Commonly seen sight at work
The Giant Work From Hell assignment is culminating. If you don’t hear from me, in the next 3 weeks, I am probably scoping out rooftops and bell towers…IYKWIMAITYD.
But that won’t stop the links, nosiree!
- I, for one, am laughing.
- *squints suspiciously*
- I almost narrowed my gaze on this headline.
- As-tu entendu quelque chose?
Music. My all time favorite piece…done just a bit differently.
Comments are all yours.
When is daylight savings time? I could use a long weekend.
Oh, hey, it’s this coming weekend.
Time to autumn back?
I’m looking forward to the coming months solely because I’m taking Turkey Week to make a quick jaunt back to CA and then back here (protip: Don’t be paranoid and turn off your gas water heater without draining it. This is SDF. Don’t be a moron like SDF…) Then in December because GA doesn’t roll over vacation like CA does (difference in viewing it as earned income / benefit), I’m taking most of the month off. I really, really hope to avoid needing to go much of anywhere or do much of anything that month… I think I need an actual break for a while.
DST is a drop in the gorram bucket in comparison, UCS. Sorry.
Look, I was cracking a joke. I’m below my “reserve” level of leave which I try to hold for emergencies. There were emergencies earlier this year that necessitated using some.
No one here is allowed to crack jokes. We are a very serious lot that never ever engages in such trivialities… much less a pun thread.
Especially around Swiss.
Nope…. not at all.
That’s assuming you survive Halloween.
😱🍬👻
:: plays creepy piano music ::
Halloween isn’t as scary as the following Tuesday.
::lobs an easy one over the net:: Organs are creepier.
Look, Pretend Voting Day is a floating Holiday for me.
I just hope my kid’s candy has all those drugs they keep telling me about.
GT you can’t just talk about playing pipe organs around here.
“Organs are creepier.”
That’s what she said.
Will Trump allow a return to Standard Time?
“We’ll have the best time… like no time anyone’s ever had before. You’re not going to know what to do with all your time, except you’ll be winning with it. Making so much money… did you know, people are making more money than ever with my policies?”
Where were the other 33?
All the superheroes and Captain Kirks already took them down.
They went pop?
That was more than the Baltics, EvilSheldon — it was the world…
They went somewhere.
So, 99 problems? But the bitch ain’t one?
Sounds like a lot of hot air to me.
I have it on good authority that their intentions were Noble gas.
Nobody wanted to be luft out.
It’s being blown out of proportion.
Why is Mamdani outraged that his aunt was afraid to be out in public in her hijab in NYC immediately after 9/11? Can he explain what might happen if,say, radical Christians hijacked a plane and crashed it into a Mecca holy site? What does he think the reaction would then be to someone strolling in public with a large gold cross necklace?
Well, since he was lying through his f’ing teeth apparently, I dare say he was simply performing.
OMG that’s fantastic.
He is so bad at this and yet it doesn’t even matter. The clapping seals want their free shit.
“I didn’t mean my real aunt. I meant some lady down the street. Well, not my street exactly. But some lady somewhere.”
Nothing but commonplace islamic supremacy attitudes.
He is disgusting
He’s a liar pants.
My first thought was, “Okay, so we know she wasn’t actually attacked or assaulted or harassed in any way, because if she had been he would have led with that.”
Now that it turns out his aunt wasn’t even in the country at the time, I agree with others who have said he’s going to pivot to “well, not a literal aunt, but an older female friend of the family who I consider an aunt,” followed by lots of lecturing about how those evil nasty racist white people are cold and unfeeling for not considering close family friends to be members of their family, unlike all the warm welcoming good brown people who understand the importance of family and how it goes beyond mere blood ties and blah blah blah white people bad.
He’s already claiming it was a dead cousin.
He is sooooo bad at this…. SMDH.
Dead cousin? See! The Islamophobia got her!
Nah, she was probably stoned for not wearing the Hijab and dating someone who wasn’t a cousin.
He’s going to win, and by a pretty decent margin.
Sure, he’s bad at “normal” politics of 30 years ago, but he’s very good at the Obama-style game of promising free shit to the economically illiterate, dismissing all criticism as racist, and getting the AWFLs to savour their own anti-racist farts.
Man overboard
Dickerson’s departure comes in the wake of a slew of changes at CBS, including the appointment of controversial journalist Bari Weiss as the network’s new top editor.
Weiss was installed by new Paramount boss David Ellison, the son of Trump ally Larry Ellison and one of the richest people in the world.
Paramount earlier this year merged with entertainment giant Skydance and has pledged to retool CBS’s editorial strategy to represent a more “diverse” set of viewpoints.
Pure coincidence. He just wants to spend more time with his tribe.
The balloons are believed to be a tool of smugglers, which bring contraband cigarettes into the country.
Contraband cigarettes. These euphemisms.
More demographic doomporn from NPR
Researchers say Finnish people are increasingly delaying having children, or not having them at all. The nation’s “total fertility rate” — a technical term used by demographers — has fallen to historic lows in recent years. Although there have been some signs of a possible rebound in recent months, the number remains less than 1.3 children per woman — well below the replacement level of 2.1 needed to maintain a steady population.
That’s despite the Nordic region’s reputation for providing paid time off for both mothers and fathers, along with childcare and other support</strong. As families around the world are having fewer children, even Europe is seeing a major drop in birth rates despite those generous, publicly funded benefits.
That sound you hear is me hitting myself on the head with a giant cartoon mallet.
So… NPR is saying they’re Finnished as a nation? ::blows kiss to Swissy::
Why do I get the feeling that a lot of NPR writers can’t keep from touching themselves while watching Children of Men?
Well the nordic nations were running ads that procreating with your own is incest
“despite”
LOL
Cantons Vaud (5.4), Basel City , Basel Country, Jura (4.1), Neuchâtel (3.6) – all border cantons – and Solothurn are also more affected than average.
So what you’re saying is, is you can’t trust the French? #cnq
You can’t trust the Algerians.
I believe the kids call this “FAFO”.
I love how every arrest is a “kidnapping” now.
Civil disobedience in the 60s. Getting arrested was the expected outcome. It was a badge of honor.
Civil disobedience in 2025. OMG! They kidnapped a guy! This is outlandish!
See the morning thread — I seriously think the Summer O Love convinced all these twits that they could do anything they want and the police would never take action.
These people are too ignorant to understand what they are doing and what the consequences will be.
It’s like watching a 4 year old stick a fork into an electrical socket.
Yeah, and it’s fucking retarded.
Kidnapped, or “disappeared”, which is scarier but even more dishonest.
Births have fallen across the region, with Finland’s falling to the lowest rate among the five nations — down by a third since 2010.
“What is puzzling researchers, is how this could be true, because all of these countries are relatively good in providing support to families,” Miettinen said, “but there aren’t really very good explanations for the very low fertility rates at present.”
Fire up the rape camps.
Is that puzzling? Shithole socialist policies lead to shithole outcomes? I’m not puzzled.
It is a mystery. 🙄
JFC I wonder what being a retarded “researcher” pays. Because if I could make, say, half my present salary being that stupid it might be worth while.
When I was living in Germany there was a school trip to Paris. I was mugged near the Eiffel Tower and when I got back to the tour bus that evening, boy did I get an earful about the French from all the Germans. No love lost there.
Did they get your video camera?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYekAmN2AAg
No, but he got my Disc camera. 🙂
Right after that he tried to take me home. I declined.
I would have been disappointed by any other link, TOK.
For Poa Pohjola and Wilhelm Blomberg, the couple with the new baby, there are fears about the future. Pohjola remembers Finland’s financial crisis in the early 1990s, and worries about economic stability.
Blomberg says he thinks about climate change and rising authoritarianism around the world.
There it is. The End is Nigh. You can’t bring a child into a doomed world.
I was 50/50 on whether it would be climate change or microplastics.
I would tell these people to go out and touch grass, but I don’t know that there’s a lot of grass in Finland to be touched. Touch lichen?
Maybe it will be safe to procreate when Orange Hitler is no longer with us.
Orange Hitler is just a lightning rod. After he’s gone, they’ll go right back to fretting about sea levels and coral reef bleaching and seagulls with oil on their feathers and unsightly mining operations and pipelines on sacred lands and telescopes on sacred mountains and whales and overpopulation and every other thing for which the only viable solution is taking your freedom and giving it to totalitarians.
“Pohjola remembers Finland’s financial crisis in the early 1990s”
“he thinks about climate change and rising authoritarianism around the world”
Not even a hint of awareness.
Justice
Ten people accused of sexist cyber-bullying of the French president’s wife, Brigitte Macron, are due to go on trial this week in Paris.
The defendants are accused of spreading unsubstantiated claims over her gender and sexuality, as well as making “malicious remarks” about the 24-year age gap between Brigitte and her husband, Emmanuel Macron.
If found guilty, the defendants face up to two years’ imprisonment.
Just don’t call her a husband beater.
Did she beat her husband with her enormous wang?
And if so, is there video? Could you post a link?
something something liberté, égalité, …
Normally people get upset when older men pursue teenagers. Maybe its not a big thing in France.
I feel the need to post this song

At least the French have time to indulge this nonsense because they don’t have the grave threat of someone demolishing Versailles in order to put up a tacky buffet restaurant.
NYCs hope could be its council is opposite of the Socialist….lol, ya right. Anyone making any money above a $1 should leave the city
There’s also the outside chance Kathy invokes the Governor’s authority to remove the NYC Mayor unilaterally. (Yes, the NY Gov has that power).
Or that someone other than Kathy wins the governorship and boots him out.
The city council has been batshit for decades. The Zohran is going to sign every radical fantasy they come up with. Keep in mind the goal is to tear everything down – they might actually achieve it this time.
Am I a bad man for imagining this?

Last time I drove across the GW bridge on my way home, I yelled out the window “So long, stink town!”
You’re not gonna believe this, but apparently Gavin Newsom is thinking about running for President.
Why would he bother if there’s not going to be an election?
The Hell you say!
A very special episode of Mammary Monday…

Gran Canaria had “gone down hill” after witnessing the “seedy sex shops” and “gimp” clubs.
Paging SugarFree…
Kidnapped, or “disappeared”, which is scarier but even more dishonest.
I have seen stories about people being disappeared and held incommunicado for HOURS before being booked and released. It’s like the Spanish Inquisition out there.
Sometimes they will even hold you for ransom.
They were talking about January 6, 2021, right?
The ballon finally went up, huh?
part of a gender reveal?

creepy piano music
::lobs an easy one over the net:: Organs are creepier.
I know Liberace was a great piano player. But I heard he really sucked on the organ.
Well, we’re down to a 5-game World Series, for all intensive porpoises. Glasnow v Scherzer should be good. Still going for the Jays but prefer a Game 7. With the Jays winning.
““Earlier this morning, ICE agents abducted British Muslim journalist and political commentator Sami Hamdi at San Francisco Airport, apparently in response to his vocal criticism of the Israeli government during his ongoing speaking tour,” the group said in a Sunday social media post.”
Australia did it to Candace Owens. Or denied her entry where “the court ruled that she failed the country’s “character test,” citing concerns that her visit could “incite discord” among communities.” Whoops? They thought they’d forever cemented their authority. Whoopsie -doodle.
