Yeah, I’m in a sappy mood today.

 

PRADA, BABY: You straight lads and fashionista ladies may be moving one step closer to your cheesecake sci-fi cover spacesuits. Insert jokes about Italian engineering here. Fortunately, Prada is only involved with the outer (non-airtight) layer of the suits.

OHIO BILL WILL TEACH KIDS TO USE VPN: Ohio legislature introduces bipartisan bill to require age verification for accessing porn websites, criminalize minors who access such sites.

CRYPTID NEWS: Couple claim to have captured Sasquatch footage from train. Perhaps STEVE SMITH is visiting a certain Colorado Glib. And by “visiting,” mean…

UNCONSCIOUS SELF-PARODY AWARD: Casually clad US Senator John Fetterman (LUMP, PA) appears on clownshow, bemoans that American voters “not sending their best and brightest” to Washington. And you people thought SugarFree was over the top.

A CALL FOR ARTICLES: Swiss is doing that thing he does where he paces up and down the corridor past the open doors of lesser editors bellowing “Articles, where are the articles? The cupboard is bare, Signor Tonio. While you are making the frolic the articles they are not forthcoming.” So, help me out, here, people.

LIBERTARIAN MAN DUMPS HUMAN FECES AT CITY HALL: Denver libertarian Jon Caldara deposits bum shit on city hall steps to raise a stink about the city’s homeless problem, receives praise from mayor. Your person of the week, folks.

NEVER LET A CRISIS GO TO WASTE, EVEN LONG AFTER THE FACT: Parading the corpse of the martyr Matthew Shepard, whose death was only tangentially connected to his being gay, QUILTBAG++ activists warn that LGBTQ rights are in peril. Note how they laundry-list the sweeping accomplishments of LGB (etc) people as a whole, and handwave that away to narrowly focus on “certain medical care for young transgender people.” When you have to hide the hideous truth behind a wall of euphemisms we know you’re full of shit.

FAT BEAR WEEK WINNER: Female bear 128 Grazer wins after ‘stuffing salmon in her face.’ That’s how you do it, hon. And you’re not fat, you’re just cuddly. Amirite, Tres Cool?

      Hugo Boss is busy fulfilling their new contract with Hamas.

  3. R.J.

    “Criminalize minors who use such sites.” Is that called for? Really? Fuck off. Expect that bill to be challenged shortly.

    • Bobarian LMD

      Criminalize all minors. What better way to keep them under control?

      • Sean

        Smart.

      • hayeksplosives

        Hey, if public school system gats its way, there won’t be any minors to control after they transition the next couple of generations.

    • Certified Public Asshat

      In addition, Ohioans younger than 18 who access adult websites using fake ID information could be charged with a fourth-degree misdemeanor, which could bring up to 30 days in jail and a $250 fine.

      Not sure if this is true because TMITE, but if it is then obviously this is insane.

      • Pat

        Isn’t that about in line with the punishment for using fake ID to buy alcohol or tobacco? While these new restrictions seem absurd owing to the relatively open nature of the internet up until now, what they’re proposing is not really meaningfully different from the ID checks required to purchase any number of other restricted goods.

      • R C Dean

        Put that requirement on brick and mortar porn stores, and it would seem pretty ordinary.

    • Nephilium

      The bill hasn’t passed yet. I’m hoping that the legislature isn’t that much of bone headed puritanical idiots, but…

  4. Common Tater

    I don’t think kids will get VPN’s, they’ll just continue to download porn from pirate sites.

    • Lachowsky

      Twitter is awash with it. It’s not like anyone can stop kids who want it from getting it. I grew up pre-internet days and getting a hold of a magazine was never a problem. Plus, what kind of age verification?

      Are you 18 or older? Select Yes or No.

      • rhywun

        Send a notarized copy of your birth certificate to the nearest Ministry of Love branch office.

        I bet the first thing ever drawn by prehistoric humans was a set of tits.

        They fertile.

      • hayeksplosives

        I think that’s the consensus. If they are well-padded, they have a steady food source. They can likely bring a baby to full term and nurse it afterwards.

        Probably not conscious thinking, but good enough for natural selection.

    • Certified Public Asshat

      It will prevent some kids from watching gang bangs.

      I think it’s reasonable to verify age for adult material. We do this in person, so there probably should be a system in place for online, unless the argument is all adult material is now available to everyone and everywhere.

      Porn Hub allowed videos with under 18s to stay on the platform, so I’m not sympathetic to their business suffering some inconvenience.

      • Common Tater

        That system is called “parents”.

      • Certified Public Asshat

        To be clear, all age verification is unnecessary because of parents?

      • Common Tater

        It’s futile without them.

        There has also been porn on the internet for around 30 years.

      • Mojeaux

        It’s futile.

        Lock down your kid’s computer and phone and tablet.

        “May I go to the library?”

        Who’s going to say no to that?

      • Common Tater

        I think libraries block porn sites?

      • Nephilium

        As an old site that talked about ways to get around home (and work) filters said:

        “You’re putting your filtering software against the libido of every teenager in the world. I know which side I think will win.”

      • Certified Public Asshat

        I’m still wondering what the principle is behind age verification at say a strip club but not online, other than it’s harder to do online.

      • Pat

        Should have scrolled further, this was the same thing I was thinking above.

      • Semi-Spartan Dad

        Yes on government-imposed age verification being not only unnecessary but flat out immoral and liberty-seizing. Parents are responsible for their children and determining what their children can access. The government should have zero role in that. Taking age verification laws down to their intended consequences, this type of government overreach leads to gun storage laws, bans on tobacco or alcohol vending machines (now soda in places), needing an ID to buy a sharpie or can of paint, etc.

        The government having no role in that doesn’t prevent a merchant from voluntarily imposing age verification.

      • Pat

        The government having no role in that doesn’t prevent a merchant from voluntarily imposing age verification.

        The implications of this for, say, statutory rape are… awkward to talk about in polite company. I’m not necessarily saying I disagree, only that it’s a terrible hill for libertarians to die on.

        In libertopia, insurance companies and payment processors would likely impose age verification requirements on merchants in order to fend off lawsuits from sympathetic plaintiff parents when, i.e., their kid dies in a drunk driving accident. After seeing the kind of restrictions private enterprise is comfortable imposing during the last 10 years or so, I’ve actually come around to thinking that government is probably the better option of the two.

      • Semi-Spartan Dad

        Age-verification laws for merchants (which would not apply to statutory rape unless if you are talking about an underage brothel) are completely different from child endangerment laws and negligence laws. I’d say 99.9% of the tens of thousands of existing laws and statutes could be wiped away by retaining 20 or so core laws that actually pertain to harm caused by one citizen to another.

      • Pat

        Age-verification laws for merchants (which would not apply to statutory rape unless if you are talking about an underage brothel) are completely different from child endangerment laws and negligence laws.

        In degree, but not really in principle. If the government has no legitimate interest in preventing a 14 year old from accessing drugs or alcohol, it’s hard to come up with a consistent rationalization for saying it has a compelling interest in preventing a 14 year old from engaging in sexual intercourse, and that’s where you’re going to lose a lot of people. Our schizophrenic system of age restrictions in this country is insane, but you can’t talk about dismantling it without sounding like a fucking creep.

      • Semi-Spartan Dad

        I don’t know that we’re necessarily on different pages. If a 14 year old having sex is harmful, then that’s covered under a rape charge. Child endangerment and negligence laws still apply for giving something like a handle of vodka to an 8 year old.

      • R C Dean

        “Child endangerment and negligence laws still apply for giving something like a handle of vodka to an 8 year old.”
        Is that bad? Should I not have done that?

      • grrizzly

        I tried to buy a bottle of beer from a vending machine in Palermo but the machine asked me for some kind of health card. Naturally, it happened when my money had already been swallowed.

      • hayeksplosives

        On the parenting thing: both of my stepsons had iPods w/video. We also had a “family” computer so they could do homework, play games, etc. I sat them down and showed them how I could see histories of web visits for each account. Said I probably wouldn’t check, but that I could.

        They nodded in understanding. I also had their internet access blocked after 10 pm so they would sleep.

        Now, for those who say it’s up to the parents: many kids have divorced parents. “Cool mom” got them cell phones and that was pretty much the end of family game night, movie night/-everything. Youngest son’s grades plummeted, oldest son got anxiety.

        Hard to set rules for 2 households.

    The hero they deserve.

  11. DEG

    Good song.

    I’ve known Jon Caldara for a long time, so we’ve had more than our handful of discussions, but I think he and I share the same goal, which is what we want is be able to get people housed and be able to get back clean, safe public spaces that everyone can access,

    I suspect you don’t actually share the same goal.

    The heart of the conflict in Palestine/Israel, war in general, human nature. .

    • kinnath

      Good thing for us the Indians were woefully behind in the technology of warfare when the Europeans arrived.

        Why not give them both?
        Or a least a new flavor of an old classic.

      • hayeksplosives

        I thought syphilis was from sheep, and that tuberculosis was from the New World?

        I’ve heard folks blame Native Americans for tobacco deaths too.

        Eh, whatever. Life’s a bitch.

    • kinnath

      You could make the same video about the ground called Ukraine today.

        Plus whoever the hell swapped it pre-history.

        Imagine if the US decided that all people of non-native blood had to vacate the continent and did. Then the various “native” tribes would get to argue about the whole thing. “Now let’s not get to arguing about who killed who…”

    “Some of the new laws are directed broadly at the entire LGBTQ+ community, such as Florida’s so-called “Don’t Say Gay” law”

    Called by whom, asshole?

    • Common Tater

      “Esseks reflected back to the Supreme Court’s historic same-sex marriage ruling in 2015. At the time, he said, many activists were thinking elatedly, “OK, we’re kind of done.”

      “But the other side pivoted to attacking trans people and seeking religious exemptions to get a right to discriminate against gay people,” he said. “Both of those strategies, unfortunately, have been quite successful.””

      Bullshit. After you were kind of done, the LG organizations moved on to pushing trans on kids. If you didn’t do that, none of things you are complaining about would be happening now.

Just prior to the question, out of nowhere one of the presenters addressed a question, which nobody had asked, about why we are holding events in Florida at all. It seems someone messed up the script. It’s a good thing it was a one-way broadcast, because I was ranting at the monitor.

    Was just reading !Bee’s take on this, and today I learned that the freaking Guardian of all outfits debunked the standard narrative—the one that every Democrat politician is crocodile-tearing over today—a decade ago.

  17. rhywun

    No, I don’t think you actually do share the same goal – if you’re falling back on that tired, and debunked, notion that all you have to do is throw some houses at them and problem solved.

    skyrocketing living costs and accompanying homelessness

        That “argument” only makes sense if Iran was flat-broke to begin with. I doubt Iran was flat-broke.

        This must burn Biden and the Obamabots running him to be forced to do this. They want chaos and destabilization in the Middle East. I fully expect him to slide some cash their way on the down low while no one’s looking.

      • JaimeRoberto (carnitas/spicy salsa)

        I think at nanoscale often used sunscreen it can potentially do some weird things. Cosmetic companies like the nanoscale particles because they don’t stay white for long like the zinc oxide lifeguards used to wear. I used to work at a startup that made nanoparticles by running lots of electricity through titanium in an oxygen rich environment. We probably could have blown up the building. And yeah, you don’t really want to breath nanoparticles of any kind because the lungs can’t clear them.

    Levi’s CEO Chip Bergh said he wears his jeans into the shower to clean them

    ‘If they get really gross, you know, if I’ve been out sweating or something,’ the CEO clarified, ‘I’ll wash them in the shower.’

    As Bergh told CNBC’s ‘Managing Asia’ last month, he wears his jeans into the shower and scrubs them with soap as a person might wash their own legs. But only when his jeans get really dirty.

    Eugh.

    • Lachowsky

  21. The Late P Brooks

    It’s been nice knowing you

    The United States must prepare for possible simultaneous wars with Russia and China by expanding its conventional forces, strengthening alliances and enhancing its nuclear weapons modernization program, a congressionally appointed bipartisan panel said on Thursday.

    The report from the Strategic Posture Commission comes amid tensions with China over Taiwan and other issues and worsening frictions with Russia over its invasion of Ukraine.

    A senior official involved in the report declined to say if the panel’s intelligence briefings showed any Chinese and Russian nuclear weapons cooperation.

    “We worry … there may be ultimate coordination between them in some way, which gets us to this two-war construct,” the official said on condition of anonymity.

    The findings would upend current U.S. national security strategy calling for winning one conflict while deterring another and require huge defense spending increases with uncertain congressional support.

    “We do recognize budget realities, but we also believe the nation must make these investments,” the Democratic chair, Madelyn Creedon, a former deputy head of the agency that oversees U.S. nuclear weapons, and the vice chair, Jon Kyl, a retired Republican senator, said in the report’s preface.

    Addressing a briefing held to release the report, Kyl said the president and Congress must “take the case to the American people” that higher defense spending is a small price to pay “to hopefully preclude” a possible nuclear war involving the United States, China and Russia.

    I don’t think we could seal the border with Mexico without resorting to nuclear weapons.

    But toe to toe with China and Russia simultaneously? Yeah, we can make that happen.

    “And you’re not fat, you’re just cuddly. Amirite, Tres Cool?”

    The best part about fat women? In the dark, not matter what part you grab, it feels like it could be titty.

    Unless you’re like me and dig fat women with small tits. They’re tough to find tho’.

    OK, Swiss – there ya go. Finally got around to starting up a series I’ve been mulling for a while.

    • Swiss Servator

      Is the commercial one finished?

      • KK, Non-Man

        Yes – did I not submit it for review? Or is there something I forgot?

    “The United States and its allies must be ready to deter and defeat both adversaries simultaneously,” the Strategic Posture Commission said. “The U.S.-led international order and the values it upholds are at risk from the Chinese and Russian authoritarian regimes.”

    Holding the world hostage is a value, I suppose.

    I just checked. Border is still open.

      Taco Bell?

      • Tundra

        No, I don’t think that’s why they are coming here.

        But I could be wrong.

      If any terror stuff happens that pendulum’s gonna swing. Feels like it’s already started.

    Sports journalists who like to pretend they are real journalists are attacking Pat McAffee for paying Aaron Rodgers to show up on his show. McAfee claims he only did this after the fact as a bonus/thank you as it was wildly successful.

    McAffee says he’s proud of it. He’s returning a favor and rewarding the people who made him what he is. Which I agree with.

    Sports journalists who already lack a shred of integrity, let alone ethics, want to pretend this makes him some kind of shill. It’s a conflict of interest! As if anyone looks to the McAfee/Rodgers interview for hard hitting questions.

    • The Other Kevin

      Can he fly some people back? I hear that’s an issue.

      • Sean

    I got out of bed at around 1pm to make a sammich (not feeling like putting much effort into moving today).

    Stepped into a big, and growing, puddle of water that hadn’t been there at 10am. Called apartment maintenance. They quickly determined it wasn’t my washer dryer but was that of my neighbor with a mirror image apartment on the other side of the wall. Her water heater was broken and her whole place was flooded,

    4 hours later my place is dry, though they left a fan to dry the floorboards overnight.

    Fun, fun. Kind of glad I was home recovering from the car accident! Silver lining. I guess.

      U sure it not big pile of cat puke? LOL
