BRAZIL MAN eaten by piranhas after jumping into lake to escape bees. Take that, Florida. Reported by Australian media which is all too happy to show that there are other places on earth where all the wildlife wants to kill you.
WE ARE AMUSED: Netflix cartoon series “Inside Job” is a hugely funny take on conspiracies, the deep state, aliens, and everything else your paranoid, tinfoil-wearing self could desire.

AND SPEAKING OF CONSPIRACIES: Florida man claims his father trained Oswald in secret CIA camps.
INCOMPETENCE or MALICE: Lincoln Project claims that their Tiki torch “stunt” at Youngkin event was harmless prank, never intended to be serious false flag operation. It didn’t help that the McAuliffe campaign tweeted the image thinking it was a real right-wing operation.

Thank you for sharing that. And of course things like this are always on-topic.
did you see my second mail?
and yes, Been where he is, I like to help,
I’ve been terrible about checking my Glibs email.
Thanks for reposting. I’ve had a hell of a week so little time to be here.
Seriously this place, outside of maybe my immediate family, are the most awesome people alive.
Helping Glibs is always on topic.
Hey Swissy, I just shot TPTB a mail regarding my posts, wierd stuff going on, Is this something you can look into?
I’ll see what THE COMMITTEE TO PUBLISH THINGS says!
Thanks

Finally was able to donate – I think GoFundMe was choking on me using a + in my e-mail address.
Don’t use special characters, man.
Some e-mail services allow you to do “catch-all” addresses using a “-” or a “+” so that you can classify e-mail better, as well as figure out who’s leaking your contact info.
But how else will I figure out who sold my e-mail?
Abine Blur. I have different email addresses for each company I interact with.
(and the ability to turn the address off when they abuse it)
I’m fine with the address+whatever@protonmail.com for casual mail filtering. Just hit random sites that don’t follow the RFCs and choke on the +
The link wouldn’t work on my cell phone either, but I was able to go to the main “GoFundMe.com” website and then search on “let’s help Jason start over”, then saw familiar glibbies as donors so I knew it was the right one.

Hey Animal, my local now gets Alaskan Brewing Company. The proprietor was particularly taken with the amber….so now I can get it all the time.
I love the amber. The white ale is pretty good too.
Agreed.
Get the Smoked Porter.

“It’s not yet known if the attack came before or after the man’s death.”
I’m guessing after.
I have been watching videos of a guy who catches huge Arawana and huge Piranha in Guyana, they are crazy big!
“It didn’t help that the McAuliffe campaign tweeted the image thinking it was a real right-wing operation.”
Or they knew it was fake and tweeted it anyway.
That is, of course, a possibility. But either way that stunt may have cost them the election, particularly following on the heels of “all your children are belong to us.”
I think his storming out of the interview in which he was incensed at having to answer non-softball questions turned people off too.
He came across as entitled, which didn’t do Hillary any favors in 2016 either.
People don’t like entitled candidates.
Hey! I like your new avatar, it’s a cute portrait, even with the face burka.
(I was gonna mindlessly type “cute facial portrait,” but then I remembered where I was posting . . . )
Jackson Pollcock would be an awesome pr0n name for a male actor who specialized in facial “porttraits”
Obviously it would be his brother, Johnson Pollock.
I thought Youngkin’s tweet the video of McAuliffe repeating “Trump” was awesome. I hope that pushed a vote or two his way.
The people involved were campaign workers. They knew. They just didn’t coordinate with the media as well as they usually do.
Indiana AG has three lawsuits ready, filing them today and tomorrow now that the OSHA rule is out
So that’s Indiana, Ohio, Tennessee, and Kentucky that have filed/will be filing suits. That’s a pretty big swatch of the Midwest.
With any luck, Virginia’s new administration will signal their intent to join.
Mississippi and Louisiana are working with him on one of the lawsuits. He’s filing separately for:
1. Vax mandate for contractors
2. OSHA rule for 100+ employees
3. Some additional rule for Medicaid/Medicare
Ohio, Tennessee, and Kentucky filed a joint case for the contractor one (linked it last thread, can reshare it if requested). At least the Ohio AG has said he’s working on a suit for the new OSHA rules as well.
2 states in the Midwest and 2 states somewhere indeterminate.
I have heard Southerners say “Kentucky ain’t the South, it’s the ass-end of the Midwest!”
The best line between the Midwest and the South I have seen went just south of Indianapolis and just north of Lexington.
Some Ohioans try to say that Cincy is in KY, but really Northern KY is in Ohio.
Everything south of Columbus is Kentucky.
Wrong!!!
Robc is right, some of it is WV
As a Georgian, Northern States include but are not limited to Vermont and South Carolina.

I liked the trailer. This has potential. I’m still not going to sign up for netflix.

I know it’s not much. But the hope is that these charges will cause him (and the others) to be more forthcoming and incriminate the bigger fish.
I thought at first it was mostly a nothingburger – this guy is the bottom of the food chain and we already know who’s up the line. But there’s a twist – the PR flack that apparently FED Danchenko some of this was another Clinton stooge. Guy named Charles Dolan (not related to THAT Charles Dolan apparently). I had been hoping that Blumenthal’s name was finally going to come up, but alas, not yet.
“NJ senate president now claims ballots have suddenly APPEARED in race with trucker who spent $153 on campaign: Dem refuses to concede defeat in humiliating loss to Raymour and Flanagan driver who ‘doesn’t know’ what he’ll do in office”

Yeeees!
Of course they have…
If ballots appeared suddenly in NJ, they would be for the Dem. And you still lost?
It worked for Murphy.
That dude must have done some serious last-minute scrambles, looking for a working photocopier.
But we all know that those southern states are so rustic that they don’t have that. Just a mimeograph machine, and vote scanners don’t like those.
It was weird how little campaigning he did. He thought he was going to cruise to reelection. Then at about 8pm on Monday night they had an “oh shit” moment had had to blatantly cheat.

‘The results from Tuesday’s election continue to come in, for instance there were 12,000 ballots recently found in one county,’ the veteran lawmaker told Politico.
‘While I am currently trailing in the race, we want to make sure every vote is counted. Our voters deserve that, and we will wait for the final results.’
Nothing to see here. Move along.
What do they mean “found”? Wasn’t it someone’s JOB to turn those in? Or do they treat elections like a scavenger hunt in New Jersey?
It means they need some fraud to save Sweeney’s ass. And they’ll get away with it, because the Dems control NJ.
They found them in the trunk of a car at the airport. They always find ballots there.
My city council critter was beat by the GOP opponent but now they’re saying not so fast, there are hundreds of ballots still floating through the postal system just waiting to be counted….
Are we the only country that allows this sort of shit?
I think so. Banana republics don’t bother with the song and dance.
The only “serious” country, yes.
Since when? Quotes or not, we look like fools,
Where I live, mail-in ballots need to be received by election day.
Not there on election day, not valid. If you choose to risk mail in that is your problem. The end.
Not only that but there is an implied security and anonymity with YOU handing YOUR ballot to an election worker or placing it in a secure box at the voting location.
Who knows who is actually completing/sending in these mail-in ballots.
Maybe I’m growing cynical with age, but I’m guessing that if a couple of the guys who somehow consistently “find” these ballots wound up beaten senseless in a ditch by the side of the road, we’d see a lot less of it.
Bee as usual is on point.
McAuliffe Blames Loss On Low 3AM Ballot Turnout
BT, heh.
Hello, anybody in there? How am I supposed to turn these votes in if they’re in someone else’s handwriting? I gotta have time to copy them!
Hey Biff — WHAT THE HELL IS THAT! (Shoves db aside and runs for his life…)
If the “Summary Results” graph they show is accurate (AP summary from the looks of it) — there were only 63,000 votes to start with. If this is 12,000 not in that 63k, that’s 16% of the total appearing out of nowhere. That’s ludicrous. [And yeah, 20% if those *are* already in the total…]
I really want a journalist to ask “we’ve had multiple cases of ballots being found after results have been reported -it seems that ballot handling procedures are lax and there may be people being disenfranchised because their ballots get lost. What are the ballot handling procedures, and how will lost ballots be prevented in the future?”
But of course they don’t
Pro wrestling comes up with more believable plot lines than this “lost ballots” nonsense.

“Doomed Hollywood star Natalie Wood was sexually assaulted by acting legend Kirk Douglas when she was underage, new memoir by her younger sister reveals”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10165655/Natalie-Wood-assaulted-Kirk-Douglas-sister-alleges.html
It seems a bit late to float these sort of allegations,
She wasn’t a witch.
Douglas was pretty well known philanderer. I think this one is a slam dunk.
Are we really going to sink to this?
It may have happened but Kirk Douglas is dead and he isn’t able to defend himself.
I get why some people who are sexually assaulted especially by powerful people with the ability to fuck them over really bad don’t say anything for a long time, but the other part is that is it fair to the person who is being accused of something that happened years and years ago? Unless pictures were taken or you had multiple witnesses (or in Weinstein’s case, a pattern of abuse), there’s no way to prove innocence or guilt.
Also…. Sexually assaulted as in forced, or as in completely inappropriate hookup between Hollywood star and smoking hot underage actress?
The former sounds very unlikely. The latter? Totally believable.
Exactly right.
The problem is we have dumbed down every definition of possible wrongdoing that what used to be a clear terminology is now a minefield of Wolk word salad.

The government is sabotaging the military.
Troops who refuse the coronavirus vaccine won’t see any extra protections or leniency in how their dismissals are handled, Defense and Veterans Affairs officials confirmed Wednesday.
Instead, decisions on whether to give those individuals other-than-honorable discharges — potentially blocking them from a host of veterans benefits — will be left to local commanders, and their cases won’t receive any preferential evaluations for veterans benefits eligibility.
Air Force and Space Force officials announced that about 8,500 airmen missed the Nov. 2 deadline to get the Vaccine. That represents 3 percent of total Air Force personnel.
This admin is sabotaging the whole damn country.
Commie rat fuckers, indeed!
I wonder if a future president could retroactively change their discharge status, or if it would take an act of congress.
What the end game here? The federal government and local governments want to fire people who don’t get the vaccine along with now crippling our military and discharging those who chose to not get the vaccine. The rational part of me is that they are drunk on power, but the tin foil hat part of me is thinking that they are doing this on purpose to get someone to snap and using that as an excuse to clamp down on the wrong thinkers.
Radical transformation of the country. We didn’t follow lightbringer peacefully so now they will show us what real power looks like.
Ozy wrote a story about this, but this is how IT all begins, ostracizing people, some who own and use weapons quite well, this cannot end well for one side or the other, choose wisely.
They have to be angling for an incident.
They are doubling down at every opportunity.
Letting China take over?
^^^^ Bingo. I’m 100% convinced. They are waiting so very patiently for someone from whom they have taken everything, to snap and perform some act of violence against some government lackey. That’s when the fun starts. You’ll never change my mind, even if it never happens.
Thirded. Talk with numerous “old” guys at work. It’s all fine until someone loses everything to corrupt cowardly statist pigs travelling in numbers. Someone with nothing left to lose is a dangerous person.

“What Happened Last Night in Virginia
The mandarins at MSNBC are calling Virginians racist and ignorant for voting Republican. But it’s not voters that are the problem…
It’s true that these parents often struggle to define Critical Race Theory. They’re not in a law-school seminar; they’re not fluent in academic jargon. But they’re not imagining things. They have noticed something very real: a new ideological orthodoxy pervading public schools, including an obsession with race, and the disparagement of anyone who questions the new dogma.
And here’s the crucial point: The “Critical Race Theory isn’t real” meme is not about race. It’s not about politics. It’s not even a culture war, really. It’s about class. It’s about one class—a highly-educated chattering class—using highly specialized language to tell normal parents that they lack sufficient intellectual capacity and are imagining things because they’ve been brainwashed. A highly-educated progressive media has used its educational advantage—92 percent of American journalists have a college degree—to gaslight working-class parents of all races. Under the guise of fighting racism…”
https://bariweiss.substack.com/p/what-happened-last-night-in-virginia
Well, someone’s being brainwashed, anyway.
I disagree. It is always about politics. Communist politics. American Commies have to tear down traditions, education, family, national defense, along with constitutional protections and limitations. Socialists did it in Russia, Germany, Italy, China, Cuba, Venezuela….
Its why what they are doing doesnt make sense to average Americans. Americans Communists are lunatics who think they can finally get America Commified. Incrementalism was working for them because Americans can endure and we dont tend to pick fights. Trump symbolized that America was fighting back and would not accept Communism.
So the Commies decided to try Communsim or Bust.
As for how Globalism fits into this. Its COMINTERN. Communism International types. These Commies are cloaking themselves in Capitalism but they dont want Capitalism that is international. They want a small group of elite to control things, the bureaucrats to do the dirty work, and serfs.
Notice the Commies at that Summit agreed to a global tax? This cuts all competitive nations off at the knees so that tax burdened nations and the EU can control the independent thinking nations.
England got mad that America broke away from the English globalists in 1776, so they attacked us again in 1812. Then Churchill wanted to keep British power over what it could and FDR sold us all down the river to Stalin. Luckily, serfs around the World decided to go independent from England, France, Portugal, and Netherlands. The elites have never forgiven America for allowing these nations to rule themselves.
Trump hobnobbed with these Globalists so he heard want they wanted. Its why they hate him so much. He knows what they are. He underestimated what they would do in reaction to him beating Hillary but he knows what they want.
You know the French Revolution was animated in a similar spirit – radicalism for the sake of radicalism. You’ve lived to see the death of communism, this is post-Marxist in every meaningful way.
Interesting article about Prohibition and the war on Drugs:
Prohibition Was Always a Progressive Experiment
All about making people better – which is a core belief under just about any progressive faction.
We had a company meeting today about the vaccine mandates. 1) Executive Orders are the law even though they are not. 2) We are just following Executive Orders. 3) Boosters aren’t part of the requirement. Yet. 4) No we won’t compensate you for any side effects. Vaccines are extremely safe. Even though with the thousands of employees we have, someone is bound to get side effects. 5) The Federal government is our single biggest customer. 6) No exceptions for people working from home because see 1, 2, and 5.
This doesn’t impact me directly yet since I’m vaccinated, but once boosters are rolled into the requirements, I’ll have to figure out what to do.
My work clearly said in the FAQ they released that they expect annual (or more frequent) boosters will be mandated as well.
Sent in my exemption form, let’s see what the first response is to that.
Oooh. I shan’t be getting any more shots. I will go full WFH first.
Not an option for us. Even full WFH, we’re still required to be fully vaccinated or have an exemption (pending or approved).
OBEY!
Whatever this is all about, it ain’t about “safety”.
I’d gladly go full WFH if the option was presented to me. But 1) it hasn’t been and won’t be presented, and 2) the email sent out made it clear even those on WFH are mandated.
the email sent out made it clear even those on WFH are mandated.
That’s what the e-mail from my former employer said. If I remember correctly, Biden’s contractor EO is that all employees of the contractor, regardless of their job role or location, must be vaccinated.
Yep. I put shift to full WFH as one of the “accommodations” that I was asking for to continue to be one of the unclean.
I’m an inquisitive guy. I’m what my elementary teachers called “curious”
I’m DYING to learn the magic science behind me passing a virus, sitting here in my home office in the Midwestern United States, to some people who happen to work for my company, who are in Mexico City. You know, the ones with the federal contracts.
I know it’s true, because Uncle Sleepy Shit-Diaper said so, but it’s beyond the meager science I was taught in graduate school.
Agreed. I will not get a booster.
It’s such bullshit because they said that once we get vaccinated, that this would be the end of it all and we can go back to normal. But now they want us to get boosters every 6-12 months as a condition of keeping our jobs. This is some authoritarian evil shit. You are forcing people to choose between staying true to their principles or being able to feed their families.
As I said before, they’re declaring war.
Lefties already declared war. This is part of the Civil war 2.0.
Im not taking any jab for COVID and I hope that nobody y’all know suffer any ill effects. Knowing what I do about Democrats, something really bad is gonna happen to those that took the jab or booster. It might take years but there is a dangerous reason they want every American to take the jab.
If SARS-COVID19 is a biological weapon, y’all are fucked. We are getting into virology and genome knowledge where multi-part biological weapons could be unleashed. Like binary explosives.
They’re trying to remove the control group.
To give some historical context of chemical and biological weapons. Hussein used chemical agents on Kurds. King Hussein used chemical agents on Syrians. Democrats used biological agents on Black Americans at Tuskegee. Germany and Hungary used chemical agents on the Western Front. The Allies used chemical agents. Hitler was scared of Western Allied retaliatory use of chemical and biological weapons, so he only used chemical weapons on the Russians and death camp folks. Imperial Japan used chemical and biological weapons on Chinese.
If you are not prepared for evil people to attack you with biological and chemical agents and ready to defend yourself, you are a fool.
^Yeah, this and if it holds get ready for all kinds of executive declarations for all kinds of bullshit public health emergencies. This is tyranny.
Yep. Race, climate coming up next in declaration of emergencies.
I really was thinking like 2030s would be our end, but 2021/22 definitely closed the door, bolted it, and put to bed we are anything but a free people.
Race, climate, firearms, misinfo, income inequality, pollution, and an endless fucking list. I’m all for seceding (again) at this point.
Really shouldn’t be surprised.
For the past year alone people in power have said we have no choice, no freedom, no right. They didn’t even dress it up.
If they want a war, they will get one, careful Socialists, wars are bloody, and there’s no starbucks close by,
We had Green Beans Coffee on some of the bases in Iraq and Afghanistan!
Oh, and according to the company website it’s Asexual Awareness Week. Yay to cheap virtue signaling.
OFFS!
Apparently they have a flag too. Gotta wave that flag.
Please tell me it’s solid white.
Asexual flag
These companies are making a mistake.
They have every right to impose vaccine requirements.
But if their justification is a clearly illegal OSHA action they you should sue.
I get the sense that because the Fed Gov is our largest customer, they don’t want to rock the boat by suing. At minimum they don’t want to be the first to sue and end up sending business to our competitors. I think they hope Biden will change the order to give some leeway or that one of the state lawsuits wins.
Reread that last sentence of yours in front of a competent judge and in a sane world this would end.
So, I clicked on this clickbait: https://www.boredpanda.com/employees-quit-not-paid-enough-signs/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=BPFacebook&fbclid=IwAR0tY_MJFOIC4iCBMiN6ZRcZB0pmxuM7OKtXfm-9bdBpZp9AwwZVKwK0Wok
And I still don’t completely understand what in the world is going on with the labor market. I’m all for paying people what they are worth, but why is this happening all at the same time? I have an employee leaving next week and I have received 2 applications, where we normally receive 12-20. It’s entry level and I feel like I’m already overpaying. Is the invisible hand giving me the bird, or is it the government screwing me again?
The government is screwing you.
Believe me, I’m feeling it too.
I mean, I am on glibertarians, so I knew that was the answer. I’m just astounded at the entitlement in some of those pictures. I’m all for paying people what they are worth, but all those jobs on there are designed to be high wage jobs, so the employee has to know what they are signing up for.
I am having the same problem. I had one employee who left because they literally got an offer for $30,000 more than I could pay. $30,000! To do less work! Who the Hell pays that?
Someone who doesn’t want to stay in business?
You give people incentives to sit at home and many of them will sit at home, it’s just that simple.
I thought most were starting to go away though. What else is going on now?
I had the impression that a lot of states are still providing copious benefits. That’s not the case where I’m at though and I could certainly be wrong.
Ah yes. Explains why recovery in blue states is half the rate.
It’s because ungrateful pieces of shit like this are making more money from government benefits.
Take that away and this shit will go away real quick.
And when the bennies dry up, these are the first people crying on TV about how unfair the world is and how thy are entitled to someone else labor and money.
Also, if these people listened and suffered some B.S. for a while, they might get promoted and receive more pay. Like everyone since the beginning of time.
I’m in camp “the wages are too damn low”. I think a lot of employers built business models around really cheap marginal labor being endlessly available, and the pool was shrinking already. When it crashed during covid, a lot of people discovered that they really were marginal employees, in the sense that what they earned wasn’t much different from not working and drawing a ubi. If you got used to that, it’s going to take a lot to tip that marginal person back. Fair or not fair, there really are a lot of shit jobs available that will consume all your time and energy and leave you with nothing after the latest rent and gas increase.
That’s it. I’m reaching the part where my suspension of disbelief is gone:
Akron Zoo to administer COVID-19 vaccines to susceptible animals
Not the Bee.
This is a really shitty simulation, probably a beta. I’m looking forward to v2.0.
Flat tire on side of highway. Cold rain. As I get the spare out of the trunk, I recall a conversation with the car dealer last year.
“There’s a recall on the jack for the 2021 Trailblazer. If you call back in a few months we can make sure we can get it to you”
As I open the back, that conversation seems much more important than it did back then.
If you need advice, call Rico Soave.
I offered to teach him how to change a tire when I met him at FreedomFest.
He said he never should have written that article.
He should have known what was going to happen.
To be sure….
That situation sucks.
Last time I had to change a flat it was in the driveway – and the numb-nuts who had last put the wheel on had torqued the hell out of the lug nuts with a pneumatic gun.
I ended up having to find a 6 foot length of pipe and using my full bodyweight to even crack them. Thank god I wasn’t on the side of the road.
If you can lift more than your body weight, setting the lever on the other side and pushing up will get more force applied than climbing onto the end of the pipe.
If you can’t, but all means, lean on the lever.
You should see my skinny ass jumping on my star wrench to crack the lugnuts loose,
long levers FTW!
You need to jump up and down on the lever, that’s where the real power comes from.
If you want real power, set up the lever and drive the car in the direction needed to turn the bolt.
Are you sure you aren’t my brother? Cause sounds vaguely familiar to his advice when I was a wee too learning….
That may even have been what I ended up doing – it was a while ago. I just remember being totally pissed at… somebody for making them that tight.
My last on was on M31, as I’m getting everything setup, a younger couple pulled over and asked if I needed help, I said no I got this, then insitsted on helping, so I said sure.
He did the whole thing, and we said good day, then I realized he wanted to help out an Old Man, I was emberrassed but I know he felt good so Cool!
I once used the bar off the hydraulic jack and still had two nuts (not a euphemism ?) that wouldn’t come loose . The car was in my garage, but my impact was at work. I had to call AAA. Dude came by, zip zip. Destroyed one lug, but the other was still fine. Next time I had a flat, I was on the interstate so I called the State Farm HERO truck. Don’t care. I’m not keeping an impact in my trunk.
POS overcompensating for something with maximum tor
I know (in theory) what to do. Problem is my car doesn’t have the hardware – no jack, tire iron, or spare. It came with a useless skit that is effectively a can of fix a flat.
My Focus had these. I should have taken them before letting it get scrapped.
Most cars seem to come this way now. My Hyundai comes with a couple of years of roadside assistance for flats. Not sure how to use it though…. Are they gonna tow me to Tires Plus to buy a new tire?
Included in the C-Max’s warranty was roadside assistance that included flats. They’d tow to any ford dealership or approved garage within ten miles. I know this because the one flat I’ve had was while I had the warranty.
That sinking feeling you get when you realize you don’t know jack.
Or worse when you’re cranking that jack and not getting the rise you expected.
I had performance anxiety!
Even worse is when the fluid spurts out of the jack on the first pump.
Is it just me or does Joe Biden bear more than a passing resemblance to the Reverend Henry Kane, the evil ghost preacher from the later Poltergeist movies?
Stay away from the light
Nah, he’s not that much of a weirdo. Kane I mean.
Do you mean physically or psychically.
Because yes.
Because he’s smaaaaart?
God is in… his holy temmmmple!
Good news. Did you like Evangelion, but want something more high school focused with an interracial lesbian subtext?
Revolutionary Girl Utena Joins Crunchyroll’s Anime Catalog Today!
It’s actually a rather interesting and critically acclaimed shoujo anime and considered a classic. Animation is actually rather interesting, but to me the score is one of the more amazing things.
Virtual Star Hasseigaku – Shoujo Kakumei Utena Soundtrack 2 I 01
You mean interracial lesbian, incest and twincest subtext.
No, strike that, there’s nothing subtextual about it, it’s quite overt.
I do like the way it shifted between subtle and serious to absolute bonkers between episodes.
I was hoping you’d chime in here. Pretty much.
Still the score amazes me. Nobody spends this kind of effort on them anymore.
When I introduce people to it, I play the two episodes that are sequential and show the range of the series — the one where Nanami is being threatened by various runaway animals and she things her brother is cheating on her, and the one with the big reveal about Juri’s orientation. Which was really well done, though loses quite a lot of impact in these more easygoing times.
For those of you who haven’t seen it — it was released in the states as season 1 (of four) and the next thing to get released was the movie which squished all four seasons into a 90 minute show. And was a little nuts even if you HAD seen all four seasons, which I had not.
The best part of the movie is the scene where the garden gets flooded. I want a remastered 4k version of that.
I think here is the only place I’ve ever mentioned it.
I don’t know many people that are likely to have a strong interest. That said given when it came out the themes it explorers are rather amazing.
Sadly the voice actress who played Utena died both young and suddenly.
We had to go to Rochester Airport today to rent a car. I was delighted to see that everyone at the rental counters had their masked either slipped below their nose, under their chin, or just hanging off one ear and dangling. Damn, it was refreshing to see that the airport employees are just as sick of the bullshit as we are.
Airports are the last vestige.
Grocery stores here. But they are just starting to crack…
Really? Haven’t worn a mask in a store here in Texas
in about 6 months.
But it’s actually the easiest place to wear one. I’m
in and out in 10 minutes and speak to no one.
I imagine it must be annoying to repeat everything you say 3 times because no one can understand you through a mask.
Pardon?
I’m sorry, I didn’t hear that.

Can you repeat that, sir?
From a guy who is hard of hearing, Y’all can get Fucked!
Deafness sucks,
I am too but I’m not a little bitch about it.
The mockery gets old, rather childish, so you stay young, and I’ll stay a Bitch,
And Bitch about it, you stay docile now…
well i thought it was funny
What?
No worries Urth, I mean I did hear you after all……..
On the Lincoln Project stunt:
They lie.
I learned about it from a tweet by a blue checkmark journalist. It took a crowd sourced debunking to identify the people to disprove it….. And most telling… The media did not cover “democrat campaign dirty trick” as an angle. In fact, CNN and the NBC family continued (continues?) to refer to racist or white supremacist rallies.
Also…. The next day there was another blue checkmark sending out a photo of a confederate flag wearing attendee at the final rally. An attendee wearing a cowboy hat and facing away, but nicely framed so the stage and nameplate are in center frame. And carefully tailored to ensure that you cannot see a face to crowdsource.
Liars lying is one thing… But the fact that corporate media did not cover these last ditch smear tactics as the desperate last ditch smear tactics they were is revealing.
Also… Watch MSNBC or CNN at any point since the election… “Racism triumphed” with racist dog whistles appealing to a racist state full of racist republicans who fall for racist conspiracy theories. All day. Every day.
So no, not just a stunt.
Besides, they take orders, they don’t operate on their own initiative.
Faded jacket and brand new patch but it could have been legit too although I’d give it even odds at this point.
Zero chance. Only 2 people in the room in cowboy hats (not a Virginia staple) and blue checkmark happens to be positioned behind for a perfectly framed photo (if your objective is a hit piece).. But said journalist never asks a name, asks a question about his support?
Yeah.. Didn’t happen. Not a single chance. If it was a real person they would have done a long format exposition.
There’s video of him moving around to position himself in front of the cameras. The lack of curiosity from journalists in these events is remarkable.
Especially a juicy thing such as that. Hey mister…
It’s amazing how they hear all of these “dog whistles” on subjects that have little (if anything) to do with race when no one on the other side does.
I’d like to tell these assholes – if you’re the only ones hearing them, you’re the dog. Or bitch.

Men are at greatest risk to severe disease? I hadn’t heard that one.

Men are more likely to be on blood pressure meds.
A liter of Yuengling Oktoberfest in a souvenir Oktoberfest 2018 mug while I process pictures from my FreedomFest road trip (yes, I’m just getting to them now) and my trip to Florida for the Tom Woods 2000th show.

Weird isn’t? Three years ago is now “the good old days”.
Away the child goes on his driver’s test. I give it a 50/50 chance he passes. Everything was so last minute including not booking the proper appointment and I have been sitting around the DMV hoping he gets called in
I’ll keep my breath held for him.
True story, 5 or 6 years ago I let my license renewal lapse, and it was something like 3 months late, and unbeknownst to me the law is, I had to take another driving test to reinstate it.
I’ve been driving for 30 years, and I failed. Had to take it a second time.
I my driver’s license lapsed a while ago, because it was good for 10.0 years and around 10.2 years after issuance someone asked for my ID and noticed it wasn’t valid.
Had to retake driving test. Me in car with driving inspector: “I’ve been driving for decades. I know how to drive safely. Now, what weird and counterintuitive things do I have to do to pass?”
So she told me, and I passed.
*grumble*
It seems the production troubles tuesday have borked a production database server. We’re going to have to restore from backup.
I’m racking up a lot of after-hours work this week. None of it fun.

Thank you for that.
Second.
My tire saga continues. No jack due to recall, so I call GM roadside assistance. They’ll be happy to send someone out.
After an hour, I contact them. They couldn’t send anyone else because I’m on a restricted road. They can’t do anything, and that part is fine. NOT FUCKING TELLING ME AND LWTTING ME WAIT IN THE RAIN FOR AN HOUR AND A HALF ISN’T
Ugh. Now I have to wait for a buddy who, I know, is going to give me shit about this for months.
Fuck my life. Plus I ran out of smokes an hour ago. Arrgh.
So sorry you’re going through this! What the heck is a restricted road??
Private roads, gated communities, they are everywhere, even up here,
It’s the standard for customer service now.
Yikes, sorry.
Oh dude, no smokes? I feel for you, right nows when you need one, or 5, OTOH, plan ahead, buy a bottle jack while waiting for the recall, and always have a spare pack of smokes and lighter double bagged in the vehicle.
I wonder if those alcohol delivery services make deliveries to out-of-commission vehicles.
AAA.
Binged through all ten episodes of “Inside Job” on Netflix in three days. Highly recommend – like “Rick and Morty”, but more tinfoil hat glibertarian-ish in tone. They even have a moment where a character pulls an actual tinfoil hat out of a totebag.
