola, I worked with a guy who knew Scarborough when they were growing up (went to the same high school). He was less than complimentary in his description of, in his words, “that pussy-ass, teacher’s pet, snitch motherfucker”.
The punch line, of course, is that perjury is a crime, and Scarborough voted to impeach Clinton.
Lol. Good thing for him he didn’t have any guests on his program who could’ve pointed that out.
any substantive criticism of the defense’s argument?
No. But you get the satisfaction of knowing that you won the argument when a leftist responds in this manner.
You whites are all inherently deficient.
The event, titled “How to Embrace Your Inner Racist: A Session for White People” was designed to help attendees “recognize and acknowledge that there is a nasty little racist inside them,” according to a description found on the college’s website. The session also aimed to help students learn how “the skills of psychological flexibility can help white people recognize and acknowledge their own racist tendencies.”
“This session is for White people only,” the event description said, adding that “while we won’t stop people of color from attending, they should know that their presence in the room is likely to interfere with the effectiveness of the session.”
The session employed “Acceptance and Commitment Training (or ‘ACT’),” according to the college.
Charming.
I got nuthin’. Impossible to parody.
You know who else only invited white people to meetings?
Pre-Roman Britons?
The DNC?
The barbary pirates?
You know, it’s interesting how much capacity they have for ignoring the fact that minorities are, on average, far more racist than whites these days.
Not if you change the definitions.

How to Embrace Your Inner Racist
No one should be surprised that an SJW is promoting racism.
A whites only meeting where whites are encouraged to embrace their inner racism? Is the Klan making a comeback, or is this one of those “SJW or Stormfront” things?
It’s also a 12-step. The first step to quitting racism is admitting that you are a
white-devilracist.[golf clap]
This is not something I ever expected to feel here. In the Miami office today; usually in Fort Lauderdale, apparently not felt there.

But was he being hotly pursued by a coyote?
Possibly.
That is a hideously unjust slur to put upon poor Wile E. Coyote.
Wait. I already apologized to robc for depressing him and now I have to apologize to an incompetent cartoon villain?
Wait, which is the incompetent cartoon villain? Schiff or Wile E. Coyote?
He said I insulted Wile E. Coyote.
I would never apologize to Schiff.
He wasn’t incompetent. He was perpetually failed by the shoddy craftsmanship of the Acme Corporation.
But he was using the products for off label purposes. And did they have some sort of monopoly on rockets?
He very regularly miscalculated his catapult and trebuchet launches AND he regularly underestimated both the weight of a boulder and his strength to lift it.
Plus the Road Runner was an asshole, sure Wile E. was trying to eat him but RR was more or less super powered and could have just ignored or avoided Wile E. Instead he fucked with him.
I will not argue that RR is an asshole. He is.
If there was something that wanted to eat ME*, I would certainly go out of my way to be an asshole.
*My husband can eat me all he wants.
Wile E Coyote was the hero of those cartoons. The Road Runner was the villain, flagrantly violating the laws of physics.
If I ever go self-employed again, I am using this as the template for my business cards:
https://i.pinimg.com/originals/1f/4b/f0/1f4bf0d80bbc9c08a827c65cd1c59893.png
So…what was Wile E. Coyote’s purpose in catching the roadrunner? Was the bird invading land that WEC owned? Was the bird squatting on WEC’s land? Was he stealing from him? Was the roadrunner in any way violating the NAP, especially with regard to WEC?
If so, why didn’t WEC put up fences and clearly demarcate his ownership? If he can order rockets from Acme and build catapults and trebuchets, surely he could put up a fence around his property. IF it was his property.
Was it WEC’s intention to EAT the bird? If so, didn’t the roadrunner have a right to use his best defense in his pursuit to continue to exist? Wasn’t it, in fact, WEC who continued to violate NAP against the roadrunner with no clear motive?
i just thought they were pretty….
I have told you, Wile E Coyote works as a product tester at Acme. That’s why he gets barely functional products express shipped directly to his location without having to pay. At most I can guess that the roadrunner is a test animal.
That was brilliant. Thank you.
The fact that was posted on Dan Scavino’s account is awesome.

Outside of the major cities and rich inner suburbs, NJ is a conservative state (like all the others). Waiting to see if Warren County declares itself a 2A sanctuary. Sussex County already did.

Pa is definitely like that. Like James Carville said: Pennsylvania is basically Philadelphia and Pittsburgh with Alabama (and some Amish) in between.
And the City of Philadelphia does everything it can to deliver the maximum number of Democratic votes for the state.
Pennsyltucky, as they say.
I live in rural PA. This is 100% true. I’ve seen Trump signs, flags, bumper stickers, etc. driving home every single day for the last 5 years. No one takes them down, they just replaced them with Trump 2020.
And all this is 30 minutes outside of Baltimore
Also rural PA. Will second Joe’s confirmation.
Some of the best growth areas are blue cities with enough red state surrounding them to keep them in check.
Austin, Tx, for example.
if the city gets too large, it falls apart. Which is why Illinois is in decline and Indiana is on the rise. Chicago overwhelms downstate, but Indianapolis is kept in check.

“Romney Busted With Contraband Chocolate Milk Bottle on Senate Floor ”
https://twitter.com/lindsaywise/status/1222234726498521088
https://www.wsj.com/livecoverage/trump-impeachment-trial/card/1580237957
Well, that’s a headline I wasn’t expecting.
Prison. Only acceptable solution.
“Shortly before Tuesday’s trial session got underway, Sen. Mitt Romney (R., Utah) got busted by the Senate floor staff for bringing a bottle of chocolate milk into the chamber.
Mr. Romney retreated to the Republican cloakroom after the staff member appeared gently to chide him. He returned a few minutes later with the chocolate milk in a glass, which is allowed, while bottles aren’t. He held up the glass for inspection. It passed, and he put it on his desk. A few feet away, Sen. Ron Johnson was openly snacking on Sour Patch Kids.
The official rules allow only water, still or sparkling, served by Senate pages. But the Senate historian points to “anecdotal evidence” that in past years, senators have been allowed to sip other beverages in the chamber, and during the impeachment trial of President Trump, lawmakers from both sides of the aisle have been seen sipping milk at their desks, including Sens. Tammy Baldwin (D., Wis.), Tom Cotton (R., Ark.), Richard Burr (R., N.C.) and Ted Cruz (R., Tex.).
Politico has identified chocolate milk as Mr. Romney’s vice. The brand he brought to the Senate floor on Tuesday was from Mr. Romney’s alma mater, Brigham Young University, according to an aide. The campus creamery there makes chocolate milk and ice cream.”
Give him a magic underwear wedgie.
Not possible.
If you could give him a wedgie, it wouldn’t be magic underwear. Duh.
Apparently there is a candy desk, I think one of the PA senators has it now, it used to be McCain.
All members can open it at any time and take out candy. The senator who resides in it keeps it stocked, generally from donations from candy companies.
This is probably old news, but I just learned about it this week.

My children pretty much rule my life right now, so it sounds about right.
No, if that was the case, bottles would be permitted and glasses banned (bottles can be capped up to prevent spills). I think they’re afraid of someone trying to break the bottle to use as a weapon (and more likely then not cutting open their own hand).

Another One Bites The Dust Of ‘Cultural Appropriation’
My new book will be entitled Exploiting Mexican Pain For Fun and Profit.
SJWs are rushing to out-racist each other.
For people who claim to hate racism they sure seem to be obsessed with race like actual white supremacists.
How much Mexican blood does one need to possess in order to be permitted to write about Mexico and its people – half? A quarter? Octaroons acceptable? Or is the one drop rule applicable?
I demand to know why the Puerto Rican Lin-Manuel Miranda was allowed to appropriate my white English heritage for Hamilton.
I swear to God, if I ever see a Mexican SJW eating pizza…..

This is why white women don’t write about anybody but white women.
PoC protagonists: “You don’t know! You’re not authentic! How dare you write about us! Write what you know! And you don’t know us!”
PoC secondary characters: “Stop stereotyping! We are not always the gay/black Sassy Best Friend! We are not the Wise Latina! How dare you cast us in such cliches!”
Descriptions of PoC: “Stop describing us as food items! We are not CHOCOLATE! We are not CAFE AU LAIT! We are not BROWN SUGAR!”
No PoC characters at all: “You don’t even TRY to include PoCs in your books! It’s like we don’t exist at all!”
PoC authors: “Why aren’t you reading our PoC books?!”
Oh, I forgot:
PoC villain: “That’s right. Go ahead, make us the bad guy. The thug. The gang member. Bonus points for stupidity and incompetence! You bunch of fucking racists.”
“Did you even read the book?”
“OMG DID YOU JUST QUESTION A READER????!!!!?!? AUTHOR BEHAVING BADLY!!!!”
“I’ll take that as a No. So you’re not a reader. Come back when you’ve read the book.”
That she identifies as both white and Latina and has a grandmother of Puerto Rican background, according to the critics, hardly qualified as a credential for writing about Mexicans.
AFAIK, Rowling was never a wizard, Christie was never a detective, and the Berenstains were never bears, but that didn’t stop them, because it’s fiction. Either people should be allowed to write outside their lived experience, or they shouldn’t. But if not, I expect literature to get rather boring.

I suppose this is unsurprising, but the Palestinians are not pleased.
Still waiting for the DJT “clearly Palestinians don’t want peace–they just want to kill Israelis” tweet.
When are they pleased, other than when a Jew is murdered?
Abbas’s spokesman Nabil Abu Rudeineh indicated that the Palestinians could dissolve the PA in protest over the plan.
Was that part supposed to be a threat?
They simply don’t want peace period.
Just look at how the other Arab countries view Palestinians.
My FIL (sign of the cross) was Lebanese and lemme tell ya….not too many kind words for the Palestinians among Arabs. Not him personally he was just telling me stories.
There have always been a fair number of Lebanese Christians around here, and yeah, you’re absolutely right about that.
There’s a reason Jordan forced them to stay in the refugee camps rather than allowing them to become Jordanian citizens, despite the fact that they’re basically the same people.
This guy knows.
Yeh, he’s Maronite.
They wreak havoc.
“Ok… here’s the peace deal: you can’t blow up Jews for fun anymore.”
*riots*
That’s about the best deal the Palestinians can expect. They get East Jerusalem, double the territory under their control, get 50billion in investment for infrastructure and use of two ports. I’m sure the response will be more riots and a complete rejection. Wash, rinse repeat.
That’s because there’s no stick behind the carrot. The alternative is just more of the same, which is not unfavorable to the Palestinian leadership or Arab countries. Make the stick they’ll be deported across the border to the closest neighboring country and maybe there might be some movement.

The high court’s move lifts a nationwide injunction on the “public charge” rule change while a challenge plays out in court.
The New York Democrat called the 5-4 decision “shameful” in a tweet.
“America shouldn’t have a wealth test for admission,” she posted. “It’s a place where millions of people are descendants of immigrants who came w nothing & made a life.”
Why do I assume this is an egregious mischaracterization of the facts?
Get rid of welfare and I’ll bulldoze the border wall myself.
America has ALWAYS had that requirement. I’ve done a lot of genealogical research, and I’ve found the Ellis Island records documenting my great-grandfather’s arrival with his father and brother in 1911. They were briefly detained for further examination by the inspectors. The reason was listed as “LPC”. Know what LPC stood for? Likely Public Charge…..IOW, there was a question whether or not the immigrant would be able to support themselves without aid. A lot of people were put right back on the boat for that.
I know that from my own conversations with family members. Another option was to have someone sponsor them. My brother in law’s father did that. He forked over $7000 to sponsor family members and look after them.
Why should people come here and get welfare? Wtf?
‘Here’ obviously being North America.
“It’s a place where millions of people are descendants of immigrants who came w nothing & made a life.”
Yes, fuckhead, including me. My two great grandfathers were vetted at Ellis Island to make sure they weren’t bringing in some crazy disease AND that they had work prospects or sponsorship.
Common fucking sense.
1. Because it is
2. Because of the source
What other reasons would you need?
immigrants who rely on public assistance
“parasites” is a shorter way of saying it.
Wow.
Feinstein’s retiring, right? So she don’t give a fuck.
“despite serious concerns about his character”
I missed that part of the constitution.
“We want a secret ballot!”
“What if there are more votes to acquit than there are Republicans?”
“We don’t want a secret ballot!”
This is why any tank, no matter what you’re storing, should have baffles.

Baffles in a tank
It was noticed, what you did there.
Well this surely isn’t good news for Big Education. Minnesoda progressive stumbles onto a hard truth. Props to him though for following the numbers.
Considering how progressivism has always been about how Rich White Men know the solution to humanity’s problems is this really a surprise?
When you have ultra-leftists like the guy currently running the NYC school district into the ground explicitly promoting ideas like “achievement is racist”, well… QED.
The re-enspringenation of the adapter was a great success! I took a long lunch and loaded 6 mags, none of them fell. And I got this, standing offhand at 75′ iron sights that cost me $20 forthe set:

I hadn’t planned on taking it to Steel Challenge, but if I’m going to be 2×4-ing with it, I guess i should practice changing targets and taking quick shots.
I wouldn’t trust that backstop.
I wouldn’t take a picture with the target still hanging — gotta clear the range in case someone else wants to start shooting.
However, not being from a place that freezes, I didn’t realize that frozen berms were a safety issue. A RSO was there searching for indications that rounds were getting redirected back toward the firing line.
?
I have really annoying neighbors below me.
“Japanese mothers giving their sons blowjobs/sex in order to keep their minds off girls and provide incentive to study and do well in exams/schools.
What’s the biggest problem with this, do you think?”
https://twitter.com/ScribeUndead/status/1221986525992423424
Is this what was behind the explosion of incest clips at Pornhub?
Other than me being totally skeeved out?
You don’t want your mom to give you a blowjob?
Fake news. I hope.
“Dear Penthouse, I never thought it would happen to me…”
“Dear Penthouse, I !
never thought!prayed it would never happen to me…”Mojeaux has a son….
??????
…Straff has a daughter…
I don’t believe it.
There is huge pressure to succeed, but I can’t see it.
Besides isn’t this saying that Japanese whores are too expensive to hire even to promote their sons’ success?
Great point. Treat him to a soapland.
Oh, so that wasn’t just an Okinawa thing, huh?
However, I’m not sure if anyone under 20 is allowed.
It’s too early in the AM for our Japanese ex-pat Glibs. Which is probably a good thing.
There were definitely patrons under 20 at the one in Oki, because a bunch of the Marines who would go there were 18 or 19.
What does mom look like?
Anyone see the new Star Trek show?
It is interesting how Trek has always been reflective of what the leftist Hollywood types thought was fashionable at the time. TOS was full blown Cold War Liberalism: America is Great and the Constitution is Awesome and LBJ will give us utopia. TNG was full of 1980s New Agey PCness and tirades about how flawed 1980s America is since Nixon and Reagan destroyed that LBJ utopia. Nu Trek is trying to woke but the wokesters think that even that even LBJ was a privileged White Male Oppressor so the basic premise is unworkable.
Nope. I liked the franchise as a kid, but then I grew up and I became apathetic, with more than a few installments inducing cringe.
I’ll have those n*****s voting Democrat for 100 years, LBJ wasn’t a White Male Oppressor? I think he was just better at it than anyone.
I don’t think there’s a single criticism of Trump that can’t be made about LBJ.
He’s a New Yorker. That’s all I’ve got (but it is valid criticism!).
LBJ went through multiple marriages because of rampant adultery?
What’s the criticism?
“Had multiple marriages” isn’t really one, “couldn’t keep his wives from leaving” only is a criticism if Trump didn’t want to upgrade to a newer model. If anything, it’s a criticism of Lady Bird for sticking with the dick-waggling conference-shitter.
Rampant adultery and inability to keep his word to his wives. I’m not certain he left any of them, but I didn’t look up the sordid details.
Again though, how doesn’t that also apply to LBJ? It’s not like he was faithful.
Got any names of the mistresses?

I find it hard to believe anyone would willingly have a tryst with the man.
*shakes head*
Women are strange.
You do know that power and money are aphrodisiacs, right?
Some of us are less susceptible than others.
At the time, he was one of only two people to have his very own nuclear arsenal. Some chicks are into that.
Women like a man with a rocket in his pocket? A guy who can deliver the really big bang? The really hot mushroom of doom?
“Bomb Bunnies”
If Henry Kissinger can get laid…
Yeah, power and money.
+1 Jill St. John
And multiple marriages is a criticism.
Say what you will about Trump, but he doesn’t (to my knowledge) hold staff meetings in the bathroom while he’s taking a shit or whip his dick out and wave it at staffers.
What?!, Are you saying that “The Hat and The Hair” is all lies?
There’s a fine line between lies and innuendo.
The place just hasn’t been the same since LBJ left.
Has that ever been confirmed that he actually said that?
Snopes says it’s a myth perpetrated by Fox News.
IIRC it was 200 years
Confirmation, smonfirmation. What’s important is if it advances your preferred narrative.
Also I love how the Fandom Menace types are complaining about how Roddenberry’s leftist PC utopia is being destroyed by woke Hollywood. Oh the irony!
Kind of reminds of how the left claims one hand Trump is destroying the Liberal World Order that Made America Great while on the other hand complaining that the Liberal World Order was built by a bunch of Imperialist White Men and how America Has Always Sucked.
Which one? Picard?
Yes Picard.
That ones far left too? What is far left about it?
Star Trek has always been about leftist allegories? The Ferengi being the embodiment of evil capitalists for one.
And Stewart has stated the show is supposed to be about Brexit and Trump,
(((Ferengi))) and their big
nosesearlobes.‘Latinum, mmmmmm
Now made from real latinx!
I know. I heard that. But really? What specifically? Most of the time actors interpret everything they like as being pro their politics.
I’m not opposed to all leftist politics. Russians and Americans working together in the future is fine with me. I can overlook space-UN, because there’s other fun stuff.
Roooshan collusion in ST!
Too close to the Romulans and Picard is just the SJW to save the day. I won’t watch a single minute.
Star Trek has always sucked. At least the original series was so campy you could just laugh at it. The Next Generation made it clear that their intent was to insult the audience’s intelligence at every opportunity.
You’re just jealous that your Wankel engine doesn’t have dilithium crystals.
True. Unfortunately the Mazda ECU is controlled by three primary main processing cores cross linked with a redundant melacortz ramistat and fourteen kiloquad interface modules. No dilithium to be found.
David Schwimmer apologizing for his privilege:

First of all there where activists (and University profs) who complained about that at the time. Good thing their views didn’t become mainstream!
And interesting how when the show was on the air I imagine it’s biggest critics were the Socons whose complaints about the depiction of sex, unwed motherhood and homosexuality would have been dismissed by all Serious People. Times have changed.
The proto-woke used to bitch about Seinfeld because there weren’t enough minorities in it, either.
And Star Wars original trilogy too:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars_(film)#Critical_response
The New Republic complained too:
I think if Lucas had noT decided to make Vader Luke’s dad (and let’s be honest… we all know he decided AFTER Star Wars), then it could’ve been James Earl Jones in there.
And a black man played the best character imo. Without Vader, none of it works.
Billy Dee Williams?
[cackles madly and runs about room]
“Gets em every time”
one of the most racist movies
Don’t stop there! Complain about how speciest it is as well. Everyone treats Chewbacca as an inferior.
“Everyone treats Chewbacca as an inferior.”
Nuh uh, she just won a Grammy!
No that was his Niece Shrewbacca
Nice! Lol
Wtf? They had Puerto Rican day, the Japanese in the dresser, and Jackie Chiles.
Not to mention Mr. Morgan and his resemblance to Sugar Ray Leonard
Not enough minorities? What with all the Jews, there were hardly any white people!
*ducks, runs*
Even the Italians (the Costanzas) were played using broad Jewish stereotypes.
There are all kinds of hilarious jokes about Chandler’s cross dressing dad and Ross’s former lesbian wife that would be glared at angrily today.
These people are so far gone.
I literally heard people complaining during the recent 25th-anniversary hoopla that Chandler called his dad “Dad”.
So you are saying society changed in a way that you don’t like? Huh.
I don’t think it’s really changed that much. Hollywood has though.
In what way? I like to think that “society” has just changed what is considered to be virtuous and what is considered to be sinful rather than becoming “tolerant”.
He was much funnier as Ross. Sad woke guy, not so funny, just stupid. No one likes stupid.
Dammit….You Know Who Else thought Jews had too much privilege?
King Herod?
I know, this is the 3rd time, but some of us have to work.
WE GOT THE PEE TAPES THIS TIME!
When predicting the left’s newest savior, who all came up with Stache o’ War?
Ca$h for Diabetic Test Strips
867-5309
Oh, wait. It’s a blood test now, isn’t it?
still need strips..
Surprise, New York Times. America doesn’t give a shit.
The leak supposedly came from the NSC. Who know who the guy who vets books for the NSC is? No other that patriotic warrior Lt. Colonel Vindman;s brother.
You mean Mr. Vindman’s brother.
Wouldn’t that just be Mr. Vindman?
It’s a reference to the army guy getting called “Mr. Vindman” at the House impeachment hearings and having a shitfit about it.
Twin brother.
I’m sticking with my theory that it was actually the porcine and truculent Lt. Colonel, using his brother’s credentials.
Do twins get as fat as each other over the course of their lifetimes? That would seem to be a simple test for the “obesity is genetic” argument.
The one set of porky identical twins I knew grew equally tubbier over time.
Was it these guys?
The participating providers for my eyeglass coverage remind me of the best customer service you can get from socialized medicine – crammed into waiting rooms for extended periods for a breif visit with a surly, disinterested examiner who gives the briefest of checkups and writes the wrong prescription, then off to order from the allowable catalog of covered frames, mistakes take weeks to correct, all with nothing out of pocket at point of delivery, because it was all taken from my pay check before I even got it.
So I went and found a different place with nicer facilities, amenable staff, and a more thorough optrician. I even managed to find frames that were made in Italy instead of China. Sure I paid $400+ out of pocket, but that was exam, frames, lenses and all. Knowing the markup on frames, the fact that I was the only customer at the time was not a major impediment to their bottom line. And I assume the optrician gets his cut from the bill for the exam.
Anyway, I’m glad there’s still some remnant of capitalism left, because I didn’t want to go back to the place where I was covered.
“So I went and found a different place with nicer facilities, amenable staff, and a more thorough optrician. I even managed to find frames that were made in Italy instead of China. Sure I paid $400+ out of pocket, but that was exam, frames, lenses and all. ”
No one needs more than 2 different kind of frames. /Comrade Bernie
I like to get my insurance pair of glasses – and then use the measurements from my prescription validation to order some extra, cheap pairs online from a Chinese place or elsewhere.
I do what I can to reduce the amount of money I send to china. Up to the limits of my frustration
I just got a nice pair of bifocals with a nice metal frame from Zenni for 28 bucks shipped. I try to avoid Chinese goods too if there’s a reasonable alternative but I’m not going to put myself in the poorhouse.
Not sure if anyone posted this earlier today. A little optimism still out there

Fake news. A serious poll question would be more like:
How much worse off are people living in Trump World today compared to people who lived during the Dark Ages?
Answers will be:
a. Somewhat worse off.
b. Much worse off.
c. We all goan die.
Which Dark Ages?
There is no dark age, really. Matter of fact, it’s all dark.
The Aeons when the Elder Gods held sway.
Remember when the Japanese made everything?
Man, those were good times.
Why did Kobe get a Helicopter ride? maybe he had some info about servers……
/foil hat on…
Please don’t.
Sorry I’m in the Kobe/ Rapist camp…
Had a complete annual checkup this morning. Happily, other than my bone marrow cancer (currently in remission, thankfully) I’m in pretty good shape. And the low-carb, high-fat diet has resulted in lost weight, “ideal” cholesterol and triglycerides, outstanding blood pressure and pulse, and all other labs looking on target.
But still feeling the aftereffects of that rectal exam and its palpation of the prostrate. I don’t know how anyone can be on the receiving end of anal.
Methinks thou dost protest too much.
My doctor determines the need for the prostate exam based on the psa test. It’s been well below 2 for several years, so it’s been awhile since I’ve been finger blasted. At least it’s a female doc. Although, I’ve always thought the polite thing to do was to check for hernias at the same time she’s probing the prostate.
My blood work was very good this week, except for a couple of pesky little things. It seems that due to the situation, I’ve been drinking more since my last physical. So Spud is basically a teetotaler these days and will be donating blood regularly to bring down my stratospheric iron levels.
May I have some of your iron please? My hemoglobin is terminally in the basement (like, 6-9).
“Early on, one animator describes Kricfalusi as “the best drill sergeant you’ll ever meet, and drill sergeants do need to be cruel.” The full extent of that cruelty is the final note in Happy Happy Joy Joy. Chronicling the broad strokes of BuzzFeed News’ report from 2018, Cicero and Easterwood hear from both Byrd and Kricfalusi on how the Ren & Stimpy creator leveraged his standing in the industry to establish a romantic relationship. Kricfalusi does not deny courting a then-15-year-old when he was 41, but his reflection focuses more on mistakes made than apologies offered. Cicero and Easterwood leave the details of Byrd’s story, and the stories of his other accuser Katie Rice, out of the picture.”

Was there anyone at Nickelodeon into grown women?
If they were, they wouldn’t have been drawn to Nickelodeon.
Who knew the creator of Ren and Stimpy was a fucking weirdo???
Only weirdos like that show.
Hey, I represent that!
Fucking weirdo genius!
