“Wilbur, what are you doing with that rake?”
I can barely tolerate to even look at headlines these days. Team Blue is continuing to spend us into oblivion on Marxist causes and Team Red is screaming in impotent rage because they’re not spending us into oblivion on Establishment causes. Whatever.
Say it ain’t so, John! I don’t think we’ll ever see him as our President.
Justice Breyer has a hissy fit.
This week, in keeping with last weeks discussion on the tune selection, we have Molly Hatchet.
I can’t handle the drama. Omitting one adverb in a Supreme Court dissent is like a full on donnybrook at a baseball game with actual punches.
Horse mouths like the alien creature. WTF
You have never been bitten by a horse?
Bucked once, bitten never.
Yes.
I LOATHE horses with the fiery hatred of 1,000 burning suns.
I have had my ass kicked and bitten a few times so I know what you mean but if you ever get a good one riding is a joy.
. . . but if you ever get a good one riding is a joy.
From my time in Uni, can confirm.
I’ll be in my bunk.
Heh. Hard not to make a joke.
A friend of mine and I went dove hunting near Natchitoches once. As we were walking towards the field three guys were coming out, one riding a horse, the other two walking.
My friend asked them “Hey guys, where are you headed?”
Before I could stop myself I blurted out “I dont know where they are going but if that is a mare I know where they have been.”
All three were silent and refused to make eye contact with us. After they were past us my friend said “Holy shit, did you see that?”
Preach, sister! I’ve been bitten, sneezed on, almost kicked and once bucked by those bastards and my exposure to them has been very minimal. Unless they fear you or know you well they’re big, mean, dangerous animals.
Bitten
Kicked
Stepped on
Thrown
I am so done with those fuckers.
Roach is the only horse I care for.
Pretty impressive that you can get on a boat in Skellige and sail across the sea to another island in the atoll and whistle and holy shit, there’s Roach.
Oh a roof.
When I was about 6, we tried the little rascals thing of having 5 kids ride on the same horse. I was, of course, the last kid on back. Horse reared slightly and slid me off the back. On the way down, the horse broke into a gallop and kicked me right in the forehead. Hard. I know, it explains a lot about me, heard it before.
I didn’t read further because that alone tells me it is wrong.
TL;DR version: As long as the government refers to a document produced and distributed among government employees for the purpose of making government decisions as unofficial, you can’t get in via a FOIA request.

Basically what you said, it’s a terrible decision thought up by the finest legal minds the good old U S of A has to offer.
Wait the 2 dissenters are the commies?
ya, that threw me.
Nobody’s wrong all of the time.
You should get out more.
I am.
Hypes not wrong for once.
Heh.
Yeah, but I read further and got to ‘an ongoing case that was part of an anti-transparency effort by the Obama administration’ before my face started feeling hot.
I am in a really good mood and listening to this and didn’t want to harsh my buzz so I tapped out.
“If they knew what we were up to, they might try to stop us.”
I’m torn. What if there was an entity keeping track of everything you considered in writing and able to use that against you? Kinda like if they were watching everything you did via internet and phone. Like they had access to tracking devices that showed every place you visited. Like the NSA as fronted out by Snowden. Yeah, I’m not torn anymore. Fuck them.
So Breyer is anti-woman?
Of course not, she’s not a real woman.
But maybe he is. We shouldn’t assume his gender.
You have a bright future ahead of you in leftist politics/media, young ‘un.
The left’s manic obsession with transgenderism is is bizarre. Let’s just continue to turn thousands of years of tradition and general acknowledgement of reality inside out in order to cowtow to 0.1 percent of the populace. Besides, a law isn’t needed, as the article points out, Target did it on their own years ago.
*Narrator. It is not about cowtowing to 0.1 percent of the populace.*
That’s the oddest part of it.
It is called demoralization. You scramble people’s brains until they cant tell a boy from a girl, day from night or up from down. It isn’t about kowtowing to 0.1%, it’s about getting boots on the necks of the 99.9%.
What the trannies dont see coming is the firing squads that they are going to face when that power is consolidated. They will probably be the first to go.
“obsession”All identity politics all day everywhere.
The only thing small minds care about any more is who they’re pissing off. . . the majority, it seems.
Both flavors of it: will they never cease?
Wasted an afternoon driving over to the nearest Kawasaki dealer. Not only did they not have the SX subline of Mule utvs in stock, no idea when/if they would restock and no dealer to dealer ordering. Kid in his twenties, had zero interest in even trying to sell what they did have in stock. Ok, buh bye…
That’s discouraging. Do you know the owner or manager?
Nope, but im assuming it’s the business. They’ve given/sold their Deere and Stihl franchises. They seem to be focusing on recreational powertoys. If I’m not looking for ATVs and sandrails to fill up my toy hauler for my weekly three day weekends at the dunes, I guess fuck off.
Should have gone full Karen.
Anything not requiring permission is sold out forever. RVs, boats, camping supplies/spots, etc. If the government can’t prohibit it, people want it. Strange that.
We used old mules at my last job. Phenomenal engines. We would change the oil and the old oil looked as clean as the new stuff did. Had to have the frame welded on one, but that’s because we used them to plow snow.
*sigh* this is why I think we’re going to end up driving 110 miles and paying over msrp.

For those Tulpa who are interested, the Zoom/Happy Hour/Geekfest that goes on every Friday and Saturday night starting at 20:00 Eastern.
The article seems to be implying that this includes clothing. I’ll make the popcorn.
PS. I have never seen toys labeled as “boy” and “girl” aisles in roughly fifty years so I’m wondering what this bill is supposedly addressing if not the desire to mess with kids’ heads in the clothing department.
Maybe for an encore, all the cooter plug and twat diaper commercials will have burly, bearded guys fixing cars and playing football.
That’s very much what it is for. The brick and mortar stores better fight this unless the want even more business being taken by online competitors.
Target has the princess stuff in a different aisle from the superhero stuff, but I don’t think they’re actually labeled “boy” and “girl”.
Exactly. The bill is targeting something that doesn’t actually exist. Unless the poorly-written article is leaving something out.
What is the relevant difference between:
Middle school bullies picking on nerds in the US and Muslims picking on Christians in Pakistan
or
Frisco libs picking on MAGA hatters and Proud Boys picking on Antifa
or
white southerners picking on civil rights protesters and BLM picking on passersby
or whatever other examples you want
It seems like it’s human nature to hate what is different.
All examples of barbarism. Using violence or the threat of violence to intimidate and dominate.
I learned how to handle bullies in the 6th grade. At heart they are all cowards. In the same way that loss of control inspires anger, fear inspires bullies.
So, is everyone in Texas dead yet?
Wait two weeks.
Yes.
On tonight’s Zoom social with the wife and her colleague and his wife (all government employees), I got closer than I ever imagined to having 2 of 3 of them agreeing with me that the state should be abolished. There is hope.

Creepy taxidermy with human faces.
That could be the best example I have seen of people who are so disconnected from the natural world that they cannot understand it. Animals are not furry people. The natural world is not a reflection of you.
The natural world is a merciless place where every living thing lives at the expense of other living things. Remove that from your view as much as you like, it changes nothing.
You’d think these types would catch a nature show once in a while.

I couldn’t make it through all the turgidly gushing prose to figure out the “point” of this.

So, apparently, all along, Pepe Le Pew was a role model, teaching small boys that rape is cool.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9334187/NYT-publishes-column-claiming-Looney-Tunes-character-Pepe-Le-Pew-normalized-rape-culture.html
Or maybe he was a crude anti-Gallic stereotype. It’s hard to keep up with the outrage.
How long before we are mandated to wear black pajamas along with our face masks?
History is like another country. They do things differently there.
Sacre bleu, the cancel culture, she is preposterous.
If we had more people with balls cancel culture would die in a week.
If we had more people with balls, we wouldn’t even have the cancel culture in the first place.
That reminds me, when is the last time anyone saw a Speedy Gonzales cartoon. I watch plenty of Looney Tunes on the old-people channels and it just occurred to me he is missing.
I thought Speedy was the *hero* – he fights the mean old gringo on behalf of his people.
actually i’m gonna give them that one.
I know that most of what I do believe, I learn from looney tunes. Here, hold this bomb for me for just a few seconds!
The show was originally intended for adults and probably sexual harassment skunk should’ve been taken out when the show was repurposed for kids in the 80s. I’m amazed at some of the stuff they left in. Would not fly today.
True story: In France Pepe is Italian, as in their culture it is Italians who are stereotypically sexually aggressive.
Yeah, no. Pepe Lepew goes back way further than the 80’s I watched him back in the 70’s. He was around way before even that. Actually, the eighties is probably the earliest example of cartoons made for adults. Not the other way around.
I couldn’t find *Coo Coo Nut Grove* on YouTube, but Hollywood Steps Out from 1941 was definitely for the grown-ups.
Dunno. All of this shit was normal Sunday morning TV fare when I was a kid. Even just older kids (like 13 and up) would not be caught dead watching cartoons, with the exception of the Fabulous Furry Freak brothers or Fritz the cat and Heavy Metal. I grew up watching the Looney Tunes drink, smoke, shoot, stab and seduce each other. Maybe that explains a lot about me.
Gonna have to side with U here. Looney Tunes started out in movie theaters and were targeted at adults.
The Flintstones were on prime time when that show was new. Definitely targeted at adults.
They’re not wrong.
My wife put on the new Looney Tunes for the kids and I had to turn it off. It’s been sterilized to the point of absurdity. No firearms allowed and Yosemite Sam got turned into a soy boy.
There was a batch of Looney Tunes made in 1980 that I still remember from my childhood that, while of noticeably lower quality than the earlier ones, are still sort of “classic”. The Cartoon Network et al. still show them during their “classic” Looney Tunes blocks.
Everything that came later which I have seen is crap. Even Cartoon Network et al. won’t show ’em during the “classic” blocks.
I remember the episode where he gets covered in paint at the end, and walks away. The female cat he had been pursuing looks at his totally buff body not skunk-striped and immediately gets all kinds of “gotta have that”. Good stuff.
Meh. Peppe was pretty rapey. I’d cancel him long before “Mulberry Street”. Mulberry was published in 1937, when, in fact, most Chinese wore an outfit exactly like that depicted. Even the word “Chinaman” was common usage, and not really racist per se, just old usage that offends modern ears. The black guys in the Zoo book are pretty hard to defend.
Pepe wasn’t popularized as anything other than a weirdo, probably what we’d call a pervert, and certainly not a hero.
Nah, man, he was just trying to get some. That used to be perfectly legal, back then. If she said no and you didn’t force her to, it was all good. Pushy? Obnoxious? So what? Women used to could deal with that stuff, because they just could. I’m not sure why they can’t now. Don’t ask them, though, that’s probably illegal now too.
Man, I just want some pushy. Motorboat some pushy, really get deep inside that pushy. I would go to town on pushy if I could.
I’m good with “no means no”. Its pretty clear. If someone is playing games and means “buy me some more drinks “or whatever that’s on them if they don’t get laid. Guys are gonna push, that’s nature, but Peppe didn’t respect the “no”.

This is why parents shouldn’t eavesdrop on their kids’ classes, they simply don’t have the expertise to appreciate the relevance of bold and pioneering teaching methods.
As a school system spokesperson edusplained: “Two iconic songs were used as part of a 12th-grade lesson about economics, and the teacher provided appropriate context prior to streaming them.”
“The C.R.E.A.M lyrics start with “What that n—a want God? Word up, look out for the cops. .. Word up, two for fives over here baby. Word up, two for fives them n—-s got garbage down the way, word up.”
““Two for fives” was a 90s’ term for crack cocaine sales, two vials for $5.
“In the Lox video, an apparent prostitute in black lingerie starts the rap: “First you get the money. Then you get the muthaf—in, power. After you get the f—in’ power muthaf—s will respect you.””
https://nypost.com/2021/03/06/nyc-mom-enraged-teacher-played-rap-videos-during-zoom-economics-class/
“It’s OK, it’s high school, not college or grad school.”
Basic economics says there ain’t no such thing as a two-fiddy crack rock. Even in the nineties they cost more than that. Ten bucks bought a rock. TEN! It didn’t buy 4 rocks. Not ever.
Market failure!
Needs more regulation.

“First you get the money. Then you get the muthaf—in, power. After you get the f—in’ power muthaf—s will respect you.”

Should have gone with the 10 Crack Commandments. Much better econ lessons.
And just good life advice.
Yeah, maybe they can create a curriculum in consultation with [consults Wikipedia]…his estate.
I’d like to think that a lot of parents’ eyes are being opened to how shitty their kids’ education is.
But we’re manic to get kids back into school.
I mean it’s easy for me to say, I’m a lifelong bachelor with no real motivation to have children, but
YOU’RE HANDING YOUR CHILDREN OVER TO PEOPLE WHO WILL INSTRUCT THEM TO HATE YOU AND EVERYTHING YOU’RE ABOUT
A lot of them/us might have more positive memories of school and don’t know how bad it’s gotten.
Positive memories? Christ, how bad was their home life? Or were they the bullies? That would stand to reason.
Dave Smith made the point on this week’s LOS, this woke shit is just a new frontier for schoolyard bullies to be vicious. And I can’t imagine how awful it’s gotten for your average child, now you’re a target for being insufficiently woke in some ever-changing, impossible to pin down manner. And they’ll come after you right through your college application and job prospects. It’s got to be a nightmare. I hope, hope hope hope there’s a backlash to this retardation, but I think it’s the new normal. Evangelical leftism.
I’m trying not to be black pilled, Lord Malice knows I’m trying, but crimony it’s difficult. I used to want to have kids, you know? I wanted to start a family. I wanted to find a wife who shares my values. I can’t now. All the women got so prickly and selective. Now they want men without gingivitis or crippling alcoholism. How am I supposed to compete?
Man, there’s an ass for every seat.
My high school experience was pretty good. ?♂️
But I liked school. I liked my classes, had mostly good teachers, was not a bully/did not get bullied, etc.
My perspective might be skewed.
My HS was mostly nice people. My bullies, in hindsight, were fairly tame compared to other situations I’ve heard of. Not that it seemed that way at the time.

Eric Swalwell Says He Feared For His Life During Capitol Riots, Almost Had To Use His Nunchuck Skills
I didn’t think they could get any more stupid about this. Is there an award we can give him for this? Maybe Coumo’s emmy?
Great, he knows how to use nunchuks, which means now the Chinese know it, too.
I was pretty furious about the Big Lie being passed around about the Capitol riots, but you know what, I think it’s come back to haunt the motherfuckers. Like AOC crying about Obama’s child cages, it’s nothing but japey hijinks.
The truth is worse, he’s suing Trump and his cohorts for emotional distress or some fucking bullshit like that:

It’s like going to confession, every time I hear them speak. I hope they enjoy the seventeen dollars they get from youtube every month. Jeez!
The problem with filing a silly lawsuit is having to provide evidence. Another problem for Swalwell is having to testify.
I’m trying to get around the not labeling bots snd girls clothes departments.
Apparently this is how we end up with Star Trek next Generation pajamas for clothing.
“Bots” and girls. Lol.
TOS is for boys, TNG is for girls.
But the Rick-rack! THE RICK-RACK!!
I’ll be honest, I’ve never watched an episode of TOS and I haven’t seen TNG since the 90s. But I do watch RLM and they reference it a lot, and I feel like I’m pretty well versed in Star Trek lore.
And yeah, I enjoyed the hell out of Star Trek 2009. Chris Pine is bae, and I’m not even gae. SUCK IT STAR TREK FANS.
The other movies sucked, though.
And Daniel Craig is the best bond. But only the first one he did, the rest are shit. Yeah, Skyfall is shit. I mean, I enjoy it, much better than Quantum or the newest one, but Casino Royale was so good.
You are so, so wrong.
Skyfall is a masterpiece.
But you are right about Craig.
Rewatching the intro to Casino Royale… which is excellent in its execution… but the premise is pretty retarded. Your mark went up the crane? Um, wait for him to come down. Where the fuck else is he going? And you yourself said you need him alive. You threw a gun at him and he nearly fell to his death.
Also, Daniel Craig butches his way through drywall, which I imagine the director thought looked pretty cool, but where are the fucking studs?
Christ, this movie is dumb.
Why are they putting up interior walls, studs notwithstanding, while erection is still ongoing? This move makes absolutely no sense.

Lot of metal deck, is nice, yeah? So good, so good, plenty of ribs, yes? You see where the shafts are located? Very nice, very big shafts… plenty of room for vertical circulation someday, or maybe some ductwork if you’re kinky…
That lateral bracing, though. engineered to perfection, I expect. I don’t actually know, I’m not an engineer, I think it’s Sideplate work but I’m not sure, we weren’t EOR on this job, we had a very small part in this very impressive expansion, but, I mean, just look at those connections it looks laterally stable, an earth couldn’t quake enough to dislodge this frame, not our earth at any rate, Christ how much longer am I on for, listen, folks, the chicken here is great,
I wish I weren’t so funny in my head, I’d be a hell of a lot happier.

I’ve been trying to find informative Daily Mail articles, but with Meghan and whats-his-name sucking up all the oxygen, there isn’t as much good material as usual.
Here’s a study about bisexual women; the lead author is “Casey Xavier Hall, a postdoctoral research fellow at the Institute for Sexual and Gender Minority Health at Northwestern University.” I think it’s possible you helped pay for the study, so you may as well know what’s in it.
Apparently, “…bisexual woman in a relationship with straight male partners are less likely to be open about their sexual orientation.”
And of course “Xavier Hall added that the findings of the study have led him to believe that there is a need for more research on female-female relationships.”
I’m way ahead of him, I once “researched” a bisexual woman (maybe after meeting me, she decided she needed more options).
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9334165/Bisexual-women-straight-man-likely-open-sexual-orientation.html
I’m open minded, and I have close female friends, and can appreciate the look of the female body.
But when it comes to my personal sexual preference, it’s very clearly 100% men. I ding even think that qualifies as “preference “. It’s an immutable fact.
I’ve never liked the wording “sexual preference”. Because just like you, for 99+% of folx I’ve encountered, it is not a “preference”. I don’t know how that wording came about but it’s BS.
Blame Weezer/Rivers Cuomo. The lyrics to Pink Triangle spell it out – “she says she’s a lesbian, but everyone’s a little queer, can’t she be a little straight?”
I always get squirmy listening to that dork work out his “issues”.

Is anybody out there?
If you have Netflix and have never seen it (or saw it years ago) I recommend watching Raw, it is Eddie Murphy at a height of his comic standup genius. I probably like Delerious more, but it is almost as good. It was good to see him make an R rated comedy comeback the past year in Dolemite, also a terrific film.

Ok, we could just type back and forth, here or on Skype or something. Whatever you prefer.
No reason to be sorry, man! Many people get to where you are.
There is a place called “between the bridge and the river”.
They call it that because of the few people who want to commit suicide by jumping of a bridge all describe that as soon as their feet left the bridge, they suddenly realized everything they thought was so big and so bad and so unfixable wasn’t really.
So they only realized it between the bridge and the river.
Let’s keep you on the bridge, ok?
You still there dude? I don’t have your email of number. Mine is hayeksplosives-at-protonmail -dot- com

Hey dude. If there’s anything you need to say that you aren’t comfortable talking with a woman about you can Skype me. I’m just an old guy with his own problems but it’s cool.
Thanks, Tejecano

I believe you have mentioned in the past that you are based in ABQ? That’s my home of record in the US.

Come on, dude. Let’s talk. Do you have Skype? If not, I can Skype you at your number. Let me know how we can set this up.
Hey, CS – let me know you’re there. Don’t just ghost me please.
I’ve been through some stuff myself… divorced, both parents gone, one of my closest friends committed suicide in his early 20’s. In my late 50’s, with two kids to support, I saw my career go down the tubes and I had to reinvent myself. I can relate to bad times. Let me try.
I’m a complete stranger, but do me a favor, take 24 hours to think about what you are talking about. I have lost several friends to suicide, 2 in 2017 alone. It was a very shitty year. I would have done anything to have them back, but had no fucking idea of the pain they were in. Whoever she is, that shouldn’t be your focus. There is likely someone else you know that you can talk to. Maybe a friend you haven’t connected with in awhile. Just don’t do it. You won’t live to regret it, but I promise you’ll create a ton of regret in your wake. Please talk to someone.
Hey buddy, let’s slow you’re roll, huh? Don’t give in to the dark watches of the night. Hang tough, however you can, and let’s see how things are in the morning, okay?
I hope the light of day finds you in better spirits, commodius.
Hey folks, what’s up! :scans a few lines above: Okay.
I’m not hearing back from CS – hoping to set up a way to speak with him.
Hopefully off to the Land of Nod. I’m worried too. This is not the first time.
Yeah, not the first time for him. And not the first time for me to deal with friends in a similar situation.
I’m hoping it was more of the alcohol talking without any strong motivation to do anything.

You need to unplug, C.S. Whomever this person is can’t help you. She has her own life to live and your paths have diverged. Heartbreak sucks and I really feel for you but you need to take control of your actions before the emotions run rampant. Talk it out. Breath into a paper bag, cry like a baby. Release that pent up emotion before it undoes you. I’ve been there, Friend and I’ll always be there for a fellow human in pain.
Hey CS, let me add a few words here if I can’t talk to you directly.
You are going to go through a transition that is painful – but you will get through it. You will be a different person when it’s done. Not the same as you were with her and not even the same person you were before her. The pain won’t be gone completely but it will be diminished.
At some point you will be able to think about it clearly – but that time isn’t here yet.
I think everyone could use a little sleep. Life can get overwhelming sometimes; amazing what some sleep and physical rest can do to help, even to change perspective.
Health and healing to us all.

To Commodius, I spent a month in a psych ward when I was a very young man. I also did a short stint in prison later. You know what I learned? Prison food is better but night nurses are Angels. I needed to set myself a goal. Small ones to begin with and additional ones as needed. One hundred push-ups everyday was my starting point. Sure, people might disavow me as “crazy” but I could still do 100 push-ups every morning. I built from there. You can too.
BOOM. See my comment just below yours about checking the boxes. As many as you can. Has a tremendously positive psychological effect. “I fucking did THAT.” Then the rest of your brain tried to yell and you and say “But it wasn’t anything big!” But no matter what that side screams, “But I DID IT!” always beat’s “I didn’t do that.”
And you’re right. Start small. Super small. But build build build. It matters.
CS: Hey, bud. This has been a rough year for us. You may have read about The Incident that I had, when I got hit by a car and was in a coma. This is my year of rehab and it’s been filled with hardship. The best way I find is to just check off as many boxes as I can for the day and just add up my achievements. It doesn’t even matter what they are. Brushing your teeth is a victory, and those add up. It’s taken me time and I am no where NEAR finished with this shit.
It’s hard, but we’ve got this shit. This is late and I’ll post it later, but please be safe. If you want to talk I am always here. Our Venn diagrams may overlap and maybe we can help each other crawl out of this pit together.
Rest well and I hope to hear from you soon.
You are good cracked egg, Evan.
Keep up the fight, man.
If for no other reason than to remind the rest of us that our own battles are probably trivial by comparison and we need to suck it up.
Amen to all that, Evan.
Morning, Glibs.
And along comes UCS to remind us that the sun still rises every morning !
Morning, UCS.

Love that one! I think one of band members (keyboard player? Sir Not Appearing in This Video?) now plays in a local cover band.
I’m just celebrating the fact that I was able to rise each morning.
Morning, UCS.
How’s things in your neck of the woods?
Well I slept in and feel bad about that, but I’ll be on the road again later and off away for a few days possibly without internet or much time to catch up with the glibs. You alright?
I’m stressed to the point of nightmares and acid reflux, but other than that, I’m fine.
Been there. Do you have any time off coming up? The worst reflux was at night so I found propping myself up with more pillows helped me fight the reflux with gravity.
My only upcoming time off is for a doctor’s appointment, and to help with funerary arrangements. So, not exactly relaxation.
🙁
That about sums it up.
Good morning, UCS, hayek, Ted, & limey. Sunny but a little chilly in SW OH, USA.
?☕
Hello from overcast yet mild Blighty.
19 degrees here when I first looked at the thermometer.
Reportedly 23 degrees, per local TV station.
17 here. wind chill of 5.
The cold isn’t that bad, but with snow on the ground, I can’t really take the dog out for walks. 🙁
Our snow’s all gone. Predicted highs into the 60s for several days starting tomorrow. I’ll try to send some warmth toward both of you.
Good morning!
Down here in Williamsburg, it looks like a good Sunday for coffee and lazing around.
But that’s most Sundays.
My goal is to get text on the page. Don’t care what story, just get something written.
🙂
Funny thing is the email I sent blathering about Rhys is probably more text than the character gets in-story.
It’s a cameo role – the kind where your contract is longer than your dialogue.

I managed a meatless breakfast this morning. Some keto “cereal”, some cheese (Beemster xo & Challahocker), and some cashews. I can recommend both cheeses. This was my first time trying the Challahocker.
Also the cereal is quite good. https://nutrail.com/products/nutrail-keto-nut-granola-cinnamon-pecan
Greetings y’all.
I mean, it sounds good. But why?
#lazycook
Also, variety is important in your diet and there is much steak on the rest of today’s menu.
pork rinds, yogurt and black coffee for me. The railroad never sleeps.

P.S. The majority of the “trauma” has been caused by government shut downs and media hysteria.
P.P.S. Hang in there, Commodious. I’ve been fighting off suicidal tendencies for 25 years. I know it can be exhausting and the despair can be overwhelming. Please remember that you don’t know what tommorow may hold. It just may be worth sticking around for.

More fuel to avoid the real crimes.
I’m curious what number of interns Nancy Pelosi has in her head, because we know they don’t give a shit about dead grandmas.
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/cuomo-sexual-harassment-scandal-may-be-overshadowing-nys-nursing-home-deaths-some-critics-worry
“When I picked my Cuomo Bingo Card, I didn’t see ‘Taken down by a sex scandal’ outperforming ‘Killed thousands of elderly Americans in nursing homes,’ U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., tweeted last week after three accusers had accused Cuomo of unwanted advances.
Conservative activist Brigitte Gabriel agreed it should not have taken the harassment allegations for Cuomo to be seen as unfit to govern.
“The Democrats are going to kick Cuomo out of office for sexual harassment, not the avoidable death of 15,000 senior citizens,” she tweeted Saturday.
While I’m happy to watch the left eat one of it’s own, did Cuomo actually DO anything to these women?
Have they been hiding under a rock the last five years or so?
Up to episode 3 of Resident Alien. So…weird. I like the characters so far, even with the cringe worthy antics of the alien.
My Wife and I are hooked on “raised by wolves.” It’s pretty awesome Sci-fi by Ridley Scott. We finished the 1st season last night. It drug a bit for a couple of episodes near the end and the end was pretty predictable.
I don’t have HBO.
I didn’t until I had to mess with our cellular plans, it just came with it. so….
