QUARTERLY STAFF MEETING TIME.
ZARDOZ SPEAKS TO YOU, HIS CHOSEN ONES. END OF YEAR ACCOUNTING, EH? ZARDOZ MUST ACCOUNT FOR AMMO, GRAIN AND GUNS TO THE VORTEX. AS IF THE ETERNALS CARE…AS LONG AS THE BRUTALS DON’T BOTHER THEM, AND THEY HAVE THEIR GREEN BREAD… SAY, ZED, COULD YOU STEP UP DELIVERIES OF THAT?
I’ll tip you on the BrutalCart app.
BUT YOU ARE NOT HERE TO LISTEN TO ZARDOZ RUMINATE ON MANGEMENT….YOU ARE HERE TO RECEIVE THE GIFT OF THE LINK! GO FORTH AND COMMENT!
- “He fell out a window” – IT IS ONLY A SINGLE CLEANSING, BUT ZARDOZ WILL TAKE WHAT ZARDOZ CAN GET.
- ZARDOZ WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THIS MOMENT TO REMIND YOU THAT THE PENIS IS EVIL!
- WHY WOULD THE SCHEDULED CLEANSING OF TWO BRUTALS BE PUT OFF BY COVID? WERE THE EXECUTIONERS WORRIED THE SENTENCED WOULD CATCH A DISEASE?! ZARDOZ IS SHAKING HIS DAMNED STONE HEAD.
- ZARDOZ IS PUZZLED. SINCE WHEN DO GUERRILLA ARMIES USE CORPORATE-SPEAK? “The goal is to be as inclusive as possible. We know this transition requires all stakeholders”
ZARDOZ HAS SPOKEN.
Hail Zardoz!
Morning, Zardoz
All hail ZARDOZ!
Mine’s more chaotic neutral than evil.
OMWC is ZARDOZ now?
Anyone else a little disappointed that there’s no Tales From the Woke Side this morning?
… Nothing personal, ZARDOZ.
He’s giving a DEI training today.
Yeah, that’s it.
He wouldn’t last more than 10 minutes without falling into hysterical laughter.
And I have a great one, but it will wait until next week. SP and I are on the road to Phoenix to pick up the last of our stuff.
Driving?
From New York?
Holy crud.
Husband and I won’t be able to make lunch today. We too have chores involving our move.
Isn’t a “fall from a window” how they did away with Dubcek? Also, I think Vassily Blokhin (Stalin’s head executioner) also “drunkenly fell down the steps of his dacha and broke his neck” not long after Stalin died. It’s a nice sign of increasing normalcy when there is news of old fashioned SMERSH skullduggery.
NERTZ! Dubcek was a car crash and Blokhin was officially a suicide. Make the NKVD great again!
Epstein was officially a suicide, too.
Blokhin had dirt on Hillary?
He’s dead isn’t he?

Falling down the stairs is quaint compared to some of that Mossad action.
SMERSH’s fame came from perfecting vehicle “accidents”. Usually a 2.5 ton American lendlease truck running into a vehicle/pedestrian and killing them.

OH MY! There was big file dump on the video forum I like, 90 unsold or unaired television pilots. The crown jewel of which is a show I’ve never seen in its entirety, Heil Honey, I’m Home
Well, are you going to review it or not?
Watching it now. The standard sitcom trope of unbeknownst to wife husband has important dinner guest arriving involves Chamberlain coming to dinner to complain about Czechoslovakia. Eva tells her hubby – “You may be a big shot in Germany MISTER Schicklgruber, but I knew you when you just a housepainter.”
It’s a British show set in 1938 Germany but everyone is affecting that Al Smith inflection so prominent in Queens and Brooklyn accents. I’m having trouble suspending my disbelief.
It sounds awful
Ive heard of it. Kinda like a nazi “Honeymooners”.
I’m sure the movie fanatic community Goebbles this kind of thing up.

That’s almost as bad as the “vaccine gives you superpowers” video Pfizer (?) put out.
So my modified version of your exemption request form appears to have been successful. They responded in 1.5 days, and seeing as even modified, it was ~100 pages makes me think they didn’t really didn’t read or consider it carefully. Either the distillation I put into their pre-defined forms (with a “please see attached document for details”) was sufficient or, more likely, they are simply accepting whatever exemption requests they get. Rumor has it that significant disruption was just below the surface. But “approved, no restrictions or conditions” (e.g. no work from home, no testing requirement). Thanks for all your hard work on the doc.
I must confess to being a bit conflicted. On the one hand, it’s nice to not be worried about potential loss of income, though I’m in a position to weather that for a significant amount of time, and to be able to continue doing what I really enjoy doing. On the other hand, I’m not happy that one has to request an ‘exemption’ to a patently immoral and unethical policy. And I’m not sure requesting exemption and having employers grant blanket sort of exemptions is the right course morally. It smacks a bit of the old “we’ll all lie and pretend with each other and never have to face down the monstrosity of what we are doing here”. It might be better, especially for someone in my position who can handle it, to make them face the consequences of their irrationality and immorality, however small those might be in any individual situation. I mean, if you can slide under the radar of the tyrant rather than hang him from his heels from the nearest lamppost like he deserves, does it ever get fixed?
No, it only gets worse.
“On the other hand, I’m not happy that one has to request an ‘exemption’ to a patently immoral and unethical policy. And I’m not sure requesting exemption and having employers grant blanket sort of exemptions is the right course morally.”
I’m struggling with this as well. I have an “exemption” which allows me to permanently WFH, did not even need to provide anything beyond notifying my manager that I was unclean. It just doesn’t feel right; if the policy changes and my employer requires the jab, I plan to just say no (thanks, Nancy).
Was expecting this.
Are you able to post or link to the entire ~100 page request without doxing yourself? My HR mgr and I are strategizing about how to give our plant employees a way to keep working without having to get the vax, be tested, or quit.
trshmnstr,
I wasn’t around when your story dropped, so I wanted to say it’s really enthralling.
That ending was abrupt. Looking forward to the next one.

SQUEAL!!!! Bates Motel, not the 2013 series but the 1987 pilot that was turned down, then aired as a tv movie – Bud Cort plays a teen looney bin inmate who was mentored by Norman Bates in the booby hatch then inherits the hotel after Norman dies.
I enjoyed the more recent series, it was sufficiently creepy and strange.
Did you get a chance to watch Only Murders in the Building? Curious on your thoughts on it. As I mentioned, the girlfriend and I were both entertained by it.
Sounds like a good candidate for the Thursday night glibflicks.

A pandemic of SCIENCE! denial
More than half of US states on Friday filed or joined lawsuits opposing President Joe Biden’s vaccine mandate for employees of large companies.
Twenty-six states cosigned four petitions, amounting to perhaps the most sweeping legal challenge to pandemic-era safety requirements since Biden took office. Three Democrat-led states are among the 26.
The lawsuits, filed in four federal appeals courts, take aim at Biden’s requirement that all companies with more than 100 employees mandate COVID-19 vaccines for their staff, or implement weekly testing.
“This mandate is unconstitutional, unlawful, and unwise,” said a lawsuit filed by Missouri and 10 other states in the US Court of Appeals for the Eight Circuit.
Will President Ballgag listen? Will he throw that quack Foochy to the lions?
I crack myself up.
Chief “Justice” Roberts will find a way to make the vaccine mandate constitutional.
Damn those 26 states for fighting against the will of the
majorityminority of other states!Wait a second…
It’s probably all redneck states that form a tiny fraction of the total population.
Adam Corolla has a weekly YouTube thing with Mark Garagos and Garagos thinks the lawsuits will fail bigly. Apparently he’s represented several people opposing various Covid mandates and the judges are for the most part in lockstep with the pronouncements unfortunately. We’ll see I suppose but the judges tend towards authoritarianism in the first place and also tend to be in the age range that’s more adversely effected. If we rely on lawsuits and the bullshit legal process we’ll all be screwed.
I still think the Ohio one has a chance. The first few counts of it are all about “Here’s how this agency doesn’t have the authority to do this, and even if they did — they needed to do *this* process even under this situation”. Judges love weaseling out of actually calling something unconstitutional by using process violations.
But then again, I have obvious selfish reasons to root for something to knock this down for as long as possible….
Secession is the answer.
Indeed.
Shit… I don’t even think Obamacare had over half the states suing over it.
Woodchippers for judges who violate their oaths of office and the constitution is the answer.

*outright prolonged laughter*
The states said in the filing that Biden’s mandate “will cause injuries and hardship to working families, inflict economic disruption and staffing shortages on the states and private employers, and impose even greater strains on struggling labor markets and supply chains.”
That’s pretty much the explicitly stated objective.
Punishment and subjugation of the refuseniks. Vilification and scapegoating. Incite the obedient to hate them.

True enough. Courts have been rejecting lawsuits pretty much out of hand. But the political implications are pretty hard to miss.

“Yale causes uproar with seminar by diversity trainer who said the FBI inflates antisemitism figures, the written word is white supremacy and punctuality is a white trait: Hired by professor who accused Native American student of racism
A law professor who was caught on tape pressuring a Native American student to apologize for ‘trap house’ party, pushed Yale to host a diversity trainer who reportedly told students anti-Semitism is a form of ‘anti-blackness’ and that the FBI artificially inflates hate crimes against Jews.
Yale’s director of diversity and inclusion Yaseen Eldik invited ‘kinky’ sex education and diversity trainer Ericka Hart to the university after the board ‘publicly expressed’ it would ‘implement implicit bias and antiracism training….
Hart’s presentation allegedly dealt with ‘pretty privilege’ and ‘fatphobia.’
When a Yale Law Review journal editor asked her why her presentation dealt with those types of topics instead of anti-Semitism, Hart allegedly replied that she did because she covered anti-blackness and there are some black Jews, according to the Washington Free Beacon.
‘She basically said anti-Semitism is a subset of anti-blackness,’ the unidentified editor told the Free Beacon said.
‘She didn’t recognize there could be anti-Semitism against white people.’ ”

Rodgers isn’t the fictional “Anti-vaxxer”, and he hasn’t “fallen from grace”. To call you people ‘pieces of shit’ would insult the shit that normal people take most mornings.
Never stop being a rag unworthy of picking up dog crap, Guardian — I wouldn’t recognize the world without your trash.
BY the way, I was never an Aaron Rodgers or a Packers fan, but now that the right “people” hate him, he’s my new best friend, Guardian.
#metoo. Let’s go Aaron!
Right?
By the way, this is the treatment I expect to get from everyone when I “come out” myself. I can’t wait!
FWIW, the posters on the Packers forums where I’m a member almost unanimously turned on Rodgers on a dime.
Rodgers should call the league’s vaccine rules a form of slavery so that the media will lionize him the way they did Kaepernick.

Objections among certain vendors over President Joe Biden’s vaccine mandate for federal contractors are reaching an inflection point. As the deadline for workforce vaccination approaches, some trucking companies are mulling whether to end their work with the federal government altogether, according to two industry insiders.
In an interview, the American Trucking Associations’ executive vice president for advocacy Bill Sullivan told POLITICO that some companies may simply decide that the cost of the mandate is not worth the government’s checks. Sullivan said he has raised concerns to the White House, Office of Management and Budget and other executive branch officials. He noted that if companies drop their contracts, it may be harder to get certain foods to troops, transport fuel for military vehicles, or even deploy the National Guard.
——-
But interviews with more than a dozen industry advocates across the aerospace, distribution, defense and trucking sectors — some of whom have also been in discussions with administration officials — reveal they either have little confidence they will be able to meet the Dec. 8 deadline for their workers to receive their first vaccine shot or expressed concerns about difficulties the mandate would pose on their labor force.
What makes those guys think participation in those government contracts is optional? That’s what I’d like to know.
Looks like the “conversations” worked.
Oh, glorious day.
The demands have led to a notable uptick in the vaccination rates across various industries. Public health officials have credited them with helping the country stem the spread of the Delta variant. And the White House points to major companies such as United Airlines and Tyson that have seen overwhelming compliance among its workforce. United Airlines announced in September that 97 percent of its employees had been vaccinated, demonstrating that there is only a small fraction of those who oppose the mandate and that ultimately, the mandate worked.
Yeah. Demonstrating you can accomplish more with a kind word and a gun than with a kind word alone, that is.
Take it. It’s good for you. OR ELSE.
Fomenting resentful employees is a winning long term strategy.

I could buy a house for that much! and the gas/diesel? good luck.
I could straight up live in that thing. Just park it under an awning of some sort and you’d be set for a decade at least.
And pay space rent, and sewer cleanout, and water and don’t forget heating, at that point just buy a fucking house, IMO
Hell yeah! Go as much solar as possible and park it in a very rural section of Gulf Coast FL, AL, or, MS and live out the remainder of my days. Grey water goes to the ground, black water goes to a septic tank. Fresh water would be a my main concern. Rainwater collection would be decent, a condensing collector might work, although my dad field tested and Air-Well (underground condensing chamber/collector with two tall inflow/outflow tubes for fresh air) for a couple years and the results were quite underwhelming in SW Florida.

This is what I don’t understand. Yes, there are obvious situations such as if the woman is crying and telling you to stop, you stop. But what does “constantly reiterated” mean in a legal sense? Like you have to hold a dead-man switch during the entire encounter to indicate continuous consent and if you let it go, consent is retroactively revoked? It’s hard for me to understand how such a concept can be enforced in a fair and meaningful way.
I think that’s the point, foreseeable consequences not being unintended and all.
It isn’t meant to be enforced in a fair and meaningful way. All of the left’s culture war nonsense is designed to make society dysfunctional, be design.

At least that’s how I read things – since it looks like this is a version the Senate already voted on, just cleared the House – so I assume it is going right to the Drooler in Chief now.

The embassy confirmed in a statement to Interfax news agency that a Russian diplomat had died but said it was “not commenting on this tragic event for ethical reasons”.
“Ethical reasons”. That’s a new euphemism.
“Particularly because some of them had contracts – contracts that had questionable legality, and sometimes were even totally legally void. But in the world of pornography, as soon as someone has a contract, people aren’t going to dig deeper or check if it’s valid or not.”
Maybe things are a little different in France. I saw a video where the folks behind kink dot com (obfuscated so I don’t risk hitting the link limit or spam checker) went over their contracts and what they do before a shoot to make sure everyone understands what they are getting into. Those contracts are quiet thorough and I’d be surprised if they weren’t legally valid.
Nine factions opposed to Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed have joined forces to seek a political transition. Ethiopia has been mired in violent conflict for over a year. The US Embassy is now urging all its citizens to leave.

Picking up from last night’s discussion of Job:
@Cannoli, I see your point and I went to bed on that thought. It’s something I’ve thought about frequently, hell being stripped of God’s presence. I am not convinced that such people WANT to be in God’s presence at all and thus, justice (being sent to hell) and mercy (getting what you want) are both served. In a vacuum, I like the IDEA of a place of eternal torment for evil, but I don’t like the idea you can go there if you fail to recognize Jesus as savior.
@OMWC, I can take Job as an allegory. I get the point of it completely. I always have. However, Christians usually view Scripture as something that really happened. Maybe it’s unreliable, but it’s seen as *actual history*. I speak on it in that context without nodding to its allegorical nature.
@Trashy, I think our theological differences aren’t as wide as you might think. My church teaches Job the way yours does. (We also use KJV exclusively.) It’s just something I’ve been thinking about for a while (read: many years).
So I also struggle with the story of Job, but one of the things I realized as I was thinking about it last night is that the things God permits Satan to do to Job (taking away his fortune, his children, and his health) are things that God permits to happen to almost everyone. We all lose loved ones, we all face financial difficulties, and we all lose our health eventually. So we’re back to the Problem of Pain, which is hard, but I don’t think Job is a unique example.
Yes, I see your point. There’s not much daylight between the (active, blatant) bet over Job and our own struggles.
As an aside, I highly recommend C.S. Lewis’s book The Great Divorce. The whole thing is an exploration of the idea of people being in Hell because they WANT to be.
Thanks for the rec. I’ll get it.

Yeah, the no prior notification thing is really bad form. Our guy would even call if he found a way to save money as well. He would get excited if he found a cheaper part. The 2 body shops I’ve taken the trucklet to so far were rather unwilling to do a cash transaction and kept pushing an insurance claim and a rental car, and assorted price padding options.
Did you check the thermostat?
Just when you thought United couldn’t get worse: https://domesticemployers.org/hand-in-hand-grieves-the-loss-of-engracia-figueroa/
Plus, all the failure points in the health system that lead to her death.
That’s horrific.
WTF is that? Who destroys wheelchairs? What is the rationale?
Let me guess….security theater.
I didn’t even think of that, I figured there was an accident, but that makes more sense.
I’m curious as to where and why it happens with such frequency. Is it an overly vigorous inspection process, ham-handed baggage handling, what the Devil is going on down at the aerodrome?
No, custom chairs don’t fit in passenger compartment (according to airline) so must be put in luggage compartment. Apparently, they break lots.

You’re not allowed to hurt yourself, only we can hurt you!

Did drugs fall out of his ass when he was tased???
Yes and caught on fire.
Why are my friends idiots? They didn’t used to be.
Good friend celebrating that her 8yo (or 10, I don’t remember) just got the jab.
W.T.F., B?
Does she hate the kid?
Doesn’t everybody hate kids?
It’s astronomically unlikely Covid will hurt her kid now.
Also it was before the vaccine.
It’s equally dismaying to see people treating it as a grand occasion.
People seem to actually believe that this means “the world goes back to normal”. And if it takes injecting your child with a substance that is more dangerous to them than the plague, well ??♂️.
Apropos: Stinky Inky op-ed from a parent who got her kid vaccinated:
On Thursday, my 7-year-old got her first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. It was one of the best days we’ve had in a long time.
It’s a certain type of parent who books an appointment for the first day the city starts offering vaccines to kids ages 5-11. So when I walked into the hot, noisy gym at the Waterview Rec Center in Germantown, I felt like I had found my people.
We’re in the minority, as only one-quarter of parents say they plan to get their kids ages 5-11 vaccinated against COVID-19 right away. This isn’t a total surprise, as there’s a lot of misinformation out there about the vaccine in children, including fringe videos suggesting the shots could cause ridiculous side effects. When I picked my kid up from school early to go to the appointment, she asked if the vaccine could turn her blood purple. (I’m still not sure where she got that idea, which I quickly dispelled.)
*snort*
The world has gone insane.
Libertarian moment?
Dammit.

I never thought I’d see something like this on a GOPe outlet like Fox.
I think FOX commentators have a wide latitude to express themselves vs the other networks where they are spoon fed opinions and dialog.
It aint perfect but FOX isn’t even on the same planet with the paid shills everyone else has mouthing talking points.
I missThe Independents.
That was an interesting political show.
Forgive me if I turn a skeptical eye to the fentanyl fentanyl fentanyl in conservative outlets. Feels like every other drug panic of the moment.
How many people here make gestures to attempt to clarify their words while on phone calls where the other person can’t see you?
I still make that mistake…
I’m northern European stock – I don’t gesture even in real life.
Dutch stock here. Moving my arms around sounds a little bit to much like dancing. I’ll pass.

That using a rag and hottest iron to get wax out of your carpet thing really works.
These euphemisms are getting kinky.

Nice.
I started laughing the first time I saw the business name and logo in Boise. Had to explain it to my wife and point out the details. Ohhh… /Edith
