New Years Eve, goodbye and good effing riddance Links.

I think I’ll stay in, thank you.

I was thinking of how I could end this year on a high note, but I cannot. Other than the continued support of friends and family, buying a part time home in NY, and my loyal pup, there is nothing positive I can point to in 2022. I lost my wife way too prematurely, and two months later I lost a sister. And our country has become a load of shit.

One high note I will mention, is the love and support that has been sent my way by the Glibs community. You are good people. Never change.

 

Links?

 

Moscow Idaho is a sleepy little college town that has been rocked by tragedy. I’m glad they caught this fucker and I hope he enjoys Idahos death row.

 

Commie Pope doesn’t have to worry about this guy looking over his shoulder anymore.

 

You know how many fucks I have to give? Zero.

 

Overachiever cuts both ways.

 

Anybody can collect deer antlers.

 

“Uh, whoops! Happy New Year!”

 

I think the QUILTBAG community needs to do some self policing.

 

Okay, I’m out. I’m under no illusion that everything will be different when I wake up tomorrow, but at least it won’t be 2022. Peace out Glibs and pray for a better 2023.

    A seconder who impersonates a Firster is to have their eyes put out. So it be told.

      You would first on a post with a Green Day music link.

  2. hayeksplosives

    You said it, Spud. 2022 was rough, and it was friends and family support that got us all through it. Sometimes we are the support and sometimes we are the supportees.

    Say, isn’t the ZARDOS movie set in 2023?

    • Chafed

      It would be apropos.

    Sorry to hear about all the tragedy for you this year, I didn’t know any of that. Those “other thans” aren’t nothing though. Maybe not enough to hang your hat on, but something at least. 2022 certainly wasn’t a banner year for me either – here’s hoping all of us have a better 2023.

    Imagine being down to your last $137 billion. What a fucking chump, amirite?

    • juris imprudent

      But with govt we can piss away 10x that much with no effort at all! Yay govt!

    • Fourscore

      Elon should have listened to me, I’m only down 20%

      Yesterday a friend told me he’d sold some investment stuff and bought bonds paying 5.5%. I told him inflation is 8% and he’ll be paying tax on his 5.5 % income.

      I know he did better than I this past year but when a safe investment is costing you money we’re in an upside world.

  5. Mojeaux

    2022 was … interesting. Lots of drama, which really started years ago and stopped abruptly on September 8. Things have been utterly boring and without drama ever since. I don’t foresee much drama for 2023, barring getting a job as a medical coder and whatever drama that brings.

    Boring is good. Boring is underrated.

  6. Pat

    Commie Pope doesn’t have to worry about this guy looking over his shoulder anymore.

    Brendan O’Neill put up an interesting piece on Benedict. To the extent I care about the papacy, I was never especially fond of the guy, but apparently he was right about at least some things.

    • Sensei

      He was Catholic. Something I’m not as sure about with the current Pope.

  7. Brochettaward

    I’m guessing Sloopy has run out of clean pants by now watching Michigan get abused.

    • Brochettaward

      Now he’s just stuck lying there in his own wetness. And OSU hasn’t even played yet.

      • The Gunslinger

        It ain’t over yet.

        And now???

      • Grosspatzer

        Great Sunset. Is there a football game?

        Now. Now it’s over.

        Harbaugh keeps his bowl streak alive. Losing 6 in a row and counting. Uffda.

      • juris imprudent

        That’s half of the Big-Can’t-Count conference out, now for THE other half.

      • Chafed

        I wonder which NFL team will lure him away.

    • Brochettaward

      It took Harbaugh three fucking quarters to realize he needed to space things out more to run the ball.

        so Georgia by 10

        How many officials were in the field? That’s how many we got beat by.

  8. The Late P Brooks

    The last three years have been weird, to say the least. I’m not sure what to think about the future..

    I’ll just try to continue keeping my head down, I guess.

  9. The Late P Brooks

    We’ve cleared the solstice, though. Every little bit helps.

    • MikeS

      Days are getting longer! (barely)

      • KSuellington

        About 31 seconds more daylight each day from now till summer solstice.

      • MikeS

        It’s not linear though, right? I think at one point they get longer by multiple minutes each day?

      • juris imprudent

        Ellipses man, how do they fucking work?

      • MikeS

        Yeah, wow. Sorry. I guess I spend my brain power of things that actually mater in my life (usually).

      • MikeS

        Which apparently doesn’t include spelling.

      • juris imprudent

        That wasn’t a dig at you, more a riff on magnets. Have a drink on me!

      • Ted S.

        They’re just three dots.

      • KSuellington

        Ah yeah, I guess you’re correct. It can go up to minutes more per day.

      • Animal

        At one point in each year we are gaining/losing an hour of daylight every ten days.

      • Fourscore

        Still though, it’s nice to start gaining some of our lost daylight back. I count Jan 15th as the 1/2 way point of winter.

        /Lib Arts calculation, no science

      • Chafed

        Works for me.

  10. MikeS

    On topic repost:

    I just made this thing.

    If you had a good 2022, here’s hoping things get even better for you in 2023. 🍻

    If you had a shit 2022, you weren’t alone. Chin up. Let’s make 2023 our bitch. πŸ†πŸ’¦πŸ»

    • Pat

      I like that

    • Mojeaux

      Hey, that’s neat!

      My dad got into weld art before he died. He wasn’t the one doing the welding. He’d draw up the plans and choose the metal and take it a welder. My brother actually did take welding classes. I don’t know what he actually made or if it was just so he could do work on his hobby farm.

      • MikeS

        What kind of stuff did your dad design? Do you have any of it?

      • Mojeaux

        I have no pictures, and my mom wasn’t a fan. When she sold the house after he died, the art stayed with the house, but likely not for long. Just abstract stuff, which was funny because he was constantly bagging on abstract art. I guess it was okay when he was making it.

    • Chafed

      Lol. Steel Panther is proud of you.

      And I like the way you think.

    • Lackadaisical

      Very nice. I’m impressed.

  11. The Late P Brooks

    Musk, 51, has seen his wealth plummet to $137 billion after Tesla shares tumbled in recent weeks, including an 11% drop on Tuesday, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. His fortune peaked at $340 billion on Nov. 4, 2021, and he remained the world’s richest person until he was overtaken this month by Bernard Arnault, the French tycoon behind luxury-goods powerhouse LVMH.

    Think of all the taxes he got out of paying by losing that money.

    That’s why we need a wealth tax.

  12. Suthenboy

    We still have that doddering dunce in the White House. Everyone knows that someone is pulling his strings but no one seems willing to say who that is.

    • MikeS

      I used to think that if we ever learned who was truly in charge that we’d recognize the names. But more and more I wonder if it’s more likely some semi-anonymous monsters, most of which nobody but the elites have ever heard of.

    • Chafed

      That’s Dr. Who It Is to you.

  13. Yusef drives a Kia

    2023 will be very different for me, HH was nice but the rest of 22 kinda sucked.
    Peace out and
    Tall Cans!

  14. Timeloose

    Fuck 2022. I felt similar about 2020.

    • rhywun

      2020 was the worst year of my life so it’s only been getting “better” since then.

      • Yusef drives a Kia

        Agreed,2020 was horrible,
        Cheers!

      • rhywun

      For personal reasons that I’ll likely never get drunk enough to discuss here, 1996 and 2013 were absolute hell on Earth for me. Even in spite of that, I try to find reasons to be happy and grateful.

      Not trying to be a Pollyanna, but 2022 was great and 2023 will be even better!

      • Chafed

        From your lips to G-d’s ears.

      • Lackadaisical

        Amen.

  15. The Late P Brooks

    It’s not linear though, right? I think at one point they get longer by multiple minutes each day?

    Yeah, I think it’s a curve, and not a straight line.

    *rate of change in daylight hours

    • kinnath

      Sinusoidal.

      • kinnath

        Slowest changes at the solstices. Fastest changes at the equinoxes.

      • Yusef drives a Kia

        What are the above for those meads you gave me Sir?
        Asking for a friend😏

      • Yusef drives a Kia

        Abv.

      • kinnath

        ABV? Wine strength. 12% ABV or so.

      • KSuellington

        I’d never given it much thought but that makes sense. The wife and I were talking a few nights back about how it’s nice that daylight will be increasing and I looked it up and it was 31 seconds morel light. I knew the difference would obviously change at latitudes but didn’t consider the movement from equinox to solstice.

  16. robodruid

    Well 2022 was awful, not to confident about ’23.

  17. rhywun

    I think the QUILTBAG community needs to do some self policing.

    Maybe I’m missing something but from my reading it doesn’t seem that QUILTBAG had anything to do with the crime despite the desperate attempts by the author to shoehorn it in a dozen times.

    • MikeS

      I think his point was that early reports were calling it an anti-gay hate crime, and it turns out the perp is gay, or at least bi.

      • Chafed

        Exactly. Even under the current rules two lesbians being murdered by a gay man doesn’t constitute a hate crime.

    • Suthenboy

      There is a shit-ton of personality disorders and mental illness out there. Make of that what you will.

        Agreed.

        Occam’s Razor doesn’t require nefarious multi-decade WEF-driven efforts to purposely depopulate the planet; all it requires is the oldest, tritest, most banal motive of all: money. Big Pharma and the captured Regulatory State saw an opportunity to make zillions by forcing people to take a something that is shielded from liability. This isn’t to say that these things aren’t happening; I’m sure they are, I just don’t think it was intentional. They rushed an experimental medicine out the door that happens to cause horrific side-effects, but acknowledging those side-effects would end their cash cow so better to deny, gaslight and accuse any dissenting voice of being a conspiracy nut. It’s not like they want all these people to die, it’s just that they care more about the money.

    This was in question?

    A U.S. appeals court on Thursday revived a Washington middle school teacher’s claim that a principal violated his free-speech rights by threatening discipline if he continued wearing a “Make America Great Again” (MAGA) hat to training sessions.

    A three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said there was no evidence that the teacher, Eric Dodge, had caused any actual disruption by bringing the hat supporting former President Donald Trump to teacher-only trainings at his Vancouver, Washington, school.

    The red baseball cap with white lettering became a ubiquitous and divisive symbol of Trump’s 2016 campaign and his presidency. Dodge says the principal, Caroline Garrett, called him a racist and homophobe and told him he would need a union representative if he wore the hat to school again.

    The 9th Circuit, reversing a federal judge, said wearing the hat was speech protected by the U.S. Constitution and evidence that some faculty members were offended was not enough to override Dodge’s free-speech rights.

    Only because you media cuntes lie about the symbol.

    • MikeS

      The 9th, no less. Not that anyone on the left will learn from this.

    • rhywun

      It is a good sign that the country hasn’t gone full authoritarian yet. It is troubling that a federal judge wants otherwise.

    • Gustave Lytton

      What fucking assholes the whole way around. Fire everyone involved.

      • Lackadaisical

        Meh, the teacher had balls to wear the cap, and at this point, fuck all libtards.

      • Gustave Lytton

        Yeah, to work as a teacher. As unprofessional as the rest of public sector parasites in the story. Fuck him too.

    A new version of omicron has taken hold in the U.S., according to the most recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The subvariant of omicron, named XBB.1.5, has raised concerns about another potential wave of Covid cases following the busy holiday travel season.

    The CDC projected Friday that about 40% of confirmed U.S. Covid cases are caused by the XBB.1.5 strain, up from 20% a week ago. In the Northeast, about 75% of confirmed cases are reported to be XBB.1.5.

    Oh, that’s nice. Now go fuck yourself.

    • Chafed

      I literally don’t care. There is always going to be a new variant. Live with it.

    Last year, I offered the Glibs a chance to see the spectacular. A death-defying stunt never before done in the history of Firsting. I was going to First in the New Years. Certain Glibs, who shall remain nameless, made me rescind my offer with their catty bitchiness.

    I may pull this stunt tonight even though I still need a great deal of strength to wage my war against the anti-Bro.

    You might as well also do a ceremonial vote on the PPACA.

    β€œThen, on the very first day, the first thing we’re going to do is repeal the 87,000 IRS agents,” McCarthy continued. β€œAnother reason why the Democrats are mad at me, I think – government should be here to help you, not to go after you, then we’re going to secure our border. You’ve got to secure this border, the millions of people coming across, the fentanyl that’s killing our children. We need to work on our economy. That means making us energy-independent. We need to hold this government accountable. Where’s the origin of COVID began? Find out what this Biden family had done in the process. Make sure the FBI is not going after Americans but actually going after crime. We’ve got so much work behind us, and we need to start on the very first day.”

    Last year on NYE, I edited a medical report. Somewhere that shall not be named, some poor 25yo John Doe bastard with likely way too much to drink, set off fireworks somewhere in the vicitinity of his crotch. He degloved his penis and otherwise destroyed his pelvis and bodily regions farther north and south. He died a couple of days later.

        Sad about me efforts to keep you out now.

        Worried that I couldn’t keep you out after all

      • Mojeaux

        To protect ME or to protect YOU?

    • Mojeaux

      That wasn’t at all horrible. Nope. Not at all.

      Many years ago when I was riding a school bus, the bus driver stopped – lights flashing — to let some students off on a city street. The door opened and a student got ready to step out into the street. Suddenly, a car zoomed by the bus on the right. Right past the open door with a student ready to step out.

      We got the license plate and the driver was caught. Some of the other students got to testify in his trial. I think the driver went to jail.

      • groat scotum

        Who is this guy?

        His name is Haywood Jablome.

    Home from thee restaurant, suit back on the hanger and parked on the couch.

    Big take-away from tonight: I should drink more calvados.

    • KSuellington

      Right on slum, happy entry to 23. Calvados is indeed a fantastic drink. A Dutch buddy got me into it when I lived there and I used to sit at a beautiful old bar with massive windows overlooking the Tropical Museum and enjoy a glass. It’s hard to find outside of BevMo and speciality liquor stores, but it really is some tasty stuff.

    • Name's BEAM. James BEAM.

      Calvados rules!

      I bring mine back from a couple of producers in Normandy, β€˜cause the stuff available in Alberta is sludge.

    Somebody is going to need to check on Sloopy. The OSU-Georgia game is going down to the wire. OSU down by a point with very little remaining.

    • Brochettaward

      Story of the games to me – both top ranked teams came in looking to do what they do, and struggled. Georgia survived with a lot of injury luck helping out.

      Also, any NFL owner who hires Harbaugh is just asking for heartbreak.

    Well, the B1G kept it closer than I thought they would’ve, but they once again showed they don’t belong. Maybe ‘Bama had a good argument for getting into the CFP.

    NIL and the transfer portal is really going to bugger up the college game, though. Just wait until some Silicon Valley type who can’t buy a Premier League team decides to pay every 5-star in the country a zillion dollars to play for Stanford.

    • Brochettaward

      Alabama coeds are way more attractive than the ones at Stanford. Things will be fine.

    Cyberpunk 2077 was the worst game of the decade. Without a doubt. It can’t be helped. Horseshit gameplay, lazy writing, just awful all around.

      • groat scotum

        I get the disappointment, it’s real. It’s worthy. You should be pissed about how awful this game is. THEY CHARGED FULL FREIGHT FOR THIS STUPID GODDAMN GAME

    • Ownbestenemy

      Thats quite the claim.

      • groat scotum

        I love the story. I want more of the story. I’m obsessed with the story.

  52. Shpip

    I’m staying at The Cloister right now. Given its location and the timing of today’s Peach Bowl, I wasn’t sure which was louder — the hollering and cheering from the ballroom and lobby beneath our room as OSU’s kicker duck-hooked his kick, or the fireworks that started at the stroke of midnight just a few seconds later.

    I’d think about going downstairs and getting a few smooches from drunk UGA almunae when their husbands or dads weren’t looking, but I think I’ll have a cigar on my balcony instead.

    • slumbrew

      Mrs Shpip approves of your choices, no doubt . Tempting, tho…

      • Shpip

        The cigar is the far safer choice.

        On the other hand, one of the bartenders turned her on to Manhattans (her tipple of choice) made with High West A Midwinter Night’s Dram. I haven’t the heart to tell her that the goddamn things are $35 a pop. Maybe the sweet embrace of being shot by a jealous husband will spare me the credit card bill in a few weeks.

      • MikeS

        I kicked myself for not buying a bottle of that when I had the chance.

      • slumbrew

        Yow, $35 Manhattans are a bit much, even for me.

        Is that High West that good? I dig their Double Rye.

      • MikeS

        Their Rendezvous Rye is very good. I’ve read very good things about the Midwinter’s Night Dram.

      • slumbrew

        Oh, yeah, Rendezvousis good. Campfire is a little weird, but good too.

      • Shpip

        Is that High West that good? I dig their Double Rye.

        Darnedest thing is that High West is MGP whiskey, but what they do with it after it arrives in Utah is astonishing.

        All the High West is good, but the Midwinter Night has become one of those Holy Grail whiskeys, tightly allocated with a price to match.
