Saturday evening Links from the Gulch

by | Dec 28, 2024 | Daily Links | 118 comments

Happy New Year from Glibs Gulch! Add some slush and get rid of the sun and the photo above is what today was like. The shop should be reopened by the middle of January when the kids are back.

Links?

“Intergalactic pleasure dolls”. A sex doll that teaches a lesson about consent. Fucking Germans.

The little satellite that could. 430,000mph.

There was no baby with a baboons heart. There’s bonus points here.

Gotta break a few eggs to take over a country.

“Hey buddy, we’re doing it Dolphin Style”. Can I get a little help?

Fewer mouths the fat kid has to feed.

Okay. That’s it for me. I’ll see you in the New Year. Peace out, Glibbies.

    “A boy was found inside a large bubble out at sea”

    You’re not “out at sea” if you’re a few hundred yards from shore. I mean, going by the pictures and all.

    The shop should be reopened by the middle of July when the kids are back.

      Errr…January.

    Any time you walk away from a plane crash makes it a good landing,
    erm.

  4. The Late P Brooks

    Not cut out for public service

    There are a lot of reasons for that, one of which is this job is so unbelievably consuming — by design, I believe — to concentrate power in the hands of very few, to ensure that fundraising consumes well over 50 percent of the time with a lot of members of Congress, allows little time to build relationships, study issues and plan strategies to effect change. And the liberation from that consumption is really what made me make that decision.

    ——-

    I’ll miss the responsibility of being in the arena. It’s a real honor to wear that pin. I’ll miss that, but I won’t miss anything else, and I certainly won’t miss investing so much time, energy and sweat and tears into a mission that returned so little to my constituents, to the country.

    I’ve never in my professional life invested so much time and energy, and saw so little affected by that. I think that’s probably shared by most of my colleagues too. I won’t miss that culture.

    The seat is the end in itself. You shouldn’t expect to do anything but cling tenaciously to it.

        We all do.

    “That’s on top of the more than 1,500 Russian soldiers being wounded or killed each day,”

    This isn’t just skirmishing. This seems like Nazi-Red Eastern Front level killing, or Lee/Grant during Overland Campaign.

    • Chafed

      Yup. Total meat grinder.

    So, if anyone has called you a silly drunk or a jolly drunk (or, in some people’s cases, silly sober or jolly sober), please, by all that is holy, consider joining us tonight (I usually hop on a bit after 9pm ET).

    I neeeeed this. After a week at the fun filled Griswold Family Christmas, I neeed this. I have 2/4 bottle of Crown Royal on tap.

    • KK, Plump & Unfiltered

      Also I drove 6 hours today (as did Mojeaux and possibly others), so I can finally indulge.

      • Mojeaux

        We have switched drivers so I’ve done my 9 hours and we still have another 2, so I’m heading to Zoom.

      • Mojeaux

        Am in Zoom now with CPRM.

        I gotta dig out the Crown Royal

  7. Muzzled Woodchipper

    We need to think about how we approach sexuality, sexual health, reproduction in space in a way that is very considered, mindful, inclusive and ethical,’ she said

    What the fuck does this mealy mouthed bullshit even mean? Woke space fucking sucks.

    • R.J.

      Calling SPACE SMITH to the white courtesy phone…

      • Brochettaward

        In space, no one can hear you not consent.

  8. rhywun

    Fucking Germans.

    To be fair, “teaching about consent” sounds like peak American to me.

    • Muzzled Woodchipper

      Yes. Does the bot have to sign a consent sheet clearly denoting what is and isn’t allowed before anything even begins?

  9. rhywun

    Fewer mouths the fat kid has to feed.

    I’m not actually swallowing anything the MSM has to say about goings-on during, you know, a war. And that’s not even accounting for the very one-sided nature of the reporting.

    • Q Continuum

      Totes. They haven’t exactly covered themselves in glory for at least the past two decades, to the point where I actually think if you pick out a collection of random articles on any topic, more than fifty percent will be lies; not just mistakes but lies.

      Couple that with the fact that the globalist class has for some reason decided that this war *absolutely MUST* drag on for as long as possible and Ukraine *absolutely MUST* never consider giving an inch to Russia, there’s no reason whatsoever to believe a damn thing any of them are reporting.

      • rhywun

        Russia is the current global boogeyman. Yeah they are asshoe but no more asshoe than numerous others around the world.

        But somehow the blob got all the tastemakers to fly Ukraine flags – the flag of a country none of them gave two shits about a week earlier – and here we are. Or were. Everyone’s moved on to Palestine now.

  10. KK, Plump & Unfiltered

    I hope we can get a check-in from Suthen

    • R.J.

      It’s tough to the east, but not super bad. He is probably OK.

  11. Pine_Tree

    The sex-in-space article is ridiculous. From an Engineering standpoint, just grab ahold of each other and the problem’s like 90% solved. Sure, velcro to the wall if you want to, but it won’t be necessary. Besides, you know that “vomit comet” flight profile? Surely some rich degenerates somewhere have already arranged to rent an aircraft and have it do that maneuver just for this purpose.

    • kinnath

      Non-stop arguing over who gets to be on top.

      • Ted S.

        In microgravity, technically neither (or both) of them is on top.

        One can still be the pitcher and the other the catcher, of course.

      • Pine_Tree

        All about frames of reference, isn’t it? Seems the more important part would be not accidentally whacking your head into the wall while floating around.

      • kinnath

        that
        is
        the
        joke

        Kotz-Sex, ja!

      • Gustave Lytton

        What do you do for the other 20 seconds?

  12. Stinky Wizzleteats

    The Russians shot down the wrong plane, we shot down our own plane. It’s a war, things happen.

  13. Stinky Wizzleteats

    In space they can’t hear you cum.

  14. Q Continuum

    “When two dolphins are trying to mate, a third dolphin comes in, takes one for the team, and holds a partner in place so the two dolphins can successfully mate.”

    Two words: double penetration.

    “We need to think about how we approach sexuality, sexual health, reproduction in space in a way that is very considered, mindful, inclusive and ethical”

    Lefty word salad alert!

    People have been finding creative ways to fuck since day one, they’ll figure out how to do it in space.

    • Evan from Evansville

      Sorry, Ted.

    • rhywun

        Chiefs == 3 games in 11 days.

  15. juris imprudent

    So when the solar probe whips around the sun, does it accelerate into a time warp and arrive before it left?

    • Sensei

      It’s just a jump to the left
      And then a step to the right

    • Chafed

      If I learned anything from from Star Trek it’s that you have to do it at just the right speed.

  16. Aloysious

    So now that humans have colonized the sun, will the sun now experience global warming?

  17. Aloysious

    Did Putin order that plane shot down because he thought Kamala was on it and he wanted to stifle the cackling?

  18. Aloysious

    AI sex dolls: sin tax incoming.

  19. Q Continuum

    Ukraine CANNOT “win” this war the way that Zelenskyyyy has defined it. It. will. never. happen. I have nothing but sympathy for the average Ukrainian and what Russia has done is indefensible. All that said, I could not be more disgusted with the corrupt Ukrainian leadership and the Western globalist elites for their approach to this.

    The Uke government wants to keep skimming massive amounts of Western aid money into their Emirati bank accounts and the Western globalists want to keep fleecing their tax cattle for kickbacks to BAE and Lockheed; getting to stick to Vlad, someone who they’re almost as deranged about as Trump, is a bonus.

    Nowhere in the equation is any concern for the massive and pointless loss of life. These people are demonic, demanding human sacrifice as tribute to their false idols. Trump is no messiah, but if there is even a small chance that he can bring this utterly obscene exercise to an end, it will be a miracle.

    • UnCivilServant

      It still amazes me that there are not more revolts against people like that.

      How are they not dead at the hands of their own people?

    • rhywun

      Joe didn’t lift a goddamn finger in diplomacy, did he. And the blob he figureheaded for a few years still pretends that Ukraine will join NATO.

      • Q Continuum

        I honestly hope that Trump pulls the US out of NATO. It’s an entity that’s outlived its usefulness by 3 decades and is now officially a global security threat, not a security guarantor.

      • UnCivilServant

        Never going to happen. The man doesn’t share your principles, and what he sees as a problem isn’t the same as what you see as a problem. So the solutions will not be the same.

      • R.J.

        Agreed. He will do some good things, no doubt. But overall he does not align with us that well.

      • rhywun

        Not a chance it would happen even if he made noises in that direction.

      • rhywun

        *And nothing to do with whether he agrees or not – but everything to do with the blob/deep state/what have you would never, ever allow it.

    • Chafed

      What is the evidence US aid is being skimmed and deposited in foreign accounts? Genuine question.

    • Plinker762

      At least we get to see what a real war of conquest is like when done by a country that doesn’t give a fuck about the death of individuals on either side.

  20. Aloysious

    Space sexology expert? I didn’t know SPACE SMITH was certified. In sexology.

    • R.J.

      SPACE SMITH CERTIFIED IN SPACE RAPE.
      HIM NOT NEED VELCRO. BUT YOU MIGHT HEAR VELCRO NOISE WHEN SPACE SMITH TAKES THE FINAL FRONTIER!

      • Aloysious

        I’m safe

        I’ve got my cast iron chastity belt on backwards.

  21. Q Continuum

    “Fearing that her clients would be ‘incel-type men’, Smith created Kokeshi with feminist ideals and a ‘queer’ personality”

    G-d forbid “incels” find a sexual outlet that is completely harmless to everyone involved. No, we need to ensure they stay shunned into invisibility; better they shoot up a sorority house than have sexist wrongthink directed at an inanimate object.

    • UnCivilServant

      Wouldn’t the point of such a robot be for those who have trouble finding real humans?

      Modern companies – making a product for anyone except our actual potential customers.

    • rhywun

      I don’t even know what “queer” is supposed to mean anymore.

      • Sensei

        I struggled with that too. WTF?

      • R.J.

        Means commie.

      • rhywun

        Means commie.

        That does seem to be the meaning upon which the smart set is settling.

      • Evan from Evansville

        Excellent point. I’d pretty much say NOT queer = pretty much any woman with children(?) , and any straight man. (And yes, ‘gay’ seems to have lost some cache. Some, not all?) ‘Queer’ is purposefully amorphous and can fit anywhere they please, if it’s useful. For now. (Which I do hope is rapidly changing. I’m semi-optimistic?)

      • Sensei

        What’s old is new. Let’s go back to the original usage.

        a
        : differing in some way from what is usual or normal : ODD, STRANGE, WEIRD
        b
        : ECCENTRIC, UNCONVENTIONAL

      • Sensei

      • rhywun

        ECCENTRIC, UNCONVENTIONAL

        With an air of moral superiority.

      • Plinker762

        Unconventional = “I’m rebelling against your rules by following someone else’s “

      • Suthenboy

        Plinker: Someone recently posted an article that explored why rebels and ‘not following your conventions’ people all look the same…same hair cuts, clothes and moronic tattoos.
        One has to laugh.

  22. Evan from Evansville

    Re: the insane disemboweling story Tater posted: “Millorz Canales, 17, of Snohomish County, has been charged with first-degree assault, first-degree kidnapping, and robbery. He has been accused of luring the victim to Lions Park on December 17, repeatedly stabbing him, cutting out his organs, and leaving the victim to die while hanging from a tree, according to a probable cause affidavit filed by the Snohomish County Prosecutors Office.

    Prosecutors also charged his alleged co-accomplice Hayden Lusebrink, 17, of Snohomish County, with the same charges. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝟏𝟒-𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫-𝐨𝐥𝐝 𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐦 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐞 𝐡𝐢𝐦𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐫𝐚𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞, 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐨𝐰𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝟗𝟏𝟏, 𝐊𝐨𝐦𝐨 𝐍𝐞𝐰𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐝.”

    Uh. I’d like to buy that young man a drink. Damn. Atta-fuckin’ boy. One way or another, you’ll go far.

    • Chafed

      Seems odd he wasn’t charged with attempted murder.

    • rhywun

      Yeah, that puzzled me. I’ve seen horror movies with less disturbing imagery.

  23. Suthenboy

    Ugh. Slept through the storm here. Seems it was a near miss for us. The folks north of us however, I suppose we will find out when the sun comes up.
    Glancing over the comments….NO ONE HAS EVER FUCKED IN SPACE BEFORE WE NEED EXPERTS! is horse shit. Didnt the latest NASA cluster leave a man and woman stranded in space for months? I am supposed to believe they just sat up there filling their time playing ‘I spy’ or ‘duck duck goose’?
    Oh wait…those are euphemisms, aren’t they.
    War in Ukraine: It is a money laundering operation. Shut that shit down.

    • slumbrew

      There are seven people on the ISS; there’s zero privacy and the two trapped Boeing astronauts are unattractive, middle-aged people married to other people. I doubt they’re fucking.

      • Suthenboy

        I once spent some time in a place where you had to go to the middle of nowhere to start your journey. Trust me, they fogged up the windows.

    • KK, Plump & Unfiltered

      Thanks for checking in!

    • Pope Jimbo

      Aksually….

      Duck, duck, gray duck.

  24. Suthenboy

    Ghouls carving up 14 year old kids: “McNerthney discussed the uptick in youth crime, saying, “It is a problem that’s happening across the state, and certainly across western Washington. As to why exactly it happens, I don’t think it’s a simple answer.”

    It’s a mystery. No one can explain it.

  25. LCDR_Fish

    Soooo….the solar probe story…for years…the first thing I associate with these trips is always the classic Ray Bradbury story, “The Golden Apples of the Sun”. (starting to fade into memory although Danny Boyle’s “Sunshine” movie is a decent follow-up).

    I’ve picked up a nice masterworks anthology of Bradbury’s short stories, but I haven’t dug all the way through it to confirm whether it includes all the real classic shorts from “R is for Rocket”, “S is for Space” and “The Illustrated Man”. May go digging in the online used bin sooner or later. Some stuff never goes out of date.

  26. LCDR_Fish

    Wow…just saw this story. Not sure where Muan airport is in S. Korea, but this is just crazy. Looks like the only thing that stopped them was the barrier at the end of the runway…maybe ice on the tarmac too? Not too many folks walking away unfortunately.

  27. Pope Jimbo

    Uffda. I’ve flown Jeju Air a couple times recently.

    The seemed decent.

    Looks like Muan is in the SW corner of Korea
