Bristol University Launches Gender Pronoun Guide With ‘Catgender’ And ‘Emojiself’ Options
A pronoun guide intended to educate Bristol University staff on gender inclusion has divided opinion due to references to ‘catgender’ and ‘emojiself’.
The university published this guide with links to sources stating that some people may identify as felines and others could use ‘emojiself pronouns’, which refers to the use of emojis to express a pronoun, which can be gender neutral.
According to the LGBTA Wiki the guide linked out to, “someone who is catgender may use nya/nyan pronouns”. Nya/nyan means “meow” in Japanese. Catgender is also described as someone who “strongly identifies” with cats or other felines or “experiences delusions relating to being a cat or other feline”.
Reactions to this guide have ranged from confused to outraged, with some referring to it as “beyond satire” and “embarrassing”.
Trans campaigner Debbie Hayton has sarcastically tweeted that she’ll be using “eye roll” and “angry” emojis for her ‘emojiself’ pronouns. She also told The Telegraph: “It brings the whole concept of being a transsexual and transitioning in society into disrepute, we didn’t ask for this,” she said. “Pronouns are there to describe what we see and what we know.”
Kinda feels like they are trying to gaslight you, does it?
Whatevs. As long as I don’t have to clean the litter box, shine on.
This would be a beautiful own goal.
The North Carolina State Board of Elections said on Monday that it has the power to block GOP Rep. Madison Cawthorn from running for reelection over his role in the January 6 insurrection — an open legal question at the center of liberal-backed efforts to disqualify him from future office.
The bipartisan election board made the assertion in a court filing in a case Cawthorn brought against the board, hoping to shut down the constitutional challenge to his candidacy.
Liberal activists filed the challenge to his candidacy last month. Their argument revolves around the little-used “disqualification clause” of the US Constitution, which was ratified after the Civil War to prevent Confederate officials and those who supported “insurrection” from returning to office.
Cawthorn, who has denied any wrongdoing regarding January 6, filed a federal lawsuit last week to shut down the challenge. The elections board, in its court filing, said his lawsuit is premature and should be dismissed. The board also said it has the power to disqualify candidates based on constitutional considerations, not just based on state laws.
“States have long enforced age and residency requirements, without question and with very few if any legal challenges,” the board wrote. “The State has the same authority to police which candidates should or should not be disqualified per Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment.”
Seriously, stop with this transanimal nonsense.
Gentlemen, and those ladies dressed as one, I give you the adversarial press at its finest:
What I’ve come to realize is that restraint may be precisely why she became a sensation. The comparative lack of performativity, the emphasis on competence and completeness and even a certain blandness, was incredibly welcome to many Americans exhausted by Trumpian invective. But many observers didn’t just want a return to normalcy—they wanted a more full-throated rejection of the recent past. This created an environment where Psaki’s occasional sarcasm—she does have a dry wit and uses it well—was received with enthusiasm that was disproportionate to the intensity of the encounter described. “It’s pretty rich, isn’t it?” she said recently while highlighting the irony of Republican politicians complaining about not getting enough from the infrastructure bill they voted against. But PSAKI DESTROYS TED CRUZ!—to take another example of an incident hailed as a #PsakiBomb—doesn’t perfectly reflect what happened when Psaki was recently asked about right-wing objections to Biden considering Black female candidates for the Supreme Court. She simply read Cruz’s remarks praising Trump for nominating Amy Coney Barrett, a white woman, and noted the hypocrisy. It was an able and not particularly dramatic parry (augmented by a somewhat more pointed “I am blissfully not a spokesperson for Sen. Cruz”) that got narrated as an annihilation. That doesn’t reflect Psaki so much as it does the acrid environment in which news items get packaged.
Defense and praise, defense and praise, really digging into the meat of how wrongthinkful it is to criticize Strawberry.

Good links. “My Time as a Human Dairy Cow” sadly had no photos.
I think SF outsources that to Q
I think the noise of it would be more upsetting. Mechanical suckling.
Ole, the hired hand at a dairy farm, was amazed by the new mechanical milking machine. After a couple days, he couldn’t resist and stuck his dick into the contraption.
It was awesome but then he realized that the suction was so great that he couldn’t get it off his member. Finally the farmer came out and found him. After yelling at him for a bit he got a doctor to see if he could figure a way to get the machine off Ole’s dick.
The doc said I’ve got good news and bad news. The good news is that this won’t hurt you in any way. The bad news is that the suction won’t turn off until it has collected a gallon of fluid.
Can you just imagine the sagging, distended flesh?
600 lb people on TV shows have an audience. We would like to believe other people are like ourselves but maybe we are on the fringes of Standard Deviations.
I remember when this premise was a gross-out Piers Anthony short story.

Hey wassup Glibs
I’m calming down from an annoying day, but not much else.
I am Guided by Vices.
Their argument revolves around the little-used “disqualification clause” of the US Constitution, which was ratified after the Civil War to prevent Confederate officials and those who supported “insurrection” from returning to office.
And when the Repubs take over, they can use the same clause to bar anyone who justified the BLM riots from holding elective office.
Me today, you tomorrow.
Short sighted doesn’t even begin to describe the current crop of clowns occupying congress. When the shoe is on the other foot, we’ll get hundreds of think pieces from propaganda outlets about how fascistic the practice is, all completely devoid of self-awareness.
They don’t believe there will be an other foot.
They will control who can run.
They will control how can vote.
They will control who counts the vote.
They don’t expect to ever lose again.
For a while I suspected that they might be able to pull it off. Watching them stumble over themselves backing the Twink in the North (SF deserves and award for that) against the truckers and trying to get Rogan kicked off Spotify as if that would even make a dent in his influence is finally giving me a little bit of faith that they just simply aren’t going to win. They are pussies and no one takes them seriously anymore. Power only exists if there’s a majority perception that you have it. They’re really starting to lose it on that front.
Even if the Ds lose, the GOP will never respond in kind.
I wish the GOP would have the stones to do that.
Unfortunately they will be too scared of The Cathedral calling them mean names if they try. So they will roll over.
To be fair, one group wants to destroy America and go after anyone trying to actually defend America and its Constitution. The Republicans MIGHT want to prevent those traitors from serving in govt positions so they can do it again.
The GOP was wrong about the war on drugs and using govt to enforce some social rules but Democrat Party and the Republican Party are not alike.
With that being said, destroying the Democrat Party once and for all the weakening the GOP is a workable strategy.
So many tormented souls out there…
So many parents that failed their children.

‘catgender’
I assume if I identify as this it gives me free reign to kneed/scratch the furniture, tear through the house in random spurts of crazy, lick myself in public, sleep in the hamper and wake people up at 3am so I can be fed.
[golf clap] for perfect description of the feline condition.
When all this self identifying non-sense started, I tried to think up the most over-the-top slippery slope scenarios I could about where this would lead. I must not be very creative, because I stopped well before I reached “catgender”.
Yeah, who ever suspected it would actually go this far?
I don’t think even Heinlein, with all his gender-swapping, partial normalization of incest, and other weirdnesses that he explored, would have considered some of this stuff reasonable enough to include in the “Crazy Years” headlines.
Years ago, at the beginning of X-TREME SPORTS DO THE DEW! era, I said eventually people would be strapping phonebooks to themselves and shooting each other, the sport aspect based on distance and thinness of the book. A few years ago, my friend sent me a youtube video of people doing it with the subject: “Fuck you.”
Love it.
Just wait for the designer DNA shots to mingle [insert animal here] genes with your own.
We’ll get the otherkin/animalsexual types doing it, as will the crazy cat ladies who want whiskers to “live on forever inside of me”
At least Splicers are serious.
Just don’t make me cover their medical bills for the complications after the fact.
I’m kinda surprised that it was Batman who did it already.
It’s been done in both Transmetropolitan (with alien DNA – Transients), as well as Batman Beyond (with animal DNA – Splicers).
It’s Always Sunny also made jokes about it with Maureen transitioning to a cat.
Fun fact I just learned. Maureen is Ivan Reitman’s daughter. Her cat transitioning was one of their best bits.
Until Dennis killed Maureen. Or did he?

Would.
Meh. She’s no Julie Newmar.
Go on…
I got a co-worker so wound-up she screamed “‘CAT’ IS NOT A GENDER!”
Sooooo she’s not a postmodernist I take it? Sounds like a Nazi then.
Just a step too far right now. Give her a year and four HBO shows.
Which shows?
*Glances at HBO Max current slate*
Nevermind.
CAT’ IS NOT A GENDER!
Not with that catitude.
I always thought of it as more of a feline than a catitude.
That’s mews to me.
Purrfect.
Look, it’s not a catastrophe, calm down,
Yeah, don’t be such a pussy.

over his role in the January 6 insurrection
Seems to me that one have to prove that such a thing even happened.
Which happened? His participation or an insurrection? Either way, I don’t like their chances.
It was a protest in which some participants, by no means all, committed some vandalism.
Labeling it an insurrection is ludicrous. They weren’t even armed. Acting like it’s some kind of Fort Sumter isn’t going to stand up in a real court; just the breathless congressional hearings.
The use of the term “insurrection” by the Cathedral was not an accident, ever.
It was very specifically used from the very beginning for just exactly this purpose. Period. Being able to do this is why they used the word the whole time.
I definitely get it. They’re going to have some real consequences to their language games eventually. Insurrection is a broken window and people wandering halls, white supremacy is people “acting nice”. They are taking away their own ability to speak precisely or have nuance. I’d say it’s hyperbolic, but it’s far more malicious than that, it’s designed. I just don’t understand how people that are so shortsighted manage to gather so much power and influence.
Orwell described this process in great detail and we’re watching it take place before our eyes.
They’re counting on the masses being too lazy to read beyond a headline or listen beyond a sound bite.
And it’s working for them.
Remember, we Glibs are not a representative slice of the country.
True and I live in a pretty darn red state (that’s being overrun by discontented blue staters). But I really get the feeling that COVID regimes failures is opening up the eyes of even some of the most firm establishment leaders. My dad is the very definition of a Boomer-con who’s been gobbling up all the fear mongering. I mean triple masking in the airport. We were just talking a couple of weeks ago and he finally conceded to me that the it’s become obvious that the “experts don’t really know anything. Between this, realizations that the cops will gleefully side with those who sign there checks and do their bidding and the demonstrable total collapse of legacy media due to apathy, I believe the masses are not the lock they were even six months ago.

“the emphasis on competence and completeness and even a certain blandness”
“Competence.” LOL
She has the dead eyes of a lizard person.
Circle back, circle back…
That hagiography is on par with the love letter to Rachel Maddow years ago.
And the endless stream of lies aren’t any more convincing than they were from any previous inhabitant of that position.
Ari Fleischer nods approvingly.
Her interviews are anodyne and factual.
Nauseating.
Either way you look at it, Psaki has played a starring role in the administration, exceeding even the vice president’s.
Can you imagine someone who is able to outshine VP Harris?
I’ve got some gum on my shoe…
Imagine being the “elites” that consider Harris an impressive person……especially the ones that didn’t get a hummer from her.
Strawberry for president.
I like Psaki, I think she’s doing a great job by ignoring or obfuscating every question. If she tried to answer honestly she wouldn’t last a day. By pretending everything is rosy and the reporters are too dense to understand Biden appears in control of the presidency. That’s what she was hired to do.
Yep. You have to consider how the job description reads and how her boss rates her progress toward assigned goals.
Clearly, telling the truth and being honest are not part of the criteria.
There’s always the possibility she believes everything she says.
Press secretary is literally the national head of propaganda for each president. Her job is to disseminate the narrative no matter who foolish, dishonest or cunty she looks. By that measure, she is quite good.
To be fair, that’s pretty standard for chief of communications for just about any private business as well.
With the exception of course that private businessess that obviously screw and lie to their customers frequently lose customers and market share, whereas the government coerces “participation” and taxes you anyway.
Well, you see, Glen has an ‘R’ next to his name, so…
When @GlennYoungkin lifted Virginia’s mask mandate for public schools, liberal pundits slammed the decision.
Now that Democrats are following suit, repealing mask mandates is “driven by science” and a sign the country is “trying to get back to normal.”
It’s really a wonderful thing that Science can turn on such a dime these days…it used to be that “in Science, progress is made one funeral at a time”…
Sciencing is much quicker these days.
That was back in the days of yore when science was driven by the scientific method and data. Politicians discovered it becomes exponentially faster if it’s driven by whatever they need at the moment.
The Senate passed a measure removing mask mandates in schools today. It’s over now.
Loudoun County School Board is toast.
Let’s hope so.
Teachers will quit I tell you!
We can only hope.
This is the exact same cascade effect as when we saw the Dem governors impose lockdowns. They are all following the herd. None of them wants to be the last Dem to do whatever it is that they are doing.
Our Lard-ass despot will be last one standing.
“CHICAGO (CBS)–Gov. JB Pritzker on Wednesday said he plans to lift the state’s indoor mask mandate for most places at the end of the month, citing plummeting infection and hospitalization rates in Illinois. But he said he would keep his mask mandate for Illinois schools in place for weeks longer than that.”
SCIENCING THE SHIT OUT IT!
Maybe his plan is to be so loathsome and unpopular he is voted out before he has a chance to be convicted on corruption charges and go to prison?
That would be a change for your govs.

One of my former coworkers was a lady from Guam with a MSc in mechanical engineering and a PhD in electrical engineering.
She was usually very quiet and didn’t make waves. One day I remarked about the difficulty in keeping up with what was “offensive” to the younger generations and what would be next.
She said “Literally no one outside the United States cares about these things.” She laughed at the knots we tie ourselves into to accommodate this stuff in companies.

So, Cawthorn has also introduced a proposed Constitutional Amendment instituting term limits on both the House and Senate.
I’m all for term limits, but they don’t have much chance of functioning as designed unless we also:
1. Eliminate all union representation/collective bargaining for government employees at all levels
2. Remove voting rights from all government employees and their spouses and dependent children, if applicable, for the period of their term in office plus five years.
3. Require mandatory retirement from government service for all bureaucrats after, say, 15 years. Exceptions probably should be made for military officers above the rank of O-5 or so.
4. Severely curtail congress’ time in session.
Yeah it seems to me that term limits only entrench lobbying and bureaucrats. But then again, they already are so maybe getting rid of ancient politicians is still a net benefit.
Definitely. The biggest problem are the lifers like Pelosi who grow immensely powerful over the decades. Get rid of them and all the lobbying in the world isn’t going to matter so much.
California has term limits. I can’t say that it works very well, and I don’t think your conditions would help them work better, though on their own, they are ok.
Yeah, the downside to term limits here in NYC is that every new batch is more crazy far-left than the last one.
My plan would be 2) Remove voting rights from anyone that is not a net taxpayer. Thus all government employees, welfare dependent sorts, etc. If you don’t have skin in the game, you don’t get to call the plays.
Nope, if you are making rules that I ‘have’ to live under then I get a say*
I don’t even know how you determine what a net ‘tax payer” are you counting sales tax and the cost imposed on people by regulations as payments ? what exactly counts as a taking? welfare payments? working for the feds? your profession being highly regulated and protected by the government?
*If I want it, personally I feel voting only encourages the assholes so this really doesn’t effect me as a non-voter but I hate this particular argument.
Or we can all just admit that democracy is a really really bad idea that creates nothing but perverse incentives and thousands of micro – would be dictators. I don’t care what system you use to pick the assholes in charge. They’re going to be bad. The bad ones are the only ones drawn to power. It’s a paradox.
The only thing I care about is that we have a contract that tells them what they can and can’t do (let’s call it a constitution) and it’s enforceable – violently – if breached.
?
Give the US senate back to state control.
“2. Remove voting rights from all government employees and their spouses and dependent children, if applicable, for the period of their term in office plus five years.”
That seems a bit much.

Holy shit! Al Sharpton is calling him out. Things must be dire.
She did so well with the American border situation.
The White House announced Wednesday that Vice President Kamala Harris would travel to Europe as the crisis in Ukraine continues to escalate.
Harris will travel to Germany to attend the Munich Security Conference, as European leaders weigh increased tensions with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Putin continues weighing a decision whether or not to further invade Ukraine as he continues building up troops along at the border.
Sabrina Singh, the vice president’s deputy press secretary, said Harris’ visit would “demonstrate our ironclad commitment to our NATO Allies” and “underscore our commitment to Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.”
NATO will be dissolved by the end of the meeting. Alternatively, there will once again be an East Germany.
The Russians killing her would be the biggest gift to Joe Biden since the DNC bought him those creepy fucking teeth.
lol
Yeah those choppers ain’t right.
She’s all that is keeping him alive.
Yup. We’re going to war.
I don’t think so. Allegedly she’s going old school and pulling out everything she learned working under Jerry Brown. If there’s one thing we know she’s good at….
…Excellent
She’s like a 1 by Ukrainian/Russian standards, though.
What, they don’t have light switches, drapes or paper bags in Russia?
The White House announced Wednesday that Vice President Kamala Harris would travel to Europe as the crisis in Ukraine continues to escalate
Why is everyone so pessimistic? Moscow is in Europe, and may be on Kamala’s itinerary. Putin might be swayed by the Willie Brown treatment. That’s what you call diplomacy.
Germany has already signaled pretty hard that they don’t want to piss off Russia and lose their natural gas, especially since they foolishly shut down their own Nuke plants.
I don’t know why the Dems think Kamala going over there is going to solve anything.
Too bad Condi sullied her name forever by getting bound up in that GW Bush Iraq invasion debacle. She actually knows a lot about Russia and how / when to deal with them, including when to leave them alone.
The took parts of Georgia, they annexed Crimea; nobody batted an eye. Now they are possibly going to shave a slice off Eastern Ukraine but are more likely just rattling sabers. But Biden and Harris are determined to provoke an actual hot war.
Unbelievable.
Not just any hot war. A hot war with a nuclear armed country. You don’t have to like Trump to realize that he’s actually a small fraction as dangerous as these fuckwits and the Neo-Cons that jumped over to their side.

I’m sure Minnesota still has truck stops though…
The suburb Tundra and I live in has a rest stop on the freeway just before you get into the Metro Proper.
It is notorious because it used to be a big meeting place for random gay sex (so Tundra told me). Then they build a McMansion development behind the rest stop. Suburban moms were not happy to look out their back windows and see lots of hot man on man action in the bushes behind the rest stop.
They made a huge stink about it and cops cracked down on it.
Now Tundra has moved away. Causation or correlation, you decide.
So when are you moving?
My
beardwife insists we stay here.Besides those old timers were totes stuck up and would totes body shame a guy… or so I was told.
And after they cracked down on the whole gay sex thing it became quite the spot for drug deals. A couple dudes got shot, though, so I think it’s just a plain old rest stop now.
Sad.
They will control who can run.
They will control how can vote.

Such ableists. They should be ashamed for making fun of a guy in a wheelchair..
Everyone say adios to PO’d Nick. He’ll be dead by next Monday because the mayor is lifting the mask mandate this Saturday.
Why are people so bent out of shape about these mandates? The govt just wants to have “conversations” with us. Also, such brave and stunning leadership from the city council.
Not many have been complying with her mandate anyway.
So you must be suffering from carpal tunnel from having to write so many emails to her snitch line?
I still have to wear the muzzle of shame at work though. Company requires the unclean to wear them.
The govt just wants to have “conversations” with us.
We still haven’t finished our conversation on racism.
There is no “finished” with that conversation. It will never stop being useful to grifters.
Liberal activists filed the challenge to his candidacy last month. Their argument revolves around the little-used “disqualification clause” of the US Constitution, which was ratified after the Civil War to prevent Confederate officials and those who supported “insurrection” from returning to office.
Cawthorn, who has denied any wrongdoing regarding January 6, filed a federal lawsuit last week to shut down the challenge.
It’s clown world, so he’ll lose the lawsuit.
What I’ve come to realize is that restraint may be precisely why she became a sensation. The comparative lack of performativity, the emphasis on competence and completeness and even a certain blandness, was incredibly welcome to many Americans exhausted by Trumpian invective.
Oh fuck off.
We all know the facts of the case don’t matter, just the politics of the judge.
Banana Republic, here we come!
Since it will be some judge in Hawaii who rules in this NC case, let’s call it a Pineapple Republic.
Or at least Bananx Republic. (Only a shitlord would assume the gender of that fruit)
Stealing that.
Didn’t there used to be some professional integrity among judges that tended to make them rule on the side of law instead of their personal politics, even if they didn’t care for the outcome?
Is it worse now, or am I just seeing it more?
They were better at hiding it before, that’s all.
?. And it ain’t just judges.
Although it kind of is just judges in terms of making rulings on matters of law. I see an absence of rulings being made like “you cannot hold these people indefinitely without trial”, for instance.
They stopped pretending they care about our opinions.
They shouldn’t.
The Hyperbole from the top rope.
I failed to see either Muffaletta or Hot Brown in the top sandwiches discussion. Pathetic.
To be fair, the Hot Brown gets an asterisk due to open-facedness and needing to be eaten with knife and fork.
That’s just Shit on a Shingle, still tasty,
I don’t think SoaS has Mornay sauce.
I’d happily take a helping of ’83 de Mornay.
You mean De Hornay? cause Yeah!
I’m much more of a mid-to-late 90s Mornay man, myself. Yowza, she aged well through the 90s.
She definitely did, but circa “Risky Business” she was something else.
I normally hate confrontation, but I respectfully disagree, unless “something else” means “not yet fully-ripened into awesome womanhood.”
Early 80s de Mornay was kinda bland, like so many “cute” girls I met in that period; mid-to-late 90s de Mornay was sensational, the kind of woman I would’ve gladly made a fool of myself in public for.
The Psaki article reminds me of the Rolling Stone’s fawning profile of Trudeau that I made the mistake of looking up earlier.
Even better than that.

The only difference between 2012 and 2022 is that nowadays all the news is glorified fanfiction.
Sugarfree, was this your doing? Jezebel didn’t pickup on the satire?
Sadly, no.
OK, that’s worse on every level.
Oh man, you had to dig that out of the depths of my memory…
So when does Rick Wilson lead the Lincoln Project Brigade to Canada to fight the fascists?
I’m sure that some lucky young Canadian lads will be brought home as war brides.
If Rick Wilson marched through rural Canada, he’d become the war bride.
I knew Canucks were deplorable degenerates, but willing to put a ring on Rick Wilson? Worse than I thought possible.
I assume Letterkenny is a documentary.
For some parts of eastern Ontario, sure.
Onterrible?
The North Carolina State Board of Elections said on Monday that it has the power to block GOP Rep. Madison Cawthorn from running for reelection over his role in the January 6 insurrection — an open legal question at the center of liberal-backed efforts to disqualify him from future office.
It’s not an open legal question at all. Congress could do it. The state cannot.
How the hell does the “State Board of Electors” get to decide something like that, anyway?
It seems his lawsuit was completely appropriate.
Constitution gives states a lot of latitude in making election rules.
I’d expect a British Columbia wolf to have less of a pot belly.
Should be easier to hunt.
Also better eatin’!
Now that’s funny I don’t care what side of the issue you are on.
Oops
Fannin was a dope.
I pray for anyone living in a county named in his honor.
The company I work for ended testing requirements. Everyone regardless of status still needs to wear the mask if they’re away from their work station.
I joined the control group and got this, it might come in handy.

Surprisingly enough the mask mandate is going to end here next week. The state one was set to end the 15th of Feb, but I figured the city one would stay for a while longer. Now the vax mandates and school masking needs to go.
Meanwhile, here in red-state flyover country, our county health director has extended an indoor mask mandate. The state is suing her and the enforcement of it is shaky at best.
You people really think the Party of slavery is going to end Kungflu slavery without something replacing it?

Damn.
I have been out driving around listening to music on a sunny afternoon.
It felt good to get out of my burrow.
Yep. Sunshine and music fixes almost everything.

Has anyone here ever used a sous vide on a ribeye? I have really cut that i want to eat but I fear my normal method, super hot cast iron skillet for 2 1/2 minutes per side will not be long enough to cook the interior and leaving it on long enough to cook the interior would result in more crust than I want.
Yep, it was delicious.
I did the sous vide to screaming 30 second sear method.
This.
Works great.
I have. The recipe book that came with my sous vide cooker had a procedure for strip steak: 2:20 at 129degF for rare, adjust temp up for different doneness. I did the same for a ribeye and it seemed like it needed a little more time or a little more temperature to render the fat better before searing–otherwise you spend too much time in the skillet and overcook the meat.
After the 2 ½ minutes per side, finish it in a 400° oven smothered in onions mushrooms and peppers, check every five /ten minutes, until you get the internal temp or (if you go by the press method) feel you want, The high heat will keep cooking it but the veggies will keep the crust from going too far. Oil the and season the veggies when you first put them in the pan.
I’m confused, why do you want to cook the interior?
Never used a sous vide, but I reverse-sear ribeyes all the time with excellent results. You need an instant-read thermometer. Bring the meat up to 115ºF in a 200ºF oven, then finish in a crazy hot cast-iron skillet (with a little butter) for 30 seconds on a side. Works like a charm.
This is how I grill mine.
Buy a good thermometer.
Look for the union libel
Francois Laporte, the president of Teamsters Canada, said in a statement that the union represented more than 55,000 professional drivers, including 15,000 long-haul drivers, 90% of whom are vaccinated.
“The so-called ‘freedom convoy’ and the despicable display of hate lead by the political Right and shamefully encouraged by elected conservative politicians does not reflect the values of Teamsters Canada, nor the vast majority of our members, and in fact has served to delegitimize the real concerns of most truck drivers today,” he said in a statement.
Fuck off, you government asslicker. You and the teachers and the sky waitresses and the nurses and all the other self-promoting parasites.
If you go back in is it six more weeks of winter?
So, popping back to the morning thread – would anyone be interested in an East Coast Glibs meetup at the NY State USPSA Championships in August? I know there are some gun gaymers up in here other than myself, Not Adhan, and db. It looks like the match director is allowing group signups, and it’s cheap for a Level 2 match. Any takers?
Yo.
Sorry, I keep misspelling your handle.
So I saw that the match is being shot at Rochester-Brooks? Back in like 2007, I shot the NY State Practical Rifle Championships at that same club. Imagine running around upstate New York with an AR-15, a stack of 30-rounders, and a 100-round Beta C-Mag…
I just moved up here in 2011. Never been to Rochester.
I sent an email to my club’s USPSA director asking if we’re sending a squad but haven’t heard back.
They don’t need staff, so I’ll have to pay alas.
Looked up the club. Rush is a fancy-pants exurb. Nice area.
Game, set and MATCH!

Looking at the picture, the guy looks like climbing a flight of stairs would have killed him.
But go ahead and lecture us from on high, CNN. Pluck at our heartstrings. Shame us.
Did he regret being a libertarian on his death bed too?
Do Teamsters in Canada have the same reputation as in the US? I know it has “International” in the name, but is it the same union?
“does not reflect the values of Teamsters Canada”
Clearly not considering the fact that organized labor hasn’t reflected the values of its members in decades.

“It brings the whole concept of being a transsexual and transitioning in society into disrepute”
You’re doing a fine job of that without any help sweetheart.

Yes you did.
