As October draws to a close and the temperatures ratchet down here, I have been doing everything I can to stay far, far away from the drama and intrigue enveloping our business: a stormy relationship, on and off, between two of the kids, where each is trying to enlist allies. An announcement from one of our loud bisexuals that she now has a boyfriend and is conflicted. An announcement from one of our fragile snowflakes that she’s now switched from a boyfriend to a girlfriend, but fears that she has bisexualphobia. Much terror from one of our girls that there is a malevolent ghost in the basement storage room and she WON’T go down there. I just work at the grill and try to pretend that none of this is happening while internally laughing my ass off.
What IS happening, though, is birthdays, including the guy who couldn’t wait to wipe his ass on the freshly-written Bill of Rights; a guy who cursed- a LOT; a guy who inspired a shitty pop tune; the prime example of disgusting shitheads whose art is undeniable; a guy who figured that “Angelo Siciliano” was not a memorable name; star of the shittiest cult movie ever made; a guy who wasn’t bright but was one helluva badass; a pioneer of TV news people’s incorrect belief that they’re doing something important; the truer version of The Day The Music Died; a brother-in-law of several dummies; one of my teenage fantasy women who was stone cray-cray; the nemesis of Peggy Hill; and a hatchet face who managed to marry a money dude.
Let’s do links while I pretend I don’t hear the kids talking.
- Odds, anyone? Lay the money down on the Groper Guinea or the Revenge of the Woke!
- “Potentially” Aren’t we having a bit of a problem already? Nah…
- Oh, what a triumph! The British used to measure how many survivors retreating from the Khyber Pass they had…
- Proof again that the snowflakes I work with aren’t any more stupidly silly than the Official Teams.
- Of course it was the Jews.
- Leaders of the nations of the world need to join hands and… raise taxes.
Old Guy Music features a birthday lad, one who died way too soon, yet left an outsize mark on jazz. Donna Lee is a wild-ass Charlie Parker tune, and Brownie makes it even wilder. Fuck, this is GREAT playing.
An announcement from one of our loud bisexuals that she now has a boyfriend and is conflicted.
If she’s bisexual, why is this a conflict?
Because she’s a buysexual and he’s too broke to buy her anything.
Don’t poke that bear. Just shake your head and walk away.
grizzly haz a sad.
Pillsbury doughbear?
Because cishet males are icky. If one must have a boyfriend, is should be a transboy, or at the very least a genderqueer or an enby.
That makes as much sense as the rest of this nonsense.

It amazes me that you’re able to survive all that weapons grade bullshit. I’d probably start yelling incoherently or just walk out while muttering under my breath.

Yeah, drama isn’t intended to amuse.
I’d be hiding bodies in SF’s crawlspace.
You don’t do that already?
I don’t really interact with people all that much anymore. The 4 year old doesn’t say anything that stupid, the 1 year old only has a handful of words, none of which could be combined into anything as stupid as that, and the wife is securely me-sexual.

She only wants sex with herself? :-p
No, she has a thing for obscure versions of the windows operating system.

It is one of the reasons I’m really rooting for Musk — humanity needs a frontier to get away from the collectivists somehow, and they’ve claimed everywhere on this planet now. (Yeah, you could try Antarctica or an ocean settlement — but you know damned well they’d come for you for messing up the “pristine environment” or some crap… Mars first, then the Belt.)
Yeah, the worldwide mass hysteria over “this virus” was a clear indication that there’s nowhere to run. I have a feeling they’re just getting started.
I hear things are pretty chill out in Amish land. Wi-Fi might be a problem though.
We feel pretty much like we’ve escaped. Yeah, there’s this hilariously stupid woke shit in the three blocks of our town, but the surrounding rurals are sparsely populated, and mostly by solid folks (including Amish and Mennonites). We could be in a whole ‘nother country from NYC and Albany.

Ok… I’m at a loss – what pop tune did Admiral Halsey inspire?
Rock You Like a Hurricane?
[hands SDF-7 a butter pie]
Thank you — never been a big McCartney fan so hadn’t heard of it. And there’s apparently some recent act called Halsey, so a web search for “Halsey pop song” was all about them. Much obliged.
Though listening to it — I’m not sure I’d call it pop, even for the 70’s…. dirge folk, maybe?
Ok… It does get poppy around the butter pie bit. But dear Lord that was horrible. Paul needed to call his dealer and ask for a refund on the drugs that inspired that one.
Scroll to the 2nd half.
I think I remember this. Ugh, why couldn’t it stay buried in my head like it was since whenever it came out.
Admiral Halsey’s grandnephew Brett Halsey became a B-list movie actor in the late 50s.
“Admiral Halsey” was also a character’s name in Seth MacFarlane’s recent sci-fi series “The Orville.” A sly wink to McCartney’s “Uncle Albert,” perhaps?
Would it help if you told the scaredy-cat that the ghost in the basement is gender fluid?
Well, it is almost certainly on the spectre-um.

Ah yes, I’m sure your average republican voter is mightily impressed with the hard hitting demonstration of condemnation for anyone opposed to total democratic control over every level of government in this nation.
Bill Kristol and his warmongering, neocon controlled opposition ilk can’t fuck off fast enough.

Last time I got on YT my feed was flooded with recommendations for videos about slavery and Black History month. Not sure what prompted that considering it’s Halloween. Guess they think I don’t feel enough White Guilt at the moment.
a stormy relationship, on and off, between two of the kids, where each is trying to enlist allies – is this what kids call it these days….
. I just work at the grill – can your place consistently cook a med rare steak? Because none of the places near me can
I can cook you one fuck of an excellent breakfast burrito.
And telling the closers here that they can get coffee flies over their heads.
excellent breakfast burrito. – what kind of ketchup you use on that?
It’s worse- what the locals love is Jalapeno Ranch, so that’s the default sauce. WebDom and I make a New Mexico red chile sauce, and that’s what the cognoscenti order.
Not sure if we even have ketchup.
I never had authentic Americanese Ranch dressing
Jalapeño ranch?
On eggs?

Just gut it like a perch. Same way I handle calzones or stromboli.

I don’t find myself in their vicinity often though.
avocado toast hold the toast. I am sure they have an egg in there. Maybe bacon
Ask for it rare, so when they overcook it, it will still be medium rare.
Of I do I still often get it medium. I am just not the type to send it back though I should sometimes.
I grill the best steaks.
They say it’s 10,000 hours of experience to become an expert at something.
Judging by your posts, you’ve got that covered.
Med-rare perfection – Let steak dry/age overnight in the fridge, heat cast iron skillet (I use #5 on a 6 level gas range), salt & pepper steak, drop a pat of butter into skillet just ahead of steak, cook steak under bacon press or weight for 3 minutes per side (S&P the uncooked side before its only flip), remove to plate, top with a pat of Kerry Gold butter and let sit for 5 – 10 minutes. I also like to take the fatty trimmings and fire them in the toaster oven until crispy.
Burnt pepper. ?
Salt first then sit in fridge over night (24 hours is good).
Pepper after cooking. Fresh ground black tellicherry.
I also don’t believe in needing butter for cooking a steak in a cast iron pan.
That way sounds delicious as well. For me, most food is merely a delivery vehicle for butter.

In my capacity as a communications consultant, I worked w @ProjectLincoln to coordinate today’s Youngkin action in Charlottesville. I join them in the fight to defend our democracy from rightwing extremists and call for Glenn Youngkin to denounce Trump’s ‘very fine people.

We’ve been concentrating on local stuff, which is not a handicap. Last few nights, some of the single-vineyard dry Rieslings from Forge (Seneca Lake) and Dr. Konstantin Frank (Keuka Lake), a wonderful Cabernet Franc from Weis (Keuka Lake), our house white (Dr. Frank’s Rkatsiteli), and Saperavi from both Frank and Weis. Had a mediocre Syrah from Seneca Lake- I love cool-climate wines, but this place is just not Syrah country.
how local is that in driving hours?
Keuka Lake is about 45 minutes. Seneca Lake is about 1:20.
Given the climate can you get a decent dry wine?
Not saying you can’t….
Given the climate can you get a decent dry wine? – you can get decent dry wine everywhere even perish the thought Australia
All the ones I mentioned were dry.

Hayes said, “You feel quite clear there is essentially a fundamentally illiberal authoritarian faction that’s formed that has gained control of the Republican Party.”
Gallego said, “Correct. But this has been going on for a while, Chris. Now a lot of people are seeing it. Let’s begin. You know this goes back prior to this election. When you saw the Tea Party movement, and you were at the protests of the Tea Party, I was at the first one observing them, you saw people trying to overthrow, start overthrowing the government because they didn’t like the fact that there was a Black president. We saw the rhetoric they were using. You saw the legislation. For example, in the statehouse, they were putting in legislation to overturn the right of citizens to vote for the U.S. Senate. They wanted to have the state legislators do that from now on. This has been an existing part of the Republican Party. The problem is the Republican Party and the corporate overlords always thought they could contained it. Now it’s taken over. Now Trumpism is in charge.”
Gallego added, “The only real way to defend ourselves right now is for us to have a very vigorous democracy where we get out the vote and stop all attempts for them to actually disenfranchise us because the coup is ongoing. It’s not armed but now it’s armed with legal briefs, armed with different ballot initiatives to diminish peoples right votes, other legal means that, unfortunately, could have bad results, more so than what we saw on January 6th.”
Idk if my bp can take much more of this, at least for today.

Those idiots actually *believe* in federalism, limited government and individual freedoms! And our globalist chamber of commerce puppets have lost control of them! We can’t have THAT!

The Lincoln project has failed to condemn pedophilia, puppy torture, rape, murder, etc. The organization should do this on a daily basis, whether or not any of these things is relevant to it.

Loudoun County mother: “My six year old somberly came to me and asked if she was born evil because she was a white person, something she learned in a history lesson at school.”
“Of course not, honey. Your teacher is an evil, lying cunte.”
I am not sure I buy “my 6 year old said” stuff
Yeah, Things That Didn’t Happen for $600, Alex works both ways. Unless other students come forward and corroborate when and where this occured, I call bullshit.
Considering current affairs, this is not out of the realm of possibility for me. It makes more sense than some kid bleating about some politician or something like you get from leftist parents.
*shrug* We know they are teaching that, and it seems perfectly reasonable that at least one child would have questions about it at home.
⬆⬆
I’ll I’m saying is that what most likely happened was the teacher was giving a lesson about slavery in America and gave the boilerplate speech about slavery being evil and wrong and white people shouldn’t have done that, not singled out all the white six year olds and told them they were inherently evil because of their skin color.
The kid probably took it the wrong way then told mommy what they learned, mom gets only one side of the story(from a child, no less) and jumps to the worst possible conclusion.
Dude, have you seen what goes into CRT lessons? They are absolutely teaching segregation and that whites are oppressors and black are victims. This whole kerfuffle is about the school boards trying to hide that from parents.
What can I say? I’ve grown so cynical that I don’t believe anybody’s anecdotal outrage story anymore.
Take a look at what’s happening in Loundon County. To call these anecdotal one-offs is highly inaccurate. There’s been story after story revealing the CRT curriculum, with photos and video. Teaching white children that they are evil is completely in line with this systemic effort by the left.

There is no patriot purge…
Those programming decisions are ones that are apparently agreeable to Murdoch. If they were not, he could easily reverse them. The same goes with The Journal’s decision to publish Trump’s letter promoting the Big Lie. He could have stopped it if he wanted.
In fact, Murdoch is known for being hands on, especially with regards to the opinion arms of his media organizations, which he has often used to advance his personal viewpoints.
This context makes Murdoch’s decision to at least implicitly green-light content promoting 1/6 trutherism and election denialism so intriguing. If he wanted to put an end to it, he very well could. But he is not — and that is notable.
…but purge this patriot.
President Joe Biden’s first day at the Group of 20 Summit began Saturday with the President achieving one of his core objectives for the global conference — an endorsement of a 15% global minimum tax from world leaders.
The tax is a chief priority of Biden’s that the White House believes would end the global race-to-the-bottom on corporate tax rates. The new rule will be formalized when the leaders release a final G20 communiqué on Sunday, when the summit ends.
“Today, G20 leaders will support the establishment of a historic global minimum tax. We expect to see the GMT formally endorsed in the Leaders communique on Sunday,” a White House official said.
Race to the bottom. Take that, world.
But “globalism” is a “conspiracy theory”, remember.
Isn’t his pledge utterly worthless the minute a Republican takes office?
If he doesn’t get it through Congress, yeah — I thought a 15% minimum corp tax is in the current iteration of the “Infrastructure” bill, so that may be how they’re planning to do it.
If done that way, though — any subsequent Congress can change it. It won’t be a treaty obligation via the Senate that I would think folks would be more leery about changing on principle.
Oh — and forgot that of course, like DACA and whatnot — Executive Orders and non-treaty treaties by a Dem == Absolute Fixtures, by a Rep == Illegal overreach by the Executive. So says the wraiths on the benches….

It’s always thirty seconds ’til midnight for these people
Vice President Kamala Harris on Friday warned that a win by Republican candidate Glenn Youngkin in Virginia’s gubernatorial election could doom Democrats in the 2022 congressional midterms and even the 2024 general election.
Harris gave the frank analysis, which is likely to be cited often by Republicans if Youngkin does win, while campaigning for Democratic candidate Terry McAuliffe in Norfolk, Va.
“What happens in Virginia will in large part determine what happens in 2022, 2024 and on,” Harris said during a 16-minute stump speech.
The world will end if you don’t do what we tell you!

They’re no different that the religious fundies who kept predicting the rapture and apocalypse and changing the date 3000 times a year, while I was growing up. The difference is that the lefties are way more fervently religious.
