Trudge through red forest
Smell water from light spring
Together swim in summer moment
Lazy near her heaving garden
Meaning of fall
Head dress in thousands
Arm will do less
But time asks and is gone
Would some like them to stop
& go on easy
Essential music incubates winter
Worship vision of white mist
Could watch these never dream
Like black juice boiling
Hot & ugly
Too optimistic.
But huzzah to you for putting it out there.
AC? is that you?
Bizarre!

“Good heavens, Miss Sakamoto, you’re beautiful!”
This is about having sex, right?
Thinking of your ex?

All art is about either, sex, death, or your mother.
PSA. Read the last comment in the Norwegian Blue links. GoFundMe is apparently has decided on a big FYTW to all donors to the CDN truckers.
Back to our regular comments. I like the illustration, but don’t let Spinal Tap know about it.
They need to be sued. At the very least, that money must be returned to those who donated it.
Donors can request refunds.
They also claim the funds will go to charities chosen by GoFundMe and the freedom convoy folks, jointly. Why GFM gets a say in addition to their cut? Don’t know.
I read that last part in Critical Drinker’s voice
Mission accomplished.
“Donors can request refunds.”
And that is exactly what they should do. GFM has to eat the cost of the refund transactions.
Pool’s suggestion of clawing it back directly through your card probably hurts GFM more.
Donors shouldn’t have to request refunds.
Yep. Agreed. If you cannot fulfill your customer’s purchase, you refund automatically. That’s basic customer service.
In the interest of fairness, their exact words:
“we will work with organizers to send all remaining funds to credible and established charities chosen by the Freedom Convoy 2022 organizers and verified by GoFundMe.”
So organizers direct the funds – as long as GFM approves.
Everyone should file for a refund.
Ah ok. At least they can request refunds.
Probably should.
Too dark, Man, but still good, topical for the season
I don’t know why anyone would use Go Fund me when their politics have been clear for so long.
^^
Exactly this. When I heard they were using GFM I knew it was a matter of time before this happened.
There is so much traffic to their givesendgo page that the site is unstable.

NONSENSE FEGGING NONSENSE
Untrue in every jot and tittle.
How rude,
Every moment of every day I lived beneath the lies weighed down upon those bowers of untruth, I regret.
You could say I’m a poet of sorts. Every First is poetry in action.
You could even say I’m the greatest poet who has ever lived.
No. Greatest asshole on this site….probably.
Nice kid you got there. Be a shame if something happened to it.

Government schooling is child abuse.
There may have been a good argument for sending your kids to government school 15 years ago. There may have been a good argument for sending your kids to government school 5 years ago. There may have been a good argument for sending your kids to government school 2 years ago. Sending your kids to government school today is insane.
If there are any positives that come out of the shitshow of the last two years it is that many people have realized exactly that. This kind of bullshit will only succeed in pushing more people in that direction. That school district is in a pretty conservative area.
Enrollment in NYC public schools is down more than 10% during the plague years. Naturally, the latest city and state budgets provide “education” with gigantic increases.
The parties in the Caribbean this summer are going to be epic.
Wish my siblings could get that. My younger sibling is unhappy with the (deserved) reputation of the local school district but can’t/won’t do private schools until middle school and doesn’t want to do homeschool because socialization, and really wants to delude themselves that there are good teachers who will make the difference.
My other sibling is a lost cause and it’s already apparent in my 6 year old nephew. Or niece.
I’ve run into so many people who agree in principle with the flaws of government schools, but start into the “welllll, you seeeeeee” as soon as they’re asked about what their plans are for their kids.
Courage of one’s convictions is rather scarce these days.
It’d be easier if the government wasn’t stealing so much money to fund their own racket.
Yes, along with an ordering of priorities. Despite the importance of family and religion, and I do think they sincerely feel that is important and are quite conservative in that regard, they like living in a nice house in a leftist city with all of the benefits.
It’s so hard to shake out of that mentality. It really wasn’t until my career was threatened because of the vaccines that we felt confident in wanting to homeschool and change up our lifestyle. Upper middle class suburban is really freaking convenient. Unless you’re strongly motivated to give all that up and live a very inconvenient, and possible insecure, lifestyle, you’re not gonna shake out of that “keeping up with the Joneses” slumber.
One falsity that I caught myself in was this idea that providing my family a certain lifestyle is on the same priority level as leading my family in faith and in worldview. It’s still hard to shake. I can and I want to provide my family with nice things and with a comfortable life. Practically prioritizing that below living out our faith and our beliefs is a daily struggle. It’s so easy to get caught up in the mundane.
*nods sadly*
Has anyone watched the new Reacher series yet?
Early review from my friends is a surprising thumbs up.
I went into it wanting to hate it. I really love the Tom Cruise movies. But, it is fantastic and I want more. The casting is spot on.
I would be remiss for not adding:
This was good, robc! Thanks for contributing!
Stupid Bitch has extended the mask mandate for another month
https://www.kob.com/albuquerque-news/new-mexico-extends-indoor-mask-mandate-through-march-4/6380647/?cat=500
Sorry about the rough language but we’re getting sick and tired of this horseshit.
Time for another donation to her opponent.
I don’t remember anyone voting for these “public health” Nazis who are so drunk with power.
It won’t end until at least some of them are stretching lampposts including the low level “juss fallowing zee orduhs” functionaries. They’ve been living charmed lives, like all bureaucrats in this country, detached and insulated from the consequences of their actions and they have free consciouses. Despite claims of receiving threats, none of their coworkers’ bodies are being found facedown in the river, their houses aren’t being firebombed, and their kids aren’t being kidnapped.
Lettum. Let them, I say. Extend it nigh unto the middterms. Remind everyone who’s the ridiculous masking party, and who’s in favor of liberty.
At least it “expires” in a month. This state is moving to make it permanent. They already did so for schools and healthcare workers.
Did this one make the rounds?
Hmm, why would they need to put together a giant database of vaccine religious objectors? What possible purpose could that have?
Yes, weeks ago.
I’m doing experiments with my favorite cocktail, the venerable Manhattan. I’ve mostly shaken them but have recently started stirring them. I think I like it better. Also been experimenting with different bitters. Tonite’s mix is 1.75 oz Bulleit bourbon, 1 oz Noilly Prat sweet vermouth, 1 dash Orange bitters and 2 dashes Angostura bitters stirred for 30 seconds and then served up with a single Luxardo cherry. Those cherries ain’t cheap, but they are so fricking good and really top off the drink. The rye version is really nice as well, and Fee Brothers make a very nice bitter that is completely different than the classic Angostura. I also enjoy the Peychaud’s. I may try an Angostura and Peychauds for tomorrow night’s version.
My favorite drink recipe:
1. Cup
2. Ice
3. Whiskey
4. I put the ice in the cup
5. I put the whiskey in the cup with the ice
I call it The Bro.
As a point of clarification, the cup he is referring to is a used athletic cup.
Jameson ice or bourbon ice is also nice.
Jameson? Red Breast or nothing.
Zwak knows how to exercise a liver with taste, and quality.
Red Breast gets the Glencairn glass and no ice.
Luxardo cherries are the best thing ever.
If you ever get the chance to try a bottle of Antica Formula sweet vermouth, jump on it.
I saw that at Costco the last time I went and almost bought it. I’ll have to pick a bottle up the next time I’m there.
Stirred is the canonically “correct” way to make a Manhattan – it does indeed make a difference.
Woodford cherry bitters are excellent, albeit not that wild.
These are a little more unusual:
https://1821bitters.com/products/tart-cherry-saffron-bitters
A Toronto is also great – sub Frenet for the vermouth (and add a little simple syrup if you like).
Thanks for the tips slum, I was thinking cherry bitters would be nice and I like the taste of Fernet, that sounds like an interesting combo.
You can really head off the reservation with a Martinez
https://www.liquor.com/recipes/martinez/
Sort of a gin Manhattan.
I’m not a gin guy, but I did like the genevers that they have in Holland when I lived there. That would be an interesting combo with one of those.
Ik kan Genber haben!
Lekker. Als je blieft!
Skip the vermouth and cherry…perfection.

I’m watching the Olympics opening ceremony. Putin is the only word leader that’s never been seen in public wearing a face mask.
You know, try as I might, I kind of like Putin. He exposes the imbeciles in Washington for what they are. He is, despite all claims to the contrary, overwhelmingly popular with his people. He’s one of the few world leaders who isn’t an abject pussy. When it comes to foreign policy, he has been right on the money for decades and we’d all be far better off if US leaders had the humility, common sense and decency to consider his views. I mean, he’s ordered the deaths of a few journalists and political dissidents, but what the fuck do I care when US leaders are drone striking civilians the world over?
I too reluctantly admitI give Putin an approving nod now and again.
I admit to enjoying the mental image of Putin just laughing his ass off after 2016, as the Democrats elevated him to Thanos for spending a buck-fifty on some bad memes and planting some dumb stories on credulous spies like Steele. He barely had to do anything, they did it all for him!
And yeah anyone moralizing about him throwing his opposition and journalists in jail can step right off while the US keeps Assange in Belmarsh and a hundred misdemeanor trespassers in a hole in DC without trial.
Maybe so, but that didn’t stop him from imposing a mask mandate.
I could easily deflect by saying that it isn’t a federal mandate in Russia. Each region decides whether to impose a mandate and how eagerly to enforce it. It differs locally, just like here.
But I appreciate that he uses a bit of his political capital not to wear one. Everyone else complies or parties behind doors to be embarrassed later.
Or parties in plain sight with the knowledge that a sycophantic media won’t call them out on it.
“I was holding his breath for the picture!”
Sorry, India, apparently we’re sending you our Los Angeles clown.
Just when you think this shit can’t get any more ridiculous, you get something like that.
Really? I thought it was a federal mandate imposed nationally there.
I’m not completely sure. I haven’t been to Russia in 4 years. According to my mom, there are often significant differences in enforcing any mask or vax mandates in St. Petersburg and the city where she lives. If masks are enforced in stores, it’s almost only by cashiers.

GFY. If the deputy couldn’t identify his target, didn’t know what was going on, he lacked legal basis to fire. Yet he did so anyhow and killed an innocent person. And will not face any consequences for doing so, other than a paid vacation.
Yep. Try him under the same ROE that any other American citizen has.

Cats are horrible, they always want love and food. I wake up to 2 cats staring at me wanting food, like, feed me or You! are the next meal.
Then after the Kitten attacks the 5 year old it’s all Love Me Daddy! scratch my belly! Sophie is a BIG Balck cat, maybe thirty lb. Otis the Kit, is about 10 lb.
it’s amazing watching them play, she could kill himeasily but toys with him instead, a real sweety, I’m having fun watching the interaction,

Very true, they grow big up here, you should see the women, Big!
Both sweethearts,
Haha! Judi and her army of Gilfs and Milfs have been plotting the overthrow of the Canadian Government on a zoom chat for the last four hours. There is another rally planned for Saturday but curiously, every large retail establishment stopped selling the Maple Leaf. Feature that. She got around it by purchasing a damaged umbrella. Three bucks and it bent right into shape. They are nothing if not persistent. I’d go too but I’m not much for crowds.
What I meant to say is that you can’t buy a Canadian flag at Wal-mart, Costco or pretty much anywhere except Amazon. I call shennanigans! Fucking government is everywhere.
‘It’s just sold out. Unprecedented demand. No idea when it will be back in stock.’
I decided to pull the trigger as well. Ordered two maple leafs for myself.
Thinking about being unprofessional and sticking a ?? in my work signature.
Wonder if this will work?
Better
Nice!
Oh no. This is like that day someone discovered the blink tag at TOS.
Our National Flag is regarded as a hate symbol by the powers that be. Let that one marinate.
Saw earlier today that members of the Canadian military were told they’d be fucked up if they dared to voice support for the protests, even if on their time off. I may have seen that here. I don’t know I don’t remember.
Anyway, made me laugh. You know they’d love to sick the dogs on the protesters.
We are being ordered what to think. Fuck that shit!
We will never ever….First together.
We will never ever….First together.
You go talk to your friends, talk to my friends, talk to me
But we are never, ever, ever, ever
First together

Firsting is a solo activity.
I’m not that pliable any more. Someone above referenced Jack Reacher.
Our payroll system crashed last year. The powers that be decided to go with the new and improved Kronos system. The one that crashed. This one has you sign in at the start of your shift, sign in and out for breaks and then sign out at the end of the day. I work day rate. I don’t take scheduled breaks but now I’ll need to pretend that I do. I’ll need to be aware of the time every shift to call in. Seven minutes out and you don’t get paid. Urge to kill, rising.
Just told supervisor to go fuck himself. Ooops! We are plain-spoken folk up here in the hinterlands but I may have crossed a line.
That’s gay. If you work regular shifts you could at least put a reminder on you phone or something.
Judi misspelled her banner and now I’m the bad guy. Kill me now.
Spotify and/or Joe Rogan are losing their nerve apparently:

They won’t be satisfied until Rogan’s (and others of course, if they can get to him they can get to anybody) completely purged and this will embolden the wannabe censors, not satiate them. Whoever ordered this is a Class A dumbass.
Newest one is from 2018.
Maybe they ran out of tape so they’re pulling the weaker ones to tape over them.
Ain’t no telling, there doesn’t seem to be a discernible pattern. They certainly are being scrubbed though.
No chicken fried steak at the diner this morning. I can’t believe this is happening to me!

SiriusXM has a Motown channel! ? For a limited time, unfortunately, but yay for Black History Month! ?
Are they going to start playing Boyz2men on Soultown again? They did that last year, it made Funk and Soul Fridays much less enjoyable.
Oh, lordy! I hope not! ?
I need to pay closer attention to their schedule. So Friday is the best day to find the funk? What time of day? I may need to fire up my decrepit little XMP3 portable radio at work again. (I have to lay it flat on its back to keep the dial on the front from falling off.) Maybe it really is time to see about their app for my phone…
Looks like they added a new channel for the Motown instead of bastardizing Soultown this year, they must have gotten my strongly worded emails. There’s nothing special about Soultown on Friday I just call it that as I try to listen to a different genre each day of the week.
Gotcha. When I’m listening through the week – mainly at work (when I’m not too busy) – I tend to bounce around between ’70s, ’80s, and Soul Town pretty much based on whatever song happens to come on. If it’s one I don’t particularly care for, it’s off to another channel.
Weekend mornings are for classical. In fact, it’s almost time for Baroque and Beyond!
You’ve been listening to the NAMBLA channel, Hype.
Channel 826?
