This beefcake kangaroos name is, “Warty”.
Howdy, Glibs! Now that I’m back from gallivanting abroad(not as a broad), I’m ready to provide some hopping good links.
Remember when being a pilot was considered a cool job?
I’m starting to like this kid.
Propaganda, but the dude does not look well.
He’s the super hero we all need right now.
Okay, time for me to jump on out of here.
Welcome back Spud!
Cawthorn is almost certainly a grifter like all the others, but that’s hilarious.
And I’ll take Musk over almost every other billionaire who shows their face in public. Tell me again why anyone should GAF what Gates thinks?
I’ll go off-topic from the jump – have people linked to Khruangbin before? Because that is just spectacular.
Cawthorn is in his mid 20s. I take everything with a grain of salt, and the old Team Red codgers are jealous.
Way too many geriatrics, but he’s still too young to be a congressman.
Wasn’t that literally true – that he was elected before he was Constitutionally eligible to serve (though his birthday did arrive before he was sworn in).
Agreed. Times have changed. The Constitution needs to be changed… legally.
I’m definitely still rooting for Elon to make it to Mars. Even making it to where SpaceX is a regular to high orbit and taking along some tungsten rods might make the conversations with Terrestrial governments… interesting…
I like your thinking Sir!
/Rods from Elon
Both K. Swell and I are big fans of Khruangbin. Awesome stuff.
Yup, dig ‘em. Groovy tunes.
Huh… so a kangaroo is now a New York Times editor?
The short position is apparently confirmed and Gates still has it. $500M on Tesla. Posted it late in the last thread. Would really be curious when Gates took that position, before or after the Twitter news.
I’m not aware of Gates making any fantastic investments since leaving Microsoft. Have I missed something?

Protest tiddies: https://mobile.twitter.com/ElijahSchaffer/status/1517950306981662720?cxt=HHwWgMCypeDw65AqAAAA
Ol’ Putin is gotta be shaking over that.
“Huzzah! Huzzah! Huzzah! It is VR Day! Let church bells ring throughout the land! The Russian bear has been sent back to the woods.”
“Just a second I have been handed a note.”
“Ladies and gentlemen. I have been informed by Q that Putin is not a breast man and that his attacks upon Ukraine continue. I can only wonder why this French protest failed. The Ukrainian Defense Forces should surrender now.”
Nice to see the French ladies have discovered using a razor.
Old school was not that attractive.
Finally. Sixty years of European occupation has had an effect.
Old joke: What’s the first present an American serviceman gives his German girlfriend?
A razor.
Truth is, I never minded fuzzy pits. The Black Forest legs however….
I’m back from travels (definitely not with Spud or as a broad), and home. So I’ll be kicking off the Virtual Happy Hour/Zoom/Article Wrangling tonight at 20:00 Eastern.
The lowbrow joke could further infuriate woke Twitter staffers angered by Musk’s ongoing bid to buy the firm after saying he’d take a hardline stance supporting free speech.
It would be a terrible shame if they all dies of apoplexy.
Re Putin health rumors. Now do Biden, you lazy MSM fucks.
I had a dream last night that Biden had died. Disappointed to find out this morning it was only a dream.
President Harris. No.
Don’t worry. Pelosi is third in line.
You no like humor?
Looking at the photo; maybe Putin is just trying to restrain himself from diving across the table and strangling that guy.
I’m not seeing the “bloated face and neck” but OMG THE SLOUCHING! We’ve got him now.
I got to the range today. Did I take the new hotness? Nope. The second newest? Nope.
I took the 3rd, 4th, and 5th newest.
The good news is that the basic bitch AR is now sighted in and function tested and the Glock slide I assembled works just fine.
Had the first USPSA match of the season. I need serious range time, my trigger pull at speed has gone to shit.
Also, my club is only doing 1 match/month, which is bullshit.
There is a second club shooting it that’s only 30 mins away, I may have to start going there.
Weather is nice but I’m sleepy and lazy today. Should be out doing yard stuff.
Finally warmed up enough to do a little cleaning up in the garage. Started thinking about getting the garden equipment ready to roll. Nic to be outside again.
Started thinking about getting the garden equipment ready to roll.
That’s what I did today. Ended up plowing, fertilizing, and liming the garden so we can finally get plants in. The tractor makes it easy, but I’m still learning how to best get implements on and off the 3 point hitch. My previous way of using a pry bar and cussing hasn’t worked so well. Blaster and an adjustable wrench is looking like the ticket.
I’ve had bronchitis for several days and that hasn’t been fun. Hired out some help today to repair rotten wood and ripped tin on the barn roof and that was well worth it.
It’s nice to see Spring on the farm. The bottle calve heifers are now dog tame and about ready to join the herd in the pasture. Bottle goat also thinks he’s a dog, but will hanging around for the yard for awhile. Looking forward to a shipment of Bourbon Reds and Toulouse geese coming next week.
Who isn’t looking forward to a shipment of bourbon?
As a kid I had an orphan lamb that thought the dog was his mother. They sort of played together, the lamb followed the dog around. The lamb quickly learned to drink warm cow’s milk out of a bottle with a big rubber nipple on it.
I am so far behind this year due to a move and renovations at the new and old house we want to rent so I am finally going to get corn in the ground tomorrow. I never want heifers again. Bunch of teenage girls always trying to sneak out of the pasture. Now goats I will keep raising until the end. They never fail to make me laugh with their constant antics.
I have some yard work I should do, but instead I went for a bike ride, and am now having a twist on a Tom Collins.
Tomorrow, I could do it, but I’m planning on a bike ride and brunch first.
An expert in body language.
Where did I go wrong?

Odds that this will be the last mention of the guy, with no follow up as to why he set himself on fire? Not even a mention of asking if there was a note or some other indication of what he was thinking. Complete lack of curiosity other than regurgitating what is released by the police.
Batman is dead? Oh wait, Bruce Wynn.

Can you imagine the fun their propaganda is having with Biden? And without reaching like this one.
He definitely looks bloated to me, and he’s holding himself like he’s in pain. Who knows, though.
Look at the guy who works in a hospital thinking he’s a doctor. :-p
If you know what to look for, he does not look well. Especially compared to just a couple of years ago. He and Biden are in a race to the grave.
You think Qanon is scary? Things are getting worse – now there’s – Dark MAGA.
No sure what that is? This explains it:
“ Dark MAGA is a post-alt-right online aesthetic movement based around a hardening of the pro-Trump online space, a repudiation of optics-conscious organising that delights in and celebrates violence and the terror that fascist organising might inspire. Like the Alt-Right from which it originates, Dark MAGA has ties to misogyny and trolling and has already seen early amplification among conservative influencers. Dark MAGA thereby provides openings for bad actors, creating multiple fronts for entryism and networking among a broad swathe of violent extremist actors.”
If that doesn’t frighten you, nothing will.

yeah, I’ll stick that right next to the PSA I heard today about some tragic 22-year-old who had covid in Nov and in January developed “long covid”. How tf does that even work, a month or two later?
I want to know if this person is even real because at this point, I have doubts.
I got “Long mononucleosis “ in my teen years. Immune system went wild post infection. Took about 2 years to stabilize. Some viruses can do that to some people.
Same with influenza sometimes. Or recovering from a serious bout of pneumonia.
hm, ok. My impression with ‘long covid’ before this was that the symptoms would keep lingering, not that there was a recovery then it comes back. But humans are weird. I still object to them fearmongering with it though.
That is wonderful, but this link from the article is truly inspiring.
https://ctc.westpoint.edu/the-iron-march-forum-and-the-evolution-of-the-skull-mask-neo-fascist-network/
The network’s transition from activism to terrorism was facilitated by the introduction of violent ritualistic initiation practices derived from the writings of the Order of Nine Angles, which helped to habituate members to violence as well as to create a sense of shared membership in a militant elite.
Wouldn’t a far right group be the order of 90° Angles?
Meh, what were the Saxons – chopped liver?
More like Leberkäs.
A hardcore group of angles? That’s so acute!
Pretty impressive. Goes on for pages describing any number of groups. I see nothing about any of them DOING anything.
Also, noticed a new word in both articles “accelerationist”. Guess they’ve infiltrated drag racing now.
It’s a beautiful night in Texas. Backyard looks like Better Homes and Gardens. I have a cigar and whiskey. Magnificent.
Mother Nature just dropped some extra protein in my whiskey. As if she knew I needed a snack.
And I get accused of phrasing.

Standard Momoko on variety/aidoru show, but wait, those background dancers…?
I’ve seen lots of US small college sweatshirts on many current female Japanese singers.
Last one I saw was an AKB48 video.
I’m curious how the USC and Tennessee cheerleader squads ended up together at the same time. There’s got to be a backstory to that.
Heh. Didn’t know they were still around. They were the std tool in many old Brit car factory-supplied tool kits. Still have the scar from the using original jack on the Healey. The dents on the frame from the jack are also still there. Originals go for a pretty pence as most got chucked out for Craftsman or something else decent.
First Blank President
The first blank president would have no face, and hence could not talk and constantly get in trouble. The blank president would last a full eight years in office and leave with the highest approval ratings ever.
I figured the first blank president was on Match Game.

I am not LDS, but an interesting aspect of their teachings is that everybody goes to some sort of heaven. Even people who go to hell get a chance to escape and go to heaven. Only members of the church in good standing get the “best” heaven—your own planet.

Great Formula 1 sprint race today in Italy. I’m really digging the format. They introduced it last year and it happens several times a season. They do a regular qualifying session to determine grid order for the sprint, which is a shorter race (about a third of the laps of a Grand Prix) that gives both championship points and determines the grid order for the GP. The Italian Imola GP should be a good race tomorrow. It is the track where the great Ayrton Senna met his end, back when it was known as the San Marino GP. The new formula for the cars has made for some excellent races so far this season and shaken things up quite a bit.
I imagine slumbrew is happy too.
Yeah, I’m sure slum will be tuned in. I’d never imagined I would get so into an auto racing sport. As a kid I liked the spectacle of he Monaco GP, but never really followed the sport until a few years back. I just really dig the different tracks and the strategies that they have to vary by location. Especially when the woke virus took hold in sports, it avoided most of it.
Yep, I’ll be watching/ rowing!
Like you I’m surprised I’m so into auto racing.
The sprint was great – I’m really digging the format.
Psyched to see K-Mag pull out a point there and just a masterful recovery from a bad start by Verstappen.
The Haas turnaround has been great to watch, and I’m also a K Mag fan so it’s good to see him back in the sport and doing well. I’m really surprised about Mercedes not being in competition this year, thought they would have the car dialed in by now. And yeah, yesterday was an example of why I dig Verstappen, just a fantastic driver that knows when to make the move. Enjoy the race and the row!
I’ve already booked a day trip to Stonehenge/Salisbury from London. I still want to visit Bath, Brighton and Cambridge. The train tickets are pricey and they want you to book them in advance. And the private UK railroads’ websites refuse to accept payment if you don’t have a UK billing address and phone number. Third-party websites save the day… for a fee.
I always wanted to go to the United Kingdom.
I haven’t been following your travel posts. I assume you visited the Tower, took the Jack the Ripper tour, and all that?
Yeah, I spent more than a week vacationing in London several years ago. I visited most of the must-sees.
Stonehenge was surprisingly impressive. Haven’t been since they built the new facilities though.

A fake vaccine card for a fake vaccine, hilarious.
But we’re in the eleventieth wave! Why do you hate children?
I didn’t think we got past Seven.
Frankly, I think those of us who oppose the coronapanic measures should be much more forthright about saying the people implementing them actively hate the children. Mind-fucking the children into believing they’re disease vectors who could kill their grandparents by doing the littlest wrong thing is almost as bad as brainwashing them to believe they were sexually molested the way that Scott Harshbarger and Martha Coakley (among others) did.
Because fuck you, that’s why.
Good morning, 4(20), Sean, Tundy & homey!
Another beautiful morning at Tranquility Base! Sunshine, birdies, hot chai latte, early morning Glibs, AND choral music on the satellite radio! This follows last night’s happy andouille-nee roast.

I’m getting close to being done with them.
