Yep, in just a couple of days, ol’ Spud is headed across the pond to Kauai wed his future bride and become the head of a household at the ripe old age of 62. I had kids early, so they’re all in their 30’s. Future Mrs. Spud had them late, so they’re 20 and 22. I didn’t realize what a delight it would be to help guide these two young minds towards their future paths. They are an exception to the standard Gen Z fare.
Links?
I mean, I do own a whistle, and I am white.
Criminalize denial of something that didn’t happen? Floppy headed Indians be crazy.
“We’re in the Olympics! Let’s virtue signal!”
Much pants shitting over a documentary.
Which I believe is being discontinued to expand robot manufacturing.
It was only a matter of time, before he was told to gfy.
Sorry, Ronny. Both teams were laughing behind your back.
Okay, that’s it for me. Time to start packing and thinking about the lanai on the ocean. Peace out, Glibbies.
“They’re the first generation in modern history to score lower on standardized academic tests than the one before it,” Dr. Jared Cooney Horvath, 43, told The Post. “And to make matters worse, most of these young people are overconfident about how smart they are. The smarter people think they are, the dumber they actually are.
I dunno. Dunning-Kruger has been a thing for a while.
Idiocracy really was a documentary.
lol That is the entire point of protest-LARPing.
Congrats Spud.
Thanks! I’m a happy man.
Congratulations!
And I thought i was old when I got married (31). Been happily married for over half my life.
Indeed! Mazel tov, Spudsy! 😃💍🍾
Why didn’t I know that?
Always the last one to get the word.
Congrats Spud! Enjoy Hawaii and your new status. Good luck to the missus, hopefully you’ve prepared her properly for what she’ll have to endure with
hundreds of new friends.
Frank knows…

Last week, the Trump administration finally decided it had enough of his illegitimate orders, and told him, in so many words, to pound sand.
‘Bout time someone told Boasberg, in the nicest lawyerly way possible, what to do.
And just like that, two athletes have grabbed all of the attention.
I thought I already hated the media enough but apparently I was wrong.
These mfs didn’t have any “mixed emotions” about the untold amount of money confiscated from Americans in order to fund their fucking ski adventures.
Fuck these people.
I don’t know; have you asked the British athletes how it feels to represent a country that arrests 12000 people a year because they think unapproved thoughts? How about Mexican athletes how it feels to represent a country with, shall we say, robust immigration enforcement on the *their* southern border? How about the Chinese athletes? Asked them any questions about how it feels to represent a no shit fascist-communist oppressive dictatorship? No? Your concern trolling only goes in a certain direction? Fuck off you disingenuous retard, get your virtue signaling quote somewhere else.
Oh, and congrats mr. spud. enjoy the nuptials.
And by all appearances the media propaganda is working exactly as desired to make much of the world hate the US as much as they do.
“We believe in whistles, people want whistles. Nothing change [sic] no matter what WAISN says,” one participant wrote in a group called “WA Whistles.”
Now hold your breath until you turn blue.
I’m thinking a larger number of people want you assholes to go away already.
Headed across the pond, hope you have met her before this trip.
Have fun.
Murray noted that denying residential schools enforces a false view of Canadian history and protects those responsible for the system by justifying their actions.
Note the conflation of “denying residential schools existed” with “denying thousands of kids were buried in unmarked graves in the schoolyard.”
Since it’s appropriate, you get one too, ya savages.
No idea what happened up there but the beauty of living in a country that has no freedom of speech means now you’re not allowed to argue about it or arrive at an answer that might not please the elites. O Canada!
Only running dog capitalists put returns above social signalling
Camilla Taylor, executive director of the American Sustainable Business Council, which sued over the Texas law, praised the ruling in a blog post.
“Companies and investors who operate in the real world, rather than chasing short-term political wins or short-term profits, are exercising a freedom that is deeply protected by our Constitution. This ruling will have ripple effects across the country because you cannot punish long-term thinking,” Taylor said.
“Today is a good day for businesses in Texas. Today is a good day for businesses across America,” she added.
Fucking fiduciary responsibility- how does it work?
Ask an activist judge – they know everything.
Interesting. Would they lie about that? I dunno.
Love Kimmel getting his idiot ass handed to him yet again, though. Christ, what an asshole.
Rotten Tomatoes is pushing back against claims the audience score for the “Melania” film was artificially inflated.
I’ve won 38 golf championships and I don’t get to practice very much. I beat a 27-year-old kid. I’ve won 38 of them, every one of them legitimately. It has to be legitimate because you have a lot of people following you with club championships.
I’m getting – starting to get great polls on the economy.
Winning the popular vote, the first time. You know, they said I didn’t win the popular vote. I did.

One user then asked for “more bright-colored whistles that can work around the neck as a symbol of resistance that everyone can see as they go about their day.”
Paint your face bright blue.
Totally not a performance: “…that everyone can see….”
Small children and monkeys have zero self-awareness.
I have a very white whistle, not the whitest possible but pretty white, can I come out and play?

I like this.
If I see one I will happily cross the street to avoid them.
Awwwwwww. Dudes who like being married are so cute.
Got tired of being alone.
That wasn’t a judgment or a jab. It’s really sweet.
Sappy love-struck Spud is the best Spud.
Congratulations, buddy! Condolences to your bride!
Two Team USA athletes are speaking out about what it means to them to represent their country before the rest of the world amid a season of political turmoil at home.
While several athletes skirted around the question of politics with diplomatic answers about representing personal values at the 2026 Winter Olympics, freestyle skiers Chris Lillis and Hunter Hess acknowledged that wearing red, white and blue at this point in history comes with mixed emotions during a press conference on Friday, Feb. 6.
Not quite ashamed enough to actually walk away. Maybe they can give the black power salute in the starting gate.
They should sew Canada patches over their USA patches.
If you head west towards Hanapepe, there’s a spot on the side of the road leading to town where the world’s most famous marching band drum major plummeted to his death.
Holo Holo Charters out there runs a combination snorkel trip / booze cruise that takes you very close to Ni’ihau and along the Nāpali coast, if you’re casting about for things to do on the island.
The kids want to float the canal and do a zipline. The missus and I are doing a dinner cruise on Valentine’s.
Resist
Suspected attacks on northern Italy’s railway network have led to severe travel disruption in the region, the authorities say, as thousands gathered for the start of the Winter Olympic Games.
Police reported three separate incidents involving damage to railway lines that they believe are connected to the Games.
A fire hit rail infrastructure between Bologna and Venice, triggering delays of up to two-and-a-half hours, and police later found severed cables and an explosive device in locations nearby.
The Ministry of Transport called the incidents an act of “serious sabotage”, which they said mirrored vandalism during the Paris Olympics in 2024.
I hate the Olympics too, but tone it down a little.
We will resist until snowshoe softball is recognized.
They couldn’t decide whether to perpetrate terror attacks against Jews or Americans so they went with choice #3, “everybody”.
Model Y is their global best seller. Mid size SUV.
Model X is discontinued.
Well, good news at last. I just got a letter in the mail informing me that some relative who I’ve never heard of died and left me $75,800,577.87. I just need to give this guy my bank account info and he’s going to hook me right up with the money. So I got that going for me.
I strongly encourage you to invest in Evan. Strong returns and great party tricks.
I eagerly await furthering the range of our fiscal prosperity.
I have been alerted that my payment wasn’t accepted and I need to do….
At least it’s a new approach
The Nigerian prince doesn’t need my help and the foreign ladies have given up on me.
So in the first story, the guy hanging out the window of the red car with a whistle and his phone – do you think he’s filming ICE agents or just taking selfies?
ol’ Spud is headed across the pond to Kauai wed his future bride and become the head of a household at the ripe old age of 62.
Congratulations and best wishes to you two.
Wishing you all the best, Spud – such happy news!
+1!
Congratulations Spud!
Just got done watching The Battle of Algiers. It’s really good. Some other thoughts:
-It’s pointless to rule a country if even a small minority are determined to resist. The French ruled Algeria for 130 years and the locals were still willing to fight back.
-Mass arrests and executions will only buy temporary peace for the occupiers.
-Both the occupiers and the resistance are willing to torture and kill innocents for their cause.
-Torture can be effective in the short term, but there are countermeasures. If a prisoner can stay silent for 24 hours, whatever info they have will likely be worthless once divulged.
-Innocents are often scapegoated for reprisals or coerced into helping one side. There’s not much chance for a local to stay neutral.
-The more realistic aspects of movies like Red Dawn were clearly influenced by The Battle of Algiers.
-The resistance has a natural home field advantage, and the greater the cultural difference, the easier it is for the resistance.
-Putting this together, the Israelis have an overall weak position in the conflict with Palestine. France and Britain could rely on numbers and distance to keep their empires and colonial wars going, and even they had to give up eventually. In contrast, Israel’s home territory is and will always be under direct threat. The only way they can survive is as a fortress state.
-I don’t see how anyone could watch this movie and come away thinking any counterinsurgency campaign has hope of long-term success. Insurgencies usually lose, but that doesn’t matter, because the end goal is a mass uprising. Those are very hard to suppress.
-Whichever American political faction can mobilize mass protests better will likely get what it wants eventually. The 2020 riots proved this. On the other hand, the prevalence of guns makes mass confiscation and other heavy-handed tactics impractical. However, Americans still tolerate the income tax despite the tiny number of enforcers the IRS has: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6b70TUbdfs
Now watching Death Race 2000, featuring a young Sylvester Stallone.
This sort of clever, erudite humor isn’t for everyone. That’s why we have Glibs.
It keeps cutting out on me before sk8rboi says “gay”.
That’s the joke. It cuts off on purpose to imply the viewer is gay.
Now I remember the heady days of phonetrace.org…
Oh. I wasn’t really paying attention.
To be fair, they’re right.
heh. Took me a moment. But this computer isn’t on wifi, so jokes on you.
Kinetic captioning is an immediate nope.
I don’t doubt that some kids died at Indian schools in Canada. That’s because I’ve seen cemeteries at a the site of a nearby coal mining town which is filled with the graves of children. I’ve also seen the archives of deaths in Europe while doing some genealogy. Lots of kids died young there too. So it would be surprising if the death rate in those schools was low or zero. Life was tough back then.
Ugh why did I make the mistake of letting Family Guy run in the background? It always goes leftist and I have to tap out.
They just sang the praises of an imaginary President Gore imposing “universal health care” and “total gun ban”.
A lot of mediocre comedy survives because it is reliably leftist. I don’t think Seth MacFarlane has told or written a single original joke. And The Orville is just plagiarism of TNG.
Find a big enough demographic and pander to it. It’s a surefire recipe for success. It’s worked for Tyler Perry and others.
Well, that’s just plain unfortunate
Brad Arnold, the founder and lead singer of the 3 Doors Down, has died following “his courageous battle with cancer,” the rock band announced Saturday on social media. He was 47.
“With his beloved wife Jennifer and his family by his side, he passed away peacefully, surrounded by loved ones,” the band’s statement read.
I liked some of their songs, the band didn’t seem to be in-your-face obnoxious leftists, and forty-seven is too young.
