That’s what I’m talking about.
Winding down my last weekend in the Gulch, it’s about time to close up and head west to Manly Time. Above is my final visit to the Giant Dipper. I need to hit the gym something fierce…
Links?
Night vision goggles? Tweakers. Makes it easier to steal copper.
Which means Special Forces is already there.
Yeah, I’m thinking the UK is a little late on this.
Yep. My shocked face is still broken.
As I said, the UK is a little late.
Okay, that’s good for me. Preseason football is in full swing, and it’s better than no football. Peace out, Glibbies.
This is my favorite non hit of Blues Traveler. I think I’ve linked it before, but it deserves a repeat. Turn the volume to eleventy.

There’s injections, and then there’s injections.
Is there any clearer proof that the left is all about stirring up chaos as opposed to “helping” anyone?
Proper response to someone claiming they’d fuck your old lady is to tell them take a number.
Ross claims he’s a moderate, but routinely pushes race-based and gender-based initiatives and has promoted LGBT “pride.”
Being a moderate liberal means you hate the right people.
Mayor Vandergriff is rolling in his grave.
I truly hate people outside of Iowa spending money to influence Iowa elections. But I am sorely tempted to send money.

Lord knows I miss my Mom. But Im glad I dont have to have this awkward talk.
Family Struggling To Answer Grandma’s Question About Why Everyone Is Talking About The WNBA
Believe me, Grandma knows. She may wonder why anyone would waste a perfectly good dildo though.
Silly me. I thought the point of these safe injection sites was to at least keep that crap off the streets.
No, the point is to demoralize the normies.
Did someone say Womp Womp?
A divided federal appeals court panel has thrown out U.S. District Judge James Boasberg’s bid to pursue criminal contempt for Trump administration officials he says defied his orders in March by sending 130 Venezuelan men to a prison in El Salvador.
“We strongly disagree with the ruling and are considering all options going forward,” ACLU Attorney Lee Gelernt said. “The opinion brushes aside the considerable evidence that has emerged that DOJ’s lawyers understood the order at the time and simply ignored it.”
I (and I don’t think I’m alone among Glibs) would be fine with the administration ignoring rogue judges. But I’m happy that they’re going about things properly and swatting nuisance suits aside and having appeals courts — or SCOTUS — put said rogues in their place.
Sanctions on the attorneys pushing it.
Perhaps you will join us ~9:30-10pm? I will be having at least one Aviation, since I’m lousy with Creme de Violette (one bottle courtesy of Neph hisself!)

If you show up, I’ll bust out the good crystal (not meth)
It’s been a day. A week. A month.
I’m having pina coladas and am planning on being drunk.
I do this about once every other year.
Honestly curious, what is the appeal of being drunk?
I’ve never imbibed enough to lose sobriety, largely because I can’t think of a reason why I’d want to, and having seen the behavior of intoxicated people, I’m convinced I’d recall and regret every little thing. (the idea of blackout drunk is even worse).
I’m just trying to understand a different perspective to my own “don’t lose control” mindset.
🎶 Or even a year? 🎶
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I find more appeal in being buzzed. Still in full control of my faculties but temporarily less bothered by all of life’s bullshit.
Unciv. ‘Drunk’ more like a little loose. Bout four shots total. I’m 245 but a lightweight. Get a hangover for days if I actually get drunk.
The appeal tonight. Feeling like crap. Buddy of mine died last week. Coming up on a shitty anniversary, major customer is likely going to fire me.
Bit burnt out
Rhy said it better than I did.
I see.
Sorry about everything going wrong. I have no good advice there.
When I hear ‘Drunk’ I always see staggering, semi-coherent, uninhibited, and lucky if you make it to an appropriate spot to sleep it off kinda drunk. I guess that’s why there’s “buzzed”, “tipsy”, etc
Unciv, I’ve been that drunk once.
Don’t pound a fifth of vodka because you can.
lol It took many repetitions of that to learn I don’t want that anymore.
The finest crystal was broughten
Is there any clearer proof that the left is all about stirring up chaos as opposed to “helping” anyone?
They want to cure the world of bourgeois prudery and antiquated ethics.
They love to be frightened of “Right Wing Authoritarianism” so they want to create some. The best way to get the right to turn authoritarian is this crap. The problem is they envision a bunch of Archie Bunkers saying hurtful stuff that drive the center to the left, and what they are likely to get is Argentine or El Salvadoran style death squads.
Was that cone from The Big Dipper?
Affirm. I worked my way through a good chunk of the list this trip.
Haven’t been disappointed there once.
Wait, Azerbaijan and Armenia were at war? Which flag am I supposed to have on my twitter handle?
They have been fighting over Nagorno Karabakh, which is inside Azerbaijan’s border but was inhabited by Armenian Christians, and had been quasi autonomous going back to the USSR, until last year when the Azerbaijanis invaded (for the third or fourth time), slaughtered a bunch and drove more or less all the rest out as refugees. I guess it solved the problem of the populace refusing to be Azerbaijani when it all was driven out.
But which hashtag should I use, #IStandWithAzerbaijan or #IStandWithArmenia?

Your funny point actually hits on something I’ve been dwelling on with all this Ukraine-Russia and Israel-Palestine stuff going on:
Nobody seems to have a universal principle of what “should” be a nation-state and what the exact borders should be. Most people have a strong opinion on those two I’ve mentioned, and they might have reasons, but they’re unwilling to apply those reasons universally. They have opinions on the hottest national border conflicts of the day, but they are unaware or uninterested in any of the similar disputes going on at any given moment:
Should Flanders be separate from Belgium?
Should Catalonia be separate from Spain?
Should Western Sahara be separate from Morocco?
Should Brittany be separate from France?
Most people don’t even ponder whether nation-states are the best way of delineating human societies. I’m probably being too autistic about this, or maybe others are not being autistic enough.
Should California be expelled from the Union?
I have long been a fan of burbclaves.
Yes please, with some kind of trencher tool that can penetrate the continental plate, then push it away with auto jacks wedged into the trench every 10 feet and cranked in tandem. And I say that as someone who was born in California.
Yes. Keep the French speakers away from the Felmish.
Only if they eject the Moors.
Yes.
Only if it joins Cornwall in a Brythonic Kingdom.
No, but it should lose it’s special statuses and overrepresentation.
@Akira – The problem with that plan is that the Pacific plate would just carry it back to the mainland. Or rather, the expanding Atlantic would push us over the Pacific plate until we reached California again.
#FreeSchleswig-Holstein!
It’s ok if California comes back to the mainland as long as the waves when it is pushed away and returns wash it clean.

“Several boxes of Labubu dolls were stolen, valued at approximately seven thousand dollars,” the sheriff’s department said in a statement.
The burglars were using a stolen Toyota Tacoma that was recovered shortly after the burglary, the sheriff’s office said.
One Stop Sales posted in-store security video on Instagram that shows a group of masked men enter the store as the sound of breaking glass is heard. The men can be seen in the video taking boxes of merchandise from the store.
The new Beanie Babies?
I’d pretend to be surprised by yet another example of ‘collectibles’ with no use, artistic, intrinsic, or other remotely logical source of value becoming a craze, but after the NFT thing nothing material can win the peak idiocy award.
There’s a channel on YouTube called “Levi Hildebrand” (formerly “Future Proof”, but apparently there was a lawsuit over that and he had to change).
He’s a Lefty for sure and often blames things on capitalism, but he has interesting expositions on how companies pump up interest in some hot new thing… Implying some collector value, artifically limited supply, and tie-ins with top “influencers” (that god-forsaken breed).
Dubai chocolate, Labubu dolls, Stanley tumblers, Crocs… They’ve all been creations (or at least bastardized) by this hokum.

Hyperbole mentioned to message him at “whatarewereading25@proton.me.”
I presume that “.me” leads to @proton.hyperbole.”
I’ve been wrong before, and I’ll be wrong again. Confirm/deny? Non-confirming denial? Non-denial denial?
.me is part of the domain name.
I get strange looks every time I give out my email. I really wish they were just dot-com like everybody else.
Montenegro needs the money more than the US.
When I started using email almost all of them were .edu lol.
The least reliable of my email addresses is my rit.edu one. They keep wanting to shut it off, even though I am still an alumnus and can’t stop being one.
*Suddenly looks at DEG with solemn face*
Of course. I knew that.
@Rhy: I also knew that.
@UCS: See, Montenegro needs more money than the US, and I need it more than both of ’em! Give it to me. But you all knew that. It’s fun being correct all the time.
It’s not so much that I have a need to be correct, it’s that I enjoy sharing this neat piece of information I know. I should have grown out of that decades ago, but I guess I’ve retained some of my childlike traits.
The least reliable of my email addresses is my rit.edu one.
They were all pretty unreliable back in the 80s lol, and a hassle to access.
I can imagine. Thankfully, I was spared that hassle, being too young to need an email address during the 80s.
@UCS: That comment was me making fun of me, not a comment upon your acumen.
#@AOL.com
I get strange looks every time I give out my email.
I’m not surprised rhywun@onlyfans.com gets you strange looks.
Use the email he posted. Protonmail has multiple options for each account, including:

@proton.me
“protonmail-dot-com”
Really? I had no idea. They certainly don’t advertise that one.
“Montenegro”
lol Also no idea.
ISTR they also have “pm.me” which I have never used.
Your Chicago Cubs are finally hitting. We’re stomping St. Louis 6-0 and we’re only in the top-8th, and the Cards are pulling their starter.
Inning and 2/3rds. That’s a rough day at the office. Well. I think it’s splendid.
Though semi-raised Catholic, I’ve never been religious, but I certainly understand the universal importance of it in human history and culture. I find it predictable that many resent sports the same way they do to religion, despite it being integral to all human societies. (See also: Music, visual art, poetry. Human constants, all.) Most of the anti-all is rooted in ‘They’re better than me and no fair!’ but it all stems from an anti-humanity. Which really is just ‘anti-MY competition.’
I can accept being religious, or being a sports fan, but I cannot accept any human who raises politics to the level of sports let alone religion.
Hmm, I dunno, politicians as game… I could get behind this idea
Journalists on the other hand should be tagged as vermin. No limit no license.
*top 2nd inning. (How that ‘typo’ happened, me no know.) We’ve since improved to 8-0 in the 4th.
Politics has merely replaced religion. It’s still the same framework, merely displacing the ‘omniscience.’
The two have been intertwined as far back as we have records.
They’ve always been inherently connected, yes. But the Western ‘abandonment’ of ‘religion’ is another contemporary example of the (formerly prevailing) Church to be usurped. The Modern Church happily sells its Communion against its Carbon Footprint sins, and folk are happy to not know the difference.
I especially love the ignorant self-flagellation. We only have ‘accurate’ climate info since ~’79 and purposeful satellites. And even if the West followed Net Zero it would mean nothing because of China, SE Asia, Africa, and 70% of Earth’s population happening to enjoy cheap energy to escape poverty!
And an inconvenient truth about the Inconvenient Truth is all its predictions have been shown to be bullshit. The religion goes on! I know I’m not saying anything new, and I’ll reiterate the tediousness of it all.
The human drive for ‘understanding’ is inspirational. We are keen on cheap tricks. (And not that band. More Primus. For many reasons.)
Ain’t my Cubs. But they aren’t at Broncos or Yankees level… yet.
Omg.
NYC office blindsides workers by forcing facial recognition scans without warning
Like three paragraphs down:
Followed by more histrionics.
Forcing in this case meaning offering as a purely voluntary choice that enables you to skip a 10 second task? Those tyrants!
If I had to go back to a door code after being used to a card swipe, I’d be pissed too. My office still has a keypad onn the door but I can card in now instead of having to remember yet another password/passcode.
No, I don’t want to use my face. It’s grotesque, as is the use of biometrics.
The grotesquerie of your visage aside, your facial scan is kind of the ultimate in “this thing people are up in arms about as an invasion of privacy is in no possible meaning of the word private” It is quite literally as exposed to the world as the nose on your face lol.
Why are you sick voyeurs looking at people?!
Sexual gratification mostly I would presume.
“The grotesquerie of your visage aside…”
You use your tongue prettier than a $20 whore.
Biometrics: https://youtu.be/q7R_FF5O1d4
Rufus isnt here so I’ll ask the obvious- why aren’t you working ?
Because the facial recognition software told me I was too ugly to come in.
You too?
I should ask you- Goldstar or Skyline ?
Skyline, but I only really crave it when I am hung over lol, and I barely drink anymore.
Likewise with White Castle for me.
Or Waffle House.
The AI running the access program has declared me not human.
The obvious Photoshop being pitched as “the lobby of Isaac Morris Ltd.’s Midtown headquarters” is a nice touch. Never change, The New York Post.
