“The asshole is a universal vagina through which femaleness can always be accessed,” Hunter purred into Karine’s ear.
“Stop quoting poetry, Hunter,” Karine said, shrugging off his lingering touch. “I’m married to a woman. I’m a gold star and you don’t interest me at all.”
“I want to jizz all over your hair,” Hunter replied languidly.
“Out, Dad!” Finnegan yelled. “Out, out, out, out!”
“Calm down,” Hunter said.
“Don’t tell me to calm down!” Finnegan screamed back at him.
“Did I have breakfast this morning?” Joe asked.
“You had cream of wheat, Grandpa,” Finnegan said.
“I don’t remember having cream of wheat. Are you sure I had breakfast?”
“You did have breakfast this morning, Dad,” Hunter told him.
“Is it time to go to bed?” Joe asked.
“It’s 10:30 in the morning, sir,” Karine said.
The Oval Office was hot and muggy, kept like a swamp to make Joe’s dried meat moist and flexible. Mold grew in the corners and cracks and under the layers of rotting wallpaper. Corruption from the heat. Sunlight rarely penetrated the thick bulletproof window to sterilize.
Hunter and Karine and Finnegan warily circled each other in a tense silence while Joe dozed off, his mouth making chewing motions, eating again his forgotten breakfast. Hunter adjusted and readjusted his genitals in his jockstrap. Karine watched despite herself, fascinated by the workings of the twig and berries she had no experience with.
Stately, plump Buck Mulligan, Finnegan thought in her father’s wake. It was her main intrusive thought, sometimes having it running in her mind all day like some demonically literate jingle. She watched Karine watch her father play with himself and thought again about her life, if the promises of the family could possibly be worth this. Not for the first time or the hundredth she thought about the money, the power and if all this could possibly be worth it. Grandpa had been goaded into running for President again. He was the only man who could save the country, they told him. It was imperative he go through another grueling national campaign. It was brave for him to seek to drool in this office for another four years. And important to risk the humiliation of defeat at the orange hands of Donald Trump.
“But I did have breakfast this morning,” Joe mumbled in his sleep.
I am here today to fight back against the notion that there are homoerotic undertones to Firsting. There is nothing even remotely homosexual about Firsting.
It’s only homosexual because of your narcissism.
The only thing that keeps him from being a solipsist is his desperate, pathetic, need for attention.
Flickers of revelation and understanding. Good.
The images!
Ghaaa!!!
Who is Buck Mulligan? Some Faulkner mope?
I’m not googling that, not even ddg. Being a SF reference, it means some kind of doom.
He loved Big Brother.
Buck Mulligan is a James Joyce character.
Yeah, but in Ulysses, not Finnegan’s Wake.
Close enough for government work.
I mean, this is a story about people in the government.
Ulysses used to be banned as obscene, but the judge showed copies to three of his friends, who weren’t turned on by it, so the judge legalized it.
I’m a gold star and you don’t interest me at all.
I’ve seen this trope before.
Karine watched despite herself, fascinated by the workings of the twig and berries she had no experience with.
Hunter will be her first guy.
““The asshole is a universal vagina through which femaleness can always be accessed,” Hunter purred into Karine’s ear.”
That Pulitzer should have gone to SF.
In case you didn’t get that reference:
https://twitter.com/Serena_Partrick/status/1656235709487783936
I was happier thinking that was fiction.
Barf.
Fuck, I could’ve gone the rest of my life in happy ignorance of that shitbird.
OK, I’ll ask:
WTF is “trans-identifying”?
Someone who wants social credit among leftist douchebags, but doesn’t want to have their genitals actually mutilated.
That is shit you say on coco-puffs
Lol, I didn’t get the Pulitzer reference at all. That’s great. Reality is truly beyond parody.
Not for the first time or the hundredth she thought about the money, the power and if all this could possibly be worth it.
Stop wondering about it and do something about it.
Stop wondering about it and do something about it.
Finnegan, in a trench coat, in the parking garage, with the goods.
It was all pretty disturbing, but keeping Joe’s meat moist and flexible was really not an image I needed.
Oh dear God.
It was seen, and temporarily confused.
I am just toying with you now.
The Oval Office was hot and muggy, kept like a swamp to make Joe’s dried meat moist and flexible. Mold grew in the corners and cracks and under the layers of rotting wallpaper. Corruption from the heat. Sunlight rarely penetrated the thick bulletproof window to sterilize.
Like General Sternwood’s orchid sanctuary.
I was picturing the dilapidated hotel that houses the devil in Barton Fink.
Oh yes, the profuse perspiration in place of inspiration.
Strong start from the Saccharine Salamander …
The Triple Lulz!
And he sticks the landing!
And speaking of apt metaphors…
Mold grew in the corners and cracks and under the layers of rotting wallpaper. Corruption from the heat. Sunlight rarely penetrated the thick bulletproof window to sterilize.
So. Beautiful. Such an apt metaphor.
It was brave for him to seek to drool in this office for another four years.
In his somber chamber in DC, senile Biden sleeps drooling.
Supposedly (but probably not) Nero played a fiddle while Rome burned. Joe drooling while the U.S. collapses is the perfect image for this age.
Ph’nglui mglw’nafh Biden R’lyeh wgah’nagl fhtagn
“In his somber chamber in DC, senile Biden sleeps drooling.”
Are you implying when Joe speaks apparent gibberish, he’s actually trying to summon the Great Old Ones?
refresh before replying…refresh before reply…
Buck Mulligan is a James Joyce character.
Huh. I read it, but it didn’t take.
Two Irish stoners travel across the country in search of the Blarney Stone.
Reading this made me think that we are not the only country with a corrupt elite that uses lawfare to destroy its enemies. Then again, the State Department and CIA are probably helped organize these shenanigans just like Khan’s regime-change they organized.

I want Finnegan to run far, far away.
She’s corrupted. There’s no redemption for her.
Depends on repentance. I think she’s getting there.
The Finn want’s some of the easy Biden money and doesn’t understand why she didn’t get a cut
New normal
That’s because we’re poised to endure at least two major social transformations this century that will reshape the economy — and heighten inflation risks.
The first is the compounding effects of climate change, which will require massive investments in everything from sea walls to electric transmission lines to clean power generation. We’ll also need to find replacements for traditional plastic and discover greener ways to produce cement, steel, and meat economically. It’s a transition that, all together, will require trillions of dollars in new investment. And we will have to do all of this as worsening fires, droughts, and floods — along with climate-related migration flows — threaten to destabilize many societies and destroy productive capacity.
This “green transition” is set to coincide with another unprecedented threat to social and economic stability: an aging and eventually shrinking population. By the end of the century, high-income countries and China, which together have consistently produced about 80 percent of the world’s economic output since at least 1960, are projected to lose more than 40 percent of their working-age populations — even as their elderly populations are poised to rise by roughly 60 percent. This “gray transition” will be extremely costly, requiring fewer people to work harder and longer to support a growing number of non-working retirees.
Handled badly, either of these transitions alone would be enough to generate years of unwelcome price increases as businesses and consumers struggle to adapt to massive changes in the mix of goods and services we need, changes to the ways we produce, and impairments in our overall ability to produce anything. Together, they’re a recipe for prolonged and painful inflation.
The most important thing we can do to mitigate the damage is to start preparing for these transitions now. Waiting until we have no choice risks more upheaval — and more inflation.
Fortunately, we have an elite genius class to guide us through the troubled times ahead.
I have accepted the fact that I will be working into my 80s.
Is ‘compounding effects’ the latest catastrophic bullshit?
All the “direct effects” have been shown to be fantasy so…
Easier to obfuscate with other bullshit, so yes.
Reducing our standard of living was always the point.
Just ours, not theirs.
This “gray transition” will be extremely costly, requiring fewer people to work harder and longer to support a growing number of non-working retirees.
Lemme guess: you have a solution. Let’s call it “final.”
Maybe if all of the workers were concentrated, they would be able to focus their efforts more efficiently.
We still have a fossil fuels issue. Any thoughts on ways to keep warm? Some kind of alternative fuel source?
Logan’s Run: The Game Show!!!
“requiring fewer people to work harder and longer”
How many articles has Vox run claiming that automation will mean nobody will be able to get a job?
Since the dawn of the Industrial Revolution, or more recently?
I just assume Vox articles are written by bots as no real intelligence goes into them.
Start preparing now for our imaginary scenarios, or suffer the consequences!
Past experience tells us we can prevent, or at least mitigate, many of the costs associated with the green and gray transitions. To understand how, it helps to take a step back and think about what inflation really is.
The price of any individual good or service is a function of how much people are willing to spend on it and how much is actually available. Prices of specific items can go up and down for all sorts of reasons, like changes in fashions or efficiency improvements. This is business as usual.
But large, economy-wide price shifts, in the form of either rapid inflation or rapid deflation, come as a result of economic mismanagement, social instability, or both.
At any given point in time, businesses as a whole are capable of producing a wide range of goods and services. They are constantly competing with each other to deliver more of what consumers and other businesses want, while shedding excess capacity.
The job of economic policymakers is to make sure that businesses can produce everything consumers want and make sure that consumers have just enough money and credit to afford everything that businesses are capable of producing.
The Ministry of Plenty will provide, if only the greedy self-interested capitalists can be removed from the playing field.
This is business as usual.
This is drivel, as usual. The parasitic class sustained by our prosperity is in for a rude awakening.
It’s cute when they try to voxsplain capitalism to us.
And no more.
Of course, we also have to make sure that businesses don’t produce more than we allow people to buy. Truly, the burdens of our rulers are immense.
Lack of sufficiently far reaching fascist industrial policy causes inflation.
I never knew that.
Let’s see if this gets through or Internal Server errors come back….
“But I did have breakfast this morning,” Joe mumbled in his sleep.
Excellent.
“Muh narrative control!”
NBC is triggered by Tucker news:
“Will anybody be able to police what Carlson says or is this the point? It’s just a free for all?”
You people really are un-American, tyrannical cuntes.
Free speech is the enemy.
Once a long time ago someone said something about yelling fire in a crowded theater, and that means we can’t have free speech.
I love asking people who say that about Schenck. 99.99% of the time, they have no clue. And usually won’t believe me until they look it up.
I’ve always loved pointing out to the person using that tripe that it came in support of imprisoning Democratic Socialists for opposing WWI.
The mask came off a few years ago. This is no surprise. My only surprise is how many ignorant mcnuggets are out there, listening, believing and defending legacy media.
Finnegan begin again. This is how the handjob story starts.
“Will anybody be able to police what Carlson says or is this the point? It’s just a free for all?”
They have abandoned the slightest pretense of a belief in foundational American freedoms.
Human life is more important than property.
Let’s see how that works for y’all. Commie.

IOW, it doesn’t exist.
Don’t worry, they’re not planning on the war ending anytime soon.

They need time to let everybody skim their portion off the top. I wonder how much actually makes it to the war effort?

Since this is the traditional horror story time, today the cafeteria decided to go with a Japanese theme. So the pizza guy decided to make unagi and avocado pizza.
Unigi is delicious but I have serious doubts about it working with anything other than rice.
You will live to eat man-made horrors beyond your comprehension.
David Cronenberg comes to Food Network?
I ate some wacko pizza in a Japanese beer bar, with what I thought were sprouts. Turns out they were some kind of tiny fish 1/2 the size of rice grains. Tasted ok, kind of like a salty tuna fish.
Looks like it was probably baby anchovies.
I never knowingly ate this toping, but it even more Japanese:
Shirako
If baby anchovies seem too normal of a pizza topping and you’re looking for something even more bizarre, shirako may be the Japanese pizza topping for you. In English it’s known as “cod milt”, which is the polite term for cod fish sperm. Shirako is milky and white, with a lightly fishy flavor—even many Japanese people consider it an acquired taste.
Looks like you think is would.
So, how do they actually acquire the shirako?
That a Cuntes and Cods joke, right?
You can find out on their OnlyFans site, which by the way makes a lot more money than the actual sale of shirako.
I believe they use Winston’ s Mom.
*gags*
Wow and I thought Brazil had a monopoly on pizza crimes.
From Taiwan, boba pizza.
Timeloose:
OT, but I saw this piece of art at Viva, and thought you would appreciate it.
Nice one!!
Sounds like you had a blast at Viva. I’m off to Cruel World next weekend.
I kind of wished it was a Whippet Dog.
There’s also a pin of the Devo Cat. The Whippet would be better, but he does take commissions. 🙂
Viva was a good time, ran into people we’ve met from years past, met some new people, came in under budget. Looks like I’ll be missing the NOFX Punk in Drublic final tour down south, as the girlfriend will be working in her salon, and I’m not planning on going solo to it.
Hope you enjoy Cruel World.
“Cats on synths” is a huge multi-faceted meme in the synth community. Unbelievably widespread; probably greater market penetration than any single manufacturer, or maybe even form factor.

It’s not the size of the cake that matters. What’s important is that it satisfies.
*barf*
I saw the orgasming in the stadium over his birthday there last year. I guess that is going to be a routine because that fucking punk wins everything he enters.
Play best of 5 instead of beat of 3and get the big cake.
