I am here to allow you to hold me accountable. On Saturday my wife invited me out for breakfast. I didn’t have plans, other than to take my son to Scheels because he has a “wood bat” tournament coming up and the tournament is sponsored by a sporting goods outfit. We got a wood bat.
Anyways, it turns out she actually wanted to watch an EPL game, and as many alcoholics are aware soccer is an acceptable outlet to get plastered at a bar that happens to serve breakfast.
Unfortunately it was a 2-1 deal at OSHO a skillet plus a local made beer. Nobody locally makes an NA option. So I had the Baltic Porter. I will now allow everyone to lob their best insult at my lack of discipline.

Mexico extradites a fentanyl boss that is no longer useful to the regime.
The whole immigration thing is intentional, says a guy that wants me to not question the logistics of his theory China wants to overthrow the US with over 1 million US born-Chinese citizens voting in lockstep with the CCP via birthright citizenship.
It being bloody obvious your methods don’t work is not being backed into a corner.
Colombia still on board with anti-drug trafficking. I am guessing this is why.
[Insert space laser joke here]
Okay, lets go with this tune today. Have a great Tuesday!
It’s always intentional with the CCP
Only one Baltic Porter? That’s the problem.
Seconded.
The game was nearly over when we arrived.
As ever, radical leftist politics are never wrong, it’s always a matter of messaging.
Even if that’s the case, you think they’d actually get better at messaging.
Instead we have white women pretending mightily they don’t want to take a rough ass fuck by an ICE agent, and washed up media celebs who are trying mightily to remain relevant commit crimes at a church.
It’s the same kind of thing as a safe congressional district. Through school, social media, and the people they hang out with, their ideas were never challenged. They never had to be persuasive, everyone just agreed with them. Now all of a sudden there are these icky mouth breathers who simply refuse to see their obvious truth.
Real Radical Leftist politics have never been tried…. (and only can be once Man is perfected)
They’ve never been implemented correctly. Its always those lousy wrecker and Kulaks.
“In light of the serious ongoing wildfires, I have decided to declare a state of catastrophe” in the two regions, Boric said in a post on X.
There has to be some way to blame this on Trump.
Of course, even if he visited and offered aid, he’d likely receive a Chile reception.
He could still go to Perus.
as many alcoholics are aware soccer is an acceptable outlet to get plastered at a bar that happens to serve breakfast.
We’re supposed to have a cover story for getting plastered at a bar serving breakfast?
The cover story should be, ‘recovering from last night’s excesses…’
I just call it brunch. I’ve internalized AWFL rituals and can blend in with them for a while.
Not really.
Mexico has handed an alleged Chinese fentanyl kingpin over to authorities in the United States
I don’t think he’s alleged Chinese. Just look at him.
Just look at him
OK, but I’ll have to squint.
Both the nearby local drinkers have weekend brunch. The transplanted English pub might have soccer on the TV at the time. I don’t think they have multiple porters on tap, but they do have thirty different gins for your Bloody Mary.
Point of order, a Bloody Mary has vodka, a Red Snapper has gin.
I don’t think I would enjoy that.
While a Red Snapper is very tasty… a Weaver has only a box.
Neph: I hate the name Red Snapper. I just call them both Bloody Marys, while I wait for inspiration to strike on a better name.
R.J.: A nice spicy Bloody Mary with gin is a genuine treat. Don’t skip the Worcestershire.
My mind just says “pine needles and tomato juice.” I would try it for you.
EvilSheldon:
Fair enough. I have a love for some cocktails just for their bizarre names, such as Satan’s Whiskers.

Tell me more about this school. I expected that something like this would have been cucked right out of jolly ol’ England…
And we just sent Mike Johnson to celebrate their commitment to Western ideals.
This one made me laugh

I…uuuhhh…
These people are out of their gourds.
Ghandi did it better.
How is that even a protest? Target has been through enough anyway. Leave them be.
Eh, screw ‘em. They could’ve chosen to be neutral in the culture wars and they didn’t return to neutral until way after it was okay to do so.
If I was already boycotting Target how do I do a double boycott?
Mrs F and I had lunch at a Thai restaurant in Podunkvulle today. Apparently all the other folks were boycotting it, pretty quiet.
Next time we go out for a meal I’ll ask if they are serving ICE, if not time to boycott them. Look for the sign in the window.
“No ICE allowed” Next thing you know it’ll be ___________.
I’ll ask “Do you serve old people” Oh, I wasn’t going to order any .
It’s hard to stop targeting Target when the building has a big target on it.
What’s the average age of that line — 72? I guess retirement was just too boring… have to reclaim that spirit of Woodstock, maaaan.
Let’s fuck over the staff working the returns counter. That will prove a point.
My first thought.
Sensei:
Yeah, the people waiting in line likely never did a couple years at a retail job.
Salt melts ICE get it! We are so clever!
Oh.
Did you forget when they threw ice into the harbor just like they did at the Boston Tea Party?
Ok. Wow, that was just not very good.
Did you catch this line from the article?
“Organizers brought what they described as “clean ice” approved by the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection.”
My impression of those protestors is that they are smarmy assholes. This is not helping their case.
They missed their target, all the lakes and rivers here are covered with ICE!!
A zillions biddies and one dude.
Also… I don’t get it.
He’s hoping to pick up one of those ladies by the time he gets to the end of the line.
I hope to hell there’s never a time in my life when I’m that desperate.
I think he stands good odds if he’s a necrophiliac. Odds are at least one of them will pass on before getting to the returns counter from the looks of them.
“I dodged the draft back in ’69. Wanna come see my VW microbus?”
Sorry, GT, I don’t want to see your VW microbes
rhy: some guys just like GILF porn.
The “I don’t get it” was about the salt but thanks for the ruminations on what that dude might be up to.
I don’t get it.
Target has always been run by the lefty Dayton family anyways, so they deserve anything bad coming their way. This is left on left violence really.
Poor Latin American progressives. If only the “rival rebel groups” that seem to be a constant feature of life in their countries would tone it down once in awhile so the subjects wouldn’t get so uppity.
Those poor Latin American progressives.
If we didn’t know better, we might think they really don’t give a shit about life for the campesinos and peasants.
These people are out of their gourds.
You’re just jealous, Their lives have meaning.
I hope they fall a break a hip.
*and
That’s a death wish.
That’s a death wish.
True. Break a hip, dead inside 12 months.
I wouldn’t wish that on anyone.
Rather they live 5 years in a budget nursing home with dementia.
Oh, no
Without referring directly to Trump, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen highlighted a need to respond to seismic shifts in the world and said the speed and scale of change had driven a consensus in Europe on independence.
“It is time to seize this opportunity and build a new independent Europe,” she said in a speech.
What are they going to do, move out of our basement? That’ll show us.
So…. she’s admitting Europe has been a bunch of freeloading dependents? Nice of her, I guess.
Don’t throw NATO into that briar patch, Ursula…. please. Stop. Really.
I hope they fall a break a hip.
I hope they save a little salt for the sidewalk.
European governments, which are facing growing challenges from populist, nationalist parties, have been at odds over how to respond to the tariff threat while maintaining U.S. support for Ukraine.
It’s like they have been backed into a corner.
lol Ukraine is so 2025.
Z is gonna have to push past a line of screaming bats to get any attention these days. Nobody gives a shit about Ukraine anymore.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Tuesday that he was ready to join other global leaders in Davos, but only if the U.S. was ready to sign documents on security guarantees for Ukraine and a post-war prosperity plan.
He holds all the cards. We have to do what he says.
Results? You want results?
Just not monetizable’: humanities programs face existential crisis at US universities
“We are gathered here today, in front of the humble home of CHSS, Dickson Hall, to mourn the death of the social sciences and humanities at the hands of the MSU administration,” Miranda Kawiecki, a junior at the college and one of the protest’s organizers, read from a written eulogy. “I coordinated this demonstration because I have dreams that cannot be monetized. I have a problem with our society that cannot be solved with an algorithm. I have words to write and say that cannot be generated artificially.”
“I want to get a degree in a non-rigorous field so I can get a bullshit laptop job one day.” — Translated from derp to English
That’s nice, dear. Now how do you plan to pay for those dreams?
Pretentious twatwaffle…
There’s nothing wrong with humanities, hon. Hell, rich people studied nothing but that for centuries but without any expectation of making a “living” out of it because they didn’t have to make a living.
I want a toilet made of solid gold. It’s just not in the cards now is it?

I thought it was cute.
Life in the trenches
I’ve received a steady string of messages from increasingly concerned friends across the country. They all start the same way: Uh… is this really as bad as it looks from the outside?
My answer to that question is easy: no, it’s worse. Not since the pandemic has my daily life been ruptured in such a frightening and surreal fashion. Then, at least, there was a semblance of the country being united. Morons who rallied against masks and vaccines aside, most Americans could at least agree that the world would be a better place if Covid-19 didn’t exist.
——-
At the time I’m writing this, Trump is still toying with invoking the Insurrection Act and deploying 1,500 paratroopers to the city. How worried am I about what ICE will do to those who oppose its tactics? Enough that I considered whether I should publish this story anonymously.
It’s a slaughterhouse.
Twenty years ago, I used to tell people, ‘When the DEA gets around to shooting white kids in the suburbs, it’ll be too late to start bitching.’
Swap the DEA for ICE, and ‘kids’ for ‘middle-aged Karens’…I’ve rarely been so prescient.
“…locals are volunteering…”
I doubt that.
Yeah, not so many Americans were so willfully dedicated to defending criminal illegal aliens from the execution of duly enacted immigration law.
semblance of the country being united
This person is retarded.
“Then, at least, there was a semblance of the country being united. Morons who rallied against masks and vaccines aside”
All the Good People were in agreement.
“most Americans could at least agree that the world would be a better place if Covid-19 didn’t exist”
I suspect most Americans agree that America, at least, would be a better place if criminal illegals are all deported.
proponents of humanistic education stressing that its worth to both individuals and society at large cannot be measured that way.
Don’t borrow money to get that degree.
What did I win?
Remember the Tough Guy talk?

Ugh.
So they are going to vote for the Party that made the problem worse because they “care”.
I’m starting to think they didn’t learn anything at college.
“…making affordability a key issue in midterm elections.”
I thought the whole affordability thing was along the lines of, “Wow, groceries sure do seem to cost a lot more than it used to.”, not “I borrowed a bunch of money to go to college and now I don’t want to pay it back.”.
Trump’s a wimp, exhibit god knows what number.
The mock funeral was a protest against the university administration’s plan to overhaul the college by consolidating its departments into four thematic schools – including one devoted to “human narratives and creative expressions”, encompassing what was previously taught in the English, classics, languages and Latino Studies departments, among others.
I don’t see what they would find objectionable about that egghead gobbledygook.
“Our students today come into college with very little sense of the value of those things, even unconsciously,” said Hayot, referring to the critical thought intrinsic to the study of the humanities.
It’s almost as if “critical thought” is systematically eradicated by government schools.
I need more specifics. It seems to me that a lot of ‘critical thought’ in university these days amounts to parroting marxist horseshit.
They will even dictate whom you cannot admire.
The endgame, he believes, is a political and educational “oligarchy”, in which the children of elites can access a humanistic education – “and the rest of the country, they go to trade schools”, he said.
Just as it has always been. That “humanities” education is a foundation on which to build, not an end in itself.
So the children of the ‘elite’ become increasingly incompetent and removed from reality while everyone else gets a solid job and learns how to deal with real life.
I wonder what this will lead to?
Imagine a world run by electricians and HVAC mechanics, that’s what you get
I am a solid contract guy. You enter into a contract you uphold your end. You borrow money you pay it back.
There is a line. When you loan money to someone you know fucking well can’t pay it back, especially if you do it millions of times, then my sympathy evaporates. You knew that was a bad loan so take it on the chin.
The problem being that the Feds made so the taxpayers would take it on the chin.
Almost by design or something.
“he has a “wood bat””
I remember those days.
