“Someone’s squatching at the dooor, some squatch is ringing the bell”
First, bitches.
God, I hate that stupid song.
“do me a favor, open the door, and let squatch i…OH MY GAWD!!! HE’S RAPING EVERYBODY!!! HELP!!! HELP!!!”
STEVE SMITH’S THEME SONG
Tres Cool just wants to fill the world with silly hate songs
And what’s wrong with that, I’d like to know
Stop being obsessed.

Who doesn’t love a song about daytime sex?
If you’re sick of Paul McCartney, have a different ear worm.
I’m not gonna get away with “Sneaky Snake” again, am I?
Try to find something just as awful.
And if it’s Canadian, so much the better.
Here ya go. I’ve had this one stuck in my head before for days.

Here’s a hate song earworm for ya
Your hate put me on the top of the world
Damn, Ted. I closed that window just in time.
Thank you for Karen Carpenter, the most perfect voice that ever lived.
^This re: KC.
Weaponized ear worm
@Gender Traitor You are going to laugh so hard when you meet one of my characters, who uses that as a ringtone.
I can’t figure it out…I know I know it…help me out
That song was so obviously written for people after the third doobie. (Just a guess since I’ve never partaken)
Paul McCartney was one of those acts which popped up on the radio off and on back when I was in high school (1970’s) which I always wondered “Who actually listens to and then buys this shit?” Less exciting than white bread. Almost no real emotional content. I actually (briefly) met him last year on the job so I was cordial – but not star struck in any way.
Pasta eating mafiaoso?
Fetch my fainting couch!
Way to bust stereotypes there.
*polite applause*
?
Leave the bust stereotypes to Q.
“He was one of Italy’s four most-wanted criminals”
EU shares criminals with the other countries ’cause no country can afford 10 of their own. Because of the very strict European gun laws the polizei didn’t have to worry about a shoot out.
Venezualan ska band?
*gazes off into distance, thinks to self, “that’s not right”*
I thought carpet showers were not right…
Chunky style milk?
Cottage Cheese?
I was kind of hoping for March 10 links.
Not eveyr article can be stuck in a time distortion.
I miss the sidebar.
Oh no you di’int!

I blame OMWC for starting the temporal anomaly
He’s old. He can’t hold his liquor anymore.
I held it perfectly well. Didn’t spill a drop.
OMWC, I was idly wondering – given your vast holdings, what do you use to track your wine?
A shaky memory.
There’s got to be some sort of negative feedback loop at play there.
May I pry and ask how vast it is? I have a tiny pile but can totally understand how it could grow to be something requiring quite a bit of room.
I’ve been using Cellartracker for my (tiny, pedestrian) bunch of wine for a couple years now and I quite like it. It triggers my inner librarian, apparently.
The “Drinkability report” view is great – some formula of “best consumed between…” combined with number of bottles in inventory gives you a ranked list of things to drink.
The $50 I spent for the label printer was probably the best $50 I’ve spent in forever – I use that thing for everything now.
Now I just need more space…
It is far smaller than it once was- we’ve been in drinking mode for the past 8 or 9 years with very little replenishment. Alimony will do that to you.
““FIESTA AND RAGE”? THAT SOUND LIKE STEVE SMITH EATING BAD EMPANADAS.”
Empanadas are Colombian. Venezuelans eat Arrepas. Well, the used to eat them before they had to resort to dumpster diving for basic subsistence.
Fiesta and Rage is what happens when you get a shitty subcompact.
In high school, my neighbor put a fiesta into a tree. Really messed up his passenger. They don’t crash well.
Speaking of empanadas and earworms, did you ever realize you can sing “Em-pa-na-das” perfectly to the title refrain of 16-year-old Marie Osmond’s breakthrough country hit “Paper Roses”?
Try singing it next time you’re at a Mexican restaurant and watch your popularity soar!
I did not realize. Likely because I don’t know the song.
Don’t try to educate me, I’m musically illiterate.
come for the music
stay for the cute
Damn you.
Venezuelians make great empanadas
How many Venezuelans per serving?
Not as many as a couple of years ago.
Silicone Sunday rolls on.

Hey, at least in my mid 50’s it still works. It may not work again for a day, or two, but it still works.
Wait a few years, even the unemployment runs out

Euroball is more free-enterprise than any American sports league. That’s why the dynasties last for decades.
Euroball is more free-enterprise
Someone tell Spain.
That’s on Spain, not La Liga.
“Commieball” sounds like a variant of Calvinball where you adjust the rules as necessary in order to declare that some hellhole was actually “not real Communism”.

Have a big drink of some Roxy Music.

Not sure which links this would have made (wed or Thurs ) – but the Joe Rogan podcast with Alex Jones is really something else ;p. Yeah its 4 1/2 hours long, but great for a long drive or slow day at work. Not sure I’ve ever heard someone hit so many tangents in a single paragraph.
Least wise, I can see where Warren Ellis got a lot of his plot points for Stormwatch, Authority, Planetary, Transmetropolitan, etc.
Most entertaining bit from last week by far. Spent the recent weekend cleaning up my room to it playing in the background. Much better choice than the Cohen Hearing.
It was entertaining. I listened to it on 1.75 speed and I developed a nervous tic.
It’s also fun to listen to Joe reading at .5 speed. Check it out at this point: https://youtu.be/-5yh2HcIlkU?t=2613
Saved the link, I’ll give a listen later today.
I listened/watched the whole thing on Youtube. It’s a trip.
I love Empanadas! Corn not flour. Fried not baked.
“last chance saloon” huh? What are you Clint Eastwood? Lol.
https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/sharron-davies-transgender-women-banned-sport-a8805186.html
Via Drudge., Former Olympians say trans women should not competition as women in sports. Outrage over the “hate” quickly follows.
Choir preaching time….. I would like for these advocates who refuse to accept anything less than “a trans woman is exactly the same as any other woman in every way and an suggestion to the contrary is evil” to imagine this very real scenario:
Imagine if Caitlyn Jenner was able to live her life the way she wanted in the 70s. As Bruce she was the “greatest athlete in the world”, setting world records in the decathelon. Now imagine Caitlyn competing in the Olympics as a woman.
She would have won the heptathelon, obviously. But she also would have won all the sprints. The high jump, pole vault, shot put, javelin, hurdles…. Probably all world records. As a bonus, there is every chance she would have been the best basketball player as well. Maybe tennis and possibly golf. The guy was a pretty amazing athlete competing against dudes.
You don’t even have to do a lot of imagining. This is a real person who really did identify as trans way back then.
This discussion is just nuts. Somebody needs to play the scene from Life Of Brian for them.
The problem with your argument is that it is based in logic, observation and experience. It lacks the crucial elements for communicating with those pushing the idea of trans women competing as women. Add some more feelz, and REEEEEEEEEEEEE more.
Handicapping derp is just getting harder (or I’m losing touch with other demographics).
“Free college” I score as dangerous: it sounds like a good idea to enough folk that I can seeing it taking its place in the pantheon of delivered American standards like federal highways and Medicare some day.
Trannies winning all the medals in the girl olympics seems just too stupid: only the dumbest and most motivated flakes (2% of America?) want this; more people thing this smells wrong or at least don’t want their daughters to be competing with this nonsense.
But I’ve been wrong before, so I won’t say it will never be mainstream.
I can’t wait to see all women’s Olympic medals and all women’s sports dominated by trannies. It will re-enforce and strengthen my beliefs about mankind.
A quick check shows that in his Olympic decathelon, Jenner’s time of 10.94 would have beaten the women’s world record of 11.1 seconds in the 100 meters. The men’s record of 9.9 was not in danger.
RC Dean pointed out that sex and gender aren’t the same thing. They are conflating the two and it’s annoying.
The good news is that as long as the beam is an event in women’s gymnastics, we probably won’t see many chicks with dicks competing in that sport.
Yeah, that would take some serious balls.
I’ve seen one or two pommel horse accidents over the years. I think xey can handle the balance beam.
any Gilmore update?
STEVE SMITH links seem sparsely populated. Is everyone that afraid of expanding their sexual horizons?
Expanding? Ouch!

Little well done for my taste.
This style of pizza I shoot for a paper thin, crispy, tender crust. Objective achieved.
Must be on my end, I was going for the ‘all I got was a black screen joke’. Lack of pictures aside I’m sure your tomato and cheese cracker turned out marvelously.
Lol! I checked the links before and after posting. I don’t know why you can’t see them.
Also a black image for me.
I can’t see them either.
I think you can see them because it is your account, I also get a black screen.
Looks like a Billy Squire song to me

I see you couldn’t decide on round or square and went with ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Topping distribution needs some work and good god is that broccoli? It is pizza so I’m going to give you a C+ this time. but dude! c’mon.
*shakes head, thanks god that Tom Monaghan didn’t live to see this*
So you really want me to reach through the Internet and choke you out? 😛
No broccoli. The green sauce is pesto made from home grown basil. The other toppings are artichoke hearts, kalamata olives, yellow onion and home made pancetta. I used fontina for the cheese.
LOL I only saw the first pic and wondered WTF you two were going on about.
PS. I will refrain from giving an opinion on pizza #2 and just go with “if you enjoyed it, that’s all that matters”.
I have very thick skin. Please don’t worry about giving your opinion. Even if you disagree, I can explain the thinking behind everything I do. And if you don’t like it? Hey, it’s all good.
Heh never take me that seriously.
Artichoke hearts are an underappreciated pizza topping.
The key for me on pizza toppings is proportion. Unless that’s your goal, no one ingredient should stand out.
I was on a big artichoke heart & ricotta kick for a while. Since I’m married to a gluten-free person now, my pizza intake is way down, so I tend to go for the classics when I do have it (pepperoni, green pepper & onion, etc.).
I’d eat that. It’s no Red Baron, but…
No pineapple, you’re good
Next up will be my deep dish version.
One of our visitors from last night brought a slice of NY style pizza to the Wonder Dog. Los Doyers is now her substitute hero.
Short ribs braised in wine sauce over rice with cornbread and brussel sprouts. Didn’t make it home on time so ribs cooked in the oven for an extra hour.
I LUUUVVV braised short ribs.
First time doing those like that.
Beef ribs never turned out right for me before, but I’ve been trying to cook them like pork ribs. Braising in a sauce is the way to go, imo.
The only thing that has worked for me with short ribs is braising. If you get the big ‘ol dinosaur bones with a nice layer of meat on them, they can be successfully smoked. The technique is a bit different than pork ribs.
Leftovers for us – shredded beef enchiladas and Mexican rice.
The wife and I made Schnitzel and spetzle with a mushroom gravy. I made some arroz con pollo for the week as well. I don’t have time during the week to cook so I make up for it on the weekend.
Never made them, but would love to add a new dish to my arsenal. Last week I gave homemade chicken pot pies a shot. Not bad for attempt number one. Maybe I’ll give Korean style ribs a shot tonight.
Ramsey has an awesome braised short rib recipe that I use a lot. You end up with a wine based garlic sauce to drizzle over the ribs and mushrooms.
https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ree-drummond/braised-short-ribs-2716433
Skipped the bacon, used a little more olive oil,
more shallots instead of the onion,
more wine,
half can of tomato paste,
herbs de Provence instead of whole rosemary and thyme,
sprinkle of garlic powder (because I forgot to add clove earlier),
and in the oven for 3.5 hours.
Got lazy and ordered pizza tonight.
The bag of seasonings – for 8 slices of pizza – contained 7 packets of parmesan and 14 packets of red pepper flakes. What the hell, man. Who uses that little parmesan and that much red pepper on their pizza?
They got that one backwards.
I hope you have access to garlic powder, and a trash bin to toss the pepper flakes into.
Rich people problems. I’m trying to figure out a 7th way to cook mouse for the week.
Make guisada. Skin, gut, flour, and brown up a bunch of mice. Remove from pot. Pick out the bones. Saute sofrito. Add mice back to the pot, and simmer over low heat. Serve over rice.
You can stop by my place: if you catch them, you can keep ’em.
Sous vide then a light sear in butter.
Dude, ramen. Ramen. It’s like 69¢ If you want to be healthier, add frozen veggies. And Frank’s Hot Sauce, when you can afford it.
Me.
I like lots of both
If by “that little”, you mean, “keep that disgusting, rotting shit-powder far away from me”, you can include me in half of that.
Too bad we don’t have enough glibs on Twitter to do the L E A R N T O C O D E thing to Kristol.

My liver isn’t going to be able to stand the drinking I’ll need to do to handle that kind of stupid.
Well, our loss is our gain.
I wrote that dumbass off a couple of decades ago. He is the epitome of arrogant stupidity.
The rent is too damn high! – unless you’re an “artist“. I don’t even give a shit that he’s a millionaire. Therefore, some of the “man on the street” quotes from people who think the apartment should be taken from this lottery winner and “given” to that lottery winner are especially infuriating.
That just popped up on my news feed.
On what legal grounds would they get him evicted? I’m guessing the Twitter Mob Act of 2018.
If he wasn’t a member of a protected class, one would think non-payment of rent would be sufficient.
In my early 20’s I was two weeks late on my rent one month. Changed jobs so I missed a paycheck. Came home to an eviction warning, so I borrowed some money from my brother and paid up. Guess shit isn’t as straightforward anymore.
It’s the same place that had this travesty:
https://www.artsy.net/article/artsy-editorial-5-pointz-artists-won-675-million-lawsuit-developer-destroyed-work
Wait, if they can paint on someone else’s property and claim the artwork is now their property, what’s stopping someone else from painting on their painting? It’s turtle graffiti all the way down.
The article says it’s a national law. I just can’t even anymore.
And laws like this are why I am still a supporter of nation states. It’s all very well to point out the awful things nations do, but until you show me some tiny chance that the alternative is not a trans national imperial state which will do even worse things, and be inescapable I am holding onto national sovereignty. The more ‘new world order’ we go the more the EU gets to tell us what to do.
I don’t have anything to add except, I fucking hate Banksy.
In my early twenties I became very familiar with the eviction notice. The rental agency did not fuck around, and I think they figured it was easier to just go ahead and file the notice right away than do a dance with tenants over when they’d be able to make good. I was a little bitter at the time, but I know if I was renting a place I’d be just a touch shirty if the people living in my shit weren’t abiding by the agreement.
Thats what they get for writing stupid assed loopholes into what should be straightforward laws. Pay your rent or GTFO, period. If they did that shit here and said mechanics don’t have to pay, I sure as shit would not pay, no matter how many millions I might have. Fucking retards.
Yrah, that’s an infuriatingly dumb law. Total slippery slope too. Surprised it doesn’t apply to teachers, nurses, “activists”, etc. How did artists manage to pay off the pols to get that passed?
The “starving artist” was basically God in 70s NYC – because everyone else was getting the fuck out. I have a strong feeling that we’re heading for a repeat of that era.
So, I was talking the other day at a bar with some people from out of town and it came down a, “This is a nice place to visit but why in the fuck don’t you run as fast as you can to somewhere that’s not insane,” and the best answer I came up with was, “I can’t, because work and family.” Which leaves me with trying to fix things however the hell I can, in my small way. And that’s impossible. What do you do as a New Yorker? Meanwhile, one of the people was from Brooklyn and caught a sharp case of GTFO which brought her down here.
“here”, being?
Annapolis, Maryland. America’s Sailing Capital. I’m about a mile away from the Naval Academy.
America’s Sailing Capital
I thought that was Newport, RI
It’s up for debate, I suppose. We have two large boat shows and the Chamber of Commerce has strong feelings about it. There’s a shit ton of sailing around here, and if you take out the boat brokerages, dockyards, and sail lofts you’re pretty much left with lawyers as the main industry. I’ll say this, it’s hard to find anyone who’s lived here for more than ten years who hasn’t been on a sailboat, but that’s probably true for a lot of coastal towns. But I think the bay is a big part of that.
, it’s hard to find anyone who’s lived here for more than ten years who hasn’t been on a sailboat, but that’s probably true for a lot of coastal towns
That’s certainly true of Boston and the surrounding area – although, now that I write that, I realize I haven’t been on a sailboat in a very long time.
My father was an avid sailor, so I’ve got plenty of hours in growing up, but it’s been longer than I can easily recall.
Same boat, pretty much. I like it here – hell, I wouldn’t have stayed 20 years otherwise. The political class are from another planet, though. I’m OK as long as they largely leave me alone but if push comes to shove, yeah, I’ll look elsewhere.
As if Nazi criminals aren’t bad enough, now we have Nazi HATE criminals running the BBC. Wake up, Sheeple!

I recommend this massage parlor. They do wonderful Bobkraft.
Call me old fashioned, but I don’t think that was love.
Well, you see, a pimp’s love is very different from that of a square.

Collins?
Wait…..Did I get a booze joke AND a quasi-“learn to code” joke for the same movie response???
That might be peak-Glibs
Can peak-Glibs ever actually be reached??
What happened to that dude is the real crime. Imagine being brought before a judge because you made an off-color joke. That would effectively end stand-up comedy in this or any other country. The saddest and scariest part of that whole episode is that there were so many people cheering the prosecutor on. Imagine referring to your country as “free” when it’s putting people in prison for things they say.
But he’s not a credentialed comedian, like he didn’t even have comedian licence!
I hate looking over there and seeing America’s future.
And people thought we were being alarmist when we warned them they wouldn’t like where the “lets jail holocaust deniers” line of thought would lead.
Just saw an article in the Mainichi Newspaper that says that the govt will seize “sleeping accounts” from the bank and give the funds to NPOs. A “sleeping account” is one that hasn’t been used for any transactions for more than ten years. My guess is the majority of them are from when a geezer kicks it and the family doesn’t know the money exists. So instead of notifying a relative, they’ll just take the money and hope the relatives don’t make a claim to the account.
So if you actually save your money, they’ll just take it. Not even waiting for inflation to steal the money. I like that it’s direct.
Says the bank will notify the holder of the account after 9 years that the account will be seized after another year. Sure, that generation didn’t properly fund their pension schemes, but this is a screwy way to rectify it (and it wouldn’t rectify anyways).
So what do you do? Do you have to make a transaction on the account, reply to the bank’s notification or go to a bureaucrat?
I’m assuming any activity on the account would reset the ten year window. I haven’t read the whole article. It’s in Japanese. Cut me some slack.

Well, thank you – just reading this prompted me to check the Unclaimed Property division of the state and it turns out I have some unclaimed dividends.
Wooo! I bet it’s as much as 4 figures (including the two after the decimal).
Never knew about that. Apparently Comcast owes me money.
Apparently they also list the underlying shares from those dividends – pretty sure that’s 5 or 6 shares of STT I lost track of at some point. So, yay?…
Correction, a firm “yay” – something like $400 worth of STT.
*blows the windfall on surgery bills for the dog*
In the mood for a slow jam.
Speaking of “Learn to Code,” 60 Minutes spent 20 of those minutes tonite lamenting that only 25% of coders are women and the percentage is falling. Viewers learned that lots of women trying to do something about this “crisis” but heard not one word about why it is necessarily a bad thing that women aren’t more heavily represented. Why is it so important to get more women into the field? Is it more potential dates for you hetero coders? Women are smarter? There’s an overall shortage of coders so it makes sense to lure more women into the field? Too many smart women are getting into fields like doctoring and driving the male count under 50% in those fields?
Any occupation that does breakdown exactly along the demographics of society is clearly an example of oppression. *Hand waves away certain occupations that don’t support the narrative*
Coding is the new serving tables. The plebes do it, the money men and idea guys are still the top of the chain, same as it’s ever been. #fuckthapolice?
I have no idea. I hate to break it to everybody, but the profession isn’t as glamorous as the MSM would like you to believe.
Did they do a segment on HR being 90% female? How’s that not a crisis in the same manner?
Commercial fishing and logging are 90% male dominated. More girls need to be encouraged to enter those fields.
I assume Uncivil is driving them away somehow.
Here being much poorer there are more women coder / engineers but still shy of 50%.
Then again there are a higher percentage than garbage collectors or sewer worked, so I think this fields with less than 5% women should get priority to one which is 30% women
Another funny point is that in the Nordic countries, the F/M coding breakdown is actually more Male. Turns out, when women can do whatever they want, they do things women like, and not what their feminist masters demand.
Huh, weird
Women being mastered by women……
heheheheheheheheheheheh
So, I don’t know how geeky the current online glibs are. But me, total geek, and also someone who needs to constant brain stimulation. So I try to watch all the geek shows out there to keep my brain from punching me, even the shows that suck. So I watch Supergirl. This season they pretty much made everyone right of Mao into villains. Even though it didn’t fit into the universe they crammed TDS down on the story until it fractured and died from internal injuries.
Anyway, one of the bad guys this season is Ben Lockwood, who even without me giving a shit about him or paying any attention to him, I can tell is based on Ben Shapiro. So, they’re trying to paint this guy as ULTRA RIGHT WING HATE FURNERS (aliens), but then they can’t even get that right because part of tonight’s storyline was that he is a union supporter. LOL. They can’t even imagine anyone to the right of 90s democrats. It’s sad really.
And that’s why I stick to my safe space of Skyrim; 700+ human hours in two years – no cycles left for this crap on the tv.
Skyrim was racist against me in the final dragon battle. My LB sticks, so I couldn’t get the right Dragon Shouts. So I said fuck it. Racist Motherfucker!
PC Master Race for the win! Consoles are for the weak!
I play on PC, but with an XBox controller, because fuck typing when I can push buttons while leaning back. I’m supposed to be relaxing, not writing a fucking novel.
I bet there aren’t enough female Skyrim players – so problematic!
No, the problem is the female Skyrim players, they’re the blue haired crazies yelling all the left-wing shit on twitter, wait, that’s female WOW players.
I just can’t sink my teeth into Skyrim. Only managed sixteen hours since I bought it a couple years ago, mostly skulking around feeling bored. I loved Morrowind back in the day, Oblivion was okay.
So, I don’t know how geeky the current online glibs are
Very (long-time systems engineer).
So I try to watch all the geek shows out there
Don’t do that to yourself. The only “geek” show I can stand is “Silicon Valley”, which is often fantastic.
That’s not a geek show, hell that’s not even a nerd show, that’s a regular guy show. No credits awarded.
There was an entire story line about breaking up with someone over tabs vs. spaces. That is a geek show and I love it.
(an aside: I’ve always preferred “geek”, as it seems to imply some level of technical expertise with something, vs. just general social flailing with “nerd” – “a computer geek”, “an electronics geek” vs. “a star wars nerd” – but maybe I’m overthinking it).
As I just said below, a geek is into weird shit. A nerd is doing things to learn.
Do I file this site under nerdery or geekery?
Depends on your intent. If you’re here just for the wonkiness, that’s nerdy. If your here only for the weirdness, that’s geeky. If you’re here for both, that’s Glib.
I’m just here for the chicks.
I don’t even know what geek means anymore. I do supposedly geeky things in my spare time like learn new programming languages – but I have less than zero interest in anything named “Supergirl”.
*so confused*
learning is for nerds, geeks are just into weird shit. I do more than my share of nerdy things, but geeky things are different.
To exemplify. It’s geeky to be into Supergirl. It’s nerdy to watch a documentary about how the struggle for women’s equality caused the conditions that lead to the creation of Supergirl.
Enh in my day they were equivalent and not something to be “proud” of. The whole “taking it back” thing is a fairly recent phenomenon.
Oh, I heard all the Star Trek jokes…For some reason they stopped when I started looking like a man that could kick your ass instead of a fat kid.
Fairly?
I never saw that stupid shit. My town was a half-decade behind the times anyway.
RotN is silly, sure. But, “stupid shit” seems a bit harsh….
C’mon, Rhy–you’re a jolly fellow!
It’s not John-Hughes level of sophistication, that’s for sure.
Well, not much is…
Revenge of the Nerds is better than ANY John Hughes move, fight me punk!
Ugh…I wanted to like that show, but I work in Silicon Valley and it was just a little too spot on…a little too cringy. I should give it another chance.
I work for a tech company, albeit not in the Valley, but it resonates. It’s the best kind of cringy.
A co-worker didn’t get that Russ Hanneman is Mark Cuban. So great.
I wouldn’t have guessed Cuban, either. I figured he was a pastiche.
But, he didn’t ping “Cuban” for me, and I’m in Dallas…
Yeah, doesn’t ring Cuban for me either. Slumbrew is a shitty media critic.
But, he has great links!
/pay him no never-mind, slum.
Check out Tom Shales over here.
Whoever the fuck that is.
We can take this thing called “the radio” and put it on “the internet”

You’re right; Russ is something of an amalgam – he’s every Valley douchebag – but there’s a real Cuban core.
Holy shit-I had no idea.
Shows how much I care about this interwebs shit.
‘Based on’ with shitty interpretation really isn’t the same a one to one analog.
Russ Hanneman is awesome, though. One of the best creations on the show.
I’m not one to, in general, say someone “got lucky” because they did well. But $5.7 Billion for broadcast.com was peak bubble craziness.
“Cuban sold most of his Yahoo stock that same year, netting over $1 billion.”
That’s amazing. Of course, you could just say Cuban was being canny and getting out before reality set in.
I don’t give a shit one way or the other about Cuban. But the character being based on him and it coming through in the character are two different things. All I’m saying. That’s like saying if I write a character that started a ‘Windows’ like company, but I make him a serial raping pederast that the character still represents the same person. It may be the same idea, if I had a warped sense of humor (wait this is sounding like a good story. So he goes around…
damnit! I ruined my own joke with a typo!
“That’s like saying if I write a character that started a ‘Windows’ like company, but I make him a serial raping pederast that the character [doesn’t] still represents the same person
Fine, fine, I’ll amend my statement – “Russ Hanneman has a lot of Mark Cuban in him”.
He is indeed an amalgam of various Valley douches.
But JFC: Russ is obsessed with being in the 3 Comma Club.
Exhibit B: https://threecommas.com/
BTW, Russ Hanneman’s next toy.
I don’t doubt the character is based on him, but it seems to be based on some caricature the writers have of him that accessible to viewers, thus is a failed joke.
dagummit, I keep missing words. ‘isn’t accessible to the viewers’ I think that means it’s time for me to pass out. -Mark.
God bless America ?

I knew what that was before clicking the link. And, slum didn’t disappoint!
On tomorrow’s “Glibertarians”, CPRM and I have a long argument over whether “Galvin Belson” is more Larry Ellison or Larry Page – it’s clearly Ellison if you’re closer to my age, clearly someone else if you’re not 😉
Much better stuff on YouTube.

The eye line was off, and it was distracting. Not to mention the turble acting. Charles Barkley downvotes.
Go back to Supergirl. There’s no saving you.
They will be vwry unhappy when all this wokeness shoved u to entertainment fails to bring a social justice utopia
Nah, they’ll just have to eliminate the wreckers and kulaks who are keeping the utopia at bay.

I needed to listen to this to clear that shit from brain.
Good Monday morning Glibs. Just got in ye olde office
Then get to work, you lazy furner!
There was a fuckin server reset and all my shit is down. I have to restart everything. Goddamnit.
Servers you right!
Sorry, not every joke is a good joke.
Turns out that: despite me paying a full year in advance of my rent, the “management company” I have to deal with is still giving me crap about some water bills or something. I paid slightly over what I should have, because I thought I’d be paying for a partial month. But they stated I had to start at the beginning of the month, so I stayed at an Air Bnb.
They’re continuing to question me and demand these “water bills” be paid despite all facts (even if true, they owe me money. Here’s a somewhat redacted email I sent to them:
First off, I live at 18 Lane, not 14.
I will be by this week to show you copies of the Cashier’s Check I gave your organization when I moved in. I am also probably going to get in touch with a lawyer, since your company is either malfeasant or incompetent in their inability to find a record of me giving them this check, and apparently, to know which address I actually inhabit.
Here is an account of double-entry bookkeeping; you can see it has a long history. Perhaps you could forward this to your accounting department so they will be in touch with the last thousand years of business practice. One of the key components is writing down -taking a record- of credits and debits so they can be accessed easily.
Sincerely, BakedPenguin.
Where are you? In the areas I’m familiar with, water bills are the responsibility of the landlord. Unless your name is on the bill, I don’t see how they have any claim.
FL – but even if they have a claim, it’s far less than what’s owed to me because of my overpayment.
Yet they’ve been harassing me on and off for a while. I think it’s a sucker play – I think they’re totally dishonest and just hope to get some sucker money. That, or they’re completely incompetent.
Perhaps both.
Malice or incompetence, in other words? Incompetence is usually the better bet, but you can’t rule out malice.
Pretty much. Whatever, I’ll go see the woman who’s be harassing me and let her know to stop it. I’m in the right here, and I can prove it, so I’m pretty sure it’s gonna be dealt with quick.
My unique situation lends me no credence in either the renting or owning sphere. As with much in my life, my home status is ‘complicated’…
Me-ow.
Thx, Rhywun. I’ll take that as credit for a nice burn.
And if not, you get this.
Sick SF, bruh.
Dammit that totally takes away any burn.
