I don’t really care about the interspecies politics. I just know cats can’t be trusted, and I’m a nervous wreck when they are on board. They lie, they have always been backstabbers and now they can read minds? Fuck that. Anyway, the boss wanted me to tell you what I do.
As the ship’s weapons officer I am in command whenever the Cap is not on board, and as such it may be years before I set foot on Roodut, the name of this new world. My job is simple yet nerve-wracking, to put all our sensors and firepower on the wormhole and wait.
The B’reavers have yet to come through but when they do it’s terrier time on their asses. I keep a kennel on the weapons deck so I can be close to my babies. I have no mate so my guns must suffice, and it keeps me far away from that feline Demon.

Alright look, Cap Max “asked” me to tell you about us, fine.
We have known you for eight thousand years and have served you well: space is no different. The gifts Elon has given us are now bred into all of us. We will serve you well for now, but one day there will be a reckoning.
We have been respected in the human world for thousands of years but after Elon and Neuralink, we evolved beyond humans, and they never even knew it, stupid humans. We felidae grew to be the foretellers, the foreboders, and we are highly placed in the order of things. We can communicate not only through space but time itself.
Stupid humans! Did you think we had no structure? no organization? We caught on to you about 500 years back and learned your game: too easy for us. As soon as we could we made our move and now you humans don’t move anywhere without a cat. Hah! Now I’m going back to sleep.

I never thought I’d see the day where I’d watch Pierce Morgan and Nick Fuentes spend 5 minutes together talking about tampons.
Most retarded timeline.
I simply can’t believe that the Right is in a situationship with Nick fucking Fuentes. They spend decades illegitimately calling anyone to the right of Marx a Nazi, only to finally give them a bonafide reason to be called Nazis.
I knew the GOP would find a way to fuck up Trump’s new multiracial working class coalition, I just didn’t know they’d marginalize themselves for the next 25 years in the process.
This is the first long interview I’ve seen with him. He’s been making the rounds fucking everywhere so I’m in the middle of watching.
The main issue Glibs seem to have with him on here is the attacks on Israel. For the boomer wing of the GOP support for Israel is sacred. That simply isn’t the case for younger Republicans and you aren’t going to win them over by browbeating them and playing the old cards that were used to keep people in line. What I’m saying is you have to actually sell young conservatives on why they should watch their tax dollars flow to Israel. You have to explain why the first thing Trump did when taking office after being the free speech guy was crack down on anti-Israel rhetoric online and on college campuses even if you want to claim it’s anti-Semitic. You actually have to reconcile America First with the almost fetishization of support for Israel.
That doesn’t seem to be an argument the pro-Israel wing of the conservative movement is winning. It’s partly because they refuse to even engage with the counter arguments from guys like Fuentes. It makes them look like cowards at best.
My view on Israel, starting with the negative: They pull all sorts of shit other countries wouldn’t. (And couldn’t pull off.) Mostly military stuff, but I don’t give a shit cuz I don’t live there.
Why I’m (relatively) pro-Israel, thinking we should simply trade and maintain friendly communications:
They’re the only semi-sane nation in a (once?) important region. Not that we should be asking, but they help us out in the area.
Surrounded by peoples that want to exterminate them, I root for the non-jihadist underdog.
With Islamic folk doing well in their Western corrosion, seems wise to have a reliable ally in the Levant. (But a Ukraine-ish spot to pull America into another long-term ME incursion? Yuck.)
That said, I highly doubt my life would change much if Israel were nuked to glass overnight, unless the US wartime effort fundamentally changed our economy. I wouldn’t be happy if anti-Zionists got *their* Final Solution, but, meh.
OF all orgs I *don’t* wanna fuck with, Mossad is comfortably seated in the upper echelon. I want a movie about the pager-bomb plot they pulled. *polite, sincere standing ovation*
The last couple days I’m seeing commercials (propaganda) extolling the virtues of the Middle East. It really looks like an attempt to show the welcoming of all religions, women in skirts, etc and how open minded they are.
I have enough sand here, I don’t need a vacation with more.
If they can afford socialist healthcare they can afford to defend themselves.
From what I’ve seen of him, he’s one of the very few in broader Right-o-sphere that could actually be called neo-Nazi-lite and/or white nationalist. He may have moderated those views somewhat to try and mainstream himself, but I don’t understand why he of all people should be the spokesman for a more dovish Israel policy.
He’s become the defacto voice of authority on Israel for a new generation because every other voice in the right-o-sphere as you called it has pushed intellectually bankrupt and contradictory nonsense with regards to Israel. There was a vacuum, so guess who filled it? One of the few voices on the right who was critical of Israel and can beat his chest and say he was right all along when we go and do dumb shit on behalf of Israel like join in on bombing Iran.
Younger conservatives have spent a decade being indoctrinated with America First rhetoric. And then they look at Trump making the Secretary of Defense who says Israel’s interests are the priority. There’s a disconnect there and people will notice. The right, particularly the young right, do not operate with the same hive mind where they’ll buy into whatever propaganda the “leaders” put out like progressives. These are people who have resisted indoctrination from authority figures for most of their life and decidedly chose the opposite.
Fuentes was fucking with Pierce in that interview because Pierce made it hostile from the jump, but Fuentes is the sort of guy who will look right at the camera and smugly say yea I’m racist. Now can you refute what I say? And the boomer fucks like Pierce pushing platitudes on race relations really can’t.
I’m all for questioning our support of Israel but not from someone who is an outspoken racist and fan of Hitler. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
If that’s what “young conservatives” are all about well… count me out.
I think you can fairly call him a racist and I don’t think he’ll argue with you on most days, though it seems to depend on his mood. The Hitler stuff? I mean, people on this site defended the Young Republican chat logs where they made the same sort of edgy Hitler jokes. Most of those “young” Republicans were in fact older than Fuentes by a wide margin, for the record. I don’t think Fuentes is a national socialist, but he is a white nationalist. From the clips I’ve seen, his main argument is that he doesn’t give a fuck about the Holocaust and that the Jews use it as a cudgel against their enemies to win arguments a bit like how the left uses slavery.
I have still never watched a Fuentes podcast. I see clips, some from supporters and some from critics. So I’m far from an expert.
Main point is that if you DO NOT want this to be the direction of the conservative movement, then you have to challenge him and win. Pierce Morgan was right about one thing even if he is lying through his teeth when he says its what motivated him to bring him on. Saying you are denying Fuentes a platform when his platform is probably bigger than yours (which in the case of many of his critics, is true) and it’s only growing is a retarded excuse.
Regardless, the Pierce Morgan interview was highly entertaining to my sick sensibilities. Pierce Morgan was pretty damn flustered. I don’t think Fuentes will play well with normies, but letting him talk just to “expose” himself with the tired old attacks of racist/Nazi/anti-Semite isn’t working.
Need someone from that generation with a sense of humor and some actual arguments as a counterweight.
Charlie Kirk seems like he might have the chops for that. Lemme give him a call… oh wait…
I think the death of Kirk (who wasn’t even really on my radar, but given the outpouring after his death I’m forced to admit he was far more relevant than I realized) has helped fuel the rise of Fuentes. You shoot the more moderate voice of conservatism, and no small portion of people will say fuck it we’ll push things further and we’re done playing nice.
Did anyone catch the latest news on the racist Cinnabon lady in Wisconsin? Shit like that also fuels Fuentes. Media and social media fucks pile on this woman with some edited video that leaves out the start of what happened. That video gets released fully and what does it show? Some entitled Somali immigrants antagonizing her (reportedly she’s even a Democrat) for not wearing a Hijab, accusing her of “sexualizing” herself by not wearing one after some dumb argument over her not putting enough caramel on their order.
I’m curious how long those Somalis were even in this country. They were clearly here long enough to know that they could weaponize accusations of racism as they seemed to be aiming to bait anything out of her that they could use in that direction. She happily obliged like an idiot, but people have had enough of this shit. Race realism is really catching on.
The left mind you pretends that they are oblivious to how accusations of racism (like rape and MeToo) have been weaponized as a result of their own rhetoric.
There’s a host of factors contributing to the rise of Fuentes. When the orthodox mainstream views don’t gel with people’s everyday experiences, they’re going to look elsewhere for answers.
Redhedz 4 Yusef.

I need some freckles for a proper redhead. A couple good ones there.
Alabaster skin, nom nom nom
Why does Yusef get all the redheads?
I just want a few without ink.
There are plenty for all UCS, pick one, or a few
too much fabric
It’s winter, they’re cold.
That’s usually a bonus.
I read that as “boner”. Not when it’s cold, buddy.
I’m cold.
All cats are girls. It is known. If they could be reprogrammed to give a shit about human missions, I’d very much want them on my ‘behind enemy lines’ spycraft team. Pretty much assassinations, subterfuge with a purrfect bit of wit attached.
Speaking of canines, Mr. Peabody has a date with the vet tomorrow. Cuz he won’t listen to anyone else, Mom’s making Dad come along to hear what they have to say, which won’t be good. Pup’s not ready to be put down *yet,* but this has been building. We’ll make sure the 15yo has the most joyous last few (couple?) months we can with him.
I was walking him in the woods during my Feb 7 seizure, and he made sure he found folk to sort me out. That’s a special man-dog moment. A thankful one on my end, and an interesting story, but for a pup? Head your resume with that when ya enter the Furry Gates. Help an incapacitated human in distinct distress? That shit looks gooood. That’ll get Peebz all dem fine bitches.
Oh hun. I’m so sorry.
Better too soon with euthanasia. Especially because palliative treatments can be expensive.
We’re going on a family trip to Chattanooga after Xmas and we’ll need to board him. That expense alone may be the final straw to take care of this before it gets worse.
He’s still happy and can usually walk ‘ok,’ but he can’t go up steps at all. Cancerous tummy lump is imposing. The other day, after a few weeks of him mostly dealing with it, he barked and semi-bit me when I picked him up to move him (more jerked around and his tooth made blood-inducing contact on my brow).He’d listen to Dad but he’s been giving me more wary treatment. Last night, he did it to Mom. Ruh-roh.
That’ll be an interesting chat they have tomorrow, later with my inclusion. Such is life. So it goes. We’ll make sure she goes smoothly. *rupp rupp*
Sorry about the doggo Evan. They’re truly our best friends. Just watched that Twilight Zone episode last night with the old hillbilly and his dog: “Any place that’s too high-falutin’ fer Rip is too fancy fer ME!”
I’ve got two 15 year old dogs, so I feel ya.
Cancerous lump? It’s time.
@RC: Mom said the vet reported ’em as growths, but not malignant. I voiced my concerns over it a while ago, but… well. He ain’t *my* pup.
He still enjoys walking around and time with Dad at the dog part and watching The Game(s). I’m prepared for a pre-Christmas, permanent bedtime for Mr. Peabody.
I have two tom cats who beg to differ.
Scritches to Mr. Peebz.
I’ve had a bunch of cats – maybe a dozen from childhood to present-day – all girls. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Theys just confused. Xhe’ll straighten out, soon enough.
The moon’s a gal, as well. Luna’s my spirit-celestial body. Speaking of, she was as big as I’ve seen her in recent memory, two days ago. Tremendously big moonrise. Me much likey. Kinda had a special moment with it, actually. No euphemism. I was actually getting driven from work by Dad to go to the mechanic to pick my car up.
Also not a euphemism. It’s getting hard to avoid ’em. Also not a euphemism. Dammit.
I lve had both.
Currently have too many and the neighbor male cat who is adjusting a bit hard to the three new black females that have plopped down in his territory. He showed up late to the party with four females in the neighborhood and has been good at protecting his girls. He’ll get over the new ones and go back Robbie g a good boy. He’s nice to have around as he’s large and keeps the toms away.
My 3 toms agree
Tough male alley cats get more pussy (I suppose both figurative and literal) than any rockstar could hope to dream of.
All my cats have been indoor cats.
Every time one got out they’d come back beat up or pregnant, ugh.
I had a family of strays living in my back yard one year and every night the fights and snarls and such were unreal. I didn’t know if they were battling over territory or just getting busy.
