Howdy, folks! Much shenanigans here in the Gulch. Everyone is off gallivanting around, leaving poor Spud and wife to hold down the shop tonight. To answer a question, retarded waitress got canned because arguing with the people who pay your salary in front of other customers generally has a bad outcome. She dipped into that well one too many times.
Links?
“Ya gotta fight! For your right! To PAARRTTAAYY!!!”
This one may actually hurt your brain.
“Like Graham Platner, but worse.”
You get a bomb, you get a bomb, you get a bomb…
Okay, that’s it for me. Back to the salt mines. Peace out, Glibbies.
This one may actually hurt your brain.
Yeah, and it didn’t take very long.
Look, ladies, it’s empowering to run around having lots of sex, but not with a husband in a traditional marriage because you want to have children. That’s just like the Handmaid’s Tale.
::starts reading, gives up in annoyance at pearl-clutching over scandalous “sexy” maternity dresses that cling to the bump, flashes back to a certain Rolling Stone cover that was hailed as “stunning and brave.”
Oops! Make that Vanity Fair. 🙄
They all blend…
You were probably getting it confused with the Janet Jackson Hand bra cover from RS.
I don’t think I have seen “frumpy maternity wear” in decades but you do you, The Spectator. 🙄
Such a fine line between Usha and a good slut it would seem.
“‘Good Slut: How Money, Sex and Power Set Women Free’ (Little, Brown).”
Uh. Sets little brown women free? (No, auto, do not fucking capitalize “brown.”) Or ya gotta be little and brown to get set free like that? Or little and brown girls are good at it? Better? (Best?)
Those are the publishers? They’re little and brown, eh? Don’t they normally alphabetize names? I see a big black and white problem, with little conquering brown, subjugating and oppressing it to secondary status. For once, the Lord of Firsting has a point.
Reading between the lines, I’m guessing the author gained a lot of weight when she was pregnant.
Heh.
Insubordination is a lame way to get shit canned.
arguing with the people who pay your salary
Has motherhood made WebDom get all soft and squishy? I seem to recall someone who was rather no nonsense about such.
A day or two ago I asked if Team Socialism were freaking out about Usha Vance’s birthing person privilege. One paragraph in, and I think I have my answer.
Susan Collins has maintained her seat in the Senate since 1996.
It’s baffling at the end of the day that people routinely say they hate Congress, but continuously protect and reelect their little critters.
Nope. They like the person they choose and hate the ones that everyone does. It’s all the fault of those other people.
Exactly
They like the person they choose
Richard can confirm or deny this. I know a few Vermonters who all say about Bernie Sanders, “He’s an asshole, but he’s our asshole.” In other words, they don’t like him, but he brings home the bacon. In other words, brings Federal dollars into Vermont. So they vote for him.
No. I hate them all.
DEG: Electing Sanders to the House in 1990 also got him out of local politics.
Electing Sanders to the House in 1990 also got him out of local politics.
The other thing those Vermonters said about Sanders had nothing to do with “got him out of local politics”.
It was he spent a bunch of time going around to rural areas that statewide candidates usually ignored in favor of Burlington. Sanders recently had left his position of mayor of Burlington for positions in academia. Many folks in the rural parts of Vermont were impressed that a candidate for statewide office paid attention to them as opposed to ignoring them in favor of folks in Burlington and maybe Montpelier and Brattleboro.
lol What does it take, like half an hour to circle the whole state?
like half an hour to circle the whole state?
No.
It was a joke.
To be fair, I’d reelect her over the shitty communists the left keep puking up.
There is a reason why she is a RINO.
She is the best you are going to get from Maine.
Assuming NATO paid for this, or was it just the US directly?
As I understand it, the US has substantially reduced any direct aid to Ukraine. But I am guessing we are supplying Ukraine with satellite images of ship locations.
Unless we stopped paying for the large majority of NATO operations, we’re paying for it either way.
Pregnant women should dress like POWs.
they should wear burkinis.
Shouldn’t they just lead with the fact that he’s another commie? The loathsome behavior comes with the territory & is entirely expected from that lot.
I think that’s a selling point to Maine Dems.
Yes.
Though there are non-Commies in Maine. CD-1 and CD-2 are very different places.
‘Good Slut: How Money, Sex and Power Set Women Free’ (Little, Brown).
Did she get Jeffrey Epstein to write the preface?
She wasn’t looking for a middle school readership.
I cannot 🙄 any harder. Terrorist strongholds are literally everywhere. We would go broke dismantling enough of them to make a difference.
Here’s a list of Been There, Done That

lol Yeah there are probably many more we don’t even know about.
Fuck you and your paywall, Spectator.
The modern progressive woman has been taught to view pregnancy as a disease to be avoided (or cured). Everything follows from there.
But if you GET pregnant, well. Ya need to abort that oppressor! OR! (AND!) The Government should be giving you LOTS of money to keep you free from such subjugation. (They’ throw in the free learing center, the benevolent saints they are.)
A Republican group has vowed to spend at least $42 million against new Democratic Maine Senate nominee Troy Jackson, the Daily Caller News Foundation has learned.
It would be crazy to throw a little money at finding a better candidate than Collins.
Reelection is what, 90-plus percent certain? Why would they waste money finding a better candidate?
The Republicans could’ve done that but they spent it all on shafting Massie.
For an empty suit that will likely turn out to be a RINO.
You are talking about a Maine Republican. What different positions would an electable, as in the general election, have?
I can think of one Maine Republican who left for NH. He did pretty well going against a sitting incumbent Senator who has big name recognition (King was governor before being Senator) in 2018.
Anyone want to watch a movie on how Robert Moses destroyed America’s cities?
How you may ask? By building roads and allowing people the freedom to drive where they please. THIS IS WHY WE DON’T HAVE WALKABLE CITIES!!! And he did it at the expense of the browns!
Should say it’s not just that he destroyed our cities. Why, he destroyed all of America itself!
Americans were able to move out of the inner cities because of his devotion to the auto mobile. He enabled white flight!
Detroit waves and says “who dat”?
True, cities were destroying themselves with or without him. He was just clever and in the right place and time to accumulate a huge amount of power while helping to move the process along in the Tri-State area.
And Niagara Falls.
The anti car loons deserve to play in the freeway at night.
He was about as anti libertarian and technocratic as you like.
A Fauci if you will.
And never elected to any position, so he couldn’t be voted out!
Snackbar enthusiast, based and tired of depravity, or just a bad driver?
BERLIN — A van drove into a crowd during Berlin’s famed LGBTQ+ event Saturday, killing one person and injuring at least 15, prompting police to call off the celebrations and a concert in the German capital hours after it had begun.
“We are conducting an intensive search for possible suspects,” police officer Florian Nath said on a short video released on the Berlin police account on X.
Nobody saw the perpetrator, but we’re pretty sure he had on a MAGA hat.
So, mission accomplished.
My first thought, as well. Bin Laden won. Bigly. If Muhammad Heaven’s real, Osama got himself 216 comely virgins for it.
Heckler’s veto wins again.
Well, now we know.
Story to be drowned like a kitten by the usual media.
Thanks for the explanation about the firing Spud. I’m glad for you she is gone. I’m sad for me there won’t be more stories.
College town. You can bet the next hire won’t be any better.
No doubt you are right. At least we will have the stories.
For Tres, a specific update from SiL’s bestie:
💖✨ DID YOU KNOW we have a line of whimsical crop top tanks that are handmade by Kali | Dottie & Mae using reclaimed materials in sizes XL-6X? We do. 😎 Which look is your fave?
I’m wearing sizes 1X and 2X in the vid; some have more stretch than others and sizing depends somewhat on how you want to style them. For reference, I’m a size 38G, 18/20, 5’4”.
For once I’m glad there are no pictures. Hope Q is busy doing what Q does best.
Give me her number.
Damn, Spud nailed it tonight.
And I mean nailed it. Srsly.
The snark.
The sparseness and pointedness of the text accompanying the link.
That is all.
Well he’s no Ken Schultz.
Was that the wall of text guy? His comments were actually pretty good if you could handle the verbosity.
Was that the wall of text guy?
Yes.
He got banned from here a long time ago.
He got banned from here a long time ago.
Sorry. I confused Ken Schultz with someone else.
Schultz was a wall of text guy. Just not the person who got banned that I was thinking of.
You must be thinking of the n****r guy. Not too many people have been banned from here I don’t think.
You must be thinking of the n****r guy
I’m thinking of someone else.
Catholic. I remember some unhinged posts then one of TPTB posting that he sent threatening e-mails to TPTB about some of his posts.
Ken Schultz knew enough about Seventh Day Adventism that I think he was a Seventh Day Adventist.
Eddie was the Catholic guy who flounced off.
John got banned the weekend before the 2017 eclipse. (I remember the date because I was stuck in Leominster, MA at a wedding and missed the drama. The marriage was annulled after four months.)
Did you get back the toaster you’d given them?
Eddie was the Catholic guy who flounced off.
YES! Thanks! it was Eddie I was thinking of.
Usha missed a once-in-a-lifetime trolling opportunity. She should have worn the Handmaids Tale outfit.
Young Washington was good, not great, and I appreciated what it was going for. I enjoyed it. Mom was displeased with Kelsey Grammer’s message at the end, and with dripping OMB disdain, “Well, we HAD a good run.” She didn’t love my retort, explaining how the DSA and all the non-socialist Dems are being primaried out, are explicitly running a platform of dismantling the Senate, showing how eager they are to destroy the US system (as long as they get to rule the ashes).
I wasn’t in best movie-watching mood with them, so YMMV.
Watching anything political with a group of lefties sounds like torture.
How far through his life did they cover?
Ooh. 1743-1755. Ends on the Battle of Monongahela in French/ Indian War.

Scientists puzzled by rising leprosy in Florida
The disease is believed to be transmitted mainly from person-to-person via direct contact and/or infectious aerosols. Armadillos also carry the pathogen and can infect humans. In years gone by, those with leprosy were often exiled to “leper colonies.” Today, the disease is treated with antibiotics.
I found that last sentence intriguing, as I’ve been told for years that a leper can’t change his spots.
Are they sure it is leprosy and not just people wandering off from The Villages?
Haha, I get it, Shpip. You said …

I go by my middle name (not my choice) and every card I have has a different combo of names and initials and I have never had a problem like this. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I swear I have entered the wrong incantation on more than one CC form and not been rejected.
Even on backwards websites (usually .gov) where I must enter a full first name and cannot enter anything more than a middle initial, somehow I still haven’t encountered much difficulty.
Private versus public sector in a nutshell.
Sure, just roll that negative equity into a diesel 3500 that you will use as a commuter.
I thought I could afford my dream truck. Now I’m stuck paying $900 a month and can’t escape the payment
Gosh, who knew that could possibly change. 🙄
She was but just wasn’t aware of it.
I watched one of my kids do similar things. Inflation would build a little equity in the house, borrow the money back out. Soon the debt was more than the original price of the house.
I think I see where things went south.
I haven’t borrowed a dime since college loans. And it took me way too long to pay that back, entirely my own fault.
OTOH I don’t “own” anything nor do I plan to so… well, there is that I guess. Nobody to pass my “wealth” on to so what do I care.
There’s nothing wrong with borrowing. Responsibly.
I know someone in their 30s learning a hard lesson of irresponsible borrowing. Retard.
She financed roughly $60,000 for the truck, including negative equity rolled over from her Jeep.
At least two failures here.
Three, she bought a Jeep.
Sell the thing, take the loss without compounding it, and for god’s sake keep your mouth shut because people will think you’re a moron.
Whoops, too late.
Cassie is a retard.
Maybe she should start an OF…
She does seem young and stupid enough to excel in that venue but I don’t think the pic at the top is actually her.
JFC. This is why Dave Ramsey will never go out of business.
I’m getting “millions of American children are hungry give us money” ads again tonight. One wonders where the thousands of dollars I pay in taxes every year in order to solve this supposed problem are going.
Check the pockets of the execs who run the NGOs that distribute the funds (to themselves).
For only $2 a day, for only 2% of your wealth. Basically the same thing.
I think I reverse-Brooksed that one.
This has been the point I bang home about the Musk shit. They all bring up the bullshit about world hunger.
Governments spend $50-60 trillion a year. Hundreds of billions flow into Africa per year. Musk has his lifetime wealth which mostly exists on paper and one bad day could knock off huge portions of it.
None of the little commies have ever come back with anything as to why if the UN could solve world hunger with just $20 billion it hasn’t been done already.
It couldn’t be because the global Marxists are lying their fucking asses of to make a private citizen look bad for hoarding all that moneys that could be filling their pockets.
Well for only two percent of his wealth he could solve world hunger so he’s obviously to blame for it. Then again, maybe he just doesn’t want to line the pockets of whoever happens to be the modern day equivalent of Idi Amin.
Right. To be blunt, the massive amounts of aid Africa receives isn’t just squandered. It’s actively harmful. It props up godawful regimes and completely undercuts domestic food production. It’s similar enough to the shit we see with people who on welfare incentivized not to work.
William Easterly nods in agreement.
You want to feed people? Give food directly to the local food bank.
Or stand out on the street and feed whomever walks by.
Don’t give any money to these fucking leeches.
I have a sudden urge to watch Falling Down again.
I’m going to guess they’d never show that on cable again in our lifetimes.
I’m still a cable junkie and I’ve never seen it on the schedule, ever. Fortunately I have the DVD.
And I own what isn’t but might as well be the soundtrack.
When I first read this my brain substituted “African” for “American” and then thought “I thought Sally Struthers was dead.”
Apparently she’s still alive, but I’m pretty sure she ate all those African kids.
Huh…I thought she was dead too.
She has been a punchline for so long.
I’ve mentioned it before but I went to ghetto schools in the 70’s and 80’s and I remember actual pigpen poor children.
I haven’t seen anything like that in decades. Today’s “poor” children are fat and walk around with cell phones.
For the record, I am officially on vacation this week.
Yes, we have plans. And the weather is threatening to fuck with us. 🤬
Where are you going?
Enjoy what you can.
Pocono stuff.
Nice. Never been but I’ve seen the signs a couple dozen times while traveling between Ithaca and NYC.
The Poconos are nice.
👍
My boss is on vacay.
I hope to sneak out for a half day or so to pick up my shit from storage and start packing. I am so excited to move in a few weeks.
TIL: Apparently the “thumbs up” emoji is offensive to Persian people because it’s their equivalent of the middle finger.
I now regret the encouragement I’ve been giving to my young Iranian colleague on Teams.
They probably deal, knowing they’re dealing with a North American outfit.
I hope so, but she’s not that bright.
I think all my offshore colleagues are Ukrainians exiled in Poland (?). Hopefully no cultural misunderstandings.
Neuromancer trailer:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g79GPZSQHBk
I’ll watch it. I thought The Peripheral was a pretty good show, so hoping this won’t suck.
Are there any race or gender swaps that you know of? That’s the first warning sign these days that they’re about to butcher something you care about.
It’d be awesome to see some sort of Berserk adaptation that didn’t suck. 97 anime was pretty good for what it was (low budget and only part of a story). Everything after was an abomination. And then Miura died…
Netflix has flirted with doing something in the past, but if they did I guarantee Casca would be black and Griffith and Guts would go full homo and it’d be godawful and cheap looking.
Think of The Witcher. Only worse. Don’t know how many people here even know what Berserk is.
lol I just had a vivid memory of one of my childhood favorite novels, The Lathe of Heaven, from the sixties.
The fierce black woman character – it is a major plot point – from the novel and the 1980 film was replaced with Lisa fucking Bonet in a later remake LOL
Considering the substantial amount of body modifications in Gibson’s cyberpunk work this isn’t the project to get upset about race swapping.
From that trailer, everyone seems on the up and up, race and gender wise.
Will watch. That book holds up, I read it again last year.

A week ago I had an accidental discharge while drawing my concealed firearm during a training. The shot caused me to lose my left testicle and a liter of blood, but it didn’t take my spirit.

glock 23.

great combo.
But it may have taken your ability to get an erection.
You know what no one can ever take from you? Your pulsating First. It remains fully engorged no matter what.
Heck, age can do that and you don’t even have to shoot yourself first.
Let me guess: some kind of striker fire with a round in the chamber. Maybe switch to a snub nose recolver with a good stiff trigger.
There’s a new domestic abuse simulator – from the vantage point of the woman!
This will not go how they think it will. Or it will because they’re just grifters hoping to cause stupid shit.
Love the title. Totally not biased or political. Fun!
Everything gets **-ed out. It’s so fucking childish. I’m angry folk eagerly go along with the blatant Orwellian changes to society and language.
I’m appalled that there’s no mode to play as the husband.
LOL
An asterisk in “abuse?” What kind of stupid shit is that?
Does this include mentally ill women like my mother?
I am very tired.
That is all.
Have you tried relaxing and downloading a copy of the Woman Simulator? It’ll give you perspective.
I want a mechanic to flatter me so I can get a new handbag. Surely, I’m not the only one.
(I only go by that when I’m working. (Me and the bag? Both >$20.))
So, your new office is downtown now, Ev?
Oh, baby. I take myself … right downtown. Through the tube. Straight downtown.
Joy, pity, it’s only a seven minute commute. Not enough time to finish my smoke and cuddle on the wheel.

Kids on drugs.

🍄👧👧🏽👦🏻
Did the kids have fun staying there?
“The YMCA said it is against policy for campers to share food with each other.”
*shakes head sadly*
And these were labelled, so presumably this was a commercial product. I have never even heard of mushroom candy, much less (as strongly implied) hallucinogenic mushroom candy, which can’t be legal. Can it?
Asking for a friend.
*Bings*
Huh. They do make non-hallucinogenic mushroom gummies. I can’t imagine how they could make anyone sick, though.
