I had a whole story ready to go about a giant (6’7″, 380 lb) tard nicknamed Smokey that I was tasked with bouncing from the café. Including the artwork, which I won’t waste. But I’m not in the mood to tell my tale, given the loss of a woman who was a friend IRL and with whom I had several lively correspondences. Every time we talked, it reinforced my opinion that she was exceptionally smart, as well as being conversationally sharp, witty, funny, and (in the best senses) uninhibited. I was unfortunately nowhere near a computer last night, so I’m offering my toast now, with a mimosa (make fun of me for that all you like, it’s a girlie drink but it’s delicious).
Well death is an inevitable outcome of birth, and birthday highlights of the day include the Mother of the Blues; the Father of the Impenetrable; true Evil Incarnate; John Waters’s favorite filmmaker; a delightful sci-fi writer; one of my favorite authors, and recommended if you’re feeling suicidal; the Father of Harbor Place; arguably the funniest female actress of the 20th century; and a woman who is characterized as dumb, conniving, and pure evil, consistent with Michelle Obama and Nancy Reagan.
Speaking of pure evil, here’s Links.
So, anything else interesting happen last night?
Free and fair elections, I’m sure.
This will work out well. I do like how they chose a location where there were already several private sector competitors.
Burn it all down and take that fucking Bill Nye with you.
When you think Canada is dumb, they double down.
If he didn’t manage a mother-daughter three way, he is a failure as a human.
Look, I hate Florida, too, but these are truly retarded reasons.
Let’s see, three of them are running for higher office, one was pushed out by Team Blue gerrymandering. Clearly Team Red is racist. And a non-paywall version.
Jesus fucking christ, they just can’t help themselves.
Not a Link, but a perfect headline to get the conspiracy theorists going.
Sometimes the Old Guy just wants to groove on rollicking bluegrass.
How many more times before he gets a free sandwich?
You mean pizza.
6’7″, 380 lb, and retard strong?
Incredible, but yes. And he wants cake.
On the south side of Chicago
There’s a mean ol’ man with Down’s
He gotta big forehead and a unibrow
And they call him Corky Brown
whaddup doh’
yo whats goody yo
TALL SABBATH CANS!
“a woman who is characterized as dumb, conniving, and pure evil”
Characterized by people who hate Trump?
Yes.
I had the pleasure of meeting Hayeksplosives in Paulden, NV. Went to local hangout and had a good time. Such a shame.
Of the Glibs I have met in person, 40% have now passed (SP and Hayeksplosives). I’m thinking I don’t like the math.
She will be missed.
I oddly have had similar sad occurrences with my Japan interests. My very first language exchange partner died in her 40s leaving two children and a husband.
This was followed by meeting an American in Japan married to an Australian woman. Great character and a Vietnam vet. Had just retired. We kept in touch and three weeks after he returned to Australia he was killed in an auto accident.
Those two were 2/3rds of the {{{GLIBBROADS}}} that I’ve talked to off of the site. I hope Salted Earth is doing well.
Black Republicans? I can’t believe the NYT would hallucinate such a thing – since it goes against everything they believe.
“CNN also reported that Hamas, among other terrorist parties, was excluded from the elections as participation required candidates running to recognize Israel, support a two-state solution, and accept the program of the Palestine Liberation Organization.”
Maybe we can only have candidates that support the Constitution.
Can’t disagree, as I’ve mentioned how fresh memories of her Saturday evening antics had me giggling in church through much of the latter ’70s.
I can still watch “Went With The Wind” and laugh.
Exactly the one I was thinking of. Quite possibly the all-time classic (though Harvey/Tim sketches as a body of work give it a run for the money.)
And not just a comic actress, either. She appeared in the last four episodes of “Better Call Saul” (S6:E10-13) in a well played dramatic role.
The first scene featuring her I was all “wait, is that…she’s still alive?”
I must have not recognized her.
Chris Truax is an appellate attorney who served as Southern California chair for John McCain’s primary campaign in 2008
So speaking of retards, and making claims about Trump and dementia (and surely with no record whatsoever of saying something like that about Biden).
Yeah; I don’t recall one politician saying McCain should resign when he was diagnosed with that terminal brain tumor and stayed behind in Arizona.
FWIW, I think toasting Hayek with a mimosa is perfectly appropriate.
If those pix are real, that is one smokeshow of a 45 year old.
Norwegian would!
No sun damage when you live in the dark half the year.
Definitely a smoke show.
It is literally impossible to choose otherwise in America’s largest, densest city – given that the “food desert” thing is a fantasy pushed by grifters.
“Every Black Republican Is Leaving the House, Erasing Diversity Gains
All four Black House Republicans are retiring after this year, a reflection of the striking and persistent lack of diversity in the G.O.P. ranks of Congress.”
Who cares?
The racist writers and readers of the NY Times?
IMHO Florida only has one thing going for it and that one thing is not necessarily at the top of everybody’s list so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
feral monkeys?
Pythons?

hunky?
😂🤣
You’d think upper-class twit could afford a sandwich growing up.
The definition of “hunk” must have changed.
Poster boy for low T.
Perhaps purposefully low T, even.

People need to stop holding lavaliere mics.
I would like to say that I love the username “Hayeksplosives” too. I suspect that it has been used by someone else somewhere else but there are no others as far as I am concerned.
And given her profession, apropos as well.
Next Saturday we pick up the bees at the bee store and start a new season. Hives are already set up, awaiting the new tenants. Countdown to Honey Harvest begins, Sep 20th this year. Mark your calendars.
Huh…there’s a bee store?
The Ehh store is a Canadian thing, the C store is very popular in Japan, but the Bee store is a honey of a place.
I used to pass by this place on a regular basis.
I got a pretty good chuckle imagining a cartoon bee dressed up like Apu leaning on a Slurpee machine and staring at the clock. Who needs AI?
“The Democratic Socialists of America rail against the one percent, but close to a third of them are clearing six-figure incomes a year, according to a newly surfaced internal survey.
As many as 28% of DSA members made more than $100,000, and 56% have cushy office jobs in academia, tech, the public or non-profit sector, white-collar work or health care…
And despite its frenzied push for equity, black membership was at a measly 4% — well below the group’s 15% share of the American population.
One area where the DSA had representation that far exceeded that of the general population: 10% of DSA members identified as non-binary and a staggering 32% identified as LGBTQIA+.”

Mental disease of affluence.
I suspect they exceed the general population in virtually every category of mental illness as well.
As many as 28% of DSA members made more than $100,000
Wonder what percentage are trustifarians?
Trustifarians, or employed by NGOs entirely funded by Government dollars. There are some very well paid jobs in the grievance sector.
Imouto only!
That was supposed to go to the C Store above!
WordPress for the win.
That $272k salary isn’t going to pay itself, (((jar.
They picture themselves as the class of agenda setters and as such they’ll never be penalized by their fellow leftist nutbags for their affluence much less put against the wall. It happens time and time again and the outcome is as predictable as the day is long.
I wasn’t on at all last night, so only read PM links this morning. I never met her, don’t recall that I even interacted with her on the site, but I could see from her posts that she was sharp and personable, an exceptional lady. I am saddened by her passing.
The wails and lamentations of the women and men who act like women on the NSF article are fucking hilarious.
THE END OF SCIENCE IN AMERICA!!
My public teat! I won’t be able to do my research without unaccountable public funding!!!
I mean, there are only so many researchers trying to trans up mice. We can’t afford to cut them out!
Mickey now goes by Minneigh. Xe enjoys pony play, time alone with children, and cyber-stalking JK Rowling.
I only knew Hayeksplosives here, but I will miss her.
I’ve known her via the zooms for a few years. We had many a late night conversations, including a long one that wasn’t more than a couple days before she passed. I will definitely miss her.
Same. I wasn’t fortunate enough to meet her IRL but the bits I saw here, she n zoom, and on X showed me she was an exceptional person. We need more like her.
I was at a wedding last night so I only texted and glanced over the comments, but I see she made a big impression on those who did meet her.
RIP Hayek, you are already missed.
I had no idea the full multitrack to Bohemian Rhapsody was leaked.
Freddie Mercury remains amazing. His pitch and timing are incredible in addition to his musical ability. What a loss.
Why Bohemian Rhapsody could only be recorded in 1975
Now replaced Autotune and Pro Tools and the creation of shit.
Nothing wrong with Pro Tools, but autotune is shit.
I meant for the ease of creating shit. Not the tool itself.
My favorite leaked album was the OG Alan Parsons quadraphonic mix of Darkside Of The Moon.
Bill Nye, 20 dollars, same as downtown.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=B7QtRCGQmrc
This shit is hilarious and pretty accurate from my view.
“You lookin’ to get your mice transed-up?”
Why is it whenever I watch “Idiots in Cars” I want to take a road trip?
You definitely set that up nicely on a tee waiting for someone to drive…
You always want to take a road trip and “Idiots in Cars” just reminds you of that constant wish?
🤔
Maybe. Though Jar is implying that I’m just an Idiot and yearn to be in my natural habitat
😁
Don’t blame me! I was just picking up the joke you know you intended someone to make!
Just don’t ‘crash’ into me.
Good morning all! And as I said in the dead thread and zoom meeting, it was nice to attach voices and faces to user names. I hope no mirrors got broken trying to reflect my ugly bearded mug.
I personally called Von Vogt the King of Deus Ex Machina. Time after time he put his protagonists in impossible situations then always gave them an out.
He was a prolific writer who would set alarm clocks to wake him up regularly during the night so he could jot down ideas from his dreams to use for stories. Effectiveness unknown.
His stitch-up novel Voyage of the Space Beagle (compiled and reimagined from several stand-alone short stories) is likely the germ that inspired Star Trek.
The plot of the first episode of the Space Beagle (originally entitled Dark Destroyer, extensively rewritten for the novel) was essentially lifted for the Sigourney Weaver vehicle Aliens. Van Vogt sued for copyright infringement and won.
