The Chapo Trap House bunch is turning on AOC because she made a post that wasn’t fully deferential to Maduro and Venezuela.

We need to make a secret deal with Cuba to withdraw their support.
The only reason Maduro is still afloat is because of his cuban bodyguards and the “advisors” embedded everywhere.

Ah, the only movie with a Tom Arnold appearance worth seeing.
How dare you. True Lies is the best action movie of the 1990s.
Whoops, I forgot about that one. You are correct, that was a good movie, although I’d go with Terminator 2 being the best 90s action flick.
No. Literally ever Jean Claude Van Damme movie is the greatest 90’s action flick.
Except for Bloodsport because it is the greatest 80’s action flick.
Does Heat count as an action movie? Because if it does, that’s my vote.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_(1972_film)
that’s an…interesting choice…
Ronin is a pretty goddamn good movie.
No. Heat is an awesome 10 minute gunfight surrounded by 3 hours of Al Pacino fellating himself.
Hooooaaaaaah
Nah, he’s only gently fondling himself in that one, which is why it works. It’s nowhere near Devil’s Advocate territory.

Technically they did build the mast (the spire on the top of the building), they just only used it for this purpose once before realizing it was a bad idea.

As a new comedian working the circuit, I’m appalled at disgusting ‘jokes’ creeping back into the industry
I thought it was Titania McGrath or Godfrey Elfwick, but apparently it isn’t…
Speaking as a person of colour in an irredeemably racist culture, I’m sick of being accused of hypersensitivity by straight white men who are blind to their own privilege. What makes them believe that comedy should just be for them?
That’s as far as I read. I think I read too much.
Yeah, that was where I tapped out, too.
Tritto.
How does their existence mean “comedy should just be for them”? Tell whatever jokes you want. That’s the entire point. Their jokes don’t mean you can’t tell whatever jokes you want, you simpering pussy.
You should’ve kept going, it gets better:
LOL
“unsafe”
“I was lucky to escape with my life – he was telling JOKES!!!!”
“this freedom does not extend to making public events unsafe for vulnerable members of society.”
He’d be right if he was saying the radical Muslims will blow up the place if the comedian kept that up and thereby making it unsafe for the people there.
Great comedy is transgressive.
SJWs beg to be transgressed.
I’m a transgressphobic.
Modern England is a fucking worthless place.
Comedians who try to get other comedians prosecuted for hate speech violations are truly the lowest of the low.
And they are invariably unfunny. I watched a bit of that ridiculously overhyped Nanette bullshit. It’s not funny. Like, not even a chuckle.
I hate to be the one to tell that guy, but he’s not a comedian and he never will be.
““Alt-right comedy” might sound like an oxymoron, but the immense popularity of internet “sh*tposters” such as PewDiePie and Sargon of Akkad has persuaded some comedians that there is money to be made from belittling social justice.”
How the fuck are either of those people alt-right? Never mind that “social justice” is deserving of ridicule. Don’t want to be ridiculed? Then stop being ridiculous.
And they aren’t comedians either for that matter.
PewDiePie is sort of a comedian.
Maybe you could consider him a humorist, but not a comedian I don’t think. Someone like, say, PJ O’Rourke writes funny stuff, but he doesn’t get up on a stage and tell jokes.
That’s what I meant. PewDiePie makes comedy, but he’s not a stand-up comic.
How the fuck are either of those people alt-right?
They are not. Note that cleverly xe never called Sargon “alt-right”. Xe just connected him to alt-right in your mind without doing anything slanderous or technically inaccurate.
“New comedian”? Can somebody please explain to this guy that comedians are supposed to be funny?
Hey, unintentionally funny is still funny! 7/10. Needs more fart jokes.
‘Reduced anxiety’ comedy? JFC.

“irredeemably”
So why should anyone bother?

Or

Call it off.
Game shooting is a niche but passionately pursued pastime in Britain, with leading shoots charging tens of thousands of pounds for a weekend. The industry also attracts wealthy foreign visitors to England and Scotland for the game seasons.
Yet about 40 percent of the pheasants and nine in every 10 of the partridges shot in Britain are imported, nearly all from France, where exporters specialise in breeds that are popular in Britain, such as ring-neck pheasants and red-legged partridges.
The birds are exported between March and June as eggs or day-old chicks and reared on British farms or on country estates before being released to the wild for shooting when the season opens: Sept. 1 for partridge and Oct. 1 for pheasant.
———–
The UK Game Farmers’ Association (GFA) hopes that chicks will be allowed to be “fast-tracked” through border arrangements. But French exporters who have made such requests said the French farm ministry has not yet approved them.
The number of game bird chicks available in the UK next season would eventually depend on transport conditions, British game officials say.
“Laws on both sides of the Channel will rightly prevent any transport movements that have an adverse impact on animal welfare,” a GFA spokesman said.
Customs inspections will delay the shipments, they say. I’m not sure why those chicks would be unable to survive for a few extra hours. It’s not like they need to be bottle fed. And, of course, the irony of worrying about “animal cruelty” in the case of birds specifically imported to be shot (at) can’t go unnoticed.
Just one more reason to oppose Brexit. Or, a business opportunity for English hatcheries.
That’s just what I thought. Brexit creates jobs and a niche market. France loses money because the EU is a dick.

My grandma’s advice to me about dating girls in college:
Bring them home and dunk them in the pool. If they’re wearing makeup at the pool, they have something to hide.
Tell Granny that they now have this thing called waterproof makeup. I saw some bankrat yoots once push their girl into a Class 4 rapid once. We (kayakers) were anticipating an obligatory and nasty rescue. Surprisingly she made it through and bobbed up with overstuffed bikini and makeup intact. The bitching out she gave the yoots was a thing of beauty to behold. We cheered her on.
It seems like she’s been on that Thailand holiday for a long time. Or she goes once a week.
It’s better than spending February in England.

I’ve been getting robocalls from the county for a month about attending a town hall on school safety with the School Board. It was just as big a clusterfuck as I figured it would be:

So it was a pep rally, basically.
“Several black churches brought buses to take people to the meeting.”
Why? What does black have to with it?
Runcie is the first black superintendent of Broward County schools. That’s pretty much why.
Also why there was no outcry when Sheriff Israel was suspended and replaced with the county’s first black Sheriff (and why not? It worked in Blazing Saddles!) (ok but seriously, I’m not saying there should’ve been outcry, because nobody deserves to be shitcanned more than Sheriff Israel)
“When one woman complained about the controversial Promise program and accused the district of missing warning signs about the Stoneman Douglas killer, a Runcie supporter shouted out, “Oh come on! Get the politics out of it!””
Good luck with that.
Well, I hate to tell you this, but that’s not actually what we do.
An illuminating moment of the Federal Reserve’s first town hall-style meeting with community development leaders in Dallas on Monday came near the end of the session.
An audience member wondered whether the U.S. central bank might provide funds for a bus service to ferry workers across town to a cluster of higher-paying jobs.
Dallas Fed President Rob Kaplan said he often talked with his Fed colleagues about such “structural issues” like inadequate transportation that shackle the U.S. economy.
Do these discussions “turn into dollars?” the questioner asked.
The answer: Well, no.
There are no stupid questions. Just stupid people asking them.

AOC, Sanders, and Warren Are the Real Centrists Because They Speak for Most Americans
DON’T BELIEVE ME? Take Ocasio-Cortez’s signature issue: the Green New Deal. Former George W. Bush speechwriter — and torture advocate — Marc Thiessen claims that the Green New Deal will “make the Democrats unelectable in 2020.” The Economist agrees: “The bold plan could make the party unelectable in conservative-leaning states.” The Green New Deal “will not pass the Senate, and you can take that back to whoever sent you here and tell them,” a testy Diane Feinstein, the senior and supposedly “moderate” Democratic senator from California, told a bunch of kids in a viral video.
But here is the reality: The Green New Deal is extremely popular and has massive bipartisan support. A recent survey from the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication and George Mason University found that a whopping 81 percent of voters said they either “strongly support” (40 percent) or “somewhat support” (41 percent) the Green New Deal, including 64 percent of Republicans (and even 57 percent of conservative Republicans).
We’re all living in a centrist world now.
Arab/Muslim seem to take to socialism. Up here, many join socialist and left-wing parties.
I read the comments now I can’t go back.Leftists love to bring Hitler up a lot. And they unsurprisingly don’t know a lot about the guy. They think they do, but they don’t.
They’re projecting and don’t realize it. That’s the frightening part.
If Bernie and AOC are the “moderate middle”, what the fuck is the left?
Sure, whatever. “Somewhat support” means they like the sound of it or perhaps some features of it but their support may change in the face of competing, moderate proposals or debate which exposes the batshit-crazy nature of the thing.

It beggars belief that there are people that deny this as being true.
Yet you’re a science-denying Neanderthal if you suggest that spending anywhere in the ballpark of $100 trillion on climate change prevention is unwise.
(Especially unwise when the costs of climate change at the hundred year mark, at least that I recall, are only 3-4% global GDP. Has anyone worked out what the cost of burning $93 trillion dollars over the next ten years would be in 2100 dollars?)
Burning that many dollars is gonna cause some warming.
Trick Question, as the dollar will cease to exist by 2037.
Has anyone worked out what the cost of burning $93 trillion dollars over the next ten years would be in 2100 dollars?)
I believe it works out to all of them. If they pass the green new deal there will not be a United States in 2100, unless it is a new nation forged from the ashes of this one.

Hey, remember when a random local U15 team in England beat the Australian national women’s team 7-0? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
Or when a low-ranked man who was described as “a man whose training regime centered around a pack of cigarettes and more than a couple bottles of ice cold lager” strolled onto a court after playing a round of golf and downing a few beers and smoked each of the Williams sisters 6-1 and 6-2?
US HS boys teams regularly smoked the US women’s national team by double digits.
Karsten Braasch for the win.
Simple fix: drop Mens/Boys/Womens/Girls titles and switch to XX and XY as the event titles. Transgender, whatever, we don’t care, we won’t title it a men’s event, we will title it a “contains a Y chromosome” event (that instead of XY to handle the odd case of XXY).
That doesn’t work either because FTM (XX) will have the advantage of being on testosterone.
The other thing is, based on casual observation, is that bona fide MTF are rarely interested is sports. Someone’s brain was so female it was necessary to transition, but then she is going to take up competitive power lifting?
Yes, and the entire world of competitive sports must be rearranged in order to celebrate it.
Yeah, too lazy to look it up, but there’s some high school FTM wrestler in Texas (I think?) who’s wrestling as a female and dominating the sport.
That one I have a little more sympathy for, because they *want* to wrestle against boys, but the state says no.
Yeah TX law is “you compete based on what your birth certificate says” and CT is “you compete based on what you identify as”. So the TX wrestler wants to wrestle the guys but is barred due to that law, whereas these two in CT are biologically male, as far as I can tell, competing in girls events with all the huge advantages that entails.
The 2 girls who didn’t make state because they were forced to race against 2 biological males have every right to hold resentment. They are missing out on college scout exposure and possible scholarships. Funny how the policies of the left tend to hurt their biggest voting block the most.
Equality!
Terrible for them.
School vouchers for the win
How about we have an exhibition match between, say, the Oak Hill Academy boys basketball team and the WNBA All-Stars? Since, y’know, there are no inherent athletic advantages to being biologically male.
I had an ongoing “bet” (as it would never happen) about the results of Oak Hill boys vs UConn women.
The best women jump shooters would never* get a shot off unblocked.
*not literally true, but close enough.
The USWNT might be able to keep it within 20 against the Oak Hill boys if they can hit their shots well (they no can dunk, but good fundamentals).
Oak Hill would beat the UConn womens’ team by 50. At least.
It would be like watching Kentucky against Southeastern Bumblefuck State.
Hey I got my degree from Southeastern Bumblefuck State!
So you’re a Fighting Room Fresheners fan?
An old Dave Barry joke. Still works today.
Obviously, wouldn’t even be close.
I was a mediocre HS player and I was better than everyone on U.Va women’s team except eventual Hall of Famer Dawn Staley. And as incredible as she was, she’d have been no better than D-III men’s role player.
And that was back when UVA women’s ball was really good, playing in three straight Final Fours.
OH DEAR ME THE TOXIC MASCULINITY ON THIS THREAD!
Seriously. I stand by that if I were to recall the boys and train for a week we’d beat any women’s soccer team.
I’ll be damned if any chick will take the ball off me and if they do, I’ll slide tackle so hard to get it back.

Apparently Disney was mad that the “Want to See” score for Captain Marvel at Rotten Tomatoes was in the toilet, so RT……completely eliminated the score entirely for all movies. That’ll turn things around for sure.
That was because the idiot Larson was out proclaiming it was a feminist movie and that she wanted more non-white-male interviewers on her promotion tour.
She awakened the 4chan army.
A particularly stupid move on the heels of the Star Wars debacle.
Gee, it’s almost as if young men comprise a large chunk of the audience for comic book movies.
Yeah, well, young men are the ones most in need of a 2-hour lecture on feminism.
Mouse is not retarded, They have ridiculously tight contracts (as one does, when one hires Robert Downey Jr) and I don’t think she went off-script. Note that she had an “interview” with Fox which was basically two people script reading the marketing course correction.
Don’t blame idiot for reading what the corporate wants, that’s the job. Blame the corporate for writing it.
Do they think “corporate victim of teh patriarchy” is going to fly again after Ghostbusters?
Which “they”? People who sent her out in the first place didn’t expect they’d have to order a Fox idiot to do damage control in the first place. Those “they” are perfectly happy to hang any failure on her, and, Mouse willing, replace her with Monica Rambeau Captain Marvel in the next movie.
In that case, it just says that Disney expects the movie to bomb. They’re both engaging in a little guerrilla marketing and priming the “blame the white misogynist” argument.
Disney tried to replicate the Black Panther marketing, where they reached out to the people who normally don’t watch Marvel movies and were richly rewarded (compare the domestic/foreign box office breakdown of that movie to, say, Guardians of the Galaxy or Iron Man movies). So they figured, hey, let’s run the same thing but for wahmans!
Problem is that Larsen is not as charismatic as the BP cast, nor is the Captain Marvel an important, liked or respected character, nor was she given a tryout in a well-received MCU movie before she was sent off to blather. Her copy was poorly written, and the trailers didn’t prime the general audience to receive her positively, quite the contrary. Not to mention that Wonder Woman came out two years ago to huge acclaim, so her “first WAHMAN HERO!” looks like stolen valor.
Glibs, I’m in the middle of a very contentious mediation. I want to remind everyone NEVER STICK IT IN CRAZY!
I’m paying alimony for life because of that. So no reminder needed.
I got out lucky when my ex died voluntarily. I wish someone of you would have alerted me to NEVER STICK IT IN CRAZY thing. How was a country boy like me so supposed to know?
I’m here to help the younger FourScores reading this.
You are a good man, Chafed. For all those unmarried Glibs, gender of choice, pay heed to Chafed when he speaks
The problem with Not Sticking It In Crazy is that sometimes the crazy is only realized after much damage is done.
Got divorced in Florida?
You shouldn’t have to pay alimony after you are re-married.
I knew a bat-shit crazy hot girl in college – goth and tattooed (before tattoos were a thing), she also did some modeling on the side.
Totally fucking messed in the head but that body… was something marvelous to behold. I stuck it in crazy and I was proud of it! I even thought of marrying her,
And then – as the weeks went on – I noticed the scars where she had cut herself… the episode where she chased – for a good half mile – a raven from tree to tree… the time she pointed a gun at different cars as I drove her somewhere… the Diamanda Galas albums… how she wanted me to hit her (I refused).
Eventually I broke it off: “I can’t give you the help that you need”
and, as she left my apartment, I said: “Enjoy that white trash life of yours.”
And she kicked the door and I never heard from her again – thank Big JuJu.

So you are saying she liked it in the butt?
Damn I’m sick of all this pro-commie and socialist shit.
Wolverines!!!
At our age? More like ” Boys! Avenge me! Avenge me!”
Dammit, you’re depressing me now….
I can still march and and fight if need be. I’m not _that_ old. Just put me in the ahem “reserve” battalion
or the “human shield” category.
or, to quote Woody Allen, “In the event of war, I’m a hostage.”

“Why I’m Suing Twitter
written by Meghan Murphy
This is a response to “Who Controls the Platform?“—a multi-part Quillette series authored by social-media insiders. Submissions related to this series may be directed to pitch@quillette.com.
Progressives who claim that “reality has a liberal bias” may be correct on certain issues. But problems emerge when the facts don’t co-operate with the liberal narrative. We saw an example recently, when it emerged that actor Jussie Smollett had been formally charged with making up a hoax hate-crime involving MAGA-hat-wearing men assaulting him with bleach, a noose and racist, homophobic epithets. As Quillette’s Andy Ngo noted, Smollett’s original claim attracted an outpouring of performative sympathy from an all-star cast of liberal grandees. But when it turned out the attack never happened, most of those same commentators kept mum. A similar pattern played out with the boys from Covington Catholic High School caught on video at the Lincoln Memorial: Too often, observers seize on a fashionable narrative and either reject or ignore evidence that falsifies it—because what counts for them is less about the actual truth of a claim, and more about how much on-brand social-media value is associated with boosting it. Call it doublethink or virtue-signaling. But whatever label you choose, the phenomenon has real effects on public policy—as my own experience shows.
Earlier this year, lawyers acting on my behalf filed a legal complaint against Twitter in California. The social media behemoth has been suspending accounts, not because users break Twitter rules, but because they break rank. Despite repeated claims that the platform exists as a space for free speech, and the company’s professed public commitment to refrain from banning users for ideological reasons, Twitter is now doing just that. Those who fail to adhere to the company’s preferred politics are picked off, with no accountability to speak of.”

What’s that Voltaire quote? Anyway, Meghan Murphy is a complete jackass, but she shouldn’t be suspended for expressing her jackass opinions.
Disptcg from the “weather is not climate” team
On Monday, the British Met Office recorded the U.K.’s warmest winter day on record. In Chile, January temperatures in the capital city of Santiago beat the previous record by a full degree Celsius. Globally, the last five years were collectively the world’s warmest ever. Ever.
The world is losing the race to curb carbon dioxide emissions.
Ask the people in Truckee how that global warming thing is coming along. Or the folks in Butte, where they just declared a school snow day for the first time in more than thirty years.
But they don’t count.
It’s easy to break records for hottest weather, when you are busy changing the history of observations to read cooler (supporting the warming narrative).
OK, then.
*swats foot-long dragonfly*

I liked it better the other way

Ahem, whatever did happen to our resident Lizard overlord?
You rang?
? Oh my.
Yeah, and my brilliant smut got pulled by Amazon, but THAT didn’t. And yes, my smut was, in fact, fucking brilliant.
Why did they pull your smut?
Apparently someone complained that it violated their terms of service/community standards. Whatever that is.
That doesn’t make much sense. Amazon sells all kinds of adult books.
No, it doesn’t but they act on complaints. They don’t verify anything.
Challenge it and they might return it.
After Castalia House catalogue got completely purged from Amazon, they managed to get it up again, and they are as disliked over there as anyone this side of Richard Spencer.
I did challenge it, but the irony is that the sequel (it was a series, albeit incomplete) was left alone. But who wants to read a book 2 when there is no book 1?
That said, I pulled it off the web completely. It’s freaking brilliant, but it would tarnish my Moriah Jovan brand if it ever got out that the smut’s pen name was me.
Also, current SJW environment makes it “problematic” enough I’d be afraid it could be tracked back to me.

I…uh…sorry?

LOL Sorry. Didn’t mean to take that out on you.

Wow, the author looks like she’s been busy.
“‘No Allegations of Human Trafficking’ and ‘Women Could’ve Walked Out’ In Florida Massage-Parlor Prostitution Stings
Authorities are walking back big claims about an international human-trafficking ring involving Patriots owner Robert Kraft.”

TW: TOS
That’s a tough nut to crack.
Speaking of Toxic Masculinity – from Animal’s post earlier – the “Cold Pursuit” flick starring Liam Neeson out now is more than worth catching in the theater. Don’t even worry about the trailer, it doesn’t capture the humor and angles the flick uses at all – it’s vastly more/better than “Taken in the Snow”.
Funny, violent, extremely politically incorrect and painfully honest with men and fatherhood. Highly recommended! Catch it before it disappears.
OT but thanks for the They Shall Not Grow Old recommendation!
No worries. It’s still playing locally too.
Loved Darkman so much that I never miss any of his films. Thanks, I’ll check it out, though the title does make it sound like he made another “I’m an angry father and you hurt my family!” movie.
It is much more along the lines of “average” (if large) older guy with no “special skills” goes on revenge spree. The kind of thing where a guy gets out of breath choking a guy out and has to take a breather before finishing.
So speaking of Everyman, try this book: Fat Vampire.
Oooh I like a lot of him and his buddies Platt and I forget the other one’s books. Too bad they crank out so many ideas they sometimes forget to continue other series in progress.
“Fat Vampire: Tastes Like Chicken” was all I needed to one-click on it immediately.
I concur on “Cold Pursuit.” I was expecting just another man-goes-after-killer-of-his-loved-one movie, but it was so much better.

Totally unexpected.
Gulden Draak Ale aged in Calvados barrels is deelish. That is all.
Do the bottles look different? What should I be looking for?
It’s hard to read, but it says “Calvados Barrel Aged” above the name and “Ale aged in Calvados barrels” in smaller font at the bottom of the label.
I haven’t seen it yet, but I’m guessing it looks like this.
I really enjoyed their previous barrel aged offering, so I’m looking forward to this one. Thank you for bringing it to my attention.
Yikes.
Mom and dad have been doing counseling for a while now. My dad has asperger’s and it messed up their relationship and they’re working on it. As a favor to mom, the brother and I talked to the therapist with her. New (to me) building; new person to talk to in a professional setting, (kinda ironic, coming from me and my lifestyle, don’tcha think?) me having to talk about that things that I normally don’t talk about….pretty much all things that will send my anxiety through the room.
Internally freaking out the whole time. I’m not sure if anyone noticed my voice breaking a bit, but I certainly did and that only leads further down the panic hole. Afterwards went out to eat with the fam and just couldn’t get my brain back to normal levels.
Finally back at home. One more errand to run before I pour myself a stiff drink and decompress. Dad is sick and mom has a big day tomorrow so I anticipate that they’ll go to bed early. Then I’m sparking a fat bowl and in the privacy I should recover fairly quickly.
A First World Problem day, to be sure, but it’s gonna feel good to back into a normal headspace.
This is a constant struggle. Especially the voice thing. Feels like I’m getting reedy and quieter. (Except for meeting up with deadhead and Hobbit and his wife a few weeks ago. That was comfortable.)
I was asked last night by an instructor to help present material we’ve developed during the program for the dog and pony show the dean puts on for area employers. This was out of nowhere and ratcheted up my stress, but weirdly, I’ll have an easier time giving the presentation than I did discussing it with the guy.
Something that helps sometimes: Fisherman’s Friend lozenges. I had it recommended by a singer for throat warmup.
