Jesus wept, I’ve been busy. I think I might be able to fix more than gets reported broken by next week. Fucking data. Fucking users. Fucking computers. I told someone I work with yesterday that this is basically my Special Olympics. I’m herding 600 excited retards through a bunch of steps they don’t really understand and hoping nobody shits themselves or gets violent. So far, better than I expected.
Here’s some links
500 CA hospices shut down, covering $600M in fraudulent spending. My mother was Controller for a hospice in Central Florida for a decade. They had like 4 facilities plus some hospital space, and I’m pretty sure they weren’t a $100M/year operation.
City of Houston last week: “you can’t put a price on immigrant safety!” City of Houston this week: “$110M is more funding than we’re willing to lose to protect immigrants.” Fuckers. I’d hate them less if they’d quit annexing adjoining towns. Maybe. Probably not.
The reissue of the Hardy Boys novels is apparently part of a vast right-wing manosphere conspiracy. I took creative writing from a guy who had been Franklin W. Dixon for a few novels. (h/t Warty)
Hey, look. Some leftists think they shouldn’t have to pay taxes for Trump’s wars. I think I shouldn’t have to pay taxes for their social security and Medicare, but I also don’t want to go to prison. I hope these guys go to prison.
Need a little music to bang heads with.
I’d like to not pay taxes either, but I’m also scared of going to prison.
Are you making Dennis Rodman/Martha Stewart Money? If not they won’t throw you in prison for not filing. If they ever catch you they’ll most likely slap your wrist and make you pay penalties and such.
I am not a CPA or Tax lawyer and this is not actual advice, but the governments ineptitude is the scofflaws secret weapon, don’t draw attention to yourself and you can get away with a lot.
No, you really can’t. You can get your salary garnished for all eternity to where you can’t ever afford anything, and actually the little people get thrown in jail first because they can’t fight back. IRS agents get a hard-on from fucking with the little people.
How TF does that work? Why isn’t he in prison…?
He used that secret trick where if you never start paying taxes, you will never have to for the rest of your life.
and doesn’t drive or have a government ID or a SS card or a job or any of the zillion other ways the government can track you down.
Imagine if this creates some great awakening on the left that taxation is theft. We already got the spiteful commies to de-fund DHS out of spite. To Bro’s point last post, how can we further weaponize this spite to cut the government? Can we convince them that the Department of Education is Trumps favorite government department?
The problem as always is that to them, the things they want are obviously a benefit to all mankind. But the things the other guys want are evil.
Yes. So we convince them that the Department of Education is revamped to teach only lessons from the Bible. Let the defunding begin!
So we convince them that the Department of Education is revamped to teach only lessons from the Bible.
It’s so crazy that it might actually do more to end the DoE than Trump and McMahon are doing.
Same problem as always. The progressive left wants to control the power, they don’t want to remove it. The new right is the same way.
So was the old right. It isn’t new.
I went to high school with this guy, might be of interest

I used to read his blog!
I think I shouldn’t have to pay taxes for their social security and Medicare, . . . .
Keep paying so that I can keep receiving.
Thank you for your support.
500 CA hospices shut down
Come on MSM, let’s hear the sob stories about grandma who was on her deathbed and had to die in a cardboard box in the alley because her hospice was shut down. Something tells me that’s not going to happen.
Just like all the sob stories about little kids not getting an education we didn’t hear anbout after the exposure of the learing centers in MN.
We might also say it’s redundant: another publisher, Applewood Books, began reissuing the original versions back in the 1990s, albeit with a prefatory note dutifully warning readers that they might find some language “extremely uncomfortable, and if so, you should grow a backbone.”
Fixed it for them.

Same issue for the Tom Swift Sr and Jr series.
References to coloreds and the like. My son read them and loved them. I have a bunch.
I simply had a chat with him explaining why they were written that way and why they aren’t polite to use now.
aka don’t be “retarded”.
Holy shit, you actually needed to talk and interact with your children? Who does that?
Same issue for the Tom Swift Sr and Jr series.
Yep.
I have a large number of both Tom Swift series books. Original editions. I inherited them from a relative.
lol that’s crazy talk – asserted without evidence even
We have been collecting them, most printed in the 80s and earlier
Poor Houston. If only they were located in the one-Party Democrat state, they’d be free to let the illegal aliens roam free and maybe even house and feed them too.

$105 for first six books plus Treasure Island. Not impressed with the cartoon illustration.
Looks like they’re doing Larry Correia’s new series under one of their imprints. The right-wing manosphere proton-fascist conspiracy might be getting twenty of my hard-earned dollars here shortly…

Joe Hardly: Hmmm. Who would benefit from two buildings dissapearing?
Frank Hardly: Oooh. Oh, I just started getting a clue.
Joe Hardly: Really?
Frank Hardly: Yeah, I’m totally getting a clue.
Joe Hardly: Oh. Oh, thats giving me a clue. Yea-Yeah I’ve got a raging clue right now.
Frank Hardly: Mine’s pointing to the left.
Joe Hardly: Oh, Frank, seriously, I have such a raging clue right now, I think we better follow it.
Frank Hardly: OK, lets follow your raging clue.
my first thought too
So mom and dad feed her and put a roof over her head. Glibs, maybe she is single!
So wait, working part time and mooching off mom and dad makes you a “low-income war tax resister “now? Maybe she should get an EBT card, that way the government has less to spend on the military.
She has a bright future in marketing ahead of her. I can see it.
Commies love to tell themselves stories about who they really are.
I also am curious how much ink and piercings she has undoubtably paid cash for.
is that your kink or are you trying to insult her?
I’m not saying!
I can’t even find pictures of Missy Pidgeon. But I did see that she was interviewed by Scholastic Perspectives, and the first few words of the title. The whole DNS for that site is dead.
“Missy Pidgeon of Secret Nudist Friends/Blushed talks about her…”
I wouldn’t have her as a change-sorting orphan. That kind of low IQ psychobabble would have me bludgeoning her like a baby seal inside of one day.
Speaking of wanting to bludgeon young commies like baby seals, listen to some of these kids:

“Bludgeon like a baby seal” is a favorite metaphor of mine, and is not used often enough in casual conversation, in my opinion.
Evil music.
If she’s low income, she’s not paying any fucking taxes anyways. And if she’s paying taxes via a paycheck and she doesn’t file, she’s not getting a refund for the taxes she did pay via her paycheck.
Talk to me when Senator Pelosi says she’s not paying her taxes.
I really wouldn’t be surprised if Pelosi never pays much if any tax to begin with.
MY GAWD! MY GAWD! THAT’S THE BRO’S MUSIC!

The Guardian has described him as a “celebrity” of the New Right and a “tastemaker in a burgeoning proto-fascist movement.”
How do I get to be one of those?
I’m trying to decide whether the Guardian or the New York Review is more insufferable…
“Get to be”?
random thoughts
If Klingons are so good at fighting, why were they conquered by the Federation?
It seems the Klingons are like the Scots – good at fighting, but ended up as part of a more competently run empire. If the Klingons fought better, they would exact tribute from the Federation or Ferengi the way the Goths and Huns did to the Romans.

Ah don’t hate the English. They’re just wankers. We are colonised by wankers. We can’t even pick a decent, vibrant, healthy culture to be colonised by.
America is currently being (re?)-colonized by Mexicans.
If today’s English ruling class were merely wankers, that would be an improvement.
The IRA sized up the British army pretty well.

800 years of war, outnumbered 10 to 1, and still victorious against the world’s most powerful empire. The Irish are tougher than most. Or at least they used to be. Odd that after centuries of British domination, they so easily surrender to EU multy-kulty nonsense.
If Klingons are so good at fighting, why were they conquered by the Federation?
Money and/or climate change.
“His goal, he told Ross Douthat in a New York Times interview last year, was to build a reactionary cultural apparatus…”
Yeah, I’m sure that’s exactly what he said.
Candrsenal released video (1hr 15 min runtime) on the making of the animations for their Garand episodes and their Lee Navy episode.
I’m about half way through. They’re still talking about how complicated the Garand is. The Lee Navy is at the end of the video.

But Passage is also on a crusade against political correctness: the originals are better, it suggests, not despite their offenses but because of them. Yet the novels themselves may not live up to the publisher’s anti-woke marketing. It’s hard to imagine that their relatively tame transgressions will do much to excite a far-right audience already awash in racist memes.
Where are the lynchings, dammit? When do they go to Chinatown and cut off all the pigtails? When do they burn down Miss Lannigan’s School for Girls and rape the students?
What a gyp.
on tax resistance
***
Henry David Thoreau’s arrest for nonpayment of a poll tax in July 1846 was a direct result of his opposition to the Mexican-American War and the expansion of slavery into the Southwest. Thoreau believed that the poll tax supported these unjust actions and refused to pay it. His arrest was a significant event that influenced his later writings, particularly the essay “Civil Disobedience,” which he published in 1849. Thoreau’s actions and the resulting arrest highlighted the moral and ethical dilemmas of taxation and government in the face of injustice.

Going to jail to make a point? How quaint.

I heartily accept the motto, “That government is best which governs least”; and I should like to see it acted up to more rapidly and systematically. Carried out, it finally amounts to this, which also I believe–“That government is best which governs not at all”; and when men are prepared for it, that will be the kind of government which they will have. Government is at best but an expedient; but most governments are usually, and all governments are sometimes, inexpedient.

Reason is currently running an article advocating for people to stop paying taxes to protest the “illegal” Iran war. The one they admit that Congress could stop at any time.
Sound legal advice.
Supreme Court rules death penalty OK
In a landmark decision sure to send shockwaves across the social media influencing sphere, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that the death penalty is OK for people who post “BREAKING” and a red siren emoji before every tweet.
The ruling represented a clear stance taken by the highest court in the land to approve handing down severe punishments for the egregious act of hyperbolizing every single post they make to their platforms.
Not paying taxes in protest of OMB is just the latest current thing, as evidenced by the bog-standard TikTok video.
Irwin Schiff haz a sad.
It’s the latest current thing that people will pretend to do but in reality won’t. Yes.6
