Happy New Year Gliberinos!
I spent the long weekend preparing and then subsequently devouring a prime rib, after finally getting a chance to deadlift at my usual time.
Then for some reason it occurred to me, the new governor is a braindead sorority girl. So lets um…make the new year as we will, right!
…right? Fine. Linky linky time.
Despite allegations of plagiarism, Mexico elects their first female supreme court president. I don’t know how their courts work.
Gang leader “released” from Mexican prison. 17 are dead.
Pay no attention to this story, in fact don’t even click the link.
Geriatric socialist politicians elected across two continents for the past two years means the looming threat is clearly from the right.
Speaking of far right politicians, Bolsonaro is currently in Florida staying with UFC legend Jose Aldo. I eagerly await his claim of asylum.
A relevant tune to go with the news of the day.
Cock? Still out. Cocked and ready to slap those who would mock the great art of Firsting in the face with all the Firsting action they can handle. Seconders, get in line.
I’m not touching your pee pee. Stop asking.
Me me me me!!! I’ll take a mushroom bruise to the cheek if I get to tell you that firsting is an art in the way that taking a shit is enhancing the fragrance of the room. I consider that a win-win 😘.
This is seconder penis energy.
When you get my seconder penis energy, you’ll know. You’ll be up all night trying to get it out of your back hair.
Katie Hobbs bursting out laughing when she is asked to repeat her support and defense of the Constitution
Because she is in on the joke.
Most of them have the discipline to fake it during ceremonies. Her laugh was entirely appropriate.
My first take was smug triumphalism. Knowing this would enrage her opponents and rubbing their noses in it as the left is wont to do (Rachel Levine, Sam Brinton).
But I’m also willing to accept extreme lack of seriousness as an explanation.
Why not both?
“I’m also willing to accept extreme lack of seriousness as an explanation”
I’m going with immaturity as well. She sounded like a high schooler trying to give a presentation in-front of a history class. “She said dooty, haha.!!!! stop making faces Stacey, I’m trying to be serious”
Because she is in on the joke.
You’re giving her way too much credit. She is legitimately dim, a ditz, a mediocrity, a nobody. The perfect Soros sock puppet.
Watching her flounder through softball questioning, robotically repeating random talking points, during the campaign was terrifying.
Despite allegations of plagiarism, Mexico elects their first female supreme court president.
The US also has a plagiarist president.
The removal of Denise George comes just days after she filed a lawsuit against JPMorgan Chase in New York and accused the company of helping Epstein finance the illegal exploitation of women and children in the U.S. Virgin Islands and beyond.
Nothing to see here. Move along.
Epstein killed himself at a federal jail in New York in August 2019 while awaiting trial.
Allegedly.
I’m sick of your conspiracy theorizing. Having two guards fall asleep at the same time as multiple camera malfunctions in the suicide watch wing happens all the time. The fact that that particular suicide watch hadn’t lost anyone in over a decade and it just so happened to have been when a person who had dirt on at least one former US President and a high profile member of the British Royal family (and many many more high profile elites that we don’t even know about yet) is complete and total coincidence.
Back in the late Forties/early Fifties sometime, Bill Mauldin (of WW2 “Willie and Joe” fame) did a great cartoon that this crap always reminds me of. The single-panel strip shows the inside of a prison cell; on the cot is an old man with a long white beard, who has obviously just been woken. Standing over him are two uniformed guards. One is holding a noose. The other is tipping his cap and saying, “Not to worry, Excellency. Comrade Popov and I have committed hundreds of successful suicides.”
That’s the state we’ve come to – mimicking the practices of the 1950s Soviet Union.
I think the Soviet’s managerial & media classes were less incompetent.
Don’t forget the Pelosi house when his Grindr hookup got bitchy.
Again, you sound like a loon. It’s perfectly plausible that a crazed MAGA Republican who spent his entire adult life living on nudist communes outside of Berkeley, CA was able to sneak into the home of the person who is second in line to ascend to the presidency without any detection from his security cameras, private security detail or security system in the nude and hold a man hostage without weapons and then knowingly let him sneak away with his cell phone to call the police to facilitate his own rescue and calmly standby as he opens the door for said police.
The official reason given is that she didn’t tell the Governor that’s what she was doing. I didn’t know you had to, but maybe you do?
I’ve been assured a bazillion times that appointed AGs are totes independent and don’t have political considerations, except when they do.
+1 wingman
Well, lets be honest. Obama thought it was going to be like having Billy D. Williams in a gay bar.
I am sure Slate will be on the job of taking the PR Govenor to task. BWAHAHAHAHA!
Er…VI not PR
Geriatric socialist politicians elected across two continents for the past two years means the looming threat is clearly from the right.
Everyone knows that the right is muh-fascisms.
“Tonight there’s going to be a jailbreak, somewhere in this town.”
Now I know jailbreak as a term is not always meant to be taken literally, but if so, I would surmise said jailbreak would be happening at the, oh I don’t know, jail?
The song is performed by a black Irishman. It is too confusing from the get go.
Better Jailbreak.
Not feeling that one today.
How about this version?
I think I made a mistake
I, for one, am glad that we are supporting Ukrainian
dictatorshipfreedom and democracy.Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky signed into law a controversial statute expanding the government’s power to regulate media groups and journalists in the country.
Zelensky signed the legislation on Thursday over the objections of media unions and press freedom organizations that warned it will have a chilling effect on free speech.
Under the new law, the National Television and Radio Broadcasting Council, whose members are appointed by the president’s administration and by members of parliament, will have broader authority over Ukrainian media organizations and journalists.
That has CIA written all over it
They did it in invisible ink, so it’s o.k.
So my suspicions were correct, it is resurrected Abe Lincoln that is lobbying them!
Meeting the VP will be a little awkward…
Awkward, thy name is broken link!
Dammit Jim!

The article makes several vague references to troubles in Venezuela…
But can she screw in a lightbulb?
A 25-year-old Ukrainian woman reportedly attempted to rob a Polish bank, but her plan did not account for an 90-year-old Polish woman with a cane.
The young Ukrainian woman walked into the PKO Bank Polski in Przemyśl, southeastern Poland, on Tuesday afternoon, put a knife to one of the workers’ throats, and demanded money. She threatened to kill the employee while the worker packed money into a bag.
Police say the suspect tried to steal 12,500 zloty (€2,700 euro) in cash.
During the robbery, a 90-year-old woman suddenly approached, appearing to be unafraid of the young woman armed with a knife, and began striking the surprised robber with her orthopedic cane, which allowed bank workers to overpower the intruder.
Some conflicts never end.
The governor of the U.S. Virgin Islands has fired the attorney general of the U.S. territory who pursued various cases against disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, including a lengthy legal fight that resulted in a $105 million settlement.
Come on, that’s a conspiracy theory. She fired herself.

Yum, prime rib.
When I was getting Tres V 2.0 for school this morning, I was putting some things in the Ms X’s (the babymama) fridge (her Dad is a 3rd generation butcher). I noticed a lovely tri-tip cooked and sliced, clearly leftover from the weekend. I didn’t hesitate in saying “I think Ill have some of this”. Its a work of art.
Ill post pics if I remember.
The latest Taibbi piece is educational.
It’s looking more and more like the Russiagate conspiracy, while originally cooked up to go after Trump, was wholly weaponized to create PR pressure on the tech titans to submit to the Feds. And accordingly, the DNC was right at the motherfucking center of it.
I’m sure at this moment David French is in the process of revising his latest.
Hush pleb! The government has their own 1A right to tell media companies what to allow!

The media treatment of Damar Hamlin is getting bizarre. Some places calling it an “injury” while others have cardiologists explaining how normal it is for 24-year-old athletes to have heart attacks.
If things weren’t so weird these days, the Jeremy Renner story would be much bigger than a football plyer most people have never heard of.
https://nypost.com/2023/01/03/jeremy-renner-was-helping-motorist-when-snowplow-ran-over-him/
All of their own doing. Sudden cardiac events over the past couple of years have been attributed to: Cold showers, gardening and falling asleep with the TV on. This poor athlete probably just got that 1 in a million hit in the right place at the wrong time.
I watched the replay of the tackle. I think that’s doubtful. It wasn’t big collision, he used his shoulder to make the tackle and landed on top of the running back, then stood up like it was no big deal before collapsing.
When I watched the clip, I was struck by how little his chest was actually impacted. Still could be a freak accident, but I expected him to have taken a shoulder pad to the sternum the way the talking heads were describing the tackle.
I for one am not going to die on the hill of pointlessly trying to tie the incident to the clot shot. It’s as pointless and inane as listening to the left try and blame every single storm on climate change. Its not provable what happened people who try to argue that are just going to sound like a partisan assholes trying to link it to vaccines. Very counterproductive.
This. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
It’s only counterproductive because there aren’t enough people in high places who are going to repeat it as fact.
You already pointed out the left does do that shit, and it works for them just fine. No backlash, and advances a lot of their pet causes inch by inch. If the roles were reversed here and this was still the Trump shot, bet your sweet ass that the left would be out there today ranting about clot shots.
Yes, but both things can be true.
It could have nothing to do with the shot. It also could, and if no one raises that point at all then absolutely nothing will change. They won’t ever admit it.
So, I’m not going to attack the people who are saying it. I think there is a high probability that other athletes have suffered serious heart issues/death as a result of the vaccine, and they deny it and dismiss it by claiming no evidence. Well, should the people saying this about Hamlin just shut up in all those other cases, too, because some “fact checker” said so or because it’s a bad look to some people?
Is that how progress is going to be made?
My point was it’s unprovable. You may be right and the clot shot could possibly be the culprit. You’re never going to get access to his medical records or any of his blood to have tests run by doctors in a blind study. I really just don’t see the point in trying to make the leap without any actual evidence. Science is being driven into the ground right now because people are willing to forgo rigor and proof for political expediency. Don’t play into that. If scientific discipline dies, we all lose.
The Covid vaccine killed Reggie Lewis. There, I said it.
How many Reggie Lewis’s were there between 1993 and 2021?
How many similar cases have there been since 2021 to present?
If scientific discipline dies, we all lose.
It died 50 years ago or more. It took a global pandemic to expose it as long dead, but dead it has been.
How many Reggie Lewis’s were there between 1993 and 2021?
How many similar cases have there been since 2021 to present?
Hard to say, since every pickleball player in the world wasn’t considered a Reggie Lewis until 2021.
Exactly. I don’t doubt for a second that they’d be willing to say those things if it was the Trump shot. That still doesn’t make them sound any less like unreasonable loons who have a reckless disregard for their own credibility. I think we’ve obviously gotten to a place where the non-stop screeching about how everything is climate change’s fault has become counterproductive for them and harmed credibility with anyone outside of the people who see politics as a team sport.
When exactly can we link really weird and rare/low probability events that are occurring at higher rates to the covid vaccines? Again, we have seen a number of otherwise healthy athletes collapse on the field from heart conditions since the shots came out. This was not a normal event before that.
When am I allowed to speculate? And if no one speculates, what makes you think there’s any chance whatsoever that the matter will be looked at or studied? If no one dares speak the idea aloud, there is no chance that anything will be done about it (even if it’s slim now).
The left screeching about climate change every time there’s an event hurts them with who? Where are they are being punished by voters? Whose policies are winning out?
Somebody on Twatter linked to a Guardian article about the increase of sudden cardiac issues among athletes. The only thing is, the article is from August 2018.
For someone who prides themselves about being a pedant, I’d expect you to accurately describe your own article that you link to. They did not find an increase. They only have data going back 20 years, and there wasn’t really a comprehensive study. What they found is that it was more common than previously believed. A very different assertion.
Which doesn’t answer the question of whether it actually is happening at higher rates now.
And even if that’s the COD (h/t to MoJo), they’ll never admit to it. Ever.
No, they won’t. It doesn’t matter if the cause ends up being completely inexplicable. You won’t be allowed to ask that question without being attacked.
The right gets cowed into submission while the left can spew whatever dumb shit it wants because they operate through a hive mind from top to bottom.

Mr Mojeaux’s bday is today. We are at TX Roadhouse for dinner. I will let you know how my prime rib is or if I can even digest it anymore because of my stomach issues.
Fuck a duck. Gilmore’d.
I do not doubt that the vaccines have caused heart tissue death and clots (the cases in which the patient dies have turned up some strange autopsy results), but in this case the impact at the exact right place and time in the heart rhythm seems more probable because he had cardiac arrest (electrical problem) not a heart attack (plumbing problem).
He had to have been in V-fib for the AED to have administered a shock—it won’t do a shock on a flatlined victim. I just hope they kept the oxygen pumping through him via chest compressions so that he doesn’t suffer brain damage.
I’m no expert here by any means, but just from looking into it with a little Google:
That hit would have had to have been 1 in a few hundred million. Hit just the right spot at just the right time to create the amount of force necessary. Or, more likely, something increased the probability of the event happening in the first place substantially.
People have freely speculated that he may have had some underlying condition, but we have even people who are anti-vaxx telling us its just unseemly to suggest that might have caused the condition and progs going downright apeshit at the mere thought being expressed.
Here’s one reason to bring it up – get the family thinking about it. Get Hamlin thinking about it. Maybe he’ll be proactive in searching for answers, if reports that he was recently forced to get boosted are true.
If no one says anything out of fear of it being unseemly, well, not one god damn thing is going to be done about this issue. Nothing will probably get done, anyway, but there is zero percent chance if people are too scared to express a completely valid and plausible explanation for why this happened.
My father had a heart attack in July. Could it be due to the vaccine (he had the first 2 shots)
1. No one in our family has had significant (or minor as far as I can recall) heart problems. Cancer? Yes.
2. He had no blockages when he was thoroughly checked out.
However, he’s
1. 79 years old
2. Diabetic
3. Overweight (well, he’s lost 35 lbs since then)
I’m not either – just noticing the extraordinary things being said to make sure it isn’t blamed on the booster shot he got last week.
Since nobody trusts anything these days, his medical report will change nothing.
Then for some reason it occurred to me, the new governor is a braindead sorority girl.
At first, I was going to correct our sniper friend by saying that Kirsten Gillibrand is a senator, not a governor. Then I realized that while Gillibrand is indeed a sorority girl (KKG), she did her undergrad at Dartmouth, and graduated magna. Is is possible that the ‘ditzy blonde trying to act serious’ thing is just her schtick?
Hobbs, OTOH… from her Wikipedia page:
Hobbs attended Northern Arizona University, where she received a bachelor’s degree in social work in 1992.
I.e., a social worker from a commuter school. Not even sorority girl material. Good god, Arizonans, what have you
done to yourselvesallowed Maricopa Democrats to do to you?I’ve heard NAU referred to as “Not A University”.
I went to NAU.
*kicks pebble*
The funny part is NAU isn’t a commuter school and had on-campus housing pretty much since it opened.
Eh, my wife went to a commuter school, barely graduated, and now makes well over the average. It all depends on what you do with it. I mean, look at all the a-holes at Yale right now.
Looks like US Soccer wants to get rid of Berthalter but lacks the cojones (or money) to be upfront. They’ve gone back to a 1991 domestic violence accusation.
Also, i assume that’s the end of Lampard
So awful that his wife is still married to him.
The Constitution! That old thing?

Valdés said Latin America was more affected by Covid-19 than any world region. From a medical point of view, Chile was lucky, he said, because its public health sector remained intact despite the long years of military dictatorship under Pinochet.
Killing off the doctors is more of a Maoist tendency, isn’t it?
Ol’ Uncle Joe in the USSR was infamously not big on doctors. The movie “The Death of Stalin” has some hilarious scenes addressing it.
“remained intact despite the long years of military dictatorship under Pinochet.”
It’s only been 33 years since he left that gig.
At least Juan Valdes has a new gig, if he can keep it. I worry about his little burrito/burrita though, is he/she can keep up.
Juan Valdez was probably growing coca.
“Chile is not used to receiving immigrants,” said Valdés. “The arrival first of the Haitians gave Chile an Afro-Caribbean presence. Then came the Venezuelans and Colombians. This has enriched our culture and society, but at the same time it has put the state in a stressful situation. The tragedy of seeing poor Venezuelan families begging for money in the streets is something we all go through. We must fight against xenophobia. We have to control that.”
Those people come here because they think they will be better off? Holy crap, Venezuela must be broker and more fucked up than we are!
What’s the code for “undiagnosed heart condition” Mojeaux? I expect to be hearing that a lot, in the near future.
C19
Steely Dan concurs.
/too soon?
If it’s been there from birth, it’s congenital. Otherwise, it’s just an “undiagnosed heart condition” until the pathologist gets through with the body.
When John Ritter died, it was an undiagnosed aortic dissection, which, according to Dr. Google, is uncommon.
I42.9, Cardiomyopathy, unspecified?
And another random thing. I just happened to be watching when dale Earnhart snuffed it at Daytona. Nobody gave that crash a second thought at the time. Not the announcers, not the other drivers, nobody. That was, to all appearances a 100% survivable impact. But then, holy shit when the safety crew got there, he was dead.
So it was the Vax?
Very possible. One in a few hundred million chance it was only the crash.
I think that’s hyperbolic. Probably more like 1 in a few million.
The truth is out there.
But it isn’t impossible. Every few years some Little League kid drops dead after taking a throw in the chest.
I have never said that the hit couldn’t have had enough force to do what it did on its own. But that type of injury is in fact very rare in football. It hasn’t happened in the NFL that I known of in my lifetime.
It is possible that something in this instance increased the chance (aka reduced the amount of force needed to induce the cardiac arrest) of it happening. I have never, at any point in time, argued that this is definitively the shot. I haven’t even said it’s probable that it is a result of the shot. I have said that it is a valid line of inquiry, and that if we shoot down the mere suggestion of it, then you’ve already let the other side set the narrative.
Also, as far as I know, there is no actual confirmation of what actually happened to Hamlin. Alls we have right no are armchair diagnosis in the first place.
But if people can freely say that an underlying condition may have contributed here, than it sure as hell isn’t crazy to suggest the vaccine may also have played a factor. It would have increased the chances of an underlying heart condition to some extent.
Of course it’s not crazy. What is crazy is every time someone under the age of 60 has a heart attack, there’s a contingent who immediately comes here and points at the shot as causing it. And if said person happened to be pro-vax, they gloat and say the person got what they deserved.
I’ve never done either of those things so I don’t really feel like I have to answer for them, personally.
Everything about this situation right now is speculative to begin with. I take umbrage with the people who say it’s wrong to even suggest it out loud or publicly for reasons I’ve already outlined at length.
I’d love to see honest, in depth research on the side effects of vaccines. We aint getting it, and we aren’t going to get it unless a whole lot of people demand it. And even then, it’s a long shot. You aren’t going to get it by being silent when weird, improbable shit happens and you refuse to even raise the idea that maybe the vaccine contributed.
I’ve never said to keep quiet and never bring it up, so I don’t really feel like I have to answer for them, personally. Raise the point. Over and over.
I feel as though I’ve actually been relatively mum on here about the covid shots until recently.
I went from viewing them when they came out as something that sounds great on paper and which should be left to individuals to decide. Maybe actually had a bit too much trust that the pharmaceutical companies weren’t full of shit, even. I mean, you don’t usually want to kill or debilitate your customers (I didn’t consider the cozy relationship they had with government which protected them from any real liability). Then that transformed to…
They lied their asses off about the vaccines in every way, but whatever…it’s up to people to decide on their own. Then finally to where I’m at today…
These things are an actual abomination. They do next or absolutely nothing good and any potential side effects outweigh potential positives. Definitively. And people need to be hanged for misleading people about them. Which was done deliberately.
…but recognize that weird, improbable shit has been happening since the dawn of time, and don’t claim without even a tiny shred of evidence that everything is because of the vax.
I don’t disagree with a word you said. And my vax journey pretty closely mirrors yours.
The way you are being bitchy and slightly disingenuous about what you were suggesting about my arguments about this, I’d think someone like Swiss hacked your account. But Swiss doesn’t even try to be even remotely subtle, so I know that didn’t happen.
I don’t know what the actual odds of this happening on a football field are. I do know it hasn’t happened in the NFL since like 1971, if that was even a case of whatever this is happening.
As the post I just made states – I don’t feel like I’m even in the top 50th percentile of people around here who have bitched or talked about the conspiracy behind the clot shots. My anger had remained relatively focused on the attempt at mandates. So you made a sarcastic reference obviously referring to my arguments, and I responded.
Bitchy might be too harsh a word. But you clearly meant to mock my position, and then you tied me in with a group that I’ve hardly been a part of.
You’re right. I Was being bitchy. I blame Hyperbole.
then you tied me in with a group that I’ve hardly been a part of.

Last meal before
colonoscopyass-rape prep begins.And I cooked a bunch of steak yesterday that I forgot I couldn’t eat this week.
I just had one a couple weeks back. The prep is the worst part of it. Not eating for over 24 hours just is not fun. My advice on the gallon of stuff they make you guzzle is to have it very cold. It is not the worst thing you’ll ever taste but the sheer quantity of it makes it a bit formidable, especially first thing in the morning. Good luck and I hope you are declared a perfect asshole afterwards.
I had one in my early forties so I’m not wholly unaccustomed to it, but ugh….
Actually advice for all who have one is that evidently there is a pill that you can take instead of drinking that gallon of noxious liquid. It usually is not covered by insurance though so you may have to pay out of pocket. My mom got a free sample of it for her last one from her doc as she complained about the liquid stuff. I’m going to try that for my next one.
My doc just had me take a bunch of MirALax mixed in my favorite flavor of PowerAde/GatorAde. Wasn’t bad except for the sheer volume of it. But I assume the volume of water needs to be high to help flush things out.
Yeah you still need to drink a lot of water with the pills. I had to drink something called Colyte and it was pretty darn bad. Again if you just had to drink 8oz not a big deal but I was gagging through the last 1/4 gallon.
I got to mix it with apple juice one time which made it a lot better.
The other time it was just water and unbearably awful.
I had my first a couple months back (clean as a whistle, back in 10 years).
The prep isn’t really that bad – as an adventurous eater I’ve done worse to myself.
I had one in October. They found precancerous polyps so now I have to go every 3 years. *sigh*
Gotta generate that repeat business.
Oooh, mine is in two weeks.
While Haiti has long been in a state of chaos,/strong., its immediate misfortunes follow the still-unsolved assassination of President Jovenel Moïse on July 7, 2021, by a group of Colombian mercenaries.
That’s something of an understatement.
My fingers wirk extra good todsy.
There’s only 1 rule in English:
Their our know rules
“Since the murder of President Moïse, Haiti has fallen into the hands of the gangs. The current government has not been able to assume the legitimacy needed to lead,” Valdés told us. “The police and armed forces must re-establish security in conjunction with the building of a legitimate government, because when the government ordering the use of force against bandits has no credibility whatsoever, the whole exercise fails.”
What Haiti needs is an old fashioned iron fisted communist dictator to get the thugs in line and run the economy.
Ghaddifi held them fools down in Tripoli- cant argue with that. Now you have open-air slave markets c. 1840
Baby Doc does have two children…
Haiti needs a new Papa Doc?
I bet a Tonton of people will be cool with that!
I’ve heard a bit of whining about how callous the NFL was for not immediately suspending the game last night when the ambulance came out and players were crying. And lots of opinions to make the sport less violent. But no “here’s what they should do” suggestions. Suspend games whenever a player is writhing in pain? Take contact out of the sport (two hand touch, flag football)? Every sport has had deaths on the field of play. Non-contact sports, like golf, have contestants collapse on the course. If so-called “barbarism” in a sport sickens you, then don’t watch (which is why I don’t watch boxing) but let’s not turn every sporting event into a chess match.
These are people who will never stop watching football or making their livings off the back of it (some to the tune of millions), but who are just fine lecturing you, casual fan, about its brutality and barbarity and how despicable it is that you enjoy it. They will never offer actual solutions beyond mildly musing the game should be banned on rare occasions. It is virtue signaling and serves for right thinking people to read and nod their heads approvingly so their own guilt for liking such a violent sport is assuaged. It’s politics through sports.
Ask yourself what is the point of sports media sites going as far as to refuse to report on anything else football related today? What is the point of the NFL lying and claiming they never even considered the competitive aspect of things here and that the only thing that matters right now is the player’s health? Playing the game changes nothing about what happened. Postponing the game does nothing for the guy who was hurt, and everything for the people watching who want to make the situation more about them and their own personal issues. The word trauma is tossed around so much that I think some people get it every time they hear an opinion they disagree with. They think that’s an appropriate usage of the term.
Postponing this game indefinitely is about virtue signaling and assuaging guilt for the viewer. See this is super important to us here at the NFL! We really think this one guy getting hurt is worth fucking up our entire playoff schedule where we make hundreds of millions to billions of dollars! We are super cereal!
To summarize, this shit is all performative for almost all parties involved. Like damn near everything these days.
Very meta.
Im in the camp of de-sissifying contact sports. Roid them up, remove nearly all protective padding and turn them loose.
Its self-correcting.
Pinochle is a rough game
What was that about flag football?
Hey MoJo- Happy Birthday to Lazlo. Texas Roadhouse is such a Mormon place for supper.
Im going to bed- some of us work all night
Sadly, he would not know the reference, but it made me smile.
I actually don’t like TX Roadhouse. Their bloomin’ onion sauce is icky. The rub they put on their prime rib is icky. The meat was dry. The horseradish was icky. It was too loud (and I got over country music decades ago). I could go on. I ate there once almost 20 years ago and wasn’t impressed then, but this was where my husband wanted to go, so I sucked it up.
😟
For chains, I generally like Longhorn.
My wife and I go to Longhorn. We take the kids to Roadhouse.
The last two times I’ve been to Longhorn, they’ve tried to pass a sirloin/strip off as a ribeye. I was low-carbing long enough to know what cuts are what.
Hard Eight is my go to. BBQ and custom ordered steaks. It’s phenomenal.
And a good movie, too.

The saddest thing I have heard in a long time:
It has been 50 years since man set foot on the Moon. What a terrible indictment of our society, if not our entire species.
What are we supposed to do with it, since Wisconsin can supply our cheese needs.
Besides, Space:1999 was a cautionary tale.

So Solemn, much swearing.
“only concern is the players” safety”?
Un less they had reason to believe somebody in the stadium shot that guy, “player safety” on the broader scale was unaffected by that particular unfortunate occurrence.
Yes, which I think is (one of) Bro’s point(s).
We are only 6 years from seeing a guy paralyzed on that same field on what I believe was also a Monday or Sunday night game.
They paused for medical treatment, let the guys regroup, and they resumed play.
I don’t think you could do that now. This shit is spiraling and its only going to get worse. The NFL thinks its doing what it has to do, but it’s going to bite them in the ass. Where do you draw the line?
And where do you go as a society from this shit? What are you teaching people besides to indulge in their feelings in the worst way? There’s a reason men have been taught since time immemorial that it’s their job to hold that shit in as much as possible. It’s ok to cry after your first First and maybe when your kid dies. That’s it.
Maybe soldiers should just drop their weapons and weep when they seem their first battlefield casualty. Call off the war and such.

What does anything feel like? I know what things feel like to me but can’t be certain what they feel like to you. We can agree that something is blue but can’t describe what blue looks like. Why bother with defining anything since we can’t be sure we all experience anything the same. /derp

Are we using the RGB colorspace or the CMYK colorspace?
HSV?

Virtual football is coming. All games will be played via Madden 2023.
How do you apply the two-foot rule when playing in the Metaverse?

I prefer vice signaling to virtue signaling. I like fast women, rye whiskey straight and sloppy blowjobs. That makes me more trustworthy than the guy talking like the teen beauty contestant about world peace.
Whirled peas.

I knew one guy in that band. And I think Tall Thin Spaniard what Lurks also played with them. What a surprise to hear that!
The gym is absolutely packed with “resolutioners” as my kid calls them. Be a lot easier to work out in a month or so.
I know – it sucks so bad when people try to improve themselves.
Friends with the owner of my last gym. He loved signing up people for a year membership who he’d never see again. If they were still showing up in February, he’d try to coach and encourage them.
Better they try to improve themselves than try to improve the rest of us.
I could only ever go to public gyms when they were dead. I’m also just a night person. 3am is a good time to work out, though impractical for many.
Just call them fat fucks.
Two weeks tops.
On the cause of the Bills player’s collapse and responding to claims. I agree that suggesting it was the vax is not the way to go. But two things : (I) as someone pointed out up thread- doctors speculating from a tv studio is not science; (ii) assuming there are excess deaths from heart problems among otherwise healthy athletes- is someone doing a rigorous study? If not, why not?
You know why.
The only way it would ever get done is if there is a real outcry for it which doesn’t happen without something high profile…kind of like this. Most of the other deaths people speculated about were amateur athletes. College, high school. Some soccer player Americans mostly don’t care about.
FDA already found a correlation between blood clots and the vaccine. They said it called for further study. I wouldn’t hold my breath on that one. The story was completely dismissed by the media.
This will do nothing. Half a city will have to be depopulated before these ghouls are brought to justice.
If imperial Japan is an indicator, you have to rape and torture the other half of the city, and then you’ll still be let off the hook so long as you divulge your research notes.
From Tom Woods:
Dr. Peter McCullough pointed out in a recent paper that since the shots were deployed, 1598 athletes have suffered cardiac arrest, with 1101 of them dying. In order to find 1101 similar athlete deaths he has to examine a 38-year period.
Fwiw. I don’t think we have good data at all.
Ted S posted a story above from 2016 where it was found that cardiac arrest among soccer players was higher than thought. But nothing like those numbers.
They only had data going back 20 years when they did the study.
Definitely something hinky going on. We’re probably not going to ever get the truth, but doesn’t it look like this is hitting youngsters harder?
Youngsters who are athletically active, meaning that they are at vanishingly low risk for serious Covid problems, but they have to get the shots anyway.
So they get the shots, then exert themselves during play, something that had never been a problem for them before, and drop dead.
But we will never know the truth because they play fast and loose with classification and counting. If they treated deaths “with recent vaccine” as they treated deaths “with Covid” it would be more fair but also panic inducing.
SportsCenter currently has a cardiologist on who made the rational point that it’s easy to speculate but we just don’t know at this time if he had an unknown preexisting condition or it was bad luck or something else.
“We don’t know.” <—all we know now.
I have noticed the Premier League has stopped more and more matches for heart issues in the stands.
However, I cannot recall if stopping the game was a common practice 3 or 4 years ago. Maybe that’s why it seems like more.
It’s the vax…

Are we starting a thread!? Fat men don’t just die of heart failure that melts steel beem!!!
Boo hoo. McCarthy isn’t being anointed on schedule.

It’s funny watching the media latching on to this. They talk in hushed tones about the gravity of the dysfunction of the GOP as if they don’t revel in it and aren’t using it to score political points.
I sincerely think it’s better to hash this stuff out rather than have some kind of quid-pro-quo or designated leader that isn’t really beloved.
Of course, the media doesn’t see it that way.
I am watching a movie called “The Doomsday Machine” from 1972. It’s basically sexual tension in space!

There isn’t a trailer-The movie is so cheap it’s posted in entirely in YouTube.
Right wing extremists caught!

Those are some tatty-ass bums, with some old tatty-ass weapons. Hardly that making of a conspiracy.
Two idiots who watched too many movies.
