Vegan Twitter is going insane(r).
IF YOU’RE VEGAN YOU NEED TO REALIZE THAT ALOT OF THE FOODS WE EAT ARE ETHNIC IN ORIGIN ESPECIALLY ASIAN FOOD. ASIANS HAVE CONTRUBITED TO THE VEGAN/VEG MOVEMENT FOR CENTURIES! UPLIFT THEIR VOICES FOLLOW THEIR YOUTUBE SUPPORT THEIR PATREONZ! BE AN ALLY!

The pillow I shared recently (2 weeks ago maybe?) of our One True God has made it into a Tweet round up of stuff that should not exist.

If I were a groundskeeper at the Lincoln Memorial, this totally would’ve been my hangout.
The Telegraph’s article, How defunding the police in Minneapolis has backfired, has lead to some pretty annoyed tweeters letting the Telegraph have it. Not sure how true any of this material in the article is, but Twitter seems to think it’s a load of shit.

In an article about how masks became political, here is perhaps the best sentence I read this week, “an anthropologist who moonlights as a plague doctor.”

And speaking of institutions doing cool things, UCLA has released the largest digital archive of medicinal folklore in the world.
I have some health issues, and one of them is made significantly worse by chronic inflammation, so I’ve been eyeing this cookbook about how to use food to reduce inflammation. If I get it, I’ll report back next week.
Curious what this peeping tom child has seen.

I want that pillow.
An apartment building near the grocery story I shop at has a Nick Cage towel permanently hanging off a balcony. I find it very disconcerting.
I worked on one of his bikes a couple of times, and again after he sold it.
Yeah, well I’ve seen a whole mess of his shitty films, from when he was losing his hair, to when he started accruing more, so there!
He had a really nice FXR. Nice and basic with mostly performance mods. My kind of bike. Most of the celebs go nuts with a bunch of gaudy assed shit. He also had a Confederate for a while.
And, BTW, when I was a kid there a guy down our street that had a towel with that red bathing suit shot of Farrah Fawcett on it. All us kids noticed it, a lot.
Odd, this post wasn’t visible from the front page.
So, there’s vegan denominations? And I guess there’s sectarian infighting?
Oh, of course

Is it Burgess Meredith?
He was like a literary Hugh Hefner ( in his later days O/C)
At least until he shattered his spectacles.
He was kind of a whore-der.

The lost spectacles were his own affair.
And after all, Hare did have a spare a-pair.

Do you have a synopsis? I’m not watching a 52-minute video like that.
“vaccine passports bad”
It doesn’t take 52 minutes to say that. I have never watched them but am fans of both. I would watch that when I was stoned. I am not stoned at the moment.
The only thing I know about Chinese soccer is that the teams have lately been snapping up European and South American 2nd tier stars left and right, who are just there to collect a spectacular paycheck for a couple years before their vision clears and they get the hell out. The same phenomenon is occurring in the Middle Eastern petro-states.
The only thing good about NPR is the undiscovered music they deliver. (the cynic and non spanish speaking in me wonders if she is singing of communism because I don’t trust them) I first learned about the Black Keys back in the day before they made it through NPR. 1998? Good stuff. I wish the Hispanic Festivals we hosted would have music like that. We get Mexican Polka and I want to kill myself at the end of a night around 1 am. And then again the next day when that is all I hear ringing in my head.
Oh, I get it…if you rub the pillow the wrong way – I mean the right way – the head of Nick Cage appears.
I presume he gets his cut?
Can I get one that’s Nic Cage one way and John Travolta the other?

Lincoln Memorial Article shows us just exactly how “Asshole” is properly defined:

That pillow would go quite nicely with a Jeff Goldblum shower curtain.

♫ I am the morning DJ, on WDBH-H-H-H! ♪
/Harry Chapin
It took me a while to figure out it meant Web Dom’s Browser History, I thought it might be a radio station at first.
For any of you who didn’t understand the Harry Chapin reference above.
I remember requesting that song, which is about an aging and regretful radio DJ, on a call to the local station back when it was on the charts. The DJ answering my call said “No, I’m not playing that”. Perhaps he thought I was insulting him; it’s no wonder it never became a hit, as I’m sure many DJs didn’t want to hear lyrics that rang so close to home, so didn’t play it. It’s not a bad song though, I like the melody of the chorus.
It’s a good tune. Problem is one can only take so much Chapin.
The only Harry Chapin song that I don’t find unremittingly depressing.
I’m impressed you found one.

I’ve always been a big conspiracy theory fan, I didn’t believe most of them but I found some intriguing and some I do believe in. Man it is ridiculous nowadays every conspiracy site is now the vaccine is going to kill you or pedos run the world. Give me the old-fashioned UFO conspiracies or even one world order. Now its all Tom Hanks and Oprah eating kids.
The Covid vaccine is going to kill everyone who gets it (on purpose) theory is especially annoying. I get being skeptical at a vaccine that was rushed to market and all of that. But if the covid vaccine is designed to kill everyone who takes it so the elite can take over or whatever there is a major logical inconsistency. Why would the elite kill all of the “sheeple” who get the vaccine so they are just left with the rebellious anti vaxers. Seems like they would rather kill everyone who doesn’t get it, according to this theories logic so that they could get rid of the troublemakers. None of these conspiracy theorists want to engage the argument they immediately begin ad hominem attacks.
I don’t like to take drugs that I don’t need. Pretty sure anyone claiming that the vaccine will kill everybody is false flagging. Not saying it won’t, just that speculating that it will is only useful to one side in this debate.
Yeah I agree too your first statement. I took the the second dose of the vax on Monday and I am still sick as a dog, never had that from a vax. But at the same time I don’t think it’s a false flag I think the conspiracy theory movement has been taken over by genuine schizos. I don’t think it’s a false flag.
Me too. I miss Art Bell. He could spot a fake abduction story from a real one better than anyone, and he’d call out the fakers.
I used to also like Ground Zero with Clyde Lewis, but haven’t listened in a couple years. His show just requires too much time before he gets to his main points.
That’s the latest conspiracy spin. Super Covid is coming.
Yeah, but that’s the theory Fauci, the Biden admin, and the mainstream media are pushing.
We’ll never be free and clear of Covid, there will always be some new strain taking root in Ethiopia or Venezuela or Minneapolis, always some new variant or worrisome probabilistic projection based on models vetted by experts and it’s just about to decimate Texas and Florida, any day now…
Yeah to be clear I am totally against vaccine passports, mandatory vaccinations, lockdowns and all of that shit. I am neither a covid denier or covid extremists and I make that clear to these conspiracy theorists. But they just can’t comprehend it either you buy into everything or you are a patsy. I hate this modern attitude of black and white buy into everything or you are a traitor to whatever cause. But then again as libertarians, I guess we should be used to it.
I am officially a Covid denier. This thing would not have killed any more than is now being ascribed it, pari passu. Under Obama it’d be a blip, as it had been a blip during his administration. Under Trump, it was the one chink in his armor, the one way that leftists could inveigle voters to cast off their liberties and their prosperity.
Not that they needed much persuasion, but they still needed a believable pretext. The Covid hoax gave them that. This was a hysterical moral panic, and we’ll be generations clawing our way out from under it, god damn it.
I don’t disagree that this was made into a big hubaloo in order to get rid of Trump. If Obama was President this would have been swept under the rug and Fox News would have been the only ones making it into a big deal using immigration as the big boogey man. Not that I am a fan of unlimited immigration, I think its the biggest weakness of the libertarian philosophy.
Only if it wasn’t Obama in 2020. Social media and the ability for large swathes of the ones who count being able to work (or “work”) from home enabled this to continue at the level it has. That wouldn’t have been nearly as possible in 2010.
I don’t know why I can’t reply to you Gustave but you make a good point.

LIBRARY BOOKS YOU’VE FINISHED
I still have the copy of Charles Murray’s Real Education I borrowed eight or ten years ago and never returned. I’m not sure I’m persona non grata with the local libraries for never returning it or for borrowing it in the first place, but either way I don’t think I’m welcome.
“LOL, those paranoid right-wingers calling the BLM founders Communists, just because they are!”

I didn’t hate Doggett as much as reddit seems to think I should. In fact I liked his character and his arc, and his dynamic with Scully.
I wasn’t following the show much by then – he made no impression on me whatsoever.
I am currently watching Godzilla vs King Kong right now and its as ridiculous and stupid as I expected. But one thing really sticks with me. Monkeys/gorillas can’t swim. Also RIP to the 6000 sailors that were casually killed when that aircraft carrier was blown in half.
I am not sure what you were expecting. Being absurd and loud is kind of the point. The previous movie was huge monsters kicking the crap out of each other while Eleven and the coach from Friday Night Lights did something, apparently.
I am just so bored bro, I was hoping they did something to make it interesting. Last thing I enjoyed was the Snyder cut. I really should give up tv entirely it is so boring and crappy!
I miss the early days of Game of thrones.
I lurved S01 – and… completely checked out somewhere in S02 and never watched again.
At least the books held my attention through three or four of them.
Seasons 1-4 are great. 5 and 6 good to okay. 7 and 8 bullshit. Books last two had a drop off but are still good.
I can’t stand the fans though, tons of SJWs trying to either turn the books into a pro sjw thing or critiquing it based on sjw stuff. But they all are sure to say that GRRM doesn’t owe us an ending. Motherfuckers you believe everyone owes you everything but you don’t think this multimillionaire owes us an ending to his cocktease of a story. Sorry I am in a bad mood tonight. Was reminded of my cats being murdered.
??
I really don’t want to get into it, because it really gets me angry. But I had three cats that were probably murdered by a federal agent’s wife that lived next door cops wouldn’t do anything because it was a federal agent. Not 100% sure it was that person myself. But evidence points to it. I take the safety of any people or animals under my responsibility very seriously maybe it’s because I was abused as a kid and this is a huge failure on my part. I always feel like I should have done more. This happened a few years ago but recent events reminded me of it.
I used to live in a rural area and then all of these developers turned it into a suburb and my indoor/outdoor cats were killed, by one of my new neighbors.
I used to live next to a ranch and now it’s turned into shit show suburban mcmansion bullshit of Californians. I live in Texas. All of which are all super liberals but one, in particular, didn’t like cats playing in their pond.
I’m so sorry. I’d hold a lifelong grudge too.
Thank you. The worst thing is not knowing 100% for sure because if I knew it wouldn’t matter if the person was an aristocrat or not.
I dig it, loud and absurd is a guilty pleasure of mine.
The Snyder Cut was pretty good, despite a healthy dose of ol’ Zach’s cinematic onanism.
GoT, the first season just barely kept my interest enough to make me want to check out season two. It ramped up a bit as the series progressed. However, it was more than a little irritating when it became clear that there were a host of interesting plot lines that ended up being farts in the wind.
Both Monsters have killed more people than 9/11 times 1000. Both should die. King Kong is a little less guilty. He would have stayed on his island if it wasn’t for humans but Godzilla might be rivaling Hitler at this point. Still has nothing on Stalin or Mao though.
I think that those movies appeal to the side of me that used to built lego sets solely to smash them. I find it ruins the fun to think too hard about second and third-order effects.
Fair enough I suppose you need to go into them with a certain attitude and nostalgia.

OT – Mrs. Animal and I just completed our five-day odyssey from Colorado to Alaska.
Five days.
Three thousand, two hundred and eight miles door to door.
Two countries. Three states, two provinces, one territory.
Fine weather and foul – we got snowed on several times, several times were crawling on ice-covered roads with snow blasting at us, twice in the Canadian Rockies we crept around crews cleaning up landslides that clogged the Alaska Highway.
And speaking of that legendary roadway – it was amazing. There are stretches of hundreds of miles with almost no habitations, gas stations are few and far between, no cell service, no nothing, no kidding, stretches of a hundred miles or more of a narrow strip of asphalt running alone through a howling wilderness.
Eventually I’ll write up a post on the journey, with photos. Too tired at the moment. It was an exhausting, exciting, intriguing, long, strange trip; we loved it but we’re glad it’s over.
And now, at last, we’re home, in the Great Land. We’re home at last; after all this, we’re home at last.
Congratulations on your move. You sound happy.
Welcome home!
Congrats on surviving and the new home and living your dream. ??
Well fuck.

And my hyper-leftwing step mom blames Trump for this “recent wave of anti-Asian hate”…
I can’t even have a conversation with people who emote like this.
Thanks to Covid, I can only visit my husband for 2 hours a day (and they do fucking time it).
But I have to share: the neurosurgeon just called (at 10 pm PDT): they successfully got the aneurysm on the right of his brain defeated and safely neutralized, using the leg vein tools rather than having to open his skull.
The surgeons found no other bleeds or aneurysms so that is fantastic. Doc says he might have lost strength on his left side; we won’t know for a while.
Wow… that’s both good and bad. Very glad to hear that they found the problem and were able to fix it with a minimum of knife-work. Let’s hope his impairment is small and brief.
Sorry to hear that you are limited in the time you can spend with him.
Apologies for asking because I’m not sure I missed something, is this the follow up treatment from the last incident/admission or a new episode?
Thoughts and prayers for you and your husband. I can only imagine how having a stopwatch just adds to the strain.
oh my goodness. Last I had heard it was heart surgery, and then they found an aneurysm, too? I am so sorry – it’s terrible that this has all come down on you. Hope with orange tier they loosen up the visiting restrictions it’s so cruel to keep people away from their loved one (and honestly allows them to get away with more lazy care, too, without family there to advocate for the patient).
Hope you and he are through the worst of it, and it’s only healing from now on!
Yes, the aneurysm is just a diversion on the heart surgery path.
It’s caused by the same thing: the strep bacteria infected some blood vessels (the vessels themselves) and made them weak. The doctor said as soon as he saw the aneurysm on the mri he was 99% sure it was caused by the strep infection; he’s seen it before.
Because it was due to weak vessel walls, it was also very unstable and likely to burst, so this is a major victory.
They will evaluate everything and possibly do the heart surgery Friday or next week.
Victories are good. Glad to hear.
Whew! Glad this extra little “adventure” was handled successfully and relatively noninvasively!
Good luck to you both! You appear to have a top-flight doctor.
Vegans should be rounded up and put in camps where they are worked to death and served only scraps of meat, eggs, and intensively farmed foie gras. If they don’t eat, they die quicker. The camp commandants would grill the finest meats and the smells of fine barbecue would waft throughout the camp, while videos and sounds of animal slaughter and wonderfully efficient intensive farming were broadcast day and night in all the sleeping quarters. All the disgusting, subhuman vegans would constantly be subject to very clever and totally unrebuttable taunts such as “for every animal you don’t eat, I will eat ten”, and forced to watch as piles of all their confiscated Tofurkey, tempeh, etc, are doused in pig’s blood and gasoline and set ablaze. Libertarian!

Good morning, Yu! (Glad to see you’re back to your old self. Pro tip: don’t change your handle AND your avatar at the same time!) 31°, Mostly Cloudy, feels like 23° here in the Gem City. Flurries predicted, but, hopefully, no accumulation.

Morning.
To my people, saying good morning is offensive. You should greet people with a Good Firsting.
Good morning, UCS! How are you today?
Irritable.
And to top it off I spent yesterday afternoon assembling a lego ship in a bottle instead of cleaning the front porch. So the porch is still in a messier state because the packaging from the first box of shelving hasn’t been corralled. Plus the piece of crap shelves were made in china, which I specifically didn’t want.
First World Problems…..
Mornin U
Mornin’.
The ship Is real
Very cool, must get one, thanks, I think,
If your cat climbs on shekves, you may have to assemble it more than once. 😉
Cool!
And this way, you always have the option of deconstructing it and reassembling it in a glass bottle! 😉
I don’t think I have the patience and coordination to actually put together a ship in a bottle. This one only worked because I could assemble the bottle around the ship.
I’ve never seen that before. Neat.
Sorry about the Sinocrap shelves. They really do make it nigh unto impossible to determine country of origin, don’t they? I was trying to check that while shopping for a phone case and finally gave up.
But a Lego ship in a bottle?? That’s awesome! Pics, please?
And porch clutter can be dealt with in the fullness of time. Don’t let THAT get you down.
Pic
And Without the bottle
Very nice! Long ago, I once had a charming young man of tender years and amazing intellect tell me very seriously that “Lego technology has come a long way.”
Just in case the overnight cold snap ruined the blossoms, I took this pic yesterday afternoon of our (mostly) beloved magnolia fixin’ to bloom. Made it the wallpaper on my new phone, too.
(At the very leftmost edge of the shot, you can see part of the stump from the dearly departed tulip poplar.)
