I’m so hot I need a $3K bodyguard — men won’t stop flirting with me
She needs protection for her perfection.
An Arizona woman says she’s considering hiring a bodyguard because men won’t stop hitting on her at the gym.
Monica Hudlt works out five days a week but often experiences unwanted attention at the hands of fellow gym junkies who fawn over her flawless physique.
“I would happily pay $3,000 a month for someone who does a good job and can scare people off,” Hudlt told the Daily Star, saying her male minder would simply have to accompany her to the gym and to photoshoots.
“Working out and exercising is super important to me as I do it not just for my physical health but my mental well-being,” she additionally explained. “I get hit on at the gym at least once every time I go so it can get a bit draining.”
What draws the men so thickly, My Lady?
Thy lizard skin? The swole of barren hips?
Or, mayhaps, the mooseknuckle that peeks,
Like a sly promise of buttal delights?
Did you know that ongoing exposure to NO2 from gas stoves is linked to reduced cognitive performance https://t.co/1bjmHqnHVa

How many stoves did she have in her house? One for every room and two in the john? (John was the older guy who lived downstairs, and paid her to pee in his mouth.)
Woman Who Says She Went on Date With Idaho Killer Suspect: ‘Always Listen to Your Gut’
A woman named Hayley is sharing her story of a date she went on with Bryan Kohberger, the 28-year-old man now suspected of killing four University of Idaho students at their apartment last year.
In a TikTok first posted over the weekend, Hayley, @yellllyahhhh, referenced comments she’d written under an article in her local newspaper earlier this month about her Tinder date with Kohberger “over 7 years ago.” Since the comments she made, she said “a lot of people have been trying to dox me, specifically on Reddit, but I never thought the comments I made on Ho Bott News would make it to TikTok or Reddit or literally anything.”
According to Hayley, her interactions with Kohberger were “very brief.” They matched on Tinder, talked for a couple hours, and went on a movie date, but she says “he completely changed” when they got back to her dorm and he “invited himself inside.” She claimed he “was very pushy when it came to coming back in my dorm with me. But I didn’t get like scary vibes or anything from that. I just thought he was a stage five clinger because he said he wanted to spend more time with me.” At her dorm, Kohberger “kept trying to touch me,” prompting her to ask him, “Why are you touching me, what are you doing?”
At this point, Hayley claimed that Kohberger “got super serious” and denied touching her altogether: “He’s like, ‘I’m not,’ and I’m like, ‘you are, though,’ and he’s like, ‘I’m not touching you,’ kind of trying to gaslight me into thinking that he didn’t touch me, which is weird.” When she excused herself to go to the dorm bathroom, she says Kohberger followed her and waited outside. She eventually lied to him that she was throwing up in order to get him to leave. “It wasn’t because I was scared of him or thought he would hurt me if I asked him to leave. It was just mostly because I’m socially awkward, I didn’t know how to ask him to leave,” Hayley concluded.
After he left, Hayley claimed Kohberger texted her that she had “good birthing hips,” and they didn’t speak or see each other again. Speaking to the New York Post on Tuesday, Hayley noted that Kohberger “was not even the creepiest or scariest Tinder date I’ve been on.”

“He’s like, ‘I’m not,’ and I’m like, ‘you are, though,’ and he’s like, ‘I’m not touching you,’ kind of trying to gaslight me into thinking that he didn’t touch me, which is weird.”
We don’t even have to get a script doctor in to polish the dialogue.
But who to cast as the voice of her gut?
The song appeared on the Modern Girls (1986) soundtrack and the video is a tie-in product. Not a terrible movie, but mostly forgotten. Stars Clayton Rohner, who has many TV show appearances in his filmography, but fans of 80s movies probably know him best as the love interest in Just One of the Guys (1985) and April Fool’s Day (1986)–which also starred the luscious Deborah Foreman from Valley Girl (1983).
Also:
So she’s also cheap?
Which one?
I assumed “So I Tinder Dated an Axe Murderer girl”, but whichever… I’d say he dodged a bullet from the sound of it, but he presumably won’t.
Yeah, so…why is it HE is the one who dodged a bullet?
He was a creeper who preyed on people and then gaslit them. Or killed them, but you know, whatever.
Because it isn’t funny to imply she’ll be facing a firing squad.
Yes
Of course AOC weighed in on the natural gas stove idiocy.
Go ahead, die on that hill.
Or as the Bee would put, she will die on that hill many times.
Yeah, this is a particularly dumb fight for Team Blue.
Blackberry said that the administration has no intention of banning gas stoves so they are definitely going to try to ban gas stoves.
It’s a clever distraction from China taking Taiwan.
It’s a distraction from something.
And there’s no way AOC is clever enough to come up with a diversion scheme, which means she’s a useful idiot.
Blackberry said that the administration has no intention of banning gas stoves so they are definitely going to try to ban gas stoves.
Why wouldn’t they? They already banned your light bulbs, they’re in the middle of getting rid of your cars (already pretty much did that with diesel passenger vehicles)… hell, they got rid of decent laundry and dishwashing detergent.
This will be back.
Have they ever backed away from a dumb fight before?
*smashes down mug* What did you say?
If they can almost sneak in banging kids this should be child’s play.
The second they dragged race into it, I knew that not only were they serious about it, but it will happen.
Don’t they drag race into everything?
My ex-coworker (and most brilliant person I’ve ever had the pleasure to meet) has been thoroughly converted to skeptical libertarianism by Yours Truly. He had previously been mostly liberal but vaguely aware that the far lefties are bad news.
He was on an email rant early this morning regarding AOC and ridiculous bans such as this one on gas stoves. He even incorporated some references to “Orange Man Bad!”, “no mean tweets”, and virtue signaling. He is now pro 2nd amendment and is an avid reader of Hayek and believer in the invisible hand.
My work here is done.

So you’re getting fired? :-{
No, I have a government job now; not sure that I can be fired (unless I start stealing designer luggage from baggage carousels).
He’s from our previous place of employ, but we are in daily contact for our mutual sanity.
Outstanding job HS.
Sylvia Plath hardest hit.
Talk about gaslighting someone.
She has to die on that hill because government having unlimited authority to do as it pleases and to rule over the plebs is the entire core of her belief system.
Only because she believes she deserves to be part of the ruling caste.
I would happily pay $3,000 a month for someone who does a good job and can scare people off
A boyfriend would do it for free. In fact, he’d also buy you things and take you out.
At the very least, $3,000 buys a very nice home gym.
The favorite pastime of any even remotely attractive female is to feign indignation and pretend to be bothered by getting attention from men.
And the general rule of thumb is that it’s only creepy when it’s a guy she isn’t attracted to, and the male should inherently know if she is attracted or not.
/misogyny mode off
Tulip, please come back.
Be attractive. Don’t be unattractive.
I mean, you’re not wrong tho. At least about some women.
That is definitely all women. It is a foundational difference in how we are wired.
When we were both single in Atlanta, my sister and I would talk about our night out on the weekend. She would usually say “it was dead. Nobody was there” about some club.
“I went by there… it was packed. Total sausage-fest… so we left.”
Yeah, she would say, “but they were all losers”.
She is about 2/3 the way to being a dude on most things, but she had the “unattractive guy who thinks he can talk to me is a creeper” gene just like everyone else.
I used to wing-man a friend of mine and introduce her to guys she found attractive. Even those guys would sometimes get the cold shoulder of “he is gross” if he wasn’t so cute up close.
Guys don’t really react like that, even if there is no attraction. That sort of reaction comes later, after we realize that this was a huge mistake.
There is a great movie called The Tao of Steve, and sums it up as BE Good, Be great. be gone.
Be good at something; I don’t know how many women would come talk to me when I was running the table in bar pool. It was a sign that you have skills, and you don’t need to go to them. If one went home with you, be a good lover. Word gets around, just like for men. And lastly, don’t be there to fuck things up in the morning. They hate it just as much as we do. Be Good. Be Great. Be Gone.
Seriously, one of the best movies I have ever seen.
Be desire-less
Be excellent in her presence
Be gone
Love that movie.
Pool was also my #2.
She doesn’t want the attention to stop, she wants to brag about getting sooooo much attention
That’s why she’s at the gym 5 days a week in the skimpiest clothes she can find. Also why the silicon boobs are there.
$3k a month buys a heck of a home gym in a short time period.
And you think her getting this out there isn’t fishing for a sugar daddy?
Interesting, article says she has a husband.
Anyway, if she can spend thousands on those ridiculous boobs, then I guess she can afford a gym guard.
I thought they looked fake.
That seems to be the consensus, because I thought the same.
Shrug… I’ve never really been an expert in knowing, probably because I’ve married more than long enough not to need to care.
I will say that her face looks fake. Don’t know if that’s just makeup or surgery — but it has that weird pinched in look that just looks completely artificial.
But if she’s happy and all, what do I care?
Lip fillers and a lift at the temples, looks like to me.
I think she can afford both a husband and a boyfriend.
She could pay me $250 a month to ignore her at the gym.
Not hot.
Not hotdog
I started laughing before even clicking. I loved that show.
Did you know that ongoing exposure to NO2 from gas stoves is linked to reduced cognitive performance
So when did you stop huffing gas?
I’m guessing that girl did not go on a date with that dude. He ain’t a bad looking guy and unless his self esteem is really low (which maybe?) She is seeking attention
The date was in 2015. It was 7 stone ago.
Which is also a strong indicator of “Look at me cause you can’t verify it and you must believe all women!”
I’m willing to buy it with the following assumptions:
1) It was 7 years ago and she was cuter when she was younger as girls typically are. (To a POINT, OMWC… to a POINT!)
2) He gives off serious creepy vibes anyway and hence wasn’t getting any attention otherwise.
3) Her hair was a color typically found on human heads back then.
Old man with candy. Old.
You get to a certain age, and young and close to in shape is 90% of the way there.
Wut. We’re talking about a guy who stabbed four people.
Are we?
Allegedly*
Maybe they call him “Buffalo Bill”…
Dude. Ask any mythical woman still here. We’ve all met this guy, maybe said yes to a date with this guy. Yeah, I believe her.
You are the most likely right answer, I am just so damn jaded from people crawling out of the woods looking to make a claim to fame
It’s a very strange and discomfiting feeling to know that you’ve come in that close of contact with evil.
You figure hanging out here would get you use to it, but we’re chaotic evil at worst. Chaotic slightly-naughty, really.
Not even that much, most days.
Eh, I would say most of us are Chaotic-Dork.
Us men can experience that too..and you are correct, its like “someone or something must be looking over me”
I’ll buy she went on a date with him.
The story still has a “look at me!” feel to it, though maybe I how I put it in my comment down below is a bit harsh.
She should start by getting her money back for those awful fake tits.

“But who to cast as the voice of her gut?”

In re: Sugarfree – we always have Trashmonster

I think Jon Lovitz as The Critic could elicit some laughs.

I would watch that.
As well as Gilbert Gottfried.

Maybe they could train a deep fake to sound like him.
After he left, Hayley claimed Kohberger texted her that she had “good birthing hips,”
Damn, that line always works.
Sure, it works on lesser woman with less discriminating taste.
Right up there with “Would you like to make the fuck… BERSERKER!”
Did SDF-7 just say “making fuck?”
“Make fuck, not kill.”

I didn’t want to be the one to tell him, but with those narrow hips that girl couldn’t have more than 6 or 7 children

Valley Girl is worth it. She is adorable the entire time and Nicholas Cage gives a glimmer of his future unhinged performances. And the soundtrack is fantastic.

Hold up, maybe there is something to gas stoves causing brain damage…

From thew comments: “Must be nice to be able to afford food.”
They’re eating the best food your money can buy.
Through the power of SCIENCE.
CNN’s @BillWeirCNN: “The science is showing us having a gas stove, in a small apartment especially with bad ventilation, is like having a car idling there. If you have young kids, it can affect cognitive abilities, as well as asthma.”
I see the propaganda machine is going all in on the gaslighting about gas appliances. This dishonest horseshit makes my blood boil.
Now do gas furnaces which are probably the more deadly and debilitating source due to people not thinking they need to be properly maintained.
Oh, they will. Count on it.
Exactly. Please don’t help them by pointing it out.
Gas furnaces is the target, not the collateral damage.
are* the target
I think natural gas in general is the target. Ban it all!

Journolist lives on
Oh for sure. They weren’t going to not replace the original. Kind of like that “ministry of truth” thing. No way they just dropped it, they just went forward with it less publicly.
1. Journolist is definitely a thing.
2. There was a cunt in the Obama administration whose name escapes me right now who bragged publicly about how he gave “journalists” marching orders. He disseminated his talking points to his chosen ones and they parroted it across the media landscape. This was all meant to be flattering to him and no questions were asked about the ethics of the media members doing his bidding.
Ben Rhodes.
Failed novelist Ben Rhodes.
Marching orders, no doubt.
This has been bubbling up for a while. San Jose voted to ban gas stoves in new buildings in 2020, and they were talking about it before that. It’s just being moved to the front burner now.
Another half baked idea.
Hopefully it’ll turn out to be just a lot of hot air.
Unfortunately these folks lack convection.
Their beliefs just waft on the wind.
Oh, but they burn to boss you around, yes they do.
I say we demand that they stop gaslighting because it involves gas and that is bad.

I was getting confused when news reports were saying that NOTAM stood for Notice to Air Missions…cause it has always been Notice to Airmen. Score one for gender equality I guess. That was changed back in 2021.
Nav Canada also experienced a very similar issue this afternoon. Unable to enter new NOTAMs, though they didn’t ground the nation like we did in an overreaction. Still trying to track down the vendors for both.

You misspelled Waxwork.
Back in the ’80 at a YMCA camp in the Northwoods of Minnesoda, we had a pair of goth campers who wore garments that were too long to be called shorts and too short to be called pants.
We nicknamed them “Shants and Ports”.
goth campers?
Yeah, it was along the Danube, before they went and set up their own kingdom.
No really, they were from Canada, you wouldn’t know them.
FAA says $26M will cover costs to prevent 5G interference
OTH, it will need a few billion to fix today’s NOTAM disaster.
I am going to be pissed if they dump monies into the NOTAM program. I have been looking through their logs and how they maintain it and it is a walking fucking law suit.
I, for one, would like NOTAMS to be written in English. Maybe have a decoder on the website similar to the TAF/METAR decoder. (TAF’s are easier to read without decoding, but that’s not the point.)

WTF is this? Something something southwest light unserviceable?
Ha! Even worse. Our control center issues NOTAMs when we call out equipment. Well, our control centers are experiencing some serious issues up to 1 hour plus wait times to call equipment back into service. So I could bring back a weather radar, which is providing critical windshear and microburst detection but the NOTAM will remain until I get a hold of the control center an hour later. Airline ops are planning based on NOTAMS will think that the service is unavailable….
Seriously, the FAA is fucked right now.
Trying to plan a flight in the summer while avoiding firefighting TFR’s is annoying, but once the fire is out the NOTAM is still there until it expires or someone notices and pulls it down. I’ve seen TFR’s up for a week after the smoke is gone.
The FAA has been trying — and failing — to upgrade their infrastructure for decades.
Its not as bad off as the media portrays…

Okay attention whore.
Ick.
That member of the Itty Bitty Titty Committee was a porn star?
Yes. Fairly well known one for a porn star.
TLDR: I’m crazy.
Ehh, not really. Her insight on a porn star’s shelf life is totally rational. She did the smart thing, made some quick money and got the fuck out.
The crazy ones are the girls who think they’re gonna be pulling lead roles at 30.
They might be pulling something…
I read somewhere once that the most popular search terms at porn sites are “teen” and “MILF,” so she can make a comeback once she hits 40, maybe.
One of the Adam Carolla joke I like is that porn is unforgiving with the categories – a lady shoots a scene, it’s not her choice when it ends up in ‘BBW’ or ‘MILF’.
Ugh, no.
Hard pass. Not even a butterface, more a butterall. What a hood rat.

The news providing flak coverage is a sight to behold. Up to CNN putting up a side by side comparison on why its different this time.
I particularly loved the graphic.
Hmm, because one was President and could have declassified anything and the other was just a VP?
*rushes to wire* BUT NONE WERE NUCLEAR. *faint voice over earpiece* Oh and none of Trumps were either. Now onto Sports!
Yes Trump could have declassified it, but did he. “Thinking about it” doesn’t count.
It wouldn’t have mattered anyway, the DOJ has still yet to release records he declassified 4 years ago despite a court order.
Does it not? Im not defending Trump here but the president is the end all, what is the purpose of being the highest authority to classify and declassify at will if there is red tape to go through?
He tells a subordinate to make the appropriate markings. It’s really simple. I know that isn’t “in my mind” simple, but there is no one to gainsay it.
The problem for any prosecutors is that they have to prove that he did not declassify them. Unless we are going to get rid of the whole “burden of evidence rests with the prosecution” thing. Which wouldnt be surprising.
What are the markings on the document – any classified document has to be marked as declassified, on what date and by who’s authority. It isn’t hard. If the document isn’t marked properly – then it isn’t declassified no matter how much shit Donald shoves up your ass.
IANAL, but I’m fairly certain that shit loads of officially declassified documents still carry “CLASSIFIED” markings. Duplication, careless record keeping, etc. I also wouldn’t necessarily trust the executive agencies who spent 4 years defying Trump orders on everything from releasing declassified documents to removing troops from Syria to generate and/or execute documentation for declassification.
They do – original markings are there but superseded. Often on the cover page – which makes it weird as you read it.
“Aides to President Biden have discovered a second trove of classified documents in a different location from the last set, a person familiar told NBC News.”
His own people found them. Why would they make this public? Something doesn’t add up.
Scavenger hunt?
For Chinese donors to Penn?
Highlighting lawful versus lawless? Gotta make the case
They’re telling him not to run again.
Not the first round, that was some lawyers cleaning out a closet in an office he hadn’t used in some time. The “Biden Penn Center” was no more at that point.
How could anyone be that irresponsible?
^Unfortunately, it was a rainy fall evening and I was inside watching an NFL game I didn’t really care about when I left the room to clean the kitchen. 60 minutes came on and this stupid comment played when I came back into the room.
That is the best part. Trump took materials and probably had a good idea of what he grabbed. Current president? Has no clue what classified documents are floating about due to his negligance.
Negligence, senility. Po-tay-to, po-tah-to.
Or he may be forced out. Then we get to experience the coronation of Kunte-mala.
I have to consider this is it. This could have very easily been handled quietly. Does anyone think the FBI or whatever agencies involved would say anything in public?

Bad news, Shirley- you’re not that hot.
Maybe she’s banking on the idea of having a body guard because she’s too hot, making her seem more hot. Kind of like men with wedding rings seeming more attractive.
Eh, hot to 13 year old boys, maybe. It’s like having a picture of a Lambourgini Countache on your wall. One of the dumbest sports cars, but to kids who don’t know any better it looks the balls.
An excellent analogy.
To borrow a phrase from Dr. Drew “a female female impersonator” (said about Pam Anderson)

Now we know why they haven’t released his name.
And obviously not a cop. Interesting.
But carries a gun. In DC. Now, what sort of federal employee, who “does not work in public safety” but carries a gun in DC?
DC employee, not federal. Even more interesting.
“You get nominated because you a house negro?”
Reid said, “One of the things that, I don’t know that you said it, but members have said they wanted to highlight the diversity of the conference.

She asked, “So do you not believe that the idea was to make a diversity statement by nominating you?”
Donalds said, “That was not the idea because I was in the room when the decision was made by people who chose to nominate me. That never came up.”
Maybe not everyone cares about skin pigment as much as leftists.

Why does that not surprise me? I mean, the part about holding your finger close to people.
Run away! Run away!
Early in her State of the State address Tuesday, Gov. Kathy Hochul cited widespread fears of crime and the sky-high cost of living as threats to New York’s future. She said predictions of a recession mean “we will not be raising income taxes this year.”
So far, so good, and she followed that with her smartest observation of the day: “We’re already seeing signs of out-migration that we can no longer ignore.”
Heart be still, maybe she finally gets it.
But not a chance, not after she spent the next 40 minutes announcing a seemingly endless list of big-spending, big-government programs that would make the state less affordable and less appealing, all while giving Albany bureaucrats vast powers to override local zoning and building laws.
Last summer, Hochul told Republican opponent Lee Zeldin to “jump on a bus and head down to Florida where you belong.” Tuesday’s speech upped the ante, effectively telling New Yorkers of every political stripe in every city, town and village to jump on a bus or a plane and get out of Dodge while they can.
If you leave, you’ll miss out on the awesome quality of life improvements she has planned.

Oh sure, that will be The Narrative, but only the stupidest voters will buy it and he already has the Dem vote locked up.
Just a tiny little accounting error. Wasn’t like they were bullshitting people or anything.
But what did God tell her over Christmas?
“We’re already seeing signs of out-migration that we can no longer ignore.”
Already? New Yorkers have been leaving in droves for, what, 10 years now? More?
The obvious answer is to make crime and high prices illegal.
An Arizona woman says she’s considering hiring a bodyguard because men won’t stop hitting on her at the gym.
Monica Hudlt works out five days a week but often experiences unwanted attention at the hands of fellow gym junkies who fawn over her flawless physique.
I think she’s good looking despite the breast implants, but I don’t see guys at the gym endlessly hitting on her. Or maybe it is just the gyms I go to where people are there to get shit done.
After he left, Hayley claimed Kohberger texted her that she had “good birthing hips,” and they didn’t speak or see each other again. Speaking to the New York Post on Tuesday, Hayley noted that Kohberger “was not even the creepiest or scariest Tinder date I’ve been on.”
LOOK AT ME!!!111!1!!!!!
You’d think a potato sack to wear at the gym would be cheaper than hiring a bodyguard but I don’t deliberately wear a top that I can fall out of so what do I know.
Look, just because she dresses in a way so as to flaunt her sexual characteristics doesn’t man men should notice and be affected by it!

For those interested, NOFX has announced the dates for their (announced) final US tour. They’re up to 8 cities being announced, and say there will be 40 total.

The addition of a beer fest and lots of other bands aren’t enough of a draw?
Well….hopefully by June we are back east…so maybe….

Almost like above mentioned, marching orders were given.
And as I mentioned above, this has been in the works for a while, and she’s a big proponent of the Green New Deal. Heck, those people were even talking about cow farts. She’s probably been in on it for a while now.
I worked for a company back just after 9/11 that was trying to engineer a way to scrub cow farts from farms…they received a lot of post 9/11 funds and were immediately bought out by a Chinese company…go figure.
It’s unsettling how an entire party and most of the news media will rush to defend things like this, almost always with the exact same language.
All that labor enacting is exhausting.
Seriously, the perpetual condescension is annoying the living hell out of me. I don’t like these people. I don’t see how I could ever get along with them in a social environment,

The Biden administration has extended the Covid-19 public health emergency until April as a highly transmissible omicron subvariant stokes concern that the U.S. may face another wave of hospitalizations from the disease this winter.
“The COVID-19 Public Health Emergency remains in effect, and as HHS committed to earlier, we will provide a 60-day notice to states before any possible termination or expiration,” a spokesperson for the Health and Human Services Department said.
The U.S. has renewed the Covid public health emergency every 90 days since the Trump administration first issued the declaration in January 2020.
We have to pivot to the OMG variant while we work on the ‘climate crisis’ narrative.

Well shit. My electric lunchbox melted at the cord. I expect better from a Chinese fly by night. Not even a fake UL label on it.
This’ll learn you to question the wisdom of the Underwriters Laboratories!
UL is a free-market triumph and an excellent response to “but without the government oversight of X we’d all just die!”
Ugh. I hated dealing with them.
For mass manufactured product I get it, but we were making custom cell tower equipment. Recerting every time there was a minor design change was a majorly expensive pain in the ass.
Well, you should have gotten it right the first time.
You filling in for Pie?
I did think “That’s kind of a Pie thing to say” when I clicked Post Comment.
We did. The client typically requested changes.
I’m assuming the owners would like the tower and its equipment insured.
OTH, if your firm wants to assume the liability and post a surety bond I’m willing to listen.
While I get your point, antennas and filters are basically hunks of metal that sit on the top of towers. They don’t pose risks of any sort. The amplifiers at the base are another story.
I’m being tongue in cheek too.
Issue is when the amp manufacturer claims your filter or antenna dead shorted their equipment and they shouldn’t be on the hook for resulting fire.
Or the stupid thing through no fault of its own gets blown off and crashes into something or someone.
It stops the finger pointing. From the insureds’ perspective it’s worth it.
Point made, fair enough.
Woo hoo! Despite getting laid off last month I just got a job offer for more money with a different group. And another group in the company just reached out and told me they’d create a position for me. Getting laid off has been great for my ego. I feel like Sally Field.
Getting laid usually does that…oh..laid off.
Congratulations on the job offers!
Congrats!

That might not have been so bad when he was alive.

Great bass intro.
If you like that, perhaps this number from them will please you as well.
A later album, I suspect not nearly as many people heard it.
I mean, they only had two. Breaking Into Heaven might be the best opening track of all fucking time.
Huh, didn’t realize it was only the two (a most casual fan, just liked em).
One of those bands where the supermassive egos of the members prevented them from working together. They had a brief reunion back in 2011.
“brief”
That’s hilarious.
I love those guys.
Great selection.
Good song. I liked ‘Fool’s Gold’ better, though.

On the discussion of people dropping like flies…. let me take you to the land of tinfoil..
The Capital Police is a small force of some 2,000.
The DNC propaganda machine has been pushing “5 officers killed Jan 6” as a narrative point. One had a stroke (not a fire extinguisher to the head). The other 4 committed suicide in the ensuing weeks and months.
The crazy alt right press (like Glenn Greenwald) has focused on the bizarre claims that these 4 officers were killed on Jan 6.
But let’s take a step back.
A force of 2,000. 4 suicides in a couple of months??
Miam-Dade is a big force, with nearly 5,000 employees. My friend who works there says they have maybe 1 suicide every other year.
So……
Did anyone look at these suicides? Were they happy, patriotic Americans up until Jan 6 and then suddenly malcontent before getting dead?
Does the name Epstein mean anything?
Brought forward from dead thread because tinfoil loves company
Eh, if I lived in DC I’d kill myself too.
Wouldn’t surprise me at all.
Three of the suicides were MPD (DC city) cops, and two of those were several months afterwards.
They actually passed a law so they could call them deaths in the line of duty.
The Nazis weren’t the losers
Incentives, how the fuck do they work?
I’ve wondered about that too. Why would they commit suicide because of Jan 6? What about all the cops who faced rioters throughout 2020? Did they have a spate of suicides?
Did those other police who were told to stand down as courthouses were burned and city blocks taken over happen to be present when barricades were removed?
Of course not. The Red Guard was no where near as scary as the Brown Shirts. They were mostly peaceful and had a truly righteous cause.
Everyone in the NKVD was a family man.
“After he left, Hayley claimed Kohberger texted her that she had “good birthing hips,”
This is a totally normal compliment.
I have personally witnessed that line work.

Wow… I’m still coming across movies I’ve never heard of from 1985 and 1986 because I was living in Europe and not doing low-brow shit like watching movies then. The exception that proves the rule is the single movie I saw in a theater: Back to the Future.
But thumbs-up for my favorite DM song 👍
Did you see any European movies from that era?
Not that I can remember. I guess the host family I lived with wasn’t into it – I saw Back to the Future with a buddy when I was visiting his town.
I really liked the terrible “Just one of the Guys”. Like every teen or comedy movie from the 80’s it had a 3 second boob shot.
Joyce Hyser was a gorgeous archetype of the 80’s female.
Here she is, looking even hotter: https://youtu.be/621Nk3Ubz4A
Joyce was lovely. But I’m more a Jennifer Connelly fella. She’s also age-appropriate.
I wanna be her when I grow up.
She has aged _extremely_ well.
Crazy-good genes. Nearly Elizabeth Hurley-level. Except actually human. (Hurley can’t possibly be human).
It’s the stringy neck. If you do or don’t get it really makes a difference in how old you look, and that is the one thing plastic surgery can’t fix. Ever seen actresses with a scarf around their neck and they look awesome? And then thye take the scarf off? Yeah, it’s the stringy neck. See: Celine Dion.
Low hanging fruit, gotta go more esoteric…

Jennifer was in that?
No, man… Natassja
Ah, gotcha.
I like Connelly’s “super-hot girl next door” thing. Kinski was more exotic looking. Like Gabrielle Anwar before she totally fucked up her face.
Oh man, Gabrielle… (before she fucked up her face)

In ’82 I saw posters for Conan Der Barbar! in Germany. Sadly, my father and I had already seen it, so we went and saw something else.
the luscious Deborah Foreman
Yes. I still love that flick and she is spectacular.
The question of the day, though is who is better: DM or New Order.
I know my answer.
DM
New Order, by a nose.
New Order, by a wide margin.
Best single? New Order/Joy Division, Love Will Tear Us Apart.
Best as measured by volume of good songs? DM
DM had better musicians, New Order had more original music.
While both are synth-heavy dance music (or club music) they are a bit of an apples and oranges comparison. New Order is icily precise, the heir to Kraftwerk; drained of most emotion. Depeche Mode moved in a more emotional and ultimately carnal direction, incorporating the swagger of American AOR rock.
New Order is certainly the more musically gifted band but they leave out the grind of hips on hips that makes music live.
More musically gifted than Vince Clarke?
Early DM was as icy as it gets.
This is still my ringtone. The music itself is plenty icy, but the vocals are certainly warmer than New Order.
Correction, I switched to this a while back.
I should switch back.
Thanks, everyone!

Texas announces record $33B budget surplus
There was an excerpt and snarky comment that went with this, but it’s been redacted by order of Internal Server Error
Any government that has a ‘surplus’ should be returning the money to the people and/or companies who fund it.
That was the snarky comment, based on the opening line of the article celebrating that Texas had “an extra 33 billion dollars to spend this year”
Assuming debt has been paid off too.
The state debt clock for TX is rising, so I am confused.
At nearly $370 billion, so the could knock off 9% of the debt with a check.
There is no surplus if there is debt to be paid.
South Carolina sent everyone cash back last year due to a surplus. Just sayin (as you decide where to live)
Yep, I got a check for my 1/2 year in SC. CO also does that but refused to pay part-timers. And there probably won’t be one for 2022, as we “lowered” the state income tax rate from 4.45% to 4.40%.
I have the quote because the new payroll tax voted in in 2020 went into effect this year. It is to pay for state medical leave. The payroll tax is .045%, I think, so basically a wash.
I got a fairly fat check from Mass a couple months back for just that reason – they’re legally obligated to return funds at a certain level.
Mass., really?!
New York laughs at your silliness.

I would do a podcast but I am sure the PR side of the FAA would be….concerned.
I have a flight to Washington State on Monday that I am very much looking forward to, and if I get stuck in Vegas and not able to fly up there, I am going to destroy something.
It’s going to be a very eagerly awaited reunion with 4 of my former employees, 3 of whom don’t yet know I’m coming.
Should be fun if the FAA doesn’t screw it up.

I’m reading my publishing partner’s scholarly work about eros in Mormon lit, and basically just told him to tear it apart, rearrange it, and put it back together again with more cohesion. And he was going to submit it to another press this week. I should have done this 2 months ago and never got around to reading it until this week.
You done fucked up Mojeaux. You trusted him.
Yeah, and I feel bad too because he edited 2 of my books for free.
If it’s about eros, then of course he fucked.

“Hookup culture would be so much better if males weren’t so emotionally dead. I think more Women would be down for casual hookups…if they were also seen as humans in the process.
Not every Woman needs a deep emotional connection for secks. But we also aren’t down for literally being seen and treated as JUST a hole. Y’all don’t even be prioritizing ya own sexual health. Like…y’all don’t even make it enticing😂
Y’all be viewing us as an apparatus for your pleasure and nothing more and wonder why Women don’t wanna get witchu. Hookup culture is a lil too devoid of humanity for me.”
https://twitter.com/thecindynoir/status/1611240090428129281
I wouldn’t want anything to do with someone who writes “witchu”.
“I want to be a slut, I just don’t want to be treated like one!”
Life’s like that, I guess.
That’s literally the distaff side of hookup culture, in one sentence.
Yes, yes, of course… adding emotional attachment to hookup culture will always turn out well.
She looks like a man.

Who was it who brought up the Pill the other day?
Q
Perhaps she should take up her grievance with fellow women. Pussy, like anything else of value, loses it’s value when it saturates the market. There’s plenty of women more than willing to be a “hole” out there for a man with indiscriminate taste. That’s the competition in hook up culture, deal with it. Sexual liberation is all well and good but like everything else, it has a price and in this case it’s most commonly the pretense of romance.
No kidding
Might be time to move on.

Based Nuge.
Preach it, Uncle Ted.
Heh. I referenced him in a book, as one of the heroine’s heroes.
Based and… Ted pilled?
Perfect.
Brutal
Very true. I still fucking hate him.
My gut tells me there’s something wrong with Ted’s framing but I can’t quite put it into words. Something to do with the ‘salad is not food, salad is what food eats’ meme/joke.
It doesn’t matter, really.
Monocropping is just about the worst thing you can do. Wrecks the topsoil, uses a fuck-ton of chemicals, provides no replenishment.
Pretty sure they rotate the soybean, corn, alfalfa, etc.. crops around here. Anyway I think I got it – if vegans kill all those things then people who eat ‘factory farm’ chickens and pigs and cattle kill a similar amount because those animals are all feed from grain/feed grown just like the Tofu Uncle Ted hates, and then they kill the animals. Ted’s wrong about how to kill the most things, it’s still buying you’re chicken and pork and beef from Kroger.
Rotating means somewhere between jack and shit.
You aren’t wrong about a lot of the factory farms, though. Have you ever read/watched Sacred Cow?
Also, Massie has been busting his ass for years to get his PRIME act passed. We can easily raise/grow a shit ton of food. The central planners fuck it all up.
Isn’t rotating crops the opposite of monocropping?
Monocropping is growing one plant per growing season in a field
Not really.
You need ruminants to enrich the soil. So growing plants one year, moving the animals in for a season or two, then growing something else is true rotating .
You can’t exclude the animals.
The part you miss in your drive to say Ted is wrong is that unlike the vegans, the meat eaters aren’t pretending/clueless that their eating choice kills things.
Also, just because farmers rotate crops does not mean they don’t have to put a fuck-ton of nutrients back into the ground every year. You don’t get 250 bushel corn just because you had soybeans on the ground the year before.
*doesn’t kill things
Yes Vegans are idiots but that doesn’t mean being a vegan kills more things than eating factory meat, I don’t see how whether one admits it or not changes that fact. Ted’s argument only works if you are comparing vegans to the tiny number of people who only ever eat animals they hunt/trap themselves. I’m not dismissing his larger point about the cluelessness of filthy hippies, just that his logic is flawed and he could make the same point without resorting to exaggeration and hyperbole.
It’s just not true.
Monocropping wipes out ecosystems. Ruminants can thrive in places you couldn’t possibly grow crops.
A. Him saying everything but the crop dies in a modern farm field is not much of an exaggeration at all. The goal is one single species of plant, and zero living organisms that would harm or compete with that plant.
2. He isn’t comparing vegan vegetables to factory meat. He’s responding to vegans calling him a murdered for harvesting his own meat in the wild. Hence the comment about “my one arrow kills one animal”.
Then he shouldn’t have framed it as “If you really want to kill the most things”
He’s still not wrong.
