I don’t want to do a damn thing today. I guess the kids would say “I don’t want to adult today”. But my four sons don’t give a fuck about my feelings. Nor should they. You feed the tiny people, you change the dirty diapers, you pretend you understand whatever it is they are repeating over and over again, and you try not to scream when the one year old is crawling all over you and decides to take a random nip at your belly button (Him: “oooh-ahhh”, translation: “surprise, motherfucker”). He also then rolled off me and stood on his own. I’m gonna be chasing him down the street in a week or two. I think I’m mostly down because there were no Cadbury eggs on sale at 3 different places I tried. I don’t give a fuck about the cancer, give me the eggggggsss, man. Oh wait, I found the damn cause.
Workplace violence or something more manifesto-y?
Shopping cart of mass destruction, or just a couple years late on a Lakers’ victory parade?
I have no idea what this article is actually about, but I hope she has an Only Fans.
Big hitter, the Lama. I guess this is one of those secret teachings.
I guess we’ll just stay on topic for the song today.
Does anyone really care what shooter manifesto’s say? It’s all just crazy shit.
The answer to that question is “does it validate my political positions?”
Does that matter if a crazy person agrees with you?
If they do, then are they really crazy?
I think it is more along the lines of “does it make my opponents look like jackholes?”
um, manifestoes
How else are we going to improve customer service at the Las Vegas casinos, Count?
manifesti
How many manifestos do you have on your manifeet?
He collects them. It is his destiny.
Uncle Ted, while not technically a shooter, had some interesting takes.
Well, yes, he did, but he wrote a whole book. I read it. He was also doing the bombing thing for a very long time before he got caught.
I heard he really wanted to make a dramatic play out of his writings — but everyone just told him it would bomb.
He tried to fuse politics and entertainment, which is always tough.
He really wanted to spark a conversation.
I thought his premise was dynamite.
The Feds were worried that he’d ignite a revolution.
Stephen Colbert seems to nail it so deftly on a near-nightly basis.
*narrows gaze*
I’ll admit it. I thought you meant Nugent.
I did, at first, too.
Yeah, I’m pretty sure that’s not a good nickname to be using for him. That’s just giving red meat to the FBI agent assigned to this site.
Which one?
No OF, but looks like this might be her IG https://www.instagram.com/tiffany_dover_/
That isn’t the real Tiffany Dover.
Notice how she is now a dirty blonde instead of a brunette?
Also, the several pictures of her are strange; hiding her in shadows or behind stalks of grass…Thai article is only going to excite conspiracy theory speculation.
Check to see if her ears are the same.
Donchaknow Brett, the US Cadbury Eggs are not the same as the UK Cadbury Eggs. Or so people keep insisting.
Hershey agrees. Stay off their turf. Don’t dare import eggs made by Cadbury.
Hershey chocolate is garbage.
Sorry, but barf… Always found Cadbury eggs just disgusting.
And the 1 year old is definitely shaping up to be a solid Florida Man… trying to eat people already! 😉
Re: banker — while if the reddit posts and whatnot being dredged up does imply leftist idiot, I’m going to go with “workplace violence”. Strong runner up: “Post COVID / insanity / economy tanking is fueling depression and suicidal thoughts in Gen Z especially (yay social media and the vitriol combined with unreal expectations) and this asshole just decided to suicide by cop while taking coworkers with him as a bonus”.

More for me. Well, in standard cases
Cadbury Eggs are good. Peeps…the worst.
Reese’s Eggs>>>Cadbury Creme Eggs.
*high fives GT*
Black jelly beans and hollow chocolate bunnies.
Smarties and Circus Peanuts for Tundra.
Smarties are great!
Also Necco wafers.
I was with up until now.
Two right in a row.
But not canadian smarties.
Fun fact: Black jelly beans are actually Easter Bunny droppings.
That’s not Anise thing to say
It’s just the licorice talking.
Reese’s Eggs are divinely inspired.
I prefer their caramel eggs to the crème eggs, which were cool looking, but too sweet for me.
I second this remark.
There’s Something Deep about your version of the Tiffany’s song. It makes me feel a little Blue.
A 30-year-old woman was arrested for arson Friday after allegedly pushing a flaming shopping cart into the lobby of the Los Angeles Police Department’s Southwest station.
California just needs commonsense flaming shopping cart control.
She just got confused because a homeless guy pooped in the cart first.
Police stations need those shopping cart bollards like some stores.
I like how they pegged her with $250K bail. I guess that whole catch-and-release thing doesn’t apply when you attack agents of the state.
An attack on the king’s men is an attack on the king.
Unless you were hired by agents of the state to do it for the cameras. Reichstag fires everywhere!!!
I’m going to break ranks with some people and say we should not release shooters’ manifestos. As long as the same standard is applied to all shooters. And we limit coverage in the press.
Why are you all laughing?
And not give these suicidal or psychopathic individuals the attention they crave, maybe someday getting us back to pre-Columbine rarity?!? What kind of a monster are you, TOK!
Worse yet, what else would all those reporters have to get breathless about?
I 100% agree.
There has never been a single mass killer’s ‘manifesto’ that has been even the slightest bit useful in preventing or mitigating mass killings.
Mrs. TOK, in her wisdom, puts it this way. Every one of those shooters is insane. Sane people do not go into buildings and shoot up a bunch of kids. So what does it matter who they voted for last election?
But how I can confirm my per-conceived bias that anyone who voted for X fully supports shooting people for political reasons?
And yet, there has never been a mass killing which instigated a larger conversation about the state of psychology, pill-pushing, and generally horrible mental health industry that serves political agendas in this country.
Does Ted Kaczynski qualify? He sure had a Nostradamus quality to his predictions.
I think the amount of LSD they gave him during MK Ultra gave him ESP.
No manifestos coming out of Chicago but holding a Glock sideways is mandatory.
I don’t think that could legally be enforced. Media outlets could do it voluntarily (and some have), but that’s about it.
Oh, you’ll get near-universal agreement on a manifesto ban.
After all, if you can’t read it, you’ll just ave to take the media’s word about what was in them.
Did you know the Christchurch Shooter was an ultra-MAGA incel racist who was inspired by Trump’s nazi dogwhistles on 4Chan? It’s true! It was in his maifesto! Why would you want to read it you disgusting perv?
Workplace violence or something more manifesto-y?

Someone had to take the heat off the trans shooters.
I forget, do you work your way up to Dalai Lama (like the Pope), or is it that thing where they pick a kid based on signs or something?
I believe the latter — some kid is chosen as the reincarnation of the Lama soul or something. Don’t know how they decide it, not my religion.
Not clear on the details, but if for some reason they think a kid might be the next reincarnation, they bring personal possessions from the last DL and see how the kid reacts.
Could it be any random kid in a village, or are they marked out ahead of time somehow?
You have to tongue kiss the previous DL.
That’s when the goa’uld transfers from one host to the next.
It is reincarnation so the next must be born after the death of the current.
Maybe that’s how they’ll find the next one. Look for the kid who tries to tongue kiss all the other boys.
A lot of wannabees in some metros, waiting for the call.
There’s a movie!
And another.
I feel your meh, Brett. While dinner was good yesterday, one of my older kids (the two that moved out) decided to have a 3 hour “discussion” (fight) with Mrs. TOK right after dinner. Then we had our last practice before our tournament last night, so I’m going on truncated sleep. Then I woke up with a swollen knee. Most of the time I feel great, but occasionally I feel every bit of 51. Today sounds like an anti inflammatory and 8:30 bedtime kind of night.
Ugh. I hope the fight wasn’t over politics or any stupid shit like that.
No politics. The kid is a mess, has a lot of anger issues and refuses to be on meds. She’s dating a loser boyfriend who mentally abuses her. And recently she lost her job, and can’t find another due to being fired a few times and not being able to pass a drug test. But all of that misfortune stems from how mean her mom was to her growing up, apparently.
These poor girls just break my heart. I would be willing to bet a large amount of money that her hormones are all fucked up and that BC is making it worse. I think I finally got mine talked into doing a full screen and consult with an expert.
Epsom salt soak can work wonders.
And i sympathize with you having to suffer through those discussions. Mothers and daughters are impressive fighters.
Forgot about Epson salt. Time for a long soak after work.
Hope you are feeling better. Ice might help.
Ohhh to feel like 51!
I have a rather large and stubborn stump in the front corner of my lawn that have been at war with for about six months. Yesterday my 58 yo ass thought it was in it’s 40’s and went at it with power tools, digging equipment, and kerosene.
The stump is still there and my ass feels like 15 lbs of chewed bubble gum.
Reciprocating saw on the roots. You will break or wreck a few cheap blades.
That is exactly where I’m at. Went thru a whole pack. The wood on that stump is like concrete.
i’ve drilled holes and used the stump remover; it laughs at me.
haven’t been able to locate a rentable stump grinder, only tree services that get more willing to pay every day.
Can you rent a stump grinder?
Yuck. Every now and then when my boys decide to be a pain in the ass, Mrs. Patzer says “aat least we don’t have girls.” I do hope your daughter finds a way out of that mess.
Yeah, I hear you on the early 50s. The wife is always asking “where did that bruise come from?” and all I can say is “I don’t really know…”
I enjoy your stories of son-raising. I’m glad mine is 23 and on his own, but some of those memories are still gold.
I’m not sure I gaf about manifestos or not. Plenty of people have legit gripes, but still manage to not go on a murder spree. I think news blackout in that regard is totally fine.
I wonder if the kid asked “Hey lama, how’s about something, y’know, for the effort?
Still gross.
No shit. Now do the silence out of the CDC/FDA/NIH when asked hard questions about safety and trial results.
vaxDo gots electrolytes! It’s what immune systems crave!

That it wasn’t drugs?
May 2020 called and said it wants it’s headline back.
Are we back to not distinguishing between dying OF and WITH when it comes to COVID deaths?
Apparently. Because there is no way somebody with terminal COVID can rehearse for a show a few hours before they die.
That he managed to make it past 50.
I’m suspecting diabetes. Especially after rehearsing a show a few hours before.
Eh, my neurologist said “when you are over 80, both feet are in the grave.” Sure, he probably did die of COVID, but, frankly, so what? No different than my grandfather dying of pneumonia, really.
He’s not wrong.
As a male ginger, I approve this message.

Well, don’t buy one of those.
But they are so much cheaper!
Also FBI, We know because we’ve done it ourselves plenty of times.

That Nokia candy bar reissue was tempting. If it could handle Signal and a basic MP3 player, I’d be all over that mother.
Are they still on the market?
It makes me laugh when I remember how the best phones then were the tiniest. I had a couple of nokias that were about the size of a Zippo!
Best phone I ever had. You could get an extended battery and the thing would keep the charge for two weeks.

Beginning of a trend?
If you’re talking about them getting caught, then let’s hope so… But if you’re talking about Badge Bunnies being a thing, that is as constant as the speed of light.
I used to know a guy going to the police academy, and he always said “policemen get some tail, but firefighters? Threesomes, every night.”
I called him Deputy Donut.
That is a collection of ugly motherfuckers, right there…
Krystle. Rhymes with gristle.
At my old golf club, the ownership contracted with a company to retrieve golf balls that were lost to the water hazards — which were tens of thousands of balls per year.
Somehow though, I don’t think the club would get many takers for that contract here.
They need frickin’ laser beams.
There’s something fishy about the Louisville shooting.
“Connor Sturgeon opened fire inside the Old National Bank in the city’s downtown area, near Slugger Field, around 8:30 a.m., the Louisville Metro Police Department said.”
Ah, that’s it.
If he was taken alive, the killer will end up on death roe.
But now he’ll never face the scales of justice.
Apparently he was fired by the bank and basically declared “I’ve haddock up to here with you people!”
In the old days they’d have his head on a pike.
I bet that smelt.
No doubt it was pretty crappie.
So, he did it just for the halibut?
Pretty cutthroat if you ask me.
Of course he was fired for being a dumb-bass. Tried to act like a loan shark, couldn’t pull it off and just floundered.
That’s all right – he’s fin-ished.
He was taken alive? How’d they lure him out? What’s the manditory minnow-mum for this offense?
Holy Mackerel. Look at all these puns. I’m surprised Swissy hasn’t taken the bait.
He’s probably not sure what to mako this.
Just don’t tease Swiss about his eastern European neighbors. He absolutely disdains pollack jokes.
You’d think after so many years of hearing those jokes, he’d be able tuna them out.
He’s had enough, I bet. He’ll just skate away on this one.

First they called the car a Ford Taurus, and later they called it a truck. News people suck at their jobs these days. My wife, a former journalist, is always SHDH about shoddy grammar and fact-checking like that.

In the “Holy Shit! I can’t believe this.” file: while we’ve all seen some True Believers who just can’t get past their new COVID routine and are still wearing their useless talismasks to work, the grocery store, etc.
But I thought that the moo goo gai panic was pretty much banished from businesses — at least those who wanted to attract customers.
Well, I was wrong.
We returned from vacation last night. On the shuttle bus to pick up our car there was a family of maskers, including a kid who was about 6 years old. I turned to my wife and said, “You can tell we’re back in the Bay Area.”
That is a school shooter factory right there.
My thoughts exactly.
“This situation has been allowed to continue because many parents have absorbed the lesson that it isn’t worth it to challenge authority on behalf of their silenced children.”
Well we know who will first accept being in the camps amd praise their masters
I couldn’t finish that article.
“I could tolerate most of the stuff—the teachers in N95s and face shields while standing behind plexiglass barriers, the 12 feet of distance for band members, the ban on singing ‘Happy Birthday’ in class. But I just wanted them to end the outdoor masking,”
Wow. In a several years I hope these kids are able to look back and comprehend just how insane this was.
I was walking the dog on Saturday and a woman came out of an apartment, unlocked her car, and drove off. By herself. Double-masked the whole time.

Calling all Glib car experts. Our 14-year-pold Toyota Camry hybrid (176,000 miles) has been diagnosed as burning oil (about 3/4 quart per 1000 miles). The options are 1) add oil between regular service, 2) rebuild engine, 3) replace with used engine. The latter two price out at around $6,000, while the first has, of course, minimal cost. I’m considering option 1, at least until it gets worse. We will probably be getting a new vehicle in a year or two, but aren’t ready to do it yet. Any thoughts?
Is it truly burning oil? Who diagnosed it? Are there other issues?
I’d probably just add oil, personally.
If you were going to keep the car for several more years then a replacement engine might be worth it. Sound like you just want to limp along until replacement so Tundra is right; oil is cheap.
I just thought, though: do you have air inspection in your area? An oil-burner won’t pass.
BTW, my experience with the used Japanese engines was not positive. The engine ultimately ran but many of the sensors and connections were different.
Different like trying to read English assembly instructions written by the Japanese?
They diagnosed it, but it also lost more than 2 quarts in 4000 miles before that — it had never lost that much between oil changes (every 5000 miles) before. A low-oil warning light is what cued me in on the problem. No other apparent issues.
Definitely thinking of just adding oil until we splurge for a new car. I don’t think it’s worth more than $3000, although as usual a car is worth more to its owner than its market value.
Check the oil at fill-ups, and add as needed. 2 quarts in 4K is nothing for an old engine, and 176k is getting up there. Not drastic, but nothing to sneeze at.
I was just at the auto parts store picking up ac charge. Are all those oil leak sealant additives crap? Might destroy your engine for all I know, but I’d be tempted to try one.
Half a cup of oatmeal should work.
I have never cured an engine mechanical problem with something from a bottle. In fact, I learned that the powdered stuff you put in a radiator to stop a leak will destroy your water pump.
Do you believe in fuel injector cleaner?
At best I don’t think they work. At worst, they cause other problems.
Yeah, don’t do that.
One plugged oil port and you’re done.
Is it blowing smoke? Check the exhaust pipe for residue. Run a compression test (it’s not difficult, and you can buy a gauge for under $50).
Also, check the engine for leaks, and look for oil in the radiator fluid.
Not blowing smoke, but just a slow decrease over time. No leaks, they checked for that, and no oil on the garage floor.
Trade it in for a 10yo BMW that is fresh out of its warranty period/mileage.
LOL
3/4 qt per 1k miles? I don’t see the problem. You probably won’t need oil changes.
/Brit car owner.
First off, check the PCV system for restrictions and if it has a PCV valve change it. A car that has not previously burned oil, but suddenly starts burning oil, is usually due to a PCV issue. Second, if you are not currently using full synthetic oil, now is a good time to start. Synthetics have a higher flash point and are less prone to burning off. Third, 3/4 of a qt per 1,000 is within manufacturer tolerances (Audi allows 1 qt per 1,000km before they will consider motor replacement for warranty purposes – that’s only 620 miles) and wouldn’t qualify for a new motor in a new car under warranty, meaning you could do a new motor and it could burn more and still be “within spec”. Stick with what you’ve got and check the oil more frequently. Also, do not use “Golden State” oil. Read the disclaimers on the back the bottle and you’ll see what I mean.
“The Transgender Bill of Rights: Gay Erasure and the End of Childhood Innocence
With one stroke of a pen, the Biden Administration has the power to roll back everything that Gays Against Groomers has accomplished so far and make gay erasure the law of the land. Democrats introduced “The Transgender Bill of Rights,” which claims to give civil rights to transgender and nonbinary people (TQI+). That sounds rather innocuous. However, one must pause and ask themselves…what rights do transgender people not have? The Biden Administration is doubling down on its Title IX interpretation of “gender identity” and so much worse….”
