THIS NO SEA SMITH FAULT!
SEA SMITH GLAD SEE FUNNY GLIBERTARIAN LAND HOOMANS! SEA SMITH WANT SHARE FUNNY THEME SONG FOR SHOW HIM THINK UP. SO HERE SONG:
Just sit right back and you’ll hear a tale
a tale of a rapeful trip,
that started from some tropic port,
aboard a rapey ship.
The mate was a mighty rapin’ man,
the Skipper rapey and sure,
five passengers set sail that day,
for a three hour rape tour,
a three hour rape tour.
The weather started getting rough,
the rapey ship was tossed.
If not for the courage of the rapey crew
the Rapeow would be lost.
The Rapeow would be lost.
The ship’s aground on the shore of this
uncharted rapey isle
with Rapeigan,
the Raper too.
The Billionaire and his Slovak wife,
the pr0n star,
the Rapefessor and Rapey Ann,
here on Rapeigan’s Isle.
So this is the tale of our rapeaways,
they’re here for a long, long time.
They’ll have to make the best of things,
it’s an uphill rapey climb.
The first rape mate and his Skipper too
will do their very best,
to make the others rapeable
in their tropic island nest.
No cell phone, no LED lights, no electric car
not a single Millennial luxury
like some old white dead dude,
it’s primitive as rape can be.
So join us here each week my land hooman friends,
you’re sure to get a smile,
from seven stranded castaways
here on Rapeigan’s Isle!
WHAT THINK? SEA SMITH GO PITCH HOLLYWOOD? BY PITCH, MEAN RAPE.
…
WHAT MEAN, BEEN DONE?
WHO “GILLIGAN”?
THAT NO FAIR. SEA SMITH THINK IDEA!
… OK, IF NOT GET SHOW, YOU GET LINKS.
- THIS NOT SEA SMITH FAULT!
- RETURN OF CEILING CAT!
- SHE NOT NICE PERSON.
COME ON IN, WATER IS FINE!
THIS ONE SEA SMITH FAULT, PROBABLY.
Stop, drop, and First.
So this is where the line for your mom starts, eh?
Your mother doesn’t even require a line. She takes on all comers all at once.
Got em!
I mean, I can see where you inherited your own cock lust from, straf.
My mother is an angel. Yours is an angle.
Noice
I thought on cryptid time it is ‘stop, drop, and rape’.
Can’t rape yourself, well you can, but you should see a head-doc.
Let me tell you about the time I molested myself as a child. First, I gained my own trust by giving myself some candy…
I’m not weird about it or anything, I don’t tie myself up first.
Meh, I’m not my type!
*suspends SEA SMITH’s account.*
The Minnow is a private enterprise!
Cat reunited with owner after 11 days in airport ceiling
Answers the question “What’s that smell?”
For westernsloper, out of curiosity:
What was so bad about Key West?
It was sarcasm. I would think a notorious firster would have a well regulated sarcasm meter. Key West was an awesome duty station other than they tried to make me a maritime cop which didn’t take. 4th amendment? Ya we don’t do that. Officer safety and counting life jackets overrules that. Upheld by the courts. The constitution is dead.
Plus I bet you get a lot of “Hey, sailor!” there.
My brother is a maniac for “Gilligan’s Island”. Dude can literally recite whole episodes, verbatim; including singing/whistling the music cues. It’s hilarious.
I… wow. I can’t come close to that even for shows that don’t suck.
Yeah. Sit around a kitchen table, drink beers, and let him perform an episode of Gilligan’s Isle. Fun stuff.
So what was the name of that rock group that also got stranded on the island, then snuck away without rescuing the Minnow survivors because they wanted to steal the song that Gilligan wrote?
I’m thinking it was The Mosquitoes (you know, a band named after insects, as if that would ever happen) but I may be remembering incorrectly. And maybe the stolen song was “Way Out, Way Out”?
That’s about the only plot I remember that specifically, although there were a ton of episodes with guest stars showing up on the island only to leave without the gang for some reason, usually some Gilligan fuckup.
Rich guy Thurston Howell III (whenever someone mentions a “thirsty towel” to me, I ask if its number three from the closet, or Thirsty Towel the Third, but I digress) — why did one of the world’s richest men ride on a small tour boat with a bunch of commoners? Surely he had pals with a big yacht that could have taken them out instead? And why did they have so much luggage with them, including suitcases full of bundles of money? I think it’s all because Thurston Howell III was supposed to be like Scrooge McDuck, how an average Joe figures a rich person must be like. And that makes me wonder, did Trump see Gilligan’s Island as a teen and say — “that guy, that’s what I’m going to be some day” — and then Trump really did become what lotto players think rich people must look and act like?
I dunno’; ask my brother.
It was The Mosquitos. Your brother and I share something in common I guess.
“Soho Karen”
Is it OK if I hate the presstitutes who are harassing that nobody moron even more than I hate her? Why the hell is this still a national story?
Because they want a race war.
No joke.
She’s Puerto Rican I thought.
She’s one of those white Puerto Ricans, obviously.
Yeah, by the time that came out this story had already taken on a life of its own. Plus, the “victim” is still black so that gives the story enough oomph that they think they can suck a few million more page-views out of it.
Because they want a
racewar. Race would be convenient, but they will take it however it comes.National story? The NY cops issued a “fugitive warrant” and had her home town cops arrest her and book her into jail. Apparently, they plan on extraditing her to NY. Dafuq they charge her with? Excessive bickering? Asshole met asshole. They did asshole things together. The cops have to one up all the assholery, of course.
I read that as furtive warrant and that doesn’t sound good.
It’s theatrical grandstanding.
When your revolution is backed by the elites…
He makes perfect sense.
Although he should have lower his camera a bit.
Rippa’s cool, but man, he’s a slow talker.

Nice song. Rape-alicious. Please take as many of our ‘jurnolist’ friends on a fateful cruise as you can fit on your ship.
Le said TSA agents had her remove Muji from her carrier at the security checkpoint, despite her protestations that the feline was likely to flee. Le said Muji panicked, as she had predicted, and led her owner and airport staff on a chase that ended when the cat climbed a series of platforms to a ceiling enclosure and disappeared inside.
Fuck the TSA.
The only way to win is not to play.
I don’t go to Twitter for the same reason I don’t go to DU. I know everyone’s really upset about all this but I just can’t seem to work up a head of steam about it at all. The stolen election kinda red-lined me and now I’m suffering from severe outrage fatigue. To the point where I’m surprising myself. Who gives a shit if FB, Twitter et. al. ban everyone who’s not a registered Democrat? It’s not like we didn’t already know they were explicitly left-aligned. OK, take it a step further and all non-Dems get banned from the internet? I might have to go outside more.
I know I’m being Glib (drink!) but people’s time (generic people) would be better off spending less time fretting and more time reading Epictetus, Aurelius and Frankl.
Word. Now back to Twitter
No Maya Angelou? You really are the worst.
Hot take: Aurelius is just truisms of the obvious, not any first principles or high thinking. Don’t step in bear traps or trust Vandals!
No Stoic has ever been a Firster, let alone First among Firsters. It’s a philosophy for seconders.
Whycome I shouldn’t ban you?
/Philosopher
^^ this.
Social media is corrosive. Take these banishments for the hidden blessing that they are and leave these evil companies in the dust. They are evil. They do hate you. They don’t hide it once you step foot on their campuses.
I left FB in 2013, haven’t deleted my account, but removed all pictures and videos. Still use gmail for a spambait account; I set up my own e-mail server and use that for anything of consequence. I created a twitter account but never used it; not even sure it still exists. Never used instagram or any of the other ones.
My GF actually is employed by one of the major tech firms, and we don’t talk much about politics but she is aware to a degree that I don’t trust her employer and don’t use their services anymore. It’s kind of weird.
The only online places where I do anything other than lurk is here, and on some aviation web sites.
I rejoined facebook at the behest of a friend who set up a group there. I found it is easier to keep track of what some bars/restaurants are doing via facebook.
Several Reopen related groups are on facebook, but they are slowly migrating off to other platforms.
Zardoz. The answer is moar Zardoz.
ALWAYS.
“but people’s time (generic people) would be better off spending less time fretting and more time reading Epictetus, Aurelius and Frankl.”
Yes. People’s time would be better off spent making macaroni sculptures, learning to ride skateboards, or practicing tambourine. Literally anything would be more productive than being on social media. Social media is not real life.
I think a lot of people run into issues on social media because they go and associate with people they barely have a connection with. I have a Facebook account with like 50 people on it. It’s mostly people I served with. They mostly agree with me politically, the ones who don’t aren’t generally thin skinned cunts. There’s no actual drama. Occasional humor and chances to fuck with people. And you can kind of keep up with where they’re at in life.
But are they firsters?
No. Most of them will be seconder slaves to me in the afterlife. Some aren’t even seconders. But part of being a Firster is sharing my Firstness with the world. Like Jesus.
I should clarify like Jesus, only obviously superior.
Glibertarians is a form of social media, isn’t it?
Hush, you.
I don’t consider it social media. We’ve self selected to be here because of TOS, libertarianism, beer and nihilism.
But my Twitter feed, which should mostly be punk rock band/record label info has become Trumpserrectionfascists!!!!!!!
I wish Twitter accounts I follow could stay on topic. But it is all political now. It sucks. Because no one “in real life” just walks up to another person and screams “Fuck these white supramecists die Trumpaplos die die die!!!” However, that is a perfectly valid valid way to begin a “discussion” on Twitter. It’s fucked. I hate it. I hate everybody.
I followed a band I like’s FB posts for awhile because I was eagerly awaiting their next album, and… surprise! It turned into a political shitshow because of Orange.
It’s disgusting and I blame the asshole leader of that band for starting it.
you’re kinda quiet on twitter, but I like most of your tweets
some guys I only see there any more, not here
some guys are more interesting on twitter than they are here
one guy is a bigger dick on twitter than here, or maybe that was a bad day
it’s embarrassingly reassuring to DM guys there when this site goes down because doG knows I don’t want to bother SP while she’s saving our bacon
Malice and Hotep are live right now talking about this. They insist that they won’t leave Twitter et al because there are still a boatload of people out there that can be reached via those platforms.
I guess they can reach an audience until they get shadowbanned
They’ll be kicked off shortly, especially Malice.
There is something fun about being at a party where you are no longer welcome. Realize your role has changed and enjoy.
It is why being introvert is best…don’t want me here? Cool, cause I have been looking for an exit since I got here.
LOL been there a few million times.
If I only went to parties where I’m welcome, I wouldn’t be going to any parties.
Like being the one homophobe at a Ritz cracker party?
Just checked a couple items and it sounds from Dankula and others that the purge is starting.
Didn’t Hotep write a book about Twitter?
It’s all about MySpace. It’s real peaceful and nice over there. No one bothers you at all. Not even Tom.
LOL

I haven’t played in years….ill be back 😉
don’t know how I managed that question mark
excellent first game, then: your defense was very thoughtful, and I got lucky to sneak your queen
that’s the toughest any Glib has ever played me?
huzzah, sir
As soon as I made my one move early on I knew I was going to be toast…can’t remember which one but it was a bonehead move.
you lined up Q and R, so I had one or the other, but then you didn’t recapture, so I even got B back: free win
but you had a formidable presidio arranged, I got a last start opening, and you really, really deserved to win
This is why I will never join this thing. I have no idea what you’re talking about.
there’s a guy who youtubes great game recaps, and I need to find a free software like his where you can show moves on the board: the whys of doing this or not doing that; it all makes sense if you can see it
I’ve been watching a bunch of chess YouTube since we played. Just trying to learn the tactics and strategies.
yeah, I can watch the great matches: fascinating
https://www.apronus.com/chess/pgnviewer/?m=Nf3_g5
ooh: this is good; can you view it?
Not personally a fan of chess but I have a ton of respect for those who are good at it.
Don’t care. There are far worse people who don’t inspire anywhere near the same amount of ink spilled worldwide on him or her.
I have no idea who she is and the article was pretty awful. Didn’t explain clearly what she even did. Accused some black teen of stealing her phone or something?
AFAICT that is the entire story. She screamed at him or something.
International news.
Girl lost her phone. Accused the teen of having her phone, asked him to just show her the back of the phone. D-list dad saw that has ”because he was black” and told his son to refuse. Girl freaked out and tried to tackle the kid as they tried leaving. Her cell phone was found a few minutes later in some Uber car or something.
She clearly is not mentally stable, and yes, did assault a teenager.
But to bring this to international news?
Yup, gotta push that race war narrative.
Deplorable babes for Friday Funbags.

I can do without #14…flat asses just don’t do it for me, but I am with DEG on this one, that is probably the best.
That is an excellent gallery.
Is #19 a gun-toting member of the tribe? Be still my heart.
Again with the ink.
Are there no ink-free galleries?

Looks like Google just removed Parler from their app store (after Trump joined).
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/parler-removed-from-google-play-store-as-apple-app-store-suspension-reportedly-looms/ar-BB1cB6ny
Don’t bother ditching your iPhone folks.
Dumb. Phone.
“We want to be clear that Parler is in fact responsible for all the user generated content present on your service and for ensuring that this content meets App Store requirements for the safety and protection of our users,” text from the screenshot reads. “We won’t distribute appps that present dangerous and harmful content.”
So why haven’t you taken down twitter? The left posts dangerous harmful content all the time.
I mean, the entire business model of social media platforms is dependent on the notion that they aren’t responsible for all the user generated content on their platforms.
Don’t bother analyzing it, it’s just an excuse to fuck over people they don’t like and it’s transparent.
Get ready for “Free Speech”
^^^So much this.
Stop trying to apply logic. The purpose behind everything they do is to consolidate power and advance the narrative. If you frame it that way, everything they do makes sense.
That sounds like they are playing with fire…although I’m unaware of what services Apple provides that take advantage of the 230 privileges.
They don’t. They do control the App Store for reasons that are not always nefarious. But you still have the option of using a web site or bricking your phone in order to install what you want.
Didn’t Apple at one point keep their app development closed (maybe in-house only) back in the iPod days and maybe early iPhone? And then learned what a goldmine was available if they allowed independent developers?
I wonder if they will go back to a closed system of only approved developers or approved apps. They have a pseudo-closed system now with the App Store. Google is a little more flexible since you don’t have to actively root your phone to install things outside of Google Play.
Honestly not sure how hard it is to install an app on iOS independently of the App Store. Never tried.
They do it because they know the vast majority of users aren’t interested in that, but are more interested in not being exposed to security issues or other buggy crap that proliferates in the wider ecosphere. It was only pretty recently they started imposing their political beliefs.
So why haven’t you taken down twitter? The left posts dangerous harmful content all the time.
Sometime this week the official Chinese embassy to the US twitter was bragging about how their camps are liberating Uighur women from the oppression of their culture. But celebrating genocide is not anywhere near as bad as the president not playing nice.
Can’t one just get Parler direct from their website? Isn’t this just massive free advertising?
Hopefully this will Streisand Effect real hard and they will get tons of new users from this type shite.
They are going to make it hard to get information from dangerous sources aka anything they don’ agree with.
Think what happened to the Hunter Biden story, only on everything.
Sure, until their DNS and web hosting get #canceled.
If they go that far we’re in far worse trouble than we thought.
Aren’t we well on our way? Stormfront gets bucked, who cares, but now anything that isn’t personally approved by the most special mouthbreathing spit-aspirating retard poster at DU is considered digitized interactive Mein Kampf. Wage a little disinfo campaign and suddenly your little glibs dot com domain is pretty suspect.
Until DU itself gets caught up in the purge. Pretty soon you get enough people booted, they start setting up their own WANs.
Yeah they went from banning actual explicit racist and neo-nazi content to insisting that things like “free speech” and “conservative principles” are actually just code words that mean “Lynch the blacks” and “Gas the Jews.” in about 5 years or so.
I’m not opposed to social media companies saying something like:
“If you call someone one of the following names (Insert list here) you will be banned permanently”
But I was on Reddit today, and some lefty nutjob typed that they wanted Kim Guilfoyle to be spread eagled naked at the Washington Monument to be raped by anyone who wanted a turn at her. This comment was not only still in existence, it was upvoted, and the only comment pushing back against it did so in the context of “Stop, you’re being just as bad as the Trumpers are!!!”
What you will hear is “Of course your joining Stormfront, your a Nazi just like them”.
That is what will work. Just ban the most extreme at first, then slowly move the line and claim everybody who falls over the line is just as bad as the extreme.
Just like 1984, the “First They Came” poem is a blueprint.
Yeah but having an app available has made success for various sites much easier to achieve until now. Even those one or two extra clicks to access a site via browser turn some people off but, now that many don’t have a choice, maybe not so much.
Well, I tried and the fucking hippy assed captcha prevented me. I can’t read that shit without dropping some acid first, dammit!
I hate those damn things.
Do you even sideload bro?
Neeeeerd?
Hey Mojeaux, have some movies about racing across the country.
And some about Bandits.

Ha! Guessed it.
Great one. Two Lane Blacktop should also be on the list.

Love the pic of the Nevada. Reminds me of my childhood. This was the south end of our beach. It was part of the skyline for about 4 years of my childhood. It’s gone now, just a few pieces used to make a reef.
These moves against non woke people by big tech is the ultimate bitch move. They wait until 2 weeks before Biden gets in to enact their purge and expect people to believe it’s due to some guy in a buffalo hat besmirching the capitol chamber. Transparent AF and signals to most people how weak the tech companies actually are. This whole shitshow could well turn out to be a giant blessing in disguise.
I have a feeling this is gonna backfire on them. It might take a little while, but it will not turn out how they hope it will.
Reactions will happen. The social media sites went from Ferraris to Trabants and think they can still charge the same price.
Facebook lost something like 2 million american users in Q3 2020. It already may have started for them.
really? hard to believe. Americans spend a lot of money.
good.
They were using incrementalism pretty effectively but they jumped the gun and fucked it all up.
Trump did that to a lot of Lefty institutions. He broke the collective brain of the MSM.
To their advantage, they have a massive set of users that have become addicted to the service they provide. We will find out whether that addiction is enough to overcome people’s desire for principles. Historically, principles lose to addiction.
True. The addiction part is strong. People do kick addictions, though. I just don’t like the “This isn’t fair! I’m not playing!” attitude (not pointing fingers at people here). It’s part of the game and no reason to take it personally. People have been up against much more formidable opponents in the past.
I’ll admit to having been mildly addicted to FB back in the day. I nearly obsessively read the thing. I realized it was taking too much of my productive time away from things I really wanted to do. So I quit. Also, right after Sandy Hook I got a huge dose of friends and family blindly accusing anyone who didn’t want to ban assault weapons as “murderers” and I saw where we were headed regarding ostracism and cancel culture.
Don’t get me wrong, I think if you wanna stay around and stir shit up, more power to you. This isn’t “Screw you guys! I’m going home!”, it’s not participating in something that I think adds no value to my life.
This is my motivation. No value for me. But I do think social media in general is corrosive and I prefer not to contribute to it, nor expose myself to it any more than absolutely necessary.
It’s part of the game and no reason to take it personally.
What game? “Bully the non-woke into submission?”
I don’t really get it. It’s a service that is increasingly hostile to people like you and I. If Pizza Hut started kicking people out because their dinner conversation wasn’t woke enough, no sane person would ever go back.
If Pizza Hut was where the public went to communicate and that’s where the battle of ideas (at least for the average Joe) was happening, yeah, I’m gonna go there until they kick me out. I didn’t choose that idiotic medium to be the place where ideas would be exchanged, but, as the sayings go, you don’t always get to choose where the battle takes place.
One of the ways that the left is vulnerable is that they are now the elite and the establishment. It’s not exactly cool to be that, and they should get hammered on that repeatedly.
At least we have Trump and the GOP to remind us all what’s cool and what’s remarkable among the *checks notes* nonvoters of today.
Consider this: Proles had a much better life than Outer Party members.
They were also executed if they got too uppity and croaked by the time they were fifty.
That’s because they got the porn that was forbidden to Party members.
^^^This guy gets it.

She’s actually trying to be the victim here.
Hey, sweetheart, I found the deeper story here: You’re a bully, a racist, and a cunt.
In fairness, if a phone got stolen, odds are it was the closest teenager what done it. Black, white or brown. Or yellow and whatever…
Alright, fine–let’s say she profiled his youth. Would you have handled it the way she did? The manager was already looking at surveillance footage for her.
She went power tripping on this guy, congratulating herself on being proactive about getting her phone back, then referred to her 22 year old self as a “young girl” when the footage of her went viral. Look, you are either the Mighty Woman Warrior or the Poor Innocent Girl. You can’t be both.
But hey, per the article she considers herself a sweet person, so who are we to argue?
No. I’m not asserting that she did the right thing here, or that she’s not an asshole. I’m just saying that it probably wasn’t the fact that the kid was black which motivated her suspicion. It’s pretty easy to talk to people normally and have him show you that it’s not your phone. Most people would happily open it for you given a decent approach. I have no doubt she’s an asshole. Turns out, so’s the kid and his dad and even worse the lowlife cops.
There’s no shortage of assholes to go around in that story.
People are going to have to dial down their outrage level several notches and save that shit up for things that really matter.
You know what, Joe Biden’s right. BLM was treated very differently.
“Well, the BLM rioters/looters are oppressed people man, they’re lashing out at the evil capitalist system. You can’t really expect rational behavior from those noble savages who’ve had more than they can take.”
(Disclaimer: not an actual quote)
It’s the soft bigotry of low expectations all over again.
I was thinking exactly this the other day. You put it into words nicely.
I will take a little break from hibernation to share some weapons-grade derp:

How To Talk To Kids About The Riots At The U.S. Capitol
***
Music teacher Martin Urbach was up most of Wednesday night working with colleagues on lesson plans to help his students make sense of the day’s events. “I only got like two hours of sleep.”
Then, Thursday morning, he and his students at Harvest Collegiate High School in New York City met over Zoom to talk about how a pro-Trump mob stormed the U.S. Capitol, looted, destroyed property and succeeded, for several hours, in interrupting the certification of President-elect Joe Biden’s victory.
“I’m not sure if people know, but yesterday was a pretty tricky day in our country, in our world. … I would love to pick your brains and learn together,” Urbach said, opening the mic and the chat window to students.
One student said she thought Trump was a “sore loser who … should take accountability and be more mature about the situation.” Another contrasted what he’d seen with more peaceful Black Lives Matter protests. “They’re breaking into the Capitol, breaking windows and everything. A protest is supposed to be calm, it’s just walking and saying chants.”
***
[head desk]
I’d put money on that being made up.
Yeah, “met over Zoom to talk” gives it away. That ain’t happening in NYC schools this year.
“Twitter still allows these Portland antifa groups to organize, promote and/or incite violence on the platform:”
https://twitter.com/MrAndyNgo/status/1347695893261262848
That’s because their excuse for banning Trump was pure bullshit.
Fuck Ice
It’s fine if you like warm drinks. You do you.
In case anyone was under the delusion Biden wasn’t going to take guns, today’s statement on the “Tenth anniversary” of Giffords’ shooting – he’s gonna try to take all the guns and destroy all the gun groups.
I expected him to wait until some other tragedy occurred, but I guess they figured an anniversary was good enough to announce the obvious.
Oh boy.
to defeat the NRA and end our epidemic of gun violence.
The NRA is comprised of feckless cuntes. Go ahead and concentrate on them while GOA/SAF/etc. do the actual legal work. Also, great look targeting a civil rights organization.
The NRA is like the lottery. You give them a couple of bucks and there’s a bazillion in one chance they get you something in return.
I missed that. Quote?
Excellent. Their overreach is going to be their undoing.
This.
I don’t think I’d use the word “excellent” here. This has the potential to be catastrophic.
Seems like a great way to get more escalation from the right.
But it has also potential of working. It has in the past.
“working” from what point of view?
Yeah remember when Obamacare pissed off people so much they threw the Dems out and then Obamacare got repealed?
Every leftist advance becomes permanent bedrock policy of the American government inside of a decade. If they ban AR15s we will never ever get them back.
To be fair, they did ban AR-15s and we did get them back
Sunset provision. And they weren’t even technically banned for that time.
The Virginia session recently that had bills that banned virtually all modern firearms shows you what they really want. That is what the Biden/Harris admin. will seek.
Only because the AWB had a built in sunset provision. If the AWB had needed to actually be repealed by the GOP, it never would have happened.
The Republican Party does not counterattack, ever. What was Insane Leftism 20 years ago is now Settled Policy, and 20 years from now will be Bedrock Principles.
They banned a lot of guns that we got back actually.
The things that stick around are “free shit” things. that’s what becomes impossible to undo.
I expect Mr. Biden and his party will not make the same mistakes they made when they passed the first AWB. If there hadn’t been a sunset clause, it would still be in effect today, and possibly have had its weaker parts strengthened.
The 2A crowd made a huge error in not pressing immediately in the early parts of Trump’s term actively to repeal more gun control, and especially to attack the NFA. I think Biden and others have already suggested they intend to expand NFA greatly rather than pass a whole new structure.
Federal background checks didn’t get repealed. If anything, Republicans want to do them harder.
I was more thinking of the “First they came” poem about the Nazis. Interesting fact, the author was a Nazi supporter at first but quickly realized his mistake.
What the Nazis did, start small and ratchet up their evil, can work again.
I lean towards catastrophic too.
The original version of the Gilligan theme has “and the rest” instead of “the professor and Mary Anne”, which always struck me as funny.
New suggestion: don’t link to twitter here if you can help it.
Cut and paste content if you must.

BRB
*sigh* How does one update? The Eyepiece link on the home page is broken.
And Tampermonkey says I have the latest version from 268 days ago.
Here is the article
I don’t update the version number very often so that I don’t accidentally push buggy features to y’all. The current latest is pretty stable, so you should be good to download the latest.
So I have the latest version, 3.07? I don’t see any options related to Twitter.
Never mind, I clicked update anyway and now it’s there.
Damn, you really don’t update the version number do you?? Ha
Did you click the link to download the latest one?
Tampermonkey auto updates everybody’s script if I increment, and I’m not confident enough in there being no bugs or incompatibilities, so I leave the version number alone most of the time.
? Appreciate your work.
I’ve done enough CSS updates of my own that I thought that might have wrecked it but nope. But mine are mostly aesthetic. Like coloring derp links special.
Yeah trashy, really appreciate it. I never used it til about 10 minutes ago….twitter be gone!

I’ll probably just have indigestion. Might or might not be armed.
Trying to take my mind off all this insanity. Anyone recommend any good games to pickup on Steam?
Hearts of Iron. Any of the Total Wars. Maybe Defcon. Actually, I might not be the best to listen to.
Have pretty much every Total also have HOI.
What do you like?
I’m in the mood for strategy. Non-multiplayer.
Crusader Kings 3 I love for recent strategy. .
Anno 1800 I spent about 100 hours on recently. City builder with heavy economic production focus.
I enjoy satirical communist simulator Tropico 6 as another builder.
Simple phone game that’s strangely addictive? slay the spire.
Rome:Total War, the original and not the re-release. You can go between strategic and tactical levels, control the economy, run diplomacy, and is quick to learn the basics, but a knowledge of history/geography and experience can really improve your play.
Conquering Hyperboria in that game is difficult. Just becausse it takes so long to get there, and the defenders are strong.
Most playthroughs will never get there. (It’s an easter egg province hiding up in the baltic area of the map.)
how’s the three kingdoms one?
The redesign of the system kind of got rid of the tactics, since often you just tell your entire army to charge a specific enemy, and then defeat in detail.
Joke’s on you, you cunte. That outfit makes you look fat.
Well, that’s because…
If a tree falls in the forest but the news media doesn’t report it — did it really happen?
Depends which direction does the tree lean? If it’s left, then yes I really happened.
Idk but it sounds like “Laurel” or “Yani”.

I call on President Trump to resign.
If he refuses, I call for impeachment.
It’s not like he raised money to pay their bail, or anything. It’s not like they killed anyone or burned down anybody’s business, either.
Razorfist is playing the MAD MAX movie tie-in which was extremely fun, and super underrated.
I figured everyone in the world bar one had forgotten about this, but it’s such a good game.
It is on the list of games I’ve completed. It suffered from being a movie tie-in, because the stigma on those made people avoid it.
I enjoy swinging fists as whatshisname. In fact it’s all I like about it. But it’s such a good time all by itself.
The car play is goddamn awful. All I want is to rockem sockem as whatshisname. But good god, it’s great. The shit I love about Witcher 3 is what I like about Mad Max. It’s an awful shame it’s one-off.
Sweet, he’s good with the political snark too but his frame rate’s going to give me a seizure.
What is the meaning of this?
FBI agents raided the homes and offices of Republican Tennessee lawmakers on Friday.
Agents searched the homes and offices of former House Speaker Glen Casada and Rep. Robin Smith.
No details of the raids and investigation were released.
Who knows? It isn’t necessarily connected with what just happened, could be god knows what.

REP. MO BROOKS: CONGRESS WAS BRIEFED ON ANTIFA INFILTRATION OF JAN. 6TH STOP THE STEAL PROTEST
Color me skeptical.
People with the soapweed gene – how strong/pronounced is the soapiness of cilantro when it shows up? I’m wondering if it renders the food completely inedible, or mearly unpleasant.
Who cares? What a disappointment.
I care, I asked the question.
How disappointing.
I dunno what that means. I just make brisket chili last night and part of the base had cilantro leaves and stems finely chopped and cooked down.
In case you hadn’t heard, there is a gene that a portion of the population has that causes cilantro to taste like soap to them.
Huh…never heard of it. I just thought people didn’t like it.
This Gene.
Unpleasant. Very soapy taste. That was my taste buds thirty years ago. Today, I don’t mind/kinda like cilantro. My taste has changed. Go figure.
But does it still taste of soap?
It tastes strongly soapy/uriny in my case but the food can be tasted through and it isn’t puke bad or even not able to finish the food bad, just pretty unpleasant.
I see.
I’m starting to suspect I may be in the soapweed gene population. but it was in the ambiguously bad range, so I wanted to get some anecdata on how it expresses in other people.
Maybe you just don’t like it but I can’t speak as to what it tastes like to normal tasters.
I don’t know. I only rarely encounter cilantro.
I’ve gotten hints of soap on occasion from cilantro, not strong or persistent enough to be unpleasant, but distinct enough to understand why it would be unpleasant if amplified.
Maybe I have half the gene because it only tastes unpleasant in large, concentrated quantities. Like that one time Pret a Manger substituted cilantro for romaine in a salad. *gross*
Otherwise, it’s essential in all the usual ways.
Most herbs will be unpleasant in salad green quantities. That’s why smaller amounts are used as flavoring.
I’m now imagining one of those packaged caesar salads with all cilantro. I don’t hate cilantro, but that still sounds utterly vile.
No. It mellowed out. It’s more “fresh herbs” than the hand soap it used to taste like.
My boss from a million years ago just sent me an actual physical media disc of music he loved from 2020.
I’m trying to figure out the best way to enjoy it.
For reference, this is the guy that introduced me to GBV.
You are the only one I trust.
I think this operation is going to require alot of drugs. For gods’ sake man, tell me there are drugs!!
Are you serious?
There are always drugs.
Well ok then, carry on.
And a physical disc of music from 2020; didn’t GBV release like six albums in 2020? I’m still playing catch-up.
I think only 2. But who knows, Bob is insane.
Insert disc in computer, rip to mp3 (or flac, preferably), enjoy wherever.
The wife and I did some day drinking in the neighborhood. She’s all crashed out on the sofa. I’m watching Blade Runner on Amazon Prime. And commenting here. And drinking bourbon and branch water. Cheers, Glibs!
I’m starting over on Bablyon 5. I only got 2 episodees in during my last attempt so not a huge waste of time.
The first season is a bit uneven. Some of it could just easily have been a Star Trek episode (that’s fine by me by YMMV). It really starts to pick up toward the end of the first season. The show very much has a memory. Something that happens in the first season, even something innocuous, may come up in a later episode. I loved that series.
I’m on the pilot now. It’s cheesy in places and the acting is iffy but the writing is good. Hope I stick with it this time.
Gotta get to at least the fourth or fifth episode. The early episodes are “introduce everyone” and “themes”. The story actually starts in episode five.
That applies for any tv show.
I’m not going to lie, when the Minbari said, “there is a hole in your mind” I was hooked.
It is nicely mysterious.
Fuck yeah.
You are a lucky man, E.

Is that the same woman in the first and second photos?
I think so…
I’not doing well, help,
Hang in there, Bob. I love you, brother. Know you are loved.
Loss, first Wendy, then Bella now @#$, I’m tired of being alone,
I don’t want to hang this out, but I have no other Friends,
Well these are the friends you got. You’re literally going through the worst shit ever. We’re here for you, man. Tell us your stories, your poetry; tell us about Wendy. I’m here and happy to hear about it.
Ahh, Wendy, a sparky little Redhead with hips and big Boobies, I still can’t believe I attracted her to me,
she said she like d the way I carried myself, confident and refined. I miss that Woman,
You are a skinny dweeb. You must’ve really liked those hips and boobies. All that…flesh!

You’re not completely alone, dude.
Here’s a nice Wendy song.
One of the best fucking songs ever recorded. 15 year old egould was already a Beach Boys fan. And then Descendents did a cover?!?! Worlds collided in so very good ways.
I love them so much. I’m so happy I got to see them before the fucking plague. Just bummed my son was in CO and couldn’t go with me, as he may never get to experience the awesomeness.
Appropriate?
And here’s some weirdos from St . Louis? And their song “Wendy”. Not the Beach Boys. And the album version may be better than the live version but whatevs. https://youtu.be/epdvZ-fuU-8

Much closer, but curls,
Something like that, but younger when we met,
Dammit e, that’s what I hope for, carry on!
That theme song made me nervous. I have the Slovak wife, but at l least I’m not a billionaire.
I’m starting to notice how hard it is being without a friend you knew and loved for 32 years, it’s really getting to me, very lonely, not a good mental place to be,
I won’t pretend to know what that’s like… But we’re all here for you, dude.
I thank you, you guys have been here since the Exodus, pray it doesn’t happen to you,
But I am, a Rocketman!

I guess she won that bet,

Gonna go with the band roll call; Bill the primate pounding the skins. Karl may be the best punk rock bassist, ever. Stephen is amazing. Milo went to college. And Bill is probably the best drummer, ever.
Karl is easily the best. He and Bill embarrass every other band.

Im 20 minutes into Face/Off. Wife just woke up. Commenting on the internet. Punk rock YouTube videos? Insanity!!!!
Listen to Comment 65, it’s truly great rock song IMO,
Are you playing lead/solos, bass, vocals, b/u vocals? Is all of that you?
Nice recording.
Lead by Chuck, and bros on BG vocals, otherwise me, bass, drums and Tele, and lead vocals, thanks!
Chuck’s lead work is World class IMO, truly great song work,
Can you play rock/metal solos? I’m finally getting close, but it’s still la-la land for me. I can make some noise, but I’m no Eddie Van Halen. I don’t even want to be EVH, but still it would be nice to play something people recognize as “a solo”.
I can solo on the keyboards all day long, but guitar escapes me, so i have Chuck,
a good friend, a great producer, and a great guitar player,
Go to bed, old man.
Against my better judgement I joined Parler. Any suggestions on who to follow?
The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, wastoids, dweebies, dickheads – they’ll adore you. They’ll think you’re a righteous dude.
Fran Drescher.
I immediately regret my decision. Social media is a dumpster fire.
Choose the form of your destructor!
I like “High-Functioning Libertarian”. He’s funny. I rarely check it, though.
It’s 1am. Why am I watching EMT bending videos?
Sounds illegal,
Emergency medical technician?
Ooooh, conduit. I got a couple of benders with dies for that.
I was picturing some sort of mashup between Emergency! and Futurama.
Would 100% binge watch that. Someday the AI will be so advanced as to be able to generate such a thing.

Mornin Glibs! Trying to catch up on comments. Anything of special moment occur? A certain banning or shall I say raft of banning for wrongthink? What the fuck is happening right now? This is bigger than FDR putting Japs into camps and stealing their possessions. Where is the outrage? This is akin to the suspension of Habeas Corpus. It’s a nightmare scenario and half of your country applauds it.
America has finally achieved peak stupidity.
I hope.
Apparently Apple kiboshed Parler and at the same time Amazon did the same. Amazon runs the servers that Parler uses. You want to talk suppression? Well do ya, Punk!
If you search Parler on the Google play store it comes up with a message at the top of the search results “Parler by Parler is not available on Google Play”, but of course Android phones can accept third party apps not from the Play store, at least they used to be able to? Anyway I imagine it will be out there somehow. There’s a digital purge going on, for sure, but I don’t think it will be so easy to remove the wrongthink entirely. They can just corral it and herd it into the digital margins, perhaps.
Oh wonderful… I get to live like a disaffected teen in the digital basement. They will come for this site eventually, mark my fucking words.
I’m under no illusions that it won’t; all good things…
In the meantime, it’s a reminder for me to make the best of it while it’s here, to try and make time to write something substantive and worthwhile rather than dump in derpy links or making glib comments.
I really enjoyed your pineapple-pizza story if that is any condolence. Next time be more careful about using the same words in your sentence structure. I give it a hard “A”.

It must be true because I don’t see a fact-check!
Blue Checks add Gravitas. Parler has no Blue Checks, hence they are to be disregarded.
Judi went shopping today. She made a couple of sales and my pay has been fatter lately. She spent a thousand bucks on mostly groceries, gas and pet food. I know who the prepper is and it surely ain’t me. Got some new underoos out of the deal so all is not lost…
