Unfortunately, I am up early today on account of a phone call from my attorney.
Swiss says hello.
I hope Twitter washed their butthole, looks like Elon Musk is about to rip it open. Update: Twitter opened up and accepted Elon’s dick offer.
Globalists! Whatever its France.
Holy shit, a $15 hamburger?
Nothing scrams Muh Democracy!™ like suing candidates you don’t like until they stop running for office.
…and finally!
Yes its a fucking Greek tragedy nobody has thrown you out of one.
whaddup doh’
I tried to stop two retail establishments only to find one had relocated to an inconvenient spot I wasn’t going to go to during rush hour, and the other outright vanished.
Stop them from what ?
I tried to stop at two…
So did Winston’s Mom…
But, fortunately, Winston’s mom uses Jesse brand lube, so that train of frat boys was no problem…
Links with the kinks.
Let’s not get carried away, dear.
Coury is the third judge to rule on complaints lodged by Free Speech for the People, a nonprofit that says its aim is to “fight for free and fair elections, for reliable and secure voting systems, and for the bedrock principle that, in a democracy, all voters must have their votes properly counted.” More recently, the group launched a campaign against officials linked to Jan. 6, seeking to bar them from holding office.
That’s a rather Orwellian choice of name for that group.
“The People” is defined as “those proles who have accepted the Party as their Lord and Saviour” and the key test being that they uncritically repeat the Party’s talking points.
As long as it’s the right ballots being counted, and nobody asks questions.
There was a massive explosion this morning at an oil depot inside Russia in Bryansk. The oil refinery-storage facility is reportedly 70 kilometers inside of the Russian border.
Shades of the opening pages of Red Storm Rising.
Yeah…but Russia has no resources left for anything close to what they pulled off there.
Send in the Devil’s Cross!
“Congress has not created a civil private right of action to allow a citizen to enforce the Disqualification Clause by having a person declared to be ‘not qualified’ to hold public office,” the judge ruled.
So the judge in the MTG case will dismiss the case as well, right?
The article seems to say that the Arizona case was heard by a state court judge — “Superior Court Judge Christopher Coury ruled.” No Superior Courts at the federal level.
MTG’s case is before a federal court, and the Judge is Nina Totenberg’s sister.
Only if the AZ case was decided by a judge in Hawaii.
I just hope Elon restores The Bee first.
I think he’s a fan, so I think that will happen quickly.
The Bee being screwed played no small part on getting this kicked off in the first place.
I think so too. He gave them a long interview and I think he enjoyed it.
Why I mentioned it. Also, they are clearly and openly a parody site.
The left has no sense of humor.
Winston’s mum kills the dead thread.
“Holy shit, a $15 hamburger?”
That’s been a thing at some places around here for quite a while, years. But you can get cheese on it, so…
That is the worst AIER article I’ve ever read. The whole externalities cost of a burger as defined by a dipshit activist (and not an economist).
With the price of ground beef now, I’m not sure you can make one yourself for $15. Well, that’s an exaggeration, but you cannot pay someone to cook it in a restaurant and pay someone to serve it and make a profit for much less than that.
McDonald’s does.
For some definition of “hamburger”, I suppose.
That’s not beef.
I don’t even read stuff like that anymore, they’re just too stupid.
At least they included regulatory costs:
Joel Salatin at Polyface Farms gave an interview where he talked about trying to get an FDA license to sell his pastured chicken. Instead of building and maintaining an expensive slaughterhouse, Joel butchered outside and then sold the chicken at his farm shop. The FDA initially would not grant a license because the regulations required an indoor slaughterhouse with all that entailed to keep clean. I don’t require the exact sequence of events, but the FDA caved and granted the license after taking cultures and finding the Polyface Farm outdoor butcher area had less contamination by several orders of magnitude than a typical FDA licensed slaughterhouse.
Some of my neighbors use grey-market slaughterers. All parties present and no retail resell of meat. I mean this how everyone in the country grew up 50 years ago, but it’s getting rare.
I watched Food, Inc. yesterday for the first time in a decade. Setting aside the “there should be a law” tripe, it was hammering on this exact same issue. What happens when you massively subsidize certain agriculture? You get an abundance of those crops/products.
Joel Salatin should be a household name in libertarian circles. While we’re all sitting around bitching about subsidies and lobbyists and the like, he said “fuck it” and built a thriving farm business despite FedGov and the various state agencies trying to shut him down on the regular.
He was a big source of inspiration to us in starting the farm 9 years ago and striving for (if not quite obtaining) the permaculture approach. I’ve got several of his books sitting on the shelf.
A way to farm humanely, without relying on Big Ag, and without government intrusion or welfare. You’re right that he should be a household name in libertarian circles.
Totally agree. He paved the way for farming practices I emulate as much as possible. And his libertarian principles are to be admired.
I’d be interested in y’all’s takes on getting started in permaculture. I’ve been reading and listening to a lot of permaculturists (Justin Rhodes, Jack Spirko, Joel Salatin, etc.), but the prospect of moving onto a few acres and trying to make the permaculture homesteading thing work still feels quite daunting. With traditional ag, it at least feels like you have a safety net in that you can spray something to tackle the immediate problem. Permaculture seems to be the no-guardrails version.
Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good. This is a whole article, but the Permaculture movement started as something grassroots and then became packaged, sanitized, and marketed. Some of the promoters began feeling greasy to me. I don’t think Joel ever referred to it as permaculture in his earlier interviews, but rather as just doing what felt right and made sense. It just later turned out to be what we know now as permaculture. Stick to that approach. My favorite guests on the Survival Podcast were small homesteaders who never mentioned permaculture but were practicing it in hindsight.
So don’t let it be daunting. Do what seems fun and exciting to you. Start small and then expand. I had to use 10-10-10 fertilizer pellets in the garden this year and did plastic sheeting instead of cardboard to keep out weeds. Not exactly permaculture. My pastures are full of natural fertilizer (manure) but I’m not getting good grass. In my stubbornness to keep to a natural permaculture state, I overlook the ph. All the fertilizer in the world won’t do anything unless I bring a truck to lime the pastures this Fall. Then maybe I can pull a Salatin and raise my fence posts because I actually contributed to topsoil growth instead of taking it away (personal goal of mine).
But I also composted down a 900lb cow and 600 lb donkey in a few months rather than burying or burning. So permaculture check there. I’m having bad erosion in places so ordered hundreds of natural bushes from the VA dept of forestry and planted them in a weekend for natural erosion control around my swales. Double check there. My free range chickens kept getting eaten by hawks, so I switched to free range geese, turkeys, and ducks. Don’t worry about things not going to plan because they won’t. Just have fun, try different things, don’t be afraid to do non-permaculture things when needed, and just keep pushing boundaries.
You receive subsidies because something you consume consumes something that receives subsidies. It takes a rocket surgeon to clarify that for you.
My eyes were glazing over from all the Science! but it was going to be my suspicion that something isn’t on the level there.
It’s a meme country anyway.
U.S. and Ukrainian officials on Sunday discussed the possibility of Russian President Vladimir Putin expanding his invasion from the Donbas region of southeastern Ukraine into the neighboring nation of Moldova — another former Soviet state and non-NATO member in Eastern Europe.
“I think where they go from here remains to be seen,” deputy national security adviser Jon Finer told NBC’s “Meet the Press” in an interview, referring to Russian forces. “But they are a long way from cities like Odesa” — the Black Sea port city in southern Ukraine — “and certainly from Moldova.”
Russian forces “have a lot of fighting still to do,” Finer added, “and we think the Ukrainians are going to be very effective in fending them off.”
Pressed on how the Biden administration’s wartime strategy would change if Russia began making moves toward Moldova, Finer responded that the United States has “shown an ability to be nimble” and “to adjust our assistance and our approach as the Russian war aims have evolved.”
Putinhitler will never stop.
Uh-oh, that’d mean no more cheap Exclusiv vodca (sic). Not the best but beats the hell out of Smirnoff for less money.
That would probably be doing Moldova a favor.
Why on Earth would anyone think that?

If you read the comment on the tweet to which Rebel Scum linked below, the reeeing has already started. But it’s not a party and those people aren’t obligated to say goodbye. Exit quietly, and don’t let the door hit your arse on the way out.
Normally, I don’t like when people take this attitude and gloat. However seeing as Twitter and it’s blue check partisans have become the poster children for encouraging censorship, punishing wrong think and smug certitude of the left’s obviously dangerous policy positions. They chose to conduct themselves this way when they thought they were untouchable. While I don’t think giving them a taste of their own medicine is necessarily the best strategy for trying to turn down the heat on our current discourse, I can certainly understand why people people are enjoying the reeeeeeaping.
I have zero problem with people being treated as they have treated others. They will never turn down the heat unless they get burned.
Government subsidies and regulations have created a vicious cycle. Agricultural subsidies flow to meat producers and the inputs of meat production. Powerful meat producers use their profits to support lobbying organizations that develop regulations to protect them from the competition. These regulations lead to increased profits, which allow big meat manufacturers to hire more lobbyists, and so on.
No shit, Shirley. Focus on that and leave “Muh rainforest!” and that carbon footprints stuff to the EDF and the Sierra Socialists.
“I also want to make Twitter better than ever by enhancing the product with new features, making the algorithms open source to increase trust, defeating the spam bots, and authenticating all humans.”
This is promising.
making the algorithms open source
Hit too soon. This is probably the biggest thing that most will fight against. You can’t hide behind ‘its the algorithm!’ if it becomes open source. It also gives the potential to unluck true alternatives that fork off that open sourced algorithm.
He is right, that’s the only way to get people to trust in it. Plus the added bonus of opening people’s eyes to what’s been going on behind the scenes.
I’m out.
The dark night of fascism falls on Twitter.
As if to prove his point, about a quarter of the responses are copypasta from both sides of the discussion.
“i speak for everyone when I say we dont want you to buy twitter. my 8 year old trans daughter and I are scared of all the misinformation that will come from here. plus you havent paid your taxes”
That has to be a joke, right?

Every liberal who says that they will leave Twitter if Elon Musk buys it will be back on the platform within a week”
Damnit. I was hoping they would all move to Canada instead.
They all go to Canada all the time already, to meet up with their SO. Don’t worry, you wouldn’t know xem.
They’re still getting the important part wrong. Anyone can go to Canada, to really prove your point you have to ‘stay’ in Canada, preferably forever.
I cannot go to Canada.
What did you do? Too many scary guns?
Stayed pureblood.
Same here.
I have refused to be experimented on.
I cannot leave Canada.

Pulling the train on the underground railroad?
I cannot leave Canada.
Pussy
Well, I suppose I could hijack a plane or train or boat or interprovincial/international bus, but that would complicate the remainder of my natural life.
Is it technically possible to leave Canada by taking a private jet?
I suspect it is *technically* possible to leave Canada via a trebuchet… though you may not like the landing and all….
I own and operate an illegal brothel in New Jersey. Complicated is putting it politely.
Just paddle across Lake Erie, I would wait until summer though.
You know they have Twitter in fucking Canada, right?
Too close. Try The Ukraine or Venezuela, MFers. Just go far away.
I’m still not joining twatter.
Does this mean I need a Twitter account now?
*very confused*
I know four people who just started downloading it.
I wonder if the new users will displace the disgruntled and fake ones.
Huh. Interesting.
Download? It’s just a web site. 😉
The app is not a website.
Wait, is it a series of tubes?
Phone people. *shakes head*
☝???
Shhhhh!!!!, I’m downloading the entire thing. Elon has to pay me $46 billion to get it back…
I use the website on my smartphone.
That’s been my question during this whole thing: Apres Musk, won’t twitter be labeled a toxic, Nazi hangout and all of the right-thinking people will just migrate to some other platform, which platform will become the new place where everyone issues and receives their marching orders?
Of course that will happen. But Elon might have plans to counter the effects of that, and I think this will emboden other people to stand up to the left and TMITE.
Certain people will try to label it that way, but many people will stay on because it’s effectively the only game in town. Where else they gonna go? Gab, Gettr, etc already have a reputation as hangouts for Nazis who were booted from Twitter.
TruthSocial garble goodly LIBTURD!~
Also on Twitter you can curate your own feed. Who you follow. Who follows you.
Why would anyone leave if you’re outright banning fewer people?
No they’re just mad they don’t get to punish conservatives.
Oh, open lists of who people have banned would be awesome.
There isn’t anything that does quite what Twitter does. It’s the de facto speech zone for essentially the entirety of the media, politicians, celebrities worldwide, etc. They can’t just migrate somewhere overnight.
If they want to replicate what they had with Twitter, they’ll need to….
Build their own.
I’m sure that will depend on what Elon means by “authenticate all humans”.
I think he meant allow everyone human to participate, which doesn’t include the bots. Some of the lefty accounts have tons of bot followers.
He said he’d get rid of all the bots and authenticate humans. How he plans to authenticate the humans could raise issues if he wants to see ID’s or some other “proof of life” type info.
Submit a pinkie, yakuza-style?
That’s not what he means, by authenticate he means allow access to log into the site. Now if you hear Klaus Schwab or Fauci use the same term, it would probably mean what you just said.
No shit.
Well, you were the one questioning that.
I didn’t question why, I questioned how. How are they going to prove you are a human, and therefor get access to the sight? As simple as a Recaptcha, or go further and tie your account to something unique like a phone number or address, or…?
Daily Turing tests
The humanoid must not escape.
Yes, very happy to hear this. Bots are a scourge that make people sound like they have outsized voices. Once the bots are removed, you’ll see a lot of the most obnoxious lefties are nothing but wet paper bags.
I would assume it has to do with the VERIFIED blue checks, which from what I hear (not on Twitter, mind you…) have been only given to those of the correct Hive Mind. Just why anyone would really pay attention to who is “verified” and who isn’t if this is known I couldn’t tell you — but it seems to matter to some folks.
Dave Harsanyi is verified and I frequently agree with him.
$10/year for access is a start along with monthly password changes.
Even $1/year and limit the number of Twitter accounts per payment account.
I’m waiting a bit to make sure nothing goes wrong at the last minute. I want to arrive just in time for the real pants shitting to be underway. Gnashings of teeth, rending of garments, pouring ashes on heads, lamentations of wiminz, enemies driven before us, music to my ears…
The thought does come to mind: “Could the SEC make up some stupid excuse to cancel this?” I don’t put anything past the FYTW clause of the current crop of bureaucrats, after all.
I’m sure they will try.
Apparently, people like you and me will now be allowed to make others feel unsafe by pointing out the idiocy and mendacity of their posts.
Yeah, safe spaces are going to be in short supply. The left and TMITE will now have to make their new mark by providing online safe spaces.
Libertarian Cocktail Party moment at TOS!
They’re probably busy right now penning articles that align with whatever TMITE is saying.
Taylor Lorenz shits her pants.

The Evergreen State legislature recently passed a bill banning the word “marijuana” from official state law and documents over concerns that it is “racist.” At the same time, to help increase diversity in the cannabis business, a taxpayer-funded task force has been spending the last two years focusing on helping minorities in Washington state break into the marijuana business.
“The term ‘marijuana’ itself is pejorative and racist,” Washington state Representative Melanie Morgan (D) said during testimony regarding the piece of legislation officially known as House Bill 1210, which she also sponsored.
“As recreational marijuana use became more popular, it was negatively associated with Mexican immigrants,” Morgan added. “Even though it seems simple because it’s just one word, the reality is we’re healing the wrongs that were committed against Black and Brown people around cannabis.”
I love the way she goes straight from saying the word is racist, to using it in the the very next sentence.

Tech nerds: do these things do anything? I need something to make my internet as reliable as possible until Elon gives me my Starlilnk.
https://www.campingworld.com/winegard-connect-2.0-wifi-4g-lte-112693.html
Sorry, I’m the wrong sort of tech nerd.
It is taking your cellphone internet service and just rebroadcasting it. I am guessing tethering to your phone won’t give you the connectivity you are looking for? That device will be only as good as the cell service coverage you are in.
^this^
It appears to be a cell service hot spot. You would still need a data plan, and it’ll only be as good as the cell service.
I have no idea. Usually my mobile tethering is fine. I was just looking around for something that may “boost” or concentrate the signal since I’ll need reliable internet for work. If the thing doesn’t do anything, then it doesn’t do anything, and I’ll look for other tools/options.
I’m surprised there aren’t more cellular devices that have antenna connectors.
I always wondered as well. An antenna on the roof would go a long way to improving the signal.
It used to be a standard option on all hotspot devices when only one antenna was required. Modern LTE and 5G systems need/want 2-4 antennas for MIMO capabilities. therefore only the enterprise devices have those connections these days. the Cat4 modem in my B20X uses 2 antennas, and yes, if you disconnect one, the speed gets cut in half. I updated to a 5G modem module, and have to run 2 more antenna cables for the best throughput, but even with 2 it has more capability than the original Cat4 modem.
The same has happened with Wi-FI.. External antennas are scarcer these days because of MIMO.
KK I put this link in sometime last week.. The wineguard is consumer grade. You want real networking equipment. I use Peplink, with my Starlink. They are rock solid.
https://www.rvmobileinternet.com/gear/pepwave-routers/
I would look for a Duo if you are going to want internet on the move..
I use AT&T consumer postpaid phone plans, unlimited Elite traffic. Verizon plans for data only if you know your data limits.
5gstore.com for my source.
I can’t get Starlink til at least next year, but I’ll check into these options! I have Verizon, but they don’t have unlimited data, so I’m not opposed to switching carriers.
…
*Checks OBE’s Verizon data plan* They have unlimited unless we were grandfathered in or something.
When I switched to Verizon a few years ago, they didn’t offer an unlimited plan. Not sure when that was
They have unlimited, but they do play games with hotspot data usage depending on the plan.
Just looked at my account, and I do have unlimited. Go figure.
on VZW the unlimited is usually only the “phone” data.. not tethered data.. and they deprioritizie you after X amount.. to a ridiculously slow number… technically unlimited 100kb traffic.
On AT&T they reduce priority.. but in the countryside the towers are never swamped, so you still get plenty of traffic.
Just checked the Verizon web site, and they have a plan with 50GB of tethering/month at high speed, then lower speeds after 50GB.
Currently I only have 15GB of hotspot data
These devices actually look like “phones” to the network data.. so it doesn’t use a hotspot pool. I would normally pay for another “phone” line and use that sim.. second lines are at a discount.
Otherwise 100Gb of pure data on VZW is $60. I run about 300GB of data including plenty of 4K UHD streaming.
I’ll be interested to see what works for you. I was going to hit up T Mobile for a 5G hotspot as soon as next year. I intend to start traveling about as well. StarLink is great but designed for fixed locations. Seems like a hot spot with cell connection and a good antenna might be better for traveling. You can get a dedicated hot spot that is designed for constant use rather than using your phone. Your phone will start to suffer heat deterioration if you tether a bunch. Ramble ramble….
I would recommend the B20X except it doesn’t have the WIFI-as WAN tethering. I use those at home. We use the WIfi as wan when near Xfinity hotspots, and at other fixed locations that don’t have wired internet.
I personally have the max BR1 pro 5g set up as our remote office and for the RV. It is a bit of overkill, but I have to test the products out.
I know there isn’t an official mobile starlink. but it does work, and roaming is now enabled for all users.
https://www.tuckstruck.net/truck-and-kit/geekery/starlink-for-overlanders/
Even with Starlink you are going to want a cellular backup and the Peplink network bonding allows you to send key traffic like VPN, Zoom etc. via both network links for redundancy. But, I used that single radio 5G peplink last summer for a week of “remote office” in my friend’s class C. Its connectivity is better than than the campground wifi, and we just streamed video, and did all internet via my AT&T sim. You had backup networking at the office… this is your new office, you need backups.
So, ‘splain to me like a 4 year old. What do those Peplink routers do? How do they work with either a) campground Wifi or b) cell data? Just trying to get an idea of how they all connect to each other? If I have a solid cell signal, how does the Peplink work with that? How does it enhance connectivity /reliability beyond my just connecting directly to my phone hotspot?
I clearly have no clue about networking annat.
The peplink routers are multiple network, cellular, wifi, wired. devices.. They will allow you to use any and all of the interfaces via rules to tune the best experience. They also include SDWAN technology that allows you to use all of the available networks together to either boost speed, redundancy, or resiliency.
They work with the campground by accessing their wifi-network. and then providing all of the devices on your network access.
They will work with cell data, they have SMA connectors so you can connect them to antennas on your vehicle to get better signal outside the metal cage. You can pop your cell sim into the peplink, you can have it configured with its own sim for data. You *can* wi-fi tether to your phone.
They will work with starlink when you get it.
They provide you your own wifi-network for your devices.
You don’t have to reconfigure your laptop, phone, TV, etc every time you are at a new campground. Some campgrounds only give you 1 device.. the peplink would be that one “device”
You can tell the system, use WIfi first.. but if that isn’t there, fall back to cellular. Or you can pick the “fastest” connection at the moment.
Thank you!
The DUO devices will connect to 2 cellular carriers at the same time.. and use the best one, or both. This is best for networking on the move.
The single radio devices support 2 SIMS.. but only 1 at a time.. so if there is no AT&T signal, it will switch to VZW.. but that takes 15-30 seconds for each switch.. That is best for fixed camping, and you try each network and stay with the best one in that location.
With using the Sim cards, I’m starting to see why a 2nd device on my mobile plan may be a good bet
They work with both, and you can add antennas to both.
FWIW, the people of #vanlife use their cell phone hotspot with a wireless booster on top of their vans.
We have a 40 ft rv. We belong to FMCA. FMCA has discounts on wifi, insurance, tires etc. Worth checking into it.

Making all the correct moves to deescalate the situation.
Two newspapers – one Swedish, the other Finnish – have reported the governments of Sweden and Finland have agreed to submit NATO applications at the same time and that it will happen in the middle of next month.
Finnish newspaper Iltalehti said that the Swedish government has expressed a wish to Finland that they apply together in the week starting May 22 and Swedish government sources confirmed the information to Sweden’s Expressen tabloid.
First comes the NATO application, then the PTT union…
Finland and Sweden have no legitimate interest in not wanting to be subjugated by Russia and only have the governments they have because of US-sponsored coups.
Nobody says that Finns and Russians are one people. Not even me, who is a quarter Finn.
And yes, joining NATO by Sweden and Finland cannot be interpreted as anything but escalation.
Everyone needs the sit down somewhere neutral and discuss things.
Maybe Helsinki?
And yes, joining NATO by Sweden and Finland cannot be interpreted as anything but escalation.
We’re in a tit for tat cycle with the Russians. Like most such, its hard-to-impossible to say exactly who started it. As far as the Swedes and Finns are concerned, though, Russia looks like its back in the invade-the-neighbors business, so why wouldn’t they want to join NATO?
Should NATO let them join? Well, Russia looks like its back in the invade-the-neighbors business, so . . . . I can see opportunities here for diplomatic pressure; make it part of a peace deal – if we get a good enough peace deal fast enough, no need to admit them. If we don’t, well . . . .
I do not see anyone from the U.S. or western Europe even proposing serious peace talks.
Ukraine and Russia tried the “serious” peace talks – didn’t get too far, other than the poisoning negotiators element.
When everything on the Russian side comes down to Putin’s personal demands – I’m not sure how you can rationally progress in “formal” talks.
It also doesn’t help when the US funded and armed extremists in Ukraine start offing their own negotiators.

We might have had them if it weren’t for the US State Department. Europe (specifically France and Germany) isn’t wholly on board with this clusterfuck, but is being pressured to stay in line. And to be frank, I think the US intends for this war to cripple Europe so that they remain wholly under US influence.
I read something to the effect that some Western European nations (France, Germany, and Spain among others) were stil actively selling war materiel to Russia.
Specifically that European arms manufacturers were still selling to Russia under contracts that were signed prior to the 2014 arms embargo… https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/defence/eu-states-supplied-russia-with-arms-while-pulling-up-india-for-its-moscow-ties/articleshow/91054041.cms
Of course now that that loophole has been noticed, it’s supposedly being closed.
Should NATO let them join?
We should be terminating NATO as an organization and certainly not expanding membership.
Not my circus, not my monkeys. If Putin and Russia are that terrifying to Europe, let Europe step up and take care of itself. I see no reason to expend more American blood and treasure playing as law enforcement for the globe.
Rothbard was right. Running around, fighting commies in every hell hole built up a bureaucracy that we will never be rid of.
Wait..we are about to go into the 22 Stanley Cup playoffs and they are just now getting their buttlicking from the president? Also Gary Batman.

No Sir, not Batman in the least!
Lol. That’s great!

Hmmm, Waffle apparently resets in the afternoon.
What the fuck does this mean?
They never have sex.
I don’t understand. Never?
It is getting a tish out of hand.
Hey, I stopped caring. But then I found out there’s a list, and I want to be on it. Wait, not just a list, a spreadsheet! Or what Tundra said. Whatever.
Oh, you’re on a list, alright.
?
There’s a lot of fucking off at work.
beep boop
Aaaaand, here we go.
Just like clockwork.
Strawberry is a repellent twat.
Don’t shoot the messenger.
Well, I’d like to shoot the messenger IYKWIMAITYD
The good news is they are totally incompetent and good luck with all that.
Problem is even with the incompetence, they have propagandist media and drones of outsized followers that will carry the water. They will do the Section 230 reform, it will tank Twitter and then they will sic the SEC on Musk for its destruction.
I don’t think they will.
So fucking transparent, just not in the way they are saying they are.
“The President is encouraged by those bi-partisan efforts”.
Smart political gamesmanship there. Turning the tables to play “gothca” on the right when people who were in favor of 230 reform suddenly aren’t anymore.
agreed.
But probably too late. The most popular senator in america right now is Joe Manchin who just saw his polling soar for blocking the Biden agenda.
“requiring more transparency” on social media
I, for one, wonder what they mean by that.
Doxxing opponents I would presume.
I assume it doesn’t mean revealing direct coordination between censors and government bureaucrats.
I don’t think so. Not when every other outlet is obviously still being censored in favor of Democrats.
Agreed. They would be making a strategic error. They still control most things.
Yep. They’ll just release the “Twitter is now further right than Gab” talking points to the journo-list and sit back and laugh.
I predict that nobody noteworthy even leaves. They’ll whine for two weeks and then move on to the next thing to complain about.
Two weeks? I give it 12 hours until as the meme states, until the next thing to be outraged about. Like sending another 700 million to Ukraine and now NATO.
OFFS!!
When they lie that often and that big, the truth can’t ever be allowed to reach the masses. That is why they react so crazy to anyone who challenges the narrative.

I think she is too small for even Tres.
Would?
When I was in the military, pissed drunk and lights were turned on…sure.
I need a woman with an ass like a dump-truck and she’s haulin’ 5 tons of fuck.
Solid would.
By the time I got through with her, her t’aint would be a t’isnt.

Speaking of Social Credit Systems – always love to repost this webcomic (great read and excellent art): https://www.hummingfluff.com/lovelypeoplecomic.html
“The World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) Standards of Care 7 (which are actually recommendations) suggested that “fully irreversible” surgeries not be performed on those under 18, except for “masculinizing surgery,” which could be performed as early as 16. More proof? This study on the effects of such surgeries for kids: the youngest participants are 13.”
https://lisaselindavis.substack.com/p/yes-kids-are-getting-gender-surgeries?s=w
“Orchidectomy” is not reversible nor masculinizing so they are doubly lying liars. Our culture is gravely ill.
It’s broken.
They have that ass backwards. Males who get boob jobs are reversible (take out the implants). Females getting “top surgery” is irreversible, as there is no way to put breasts back.
No medical intervention should be done before 18.
Further, people have admitted they are doing surgery on girls who do not have gender dysphoria. Where the hell are the feminists on this?
You mean the TERFs like Paglia and Rowling?
They got unpersoned.
Neither Paglia and Rowling are TERFs. Paglia’s objections are mostly academic, and if recall, she often identified as masculine. Regardless, she doesn’t go around attacking MTF people. Rowling just doesn’t know what she is talking about. I don’t think Paglia got cancelled. She was always an iconoclast opposed by mainstream feminists (her views on rape were a non-starter). Rowling is way too rich and famous to be cancelled.
Regardless, TERFs are against MTF transgender. They don’t seem to care about FTM or who is accepted in masculine spaces.
“Where the hell are the feminists on this?” was kind of a rhetorical question. Since the third wave, they never actually cared about women and girls, and they are showing it now. It was always about toppling the culture and punishing men.
If all of these things are so “medically necessary” why “chest masculinization” at 15 but phalloplasty has to wait until 18?
Badly bent, anyway
So, uh, I’m supposed to go into the office in 2 days, but can’t figure out the fucking covid testing rules. I can’t schedule an appointment because I don’t qualify under the free government testing rules and I don’t have a special voucher for insurance paid testing, even though insurance is paying for it. I can schedule a PCR test if I give them a credit card number, but I don’t want them charging me $140 because they fuck up the insurance. I have no clue if at-home tests are allowed. I guess probably not, given that I wouldn’t have anything to upload besides a picture of the test itself. As a result, I’m combing through the rules looking for some loophole or guidance that lets me in the office.
Just tell them you took an anal swab test and offer it to them for proof. I’ll bet they say “That’s fine. We trust you.”
Be sure to start reaching for your butt crack as you make the offer.
Sorry.
No way I’m putting up with that.
Yup, I’ll do this a few times (we go in office once every other week). This will not be an ongoing thing. It may take a few weeks to finish out the job hunt, but I expect to be at a new company by memorial day.
Best wishes!
I would just go in, and not worry about it. Go with the herd, so to speak. Everyone knows this is done, time to move on, nothing to see here.
Anyway, good luck with the job search!
For the 1st time in 20+ years or so, I purchased a State of Ohio hunting license with the aim (HA!) of taking Tres Ver 2.0 out into the woods, ideally for bunnies or some birds. Looking to set him up with a .410 and/or 10/22. Other than skulking around local gun stores or pawn shops, where can I find those things online? Gunbroker blew me away (hah! again) with it’s “vintage, Damascus-wrapped, only shot once” prices when Im looking for something used.
Those are all places I’d recommend.
I’m partial to GunBroker. Keep your eyes on it, new stuff pops up regularly.
There is also GunsInternational and ArmsList. I don’t like ArmsList much, but I have found stuff on it.
I wouldn’t get him a 410. They tend to string shot, and require much better aim. If he’s not big enough to handle a 12, maybe a 16 or 20?
He is big enough for the 12 ga. After all thats what I learned on.
Then maybe go for the 12? Let him borrow yours and see how he does? I tried shooting trap once with a 410 side-by-side and couldn’t hit shit. They aren’t beginner’s guns.
See if you can find this:
https://www.savagearms.com/content?p=firearms&a=product_summary&s=22440
Single shot .410 with a single shot .22LR on top. I found mine for considerably less than listed MSRP.
Perfect for a beginner.
Loathesome Olympics:
Hunter Biden
Anthony Fauci
George Soros
Klaus Schwab
I’m just unable to rank them. Whichever one Lucifer likes best is probably the most loathesome.
They’d make a great band in hell.
Oh!
Who would be Yoko!!!?
There has to be a Yoko.
I’m not familiar with the lore for that level of hell.
*runs away screaming*
I would swap out Hunter for Joseph, myself.
He can be the MC. Standing in boiling pot of feces.
A little understood, yet relentlessly reviled fetish.
Wut? To each his/her/its own I guess.
??
Hunter’s just an opportunist dopefiend with a sex addiction.
Joe is a manipulative piece of shit who is probably the prime reason Hunter is so fucked up.
It’s amazing we had to elect Joe to find that out.
I for one did not pay him or any of his clan the slightest attention before 2020.
I remember paying attention to Biden along with the rest of the 1994 “crime bill” that introduced the original “assault weapon” ban and his attempts to look tough on crime by pushing gun control along with Mooby and the rest.
Maybe he can get that crazy Irish doctor to yeet his teets.
I remember him leading up the smear campaign against Clarence Thomas during his confirmation hearings.
Biden kept hinting around about “natural law”, eventually saying to Thomas, “You know what I’m talking about!” And then the video jump cuts to deadpan Thomas saying “I had no idea what he was talking about.”
Joe wouldn’t be able to remember he’s in hell. It would take the eternal out of eternal torment.
You’re right in saying Joe is more harmful and has always been a parasite.
But, c’mon, man!
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10752289/Hunters-urgent-plea-brothers-widow-tested-HIV-end-torrid-affair.html
She’s the dumbass who slept with him. It makes you wonder how effed up was Beau and we just don’t know it because he died and got elevated to emotional cudgel.
I’d put Hunter last. He’s a loser but he doesn’t have direct influence like the other three.
Soros-Schwab tied for 1st for global influence.
Fauci for 2nd because his impact is (mostly) limited to one nation.
Hunter last because it’s his connections that are influential. He’d be a nobody of his dad wasn’t well-connected.
“He’d be a nobody of his dad wasn’t well-connected.”
See also- George Bush
Or any Kennedy
I cant remember what tin-horn mouthpiece I was listening to on talk radio at the time, but he was saying that the best thing about Trump was “breaking-up the Bush/Clinton dynasty for 20+ years prior”. I cant argue. There had always been a Bush or Clinton on a ticket for some office whether president or not.
I’d probably vote for Fauci at #1 because of his followers. Soros at #2 because of how he uses his money. Schwab at #3, because as far as I can tell he’s mostly a figurehead for what the leaders want to do. Hunter at #4 because I can at least understand his kind of corruption.
Cocaine is a helluva drug.
If I remember my Dante, Lucifer had three mouths, with Brutus and Cassius (“yond Cassius has a lean and hungry look about him…”) in the right and left mouths, with Judas in the center. Now, I am of the opinion that Cassius and Brutus have done their time, so Soros and Schwab should take their places. Hunter should be on the fourth circle, which is greed. Fauci is deeper, worse. He belongs on the level just below that final circle, the Eighth, Fraud.
re: Loathsome Olympics
Based on which one I most want to see rotting in a gibbet: Foochy.
After that: Soros, Schwab, Biden

A barrage of assault, racism and rape jokes: my nightmare trip into the metaverse
I looked, and I couldnt see where they noted the author or his/her name. “While using that profile I’d set to 13 years old, I was able to access all sorts of things I shouldn’t have. I was using an app that says it’s suitable for ages seven plus, but I kept coming across rooms where people were gyrating and twerking and simulating sex.”
Yeah, that stuff needs to be saved for elementary school.
