Survey says I’m a Paleolibertarian bitches. That means I eat “L”ibertarians for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Soave tastes a little fruity. Wait a minute, that doesn’t sound quite right…

    In case anybody still had questions, we’re probably headed to war in Europe.

    The important thing is to make sure Trump is distracted from focusing on anything domestic.

      I hate politics so much.

    Trent Tripple, a Republican who had worked in the Ada County clerk’s office and was elected to lead it starting last year, said he was convinced there was a solution that could help people gain confidence in their elections once more: It was time to publish the ballots for everyone to see.

    Explains the quaint affinity for ballot security and accurate counts.

    The extraordinary effort is being watched by elections officials around the nation who are looking for ways to restore confidence among voters amid years of distrust, stoked in large part by Mr. Trump’s false claims about a stolen election in 2020.

    I assume this is just boilerplate, since the millions of missing Biden “voters” who apparently vanished into the ether this year give credence to Mr. Trump’s claims.

    The vice president is the daughter of Marcos’ predecessor, Rodrigo Duterte, whose police-enforced anti-drugs crackdown when he was a city mayor and later as president left thousands of mostly petty drug suspects dead in killings that the International Criminal Court has been investigating as a possible crime against humanity.

    Now I see where President Dudebro got his inspiration.

    Hugs to you, Spud.

    • Aloysious

      Ditto.

      I hope he doesn’t mind hairy man-hugs.

      • slumbrew

        When Spud’s involved it is, by definition, a hairy man-hug.

        *also hugs Spud*

      • PutridMeat

        Presents manly hand-shake and shoulder clap.

    Matt Gaetz is following in the footsteps of another Republican who left Congress under a cloud of controversy … by joining Cameo.

    $250 gets you a brief appearance.

    $500 if you want him to wear a g-string.

    • R.J.

      Need to raise money to pay for him to do a Butt Head impersonation.

      • LCDR_Fish

        Worked for George Santos.

      Ilhan Omar has already signed up for option 2

      He was from a voting standpoint technically a way more libertarian congressman.

      Too bad he was a creep.

      Btw, can’t help but notice Trump straight up lied about appointing a libertarian.

      Prepare for more disappointments.

        CommaLa lost. Everything else is a bonus (hole).

      • R.J.

        Yes. I have no expectations, so if anything goes right, I also consider it a bonus.

        How Scott Bessent Went From Democratic Donor to Trump Treasury Secretary Pick

        Interesting choice. No all good not all bad.

        Well, the(we) Libertarians had a chance for a seat at the table, but screwed that pooch, I don’t know why they(we) expect anything more.

    Swinging by philstar.com – one of the papers I used to read fairly regularly in the 90s – is just weird. There’s still the bizarre pinoy habit of publishing nicknames for most politicians or famous figures – and just publishing full conversations. Sounds like that threat thing is tied to an ongoing story I hadn’t been tracking with internal corruption trials, etc – seriously don’t recall hearing that Duterte’s daughter was Veep because the big takeaway at the election was that Marcos (son of old Marcos and his shoe-fanatic senator wife) was so much more anti-China than Duterte and willing to play ball with us in the SCS.

    “When products are interchangeable, the primary way to compete is on the basis of price,” the lawsuit said.

    Except the products are not interchangeable, in my experience. And how did some supermarket employees come to their conclusions here I wonder. Everything’s been jacked up so much in the last few years how do you even decide that something’s fishy in frozen potato products in particular.

    including french fries, hash browns and tater tots

    Is Tater Tots not a trademark of Ore-Ida? Or, like Xerox and Kleenex, has Ore-Ida lost control and the name has entered the vernacular?

      • Gender Traitor

        Did you google it?

      They have been tatoring on the brink of death for a while.

    Many pints of ale will be hoisted in Big College Town tonight, as our gridiron lads vanquished a (now formerly) Top-10 foe.

    I can certainly tell you that Blondi was stoked.

    • rhywun

      Awww terrifyingly adorable!

  10. Spudalicious

    Thanks, guys. Self pity time is over and it’s time to get on with it.

    • Ownbestenemy

      It’s been 4 years since my dad’s death and 8 since my grandmas…..still reflect on them, hit low points and everyday things remind me Spud.

      If one thing can unite humanity it is grief.

    World on fire yet? No? Alright back to learning pixel art

    Alas, Jaguar seem to have got the piping-down memo too late, declaring this week that: “This is a reimagining that recaptures the essence of Jaguar, returning it to the values that once made it so loved, but making it relevant for a contemporary audience. We are creating Jaguar for the future, restoring its status as a brand that enriches the lives of our clients and the Jaguar community.” OK! Although, counterpoint: you’re releasing a tired mess, two weeks post a Donald Trump election victory, and amid the undeniable sense that there has been a vibe-shift on the era of woke capitalism that has perplexed and delighted consumers for the past few years, in distinctly unequal measure. In some ways, the timing of this ad calls to mind all those Sunday newspaper columns viciously slagging off Princess Diana that – print lead-in times being what they were – appeared in the newspapers just as the world was waking up to news of her death. There had, to restate the point, been a vibe shift.

    The effect is to render Jaguar’s new ad an instant period piece. Or to put it another way: while it might have been infinitely less iconic in terms of design, there is a sense in which that lift in the Jag advert really has turned out to be a secret weapon. Trouble is, it’s pointing the wrong way. Jaguar have Trojan horsed themselves.

    When even the Guardian has you pegged as dated by DEI, you done fucked up.
