It’s just a stutter. It’s just a stutter. It’s just a stutter.


 

The hat and the hair were both sitting on the desk in the Office of the President the United States In Exile when Donald walked in, short little steps to main balance, a Diet Coke in one hand and strangling an alligator with the other.

“Good news,” they sang out together, wriggling with pleasure on a blotter.

“I hate it when you do that,” Donald muttered. The alligator landed on the floor with a meaty thud.

“But there’s good news,” the hair said as the hat fell to the floor and toddled to the alligator.

Donald scratched himself up under his bulging stomach and stared at them.

“Sara won her gubernatorial primary in Arkansas!” the hat said. He pulled the fastest part of the tail under his bill and began to eat.

“Who?” Donald asked with little interest. He looked around the room and dropped the empty Diet Coke can on the floor and belched.

“Sara! Your former White House Press Secretary,” the hair said.

“Pie!” the hat said around a gobbet of alligator flesh. “You called her Pie!”

“Who? Who?” the owl in the office asked.

“Sara Huckabee Sanders!” the hair shouted. “We did an entire Shakespeare episode with her?”

“Big girl,” the hat said. “Face like a car accident.”

“I got nothing,” Donald said, falling into his office chair. The crack of a fresh can of Diet Coke opening shot around the room.


 

Make womb for breakfast! ‘UTERUS-shaped’ cereal aims to normalise conversations about periods at the breakfast table

 

A ‘uterus-shaped’ cereal has been launched with the goal of putting conversations about periods on the table.

Feminine care brand Intimina developed its raspberry-flavoured ‘Period Crunch’ to encourage families to discuss menstruation more openly at breakfast.

Despite being marketed as womb-shaped, the cereal actually resembles the entire female reproductive system.

The wheat-based cereal — a PR stunt which won’t actually ever go on sale — is dyed red to mimic the colour of blood.

Intimina claims conversations about periods are not ‘truly normalised’ and it wanted to ‘make a statement’ about the issue.

Although it won’t ever be stuck on supermarket shelves, people can get a free box by contacting the Swedish company.

A survey of more than 2,000 people by the company found 48 per cent of girls and women are too embarrassed to talk about their period. Previous research has shown stigma around the time in the month can cause boys to mock girls at school, while nearly half of women say they have been ‘period-shamed’.

The cereal campaign comes after Spain last week became the first European country to propose paid, unlimited menstrual leave for women in pain.

Intimina’s Danela Zagar said: ‘Periods are normal and talking about periods should be normal.

‘But because of the ongoing stigma around menstruation, period conversations remain difficult and embarrassing for people, even with loved ones.

‘There’s no more normal and everyday a scene than the whole household sitting down together at the kitchen table and talking over a meal.

‘And if period conversations were truly normalised then they wouldn’t be off this table — or off any table for that matter.’

 

Or maybe don’t talk about your period while other people are trying to eat. For example, I’d never talk about the large scabs I had to peel off my testicles while other people are eating.

Dave Chappelle ‘attacker’ admits he was inspired by Will Smith slap of Chris Rock at Oscars

During an interview on Saturday, Lee told The Post he is a bisexual sexual abuse survivor who previously dealt with homelessness and was “triggered” by the “Chappelle Show” star’s jokes.

But on Monday, he admitted the attack was also partially driven by an effort to raise his public profile as a budding rap star who goes by the stage name “NoName_Trapper” and once put out a song about the Emmy-winning Chappelle.

    The McLaughlin Group group and the video with pre-plug Biden are an absolute blast from the past.

    • The Other Kevin

      I really wish that made the rounds 2 years ago.

      • SDF-7

        Yeah — wouldn’t have changed my opinion of him but maybe that group that insists (now) that the Hunter laptop story would have changed their mind might have had second thoughts as to either his (lack of) memory or his complete inability to not lie constantly.

      • Timeloose

        It did, but only in the bubbles where it wouldn’t matter. This and the other 80’s and 90’s faux pas were all over Facebook for weeks before the election.

      • rhywun

        I’m sure they were and the difference today is nobody gives a shit.

        It’s so quaint that being a bald-faced liar could damage your election run.

    • SDF-7

      WRONG! You all had Special K with banana…..

      • SDF-7

        It was linked a day or two back when someone first posted the Biden link, so I assumed everyone knew what I was referring to. 😉

    • B.P.

      I still don’t understand how we’re also supposed to nod along when a bald-topped public figure shows up one day with a full head of hair. I guess we’re supposed to think, “Huh, it all grew back. Maybe he was just shaving the top of his head.”

      • SDF-7

        WRONG! We’re supposed to think their hair was out having adventures!

      • B.P.

        Shoot. I should try to stay on theme.

    Nobody’s going to buy that cereal, and they’re going to say it’s due to misogyny.

    • Scruffy Nerfherder

      My buddies and I would have bought it in college and then proceeded to make hordes of jokes in very bad taste.

      Thus “normalizing the conversation” to drunken-frat-bro standards.

      • Bobarian LMD

        Does it turn the milk red?

      • R.J.

        Only if you are wearing white pants.

    “Big girl,” the hat said. “Face like a car accident.”

      It’s almost like the hat has been tweeting all of the candidate endorsements while Trump golfs and fights gators with his airboat.

    This is fne.

    Sales of new homes fell 16.6% in the last month as rising interest rates reduce the possibility of home ownership for many families.

    Interest rates have risen to 5.25% as of this week, up from 3.1% at the start of the year, the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported.

    This month’s drop of sales in new homes is the biggest drop in a month since 2013, the outlet noted.

    “The entry-level consumer, which is the largest buyer group, is moving to the sidelines,” Margaret Whelan, chief executive of Whelan Advisory, told the WSJ.

    What a monster.

    Democrats, including Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, have been calling for the conference, which is taking place in Houston, Texas, to be cancelled in the wake of the school shooting at Robb Elementary in Uvalde on Tuesday.

    “America needs real solutions and real leadership in this moment, not politicians and partisanship,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social. “That’s why I will keep my longtime commitment to speak in Texas at the NRA Convention and deliver an important address to America. In the meantime, we all continue to pray for the victims, their families, and for our entire nation—we are all in this together!”

    • The Other Kevin

      How much does the NRA actually give to candidates? As opposed to, say, the pharmaceutical industry?

      • ron73440

        And where does the NRA’s money come from compared to pharma or other NGO’s?

      • Rebel Scum

        It’s a drop in the bucket as far as political donations from what I recall of charts I’ve seen. But that doesn’t matter because reasons.

        And the NRA sucks for political activism these days. By all means, leftists, keep concentrating on the NRA while GOA, SAF, etc. do the real work.

      • juris imprudent

        The NRA’s punch was always in votes, not dollars, but that might sound anti-democratic if you attacked that.

    “Beto O’Rourke GATECRASHES Texas school shooting press conference and heckles Greg Abbott for ‘doing nothing’ on gun reform before being marched out and called ‘a sick son of a b***h’: Abbott blames ‘mental health’ for shootings

    O’Rourke, who is running to become the state’s next Governor, yelled out after Texas Gov. Greg Abbott blamed mental health for the shooting of 19 kids and two teachers yesterday.

    Echoing a speech made by Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy yesterday that went viral, O’Rourke approached the stage asking: ‘What are we doing?’

    He was immediately branded an ’embarrassment’ by Lt. Governor Dan Patrick and marched out of the room.

    The Mayor of Uvalde, Don McLaughlin, then roared up from his seat, leering over his walker to yell: ‘He needs to get his a** out of here! Sir you are out of line! Please leave this auditorium! I can’t believe you, you sick son of a b****, you would come to an event like this to make it a political issue!

        Another one the cops and / or FBI ignored.

      • JaimeRoberto (shama/lama/ding dong)

        How would a guy like this get on their radar? If nobody reported him for shooting BB guns at people. If he was never convicted for it? Even if he was convicted, would it be a felony or a misdemeanor? Would it show up on a background check if he did the crime before he turned 18?

      • Drake

        I’m still speculating.

      • Semi-Spartan Dad

        I’m okay with the cops and FBI ignoring people. What are the cops and FBI supposed to do that doesn’t blatantly violate the constitution and open a massive slippery slope against people the gov doesn’t like. We’re already about there with Red Flag law bullshit.

        There are probably tens of thousands, if not maybe hundreds of thousands, of people like this for every one that actually goes mass killer. Prevention isn’t possible in a free society. That’s one of the risks we run for freedom. The solution isn’t prevention but rather ensuring there are no restrictions on adult citizens being able to carry. The government is responsible for preventing the adults in the school from being able to defend the children.

        My opinion on parental responsibility is probably not popular, but my own belief is that I am ultimately responsible for the safety and security of my young children, and these parents also knowingly sent their children daily into a environment that is almost setup textbook for massacres. One of the reasons we homeschool is that I am not offloading my responsibility on safeguarding my children to the local school system. No judgement on any parents, just my own call to and for myself.

      • juris imprudent

        that doesn’t blatantly violate the constitution and open a massive slippery slope

      Speed Racer was my thing. I used to relish those occasional days when I’d get home from school early enough to see the last half of Speed Racer. And that was in the 70’s. There was as comic book in the 80’s, and I still have a lot of those.

      There used to be a local guy who wrote incessantly to the company who owned Speed Racer, and he finally got them to accept a licensing agreement which allowed him to paint Speed Racer paintings.

    “The Wuhan Institute of Virology assembled a monkeypox virus genome, allowing the virus to be identified through PCR tests, using a method researchers flagged for potentially creating a “contagious pathogen,” The National Pulse can reveal.

    The study was first published in February 2022, just months before the latest international outbreak of monkeypox cases which appear to have now reached the United States.

    The paper, which was authored by nine Wuhan Institute of Virology researchers and published in the lab’s quarterly scientific journal Virologica Sinica, also follows the wide-scale use of Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) tests to identify COVID-19-positive individuals.

    Researchers appeared to identify a portion of the monkeypox virus genome, enabling PCR tests to identify the virus, in the paper: “Efficient Assembly of a Large Fragment of Monkeypox Virus Genome as a qPCR Template Using Dual-Selection Based Transformation-Associated Recombination…..””

    • grrizzly

      Weird fact about Zelensky: as a child he lived several years in Mongolia where his father worked.

      Also, how come nobody noticed that the leaders of the two countries at war have the same first name?

      • JaimeRoberto (shama/lama/ding dong)

        Because everyone there is named Vladimir? Vladimir Zelensky, Vladimir Putin, Vladimir Lenin, Vladimir Stalin, Vladimir Yeltsin, etc.

      • This Machine

        For real, those Slavic countries have a real lack of first names to choose from; I think they just have a kind of socially conservative atmosphere around stuff like that. The couple-dozen odd names that have been around for generations are good enough, no naming fads like what happens over here.

      • JaimeRoberto (shama/lama/ding dong)

        In my wife’s home country of Slobovia they could only choose from a preapproved list of names. I think Sweden had a similar law.

        Also, legally she had to put -ova at the end of her last name, indicating that she belonged to me, unless she changed her nationality (as Europeans view nationality). I tried to get her to identify as a Gypsy, but she wouldn’t go for it. Instead she changed it to something more acceptable to her family.

      • R.J.

        Yes. Sweden did that. My grandfather changed his name.

      • Atanarjuat

        Did she add the suffix to your last name, or her maiden name? It would be weird to marry an American and be Irina Smithova.

      • Name's BEAM. James BEAM.

        Jonesova would be totes cool, though.

      • JaimeRoberto (shama/lama/ding dong)

        Her maiden name had -ova. When we got married she changed her nationality, which is something you register with the authorities there and which is on your ID card, so that she wouldn’t have to add -ova to my Anglo last name.

      • JaimeRoberto (shama/lama/ding dong)

        Newspapers will add -ova to last names when writing about foreigners. So for a current story they’d write about Amber Herdova or Hillary Clintonova.

      • Count Potato

        What if she marries someone named Bendingo?

      • rhywun

        Germany too, unless you had the ethnic get-out-of-jail-free card.

        Was always torn on that one but eventually decided you can’t legislate against stupid.

        China only has around 100 last names, and a zillion first names.

      • grrizzly

        There are no legal restrictions like that in Russia. Boys’ names have to be more conservative because they will be used to create patronymics: parents don’t want to punish their future grandkids with a stupid patronymic.

        Also, plenty of Russian last names have the same masculine and feminine form. Certainly nobody would add any -ova to a Western last name if a Russian woman married a foreigner. Czechoslovakia seems to be way more serious about this convention.

      • LCDR_Fish

        Always seemed weird that Tom Clancy books always have the characters addressing each other by first and middle names – but I guess that’s a function of it – similar to what Grizzly mentions.

      • The Last American Hero

        Because one is named Vlad, lik the infamous impaler and inspiration for vampire stories and the other is named Han and leads a plucky band of rebels against the Empire.

      • Scruffy Nerfherder

        And the selection of words, the editorial “refused” versus an observational “did not.”

      • JaimeRoberto (shama/lama/ding dong)

        It’s like the phrasing, “failed to”. For example, in the coming months we will see stories about how Congress has “failed to pass gun control legislation.” All right thinking people know they were supposed to pass such legislation. They are talking past the sale.

      • Scruffy Nerfherder

        It’s so embedded in journalistic standards now that it’s easy to stop noticing it.

        Saved. The misunderstanding of military history by people educated in government schools almost seems deliberate.

        Yeah, if the government is droning or nuking its citizens, there are bigger problems at play than some random psycho going nuts.

      One load of bird shot will take out a drone.

      Was rewatching recently. The first season is rough. It took them a bit to find their groove.

        TBS (I think) recently cycled back around to S01 of Seinfeld. Oof.

    Imagine my shock — this was published in an actual, no-shit MSM publication from Israel:

    https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/328102 (concerns COVID vaccines impairing long-term immunity)

      Interesting…

      That’s the sort of thing I was thinking about back when people were saying the vaccine is better than natural immunity. The vaccine is good against only one part of the virus, the spike protein, while presumably those with natural immunity would have seen the whole virus and thus have a wider range of antibodies. But what do I know? I’m not an expert.

        In fact, it’s probably one of many things Twitter has shadow banned me for.
