Brett escaped his SMITH-family overlords only to be re-apprehended by his employer. If his comments on the meetings he’ll be in today are any indication, I suspect he’ll be returning to the… uh… “welcoming embrace” of the SMITHs before too long. Luckily for you all, my coworkers have been temporarily tamed by a tidal wave of sugar and fat thanks to my office’s 6th annual Pi Day (our first annual Pi Day was just me baking a shitty blueberry pie and telling everyone Pi Day was a thing). My ability to pie crust is significantly better and I’ve gotten weirder with my choices. Anyway, enough about my attempts to manipulate my coworkers with carbohydrates. To the news!
- Polish newspaper runs front page list on ‘how to spot a Jew’ –I’m told y’all talked about this earlier, but it bears linking.
- Pence hosts openly gay Irish prime minister and his partner for breakfast –Times are changing! Soon Race Bannon and his co-parent, Dr. Quest will be more comfortable living openly.
- Butterball issues nationwide recall of nearly 80,000 pounds of ground turkey –Vegans everywhere: Finally! It’s not romaine or beansprouts!
- Holy fudge: soft foods helped humans form ‘f’ and ‘v’ sounds –I’mma need some of our cunning linguists to weigh in on this. I spent a year trying to teach little Korean children–who ate an awful lot of 죽 (juk) or soft rice porridge–how to say “fat” instead of “ppat”.
- Scientists Call For Global Moratorium On Creating Gene-Edited Babies — I’m reminded of a poignant line from Gattaca on the innate morality of improving our genes through editing: Beautiful piece of equipment there, Jerome. I see a great many in the course of a given day. Yours just happens to be an exceptional example. I don’t know why my folks didn’t order one like that for me.
Six years of practice and both my crust and filling have improved.
And I suppose a wee bit of music goes here, no?

What’s the deal with the ravioli checkerboard crust?
Does Pence adhere to his dining rules with de gheys as well?
Apparently Pence was accompanied by his sister during the visit.
OT, but big: Morris Dee out at SPLC, not for being a mendacious slush-fund operating grifter but for alleged racism toward black employees .
No sympathy for him whatsoever. Given his incredibly broad and flexible definitions of ‘hate group’ and racists, it was only a matter of time before he was deemed one himself.
Especially if his underlings decided they wanted the SPLC loot instead of him. Got rid of him and still continue the shakedown machine.
Nelson fucking laugh.
^ this, eat your own you slime.
“Dees’ biography appeared scrubbed from the SPLC’s website as news broke of his termination on Thursday afternoon. ”
Erased just like that. Ha ha!
I’ll be damned if I can find them now, but years ago I came across some photos posted online of what was supposedly Dees’ house. The interior decor was so grotesquely tacky it probably could have made Trump nauseous.
Better than a pic of dees nuts
I was surprised the Dietz Nuts Superbowl ad didn’t generate more buzz.
Good, fuck that grifter. Seeing him get eaten by the monster of his own creation is fantastic.
Hehe. Get out the silverware
“Butterball issues nationwide recall of nearly 80,000 pounds of ground turkey “. Ground turkey. So you’re saying with god as your witness, turkey’s cannot fly?
That was a great show.
Best episode:
1) turkeys can’t fly
Or
2) Johnny Fever’s reflexes getting faster the more booze he consumed
Both great. Everyone remembers the turkeys though.
Ground Turkey is vegan, ain’t it?
Depends on which vegan you ask.
Is it the beanie? That usually tips me off.
By the By, to whatever overlords are around, if you got any gaps in content coming up, I have a submission pending.
Giving in to the SMITHS huh?
RACE IS NOT GAY!
Of course not, just two totally straight men living and working together raising one man’s child from his previous marriage and a random foreign kid…not. gay. at. all.
My Two Dad’s would like a word…
LOL talk about a more innocent age….
Nah. People were the same and everyone knew it they just didn’t talk about it openly
So My Three Sons were gay?
Mind blown.
I used to love when at the beginning Fred Macmurray would look at the camera and say “Welcome to our show.” Immediate cut to bad animation of three tapping sets of feet accompanied by jazz combo, as the words appeared on the screen, ” ..and William Demarest as Uncle Charlie.” But who here can remember Bub and who played him?
William Frawley.
I watched that afternoon growing up.
*every* afternoon
He’s a live in bodyguard, pilot and personal assistant. Why ya always gotta read more into it?
(Of course, he could be an ex “Naval Aviator”)
*rubs chin*
Eh, mid-century entertainment was rife with thinly-veiled gay references that the majority could ignore and gay folk could connect with and feel less isolated (think Uncle Arthur). Two bachelors raising children together screams that sensibility.
Anybody remember the Cheers episode where Norm had to pretend to be gay to get an interior designing gig?
Could that be on TV now?
No way! Sammy was the embodiment of toxic masculinity.
I’m just happy I own the bits to Blazing Saddles, both ripped and on DVD.
I fear that will be declared wrongthink and wrongfun within my lifetime and dropped into the memory hole.
“Last night I programmed myself to dream about your space”.
That line still makes me laugh.
Maybe he’s not. You’re not gay if you’re the pitcher, right?

+1 Why Do All These Homosexuals Keep Sucking My Cock Onion (when it was funny) article
That was the best. The 911 Hijackers are Surprised When They Wake Upin Hell was great too.
Only in the framework of sodomy as behavior rather than homosexuality as identity. The historical moments where those two mindsets are vying for cultural dominance are interesting to study, but pretty depressing as you have folks who start to identify as something other than “sinner” clash against a society that feels compelled to put the lid on divergent behavior and throw folks off buildings or whatever.
I never gave any thought to this when I watched this show, but now that you mention it…

Usual Adult Swim stuff, I’m sure – they tend to run out of steam. Plus Colbert got too big-time to keep doing it (though they could have replaced him, I suppose).
So, gene editing Top Men is bad, but we’re gonna use the government Top Men to decide how it happens?
“but we’re gonna use the government Top Men to decide how it happens?”

Steaming pile of bullshit
The ruling comes as yet another twist in the lawsuit’s circuitous path through the court system, one that continued far longer than many, including legal experts and the families, had initially expected. “This decision was a long time in coming but it was more than worth the wait,” said Joshua D. Koskoff, a lawyer for the families.
———
The lawsuit said that the companies were wrong to entrust an untrained civilian public with a weapon designed for maximizing fatalities on the battlefield. Lawyers pointed out advertising — with messages of combat dominance and hyper-masculinity — that resonated with disturbed young men who could be induced to use the weapon to commit violence.
“Remington may never have known Adam Lanza, but they had been courting him for years,” Mr. Koskoff, one of the lawyers representing the families, told the panel of judges during oral arguments in the case in 2017. The weapon used by Mr. Lanza had been legally purchased by his mother, Nancy Lanza, whom he also killed.
Explain to me how NOT selling that gun to Adam Lanza means they were desperately pursuing him as a customer.
I’m sure Koskoff’s meter has been running since day one. Of course he’s thrilled.
Even if Remington was desperately pursuing Adam Lanza as a customer, they FAILED.
Moar Ruzzian collision?!
Remington must have a hell of a marketing department if that’s the picture the gun buying public is getting about their semiauto products because their non-bolt action stuff sucks.
Also, Lanza stole that gun if I remember correctly so how does that even apply?
Gun grabbers lie like you draw breath.
Every fucking word out of their mouth is calculated to deceive
I thought gun companies have a law immunizing them from these lawsuits.
They do. Its just social signalling from judges.
Elvis Made Me Do It.
But just think of the product liability territory this opens up! You could bring suit against Waring after someone uses a blender to fatally slash his mother! After all, the perp would be a member of the ‘untrained civilian public’!
Is that as bad as when Milania stay in NY so that midget could finish the school year? Does it mean this leprechaun is Hitler too? I’m so confused!

A thermometer that tracks average annual global temperature?

Remember, eugenics (TOP. MEN. directed breeding) is bad, but letting individuals assess their level of risk in when and whether to change the heritable genes of extant human beings they are responsible for is a TOTALLY DIFFERENT THING! Far better that infants and toddlers die of genetic diseases that may lie on a heritable allele until the TOP. MEN. get around to approving it. They are (edited) heritable genes. Nature already has a robust method of selecting for non-advantageous heritable genes.

Times Pick
As a gun owner with a concealed carry permit, and training with regular practice, I see zero adequate cause to allow rifles designed perfectly for fast and devastating fire to be sold. If lawsuits are necessary to stop those sales, so be it. Gun owners desiring self and family defense have no reason for them. Hunters have no reason for them. Going boom at the gun range can be enjoyed by other means. And the toll in human lives when mass murderers get them is by no means acceptable. There’s no fuzzy sanctity in guns or their owners that we should continue to supply killers with these. If you want guns legal, they need to be sane. And no grenades, either, please.
What were we discussing earlier, about variability of prefe3rences and subjective value?
“If you have a Jasper Johns painting on your wall, you should be forcibly committed. Only a crazy person would like that crap.”
Somebody isn’t hunting the most dangerous game.
Dip shit. As soon as the gun grabbers take whatever subset of rifles you deem unnecessary, they’ll come back for the rest, especially your own concealed carry piece. Fucking dumbass useful idiot.
Lighten up Gustave. There are no historical examples of a gradual disarming of a society resulting in atrocities, right?
This guy is just being reasonable.
My guess is it’s a pretend gun owner pushing a narrative.
It is
This.
This assumes the commenter actually owns a gun.
The best thing about the crowd is the efficacy of your BS detectors. You’re all right. This wasn’t written by a gun owner
I posted this earlier as well. Background check for ammo.

As a gun owner with a concealed carry permit…
I have a hard rule that any statement prefaced with “as a [disfavored group being argued against]…” is to be treated as complete and utter bullshit.
See: “As a former Republican…”
“Some of my best friends own guns.”
+1000 user stories
When I was a Navy SEAL…
I thought that was ‘as a former libertarian…’
I think “former libertarian” means “I kinda liked the sound of some of Ron Paul’s ideas but then decided to vote for Obama”.
I’ve never heard anyone claim that they slogged through the likes of Mises, Rothbard, Bastiat, or Hayek only to return to the “progressive” feeding trough. I don’t see how someone could apprehend the content of those authors but then regress to screeching about “income inequality” unless we’re talking about some kind of traumatic brain injury.
Gun owners desiring self and family defense have no reason for them. Hunters have no reason for them.
first, i’ll take Fabricated Bullshit for $1000, Alex! all of these anti-gun stories have a featured up-voted comment from a “gun-owning, concealed-carry licensee, frequent training participant” that argues semi-auto rifles are not necessary.
second, he misses the whole purpose of the 2A.
Once we surrender all icky freedoms to the government, we’ll achieve utopia.
I recently learned what a Fudd is. This Times Nose Picker epitomizes a Fudd. huh huh huh huh.
How tiresome. The old ‘I’m a gun owner but even I think the population should be disarmed’ canard.
Ten bucks says this guy is lying his ass off.
Not taking that bet cause I am certain you would win.
I see zero adequate cause to allow rifles designed perfectly for fast and devastating fire to be sold.
Guns should be clumsy and inaccurate. Then it would be safe for people to buy them.
Pairing this nonsense with the “track knives via GPS” nonsense below gets you two points on a straight line.
Ah the “zero adequate cause” clause. Must be in the same section of the Constitution with the “nobody needs” and “you didn’t build” that clauses.

the Hobo Bannonthe Hobo Bannon
I’m trying to decide if this is an unkind comparison for Steve or hobos.
ask SugarFree, he’s the one who created Hobo Steve.
The hobos. Traditionally at least hobos were willing to do day labor in trade for food and then hopped on the train to ride the rails. As opposed to bums who simply wanted to loaf all the time. Which Bannon appears to be.
HOBO SMITH. HOBO SMITH VISIT HOMELESS CAMP. TO RAPE HOMELESS.
THEN HOBO SMITH LEAVE TOWN, RIDE RAILS. BY RIDE RAILS MEAN RAPE BURLINGTON NORTHERN

Blasi et al. (2019) highlights what many criticize about “evolutionary” frameworks in disciplines like psychology or linguistics, the Just-So Story phenomenon. I mean, it’s an interesting theory, now get in your time machine and prove it. From a phonological point of view, the fact that labiodentals have been shown in silico to require 30 percent less muscular effort in overbite is meaningless. The voiced and voiceless dental fricative are quite biomechanically simple in either an overbite or an edge-to-edge configuration, yet, together, they remain one of the rarer sounds in the languages of the world (And one of the first things we Anglophones go to when mimicking foreign accents).
Do I believe that evolutionary pressures help to shape phonetic/phonological patterns and rules in languages? Yes. Do I believe that they are the only factors that impact phonetic/phonological shift? No. Do I believe that the amount of empirically-derived evidence needed to definitively show causality exists in this case? No, and I believe it will be a while until we do have enough.

Polish newspaper
It’s a better link than in an earlier thread. It shows the front page in question. There are probably too few Jews left in Poland for the gentile locals to identify them without newspaper articles.
I can’t believe nobody has made a Polish newspaper joke.
Did you hear about the submarine with a screen door?
Did you hear about the polish terrorist?
He burned his mouth on a tailpipe when he tried to blow up a car.

According to Wikipedia, there are more Jews in India and Panama than there are in Poland.
According to this Wikipedia article, there are up to 100,000 or 200,000 “potential Jews” in Poland. They are the ones that require advanced methods of identification.
To be honest, that number makes more sense to me.
Huh. I did not know that about Uruguay.
A lot of Italians in Uruguay too.

Of course there’s more in Panama, what with all their shady banks and all.
Shade is vital in a tropical hellscape. You need someplace to escape the sun.

You have know way of knowing which stereotype to apply.

So if you want Jew gold you need to go to India or Panama?
There are also more Puerto Ricans in NYC (for uncivil) than in any city in Puerto Rico.
A nation with Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib in the federal legislature and Louis Farrakhan and Linda Sarsour as influential public figures doesn’t have much to holler about an anti-Semitic article in another country’s newspaper.
Well, it’s worse.
The linked paper is British. 🙂
That’s top quality whataboutism. If Poland had its own propaganda TV channel, you could be on it all the time.
I bet hosts on Poland Today would be hotter than ones on Russia Today. Female ones, at least.
I don’t remember them putting much effort into the male presenters on RT. PT might still have them beat just for lack of effort.
Grrizzly, I’m too old, ugly and don’t speak Polish.
For some reason, you don’t need Jews for anti-Semitism to exist. I was hearing Jewish Conspiracy stuff decades ago in a country in which they were a rounding error.
Looking at the paper, a page in Polish tells me it was published by Polish National Party, so that’s the sort of thing one would expect to see, and the issue is why it’s being sold at a newsstand in Parliament building.

Sometimes, I wonder if the hatred of the Jews has more to do with jealousy than religion or ethnicity. Israel is an ethnostate surrounded by ethnostates and yet the latter can’t achieve what the former did 50+ years later.
That and they make for convenient scapegoats.
It goes back longer than 50 years, but I’ve always assumed it was _mostly_ jealousy. “They’re doing better than us, they must be using underhanded means to do so!”
The most underhanded trick of all, not having a coup d’état every 10 or so years.
I thought it was because white people were programmed to hate Jews.
Only the blonde ones with blue eyes.
It’s also that they don’t have a problem with charging interest, so if you are in debt and times are tough, you’re going to blame your banker.
There’s a similar issue with Protestants. They didn’t have all those feast days, so they were busy working and becoming more successful. My wife’s family has a saying, “Why are you being pushy like a Lutheran trying to get into heaven?”
It’s great to have Lutherans over for dinner. They do the dishes before I’ve even finished cooking.
Conveniently forgetting that moneylending was one of the few jobs in which they were allowed.
The history of the Jews is basically this script over and over again
Middle Ages: Farming is a noble profession; you filthy Jews can only do the jobs good Christians don’t want to do, like moneylending and tax collecting.
*Technological and societal advances lead to the rise of Banking during the Renaissance*
The Renaissance: OMG! THE JEWS ARE TRYING TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD!!!!
The Industrial Revolution: Business is a noble profession; you filthy Jews can only do the jobs good Christians don’t want to do, like acting or singing.
*Technological and societal advances lead to the rise of Mass Media during the 20th century*
The 20th Century: OMG! THE JEWS ARE TRYING TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD!!!!

A personal anecdote:
Jews are also good at running schools.
My FIL’s family runs one in Shiraz. All of the ayahtollas and goverment officials send their families there. Why? Because the education is way better than a madras. It’s a no brainer.
If it weren’t for a little bit of government protection for running the school, the last remaining relatives would have fled to the US long ago.
Please tell me Chipotle has your FIL’s school cafeteria franchise.

Once Churchill was asked: Why isn’t there Antisemitism in England?

The joke is obviously about Russians not English.
Well, Corbyn did suggest that British Jews were incapable of understanding irony.
Is that not part of their New York sense of humor?

Also, do we have any Chiyonofuji fans here?? I think he’s my fitness role model now. 280 pounds of mostly muscle.
I never played the original Resident Evil 2, but I’ve been playing the remake. The base portion of the game does a great job at building atmosphere and handling the various puzzles, but the boss battles suck. They feel ripped from an entirely different game, ruining the entire tone and feel built up over the course of the exploration, survival and scavenging. I’ve reached the one where you’re supposed to swat the horribly mutated non-zombie guy off the platform with a crane holding a shipping container. Naturally, instead of getting him, I knocked Leon off instead and decided to take a break.
Translation – I do poorly at the boss battles in this game.
I hate boss battles in general. It’s always “here’s this giant impossible roadblock in the game you were enjoying up until now”.
When it builds on the mechanics of the rest of the game, it can work. When it’s a random and stark departure, it doesn’t.
Of course, there are always exceptions both ways. But it’s harder to make it work if you deviate greatly.
I want to say it was a few of the Assassin’s Creeds in a row now that “boss battles” are pretty much just the head honcho being somewhere and you being able to whack him however you want. I believe Far Cry is guilty of the opposite. IIRC, in one of the more recent ones I could see the boss character and was dropping rounds right in his dome from beyond aggro range, and eventually just had to walk up to trigger a cutscene so that I could engage in a gunfight entirely unlike the way I’d played the whole rest of the game.
Figuring out how to get through the security around the target is, well, all the fun of an assassination mission.
I’ve never fought a farcry boss, because something has always led me to ragequit before then.
I really enjoyed the first few FarCrys; 4 was really entertaining.
I occasionally get the impulse to grab a PS4 & pick up the new version.
There is nothing wrong with my PS3, but I just use it for the occasional BluRay now, especially since I recently got a TV with a built-in Roku (I used to use Plex on the PS3, but there’s a Plex client for the Roku).
Still I’m tempted.
Maybe I’ll carve some space out and install Windows on this iMac and just play it that way.
Oh, I did finish FarCry 4.
Took about fifteen minutes.
Only FarCry game I reached the end of.
Oh, and I really loved the Uncharted series. That’d be reason to buy a PS4 alone, just to play the last one.
I happened across some older, depressing interview where Amy Hennig talks about how Uncharted couldn’t be made today, since there’s no online tie-in to some bullshit in-game economy.
Let the AAA houses die. Build more AA titles.
The bloated companies got addicted to the microtransaction lucre and are riding it into the ground. If they don’t adapt, they’ll be replaced.
I still occasionally have dream of trying to kill that one boss in one of the early Zelda games who you had to bounce/ balance on his head while doing the downward attack. I really really hated that fight. I had cramps in my fingers and button shaped bruises before I finally killed him.
The Legend of Zelda series is a set of games I never finished an installment of. For whatever reason, I sucked at them.
I remember other titles in the same generation causing finger bruising from that controller design.
Something young ‘uns will never understand:
Passing information/rumors about where to bomb/burn/push because the consumer internet hasn’t been invented yet.
Until Nintendo Power published that map.
Do you remember going room by room, screen by screen in Zelda planting bombs to look for secret doors? and attacking every single square of hedge for the same reason. I find that even though I absolutely did this, and also dug every square of one of the early Ultima games looking for something (I remember doing it, but not why), when I try to play something nostalgic my patience is no longer up to the task.
I had to share the console with too many other people – I didn’t have the time to be thorough.
And the first candle would only let you set two fires, making you exit the screen and come back to try again? That second candle was a godsend.
Most of them are extended battle scenes – my least favorite game activity. I like exploring, solving puzzles, minor battles – when that gets interrupted by a huge battle I suck at, it’s a major frustration.
Most of them are 25 minute or longer series of cutscenes punctuated by some 3 second to hit Q quicktime event. This is annoying to me since I don’t usually enjoy the cutscene and frequently want to get to a stopping place sometime in the middle of 25 minutes of non skippable cutscene.
Oh, that reminds me.
Since the only Resident Evil game I had played was 4, early on in 2, I kept expecting to be hit with the same types of QTEs that plagued 4. So far, that hasn’t happened, and apparnetly I’m on the penultimate area for the character’s story.
On a related note, I almost didn’t finish RE4, because the fist major boss had a QTE to not die that required a key combination that was both A: impossibly difficult on a keyboard/mouse, and B: didn’t register too well. I ended up buying a controller just to finish the darn fight.
Got I to a long, wine-soaked argument with a friend last night. Arguing is no fun when you are constantly badgered to prove a negative.
Him: “sanctions are a tool that totally work, prove to me that they don’t.” Goes on to dismiss every example because reasons. And the only reason NK is talking to us right now is sanctions. Nothing to do with a failed state that knows it can’t win, no sir, they’d be doing awesome if it wasn’t for sanctions.
Long story short, arguing politics while drinking is rarely productive or fun.
You wasted a perfectly good night.
Precisely
Depends on whether the wine was Two Buck Chuck or Screaming Eagle.
I consider both to be a waste of time.
Credit to Scott Adams for this: Make him choose his best case for “sanctions work” and argue that. If he can’t defend that one, the other ones are even weaker so he loses those. I chose the handle “straffinrun” because of the way so many people just drop multiple arguments and hope one sticks. Drove me nuts.
Sanctions actual, but unspoken, rationale is that by starving the people of despotic regime X, we hope to make things bad enough that they rebel. Unfortunately. despots are generally good at blaming the sanctions for the misery and keeping enough popular support to stave off rebellion. Sanctions are evil. I don’t care if they ‘work’ or not, making people more miserable to make them rise up and get shot doesn’t pass moral muster.
^^^ This
Sanctions never hurt those in charge.
Exactly. Another aspect is that the way the US employs sanctions is by forcing other countries to follow along. OK, the US deems it wrong to do business with a regime? Fine, but what if the US is wrong? It really is a bully tactic.
This was precisely my argument. The dude doesn’t argue in good faith and we always get into it when we drink. His a self professed “Bill Maher libertarian”. We should just leave it alone but the dude loves to argue and I end up taking the bate.

Yeah, but most of the comments are rightly taking the piss out of this idiot MP (but I repeat myself).
STEVE ALSO IMPROVE HIS FILLING WITH PRACTICE. BY PRACTICE MEAN…
Let’s not even get started on STEVE SMITH’S crust
Slowly, the worm turns….
“Fired FBI agent Peter Strzok told Congress last year that the agency “did not have access” to Clinton Foundation emails that were on Hillary Clinton’s private server because of a consent agreement “negotiated between the Department of Justice attorneys and counsel for Clinton.””
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/peter-strzok-clinton-doj-struck-deal-that-blocked-fbi-access-to-clinton-foundation-emails-on-her-private-server
What difference at this etc?
Yeah, wasn’t the deal that they finally turned those particular emails over months after the fact, and only with strict rules regarding what could and couldn’t be read? I’m sure all of that is perfectly above board.
Don’t be mad at Hillary that she was able to get her files ignored, while Trump has his lawyer raided.
And no, certain individuals on this site, I don’t think Cohen was clean or that Trump can do no wrong. But I think it is clear that our government is run by self-important agents who don’t feel beholden to democratic principles. And that should worry us more than some bad man in the white house.
Or how the FBI negociates for access to evidence, while serving no knock arrest warrants (including tip-off to the media)?
Yep, Trump will be gone sooner or later but the apparatchik class is in place permanently.
What did the Justice Department have to gain such that it would enter into a “consent agreement” with Clinton or any of her associates? An agreement where one side gets everything they want and the other gets nothing isn’t “negotiated” at all.
President Hillary?
Let’s name names. He needs to say who in DOJ negotiated that arrangement.
It was ‘negotiated’ on an airport tarmac. Do the math.
The DNC has never turned over to the FBI their computers/servers that were compromised. One would think if the Russians actually hacked the devices then the DNC would be happy, nay proud, to aid the law enforcement efforts to prove to the Nation and World that Putin and his henchman were behind the “most prepared candidate ever” losing.
On the other hand if- as reports in the NYT and WP during 2016, and as President Obama stated on TV in October that it was impossible for the election to be hacked- are correct then the alternate explanation proffered might be correct. That a DNC insider upset at the fix being in provided Wikileaks the info. We already know that Podesta was spearphished and that could have been anybody.
Also I would like to sign up for the “I prefer not to” option when dealing with the FBI.

From the “I was not expecting that” files:
George R.R. Martin Cuts Into Giants Over Odell Beckham Trade
I would have wagered he’d be a sneering “sportzball” douche. I stand corrected and like him a little more.
He’ll do anything to get out of finishing up GoT.
Does he not like the touch-basckets the sportsball captain can make?
Oh god no, he roots for both Jets and Giants, he’s put in NFL references in the Game of Thrones books (fuck your “A Song of Ice and Fire”, “Game of Thrones” is why people read it) and book fans hoping to catch any glimmer of updates on the books have learned to not visit his journal when season is on, because his beloved teams usually get trashed by Evil Wicked Ones and he gets all sad.
Disclaimer: I didn’t like the first book so I stopped reading, but the meta-narrative of his fans’ desperation, suffering and forlorn hope is way better than anything he plotted.
I haven’t read a single book. I’ll watch the final season on HBO, since I’m a completionist, but I’m not sure I’ll ever pick up the books at this point.
Do yourself a favor and save yourself many valuable hours of life. IMO it starts out strong but every book gets worse as the volumes progress. By the 4th book you just wanna punch GRRM in the nuts repeatedly.
That’s about where I stopped. And that was *ahem* before HBO & it became the new Harry Potter. There are better constructed high-fantasy epics out there.
What’re your recommendations?
Oof. That’s too hard for me to answer – it’s not really my wheelhouse. I could give a couple examples of things I liked (say, the Shannara books) but I’m no authority on the genre.
I will say that I like focus and stories that wrap up. Two things that GRRM seems allergic to.
One of the reasons I rolled my eyes is because Guy Gavriel Kay’s Lions of al-Rassan did the “history but with a twist in low-ish fantasy setting, with lots of politicking and good people divided by loyalties, and also medieval warfare sucks for people” thing better, and wrapped it up in one fucking book. And it noticed that religion is kinda big deal for the time period right off the bat.
It’s been quite a while since I read high-fantasy, but I recall really enjoying The Belgariad quite a lot.
Caveats: I was much younger, so I may have been more taken with the basic “hero with a hidden destiny” storyline than I would be today. I also want to say it’s a bit YA, but I’m not certain that’s true.
That’s more or less the arc I went through with Wheel Of Time.
I am glad I made it all the way through. I think Brandon Sanderson gave it a satisfactory ending. The books in the middle were mind numbing. “I think the third best wine”. STFU and DO something!!!
I’d be interested in a fan-edit of WOT, a’la The Phantom Edit.
Me too, and every few years I think “hmm I’m bored, nothing looks interesting I kind of liked WoT, maybe I’ll, … No!”
Usually I’ll put a book down and just not go back. With WoT somewhere in the middle of book 4 or 5 I said “fuck this shit I can’t take anymore ” and slammed the book shut.
^^^This^^^
Bought GOT Book 1 in bargain bin yesterday. Couldn’t get past page 27. Tossed it back in the bin today. Is the HBO series worth watching in spite of the book?
I dropped it when I realized I didn’t like anyone, nor did I want to keep seeing them.
I hit that point with The Walking Dead and, more recently, Westworld.
Also, Better Call Saul. I didn’t care about any character but Mike and they didn’t spend that much time on him. Saul/Jimmy is just an annoying character.
I enjoyed season 1. Lost interest after that.
I couldn’t be arsed with the books, knew the plot going in and have still enjoyed the show Seasons 1-4 I borrowed from a friend. I just also couldn’t be arsed to go out and acquire more.
Beckham would have been savaged for his antics had he played for the Jets.
As someone who long ago gave up on loving football and now hate watches teams enjoying their misery, this trade strikes me as a win win. The Browns cap a year where they showed signs of life by adding a classic locker room cancer wide out, G.R.R. Martin is sad, and the Giants are dismantling their team.
He’s a Giants and Jets fan? That seems odd.
different sport but same town: weirdest combo ever = Giants and Dodgers fan

I have to admit, it would be humorous if Brady has to be replaced by Bortles and the Pats go on to win the Super Bowl. Would Brady still be the greatest, or we he just be as good as Bortles?
Bortles would have to win 5 more Super Bowls after that then, yes, they’d be equal. I’d be fine with watching that happen.

I haz sad politics has seeped into mah comic book movies. No review I’ve seen yet of Captain Marvel has been able to refrain from the politics angle. Sad.
I have not seen it. The star openly injected SJW nonsense into the publicity tour. So it’s unsurprising people are looking for the politics of the film.
But that doesn’t mean we have to sink to that level. Plenty of other things to criticize the movie for. The faults of the movie weren’t politics, but story telling, you know what movies are supposed to do. Even so, it was still better than a lot of the dreck. Marvel is good at doing that, making movies that are ‘meh’ to keep you interested for the tentpoles…tentpole, that sounds so much more sexist in 2019 than when the MCU…
CPRM you can’t be surprised when the star pointedly brings up politics that politics become part of the review. With the arguable exception of Black Panther, I don’t think it has happened with any other MCU movie.

Just about the only thing mass shooters seem to have in common is the decision to pull the trigger on a bunch of people. Their motivations seem to be completely random – each having their own special flavor of crazy infecting their brain.
No idea where this fool thinks that, all of the sudden, ranks of them will start to see his kind as the people to target.
The only Asians likely to get shot are Muslims, as in Christchurch.

This sucks. Anti-Muslim terror attack in Christchurch, NZ.
49 dead so far. 4 people in custody.
Brace for more anti-gun rhetoric and calls for gun control.
Sorry meant to be a new comment.
And the killer may have livestreamed the massacre.
People recorded the livestream and you can watch it online.
The manifesto was racist (anti-immigrant) and had Trump as a good guy for white supremacists.
From what I’ve seen in brief, it’s basically a complete shitpost/meme compendium with no rational connection to anything (ie. the videogame references and Candace Owens, etc).
Not that unlike the Breivik scenario a few years back – although I think B was a little more rational.
Sounds like a whackado. Did he get killed or was he captured?
I’m glad I work remotely. I had friends at my last job, but talking politics (esp. Gun Control) was not exactly off the table, because everyone assumed you thought the same way as them. I floored my IT department when ever I told them I was against Net-Neutrality.
I don’t really want to get political about a tragedy, I just want to say that the people who look down their nose at people for truely and compassionately issuing “thoughts and prayers” are being disengenuos. No one can do anything to change the past. And proposed gun laws are also useless at stoping terror attacks.
But I do get being frustrated with people trying to message solidarity over social media. I think it’s the projecting righteousness, when you should be content with no one knowing.
Me neither, but…
