So we have changed calendar numbers…I still see a vast horde of corrupt, lazy and unaccountable people squatting over us – whether city, county, state or federally employed.

Burn Notice?
The first season, perhaps two, were quite entertaining.
Eventually, the writers ran out of ideas and the show became a parody of itself.
Closing in on the end of my first day back to work after the holidays. I’m trying to figure out how to quit my day job and make a good living selling online courses teaching people how to quit their day job and make a living selling online courses.
I just had to request access to a site where I can submit a form to request access to another site. I too would like to quit my day job.
I’m getting close to having read all of the emails sent to me over the holidays. Probably just another 3 or 4 hours to go.
LOL. Someone’s got a case of the Mondays.

Plot twist: It was in the US first.
The reported switch to a murder charge, which could lead to a sentence of life imprisonment for those held responsible, may complicate relations between Moscow and Azerbaijan.
Just call it an Act of War and being reconquering former Soviet Republics.
That relationship wasn’t previously complicated?
The previous relationship was simple – “You leave the Armenians alone.” Vaguely threatening, and worked for a while.
The Turks messed that all up by supporting the Azeris, who then blitzed the Armenians…if Russia doesn’t get a little something for the Armenians, they will look awful paper tigerish.
I thought the Turks and Russians were all pals now, what with all the Russian hardware the Turks are buying.
That part of the world gives me a headache.
11-dimensional chess
It was starting to get to at least – “Hey, we both hate America…lets cooperate a bit!” Until Erdogan decided he wanted to be Sultan of the Neo-Ottoman Empire.
Well, it worked for a long time because the USSR left all the military equipment with the Armenians. But that was why the Armenians were able to take Nagorno-Karabagh from Azerbaijan in the early ’90s.
But I’d never call the relationship ‘simple’. This has been a shitstorm waiting to happen for 25 years.
Kind of like in the Balkans, where the Serbs got all the military equipment.
This is a thing now because Erdogan is willing to stir up shit.
To add some additional fun to the mix Georgia has been building up their military for the last decade plus, their spending as a percentage of GDP has consistently been in the double digits since the Rooskies got a bit grabby with Ossetia and kicked their tail.
2/3rds of the Georgian Army was in Iraq, helping us.
Even then, the Georgians shot down lots of Russian planes, blew up some ships and even killed the Russian commanding general – they just ran out of munitions, especially the AA missiles. I hope they bought plenty more.
Octopus ‘holds hands’ with diver in magical encounter
Japanese pr0n is getting weird.
Trying to maintain the pixelations with all those appendages broke their brains.
If you maintain your pixelations for more than 4 hours, seek medical attention.
Octopus are wonderful creatures. It’s the only animal I won’t eat because of my own conscience.
I know exactly how dumb and incurious cows are (I still want them to be free range and “happy” while living), but I am unsure of how high the intelligence and emotional development of octopuses goes. I suspect it’s uncomfortably high.
I have other reasons for not eating Octopus.
For some reason the canned pulpo is now “pulpo style” squid.
Whatever variety of octopus gets served at Japanese restaurants is so much tastier than squid I find it difficult to believe they’re both mollusks.
Me too. Well, one reason. They taste yucky.
Is that Martin Mull?
Government functionary from the end scenes of Raiders of the Lost Ark. He’s the origin of the phrase
“Top.
Men.”
Octopus is pretty good imho. I have no moral conscience when it comes to eating animals except I don’t care for waste. I’d eat anything no problem.
If I were a longevity scientist (if that’s a thing), I’d be working on increasing the life span of octopuses and see if they’re capable of language given enough time.
Cuttlefish, too. I know someone who used to work with a lady (I met her a couple of times) who had a pet octopus, and he (the octopus) figured out that he could climb out into her other aquarium where there happened to be some dinner swimming about. Yummy!
But, but, but… Takoyaki!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takoyaki
Didn’t we have a link were octopuses were playing the knockout game with fish as their targets?
They are excellent problem solvers. Go on YouTube and there are many octopus videos demonstrating that they’re a helluva lot smarter than you’d imagine.
Someone in Germany must have noticed because they get one to predict the winner of the World Cup every four years. Dunno how accurate they are.
So sorry, Limey. Feel free to join us on Zooms when you’re not defying lockdown!

Thanks, KK. Maybe one of these days I’ll be drunk enough. I don’t even like being camera/audio with people I know.
Apparently, all you need to do is claim domestic abuse and you can travel all you want.
Domestic self-abuse is a thing, right?
Plenty of people never come on camera and never talk (though a Brit accent would be awesome!). We’re ALL highly introverted.

I don’t think the gov isn’t going to have any real ability to hire anyone. This is an enormous realignment unlike anything we’ve seen in at least a hundred years possibly since reconstruction. The municipalities are going to legit find a new source of income as their won’t be any business property/licensing to tax.
And the only restaurant left will be Taco Bell. We will need to use the three shells because there won’t be any toilet paper left.
So which is more prophetic? Demolition Man or Idiocracy?
As long as I can get a handy and a latte, I vote for Idiocracy
Demolition man is a much darker vision of the future, can’t even fuck.

demolition man. idiocracy is just a blue pilled version of dystopia, human society has always been run as described by that movie. We advance till we become so advance we collapse because we have so much vapid bullshit jobs we forget to train people to figure out how to maintain basic functions. This happens over and over and over. One day people just forgot how the aqueducts worked in Rome. Same thing will happen here but with our electric grid.
I don’t think the gov is going to have any real ability to hire anyone. This is an enormous wealth realignment unlike anything we’ve seen in at least a hundred years possibly since reconstruction.

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger suggested Monday the Fulton County District Attorney could launch a criminal probe into his leaked weekend phone call with President Donald Trump.
Trump berated Raffensperger in a Saturday phone call “to find” enough votes for him to win the state, according to a recording obtained by the Washington Post. The president lost Georgia to President-Elect Joe Biden by 11,779 votes during the November election.
In response to the phone call, the only Democrat on the Georgia State Board of Elections demanded Raffensperger launch a civil and criminal probe into the president. Raffensperger responded on ABC’s “Good Morning America,” claiming “a conflict of interest” would inhibit his office from investigating.
“I believe that because I had a conversation with the president, also he had a conversation with our chief investigator after we did the signature match audit of Cobb county last week, there may be a conflict of interest,” Raffensperger told George Stephanopoulos.
But he added, “I understand that the Fulton County District Attorney wants to look at it. Maybe that’s the appropriate venue for it to go.”
I’ve been ignoring the story because my corporate overlords have informed me that any claims of election irregularity should be ignored.
I had to dig a little, but I found this Rick Santorum quote from an npr interview in 2006.
I certainly hope that the fraction of people who meet his description of “conservatism” is vanishingly small. OTOH, it certainly fits with the “red state” Karen Corps who serve as mask Nazis for their churches and other groups.
What a pathetic excuse for a free American. Surely he speaks for less than 10% of the populace on the autonomy issue.
I’m reminded of G. Gordon Liddy. I saw G. Gordon Liddy give a talk with a Q&A while I was an undergrad.
During the Q&A, someone asked him about his opinions on marijuana legalization.
Liddy said something along the lines of “Marijuana being illegal is good because if you are stoned, you aren’t giving society your best. You owe society that best.”

Skip to the 10:30 mark – since a county was reporting in almost real time you can see the exact moment that somebody switched the votes – a swing of 24k.
what does fact checking say about this?
False – The facts are true, but the narrative is damning.
In seriousness, I’ve heard debunks of various fraud accusations, but I’ve never heard any debunks of the data weirdness seen in various states. Negative votes seem like something that would be an enormous red flag in any election system.
They cheated. Even most democrat voters believe it, they just don’t care, their team won, woohoo! While Rome burns…
It’s a comical level of fraud – they kept the vote totals just switched the names. If it was a Third World country, we’d sent a brigade of Marines and make them vote again.

can’t believe democrats are now way ahead in polling in georgia.
we are fucked.
By whom? They were trailing plenty last I read anything.
just read a poll that came out today but i could be overreacting to one poll.
Pre-2020 election, I didn’t see the connection between polling and election outcomes.
Post-2020 election, I don’t see the connection between voting and the reported ballot counts.
We’re fucked. But the GA runoff will have as much impact on the direction of this country as elections do in China or Venezuela.
I think you’ll notice when the Democrats pack the supreme court and add Puerto Rico and DC as states.
Things that will happen in the 2020s regardless.
Of course. But that will happen regardless of voting. It doesn’t matter how many more GOP ballots compared with Dems ballots are actually cast in GA. It matters who controls the counts and who controls the media who reports the counts.
Everyone always thinks I’m so cynical politically.
Then I come here and realize I barely have my toe in the pool of cynicism.
_If_ the GOP loses, it’s because they shot themselves in the dick. No way Warnock should be close, but i see Trafalger polling put him at +1

Boom!
Feels like this has been taken out of context. Clear from the call he thought the results were fraudulent and asked to be vindicated.

So they ctrl+R Ukraine and inserted Georgia…its the same damn charge.
Do you SERIOUSLY think Trump didn’t just pull those numbers out of his ass? Or did he have a script, because he can NEVER get his fucking facts straight, not once in 4 goddam years of his stream-of-ego-consciousness administration. I totally call bullshit on him having command of that set of numbers – presuming they were derived from… what sources exactly? And how is it that that didn’t make it into the court pleadings?
These numbers are part of Trump’s lawsuit in GA. As has been stated several times. To which you’ve been your fingers in your ears and ranted about PA every time.
And I went back on saying I wouldn’t respond to anymore of your “Cleanest Election Ever” posts. Just ignore the above reply.

Go to the Trump/Shafer suit, and sure enough – they make allegations, and provide NO evidence.
I will stand corrected – he had the script and he stuck to it.
Bernstein for the past four years, has equated any action by Trump as “far worse than Watergate” Can’t find the article right now, but someone documented them all…
NPR reported as Trump attempting to “steal” the GA election. They literally used the word steal.
So the forbidden description we are not allowed to use is used by the media to talk about him.

Setting the tone for a brighter future.
To set the tone for his inauguration the next day, President-elect Biden will lead a memorial to remember and honor lives lost to COVID-19, with church-bell ringings and light shows across the country on Tuesday, Jan. 19, at 5:30 p.m. ET.
The Presidential Inauguration Committee is announcing this morning that a D.C. ceremony, led by Biden, will feature lights around the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool — the first time lighting around the Reflecting Pool has memorialized American lives lost.
“PIC is inviting cities and towns around the country to join Washington, D.C., in illuminating buildings and ringing church bells at 5:30 p.m. ET [15 minutes after sunset] in a national moment of unity and remembrance,” the committee says.
PIC communications director Pili Tobar said in a statement: “The inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris represents the beginning of a new national journey.”
I’d prefer to be left alone to have my own personal journey.

“All 10 living former Defense Secretaries have delivered an extraordinary warning to President Trump in an op-ed denouncing the possibility of the military becoming involved in the current election dispute.
The piece was published in The Washington Post on Monday, following calls from some Trump supporters to invoke martial law in a bid to block Joe Biden from becoming the next Commander-in-chief.
The 10 Defense Secretaries, who are both Republican and Democrat, did not mention Trump’s name in the editorial, but clearly intended for the President to heed their message.
‘Our elections have occurred. Recounts and audits have been conducted. Appropriate challenges have been addressed by the courts. Governors have certified the results. And the Electoral College has voted. The time for questioning the results has passed,’ the group wrote.
‘Efforts to involve the U.S. armed forces in resolving election disputes would take us into dangerous, unlawful and unconstitutional territory,’ they warned.
The 10 living former Defense Secretaries listed as authors of the piece are Ashton Carter, Dick Cheney, William Cohen, Mark Esper, Robert Gates, Chuck Hagel, James Mattis, Leon Panetta, William Perry and Donald Rumsfeld. ”

Off hand i know both of these men served as heads of the CIA.
Anyway where were these guys whenever we hear about the military being needed to push Trump out of office?
It’s great that they warned him not to do that fascist thing he was never gonna actually do.
And they will pat themselves on the back when he doesn’t do it, because without their firm stand he totally would have.
Yep that was my prediction after inauguration with media flooding with articles on how they protected Democracy!

I, for one, welcome our new Gender Cult overlords.
Democrat victories in the Georgia Senate runoff elections would allow Joe Biden to follow through on his promise to sign the Equality Act in his first 100 days as president, a measure that would codify gender ideology into federal law. …
The legislation, as introduced in Congress, states its purpose is to “prohibit discrimination on the basis of sex, gender identity, and sexual orientation, and for other purposes.” If enacted, the bill would essentially codify gender ideology into federal law.
Prohibiting discrimination and promoting equality sound virtuous, but many serious opponents — including a coalition of conservatives, feminists, lesbians, and Christians — warned Americans prior to the House’s vote on the measure that the Equality Act is dangerous legislation that will do anything but create equality. In fact, the legislation would likely force American women to relinquish their rights to privacy, safety, and the ability to compete in sports “equally”
I like how there are lots of “The GOP is just about owning the LIBs” when the signature legislation put out by the dems is just “OWN THE CONS” for no appreciable benefit to anyone.
Ugh. Lesbians are sooo transphobic.
prohibit discrimination on the basis of sex, gender identity, and sexual orientation, and for other purposes
Why, that’s not vague, arbitrary, open-ended or an invitation to abuse at all.
Lol.

house-arrestlockdown again.“Are we looking at a campaign when President-elect Biden becomes president, are we going to need to do another 15 to 30 days, stop the spread, maybe do a partial lockdown — between that issue and obviously what’s happening now?” NBC News host Chuck Todd asked. “And it looks like hospitals — they were overwhelmed in November. Dr. Fauci, what’s going to happen at the end of January?”
“Yeah. Well, I hope we don’t have to do the lockdown because of the — we all know, Chuck, how much Covid-19 fatigue there is of people just really being worn down with this,” Fauci responded. “But we certainly need to enhance and make more uniform our public health measures. President-elect Biden has called for 100 days of everybody wearing a mask uniformly throughout the country. That’s really a good start.”
“The idea about locking down is something that you might have to do, but you want to avoid,” Fauci continued. “In certain areas of the country, such as in California, which is really being stressed with regard to the hospital beds and the personnel who are really getting exhausted with the number of cases that are coming in, you may have to have, and they already have decided, on some form of lockdown in specific areas of the state or specific regions of the country. So that’s not out of the question. We hope we don’t have to do it countrywide, because we feel that if you adhere to the public health measures, you can turn things around short of a uniform lockdown.”
That guy just cannot decide what is what can he. Like a leaf in the wind, whatever will get his jollies off and screen time.

I just received an e-mail from Reopen NH. The planned protest of the governor’s inauguration will happen. The outdoor inauguration was cancelled, but it will be held indoors at the State House with some officials witnessing the event, but not the Legislature like the state constitution requires.
The protest will be at the State House in Concord, NH on Thursday, Jan. 7th, 2021 from 11-noon. Several other groups will join Reopen NH for the protest. The plan is to make a lot of noise so that folks in the State House can hear the protest. Reoepn NH recommends bringing hearing protection.
Reopen NH also released its list of bills they are tracking. The page unfortunately does not include links to bill text. I looked up some of the proposed legislation on the state legislature’s page. Not all bill texts are publicly available at this time. Prout, Blasek, Notter, Nunez, and both Lekas are solid pro-liberty folks, so those bills involving those folks are probably good bills.
If there is anywhere that this movement has a chance of getting any traction its New Hampshire. Unfortunately, New Hampshire is located in New Hampshire.
“Chinese billionaire Jack Ma is missing after criticizing the Chinese government. Wow. This would be like the U.S. government kidnapping Jeff Bezos or Mark Zuckerberg to teach them a lesson.”

I heard about that. Ma may have said something critical to the CCP. That’s practically a death sentence there. They don’t need MA, they have 2 billion people in the country who would love to be his replacement. And there is no mechanism in China to stop the CCP from disappearing Ma whenever they want. They do whatever they want with their ‘comrades’, whenever they want. It’s like a democrat dream come true. Like the Lightbringer once said ‘It’s easier to govern in China.’.
Mà ma?
Except Bezos and Zuckerberg are the government.
fuck the Wut?
I need to stop watching the intertoobs, because now the assholes just outright tell you what they are going to do next. Thanks, Hitler, I guess we’re all getting off the grid soon anyways. And to thinks we made fun of those preppers and off-gridders.
*goes back to off grid Youtube watching*
Just because it would bookend the duplicitiy of the Media, i’m going to predict a GOP win for tomorrow and then the Media and congress spending countless hours talking about how the Election needs to be investigated for fraud caused by Trumps phone call
That would be the first sign that 2021 will suck less than 2020
(not because of the election result but because of all the tasty, tasty schadenfreude)
No, it would be because, for another short period in time, we’d be spared from outright communism and tyranny. Because if the dems get the Senate, they will go completely batshit and the Republic is over, forever.
Look at the optimist over here!
This is why I’m #collapsitarian. We’re on the verge of a second Progressive Era. One senator isn’t gonna stop that from happening. At best, it buys a few years while more and more public school drones get dumped into the voting pool and more and more people who remember freedom and family and God keel over and start voting democrat.
These are the good old days. 20 years from now, we’ll be begging for mask mandates and election fraud.
“keel over and start voting democrat”
My grandparents were Republican till the day they died, then they became Democrats.
Nice wishful thinking. But I don’t believe it. They just succeeded in the biggest election fraud in US history and the mechanism is still in place, and no one did shit about it. Why would they stop now? They’ve had a lot of time already to produce fraudulent ballots and the same machines and poll workers are still there.
Expect both GOP candidates to be winning by a nice margin until about 4am, when they stop counting and in the morning both dem candidates will be winning. How I know this, well, I’ve seen this one before, it’s a rerun.
I hate it when they run the crappy later seasons in syndication.
I’m just waiting for someone to declare that the Democrats got 100,000 fewer votes in the Senate race than in the presidential elections due to voter suppression and demand an investigation into the vote.
I’m predicting a big win for the loony Dems. The Dems have added a huge number of newly registered voters. That, plus mail-in balloting, is game over. I suspect the only meaningful fraud will be at the registration level.
Huh.
Our provincial Premier, Jason Kenney, has fired or demoted seven MLAs / staff members for traveling against health directives during the Christmas holidays:

This sort of thing needs to happen much more often, but it’s a good start.
I’m back from Florida: Jacksonville and Tampa areas. It’s so nice there now. Warm. Also, much closer to normal. We had a very pleasant lunch there with Shpip and Mrs. Shpip. He has a tremendous knowledge of all the things to do and see in Florida!

Moments later, she fell in Willie Brown’s lap.
Dude, Camela is more genuine than Hillary and she keeps two bottles of hot sauce in her purse! I can’t wait to hear HER southern accent.
Can’t wait to for Kommiela to tell about the time she drove down the street in Oakland dodging incoming fire from all the white supremacists who infest that city.
Marshawn Lynch saw it and recognized her, and actually saved her, because she’s such a huge football fan, and also soul food.
Imagine not being embarrassed for printing that.
You mean like being a shameless useful idiot?
How many holes in one did she make the first time she played golf?
I heard Willie Brown got it in on the first try.
All three holes on that course?
Of course, the story she plagiarized for it is also made up out of whole cloth.

Her parents were irresponsible as fuck.
Also, that is total, complete, utter bullshit.
If she’d claimed to have said, “I wanna be in charge!”, I would have believed it without question.
What’s the recent famous lie she got caught in? I already forgot. Before this but after Tupac.
Kwanzaa?
Someone linked to the Seo Linn /Lurgan cover of Wake Me Up. It’s beautiful and I wanted to see the lyrics. HOLY MACKEREL! The Gaeilge must be the root of Lovecraft’s Cthulhu language. Is there another language where the pronunciation varies so wildly from the spelling?

Welsh would like a word.
But yes, Irish spelling got stuck around the year 1500.
1500 BC.
“Welsh would like a word.”
I really do not have a goat.
“Nid oes gen i afr mewn gwirionedd.”
*shudder*
I’ve been studying Scottish Gaelic and the spelling and sounding is actually pretty regularl, compared to English, the thing is that they use a lot more fricatives denoted by adding an ‘h’ to the consonant, (like t -> th in English) and the vowels have different sounds in English, which makes it look hating for English readers to look at.
This is nuts.
