I always seem to come to popular things well after they’re done. Maybe their popularity is what puts me off, then when I finally get to them, it’s, “Oh fuck, this really IS good.” Angine de Poitrine, Breaking Bad, The Wire… anyway, Prime and Spud both urged me to give The Bear a try. My excuse was that I didn’t get that network; my real reasons were the popularity and that I’m spending 2/3 of my life in a kitchen these days. Well, Prime won and we’ve been doing a weekly binge watch at her place (where she does get that network). And while it’s no Breaking Bad or The Wire, it’s actually pretty good, and sipping wine on the couch while it plays is a fine way to spend an evening. I asked Prime if she’d rather be alone in the forest with a bear or a man. That got me glared at.
Birthdays will not make you glare, including that of a guy whose name sounds like a grinning Negro character from a 1910 novel; a woman who anticipated Mel Brooks; one of my spiritual fathers; another one of my spiritual fathers; Team Blue’s spiritual father; a guy whose best movie role was a sneaky coward bad guy; one of the heads not in SugarFree’s freezer; one of the greatest artists of the 20th century, and a weird guy even by weird guy standards; a lionized writer who at her best was shallow and trite; easily the best-looking woman of the 1960s; and a living example of why you never want to get plastic surgery.
And here’s a living example of why you don’t want to show up in Links. Several, actually.

The circuits that produce humor and the circuits that produce sympathetic embarrassment are related, Cohen plays on that relationship.
And this is why so many find cringe to be funny, not realizing that it is the weekest form of humor.
Ali G got there first and was, IMO, quite a bit better.
The TV show stuff was funny, but the movie was bad.
Ali g was never funny and did not age well.
Amusing in small doses a couple decades ago. I don’t think I have any interest in it again and not because I am humorless.
But yeah… you would have to have been living under a rock for the last two decades to not have expected this exact reaction from today’s cultural gatekeepers. Sorry, G.
Cohen is int funny in general.
He’s like a liberty mutual commercial. There is an audience for him but I’ve never met one of them.
The Borat movie was just nasty, not funny. I guess the people he suckered into being mocked were too nice to beat the shyte our of him after seeing the film.
“House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) called the remarks “dangerous and antisemitic,” while El-Sayed said he has “no plans” to campaign with Piker during the general election.”
That was only for the primary. He has to try to seem reasonably sane now.
For fuck’s sake he has a miles-long trail of comments expressing his Islamic supremacist beliefs, his hatred of the United States, and his fondness for socialist/communist policy.
Any opponent will have an embarrassment of riches to choose from.

That so many of the (granted, selected by the author) responses are along the lines of “confusion”, “don’t know what they are trying to say”, “don’t make a lot of sense” speaks volumes about why universal suffrage is a bad idea. People be D-U-M, that spells MOON.

I had to look up the show and the network and I still don’t know if I get it.
I get FX. I do not get Hulu. Do I get “FX on Hulu”? I have no fucking idea but if it costs extra I guess I don’t.
FX is the broadcast television, FX on Hulu is that FX shows will be available on streaming on Hulu the next day. FX and Hulu are both part of the Disney borg.

“We need a complete shutdown of women until we figure out what’s going on.”
One of my pet peeves is when the MSM describes some random criminal as a “mom” or “dad.” It’s particularly infuriating in cases like this. “Mom” and “dad” are both terms of familial affection; “mother” and “father” are more appropriate because they describe genetic relationship and carry far less emotional baggage.
“In the same way, morphine-seeky means that you always have this tendency to look for morphine, even if you are not looking for it at the moment. But I prefer both of them to ‘addict,’ because they are adjectives modifying Bobby Shaftoe instead of a noun that obliterates Bobby Shaftoe.”
In local news there was a black flag on a beach meaning no swimming at all. 60 year old man started going into the water. Lifeguard went after him and made him get out. Half an hour later, same thing second time. Then a while later same thing third time. Fellow was very upset at not being allowd to go into the sea. He camm all the way to the sea to take a dip after all. But he managed to get in when the lifeguard was otherwise occupied. Drowned and pronounced dead by the paramedics.
I live right by Lake Michigan. That happens all the time. People not familiar with large bodies of water brush off the danger and end up dead.
Same here with Erie and the Cuyahoga.
So, does moron thing, gets moron results?
Maybe the lifeguard was genuinely warning him and not being a prick. It’s just a theory.
“violently racist Islamophobe”
No idea how she is violently racist, but everyone in West Hollywood should be an Islamophobe.
Yeah, I’m still waiting for LGB people to wake up and realize that Islam hates us and wants us dead (gays) or subjugated (lesbians).
Now, now, apparently they have softened that position and now offer Gays the option of being forcibly ‘transitioned’ in some cases, so you too can experience the subjugation side of things.
Thell learn when they get their free flying lesson.
It’s 100% cool in Islam to be gay.

“What happened to Weho being inclusive of everyone???”
Newsflash – “the community” has always hated non-leftists and while their hatred of (((them))) was not so up front I suspect it was always there too. That is one reason I have had nothing to do with “the community” in decades.
“under the shadow of Trump’s Greenland threats”
Oh, brother. 🙄
The guy on Tagesschau was complaining that Trump was going to use this vote for political purposes, as if the European ruling class isn’t, or wasn’t going to if it had turned out in their favored way.
Ugh if anyone is going to be butt-hurt about someone telling the club to piss off it’s a representative of the German MSM.
They had an explainer yesterday on the referendum and somehow found the one fisherman who supported reopening the talks.
yep, a country couldn’t look at what’s happening in the EU and think, this probably isn’t right for our 400,000 population. We’re better off continuing on our course. Nope. Must be something Trump did. The left really does think that every organization, from countries down to individuals are thralls, helpless children in the grasp of the unmitigated evil of …. the right, religion, climate realists, those opposed to centralization – whatever bogey-man de jour fits the current quest for relevance and power.
Bogey-man de jour would be a great name for an album.

“Tenant complaints have surged 25% this year compared to last year in New York City, as critics warned socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s twisted war to squeeze landlords — and seize private property — is escalating…..
The surge comes after the Mamdani administration has repeatedly encouraged “ripped off” tenants to file grievances for the tiniest things. Landlords told The Post that complaints are now being made before even asking them to fix a problem.”

Yeah, that is either unbelievable stupidity or as the article implies maybe they are following the communist’s marching orders in order to get something for nothing.

“A Jewish mother who took her 4-year-old son to what she thought would be a family-friendly puppet show in Lower Manhattan earlier this month was horrified when the performance morphed into an Israel-bashing disgrace, she told The Post.
“The Cardboard Pizza Puppet Circus,” a show created and performed by puppet troupe the Boxcutter Collective that the ensemble describes as “a celebration of” New York City, was featured at this year’s International Puppet Fringe Festival, a multi-day celebration sponsored in part by the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs and New York State Council on the Arts….
The Boxcutter Collective proved its pro-Palestinian bona fides in the aftermath of the Oct. 7 atrocity against Israel in which 1,200 men, women and children were killed, when it performed in the “Gaza Monologues” in November 2023 – on “The International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People” – in response to the “horrific war taking place in Gaza.””

“The disgusting details, obtained by the California Post through a public records request, emerge as LA Mayor Karen Bass ordered the LAPD this week to stop issuing criminal citations to street vendors who flout the rules.
The move will give un-permitted food carts free reign across the city, potentially letting the conditions get even worse….
““It’s crazy to think that a brick-and-mortar restaurant can be shut down if the employees don’t wash their hands, they leave butter out overnight, their refrigerator runs two degrees warmer than they’re supposed to,” he told the Post.
“And street food vendors don’t have bathrooms, employees aren’t washing their hands, they don’t have refrigeration — you name it.”
An estimated 50,000 vendors operate throughout LA, while only 687 active vending permits were recorded as of September 2024. Only 53 of those permits were for food vendors.”

What a shithole.
Thing is, I’m all for leaving them alone at some level. The fucked up part is, as usual, the asymmetry and the use of regulation as a tool of reward, patronage, and punishment for favored and disfavored groups.
Which is always the quandary for a libertarian, small government republican (stop laughing, I’m sure some exist) – do you support what you might think is a good thing, knowing very well it is a tactic and will never be generalized because it is not a principle, only a tool to further an agenda that is antithetical to your principles in the end.
Putrid is right.

Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.), who serves on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, accused the president of using Maduro’s ouster to “control Venezuelan oil.”
“Will prices come down for Americans? Who knows but likely not as much as Trump has forced them up thru his idiotic Iran War,” Kaine wrote on the social platform X.
“But here’s a guarantee—this will pad the pockets of Trump family and Big Oil companies and delay transition to cleaner energy,” the Virginia Democrat continued. “Bottom line—Using our troops for a private oil grab is corruption at epic scale!”
It’s about time we got a return.
The clean energy transition is costing us far more than Trump’s foreign adventures.

“The second any president actively considers the first use of nuclear weapons, that person should be removed from office immediately, because that’s got to be the red line, destroying all of humanity with a nuclear strike,” Carlson said.
Carlson made the comments during a conversation with Joe Kent, the former director of the National Counterterrorism Center who resigned earlier this year in opposition to the war with Iran.
Whatever, Carlson.
Absolutely. We should use nukes casually.
Go home, Tucker. You’re drunk.
Trump and Carlson, who was once an ally of the MAGA movement and of Trump, have clashed in recent months over their opposing views on foreign policy, with Carlson being a vocal opponent of the Iran war.
Trump last week bashed Carlson on Truth Social, calling him a “loser” for meeting with Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) and former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.).

I spent a good amount of time last night using Gemini to do some genealogical research and, wow, the DNA connections you can find to famous people is awesome. One of my ancestors landed in 1625 in New Amsterdam, settled in Brooklyn (the deed exists, signed by Peter Stuyvestant, to property that makes him the first white landowner in Brooklyn), and most of his kids moved to Monmouth County, NJ. Anyhoo, I asked for a list of famous/celebrities with lineage to the Dutch in those areas and painstakingly tied them back to my ancestor. Lots of near misses in carrying “cousin creech” genes: Brando, Springsteen, Meryl Streep, Dick Van Dyke, even Abe Lincoln missed out. But lots of hits, too: Signourney Weaver, Bruce Dern, Humphrey Bogart, Gen. James Longstreet. I already knew I was DNA cousin to Pres. Martin Van Buren, founder of the Democrat Party. But am now embarrassed by some other Presidential DNA cousins: Warren Harding, Teddy Roosevelt, FDR, Nixon, Ford, Grant, and – heaven help me – Barack Obama.

Our college campuses are silent. That’s not just because universities clamped down on protests following the burst of anti-Israel demonstrations in 2023 and 2024. It is also because our students know they won’t be sent to fight in the Middle East.
That is precisely why we need a military draft. Our colleges would explode with protest, just they did during America’s war in Vietnam. Everyone would learn more about the conflict in Iran. And maybe, just maybe, we could convince our leaders to end it.

No, you ignorant slut. It’s entirely because the left doesn’t give a shit about Iran. Well, actually, they don’t give a shit about Gazans either but they pretend to in oder to advance their real interests.

Every good Maoist knows that.
A universal draft, with all commies and commie adjacent draftees serving in the helidrop brigade would solve a great many problems.

“A new filing from the defense in the Tyler Robinson murder trial over the killing of Charlie Kirk gives an indication of their strategy. One very technical aspect of their defense will be in trying to discredit Utah County’s DNA evidence, getting into details about the way the recovered DNA was interpreted and the expert testimony of the DNA analysts. The filing also reveals that over 1 million Discord communications have been recovered during the investigation along with 25,000 location records and massive amounts of other digital records…..
Digital Evidence Requiring Specialized Processing and Analysis, which includes “the entire contents of seized devices such as telephones, tablets, computers, external hard drives and other memory devices, native files of stored communications,” and affiliated files comprises the second category. The defense team has received “12.1 terabytes of digital forensic data,” including 613,023 files and 6,425 folders. The material comes from mobile devices and hard drives. The mobile devices resulted in 2,915,822 “individual artifacts” while the hard drives held 4,887,847 “individual artifacts.” An additional 170 gigabytes has not yet been reviewed.”

Didn’t the guy basically confess? Probably inadmissible. But Utah County reported a probability of 1.199 billion to 1 as 1.2 billion to one and, anyway, the lead analysts allegedly said some bad words 20 years ago and so all the DNA evidence is total corrupted and inadmissible.
