All the digging, analyzing, and addressing the past is done. Goggins now moves on to improving our performance.
Goggins’ seventh challenge, summarized, (from his book) is this:
Challenge #7 – The main objective here is to remove the governor from your brain. Your job is to push past your normal stopping point.
Whether you are running on a treadmill or doing a set of push-ups, get to the point where you are so tired and in pain that your mind is begging you to stop. Then push just 5 or 10 percent further. If the most push-ups you have ever done is one hundred in a workout, do 105 or 110. If you normally run thirty miles each week, run 10 percent more next week.
There is so much pain and suffering involved in physical challenges that it’s the best training to take command of your inner dialogue, and the newfound mental strength and confidence you gain by continuing to push yourself physically will carry over to other aspects in your life. You will realize that if you were underperforming in your physical challenges, there is a good chance you’re underperforming at school and work too.
The bottom line is life is one big mind game. The only person you are playing against is yourself. Stick with this process and soon what you thought was impossible will be something you do every day of your life.

The once golden state of California is increasingly getting under my skin. It’s more than the typical idiocy. It is the arrogance of telling other people how to live their lives.
My supermajority Team Blue legislature passed, and my governor with presidential aspirations signed, Senate Bill 107: Gender Affirming Health Care. As per usual, the law’s title is a misnomer. This law is focused on minors. Funny how that important feature does not appear in the title. But that isn’t what is enraging me.
I am a process-oriented guy. I believe systems largely determine outcomes. Human systems require reciprocity. Without it, trust and cooperation quickly evaporate.
This monstrosity thumbs its nose at the Full Faith and Credit Clause of the Constitution by creating notable exceptions to existing state law. First, the law prohibits a health care provider from responding to a subpoena related to a child receiving “gender-affirming health care.” Second, it prohibits law enforcement from participating in the arrest or extradition of a person based on an out of state warrant based on the other state’s criminal prohibition of gender affirming health care. Third, it prohibits the enforcement of child custody orders issued by other states that are based on a child being removed from a parent who wanted the child to receive gender affirming healthcare.
The idiots in Sacramento really cannot imagine how this would backfire if other states created exceptions in their existing laws. It’s not hard to imagine Texas prohibiting the extradition of a parent accused of violating a child custody order if the violation is based on denying the child gender affirming care. It is not hard to imagine Florida refusing to enforce an existing child custody order and granting a new custody proceeding when a parent has fled California with their child because the other parent wanted to provide gender affirming care. Not only will these things happen, they will also be used as a cover for other behavior that otherwise would have been revealed in the home state’s courtroom. The obvious breakdown in order has eluded the morons populating Sacramento.
I sort of hope Biden does not run for reelection and Newsom is nominated. This law will be more than an albatross around his neck. It will be a noose.

This week’s music.
So all a parent losing custody or non custodial already has to do is claim they’re getting gender affirmation care and California will protect them? Gee, what incentives would that encourage?
I couldn’t imagine doing that to my child regardless of the circumstances.
Me neither but with all the crazy stories from the news that have been shared here, you know it’s going to happen.
And doesn’t actually to happen (but it will). All one parent has to do is claim to want to do that and vacated out of state custody order.
Yeah, I wasn’t clear how that provision should be understood. Surely the custody order isn’t going to say ‘due only to the gender affirming care John Doe jr. is receiving, we are giving custody to John Doe’, but it can’t also be as poorly written as you guys seem to be interpreting it.
You can see the dollar signs in Vanderbilt gender affirming carers from here.
Ugh, insert “eyes” in there somewhere.
I need a drink.
Challenge #7 – The main objective here is to remove the governor from your brain.
Sounds like the brain was removed from CA’s governor.

I foresee a major uptick in luxury performance car sales as the lawyers get fat off this gravy train.
Aston Martin? Mercedes? Tesla? Bentley? Ferrari?
Not so much. This isn’t a make work program for lawyers. It’s an ultra woke law written by a San Francisco state senator who keeps pushing legislation diminishing parental rights.
In glibfit adjacent news, I extracted my Total Gym from storage and have been using it daily (except this morning). It’s good for stretching and range of motion. I’m going to work on increasing resistance, too.
Did you know Jack in the Sock serves breakfast all day? I had a breakfast sammich a little while ago which was pretty darn tasty. The coffee wasn’t terrible, too.
Jack in the Tube Sock?
I can also foresee doctors being found lying face down in their driveways in a pool of their own blood when they don’t show up at the gender affirmation clinic.
I’m genuinely concerned this will lead to an uptick in violence.
I’m ok with it.
This isn’t a make work program for lawyers
Regardless of intent, I predict it will prove to be a gold mine for the legal buzzards.
“Are you a child who has been denied gender affirming care in one of those backward states? Call Snipit and Snipit Associates for free legal advice. I’m a non-attorney spokesman.”
😂😂
So it’s the Camp Lejeune water turning everybody trans!
why are they crying about the late hit call?
He was clearly late, and clearly thought about it, he hesitated.
this will either go down as a great coaching moment or a terrible idea.
I see zero on the clock… Wohhooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Inspired a bit by Tundra (and maybe a little Goggins) October will be booze-free and light on the carbs.
October was also, “if not now, I’m looking at March”, because of Thanksgiving, Chanukah, Christmas, New Years, Super Bowl, wife’s birthday and, I’m sure, a bunch of other occasions when I’m gonna wanna get my drink on.
Starting weight has been noted, though that’s not really the goal.
Just rowed for an hour and change, watching F1 (but haven’t finished watching – no spoilers) and have otherwise been pretty diligent. Watching the carbs more closely will be good, but I haven’t been awful on that front.
Brain exercise continues – I’m around 370 days straight on French lessons on Duolingo (never even had to use a Streak Freeze yet)
90 days for me. My goal is to get the Diamond league “champion” and then turn the leagues off. I find it a big distraction and encourages mindless XP farming instead of actual growth.
120 days with a couple freezes. 2nd place right now in the Amethyst League.
Spanish.
Good for you, Slumbrew!
Every time I go VLC, I am astonished at the reduction in inflammation. My joints (especially knees) fell so much better, my resting heart rate is 51 and my sleep improved. And yes, I know that’s the booze, too, but damn it feels good to feel good.
Regarding the rowing, have you explored Maffetone’s zone 2 training?
I grabbed the ebook but haven’t dived in yet.
That said, I’m somewhat familiar with the benefits of lower intensity training and have been aiming to stay in zone 2. this was 1:10, with 1:06 in zone 2.
Perfect. It appears that too much intensity is unhelpful.
Watching the carbs more closely will be good, but I haven’t been awful on that front.
One of these days I’ll dial the “breakfast cookies” intake back. I went on an ice cream binge this summer; it has been a long time since I had a freezer capable of keeping ice cream frozen. I have eased off significantly, although I did just have a Klondike Bar. I have these little square bowls for stuff like cocktail sauce for shrimp cocktail, which are the perfect size for a Klondike Bar. Drop it in and let it soften up a bit… eat with spoon.
On a related note, i was looking for some low-carb snacks; these are delicious:
https://www.dukesmeats.com/smoked-shorty-sausages/green-chile
Dukes are my go to. Great products.
Those look yummy.
Honey Harvesters always get some venison snacks (teriyaki) to whet their appetites while they are waiting to get in the serving line. It pays to show up early and catch a snack first.
Can confirm. 👍
Chafed!
So sorry your state went to hell. It’s where my mom’s family was from (since early 1900s) and now almost no one is left there. Such a shame.
Powerful advice. Especially the process part. It’s so easy to fall off the wagon, skip a workout or whatever and just let that derail everything. Riding the ups and downs of the process gets you where you need to be. Thanks for the reminder!
Back to states – I know CO is a blue shithole, but somehow it doesn’t really feel like it. Taxes are lower here than MN, the people are wonderful and the GlibFit opportunities are endless. Also, it’s not my state, so I don’t feel the same anger that I do with what the shitheads did to mine.
Hiking the mountains yesterday just made me feel grateful.
Have a great week, Glibfitters!
Yeah, my family has been in Cali since the my Great, Great, Great grandfather landed in Frisco in the 1850’s, and yes, I am using terms the hipsters hate, ’cause fuck them, we were there before they fucked everything. Oregon’s gov race shows the R up by 4 points on Thursday, so god willing and the creek don’t rise, we may see a change! The outdoors here are unreal, and what little I can take advantage is wonderful.
(make that just Great, Great, while dropping the third. I blame it on the two local brews I have consumed.)
Lol!
I have no idea if the douchebag gov is in danger here. I assume that fortification will handle that.
Wow. I’m surprised. Betsy must be siphoning off some of the D voters who would never pull the level for an R, but aren’t quite insane enough to stomach the hateful dyke.
“First, the law prohibits a health care provider from responding to a subpoena related to a child receiving “gender-affirming health care.” ”
This seems extremely problematic. Isn’t this an unconstitutional infringement on court powers? At any rate at the federal level this wouldn’t hold up, right?
It’s an obvious violation of the Full Faith and Credit clause. You can expect litigation to start shortly after some parent is screwed by this law.
On the flip side, if somehow it isn’t found unconstitutional, this is dead. https://www.cdss.ca.gov/inforesources/foster-care/interstate-compact-on-the-placement-of-children-icpc
The idiots in Sacramento really cannot imagine how this would backfire
If there was ever any risk of them actually learning (without it being beaten into their skulls), the debacle on marijuana in the state would teach them. They will die before admitting they were wrong.
*state reps counting their bribes*
What debacle?
That’s entirely in-state. They can blame the kulaks and wreckers for that one. This involves 49 other states.
Chafed, I have a question for you; wouldn’t CA’s regulations on electric trucks being required at ports violate the interstate commerce clause, due to forcing all deliveries that originate in the state to use the mandated equipment? In other words, forcing out of state truckers to use CA regs.
If it does, I don’t see how the current requirement for commercial motor vehicles that you have to pay fuel tax to CA (or many other states) even if you don’t purchase fuel within that state.
Nope. It’s interstate commerce so legitimately subject to federal law. Congress permitted California to set its own standards under the Clean Air Act as long as they are at least as stringent as federal law.
Ahh, got it.
Same thought occurred to me as I was reading the story earlier about Uncle Joe calling to congratulate that coastie that he is about to fire.
I’m skipping the music. Just say no to Aerosmith. I used to like them, and then I moved to New England.
I let my diet go to shit, though interestingly my weight has held steady over the last two or three weeks. I am going to be an oppressive shitlord and clean up my diet.
I’m on a new strength program. I was working with my trainer on bench day. My last work set, after two work sets of five reps each, was to do as many reps as possible with 185 lbs. I got dumb and started holding my breath. On rep 10, things started going black so I racked the weight. The trainer and I think that if I continued to breath properly, I might have gotten another rep or two out.
Deadlift day did not go as well as I had hopped. I had three sets of deadlifts from blocks with 275 lbs. Five reps for the first two sets then as many as possible on the last. I figured since I was pulling from blocks I should have no problems. The last set, on the fourth rep, my back started rounding and I could not lock out. Shit.
The trainer and I have not talked more about a powerlifting competition in May. I need to do a little digging.
Hmm, I left New England and now I listen to Aerosmith. No, wait a minute, I don’t listen to them or Boston.
I don’t know what happened to you and DEG but it’s terribly unfortunate.
Aerosmith was great, and then the eighties happened.
I’ve seen in the news and in real life ugly divorce situations in which the woman gets primary custody by default, then attempts to get SOLE custody by accusing the father of not supporting the “decision” of the kid to be transgender.
Every case seems to be the bitch being mad at the ex-husband and wanting to “get” him by transitioning their kid without his permission.
I expect divorce decrees to get more specific in the future. I know my husband’s divorce decree included language about having to agree to any religious schooling, etc. Gender affirming “care” (barf) seems waaaaay more significant.
That’s an interesting observation. You’re probably right.
Divorce is already hard enough on young kids, and they are too often used as pawns to “score” points against the other parent.
The trans crap brings it to a whole new level, wherein the “single mom” can add to her suffering martyr status the “parent of trans” cred and be immediately elevated to full sainthood.
Won’t anyone think of the children? Seriously, though—think of the children for once.
Wail until the kid who doesn’t want to transition kills the parent trying to force it on the kid as part of the custody battle.
I’ll take that case pro bono.

Its happened at least once in Texas.
That’s sick. WTF is wrong with people?
I’m surprised no one has slipped FGM under the rubric of gender affirming medical care.
‘I identify as having no labia, I am nonlabia gendered.’
I’m not sure what gender affirming is but I think when the doctor whacked me on the butt and handed me to my Mom he said something like, “Congratulations, you have another one just like the other two.” Between the two they affirmed and confirmed my gender. It was all sciencey and stuff.

Lol. A classic. I should have known that was the link.
You just need to out the stem on the apple.
The Bailey Zappe era in New England has begun.
To be a bit more on-topic, based on the Bills score, turnovers, etc. me and a group of friends do exercises, each point is a pullup, etc.
I’ve found I haven’t really increased my capacity to do pullups in a single set, but my form is way better. Thanks Josh.
Lol. That’s a fun way to enjoy football while throwing in some healthy activity!
Far healthier than my “what the heck” pledge in the 2006-2007 NFL playoffs in which I declared I’d take a JagerBomb every time Adam Vinatieri kicked a field goal in the Colts playoff game against the Ravens.
Those with long memories no might recall that the score was 15-6, Colts, all scores being field goals.
That’s 15/3=5 JaegBombs. I almost died.
Still a huge fan of Vinatieri!!
Pushing past that internal governor is freaking hard. I’m not much of a runner but when I occasionally try to do a timed mile, it usually kicks in around the quarter or halfway point. At that point it becomes very easy to succumb to whatever excuse my mind conjures up so as to not run harder.
Somewhat similarly in jiu jitsu, it feels like there’s a ton of guys who can just dig deeper and reach an extra gear when they need it. The guys with a wresting background in particular seem to always have more left in their gas tank than me.
As far as what’s best to push past this, it seems to me that competition is best if you really want to get to another level. I think I’ve made my most gains when I’ve had people at or close to my level in whatever sport I was playing. They keep you honest and hold you to a standard in a way that you (probably) can’t on your own.
👍
Gold.
They keep you honest and hold you to a standard in a way that you (probably) can’t on your own.
No question about it. Get J to come out to the track and heckle you!
It’s a good day for chicken soup. I made my wife chicken noodle for her lunch and wild rice and mushroom chicken soup for dinner.
The wild rice soup is really good. Fresh rosemary, mushrooms, shredded chicken, along with the usual carrots onions and celery. Finished it with a light bechemel to thicken it using almond milk and only 1/4 cup of lower and butter.
Modified version of this.

That does look good.
I just wasted a chunk of my afternoon. I had this great idea to change a couple of locks, so I went to Lowes and grabbed a couple of Kwiksets. The goddam things are cheap(ly made) crap, and it takes at least three hands to get both sides in place and run the screws in. I don’t even have two hands that work properly.
When I finally got pissed and said fuckit, the Schlage went right back in in about two minutes.
Back to Lowes I go.
Buy cheap, buy twice.
I’m so damned clumsy everything takes longer and is far more difficult than it should be. Making do with the incorrect tools never seems to help either. Less aggravating to hire someone and go fishing.
For deadbolts Schlage is a massive improvement over Kwikset or most anything else except for commercial stuff. The one that they don’t sell at big box stores is a beast, the B560. Put that on your door with the reinforced strike box and they are going to have to beat the door to shit to get in if they don’t know how to pick or drill locks. The B660 is even beefier.
I got sick of all the junk sold at retail, so I went to a locksmith and got Mul-T-Lock deadbolts for all the doors in the house, keyed alike to several of their padlocks as well (one’s on the power box for the A/C unit). They’re certainly not impregnable, but they’ll discourage the weekend casual thief and befuddle the ignorant.
Yeah the Mul-t-lock ones are pretty darn good. They will also, like the Schlage ones, last for a long time. I’d recommend a couple sprays of silicone lubricant in the keyway once or twice a year and on the bolt and put in the key and cycle it a few times. It will keep it lasting for decades if you do that.
I use Mul-T-Lock’s own “Creep Oil” spray lubricant. Great stuff.
The one problem I’ve got that I can’t solve is that, like all deadbolts, these aren’t sealed against humidity indoors, so they tend to ice up the internals over a long winter.
Door hardware between the inside and outside of a house is a weak point — they act like a thermal bridge, and no manufacturer’s taken that problem seriously.
I figure there’s a diminishing marginal utility value on locks for your typical homeowner. I went with decent Schlage from one of the assorted build.com type stores. All keyed alike and shipped to my house. That seemed about the best value for me. I thought about investing in better locks, but Schlage was good enough to defeat your average meth head looking for an easy score. Anyone really determined to get in could easily do so in seconds with a hammer to a window or taking a battery powered Sawzall to the siding.
Now in a brick house with armored windows…I could see investing more in the door lock. The windows sales guy told me I was the only person ever to ask about the cost for armored windows when I saw that was an upgrade option. Supposedly bullet proof, hammer proof, etc. He had to call in to find out the cost. Passed on it when we found out the option came with a 300% price increase.
I have a burning hatred for the Schlege that I tried to replace my deadbolt with. Fucking thing would only go in at a cant, and no amount of tweaking it will seem to get it to seat correctly and feed the bolt into the jamb. The locksmith swears it is in spec (bullshit) and there isn’t another real locksmith in the area.
I am probably going to Kwikset the whole house, as I can get those to fit right, and anything stronger is wasted due to all the glass in the walls.
Good to know since I have to do that next weekend.
You won’t usually find these ones at Home Depot and the like, but they are super solid. This place has good prices on them in most finishes. They are bulletproof locks that will outlast you.

*Your job is to push past your normal stopping point.*
Push it real good.
Whatever works.
I feel you on the Governor, Chafed. I am so utterly disgusted by him and the one party state here that it is hard to put in words. The latest fuckery from CARB has me particularly incensed. They are well on their way to utterly destroying this paradise on earth. It has really accelerated over the last decade or so, I can only imagine what another decade will bring. It’s a month from Election Day and if it wasn’t for the two crony ass bullshit measures competing for online gambling you would not even know it was election season. I have not seen a single ad for our Greaseball Guv as he is basically running unopposed. I really really want him to be the Dem Presidential candidate for 2024. I want his scumbaggy ass handed to him by whoever the Repubs throw up. He would lose in Mondale like proportions if it ends up being DeSantis.
It’s not gonna be Biden or Harris, so yeah it will probably be Greaseball by default. Who else they got?
Buttijudge would be the only other (crappy) possibility for them. If the Dems weren’t so consumed by total hatred for El Trumpo they would want him as the candidate. I think he is one of the few that could manage to lose to Newsom. But Newsom against most any other Republican would lose handily. I didn’t like him when he was Ess Eff mayor, but his turn at Governor has been worse than abysmal. He is never going to lose in California, so I want to see his concession speech for the national run.
so I want to see his concession speech for the national run
Something to rival Trump’s denial of losing I’m sure.
He can go on the Al Gore train for the rest of his days to lecture us about climate change or some other bullshit while he lives a life of utter opulence with the money of his in laws and other benefactors.
*cough* The Getty Family *cough*
Yeah, gracious is not one of his defining characteristics.
But Gavin is so dreamy.
I disagree. Biden has a typical politician’s arrogance. If he isn’t dead or confined to an Alzheimers ward, he will run.
I don’t see him getting the nomination if he tries.
There hasn’t been a successful primary challenge to a sitting president that I can remember. Reagan couldn’t unseat Ford. Kennedy couldn’t unseat Carter. I can’t think of any Democrat that has widespread appeal to their fellow Democrats.
Who do you think could unseat Biden in the primaries?
Depends on whether the left side of the Democratic Party will turn out against Biden.
There hasn’t been an incumbent so obviously physically impaired in my lifetime.
The Dems will welcome someone like Greaseball with open arms. He seems reasonably healthy and he looks the part and that’s all that matters.
Yep. I think the pressure on Biden to not run is going to get pretty intense. No way he runs again.
We are all going to find out in just over a year.
For deadbolts Schlage is a massive improvement over Kwikset or most anything else except for commercial stuff.
The Wwikset has nothing to register in the OD of the hole in the door. Besides making it a goddam battle to get everything in place and lined up, one or two good whacks with a hammer would get you past it.
Back from Lowes. “Why re you returning these?”
“Because they’re junk.”
Turned on the teevee. Denver Broncos vs [your city here] Raiders.

How dare you say that about my future wife.
Sunday is my favorite day
Totally on point.
On the Glibfit topic, I took about 5 minutes off my best time up Mt. Diablo today, about a 3300 ft climb. At this rate of improvement, I’ll be able to pass the 80 year olds that beat me up the hill. Those guys must be trans-aged.
We don’t have any mountains that size here in the Catskills. 🙂
Unfortunately, hunting season began on Saturday, so Friday was probably my last nice long walk with Sonny for quite some time.
Head over to Mt Washington.
Wow! That’s spectacular!
Whats the distance?
The climb itself was about 11 miles. Overall it was about a 28 miles ride.
I went up Mt in high school long age and far away. Passed a Porsche 356 on the way down ( he was trying). Damn that was fun! Stooped, but fun.
My daughter returned my Xterra after having it for 9 months.
She left me with half a tank.
But she did get the oil changed; get it washed; and detailed it.
It hasn’t been this clean since the day I picked it up.
I guess that counts for something.
At least it was only half empty!
Lol
I suppose the on-going and continual attacks on Trump (e.g. 60 Minutes and Sunday Morning today) are designed to goad him into running for President in 2024 where he can handily be defeated. On the other hand, the attacks may prove so successful that the GOP goes with someone else better able to defeat Dr. Jill’s husband, Harris, or whomever else the Dems vomit up. It’s a perilous game the media is playing.
They just better hope it doesn’t backfire so much he wins again. Last time they had the advantage that he didn’t know what the fuck he was doing and hired a lot of DC lifers to undermine his own admin.
They want a nice, safe, easy-to-defeat Republican opponent. A McCain or a Romney.
Someone they (privately) wouldn’t care if they lost to. Because it wouldn’t matter.
Yes and Republican voters are dumb enough to choose Trump over DeSantis.
That is my fear.
All the Repubs I know say they’d vote for DeSantis so hard it would break the right side of the voting booth.
There’s an awful lot of Trumpsters out there who still think he can drain the swamp. This time for sure!
No doubt.
Better to just vote for the swamp’s choice and cut out the middle man.
Let’s just say Trump were to actually win in 2024. What exactly do you think he would do better than DeSantis?
Own the libs?
I’m glad to make him president of Twitter.
I don’t think either one will make more than a little dent.
Give it about a week and then we will hear about what an incompetent job DeSantis is doing with the hurricane cleanup.
From what I have been reading, they are going to have trouble with that. Florida is on track to have all power restored in less than 3 days. I’m sure national outlets will focus on Sanibel Island so they can claim things are terrible.
DeSantis looks like a Trump who knows how to use executive authority to a useful end.
Not a big believer in government fixing things but that’s probably about the best I’ve ever seen any government handle a hurricane. And that was a monster hurricane.
Pretty good deal.

We did not CRUSH THEM, but I’ll take it.
It took an OT for the Cheeseheads to beat the Pat-Riots, but a win’s a win. 🙂
I saw that BYU and Notre Dame are meeting up in Vegas Saturday, and I was amused. Mormons v Catholics. The last time I *remember* this happening, I was in high school (Southern Baptist one), and all my friends were like, “Yeah, we’re taking the Catholics.” Of all the times I or my church got slammed in my time there, that was the only one that really hurt. And I forgot all about that until I saw they are scheduled to play.
Do you have to profess the respective religion to attend those institutions? Or can you go through the motions.
I don’t know about ND. BYU does not require you be of any religion, but you DO have to have an ecclesiastical letter of endorsement. Church members’ tuition is less than non-members’. When I was there, it was about half.
“… DO have to have an ecclesiastical letter of endorsement”
Huh, interesting.
Also, you have to sign an honor code that a whole lot of people don’t honor.
Football players and other athletes get special treatment. They’re not supposed to, but we all know where the money is.
Yeah, I was particularly wondering how many ND players are actually Catholics and guessing not very many.
ND and BYU? Naw. Lots of unbelievers at Jesuit schools, anyway.

Disregard last. I think we are going to push on further, perhaps Erie, PA.
Kill it.

Wow! 😀
Morning Glibs. ☕😉
Morning, Sean.

Ban assault weapons!
C’mon, even the double barreled shotgun?
A .22 lever action? Interesting firearm for a stand-off.
Nah, it’s super-accurate and precise allowing the shooter to land lethal shots like a surgeon with a scalpel.
No one needs that kind of criminal accuracy!
And those shots will blow the victim’s lungs right out the back!

Sportsball!
Morning, Glibs.
Good morning, U, Sean, Ted’S, and RoaT!
It’s a good thing I have a tendency to wake up early – even after staying up a little later than usual last night, I woke up this morning ahead of the alarm. Which is especially good because I realized I’d forgotten to turn it on. 😳
So you’re saying that whenever you woke up today would have been before the alarm went off.
::sips more coffee, attempts rational thought:: Yeah…pretty much.
The alarm got me up today for the first time in months. And I went to bed at my usual time. I’m feeling rushed now.
You have a Geddy Lee talking alarm clock?
I was up before my alarm would have gone off, and I’m still off today.
Unfortunately, starting tomorrow is 37 straight business days until Thanksgiving.
Ugh. My sympathies. My longest holiday-less stretch is between Presidents Day and Memorial Day, but I’m spoiled working at a financial institution and mainly following the Fed’s holiday calendar.
Hello fellow miscreants, carpe something something,
Covfefe and sure, ok.
Mornin’, reprobates!
Howdy👋
☕☕☕
Good morning, ‘patzie and Yu!
‘patzie, I’m sorry ’bout yer Mets. 🙁 Do they still have a shot at the division title if they win both of their last two games and those damn tomahawk choppers lose both of theirs? ⚾
Braves lose three, Mets win three. Ain’t gonna happen. Wild card, here we come.
How did the dinner go?
Lovely, thanks. Until we got home and got a phone call from a distressed family member. After we left there was an ugly incident between two people who are incapable of putting aside their differences to let the younguns have their day. It’s about to get interesting here.
Too many people underestimate the appeal the living blob of hair gel has to insane leftists and the typical Karen types who love the guy almost as much as they love their hordes of cats. The Republicans, who are notorious for doing stupid shit (I’d argue it’s by design but maybe not) and snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, could always veer into the ditch and give us a President Newsome…so be careful what you wish for. See also: President Biden (he can’t win, no way, we’ll never elect a senile combatative quasi pedo as President).
Biden wasn’t elected, he was fortified.
We are living in the greatest conspiracy in history
I have seen an older political cartoon illustrating dems and repubs as legs of the same machine.

Good Morning all.
I’m tired…tried to make trees sheep resistant. next step is string barb wire around em.
Around the sheep??😲🐑🐏/deliberately obtuse
🙂
That’s not a bad option….
(around the trees)
Needless escalation # 38

I would think someone would mention congress in this one…..but what do i know?
“What do we need Congress for? We have pens and phones!”/Biden’s puppeteers
What’s a little kinetic military action to Congress?
An invasion of DC?
Petraeus is a piece of shit who should be in prison for leaking classified intel. Not to mention losing two wars.
It’s maddening that they trot his lousy ass out for opinions.
And then Russia does what in response, Petraeus? C’mon, you can do it. Focus.
Whatever Russia’s response would be, it would be called ‘unprovoked’ by TMITE.
If there’s nobody there to call it unprovoked, is it still unprovoked?
Two for flinching!
Petraeus typifies the narcissistic psychopathy of America’s leadership. He’ll say what he needs to say to keep himself in the game.
Sean: Not heading your way. First night in Cincinnati, second in Arkadelphia, the arrive in Houston.
I laughed.

Perhaps you misjudged the umber of people who are actually into that.
Haven’t seen it, but from what I’ve heard, it’s as if they crafted a movie to appeal to the least number of people they could get with it still looking like a traditional movie.
It’s your duty, America. You don’t want to be on the side of the homophobic weirdos.
Contract workers for me, not for thee.

Tell us again about those poor exploited rideshare drivers. TMITE.
Is somebody forcing those people deliver papers?
People still deliver paper newspapers?
Not for much longer.
Gee, I wonder why….

And that photo of the current crop of
cannon-fodderrecruits is just sad.“ The Air Force, meanwhile, was able to pull enough recruits from its delayed entry pool to exactly met its goal ”
Afraid to ask, but what exactly is a delayed entry pool?
It is normally filled with high school kids waiting to graduate but some adults delay entry for other reasons.
Diversity of physical fitness is our strength.
