Fat fuck, I hope he chokes on all that delicious cake.
Labor Day. Celebration of the working man. The backbone of the collective. The only appropriate way to view this day is to pretend you’re a NYC teacher in the rubber room and fuck off for full pay. Or bbq and beer, whichever you can swing.
Now we’ve REALLY got him!
I think we’re well past the point where it’s time to send in some Pinkerton men.
Then again, there’s been some great entertainment.
Just when the Brits let their guard down, we strike again with a secret weapon.
Ol’ commie Pope sure has his finger on the pulse of current events.
New York looks at Oregon and says, “hold my beer”.
It’s a holiday Monday, no need to get all wound up. Let’s ease into it.
Sooner or later someone’s going to get sick of this nonsense and go full Beastie Boys on the protesters.
Check the video. They had at least one 280 lb linebacker leading the charge into the restaurant knocking over tables in the West End.
We’re not far from somebody unloading in response.
I’m just as angry at all the r-tards with their fucking cameras obsessively trained on the violence.
How so?
I just find it unseemly when someone’s first response to rioting, looting, and such is to point their phone at it instead of, you know, helping.
OTOH video evidence is useful so I’m not being entirely rational here.
I’ve pondered whether I should get a body cam for going out to a restaurant. Truly retarded times we’re living in.
Just don’t forget your face diaper.
I have a body cam which I wear when out and about in places where there are a high percentage of young ‘uns. Too many of my bad experiences in life have been with groups of kids that were acting like a pack of animals.
I haven’t had much reason to wear it during the pan(dem)ic. Go figure.
I can see it either way. Most people wouldn’t help anyway, so maybe videoing it is a bigger help than they’d otherwise be.
Vultures, most of them. But yeah, agreed.
IMO, it’s important for it to be documented. So the dude filming didn’t help. Nobody else did, either.

During 100 days of protests, Portland police have declared riots on 26 days.
So, mostly peaceful.
riots are violent only to white supremacy
During 1 bajillion Student-Days at school, there have been like 20 mass shootings- so, you know, a massive epidemic requiring us to amend the Bill of Rights and disarm all law abiding citizens.

Authorities placed a spit hood on Prude during the arrest
My imagination is my Google, but feel free to fill me in on whatever that is.
Also from that story:
Prude — who was discovered running around the city streets naked and reportedly high on PCP in March — died following the detainment by Rochester police. Authorities placed a spit hood on Prude during the arrest, and reportedly pressed his face into the pavement.
These are indeed the end times. A Prude running around the streets naked?
I’m guessing cops get spit on a lot.
Basically a fabric bag (pillow case?), I assume.
Is it pointy on top?
These are the same people who would say that not wearing a mask is equivalent to killing someone. Yet they oppose putting a hood on someone who is spitting.
BLM looters are borderline hobos acting like thugs. They can easily be rounded up and beat to a pulp. The question is why it’s not being done. Are they being protected?
One day those people are gonna end up in the wrong neighbourhood run by the mob. And then it will be ‘now youz can’t leave’. Oh how I pray that happens.
acting like thugs – that’s racist
They can easily be rounded up and beat to a pulp – hate speech and instigation to violence

And the natives become more restless
Two Democratic strategists who recently viewed focus groups of suburban voters described high-propensity voters increasingly concerned about unrest in urban centers, though both strategists said it was unclear whether that concern would push them to Biden or to Trump.
One of the strategists described a focus group in which white, college-educated women reacted to the protests by discussing their own property values and, in one woman’s case, her family’s mortgage.
“White women who have college degrees are starting to really get sick of this,” the strategist said.

Far left: “we’d like wealth redistribution, universal healthcare, and a Green New Deal.”
Far right: “we’d like to kill the Jews and communists.”
Centrists: “damn, which is the greater threat???”
https://twitter.com/GravelInstitute/status/1302630680501903360
This anti centrist stick of the left is getting old and was never even remotely clever
Me: “incredibly charitable interpretation of my politics”
Them: “bad faith strawman of their politics”
Communists never wanted to kill all the kulaks and centrists. But they just had to. Felt they owed it to them.
Anyone who understands what ‘wealth redistribution’ actually entails, and the relative influence of the two groups referenced can quickly conclude which is the greater threat. History is purposefully not taught.
The key problem for the supposedly moderate-left is that the far left (purports to) care about the same issues as they do, such as poverty, climate change, rape, racism etc. As a result they’re deluded into thinking that the far left essentially means well, even if they don’t explicitly agree with them. Most soft lefties don’t want societal upheaval, but are happy to pal around with those who do.
What they can’t seem to grasp is that there’s a difference between diagnosis and cure, and that advocating a system that relies on mass theft and murder is evil even if your motives are supposedly pure.
Not that has much to do with your link – which is just mendacious rubbish.
even if your motives are supposedly pure. – but we are at a point in history where you can no longer believe motives are pure. They are by hate, envy and power hunger. There is no longer doubt about this.
Definitely true of the central figures. But by claiming to provide an instant solution to difficult problems they attract a lot of hangers-on who probably do care about the central issue.
Likely quite a lot of the fringe protestors for something like Extinction Rebellion are actually motivated by panic about climate change, rather than a deep-seated urge to smash everything and ruin everyone’s lives.
A lot of them are also babies who think the government should be their all-powerful mummy and daddy, so if the state hasn’t fixed the problem it must be because they’re not really trying.

I don’t get it. The kid isn’t even white, its not like he’s going to shoot the school up.

“No, you cannot come in.”
Seriously though, why’d they let the cops talk to their son?
“No, you cannot come in.”
Officer: No problem sir, we’ll be back with CPS. We believe your home is a dangerous environment so your son, along with your children, will be put in a safe place. You can petition the court for your children back.
HSLDA is filled with these kind of horror stories of CPS being sicced just like this homeschooling families. It takes time to get your children back, even assuming everything goes perfectly in your favor, and the judges are almost always strongly biased against the parents. The children had the shit beat out of them, even to the extent of a broken arm, in a foster home while going through this process in the last article I read.
I don’t have recent experience, but this sound about right, right here. Simultaneously, there’s a kid getting brutally abused and reported to them and they ditch out on doing anything about it until he’s killed. Government workers screw things up. When they try and do really important things like protect children, it ain’t no different.
Yep. Most of the time, the cops will be on your side in a situation like this. It’s better to just get it over with unless they prove to be unreasonable. If you force them to involve child protective services, then there’s no telling what might happen. The CPS people might also be on your side, but at that point you’re caught in the clutches of the bureaucracy so it doesn’t really matter.

Bruley said Biden “needs to get out and go places a bit more” to counter Trump. And in nearby Oakland County, Mich., Vaughn Derderian, the chair of the local Democratic Party, suggested Biden may be especially qualified to discuss race and violence in the suburbs.
Unlike Trump, a septuagenarian white man who is relying on what may be an antiquated vision of the suburbs, Biden is a septuagenarian white man who is laboring, often awkwardly, to catch up to what they have become.
“It really does feel like Biden himself is almost the best candidate for this moment because of who he is as a person and his ability to talk about racial justice and racial equality in a way that sounds like a traditional white, suburban guy,” Derderian said. “He doesn’t particularly sound woke, but you also understand that he gets it and that he’s trying to look at these problems in a realistic way.”
Yup. Everywhere I look, I see just what I expected to see.
“They gonna yall back in chains!” Yep, sounds like every level-headed suburbanite.

He-Man-Woman-Hater-in-Chief
President Donald Trump is coming after Laurene Powell Jobs, the philanthropist billionaire who owns a majority stake in The Atlantic. The sixth-richest woman in the world, Jobs is the widow of Apple (AAPL) co-founder Steve Jobs.
Trump said Laurene Powell Jobs, who has a net worth of $33.3 billion according to Bloomberg and $20.2 billion, according to Forbes, is “wasting money” Steve Jobs left her after he died by owning the magazine that published a damaging report about him last week.
On Thursday, The Atlantic published a story written by its editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg that reported four anonymous sources said Trump called Americans who died in battle “losers” and “suckers.”
The article outlines Trump’s derogatory remarks about service members and their intelligence. The Atlantic also reported that Trump asked for wounded veterans to be kept out of military parades. CNN has confirmed some aspects of The Atlantic’s story.
In response to the story in The Atlantic, Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden tweeted, “Here’s my promise to you: If I have the honor of serving as the next commander in chief, I will ensure that our American heroes know that I will have their back and honor their sacrifice. Always.”
President Cartoon Villain would never have dared to call out the owner of the Atlantic over that smear job if it were a man. Billionaire philanthropist women are an easy target.
*CNN has confirmed some aspects of The Atlantic’s story.*
There is, in fact, a World War I cemetery in France. Story = true.
Trump said Laurene Powell Jobs, who has a net worth of $33.3 billion according to Bloomberg and $20.2 billion, according to Forbes, is “wasting money” Steve Jobs left her after he died by owning the magazine – he is not wrong
Can I have that $10.1B if no one can notice the difference?
Laureen Jobs, golddigger extraordinaire.
I’ll give her some credit though, she suffered through at least a decade of putting up with Steve.
Heh.
I’ve heard stories about working for him.
I wonder if Goldberg wrote Biden’s tweet, too. “Here ya go, Joe. Remember to wait twenty minutes or so.”
*spits coffee*
They confirmed that it was reported by the Atlantic. Your calling them liars?

Bravo
Trump, in his Sunday morning tweet, was responding to Charlie Kirk, the chair of pro-Trump student group Trump Students. Kirk implied an ulterior motive, noting that Laurene Powell Jobs donated to Biden and owns the magazine that published the story about Trump.
Laurene Powell Jobs inherited billions of dollars of stock in Apple and Disney from her late husband after he died in 2011. She founded The Emerson Collective, a social change organization focused on education, immigration reform, the environment, media and journalism and health. In 2017, The Emerson Collective bought a majority stake in The Atlantic. It also owns a stake in Axios.

100 days of fucking rioting. I can’t even imagine what that place is gonna look like after it’s all over. I was in our Uptown area on Saturday and there are still plenty of places boarded up. There was also some kind of demonstration going on. Blah.
And Rochester. Sweet jesus, things are gonna go sideways fast if this is the new tactic. It’s one thing smashing buildings, but once you start attacking normies, I gotta believe there will be a response from some quarter.
The failed monarchists link, however, gave me a chuckle. Do you think the kid wakes up every morning, looks over at the harpie, and asks himself “what the hell was I thinking?!?”
I hope everyone has a great day of grilling, drinking and happiness. Why the fuck not?
I think I’m going to go to the office and work.
Office? I have vague memories of such things.
It won’t be from the residents of that neighborhood – they’re all good-thinking sympathizers.
I can see roving gangs with pitchforks assembling in more hard-scrabble neighborhoods of the sort I grew up in, though.

Getting a vaccine is the most important thing in human history
Russian authorities have singled out teachers — as well as doctors — as key workers who will get access to the vaccine first, even before crucial phase 3 human trials have finished.
But that’s not gone down well with some sections of these frontline workers who don’t buy Putin’s claims of the efficacy of the vaccine and are reluctant to be used as human guinea pigs.
On September 1, Russian classrooms reopened for the first time since March amid the Covid-19 pandemic — the same day the country surpassed 1 million coronavirus cases. Teachers were meant to be among the first to benefit from Russia’s new coronavirus vaccine, especially given the close contact with hundreds of children that they are exposed to on a daily basis. But CNN is learning that few — if any — have so far taken up the offer to be vaccinated.
Developed by the Moscow-based Gamaleya Institute, the Sputnik-V vaccine was named after the surprise 1957 launch of the world’s first satellite by the Soviet Union.
Russia’s claim of victory at being the first to approve a coronavirus vaccine in a worldwide pandemic was initially met with widespread concern and unanswered questions over its safety and effectiveness, and not just from outside the country.
A Russian teachers’ union, “Uchitel,” started an online petition calling on members to reject the vaccine outright on safety grounds, and expressing concern that vaccination — currently voluntary — should not be made mandatory unless clinical trials are complete.
Toxic individualism strikes again. Those people need to read their copy of the social contract.

I really dislike the debates Dave Smith does. I’ll catch up on what the glib reviews are.
It was pretty bad. The CATO dude was really a caricature of the new wave of ‘libertarian’. I’ve heard most of the shows in question and the dude made exactly zero salient points.
Dave was Dave. He should have ignored this one, but I think he enjoys a scrap. I understand that, but man, if this Craig dude is indicative of the LP party insider, I think I’m starting to see why Woods calls them the loser brigade.
There was one funny moment when Dave asked if the guy worked on the Weld campaign. He indignantly replied “I worked for Gary Johnson”. Gold.

They went inside the restaurant too along with screaming in patrons faces and physically assault. They’re putting innocents in a very difficult position. Trying to flee with young children through a riot like that doesn’t seem the best position for armed families caught in that. What a horrible position to be put in.
I think the worst part in all of this is the politicization of prosecutions. Americans defending their families from from these thugs would be charged with mass murder and have their children stripped from them just in the name of politics. It’s a really disturbing spiral. The Rittenhouse prosecution is a pivotal moment for this country. The next person defending themselves may not be so quick to turn themselves in for a sham trial and others may rally to prevent it.
“armed families”
Not likely in New York.
They’re expanding out beyond liberal stronghold states now. Riots just happened in Raleigh, NC.
That depends. Plenty of armed folks in the less trendy neighborhoods.
They’ve destroyed one of the few bright spots in a city that has steadily lost population since the 1950’s. I hope they’re proud of themselves.

President Donald Trump’s longtime lawyer and personal fixer, Michael Cohen, alleges in a new book that Trump made “overt and covert attempts to get Russia to interfere in the 2016 election” and that the future commander in chief was also well aware of Cohen’s hush-money payoff to adult-film star Stormy Daniels during that campaign.

Who said you could do that?
More than 1,000 people gathered at San Francisco’s Ocean Beach on Saturday to celebrate Burning Man culture, according to the mayor, who shut down the beach’s parking lot in response.
“This was absolutely reckless and selfish,” Mayor London Breed tweeted Sunday morning. “You are not celebrating. You are putting people’s lives at risk. You are putting our progress at risk. No one is immune from spreading the virus.”
——-
But people gathered on Saturday anyway in San Francisco, and video from Craig Fowler showed a large group dancing in front of a stage with a DJ and another showed fire dancers on the beach.
Fowler said many people were wearing masks, but the mayor does not want the event to continue. Breed closed the parking lot serving the beach and warned attendees not to return for another round Sunday night.
“Don’t do it,” she tweeted. “Law enforcement will be patrolling. We know people love Burning Man and people want to get together this weekend. But we all need to do our part. Stay home, stay safe.”
They should have had their party downtown, and burned a furniture store. That would have been okay.

Only 51 and sunny here, but I’ll take it!
Throw on a hoodie and you should be golden.
So jealous
We are going from a high of 114 today down to like 80 tomorrow. This is how I get sick and everyone will think I have the commie plague.

San Francisco gym owners livid after discovering gyms in government buildings have been opened for months
We’ve been played for suckers.
Fuckers. It’s all been pure politics. Keep the populace scared.
“The gyms that have been open for government employees include those for police officers, judges, lawyers, bailiffs, and paralegals, according to the report. One such gym, the Hall of Justice gym, has been open since July 1.
“It just demonstrates that there seems to be some kind of a double standard between what city employees are allowed to do and what the residents of San Francisco are allowed to do,” Dave Karraker, owner of MX3 Fitness in the Castro, said.”
“seems”
How didn’t they not know this? The political class doesn’t have to suffer like the proles.
We have a gym on our installation, it has been open this whole time.
I am shocked.
We’ve been played for suckers.
Yep
The stench of entitlement that emanates from the government worker class, is a big part of why I want to get the hell away from DC…
You wouldn’t want your leaders to compromise their health by not working out, would you?
I’m not picky about how my leaders compromise their health. Just so long as they do it.
It’s about character
At its heart, the 2020 presidential campaign has always been about character. Even a life-altering pandemic, an economic calamity and a national racial reckoning have become tests of the incumbent’s constitution: Whether Trump cared enough to confront a health crisis, whether he understood the suffering of out-of-work Americans and whether he could speak with compassion to those who have historically been oppressed in the United States.
Former Vice President Joe Biden, the Democratic nominee, has expressly made Trump’s character the central argument of his campaign, and has been candid that he might not be running for president right now if the incumbent were a traditional Republican and not someone who — in Biden’s telling — lacks the moral authority to lead the country.
Character assassination, anyway.
Let’s pretend every President who has gone before him was perfect and noble in every way. Saintly, kind, generous, loving, gracious.
Two yuge Trump boat parades here this weekend suggest to me that the message they are trying to deliver isn’t working.
For Trump on the St. Croix River
For Trump on Lake Minnetonka
Our feckless commie shitrag Star Tribune didn’t find either of these stories newsworthy. I wonder why?
And yes, Lake Minnetonka was the one in Purple Rain that Prince evoked to get Apollonia Kotero naked and purifying herself. Thanks, Prince!
Also where he suggested Charlie Murphy could do so as well.
Yes!

Climate changers get it right. Trump supports fossil fuel/global warming/ and girls in bikinis.
OFFS!
If only Trump was more like Nixon. Reagan or Bush. These were republicans the left was happy to work with.
Fact Check: TRUE
If the 2016 candidate was a traditional Republican, Herself would have loaded successfully instead of taking a page fault in Midwest.so, hence Biden would not be running now.

That’s a lotta lady. I had to laugh, no wonder people are starving in the US.
My question is, who are the white people requiring this as a condition of employment? Those people need their collective asses beat to a bloody pulp.
HR for liability reasons, apparently.
It’s one thing to have some sort of “sensitivity and inclusion” mumbo jumbo, but to be forced to sit there while a privileged sack of shit calls you a racist is a whole new level of assholery.
HR, but it’s not for liability reasons. HR departments the world over are infested with these pomo nimrods.

I saw that Stephen Miller (redsteeze) put one of his podcasts outside the paywall, so I decided to check it out. It’s pretty good. Interesting stuff about the timing of media dropping articles and how they’re violating all the old rules of journalism.

About 30 minutes in, he discusses the ramifications of the deals with Israel (that have happened recently) for Iran, the Palestinians and the US. Why is most media so fucking dumb? Where do you go to get good info like that?
Six sequels that outdo the original film
https://life.spectator.co.uk/articles/six-sequels-that-outdo-the-original-film/
‘Sequels are whores’ movies’, the great screenwriter William Goldman once opined. As with so much that Goldman said, it’s pithy, witty and often accurate. All of us have been lured into cinemas with the promise of the continuation of a great film, only to be sorely disappointed by the cynicism of a lazy cash-in. Several of these have deservedly gone down as some of the worst pictures ever made: there is no need for any sensible person to watch Dirty Dancing 2: Havana Nights or Jaws: The Revenge.
I was expecting some more obscure picks
I actually agree with most of those, but they forgot the most relevant:
Godfather II.
Yes. Godfather II is the best sequel ever.
Evil Dead 2?
Seconded! (See what I did there?)
Oo, nice pick
He mostly started with popular but crappy movies, which makes it an easier game.
My nomination is Asian Nurses 7.
Good choice, but i thought it got derivative.
Not like the sublime Asian Nurses 4, which I found to be a tour de force.
Is it necessary to watch them sequentially to follow the story line?
Debbie does FT.Worth?
No argument with Godfather II — I would argue with the article writer in that Supremacy was better than Ultimatum (which frankly just set the pattern for “re-use all the good beats of Supremacy” endemic to all the following films).
And while TMP had issues, it was a box office success — so I think you really have to put Wrath of Khan in that list.
This x1701
No disrespect to that fine movie, but they’re wrong right out of the gate.
*soldiers on*
Ditto.
*taps out*
Terminator 2 was a technically beautiful movie, but at the cost of what made Terminator great. The whole thing about Terminator was that the war with the machines was a foregone conclusion. Reese loved Sarah Conner, and her son sent him, knowing he would die- and he did it despite this knowledge. The whole T2 “Only fate but what you make” destroyed that story line, thereby removing the emotional weight of the sacrifice from the first film. And at the same time, it ruined the franchise. The 3rd movie- while inferior in almost every way- at least understood that the whole heart of the series was that the war was always going to happen.
(Mind you, I don’t subscribe to this fatalistic “pre-ordained” world view in my normal life, but I can appreciate it in art. Fate was always a great mechanic in the Greek myths, and it is pretty good in Terminator.)
I disagree that Alien was better than Aliens, though.
Agree on T2 – hadn’t put that much thought into it before 🙂
As for Alien(s), they’re so different it’s hard to pick one. The claim was that the sequel “outdid” the original and I can’t agree with that unless they simply mean “more action” or something.
The Bourne Ultimatum wasn’t really a sequel, and while it was better than the lazy cash grab that was Supremacy, it wasn’t as good as Identity.
No love for American Psycho II?
“Earlier this year, the U.S. intelligence community warned China, Russia, and Iran are seeking to influence the 2020 election. That assessment, released in August by Bill Evanina, who leads the National Counterintelligence and Security Center, said Russia is “using a range of measures to primarily denigrate” Biden. The same report said China wants President Trump to lose reelection and that the Iran regime is seeking to undermine his presidency.”
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/kamala-harris-russian-interference-could-cost-us-the-election
So the Russians and Chinese cancel out?
I wonder which one of the two is an actual threat to us in any respect.
Maybe neither as far as who votes for who is concerned.
Foreign entities have tried to influence every election, succession, crowning, etc since the dawn of organized government. Yet the news wants everyone to believe this is a new thing only when OMB showed up on the scene.

“Overdose Awareness Day: How Drug Overdoses and White Supremacy Are Linked in the U.S.
The belief that some people who use drugs deserve compassion and care and others don’t — which underpins U.S. drug policy and enforcement — is a relic from a nativist, racist era of our history. It’s a myth designed to privilege rich white people and justify state violence against poor people and people of color. Too often, stigma against people who use drugs is just thinly veiled white supremacy. To reduce overdose deaths, we must let go of this dichotomy and other narratives that justify the exclusion of low-income people and people of color from care — medical and otherwise.”

News
Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, said his magazine’s story about Trump calling Americans who died in battle “losers” and “suckers,” was just the tip of the iceberg.
“I would fully expect more reporting to come out about this and more confirmation and new pieces of information in the coming days and weeks,” Goldberg told CNN’s Chief Media Correspondent Brian Stelter on “Reliable Sources” Sunday. “We have a responsibility and we’re going to do it regardless of what he says.”
The magazine received backlash — from Trump and many others — for attributing the information to four anonymous sources. CNN has confirmed several aspects of The Atlantic’s reporting, also with sources who chose to remain anonymous.
But Goldberg said that’s how the media is able to do its job of uncovering stories that take place behind closed doors.
“We all have to use anonymous sources, especially in a climate where the president of the United States tries to actively intimidate,” Goldberg said of his editorial decision to cite nameless people. “These are not people who are anonymous to me.”
We will continue to publish anonymous aspersions in our openly declared campaign to get Joe Biden elected.
How does the Biden campaign account for this in its reports to the Federal Election Commission?
The people backing up the story are off the record (if they really even exist), the people that are saying the story is bullshit are on the record and that includes some hostile to Trump. That’s all I need to know.
Trump is so beloved by the world that who would want to risk going on record against him?
Sure Goldberg, where were you and did you speak up when a president actually was caught using the DOJ/FBI to spy on your profession?!
“Under Mr. Obama, the Justice Department and the F.B.I. have spied on reporters by monitoring their phone records, labeled one journalist an unindicted co-conspirator in a criminal case for simply doing reporting and issued subpoenas to other reporters to try to force them to reveal their sources and testify in criminal cases.” NYT Editoral, 2016
Amazing, I haven’t heard of the current DOJ taking any of you to court to reveal your anonymous sources

Today I binge watched my entire blu-ray collection.
It didn’t take very long.
Title(s)?
Lets see…
Ultramarines.
Aaaand that’s it.
Before this week I didn’t own anything to play bluraus on and I only owned that one because it was part of a bluray/dvd pack. I needed something to test the machine with.
Did you find one not made in China?
I have to triple check but I’m fairly sure it was made in Malaysia.
At the very least they printed the manual there 😛
I’ve got 20 some blu-rays just in my MCU collection.
I didn’t collect any because I couldn’t play any.
I didn’t say I could play them ;p
Being a video guy, I got one as soon as the price dropped below $100 for a unit, just like I did with being the second person in my town to have a DVD player.
I have 5. Now that I own an all-region Blu-Ray player, I look forward to many more some day.
“You just want to be able to play a foreign copy of Song of the South! RAAAAAAAYYYYCIIIIIIIST!”
Damn. Busted.
I wish I had an all regions player. The only copies of FAQ About Time Travel I can find are region 2.
I have been watching season one of Lexx.
If Zev is not the ultimate example of the perfection of the female form, she’s close enough for me.
i remember Lexx
Lexa Doig from Andromeda begs to differ.
I forgot about that show. I remember it was fun.

TW: World Socialist Web Site
On September 3, Michael Forest Reinoehl, 48, was shot and killed by a federal fugitive task force led by the US Marshals Service outside an apartment complex in Lacey, Washington.
Reinoehl’s killing came several hours after he had been charged with the murder of Aaron “Jay” Danielson, a Trump supporter and right-wing vigilante, at a protest in Portland, Oregon, on August 29.
Reinoehl’s death was a state-sanctioned killing, carried out with the support of the Justice Department and the White House. Just minutes before Reinoehl’s death was announced, President Donald Trump tweeted a demand that the police take action to apprehend Danielson’s killer. “Do your job, and do it fast. Everybody knows who this thug is,” Trump declared.
While the precise circumstances leading to Reinoehl’s death remain murky, statements by police investigators, the US Marshals and Attorney General William Barr make clear there was no attempt to arrest him alive. His death was the intended outcome of an operation meant to intimidate others opposed to police violence and set a precedent for violent state attacks on workers coming into struggle against mass unemployment and the ruling class’s homicidal back-to-work and back-to school drives in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic.
The most chilling statement came from Attorney General William Barr, who said in a press release posted on the Justice Department’s website that the killing of an “admitted Antifa member” was “a significant accomplishment in the ongoing effort to restore law and order.”
Trump’s Death Squads finally leap into action. What have they been waiting for?
Putin to give the order?
You’d think the killing fields would be stacked with bodies given the number of stormtroopers Donald has access to.

MSNBC, everyone.
I hate the tactic, but its so effective. Post a terrible tweet, let it start to circulate, delete the original and viola!
What do you bass that on?
If these puns don’t stop, I’m gonna get violint!
Seems to be the new thing. Post an outrageous tweet, let it go viral, then quietly delete it. No one questions you (if you are on the right! side of history) and your message is out in the world and taken as truth.
There was an article not long ago, about a jogger who experienced this and was doxxed but turned out he was not the suspect in some case or another. No repercussions for the initial tweet and retweets.
And no, I missed it…I am going to actually work now…..

All caught up on The Boys (Amazon Prime Originals). Dark and weird. I have thus far not minded the gore, but Hughie calling/texting Annie all the time raised my eyebrows.
Driving through a whale was a bold choice.
Yeah I can hear the cries of PETA on that one. The puppy dog romance thing is odd but I guess okay.
I think the romance is cute, but it’s the “Vought has Annie’s phone bugged; WTF, are you stupid?” angle that has me raising my eyebrows.
