I present to you, l0b0t Webdom the First.
Good things in the Gulch this week. New healthy baby boy and a healthy mom. The shop cleared the health inspection yesterday, and we should be up and running shortly after an eight month hiatus. At the moment, everything is coming up Milhouse in Glibs Gulch.
Links?
We appear to have upset the frogs.
It’s called a condom, dumbass. And HIV funding was paused for about two days.
How many friggin’ candles do you have lit?!?
Are there that many fat people in Brazil?
Keep grasping, retard. Keep grasping.
This should have been done decades ago.
Okay, that’s it for me. Ima get some baby time. Peace out, Glibbies.
It was this, or Justin Bieber.
Is there n auction for naming rights?
I’ll let y’all fight over this one, as long as the second one is named The Other Baby.
They should name it after me.
He’s already named after his great grandfather, SP’s dad. Appropriately so, the dude was incredible.
James, I think you mentioned?
I like that name.
I guess “Gliberty Small-L ….” is out the window now.
Congrats!
“Deeply conservative prosecutors”.
Are these the type of “tough on crime” prosecutors that drop bags of cocaine at crime scenes and say, “what’s this, right by my foot?”
Naw, these are the type of tough-on-crime prosecutors who spend their careers in corrupt shitholes that have open policies of violating federal laws without ever managing to bring a single fucking corruption, obstruction, or aiding and abetting case.
Fuck you. Get gone.
But but but one clerked for Justice Roberts and another for Scalia! Think of their conservative bonafides!
OFFS – “selective prosecution” is suddenly a new thing?
Such as?
Jesus tap-dancing Christ.
The mass resignation is drawing inevitable comparisons with the 1973 Saturday Night Massacre, when Justice officials quit rather than obey President Richard M. Nixon’s orders to fire the Watergate special prosecutor. And in the current moment, the action could create a precedent for further acts of resistance if Trump orders other government officials to do things they find inappropriate or believe would violate their legal responsibilities.
Don’t go away mad, just go away.
I’ve been hearing about how many people Clinton and Gore fired. But not from these people.
Congratulations, that is quite a good looking little Glib.
Street protests have failed to materialize with the same size and passion that characterized protests in Trump’s first term.
To the barricades, comrades!
And then what? Force Trump to resign, and then declare Kween Kamala President-for-Life?
Kamala, leading the polls in the governor’s race in CA. That would really be a joke on all Californians. She’d be positioning herself for a future run for Prez.
California does not elect governors…or any pols for that matter. They are chosen by the machine. Kamala is perfect for them.
Hell, she won’t even be the first female two time loser.
“Hell, she won’t even be the first female two time loser.” <– That especially has to burn. If I fucked my way that high up, I reckon I'd be happy to simply chill with my largesse. I am also not a national politician, or any sort, so I lack the sociopathic genes ~90% of 'em have. (The ones I don't hear about, some hundreds strong? I give them the benefit of the doubt. Their silence is golden.)
Funny how the federal money gets cut off, and the spontaneous grass-roots protests go away, innit?
Tiny, new human is tiny and new!
My parents have three grand kids, all boys. I honestly can’t imagine the life satisfaction and feeling of true accomplishment folk feel when holding their own. Congrats to the parents, especially, and you have Full Enjoyment privileges that come with it. Just pass back to Webdom whenever ya need!
That is one tiny baby.
Has he peed anybody changing his diaper yet?
He peed on himself.
That’s a start.
Well, who hasn’t, amirite?
Pissed on his own face. Had no idea he had that much British DNA.
Even I know the washcloth trick.
The French are upset?
Are they prepared to surrender?
Euroweenies are shitting their pants because they might have to pull their own weight? Good.
I am confused. A guy in Africa has AIDS in a culture that passes out STDs like halloween candy and his marriage in jeopardy…and I am supposed to…what?
Fuck the guy with AIDS, fuck the starving children, the elderly wearing sackcloth and the sad little kittens. The power of weaponizing empathy to rob the American people blind to give to people that hate us has worn off completely for me. Go ahead and call me black hearted, cold blooded whatever so I can thank you for the compliment.
That thing you like so much? Those little pleasures life has? They are bad for you. Stop enjoying them.
I dont take Ozempic.
In protest to slimming down govt and reduce spending they are quitting and shutting down the govt. ? Huh. I dont think they understand how this works. I, for one, endorse their efforts.
If this is failing I hope he keeps it up.
Decades ago? It never should have happened in the first place. One of the things I have noticed about agencies that manage land for the feds and states – they have a strong attitude of personal ownership and want to keep the public out. Not all of them but a significant number of them.
Deeply conservative. That’s why they are quitting. Even conservatives hate Trump. Throw in the towel folks. The cause is lost.
Easy answer,
FUCK THEM
Speaking of candles… a (possibly mentally unwell) dude I don’t want to know said he was trying to change his unhappy life by burning colored candles.
Me: Is it working?
Him: Not yet.
I didn’t ask any more questions, because I was afraid my head would explode from the potential answers.
Candles with colored wax, or candles with different colored flames? Curious minds want to know.
Candles of color you bigot!
I’m going to need to speak to the Council of Ones on this one. We did not grant permission to bestow such a title.
Legit well-played.
I did. TPTB approved. 😉
Andrew Sullivan: “As for that “power of the purse”? Does Vought really think that Kavanaugh or Roberts is about to turn the Congress into the equivalent of Putin’s rubber-stamp Duma? The same Kavanaugh who previously ruled that “even the President does not have unilateral authority to refuse to spend” funds appropriated by Congress? The same Roberts who ruled that “no area seems more clearly the province of Congress than the power of the purse”? Let’s just say that I doubt even this Court will assent to a Claremonster’s view of the American presidency. Which means that all this law-breaking is for naught in the long-term. It’s chaos leading to failure.”
I did, frequently, admire his ‘new’ take on the Left. The rest of his piece does, predictably, include much fearful quaking. Much tail-between-legs.
“Imagine what they might have done. Trump could have announced that Musk and his minions were going in to audit the federal government. Within a few months, they’d bring a report, outlining every insane piece of waste or DEI excess or fraud they could find. Trump would then urg,e Congress to vote on these reforms. ” <– Isn't DOGE simply the equivalent of an executive audit? It ain't like the Legislative is gonna help 'em, and I 'spose SCOTUS can't 'til they get something on their docket.
OFFS Sullivan is still around? That piece reads like a parody bit from The Guardian.
Oh how the once occasionally interesting have fallen into the fever swamps of TDS.
Even a moment’s thought show’s that “If Congress appropriates it, the President must spend every dime” is completely untenable.
So of course Roberts and Sullivan believe that Ii Congress appropriates it, the President must spend every dime.
It’s just hysterical watching the same people who mocked DOGE as an ineffectual publicity stunt throw a hissy fit because it’s actual effective.
“President Trump has a method of operating which the Russians call razvedka boyem —reconnaissance through battle: You push and you see what happens, and then you change your position. … And we need to respond”
TL;DR – Vance called us out on our Commie thought policing and corruption and we’re really, really mad! We’re gonna hold our breath until you give us ice cream!
And my response if I’m Trump: “You don’t wanna work with us anymore? OK, that’s fine. Have fun dealing with Russia, China and the millions of hateful jihadis you’ve let into your countries on your own then. Good luck!”
To be fair, we haven’t been friends with Europe for a while – not when our first priority is throwing them under the bus in order to stick it to Putin.
“No condoms, no [anti-HIV] lubricants, no PrEP, nothing. We can’t stay in marriage without meeting. It means that I have to stay single.”
What a load of complete bullshit. There are non-US taxpayer funded charities giving out free condoms by the dumptruck load across that entire continent.
Completely sidestepping the question of exactly why it’s the United States’ job to provide this clown with jimmie hats…
Funny how the progressive mind carries in it a chunk of the Rev. Thomas Malthus.
I give it under 50/50 odds that any of those condoms are reaching anyone who needs them.
Hey. Whatcha got against Olympic yutes?
Are there, though?
“Mass resignation marks a new kind of defiance in the second Trump era”
Don’t let the door hit ya where the Good Lord split ya.
Seriously.
“K thanks, bye and take care.”
It’s always amusing when people in large organizations begin to think they are important.
Where will we find another attorney in the federal government?
“Vinny Spotleson, chair of the local Toiyabe Chapter of the Sierra Club, argued against more sales, wary of the environmental costs of creating more urban sprawl.”
Ah, a member of the original watermelon organization! Of course he doesn’t want this because as a Commie, he’s against private property and human flourishing in general.
That’s the most ridiculous sob-story I’ve seen yet brought about by Donald’s cartoon villain evil. Well done, The BBC.
“So. Much. Stupid.”
I’m 100% in favor of this “mass resignation of pubsecs” thing
“Keep grasping, retard. Keep grasping.”
Andrew Sullivan is still around? Huh. Who knew?
Do you think they ever saw it coming when they were wielding their power to ruin lives?
I hope they were caught completely by surprise.
Look, there may have been 100 people or so who committed some real crimes. Best we prosecute the other 1,400 so we make sure that we get the ones that really deserved it.

Jeremy’s Razors releases new commercial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UzMXJct5WQ8
Love it. I use the razor and I love the commercials.
That got a LOL outta me. “Also, Steve used it to get a good shave. And he’s a pretty solid guy.” Full disclosure: ‘Steve’ is my go-to name for any random dude. We all know one. And usually, Steve *is* a pretty solid guy. (Except that asshole in high school.)
Exactly opposite for me: Steve is my ex-wife’s boyfriend.
Fuck Steve. Like she did.
Here’s an intellectual take on our Thursday music fare:
https://librarianofcelaeno.substack.com/p/cinema-mediocrite
“The common trait of movies like this is that their badness is foregrounded- unintentionally and generally obliviously- by their creators. The entertainment value lies in the space between what those creators envisioned and what ended up on screen. There’s an entire collection of missing elements- coherent narrative structure, believable visual effects, competent acting, etc.- that makes for something so entirely unlike what was obviously intended that the impact is humorous, like a child mispronouncing a word so badly that it ends up sounding like a different and much funnier one: Poopsicle- The Movie!”
OK, I read the whole thing. Not really.
Damn, I need to post that film!
Oh f*ck yes.

On Jaws: The Revenge – ” The shark, presumably with the computer assistance of the League of Shadows, hacks her travel agent and follows her there, where she’s fortunate to be saved by Michael Caine, who is totally in this movie.”
Reminds me of something he said ’bout that flick. ~”I’ve never seen it. I’ve heard it’s atrocious. BUT! I have seen the house it built, and it’s fabulous.”
How come you don’t roll on Saturday Walter?
Man who threatened to shoot up synagogue arrested on N.J. side of Lincoln Tunnel, cops say
He seems well.
Another hispanic doing the white supremacy that white Americans won’t.
Sullivan either doesn’t understand, or doesn’t want to admit, that the frenetic pace of Trump/DOGE budget cutting is focused on the people and groups that did everything they could to thwart him in his first term and try to throw him in jail on false pretenses after he “lost” in 2020.
Trump is taking out his political enemies. Duh.
EOs are being paused with (politically motivated) judicial TROs. That isn’t the same as “being reversed”. In any case, the judges are making themselves more unpopular and making Trump more popular.
… the CFPB, which was the only thing that empowered the little guy against big financial corporations after 2008.
Remember when the CFPB stepped in when Robin Hood shut down all the small investor accounts that were buying up GameStop? Yeah, Pepperidge Farm doesn’t remember that, either.
“Imagine what [Trump and Musk] might have done.” Everything after this sentence is guaranteed to give Trump’s opponents time to interfere, drag their feet, undermine, and defiantly thwart what Trumpnis trying to do.
Sullivan: everything you say is wrong. Everything you believe is wrong. You are unfit for rational discourse.
You fool no one, Beelzebot.
JFC he’s defending that deep state pile of shit? What a fucking tool.
For a guy who regrets supporting the Iraq War, he puts a lot of faith in large government institutions.
Macron and the Euroweenies can suck it. I’ll give them something to respond to.
*Unzips pants
Those are some prime links.
And has anyone sent that picture of the onesie to Comrade Sanders?
Do you endorse the onesie Trey? YES OR NO?
Pure comedy gold.
Gracias.
“The Americans are approaching European capitals and asking how many soldiers they are ready to deploy,” a third diplomat said.
I guess the answer was zero.
Trump, who took office on January 20, has repeatedly vowed to swiftly end the Ukraine war. He made separate phone calls to Putin and Zelenskiy on Wednesday, leaving Washington’s European allies alarmed that they will be cut out of any peace process.
Those fears were largely confirmed on Saturday when Trump’s Ukraine envoy said Europe won’t have a seat at the table, after Washington sent a questionnaire to European capitals to ask what they could contribute to security guarantees for Kyiv.
US, Russia to meet in Saudi Arabia over Ukraine war
Too bad they couldn’t put together their own peace deal in the last 3 years, for some reason.
“cut out”
Weird, what should they get to do, cash checks?
In. My. Veins.
Get ready to hear a lot more about an ancient Supreme Court decision, Humphrey’s Executor v. United States. They’re racing toward overturning it, which would pour rocket fuel into Trump’s federal government reorganization.
From Jeff Childer’s blog, yesterday.

Just want you all to know, I too have one of Elon’s babies. We will hopefully complete our agreement soon.
Congratulations on the enormous child support.
I’m not sure what’s going on here, but it looks vigorous:

Red State on the DNC being fed up with Hogg: “Just two weeks into his tenure as a DNC vice chair, Hogg has been using the party’s contact lists to send out donation requests for his own political action committee, Leaders We Deserve PAC, which pays him over $100,000 a year, according to Federal Election Commission records.
“David Hogg — talk about living up to your name. A trough of DNC dollars all for him and he doesn’t seem to give an oink,” a top Democrat told The New York Post.”
I find it predictably disgusting that he’s so fucking full of himself. I’m glad I’m not alone, particularly within his own tribe. $100k/yr. *Him* For, again, absolutely nothing but the sound of him slurpin’ his own cock. (Why do I also get the distinct impression he treats his ‘conquests’ like shit? I bet he makes ’em hold him tight while he cries – that’s their primary function.)
I am not surprised that he is that transparently dumb about grifting.
“Some white South Africans showed support for President Donald Trump on Saturday and gathered at the US Embassy in Pretoria to claim they are victims of racism by their own government.”
From 2018:
“In a stunning reparations effort, the South African parliament voted to seize all of the country’s White-owned land. On Tuesday, Reuters reported the parliament voted 241 to 83 to confiscate all land owned by Whites without compensation to ensure an increase in ownership among native inhabitants”
Kylie is my South African ex, “coloured.” She explained how blacks and coloured *really* don’t like each other in S.A., and if you called one the other, you run the risk of getting the shit kicked out of you, which was confirmed by other Saffas. Great example of the inherent racism of “Black,” as if the melanin makes a monolith.
Black=African African black. Coloured=Have white, Euro blood in ’em somewhere.
I thought “coloured” meant Indian. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
But yeah… no shit.
The transformation into typical African shithole is pretty much complete. I have no clue why any whites would stay in that country. Liquidate the assets you have and get the fuck out before it gets genocidal.
It’s a sad state of affairs but when a lot of the men in charge are running around with red berets they strategically chose as a stupid political statement what can be expected?
Good storm rolling through. Little dog scared but thunder and lightning is nice. Moving here has been awesome.
We finally got some proper snow earlier but now it’s one of those temps rising all night things. Observing what looks like a wedding reception across the street and some poor suckers smoking outside.
Sucker for being cold, but winning getting a cigarette!
I quit a few years ago and I still want one every damn day.
Me too, brother.
I guess the groom really needs to think it over.
Don’t do it!
It’s the post-coital cigarette.
Not often thunder wakes me up. That last one reminded me of the rumble of an earthquake.
Watching “Sixteen Candles” – you know it can’t be made today because they helpfully tell you at the beginning how “culturally insensitive” it is.
#notwinningyet
“No, he’s not retarded!”
I like the deleted cafeteria scene for the funny gross menu items. “I don’t want him to know that I eat!”
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088128/mediaviewer/rm3461825536/
Isn’t Sixteen Candles the one where he drunk rapes the popular girl at the end of the movie? The lechery is approaching Revenge of the Nerds level but, at the end of the day, it’s just jokes. Even back then it was distasteful but funny and, no, it couldn’t be made today.
The characters aren’t sure. Nothing like that is depicted.
I was just watching an old Barbara Stanwyck movie, The Gay Sisters (so-named because the sisters’ surname is Gaylord), that has marital rape — not that they called it that back in the day — as a way for one of the characters to have a child that doesn’t run afoul of the Production Code.
You should see The Great Lie, which does some of the most impressive mental gymnastics to satisfy the Production Code and have all the sex be proper and have the right character end up with the child.
Both of them have George Brent, whose purpose in Hollywood seems to have been to play the dull male lead who will let one of the great actresses shine.

Good morning, Sean, homey, and TO’G!
Last night when I went to bed, I’m pretty sure it was 40 degrees and raining. Now it looks like a freakin’ blizzard outside! What the heck, the weather??
Oh, yeah – it’s still February in the northern hemisphere.
Morning.
Right now I’ve got freezing rain that’s supposed to turn into regular rain around the time I’m supposed to start driving to the range 🙁
Good morning, U! Please be careful going there AND coming home – the roads could still be pretty slick! While you’re there, the RSOs will make sure you’re careful, so be sure to have fun!
