Hmm, Christmas seems alive and well in Bethlehem.
Whether you celebrate the holiday or not, at least there should be some respite next week. All my shopping is done. SIL is coming to plague my life for five days, and then it’s time to close this sucker of a year out.

“CBS’ ‘The Stand’ Blasted For Not Casting A Real Deaf Person”
The ‘Tommy’ reboot is gonna have a hell of a time casting the Pinball Wizard.
Are they getting a real child molester to play Uncle Ernie?
In Hollywood, that’s likely by random chance alone
The sitcom Mom has a disabled character whose actor is not disabled. If that’s been protested, I haven’t heard it above the rest of the noise.
C’mon! That was a tone deaf decision.
The deaf actors couldn’t hear the casting call.
I bet they used a dog whistle.
My dad took me to see Tommy in the theater. I was 4 or 5 years old at the time. I have no idea what the fuck he was thinking.
Shit, I just realized this might explain my fear of needles.
“I nominate egould for Snoopy.”

The dude in front doing the shrug-dance was always my favorite in that scene.
So the musical group is the Vince Guaraldi Trio, and if you don’t have the whole Christmas album, you must get it. It’s fabulous.
The soundtrack first came out on CD in the early 90s, IIRC (and I frequently don’t): I bought it the moment I saw it in the music store.
Remember music stores? {wave of sadness for realizing yet again that I’m gettin’ old}
*sad sigh* I remember.
I have it playing right now as an honest-to-goodness CD playing through the AV receiver and the built-in house Bose speakers.
I can’t stand MP3 compression unless it’s in a car or somewhere else where the lost data doesn’t matter much.
Kid in the green shirt in the back is moonwalking. Fifteen years or so before MJ.
Fight me if you think I’m wrong.
I think that’s either the Lawn Mower or The Shopping Cart. The entire crew could be Exhibit One in the case against white people dancing. The girl in the green looks like she’s taking off a straight jacket, the twins in the purple are doing some variation of “smelly hippie chick at a blues concert after the Dead quit touring”, Linus and Lucy are the worst of the bunch. The dude doing the Shrug-dance as Rhywun called it is at least trying to do the Camel Walk but he’s stuck on the first two moves. Notice that Franklin ain’t having any part of this debacle.
“case against white people dancing…”
See also: the Electric Slide played at every caucasian wedding reception I ever attended
The kid in the green shirt is Shermy, who was one of the original Peanuts characters, in fact the one who uttered the punch line in the very first strip: “Good old Charlie Brown…..how I hate him.” He disappeared as other characters took center stage as the strip progressed.
The ‘shrug’ kid is named 555 95472, or 5 for short. He didn’t last in the strip very long, as his name was basically his whole shtick. His father, long before Elon Musk, got frustrated with the modern world and decided to give in, thus change the family’s names to numbers. 5 was the third kid, so the fifth member of the family. Their last name was the zip code from where they supposedly lived before they moved to Charlie Brown’s neighborhood.
Bonus: I think 95472 was Charles Schulz’ home zip code in Sonoma County, CA.
That’s… admirably bizarre.
Shermy sounds like a 1980’s hispanic street gang name.

“Will we ever learn the truth about China and the pandemic? Two inquiries are ‘cloaked in secrecy’, WHO lets Beijing vet investigators and it appoints British scientist with links to Wuhan, writes IAN BIRRELL
Explosive emails from a group of top-level scientists and Government doctors in the United States reveal one suggested Covid-19 could have originated from human activities rather than arising naturally from animals.
Another asked if it might have been deliberately engineered.
The documents also show that a key letter sent early in the pandemic from America’s top scientists to the White House had a line deleted that suggested the virus could have been ‘an unintentional release from a laboratory’.”

From Sunday 20 December, some areas in England will enter Tier 4: Stay At Home.
And they won’t even defend their territorial waters.
Britain’s Conservative Party-led government has already agreed to pay the EU a multi-billion “divorce” settlement — despite having paid far more into the EU budget than t had taken out over the decades — and submit the British province of Northern Ireland to EU regulations in an attempt to secure a Brexit deal, but the bloc is still refusing to agree one, with its demands for continued control over Britain’s national fisheries a key sticking point.
Now a report by the Blue Marine Foundation revealing that over 95 per cent of the 100,000 tonnes taken from Dogger Bank in 2017 and 2018 went to the EU in an “unlawful asset-stripping operation” has added a further wrinkle to the dispute. with the NGO arguing catches which damage the marine environment, vital for the survival of porpoises, seals, and other marine life, are illegal under the Offshore Habitats Regulations.
“What should make it even easier for ministers to enforce the law is the disclosure today that almost none of this unlawful fishing activity is actually benefiting the UK Treasury and in fact it is damaging a marine asset that absorbs lots of carbon, thereby costing the UK money reducing its emissions elsewhere in the economy,” said Blue Marine Foundation executive director Charles Clover.

Let’s be honest, the original one was awfully… white.
And they used the “Indian” word and showed Christians in a positive light. So problematic.
In one of the books, there’s a scene with a brief “minstrel show” number.
I’d better get hard copies of the rest of the series before they’re memory-holed.
Don’t forget Ma’s “the only good Indian is a dead Indian.”
OTOH, in LHOTPrairie they had a black doctor when they had malaria. Since they were on Indian territory, I will assume he was a doctor to the Indians.
Yep, he was. (just read that part to my daughter a week ago, and I believe it was stated outright)
So were the vast majority of the settlers, but I guess historical veracity doesn’t matter any more, either.

Started S4 of Mr. Robot. I had forgotten how well done that show was. And I was totally NOT expecting the season to open the way it did.
The girlfriend was watching it, then fell off of it. So it looks like I’ll be watching the last season by myself sometime over the next couple weeks.
Just as an example of how great it is (that does NOT include spoilers). There’s a shot of White Rose who looks out onto the ocean primed by a watch alarm. The camera pans to the ocean for a bit, then sweeps up, revealing the NYC skyline, there’s boat engine noise in the background… that turns into the pedal tone of a version of “Little Drummer Boy.”
*head kersplode*
Had no idea it was still on. I loved S01 but dropped out shortly after the beginning of S02. Got tired of the preachiness. But yes, regardless of the story, it was really well done.
I was really surprised that it had a second season, I didn’t think they could sustain it after the Big Reveal. I was pleasantly surprised.
It ended in 2016 I think. It’s on Amazon Prime now.
The hard-copies are reasonably priced. I’d rather go that route than mess around with Prime, if it’s as good as everyone says. I have S01 on DVD already.

This has come up before. I couldn’t get through the first episode, on my previous attempt. Maybe I’ll give it another try.
I just did Masterpiece Extravaganza “Victoria” in fits and starts. It was actually quite good.
haven’t watched the new run of “The Expanse” yet. NO SPOILERS!
Mr. Robot starts with a slow burn, it’s also probably the most well done hacking in film media. The times they break that (such as using incorrect IP addresses) it stands out (to me at least).
The first episode I saw was E06, the one where Eliot found the chick in the back of the car. I thought it was so well done I had to go back and watch from the beginning.
Episode 1 is completely unlike the rest of the show. I’m convinced it was deliberate misdirection. The show doesn’t reveal itself until episode 3 or 4 — whichever episode it is where he gors to buy some smack.
I’m in the middle of E2. Good story, but the evilkorpurashunz!!! virtue signaling is a little nauseating.
It actually makes sense, trust me.

Bush, frequently referred to as a new member of “The Squad,” featuring New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, has been at the forefront of racial justice protests. She said she’ll use her new assignment to “affirm the dignity and humanity of Black and brown communities.”
Since when is it Woke™ to lump diverse groups of people into one mass based solely on skin color? What is “brown” supposed to mean? Inuit? Sicilian? Malaysian? Ethiopian? Yanomami?
“Not evil White person”
I’m so tired of the fucking racism of these anti-racism racists. I thought we passed laws against this racist bullshit decades ago.
Interesting that brown is not capitalized… what are brown people, chopped liver?
Yes?
I watched Mary Poppins a while back with my kids. It’s a weird fucking movie, although in fairness I was super high at the time.
Anyways, I like the Bert is a nice guy who will not rape you song.
I always kinda like it. Though I hate the plots where the capitalist gives up pursuit of money to focus on things that matter. They both matter.
OT: So in the last article, I made a post with headlines that I made up as a prediction for what might happen if the COVID vaccine turned out to have some horrible side effects.
I turn on Part of the Problem with Dave Smith and he mentions something about Twitter removing “misinformation” about the vaccine, and sure enough:
https://www.engadget.com/twitter-covid-19-vaccine-misinformation-policy-204452958.html
Holy fuck. Reality imitates my half-drunk conspiracy theory. I’m done.
They’re gonna flag you for higher scrutiny based on who you follow and who you like. Then they’ll target you with pro-vaccine propaganda. If that doesn’t cause you to change your mind or at least shut up, they’ll forcibly remove you from their platform.
Oh, no. Not that.
Nice to see some push-back in Engadget’s comments section, though.
As someone looking at properties to buy for the past 6 months, every day, I can tell you something.
People are fleeing cities at an alarming rate and properties outside of cities that are still commutable are disappearing.
There’s really not anywhere I can commute to the offices of my current clients that is affordable except for one place, mostly because of high tax rates. Last week I was looking at a couple of places there. There were about 45 homes for sale there last week. Every single one of them are either contingent or pending. I kid you not.
I have to get out of here to another state, even if it means losing my clients and starting over again. I’ve just accepted that. I have enough money to survive for a couple of years, so I just have to hope for the best.
Where do you live?
Baltimore.
What do you do?
Software Engineer.
So, I’ll just tell you what I’m talking about. There’s nowhere in this state where properties are worth even 50% of the asking price. PA is commutable, but the taxes are astronomical.
The place I was looking is Jefferson County, WV. Everything there is sold, and I mean everything that is in my budget. And that was not true last week. People are running for their very lives.
So why are you? I mean, I get why you don’t like where you are, but this whole “running for your life” thing is pretty much bullshit, isn’t it?
Me, I’ll probably stay where I am and look for somewhere nearby cheaper after all the chickenshits leave.
“So why are you? I mean, I get why you don’t like where you are, but this whole “running for your life” thing is pretty much bullshit, isn’t it?”
I don’t see it that way. Wait until the democrats give BLM and antifa a free pass to riot, loot, and burn every day for free. Coming to a city near you, no later than Feb 2021.
Talking to some old friends back in Chicago, and the reality appears to be that a lot of folks in blue states and the big blue cities are mostly worried about the capriciousness of the decisions that have been made this year.
A friend who owns a bar in Chicago is now having marital problems over the financial ruin that Lightfoot and Pritzker have inflicted upon his business. The idea that this can be fixed with checks and bailouts is a sterling example of the mediocre thinking behind popular progressive policy ideas: you cannot fix this level of uncertainty in the business landscape. It’s a value and investment killer.
It’s hot as hell most everywhere. We sold in the DC area and got asking within a couple weeks. We had a hard time finding a rental in Dallas, as they were disappearing day of. My dad sold his place in Indianapolis in a day, full asking in cash. He bought a place in Knoxville full asking in cash the day his new place listed.
Rock bottom interest rates and really low lending standards are inflating this bubble. I’m not convinced it’s anything besides a bubble. In fact, I think it’ll make the ’08 bubble look small.
We sold in the DC area and got asking within a couple weeks.
To be clear, we sold in April, our house wasnt exactly a looker, and we were asking a lot for it. I fully expected it to sit for a month or more. It had sat 6 months before we bought it a few years earlier.
Wife and I were just looking at Brownsville. Lost of nice homes in our price range. I heard that SpaceX is going in there soon, so I expect things to be moving up. I just don’t know anything about Brownsville. The house we like that we found there, it’s pretty much a mansion and 1.5 acres on a lake, but the surrounding area looks sketchy, yikes.
Brownsville, TX? Hot and poor.
But it’s close to S. Padre; nice beach and loaded with mostly naked college girls during Spring Break.
Ahhh Padre the fuzzy memories I have from college.
Our number one area we like is Greenville, SC. We like Tuscon too, but it’s expensive.
A house down the block from us allegedly went for $1.1M cash from a family fleeing SF. It’s only about 1800 square feet on 1/4 acre with little privacy. It’s nuts.
Damn. That’s ridiculous.
I hope they learned valuable lessons about giving their treasure to government and trusting it to take care of them and think for them.
That’s fucking sad.
The house we’re looking at today ( online) in Brownsville is 4200 sq ft and 1.5 acres. The house is just gorgeous, I mean everything there is top quality construction, including the tile roof, and the paver driveways. I mean it’s gorgeous. $425,000.
I’m seriously thinking about flying down there this weekend and making an offer. Hope SpaceX or someone else down there will hire me after my client decides I can’t work remotely even though I haven’t been to the office in over 7 months.
In the West it’s common for the sketchy and the really nice to be side by side. Particularly in parts of town that were built up one house at a time. A product of no zoning. Two houses down from our very nice place is a rough single wide. Nice lady that brings us a big bag of potatoes at harvest time. As The area picks up the sketchy places get sold as tear downs.
My wife lived in Brownsville in Jr High and it was like that then. Her family was marginal, the people behind were downright poor and their friends across the street were very well off.
My niece’s in-laws sold their very nice house in 4 hours.
Well for all the negative bullshit going on in the world today, I’ve got a 12-pack of Yuengling and the Godfather trilogy on DVD. I’m gonna fuggedaboudit and have a good time tonight.
What are you nutcases doing this fine evening?
Watching old seasons of the Amazing Race with the wife and trying to be quiet enough to keep the newborn asleep.
Worrying about my dog.
Aw no, what’s going on with doggo?
Elevated white cell count, even after a course of antibiotics (with cultures of her urine) to try and clear up a UTI. Didn’t seem to work, even though the cultures IDed the bacteria supposedly causing the problems and the antibios were correct for the treatment. Also has struvite crystals. Vet wants to do imaging (which is fine), but I have a bad feeling about this. Mebbe I’m just 2020’ed out, I dunno.
Wishes and prayers for the doggo.
Thanks, mang. She’s been a great companion these last nine months.
Funny, I remember when I moved to MD to be near 3 new clients I had just picked up in 2008. I knew virtually no one here at the time, and I was super bored. There was a liquor store right across the street from me and they had Yuengling for $14 a case, which I had never heard of before, and which I found way better than Bud or other cheap beers.
I got burnt out on it, lol, and now cannot even drink it. I’m helping myself to many cans of Carlsberg and DAB this evening.
Watching old movies and tv shows. Four Star Playhouse and Woman on the Train.
Drinking heavily and chatting with some fine people.
Passed out hours ago and now having a midnight snack. Passing out again soon. Apparently, I don’t like late nights any more.

Hello Saturday night.
Didn’t someone predict this a couple weeks ago?
https://www.zerohedge.com/medical/who-finally-admits-pcr-tests-create-false-positives
I think it was a couple of months ago.
I know RC highlighted that. Its awesome being here and always a step ahead of the newsroom
One of the checkout rags had a 100 people who changed the world “special” issue. On the cover, among others, Mother Teresa and Oprah. Oprah might get a state funeral, but twenty years after her death, I’ll bet she is barely remembered. Mother Teresa is already a footnote to history.
Mother Teresa was an evil, sadistic bitch who got off on human suffering.
Words can’t articulate my contempt for that woman.
#Metoo.
As a contrarian I should know this, I’ve heard it before but I forget, why is it we hate her again?
I finally understand why everyone here bitches about Amazon’s internal delivery forces. I live where it’s all contracted, and no small metro express outfits, so I’ve been oblivious to how crappy it is. Just USPS and UPS (and Fedex, but Amazon rarely uses them) here. Ordered something for my mom last week. Was supposed to be delivered Friday. No proactive communication other that it hadn’t been “shipped”. Today get an email that it will now be delivered Monday. Still no tracking information and no idea if it actually happen this time.
It grew so fast (Amazon Delivery) that there seem to be broad ranges of quality. Probably depends on local or regional managers and how well they run operations and train delivery people.
The Amazon packages I get usually arrive followed by a text message showing me my package in my porch. I can’t complain about that particular facet of Amazon,
They probably have a lot of inexperienced temps over the holidays too. I hope your package gets there on time.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This! We have what one of the old crones calls “gremlins”. New hires that know nothing about anything. Just being the custodian, I’ll bet that I could run that show with about two weeks of training. I’ve been watching them at their work for 8 years. Maybe I should apply. The pay is better and I have 10 years of experience in warehousing.
15 years of foreman experience, too.
We had a 6 lb pork shoulder to deal with, so we ended up making an impromptu “cook off”. The Mister made crockpot chili and I made instant pot: crockpot Indian curry.
We should be able to survive the winter.
Gonna freeze in in baggies of meal-size servings so that when I want a home cooked meal that meets my medical diet, I can just thaw one up.
I think I’m pretty much done with preprocessed food. Too many “can’t haves” or “don’t knows”.
And as I see that not a creature is stirring, I’m going to listen to an audiobook.
We had to pick up something at wally world and looking at people’s carts I realized how much I moved away from processed foods. Not a fresh veggie or fresh meat in sight just boxes of ‘quick dinners’ in majority of carts.
As a drunkren man howling at the moon after my unscheduled bathroom visit, I demand that my next pap smear be paid for on the public dime.
Western Civilization has crawled up its own ass, found colon cancer, and decided to continue to feast away.
I like that analogy TH.
Ah shit! As if anything couldn’t add to the clusterfuck that is 2020, Judi just walked in the room and caught me perusing Q’s links. “I was just looking! You never know where those links go!” Feck feck feckity-feck. This one is gonna leave a mark…
Heh, been there before. Sorry dude, can’t help but chuckle.
I acted all huffy and deflected to how stressful and tiring work is at the moment but I don’t think it worked. “I never know what I’m clicking on with these crazy Guys!” “It’s a funny Site! We always send joke stuff back and forth!” Spank-bank ammunition for me, Historical Grievance for her, going forward.
I hereby proclaim that every man in the nation wear one of those 1940’s style trench coats with the shoulder pads whilst perusing the internet because Wives are cat-footed and cunning. That door will open when you least expect it.
Twas the 4th one. A blonde with big boobs. Leggy women with dark hair and proportional breasts seem to hate them so. I’m so fucked right now, aren’t I?
‘I’m so fucked right now, aren’t I?’
I’d say the opposite is true for the foreseeable future.
Merry Christmas, ha!
Touche
I wasn’t yanking it or anything. Just bored and leafing through the magazines at the doctor’s office except this waiting room had issues of Playboy from the 70’s.
It doesn’t matter. The WIFE invented Thought Crime, the STATE just co-oped it. 😉
Been there, done that.
Don’t worry, they expect so little of us that it doesn’t matter in the long run.
I don’t care that I have posted this recently https://youtu.be/c8kx5ubiSp0 it matches my mood. Enjoy!
Jesus H. Koresh- I aksually got off work at a decent time. Its a Festivus miracle !

beauty, eh
Which, since its the season, that reminded me of beer nog.
Whelp, off to a cold half of a bed for looking at boobies. Hope you fellows and felloweenas have a better day than what mine will be!

Fried polenta, eggs and coffee is an amazing breakfast when it’s snowy outside. Especially if you made the polenta with some chopped andouille and cayenne.
Im weighing my numerous options, since I have a fridge full of leftovers. However, Spam™ and runny fried AIGS are in the running. With some toasted fake bread.
The good thing about my Sunday shoot being cancelled is it gives me time to cook breakfast.
I need to try making that. Lacking a rather crucial ingredient yet.
Don’t tell anyone, I use plain ol’ cornmeal. 1 part to 3 parts water, boil for a few minutes, then let it cool down and chill it in whatever shaped container you want it to congeal in.
Yes, that is what the recipe I’m looking at calls for.
Because there’s so much water in it, it takes a long time to fry the edges to crispyness, so you’ll probably want to use lower heat than on most things. But it gives you plenty of time to make coffee and get everything else ready while it’s cooking.
