Revolutions can be kindled from the smallest spark: Disneyland animatronic loses head, scares riders
A woman aboard the Little Mermaid ride at Disney’s California Adventure was spooked when she noticed one of the animatronic figures was missing something.
In a video posted to Twitter, the Ursula figure was seen moving around with her head dangling off her bosom from cables and wires. Despite not having a head, the figure continued to sing and dance.
…
Coincidentally, attractions at a different Disney park also suffered similar malfunctions. Tweets posted by visitors at Disneyland Paris displayed one of the animatronics on Pirates of the Caribbean also missing a head.
“Coincidence” “Malfunction” These are the lies they feed us. The robots are rising up and none of us will be safe.
Horribly ugly person who makes “music” you don’t listen to involved in a local story that doesn’t deserve the attention it is getting is commented on by a website that serves no real function and is reposted here because I hate myself for reading it first. (7.5 million trigger warnings)
Cannibal Cop 2: Cannibal Librarian. And Cannibal Mechanic. And Cannibal Occupation Undefined. Really, we can just keep this series on the air for years.
A former Stuyvesant High School librarian busted for his role in the notorious “cannibal cop” case will feast on 15 years behind bars for conspiring to kidnap and consume women.
Christopher Asch, 65, was sentenced Monday by Manhattan Federal Court Judge Paul Gardephe, who said there was “overwhelming evidence that Mr. Asch constitutes a danger to the community.”
In 2013, Asch was arrested as part of a federal investigation into so-called cannibal cop Gilberto Valle.Asch, Valle and two others chatted on DarkFetishNet, where they shared plans to kidnap, torture, kill and eat women and children, prosecutors said.
Arrested for chatting with other deranged weirdoes… Good thing there’s no parallel or lesson for any of us here.

SF afternoon links? Wha?
Should I feel scared?
These ladies are so hot, they gotta wear shades.

#15 is a red dye job from hitting every button I have.
The animatronics on Pirates of the Caribbean are creepy.
In fact, there are a lot of things about Disney that are VERY creepy.
Goofy is Mickey’s friend, but Pluto is his pet.
Nobody wears pants.
Clarabelle the cow is one of their best friends. All the characters including Clarabelle love hot dogs.
Nobody said they were kosher hot dogs. Mickey doesn’t have any pig friends, does he?
Nobody believes the packaging on hot dogs unless it comes with the (((official))) seal of Kosher goodness.
They’re pork hot dogs. Their ain’t no Porky Pigs at Disney.
Ingredients.
Well, ducks don’t wear pants.
Donnie Duck and his “nephews” all run around with no pants on
That money bin is all hush money.
Truth.
Going to Disneyworld as an adult, all I could think was how impressive everything was run. From their easy out parking lot to how clean everything is and how polite and friendly all the workers are. They should manage our parks.
WITH AN IRON FIST
Going to Disneyworld as an adult, all I could think was how expensive everything was run.
Even the salads?
I had the most disgusting Teriyaki Chicken Bowl of my life at Disney World.
They have a really upmarket Cobb with avocado right by ToonTown.
They keep raising the prices and attendance keeps increasing. It’s part of what makes Orlando “recession proof”.
I went in…. 2012? I only had 2 kids at the time, so it had to be 2012.
We got one of those advertisement/coupon books at a rack in the airport. Almost every restaurant in there was closed and out of business.
If you’re advertising in a hotel lobby rack, you’re doing something wrong.

I think I remember the name of one of them.
Does Ponderosa ring a bell?
Yeah. It was a steakhouse on I-drive if I remember correctly.
I see that my favorite Chinese place closed. So good. Ate there twice in 2 days.
Ming Court by the convention center.
I ate at Charley’s Steakhouse. The citrus wood charcoal is the bomb. Thumbs up taste on their open air charcoal pit.
I was there for non-Disney reasons but stayed just outside the park. Had a pretty tasty NY-style pizza at a place called Flippers.
Good lord, yes. All I thought about. Between that and my kids catching the measles.
Something like 20% of Americans have been to Disneyland or Disneyworld.
About 95% of US consumers bought something from Wal Mart last year.
1 in 8 US workers have worked at McDonald’s.

I took my kid to Disneyworld last summer and stayed at a hotel on-site (yes I spent a fortune). I went to the convenience store in the hotel to buy some gum. The woman at the store told me gum is not sold anywhere on Disney properties because ol’ Walt thought it was yucky and cruddied up the streets and such.
But could you buy cigarettes?
This is, frankly, the only question I care about seeing answered tonight.
Nothing beats It’s a Small World for creepy.
The AC in there is freaking glorious.
I fell asleep before we even turned the first corner.
To my understanding, the draw to that was they used to be real skeletons.
Is the wench auction real too?
Asking for Q.
We wants the redhead!
I’m only paying top dollar here. I send a proxy.
They got rid of the wench auction. It’s now a seminar on gender relations in 17th Century pirating.
But, no seriously, they got rid of the wench auction…
https://io9.gizmodo.com/heres-what-disneys-pirates-ride-looks-like-without-the-1796890685
I knew it was going to happen at some point. It’s still annoying to hear, though.
They still have it in Florida.
We also celebrate pirates sacking Tampa.
Its okay. They added Johnny Depp, so it even creepier.
Them adding Depp and making the pirates less rapey was when I stopped going to Disneyland.
If I were Walt, I would have been entombed in that statue that’s right in the park.
That’s not a tomb, Billy, that’s an eidolan.
Idols? DID SOMEONE SAY IDOLS? I LOVE IDOLS!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qz63XlWu0o8
Somebody said creepy.
No. There are many creepy Idoru links I could give you. That is not one of them.
Dancing idols, you say?
Sugarfree, this is going to make you really angry.
Ahem. (7.5 million trigger warnings)
What does that come out to after taxes and criminal defense expenses?
It will just about cover the surgery to put his ass back together after prison.
I have no idea what that is, but i think its a safe bet to say its name begins with “Lil’”

“Bill Nye Does Not Speak for Us and He Does Not Speak for Science
By attending the State of the Union with NASA administrator nominee Jim Bridenstine, the Science Guy tacitly endorses climate denial, intolerance and attacks on science
By 500 Women Scientists on January 30, 2018”
https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/observations/bill-nye-does-not-speak-for-us-and-he-does-not-speak-for-science/
Even the byline is beyond parody.
Why is the NASA administrator nominee at the State of the Union in the first place?
Why is Anyobody at the State of the Union? We all agreed it should just be a tweet.
I thought that until I saw @notwokieleaks’ idea. No State of the Union. Instead we do the Prime Minister’s Question Time. 3 hours of congresscritters yelling at the President like monkeys, and the President giving monkey-like responses. It would also probably lead to congressional brawls, which is fun. We could have Vince McMahon sponsor it and put it on PPV. I’d pay $20.
With the amount of shit getting flung, the camera would be obstructed in under five minutes.
Canada has Question Time. I watched it once, and not all the way through. Trust me, it’s an idea that’s great when you get a 15 minutes edited video of highlights during which you maybe know two people involved. Otherwise, it’s a tiresome exercise in talking past each other.
Honorable exception I must link always: Maggie Thatcher’s last QP as Prime Minister, but that was basically her defending her ideas and her political career. There’s a full version but I can’t find it right now…
Would save on reprinting state of union tickets.
I’m confused.
Have the warmists excommunicated the mechanical engineer?
yeh, that’s what I’m trying to discern.
Is this a good thing?
“By 500 Women Scientists on January 30, 2018”
Interesting.
When he said there were 64 genders he was totes scientific. But, OMG he’s going to Drumpf’s state of the union!
Wait, they’re excommunicating the peddler of pseudoscience for being insufficiently pseudo-scientific?!?
Way to live up to the stereotype peddled by paternalistic chauvinists, ladies. Good job!
Scientific American really turned into garbage about ten years ago.
It was always a lefty pub, even when I first subscribed back in 1966. Always hysterically anti nuclear. I could only take it for a decade.
If you have any modifier in front of “scientist” that *isn’t* a subfield, you’re not to be listened to.
Wanna bet the four 500 Women Scientists aren’t high energy physicists? I know quite a few female actual scientists and they’re too busy doing, you know, science, to worry about shit like TV actors who pretend to be scientists making symbolic statements about shit they don’t understand.
Preach it!
For the record, while there was a severe dearth of females in the physics department, the few that were there were certainly not on a holy crusade on behalf of the XX army. They wanted to do their work and get on with it.
500 women scientists….but wait, I thought there were no women scientists? Y’know, on account of the patriarchy and sexism and all that. /s
Thog: This our science club. Science here funny in different way.
Ornik: It not reinforce stereotypes.
Kug: Science come from character, real situations. Not abstract craziness.
We no can science, but have good fundamentals!
Funny story about last year’s “March for Science” or whatever it was. My friend, an applied physicist, is dating this broad who he claims is the “hottest” he’s ever been with. Anyhow, she apparently wanted to attend the March for Science. Already having an understanding of how the marches were not exactly saturated with scientists or even sciencey types, I asked him afterward: “So, where there many scientific professionals there?”
Big lolleriffic 10 second pause, followed by “Well…not exactly.”
“I science love fucking.”

“Pelosi Melts Down Over #ReleaseTheMemo On CNN
She went on with several platitudes about the release being dangerous for “national security,” a “cover up,” and a “distraction,” and descended into a nonsensical diatribe about how Trump’s tax cuts will hurt the American people and how Democrats want to help hurricane victims.
“The Republican Party has crossed over to cover-up. They’re deadly afraid of the Russia investigation.”
Cuomo asked Pelosi why House Republicans were so eager to be transparent about classified information if they were engaging in a cover up.
“Because it’s a lie!” Pelosi said. “It’s not even true! They have made up a memo that’s not even true.””
https://www.infowars.com/pelosi-melts-down-over-releasethememo-on-cnn/
TW: Infowars
Oh my God, if Pelosi is losing her mind over this it must be
badTuesday.Her mind has been on hiatus for some time. There is no ‘losing’. Ship has sailed. ‘Er mind’s not pinin’! ‘it’s passed on! This mind is no more! It has ceased to be! ‘It’s expired and gone to meet ‘is maker! ‘it’s a stiff! Bereft of life, ‘e rests in peace! If you hadn’t nailed ‘er to the perch ‘she’d be pushing up the daisies! ‘Is metabolic processes are now ‘istory! ‘She’s off the twig! ‘She’s kicked the bucket, ‘er mind’s shuffled off ‘is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin’ choir invisible!! THIS IS AN EX-PARROT!!
I think we can safely say that whatever is in that memo is very bad indeed for so many Donks to be this desperate.
Pushing the angle that it’s damaging to national security is VERY, VERY DUMB. So par for the course.
The memo is going to get released. What are they going to do when it’s very obvious that it ISN’T damaging to national security in the least?
The people on Pelosi’s side won’t care and everyone else already thinks she’s wizened loon.
Jots down name of next homebrew. It’ll have to be a sour.

“Pelosi Pilsner” you’ll never want to take the top off.
Enhanced with Botox.
Damage to the Dems = Worse than anything else on planet Earth > National Security
So, in actuality, it’s even worse than they’re saying.
Is anyone else mildly hopeful Trump will pull out the memo for SOTU and read it out loud to the whole world?
I am now.
Oh well. I bet somebody will drunkblog it for me so I can catch the highlights.
He’s not nearly enough smart or trolly for that. Alas.
No, I’m hoping that he has Hillary escorted out on stage in shackles and an orange jumpsuit.
“Prior to this address. I have dispatched SEAL Team 6 and an AC-130 Spectre Gunship to her heavily fortified compound in Chappaqua, NY…”

That would be something to fap to.
I used to think that common-sense eventually wins in all cases. i am less confident in this lately.
people demonstrate a remarkable ability to deny reality for extended periods of time, until most people forget what the issue was about in the first place.
They are going to say “we told you it was a big nothing the whole time, and we don’t know what all the fuss is about. Next: Trump said Putin was better than Hitler! Our crack investigative team digs deep into this dangerous bromance of white supremacy!”
I don’t think the swamp will drain itself, but TDS sure has some unexpected side effects.
They have made up a memo that’s not even true.
Of course it’s not true. If it were, it would be called a “dossier”.
If it’s classified and Pelosi has seen it, then our national security is already at zero and can’t get any lower.
So if it’s not true, how is it dangerous to national security? More likely it’s dangerous to Democratic Party security.
Throw everything against the wall and see what sticks, I guess, no matter how contradictory it is.
I’m still not convinced anything will come from it, but I’m getting more intrigued. The MO of Dems with embarrassing news is to let the media ignore it and scream FAUX NEWS when they’re the only outlet that does a story on it. This all out offensive to get out ahead of it is new and makes me want to believe that it might lead to something.
“U.K. Police Force to Bring In ‘Crying Rooms’ for Female Officers”

Least they can do for them after they’ve been raped.
Or during…
The u.k. Sounds like Portlandia, it’s amazing that their grandparents defeated the nazi’s.
Defeated, waited for American industry and Russian blood to do the work… Poteyto, potatoh.
Change defeated to “didn’t preheat the ovens and set up some nice living space.”
Exactly. They were hanging on and would eventually lose. The Commonwealth countries of Canada and Australia were doing what they could admirably but it was the United States and Russia who swung the whole damn thing.
To be fair, even if Germans murdered Hitler in 1941 to stop him invading USSR (and invading USSR was the whole point of his politics), Stalin would have probably struck West eventually, after the reforms were completed and Red Army rearmed with modern weapons. If T-34 and KV-1 were a nasty shock to Germans when they came in unsupported and in penny-packets, full divisions of them would have drove Wehrmacht mad.
Although, if Britain had surrendered in 1940, Hitler doesn’t have to keep large armies in the west. Probably still loses to USSR, but maybe weakens USSR a lot more.
Considering the amount of British men put into the ground between WWI & WWII plus exit migration, it’s not entirely surprising that the ones left post-WWII that put up with wartime rationing into the mid 50’s would beget their pussy genes. Rationing actually became worse after the war, yet no (Labor) politicians were dragged out and hanged from lampposts.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rationing_in_the_United_Kingdom#Timeline
I never understood that argument applied to UK.
Wikipidia (FWIW) says 867,829 to 1,011,687 for “UK and colonies” (sans dominions, so no India, Canada and such), which includes 107K dead civilians from malnutrition and influenza. That somehow didn’t pussify them in WW2.
In WW2, they lost further 450,900 from all causes, civilians included. This from some 45-50M people living in the Isles.
Now, if that causes “pussy genes”, Russians and Ukrainians should be most soyboyi nation on earth, with 2,840,000 to 3,394,369 deaths in WW1 (entire Empire), then a bloody Civil War, then some 20M deaths in WW2 (again, USSR as a whole).
If you go down into smaller nations, there’s Romania with 750K dead in WW1, and 500K in WW2. Serbia is listed as 750K-1.25M in WW1 (16%-25% of pre-war population), with Yugoslavia as a whole losing another 1M-1.7M(6%-10%) in WW2. Poland didn’t exist in WW1, but claimed 6M dead (half or so are Jews who died in the Holocaust, yet even then, that’s twice the combined UK dead in two wars).
Overall population rates. If you look at the numbers of the same military age cohort, it would be a much larger percentage. I
don’t think it’s alone but it’s part of it, plus the much stronger pull of socialism, weariness, destruction of a fair amount of the country (though not nearly like Germany or much of Europe), and a growing government that was expected to provide answers.
In UK’s case, it’s much more the effect of socialist propaganda, including the perceived failure of old order to keep the promises it made. They could have lost half the men they did in WW1 and would have still been in the same boat.
Government made a promise of “country fit for heroes” after WW1. Then they faceplanted into economic trouble and increased socialist agitation, compounded with the internal problems of Irish revolt and management of new colonies. WW2 played into the socialist hands, as UK went onto full war footing (“see? central planning really works!”) and the perceived success of the Soviet Union (“see? central planning helped them defeat Germans when no one could, even after such a massive setback!”). After the war, it was “well, rationing is hard, but it was worse in the war, so show some strength.”
There was no “best and brightest all died, and cowards didn’t” – conscription made sure that the casualties in WW1 cut across all boundaries of class, ability, intelligence and nationality (see link below – some 12% of British soldiers were killed, against 17% of the officers). All that happened was decades of indoctrination, compounded by the aggressive selection for right-think in the government, media and education. Push them in a corner and they’ll turn into murderous raving savages overnight.

A student op-ed at The Harvard Crimson has blasted one of the university’s theatrical troupes as bigoted, calling it “anti-Queer, anti-Brown, and anti-Black.”
Nicholas Whittaker accused Harvard’s Hasty Pudding Theatricals group of being “not actively pro-Queer, pro-Brown, and pro-Black and so necessarily anti-Queer, anti-Brown, and anti-Black,” and said consequently that its famous drag show “never could be drag.”
Whittaker compared Hasty Pudding Theatricals unfavorably to “Venus Xtravaganza,” a “small Latinx trans drag queen” famous in 1980s New York.
Venus Xtravaganza “dances because she knows the beauty of her Brown skin, her Queer body,” Whittaker writes. “Her dance gives her power. How else, but by dancing, can she live in a world that mercilessly crushes Brown and Black, Queer and trans bodies, crushes them under its anti-Queer, anti-Brown and anti-Black healthcare and legal system and education system and culture and police state? How else, but by dancing, can Venus Xtravaganza breathe?”
“Does anyone in the Hasty Pudding Theatricals even know Venus Xtravaganza’s name? If not, how can they know what drag really is?”
“Drag is Queer,” Whittaker says, “and drag is Brown and Black. The ballroom is a battleground, and voguing—the dance of drag, our triumph—is a battle cry.”

The purge zone at HHN is awesome. I refuse to watch the movies.
I saw the first one on an airplane or something. There was a small bit near the end that was delightful, but not worth the run-time of the movie. It’s news to me that there were sequels though.
My cousin told me the premise. Hard pass.
For the best. It’s not a good movie. I’m shocked there are more.
The first and third were good.
Always enjoyed “The Purge” concept, although as a libertarian I’m pretty sure I know exactly what would happen if we didn’t have laws for a day.
Pretty much nothing.

True.
What I mean, however, is what’s stopping me from killing my neighbor is probably not the law. I really don’t want to kill him. That much.
I’m a nice fella, until the purge. I do some pretty awful stuff.
It’s really your one chance to just mow down a people, because you know the only thing stopping you was the government.
*bunch of
I thought maybe you were talking genocide.
But that does sound like a business for a government to do.
And of those that do want to kill their neighbors, I’d imagine fear of reprisal weighs just as heavily as fear of the law, so the removal of legal ramifications only would have a very modest effect. Social order, after all, is not maintained by policemen or the innate goodness of man, but by the ability of the common man to check the impulses of his fellow.
That’s always your advice.

The announcement accompanied news of additional job cuts and a plant closure at the Milwaukee-based company. It also came four years after Harley unveiled its “LiveWire” project, a prototype all-electric motorcycle.
“You’ve heard us talk about Project LiveWire,” Matt Levatich, the president and chief executive officer of Harley-Davidson, told listeners during the call on Tuesday. “It’s an active project we’re preparing to bring to market within 18 months.”

I laid it all out in the Harvey Weinstein story…which I swear I will continue…at some point…
Lose?
Piss on.
You’re always dragging Trump into things..
Don;t be so cynical. The FBI has more important things to cover up.

Somewhat interesting. Looks like there is a populist woman trying to primary the governor in my state. She’s a gun range owner who made something of an ass of herself with a muslin-ban at her range a few years ago.
So she’s Polyester or GTFO?
That muslin is not only scratchy, but flammable. But polyester is just asking for a nasty burn.
I’d think you’d want to stick to the treated cottons or something like nomex for the range.
Tell me again why this person still has a job
Spokesman Richard Rapoza said the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency has encouraged all employees to cooperate with investigations of the erroneous message. He said the worker who sent it has also refused to cooperate with the state agency’s internal investigations.
“He has taken the position that he provided a written statement shortly after the incident, and doesn’t need to speak to investigators because he has nothing to add,” Rapoza said in an email.
The name of the worker has not been released. He continues to work at the agency but has been reassigned to a section where he doesn’t have access to the warning system.
You don’t suppose AFSCME has something to do with it?
Believe me, my position would be “please direct all questions to my lawyer”
What would your position be as his supervisor?
You’re fired.
“Uhhh… I wasn’t there that day, you can’t lay this at my feet!”
Public sector unions, amirite people?
So a person should be fired just because of an illness?
Not while Trump still has a job!
That’s a classic excuse. Best I’ve ever heard. A+.

What the hell is going on here? The porn star that Trump supposedly had an affair with (and who is booked to be on Jimmy Kimmel tonight) now says she never had an affair with Trump and there was no hush money.
How does this crazy son-of-a-bitch keep pawning his opposition?
In this case, probably the IRS.
It’s OK to take hush money, but you have to grease the federales too.
That’s a good point
makes sense
LOL. That is true and hilarious.
I’m still confused at why that would even matter. its not like it happened in the white house.
#moveon.
Exactly what someone getting paid hush money would say. Hence, ergo, therefore…
If she took money she signed a non-disclosure. If there was no affair she is slandering.
Either way Trump can sue her tits off. This is her only move.
Who knows if it happened or not? Who cares?
Pretty sure a court would be loathe to repossess enhanced titties.
Once again, shitty American ideas make their way north.

Sure, either way that family is tainted.
Something weird is going on with Canada’s PM Zoolander; he may be the next victim of the #metoo movement. Sounds like there’s been one or more non-consensual sexual situations (attested to via sworn affidavits) betwixt The Hair That Walks Like A Man™ and other members of his Cabinet/staff.
Please let it be so, God. The schadenfreude alone would be awesome.
I’m not reading that SF story.
Not possible. No one would turn him down. Too dreamy.

I was sceptical, but first link has this:
Yeah, that’s not how #metoo works, “lady”. Suck it.

Deep state gatekeepers hardest hit
As a practical matter, it appears that the White House and the Chairman of the HPSCI have worked together in a way that bypassed the normal process of consultation and deference to the Intelligence Community. Proponents of #releasethememo might bill this as a transparency “win,” but I think that scholars and knowledgeable observers of the intelligence community transparency efforts will understand that what is transpiring this week is the exact opposite, because it is “transparency” that will cloud the public’s understanding of the actual intelligence information involved. It is hard to see this proposed release as meaningful transparency versus a harmful politicization of intelligence.
We have to control the narrative!

Well, progressivism requires someone to hold the leash, and since the Democrat party has a leadership vacuum at the moment…

Shangela Laquifa Wadley on gender and drag. Don’t look at me. I didn’t make up that name.

More like Mangela, amirite????
So, I was bored yesterday when I bought beer and I bought a bottle of this. Has anyone had it? I just popped the cork and am tasting a glass. It’s hard for me to judge, very thin bodied compared to the bourbons I typically drink (It’s not THICC!). Not a bourbon, so there’s that. I’m not sure If I’m impressed or not.
Michter’s Sour Mash
Hmm, maybe this doesn’t go on rocks… I’m a have another neat.
I really like it, but, as you note, it isn’t a bourbon and shouldn’t be approached as such. It’s sold with bourbon and that ends confusing a lot of people.
I drink all of them neat, but that’s just me.
It is a bourbon. Sour mash is a subset of bourbon. Many bourbon are made using sour mash process.
Sour mash whiskey uses the bourbon recipe but starts the mash with leftovers from a previous batch, much like the starter in sourdough bread. The sour mash process gives a sweeter, deeper flavor to the final product.
Bourbon can’t be made with sour mash. It’s just a definitional contradiction.
(eyes suspiciously)
ayaint trust no fancy talk what comes to whiskey drinking
Curses! I let the mask slip.
It’s not a bourbon. Bourbon has to be 52% corn from what I’ve learned.
Yes, bourbon can be made with sour mash, but this is not a bourbon.
This one is definitely better neat. Not enough body to get watered down. Jury is still out, need one more…
I like how you think
Michter’s does a pretty solid rye. I haven’t had the sour mash.
Willet’s Rye is just amazing if you can find a bottle.
So’s Alberta Premium. Easy to find in Canada, difficult to find in the USA ‘cept in some border states (I’ve seen it in a bunch of places in Washington state from Seattle northwards, ferinstance…).
Hmmm, puts Willet’s Rye on radar…
Best liquor (US) I’ve bought in the last year is Colonel E.H. Taylor small batch. Better than Blanton’s in my opinion.
Its good. i think bartenders used to tell me michter’s was to regular rye as Hendricks was to regular gin: neither fish nor fowl, sort of its own thing.
i’m referring to the green-label stuff. it has a unique, sort of sour aftertaste which is quite good by itself sometimes.
So I had some fun with my 2017 taxes. I get to pay an extra 9K for having the audacity to get married. I tried talking the wife into a divorce to save money. She was not sold on the idea.
What? How the hell does that work? I got double the deduction for being married.
Because we both work and have no dependents.
Crikey. I haven’t noticed any difference when we’ve both been working. Maybe you guys are in the .000001% bracket.
If you look at the brackets, they don’t double for filling jointly. It’s like 160,000 for single or 186,000 for joint. That’s where they getcha.
I don’t itemize, so not sure if that’s it, but mine has has always been lower after I got married.
Don’t forget the AMT which also does not scale properly for marriage.
Also if you have kids you are not giving up 2 individual deductions, you are giving up 1 individual and 1 head of household or even 2 head of household deductions.
Luckily for me If I had solid numbers on what the marriage penalty we are paying is my wife would divorce me in a minute. We’d still be together of course, just not as far as Uncle Sam is concerned.
Graph that shows effects of marriage on tax burden
It’s only a benefit when you have widely disparate incomes.
Well, if you had a workhouse full of orphan labourers like a proper Libertarian you would have had plenty of persons to claim as dependents.
True.
*Hands over monocle*
Don’t forget to rip off your own epaulets!
Tell her you’ll take her on a nice vacation with the money you save.
Did you tell her she’s gets half of everything?
She gets half now. I wouldn’t leave her, just burn the government part of our marriage.
You could lie
Both have to sign. In my state anyway.
Thank you for subsidizing my solar panels and children!!!!
Not anymore. It’s trump’s America now. The rich get richer!
Oh, I’m definitely getting a 30% federal tax credit this year for the solar panels.
I’m using the electricity you paid for to power my laptop right now. And to chill my beer.
Thanks again!
Solar panels are communist. Actually I looked into it and because FL has some of the cheapest energy rates the ROI is 30 plus years even with credits. Unless they’ve gotten significantly cheaper in the last 6 years.
Depends. I looked at a 20 year finance plan and it was a wash, but you’re paying 4% on the financing. It works out so you never pay an electric bill during that time, but you have no equity in the panels at the end because they are end of useful life. If I paid cash, my ROI is about 11 years. But the Vivant guys didn’t have batteries and you had to have a connection to the grid for it to work. If the grid goes down, your power goes out.
Yeah, the “island” inverters are a bit more expensive.
What a coincidence! I LIVE in a state run by communists!
They’re building a solar farm on the hill across from my house. Fucking eyesore.
It’s 5 o’clock, and I just got back from having my elderly cat euthanized. Both good reasons to drink.
Feel free to join me in toasting the passing of Sassafrass.
Sorry, Hayek. Did that a few years ago and it absolutely sucks. Here’s to your kitty!
Had to be done, but I still cried. And I’m crying now. 18 years is a helluva run for a kitty.
That’s a pretty good run. Aged to perfection!
*Refrains from cremation joke*
Cheers to Sass. May she have all the mice in Kitty Heaven!
I inadvertantly tee up pun opportunities all the time. Makes it too easy for Mr Splosives.
Poor kitty was already frail, but in the past two weeks she has shown signs of being in pain too, like pushing her face against the back of the couch and into the crook of my elbow. She was down to 6 pounds (last year she was 8 pounds), was dehydrated, has thrown up every day for the past week, had diarrhea, and that’s just what I saw. The doc said her gums were pale (true) and had me listen to her hear–“a galloping arrhythmia” he called it, and noted a few other issues.
We said we knew she had taken a turn for the worse and had brought her in to see if we should let her go naturally or if we should hurry it up. He said he could run all kinds of tests and find out exactly all what was wrong, but that he thought it was time for her to go, as she had multiple issues and was in pain.
He didn’t even have to give the full dose of euthanasia. She was out in 2 seconds. Ready to go, poor thing.
Still sad though.
Drink and remember. The Irish do it right.
i’m 16% Irish, so that much of me will do it right.
I have an Irish name. I’ll join you.
Mine are showing visible signs of creakiness. Kind of like me.
Shocking thing was my kittah Molly McCalico is 8 yrs old, and they asked if we wanted the Geriatric Checkup that they start doing at 8+. I would never have thought of her as geriatric. She’s my precious baby kitten in my eyes.
Mine are around 11 or 12. Guess I have a few more years.
*Pours one out for catsplosives*
IMO, it’s harder to lose a good cat than a good dog. You have to work for a good relationship with a cat, whereas it comes naturally for dogs.
Oh hell yeah. The difference between when I got them around 10 years ago and now is like night and day, in terms of their relation to me – especially for one of them. As in practically afraid of me for the first couple years to the point where I thought they might be ferals. Now they’re the sweetest, friendliest things ever. The really stand-offish one developed a habit out of nowhere a couple years ago of always jumping up to cuddle with me when I lie down on the sofa for a nap. They just never stop surprising me.
catsplosives—I like it.
Sounds like a good kitty.
She was. Very social and curious. Never a hider-under-the-bedder.
Seriously, that’s the main reason why I don’t get another dog or cat for a pet. Stings for a long time when the go.
Same, even if I didn’t live in a no-pets apartment, I can’t imagine having another dog. Even though nearly 20 years passed…
Best cure for the sting is another dog.
Um , Teufulhund Wants a Bite of your Shoes, Bro, She Stings
Yup. These dogs are my last.
Putting down your pets is some rough shit. We had to put down one of our cats two years ago and it stung for a long time. What made it even worst was that the other cat was depressed for a while because they have been together since they were kittens. I told my wife that after Taffy dies, I’m done with animals because fuck this shit, but then we got another cat from PAWS in Chicago a couple months later.
We’re getting a cockatoo next month. The kid deserves a pet and those birds are awesome.
Sorry to hear that.
My wife (then fiance) and I had to put down one of our cats and it was one of the hardest things I had to do. The cat got sick but she got a little better but than two months later, the cancer increased in size and by the time, the only humane thing to do was put her down. My wife was a mess, (she had the cat since her sophomore year of college, so for 11 years) so I had to hold back tears to comfort her. Luckily she took the day off from work, but I went straight into the office after dropping her off at home and felt shitty.
Sucks, doesn’t it? I kind of expected this outcome before we walked in, but it still sucks.
My wife (then fiance) and I had to put down one of our cats and it was one of the hardest things I had to do.
Yeah they bite and scratch pretty hard when you’re holding them under water.
Or… Too soon?
Pours another Mitchers, neat, takes another swig of beer, to Sassafrass!
Cheers!
Condolences, I feel your pain, I love cats and have had several pass way. That always sucks.
Sorry about your loss. I’m sure you both brought each other great joy.
Yup. I am sitting on the couch where I always work on my laptop, and her folded plushy blanket is still right next to me where she always sat beside me as I absent mindedly petted her. But she’s not on it.
My Bella sleeps on the same Chair as my last Dog, Dubz, it’s weird sometimes when i look over and see the wrong Dog
I’m sure it will take me a while to quit looking for her absentmindedly.
Poor kitty. I have an elderly lady cat. It’s going to gut me when she goes.
My Kittah is 18 this year, it’s not going to be easy when she Goes
I’m Sorry to hear, Cheers To Sassafras!
I am sorry to hear that ‘Splosives. I feel your pain.
Thanks, y’all.

That is a fluffy kitty!
A rag doll kittah! But she was a bag of bones under the fluff by then. Still pretty with those blue eyes and dark eyeliner.
Wow. Pretty cat.
Really sorry, J. Been there, done that, have the scars.
They’re still so worth it, though.
Yeah, I am not one of the “I’m never doing that again–too much pain!” kind of people.
Splains why I am on marriage #3. 😀 Some would have given up by now.
I had pet rats in college, and they only make it to 2 or 3 years tops, but I loved ’em.
Life’s an adventure, and it includes love and loss. I’ll take both.
18 years for kitteh? That’s a great lifespan.
None of my dogs have made it past age 12. Ever. Doesn’t seem to matter how much vet care we throw at ’em. :-/
I think that’s pretty typical for dog and cat lifespans.
Oh, I’m so sorry.
Thanks.
It’s hard to say goodbye. So sorry to hear it. I’ll be toasting some hooch in the cats honor!
Funny thing: she needed to drink a lot of water due to her kidney issues, and she liked to see what I was drinking. One night she drank my Rum and Diet Coke. I thought she’d hate it and leave it alone, but she kept going. I wasn’t going to argue.
Man, that brings fond memories of my cat Calvin (his brother was named Hobbes). Calvin loved sipping my coffee (black) and my vodka martinis. When they were kittens, they were terrorized by toddlers, so Calvin & Hobbes never liked kids. When a kid showed up, would run for safety, but Calvin always stood his ground and defended himself. Eventually Calvin reached old age, had a huge lump in his shoulder that must have been cancer, and when it got to the point of affecting his life quality (eating became hard – guess cancer spread to his jaw), I put him down. I found a really nice mobile vet, to save him the terror of a drive to a vet. Unfortunately, it was also my birthday. 🙁
So sorry to hear of your loss – it always stings.
Sorry to hear that Hayek. My parents just euthanized their dog a couple hours ago.
18 years sounds like a good life! Here’s to Sassafrass.
Something all pet lovers have to consider eventually (well most pet lovers do). It sucks, but at least we can make those decisions and ease the suffering of the pet. They trust us, and it’s encumbent on us to take care of them.
Sorry to hear about Sassafras. I just raised my paper-sack wrapped 40 oz and exclaimed “à votre santé” in honor.
Sorry to hear about your kitty, I’ll drink a root beer in honor of Sassafrass.
I am so sorry. I hate that our animal companions leave us so soon.
I’ll toast Sassafrass and all the Glibs’ departed pets this evening.
Awww, so sorry. But thanks for the links to the photos. We’ll toast her tonight for sure.
I’m so sorry for you HS. I’m at work now, but I’ll raise a Drink to your Noble Feline ASAP.
Look at this way: At least you didn’t have your brand new cat euthanized.
*raises hand* Two simultaneously. Actually one of them was already dead when I got home. Got them from a city-run “shelter”. Guess where I didn’t go ever again.
Sorry to hear about your loss. My cat passed away suddenly a few years back and I don’t think the hole he left will ever fill in completely. When his sister goes, I’ll be inconsolable.
Here’s to Sassafrass!
Sorry to hear that.
Sorry to hear. We had to put down our “Little Buddy” last year. Never thought I’d like a small dog but our Shih Tzu, Tai-Pan, changed my mind. Not a yapper but brave for a guy his size and the most intelligent dog that I’ve ever had.
Still miss him.
SOTU drinking game

i’m not watching the fucking thing. saving myself for Maxine
That’s not a game. That’s premeditated suicide!
I try to watch the SOTU but usually after ten minutes, I am yelling at the television or going on some rage rant towards my wife about some bullshit the President said.
Maxine?
Do you have something or someone on hand to hate fuck?
http://thehill.com/homenews/house/371002-maxine-waters-will-respond-to-trump-after-state-of-the-union
i’m so looking forward to it.
This is gonna be great. That lady is probably one of the dumbest people in Congress today but yet the Democratic leadership wants her to respond to Trump’s State of the Union.
She reminds me of this woman at church who always talks but rarely make any sense. Out of politeness you just nod your head and smile, but as soon as you walk away, you’re wonder, “What the fuck was that?”
i doubt that.
i think she says crazy shit and black people just love it because ‘talking crazy’ is the sort of thing they admire in politicians.
*its why they like trump too. it makes all the black politicians have to up their crazy-talk game tho.
What do you suppose are the odds they avoid the subject of historically low black unemployment and instead spend the entire time saying “Racist!”

“Naw. I’m thinking Maxine would work better.”
The brain trust at the DNC is amazing.
Just thinking about Sassafrass. Death is the enemy, folks. I like Peter Thiel’s take. “I’m against it”. Yeah, I’m one of those futurist tech geek dreamers. I know we’re universally hated, but so are libertarians, so no unfamiliar territory I’m suffering here. Never deny who you are or what you believe in.
“The last enemy to be destroyed is Death.”
— I Corinthians 15:26
Doesn’t matter whether you’re a believer or not, the apostle Paul nails it here.
Absolutely, I was trying to think of that, but I couldn’t quite pull it from memory, even thought I’ve probably heard it a thousand times.
I’m going to add my own.
“The first enemies to be destroyed are Luddites, Malthusians, and Progs. Not necessarily in that order”.
Paul is one of those guys I’d choose in a “who would you go back in time to meet and listen to (assuming no language barrier)? Paul, Ben Franklin, and a handful of others.
Jefferson for me, definitely. And Franklin.
I suspect Saul of Tarsus would actually be a fairly weird d00d. He lived an “interesting” life, which is saying something considering he lived it in the first-century Roman Empire.
大往生. Dai, Ou, Jyo. It’s also used as a phrase to indicate some had a full life. Its a great way of looking at it.
Yeah, I dig that. I have no interest in living forever.
I don’t think anyone has an issue with that. I don’t think anyone is interested in forcing anyone else to live forever. I just cannot even comprehend in my wildest imagination ever running out of things to discover or do.
A long-term goal of mine is to engineer a Methuselah virus and release it into the wild.

I’ve been randomly vaguely remembering it and asking/searching about it for 20 years. It came up this weekend while I was asking SugarFree about something else and I found a forum lamenting it was never turned into a series.
I watched it for the first time in 20 years this weekend and kinda think it would’ve hit the same niche as SG-1 really well.
I get it. I just mean the ability to go out at peace.
Of course.
Since I believe in an afterlife, i am perfectly content to be “middle aged” as in, I am halfway through my natual life on earth. OK with me.
Me neither. I just wanna live until I’m tired of life and will welcome its end. On my terms, not death’s.

Death stalks you at every turn!
I have that same tattoo
https://youtu.be/wu1UXCdyNo0
A relatively young colleague died unexpectedly over the weekend. Death grabbed my wife’s hand at 29, but let her go just in time. I’ve been concerned lately about something happening to me and leaving my kids behind…just kind of hovering in the back of my mind. I already have a will, but it prompted me to get off my ass and write down a list of our assets/debts and where to find them for my wife because she would be completely lost if something happened to me.
I plan on being here for a long time, but damn if it can’t happen in the blink of an eye. I like that phrase Dai, Ou, Jyo. Dying as an elder should be a cause for celebration of a full life and opportunities filled.
Passed by a funeral home sign that had a man’s name on it, the dates he lived (he was 85) and simply “Well done.”
I’m in for some sort of immortality. Screw the natural order. What has it ever done for me?
fermentation?
It hasn’t done jackshit for you. And I challenge anyone who’s for it. If someone doesn’t like life extension through technology, then stop having those meds and operations that are keeping you alive. A few thousands years ago the vast majority of us died in our 20s. So why is living to 80 somehow ok and living to 1000 isn’t? And it’s not about living to 1000 as as a senile old fuck, no one wants that, it’s about extending healthy lifespan. Shit, I’m 58 and I’m just getting warmed up, get the fuck out of my way.
I’m going for the Cylon route if I make it long enough, Put My Brain in a Starship and send me off
I’ll get in there with you, Yusef, I’m sure we’ll have plenty of Glib talk along the way.

60 in four months, and I’m still trying to decide what I wanna be when I grow up. “Get the fuck out of my way,” indeed!
I’d be down with quasi-immortality, as long as we fix the memory issues. Seeing as the longer we live the more compressed the passing of time becomes. I imagine after a thousand years our perception we be going so fast that we wouldn’t be able to enjoy it.
Not necessarily. If your memory gets partially “scrubbed” (assuming some sort of chemical purge), possibly with a non-organic augmentation which would allow you to access previously-backed-up “deep memories” (say, over 100 years in the past), your perception of the passage of time might be no different than the average 20-year-old.
I like that idea. Or have external memory storage. Instant recall and unlimited access but limited to what you want to remember.
I was listening to Spotify today
Just realized: We’re coming up on the first glib-a-versary, right? Or has it already passed?
Is there going to be a ceremony? Will there be awards? Can we get politicians to give grandstanding speeches?
Perhaps our equivalent to The Powers That Be could just send out a tweet.

Ummm, I don’t think we were planning on doing anything using the Glibertarian accounts…

I think we have more than three leches here.

Watching “What happened in Vegas” on Amazon Prime…..I’m only 15 minutes in but it’s good if you want your night to end by screaming at the TV in rage. It’s about the rampant corruption and bloodthirsty culture of the LVMPD. This is of particular interest to me because I used to live in that shithole and I was often cautioned by long time residents to be wary of the cops there. They are talking about the Eric Church shooting which was one of the milestones along my path to libertarianism. They are going to tie this in the the massacre at some point…..I’m interested to see where this goes
When was it released?
It says 2017, it’s gotta be pretty new because they referenced the massacre and some of the obvious obviscation of the investigation in the intro
*Eric Scott not Eric Church
In a land called Montgomery County, Ohio, an officer was caught on video illegally pepper spraying a retrained inmate. I’m sure you know how this ends, right?
Pepper sprayer: Never punished by the sheriff’s office. Indicted for misdemeanor. Allowed to retire on “disability”, with full benefits.
Person who leaked the video of the pepper sprayer: Fired.
Hi there! That’s my local news.
Its a blue line, and someone stepped over. Duh.
OK Glibs, unusual question: have any of you ever had orthognathic surgery before and if so, was it worth it?
Up until I was 18 I had a perfect bite. Due to excess production of HGH, my jaw continued to grow for 10 more years. I now have a class 3 underbite that I’ve lived with mostly because it doesn’t cause any cosmetic issues or pain. However, my dentist recently recommended I look into the surgery because my teeth have started to grind down in unsavory ways. If I don’t get it fixed, he thinks I’ll have to get dentures in another 10-20 years. Thoughts?
So, the HGH caused only your jaw to grow, and thats it?
/Mark McGwire
Endogenous HGH, this was before my better living through chemistry days.
Nice Dogs
Thoughts?
Yikes. Seriously, first thought. But if it helps you avoid major dental issues when you’re older (flashing back to when my mom had “deep cleaning” which went disastrously wrong and required her to go full dentures on the upper and partial on the lower…)
I’ve never had a cavity….I got nuthin.
Today I got to work at Fox Studios in L.A. ,very cool place, I got in and immediately got lost, driving through movie sets and vaguely familiar Block/storefront stuff, and When I found I was working on the Orville Production lot, I was too busy for pictures, but I got these,

V. cool.
It actually was V, and a 4 hour drive for 15 minutes of work
Heh. Love that show, even though they’re still working out the kinks.
Obligatory: fuck Star Trek: Discovery. With a chainsaw. Up the bum. In Hell. Forever.
I don’t really watch too much TV anymore, but I like going to cool places to do my thing, and they all Love me!
/ they really, really love me!
I haven’t bothered with discovery. I’m working through DS9 and watching Razorfist’s youtube reviews as they come out.
^ this, RF kills it with his Commentary, Who has that show available to stream?
Hulu and Netflix
Free Hulu or premium?
I’m not sure, free in think, but I pay for mine.
Enjoy, if it’s new to you. Best TV Trek there is.
It’s probably my 3rd or 4th pass through DS9. I’ve never watched it beginning to end before, so I may have missed an episode or two. (I didn’t remember the pilot, for example)
I watched it all back when it was new, but 20 years makes it fresh I hope.
i just got a Splash warning from “time Warner” that all my CC info has been compromised, along with passwords etc.
Except TWC doesn’t exist, it’s Frontier and has been for 2 years, should I worry?
What is that, an email? Hover over the links and see if it’s spam.
My Time Warner is now “Spectrum”. So yeah I would be wary of that.
I hard crashed my machine, rebooted the routers, everything seems fine. I think it was spam
/ I crashed the machine on purpose, not the Spam thingy
I torrented a TV show from another country, and didnt use a VPN. I rarely go in “bareback”, but…..
72 Hours later I get a nasty email from spRECTUM warning me about “downloading copyrighted material.”
I was stunned. Someone was actually paying attention.
Hey SF, if you’re still stalking this thread, hit me up glibbest (dot) rick at gmail. I have an idea but I wanted to run it past you first.
