Does the film really look like this? Yes. Yes it does. And then some.
Ahh… A palate cleanser. I think it’s time for one. I have shown a lot of classics this year, including:
Now I need some serious garbage in my life! I Am Trash! Come dig through the dumpster with me! This film’s plot is unfathomable. Don’t even try to understand it. Just realize that less than ten minutes of this film overall would be considered safe for work. A summary: Brave soldiers transformed into gorgeous nymphomaniac women! Women, transformed into voracious gator beasts by the act of sex! Nothing makes sense. But does it need to? Sometimes, the answer is no!
I have a short story about this film. One of the California lurkers came to visit for the eclipse and watched this with me.
“How do you find these films?” he asked.
“I don’t find the films, the films find me.” I said. So true.
Should you finish this film, catch the headline on the paper on the floor in the last scene. This came out in 1996! Things change, things stay the same.
So watch! Or don’t! Everything is voluntary! If you can’t take this film you can talk about your gardening, or spout off about the ding-dang gubment. There are no rules on Thursday nights! Next week I bring back some class and we watch A Scanner Darkly with animated Keanu Reeves and Winona Ryder.

So something that couldn’t be made today?
Hmmm….
I think it would be made today and shown on the internet only. And half the chicks would be dudes.
Sexual Hologram Interface Terminal?
Why do the women have weird looking boobs?
Q did not approve those actresses.
Those things never worked. Absolute SHIT.
Have you seen The Alligator People? (It doesn’t seem to be on any of the FAST streaming platforms.)
A publicity still with star Beverly Garland
I have! Nice film. Shows up on broadcast every once in a while.
I Am Trash!
I leave Dallas for less than a year and you’re already Vegas Elvising me.

Trashy! Good to see you. Avert your eyes tonight. Or out the family in another room.
I have used that picture for Zoom for a while now. No disrespect intended.
*Kisses ring
BTW, I’ll be down there mid-May. I’ll text you once I get a better idea of exactly when and see if we can get a meetup going.
Excellent. No messing around this time. Hard Eight for BBQ.
Hard Eight for BBQ
does not suck
¡Excellente!
Trashy: you still living in Chiefs country?
More or less. I’m in the southwest corner of the state, so it’s 75% Chiefs and 25% Cowboys
Have there been any KC Glibs meet ups?
I’m close enough to do a weekend in KC. Probably not until after August.
We were just up there a couple weekends ago. The drive wasn’t too bad. I’m amenable to a KC meetup.
Cool. I’ll see about maybe posting something in the forum in the late summer.
I can’t help myself. Obligatory.
Noice!
No late night tonight?
Just getting off. *insert joke here*
OT: The old saying politics makes strange bedfellows may never have been truer than in this instance. Talk about wanting a shower after just reading about it.
Internal server errors…..
No!
Will watch later. Thanks
There is a redhead, should Yusef be about…
The guard? Waiting for her to come back.
She will.
Aha! Cheers!
Dude sounds like Alex Jones. Or does Alex Jones sound like….
Alex Jones has a generic dude voice.
Having a math issue with Mrs. Prole regarding our property tax appraisal. Our assessed value was about $100k below their alleged market value, because the assessed value is capped at a 10% annual increase. I sent in a protest saying their alleged market value was way above an actual sales price for a nearby property.
They promptly offered to lower the market value by $50k – which is still $50k above the assessed value.
Mrs. Prole was delighted at this “decrease” in taxes. I said they had politely told us to go pound sand and weren’t gonna decrease our taxes at all. She didn’t believe I understood their offer.
Tell her I sympathize and that property taxes are a racket.
Also it is pointless to protest. For the exact reason you mentioned.
This is why I loved Prop. 13.
If that many politicians hated it, it has to be good!
Mrs Lytton must be her sister. Similar limits on annual increases to assessed value and so far underwater that it doesn’t matter what they assess it as. And fucked if sold and purchased another place.
I complained one time and they offered to come out and make another assessment. I asked what good would that do, they could assess higher. While I didn’t say the actual words I wanted to say I did register my disappointment and walked away.
We’re taxed at about 1/2 of 1% of assessed value. OTOH we have a state income tax plus a sales tax (not on food and most clothing)
With property taxes, you never really “own” anything.
On the topic of 10/7 intel failures:
2 years ago, the head of the Egyptian intelligence directorate met with Hamas leaders in Gaza
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8risT-qlTc
from wiki
***
Abbas Kamel graduated from Military college in 1978, then served as an officer in the armored corps. He received an advanced armament course from the United States of America. He also had strategy courses for military attachés from the Geneva Centre for Security Policy.
…
In May 2021, Kamel met Israeli and Palestinian officials following the Israel–Palestine crisis.[7][8] In August 2021, he met Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and Defense Minister Benny Gantz to prevent new clashes with Hamas.[9]

I guarantee this guy has a laptop and a smartphone. They were probably bugged by NSA, but whatever info was gained was either not useful or not acted upon.
You know what else the NSA hasn’t figured out?
The Sexual Hologram Interface Terminal?
This one looks bonkers, I will try to check it out this weekend.
This is the most NSFW I have shown so far. “Nightmare Weekend” is coming though, that may beat it. I have to stock up on classy films first, like “Scanner Darkly” and “7 Golden Men.”
How to decrypt [redacted] sent by [redacted] by means of [redacted] and [redacted]?
Nope. That I hide a different short film or song in STEVE SMITH’S threat every week.
Why HUMINT in Gaza is hard:
Hamas publicly executes 18 suspected of being informants for Israel
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6OoVU_d2Qs
Technically, the title says “gunmen”, but that is code for Hamas as is the phrase “the resistance” (al-muqawamah).
My Arabic still works, though it’s been getting rusty from lack of use. I used my blood donation gift card to get French and Spanish CDs so I can listen in my car. I expect to have at least a half hour commute in the near future.
I wonder how many actually were informants.
THICC Thursday After Dark.

Guess I won’t be vacationing in Tehran this summer.
Even before this I wouldn’t vacation there, or China, Russia, Venezuela……
I prefer vacations on Lake Texoma. Nobody calls me an infidel there or tries to set my trailer on fire.
China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, Ukraine, they were all on my list of interesting places to go. Now like going to Afghanistan in the 70’s.
https://x.com/RepThomasMassie/status/1778241565103722719
Whoa.
I’ma watch this once the wife’s asleep
Good plan.
Just remember the military truism, “The first reports are always wrong.” when considering what the talking heads speculate on tonight about the reported Israeli response to the recent attack by Iran.
Now I’m off to race!
The prettiest actress was the brunette at the end.
I don’t like the way Tubi cuts off the credits.
Agreed. I need to see if they do that in computer vs. smart device. Also I finally got their app side-loaded to Windows. It’s ball and doesn’t have a mini-player mode. Firefox is better. I shall report that as an improvement.
I’m using Firefox on a computer. Never tried an app.
“Actress.”
Any thoughts on *snickering* the Three Body Problem series
how the aliens are all pack-minded furry wolves
SPOILERS
The wolves are helpless by themselves but in packs of three or more they’ve got human-like consciousness
but the packs have to avoid other packs because the interference goes crosswire
it’d be a nightmare if a human crossed paths wouldn’t you think
That completely negates their whole evolutionary path as laid out in the book, but w/e.
Sounds like a direct ripoff of the Tines in A Fire Upon the Deep.
Whether by incompetence or malice, the result is the same: chaos at home and abroad
Opportunists in the government use the chaos to seize more money and power for themselves. It creates a vicious cycle.
I’ve reached the point where I firmly believe the government should be as small as possible with minimal money and power. I doubt that will happen through elections. I’m just going to live my life, mind my own business, and ignore, bend, or break whatever rules I can. Hell, that’s what the politicians and bureaucrats are doing.
God bless America and good night fellow Glibs!

Quality set.
Quality dialogue with punning.
This is gonna rock.
ooo… Dr. Goodbody. That’s the best name for a Dr. since Dr. August Balls, of Nice.
Morning, Glibs.
One more day to slog through and this week is over.

Yay, Friday! Morning folx.

I fucking miss the 90s. 🎶🎶
Good morning, Sean and U!
Morning.
How goes it?
I got thrown off a bit because the store rearranged the salad dressing and crouton replacements, but I did find the parmesean crisps and dressing for my breakfast salad and am at work.
Right now I’m trying to think up a fictional slang term for a vat grown human who is not one of the mass produced clones but had started from the DNA of a dead person that was then edited.
The mass produced clones are ‘Dittos’
Wow. Hmmm…. a deadit/dedit?
My mind had been wandering around ‘replicant’ (which I decided to avoid) and ‘redo’.
A one-off?
“Mega-ditto”?
Limbaughs?
Sounds like a custom job.
Maybe a Bespoke?
🙂
Whatever happened to them? Huge for one album and then*poof*. Solid song though.
Evident every morning around six 🙂
#metoo
Hehe.
I did recently post up brand new Ozzy, Slash/Brian Johnson, and PSB though…
And a Limp Bizkit, cuz I know they’re a favorite of Swiss.
Folx for the wolx.
Mornin’, reprobates. Or repligates. Whatever.
I happened to be in NYC yesterday, meeting a cousin for lunch on the upper west side, so I decided to wander around Morningside Heights to see what all the fuss was about. Entrances to Barnard and Columbia were closed to the public, but there was a small group of “protesters” outside the Columbia entrance on Broadway, dressed in masks and kiffayeh, chanting their fool heads off. They were severely outnumbered by New York’s Finest and crews from all the local news outlets, which confused me – I did not know at the time about the encampment *inside* the campus, which was what they were there for. You need a lot of cops to make 108 arrests, and a lot of “journalists” to keep the public informed.
Had lunch with my cousin at noon, then walked back uptown and saw corrections vehicles heading uptown on Broadway, and said to my cousin “looks like they made a few arrests”. Yeah, they made a few. And they all got desk appearance tickets. Nice piece of theater.
Good morning, ‘patzie! Good to see you!
I thought the theater district was further downtown. 😄
Us Puerto Ricans hang out uptown. In “White Harlem”.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=op9V_apxd-w
I’m so sorry that you had to go into the city.
Actually, Morningside Heights is pretty cool. Cathedral of St. John the Divine, Riverside Church, Grant’s Tomb, numedrous well-maintained parks… And lunch (about 15 blocks south of there) was cheap and good. Shredded beef Cuban style, Plantains, soup, salad for $20 including tip.
Wow! I didn’t think you could get a glass of water in NYC for $20!
I’m suspecting this trip took place in the 1970s.
The cathedral is amazing.
The street chicken kebab I had nearby one time was disgusting.
Isn’t “Street Chicken” just rat?
Everyone is taking these idiots way too seriously. They are a tiny number of commie bleevers fortified by zillions of larper assholes many of whom have been brainwashed by their sixties reject professors.
A lot of good would come if the media just ignored them.
The protestors and the media are in a classic codependent relationship.
No shit. It reminds me of Al Sharpton. I witnessed one of his protests back in the day, maybe 50-100 protesters marching over the Brooklyn Bridge. When I got home and watched the TV news version, they shot it so it looked like thousands of protestors and reported the story as if this were the case. There is a symbiotic relationship between media and protestors, the odds of media ignoring them is about zero, give or take.
I am seeing a bit of media pushback – honestly reporting numbers and such. It’s refreshing but just a start. People are clearly getting sick of their shit.
I somehow made it to work without my phones.
Today is going to be boring af.
I hardly ever use my phones
at work.I somehow made it to work without my phones.
You’ll have to find some other way to occupy your time. Maybe, I dunno, work?
Maybe the hardware he uses is controlled via phone app?
I’ve seen stupider setups.
Agreed…
Our current status here…in which we do our field logging on.
No, but my “I accidentally broke this and can’t figure out what I did” communications are almost all via phone, since the laptop battery is only good for ~3 hours.
Battery?
You broke the wall power?!
Fun fact, the microscope rooms have no AC power, ’cause 60Hz EMF.
Let me guess, there’s that stupid little federal rule against installing proper shielding against interference on non-military electronics…
Well, even if the walls were shielded, whatever got plugged in wouldn’t be. We’ve had issues with contractors dragging in extension cords.
EMI is Bad!
I was thinking of some shielding on the devices getting messed with.
Note – I do not know how the microscopes are set up. I assume these are electron microscopes, since optical wouldn’t be worried so much about the wall power interference.
Damn. I’m retired for one month and I’ve already forgotten about this kind of shit. I guess that’s good?
the laptop battery is only good for ~3 hours.

y OT, I am now the proud owner of a new laptop whic in its former life was my corporate laptop. I was supposed to receive a prepaid shipping box to return it, but when three weeks passed with no box, I decided to wipe it and install linux. So I now have a perfect laptop to take with me when I’m travelling. It’s a 5 year old laptop, so probably not up to corporate standards and they no doubt would have trashed it had it been returned. Pretty bad security, though, I had a lot of proprietary stuff loaded on that workstation. I did them a favor by wiping it.
When I moved last year I discovered a work laptop in my closet that was probably 8 or 10 years old. That was back when we got a desktop for the office and a laptop for after hours.
I hadn’t considered that. Smartphones are not the most reliable or secure devices, I don’t understand the rush to make everything dependent on them.
It’s to the point where I got a cheap refurb samsung tablet that’s the garbage can device. It sits powered off most of the time until I trip over something that insists I use some dumb phone app, then the tablet gets it installed until I get past the hurdle.
The GoPro insisted I download their stupid app to complete first time setup – even though it hasn’t complained once about never talking to the app again.
Thats why I have a portable raspberryPI for ‘development’ in my workbag.
My development raspberryPI has a ribbon cable sticking out of the case that makes it less portable.
My RaPi-4 spent 1.5 years immersed in mineral oil. Hooray for Elihu Thompson and his discovery.
Teaching job interview via Zoom at 10:30. Then another of fingerprinting and a drug test. It will be the 7th time in my life I’ve been fingerprinted. First time was for Peace Corps back in 2007. That was the only time when actual ink was used.
STEVE SMITH USE RAPEY 4! AND 5 AND 6 AND…
I have jury duty on Tuesday. I was assiduously searching the notice for the number to call to see if they will actually need me. Finding no such number, I looked on the website, and it said my reservation has been confirmed.
The last time I had jury duty, I was selected as an alternate, so I was kind of hoping to be skipped for a few years. I didn’t even vote in the last election. Oh, well.
Good morning, and goodbye to this old thread!
