    That’s horrible.

    That pic in the hospital… I got something in my eye.

    In happier, small yellow sportsball news, congrats to Team USA at the Davis Cup.

    1. I’m not a fan of serve and serve tennis, so I’m not the biggest Isner fan.

      1. Rhywun

        It is a little ridiculous. But it seems to be working for him.

  3. Waterfall Insurance

    Really sad.

  4. Gordilocks

    Does STEVE SMITH have any relatives in the woods north of Prince Albert to send as emissaries to Humboldt?

    1. mr simple

      Haven’t they suffered enough?

  5. Anyone familiar with the levels of wokeness memes? ie. https://imgur.com/r/BrainMemes/rDj39zl ? I wanna do something similar in my next vid but I need the original images (or some of them).

    1. I scrolled down and enjoyed the “not making memes” one.

      I liked the Xanax/PGP meme.

    Repost from morning thread, because more people need to know Crusader Kings 2 is free.

    This weekend, Crusader Kings 2 is free on Steam. I recommend it highly – and if you want full Libertarian experience, get Way of Life DLC to seduce all teh bitches, and Patrician to run a plutocratic merchant republic, with your bastard children manning your many many trade posts.

    But, because we need The Purge, retard decided to retard. Not notable, except it’s Newsweek, not Polygon or Kotaku or another place that should be Pol Potted.

    ‘CRUSADER KINGS 2’ USED ALT-RIGHT BATTLECRY TO PROMOTE FREE STEAM DOWNLOAD

    Paradox Interactive, publisher of PC grand strategy game Crusader Kings 2, says it has “no tolerance for racist or nationalist organizations” after it faced criticism for using a battlecry of the “alt-right” in a tweet to promote a free download.

    The Latin expression— Deus Vult or “God wills it”—originated in 1095 in the time of the Crusades, but in recent years has become better known for its use in memes shared by far-right internet trolls and has even been used in alleged Islamophobic vandalism. It has been heavily adopted by Reddit’s “TheDonald” community.

    We need more mass shootings, not fewer.

      Uh… OK, if you say so.

      1. Pan Zagloba

        Well, it is quite a meme, yes – because of the game!!!

        And to be fair, you do get racists use it, much like related “remove kebab” meme – but it’s about on the level of “drink milk” and “OK sign”. Slightly below “reading books” in retardedness.

        1. Rhywun

          much like related “remove kebab” meme – but it’s about on the level of “drink milk” and “OK sign”

          I guess I don’t follow memes. Or the MSM that would explain them to me.

          1. Pan Zagloba

            Remove kebab meme, AKA reminder of why I got the fuck out of there.

          2. Heroic Mulatto

            I really can’t follow any of that.

        2. Heroic Mulatto

          Let’s ignore the fact that you can play Muslim (or Jewish, or Buddhist, or Hindu, or Animist, or Pagan, or Aztec, etc.) empires in the game and take over Europe.

          1. Pan Zagloba

            “let’s ignore the fact” seems to be the starting premise of most journalism these days….

            My favorite too.

    7. CK2 is the absolute shit! I found its learning curve slightly steeper than Europa Universalis, much easier than Victoria, probably on par with Hearts of Iron. HoI introduced me to Paradox’s grand strategy games, EU hooked me, but CK2 is the one that taught me how to play them, i.e. don’t try to “win”, just let the sim wash over you and enjoy it. What I love about the game is that you just pick somebody and get by. Once you understand that you’re playing a family, not a country, it all starts to make sense. In my most recent game I’m working on creating Poland, and my current duke is a slow-witted, doughy second son who lucked into inheritance and has just happened to do all the right things and have everything go his way, investing in building up the infrastructure in his lands and trying to do right by his subjects. There’s a role-playing aspect that you don’t get as much in the other games that makes CK really different and fun.

    What in the ever loving fuck.

    From Buzzfeed’s article on the Backpage takedown

    The notice on Backpage’s homepage lists the Texas Attorney General’s office as a participating agency. Sex worker Christi Long, 28, told BuzzFeed News she had been arrested at a hotel south of Austin in a sting operation and interrogated about Backpage the night before the site was taken down. Police had responded to an ad she posted on the site, she said.

    “They asked me ‘Do you believe that Backpage is used for sex trafficking?’” Long said. “I told them sex workers use it. I said it was better they find victims of sex trafficking on Backpage than dead in a ditch, which is where they’ll find them now that it’s gone.”

    “They responded, ‘Then Backpage needs to be taken down. We will always be there to find them,’” Long said.

    The government is still refusing to say anything about it, or about the indictment, or why they seize the site, or anything.

    1. Gordilocks

      Dead camel herders here, dead prostitutes there, a couple thousand dead US servicemen all over, dead dogs by the boatload ….

      The state piles up dead bodies, that’s what it does.

    2. Rhywun

      We will always be there to find them,

      Right next to the drug OD’s.

    3. Pope Jimbo

      4chan should troll this by starting a rumor that hookers are using newpaper classified ads to find johns. They are coding their services in the Apts for rent section.

      1BR means BJ only. 2BR is sex and 3BR is anal. You don’t even want to know what a 1/2 bath means.

      I’m sure it wouldn’t be hard to convince some local TV news stations that it is real. They love them some moral panics.

      The result would be that cops would shut down the classifieds for the last few papers and people actually renting apartments would get some awesome calls.

      1. westernsloper

        A 3BR is not necessarily anal. A 3BR is two in the pink one in the stink and it doesn’t count as anal if you stop at the first finger joint. For it to be anal the sizes of the bedroom must be listed with large bedrooms indicating second or third penetration willing which indeed takes it to anal. First knuckle is just foreplay and possibly role playing which is also listed in classifieds as, “a nice patio for entertaining.”

      2. Chafed

        That’s great! I bet it would work too.

    Is going braless the new tide pod?

    Was she embarassed before or after running to the media?

    Am I “attacking” a child?

    1. Eating Tide pods is stupid. Showing off your perky breasts, not so much. So no.

    4. Pope Jimbo

      It better not be. My 17 year old son is already living a golden life. He’s already surrounded by hot teenage girls in yoga pants. If the girls decide that the new edgy look is to go braless in thin shirts, I am going to kill myself out of envy.

      Worse, what if the progs get smart and throw Hogg and Buzzcut under the bus and replace them with braless teens in yoga pants. When those spokegals start giggling and saying they don’t like guns, how many of us will be able to resist?

      1. Pan Zagloba

        Hmm…will a movement with lots of middle-aged women in it use younger, hotter women to get attention?

        Fuck no, the feminist crowd will tear them apart.

    No word yet on the driver of the truck involved in the hockey team collision, other than that he’s been ‘released’.

    Speaking at the news conference on Saturday, RCMP Saskatchewan Assistant Commissioner Curtis Zablocki revealed new details about the crash and the investigation.

    He said the male driver of the semi-trailer was not injured and, although he was detained temporarily after the collision, he has now been released.

    Zablocki said it was too early to comment on the cause of the collision, but he confirmed the semi-trailer was travelling westbound on Highway 335 when it collided with the bus travelling northbound on Highway 35.

      Uffda. That is the second link I’ve fucked up today. I wish I had an acceptable excuse, but I don’t. Maybe the fact that I’m still sober?

        “Rape game” sounds like one or two miscreants. If anyone tried this horseshite when I was a boy they’d have been harmed. And when I say “harmed” mean get the shit kicked out of them.

    2. Rhywun

      Descriptions of this so-called “game” vary, but involve turning off the lights, typically in a locker room, running around and trying to stick fingers up others’ butts or poking them in the butt through clothes with fingers or objects. […] According to the report, Godfrey said there would be supervision in the locker rooms to address the situation. However, at the Jan. 19 game, junior varsity players were in the locker room unsupervised, the report states.

      They need an adult hanging around to tell HS athletes not to sodomize each other in the locker room? W.T.F.

      1. According to the sadly now-defunct gaijinsmash.net, it’s apparently been popular in Japan since about 2001. I guess you get extra points if you’re a middleschooler and you can achieve penetration on your 6’4″ African-American English teacher.

        1. straffinrun

          Lot longer than that.

          1. Rhywun

            Assuming the above story actually happened…. I wonder what makes this pop up in certain times and places. It most certainly was not a thing in my HS.

          2. CPRM

            Does that make you happy or sad?

          3. Rhywun

            Profoundly happy.

      1. Rufus the Monocled

    4. straffinrun

      I shared a similar moment with a kid that was around seven. We were at J Mart (Japanese version of K Mart). I was walking around the pet section and saw him staring at the a little monkey. Couldn’t believe they sold monkeys, so I walked over and saw the monkey in his little glass enclosure. Stroking furiously his pecker. I looked down at the kid and he looked back at me and smiled. We shared a moment despite our language barrier.

      1. Libertesian

        How much did the monkey cost?

        1. straffinrun

          No idea. I wasn’t going to buy it. Didn’t want to lose my deposit. *Rimshot*

            You don’t have to be a jerk-off about it.

      2. straffinrun

        Those martinis last night destroyed my grammar.

        1. Stinky Wizzleteats

          Yeah, it was a little difficult to figure out who exactly was stroking furiously his pecker. I assume it was the monkey?

      From the comments

      ‘Pol Memes David Hogg is a 21 year old crisis actor… He wasn’t present at the Parkland event! He is a paid for actor by the people who want to destroy the constitution of the USA! If you believe anything that this slime ball David Hogg says, I’m sorry but you are a fool… He needs too be punished for treason and bearing false witness!!! I’d like too have five minutes alone locked in a small room with him myself, and show him what true pain is all about!!! And yes I have no fear of a one on one with this slime ball David Hogg!!! Can you make my wish come true??? I’ll be waiting for a reply???’

      lol?!

      Yep. Another reminder for me to give my daughter a big hug. Devastating for the families.

    2. westernsloper

      I heard about it on the drive to work this morning. Huge downer to start a shitty day.

  20. Juvenile Bluster

    Well this is terrifying.

    NEW DELHI — Seeking to build an identification system of unprecedented scope, India is scanning the fingerprints, eyes and faces of its 1.3 billion residents and connecting the data to everything from welfare benefits to mobile phones.

    Civil libertarians are horrified, viewing the program, called Aadhaar, as Orwell’s Big Brother brought to life. To the government, it’s more like “big brother,” a term of endearment used by many Indians to address a stranger when asking for help.

    For other countries, the technology could provide a model for how to track their residents. And for India’s top court, the ID system presents unique legal issues that will define what the constitutional right to privacy means in the digital age.

    1. CPRM

      Well, all the support will be done by canuks who claim their name is Rajid, with an accent the locals can’t understand. So it won’t get very far.

    2. Not an Economist

      This is even more scary because it is happening in the US.

      I guess you can stick the fork in the US. We’re done.

      1. Rhywun

        I’m pretty confident that little commie’s bill won’t even pass but if it does I think SCOTUS might have something to say about it.

          1. Rufus the Monocled

    Watching coaches and players from Saskatchewan like Babcock and McLellan react crying was brutal.

    1. Juvenile Bluster

      Coaches’ Corner was also brutal. https://streamable.com/x3bhz

      1. Rufus the Monocled

        I know. Saw it. Just brutal.

        Of course, ‘Wheat Kings’ by The Tragically Hip. Appropriate.

        1. Rufus the Monocled
          1. Rufus the Monocled

            I had forgotten it was about David Milgaard. What a travesty of justice that was.

            This song is an example why the Hip were such a massive phenomena in Canada. They were a band that spoke and sang about Canadiana like few bands ever did.

          2. Rufus the Monocled
          3. Gustave Lytton

            ormer prime minister (then justice minister) Kim Campbell devotes a chapter to Milgaard. In it she says one of the main reasons for the delay in acting on the request to reopen his case was because Milgaard’s lawyers kept adding new documentation to the file, thereby slowing down the start of her review.

            Because she can’t start reviewing the file and then the addendum as they’re added? What a POS and a POS excuse for her behavior.

          4. Rufus the Monocled

            For real. You had ONE job: Justice Minister.

            And you let this happen?

          5. Festus

            Huge fan of the first 5-6 albums and then lost interest. My brother is a musician and stated that they weren’t much more than a bar band except for Gordon Downey. I still listen to a few tunes on full rotation. To me, The Hip are the ultimate sitting around the campfire getting quietly pissed on a fishing trip soundtrack.

          6. Rhywun

            I vaguely remember hearing them on CFNY in my college years but nothing sticks in my mind.

          7. Rufus the Monocled

            I think he’s probably right. Which explains why they never really made inroads in the USA. But they did make some memorable songs. ‘Up to Here’ was just pure high energy and I saw them live during that tour back in the 80s. Downey was out of his mind wild. I really enjoyed four or five of their albums, and like you, they ran their course. I think they were the ultimate university band and, as I mentioned, I think people really took their courage of exploring Canadian themes. Canada has had greater bands and singers, but they left as big a mark on the rock landscape as any.

          8. Rufus the Monocled

            A friend of mine (an American) described them as a poor man’s REM. And he loved Downey.

          9. Festus

      Why is it these dipshit progressives, so absolutely self-assured of their invincible intellects, are such terrible, awful writers? It’s as if they’ve only ever written for progressive professors who were willing to accept cockgobbling lefty essays in lieu of articulate, personal thoughts. Well, more than willing. Insistent. They insisted that their beliefs were cockgobbled by their cockgobbling lefty students. That’s how it seems to me, anyway.

        You guys got Trump, we got Trudeau. Next round we’ll get the same fuck-wit and hopefully you have the sense to keep the Dems out of power for another cycle or two to ensure the Supreme Court doesn’t go full-on Maoist.

Maybe it’s the vodka, maybe it’s that I just did our tax return, maybe it’s hearing that a friend’s middle school kid just got suspended for two weeks for saying, “Show me your titties” to a girl on the school bus, but I’m done. Thank god my dad died before he saw this shit. If they want a fight, they’ve got it. I’m a calm, reasonable person, but I have limits. At a certain point, if you threaten me enough I’ll start taking you seriously.

        Death of a thousand cuts is worse than a swift beheading. They cut once, we cut back.

          Didn’t some popular guy with a posse say something about punching back twice as hard?

    Just saw some vid of the crash scene: wonder anyone survived.

      Humboldt? Yes, there were survivors. 14 dead out of 29 including the captain and coach.

      Witnesses, the first responders, were on scene helping. One guy was on his way to Moose Jaw and held one of the players neck in place until paramedics arrived.

        Yeah, too much whiskey; should have read, it’s a wonder anyone survived. The bus was peeled open.

        1. straffinrun

          Crazy, but sometimes people survive. 520 people died in that and only 4 survived.

          1. Gustave Lytton

            More would have survived if rescue efforts were not delayed.

            Of course, none should have died if the bulkhead had been properly repaired.

            Trying to get a group of ten Japanese to decide on where to eat dinner takes an hour. Can’t imagine how long it takes them to organize a rescue effort.

          3. Number.6

            Take into account how long it’ll take for them to exchange business cards before the planning starts.

            Bow. Receive card with both hands. Bow. Hold up card with both hands. Compliment the paper quality and other small talk. Finally, place card into special case made specifically for biz cards. Bow.

            Me? Takes card with one hand and flips it throw the air with a flick of the wrist. “Don’t card me, Bro.” Actually did that once on a dare from my brother. The dude was horrified.
