Lynx?
I am getting too old for work hard, play hard…especially when playing hard one day after working hard on three days tires me out. But, we are not here for the geriatric complaint hour, we are here for links (and comments). So here ye be:
- Unfortunately, my partying was not in Munich.
- You just know the writer was salivating to break out you know who’s name…eventually he got there.
- A shame no one needed to say “throw me the idol, I’ll throw you the whip!”
- Not the most thrilling article, but if you put the term “meat baron” in your lede, I am reading it.
The comments belong to you (note: If you are on other author’s articles, give them a few minutes respect before slapping up other stuff, please).
“Meloni was 15 when she joined the youth wing of the Italian Social Movement (MSI), a far-right outfit created after the war by supporters of the fascist dictator Benito Mussolini. She won her first local election at age 21 and became Italy’s youngest-ever minister a decade later when she was given the youth portfolio in Berlusconi’s 2008 government.”
OK?
Bunga, bunga!
““To the EU I say, ‘The free ride is over’,” she roared on Sunday, vowing to “start defending Italy’s national interests like every other EU member already does”. Away from the rallies, however, she has adopted a more conciliatory tone, pledging fiscal prudence and support for the EU’s sanctions against Russia – in stark contrast with Salvini, who is still struggling to shake off the fallout from his past fawning over Vladimir Putin.”
No mention of Trump, although probably could have squeezed a Hitler in the Mussolini paragraph.
They’ll be retaking Libya and invading Ethiopia before we know what hit us.
“They’ll be retaking Libya”
They can’t do any worse than Obama.
When will they return to Somalia to clean up that mess?
The Brits would have to go along too.
Meh. The US has a party that supported slavery and waged war against the United States.
I thought the far right people were all sexists? What is this electing a person born with a vagina crap?
I though the far right parties in Europe were full of gays and lesbians.
I can’t past all the breathless agitprop to determine if she is actually the dangerous extremist they seem to be implying.
“Italy comes first” – um… OK. Terrifying.
If you aren’t sacrificing peasants you are some kind of dangerous anti-elitist!
“salivating to break you know who’s name”
In the context of spiffily dressed mid 20th Century autocratic dictators Mussolini wasn’t that bad so I’m not sure a “you know who” is in order. That should be reserved for, uh, you know who.
If not for his alliance with Hitler, he’d really have been little different than an unchecked FDR…well, he’d be polio-free, I guess, too.
“That should be reserved for, uh, you know who.”
Trump?

Matthijs de Ligt of FC Bayern Muenchen and his partner Annekee Molenaar attend the Oktoberfest at Kaefer Wiesenschaenke tent at Theresienwiese on September 18, 2022 in Munich, Germany.
Judging by the background, I think I got a snack at the Käfer tent one time I was at Oktoberfest. The baked goods were… decent. You can find better at the Wiesn.
One happy festival-goer is all smiles after finishing a mug of beer on opening day, Saturday, Sept. 17, 2022.
Standing on a table. Good way to get thrown out.
The last picture was taken in the Hacker-Pschorr tent. I tried getting a seat in there the last time I was at Oktoberfest. Security hadn’t cut off people from entering, but every seat was taken. That saddened because I like Hacker-Pschorr beer. At least I got some pictures of the tent roof.
I attended an Oktoberfest celebration at a local brewery last Saturday. The beer was good. The food and music disappointing. I didn’t stay long.
They sure like gingham.
What’s the stuff topped with fried onions in pic 9?
What’s the stuff topped with fried onions in pic 9?
Hard to tell for sure, but it kinda looks like spaetzle.
Mmmmmmm, spaetzle . . . {insert Homer Simpson drooling sounds here}
I think BEAM is right. I think it is Spaetzle.
Looking closer at the picture, judging by the glasses on the table, I think this is the Augustiner tent. I had lunch there twice. I didn’t have whatever is in the picture, but the food I had was very, very good. The Augustiner tent is popular with the locals.
Oh… Augustinerfesthalle on the wrapped up utensils. OK.
Idk. I got stuck on pic 2.
They sure like gingham.
Yes… though I’ve heard white, sometimes with designs/decorations, (like in pic #20) is more traditional.
I went to the 1995 Oktoberfest with my boss, his wife and several friends. We got in as soon as the gates opened and we stayed in the Spaten tent until closing, taking turns holding the seats and walking around the grounds. The highlight of the day was my boss trying to auction off his wife.
One archaeologist described the 3,300-year-old chamber as like being “on the set of an Indiana Jones movie.” The structure, complete with dozens of intact pottery and bronze artifacts, was found by accident.
Sounds like a Temple of Doom.
I have to admit, I was looking for a large boulder to roll down in one of those pics…
Those Oktoberfest pictures were great. I wonder if they had beer there?
So another “far right” leader wins. I wonder why that’s happening? It’s a mystery.
People keep voting wrong. It’s undemocratic.
I think you meant “a threat to democracy.”
The Italians didn’t study 2020?
No one studied anything.
Far right stongmen are an inevitable response to the stupid lefties going too far.
It would be boring if we weren’t all caught up in it.

No kink shaming.
“Meat Baron” was my nickname in Uni.
In the latest edition of Brandon’s Price Signals, today at the supermarket store-brand deli ham had gone up from $7.09/lb to $7.99/lb, or from 3.99 to 4.49 since the stuff comes in 9-oz. packages.
Bulk-size frozen kernel corn and much of the pasta aisle were also in short supply. Ditto store-brand cookies.
much of the pasta aisle were also in short supply.
I hadn’t been to the grocery store in a few months and couldn’t believe the prices in the pasta aisle. The cheapest non-store brand pasta was $2/box. And most of it was out of stock, like you said.
Dog food is another big one. We had been buying the 55lb bags of Pedigree for something like $23/bag (I think, don’t quote me on this). Now the 55lb bags of Pedigree are out everywhere (gone from Walmart, Costco, and Tractor Supply) and Pedigree only has 20ish lb bags for $18. I found a 50lb bag in a decent high-protein substitute brand for $27/bag.
We picked the wrong time to add two Great Pyrenees pups to our 3 GSD household. The GPs are ~4 months old and already almost as big as the smallest GSD. I think we’ll end up going through 100 lbs of dog food each week when they are full grown.
Good lord.

Abe Froman agrees.
I’m seeing a tsunami of headlines about this.
A 7.6-magnitude earthquake shook the Pacific coast of central Mexico Monday, killing at least one person, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
The quake hit around 11:05 a.m. at a depth of about nine miles, according to the USGS, which initially put the magnitude at 7.5. The quake was centered about 23 miles southeast of Aquila near the boundary of Colima and Michoacán states.
The shaking set off an earthquake alarm in the capital. Alarms for the new quake came less than an hour after a quake alarms warbled in a nationwide earthquake simulation marking major quakes that struck on the same date in 1985 and 2017.
No fair! Silly is our ground state.
Hat trick!
“Why Can’t the Left Take the W?
The month of August saw two historic but partial victories for the American left.
First, President Biden signed into law the most significant climate legislation in U.S. history…
A week later, Biden announced $10,000 in student debt relief for low- and middle-income borrowers — and up to $20,000 for Pell grantees…
Neither of these two wins was possible without many years of activist organizing. And both fell far short of the left’s highest aims. As a result, they were greeted by leftists with a febrile mix of dejection and relief. “This should be, this must be, the worst climate bill that has ever passed … in terms of comparing it to future climate bills,” said David Sirota, a former Bernie Sanders campaign senior advisor. “Because if it’s not. If this is the best it gets, we are really, truly, ecologically screwed.”
https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2022/09/why-cant-the-left-take-the-w.html
That’s because it’s all about power. Climate change has nothing to do with solving an ecological problem. Student debt relief is about buying votes. The people you are supporting couldn’t care less if the activists get what they think they want. They’re just useful idiots.
Climate bill? I don’t remember a climate bill.
Inflation. Climate. What difference does it make?
IT IS AN INFLATION REDUCTION BILL
*checks grocery prices*
Didn’t work.
The Inflation Creation and Climate Graft Act of 2022
Every bill with spending creates inflation and graft.
Even some without.
Because it is never, ever over for them. Their entire worldview depends on constant change! (and hope!).
What is funny is Biden claimed the student debt relief was legal because there was an emergency (COVID). He recently said COVID wasn’t a pandemic anymore — so no emergency.
The Make John Podesta Super Rich Bill. Corrupt thugs.
Please keep pushing this.
We are requesting that the Department of Justice open an investigation to hold DeSantis & others accountable for these inhumane acts. Not only is it morally criminal, there are legal implications around fraud, kidnapping, deprivation of liberty, and human trafficking.
I have spoken with our US Attorney Rachel Rollins and am grateful to hear she is pushing for a response from the DOJ.

I’ve only been to Oktoberfest in Munich twice. I was in Munich one other time, which wasn’t during Oktoberfest.
A Trump/Elder or Elder/DeSantis ticket would be fun.
Conservative radio host and author Larry Elder said he’s considering a run for president in 2024 — even if former President Trump announces another bid.
Elder, a former California gubernatorial candidate, told Iowa’s Des Moines Register that if he chooses to seek the Republican nomination in 2024, he doesn’t “feel” like he’d be running against Trump, who has repeatedly floated a White House comeback.
“I’m running for president. And I’m not running against anybody on the Republican side,” Elder told the newspaper. “I’m running against Joe Biden if he runs, or Kamala Harris if she runs.”
I’ve been reading too much SugarFree
I mentally filled in “Trump/Elder or Elder/DeSantis” as “Trump/Elder God or Elder God/DeSantis”
“New Yorkers deserve to know who exactly was involved in Xerox Zeldin’s election fraud scandal.”
I have a feeling Hochul’s campaign is going to receive a Cease and Desist letter from Xerox about that, both for trademark dilution (using the company name instead of ‘photocopy’) and for dragging the company’s name into a campaign.
I can celebrate nothing German. What they did to The Firsters was the greatest of all evils.
Bravo.
You win.
I don’t think that Slow-mo Joe knows what inflation is.
“Mr. President,” CBS correspondent Scott Pelley began, “as you know, last Tuesday, the annual inflation rate came in at 8.3%. The stock market nosedived. People are shocked by their grocery bills. What can you do better and faster?”
“Well, first of all, let’s put this in perspective,” Biden said, “Inflation rate month to month is up just an inch—hardly at all.”
Apparently, Biden thinks 8.3% is actually good news.
Pelley, to his credit, seemed a bit surprised by Biden’s lame talking point. “You’re not arguing that 8.3 [percent] is good news?”
“No, I’m not saying it is good news, but it was 8.2 or 8.2 [percent] before,” Biden replied, clearly irritated. “I mean… you’re making, make it sound like, all of a sudden, my God, it went to 8.2%.”
“It’s been the highest inflation rate, Mr.President, in 40 years,” Pelley pointed out.
“I got that!” snapped Biden. “But guess what we are? We’re in a position where for the last several months, it hasn’t spiked. It is just barely it’s been basically even.”
It got really high and stayed there. See? It’s fine.
The number isn’t going up. When the number goes up, it’s bad. /Joe’s handler
That’s actually breathtaking.
Stongman a comin’.
You’re broke.
Yes, but I’m not getting any broker so what’s the problem?
Happy this work day is almost over. I have a case of dragon ass today. I’m at the tail end of a cold/sinus/covid(?) thingy, and had a rough night of sleep because right before bed we had an unpleasant call with our middle daughter, who’s having a hard time being an adult lately.
Sorry dude. Crash extra early tonight and remember that the little fuckers eventually figure it out.
I sure hope so.
It pales in comparison to Oktoberfest in Munich, but I’m going to the Virginia state fair Saturday. I wonder if the LP booth will be there this year.

Can anyone explain to me what the fuck Ezra Miller is supposed to be? Some part of me wants to think he’s a cynical asshole exploiting proggie trends to behave like an asshole, but he seems…sincere in calling himself “they/them” and he is supposedly queer but surrounds himself with a harem of young women (some of whom are, admittedly, not particularly attractive). What the hell is he?
No clue.
But I have something better.
Still makes me chuckle:
https://twitter.com/betterthanezra/status/1437891309868658690
Ded.
RIP genius man.
I remember seeing that one on live TV!
ISTR that the band’s name was literally because they wanted to be ‘Ezra’ but there was already a band called ‘Ezra’ in their town.
Too good to fact-check.
Yes, I’m treating that one as 100% true.
I think I heard they didn’t have a band name but entered a “battle of the bands” contest. The band just before them was named Ezra, and of course the MC then asked for THEIR band’s name.
Can’t confirm if true, but I hope it is!
Even better.
They were a great live band as well.
I have this urge to shut off the radio, shower, dress, and go work for an insurance company.
Seemed like this was my eternal wake-up song until 2000 or so.
I think “mentally ill” covers it.
I think it’s more “narcissist”. He’s probably banging stablefuls of chicks but in the bubble he lives in, you don’t thrive by being that boring.
Mentally ill covers that
So has the meaning of queer changed?
They is a lesbian with a dick?
That’s no longer a joke.
Queer means “politically active homosexual” – he doesn’t strike me as that.
Yet that is what he calls himself. But none of the words used ten years ago have the same meanings, to me, in the new proggie worldview. The fact that he is supposedly “queer” was used by the pudgy little Native American activist girl he is accused of “grooming” when his bandmate accused him of yelling at her for wearing make-up.
I went and enacted some of my own labor. When it comes to who he fucks, he gets vague and says that there are people he loves of all genders. Which could be viewed as dodging the question or saying he’ll fuck anything. Which fits with the narcissistic interpretation of him.
I like to think he knows its all bullshit, but its fun for him to make the media and corporate executives at WB call him it/they/them when addressing him. He’s a straight white guy who paints his nails once in a while and has a harem who likes to get fucked up and act like a douchebag.
Agreed. He’s being “edgy” by making you enact that labor.
Next I need someone to explain to me how a pansexual is different than a bisexual.
Bisexual – I’m fashionable and still picky.
Pansexual – I’ll fuck anything that moves.
I bought some new brown liquor for the first time in months.

California Governor Gavin Newsom is “undeniably, unequivocally” planning to run for president in 2024 if President Biden chooses not to seek a second term, two individuals with knowledge of Newsom’s plans told TheWrap.
“After this midterm election is over, he absolutely is going to announce that he is running for the presidency once Biden announces that he is not running,” a leading California fundraiser with close ties to the Newsom family told TheWrap. “No ifs, ands or buts. He will run if Biden does not.”
Gavin Nuisance v. Ron DeSavage Will be fun.
LET’S GET READY TO RUMBLE!
Here is a pic of Newsome on election night.
Our betters have no intention of stopping the war in Ukraine.
https://mate.substack.com/p/nato-prolongs-the-ukraine-proxy-war
In fact, they appear willing to sacrifice us almost as much as the European governments are willing to sacrifice their own populations.
The Ukrainian military’s routing of Russian forces from Kharkiv, which relied extensively on US planning, weaponry and intelligence, has sparked triumphant declarations that the tide has turned.
Russia is going to take the kid gloves off eventually. And that won’t be pretty. NATO involvement in a non-NATO conflict needs to end now. It never should have started.
According to The Atlantic’s Anne Applebaum, “Americans and Europeans need to prepare for a Ukrainian victory,” one so overwhelming that it may well bring “about the end of Putin’s regime.”
Sure…
“I like the structural path we’re on here,” Republican Senator Lindsey Graham recently declared. “As long as we help Ukraine with the weapons they need and the economic support, they will fight to the last person.”
Christ, what a warmongering cunte.
The US “strategic objective” in Ukraine, Sullivan explained, is to “ensure that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine… is a strategic failure for Putin,” and that “Russia pay a longer-term price in terms of the elements of its national power.” This would teach a “lesson,” he added, “to would-be aggressors elsewhere.”
Because there are no other wars/conflicts in the world right now…or ever… as if war is not the unfortunate state of man…
We are the world’s biggest aggressor, and eventually somebody is going to teach us a lesson that we won’t forget in a couple of months.
True. Also this:
which relied extensively on US planning, weaponry and intelligence
When does this involvement become a literal act of war against Russia?
It already is, as are the sanctions.
We are closer to the precipice than we have ever been and nobody seems to give a shit.
The graft must be spectacular.
There are times when I wish I could still call myself/(be) a Christian, merely so I could believe there was a place in hell reserved for the absolute worst of humanity.
Also, a place in heaven for the best. They don’t show up in the news as much, but they’re out there.
“They’ll fight to the last conscripted old man and child.”
Putin, Putin, Putin. It’s like hearing Orange Man Bad all over again. Putin is not Pollyanna, but he seems like somewhat of a moderate compared to some of the Russian leaders. Perhaps the war could be discussed in terms of Russia’s versus Ukraine’s strategic interests rather than making it a Putin thing. We’ll never hear a rational discussion from the MSM or Western governments on it though.
From WW2 to Vietnam, discussions of war became increasingly more retarded. You cannot discuss them in terms of things such national interests, even if that’s what they are really about because doing so is icky. It’s why all American wars have to be sold to the public as great moral crusades against the most despicable of all enemies who themselves have no real reason or agency beyond being evil. So Saddam had WMD’s and…and…he was apparently such a madman that he was going to risk everything and actually use them just to be nefarious like some James Bond villain! Give them to terrorists her would, just out of hate for America! The war was never really just about the warped fantasies of neocons who had wanted to engage in nation building in the region or because Iraq had been a thorn in our side for a while. The Gulf War was as close to a mature debate on war as we’ve had since probably Korea, and even then we were still the moral good guys defending the little nation-state of Kuwait from the big bully (who we built up in the first place).
Putin behaves like a 19th century European statesman, frankly. He has a conservative world outlook, which is pretty well suited to the country he leads…hence why he continues to lead it for so long and remain pretty damn popular with his people.
That’s a good point about hiding the national interests of war behind being moral crusades.
And Putin is in charge of a country with an economy the size of Spain.
Putin is a moderate in the Kremlin, as is Lavrov.
Medvedev is most assuredly not a moderate, although part of that persona may be to provide political cover on Putin’s right. But my guess is if something happens to Vlad, the situation will spiral quickly.
If having investigative reporters killed, former backers killed, opposition leaders jailed or killed and waging war on neighboring countries, trying to retrieve a vanished empire is “moderate”…
“In the Kremlin”
And quickly turning into a moderate position here in the US as well.
But all the right people hate him so he must be doing something right.
Moderate isn’t synonymous “good guy”.
Putin’s death count pales in comparison to our own “moderates” in DC. Perhaps the MSM should investigate Seth Rice’s murder with a fraction of the energy they spend covering journalist deaths attributed to Russia. Or the American political prisoners jailed in solitary confinement without access to lawyers and beaten by guards. How many enslaved Ukrainians has Lindsay Graham thrown into the Russian artillery to launder that 40 billion stolen from his own citizens?
Putin is a piker compared to the DC class.
Hello.
Yup. A former KGB Colonel given absolute power is a piker compared to VICTORIA NULAND….ARGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
\Get a wee bit of perspective – our assholes are bad, but a fucking murderous war waging despot of 2 decades, who kills domestic impediments is worse – Hillary Clinton jokes aside.
Spiral in a good way? Or….
No. Medvedev would be worse, possibly much worse.
If you read Putin’s speeches, three things are apparent and consistent.
1: Our political class is idiotic by comparison, but that’s damning by faint praise.
2. He wants security for the Russian state. Period, non-negotiable, and he does not trust the West or NATO. He’s specifically mentioned Z Brzezinski as the godfather of current Western policy towards Russia, and Brzezinski hated Russia, perhaps pathologically so. His proposal on how to divvy up Russia obviously rankled the Kremlin. Zbigniew’s son is also the US ambassador to Poland.
3. He wants to trade. He’s made claims that Russia has not halted the gas shipments to the EU. It’s the EU that has stopped taking them. He’s at least partially correct on that count. Russia won’t sell under strict Western terms (like price caps on oil), but the EU has effectively sabotaged all of the existing arrangements, to the point of withholding repair parts for NordStream 1.

Wow. A man borrowed $75,000 for leg-lengthening surgery to make him 3 inches taller, report says.
And it’s not like he was under 5 feet tall before.

It ain’t pretty and it hurts like a son of a bitch.

That dude was taller than me before he started; I doubt you thought I was freakishly short when we met.
This is hardly some unbearable height.
His height isn’t the source of his problems.
You were not. I think you are taller than my grandpa and he never had any problem being noticed.
Yeah, I posted a different article. I’m 5’7″ and while I know that keeps me out of the executive board and the Oval Office, it has its other advantages.
I dated a guy my own height; I didn’t mind it.
Amusingly, I would have not passed my now-wife’s filters on OK Cupid, back in the day (we were both on at the same time).
– too old, which is a fair cop.
– too short, which is ridiculous, since I’m 4+ inches taller than her. I’m still taller than her when she’s in heels (which she rarely wears).

I have never heard that there was an early outbreak in Iran alongside that of Wuhan. What is the source for that?
When it comes to this, both America and China have their money influencing all of these academics on everything from global warming to this. China owns a shit ton of western researchers here stateside and in Europe. My first thought when I heard the famous Brit make the accusation was that he was probably being paid/bribed/blackmailed in someway to do so. It could even be garden variety anti-American sentiment common in the upper echelons of the European elite.
I don’t know. It’s a new twist on it for me as well.
I have no doubt that it came from a lab, and I have no doubt that we funded the research and provided the expertise.
I am also fairly certain that the virus predates Wuhan by a year or two.
Beyond that, I don’t know and probably never will.
I did, however, stumble across some very strong circumstantial evidence that the US military created Lyme disease on Plum Island.
And/or the Chinese stole it from us.
