An ongoing series where my family forces me to leave the house.
The Tianyu Light Festival
The humans that call themselves my family kept telling me about some light show we had to see this holiday season, finally I ran out of excuses and I had to go. It was sponsored by https://tianyuculture.us/, which may be a commie plot. I do enjoy blinky lights and so I went, after I grabbed my special glasses to prevent collectivist hypnotism. Here are some selected pictures, which I was forced to take as I walked this Bataan Death March of Fun. Overall it was very enjoyable, even if everything was made by commies in China. I hope you enjoy this. It you don’t, well you should submit some articles.
The Chinese won me over with their displays of lights and the live kung fu theater show at the end of the blinky lights. Overall it was an excellent effort to win over gullible Americans to the wily ways of the commie Chinese. Beware! These shows are popping up in every town.. There may soon be one near YOU!
The humans that call themselves my family
‘Fess up.
Your cat wrote this.
That would explain the typos.
There would be more profanity if a cat wrote it.
I like this pictures.
I really did not do it justice. I had a lot more pictures but my daughter was in them.
Your basic dope smoker doesn’t think he is “smoking”.
I always keep vape pens with me, thc and nicotine
Those frowning inscrutable guards everywhere would have chased you down!
That did stand out to me, every security guard was Chinese. And frowning.
Maybe these things are cover for the “police stations” they’re putting up in every town for the diaspora to report back their findings.
*fist-bump to Bobbo*
Front left pocket. (only nicotine at the police station)
Im fine with no smoking signs, not my circus, and I avoid such places anyway, looks cool though
@Rhy
That those place actually exist is a really bad sign. One would hope that we’re keeping some form of tabs. But it says a lot that China has such a huge presence that exists as a spy apparatus. I mean, we definitely have spies there too, but what we don’t have is hundreds of thousands of “students” and “workers” who actively take part in a coordinated, however loosely, spy ring.
I currently live in a major college town and at least half the students are Chinese. My apartment building is mostly grad students and about 80% Chinese. And money is apparently no object cuz the place empties out during the summer and winter holidays.
Time for you to find a hot, young Chinese dude who wants to go native with you. IYKWIMAITYD.
lol I might as well be invisible to hot young dudes of any ethnicity anymore.
Better than the local Christmas light thingy here
It was just up the road from you. I should have emailed. My apologies, it was a very busy holiday season.
We’ll keep an eye out next year. December was pretty crazy for us too
It does look very pretty. (The no-smoking sign kinda spoils the vibe.) I’d like to sneak the 5yo into the shark’s mouth. The Chinese’d love me.
The Chinese, and just Asia in general, do very well with visual spectacle. The cultural, political and physical conformity standards are, uh.. yeah. They tend to be good at that shit.
I’ve never taken a shit in China. (Ha, who was that? “I took a shit in ____ once.” May have been SF, but “Sandi” is coming to mind. Huh.
Sandi ego?
As a kid, I never wondered how Carmen was able to steal pyramids and bridges. (I was attracted to her, because I was correct.)
I believe The Shitter was from TOS.
Which one of you photo bombed this press conference? Bravo whoever it was.
https://x.com/i/status/2018800806297030983
He is a regular.
That’s not Bruce Campbell.
I wondered why you filed this under penises, and then I saw some of the displays. I get it now.
NSFW light show, yet neat-o. Did you get any commie food?
Since you are a green alien, I am pleased that you didn’t get mobbed by rogue ICE agents and deported to California.
Hey!
I randomly pick topics when I do these.
“Did I get any Commie food”
I swore off commies. Trying to lose weight.
In defense of the “redundant” sign- many DFHs do believe that their shit doesn’t stink. Truth is most of us normies don’t really mind cigarette smoke we just hate you pot heads so much we thought we could rid ourselves of you fucks by banning “smoking”. Our mistake was thinking that you maroons would understand that “smoking” meant marijuanga as well as tobaccy.
There is also the fact that pot is currently much more fashionable than tobacco.
This is true.
Tax cattle both of them.
I sense some hostility on your part.
What is your opinion on smoking yak hair stuffed in a toilet paper tube? I am trying to start that as a trend.
Yakety yak…
I have asked customers if they’re worried about the weed smell getting them searched if stopped since we’re in TX and not some safe zone for weed. “You can smell that?”
I can smell it when they walk by on the other side of the street.
Spokane did a Chinese lantern show for a couple years and then it died. No moving stuff but silly jujitsu with fake swords and plate spinning acrobatic show that was really cool.
Also don’t blame me.
I’ve written two. One is pretty lame though.
Have another three I need to sort and probably turn into four or five.
This is excellent news!
I am a tantric writer.
Real First Ass Niggas Going Hard As Fuck don’t leave the house.
Too busy Firstin’.
Firstin’ aint easy. Have to keep your Firstin’ hands tight.
Your a head in a jar connected to the internet?
It’s probable the future of most of us
I am getting pretty close to that.
MLW.
I had a video of some guy calling CSPAN as a prank and talking about Will Stancil even getting the line it do be like that in. Can’t find it now but it was pretty fucking funny to me if you get the reference.
Stancil is always getting into those shenanigans. Lately he was kicked off the anti-ICE protester Signal group for “disregarding safety precautions.” It do be like that sometimes I guess. Eventful week for Mr. Stancil.
Everything is so fucking stupid now I have no idea what to make of this claim. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I think I will just continue to not care and laugh at it all.
I hope it leads to the next cartoon.
Is this you, R.J.?

Speaking of comedy: “‘Monster’s Paradise,’ lampooning US President Donald Trump, has world premiere at Hamburg Opera
HAMBURG, Germany (AP) — Tobias Kratzer spoke in disbelief ahead of the world premiere of “Monster’s Paradise” by Olga Neuwirth and Elfriede Jelinek, which features a gluttonous, ravenous, insatiable President-King, lampooning U.S. President Donald Trump.
“The metaphor has become a reality,” the Hamburg State Opera artistic director said in his office Sunday morning. “I’m really hoping in — what is it, eight hours? — the piece is not completely outdated because up until now it has always gone closer and closer to not being a satire but being reality.”
—-
Chorus members dressed as zombies and roamed the foyers before the opera and during the intermission, along with Disney-styled princesses and dancing hot dogs. The opera began with a Las Vegas-style LED sign and action on a passerelle.””
Their depiction of Trump is pretty funny. And flag on the field: Their Coke fridge doesn’t seem to be DIET!
As the UN pisses itself about not having any defense for itself, I wouldn’t purposefully poke the US Prez who’s pretty much in charge of if you get to keep ‘borrowing’ US military force. Just in case they happen to care about Russia invading the rest of Europe.
So stunning. Much brave.
But try calling the Greens Party leader a “Schwachkopf”.
Grown theater kids being theater kids.
If I wanted non-stop lampooning of Donald Trump I would watch any episode of South Park released from 2017 forward except for a certain period where there was no political satire for some strange reason I can’t guess at.
Get on up, superstars!

Oh, I’ve been up.
Good morning, Sean, Ted’S., and Stinky, and good afternoon, Pie!
Morning, GT.
I finally got some sleep between ~2am and 530am or so. I didn’t have enough time to comment as I got out the door behind schedule as things were. Made it to the office and having my breakfast salad now.
Good morning, U! Glad you at least got a little sleep at a time befitting a day shift worker AND arrived for your shift on time. 🙂👍
😴👍
😄
Now, now! That’s one of the few fireable offenses, isn’t it? Hope you have some caffeine to wash down that salad!
😨
… yes, I’m getting caffinated.
How are things with you, TT, and the kitties?
I’m going through a a bit of PC withdrawal as my laptop sits at the shop awaiting its transition to Linux Mint. (For something as major as an OS change, I thought it best to leave it to trained professionals.) TT and the kittehs are OK. Ninja Cat has actually left me alone this morning. Perhaps I should be concerned… 😟
🙀🐱👤
I’m sure he’s all right. He’ll pester you just when you’re ready to head out.
Good morning, all.
Get on up.
Good morning, ChipP!
Get on up
Finally, some proper music around here!
All my music links are proper music!

WHY DO YOU GIVE MORE WEIGHT TO A GROUNDHOG THAN TO THE 97% OF CLIMATE SCIENTISTS WHO ARE WARNING WITH INCREASINGLY DIRE LEVELS OF URGENCY THAT WE ARE ON THE PRECIPICE OF CIVILIZATION-WIDE CATASTROPHE?
https://x.com/ClimateDefiance/status/2018408833459036229
I have to admit Americans are weird about those stupid weather groundhogs
Phil is a state treasure! Don’t be hating on him.
Don’t be a groundhog prognostication denier, it’s unseemly.
https://extinctionclock.org/
Because they’ve been wrong 97% of the time.
Who buys that lunacy? Biggest, most transparent scam in history and people believe that? Aside from the ‘scientists’ who repeat the lies for grant money, who buys that?
Someone snarked at me recently and I got the notion they were somewhat offended by my claim that we are still in the monkey stage. Just look around you.
When your funding is dependent on future catastrophe there’s a tendency to overstate your case, no doubt. I’d bet most of the experts chuckled at the catastrophizing with their colleagues behind closed doors because reasonable statements don’t get you anywhere.
Watch “Climate: The Movie” there are interviews with several now-retired climate scientists admitting that if you want a career you need to tow the lion on climate catastrophism or else the grants dry up and your career is over. Now that they are retired they admit it’s bullshit.
No, Stinky, they are true believers. But, unbeknownst to most is that almost none of them actually work with climate in the way you would need to do for any research into AGW or whatever it is currently called.
They site papers, which site papers, that say the world is on the verge, but don’t call into question any of the data. They take it as given, and go from there. Which works as most of it is irrelevant.
Ah, yess, all-caps screeching already falsified talking points – how you know something is serial.
The neighborhood groundhog came out to give his predictions but I don’t follow sports so I didn’t listen.
Parody account?
Phil stars in the greatest philosophical movie ever made.
Good morning Y’All,
First morning above zero in a couple weeks. Ahh, Spring, what’s not to like?
Lookin’ at several days getting above freezing, the snow will be settling, we don’t have much.
Started dripping off the roof yesterday
🥳
I went to one of those Chinaman light thingies, but I cannot for the life of me remember where or why. Montreal, maybe?
