SMOD, hear us!
Sorry you lot – it’s SMOD for us all.
Now why I would I be so harsh today? I made the mistake of looking at these here internetz. What I found wasn’t pretty:
- The British continue to wilt, The French continue to be French. (At least the Swiss continue to dismay the rest of Europe)
- The Chinese are so ham handed that the Philippines has said…”woah, slow down here.” And if you try to follow up on the Chinese nuclear “situation” – you find…very little detail.
- Things go exploding near my old hometown.
- Top. Men. will save our moniez!
See what I mean?
I have errands to run, so I will just preemptively leave this here:
*Narrows gaze*
I suppose it’s never too soon.
Hmm, that’s a premature attenuation.
Swiss prefers brief intercourse.
That takes all the fun out of it.
Swiss takes a very broad definition of punitive action today.
Broad view! Meant to write “Broad View!” agh
That sounds a little sexist. I don’t think we’re supposed to call them broads anymore.
Is it narrowed because of the repeated link in the first bullet?
Nope.
Do it four more times, then we’ll have squintuplets.
The Philippines has again suspended a decision to scrap a crucial agreement governing the U.S. troop presence in the country, its foreign minister said on Monday, amid continuing maritime pressure from China.
Counting on Sleepy Joe might not be a good idea.
“Listen, fat. Corn Pop and I bonded over a bunch of Philippine hookers at Subic Bay while on a fact finding mission back in the day. Their hair smelled like Pinoy balut. I’ll stand by my little brown brothers and sisters. I’m going to appoint Hunter as special envoy. You can take it to the bank. Seriously, 10%.”
The Federal Reserve has a lot to discuss this week as it weighs changes to its $120 billion-per-month asset purchase program and interest rate timeline.
What could possibly go wrong?
What recovery are they talking about? In less than four years after Obumbles was no longer actively trying to tank the economy it took a 180 degree turn. Anyone that thinks that will continue under Biden I have some swampland to sell them at a premium.
Is that a reference to how long they had to beat him in order to make him confess?
Well, at least they’re honest and not calling it a “philanthropic organization.”
network… ring…?
Token ring network?
Why come the Brit link is the French link?
Fail?
Makes you want to squint at someone, don’t it?
Communist infiltration…communist subversion…communist contamination of our precious bodily fluids.
They wilted so much the Normans invaded again.
+ 1 Tapisserie de Bayeux
Nope.
One more nope from Swiss and we may just summon SMOD.
Or Beaky.
If you squint closely, you can see it from here!
So long, suckers!
The news just keeps getting worse for Lordstown Motors. The troubled electric truck maker said Monday that its CEO and chief financial officer were stepping down — just one week after warning that the company could go out of business.
Shares of Lordstown plunged nearly 20% in early trading on the news.
Lordstown didn’t give a concrete reason for the departures of CEO Steve Burns and CFO Julio Rodriguez.
It’s a dadgum mystery.
Quick! Someone check wallstreetbets! This could be the next big thing.
They ran out the back door with suitcases full of cash?
Dimwits never learn. Remember the Obumbles subsidized solar companies?
Suitcases full of cash and tickets to somewhere without an extradition treaty.
Don’t you have to make an electric truck in order to be an “electric truck maker?” Or is this a case of “I identify as…”
Lordstown has also been battling charges from a research firm named Hindenburg that has questioned the validity of various sales contracts and also raised safety concerns about the Endurance.
In a separate statement Monday, Lordstown said that a special committee that reviewed the Hindenburg allegations concluded that the research firm’s findings are “in significant respects, false and misleading.”
However, the committee did concede that “Lordstown Motors made periodic disclosures regarding pre-orders which were, in certain respects, inaccurate.”
“I’m not dead yet.”
“Lordstown Motors made periodic disclosures regarding pre-orders which were, in certain respects, inaccurate.”
I am dumbstruck.
They are 2 for 2 here. Although Nikola stock closed at $17.21 today Down from a peak of about $66.00.
the Hindenburg allegations…
“Oh, the humanity!”
More in depth:
“This is terrible! Everyone’s running around pushing each other. Oh my goodness! Oh, the humanity! People are running about. The turkeys are hitting the ground like sacks of wet cement! Folks, I don’t know how much longer… The crowd is running for their lives. I think I’m going to step inside. I can’t stand here and watch this anymore. No, I can’t go in there. Children are searching for their mothers and oh, not since the Hindenburg tragedy has there been anything like this. I don’t know how much longer I can hold my position here, Johnny. The crowd…
As horrible as the footage of the fire looked, 60% of the Hindenburg’s crew and passengers survived.
35 died which is probably what an normal weekend racks up in Chicago and Philly.

University Vaccine Mandates Violate Medical Ethics
If you are going to fascist you might as well do it right.
/Josef Mengele
I did not get vaccinated against Covid-19, nor will I. I had all of the vaccinations kids born in the 1950s got. I stay current on tetanus shots, flu shots, shingles vaccine, etc., but there is no way in hell I am getting a Covid-19 vaccination.
Taking the pup in for her Lyme disease vaccine tomorrow. Which makes me wonder what the side effects of it must be that they haven’t released it for humans.
Not necessary for humans. Lyme disease is effectively treated with minocycline/tetracycline.
I think that the reason that no one makes the Lyme disease vaccine is monetary. Not enough of a market (and like Suthen says you can treat it pretty effectively with antibiotics).
I thought they had one on the market but it got pulled.
Yup
By the way… an example of a drug that made it through phase 3 trials without even a small sign of side effects, only to succumb to a class action suit after people started experiencing arthritis after getting the shots.
But we can definitely trust experimental mRNA drugs that only got through phase 2 testing…
Yep.
I got two of the three doses since at the time I spent a lot of my free time hiking in areas where deer ticks were common.
I remember no side effects or problems.
25 years ago there was series of 3 shots for Lyme Disease prevention. The missus and I each got 2 of them, A Benjamin a pop, then they were discontinued do to a lack of efficacy. I got the Lyme tick business sometime later but mildly and antibiotics fixed me up. Got the Lyme thing again last year and the meds worked wonders again.
I am a few up on you. I recently got rabies, distemper, Parvo, hepatitis ….whatever dogs can transmit to humans. You should try it…it is the most fun you will ever have.
I’m curious to know (but not curious enough to look it up) if they are going to require documentation. Our school is not requiring vaccination at this stage and will require unvaccinated individuals to wear masks on campus. However, this will be done under the “honor system” and we have been told very clearly that we can ask neither faculty, staff, nor students whether or not they have been vaccinated nor can we ask why someone is wearing or not wearing a mask.
I was a guinea pig for the Anthrax shot in 1990. Never been sicker in my life.
When I saw the SMOD set up from Swiss, I figured he knew more about Pie’s morning link that we did:
Or the Tolkein thread just got us into the hobbit of being punny today. So he said we’d better be good or elf.
Then his eyes got thor in the lids from the narrowing…
…which triggered an earthquake causing a tsunami?
Good grief.
Humanity gives itself too much credit as being the most destructive force on the planet.
Fortunately, the plague of locusts slowed the meteor’s fall enough so that didn’t happen.
And then the island tipped over…
Last week a Florida court ruled against mask mandates.
The lawyer behind the lawsuit explains how he proceeded.
“(3) avoid asking the court to decide whether masks work or not.”
Why? Over 100 years of studies show they definitively do not work.
I think because then you are moving away from if the government can even mandate wearing an article of clothing and into the realm that it is legitimate. I figure it is “don’t address what we already see as illegitimate and open the door for a court to rule it is otherwise”.
He believed his lawsuit would have a higher chance to succeed that way.
This is a good strategy not just because the government can summon whatever study it wants, but a) the government generally has to clear a low bar to show their measures were “reasonable”, and b) the government was more than willing to throw out and ignore a lot of work OSHA had done on the efficacy of masks.
Damn skippy, that dude knows his enemy. The other problem with arguing this point is that you are fighting on the enemy’s own turf. In a war of “experts” presented before a government apparatchik, the government apparatchik side is going to win 9 times out of 10.

Guess the Greens will go on a campaign to Roundup all the eco-heretics.
They just want to weed out their opponents from the election field.
Their opponents had a lackluster campaign. Everyone agreed it was just sow sow.
Nice try but this comment must be weeded out. Roundup is not a pesticide.
It’s a dessert topping?
Floor wax?
Why not both ?
“Roundup is not a pesticide.”
Yeah, I catch hippies doing that shit all the time. They just get sullen and retreat behind their bulwarks of “chemicals” and “poisons.” Much fun ensues, for me anyway.
Herbicide, pesticide, it’s all the same if you don’t think about it.
It ends in -cide so it must be bad.

Pesticide, herbicide… tomayto, jalapeño. Greenies don’t know the difference.
I found this oldie but good copy pasta on reddit and figured I would post it for anyone who hasn’t seen it for a little chuckle.
I was shooting heroin and reading “The Fountainhead” in the front seat of my privately owned police cruiser when a call came in. I put a quarter in the radio to activate it. It was the chief.
“Bad news, detective. We got a situation.”
“What? Is the mayor trying to ban trans fats again?”
“Worse. Somebody just stole four hundred and forty-seven million dollars’ worth of bitcoins.”
The heroin needle practically fell out of my arm. “What kind of monster would do something like that? Bitcoins are the ultimate currency: virtual, anonymous, stateless. They represent true economic freedom, not subject to arbitrary manipulation by any government. Do we have any leads?”
“Not yet. But mark my words: we’re going to figure out who did this and we’re going to take them down … provided someone pays us a fair market rate to do so.”
“Easy, chief,” I said. “Any rate the market offers is, by definition, fair.”
He laughed. “That’s why you’re the best I got, Lisowski. Now you get out there and find those bitcoins.”
“Don’t worry,” I said. “I’m on it.”
I put a quarter in the siren. Ten minutes later, I was on the scene. It was a normal office building, strangled on all sides by public sidewalks. I hopped over them and went inside.
“Home Depot™ Presents the Police!®” I said, flashing my badge and my gun and a small picture of Ron Paul. “Nobody move unless you want to!” They didn’t.
“Now, which one of you punks is going to pay me to investigate this crime?” No one spoke up.
“Come on,” I said. “Don’t you all understand that the protection of private property is the foundation of all personal liberty?”
It didn’t seem like they did.
“Seriously, guys. Without a strong economic motivator, I’m just going to stand here and not solve this case. Cash is fine, but I prefer being paid in gold bullion or autographed Penn Jillette posters.”
Nothing. These people were stonewalling me. It almost seemed like they didn’t care that a fortune in computer money invented to buy drugs was missing.
I figured I could wait them out. I lit several cigarettes indoors. A pregnant lady coughed, and I told her that secondhand smoke is a myth. Just then, a man in glasses made a break for it.
“Subway™ Eat Fresh and Freeze, Scumbag!®” I yelled.
Too late. He was already out the front door. I went after him.
“Stop right there!” I yelled as I ran. He was faster than me because I always try to avoid stepping on public sidewalks. Our country needs a private-sidewalk voucher system, but, thanks to the incestuous interplay between our corrupt federal government and the public-sidewalk lobby, it will never happen.
I was losing him. “Listen, I’ll pay you to stop!” I yelled. “What would you consider an appropriate price point for stopping? I’ll offer you a thirteenth of an ounce of gold and a gently worn ‘Bob Barr ‘08’ extra-large long-sleeved men’s T-shirt!”
He turned. In his hand was a revolver that the Constitution said he had every right to own. He fired at me and missed. I pulled my own gun, put a quarter in it, and fired back. The bullet lodged in a U.S.P.S. mailbox less than a foot from his head. I shot the mailbox again, on purpose.
“All right, all right!” the man yelled, throwing down his weapon. “I give up, cop! I confess: I took the bitcoins.”
“Why’d you do it?” I asked, as I slapped a pair of Oikos™ Greek Yogurt Presents Handcuffs® on the guy.
“Because I was afraid.”
“Afraid?”
“Afraid of an economic future free from the pernicious meddling of central bankers,” he said. “I’m a central banker.”
I wanted to coldcock the guy. Years ago, a central banker killed my partner. Instead, I shook my head.
“Let this be a message to all your central-banker friends out on the street,” I said. “No matter how many bitcoins you steal, you’ll never take away the dream of an open society based on the principles of personal and economic freedom.”
He nodded, because he knew I was right. Then he swiped his credit card to pay me.
That was really funny, “Subway™ Eat Fresh and Freeze, Scumbag!®”
“I put a quarter in the siren. ”
Comedy. Fucking. Gold!
I would pay for a weekly comic strip featuring ancap cop.

That’s classic, and based on my recent interactions with LP crypto geeks, spot on.
Ha! I’ve lost so much money on crypto now its not even funny.

“Biden calls Putin a ‘bright, worthy adversary’ instead of a ‘killer’ and warns US will ‘respond in kind’ to aggression while taking questions from ANOTHER list of pre-approved reporters”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9685827/Biden-says-NATO-allies-thanked-agreeing-sit-Vladimir-Putin.html
“and his hair smelled terrific!”
Putin needs to wise up. Biden took a shit-ton of money from Ukraine and China. All Putin has to do is write a check.
“…and warns US will ‘respond in kind’ to aggression…”
Raytheon, Honeywell, Boeing, and a laundry list of other DoD contractors just collectively jizzed.
Something I haven’t seen much press on is Biden’s taking the EU/remoaner position on Northern Ireland.
It’s the preferred policy of globalist elites and unpopular with the deplorables. That should explain it.
Too much to hope for a “That’s the business of the Irish people, and we’re staying out of it”.
I mean, I don’t care what the Scots think of Alabama – Mississippi relations, they almost certainly don’t care what we think either. People need to learn to shut their yaps.
Biden gave that response responding to the Chinese concentration camps, so it’s possible.
Auckland, NZ chapter of School Strike 4 Climate declares itself racist and disbands. This is not a Bee article.
“In a statement at the weekend, School Strike 4 Climate Auckland said it had been a ‘racist, white-dominated space’ and that it was dissolving the group. It declined to be be interviewed by RNZ. ‘School Strike 4 Climate Auckland has avoided, ignored, and tokenised black, indigenous and people of colour voices and demands, especially those of Pasifika and Māori individuals in the climate activism space,’ it said…people of colour were disproportionately affected by climate change, so the fight for climate justice should be led by their voices and needs, not [white] ones.”
LOL!!!!!
Sorry, I don’t believe you. And no way am I clicking on that link to confirm.
I am guessing the POC all shook their heads and wandered off to find a cold pint.
Say what you want about reasoning but the outcome is good.
Good on them. Next, stop being a burden on Mother Gaia.
LOL. Love to see leftist groups self-destruct.
Of note, the wording was a bit odd, given context:
Do they consider Maoris to be black? This is New Zealand we are talking about, where the non-white population is almost entirely Pacific Islander and Asian. I wonder if this is another case of where foreign leftists have adopted the language of American racial theory, even when it makes no sense in their own context.
Maori = indigenous.
Black is probably immigrants + standard trope.

Is “outside” that difficult a concept to understand?
OK, the cops are thugs. However, are people so dense as to not get the fact that the law itself is what’s fucked up?
/rhetorical question
I believe this is taught first day at the police academy. Whenever beating somebody always yell, “stop resisting!”.
To be fair, the first thing that they teach you in county, is to yell, “I’m not resisting!” while fighting the cops.
Whoever yells their slogan the loudest, wins…
Day 2 is how to yell “Taser, taser taser!” when shooting at people.
I was cited and thankfully not beaten for smoking outside. I walked out of my car and straight to a trash can to put it out. I demanded a jury trial. They changed the law from a misdo to an infraction because everyone was demanding jury trials. They refiled as an infraction. I still demanded a trial. After about three appearances, they finally dismissed it. They don’t much like me at Burbank courthouse, for some reason.
Busybodies vs ordinary folks, round #too many to count. Inevitable interaction between busybody’s own enforcers and expendable useful-demographic scofflaws decried as racist. Quick, deploy the smarmy same-race barren nannies! Man the slogan and social signal parapets!

Minnesoda juries aren’t diverse enough. Let’s start summoning more black Minnesodans and punishing them if they don’t show up. That will sure show those privileged white fucks!
Perfect fodder for them when they start fining black people for something they never really enforced and then they can turn around say “SEE! WHITE PRIVILEGE!”
$20 is a paltry sum, but the state should pay a better rate, not force employers to cover a loss that the state demands.
Main problem: too many criminal and civil laws that require juries to resolve.
Additionally, do you want jurors that are not taking jury service serious deciding YOUR case?
As someone who bugs the jury service office for jury service and has served on quite a few juries, having even more ignorant first time people on juries is bad news. At least repeat jurors have some idea what constitutional rights, elements of a crime, preponderance of the evidence, guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, state burden of proof are.
The court system is seriously broken in the USA.
I just want to make sure someone doesnt get convicted on my watch without evidence beyond a reasonable doubt. I have a lot of reasonable doubt too.

I said it a long time ago. I was initially sad because I’ve been through dementia/Alzheimer’s with several family members. He’s late stage. It was sad then, now I just laugh. Not for Gropin’ Joe, but for the stain his shitheads are putting on their souls.
I kinda feel like they are doing big damage to the blue team brand. They are (rightfully) acting like they stole the election and trying to shove as much crazy assed commie bullshit as they can through. Nobody likes it. Even my hard left buddy couldn’t really deny how fucked up everything has become in just 6 short months. All he could claim was, ” At least he’s not lying all the time.” To which I just laughed really loudly!
When one does not have a grip on reality, “lying” is effectively impossible except by pure accident.
Obama was a bad commie but had republican congress blocking most of what he wanted to do.
Trump was the reaction to that Democrat tyranny, like obamacare.

Apropos of my previous micro review of “Lathe of Heaven”, I just finished Le Guin’s “Left Hand of Darkness.”
Again…wow. Not sure why it took this long to get into this one. Don’t think it’s worthy of the “better than dune or LOTR” blurbs by Moorcock, et al, but it crams a heckuvalot of plot, theory and world-building into 280-ish pages. Definitely better than 98+% of what’s being published current year.

Vast Majority Of Democrats Support Employers Forcing Workers To Get COVID Jab, New Poll Finds
You can also guess if a college degree is related to a higher support for forced vaccinations.
No matter what the exact issue is at the moment–staying at home, mask mandates, vaccine mandates–more highly educated respondents and/or Democrats/Biden voters always support more totalitarian positions.
This particular issue is pissing me off (to put it mildly).
It’s illustrative of the complete lack of respect for individual autonomy that a significant portion of the country has. And it does not bode well for the future.
For people who love to talk about how educated and intelligent they are, they’re remarkably fragile and skin-thinned about it.
Dude, they’re afraid. Therefore you must bow to their demands.
The cult of immortality got spooked, and thus we learned another facet of who and what is really in charge.
This is a huge part of it. People have forgotten how fragile life and our way of it is and they’re terrified, but in exactly the wrong way.
Goodnight, America.
NHPR article on NH House Majority Leader Jason Osbourne
But his involvement in New Hampshire politics dates back to the Free State Project, a movement that aimed to recruit 20,000 libertarians to move to New Hampshire to expand freedom and shrink government.
If you browse YouTube, you can find plenty of clips of footage of Osborne from before he joined the legislature, from conversations with libertarian videographer Dave Ridley about why he was providing free beer to attendees of Porcfest, the Free State Project’s annual summer camp out from 2008, or as a recurrent guest on an education-themed podcast called the SchoolSucksProject.
He once posted an image on Facebook of himself smiling impishly before an exploding statehouse. It’s since been taken down, and for all of this bluster, after Osborne entered elected politics, he appears to have sought to keep a lower media profile. His Twitter account is private, an unusual move for a public official. And by his own admission, he mostly avoids dealing with reporters these days. When NHPR spoke with him for this profile, he made his own recording of the interview (something this reporter has never experienced in two decades covering the New Hampshire House).
Now why would someone distrust a journalist? Truly a mystery.
Over on derpbook, a researcher at a UK university posted on the Reopen PA group an invitation to take part in a survey to find out what drives Reopen activists.
I posted this comment:
“Prediction: This will be used to slander those that took part in Reopen groups.”
It’s a very popular comment.
“Not interested” comments are rolling in.
“But his involvement in New Hampshire politics dates back to the Free State Project, a movement that aimed to recruit 20,000 libertarians to move to New Hampshire to expand freedom and shrink government.”
Other than the fact that nobody would be able to agree on anything, I don’t really see a down-side.
Because of the fact that nobody would be able to agree on anything, I don’t see a downside.
I was thinking back to a story from Saturday’s mourning lynx, i.e.:
In new research published Friday in Science Advances, scientists studying the effects of space radiation on reproduction report that freeze-dried mouse sperm weathered a nearly six-year trip on the International Space Station without any damage and could ultimately last for 200 years in space.
My question is: how did they obtain mouse sperm samples? I can just picture some poor lab assistant carefully wanking the confused yet happy rodent, muttering to herself “I don’t remember this being in the goddamn job description. ‘Go into science,’ they said. ‘You’ll make your parents proud,’ they said.”
*Mickey intensifies*
Why do you think the mice survived the sperm collection? They probably just kill mice first.

Don’t some animals get “milked” by en electrified probe to the prostate? My money would be on that.

Yeah, I always wondered how that was done for cattle (thoroughbreds, FWIW, require what’s referred to as “natural cover”) and sho’ nuff, YouTube comes to the rescue. I guess they can miniaturize the apparatus.

That is more disturbing than I would have imagined the answer to be.

Classy.
I first read that as troll-op and thought it was clever, then I realized it was just yet another tolerant sex-positive feminist voice calling someone a whore.
As long as they let us insult Biden’s lying skank press secretary in the same fashion I’ll allow it. Criticism of someone who gets paid big money to lie for a living, even when it’s crass, is fair game in my book.
Reading thru the rest of the tweets reveals a rather deranged view of civilization.

Biden slams Republicans while on foreign soil in break with political norms
President Biden blasted former president Donald Trump and Republicans during a press conference following a NATO summit in Brussels on Monday, even though Biden’s campaign ripped Trump in 2019 for waging a political attack overseas.
Biden blasted Trump’s “phony populism” in response to a reporter’s question about what Biden has said to allies who may be wary of trusting the U.S. post-Trump.
Republicans and Democrats have long observed a tradition that “politics stops at the water’s edge.”
Biden is a socket puppet. Some marxist who hates the US has a hand up Biden’s ass.
The damage is going to be catastrophic.
Regarding the eurotrash snickering at Trump when he gave a speech over there: I remember looking at those dingleberries and thinking ‘Some of our medium states have bigger economies than you do, shitbirds’. I imagine when Trump saw the footage afterwards he got a good belly laugh out of it.
He and his handlers are just pandering to their base. A base who hates the US. OK, you’re right.
I want to take a life-insurance policy out on my husband. He says ‘hell will freeze over’ before he’s worth more dead than alive
I’ve got no words for this relationship. I’m not sure how one readily and naturally has a “child on the cusp of our 50s”.
I’m also pleasantly surprised how the advisor here explained what life insurance for someone in their 50s costs. She should be able to pick up his social security should if he predeceases her. And unless she can convince him otherwise she probably should have made some different life choices.
Nothing compared to what life insurance for someone in their 60s costs.
In a nutshell, the prenup says I get a battered cottage he owns that’s worth about $100,000, and he gets joint custody of our children. There is no provision for alimony, and child support follows state guidelines.
Read what you sign! You don’t get buyer’s remorse from a prenup.
Overall, that couple is a fucking mess, despite being wealthy. I would rather have to work until I die, scrimping and saving just to put food on the table than be these profoundly miserable people.
You don’t get to have buyer’s remorse
Yup!
