Love me some Terry Bradshaw.
Aside from a questionable defensive holding call that ensured the Chiefs could win the game without eh Eagles having a chance with a minute and a half left, it was a pretty enjoyable Super Bowl. The commercials, while uninspired, weren’t an endless stream of social signaling. And the halftime show was an opportunity for me to understand even more that entertainment isn’t as important as making shrimp cocktails and taking a shit. And that’s it for sports.
This whole story is playing out like the Spiderman meme where the two people dressed in the costume are pointing at each other. Meanwhile, we’re all just waiting on one of them to blow up a city block when they overreact.
Atlantic City soon
I suppose these people never considered a market solution. You know, like somebody opening a “no smoking” casino and raking in all that sweet cash from the people who don’t want to go to a casino where people smoke. That would make way too much sense for these morons. Oh well, they’re all gonna be empty anyway once the NYC casinos open.
Part of this headline is true. I’ll leave it to you to determine which part of it is an absolutely unprovable bunch of bullshit.
There’s a lot of information missing from this. Namely a photo of the accused, the alleged victim, and any details about the incident.
Fuck off, space man
One of these people wants war. The other is seeking a way to deescalate and/or end it. So who is the villain in the story?
And now four lives are ruined. I hope the three are held accountable for causing the death of the fourth, but I have to ask…where the fuck are the parents of these 13 year old children?
“Holding it hostage” might be a bit dramatic here. He can do whatever he wants with his property. That includes pissing its potential revenue away. Because it’s his. Also, this guy sure sounds like a weird fucker.
Dear lord, do you assholes hear yourselves? The word “chow” has been synonymous with “food” for generations. The only bigots here are you, complainers. They’re you.
Here’s one that will make you smile. I owe it to you after that string of links. And here’s another masterpiece. Enjoy them both.
And enjoy this lovely Monday, dear friends.
“Part of this headline is true. I’ll leave it to you to determine which part of it is an absolutely unprovable bunch of bullshit.”
if you dare ask for evidence, you are a hater of humanity and Gaia!
Part of this headline is true
NBC News?
“he commercials, while uninspired, weren’t an endless stream of social signaling.”
I think we are just getting used to it.
As I posted yesterday, part of the reason the commercials suck now is that shocking is not allowed. Sexy is not allowed. Funny is not allowed. Otherwise people will take offense.
A common theme behind so much of today’s craziness.
The new prudes somehow manage to remain completely offensive in their own presentations.
The one ad that everyone at the watch party I was at agreed won was the one with the station guide coming up and changing channels. There were enough kids underfoot that we were all wondering which one of them had grabbed the remote.
That one one got us but good. I can only imagine the reaction at some large sports bars… “@#$%, turn it back!”
So – what were they selling?
It was an ad for Tubi. Got everyone to pay attention to the screen, I can tell you that.
I just found out the By the Sword, a fencing movie starring F. Murray Abraham, Julia Robert’s brother and The Chick from Timecop is on Tubi. Which is great, because it’s apparently never been released on any media other than VHS.
It’s probably somebody’s scan of the VHS. Which is better than nothing!
My copy is a used-from-a -rental-store tape. Unfortunately, I have no VHS player.
“There’s a lot of information missing from this. Namely a photo of the accused, the alleged victim, and any details about the incident.”
Assuming this is all another race hoax until evidence – real evidence – to prove this shit pops up.
History has shown this the only sane way to approach it. Virtually every time you hear this, particularly at campuses, it’s discovered to have been a false flag.
I have a hard time believing there are blatantly hard core racists at Harvard.
I don’t. They just have a hate-on for Whites and Asians.
Really?
I absolutely think they’re 90% racists. They’re just racist in the fashionable way.
Yeah, I just assume they’re complete elitist assholes. Race doesn’t really factor into it.
Couldn’t find a picture, but their LinkedIn mentions some African law group they were a member of. The intriguing thing about the story is the person in question apparently has a history of violence. Wonder how they got away with staying in school with multiple past violent episodes?

Good morning, People.
Anything interesting happen recently?
Balloons all over da house!
Why are the Chinese spying on you?
I thought of you yesterday at church. Our pastor covered some of the topics from your recent article.
He even took a shot at Augustine.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqtjT07LoWE&t=580s
Think he’s a lurker?
I really enjoyed that article, by the way. I didn’t get a chance to read it until the next day, but it was terrific.
Yes, it was very good.
No. He just hit the appropriate part of Romans.
He started a series on the book of Romans last fall, he is almost thru chapter 8 now.
“And now four lives are ruined. I hope the three are held accountable for causing the death of the fourth, but I have to ask…where the fuck are the parents of these 13 year old children?”
How dare you to question the government (cause everyone knows it takes a village)?
I’m stupid. Twice in a week gave myself food poisoning. I’m not sure how my wife does it but she’s able to tell when meat has gone bad. I’m not.
Stay away from Taco Hell, brah!
But the FDA declared Taco Bell safe and effective.
There is a laxative joke in there, somewhere…
It’s a combination of sight and smell. If you have trouble with either, you’ll have trouble telling if the meat is any good.
The safest bet is to not let it linger.
If it didn’t come out of the freezer, check for a slimy layer. if you see that, you chuck the shit.
There’s a stage where it’ll have gone off before going slimy. Odor is the best indicator.
According to Harold & Kumar in Guantanamo, cock meat sammiches smell bad, but they still had to eat them…
Smelled good. Tasted fine.
First it was a Costco chicken.
Then It was a ham.
Wait, ham goes bad?
Are you using seed oils during cooking?
Not that that could have contributed to the food poisoning, but it would at least make it a just punishment.
Did you leave the chicken on the counter for half the day? My problem with those is the brining – gives me horrible gas/bloat.
Is this a haiku?
Yeah… I’m very much in the “When in doubt, throw it out” camp. My “Not broke as hell anymore” privilege, I’m sure.
Do you have to let it linger?
Only if he has leftover cranberry sauce to eat it with, I suppose.
If in doubt, throw it out.
We use the expression, “Give it to the fox” since we have a local critter that cleans up the less that edible stuff.

“Robbins police: 3 teens in stolen Kia arrested after 71-year-old man dies in crash ”
No mention of the Kia Tik-Tok challenge? That’s why all these kids are stealing Kias.
Is Yusef all right?
Shit, I didn’t even make the connection. And you’re absolutely right.
Well, neither did the person who writes news articles for a living.
I don’t understand why that “article” kept emphasizing that it was a Kia. Pretty irrelevant to the event itself. Could have been a Mazda or a Ford. Who cares?
“Kias are too easy to steal” is a media meme these days.
I care,
…said a young Luke Skywalker with a crush on his sister.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E5Q7CcINC8M
It’s a thing on Tik-Tik encouraging yoots to steal Kia’s using a USB cable.
Why are you up this early?
I dunno. Bladder I guess. I drank about a gallon of water last night.
Read somewhere that China uses Tik Tok to teach kids math while the US uses it to turn us stupid and/or violent.
I can confirm. Chinese Tik-Tok is heavily controlled to make sure all it does is promoter CCP approved things. In the US it is set up to let the dumbest people encourage others to race them over the cliff.
“TikTok is deliberately poisoning a generation”

Psyops are a thing.
Kia Boys have been around for awhile.
Yes. Kias can be stolen with no fob and a screwdriver. I dont know if they’ve fixed new models but certainly up to about 2021 it’s been a gang theft magnet for awhile.
where the fuck are the parents of these 13 year old children
“It takes a village.” Unfortunately many kids live in dysfunctional villages.
Robbins has been dysfunctional for over 60 years. If one were familiar with Robbins, one would never even consider using the plural “parents” in the same sentence as the name of the town.
Can confirm. I grew up in a nearby suburb (non-ghetto).
Lots of idiots in the village.
LOTS.
The commercials, while uninspired, weren’t an endless stream of social signaling.
I saw a crapload of EV propaganda. More than once the wife and I were trading “what the fuck is that” looks.
I will say some were amusing, if not LOL funny.
The premature electrification wasn’t bad, but was I amused by the innuendos or the underlying irony of marketing your EV by suggesting it’s not really ready?
Yes.
EVs may work for people living in urban areas (where it doesn’t get real cold). otherwise they are not even close to being ready for any other serious use. But the people that are running the green racket and stealing tax payer money at record levels (while telling you that the subsidy to fossil fuels, which is a fraction of what they get, is evil) have scored a huge win brainwashing a couple of generations of less intellectually informed people.
Emasculating your truck-buying audience is a sure-fire winner.
Anyone e who would buy that truck is already emasculated. If they’re buying that truck it’s because their green wine wife pushed it on him.
This leaps to mind with all the EV push these days.
They were pushing specific makes and models though. It was legitimate marketing and not hectoring. I’m giving it a pass.
I guess you missed the Will Farrel NetFlix commercial.
The Ram REV commercial was legit emasculating not only their audience, but their own product.
Any woman who wants a truck to tow her new #vanlife obsession is not going to look favorably upon a man who gets her an EV that won’t take mountain passes. So not only is the truck inadequate, her man’s inadequate for not understanding the assignment.
And they made it look like a Viagra commercial.
As much as I roll my eyes at the boy’s club, I also don’t like the emasculation of men. No woman wants an emasculated soy boy even when they say they do.
Not only that! But that GMC Christmas commercial where the dude shows his wife the two new vehicles parked in the driveway, and she goes to the truck instead of the crossover and says, “I love it!” and he’s all …but that’s mine and she’s all, “I LOVE IT!” and he says, “I like red [referring to the crossover].”
Dude, no. You don’t bring home a massive truck and a crossover and just assume your wife’s not going to want the truck. And besides, don’t you know her better than that by now?
All that said…
Not Adahn read Cods and Cuntes (thank you!) and said the hero was carrying the idiot ball too much. On reflection, I can see that it is true, and it really distresses me because I truly didn’t mean to do that. I was trying to balance his interpretation of the heroine’s mixed signals and his disinterest in her sexually. I don’t ever want the heroes I write to come across as emasculated because that is so not my intent.
Aside from a questionable defensive holding call
James Bradberry: I tugged his jersey, but I was hoping they would let it slide
These euphemisms these days…
I respect that. But it’s certainly not a lot of contact and probably goes uncalled more often than it gets called.
I wouldn’t have called it either, but hard to argue if he admits guilt.
Now the question is – how many times in the game did he (and others) do that without a call?
The poker room I used to go to at the Indian casino in Spokane was “non-smoking” in the sense there was a 2 foot high wall separating it from the table games floor, where smoking was allowed…
So that’s where those covid plexiglass dividers were born.
Years ago I went to a restaurant. Their idea of smoking/non-smoking was whether there was an ashtray on the table. I sat down, ordered, and left when the next table lit up. I never went back.

all the furor over the spike in post-floyd shoplifting hasn’t been resolved. there’s no good replacement for a high trust society.

Well, you can’t turn off a society, then turn it back on, and expect it to work the same.
Clearly the startup scripts need to be tweaked.

Now there’s a Poetterverse to fear.
Poettering doesn’t know Unix and doesn’t like criticism.
“Dear lord, do you assholes hear yourselves? The word “chow” has been synonymous with “food” for generations. The only bigots here are you, complainers. They’re you.”

That means that you need to be change the meaning of history, directly (1609 project shit) or indirectly (by changing the meaning of words), so you can control the idiots….
Whut? Shouldn’t be playing words on?
These people need actual problems to deal with so that they don’t go inventing them.

Best part: Benny Chows was unveiled in the same press release as Canopy Social, an upcoming “British Caribbean style rooftop bar,” invoking both a region and the people who colonized it.

I ordered food from King Kee in SF, and the food was very good for such a dive.
“in the wake of rising anti-Asian sentiment and violence across the country. Almost two years later, she was surprised to hear that local restaurateur Benjamin Berg, who is white”

Best Stones song: Moonlight Mile. Thoughts?
Whatever y’all want? I know a few of them… but never really been into the band. Still more of an ’80’s synth pop guy at heart.
I don’t own any of their albums, but they had some good tunes. Stones > Beatles.
Yes, Stones were better, by a “mile”.
But fuck both of them, the mythmaking needs to stop for that whole generation of music.
It’s not the lyrics, but the amazing musicianship of the whole band. Monkey Man,

I’m thinking this thread will tell you a lot more about the person saying what the best song is then it will about what is actually the best Stones song.
Paint it black.
That isn’t even a good song, let alone a contender for best.

Agree with Juris.

Morning all… sorry I didn’t think to check the site after skimming the morning links and missed the anniversary post. So a happy late anniversary to the rest of you reprobates.
On the note of the morning links — HE, sorry on one level about what’s happening — but if you’re doing what you want and it works out for you as we all hope, I suppose it is really a golden opportunity in the end. Just not in my nature to wish for such occurrences… I’m a bit of a fuddy-duddy that way, I’m afraid. Plus, Washington State? Hope you can avoid the plethora of loonies up that way! 😉 (He says from ever increasing azure zones of CA, of course…)
Want to bring up another topic a little bit… but I’ll wait 20 minutes to give Sloopy’s links due justice. Re: Superbowl… didn’t even vaguely care or watch this year, not even Puppybowl. (Oh, cute puppy though OMWC!). Balloon idiocy is just getting stupid (Pentagon “They’re maybe not balloons… and we’re not saying it was aliens… but…” — I mean really? They’re going to real life that meme now?)
Don’t forget Valentine’s Day tomorrow for those who have SO’s to tend to… I know time flashes by and things sneak up on folks. And now I’m rambling… so I’m done for now.
Gonna give her a pair of shoes and a dildo…
If she don’t like the shoes she can use the dildo to…
I’m good, SDF-7.
Just needed to do a hard reset.
Thumbs up.
Our Arizona Glibs can fire up the tortilla maker and celebrate AZ Statehood Day tomorrow. We’re #48!
““We have the right to know that it was another student who was involved,” said Gabrielle L. Crofford, who serves as campus advocacy chair for Lambda, an LGBTQ+ affinity group at the Law School.
“Our perspective is that the more vague that they are, the more students are going to be stressed,” she added. “And not just queer students, because everyone’s wondering, ‘Are we safe on campus right now?’”
Crofford said the assault is part of a larger pattern of homophobia on the Law School’s campus, citing violent threats emailed to LGBTQ+ Harvard affiliates in August 2022.
Three days after the assault, anti-abortion advocacy group Harvard Law Students for Life hosted Notre Dame law professor Sherif Girgis — a prominent opponent of same-sex marriage. Crofford said the event made her feel less safe in the context of the assault.
Crofford said the climate on campus contributed to the assault.
“Someone just got attacked — so we don’t need to ask questions of, ‘What does letting homophobic thought on campus lead to?’ This is what it leads to,” she said. “It leads to people getting punched and called slurs on our campus.””
So fucking tiring.
And censorship and attempts to control thought end up in camps and bodies in ditches. Suck it up there, buttercup.
They don’t want a dialogue. They want division. It’s their meal ticket.
The sooner the Ivy League stranglehold on the judiciary and the administrative state is ended, the sooner our country will heal.
We haven’t finished the “dialogue” on race. You will have to wait.
We really need to have the thoughtpolice step up their thoughtcrime enforcement.
The spellchecker agrees that “thoughtcrime” is a word.
Academia, when the marxists wanted to have a voice, was all about freedom of speech and ideas. Now that they have a stranglehold on academia, the marxist want to silence all opposition. Violently and with sever consequences for anyone that dares to challenge them, at all times.
I feel so unsafe! Someone has different thoughts and opinions than I do.
Are we safe
Stupid children have never seen Marathon Man.
Ok… 30 minute rule so hopefully an OT link won’t be insulting to our hosts.
Found this interesting this morning. Not so much because I care about Watson’s career (she seems nice enough and I don’t wish her ill… and if her allegations are true, all the best to her and all) — but more because of two thoughts:
1) That for all our supposed mindfulness about the fallen nature of man and power corrupting (and money gravitating to power and vice versa)… it sure seems like it is almost impossible to get anyone in front waving the flag who actually has precepts / ideals / morals that they supposedly have / require. I don’t have a solution for this (and I’m sure JI will chime in to call me ridiculously naive for ever thinking otherwise)… but it is more than a little depressing that even when we’re “on our guard” it seems like the charlatans, grifters and bandwagonneers have zero problem inculcating themselves and derailing whatever positive efforts people are trying to work towards in favor of more money for them. (And the Great Tea Party skinsuiting by the GOPe of course also comes to mind).
Maybe she’s lying, maybe she’s not — but the Junior High School nature of the whole “Conservative media / VLoggers / whatnot” seems to underlie this and other “scandals” and it just reinforces that most of these people seem to remain lying narcissists and we can’t get anyone who actually believes in anything (other than themselves, of course) these days.
2) The “clubhouse” comments and whatnot… given how mythical our libertarian women are — and given the rough and tumble around here, hope we haven’t pushed things too far in the past. Don’t like driving away commenters… and I know, I know… “Hey buddies… ” Just thinking about it and all. I trust Mojeaux, HE, Banjos and any of our other regulars to speak up when things are getting too gym locker room and all (they can handle themselves just fine, after all) — but it worries me sometimes.
One of these stupid days I suppose I should bring OT thoughts to the table with a plan to address them. Then again, this would require more competence in social engineering than I’ve ever had, so sorry for now and in advance…
Pace Tulip, there is a big difference between crudity, vulgarity, general locker-room talk and misogyny. Turning a dispute over good taste and appropriate manners into a moral issue gets my back up.
Yeah, that is one of the great tragedies of the 80’s “PC” revolution. Of all of the sexual harassment overreach that arose from that era, the idea that women are unable to be in the presence of locker-room talk is the most toxic.
some of the best dirty jokes i have ever heard were told by women.
“some of the best dirty jokes i have ever heard were told by women.”
Hold my beer…
And on that note, my very liberal wife is generally the first one to bring out TWAT in conversation.
My wife, although decidedly not liberal, brings out “cunt” all the time. There was a woman she worked with who she call “Cuntie.”
Believing that women are somehow oppressed by vulgarity is far more misogynist than saying the word cunt.
I agree.
I can’t comment until I know what the fuck is going on. I saw some people saying they support Sydney Watson online and I saw some people saying she’s a grifter. But I have no idea what precipitated the comments. Is there another fight happening amongst these people I was unaware of? If so, can somebody please explain it to me?
I have thoughts on how to solve this overriding problem, but I can’t speak to this situation until o have a clue what’s going on.
Oh, and Eliza Bleu is a grifter. That I can say without reservation.
She filed a lawsuit (it is linked in the bottom of the article I linked) against her former co-host on some show on The Blaze. Said turkey later got fired for drunkenly groping a coworker’s breasts at an event, so there’s a point of evidence in favor of “He was always drunk before the show, urged the guests to drink and fostered talking about dicks a lot”. Then apparently tried to shutdown her career by claiming she was uptight after the fact or something.
But yeah, I don’t honestly know one way or another and am not going to get emotionally involved rooting for one team or another. Just reflecting.
The best solution is to have independently wealthy people lead the movements. And I mean people who started with little and made their own fortune and then chose to get involved.
There’s a real issue with these younger people who become popular because they’re pretty and say the right things. Or that are passing themselves off as hyper-males and say the right things. The issue is that they’ve never really accomplished anything and they’re getting rich by being provocative. That creates the endorphine rush that eventually causes conflicts and jealousy when one becomes bigger than others and they feel slighted. So they seize on a dirty joke or a drunken pass and end up ruining that other person because they want the spotlight.
Now, if she was wronged by being fired after reporting harassment, I hope she gets compensated since that would most likely be a violation of her work agreement. But if she never brought these issues up until now, I really don’t know what to tell her because it sounds like sour grapes.
Lawsuit claims she brought these up with Blaze management repeatedly. So hopefully a paper trail if so with whatever passes for HR there if so.
And yeah — you raise a good point and it reflects my thinking that this all feels so Junior High clique. I suppose the problem is — who, after running a truly successful business/career would sidestep into not just politics… but political media of all things? Maybe Elon in some ways with the Twitter purchase — but if that isn’t about ego on some level I’ll be stunned. And I suppose that might be a counter point to you in a way… the type of folks who would consider doing it regardless of building something themselves, tend to be egotists who easily fall into the same mindset…
“The issue is that they’ve never really accomplished anything and they’re getting rich by being provocative.”
Becoming successful in the media business is an accomplishment.
At the moment, I am inclined to side with Sydney. Elijah Schaffer seems like a real asshole (and also more likely to be a grifter). The few times I listened to the show because they had a guest on that I was interested, in Sydney seemed cool and genuine but not him. Plus the entire Jack Murphy thing.
Is there anything more totally fucking gay than alpha twitter?
Lol, hard to argue when Jack Murphy was already brought up.
There has been a lot of drama among right-of-center youtubers this past week, Eliza Bleu getting Britney Venti and others suspended from Twiitter, Sydney suing the Blaze, Crowder and the Daily Wire, Tim Poole and The Quartering, etc.
Sydney Watson seems sincere in believing what she says. So I wouldn’t call her a grifter.
We need more Ron Pauls and successful entrepreneurs leading this movement and fewer twentysomethings with a pretty smile (male or female) and caustic sense of humor who have the free time and a microphone. These people lack life and professional experience and haven’t really earned the right to be the mouthpiece of the Liberty movement.
I’m not saying young people are dumb. But none of these people ever earned substantial money at anything beyond their media thingies.* It’s almost as if they’re the libertarian/conservative version of Greta and every other retard activist the watermelons trot out.
*the exception being Eliza Bleu. I’m sure she earned a fair bit of money before through various methods.
“These people lack life and professional experience and haven’t really earned the right to be the mouthpiece of the Liberty movement.”
That’s too gate-keepy for me. Extremely few people who are successful at something else, are going to quit to try to make it big on YouTube. Also, young people are more able to reach a younger audience. Which is important.
I just scrolled up on my phone messages to when I was frantically escaping Nevada on Friday evening.
Here’s what I typed to my bestie (who is an XY):
I didn’t put any thought into the comment, just made it while traversing the Las Vegas airport. Then I sent a couple of screenshots of messages my soon-to-be-ex was sending, asking if I should answer or ignore?
Bestie replied:
I really needed to be told what to do at that point, and he did it. It will take a while for me to locate and evict the abused wife part of my brain, and I need good strong men to help.
Don’t ever let cultural fads stop you from being a good man. We need you guys.
Hopefully you can get out of that predicament with the least amount of shit Hayeksplosives. And get out. The most difficult decisions sometimes is for people that don’t like to give up to understand that they can’t fix something they have been patching forever…
I’ve been trying to piece together what happened to you, since I get the impression I missed something significant.
But it’s just nosy curiousity, so feel free to tell me to mind my own business.
Eh, no biggie.
Left my husband with no prep time, just filled 3 suitcases while he was out Friday morning. Started divorce proceedings, moved to WA, accepted a new job. Ya know, the usual.
Have to resign via email today. I hate that; very sucky thing to do but I had no choice. Going to have to FedEx all my stuff back to soon-to-be-former employer.
So what’s the new job?
Lead R&D pulsed power engineer at a crazy startup where 4 of my former coworkers have gone.
I visited last month as a lark but they lured me in and snagged me.
Well, at least you know the people you’ll be working with. That’s always a plus.
Sounds cool. Well, probably about a million centigrade in practice, but you know what I mean…. 😉
FYI: I pinged you my phone number.
Not Adahn: I can’t see where you pinged me.
My email is hayeksplosives proton– you know, the thing.
Normally a sucky thing to do — but rare personal stuff like this? Your employer would be an ass if they didn’t understand. This is right up there with “have to move back to take care of elderly parents / work remote / change jobs” type of “Rare personal reasons that just happen sometimes”. Again — hate when it comes to this for anyone, but glad for you that you’re doing what you need to.
UCS: She’s hinted about tritium, so I’m assuming something at Hanford. But that’s just a guess.
Fuck, it is right up there with “kid got into massive car wreck” territory.
Sometimes shit just happens, and it needs to be delt with. Dick move would be to go on leave and let them hang.
I saw you had mentioned in the overnight thread that you had some belongings at your old office that you might want to retrieve, or something alone those lines. If I can be of any assistance, feel free to contact me at that email address I gave you yesterday. It’s looking like I’m probably going to be here at least another couple months.
Wasn’t her worksite some sort of high security facility?
Heck, I’m not even doing anything important, but to reach my cube you’d have to get past two card readers and a door code.
Yeah, at mine you have to get past heavily armed guards. Not a “Hey, I’m here to pick up some stuff” kind of deal.
However, I might be able to wrangle a situation in which a coworker picks up some personal effects and then could take them to Pahrump and transfer them into your care…I’ll think about it.
hayeksplosives protonmail and all that.
Aye, that was more what I was thinking, I could hang onto some stuff for you or get it forwarded your way, facilitate it getting back to you anyway. I’ll send you an email.
I watched my daughter go through 30 years of this nonsense, before she finally got the courage to make a decision. I spotted this guy within 2 years of their marriage (which I had a pretty substantial investment in). In retrospect she knows now she should have left years and years earlier.
Hard to restart after 30 years. My son’s marriage made it to the first anniversary. I can’t blame his wife and neither has my son. He worked for me off and on, it wasn’t always smooth sailing .
Good luck, HE, you’ll be alright.
Thanks, Fourscore. You’ve obviously done something right to get to Fourscore and 6.
Have to resign via email today. I hate that; very sucky thing to do but I had no choice. Going to have to FedEx all my stuff back to soon-to-be-former employer.
That is sucky. But, you are out and have a place to land. You’ll pull through.
JI will chime in
Uh, no?
Look, I hate our species precisely because we so often exhibit all the maturity and morality prevalent in junior high school cafeterias (or whatever equivalent exists around the world). I’m slowly losing grip on my belief that we are even capable of self government and anymore there is no frontier to escape from that.
As some Glib pointed out one time, cream rises to the top but then again so does scum.
You gotta skim the fat of the top, as it floats on everything else.
I’m of two minds on the matter. On the one hand, this here Glibs place is a boy’s club. I know that. Pretty sure HE, Banjos, GT, et al, know that too. So whatever is said here, I/we have to take with a grain of salt. OTOH, the sexist jokes sometimes go into the weeds so far I wonder if you all actually believe women should be in the kitchen making sandwiches. But then I think, “See #1.” I’m not married to you so I don’t have to deal with it. If I want to participate, I have to overlook some things, same as I do anywhere else on the web that I go.
We all have two personas.
Only two? I have a different persona for each social situation I may find myself in.
And every one of them sits in the corner attempting to avoid social intercourse?
No, that’s just my “Visitng a Restaurant” persona.
Inside of you are two jerks?
OTOH, the sexist jokes sometimes go into the weeds so far I wonder if you all actually believe women should be in the kitchen making sandwiches.
This really tempted me to make a joke about woman making sandwiches… but a) this is a serious discussion and b) my jokes suck. So I won’t make the joke.
“OTOH, the sexist jokes sometimes go into the weeds so far I wonder if you all actually believe women should be in the kitchen making sandwiches.”
That’s not fair. You’ve earned the right to take some time off from the kitchen to comment here.
(Daring to go where DEG fears to tread.)
Yeah, you wait till Wednesday, buddy.

That Benny Chows article was a great find.
I get a Chinese guy who owns a Chinese restaurant complaining about a white guy opening a competing restaurant. Use what you got.
But I don’t understand these reporters who keep pretending like this is news. Since when is some guy whining that his competition touts their food as being upscale something you would report? Worse, why dress it up as if these guys are some sort of authority on the civil rights of names and cuisine.
We are living in the dumbest alternate reality.

The bill would close a loophole in the state’s 2006 indoor smoking law written specifically to exempt casinos from bans on smoking indoors. Currently, smoking is permitted on 25% of a casino floor in Atlantic City.
I love the use of the term “loophole” for something that was written into legislation.
This has always bothered me too, particularly when talking about “tax loopholes.”
What one calls a loophole, is just lefty talk for “following the law as written.”

He also talks about mandatory euthanasia in the future to make way for younger people. He’s not so much based as he’s a Malthusian psycho.
He does realize the Sandmen in Logan’s Run weren’t the heroes, right?
Japan is a lie!!!
See, I was curious why specifically disembowlment, but it was just a shitty translation of “seppuku.”
GFY Daily Mail.
We can solve the problems by disemboweling the people trying to control the population and stringing them up from lampposts by their entrails.
So you want to kill half of humanity?
You picked the right half. Sounds good to me.

Sam Smith’s metamorphosis
No one cared about a singer named Sam Smith, no one cared about being gay, and no one cared about being non-binary.

Which is something Sambo didn’t do.
No one cares about that anymore either.
I don’t want to kink shame anyone.
What I do want is to be able to make fun of stupid people like we used to.

I worked with a chief over a few beers one night brainstorming a name for his new beer focused restaurant. One I came up with was Brew Man Chews. Is it offensive because of the reference to Fu Man Chew or is it just a fusion of food and beer concepts in a fun way? He made a great deal of asian food and did tons of beer parings.
Was he white-adjacent? Cause if he was white-white, then this would be appropriation…
He was White White with a Fu Man Chew mustache.
I’t okay to use the real name, Fu Manchu is in the public domain.
Natural disasters, boosted by climate change, displaced millions of people in U.S. in 2022
Fuck off.
Government oppression is natural and government is using climate change as an excuse to boost the disaster.
Have they figured out how to blame earthquakes on climate change yet?
and volcanos
Climate Change is the term for all excuses to be used by marxists masters to scare the serfs into allowing the masters to bend the serfs over.
Obviously, all those UFOs are here because aliens are extremely worried about Earth’s climate changes.

New Super Bowl thought: for all of the talk about PEDs, Mahomes was really limping after he was tackled near the end of the second quarter…
Magically, he is fine for the second half. Funny how whatever they shot him up with at halftime is not considered a PED.
Nah, that stuff is OK–it’s a Par Equalizing Drug
It looked like he was still in pain on the runs, and not at 100%, but yeah…
I mean sure it happens every game, but he got the real good stuff.
It was probably just cortisone right to the joint. That will do the trick for a few hours.
or toradol
Although I get that he was in pain, I do not understand why they were making it some huge deal.
I can guarantee that, after a full season, every player on the field was playing with one injury or another. All of them were playing through pain.
Squirt a little magic juice in there and wrap it up tight, good to go.
Also, there was only 30 minutes left to the season.
So, MVPED?
Namely a photo of the accused, the alleged victim, and any details about the incident.
All you need to know is that it was a hate-crime. Probably white-supremacy.
So the Superbowl ads suck now? That used to be the best part, what with the over the hill beer guzzling slobs chasing around scantily clad broads they wouldn’t stand a chance with on their best day. It’s all woke now I reckon?
Yes. Those are now deemed inappropriate. Please watch these Magic Mike movie adds instead.
According to the data, adults who identify as LGBTQ were disproportionately affected — 4% of LGBTQIA+ adults had to leave their homes compared with 1.2% of straight, cisgender people.
“It’s important to note that a lot of these individuals that are LGBTQ are often also considered to be socially vulnerable, and really putting a strong intersectional lens to disaster response preparedness and recovery,” said Michael Méndez, a professor of environmental policy and planning at the University of California, Irvine.
“Much of the LGBT community that’s vulnerable, and most socially vulnerable to disasters, are those that are African American, transgender and low income,” he said. “Oftentimes, that’s why they’re rendered invisible in the context of disaster policy and planning and preparedness. People write them off as not needing to provide extra resources for this community.”
Just as long as we keep track of what’s truly important.
“[Benny] is a nickname for him, it’s a nod to him, and Chows is obviously not his last name,” Protomartir says. Josh Deleon, owner of Underground Creamery, adds that Berg is “playing with words with something he shouldn’t be playing words on.” Deleon and Protomartir both say they had experiences growing up, like many other people of Asian descent, such as being made fun of for their food.
Fuck you. Besides if the guy kowtows to your delicate sensibilities you’ll just be offended again an hour later.
Well done.
Why not China Haus?
I was about to ask why a rapper would need a stunt double.
Drug deals?
I didn’t watch the halftime show and the sound was off for the duration of the game.
Rihanna gave, without question, the single worst Halftime Show in Super Bowl history — This after insulting far more than half of our Nation, which is already in serious DECLINE, with her foul and insulting language. Also, so much for her “Stylist!”
Ehh if you wanted me to watch a Rihanna halftime show, you’d need a wardrobe malfunction, an appearance by Chris Brown, or both
Trump seems determined to keep reminding us of the crap we tolerated when he was producing results while doing crap like attacking De Santis for no good reason and in a crappy way and harping constantly on real or imagined slights (De Santis not being sufficiently “grateful”, 2016 much less 2020) and ignoring the chance to show any of the electorate that he’s grown past his flaws (terrible people selection, deferring to the same flunkies stabbing him in the back, unable to get stuff done when his ego is in the way).
If he’s trying to make sure a sizable chunk of those who voted for him in the past decide that he’s too fixated on his struggle (and yes, that’s intentional because it is starting to feel like he’s writing such a tome-in-exile about now) and not enough on actually working for the country again, I can’t think of a better way to do it. Bleck.
This is about where I’m at with Trump these days. It’s no longer about MAGA, or anything close, but about getting revenge for having been cheated. His rants are about him, which is a far bigger turn-off than anything he did in office.
Yup, now he sounds just like the bitch he defeated in 2016
So, bitching, not bitchin’!
He was a breath of fresh air in 2015 but he fucking sucks now. Bad personnel decisions, petty as hell, and a Covid vaccine shill should not a nominee make.
Reminds me a lot of Gov Jesse Ventura. At first it was all “Hell ya, shake it up!” but then he proved to be very thin-skinned. Not a good thing for a politician. I think Trump’s the same. Thin-skinned and unable to cope with any criticism.
You did a good thing, you shook it up and made lasting change. But it’s time to ride off into the sunset.
So long, and thanks for all the fish.
Trump must be embracing “It’s a Philly Thing!” Namely, the ability to “Snatch Defeat from the Jaws of Victory.”
He already did that in 2020. Now he’s just snatching defeat from the jaws of defeat so he should know better, maybe be a kingmaker and agree to a quid pro quo endorsement for calling off the DOJ but it appears he’s just too damn stupid.
This. It’s going to sink his campaign.
I hope so, there is a core that’d follow him to Hell though matter what he says or does.
True. I suppose we just need to hope there aren’t enough of them to push him through the primaries.
Trump, like many, many people, has no idea why he won in ’16.
Pro tip; it wasn’t about you, Don.
Count me in on this, too. He had some flaws, such as shooting his mouth off and hiring the wrong people. But he did do some really good things. Now the flaws are overshadowing his strengths.
writing such a tome-in-exile
140 characters at a time. Otherwise, that’s the funniest part of that because he can’t string together a coherent sentence any better than Biden.
It definitely wasn’t that bad.
Good morning, Sloop!
Some brutal lynx in there, but the Stones help.
I wasn’t aware that NYC was going to allow casinos. Is that real?
Yes. The legislature is still working out how to maximize the graft, but they are coming. I believe one in town and one or two upstate, something like that.
I can’t believe Foxwoods and AC aren’t flipping out.
Good morning Glibs! I have been off line for a few days, as I was busy in Tundra country losing hockey games. But the aforementioned Tundra watched a game and we got to chat for a while. If you don’t know him, he’s one of those people who can talk to anyone. I glanced over and saw him talking to my wife, her friend, and the hall of fame Paralympic goalie. He didn’t know any of them. It was great to see him, although the weekend was hectic so we didn’t get to spend much time together.
Apparently I missed something about balloons and a train wreck that wasn’t part of the Biden administration.
And Happy Glibaversary to you all. This site and all of you fellow miscreants and ne’er do wells are often what get me through the day. I should remember that date, because today Mrs. TOK and I have our anniversary (24 years).
Congrats to you and Mrs. TOK!
I wish I had that ability, but only when I needed it. I was on an elevator from the parking garage to a concert venue years ago and ran into a guy like that. He was wearing a band shirt, so I figured he must be going to the same place and asked him if he knew directions. He ends up introducing me to about 10 other people throughout the night, only about half of whom he knew when he started. I don’t think I’ve met 10 new people since. Good on those who can do it. Couldn’t be me.
Happy anniversary! Big one coming up next year.
The gift of gab is something I also do not have. When my sister and I got into the Winne Roast back in ’98 or so under false media credentials, we were both so dumbfounded we even did it that we just scurried into the concert and didn’t take advantage of the media handlers that were asking who we wanted/needed to interview.
I had an art buddy once who was also like this. We went to an art fair together, and she started talking to some woman. They were cracking each other up. I figured it was someone she knew really well. So I asked who it was. “I don’t know, I just met her.”
Congrats!
Congrats!
It was really fun to see you and the missus. And also fun to watch you bury that goal!
I like meeting people and the hockey community is one of my favorites. Thanks again for the invite and stay an extra day or two next time!
That goalie (Steve Cash) said he enjoyed talking hockey with you. Now you’re getting to know people in the sled hockey community!
The Mrs. and I just talked about staying a few extra days next time. It’s a beautiful place and unfortunately we had to rush through the weekend. I would expect to make that same trip next year.
I had one more goal, it wasn’t as spectacular but a goal’s a goal. There was a big scramble in front of the net, about four shots, the goalie and about three other players fell over, and the puck was just sitting there three feet from the goal. I made sure nobody else could reach it, then I snuck in and just flipped it over everyone. We only scored four times this weekend and I had two of them. So I’ll take take that positive.
Awesome! Have a great day with the Mz.
Tundra is a good guy.
Congrats to you and Mrs. on your anniversary!
TOK: congrats on the anniversary
And, second your comments on Tundra. He’s a good man.
Christ, guys, you’re making me blush.

She-Hulk pitch meeting.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjDBd16pBLg
“So I hear what you’re saying and it’s actually not ok to point that out.”
I have wasted a couple days on his pitch meetings….
This is the first one I’ve seen, but I see myself wasting a lot of time on the rest.
Save me the trouble of actually putting the movie/show on.
He has a compilation of Star Wars, in chronological order that just shows you how you screw up a billion dollar idea.
Me too. I am so addicted. The Back to the Future one is particularly good.
His take on Rick and Morty and the instant attack from the insane followers of that show was great.
“It’s actually going to be super easy; barely an inconvenience.”
I’m going to have to start deploying that to signal to other Pitch Meeting addicts.
Yep, that’s about like the Critical Drinker “technical difficulties” or “nahhhhhh”.
Don’t know! 🤷♂️
Dropping references to things is tight!
I have never thought of Back to the Future as creepy until viewing the pitch meeting! Lol. Good ol’ 1985. I was a mere lass of 11 years old.
I never read King’s IT but because of Pitch Meetings I now known he wrote in a child gangbang…
“China has accused the United States of “illegally” flying high-altitude balloons into its airspace more than 10 times since January 2022, claims that drew an immediate rebuttal from the White House, as bilateral tensions flare in the fallout from a Chinese balloon that was shot down by American fighter jets after traveling across the continental US.”
Does that mean the Chinese can’t shit these down, or that they are afraid to?
Also, given their claims to areas we don’t recognize, how many of these incursions are in areas they don’t even control?
Wait Chinese aircraft are armed with shit flinging cannons/missiles?
They buy city missiles down the street from city wok!
And use city airlines to launch them
So, they are only good for an hour, and then you need another one?
Yes, and now we are going to get nonstop bitching from the MIC about the trillion dollar program they need to close the Shit Flinger Gap.
I have the best typos. Cheers.
I heard their AM-MiraLAX missiles are ineffective against them.
I’d tell them that we specifically asked the Chinese government (the one in Taipei) if it was OK to do that, and they said it was cool with them.
Mwa-ha-ha-ha…. that would be epic. No way PPP’s admin will do it… but it would be epic.
Aliens
The report by the US intelligence community found that a large number of those sightings, 163, were balloons or “balloon-like entities,” while 26 were unmanned aircraft systems, i.e., drones. An unspecified number of sightings were “attributable to sensor irregularities or variances, such as operator or equipment error.”
There were 171 unidentified object sightings, however, for which no explanation was found, and some of those objects “demonstrated unusual flight characteristics or performance capabilities.”
The report also noted that UFO sightings “continue to occur in restricted or sensitive airspace, highlighting possible concerns for safety of flight.” It added that the sightings could point to “adversary collection activity,” suggesting that UFOs found around sensitive US military installations could be a foreign power spying on them.
There is undoubtedly much more to learn about those 171 UFO sightings, which still have no good explanations. Are they the work of a foreign power probing US air defenses? Are they relatively innocuous, such as errant balloons?
Congress should convene hearings to get to the bottom of this. The public has a right to understand why objects are flying around in American airspace that the Pentagon and the US intelligence community can’t identify.
Congress will know what to do.
Of course — once they get orders from their motherships…. Ack! Ack ack!

Fascism alert
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., said Sunday she did not believe Jesus would support Super Bowl commercials that she claims make fascism “look benign.”
The Christian group He Gets Us reportedly spent $20 million on two Super Bowl advertisements that showed Jesus as someone with empathy for immigrants and the poor, who was also tired of the division of politics.
“Something tells me Jesus would *not* spend millions of dollars on Super Bowl ads to make fascism look benign,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote in a tweet.
We need confiscatory taxation so wealthy private citizens don’t have money for expensive publicity stunts promoting things Democratic Socialists don’t like. And the government should have final say on all ad content.
“Love your enemies” as fascism is kind of a fresh one, I have to admit.
Jesus told the crowd “Do not tolerate the intolerant.”
I just want to know where the ads make “fascism” look benign….

Looks fake?
Nah, that’s just another regular night for some people..
Real from the perspective of the TV.
They will get a new one during the riot.
Love the token white chick there.
I think she’s just high yellow.
I see the problem. Instead of firing this asshat with extreme prejudice and then taking her ass to court and incarcerating her for abusing the power she was given, they are just asking her to pay a fine.
We are so fucked.
Biberaj is a special kind of asshole.

Winner! 😋
***SIGH!!!*** I didn’t have breakfast, I’m out of Atkins shakes, and I’m SO HUNGRY now! My own fault – should have taken time to scramble a couple of eggs (with lots of shredded cheese!) before I left for work… but that cuts into my early morning Glib time!
I’m so sorry. I just tested to see if I could get food delivered at the office without too much hassle (the previous office was impossible to find). So I’m rathr full (just finished the Rueben)

Scott Horton off the tope rope!
I still do not know where this country of “Black” is or why its national anthem is performed at our sportsball events.
It is no coincidence that I will be singing the Black National Anthem, Lift Every Voice and Sing at the Super Bowl on the same date it was first publicly performed 123 years ago (February 12, 1900). Happy Black History Month! @nfl@rocnation@SavageXFenty
Tune in at 3pm/6pmEST.
I happened to catch her singing that. No idea who she is, but my reaction was, “Jeeminy criminy! Her voice is deeper than mine!” 😳/Chick tenor
So this video series on Differential Equations has the upside of the lecturer being relatively easy to understand (enuncuation and lack of a thick accent, etc) but the downside that it’s pure math, so no discussion of where this piece ever gets used. I don’t learn math in a vacuum all that well. Calculus+Physics really worked to aid my understanding.
I get that the guy’s an academian, and probably enjoys math for math’s sake, but if I can’t apply the math to something, it’s not going to stick in my head.
Look into introductory reactor physics or the mechanics of deformable bodies (materials / mechanical engineering courses). Both were heavy on diff eqs from my memory. Doesn’t get much more real life than DefBods…
Fuck DefBods.
Or, really, the professor I had for it.
I worry what that would turn up if I typed it into a search engine… o.O
I went to a friend’s wedding at the Biltmore in Santa Barbara mentioned in Sloopy’s article above.
I flew into LAX and rented the cheapest car I could for the wedding. It was a Nissan Versa. I pulled into the Valet and was surrounded by Bently’s, Maserati’s, etc. I pulled up and cranked down the window. I said, “there better not be a scratch on my sweet baby when I get her back or it’s your ass!” We all laughed. When they handed the key back to me, they said something to the effect of “I didn’t know they still made cars with manual locks”

I like both a lakeside property and a large wooded lot but 39 mil is a bit rich. Also the name sounds disgustingly french
Wut?
Something tells me Jesus would *not* spend millions of dollars on Super Bowl ads to make fascism look benign
Words no longer have meaning.
Tell me her seals didn’t bark approvingly.

College Board then announced that it will update the course and published revisions to the AP class on Feb. 1, inviting sharp criticism over the removal of Black queer studies and Black writers and scholars associated with critical race theory from the framework.
College Board sought to address these criticisms on Sunday, saying in a statement that it regretted not immediately “denouncing” DeSantis’ comments that the course “lacks educational value.”
“Our failure to raise our voice betrayed Black scholars everywhere and those who have long toiled to build this remarkable field,” the statement read.
The organization also said that it should have clarified that current events — including Black Lives Matter movement, reparations and mass incarceration — were optional. The revised version of the course is an improvement, not a “watering down,” College Board said.

Republicans pounced.
Prior to that, there was no politicized narrative, just plain-facts history.
I, uh, I say again!
Tundra: Chance the highly aggressive American bulldog got adopted from The Farm! He’s going to live with his bestie Neveah on a horse farm!
That’s amazing. I thought it was highly unlikely that Chance would make it.
Thanks!
“My copy is a used-from-a -rental-store tape. Unfortunately, I have no VHS player.”
I have three. I’m sure you can buy one.
…now I’m wondering exactly how awful the picture quality will be on my (fairly modern) TV. And of course I’ll need to buy an adapter since I imagine VHS players only have RCA or coax outputs.
Well, the video output will only be about 480 pixels across
RCA, and almost TV’s still have RCA inputs.
(A coax output would not work because, as far as I know, new TV’s don’t have analog receivers, just digital)
What was the winning bid for naming Candy?

Brazil Here we go….New President Lula announces “ALL” citizens must be “Vaxxed” to receive “State Benefits”…Even going as far as taking away payments from families if the children aren’t “Vaxxed”….𝙒𝙚𝙡𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙏𝙮𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙣𝙮
It’s Monday morning and I don’t know what to do with my life except chat with you lot.
We appreciate you tolerating us.
I enjoy you, even if it didn’t sound like it.
Isnt that why we are all here?
So are all of these sudden aerial showdowns a distraction?
What else would they be?
Aliens!
