I tripped over big dog Monday night. Fortunately, the hardwood floor broke my fall. I didn’t go to the doctor, but I can pretty much guarantee that I have rib and muscle injuries. I’ve been eating Tramadol and letting out a Homer Simpson, “D’Oh!”, every time I move wrong. Oh, and gawd bless Dulcolax.
Anyways, Thanksgiving was nice and quiet. I hope all our Glibs had a marvelous holiday.
Here’s a shocking development.
When the French start to complain about this…
The soup can is about to give it another try.
A little Elvis Costello tonight.
Elon Rules! well he will soon…..
Hey Yusef. The company I work for has sold equipment to SpaceX. They seem to want to test their equipment at -125°C for some reason.
My company’s satellites have hitched a ride on the SpaceX Falcon Heavy launches, but not on the Dragon of course.
SpaceX victories goose up the TSLA stock price a bit too, which doesn’t hurt a bit.
I’m predicting Elon will be the first trillionaire by first killing the cable companies with Starlink and then mining asteroids.
This guy needs red-pilled.
Oh wait, we once had a guy who could have done that, but instead he made Jeff the fucking garden gnome Sessions our AG.
Only libertarians can fix this shit, and we have by design, no political power.
Oh well, it was a nice run. Au revoir mon amour Etats-Unis.
I’m OK with this.
I’m more than OK with this.
Starlink and other satellites like it will ground based optical astronomy and clutter up the night sky. Elon and his group of brains didn’t even think about that. Not only professional astronomers but amateur astronomers will be affected. Ground based telescopes still make discoveries and there aren’t enough space telescopes to go around — there aren’t enough ground based telescopes either.
Oh, I get it. Tractors will kill our mule based plows. Or, IOW, fuck professional astronomers, the rest of us don’t give a fucking rat’s ass.
Speak for yourself. You Musk fanbois excuse him any rent seeking, charlatanry, and confidence game that you would pillory another person for. He has no claim of ownership on those orbit so what makes his use of them superior to the astronomers you disregard?
Don’t hate the player, hate the game?
He plays it masterfully.
So far, I haven’t heard much from the amateur astronomy community about starlink. Mostly just pics of people catching a starlink train coming through.
Even astrophotography isn’t impacted. You may lose a few more frames out of the thousands that you shoot to make a single composite photo, but that’s nothing.
Starlink will have at least 12,000+ satellites. And there is at least one other company that wants to do something similar. The sky now is not so bad. Give it a year or two and you won’t be able to look up at a clear sky without seeing a satellite every few minutes.
“Oh wait, we once had a guy who could have done that, but instead he made Jeff the fucking garden gnome Sessions our AG.”
I’m all for Starlink, but no idea how Trump could have red-pilled Musk, or what Sessions had to do with it.
Costello ruined Diana Krall. My mind will not be changed.
I can’t argue that.
Well just because she went off the market. I saw her in a small club in Ann Arbor 25 years ago and fell in love. That jerk stole my woman.
I got dragged to see the Police with Elvis Costello at the Hollywood Bowl. The Police sucked so bad, I can’t even describe it with mere words. Costello brought the house down. I’m a fan ever since.
Krall aside, Costello’s voice is just one voice of many that I can’t stand.

Nick Lowe wrote Peace Love, but y’all knew that.
To quote Square Pegs as best as I can remember:

Patty [SJP]: Ugh, do I have to?
[Squeals with delight!] Thank you for remembering that show.

Deadicated is a bloody fantastic album though. Los Lobos’ Bertha, Dwight Yoakam’s Truckin’, Suzanne Vega’s Cassidy, and Jane’s Addiction covering Ripple are (IMO) far better than the originals.
Perhaps better than the Dead studio release version of each of those songs, but there’s also hundreds of live versions, in many different tempos and variations, no two quite the same. I’ll bet you could find live show versions of the Dead playing those you’d like even better. Especially Cassidy, which often was a blazing showstopper live.
Agreed. To both.
I hope you heal up quickly.
Traffic at stores on Black Friday fell by 52.1% compared with last year, as Americans by and large eschewed heading to malls and queuing up in lines for shopping online, according to preliminary data from Sensormatic Solutions.
Drum up fear and this is what you get.
One of the crucial disputed parts of the invoice is a provision that may criminalize the broadcasting of “the face or some other figuring out component” of on-duty law enforcement officials if the purpose is to “bodily or mentally hurt” them.
Go fuck yourselves. Film the cops.
Next week, Elon Musk says his SpaceX company will attempt to fly its prototype Starship rocket – designed to one day take people to Mars – to its highest altitude yet.
Musk is a grifter, but I like a lot of what comes out of Space X.
The National Police Agency said suicides surged to 2,153 in October alone, with more than 17,000 people taking their own lives this year to date, CBS reported.
17,000 extra Lil Rona deaths this year?
Six people have been jailed in China after tracking down the families of accident victims and tricking them into donating their loved ones’ organs — so they could make big bucks on the black market, according to reports.
If he worked for the government, it would be A-OK.
Musk is a grifter
Don’t hate the playa, hate the game. He knows how to play the system, and benefits from that. I get the sense he’s not all on board with the way the system is. Not justifying, though.
Musk has a healthy skepticism toward socialism (having grown up in South Africa where Apartheid was followed by ANC). He absolutely condemns the government shutdowns for COVID and he really doesn’t care what others think.
I think he’d be impossible to live with, but he certainly has a knack for inspiring good engineers to produce amazing outcomes.
DEG, I saw your reply from last night re Lee Speeds. I have a No. 1 pattern sporting rifle as seen on pages 12-13 of that catalog. Here is a nice write up of the same model, albeit not mine.
http://www.rathcoombe.net/sci-tech/classics/lee-speed/lee-speed.html
On the other hand, the L42 has recorded a couple of one-mile kill shots, per the SAS. So, no joke there.
Nice!
I’ve bid on several Lee-Speeds, but lost every one except the Territorial Pattern I have.
Some of those rifles have amazing engraving.
I have a L39A1. I haven’t shot it. I need to clean a little rust off of some parts of the rear sight.
L39a1 is the iron-sighted model, right? I know there are a few different versions of the 7.62 Enfields; L39, L42 (scoped), Envoy, and Enforcer. All of them are cool. I bought an Ishapore because I wanted one so bad, and while it was decent, it wasn’t the same thing.
L39A1 is the target version which usually has iron sights. When converted, it had no sights. Unit armorers would put on a sight once the rifle went to a unit. Mine has a Parker-Hale 5C (I think). I’ve seen some pictures of rifles surplused with no sights on them, as that is how they went into the depot.
Envoy and Enforcer were civilian versions of the L39A1 and L42A1.
Wiki.
I have an Ishapore 2A1. It’s collected dust. I need to shoot it.
Actually, I need to shoot a lot of things.
My other winnings in the auction were a SMLE Mk V, a SMLE Mk III* from the last year of production at Lithgow, and some 5.7 ammunition.
Tall Cans!!
“I’ve been eating Tramadol”
Be careful with that stuff, it can have side-effects and withdrawals similar to SSRI’s.
Hope you are feeling better soon, and the dog is OK.
The dog is fine. I missed him. I’m hoping to be done with the painkillers by Monday.
That’s good news. Glad you’re both okay so you can get back to drinking.
My new fetish.
I watched the whole thing.
I’m not sure what to make of it.
Listen, if the thought of a matronly, middle-aged Japanese woman shoving her fingers up into your prostate doesn’t make your pee-pee hard, you’re probably gay.
The polarity on your pervometer is reversed.
Is it?
Pretty sure Mommy Domme pegging is gay.
Or at least gayjacent.
My next explainer will show why that is wrong.
I think HM transcends pervometers.
You’re trying to measure HM‘s perversity on a linear scale?
Do you need a mathematician to count your number of fetishes?
It’s somewhere in a set with cardinality beth two, and that’s good enough for me.
Kanchoooooooo!
The French are also protesting against lockdowns.
And then you have Americans like some of the folks on this thread. Trigger warning: a non-porn Reddit link.
Maybe not porn, but certainly sickening.
Jeepers! That FrancisFApocalypse fellow needs to be beaten soundly about the head, neck, and shoulders.
The time for beatings has passed. I advocate a revival of crucifixion, or the wire jacket.
Seen on my FB feed by a retired person:
Funny that people whose income isn’t COVID-impacted have such opinions.
This person never worked for a living?
She did, as a librarian, but she’s retired. She has a nice pension and Social Security.
“I don’t want to hear that it’s more important for people to get together and drink, or go out and spend money”
Strangely, that’s what I do want to hear. I want to hear young people (all people really) laugh, dance and play the fool. because it is more important.
Make your own rules but don’t make mine. No one on their death bed ever said they wished they hadn’t fished so much. I never had a drink I didn’t want or a cigarette I didn’t want .
Talk about declining cultures. That person’s attitude is all too common and a big sign that ours is.
There’s more to life than just being alive.
*anger rising*
At least s/he didn’t pretend it’s “the law”.
Yep.
Occasionally folks push back on him.
He’s not the only piece of work hanging out on that subreddit.
I should stick to porn subreddits.
Aren’t these the same assholes that insist capitalism kills people through economic inequality? What do they think is going to happen?
What do they think
Whoa!
“They think” assumes facts not in evidence.
From the French protest article in the links:
“Moderately than attempting to unravel issues, this legislation seeks to cowl up blunders,” stated Nicolas Gonnot, a 50-year-old laptop engineer who demonstrated in Paris.
If you can figure out what the hell he said, you’re a better person than I. Maybe you have to be a “laptop engineer”, which i guess is someone who designs the best way to sit on Santa’s lap.
I figured a “laptop engineer” was an exotic dancer.
I was assuming that article was run back and forth through Google Translate a few times.
Why does Japan and South Korea have such high suicide rates?
Merely because of a different way of reporting the statistic. If it appears to be not natural causes but no killer is identified or suspected, it just goes down as a suicide. This is not done in the western world.
Hungary is another country with a high suicide rate. The Hungarians I talked to about it believed that suicide was less covered up there by doctors/authorities/society than in other countries.
So what is it they know about the Clinton’s?
I hadn’t heard that before.
I suppose I had always made the assumption that there was more suicide, but it was more cultural, as perhaps getting help or communicating about what’s driving one down that path just isn’t done to the same degree.
If correct (not doubting ya), it seems like it’s a similar phenomenon to the way that infant mortality is recorded in the USA vs much of Europe, leading to erroneous conclusions.
Yes. Where I learned this was actually about 6 years ago in articles talking about the way different things were measured in various countries.
Infant mortality is high in the us almost entirely because of its pro-life culture. It comes down to a different metric.
‘Violent” crime is high in the uk compared to the us because they are much looser in what they call a violent crime.
On the other hand, in the us a “murder” is determined by a coroner. In Western Europe, a murder requires a murderer.
Bottom line: it’s dammed hard to compare stats between countries. Everyone measure things differently. Take Germany’s very strict COVID death standards for instance. It can lead to wrong conclusions.
In *an article
There’s not a stigma to suicide in Japan like there is/was for centuries in Europe.
There’s a good point made in the comments:
Well, I can’t say I entirely understand that, but it is obviously a very different culture.
Watch HM’s new fetish. That is why.
It is Saturday, to keep up the new not-normal, here’s the link for the Zoom/Happy Hour/gabfest. I’ll kick it off at 20:00 Eastern.
Can I bring my fan?
God I hope so.
Thanks, Neph! We’ll probably pop in before we commence Pizza Night.
Thank you!
I want to get a little reading in before I go to sleep tonight. I’ll drop in for a little bit once I get done a few more episodes on “The Great War” channel.
Still trying to ID the blonde in red
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/En1Jp0QVgAApunO.jpg
I know the limey says I’m wrong but I still say it’s Kat Trimphf or whatever, I can’t find the exact photo match but same frames/glasses same eyebrows, she has a tendency to wear red…its Kat Trimpfh.
It doesn’t look like her though. Similar glasses, but different eyebrows, nose, etc.
It’s a blurry pixelated photo, It’s Kat Trimpfh or I’ll
eat my hatdrink an IPA.I looked at some pictures of Kat Timpf. It’s possible. The jaw doesn’t look right, but it could be her.
It’s Kat Timpf. You do realize there’s no mechanism to actually buy time with these girls, right?
My question is, how did that big lady with the pink dress get into the 300.00 range?
Green House of Commons upholstery? Priti Patel?
Yes. She’s top shelf in this crowd? No.
Politicians? Thed only thing wrong in that graphic is that the prices are missing several zeroes.
Sure there is, If your rich and famous they let you do it.
I’d gladly pay much more for a romp in the sack with Kat Timpf. But I don’t think that’s her in the photo. Besides, she’s not a politician, aren’t all the other identifiable ones?
Blair White, sh0eonhead, and Abby Shapiro aren’t politicians and are there.
ACB is there too, but all Supreme Court Justices are politicians despite their denials.
Most of them aren’t politicians.
I don’t know who 3/4 of them are.
I took her picture and ran it through Google Image Search. Nope.
I spent a bit of time digging through r/politically_nsfw. Nope.
It’s not Kat Timpf, I assure youse.
I was wrong! Dead wrong. It’s Camryn Baylee Kinsey. Only found because you mentioned that site.
Fuck, I don’t want to drink an IPA!
zoinks!
BTW, that site is rife with brain dead cucks. I’ll not be going back.
It looks like you are right.
I’m right that I was wrong?
Damn, I can’t even do wrong right!
Shit. I should have kept searching.
To insinuate Japan is a “dying culture” when fucking Kikkoman is a conglomerate of 8 soy sauce manufacturers who founded their businesses 2 centuries before the Declaration of Independence was written is, well, very Glibertarian.
Shut up Nippontard.
Dying culture.
How much cocaine did you snort while that was playing?
I was a big fan of them well before my coke bender phase.

Why is no one talking about the fact that they are making another Boss Baby movie?
Thank you, THANK you!
I’ve been waiting for THREE years for the next AMAZING Boss Baby, and now it’s COMING!
I was AFRAID that because of the PLANDEMIC and COVITARDS that we would NEVER see another BOSS baby, but we are! HUZZAH!
There’s a girl bossy baby now.
Cancel Boss Baby! Alec Baldwin plays Trump, therefore Boss Baby is Trumpist.
My 6 year old LOVES that franchise for some unfathomable reason. I’ve caught it by osmosis so very many times.
Good evening, Spud
Sorry to hear about your fall. If on the off chance I can help with something, let me know. SP has my E-mail. I’ll introduce you to my white trash cocktails.
Hopefully the dog didn’t need to see a vet. You shouldn’t be driving when you’re all banged up like that.
Hope you and your friend are on the mend. I have a fear of falling, now my yard is ice and I have to walk slowly and squat down so if I slip it’s not far down and I’ll land on my butt..
You’ll be stiff (from the fall) in the morning, not sure what the Ducolax has to do with that but whatever it takes, I guess.
You’re the first person to notice that. Ever tried and poop with injured ribs?
After I had the tumor removed from inside my skull one of the things they told me was not to strain on the toilet for the first few months. Too much risk of a CSF leak.
Yikes. That is scary enough to inspire compliance.
Had a spinal tap once and you’re supposed to lie flat on your back for several hours.
No. I had to pee, and dammit, I was going to pee like a normal human being. I had to beat back the nurse trying to help me.
No. I had to pee, and dammit, I was going to pee like a normal human being.
Standing up, of course.
I identify as female, so I’mma sit, thanks.
Understand the urge, but when my son had one of his (many) spinal taps and decided to forgo the advice, he had a spinal headache for 9 days. A spinal headache is where when you stand up and the pressure drops in your spinal column but there’s not enough volume of fluid because of the leak you caused by not resting, then you get an immediate, debilitating feeling of icepick-in-skull.
He complied after that. Silly teenager.
(and, not saying you did wrong, as the risk is relatively low (and yours alone), but it’s there)
I was there for a 9-day migraine (triggered by MSG) already. They were testing for meningitis, then they nicked my spinal cord (very narrow/tight sheath) (let me tell you about my epidurals–no, wait, I won’t), which caused blood in my CSF, and were taking precautions.
Yeah, I’m sorry, but I go potty by myself.
I stupidly believed the doc who said she’d never caused the headache, and had a spinal tap three days before flying to my med school 20th year reunion. Agonizing flight, and I was in such pain once there I had to miss several of the events. Well, I guess at least people had an icebreaker to speak to me at the events I did attend.
Another mitigating factor, and I guess if this was going to happen it was good to do among a group of docs — a classmate who’d become an anesthesiologist sneaked me into his hospital on Sunday morning and gave me a blood patch, which cured the spinal headache within an hour.
The Yiddish word “kvetch” for complain/nag comes from the word kvetshn – literally “squeeze” or “pinch” but used most often to mean straining at stool.
Ha! Thanks for that “The more you know” moment! Hilarious.
Ever tried and poop with injured ribs?
Yep. I chased all the narcotics with cheap beer though so I was as regular as an Italian Train. Granted my liver took a hit but worth it.
I was on antibiotics a few weeks back with the Lyme disease. I discovered the joy of the Duc. The antibios shut me down. I totally understand, Spud.
LOL I was afraid to ask
Funny. I knew immediately why the Dulcolax was important.
This, but who wants to talk about poo?
The Dulcolax is also helpful if you have to take tramadol or Vicodin for a few days. Those can cause constipation, which would definitely make abdominal and chest pains even worse.
For bonus fun get the hiccups with bruised or cracked ribs
Hiccuping, laughing, and pooping–at the same time!
You won’t be laughing.
… or sneeze.
As do all women who have had a c-section or two.
Also those who have episiotomies.
Exactly!
Yeah, I figured it out pretty quickly.
Been there, for different reasons.
Templar of the Cult of Sigmar cosplay.
I saw Mindy Kaling in an ad, and she looked bizarre, like she was trying to change her face shape and color. Yikes.
http://latestplasticsurgery.com/mindy-kaling-plastic-surgery-photos/
She’d never have been a great beauty, but she had a cute round face that matched her personality. Now she looks…odd.
And so young for facial surgery! This dooms her to an aging process that is unlikely to go well.
Wait…. wut? She trying to become a white girl? Isn’t that illegal?
She looks like she lost weight.
Her (decade-old) book was pretty funny.
I always thought she was one of the brighter parts of The Office. Haven’t seen that new show.
I’ll be honest – I don’t see evidence of surgery but WTFDIK.
Maybe it was more odd looking in the video form (the Ad) than in a picture.
I think she was a writer for The Office too.
I have no idea who she is.

I feel for you, Spud. I thought i was a bit off skating yesterday, but I woke up with a grandpa pain in my right hip. I can barley get up off the couch. I can’t take no feel better juice because I’m almost due for my Dl51 exam. Nsaids don’t have the same kick. I gotta go back tomorrow, too. I hope I’m better, sitting and watching is going to really suck.
I hope you are better too.
Thanks.
Oh it’s on now MF’rs!
On a related note, I saw Fatman last night. It was entertaining.

More strange happenings. Still seems impossible.

My plan?
Well, forgive me if I take a page from their own playbook and double down on it, but…
We harass them within an inch of their lives for the next 2 years, and non-stop investigations.
And then when the GOP takes the house in 2022, we impeach and continued investigations non-stop 24/7 and investigations, and harassment.
Welcome to hell, motherfuckers.
The best part is they’ll probably be impeaching Kamala by that point. Impeaching Joe just seems cruel.
Everyone sentenced under his criminal laws disagrees.
*sigh* True dat.
GOP dont have the balls
I fear this is true.
Some believe that in being civil and gentlemanly, they are setting an example for a more civil discourse.
Some want to go to all the right cocktail parties.
Some just want to be loved, and they know that the media teaches that GOP is evil and selfish.
Civil? Gentlemanly?
Fuck no.
They’re all part of the same cabal. You know how many establishment GOP swamp creatures were breathing a sigh of relief when Biden “won” (or were even aiding and abetting)? They are part of the crew, tried and true.
Trump was the closest thing to an outsider since WWII and he was an artless, unprincipled buffoon. But he was not beholden to the Machine. Taking power back by any means necessary was job #1. A significant portion of Trump’s vote was not to support the GOP or even Trump’s policies; it was a monumental FUCK YOU to the establishment and a primal scream from the forgotten huddled masses yearning to breathe free. They felt like he was the only one in that G-d-forsaken swamp who gave a shit.
And the Empire Struck Back.

Some believe that in being civil and gentlemanly, they are setting an example for a more civil discourse.
That, of course, assumes that one’s opponent has a sense of shame. They do not.
I’ve said it before. I’m done with the electoral process. Politics has always been a mess, but at least my vote counted for something. Now I’ll find other ways to protect my family from predatory government. Im guessing I’m not the only one who has decided that ballots are no longer effective and move on to something else.
I’ve considered de-registering. Less jury duty. My candidates did poorly this year as usual but my propositions did surprisingly well.
I dunno. I think they’re learning at an accelerated rate.
Trump has an overwhelming amount of support compared to the old RINO base. So you might just be wrong about that.

Didja check reddit for slutty politicians? Just sayin’
I got tired of wading through r/politically_nsfw.
Out of boredom I started watching college football this year and today I saw this little guy run for 8 touchdowns at my alma mater. That was fun. Was kind of surprised to see the Buffalo Bulls on national teevee.
Probably too many big-name games cancelled on account o’ the COVID. I know Ohio State’s was.
The ‘vid is crafty – it only goes after the top schools.
They pulled him 18 yards short of the NCAA record for per-game rushing yards. For shame!
The color commentator – seemed to be a local lad judging by the accent – was beside himself, amusingly.
Only in this year could my alma mater Northwestern make it to the #8 ranking in the nation. But of course, that couldn’t last, just a few days on the top ten and then the unsurprising loss to a 1-3 Michigan State today. Sigh.
Mrs. TOK went Black Friday shopping. It was as quiet as it’s ever been. Nobody in the stores. Unfortunately that made it a lot easier to spend a gazillion dollars.
I ended up in Fry’s picking up a chest freezer, and it was a ghost town. Deader than the middle of a weekday.
Supermarket was quiet last night. As is here tonight.
Hope you enjoy your freezer! I lurve mine.
We had one back in VA, but left it for the new owners. We used the heck out of it. Freezers are a necessary tool for bulk buying, IMO.
Yes, we got a ginormous new-to-us freezer when the panicdemic started, before the beef prices went up so we could fill it up, and we did, so we have two freezers.
I bought a very small one recently – it’s about the size of a dishwasher. I love it, it lets me bulk buy.
XX said Walmart was a madhouse yesterday and today. Husband said Sam’s Club and the other grocery store he went to today were madhouses.
I thought Frys was closing down.
Wouldn’t surprise me. The store was half empty.
Half empty of stuff. It was fully empty of people.

Colorado governor and spouse test positive for Covid-19
Colorado Democratic Gov. Jared Polis and his spouse have tested positive for Covid-19 and are both asymptomatic, according to a statement from the governor’s office.
“This evening, Governor Polis and First Gentleman (Marlon) Reis learned that they have tested positive for COVID-19,” the statement reads.
Dude tells everyone in the state to stay home; avoid family; and basically skip Thanskgiving.
Dude then flys half way across the country to have Thanksgiving with family.
Dude finally tests positive for Covid.
I’d laugh, but it basically reinforces his original commandment unto the populace.
My grandmother tested positive for COVID today.
She is 94.
She’s been locked in a facility for 9 months.
Not allowed to visit anyone
She said she’d rather just die.
Only exposed to workers.
Still got COVID.
Fuck this fucking bullshit. Fuck these people. .
That’s terrible – so sorry to hear it.
Sorry 🙁
I swear there is more to this we aren’t hearing.
I spent 14 days in hospital this summer and haven’t caught so much as a sniffle.
I have heard there is a blood-type correlation (yay me) and a racial(!) or just as likely regional(?) component (boo me). And who knows what else.
I’m so sorry.
Bah. I tested positive. I got it at work, despite the masks, despite the anti-viral foggers, despite the protocols.
It was similar to a bad cold. IT IS NOTHING TO SHUT THE ECONOMY DOWN, IT IS ON PAR WITH A COLD OR THE FLU. Pure theater.
99% survival rate. Go about your fucking business unless you are compromised. Even if you are compromised (like me, overweight, asthma)
They moved her to a hospital today and she is totally confused by this because she thinks she just has a cold.
Naturally we are forbidden to visit.
I am vaccinated btw. Was a phase 3 Pfizer trial recipient. they don’t care and i guess there’s no way to prove it.
I’m not complaining so much that she got it. Such is life. And death. But for 9 months she was locked down, isolated, and depressed. And she was never afraid of it. What was the point of all that?
She’s a survivor and could well be just fine. Wouldn’t surprise me.
Agreed – it’s the pointless isolation that makes that terrible news.
Yes. But it’s not just that. Despite all that, she still got it. As well as 10 others in her location.
just. ridiculous.
what a waste of time.
That what “protecting the vulnerable” looks like. Phony bullshit theatre that doesn’t really work in practice, other than causing real harm.

Virus gonna do what virii do.
Sorry to hear, I hope she pulls through.
My wife’s 85 y.o. mother is in a NY nursing home that Cuomo sent scores of covid patients into. Not long after that, she tested positive and was placed in isolation. Per NY state regs at the time this past summer, she was not allowed to be retested at the time despite being symptom free, nor allowed another test until 14 days later, when she tested negative. So she got moved back into her room.
Then 14 days later, she again tested positive, again asymptomatic. Same cycle of isolation, again back in her room 14 days later after a negative test. Never had so much as a sniffle through the whole experience. And thankfully, only negative since.
Sadly, she is pretty far into her Alzheimers, so she doesn’t remember any of it. Or maybe that’s not such a sad thing, at least she’s not feeling all the stress. Interestingly enough, since the dementia has progressed, she’s become a very happy, always smiling person who’s beloved by the staff; it’s quite the change from her last few years of clear cognitive skills before the nursing home, when she was bitter, distraught, often nasty and hateful to others.
The human brain is such a mystery that we are a long, long way from understanding.
Sorry to hear about Gran. The seen and the unseen. And also sorry to mention Lockdown Sceptics so often, but they have good info and welcome all Anglophone reports. Not sure if registering is necessary but it seems more lax than, say, mid-teens TOS.

Anybody want to play quarterback in the NFL — tomorrow? Please contact Denver Broncos
That’s a crazy story. They’re going to try to make it work with someone who last played QB in college, I guess.
They have no choice. It’s retarded that the entire reason the NFL placed the QB’s on the covid list is because they didn’t wear masks while in the presence of Driskel. If they had worn them, the league would allow them to remain with the team.
Ridiculous theater. The camera was trained on that Lawrence kid all day today in SC and he wasn’t wearing a fucking mask when I was watching.
Since he had the ‘vid, he’s presumably not at risk (at least for a while), nor can he infect others. But I doubt the mask mandates are that rational.
You should get used to seeing him, after the Jets draft him and ruin his career.
*snort*
Poor bastard.
Oh, right. A miraculous survival!
Paging Matt Moore. Matt Moore to the white courtesy phone.
White phone? *falls off chair*
I’ve assumed the whole time that the season will end early. Another asterisk.

Protests don’t spread covid. Oh, rates are finally picking up to closer match the rest of country? Sorry, don’t have the resources to ask or tally checkmarks. Besides, science is settled, protests for correct social justice causes are covid free. Unlike icky right wing riots or church services.
The dispassionate science shines through. ?
The fact that there’s no evidence that Covid can be transmitted by touching an inanimate object that a Covid infected person touched hasn’t stopped them from cancelling all kinds of other stuff.
Can’t they at least admit it’s transmitted from infected person to non-infected person through breathing, as with colds? Covid is a virus; it doesn’t hibernate as a spore like some bacteria do.
“In Multnomah County, it is clear that the highest risk for COVID is close, prolonged contact with known individuals — usually family, friends, and co-workers,” Yeiser said.
Clearly Portland needs to eliminate housing and work in order to contain the virus.
I think I might have smoked too much. I’m sure I have, after reading this tweet.

Hey, Hogarth line of beauty there.
Zoom seems to hate me.
What did you do to it?
She didn’t humiliate herself enough. Zoom seems to be laser focused on that. Howdy, Friends!
Something like “You are the weakest link: goodbye”?
I dunno, I am an ould Skype user (for now).
“Hi, Jack. I’m Annette. You’re doing it wrong.”
Here, have a song: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UkVH3LYzG_U
That’s a good tune that I haven’t heard in over 30 years. Thank you!
I understand they’re Canadian. And about to take hostages. 😉
“I know when I’ve been insulted!” /Lucy van Pelt
ahem. Always nice to see you both.
And you as well! Count your blessings 😉
Hope you’re OK. Tu me fais rire quite reliably. I think the sassy robot would be a more apt avatar.
Neighbors are doing the unthinkable. They are young folk partying with abandon. I wonder which Karen will report them? Good Heavens! Someone just yelled “Whoo-Hoo!” Pearls are clutched and storm shutters are clapt-to…
In order to pass my advanced French class when I was sixteen we had a verbal exam in which we had to carry on a conversation with the teacher for 15 minutes. I had to look up that term. Mind you, I am sorta drunk but it seems that knowledge is a sausage processor. In one ear and out the other.

Oh goody.
Ugh. Tomorrow is going to be terrible and yet I just cracked another beer. Working amidst, around and among the breaks is infuriating. Poor old Festus is busier than a one legged man in an ass kicking contest. Six more weeks. Timing is everything. When one section breaks you need to dive in and do the dervish. This is a two man job that doesn’t pay well enough but the clients lurve them some Festus. Oh how the mighty have fallen…
Le pauvre F. Tu me fais, uh, m’inquieter?
Festus is a custodian in postal plants. Huh. Can still read a little more French than what’s on the back of the cereal box.
F, UOK? I would call you but J might not like that (she needn’t worry).
I can post my phone number in Roman numerals if you like.
I am fine and you’d best not do that because J would have my guts for garters. You can reach me at Festusbestus123@ the evil zone. IoBot is already aware and I really have no fear of doxxing, just a very possessive wifely unit.
Take 2g of tyrosine and report back.
I read ‘tyrosine’ as have some tranya
I would at least text you (area code odd odd even?) if I could find it.
Drop the capital “F”.
(778) 675-0908. Actually needed to look that up. Text only if you contact me, please.
I mean to remain friends with you but that’s all, Tox. You’re a solid person and we can be better friends going forth but that’s all. I’d like to get to know you better.
For some reason, the farmersonly.com jingle is playing in my head.
Like this ?
Ewww! Farmers are icky flyover bumpkin white supremacists!
What time signature is this in?. It’s pretty avant garde.
See how I went from criticising snotty progressive smears of lonely farmers to poking fun at one of them myself? Principles or something. At least I’m not smearing them all as racists just for being white. Go poke your hat, Seth McFarlane.
Apologies for the diaper drugs deposit but what the heckin’ home-grabbers is goin’ orn here?
“Sovereign citizens” ?
*The Southern Poverty Law Center says…” ??
What’s the FBI up to now? It sounds like every possible side of this is bad news, or perhaps a “nothingburger” if it’s just some crackpots bothering people with nonsense.
“Moorish Sovereign Citizens” ???
Right, so north African? Sounds like they have a solid claim on American land.
Facts seem to be hard to come by so take it all with a spoonful of sodium chloride.
I’m sorry, the card says “Moops”.
Mornin’ ya’all
Morning, Tres. If
..so I went up the apple & pears to tell the trouble and strife that I was ‘eaded to the rub-a-dub for a pig’s ear wif me china plate.”
Is that limey enough ?
Yes, although I am sans trouble, and soon to be sans apples.
I try swiping Tres, it autocorrects to Ted. Fuck you, Google keyboard. I do NOT want to wish Ted a good morning ?
JK – good morning, Ted`S
I’m surprised it doesn’t auto-correct to Trees.
Good morning to Trees and my scurvied friend!

Well, at least they don’t have the China virus. That would be way worse.
I suppose an argument could be made that “if they only had stayed home…”
