I’m less and less interested in trying to write little intros here since, jesus, the news. I mean, how do you do an opening act for an actual freakshow? I can’t- it’s like following SugarFree.
I can still do Birthdays, though, including one of my favorite character actresses; a leading lady in many of the same films; and yet one more remarkable actress; the Catholic Jeffrey Epstein; an actor who might as well be an actress; breaking the pattern, a superb guitarist and a genuinely nice guy; the Pride of Butte, Montana; a guy who played electric guitar and was afraid of electricity; my favorite Normie; and the best filmmaker, satirist, and animator EVER.

I loved that movie. Watching it when I was a kid, I noted that Jean Arthur gave me a funny feeling in my bathing suit area.
You’ll like this hot for 1943 Jean Arthur scene. And for the ladies, it’s got Joel McCrea.
Hawt indeed.
I too love Spring Byington. She is the guest star of one of (IMO) the better WWII Amos & Andy episodes – Turkey Trouble
“Hate never goes away; it hides,” Biden said. “We need to be clear from the President on down in this country: There is no place for hate in America.”
he claimed, without evidence.
Interesting, hate covers more than just the standard identity groups. Are we to all become New Age hippies, sticking flowers in rifles, just waiting to get massacred by barbarians?
And I’m certain the murder rate will go to zero when racism no longer exists.
He should give a hat-tip to the FBI for helping set up that little whatever-it-was.

Natalie Wood and Tab wouldn’t.
What Wood wont float ?
I heard she bobbed a lot though.
She didn’t shower on the boat because she wanted to wash up on shore.
Booooo…
I didn’t know it still existed.
I did know about Odwalla, though. At least on the west coast. Shame.
Once when I was in college, I guy I knew came into our dorm’s study lounge with a full can of Tab from which to drink and an empty Tab can into which to spit his dip. He sat right across from me. I couldn’t study for staring at the cans, certain he was going to drink from the wrong one. Then I remembered it was Tab, so it wouldn’t make any difference, and I felt much better.
I laughed
?
“I couldn’t study for staring at the cans…”
Been there, sister.
And as someone that dips and generally has 2 beer cans- you lean quickly how to remember which is which.

Biden cited Republicans’ failed efforts to repeal Obamacare and replace it over the last decade. Trump has promised a less expensive alternative to Obamacare that would keep its mandate for coverage of those with pre-existing conditions, but has not offered any details about how he would do so.
One of those things you have to pass, in order to find out what’s in it, I guess.
I know I’m being silly, but I’d like to see the Republicans come up with something resembling an articulable plan for health insurance. They could start by telling us how they’ll break the link between employment and insurance.
Rand has some ideas.
*crickets*
The Republicans should have used Obama’s “If you like your doctor you can keep your doctor” line to show that Obamacare was taking healthcare away from people.
I like to see an acknowledgement that the federal government has no authority to be providing health care or health insurance.
Bingo. The best way to fix the healthcare system is to get government out of it.
Fun fact- ex Mrs Tres Cool was awarded the Irene Ryan award for acting after a couple of performances in college. We always referred to it as the ‘Granny Clampett Oscar’.

the ‘Granny Clampett Oscar’
Most excellent.
I remember listening to a friend’s wife bitching about how much she hated her job, but she couldn’t quit because she’d lose the insurance which came with it. That was more than thirty years ago.
Health insurance tied to your employment is just an idiotic arrangement. Of course, we can thank the Feds for that.
Yep. Just another rope in the ridiculously tight not of bullshit that is our current medical system. The regulations, insurance, university/professional associations/unions regulatory capture, government graft and human fear all wrapped up in a giant impenetrable knot that could be easily fixed if you just cut it out and threw it away.

Hate. Hate. Hate. Hate !
It’s a valuable emotion.
Hating something – and learning to avoid it – has to teach us some skills. For example, I was weird – and as a result – was also bullied as a kid. But this forced me to be creative. I had to figure out how to avoid bullies, or end up picking on them in a way that wouldn’t get me in trouble. Sometimes I would enlist the other friends (because we all hated the bullies) I did have to form up against the bullies.
It also made me empathetic. I felt for the other kids who were bullied (or at least, not popular). These were valuable skills to learn !
Why should hate be discounted right now? I am confused.
The Culinary Workers Union Local 226, which represents some Station Casinos employees, says that 58% of Station Casinos workers in its bargaining unit have lost their jobs and that those who want to return to work are being asked to reapply as new employees and are receiving $3-$4 less per hour than they did previously. It showed TIME a worker’s earnings statement that included a line in all caps saying: “Your hourly rate has been changed from 16.3000 to 13.1000,” indicating a pay cut.
Not shown: corporate revenue cut due to plague-related operating restrictions.

I’ve seen some of that. Got jerked around by HR. Looks like I’m going back as a contractor. That’s fine, I’ll at least have the income for a while and hopefully things are better in six months where they pay up or I go elsewhere.
“Their own jobs”
They own those jobs. This isn’t about mutual agreement to contracts. They are entitled to a paycheck.
Business exists for the purposes of employing people (actual Obumbles statement so presumably the progressive view on economics).
I know.
But several times recently I’ve had interviews at a former employer where I know far more about the job than the hiring manager. I have to explain to him the history, politics, and trade offs that got him there. It’s weird.

Jacinda Ardern has won a second term as New Zealand’s Prime Minister after her success at handling the country’s coronavirus outbreak helped secure a landslide victory
——-
Ardern’s likely reelection was buoyed by her “go hard and go early” approach to handling the coronavirus which has helped New Zealand avoid the kind of devastating outbreaks seen elsewhere. The country was one of the first to close its borders, and Ardern announced a nationwide lockdown in March when it only had 102 cases.
New Zealand has reported less than 2,000 total cases and 25 deaths since the pandemic began.
How long can you keep the borders sealed, and your people locked down?
What happens when the plebs get antsy? Good thing you took their guns away (some of them, anyway).
How can an entire country not see that? You think you can keep your borders closed in perpetual lockdown for years? I mean, being stuck at home in New Zealand probably isn’t a terrible fate. But those poor sheep!
When economic calamity comes, they’ll see it. But it will be too late.
We were assured that the cooties are so contagious that eventually we will all get them. The lockdowns were supposed to be to prevent too many people from catching them at a given time.
So…..wont they just start spreading again when the lockdowns end?
Only solution – lockdowns forever.
Where is my goddamned pitchfork?

Obligatory.
Otoplasty can be performed on adults too.
She actually increased her majority and can govern without her coalition partners if she wants. She might keep the Greens because there’s not much disagreement there.
But she could kick NZ First to the curb. And they were restraining some of her more leftist policies, especially on economics.
People actually voted for her?

No place for hate
Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), the ranking Democratic member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, is facing calls to be replaced on the committee or retire after speaking positively about this week’s confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee Judge Amy Coney Barrett.
Feinstein has faced heavy criticism, with some calling for her to retire in recent days. Ilyse Hogue, president of abortion rights group NARAL Pro-Choice America, was the latest to slam the senator. On Friday, she called for Feinstein be replaced on the committee.
“This nomination is illegitimate and this process is a sham,” Hogue said in a statement. “Tens of millions of Americans have already voted and majorities have said unequivocally that they want to choose the next President who should fill this seat. Amy Barrett and this power grab pose a grave threat to every freedom and right we hold dear and tears the very fabric of our democracy.”
“Americans—whose lives hang in the balance—deserve leadership that underscores how unprecedented, shameful and wrong this process is,” Hogue added. “The Ranking Member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Senator Dianne Feinstein, failed to make this clear and in fact offered an appearance of credibility to the proceedings that is wildly out of step with the American people. As such, we believe the committee needs new leadership.”
It all depends on who is hating whom, I guess.

Yep. Highly motivated, narcissistic, little totalitarians that are in training as “activists” instead of getting an actual education in something productive.
I pray that these people are still a minority, but I know they and their kinfellows have the power. There will never be a day of peace while they still hold any semblance of power.
In regards to the Hunter Biden email/laptop thing, I get that Joe Biden is running for President and that is probably the bigger part of the story with corruption.
But, why is no one discussing that the FBI took the evidence and suppressed it again? Aren’t they like 0/10 recently for upholding their reputation? It starting to become glaringly obvious they’re just a wing of the DNC.
It is. But you got little like Bar protecting it.
I’ve begun to think that the Export-Import Bank, tarrifs and labor unions are not our biggest problems.
Spelling is my biggest problem
If I had the Wand of Fnargle, I would start eliminating FedGov agencies – FBI, CIA, Army, DEA would, I think, be the first to go.
It’s been noticed but attacking the FBI still isn’t a political winner and it won’t happen this close to an election. If Trump wins I suspect there’ll be a reckoning, if not nothing will change, they’ll become even more politicized in fact. As for why the media isn’t bringing this up, well they’ve become bootlickers, it’s just that simple.
They’re a wing of the Permanent State.
As are almost the entirety of the DNC and GOP leadership along with the State Department, the CIA, and the upper echelons of the Pentagon.
We’re the wealthiest, most powerful country in the world and everybody in DC is getting their beak wetted. That’s why they hate Trump. He wasn’t on the take.
It’s also why they despise Tulsi Gabbard, because she appears to see it for what it is.
Robert Barnes (on the Viva Frei videos) has spoken several times of Senator McConnell’s complicity in all of this. Apparently, he has been behind many of Trump’s bad hires and his lackeys back in KY are knee deep in the Breonna Taylor mess.
McConnell’s a snake in the grass no doubt.
All coiled up and hissing?
This is an REO Speedwagon free zone.
Temptress Tulsi for SecDef.
Whut? I thought they were 10/10 in upholding their reputation.
But, why is no one discussing that the FBI took the evidence and suppressed it again? Aren’t they like 0/10 recently for upholding their reputation? It starting to become glaringly obvious they’re just a wing of the DNC.
They’d do the same thing for the right kind of Republicans. Establishmentarians gotta stick together, and defend the mandarinate from the unwashed infidels.
I disagree. They intentionally planned and set up a lying trap on Flynn. They ‘investigated’ Clinton, openly admitted finding wrong doing and passed out immunity to pretty much everyone involved. You also have to understand, that all happened just after they’d been briefed that Clinton was setting up a fake smear of Trump’s ties to Russia. THEN they went after Trump with the whole faked info/Fisa warrants. ‘got Flynn.’ Then, whene veryone started asking questioning the investigators, DELETED a shit ton of evidence, see the 30+ wiped cellphones.
I’m not seeing any Republican coverage here… it’s looking pretty one sided.
DC is at least 90% Democrats, the MD/VA fedgov suburbs are at least 70% Democrats, and the civil service directly reflects this overwhelming Democratic dominance of government employees and courtiers. The Republicans that play ball and act like the minority party they’re supposed to be get left alone. The ones who stick out too much get taken down. Democrats get an institutional bias, of course, but there’s also the fact that the Democrats who show up to the capital from the provinces are almost always willing to play ball from day one. That party is so lockstep on certain matters nowadays that the number of dissenters who make it high enough up the food chain to matter is practically nil. Put another way, a true leftist reformer would get sabotaged just as much as a rightist reformer, but the former will be kept away by the voters and the party apparatus so no further gatekeepers are really needed.
Remember back when they used to set up and bust corrupt politicians like McCain?

So, I’m going to be forward and offer you my mom’s (now my) recipe for the best corned beef I’ve ever tasted. This was an occasional treat when I was young but I’ve found up here (where we have the highest percentage of Irish-Americans in the USA) corned beef drops to $0.75 per pound for St. Patrick’s Day, so we fill the chest freezer with them. You will, I assume, want to substitute something for the rum. Does the alcohol proscription extend to extracts?
That sounds delicious, thanks!
You are most welcome. I’ve been using the sous vide for the meat cooking part; throw everything into a vacuum bag and cook at 165° for 13 hours.
Extracts are okay, I guess … ?
I can taste alcohol in dishes and I don’t like alcohol, so … I made whiskey-bacon brownies for Mr. Mojeaux for Father’s Day. He was the only one who liked it, but he was a drinker in his former life.
I would just leave it out.
I love whiskey, bacon, and brownies, but I don’t think I would like them all together. I’m glad your hubby enjoyed them though; home cooked kitchen gifts hold a special place in my heart.
I always make something special for him for Father’s Day.
Well looks like I need to corn another brisket
That’s a smidge higher than what I’d expect.
it is rather pricey I would say
That’s legit. ? ??
That looks good enough to eat.
All models, all the time
Hospitalizations are climbing nationwide. And they’ll likely be followed by a rise in daily Covid-19 deaths, says Dr. Francis Collins, director of the National Institutes of Health.
“This is a good moment for people to stop and ask themselves, ‘What can I do to try to be sure that we limit the further infections that otherwise seem to be looming in front of us as cold weather is kicking in and people are indoors, and those curves are going upward, in the wrong direction?’ ” Collins said Friday.
Researchers from the University of Washington’s Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation project more than 2,300 Americans could be dying daily by mid-January and a total of more than 389,000 people could die from the virus in the US by February 1.
The plural of “model” is “propaganda”.

Letters to the Local Rag: Back That Thing Up
Gilmore’d
What is the new trend of people backing into parking spaces instead of pulling straight in?
New trend? I remember marveling at people doing that when I was 4.
Ill give you a hint, old codger… It’s easier to be aware of your surroundings when you’re parking than when you’re leaving.
Not that I back into spaces very often, but the risk is 6 in one, half dozen in the other.
I find the opposite, that It’s easier to pay attention when backing out than when backing in.
I always feel like cars sneak up on me when I’m backing out. Usually they’re the jackasses doing 25 down the aisle.
Yeah, it’s easier to stop traffic in the lane to back in to the spot than to worry about traffic that’s coming when you’re backing out.
Fortunately, I’m usually able to get a pull-through spot.
And people, some of whom don’t watch where they’re going.
Or what Cy said below, but I didn’t see because Brooks fucked up the threading.
I think he’s marveling at it because as an old codger he can’t swivel his neck around to look behind him anymore.
Or just someone who is incapable of maneuvering a car. I can’t count the amount of times I have seen someone struggle to handle something like a Toyota Corolla in a parking lot.
Or he’s too poor to afford a backup camera package for his car. Or too clumsy to use one.
I always back in to parking spaces.
You were backing in to parking spaces when you were four? No wonder people were marveling at it.
He’s the real reason the Dukes of Hazard got canceled!
I always back in to spaces as well as my driveway. Might need to make a quick escape.
In these uncertain times, mentally preparing yourself for the circumstance you need to GTFO of the parking lot is becoming more common.
Its quicker and to egress the parking space if you are going forward rather than backwards.
This.
More Wand of Fnargle musing… I would consolidate all FedGov medical activity (outside of DoD) into the USPHS and send them all out to work at free clinics for merchant sailors, lighthouse keepers, USCG, and perhaps NPS employees.

What is the new trend of people backing into parking spaces instead of pulling straight in?
I think the idiots in giant pickup trucks do it because they turn a little tighter going backwards (like a rear steer forklift). That’s my theory. Disprove it as you will.
Some job sites mandate it for safety.
This is a thing taught to me as safety habit. You back into a controlled space. It allows you to have a better field of vision when re-entering traffic.
I think so too. I’ve noticed it’s mainly trucks.
The back up cameras make that much more feasible than it used to be. Sooner or later you’re going to have to back up no matter what you do.
Round these parts backing in was always considered the proper way to park
It’s the cameras and digital dashboards, makes it super easy with lines showing where to go and everything.
This. In a big vehicle it’s now easier to park that way. I rented a big SUV to take my son to school and found myself parking that way.
I think a lot of it is ex-military trained to always be ready to exit at top speed, carrying it over into civilian life.
he can’t swivel his neck around to look behind him anymore.

These Democrats may not go vote for Biden and the radical left because they’re afraid of Kamala Harris. People are starting to see through. Joe [Biden] is not in great health, Joe — mental or physical, and so look to who is going to replace Joe: Kamala Harris, a thousand times worse than Obama could have ever been.

“Either they’re not going to vote for the Biden-Harris ticket,” Palazzo continued. “They might not vote for Trump, but at least they’re not going to vote for Biden-Harris. The better Trump does, the better we’re all going to do — especially in these districts where Democrats that won congressional seats, Trump won the congressional district. A lot of people are going to be reevaluating how they cast their vote. I think the Republicans are going to do well, especially in the House. The polls might not be showing it, but the polls are showing the President winning either. People are keeping it close to the vest. Don’t let the signs fool you. People might not put up a Trump sign in their front yard because they don’t want their home vandalized. It just depends on the state, the neighborhood they live in.

Maher said, “Democrats have to stop talking about packing the Supreme Court. Because it’s already packed, with Catholics…and once Mitch McConnell and company are done Fed-Exing Amy Coney Barrett to the bench, seven of the nine justices will be Catholic. And look, I have nothing against Catholics, except my entire upbringing. But they are only 20% of the population. If seven out of nine justices were Jews or Muslims or Buddhists would that be okay? And if faith is this super important element of life, as Barrett and her Republican supporters say it is, shouldn’t we have a healthier balance on our highest court?”
After stating people who don’t practice any religion should have representation on the Supreme Court, Maher stated, “And atheists actually make better judges. Because we don’t have to work to separate church and state. We’re not torn between rational decision-making and what it says in the old book of Jewish fairy tales.”
It’s like 1960 again.

Complete with sweet five speed manuals and high output engines that make almost 200 horsepower. Even with the stupid environmental and safety regs we’ve come a hell of a long way.
Jeez, I screwed that up: 1985 Mustang vs Camaro vs Trans Am…
very few HP for all that cylinder volume
also them be some ugly cars. I blame the 80s
A friend of mine had a Mustang just like that but a different color. I remember it being scary fast but my four cylinder Mazda I have now would at least keep up with it or maybe even outrun it. I’d still like to have one though if only for sentimental reasons.
HP and torque are two different things.
high output engines that make almost 200 horsepower
What’s sad is that my 2015 Civic makes more than that and it is no longer considered much and hasn’t been for awhile.
So my 6-spd manual, fwd sedan says “hi”.
I had a 5 speed Camaro Z28. Red and gold with the 305 engine. I forget if it was an 85 or 86.

Looked like this.
Definitely the best looking of the three.
Serious question: are the rising rates of hospitalization being cited all Covid? Or is some of this catch up in elective surgeries?
I think they are referring specifically to plague cases, but an article in the paper the other day quoted a doctor saying more people, with milder symptoms, are being hospitalized lately. Whether or not that is because of what has been learned about treating it was not specified.
very few HP for all that cylinder volume
8:1 compression ratio will do that.

Neat, a reclaimed shipping container hotel in Texas:

They sell them too.
Whoops:

If normalcy or some factor of it is still with us in a few years it is something I was considering.
I’ve always fancied getting three or four and putting them around a central deck with each one being a separate room (ie ones a kitchen, ones a living room, etc).
Wrong link.
My brother stayed in a half shipping container AirBnB and it was adorable. I’d love that thing for a separate office space.
The whoops is the correct one. You’re right, that’d be great for a detached office.
Yeah, those are fantastic, but a little small for my taste. I would like a stacked double wide, or maybe 3 so as to have an upstairs bedroom and deck. I’ve been dreaming of a shipping container based compound for years, some buried, some stacked.
Exactly. My dream is two buried, on ground and one 2nd story. Out in the high desert somewhere. A man can dream.
Great minds, sir, great minds. My dream spot was in CO, out by the 11 Mile Reservoir (near South Park). My uncle has some property out there and you can climb a small mountain, turn around 360° and not see a single piece of evidence for the existence of mankind; no power lines or roads in sight. Pure perfection.

Explained: The UK government’s ‘sex ban’ to limit the spread of Covid-19
According to the new rules, the only way people can meet during the lockdown is if they reside together already or are part of the same ‘support bubble’.

Fuck that shit, the Brits need to break out the pitchforks and torches.
“support bubble”
OFFS.
Good morning, Old Man!
And a good morning to all of you crazy bastards!
I am writing from an undisclosed location, in sight of beautiful mountains, where my wife and I have spent a few lovely days with our best friends. Unfortunately, it’s back to reality in a few hours.
I’m not surprised the news continues to be an absolute shit-show. Love to see the RNC going after Twitter, though.
Speaking of shit-shows, here’s a good post from the Healthy Skeptic:
An Interim Big Picture Update
Fun Old Guy music today. A great theme song, too.
I hope you all have a fantastic day!
Well that’s just crazy-talk.
Huh, so that’s who was marking all the noise.
I mean, how do you do an opening act for an actual freakshow? I can’t- it’s like following SugarFree.
Write something normal. It would be jarring and we’d be wondering what is going on.
Describing the alleged plot, Biden said, “It’s the sort of behavior you might expect from ISIS and it should shock the conscience of every American. Every American.”
ISIS? WTF? They were going to kidnap her not cut her head off or drown her in a cage or burn her alive or all the other things ISIS did to execute people.
“This podcast is where we can get dirty. It’s where we can expose the naked truth behind what goes on. The backroom deals, the monied interests, the inability to break from the party,” Hill said. “This podcast is here to expose what’s wrong in politics today, undressing the issues, and how we can fix them.”
Unless Katie Hill is naked, I have no interest.
The RNC complained to the Federal Election Commission that Twitter’s blocking of The New York Post articles amounts to an “illegal corporate in-kind political contribution” to former Vice President Biden’s campaign, which is seeking to unseat President Donald Trump, the Republican incumbent.
A part of me says, “Good, they’re learning to fight back.” The other part of me wishes fondly for Libertopia.
Her evasions and knowledge gaps might help her through a Senate confirmation but should terrify if she’s on the Supreme Court.
I tapped out here.
Without legal guarantees, though, older workers like Padilla say they’ll struggle to find jobs in a crowded labor market. “They’re looking for young people, they never think, ‘this old man, he dedicated his life to this company,’” he says. “But I’m ready to go back to work.”
I wonder: did you hang out on unemployment instead of going back to work? I know of a few business owners in NH that won’t bring back some former employees because the employees wanted to milk unemployment as long as they could.
A trooper with the Arizona Department of Public Safety found more than $2.5 million in drugs during a traffic stop Thursday evening in Phoenix, DPS said.
The War on Drugs will be won any day now.
I think I wasn’t muted before I said good night on the Zoom last night. I was cursing work. A test had failed and I was cursing that. Sorry in case anyone heard that and didn’t know what I was cursing at.
I just rolled out of bed. Time to make breakfast.

No drinking, no fucking, no fraternizing, it’s a puritan’s wet dream. They have been wishing for this for centuries.
I though all the ;puritans moved to America.
Missed my train but caught the bus.

Looks like he doesn’t like a dirty rat. That wouldn’t have been my solution but people gotta figure out how to solve their own problems.
I’m about to try my hand at making sesame encrusted tuna steaks. I’ve been on such a tuna binge lately and ordering sushi gets expensive.
Sesame?
yes, sesame
I don’t know what encrusted with sesame means. I slice it off the block and go with soy sauce and wasabi.
well imagine breading something to fry, just with sesame. The crust is the exterior part that gets cooked. Ya know maillard reaction and all that
That’s not sushi, though.
Not sushi at all, but delicious just the same (I’ve been eating a lot of sushi lately though). Press the steaks into sesame seeds and sear for about 45 seconds on each side. Slice, dip in a little wasabi mayo and enjoy. I don’t really care for the whole spice the fish before cooking as I like to taste the tuna.
mind the mercury
You trying Gordon Ramsey recipe? Its good if you are.

That looks good.
Very similar, but no egg wash and a dry skillet.
#CharlieHebdo must be shut down immediately by French authorities. This racist, Islamophobic rag is causing community relations to completely break down with its repeated provocations. They are literally crying fire in a crowded theatre. Freedom of speech isn’t worth civil war.

Wow, that is completely pathetic.
Freedom of speech isn’t worth civil war.
Yes it is.
Try taking it away. You’ll get your war.
Let’s not forget, the fire in theater was shitbird OWH’s justification for jailing people advocating against forced enslavement.
You shouldn’t be criticizing the Religion of Peace. And if you do there may be a beheading in your near future.
The progressives will be along shortly to execute you for your violent speech. May your hate filled soul be cleansed by gaia.
He’s not entirely wrong. Who was here that said leftists were good at identifying problems, but their solutions sucked?
The Franks used to know how to deal with the problem.
Also, literally worse than Hitler.
I see the Twitter has murdered iowahawkblog/David Burge. Motherfuckers.
I hope he shows up on Gab.

“You can’t fight Shitty Hall.”
And twitter wins.
Do they? Chasing out people like him are going to rapidly make them into an irrelevant leftist echo chamber. Gab had their biggest week of new accounts ever last week.
Creating a ghetto seems like a good idea at first.
There is always more incompetence in the world than outright malice, though there’s plenty of both to go around.
One of the few twitter accounts that was consistently funny and good. Man, do I ever want to see that company fail.

“Within the past 48 hours alone we added 100,000 new daily active community members. Many folks who had existing accounts came back and many new people joined our community as well. We will also be launching GabTV (our YouTube alternative) in the coming days, and expect our growth to continue skyrocketing when this happens.”
They are literally crying fire in a crowded theatre.
Is the theater on fire? Context matters.
Well, they were crying “fire” in the Bataclan.
Brew day!
I’ll be back.
I see Google is carrying their water today:

Nothing about the Biden’s scandal.
I would listen to Katie Hill’s podcast if she sat naked behind me and brushed my hair. On second thought, no I wouldn’t. I was just making a joke.
