Good morning my Glibs and Gliberinas! It’s that wonderful time again to sit down, sip that coffee, bitch about traffic to your coworker and enjoy another amazing day and the links!

That’s all I got for today. I’ll leave you with a song and move along with my day.
Morning, Banjos.
It’s awfully quiet in here.
Too quiet.
They’re up to something.
Hunting wabbits?
Sorry. I’m covered in cats.
So, not the best place for a Rat to be?
We call it “dog on lap syndrome”.
“Honey can you get me ::whatever::, I’ve got dog on lap”
My family has the cat on the lap rule.
“Encatted”.
“Hey, I see you are encatted, can I get you anything while I am in the kitchen?”
Our cats are much too standoffish for sitting on laps. They are more akin to Stephen Wright’s dog, in that they now ignore us and keep typing.
whaddup doh’
yo whats goody
I’m never entirely sure what you said.
But I suppose it’s a general inquiry as to what’s happening.
Not a whole lot, the office is quiet.
Is anybody really surprised that “disinformation reporter” == purveyor of disinformation?
Isn’t that just newspeak for propagandist?
^^^THIS^^^
I want to see “disinformation” and “misinformation” eliminated from discourse. Orwellian, obfuscatory, and essentially redundant. Technically, “disinformation” is self contradictory — true or false, bullshit, braggadocio, or purest truth, it’s all information. “Dis” claims it’s not, and that’s malignant.
Falsehood, misapprehension, and (especially) bullshit already cover the territory these trendy NewSpeak terms attempt to co-opt.
Co-opted for the purposes of normalizing government censorship. All of the other terms mentioned have taken on too much negative connotation.
You have to put sprinkles on turds before you can convince people to swallow them.
At this point “disinformation” to me translates to “inconvenient truth for those in power”. It seems they only label the stuff that’s accurate most days.
“I will label it disinformation so I don’t have to refute.”
Now there’s a cutting description that’s right on target. Kudos to you, good locomotive rodent.
My understanding of the terms from before they were so ubiquitous was that disinformation is deliberately wrong to confuse an enemy, while misinformation is just simply wrong information (someone who is misinformed for instance).
Of course, both terms have lost all meaning at this point, so we can scrap them along with “racist”, “Nazi”, “war”, and tons of other words that don’t mean anything anymore.
Don’t forget MAL-information. Which is bad, in the original sense of the word, information. Damaging, or evil information.
It’s a racket.
Maybe if we just went back to using the perfectly serviceable word, propaganda?
Can we go back to the older term, “News”?
One might wonder just what the hell he was paying attention to during the trial in the Senate — but I’m sure it involved lobbyists, back slapping and feeling like he was the Big Damned Hero of the DC Junior High squad for standing up to that meanie Trump and those awful texts.
Between McCain and Romney — the Uniparty sure as hell made sure Obama didn’t have an actual threat to his Presidency, didn’t they… Ugh.
Same bunch that keep voting against Jim Jordan because he might try to keep a few promises on the RNC platform.
The guy at Reason who is least likely to blindly believe what the MSM tells him… is a Bouffant’d millennial who overindulges in fruit sushi.

Texas Glibs:
TEXAS DFW MEETUP TODAY
Trashy will be in the DFW area this weekend. We are meeting up at Whiskey Cake in Plano, TODAY after 5:00.
Address: 3601 Dallas Pkwy, Plano Tx, 75093
Menu: https://whiskeycake.com/menu/tx/plano-tx/
I’ll be wearing my “Most Likely to Secede” shirt if I don’t spill anything on it this morning.
It’s today? Somehow I didn’t get the word. I’ll pay attention from now on, I promise…
/Falls back asleep
I like the cut of your jib, sir!
Y’all enjoy yourselves. I’ll be approximately 2000 miles away and not really able to take a road trip anyway. But I’ll grouse with you in spirit or something.
You can check out the menu and drool. I have to do that when all you folks go to Gourmeltz.
That place has some bone marrow whiskery drink. It must be tried.
How do you make whiskery out of bone marrow.
And is whiskery some form of whiskey, or a description of the texture?
oooh – do they use a length of bone as the shot glass?
I will report back. Details to come.
That would be tricky since that’s probably closer to 3000 miles away for me….
Gourmeltz is about 1,143 miles away from me. I feel your pain.
Given a certain Glibertarians known distance to two separate Glibertaian meet up locations, could one localize, e.g. dox, certain Glibertarian? Just off the top of my head, I believe you could localize to one of 2 locations.
Hell, some people here have shared what city they’re in. two locations is more anonymous than that.
Is it an infusion, or are they emulsifying the bone marrow into the drink?
See above. Not sure from the description (see menu). I will be ordering it and reporting back.
It’s under “Social Hour:”
BONE MARROW BOOZE LUGE / $21
roasted bone marrow, smoked date syrup, gremolata, and a shot of Bulleit Rye
I will have an hour to order it. Lady Z and company will not be there until six, but certainly Trashy and I will sample it. Don’t know if Sir Digby is interested. Urthona would definitely try it also, but I have not seen him this week.
“Luge” makes me think you’re expected to pour the shot down the half-bone containing the marrow (or what’s left of the marrow)
Ahhh… it’s a luge. I’d be thinking it’s more going to be poured down a marrow bone for you to drink.
Which drink is it? A quick search isn’t getting any results for bone or marrow.
/patiently awaits the Rowley Inn with their bacon wrapped tater tots to reopen
Click on the Social Hour Tab, and roll to the bottom of the page, it will say “Booze Luge.” Could be a Plano exclusive, so use the menu link:

Where were you people when I spent a week in Sweetwater?
That was a bad, bad week. I apologized at the time. I can barely fit this in.
That’s what Winston’s Mom said.
Did she say that while rolling her eyes? I always thought it was much more of a “dime in the quarter slot” kinda thing.
She overbooked and was having to jam several clients in.
Ironic twist. Mrs. TOK is currently in Dallas for a very long Spartan race. I am not. Unfortunately Mrs. TOK doesn’t even know you exist.
Aww…. Well, she could still come and say hi. I am lucky to get four people when I do this. One magic time I got seven or eight, when Hobbit came to town.
We need a PNW Glibs meetup. I will contemplate this as winter sets in.
I will watch this space.
I haven’t commented here on the Hamas/Israeli war yet. Let me first say that I am opposed to US intervention in this foreign war, as well as the Ukraine war, and all other foreign conflicts. I believe that US companies should be free to sell whatever weapons they can to the belligerents, but that US funds should in no way or case be used to fund or finance their purchase or transfer. No weapons should be given, loaned, or sold by the US government to the belligerents.
To the extent that the US government legitimately and legally has been granted the power under the Constitution to conduct foreign policy, I suppose that *which* belligerents are allowed to be sold weapons by US vendors is subject to that law.
To the extent that the US may be party to treaties requiring it to intervene in foreign conflicts, under the Constitution these have become law and must be honored, but as a matter of policy I believe them to be the height of folly, and that every effort should be made legally to nullify such requirements. It’s not like the US has never abandoned a *friend*, nor reneged on a treaty requirement before. In fact, it seems to be a regular feature in the annals of US foreign policy since 1945 to hang an ally out to dry.
Now that that is out of the way, and that it should be clear that I am not advocating US intervention, I can post this link, which is very disturbing.
https://m.jpost.com/israel-news/article-769339
My initial stance was give the Palestinians a chance to push back in Gaza on Hamas. As the opposite seems to be happening, I hope Israel does the right thing and removes Gaza from further consideration. The destruction should be so utter and complete that the other Middle Eastern countries should fear even to say the word Israel, lest they be next. As we did ourselves in Japan and should have done again after 9/11 rather than engage in corrupt nation building.
Of course there’s no money in stopping forever wars, so the Western world has every incentive to keeping this on a slow boil.
Every possible solution has been tried and failed. The only workable solution is to erase Iran’s proxy armies off of the map. Maybe drop a couple of MOABS on Tehran.
They will get the message.
Yes. And, sadly, yes.
The problem with the Japan analogy is that we had Japan surrounded and nobody was going to come help them. In this case Israel is surrounded, and they might come help the Palestinians.
The other piece is the Emperor.
Religious/cultural/national leader all rolled into one. He said it was over, and so they believed it, and they did what he said to do next.
This.
There is no difference between giving weapons and being at war in my book.
As long as this restriction is limited to the US Government, I’m with you.
Otherwise, I’m always going to be pro-international arms trafficking.
This one got to me today. There are still people saying these were “colonizers” who deserved it. In what way can a non-verbal disabled girl in a wheelchair be a “colonizer”? Fuck those people.
https://www.breitbart.com/middle-east/2023/10/20/bodies-of-disabled-teen-father-found-at-music-festival-site-nearly-two-weeks-after-gaza-massacre/
Yup, they are not even hiding it. I mentioned it before but I heard a lefty radio show last week in which the guest said anything that was done to the “colonizers” was deserved, even rape and child killings. I don’t think this is going to play well for the left in the long run.
I do appreciate them being honest. And the Dems definitely have a problem, because that’s part of their rabid base.
Now all they need to admit is that they want to do the same to all of us too.
Didnt Hillary let that cat out of the bag already?
More than once. But they made it sound like she had a noble goal when she said that evil shit.
Noble goal….they are, after all, the ‘break a few eggs to make an omelet/ends justify the means/for the greater good crowd.
As usual there is a Mencken for that – “The Urge to Save Humanity is Almost Always Only a False-Face for the Urge to Rule It”
It’s a bold strategy, Cotton.
And some of them are even realizing that this is YUGE problem:

“Nations, like individuals, are punished for their transgressions.”

That’s a laugh. It hasn’t changed one vote. Not one.
Beware the word colonizer. The parallel with how the Nazis made the Jews the bad guys and then proceeded to justify their extermination and the path taken by those calling people that succeed in meritocratic systems is startling. If someone tells you you are a colonizer, what they mean is that sooner than later they reserve the right to exterminate you for being the bad guy.
In this woman’s celebration of the death of “colonizers” was the implicit suggestion that she would cheer on the same things happening here. It was another reminder to never give up your guns.
What gets me right now are the people protesting for Palestine, which they have every right to do as it is free speech, but are wearing masks while doing it.
Fuck nutz, do you not realize that no one thinks you have he courage of your convictions? That if you cannot abide to let others see that you stand for something, then you aren’t standing but posing? And that you are siding with people more akin to Nazi’s than victims, and you know this by not showing your face?
I take all news and commentary from either side with tons of salt. Like the Ukrainian War, there are no good guys in this war. Neither side has done a damn thing to create a lasting peace in decades.
From the other side, also take with much salt.
https://www.reddit.com/r/JoeRogan/comments/ndrha8/joe_getting_to_know_whats_going_on_in_israel_and/
My problem is with the people that take anything the evil fuckers say as absolute truth, and then report it without ever questioning or researching the facts, while at the same time going out of their way to avoid or discredit anything from those they don’t like. There is a cautionary principle when you see the media reporting information from entities like Hamas or the US corruptocracy/dnc stooges as fact without ever vetting it while, telling lies they know are lies to discredit the other side. These cuntes still today act as if – for example – their lies around the Hunter laptop are legit, even though they know it is totally debunked.
I mean, Israel has completely backed off from Gaza for almost two decades, only responding after being attacked. I’m not sure what else they are supposed to do. Stop being Jews?
All of this is driven, both here and there, by Jew hate. I never understood Jew hate.

Yep — as expected, slushing most of it into the Ukraine trough and just around the $10 billion Israel asked for. Didn’t expect the $10 billion for the Palestinians / re-arming Hamas (that’s how I read “humanitarian efforts” given they’ve been clear they want to shovel more money there… which even if it were spent as intended (narrator: “It won’t be”) is fungible and all…), and I’m sure somehow the money for the border is hiding a pork barrel. Not sure where the hell the “Indo-Pacific region” thing came from or what it is important to shovel into this “Republicans can’t vote against this… it supports Israel! Mwa-ha-ha-ha!” shitfest.
Easy for Biden to ask, tough on the tax payers/print shop.
At this point what’s little more inflation?
The Indo-Pacific region possibly refers to US efforts to counter PRC influence in the Pacific Island Countries (PIC) through econ development and building nation’s capacity so they can try to enforce their fishing waters from PRC illegal fishing. -OR- It could mean arms to Taiwan. -OR- Both or something entirely else.
I don’t get the sign stealing thing. If you can code break, that is the fault of the opponent.
When asked why he didnt signal in plays, but sent them in with a player the old school way, Paul Johnson pointed to his time at Navy and how they always had some players who would have the opponent signals broken by the end of the 1st quarter.
Players should probably be in quotes. As they were on the team, but probably didnt see the field. 3rd stringers who were better at codebreaking than football.
I’d say it depends on if they’re using clearly visible evidence, or if they’re relying on cameras or the like.
I agree with that. But what I heard (I didnt read article) is that they sent people to scout opponents. I assume games, if they were sneaking in and filming practices, its a problem. But if previous games, and you didnt change your signals, thats on you.
Baseball teams regularly change their signals.
Strike from what?
Gah. She managed to go from awful to worse.

Mentioned the cat/dog in lap condition with Mrs. Suthenboy. It is something we have to deal with on a regular basis. She suggested catstipated/dogstipated, catlapped/doglapped, incatacitated/ indogacitated. The last one doesn’t exactly roll off of the tongue.
Incapacitated = 👍
😒😸

I think that’s when the cat is taking up two or more laps.

Not so sure that was a smart move. The badge verifies your identity, not what you say. By removing it for posting propaganda, he is treating it as a verification of what people post. I really don’t think he wants to go there.
Agreed. Dumb move.
“Oh wait, that was really the NYT? Wow, OK, I’ll put the badge back of course. It’s just that the stuff they’d posted was so obviously BS propaganda that I thought, as did all right-thinking people, that it must have been an imposter or something. Couldn’t have been a long-established media org. Wow. Damn.”
The smart move would have been to suspend their account for a week for knowingly publishing disinformation. Or slap a disinformant banner on their page for a week following the incident.
Or just let them get roasted in the free market of ideas. More people will see it and not be persuaded by an arbitrary banner or ban.

The fact that evil government has unlimited funds (tax payer money) and the benefit of a corrupt judicial system and can grind anybody that isn’t a billionaire into submission, should worry people.

Nothing to see here, and this must be because there never is any doubt elections in democrat controlled shitholes are always clean…
Because it always has taken 3 weeks to a month and a half to finalize elections prior to 2020 (If I remember right, 2016 results were in quick; could be wrong I guess)?

China Arrests Japanese Executive Despite Tokyo’s Appeals
At this point I’m not sure why any executive above a certain level would want a China assignment. Long term this is going to make people even more reluctant to produce in China.
https://www.wsj.com/world/asia/china-arrests-japanese-executive-despite-tokyos-appeals-3c34ec22?st=whwe0loo7wbg3o5&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink
At this point, I’m not sure why anyone risks setting foot in China.
I mean, even if you avoid getting arrested, or picking up some health issue, they make it extremely difficult to get your money out of the country, and also get to steal anything you bring in, be it hardware or IP. You’re forced to partner with a CCP-control local affiliate, and basically financing tooling up your future direct competition.
Only a Moron would want to get in on that.
Japan is not innocent here. They arrested Carlos Ghosn and held him almost indefinitely until he escaped.

Yeah, doing business with countries that have a “Business is War” philosophy is a bad idea.
For sure, but way better than China.
I’ve discussed Ghosn at length and the Japanese justice system. However, they arrested Ghosn first. They didn’t just say he couldn’t leave the country.

Betcha can’t guess
Billions of snow crabs have disappeared from the ocean around Alaska in recent years, and scientists now say they know why: Warmer ocean temperatures likely caused them to starve to death.
The finding comes just days after the Alaska Department of Fish and Game announced the snow crab harvest season was canceled for the second year in a row, citing the overwhelming number of crabs missing from the typically frigid, treacherous waters of the Bering Sea.
The study, published Thursday by scientists at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, found a significant link between recent marine heat waves in the eastern Bering Sea and the sudden disappearance of the snow crabs that began showing up in surveys in 2021.
——-
Snow crabs are cold-water species and found overwhelmingly in areas where water temperatures are below 2 degrees Celsius, though they can function in waters up to 12 degrees Celsius, according to the study. Warmer ocean water likely wreaked havoc on the crabs’ metabolism and increased their caloric needs.
The amount of energy crabs needed from food in 2018 — the first year of a two-year marine heat wave in the region — may have been as much as quadrupled compared to the previous year, researchers found. But with the heat disrupting much of the Bering Sea’s food web, snow crabs had a hard time foraging for food and weren’t able to keep up with the caloric demand.
Other species took advantage of this dire situation, said Kerim Aydin, a co-author of the study and fisheries research biologist with NOAA’s Alaska Fisheries Science Center.
Normally, there is a temperature barrier in the ocean that prevents species like Pacific cod from reaching the crabs’ extremely cold habitat. But during the heat wave, the Pacific cod were able to go to these warmer-than-usual waters and ate a portion of what was left of the crab population.
If global warming did not exist it would be necessary to invent it.
Heat wave meaning….? I dont see any temp data there.
Curtis Sliwa is paying attention.
I understand replacement migration. Empires have used it in their colonies as a pacification/control strategy forever.
But why would you do it to your own country?
Replace individualists with collectivists? Why. on earth would power hungry politicians do such a thing?

A local school had their Halloween party last night, and we had a table for trick or treat. Seems the hot costumes for kids this year are Wednesday Addams and Mario characters. My favorite was two kids dressed in Buc-ee costumes. One girl was Marilyn Monroe (in the white dress). She said last year she was Elvis.
That makes sense based on recent movies and TV shows.
There are a lot of choices out there, so it was fun. What wasn’t fun was handing out candy to 300+ elementary school kids in an hour and a half. So. Many. Kids.
I am looking forward to trick or treating this Tuesday. Won’t be a ton of kids, but they will be out. I went space theme so I don’t even have to wear a costume. Most comfortable. Halloween. Ever.
““Choose costumes inspired by generalized characters and figures (ghost, zombie, spider, etc.),” the guild suggested, adding that popular costumes from projects such as “Wednesday,” “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer” should not be shared on social media.
They recommended that members should “celebrate Halloween this year while also staying in solidarity” with the ongoing actors’ strike.
They noted that the reason to not post costumes online is to not give studios publicity.”

Deals were made
Newly appointed California Democratic Sen. Laphonza Butler announced Thursday she will not seek election to a full term in 2024, avoiding what would have been a costly and bruising race for the seat held for three decades by the late Dianne Feinstein.
Butler — who was named earlier this month by Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom to complete Feinstein’s remaining term — said in a statement she made the decision after considering “what kind of life I want to have, what kind of service I want to offer and what kind of voice I want to bring forward.”
“Knowing you can win a campaign doesn’t always mean you should run a campaign. I know this will be a surprise to many because traditionally we don’t see those who have power let it go,” Butler added. “It may not be the decision people expected, but it’s the right one for me.”
She’d rather have more time to spend with the wife and kids.
Said, she’ll have to change residency again.
Sad*
” it’s the right one for me.”
Promised a really nice, powerful position in the future Newsom/Harris administration?
What a shame. Looked well kept and well loved. It’s now a a parts donor.
It WAS a nice car.
Obviously his fault for stopping so far back from the car in front of him.
As a candidate, Butler would have faced a sensitive prospect competing with Lee, whom Black leaders and political activists had urged Newsom to appoint to the seat after the governor earlier promised to appoint a Black woman should Feinstein’s seat become vacant. California has a relatively small Black population at 6%, but those voters make up a core constituency for the Democratic Party.
And we all know the negroes vote as one.
