Just like last week, I will be at the gym at the time of publishing. Unlike last week I didn’t write this 15 minutes before I left the house. While I will still be doing power clean, I went ahead and found a diagram of something else I do on Tuesdays:
¡enlaces!
Apparently, Hannah Kobayashi had no idea she turned into a pseudo-celebrity.
Gee, why do they trust the cartels?
Since Panama, and Jimmy Carter are in the news again, here’s a puff piece on our favorite peanut farmer.
The whinging is what makes this article worth reading:
On Monday December 23, the Movement of Fired Workers (Movimiento de Trabajadores Despedidos, MTD) and other political groups condemned the layoff of over 3,000 education, healthcare, court employees and other government employees by the administration of fascist President Nayib Bukele. There are plans to lay off another 8,000, according to a recently approved government budget, part of a deal between the government and the International Monetary Fund.
Among the sacked workers are 800 indispensable Health Ministry employees, including doctors, nurses, and laboratory workers. Public clinics will be closed.
Scores of workers rallied at the monument to the Constitution in San Salvador, the nation’s capital city.
The demonstrators called their protest “Banging pots 2024, black Christmas” (El Cacerolazo 2024, negra Navidad). Demonstrators pointed out that the ongoing wave of layoffs meant that thousands of families face a black Christmas. Many of the protesting workers described how, with no explanation, workers were escorted out of their jobs by security officers when they arrived in the morning.

Gang wars! I thought T&T was one of the more stable islands.
I’m surprised I haven’t linked this song yet. Its everywhere.
“enalces”
Really, Mexi?
I’ve see the video before. The only place that I would have found that through is Glibs.
And thankyou for the Tuesday pick me up.
“indispensable Health Ministry employees”
Apparently not, since they have been dispensed with.
If it’s like the US, they are less indispensable than liquor store employees.
I laughed when I read that line.
Lost girl – ok. She is an idiot but I am glad she is a live idiot.
Why they trust the cartels? See discussion in last thread on Big Man/Tall Poppy syndrome.
Giving away the Canal was an accomplishment. Of course those shitbirds would say that. It’s horseshit.
We liberated Panama from Columbia, built the canal and Carter gave it to our enemies. Fuck Carter and fuck NPR.
A Brit movie crew once tried to make a parody of the NHS by portraying a hospital that had no docs or patients…that is until they found out there are several such hospitals in England. In the same fashion I am waiting for a failed parody about a country where every single person is a government employee. Oh yeah, we have had those before.
Turks and Caicos would be the stable, peaceful island. That is until money and dope started showing up.
Guam is the stable island. The navy said so.
I thought they flipped?
Hank saved the day
An undercover police officer wearing a Grinch costume has carried out a drug raid in Lima, Peru.
Should’ve brought a dog along on the raid, just to show they were giving Max effort.
Someone some narrowed gays over here.
Bukele is a fascist because he’s shrinking the size of the government?
Now you are catching on.
Same reason Trump is a fascist for cutting reams of regulations.
It’s the modern definition of “fascism,” i.e., something leftists don’t like.
That would be anything not expanding complete control of the minutia of every aspect of every human’s life.
All of those losers are based on the character Rik Mayall invented for The Young Ones. I wish i could find his poem about fascists.
You fascist junta!

Because, of the 3 options, I’m a loser.
Y’know, all year we hear “Marcia Marcia Marcia!” from the usual suspects.
But tomorrow it’ll be Jan first.
Never change, Shpip!
Fuck Your Mother, that was a good pun.
On theme.
I enjoy CNN dancing around who is responsible for this.
Massive outage leaves nearly 90% of Puerto Rico customers without power
Just a stab in the dark here but….let me guess, the private caretaker is expected to subsidize power there because the rates are dictated by law.
I thought T&T was one of the more stable islands.
Yo tambien.
Perfect storm of shit.
JFC. That’s worse than the good ole days in NYC.
Ha!
Dade County had that beat in 1981 with 621 murders with a population around 1.6m. They had 573 in 1980.
Wasn’t the drug war grand?
Anyone have a tankless RO system? They are kind of intriguing.
No, but post anything you learn.
I have a Waterdrop system. Compact and works great. Also one of the few systems that flushes less water than it produces which is nice. The replacement filters are a bit expensive, but very easy to change.
Thanks! My old system was a pita to change filters.
The small town grocery has a water machine. Coarse filter; reverse osmosis, carbon filter, and UV. 50 cents a gallon.
Sure. Absolutely.
Biden Exits Battling for His Legacy and Believing He Could Have Won
And if I wasn’t married I would be dating super models.
2028, Baby.
Jill Biden’s already looking ahead, Hunter needs a place to stay.
DOCTOR Jill.
I just heard some asswipe on the radio…some Dem Campaign bigwig calling Trump MEGAMAGA extremists a bunch of hillbilly rednecks with cut off sleeves, goatees and pickup trucks whose entire political philosophy is comprised of ‘brown skin bad’. All of them. That is why they lost.
That is not hyperbole. That is what the man said nearly word for word.
I heartily encourage them to continue with this progressive winning strategy.
This is what happens if you adopt an amoral mindset that cannot recognize objective reality. Their tactic of selecting for incompetence has paid off in spades.
Sounds like my lib teammate during our recent trip to Texas.
Well, one out of six isn’t too bad.
Wait… that was a failing grade everywhere I ever went.
😂🤣
In case you were under the impression he hasn’t completely lost his marbles.
Legacy
President Biden will finish his term and leave the White House soon in a way almost no other president has. He will be replaced by the president he once replaced, marking a big factor for any assessment of his legacy.
The worst case of buyer’s remorse ever.
Tankless RO system?
You can roll on and roll off all you want, but the tanks sink everytime.
As Scooby would say: “ro ro!”
Yes.
Here’s a pricy one, but damn are they small. I also like the UV.
https://www.waterdropfilter.com/collections/undersink-ro-systems/products/remineralization-reverse-osmosis-system-wd-g3p800
The system we use here is tankless and provides the cleanest water on the planet, but it requires its own electrical substation.
500 kV?
Cleaner than the distilled water you can buy at the grocery store?
That’s the one I have. I like it a lot. You can also add a mineralizer in the line to add back the ‘good’ ones.
Gee, why do they trust the cartels?
I just spent a week in rural coastal Mexico and there was nothing but paz and quiet. However the National Guard and State Policia presence in and around Puerto Vallarta was impressive. I really want a machine gun for my pickup.
Poor girl. Found or not found, there’s no winning that test.
“World Socialist Web Site”
Dude. You had me thinking that was some local TV station.
Pretty sneaky, sis.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
Happy New Year, Tater.
I hope it’s your best one yet.
Tundra: saw your comment the other day about the new food plan you have (mostly carnivore). Is that something you developed yourself or getting advice. Curious, because a few years back my wife went through a process where you simplify the diet radically then add foods one at a time to see if your body reacts to something. Don’t remember all the details, but I know they start off with bison meat. Apparently it has the fewest allergenics (?) of readily available meats.
Yo Raven!
I got a lot of advice. I’m lucky enough to know some people in the space and I have a couple of health issues that can be affected dramatically by food. There is a crazy doc named Shawn Baker who has been on a carnivore diet for years and wrote a carnivore book a couple years ago. Super interesting as he is both an MD and a high performing athlete. I’m only doing it like your wife did to try to figure out what’s fucking me up. There will undoubtedly be other benefits too.
Did your wife discover any interesting things?
Happy New Year! May this be a year of peace and prosperity for all Glibs.
Next year is a year of the Snake, and Rabbits (like Mrs TOK) are going to have a great year of financial and career success. Hopefully that’s true.
Happy New Year to all the denizens of our corner of the WWW!
An extra “Huzzah” to TPTB for keeping this island of sanity alive.
Sounds like we need a do-over, just to be sure
The U.S. announced Tuesday that it is leveling sanctions on entities in Iran and Russia over attempted election interference.
The Treasury Department said the entities — a subordinate organization of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and a Moscow-based affiliate of Russia’s military intelligence agency, the GRU — attempted to interfere in the 2024 elections.
“As affiliates of the IRGC and GRU, these actors aimed to stoke socio-political tensions and influence the U.S. electorate during the 2024 U.S. election,” said the Treasury Department in a news release.
The fix was in. Don’t let Trump take office.
What other sanctions were left for those two?
The US has been fucking around in the elections of other countries for 80 years now.
But buying social media advertising in the US election is beyond the pale.
OFFS 🙄
This embarrassing administration cannot exit the stage soon enough.
The amount of “anonymous sources” is about to soar.
There is no Oscar for attempted acting.
“The Governments of Iran and Russia have targeted our election processes and institutions and sought to divide the American people through targeted disinformation campaigns,” Acting Under Secretary of the Treasury for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence Bradley T. Smith said in the statement.”
They’re wholly owned subsidiaries of the Democratic National Committee? I learn something new every day.

“Two more top reporters flee Washington Post for further-left pasture
Two top Washington Post reporters have defected from the Jeff Bezos-owned paper as it continues to reel following the billionaire’s decision to kill an endorsement of Kamala Harris.
Political correspondents Ashley Parker and Michael Scherer were poached by The Atlantic — owned by Laurene Powell Jobs — and will join the left-leaning magazine ahead of President-elect Donald Trump’s second inauguration, the New York Times reported on Tuesday.
Their departures comes on the heels of a report Monday by Puck News that White House correspondent Tyler Pager and investigative reporter Josh Dawsey have been “mulling a transfer or have already decided to exit.”
The Washington Post headquarters.
The Beltway broadsheet has suffered an exodus of top talent — and a reported loss of more than 200,000 subscribers — since Bezos blocked the editorial board from endorsing the Democratic candidate just weeks before the election.
Three Opinions section members — David Hoffman, Molly Roberts and Robert Kagan — quit following the decision not to endorse any candidate for the first time in decades.”
https://nypost.com/2024/12/31/media/2-more-top-reporters-flee-washington-post-for-the-atlantic/
Totally not partisan.
That endorsement would have secured the DMV vote.
Yeah. Do they really think any endorsement by WaPo was going to sway anyone at all.
These people not only sniff their own farts, they enjoy it.
“I say, thaaAAT one was vintage! Bottle it and put a cork in it!!!”
If a few more fart sniffers leave, that paper may have a chance!
I maintain that there is nothing wrong with bias even on the news page. It was always like that back in the day and everybody knew it. Just don’t claim you’re “unbiased” when you’re not.

Green supremacy at its worst!
Mole
A former U.S. lieutenant general warned Sunday that Elon Musk, the tech billionaire who has become intricately involved in President-elect Trump’s transition, may pose national security risks due to his ties to China and Russia.
Retired Lt. Gen. Russel Honoré pointed to the Tesla and SpaceX CEO’s business interests in China, as well as his reported conversations with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
“The fact that Mr. Musk spent a quarter of a billion dollars to help re-elect Mr. Trump does not give the incoming White House the license to look the other way at the national security risks he may pose,” Honoré wrote in a New York Times op-ed.
“If Mr. Trump and his appointees mean what they say about getting tough on America’s adversaries, then they will act on this matter without delay,” he continued. “There is too much at stake to ignore what’s right in front of them.”
He’ll blab all our secrets, and tell them what’s on the Big Board!
The General has an acute accent! Are we sure he isn’t a security risk due to his ties to the Frogs?
He’s a cajun.
He fought the Battle of New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. I think that’s right, I recall the General on TV night after night after some catastrophe.
To repeat myself ad nauseum, if they’re really worried about China and security risk then go arrest Mark Miley and put him on trial for treason.
The last 5 years have sucked, from Covid insanity to losing 2 grandparents and the dog, to being unemployed for 2 years, to accelerated decline of parents. I know I’m leaving stuff out.
I appreciate this place and all of you as a place of sanity, darkness and light.
The new year begins with (on topic) Mexican vacation! Followed by starting a new job that’s exactly what I was looking for including a promotion and a raise! I truly hope things are turning around, with newfound empathy for those of you who are going through difficult times.
Happy New Year to you all!
Get after it Chip!
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year!
I hope the vacation and the new job work out for you.
Excellent! See I think things are trending in the right direction for a lot of us.
My earbug du jour, which I
inflict upon youshare as my wish for each of you in the coming year.I just got the notice that I’ve been accepted into the Range Master program, which means if I get through the thing and pass I get a red shirt and (occasionally) a golf cart.
My mentor is… Gary Johnson. I assume it’s not that one, but since this is a gun group, who knows?
What’s a leppo?
Congrats, dude!
$20 -same as downtown.
I’m not certain being a red shirt is a good idea.
Wait a couple years…
Happy New Year to you all!
Back atcha.

New laws go into effect across DC, Maryland and Virginia on Jan. 1, 2025
It’s that time of the year (although Virginia also does some 1 July starts).
It’s good to know someone running unopposed in a primary won’t require an actual vote …
All kinds of shit here as well

Fucking Kentucky Republicans good for goddamn nothing….
Yeah. Let’s defer to the FDA, you fucking shitweasels.
ECHL games are interesting. I laugh at the overly obese guy next to me in the stands claiming he would kick some players ass and he sucks.
Love minor league hockey
What team? Does KY have one?
The Jelly.
True story: On my team they call me K3. The first Kevin was Olympic Kevin, and the second Kevin was a kid I never met, that had a last name that began with Y. He quit after not too long because they kept calling him KY.
K4 is a small bird that was trapped between two sets of automatic doors in Denver last year. Olympic Kevin named the bird “Little Kevin” or K4.
Cincinnati Cyclones
Gary Burbank was a local radio guy on 700 WLW. He prank called Proctor and Gamble (Cincy HQ) about Kentucky Jelly.

Am I the only one who feels like today is just a day?
My wife has been in a funk all day, and now she’s paying bills, which will make that funk worse. We’ve got no plans for tonight. So no, you’re not alone.
I’m a bit sad because tomorrow is the last day of my mega-holiday-cation. At least it’s a really short work week.
I went to work, just like any other day?
Ignore the question mark…
Rufus knows you dont work. None of us do.
Well, it is just a day, the world turns despite stupid humans,
Cheers!
What kind of sick fuck would celebrate the last day of the year? Tomorrow is the real holiday. Unless you are celebrating on the First, you are wrong.
Im usually driving back to our Palatial 2X-Wide™ on Friday. For 2 weeks now its been Tuesday.
Im all kinds of fucked up.
Well, I’m home alone pouring a vodka highball instead heading out to party somewhere as in many previous years so yes, it is just another day now.
It’s my mother’s bday, but I took care of that before I left last week.
Did some work. Made some money. Talked to a client. Held another client’s hand.
Took the car to the mechanic and picked it up again.
Doing some computer housecleaning.
Don’t have to do transcription tonight because the clinic closed early and tomorrow’s a holiday.
And so.
It is a day.
Fa to 2024
Is the Glib server on Central (or some other wrong) time?
Yes. Yes it is, according to the time stamp on my comment.
“Central” means middle so that means the rest of those time zones are “extreme”.
Yes. I’m in a far right time zone.
Central time means boring and tornadoes,
I’ll keep the earthquakes thank you,
The NYT best pictures article. #43- I remember a Drill Sargent saying “hotter than a freshly fucked fox in a forest fire”.
Damned if he may have been right.
