This is a test.
Yep, I’m all themed out this week. So just some random stuff, and links!
This is how you protest the government.
Huh. It’s almost like people are taking more responsibility for their decisions.
This hurts more than being hit for $3T.
Please, let it be so. The entertainment factor would be stupendous.
With stories like this, I don’t understand how Team Red didn’t run the table. Except their Team Red and that’s what they do.
Sorry. I’ll have a theme next week.
Alex Jones is a knuckle head though!
It’s a good night. Made it too my connection. Not sure about my bag, but whatever.
I need to jog more…. eh… nah… screw that
Mr. Jeffries, 52, concluded his grave presentation with a lyric by the rapper and fellow Brooklynite Biggie Smalls: “And if you don’t know, now you know.”
Mic drops aren’t what they used to be.
How did all that work out for Biggie?
“ Despite that, most singles still want to take a more personal approach to getting to know their partner. Forty-eight percent say they prefer to talk to them on the phone, while 43 percent are comfortable texting. Only 29 percent like conversing over social media and just 11 percent chose the metaverse.”
Jesus people, learn to dance and socialize or go to church or something.
Wannafud?
Is talking in person no longer permitted?
The people trying to spin what Elon Musk is doing at Twitter as hilariously incompetent keep getting it wrong. Such as a piece saying Elon was begging anyone at Twitter who knew anything at all about how to code to show up at his office, because he had no one left to do the coding.
In fact, Elon * ordered * anyone with coding experience to submit examples of their finest work and show up and explain it to him, presumably to:
1) Find the incompetent posers, and fire them
and
2) Teach him how everything works, the same way he bragged that he literally knew how every single part in a Tesla worked, and what it looked like, and why it was designed that way, so he could optimize the vehicle.
Those that can, do. Those that can’t, teach. Those that have their heads up their asses become journalists.
Umm, the West Hollywood story featured a “moderate” Democrat beating some more “liberal” Democrats.
The way a story I read before Gavin Newsome became governor called him a “moderate”.
Hunh, I wonder how Republicans didn’t win any of those Congressional seats in the general where under Top Two, you had a “choice” between two Democrats … and no one else.
If you have any kind of shift to the middle in West Hollywood, that’s significant. And if that happened in SoCal, you would have expected it to be amplified across the country, yet it wasn’t.
That was my thought, too.
Are we witnessing what it finally takes to make the voters sick of the left’s shit? Just how bad is it there?
Yeah, note that in a state that rejected the change to easier fraud and had a court draw swing districts, TEAM RED picked up something like four seats.
Yeah, and I’m not hearing much about that.
I expected the Dems to be squawking about “stolen elections!” by now.
Are we witnessing what it finally takes to make the voters sick of the left’s shit?
Look at the difference between last election and this one in Oregon and you will see that perhaps yes
Off to Cali for sons 21st bday. Turn around trip but plan on getting him his first legal beer at midnight as long as the bartender doesn’t get all righteous.
1 in 5 single adults more hesitant to have sex since Supreme Court flipped abortion ruling
Unfortunately, the folks who will either abort their offspring if inconveniently pregnant or will foist the raising of their kids onto the taxpayers will pay no attention to this.
Mr. Jeffries is the son of a middle-class social worker and a substance abuse counselor, who became a high-powered litigator. He still lives in the heart of Black Brooklyn and often pairs his suits with sneakers. Outside of bipartisan federal sentencing reform, his own legislative record is relatively thin, pointing to a sharp learning curve ahead.
So basically a Ben Crump, but instead of mau-mauing lefty cities into settlements whenever a criminal gets justifiably smoked by the cops, he’s jogging around the halls of Congress. Fortunately, he can be ignored, at least for now.
AOC thinks he isn’t “progressive” enough, so there’s that.
Is a substance abuse counselor someone who teaches you how to use drugs?
My corned beef and mashed potatos turned out great.
I forgot to cook the green beans though.
🙁
If you did it right, there was no room on the plate for green beans.
I am trying to have leftovers for future planned meals to make use of.
Corned beef sammiches??
Don’t know if you’d also have leftover mashed potatoes, but those can be made into potato pancakes if you mix ’em with an egg, I think. (Admittedly not proper latkes, but yummy nonetheless – ideally with applesauce. Or sour cream. Or both.)
Knowing Uncivil’s love of cabbage, I’d imagine he’s going to make Bubble and Squeak.
Corded Beef Sandwiches are on the list of possibilities, once I bake the bread.
You can still eat raw green beans.
Turkey day is coming up
Back when SNL could be funny.
The pleasant surprise was that that host could be funny.

::realizes that would involve logging onto Twitter, thinks better of the whole idea::
I noticed my account is still active, I dropped him a note
Prediction: Trump’s constant airing of grievances proves to not be as entertaining as when he actually shitposted and trolled people.
IOW Trumps return to Twitter will be a bigger letdown than The Browns.
I don’t think he’ll return, but then again he doesn’t seem the type to be capable of turning down attention.
I don’t think he can come back. Doing so would be an admission that Truth Social isn’t working as well as he’d like.
Trump should have bought Twitter instead of creating his own. (Although I doubt he could raise that much scratch)
A thought: Trump’s run for president is just a marketing campaign to increase traffic to Truth Social.
I got a “This tweet has been deleted” message.
Zoomies for tonight. Log into Zoom first, then hit the link.
Turkey and all of the rest of the meal was excellent. Drinking wine my MIL made at the winery she is now volunteering at.
She tests the pH and helped to update the cleanliness and product consistency and I get free wine.
House hunting. My landlord wants his house back this spring.
I looked at a 31 acre foreclosed hay farm today. It would be an hour commute to my work, Internet access is basically only StarLink, and it needs a lot of work (dead flies everywhere, standing water in the basement, etc…).
Still…it had a nice barn and a poll shed that would fix up nicely with a little work. The hay farm could be a side hustle. Premium hay goes for $5-6 per square bale…
I got exhausted just reading that.
Banks wank their money, they may want to move fast. Could be a work in progress. Although an hour means lots of gas to and from and a long work day. 31 acres of flowers for bees, I see honey in your future.
Wanking money sounds kinky.
Quality lynx.
Wouldn’t it be pleasantly awesome if the Iranian people overthrew their ruling idiots?
Maybe it would become a good place to emigrate to.
Found my first official white hair yesterday! YAY! First reaction: It’s gonna be gooooooood. I’ve still got boyish good looks. Fit (within reason). Kinda cute. Lock n’ loaded.
Bad news on the same front! It was also bitterly cold today. Upper twenties, but my body isn’t at all used to it yet. As always, one gets acclimated. However, the first cold also sparked the first hip pain of the season. It too, goes away, but it feels more severe this time. However, I’ve also cracked my femur on that side since last winter! So who knows what’s going on down there!
Sigh.
It will go away, and I haven’t the time nor inclination to complain about it. I got (mostly) over my little emotional moment in the car and it has passed. Little sparks will likely come with other oddly climactic days.
Wolverine was always my favorite growing up, and it’s gorgeous how my life has mirrored his. Same superpower. I’m, no-shit, the closest to a superhero that most people know. It’s mostly sunshine for me, but the downsides still aren’t pleasant.
Onward. Upward. Always.
Wait until your pubic hairs start turning white.

I don’t have any grey hair, it’s all turned white.

Fred Armisen is a capable drummer, and the movie linked is worth a look. His comedy is low yield and generally a pass for me: the hits aren’t worth the misses you’d need to wade through. But this movie is intriguing, and it hits a theme that seemed to evolve during the virus kabuki: many comedians are more attractive non-comedy roles and tasks….they’re just the guy next door but smart and fast and funny even when it’s not scripted.
I do enjoy Portlandia.
It is an amusing show.
So The Orange One’s welcome to come back, eh? Whether he takes him up on it or not should reveal whether he wants to actually win or whether he’s just angling to try to avoid prosecution with a candidacy. Should be good for some yuk yuks regardless.
I have the feeling that Truth Social will go the way of Trump Steaks and the USFL. Swept under the rug.
Sununu hates GOP voters
Unless and until GOP voters understand that faux-Republican elitists like Chris Sununu, Mitch McConnell, Larry Hogan, etc. are NOT their their friends, their allies, on the same team, blah, blah, blah … but that these elitists actually despise and loathe GOP voters … there is no hope of saving the GOP from permanent minority-party status.
Here is Sun-King Sununu in Nevada obviously referring to GOP candidates like Don Bolduc, Karoline Leavitt, Blake Masters, Kari Like, and calling them CRAZY … which means he views the voters who nominated them as CRAZY. Do you get it yet? He never wanted Bolduc and Leavitt to win.
More on Democrat lawsuit to stop a recount
I haven’t read the law, and I’m not that familiar with what is going on for this recount, but I have a bad feeling the Democrats are actually correct with their lawsuit.
At issue is the recount in Manchester Ward 6, where Republican candidates lost 22 votes in the process, an unusually large number. The loss of votes dropped incumbent GOP Rep. Larry Gagne below challenger Maxine Mosley by one vote, handing her the win.
Almost immediately, GOP observers began suggesting that a stack of 25 ballots was missed during the recount process. After comparing the count in the House race to the results of an audit of the votes in that ward in the governor’s race, Secretary of State Dave Scanlan said Thursday more counting needed to be done.
“The total number of ballots cast and counted for the office of governor in this district is greater than the total accounted for so far for the [Gagne v. Mosley] race. This indicates some ballots have not yet been counted in the recount,” Scanlan said in a statement. “Reconciliation revealed there is insufficient certainty that all ballots cast in that race have been recounted, necessitating further counting.”
In their lawsuit, filed on behalf of Mosley and state Senate Minority Leader Donna Soucy (D-Manchester), Democrats argued Scanlan’s declaration of a winner in the Ward 6 race was “final,” even if proven to be incorrect.
“At the conclusion of the recount Democrat, Maxine Mosley was declared the winner by the secretary of state. The secretary of state’s declaration of Mosley’s victory was posted on the secretary of state’s website,” the lawsuit reads. “Pursuant to RSA 660:3 and RSA 660:6, I, the declaration by the secretary of state is ‘final’ subject only to a limited basis of appeal to the Ballot Law Commission.”
A little trip down memory lane:

That video was in heavy rotation when I went to Germany for work, over 20 years ago at this point. An enjoyable trip for, uh, reasons and a fun song and video. Who doesn’t like a dude in a penguin suit doing the running man?
That’s perfectly awful.
Have something also perfectly awful. Sadly, no video, but this stupid song stuck in my head for decades before I could find it again.
I don’t hate Turntablerocker.
Your link is extreme German…
It’s so Bairisch I can’t understand most of the words.
You can’t fool me. That’s the bass line from Seinfeld.
Prima!
Since we’ve got a lot of beer fans here, try this piece of doof.
The song really does go round in circles.

Gayer than the bus to gay town. Why all this sudden pro alphabet posturing by the various teams? It is no surprise that a Middle Eastern muslim country is not gay friendly. This was known when the Cup was awarded.
I am two minds about the sudden decision to pull the bait and switch about the beer at the stadiums. I am against the bait and switch because a contract was signed that included beer sales. But the banned beer is Bud. So the hosts are doing fans a favor. If a German Bier was booted, I would be high dungeon.
That decision was dirtier than a pig in slop and everybody knows it. Glad it’s finally getting over with.
I’ll be watching but sadly the time shift means no beer of any kind for me, not when it’s during work hours and in the mornings and early afternoons.
*sets down remote*
After my second viewing in two years I must say, The Natural is overrated melodrama.
Also, screw that kid in Dead Poets Society who killed himself because daddy refused to payroll support his collegiate theatrical ambitions. If theater was that important to you you would have refused the money for college and applied at some art school or got a job or whatever to pursue your dream. Hell, struggle. It will improve your craft, you pampered little shit. But no, daddy won’t support you so you throw a temper tantrum and off yourself before you even made it to legal drinking age. What was the point of that damn movie anyway? A Romantic poetry lover takes over a classroom and fills rich kids heads with existential yearnings resulting in the suicide of one of his students and the ruin of his own career. But hey, at least the rest of the class was…inspired?…What the fuck sort of message is that?
Everybody in that film was an asshole.
The message I got out of those was baseball is boring and Robin Williams sucks.
Morning to the Glibs on the right side of the planet. Whatever to the rest of you.
Hemispherist! 😉
Good morning, Sean and Ted’S!
Technically we’re on the left side since most world maps go from the International Date Line 360 degrees around.

Morning, Sean, Teds’, and GT

Good morning, 4(20)! You’d probably feel right at home here in SW OH today – it’s currently a balmy 16 degrees! 🥶
Good morning, everybody!
In relation to one of the songs I posted yesterday, here’s some music for the morning.

Sad. 😢
Two thoughts.
1. Who says that?
2. Here comes another National Conversation.
WTF is wrong with people, shoot up a place and rot in jail? Life makes no sense sometimes.
Republican-induced violence, obviously.
BREAKING: Nikole Hannah-Jones is an asshole.
Yo, that’s some serious RBF.
PSA to l0b0t – it looks as if your links are set for 8:00 a.m., but the server (?) is on Central time.
Thanks. I don’t think i should dare waking WebDom again, she is not feeling well.
In that case, how the heck are you? Any fun “silly college kids” stories to dish? 😄
I’m quite well, thanks. Cold, but well; we’re getting the remnants of the snow that clobbered Buffalo.
Would she punish you?
Yeah, but it wouldn’t be the enjoyable kind. It would likely involve wearing a mascot costume and doing outreach (handing out coupons) to the college kids.
The mascot for the coffee shop would be a…flower pot??

Did he screw up the sidebar too?
/sarcasm
That I can’t tell.
Hey, Ted’S! Here’s your big chance! Give us a classic film review! Something with a Thanksgiving theme, maybe?
GT – Thanks for the reminder about the time difference. I’m barely awake and am trying to fix this.
What, no links? OK, then…
