I think its done. My 2025 work year has come to unceremonious close. Too bad I will be spending the rest of my day today, and my half day tomorrow prepping for 2026.
Its cool I have a plan.*
¡enlaces!
The Mexican Navy is in the news again. Which means I can can break out this classic meme:
ENGLISH MOTHERFUCKER. DO YOU SPEAK IT?
I’m pretty sure plunder is an act of war, but what do I know? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Probably because Castro is next.
The NY Times has no idea what to make of Milei other than trying to tie him to the Orange Man.
Let me dig up a tune…here you go.
*I don’t really have a plan, I’m just going to the gym and eating cookies.
You eat cookies at the gym?
This week the wife’s classes at the gym are testing 1RM. We got pizza last night for bench press, so pizza and presses. Tomorrow is donuts and deadlifts. It took a while for us to come up with Friday’s squats and shots.
Yes. Am I in the wrong?
“Mexican Navy plane crashes off US coast, killing five”
Cinco sinko?
what do you call four Mexicans stuck in quicksand . . . .
Hey, those nachos!
cuatro cinco
*narrows gaze*
Isn’t Mexican pottery glazed?
Cinco del mar.
Cinco sinko?
Goin’ to hell for laughing at that.
Cinco sanko.
“My 2025 work year has come to unceremonious close.”
I technically have until 4:30, but I miraculously got an appointment for a much needed haircut. Which is good because I’m ready to be done with work.
I get to work tomorrow and Jan 2nd.
I have to work next Monday, Tuesday, half a day Wednesday, and Friday.
You could retire you know.
I get back from holiday the 31st. I have work Jan 1 at 5am.
I feel oddly good about that shift. I imagine it’ll be remarkably dead. This greatly pleases me, though if I happen to give a shit that night, we’re pushing into ‘Why bother going to sleep?’ territory.
Sorry K. I get days off for the holidays, plus 2 floating holidays, and that means I just need to use 2 vacation days to be off until January 5. Most of my coworkers do the same thing.
Meh. We get paid for Dec 25 through Jan 1. So, we’re treated pretty well.
Yeah, I think the wife is technically supposed to work tomorrow, but she will be at home, and then has the next 8-9 days off.
I think(?) I saw the Meat Puppets play in the lounge of a failing restaurant, back around ’90 or so.
It might have been the Melvin’s, though.
They were still touring in 2022.
They had a long hiatus before that as one of the brothers finished his jail term for shooting at a mailman. Drugs, man, drugs…
Who hasn’t wanted to shoot a mailman? I see no crime.
(seriously, after so many years in logistics, the USPS drives me nuts. I would run havoc, and have it profitable in a year, were I in command.)
No you wouldnt. It isnt designed to be efficient or make sense.
Cris Kirkwood didn’t shoot at the mailman; the mailman (actually a security guard at the post office) shot him twice in the back, after Kris took his baton and started beating his ass with it. I think I saw that on VH1 – Where Are They Now?…
“It’s a service, it’s not supposed to be profitable” blue haired prog.
Were there rockets involved?
Castro? Yeah, there’s one still alive, but not in power.
I haven’t paid enough attention to the island of misfit toys.

Now there is a caption to make the band puke.

Threedoor:
I thought I was the only Spaced fan here.
ENGLISH MOTHERFUCKER. DO YOU SPEAK IT?
Shouldn’t that have been the Massachusetts mayor that needed a translator?
Melting pot, diversity is our strength. Eat the green goo
Some of the MN Somalis learned English fast enough to hide $9B where the Governor can’t find it and By Golly he’s been looking everywhere.
And he still talks of a third term. Were he to win a lot of regular Mnsodans would pack up and head for NoDak.
Few people deserve a political comeuppance more than Tampon Tim.
I would wager Bari Weiss will be firing a lot of folk for the 60 minute leak.
I’m “working” today. Took me two hours to get tires off my new skidsteer. Previous farmer owners must have rattled them on with a 1” air gun. It took me using my 1600 ft lb 3/4” gun to get them off. Broke. 15/16” impact socket. Forts impact socket I have ever broken that was wild.
Now I’m waiting for the tire shop to fix two tires on the mom mobile and dismount my skidsteer tires. Lame wasted day.
I think I’ll take tomorrow off before I head to work Thursday night.
Titty Tuesday is Super Trump Class.

In the same way that Target is Walmart for democrats, I’ve become convinced that polyamory is being trailer trash for democrats.
https://metro.co.uk/2024/04/03/a-poly-relationship-two-us-pregnant-time-20578855/
That… that actually tracks pretty well.
(I both resemble and resent the implications…)
My best friend (from way back) is a polyamorist. He was always swinging in Korea and he was damn good at it. Could get into the hottest chick’s pants at any bar, with regularity. Small, Iranian-Canadian, speaks many languages and is very smart, but nothing special physically or financially. But DAMN. He could play in ways I only dream of. In his book of short stories, recently published, one is about such a lifestyle.
With him and ALL polyamorists: It’s about one person leading another along so they can cheat and the other can’t. The secondary is be definition more submissive and like all else in Left-dom, the salacious acts are phrased in heartwarming ways to make the cheated feel less slighted, bubble wrap to soothe the landing of bubble-wrapped people in a bubble-wrapped time.
‘Throuple’ is such a stupid term. Let’s replace it with ‘troika.’
🙄
I wonder if any one of them is employed. The article fails to mention that.
Or where the fathers of the other kids are.
The first Pirates of the Caribbean is a fantastic flick. Just popcorn fun, delivered well. Rush is fantastic in it, and there are some quite clever bits in it. I adore the “Waste not” takeaway when Knightley is about to be sacrificed for her blood.
Currently out at Sullivan’s Steak House, where I presumably were gonna meet some other folk I don’t really know but are also trying to find folk in Carmel. Wasn’t expecting much, and I’m alone in the bar, though I just got some fancy sliders served to me. Hockey’s on and I was wise enough to bring some sort of bookish distraction. (Y’all.)
Telling the hostess I may be meeting people, she directed me to a lovely, solitary lady my age on her computer, who overheard and bluntly said it wasn’t her as she and I both chuckled over the impossibility. (‘Twould’ve been a magical coincidence if she were doin’ the same as me, but she’s work-working. (Not for $20.))
MSNOW – survivors are not happy with Epstein files and the DOJ
FoxNews – survivors are upset at Dems for selective release.
Going as planned.
“Survivors”
I’m convinced the girls at Epstein Island were well-selected and groomed gals who were enthused with the prospect of working in such luxury, pampered and well paid for their time and labor. It was remarkably well controlled, with no underage kids, careful NDA shit, including no pregnancies or Too Difficult to Hide violence, which I doubt actually happened. These women were happy volunteers, and you bet your ass they got Finishing Schooled so they could best please their visitors.
Getting pillow-talk info is older than the written record and there’s every reason for it to have been going down. It’s *the* reason for all the extra secrecy now, and I think we’re roughly on the same page as that. Would have fun at.
I had my 2nd round interview with this online service thingie. They said they want to make a decision next week, but in my 1st interview they said I would have 3 total, but I’ve only had 2 so far. Not sure if they decided to scrap the 3rd round, or if I’m out of the running.
I got called for an interview with an organization right up there with USAID in its infamy. That won’t be until Jan 16, so if I get an offer before then I’m taking it.
Good luck! 🙂🤞
Three interviews. That’s wild. Lots of people after the same gig?
Lots of people are after every gig I’ve applied for. They tell you how many people clicked Apply on a job listing on the big sites, and it’s always – without fail – over 100.
Crazy.
Are they real applicants or those just applying to keep getting unemployment?
I think those clutter up the process in a massive way.
I dreading looking for another guy for that reason. I spent plenty of money and time looking for someone and got one shitty applicant to bother to show up in person.
Employed a guy I helped run an errand for months prior. Couldn’t ask for a better guy to help run things.
In my wife’s field, in not uncommon to have 4 or 5 interviews.
“An organization right up there with USAID in its infamy…”
Soros? The Gates Foundation? The Jeffrey Epstein Home for Wayward Girls?
There’s only one glib that knows what it is, and hopefully that glib ain’t say nuttin. It’s not the IRS or ATF.
I have to hit the sack no later than midnight ET, but would anyone care for a Festivus Zoom?
Exhausted. Working tomorrow. Damn well for a Zoom tomorrow though.
Good tune.
Not a Christmas song
Yes indeed.
Your number is up
A woman was killed in a scaffolding collapse after a privately owned garbage truck triggered a chain reaction crash in East Harlem on Tuesday, according to police.
A man was driving the truck, with a passenger beside him, west on East 101st Street around 6:30 a.m. when police say he collided with a parked Kia. Surveillance video showed cars doubleparked as the garbage truck struck an SUV, then rammed two sedans, sending one flying through an intersection before it slammed into the scaffolding.
Whoops.
And that’s why garbage services need to be ran by the government.
It wouldn’t have happened if the city had been operating the garbage truck.
I saw that Final Destination scene.
The NYC scaffolding requirements are a total racket.
There is probably an 80% chance that scaffolding wasn’t needed or should have been removed quickly after work was done.
So basically killed from an unnecessary structure too.
IIRC every building over 5 or so stories is required to put one up every 5 years. My 6-story building had one up twice in the 12 years I lived there and each time it was up for more than a year.
DOOM!!!!!

JFC, these assholes are exhausting.
Exhausting Assholes.
Sounds like a good band name.
The exhausted assholes feature in the final scene of this turd.
Wut?
That sounds so bad that it might be good.
Put down the bong.
That sexual fantasy is way too much to keep in mind, though I doubt they have much else residing in theirs.
Full disclosure: Even in solitary bunk time, I generally have a *bit* of a story going on with my fantasy. I’m shockingly vanilla, but there’s at least *a* plot.
I’ve never understood why people need to make so much extra fuss over sex, when I’ve not found it needed a spaceship vagabond seductress to spice it up. I wouldn’t mind, but I don’t find it necessary.
Biggest kink? Her having a good time. I don’t ‘get’ roleplaying or other fantasies. I just fundamentally don’t. Perhaps I’m missing out.
I tapped out of a “roleplaying” situation once. That shit doesn’t interest me at all.
Wait a minute TWO JEWS??? Isn’t that over-representation?
The ‘Importance of Fucking Ernest’ had an exhaustive playbill full of notes for you neuronormative, straight, slender cis doms, along with your straight and abled, skinny twink ‘partners’ to possibly try and grok how ‘floating plastic bag’ special *our* authors, and their non-normative and expansive mindspaces, soar through life as the misunderstood paramounts of human achievement they truly are.
Fucking Wilde wouldn’t be possible today. Though if he were, I bed him and Milo’d get along swimmingly, and I’m sure Oscar would find his way ’round the madness.
That sounds a… bit gay.

Yikes!

Will there be singing and dancing?
How about punch and pie?
