Tuesday night links tale of fail

by | Jun 23, 2020 | Daily Links | 348 comments

I think I need to have the AC checked.

As we all know, Mad Scientist fancies himself a “car enthusiast”, a “race car driver”, if you will. Life had a nasty little lesson for our intrepid Dale Earnhardt wannabe last weekend.

We’ve been regaled with stories of installing a switch for this doohickey, a dongle for that. All last week is was the traveling troubles of Mad Scientist’s new toolbox. The car won’t run right without it.

Fast forward, and we find “Cha Cha” Shirley Muldowney behind the wheel, ready to rain down some vengeance on the competition. Green Flag! We’re off!

Mad Scientist ran a masterful race. He lapped everyone in the field and was cruising to a victory until “the troubles”. How did the race end? With our beloved MS half a lap behind in second place. Why? You ask. All of this preparation? The mental calisthenics just to prepare for the ordeal? The new toolbox? Where did it all go wrong?!?

Yeah,  it was hot, so during the race, the crew went into the air conditioned trailer and forgot to take the radio. As a result, our intrepid Jackie Stewart missed an opportunity to take advantage of a caution flag, leaving him the track to himself, as the rest of the field went to the pits, costing our now flailing friend a lap.

The moral of the story? You’re only as good as the people you surround yourself with.

 

And now, the links!

 

Great news for the US tour industry!

 

Any idea what the fat kid wants this time?

 

Why would they?

 

Ha ha! Made you look!

 

All right, which one of you did this?

 

The ultimate Karen.

 

Traffic looks a little heavy tonight.

        You are sloppy second, pal, and don’t even know it.

      • Tres Cool

        I even let you sleep for 2 minutes. You’re like that kid of John Force’s at the starting line.

    • Spudalicious

      Yep. Came out of his head. Lots of blood vessels in the scalp.

      • Yusef drives a Kia

        Head cuts always look awesome, your like meh… and everyone else is freaking out…..

      • Spudalicious

        Pretty much. Spurting blood will always get my immediate attention.

      • Jarflax

        Because you know the spurting proves he is still alive and you need to fire a second shot?

  2. Sean

    Tucker claims the FBI sent 15 agents to investigate #fakenoose. That seems unlikely, doesn’t it?

    • Ownbestenemy

      I can see some local FBI office doing that.

    • Tacit Rainbow

      That is 100% how the FBI works. There’s plenty of levels of “agents”.

    • straffinrun

      Why unlikely?

      • Sean

        Dunno. Just reeks of overkill.

      • Gustave Lytton

        News stories elsewhere are reporting same number. I was a bit surprised.

      • Sean

        The X-files lied to us.

      • Drake

        How many FBI Agents dies it take to identify a door loop?

        Fewer than the number of NASCAR drivers and mechanics.

    “All right, which one of you did this?”

    I saw that. It’s too stupid to be real.

      • Tundra

        Local guys, so I know them well!

        Also Dan Wilson has become extremely wealthy writing Grammy winning songs for other people.

        but I get your point.

      • Yusef drives a Kia

    That prospect, which would lump American visitors in with Russians and Brazilians as unwelcome, is a stinging blow to American prestige in the world and a repudiation of President Trump’s handling of the virus in the United States

    You can’t even get through the second paragraph of most news articles these days. Who, what, when, where. Not anymore. Gotta through in your opinion immediately.

    • Bob Boberson

      That’s because they know 9/10 people will do the same as you did, give up on the article by paragraph 2. The sad thing is I think 8 of those 9 subconsciously say…..”Ok, I know what to think how I feel about this now.”

      • straffinrun

        There’s a difference between clicking off because something is clearly biased and stop reading because you think you know full story. I feel the same way when I read Breitbart. All news is biased and always has been, just don’t make it so easy for me to spot it.

      • Bob Boberson

        Exactly. Like you point out I think the old standard was ‘inform up front, then manipulate opinion’ whereas now they’ve pivoted to ‘tell them how to feel about it and then casually slip in some facts.’

        It probably says as much about our attention spans in the modern age as it does about the state of journalism.

      • straffinrun

        Used to be some people in MSM that would enjoy pointing out mistakes that their team was making. Only alternative media is doing that now.

      • Agent Cooper

        Andrew Breitbart the man was interesting to listen to. The site he started is now an epic shitshow.

    • Yusef drives a Kia

      Truly a wretched Hive of Scum and Villainy

    • Naptown Bill

      I’m disappointed there weren’t examples, because the premise is hilarious, maybe even more so if true.

    Power back from his sister is my guess

    • Fourscore

      My belief, based on opinion only (but its a strong opinion) is the Lil Sis is wearing the big boy pants these days. I think the Fat Feller is history. He’s been out of sight for too long and Sis is putting the moves on.

    “He’s always wanted to slow down the testing because the testing — when it’s in big numbers, when it’s accurate — it makes him look bad. I believe that’s called criminal negligence, when you say I’m not going to do the testing.

    Trump makes joke about exactly this and Joy thinks he thinks exactly this.

    • LemonGrenade

      What was the saying? The media takes Trump literally but not seriously, whereas his fans take him seriously but not literally? Yeah, that.

      • straffinrun

        They mistake self-deprecating humor with self-defecating humor.

      • Digby's Peek-A-Boo!

        It IS some wacky shit.

    • Chafed

      He has said he’s serious. Don’t worry. By tomorrow he will deny it.

      • straffinrun

        Has he? I only caught that joke he made in Tulsa and assume that is what Joy is referring to. I don’t listen much to Trump because he gives me a headache.

      • JaimeRoberto Delecto

        I can have a dry sense of humor. When somebody calls me on it and says “you must be joking” I come back with the same reply as Trump. Maybe he’s being serious, but I highly doubt it because I say the same kind of stuff.

    • Ownbestenemy

      So…blackface is okay again!?

    • Jarflax

      I wonder what language Google translated that speech from?

    College football coach placed on administrative leave because he called a player retarded. College says that it will not tolerate racism in any form.

    If you believe that calling someone retarded is racist, the inescapable conclusion is that you yourself are a flaming racist. Because the only way to claim that that is racist is to believe that black people are inherently stupid. Otherwise it is not a race based insult.

    • Ownbestenemy

      To be honest, the whole statement is “We will not tolerate any form of racism, discrimination or bias on our campus, including our athletic programs,”

      • Ted S.

        To be fair, how are retards getting into college unless they’re on the football team?

      • Tundra

        You spelled ‘boring’ wrong.

      • Brochettaward

        I was going to post his message. It’s obvious he isn’t in school for his smarts:

        “Coach Vic is not a bad person and he does mean well in many [different] aspects but his heinous actions toward us over rules the good things he has done and many of us are uncomfortable being around him,” Martin wrote on Twitter. “I didn’t want to bring negativity to the program but with everything going on, for him to still act this way and feel okay with saying what he said is not okay. Enough is enough.”

      • cyto

        Well then. There you go!

        Society gets what it deserves when its sides with that.

      • Naptown Bill

        I mean, I’m not perfect myself, but when you complain about someone calling you a retard during practice in a tweet where you misspell “overrules” as “over rules” such that it looks like you’re saying his heinous actions towards you were in regard to rules…

        …Retardo Montalban.

      • Jarflax

        When you complain publicly that your football coach called you a retard you are not just a retard you are a pussy, a snitch, and an all around failure as a man.

      • cyto

        Well you cannot claim it is bias. And you cannot claim it is discrimination.

      • Fourscore

        So no more SAT tests or any others, ’cause they may be discriminatory towards the athletes. Makes sense to me. West Virginia will only be having Education Majors from now on?

    • Ted S.

      I guess we can see who doesn’t read the comments.

      “….they were dismissive at the outset of the crisis, slow to respond to scientific advice and saw a boom of domestic cases as other parts of the world, notably in Europe and Asia, were slowly managing to get their outbreaks under control.”

      Way to go to rewrite how things went down. Health officials in several countries – including Canada – downplayed it (and quite frankly, I think their initial hunch was more correct than wrong. They could have moved quicker and isolate the elderly and be more surgical and let the stupid run through the rest of the population to achieve antibodies or whatever it is to get to herd immunity. Instead, they wanted to ‘stop the spread’ by locking down and in doing so just delayed the whole thing) and they weren’t following science. But they did react to manipulated and faulty data to OVER REACT with a lockdown.

      I’m not so sure where they get off talking this way given Belgium, UK, Spain, Sweden, France, Netherlands, Ireland, Italy (with Switzerland being slightly better) to be worse than the US on a per case/death basis.

        No, but after my annual doctor’s visit, apparently I need an extra liver.

      • Jarflax

        I’d make a joke, but after watching a friend go through liver failure and a transplant last year, I won’t.

      • salted earth

        I think with livers you can just carve a bit off a fresh one and implant. We’ve got some Mormons around 😉 😉

        Yo- my liver so black & fat, it coulda starred in ‘Precious’

      • TARDIS

        Seriously though, my doctor said knock it off or you will need a transplant. Of course nursey wife said, “you ain’t gettin’ a transplant if you’re still drinkin’.”

      I thought men who rescue cats always have women drooling on the comments section.

      I thought the women liked guys who aren’t ashamed to love a cat, but maybe it has to be the “rescue” part too.

    A buddy and I have started sharing what we call HOA Karen posts from our neighborhood face derp groups. Amazing how much passive aggressiveness there is. Today he sent me the best post yet. Apparently a Karen called the cops on another neighbor because her underaged daughter told her that a neighbor stared at her and talked to her. That guy is gonna have a hard time shaking off the neighborhood creeper label.

        I thought there was a pic of it…well, a still from video. Then again, I know there is at least one pic of one of these ‘loops’ on a garage door in one of the pits, somewhere…

        Point is, there seems to be plenty of merit to the defense that these loops are common at some (if not most) of the tracks.

      • Chafed

        No doubt. I just find the hazy reporting incredible.

        “Hazy” is both accurate, and, charitable.

        I’ve seen dozens and dozens of those loops on the end of garage door pulls. That the FBI is sending in a bunch of agents to investigate one is shockingly laughable, even on today’s climate of idiocy.

      • KSuellington

        There is a guy at the corner mart where I buy beer that occasionally will go on a chem trail rant. If I provoke him I can get one of the rants at will.

      It’s been “the law” in MA since the beginning of May. It’s not enforced. I’ve never worn one outdoors. I’m doing everything possible not to wear it anywhere indoors: Costco, CVS, Saks Fifth Avenue, IKEA, grocery stores. All of them. The employees don’t care.

      • Digby's Peek-A-Boo!

        Hell, the Costcos around here, in N. Texas, are requiring masks. So, if you’ve been able to ‘get away’ w/o one, kudos to you!

      • grrizzly

        I take it off as soon as I pass the bouncer at Costco. The cashiers don’t care.

      • Digby's Peek-A-Boo!

        Huh….even so, it’s still impressive. I haven’t tried that, and, the vibe I’ve had when visiting is that the cashiers would definitely say something, if a roving Karen (M or F) didn’t shriek first.

      • Chafed

        Yeah my local Costco requires them. There is lots of sloppy usage inside.

      • salted earth

      In the United States on BBC America it fared far worse. Ratings for the final episode clocked in at .12 in the 18-49 demographic. Total viewership according to TV Series Finale was only 374,000.

      The premiere episode had 790,000 viewers. The show lost over 52% of its total viewership on BBC America in just 10 episodes.

    While some still try to sell gun control after nationwide rioting, looting and a few high-profile police misconduct cases, Americans aren’t buying it. Instead, they’re buying guns and ammo at a record pace. In fact, they are buying so much that gun shops simply can’t keep product on the shelves.
