HUNTER BIDEN INDICTED ON FEDERAL GUN CHARGES: Defense team claim parts of collapsed plea deal are still binding.
FEDERAL JUDGE SMACKS DOWN NEW MEXICO GOVERNOR: On Wednesday, a federal judge blocked New Mexico governor Michelle Lujan Grisham’s temporary ban on the carrying of firearms in areas of the state with high crime rates. This is only a temporary restraining order, but it a good sign. I hope the NM legislature impeaches this woman.

WASHINGTON POST TURNS AGAINST DEAR LEADER: Editorial says Biden shouldn’t run for a second term (link to archived version since original is paywalled). Sounds like the word has gone out; I became aware of this article from the social media feed of a prog acquaintance who for years claimed that Obamaphones were a myth.

Wait, what, just happened? I saw Tonio’s links then they disappeared?
I was changing them right up until publication time but they didn’t show on my feed so I kept moving the publication time up a minute.
OK, it was just weird.
That’s what happens when you reschedule something. I think it was ultimately a browser cache issue on my end that caused me to not see them and keep rescheduling them a minute ahead. Sorry.
No problem 🙂 On my browser, if you hold down the shift key and reload the page, it will flush the cache.
Hey, Tonio, there are a couple small edits I need to make on the piece I just submitted. Is that possible?
All things are possible with enough lube. I reverted your article back to draft so you can make your final edits. Email me when you’re done. Thanks.
STEVE SMITH THINK TONIO VERY GENEROUS.

Technically, aren’t those emissions?
So Tater was peeking while you were changing, hmm?

LOL at “peeking while changing.” Good one.
Well, anyway, good there wasn’t a dumpster fire.
I got faked out a minute ago.
I still say he walks. Maybe a bit of a wrist tickle.
He won’t do time, I’m sure of that.
The question is whether they do a plea deal (again) for a misdemeanor. I’m not even sure what misdemeanors are available for lying to the ATF on a background form.
I think tossing it a public bin is worse than lying on the form.
They’re tying up Hunter so he can’t testify in front of Congress on his daddy’s dealings. It’s not a coincidence this happened just as the House started moving in that direction.
Lots of “taking the fifth” incoming.

a federal judge blocked New Mexico governor Michelle Lujan Grisham’s temporary ban on the carrying of firearms in areas of the state with high crime rates.
Clearly this judge hates children. But didn’t Paula Pot over here also admit that it wouldn’t affect criminals carrying? You know, because they carry illegally anyway.
But think of the message it sent! And the children!
While I’ll enjoy watching Granholm get roasted, they need to take Garland’s scalp as well as some underlings. The bureaucrats need some fear.

“”Since taking office in January of 2021, Secretary Granholm has violated the Hatch Act multiple times,” Tenney remarked during the hearing. “She owned Proterra stock while her boss, President Biden, repeatedly promoted the company. Her husband owned Ford stock while she personally promoted the companies’ work with official resources.”
“And most critically, she lied, under oath, to Congress, claiming that you did not own any individual stocks when in fact she did. If anyone would like to dispute these charges, all the evidence you need is in the articles I submitted into the record,” the New York Republican continued.”
No one reads the articles.
Ah I just put her running tally above. Yours has more context
Good work. Thanks.
“Defense team claim parts of collapsed plea deal are still binding.”
An excellent way to highlight the difference between the nobility and us peasants – I hope they shout this long and loud.
Say what now?
Novel legal theory there
“No take backs!”
“Hunter Biden possessing an unloaded gun for 11 day [sic] was not a threat to public safety, but a prosecutor, with all the power imaginable, bending to political pressure presents a grave threat to our system of justice,” Lowell continued. “We believe these charges are barred by the agreement the prosecutors made with Mr. Biden, the recent rulings by several federal courts that this statute is unconstitutional, and the facts that he did not violate that law, and we plan to demonstrate all of that in court.”
Hilarious pro-2A argument from a Biden’s lawyer.
What is the basis for saying it was unloaded?
That reminds me of the carjacking case I was on where the defendant “definitely wasn’t the guy” but he knew who the real criminal was and that he was “using a fake gun to commit the crime.”
Gotta make sure to avoid that mandatory minimum on the gun charge just in case, you know.
“What is the basis for saying it was unloaded?”
I have no idea, but it’s also not relevant.
There needs to be more gun charges filed against the progeny of prominent anti 2A politicians. we might actually make some progress that way.
IAMDNAL — but nothing should be binding between prosecution and defense until signed off on by an actual judge, imho. You shouldn’t allow crap without some form of third party oversight.
(And yeah, yeah… FISA court level rubber stamping likely ensues… but sometimes judges actually bother to read things, as we saw).
I’m not sure you can categorically say a crackhead with a gun is not a threat to public safety. Especially given the gun safety violations we have on video.
Still binding. Especially the part shielding him from prosecution of any crimes he may have committed in the past, related to this matter or not.
Perhaps a sign he’s running for President after all?
I remain unconvinced that it is not going to be Her Shrillness.

Justice is a dish best served cold.
J6 defendant Kyle Young sits in a medium-security prison in Arkansas where he is serving 86 months for one charge tied to his interaction with DC Metro Police Officer Michael Fanone. Young allegedly grabbed Fanone’s wrist, a three-second grasp that would later be categorized as “assaulting, resisting, or impeding certain officers.” Young’s original indictment carried ten charges. All other charges were dropped when Kyle accepted a plea deal in April 2022—according to Andrea Young, Kyle’s wife, the DOJ’s final sentencing memorandum probably delivered the 7-year sentence.
Young received an enhancement (extra time) because Fanone alleged Kyle inflicted bodily harm and prevented him from reaching his radio when he grabbed his wrist. Fanone alleged Kyle’s actions “cost him his career.” Fanone testified in front of Congress, “The assault on me by Mr. Young cost me my career,” he said. “It cost me my faith in law enforcement and many of the institutions I dedicated two decades of my life to serving.” Fanone was off duty that day but self-deployed to the Capitol anyway for reasons that are still unclear.
Video evidence that has come out since Jan. 6 contradicts Fanone’s version of events. Andrea says, “Fanone has changed his story multiple times.” The investigative video here from M5 News seems to confirm Kyle’s version of his limited interaction with Fanone. In reviewing all the available videos, it does not look as though Kyle caused Fanone bodily harm in any way. Fanone’s body cam footage is still under seal to this day.
Surely, we can trust the government and its enforcers.
Even given Fanone’s description of events, he sounds like a total pussy to me.\
He grabbed his wrist! He could have given him Carpal tunnel syndrome!
Fanone’s body cam footage is still under seal to this day.
All you need to know
Fanone was off duty that day but self-deployed to the Capitol anyway for reasons that are still unclear.
Unclear. Yeah, that’s the ticket!
“Fanone’s body cam footage is still under seal to this day.”
Of course, it is.
I’m pretty sure serial rapists get less hard time. Jesus Christ almighty….
Hunter getting charged with felony gun charges is proof Joe isn’t running again. He will pardon Hunter, and as they’re leaving the White House for the last time they’ll both pause in the door of Marine One, turn, and recreate this pic flashing us birds instead of victory signs.
Nope. He’s running again and will win the presidency.
Yep
On the bright side, he’s just one miscalculated pharmaceutical cocktail away from a massive stroke.
So we have that going for us.
“Women Plus Connect is an opt-in, preference-based feature that works by identifying and prioritizing women and nonbinary riders. If you’re a Lyft driver, you can toggle the feature on or off in the driver preferences section of the app, while riders will see a prompt that says, “Count me in” or “No thanks.” You can also update your profile with your gender selection.”
So this is only for women and enby drivers?
“The safety measures were introduced after hundreds of allegations over assault and sexual assault in rideshare vehicles, including fatal assaults, which resulted in multiple lawsuits and fines for Lyft and Uber.”
So if some male wanted to assault women they could identify as non-binary and get more women passengers?
My first thought was “lesbian hook up app” but yeah that too.
Every ride share driver I’ve had was a male, immigrant and bipoc. Guess who’s hardest hit by this?
What I admire most about President Biden is that in a polarized nation, he has governed from the center out, as he promised in his victory speech. With an unexpectedly steady hand, he passed some of the most important domestic legislation in recent decades. In foreign policy, he managed the delicate balance of helping Ukraine fight Russia without getting America itself into a war. In sum, he has been a successful and effective president.
WHEEEEEE!
he has governed from the center out, as he promised in his victory speech
Never mind the hundreds of political prisoners, demonization of the political opposition, and trying to jail a political rival on trumped up charges.
He meant center of Hell.
“Obamaphones were a myth”
Wasn’t that law signed by GWB?
Reagan, IIRC
Reagan gave away cellphones? Is that how Zach Morris got one?
The program is to pay the phone bills of people who can’t afford it so they can contact potential employers. Started with land-lines. By the Time Black Jesus ascended to the Oval Office, Big Daddy Gov was paying for cell phones.
I thought it was so people on Medicaid could call medical and emergency services?
https://www.fcc.gov/general/lifeline-program-low-income-consumers
Sure, that too. I thought they played the jobs angle hard to get Republican support, but I’m not positive. There’s always lots of good reasons to give away other people’s money.
Good research there.
I’ll also note that to call employers and 911 that all one needs is a flip phone.
It’s been wiped from the internet. I believe we were paying over 50,000 a line for that program when it was killed.
And no, Zach got his the old fashioned way…being a rich douche.
One of the approved Obamaphone MVNO sets up a tent across from the homeless enablement center to sign people up. They use “contractors” as their signup salesmen. Total scam to sign up as many people as possible and for bums to get more electronics.
What?
BIDEN: “…and ensure that each— we reach the historical underserved communities. Historically unde— there’s a lot of underserved communities. A matter of fact, my work on trying to move on the environment and global warming…”
lol
“I am working hard to put as many people into for-reals poverty as possible.”
Where does the 2A exclude consumers of unapproved chemicals? I missed that part.
No fan of the Bidens, but I do think that prison for possessing a gun while being a drug user is unjust.
Was kinda hoping the charges would spark a conversation in the media about the arbitrary capriciousness of that law. Disappointed as usual.
Of course it is unjust and unconstitutional. But if the Gun Grabbers who gladly enforce this shit on the rest of it have to suffer the consequences of their own laws, then good. You reap what you sow.
It’s kind of a win win here for right wingers.
The only way Hunter gets out of real punishment is by arguing how utterly stupid the law is.
You think so? I still figure he’ll get a plea that involves no jail as long as he stays away from hookers and blow. Add Mexican ass-sex and he could be a Reason contributor.
I don’t know why he’d have to stay away from hookers and blow though. I thought this was America.
If you want to make a law unpopular, enforce it vigorously.
I agree that those laws/regulations are unconstitutional.
“Was kinda hoping the charges would spark a conversation in the media about the arbitrary capriciousness of that law.”
LOL. You know better. The only convo the media ever has is “guns bad, mmmmkay” with generous exemptions for government stooges, and lip service that hunting is okay, but only if it’s a break action, single barrel shotgun, or a bolt action rifle. But in reality they will make gun ownership by “civilians” inconvenient to the point that it’s impractical.
Until the next RHHEEEEE starts up over “sniper rifles.”
Maybe Dr. Jill is running.
JOE BIDEN: “And with that, I’ll turn it over to Jill.”
JILL BIDEN, ED.D.: “You did good things, Joe. Ha ha ha.”
Precedent has been set.
Instead of having to beg for money from the evil capitalists DR Jill and Kamala are going to take the high road. They will go full Susanna Gibson and start having sex on PBS while asking for “tips” for various sex acts. Most requested sex act: “Get dressed and sit as far apart from each other as you can”.
When they really need money, they will bring in Nancy for a 3-way.
You make me long for the relief that death will bring.

Anyone here roast their own coffee? I was using one with a rotating arm and it sucked. Just got a Fresh Roast SR540. Haven’t tried it yet.
A friend of mine used a spare toaster oven, and it was great coffee.
When I say “sucked” I mean uneven results. It was still better than most of the stuff from the store just by being freshly roasted. But I had to pick out the overdone and underdone beans. The new one is like a modified air popper, so it cooks much more evenly.
Commercial roasters have a rolling bin like a clothes dryer.
Mine does, too. Check the link below – they have a bunch of roasters, including some commercialish roasters.
Sounds like an assault roaster. Probably has the thing that goes up.
That’s funny because I got the extension with it.
Nobody needs more than a cup a day.
Especially two girls

I’ve generally used small air powered ones (they work similarly to a hot air popper. What was the issue with the coffee? You can roast with anything even going back to a cast iron skillet.
This is the one I don’t like.
https://www.amazon.com/750g-Electric-Coffee-Roaster-Machine/dp/B08HD642G1/?th=1
It’s got a spinning arm that just doesn’t mix the beans well. I first use a whirlypop popcorn maker and it did a fabulous job until I wore it out.
*raises hand*
We started with one like that. We’re running a Gene Cafe now.
https://www.sweetmarias.com/gene-cafe-test.html

The Baltic States have become the yappy little terriers of NATO.
It’s like they want to get stomped
A couple of weeks back when the generals leading the coup in Niger gave the middle finger to France, the reaction around here was LOLOL, good on Niger for fucking over their former colonial power.
But every time a country that was subjugated by Russia says, “Fuck you, Russia”, the reaction somehow, suddenly, magically turns to “these countries deserve to be destroyed for standing up to their former colonial power”.
Two observations:
Russia is no longer bleeding Estonia or Latvia dry like the French have been doing to Niger and have not been doing so for decades.
It was not an endorsement of those countries getting destroyed. It was an observation that if things continue down the path of antagonism along with escalation in Ukraine, they are going to get destroyed. Some might see that as an undesirable outcome and that they would be better served by cooler heads in charge.
None of what Russia does ever counts as escalation — and yes, they started it; they weren’t forced into it — but standing up to what Russia did is.
Because lining up the Ukrainian army to purge the Donbas of Russian speakers wasn’t an escalation or a provocation. Threatening to put NATO in the country through which Russia has been invaded three times over the past two centuries wasn’t a provocation either.
The blame for the war is primarily with the Brits and DC. They sold Ukraine on a pipe dream and the dumbasses in Kiev bought it. Now Ukraine’s lost hundreds of thousands of young men while DC and London continue to egg them on into their own destruction. Washington and London knew exactly what they were doing and that Russia would see it as a strategic threat that Moscow would not abide. The Kremlin was clear on that. But the war was the goal for the neocons. It was not a miscalculation on their part, it was purposeful.
I’m not responsible for Moscow. I disagree with their actions and think they could have taken other steps prior, but it’s become increasingly obvious that those other steps would have been in vain. The neocons would have continued to push until the damn thing blew up. Now we’ll all be lucky if we all don’t blow up.
I am however supposed to give a fuck about what my own government does and what it is doing is reprehensible.
Bingo
Bullshit. Putin didn’t have to invade anything. I don’t like nato but if Ukraine wanted to file an application that isn’t a declaration of war against Russia, and if nato accepted that isn’t a declaration of war either.
Putin saw a weak and feckless government in DC and tried to take advantage. He underestimated the resolve of the Ukraine and the West. Ukraine overestimated their home field advantage and the Russian military.
I don’t approve of any military aid for Ukraine but this didn’t start because of DC.
“lining up the Ukrainian army to purge the Donbas of Russian speakers”
Not in Russia. Not Russia’s business (except via diplomacy).
Not letting DC (or the Brits, I guess) off the hook. Although I don’t believe DC (or London) are within spitting distance of knowing exactly what they’re doing on any topic.
If Russia hadn’t invaded, the status quo ante, which was devoid of existential threats to Russia, would still be in place. Which included a smaller NATO. And a bigger (counted trained and equipped troops) Russian army. This was a war of choice. Of conquest, really, as Moscow’s annexation of conquered territory proves.
They didn’t need NATO pushing them to dislike Russians, considering how Soviet Russia tried to ethnically cleanse the Baltics by shipping in lots of Russians.
Funny enough, scratch a Finn, or Estonian, or Lithuanian, and you get an honest to God Nazi. A friend of mine from high school, his father had fought for the Nazi’s against the commies as a kid in Lithuania, and ended up a USN fighter pilot over ‘Nam.
Kinda like a Ukrainian.
Maybe they turned to “Nazism” because of what the Soviets did to them?

What could possibly go wrong?

No idea about the URL?
The bears could tear up a sidewalk in the Big Apple?
Looks more like they running away from something than towards the bears.
Yeah. I mean in the video they are not running towards the cubs at all. They are running down the road.
Could be misleading.
They were probably from the California coast and rushing to protest bear arms.
snort
They are…a person points where they are and a group seemed to make a made dash I suppose to snap photos.
Actually I just realized if you watch the full video instead of the snippet they do point.
Assholes.
And if the bear takes those fools out, it gets destroyed.
All wild animals should get a Darwin Award exemption for such scenarios.
Exactly…and chasing cubs? Good God. When we were out in the Alaskan rainforest our guide spotted fresh scat and you can sense his urgency to move along quickly and noted “if it’s a mama bear, this spray and my firearm probably will allow you all to get away but not me”
A dude I know got chomped by a Grizz in Wyoming a few years back. He got ahead of the other guys, went around a corner and surprised two bears. He had his spray in his hand but didn’t have time to do shit. He lived, but he was pretty fucked up.
Bears might not be at the top of the chain but they are goddamn close.
Sometimes we need to just let Darwinism take its course.
Years ago, when we visited the Grand Canyon, there was an elk at the side of the road and someone with a disposable Kodak camera was walking right up to it to take a picture. Right within antler range. People are dumb.

Oh FFS… You’re out of Strategic Reserve, asshole… and you’re scuppering drilling wherever you can. So what… you’re going to continue to tank the economy so it drives demand down enough the prices come down? Because that’s the only play in your playbook I can see.

“Again”? Did he ever get them down before?
They were definitely down earlier this year. Did he get them down? of course not.
When they go down and the President is a Democrat, it’s thanks to the President. If they go up and the President is a Democrat, it’s the evil Big Oil.
I will admit he probably did get them a bit down at one point by selling off most of the US’s strategic reserves so that Democrats could do better in the midterms.
It’s easier to get them down if you jack them up first.
Headlines popping up about new economic sanctions on Russia. Push push push.
We got them this time.
Excluding enough countries from the dollar system is how you lose reserve currency status.
And yet we are buying uranium from them. More than ever, in fact.
Is this that 4D chess I keep hearing about?
Total economic war
The United States said Thursday that it was sanctioning more than 150 businesses and people from Russia to Turkey, the United Arab Emirates and Georgia to try to crack down on evasion and deny the Kremlin access to technology, money and financial channels that fuel President Vladimir Putin’s war in Ukraine.
The sanctions package is one of the biggest by the State and Treasury departments and is the latest to target people and companies in countries, notably in NATO member Turkey, that sell Western technology to Russia that could be used to bolster its war effort.
The package also aims to hobble the development of Russia’s energy sector and future sources of cash, including Arctic natural gas projects, as well as mining and factories producing and repairing Russian weapons.
“The purpose of the action is to restrict Russia’s defense production capacity and to reduce the liquidity it has to pay for its war,” James O’Brien, head of the State Department’s Office of Sanctions Coordination, told The Associated Press.

The puerile, mind boggling stupidity(?) of our Ruling Class just . . . I can’t even.

The exact opposite.
Hey, it worked once before when Japan meekly rolled over for Uncle Sam on the early 40s.
Uffda. I don’t believe the numbers in this report on school truancy in Minnesoda.
Of course, no one in the teachers union or King Walz will be held accountable. The teachers union is the 800lb gorilla in Minnesoda politics. They always get more money and make the pols dance. And not one journalo will ask King Walz if he regrets his lockdown edicts.
Half the kids in your school don’t attend school regularly, but you are to be held out as a leader because other schools around you are worse.
They just need more money Jimbo. duh.
The government would have to build them a new warehouse to hold more money. They already get more money than they know what to do with.
The myth here was that yes our taxes are high, but it goes to get great educations for our kids (and other stuff). So the teachers union became a kingmaker in local politics. They are showered with money at every turn. When scores get worse, it just means they need even more money.
Everyone still believes the old stories about how great our state is at educating kids so they never question what the union wants.
I don’t think you are comprehending. let me put this to you very simply.
They need more money.
Bullshit.
How high have they raised the “poverty” threshold this time? Only one iPhone per child?
Well 100% of our students now receive free lunches, so I guess everyone is poor?
My guess is that it is more likely that people are poor because they skipped school and ended up with shitty jobs. Then they had kids and didn’t care if the kids went to school or not.
Ain’t no fixing anything if the parents don’t give a shit.
Hit That
Yet I’ll bet most of them are handed high school diplomas (even if they can’t read them).
Ain’t no fixing anything if the parents don’t give a shit.
This.
Every single time, this.
That one kid is holding everyone else back!
If he’s white, you know he damn sure is.
In Minneapolis Public Schools, for instance, the overall attendance rate fell from 79% to 46% from 2019 to 2022.
No more pencils
No more books
No more teachers’ dirty looks!

Good.
15k a month is chump change – Hunter

Blaire White does a video
“YES, These LGBTQ Books For Kids SHOULD Be Banned.”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pKj-kIwdNQ
and YouTube age restricts the video.

This is like parents not allowed to read from the same books at school board meetings.

wut?
Kind of proves the point, doesn’t it?
And yet we are buying uranium from them. More than ever, in fact.
But we’re paying in yuan, right?
Here I am, trying to enjoy some snark this evening on the stupid iPad. It jacks up. Keyboard starts fritzing, I try to move page with my finger and set off ads and other websites. Screw that. I went upstairs and got the mighty GETAC. iPads are the sad useless man-buns of computing.
I have a Samsung tablet I inherited from my kid. I always forget I even have it.
My huge laptop is not a perfect world. It’s eight pounds of heat-producing fury. But it beats a crappy tablet.
You know who else has 8 pounds of heat producing fury in their laptop?
Biden’s wedged turd?
Do you know who has 8 pounds of heat producing fury in their pants? I’ll give you a hint. It’s me.
I find my iPad to be a perfectly cromulent web-browsing tool. I rarely use the computer for that, in fact.
Another choo choo accident.
No big deal, huh?
That’s why we cant trust those pesky train engineers to deliver our precious oil. Biden did the right thing in shutting down oil transport by rail.
That story is off the rails.

“Where? Oh they don’t vote for me.” – Brandon
Authorities have ordered a FOUR MILE evacuation zone around the explosion site.
They think that is far enough?
“Since taking office in January of 2021, Secretary Granholm has violated the Hatch Act multiple times,” Tenney remarked during the hearing. “She owned Proterra stock while her boss, President Biden, repeatedly promoted the company. Her husband owned Ford stock while she personally promoted the companies’ work with official resources.”
Small potatoes, but if you can’t impeach for that, you can’t impeach for anything.
They learned from watching us.
In the first verdicts over riots by supporters of Brazil’s far-right ex-President Jair Bolsonaro, the Supreme Court sentenced two defendants Thursday to heavy jail terms on charges including an attempted coup.
The court sentenced 51-year-old Aecio Pereira and 43-year-old Thiago Mathar to 17 and 14 years in prison, respectively, for their role in the riots that overran the seat of power in Brasilia on January 8.
Overwhelming security, thousands of Bolsonaro supporters stormed the presidential palace, Congress and the high court itself that day, trashing the three buildings as they called on the military to oust leftist President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.
“This was no walk in the park. It was a Sunday of devastation, a day of infamy,” said Chief Justice Rosa Weber.
I can picture Gordilocks just shaking his head.
How the fuck does that even happen?
I’m guessing affirmative action hire of a woman truck driver! What do I win?
Because most truck drivers are knuckle dragging morons who would fail a basic literacy class? Then there’s the jingle trucks from BC Shitinmytruckistan.
General driving has gone out the door. Nobody gives a fuck anymore and there’s next to zero traffic enforcement. Yeh hah, muh roadz!
hitting the road for honey harvest tomorrow.
You guys have a great time. Someday I can go.
I’m hitting the bottle for the HH tomorrow!
My wife actually brought up your mead kinnath. And that is something because she doesn’t drink much at all. As her manager, I can offer you very competitive pricing for her endorsement.
Heading down the cellar to grab bottles shortly.
Keep a jacket handy, MN fall can be fickle
Gonna miss y’all. Hope we can do a call again this year.
How the fuck does that even happen?
There is no way that’s unintentional.
Disagree. People truly don’t give a fuck.
When it absolutely positively has to be there overnight.
Tucker episode #23
Hyperinflation and reckless monetary policy could soon devastate the global economy. We traveled to Argentina, where it’s already happened.
And episode 24, an interview with Javier Milei, is now available on rumble.
All very depressing and true.
Take note, this is who the Brits want us to got to war with next.

He needs to stop with these stupid talk shows and make more movies like “Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death.”
Well the 2008 strike had me watch anime and become interested in learning Japanese as a result.
This is a good thing!
A podcast so dull that no one could care less about it. Sort of like their regular content if there weren’t some zombie boomers who mindlessly tune in to that crap on late night.
Somewhere, in the bowels of the government, a manager demands his staff listen to that crap to get them clicks.
Meh, he’s cutting out all the parts that use writers.
Unions suck. I have no problem with this.
I get that, but it undercuts the union he supports.
I happened to be flipping thru the prime-time schedule earlier and it really is nothing but “reality” and game shows now.
Hey. I got a shoe gaze movie for you tonight. Only the best,
The usual suspects are pissed off because the NH state board of education approved PragerU financial literacy courses .
I watched a few of the PragerU financial literacy videos. The ones I watched were OK. They’re basic, but do a good job.
Having financially literate teenagers would really drive down college admissions.
But I can get a loan for my dream of becoming a credentialed hate expert!
OFFS.
Just like you are. Except they take voluntary donations instead of extracting tax dollars at gunpoint and laundering it to the Democrats.
Auto union strike may have unintended consequences. Be careful what you wish for, strikers. Lots of other options
If they get everything they want, cars will cost $100,000.
See you next thread!
Folk still ’round? From quite-dead thread (read: Ev sleeps at odd times when he doesn’t have anything scheduled):
Well, I’ve awoken on Day 7. Things are going well on this end. I have a Wheel Man errand to assist Dad with, and then…I technically don’t have anything until a pretty booked outpatient sched next week.—> Day has gone and keeps going well.
I’m healing in typical swift fashion. Made an appearance at Kroger to have a twenty second chat with the guy who hired me, who happened to be running about. Told him I’ll have the work release when ready and just reminding folk that I haven’t disappeared. He seemed to appreciate that. Those two combined will be my full-time gig for a while.
I have writing projects I will be pursuing. They’ll be good for content here, though putting it to page will show me if it requires any chapter-ing. Feeling remarkably brisk, actually, where I didn’t before. I thank bits of condo solace, a bowl and a wank featuring a high school hottie that I knew but was likely (in some ways) wise to stay away from. (She was a) taken, b) had a deserved rep for being a bit of a hottie-dumbie, and c) her husband is arguably more handsome and almost assuredly more successful than I at this moment. FB provides info that she is still suh-huh—huuuuh—–smoooooookin’.
Ev wish he wasn’t as dumb with youthful escapades as I could have been if I had known any better.
