Greetings, Glibs.
You know I love each and every one of you. Perhaps some more than others. đ
However, some of you are about to be unglibbed.
As you all know, we are well over 1 million comments. Since our humble beginnings in February 2017, we’ve had 3,336 posts published (well, 3,337 if you count this one). Registered users stands at 843.
Of those 843 registrants, how many do you recall seeing?
And there’s the rub.
Each registration takes up space in the site database. We’re a bit of a shoestring operation; a larger database starts to translate into higher server bills.
That’s not the main problem, though. Security is pretty good here at Glib HQ. DreamHost does a good job on the server side, and I have a variety of measures and contingencies in place within our WP installation and elsewhere. But there is no denying that having a large number of registered-but-inactive users — people who have the ability to comment and throw links into those comments — starts to be a security issue.
Of those 843 registrants, fewer than 200 are/have been active on the site. That leaves a significant number of registered accounts just floating around out there.
You know where this is going.
Starting this week, I’ll be degrading those unused accounts as a first step toward eliminating them. This will be a gradual process, so registered users who want to remain thus, have a chance to do so.
Anyone who is active on the site will not degraded…unless they pay extra to Webdom for the service, of course. If you DO find that you have trouble logging in, please get in touch with me through the usual tech support form.
OK, now that the housekeeping is out of the way, let’s go over what will be posted on the site this week for your edification and delight.
—————————————
There are three things you can count on in life. Well, not really three. There’s taxes and death, and…. No, I guess it is three. Links! Of course we’ll have links! Banjos, Swiss, Brett L, OMWC, Spud, and perhaps other designated hitters, will bring you links.
On Monday, Animal has another installment of bolt gun history on tap for us, and I have a super easy recipe in the evening.
Banjos attempts to recap Spygate for us Tuesday midday. Poor Mythical Libertarian Woman says she’s too crazy busy at work all weekend to get time to watch and write for you about Woke Charmed. Personally, I think she just needed a week off from it. We will have something related for you in the usual time slot, however.
Wednesday (uh-oh!). Be prepared for your regularly scheduled lunch hour horror show The Hat & The Hair! Later on, Tonio stops in with Part 8 of The Glibening.
In the Thursday midday spot, Trashy takes on the EPA in the next episode of Standard Libertarian Disclaimer. I.B. McGinty shares Part Two of his excellent Murphy bed project in the just-before-bedtime post.
Friday, everyone’s favorite mother stops by midday, and one or another Cryptid will be sure to bring you an evening post.
Get into the weekend with Mexican Sharpshooter’s beverage post at the normal time Saturday. Then, Spudalicious brings us Saturday evening links. Hopefully, he’ll be more inspired this week so I don’t have to listen to OMWC cackle about good help being so hard to find.
Want to be among the illustrious Glibs noted on the Contributing Writers’ page? Get busy! You can see we accept a huge variety of content and are truly grateful for same.
See you in the funny papers!
Time to ante up. Y’all need to remind me now and then. I lose track.
No, while grateful for all the support, that was completely not my message here. I was just trying to head off the panicky emails from 643 registered users who suddenly can’t log in. đ
Well I just donated. The rest of you knuckleheads should too.
Recently my brother and I spoke about our family land. He said something that really drove it home for me. “If we ever lose this we will never have something like this again.”
The same if true of this site. It is a forum like no other. If we lose it we will never have this again.
I think the Glibertariat has created something unique, indeed. Every once in a while I get an email from someone who mentions something from the community that really helped them, and that makes the site work worthwhile to me.
Thanks for donating both cash and content to keep us going, Suthen.
I dropped a comfortable sum a short while back.âWhen I found out how much it was in Canuck bucks, I damn near had a stroke.
GIVE ‘TIL IT HURTS! (Or until SP tells you to stop . . . )
I just made a donation. I felt guilty for getting some glibwork done on items I own instead of buying merch.
Hopefully in a few weeks I’ll have something else to show…
Thanks, Not Adahn. However, this is a guilt-free zone!
Eh, it’s not that I’m opposed to buying merch, I’m just not a T-shirt and G-string kind of guy.
That’s really fine. We get a teeny tiny percentage from merch, but having it available is more about secret recognition signals. We don’t count on it for funding.
Who needs T-shirts ?
Right ?
That’s 4 but I don’t know how much longer I can keep this up.
No wait.
Counting to 4 was actually 5 and then this makes 6.
Math is hard.
I don’t see how you prolific regulars do it.
Easy – we have no life.
What are these bogus accounts? Adbots?
No, they are mostly people from TOS who registered at the beginning and just haven’t participated.
Ah.
Wait — there were 643 other commentators at HyR?
They’re all Tulpa clones.
Probably not, just lurkers like me.
I participate every day.
I spend more time than I should reading almost every post.
I seldom post unless it is to respond to a post I feel I have something to say to add value.
I’m always on my phone and cannot post links .
Are accounts like mine the ones you are going to ban ?
Does this post count to my total ?
I’ve seen the list. I wish I could tell you.
Are you sworn to secrecy or just a meanie ?*
*add one more to my total
With Spud and OMWC, it’s safe to always default to snarky.
OneOut, I believe you post more than you think. Your avatar is so memorable it’s easy to know when you have posted.
Exactly what a Russian bot would say.
There’s probably a way to weed out the lurkers and drop just the accounts who don’t even lurk.
We are not to everyone’s taste (shockingly), but when we were new, people had no way to know, so signed up. Then they got to know us and never came back. I take it personally. As should you all.
I wouldnt want to post at any site that would have me.
Let’s dox them!!!!11!!!!
I hope so. I was a constant lurker/rare commenter at TOS, and Im the same here.
Comment. You know the worst we do is tell you to Fuck off, Tulpa.
Hey now, you’re a mock-star
Get your game on, go play.
Hey now, you’re a meow-meow,
You’re from Meow Town,
Okay!
Hey now, let your fur down,
Put your paws up,
Let’s play!
Our cat loves that song.
Questioning the validity of that statement. I thoughts cats don’t GAF.
But even an infrequent comment is a comment. It’s not a totally unused account.
Whew !
Good to know.*

Have you tried sending dick pics to Jesse? I think that should keep your account current.

Thanks for reminding me to sign on to my Russian bots for a bit.
Hey! I thought last night’s installment was pretty damned inspired. And funny too. Don’t forget funny.
I laughed.
Yes I did*
*that 3 more but my fingers are getting tired
Been busy all week, so if this Heaton/Bragg video from TOS has been linked, I do not apologize.
Ok, those guys are great. I’mma send this to my proggie friend in my ongoing attempt to convince her that libertartians aren’t just extreme Republicans.
These videos are helping me make headway in that regard. The Remy ones, not so much. I think it’s because she’s a racist.
No, Remy can’t reach any leftists–his satire is much too biting to win friends. I mean, she probably is a racist, too. But, you gotta figure she’s gonna hate on Remy either way.
So, the overspammy comments will be degraded first, so we don’t clog the comments tables?
Um, no…of course not. What do you mean?
I’m kinda curious who the most chatty commenters are… but I’m also not going to push to make that content public lest we start get compeditive over it.
Yeah, there is SO MUCH I will never make public. That’s just one of the things.
The others include the spyware that records everybody fapping just in case they cross the founders as well as the never-to-be-aired H&H warty huge an crossover porno episode.
Every single one of Count Potato’s Twitter link posts.
thicc ?
I would have gone with the Demi Rose ones.
Add those to the list. Hell, let’s just send royal tater packing. I don’t like the tuber competition.
The tuber wars have begun.
I’ve already got him beat. I have a third eye.
You’re just jelly my link comments are better than your links posts.
Nay. I have no willpower not to click on your Twitter links, and almost all of them make me want to start throwing things.
“You know I love each and every one of you. Perhaps some more than others.”
I have a shirt that says “I’m moms favorite”. I feel a little guilty wearing it around siblings, it’s a little too on the nose.
You know I love each and every one of you.
Many years ago a gal I was dating dragged me to a Diana Ross concert. Diana stopped in the middle of a song and told the audience, “You know I love each and every one of you.”
I thought it was lame pandering. The gal I was with said, no, she’s being sincere, and what a loving person she is!
I don’t remember going on any more dates with her.
So sorry for your Ross.
Great drugs and mediocre sex have that effect on a man.
Tis true.*
*9. or 10. I can’t remember. It’s either 9 posts and 10 beers or 10 beers and nine posts. I no longer can keep up.
SP if you have time could you sort this out for me ?
I’m desperate to keep up my club dues.
Oh shit.
Well, see you everyone. It was super fun getting to know you.
Heya SP- thanks for relaying the message. You’re the best den-mother ever!
Yes, that’s true. Thank you for noticing. And thank you for offering to help a fellow Glib in need.
YOUR account is safe.
*curtsies*
Suck butt.
Quit steppin on your own hose, smoke-head
You want me to do that NOW? Tell me to quit breathing, while you’re at it.
Is there anyone in this day and age who doesn’t eat ass?
Proctologists would be my guess.
I don’t think it’s as common as you are trying to insunuate.
^ Closet ass eater ^
Thanks MikeS. That’s a wrap. You win today’s internet.
Hey–if we donate enough, can we get Doug Marcaida to record a video of him saying that?
It would make several of us happy to have that little vid/gif.
This comment… will keeeuul.
Thanks, man!
Is this a call to get me to write more movie reviews?
I enjoy them. And I’m the only one whose opinion truly matters, after all.
Film Noir! Anything film noir!
Only the ones by blacklisted ones…
Yes. I wish you’d bring some of your blog content over here more often. Its very good.
Seriously, thanks to everyone who writes for the community. That’s a huge donation of time, energy, and expertise. Sure, we need some funds trickling in for server bills, but we also need contributed content.
However, don’t worry if you personally can’t do both or either. It’s truly not required to be a member of this community. We’re about more than that.
What kind of contribution would help? I have no idea what this costs, so is there a subscription rate that you can recommend?
I’ll reiterate that I’d donate regularly if you made Glibs a Brave verified publisher so I could donate crypto to you.
If all 250ish active accounts here used Brave and donated 20BAT a month, which is about what I get just from dismissing the ads I get every now and then, Glibs would get around $1,850/mo. That’d surely pay the bills.
Well, we have a fine line to tread. We need enough but not too much coming in. We need to stay under a certain threshold (which I can’t recall offhand) to keep the Foundation beneath the tax man’s radar.
Have you gotten tax-exempt status from the IRS? Given the content published here you could certainly argue for 501c3 status under the educational exempt purpose. There might be other possibilities too.
Not sure if it’s been done before, but would you consider video posts? I’ve got a couple ideas on landscaping tools and tips on using them. I wouldn’t be able to make the videos until things slow down in a month or two, but throwing the idea around in my head.
Honestly, I’d mainly be doing them to feed my vanity. I just want to show off my boyish good looks and how huge and ripped I am.
That reminds me, I narrated the video I took of the “Build Your Own Candy Bar” machine at Hershey PA as if it were a wildlife documentary, and I wanted to find out if I could get that posted here.
Yep! Email me. website at this site.
I sent an email to what I think you said the address was.
Of course, we post video posts. Seen the animated Hat & Hair?
If that ripped and boyish good looks part be true, just send direct to Jessie and I think you’ll be safe.
At least until he tires of you.*
*7 or maybe 8. I can’t remember now. Damn this is hard. How do you guys do this day in and day out
We don’t kep count, and just <!– Comment –>

I’m my own slave.
Question for y’all: would you use a decentralized social media platform created by a blockchain company?
I’m on the fence. Signed up for the beta because I’m curious. They claim they’ll have zero censorship/bans/bots/trolls/etc and that you’ll be rewarded for your posts with a crypto token you can use to boost your visibility, but I don’t see it solving the core issue with social media (e.g. that it’s brain poison).
A blockchain is still susceptible to majority takeover, so I don’t know that it’s any real solution.
While true, a centralized platform is already taken over by the company running it, so that doesn’t seem like one of the issues to me.
Also on the fence. I need the ability to have an account where I don’t need to use my real name if I want to talk about certain topics (politics for example), because of my real line of work. On Twitter, at least I can use my Glib ID and not have it come up in a search on my name.
I wonder how many are in the currently inactive but formerly active category. There’s a lot of names I haven’t seen lately, although I don’t comment as much as I used to either.
Users who have been active in the past will be marginally affected, but their accounts will not be deleted.
How many are Preet ?
Or Tulpa socks?
Just the one.
Sure you are. Eff off, Russianbot Tulpa.
Apparently my local chipmunk was a female, because there are now five of the little rodents in my backyard.
I know they are some of the most destructive vermin mankind can face, but holy crap are they adorable.
When we went on vacation to Skytop Lodge, those little guys were everywhere. Can confirm adorableness.
Are they that destructive? There were a zillion of them around here back when a neighbor had a massive bird feeder. Way fewer chipmunks and squirrels now. Anyway, I don’t recall them going any damage.
Honestly? Maybe not. Until I moved here I’ve never lived with them. I only encountered them during camping trips where they were known as “mini-bears” for their ability to get into packs and consume your food supply. They may not be that bad in a residential situation.
They’ll damage your lawn, but not your house.
Well, they generally don’t chew wood.
But I forgot about the potential to change drainage patterns you mentioned.
They can definitely dig up gardens, and dig out areas under walkways and driveways, and around foundations and outside basement walls that can then fill up with rain. So they can do damage.
Anyway, never keep in food in a tent.
They did most of their damage when you dropped your packs to go refill your water bottles or take a piss.
Though the bear bag wouldn’t stop them either.
I had a squirrel that would come to the door and beg until you fed it some nuts. I have a video somewhere of him. He was around for about 6 mo.s and poof, gone. I liked him, despite all the squirrel hatred I’ve seen around here.
Sounds like a well trained squirrel. My hatred for them is threefold
1) I’ve had to shovel enough tree rat piss soaked nest material out of my attic to last a lifetime. They are disgusting creatures.
2) they clean out my unprotected bird feeders in a matter of hours
3) im becoming more and more convinced that they’re responsible for the chew marks on the lattice around our house.
Red or gray? (I ain’t asking bout the wine nor drapes)
1) Steel mesh
2) Pellet gun and/or electricity
3) It’s your Spawn.
Indubitably
Most appropriate, my chum.
Have I posted lately? I forget. I forget other things, I think, but I canât remember what they are. But then Iâm almost as old as….I forget his name. Oh yeah the fella with the hornets.
This should hold me for awhile. Wonât it?
There are 643 Canadian accounts? Who are we kidding? This is about us.
JUST SAY IT. YOU’RE COMING AFTER CANADIANS.

He knows
*lifts collar* begin operation day of the brake. *starts looking around* No STEVE I said day of the RAKE not…
The exchange rate means 643 Canadian accounts are the equivalent of about 1.76 US accounts.
You people are so paranoid.
Just because we’re paranoid, that doesn’t mean they aren’t out to get us.

Sweet mother of God. It’s been raining for the last month it seems. Finally cleared up this weekend. I went out to grill some brats and dogs. Is it possible to get West Nile, Zika, and Malaria at the same time? The mosquitos are out of control.

Anyone who is active on the site will not [be] degradedâŚunless they pay extra to Webdom for the service, of course.
Wait, that’s available?âWhat other undocumented features exist on this site?
Asking for a friend.
Well, your account was safe, until you pointed out my phone typo.
I most certainly did not.
I merely corrected it in a tasteful, low-key fashion approved by the Chicago Manual of Style.â(Don’t ask me which edition — they’ve all become such a blur in my advanced age.)
Whatever you do, donât ask for âAnimal Styleâ.
*shudder*
That’s what she said.
Or Gangnam style.
Leave me out of this.
Comes with grilled opinions and melted minds?
Animal Style, for the unenlightened, is a way to order fries off the secret menu at In’and’Out Burger. They come covered with Thousand Island dressing.
That doesn’t sound half bad.
The fries are still trash, but at least there’s something to distract you from the fact that they fried them wrong.
If we have been unglibbed, do we go back to the other site?
*Sobs uncontrollably*
You don’t have to go back
but you can’t stay here.
âRawhide!â
I was thinking more Semisonic, but that works too.
{insert sound of bullwhip cracking}
One of the things I learned as a rennie is that cowboys probably would have had a snakewhip, but a bullwhip is easier to crack. Signal whip is even easier.
Home, not back, but anyway, about a certain tiny thing I sent you, any interest? And I have more adventures on the way,
thanks for all you do SP, and all the Overlords of course,
I know the lyrics, but was TOS really “home” or had it become just a flophouse full of unsavory characters before you all left?
See your email.
“[W]as TOS really âhomeâ or had it become just a flophouse full of unsavory characters before you all left?”
Damn, that’s good.
I’m a Ravens and Orioles fan if that helps.
I drank a Some Beach by Tall Tales Brewery this evening.
I haven’t read a book recently, sorry about that.
*Panics*
I WILL PUT ON THE T-SHIRT AND G-STRING.
Iâm a Ravens and Orioles fan if that helps.
Now, you’re DEFINITELY being deleted. OMWC will plead for me to let you stay, however.
I don’t hate Green Bay?
So, how did the TC + UCS meetup go? Nobody is saying anything about it. It got out of hand and someone was killed, right?
We disappeared Enough About Palin.
I’ll miss Jimbo.
I mean, not a lot, but I’ll miss him some.
It’s not a miss if you manage to wing him.
Did he wear his “Your A Moron” shirt?
I don’t believe so.
“Dead bird”
If I leave here tomorrow,
Would you still remember me?
FREEBIRD!!!!!!
*lifts lighter*
No one died. UCS is great!
Leap chose a terrific restaurant and a good time was had by…well, me.
Thanks guys!
Did UCS order a water and a bread basket?
BBQ beef sandwich. I couldn’t find any salt for the chips, so I had to dose them with hot pepper vinegar alone.
Minnesoda BBQ?
*shudders*
With extra lye.
…the only reason I don’t pile on is I kinda love hominy.
* waiting for morning links giggle *
Wouldn’t pay the $1.25 to upgrade to fries?
Somehow I thought the meet up was tomorrow, so the TC guys would have a chance to get their clothes out of the dry cleaners, no? Did UCS show you his mock wood tick bite?
I’m pretty sure I’m getting axed. Until then, enjoy boobs.

I promise that I am doing research on more booze articles. It’s just that drinking takes up so much time.

Hi. I know I haven’t been active for a while – life has REALLY gotten in the way in the past year or so – but I was actually hoping to start getting more engaged with this site when I saw this. So, you know, please don’t delete me or anything.
Damn, there goes all my Russian Bot accounts.

Jokes aside, thanks for the work and care y’all do for the site. Expect a donation in the coming days.
Check’s in the mail!
So. An African guide takes a Checkoslavacian and a Great White Hunter on Safari.
The Check gets separated from the group and is devoured by a pride of lions of one male and his females.
The African guide and The Great White Hunter decide to kill the offending lion because now it is a man killer.
The African guide assures The Great White Hunter that the male lion is the culprit.
So, Great White Hunter shoots and kills the male.
Upon inspection they find there is no Checkoslavacian inside the male.
So boys and girls. The moral to this story is…….
If an African tell you that the check is in the mail don’t believe him. *

I gotta say, Andy Ngo gives off vibes that he’s trying to monetize victimhood.
I never got that impression. He’s done plenty of work exposing hate hoaxes.
^This. The guy has an entire megathread on twitter that still gets updated on all the hoaxes.
Hey, I’m going to that as well. If I remember, I should document the experience for an article.
Stay safe! *wink wink*
Too bad Tim Pool set it up in New Jersey. If he had it in one of the philly suburbs in Pennsylvania I, and I’m sure plenty of other people would be armed. Oh well, maybe next time.
Please do and as Rhywun said, stay safe.
I should be fine. I look more like a hippy than a nazi, I’ll be camouflaged.

I commented this morning and used one of the two Glib pint glasses – 6 times, as it turns out – that just came in the week or so.
Will donate directly but would like to know more about the WebDom option.

Nice. I’ve got double posting perfected, but I’ve never been able to throw up an empty post.

BREAKING: Gun Grabbers Lie
https://twitter.com/RealSaavedra/status/1135326262627430400
So Democrats are OK with depriving someone of Constitutional rights because they were placed on some secret government list with no due process? A list which probably has a heavy “disparate impact” at this moment in history?
Got it.
Might as well, they’ve been forgetting what the hell due process is when it comes to almost everything else.
So Democrats are OK with depriving someone of Constitutional rights
because they were placed on some secret government listwith no due process?The only Constitutional rights Democrats support aren’t mentioned anywhere in the Constitution. Like abortion, health care (insurance?), not having to hear opposing viewpoints, etc.
Look up Bill 71 up here.
Or was she lying about wanting to “protect gun rights” during her years as an upstate representative?
No, she meant it then. Just as sincerely as she believes the opposite now.
So, her views have evolved?

So, I used to do crossword puzzles in the local rag. I haven’t subscribed for years, but would like to do a daily crossword.
Any recommendations?
NYT has a phone app. It’s the most consistent crossword app I’ve found. Most of the rest are either mindnumbingly repetitive, stupid easy, or a bunch of low quality clues. I found one other app that was okay, but it suffered from all three issues at times.
Yeah, I thought about them. Can you print/
None of the apps I’ve tried let you print. I did a quick search for “printable crossword” and got a bunch of hits. Most didn’t look legit, but WaPo was on the list.
Thanks, I did the same. I hate to give those fuckos the money.
I give the NYT 39.95 a year for their crossword subscription, you can print and the archive goes back to 1993, they also have extra puzzles acrostics and cryptic crosswords once a week, and daily Sudoku and other puzzles, For 10cents a day it’s better than buying an actual paper.
Thanks. I guess I feel better about subscribing to something that will help my brain instead of something that makes me want to blow it out…
They sell those LARGE PRINT crossword books with 500 pages at every gas station to keep you old folks busy, isn’t that enough?

If you say so. I suck at crosswords.
Seattle Times runs the NYT crosswords (albeit several months late) accessible for free.
Not that I’m a geek about that, but I do know my epee from my orca.
Yes, but what about your Ural?
Thanks!

Not to necro-post but I just saw the video of Charlamagne da God ripping out Elizabeth Warrenâs soul.

I didn’t even get to the part that is relevant. Didn’t Amazon just net a profit for the first time like 2 years ago? And now she wants to suck them dry immediately? Good plan.
I didn’t make it past “There is so much change we need to make in this country”. WTF is it with lefties and CHANGE!!1!!?
Quit making me like Morrissey!
Morrissey hasnât turned right: our establishment has turned insane
If cunty Bragg hates you, I need to take another look.
Pretty much.
His hook up with Wilco wasn’t bad. Walt Whitman’s Niece is a good song.
Yeah, I have the Wilco stuff somewhere.
He’s still cunty.
I used to have “Back to Basics”. That commie had a few decent tunes but yeah, he’s an asshole.
The Guardian are cunts too.
And I think the article is on point. For example, Basic positions considered ‘moderate’ are now ‘far right’ and it’s not because ‘we’ changed, it’s that the left have gone bonkers and radicalized. The way I see it is we’re all standing still as they run left.
A spin on Reagan’s ‘I didn’t leave the Democrat party….” is I didn’t choose to be conservative, the liberals determined and dictated that I was.
Fuck Billy Bragg, and also fuck Woody Guthrie, but yes, Mermaid Ave are two absolutely terrific albums.

Ok, you got me. I’ve lurked long enough. I think I made about 3 comments in several years at TOS as well. I should also chip in a few bucks before I pay the rest of my bills and it’s all gone again.
Never spend money here that should go to actual bills.
But I guess I won’t delete you now that you’ve de-lurked.
Oh, and since nobody else is saying it, “Fuck off, Tulpa!”
So, I’m supposed to meet UCS tomorrow, but I don’t own a proper pair of meeting gloves. This could go sideways.
Then wear a Fedora.
^ good advice
I love fedoras and don’t understand some of the hate they get these days. Yea, some people wear them with baggy jeans and t-shirts with a corny joke on the front, but that’s not the fedora’s fault. They still look really sharp with a suit and/or peacoat. And one of my favorite looks is dress slacks, a short-sleeve button-up shirt (usually Cubavera brand) and a fedora. I have an oxblood felt fedora and another one made of almost-white straw with a black band. I also have a black pork pie, but that’s not technically a fedora (it also makes me look Amish or Jewish).
… But here lately, I’ve been wearing flat caps a lot more since I find it easier to take it off and stuff it in my pocket when I go indoors. I also bought a Sterkowski brand “docker” cap (like a modern beanie, but made of cotton). It’s a departure from my usual early 1900s mode of dress, but it looks nice with a leather jacket.
Hell, maybe I should submit an article about hats…
Stories about hats will never gather traction this site. Never!
What the well dressed Glib about town is wearing this season.
I think spats and waistcoats will be making a comeback.
I know someone who wants spats.
Gentlemen’s Emporium sells them, and Jas. Townsend & Son has a few pairs as well.
Most of the hats people call fedoras these days are actually trilbys.
That’s true, and they’re usually made of very cheap cotton in hokey color schemes. You get what you pay for.
A real fedora made of felt or wool is a work of art.
My trilby is Italian made wool in a muted pattern & color. The gold standard for the hat is Ian Richardson in House of Cards.
Thank you for saying it so I didn’t have to.
Vinyl surgical gloves
I believe surgical gloves or an encounter suit are acceptable substitutes.
So, it was brought up on the twitters that we should do a glibs podcast. I’m amenable to the idea of participating, but fuck me if I’m going to herd those cats. Would anyone be interested in even listening? My last audio only post only got like 5 hits.
I enjoyed the audio posts that you did here.
Since you donât like compliments I will add an insult. Who in the fuck likes a shitty band like Collective Soul and actually admits it?
I dunno, this sounds like a Glibs anthem if I ever heard one.
I thought about suggesting it in the past, but figured that nobody would listen. I have a face for radio and a voice for print, but I’d be willing to fill silent space if it comes to fruition.
It comes down to content and vibe.
I listen to the Fifth Column; it’s more warm than great, and I don’t really learn anything from the pups. I’m trying to imagine what I would do with that cast to fix it; IOW, how would a GlibCast be better?
There are lots of things here that would kill a podcast for me. I don’t want to hear about punchable faces or why 2 Corinthians is the holiest president ever; I wade through truckers and churchladies all day and don’t need any more rationalization in my life. I don’t mute anyone, but some avatars get scanned over very quickly most of the time in a way that would be difficult and tiresome for a podcast. Fifth Column calls out the stupidity on all sides; if a GlibCast had a recurring “but whatabout Herself” answer every time Trump made a mistake, I simply wouldn’t listen. I hate Hillary, but Benghazi isn’t the answer to any of our problems.
I don’t know anything about boxing but… was his trainer Butterbean?
https://twitchy.com/gregp-3534/2019/06/02/meet-andy-ruiz-jr-boxings-newest-heavyweight-champion-of-the-world/
I watched the fight. Never been impressed with Joshua even when he beat Klitschko (well past his prime). AJ promoter Hearn is a complete asshole. AJ himself seems like a cool dude, but heâs no great by any means. Check out Deontay Wilder if you want to see a beast with that killer instinct.
aight, I’ve been up since 3am, now 10:45ish local. I might need to sleep soon. I’ll leave you with a re-run to boost my YT stats.
Are you gonna up the hair? Trumpâs new look is not comforting.
If we still have late-niters on, holla atcha boi (yeah, I identified).
Still up – the curse of being on the West Coast.
Is that the true curse–being last for prime-time stuff? If so, you seem to have a sunny disposition than the typical glib.
OK–just sunnier than me.
That might be the first time in my life that someone’s said I had a “sunny disposition.”
Shit–it was supposed to be ‘sunnier’. F M Grammar. Also, I could accurately claim I was saying something in degrees, not in totality.
So, enjoy your accidental compliment!
In my empty head, I keep thinking of people telling me I would love being on the West Coast. They are probably correct, if it weren’t for the people there. Present company possibly excluded.
/spent a week in Portland about 22 years ago. Nice, but, wouldn’t want to live there.
I’m in (well, near) Vancouver, Canada, but in a little less than two weeks the spousal unit and I are moving back to Alberta from whence we came. Our West Coast/Lower Mainland experience has been quite a bit less than idyllic, with overcrowding, traffic congestion, high prices, homelessness, aggravating amounts of petty and personal crime, and the cherry on top’s been a socialist provincial government that’s just Bonkers with a capital “B.” We’ll visit here ’cause we have family, but I’ll be damned if I ever move back to this sh*thole.
I bet it’ll be good to be back in Stampeders territory. And, yes, I am referring to the band.
Seriously, what the hell is it with the NA West Coast? Can’t leave well enough alone, can you, humans? I’m very sorry to hear that Vancouver is getting that, although, I guess I shouldn’t be surprised.
Yep. Sh*tholization does not respect national borders — the entire West Coast of NA is experiencing intense, unrelenting enshittening. It’s depressing, although it’s possible the mega thrust earthquake we’re due for may perform a hard reset.
If not, there’s always SMOD.
My new mantra.
I lived in San Francisco for 11 months a couple decades ago. It was ideal… beautiful city, great weather. The only problem is I hated everyone else who lived there. So I crawled back to the East Coast with my tail between my legs.
Identified as what?
Boi…male. I mean, what am I, chopped liver here?
Good Lord, Rhy, it’s gotta be, what, close to 1 AM where you are? Too hot to sleep?
The joys of being unemployed.
Actually, a thunderstorm blew through and now it’s beautifully cool and windy.
Used to love it in Calgary and Edmonton when one of the real rippers would peel away from the Rockies and blow through, usually after a really hot day. God’s A/C.
WUT WUT
I’m just a natural late nighter. Since 10 PM, I’ve done the dishes, a load of laundry, jogged a few miles, and am now cooking dinner. I’ll probably give myself a haircut and maybe practice my JavaScript before going to bed.
I know other people are early risers and have families and day-shift jobs and stuff… But for me personally, I never want to be out of bed if the sun isn’t out yet. And I think late night is one of the most beautiful times of the day – when the whole city goes to sleep (here in my medium-sized Ohio town, anyway) and the streets are dead quiet.
Being on the LE side of things, I’ve always liked it when people are generally asleep. Of course, that doesn’t apply here; I want all you schmucks* awake for my benefit.
*not really schmucks. Well, maybe a few…
Also:
!! Holy crap…I get in about a 1-mile walk with my wife when I get home, so a few miles at a quicker pace is…hmmmm.
So much this. Except for the jogging.
I haven’t been on much since the start of summer break. I have read a dozen posts or so in the past month.
Aren’t you typically on ‘later’? I thought I’d seen your posts in the last…..what, 2-3 weeks? I dunno. I lose sense of time with posts around here.
I think the very end of every day in God’s One True Time Zone should be devoted to a Glibs After Dark posting.
Posting? Or an actual nightly article? I would like both, although I’m never sure if I can participate (much less help curate/create an actual article), since I do this at work.
We could start it off with a debate about which is the One True Time Zone.
Q has done an admirable job with Glibs After Dark.
Well, his version is….yeah. I mean, when I can sneak a peek.
Dude, if you want your version then go for it. Otherwise, just enjoy what others offer.
Hell, I’m not complaining!
Wait… We may be talking about different things here.
Multiple choice: a) where the Glib Foundation is registered; or b) wherever SP resides.
Choose wisely.
My first thought was, “whichever time zone has T&C.”
But now, considering everything at stake….
Did I mention I just shot a dono to glibs an hour ago?
Are you volunteering?
I’m nowhere near creative enough to have that kind of continuous output.
As I suspected. Your handle doesn’t lie!

Meh. It’s mostly worked out for me.
How do the ultra woke make it through the day? It seems like a terribly disabling philosophy/religion/belief system.

Good grief, they’re going after drag now? Makes sense, in a way. But just… so sad.
Yes it is. They, the intersectionalists, are intent on remaking the world the way they believe it should be. They won’t adapt to what is, won’t assume someone else has benign intentions, and won’t shrug anything off. I don’t remember ever seeing anything like this. It is the polar opposite of self-help.
And it just shows that you can’t really trust the Left even if they claim to be looking out for your interests (or, what they tell you your interests are). They’ll be nice to you as long as you’re politically useful, but the moment that changes, they’ll throw you to the wolves.
It’s going to be, um, interesting to see what happens in Europe with this importation of people from a culture that executes gays and literally oppresses women in very severe ways. The Left seems intent on bringing as many of these people over as they can and treating them with kid gloves. I’d like to see them justify that to women who’ve been raped or Jews who have been beat up.
While I probably wouldn’t good friends with that guy, it does suck to see your social group not only evaporate, but, also turn on you AND it be a public thing. Since I don’t know him, I don’t know if this is a case of him reaping what/more than he’s sown.
But, yeah; that whole thing makes my head spin.
He said he was considerably older than these pukes. As someone who just passed the half-century mark myself, I expect to see a lot more of this sort of thing. There’s something seriously amiss with a lot of the younger set now.
Could this end up being “waves”, like the various feminism waves, you think?
It’s already a wave.
Is it, now? I’ve not heard it called such. Then again, I don’t typically look for that info.
In all but name.

Iâm hanging out at the IHG (Holiday Inn chain) Army Desert Lodge hotel laundry room trying to get my next 3 days worth of purgatory at least clean and fresh.

A 2-star hotel in Dugway, Utah? Did you lose a bet?
Well it still beats having to drive over Johnsonâs Pass to get to freaking Tooele 1.5 hours to and 1.5 hours back every day.
They are renovating the Dugway base hotel. Pretty nice but I wish theyâd add a wing!! Sold out too often.
Just finished a bottle of Sierra Nevada summer ale. It was meh.
But Iâm in Utah so beggars canât be choosers. Fortunately the PX at Dugway is under Federal jurisdiction, not Latter Day Saints, so I can get full strength beer here.
I’m glad you didn’t blow yourself up or anything.
Thanks! 52 out of 56 modules behaved, and the non-behaviors were minor so we fix them tomorrow and then start cranking the energy.
Velocitas Eradico-
I went to a liquor store in Utah in a very rough part of of SLC and it was everything I hoped for.
Go on…
It was a very strange mix of of down and out looking white people with some downtrodden natives and hispanics thrown in.
To be racially fair, everyone looked like they were homeless or one good domestic incident away from it,
If I post a “you know who else” thing once a week am I safe?
I gotta vote for this. I imagine that being a fun, and quite possibly, educational article.
Oh, Sir Digby, you imagine too much. I’m talking about a comment once a week, not an article
You know who else overcommitted and couldnât deliver?
LOL!
And, Denver–even so, it could be rather grand. It usually is when one pops up. And yeah, I went there.

Your pithy responses are all wrong.
The correct answer is:
“According to the true Mainstream of American Society (nee progressives), this is an alt-right site. And as everyone knows, if you are a member of the alt-right, you are never safe.”
Alternate correct answer:
“You are never safe. The only way to guarantee your safety is with your trusty 9mm at your side”

Thx, SP. Iâll try to buy more swag soon. Hopefully that puts some coin in your pockets. Wish I could do more, but the wife reads the CC bills. *Cuck excuse*
You know, this makes me think of a ‘Merchandise it forward’ campaign: people buy glibs/H&H merch and send it to others.
Yeah, it would be completely against our
betterworse natures, but, if it’s being done with booze, why not merch* that supports the site?*would love to see the brand done through Redbubble, or DesignByHumans, simply due to the range of items and sizes.

It is a perfectly fine thought if you just stop with the headline.
“Everyone is wrong about socialism.”
Although a really good editor could tighten that up.
Either:
“Socialism is wrong”
or
“Everyone is wrong.”
Look at this! I asked for some holla back, and we got us a damned fine late night back-and-forth goin’ on.
Hell yeah!

Broads in daylight? So not Saudi Arabia then!
Nope, good old Anchorage. I was due to spend solstice there but my hosts had to move to the lower 48. Very disappointing.
And by there I meant Fairbanks.
Oh, so you are (yet another*) US glib, then. I was envisioning something more exotic, although Anchorage is plenty exotic from where I sit.
*heh.
I can’t help it if God hates your particular location.
But, yeah, I wish we had a bigger list (ahem) of non-NA glibs to keep me from being provencial in my thinking. Even if it is for a few hours a night.
God hates Anchorage. But we’re 45 minutes from the real Alaska, where people are free to disappear, drown, get mauled, die in avalanches, crash their small plane into a mountain or any other manner of ending a life.
America, Fuck Yeah!
And, Moose. You didn’t include moose. But, they can be an issue just about anywhere in-state, correct?
Oh yeah, tons of moose. Mostly a driving hazard, but a moose will stomp you if you get too close.
As I understand it, they may very well bite you if you try carving your initials in them.
Of course, that could just be the Scandinavian moose.
Unless you are harvesting them for food, then they’re best left alone. Like everything and everyone else up here.
I lived off the road system for 6 or 7 years and it definitely gives you a different perspective on things.
Are you familiar with moose meat? If so, how is it?
Or, is that included in “get mauled”?
Depends on what they eat. Usually gamey unless smoked. Lean, kinda/sorta like lean beef with sugar added.
