Roger Goodell finds his calling. Fucking football.
The world’s on fire, nothing you see in the news can be believed anymore, there are people who don’t like German beer, but at least we have football back somewhat.
On that note, before the Floriday/Ole Miss game, both teams and coaches knelt, but it was just before kickoff, and not during the anthem. Thoughts? Discuss below.
We’ll show you who the REAL grownups are.
Climate change has reared it’s ugly head to remind us all that it’s still here.
I wish I could have been a fly on the wall when Obama found out RBG had kicked it. I do like the sound of “The Notorious ACB”.
We’ll see how this goes. Typically, they can’t organize a picnic.
Looks like it’s Minnesoda’s turn in the barrel.
I think they’re really missing out on a niche market of about four people.
A little Jim Croce tonight.
“KARLEIGH FRISBIE BROGAN”
When they’re from SF and their middle name is Frisbie, you know you’re in for it.
“With little power to actually derail Trump’s pick, Democrats are coming under considerable pressure from their activist base to use every tactic at their disposal to not just throw sand in the gears of the confirmation fight, but to portray the consideration of expected nominee Amy Coney Barrett as a farce that shouldn’t even occur.
In a sense, they are playing the role of the GOP in 2016…”
Hold the fuck up.
They’re just gearing up for a repeat of “her truth,” the GOP didn’t drag Garland thru the mud, they just told him to pound sand.
TRUMP WON’T HONOR HER DYING WISH!!!!!!
until a new president is installed
Considering she (assuming true statement) seems to want a coup…
I think the term is “installed” just because there’s still many months after the election to confirm her.
And I’m not even convinced Ginsburg even said it.
Well, President Biden would an installation. Like dishwasher, he’ll have to be connected to a bunch of hoses and wires.
Not unlike Ginsburg.
I don’t get all this kerfuffle over Ginsburg’s choice of words. What？Was she some kind of lawyer or something?
I sincerely pray that none of us has our dying words parsed as harshly as everyone seems to be parsing hers. I also sincerely pray that whatever gods there may be do not visit justice on us all for doing in this case. Sorry to pick your comment to express my absolute disgust about this, but you came so close to it and then backed off.
I’m don’t believe with certainty that those were actually her last words. What I object to is the use of these words – real or purported – to subvert the system which will affect us all in real life.
That usage is what makes me think it’s completely fabricated.
I feel the same.
Perhaps she said, “rosebud”.
I would hope that those close to me would have the common decency to keep my final words a private matter – particularly if making them public would obviously make a political spectacle of those words.
I’m don’t believe with certainty that those were actually her last words
This. Short of video evidence, I don’t believe this deathbed BS. She was dying of cancer, she was probably on not just a little pain medication (which she could be, because she wasn’t Angel Raich).
It’s a “no shit!” that she wanted to be replaced by a lefty. Who fucking cares? Obama wanted to be replaced by Clinton, too. Boo hoo! Elections have consequences.
Fortune teller

I’m amused by Obama tiptoeing around Ginsburg like she’s some vindictive God. I think it speaks volumes about them both.
Rapid Roy that stock car boy, he’s too much to believe,
You know he’s always got an extra pack of cigarettes, rolled up in his t-shirt sleeve.
Always loved that song and Jim Croce. Great pick, Spud!
Don’t mess around with Jim!
One of my all-time fave songs of the 70s. That’s just a great, clever, fun song.
Another of my favorites:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AnERqIVPcWM
I liked the stories Croce told, I have his “best of …CD”
Bad, bad…
A few years back there was some Simon Cowell show that was a clone of American Idol doing tryouts at the Oakland Coliseum. They were giving out free tickets to cancer patients, so after my oncologist offered a ducat I decided to go. One kid trying out did “You Don’t Mess Around with Jim” and Cowell said to him, “where did you get that song? Did you write it?” The kid told him it was a Jim Croce song, and Cowell said, “Who’s that? Nobody has heard of him. Come back with a song from someone somebody has heard of.”
I felt like yelling “Ever heard of Bad Bad Leroy Brown, asshole? I know you have, because every hotel bar I’ve ever been to in Europe has a band doing a shitty cover of it! No, you only know mediocre pop singers from the past decade, not any real singer songwriters!” But I was way too far from the stage.
Parts of Switzerland, Austria and Germany were surprised by unseasonably early snowfall overnight, after a sharp drop in temperatures and heavy precipitation.
The Swiss meteorological agency said Saturday that the town of Montana, in the southern canton (state) of Valais, experienced 25 centimeters (almost 10 inches) of snowfall — a new record for this time of year.
Global Warming causes an ice age. I saw it in that documentary ‘The Day After Tomorrow’.
Big deal, there’s always snow in Montana.
I’d have liked to see Montana
Not so far. But I have only been here today.
I was there in August once and there was snow.
I watched Independence Day fireworks in a snowstorm in Bozeman. We watched is a bit too far. Listened to them launch and see a dull glow above the ground when they went “BOOM”. Kinda interesting.
In Florida we get seasonal “snowbirds” fleeing the whitened landscape every winter. They start wandering down around Canadian Thanksgiving, and return north just after Easter. As the saying down here goes, “You can tell it’s fall in Florida when the license plates start changing color.”
In the seam vein, I suppose folks with money could get away from the I-5 corridor every summer.
So west coast lefties, feel free to flee. Just don’t come to Florida, and if you do, for God’s sake don’t move here permanently. Think Chicago, Madison, Minneapolis. They want you, they need you, and they certainly deserve you.
HAH! We have a running joke. A Canadian Thanksgiving is a dozen donuts.
In a sense, they are playing the role of the GOP in 2016
No. The circumstances are different when the Senate and Presidency are held by the same party. Welcome to party politics.
Sure, but that’s not what the R’s were saying in 2016, it was all “election year” and “let the people decide” and Blah blah blah. So yes the D’s are playing the role of the GOP. Doing whatever they can but using bullshit excuses to make it look like they aren’t just being assholes.
“Yeah, we did that, but the difference is now we can make ours happen. Suck it.”
Look, they are both cuntes. But one being a cunt however doesn’t excuse the others cunte-ness.
I don’t disagree with your conclusion. however there is a world of difference between telling a candidate to fuck off because it isn’t going to happen and what the Dems did to Kavanaugh.
I don’t think politicians have ever not been cuntes nor have they apologized for being cuntes, so…business as usual?
No. This time the Rs are actually flexing their cunte muscles which they hardly ever do.
*tugs collar* Is it getting hot in here?
I’ll cool you off: Mitch McConnell.
LOL
“I’ll cool you off: Mitch McConnell.”
Working out with his “egg”.
If the party in power wants to hold up a nominee, or allow a nominee, that’s it’s perogative. That’s why it’s called the party in power. If Joe-blow public wanted to stop ACB, they should have elected the dems in the senate. Are we saying that the (R)’s shouldn’t use the power vested in them to advance their (LOL) principles? Are we saying the dems would do the right thing (whatever that’s defined as)? Yeah, fuck that. The constitution spells out what any given party can do, and I expect either of them to do it. The dems will happily do illegal and immoral shit to get power, far exceeding their legal authority, why would the (R)’s do any less?
^^ That was meant for Urthona
True but the R’s are just a garden variety nasty yeast infected cunt. The D’s are a scabby syphilitic cunt with a razorblade tucked up inside.
It’s almost like they just entirely make up the rationale for whatever political outcome they want.
You know..l. what RBG basically did her entire career.
So…did RBG go down as a corona death?
Of course they are assholes. They’re politicians, what did you expect? They’re not people, quit treating them like people.
there are people who don’t like German beer
More for me. I like the local brewpub’s Oktoberfest. Yum.
German beer good. Czech beer good. British beer good. Belgian beer good. American beer good, except when rice and corn based knockoffs of german beer.
I’m drinking Spaten right now. Its ever so slightly skunky, but I’ll drink them all.
What does a sexy coronavirus costume look like?
Does CA have a tax collector that demands you pay income tax for 10 years after leaving the state? Or just proposing one?
The Dems are in this pickle solely because of RGB’s megalomania.
What does a sexy coronavirus costume look like?
Nothing but two masks. One for upstairs, one for downstairs.
Or three
(or four)
Oh my.
ACB is a year older than me and I went to enough parties at Rhodes in those days that I think it’s highly likely we’ve been at a kegger together. Fairly certain she’s the first Supreme Court Nominee I can say that about.
Claim she tried to rape you! set up a gofundme and the Soros money will come pouring in, I’ll claim to have been there also and that you’re a lying asshole and set up a gofundme and get all the sweet sweet GOP money.
You’re so stupid. GoFundMe would never allow you to contradict a victim.
Got to use GoFuckMe instead.
I like to avoid GoFundMe when possible since thy started passing judgment on the cause.
Pro-choice? No problem. Funding an independent movie about Kermit Gosnell? Removed from GoFundMe.
Legal fees to help a conservative? Inconsistent with GoFubdMe values.
Screw them.
I prefer IndieGoGo.
The folks behind “Virtue Signal” switched to IndieGoGo because of Kickstarter supporting defunding the police.
I’m surprised that isn’t against the law since they are dealing with money.
Obama weaponized the financial regulatory system against conservatives. They’re just following the example.
I would never put myself or my family through the humiliation of publicly implying that I wouldn’t have willingly had sex with ACB.
Fashion retailer Yandy doesn’t typically shy away from sexy or controversial Halloween costumes inspired by current events and public personas. But this week, the company’s executives said they don’t intend to sell racy coronavirus costumes.
Sad.
I think they took down the handmaiden one.
“Looks like it’s Minnesoda’s turn in the barrel”
The author’s name. I hate everything.
House Negro
Women’s March co-founder Tamika Mallory called Republican Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron a “sell-out negro” Friday after Cameron did not charge any officers involved in the death of Breonna Taylor.
“Daniel Cameron is no different than the sell-out negroes that sold our people into slavery and helped white men to capture our people, to abuse them, and to traffic them while our women were raped, while our men were raped by savages,” Mallory said during a news conference held by Benjamin Crump, the attorney representing Taylor’s family.
“That is who you are, Daniel Cameron. You are a coward. You are a sellout. And you were used by the system to harm your own mama,” she continued.
Mallory’s language was similar to that used by an MSNBC guest Wednesday who said Cameron is not “kinfolk”.
“He does not speak for black folks,” Cheryl Dorsey, a retired Los Angeles Police Department sergeant said while on MSNBC Live With Ayman Mohyeldin. “He is skinfolk, but he is not kinfolk. Just because he is up there with a black face does not mean he speaks for us.”
“This was not a tragedy, this was a murder. He should be ashamed of himself.”
I don’t even know where to begin.
Neither do you, bitch
The AG explained the situation with regard to the law and circumstances of the case and all the reporters wanted to ask was about the melanin content of the investigation and legal review teams. Someone here is racist, but it ain’t the AG/police…
” the sell-out negroes that sold our people into slavery and helped white men to capture our people”
Wait… I was assured that never happened.
At least that article spells out the word “Negro”. The one posted this morning use “N**roes”.

I vote this one.
Wow.
Uh oh.
She lurks here?
Surely she has more class than that.
That being said, anyone else having selfish pig-man dreams/fantasies of being in Noem/ACB three-way?
*shyly raises hand*
I LOL’d at the Dead Kennedys and the Garden of Eden.
Heh…
Anyone else notice the holosight on the 60? Admittedly easy to overlook, given the context.
I noticed it wasn’t a M60; it’s a M240.
I don’t know what you were looking at.
I would like to now mention that Amy Barrett once raped me at a house party about however many years ago that would be possible.
You do not speak for male victims of sexual assault! You don’t talk like them. You are a sell out.
(Am o doing this right?)
Not bad. Probably needs more spittle-flecked rage, though.
Just needs protection amirite?
Progjection thy name is Biden.
“He’s sort of like Goebbels,” Biden said. “You say the lie long enough, keep repeating it, repeating it, repeating it, it becomes common knowledge.”
Shortly after that, he said Trump’s action made him more like former Cuban dictator Fidel Castro than World War II-era British Prime Minister Winston Churchill.
“People see clearly the difference between me and Donald Trump,” he added. “Trump is, you know — Trump is clearing protests in front of the White House that are peaceful, you know with, the military. This guy is more Castro than Churchill.”
Castro could give two-hour speeches.
ACB is 48, with a successful career and a husband and 7 kids. Also she’s kinda MILFy. Suddenly I feel I wasted my life.
She’s totally anti-feminist you know… because she appears to have it all.
She’s pretty AND has the wrong politics. That’s what it boils down to.
All we need to know is this:
she has a husband.
She’s successful.
She has kids who I assume, some of them could be males who have not transitioned to one of the other 23 genders.
She disagreed with the penaltax.
She’s religious.
She’s cute.
She’s white.
That’s all we need to know to know that she should never serve on the court.
So, the opposite of Elena Kagan?
Seriously, is Elena Kagan the most unqualified Supreme Court Justice in the 20-21at century or what?
+1 wise Latina
I’m dumb as dogshit and I think I am smarter than that woman.
Sotomayor actually served as a trial judge for several years. As much as I hate to say it, but she may be the most technically qualified justice on the court.
*runs into bathroom, vomits uncontrollably*
I think Breyer has seniority.
Okay I admit that I know nothing of Kagans history but what exactly makes her unqualified?
If I remember correctly she did not serve on the federal judiciary and instead was a solicitor general under Obama.
The complete disconnect between her opinions and the Constitution. Which is pretty much the definition of unqualified to serve on the Supreme Court. I’ll have your back on a lot of things, but in terms of supreme court appointees the R’s nominees sometimes suck because they do not act as their principles dictate. The D’s nominees always suck because they do.
Does that include justices solely in the 20th century? Because there were several, starting backwards from Fortas.
Also she’s kinda MILFy
Word/Would.
She’s never written book that made me really happy.
Awwwwww. That got me in the feelz.
Tundra, how is it you always say the most wonderful things to everyone? You are an indefatigably happy part of this community and I love you for it.
He reminds of some MN people I talk to on the phone, except the typed words aren’t rolled.
Tundra is Minnesoda Nice, typical. In fact, the Midwest folks that Honey Harvested are so nice AFAIK there were no calls made to the Sheriff.
They are invited back for 2021 and so are the rest of the Glibs that can make it. More than 10 people congregated, no masks and a lot of laughs.
Don’t encourage him. I’d wager that his nice guy act is all a smokescreen, he’s got bodies in the buried in the crawl space.
I’m sure he made them enjoy their demise.
There’s room for one more, buzzkill.
Nice knowin’ ya, Hype.
+1 Turning Hype’s head into a fine pink mist from about 400 yards out . . .
I know I can piss people off around here with my ‘supposed contrarianism’, but is this some pop culture reference I’m missing or are have I actually gotten someone to advocate assassinating me. Which would be pretty cool. I can cross that item off my bucket list.

“I’ll eat the five game suspension!!”
You have us.
This fight is going to be unbelievable. Kavanaugh was just the pre-game.
It doesn’t have to be, does it? Mitch could shut down the bullshit rather quickly, if he has any testosterone left.
“You commie bitch-boyz have one day to play your proggie mind games. Pick your cunte interviewers carefully. The next day is RINO time. Then we go nuclear. We vote on the third day. See you then. Oh, and elections have consequences.”
Good question. I don’t know procedure. Why did they let the last one go on so long?
Because of cuntes like Jeff Flake?
Because they were weak, and stupid.
“I’ll drink to that.”
Spud!
Happy Saturday, brother, and thanks for the lynx!
I think I may watch Miracle tonight, just for the football humping monkey reference!
As far as our turn in the barrel – it makes it easier to leave.
Jim Croce was a staple in our house when I was a wee child. I appreciate your selection.
Have a groovy Saturday night you reprobates!
Why isn’t Trump hammering the Middle East peace stuff harder in his ads & shit?
Because nobody cares.
I grew up with the mantra, “Peace in the Middle East” and candidates would campaign on it. I haven’t heard that in years. Maybe everybody just gave up and now it’s just anticlimactic.
It won’t nudge the vote meter. No one understands that stuff
And some fundamentalist Christians actually believe that it’s the ‘covenant with many’ from Biblical prophecy and that could make Trump the antichrist.
What he should be hammering home 24/7 is antifa and blm video attacking senior citizens at restaurants and all the times that Joe and Kamala and the media have showed support for those groups.
Yep. There are still plenty of people who aren’t that into politics but know that they love America and they don’t like criminal thugs.
In some Dem circles, saying you love America is considered intolerant and racist, as is wanting to arrest criminals regardless of color or shouted slogan.
We’ve been in Afghanistan fighting a war for 20 years and I’ll bet less than 10 % can find it on a map.
“less than 10 %”
So, about the same number of people who’ve been in uniform…
He is here in PA (swing state) with large (((population))). Just like SloJoe hammers his Scranton working class background, you probably don’t see those ads in many other states.; Joe, of course, is blue collar having attended an elite prep school, got a law degree and went right into political office in 1970. Also, managed to avoid Vietnam with asthma deferment which apparently didn’t stop him from being a star football player in high school and college.
He loved Scranton so much he immediately left to represent another state.
Gov Walz, D, MN, heard that song years ago..
Thing is, it’s not one or the other. He could hang BLM & Antifa around Biden’s neck, and contrast that with all the peace shit he’s doing.
Another reason would be because this is a very volatile situation in the ME. Announce it to fanfare, and then don’t talk about it while everyone gets used to the idea.
They’re running this ad in Ohio.
Lebanon is only 1 state away.
For those who care, Zoom/Virtual Hour/etc. for tonight. I’ll kick it off at about 20:00 Eastern
Thanks!! Wish I could join, but I missed my connex in DFW and now I won’t be home til midnight. ?
Safe travels. I enjoyed your updates immensely!
I’ve never missed a connection. I thought I did once in the time before smartphones, because I forgot that I had crossed a time zone.
Travel safe!
The only time I missed a connection was London Heathrow. And then dealing with British Airways’ ground customer service staff (who were useless witlings). They managed to turn a 16-hour flight + airport ordeal into a 30+ hour ordeal getting to Schiphol from Calgary, Alberta.
**FUCK** British Airways Customer Service Reps. In the ass with the nosecone of a 767 at 880 km/h.
I read that as conex and was wondering exactly what you were shipping back from the black hills.
Conex boxes are great for orphan shipping.
Me too
I won’t be on tonight.
The local brewpub has a band that the staff have been talking up.
Thanks nephew!
I hate autocorrect
Hahahaha!!
I wonder who Frisbie voted for….
I hope she aint coming this way. I am fairly sure she wont. I need to see what I can do to strengthen our reputation as a remote, backward redneck hell.
Thanks, you’re a real buddy.
She disagreed with the courts!
Oh muh gawds! She’s awful, but the woman she’s replacing has been hailed as a great hero for being a dissenting voice for decades.
I like her a little more now.
If only her critique included the words “pulled that justification right out of his wrinkled ass”, then she would be perfect
I assume she’s too polite and professional to say stuff like that.
Saw a Biden ad recently. 15 seconds. Three sentences of total bullshit that I could spend paragraphs dissecting and refuting. And I swear there was a jump-cut. I wonder how many takes it took to get enough to piece together into something coherent.
Unfortunately, very few voters will dissect and refute. “Sounds good, Mabel. Let’s vote for this guy. We’ve never heard anything good about that Trump guy.”
Last one I saw pretty much parroted Trump word for word, jobs, law and order, bring jobs home from China.
If you’re going to tell a lie, tell a big one.
I think I saw the same one. He looks like he aged about 10 years since he went into the basement.
Yeah, saw some a couple of days ago. He sounds awful in his own ads, and those are the best takes.
They’re all deep-fakes.
Good eeevening, Spud.
Nice links. Climate change, the Nazgul, more climate change, sportsball, and right wing extremists who are nothing like those nice peaceful protesters.
Everything tastes bitter today. Girl problems.
Hope you are doing well.

It’s “coney”? Now I feel like eating a hot dog.
If you shoot a coney with a Barrett that is one burst bunny.

I’m fine with pre-game theater. I mean, I don’t agree with it – but it’s easy to ignore.
Apparently, too easy, because the USL (MLS Jr.) has brought the theater into the middle of every match and consequently I won’t watch again.
When I was dealing with American Airlines via Twitter about my rebooking, I thanked them for their help and they threw a Ron Swanson quote at me! ?
(P.S. always use Twitter for customer service communications…start with a public post, then move it to DM. Companies are very responsive to Twitter complaints)
That would require me to have a Twitter account.
Fuckers kicked me off!
Actually, that makes me pretty proud…
How did you achieve that?
It was right about the time that Glibs went live. I blame myself.
And yet – my give-a-fuck meter is pegged hard left.
I heard lefties liked being pegged hard.
?♀️
You could sign up for one just to complain at companies. I mean, that’s pretty much what all of Twitter is anyway.
Would have never been able to rebook any other way before I even arrived at DFW. Other poor bastards on my flight were panicking, waiting to land so they could call the airline.
Look at Yoda of consumer complaints over here.
Who are you who are so wise in the ways of kvetching?
My husband has weaponized FB like that.
“Exxxxxxxxcellent, Smithers!”
That’s the only reason for using Twitter, right?
Oh, and for low blood pressure.
That’s so devious I could never have thought of it.
Alas I don’t have an account either. There are reasons I deleted mine. Nothing I did, I just don’t want a possible trail some day.
using chippingpreet as your handle was your first mistake.
Twitter out-Yelped Yelp.
Every day in the mail box we get several glossy political ads.
Today’s were on for the R running for AG and one against the D running for congress (half the ads are negative with no mention of the good guy). Both ads had unflattering pictures of Occaisional Cortex, Bernie and Aunt Nancy. The R’s need those three lke the D’s need Two Scoops
How unflattering of AOC? Like caught with her pants down?
That would probably be one of the few flattering pictures.

Hey Buddy….
I am delighted that we don’t use Zoom at my new job. Though I wish they would settle on either GotoMeeting or Teams. But nobody uses a camera, at least in IT. I was all set to have to wear a shirt to work but now I don’t have to.
I hate Teams. I absolutely hate it.
Me too.
It’s new to me. I like it so far, more or less. ?♂️
I’m sure I’ll have something to complain about sooner or later.
I like it the best of all of them, and Zoom the least.
I seem to have meetings on both if those, plus Webex/GoToMeeting. I like Zoom best because it has a green-screen-free background option and you can use any photo you want as a backdrop. Teams has a similar function, but you have to use one of their set backdrops, half of which are just white patterns. Webex is the worst because it has no background option at all, even with a green screen. These things are important if your home office has unsightly cluttered shelves behind you.
Our version of teams lets you use your own photo as backdrop. I do know that MS rolls out new Teams features unevenly. Many of my colleagues got the photo backdrop 2 or 3 weeks before I did. Same with upgrade from 4 to 9 simultaneous screens.
On Friday I was watching an academic colloquium and we got zoombombed. Host was a professor from Simon Fraser University, who had no idea how to use waiting rooms. The presenter, who was a doctoral student, took it in stride. In case you’re curious, the topic was a critique of Penelope Maddy’s philosophy of mathematics. I’m pretty sure that all 20 people in the world who are interested were already watching, so I don’t know how the bombers got the link.
One of the work calls put out a request for people to turn their video on so we could see each other. I’ve never turned on my video.
And we all wish you followed that rule here! jk
Oi!
I remember I left it off for most of the first couple of these I ran.
Our workstations are a laptop, two basic monitors, and a dock. Video would require me to move the laptop to my desk where there isn’t currently room for it and, well, to do work on a fucking laptop.
No. Just… no.
I have a work laptop also. Do not use it. It never gets turned on unless I’m traveling. I hate laptops.
I use my laptop like a desktop. But sometimes I go to the library to work (in the Before Times). I just don’t use the touchpad. I use the mouse at all times.
My company is moving to all laptops now. Apparently when the plague started, folks had their desktops delivered to their homes but newbies like me are getting laptops. Which I would have gotten anyway because like in the before times when I worked for the same company, I would be expected to take a laptop home every night anyway.
I haven’t worked on a desktop in at least a decade. The bonus is now I have a dock at home. I absolutely hate using laptops too.
I use my own PC for work, with 3 large monitors. I VPN into my desktop at work and all my servers.
I was surprised, my work laptop recognizes my camera. Fortunately I don’t have to use it, but have the option.
I’ve got a KVM that switches between my work laptop, personal PC and my gaming PC. I’ve got the camera, an external sound card, keyboard and mouse all switching through it.
It was a sound investment as it lets me use my work laptop with my personal 3440×1440 monitor and peripherals w/o pissing off the IT police.
I ditched my work PC for exclusive laptop years ago. Started off docked laptop with standard aspect monitor, now have two widescreen (albeit only 22″) and laptop monitor. I love three screens and it hurts when I go to just the laptop when on the road.
And Skype for Business was the best of the lot. Then MS fucked it all up with Teams. The mobile app is a steaming pile of shit. The desktop version constantly moves functionality around. The last update buries what used to be easily accessible via tabs to nested menus. Just like the search box in Outlook. I wouldn’t piss on Redmond if it was burning to the ground.
I had a 4 hour meeting on Zoom yesterday, I’m all Zoomed out. Most of my meetings are on Teams, but I still have that one on Zoom. We use cameras in most meetings.
My meetings are mostly looking at code or tickets so cameras would be pointless anyway.
We screen share, but cameras are required in some meetings. I mean we can occasionally get out of using one, but doing it all the time will not go over well.
I can see it for executives or something but thank god I’m not one of those.
I’d love to be a fly on the wall when Ilhan Omar heard about this.

Minority, woman, Muslim…I doubt she’s too concerned because she’s basically untouchable.
She is not a sab! She comes from the warlord class
My thought on reading about that case was “I wonder if they’re prosecuting this to prepare the ground for a case against Omar?”
I like the alleged & unrelated corruption at a previous job but the city hired him anyway.
I’d rather play Russian Roulette.

It makes him sick because he can’t even reliably provide that to us, the wealthiest state of the union.
HAH! Our governor outlawed CARS! LOL! Actual cars are slated to be illegal. Can’t stop laughing. That’s after 6 months of of work and play and school being outlawed. LOL! I’m serious, this actually happened. No joke. Fucking restaurants are mandated to only serve food outside and at a max of 25% capacity. I’m not kidding. There are women who are getting their hair done in the middle of the fucking street. I wish it were not true, I really do.
My guess is it gets postponed.
It funny as hell to me that you guys can’t keep the lights as it stands now, but more electric cars won’t be problematic.
It’s the first time, in the history of first times, anywhere in the world, that cars, CARS! have been outlawed entirely. I fucking live here. CARS! In Los Angeles, it will be illegal to buy a fucking CAR!
Let him enforce it..
Get out of there, man.
I’m thinking ’bout getting into the car smuggling business.
My guess is it’s a grift, in addition to it won’t actually happen.
Leave now, MI isnt that bad
That’s what you said about BH city.
Bullhead is a wretched hive of scum and villainy, I didnt know

The dingleberry governors circling Newsom are eager to get on board with that mandate as well.
I wish all of these asshoes would take that one last plastic bag, throw it over their head, grab both sides and twist.
I’m not joking. We have a time slated for when cars, CARS, will be prohibited. Seriously. Fucking CARS!
2035. Newsome will long since have squandered all this stolen tax payer money. And that will be putt off again until 2050. But in the meantime, president AOC will have banned all means of travel nationally, except walking and you’ll need a zero emissions sticker on your back and front sides to be allowed to walk.
I assume there will be a mandatory
compensated confiscationbuy-back. You know, like with guns.Meh, he’s only banning gas cars. Buy a Tesla, DUH.
Yes, the magic pixies that drive them just come out of the wall.
Americans love their cars. You really think the majority of 435 congressional districts will stand for their congressman voting to ban automobiles?
This is Los Angeles, we don’t love our cars (although I do) we NEED them. There’s no other way.
It’s like you haven’t even seen Blade Runner.
Only need 50% of that 435. And yes.
California claims they aren’t banning cars because they’re just banning the sale of new gas cars. Unsaid is they probably won’t allow the import & registration from other states of 2036 or later model cars. And put pressure to take older gas cars off the roads and shut gas stations down so it’s more inconvenient for drivers.
Obviously, Gustave is a west coast type. Seen it a hundred times.
Yep. Look at CARB compliant outdoor power equipment.
That greaseball needs to get impeached. He pulled an executive order out his ass on that. I imagine it won’t stand, but he is just moving the Overton window. Damn I cannot stand the sight or sound of that pretentious bastard.
I expect that stupidity out of Sacramento. But he didn’t even do it through Sacramento – it was pure governor diktat.
Why do we even have a legislature if Newsom can do whatever he wants anyway?

Dare to keep your kids off Glibs.
Trump wins electoral college and loses popular vote, left coast secedes, dogs and cats sleeping together, mass hysteria. Regardless of who wins, were in for some problems.
Sadly, weapons will be involved
The only way he wins the pop vote is by cheating. Judging from the size of the respective candidates rallies and the respective supporters enthusiasm the pop vote for Trump will be a bigger landslide than the EC vote if it were a clean vote.
The leftists know this and have all along, thus the plan for mail in voting. It is a transparent straight-up plan to win by fraud. It is their only chance, but the country is so divided now I dont think it matters if the candidates accept the outcome, a more than insignificant number of citizens will not.
Secret Service better be particularly vigilant if 2nd term happens.

https://www.illinoispolicy.org/pritzker-administration-threatens-20-tax-hike-on-everyone-regardless-of-their-level-of-income/
Is it bad that I hope this happens? Not because I hate Illinoisans, and not because I hate Pritzker personally. It’s because I think we (the People) have been getting away with actions without consequences for too long. And I really would like to see an entire state government collapse because of insolvency – like Puerto Rico did, except with no bailout. All I can think of is Maggie Thatcher’s quote: “The problem with socialism is eventually you run out of other people’s money.” I want to see the Progs explain away the complete insolvency of a state that has been controlled by one party for almost a century? (it might be longer or slightly shorter; I can’t be bothered to look). I hope Illinois taxes everyone, crushed them under impossible debt, and tries to explain how this is the republicans fault, or systemic racism, or whatever. I want the reality to hit home hard.
It’s why I get a little gleeful hearing of Commiefornia falling apart. I lived there and have a lot of friends there – but they’re fucked politically. And I hope it goes completely insolvent. IT’s been gliding along on the wealth and excess of the producers for too long. I want to see the full-blown Ayn Rand dystopia – which they are rapidly heading for. Not because I hate anyone there, but for the same reason I’m not disturbed when my kid or cat goes near the hot stove. I mean, I try to make sure there’s no boiling pot of water around, but when kids and cats play around flames and won’t listen to “don’t touch that”, I’m kinda smilin’ when they find out the same way I did – the hard way.
After all these years I’ve concluded there simply is no other way to learn. There’s only one way: the hard way. No on fucking listens; no one heeds the lessons of their parents, grandparents, or history. It’s just what and who we are. So fuck it – bring on the hot stove. Let ’em find out why we said “don’t fucking do that!!!” And then let’s see if they learn.
The low info voter…the ones who really decide elections…will fall for it when Dems in Illinois and other states say their governor was fooled into strict Commievirus shutdowns because Trump and his CDC minions failed to tell the scientific truth, failed to have a crapton of tests immediately available, and failed to spend any money to fight the pandemic until it had already ruined the economy. I wouldn’t be at all surprised that a story will circulate that Trump and the greedy pharma folks had a vaccine all along but didn’t release it until they could quadruple their profits.
But big pharma has promised to provide all the vaccines at cost, so it will be hard to argue they did it only for profits.
Cost plus has made public utilities lots of money over the years.
It isn’t bad at all. The current deficit spending seen at all levels of government is inter-generational theft. People are spending money that they will never pay off. The people who will be asked to shoulder the burden of the debt and decisions being made today aren’t even old enough to vote. May not even be born yet. It is taxation without representation.
I am fairly sure it will come to that. The average person is willfully blind that they are voting for the worst kinds of sociopathic grifters precisely because they love the honeyed promises of no consequences from those same grifters.
Eventually reality is going to win.
They will learn or die.
Yup, but I’ll tell you this, there’s very few Biden yard signs here. Like almost none. We had a couple of hundred vehicles in our Trump parade, right here in the San Fernando Valley! Only a few shots fired at them, too.
Mostly peaceful shots fired. Shots are being fired right now about a half a mile away but it is at bears. Duck fellow Bearglibs!
Nelson laugh at the Obama/Ginzburg article. So much schadenfreude.

Breaking through the glass ceiling is not without it’s dangers.
I kept running over this fat kid while playing defensive tackle and in the fourth quarter when I was tied up with the OT that little fucker ran up behind me and speared me. Cracked my ribs. No penalty, me to the EW. There were a about a dozen of us waiting for care, cleats on.
I got home from dry SD to motherfucking swampass Alexandria. INSTANT sweat.
I really need my RV nomad plan to come to fruition, because I can’t take much more of this horseshit. It’s September 26th, for crying out loud. 96% humidity.
There’s no place like Nome.
Men outnumber women about 10 to 1 but everyone has a venereal disease.
Christ, I’ll bet the mosquitos and blackflies carry Herpes.
Ha!
“There’s no place like Longyearbyen” doesn’t really roll off the tongue, tho.
I had to look that up. It’s been posted here before. Festus is officially losing it.
It’s one of my fantasy bugout locations.
The odds are good, but the goods are odd.
It’s not hot though.
Yeah, I can tolerate the 95% humidity when it’s under 70 degrees or so. The fluctuation sometimes messes with the metal rods holding one of my arms together but I barely notice any more.
My shoulder actually cracked when I reached for the keys. Arthritis is a hell of a drug.
Amazon is on to my dirty little secret. I was watching Prime, and it suggested I might like “The Fight if Our Lives”. I watched it, and it was about western values and the undermining of US universities and free speech. It had Victor Davis Hanson, Alan Dershowitz. Allen West—lots of “conservatives.”
So now I must have tripped an Amazon algorithm and I have a ton of suggestions, from Jordan Peterson to Apocalyptic dissertations. Quite amusing.
I had previously used Prime to watch Just Shoot Me, Burn Notice, the Boys…not particularly political.
It must have come from the Amazon record of my book purchases.
It’s somewhat telling that buying books that are classically liberal or libertarian puts me in Amazons “Conservative” box. I guess they’ll be selling that info.
Far creepier is when Facebook has an ad about something that was just mentioned in earshot of an electronic device. It’s happened a few times recently. I get a certain level of pride out of ignoring their suggestions, though Youtube does hit occasionally.
I don’t need suggestions on where to hide a body from Facebook.
I should add that I have not noticed any ads on Youtube based on things said around my house. Just Facebook and strangely email.
It occurred to me that even if we didn’t have electronic profiles being created based on our habits, a post office could easily spot me as a non-leftie because I get an issue of the Rifleman every month.
A dishonest postmaster could make some dough with that kind of information, come this November.
One more post and then I’ll shut up: I find it hilarious that the idiot Duke and Dutches’s of California, er, Sussex Have spoken out on the US election, thus violating the Royal Family’s political neutrality.
There’s actually something about it in the Megxit deal they agreed to in March. Now they’re biting the hand that feeds.
I hope she strips them if their titles. They don’t mean anything here anyway.
QE2 needs to bitchslap a lot of people, but I suppose the only ones she has the power to reach are Megan and Harry.
It was pretty funny when Troll in Chief said “good luck to Harry, he’s gonna need it.” Thus spoke the voice of experience. lol
What’d they say? Urging people to vote? Enact my labor.
The US State Department should bring them in for a consultation and remind them of their agreement to political neutrality – let them know they will be paying their own way on everything including security should they open their mouths in public again.
She’s a pretty enough girl. Maybe she has an extra long fuck-finger for Harry’s nubbin.
She should leave their ‘titles’. I’m curious how the left doesn’t have a problem with no shit royalty. It goes against equality in a much worse way than a meritocracy (which incidentally…. doesn’t go against equality).
I believe they like the way the Royals are given stuff – and generally the best stuff – for no merit at all. It’s the same way they feel they should be granted all the stuff they want – no need to work or even explain it, just have it delivered to them as their right.
That makes sense, the only problem they have with it is that everyone isn’t a royal.
Too many Disney movies growing up…

No police in sight. I wonder if these guys will be prosecuted, since they were endangering other “protesters” instead of just endangering police and random citizens?
How far is the left willing to go?
Whatever your answer, you were wrong. They are willing to go much farther than that.

in an article about “What we know about her” they say this:
“She took a speaking fee from a group that believes in forced sterilization for transgender people.”
They literally went there. In a game of 7 degrees of Kevin Bacon, she’s for forced sterilization of transgender people.
They were only able to find 3 things they know about her. No, not her long legal record. No, not her large family that includes two adopted kids – with special needs and Haiti in the mix. No, not her well written opinions and dissents on issues pertaining to individual liberties.
They found “she’s transphobic by the commutative property of making stuff up”.
And the found out these other two nuggets:
“She has been tied to a religious group that called female leaders “handmaids.””
“She called Roe v. Wade an “erroneous decision.””
That’s it. That’s the 3 things that huffpo says we need to know about her.
And in case you missed it, RBG also said Roe v Wade was erroneously decided.

I think I see part of the problem. Why are you disengaging when attacked by criminals? If they resist, bash their fucking heads in. If they use lethal force, put them in the morgue. End this shit.
They’re waiting until November.
One can hope. I don’t think it will stop then. Maybe the ones that think they can use it for their own limited ends might try.
So… multiple cars are drifting in an intersection … plenty of room there (eyeroll) …. and the crowd says “They have too much space, let’s all crowd in closer. And then some geniuses say “let’s stand in front of this car so if anything goes wrong, we can’t move out of the way…
And then someone loses the use of their lower body, apparently.
XD
No shits given, let ’em have fun. If they die… no loss.

Rolled out of bed around 4:40, wouldn’t mind a beer… does it count as long as it is before 5AM? Just like having a drink after 5 PM is fine?
I don’t know. I’ve never thought about beer in that time frame before.
“I’ve never thought about beer in that time frame before.”
I’ve had more than a few beers in that timeframe. In all cases I was still drinking from the night before.
You’re an adult. You can have ice cream for breakfast if you want.
But should have enough wisdom to realize why that is not a good idea.
It was somehow a long day yesterday. Maybe some residual work stress, plus a toddler who wouldn’t nap, then dinner out with the family…
Basically I needed a beer yesterday.
Sorry to hear that. I don’t want any good people to be stressed out.
Some days ice cream for breakfast is a good idea.

Police taking a hard line.
I can’t really condone what they’re doing in this clip. Seemed uncalled for.
I’m not condoning it. It’s the inevitable result of the extended period of lawlessness and the BLM antics.
It’s inevitable.
Like all those clips you see where some commie is screaming in the face of a cop who’s just standing there passive like a guard at Buckingham Palace? One of these days a cop is going to bite back.
It’s almost like they’re asking for it.

I can not give a fuck about the clip above and still be outraged about the mom being tased for not wearing a mask outdoors at a football game. Two completely different scenarios.
When you go out looking for trouble, don’t be surprised when it finds you.

That may be more true than you intended.
