Perky little tune to attenuate your rage.
SMELLS LIKE INFRINGEMENT: San Jose, California, imposes fees, insurance requirements on gun owners. Mayor Sam Liccardo said a new fee for gun owners would support “evidence-based initiatives to reduce gun violence and gun harm.” Translation: “fuck you, because we can, and we have you by the nuts until you litigate this, and we’ll still have you on a list even if you win.” We suspect there will be a lot of tragic boating accidents in the near future.
HEADLINE WRITING for DUMMIES: Tattooed OnlyFans star with two vaginas begged to share her ‘delicious’ breastmilk. So, Daily Star, her tattoos are somehow the most interesting thing about her? And that she’s an OnlyFans personality is the second most interesting thing? Needless to say, humorless feminists are outraged by all this. Lactation and pregnancy pornography is an upsettingly fast growing genre. Please, nobody tell her what ANR means.
A PROPER SHITSHOW: Lebanon [OH] City Schools is asking the public not to gather or protest on school property ahead of the first meeting of the After-School Satan Club, which will take place at Donovan Elementary School Thursday. Superintendent Isaac Seevers concluded the letter by asking the public to refrain from gathering or protesting on or around school grounds. Fuck you, Isaac, the 1A rights of any wannabe protesters are just as valid as the 1A rights of the Satanic Temple. There is nobody to like here.
SINEMA-MANCHIN DERANGEMENT SYNDROME: But [Breyer’s resignation] raises the question of whether the President will face a repeat of the Build Back Better battle, with just two Democrats tanking the party’s ability to move forward and allowing the Republican minority to rule the roost.
HEARTLESS REPUBLICAN HATES CHILDREN, FAMILIES: Sen. Ron Johnson says it’s not ‘society’s responsibility’ to care for ‘other people’s children’ while arguing against child-care subsidies for working parents. Could you use any more shock quotes in that sentence, Business Insider?

ANWR.
Two vagina lady has some really ugly tats.
I read that as “…really ugly twa…” oh never mind.
Probably.
And fake lips. Which are just as big a turn-off as fake tits.
Bigger, at least some fake tits look nice.
Seriously, they have a Satan Club in elementary school?
They love pushing the boundaries. It’s what they live for.
Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s just an edgy, fake-n-gay version of See You At The Pole.
The only after school club in elementary school I recall was latchkey.
It’s a tit-for-tat situation:
If they wait until Jr. High, the Dems already will own their souls.
Why are there any religious after school clubs held on school grounds for elementary school kids?
I see no issue with it, you just have to accept you are going to get ‘fringe’ clubs like we are seeing here. It is either none or all, can’t pick and choose.
I would almost say that there should be no consideration at all that they happen to be religious. Banning them for that reason isn’t much better favoring one religion over another. This isn’t France or Turkey. Geeze.
My goal in elementary school was get home ASAP, we lived a mile away, change clothes and try to rustle up some locals for play time. I have one really great friend, still today, that lived right across the street, we planned the afternoon on the way home from school. He was an only child, dad had a good job, and my friend had a lot of nice toys. They even had a full size pool table down the basement, which of course was finished out in light knotty pine.
We would not have been interested in any after school clubs. OTOH, mothers mostly were at home, my friend’s mom frequently baked cakes, she was very polite and would always ask me to ask my mother if I could enjoy her hospitality (and my Mom always said yes). Same in junior high, get home, get a baseball/football/skis etc. Play outside, then inside in inclement weather.
The offensive part is the government school, not the religious clubs.
What else would you call the faculty lounge these days?

Anything short of rule by decree is the death of DEMOCRACY!
I don’t think it will unfortunately.
I’ve already seen the usual suspects saying they plan to lay down in the Senate because “it won’t change the balance of the Court” or somesuch.
But I thought the Dems loved bipartisanship!!
Now they prefer votes to be strictly along party lines?
They love whatever lets them get what they want.
This. Anything else is just window dressing.
Look… 48 Senators is an overwhelming mandate/majority. To stand in the way of that is to be against Progress and Democracy!

Now it’s not just COVID misinformation that’s deadly, climate gets in on the game,

The episode meanders into a discussion on energy sources, where Peterson alleges, with zero factual basis, that “more people die every year from solar energy than die from nuclear”.
Well that took all of 15 seconds to google.
ROOFS!
Fucking idiots
Impressive levels of dipshittery by journalos, as per usual.
Were the DESTROYED by FACTS and LOGIC?
I’m listening to the podcast now, nothing wacky at all in what JP has to say,
He’s a little long winded, but the TLDL is the solution to climate change is more energy, probably in the form of nuclear. And climate models are junk.
The first rule of climate change club is that any form of nuclear is off the table. The second rule is to never talk about the first rule.
Climate change, along with Covid mitigation and anti-nuclear stances, are all arguments from a Malthusian point of view. That there are “too many” people, and it’s killing us.
There rarely is. Peterson is usually incredibly careful with his pronouncements. And, really, it’s not like he’s really all that much of an extremist. Up until all of fifteen minutes ago, most people would have considered him a hard centrist.
“In general, I don’t like to use the tax code for either economic or social engineering. I think we do a terrible job. I prefer a tax code that was simple, that was rational, that treated all income equally,” Johnson said in response to a question about the child tax credit.

But… but… then people would have to think for themselves and take care of themselves. (Insert the pandering condescension of your choice here.)

Yep. I have to work my ass off this week at my real job. I have “Zen and the Art of Pinball Machine Maintenance” in iCloud. And also two more GlibFlicks. I will strive to finish this weekend.
I got nothing. My creative streaks come in spurts. Like Winstons Mom. I tried to start writing a piece about my lunch. Cream of Asparagus soup with ground beef and chicken but it just sounds flat.

But the reality is likely to be messier. With the midterms approaching, Senate Republicans are likely to oppose the nomination — whoever it is — and use it to rally the base. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and his troops could warn that Biden’s pick will threaten constitutional rights and open the door to all sorts of dangerous decisions — whether it be protecting women’s reproductive rights, allowing for stronger controls of gun sales or permitting federal mandates for life-saving vaccines.
That there is some mighty fine journalisming.
Gosh, they’d oppose the nominee, whoever it is! Why, they’d raise objections to a judicial nominee committed to abortion, gun control, and vaccine mandates!
Life. Saving. Well, except the abortions… But let’s ignore that.
It’s almost like they think “whoever it is” is guaranteed to be someone who wants to shit all over the Constitution or something. I can’t imagine what would make them think that.
That’s my second-favorite quote from the article.
Also, “stronger controls of gun sales” is blatantly misleading. We’ve repeatedly seen attempts to impose onerous restrictions and unconstitutional infringements on gun owners.
“evidence-based initiatives to reduce gun violence and gun harm.”
He can go fuck himself.
On the topic of guns, I took delivery of a Lee-Enfield No. 4 Mk II made by the Pakistani Ordinance Factory. Externally, the rifle looks great. The seller said the bore is dark and pitted, but has great rifling. He sent a picture of the bore. Yep, it looks dark and pitted, but with rifling. The price was good, so I bought the rifle.
I checked the bore. My first thought was, “What is wrong with the muzzle end?” It looked like all sorts of gunk and possibly pitting. Maybe even a little ice/frost from condensation freezing? I started cleaning the bore. It’s grease. The bore might be mint. I will continue cleaning tonight and see.
Unfortunately, I think the barrel bedding is off. The downward pressure at the muzzle doesn’t exist like it should. I’ll have to take the rifle apart at some point to figure out what is wrong.
Im awaiting delivery of some Turkish knock-off of a Remington 870.in 20 gauge. Normally, I stay away from the knock-offs, but won the auction on gunbroker for an even hundo.
I will continue cleaning tonight and see.
All done. What was left in the bore was just grease. The bore is mint.
I love stories with happy endings.
Sweet!
“Glibs contributors are kindly asked to finish up anything you have in draft; we are running low on content.”
This is true. Also, we have a very large number of posts in “Draft” status – going back 2+ years.
I used the Leads/Submissions to give a heads-up about a story I put together earlier this month. Also have another that I sent directly to Tonio.
Never heard back anything on the first one.
Crap. I didn’t realize it was two stories. I’ll write you tomorrow.
You call yourselves Glibs?
No real Glib would have anything to do with a draft.
Glibs invoking selective service of its commentators is riding a thin red line.
But [Breyer’s resignation] raises the question of whether the President will face a repeat of the Build Back Better battle…
You know, you could always just pick a nominee that wouldn’t be a crapshow for not only Republicans, but even moderate Dems?
Good luck finding potential nominees, of either stripe, whose judicial philosophy can’t be distilled to “I AM THE LAWGHH!”.
Meh. The nominee is likely to go through without much of a problem. Dems are in the majority in the Sentae. It won’t change the ideological makeup of the court. The next presidential election is too far away. The Republicans are generally deferential to the President’s nominations, even when the President is a Dem, which I think is why McConnel didn’t want to risk a vote on Garland. And of course the Dems and the media will use the nominee’s sex and color as a shield.
yup

“Stella created the new costume for Minnie in honor of Women’s History Month, which takes place in March, and in celebration of the French park’s anniversary, explaining that the ensemble is meant to transform the cartoon into ‘a symbol of progress for a new generation’.
However, the move has been met with uproar online, where many are questioning why Minnie has been given a ‘woke’ new makeover, which comes in the same week that Disney found itself at the center of another furor over its upcoming live-action remake of Snow White, and amid increasing outrage over the studio’s haphazard attempts to present a more politically-correct image.
In the past two years, Disney has implemented several woke changes across its entire company, from adding racism warnings to several of its classic movies – including Peter Pan and The Jungle Book – to encouraging white staff members to ‘decolonize their bookshelves’ as part of anti-racism training.”

The U.S. economy notched its strongest growth in nearly four decades in 2021 after the government pumped trillions of dollars in COVID-19 relief, and is seen forging ahead despite headwinds from the pandemic, strained supply chains as well as inflation.
A surge in gross domestic product in the fourth quarter as businesses replenished depleted inventories to meet strong demand for goods was the final push. Last year’s robust growth reported by the Commerce Department on Thursday supports the Federal Reserve’s pivot towards raising interest rates in March.
Don’t worry. All that money went to investments in long term productivity. just ask them.
Yeesh.
Since GDP includes government spending, the real economy could have contracted and this would still be the result.
I wonder GDP ex government borrowing looks like.

ATF agents are asshoe
Agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives seized firearms from a Leacock Township property earlier this month and an Amish farmer at the property acknowledged selling guns without a federal firearms license.
They also arrested CRS Firearms. Who seems a bit of a tool, but the charge is bullshit.
Ugh, BusinessInsider is worse than Nikki.
I was just thinking of Nikki this week. There’s been a low scale passive resistance to the post office brewing in my neighborhood. Since we’ve been getting buried in snow, almost no one has bothered to shovel their front porch and walk off, just the driveways. The mailpeople have not been delivering to these houses (it’s pretty easy to tell as there’s no footprints in the snow other then animal ones).
It’s much less junk mail to deal with.
We were having this discussion in the other thread about my not being able to get past the stats on vaccines, but here’s another article buttressing the declining efficacy of covid vaccines.
https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/nearly-40-all-illinois-covid-deaths-last-month-are-breakthroughs-what-gives
This goes all the way up to last week which is data I haven’t seen yet and Illinois is about 65% vaccinated. You can just see the efficacy declining there.
It appears they were effective at first, but that declines over time and they don’t work well against new variants. I will give the benefit of the doubt and say rushing it through, they wouldn’t have seen that happening during the short trials. But at this point someone honest might say, “maybe this wasn’t the best approach” instead of “just give more of the same shots, I’m sure it will be ok.”
The moment they started talking about boosters it should have been over.
And that’s not addressing safety issues or the suppression of therapeutics.
I guess you can say it’s the largest example of the sunken cost fallacy in history.
Fuck Liccardo. He doesn’t care that people crap on the streets in San Jose. Instead he’s trying to ban gas in new homes, which makes housing even more expensive. He’s also the guy that had the cops route the attendees to the Republican convention around the block to the parking garage so they had maximum exposure to protestors who then attacked them. I don’t like wishing ill on many people, but it’s too bad he recovered from his bike accident.

“We are finally building an American economy for the 21st Century, and I urge Congress to continue this momentum by passing legislation to make America more competitive, bolster our supply chains, strengthen our manufacturing and innovation, invest in our families and clean energy, and lower kitchen table costs,” Biden said in a statement.
And, of course, they will do this by making every financial transaction subject to government scrutiny.
OFFS.
I’d support Congress doing that too. Of course none of his legislation in particular, and probably all the legislation of the last 20 years has done any such thing….

See, this is why Glibs shouldn’t shirk jury duty.
I don’t shirk. I’ve been summoned a half dozen times. I’ve only been questioned once. Am I supposed to lie to be on a jury?
I wouldn’t recommend lying, but I’m not a lawyer, and this is not any legal advice.
Just a general comment, since the usual response to getting called for jury duty is a string of suggestions for getting out of it. I’ve only been called once, wasted a week, never even got asked a question during selecting the jury.
It was fun watching the plaintiff and her lawyer’s panties moisten when I was questioned. Plus the hell no he must go from the defendant and her lawyer. What a joke. At least my company pays me full pay for that nonsense.
For godsakes don’t read the replies. I don’t think I’ve ever read anything that has drained my faith in humanity that fast. There really are people lining up around the block who believe that the criminal justice system should be used to punish wrongthink. The glaring lack of self-awareness is just incredible.
They want to kill you. Get that in your mind and it all makes sense.

And this is exactly why supporting bans on vaccine mandates isn’t anti-libertarian… it’s anti-fascism.
These vaccine mandates are supported by government databases and prosecuted by the government as separate offense in addition to trespassing. It goes far beyond freedom of association. Where are the damages to the owners of the Buffalos Bills stadium? There are no damages and no trespassing offenses.

Holy shit. But there is a silver lining – this is the perfect opportunity for a little ’60s -style revolutionary theater. Assemble about 20-30 unvaccinated knuckleheads with prescriptions at the target retailer and munch on popcorn while recording the ensuing chaos.
I recall when a group of enlisted soldiers would spread out into a long, broken line when they saw an officer they didn’t like approaching. Each soldier only had to salute for a short time.
In the Marines, we were more likely to mess with the officers we liked.
Different games for officers we liked, generally the same pranks we would play on each other.

I just wish they’d get the info right. It’s a Quebec Walmart, not a Canadian one. ”Canadian” Walmarts (like the one near me, approximately 4,000 kilometres west of the assholes that call themselves “Quebecois”) aren’t such hockey-stick-up-the-ass fascists, at least not yet.

How it’s going: https://iea.org.uk/iea-debate-will-the-2020s-be-a-good-decade-for-classical-liberals/
“Classical liberal” very willingly supported “social and economic havoc” and is shocked that this havoc is leading to a backlash against liberalism. Meanwhile Peter Hitchens, who hates pot, supports trade unions and renatiobalization, was right the whole time.
Also he supported massive increases in spending and government control and is shocked that this has resulted in massive increases in spending and government control.
But he’s not wrong:
Tell your mom I said Hi.
?
Effective institutions are inherently illiberal. They have traditions, they have hierarchy, they reward loyalty and punish treachery, they teach their own set of values, they resist secular state/cultural influence, etc. Liberalism will always tend toward the leveling of institutions that stand in the way of progress, which is to say, it would be paradoxical for liberalism to “strengthen […] institutions”.
Moreover, corruption is just a placeholder for “things that are bad”. One can just as well observe that corruption built most of New York City, corruption built a hundred bridges and a thousand miles of high-speed rail in China, corruption turned Dubai and Abu Dhabi from desert villages to gleaming metropoleis, etc. Material wellbeing is largely inseparable from “corruption” of one kind or another; money and power always find each other.
This paradox had been around for centuries and liberals have never properly addressed it. Liberals want constitutions but assume that the basic functions will never be amended or ignored since laissez faire economics will always be in favor. Jefferson thought that the constant Revolutions would somehow prevent tyranny, etc..
I love that song.
I hate San Jose, however.

Interesting. The last 80 years or so of libertarian thought was predicated on the assumption that US society and culture would be a permanent supporter of freedom. I mean this culture of freedom owes quite a lot to America’s Dissenting Protestant tradition so destroying that Dissenting Protestant tradition would obviously not undermine that culture of freedom, right?
Also wouldn’t restoring a culture of freedom require a Culture War?
Forgot link: https://www.trtworld.com/magazine/are-we-witnessing-the-death-of-american-soft-power-54048
As far as I can tell, progressivism is the logical successor to “America’s Dissenting Protestant tradition”. I don’t see the two as antithetical.

Atilis Gym update
A New Jersey gym owner who refused to close his gym under the state’s Democrat governor’s lockdown order was sentenced to one year probation.
Ian Smith, co-owner of Atilis Gym in the Philadelphia suburb of Bellmawr, kept his business open to allow residents to maintain a high level of baseline health in the face of a virus disproportionately killing obese people.
“We got one year probation for the crime of taking our doors off to prevent government goons from locking us out of our gym,” Smith announced on Twitter Thursday after the sentencing hearing. “[Atilis Gym] is open and will remain open at any cost.”
I’ve been to Atilis Gym a few times. It’s a good gym.
If i lived near, I would definitely go to his gym.
The gym I go to switched over to the Atilis franchise.
I think Atilis Gym in Bellmawr is not part of the franchise.
That would be confusing.

“I just wish all the sick people would get better.”
About the same level of intellect.
Unfortunately that sort of thing seems to sell.
One of the replies: Wait…so Zero Covid is now morphing into Zero Risk of anything, ever?
It does look like “unlimited freedon” is becoming a thing and is indeed leading to unlimited despotism as Dostoevsky predicted.
Despots can be killed. Even if someone were to off Buttigieg, an equally awful or worse moron would take his place.
Government work: using the blast wave of your previous failure to propel you to your next one.
More Zero Vision anti-mobility nonsense. The real goal is to outlaw cars.
He should advocate for banning the wheel. We could go back to using mule trains.

Real even handed reporting, as always.

Kate is a dumb Canuk if I remember correctly.
She just got hotter.

that’s saying a lot
*rawr*
?
Great minds
You could say that again!
So not another Bridget Fonda story?
Wowsers. The text, not the pics.
But then she throws it all away with Marshall Law. I can’t even.
She had me at Tauriel.
“Feds For Medical Freedom.”
That’s like “Dogs Against Ball Licking,”
Hey now…wait…nah you’re right
36 years later and this infuriates me.

The subjective opinions being disguised as some sort of objective test and that a government agency should even have that power is making my blood boil. Postscript: the restaurant went out of business (along with at least one of the “nearby” alternatives). It’s now a private residence with some nice dogs so good for the current owners/residents.
Posting PDF file links is an act of violence.
How s that a thing?
Because the law is an ass.
If an establishment provides lesser services or provides a non unique experience (whatever that is) then if the public doesn’t want it, it will fail.
Really it’s about creating barriers to entry to protect existing establishments and for bureaucrats to justify their empiring.
Crappedy, crap, crap. My phone died.
Funny thing, it’s “working” in that I still get the chime when a text or email comes in. I can even call into it and complete the call. But the screen is black and there is a blinking blue LED.
Did a DDG search and most of the suggestions were for various attempts to reset. Nada. Fortunately eBay had a refurbished replacement. I should get it next week.
That sucks indeed, hope you make it til ebay get’s it to you.
Have you tried to press the power button and both the volume up and down buttons (yes, three pressure points) for like 20 seconds?
If I do that on my phone it calls the cops. Never call the cops. Ever.
Yes, tried that. There were other suggestions like volume down + home for 10 sec, volume up + home + power. Tried them all. It buzzes and the softkeys at the bottom light up momentarily, buy No Joy.
It’s an older model Galaxy G7 but I don’t want to upgrade. I like having the physical home button. Wife has a Galaxy A50 and neither of us like it.
(shrugs) Oh, well. Modern problems and all.
Try taking out the battery and letting it sit.
Supposedly this is a very difficult battery to remove; it requires a heatgun to soften the waterproof seal, then suction cups to remove the back. I’m letting it drain the battery overnight, then try again.
Thanks to all for the suggestions.
Jesus, people.
*shakes head*
Hobbit, did you check the thermostat?
Heh, heh. Thanks, Tundra, was waiting for that!
This doesn’t rank anywhere near “disk crash the night before my monthly backups” for sure. I can connect to the phone via USB and pull off my photos and stuff. Bluetooth is still working so I can check texts while connected to the car. Mostly the annoyance of re-downloading my apps and getting the new phone set up like the old one.
As I said above, First World Problems.
Oh maybe not SW…digitizer failure or the SW controller for it
Sounds like SW failure.
All those First will be lost in time, like Firsts in rain…
There’s a scene in The Wolverine where everyone who goes in to visit old man Yashida is wearing a mask except Logan (because he is a far right covid denier anti-masker). It’s surreal watching it now. Just because he can’t die from COVID doesn’t mean the rest of us can’t. Mutant privileged jerk.
I was going to say “that’s such a great movie” but then I remembered I was thinking of Logan. The Wolverine was solidly ‘meh’.
I can feel it…Firsting in the air tonight. Oh Great Firster.
And I’ve been waiting for this First for all my life, oh Great Firster
Can you feel it coming in the air tonight? oh Lord, oh Great Firster
Well, if you told me you were seconding
I would not lend a hand
I’ve seen your fail before, my friend
But I don’t know if you know who I am
Well, I was there and I Firsted before you did
I saw it with my own two eyes
So you can wipe off that grin, I know where you’ve been
It’s all been a pack of seconds
I can feel it…Firsting in the air tonight. Oh Great Firster.
And I’ve been waiting for this First for all my life, oh Great Firster
Can you feel it coming in the air tonight? oh Lord, oh Great Firster
Nice.

“this is a masterpiece”
https://twitter.com/more_meat_loaf/status/1486356401236578304
Confirmed.
Masterpiece.
Okay, that chick is hilarious.
And people say twitter is a garbage dump.
Only uncultured people say that.
Quality.
Speaking of masterpieces, tonight’s movie is Lifeforce. The movie isn’t a masterpiece. I’m talking about the brunette who walks around naked.

Now do toilets. I hear a lot about the toilets.
I don’t do gook gook jokes.
Needs a second row for the true tribunal experience

Fuck fuck fuck that shit. You what’s really “fun”? Coming out of a movie theatre for the first time and seeing 2 or 4 identical garbage cans with bird scratch writing on them, trying to figure out where the empty popcorn bag goes.
Jesus… that’s Deblasio-level thinking. Ugh.
Malice linked to this yesterday. Back when stand up had balls and Kimmel would even have a guy like this on his network show. The best I’ve ever seen on any late night show.

I saw that. The discomfort of the audience made it even better!
Better than Kaufman?
That’s a really good question.
It’s the key to really good comedy, I think. To make your audience laugh while at the same time making them feel a little dirty for doing so.
Kaufman was better than this guy, but this was still brilliant.
That was ballsy even then,
The Washington Redskins are likely to be renamed the Washington Commanders.
Snyder had one redeeming quality, and he couldn’t even keep it.
Ugh. That is unfortunate.
And you’re 100% correct about Snyder.
My husband suggested a stylized logo of a V8 engine, partly as a nod to John “Diesel” Riggins.
The name would be the Washington Engines.
Because there were only two students, the processes went a lot faster, especially those where there’s a bottleneck in terms of equipment. The class finished a full day ahead of schedule, and the knife I made is purdy.
Here’s a bit of a twist: Kaiser Permanente wouldn’t give the Covid Vaccine to a 45 year old woman with MS, telling her multiple times that because of the MS, she couldn’t receive a “live virus”.
Her family is suing since she subsequently died.
What I want to know is why the doctors thought it was a live virus vaccine. So were the docs misinformed, or were we?
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10449629/Family-mom-MS-died-COVID-sues-hospital-doctors-refused-vaccine.html
This is the only time in my life that I wished I was a lawyer.
If that’s in writing, the shit is gonna hit the fan.
In my experience with Kaiser, there’s an after visit summary printed and given to the patient after every visit. Their insistence that a vaccine would not be appropriate for her should be on that summary.
Also, she likely used the KP online messaging system to request a vaccine appointment or even to ask more questions about why they wouldn’t give her the vaccine.
Of course, she might have died of Covid anyway once vaccinated, but her family has a good case here unless the medical establishment wants to tie themselves into knots to avoid a payout.
I’m going with there is a good chance your doctor knows less than you if you are even slightly curious. See the food pyramid that is still pushed to this day.
Why did they not treat her once she got sick?
Not the protocol.
They have killed a bunch of people to push a fraud to make a buck. *deletes rest of comment*
I know. I can’t even type a fraction of what goes through my brain.
This is a fucking slow-motion genocide.
Get out of the system, kids.
Ah, some breast milk from a lady with two vaginas in my coffee and a whiff of jarred fart really starts my day off right. Thanks OnlyFans!
