Good evening, folks. I hope this finds you well. Today is college football follies with Conference Championships. Boise went in dry on UNLV last night, ending their time in the Mountain West with three championships in a row.
Links?
Looks like “science” is finally catching up to the rest of us.
No. No she wasn’t. Not that I would have objected.
If only we had another way to check the weather.
WTF?!? You expect us to defend ourselves?!?
Just when my shocked face was starting to heal.
Okay, that’s it for me. Go Hoosiers! Yes, tOSU must lose, so I can watch Sloopy rend his shirt in despair. Peace out, Glibbies.
Something a little different tonight. Prolly NSFW. Poor Timmy.
Ms. Tocci, the professor at Johns Hopkins University, said that supporting right-wing parties antagonistic to the European Union would divide and weaken the continent, leaving a “fractured Europe which is easily colonizable” by the globe’s great powers.
Que?
Who exactly would even want to colonize Europe? The third world wants to burrow in and bleed it dry. but I wouldn’t classify that as “colonization”.
Re-re-conquista?
He also said the paper sounded similar to “flat-out Russian propaganda” in its assertions that a majority of Europeans wanted the war in Ukraine to end no matter what, and that it was continued by out-of-touch elites.
You can easily see how wrong that is by the millions of European civilians volunteering to join the Ukrainian army.
Re: Boise State, youtube just popped the last 5 minutes of the 2007 Fiesta Bowl into my feed.
They’re always watching.
I thought Ellen DeGeneres fled the country because she was busted for treating her employees in a cunty manner, not because of Trump?
…and Ellen found out that bugging out to Merrie Olde England hasn’t been all warm beer and skittles.
She must be hard up, hawking some sort of anti-aging wrinkle cream on tv.
I’d wager that Ellen is far too vapid to sit there in silence in the English countryside just taking in the scenery.
But yea she faded into obscurity because her entire nice guy persona crumbled.
Foreign actors, like Ricky Recardo?
After serving their sentences, they were rehired as government contractors and were indicted again last month on charges of computer fraud, destruction of records, aggravated identity theft, and theft of government information.
Good enough for government work.
I’m almost afraid to ask how does that even happen.
I’m not afraid and I’ll bet the answer is gross incompetence.
taps out before I die of laughter
I have never given them a dime in their history and I don’t see that changing. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Literally Hitler.
JFC. Fuck off, the NYT.
Maybe Europe has a gofundme you can throw your fucking money at. Leave me out of it.
We should loosely support (as opposed to align with) the AfD (Germany), Reform Party (UK), and National Rally (France). Surely there are a couple of Dutch and other parties we can support. But fuck all to hell the globalist bullshit they’ve got going on there now where a man can be arrested for shooting guns in another country where doing that is perfectly legal.
Globalism is utopia for NYT readers who are insulated from and/or completely ignorant of the actual effects of it. It’s almost unfair to make fun of them for how stupid they are.
I can’t access the NYT’s anymore at all. I suspect it’s because I installed an add-on to Firefox that was supposed to allow me to bypass paywalls which worked for a little while. Could need an update or maybe they just clamped down.
I don’t feel I’m missing much.
Same.
Unpopular (not so much ’round here) Opinion: I don’t ‘care’ about Ukraine, outside of US $ and feet getting involved, pulling political aims with ’em. I don’t fear Russia, and it’s not ‘bad’ for them to waste money and lives over something they’re not wealthy enough to take advantage of, AFAIK. It’s also pushing EU to act like they give a shit about defending themselves.
(Interdimensional Trumpian Chess, right there?)
1.5: I also don’t really ‘care’ about the Christian ‘genocide’ in Nigeria. (I can’t care about everyone, is all I’m really saying.) It’s Nigeria. I kinda assume that’s how shit, in general, just *is* there. Don’t even add “Christian.” *People* are being killed ‘en masse? Duh? This is why I was pissed on July 4th when my generation took to complaining about how there’s nothing in America to be proud of.
(We don’t treat people like that, dumbass college yutes. We’re a far better country and people. Fuck off, ya sheltered, angry, useless fucks.)
Unpopular Thought #2: I also really don’t care about abortion. I get weirded out by late-term abortions and my exes thoughts on ’em. (‘I or others can kill the baby until the umbilical cord is severed. *That’s* when Life begins.’) don’t think others should have to pay for others’ “access,’ and I really don’t like the hooks involved with culture not really giving a shit about the (parental, ‘contractual,’ social) realities of having kids in the first place, but I’m not *too* fussed about the practice, in general. (I also purposefully don’t have kids.)
The idea that an abortion is something to be ‘proud’ of is a great indicator of solidified societal fuckery. (Band name. Album cover just a pic of a massive, study-my -meal bowel deposit.
^^
My biggest issue with abortion as it stands is paternal rights. The 18-year noose around the necks of unwanting fathers, added with the the Baby Factory machine, w The State pay moms monthly for each spawn they spurt out. Real nasty entrapment hook. Yuck.
“I can’t care about everyone, is all I’m really saying”
Adam Smith nods in solemn agreement.
Even if one wanted to “care about everything”, you don’t really want what that shit leads to, because it leads to modern western liberalism where you’re eager to destroy your own society and kill the patriarchy because Gaza.
It leads to Queers for Palestine.
“You can’t love everyone, it’s a meaningless expression…” ~Rand in an interview about the Virtue of Selfishness. I’ve never read any of her fiction, but I really like that interview. (No, I haven’t *read* the damn thing. Same w Sowell, though I have read his articles, but never his books. Hearing him explain ’em seems (mostly) sufficient.)
“Caring” about stuff that is not personally relevant is completely contrary to human nature.
I can intellectually argue for or against stuff but none of it matters much in the end and certainly not in the life or death manner that breathless ideologues claim.
I’m unpopular opinion on the other end on Islam and abortion.
I want to see either ended.
I don’t care how either are ended.
Be it changing hearts and minds or two to the brain pan.
Fe Fi Foe Yum
“She’s thicker than zoo glass” — and not afraid to say it.
Missouri morning news anchor Carissa Codel has gone viral for her hilarious videos in which she reads troll comments about her voluptuous appearance.
“Dayuum Gurl, I want you to put a hurting on me like you do those midnight snacks,” she intoned in her morning news TV voice during one cheeky video.
“You look like you could survive a harsh winter,” Codel, 26, who anchors “Ozark’s First” morning news on Fox 49, read in another.
[ Tres starts thinking about moving to the Ozarks ]
Apparently she has thick skin, too.
Honestly, she’s about average size. I wouldn’t call her fat. She’s definitely not thin, but she isn’t fat.
She *was* fat, but now she would be in the “thick” category to me. Tres likes rolls upon rolls from what he’s posted as well as cock.
She’s 5’3, 180 lbs.
That’s obese. She carries it well, but she’s seriously large.
On the plus side, she’s down 55 lbs, so she’s headed in the right direction.
She’s also got a sense of humor about herself, so 👍
The question is, where does she fit on the Tres scale?
This is a hell of a time for him to take the night off.
I tapped out here. There are people with kids who could feel the budget cuts, without weighing in or getting into the weeds on that. The notion that a celebrity who should have quite a bit of cash squirreled away and should easily be able to afford the best education for her children? Yea, shut the fuck up.
That’s assuming that her son truly is autistic and it’s not bullshit like his supposed gender identity.
Unpopular opinion – but without the political vitriol that she allows to consume her, Rosie may actually not be a terrible human being (though I do recall her having similar stories about being a cunt to her staff as Ellen, though I could be wrong on that).
She seems less consumed by all that bullshit over the pond. So maybe that’s all healthier for her.
Maybe her son is Somalian and autistic, as are all the other Somali kids. Bring the kid to Minnesota, he won’t be noticed.
Nothing? Education is a state and local concern.
Education is a parental concern.
That the state is involved at all is immoral.
Ellen in the Cotswolds? I didn’t know that, but that’s Jeremy Clarkson’s territory. That’s fucking hilarious. Surprised they haven’t mentioned her, as I reckon she’d be (told by her agent to be) furious with everything + Him.
Teehee!
I would pay to watch the two of them live in a house together.
The shenanigans would be epic.
Ha! Clarkson’s rather used to dealing with idiots. I’d like to think he’d be game, but I’d also like to think he’d find a new foodstuff for the hogs.

Why ain’t nobody in da zooms? It’s not even 10 on Saturday!

I’m at home.
Only zoom at work.
It accused the European Union of stifling “political liberty,” warned that some NATO members risked becoming “majority non-European,” and said the U.S. should align with “patriotic European parties” — code for Europe’s far-right movements.
Europe can’t even be bothered to defend itself from the wogs to the south. Why should I care about sending American treasure, in no small part confiscated from me, to defend them from a mythical menace to their east?
When the Spaniards, Portuguese, and Eye-talians start blowing every invader out of the water, then I’ll take them seriously enough to help them out. When the Brits put shoreline batteries every half-mile in Kent, we’ll consider calling them brothers again.
Let them exercise the lesson the Vietnamese taught the French. Until then… good luck, fellas.
It should be cheep and easy to sink all the invading craft. 50cal would take most of them out.
I don’t always drink beer, but when I do, it is to give even less of a fuck. He is… the most GenX man in the world!

Lol
It’s the dramatized version of my life.
Where is my shocked face?

TL:DR? HAMAS leader says they won’t disarm, and will run Gaza.
I hope OMB doesn’t commit us deeper into supporting Israel. But I do support renting them B-52’s and selling them 750lb dumb bombs at wholesale. If HAMAS and the Gazans are as stupid as the 1944 Germans and Japanese then Israel needs to kill enough to change their minds. Allegedly 70K dead from ~ 2M, or 3.5% dead. Germany and Japan took ~8-9% to learn the lesson. But they had no love from liberals across the globe. So figure a minimum of 10% dead and maybe the Gazans will have had enough.
Why B-52s? Arc Light. Three aircraft with 75 each 750 lb bombs. Typical footprint 1 X 3 M.
Israel should immediately reclose the borders to food and humanitarian deliveries, shut down the internet and electricity again, and quit returning any Pali prisoners while shutting down all methods of them to communicate with the larger world- except through the Red Cross.
File up killing the overseas leaders, make sure they have skin in the game.
Have jihadis ever given up?
I think you need to kill all the males for it to even begin to work.
I think if Trump does nothing more than publicly back Israel, then Israel can handle it on their own.
And Spud gets to enjoy Sloopy’s tears.
Kudos to Indiana
Please give sloopy your condolences Monday morning.
Unranked tPSU came closer to beating the Hoosiers than #1 tOSU did.
If the Steelers fire Mike Tomlin, I might literally spontaneously First in my pants. Repeatedly. For hours.
You can probably relax for a few months:
https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/47222043/sources-steelers-decide-mike-tomlin-option-march
Eh. They’re either going to fire him or move on after the season or not. If not, they’ll exercise the option sooner rather than later to quiet the speculation.
Schefter is talking out of both sides of his mouth and knows damn well that the Steelers aren’t going to let Tomlin coach out 2026 as a lame duck.
The draft being in Pittsburgh works to the advantage of fans if they grow a spine and continue doing what they did last week. Boo the fuck out of the embarrassing product on the field and set their sights on tomlin after that.
Kings beat down Blackhawks…tonight the world is right
Took 48 years, but finally have the Paciifc 8 again.
I thought they were down to the PAC-2?
They raped the Mountain West, and kidnapped North Texas. Boise is now part of the PAC-8.
Reason is running with the laughable narrative that Afghans brought over post-war were “thoroughly vetted.” Three times, in fact! No details are provided on that process or how it would even be possible, but they assure you it happened. All those thorough records the now defunct Afghan government kept were a big help, I’m sure.
The Afghanis who nominally sided with us were some of the worst allies in history in every sense.
Didn’t we have to assign people to keep an eye on them while they were on our bases in A-stan because they kept attacking us?
Clocked in, and I pray the churches are well with their lordships this morn. I don’t eagerly await their post- penatence splurge.
Huh. IUs good at football. Be merry, all.
*the churched
Tis the season, Glibs!

Oh boo hoo hoo.
“Green” electric consortium goes belly-up
Some quotes in case the article is paywalled, since I couldn’t find the article anywhere else. I didn’t get a paywall and don’t subscribe.
Oh, but let’s look at the prices:
So “renewable” energy was still more expensive and somebody hoped consumers would still pick it despite all the scare stories about rising energy prices. And we’ve got local politicians wanting the state to take over the traditional electric utility while ignoring shit like this.
And, of course, it’s all OMB’s fault:
Whoops, that wasn’t meant to be a replay to Sean.
Mmmm….
🍗😋👍
I remembered I had a working air fryer, so I put some seasoned chicken in and had it for breakfast.
Have I mentioned lately how much I hate shared laundry facilities? Gah. My usual ‘no problems’ laundry routine has been disrupted by somebody else getting an early start. 2 loads, only 1 washer & 1 dryer available. Guess it’ll just take twice as long, grumble grumble.
Aside from that serving of fresh whine, good morning all!
Snowing here @ 23 degrees, with a forecast low of 5 overnight tonight. Whee ;-\
