YOU. BLOATED. IDIOT: Of course it depends on how narrowly you define “Russian leader” and “harm,” but Ima say that Josef Stalin, as he is known in the west, takes the cake.
NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION LEADER SPEAKS BEFORE CITY COUNCIL: Just kidding. This is Estonia PM Kaja Kallas, and she says the EU has a moral duty to admit Ukraine. She totally gives off that “I haven’t really thought this through” do-gooder vibe one sees in local politics. You want WW3? Cause that’s how you get WW3.
PERFUNCTORY SELF-FLAGELLATION TO DISTRACT FROM REAL AGENDA: Buried at the bottom of the article linked above is this turdnugget from EU High Representative for Foreign Policy Josep Borrell. First the stage business: “[Borrell] blamed himself for not doing enough and not being quick enough in telling the parliament that the price of war will be long-lasting.” Boo fucking hoo, Josep. Then the ass-fucking: “European citizens need to turn the heat down in their houses. Everyone needs to make an effort. In the same way you would use less water if there was a drought. The same way we wore masks.” There is this thing called nuclear, Josep, and that would lessen your dependence on oil from Russia, Iran, etc. How long would it take to spool up those offline German nuke plants, anyway?
LUCY VAN PELT WITH THE FOOTBALL, WHEN THE MASKS STAYED ON: “The Biden Administration will extend the transportation mask mandate by another 30 days, multiple industry sources tell CNN. It was set to expire March 18.”
BULLSHIT: “Attorney General Merrick Garland has vowed to continue investigating the attack on the U.S. Capitol from Jan. 6, 2021, labeling the probe as the ‘most urgent investigation in the history of the Justice Department.’” Way to take a big, steaming dump on the victims of 9/11, you asshole. And how come no action on that Las Vegas shooting? Imagine where we’d be if his SCOTUS nomination had been confirmed.
THE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING: VP Kamala Harris makes an existential statement accompanied by bold hand gestures, and takes a brave stand …about something. Joemala is not fiction.
BULLSHIT, REDUX: And what about all those oil furnaces that heat homes and businesses? What about the increased load on the electrical grid? Where are these electric cars going to come from? What about being dependent on China for lithium for batteries for those EVs? What about greenlighting Molten Salt Reactors? MSR is a mature technology, and is safer and more easily scalable than traditional nuclear power plants. And, of course, what about just drilling more?

“YOU. BLOATED. IDIOT: Of course it depends on how narrowly you define “Russian leader” and “harm,” but Ima say that Josef Stalin, as he is known in the west, takes the cake.”
Well, he’s always been an idiot.
Ackshually, Stalin was a Soviet leader, not a Russian leader. He wasn’t even from Russia.
*pushes glasses up nose*
That’s exactly why I put in that qualification.
But he was a member of the Russian Constituent Assembly 1917-20, so a leader if not a supreme one.
Lenin is definitely worse than Putin. And you cannot argue that he is not Russian.
Quit Stalin and get to the point.
Comrade out and say it.
Russia/USSR has had a long line of bad leaders. By comparison, Putin is probably better than average, at least he was until this point.
That seems like an important qualifier.
It is an important qualifier, but prior to this I think the constant demonization of Putin was a mistake, because he was likely as good as they were going to get.
Is Putin a bad leader? Well, from the perspective of the west, sure. But from the perspective of Russia?
That isn’t for me to say.

I recieved a call from someone claiming to be conducting a CDC vaccination poll. I kept expecting myself to end the call, and a great many questions were greeted with “I decline to answer”. Though I did answer about my lack of concern about the virus itself and lack of faith in the safety or efficacy of the clot shot. There was a surprising lack of personally identifying information, so it might actually have been a pollster rather than a scammer.
“We gave at the office”
“Am I being detained?”
Oh. That was me. I thought I said so at the beginning.
uh huh.
Then what was the question to which I answered either or?
I asked if you I would prefer to watch a porno of Kamala Harris fisting Hillary Clinton, or Janet Yellen pegging Joe Biden while he deep tongue kisses Donald Trump.
Honestly, I was bit surprised by your answer.
They’re both equally horrific, so really, there’s no reason to express any distinct preference.
Well, “neither” was in play.
Could’a used that 411 a few minutes earlier, d00d.
Yeah, you didn’t call me.
I do feel sorry for whatever poor sod you did reach.
“VP Kamala Harris makes an existential statement accompanied by bold hand gestures, and takes a brave stand …about something.”
At least unlike Joe, she knew where she was.
Let’s all remind ourselves once again, these are the smartest and most qualified candidates the Democrats could come up with.
I don’t think those qualities were on their qualification checklists when they were looking for the running mate
If you click the link, apparently she didn’t know where she was.
I know, links are for ignoring, not clicking.
I did click on the link, the joke is that Biden is so senile he doesn’t know where he is.
Except she didn’t know if she was on the eastern flank or northern flank and had to check her notes.
It looks like she’s sniffing her finger in that photo. Was she enjoying some of the Slavic women?
So in continuation of the health insurance fiasco.
The government re-enrolled me without my direct consent to do so. I had reviewed my 2022 options but never selected a plan on their website. They claim that I did consent back in the end of 2019 to share my tax information with them for five years and apparently there’s a clause in there that gives them permission to auto-enroll me.
It is now March and I am receiving my first notice about premiums due back in January. I called and cancelled the policy but they will not backdate the cancellation. Because it was a subsidized plan, the subsidies are going to come back out of my next year’s taxes to the tune of about $5000.

That might be the dumbest tweet from The White House, ever.
Give them time…
Its a low bar.
If you scroll up in the thread, the White House is bragging about oil and natural gas production.
Its only dumb because we aren’t in on the grift they are hoping to pull off.
Grift and control. Never forget the control. All their actions are consistent with an agenda to reduce the number of private vehicles.
Remember “Cash for Clunkers?” I can see them doing the same thing with an ICE vehicle buyback using the lure of quick cash coupled with the empty promise that they’ll be able to buy electric vehicles with the proceeds from the buyback.
Very astute observation. I can see it start with “For any 3-car family making below the poverty line….”
BUT IT WASN’T A MEAN ONE!
That’s pretty much, “When we have transporters powered by dilithium crystals”.
Someone needs to ask Joe or Jen how long they think this transition will take. Years? Decades? Longer? And during that time, everyone besides the ruling class is supposed to just suffer through it, right?
Maybe never unless there is dramatic improvement in battery technology.
I would say, never unless there is a literal order of magnitude improvement, at least, in battery technology. Paired with a massive reduction in battery cost.
The earth is like a giant flywheel, always spinning. We’ll capture the energy and it’ll be enough to light up everyone on earth for the cost of the transmission lines, if only Big Oil would get out of the way and the Republicans would allow it.

They are fine if the peasants suffer before, during and after the transition.
extend the transportation mask mandate by another 30 days
As long as they keep pouring champagne in my glass, it’s not a big deal.
And as long as you are drinking, you don’t need to have the mask on.
But recover between sips/bites!
It all depends on the flight attendants in your cabin. Some of them don’t care in the slightest whether you drink, eat or do nothing at all.

This is Estonia PM Kaja Kallas
Between her and Finland’s PM, I’m sensing a distinct trend of northern Europeans to vote for the most bangable pol out there. No idea how well that’s working out for them.
The Finnish PM went clubbing after being a close contact of a coronavirus test-failer.
No real backlash, of course, because she’s a right-thinker, unlike Boris Johnson.

I’m starting think it’s something we should do. That might mean putting Q in charge of both major parties.
the ‘most urgent investigation in the history of the Justice Department.
If an investigation of people who killed no one, inflicted a handful of relatively minor injuries, and committed some vandalism, all with the net result of delaying Congressional proceedings by a few hours is the urgent in the history of the Justice Department, I’m thinking we wouldn’t even miss DOJ if were simply erased from the face of the Earth.
Of course, its easy to say that this investigation is more urgent than the investigation into the antifa riots which did kill people, maimed a number of feds, and caused billions in damage, because there is no such investigation.
Or Chinese espionage.
I think Strawberry is starting to hate her job.
Ouch. No lube, either.
Prediction: she will be drunk at the podium by the end of the month.
God if she’d just pull out a gun and put a bullet thru her head.
Well, it would put us out of our misery.
While I’m sure she really enjoys having a job where she is expected to lie about everything and is never held accountable, it does have to get tedious trying to explain away everything done by this train wreck of an administration. She’s also got the added pressure of covering up all the failures of Democratic policies.
When you believe the lie, it isn’t tedious. She thinks any unapproved question that isn’t about slobbering over her boss is just annoying.
To her husband:
Uh-uh-uh, I was out with the girls and I had one tiny teensy drink and some congressman tired to thank me for doing my job so well and then….
“Uh – uh – uh – uh…”
Positively Churchillian.
We’ve come so far from “the buck stops here”.
No mention of the additional $1.75 over the previous 12 months prior to the invasion…
No, that was due to covid.

And he will get away with it. He has a puppet press corp with mild opposition that will run that headline. Then he has an army of blue checkmarks and talking heads that will continue it on talk shows and socials.
Yep, look at none of the hacks next to Doocey following up to that. Or when Biden contradicts what he said previously and denies contradicting himself. None are up there calling any of them liars and saying they’re not believable.
The press is tougher on Biden than they were on Trump. Don’t believe you lying eyes.

Does anyone buy their product anymore?
Not sure if fact, but there was rumor of a fraud among some magazines where they would buy up subscriptions to each other to juice the circulation numbers allowing them to charge advertisers more. I expect that had a limited shelf life as advertizers realized that ad dollers with those publications weren’t translating into more sales.
They’re not alone.

I read your thing about the intersecting runways. Who cleared an airplane to takeoff on a crossing runway while the landing traffic was on short final? That’s messed up.
Lots of fuckups there…I don’t know why the landing pilot did what he/she did unless they swa a potential collision with the departing traffic. I don’t know why a controller would cause a potential conflict like that…
Bad all around, it sounds like.
I missed that!
I have a video…I will smuggle it out
Yeah. I went back and re-watched it. I didn’t see it before but 8L was closed at that time. I have to pull the audio too on what the AT was telling them. It would make sense on why the aircraft ready for departure was cleared for takeoff. I don’t think we have a configuration where we are landing the 8s and departing the 1s anyway.
If it’s on Live ATC’s archives, VASAviation should cover it…you should tip him off 😉
Im finding it and then I will pair it up with our ground radar that I took.
I didn’t see it before but 8L was closed at that time
That’s OK, because 26R was open.

Wait – who landed o n the taxiway????
The medevac landed on the taxiway.
Good times.
Safety first!
Not just that…he was lined up to a closed runway and then banked hard to the left and ended up on the taxiway
He and his passenger(s) are incredibly lucky.
Are these medevac flights professionals or volunteer pilots?

This is Estonia PM Kaja Kallas, and she says the EU has a moral duty to admit Ukraine. She totally gives off that “I haven’t really thought this through” do-gooder vibe one sees in local politics.

There you have it: lockdowns and biomedical fascism are inherent in commercial globalization. And this is from a defender of commercial globalization mind you…
Count me as a skeptic that becoming even more dependent on big Tech and even less connected to the real world will lead to the rebirth of freedom..
There you have it:
An appeal to authority?
Do you agree with his claim that “Davos Man is inherent in commercial globalization”? If it is false then what went wrong? If true then that means that commercial globalization will inevitably destroy itself. The latter is…problematic to say the least.
If that means I can punch someone in the face in the metaverse and it actually hurts them, it might not be all bad.
The Jussie Smollett sentencing is hilarious so far

Reading a letter from corrupt grifters, BLM! LOL
This whole thing is just a series of publicity opportunities for various non profits & celebrities.
Jussie Smollett cried in court as his family begged a judge not to jail him, claiming that the world is going through enough with the war in Ukraine and COVID-19 but saying it’s ‘not his fault.’
I hope that doubled his sentence.
That’s literally what happened (and more) during this hearing
Like a guy who killed his parents begging for mercy because he’s an orphan.
Judge is rubbing it in, dayum
This guy is seriously mental
Jussie is not suicidal in case you were wondering.

Some definitive Mussorgsky for you, Rhywun.
I knew the orchestra version long before the piano one. It was weird hearing that the first time.
I’m not sure I like this remaster. In the original recording, right at the beginning Richter hits a sour note, and there is coughing from the audience periodically during the performance; these things seem to have been removed.

Charles Entenmann, who helped bring baked goods to supermarkets, dies at 92
One of the greats. That was some seriously tasty baked goods.
Their little chocolate chip cookies are divine.
But only a sometimes food.
Their crumb cake was my childhood crack. So good.
THIS!!!
Sheeeeit. I love the raspberry coffee cake & chocolate-coated donuts. My college roommate and I liked the chocolate donuts with the little crumbles on top. They looked like esugar-dusted rabbit shit. Whenever we were in the grocery, we would say “should we get a box of turds?”
Entenmann’s popularity mystifies me. I find it dry and largely flavorless. (Said the girl whose mother baked a lot and very, very well.)
Coming from fresh-baked goods, Entenmanns probably sucked. I grew up on Hostess and Drakes, so Entenmanns was a sizable step up.
Yes.
The only thing my mother truly loved that she couldn’t bake was the raspberry Zingers.
I didn’t feel like baking sugar cookies yesterday for obvious reasons so I asked my husband to get some from the HyVee bakery. Either my taste buds are off or those sugar cookies have zero flavor. Took one bite and gave the rest to my kids. Sadly, my kids have been spoilt by my baking so they aren’t too enthused, either.
Depends on the product. Some was good some was so-so.
In the metro Philly area Tastykake was the local favorite.
I’ve had Tastykake. Once. Never again.
Tastykakes are wonderful.
I’d occasionally have Entenmanns products, but Tastykakes are better.
To be fair, you’re also unable to eat cilantro.
I COULD eat it but I don’t WANT to eat it.

Why are US senators involved in this shit?

Davos is becoming less and less of some grand conspiracy theory and more of a reality with every passing day.

I wonder if one of Putin’s hypersonic missiles can reach there.
?
So the Russians were telling the truth and we were lying our asses off? Well I’ll be damned.
I’ll play devil’s advocate. These labs were left over from the USSR, and like most things Soviet, they were shoddy. We told them they should shut the labs down, because you don’t want stuff leaking out of there and/or getting into the wrong hands.
They said, no, we are not going to close them down. We want to continue research just like you do, and we don’t have the money to upgrade them.
So we agreed to send them the money to upgrade their labs. There’s nothing particularly nefarious in this. Their facilities are safer than they were and at least we are able to keep a finger on what they are doing.
Now the skeptic in me says, sure it might not be nefarious, but this kind of research can be used for good or bad, and as we’ve seen at Wuhan, these foreign facilities are a convenient way to get around domestic restrictions.
I’d buy that except for the knee jerk lying that there were no labs with their media lackeys providing cover. And asterisk that too with they react like pathological liars with chronic untruth when the actual truth would serve them better.
^^ This ^^
“There are no labs”
“There are labs”
“Any bio attacks will have been done by the Ruskies”
What country is corrupt enough that we can pay them to do our dirty bio research on the down low and keep plausible deniability?
Hmmmm……
I think it’s time we stopped kidding ourselves. The nukes will only be used to kill off the surviving zombies from the bio-apocalypse. There are just FAR TOO MANY assholes playing god with this shit. Either someone gets sloppy *cough* Wuhan *cough* or eventually someone just fucking nuts decides to purify humanity.
I do worry that someday there will be a scientist who believes the earth is overpopulated who decides to release an actually bad virus.
And the worst part will be that women, BIPOC and the alphabet people will be hardest hit.
Even if for some reason they are survivors – oh look at the mess everyone made and they expect us to clean it all up.
This. Someone a while ago commented here that, while the Great War was the war of chemistry and WW2 the war of physics, WW3 will be the war of biology.
Speaking as a biologist, the thought of that scares the ever-lovin’ bejeebers out of me. When I was in wearing my “Uncle Sam Ain’t Released Me Yet” suit I had to take a bunch of NBC (Nuclear, Biological, Chemical) training, and of the three, it was always bugs that scared me the most. Still do. Too many non-biologists don’t have a really good grip on what could really be done with an engineered virus.
Uh, that someone was me.
We’ve clearly been misguided in worrying about nukes while bio-tech has been proliferating out of control.
Well, you’re right. On both counts.

Members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) have been plotting to assassinate John Bolton, former national-security adviser in the Trump administration, says a Justice Department official with direct knowledge of the government’s investigation of the suspected plot. That is according to Tom Rogan, who reported the development in the Washington Examiner on Monday.”

I have mixed feelings about this.
I don’t. I wish they would have succeeded.
Does Iran have a GoFundMe set up?

This has to be dumbest account on Twitter.
“This has to be dumbest account on Twitter.”
Pffft, not even close.
Yes, it is.
Russia Today is going to thank Netflix for leaving?
Makes sense.
The enraging part of the Frum tweet is that he is salivating at the prospect of war with Russia that would kill millions or even billions. He doesn’t give a shit about average Russians or their well being.
Twenty years later and his war boner is unsatiated with zero reflection, guilt, or doubt.

So does mean Putin is a Davos puppet or their enemy?

Yeah, sure…why not? All of the reasons they give for these various policies are all convenience based political horseshit anyway.
One hour behind me…

No vay.

Just root for Nadal, the authority loving kissass.

Thank goodness xenophobic nationalism is a thing of the past..
Numbnuts, it is disobedience they are coming down on.
The remarkable part is that he is the only one, at least that the average person has heard of. There are a couple no-name unclean players the last I checked, but that’s it.
I hear good things about that Arthur Ashe fellow

Remember when gays were people like Gore Vidal and Truman Capote?
We have our own quality gays, thank you very much. Don’t lump them in with that d-bag.
I can’t be arsed, but I bet that, if I check his timeline, he was a virology expert a few weeks back.
So, interesting people?

You’re not gonna believe this
Financial woes, coupled with a barrage of horrifying scenes from Ukraine as Russia continues its invasion, have pushed a majority of Americans to unprecedented levels of stress, according to a new report from the American Psychological Association.
The association’s annual “Stress in America” poll, published Thursday, found that U.S. adults — already weary from two years of the Covid-19 pandemic — are now overwhelmingly troubled by inflation and the war in Ukraine.
According to the results, 87 percent of those surveyed cited rising costs of everyday items, such as groceries and gas, as a “significant source of stress.”
Let’s go Brandon!
My former place for haircuts got shuttered during the lockdowns. I tried a new place. It costs twice as much, but it’s in walking distance of my house. Since my requirements are simple, I don’t have much in the way of criteria. Is my hair the approximate length I was asking for? Yes. Is any of it janky? No. Were any red flags raised about the site or staff? Not so far.

I usually go to Great Clips because I can get out of there under $25 after tip. Unfortunately, the “approximate length” question is a No for them. Always seem to miss patches of hair. The other close haircuttery is usually over $50, so I try to make due with the hacks at Great Clips.
Holy shit. I think I paid $30 for my Wahl trimmer. I mean I get convenience, and style, and all, but $25 for a haircut? I tapped out back when they were getting around $15
So what’s tonight’s movie?
“Leprechaun 4: In Space” gets my vote.
Does Jennifer Aniston get naked?
Anyway, I think it’s either Convoy or Ninja Terminator, but I don’t know which?
Shrek just finished playing in the trashcan.
In honor of World Kidney Day…
I tried to get the Bosslady to celebrate it, but she made chicken w/ olives and preserved lemon instead.
You poor thing. And I’ll be right over to take that nasty chicken off of your hands.
Bosslady is a woman of refined taste. I mean, marriage aside, I guess.
😉
Fuck yeah (and I don’t even like olives)
But what do you put in dirty martinis?
