I should be getting home from the ol’ colonoscopy by the time these links post. A joy of getting older, I guess. But my neighborhood takes these things seriously, as one of our best neighbors died of colon cancer at 48.
Enough of that – have some Links;
- Why should they be paid if they never show up?
- Just go here and drink the tears, read the excuses and laugh.
- Fingers crossed for Yes.
- This better not interfere with the production of batons kirsch.
No time for music or videos this week – you guys have it.
Comments are open and all yours.
Happy colonoscopy!
I misread that as “Hippy Colonoscopy” and then dreaded to find out what method they’d use…
A hemp rope with a hacky sack on the end.
😱
A camera attached to a long piece of kelp that you swallow over three days and then pull out the other end?
THC colonic.
One good thrust with a First would have cleared the colon for this.
You have come out of the closet. That’s a First!
Firster’s are not bound by your feeble and rigid sexual categories. A Firster does not engage in anything for pleasure besides, but only to be First.
Alleged Firsters don’t seem bound by proper apostrophe use either.
STEVE SMITH, M.D., Gastro-enterologist get real good look.
And you will be awake whole time.
Good ol Antharopost
I’m technically due for one this coming year due to family history, but I don’t think it’s covered by my current insurance, and I also don’t have anybody I could ask to drive me to and from so it’ll probably have to wait.
Bro’ll do it for you.
I think I have some rubber gloves lying around somewhere if it makes it feel a little more official for you.
Right there in your bath-tub.
The gloves would be more comforting if there weren’t two hands on my shoulders…
Shoulders? Friend, that isn’t how this works. That isn’t how this works at all.
You will have to lock eyes with me the entire time. That’s non-negotiable.
Also known as the STEVE SMITH procedure.
you guys have it
Sen. Samra Brouk, Assemblyman Brian Maher, Assemblyman David G. McDonough, and Assemblywoman Vivian E. Cook tie at 1st as the most absent lawmakers in Albany
I noted the parties. Bipartisanship in action!
Does anyone really *want* them doing the job they’re getting paid to do?
Maher is a reservist who’s been deployed since last November, so I’ll let that go.
Who should have resigned.
Who should have resigned.
Yes.
Fingers crossed for Yes
We’re all rooting for Rick Wakeman.

Lechner, aged 65, had worked for Lindt & Sprüngli for 33 years and had taken over as CEO at the start of 2022. The company did not provide any further details regarding the circumstances of the departure.
A third of a century with the company and they just kick him to the curb. No wonder there’s no such thing as loyalty these days.
How is this guy supposed to start over from scratch at his age?
Probably didn’t even get a gold swatch.
In the violent clashes that erupted, law enforcement officers and protesters were wounded, public buildings were set ablaze and businesses were looted, raising significant questions about the French police’s approach to public order.
Sadly, none of those questions are in the line of “What’s wrong with using water cannons and live ammunition?”
What’s wrong with using flamethrowers and live ammunition?
Flamethrowers and .50 cals. Though honestly small arms seemed to scare the browns more. Point a machine gun at an unruly pack of feral children? Nothing. The M9 comes out and they scurried leaving behind a trail of stolen MRE crackers and pop-tarts.
I just got out-Firsted by UCS and I can tell you that is every bit as shameful as it sounds.
.50 or Minigun?
Why not both?
Supplement these half-measures by tasking a squadron of A-10s to Lakenheath. It’s only about twenty minutes’ flight time to Paris, and any unruly mob would only need about two seconds of BRRRRT! to get their shit together.
The French will be left to pick up the pieces (literally!) and they’ll be thankful for it.
You, this is Me.
Call for Fire, over.
HE, White Phosphorus in effect. Out.
Overall I think the AC130 would be a far more efficient and effective platform for that kind of target than an A10.
True, with total air superiority, the AC-130 gives you that great loiter time.
(TIL that only the ‘Ghostrider’ SOC variant remains in service, at least according to Wikipedia).
Switch from tear gas grenades to mustard gas. Maybe warn people first.
France has a longstanding history with mustard gas.
Try a mix of Adamsite and skunk oil before hitting the hard stuff.
I was really surprised not to see water cannon already – do they no longer have those?
Had to sell them all to fund pensions.
I’m getting a little sick and tired of the “mass protests against the rising cost of living and in support of high school students’ demands over education funding” narrative. Believe what you see with your eyes and what they are telling you, folks.
Not that pesky 13% at it again is it?
Or 10% when it comes to France. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam_in_France
Tbh, The Stone Roses made French student protests sound awesome.
🎶 My favorite tune of theirs. 🎶
But I was expecting, “I Wanna Be Adored” from that lot of narcissists.
Probably mine as well, although Waterfall would be a pretty close contender, and I’m seemingly the only person who likes Breaking Into Heaven from Second Coming.
I’m just a basic-bitch who loves Love Spreads from Second Coming.
Good tune, although I always feel a little pang of guilt enjoying anything sacrilegious from my youth spent in church. There was an episode of Severance that opened with Love Spreads and concluded with Eminence Front by The Who, which took the show from 10/10 to 11/10 for me.
Oops
Cecil Abels announced he’s ending his campaign for the New Hampshire state Senate in District 6, saying he believes he does not meet the residency requirement.
Abels, a Democrat known in the community as the owner of MrSippy BBQ in Rochester, was challenging Republican incumbent Sen. James Gray of Rochester, who is seeking a fifth term.
Abels stated in a social media video that New Hampshire law requires seven years of residency before the election, adding he spent nine months living in Kittery, Maine, in 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“MrSippy”?!
I don’t think I would bring my children there if I had any. Yikes.
If I here in Hollis, NH, I would be voting for Liz Barbour. You don’t need to sell me on her.
Liz Barbor responds.
“If I were in”
That reads like an endorsement to me.
*Gasps*
Scandalous! Where is my fainting couch?
You ever notice no such breathless articles are ever written about actual, unironical, no-shit Marxist and Marxist-adjacent pols? As if plotting to take over the world and leave you alone were a great terror than an ideology responsible for over 100 million deaths last century.
I guess the writer hates “liberty”. Imagine that.
I guess the writer hates “liberty”. Imagine that.
Shocking information about the writer of the first letter.
We’re really not going to be able to vote our way out of this neu wave of commie ideology are we?
https://www.foxbusiness.com/fox-news-travel/united-airlines-ceo-scott-kirby-wealth-inheritance-tax
Fuck off, commie.
No sir. And all those “billionaire taxes” will magically apply to you and me.
“Kirby did not specify what wealth threshold would trigger the proposed inheritance tax or what rate he would support for a national wealth tax in the remarks cited.”
Glad he has thought this through.
Oh about ten million higher than his net worth.
Why would we want to vote ourselves out of Neu! wave?
I’m guessing it’s just red meat for the commie fucks out there. Deflects from criticism his company is taking while having no impact on it.
Guy also started his career as one of those upper crust types in the military. Officer in the Air Force/pilot and then the Pentagon. Fuck almost certainly comes from money himself.
And the last words Swiss heard before he went under was…
“STEVE SMITH GIVE CHEESE MAN COLONOSCOPY. BY COLONOSCOPY MEAN…”
Some Charlotte cops got caught sending “racist” text messages. It’s being framed as some sort of competition to arrest the most black people. The implication being they were doing it without cause and not joking and engaging in pattern recognition that most of the people they end up arresting are black.
We’ll see. Regardless it’s the propaganda that will live on.
Eh, it’s not a good look even if it’s just bantz. We pay cops plenty enough money to expect them to comport themselves professionally.
Not entirely unrelatedly, and something of a pet peeve, not every instruction you give to a suspect has to be accompanied by “FUCKING.” E.g., “SHOW ME YOUR FUCKING HANDS!” “GET ON THE FUCKING GROUND!” “DROP THE FUCKING [OBJECT I’M PRETENDING IS A GUN SO I CAN SHOOT YOU WITH IMPUNITY]!” “GET OUT OF THE FUCKING VEHICLE!” Psych ward nurses making around the same average salary as a cop get to deal with equally unstable nutcases day in and day out and would get shitcanned immediately for speaking that way on the job.
I’m not defending the cops themselves. The case started with an obvious abuse of power, though not race related. The texts were found incidentally because the guy outed another undercover cop to some friend of his with flock cameras.
But none of the actual texts have been released. this is taking place in what is quietly one of the shittiest blue cities in the country and has a revolving door for batshit criminals from some of the stories that have come out in the last year alone.
Cops joking about larger narratives related to race and criminal justice and noticing that they basically do just arrest black people is where my money is rather than any actual racist conspiracy to arrest blacks without cause. But that’s not the story we will see.
Also, you can pay that demographic whatever you want. It’s still going to be made up of a certain kind of (mostly) males that aren’t that bright.
Yeeeeah, in that case, I’ll believe it when I see it.
I was woke. Up during a colonoscopy once as they felt that my heart rate was too low, after I warned them my resting heart rate was around 38-40 bpm.
It was, special.
They woke me up during mine to take a look at the monitor.
“Clean as a whistle. See you in 10 years.”
So I got that going for me.
“Oh thanks, the suspense was killing me. I definitely didn’t want to wait until this camera is out of my ass to review the results.”
Free tip:
I was the first of the day and the staff shared that it’s very much the spot you want (other than having to get up at 03:00 for the second half of your prep): “statistically, we’re more likely to miss something later in the day”.
Also “it’s nice to start the day with someone relatively healthy vs. a 89 year old with colon cancer”.
I got some lovely parting snaps to go with live video they shared.
High five!
Go team butt camera!
Not for nothing, but AI models are proving as good or better at such diagnostic analysis for several subspecialties in radiography/imaging.
Yep; this was a few years back but that’s a field that’s going to get seriously changed by AI.
89 doesn’t always mean colon cancer. Sometimes it’s prostate cancer.
I quit the colonoscopy business about 20 years ago or so.
Its always Roseanna Roseannadanna time .
Report immediately to the Head Office.
Priest Dies After Crucifix Falls on Him During Livestreamed Mass

1 and 13 are doing something for me, and unlike several others in that list, appear to be fully biodegradable.
Fire at will
The Supreme Court declined on Monday to hear a bid by a Democratic-appointed member of the National Labor Relations Board to challenge the legality of her firing by President Donald Trump.
The justices turned away former NLRB member Gwynne Wilcox’s appeal of a lower court’s ruling that said the Republican president’s January 2025 firing of her was a valid exercise of executive authority.
The court’s action follows its June decision backing Trump’s firing of Rebecca Slaughter, a Democratic Federal Trade Commission member.
Valid exercise of executive authority? Not when Mad King Donald rules by edict.
I wonder what makes this case different than Lisa Cook. The NLRB is ostensibly an “independent agency” no different than the Fed.
The legal fight over Trump’s firing of Wilcox and other officials has figured as a key test of his efforts to bring federal agencies meant by Congress to be independent from the president under his control.
Who should control federal agencies? Just let them run wild?
There’s a trend online and I notice it’s especially getting fed to me from the UK. Attractive British women going full based and spouting racist talking points. I kind of dig it even if I question if they legitimately think those things (especially on their own).
