Sunday Morning Pregnancy Links

You heard it here first- there’s a pregnancy in our little family here and we’re about to get a bit more numerous. WebDom and l0B0t are thrilled.

This was a classic Allegany County love story- they met, their eyes locked, their hearts soared, they fucked once, she got pregnant.

And in true Allegany County fashion, she was his older sister.

Yes, the puppies have truly grown up and are having puppies of their own. Big, happy, retarded, inbred puppies.

And the result of pregnancy is birth, and the result of birth is birthdays, today’s including the Catholic version of William Henry Harrison; a lady known for her slavery and Barbara Bush fashion sense; a guy who answered the Boy George question in the affirmative; a guy who was truly an enigma; the guy who taught Tonto his English; one of the better bright-eyed guest stars on Star Trek; a guy who made a harelip his trademark; a pioneer of beaver shows; a successful race-hustler who is unparalleled for amorality; a guy whose own show was meteoritically good and of course failed; and one of the best parts of The Norm Show (though I’ll confess a crush at that time on Laurie Metcalf, and my favorite character was Weiner Dog).

On to Links.

Keep hope alive!

This works better with orphans.

The usual dishonest conflation of homosexuality with mental illness. Key West will survive.

RUN AWAY!!!!

I like how Reuters has its hilarious propaganda pieces written by people named Mohammed.

This just seems mysterious.

“…because reasons.”

Old Guy Music today seemed oddly appropriate.

    Congrats on the incoming button!

    • Sean

      Buttons, I suppose…

    • juris imprudent

      Also, now we know why lobot has been so quiet.

      • Chafed

        He’s still exhausted?

    the Catholic version of William Henry Harrison

    Heh… my brain is too modern-Church and it jumped to JP1.

    Honestly, it is actually more surprising this wasn’t almost the norm instead of the exception given mortality rates and all. I suppose those making it to that point in life proved they were genetically tough and having access to wealth didn’t hurt (well, unless said wealth bought nothing but treatments of leeches and all…) to keep things from killing you immediately.

    Anyway, morning all. We expect the server to be practically overloaded with in-bred puppy pictures! Daily Rays of Sunshine ready to go for at least a year!

    • Gender Traitor

      I, too, thought of JP I, and I’m not even Catholic.

      Hmmm….this “reign” (for lack of a better term) was even shorter than Albino Luciani’s… ::starts digging for conspiracy theories about THIS guy’s premature demise::

  3. juris imprudent

    If that’s how we have to grow this community, then by god, let the young’uns have at. Congrats!

    one of the better bright-eyed guest stars on Star Trek

    I’m rather fond of that episode, but I have to say her performance through most of it can’t really said to be the reason why. Lockwood outshines her — and even the Shat Cheese plays well at the end (for me at least…. I’m actually really fond of the Above all else… a God needs compassions! … MITCHELL! bit. It works!)

    • rhywun

      Yeah, that episode is classic.

    • SDF-7

      Not a very observant one… isn’t this like the second or third time this lesson plan has been attempted and gotten someone in trouble? (I tried DDG searching… but apparently my DDG-fu is weak and I couldn’t get it to work in a year range… just kept getting the latest one…. ah, algorithms — brought to you by the same people that insist Generative AI is ready for prime time…)

      • juris imprudent

        Must’ve been local news.

        Well, there has also been reverse slavery to teach the experience, which was endorsed by the anti-racism morons. That spurred up a little controversy too.

      • DrOtto

        I guess it’s back to “If Tyrone has 15 bitches in his stable” math questions.

    • rhywun

      I bet my Glibs decoder ring that this was part of the curriculum already and the teacher pissed somebody off for some other reason.

      It is no accident that these stories keep popping up over and over again.

      You should grow a black beard to go with that mustache then.

    Look, that rabbit’s got a vicious streak a mile wide!

    Not entirely easy to make out — but looks like a small grass snake. Bunny Boy should take that easily. And anyone who’s had a cat knows Bunny Kicks are not to be taken lightly.

    But yes — that rabbit’s dynamite!

    • OBJ FRANKELSON

      As lagomorphs have staple guns on their face so, that snake is in for a bad day.

  12. SDF-7

    “…because reasons.”

    If the last 7 or 8 years has taught them anything — it is that they can just keep trotting out the same slurs with no backing facts and they’ll enter the zeitgeist of the voters. So no surprise they’re keeping at it.

    Le sigh.

    • juris imprudent

      A story doesn’t have to be true to convince people. Never has.

    Key West will survive.

    I think the tranny madness may have to fade on its own. Their campaign to take over the gay agenda was so spectacularly successful that every square across the land is terrified of them now.

    • Suthenboy

      I don’t get it. Some variation of Stockholm syndrome?
      Jews, homosexuals, women, blacks…why do these groups in general support the ideology that always ends up putting them in mass graves? What the hell is that?

      Re: The Florida story
      Not giving special privileges to some is not the same as being ‘unfriendly’.

      Gay dude: “I’m gay”
      Me: “Great. whatever. Go over there and do you. I’m gonna go over here and do me.”
      I know there are freaks out there, herd animals, that cannot abide others being different and actively hate gays but they are really few in number. Most people dont care.
      I never really thought one way or the other about it. Someone else’ sexual proclivities are none of my business.
      Now, apparently, if I dont bow and kow-tow to the gay agenda I hate gays. Oh well.

      • juris imprudent

        Most people dont care.

        quilt-bagger: Your indifference hurts me – you must celebrate who I am!!!

        Me: OK, I recognize the attention whore in you. Happy now?

      • Q Continuum

        Can’t speak to the other groups, but for Jews at least this is my SWAG as to the problem:
        1. A handful of radical rabbis perverted the concept of tikkun olam (heal the world) into being an obligation to lefty nonsense and it caught on.
        2. Reform Jews, especially in the second half of the 20th century began defining themselves primarily in opposition to WASP/Catholic middle America; hence the rush of Reform Jews into “seedy” industries like porn and gambling.
        3. Finally, and most importantly, 1 and 2 contributed to the Reform (and Conservative to some extent) communities replacing Judaism with progressive politics. At the core, they’re not really Jewish anymore; one of the most absurd things I’ve ever heard is someone talking about “atheist Jews” being active in the Democrat Party.

      • Bob Boberson

        It’s not about tolerance; it’s about the surge of power they feel as they rub your face in it and duly receive your fawning acquiescence in return.

      • juris imprudent

        fawning acquiescence in return

        Exactly why indifference is the same as outright hate to them.

        Hold on cupcake – are you celebrating me in return? No. Well then, you can just fuck yourself right off!

      • Gender Traitor

        “atheist Jews”

        So…Unitarian Universalists who want to stay “ethnic”? (AKA “Jewnitarians.” [an actual term. I did not make that up.])

      • Nephilium

        Q Continuum:

        I never heard that explanation for point 2, I always assumed it was an offshoot of the way that Jewish people were generally forced (by laws) into the professions that were looked down on (such as money lending).

      • JaimeRoberto (carnitas/spicy salsa)

        Celebrate diversity. That’s an order.

        Jews For Jesus

        “UUs for Jesus” might be a similarly small group these days.

    • R C Dean

      I’m still trying to figure out how so-called anti-trans measures are anti-gay, on account of I’ve been told trans people aren’t gay.

      • juris imprudent

        Being gay in fact is repression of your inner trans-ness!

      • Q Continuum

        Haven’t you gotten the numerous memos stating that logical consistency is white bigotry?

      • UnCivilServant

        Anyone who resorts to that claim is too stupid to live and should be euthenized for the sake of ending their suffering.

      • Chafed

        Me too, until I got Q’s memo.

      • juris imprudent

        Not so specific to the game, although he did feign injury when he wasn’t even touched (and got a yellow on the Dortmund player – stupid fucking ref). Lets just say he would’ve completely crumbled if he had been in Jackie Robinson’s cleats.

      Most predictable development evar.

    Talk about not having our best and brightest serving these days. In the old days, it would have taken someone like Truman to uncover corruption, dangnabbit!

    • juris imprudent

      Every star earned is a step further away from their actual military ethos, and into being a politician. It’s good we max out at four.

    • Bob Boberson

      Our military is no different than our political class; it’s upper echelon is populated by throughly unimpressive people who’s moral flexibility was not only an asset but integral in getting them to their current station. He was just dumb enough to get caught.

    • Drake

      Southboro, MA? A rich liberal enclave.

      Now I’m curious about the teacher, white, black, Indian (many have moved into the area to work in biotech)?

    • Bob Boberson

      Not caring is normal because we aren’t programmed or equipped to actually care about people we don’t know.

      That being said a healthcare system that countenances ending ones life when the person is clearly in need of help is the inverse of the Hippocratic oath. It is not only deontologically immoral, it a consequential landmine.

    • Don escaped Texas

      One can be entirely supportive of suicide becoming a widely-accepted and legal recourse

      while resisting the idea that the government or any second parties should ever have the authority to euthanize anyone.

      People makes mistakes and kill themselves all the time; eight billion folk will fuck up a thing or two; that can’t be helped, and to the extent that such occasions provide helpful data-points in the marketplace of ideas, they really don’t bother me much. But, as libertarians, we should easily recognize end of life as the most obvious of issues wherein government has no rightful role.

      They know the sound of black people?

  19. Common Tater

    “Potential Donald Trump running mate Tulsi Gabbard’s aunt has been beaten and stabbed to death, allegedly by her protégé.

    Caroline Sinaviana-Gabbard, 78, was found dead at the home of prominent Samoan author and playwright Papalii Sia Figiel, 57, on the Pacific Island.

    Samoan Police Commissioner Auapaau Logoitino Filipo said Sinaviana-Gabbard was killed last Saturday and her alleged murderer turned herself in the next morning….

    What sparked the fight was not yet known, but Figiel allegedly used a knife and a hammer to kill her – both of which were found at the scene.”

    Is there a function to find new comments quickly?

    I had the plug-in Trashy wrote years ago, but it stopped working at some point which I figured was just WP evolving into some incompatible configurations that no one had time to keep up with.

    With the steep decline in participation, it’s not like it’s a huge challenge to scan through, but, of course, that’s fraught with mistakes: I later find comments I must have overlooked.

    • Gustave Lytton

      New comments are light blue background for me.

      • Don escaped Texas

        yup: I’ve got that

        but is there a function to quickly skip to them ?

    • Gender Traitor

      I think slumbrew made some changes to Monocle that made it work on PC after the site updates. (I don’t recall whether the original link here now goes to the updated version.) At any rate, I was able to get Monocle working quite well on my laptop. (Windows 10 Pro/Firefox browser.) And to my delight, after slummy suggested I switch to Firefox Nightly on my phone, I was finally able to get the mobile version (Eyepiece?) working so I’m not bereft during the week at work!

      • Don escaped Texas

        I tried the reinstall but didn’t get the prompts like in the past

      • Gender Traitor

        How recently did you reinstall? If it was shortly after the site updates, you might want to try again, as I think it took slummy a couple of tries to restore all the functions. Otherwise, try to catch him or trashy here and confirm where to find the latest & greatest version.

      • Don escaped Texas

        to be fair, I do automatically get scrolled down to a new comment sometimes (like now to you)

        but I’ve seen it skip new comments, and I can’t jump to the next

        it’s far from important

  22. The Late P Brooks

    Sore loser

    The former president has made no secret that he plans to challenge the verdict against him in the hush money case — and attorneys say he has an extensive menu of legal avenues to pursue. Some think he has a decent chance of a reversal.

    “There is an appeal that could have legs,” said Arlo Devlin-Brown, a former federal prosecutor who was chief of the public corruption unit in the Manhattan U.S. Attorney’s office.

    Trump’s first chance to challenge the verdict will come within 30 days of his sentencing on July 11, at which point he can turn to New York’s First Judicial Department appellate court, not far from where he just stood trial. That court has such broad discretion to review jury findings that it’s sometimes called “the 13th juror.”

    Their attack is expected to focus on a few key issues, including the legal theory that enabled prosecutors to transform 34 misdemeanor counts of falsifying business records into a felony case against the former president.

    Why won’t he just admit his sins and accept the judgement of society?

      • Old Man With Candy

        They’re actually in demand here. The various mixing of litters and grand-litters from the same parents are all well-known and loved in the area; we’re likely going to take deposits from people who want the puppies.

        I think we have a new breed on our hands.

      • UnCivilServant

        Yep, it’s a college town.

  24. UnCivilServant

    I would like a sanity check on an idea.

    I was writing about a building primarily of brick, with the load bearing walls set in slightly from the front and back so that cantilevered spaces on the outside of the building can have windows to allow light in. Would these be able to hold up a thin brick facade on the outermost face of the building?

    • UnCivilServant

      To elaborate, the height of the building means the load bearing walls have to be thicker than would allow for good illumination on the lower levels, I was brainstorming ways that might get light in, but I already described the outside as being brick.

      • Don escaped Texas

        It’s all about the compressive and shear strengths of the material: you’ve got to go thicker as you go up. The tallest brick building has very interesting ways to let in natural light: Monadnock_Building

        I already described the outside, so this is for a book? Are you forced to maintain that the brick is loadbearing, because that’s really unusual. I assume you already know that usually brick is merely a veneer (an excellent one, of course) founded on concrete at the lowest level and then lintels at higher levels. Any reason your story building can’t have a wooden structure like typical stud walls?

      • UnCivilServant

        It is for a book, the scene is introduced with:

        Little sunlight reached the streets of Kalvegrad. Tall chasms of brick and stone blotted out the dingy, smoke-laden sky. Streaks of grime ran down stout, utilitarian facades. Covered walkways arched over the road, further obscuring the heavens. Spires and chimneys speared towards the clouds. Closer to the ground, a choking miasma of noisome aroma clung to the stagnant air within the city walls.

        The people who made these structures do not have concrete, and they are on the tall side. The structural options are wood, brick, and stone. I just want the load-bearing walls further in from the exterior face of the building.

    • creech

      You need to run it by a licensed architects and construction engineers board of your local government overseers. Then, in five or so years, you’ll get a decision that may or may not be to your liking but if it fails then government has immunity for liability.

      • UnCivilServant

    SCIENCE on the cross

    On Monday, the committee will hear testimony from Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases who became the public face of science during the pandemic. Committee members are expected to grill Fauci on EcoHealth and other aspects of pandemic decision-making. They will also ask about e-mail exchanges between Daszak and one of Fauci’s senior advisors, Dr. David Morens. A subpoena by the committee recently turned up embarrassing exchanges between Morens and Daszak, in which they appeared to be trying to avoid public records laws.

    Some in the scientific community see the hearings as the latest in an ongoing harassment campaign to discredit scientists who did their best to support the country during the worst pandemic in over a century.

    “This select subcommittee could have tried to use its powers to try and understand the scientific evidence,” say Michael Worobey, the head of the department of ecology and evolutionary biology at the University of Arizona. Instead, he says the subcommittee has chosen to interrogate scientists about grants and e-mails.

    It’s tragic. Those ignorant hicks with their torches and pitchforks should be grovelling at our feet, worshipping us like gods.

    GODS, I tell you.

    • Chafed

      I am still filled with rage at every lockdown enthusiast.

  26. The Late P Brooks

    “It is a disservice to the American people to have a hearing on this topic but to not hear what the scientists who understand it best have to say,” Worobey says.

    Okay, you an testify. But the first person to utter the word “model” will be doused in kerosene and set ablaze.

  27. The Late P Brooks

    The hearings are “absolutely atrocious,” says Dr. Peter Hotez, the dean for the National School of Tropical Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine in Texas. “Parading prominent virologists in front of C-SPAN cameras to humiliate them is going to have long-term detrimental effects on science, biopreparedness and virology.”

    Boo fucking hoo, you pompous charlatan.
