I’m afraid Spud is probably at a strip club or something. So you get more of me.
Let me give you something to discuss:

Neither page will load for me.
First one loads for me (occasional X user, but not logged in,) but the second one “does not exist.” Extraneous characters in the link, maybe?
Second link fixed
Thank you! Because what I found, when I DID log in to X and hunted down the originally-linked tweet, was…weird. 😳
GT, I remembered you mentioning Brute Force the other day so I started shopping ebay for WEBN gear.
They have one.
After being banned I deleted the app which limited what I could read.
Now I can see as many posts as I have URLs for but not any replies.
First page: hot Italian chick daydreaming about Roman glory and, oddly, Mussolini
Second page: Captain Planet telling not to have children so Gaia won’t be sad.
I thought I was paying for better links. ☹️
“Here’s this” falls on the right side of the hot/crazy line, if that helps.
Ahem. I am not at a strip club. I’m in a foreign, hostile land(Portland) without my lap top. And fuck if I’m doing Links on my phone.
Translation: Strip club.
It is foreign…..
A strip club in Portland (assuming Oregon)? *shudder*
Portland is the original home of Suicide Girls!
https://www.oregonencyclopedia.org/articles/stripping_in_oregon/
Ya know when *I* go to the strip joint, I never bring my computer. Ideally, when suitable talent appears, she duly designates herself to *become* my lap top.
Make it rain $2 bills! (They like funny money.)
Because Portland has never been known for its strip clubs…
I’ve seen the women in Portland. The last thing I would want is to see them strip.
My friend in Portland says all the strip clubs are dead or dying. Says he went to Acropolis a while back and the place was empty, only one stage open, all the beer taps were shut down and they only had cans of cheap beer instead.
We theorized that it’s probably a one-two punch of covid lockdowns followed by OnlyFans.
Also, the population of Portland has changed a lot since 2000, when they were in their heyday.
But how was the steak?
Portland strip club sounds awful. Lots of Adam’s apples and purple hair.
TheRoyalSerf is far too pretty. Honestly, I imagine that really would be tiring, much of the time. (See also: Being 7’5″ or 4’10”.) She’s also hot enough that I could get *real* tired of all her shit before I actually *really* got ‘tired’ of it. It’s tough being a social primate when (nearly) ‘every’ not-taken adult really wants ‘some’ sort of attention. (‘Sucks that THEY always get more than ME!’) Someone nailed it the other day: Write an Impossible Article when a woman gets the ‘exact’ amount of attention she both wanted *and* received.
The second vid didn’t work for me. So I went back to the first. This was a wise decision, but stop interrupting beautiful Italia with clips of fuckin’ el Duce. He’s ugly. Big reason why he sucked.

If all the world’s people are my siblings then I’m sleeping with my sister.
In high school in the 1980s, I had a coach that used to say “…and if my Aunt had balls she’d be my Uncle.”
Good thing he didnt live to see the recent trans movement.
Some more Captain Planet population propaganda:
https://platedlizard.blogspot.com/2025/07/captain-planet-environmentalist.html
Man, they really had a Malthusian fetish on that show.
We used to watch Captain Planet in elementary school. Sigh.
Good find, that article, Michael Crichton’s: “Environmentalism is a religion,” first published in ’03. It’s very good. Never read him, but I’ve seen likely a dozen of ‘his’ movies. (Ranging from spectacular to fairly cringe. Not necessarily his fault.)
“There’s an initial Eden, a paradise, a state of grace and unity with nature, there’s a fall from grace into a state of pollution as a result of eating from the tree of knowledge, and as a result of our actions there is a judgment day coming for us all. We are all energy sinners, doomed to die, unless we seek salvation, which is now called sustainability. Sustainability is salvation in the church of the environment. Just as organic food is its communion, that pesticide-free wafer that the right people with the right beliefs, imbibe.
Eden, the fall of man, the loss of grace, the coming doomsday—these are deeply held mythic structures. They are profoundly conservative beliefs. They may even be hard-wired in the brain, for all I know. I certainly don’t want to talk anybody out of them, as I don’t want to talk anybody out of a belief that Jesus Christ is the son of God who rose from the dead. But the reason I don’t want to talk anybody out of these beliefs is that I know that I can’t talk anybody out of them. These are not facts that can be argued. These are issues of faith.
And so it is, sadly, with environmentalism. Increasingly it seems facts aren’t necessary, because the tenets of environmentalism are all about belief. It’s about whether you are going to be a sinner, or saved. Whether you are going to be one of the people on the side of salvation, or on the side of doom. Whether you are going to be one of us, or one of them.”
My gun collection should be increasing by two: I bought the P220 Legion, and won a P365 Fuse.
Sounds like good news on the NA front. Not being much of a handgun guy but curious about the caliber(s).
The p220 is in .45 ACP. I bought it to compete in a division that rewards bigger bullets.
The Fuse is a 9mm. But supposedly good for smaller handed people. Also free.
Thanks. I had a 1911 Ithaca but gave it back to the friend that had originally given it to me. I ‘owned’ it for about 15 years or so.
I am amused they used to make guns here of all places. The factory is long gone but for some ruins where they channeled a waterfall to power it and a lone smokestack visible from miles around and which I am surprised they kept.
Singer Sewing Machine made 1911s during WW2. I’m not sure where and too lazy to look it up.
Singer Sewing Machine made 1911s during WW2.
They made only 500. They made 1911A1 pistols, not the 1911. They were made at their Elizabeth, NJ facility.
They sell for high five to low six figures when they come up for sale at auction.
lol I did some brief digging and this was a contentious issue just before I moved here.
The public is overwhelmingly in favor of keeping it and the socialist politicians (i.e. all of them) want to tear it down because guns bad.

Is it possible that the release of the Epstein stuff was done by someone who wanted to derail the information just released by Tulsi?
https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1946271402971312514.html
I mean, the media was never going to cover the Tulsi news and even Maga yawned because anyone with a functioning brain new it already. It’s nice to have even more confirmation as I’d argue we had evidence already of just this.
That said, I think the Epstein stuff is just because it pissed off lot of Trump’s base and the lefties who ignored the case for years had reasons to tie it to Trump more closely.
It’s BigBig News and it’s good to get as much out as possible. Gabbard+ did a good job simplifying it for folk. I fear it’s all tainted, though. Most of the populace, that is. I reckon many -to-most will never ‘believe’ it. Far too much of their identity has been invested in truly fearing Trump as Dictator Despot, despite him using his Executive Power to ‘weaken’ his own administrative realm.
Just like Token-Jackson on SCOTUS will continue to be ignored, despite Sotomayor calling her out a couple times. They can’t simply, subtly, *stop* believing in Santa Claus. It’s not a switch, more a fade-out. People don’t spontaneously come to believe their communion is poison.
I don’t know. There was a reason that Trump was elected, and there is a reason that the mainstream media is dying; not reporting on things like this are a huge chunk of both of them. I would not be surprised if this has legs.
And yeah, the Epstein thing is being bolstered to keep this down as much as possible.
I don’t really consider the Eye-talian chick to be a music link.
So here you go.

I was hoping for more of the Italian chick.

It certainly seems to be the new shiny object.

Because everyone should be piloting a boat this summer.
A friend of mine in high school drove one of those.
I wonder how much that back glass costs.
Those vinyl interiors…
Video 1: I don’t get it.
*I fucking hate hate hate the shotgun blast two second video cuts style.
Ditto, I have epileptic siezures over them.
/yes I have epilepsy
I have to look away when my Ladyfriend fast forwards the commercials or I wont have a good time bouncing off the floor.
Ooof. Sorry, Yusef. It was quite eye-opening to see (and actually pay attention to) those warnings the first few times when I had no clue. Frightening uncertainty. I’m thankful I haven’t had an issue with flashes /strobes, to my knowledge. (I remember *waking up* in odd hospitals and spots, but no memory of a seizure itself. Once the ‘aura’ intensifies, I s’pose the Memory Switch gets flicked off. (Thanks Brain, no sarc. Good executive decision.))
I dig it evan, when in doubt, keep close to the floor so your head don’t bounce,
Cheers
I wonder how much that back glass costs.
Does that include the cost of the time machine? I’d be astounded if anybody has one on the shelf.
One of my friends had one (early ’80s, probably). It looks cool but it’s still a Buick. A big wallowing Buick.
A buddy of
Mine had a 71 and a 72.
The 73 was not well loved. Its lines and bumpers changed enough to make it look more portly.
The rear glass was more available than the cars were. They rusted bad so people would scrap them but save the glass. Ended up being a surplus of glass.
I would catch Captain Planet in a net and force him to watch as I sawed a branch from one of his beloved trees. Then I would beat him to death with it.
Piss on him.
Nah, the Boats is what’s required
Lol. I knew I liked you.

A ‘ strip club’ for Spud is most likely one of JR Simplots potato peeling factorys.
He likes watching them make french fries. The process has a certain appeal.
You know that when they start peeling it off, he yells “OreIda!”

If the Israelis tell you to demolish your house, you have a chance to do it yourself. Otherwise, they do it for you with a one-minute warning and charge a fee.

“Israelis destroy building hosting Al Jazeera and AP in Gaza”
Also, if memory serves, Hamas.
I sometimes wonder if the mistake the Israelis made on the West Bank was not saying “it’s ours now, we won it fair and square. When you lose a war you started, don’t expect to keep everything you started with”.
Losers take a walk? I guess the Jews are used to that game.

Hmm, who started the war of Israeli independence?
Could it be Israel?
***
At the end of a campaign beginning April 1948 called Plan Dalet, in which Zionist forces attacked, conquered, and depopulated cities, villages, and territories in Mandatory Palestine in preparation for the establishment of a Jewish state, and just before the expiration of the British Mandate for Palestine, Zionist leaders announced the Israeli Declaration of Independence on 14 May 1948.

I’m mostly pro-Israel, but it’s stupid to pretend that Zionism is anything except Manifest Destiny on a much smaller scale.
With the minor difference that the Americans had not been driven out of the land they manifest-destinied some centuries earlier.
I’ll be sure to remember that loophole if I ever have trouble finding a place to stay in Ireland.
Fuck, there’s a bar named after me in Tralee:

Erm, no,
Nonsense. We encourage Yusef to try it. I imagine he’s got a torch to nibble off an appropriate Test Dose.
Then he reports back to us. (Me.) If he turns even-just-a-bit Rick Moranisish, we’ll know we’re on the right path.
She only bit me a few times, it should be ok right?

Curious how many 10 year old Palestinian girls know perfect English with no accent whatsoever.
I noticed that. Great accent, but a few grammar and usage mistakes. That is typical for someone who learns another language at a young age.
This Russian guy has a minor accent. He learned English from playing video games online during his teens.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Maf1E5BSklM
Girls are better at learning languages because they like to talk.
Case in point: Hanoi Hannah started learning English as a girl because she wanted to understand the dialog in Gone With the Wind.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanoi_Hannah
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RUijp9WN6M
Pretty good accent for someone who never set foot in an English-speaking country.
And you believe her to be some random Palestinian girl and not the child of the elites at best?

Ethnic cleansing, it’s what’s for dinner!

The plan’s tactics involved laying siege to Palestinian Arab villages, bombing neighbourhoods of cities, forced expulsion of their inhabitants, and setting fields and houses on fire and detonating TNT in the rubble to prevent any return.[10] Zionist military units possessed detailed lists of neighborhoods and villages to be destroyed and their Arab inhabitants expelled.[10]

For a while, a key was a Palestinian symbol, because fleeing Arabs locked up their houses with the expectation they’d return in the near future.

Goldmann reported that Ben Gurion had told him in private in 1956:[76]
Why should the Arabs make peace? If I was an Arab leader I would never make terms with Israel. That is natural: we have taken their country. Sure, God promised it to us, but what does that matter to them? Our God is not theirs. We come from Israel, it’s true, but two thousand years ago, and what is that to them? There has been anti-Semitism, the Nazis, Hitler, Auschwitz, but was that their fault? They only see one thing: we have come here and stolen their country. Why should they accept that?

Why would a Zionist lie about what another Zionist said? Especially is it makes Zionism look bad?
Are you really treating Wikipedia as an unbiased source?
There are many ways to argue dishonestly, but the only way to do otherwise is to find errors in fact and logic.
Sheesh, aren’t you supposed to be a law talking guy?
I heard this exact same thing from a Catholic friend of my mom’s. She didn’t believe the Church called for the salvation of the “perfidious Jews”. So I pulled up the wiki article. She said it’s unreliable. Fine, let’s go to the cited source – a prayer book in French and Latin.
***
After World War II, Eugenio Zolli, the former Chief Rabbi of Rome and a convert to Roman Catholicism, asked Pope Pius XII to excise the adjective perfidis from the prayer for the Jews.[18] Professor Jules Isaac, a French scholar of Catholic-Jewish relations, did so as well in an audience with Pius in 1949. Pius responded with a public declaration that the Latin word perfidus means ‘unbelieving’, not ‘perfidious’ or ‘treacherous’.[19] Pope John XXIII later made that change official.[20]
As part of his major revision of the Holy Week liturgy in 1955, Pope Pius XII instituted kneeling for this petition as at the other petitions of the litany, so that the prayer read:
Let us pray also for the faithless Jews: that almighty God may remove the veil from their hearts; so that they too may acknowledge Jesus Christ our Lord. Let us pray. Let us kneel. [pause for silent prayer] Arise. Almighty and eternal God, who dost not exclude from thy mercy even Jewish faithlessness: hear our prayers, which we offer for the blindness of that people; that acknowledging the light of thy Truth, which is Christ, they may be delivered from their darkness. Through the same our Lord Jesus Christ, who liveth and reigneth with thee in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen.

There are a number of Glibs who look at Israel with rose-colored glasses. While it’s true that the Arabs aren’t responsible for the Holocaust, it’s also true that there was never really a Palestinian country. It was always part of some larger empire. After the Holocuast, it’s understandable that the Jews would do whatever it took to secure a homeland to ensure their survival. And hostilities were started by the Arabs.
Rose-colored something.
I hope they all have fun.

Did you know that Netanyahu’s real family name is Mileikowsky? Did you also know that every Israeli Prime Minister changed their name to sound more Jewish or Middle Eastern? Investigative journalist Richard Medhurst describes the litany of Israeli politicians who abandoned their Eastern European names to create the pretense of a stronger connection to the Levant.

YA Hoooo!
Long awesome article about MAD magazine,
https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/arts-letters/articles/mad-magazine-files
I arrived a little later to the party (about ten years after the author) but yeah, it made regular appearances in my house in the late 70s/early 80s. The one I remember the most is the ST:TMP issue.
I subscribed to it about 2005 to 2008 or so. I remember one segment about Indiana Jones movies they’ll have to make now that Harrison Ford is so old, and they were like “Indiana Jones and Those Damn Kids Playing on the Lawn Again” and “Indiana Jones and the Search for a Mattress with Good Lower Back Support”. It was inherently comical that they would ever make another Indiana Jones movie with the star being so old now.
It was a case of art predicting real life.
Fresh head-buzz and shower. I feel so much more civilized now.

lol I got sucked into an internet vortex and landed on the website of some goth night I used to attend 25 fucking years ago.
something something old
And yes, it dates from 25 years ago.
Back when we had a proper internet.
Amusingly, I relied those years entirely on a buddy who knew where and when to go. There are so very many venues I have zero memory of, largely because I was so drunk and/or drugged. I *think* I remember the linked joint but I am not entirely sure.
Sheesh. I had a black metal phase the last year of high school and the first couple years of living on my own. I’m glad there was no such corresponding “scene” where I live, or who knows what kind of shithead deeds I would have done in the name of “evil”. I just sat in my apartment listening to it and reading about church arson incidents in Scandinavia.
“But when I became a man, I put away the childish things,” etc. etc.
Apropos *hic*
Kinda nice Saturday is my workweek’s Hump Day. Stay at home or go to church, shoppers. Chicago owns the best record in the majors and serendipity strikes again. Off work at 2 and will arrive just in time for the first pitch as your Cubs try to finish their sweep of the Red Sox at Wrigley.
*beamy-smug face* This team is fucking special. We lost our (maybe 2nd?) best pitcher in the first week of the season, but damn. Uh. We’re goooood. May it continue, tho regardless, we still took (at least) two of three.
No snark, sleep as long as y’all can. On Wed., my ‘Sunday,’ looks like the family is going to Holiday World in Santa Claus, IN. Still family-owned, if I’m not mistaken. That place is fucking amazing. Worth a day trip.
Aight, letsa-go!
