Date/Time: 11 January 2023 1047 EST

Location:  Breakroom of the undisclosed agency, at an undisclosed location, somewhere around Washington DC

Special Secret Agent Snuffy was wistfully in the break room, preparing his morning coffee.  He dumped the ashtray full of cigarette butts into a french press before drowning them all with boiling water.  He sat and watched the butts swirl with Chock Full o’ Nuts coffee grounds.

”Lets see the lies they’re telling us all today.”  he said to himself.  The break room TV came to life, predictably to the Fox Business morning show.

”Oh no…”. Snuffy began to stare blankly at the screen.  Reminiscing on the time he met Con. Gym Jordan…

“Thank you Mr. Chairman.  Mr. Snuffy can you please state your name and agency for the record?”  Con. Jordan asked.

”No.  No, I really can’t do that.”

“Just as well Mr. Snuffy.  My first question is regarding an incident two years ago regarding a Chinese satellite.  Do you recall the incident?” Con. Jordan asked?

“Ah that.  Well—“

“The incident I am referring to is the impropriety taken against a commissioned officer in the Space Force being humiliated by an unknown government agent.  His and/or her description of the incident was and I quote, “triggering.” His and/or her description of the incident suggested an utter disregard of personal hygiene—Both his and/or her as well as your own.  Mr. Snuffy do you have any idea what this person was talking about?”

”Well…I um—“

“Another incident involving the President. Mr. Snuffy can you tell us what you know about Hunter Biden?”

”Yes. He has a thing for Psaki’s butthole—“

“I’m quite certain of that, we all do Mr. Snuffy.  What I am referring to is a clandestine operation to traffic blood products from aborted fetuses beginning in 1972.  Along with multiple incidents concerning the President and the late Sen. Ted Kennedy.  What can you tell us about that?”

”Kennedy was a cunt?”

”How about this incident involving Andy Dick failing to register as a sex offender and arrested for public intoxication?”

”What?”  Snuffy was confused.

“We have sufficient evidence…SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE…Mr. Snuffy

…that Andy Dick was involved in distribution of phenylalanine.  The same ingredient in many soft drinks, found upon arrest for trafficking Guatemalans illegally into our fine country, Mr. Snuffy.  At the behest of your agency.”

”That’s a lie, we might do shitty things but we don’t give Diet Coke to Guatemalans.”  Agent Snuffy protested.

”We have on the record you called them and I quote: “Oompa Loompas.

“That wasn’t me, that was Trump!”

”Easy there pointing fingers Mr. Snuffy.  My final question is how this all ties in to the Hunter Biden’s lithium mining corporation.  Is it true this entire time the Biden’s were competing with a well-known, but will remain nameless here, American company transporting blood products from a Nazi laboratory performing live-animal testing?”

”Well…um—“

[knock] [knock] [knock]

The chairman pounded the gavel.

”Thank you Mr. Chairman, I yield the remainder of my time.”


“Goddamnit.”

    “”Yes. He has a thing for Psaki’s butthole—“

    Glad I’m not the only one.

  2. Scruffyy Nerfherder

    I think I need more drugs.

    • rhywun

      Okayy.

    • Shirley Knott

      Who doesn’t?

  3. Raven Nation

    OT: Amazon Smile is done.

    • The Hyperbole

      Well fuck, now I’m going to have to remember to send IJ money each year.

    • rhywun

      ?!

      Mine seems active.

      • rhywun

        Oh. I did get an email. But I was cooking and didn’t see it.

      • MikeS

        The sent out an email that it is ending Feb 20

    • MikeS

      But don’t worry, they’re going to keep giving money to “equitable” charities for the “underserved”.

      • Mojeaux

        Translation: You aren’t giving to charities we like so FYTW.

      • The Hyperbole

        Meh, it was nice thinking they were giving some microscopic amount to the charity of my choice but once I give them my money they can do what they want with it. Not really getting the FY here.

      • The Hyperbole

        Every other company I do business with doesn’t give to charities that I chose so Amazon is just reverting* back to the norm.

        *reverting isn’t the right word but I’m drunk and can’t think of the one I want.

      • Raven Nation

        Yeah, although it’s possible there’s a FYTW angle, my guess is that there were so many options the amounts were diluted to the point where it wasn’t worth the effort for Amazon.

      • rhywun

        Yeah, I wasn’t exactly thrilled with the $4.72 that IJ was getting from me every quarter. But the point was pooling all the other millions of Joes giving to th— OK I almost got it out.

      • rhywun

        Saw that. Sigh.

    • MikeS

      However, after almost a decade, the program has not grown to create the impact that we had originally hoped. With so many eligible organizations—more than 1 million globally—our ability to have an impact was often spread too thin.

      You fucking losers were picking the wrong charities. From now on, we’ll do it for you.

      • The Hyperbole

        Meh, I’d think you could set up a simple program to handle that but knowing how many of you Glibs work in IT it apparently isn’t that simple so I can see Amazo not wanting to spend money on some nerds to make sure a bunch of companies maybe get a couple dollars.

      • MikeS

        Of course that’s why. But tell me you honestly don’t think their money going to the “wrong” charities also played into it. They could have tried things to limit eligibility and thin out the herd before completely nuking it.

        Not sure why your Irritable Contrarian Syndrome is flaring up for Amazon of all fucking companies.

      • The Hyperbole

        I’m an equal opportunity contrarian.

      • MikeS

        Equitable, even.

      • rhywun

        Ouch.

        Lol

    • Tundra

      Lol.

      So, too many bad thinkers, then?

    • Grummun

      Regrettable. I enjoyed the idea of Bezos sending money to the 2nd Amendment Foundation.

      • EvilSheldon

        You too, huh?

        Same here.

    Caught taking payoffs from Pfizer? Sex scandal? Whatever, she’s gone…gonna be shortly anyway and good riddance.

      They’ll probably get someone worse, if recent history everywhere in the universe is any indication.

      Retired to a farm to eat carrots and sugar cubes. It’s for the best.

        Well said Bro!!!

      It turns out she is a horse?

      /looka da sizea does teef!

      • Stinky Wizzleteats

        I have sort of a big teeth fetish but, you’re right, those are a bit much.

    • Raven Nation

      I made a comment on the dead thread: she’s behind in the polls, but not catastrophically so. If I had to guess, I’d suspect she’s being tapped for some kind of international role; perhaps future UN sec-gen. And, she probably is exhausted: five+ years of running the lives of 5 million people WILL wear you out.

      • rhywun

        Yeah, she got the opposite lessons I got from my limited management experience.

  5. Brochettaward

    I have an exciting, breathtaking, and exhilarating new Firsting proposal for tomorrow all planned out. Normally, I like to let the Firsts flow through me, but this one is too important not to plan a little. It is a very exciting, once in a lifetime offer.

    Be there or be second.

    • Brochettaward

      *Most of your are already second, but still…

    • MikeS

      I await with masturbated breath!

      • Brochettaward

        I already know how many of you pleasure yourself to my Firsts.

    Shit, now you tell me.

    • Festus

      Shit. When I worked at Canada Post they used to store mail-in ballots in the supervisors office and then “pretty please” ask me not to go in there. No cameras, no nothing. That building was my personal fiefdom for six hours nearly every night.

      • Chafed

        I can only imagine what got on those ballots.

      • Sean

        Ewwww.

  8. EvilSheldon

    The humpday Zoom link is prompting me for a meeting passcode. Have I done something wrong? If so, I promise to be more discreet next time…

    • The Hyperbole

      for some reason you need to be signed in to zoom, your basic fee account works, to get to the Wednesday Glibzoom. Shouldn’t need a passcode if your signed in.

      • The Hyperbole

        you’re (TED”S)

    I assume he numbs it with cocaine before he penetrates?

    That was never a thing in the before times.

    Or maybe Spectrum just sucks balls.

      • rhywun

        I mean, it’s so frequent and rebooting does nothing.

        I suppose I could play a game or some music.

      We have Rectum. It does that occasionally. I’m getting more and more pissed at Amazon Prime Streaming, because it’s been doing it a lot.

        I miss the old days when shit worked.

    In case you missed it (and you probably did): another white supremacist MAGA incel with an Automatic Rifle-15 plugged a bunch of innocent partygoers in bucolic south Florida.

    Okay, the “MLK Day Event” kinda gives away the plot…

    • MikeS

      It wasn’t a gang incident, two rival gangs that got into a beef there,” Hester said. “We’ve determined that this was a dispute between two or more individuals that took place there are event. Some of those individuals that were involved in this dispute are documented gang members.”

      • Shpip

        Not a gang incident, just a purported incident between gang members. Totally different, you see.

      • rhywun

        Um… OK.

        Is it bad I actually like that one?

      • Shpip

        I had sorta hoped that the facial tattoos were, like KISS’s makeup, just that — makeup, and just part of is over-the-top act.

        Nope.

        Shockingly, a rapper whose schtick is cocaine and guns was arrested on drug and gun charges. Which, lemme tell ya, is pretty hard to do in Miami-Dade. You have to admire someone who really goes the extra mile for his art, though.

      • Chafed

        Those are some awful tattoos.

      • Chafed

        Can I assume he was shot by a rival?

      • slumbrew

        That is a rough 27.

        Phillip Katsabanis

        I blame his overbearing Greek parents.

        I’m disappointed. He talks the talk but won’t walk the walk.

        “Can I assume hope…”

      • Shpip

        a young man toils in the sub tropical sun to make a better life for him and his family.

        The lad better be careful. Filming rap videos in Miami comes with its own risks these days.

        I suspect the Lutherans are behind it yet again.

      • Chafed

        I never saw that on an episode of Miami Vice.

  12. rhywun

    Bit of an inside-baseball pissing match has been unfolding in NY as Kathy’s Latinx (because of course that’s relevant!) judge-pick is apparently deemed too white supremacist for the senate. (He follows the law! *faints*)

    I dunno what any of this means but the gist I’m getting is that our radical governor has met her match in an even more amazeballsly radical legislature. Fun times.

    • Chafed

      I think that’s right. I was wondering how far off the rails NYS can go. Looks like we’re going to find out.

      • rhywun

        Around here it’s very much the lower you go, the more batshit leftist it gets.

        You should see some of the city council and state-level apparatchiks – it’s unbelievable. And that’s the pool from which such creatures fail upwards.

      • Chafed

        I’m genuinely curious to learn what it will take to get one of the major banks to move their hq out of NYC. They seem willing to endure nearly anything to be there. But I assume they all have a breaking point. I wonder if those creatures will find it.

      • rhywun

        They’ve probably moved all the non-execs out of Manhattan like my company did.

        But yeah, my company’s HQ is still there even though the vast majority of workers are in Ohio.

      • Rat on a train

        NY will still claim a cut of their income.

      • rhywun

        ? AFAIK NY doesn’t tax workers who neither work nor live there.

      • Rat on a train

        They claimed income for people working from home if they were assigned to a NY office so why not get a cut if the HQ is there.

      • rhywun

        True. NJ does that to me.

        But my company has offices all over the world. They’d have a riot on their hands if NY tried to tax all of them.

        I thought I was the only person to be stupid/crazy enough to be up this late.

        I have to go to bed soon; making a presentation tomorrow morning to a group of engineers and physicists on the topic of nuclear fusion. Hard to do on just a couple hours’ sleep.

        I’m always left with the question of ‘so?’

        I thought people’s personal life was out of reach. We’ve got congress people fucking chinese spies, or married to them and this is what people care about?

        Lying about your past? How about the president. Sure, the guy sucks (and blows?) but he’s nothing unusual for our government, sadly.

      • rhywun

        Yeah, the hive seems to have it in for him in particular. He flipped a district so the Dems certainly hate him for that but there’s gotta be more.

        Like they tried with that Gaetz guy a while back.

    • Gender Traitor

      Good morning, Sean, ‘bodru, Shirley, Scruffy, Stinky, homey, rhy, and Roat.

      I sure hope today is better than yesterday – after hitting a nasty pothole Tuesday evening, I discovered yesterday that the tire was low on air. Discount Tire said the tire was fine, but the wheel is hosed. They refilled the tire and sealed it the best they could so I could limp home. Today I get to use a day of vacation to see if the Subaru dealer can get the wheel sooner than DT can. And I’ll have to see if AAA will tow it one place or the other. 😒

      • UnCivilServant

        Let me guess, the car doesn’t come with a spare.

      • Gender Traitor

        Well, yeah, but it’s one of those little tiny ones. I didn’t feel like driving all the way home – meaning “across town” – on that dinky thing. In the dark. And the rain.

      • Grosspatzer

        Boo, that stinks.

        OTOH, might be a good start to a new episode of Subaru Horror Theater…

      • Sean

        Not possible to straighten the wheel?

      • Gender Traitor

        Well, Discount Tire didn’t suggest that as an option. They didn’t charge me a cent to check the tire, seal it, and refill it the best they could, so I THINK they’re relatively trustworthy. (I’ve dealt with them before – bought the current tires from them, and they’ve replaced one damaged one for free.)

      • UnCivilServant

        Most mechnics’ shops do not have the equipment to do so quickly, and the amount of labor they’d charge would end up costing enough that the cost of getting a new rim would be lower, and quicker to change out. Plus, a field repair of a rim would be questionable on durability and air seal quality. better to just recycle the metal on the bent rim and replace with new.

      • Sean

        I’ve had them straightened before just fine. I also had one so bad that they said “nope”.

        $125 vs. $500+ is noticeable.

      Previously, only eight species of hydnora – which was first described in 1775 – were known to science.

      A pet peeve of mine is referring to “science” as if it were an entity.

      • Rat on a train

        Be careful you don’t make science mad. Science can get violent.

      • Scruffyy Nerfherder

        In the beginning was the Data, and the Data was with Science, and the Data was Science.

        And the words of the Science are flawless, like silver purified in a crucible, like gold refined seven times.

        Blessed rather are those who hear the word of Science and obey it.

    Swedish govt moves to get rid of permits needed for dancing

    Sweden’s center-right coalition government wants to cut red tape when it comes to dancing by abolishing a decade-old requirement for restaurants, nightclubs and other venues to obtain permits before they let patrons shimmy and sway.

    Swedish broadcaster SVT said that for the past 20 years, lawmakers from every party except the Social Democrats have favored abolishing the permits.

        The last time Ukraine Britain Special Forces attacked Crimea, Russia responded by barraging the entirety of Ukraine with missiles.

        If you want to escalate the war, going after Crimea will do it. It’s a hard redline for Moscow. They will not cede Crimea, ever. They’ll nuke somebody over it.

    Huh, Apple tried to roll this out a couple of years ago, withdrew it because of the uproar, and have now rolled it out, on MacOS at least-they’ll follow with the iPhone and iPad as sure as night follows day though, with no announcement or fanfare-can’t turn it off either. Time to move back over to Linux I reckon.
