No junk mail from stores, not even before Black Friday.

I get very little junk mail.

“U.S. white supremacists blamed for targeting Aboriginal Australians with coronavirus vaccine misinformation
The leader of Western Australia has blamed white supremacists in the United States for spreading online misinformation about coronavirus vaccines among Aboriginal people in his state.
Premier Mark McGowan, whose state is home to the city of Perth, told reporters Thursday that the groups did not have the best interests of Australia’s First Nations people at heart and “wouldn’t be unhappy if bad outcomes occurred” to them. He urged Indigenous people to listen to medical experts about vaccines instead.
McGowan said he was made aware of the misinformation by local leaders. A senior Aboriginal affairs official in Western Australia, Wanita Bartholomeusz, said some misinformation was coming from Facebook groups, including one that had a cover image of former U.S. president Donald Trump. She also said inaccurate information is being relayed to Aboriginal communities and that the material was linked back to groups in the United States, according to the Australian Broadcasting Corp. (ABC).”
https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2021/12/03/australia-aboriginal-coronavirus-vaccine-misinformation/
Does anyone even know a white supremacist?
Personally?
… not that I can think of.
What can’t the boys in shorts and Hawaiian shirts do? A force to be reckoned with.
Yeah, whatever Mark. Now let’s talk about the concentration camps you’re running for the Aboriginals.
Those are in NT, not WA.
I should add, however, that the news reports I’ve heard about the WA Premier consistently make him out to be a snotty asshole towards people he wants to vilify politically.
Isn’t it true about every single Premier in Australia? I admit I’ve never heard anything about the one in Tasmania. But it’s never too late.
Dammit.
Well, since they’re redefining white supremacy as “Western Civilization, self reliance, work ethic, etc.” — yeah, I dare say a lot of us are by that standard. And if they keep pushing it, I think there’s going to be a non-trivial amount of folks who end up deciding if that’s what it means, that’s what they are — and then SHTF soon after.
So I really wish they’d knock this crap off. But I know they won’t.
They don’t seem to comprende that, in the race war they seem to so desperately want, the untermenschen may just fight back.
Totally unrelated.

Come on Aboriginals, as always the Australian government only has your best interest in mind.
That is quite a blanket statement to make TOK.
It’s a small assertion pocked with complexities.
Careful, such a comment might boomerang on you.
You mean I might end up Roo-ing prematurely hopping to a conclusion?
You guys must be burning the midnight oil thinking of these.
Subtle. Me like!
Not in excess.
I just unsubscribed from Quilette after that garbage article accusing right wing nutjobs of trying to scare people with inappropriate comparisons of the National Resilience Camps to concentration camps. 🙄
They are concentration camps… by definition. And the fact that people keep trying to escape and are being hunted down is kind of a clue that they aren’t places people are choosing voluntarily to go to.
I expect that a year or two from now, Quilette will be folding.
CENTRES, tarran. They are National Resilience Centres.
SAWN-trees?
Me too. I used to read Quilette all the time but this past year, they’ve adopted a somewhat authoritarian attitude with regards to COVID.
Does anyone even know a white supremacist?
I see a few floating around Gab, but it’s an easy block when they start going all ZeroHedge or start talking about sub-human savages.
Most of the people who are labeled as white supremacists, even on a site like Gab where legit, no shit racists aren’t run off, are just people who strongly reject the idea that whiteness is inherently oppressive, privileged, or deserving of guilt.
I know a couple. Somewhat disturbingly, both of them are ex-libertarians.
Ah, the infamous pipeline.
Cantwell?
No, not sure who Cantwell is. The folks I’m thinking of aren’t anyone well known.
OFFS.
I guess they’re not propagandaing hard enough if Trump’s minions slipped through.
Does anyone even know a white supremacist?
A relative of mine used to be friends with a Klansman.
As far as we could tell, he was an actual Klansman and not a FBI plant.
All the ones I ever met, that were actually iconic supremacists like out of a comic book, spent their time beating up / mugging other white people.
I have a relative that worked for Quantas airlines like 60 years ago in Australia as an American.
The thing that got him to quit and leave an otherwise amazing Australia was Socialism. Well, Socialism dressed as Unionism. His beef was that lunch times were set and he had to take lunch.
One might think this is trivial but as incrementalism goes, its little thing added to little thing.
Now australia has literally brought back concentration camps. This is not an overreaction as concentration camps were designed for political enemies of the state. Death camps were used by nazis to kill people, en masse.
If people are not shocked, there is something off about them.
I wonder if I watched this video years ago and forgot. With hindsight, it’s funny and cringy.

Brief rant before I go to bed- yet another reason why G_d hates me.
Sunday I drunkenly ordered a “”docking station” from Amazon for the iPad(s) and/or SurfacePro(s) laying around here. Im trying to force myself to use them more, and it seems that using a regular keyboard and displays will help me do that, Amazon promised delivery by 10p yesterday. I was off Wednesday night, giddy with mild expectations of playing with the new peripheral before going into work, which happens around 10p.
All day long, multiple checks of the front porch, no Amazon.
I leave last night around 10…nearly backed over the fucker as he was delivering the package.
That is a lot of words to just say you got stood up on Grindr
Dude, Im Army not Navy.
And you expect them to deliver farm animals to a residential address in the *daylight?*
nearly backed over the fucker as he was delivering the package.

I never get deliveries that late.
Oh, UPS will show up with my VA meds that require a signature as late as 8, when Im dead-to-the-world asleep.
And ring the doorbell numerous times.

In the latest “hypocritical politician gives advice for thee, but not for me” news:
Israeli PM Bennett sends family abroad on vacation despite telling Israelis they shouldn’t travel abroad
The minute the first politician did this, it should have signaled to the whole of the people that it was okay to venture out.
?
Whatever faith I had in humanity has been erased in the last two years. We’re just a bunch of stupid sheep.
What was disheartening was when it was exposed that a lot politicians broke their own mandates and still people would defend them and follow their orders.
Even Jimmy Swaggart would beg forgiveness when he got caught banging hookers. These guys don’t even bother and they’re still given a pass.
It’s because they know that most of their constituents are willing to put their own chains on and never take them off. Newsome despite telling his constituents to go fuck themselves plenty of times, dude still won a recall and did so because he was able to persuade people that what he did was for the best.
The whole point is to do what you prohibit the commoners to do.
Governor Pritzker did the same thing. Had our asses on lockdown while his family went to less restrictive places like Florida and Wisconsin for long periods of time. It’s their way of smearing their feces on our faces and demand that we tell them thank you for the honor.
You people accepted it.
Columbia student killed, Italian tourist hurt by knife attacker in NYC
Police say the first attack happened late Thursday when a Columbia University student was attacked in Manhattan’s Morningside Heights. The 30-year-old man, Davide Giri, died of his injuries.
Oh, joy. My goddaughter recently moved to NYC (Washington Heights) from Florida along with the BF who is enrolled in a graduate PT program at Columbia. Her dad was adamantly opposed to the move (hates NY after living there most of his life) and will be apoplectic when he gets wind of this. Looks like I’ll be playing peacemaker again…

Yep. Just need leather jacket, hat, beads, and peace pipe. And something for the peace pipe, of course. Mellow.
Looks like I’ll be playing peacemaker again
Why?
Her dad needs to be talked down at times like this. Retired Homeland Security, he can be difficult.
Im not saying that people that MOVE to cities deserve what crime befalls them but at this point I told you so.
Cities are cesspools and the democrats that run those cities refuse to let Americans defend themselves with guns.

White supremacist backlash
How many Americans know that the claim that anti-racism is harmful to white people is one of the basic mantras of white-supremacist ideology? Americans are familiar with white-supremacist movements like the Klan, skinheads, neo-Nazis, and the Proud Boys. But they don’t seem to recognize white-supremacist ideology—the most venomous form of racist ideology. I suspect that many Americans don’t know how much white-supremacist ideology shapes their political thought and America’s political discourse, and allows juries to exonerate racism and convict anti-racism.
With his anti-white mania graphic, Tucker Carlson yet again presented the most dangerous mantra in American politics: Attacks on racism are really attacks on white Americans that lead to white people being harmed. “Anti-racism is anti-white” is the old and explosive mantra of avowed white supremacists. It has been their organizing vehicle, fueling their rage, fueling their backlashes, fueling their delusions.
All year long, this white-supremacist mantra has been fueling what Martin Luther King Jr. once called the “white backlash” against last year’s racial reckoning. It is inciting voter-suppression policies and insurrections (to protect white political supremacy). It is inciting swarms of lies, insults, threats, and simulated killings of anti-racist Americans (who are branded as anti-white). It is inciting the false claim that anti-racist books and education are harmful to white children. It is inciting bans of those books and lessons. It is inciting the second assassination of King to justify those bans.
White resentment at baselessly being called racist proves how racist white people really are.
Crawl back under your rock, Kendi.
Ibram Kendi was born in NYC in 1982. He benefited from affirmative action all his life at the expense of people with a different skin color.
Kendi is a grifting piece of shit selling religion mostly to those who have rejected the idea of a higher power.
he most dangerous mantra in American politics: Attacks on racism are really attacks on white Americans
You can call it “attacks on racism”, but anyone paying attention knows “anti-racism” really is attacks on white Americans.
Isn’t that guy opposed to MLK’s whole “content of our character” thing?
Clearly.
I ask because he’s quoting MLK above. I suppose that could be an effort to seem acceptable and mainstream.
Yes, and he is not alone.

I don’t care what you sensitive pussies say, if this guy’s parents had named him David he’d still be alive today.
When staff of the University of Minnesota’s Carlson School of Management raised concerns about the surging delta variant at a September meeting, Dean Sri Zaheer told them to “chill out and get over it” because people die every day from other causes.
Zaheer also told staff who wanted to work remotely to avoid infection that she knows they miss their “afternoon naps and watching ‘The Bold and the Beautiful’ at noon,” according to an Oct. 13 letter Carlson staff sent to Zaheer demanding an apology.

Why are they testing zoo animals?
Can’t be too careful. Lots of kids go to the zoo. At least they used to.
Almost makes you wonder if Covid is some naturally occurring protein string that is commonplace but we’ve never noticed before since we never tested for it obsessively before.
It makes the conspiratorial part of my brain run hard.
It’s a variation of a common cold virus. isn’t it? Pretty commonplace, that’s why it’s called the common cold. Time to start testing for the hundreds of cold viruses, in case they mutate into something more sinister. And get right on developing vaccines, to save humanity.
About 10-15% of common colds are various coronaviruses.
About 80% or so are rhinoviruses.
But are the zoos testing the rhinos?
I bet the raccoons haven’t gotten the Rona. Because they are masked.
Boooo!
Are you mocking the goat in the zoo’s petting zoo who has a speech disorder?
Sorry, my baaad.
He really had to paw through the trash dump for that one.
*Golf clap
Has anyone actually seen a study that has shown the virus in animals? Isn’t this broad of a cross species virus unique and not really heard of?
I saw one about deer. Don’t have the link handy.
Be sure to vaccinate the deer before you shoot it.
They’re vaccinating zoo animals against covid. Everything is retarded.
Cats seem to be able to get it. A couple of snow leopards in Ohio got it.
Maybe its unusually broad base is part of the “gain of function” the virus experienced?
Denmark euthanized minks that had Covid.
All sorts of viruses jump species in mammals. Ebola, swine flu, sars-COVID….
Regarding the MI school shooter. How can they try the teen as an adult, but then also claim the parents contributed to the manslaughter? If that is the case, then as someone else mentioned, the school administration should also be charged with neglect in the matter.
I might be able to square all that if they tried him as a minor, but if you are treating him as an adult, then his actions are his own.
Maybe there’s some quirk of MI law that lets them be charged with the same crime if they negligently provided him access to weapons that he used?
I think that’s it.
Some states have laws about safe storage of firearms.
NH’s simply states that gun owners have to store firearms such that unauthorized persons don’t have access to them.
This article implies Michigan doesn’t have such laws. I skimmed the wiki article, and saw nothing about storage. I dug into some of the sources, and I see nothing about a storage law.
All gun control laws are unconstitutional.
Safe storage laws= invalid law
Access to weapon laws= invalid law

Kid hurt others so he is responsible or his parents are responsible if kids (under 18) are not legally responsible for their behavior.
You cant have it both ways. Where you have kids unable to buy guns and alcohol until 21 but charge a 15 year old as an adult. Its made up bullshit lunacy.
Another thing that chaps my hide is police circumventing the right to effective assistance of counsel by interrogating kids (under 18) without parents present.
Once again, you cant deny kids the ability to do adult things then say that they acted like an adult and did not need to be protected by a parent or guardian.
Apparently, the parents were not cooperating with the school about the kid’s behavior (or possible mental problem).
A juvenile could have adult accessories.

White-supremacist ideology lives on what Heather McGhee calls the “zero-sum myth,” the idea that progress for people of color necessarily comes at white folks’ expense. This zero-sum myth erases the past and present of abolitionist and anti-racist movements, which have aided ordinary white people. It fearmongers about the future: If white people are not worshipped in schools, then they will be demonized; if white people don’t reign supreme, then they will be subjugated; if white people don’t hoard resources and opportunities, then they will be starved; if white people cannot kill at will, then they will be killed at will. White violence is presumed to be self-defense. Defending yourself against a white supremacist is presumed to be a criminal act.
That’s funny. It appears to me that the so-called anti-racists believe the only way to gain ground is to take it from white people.
I put on a paranormal show for background noise. It’s funny. In the episode about cryptids, Alaska is so massive that it’s easy for unidentified large mammals to hide, in another, it’s so small that a plane can’t crash and be undiscovered in the following search, so it must have vanished into a vortex or been abducted by aliens.
I put on a paranormal show
For who? Seems sort of morbid to put on a bunch of skits about ghosts and such for kids stuck in a hospital.
Exactly what sorts of gloves do you wear for a paranormal show?
Skeptic gloves.
Stupid Travel Channel hasn’t had a show about travel in years. All ghosts all the time.
Rather like the way you really have to dig to find shows about history on The History Channel.
And don’t get me started on TLC – the so-called “Learning” Channel. ::shudders:: They abandoned any pretense to learning long ago.
I’ve ranted many times about these exact two channels to whatever unfortunate souls are in my house at the moment. Usually over the din of a TV program about pimple popping, ancient aliens, or a family of little people.
…and then there’s the “American Heroes Channel,” AKA AHC, which seems poised to become the Aliens & Hitler Channel.
Yes. Which was the Military Channel or somesuch before being rebranded. The place where they dumped all of the programs they stopped showing on the History Channel.
The reason it is easy to find bears, wolves etc in Alaska is because in the vast majority of the state there is nothing to eat. Go where there is something to eat and that’s where the big critters are.
Sasquatch, Big Foot, Steve Smith….whatever…unless it eats evergreen leaves would be a snap to find.
I know, I know….’I want to believe’.
Oh, not sure if you’re on Not A, but Zacks said they were sold out of Henrys for a while. They’re all on backorder.
Extreme fear perhaps breeds this extreme fear. White supremacists probably fear revenge, retaliation, the tables turning—as they wipe the blood of democracy, of equality, of the dying and dead off their hands. Like the enslavers of old sleeping with guns under their pillows, they know the level of brutality they have leveled against people of color and their white allies. They probably can’t imagine that Indigenous anti-racists just want their land back and aren’t genocidal; that Black anti-racists just want reparations and don’t want to enslave; that Asian anti-racists just want to be visible and don’t want to render white people invisible; that Latino and Middle Eastern anti-racists just want to flee violence and don’t want to invade predominantly white nations.
Oh, well, in that case; sure, why not?
I don’t see a problem.
Got bad news for you bub. I ain’t willingly giving shit back.
This implies that you took something…
They certainly think I did. I’m not going to argue the point because they’re not going to be convinced otherwise.
I wish I had know about this reparations stuff before I paid a company $30 to “ethically” recycle a huge amount of computer
junkequipment.Could have killed two birds with one stone. Paid off my reparations debt AND cleaned out my basement.
people of color and their white allies
Whoa! I didn’t think that it was possible for white people to be true allies of the Noble POC’s. Is that code for white wimmen?
I cant give back what I never took.
Two important foundations of the Christian religion are A) We dont lay the sins of the father on the sons and B) redemption – this is the corner stone of the entire religion.

Stop with the race hustling and picking at 150 year old scabs. In short, stop being scum.
Surprising
The Mexican government threatened legal action Thursday over provisions of U.S. President Joe Biden’s Build Back Better Act that would give subsidies of up to $12,500 for purchases of union-made, American-made electric vehicles.
Tatiana Clouthier, Mexico’s secretary of the economy, said the bill currently before the U.S. Senate would violate non-discrimination clauses of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada free trade pact.
Clouthier said the measure would discriminate against potential exports of Mexican-built electrical vehicles and favor domestic producers, something she said is forbidden under the USMCA pact.
“We would apply trade reprisals,” Clouthier said, apparently referring to possible tariffs. “This bill is not consistent with the U.S. obligations under the TMC and the rules of World Trade Organization.”
Don’t they understand Joe was elected Absolute Ruler of the Earth?

I think the words you’re looking for are “church bells” – balls as big as church bells.
The bill is expected to come up for a vote in the Senate in mid-December. According to a White House statement, “the framework’s electric vehicle tax credit will lower the cost of an electric vehicle that is made in America with American materials and union labor by $12,500 for a middle-class family.”
THIS IS WHAT THEY REALLY BELIEVE.
“union labor”
Ah, the Pro-Union, I mean, anti-Tesla clause.
It is what they want you to believe. I dont know how much of their own bullshit they actually buy themselves. I know it is a non-zero percentage but how much I cannot say.

I would think that benches with dividers would be more effective than slanted benches. Or they could have cops making the rounds tell the homeless to not sleep on the benches.
But Demi Rose wouldn’t be able to sit down on one of those.

3) Devil’s Lake, ND?!??! The only reason that North Dakotans go to Devil’s Lake is because the pressure ridges on the lake make the frozen lake more hilly than the surrounding area and rubes like Mike S go there to “climb” up for the view.
Hmmmm. I would say something about fishing in Louisiana but I dont want a bunch of furriners coming south to catch our fish.

Those are ugly fish.
Those are nice crappies. Our locals run 3 to a pound.
Ignore UCS’s comment, crappies are beautiful, even with black-white film cameras.
A not-so-bright guy wanted to go ice fishing*. He’d seen many books on the subject, and finally, after getting all the necessary “tools” together, he made for the nearest frozen lake. After positioning his comfy footstool, he started to make a circular cut in the ice.
Suddenly —from the sky— a voice boomed, “THERE ARE NO FISH UNDER THE ICE!”
Startled, the Texan moved further down the ice, poured a Thermos of cappuccino,
began to cut yet another hole. Again, from the heavens, the voice bellowed,
“THERE ARE NO FISH UNDER THE ICE!”
The guy, now quite worried, moved way down to the opposite end of the ice, set up his stool, and tried again to cut his hole. The voice came once more:
“THERE ARE NO FISH UNDER THE ICE!”
He stopped, looked skyward, and said, ” Is that you LORD?”
The voice replied, “No, I am the Manager of this Ice-Arena!” ‘
* I (a native born Minnesodan) have never been ice fishing.
What do you have against cold feet and stiff, chapped hands ?
Devil’s Lake is the Perch Capitol of the World. Don’t be jelly.
First picture looks like the guy has 3 tip-ups, even the local game wardens can count that high.
Ooops, second picture
Think this guy also stole from Fords, Toyotas or Chevy’s?
Running behind on reading this week’s articles- just wanted to note that it looks like the official glibs Twitter posting acct is on hiatus or something. Would have assumed that it was set to auto-post after the site updated – but maybe not.
lulz
There must have been some auto motive for the crime.
We don’t have the data behind this…but trust us, be afraid!

Ugh
It is an hour long, but its about an elderly lady that got into gaming and YT streaming.

THE CHOSEN ONE KNOWN AS RIVEN IS IN A BIT OF A BIND
Is this a euphemism? Or is Riven in a bit of trouble?
Uganda said on Friday that its troops sent this week into eastern Democratic Republic of Congo would stay as long as needed to defeat Islamist militants, with the progress of the mission to be evaluated after two months.
Their version of Afghanistan?
Aupetit told Le Point he didn’t have sexual relations with the woman.
Where have I heard this before?
Authorities said Friday that a graduate college student and a tourist were stabbed in New York City at two different locations, but likely by the same attacker in what appear to be random attacks.
How long until NYC gets strong knife control?
Riven is fine….schedule difficulties.
It’s good that she’s fine.
“bit of a bind” would be Creosote.
GOOD. GOOD. BUT GET BACK TO ZARDOZ WITH SOME CASUALTIES, YES?
I remembered smells seeing the opening photo.
“#DonaldTrump should be arrested for attempted murder. He tried to infect & kill #JoeBiden at the debate; by turning up too late to be tested, knowing full well he was positive; then screeched, sputtered, spit, and foamed at the mouth, hoping to infect Joe. He IS the devil.”

Don’t read the comments.
Too late. I was having a good evening. There are two different universes and it makes me sad.
I like their version of the world, too bad Trump failed in his attempt.
How did he fail? Trump expose some real lunatics, well technically, they exposed themselves.
Anyone who thinks that the situation about Trump’s 3 COVID tests equals murder or attempted murder is a lunatic who has a tenuous grasp on reality.
I guarantee that Bette Middler was never ranting about Annual flu infected murdering someone else.
They used to lock these people up and use straight jackets on them.
What the heck, I love Trump.
what debate is the dumb bitch talking about?
Bette Midler is a very low IQ individual.
AKA, a fucking idiot.
Maybe. I think the bigger issue is she’s probably mentally ill.
That’s something I hadn’t considered…and would make a lot of sense. Somebody who actual cares for the old bitch should disconnect her internet.
What the hell is she gibbering about?
Missed OBE’s post this afternoon, but want to let him know he’s not alone. I am also resigning from federal service, I didn’t get the chance to see if they were going to approve my exemption or not, because I ended up finding a job posting a bit more, so I wasn’t about to pass it up just to find out of they were going to fire me.
You’ll find another great technical job, best of luck brother.
I agree. There are lots of technical jobs out there and very few applicants. I wish you the best, and also will offer my services as a resume writer if necessary. There are companies out there that have no desire to deal with the vaccine madness which will welcome you.
I neglected to chime in as well:
Your commitment to principles is badass, OBE.
Crazy off-topic game link.

Funeral tomorrow, the deceased had health related problems.
I didn’t see it until today; I really enjoyed your story about the fishing trips. You didn’t explain the bikini-clad girls in the pic tho…
Do bikini clad girls need an explanation?
More pics is what we need.
Yeah, I noticed too – the ladies and the lack of explanation.
