    Keep watch for the monkeys! People always try to put them down. If you find them, put them in a barrel, I heard that’s fun!

  2. blackjack

    I didn’t catch the art piece’s name. Was it ” bottom of the dumpster at the paint store?”

    • Dr. Fronkensteen

      It was called “Fighting White Oppression by ignoring competence.”

      • rhywun

        Alternate title: “Trolling the dopey elites”.

        That’s truth in advertising.

        Just to let you know NFT’s are usually for intangible, and therefore easily replicated, digital “assets”. An NFT in and of itself does not confer copyright. NFT’s are basically self-referential. The NFT confers ownership of itself, then points to a computer file (eg. jpg, video, etc.) off the blockchain as being authentic. Therefore, it’s non-fungible because it can’t be split into smaller parts. As far as I know, that the owner or creator of the computer file won’t create another NFT for the same thing is pretty much a pinky swear at this point.

        Although, again as far as I know, anyone can mint an NFT of anything, including non-transferable or physical assets. I think some guy on reddit made an non-fungible token of his balls.

      • mexican sharpshooter

        But I’m already getting ready to shit on a canvas and set up an NFT?

        Damnit.

      • Count Potato

        You still can!

    “20-25 monkeys escape during construction project at German zoo”

    Hollywood’s calling for the movie rights, singing hey baby let’s keep in touch

    • Hank

      Oops, that should be babe not baby.

    • blackjack

      Meh, those monkeys will probably just get jobs doing scat porn. They’re pretty good at throwing shit around.

      • Annoyed Nomad

        They’re pretty good at throwing shit around.

        Or maybe jobs in journalism?

      • Hank

        Give them enough typewriters and enough time…

      • Ask your doctor if BEAM is right for you

        Golf.
        Clap.

      • blackjack

        I heard that, given enough time with a typewriter, they’d do a much better job.

      • Bobarian LMD

        15-30 minutes?

      • Plinker762

        So the monkeys could make big bucks as “professional” graffiti artists?

      • Ask your doctor if BEAM is right for you

        They already do. We call them “teenagers.”

      • blackjack

        If they’re in Germany and it’s scat, yes.

  4. cyto

    I haven’t been around for a while. No special reason, just life.

    I missed you guys. This is the best place on the internet.

    That is all.

    • Old Man With Candy

      TULPA!!!!!!

  5. Nephilium

    The most recent reports I’ve seen still have the Cincinnati monkeys on the loose. Maybe the ‘vid is making them intelligent?

    • blackjack

      Ape shall not kill ape.

    • Dr. Fronkensteen

      Impossible. The vid makes people dumb and paranoid. Why would other primates fare differently?

    • blackjack

      I thought the Cincinatti Monkeys was the new name for the baseball team, since the old name appropriated the name of a popular sedative from the old days?

      • Ted S.

        The Cincinnati ‘Ludes?

      • blackjack

        Read the yellow part.

      • blackjack

        Hah! it’s not yellow in the link. I guess you’ll have to read a ‘lil more of it.

    • Master JaimeRoberto (royal we/us)

      No. It’s just made everyone else stupid.

    • mexican sharpshooter

      Whatever you do don’t shoot them. If I have to live through another Harambe fiasco…

      • Muzzled Woodchipper

        At least I’d have another reason to pull my dick out.

      • Nephilium

        We’re supposed to have reasons now?

    • Scruffy Nerfherder

      “It would erode trust in the judicial system”

      That’s funny coming from a hack like Breyer.

      • blackjack

        He makes second rate ice cream too.

      • Sean

        Back in the day, their black raspberry was my favorite.

        Of course, that’s a lot of years ago.

        They don’t even call it ice cream anymore.

      • juris imprudent

        Carman makes the best black raspberry; no idea of their area of distribution.

    • The Last American Hero

      Like Janice Rogers Brown?

      • rhywun

        It helps to remember that in topsy-turvy world, ascribing liberal Democrat ideology to all females of color is the not-racist option.

  6. Ask your doctor if BEAM is right for you

    From ZeroHedge:

    https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/us-economy-now-run-women

    Here’s a great quote from the article:

    “U.S. states run by women also had less Covid-19 deaths, a new study by the American Psychological Association recently showed.”

    Gretchen Whitmer for the APA on line one.

    • TARDis

      Fuck off APA. Have you figured out what’s wrong with you yet? Keep trying, but leave the rest of us alone.

    • Scruffy Nerfherder

      U.S. states run by women also had less Covid-19 deaths

      I got nuthin’

      This is by far the dumbest observation about COVID I’ve heard yet.

  7. Nephilium

    It’s Saturday, things are still generally locked down, so new traditions continue. Link for the Zoom/Happy Hour/Fed honeytrap, which I’ll kick off at 20:00 Eastern.

    • Master JaimeRoberto (royal we/us)

      I like big boobs, I cannot lie.

    And this isn’t even Florida…

    ‘Five dog tags found in belly of South Carolina monster gator…

    ‘…Two of the tags were legible and one phone number still worked,” Cordray’s revealed in a Facebook post.

    ‘When Cordray staff called the number, the man answering the phone “confirmed he’d lost a hound dog 24 years earlier while hunting leased property near where the alligator was killed,” according to the local CBS station.’

  12. Gustave Lytton

    If anyone dropping in now needs their BP raised, check out cyto’s and scruffy’s last two posts in the dead thread. JFC. It’s right out of a primer for how to crash a civilization. Except that such a primer would be at a much slower speed.

    • westernsloper

      Is it though? What if that shit ends the illusion that to be a productive member of society one needs the right credentials? Granted I am a half wit, but I refuse to believe the smart kids growing up now have to go to a university with a prestiges name to learn something. The entire world is online now. I say save the smart kids the SJW indoctrination and let them excel.

      • blackjack

        I’ve never met anyone with an upper level degree who had a job anybody couldn’t do. My gardeners could do a better job teaching than our teachers, FFS. As far as tranny’s go, I doubt there’s a huge number of people who really want to be in that shit show. Teens rebel, it’s what they do. The cheerleaders are loud, but that can’t really count for much. Maybe I’m just optimistic.

      • creech

        I realize your statement is hyperbole. Just about every MBA I know could do the typical factory or retail or warehouse or clerk job that existed in his/her company, but virtually none of those in said jobs could be an actuary, a tax accountant, a loan application reviewer, a logistics analyst, etc. etc.

      • blackjack

        I am being somewhat hyperbolic, but I still say bullshit. Distill what these people do down to the basics and you could train anyone willing to learn in a matter of a couple of months at worst. Most of these people are faking it in the first place. Think about how much a person really needs to know to accomplish the tasks of any of those positions. It ain’t all that much and it certainly shouldn’t take 6 years or more to learn. If I spent two moths with any of those people, I could do their jobs at a level that at least comes close enough to them. Within a year, I’d match all of them. Emperor, here’s the new clothes. Ever ask yourself what happens when these people are wrong about taxes, business decisions or loan applicants? They’re wrong all the fucking time. Would it really matter if they were wrong because they didn’t use the techniques taught at upper level schools? Doubtful.

      • Grummun

        You are grossly underestimating the mental faculties required to correctly perform most of the job titles Creech listed.

      • blackjack

        OR you guys are grossly overestimating it.

        I work for a company that has a couple of hundred million dollars budget. It’s ran by retards. There just ain’t no underestimating how hard these people’s jobs are. They are dumb as rocks. Every single decision they make is dead nuts wrong. Don’t tell me they the elite. Don’t tell me the people who dreamt up the mortgage schemes 15 years ago are the fucking elites. The amount of actual knowledge they need to fuck up this badly is miniscule. All of this shit has been done, seat of the pants by uneducated and merely smart people for all of history. Most of them did a better job than the highly degreed elite fucks that are ruining everything right now.

      • creech

        Maybe learn a few tasks in a few months, sure. But I’ve had to work some factory jobs twice during strikes and those of us from the office did pretty well…learned to drive the forklift in one day, polished metal parts in two hours, quality control techniques in one week.

      • Ask your doctor if BEAM is right for you

        The degree is still useful for one thing: it’s an entry fee to some places you might want to be.

        And yeah, there’s lots of examples of people who never finished (or even started!) their degrees/diplomas that went on to greatness, but I’m pretty sure there’s a selection bias going on there, and there’s a lot more people who didn’t finish a degree/diploma who wish they had and are now working at McDonald’s.

      • blackjack

        There’s always a huge number of people who end up mopping the floors. The question is, would this given person not make it without the magic sheepskin? Playing the numbers always leaves success for just a few, education or not.

      • Count Potato

        If this kid is some super genius he’s not going to reach his full potential learning online.

      • blackjack

        If he’s a super genius, going to school is a waste of time. He’ll learn what he wants/needs regardless.

      • Count Potato

        Intelligence is no guarantee of success. If he’s going into science or engineering having access to labs, good teachers, working with other students, etc. can make a difference.

      • blackjack

        Intelligence, coupled with desire is the only mandatory element for success. How many of the people who weaseled their way into good schools via connections or other criterion have failed to succeed? Elon Musk has a BA. He dropped out of Stanford to start building his business. That’s what smart people do. I make more than my wife and I owe about 10k in student loans, she owes 120k. ( I don’t really make all that much, but I could if I choose to and so could she, if she had some hustle)

      • Count Potato

        “Intelligence, coupled with desire is the only mandatory element for success.”

        It’s not that simple.

      • blackjack

        Of course not. Those things are mandatory. They’re not guarantees. You can possibly overcome bad luck. You can definitely overcome ignorance. You can’t overcome stupidity or lack of drive.

      • Sean

        Hunter Biden says hi.

      • grrizzly

        The parents of cyto’s nephew should give him a chance to develop his potential. It is not about the credentials. It is about giving him an opportunity. If it cannot be done at MIT or Stanford then consider ETH Zurich or Moscow State University. America might have already descended into the Dark Ages but some other countries are not there yet.

      • Ask your doctor if BEAM is right for you

        Indeed. He could even head to Oxford or Cambridge, Tubingen, the Sorbonne, etc.

        The U.S. definitely ain’t the only game in town when it comes to high-quality, rigorous post-secondary education. I had a chance, back in the day, to go to the London School of Economics before it became polluted by political correctness. I still regret not going.

      • kinnath

        The primary benefit, in my opinion, to be a bright kid at a prestige school is being thrown together with other bright kids.

        It is important to learn that you aren’t the only one and not actually that special.

        However, college is turning into just another indoctrination center.

        I agree with grizzly that going off shore might be a good idea. Surely all those Asian kids that are being rejected by the big schools must have found some place to go.

      • blackjack

        That, and making connections with people who will, inevitably, be running things. I knew a guy who made millions off of a video game and he had zero knowledge of coding or computing in general. He got all of his college buddies to do that part and he just created the concept. They got a salary and he got unlimited millions. He was cool A/F too. It was possible because of the friends he made in college.

      • cyto

        This is the right answer.

        The guys that I used to work with all met in college. They were a bunch of frat brothers. Two of them were super smart the rest were just hangers on. They all got F U money.

        And when the time came? I was ldft standing on the outside with worthless shares in the shell company, along with a half dozen other partners who were not really partners, apparently.

        College connections are huge. All of those big tech giants hooked up at college.a

      Don’t want to say that kid should join the military because that would be a waste – but I bet there are fellowships and internships with DARPA and similar organizations he could apply for – maybe on the nuclear side of things too.

  13. Gustave Lytton

    Put the accessories on the side by side this afternoon and now it’s ready for action. Instructions for the hitch plate say to center it but the weld seams push it slightly to one side according to my eyes, so hopefully it’s good enough. Couldn’t find my wobble extension to use the torque wrench on one of the bolts either. Value for that one is set to “fuck it, close enough, I hope” ft/lbs.

    • Count Potato

      If it’s any consolation a wobble won’t work with a torque wrench because afaik it has to be perpendicular.

      • blackjack

        It’d be close enough. Once there’s pressure, it applies that amount of torque for the most part. It’s when you go with straight offsets that you have to really worry. A couple of degrees of canting, not so much.

      • blackjack

        Besides, most torque specs equal: tight enough to stay tight without being tight enough to break something. Personally, I’d use some loctite and go on the looser end.

      • Don escaped Cancun

        most ferrous torque specs equal 80% of ultimate tensile strength

      • blackjack

        There’s general specs and specific specs. The fastener might like 50-60 ft/lbs in general, but when used on a certain part it shouldn’t exceed 20-30. Of course, most specs are based on clean dry threads. Use some loctite and you can drop them quite a bit, or use some oil and they might want to go up. Generalizing is not usually a good plan. It’s all based on what accomplishes the task. The people who have accomplished the task repeatedly are the best source for the answers.

    • westernsloper

      Hitch plate? Stuff like that gets the tighten as much as possible treatment. Not like it is a valve cover or something.

      • blackjack

        Yes. Torque gets critical with things like heads or covers that might distort. I have seen people over torque brake rotors and warp them, but it’s pretty rare that a vehicle is all that sensitive to it.

    ‘All acts of public worship are currently banned in Ireland under a law imposing one of the strictest COVID-19 lockdowns in the world. The Garda—the Irish police force—has fined Fr. [P. J.] Hughes €500, and he refuses to pay it. He now faces possible imprisonment. A Catholic priest has not been jailed for saying Mass in the country since the worst days of the Penal Laws several hundred years ago, when Britain suppressed the Catholic faith in Ireland….

    ‘Currently, the Irish are living under Level 5 restrictions, which are the most draconian. Yet these restrictions permit food shops, hardware stores, and liquor stores (or “off-licenses,” as the Irish call them) to be open….’

    • blackjack

      When I went to Ireland, the news had stories about things that happened in prison and they described the area within the prison as if everyone should know what they were talking about. It’d be like our media talking about the third row of cells in Tracy prison. I don’t know what the fuck that means, but apparently the Irish do. They have some experience with tyranny that we prolly don’t , just yet.

    • Scruffy Nerfherder

    “Boston hospital set to offer ‘preferential care based on race’

    A Boston hospital says it will offer “preferential care based on race” and “race-explicit interventions” in an attempt to engage in an “antiracist agenda for medicine” based on critical race theory.

    A Boston Review article titled “An Antiracist Agenda for Medicine” lays out a plan from Brigham and Women’s Hospital that implements a “reparations framework” for distributing medical resources in order to “comprehensively confront structural racism.”

    “Offering preferential care based on race or ethnicity may elicit legal challenges from our system of colorblind law … We encourage other institutions to proceed confidently on behalf of equity and racial justice, with backing provided by recent White House executive orders,” the authors explain in a reference to recent executive orders signed by President Joe Biden.”

      Yeah, just skip my healthcare and give it to someone who’s grandparents didn’t get enough back in the 1950’s. Sounds legit.

      This is playing with fire.

      “Offering preferential care based on race or ethnicity may elicit legal challenges from our system of colorblind law”

      And recall that their friends got Webster’s to redefine “colorblind” as something white-supremacisty.

    • kinnath

      elicit legal challenges from our system of colorblind law

      We’ve spent my entire fucking life trying to achieve that colorblind law in accordance with the 14th fucking amendment to the constitution

      As a Person of Pallor, I’m still in the denial phase, the laughing, this-can’t-be-serious phase, like a Jew reading editorials in the early Voelkischer Beobachter and saying, “ha ha, get a load of this silliness, lol!”

      So I’m at the phase where I see these kinds of editorials in the Woke-ischer Beobachter and smirk at them. “Ha ha, how silly, they like to discriminate against whites in the name of anti-racism, that idea will get laughed to death, lol!”

    • Q Continuum

      Here’s the thing: humans are stupid. This is dumbass human shit; just humans behaving like humans.

      Looking over history at how brutal, willfully ignorant, superstitious and generally idiotic humans have repeatedly been, it’s totally unreasonable for anyone to expect anything different. It’s like expecting a cat to do your taxes and constantly being upset that he keeps letting you down. This is not humans failing to live up to their potential, this is humans living exactly up to their potential. There are brief, rare moments in time when individuals exceed being human and become something better, but those individuals are hated and dragged down into the crab bucket. Thus it has always been and thus it will ever be. Humans are too damn stupid to succeed long term.

      TL;DR – Being mad about this kind of stuff is just being mad about humans being themselves.

  22. KSuellington

    Speaking of monkeys and paint tossed on a canvas. In the 70’s there was a journalist in Sweden that wanted to prank the art world which he felt was fawning over “artists” that just threw some paint on a canvas and had critics drooling over it. So he borrowed a chimp from the zoo (this was the 1970’s) and had him make some paintings which he put into an exhibition. He gave the chimp artist the name Pierre Brassau to sound fancy pants enough”. Critics loved it.

    “ Pierre Brassau paints with powerful strokes, but also with clear determination. His brush strokes twist with furious fastidiousness. Pierre is an artist who performs with the delicacy of a ballet dancer.”

        I love a good mash-up.

        I know I posted Girl Talk recently, but I just ran across this video mash up, which is really, really well done

      • slumbrew

        I just had a somewhat meta thought – I’ve seen Girl Talk live (or “live”, anyway) and I’ve seen at least one of those sampled bands live – Space Hog (who opened for God Lives Underwater).

        Now I have to go through the whole list of samples…

      • slumbrew

        Aside from Spacehog, I think it’s just:

        The Rolling Stones
        The Grateful Dead
        Dr. Octagon (a.k.a., Kool Keith)
        Ice Cube

        I might be missing someone that Girl Talk album samples hundreds of songs:

        http://illegal-art.net/allday/samples.html

      • slumbrew

        The Simon & Garfunkel / Lil Jon mash up is pretty great

      • commodious spittoon

        Now I’ve got “illegal-art.net” in my browser history to explain to my wife.

        Listen, baby, do you think the dot net people would allow a website called “illegal art” to exist if it wasn’t something other than what it seemingly obviously alludes to being?

        (By wife I mean the FBI. Also, your search history will be used to stitch together a social media op to destroy your reputation, at least, when they bother going to those lengths and don’t just shoot you and anyone in your family who doesn’t shut up.)

        I don’t know what this Girl Talk is, what am I looking at?

      • commodious spittoon

        I guess I didn’t think of why they’d bother diving into your search history if, on the other hand, they’d just murder you. But that’s bureaucracy, right? The Soviets were sticklers for rules and playing by the book, even if the book is convoluted and nonsensical. Isn’t that why we’ve recovered so much information after glasnost? Because they kept to the records.

        But maybe it doesn’t matter, anyway. Your execution could be recorded in exacting detail, and the details will be diligently archived, and nobody will care, ever, because they’ve succeeded at uncoupling rationality from policy.

      • commodious spittoon

        Something tells me we aren’t going into an era of especially convoluted bureaucratic autocracy… we’re going into purge times, and the rest of the world is going to watch with pleasure the American empire getting gutted from within. Maybe the progressive eugenicists hang for their crimes, probablynot. I don’t know who’d intercede on humanitarian grounds these days.

        I’m not feeling good.

  24. Chipping Pioneer

    A couple of weeks ago I discovered that the tags on the car expired last August. Been driving around since then oblivious. I’ve got the paperwork now pending delivery of the actual tags.

    Cop rolls up behind me this afternoon and pays no attention. Either the cops really aren’t noticing or I’m not in the right demographic where they use expired tags as a reason to pull someone over.

    • Don escaped Cancun

      in MS you would be required to buy tags for the lapsed period and pay property tax on the car for the time untaxed before you could get your new plates . . . which would be around $700 per year for my 20 year old work truck

    • Gustave Lytton

      A lot of places suspended enforcement of tag expiration for the past year I think. Supposedly reinstated here but DMV is appointment only with a backlog (although many transactions can be done by mail or online).

    I am late to the comments party but I’m very happy to report that Mr Splosives called me today from his own cell phone in the hospital and said “I love you. Please come see me. I’m so sorry about your lip” then sobbed.

    He turned a cornier this morning: even though he woke up still in ICU psychosis, restrained and struggling, he suddenly snapped out of it, knew he was in the hospital instead of hell and knew the staffers were people helping and not demons.

    He still has a lot of physical recovery ahead, but prospects for mental normalcy are looking much better.

    If he sleeps tonight and then wakes up OK tomorrow, I know all will be well.
