Raggedy Hasbeen Desperately Seeks Last Hit of Relevance
Sharon Stone was critical of Joe Rogan amid the ongoing controversy surrounding the spread of COVID-19 misinformation, and Spotify’s decision to add a warning to all podcasts on its platform discussing the ongoing virus.
Stone, 63, spoke Tuesday in Beverly Hills, California with TMZ, where she was asked about the ongoing developments over Rogan and his podcast, which drew attention last month after rock icon Neil Young pulled his music from the platform in protest of Rogan’s content in regards to the pandemic.
Rogan, 54, garnered controversy after a December 31 podcast of The Joe Rogan Experience in which he chat with Dr. Robert Malone, an anti-vaccine proponent who was previously banned from Twitter over the spread of COVID misinformation.
Previously banned from Twitter? Does anyone know where she can get some organic torches and ethically-grown pitchforks?
Of anything, I find COVID is finally letting out the grumpy bastard inside that I always barely contained.

A Man Chopped Off His Penis With Scissors in a Fit of Cannabis-Induced Psychosis, Doctors Say
A man in Thailand’s bong session went disastrously wrong, according to his doctors. In a new case report, they describe how he “completely amputated his penis” using scissors, apparently due to a rare episode of cannabis-induced psychosis. Though the man’s delusional symptoms faded after being admitted to the hospital and his injuries were treated, doctors weren’t able to reattach the lost appendage.
The bizarre injury was detailed in a paper published over the weekend in the Journal of Medical Case Reports by doctors from Chiang Mai University in Thailand.
The 23-year-old man had reportedly been a regular cannabis user for the past two years but had stopped for the preceding three months. He then got back into his habit by smoking two bongs of cannabis, equivalent to two grams worth, according to the paper. Two hours later, he began to experience an unwanted erection, along with a severe and persistent sharp pain in his penis; he also reported that his glans (the tip of the penis) looked “distorted” to him. In an attempt to stop the pain, he decided to grab a pair of scissors and to “trim the penile skin several times.” Eventually, he severed his penis clean off, leaving behind an inch-long stump.
Unsurprisingly, the home surgery caused the man to bleed out. He was admitted to the hospital two hours after the amputation and immediately treated with antibiotics and a tetanus booster. Emergency surgery stopped the man’s bleeding and cleaned his wounds, while he underwent a procedure to create a new opening so he could still urinate through his urethra. Unfortunately, though the penis was recovered, it was deemed too dirty and fragile to be reconstructed and reattached. By the time doctors saw the man, his amputated member had even been left crawling with ants (Yes, there are pictures of the penis and stump in the paper, but I wouldn’t recommend viewing them if you have a weak stomach).

Stone — that’s not so bad for 63yo broad.
She’s not even wearing a mask!
She’s clearly a science denier.
Shades of Kathleen Turner [shudder].
Turner in The Man With Two Brains is better than any Stone.
I don’t know, Romancing the Stone was top notch.
You laugh, but wait until you hear the rest of the story.
I think I’ve mentioned this story from the documentary Electric Boogaloo before, but when Cannon was setting out to make King Solomon’s Mines in the mid-80s, producer Menahem Golan told his underlings, “Get me that ‘Stone’ woman!”. So they did the obvious thing and signed a young Sharon Stone, who was apparently not well-loved on the set.
It turned out that when Golan mentioned “that ‘Stone’ woman”, he really meant the recently-released movie Romancing the Stone, and wanted Kathleen Turner cast. Such are the vagaries on which careers rise and fall.
I saw King Solomon’s Mines in the theater when it came out. I don’t remember much about it, but I do remember it was when I first realized Richard Chamberlain was gay.
Once upon a time, I coveted her voice.

Re: Sharon Stone — why anyone cares what someone who pretends to be someone else for a living thinks is beyond me. I really don’t get the whole phenomenon.
Bloomberg link didn’t work for me so didn’t read the article — but like oh, messing with the immune system — geo-engineering is something we should be rather careful about. Especially if it isn’t something we can back out easily (like spraying aerosols in the stratosphere or something). Probably be a lot easier to… oh, I don’t know… build more nuclear plants or something.
Sorry that the man had a dirty, dirty penis. Such a shame. I imagine he was really fit to be Thai’d after that.

“Cannabis-induced psychosis”? Hmm… I smell bullshit.
He might just have had bullshit sprinkled on his cannabis.
That was my first thought, but better to go with that than be executed for having hard drugs or whatever the punishment is over there.
At his age I’m guessing new-onset schizophrenia, the symptoms of which might have been exacerbated somewhat by the MJ, but it was the schizophrenia that caused that severe psychosis, not marijuana by itself. Ever.

Quebec City trucker convoy
With tensions in Quebec City rising, faced with the prospect of a disruptive trucker convoy , Premier François Legault and the rest of the political class are making a pitch for calm and order.
And Quebec’s Tourism Minister, Caroline Proulx, says the industry has taken a big enough hit with the COVID-19 pandemic. The last thing events like the Quebec City Carnaval — which opens Friday — needs now is to be disrupted by a protest movement.
“I am putting my confidence in the police,” Legault said as he headed into daily question period at the legislature. “I am thinking of the Quebec (City) police, the mayor of Quebec, maybe with the help of the SQ (Sûreté du Québec).
“The rules have to be respected.”
Saying they want to show solidarity with truckers blocking downtown Ottawa, there are reports convoys are being formed in the Beauce, Rouyn, Gaspésie and Saguenay, with plans to join outspoken union leader Bernard (Rambo) Gauthier in Quebec City.
There’s some rumblings about bringing in the military to break up the protest.
To do what, blow up the trucks?
That’ll clear up the roads.
Just like it did that whale on the beach.
That is one of the greatest videos I have ever seen.
Just never gets old, does it?
* This was for Ottawa.
Right, that’s even less threatening.
“Hey dere friends, do you mind-a movin’ those big ol’ rigs dere? I’d hate to hav’ta get oot the ol’ boomstick and chase ya off, eh?”
In my fantasy world, the military would roll in, break out in a spontaneous game of hockey and brews and then continue the now protest to blockade.
“The rules have to be respected.”
Sorey. But you could you please leave us alone, eh?
If the government told you to jump off a bridge, would you do it?
Only if it protects me from covid.

Missouri governor’s health director pick resigns
An alliance of Missouri citizens, activists, and politicians stopped the confirmation of the director of Missouri’s Department of Health and Senior Services, this week.Among the loudest opponents were Bev Ehlen, Missouri State Director of Concerned Women for America, who found allies in Missouri Senators Mike Moon, Bill Eigel, and Bob Onder.
Later in the article:
The opposition to Kauerauf came from a history of comments his opponents say revealed his preference for coercing citizens into following health measures, by making their lives difficult if they didn’t.
Kauerauf is a dogged supporter of masking adults and children alike. And he had made clear his desire to see significantly more Missourians receive a Covid vaccine. About 54% of Missouri’s population is considered “fully vaccinated.”
Kauerauf has also said he opposed vaccine mandates. But he was unabashed in his support of government programs that made life difficult for people who opted not to receive the Covid shots.

Quebec scraps unvaccinated tax
The Canadian province of Quebec is scrapping a plan that would make adults who refuse COVID-19 vaccines pay a special health contribution, premier Francois Legault announced on Tuesday, saying the idea is too divisive.
Legault unveiled the proposed measure last month, saying those who chose to avoid inoculations should help cover the extra costs imposed on the health system by the coronavirus. Experts said the idea would go against the spirit of Canada’s universal public health system.
Legault said he was worried about the divisions that COVID-19 and measures introduced to fight it had caused in Quebec, the second most populous of the 10 provinces.
Somebody high up has some un-vaxxed relatives.
Would they even have to worry about taxes if they were high up? Nah, I say throwing what they probably know are bullshit edicts out in hopes to just makes them go away.
I’m sure glad that Stone backed up her argument with a long list of examples of Rogan’s dangerous information. Oh yeah, she didn’t, just like all the other complainers.

I heard Rogans response today and I gotta say Im pretty disappointed in him. If you dont mind having a warning on your show, thats fine, but he was way too apologetic for someone who hasnt done anything wrong. Now the narrative is that he was forced to apologize for misinformation.
I remember that. Eh.

For many years the President just gave a written report on the state of the union to Congress.

I meant limiting attendance. I do agree with having them just give a written statement, but that’s right up there with rainbow farting unicorns in the realm of possibility.

It snowed maybe 5 inches overnight in Denver (the news is reporting more, but that’s not what I’m seeing). As a result, schools and government shut down.
Move back to wherever you came from already, pussies.
I give us 5 years on our current trajectory before Public Health Priests proclaim life is too risky and prescribe kool-aid to every American.
Snow in Denver is unprecedented. They couldn’t possibly be prepared for such a thing.
This trend has been happening for a decade plus. I remember having classes cancelled at college twice in one year (ca. 2006). Previously, classes had been canceled for snow exactly once.
One was worth the cancellation. Storm dumped a foot of snow on top of an inch of ice. The city buses were sliding around when they werent stuck in place. How did I know? They cancelled class, but not the job fair.
However, that one broke the seal. After that, canceling for snow/bad weather became more commonplace.
Three things seem to be at play. First, career oriented parents bitched about the 5am dance of watching the scrolling bar on the TV for cancellations. They wanted a firm answer the night before. Second, our culture’s risk/discomfort tolerance, especially for kids, is way out of wack. Third, the technology exists to go remote.
snowed maybe 5 inches
We’ll get just enough rain to freeze overnight to fuck everything skywide and handsome. I live on one island in the Mississippi and work on another, so I’ve got to get up the bluff and then slide back down it for both commutes tomorrow.

We’re being warned about Winter Storm Landon, expected to drop 12-18 inches on us by end of day tomorrow. Or what used to be called winter.
The fact it got up into the 40’s yesterday and today and has been raining all day will make it suck.
Something something cabal of pedophile elites.
Professor Stephen Kershnar suggests sex with a minor might only be harmful because of the way society reacts to it and not because of the actual act
He isn’t wrong. Disgusting, but not wrong. Our protection between minors and adults is a positive step for humanity that isn’t all that old.
I don’t buy it. How young is a minor?
True there, I guess my statement would depend on what the number set is.

They want minors to get abortions, sex changes, and vaccinations without parental consent, so is a minor consenting to sex that far of a step?
It’s interesting how obsessed they are with the sexuality of 14 year olds.
It is one of the formative years and probably the easiest to mold into their sick twisted fantasies.

President Joe Biden on Wednesday relaunched the federal government’s cancer “moonshot” initiative, with the goal of cutting the death rate from cancer in half over the next quarter-century.
“We can end cancer as we know it,” Biden said during an event at the White House.
The initiative is personal for Biden, who lost his son Beau to brain cancer in 2015 and who first launched the initiative as vice president.
“I committed to this fight when I was vice president,” Biden said Wednesday. “It’s one of the reasons why quite frankly why I ran for president. Let there be no doubt, now that I am president, this is a presidential, White House priority. Period.”

Melinda French Gates, co-founder of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, will no longer be pledging the majority of her wealth to the philanthropic organization.
According to the Wall Street Journal, French Gates still plans to distribute much of her fortune across philanthropic endeavors, but largely outside of the Gates Foundation, which is one of the world’s largest.
“I recognize the absurdity of so much wealth being concentrated in the hands of one person, and I believe the only responsible thing to do with a fortune this size is to give it away – as thoughtfully and impactfully as possible,” French Gates wrote in a new letter.
“The ultimate goal of any philanthropist should be to render the need for philanthropy obsolete,” the billionaire wrote. “It’s important to acknowledge that giving away money your family will never need is not an especially noble act. There’s no question in my mind that the real standard for generosity is set by the people who give even when it means going without.
“That’s why, as part of this pledge, I commit to doing more than writing checks. I also commit my time, energy, and efforts to the work of fighting poverty and advancing equality – for women and girls and other marginalized groups – in the United States and around the world.”
You should just bulldoze the money into a big pile and burn it.
Isn’t she just Melinda Frenxh now?
Philanthropy will be obsolete when poverty is. Just about as likely.
Fuck you Hyperbole for making me think if the Canadians are the same as BLM with them blocking traffic. Fuck you with a rusty spoon.
It’s not even close. They’re worlds apart.
Are they? BLM strolls down some bridge and denies access for their stated political goals versus truckers deny access for their stated political goals?
At least the truckers are at the capital, I guess?
(the methods are admittedly similar, albeit for wildly different goals)
Its not the truckers at the capital, it’s the ones blocking the border*
* if they are in fact doing that, as others have noted the reporting on this is pretty shitty.
They have gotten the province to drop covid mandates and are allowing traffic in both directions last I heard.
Alberta might lift Covid restrictions this month.
According to Rebel News, the truckers opened up a lane so that people caught up in the blockade that wanted out could leave. As far as I know, they kept vehicles in place to prevent crossing the border.
Found an updated story. Yes, they are now allowing one lane through across the border, and the government agreed to drop the Covid restrictions. The truckers will restore the blockade if the restrictions aren’t lifted.
OK, sorry, I missed the newer story when I looked to find an update on the situation.
Right and the Tiananmen Square guy was a BLM dick for blocking tank traffic.
BLM are after positive rights. The truckers are being infringed upon and are trying to preserve their negative rights. The ballot box has clearly failed and we are facing fewer options. Blocking traffic is a far more restrained response than the truckers would be justified in. The lampposts in Ottawa should be full right now.
He was blocking the people actually doing the aggression, these truckers* are fucking with people that have nothing to do with the mandates and such, and just want the get to the store/work/home.
* again if they are actually blocking the border.
So you’re arguing the truckers should go straight for outright rebellion? That’s what going directly for the people putting out mandates means. Let’s not pussy foot around. As soon as the first petty bureaucrats are strung up, it’s going it to be rivers of blood.
fucking with people that have nothing to do with the mandates and such, and just want the get to the store/work/home
And these people who just want to get the to store/work/home are showing their papers right? Enablers and collaborators. That puts them in the same camp as those asking for the papers. There are no innocents in a papiere bitte scenario. Enforcement is not possible without the support of the population.
I’m arguing that aggressing against people whom haven’t aggressed upon you is a dick move no matter how righteous your cause may be.
There are no innocents in a papiere bitte scenario
Why not? if I’m neither for or against it, you forcing me to take your side is just as bad as them forcing me to take theirs.
And I’m arguing that they are aggressors. Indirectly if not directly.
Societal pressure releases can be messy. The trucker protest is one form.
You really want to play the “indirectly aggressors” card? May as well just admit that you have no core principles and will happily use the violence inherent in the system to achieve your preferred outcome.
Core principle is every person enjoys negative rights. Those who act against negative rights are aggressors. Twist and weasel against that as much as you want.
Yeah nah.
A border crossing is a choke point created by the state. People are harmed when it’s closed mainly because the state is denying them other options.
The government started it by blocking the truckers from crossing borders at the outset. Don’t lose sight of that.
And that is where I come back to they are not the same.
In Philly, BLM protestors spilled out onto the interstate and were driven off by water hoses. They sued the city for “excessive force” and won damages. So, at least in some places, blocking traffic gets rewarded.
Marxist grifters who weren’t serious about police reform (problems with policing aren’t about race) vs. folks that want the government to leave them alone.
It’s not even close. They’re worlds apart.
They knew from the start
Deep down in their heart
That BLM and Truckers were worlds apart
But their mothers said, “Never mind, your part
Is to be what you’ll be”
Fair enough.
It is actually why I love you around. I picture you walking around all day with a handmade shiv popping our bubbles

How was this not the music accompaniment for the post?

They might have to change the line “six inches forward and five inches back” to something more culturally realistic.
Fuck you Hyperbole for making me think if the Canadians are the same as BLM with them blocking traffic.
How much property damage? How much looting?
Let me know when the truckers start assaulting police or random passerbys.
I’m continuing my mariande experiment where I’ve gone and picked up different oils for comparison. I picked up Safflower*, Extra Virgin Olive, and
SMITHRape“Canola”. For my first test, I put some $0.99 chicken thighs in with the same seasoning set (a plethora of herbs, salt, and fresh black pepper, not that old can I used last time). So far I’ve found that the olive oil made a very green marinade, the safflower oil made one that was almost white, while the rapeseed was in-between. I’ll find out if there’s a difference in flavor after letting the chicken soak it in.*I’d heard of it, but never seen it available in the grocery store before, so despite the high price, I decided to give it a try.
Good choices. I usually use olive or vegetable and canola
First thing to decide — does this marinade need oil? Most don’t.
If yes, then if it’s European/Hispanic use olive, else something neutral. Peanut oil works well in asian food. Soybean oil is almost always hydrogenated.
I use only three kinds of oil. Olive for non-asian cooking, corn for baking, and peanut for asian stuff.
Given that the base formula for a marinade is 3:1 oil:acid, I’m not seeing where you’re getting that “most don’t” answer.
What formula do you use?
FWIW I never have used anything close to a 3:1 oil/acid ratio and I make a mean marinade.
What would your formula be?
I don’t measure out but I’d say closer to 1:1 oil/acid. I like using extra light olive oil, apple cider vinegar and OJ as the base. Sometimes I’ll sub the OJ for lemon or lime juice. And then the spice blend. 3:1 seems like it’d be very oily.
That’s the ratio for salad dressing.
Where are you getting that formula?
The internet. I didn’t keep a list of sources for more specific linkage
You can’t believe anything you read there.
There’s a reason I’m experimenting. Control one set of variables, see what happens, control another set, see what happens, and so on.
Curious on the ‘most dont’ either.
A liquid mixture, usually of vinegar or wine and oil with various spices and herbs, in which meat, fowl, fish, or vegetables are soaked before cooking
Yes, that’s a traditional marinade. Many of which are derived from sauces. So the oil is often for cultural reasons, not that is does much of anything.
The two most important things are acid and salt. Alcohol is very helpful because it is both a solvent and a bit amphiphilic.
Coke a Cola Is good. Makes a nice marinade.
Also, by “European” I pretty much mean “Mediterranean” — places that grow olives. I know nothing about Scandinavian, German, Eastern European, etc.

That penis story was brutal and the pics are indeed squirm inducing. Yeah, I’ll agree with the doc, that wasn’t weed it was a schizophrenic episode. In another lifetime I went to Thailand to visit a friend who’d been living in SE Asia for a year. She really wanted to see the sex shows in Patpong, specifically she wanted to see sex in a tuk-tuk that all the places seemed to hint at but none could deliver. So we spent a long evening going from one joint to the next and saw many incredible feats done with vaginas. After several hours and locations we began to notice how to tell a lady boy from a born female from a distance was that the line of the labia majora (through the thong bikinis) was higher on the lady boys. We never did see sex in a tuk tuk.
You mean the three wheeled vehicle? That tuk tuk?
Yup that very thing. She had seen signs advertising this and got it into her head that we would see it. By the end of the night we were trying to get into weird Japanese only places that wanted no part of our Western asses in there

Ridiculous.
“The ADL just minutes ago changed its definition of “racism” as a response to the Whoopie situation. Her claim that Hitler wasn’t racist because racism is something whites do to blacks is founded in the critical theory definition of racism used by ADL. Now erased.”
I called it.
I knew those assholes would cover for her. Worthless, hypocritical shitstains.
Shit gonna get real..

The truckers need more guns,
Ron DeSantis likes the truckers.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has expressed his endorsement of the Freedom Convoy in Ottawa, Canada, and other truckers protesting the Canadian government’s federal health mandates and restrictions.
In a post on Twitter, DeSantis tweeted an image in support of the truckers on Tuesday that read, “Truck Yeah!”
That was a great video! I really enjoy those situations where the band doesn’t really like a song, but the suits release it and it blows up.
And Debbie still sets my heart aflutter.
USMNT v Honduras now in Mpls
1º LOL
Hey now, we are going down to 2 degrees the same day, not funny,
Two degrees is twice as warm!
Behold the power of Global Warmening!
OK small lol.
I hope they picked this venue on purpose.
The friendlies against southern opposition are always in Texas or LA in order to put Latinx butts in seats. This game means something so we might as well try to gain some advantage.
*remembers the WC qualifying game against Costa Rica in six inches of snow a few years ago*
It is funny though, 🙂
“THEY CALLED OFF THE OTTAWA COUNTER PROTEST BECAUSE THEIR PERMIT WAS DENIED DUE TO COVID 19

“We support Neil and we agree with him that there is dangerous disinformation being aired on Spotify’s Joe Rogan podcast,” they said in a rare group statement”

How is David Crosby still alive?
And believing that anyone gives a shit about their position on Joe Rogan.
JFC this whole episode is approaching peak stupid even in current year.
PS. I never imagined the “lovable dope” from News Radio was going to evolve into a cultural lightning rod a couple decades later. Good for him.
I never watched Fear Factor, but the Man Show with him was awful. I also never expected Jimmy Kimmel to turn into a political clown.
