Sunday Morning Last Gasp Links

For us football fans, December means actual meaningful games as the teams sort out who’s going to the playoffs and at which seed. Mojeaux’s beloved Mahomeses are, of course, going to be sitting this one out, much to the distress of the Swifties. But the Ravens are still in it, if just barely, and play the Sunday night game. So I’m spending the day pre-gaming, casting spells, kidnapping Christian babies for sacrificial rituals,

People turned their year-clock up another tick as of today include a guy who was a rare breed; a guy who was not glad to get stoned; a switch hitter who struck out both ways; a guy who was just someone else’s mouthpiece or vice-versa; a guy for whom “Come to papa” took on a new meaning; a guy who was a massive contributor to the toilet death-spiral of network TV; a specialist in anti-aircraft artillery; arguably the finest American composer of the 20th century; one of the inspirations for San Francisco’s Vibrator Museum; the leading spokesman for the American Academy of Stupid Eyeglasses; TV’s finest MILF; an athlete whose name should have made her an assassin; and someone whose name was truly his destiny.

And our destiny is Links.

Can anybody keep track of all this shit? The separatists separating from the separatists, or something. Meh, let them fight it out among themselves for control of a shithole, as long as we stay the fuck out of it. Archive version.

I admit to being disappointed that my favorite congressman has taken the lead on the distraction from important things like, oh, wars and spending ourselves into irreversible debt.

That said, it only took them a day to fuck it up.

Roll that beautiful propaganda footage. It’s incredible to me that anyone buys this shit.

Could it be they’re being kept for food purposes?

Sorry, still not buying it.

A preview of our politics after the next Team Blue takeover.

What happens if you don’t have common sense gun regulation. Because that would have prevented this, right?

Swiss comes off suicide watch. Here’s the archive version. On the one hand, you’d think the key is getting Love out of the game. On the other hand, what you talkin’ ’bout, Willis? He looked terrific. But in the end…

The Redskins and Eagles showed pure class, as one expects from those cities.

The Old Guy again throws state-of-the-art Newgrass at the commentariat. Pearls before swine, pearls before swine.

        Kicking Mike Brown, Katie Blackburn, and Duke Tobin would be more helpful. Especially if you kick them hard enough, enough times.

        I get the once-a-year Browns appearance today here. I can’t remember how many QB’s they’ve cycled through since the last time I observed them.

      • creech

        Well some crap teams will look good as opponents which have already clinched playoffs rest their starters for a game or two.

    • R C Dean

      Yeah, some idiot was talking about a scenario where the Cowboys go to the playoffs. Ain’t happening.

    • Pope Jimbo

      Vikes are out too.

      I still think it is better to miss the playoffs and rebuild than it is to keep getting into the playoffs and then get whupped in the first round. The Vikes keep limping into the playoffs and don’t get enough draft picks to rebuild.

    • ZWAK, doktor of BRAIN SCIENCE!

      I respect the hell out of Zappa’s politics and persona, but his music… Oy vey.

      • UnCivilServant

        I know I heard a good deal of his work because for whatever reason my dad liked it.

        It’s so forgettable I have to be reminded it exists, and still can’t remember any of it.

      • ZWAK, doktor of BRAIN SCIENCE!

        I think it is generational. On a parr with Green Day.

      • rhywun

        I’ve never seen the appeal myself but de gustibus and such.

      • Pat

        I’m younger than both of you, and while I’m not a huge Zappa fan, you should collectively be beaten with sacks of oranges for the Green Day comparison.

      • Pope Jimbo

        I started listening to Zappa after running across The Persuasions singing his songs acapella

        I like Zappa, but don’t understand the love he gets from other musicians. Sort of like Albert Brooks getting raves from comedians.

      • The Last American Hero

        I am a prog rock fan and a lot of prog draws on Zappa. But for me, the music is not enjoyable to listen to. It’s sort of like he’s a lab scientist that invented some cool stuff but then the engineers had to come in and figure out how to actual turn that shit into something useful that people might want.

    “The divisive plan comes as the president cuts federal funding for housing and tells states to get rough sleepers into mental health and drug treatment centres”

    rough sleepers?

    • Pat

      “Rough Sleepers” is a book by Tracy Kidder that tells the inspiring story of Dr. Jim O’Connell, who dedicated his career to helping the homeless population in Boston.

      Apparently all right-thinkers know this term. Although my understanding was we had switched to “unhoused” “persons experiencing homelessness.”

      • juris imprudent

        We’d never have to change terms if you people would stop stigmatizing!!! /tards

      • PutridMeat

        change terms

        I don’t understand how people think the words used to describe a condition *create* the stigma vs. being a descriptive term for condition that posses elements that people find distasteful, disturbing or worthy of pity. Whatever term you come up with will inherit the stigma because the words are not what’s creating it in the first place. Very primitive/totemic thought process.

      • juris imprudent

        PM because these morons really believe words create reality. Which is a play on that ancient Greek John “In the beginning…”.

      • Ted S.

        I think “sleeping rough” is more of a British English thing.

      • (((Jarflax

        Which is a play on that ancient Greek John “In the beginning…”.

        Those silly superstitions held that there was a being capable of creating a new reality simply by speaking it into existence. That is so silly, that being didn’t even have a degree from an Ivy! Obviously it is up to us to create the brave new world, but first we really must do something about the fascists standing in our way.

      • juris imprudent

        do something about the fascists standing in our way

        Crying and whining aren’t going to really do anything, but that’s par for their course.

      • (((Jarflax

        If you cry loudly enough you can motivate some of the pet lunatics to do something.

      • Threedoor

        The only Jim O’Connell I know dude this spring and had a pile of machine guns. Never could afford to buy one from him though. I wanted the Finnish 20mm he had.

    • Tonio

      I think it’s a Brit phrase.

      • Raven Nation

      • Pat

        Also used in Australia and NZ.

        Same same

    • rhywun

      I think it’s the currently-fashionable euphemism on the other side of the Atlantic.

      And I’m guessing “federal funding for housing” is supposed to refer to the spectacularly-failed “housing first” policies which put mentally ill people into new housing at great taxpayer expense.

    • Tonio

      Also, “centres.” Brit-speak confirmed.

    • Pope Jimbo

      As a kid, “sleeping rough” was often used for anyone sleeping outside.

      My buddies and I coined “jean jacket camping” to describe a trip where we went out drinking in the woods and it was expected that you’d drink so much that the only camping gear needed was just your jean jacket. Anyone who complained about being miserable because we had no tents or sleeping bags was proclaimed a pussy.

    Meh, it’s possible to walk and chew gum at the same time.

    • Threedoor

      I don’t get his take on this either. It’s dumb the odds that there is anything there is distraction at best.

  11. Common Tater

    “Albanese, under pressure from critics who say his center-left government has not done enough to curb a surge in antisemitism since the start of the war in Gaza, was not scheduled to speak at the event.”

    What was he supposed to do?

    • Common Tater

      No idea how that’s “A preview of our politics after the next Team Blue takeover” though.

      • Old Man With Candy

        Team Blue guy/gal/theythem leans into antisemitism, bad shit happens, acts faux-concerned in direct opposition to years of statements to the contrary, gets roundly booed in public whenever he/she/it appears outside their Prog City bubble. And hopefully voted out (but it runs so deep in the urban areas and in “intellectual” circles that this is questionable).

    • rhywun

      Crow some more about “legislation to criminalize hate speech”?

      Don’t you DARE say that about my sweet, sweet Bailey.

      When Prime and I saw them a few weeks back, she had apparently shed some baby fat and looked awesome. Her playing and vocals were the best they’ve ever been, which is a considerable compliment give how terrific they were before.

  14. Pat

    Yes, Hunter Biden was a crook, and many people who put Ukrainian flags in their bios are deeply annoying. But in reality, Ukrainians are a brave people fighting a war against a vicious foe, and their fight, in many ways, is ours.

    Their fight may, in many ways, be yours, but it goddamn sure isn’t mine, so it definitionally isn’t ours, so feel free to send your money, and your weapons systems over there.

    • Rat on a train

    • juris imprudent

      I believe that young man is free to volunteer to fight for them if he likes and so believes in their cause.

    • rhywun

      I submit that the one and only reason so many Americans give a shit about Ukraine is the Russia, Russia, Russia mass hysteria that settled across much of the country in the teens and which intensified greatly during the rise of you-know-who.

    I was complaining about that yesterday.

    Also the photos, redact the faces of all the women except Sarah Ferguson and Jizzlane Maxwell, but none of the men.

        There was an unredacted picture of an unidentified black guy carrying a flamingo.

        The flamingo, I mean.

    “The missing files, which were available Friday and no longer accessible by Saturday, included images of paintings depicting nude women, and one showing a series of photographs along a credenza and in drawers. In that image, inside a drawer among other photos, was a photograph of Trump, alongside Epstein, Melania Trump and Epstein’s longtime associate Ghislaine Maxwell.”

    I’m guessing they were removed because of the nudity.

    The government of Ukraine may be corrupt, but ordinary Ukrainians saw themselves as—and were—fighting to defend their homes and their freedom against invasion by an external empire that appeared to have all the hallmarks of evil.

    “Starting March 2024 the Federal law required microwave ovens to be equipped with an electronic door lock safety function. The oven door is locked automatically after it’s use to prevent burns, access, and accidentally being operated by children or anyone unfamiliar with its use when removing hot food or beverages after cooking.”

    Everyone responsible for this law should be beaten and thrown into a vat of hot soup.

    • R.J.

      Hell yes. I hate it.

    • Pope Jimbo

      Won’t you misanthropes think of the children?

      Between 2002 and 2012, over 7,000 children under the age of five were treated for microwave-related burns. That’s more than just a statistic; it’s a wake-up call. In response, the Underwriters Laboratories (UL) updated the standards for microwave ovens with a simple yet effective solution: make it harder for little hands to get inside. The result? A new requirement that microwave doors must now require two distinct actions to open.
       
      If you’re a parent, you’re probably breathing a sigh of relief knowing your child’s safety just got a high-tech upgrade. But if you don’t have kids and are just looking to reheat last night’s leftovers, you might be wondering if this new feature is more of a hassle than a help.

      That is like 2 kids a day getting burned! The HORROR!!!!!

      * It says that many new mic’s will have the option to turn this off.

      • Common Tater

        How to turn it off isn’t in the manual. Then after you find their secret webpage to get the code, if the power goes out, you have to turn it off again.

        Yesterday morning the power went out for a few minutes. So last night, I had to turn the breaker off to get my food out.

    “Health-conscious City Councilman Oswald J. Feliz is taking a stand against absurd levels of sodium, targeting some of the Big Apple’s most popular restaurants.

        Don’t salt more than your palm can hold?

      I thought people had gotten over this whole ‘salt is bad for you’ thing. Maybe I was confusing a politician with a rational, thinking person though.

      • rhywun

        Hey, Angeldust, Salt is a vital nutrient.

      • PutridMeat

        my PCP

        If he’s adhering to the guidelines – and that’s what most physicians do, whether partly out of laziness, partly out business, and partly out of fear of legal reprisal/loss of licensure if they don’t – he’s advising you to eat way less salt than is necessary for optimal function.

        Obviously, one can eat too much salt and maybe eating out 3 times a day every day gets you there, but salt is another one of those classic linear dose relationship errors and confusion of chronic and acute impacts.

        Either way, fuck Oswald J Feliz in the ear with a rusty q-tip.

    “Trump administration reps have just revealed a grandiose $112 billion plan to rebuild war-torn Gaza into a futuristic international destination dubbed “Project Sunrise.”

    The 10-year development plan, drafted by first son-in-law Jared Kushner, US special envoy Steve Witkoff, and two top White House aides, is currently courting investor countries with a 32-slide PowerPoint presentation detailing the bold plan to renovate burning rubble into beach resorts.

    Gaza would see the development of luxury hotels, high speed rail and AI-optimized smart grid features that would revolutionize the small slice of the coveted Mediterranean coastline into a bustling metropolis, the Wall Street Journal reported….

    The total $112 billion cost would be spread out over 10 years, with the US agreeing to cover $60 billion in grants and guarantees on debts.”

      • Common Tater

        At least that would reduce inflation.

      • dbleagle

        Indeed, fuck THAT shit. Not one dime of taxpayer money should directly or indirectly support any project in Gaza or the West Bank. If the Arab world decides to fund it, whatever.

    Last month, the Trump administration kicked off its latest effort to end the Russia-Ukraine war with its “28-point peace plan,” reportedly authored by Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner and delivered to the Ukrainians on Nov. 20. In an abrupt 180-degree turn from what had looked like the increasingly pro-Ukrainian drift of administration policy, the plan endorsed maximalist Russian positions on territorial concessions and was delivered to Kyiv as an ultimatum, backed by the threat of total abandonment if Ukraine refused to comply.

    Yeah, I’m not reading that.

    “‘And the whites were quick to say this. They said, “Charlie Kirk is this generation’s Martin Luther King.” No, he’s not,’ Chappelle said.

    He added: ‘That’s a reach. You know, they both got murdered in a terrible fashion, they both got shot in the neck, but that’s about where those similarities end.’

    Chappelle continued: ‘Charlie Kirk is a mother—in’ internet personality. By design, fundamentally, he can’t function like Dr. King. Internet n—-s are negative because they have to be, ’cause nobody will engage them unless they say s— that makes them upset. That’s Charlie Kirk.’

    Then he quizzed the crowd by asking: ‘Could you imagine if Dr. King was behaving like Charlie Kirk? “Smash that like button and subscribe! Follow me for more content like this! I believe all Black people should be free — change my mind.”‘”

    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-15402365/Dave-Chappelle-stuns-audience-Charlie-Kirk-comment-surprise-Netflix-comedy-special.html

    It was a different time.

      • PutridMeat

        To say nothing of the question of how MLK would have approached his activism in today’s media environment, that’s, IMNSHO, a mischaracterization of what Kirk was doing. He wasn’t saying ‘shit’ to piss people off and get notoriety. He was actively promoting ideas he believed in, some that were an anathema to certain sectors of society. Much like MLK in fact. While I admittedly didn’t really pay much attention to Kirk, only a vague awareness of the name, I don’t think he was much of the ‘smash that like button and subscribe!’ kind of actor.

    • Pat

      Fair enough. MLK Jr. was a demagogue, not a debater, if you want to sanctify that. Nevertheless, he used the mass media that was available at the time. It’s like saying Abraham Lincoln would never have appeared at a televised debate.

    Quick, smother it with a pillow

    Congress is wrapping up the year in the shadow of the longest government shutdown and with a growing reputation as the least productive in modern history.

    “Congress is in a coma. It has a pulse, but not many brainwaves,” said former Rep. Jim Cooper, a Democrat who represented Tennessee for 32 years. “It’s hard to tell that it’s even alive as an institution.”

    Knock it off with that “least productive” crap. That just means they haven’t pounded enough money down the progressive rathole to suit you.

      • Pat

        NPR is fiercely independent, and only gets 0.000001% of its budget from government funding, which is why it needs government funding to remain fiercely independent…

    • R.J.

      If he wants to be productive, get all the congress tards to line up, dip in the tar vat, then jump in the pit full of feathers.

    • (((Jarflax

      This bizarre notion that you want an active legislature needs to be beaten out of people. Even if you love the State and want it everywhere, surely you don’t want its demands to constantly change. Legislation is the rulebook. It is never good when the rules of the game are constantly changing.

      • Pat

        At least half the country couldn’t pass a middle school civics exam. They don’t know or care what role legislation serves, they just want to be assured that someone, somewhere, is working on procuring their pony for them.

      • juris imprudent

        Every time a progressive rule fails, it must be doubled-down on – sorta like dragon’s teeth.

      • rhywun

        Too bad the rules of the game changing is exactly what the left is all about.

        You’ve got an automatic baseline of around half the country that demands constant change.

        We’ve postponed getting together with my siblings until the Saturday after Christmas (when we’ll meet at a restaurant,) so we’re planning to make ourselves a big pot of tortellini soup (with little Italian sausage meatballs! 😋) on Christmas Day. (Too many carbs for my diabetic sister, so we haven’t had it on Christmas for a few years.) And of course, now that we have all the fixings for the soup, it’s going to be unseasonably warm on Christmas, with a predicted high of 60 degrees. 🙄

    “A Florida woman was arrested Wednesday after allegedly killing both of her ex-husbands in separate shootings that occurred on the same day.

    48-year-old Susan Avalon faces murder charges in connection with the shooting death of a 54-year-old ex-husband at his home in Manatee County around 3 pm. Investigators said Avalon had traveled more than 50 miles from Tampa, where she allegedly killed another ex-husband earlier in the day. Authorities believe ongoing custody battles with her former spouses contributed to the murders.”

      Authorities believe ongoing custody battles with her former spouses contributed to the murders.

      Robbing the kid of both parents while you rot in prison for 20 years was clearly the optimal solution to the custody situation.

    “A transgender Portland Antifa militant who launched a knife attack on federal agents outside the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in June has been sentenced to just three years of probation following a plea deal. Julie Mikela Winters, 47, born Christopher Hudson, threw a large, sharpened knife at a Homeland Security Federal Protective Service (FPS) officer, attempting to impale him in the head.”

    “Sacramento has agreed to pay $160,000 to settle a lawsuit stemming from the fatal police shooting of a man wielding a knife on a light rail train in 2023.

    The incident occurred on August 15 at the Sacramento City College light rail station after bystanders called 911 to report a man on board the train waving a “machete type of knife.” Police arrived and found 44-year-old Dante Dwaine Day alone on the train holding the knife, after other passengers had already fled…

    After de-escalation efforts failed, officers fired a bean bag shotgun at Day, which appeared to agitate him. Police said Day then lunged toward officers with the knife, prompting an officer to open fire with lethal rounds.”

      Pope – out of curiosity, what are implications of Da Bearss victory over the Packers for the Vikings playoff position?

      • Pope Jimbo

        Just addressed it above.

        I’d rather see the Vikes miss the playoffs and get better draft picks and an easier schedule next year, than for them to limp into the playoffs and get bounced right away.

        I’m also looking forward to the opportunity for the Vikes to fuck over the Packer’s and Lion’s playoff hopes.

        The Bears are having one of those lightning in a bottle seasons. Everything has gone perfectly for them. Lucky bounces, all the good QBs they were supposed to face ended up hurt, easiest schedule in the division.

        They almost lost to the Vikes twice. That should tell you how bad they really are.

    Won’t anyone think of the poor Minnesoda Somalis?

    Both the rhetoric and the arrests have cast a chill over the community. Entrepreneurs reported an immediate hit to traffic. Some workers stayed home and small businesses curtailed their hours. People have skipped medical appointments, and families are running out of food because they don’t want to step out of their apartments. Fewer people are going to mosques.
     
    “I’m concerned not only for my business, but also for the children witnessing the fear their families are experiencing,” said Farhan Ahmed, owner of Capitol Cafe in Minneapolis. “I believe many of them will need therapy following the crackdown.”
     
    Community advocates say the arrests and rhetoric are taking a toll. Children are watching their parents worry about leaving the house. Families are making contingency plans in case a parent does not return from work or an errand. Some parents have instructed their children on what to do if ICE agents come to their home.

    The Somali community has long faced layers of discrimination. Many residents point out that being Black, Muslim, and an immigrant places them at the intersection of multiple forms of bias.

        (((Jarflax:

        To be fair, we got the sissy Somalis that ran away to Ethiopia when things got tough.

        The Blackhawk Down bad-ass Somalis are still there shooting at each other. The Delicate Somalis that we got don’t have the same grit, so they might not be able to handle Command Sgt. Major Walz and his administration’s draconian policies.

    • Pope Jimbo

      It is funny that the Somalis are now claiming to be victims of racism against black people.

      The rub locally here has been Somali vs American black people. The Somalis have been very vocal about the fact that their ancestors were never slaves and therefore are way better than the local blacks.

      For some reason the local blacks haven’t been receptive to that message at all.

      To us whities, it is amusing because the Somalis are a very ugly group. It is pretty easy to pick them out from the natives. Big forehead, pot belly, no muscles, buck teeth. That is what the typical Somali looks like.

        So if their ancestors weren’t slaves, then what were they, slave catchers? Hard to believe their are any ethnic groups in the world that weren’t one or the other, and likely both, at some point in history.

    Don’t believe it

    “The downside surprise reflects weakness in both goods and services, but may be partly due to methodological issues. The BLS might have carried forward prices in some categories, effectively assuming 0% inflation,” Michael Gapen, chief U.S. economist at Morgan Stanley, said in a note, deeming the November reading as “noisy” in a way that’s “difficult to draw strong conclusions.”

    “If these technical factors are the main source of weakness, we could see reacceleration in December,” Gapen added.

    You can’t believe government numbers (when Trump’s in charge).

    • Pat

      The data doesn’t match the model, so clearly there must be a problem with the data.

      Although I don’t trust the government numbers, regardless of which numbnut is warming a seat in the white house.

      I remember when Biden was in charge and it was decided that the old definition of a recession (2 quarters of decline) was no longer correct. It was a recession only when The Man decided it was a recession.

      I wonder if anyone decided to update the Econ 101 text books with that new definition?

    Outrage

    The Delaware Supreme Court ruled late Friday afternoon that the Court of Chancery was wrong in its decision to rescind all of Musk’s pay package, though it still accepted that some sort of penalty (“nominal damages”) is warranted.

    It set that penalty in the amount of $1. In addition, the attorneys who sued Tesla (the plaintiffs) will be able to recoup attorneys fees (which will end up amounting in the hundreds of millions).

    The court stated that while it may have accepted an argument that Musk should be entitled to part of the package – in recognition of how excessive the final package ended up being – the plaintiffs didn’t actually make that argument. The plaintiffs only offered complete rescission as a remedy, which the court decided was too “extreme.”

    ——-

    And so, because plaintiffs didn’t make an offer for partial rescission of the pay package, and because the Court of Chancery didn’t itself craft a decision that partially rescinds the package (which it is allowed to do), the Supreme Court had to choose between giving Musk everything or nothing, and it chose to give him everything. Well, minus the attorney’s fees.

    You wouldn’t want the guild members to lose out. That might discourage the next round of claims.

    • (((Jarflax

      CEOs are overpaid, plaintiff’s attorneys are hard working middle class artisans who deserve more, why they are practically proletariat!

    Musk moved to Texas hoping that he would be able to benefit from corruption there and push policies that would help him personally and harm shareholder rights – like a new law that bans shareholders from bringing actions like this court case unless they hold billions of dollars in Tesla stock.

    Texas is a third world corruptocracy. Everybody knows that.

    “A Democrat with a documented conviction for child molestation has quietly entered the 2026 mayoral race in Providence.

    According to reporting by the Providence Journal, the upcoming Providence mayoral contest currently includes incumbent Mayor Brett Smiley, state Rep. David Morales, and a third, lesser-known challenger: Michael English.

    What voters are only now learning is that English is not merely an outsider candidate, he is a convicted child molester who served multiple prison sentences stemming from sexual crimes involving a 13-year-old girl…

    What he did not initially disclose is that those “decisions” resulted in four felony counts, including first-degree and second-degree child molestation, and contributing to the delinquency of a minor….

    Despite prosecutors recommending a 40-year sentence, a Superior Court judge handed English a 20-year sentence with more than 90 percent suspended, meaning he served just 15 months before being released early for “good behavior.”

    If that were not disturbing enough, English later violated a court-ordered no-contact order involving the same victim. In 2009, the victim reported that English drove to her home and attempted to initiate contact.

    He was found guilty and sentenced to five more years, ultimately serving nearly two additional years behind bars before being placed under house arrest.”

      Perhaps, if I dare say, providentially… there was a contemporary Christian music singer back in the ’90s by the same name who got run out of the industry after siring a love child during an affair with a married woman with whose band he was touring.

    Musk is bad for Tesla

    He’s been an unbelievably bad CEO in recent years, making threats against his own company, causing business chaos, and stealing Tesla resources to channel to his own private use.

    This was accompanied by an unwise entry into politics both in the US and abroad, driven by his twitter addiction. His politics have largely focused on pushing white supremacist nonsense including support for German neo-Nazis and agreeing with a defense of Hitler, and funding and supporting groups that oppose renewable energy and vehicle electrification.

    Why haven’t the shareholders voted him out?

    • Common Tater

      “vehicle electrification”

      He’s obviously against that.
