That’s not really the sort of thing you buy looking to turn some massive profit…so of course some soulless corporation like Disney buys it and guts it. But it is less useful for pushing a narrative so probably a very small supply of billionaire sugar daddy’s to buy it and keep it alive. This aint the Washington Post here where you can use it as a cudgel to go after your political enemies. Maybe you can work in some stories about climate change, but that’s about it.
I’m also kind of disgusted by the corporate need to constantly grow…grow…and grow. Increase in value for those shareholders because they’re all that matters. I know, almost commie talk, but the shit gets old. A number of industries are at the point where their only idea of innovation is cutting payroll however and wherever they can regardless of what it does to the long term viability of their service.

It makes sense that Disney would acquire NatGeo, from one perspective. Disney has been doing nature / adventure films since at least the 1950s. Why not branch into print, and bring some readers into the fold? And they could use some of the exotic, stunning film footage that National Geographic has done on their own over the decades as backdrops to new stories… assuming that Disney had any new stories besides fairy tales that are now in the public domain or rides attractions turned into film.
But nooooo… instead of just printing “here’s a small tribe of people who live on the other side of the world, with face paint and strange jewelry,” we get “here’s a small tribe threatened by white supremacy and climate change” ad infinitum.

What would your reaction be
I’d say a prayer for the poor bastard
One year I was working in Graham TX, a 100 mile commute from Fort Worth and a town of only two proper restaurants. I spent the year taking lunch at Restaurant B because there was an exact copy of my first wife working tables at A. Well, she was blonde instead of a redhead, but it was still freaky. They were doubtless related: FirstWife’s clan had numbered amongst the original gringos in that country and I found their name on a road and such, so a fourth cousin or so is not really a good fit in the pure stranger doppelganger sort of way, but the reaction was intense. Oddly, I wasn’t remotely attracted to her although in theory I really should have been.

Yeah, it’s disgusting. But it’s worth considering the Fed is in total financial war with the ECB and Davos in an attempt to save US retail banking. There will be casualties and costs.

I’d say a prayer for the poor bastard
One year I was working in Graham TX, a 100 mile commute from Fort Worth and a town of only two proper restaurants. I spent the year taking lunch at Restaurant B because there was an exact copy of my first wife working tables at A. Well, she was blonde instead of a redhead, but it was still freaky. They were doubtless related: FirstWife’s clan had numbered amongst the original gringos in that country and I found their name on a road and such, so a fourth cousin or so is not really a good fit in the pure stranger doppelganger sort of way, but the reaction was intense. Oddly, I wasn’t remotely attracted to her although in theory I really should have been.
Weirdly, my name is on a road near my upstate NY hometown – and it’s uncommon enough that I’ve never seen this name used on a road anywhere else in the US – yet my dad is from Idaho and AFAIK had no connection to NY as my mom only met him after moving from NY to Nevada.
for Dad’s clan there’s a town in north TX and a road in Columbus MS
3,700 of us in the US, so everyone is a relative or descended from a slave we held
*tap tap tap*
Supposedly 2,578 of us. Hard to believe unless they’re all in Idaho and that’s why I’ve never come across one (I left Idaho when I was 3 years old).
Oh and it’s an English name so not some crazy Slavic tongue-twister or anything.
There are roads, hotels and even a theater for live music with my name on them in the Bay Area.

Also, there are small towns with the name in England and British Colombia, along with a brewery in Idaho.
The name is, surprisingly, as rare as Don’s, and yes, everyone is family, or a former slave. And that includes an almost queen of England.
My name is the second word of a modestly successful 90s “garage punk” band. From the state of Washington i.e. next door to Idaho hmm….
Mr. Soundgarden is that you?
since Im in the Bay Area, Id go look for it, but as it happens Ill be working this weekend
Any relation to the Warfield who used to sail El Toros in the Bay Area about 40 years ago? I think he made my sail.
Marsha Warfield from “Night Court”?

I discovered a town up here with my great-grandmother’s maiden name (a name I had never even seen IRL).

Bobby Kennedy Jr, livestream synopsis – good on war, good on censorship, good on gutting the fda, essentially bad on pretty much everything else.
Yeah, I’m sorry – he’s running as a Dem. He would get none of that stuff accomplished and a Dem Congress would walk all over him with their crazy radical shit.
I am curios how much play he is going to get. The D powers that be Do Not want him to have any sort of debate with Biden, for obvious reasons. But I don’t think he is going to go away, and could be quite the thorne in their side. Too many are starting to look at Biden and kinda think “oh, shit.” At least, those not in on the con.
Good on censorship? Have you seen what he has said in the recent past?
Sounds like you put reorder (“fast busy”) in there at the end instead of howler.
*flips handset*
Very nice.
Sitting on the Hump Day Zoom feeling like lil Kim. Ronery, so very ronery.
I’m torn between wanting to see Jennifer Lawrence fail, and wanting to see an American comedy with sex back in it succeed.
She did do full frontal nudity so you know she’s desperate for work now. But she hasn’t been humbled.
So are you going to masturbate to it or not?
I saw the fully nude fight scene that leaked online. It was quite boring actually. I have very low expectations for the movie.
Perfect game!
Stupid Lowes. To stop theft they put all the wire in a cage but they don’t have anyone around to open the cage. Looks like a trip to Platt tomorrow.
Go down to the aisle with the bolt cutters.
It’s a twitterer, so take it with a pound and a couple handfuls of salt, but daaaammmmnnnnn…
I mean, I’m aware that the government wastes more money than this every couple of hours, but… can this be actually true? I’m not connected enough with west coast banking or VC to say if this is tinfoil-hattery or not.
Will repost on the AM lynx if I wake up in time, so folks more knowledgeable than me can chime in.
I believe it. SVB was operating as a shadow bank and the Fed wanted it shut down and the structure destroyed. The cost of doing so was bailing everyone out. Picking and choosing depositors would have been impossible.
Yeah, it’s disgusting. But it’s worth considering the Fed is in total financial war with the ECB and Davos in an attempt to save US retail banking. There will be casualties and costs. The alternative is to let people like Soros get control of our financial system and then we’re well and truly fucked.
Morning, Glibs.
Morning.
I don’t want to go to work today.
I’m not your supervisor.
dammit.
*starts commute*
Good morning, U, Sean, Nerfy (NNM), and Stinky!
Little Black Cat is finally cone-free today! 😁🐱👤
*scritch behind the ears*
Scritch conveyed.
I’m not even going to put his collar back on him, at least for a while. (He needs a new one anyway.)
Huzzah! Cones are really annoying.

“Ireland Will Pay Up To $92,000 For People To Live On Its Remote, Idyllic Off-Shore Islands”

Gliberstan: Alright y’all, we need to stake our claims and quick.
Where you will be subject to their hate speech regulations, environmental regulations, and every damn EU whim.
If we make up the local constabulary, that won’t be a problem. Anyone coming to visit from the national government can be dealt with by welcoming them with a wee nip at the pub which just happens to have found a truly excellent bottle of whiskey in the back room.
Our own Wicker Man.
In unrelated news, NYC Mayor Eric Adams has signed a bill allocating $200MM to purchase rafts to be given to migrants who arrive in the city. “Ireland not only welcomes you but will pay you to move there. We are a Sanctuary City; this fulfills our mission to minister to migrants without overwhelming our infrastructure”, Adams said.
Craggy Island?
Mornin’, reprobates!
The left ones think I’m right. The right ones think I’m wrong.

Good morning, ‘patzie! Nice song! Wasn’t familiar with it. (Was expecting this.)
It takes on a different implication when played in Gotham.
Also nice, and good morning to you. Completed phase 1 of major project yesterday. (((They))) are sorting out a few minor issues but it looks like I failed to completely hose the process. I shall celebrate with a visit to the
torture chamberdentist thus afternoon.No sales tax holiday in Virginia this year
It didn’t cover alcohol or guns anyway.
What about hookers and blow?
People already don’t pay sales tax on those.
And that is how Al Capone got nailed.
But those could count as both back-to-school AND hurricane-preparedness products! 🙁
Mornin’ all,
A little froggy today after a a great rain yesterday, maybe broke out of the drought (err, climate change) mode. In any case it was welcome, though the skeeters showed us as well.
Morning Glibronis tunes
Resent to Glib wannabees
