MIAMI – Controversy erupted as Democratic presidential hopeful Sanders seemingly praised murderous communist dictatorships. This was an especially inflammatory statement as Florida is home to a large number of Cubans who fled Castro’s communism. Sanders later doubled down on his remarks, saying “certainly it wasn’t perfect, but literacy is a good thing and inequality plummeted under Castro’s leadership”. He added “look, the truth is that there were very fine people on both sides of the Iron Curtain. Now I have heard, most likely exaggerated things, by the way, about there being some hunger and even a few executions. Nobody’s perfect and certainly not this country where there are 23 kinds of deodorant and children go hungry.” On the topic of a controversial statue of Lenin in Portland, Sanders said “it’s beautiful work of art and a part of history. We can’t just start tearing down statues because a few ignorant people complain about them. People like Lenin and Castro and Ortega fought to help the poor people who were rising up against rather ugly rich people. And besides, what about Trump, a hatemonger who refuses to condemn the KKK? The hysteria about socialism has to stop. Democratic socialism means that in a democratic, civilized society the wealthiest people and the largest corporations must pay their fair share of taxes. And yes, I know went on my honeymoon in the USSR and displayed a Soviet flag in my office in the 1980s, but that was a different time when I was not running for national office.” Sanders then posed for a selfie with a man wearing a Che shirt and a hammer and sickle face bandana.

I have their halex foregrip and it is very nice.
Well, there are eleventy billion different 1911 grips ranging from awe-inspiring to tasteful to “stripper shoes, but gun grips.”
I will admit that my application would be to put silly grips on my race guns, since the MBC means I’m pulling the trigger with my middle finger anyway.
Foregrips are completely pointless where 16″ barrels are mandatory.
The main problem with these is the colors are too muted.

One of the better nu-Who episodes.
Before Moffat took over?
Yes, though he did write it.
I noticed that.
I watched NuWho on Netflix, so I was always a season or two behind broadcast. I noticed people HATING Moffat, but I couldn’t figure out why, because he seemed to write the best episodes.
Little did I know…
Writing yourself into a corner works for single episodes. It does NOT work for a season.

And such a sense of national pride and purpose. A well ordered society, everyone one the same team. Better literacy since they don’t tolerate any mental rejects. No homeless cripples on the street either. I went there for my honeymoon and they had Wagner operas in every theater. I’m sure the regime had some successes, but that isn’t real fascism. I got to travel to Italy and meet Mussolini during the war. Nice guy. He pulled that country into the 20th century. Rebuilt the ports, the navy, the highways and railroads. Such a proud country, and it was nice to see people proud of their government unlike in our country. Sure there were some excesses but that wasn’t real fascism….
People hate freedom. It requires too much individual effort. All of these idiots are really just lazy fucks.

“Bernie Sanders Says There Were “Very Fine People on Both Sides of the Iron Curtain”
Sure there were, but a lot of them on the wrong side got starved to death of lined up against a wall.
“Democratic presidential hopeful Sanders seemingly praised murderous communist dictatorships.”
But they let the Dodgahs move.
All of Derpy’s “Spot the Not” pieces were just honing his sense of the razor thin margin between reality and paradoy.
This article is the output of that body of study. Well done.

Why The Unabomber Was Right (Posted on Youtube.)
I’m biting, I’ll let you know, I actually clicked your link,
Thank you.
and I’m done, it just made me appreciate my own intellect, I am self owned, he was full of shit,
The irony is that the Ted K. hated where he felt technology was taking society in the early to mid 90s. God knows what he would have thought of social media. It’s kinda hypocritical to be like “duuuude, the Unabomber was right” on fucking Youtube when Teddy typed up that essay on a manual typewriter in a hermit shack with no electricity in 1995.
Well, Ted’s still alive, so you could try to ask.
Nah, Florence is a great place to live……….
-1 SuperMax
I remember reading that he only responds to letters about mathematics.
And invites to Harvard Class Reunions.
WAsn’tpart of Ted’s thesis that we were trapped by technology and increasingly large portions of the population had no possibility of escape? Is it hypocricy to recognize that you are enslaved by technology while using the technology to express your state of thralldom? I don’t know that he was completely wrong.
I think he was capable of survival on his own, and a degree of satisfaction in that, which he romanticized and extrapolated to others. Sure the mountain man and the mystic hermit types would be vastly better off psychologically in a frontier society where they could escape the noise and nonsense, but the 6.5 billion people who would have to die off to get back to that sort of society likely would disagree, and so would 990+ million of the billion survivors as they adjested to their new life as serfs, tenant farmers, and men at arms for the handful who ended up on top.
TL:DR Ted identified some problems with the modern world but missed the more significant problems of his romanticized world.
Technology per se? No. The heart of all evil that has been responsible for more of the bullshit that Teddy identified than any other source in the past 10 to 15 or so years? Pretty much. It reminds me of the people who rail against capitalism through tweets made via their iPhone on McDonald’s wifi during a WTO protest french fry break.
After that Vulfpeck, I click on all HM’s YouTube links.
Careful….
I’m going to see Theo Katzman band on Sunday, which includes half of Vulfpeck. I’m really stoked to see Joe Dart play bass. Dude is a total badass.
One of the comments in the “Running Away” video:
“You maybe cool but you’ll never be cool as joe Dart strumming on the bass with his legs crossed cool.”
How Joe’s head doesn’t fall off when he’s playing defies understanding. I don’t get how he doesn’t have a sore neck after playing.
A couple years ago I had tickets to see Theo with Joe at a really small club in Iowa, but a stupid snow storm prevented me from going. The opener was Bridgette Kearney, who is the upright bass player for Lake Street Dive. Joe and Bridgette are two of my favorite modern bass players and I would have had a chance to see them play together. Joe played bass in Bridgette’s band and she played guitar. I love this Bridgette song with Joe on bass:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SoJOJmu9Vw0
Love Kearney. It may be a bass that’s she’s playing, but the role is often lead guitar
Totally agree on the lead guitar role. Bridgette quickly became a favorite of my buddy when I turned him onto LSD. He’s a really good upright player and was slayed by some of her arrangements. Bridgette is also a great song writer.

Whenever I’m reminded of that song, I remember that when my oldest sister was in high school, she had all the lyrics written out on one of those canvas-covered ring binders. Adolescent angst FTW.
She was an island and nobody understood her. Odds of being unique? One in 7.7bn.
I knew a guy in high school who would sing that tune but change the lyrics to:

Any Montana or Idaho glibs around? My MBA is fast coming to an end here and I’m looking for work that will let me move to the mountain west to further my career and my desire to live somewhere with a non-zero chance of death by mountain lion.
If anyone has advice about where someone with tech experience and an MBA specializing in risk management and insurance might go about looking for work in those states (and WY and UT and CO), I’d love to hear it. I promise not to vote like an expat Californian.
Not a Idaho Glib, but off the top of my head Boise has a number of companies that might fit the bill, particularly ones with headquarters there- Simplot, Micron, Albertsons, Idaho Power/Idacorp, the hospital system(s), etc… or Blue Cross of Idaho in CDA.
I’ll have a look, thanks!
Might want to check out the Provo-Orem area in Utah. Quite a few tech companies out there.
Didn’t know that, I’ll have a look tomorrow morning. Thanks!
Montana has like six actual cities – your only choices. See what companies you can find in each that might have what you offer. It’s not like there are regional centers of insurance or anything.
Helena – state capitol with all the usual govt hangers on.
Bozeman and Missoula – Universities and health care. Bozeman is starting to get some high tech.
Billings. Largest with actual industry. Energy and exraction. Finance I think . Riven lives there.
Butte. Used to be mining. SP and OMWC used to live there.
Kallispel. Rich refugees from LA.
Great Falls. AF retirees. Hi, FdA
There are those that will say Bozeman, Missoula and Kallispel aren’t really in Montana.

You might like the whole album. I listened to it a lot when I went through an extremely rough couple years. It’s got songs like Fallen Down, No Need to Suffer, In My Life. Not many happy lyrics but probably relatable.

“Pffft–animals in Thailand can go screw.”
-Ingrid Newkirk
Man, I always wanted to go to Cobra Gold. MACS-4 Det A, my Okinawa squadron, went for years. Unfortunately, my year there coincided with a CO who was from TAOC, the other component of a Marine air control squadron, and seemed to hate ATC. We got left out of everything, including Northern Edge in Alaska, which basically the entire air station other than us went on.
A buddy of mine, on his first Cobra Gold, was on a patrol with a Thai unit. At one point he asked the Thais what those weird trees were – no branches nor leaves, just a trunk about 4 inches wide and 5 to 6 feet tall. He pointed one out to the Thai translator and they started whispering excitedly in Thai – then a half dozen ran out with a machete.
Those “trees” were king cobras.
“They recommended “interactive video games with food procurement components” and “virtual reality methods” instead of training that involved live animals. ”
I’m pretty sure that snake which they decapitated was no longer a live animal when they were drinking its blood.
And, yeah – “interactive video games” and “virtual reality methods” – sure, babe. Not like you’re talking out your ass, nosiree!

Sexism is probably real. So what? By metrics that I consider important (lifespan, suicide and incarceration rates), women have da privilege.
Well, if they can’t work without multiple (eye) rapings every hour, or, can’t even be elected to office, so that they can now tell others what is permissible/no permissible, what possible hope do they have???
They’re also vastly underrepresented in homicide, workplace deaths, and homelessness. They outperform boys in K-12 education and are more likely to get a university degree. There exists legislation and government departments whose explicit purpose is to benefit women. They don’t have to sign up for the draft.
Anything feminists would bring up to show that women are horribly oppressed is weak in comparison and in fact may be just more examples of women occupying a favorable position in society. My favorite example: The “wage gap” shrinks down to almost nothing when you adjust for every other relevant factor (hours worked, education, job type, experience level). It might even be the case that the average earnings for females are lower because there’s a cultural expectation that the man should be the breadwinner and let his wife stay home if a second income is not totally necessary. This cultural norm means that women are more likely to be able to either stay home, or take the job they enjoy instead of the job that pays a lot.
I’ve just heard countless professional women idly chatting at work about how nice it would be if the husband would “let me stay home instead of working”. Yet, the feminists want me to believe that every female in America is Dagny Taggart from Atlas Shrugged – an absolute dynamo whose very lifeblood is the satisfaction of her job.
What pisses me off is that there ARE countries where things are almost exactly like The Handmaid’s Tale, but it sure as shit ain’t the US.

Bill Clinton says he feels ‘terrible’ that affair has ‘unfairly’ defined Monica Lewinsky’s life
“It is you feel like you are staggering around, you have been in a 15-round prize fight that was extended to 30 rounds and here is something that will take your mind off of it for a while. That is what happens.”
He’s still trying to find a way to frame it so he isn’t the heel.
Congratulations Bill, you manage to come off as an even bigger scumbag that you were.
The former President has reflected about his relationship with Lewinsky over the years, including comments in 2018 where he seemed to defend himself and said he didn’t owe Lewinsky an apology. Clinton later admitted that the defense was not his “finest moment” — and the former President did apologize “to my family, to Monica Lewinsky and her family and to the American people” during the 1998 National Prayer Breakfast.
Oh, so his fake apology in 1998 immediately after he got caught cancels out all of the non-apologies, backsliding, and defenses since. Got it.

I’ve been frequenting a Chicago Bears blog for about 10 years that can get political in the off-season. This winter it’s turned into a non-stop Trump bashing board from the resident socialists. Usually I’ll throw in an occasional snarky comment, but tonight I made the mistake of trying to debate with a full on socialist with TDS.
What the hell was I thinking? It turned into a complete shit show. Never once were any arguments countered with other arguments of fact. It was non stop projection and assigning evil motives to anything I said. All it did was piss me off and drag me down into the weeds. I feel dumber for the effort. I need to spend more time here at my safe space.

artist’s statement
There is a statue of Lenin in Seattle. I mistakenly wrote Portland. Wiki sez:
***
The Statue of Lenin, Seattle, is a 16 ft (5 m) bronze statue of Communist revolutionary Vladimir Lenin, by Bulgarian sculptor Emil Venkov. It was completed and put on display in the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic in 1988, the year before the Velvet Revolution of 1989. In 1993 the statue was bought by an American who had found it lying in a scrapyard. He brought it home to Washington state, but died before he could carry out his plans for displaying the Soviet era memento.

About 80% of the Sanders quotes in my story are real. I only had to add a few things to make it flow.
And for no reason at all:
“Thank you for being with us tonight, Mr Buttchug.”
“Buttigieg.”
“Oh, sorry. As I was saying Mr Bootyjudge…”
“Buttigieg. The name is Bu-tti-gieg.”
“Right. Anyway, many people have been saying that Pete Bootyfudge…”
“Buttigieg!”
“Please, Mr. Buddha’s got jugs…”
“It’s Buttigieg! Buttigieg, Buttigieg, Buttigieg!”
“….Susan?”
“Ooh, you’re doing it *on purpose*! How juvenile.”
I assumed you changed the name of the city to protect the innocent.
I think it’s because I associate Portland with commies and Seattle with Meg Ryan.

Williams College suspended male student for not dating girl after kissing her: lawsuit
https://www.thecollegefix.com/williams-college-suspended-male-student-for-not-dating-girl-after-kissing-her-lawsuit/
***
Sally “expressed anger about what she saw as Doe’s cultural insensitivity around their prior interaction” – failing to seek a romantic relationship with her after showing physical affection.
While John told Sally he was “emotionally unavailable,” he again asked to kiss her, and she agreed again. The suit claims that he “asked Smith before initiating any new touching and did nothing without her consent.”
She rejected his first request to touch her breasts but approved his second request a few minutes later.
Several days later, John asked Sally why her friends were “treating him strangely.” She told him he had “emotionally manipulat[ed]” her, “tak[en] advantage of [her] lack of knowledge of American cultural norms” and “disrespect[ed]” her own cultural norms.
But what panicked John was when Sally allegedly said she “had lots of people ready to hurt him.”

Just set up an office where you (or, someone you know) went to school, with a copy of their policies and student handbook, and advertise that you fight Title IX cases. Pretty soon, you’ll be franchising your Law-Mart practices all over the place.
Speaking of–any late-nighters want to pontificate on why private schools (that ostensibly make a profit) seem to be far better for standard education, but for-profit is heresy for universities? I mean, what changes? Why are “public” schools better than “for profit” schools? Is there a correlation between the primary school part and the university part?
Sucked me in for one more. The crassness of a monetary motive vs noble academia? For colleges, for profit schools are one step above diploma mills or sometimes not even that.
I identify as culturally unpredictable and therefore norm-fluid.
Off to sleep

You’ll need some sleep if you intend to go out and get fresh this weekend.
Jail time for licking ice cream? Have yourself a Bluebell country 30 days!
Wondered what happened to him. Of course, piss on ‘Homemade Vanilla’.
I think it’s 5 years for pissing on it.
“Go urinate at home, son!”
“But it says ‘home’ right on the carton!”
Eh that’s the best I got.
It works. Especially around my area.
I just learned that the UK has a Bluebell (Blue Bell?) creameries, too, so any expansion may be met with legal troubles. I just like the commercials I hear about 23898 times a year during baseball games.
Oddly enough, I haven’t seen a commercial in a while. I presume something happened due to the whatever-it-was disease that got associated with them a year or two ago–maybe affected their ad budget?
Not enough time, imo.
Apparently I had a piece of steel wire embedded at least 1/4″ (just over 6mm for Pie) into the skin just under my right kneecap since yesterday. I didn’t feel it until this morning. I think I must have skinned my knees enough times as a lad to build up a sufficient callus there.
Yeeesh! sounds awful.
Only if it gets infected. No pain whatsoever. There was a story on TV the other night about a guy who ended up with severe complications including an infection that led to partial paralysis and chronic pain, all because of an ingrowing hair in his spine.
That is absolutely horrendous. “Spine hair”….
It’s still just about zero dark thirty for the centrals and westward, but as the sunlight breaks across the Atlantic horizon, the east coast early bird otherwise known as UCS should be logging on any moment.
I’m a night person, I just have to get to work.
Hey buddy, I run the psychic racket around here.

Pass.
That seems bass-ackward to me. Of course, I’m appalled that they come in adult sizes at all.

I guess I need to stock up on tp and bourbon. Right?
Bourbon for sure but as long as the shower is still working you don’t really need TP.
Don’t take hygene advice from someone called “Stinky”

Did the tortoise actually get a bite?

Some thin is broken…
Insufficient robustness does lead to breakage from time to time.
Another shite-night at work but thanks to Mojo and HM I cracked some brews and fell into a Vulfpeck rabbit hole for an hour or so. Feel much better now.
“Hey there you duck-walking little bitch! Howsabout we talk about how MY job is totally reactive and if you want the changes that you so plainly wish to see, put on your big boy pants and be proactive for once?” Festus has no hand.
Okay…
Ahhhh, just bitching about the situation. The Custodian has no power over who, why and what makes the mess he’s just expected to clean it up. We’ve had some problems lately with the filthy trailers on the dock. I cleaned it last night and the big-wig strolled in after a shift had run over my floors and said it didn’t look clean enough. I was chewing rebar and spitting nails.
Was he implying you should have somehow managed to keep it spotless during use, or that it needed to be cleaned again?
Kinda both. I don’t know what his fucking problem is. We’ve worked together for four years and I thought that I’d trained him in the ways of the building but he is an ambitious little duck. I missed five weeks and am still catching up but this is getting punch-in-the-nose quality unearned criticism. I’m about ready to do that and bail.
You know, having considered this briefly, I’d like to state that Vulfpeck are the real renegades of funk. I mean, Afrika Bambaaaaaataaa had the afro-futuristic cool vjos and the costumes and the drum machines, but it just wasn’t renegadey enough.
They’re incredibly talented and it doesn’t hurt that the style of music they play reminds me of late-70’s TV theme songs…
This is my all time favourite. So thick and heavy like funk molasses. Imagine me dancing to this at home like Mr. Bean, with a few head spins.

I always preferred Blackadder to Bean.
Yup.
It’s worth it to find the video of his stand-up act.
Ah, and here it is.
Thanks, Youtube!
