My wife took the kids to her mom’s house today, while I stay home to work. I will join them Wednesday afternoon. Kids are off school because, I guess school teachers didn’t get enough paid vacation? I can’t wait for President Kamala Harris to make sure schools are open every day I have to work. So, this basically means I’ll be buying flights of beers all afternoon and taste-testing each and every beer at the greatest nanobrewery in America. I will miss my kids… sometime around tomorrow evening. My wife I’ll miss tonight.
It’s deer season up north, and you know what that means — time to settle some family scores.
Trump honors hero dog at White House. “Dogs… are dirty. Lots of germs, not clean. But this dog is the best of dogs. Great… dog.” I mean, just look at this.

Thanks for making me search FIB. I learnt somethin’ today. Can I go now? My brain is full.
It don’t take a FIB long to get to Minong for how fast they drive…

You will see the continually south of west palm. I haven’t seen any in Orlando so I’m skeptical of the Gainesville count. If they become a real problem, I don’t see the Iguana beating man. Ask the silly mammoths.
Woolly. Not silly. Stoopid phone.
TBH, they were pretty silly.
from Gainesville down to Key West, where they have a habit of shorting out power lines.
Should it really be considered a habit, if you can only do it the one time?
Lol. Good point.
I did read an article a couple years ago about going on a air rifle safari in Puerto Rico to hunt iguana, which are apparently a huge problem there.
Eating the tropical crops.
The wily iguana does not appear to be too elusive, though.
They don’t have any natural predators here, so I guess they aren’t too worried.
What are their natural predators? We need to import some.
Jaguars.
Puerto Ricans?
Why? We have plenty of unnatural predators.
Puerto Rican were-jaguars. I think that should be sufficiently unnatural for you.
I was just going recommend unleashing Florida Man. But your solution is probably less destructive and unnatural.
All you need to do is get Fox News to run a scare story about the amazing high you get from Iguana liver.
This is how you get gorillas throwing gators and sharks!
I have regaled the Glibs with my consternation about FDW policy on non-native species before – and this article touched on the madness. I did not realize that they had backed off on their “you can kill them humanely” stance, but that sounds about exactly right. They are the same way about the asian tiger mosquitoes. They have to “study the impact” of killing that disease carrying, non-native species too.
We ran into a fairly big iguana meeting several families for lunch after church about a month back. The boys were chasing him back and forth along a fence and he got his head stuck trying to sneak under the fence, so I got to pick him up for the kids to see. This one was about 4 or 4.5 feet long, so moderately big. They get maybe a foot longer, but twice or three times as big. The idea that you aren’t allowed to kill these is as stupid as saying you can’t kill a brown norway rat.
The populations have really boomed. We had a cold snap about a decade ago that really took down the population – it killed off all of the big ones. We are long overdue for another one.
I will miss my kids… sometime around tomorrow evening. My wife I’ll miss tonight.
When, do you suppose, they’ll start missing you?
When they run out of cash.
Hey glibs! I’m back from 4 days of sled hockey in St Louis. The Blues practice rink is beautiful. My team went 4-1 and took first in our tier. Our A team took second in the top tier. I had 1 goal and a few assists. Mostly I just babysat the middle of the ice and prevented breakouts. I do need to work on my long shots so I can score from farther out. But I played all but about two shifts in 5 games.
Congratulations. Sounds like you had a great time.
Well done! You go ahead on with yer bad self!
Congrats, nice work!
What’s the difference between regular hockey and sled hockey?
Sled hockey is an adaptive sport for disabled people. Like wheelchair basketball except it’s cool.
Also the Blackhawks win in one and not the other.
Yes also this.
No murderball for you?
Congrats!
Nicely done!
Work is slow. I just relieved 2 people 3 hours before the end of their shift. Coffee & books tonight, hopefully.
When your work is busy, isn’t it usually a bad time for other people?
Not really. When I worked trauma sure, but most everything I do now is scheduled surgeries. People getting their knees fixed or bum gallbladders taken out. Good things.
All I remembered was you put people under for surgery.
I was not aware that selling meth involved shift work.

Iran opted instead to target oil installations of America’s ally, Saudi Arabia,-
Why won’t we develop our nuclear energy again? Let the Middle East be their own problem once we are energy independent.
An unholy alliance of anti-nuke Luddites and petroleum interests. Strange bedfellows, and all that.
Baptists and bootleggers.
Because the Luddites and Greens are Putin’s pawns.
IIRC; with the advances of fracking, we could be now. Except for the local bans on fracking, and it taking a decade to get a pipeline built, and the closing of large areas to drilling, and…
In other words, it’s the fault of Americans who won’t give up their wasteful lifestyles that we’re still importing oil from the Middle East. If they would only do as they were told we could heal the planet and get out of SA at the same time.
Yes comrade! You get it!
The US is already the world leader in oil production (25% more than Saudi Arabia), but it does consume 33% more than it produces. However, the bigger picture is that the oil market is international, everyone vying for all of it (essentially), so you can’t really achieve “energy independence” unless you severely restrict trade. As long as oil is consumed anywhere and the Mid-East supplies a lot of it, we’ll all be in some sense dependent on the Middle East.

Fat Studies
An Interdisciplinary Journal of Body Weight and Society
https://www.tandfonline.com/toc/ufts20/1/1
It is a hefty tome.
Latest Tome:
https://youtu.be/4XvVzeo7JBM
Well, it is a weighty subject.
I can not overstate the gavity of the topic.
It’s a lot to digest.
It does involve a really big movement.
That is a gross mischaracterization.
Thanks a ton.
You know what is sad, is that there is reasonable ground to argue that advertisers promote an unrealistic body image to sell you crap you don’t need. Unfortunately, another set of hucksters is trying to sell you obesity as A-OK.
Nuance is lost on everyone involved.
Sure, but isn’t that what marketing is? They’re either selling you the unobtainable or they want you to buy into delusion.
I’m not saying it should be banned, but discussions about how it can have a negative impact, especially on young people are reasonable. I’ll admit to looking at myself in the mirror and wishing for that chiseled look, even thought I know it’s not necessarily healthy.
Nonsense. Don’t let those marketing geniuses sell you a delusion.
Life is so much more simple when one doesn’t view the messaging from popular culture as some pronouncement from on high.
Popular culture is drinking Bud Light, eating a Big Mac, and listening to Top 40 radio, while arguing about the deeply meaningful issues of the day, Will Bama beat Auburn?, will OSU win, or will sloopy and my brother be on suicide watch? Popular culture is all the people who can quote you the playoff prospects in the NFL but can’t tell you what is in Article I of the Constitution.
Fuck popular culture with a chainsaw.
I mean, there’s nothing inherently wrong with any of those things, but, to continue the analogy, if you only ever eat Big Macs you’re going to have a bad outcome.
Shush! You are right, but it rants better the way I said it 🙂
It ain’t the Big Macs that are getting people fat, it’s the fries and the sugary sodas at McDonald’s.
Many of their burgers are relatively healthy compared to the high-carb sides and drinks.
My favorite bit of gibberish:
“A Queer and Trans Fat Activist Timeline: Queering Fat Activist Nationality and Cultural Imperialism”
I believe NYC banned trans fatties recently…?
Years ago I was sitting in a cafe and a European fellow–who was very obviously gay and had been identified by one of his companions as an opera singer–sees the “NO TRANS FATS” sign and impishly says “what if I prefer my trannies with a little on the chubby side?” in a perfect deadpan.
Everyone stares in horror briefly. One of the workers doubles over laughing, which makes everyone else that much more uncomfortable. Good times.
Good for him. I know the trannies are pissed off at the TERFs. Why the lack of animosity for homosexuals? Is each and every gay man accepting of transsexuals?
/Yes, it’s a real question
From my point of view, there’s nothing in common between gay men and transgenders. I don’t personally know those people and hold a very negative opinion of the activists who claim to represent them.
As well you should, since the activist front of the alphabet soup crew is trying to argue that gay men are bigots if they have no interest in “transmen”…..or, you know, biological women.
They’re just as anti-gay as any fundie.
Maybe not historically, but the massive increase in transgender MtoF in recent years is most likely made up of gay adolescents being convinced that their homosexuality is actually a sign that they are trans.
A lot of it is just kids wanting to be trendy, I’ll wager.
Actually, the number of girls transitioning outnumbers boys transitioning by about 4:1
Doesn’t change my point. Lesbian adolescents are just as susceptible to this crap as gay male adolescents.
From my perspective, trans women are gay men who reject being gay in favor of pretending to be straight.
I have only one data point.
One summer I shared a suite with my hyper-heterosexual roommate and 6 very gay men in the other 3 rooms. 4 of the guys were taking hormones, trying to grow boobs and continually came around wanting to show us their tuck.
This was the era when they had just added the B to LGB and they were already arguing about adding a T. No idea where the Q got in there and how it skipped the line, because it definitely was LGBT first.
Anyway, they were definitely dudes who liked other dudes and liked having boobs and dressing up like women. No clue where they fit on the scale, but they were very campy and loud. Nothing particular against any of them, but they were not the best roommates for college. Too loud, too promiscuous and too little academics going on. Made for a bad place to sleep and/or study.
I dunno. I’m a bit pox-on-both-their-houses with TERFs and trans activists. Both sides seem intent on a one-size-fits-all approach to people struggling through issues of identity where they don’t fall comfortably into social expectations (which is the strongest point of common cause with the L, G and B set.
I’d rather see people having the space to be able to sort out what works for them with neither the demonization by folks who just don’t get it, nor the valorization that getting reassignment surgery is the natural end of that process. But folks don’t like ambiguity, so we have whatever it is we have going on right now.
I think we’d be better off if activists weren’t. Sometimes activism produces a good result, but the activists themselves don’t go away after that, they just find other things to fight, and once barriers are broken down all they can fight is attitudes. Demonizing attitudes, no matter how much they offend you, always goes bad places.
More directly to your question: if you’re viewing everything through a lens of privilege and oppression, cis-men are entirely unaffected by trans-men. Cis-women have folks who have traditionally been raised with male privilege invading their space and claiming common cause without having been hazed by society.
Think black-face vs. 2004’s “White Chicks”
I think MTF are way more hazed by society than cis-women.
I mean, sure. But me having a cluster of negative experiences at the hands of society because I learned how to use a sewing machine at age 6 and made clothes for my little sister’s Barbies, doesn’t make me uniquely well suited to understand growing up black in America…
I confess this whole thing bends my brain. It must take quite a bit of energy to constantly monitor who has oppressed you and one group’s relative level of oppression to another. I don’t know how the various groups keep up with it.
A former co-worker of mine is MtF. She appears to be almost the opposite of noisy ones. She does her job, just wants to live her life, and be who she is. Occasionally on social media she takes on leftist friends over economic issues. I can’t imagine her getting into the victimhood Olympics.
It must take quite a bit of energy to constantly monitor who has oppressed you and one group’s relative level of oppression to another.
Not really. Mind you, I’m specifically using the language of privilege here because it’s going to line up with how it’s talked about elsewhere.
People seem pretty good at tracking things being “unfair” straight out of the box, from my sister and cousin arguing because one got two small gumballs and one got one large one when they were six, to people grousing about pay inequality when they don’t really understand the role of the person they’re comparing themselves to. The issue isn’t that it’s hard to do this, the issue is that it’s too easy to selectively look at an issue where you’re the hero of your own story and everything else is suspect.
“doesn’t make me uniquely well suited to understand growing up black in America…”
True. Although I don’t hear MTF trying to speak for cis-women. I’m mean, I’m sure some are, but the problem is that those people are assholes not that they are transgender.
There’s an asymmetry between organizations and groups for men and women. Male-dominated groups are not often created to deliberately exclude women–think about sports. But many women’s groups exclude men by design. That’s why some feminists who created a safe space for women are pissed when people with penises arrive and start bossing women around. There’s just less room for potential conflict between gay men who are not activists and transgender people.
“That’s why some feminists who created a safe space for women are pissed when people with penises arrive and start bossing women around.”
Well, it’s a common refrain, but when has that actually happened in reality?
College women sports in some US states.
I agree that’s wrong. I thought you were referring to politically feminist spaces.

Hey there, fellow Glibs. Absentee Michael reporting in.
I’m just dropping by to note that Twitter seems to be very, VERY confident that I want to see left wing content and a whole lot of it in my feed lately. Have any of you who are on that shitty site noticed this? Posts have started popping up that are tagged “So-and-so follows such-and-such”, and the accompanying post from such-and-such invariably is a flaming progressive rant of some sort. It’s starting to get a little annoying.
I don’t do Twitter.
There’s nothing there.
They’re trying to save you from your false consciousness. The progressive stance is based solely on science don’t you know.
I haven’t used Twitter that long, but in the last few days I’ve seen more of it, especially Liz Warren stuff. If they are showing left leaners Tweets from righties, then I don’t have a big problem with it. It’s good to get out of your bubble every now and then. If it’s straight up propaganda, then it’s a problem.
No Twitter. No Facebook. No MSM.

“Harry founded the popular restaurant chain Pink Taco when he was just 18 years old, which is frequented by celebrity customers including comedian Russell Brand and actor Johnny Depp.”

How is something called Pink Taco a restaurant not a brothel or strip club? Don’t people know how to market!
Mom’s Want Action disagrees.
He didn’t have enough money to pay for employees.
When I worked in Foley, AL, across the street from our building was a bar called the Pink Pony. It was a little squat building painted bright pink, and people were always shocked to find out it was just a bar, not a strip club.
I was thinking it was a gay taco place.
How is something called Pink Taco a restaurant not a brothel or strip club?
Maybe it’s a front? Respectable people go out “to eat” and don’t have to directly lie about it while disguising their activities. And perhaps get a good meal while they’re at it. Although if so it would be a rather cheeky name.
I dunno. Telling the wife or gf that you’re going out for a Pink Taco won’t go over so well.

I’d recommend Roger Daltrey’s autobiography. It’s very much better than you might expect; he’s a thoughtful and articulate, well, chap. It’s the right word.
And yeah, there are good grounds for believing Entwhistle and Moon were each difficult to work with.
But so is Townsend difficult. And saying he’s glad they’re dead is rude, no matter how difficult they might be.

AFAIK Mr. Ngo has actually done the research on this topic, so I would be surprised if his statements were factually incorrect. So it is a rather bad look for Twitter to suspend a journalist for reporting facts.
Once they started associating words with safety this kind of nonsense became inevitable.

I literally just watched that video. I identified as blind so I put bleach in my eyes to make myself blind. Now I’m much happier. She should identify as mentally ill which she is and get some help.
She should identify as mentally ill which she is and get some help-
It’s why I try not to mock trans-people. I think they have a mental disorder. I don’t mean that as an insult, but as they should get help.
That’s the problem with “Mental Disorder”. You are your brain. Literally. Whatever you think. However you feel. All of it, it emanates from the organ between your ears.
So if whatever part of your brain that provides a sense of self is wired up so that you have a distinct feeling of “woman” as self, despite the penis you sport…. well, that’s how you feel – at a fundamental level. Because it is you. Your brain is you. That’s all there is.
That’s why it is so impossible to fix some of these basic problems – if they are hard-wired into the meat, talking about it isn’t going to change it. No amount of “therapy” is going to make me want to cuddle up with a dude. Same goes for these weird edge cases.
If you read stuff like “The man who mistook his wife for a hat” you’ll see even more bizarre examples. There are people who have disruptions to their neurons who suddenly decide that their leg is not their own leg. Like literally someone came along and sewed some cadaver leg to them. They can’t be talked out of it. They have designed some need therapies to try to get the brain to rewire and recognize these body parts as self, but at the most basic level, it makes more sense to these people to cut off a leg than to think “wow, there’s something wrong in my brain”.
We don’t experience “self” as “my brain” on a daily basis, so that knowledge really doesn’t change much. People still see folks whose brains aren’t working right and think “you shouldn’t think that way”. Of course, to the person whose brain isn’t working right, everything makes perfect sense and they can’t see the malfunction. And they certainly can’t change it, any more than you can change what you think “blue” looks like.
Gender is in your brain the same way that your taste in women is in the brain. Maybe one day we’ll understand it well enough to be able to make adjustments, but right now I doubt they could even point to a specific area with any real confidence. It is just way too complicated.
Doesn’t Ms. Blair White identify as a woman…?
Yeap.
And she’s doin’ a damn good job of it, if you ask me . . .
Those tits are worth whatever she paid for them.
Yeah, but she (!) is not a woman. Period.
I tried watching the video but I’m not getting the distinction she’s making. I’ll go yell at some clouds now.
“Yeah, but she (!) is not a woman. Period.”
What you did has been seen.
Healthy people who intentionally screw themselves up like that should be forcibly committed to a mental institution and medicated against their will. It’s a violation of the NAP I suppose but fuck it.
I don’t know that it is a violation of the NAP. What it is is a dangerous step out onto a very slippery slope. Forget politics for a second for the sake of a hypothetical:
A person is factually mentally ill to the point that they are self destructive. Take this as stipulated. (yes, I know in almost any case this is arguable, I’m trying to get a principle) Is it aggression to intervene to medicate this person? Take as stipulated that the intervention will restore the person to mental health (again, looking for a principle here not arguing whether any such treatments exist). I’d say given the stipulations it is not aggression. It is akin to the case of a child. If agency itself is impaired or undeveloped, and the intervention restores it, or in the case of a child allows it to develop, then the action cannot logically be a sin against the person’s agency, which is how I regard aggression.
Sure, I could agree with your take and I was kidding a bit. For instance, if there’s a person with severe schizophrenia who’s hallucinating and about to walk into traffic it’s not a violation of the NAP to impede his movement or even to restrain him to save him from himself but, yeah, forcibly institutionalizing people can lead to a very bad place.
We were in that very bad place. We changed it on purpose in response to lots of good reporting and art like “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest”.
And that has created a different very bad place.
When your starting point is “this rather large subgroup is seriously broken in ways that are very destructive”, I suppose there are not really any great answers unless you stipulate “And we have a magic pill that fixes everything”.
I use Brave browser and they recently rolled out their ad system, along with the crytocurrency BAT token.
I’m a bit intrigued by it. Been testing the ad system out, seems like it could be the real deal, imo. Today I saw on ad from Amazon via the Brave system, that’s legit.
Anyone have any thoughts on Brave / BAT, or the ad system they rolled out?
I might actually buy some BAT tokens. When reading about it, I thought “huh, that’s a *really* good idea”
I had the same thought when I first read about BTC… when it was $2.00/coin. Don’t want to miss out on a possibly great speculative investment again.
I have 10 BAT. Hopefully it goes all bitcoin and I don’t have to work past 40. Currently worth $2, just $2,499,998 to go.
I don’t want to see ads, so I won’t. *shrugs*
I only accepts ads on TV because they go away. Unless Brave is doing something different, internet ads don’t go away & are way more distracting.
Brave pays you to view ads. No tracking and all that good stuff. It’s only pennies right now, but the “good idea” part comes from how much companies spent on ads currently, with unclear results. Google and FB have the market locked up. Cheaper ad-spending, better results, plus ad-viewers being paid; seems to me like this have huge potential.

Amazing fact – Halle Berry never did come running to find me. Hard to believe, I know. That woman must have amazing will power.
