Things are a bit more in flux than in past, around here. Therefore, I have decided to add a bit of the “Things To Come” that we used to run on Sunday evenings to my already … sparse postings.
Tonight – Yusef brings us fire, cleansing fire…oh, wait. I mean fire related art. Don’t try this at home. Or work. Or school.
Tuesday – The Other Kevin reports on a Sled Hockey Weekend. R.J. gives us another fun “Glib Car”.
Wednesday – SugarFree…’nuff said. Zwak chimes in on how to while away the miles when driving (hint: it’s audio books).
Thursday – A new story starts up, from UCS (a 2 parter). Nephilium fills in for R.J. for movie night!
Friday – The Daily Stoic, and Tulip gives us another thing to mull over at 1900.
Weekend – Mex, Not Adahn and Chafed keep us cruising along.
Links each day. Or so we hope.
OK, enough of that. Here be the Links o’ the Day:
- A story full of “wait…wut?”
- Regrets….I’ve had a few.
- Things do not go well…in Africa.
- I am shocked, shocked to find fraud!
UPDATE: I have been reminded… The Comments are all yours.
“Links each day. Or so we hope.”
I can’t wait for CPRM’s rendition of the ‘put the cocaine back in the Coke’.
I’m a just make a note here, the firster has failed again, for like the ninety eleventyith time.
He’s playing the long game, dude.
Have faith.
“the ninety eleventyith time.”
In a row…
The First That Will Change Everything (or whatever he calls it in Bro-meme-speak) is swelling, a tumescent outcropping of his skull, compressing his eyebrows until his very scowl holds pregnant anticipation. Which keeps him from seeing his keyboard to actually post or something.
(Why yes, I am re-reading Donaldson… why do you so inquire, groveler?)
Keep the faith
He sure lives in your head.
Part of being The First Of All Firsters is that some people go crazy over you. Gay men and straight women, I have had more than few obsessive fans. As gay as Hyperion is, he really can’t help his attraction.
False advertising!
I hope not.
Absent context, that is all to common a headline.
Examining the context, I expect the UN Head to be ignored.
Fuck you, there’s no climate emergency.
“to deliver on “climate emergency”
Uh huh, if it gets any cooler it will be snowing in June in the Mid-Atlantic. I want my climate emergency back! Who took away my climate emergency!?
A few flakes in the air this morning again…
Send in the UN rape squads.
Jihadist insurgency in the Sahel which has fought hard to make territorial gains: “Oh, some suit wearing douchebag I’ve never heard of said to give up power? Ok, cool.”
But at least they can bless the rains and all.
The largest grifting operation in the history of mankind. With some international rape action to boot. If I were emperor king of America that would be the third thing I’d end, right behind NATO and Foreign Aid.
“Regrets….I’ve had a few.”
Thanks for the shout out! I haven’t listened to that for a number of years until I posted it this morning.

The sky! Prices on everything! Derp!
Hey- I had a productive day n̶i̶g̶h̶t̶ off so far. Got the grass cut, trimmed, edged, and purtied-up before we get rained on the next 2 days.
Got under my POS truck to try and find the front-end mystery CLUNK sound when she’s under way (doesn’t seem to do it in reverse, even at speed- axe me how I know). No dice. Even changed wheels w/the spare in case that was it.
And Im only now on MediumCans™ (16 oz) No #3
My clunk in my ’72 ford Ranchero was a bad bushing in the upper control arm.
Same type of symptoms.
Noted, and thanks for the pointer. This turd (that I adore) has nearly 200K, so at this point it could be anything.
Ive already got upper/lower ball joints that I need to install. Pretty sure those are shot.
Just doesnt seem like a wheel bearing (yet).
Very minor compared to yours — but I went to change out the trunk interior lamp on my car over the weekend. Got a nice LED replacement from Autozone… and then determined that as far as I can tell, they superglued the original bulb in the plastic assembly. (Either that or the other one when it blew managed to melt the interior plastic and somehow fuse to it… but not leave less, hence I think it is glue). Luckily you can still buy the whole assembly (given it is a 2003, that’s no guarantee) — we’ll see if the new one comes that way and GM decided to make that their factory spec. Grumble. (Then I have to figure out what looks like a tiny, tiny plastic tab or something to unhook the wiring harness… can’t have something clear and obvious, after all…)
No car repairs today, but post return from camping my car smells like feet and chicken grease. I may need a Febreeze grenade.
*tapes down Axe bottle’s sprayer*
Thanks, Swissy!
I missed GlibFit yesterday (ironically, I was at our neighborhood tap house staying hydrated), but I just want to say thanks to Chafed and all of you who generate these features every week. Best site on the planet.
Thank You.
To me that almost sounds like praise.
I was wondering what happened to you.
My best friend is in town, so I had to be social!
You still look like a Cabela’s ad.
I definitely heard about Hitler’s Jewish roots when I was a kid. The rumor was there. I couldn’t find any confirmation though when I searched for it.
There’s something in the water in that area where he was born. Look at how close him and Klaus where born from each other, decades apart, I mean it’s like only 50 miles. Someone put evul water in the water. In fact if I rememember correctly, that town Klaus was born in was the scene of another Holocaust before the holocaust. I don’t want to look it up right now, but it’s pretty easy to find. Creepy as hell shit. Makes me wonder what other supervillains are from the same area. We’ll probably soon find that the guy who will replace Putin was born there, then I’ll be asking you if there is any real estate for sale in Willow.
I heard the same thing. Also that he was into Cleveland Steamers.
Nobody wants to own Adolf, everybody wants him to be from somebody else’s ethnicity. It’s par for the course in our new improved version of historical collective guilt.
Austria’s biggest accomplishment is convincing the world that Hitler was German and Mozart was Austrian.
You mean Beethoven (born in Bonn). Mozart was born in Salzburg.
His father was German.
So, is this a thread about nothing? You know, the ones where people can just say anything they want, even things that people might not like? *looks nervously around the chatroom*

Swiss: I’m not trying for a palace coup or anything and I don’t pretend to know how Glibs works on the inside, BUT, if you need someone to help out, as of the end of May, I can probably handle links once a week (probably afternoons). You have my e-addy I believe.
Thanks…I will see who, if anyone, needs a break/relief.
Why? Do you have a lazy Twitter to link?
I never got that argument.
Me neither. Seemed a reasonable request, that people were perfectly capable of ignoring without making a stink. (And mostly did)
I just like bugging swiss.
I hate the new expense site. So many fields, so few instructions. I guess I can submit and see what happens. The irony is, under the old system I would have only claimed the hotel, but the new system forces me to create an itinerary that automatically adds per diem.

Congrats! A third of the way to your own hockey line!
Congrats! And a bonus, you get spared from getting the real test of sanity since it will not be a girl. Even then,you would be OK for about 12 years, and then…
?
Ask me how I know….
You were once a teenage girl before the transition?
After.
Got it in one.
I had one, she was hell for ages 3-15 then suddenly became mellow. Now she’s producing grandchildren so I guess it was worth it.
Awesome! Congratulations! That’s my daughter’s 5th birthday, too!
I can’t believe that I posted a picture of her toddling around at 18 months old in an article here 3.5 years ago. Time flies!
Nice!
Christmas just got more expensive.
Congrats.
There are costs in renting children, but it is still cheaper than owning.

Congratulations

Ughhhh, today is a rare 2 coffee day. I could crawl into bed right now.
I had one of those moments earlier today, and like always, that triggers my boss to call me.

Gonzalo Lira: How does Russia make sure the US does not enter the war?
By making the Russian mode of war BORING.
I think he’s saying we have short attention spans. That made me really angry and I was going to post a strongly-worded reply. Then I got distracted.
I hope he isn’t underestimating the determination of our globalist / neo-con overlords to start WWIII.
Well, he’s not contradicting Patton.
I can say I never shoveled shit in Louisiana.
Comments are a free for all? Ok here goes. Obama: a disgusting war criminal, but apparently he had limits. His generals were trying escalate tensions in Ukraine and he resisted.
(source: https://theintercept.com/2016/07/01/nato-general-emails/)
Yeah, the Biden admin totally want to get us into a nuclear war and are sparing no amount of effort to do do. Economy? What? We have to provoke Russian into WW3, it’s for your own good! All that debris from the explosions will hurl dust high into the atmosphere and fix the warming!
I cannot believe those racists at The Intercept.
Oh wait, it’s about how Obama is the wise ruler and the general a warmonger.
To be fair though, Breedlove has the punctuation skillz of a 14 year old.
Definitely some professional grammaring on display there.
When the hell did starting wars and conducting foreign policy make it into job description of a General? Breedlove should have been relieved on the spot for suggesting that bullshit.
Now that Dementia Joe is “in charge” these kinds of dangerously stupid assholes are doing whatever they want.

I have a podcast that I’m 2 years behind on that I hope to catch up on driving back East (and back again) this summer. It is really fun since they’re just a couple months into the whole COVID mess at this point… half of my outbursts are “Just wait!” the other half are guffaws of incredulous laughter at what they don’t think is coming down the pike or how they think Fauci is giving good advice, etc.
Sigh. How the hell did I screw up that blockquote tag? That was in reply to Swiss mentioning Zwak pitching audiobooks obviously. Try to respond to the links and original post… see what I get. 😛

“Nephilium fills in for R.J. for movie night!”
What’s the movie?
I’m hoping for Sgt. Kabuki Man NYPD!!
A reliable source told me it was this.
OK, thanks.
Florida Man, wealthy transplant edition.

Riiiiiight.
Oh.
What a complete and utter dipshit. Love the paint scheme, though.
It’s the Gulf livery from 1968 & 1969 LeMans.
Popular GT40 option.
Old tires can definitely be an issue for rarely driven exotics.
But as Tundra notes this is more than 99% the dipshit behind the wheel.
So he lied to the cop?
I was picking up the wife’s Toyota at the shop over the weekend and, while the lot guy was bringing the vehicle around, the sales technician (or whatever they’re called) regaled me with stories of stupid Toyota owners. There was the girl whose parents bought her a new Corolla for college, and they brought it back complaining that the engine seized up at 48K miles. She’d never had the oil changed. But the real kicker was a guy who decided to test the brake assist feature on his new Tacoma and rammed it through the garage door. He was pissed off, and they had to explain that it only works at certain speeds. That’s the sort of thing I’d keep to myself if I did it.
The amount of non car buyer, iDouche, CA people that buy Tesla, crack them up after expecting the car to prevent it are amazing.
Some first time poster always runs to Reddit posts a story of stupidity and gets slammed.
Similarly, me I’d be embarrassed to say I was trying to watch the car autopark and I knew it was getting close to the wall, but I let it continue until it scraped all the paint of the door.
I bet he’s the guy who calls the cops when his dealer sells him shitty weed.
Better still what are the odds he has this properly insured?
From the article.
Good luck with that. It is true some primary policies will temporarily add new vehicles, but usually you only have a week. Also policy limits…
The auction was April 9th
He’s boned.
Sounds like he normally drives a Jaaaaaag.
What a moron.
His tool shed matches the vehicle nicely.
I’m not saying alcohol was involved, but if it was, this is exactly how he would have acted.
Jeepers! Is that car made of glass? That seems like an astounding amount of damage for a low-speed, single vehicle crash?
I think there’s ample reason to doubt his recollection of events, including the speed. So, so many excuses.
If I had to guess, he was simply piloting a notoriously twitchy car with old tires (the same thing that likely killed Paul Walker).
I would posit that he goosed it, kicking the back end out, then he hooked up again when he got off the gas, by which time he was aimed at the tree.
I once had a father and son team bring his-and-his Vipers to Sebring. Dad munched his the very first session, son put his into the tire wall later that morning. Moral of the story, treat non-nannied supercars with a heaping helping of respect.
Also, it’s a mid-engine. And while I have never driven that configuration, from what I have heard that they are great until they let go, and then it is a whole ‘nother world.

More comments of unbridledness: Here’s a Twitter account where they present bad Russian memes, roughly translated into English.
“EXCLUSIVE: Russian oligarch with close ties to Putin met with Hunter Biden in Moscow over potential investment deal before meeting TWICE more in New York and DC – and is now sanctioned by the UK (but NOT the US)”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10767957/Hunter-Biden-flew-Moscow-meeting-sanctioned-Russian-oligarch-Vladimir-Yevtushenkov.html
Nothing to see here, move along.
I thought only Ukraine was corrupt.
I can’t wait until seized Russian yachts start turning up more embarrassing Hunter Biden debris.
Ew
I don’t think Hunter Biden is capable of embarrassment.
“The Federal Communications Commission has said it won’t interfere with Elon Musk’s $44billion Twitter deal, saying it would be un-American for any arm of government to block the sale.
Trump-appointed FCC Commissioner Nathan Simington issued a press release on Monday dismissing requests for the agency to stop Elon Musk from acquiring Twitter.
‘The FCC cannot, and should not, block this sale. We should instead applaud Mr. Musk for doing something about a serious problem that government has so far failed to address,’ Simingtong wrote.
He continued: ‘…I am particularly troubled by arguments that the federal government must act with the purpose of stopping Mr. Musk from enshrining free expression on Twitter. The only merit in such proposals is their candor in proposing something so blatantly illegal.
‘It would be not only unconstitutional, but plainly un-American, for any arm of the government to act against Twitter or Mr. Musk for such a purpose.'”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10775891/FCC-says-does-not-right-interfere-Elon-Musks-44-billion-Twitter-takeover.html
That’s adorable.
*adds Simington to deadpool*
How is it that Biden didn’t get around to installing one of his flunkies in that position?
They were too busy patting themselves on the back for Rachel Levine and the other commies. Someone is kicking themselves for overlooking that one.
There are four commissioners right now (one vacant position) and they all have set terms. He doesn’t term out until ’26. Two are R’s, two D’s.
Needs to keep looking over his shoulder as he walks about D.C. Lots of “muggings” going down.
Don’t get in the hot tub and don’t fly in a small plane.
“The Federal Communications Commission has said it won’t interfere with Elon Musk’s $44billion Twitter deal, saying it would be un-American for any arm of government to block the sale.”
Which just confirms for us what we already knew, the Biden admin was pushing them hard to do just that.

Hurrah! Got the property tax bill…going up $300. 17 lines there, including 8 pensions. Screw them…why am I paying property tax to pay for some other schlub’s retirement? Nobody pays for mine. Bastards.
17 lines there
Wait, do they break it out?
Yup. Every taxing body…. X, X pension. Y, Y pension.
Every taxing body
Wow. I just get the county property tax broken into land and improvements. I hadn’t considered multiple taxing authorities all getting in on the action.
County, township, township ROADZ district, city, school district, forest preserve district, community College district, library district, and all their pensions, then the water reclamation district.
My business real estate gets hit with a “stormwater management fee” that started off pretty small a couple of decades ago, but now exceeds the property taxes.
The localities like it because it’s easier for them to stick it to businesses than homeowners. There’s less chance of getting run out of office for it.
Wow…that is brazen.
At least Virginia doesn’t have a rain tax like Maryland.
I got hit with the stormwater management fee in Norfolk as part of the water bill. It’s been a long time, but I recall it being quite a bit higher than the water usage part.
It’s nice being on well water now.
If I’m not mistaken, that’s the HRSD fee which I pay as well. You pay to get the water, you pay to get rid of it.
The SMF is based on plot acreage.
I’m pretty sure it was stormwater fee. Here’s what I found on Norfolk’s website:
It looks like the residential stormwater fee is capped at a flat fee per residence, but nonresidential is based on plot acreage. I recall though being charged more during the summer rainstorms, so I’m not sure if the flat fee is a new thing.
Only the water is metered so you pay to get the water and you pay again even if you don’t get rid of the water.
Though we did the pay the HRSD fee too. Maybe that’s what I’m thinking was higher than the actual water usage fee. But there is the stormwater one too. No matter how you slice it, it’s way too many fees.
At our old house, we got hit with a stormwater management fee because a new development was built up the hill from us and they needed to upgrade the storm sewers. Of which there are none on that street, because there is a stream adjacent to it and all the runoff flows directly to the creek.
So, build a new development of shitbox cookie cutter homes, go cheap on the storm sewer system, and then put everyone else in the area on the hook for upgrading the existing system to meet your needs. That reeks of the “planning commission” getting a hand-job from the developer.
The SOP here is developers offering commercial property in lieu of cash for improvements. They say the taxes from the commercial property will be greater than cash proffers. Of course there is no enforcement of the commercial development and a glut of commercial property even if there were. So improvements are slow and paid for by everyone.
That’s fucking ridiculous. Get out of Illinois.
Virginia prefers to obfuscate who gets your money.
That makes them unique to which government exactly?
My increase is on the way. Just got a new assessment in the mail, and my house’s value is $50k more.
$50k more
Blue state? In a year? We got cash rich assholes rolling in and driving up ‘values’ $15K-30K per month now. I always expected to get taxed out of my house, just not this soon. The word, for what little it’s worth, is that speculators are buying up whole subdivisions long before they are built out. I guess I’m going to ride the crash out.
Assessment is up but the rate went down from 0.8094% to 0.7377%.

The impromptu meeting did little to ease concerns among Twitter staffers wary of Musk’s leadership, one worker told Reuters.
“The PR-speak is not landing. They told us don’t leak and do a job you are proud of, but there is no clear incentive for employees to do this,” the employee said.
No incentive to do a job you’re proud of? That guy needs to be on the “dead wood” list.

The guy actually sounds sort of Glibbish. Maybe a bit heavy on the conspiracy stuff, but he doesn’t like the cops or the Feds and thinks race hustlers are not helping.

I called it the parade of ugly homes.
I am narrowly focused on utility. I can live with ugly if it’s necessary(although I would prefer the ugly in question not to take the form of a “trailer house”).
Difference between my wife and I, she just wants a pretty house. I’ll sleep on the ground for a while in exchange for more terra.
Ditto. She wants a nice house in a neighborhood. I want 50 acres of good land.
My wife wants chickens.
Wish my wife did, I can accomodate her with all my acerage.
The county changed the law to allow it, but the HOA covenants forbid it. I told her to fight the fight and try to get it changed. She said she’d rather move. Meh. How bad do you want it?
Move to a place like WV. Every real estate agent I have talked to there has told me the exact same thing:
Me: HOA?
them: Yeah, but it doesn’t matter, people here do whatever they want and there’s nothing you do, so you can just ignore that.
I’d rather there wasn’t one, but when I see super low fees and no compliance, that is the next best thing. Haven’t seen any that don’t allow chickens anyway.
And of course, pretty much none of the ones with aceage have those anyway.
Two single-wides redneck-engineered into a double-wide.
Put that on a lake and you got the best of all three worlds!
I think a chandelier in the shower affects utility. Also an added on garage, where they didn’t remove the dining room window. So, you could look at your car while you eat. I’m sure some people think that’s a bonus.
I have seen a “house” built as an addition to a trailer.

Are we talking about this version of Regrets- I’ve had a few?
I hope so.
The Loser’s Anthem.
I’m partial to this version
Uffda. Talk about perverse incentives. The article details how our wonderful King Walz spent $500M that he was given by the Feds.
– Education: $88M
– Higher Education: $38M
– Minnesoda Dept of Health: $40M (+ an additional $12M for a vax incentive program).
So basically the people who screwed the pooch in responding to the Rona have been richly rewarded by the guy who led them.
“Much of the funding went towards organizations working on income inequality, housing crises, a lack of access to reliable transportation, poor access to education and food insecurity”
OFFS!
Long-winded way to say “vote buying”.
The Boro of West Chester, PA bought a $250,000 street sweeper with some of their loot. Presumably to finally clean up all the bodies left over from Trump’s policies and
his mishandling of COVID. The Boro is a “nuclear free community” so at least it is safe from any warmongering bringing on WWIII.

Wendy was a grammy for 12 years so that’s something.
Life goes on……
Doing basic math you could be a grandparent at 11.
I clicked on the link and tapped out. People should die for that shit.
Death is too good.

I did not chump
Right. You, Sean, and I share the current no-chump streak record at 20 games with no chumps.
I’m your Huckleberry.
Folk around?
Seizure yesterday had a new flavor to it. It’s the first (I remember) to involve tactile sensation. It wasn’t the fire/brimstone olfactory hallucination, but instead my entire body just felt incredibly hot. Not painful, but incredibly concerning. Stress is what is causing this. Lady, an angel, her halo deserved, was here to help me. It lasted about 10 minutes and afterwards I felt *fantastic.* It was profoundly unpleasant as it occurred. I’m gonna see if the doc will up my dosage and add more anti-anxiety meds.
I want the fuck out. I must wear patience as armor and wield it as a weapon.
So you’re having hot flashes.
/ducking
Hot flashes? DUH. Women come up to me and show me their tits all the time.
Arousal comes. And so do they.
Two Evans were sitting on a park bench when suddenly a woman ran by and flashed her titties at them.
One of the Evans had a stroke.
The other one couldn’t reach that far.
Every women you have ever touched has been tainted for life by your fecal matter covered hands. You are a monster.
See, bro. There’s a bit of a trick. I learned it when I was 6 or so. You should do the same:
Learn to properly wipe your ass. With improvement, you won’t get your hands covered in shit every time you do it. You’re failing at this about 2-3 times a day. That’s a profoundly negative sight and smell. It might take you a bit of practice. Monitor your progress carefully. Keep a log book. *badoom-crsh*
Still, it would be nice to have a bidet.
My wife wants one, lol. Spoiled brat.
Thailand has it the best. They have a hose with some pretty good velocity. It’s right there on the toilet. Just pick up, spray your ass, and then the toilet paper is just to dry up.
Korea has the best showers. My sis-in-law, when she and bro visited, took pics and videos of the show. High pressure and a know to visually set the temperature to whatever temp (in Celsius…sigh). Shower will fuck you up with how awesome it is. I’m gonna be in it soon.
But the Thais win with the pooper hose. It’s fucking brilliant.
Based on the incredible competence they have displayed over the past two years
For Gates, one lesson from the Covid pandemic so far is that preemptive planning and protective measures could help the world better manage future pandemics. It’s the core concept of his upcoming book, “How to Prevent the Next Pandemic,” set to publish later this year.
One proposal, he says, is for the World Health Organization to launch a global surveillance team, consisting of experts who can quickly spot new health threats around the world and rapidly coordinate with global governments to prevent future illnesses from growing into pandemics.
Gates, who has labeled his proposed task force the “Global Epidemic Response and Mobilization” (GERM) initiative, told the Financial Times that the idea would require significant financial investment from WHO and its member countries in order to create a global team of experts, including epidemiologists and virologists, and give them the tools they need to proactively identify and contain future outbreaks.
Sure, Bill.
I’m curious how some more bureaucrats stationed in Geneva would have been able to spot the development of covid in China any sooner than the people on the ground did.
Maybe, and call me crazy here, but maybe they shouldn’t be funding gain of function research in shitty third world labs in the first place?
Because the WHO doesn’t already have an army of “experts” doing this? What the fuck have we been paying them for all these years?
give them the tools they need to proactively identify and contain future outbreaks
The current WHO “experts” are armchair academics. I’m guess the new experts will advise on tools that will include mandates, lockdowns, and curfews. The globalists have correctly identified that “public health” is their lever to exert power and control over populations.
I say we start with executing everyone even remotely associated with WIV. That’s guaranteed to remove a few engineered viruses from the possibilities.
Better plan is if Bildo take a flying leap off something really tall without a parachute.
Suicide
A body inside a barrel was found over the weekend on the the newly exposed bottom of Nevada’s Lake Mead as drought depletes one of the largest U.S. reservoirs — and officials predicted the discovery could be just the first of more grim finds.
“I would say there is a very good chance as the water level drops that we are going to find additional human remains,” Las Vegas police Lt. Ray Spencer told KLAS-TV on Monday.
——-
Personal items found inside the barrel indicated the person died more than 40 years ago in the 1980s, Spencer said.
He declined to discuss a cause of death and declined to describe the items found, saying the investigation is ongoing.
Police plan to reach out to experts at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas to analyze when the barrel started eroding. The Clark County coroner’s office will try to determine the person’s identity.
Boaters spotted the barrel Sunday afternoon. National Park Service rangers searched an area near the lake’s Hemenway Harbor and found the barrel containing skeletal remains.
They can identify him by the inscription on the pinkie ring.
“ACLU helped draft article at heart of Depp v Heard case for $3.5m donation, court hears
American Civil Liberties Union’s general counsel testifies that at least $500,000 came from fund connected to Elon Musk
The ACLU helped Amber Heard draft the Washington Post article accusing Johnny Depp of abuse after the organization was promised a $3.5m donation from her divorce – though at least $500,000 of it eventually came from a fund connected to Tesla founder Elon Musk, jurors in the Depp-Heard defamation trial heard on Thursday.
The American Civil Liberties Union’s general counsel, Terence Dougherty, testified that the organization decided to propose Heard as an ambassador for the group after Heard pledged the sizeable donation over 10 years.
“Ms Heard spoke with such clarity and expertise on issues of gender-based violence that [ACLU representatives] decided she would be an appropriate person to ask to become an ACLU ambassador,” Dougherty testified.”

LOL. What a shitshow.
Believe all women. And their checkbooks.
What fund, and how is it related to Musk? Obviously, they’re using him as a bogey-man the way the Koch brothers used to be used, or the way people around here use Klaus Schwab and Black Rock.
Unsurprisingly sloppy journalism from the Grauniad.

At this point, it’s almost not funny anymore.
The History Guy had a fun episode today, about the NJ teens who used their HAM radio to keep people around the country in contact with their relations who were wintering over while building McMurdo in Antarctica during Operation: Deep Freeze 1 and 2. My maternal grandfather was there. He was loadmaster on C-47s for the USAF 152nd Troop Carrier Squadron “The Deep-Freeze Squadron”, out of Auckland, NZ. He spent most of 1956, ’57, and ’58 in Antarctica – he told me they had to wait until warmed up -50F before they could safely work outside.

What the fuck is wrong with people?
Maybe unfortunate autocorrect. Elon will save us all with an edit button (before us!)
I’m asking Elon to buy Glibs and make an edit button.
They’re fucking retarded.
Pedos, A-OK.
Believers in free speech? Insurrectionists!
Charred-chili marinade made for the chicken. Gonna grill it and toss on some tortilla for chicken taco night. Hopefully Kings show up to beat the Oilers.

How ya’ll doing?
Still no vax, but I am allowing them to test me once a week, on their dime and on their time. A few people have reported that their requests for exemptions have been denied, but I have no idea how true any of that is. I haven’t heard anything on my request, yet.
Anyways, I just bought a really cool AR15. It’s a retro version of the 601. The very first version accepted by the US military. Super smooth sides and ultra simple. I like it. So I agree to meet the guy at an FFL halfway between here and Santa Barbara. We put it in gun jail for the mandatory 10 days. All of this is new to me, because the last time I transferred anything, there was none of this for long guns. I had to take a 30 question test ( which I barely made 100% on, only because they told me the ages were raised to 21 for long guns now.)
SOOO, tomorrow would be my 10th day and I was planning on picking it up next weekend and taking my kid skating out at Camarillo skatepark. I get a call from the FFL and they told me that I was placed on “delayed” status. They said that I should call them on the thirtieth day if I don’t hear anything before then. I KNOW I have no disqualifying factors. I googled it and there’s a huge amount of people being given “delayed” status. There’s an open letter from a firearms attorney demanding that they stop unlawfully delaying people. I read the laws cited and they are only allowed to delay when there is evidence of possible prohibitions. I have none. Now, if they fail to act before the 30 days expire, then I’ll have to rush out to Camarillo and pick it up that very day or my background check will expire.
I seem to get jacked up in every possible trap the government sets. I might just contact the law firm that wrote the demand letter and see if there’s a class action I can join and get that sweet 4 dollar check, once they settle. Welcome to my life.
OMFG! It’s blackjack, uhhhh whhhaaaatrrrrreee uuuuu doin here? Did you get on the 5 and keep going, forever?
Nope. That would just get me to either Oregon or Mexico, both of which are (believe it or not) even worse.
I’m not entirely sure that Mexico is worse. Cheaper for sure. Less progs for sure.
Since the Army is switching to a new rifle and cartridge, the AR-15 should no longer be a scary, military rifle that shouldn’t be owned by civilians, right?
Yeah, right, just like the recent decline in temperatues mean we no long have to freak out about climate change.
It’s planting time. Just planted some jalapenos and more cherry maters, red, and yellow. Have a lot of orange cherries already on. Tomorrow, I might plant some cukes. So much to grow, so little time.
