I try to stay 2 weeks ahead, better finish next one.
Late to the show but I was going into work as an office bitch at a small engineering firm in Pasadena, CA on 9/11. First wife was pregnant with our boy and a month or so out from him entering the world.
Best I can think of, as I listened to a notoriously goofy radio program get serious was ‘this isn’t good.
By the time I got to work both towers were hit and the whole office was glued to the corporate boardroom TV.
Needless to say I had wife go to parents house. Thought was, consolidation of family in one spot so we know where everyone is.
Not more than 1.5 years later I was lacing up boots because I felt I needed to.
Now 20 years later, I am done with them. I will be hanging up my civilian boots because I do not want to be a part of their plan. I will not go down as ‘taking orders’ fuck them
Best I can think of, as I listened to a notoriously goofy radio program get serious was ‘this isn’t good.
I still vividly remember how I found out. I was in homeroom in 7th grade, and they did their morning announcements like usual. Then at the end, the principal always had an inspirational segment, usually with some sort of clickbaity intro line like you’d expect from a shitty preacher. Before that segment, my homeroom teacher said something to the effect of “oh, this is so sad”. I figured she had previewed the segment ahead of time and was making commentary on the story the principal was about to tell. Something extra sappy, no doubt.
The principal started off with “The world trade center has been struck by two airplanes… *pregnant pause*” Again, I’m thinking we’re in inspirational story mode and this was some interesting fact about the history of those towers. “and the Pentagon has been struck by another plane this morning….” That’s when reality hit.
https://www.breitbart.com/pre-viral/2021/09/12/college-football-fans-chant-fuck-joe-biden-2nd-straight-week/
Hmmm…I might just start watching college football…
As much as I hope for a popular uprising and sincerely hope to fuck Joe Biden one day… I mean in a purely platonic sense, that’s like 2-3 college assholes chanting in each of those. When there’s a wave and a thunderous echoing “FUCK JOE BIDEN” bouncing off the stadium walls and echoing across the country, then I’ll celebrate.
And I guess I need to start writing so I too can be included in the “Free Cascadia Times” preview edition!
Shit, your stuff is fun! Welcome contributor!
It’s not like Joe Biden is the problem anyway. He has no clue what’s even going on.
Absolutely. But whole stadiums chanting “Fuck Joe Biden” might reflect a deeper realization that something is seriously wrong with how we see ourselves and our relation to the government. Which is why it won’t happen. How’s that for a BIPOC pill?
true dat
PM is right.
I saw Mets and Yankees fans doing the chant together in a show of rare unity.
The Jays would appreciate some help from the Mets.
While I appreciate the sentiment, the “Fuck ________” chant is seriously played.
Fuck fuck chants.
There.
I said it.

I flew on the nite of 9/10 into Chicago. Was on-site at contract manufacturer for an audit. Audit end quickly. Rented a van with team (3 women) and drove back to Cali without stopping (I did almost all the driving); listened to talk radio the whole way. We stank upon arrival. Picked my car up from the parking lot in Oakland. Parking was comp’d. Flew out next month and tire exploded on landing and nearly crashed. Never made it to the jetway. Exited via portable stairs. Everytime, I flew with that team something happened. Never took a flight with them again due to safety reasons and new company rules. We still laugh about it…
I’m impressed you laugh about it.
I don’t think we laughed about 9/11; ala Leslie Nielsen Naked Gun of sorts. It was just the hysterics that would occur with these 3 asian women traveled together. It became company legend.
I want that crook, Joe Biden, to come face to hairy penis with our beloved STEVE SMITH.
Good luck Joe.
Biden had really impressed me so far. In only 7 months he’s already a strong candidate for worst president ever. It usually takes a lot longer to be that bad.
He’ll never be as bad as wilson or FDR because the dude’s already managed to tank his approval. he’s gonna have some issues in about year two i think and hope.
Someone true because he cannot drum up the Legislative support to pass his piss poor ideas. Thank God for that. However, EOs are being treated as Legislative actions in ever-increasing fashion.
The candle that burns twice as bright, burns half as long.
Old Pudding Head Biden has a lock on the gold medal for most inept POTUS.
Worst? I’m sure, given time, it won’t be debatable.
STEVE SMITH FUCK JOE BIDEN. AND BY FUCK MEAN…
Joe Biden, 47 years, finally President, and can’t remember who he is, let alone why is there, Welocme to America!
or Welcome,
His VP has a goiter, his press secretary has hair plugs, and he has dementia.

Some attractive ladies there, but just being thin and in a sports bra doesn’t make you fit.
It’s a perfectly fine place to start.
I would kick all of them out of my bed (into my shower)
I’d drag them into my gym and have them start pushing sleds.
That’s a weird euphemism.
I have been getting a bit annoyed at women who look like they’ve never seen the inside of a gym or do physical work flooding the fit girl/fit women/athletic women subreddits.
Maybe I’m getting spoiled by the number of actually fit women at the gym I go to.
I get it, not everyone is interesting in powerlifting/weight lifting/etc, but shit, at least look like you’ve put in some work beyond not getting fat and picking out a sports bra.
I’m gonna try it anyway.

that’s cute although kinda feel bad for the senile dude in the picture.
I cant feel bad for that asshole, it’s not possible, all I feel is contempt. He may be the one frail old dude on the planet I’d punch right in the face and not feel bad at all.
He gave me plenty of time to do what he wants me to do, but now his patience has worn thin.
Heh, a ‘Fuck BIden’ chant would have been epic.
I was just in the (((them))) owned local liquor store for a Sunday night last minute beer grab. No masks, customers or employees. Who’s not afraid of the Delta variant? Me and ((((them))). Refreshing. Heineken 24 oz cans, yummy.

That’s what I did, finish the story, Dammit!
Even though my life is fucked up, I keep going, what do I have to lose? Yippee!
All this Time I was finding myself,
I didn’t know I was lost,
Sheet. I should finish “Slaves of Baranga.” It’s mostly done, and half is already up as a draft on glibs. It’s my story inspired by pulp cover art. And having read the contents of the magazines since starting, would probably fit between those pages.
I’m wondering if I should have it just skip forward in the story between installments with a “previously on” blurb covering what happened in the “missing issues” where the other chapters were serialized. Or would you guys find that too annoying?
Serials! go back and adjust the tale if need be but do it!
Here’s one for a friend,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33dtXbVRwcQ
Maybe we’ll meet up again someday,
So I raise my glass to you!
I wonder how long Biden’s physical and mental condition can be glossed over? Trump had a complete physical in Jan. 2018, one year after being sworn in. Among the tests was a standard cognitive test on which Trump got a perfect score. Maybe the media should start questioning him soon about if and when he intends to get a physical? Then, if he gets tested, it needs to be released. Madam President could be here before Jan. 6, 2023; if not until after that date she could fill Biden’s remaining term and be eligible for two terms of her own (which is scary, but improbable?).
Bad and worse, what else can happen?
oh yes. really looking forward to kamala
I don’t think even the Dems are clever enough to fortify her to the top of a single national election let alone two.
Team Red finds a way to run FrankenHitlerCula?
How do we know Trump scored a perfect score other than they told us so? I don’t trust a single thing coming out of any administration, bureaucracy, press secretary or spokesman.
It’s basically a pass/fail system anyway.
Got a pulse? He’s good.
Not bad, as far as presidents go.

China? not happening,
This is rich coming from the Grauniad. “But we push kinder, gentler Communism! It’s not supposed to turn into this!”
It never wants to be bad, Communism, 101
Seeming them say that wealth redistribution is bad is something else…
went further and faster than anyone expected
Yeah, who could have seen it coming??
Mark me down as somebody who simultaneously believes that China is a highly manipulative, horrible trade partner and also that the problem isn’t China. We could shift 100% over to India tomorrow, and the problem still exists. What problem? That it’s cheaper to hire 10 people, most of them halfway around the world, to manufacture something, pack it onto a boat, ship it back halfway around the world, receive it at port, distribute it across the country, store it in massive warehouses, and deliver it to your front door than to hire a single american to manufacture the same thing and sell it in a boutique next town over. US employment laws and the entire employment systems (looking at you, employer provided health insurance) are the root cause of a lot of the issues we’re now encountering in global trade.
Plus zoning and other business regulations here. I can’t buy a piece of light industrial property and put up a building without having an approved landscape plan, paved parking with drainage swales, side walks and curbing plus whatever else the planning department thinks I need to provide.
^^ This. Also add in various regulatory requirements for the products themselves, the multiplicative effect of the same issues impacting all materials suppliers, the regulatory burden of managing the business, licensing, insurance, etc. All of that makes the US an uncompetitive market. The only options for US manufacturing are “assembled in USA” like the car companies or differentiation from the imports (usually on quality).
The reason I like to bring up the “free trade will liberate China” because it a clear example of the advocates of freedom being completely wrong. This exact sort of stupidity is one reason why things are so bad right now.
You have made this same point on so many occasions.
The only reason to keep making it is to be a dick.
Or… what kinnath said.
LOL
(IFL this place.)
Well I’m not convinced libertarians have really owned up to being completely wrong and why they believed in something so wrong despite the clear evidence.
And we aren’t going to get out of this current shotshow by being “nice”.
So, let me get this straight, Winston – it’s the libertarians’ fault for where we’re at??
That’s your conclusion?!?
Holy shit, bro. Whatever you’re smoking, I’ve GOTTA try.
I mean, just wow. That’s some “hot take” right there.
To be fair, he said they were wrong , not they are responsible. His argument is with someone and I don’t feel like arguing on that someone’s behalf. It’s a ridiculous thing Winston is doing.
After reading his initial comment again, he may be saying libertarian philosophy is responsible. ?♂️ Hard to tell who Winston is even talking about.
It’s a ridiculous thing Winston is doing.
It’s interesting to me that out of all the annoying shitposting schticks on this site, Winston’s is the one that garners the most hate.
Owning Cato and owning the libtards. Both are annoying.
I certainly don’t hate it. As I noted, I’d just like to hear something else.
The Bro’s schtick is funny to me, but that one really grates on some people. *Shrug* He adds substantively, so it’s obvious it’s a schtick.
Q’s titty links also bother some folks. (For me, meh). But Q adds a lot here.
Winston’s obviously got enough IQ points to add substantively to the conversation, but seems intent on simply saying the same thing over and over (and over…).
It’s intellectually lazy and hasn’t added anything after the first few hundred times. I’d like to hear something more. Now at least I know that the source of his irritation is that he feels libertarians got lazy and lost the battle of ideas. Ima disagree with that, but at least I know now what’s up his ass.
Or, I could just hit mute – but I really would like to see something more. But… who gives a shit what I want anyway? I guess he can keep shitposting if it makes him feel better.

I don’t disagree. I’d prefer a less abrasive, more intelligent engagement on the topics, especially since his point of view is actually controversial and may result in different sides forming. I really think that’s the difference. If he were posting obviously stupid articles from Slate or HuffPo or wherever focused on a single hobby horse and he added a line of snark akin to what he does now, I don’t think anybody would even notice his pattern. It’s the fact that he’s needling the cosmos that makes it different. There’s a different burden required to go after libertarians, even ones that aren’t strongly represented here.
I’m not saying anything’s wrong with requiring a higher burden to go after cosmos. Ethos, pathos, logos, and all that. However, I just like pointing out, from a people watching position, the shit Winston gets seems disproportionate. Bro is the only other person who gets so much shit, and that’s on purpose. I don’t even think I rank Winston’s “democratizing China through trade” schtick in my top 5 most annoying list.
I also think you make a good point about Winston not engaging outside the schtick. Everybody else does. How much this changes people’s perception, I don’t know. It definitely impacts my opinion. However, I get the autism vibe, so I try not to be too harsh. I’ve had plenty of friends and acquaintances on the spectrum who are one track minds and go very light on the pleasantries. Can’t fault them for having a brain that communicates differently from mine.
Winston doesn’t think we can have trade with China because he’s Tom Cruise’s brother and thinks everything costs $100?
No I just think that it is an example of the complacency wrought by the collapse of the USSR and now we are seeing that the battle of ideas is very much not over.
the battle of ideas is very much not over
Look at the optimist over here! The battle of ideas is over. It ended sometime during Obama’s second term, IMO. The battle of ideas is over when the mechanisms of the state (whether they be bureaucratic, corporate, or other) are weaponized against the ideas supposedly battling.
The battle was over when disparate impact was rebranded as wokeness and was accepted as gospel truth by corporate america and the government schools. The battle was over when they locked us in our houses and threw away the key despite the evidence supporting much more targeted outreach. The battle was over when the IRS, the national banks, the tech companies, and Big Non-Profit were weaponized against those who held views that were well within the mainstream earlier this century. The battle was over when balancing the budget became a joke and MMT was accepted as gospel. The battle was over when anthropogenic CO2-driven climate change was accepted as gospel.
When a federal administration labels the Constitution “Harmful Content” and those that express support for the Constitution are labelled “Extremists” who need to be purged from the government, you know the true nature of the state.
Thanks for that blackpill…
You’ve made the point many times. You’ve either changed peoples minds. Or you haven’t.
Continuing to harp on this is counter-productive. You current style is just drive-by shit posting.
Take Ozy’s advice. Write an article. People will treat is seriously and respond to it.
Nice works up here, for now,
They got good reefer up there, Yusef, or what?
I still think Santa Cruz is growing the best herb on planet Earth, but it’s been a little while since I was there.

But they do have one of the better mascot names of all time. “Go Banana Slugs!!”

Okay. On behalf of ALL capital and small “l” L-libertarians, I hereby acknowledge that we were wrong.
Does that mean you’ll move on? Can we expect some new content from you henceforth?

Not “on many occasions”.
Every. Goddamn. Day.
Yes. We know. We heard you the first 73,432 times.
Not trying to pick on you, Winston. I know you’re venting to people who understand rather than arguing with the commies.
But you’ve got a lot larger brain than this schtick. Write something longer for us – an essay on historically where it went adrift.
Write a series of short essays on critical turning points, alt-histories, etc.
I’m being serious. You obviously are well-read and have a lot to offer. Give us more.
I’d really love to hear where the China will liberalize from trade idea originated. I have a weird desire to see the source of this idea because I distinctly remember my father talking about this like 20 years ago and thinking it was a dumb idea on it’s face. Which I rarely thought about things my dad said.
Maybe the idea came from commies who had infiltrated the US.
https://www.iatp.org/sites/default/files/Full_Text_of_Clintons_Speech_on_China_Trade_Bi.htm
Here’s Bill Clinton.
And here’s Cato
https://fee.org/articles/free-trade-and-human-rights-in-china/
Also Rothbard and Friedman did write that trade was the best way to defeat the Soviets.
Overall is does seem to date back to the “doux commerce” arguments of 18th and 19th century free traders.
https://mises.org/library/trading-fidel
Here’s a Rockwellian making a similar argument about Cuba back in 2001…
And Rockwell himself…
https://mises.org/library/isolationism-and-china
This was written mere months after Tiananmen Square massacre:
https://fee.org/articles/chinas-great-leap-backward/
There were some skeptics even then…
Free trade requires all parties to abide by the same basic rules whatever those might be set as.
China steals IP from its trading partners and I guarantee that is against one of those basic rules.
There is no “Free Trade” with the CCP running the show over there.
The other thing Winston is that different political ideologies wanted trade with Communist China for different reasons.
Libertarians are a tiny minority and have no real political power, so not sure how they can be blamed for influencing real events like trade with china since the 1970s. I think anyone who advocates unrestricted trade with a nation that wants to destroy you and steals from you is a fool.
Like nation building thru military force, nation building thru “free” trade is unproven and likely doesnt work. I cant think of a single success that led to a free nation like America.

According to an English translation in the replies, that tweet is not accurate. ?♂️
huh,
The translation isn’t much better.
I already had the Commie Flu, and I’m immune as fuck, but I have a Vax card, want one?
Not really.
For now, my resistance will simply consist of not complying. Which means I will not attempt to participate in any activity that is currently barred to me. My small voice is not going to be heard. Maybe there is a greater chance of the voices of all the wrecked businesses being heard over mine, I don’t know.
This could all change on a dime, of course, if my company decides I am not worth the hassle of employing any more. That may be when shit gets real.
I wonder what is Tulip’s recipe?
I’ve spent the last few weekends on getting Hollandaise sauce right.
Do I recall correctly that she’s done an article in the past on the five mother sauces?
look it up, we have archives ya know,
I am corrected. It was a KK and Tulip tag team.
How was fishing?
Boring but fun, a chiilax time,
3 egg yolks
1 stick of butter
squirt of lemon juice
dash of paprika
Melt butter in the microwave. Heat it but don’t let it get too hot (boiling)
Put egg yolks into blender and beat until uniform (probably 10 seconds)
On blender low speed add warm butter to eggs. Sauce should form in, like, 10-15 seconds. Add lemon juice.
Easy, peasy.
Cool! thanks!
I would not want to be the parent of one or more members of whatever we are turning this generation of kids into.
” years of being treated like disease vectors,” are you kidding me? Kids are total disease vectors, the little Shits,
Yes, but we did not historically put them in bubbles and shit over it.
We had Chickenpox parties as a kid, it was fun!
Last winter one of the high school sports teams over in Idaho had a CCPV party when one kid had it and the school wouldn’t let them play.
Yeah, Karol’s been right on about kids the whole time. And the first line there is the one that pisses me off the most – here are (mostly) women, who are neurotic people in therapy before covid, saying shit like ‘Kids are resilient” just because they don’t complain if you force them to wear a snotty cloth on their face for hours a day. Seven year olds don’t complain when the parent beats the shit out of them either, that doesn’t make them “resilient”. It’s so infuriating.
Well said, kids are just trying to survive, what Mom and Dad tell them is Gosplel to a certain age,
My favorite is teachers saying that kids can miss a whole year of school and it ain’t no thang.
Karol Markowicz is a treasure.
Andy Dalton has many souls as he has playoff wins.
LOL, the context isn’t entirely clear, but I kind of like what the old guy is giving us here. Yes, Joe, take off the feed bag and yell at clouds or whatever you’re doing.

I received a phone call from some MA public health office on Sunday. I wasted 30 minutes of my life answering all sorts of intrusive personal questions. The only reward was telling them that I would “definitely not” take any C-19 vaccine.

Saucy AF.
I’m in this wonderland wherein I’ve tendered my resignation but am still working for two weeks, waiting for financial institutions to release funds from an investment account so I can buy a new house outright.
I’m feeling a little cocky and very empowered to speak my mind.
When I feel that way, I generally end up blaming alcohol.

My Ben-Girls did their best to lose yesterday’s game in the 4th quarter, as is typical. They managed a W tho’.
Mornin’ Glubbies! Really wrenching tales over the weekend. Hope that everyone has better times ahead. Just found out that ne’er do-well Step-son has dug himself into yet another shit pit. Dealing drugs and he claims that he was ripped off and needs us to bail him out. I surmise that he dipped into his own stash. It’s not a huge amount but I don’t want to pay for his addiction. Something tells me that our joint bank account will be drained to the tune of $800 by Tuesday. That slug is gonna end up like my cousin Dean, hands slathered in butter and thrown from a high-rise. Fuck.

Those people do not fuck around. They’ll take a finger for less. Hard Men.
Why the butter ?
He stole from Paula Deen ?
So the poor fuck couldn’t grasp the railing on his way out. 15 floors. It’s not really funny, Tres.
It’s tragic, no doubt. I just didnt think about greasing someone’s hands. To me, zip-ties, duct-tape, or some other form of restraint would be more practical.
Sorry you had to deal with that.
I’m glad I didn’t understand the butter reference.
So sad, avoidable, and terrifying.
Don’t rip off The Angels.
Shit.
That sucks. There’s really very little you can do about it, except be completely willing and open if he comes back, no judgment.
Fuck html tags…
It was appreciated, HE! There’s nothing that we can do. He’s just a lying, secretive ball of failure. He’ll be 40 soon. His sisters and father wrote him off long ago. Nobody can help him and no one can help us. I know where this ultimately ends and I’m not too pleased.
I have one of those Festus, I left him in Cali, and he still pesters me, my only Boy, and he’s a trainwreck,
You have my condolences,
Hayeksplosives hugs for everyone!
Is it wrong to cry with people I’ve never met??
I do, I have very recently,
A new hire told me that last week, she buried her brother who had just moved to Atlanta. He was going to be the victim of a robbery, and fought back- seems it didnt end well. Her baby-daddy had been sent to prison (I didnt ask why) for 30 years, got parole after 7, and was home a month before someone killed him. The day of her interview, she came in directly from court, where she beat the case on w/e she was charged with (again, didnt ask). As she was telling me this, she said “I might start crying. I cried in the interview.” I told her, “I may start crying just from hearing all of this”.
Sorry to hear this, Fes. Damn awful situation for him, and you.
It will break Judi. We’re already unsure if either of us will still have a job next month. I just want to kill stuff, sometimes.
Howdy Kids! another glorious day ahead, food stamps and bad backs here I come!
A couple weeks ago, one of the employees (in his early 30s) stood-up from bending over, and complained about his back. I added, “you’re a kid- wait till you’re my age”. He said, “you mean it only gets worse?”. I told him, “once you break 50, your life is nothing but Tylenol and boner pills”.
His response ? “Well, shit.”
And having to piss all the time, What? I can’t See you without my glasses
Those too! I must have over a dozen pairs of reading glasses floating around here plus the ones that I keep in the truck and both of my sites.
You know the best is over when you start making old-man sounds. Climbing into the truck, leaning to pick something up from the floor etc.
I only woke up when I rolled over and my back spasmed, the neighbors must think I’m dying with all the shrieks and howls that emanate from this Old fuck
Old age- when you can get injured just from taking a nap.
Tylenol is no bueno, if you drink. Not that Ibuprofen is that much better.
For thee, not me. Im an aspirin guy. Which means if I cut myself work, it bleeds endlessly since I take my aspirin before I go in.
I must have 10k of them sitting around, won’t touch em,
On to lighthearted matters, in the course of prepping my Cali house for sale, I’m getting a little work done.
One part of that was laying down some “decomposed granite” behind the outdoor kitchen (grill, fridge, sink built into a nice counterspace). The granite has a slight pink tone to it.
Today my indoor/outdoor cat came in and is completely dyed pink. His fur is black on top and what used to be white on bottom. Now he is black and pink. It’s hilarious to me.
There’s a “pink pussy” joke there, but Ill let it slide. Low-hanging fruit and such….
Hey, what does this button do?
I see.
