ZARDOZ’S FRIDAY NIGHT LINKS OF SAD

ZARDOZ REMEMBERS MR. WHISKERS…

 

ZARDOZ SPEAKS TO YOU, HIS CHOSEN ONES. ONE NIGHT THIS WEEK, AS ZARDOZ PULLED INTO HIS DOCKING BAY/HOME, HE REALIZED SOMETHING WAS MISSING. ZARDOZ MISSES THE BEST KITTY EVER, MR. WHISKERS. ZARDOZ HAS TRIED TO FILL THE VOID WITH TWITTER, BUT TO NO AVAIL. PERHAPS ZARDOZ CAN SPEND MORE TIME RAISING THE BRUTAL EXTERMINATORS UP FROM BRUTALITY? MAYBE GIVING THE GIFT OF THE GUN…

 

ZARDOZ WILL CONSIDER ALL THESE THINGS. HOWEVER, YOU, THE CHOSEN ONES SHALL RECEIVE THE GIFT OF THE LINK, AND NOW!

  1. NOT QUITE THE MATERIAL ZARDOZ IS SEEKING FOR THE BRUTAL EXTERMINATORS. ZARDOZ WILL HAVE TO CROSS “IDIOT YOBOS” OFF THE LIST. THREE VICTIMS, NOT ONE KILL.
  2. WHILE MORE PROMISING, MALI IS TOO FAR FOR ZARDOZ TO GO RECRUITING.
  3. OH…IN CASE ANY OF THE CHOSEN ONES WERE WONDERING WHAT ZARDOZ MEANS BY “THE FILTH OF BRUTALS” PLAGUING THE EARTH – HERE IS A GOOD EXAMPLE. “Instead, we just surrender the streets and say, ‘It’s OK. You can camp here. You can shoot up here. We’ll give you a box for your needles, and we’ll come and clean up after you,’” Schafer said. “The streets smell like feces and urine, and man, it’s tough to want to stay here.”
  4. ZARDOZ DOES NOT UNDERSTAND BRUTALS – THIS BRUTAL WAS VERY CORRUPT, CONVICTED OF HIS CRIMES TWICE…HE ALREADY LOOKS LIKE HE HAS BEEN AGED, AS THE ETERNAL “FRIEND”WAS. WHY WAS HE NOT SIMPLY CLEANSED?

ZARDOZ IS GOING TO HAVE THE TABERNACLE RUN PICTURES OF MR. WHISKERS FOR OLD TIMES SAKE.

YOU WERE A GOOD KITTY.

ZARDOZ HAS SADLY SPOKEN.

          Checklist for being a fireman:

          1) Find something burning
          2) Apply water/foam until its extinguished
          3) Pat each other on back about ‘saving lives’
          4) profit

          1. Spudalicious

            5) Use it to get hawt chicks.

          2. ZARDOZ

            ZARDOZ SPEAKS TO YOU, HIS CHOSEN TRES ONE. SIMILAR TO THE BRUTAL EXTERMINATORS:

            1) RECEIVE THE GIFT OF THE GUN
            2) GO FORTH AND KILL!
            3) BE LIFTED FROM BRUTALITY

    2. SUP SALLY!

      1. Tres Cool

        You’re struggling….

          1. Yusef drives a Kia

            OK Sally, We get it, What’s next OMM impersonations?

          2. AlmightyJB

            Is Ted now Sally?

          3. Yusef drives a Kia

            We didn’t start the fire…… He Did

          4. Brochettaward

            Now he spends his time travelling around small riverside villages to teach about environmental conservation through art. It’s through this that Uyra emerges in her full splendor and glory.

            https://www.yahoo.com/news/behold-amazonian-eco-warrior-drag-queen-060752899.html

            The left’s perfect super hero. Homosexual man by day, drag queen who fights pollution by night.

          5. AlmightyJB

            “His mission: to travel around Amazon villages, teaching conservation through performance art.”

            Who pays his bills?

          6. Rhywun

            RuPaul?

          7. AlmightyJB

            I’m guessing we are.

  2. DEG

    Fuck this. A big thunderstorm is going through the area and the power has flickered several times, causing the lights to go out and the computer to shut off. I should just give up and go to bed.

    Zardoz, could you send some of those guns you are vomiting out my way?

    1. That’s what tablets and smartphones are for.

      1. DEG

        I have a smartphone but it sucks for typing and reading.

        1. AlmightyJB

          Shooting at the clouds doesn’t work.

          1. DEG

            Goddammit. And I just received a shipment of ammunition.

            Thanks to whomever it was here that pointed me to American Custom Ammo. I now have a batch of ammunition for my Schmidt-Rubin M1889 and my Lee-Metford Mk II.

            I should have checked to see if the Lee-Metford’s barrel was bulging before buying the ammunition, but oh well. Life will go on. I noted when slugging the bore that the middle of the bore was a little looser than the rest of the bore.

            Also, learn from my mistakes. Don’t use dowel rods to slug a bore, especially not dowel rods with frayed/fucked up ends. Use a brass rod. A kind co-worker fixed my mistake for me for a reasonable fee.

            Anyways, if the weather is good on Sunday I’ll take my M1889 out to the range to see how this ammunition works.

            Thanks again to whomever it was that pointed me to American Custom Ammo!

          2. AlmightyJB

            I’ll have to check it out before I buy from Midway again. I just got a new Midway flyer in the mail. I’m going to the range next Saturday. Haven’t decided what I’m taking yet. I’d really like to pu a vintage rifle. Seems like prices have drifted north over the last few years though.

          3. DEG

            Oh yes. I recently made some acquisitions through GunBroker and the Amoskeag Auction. Prices for the vintage stuff has gone up, even factoring in inflation, since the times before I went on my shooting/buying hiatus.

            I remember paying $250 or so for my K31, and I see them listed on GunBroker for much, much more.

          4. AlmightyJB

            I has sad.

        2. Rebel Scum

          In my experience it really brings out the grammar nazis.

    2. ZARDOZ

      ZARDOZ SPEAKS TO YOU, HIS FOGHORN LEGHORNED CHOSEN ONE. ZARDOZ HAS DOCKED FOR THE NIGHT. JUST BE SURE TO KILL THE FIRST BRUTAL THAT INTRUDES, THE REST WILL RUN. ZARDOZ HAS SPOKEN.

  3. I hear you, Zardoz. Seems like every day is a good day to get kicked in the teeth, and then maybe someone comes along and pisses on you for good measure because why not.

    I’m sorry to hear about Mr. Whiskers. The world is worse off.

    But the world wasnt really a great place to begin with, was it?

    1. Old Man With Candy

      then maybe someone comes along and pisses on you

      Sorry about that.

      1. Some people are turned on by that.

        (I am not one of those people.)

        1. Spudalicious

          Not British, eh?

          1. I’m of German ancestry, so in theory I sh0ukd be turned on by Scheißeporn.

          2. “Should”, lousy tablet keyboard.

      2. I was probably asking for it

        1. Old Man With Candy

          That is a fine quality in a young woman. Hell, in an old woman, too.

          Seriously, sorry about how things feel to you right now.

          1. It is what it is.

            Sorry to be this way.

          2. Yusef drives a Kia

            Who said We should be Happy? Why?
            Life may be easier now than any time in the Past, But Humans still Suck, and so does the world……

          3. Timeloose

            And it sucks until it doesn’t. When it doesn’t revel in it.

          4. Humans may suck, but they’re not sucking me. 🙁

          5. Brochettaward

            I know a truck stop where you can fix that problem. For free.

          6. Yusef drives a Kia

            “Rage, Rage Against the Dying of the light”
            Awesome Poem,

      3. DEG

        I guess I should have paid more attention as I read the comments.

        I’m also sorry to hear someone was pissing on you, Riven.

        1. It’s all good. You’ve got the right attitude, though. “Fuck this.”

    2. AlmightyJB

      Nice Avatar Riven. Looks like something OMWC would pic. Hope something nice comes your way:) I mean other than a golden shower.

      1. Thanks on all counts, friend.

    3. straffinrun

      I’m confused with this whole thread. Mr. Whiskers died and Riven got pissed on? This cannot stand.

      1. Schnirt Gurgleburger

        I’m confused too. I blame it on my sailor friend.

      2. R C Dean

        I feel like I need an update. Mr Whiskers, I’m current on.

        What’s going on with Riven?

        1. westernsloper

          OMWC pissed on her. Incontinence happens with the elderly.

          1. ZARDOZ

            ZARDOZ SPEAKS TO YOU, HIS CHOSEN WESTERN ONE. IF ZARDOZ HAD HANDS TO APPLAUD, HE WOULD DO SO. ZARDOZ HAS SPOKEN.

          2. Dude…you have a major accomplishment there….Big Z wanting to applaud you, not cleanse you!

    4. SP

      Girlfriend, I am right there with you.

      Glad to see the backend of this %#$%(* week.

      (NOT a euphemism. OMWC put that thing away already.)

  4. DEG

    A gang of Polish men who launched a vile, racist attack on a family have been jailed for more than ten years.

    Lukasz Chluba, 32, Tomasz Tchorzewski, 30, his brother Robert Tchorzewski, 28, and Ernest Bachowski, 27, were locked up for their attack against a Polish teenager and her English boyfriend.

    The Tchorzewski brothers and Bachowski started a riot in west Hull over Polish teenager Olivia Johnson, saying she ‘deserved to be killed’ for dating Kieran Bush.

    What a shame the English gave up their Gift of the Gun. They could have saved the taxpayer some money.

    1. Schnirt Gurgleburger

      Johnson is a Polish surname?

      1. westernsloper

        No, but if worked the right way a Polish can be used as a Johnson.

        1. Schnirt Gurgleburger

          Great…there’s a thought I’ve never had in my whole life.

        2. Count Potato

          What?

    2. Timeloose

      This is the time of the day where I can watch airplanes coming due east out of the setting sun. Shining silver clouds. Beautiful after the storms we just had.

    3. Brochettaward

      What I find more disconcerting is the abuse of the English language on display. A bunch of Polacks attacking an Englishmen isn’t racist. Words have meanings.

  5. KSuellington

    I’m happy to see that there has been a number of stories both in the local the national press about the Shits of San Francisco. I don’t know if it is possible for the proggies that run the place to be shamed, but eventually it is going to cost the city some tourist and convention dollars. I was born there four decades ago and the bum, druggie and zombie situation has truly gotten to ludicrous proportions. I keep fantasizing about moving to Nevada, but the business and family thing are still holding me here.

    1. Hyperion

      I can’t even remember Sanfran, though I’ve been there, I was a little kid. I lived in Simi Valley (new L.A.) for 5 years, I don’t have anything but good memories of it. I’m sure it’s gone to shit also by now.

      1. Hyperion

        near, not new…

        1. KSuellington

          California was an absolute frigging paradise.

      2. creech

        Maybe Simi Valley is still nice. They’ve had an LP activist re-elected the their Parks Board for about 20 years now.

      3. egould310

        Simi, Thousand Oaks, Moorpark, Calabasas, Agoura Hills are very nice. Those places will never get shitty, because rich people with families.

        1. I would fight to defend Agoura Hills, just for this…https://www.ladyfaceale.com/

    2. straffinrun

      About a decade ago, I was walking down the street in Tokyo a few weeks after my old man passed away. There was a poster for SF hanging outside a travel agency. Something caught my eye and I looked closely at the cable car in the picture. Standing on the back of the cable car was my old man and my brother. Freaked me the FO. Called my mom and asked her if he and my brother had ever been to SF. Indeed he had, with my brother years ago. Random picture of them caught by some photographer.

      1. KSuellington

        No way. What a weird thing to happen. You should have asked them if they’d sell it (that is if you would want it).

        1. straffinrun

          I wouldn’t know how to ask for it without sounding like a loony. Nice thing to happen, anyways. You think your isolated at times, but you have made ripples in this world.

          1. I would have any way… crazy and great story, straffin-san!

      2. Count Potato

        Wow.

      3. DEG

        Wow, that is weird.

      4. creech

        Too bad not on a box of RiceARoni. Think of the back royalties you could have demanded!

        1. ^^THAT IS A LIBERTARIAN SPEAKING^^

          *wipes away tear of pride*

      5. egould310

        It’s like the ending of Kubrick’s The Shining.

    3. westernsloper

      I know a young (mid 20’s) Australian dude who told me a story of visiting San Fran on his honeymoon. His wife and he chose the US to travel to because they thought it sounded so great. His story goes that In SF down by the piers they got verbally attacked by a group of whacked out homeless yelling they were going to kick his ass and rape his wife. They rushed away as fast as they could. This is a young man that probably would have waded into them and started fighting if not for being on his honeymoon. Moral of the story, they will never set foot in the US again. He said, “your countries fucked mate.”

    4. Grumbletarian

      I spent a couple of weeks on Oakland for work and the locals were perplexed that I had no interest in seeing the sights in San Fran on weekends.

      1. Raven Nation

        I was there maybe 20 years ago and did a lot of the touristy things. Walked around Nob Hill, went to Muir Woods, checked out Sausalito, ate in China Town, biked across the Golden Gate bridge, visited at least one museum. I enjoyed it.

        That said, the best thing I was drive the Pacific Coast Highway while SF is not high on my re-visit list.

  6. Count Potato

    Sorry, about your cat.

  7. Rhywun

    In this insanely rich city with an annual budget of $11 billion, where is the money for more shelter beds, more sobering centers, more drug rehabilitation programs and far more treatment beds for the mentally ill?

    I’m going to take a wild guess that there is already more than enough of that shit and the people you see on the street don’t care about any of it.

    1. Brochettaward

      San Francisco is like the bum, hobo, and filthy fucking hippy Mecca of the world because it has too much of that shit. They flock there from far and wide because these morons incentivize it.

      There’s probably some middle ground between localities that bus their homeless across city limits and, well, San Francisco.

      1. Rhywun

        And then I get to thinking that just maybe all the non-insanely rich that haven’t been chased out yet (I used to be one) are maybe getting a little sick and tired of being taxed up the ass to pay for all of that crap just to make people who live in a bubble like the person who wrote that article feel better about themselves.

    2. Yusef drives a Kia

      The Homeless can’t Drink/do drugs in the Shelters, they aren’t going to stay, SF is a Magnet for “Homeless” people, Hel the entire State is…..

      1. topnotchtoledo

        It’s housing prices, duh. Homeless only exist in super rich areas.

  8. Yusef drives a Kia

    “The streets smell like feces and urine, and man, it’s tough to want to stay here.”

        Sounds legit.

      2. Waterfall Insurance

        Born in 91 never seen porn on vhs, DVD, or even a magazine it’s been internet since day 1.

          Nmy point was definitely never seen deep throat

          1. ideepthroat aka Heather Harmon not the same as Deep Throat the film. Go to pornhub and search it.

        3. straffinrun

          I jerked off to cave paintings.

      3. kinnath

        Never heard of it.

        So apparently there is an upper cut off as well.

      4. DEG

        Heather Harmon was fucking hot. I still like her videos.

      5. Count Potato

        I don’t think I have, but it’s hardly the only blow job porn out there.

    2. DEG

      The archive site is fucked. Dammit.

      1. DEG

        There we go. Nice Set!

    3. Spudalicious

      I’m feeling patriotic with 1. I think 14 would hurt me…and I’m okay with that.

    1. Brochettaward

      I love that a short while ago, the left viewed Cohen as a shyster. The embodiment of Trump’s corruption. Meanwhile, Trumpistas were actually arguing he was an honorable man and lawyer as if he didn’t remind them of the stereotypical shady and half-witted Jersey degenerate.

      1. westernsloper

        The first time I heard that guy talk during the primaries I knew he was a sleaze ball. Arrogant fuckwit.

  10. Brochettaward

    Now he spends his time travelling around small riverside villages to teach about environmental conservation through art. It’s through this that Uyra emerges in her full splendor and glory.

  11. Rebel Scum

    ZARDOZ REMEMBERS MR. WHISKERS…

    Speaking of cats, one of mine is sleeping next to me. His ears twitch at every sound. I suspect he is a surveillance asset cultivated by Q’s Russian Blue. ///MuhRussia

    1. YOU SAW NOTHING

  12. Rebel Scum

    Four men who punched and stamped on Polish girl, 17, saying she ‘deserved to be killed’ for dating an Englishman, beat her boyfriend and stabbed his father in the leg outside their own home are jailed for 10 years

    So five Polls and 2 Englishmen walk into a bar…

    1. straffinrun

      I thought Poles were supposed to be the model immigrants.

      1. AlmightyJB

        They are. For Europe.

    2. AlmightyJB

      How many pollocks does it take to stomp a girl? Four, one to hold the shoe, three to rock the girl to and fro.

    ‘It’s OK. You can camp here. You can shoot up here. We’ll give you a box for your needles, and we’ll come and clean up after you,’” Schafer said. “The streets smell like feces and urine, and man, it’s tough to want to stay here.

    But don’t you dare use a plastic straw.

    1. Timeloose

      Or grocery bag

      1. Rebel Scum

        Now lets try a real alternative: Stainless Steel

        1. trshmnstr

          We have some of those… Not terrible, but nothing worth writing home about

          1. AlmightyJB

            I’ll just stick with 20 dollar bills.

          2. Rhywun

            Ooo, Mr. Big Bucks.

      1. AlmightyJB

        The Detroit on the Pacific.

    2. Count Potato

      Aren’t needles like skinny straws?

      1. Rhywun

        Reusable, too!

        1. Count Potato

          Well, not on any ambulance I worked. But I didn’t just throw them out the window either.

    1. straffinrun

      That’s good.

  14. straffinrun

    Damn. Looks like we’re getting the right hook. Screw it, I’m still going out for drinks tonight.

    1. Tres Cool

      You know who else caught a right hook?

      1. straffinrun

        The wife that keeps it up after the left hook?

    2. AlmightyJB

      Have fun! Hope it breaks up.

    3. DEG

      Enjoy those drinks and stay safe!

      1. straffinrun

        These things aren’t like Katrina or even close. Just gonna get soaked. Horizontal rain means I get to look at all the tiddies under the wet shirts. Silver lining.

        1. Tres Cool

          Doesnt horizontal rain pair nicely with the asian horizontal…..oh, nevermind

        2. DEG

          I get to look at all the tiddies under the wet shirts

          Excellent.

        3. Timeloose

          I delayed my flight by a day due to this typhoon. I see the West is getting hammered again.

          1. straffinrun

            Yep. They just had terrible flooding a week or so ago.

        4. Gustave Lytton

          That almost makes up for the 80% humidity and 90F+ temperature. Almost.

    4. Mustang

      I just got an alert here that says we are just in for a bit of wind. Not sure why they’re showing something different from the Japan Meteorlogical Agency.

      1. straffinrun

        150 ml isn’t too bad for heavy rain. Strong winds. Never know, they mess up these forecasts all the time.

        1. Mustang

          Weather forecasters are wrong no matter what part of the world they’re in, color me shocked.

      2. Rhywun

        I got something like 8 freaking Amber alerts for flooding today. And the rain wasn’t even all that.

        1. Mustang

          They handed out sandbags to anyone wanted them here. Some of the housing areas get flooded even in mild weather. #governmentplanning

  15. Spudalicious

    Okay, I’m a racist. I was surprised to see four white guys on the beat down article. I was expecting Mooslims.

    1. Tres Cool

      Ill just grab this from above:

      Tres Cool on July 27, 2018 at 8:18 pm

      Checklist for being a fireman:

      1) Find something burning
      2) Apply water/foam until its extinguished
      3) Pat each other on back about ‘saving lives’
      4) profit

      1. Count Potato

        In my experience, firemen are usually great guys.

        1. Tres Cool

          Of course, if you’re on fire.

        I only spent a year attached to a fire department and came away with this.
        1) Find something burning
        2) Surround it and drownd it
        3) Fuck a buddy’s girl because he went to C shift
        4) Start a moving service with a buddy still on your shift
        5) File workman’s comp on city for disk you dislocated carrying a sofa up a staircase.

        1. Spudalicious

          Yep. There are places that are like that.

          You forgot then get busted running a triathlon while on disability. Or was that chic in Phoenix a cop?

          1. Gustave Lytton

            There’s a county sheriff around here that retired on disability from another police department. And nothing else happened.

    Sheldon Silver is definitely one of Mr Lizards. That is not even a good disguise.

      Fuck…

      …that’s totally not one ours. If you look closely you will see a turtle resemblance. He’s actually an amphibian from Lineous Prime. They’re like sheisty Jew lawyers but from two galactic arms over.

    Has anyone seen Diego lately? He’s one of several glibs that was here for awhile….

    “My great grandmother always likes to be well made up every day and won’t leave the house without her face on. I got her these for her 100th birthday. Her fave colour is hooker red. She had been using them for months before she got her new glasses and it was then she realised she had been painting her lips with penises. She promptly had a heart attack. But at least she looked good in hospital. (FYI she’s okay.)”

    A gushing Vanity Fair profile this week dubbed Barbaro “the Ira Glass of the New York Times” — adding, “Barbaro has actually become kind of legitimately famous,” with appearances on “Late Night with Seth Meyers” and a sold-out 92Y talk. The piece praised his “signature bespectacled, Wesleyan-chic look.” The New Yorker has breathlessly observed Barbaro’s “interesting arrangement of facial hair,” “cool glasses” and “daring combinations of clashing patterns.”

    OK, the tame mockery of all the pomposity is appreciated but there was a time when the NY Post would have had a lot more fun with this story.

    New Wife turns DVR to Colbert => Don Escapes Livingroom.

    She watches him for a certain kind of humor and timing, but he hasn’t been funny since he went with CBS. I can’t get through the third-grade taunting so’s your old man I know you are but what am I punditry on late night, MSNBC, FoxNews. Mindless, partisan bickering, moral relativism, identity politics do zero for me regardless the side; I hate the cheesy logic and the apologia…..weak sauce from bad cooks.

      TDS has killed late-night comedy.

      One of the cable stations airs re-runs of the Johnny Carson on the Tonight Show. He rarely touched on anything political.

      1. KSuellington

        I just watched this great Dangerfield on Carson appearance the other day. Absolutely classic.

    “LOS ANGELES – Flippy, the burger flipping robot, has a new gig cooking fried chicken tenders and tater tots at Dodger Stadium.

    The robot debuted earlier this year at a Pasadena, California, burger restaurant, only to get stage fright from the rush of customers. It has since been retooled and is now working full time, processing “thousands” of burgers daily, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., according to the robot’s creator, David Zito, CEO of Miso Robotics.”

      “Why did you join the Libertarian Party?”………Not one of them said, “to meet chics” Big disappointment.

      1. straffinrun

        It’s interesting. You’ve got the Sargons and Dankulas joining UKIP and these guys joining The LP. Not sure either is salvageable, but at least people are injecting some chaos into rotting organizations.

  24. Chafed

    Sorry about Mr. Whiskers ZARDOZ. I’ve lost a couple of cats to coyotes. It’s tough finding the body and even worse when you don’t.

    1. Gustave Lytton

      So you have an illegal act along with an illegal firearm, and the first instinct is to ban what’s left of legal ownership?

      When’s the Twink in the North going to ban vans? They’ve killed more Torontons (or whatever the plural is) this year in deliberate attacks than firearms of any kind.

      1. Winston

        Never let a crisis go to waste…

      2. Gun owners are icky. That’s reason enough.

      “The Liberal government does not expect much opposition to a law banning handguns, especially among urban voters, the official said.“

      What’s the Canadian word for Trump?

      1. Rhywun

        Ford?

      2. Winston

        Canada has no second amendment…

        What’s the Canadian word for Trump?

        Doug Ford?

        especially among urban voters

        Don and HM have a sad…

        1. straffinrun

          No idea what this means.

          1. Winston

            First part means that Canada doesn’t have many people who believe in gun rights or are any institutional barriers to gun control.

            The third part was me snarking that the quote implies that the rednecks are the main opponents to gun control…

          2. straffinrun

            I realize there is no 2A equivalent in Canada, but there are many Canadians that would be against banning all hand guns. Maybe he could get it through, but it wouldn’t be the cakewalk they implied. As for the last part, save the snark at other commenters for their own comments. Why would I want to hear it?

          3. Winston

            but there are many Canadians that would be against banning all hand guns. Maybe he could get it through, but it wouldn’t be the cakewalk they implied.

            True but are they enough? And the Liberals would do it if they could and what would the Conservatives do about it?

          4. straffinrun

            You’d have to see if the polling started hurting Trudeau. They’d have to push it through really fast to avoid massive backlash. Just conjecture on my part, but the pendulum swings even in Canuckistan.

    Following a weeklong European tour during which he disparaged America’s closest allies and flattered its greatest adversary, there no longer can be any doubt that U.S. President Donald Trump wants to dismantle the liberal world order. That order—a system of multilateral arrangements, alliances, and institutions—was built in the ashes of World War II under U.S. tutelage and strength of arms. It extends from the European Union and NATO to the long-standing security guarantees Washington has established with Asian countries such as Japan and South Korea. The resulting Pax Americana laid the groundwork for the greatest period of peace and prosperity in human history.

      Just noticed you read Colorless Tsukuru. I really enjoyed that book. Plays on the fear of being ostracized and how painful it is for Japanese people.

  26. Winston

    Anyway gun control does remind me of one of my issues with libertarianism: that libertarians are ironically enough quite collectivist politically. The importance of individual politicians behavior and that of the zeitgeist is very glossed over. For example after a shooting if gun-grabber politicians are in power and maybe polls show public support they can do it and what can be done about afterward? Instead libertarianism go on about “the libertarian moment”, “politics is downwind of culture” and other appeals to the vague forces of history…

    Hilarious

    Twitter Inc. shares plunged the most in two years after the social media company said monthly users dropped by 1 million in the second quarter from the first and predicted further declines as it continues to fight against spam, fake accounts and malicious rhetoric.

    It’s as if a store reported how many people walked in the door & ignored how much they spend. And the market reacts to it, rather than calling out the emperor’s clothing.

    1. straffinrun

      Why aren’t people willing to say whatever they want in front of the pitchfork wielding mob? It’s a mystery.

  28. Winston

    Speaking of Doug Ford and Toronto he is cutting City Council from 47 to 25 just three months before the next election…

    1. Chafed

      Which means…?

  29. KSuellington

    It looks like everyone is asleep here. Yet, I will ask if anyone else has had a loaded gun pointed at them?

    I’ve had two, one in the USofA and one in Latin America. Both were cops.

  30. KSuellington

    It’s late and it looks like everyone is going to sleep. I just saw this and thought about having a cop put a gun on you. I’ve had it happen twice pointed at my head, once here as a youngster and once in Latin America. Fortunate both times. Ving was too.
