Here we are with another year winding down. This one thankfully has gone by quick. 2024 may never end.

 

Links?

 

Catch ya later, sweetie.

 

Word on the street is that this is spear headed by Minnie Mouse.

 

Nothing says “Christmas!” like bear spray and bullets.

 

Cool. Another regional war brewing.

 

SantaCon!

 

Here’s a blast from the past.

 

The tide does seem to be turning, or at least slowing.

 

Okay, that’s it for me. This is in homage to OMWC grifting the Turks.

    Looks like UW deal ain’t happenin

    • KK, Plump & Unfiltered

      Yep. Still invisible.

        It’s literally right there in the links?

        I haven’t gotten to the links.

    Wisconsin board of regents rejected the deal. Justice demanded it.

    Great tune!

      Ha I keep forgetting about the original.

      My brain wants to speed it up.

    An Alabama jewelry store robber tried to spread some holiday spirit — in the form of bear spray — before ending up getting shot and arrested, according to police.

    Brings a tear to your eye, doesn’t it?

  5. The Late P Brooks

    University of Pennsylvania President Liz Magill resigned from her post Saturday after facing intense criticism from the White House, lawmakers and high-profile alumni over comments she made during a congressional hearing on campus antisemitism.

    I suppose I could read the transcript, and make an effort to study this in detail, but I don’t really give a fuck. Boo hoo. Feelings were hurt.

    • rhywun

      I can’t be bothered either but I have a strong suspicion she “resigned” because reputation and alumnibux and nothing else.

      • Zwak says the real is not governable, but self-governing.

        If donations had gone up during this, she would be proven right!

    Gay has apologized for her remarks. In an interview with the Harvard Crimson student newspaper, she said in part: “I got caught up in what had become at that point, an extended, combative exchange about policies and procedures.”

    “I failed to convey what is my truth,” she added.

    She should be fired for uttering that idiotic gobbledygook.

    • JaimeRoberto (carnitas/spicy salsa)

      Apparently Harvard has changed it’s motto from Veritas to Veritas Mea.

    Conservatives have long criticized the UW system as a bastion of liberalism. Democrats have accused Republicans of holding employees hostage by blocking pay raises. They argue that diversity initiatives enhance the collegiate experience and play a crucial role in identifying promising students who grew up with fewer resources. The fight in Wisconsin reflects a broader cultural battle playing out across the nation over college diversity initiatives.

    Just sell the school off to a private owner and stop funneling money towards it.

    • rhywun

      They argue that diversity initiatives enhance the collegiate experience and play a crucial role in identifying promising students herpity derpity doo

      If people in Wisconsin of all places are starting to see through this gobbledygook, I consider that a win.

    We looked everywhere

    The Metropolitan Nashville Police Department says it has “exhausted all possible investigative avenues” in its efforts to track down the person responsible for leaking three photos of writings from the killer of three children and three adults at a private school in March.

    The department announced the update in a Friday news release.

    Police conducted interviews and examined electronic devices as part of their month-long investigation, which did not identify any current employees of the department or its partner agencies as having engaged in the unauthorized release of the images, the release says.

    I bet they even looked under the couch cushions.

      I don’t zoom, and it’s a bit too warm to wear but I have a blue sweater with a big penguin in a santa hat that would probably fit right in.

      • KK, Plump & Unfiltered

        You gotta be present to win and show us your outfit on camera, but you don’t have to show your face

      • Tres Cool

        Can I show my dick?

      • DrOtto

        Isn’t that Bro’s schtick?

      • Chafed

        I’d be disappointed if you didn’t.

    • westernsloper

      I remember, and ya, I am in for another 20. Only because I am going to win!

    • KK, Plump & Unfiltered

      (I’ll be on tonight’s zoom around 8:45ish ET I imagine.)

    Eight years for being an asshole

    A white New Jersey man who was captured in a viral video in 2021 harassing his Black neighbors and hurling racial slurs was sentenced Friday to eight years in prison.

    Edward C. Mathews, 47, was ordered to serve at least four years before he is eligible for parole, The Philadelphia Inquirer reported.

    In October, he pleaded guilty to four counts of bias intimidation and possession of a controlled dangerous substance with intent to distribute. The charges stem from a 2021 incident in which footage showed him repeatedly calling his neighbors the N-word and another offensive slur outside a home in Mount Laurel.

    “Our office is committed to combatting bias crimes and sending a clear message that such actions will not be tolerated in our community,” Burlington County Prosecutor LaChia L. Bradshaw said in a statement Friday. “Nobody should have to endure what these victims experienced.”

    Another scalp for the thoughtcrime brigade.

    • LCDR_Fish

      Chances of this being thrown out? I can see this in the UK, but I don’t see any way to get this prosecuted under the 1A. Of course, I still don’t know how that other guy got convicted for the election meme.

    • rhywun

      Saw something earlier about a pattern of intimidation and harassment or some shit.

      The MSM is of course going to go all-in on “nigger” because that is literally worse than Hitler so it’s not going to be easy to suss out how outrageous this is.

      For all we know they could be “making an example of him” to make it easier to punish thoughtcrime going forward.

    • Sensei

      possession of a controlled dangerous substance with intent to distribute. T

      And dealing drugs. Which should also be legal, but he’s more than just an asshole.

    • creech

      Far more serious than torching a Wendy’s.

    • hayeksplosives

      So much for logic, equality, and consistency.

      “Black” is capitalized and “white” is not.

      To call a man “colored” is racist. But to call Homs “person of color” is downright respectful. The NAACP told me so.

      Is there a manual of style that lists all the rules, or do we have to guess?

  12. rhywun

    SantaCon!

    I was waiting to hear that Antifa showed up to shit all over the place but apparently they only threatened to do so.

    Do better, Antifa.

    • Not Adahn

      They couldn’t figure out if elves were indigenous or settler-colonialists.

    2024 may never end.

    Only because December of that year kicks off the 2028 Presidential election.

    • rhywun

      It feels like the 2028 Presidential election is already in full swing.

    Been cooking for three hours for a party. One more hour to go. All fajitas for an ugly sweater party. I had to bring out my OSHA pad for my feet. Listening to Quadrophenia, having a cigar and cognac. Party guests are showing up, papped and ready. I am beat.

    • Tres Cool

      Papped?
      Are you offering a schmear ?

      • R.J.

        Pooped now. This party is a giant ad for birth control

  15. R.J.

    Indeed. 2024 may never end. Time to stand up.

  16. one true athena

    segment on local news about fucking covid and pushing the booster. Pfizer really does have the CDC completely captured, good grief.

    Though on the actually honest side of things, they also had a segment on what the meal in Home Alone would cost now. $40-something at the time of the movie’s release, and over 70 today. But the Economy Is Great Really say all the DNC Twit-shills.

    • westernsloper

      I listened to the Highwire podcast episode 349 today. There are studies showing the “vax” has so changed peoples immune systems they are more prone to lung infections. We are intentionally being poisoned as well as told the economy is great.

      • Mojeaux

        Intentional or happy accident?

        I guess it doesn’t matter.

      • Sean

        Intentional.

      • Spudalicious

        Not to our overlords it doesn’t.

      • Yusef drives a Kia

        We? Haha!
        /pureblood

    • Gustave Lytton

      Don’t forget to ask your doctor about other great Pfizer vaccines !

      • UnCivilServant

        I’ve luckily got a doctor who isn’t into pushing additional meds or the clot shots.

      • Sean

        Mine’s pretty chill. He does want me to poop in a box though.

      • UnCivilServant

        Testing to see if the ivermectin has dealt with the worms?

        (I keed, I keeed)

      • Mojeaux

        Mine makes me get scoped every 3 years. 😳

      • Fourscore

        The medics kind of gave up on the ‘scopies for me, about 15 years ago.

        Last time I was in a few months ago, the family guy ran the stethoscope around, I asked “What’s the
        ticker sound like?”

        He said, “Well, you’re still here” and sort of laughed.

      • Mojeaux

        I had pre-cancerous lesions, so I’m on the 3-year plan.

      • slumbrew

        No kink shaming.

      • JaimeRoberto (carnitas/spicy salsa)

        Poop in the box beats a probe in the ass.

      • Chafed

        What if I buy you dinner first?

      • LCDR_Fish

        Still mandated to get the flu shot every year. Probably have to get it this week before the deadline.

      • Lackadaisical

        ‘mandated to get the flu shot every year’

        This reminds me why I’m not doing government consulting.

    D is for defense, idiots
    “DARPA’s project seems very carefully calibrated to catalyze a successful commercial lunar industry within a decade, which is clearly a peaceful activity,” said Peter Garretson, a senior fellow in defense studies at the American Foreign Policy Council. He is a well-regarded strategy consultant who focuses on space and defense….

      Obviously they want to setup mass driver cannons on the moon to bombard Earth.

    My mom was able to stand up today. Hopefully she will continue to recover. I spent most of the day in bed. My sole excursion was to get a ham sandwich and chips. I ought to be more active.

      +1 mom news

      I have a sore throat. I’m like wut, I haven’t been sick since I think I had the plague Xmas 2020. I feel like sleeping. Or drinking. Or more drinking, then sleeping in the near future.

    Fulfilled my holiday obligation and watched “Hebrew Hammer” while getting hammered.
    Jugsy went to bed.

      I wanted to get hammered but I had to take a nap instead. Now I just want to go to bed.

    • Chafed

      Where did you find it?

      • Gustave Lytton

        Amazon has it, free with ads so Freevee maybe?

      • Tres Cool

        Its on Prime

        I splurged for the holiday and got the $1.99 rental. Or is that….Yentl ?

      There’s a simple solution to students not paying tuition, but something tells me that the administration there won’t do it.

    • rhywun

      Love the laundry list of ignorance and far-left staples. This is just the current year version of BLM volume XXIV.

        The problem is these are the people disproportionately going into politics-as-career jobs.

    Good morning all!

    Finally a little snow yesterday, couple inches. It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood! So far, it’s been a nice fall/winter, Global Warming is my friend.
    Morning all, looks like last night’s shenanigans has taken its toll
