It’s the time of year when my hockey practice keeps getting canceled because not enough people sign up. Even though we have one last tournament in 3 weeks. 🙁
I have been working on a secret 5-part series of articles, only one left plus some editing. I should probably copy it into WordPress and edit there.
Sorry about canceled practices.
Thanks for the articles. LMK if you need anything.
I will, I have your email and I’ll let you know when they’re ready for scheduling.

It was my mother who insisted my father put Dr. on the family checks when I was growing up.
He stopped doing that as soon as they split.
So, I guess I should ask – I am currently in the process of a series of media reviews (unconnected works) which should have about 64ish installements. I’ve written 14 so far – when should I start turning them in? I don’t want the powers that be to overtake my output before the end of the series, but I also don’t want to just flood them in all at once…
Start a mail bombing campaign and then when you’re finished with the full series mail it in to the Washington Post promising to stop if they publish it.
Dude, this is Glibs content. I don’t want to give it to a lower prestige publication like WaPo
Probably depend on what the time per article is. If it takes a week to write one, that’s different than a day or two. I’ve asked if there are any preferences from those who manage the schedule.

What about tragedies?
How ’bout them Gators…
An alligator killed a Florida woman after tipping over a canoe she and her husband were paddling, which investigators say appeared to be an accidental encounter.
Your reminder (as if you needed one) that Florida is the Queensland of North America.
It’s only an accident if you deny the gator agency, speciesist!
I thought that was only parts of Miami.
“…487 unprovoked attacks…”
“…It’s near the same location as a March alligator attack in which a woman was bitten on the elbow while kayaking.”
“…The most recent fatal alligator attack was in February 2023…”
“…investigators say appeared to be an accidental encounter.”
I get it. They tell us gators are not by nature dangerous, dont attack people etc. because they dont want gators being killed on sight and thus going extinct. I understand the fib but let me clarify things a bit. After alligators are 10+ feet long and 1000+ lbs they are not scared of you anymore. To them you start looking like a snicker’s bar. This is a giant meat-eating lizard with a dinosaur brain. You are made out of meat.
If you trigger their stimulus response eat instinct they are going to fucking eat you. Stay out of water where large gators live. Especially dont go to the edge of the water and hang some part of you over the water or make any kind of splashy noises. It is a real life monster, people. They are not pets or exhibits in a zoo. The danger is very real.
There are a number of them on my property. The smaller ones are a pain in the ass because you can hook all of the fish you want but good luck landing them. Oh well, I will catch another fish. I have only seen one in ten years that was in the 10′ range. I dont go to his house, he doesnt go to mine. We have a good fences policy and it works well.
*Note: A farmer down in Avoyelles parish shot one a few years ago. It measured 16-1/2 feet and close to a ton. He shot it because he noticed calves disappearing for a few months.

He’s just trolling the seas.
He’s really riding a wave of popularity.
I’m sure this will keep the Iranians at bay.
I’m not shore what the point is, but we can’t seem to hold him at bay.
Also, my kids think this joke is hilarious right now:
Why do seagulls fly over the sea?
Because if they flew over the bay , they’d be bagels.
Sent to my grand-daughter..
It’s not trolling until we finally have seas of cheese.
This will create a maelstrom of controversy.
Oh, because supposedly Arabia are our “friends”? You know, the country where almost everyone who committed 9/11 originated?

Results showed that, compared to control treatments, spicy treatments led to shorter reaction times, lower accuracies and pain intensity ratings, less negative emotional responses, smaller N1 and P2 amplitudes, and shorter N1 and P2 latencies, especially for minor-pain stimuli. These findings indicate that spicy food intake may have an analgesic effect.
Time to swap out the Extra Mild salsa for something with a little kick. Science says it’s good for you.

Would you like a
Jelly Babypepper?Not that the research is without value, but I Just like the way peppers taste in my food hole, and it requires no further explanation than that.
Yeah, and I found you can build a tolerance.
Not long ago sriracha was too hot for me.
Now I like that for a mild kick, or X-tra Hot Red Hot for something more a’spicy.
I tried a couple different habanera sauces but I rather disliked the flavor 🙁
That’s been a thing for a while. In fact, I’ve heard (and shared the tale) that the guy behind the Hot Ones got into the path of breeding super hot peppers specifically to help create more potent sources for it.
This being an open post, I’m going to bitch about petty trivialities.
I’ve been using unscented Speed Stick solid antiperspirant for a couple of years, because I got a huge deal on a quantity of it. Prior to that I used Mitchum unscented gel. My Speed Stick cache finally ran out, so I bought a two pack of Mitchum, since alas, there was no deal to be had on Speed Stick this time ’round, and while I do like not having to wait for solid deodorant to dry, gel doesn’t leave a white residue.
Popped the cap and applied it after a shower, and had to check the label. Mitchum Unscented always had a bit of a chemical smell to it (which I kind of like, tbh), but this one seemed to have some kind of perfume-y smell. I was cursing myself thinking maybe I accidentally bought the Mountain Fresh one instead of unscented. Nope. Right there, front of the label, big block letters: UNSCENTED. Flipped it over to check the ingredients. Third from last: Parfum (Fragrance).
I don’t know when the formula changed. I’m sure there’s some legal standard for what constitutes “scented” that allows for this, and I’m not going to sue over 7 bucks worth of deodorant anyway, but what kind of shithead markets a product as unscented when it isn’t?
I’m trying this out presently. While not an antiperspirant, it’s supposed to block odor for 24 hours, and I don’t sweat all that profusely as a general rule. I can’t really say how well it works yet, since after 48 hours, my underarms still smell like that fruity fucking fragrance in the definitely-scented unscented Mitchum.
Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
Oddly enough I can relate. Mrs. TOK is allergic to just about any lotions, makeup, or detergents, so I’ve gotten used to the unscented laundry soap and dryer sheets we use. So I also like unscented deodorant. I used to use Degree solid unscented, and then Arm & Hammer solid unscented, and sadly my local stores don’t carry either now. They also tended to be the cheaper options. Jerks.
Yes, Frau ZWAK is deathly against any smells: laundry, soap, anything.
I don’t think I have any actual allergies or anything, I just generally don’t like perfume-y smells. Although the scented candle section at Walmart does give me a headache. I used to use Club Pinaud Lime Sec from time to time, because I love lime, but the top note burns off in about 10 seconds and you’re left with just Old Spice, basically.
Whats funny is that the wife, who hates all chemical smells as described above, loves real perfume and has a huge collection of it.
Which I cant stand.
The lack of perfumy stuff in our house is nice. Most people have a bunch of competing scents on them (soap, shampoo, lotion, detergent, dryer sheets, deodorant, and finally perfume). Mrs. TOK doesn’t even like me wearing cologne anymore.
ZWAK:
The girlfriend has no sense of smell (and a greatly reduced sense of taste due to this), and a lot of allergies. So I’ve got to use specific brands for things like laundry. However, she continues to buy scented lotions and body butters and creams and such that are… potently scented. There’s a couple I’ve asked her not to use when I’m around.
Yep, same boat here Neph. I tend to go for week long road trips once of twice a year by my self, and I know (’cause she told me) that she wears it and just lolls around basking in the scents.
But, no scented laundry detergent!
Poor Ms. Neph.
If she’s anosmic, why does she buy smelly things?
Toxteth:
Because she thinks they’ll smell good. I think I’ve finally gotten her to understand that anything floral/rose is generally going to come across like a grandma scent.
Oh, it sure do. 🥀
My mom likes a rather dated perfume that makes me cough; only on special occasions, thank dog.
Have you ever made a list for her of your olfactory preferences?
If you’re going to spend $7 a stick anyway, get something without aluminum in it at all.
Also, scented unscented is a kick in the pants. I’d be livid.
Meh, I’m unconcerned with aluminum really. Been using aluminum-based gels and solids since I was in middle school, so whatever damage there is to be had is probably already done anyway. While the single mineral stick costs the same as the two pack of Mitchum, it should end up lasting a year or more from what I read in the reviews. I like that it goes on without any residue and has no smell whatsoever. I’ll have to see how it works longer term once the smell from the old one wears off.
Dry Idea?
The rock ones don’t stand up to warm weather, especially not for 48 hours.
Hadn’t seen or heard of that one. I’ll bookmark it for a tester with my next Amazon order.

Dunno about parfum in either.
But definitely no odor in the crystal type. There might be a roll-on as well as the solid.

You lost me at “unscented”. That just does not compute for me.
I’m just trying to grok all you people (you know… YOU people) using antiperspirant/deodorant. Haven’t put any of that stuff on in 30+ years. Is it the norm in the general pop still?
Name checks out.
Remember when they used to just rumble, or shoot each other?
A drone carrying a pipe bomb crashed at a house in a north Dublin suburb in the early hours of Monday.
The drone was being flown by one criminal faction to target another when the intended attack went wrong.
Them O’Duke boys are at it again.
Not never meanin’ no harm.
For suburb read slum, at least here.
That’s council estate over there.
Yes, that.

Coming soon to the US of A. Some jurisdiction is going to flat out defy SCOTUS (as opposed to constantly revamping rules to avoid prior SCOTUS decisions).
That’s not the point. The point is that “activist” trannies demand that you deny reality in order to satisfy their whims. There will always be a small number of those who command outsized attention so that this issue will probably never go away.
When everyone is special, no one is
A majority of Britons may now consider themselves neurodivergent, meaning they have a condition such as autism, dyslexia or dyspraxia, according to a leading psychologist.
Francesca Happé, professor of cognitive neuroscience at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience at King’s College London, said reduced stigma around these conditions had led more people both to seek medical diagnoses and to self-diagnose.
Don’t worry, scrote! There’s plenty of ‘tards out there living really kickass lives!
Something tells me “neurodivergent” is the new
gothgay.Neurodivergent is more the new queer. It can mean nearly anything.
I believe queer still requires picking one of the 57 genders and yeah most of them don’t mean anything but I am pretty sure the leftist component is still a requirement.
Maybe it gets them in the front door at the National Health Service so they can get that ruptured ACL looked at.
Don’t knock ‘em, without neurodivergence two-thirds of the commenters in on this very site wouldn’t be here. Not me though, I’m a rock.
Gooble gobble! 🍻
To be fair, you talk like a fag and your shit’s all retarded.
I have not been officially diagnosed … primarily because I don’t care.
Chin up scro, lots of neurodivergents are living kickass lives.
Wut?
My first wife was ‘tarded. She’s a pilot now.
I remember when ‘allergic to gluten’ went through the same cycle.
I have to confess : I am not special. The world was spinning before I got here and will keep spinning long after I am gone. In a couple of generations I will be another nameless, faceless, not here anymore people like the vast majority of humankind that came before me.
Darn.
Eh, my wife does legit have an issue with gluten – I was skeptical when we met but I’ve seen enough bad reactions (belly a bit swollen, terrible cramping) to acknowledge that there’s a problem.
But we’ve also been out and seen people with insisting on their “gluten allergy ” while ordering and then promptly ordering a beer with the meal to know there’s a lot of bullshit out there.

An embarassing phone conversation about Ukraine politics between two high profile US diplomats has surfaced online. The audio clip of a woman and man is purportedly between US Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland and US Ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt. The two people are heard discussing strategies to work with the three main opposition figures. She is heard telling him that she doesn’t think boxer-turned-politician Vitaly Klitschko should be in a new government and also saying “f**k the EU.” The date of the conversation was not specified but the events it describes appeared to have taken place in the last days of January. It is not known who uploaded the audio clip and reports that it was the Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin have not been confirmed. This episode will be embarassing for the US as President Barack Obama has denied the administration is manipulating the Ukrainian opposition. Report by Ashley Fudge.

“It is not known who uploaded the audio clip.”
Only a journalist could write something that clueless.
That came out back in 2014.
Well, he DID say there was nothing new under the sun.
I thought “President Barack Obama” sounded off but lol that sentence…
“denied the administration is manipulating the Ukrainian opposition”
hahahahaha

He owes it to the country to step aside
Now, a startling picture of relapse and its associated cost is being associated with him after a deeply sourced profile on Fetterman was published Friday in New York Magazine’s Intelligencer by reporter Ben Terris.
Democrats on Capitol Hill have yet to comment. But the shock from the profile’s reporting was evident across social media and on political talk programs.
“He needs to resign,” The Bulwark’s Jonathan Last, a supporter of the senator who wrote that he “was the first person to suggest that John Fetterman could run for president”, said on The Secret Podcast with co-host Sarah Longwell.
Longwell, who agreed, called the piece’s revelations “career-ending.”
In the piece, Terris quotes extensively from Fetterman’s former chief of staff, Capitol Hill veteran Adam Jentleson. He also relies on statements from current and former employees in the senator’s office who describe a man harrowed by the challenges of his office and struggling to accept the help he may still require to recover fully.
They wouldn’t be saying that if he was as reliable and responsible as Barbara Boxer.
The Night of the Long Knives.
called the piece’s revelations “career-ending.”
I agree, Jentleson should never work again. Who’d trust that guy?
They are as predictable as they are stupid
I saw Fetterman talking just a day or two ago. He was fine

Massie on DOGE cuts
This wasn’t widely covered in the news, so I will tell you:
Congress was scheduled to vote on rescissions THIS WEEK to cut the waste that DOGE found, but the votes were quietly canceled.
Whatever would we do without giving money to the paid revolutionaries that make up USAID and the pretentious douchebags that make up NPR? Pathetic really, no wonder Musk bailed.
Because they were gonna lose that vote?
Quietly cancelled. He means Johnson. I have a strong suspicion that guy is a snake in the grass.
Suspicion? He absolutely is. Should’ve listened to Matt and kicked him out too.

Disorderly conduct.
(1) A person is guilty of disorderly conduct if the person:
(a) Uses abusive language and thereby intentionally creates a risk of assault;
Seems like that could qualify. No idea how the statute is interpreted there though.
Be a lot less of this sort of crap if there were the possibility of a disorderly conduct
charge.
Might be harassment as well. I hate to suggest that someone get arrested for
doing what they did, but since “fighting words” seem to be dead, if they don’t
have to answer for their actions by getting popped in the mouth, I’m out of ideas.
100% certain that none of that commie scum gives two fucks about trannies.

One of the interesting bits was that while living in Chicago, high-school drop-out Gary Gygax was working at an insurance company (his playing wargames taught him to do actuarial tables like a pro), and attending night school.
People would try to break into his house while he was gone. A clip of his wife being interviewed relayed the time a guy nearly beat the door in, but Gary happened to be home sick that night, and he grabbed his gun and chased the guy away.
It is an interesting look at a small company’s growing pains. People hired to do one thing get stuck doing something completely unrelated. Dave Arneson, co-creator of D&D, had been hired to develop new game ideas, but he got stuck in shipping, and wasn’t happy about it.
Thank you. This looks like an interesting supplement to the Witwer book I read a while back.
