If you couldnt tell, the 1 sister was a raging smack addict at the time.
So fatigued of these “modern” “gritty” revamps of campy ideas from the past.

Shannen Doherty is still a wood.
WHAT HAPPEN HER? STEVE SMITH THINK HER FUNNY. WISH WAS STILL HERE.
I miss “Woke Charmed” and “Secret Nazi President”.
Actually one of the reasons I’m a fan of the new Stargirl show (in its Second season). It’s set in amorphous time (paper routes, classic cars, diners, with the internet and cell phones), has a group of teenage characters who are becoming legacy superheroes, and embraces some of the true silver age strangeness. The teenage characters make believable dumb mistakes, and actually make an attempt to learn from them.
FFS, it’s a show with AI goggles, a magic/tech sentient staff, a car that transforms into a giant robot, a bad guy who’s power is that he’s really good with athletic equipment, and Solomon Grundy (a giant zombie).
I really need to sit down and watch that. I enjoyed the character back when she was first introduced / in Johns’s JSA and bought the first season… just haven’t watched it.
“54 inches of fun!”
STEVE SMITH REPORT FOR DUTY! BY DUTY, MEAN RAPE.
Unfortunately for most of us — yes, your rape would probably involve our duty….
Heh…Heh… He said doody.
I think you are confusing him with Stefan Schmidt.
Thanks for the guitar piece.
I am looking forward to Hollow Knight II and it hopefully not kicking me in the ass so hard I can’t progress.
Dehring will serve four days in the Gallatin County Detention Center and will pay slightly more than $1,000 in fines, plus another $1,000 to the Yellowstone Forever wildlife protection fund.
Yeah, I hate it when the courts force people to fund groups like this.
There shouldn’t be monetary penalties for crimes against the state, the cost to punish someone should be borne solely by the people that think someone needs to be punished. This included speeding tickets and the like, no $100 fines, if speeding, running a red light, not wearing a seatbelt, etc… is wrong then a night in the pokey or some required safety classes or some such things should be the only allowable punishment.
I am going to have to find that episode of Seinfeld online…(“The Race”).
Seinfeld has shifted homes over to Netflix for streaming.
Not included: Lego Iceberg, Lego Frozen DiCaprio, Lego Steamed Up Car — and enough Lego lifeboats to go around.
I would give them bonus points if you can also get a Lego SS Californian — but only if there’s no way to put the sets too close together….
THEM ALSO NOT HAVE LEGO SEA SMITH!
True enough, noble cryptid. True enough. Free Cascadia! (Maybe we can get Jefferson with it….)
FREE CASCADIA!
Don’t forget to get some lube from friend Jesse for when you get fucked over by Greater Idaho! Not sure if a rapesquatch is really used to a taste of their own medicine and the Gnomes of Boise use large size potatoes.
It looks like there are enough lifeboats for the number of legomen included in the box (0).
Reposting from the tail end of the dead thread.
You can almost hear the “journalist” tsk-tsking in the background.

Then of course they judge him because he didn’t have taxable income last year (no salary). Never mind the incredible amount of wealth he’s created or the innovations he’s spurred on (including those of his competitors); he didn’t pay his FAIR SHARE!!!
Muh tax money!
I know he’s done his share of grifting from government (and the Solar City deal was wacky)… but damned if I don’t want him to succeed in getting to Mars and flipping off the power structure here.
Hate the game, not the player seems apt. We all would love to see a self-made person build up what he has without having to do the things that he needs to in order to remain viable in the face of regulations, laws, politicians with hands out, etc.
Any one of the big billionaires though is a perfect candidate for a Galt figure to emerge, but that sweet slop at the government trough is just to alluring.
I get the impression he did what he had to in order to achieve his goals.
I respect the heck out of Musk, but he is a Steve Jobs (who I also respect) level of self absorbed asshole and focused directly on his own best interests.
For a rather poorly written, but informative nonetheless book I’d suggest:
Power Play: Tesla, Elon Musk, and the Bet of the Century
The amount of people he has screwed over while creating SpaceX and Tesla is not insignificant.
Elon is the guy I read about growing up, Privateers!
read this, Elon!

Same article, further down:
Come on…he needs to hang out on one of our Zooms.
Well, the ‘wasted’ part certainly fits in well.
Maybe because I don’t have these grand projects or FU money, but right now, if I was in his shoes I would be hoping into these little corners of the internet just to have fun. Kinda like Bill Murrey showing up to random parties because someone found his secret voicemail box and asked him to.
Stupid ‘grammerly’ hopping. I need to uninstall this since I don’t really use it beyond writing my promotion package.
I kind of assume he’s too busy using his spare time to bang cocktail waitresses, two at a time….
*cough*
I mean hanging out at the chic parties and whatnot….
*hic*
That would be awesome! Hey KK -he’s SINGLE
I wonder if we can get resident fanboy Yusef to get him on! A little AMA session, present it as private, invite only and no recording so he wont get in trouble by the AF for smoking on screen.

FED!
If the government wants to tax billionaires, they probably should close the loan loophole.
Must be a reason why they don’t do that.
You mean, start treating loans as income?
What about when you take out a mortgage or a car loan? Put something on your credit card? Buy something on installments?
Debt is not income.
Pure evil.
https://amgreatness.com/2021/10/04/canadian-doctor-says-something-malicious-is-going-on-after-hes-punished-for-treating-covid-patients-with-ivermectin/
Yes
Huh.
Obedience and/or death.
You can drop the “or” in this. Death is a forgone conclusion its just a matter of how we arrive at it.
Its almost as if the medical profession has been told “you will only do what we say” by both pharma and government. All those years of training, all those calls to find creative ways to treat your patients, all those hours you spend one on one with people suffering, gone in a fucking instant because…
It won’t make anyone more money.
All the generations of trust and respect – gone forever.
Or at least until the next Neuremberg Trials and a lot of hangings.
To get to the Nuremberg Trials we need to win the war first. But I haven’t seen any Stalingrad or D-Day battles won by our side.
It doesn’t make sense to me. Not the Big Pharma / Big Gov alliance, because *that* bit of power capture we see all the time — but that not just the Health Depts (petty bureaucrats) but the hospitals and all the doctors *all* fell into line to ignore normal immunity for most people, to not do what was standard treatments for respiratory virus infections and to insist that little strips of cloth are meaningful? Nutters who wanted OMB out at all cost, ok — maybe (highly educated == highly propagandized after all)… but months into the Grandpa Badtouch debacle? Why are there not more actual doctors bucking this crap? Has ethics and morality just completely left the building? I find that hard to believe across the entire country….
Drop “almost” and you’re dead on. Denying decentralized authority to tailor treatment gives a lot of control over the narrative and, as a result, over people. Submit to medical rape or get fired or get dead. It all comes down to discrediting all vaccine alternatives because they see the public as too goddamn stupid to make their own decisions and that’s the most charitable interpretation of the bullshit they’re doing.
Wow. I don’t want to believe it.
Yeah, this. Is it “just so”? I dunno.
The commies have learned. You don’t even need bullets anymore.
So in my medical transcription/editing, I have some big urban hospitals and I have one tiny hospital in Idaho.
Guess which one uses the FLCCC ivermectin, zinc, and vitamin D protocol.
I wanted that model until I noticed it was Lego, I like Lego, but My Plstic crsck is more like this,

Or Plastic Crack Addiction,
I feel bad. I took the day off and didn’t tell the wife. I have done nothing but watch ‘vocal coach reacts…’ and ‘Person analyses movie for whatever’ videos all day long.
I think we all need a break once in a while.
I need to burn 160 hours of leave before December 20th; date that if no appeals are granted, I will be fired if they do not accept my accommodation to not be vaccinated.
No pay out for left over PTO? I know my company made the switch from PTO accrual to guidelines just so they wouldn’t be on the hook for a payout.
I wish. I could probably put in for a deferred retirement since I do have 15 years, but way under the age of eligibility. I haven’t fully explored that option yet.
My wife has a bit, but she says she can’t tell the difference between resigning and deferred retirement. Also, she and I are of the opinion that resigning is the only way she’ll get her accrued annual leave. Regardless of what the law says (even fired employees get payouts for A/L), we are convinced they will deny that (similar to no unemployment recently for those refusing the vax in private companies). And obviously the courts will be useless in ruling as the law states. They will rule in favor of them being invited to cocktail parties.
P.S. I’m still pondering cashing everything out and buying land in a favorable state along with any other hard assets that can’t be easily stolen with a keystroke. Worst case scenario I paid a bunch of taxes on cash out and we live the last couple decades of our lives as freely as possible. Actually there are worse scenarios, but if those happened we’d all be fucked so…
Yeah I am all over the map on what it will be. First step is after the Moderna/Pfizer first shot timetable is blown, I will drop my religious accommodation request.
Then…its probably wait until after November 8th (last day to get J&J) before they determine if granted or not. I say this because I think they want a 2-5% firing of employees and if they determine before the 8th, the employee can seek the J&J.
So somewhere on the 9th of November, if denied the accommodation, I will need to file paperwork to leave December 9th. I pick that date for a couple of reasons. It is when I left the military, it is my birthday and I want it also to be the day I shed myself of the FedGov.
Was it you that said they’d need to approve all or reject all accommodations? I can’t imagine this will be left to first or even second line supervisors. The sheer scale of this would crush HR. It took them weeks to approve my resignation.
I like your idea of having a rebirth. My wife’s birthday is 11/16, but I doubt she’d look at it that way. She’s extremely pissed about having to leave. She still can’t wrap her head around the fact that they don’t want her there anymore
Yes. At least for DOT. The DOT order has the front line manager as the decision-maker. However, we are sending requests up to a tiger team and they are giving their recommendations. If I choose to go contrary to that, I have to have a justification.
This is why I think its either going to be a blanket approval or disapproval.
Whu? I think I missed something.
Stillhunter +1 and myself are pretty much in the same boat. Give up what we do and love to do (I assume her drive is at that point) or succumb and say you beat me.
Funny enough any video with the word “reacts” in the title is an automatic refuse to click.
I don’t care if it is one of my favorite YouTube channels or not.
It’s the same reason I refuse to click on a articles that are “Five reasons…”
Normally I don’t but its two pretty red heads (two separate channels) and I was bored. Normally I move on past them because I think they are contrived and bullshit “First time hearing Bohemian Rhapsody!” Really? You never heard it? Yeah go suck an egg.
I see the new thing is “Tribal people first time….” Ugh.
Im off to bed, kids. Contrary to what Rufus thinks, some of us do work even at night.
se’lah
Home for yet another Friday, so that means I’ll be available to host the Zoom/Happy Hour/Hopeful Elon appearance starting at 20:00 Eastern.
Next two weekends, it’s looking like I’ll be out of pocket. Heading to Cedar Point with the girlfriend for one weekend, and Cleveland Beer Week starts next Friday, and continues until the 24th. Right now I’m waiting on a response on ‘vid requirements/rules for one event before dropping money on tickets for it (which the site helpfully says are non-refundable).
I picture you and girlfriend as sung by this during Beer Week.
That’s St. Patrick’s Day. Cleveland Beer Week has been much lower key the past three years. Last year is for obvious reasons, and the slow down started when the first chairperson running it was convicted of embezzling funds from the organization that were supposed to go to the charity. After that, the organization announced they were done with it after the 10th year, and some other people stepped up to take over.
Regardless, there’s usually a lot of better then usual beer available for that week around the local haunts.
I’m at the BMV waiting for the youngest to take her driving test. Fingers crossed. I’m ready to retire from chauffeur duty.
It got teen 1 and 2 coming up in back to back months for their driver’s tests. They have done absolutely jack squat to learn other than when we force them to get behind the wheel.
My first two were like that. This one couldn’t wait. She got her driving hours in within the first 6 weeks.
It’s one of the most liberating days of a father’s life.
good luck!
Thanks! And you’re right. My life should get a lot less hectic. She has school and work and volleyball practice.
Yay! She passed!
Congrats! Now…”go to the store for some milk please”
*does celebratory back-flip*
(not really)
Abso-fucking-lutely.
Congrats! Now sign her up for extracurricular defensive driving courses. Make sure she understands it’s not a punishment.
Yes. It is hard to teach how to be assertive while defensive to yougins and driving.
My parents took me to the Roseland (the hood) and made me drive in that area when they were teaching me how to drive. “If you can drive in the hood and not hit a crack head or hit someone on crosswalk when your light is green, you can drive anywhere.”
Good advice. My kid did a course up at BIR right after he got his license. It was taught by race drivers, but it was not a racing course. Some excellent classroom instruction and really effective driving coaching.
Before I found that I was looking at This one.
Do it.
Hi Riven!
‘Judge Carman said his decision was designed to “put an exclamation point on how serious this is.”‘
Meh. Nature corrects for stupidity.
I’ve seen some amazing behaviors in the NPs. People honestly think they are theme parks with a petting zoo. It’s also why you should get miles away from the main drag.
Looking forward to Hollow Knight 2. Also watching the Muppets Halloween Special. Going to a show first, will watch late tonight! The Lego Star Wars Halloween Special was – forgettable after about the first 5 minutes. Does not bode well for the completely remastered Lego Star Wars game which has been trying to emerge for three years now.
I had a lot of fun with that one. Couldn’t really get into a couple of the other ones but for some reason the formula really worked with SW.
Couldn’t be any worse than the Star Wars Christmas live action special.
It was remarkably similar in blandness.
Maybe they should have included a bit with Stephen Colbert dancing with life-size vaccine syringes.
OT @ Doc C, since I have him here… Spudalicious is coming in for a few days to see SP, WebDom, and me. I think the contents of a bottle you left us just might be alchemically transformed into urine.
I’ve been bluff charged by a feral hog with . . . hoglets. It was effective. I can’t imagine being bluff charged by a grizzly bear with bearlets. The thing is, its not a bluff charge until they veer off. And there’s not a damn thing you can do about it (unless of course you are sufficiently armed).
Lol. Even if you are armed your chances are shitty.
I really should practice after pissing myself and screaming like a small child to better prepare.
A dude I know surprised a bear in WY and it fucked him up pretty good. He got out ahead of the group, came around a corner and BOOM! Bear spray in hand and he still had no chance to use it.
Bears be scary, but I’m still more afraid of moose and people.
Or are Usain Bolt.
And with another hiker you can outrun.
Put yours and mine togther and Swissy’s comment is rated “mostly true”
Usain reaches 28 mph…a grizzly can reach 35 mph. Its a gamble…

Scott Horton vs Bill Kristol debate from Oct. 4:
https://youtu.be/LxdXqAkgOVs
I haven’t watched yet but I’m surprised it actually happened. To be honest I’d root for damn near anyone living or dead over Kristol but go Scott.
You misspelled Scott Horton vs POS debate.
Synonymous terms are synonymous.
He ate Kristol’s lunch, the bag it was in, and the Tupperware in which his momma packed it. I’m biased though.
Kristol: ‘I don’t think that post 1945 America has seen a lessening of freedom’….What fucking planet does that asshole live on? Must be nice to fly private and not take his shoes off. Fucking retard.
I almost fell asleep to Kristol but Horton I feel engaged. Kristol rambles on and I don’t know if it is his voice or what, but I tuned it out.
Horton is an encyclopedia. Kristol looked dejected 10 min into Hortons opening.
I misplaced my link below between Shapiro and Kasparian and they are both engaging. I want to listen to both. I don’t agree with either of their views, but I am engaged and thinking.
Sky News in Australia really likes to tear down Binden. I like it.

You think they are worried? They should be,
Awesome! I enjoyed that. More please.
Neighbor update: Sheriffs office is there along with the vulture friend.
I think adult protective services may have paid her a visit earlier today. She is getting a couple of home health care visits a week and she has a habit of leaving ammo and a revolver laying around. If she has shown any mental lapses during a visit, the presence of the guns would get reported to APS.
Of course, she could also be filing a report against my wife and me for whatever she thinks we did to her, but I think the former situation is much more probable.
If the deputy is searching that house for guns, he’s having a bad day. it’s a semi hoarding situation and Chuck had a lot of guns squirreled away, and I do mean a lot.
My other attorney has in-laws that are both in decline. She asked if I would take their guns. She’s Irish, and has an allergy to guns.
I said no, I won’t take them, but I will store them for you. And you absolutely, positiively have to unload them before you leave their house. Apparently, that was a bit of a struggle, between the oikophobia and the unfamiliarity. She was amazed I could pick up two guns I had never seen before and chamber check them (spoiler alert – they managed to unload them).
So, now I have her in-laws’ guns (a nice Browning over-under shotgun and an S & W revolver – I need to do a little research on exactly what they are). I compulsively cleaned and oiled them – tsk, tsk, a touch of surface rust.
I told her to let me know when they were going to do the auction/estate sale, and I would bring them back.
I know the neighbor has no such fears. Now ability to aim and pull a trigger may be a different matter.
The vulture friend has now rolled past our house at least twice. We’re out of the way so I know it’s to check us out. I have to assume there’s an obstacle or two preventing her from taking all of the neighbor’s stuff and she thinks it’s our fault. On the third drive by I think I’ll call her and ask if I there’s anything she needs my help with and is afraid to ask.
https://ktla.com/news/local-news/sheriff-villanueva-wont-enforce-l-a-countys-covid-vaccine-mandate-in-his-department/
Someone’s gonna get their budget cut.
I like the gesture, but I am guessing it was never going to be his responsibility anyway. So its a free statement to make. Still, like it.
Anyone publicly taking a stand on this is a good thing, imo.
He’ll come around. It’s amazing what people can come around to when you threaten their $$$.
He got 53% of the vote in 2018. Could be that he feels he is on the right track of the voters with it. I guess next election will be telling.
He’s unfirable. And I wonder if LA County is really going to defund the Sheriff’s office.
https://www.wfmz.com/news/area/pennsylvania/covid-19-cases-hospitalizations-rise-among-vaccinated-in-pa/article_e2b6ac84-286a-11ec-baee-cff90d0a2cd1.html
Over 25% are breakthrough cases of the vaxxed. Climbing on up…
In MA the vaccinated now account for 45% of COVID deaths. The number keeps rising.
I hear you but what’s the percentage vaccinated in Mass? Also, the vaxed include a large number of the most fragile. It’s definitely not as effective as advertised but the deaths among the unvaccinated are disproportionate to the stats.
True. But for the first 5-6 weeks since the first injection people are officially considered “unvaccinated.” It would be interesting to know what happens to them.
According to the Mayo Clinic 68.3% of the population of MA is fully vaccinated. In general, the northeastern Puritan states have the highest rates.
CA is at 59.6% and FL with that horrible anti-vax governor is at 58%.
If your vaccination rate hits the 40’s, like Southern States, everyone does.
dies
Note that ineligible percentages (under 12) varies by state and region, which makes comparisons of total population percentages not exactly apples to apples.
I can’t find under 12 offhand, but under 18 is close yardstick. For that, you have Utah at 30% of their population at one end and Maine at 19% on the other.
https://www.kff.org/other/state-indicator/distribution-by-age/?currentTimeframe=0&sortModel=%7B%22colId%22:%22Children%200-18%22,%22sort%22:%22desc%22%7D
68% if the population is vaxxed, and 45% of the deaths are vaxxed. My crude calculation is that the vax reduces your chance of dying by 1/3.
Compelling!
Compelling evidence for boosters. See, heads I win; tails, you lose.
Because another shot of the same stuff that is failing, because the variant it was developed for is disappearing, is going to make a difference.
something, something, definition of insanity.
How much are we paying for these shots and each booster?
Is there a way to track this overall?
I have never watched Seinfeld.
Oddly enough, earlier to day I read an article in U S News about how the vaxxed are FED THE FUCK UP with the unvaxxed. What unmitigated murderous disregard for the feelings of one’s fellow man. Special guest appearance by Cole Beasley, who gets booed at Bills games for not bending the knee.
Just round them all up and offer them a simple choice: It takes the needle or it gets the bullet.
Dude.
Watch Seinfeld.
This. Now on Netflix.
We started from the beginning this week. So goddamn funny!
. . . I read an article in U S News about how the vaxxed are FED THE FUCK UP with the unvaxxed.
Huh. I’ve been reading stuff from the unvaxxed about how they feel the same way towards the vaxxed.
I’m sure it’ll be fine.
And all the normals, as usual, are left holding the bag saying “we don’t give a rat’s ass”
When you learn that Art Vandelay was mentioned in the second episode…*mind blown* Seriously, you should watch it all the way through.
Spoilers!
*shoves Sean* Get out!
If a nearly 30 year old show still needs spoiler alerts…I give up.
?
That woman just wanted to compare ass fat with the big griz.
Over 25% are breakthrough cases of the vaxxed. Climbing on up…
Obviously the fault of perfectly healthy yet unvaxxed psychopaths.
I pay so little attention to the Motherland. Today a Russian journalist was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. It was also the first time I heard his name.
A Nobel today, an unintended fall to the death tomorrow. Congrats to the guy though.
And the last /Putin
I’m not knocking the guy, what he’s doing takes balls, but it’s a political award. There are plenty of places that are way more dangerous to journalists. Funny how the Nobels always seem to comport with western sensibilities now.
Now?
This of course has nothing to do with international peace or disarmament, which were Alfred Nobel’s intentions.
I thought his main criteria was being a black American president who is left wing.
Biden says he won’t protect Trump’s papers, I guess.
That may prove to be an interesting precedent when a Republican Congressional committee is looking into Biden’s “negotiations” with Big Pharma in a few years.
(1) Sure, the Repubs are going to do that. The Red fundraising wing of TEAM BE RULED isn’t going to stick their dick into one of their biggest sources of graft.
(2) In the unlikely event they do, the hard drives will have mysteriously failed (as fedgov hard drives with embarrassing information are prone to do).
He’ll be dead* why should he care?
*of natural causes of course.
Biden has a 50/50 chance of dying of natural causes within six months and barring that he can plead senility, not that the pussy ass Republicans would ever push the issue anyway.
I’m watching an interesting cultural exchange.
Sitting at the new neighborhood bar (beer and wine and food only). There are 2 bartenders on duty. One is a beautiful black haired young woman with a heavy Hispanic accent but a great command of English. The other is a pretty (but less make up wearing) American chick of unknown ethnicity.
They both address the customers in English. But they also talk to each other, in detail at times because they are learning a new money transaction system. The Hispanic chick speaks to the other bartender purely in Spanish, and the other chick answers back purely in English l. I think they might have struck a deal to help each other learn.
Kind of charming.
And they appear to have 100% comprehension of everything they say to each other.
I have a friend of Hispanic heritage who was only allowed to speak English at home when growing up. However, one set of grandparents absolutely refused to speak anything but Spanish (both parties understood the other language)
She said it was interesting visiting with the grandfolks:
“Como esta, jita?”
“I’m fine, grandmother. And you?”
“Bueno, tambien.”
And so on.
I had that going on a little with my German in-laws (prior marriage).
I’ll be picking up New Mex for dinner tonight. The food is good, but I swear they have the cutest bartender I have ever seen my life. A cute as a button Latina, sadly masked these days. But hey, yoga pants!
These ladies are unmasked! We are in a census designated zone, under the jurisdiction of the sheriff, who has zero fucks to give about cloth over the face unless you’re heading to a bank.
One thing I did enjoy was walking into a bank while masked.
I make a point to do it in banks.
Same sort of thing happened where I worked a number of years ago. Two women on a factory floor next to each other would talk in their native languages. The difference is that one was speaking Spanish and the other was speaking Arabic.
Amazing how people, when not forced, make things work is it not?
I’m going to develop a philosophy where people are forced to not force people. I haven’t fleshed it out yet but it’s the only way.
I don’t speak Michigander well, and my friends don’t know a lick of Californian, we we get by on Grunts and gestures,
People, left to their own, will always find a way to reach that common ground.
Weed, and disc
One time I went to an old-timey diner chain for dinner. I was by myself and I was seated right next to the kitchen door. I saw a bunch of cute little high school waitresses gathered around an old grizzled Mexican cook with a heavy accent. They moved a little and I saw that he was at a whiteboard doing algebraic equations and teaching the girls, who were all taking notes. I watched for a while till I guess the manager came back and barked at everybody. One of the waitresses was mine. I asked her what the deal was. The cook was a math teacher in Mexico, but came here and the only job he could get was as a short-order cook at Waid’s.
Wait…so you were at Oldman’s diner? And instead of a Mexican, it was a Jew and instead of Math it was anal sex?
Um … I hate to admit this, but I didn’t get the joke …
OMWC runs a diner. His schooling is NOT algebra.
*headdesk* Didn’t make the connection to OMWC.
Always here for ya, baby!
Thanks for the assist on the rimshot Tundra! Punks unite!
OMW call for Greta to give up ass sex and he working in a college town….obscure…I know…I was bored today damn it!
That is a lovely story, Mo.
He probably could’ve taught at a high school or middle school if he had attended Indoctrination 101 with a bunch of “educators” and learned to bend the knee to the Union.
I do that all the time with my language partner.
Frequently we do the reverse as speaking is harder than listening. The looks people gave us in Japan was priceless.
White guy speaking accented Japanese and Asian woman speaking accented English.
Will Diana Moon Glampers be putting the curriculum together?
“The era of judging 4-year-olds based on a single test is over,” de Blasio said in a statement. “Brilliant NYC will deliver accelerated instruction for tens of thousands of children, as opposed to a select few. Every New York City child deserves to reach their full potential, and this new, equitable model gives them that chance.”
Sure, Bill. They’ll all be above average when you get through with them.
What a steaming pile of horseshit.
All this will do is drive parents who care about their children’s education to the suburbs (faster).
That fucking racist commie can’t disappear in disgrace fast enough.
The city will also train all kindergarten teachers to provide accelerated learning in areas ranging from robotics and computer coding to community organizing.
Okey-doke.
OFFS. Training them to hate their parents, no doubt.
To report on them too.
It’s just mind-blowing. Does anybody not know what that shit is code for?! Are the parents here so beat down and ignorant that they just don’t care?
Two completely different views and yet…this is what a debate should look like.

Ben Shapiro vs. Ana Kasparian
But damn..Ben…take an Ambien or something. It’s like listening to a friend after sucking on helium gas from a balloon.
Sure…here. I meant to put this here. Go away!

Cast those muthafuckin lepers out!
I am going to my niece’s baby shower. I will not be discussing my vax status, my job, my anything other than getting ready to welcome a little ankle-biter into the world. Because that is what is important.
If any of my family does ask, I will just ignore and brush off and refocus to what is at hand. I will be a great uncle soon. Everything else can fuck off.
I am a great uncle x 5. It’s a pretty sweet gig.
Congrats!
I am stoked! I was blessed at a young age to be an uncle and being the youngest kid in the family, that gave me some…space to not be the youngest. But my nieces and nephew are just like my kids. I helped raise them since I was 10! Drove them to school, gymnastics practice, softball practice, played hockey with them…yeah…no one is keeping me from being there.
I’m going to develop a philosophy where people are forced to not force people. I haven’t fleshed it out yet but it’s the only way.
That trick never works.
It is becoming a bit like socialism. It will work this time!
I’ll post my manifesto here in a couple of weeks. Y’all are going to love it (or else).
Okay Ted
It’s just a collection of ramblings based on a Simpson’s episode, isn’t it?
You’re giving me way too much credit…think Spongebob.
Old Simpsons, or new Simpsons?

Champion generators and their customer support are awesome. I couldn’t find the engine vibration mounts on their parts site so I emailed them and they said…”We will send these out to you at no cost”.
Wow! I mean, its probably $5 bucks worth of parts, but that is how you do business.

Enough with the euphemisms….

Vegas is hiding it but a few local news reports have shown that ‘select high schoolers will get….” Highlighting that they are struggling with filling their busdriver roles. Then again, schools have done whole hog on anyone and everyone gets the bus.
If everyone gets the bus, their pregnancy rate must be sky high.
From the same site.

The covers were “defective” because it would seem they lacked a label that said don’t do dumb shit. Article is otherwise unclear if they really didn’t meet other more reasonable safety standards.
Uh….I wouldn’t be going after the manufacturer but after the coaches…but that is me. Or did I read the series of events wrong?
No you read it right. But if you are plaintiff attorney you go after the folks with the deepest pockets and weakest shield from liability.
The coaches are mostly immune assuming no criminal charges. The school district will pay.
Who says the French are not brave warriors?
Wrong Mask, Comrade!
Playing with fire. Somebody is going to mess with the wrong passenger some day soon.
That’s why in civilized countries, you take away people’s guns and instead give them free healthcare for only 60% of their income.
WUT?
I mean, talk about shovel ready jobs for the army they’ll need to enforce this.
However…

If people just wore a mask all of the time, it couldn’t happen anyway. SCIENCE!
Slow Joe is now so magical that he talks through his television.
