So, I forgot that having a girl friend meant buying her shit. Yeah, she needs to populate the house in the Gulch with her clothes, because I don’t check baggage when I come here. As a result, the local consignment shop just had it’s best sale ever…
Links?
For those who were not aware, this is national Anti-Communism Week. OMB has spoken.
Looks like we’re exporting a new product.
I would be more than happy to let her hit me.
Um, okay. Not sure what to think about this one.
Okay, a little thin tonight, but there’s a doin’s goin’ on. Peace out, Glibbies.
Hit me
Not glod
Not good at all
I think it’s fair to say that I’m far from being a gold digger, but I’m not at all sure that consignment shop stuff counts. 🤨
Oh, I’ve spent a lot more than today’s excursion, 😉
Good boy! 😄👍
I thought these people were the most inbred family. Live and learn, I guess.

Officials ultimately hit Mark with four charges, including one count of felony battery, in addition to three misdemeanors, which could carry several years in prison if convicted.
Well, maybe it’ll make people forget about the Butt Fumble.
(NARRATOR: People will never forget the Butt Fumble. Sanchez will go down with Joe Pisarcik, Jim Marshall, Garo Yepremian, and Leon Lett [twice!] as guys to commit some of the biggest bonehead plays in NFL history.)

Maybe they can get the Center for Biological Diversity to embrace DEI next?
The Nature Conservatory needs to get on this bandwagon.

President Donald Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” is handing out billions in tax breaks, and a new analysis from Senator Elizabeth Warren’s (D-MA) office is demonstrating just how substantial those sums are. Under the law, Google’s parent company, Alphabet, will save around $17.9 billion in taxes this year, an amount that Warren’s office found could’ve paid for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits for 7.5 million Americans.
That sum could cover Medicaid for around 2.3 million adults, or 5.4 million children, according to Warren’s office. Amazon’s anticipated tax break for this year is similarly large at around $15.7 billion — enough to provide SNAP benefits for 6.6 million Americans, or Medicaid for 2 million adults. Meanwhile, Microsoft’s estimated $12.5 billion tax cut in 2026 could lower Affordable Care Act (ACA) premiums for 1.9 million people.
Those are checks written by the Treasury.
How about we restore the subsidies and rename it the Jack it up the Taxpayer’s Ass Care Act, because the motherfuckers lied about it being affordable.
Sen. Warren: “The government allowed Americans to take home about $22 trillion in pay last year. Think of all the good things we Democrats could have done if we collected that money.”
They claim to want to help the poor, but always seem to find a way to keep them dependent on government rather than being self sufficient.
Funny that.
Better than wasting that money on creating jobs or some stupid shit like that.
“…a new analysis from senator Elizabeth Warren’s (D-MA) office is demonstrating….”
I tapped out.
I have it on good authority that alien lasers do not fuck.
We know who really owns those space lasers.
Space hat!
IN SPAAAAAAAACE!
Who, exactly, would be an authority on such a thing?
To fund SNAP benefits for the average of 41.7 million people who received them monthly last year, the federal government spent $99.8 billion.
Does that include administrative costs, or is that just the dollar amount of “benefits”?
At least the thrift shop is better than a Pawn Shop.
A pawn shop is better than a queen shop.
“The state’s adult protective services took Ray Whittaker, 72; his sister Lorene, 79; and her son Timmy, 46, from the family’s ramshackle property in the town of Odd[, West Virginia.].. The Whittakers’ inbreeding traces back more than a century to a single marriage between two sets of cousins descended from identical twin brothers, which effectively collapsed the family’s gene pool.”
Yep, that there might do that. In Odd, WV. I was born about 30 miles south of there. If ya turn a W upside down it makes an M, and that’s what my last name starts with. That’s kinda odd. Think about it.
Your name is Mest Virginia ?
Nah, Kayne didn’t go for that one. He and I, both born poor black boys, but he gets naming rights.
Mhittaker?
That is odd.
My great uncle was named Odd. He hated it, got razzed his whole life, he even made his kids promise that they wouldn’t put his name on his tombstone. So now when people see the marker with only the born on and died on dates and no name they say “That’s Odd”
Ive asked that my tombstone reads “was last seen on Sunday chugging Champagne with two midgets”

Neat. I was just thinking from an earlier link that the SSA building they’re selling could be repurposed to highlight the evils of socialism instead of celebrating it.
Back when my older son was in preschool his best friend was a girl who kept calling him her boyfriend.
We picked him up from school one day, and Mrs. Parnell starts asking about all his friends. She finally asks “How is [girl]?”
“She’s mad at me.”
“Oh no! Why?”
“I don’t know. I should buy her a present.”
At which point I burst out laughing and said, “Oh my god, she really is his girlfriend.”
They learn young.
I doubt Sydney has been hit for real, over and over, which might dampen her enthusiasm for boxing.
But yeah, I’d hit that*.
*metaphorically, of course
I thought I read a thing that said the actors really did hit each other, although I’m sure it was nothing like the hits in an actual match. That said, getting hit over and over is a sure fire way to learn skills.
Yeah, there’s hits where you are trying to really hurt the other person as much as you can, and then there’s all the other hits. I doubt she’s taken any of the former.
Didn’t Mrs. Dean accompany you to Frontsite?
“…dampen her enthusiasm…”
No shit. I think Tyson had something to say on the subject
“Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face”
Idiot complaining he can’t ignore Gates tho he wishes he could. Says lack of funds is a problem:
“There are truckloads of money available. Just after Gates published his new missive, Oxfam revealed that the net worth of the 10 richest US billionaires grew by $698bn in the past year. That money alone, the increment in the wealth of 10 people, is almost 10 times the annual amount required to end extreme poverty worldwide.”
Uh. Huh. So take all the money and it solves poverty for ten years? Yuh-huh. I wish the rest of the world would completely ignore *you,* and thankfully, they’re finally starting to. That’s gotta sting. No salve for you. Just wrap the burn in river-soaked rags to further minimize power usage. People will not sway from their Faith. Greenies’ actions are a nearly exact parallel with self-flagellation in, say, the 1400s. No gain, only more expensive shit, but damn. They feel so goshdarn *good* about it. *kicks pebble* Humans be human.

Pasta gets goal 399 with a period and a half to go. Hoping he gets #400 tonight.
Weird misthread…
You don’t wanna read it. It’s shockingly dumb, and remarkably snooty about how fucking elevated they are compared to duh!
“A remarkable study in Perspectives on Politics, among the very few to have penetrated this secretive world [of the top .01%], found that the ultra-rich have radically different political views from the great majority. The multimillionaires it interviewed, in stark contrast to mere earthlings, saw budget deficits as the most important of the issues it listed, and climate breakdown as the least.”
Of course it’s remarkably dumb. It’s The Guardian.
Rhywun gets it.
I can’t imagine why nobody has thought of this before.
I wish. Socialism is “new and exciting” – Slate said so.
I don’t think you can end extreme poverty worldwide for $70BB, or even $70BB a year. That ain’t gonna change the cultural/structural causes of extreme poverty.
$70B, however, can provide a lot of grift while doing nothing to solve poverty.
Good news, it doesn’t cost anything to solve poverty. All you have to do is free up the market, or in other words, stop ordering people around, and stealing their stuff. This unfortunately does not offer much in the way of graft for the people in power, so they do everything they can to avoid it.
It’s Monopoly money. The downside to being a hundred billionaire as a tech company founder is that the minute you start selling your stock in anything more than a trickle it panics the market and that 50 or 100x earnings market cap heads back for traditional levels.
I believe they usually get loans using the shares as collateral so they can get cash without crashing the stock.
You are correct. That’s what the ultra wealthy do. It works great until the market tanks and the lenders are able to force stock sales. Take a look at what happened to James Cayne and Richard Fuld with Bear Stearns.
With money you’re not solving poverty, you’re only enabling it.
…and all the aid groups that get to wet their beak in the “administrative process”.

Oh man… seeing him live in 1989 was something else. Transformative, maybe.
Dang, that’s cool, Rhy.
Though I did see Carlin live while I was still in high school.
@slumbrew OK, I’m an idiot. I blame jet lag.
@rhywun I also saw him live. I think it was 1983 at an outdoor venue in northern NJ. Waiting on line to enter the venue, a black limo slowly drove down the road. It comes to a stop and the back window rolls down. It’s Carlin in the back seat. He starts bullshiting with us about being in line. It was brief. Maybe 3-5 minutes. Very much a man of the people in that moment.
He was the definition of laugh at shit you’re not supposed to laugh at. Helped me take the stick out of my ass.
Too bad some asshole killed him. His humor is much needed these days.
SK on SNL (you all can find Prof. Turgeson easily enough):

Nice. Never saw him on SNL. Even when it was funny.

Beer for the homeless: Mrs. Tree and I and one of our daughters, and my son’s fiancee (pretend the diacritical is there) went out for a supper at a pizza place tonight. Our little town has a few regular homeless folks, and one called Sheila is sortof a batty old woman who all the restaurants know for casual peaceable begging. She wandered in while we were there and so they gave her some chicken and a beer. Fiancee (pretend again – new to the South, and spent her college years waiting tables in Pueblo) was amused and flabbergasted.

You made it home safe to the Glibs: what else matters?
So I’m off to work and immediately after I’m going to my nephews middle school orchestra thingy. Public /govt schools and It’s being held at a theater somewhere in the city, and tickets are fucking $27. That’s a little strange. This is gonna be a long day. I’m fairly excited for everyone else to be sleeping this morning. More hours of chill aisles. Continue worshipping. Extra studiously or piously or whatever it is ya do to stay at service for *more* time. That’s really help *me* out, so that’s kinda a benevolent service to others.
Extra rosaries, today? Be fruitful, y’all.
$27?! What happened to $5? And no freebies? Better be good.
Good morning Glibafarians!
