POLL: Cancel Culture is Cancelled
That’s all I got for today. I’ll leave you with a song and move along with my day.
Morning. I’m betting they cancel the cancellation of cancel culture.
I’m still upset over Firefly.
Word.
+ Jayne’s hat
Meh. Joss’s ideas are extremely clever but get played out really quickly. He’s best at short self-contained works like Dr. Horrible’s Singalong Blog.
Serenity was a gem, but should have had a sequel.
It was a leaf on the wind…
I was pissed when they cancelled Terra Nova. Now La Brea is just a shittier version.
As long as HR and the C*O suite are part of the cult as far as I can tell, it won’t matter much what the rest of us think. Especially since they’re trying so hard to make small businesses fail.
“Of the of the 130,468 deaths registered as official COVID deaths since the start of the pandemic, only 3,783 are directly attributable to the virus alone.” And therein lies the truth. What a damn racket.
Stagflation, here we come.
Yep. You don’t die of the flu either — you usually die because it’s the straw that broke the camel’s back (and in my FiL’s case, you die of pneumonia, “the old person’s friend”).
COVID’s a filter.
He also forecasted that Republicans could flip 60 seats next year, on par with Republicans’ massive 63-seat gain in the 2010 Tea Party wave midterm elections.
“If you’re a Democrat and President Biden won your seat by 16 points, you’re in a competitive race next year. You are no longer safe,” McCarthy said.
A bit hyperbolic, but I’ll allow it.
My guesstimation is the Democrats are banking on creating a situation so volatile that someone pops off. They will then simultaneously crack down and put the media to work 24/7 raging about the internal threat to democracy.
That appears to be all they have at the moment. I cannot think of another way for them to politically maneuver out of the clusterfuck they created outside of instigating a war with China.
Therefore, you can bet that the demands will become even more outlandish. The mandates pushed, the media more aggressive, the tax proposals even more insane…
Hold on to your asses. This ride is going to get bumpy.
I don’t see a historic gain like that. The Ds had a lot more marginal seats in 2010 than they do in 2022. They had ~80 seat advantage in 2010 after winning seats in 2008. In 2022 they will have less than a 10 seat advantage after losing in 2020.
Plus in California, they’ve got the ballot harvesting down. And I expect a lot of folks have fled the state over the last ten years. So there are some formerly R seats that aren’t coming back — nothing seems to shake the faith these people have in big government.
The R seats in CA are in places the Dems just won’t win. There aren’t that many, but they are there.
There was one in my district. And he won on Election Night in 2018. Then got chipped down over the next 3 days of absentee ballot counting until he magically lost — like a lot of the rest of the state to give Pelosi her majority. First run of harvesting — and I don’t think they’re ever going to stop here.
Why should they stop? They get what they want and they will never be held to account for it, particularly by their own consciences.
I fucked that up. I blame the website. Shoulda been this quote:
Worker productivity slumped by much more than expected in the third quarter, data from the Department of Labor showed Thursday.
Stagflation, here we come.
Maybe from all the federal contractor employees having to spend a good chunk of their time worrying and planning about losing their jobs… I know it has distracted the hell out of me the past month or so.
Let’s expand that nationwide and see if we can slump harder.
Along with key people retiring or being fired.
Totally unexpected.
Government employee productivity is zero to begin with. It can’t really go down by 5%.
There is such a thing as negative productivity, unfortunately.

Because… with Trump gone, the Clintonistas involved in the scam are no longer useful. It’s a way for the Biden team to purge some of team Clintons.
“It’s a way for the Biden team to purge some of team Clintons.”
True, except there is no Biden team; it’s an Obama team.
Ehh… Obama is a lame duck, dead in the water. And that is really the issue for the Donks; there is no one running the ship.
Obama is DOA, Biden is senile, San Fran Nan has less and less influence every day as the Quad is rising, the Quad isn’t at a point of power yet, Schumer doesn’t control the senate, Hilary can’t get anyone elected to save her life, and so on. All of that leads to inconsistent messaging and power struggles, like the one Cuomo got pegged by.
It’s a power vacuum on the left. They were able to harness a general fear of the ‘Vid, but outside of that they really have nothing consistent enough to drive messaging, drive votes.
Morning, Banjos.
Haven’t had time to check out the links. We’re still fixing a database server (We did take a break because people were falling asleep). I may have already finished out my hours for this pay period.
First test of your backup strategy?
Assumes facts not in evidence.
Biden and Pelosi have compared the 46th president’s Build Back Better agenda to President Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal and Lyndon Baines Johnson’s Great Society programs.
Stalin had a noteworthy legacy, too. Think big, President Ballgag.

The indictment of Igor Danchenko, the primary source for the discredited Steele dossier, provides damning evidence alleging the Russian analyst repeatedly lied to the FBI. But it’s only part of a larger portrait emerging in federal court records chronicling how the U.S. government was bamboozled into investigating Donald Trump for Russia collusion by a circle of players connected to Hillary Clinton.
This has been known for years. *yawn*
U.S. government
was bamboozled intojustified investigating Donald TrumpOFFS. The FBI knew it was all lies but peddled it anyway. The government wasn’t “bamboozled”; the major players knew what was going on the whole time.
The covering of the government derriere shall continue, Comrade!
No reasonableprosecutor…
The ounspoken but understood previous sentence was “This woman is the odds on favorite to be the next president. No reasonable prosecutor that wants to have a career would….”
This is tying pieces back to the Clinton campaign that weren’t known before. I’m telling you, Blumenthal has to be in there somewhere.

HOLY MACKEREL! I don’t really know what to say. I’m typing through tears. The outpouring of Glibs generosity has been positively astounding. Seriously, I’m shaken to the core and have a new appreciation for life and humanity. I can’t thank all of you enough. So many names that I can’t match up with handles, but in a way, that humanizes it more and makes it more meaningful. Thank you, thank you, thank you all. I love you people.
you’re part of a really big fam, cuh’
If you end up in SW Ohio, Im sure I can get you with Kroger. Its a union shop, after all.
Since we’re both creatures of the night, we could get fucked up and take turns shitting in GT’s flowerbed.
Then blame it on giant, feral, cats.
Hey now! None of that!
If is funny, in SC Harris Teeter tried to pretend to not be Kroger. Every now and again, you would see a Kroger branded product on the shelf, but it was rare.
Here in CO, King Sooper doesn’t even pretend, there is Kroger branded merch everywhere.
Oh this makes me happy. I hope you land on your feet and get going on something better real soon.

OMWC, WebDom and SP get first crack at him!
Um, phrasing?
Looking forward to the forthcoming sitcom, ‘Glib’s Cafe & Grill’.
Starring
L0bot, as the irascible grill cook with a heart of gold!
Creepy uncle OMWC, who is secretly a sweetheart!
Sassy SP, who takes no gruff!
I’d rent that!
I’m picturing that and laughing already. OMWC is secretly feeding the urchins out the back door, SP wondering why the food bills are so high, Lobot can’t get a break from the grill, only place that allows smoking is behind the swinging doors.
I’m sure helping out a fellow Glib won’t actually get a guy moved up a circle in hell, but it is worth a try.
This place is my virtual Eagles/Elks club. All the best to you guys.
What? No love for the Moose or the Turners?!
Well, we’re not Rotarians. Too many coders and lawyers.

The last place I lived had an I.O.O.F. lodge. I kinda wanted to join.

Our bunch here continues to make me smile.
Let us know about specific things you might need help with, too.
Whoops! This kept slipping my mind (an easy thing to do these days, sadly . . . ).
Just donated. Give ‘er, d00d.
If you need a respite and in MN got a quiet place for you to stay. Just don’t wait too long though. The calendar is not our friend. Good to hear things will be a little better, Iobot, all the Glibs are good folks and vice versa.
We love you in a chaste way, I0b0t. You needed a hand and there it was. I hope you swim away from the morass. Take up that offer from the old man. Flirt with some blue-haired harpies. Ya might turn one (or two). Stranger things have happened in the kitchen.
You’ve been watching the Japanese channel, haven’t you, Festus?
No, I spent a few years behind the grill. I know what happens back there. It’s like Peyton Place!
You’ve been underselling yourself lol. Best of luck on the next chapter.
This community is one of the few reasons I still have any faith in mankind. And therefore if a Glib needs help and I can help, I will.
The fact that we have proved that a voluntary community can help someone down on their luck without the gubmint being involved is just a fringe benefit.
🙂
I hope things get better for you soon.
You are one of the kindest, most interesting people I’ve ever met and certainly the most well read amongst us Glibs (maybe all put together), and we all know you’ve been struggling for the last 3 years. It was time for us to do something to help you, and this is the only way we can.
Watch your language! This is a fucking family friendly site!
Hey dude, I don’t have so many friends (even internet friends) that I can let them go around being miserable!
I hope things work out well for you.
Who will save us?
But make no mistake about it, democracy overall is on the ropes in America. It’s the Republican Party under the likes of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) who are primarily to blame — not to mention zealots like Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) and Reps. Marjorie Taylor-Green (R-Ga.), Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.), Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), and Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), among many others.
Let’s not forget either that even after the carnage of Jan. 6, 147 Republicans voted to overturn the election with no real evidence of fraud. This was itself a fraud on the voters — every one of us, regardless of party affiliation — and if that lineup of politicians stays in power, we will no doubt see more of it.
——-
What Youngkin’s success suggests, then, is that if Republicans are on course to take over American government anyway, perhaps they can pledge to put their power to good use now that they know they can win elections fairly, and without Trump commandeering total control. If this evokes skepticism, it should, is it would require a marked and deliberate Republican shift away from lies, hate and electoral manipulation and back toward meaningful policy debate and a modicum of integrity. What Virginians perhaps said yesterday — to both parties — is that it’s what the voters really want.
Hate, fear, divisiveness, electoral chicanery! Those crazy Republicans are destroying this country.
Yeah, nothing says “meaningful policy debate and a modicum of integrity” like “All my opponents are lunatic racists! They have to find people who agree with me and agree to lose graciously again while we call them Nazis!” Wolf! Wooooollllllfffffff!

If good Republicans will just pass everything progressives want, then harmony shall rule the land.
“…not to mention zealots like Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) and Reps. Marjorie Taylor-Green (R-Ga.), Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.), Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), and Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), among many others.”
You know who else were zealots ?
(I really like that for the creative use of “I only have eyes for you”.

From my limited experience with wargames in the military, you’re supposed to lose to the OPFOR; that’s the whole point of training, to get better.
I recall doing major exercises like JRTC. Over the course of the exercise the OPFOR got more powerful until they rolled over us. It was a rare major exercise that I wasn’t killed.
We did the very first combined light infantry/mech infantry rotation at NTC Ft. Irwin. We got our asses absolutely handed to us by their shockingly effective OPFOR. I also got to field test a portable radar system and broke the ever-lovin’ shit out of it; the Army did not adopt TDAAR (sorry Raytheon; ya gotta make shit soldier proof.)
ya gotta make shit soldier proof
I can’t recall how many CUCV rear windows we shattered. Frameless window meet subzero weather.
I got CS gassed at 0200 by OPFOR there…Rangers. Man, we got hammered.
A buddy of mine in college was in OPFOR, and he had some stories. One of them involved getting in trouble for stenciling officer’s rank insignia onto the stock of his rifle, as ‘kill markers.’
Harumph. Way to harsh my joke.
No matter, I’m sure mis-attributed pronouns were part of the exercise somewhere.

President Joe Biden, having failed twice to convince House Democrats to back his legislative agenda, resorted Thursday to personally calling lawmakers to beg them to vote for the $1.75 trillion Build Back Better Act.,

Madison Foglio has a weird face, yet I find her strangely attractive.

I’m not sure Gaga actually has a face of her own. I think she just picks one out for effect. Maybe like those GoT assassins.
I dont have a problem with that.
She had me with her meat dress.
And she’s a hell of a piano player, unlike that hack Amy Lee. (still would Amy, too)
I am not educated in couture as an art, but I’d believe she’s particularly good at it.
I am curious to see her in the movie about the Gucci family. The previews look good.
She must be awfully fat.
Exceptions have, and will, be made.
Variety and all that.
Wow. She does nothing for my nethers. They remain un-stirred.
A Daily Caller reporter who recorded video in Kenosha, Wisconsin, the night Kyle Rittenhouse allegedly shot three people testified on Thursday that Joseph Rosenbaum chased and lunged at the teenager before he fired his gun.

Republicans have a big problem
I recall Obama campaigning for McAwful. Shouldn’t he be discarded? History forever starts fresh.
Because if Republicans should take political advice from anyone, it is CNN. They know how to drive popularity and ratings, after all…
And they definitely have the GOP’s interests at heart.
Well, they do need someone to hang around to take the blame for all problems. See California.
Can we discard Joe when he “leads” his party off a cliff next year?
Narrative > Facts.
The party is as beholden to Trump as he is to it, which is to say barely at most. Everybody’s trying to turn back the clock to business as usual but not enough people are falling for it.
Worst since 1981, nice nice nice.
I had two job interviews this week. One public one private sector both for civil/structural engineering. I don’t think I’m cut out for public sector. Seems like a lot of following rules and preventing people from getting things done. The private job is cool though. Pay is almost the same, but the private sector job seems like a much more motivated environment. Recently I decided I might just be into that.
Good choice.
But they expect results! 😉
Perfect link. And so true! It’s hard to believe how many government employees believe they are doing important work- then they come to the private sector and realize what they had previously done was meaningless.
Sigh. I am only two weeks into my “government employ” (although strictly speaking, my employer is a contractor, an LLC) and you guys are already trying to crush my spirits.
In seriousness though, I like to think I’ve climbed above the “idiot line” , much like the tree line on a mountain, above which you have to possess a set of technical skills and True Belief(TM) in the mission to operate. This is an area that realistically can be headed up only by the federal government.
My small cohort of fellow techies are genuinely motivated. We certainly aren’t working 1000ft underground for the glamor.
I am now imagining you at a Yucca Mountain type facility somewhere in the Nevada desert working away in a James Bond villain style control room.

Holy hell, you commute from Pahrump? Or are you on the daily flight?
AREA 51?!?
Oh, this just keeps getting better.
Juris is right. I don’t hunk my office has seen a coat of fresh paint in decades.
Now the labs, on the other hand, are a wonderland of stainless steel (and other shiny metal), bright LEDs, glass, and crystal.
Thusly typo: “I don’t think” not “I don’t hunk”.
And yes I commute from Pahrump.
Hopefully not too many LEDs — otherwise it sounds like they let JJ Abrams design the place. (To quote the Star Trek HISHE: “Who designs a starship bridge with lights shining in your face… from EVERY ANGLE?”)
Commute, they told her… Pahrump pahrump pum….
And your husband is probably glad you don’t hunk. 😉
Nah, the LEDs are useful level, not “pizzazz level.”
The juxtaposition of irregular tunnels carved out for miles underground (all painted white, but very rough and undulating walls and ceilings) against the sleek, straight steel pieces and neat electronics is kind of trippy.
I’m talking about existing systems with that description. The project I’m on is in its early days so no hardware yet; we are preparing for it. Nice to be in on it from the beginning (almost).
So I commute either to NNSS or to North Las Vegas every day, with some work-at-home. Fortunately I like the drive, and Elon is my copilot.
You’ve got an underground lair?
Coooooooooooool.
I thought we weren’t doing Yucca Mountain? 😉
I’m more of a Yucca Flats gal…
They moved the Greys there, from Area 51.
Ah, I was thinking 51 on the other side of the mountains.
Town of Mercury right? Not that it exists.
There are plenty of mountain ranges out there. I usually am in th Yucca Flats, west of Area 51, East of Yucca Mountain.
Mercury is the main entrance to the Nevada National Security Site, where you’d get your badge if you’re a visitor, etc. (They don’t take casual visitors so don’t book those tickets yet). Mercury also has some administrative buildings, a cafe, some “dorm” style housing if sleep is needed, med clinic, classrooms. Mercury shows up on most navigation services. Not so much for the rest of the joint.

You’re just not hitting it hard enough
Democrats’ frustration with the White House is starting to bubble over after months of low approval ratings, legislative inertia and the disastrous showing for the party in Tuesday’s elections in Virginia and New Jersey.
Officials say that President Joe Biden and his administration failed to effectively message or aggressively muscle its economic agenda through Congress and that, in the process, they allowed the party to grow more fractious.
Faiz Shakir, a senior political adviser to Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), said lawmakers have taken advantage of Biden’s reluctance to make demands in negotiations over his agenda. The president, he said, needed to start playing more of a leadership role.
“We need less talk and a lot more action,” Shakir said. “It’s important for the president to be seen as trying desperately to get to ‘yes.’ Even if other people already are concerned, wishy washy, not sure – the president needs to be forceful.”
If only there were some way to galvanize the American people and unite them behind the Democratic Socialist agenda. Maybe a fire in a prominent public building. Show them how close we are to the political Abyss.
Faiz Shakir says that now because he thinks his faction have control of Biden’s puppet strings. If the moderates were running Biden-bot, he wouldn’t be calling for the senile old coot to “lead”.
The problem with the ratfuckers in Congress is they didn’t get their spendapalooza passed before the voters had a chance to rebuke them. The spongers in Congress now realize that their phony baloney jobs might be in jeopardy. Most of Congress agrees on one thing – incumbancy uber alles!.
Of course, if the committed proggies were honest, they’d realize that is exactly why nothing did get passed. Because too many incumbents realized that those bills were ultra stupid. But when the crazies were in the office, they nodded and said ‘um…. yeah’ just to get them to leave.
Biden’s handlers better get the messaging right: Mayorkas Confirms Biden Admin’s Cash Payments To Illegals: “Compensation…Being Handled By [DOJ]”

We really should have made the Turkey the national bird like Ben Franklin suggested. Eagles suck at everything.
I was promised a news story about eagles fighting. To me 98% of it looks like eagles cuddling after some snu-snu. At the very end there is some angry flopping about, but it ain’t ever going to beat poker on espn when it comes to ratings.
Raptors in general are kind of dim and autistic. Corvids are where its at. I think Turkeys get a bad rap because they are such awkward fliers. They are really interesting birds too.
Raptor brains are smaller than their eyeballs and are generally there only to process those eyeball skillz.
Corvids really are where it’s at. They are remarkably good at teaching each other things and at abstract thinking. They can look at a puzzle for a few minutes without touching it and then hop over and solve it in one go. Very companionable. I had a pair of ravens that nested in the palm tree outside my office window in my newly abandoned job. The ravens are one of the few things I miss about it.
So… the shadow of those ravens shall stretch across your office floor nevermore?
?
Awesome. Ravens would often fly around me when skiing in the Tahoe region. They seem genuinely curious about skiers and will follow them down runs. I always enjoyed skiing on a snowy day and seeing a raven hanging around.
Good call, Jimbo, they will lock up in flight and spiral down but always manage to “pull out” before they hit the ground.
“A new Rasmussen poll sponsored by The National Pulse has found that seventy-two percent (72 percent) of people who responded to a telephone and online survey believe “cancel culture” is out of control. Respondents also stated that free speech should be protected against censorship.”

Mysterious things happening at hospitals.
Months of treatment delays have exacerbated chronic conditions and worsened symptoms. Doctors and nurses say the severity of illness ranges widely and includes abdominal pain, respiratory problems, blood clots, heart conditions and suicide attempts, among other conditions.
I wonder what is different now then a year ago…
Is that true about requiring SSNs for vaxes? If so, what if you’re undocumented?
Free vax and bag of money?
I have 99% ruled out every getting the jab, but to this point I’ve not said “never”. But I swear on all that’s holy, if ANYONE thinks I’m forking over an SSN for that jab, it puts me at about a 160% “not a chance in hell”.
ISTR a phony but plausible SSN didn’t work while giving blood 20 years ago.
It is actually legally forbidden to use the SSN as an identifier outside of the SSA. Federal agencies can ask for it, but they must honor refusals to give it, and create a unique identifier for those who decline to give their SSNs.
how odd, i wonder what’s causing this?

The Italian Higher Institute of Health has drastically reduced the country’s official COVID death toll number by over 97 per cent after changing the definition of a fatality to someone who died from COVID rather than with COVID.
Italian newspaper Il Tempo reports that the Institute has revised downward the number of people who have died from COVID rather than with COVID from 130,000 to under 4,000.
“Yes, you read that right. Turns out 97.1% of deaths hitherto attributed to Covid were not due directly to Covid,” writes Toby Young.
Of the of the 130,468 deaths registered as official COVID deaths since the start of the pandemic, only 3,783 are directly attributable to the virus alone.

My Brother and his friends did that when they were 13 or so. Why? I don’t know.
To be fair, the only reason I’m moving fast this AM is ’cause the Bed Pig (otherwise known as my pup) managed to maneuver herself into pushing me out of my own bed before 6 AM.
Jeez.
This is why we lock the pets out except for nights like Halloween and New Year’s. Fireworks are baaaaad JuJu.

“A throng of climate protesters swarmed Sen. Joe Manchin’s car Thursday morning in an effort to confront him about his opposition to President Joe Biden’s multi-trillion dollar social spending plan.
The environmental activists followed Manchin from his $700,000 houseboat on the Potomac River in Washington DC to a parking garage where he keeps his $80,000 Maserati Levante as they chanted ‘pass climate change bills,’ ‘we want to live!’ and ‘fight for us!’
Video shared on social media shows the group in the garage surrounding the Maserati as Manchin honks his horn.”

Do you know what comedy needs? Fewer laughs.
Dan Aykroyd has spoken out in support of cancel culture when it’s appropriate.
The “Ghostbusters” star, 69, said hurtful comedy should be called out for its “hurtfulness.”
“There is enough range in humor where you don’t have to go scatological and you don’t have to go pulling any divisive cards to get a laugh,” he told the Hollywood Reporter in an interview.
“There is so much in the world to comment on that is outside the realm of offensiveness. As a writer, you can go to other areas and have successful creative endeavors. Scatological humor is fun. It’s easy laughs. But there is more intelligent writing that can happen if you stay away from the offensive material that should be rightly canceled for its hurtfulness,” he continued.
Get bent.
This is the guy who came up with Dr. Detroit.

“Jane you ignorant slut”
He’s earned his nut. Dan Aykroyd stopped being funny when he got fat and happy. About 1985 or so.
Yeah, I read this as another example of “I got mine.”
Dan, you ignorant slut.
I’m pretty surprised about that. Aykroyd has a reputation of being kind of on the right, at least from his reported gun-collecting proclivities.
I thought he was a big believer in UFOs, going back to the Carson era. Less crazy than Randy Quaid.
Haha – counties that accepted Zuck’s grant money it sounds like. Yeah, that’s working real well. But now without Trump, the scrutiny is way more intense.

How much is she “making a fool” of him? All he’s got to say is “No”. I’d expect something like this from a progressive source, but Conservatism Inc. should at least make an effort to have the appearance of not being shills for the left. Whatever you think of Manchin, he holds pretty much all the cards here. He isn’t up for re-election for another three years and there’s not really a host of Democrats who can replace him in West Virginia. And the Democrats labeling the reconciliation bill a “must-do” puts them in the position that they really don’t have much option beyond giving him whatever he wants. Joe Manchin can walk away from a reconciliation deal unscathed. At this point, both Pelosi and Biden have staked so much on the bill that not passing it pretty much ends their hold on power.
The Italian Higher Institute of Health has drastically reduced the country’s official COVID death toll number by over 97 per cent after changing the definition of a fatality to someone who died from COVID rather than with COVID.

Was it nice to be lied to directly by a Senator?
I particularly enjoyed this part:
Nice question avoision.
Dear Mark Warner:
I will not comply.
Yours etc.
How to signal you’re an auto-reply bot and no one read your concerns without even trying…
Warner is an old-school kleptocrat. He just doesn’t care what you think.
Kaine is a lying shit-weasel of the first order.

“The poll also found that seventy-five percent (75 percent) of respondents believed that protecting free speech is more important than protecting people from speech that is offensive.”
This is really depressing. I had no idea there was so much racism in our country.
From Rebel Scum’s Taibbi link:
“The GOP ran a master class on race-based identity politics,” wrote CNN’s Bakari Sellers. “The return of the Lee Atwater playbook. Pretty grim,” is how former Harry Reid chief of staff Adam Jentleson put it. “Hats off to the depraved cynicism and villainy and race baiting. It worked in Virginia,” seethed Wajahat Ali of The Daily Beast. Van Jones last night called Youngkin the “Delta variant of Trumpism.”

I was in the local Walmart on Monday afternoon. It looked like tornado alley, after the blow. Empty shelves, carts full of merchandise around, waiting to be restocked, shopping carts full of misplaced merchandise, the service counter with no employees, only 2-3 cash registers open. Appeared to be fewer employees on the floor. I’m not sure the cause, people don’t want to work, employees un motivated, higher employee costs resulting in fewer employees, lower caliber of employees? Any/all of the above?
It also could have been the result of a busy week end and just not time to clean up the disarray but in any case the customers were there and looked like the typical gang, including us.
Hasn’t happened here yet but mind you, I don’t shop.
Wait till millions are forced out of the job market in January.

/TMITE in 2 months.
So clicking thru the ZH link, I found this…
Every piece of news is a lie or omits important details these days. Everyoje should be skeptical, especially if it supports their point of view. This is why having principles is so important.
I’m gonna steal that and call it “Every-Joe”!
^^^
TMITE – the (corporate) media is the enemy
SMITE/SMIAS – social media is the enemy/ social media is a sewer
CMIAP – conservative media is a psyop
I wuv you man, but be careful. Going to far down the path of everybody is lying, misleading, working an angle can be very unhealthy. SMIAS. But you can pull information out ofit . TMITE, but you can pull information out of it. Recognizing their motivations and incentives can tell what lens to interpret their take through. But getting into the rabbit hole of everything is a psyop and part of greater plan of an enemy can be toxic to you. You need something to be able to root yourself in reality. Seems largely like you have that, but we have to be careful casting everyone as the external enemy. Even when, by all appearances, they seem to be working hard to convince us of that!
Believing lies can be very unhealthy too.
Never thought I’d get to this level of suspicion / cynicism / realism.
Believing lies can be very unhealthy too.
100 percent. That’s the last thing I would advocate. “Tell the truth. Or at least don’t lie” – JBP. But we should also recognize that not everyone saying stupid shit on SMIAS is lying. They’re wrong. Same with the TMITE, though there it’s much more driven by the business model and ideology and is much less forgivable. As much as possible, deal with individuals, accord them the benefit of the doubt and always take the high road. Don’t roll over, don’t accept a lie to avoid conflict. But avoid the morass of sinking into a world where everything is a conspiracy aligned against you. I’m not accusing Trshy
of that at all. But the drive to classify everything at ”The Enemy”; I’m not sure that’s good for us. But maybe realism will require that – just because you’re paranoid doesn’t meant they aren’t out to get you – just be careful. I don’t know if it’s possible to stay psychologically healthy in a world where everyone around you is indeed “the enemy” and knowingly plotting against all that is good and righteous or at least is acting in a way consistent with that, but I aim to try.
^^^This. I went down the ZH rabbit hole in 2008 and lived in fear for about a year or two, stoking it to downright terror, till I cut it off and said que sera sera. Bad things happen and are a-comin’, but I’ve got bigger things to worry about.
To be fair 2008 was the year ZH was right.
Twas only being half serious. I wanted to lightly make the point that the conservative media is just as susceptible to the same low-character tactics as social media and corporate media.
You’re correct about needing to be rooted in reality. That’s massively important.
I’ll add two other related factors. Everything needs to be approached in perspective, and belief should only extend as far as can be verified. The best way to engage with reality is to live life. None of this other shit truly matters. Sure, it impacts us increasingly, but the day to day drama is just sport for political nerds.
Threat to Democracy.
In a video posted to Twitter on Thursday evening, Ciattarelli noted he and governor Phil Murphy are only separated by a single percent in a race that still has to count early and provisional ballots, arguing that nobody should be declaring victory or conceding the election until all legal votes are counted. The process could take about a week or two.
Democrats of course will scream that the results are conclusive. They are nothing if not consistent.
The problem is that mail in ballots that were counted already lean about 2 to 1 in favor of Murphy (according to local news sources). So, while a valiant effort, Ciattarelli is going to lose this race.
It’s the old trick of trying to get people to look in the wrong place. Essex County was an obvious mess, so that’s where people are looking. Meanwhile Passaic magically added 42k Murphy votes at 2 am, hours after they had reported 100% of the results.
Funny how the machines weren’t working when my wife voted.
It was nice of the GOPe to really give a push to Ciattarelli.
“The boy born with a TAIL: Brazilian baby has 12cm-long appendage with ball on the end
The tail after being removed by surgeons, an examination found it represented a rare ‘true’ human tail meaning it a remnant of the one all babies grow and usually reabsorb in the womb”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-9997843/The-boy-born-TAIL-Brazilian-baby-gets-12cm-long-appendage-chopped-off.html
Why are they claiming a true human tail contains no bone or cartilege? I would expect bone or at least certiledge to be a prerequisite for a true tail Else it’s just an oversized skin tag.
As someone that’s broken a TAILbone aka coccyx, I can confirm that they do exist.
In other disturbing news, once while bangin the babymama from behind, I noticed an X scar at the top of her ass-crack.
Post-coitus, I asked her and she said, “oh, my Devil’s tail? Where it was cut off?”
The universe sent me so many signs, and I didnt pay attention….
I have not broken mine, but it was badly bruised in an embarrassing incident (no carelessness on my part) when I was in the 8th grade, and I can empathize.

“And next year we’ll have it down to the level of every single power plant, refinery, every large ship, every plane, every waste dump, and we’ll have the identities of the people who are responsible for each of those greenhouse gas emission streams, and if investors or governments, or civil society activists want to hold them responsible, they will have the information upon which to base their action and holding them responsible,” he added.

Am I correct in the belief that the truck driver guy Durr from New Jersey defeated the state senate President there?
I think the dems found 360M mail-in ballots (cause the USPS was slow) in a storage locker and he didn’t.
So far, he is well ahead. Of course, there are several mail bags full of ballots that must have fallen off the USPS truck and the goodfellas of the Dem party should be finding them soon.
A bunch of news orgs, including New York Times and other “respected” lefty rags have called it for Durr in the past 12 hours.
Yeah, Joe the Plumber won. Whoo-hoo!

From Rebel Scum’s Stephen Moore link:
Why invest when the politicians in Washington are threatening to tax away your earnings in the name of paying your “fair share?” Businesses that make profits are now demonized as enemies of the people in this new liberal anti-growth crusade. They keep forgetting that without employers, there are no jobs.
The income redistributionists who seem to be driving the Democratic Party agenda will soon learn that their pixie dust economic doctrine called modern monetary theory, which posits that Congress can spend and borrow ad infinitum, is a giant hoax. When the political class begins to plunder company profits indiscriminately in the name of “fairness,” the profits and the businesses start to disappear.
That’s just crazy talk. “Employers” exist for the sole purpose of handing out paychecks. All that other stuff about design and manufacturing and satisfying market demand is just frippery and window dressing.
We’re seeing the consequences of the “chump effect”. Why would I go invest time and effort, blood sweat and tears into building a career when Big Brother has shown the propensity to pull the rug out from under me, and my company is glad to participate?
Its a great excuse for me to find a much easier, much lower paying job and focus my efforts on off-the-books income/barter and reducing my family’s consumption by increasing our self-sufficiency.
Seems legit.
The Federal Election Commission has ruled foreign donors can finance U.S. referendum campaigns, opening the door to foreign spending on fights over high-profile policy issues, Axios has learned.
Why it matters: Foreign nationals are barred from donating to U.S. political candidates or committees. But the FEC’s decision — allowing them to support ballot committees — provides another avenue for foreigners to directly influence U.S. voters and domestic policy.
Wow
Man, fuck that shit.
WHAT?!! Why does the reasoning about no foreign money on candidates not apply to policy initiatives too??
If I were to guess, I’d say it is because an initiative can’t have a personal motivation therefore it isn’t susceptible to corruption.
That would be a laughable assertion.
So you’re probably right.
Somebody needs to kick the simulator, I think it’s glitching.

Ah…she needs to take it to a paper towel and draw out some of that water or roast it.

I do!
I love “I.G.Y.”
I figured so, but I’m also a SD fan and somehow didn’t know that album until a couple years back. My vote for best SD song is a triple tie with Peg, My Old School, and Hey Nineteen.
“I.G.Y.” was a big hit in the 80s.
Hey Nineteen and FM and Josie are my faves. “Prays like a Roman with her eyes on fire” is just a killer lyric.
“Do It Again.”
Nope, “Dirty Work”. I love that fucking song.
Also a classic there.
My list of favorite SD songs is probably a third of their entire output.
Kid Charlemagne features the greatest guitar solo ever recorded. Also Josie is great.

From our company manager training regarding COVID vaccination disclosure:
“According to the EEOC, an employer can ask for proof of vaccination status. Employers should refrain from asking follow-up questions about why an employee did not receive a vaccination. Such inquiries may elicit disability-related information, according to the EEOC, and would be subject to the ADA’s requirement that questions be “job-related and consistent with business necessity.” … It is suggested that employers ask only for the bare minimum of supporting documentation, such as a vaccination card or survey response.
(emphasis in the original)
LIMIT THE INQUIRY
“simply asking…is permissible under the ADA because it is not likely to prompt the employee to provide disability-related information.”
“The US EEOC said employees may decline to confirm their vaccination status for reasons that are unrelated to a disability. ‘Therefore, requesting documentation or other confirmation of vaccination by a third part in the community is not a disability-related inquiry under the ADA and the ADA’s rules about such inquiries do not apply.'”
EEOC: Do not have conversations with other employees regarding other another employee’s vaccination status.
Happy Fun Ball – SNL
Why not? If it’s so dangerous that employers can require it, then coworkers can certainly ask too for their own protection.
I need to know which of my coworkers have exemptions so I can take appropriate cootie precautions.
Just following the reasoning they established. It’s the whole foundation for the OSHA rule.

We in FedGov sorta follow that. I cannot ask for a person’s medical information if they are requesting an accommodation, but employees must show their vaccine card to me if they want the not incentives we are offering. Seriously some major flaws in that logic.
I have employees start telling me and I tell them I don’t want to know, go fill out the form (I still have a job to do).

Igor Danchenko’s arrest is linked to a federal grand jury indictment in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia. Durham is charging Danchenko, a Russian citizen residing in Virginia, with five counts of making false statements to the FBI. The charges stemmed from statements Danchenko made relating to the sources he used in providing information to an investigative firm in the United Kingdom.
I still think nothing significant will come of this investigation.

President Joe Biden, having failed twice to convince House Democrats to back his legislative agenda, resorted Thursday to personally calling lawmakers to beg them to vote for the $1.75 trillion Build Back Better Act.
LET’S GO BRANDON!
The song is good.
“Cross of Iron” was a pretty good movie. James Coburn was woefully miscast. I liked how they actually used 1945 era weapons and equipment. When I saw it for the first time my 12 year-old pencil dick stood at attention. (WWII fetish)
More shit you can’t make up…
California Tries to Close the Gap in Math, but Sets Off a Backlash
I’m convinced that all this wokeness is a Chinese psyop.
What? You really doubt we have the native stupidity to do this to ourselves?
Calculus
That is Kevin Farley, brother of Chris, as ‘The Older Brother’ in the fake boyband.
That’s great. It’s perfect parody. I’d never seen it before.
Mathematica Calculis
It wouldn’t be political if parents would just accept that the state owns children and knows what is best for the state.
I can’t wait to drive across a bridge designed by people who passed woke calculus instead of, Ya know, calculus.
Let them drive across first, in a car with only an automatic transmission of course.
+1 Reardon Metal?
Apparently most or all of the Brady kids could have been killed by a rear-mounted camera in the Cedar Point episode, if not for the suggestion of a dummy run.
Galloping Gertie FTW!
Wasn’t that essentially the issue with the Florida International University pedestrian bridge collapse?
One of the selection points of the firm that designed it was it’s diversity.
My wife just found the ‘spam’ folder in her email. “Oh my god, that place is disgusting! Is it always that bad in there?”
“If you think that’s disgusting you should try reading Glibs.” was your response, right?
LOL.
Pray she doesn’t discover the crawl space.
Well it’s not called the Filet Mignon folder for nothing.
She isn’t big on technology beyond the calendar, texting and phone making on her phone for business. Well that and instagram/pintrest – which I told her, is probably where the spam is being drawn from. I just found it funny that all these years she never was email-curious.
The most boring of all 72 genders.
That’s a shitty definition, that booger flicking guy was not a public figure. Among many others.
Good morning!
Good morning to you! I’m off to the land of Nod. God-speed Lolbot.
Hun, if you’re still awake, you’re not ineligible for GFM.
or are you?
Say hello to Winkin and Blinkin
Whitmer’s administration burns documents after COVID-19 rules pushback
Isn’t that SOP for Democrats?
Everything is on the up and up.
Burn? Like, with an insult?
Excellent

As United States senators from West Virginia and Arizona, respectively, Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema are supposed to represent the interests of approximately nine million people.
But because of their self-appointed positions in the Senate as “centrists” — which is to say, “Vichy Democrats” who largely follow the lead of Republican fascists and corporate oligarchs — Manchin and Sinema have become the fulcrum upon which the Democratic Party’s tenuous majority, and its political fortunes, pivots.
I sure Danial Patrick Moynihan would be so proud of the modern left.
I remember when Salon wasn’t so bonkers, when David Horowitz contributed to it.
I was a paid subscriber for a couple of years back at the beginning.
They’ve become just a rag written by children in adult bodies to be read by children in adult bodies (thanks to critical drinker for that insight).
So I was I! Funny that.
Back in those days when I tried to read reasoned arguments on the left and the right. Now I’ve stopped on both sides as they are both crazy.
I would be showing my age if I specified how long ago it was.
(but it was before they solicited donations)
The greatest trick the Devil ever played was convincing man
he doesn’t existFascism isn’t a leftist form of government. Sure, the Republicans are Fascist, but less so than the Democrats. These are the choices we are left with. A Fascist government or a slightly less Fascist government. Overton waves.This. 100%
Well, conservatives keep calling progressives “socialists” so that leaves “fascists” as a term progs can use for conservatives and libertarians. Maybe we should start calling the progs “fascists” (as that is largely what they are). That will, of course, leave “racists” and “white supremacists” as labels for conservatives. Maybe instead of labels, we just attack policies we find detrimental.
Watching this Sen Johnson Expert Panel and man…the fact that nearly all our representatives are telling these people to fuck off is depressing. Watching Ernest talk about his son’s death is heart-wrenching.
