That’s all I got for today. I’ll leave you with a song and move along with my day.
Delta ditches vaccine mandate.
The Southwest strike must have worked. We are in a weird space where some companies feel like they have the go-ahead to do some fucked up shut but there’s no official government law or decree other than Biden’s say-so. Amazing how much disunity this feckless administration has wrought. Pretty soon we will all be united around Let’s Go Brandon.
But I thought Southwest was conservative, and Delta was liberal.
Weird.
Not really. In today’s world, if Southwest is conservative government would be far more likely to fuck them over for non compliance. Delta being liberal means their will be loopholes or a blind eye turned towards them for not complying…
Delta is just a variant of an airline.
I could be mis-remembering, but I thought that it was Delta that was charging each of its non-vaxxed employees $200/mo more in insurance in order to turn up the pressure.
Perhaps they’re willing to not “require” it because they already got rid of the malcontents or got a high enough compliance rate?
And that mandate is ostensibly the real one that applies to “federal contractors”.
This will get interesting.
Hmmm. Apocryphally, “may you live in interesting times” is known as the Chinese curse.
“Reconciliation bill includes $6 billion in taxes, fines and fees on oil and gas industry”
So what? Six of those platinum $1 trillion coins will be printed to pay for it so it cost $0 dollars?
Narrator: It’s not going to cost zero dollars.
I don’t make $400k or more a year, so it won’t cost me a thing. *fills up gas tank, drives to grocery store*
whaddup doh’
Dammit! I had resolved to never fly Delta again after being mistreated by them, and now they have to go and do something significantly better than their competitors…
Did you also resolve never to split infinitives?
/TedS
I don’t know the rule you are speaking of.
*narrows gaze*
I’ve got everyone trained!
[rubs palms in glee]
Better not start a farhr!
Pretending English needs to follow the rules of Latin is example N+1 of the result of making your intellectual caste out of younger sons sent off to the clergy to get them out of the way.
The split infinitive thing is Anglocentric bias. You’re required to split them in French. It often results in weirdly confusing phrasing to adhere to that silly rule.

Are you suggesting that I am a Silly English Kinnegit??!
“Despite using many DNC propaganda pollsters, RCP’s average polling has Biden approval in the low 40s.”
Anyone not pointing out we are living in Disasterworld and it is caused by the Obama administration’s corruption third run at fucking this country up and fundamentally changing it into a giant marxist shithole.
Obama was (and is) a despicable snotnoggin. Biden is a contemptible buffoon. But I think the problems started long before they arrived on the scene.
What an evil piece of legislation the “Patriot Act” is. We have vaccine mandates being promoted because I, and people like me, did not try to stop it’s passage. I had the idea that “my guys” were in charge, and wouldn’t do anything to hurt the country. “If you have nothing to hide, what are you afraid of?” *supercilious smile*
“Obama was (and is) a despicable snotnoggin. Biden is a contemptible buffoon. But I think the problems started long before they arrived on the scene.”
Never said otherwise. But nobody did as much to fast track things as Obama’s people did. The media did an excellent job on hiding how much downright criminal and evil shit was done. The plan was to hand the reigns to Hillary to complete the takeover in 2016, but then somehow that evil orange man won the election they had rigged for her, and then everyone went into overdrive trying to hide the fact our government bureaucracy had gone over the cliff into corruptocracy land, only making it more obvious to too many people for them to go back to just giving us the mushroom treatment (feeding people shit and keeping them in the dark).
They are no doubling down in the hope of salvaging the globalist sellout of the country in the face of a large section of the population now being aware of what they are doing and are feeling the urgency to complete their plan at all costs…
“But nobody did as much to fast track things as Obama’s people did.”
I dunno. The Patriot Act and surveillance really spun that record up to 78.
They were gateway drugs…
Idiot republicans thought the promises by “their team” not to abuse it would work. Then the other team promptly took to abusing the shit out of them as was predicted when they took over. They didn’t even wait a few decades, but went straight to it. I recall Clinton whining about how unfair it was he was not in charge when the fucking evil shits killed 3K people. I came to believe that he was pointing out that he was sad he couldn’t get that Patriot Act shit while he was in charge so they could immediately go to abusing that shit…
Yet all the aiders and abettors never imagine that they themselves will never be lined up against the wall.
A totalitarian regime can only have so many elites…
I would vote to acquit someone who used the “needed killin'” defense with that cop.
“College withheld exonerating evidence from student who went to prison for sexual assault”
This shit comes to us courtesy of the fundamental changes the Obama cuntes made to how these things were expected to be handled. At this point colleges are a detriment to any young males and straight women, even if you piss away the mountain of money it costs to go there now to get a degree that doesn’t only leave you barely qualified to work in fast food or coffee shop industry asking people what they want.
I already told my kids that they have to get a job in the real world before they go to college. Also, that a trade school to learn a craft is many times superior to a liberal arts degree from a well-known university. (A B.A. from someplace like Hillsdale College might be okay)
Pffft. You can’t convince me that the entire college system could be supported by lesbians, assuming they even exist.
It is already subsidized by government regulation. What do you think that nonsense about “free college” that all the marxists asshats all talk about is? They are not doing that to get more STEM, Economics, or medical field people, but to hell all the future baristas with “Studies” degrees.
Stem degrees are already cheap as hell if you’re smart, so usually those majors don’t graduate with a lot of debt anyway, unless they lived it up.
You’re fairly likely to get a scholarship, internship, etc.
Yeah, and an engineering degree from a state university mostly carries just as much earning potential as one from MIT, whereas a degree in public policy from Harvard gets you quite a bit more than one from, say, Clarion University.
“Cattle people are risk takers and they’re ready to take a risk,” Briggs said.
So the prices of beef is high at the supermarket but the ranchers are selling cattle at rock bottom prices to a small group of consolidated meat processors, huh? Well good for them. Hopefully this means I won’t have to eat the bugs.
If I had any gumption at all, I would seek out and try to apprentice myself to a butcher.
There’s a lot to know about carving up an animal. And there’s the business side to make yourself some profit. My baby-mama is 4th generation in the meat business (heh) which is why I call ‘Slaughterhouse Princess”.
Other Slaughterhouse.
A local butcher here (team of two brothers in their late 60s) closed last year because PA changed their inspection criteria and would no longer certify their relatively antique processing equipment as safe.
Seems a consortium of meat processing equipment manufacturers convinced the PA dept of agriculture (or whoever regulates that stuff) that the standards needed to be updated, and that the new standards should not include old equipment that didn’t have a particular stamp of approval. From what I understand, it was a long time family business and they were still using equipment from when their parents were in the business many decades ago. Their options were to purchase all new equipment or shut down. Since they were both near retirement age anyway, they elected to close the shop. They couldn’t even resell the equipment because no state will inspect it anymore.
AFAIK, there was never a single case of food related illness ever traced to their shop, but the state still shut them down because they couldn’t (wouldn’t ) comply with a paper edict that had little to do with actual food safety.
This makes me angry. Sad and angry. And hungry.
Sounds like CARB and auto accessories. It doesn’t matter what they do or if they even have an effect on emissions positive or negative, if they don’t have the CARB stamp of approval, they aren’t street legal.
small group of consolidated meat processors – free market failure?
I don’t know enough to say but if an independent group of ranchers can start a competitor the market hasn’t exactly failed.
If we had a market, the meatpacking operations wouldn’t be burdened with the federal, state and local regulations that favor the consolidated meat processors. Also, the consolidated processors make sure they keep their regulatory advantages by lobbying legislators and rotating through the corporate / regulatory agency revolving doors.
But we have those regulations, and so good luck to the ranchers.
True. It has not failed. This is a very encouraging sign! The cost of entry is “too damn high” though due to excessive regulations promoted to reduce competition.
A market failure aided and abetted by the Food and Drug Administration (not a market feature).
There were a few stories in the news last year of meat processing plants shutting down for a week or so at a time because the employees got sick or they had to implement social distanced work spaces which made things less efficient. When that happens, the ranchers are left holding their dicks with cattle that are aging out of prime market age, and left with the choice of continuing to pay to feed them or slaughter them and dump the meat, a lot of ranchers slaughtered their herds.
Cattle takes longer than pigs or chickens to reach market weight (18-24 months I believe). So the beef market is still recovering from the covid disruptions, and with how much uncertainty about when (if) things go back to normal, it’s hard to make projections 2 years in advance.
Doin’ right ain’t got no end
Two of the most conservative members of the Fed Board of Governors resigned last week after leftist Sen. Elizabeth Warren mounted a campaign accusing them of insider trading, at the perfect time for progressives to stack the board with more of their own kind.
Former Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers sounded the alarm last week when he blasted “a generation of central bankers who are defining themselves by their wokeness . . . They’re defining themselves by how socially concerned they are.”
He’s not wrong if a recent research paper from a Fed economist is any indication.
“The primary role of mainstream economics in our society is to provide an apologetics for a criminally oppressive, unsustainable, and unjust social order,” wrote Jeremy Rudd.
Employees of the Federal Reserve reportedly are being subjected to ideological training on “white fragility,” “unconscious bias,” “critical climate justice” and how to “decolonize the atmosphere.”
——-
Warren’s strike on the Fed’s board of governors comes as Biden weighs up whether to reappoint Powell when his four-year term is up in February.
Progressive Democrats like Bernie Sanders favor kindred-spirit Fed Governor Lael Brainard to take the top job. She has been showcasing her climate credentials lately, saying the United States needs to “catch up” on the European folly of using financial policy to force climate action.
She told a conference on banking supervision this month that financial regulators should direct the nation’s largest banks to take new measures to “appropriately measure, monitor and manage . . . climate-related risks” to the financial system.
In a world ruled by mumbo jumbo…
“Progressive Democrats like Bernie Sanders favor kindred-spirit Fed Governor Lael Brainard to take the top job.”
If only Lyndon LaRouche were still available.
Look, at the Fed, that isn’t all that much more absurd than the economics they actually believe in.

Thomas Massie has been trying to get the PRIME act going for over a year now. Good to see ranchers trying without government intervention (PRIME act is still good though).
Colin Powell has died. “Covid complications” despite being vaccinated – more to do with being 84.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10103527/Colin-Powell-84-dies-complications-COVID.html
Am I the only one that DGAF that that unprincipled liar died?
No.
If only a few more patriotic electors could have been found, he would have saved us from OMB!
He took the vaccine but he didn’t believe in it with enough liberal faith?
Not enough “Hail Fauci’s” were chanted.
Well we know it wasn’t radiation poisoning from yellowcake uranium.
He had dirt on Hillary.
Im pretty sure he was parodied in Undercover Brother.
Norm MacDonald had a good bit in which he questioned why no one ever dies of “old age” anymore.
No one has died from old age since February 2020. It is known.
Advances in medical SCIENCE!
Everyone was forced to get the old age vaccine.
They secretly put old age vaccine in every box of Mac-n-cheese, to capture those afraid of shots.
Yes. Being 84 used to be sufficient reason to drop dead.

He had multiple myeloma.
And Parkinson’s. Not exactly free of co-morbidities. But it’ll be “died from COVID”
So he has an idiot for a client?
I wonder if he approached (or has ever heard of) IJ?
Ugh. Judi got her first shot last week and eldest daughter just lost her job. I’m proud of her but she and Hubby are quite well off and she’d be more than happy to play gentlewoman farmer. All the same, she’s sticking to her guns. 14 years of Government job down the chute. That’s a fat pension. I’m still standing pat. My loss will be minimal.
There will be lawsuits eventually in the US, and if there is any justice all the people forcibly punished by the corruptocracy will make bank. Not sure if that will happen in Kanuckistan though… Your naked emperor won’t let that happen.
So, none of that will happen. It’s like you’ve never heard of qualified immunity.
You must not know the power of the lawyer lobby…
You mean Congress? Largest assemblage of lawyers around.
I am surprised one does not lose the pension for non vaccination
You misunderstand. Her pension is gone.
shit. I understood the opposite like at least still has the pension
She doesn’t have friends in high places like McCabe.
Acclaimed female crime author revealed to be the pseudonym of three men

LOL
I bet they wrote all sorts of dumb shit they laughed constantly about so they could please this crowd idiots that pretend to be the authority of what women should like…
Years ago, my friend and I were looking at the romance novels in the supermarket and laughing at the cover art. We concocted this scheme to each read a couple of these god-awful books, work out the formula, and then write some of our own under a female pseudonym to make money. I slogged through both of mine, but he welched on his obligation and never started them at all because he said “they were just too terrible”. Bastard. He ruined the whole enterprise.
Listening to Mojeaux over the years (man, has it really been years?), it’s harder than you think it is.
Oh I’m sure it is. I think we were 18 years old and also sorely lacking in anything ambitious or productive to do, so we always came up with ridiculous ideas like that.
Good luck with that. Less than a handful of men have been able to write women well.
Also, men write terrible sex scenes.
High fives
*nods knowingly*
Not enough use of “throbbing”, I’m sure.

Pete Buttigieg says he’s “not going to apologize to Tucker Carlson” for going on paternity leave from the Transportation Department to care for his adopted two children.
“As you might imagine, we’re bottle-feeding and doing it at all hours of the day and night,” the Transportation secretary said when asked to respond to remarks by Carlson on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
“And I’m not going to apologize to Tucker Carlson or anyone else for taking care of my premature newborn infant twins,” Buttigieg said to host Jake Tapper. “The work that we are doing is joyful, fulfilling, wonderful work. It’s important work, and it’s work that every American ought to be able to do when they welcome a new child into their family. I campaigned on that.”
Let’s all celebrate motherhood together. Send out another round of checks.
That sounds like it could get…sloppy.
The country will be better if he becomes a stay at home mom.
The country would be better if we all agreed that Paternity Leave is bullshit and any man who takes it should be completely scorned.
I remember the first guy I knew who took paternity leave. Like Pete, his was also for an adoption. The reaction from everyone in the office was absolute disbelief and derision. The guy wasn’t an A player and wasn’t on track to climb to the upper rungs of the corporate ladder, but that move absolutely crushed his career.
Yeah, no. I’m glad I did and I don’t really give a shit what some knuckleheads might think about.
There is room for paternity leave is good and should be offered (not mandated!) to employees for probably about two weeks (IMO). Your wife did just blast a baby out of her (or worse, had it cut out) and might not be feeling like herself. It’s manly to take care of her.
A cabinet member who has been on the job for less than 6 months getting 2 months off is where most people object. It’s not even about adoption vs. actual birth, it’s are you an important person with an important job we’re supposed to take seriously or not?
It’s the federal government so therefore it is not an important person or job. We shouldn’t take Pete or being Transportation Dept Secretary seriously.
Well, someone has to untie the knot that idiotic gov’t action tied.
We all know it is a perpetual motion machine, but if the right hand doesn’t undo the work of the left, we are stuck with this particular set of problems.
He was well qualified at least.
I may have been a bit hyperbolic, but I still think that it is a bad idea to take weeks off from your job for any reason. All you are doing is proving to your employer that you aren’t really a vital cog in The Machine.
When my kids were born, I took a few days off to help the wife. After a week though she was up and ready to go. I was just underfoot. And don’t get me started on how much of a disaster my mom’s “help” was.
All you are doing is proving to your employer that you aren’t really a vital cog in The Machine.
I have never aspired to be a vital cog in The Machine. My dad taught me early in work – if you can’t be replaced, you can’t be promoted. I think it’s pretty damn sad that so many of us are so suckered into The Career as the defining aspect of our lives.
+1
*types out response from the lazy life of paternity leave*
I’d much rather them pay me more and ditch the leave, but I’m not gonna pass on a benefit that is paid in lieu of additional salary.
My wife had a C section and needed help with a lot of things after our son was born. Even if it was an easier birth, I’m happy I got to spend a bunch of time with my son as a newborn. You don’t get that time back, and I’m glad I spent it with him and not at work. And I’m also glad I don’t give a shit about what people like you think of me.
Even then. We’d all be better off if our entire government adopted babies and went on paternity/maternity leave.
I took two weeks off for paternity leave and it was the best decision because my wife had some bad postpartum. My team knew I was going to take two weeks off before my leave so I trained them to take on my tasks and split it among two people
Megacorp provide paternity leave. It’s about half as long as maternity leave.
Two guys have taken advantage of it in my group in the last couple of years. Both took two or three weeks off at the time of birth and then a couple of weeks off a couple of months later.
Seems weird to me. But it hasn’t been catastrophic for the teams.
His payoff for helping torpedo Bernie in the primaries. He ,worked” for a couple months then went out on permanent maternity leave.
Why doesn’t Biden reward Special-K too? Us Minnesodans would love to see her leave for DC permanently!
(I suspect that she’s too smart to want to be part of a Biden administration.)
I was hoping that we’d be rid of Governor Wolf in PA via a promotion to the federal level, but it was not to be.
Careful what you guys wish for. We got rid of Cuomo and his replacement is even worse.
Infidel! How dare you defy the will of God!
Over/Even odds that mayor Pete has them suckling at his dry little teats. He’s a tricksy little twink!
It is so sad that poor Pete was forced at gunpoint to take that job at Transportation. All he wanted to do was go adopt two kids, but those meanies said he had to be a cabinet member.
Sarcasm aside, it would be nice to have a journalo who actually asked questions like: who did you designate to take over your duties while you were on leave? What sort of plans were put in place while you were on leave?
Imagine if he had become president.
Same as Biden administration? Except with less crazy videos of President mumbling crazy words.
You can’t pretend that we have a President now who is involved in day to day operations.
CRAZY TALK!
What if the temp guy ended up showing up Pete? No fucking way you do anything that does something that dangerous!
If he were a woman he could juggle a career and children no problem. That’s what I learned from 80s sitcoms, anyway.
Yeah, but he would forced to hire a very slow house painter who would then morph into a child-care specialist and finally a will they-won’t they relationship.
^^^ Nice!
I remember watching that show but, in retrospect, I suspect that’s only because there was nothing else on. Even reading that I’m thinking, “that sounds terrible”.
*looks up house-painters on craigslist*
True…we got emails from “Pete” over the past few months, giving an air that he was working.
Being on zoom calls with Toobin Toobin is not work…
I really struggle to give half a shit about this particular kerfuffle. It reminds me of the “playing golf” counter the media pulls out when they want the president to do something.
Pretty much. This is the socon wing shooting themselves in the dick (again.)
A competent executive leader running a functional organization, should be able to take two months off whenever he wants to, with no appreciable impact on the organization performance. Not that anyone would mistake Petey for a competent executive…
They really don’t fucking get it. Look, motherhood is a full-time job, and women who didn’t have children got ahead of those who took maternity leave. But if you want to run a major fed agency, that is two or three full-time jobs at least, and fucking around bottle feeding snot factories is no way to run shit. There is a reason rich women used to have wet nurses, and that wasn’t even to work! No shit things are falling to shit, and lo-and-behold it often stems directly from left/liberal policy bullshit.
The little fuckstick cannot tell that he needs a stay-at-home husband/wife for kid raising, he doesn’t belong in the catbird seat. But then again, we already knew that as the turd failed at running a city. The job was supposed to be easy, a giveaway for dropping out of the race, but this shit takes work. Fucking retard.
Yeah, used to be, being a cabinet secretary was a chewed up, spit out position. A lot didn’t make it more than a couple years, let alone a full term or two. Now we have Buttglug taking extended vacation time. Nice, but paternity/maternity leave shouldn’t be available to cabinet level positions. Can’t discharge the duties of your office? Resign.

I think Taki is still alive. He still is the listed author for “the week that was”. I don’t know how I ended up reading racist uncle taki’s magazine. But when I first found it it felt every bit as scandalous as a preteen with a nudie mag. Lurid and engrossing. I sometimes wonder how they evade the mainstream hate machine and keep doing their thing.

In that sense, it is responsive to the public will.

If you want a good laugh, there is a new documentary on the Steele Report where George Stephanopoulos interviews Christopher Steele, the author of the Steele Report. Sneak preview, Steele still thinks his report is mostly accurate. Anybody who retracts what they said before did so because they are scared.
It’s a travesty such a blatant piece of defensive propaganda to convince the morons that still have not registered how fucking corrupt and evil this plot was can be labeled a “documentary”. And this asshat George was one of the main peddlers of these Russia collusion lies, so I am not surprised he is desperately trying to get ahead of the revelations of the fact that the media knew they were peddling a lie for the kakistocracy.
Nice use of kakistocracy! Although I’m not sure our imbeciles are smart enough to count as a kakistocracy.
Stephanopoulos worked for the Clinton administration and according to Wikipedia served as the “de-facto press secretary”. Why anyone believes he is impartial in any way is beyond me.
The mandarinate sure as hell believes he is important in their efforts to keep the moronic idiots of the tribe on the right page (believing they are not being played like a hillbilly banjo with a pretty mouth).

I’ve seen some clips. Based off of those, George wasn’t completely incompetent. He asked some challenging questions.

Vienna museums open adult-only OnlyFans account to display nudes
Tourist board in Austrian capital rails against censorship of art on social media platforms
https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2021/oct/16/vienna-museums-open-adult-only-onlyfans-account-to-display-nudesVienna’s tourism board has started an account on OnlyFans – the only social network that permits depictions of nudity – in protest against platforms’ ongoing censorship of its art museums and galleries.
In July, the Albertina Museum’s new TikTok account was suspended and then blocked for showing works by the Japanese photographer Nobuyoshi Araki that showed an obscured female breast, forcing the museum to start a new account. This followed a similar incident in 2019, when Instagram ruled that a painting by Peter Paul Rubens violated the platform’s community standards which prohibit any depictions of nudity – even those that are “artistic or creative in nature”.
In 2018, the Natural History Museum’s photograph of the 25,000-year-old Venus of Willendorf figurine was deemed pornographic by Facebook and removed from the platform.

WHAT? How did this happen? Keystone pipeline was shut down. Doesn’t that mean that all that nasty oil will just be left in the ground?
Well the good news is that I’m sure any oil spills from derailments in Minneapolis will be easily handled by the super competent City Council.
That pipeline was killed so the oil-by-train venture run by the Buffet cabal could keep raking in the cash and donating to the environmental tard programs… The fact that it is more environmentally destructive be damned. But you can tell the average environut all sorts of idiotic lies and they eat it up like it is cock.
Legit lol, thanks, I needed that.
Are the trains at least solar powered?
It could be an intensely peaceful night if they held those trains overnight in Minneapolis.
125 car trains leaving west from our rail yard daily. Wonder where that oil is going after it reaches the port of Prince Rupert? The spice must flow.
I will take 125 cars of oil over the daily New York trash train. At least the oil is useful.
The good news for me is that I own a small chunk of a company that makes gaskets for oil tanker rail cars. Still, Fuck Joe Biden.
Wouldn’t you think it could reduce carbon emissions if you built a pipeline instead of constantly running tanker cars from point A to point B?
The total non-acceptance of any trade-offs with regards to the environment is why I don’t trust these types. They truly are “watermelons” as Suthenboy says – green on the outside, red on the inside.

Comedian Jon Stewart reflected on the state of American politics on Sunday, warning that although the country’s democratic system is under threat, Americans “still have time” to preserve it.
“It’s bracing sometimes to hear the reality of people’s lives in other countries as — it’s not to say that warning signs don’t exist or bells aren’t going off or that democracy is a birth right and it is something that will be always be with us as as a kind of sash that we wear, having been crowned the greatest democracy,” Stewart told CNN’s Jake Tapper on “State of the Union” while discussing an interview from his new Apple TV+ series, “The Problem With Jon Stewart.”
He continued: “But it did remind us that we have a long way to go before we end up in those situations. And it’s kind of like, you know, watching a fable where you realize — like maybe the end of ‘A Christmas Story’ — where you’re like, ‘what day is it? It’s Christmas Day. Oh, my God that’s great, I still have time.’ Like we still have time.”
“But I think we see now that unfortunately the messiness of democracy is oftentimes maybe one of its greatest weak points,” Stewart said, adding later that it’s encouraging to see “on a grassroots level people that are really viewing it as something that they want to protect and that they want to strengthen.”
All my space-alien-to-pidgin-English translator can make of that is, “Gooble gobble, gooble gobble, one of us. One of us!”
Clown nose off, clown nose on.

I don’t actually recall that.
I do but it was over two decades ago and I got better.
Half Baked and Big Daddy are probably the only thing I can tolerate with him in it because he has like 15 lines.
The daily show ended with the departures of Craig Kilbourne and Liz Winstead.
He and Maher put the “sanity mask” on and then tear it away the next instant.
Change “protect” and “strengthen” in the last sentence to “use to protect Democratic politicians” and “fortify”; and that duckspeaker gabbling becomes translated into something accurate.
If I may do a Maher-style “New Rule”: If you cheered while state governments completely sidestepped their legislatures to implement COVID rules by edict and handed authority to unelected “public health” officials, you don’t get to complain about democracy being in danger.

I may be a Strong Independent Woman™️, but I kinda need someone to come take the trash out after hearing a varmint rooting around in there last night. Kthx.
set it on fire and then whatever is there will go away
It’s just a stupid trash panda. They are harmless. Throw a shoe at it.
shoes are expensive and one could be lost.
If there were a trash panda under the sink rooting around I would FREAK THE FUCK OUT. Also, it probably would have been able to open the cabinet door, which didn’t happen.
So mutated giant rats?
OK I did it. WHEW! I will not be using the indoor trash the rest of the week. Hearing those cans rattling around last night just as I was relaxing in front of the fire was not how I imagined my week away.

Ma che bel’ cullo che hai!
Basta! Basta cozzi, Stronzo!
Morning, Glibs. It’s been a while.
Last week my employer informed everyone that we must submit proof of vaccination before we will be allowed to enter the office. This is no problem for me since I was vaccinated early this summer. What’s got me rankled, however, is the method by which we must submit copies of our vaccination cards. It’s being done through an online portal set up by our payroll service provider. Is it just me, or does this seem like it’s a huge moral hazard? I would like to think that our health insurance provider would be a much more appropriate party to this.
You should ask what precautions were taken to make sure they didn’t violate HIPAA…
What I’d like to know is what other covid risks are being accounted for. If I contract it, I can easily isolate myself while I deal with mild symptoms for a few days. An obese person that contracts it even while vaccinated is likely to have much more severe symptoms and higher viral load leading to hospitalization. This will require an entire team just to roll their fat ass out to the ambulance, invariably exposing a number of people to the virus. Height, weight, age and BMI should all be submitted along with the vax cards. I don’t think anyone wants to have this conversation though, because there are a lot of fat fucks at my work.
That’s why they’re not using the health plan. HIPAA doesn’t apply.
It’s sensitive medical information. Why would HIPAA not apply?
Because they are employers, not providers.
My employer has to guard my medical information even the stuff they collect outside whatever medical coverage they provide…
Not as much as you think. Most/all provisions of HIPAA don’t apply (unless perhaps your employer is also your medical insurance or healthcare provider), what’s does is ADA, OSHA, state labor laws, or a general privacy rights. Offering medical insurance does not turn them into a covered provider.
Finding this out the hard way.
And when the relevant agencies say they won’t enforce gray areas against employers who are asking for covid related information, you’re further fucked from recourse.
HIPAA doesn’t apply to employers.
-Biden caught maskless inside upscale DC restaurant in violation of indoor mask mandate
As Mel Brooks said, it’s good to be the King.
Good for him. Mask rules are bullshit. I went to a trendy brunch place with my new squeeze yesterday. A few people hovering around the hostess wore masks but no one inside did, not even the employees. I had a banging eggs benedict. And yeah I’m just bragging.
I’m going to have to disagree with you there. If you’re in a position of power and you’re advocating for and enforcing mask mandates your muzzle better damn well be in one of those stupid things or else you’re going to catch deserved criticism.
Amen.
Exactly. If there’s a good reason to have a rule, it should be universally applied. If it’s not universally applied, there’s no good reason for it.
Fair, but I’m not the one who’s going to level the criticism. I’m just not going to mask. We went to a few shops after brunch. One of them had clear signage asking all customers to wear masks. I simply chose not to enter that shop.
I yearn for a return to a time without this insanity but I’m beyond the point where I can keep mustering outrage for it.
You’ll probably be dead of the Chicomvirus by next week. Doctors Fauci and Jill warned you.
I think it was here that I read a different story on maskless Biden yesterday (?).
The situation is even worse: apparently the DC mask mandate has a provision that explicitly excludes politicians performing their duties. Biden could just claim it was a working dinner.
It does, and that alone makes the whole thing Bullshit. If you thing these fucking things work, and that we all need to wear them, then you better pony up and be the first to ride through the breach.
Especially if you’re the most important person in the country (MIPITC), you would think that you should protect yourself.
We know the supply chain is broken but has anyone alive or in a position of power ever “fixed” a supply chain? Like do they even know what’s broken or how to fix it? It seems like they don’t. It really seems like no one is in charge and no one knows what they’re talking about.
I assume Biden will handle the supply chain with as much acumen and expertise as he’s handled Afghanistan, the border and the Kung Flu.
Hide in the basement while assigning everyone else to handle it and then ride the media dick to sweet release?
Vaccine mandates will fix it, followed by fines for not making your government imposed quota.
It’s actually orders of magnitude worse than having no one in charge. The Biden admin is packed to the gills with ideologues that have only ever worked in government, and none of them have any actual experience in real world logistics.
Yeah, they’ll make it worse.
Hah! Formatting fail.
*raises invisible hand…*
You are asking the wrong question. We keep doing that. Your first question should be “Why is the fucking thing broken”. Then you should research the government connection.
The main benefit of government is the ability to break and/or seriously fuck shit up so you can then swoop in promising to fix it. Of course, you never fix shit, cause the intent is to keep the new racket to rob tax payers blind growing and growing.
Fuck, it isn’t like the govt created those supply chains in the first place. You are right, when it comes to supply chains no one really does understand everything and no one is in charge of anything.
The truth of the matter is that it doesn’t take much to disrupt them. I worked at a company where some flooding at a supplier in Thailand completely fucked our ability to deliver products for a year.
When things work, everyone runs as lean as they can. Why pay for warehousing goods when you can get just the right amount at the right time? Works awesome when things are smooth.
This was one of the things that infuriated me so much at the beginning of the pandemic. The “educated elite” who were locking things down had no idea how global supply chains worked. They thought it was like a light switch. You could just flick it off and then on and that was it.
no one really does understand everything and no one is in charge of anything
Say it ain’t so!
Supply chains are emergent orders. No one or one organization is (or should be) in complete control of a supply chain.
I think we just want them to stop breaking it.
“He’s black and his accuser is white”
So that means the case might actually get traction. Sadly, it shouldn’t matter but the more weapons that can be used against those kangaroo courts the better.

We’ve got our best men on it. Working around the clock.
And therein lies the problem.
As already noted above, no one is in charge of the supply chains (supply webs is more accurate), no one understands how they work (beyond a trifling few who understand energetic order in complex systems), and no one could possibly manage them, despite the illusions, delusions, and pretensions of that vast majority who do not comprehend emergent order in emergent complex systems.
How many times must we teach you this lesson, old man? Top down economic controls do not work!
My impression is that while few grasp the complexity of the supply webs and nobody is in charge of them, you _can_ screw them up via regulation.
???
Getting out of the way is the only real option.
Of course, that’s not an option that exists in their book.
My belief is that regulation can only screw them up.
Honest question: do you think if the world was mostly libertarian, a better treatment would have been known for the virus?
If the world were mostly libertarian, many better treatments would have been known for the virus.
If the world was mostly libertarian, the virus wouldn’t exist.
If a libertarian had invented the virus he’d own the IP on the cure and only provide it to the rich. Duh. It would rid the world of billions of poors and we’d all laugh, eat caviar and drink champagne.
“we’d all laugh, eat caviar and drink champagne.”
Actually, Glibs in a libertarian world would play the part of social democrats in the communist world. That is to say, we’d become the orphans laboring in the monocle mines.

Or maybe he’s actually gay?
Has it occurred to him his wife is too fat?
Now just hold up there…..
Whiskey dick? Or is she fugly? I would ask if he maybe is gay and not admitting it to himself, but that’s not an acceptable question to make these days I have been told…
To be fair, being a closted twink newlywed to a horny landwhale would give anyone anxiety.
27 and can’t get an erection? Sounds like we have a lack of testosterone epidemic.
He needs some TRT right into the ass.
Did they wait til marriage to start fucking? Has he had sex with other women and stayed hard? Other men?
He really buried all the ledes if he wants useful advice.
Yeah. Will respect to the devout Glibs, if you’re twenty-somethings who aren’t banging before deciding to get married the chance of there being “issues” wrt sex are higher than normal.
He really buried all the ledes
Isn’t more like he isn’t burying it that is the problem?
That’s a pickle of a problem.
Good morning to some of my favorite folks! I’m back from by hockey tournament in San Antonio. We went 2-2 and I got my first official A Team goal. So not a bad weekend. I was very tempted to put things of Facebook, but I successfully resisted. Instead I kept a small journal which I will use to write an article for here. Because Glibs >>>> Facebook.
I pity the fool who doesn’t congratulate you bigly on your first A Team goal!
That’s right sucka!
Congrats on your first A Team goal. Bet it felt sweet.
Congrats TOK!
That’s great news on the first A goal! Congratulations.
Nice job, Kevin! Bar down, I assume.
Looking forward to reading about your exploits!
Nope, it was a pass from behind the net from one of our Olympic guys, and I one-timed it right in. He and I had done that 100 times in our scrimmages this past year. I had probably 10-12 good shots this weekend but damn those goalies are good.
Moving day. I haven’t done this in 16 years, and I feel lost and disjointed. The cats know something’s going down. This is a GOOD thing but it’s still distressing.
Change is always annoying Mojeaux, but sometimes you need to make the annoying happen to get to a better place..

Good morning, Banjos!
interesting story about the ranchers. One thing missing from the article is the discussion of the government’s role in creating the situation. Massie has been trying to pass the PRIME act to enable smaller, local slaughterhouses. But of course something that limits government power will never get traction.
Excellent song choice this morning! A little Social D seems appropriate for a Monday.
I hope y’all have a groovy day!
The situation is even worse: apparently the DC mask mandate has a provision that explicitly excludes politicians performing their duties. Biden could just claim it was a working dinner.
The President of the United States is ALWAYS on the clock.
Are the ChiComms paying him enough for that kind of work commitment?
This is how we know that people, in general, want a class of people lording over them. They are okay with these exclusions. Police get different treatment and special laws, politicians get exclusions from laws, etc etc.
We are not a liberty minded people.
Think of all the poor shops around that restaurant. You know that they were all shut down by the Secret Service for “security” reasons.
I’m sure the one restaurant got reimbursed by
Bidentaxpayers, but what about the others?Really, if our leaders are so important that everything in a 1 mile radius needs to be shut down, then they should only be allowed out of the White House for National Security reasons.
I’m not heartless, they wouldn’t be prisoners. They could leave, but the Secret Service wouldn’t shut down shit for them if they did. Maybe send one agent along with them.
Dragging over something that might be better suited to the forums:
Yesterday I shot a match that had what might be the most brutal classifier ever.
Start off sitting in a chair with a loaded and holstered gun, hands on knees. On the beep, stand, draw, walk into the shooting box, put two into a target mostly covered by a non-shoot. Reload, put two more into each of two targets. Only two shots per target are allowed. So there is standing, moving, drawing, reloading and three double taps. A GM shooter will (if each shot is put into the target’s A zone) complete it in 4.34 seconds. Faster if any of the shots aren’t perfect.
Something that makes these classifier scores more bonkers than they’d otherwise be is that if you fuck them up badly enough, they don’t count against you. So people can just go balls out on them. We had four shooters wind up scoring zero because of the no-shoot.
The start should be in a rocking chair with the gun on a table next to the chair. You also start with a drink in your weak hand.
That’s more of a shotgun stage than a pistol one.
I think I see the problem…
The chair is less tan a foot away form the shooting box, I should have said “step.” Surely you need your feet to move more than once to differentiate between walking and running?
I was just kidding. But I’d totally make it a “leap.”
I will blame the muddy conditions yesterday for my poor time.
So you aren’t German then?
Morning all.
Got presented with an entertaining shitty neighbor story this weekend.
Friend of the wife inherited a property from her boyfriend. Her boyfriend had a gentleman’s agreement with the neighbor that allowed him to use his driveway in return for 50% of the maintenance costs on the driveway. The wife’s friend is prepping the property for sale and asked for money to fix the driveway. He argued with her and offered 20%. She relented and took the check but then he stopped payment on it. Afterwards he called her a dumb bitch as well.
She asked me for advice. I asked if he had a permanent easement for right-of-way and she said “I don’t believe so.”
I then cackled like a maniac. The opportunity to get even with an asshole of that sort was just too amusing for me right now.
She’ll have to do a title search to make sure, but putting a fence and no trespassing signs up at the entrance to his property when he’s locked in on all sides by other owners is just going to be too much fun for one person to have.
The best way to punish evil idiots is to make them eat the shit they flung at ya…
Good lesson here. He would have gotten away with the 20% if he wasn’t a dick about it. Now he has to suffer.
My hometown is full of cabins on lakes. Most of them were small little shacks that people came up to on weekends in the summer. In the last 15 years people have been knocking down the shacks and building real homes on it. This causes problems because the lots were all small and the shacks were crowded together. So with real homes popping up the crowding has gotten worse.
Your situation reminds me of a story that all the locals were chuckling about. Two old timers shared a driveway to their cabins. Owner A died and the family sold the cabin to a rich guy from the Twin Cities who promptly built a big house and a huge 3 bay pole barn to store all his boats, snowmobiles and jet skis.
Unfortunately for him, the driveway to the pole barn was owned by Owner B (the old timer with a small cabin). The New Guy found that he now had no access to his pole barn. His first plan was to tear two sides off and move the doors to the other side. Only to find out that Owner C on the other side had put up a fence that pretty much made it impossible to back trailers into the pole barn.
End to the long story is that the guy ended up having to rent storage space to keep his toys. It didn’t help his cause that he tried to get the County Commissioners to give him some sort of easement after the fact. His whining only made the locals even happier about his predicament.
*Mr. Burns* Excellent.
Yeah, if you buy a piece of property and don’t have a disclosure on the easements, you are a fool.
Before putting up the fence they should also check the state’s laws on adverse possession. If the agreement (since it sounds informal) had been in place for a certain amount of time the neighbor may have acquired a de facto easement and may be able to sue for access (again, depending on the laws of the area). Having to deal with a lawsuit that results in further encumbrances to a property may not be worth the lost repair costs.
Not adverse possession, if you had an ongoing agreement.
Thanks for the heads up.
It appears that Virginia adverse possession laws only apply if you’ve been inhabiting and paying property taxes on the land for fifteen years.
This column about “consent” is bad but the comments are depressing because only one person disagreed even a little.
Local columnist gushes about local dad’s tweet about importance of consent. The Tweet:
The incident seems a bit out of “Shit that didn’t happen”:
Sounds like a 3-year-old
I’ll take “Shit That Didn’t Happen” for $1,000, Alex.
Nothing says “normally adjusted adult man” like a guy who likes to ingratiate himself with teenage girls while teaching the boys a lesson.
Bonus advice from the woke columnist:
LOL, I reserve the right to blow raspberries on my son’s tummy regardless of his age or protestations.
Also, if you actually stop, most kids will complain.
Sometimes no means yes, sorry idiots.
So if kids can opt out from kisses from grandma, can they also opt out of eating their vegetables, cleaning their room, going to school, getting shots? What’s the limiting principle here?
Dad’s a dipshit who’s raising three daughters who will hector their husbands to death.
He’s doing potential suitors a service by explicitly pointing it out in public.
When you’re looking for a potential mate, always get to know the parents and grandparents–they’re extremely good predictors of behavior and looks later in life.
^^^THIS^^^
Surely don’t teach compromise and instill into your daughters that you are masters of the universe. Im also taking “Shit that didn’t happen” for $1000
You guys are looking at it wrong.
He’s being super helpful to the young buck. He’s telling him how to get into her pants.
The woke chicks here the Consent Whistle. I hear “dude, listen to her. Watch some dumb rom-com and you’ll be in her panties by midnight”.
I didn’t see where the girl suggested a rom com.
He also didn’t explicitly say “panties”. I took a few liberties with the paraphrasing.
Adam Sandler? She shouldn’t compromise. He can watch that with his friends. His insistence is a power play to make her do what he wants.
Am I the only one who thinks the dad’s biggest mistake was posting about it like he’s the best dad in the world for what he did?
Seems like generally good advice that if someone tells you “no” three times you should listen. Yeah, I guess switching gears to some sort of compromise is fine too, but I don’t think “hey dude, try listening” is terrible advice.
Thank you
The overarching advice is good no doubt, but the story surrounding it is not so much.
Now something like “Hey dickbeater, she doesn’t want to watch an Adam Sandler movie, think of something else” while walking around with your 45 or shotgun gets the point across clearer.
Dad is the one who put Teach about consent any chance you get into his tweet.
Agree that “try listening” isn’t bad advice. But arguing about what movie to watch has jack squat to do with consent.
Small lessons add up, I’d say.
Agreed that his social signaling is stupid, but I’m pretty confident that teaching a young man to heed “no” for smaller things has a bigger impact. It’s not like dad’s going to be there to teach him to listen to “no” when things are getting hot and heavy.
Drawing an equivalence between arguing over a movie and having sex is setting up the stakes for every future negotiation the girls might have.
If he had just said “You’re outvoted, get over it.” it would have been fine. But nope, like every other virtue signaling woke asshole, he had to extrapolate the tiniest of things into a commentary on the entire culture and pigeonhole the boy into a caricature of the “patriarchy.”
He did that with his bullshit virtue signaling, which we all agree is stupid. I suppose he should have just sat around and let the young man hector his daughter about some stupid movie?
How about “son, she said no. You’ve got to learn to listen. Try finding a compromise.”
That better?
Not sure why respecting when a woman, or any person really, says “no” is controversial except to conduct our own virtue signaling about how anti-woke we are.
The preening “I used my dad voice” nonsense is what makes it risible, not the underlying advice.
I object because 90% of the article is implying the sexual consent issue.
He’s not trying to teach respectful conduct in general, he’s trying to teach the concept of sexual consent using an argument over a movie. Is every male-female argument going to really be about sexual consent now? He even references little kids chasing each other around the playground as setting the stage for future sexual assaults.
What if two girls and the one boy didn’t want to watch the movie and one girl did and insisted? Should that be extrapolated into a discussion about sexual consent too?
I’ve got no issue with him shutting down the boy when he’s being obnoxious. I’ve got an issue with making an example out of him like he’s a budding rapist.
That is an excellent point.
*adds to Scruffy’s daily point total*
Okay but the points don’t matter and the rules are made up, right? Stupid scruffy always wins. Harumph.
This being a libertarian site, filled with bloodthirsty capitalists, points may be purchased.
I’m pretty sure I said the same thing.
Does that mean the arguing is over?
Isn’t that a violation of libertarian first principles?
Does that mean the arguing is over?
No, it isn’t.
^this.
It’s also very odd that a 17 year old girl would need her father’s intervention over something as mundane as a movie selection. Can she not speak for herself?
It _is_ amusing we’ve posted this many comments on something that definitely didn’t actually happen.
Yup. I was thinking the only proper response from the boyfriend would be, “Hey, no problem. See you, babe. I’m going to go watch Waterboy. If you have a problem with not having a date tonight, take it up with your dad.”
Words = violence. Adam Sandler = rape.
To be fair he does rape comedy more often than not.
AWESOM-O 4000 disagrees with you….
Seriously. If the words “I like Adam Sandler” come out of my date’s mouth, I’m heading for ze hills.
Yeah, that’s not a recipe for an enjoyable evening for me, either.
The RLM fisking of Jack & Jill is well worth watching though.

Meh, the dude was a dick about hounding his daughter to watch a movie she’s not interested in. My daughter trusts my movie tastes. If I say “You should watch this,” she will. Eventually. He’s probably hounded her in the past to watch movies she didn’t like and didn’t want to be subjected to another one.
So this asshole who wants his daughter to watch a movie she’s clearly not interested in because she doesn’t like Adam Sandler movies is raising 3 daughters who are being trained to do what their men say or be forever hounded and heckled over it.
tl;dr Dad’s a dick
Dad’s a dipshit who’s raising three daughters who will hector their husbands to death.
All take, and no give. The key to a happy and fulfilling life.
Women today wonder why they can’t get a quality guy… I meet these young spoiled women that think they always need to get their way when my son takes them out, and they are pissed when he dumps them quickly after they show their horrible behavior… You are not doing any women a favor when you teach them they always should get their way…

Police say bystanders “should’ve intervened” as woman was raped on Philadelphia train
I think the state has made it clear on many occasions what happens when “regular” people intervene. Either by actively trying to prosecute them for intervening or failing to protect the people who tried to do the right thing and intervene. And yet they are surprised when things like this happen.
This is how you get Boondock Saints.
Just don’t do whatever it is that leads to Boondock Saints II. The world can’t take that let down right now.
Or the let down that they would fashion rope out of bedsheets in the prison and kill every mother fucker in Boondock Saints III
Now do the responsibility of the police to intervene.
I think you’ll find that they do not believe they have one.
Shhh. They are all just like Officer Friendly.
Not just when bystanders do intervene, but the cops have telling the press for years not to get involved in hindering criminal activity.
Why?
I bet you intervene and the law goes after your ass for doing that.
I would seriously doubt about helping anyone in a big liberal city if I see a crime being committed, not because I hate liberals, because I suspect the machine would see me as the criminal for stopping someone they consider to be a victim (the criminal, not the criminal’s victim if you are unclear who the corruptocrats always feel are the victim).
So apparently Facebook considers the following a violation of their discrimination policy in a job ad.
“***** Co values your medical privacy. No mandates.”
So no Delta Airline posts?
Right wing Fascist!
The house of cards is collapsing as we speak. That policy will quietly vanish eventually.
OK, so we will mandate that employees don’t tell us their status.
Sigh. Can Journalos do even basic fact checking?
Local station regurgitates Minnesoda’s yearly scare story about boat fatalities.
Curious (because they never gave any other info) I pulled up the DNR’s own stats on boating deaths to see what the average was and how far 17 deaths was above the average.
Stats only go to 2015, but that hear had 18 boating deaths. So I’m not sure how 17 deaths is the worst in 16 years. Do the journalos not even do any fact checking? (In case you were wondering the avg deaths since 2005 is 14.4).
A good reminder that most journolos these days are 23 year olds who know almost nothing.
+1 college degree in journalisming
Looking at that, boating fatalities since 61…18 seems below average.
It is interesting how many more there were back in the day. I’m sure that the DNR would say it was because they mandated life jackets in every boat.
I’m wondering how much the fact that people used to be commercial fishermen or that weather forecasts (and radar on your smart phone) got so much better are reasons for the reductions in death.
And that it’s way easier to call for help if you need it.
And (related) that it’s way less likely these days that somebody will be out boating without somebody else really knowing where they are, when they’ll be back, etc. Used to be totally normal to be incommunicado for a normal day or weekend out. Now it’s not.
Reduction in drunk boating like the reduction in drunk driving?

We can’t have vigilantism. Leave it to the trained professionals.

Major CF at WMATA
Metrorail pulled so many cars for safety reasons following a derailment that they will only run 6-car trains at 30-minute intervals systemwide.
Which means 1 hour intervals in WMATA speak.
Soccer update: Steward Scores A Goal With Dildo In Lincoln City Vs Charlton Athletic Game
Weirder? Soccer fan throwing dildo on field or College Football fan throwing bottle of mustard on the field?
https://twitter.com/Frenchs/status/1449737653881131008
I would assume that the football concession had mustard available. Whats going on at that match that they have…oh, never mind.
Bottles? Not just squeeze packets?
I dunno. Tailgating ?
I have seen some comments that Tennessee might actually have the plastic squeeze bottles at their condiment stands. But still, someone stole one and had it at their seat to throw in a moment of anger.
But you know, Vols gonna Vol.
So apparently Facebook considers the following a violation of their discrimination policy in a job ad.

C’mon. You might as well put “NO SHEEPLE” in the ad. If that’s not discriminatory, what is?
What will these bigots post next? We hire and promote on merit?
We chose the right church when we moved to the FtC area (I will continue to refuse to use the FoCo abbreviation). The pastor’s wife was giving my wife beer recommendations after church yesterday and the associate pastor owns a craft distillery as his side gig.
Che Guevara inspired Foco?
SEC shorts is hit or miss, usually good, but sometimes great.

Brian Laundrie lookalike claims he was ambushed by US Marshals on Appalachian Trail
On the plus side it would appear the lodge got a busted down door for being a do gooder.
Great, nice new opportunity for SWATters: claim you saw this famous fugutive dude at an enemy’s house or business.
Comments are great.
“They should get back to doing the work of the people….like arresting fathers distraught over the coverup of his 16 year old daughters rape.”
Domestic terrorists should expect such treatment.
A different Dominion is trying to influence elections
More like, got caught and are now trying to cover their asses.
Whatever it takes, right?
McAuliffe must have some crony deal with Dominion going. Probably solar farm credits or some shit like that.
In case anyone didn’t get enough of elections being popularity contests, now you know the popularity of the non-elected.
How can The Doctor be so low and what about the most qualified candidate ever?
