“I want to tweet,” Donald grumbled.
“OK,” the hat said, “Call the Social Media Coordinator.”
“I don’t they call it Xerxing now?” the hair asked.
“What the fuck are you on about?” the hat asked.
“Xerxing,” the hair said. “It’s not Twitter any longer and so ‘tweeting’ is no longer the term for tweeting.”
“Oh, fuck off,” the hat said. “I’ve had enough of your proscriptive baboonery.”
“You’re the one that insists on using a generic trademark,” the hair shot back.
“I don’t like the Social Media Coordinator,” Donald said. “She won’t let me tweet what I want.”
“See, the triumph of the generic trademark,” the hat said.
“The Social Media Coordinator is there for your protection, Donald,” the hair said.
“She won’t let me tweet what I want,” Donald said.
“Yes, that’s the point of her, Donald,” the hat said.
“She doesn’t even want me posting in ALL-CAPS,” Donald said sourly.
“Because it seems like you are shouting,” the hair said.
“We’ve talked about this, Donald,” the hat said.
“I think in ALL-CAPS. Why can’t I tweet in ALL-CAPS⸮” Donald asked.
The three of them sat in silence for a few moments.
“Shouldn’t someone walk in right now?” the hair asked.
“That’s what usually happens at this point as a tonal beat to set up the third act,” the hair agreed.
“Should something this short be considered to conform to an act structure?” the hat mused.
“These are vignettes that generally begin in media res, but they still have a definable beginning, middle, and end,” the hair said.
“Even if the ending is just a kicker?” the hat asked.
“I think the lack of a denouement is supposed to be part of it as a variety of drive-by satire,” the hair offered.
“Can you two just shut up once in a while?” Donald asked them. “You sound like a couple of fags.”
“We are not homosexuals,” the hat said coldly.
“I didn’t say you were gay,” Donald said. “I said you sound like fags.”
So if Inception got an ouroboros tattoo, then crawled up its own asshole, while livestreaming on Meta.
Also, what happened to The Hat? Ketamine-Adderall cocktail?
Ayahuasca with Uncle Elon.
That does seem more appropriate for an eternal entity/incarnation of the abstract concept of headgear.
The hat met the machine elves and they screamed in terror.
Question.
How did fag end up being an effeminate slur? Originally for the gheys but now in general
South Park explains.
I know that one, how about a real one?
A fag is a small stick, so a cigarette could be one, but why gheys? Or idiots?
George Carlin: “A fag was someone who wouldn’t go out and beat up queers with you.”
-Occupation: Fool
“Fagging” was the act of a junior “public school” kid in Britain running errands/doing chores for an older one. Supposedly from gathering bundles of firewood (faggots). And being an all-boys rich-Brit institution a senior kid’s fag would sometimes be expected to perform sexual services for him.
Running out an “shagging” a female companion for the evening?
We used shagging as bringing something back. My dog will shag ducks but not pheasants, etc.
“Shouldn’t someone walk it right now?” the hair asked.
Walk what?
“I said you sound like fags.”
And you shit is all retarded.
We have finally reached the future.
My first wife was tarded. She’s a pilot now.
I think in ALL-CAPS.
That would explain a lot.
There has never been a deeper insight into Trump.
That is probably as deep as it could ever possibly be.
Assuming he thinks at all.
I’m not sure I want to know how we got from “burning stick” to “homosexual”.
Exactly
Pole smoking.
The term faggot originated in late 16th-century English as an insult directed at women, particularly older women.[6] Its association with homosexuality likely stems from linguistic patterns that use feminizing terms, such as nancy, sissy, and queen,[7][8] to demean homosexual or effeminate men. The application of the term to old women is possibly a shortening of the term “faggot-gatherer,” applied in the 19th century to people, especially older widows, who made a meager living by gathering and selling firewood.[8] It may also derive from the sense of “something awkward to be carried” (compare the use of the word baggage as a pejorative term for old people in general).[7]

Thanks SF!

Only a fascist would use a term for a bundle of sticks as a pejorative.
I think they actually read that quote on the South Park episode.
And to NA too.
Brilliant candidate selection there Lou:
Proof that the brain worms love us and want us to be happy?
“She won’t let me tweet what I want,” Donald said.
“Yes, that’s the point of her, Donald,” the hat said.
What’s the point of being absolute ruler of the greatest and most powerful nation on the planet if you can’t tweet any and every mental dust bunny hopping down the hallways of your mind?
“Shouldn’t someone walk in right now?” the hair asked.
Is this really a show about nothing?
It’s Cheers, and that’s normally the time where we all go “Norm!”
It’s a dog-eat-dog world out there, and I’m wearin’ Milk-Bone underwear.
Somebody could get hurt!
Journalists, lawyers and family members of the victim typically sit in a space directly beside the death chamber to watch the execution from behind a glass partition. The witnesses should be able to see Sigmon until he’s declared dead, the protocol indicates. After that, a curtain will be drawn and they will be escorted away. But firearms experts who reviewed the official photos of the setup in the death chamber said they don’t believe it’s safe.
“I wouldn’t shoot in that space. I wouldn’t even be in the room,” said Drew Swift, a firearms instructor who owns a firearms training academy in McLean, Va. “It’s just an unnecessary risk.”
A former South Carolina executioner, Craig Baxley, agreed that the death chamber appears poorly designed for an execution by firing squad.
They should beat him to death with their purses.
Do we have any well-dressed rats who can inform us on safe shooting in enclosed spaces?
Checking for more information…
Considering how physically easy and painless putting my dog down was, I don’t understand how we can’t take it one more step to people.
BTW, mentally it was terrible.
“I saw the last firing squad execution… the violent twitching and stench of bleach will haunt me forever: As it happens again 15 years on, a chilling eyewitness account”

“My biggest concern would be my hearing,” he added. “It’s three shots taking place at the same time, which is going to be exponentially louder.”
This just sounds like the Anti-DP folks trying to suppress the new form of eradication.
It’s always a terrible idea assuming that any give n “fact” in the story is true. Some of it is also obvious nonsense like:
That’s not how “exponential” works, but w/e. Yes, hearing damage would be a major concern of mine.
Some things do seem like a terrible idea. .308 at five yards with a brick backstop is a great way of needing new brick.
If (big if) they use the correct armor glass for the witness room, there is little risk to the witnesses. The shooters seem to be at a greater risk not only from meta and brick bits but from bloodborne pathogens at that range.
It would be a much better idea to do this outside with a Hesco backstop. If they have to do this inside, there’s no need for full-power rifle cartridges. .45ACP will work just fine.
Sounds to me like sombody is trying to sabotage the option by making the outcome so horrific that they can rule it cruel and unusual.
Corleone style
It is the anti-death penalty people. This is not the way to go about it.
“It is unpleasant” is not an argument. Of course it is unpleasant. There is no way to make it pleasant. You are killing someone. It is like when my wife used to complain about the placement of the cat box. Look, it is a box of shit in the house. There is no good place to put a box of shit in the house. Moving it here or there does not make it better.
Timeloose is correct. We have a quick, painless method. The only reason I can guess we dont use it is because there is an element of revenge, anger and sadism involved.
Now I guess they are trying “It’s not safe”. No shit? How about get to the root of it: There are people who need killing but Government is not and has never been competent to decide who that is. Even if one person is wrongly executed it is one too many. The death penalty does not allow for any kind of atonement.
Attack the problem at the root.
The awfulness of reality: “But how can we see that the murderer makes atonement?”
You cant. No matter how certain you are that you have the right man the worst a moral society can do is imprison them for life.
Shooting a guy tied to a chair with .308s, in a closet, doesn’t really seem sporting.
.308 at five yards.
The splatter will be extraordinary.
$14k for 3 rifles?
They’re Government Rifles.
$12K of that goes to DEI and LGBT+ activism. $1k goes to other kickbacks, and the rifles cost $300 each.
They should get CMP M1s for $700 each. Or if you don’t need to be that classy, a Ruger American in .308 will go for <$500.
They’re commemorative, so they have to buy a bunch of them.
The shooter signs the stock and the victim’s family gets to take it home.
DOGE would make them get Hi-Points.
The Hi Point 990 was $110*, and it only needs to fire once.
*this was some years ago. It may be more now
Sorry, 995.
My memory mixed up the number.
UCS,
You are the Hi Point of my day.
Love,
Bacon
The 995 is the only gun I’ve fired that made the outside of the cartridge case black.
Look people, the whole thing including the design and cost, was done by Top Men. Why all the doubts?
Imagine the two car funeral that will follow. Also organized by the same Top Men.
I like the twist on this one.
Surprising nobody…
Trump Gives One-Month Tariff Exemption to Big Three Auto Makers
President Trump is granting a one month exemption for the big three U.S. automakers from tariffs he imposed on Mexico and Canada, the White House said Wednesday. “The president is happy to do it,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said.
The request came from the heads of Ford Motor Co., General Motors Co. and Stellantis NV, she said.
How is Stellantis a US automaker and Toyota Motor North America not?
Or Honda America. They just decided on Civic production in the US because of President Tariff.

EVs excluded, I hope.
The request came from the Big 3, but Tesla will benefit too.
Interesting article on Lump. He admits that the stroke changed his outlook.

I like the idea of a free trade agreement between Mexico the US and Canada. Free trade and free flow of money and capital…but that is not what is happening, is it?
So, tariffs it is. Dont like the carrot? You get the stick.
You don’t like the free flow of Fentanyl?
Actually that doesn’t bother me.
The swamp undermines doge and Trump rolls over. Probies aren’t being laid off automatically now.
Interesting Fetterman piece. He sounds mostly sane.
Democrat has stroke. Recovers a sane man.
Imagine that.
“For now, Trump has a spokeswoman who appears to have been designed in a laboratory to provoke maximum distress among a certain breed of progressive.”
Also her husband is 59…
