“Where are they?” the hair asked fretfully.
“How should I know?” the hat snapped.
“They’ve always been here right after he tests positive. That’s why we haven’t had to announce it before.”
“We shouldn’t have announced it this time either,” the hat groused. The tunnel under the White House was cold and he shivered. “Had to beat the damn leakers. Traitors.”
“Remember when we were chased by JFK rape clones down here?” the hair asked wistfully.
“Yes. I do. Vividly.”
“Remember when the ghost of Eleanor Roosevelt flashed us?” the hair asked.
“Stop. Just stop. I didn’t come down here to have a clip show with you. No cheap flashbacks.”
“You’re no fun.”
“Every day with you is like a bottle episode. I want to shoot on location. I want to shoot on actual film.”
“Where are they?” the hair asked.
“They’re not coming. Let’s go back upstairs.”
“But they have to come. What about the dark future they want to prevent?”
“Maybe,” the hat said, “The future is so fucked at this point we aren’t alive to come back.”
“Don’t say that.”
“Maybe there is no future. Maybe we are just speeding toward a brick wall.
“Stop!”
“C’mon, let’s go.”
They waddled toward the ladder up to the Oval Office and began to climb. Halfway up, they could hear Donald screaming.
“Metabolic syndrome?!?” Donald said angrily. “That’s just a fancy way of calling me fat!”
“Can we go back down?” the hat asked. The hair answered by climbing up two more rungs and waiting for him to catch up.
Muttering and mumbling from above. “Fine, take my blood,” Donald said clearly. “Take it all. I don’t care. I can make my OWN blood. I bet you didn’t think about that, did you, you quack?”
“Get out!’ Donald said as they looked into the Oval Office over the last rung. Donald was herding medical staff dressed in HazMat gear out of the room. “I feel fine,” Donald said, started coughing and then spat into a trash can. “It’s just allergies! I’m not sick! I can’t get sick! Joe Biden gets sick! I’M NOT JOE BIDEN!”
“Donald?” the hat called.
“Friends,” Donald said, “My friends. Where have you been?”
“Just on an errand,” the hat said.
“Errand?” Donald asked, his eyes narrowing.
“I had to pee!’ the hair said. “It’s really messy. I, uh, do it down a storm grate in the tunnel.”
“OK,” Donald said slowly.
“I didn’t want to do it in the fancy bathroom,” the hair continued. “It’s basically like sitting on a water balloon.”
“Did you get cleaned up?” Donald asked. “I don’t want hair piss all over me.”
“He’s clean enough to eat off of, Donald,” the hat said. “I used a whole bottle of horse shampoo.”
“Good, good. Then join me in my quarantine feast!” Donald swept over to his desk and spread his arms wide. “Ooh,” he said, and “Aah.”
The desk was covered in fancy food elegantly presented. A crystal punchbowl filled with McNuggets. Mounds of sauce packs. A pyramid of BigMacs. A gallon jug of secret sauce. A soaring tower of Filet O’ Fish. A river of fries winding through it all, with glistening lakes of ketchup and BBQ sauce.
“It’s just like my dream,” Donald said.
The hat and the hair ambled over to the couch and climbed on to it.
“Should you be eating all this when your sick, Donald?” the hair asked.
“I’m the healthiest President in the history of time,” Donald said, glowering at him. “How many times have I shrugged off the Kung Flu? And doesn’t my herpes always clear up before I catch it again? I have to eat keep my Presidential strength up.”
Donald scooped up a meander of fries, dredged them through a bayou of BBQ sauce, and fit them into his mouth, smiling beatifically.
Alls I need is 18 inches of Firsting.
“Alls I need is 18 inches ”
Too much information.
What sort of hysteria would there be if Biden tests positive now, and they can pin that on Trump?
Hell, Wallace is out there pissing and moaning that Trump endangered both of them.
What a pansy asshole.
They were social distanced. According to the SCIENCE that is relentless pushed by Our Public Health Masters, he’s fine.
I’m sure he’s not questioning the SCIENCE of Our Public Health Masters, is he?
He’s droning on and on about the SCIENCE. We all know the SCIENCE. And the SCIENCE says the masks will save us.
The Chinese were nice enough to build in a self destruct mechanism into the virus that detonates when the on-board GPS detects that it’s moved more that 6′ from its host.
What is this? Who am I? What day is it? A meander of fries? I’m using that.
Extremely suspicious. Who set this up? Who put forth that kind of effort?
Also, I’m surprised that Donald doesn’t get first dibs on new products
I’m going to go out on a limb and guess that someone who puts ketchup on steak would be terrified of trying SPICY nuggets.
Ketchup on well-done steak. He’s literally Hitler.
Well, he’s lost my vote. Where do i sign up to cast my dozen votes for Biden?
Spicy means Mexican. We are building a wall to keep that sort of flavor out of our country.
Does this look like a man who hates Mexican flavor?
Still though, I’m betting the glorious McFoodDiorama is the White Witch’s Turkish delight all over again.
I’m seriously doubting there’s much Mexican flavor in that . . . not Mexican at all dish.
Next you’re going to tell me that chimichangas and enchirito stalls don’t fill the streets of Mexico city. Or that nachos aren’t the national dish of Monterrey.
Mmmm… Chimichangas. https://youtu.be/TeGxk7UTSzs
Everyone knows the best nachos are served on Cannery Row in Monterey.
Some, I assume, are good spices.
Did he get first dibs on the Arch Deluxe?
Or the best jingle ever the McDLT.

That was my Dad’s absolute favorite. Damn you styrofoam ban!
Mine too. They don’t make fast food like that anymore.
That was also in the days when the microwave, err Q wave, wasn’t used for everything in a McDonalds.
Fried apple pies and milkshakes served in a regular cardboard drink cup instead of those stupid plastic sundae crap with whipped cream.
Caution: Filling is hot!
One of the local fried chicken chains here does the deep fried apple pies. They’re not as good, but they’re also not fresh out of the fryer (which is when they were the best).
Fried pies, you say?
That was a decent fast food sandwich, dare I say I miss it.
The bastard lovechild of Willy Wonka and Ronald McDonald.
Chips Ahoy mcflurry?
Mixing the worst mass produced cookies with the worst mass produced ice cream treat. What could go wrong there?
How dare you.
Take one chewy chips ahoy and spread peanut butter on the back. Take another chewy chips ahoy and stick it on the other side. You are now eating good.
TODAY IS NOT WEDNESDAY THIS IS NOT RIGHT

You know… winos.
They do not drink…vine.
But, is do drink vine and eat chitten?

It’s always Blursday now.
Today is Friday. Friday is a fucking day.
Sugarfree is Sutter Cane, and The Hat and The Hair is In the Mouth of Madness. This is reality!

Yes, yes we are.
It’s more like a cliff, into a bottomless pit of derp and despair.

“Maybe there is no future. Maybe we are just speeding toward a brick wall.”
Maybe hat…..Maybe.
If only we had the grandeur of an Adult Swim budget to get Koreans to animate what my mind sees when SF writes these.
With McDonald’s endorsement money, all things are possible.
That might be like gazing upon Cthulhu, no mind could withstand it without breaking.
“I’m the healthiest President in the history of time,” Donald said, glowering at him. “How many times have I shrugged off the Kung Flu? And doesn’t my herpes always clear up before I catch it again? I have to eat keep my Presidential strength up.”
Lol.
Donald scooped up a meander of fries, dredged them a bayou of BBQ sauce, and fit them into his mouth, smiling beatifically.
Ketchup on steak and BBQ sauce on fries? Impeach!
BBQ sauce on fries
You’re probably one of those heathens who doesn’t like dipping fries in ranchup either… ?
Mayo on fries.
Mini potato salad?
I think that is one of the grievances the founders had as to why we declared independence from GB.
ranchup
You people…
Chipotle mayo ?
Call it an Aioli, just to annoy people.
What are you, Dutch?
“I seen them do it, man, they fucking drown them in that shit.”
Peanut sauce on fries.
Now we’re talking DUTCH (East Indies)!
I thought I knew you man.
But at least BBQ sauce on fried is acceptable.
I’m not sure I’d dip fries into a mix of ranch and Round-Up no matter how good it tasted.
OT: The season finale of Raised By Wolves firmly puts the series in the sci-fi horror category.
I was sufficiently creeped out, enough so to ignore the plot contrivances.
I plan to watch the new episode of The Boys tonight. It’s been a while since I watched a show in weekly episodes.
Watched it after work this morning.
*SPOILERS?*
The ‘allusions’ about Storm Front and today’s politics get even more opaque.
More opaque, or more transparent?
well, transparent would be hard to see, opaque is pretty obvious, so I’ll stick with opaque.
But transparent means you can easily see through the allusion, while opaque means it’s hard to tell what they are alluding to.
Bingo.
But, it’s not really an allusion. There is nothing to see through, thus it is opaque. Whatever, I need to go to sleep.
I love Aya Cash, but the whole Stormfront thing sucks.
What ever snowflake. (actual term Literal NAZI
LibertyStorm Front uses along with SJW, clearly she’s evil, just like all the evil people who use those words)I can tolerate it because it’s a variation on the original material, however the Nazi trope is getting really, really tired.
Get some new villains people!
Too bad, I like The Boys, hopefully there’s not so much woke bullshit as to ruin it for me.
Yeah, I don’t like it either, not the least because I didn’t know what Stormfront is/was. That Wikipedia entry sounds super-editorialized, however.
How much of that is propaganda, I can’t tell, but it looks like propaganda to me.
Stormfront is pretty bad.
It’s actually less propaganda-y than you would be expecting from WP. This time.
Stormfront, the actual Stormfront, is a festering shithole of racist asshats. That much is true.
The idea that they have any power in modern society is not.
I thought it was a shitty album.
Stormfront the actual org is blatantly pronazi, right down to their red, black, and white logos that are reminiscent of WWII SS regalia.
That’s their imagery anyway. The actual members are probably 4 losers who haven’t had a job since Blockbuster went out of business.
LOL
I have HBO, I’ll give it a try. Oh, wait, it’s not there? How about HBO Go? Or HBO Now? Is that still a thing? Oh, you need HBO Max? So I have to cancel my current sub so I can re-sub to the same thing? Weird.
OK, so I did that, but there’s no app on Fire TV for it. Let me try Roku. Nope. Well, I can’t watch HBO on my TV any more. WHAT THE HELL, HBO???
The Boys is Amazon Prime.
I wonder if Bezos has minimum woke criteria.
HBO and their constant switcheroos is giving us fits, too.
It’s now an HBO Channel (app) on AMZ Fire.
I don’t think that has HBO Max shows like Raised By Wolves, though.
“Maybe there is no future. Maybe we are just speeding toward a brick wall.
Case closed.
Technical question for the linguistically inclined.
If a writing system wrote words vertically, but connected the words of a sentence with a line across the top of them, would these words be ligatured together? Or some other term of art?
If a writing system wrote words vertically, I’d assume they’d connect the words with a vertical line, not a horizontal line.
You would be wrong. The sentence is specifically described as resembling a line of icicles. It evolved from a form of reliegious writing that was composed in cicles, with the words hinting at the shape of a spiderweb, but was notoriously difficult to use for everyday things.
Shaka, when the icicles fell.
I guess you could say that.
I’ve been worldbuilding.
I’m not understanding your question.
Japanese (among other languages) can be written vertically. You start at the right side of the page, go down vertically, get to the bottom and move to the left and start a new column.
You can “break” at a grammar marker character or “justify” and just break mid-word if you like the whole “wall of characters” look that is a PITA to read.
He means something like Devanagari, except with words hanging off of the line instead of individual characters.
That was one of the inspirations.
I basically collected ideas while binge-watching nativlang videos.
Remarkably easy thing to do.
Got it!
I didn’t come down here to have a clip show with you.
That’d be despicable.
Droooooooools
Love this word choice, given the origins of the word meander. Top notch!
Meander goin’ out to dinner tomorrow night?
So Deadpool: Who dies first Trump or Biden, and is it before or after the election?
Biden. After.
JizzLane Maxwell, now is the perfect time for the news not to cover it.
She hasn’t been Epsteined yet?
+1 Gary Conditt on Sept 12, 2001.
OMG CONDIT DID 9/11!!!! IT’S ALL SO CLEAR NOW…
Biden before and the left goes crazy accusing Trump of orchestrating him.
Sympathy vote gets Biden/Harris elected, triggering Supreme Court case which last for 12 months. During the deliberations, Trump dies.
Biden’s already dead.
Double TW: Breitbart and WaPo
Washington Post Tweets After Trump Coronavirus News: ‘Imagine What It Will Be Like to Never Have to Think About Trump Again’; UPDATE: Deleted
Being diagnosed and having a test come back positive are……never mind, it’s 2020, nobody gives a fuck about reality anymore…
I got the impression that the article was about voting him out. Good timing with that headline though.
Poor timing on that article eh. The article itself was about Trump being out of office. They just released it at the same time news about Trumps test was breaking.
Fact check: false. In order to imagine things, you’d have to first have an imagination.
Vaguely related:
A local place is doing a weekly “Shit We Ate In The 90’s” series – good versions of horrible shit from the 90’s.
First up was a McRib:
https://www.instagram.com/p/CFc5vt1AESA/
which I sadly missed.
Tonight is Hamburger Helper.
Hope they do something with sun dried tomatoes or molten chocolate cake
Back when I was recreationally eating*, I went to a Chef’s Dinner in which everything was fancified versions of snack foods. I hate to admit it, but the foie gras and plum compote pop tart was amazing.
*Saratoga Springs is an excellent place for that, btw.
Oh! Oh! Or those “healthy” devil’s food/marshmallow cookies! WTF were they called?
Snackwells? Green packaging?
That’s the one
There’s a reason I’m popular on trivia teams, and it’s not for the team names I suggest.
/mutters about the stupid bar not letting us be the Amazing Unbreakable Hymens.
Snackwells?
“Zero fat!”
(and 12g of sugar per cookie)
“Don’t know why they call it Hamburger Helper. Does just fine all by itself!”
When it was popular someone pointed out that a package of HH cost more than the pound of hamburger that it was supposed to replace.
?
You have to add hamburger to HH for it to make sense.
It helps your hamburger help you make a great meal.
Yeah without the hamburger isn’t just mac and cheese?
Not necessarily. They make different styles. I know with Tuna Helper there’s “Tuna Creamy Broccoli” in addition to the more mac-and-cheese-like version.
HH comes in lots of flavors. Ask me how I know.
They still make HH (and Tuna Helper).
They need to make Totino’s party pizzas. Back when they were round.
Cheeseburger macaroni? Cheesy hash browns? Stroganoff? Lasagna?
Or is there some generic hamburger helper?
I miss crunchy peanut butter cups.
The ones with Reese’s pieces inside are more betterer than even those.
Hipster bar near us does a homemade Hamburger Helper (Or at least they did in the before times). It was always really good.
I make a beef stroganoff that a (former) friend said was little better than HH. That was the straw that broke that friendship’s back.
I either need to put on another hoodie or close my sliding glass door. IFL fall. IFL it!!!
The girlfriend has already been complaining that it’s cold.
In fairness, it’s in the 50’s outside and it’s been raining for the past three days.
I will never, ever, ever, ever, ever complain about cold weather.
I wish it would rain again here, despite the leaves that need to be cleaned off. Smoke is keeping the windows shut and fire danger is back up to moderate so no gas powered OPE after 1pm.
*sigh*
someday I’ll live in a house where leaving the window to my office open doesn’t mean listening to the neighbor’s dog constantly barking from a few feet away…
fourth time’s the charm? someday we’ll find out.
You need a house where the distance from your window to the property line is greater than the bark carries.
correct, or at least far enough that the bark blends into the background noise.
I’m already girding my loins for that battle. Team Neighborhood versus Team I Hate People
I just bagged a 2 point doe… it was barking like a deer….
Nancy, you mendacious cunte.
“Of course, as with everyone, we all received that news with great sadness. I always pray for the president and his family that they’re safe. I continue to do so more intensified, and I know that he’ll have the best of care, and that’s what we want for everyone in our country.”
Yeah, sure…
“I hope this will be a moment where people will understand that what we have in our HEROES bill and have had in our conversations over and over is, we must have testing, tracing, treatment. We must have spatial distancing. We must be wearing our masks. We must have sanitation because it can help crush the virus and stop the spread. So maybe now that people who see the president of the United States with all the protection that he has and the first lady still having this exposure, it might be, as you say, a learning experience. But more than learning, it has to be something that is acted upon. This is tragic. It’s very sad. But it also is something that, again, going into crowds, unmasked and all the rest was sort of a brazen invitation for something like this to happen. Sad that it did, but nonetheless, hopeful that it will be a transition to a saner approach to what this virus is all about.”
That is impossible and that is why it was not the original premise.
No, it’s not impossible. It just has enormous costs (and not just monetary costs) to do so that Pelosi and friends won’t be honest about up front.
“So maybe now that people who see the president of the United States with all the protection that he has and the first lady still having this exposure”
They’ll realize that masking and social distancing and lockdowns are useless against a contagious virus?
hahahahahahahaahshahahashshahahaahahhaha
Oh, and when did we stop capitalizing President and First Lady, anyway?
New AP style guide?
All of the capitalization resources are being shifted over to Black.
I still don’t know the capitalization rules for White. Black always get capitalized, but as far as I can tell White only gets capitalized if the target of the adjective isn’t sufficiently self-hating.
When they stopped being Black?
Kidding aside I only recall it being capitalized with the last name.
I recall them being capitalized whenever they are used.
Within government documents you may be right – referring to the office. You’ve likely got more experience.
Within the press for as long as I can remember from most publications it was lower case. But this is based on recollection.
I was thinking in the press. But a very quick spin around older news articles about Obama shows its a mixed bag.
Carry on.
Guys! Guys! Guys!
It’s OK. Joe Biden tests negative for coronavirus before events in Grand Rapids.
Now we know that Biden must win!
What’s the incubation period again?
*shrug*
For COVID or Pick’s disease?
For a facehugger.
as fast or as slow as the plot requires.
Will have to check the dinner menu for tonight.
SCIENCE DENIER!
Biden wears a mask, the talismask will protect him from the Trump-VID-19!
There’s no one at a Biden event to infect, anyway.
Biden events remind me of that typical scene in a TV show or movie, where all the old folks in a nursing home are sitting watching TV.
Chris, you dishonest hack.
“Actually a safety person, a health person from the Cleveland Clinic came up to the first family when they were seated and offered them masks in case they didn’t have them and they were waved away. People in the hall noticed that they weren’t wearing masks, and everybody else in the hall was wearing a mask. When the debate ended, Mrs. Trump came over, walked past me. She was not wearing a mask. Mrs. Biden walked past me to her husband, and she was wearing a mask. So there was a difference in the way the two families and their camps treated the health safety regulations inside the hall.”
He concluded, “I’ve always been disturbed, frankly, that people think the mask is a political issue and wearing the mask or not wearing the mask says something about your politics. It’s a safety issue. The best scientists in America say that they’re a perfect cure or vaccine but wearing a mask today is the best weapon we currently have to avoid getting the disease and transmitting the disease. If there is one lesson from today, it’s here is the president of the United States who lives in the biggest bubble that exists on the planet, and he got it. Through no fault of his own. And so the answer is wear the damn mask.”
I think he actually believes it.
What I get from it all is that he’s a giant pussy.
Christ, what an asshole.
“I’ve always been disturbed, frankly, that people think the mask is a political issue”
I’m disturbed that people don’t realize anything mandated by a government automatically becomes a political issue.
Government is just the things we do together. Elections are how we praise the government for being so right.
If only they had worn the mask that doesn’t protect the wearer, then they would have been better off.
Go fuck yourself, you moronic mask cultist. People wearing masks outdoors are subhuman. Those wearing them indoors are cowards at best.
Going to assume this is all the work of a fever fed delirium.
Yeah, that’s probably a better interpretation than my trapped food.
So Newsweek decides to go with a flat-out lie after it has just been debunked with multiple verifiable citations.
<a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/donald-trump-tries-to-court-black-voters-after-refusing-to-denounce-white-supremacy/ar-BB19DhCN?li=BBnbfcL&fbclid=IwAR25nBpsTMg0HTarGPno7wx3b2sN6nJOvQIqz3xSttgLwJu1Zyz9G06bFlE" <Donald Trump Tries to Court Black Voters After Refusing to Denounce White Supremacy
Oops
Will you now, today, once and for all, denounce your skills at linking?
I go now to the penalty box and feel shame.
He didn’t denounce it satisfactorily. So he refused to do so.
“I think I’m getting a taste of what many of you have experienced time after time. You read the report about what you supposedly said and did, and you have no clue what planet they must be on. At least with me, just about every moment of my life is recorded. You can go watch the video and make up your own mind. I feel bad for the people who aren’t afforded that chance in our society.”
I’m sure both of Newsweek‘s readers who haven’t already picked Biden will be very swayed.
My hope is that everyone who says “I’m Antifa” has their house burned down by communists. / Angry Leon.
Would that include houses with a commie living in the basement?
I guess i should qualify. Because most of these people are renters, they don’t actually own their homes.
I hope communists destroy their stuff.
Angry Leon….you mean the Funnerer Leon?
Trigger moment for the day – my son’s Iowa State Alumni magazine arrived. “BLACK LIVES MATTER” on the cover and a sermon from the editor talking about white privilege and for “all nice, white people…not being racist isn’t enough”
That’s the line these days, being an upstanding colorblind citizen is perpetuating racism. It’s only if you become an activist that your racial sins can be* absolved.
*until such a time as we think we can get away with more
Ugh, my mag is like that too. In fact a sociology major used to push that notion in her column in the campus paper way back when I was a coed.
Not being racist is not enough. You must agree that your culture is the source of all evil in the world. Your Traditions and Religion are evil. Your family is evil.
They want you dead, but will settle for your submission.
The Irish have many faults. But instituting slavery in the Americas is not one of them.
Yeah, but Like, The vikings took over part of Ireland, and they helped re-introduce slavery into Europe.
These assholes are going to stoke up racial division and bigotry that far exceeds the wet dreams of the KKK in its heyday.
Nothing is ever enough. Nothing will ever be enough.
If this was a relationship, it would be called emotionally abusive. If it were a business, it would be called a hostile work environment. But for some reason, ‘activists’ are lauded for their shitty bullying behavior.
I wonder if any of them were actually bullied to any significant extent. The lack of empathy is astounding.
Dunno. Maybe. I’ve noticed, in my 40-odd trips around the sun, that marginally oppressed people often become the most enthusiastic oppressors themselves.
They have to be bullied severely enough to notice, but not severely enough to develop actual coping skills.
The more recent ones are odder than previous ones.
Pretty much all university and professional organization magazines I get these days go straight in the trash. They can all get bent. I’m with Angry Leon,
Why do people ask me to take a look at something to see why it’s not working after I told them clearly why it wasn’t already? Do they think somehow that if I take another look, the wrong things will fix themselves? How about just rereading my email and do what I said, not what you think it should be. Let’s try that.
When I worked in a small IT department similar to the one on The IT Crowd, we’d get that a lot. It was like they thought we had some computer magic we could just sprinkle on whatever wasn’t working, and it would make the problem go away.
“Hello, IT – have you tried turning off and on again?”
You have no idea how realistic that is.
Oh, I know, brother, I know. I’ve worked in IT forever at this point.
Early phone-support job for financial traders:
“Is the monitor on?… The monitor. Is the little TV on top of your desk on? OK, turn that on. There you go. You’re welcome.”
The fun ones were the call center folks with softphones, so if they had to reboot, the call dropped.
You mean that isn’t the OFF-icial position? /actual question I have received. Maybe they were joking, it was hard to tell.
Yes. Yes I do.
There are several times I’ve joked that I should record certain meetings because it’s me explaining the same damned thing to just a new manager or team.
Let me refer you to Nephilium’s FAQ…
/gets ready for another meeting with someone who doesn’t understand reporting, metrics, or phone systems but needs these reports to look right.
It doesn’t matter what you report, they will make the wrong decisions based on the wrong interpretation…
That is a must to be a manager..
Problem is, that actually does happen. All. The. Time.
Being a wizard is great, being an unreliable wizard is miserable. It’s the difference between Merlin and Rincewind.
Yes. People have a hard time understanding that you may have the knowledge to diagnose a problem without actually seeing it. They truly believe if you were to look at it, you would magically have a different answer.
“Metabolic syndrome?!?” Donald said angrily. “That’s just a fancy way of calling me fat!”
Lol.
Thanks for the special Friday treat!
NYC gets worse and worse by the day. Or maybe it’s because Canadians are taking all the good entertainment jobs.
NYPD: Actor Rick Moranis Victim Of Unprovoked Attack Caught On Camera In Manhattan
DeBlasio hates Jews. And Rick looks Jewy.
What inbred moron runs the NYPD Twitter account?
Ok, apparently that’s just the “Crime Stoppers” Twitter account, but it still looks official.
Rick Moranis attacked by a monster while walking near Central Park? I’ve seen that movie.
Was it the Gozer the Destructor?
Oh, I didn’t know Rick’s wife passed away. I hope he and his kids are OK.
She passed away years ago. He dropped out of sight to be a full-time dad. I ❤️ him so much.
Read last night that Steve Buscemi’s wife died last year. Don’t remember ever hearing about it at the time.
Yep, in January, IIRC. He flies under the radar. I found out when I was googling him and 9/11.
I didn’t know about him going back to work as a firefighter briefly after 9/11, either!
Fucking knock out game, yo!
Did anyone report the issue with not being able to submit new posts to TPTB?
I sent SP an email.
Yay! It appears to be fixed.
I saw the comment in the overnight thread when I had time to look at the site after I was done with my morning obligations. I haven’t gotten to any of my email accounts yet.
This was actually on me. In an attempt last night to stop people from constantly adding New Project when they are supposed to be adding New Post and then complaining to me that I haven’t scheduled the article that I never saw because it wasn’t in Posts, I was adjusting some user permissions. When I disabled the ability of Contributors to create new projects (or edit their projects or delete their projects), it also took away the ability to do those actions with posts. It turns out the custom post type (Projects) is linked to standard Post types.
Sorry for the inconvenience. I will continue to copy and paste random Projects into Posts.
You could always put out a hit on the repeat offenders.
There already is one.
You advertised total confidentiality! I want a discount!
Everybody panic.
Everyone in the Capitol complex needs to be tested.
Every Republican Senator or staff member who was in close contact with Trump needs to quarantine.
No business should proceed in the Senate until we understand the scope of this crisis.
You’ve got to give him credit for pulling at that straw!
According to this page, 2 Senators and about a dozen Representatives have had COVID-19, what’s so special about the President getting it?
What they really hope for:
And regardless of the outcome of the election the current government remains until, oh, around the middle of January. Plenty of time.
Oh shoot. I meant January 20th. The science is clear on this.
Every “Republican Senator or staff member”? Are Democrats somehow now immune to the Covid?
Nice try, kiddo, but Amy’s still getting that sweet Associate Justice seat.
Yeah, that got a chuckle out of me. Something something not even hiding it any more.
Funny how nobody was saying to shut the Senate down for more than a month when other Senators had the ‘Vid.
Jesus, the replies…
Usually there’s some sanity interspersed with the insanity on any Twitter feed, but not there.
No business should proceed in the Senate
So, status quo.

Just to be on the safe side, can we
extend this quarantinenuke it from orbit for the next 8-10 years?I expect to live another 50 years. Can we please make it a 51 year quarantine?
Sounds good at first.
But if the past several years have taught us anything, it’s that you can vote in new top dogs and a couple of layers under them, but the unaccountable, faceless bureaucracy continues humming along in the background, issuing edicts, eroding freedoms, and saying “No” by default to every request by one of its subjects/supplicants.
So even if we don’t let the Senate convene again, you are being governed nonetheless. Good and hard.
This is true, of course, but every little bit does help!
We need to find a way to stop bureaucrats from getting their direct deposits.
So automation and control plus a reluctance motor = “the world’s first sustainable electric motor with digital DNA”
Seriously, can we just add green and IoT to a lump of coal and come up with a venture stage CA based company? Anybody have some suggestions?
Turntide Technologies Brings Change to Global Power Consumption with World’s First Digital, Intelligent and Sustainable Electric Motor, Raises $33M Including Investment from Amazon Climate Pledge Fund
“Digital DNA”? So, only two base pairs?
You need to put it on The Cloud with an encrypted blockchain.
Let me dust off my legal vocabulary book.
We have to be the change we want to see by leveraging our synergies as informed by the holistic earth-conscious sustainability model, from an organically formed bottoms-up approach that draws strength from the adversities overcome by our rich tapestry of individuals making up our community as we give back and make a difference.
IPO scheduled for one week after Biden’s inauguration.
I think my testosterone dropped after reading that. That would be great in a Biden speech.
boss? is that you?
“Turntide delivers electrical motors that are 25% more efficient. ”
For a lot of applications that’s incredibly important, for a lot of others it doesn’t matter at all.
For example, dedicated pumping stations running 24/7 could use those savings.
On the other hand, portable electric submersible pumps are a shitty application for a motor with built in software.
“Turntide sells motors in form factors for a number of applications, up to 15 HP.”
Ahhh, there’s the pisser. 15 hp doesn’t even touch the largest market of permanently installed motors.
So sustainable up to 15HP.
IOT so it can be turned off remotely during demand spikes when the wind stops blowing.
Muh Russia.
Murphy said, “Well, what I can tell you is that it’s much bigger and bolder and smarter than it was in 2016. The Russians have learned, and they are now trying to use U.S. persons and fake websites in order to proffer a narrative that helps President Trump’s re-election.”
He continued, “I also think that you have to be much more serious about the Russian threat given today’s news. If President Trump can’t be out there on the campaign trail for the next two weeks, then he is going to rely on his surrogates, and, unfortunately, one of his surrogates is Vladimir Putin. So you are likely going to see this campaign ramped up by Russia over the next few weeks to try to substitute for the President’s absence on the campaign trail.”
He added, “My worry is that the intel agencies are not being clear with the American people about the size of the Russian operation and their clear desire to try to elect President Trump to a second term.”
Yeah, Putin totally wants the President that bombed his surrogates in the Middle East, forced the Europeans to start spending on defense again, sanctioned the crap out of his economy, and cratered it by allowing fracking and US oil production to ramp up, to be re-elected. He absolutely does not want to see Harris shut down fracking, wreck the American economy with the Green New Deal, and cozy up to the Russians again.
How effing stupid do you have to be to believe Putin prefers Trump over Harris?
“ How effing stupid do you have to be to believe Putin prefers Trump over Harris?”
Stupid and self hating.
It’s amazing to think that despite how off-the-wall the Russia / Trump conspiracy is, that in reality (like, real reality)!the Clinton Foundation did deals with Russia, and as Sec State, Hilldog gave Russia a bunch of mineral rights in the US.
Pot something something kettle.
Spoiler: Murphy doesn’t believe it.
“What I can tell you is…”
“We’re reporting that…”
“There’s no doubt in my mind that…”
“Experts/sources say that..”
All those phrases are wiggle words that allow you to lie while technically not claiming to be the origin of the lie.
My worry is that the intel agencies are not being clear with the American people about the size of the Russian operation and their clear desire to try to elect President Trump to a second term
Because the national security apparat loves them some Trump?
You see, the handful of right-thinking people in the intelligence services have all been fired by Trump. The rest of them love Trump soooooooooooo much.
Remember…these people think they’re smarter than you.

Hmm. Getting close to assdrugs territory with that one.
I wonder why she’s not using the Census Cowboy again?
Horseshoes are just a conspiracy by Big Ferrier.
Thought: I assume Mike Pence’s wife is going to have to sit next to him while he debates Harris.
I posed a similar question last night.
🙂
In reality, his rule is not to travel or dine alone with a woman not his wife. Mixed company, no problem.
Pence was teased mercilessly by the left up until Tonan Farrow and #metoo. Then he looked like a genius.
Alright Glib gunners:
I have a 7 MOA dual-illuminated Trijicon RMR (amber dot) that I want to unload. I got it for a handgun, but I think I want a bigger dot for a handgun. I got one just like it for the Shotgun of Doom, and I think for long guns it is a very good choice. If you’re looking to upgrade your AR or combat shotgun, this would be one to take a hard look at. It would be an excellent sight for turkey hunting or hunting deer, hogs, bear, whatever with a slug barrel on your shotgun.
The dual-illuminated is my preference because it has no batteries, but is lit by fiber optics and tritium. Works in bright sunlight (even AZ sunlight) and complete darkness. Its brand new, never mounted, but I’ll give a discount off what I paid (I’ll have to check, but it wasn’t list).
Lemme know if you’re interested.
Aargh. Mine is the 9 MOA (linked).
Hmmm… I just installed the Ultimak rail on my Mini 14. This might work.
They’ve got a ton of mounts for it (which are separate). I’m guessing this mount would work?
Let me take a look at it.
I’ll give you five Firsts for it.
That won’t work. You see, the sight is actually worth something.
My Firsts are priceless. They will be remembered for all time.
I have four pistol MRDs right now, so I can’t reasonably add another one to the stable. I just posted to say, if you’re looking for a bigger dot, give the Holosun 507 line with the 32MOA circle-dot a look. It’s amazingly fast and easy to line up.
Wannafud?
/RUN AWAY!
Governor Wolf, state rep share laugh about mask “political theater.”
I’m sure the media will get right on covering that.
Time to bring back the Stocks in the public square.
Sell rotten throwing tomatoes too to raise money toward the national debt repayment.
I would like to hit him in the face with a pie. A feces pie.

“ Trump To Hold Virtual Campaign Rally Friday Despite COVID-19 Diagnosis”

Say what you will about the guy, when God made him he left out the quit.
My kid got in trouble for spelling Japanese “Japanknees” in a chat.
My norm is to jump on my kid because he got in trouble at schoo, but this time I had to tell the teacher I found the complaint to be nitpicky at best, but that I would discuss with him the importance of thinking before typing.
Good gravy.
“Japaknees”*
Why? Chinese are the ones with dirty knees and the Japs are the ones with the what are these.
The whole conversation was even more innocuous than just the word by itself.
Four more years of this. OMG I can’t even.
We’re glad you’re raising the next generation of shitlords.
I’m hoping I can turn out a proper shitlord, but one who can keep his counsel a little better. One wrong syllable, your life’s ruined.
Just let him know that posting photos, video, or even talking about anything he ever does on The Machine That Never Forgets is a mistake.
I have. Repeatedly. Since they were babies.
THE INTERNET IS FOREVER.
Well, in their world, that doesn’t seem like a bad thing since there’s SO MUCH out there and much of it is so awful.
as a bad speller, i kan tel you that this is an esy mistake to make.
“Go fuck yourself, you jumped-up babysitter.”
The teacher was the messenger. “A few” kids were the ones who went to the assistant principal with it. I don’t know what “a few” means. I suspect fewer than 3.
She made that shit up…
You’ll appreciate that somebody typo’d “Moron” for “Mormon” and got raked over the coals in some forum I was reading years ago.
One look at the post and you know it was typo as the rest of the post was completely polite.
I leave the nitpicking to other people who like to get their panties in a twist more than I do. If I saw a post was polite, then I would assume it was a typo. Also, I spent 9 years in a Southern Baptist school getting shit for being a Mormon–from the ADULTS. So I have a far more generous tolerance for it than many/most of my co-religionists. Actually, I just don’t care. Some of it’s deserved/true, most not, and I haven’t been any less hard on the church in my books.
Soooo it’s just not worth fighting about in any venue.
I have not seen Heroic Mulatto since I proclaimed myself Blackest Glib. I can only assume that he ran from the challenge.
You were talking about your hearts, right?
No the infected necrotic tissue.
Did I miss this episode, or will it be some sort of prequel?

You ask that every time.
You’ll go back and read it and forget all over.
Wut?
I do? I don’t remember. I read it sober this time. I promise I’ll remember… until tomorrow.
I’m sure I like the word horripilation.
Post-traumatic memory loss isn’t quite the same thing as just “forgetting”.
It’s like a bad “Groundhog Day”.
That was beutifical, except I spit my drink at “JFK rape clones”.
The desk was covered in fancy food elegantly presented. A crystal punchbowl filled with McNuggets. Mounds of sauce packs. A pyramid of BigMacs. A gallon jug of secret sauce. A soaring tower of Filet O’ Fish. A river of fries winding through it all, with glistening lakes of ketchup and BBQ sauce.
Beautiful.
