I know people want to talk about the Grammy’s. I’m not going to do that do you. I’m not going to dig up Madonna in her “Mickey Rourke” phase and post it here. Not my style, and quite frankly you’re probably more into Elizabeth Holmes attempting to escape prison by fleeing to Mexico. She looks…well…
She’s been run pretty hard, but I’m pretty sure she’s ready to harvest organs.
In other news from Mexico….Trump makes, Biden unmakes, federal judge remakes, but did anyone ask Mexico?
I recall a song from the 80’s that had a better response to this.
Read to the end. Clearly the problem isn’t corrupt officials, its economic inequality.
This is the most Mexican link, in the history of Mexican links.
“Stability” LOL
I wonder how lucrative it would be to build an enormous prison for communist narco-terrorists, and then begin to sell cell space to neighboring dictators to house their communist narco-terrorists?
Another day, another group of people Lula wants to ensure are kept in poverty.
I don’t think this occurred in the part of the island Peter Schiff lives.
Its like they’re trying to light the Gojira signal. “I’M HERE FROM PLANET ZERO”.
“I know people want to talk about the Grammy’s.”
I don’t know any of them.
Talk about the Grammy’s what?
Her bunions and her last trip to the market. You wouldn’t believe what that old biddy Mrs. Klausmeier said to her in the checkout lines!
“I forgot my hearing aids.”?
I got caught up yesterday. The music is bad and the people are awful.
Well, they got the righties undies in a bunch. So mission accomplished, I guess.
They got a ratings bounce back, so pissing off the right to get left viewers worked?
Stay tuned so we can prove we really are satanists!
They say the ratings increased by 20M from last year.
I don’t believe they even totaled that many from both years.
And the show was too short.
Who gives a fuck about a goddamn Grammy?
While it would be polite — my gut says “Don’t care.” Just refuse to physically let them in until / unless they clear the proper paperwork like every other border in the gorram world works
Of course, this would require an actually secure border — and we all know PPP isn’t down with that.
If that’s a Nena reference… I’d rather skip the ending of that song if we could.
1980s Bobarian thought she was the hottest thing in the world.
I don’t see more than “cute like Martha Quinn” when I look back now.

I’d probably name goats as my favorite farm animals, if push came to chevre.
What the hell are they doing to those poor animals at the zoo that makes them unfit to eat?
That was the question I was about to ask! I get firing him for cooking and eating zoo animals. But claiming they are unfit for consumption?
I imagine some veterinary drugs are not approved for use in animals intended for consumption.
But would they survive cooking?
Who knows, but likely FDA issue.
I’m not sure there’s something to survive from antibiotics.
Do know that certain chicken antibiotics have egg withdrawal times. Sometimes you can’t eat those eggs for so many weeks after, and sometimes it’s forever.
“I recall a song from the 80’s that had a better response to this.”

Hello 8th grade. 7 seconds, DK, Minor Threat, Gorilla Biscuits, Circle Jerks.
Never heard of any of those
I’ve seen three of them.
“Ted?”
“Yes, Bill?”
“Strange things are afoot at the Circle Jerks.”
Otto: I can’t believe I used to like these guys.
Kevin Seconds used to have a little coffee shop in Sac Midtown, True Love Cafe. Not a bad place, but he could be a bit of an a-hole at times.
I really like “My Wife and My Dead Wife” by Robyn.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBrX__d-bf4
Silly song about a ghost wife competing with a new wife.
Here’s the Circle Jerks singing about the Biden economy.
I can’t believe I liked those guys https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dR5j_GYOQA
Exactly what I was waiting for, Pengy!
All I know from this year’s Grammys is that there was a Satanic scene brought to you by Phizer.
Meh. I grew up in the Satanic scares of the ’80’s. Where KISS was supposedly to have meant Knights in Satan’s service. And D&D was a gateway to the occult.
Nothing new under the sum
Well, we’ve forgotten the past, so now we get to repeat it.
We haven’t forgotten it. What we don’t purposefully ignore, we’ve destroyed.
“We” in a manner of speaking.
Yes, but Satan is now trans and non-binary. Extra edgy.
Where are the Cheetos?!?
Just reading that line made me laugh – I don’t even have to click through.
My buddy and I reference that regularly (he’s still an active gamer).
And, holy smokes, the DM is Dan Harmon?!
“Magic missile” guy sounds like CPRM.
My father assured me that AC/DC secretly meant ANTI-CHRIST/DEVIL’S CHILD and I was just one roll of a twelve sided die on a D&D board away from being possessed and turning into Richard Ramirez.
Shocking that he thinks you’d be looking for power like that.
…And here you are. Your picture doesn’t look much like Richard Ramirez though.
He turned away from the darkness and ended up contributing to a certified family-friendly website.
I was told that AC/DC meant ‘All Children/Denounce Christ’ before one of the record burning orgies.
I also seem to remember that Angus was asked in an interview once upon a time what AC/DC meant, and he responded “Power.” I really hope that memory is true, and not wishful thinking.
Not slang for bi?
The story they tell is in the early days of the band they were sitting around in one of their mother’s homes, and one of the band members noticed the AC/DC symbol on the motor spec tag on Mom’s sewing machine.
Sister’s sewing machine. If you ate watermelon you’d remember important shit like this.
Read to the end.
I did and my brains started to leak out. Commies are embarrassing.
Those goats should be proud to be part of something as delicious as cabrito.
Minnesoda did this way back when.
How was the party?
Well that is completely missing the point.
The responses are embarrassing. People don’t read.

Or maybe say it like Inspector Clouseau, since my phone always corrects it to minkey.
Inspector Clouseau ids always appropriate, for either diction or lifestyle advice. I just wish I was as smooth as he was at picking up wimminz.
You may be a stupid ape, but I’m a smart ape.
You’re all a bunch of damn, dirty apes!
Or maybe they actually believe it’s morally better to allow a million people to die rather than save them by uttering a racial slur.

I was watching something the other night (that NAPCAR exhibition, probably) and they kept running ads for the Grammys. I got tired of saying, “Who? Who the fuck are any of those people?” so I stopped.
Super Bowl halftime show, anyone?
It’s been years since I recognized the performers.
Dr. Dre, Eminem, and Snoop were just last year, all of them over 50 years old.
Didn’t watch last year.
Well sure, I guess you can’t recognize anyone if you don’t watch.

Just days after receiving her covid booster jab, the daughter of the king of Thailand collapsed and fell into a coma.
Princess Bajrakitiyabha, who is the potential heir to the Thai throne, is in a grave condition weeks after she collapsed.
Some reports suggest she had suffered a heart attack though her family were told she likely suffered a bacterial infection. None the less, six weeks later and the princess is still in a coma and being kept alive by machines.
The Royal Family have now been alerted to the fact that the princess has most likely been a victim of the jab.
One shot in Bangkok makes a princess tumble…

The multiple balloons could be and attempt by the Chinese to get us used to them launching them across the US. It would dilute our paranoia if the contents of the recovered balloon are actually weather related.
Eventually they start randomly sending 1 or two a year to various places. Finally after they have become commonplace they send a few with EMPs, Nukes, bioweapons, etc. A first strike delivery system.
Also way less expensive than satellites.
Totally. We should do the same and see how China responds. It’s no big deal after all. We’re just trying to save Gaia.

“Alec Baldwin asks court to DISQUALIFY special prosecutor assigned to his involuntary manslaughter case because she is a Republican lawmaker and her position is ‘unconstitutional’
Andrea Reeb kicked off the prosecution sensationally last month, and flatly declared that if not for the actions of Baldwin and others on set ‘Hutchins would be alive today.’
But the Hollywood star, who faces up to five years in jail if convicted, has now said the appointment of Reeb as special prosecutor is ‘unconstitutional’ because she also serves in the New Mexico House of Representatives.”

Bold move, Cotton.
He’s hoping to get one of those liberal judges who are in love with the second amendment.
He’s not wrong. Public employees should be barred from holding any elective office at the same time.
Yes, so knowing that why did she proceed as prosecutor? Shouldn’t she have stood down?
Eh…My government teacher in high school was also a state representative.
Champion steer sells for $440,000 at Texas show
Gotta admit, four hundred large is a really nice ROI for a high school 4-H project.
And without trying to geld the lily, why does anyone pay six figures for a steer? You’re not breeding it, and the steaks can’t be any better than your average wagyu. What’s the point?
Hunter Biden’s bull shit?
Does 4 H get a part of it?
Charitable purchase?
Something like this happened right down the road at my county fair. A kid’s mom was placed in hospice, and to support the family a bunch of individuals and businesses pooled their resources and bought a pig for $102k.
https://www.agdaily.com/livestock/porter-county-fair-sells-102000-hog-to-support-local-family/
Hopefully the auction pitched in on the fee.
That is some kind of pork roll.
Saw on Youtube a few years ago, this kid was hoping to buy his late father’s old patrol car (killed on duty). Bidding went way past what he could afford. Winning bidder got the keys, walked over to the kid and gave him the car.
I’m sure the plan is to jerk that steer off a million times or so and sell that bull cum to lesbian cow couples who are looking for a champion calf.
*Seriously, I’m sure the price is high because they think they can sell his Moo Juice for a lot.
How can there be any juice if the steer has no fruit?
Uffda. I thought a steer was just a synonym for bull. My bad.
Maybe you have to suck him off instead of just a handjob to get that deep down seed?
Let us know how that goes.
He’s a steer, he has no Moo Juice.
Sounds like an interesting, if flawed business plan that would result in some really testy clients.
I’d be happy to discuss it over a nice plate of Rocky Mountain oysters sometime.
“Wacky NFL star Aaron Rodgers reveals he is going on a DARKNESS RETREAT to mull over his future… and will spend four days alone in complete silence, with his food delivered through a hole”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/nfl/article-11724157/Wacky-NFL-star-Aaron-Rodgers-reveals-going-DARKNESS-RETREAT-mull-future.html
Which hole?
I love his Cage Fighter shirt.
If you can’t make an important decision without resorting to pretentious bullshit like this you’re washed up anyway. I wonder what he’s paying for the honor, whatever it is I’ll lock him in my closet for a week for half that.
It’s $60M for one more year. I’m not buying he is that tortured over it.
And Brady is so tortured he needs a year off before accepting $350M from whichever network.
Maybe he’ll use the time to develop some charisma.
I think retirement will not be kind to Brady. Without football who gives a shit about him?
My fear is he is gonna do something bad/stupid when he becomes just another ex-jock. He needs that adulation.
I agree with the first part, but not the second.
I don’t think he cares about the adulation too much – he cares about competing and _winning_.
He’s going to be like Jordan, just absolutely restless because he can no longer do the one thing that totally consumed his life since he was a kid.
http://www.espn.com/espn/feature/story?_slug_=michael-jordan-not-left-building&page=Michael-Jordan&redirected=true
That said, he appears to legitimately be a loving dad – maybe he’ll just become a bananas helicopter parent.
Adulation is probably the wrong word. You are right that he is hyper competitive. Without football, what is he going to do to compete?
Without him competing for something, will the rest of us care what he is up to.
I hope he doesn’t do anything bad/crazy, but I always worry about those guys.
will the rest of us care what he is up to.
that’s the only bit I disagree with – he does not care what we think. He does care what his peers think, I suspect, but that’s not what drives him. Winning drives him.
That Jordan article is long, but great – a good profile of a lion in winter.
And when he’s done, he can finally come out of the closet.
If you gonna do it, may as well outdo Brady’s shenanigans.
The DM is censoring crap?
I’m disappointed they did not include a photo of the darkness in the article.
Here you go
Bahahahaha!
He could get that done in just 12 hours if he wanted to.
The guy who started this talked about how when he was crossing Antarctica on foot he’d have to walk 12 hours a day and the boredom/monotony made his mind go in all sorts of weird places. Now he challenges people to try it for themselves. Just walk for 12 hours one day. No music, podcasts, etc.

It was frightening to see so many Packer fans turn in a dime against him when it was revealed he committed coronavirus thoughtcrime.
Rodgers has been disliked by the Packer Backers for a long time. Even when he was winning they only begrudgingly liked him.
I don’t think that many fans turned on him for that. They already disliked him. I think it was the NFL and the media who really changed and allowed him to be criticized in public that was the change.
* I can’t tell you how many local Packer Backers I know who are convinced that Rodgers and Ted Thompson were gay for each other and that is why they got rid of Favre.
The Royal Family have now been alerted to the fact that the princess has most likely been a victim of the jab.

The proggies have been touting that they were going to pass the CROWN act (Creating a Respectful and Open World for Natural hair), a law that would make it impossible to fire or not hire anyone because of the way their hair looked. So brave, so good for black women!
But before they could pass it, a bunch of shitlords tried to jam an amendment in that would include beards!
I assume it’s a case to nuke it unless very well written with industry input.
Certain professions with PPE are going to require buy in and carve out. And here is looking at the fire unions…
If they can get a good seal on their mask and the helmet stays on, no problem…
I think someone actually did make a functional gas mask one can have a beard.
That would be great if it had a yard-long rubber pocket for a ZZ Top beard.
I’m waiting for the first story of some black gal who used to have a big natural afro suing her employer for letting her work on a drill press without binding her hair first.
Lawyer: What did you say to your employer just before your hair was caught in the drill press and your scalp was ripped off?
Lady: I told that dumb ass cracker that he was being racist and that I’d wear my hair however I wanted and if he didn’t shut up, I’d sue him because the law says I can have my hair however I want!
Where is the carve out for pissed off people with long beards?
Sikhs, too.
Sikhs are properly equipped to make their own carve out.

Legacy auto makers can’t make over the air updates work.
https://www.theverge.com/2023/2/7/23589260/vw-id4-recall-battery-software-problems
It amazes me how slow the uptake and success rate is on this.
OTA updates are notoriously hard.
If something goes wrong, you are going to brick the remote device and then things get real bad. So you have to do everything you can to ensure that nothing will go bad during the update process. And you also have to contend with different flavors of hardware that are out there. Did you test the update with every board that went into those cars?
I’m not surprised at all by that story. In my old life developing IoT stuff, I hated it when there was an update to be pushed out. Too many times the updates went sideways because of some incompatibility that the testers in the lab never saw coming.
I totally get that and don’t downplay it.
OTH, in this new world of “recalling” cars because of the tiniest possibility injury or emissions violations it is quickly becoming table stakes.
Naturally, Tesla tried to skirt the law here and issue OTAs for safety issues it found and NHTSA freaked that it wasn’t issuing “recalls” with them. As a result Tesla now carpet bombs them with “recalls” for the most trivial of issues especially after it has already pushed the fix.
People are acting as beta testers on $100K cars.
$92,500 after tax credit.
Uffda. I am against the death penalty because I don’t think the govt can apply it correctly, but sometimes I think I might be ok with some executions.
Minnesota Nice indeed.
I have to admit, my opposition is wavering. What’s the point of prison for these useless meat sacks?
My opposition isn’t moral. I have no reservations about killing these two assholes. My opposition is that I think the govt is too inept to be trusted with the ultimate power to kill someone. They’d get this case right, but some other poor fucker would get railroaded and killed.
The West Memphis 3 is the case that haunts me. I was living in Memphis when this happened and I was 100% sure that they had caught the perps. Boy was that a lie. The documentary Paradise Lost is good (and depressing).
Fells Acres is the case for me that underscores the government just
can not be trusted with life and death. They can’t even get basic guilt and innocence right.
I know. But what the hell do we do with the animals? I mean, the revolving door at the jail is sick. Every fucking day CrimeWatch has a story about someone being killed/robbed/raped by some piece of shit who should have been in prison.
Pretty much this, a not nice hellhole prison for the rest of their lives would work for me but death for ironclad cases like this leads to death for far more ambiguous cases and inevitably for innocents.
Yeah, I think most of us would agree there are people who need killin’. But all of us know government is capable -at any level- of fucking things up even when what happened is obvious.
Aye. Very much this.

This is why, in spite of it being in Minnesoda, Honey Harvest is the superior Glibs meetup. Next year I’m bringing my dog and some watermelon.
Lol. Nice.
I really hope I can swing a trip back this year.
This is sad. For Texas, what is your food preference? There is a nice deli right next to your hotel or we can drive a little for just about anything else. I will be there, and so will Trashy, per our last communication. Need to get Urthona’s info to contact him.
Burger and a beer works for me. Looking forward to seeing you.
I met up with R.J., Trashy, and Urthona in Dallas last July. They are good company.
Cool. I will propose a different eatery.
