I realize I might be the one of the few here affected by this. I’ve had something of a change of heart recently being that my wife is currently not drawing a paycheck in spite of being fully employed by the feds for 30 days.
This is my review of Bone Haus Brewing Englman’s Prickly Pear Ale:
The change of heart? I am no longer storing the one loaded gun in the house in a biometric safe. My kids are old enough and responsible enough to know their way around firearms. It’ll be ready when I need it.
At any rate, today is the first day EBT/SNAP recipients will be directly affected by part of the government shutting down. Not to say there aren’t others (TW: The Crown News), but this group among the ones already affected is also the most likely to riot. Nobody expects anyone from the IRS to start looting, at least not without reporting the retail value of the TV they stole as income.
Here’s a few excerpts from the new TwiX called EBTofTikTok (TW: Bad English):
None of the above, I’m employed.
Kudos for bringing back “Going Apeshit” as a turn of phrase.
Fun fact: pet food is made to USDA standards because…well…people might eat it.
I fine this one funny because the Kroger I go to has a developmentally disabled gentleman working the self checks. The thing is he does his job exceptionally well. When it tells him to review what I scanned, he actually goes and reviews what I scanned. A “smarter” worker would just scan their code and call it a day. Poor guy will get his ass kicked.
HAWT
Prickly Pear is that one cactus that looks like a bunch of green ovals stacked vertically upon each other. Now these actually bear fruit once a year, and recently made something more than a commercial novelty. Ever actually eat one of these? Its not particularly sweet. It sort of tastes like faint bubblegum, but with a texture thats a more fibrous version of watermelon. About the only real thing you can do with it is make it into a cocktail or impress your friends at a social event. Does this work in a beer? I was expecting just another IPA and I was surprised to find out it was a sour, so for me no it doesn’t really work. It is pretty manageable for those that aren’t into sour ales however so I might be so bold as to bring this to a social event as a conversation piece.

They all want cactus?
Now I might have to go play New Vegas again, dangnabbit.
“Fun fact: pet food is made to USDA standards because…well…people might eat it.”
I knew a guy who ate dog biscuits.
My grandmother came to visit us once when I was about ten. Her and her husband brought their motorhome and camped out in the driveway for a week or so. She had her little dog, Mansea, he was originally named Seaman after Lewis and Clark’s dog but it got changed around for obvious reasons.
Anyway she had this big glass jar of oatmeal cookies on the counter so I helped myself to one. Did she make cookies for her grandkids? Nope. Homemade dog treats and they were awful.
We used to get these dog treats that were basically “dog oreos”. One time my wife’s sister was staying with us, and my wife as a prank left the package sitting on the counter, knowing that her sister would see them and think “ooh, cookies” and help herself without looking too closely at the package. Sure enough, the next day her sister says “what’s up with those cookies, those are awful!”
When I was a kid we grabbed a handful of Purina dog chow on more than one occasion.
I like the commercials for the guy who is getting his cat human-grade cat food because he is concerned about the quality of kibble.
This is an animal that will lick it’s own ass and carry dead rodents around in its mouth.
Should we let gingers carry guns?
Are YOU going to try to stop her?
Might be for her own good. If she shoots someone over a shopping cart she’s going to jail.
No one’s getting my steaks.
Nope… I’d probably be cheering her on. Theft just because you feel entitled is not something I particularly condone.
Cart has wheels, in Idaho it’s legal for you to shoot someone for stealing your horse. The modern equivalent is your car, a good lawyer would argue that some a shopping cart has four wheels and can easily cost as much as a horse does it’s a legit shooting.
Jail seems harsh for providing a public service, I say buy her next weeks groceries, give her a nice framed certificate, and send her on her way.
At least give her a few coupons for her next visit.
“Ever actually eat one of these?”
Yes, but tuna is like pomegranate or coconut. It’s not worth the effort when you can just buy the juice.
What?
I’m stumped too. I’m picturing CT slurping up tuna oil from the can. That can’t be right, can it?
No, silly. He puts tuna in a juicer.

Particularly in that context.
Self-checkout girl shouldn’t have much difficulty supplementing her income, if you know what I mean.
I don’t. I think I need it spelled out. In pictures, too.
Unfortunately, I don’t think the blog software here can handle your request for ASCII art well.

We get about a tenth the amount of trick-or-treaters that we did twenty years ago. This is not without its benefits.
Also, additional bonus Halloween coverage.
Awwww
I don’t recognize the costumes anymore, except for the picture-perfect Ghostbusters family last night. Little boy was the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man.

I googled a few at the Spirit Halloween store a couple weeks ago.
Little kid costumes for products that should not be marketed for kids.
We had a faire and a Toothless the dragon.
My little people don’t like gore.

Worthy of Calvin.
Any dudes threatening crime and violence on that site, I wonder?
Or is it yet again all females because they have been trained that violent threats are the way a “strong” woman gets what she wants?
There were a few, but to be honest I didn’t scroll too far down that thread.
Can I blame the government shutdown for this?
A Glibs pin I mailed out September 29th was return-to-sender’ed yesterday:
https://www.glibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Return_to_sender2.jpg
As far as I know this is the only pin not delivered. If I said I mailed you a pin and you haven’t gotten it let me know so I can mail another.
Appropriate music video:

In case you’re wondering what this is all about, I’m giving away custom-made Glibs pins. The details are here:
https://www.glibertarians.com/2025/09/free-as-in-beer/
I’ve got lots. Don’t be shy about asking.
What is the appropriate response if we ever see an other wearing the pin in public?
Do we need to developed a secret handshake?
“Am I being detained?”
I’m not teaching my orphans a secret handshake, they can shake your orphan’s hand normally.
You let your orphans out in public?!
A lot of criticisms to fit on one envelope!
Shoot, I need to do my homework and prepare a list of (at least) Ninety-five Theses to cart with me should such an event occur.

Imagine seeing those bad boys on a lapel the next time CNN gives them an interview.
That’d be amazing. But it’s an inside joke, they’d just be confused by them.
Prickly Pear makes good jelly, too.
I have not had that. It always struck me as something a snowbird would buy, like one of those tequila lolipops with a scorpion inside.
Hey, my nephews bought those at the candy warehouse. For their mom. For mother’s day.
I like my nephews.
Shiner has a Prickly Pear beer. It’s pretty good.
From the mourning lynx: ‘Teenage T. rex’ fossil is actually a different species
That’s why you need a trained physician on T. rex digs. Paleontologists aren’t trained to give a proper short-arm inspection.
Next year they’ll go “It was a T-Rex all along” Then change again the year after.
I went grocery shopping today. All normal.
Ever actually eat one of these?
I’ve had prickly pear honey. I remember it having an odd taste. I suspect I would not like prickly pear in beer based on that experience.
I’ve seen jalapeno honey but I’m thinking it was probably just flavored. It was also marked 1/2 price, I’m thinking MN people would be afraid of it.
I’ve had hemp honey, but it was creamed honey with hemp added to it. It actually tasted pretty good.
Pepper flowers are not very good as Bee attractants, they put no effort into it since they can self-pollinate. The heat isn’t in the flowers anyway, so my money’s on “added seasoning”
Fourscore/UCS:
Think hot honey, so honey infused with peppers for heat, not honey made from pepper flowers.
Hot honey.

Wife and I have made prickly pear jelly lots of times. It’s good stuff.
OT: Cause of USAF P320 death released
Two airmen at a Wyoming U.S. Air Force base have pleaded guilty to making false statements about the deadly shooting of a third that prompted the suspension of Sig Sauer M18 pistol use at nuclear weapons sites for a month, the Air Force said in a statement Friday.
The gun pause by the Air Force Global Strike Command after the death of Brayden Lovan, 21, in late July was lifted in late August after Air Force officials determined the M18 was safe to carry.
Lovan was an airman with the 90th Security Forces Squadron, 90th Missile Wing at F.E. Warren Air Force Base outside Cheyenne.
Details about his death were released for the first time Friday, including that the alleged shooter, Marcus White-Allen, had pointed the gun at Lovan’s chest in a “joking manner.” White-Allen after the shooting allegedly urged the other two surviving airmen to lie about what happened, according to the statement.
E3 behavior.
No picture of the perp or the liars. Curious.
Still doesn’t fix the fact that the gun is damned uncomfortable.
That was my first suspicion. Dumbfuckery.
I suppose it was inevitable the AF was going to embarrass itself. Does this mean I should take advantage of those discount P320 at PSA?
It also doesn’t change the fact that the SIG P320 has been proven to go off by itself if the slide is jarred, or that it’s generally kind of a crap gun.
Which is funny because there is a California legal version. This is after CA performed it’s “safety” testing. I hope this comes up in a future 2A case.
Welfare has not enabled a criminal sense of entitlement, no Sir.
After what we are seeing now I say kill the whole thing. No more welfare.
I like No.1 there. A fat girl with a piercing, braids and I am guessing a bunch of trashy-ass tattoos….but no money to eat.
trashy-ass tattoos
Hey! I told you those tattoos were between you and me!
If you wore more clothes, they wouldn’t be visible.
Dyed hair, braids, nose pins, lip and chin pins, those things don’t come cheap but a lady wants to look her best.
It’s all working exactly as LBJ intended.
And we’re only a bit over 50 years in….
Oof
Maybe I’m a bad person – but I keep reading stories like these that ooze entitlement and it’s hard to muster any sympathy
https://ca.news.yahoo.com/unprecedented-hunger-health-crisis-big-130000578.html
You need more practice at being a bad person. From what I am seeing I am thinking ‘fuck those leeches, let ’em starve. When they start looting, shoot them. Kill the SNAP program 100%.
Old converted home.
Too dumb to realize that maybe their house is making them sick. Bet it’s a mould issue.
Not that government compliance employees are smart enough to put 2 and 2 together.
Zero sympathy.
Why didn’t they save?
Suthen, have I told you that you are my brother from another mother recently?
And the media breathlessly hanging on every word – not because they give a shit, but because they have points to score.
It is all so disgusting.
Threedoor, they are at least 3 generations in living hand to mouth, welfare check to welfare check without any need for impulse control or discipline. They consume money the instant it lands in their hand.
Save? Why?
I saw an interview recently with some African dude whose native language has no future tense. When asked how they talk about or plan for the. future he replied “The future does not exist”.
Ponder that on the tree of woe.
Nails, expensive new car, expensive consumer goods in the background.
Those Lego block storage bricks are not cheep.
Da Ewe once again demonstrates the concept of “reversion to the mean.”

I went to Walmart this morning for key fob batteries and mouthwash. There was no rioting, violence, or blatant theft. Very disappointing.
Maybe the apeshit people come out later in the day?

Definitely not a bunch of retirees and unemployed commies.

I keep them in check for you, Drake. Glad you were unfettered.

I went to Walmart yesterday and I couldn’t even find a parking place, so I left. Maybe everybody thought their food stamp cards were going to be bricked at midnight.

I couldn’t finish it, I was sobbing so hard.

Boo-hoo. People move for jobs all the time.
