I saw what you did.
One of the difficulties of editing ye olde Glibertarians.com is that I see everything before posting day/time. Normally, that’s cool, but That MF’er Shpip got me. His post for Memorial Day will be at 7 AM – I made it to the last two sentences before a couple of tears may have rolled. Dammit! You had best not miss it.
As I kind of already feel like this year will be one of those where I do handle the day well. We will just let Shpip’s post stand for the day. (We, being me).
Anyhoo, you came for links, right? OK, you came for comments…but you get links anyways.
Music. This is a very different one. Bonus Mendoza music.
Comments are open and all yours.
Five’ll get you ten that Al Jizzera and the rest of the Arab press will blame Teh Joos, and the average ‘tard on the street will eat it up.
Look, if Israel would just stop existing, Iran wouldn’t have to have a nuclear program, the US wouldn’t have a problem with them and they wouldn’t have to attack.
It is all flawlessly logical!

The internal backlash has grown so intense that one Times journalist vented to Puck: “I am sick of being embarrassed by the Opinion section.”
Is he chained to his desk?
“I was so upset, I ALMOST SAID SOMETHING.”
(they might treat me like that bari whore, so i couldn’t say anything)
At least they aren’t British fishing trawlers.
Speaking of posts, mine hits tonight.
It is possible that it will piss a few glibs off, in fact I kind of hope it does, but I fear it wont.
I think there is an interesting discussion to be had about the post itself, not its specific content.
I should be around for a bit of early discussion and then later on I will respond to everyone.
And before anyone asks, there is no discussion of the single land tax in the post. Hmmm….is there anyway I could have worked it in? No, no there wasnt.
I look forward to your defense of pineapple on pizza… but my silly sleep schedule will doubtless keep me from reading it until I get up in the morning.
The content is not controversial.
Hawaiian pizza is awesome.

You’re just saying that to trick people into reading it, aren’t you?
This sounds like it’s gonna be a bunch of dick pics.

It’s already a fruit pizza as it has tomatoes on it.
Threedoor:
You’re one step away from asking for fruit sushi there…
Pineapple, anchovy, jalapeno pizza is one of the best.
“Hmmm….is there anyway I could have worked [the single-land tax] in? No, no there wasnt.”
Slacker. See, the site and page we’re reading on is privately owned and operated. Our time is taxed by reading it, and proprietors somehow for doing whatever it is they do. Taxation in several ways, “single” in many ways, as well. (See, I’m single, so I’m inherently affected, I’d argue disproportionately.)
Now get your metaphorical hat on and get crackin’. As Omnipotent Overlord, I’ll continue to tax you as I see fit until you do such.
Engagement farming at its best.
Works way better than it has any right to.
You get it.
I don’t know, seems on brand to me. If Jewish rape dogs embarrassed you, wait until you find out the Pulitzers you won for Russiagate and covering up the Holodomor.
Maybe I’m just being naive but frankly I think more likely than the Jewish rape dogs, is the likelihood that Israeli guards have been told to be “on their best behavior” with the 100% certain knowledge that an idiot like Kristof would unquestionably accept any ridiculous shit the Gazans feed him.
That’s absolutely what I assume. I think we’re correct to. They *know* any actual fuckery like that invites *everyone* to stop giving a shit about their entire existence.
‘Acting out’ is an earthquake, of whatever proportion, during Damocles’s active swordplay.
I’d believe the guards are under those orders, but it doesn’t mean they’ll all follow them. Abu Ghraib happened after all.
Neph: Compromise that sounds mighty plausible, if ‘everything’ alleged were true:
Arabs don’t like dogs. Israeli soldiers+ put some dogs in to ‘terrorize’ ’em. (Likely not the biting sort, cuz wounds leave a trail.) A sniffer dog gets a little humpy, a ‘source’ is nearby, who exaggerates all of it to a ‘journo’ who wants to sell a story.
That covers a lot of bases. Sounds a lot more plausible than Israeli rape dogs or Israeli soldiers treating Oct 7-associates with kid gloves.

“F—k Brian Thompson,” Rojas said. “That’s all I want to say. F—k Brian Thompson. F—k his mom.”
Weissbort chimed in with an even more reprehensible response.
“His children are better off without him,” she said. “They need to learn to not be like their dad. And enjoy the blood money, kids.
“He’s responsible for more deaths than Osama bin Laden, and I remember Americans celebrating when Osama bin Laden was killed. It’s not like we don’t understand heroic violence, or, like, when violence is good.”
1) Nothing like a segue into pure TDS…

For example, the federal government had expected that around 140 states would also implement the rules. So far, however, the tax rules have been fully implemented by only 33 countries.
“A global solution has effectively become an EU project,” said Hongler. The non-implementation by the US is also particularly significant, he said.
It only works if it’s inescapable.
I’d comment… but Swiss already summed up my thoughts on the matter.
Warrents for all enacting or pushing the policy for crimes against humanity.
Line them up against the wall and shoot them, then start the trial.
“the federal government had expected that around 140 states”
I’ve always wondered what the right number of states should be? Minniesoda probably is good for 3. Or maybe a break into 50 countries and let each country figure out the right number of states.
I favor a return to city-states, personally. Or perhaps county-states, given our current political structures. Beyond that level there’s insufficient accountability.
Let 8.3 billion nations bloom…

Reading up the states geographically would probably double the numbers but some would become parts of adjacent states as well.
Breaking up. Dang it.
Pat:
I would like a change that after a city/county breaches a population side, it gets split off from the state and gets a different set of benefits (I would say a single Senator, and halved representation in the House). Allow it to sue the state for full independence if it wants.
I would say that when a city metro area achieves 1/3 of the total population of the state, then it gets broken off as a city state.
Hydraulic Empire.
I always though it was Confoederatio Helvetica.
A hydraulic empire only works if the the capitol can deny a necessity; if food has to be delivered, water is supplied by canal, etc., and these are only able to be provided by the whim of that capital.
So, Mars, needing both food and water, would be subject to the terms of a hydraulic empire. (the term comes from water canals in the middle east, I beleive)

We either need more levels of indenting or I am going full P Brooks.
I would gladly accept one more. Or two, tops.
Reshared from the weekend ’cause I still think it’s hilarious:
One of the better parody accounts on X.
“I told my boss that if I didn’t get a raise I was going to leave.
Hey, hey, I was just kidding. No, I don’t have key, why do you ask?”
The number of supposed ‘conservatives’ on X that didn’t recognize that as parody was…disconcerting.
Everyone makes mistakes, but if they’re big enough, the pain doesn’t even last a second.

Work requires us to use “Island” browser. No issues, other than today. After lunch it, uh, kinda broke my computer. It won’t restart and goes to a different sort of Blue Screen of Death. It won’t let me get to anything.
It was that Windows I bought last year, which turned out to be a big mistake, cuz I hated it. But it was useful as an extra screen. And for when WFH popped up. Until today.
I *did* do something on my Chromebook to use Linux for a .deb file. That was new, uncharted territory for me. I was in contact with work, so they knew I was up to fixin’ shit and not slacking off. Strange day, mostly productive day. I only scored 84 papers today, instead of my usual ~150.
Not sure if or how I’ll go about the Windows machinee-ma-bob. I’m now excited and intimidated to read Shpip’s upcoming piece. When Dad is thanked for his ‘service’ at a museum or wherever when folk assume he was in Vietnam, he is embarrassed and makes sure to tell him he did Basic in the Reserves and no more.
If you get the blue screen of death pull out the cartridge and blow on it. Put it back in.
I recommend upgrading to the top loader though.

Pepperoni and black olive has been proven, empirically, to be the best pizza.
You misspelled “bacon and mushrooms”
If there is not both bacon and pepperoni on it, it by definition cannot be the best pizza.
The Holy Trinity of toppings is pepperoni, sausage, onion. Mushrooms are acceptable if you want to be a heretic and go against established doctrine.

A new study surveyed more than 1,000 people to gauge their levels of news knowledge as part of their media literacy. It also examined their levels of news skepticism, trust and cynicism as well as their likelihood to believe misinformation about COVID-19 and politics. Researchers found that individuals with greater news knowledge had higher news skepticism but lower news cynicism. Those with higher levels of news cynicism were more likely to believe misinformation.
