  1. Fine….everyone dogged me about about open links yesterday…now the cryptid member of our staff gets links up….early.

    Bah.

    1. Spudalicious

      Seriously? You get the first post and use it to whine about being shown up for your underachieving performance yesterday? ROFL!!!

      1. Underachieving?! You see how little people read the links, and go OT immediately. I try to help, just once…and I get this instead! Bah!

        1. Spudalicious

          *snicker*

        2. You went off topic immediately. :-p

    2. I thought you were both ZARDOZ and STEVE SMITH.

    3. DEG

      And the second and third link are the same.

    4. He better get used to getting up early. We’ve got a busy campaign season ahead.

      Vote Animal/STEVE SMITH 2020!

    5. Gustave Lytton

      Swiss ichiban!

      I approve of this gif.

      1. DEG

        This one and the “Gift of the One” gifs are my favorite “First!” gifs.

        1. C. Anacreon

          But how did a cartoon character get breast implants?

  2. Raven Nation

    3rd link = same as 2nd link

    1. Count Potato

      Well, I posted the third link in the last post.

      1. C. Anacreon

        Next verse, same as the first!

        I’m Henry the…..

      1. leonadasiv

        The comments gave me cancer.

    2. STEVE_SMITH

      STEVE SMITH SAY THANK YOU. HIM IN HURRY – THINK EXTRA TOUR BUS IN AREA. SO HIM HURRY LINKS. TURN OUT FALSE ALARM. JUST SUV TURNING AROUND AT TRAILHEAD. STEVE SMITH GO GIVE DIRECTIONS. BY GIVE DIRECTIONS, MEAN RAPE.

    3. DEG

      And now you and I look like we’re crazy.

      1. Only now?

    4. straffinrun

      #Metoo. Love Jimmy Deans.

  3. Count Potato

    “Florida panhandle braces for impact as Alberto approaches”

    How much fish does that kid eat?

    1. BakedPenguin

      It’s not the intake. It’s the output. Please don’t make me be more specific.

    2. straffinrun

      Don’t know how much, but the “What kind” is filet-O.

    3. Trigger Hippie

      Oye, Oye, Oye!!!

    1. Stinky Wizzleteats

      The Brits seem to like their famous for being famous people even more than Americans do.

      1. DOOMco

        This one weird trick to become a pop culture icon!

    2. Rhywun

      She never would have done something so stunning and brave before Trump was banned from the joint.

      PS. Nice neck tatts, bruh. And by “nice” I mean “I’ll have fries with that”.

      1. Suthenboy

        Didn’t the proggies shut that campaign down? They bring so much joy to the world.

        1. DEG

          Puzder left his CEO position around when Trump nominated Puzder for Secretary of Labor. I don’t remember if Puzder left before or after dropping out of consideration for Secretary of Labor. Puzder’s successor at the company running Carl’s Jr. killed Puzder’s ad campaign and pulled all the ad videos from youtube.

        2. DEG

          I did a little digging because I wasn’t sure I remembered all the details correctly.

          I found this article which claims Puzder leaving had nothing to do with the change.

          I also found this interview with Puzder.

      2. Rhywun

        It’s like Benny Hill and Ivor Biggun got together and made an advert. I like it.

        1. BakedPenguin

          For you, and all the other oldsters around here (including me).

          1. Sargon doing a 142-minute video?

          2. Rhywun

            That’s better. For a moment there I was confused.

          3. BakedPenguin

            WTF? I’m getting very tired of Brave. This is, I hope, what I meant to post.

          4. Count Potato

            Hope springs eternal.

          5. BakedPenguin

            Yeah, done with Brave. Fuck it, I no longer care, I’m going to try to delete Brave off my computer. Piece of shit.

          6. Poor, poor Baked Penguin.

          7. BakedPenguin

            Don’t be even more of an asshole than you usually are, Ted.

          8. trshmnstr

            Brave sucks. I ditched it after a few hours.

          9. I’m sorry I pissed you off. I was just teasing you.

          10. BakedPenguin

            Ted – ok, thanks. You’re often pretty sharp (as in tone), it’s hard to tell when you’re kidding. But I’ll apply my own cream to my butthurt.

            But yeah, Brave sucks balls. (This is written on Opera), also, I’m getting Open Office, because fuck Microsoft. Either put the software on the computer, or fucking just have people buy it, cunts. Don’t put the fucking program symbols on the computer, and then demand personal info and cash to use them.

            I’m about ready to leanr Linux, which would be fitting, given my avatar.

            Also:sorry for the rant. I really, really want a fucking drink.

  4. DOOMco

    Girlfriend, an hour ago while I was finishing shakshuka:
    “Taxes *are* theft, huh?”

    1. CPRM

      What does that mean? Good or Bad?

      1. DOOMco

        I took it well. She’s been moving to libertarian areas. Thanks YouTube.

    1. Suthenboy

      She used to be a little pixie of a thing, didn’t she? Looks like she’s been putting away a few sammiches.

      1. But Enough About Me

        Worse things could happen. Bonus — she’s probably started menstruating again!

        {I’m gonna burn for that one…}

    2. Spudalicious

      Damn, she’s getting fat. I think it’s called “Mariah Carey Syndrome”.

      1. Not Adahn

        DON’T YOU SAY BAD THINGS ABOUT MARIAH!

        1. Spudalicious

          Dude, she was hot for a while, then she turned into a heffer. Shania Twain however, is still a 10. Even if I’m not a big country fan.

  5. straffinrun

    …punching Weinman in the head, then flipping her over with his forearm across her neck before she was subdued with the help of another cop.

    Need to work on that ground and pound, Officers.

    1. Were they screaming “Stop resisting!”?

      1. straffinrun

        Looks like officer badass couldn’t handle little girl and use his mouth at the same time. Glad he didn’t hit her harder, but damn, those punches were pathetic.

        1. Suthenboy

          Very few people know how to really drive one home.

          1. straffinrun

            There was no reason to be punching her from behind like that. Close the space and flatten her out if she gives you her back. Ridiculous.

          2. Suthenboy

            Where is the fun in that? How can you feel like a badass if you dont double up on a woman half of your size?

          3. BakedPenguin

            How can you feel like a badass if you dont double up on a woman half of your size?

            You can double up with two women half your size?

            That’d do it for me, especially since I like petite girls.

          4. Suthenboy

            And the comments are priceless.

            “Black people need to mind their own business”
            “This aint our fight”

            Because the problem is racism, not unaccountable police brutality. All I can say is, enjoy because taking that tack it is never going to end.

          5. straffinrun

            They think they’ll get “justice” by expanding oppression rather than ending it. It really is an immoral tactic.

          6. Gustave Lytton

            Maybe there’s hope. The video poster was retweeting some thin blue line support our cops event a couple weeks back.

          7. Suthenboy

            Immoral but not surprising. Most oppressed people dont care to end oppression, they just want to exchange places with their oppressors. They are angry and want revenge so the wheel keeps turning.

          8. Rufus the Monocled

            The comments are horrifically unwise and immature.

          9. Trigger Hippie

            The key is to size up the punch to end thru the girl’s head, not to it. Silly cop.

      2. DEG

        Yes.

      3. Heroic Mulatto

        Yes, i know I should’ve gave him my name.. I was partly wrong in a way but I was scared;

        No, you shouldn’t have. NJ isn’t a “stop and identify” state, honey.

    2. Heroic Mulatto

      Listen, it’s quite simple: Don’t want to get beat like a thug? Don’t kiss your children on the lips like a thug.

      1. SoberPhobic

        Troiano told local media underage drinking is a problem.

        “I don’t understand why it seems to be that this is a God-given right that they can come here and drink underage,”

        FYTW? Seems to work for the popo

      2. Rhywun

        Nice hatchet-job.

        PS. Don’t get me started with the BS surrounding “underaged drinking”.

        1. Count Potato

          If someone is old enough to have kids, they are old enough to drink.

      3. straffinrun

        Emily Weinman, W/F, 20 years old of Philadelphia was charged with Aggravated Assault on a Police Officer (2 Counts), Aggravated Assault by Spitting Bodily Fluids at/on a Police Officer, Disorderly Conduct, Resisting Arrest, Obstruction and Minor in Possession of Alcohol.

        Clearly guilty with that many charges.

  6. trshmnstr

    I’m drinking a coke zero right now, and I’m amazed that theyre still doing the bullshit “share a coke with Hitler” thing. It was a cute campaign for about 5 minutes, and their 5 minutes were up years ago. No, coca cola, I don’t want to share my coke with a Futbol Fan. Fuck off!

    1. Is it something they only do for the World Cup?

      Go Germany!

      1. trshmnstr

        As far as I know, it is on every single bottle and can for the last 5 years or so.

        1. I don’t drink carbonated beverages, so I wouldn’t know.

          1. straffinrun

            You drink Zero Coke?

          2. *narrows gaze*

      2. You know who else cheered Germany on, against the whole world?

        1. trshmnstr

          Ferrari fans from 1996 to 2004?

        2. Max von Sydow in *Victory*?

        3. Floridaman

          Kaiser Wilhelm II?

        4. Winston

          HL Mencken?

        5. DEG

          Joe Kennedy?

        6. Spudalicious

          The Grand Mufti?

      3. Rhywun

        Oddsmakers are favoring Brazil over Germany. Fuck that.

        1. I don’t think anybody know what Germany’s goalkeeper situation will be.

          1. Rhywun

            Forgot about Neuer.

            Ask Liverpool about the importance of an even minimally competent goalkeeper.

          2. Juvenile Bluster

            🙁

          3. Rhywun

            I’ve given up trying to understand the thinking behind throwing Reina under the bus in return for two keepers who both suck and doing nothing to fix it for years on end.

        2. Rufus the Monocled

          As an Azzurri fan that has to wait this one out with much disgust, I have to cheer against them.

          Sorry.

          1. Rufus the Monocled

            Not that I plan to watch much.

          2. Rhywun

            It won’t be the same for me either without a certain local team to cheer for but it’s still fun to watch.

  7. Gee, the 100 pound 20 year old girl was sure a huge threat to those heroes in blue.

    1. Count Potato

      No need to go past #3.

      1. DEG

        #3 looks like Terri Hatcher.

          1. DEG

            Alison Brie is hot.

    2. DEG

      All good choices.

    3. Spudalicious

      7 and 35.

    1. Count Potato

      I refuse to believe an instagram model could be a herpes infected gold-digger.

    These U.S. Workers Are Being Paid Like It’s the 1980s

    That’s in part because, according to publicly available data from the Labor Department’s Wage and Hour Division, the agency is relying on wage survey data in more than 50 jurisdictions that’s from the 1980s or earlier. Experts said that’s a far cry from what Congress intended when, starting with the Depression-era Davis Bacon Act, it passed a series of laws meant to ensure that private companies contracted for government-backed projects pay their workers at least in the vicinity of what others get for the same work in the same geographic area.

    1. mikey

      Is there anything the government can’t screw up?

      1. SoberPhobic

        Making life miserable?

    2. Rhywun

      Meanwhile in my city everything goes to the most expensive unionized outfits available. “Bidding”… LOL.

    3. Mr Lizard

      “Thanks to a web of loopholes and limits, the federal government has been green-lighting hourly pay of just $7.25 for some construction workers laboring on taxpayer-funded projects”

      Um so ya, keep going

  9. The Late P Brooks

    “While Chief [Robert Regalbuto] finds this video to be alarming, he does not want to rush to any judgment until having the final results of the investigation.”

    She had it coming.

    1. Look at how she was dressed….

  10. F. Stupidity Jr.

    Quick review of Disney Presents Star Wars Presents: Han Solo, A Solo Star Wars Story of Han Solo By Disney:

    1) Is it good or bad?
    Good. It’s the best Disney SW film yet. Granted, a lower bar is hard to imagine

    2) Go see it or not?
    Depends on your attachment to the character. This movie about him did not depict him very well. Most of the other characters
    are solid (one is really stupid), the plot is good enough, and the action is well done. OTOH, there are a couple of third act problems.
    I’m not in any hurry to watch it again.

    Summary: Popcorn flick. It’s a lot less stupid than its immediate predecessors, especially the most recent one.

    1. Heroic Mulatto

      By immediate predecessors, do you mean TLJ or Rogue One?

      1. Heroic Mulatto

        I mean “the most recent one”.

      2. F. Stupidity Jr.

        TLJ

        1. Not Adahn

          TLJ was interesting in that it completely reversed all SW tropes, which made it completely predictable.

          If they hired a non-crappy director for episode IX, this would give them complete freedom.

    2. CPRM

      I’ve given up on them. Says the guy with a life size R2-D2 who re-edited the prequels. That’s how shitty they’ve been.

      1. Not Adahn

        Honestly, I liked Rogue One for being a completely normal Star Wars film in which everybody dies in the end.

        1. Heroic Mulatto

          Jinx.

      2. Heroic Mulatto

        I have to say that I liked Rogue One. It wasn’t perfect, but I liked the tone of the film and it had some cool concepts. Though, I would have removed Saw Gerrera’s partisans and had Erso fall in with an expanded in number Guardians of the Whills. Also, I would have fully committed RO to being the homage to The Dirty Dozen it really is deep down inside.

      3. trshmnstr

        I didn’t hate Rogue One. It’s probably the best non OT movie. I haven’t seen TLJ, but it’s precursor didn’t give me much hope, and everything I hear seems to confirm that it’s a dumpster fire. I probably won’t watch it. Solo, I may watch on Netflix.

        1. Mr Lizard

          Here is how bad TLJ is:

          The premise of Alien 4 where a Ripley-Alien hybrid is cloned from trace DNA leftover from Alien 3 makes 100X more sense than the entire last 2/3 of the plot of TLJ

      4. CPRM

        My problems with Rogue are many; but boil down to two that are the most egregious. I didn’t care about any of the characters, and the continuity was shit in context with the other films.

        I didn’t find any of the characters to be likable, even the robot voiced by the great Allen Tudyck. I didn’t care what happened to them because I didn’t care about them. They were one dimensional and uninteresting.

        Continuity wise, the big one is Vader at the end. Just think, this takes place just before the opening of A New Hope. Vader is a badass with hyped up force powers killing fools left and right, then what 10 minutes to a few days later he is a walking asthmatic that is imposing but not really that super-powered. Also, if you want to take the prequels at face value; not my cuts but the in universe canon, the emperor started building the Death Star after Episode 2 (he gets the plans from those bug guys where this happens), by the end of Episode 3 they are building it already. Jen Irso’s dad wasn’t needed, the bugs designed it, and having him build a flaw in was retarded.

    3. I’m not a big Star Wars fan/nerd even though I should be, as a kid I had the toys and action figures, hell I had the bed sheets, I do not understand how personally some people take this stuff. Lt Fish turned me on to some comic book artist’s you tube channel and for awhile it was pretty cool, he was showing how he draws and composition and that kind of thing. Then this SOLO movie came out and my god you’d think someone screwed his dog. Eighty videos later and he’s still bitching, I don’t get it, if the movie sucks don’t watch it, simple as that.

      1. trshmnstr

        Sci fi is about escapism. If they release a bunch of shit that fucks up the canon or pops the suspension of disbelief, it moves from escapism to storytelling. Most people don’t like their escapist bubble being popped.

        1. I guess I can see why fans might be disappointed I just don’t get the anger, as if they feel they are somehow owed something from the franchise, I’d accept it as a sign of the times with the entitled and snowflakey youth, but these are grown ass men, who are my advanced age, and they are whinging about a fucking movie, I don’t get it.

          1. CPRM

            Anger is the best way to get clicks. Also, with the new Star Wars films or the new Ghostbusters movie or Black Panther and a few others, a political movement was attached. If you didn’t like them it’s only because you’re a sexist or racist according to loud hordes on the internet but not in meatspace, and that also causes a backlash on the internet.

          2. Gustave Lytton

            They made a third Ghostbusters movie? I know Murray, Ackroyd, and Hudson are all getting long in the tooth, but I’m sure they were able to come up with something fun, right?

    4. Not an Economist

      I saw it this morning. To me the movie was less than the sum of it parts. The acting was fine. The story was kind of weak but did fill in the origin story of Han. There are some story elements that don’t quite lineup.

  11. westernsloper

    File under stuff we used to joke about but….: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/05/27/knives-sharp-filing-solution-soaring-violent-crime-judge-says/:

    “I would urge all those with any role in relation to knives – manufacturers, shops, the police, local authorities, the government – to consider preventing the sale of long pointed knives, except in rare, defined, circumstances, and replacing such knives with rounded ends.

    1. CPRM

      The brits would shit their pants over the butcher knives I got from my grandparents, machetes ain’t got shit on them.

      1. Mr Lizard

        Or the cased firearms that my cat is currently sleeping on

      2. Spudalicious

        I’ve got a razor sharp katana in the corner of the bedroom and you could shave with any knife I own.

        1. Not Adahn

          FYI, if you’re interested in tameshigiri, it’s pretty simple once you have basic kinesiology down and a decently sharp weapon.

    2. Spudalicious

      I’ve carried a knife since I was ten. Merry old England has gone around the bend.

    3. mikey

      The Onion should just fold up shop.
      That this clown isn’t just laughed off the stage shows how far the Brits have sunk.

  12. CPRM

    That gif at the top reminds me I downloaded a bunch of Jack’s Links ads to cut a STEVE SMITH edition. With having two jobs, family to take care of and doing Hat and Hair cartoons I don’t know when I’ll get around to it.

    1. MikeS

      If you weren’t here whining you could be working on it. Just sayin’.

      1. CPRM

        Drinking time is not editing time; learned that hard way a few times.

        1. MikeS

          Haha. Point taken.

  13. Not Adahn

    I love you all sooo much!

    1. Not Adahn

      oh goddammit

      / end joke html tags that completely don’t show up

    2. And you love me most of all.

      1. Not Adahn

        Only because I needed a Devil.

    3. MikeS

      I read my horoscope today so I knew you were going to say that.

  14. Rufus the Monocled

    I posted this in SP’s post but that was some Giro. One of the best races I’ve ever seen. What a shame it wasn’t broadcasted.

    Don’t me going on that. The Giro is an epic race and should be shown.

    1. peachy rex

      I can’t recall the last time a race leader cracked as badly as Yates. I was a little skeptical of him – I never really believe that someone can close the deal on a GT until they do – but that was just gruesome.

      Also, what the fuck happened to Quintana? If he doesn’t win in France this year, it’s going to start looking like he’s already past his peak.

      1. Rufus the Monocled

        Yeh, it was quite the collapse. Pinot too. DuMoulin and Pozzovivo stayed strong.

        And there are already ‘asthma’ jokes about Froome.

        1. peachy rex

          Oh yeah, forgot about Pinot’s collapse. Pozzovivo cracked slightly, but at least he recovered enough to manage a good finish.

          Really impressed by Doom – the organisers gave him the absolute minimum of TT miles, and he still came within an ace of winning. Will be interesting to see the GC fights over the next few years with him against pure/semi-pure climbers like Lopez (and maybe Yates, if the speculation that he over-cooked himself in the TT is accurate.)

          1. Rufus the Monocled

            Yup. It’s actually a good field who can challenge him.

  15. Chipping Pioneer

    Enjoy your long weekend, American Glibs!

    1. MikeS

      Hell Yeah! Murica!

      1. Rhywun

        Unfortunately, Britain has a bank holiday tomorrow too.

        1. MikeS

          Those bloody wankers!

  16. Rufus the Monocled

    The best I can explain Italy, and it’s just a guess on my part, is the country is so fragmented and decentralized in its psyche it prevents a national government from gaining perceived legitimacy.

    It’s worse than Spain in that way. Rome and Milan hate each other to the point it comes at the expense of a functional government. In the past, pragmatic voices would sweep in and rule the day at the last second, but I’m seeing little of it. It’s a kind of polarization we sorta see in America and increasingly in Canada.

    I could be wrong but it’s amazing to watch. I don’t know if it’s democracy working as it ought to or just plain dysfunction.

    Yet, the country still manages to exist as a nation-state.

      The tut-tutting from the media (populist! far right!) is certainly interesting. Or tiresome. Little of both.

    I realized something.

    Justin Trudeau inadvertently unleashed Jordan Peterson on the world through his absurd Bill C-16 law.

    Everything happens for a reason they say, eh?

      Sometimes your purpose in life is to be an example to others of what not to do. Thanks JT.

    I watched The Scarlett Letter from 1926. Hi Ted! I looked up a couple of the actors as I generally do whenever I watch old flicks.

    Karl Dane’s wiki entry is depressing.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_Dane

    1. Talkies ruined quite a few people’s careers. 🙁

      1. Rufus the Monocled

        Did they generally go his tragic route?

    1. straffinrun

      Voluntary reparations? Knock yourself out.

      1. Enjoy your free drinks. Also, maybe it’s me, but I would feel like a fraud if I was in a position to go to a happy hour and then drank for free because of all of my ancestral suffering, or whatever. I mean, I’m just sayin’, based on the pics in the article it just looks like a bunch of thots drinking on someone else’s dime, which is basically just every weekend in most bars. It sure didn’t look like anyone there had suffered due to wypipo oppressions.

    Whatcha wanna bet Officer Punchy from the beach video has a girlfriend or two or a wife that has received the same treatment?

    Just a thought that popped in my head. I am off to bed.

    1. westernsloper

      I bet that is a safe bet.

      1. straffinrun

        The wife made a crazy u turn yesterday. “What are you doing!?”, I asked. Of course, 30 seconds later motor cycle cop pulls her over. Absolutely cool guy. You could tell he wasn’t an authority freak. He apologized for the inconvenience as he handed her the ticket which she deserved. 65 bucks. Wish all cops were like that guy.

        1. Rufus the Monocled

          Did you discipline her at home?

          1. straffinrun

            It’s was an illegal u turn, not going up a one way.

        2. Rhywun

          It’s often sobering to see cops in countries other than the US behave like actual human beings.

          1. straffinrun

            I’ve never seen a video of Cops here going ape on a suspect on the street. Maybe they exist, but I haven’t seen it. They’ll railroad you at the station, but that’s another story.

            Bubble Japan. Yuck. I think even they are glad that puppy popped. Not a fan of Beat Takeshi and the other garbage that era produced.

            My experience has been a mixed bag between regular dudes and over compensating a-holes.

    2. AlmightyJB

      “Whatcha wanna bet Officer Punchy from the beach video has a girlfriend or two or a wife that has received the same treatment?”

      But most people believe that they automatically deserve hero status because they put on a uniform. It’s disgusting.

  21. Rufus the Monocled

    I don’t care if someone is resisting, a male officer shouldn’t need to punch a woman like that – even if she was being an idiot.

    Call me old fashioned for expecting this from men.

    1. Your right, Men use to have dignity and understood a personal code of condu… holey shit!.. sideboob at about 35 sec.

      1. Gustave Lytton

        I told everyone this in the last thread when it was first posted. Sheesh.

    2. straffinrun

      If you can’t subdue someone who has no training in, say, wrestling, Jiu Jitsu etc., you shouldn’t be a cop. Raining blows on someone just because you are undertrained is BS and counterproductive.

      1. AlmightyJB

        I don’t think that was a training issue. I think that was a POS pig issue.

        1. leonadasiv

          Gosh i hate police. They fucking suck. Even the friends that i have that are cops are so far up their Ass when it comes to the “police prerogatives”. It’s our modern day Droit du seigneur.

  22. Rufus the Monocled

    Jesus go for two points Celtics. Talk about stubborn.

    1. CPRM

      I agree more teams should go for the two point conversion.

    2. straffinrun

      35 pts, 15 boards, 9 assts. James was a beast the last two games.

      1. Rufus the Monocled

        Er….um…..racist?

      2. Juvenile Bluster

        Without LeBron, this Cavs team is somewhere around 25-57.

        1. straffinrun

          The guy is not interesting at all in the personality dept, but certainly top 5 on the all time list. Best at their peak? Wilt. Best over a career? Bill Russel.

          1. Rufus the Monocled

            James has to be the greatest no? I know Jordan and Russell tend to get the nod but James is nuts.

            Yes. Very self-conscious and boring. And a drama queen.

          2. straffinrun

            Different eras are tough to measure, obviously, so you have to compare against other players on the same era. For that reason alone I go with Wilt at his peak. No one even came close to touching him.

          3. AlmightyJB

            I’m not sure about overall but as a shooter for sure. Insane shots.

    3. Rhywun

      Oh, I missed it. They must be going nuts in CLE based my impressions there earlier this week.

      1. Rufus the Monocled

        Nuts? Is it mosquito season already?

  23. straffinrun

    Is there a gag order on reporting on the gag order of the gag order? Confusing. Just outlaw saying the words “Tommy Robinson” and be done with it.

    1. Juvenile Bluster

      You say his name 3 times and Interpol kicks down your door.

    2. Rufus the Monocled

      It’s fricken INSANE what’s happening in the UK.

      They need some real hard core protests – fast.

      1. Akira

        Protests ring rather hollow when they come from a disarmed citizenry.

      2. AlmightyJB

        I think they need a really strong charismatic leader that knows how to co-opt ancient symbols to rally people behind him.

        1. straffinrun

          Jordan Peterson?

          1. AlmightyJB

            Boom.

  24. westernsloper

    The twitter seems to be alight with outrage about the lost 1500 kids. Didn’t that happen over the past several years? Like over several administrations? Also, we could all be so lucky that the Gov lost track of us. I am having a hard time getting my outrage on about this one, but then again I hate kids.

    1. Gustave Lytton

      Yeah, the next step will be the Feds stop placing illegal alien minors with sponsors, but instead keeps them locked up in a secured facility where there’s multiple checks every day. Somewhere where they could be a concentrated. Like in a camp.

      1. westernsloper

        All kids should go to camp. It is the American way.

      2. AlmightyJB

        OMWC will take care of them.

    2. Urthona

      Also it’s been deliberately misrepresented.

      They didn’t lose any kids.

      They lost track of some kids who had gone to acceptable homes… for their tracking data. Who gives a shit?

      The other one I’ve seen going around is the government is separating kids from their families. Haven’t explored this one yet.

  25. slumbrew

    Glibs, I need your input:

    Mrs. Slumbrew had a minor accident this evening while preparing dinner – the Cuisinart cord got a mite too close to a burner:

    https://imgur.com/a/gkGPDuB

    “No problem!”, says I – I’ll just pop it open and replace the cord. Taking a look inside, the two wires of the power cord are each crimped into two other wires:

    https://imgur.com/a/JCjLZkr

    (the small white & black are the power cord).

    Am I a bad person for choosing to just cut out the melted few inches of cord, crimping on some barrel splices & covering it with some heat-shrink tubing vs. replacing the whole cord? Would RAH himself kick me in the nuts for being such a slacker? The relatively lack of slack in the internal wiring has me concerned it’ll turn into a much bigger project if I screw up even a little.

    1. mikey

      The electrons won’t know part of the cord has gone missing.

      1. slumbrew

        I know, it’s more a pride-of-work, aesthetics argument for replacing the whole cord.

        1. Gustave Lytton

          I’d just cut the original cord wiring before it hits the three way splice with enough slack for a pigtail and splice the new cord there. Used another crimp closed end connector like the three way is using. I think a butt splice is going to take up up too much room.

          1. Stagger the splices.

            … Hobbit

          2. slumbrew

            Both very good suggestions – thanks!

    2. Spudalicious

      Does it work? Is the cord getting hot? No? Carry on. Wrap it with a shit load of black tape and move on.

      1. slumbrew

        It’s a little too sketchy to just wrap tape on it, splice and shrink-tubing is the bare minimum, I think. It just makes me feel a bit… dirty? lazy? to just do the bare minimum. Granted, herself would have just thrown it out and bought a new one…

    1. Tundra

      I would, but they are banned…

    2. Trigger Hippie

      ‘But why we do need 8′ or 10′ kitchen knives with points? Butchers and fishmongers do, but how often, if at all, does a domestic chef use the point of an 8′ or 10′ knife? Rarely, if at all,’ he said….

      Well I’m not much of a chef but I do use an 8′ or 10′ knife to cut up a pot roast or trim a steak or divide a rack of pork ribs into four ribs per serving with my meals several times a month and I’m willing to bet no small number of Brits do the same. So how’s about fuck off, slaver?

      Maybe if they just banned solid foods altogether…

      1. Well, a 10 foot knife is a bit much, but a 10″ knife is what I use to carve roasts, chicken, stuff like that. Also, molon labe.

    3. Akira

      Good fucking god, I never thought it would get THAT bad…

      I guess it goes to show that “progressivism” is “progressive” in the medical sense – it will fucking kill you slowly and painfully.

      1. Suthenboy

        Get? They aint finished, just you wait and see.

  26. Juvenile Bluster

    Unless you’re OMWC, I’m not sure how you can say this dress is inappropriate for a 3 year old.

    When my daughter was 3 those kinds of dresses is pretty much all she would wear (I know, I’m scum, pushing her to be female-identifying)

    1. Gustave Lytton

      The world has gone insane. I looked up a 65 year old actress on Wiki tonight and was surprised to see her described as an “actor”. Sure enough there was an edit war and someone with a hard on for making sure she was labeled as an actor.
