Hey Glibs, what’s happening? Did everyone check out Yusef’s awesome hike? We have no sort of terrain (or Terrane) like that down here, although the beach is pretty. And (major bonus!) it doesn’t smell like dead fish anymore. We might actually go down and use it again. Anyhow, happy Thursday. I hope everyone is winding down their work week and settling in to fuck off. I’m starting to pregame for Saturday’s Red River Shootout rematch. OU does, in fact, suck. But the chances of Texas beating them twice in one season are about as good as me winning the lottery.
Happy Hump Day. If you’re not drinking, happy Dry Hump Day. That won’t be a problem for me. Wife is going to a friend’s birthday dinner. I’ll be practicing my elbow bends while the rug-rats run around at home.
Here’s a rugged individualist spending his own time and money to improve LA bus stops. You’ll be shocked to find out that he chooses to remain anonymous and not show his face for fear that LA authorities will arrest him for doing their job. “You can’t do that, that’s a job government must do!”
NPR sez “fast tracking logging on public land may not lessen wild-fire risk”, but fails to note that there’s no increase possible in the worst case. (They probably aren’t wrong — Federal land isn’t where the big risk to people is.)
Its so weird that this hit piece on the guy who gave Jeffrey Epstein a sweet deal when Acosta was a prosecutor fails to mention certain persons of the Democrat persuasion who have been credibly accused of flying on his “Lolita Express”. They sneak in that Epstein’s “friends included former President Bill Clinton, Donald Trump and Prince Andrew”, but one of those is not rumored to have taken the flight. Crazy, huh?
I’m not going to dig up the Mexican Flanders photo so here is an excerpt from a graphic novel featured on NPR about the life and times of Ernesto “Che” Cuevara. Found in this article are the words, “cruelty” and “execution.” Not found anywhere is “murderous,” “bloodthirsty,” “racist,” “asshole,” or even “Argentine.”
Methusela was sentenced to 5000 years in a Guatemalan prison for atrocities he committed during their civil war. Yes, I linked Al Jazeera, don’t change the subject from mandatory minimums!
Lets not forget, Mexicans don’t like the refugees migrants people from “Not Mexico” being in Mexico.
Venezuela is now doing what everyone else does when they encounter economic turmoil: seek refuge in gold!
Okay. We get it. You like to vape.
CNN digs around and finds answers to their readers queries about tear gas. Unfortunately, their answer to the question, “Why Was Tear Gas Used” does not include the obvious answer: its a useful tool to disperse a crowd WITHOUT KILLING THEM. As somebody that has been exposed to tear gas let me tell you something: there is no better agent on Earth that will clear your sinuses quicker. I caught the flu during week 5 of basic training; I was dying for three days during a Texas Ice Storm, getting yelled at for not taking that “war” thing seriously. Then they put me in a room filled with that crap, made me do pushups, and yanked the mask off. Once I was done puking…I was good to go.
Finally, I thought this clip was interesting. Sure its a couple weeks old, but it really drives home the idea that not far from where I live…they WANT a brutal dictator.
Right, you all need tunes to get you going in the morning. Here you go. Make hump day your bitch!
Welcome to today’s unicorn links. Why unicorn? Because I have a link about a unicorn. The writing in the link is terrible. “sported a horn of biblical portions, possibly as long as three feet (1 meter) in length”. First of all the word “portions” should be “proportions”. Second of all, things of Biblical proportion could include: floods, famines, and plagues. I suppose arks and temples. I was unaware that YHWH had specified the appropriate length of a unicorn’s horn. Also, I’m not sure that rhino is kosher.
A brothel where sex robots have to “give consent” before you can engage in intercourse with them. Unless “consent” means getting an approval message when charging a credit card, the very stupid idea that these robots have a will or a mind or a consciousness capable of consenting to or opposing something ought to discuss actual human beings. We didn’t build stubbornness into cars because mules were efficient engines. (NSFW warning: robot boobs below the scroll)
I know the French riot and burn shit at the drop of a hat, but I do believe there would be American officials decorating lamp posts if the gas spot price were $1.65/gal and the cost of gas were $6.25/gal. Even Californians might treat it like a Lakers NBA Championship.
Stephen Hillenburg, creator of Spongebob, died from complications related to ALS. My dad had a good friend go downhill and pass very quickly after being diagnosed with the same condition. Fuck ALS!
So I came across this wardrobe disaster and thought I’d share. It looks like they raided a lesbian’s closet.
It’s everyone’s favorite time of day, where they refresh incessantly until new links appear.
Today in Birthdays we have the infamous Bruce Lee, guitar legend Jimi Hendrix, actor Curtis Armstrong, Super Villain, Steve Bannon, and Bill Nye The Appeal to Emotions Guy.
Twitter continues its purge of wrong thinkers. I don’t care, they axed me months ago. Granted, in hindsight I probably shouldn’t have told that lady that she was going to die alone surrounded by 50 cats who will probably eat her face in desperation. With how sensitive Big Tech is, I’m becoming leery of those who haven’t been kicked off at least one platform.
I hope everybody got the deals they were looking for on new (or gently used) sexbots. There’s a part of me that’s sad I didn’t go into teledildonics. There’s many a fortune to be made there.
KDW continues to be solid. I wish he would just give up and admit his libertarianism. Although, “aping”, bro. That’s why you couldn’t stay at The Atlantic. Which the managing editor must regret every time KDW publishes a column.
It’s Cyber Monday, I hope you all enjoy the online shopping, hopefully Amazon will have as good of deals as they did on Prime Day in 2015.
Today’s Birthdays include, the savior of Arizonans and inventor of modern air conditioning, Willis Carrier, cartoonist, Charles Schulz, actor, Robert Goulet, and singer, Tina Turner,

“Hail To The Victors”, my ass. That complete ass-beating was a treat to watch. Especially after every single pundit, including Herbie, on Gameday picked the Wolverines. Hell, Desmond Howard went so far up his own asshole to say TTUN should have been ranked ahead of Notre Dame just before the noon kickoff and game of nightmares for his alma mater got underway. It was like watching the dream sequence in “Dumb and Dumber” when Lloyd literally rips the heart out of the chef and drops it in a doggie bag for him. But at least there won’t be anybody blaming this one on the officials or not having a coach’s personnel yet. Elsewhere Notre Dame looked shaky in a win, Bama, Clemson and Georgia cruised, Oklahoma won their 7 on 7 drill, Washington helped us out by beating WSU, and LSU fell after 7 overtimes and a couple dubious calls/lucky breaks that all seemed to go aTm’s way. And in a game with no national ramifications, I’m giving a special shoutout to the Golden Gophers for sticking Paul Bunyon’s axe back in their trophy case after a 15 year hiatus. If I missed your team’s result, I apologize. Feel free to discuss in the comments. EDIT: Banjos has reminded me to point out how Arizona State shoved their fist up University of Arizona North Nogales’s collective bunghole and stole the Territorial Cup.
Across the pond, Real Madrid got smoked, Liverpool and Man City distanced themselves from Chelsea int he title hunt and ManUre fell back into old habits with a draw against Crystal Palace. But none of that matters much, because TTUN gave up the most points its ever given up in regulation to anyone...and the Buckeyes took a knee inside the 10 to end the game when they could have tried to score and go for 2 like Woody did 50 years ago this season. Oh well, we can try to run it to 70 in Ann Arbor next year.
Anyway, for those of you not into sports and for Ted especially because he had to know this kind of post would be in the offing today, here are…the links!
Well, the EU have agreed with the Brexit deal. Now its time to see if it can get through the House of Commons. Why the brits needed the EU to “approve” anything is a mystery to me. They should have simply said “fuck off, we’re out of your club. If you want to trade and have some form of immigration with us, that’s fine. If not, cheerio!”
I’m not going to dig up the Mexican Flanders photo so 
Lets not forget, Mexicans don’t like the
