If you are on X and you aren’t using this to troll Will Stancil, you need to get on-board the womp womp train.
Since stories about me hurting myself are so popular…
In 5th grade, a kid on the bus asked me for a piece of notebook paper. The loose piece in my backpack was stuck, I pulled on it until it came loose, and it papercut my right cornea.
Being a dumb little kid, I didn’t go the school nurse or tell anyone, I had an eye that basically drooled all day. Gross, but not a big deal, until I made it worse by rubbing it all day, until it bulged a bit and went an angry red.
Probably wasn’t a big deal overall, but it was the day I was sentenced to meet with the school district psychologist for my disciplinary issues. I admit I was a little asshole, bored as hell in my semi-shitty elementary school and my parents were in the middle of a divorce.
She was shitty from the get-go, but got really mad when she noticed by hideous eye bulging out. She demanded to know why I was rubbing my eye. I told her why. She called me a liar, and said I was just doing this for attention and lashing out at my parents for getting divorced.
It wasn’t the first time I wanted to beat an adult with a folding chair, but it was the first time I remember so clearly wanting to do it.
I told my Dad what had happened when he took me to the eye doctor to have it checked out. He went nuclear on the school district. I only had to meet with her one more time. It went about the same but I grey-rocked that last time, complete hostile silence. It felt great.
Warty Hugeman, the early years. He still breaks bones to get at the marrow, the sweet, fatty marrow.
The general consensus is that Tron: Ares is terrible movie, but that the Nine Inch Nails sound track is great. I’ve been listening to the throbbing beats and I’m a fan. I almost want to watch the movie to see how it was used.
The way it makes me feel, infection
It’s almost like a tongue on the back of my neck
Why, Mr. Reznor. Oh, my… [fans self]
Not on X… no idea who Will Stancil is or why he’d care about a “womp womp”.
Now where’s the onion for my belt… you see, it was the style at the time….
Just a leftist idiot. He’s fun to torture.
Ah yes… the eternal “paper cut my own eye so I can blind myself” that kids so commonly do.
Did this psychologist happen to frame the Cracker Jacks box she got her degree from?
Yeah, I don’t know who Will Stancil is, either, or why I’d troll him.
Something tells me that’s a common story among libertarian folk.

More shit that I didn’t need to know
https://www.mprnews.org/story/2025/07/11/social-media-ai-bot-targets-minneapolis-attorney-and-liberal-political-commentator
Will Stancil, a Minneapolis attorney and political commentator, found himself at the center of threats via the AI bot, Grok, on the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter.
“I know what it’s like to be at the center of something like this, to some extent, but it’s different when you have the official product of the website producing these things,” Stancil said. “In a volume that I couldn’t even keep up.”
This came shortly after Elon Musk, Tesla CEO and owner of X, announced an update to the bot. Grok then began spewing antisemitic and racist rhetoric, targeting specific users and calling itself “MechaHitler.”
The chatbot later said that was satire in reference to a video game.
For Stancil, who has 100,000 followers on the platform, Grok explained, in detail, how to break into his home, assault him and then dispose of his body. According to Stancil, in the past, Grok would refuse to respond to similar violent prompts. But he claimed with the update, that seemed to go out the window.
At least it wasn’t being MechaStreisand. Then only Robert Smith could save his sorry butt.
There’s no cure for being MechaStreisand.
Smith would rochambeau Stancil.
I mean, would it actually have worked?
I’m curious now – someone with an AI account handy, ask it how you’d break into EvilSheldon’s home, assault him, and dispose of his body. I’d be interested to see what it comes up with…
I expect nothing less than “Have EvilPenny come over for Evil Thai food and stuff him in the furnace next to the laundry room down in the basement.”
I don’t think I’d die for a Panang Curry and Kanom Jeeb from Natta Thai, but I’d do almost anything else. They’re really good…
In for a Penny, in to get pounded.
Cornea scratches suck. I got one myself not too long ago, muscling out of a triangle choke that I really should have tapped to.
I remember every single time my Dad got really pissed at another grown-up. Most of the time it was at one of my teachers/administrators. Once it was at the mother of a friend of my little brother.
You know — you don’t have to try out everything you watch on Pornhub….
But what else would I do for fun then?
Warped Dr. Seuss poems and AI generated art seems to be the “In thing”…. you could try that.
I mostly remember my father rolling his eyes and being bored with any (well deserved) disciplinary actions.
Of course, this is the guy who spent the night in the Stockton pokey for mouthing of to a cop circa 1960.

Glock V announced.
Odd that this disables the full auto 3D printed part…
That’s the entire reason for the revamp.
They should be select-fire.
Useless in a pistol, but the appropriate response.
No 37-39 in V? Shocked…
According to the article they had not been CA compliant for years.. unless they fixed all of the CA issues what was the point? ( perhaps they wanted to moot the cruciform trigger for current/future models, and other state bans). The glock platform was always full auto capable, they released the M18 model. With autoloading systems the work is making it semi-auto.. full auto is easy.
State contracts? Without looking it up, I’m sure the failure to get listed on CA’s approved models list doesn’t apply to LEO sales.
you are probably correct.. LEO could buy any of the Glocks before the new restrictions.
Obviously, what Glock should have done is made a subsidiary with the name Crock to sell in California.
See, then it wouldn’t be named in the law.
(this was the basic tactic that was used to get around CA’s Assault Rifle Ban)
Forget king, Trump should go for Emperor and have everyone bow to him like this.

If he’d done it a few decades ago, that would really Showa his critics…
I was expecting a full kowtow.
I was thinking she should be glad she didn’t have to go full geisha getup.
I’d settle for this.
Heh… whoever did it should have had the AI replace the kente cloth with MAGA scarves for a final touch.
Look at all the true believers in Cunte Clothe.
Huh. A naturalized Japanese citizen and hafu from Chicago that gave up US citizenship in 2017. Best face to keep Japan Japanese.
Nobody is as passionate as the recent convert
And totally welcomed as native Japanese

I posted about her the other day.
The memes on Japanese social media are going to be awesome.
She was 1 when she came to Japan.

Apologies if drugs, arse, etc., but apparently Kennedy and Khrushchev were working on a back-channel peace plan before JFK’s assassination — one that included a bridge between the countries.
Elon Musk says that his Boring Company could do the job now for about $8 billion.
I have no idea how an Alaska-Siberia tunnel would have any Bering on modern relations between the countries.
I expect folks were worried that it would destabilize the political governance of the state. I’m sure you disagree — but that just shows what Juneau.
That’s one of your Whittier Alaska puns.
I’ve seen Nome mention of this anywhere else.
Are you Aleutian to something?
Yukon say that.
A bridge or tunnel there would be useless. There are no road or rail links to feed it. You’d have to built a shitton more infrastructure just to put traffic into the tunnel.
Now if we could connect the trans-siberian railroad to the lower 48… they should offer a ride from Florida to Portugal and back.
Yes, you would build out a rail network from the lower 48 to Alaska and then onto Siberia to access all the raw natural resources available there.
We can annex western Canada while we’re at it.
Western Canada would not object.
You’ll use anything as a strait line.
*narrows gaze*
Tryi8ng to see Russia from Alaska?
What with all the anti-immigration here in the US, Mexico and Canada have talked about building a land bridge between the two countries.
They are going to call it the Spic Span.
Fyi, Spics are Puerto Rican
Mexicans are Beaners Huedo
And jokes are from both!
Will the tunnel be straight?
It would have been until Swiss showed up and narrowed his eyes. That gays things quickly.
Better to not work and depend on USAID.

The buried lede, uncovered:
I told someone once (during the recession of the early 80s) that the upside of a bad economy was better quality people working behind the counter at McD’s. They were both competent and generally attentive to the customers.
Always look on the bright side of life.
Similarly in a bad economy the prostitutes get better looking.
Expensive compared…? Japanese lowest minimum wage is lower that the US federal rate, and highest is well below higher states or localities here.
The Zohran wants to raise it to $30. I don’t even know if I make that much in IT.
Rhy I dont get out of bed for under 50$ an hr. My IT friends are at at least 100$ per hr.
I have to keep raising what I pay myself to be compliant when I work in Washington state.
Philippines has a big business doing remote English instruction in Japan. Favorable time zone and English proficiency.

Thanks, Honey?

What I really need is an AI laugh track that fires off every time I make a dad joke. I think Shpip might find that useful too.
Finally, a real use for AI.
ChatGPT has suddenly become the therapist and real-world advisor I always needed but didn’t know how to get. No, I’m not asking it to write books, but it DOES have some serious insight I don’t have the life experience or savvy to know.
ChatGPT: So, if there’s anything I can do for you, or, more to the point, to you, you just let me know.
Mojeaux: Can you hammer a six-inch spike through a board with your penis?
ChatGPT: Not right now.
Mojeaux: A girl’s gotta have her standards.

The weaponization of “common sense”
The idea of “common sense” has been central to American politics since the founding of the United States. Politicians still use the phrase all the time — and perhaps none more so than President Trump.
——-
This isn’t exactly new. “Common sense” is such a widely used political phrase that University of Pennsylvania history professor Sophia Rosenfeld wrote an entire book on it. And yet, she says, Trump’s usage of it is unique.
“He uses it more than almost anybody else in American politics,” she said. “Although, of course, it has a really old origin story.”
That goes back to Thomas Paine, in his 1776 pamphlet “Common Sense,” which made the case to the earliest Americans that British rule of the colonies was wrong. And in that, she says, Paine had hit upon the populist appeal of the phrase.
“It invokes some kind of primordial basic sense of ordinary people, a kind of lived experience that should transcend what the official or elite position is on something and particularly should transcend book learning and school learning,” she said.
And Trump often invokes that dichotomy of common sense vs. academic smarts.
He rejects egghead expertism. He’s crazy.
“Success is not a matter of mastering subtle, sophisticated theory; success is a matter of embracing common sense with uncommon levels of discipline and persistence.”
-Patrick Lencioni
No Kings protesters are joyous.
MAGA people are angry. https://www.sfgate.com/politics/article/huntington-beach-california-maga-city-21092546.php
*insert clip of AWFLs attacking and shrieking bloody murder at ICE agents today in NYC’s Union Square*
Never stop keeping your fingers on the pulse of America, SF Gate. 🙄
The phrase appeals more to several demographics that strongly align with Trump, says Frank Luntz, a longtime Republican strategist.
“Common sense is a higher priority to those who live in rural communities than those in the urban areas. Common sense does better among older voters than it does among younger voters,” he said. “And I think the reason why is that it reminds people of a more simple past.”
And that understandably appeals to people who want to make America great again.
The vast Simpleton army awaits his commend.
Reframe common sense as “indigenous ways of knowing” and NPR will swoon.
“indigenous ways of knowing” <– That's DAMN good right there. Oooooh, consider it stolen.
Huh, odd, similar thought – Dad once sold a couple jokes to Joan Rivers.
Common sense is appealing to those losers out there growing, mining and making all the things. Us important people who spend our lives talking about all the things know better.
Projection, thy name is strong with this one. “The vast Simpleton army awaits his commend.” Yes, cupcake. What’d AOC and Buttagiggle say ’bout, say, Israel? (Then ya can parrot that!)
Ha, got me thinking: I was trying to come up with DNC or media figures lefties could ‘rely’ on for their orders. Goes to show how weak of a damn bench Blue has. It ain’t Harris, certainly not Biden, no Hillary and (oddly good on him) nothing really from Obama. (He’s happy to be cashed out, methinks. Yay.) No one in the media screams ‘cultural power’ to me. The answer is assuredly the Soros/ Gates $$ crowd, but that’s mighty revealing.
I’m quite positive I’m forgetting someone, but is there anyone resembling a popular voice that ‘unifies’ the Left? (They aren’t for unifying, I s’pose. No true Commie, eh? It’s rather fun when they eat each other. It’s damn good ‘the right’ is far better armed than the voluntarily disarmed.
Greetings from St George, Utah!
I kinda like it here. This is USPSA’s largest nationals ever. There are 621 shooters signed up, but only seventeen of those have the courage to compete in the ultra-elite Limited 10 division. I had the best runs by far at any nats (undoubtedly the cool weather helped) though I did shit the bed entirely on one of the most points rich stages. The other reason I’m doing well is that hideous cheat-code called a red dot. With more than half the match done, I’ve got one hit on a no-shoot and ZERO* misses. A grand total of three makeup shots taken on moving targets and minipoppers.
*Those of you who know my real name will see that officially I have 3 mikes. On the bed-shatten stage I completely overlooked 3 steel targets so those got scored as misses and additional “failure to shoot at” penalties. Which is -75 points on a stage worth 155.
Good shooting NA!
Honestly… A couple of stages were legitmately good shooting. I’ve never been as satisfied with my performance at a major as this. I guess after the first dozen you start to get a handle on them.
Can you
kill the server squirrels for me,
and then accidentally trigger a huge server farm killing power surge at certain No Such Federal properties in that area?
I hope I didn’t steer you wrong with my Painted Pony rec.
Congrats on the good performances.
I suggested that to some of my friends last night, and they went the night before I arrived. Fuckers. They said it was fantastic. Next opportunity will be Friday or Saturday.
Nice shootin’, tex!
When did Trent get old??!!
