Saturday night links of, what day is it?

Paradise.

 

I get a couple of days respite, so I take my dog to the cabin. Yesterday, I decided to drive over to this little gem at the base of the Sawtooth Mountains. On my way back, I realize it’s 2pm and I haven’t gotten the links done yet. Panic ensues, I speed up, and five minutes later, realize it’s only Friday. That’ll get you talking to yourself.

 

Seriously, what could go wrong? I mean, yeah, this is exactly what happened in 2008, but it’s 2019, right?

 

I think in Latin, “Google” means “Skynet”.

 

Nothing to see here, move along. And next time, wear a SCUBA tank.

 

I don’t see how, but I can hope.

 

Yeah, but we’re the ones oppressing Muslims.

 

I leave you with this little ditty.

      Newly-single?

      1. Rebel Scum

        As in I’m single as of today.

        1. Cacciatore

          Woohoo! Party!

          1. Chafed

            Break up or divorce?

    2. Newly as in the divorce decree was granted?

      I would have suggested this.

      Or, if I wanted to be evil, this, which has some of the most fabulous hair you’ll ever see.

      1. Rebel Scum

        Gf, not wife. And no reason to be depressed.

        1. Chafed

          Then congratulations on your freedom.

        2. MikeS

          Well, hopefully she doesn’t come back.

      2. MikeS

        Your first link was really good.

        And then…?

    The New York Federal Reserve Bank said Friday it will inject billions into the US financial plumbing on a daily basis for the next three weeks in an effort to prevent a spike in short-term interest rates.

    THIS TIME IT WILL BE DIFFERENT!

    1. DEG

      Damn, first loser.

  2. Playa Manhattan

    Weird. Google pulled the report shortly after it was posted.

  3. DEG

    A source at Google familiar with the situation suggested, however, that NASA accidentally published the paper early, before its team’s claims could be thoroughly vetted through scientific peer review, a process that could take anywhere from weeks to months.

    If the paper holds up under the scrutiny of the scientific community, it will herald a watershed moment in quantum science. Its central claim counters doubt that some unforeseen law of nature may prevent quantum computers from operating as hoped.

    Why am I reminded of cold fusion?

    James Haggerty, the lead counsel in the case being brought on behalf of the plaintiffs told Fox News that despite the U.N.’s reassurances and the promise of a $400 million fund, no victim has been compensated.

    “The Secretary General has already apologized and accepted responsibility, stating that the evidence showed the U.N. caused the death and illness that ravaged Haiti. Any argument that they haven’t accepted responsibility for what they did to the people of Haiti is a fiction. And they had previously agreed to accept liability in exactly these sorts of situations.”

    Ahh, so he didn’t accept responsibility. Surprise, surprise.

  5. Rebel Scum

    The neighbors across the street just put pumpkins on their porch. I feel like it is too early for that.

    1. Not Adahn

      They are showing up on farmstands here, so they’re ripe locally.

    2. mikey

      COSTCO had Halloween costumes out a couple weeks ago. I hate pushing the seasons like that

      1. one true athena

        Just be glad Halloween exists, or Christmas would start the day after “Back to School” ends in August.

    3. There are three assholes in the neighborhood with full blown Halloween displays already erected.

      1. Chafed

        I don’t condone vandalism but I would understand why those pumpkins were smashed.

      2. Count Potato

        STEVE SMITH HAS DISPLAY ALREADY ERECTED

      3. Rebel Scum

        There are in my area as well. And they put them up weeks ago. I don’t get it.

    4. kinnath

      Sam’s Club had their Christmas decoration on sale a few days after Labor Day.

      Fucking nuts.

  6. Cacciatore

    Lobster and pasta consumed. Time to commence the drinkin’

    1. Spudalicious

      Lobster pasta, or pasta on the side?

        1. Spudalicious

          That is wrong on so many levels.

  7. Rebel Scum

    Who?

    Joe Kennedy✔
    @joekennedy

    Big news: I’m running for US Senate. This isn’t a time for waiting, for sitting on the sidelines, or for playing by rules that don’t work anymore. This is the fight of our lives, the fight of my generation — and I’m all in. I hope you’ll join me at

    Oh, chappaquiddickstick boy. Do us a favor and don’t drink and drive.

    1. Cacciatore

      Drink and drive alone on a quiet road with lots of trees and sharp curves.

    2. Plinker762

      And what exactly is he going to be fighting for? Reduced standard of living for all?

      1. Cacciatore

        Gaia.

    3. tarran

      That guy went to my high school (more than a decade behind me). My classmates were all agog about him. But, based on his facebook pronouncements, he’s an imbecille.

      It will be entertaining watching Markey try to geld him. And if he takes Markey out, that would be hilarious. Even better would be if he and Markey both mortally wound each other, and a Republican holds the seat for 6 years.

      1. slumbrew

        Two guys who essentially graduated college and went straight into politics.

        I can’t think of anyone less qualified to represent my.

    4. Stinky Wizzleteats

      Ugh, here we go again. I was hoping we were pretty much done with these inbred alcoholic election fixing rum runners.

      1. Chafed

        The Kennedy hold on MA politics is astounding. No matter what gets unearthed to show what their beloved saints were really like, they continue to worship at the alter. It makes me nauseous.

        1. Donation Not Taxation

          “nauseous” means induces someone to be nauseated
          Someone who has not seen The Wizard of Speed and Time eats nauseous day old sushi pizza, gets nausea, and is nauseated.

          1. MikeS

            nauseous adjective
            nau·​seous | \ ˈnȯ-shəs
            , ˈnȯ-zē-əs

            Definition of nauseous

            1 : causing nausea or disgust
            2 : affected with nausea or disgust

          2. Donation Not Taxation

            Glad you agree.

    5. Suthenboy

      “…playing by rules that don’t work anymore.”

      According to his party that would be rule of law, impartiality of courts, people making their own choices, the bill of rights, representative republic and so on. Guess what the new rules are that they think will work?

  8. Rhywun

    I don’t see how, but I can hope.

    I thought that was going to be about parking tickets.

    1. Count Potato

      I don’t know how NK can owe NYC when they are run by the same government.

  9. Plinker762

    The U.N.? What a joke. I hear the building is going to become low rent housing.

    1. J. Frank Parnell

      From the sidebar:

      A faux sex act, a jibe about Donald Trump’s manhood and swearing seven-year-olds: Madonna, 61, shocks fans on extremely dramatic opening night of Madame X Tour in NYC

      The Sun reports the star then switched to politics when she made a scathing political remark about the US President, saying: ‘What do you call a man with a small penis? Donald Trump.’

      She then brought three of her children on-stage, with Madge asking Stella, seven, what she wanted to say to the crowd.

      The youngster responded: ‘Me too’ – in reference to the movement against sexual harassment and sexual assault.

      Wow. Such shocking. Much transgressive.

      1. Rhywun

        Razor-sharp wit right there.

      2. Count Potato

        “She then brought three of her children on-stage”

        She bought them, so she might as well use them.

      3. MikeS

        The youngster responded: ‘Me too’

        So, Madonna sexually abused Stella?

        1. Jarflax

          Is there any reason to doubt this?

          1. MikeS

            Sounds like she’s been credibly accused, to me.

          2. MikeS

            Sounds to me like she’s been credibly accused.

          3. Nephilium

            Looks to me like MikeS has been replaced by squirrels.

          4. Jarflax

            Grammar squirrels

          5. Rhywun

            You can say that again in an alternate manner.

          6. MikeS

            To me, it sounds like she’s been credibly accused.

          7. MikeS

            Credibly accused, sound to me like she must be.

            /Yoda squirrel

          8. Jarflax

            Accused she is, credible I find it.

    A NOTICE TO GLIBSHOOTERS:

    Visitors to the Vampire State have more rights than the tax cattle residents. You do NOT need a NYS pistol license to compete in the matches here, and it is legal to transport a pistol to and from the match, but you must remove its lethal presence from the state within 48 hours of the match (both before and after) — as long as it is an NRA sanctioned event (which my club’s are). LOL, this state is so addicted to Top Manism that they have to rely on an organization they’re trying to ban.

    What this means is, I expect to see some of you making with the BLAM!s. It’s probably too short of a notice to make it to tomorrow’s match (registration closes at 9:30 tomorrow morning), but there’s going to be a two-day one on October 26th and 27th. You can shoot either day or both days (the stages will be different on the two days) and if you shoot both days, there is a substantial discount (percentage-wise, the fee is only $15 to start with).

    1. Count Potato

      Unfortunately, NYC airports don’t care what is legal.

      1. Not Adahn

        Also true.

        So do not take possession during any connections there.

      2. Tres Cool

        See also- my arrest in 1996

    2. Sean

      Sounds like a trap.

      Narc.

      1. Not Adahn

        So, are you going to make it tomorrow, or are you waiting until October?

        1. Sean

          I had the darnedest boating accident today. ?

          Way too early for tomorrow and we have a surprisingly full social calendar for October weekends.

          1. Not Adahn

            Team SIG is grossly underrepresented here. If you haven’t already bought one, it would be an excuse to pick up an X5 Legion.

          2. Sean

            I have a Legion 226 sao…

            I’m on the fence about the X5 Legion.

          3. Not Adahn

            Under the rules here, SAOs automatically go in the “Enhanced” division.

    3. Suthenboy

      No offense to NY Glibs but the chances of catching me in NY are zero, pistol or no pistol. No way in hell I would let them have a penny of my money.

  11. Count Potato

    Apparently, this video is fake:

    https://twitter.com/TheLaurenChen/status/1175468827422932993

    “Is it ever acceptable for a man to hit a woman in self-defense?

    I’m doing a video on domestic abuse and violence against men, and would like to know your thoughts…”

    1. Heroic Mulatto

      That was the weirdest commercial for The General Car Insurance I have ever seen.

      1. Not Adahn

        You’re in New Hampshire, you’ve got a pistol, you should come shooting.

        1. Heroic Mulatto

          I’d have to check my schedule, but it’s tempting.

          1. Not Adahn

            Do. I am quite new to the sport/game/hobby, but I find it tremendously enjoyable. I’m sure there are clubs near you that probably run USPSA/IDPA or the like. This club’s rules are less “learn IRL self-defense handgun skills” and more “I like having an excuse to shoot at things.”

      2. I thought it was for Papa Johns Gold Bond Icy Hot.

    2. Stinky Wizzleteats

      So this guy’s the black Joey Salads posting fake outrages for the sweet, sweet clicks?

  12. Derpetologist

    Finished a pretty good book today called Smarter by Sunday, which has 52 short articles on the most important topics in history, art, philosophy, and science.

    However, since it was compiled by NYT writers, there were some bloopers.

    ***
    We acknowledge that the content of the book are overwhelmingly devoted to matters that concern Western history, art , literature, and even science. Our editorial decisions have been based on the fact that our readership lives in North America where educational traditions have been established for several centuries.
    ***

    So…they picked topics they thought would be familiar to their readers? Seems like it would be more honest to say that the art and ideas of Europe have had much more of an impact on the world than any other place.

    ***
    African Americans in the South struggled to resist segregation laws passed, ironically, by Progressives in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
    ***

    The progressives at that time were unabashedly racist, so there is nothing ironic about the laws they passed. Today’s progressives are also unabashedly racist.

    ***
    Ironically, one of the central tenets of Marx and Engels included in The Communist Manifesto was their belief that the uprising of the proletariat and the creation of the communist state could take place only in an advanced capitalist economy such as Germany, France, or Great Britain, but the two most successful leaders of communist revolutions, V I Lenin and Mao Zedong, applied Marxist ideas in nations swarming with peasants and without an urban proletariat. In the end, they and their successors twisted Marx’s ideas and created violent dictatorships that the deaths of millions of people who opposed them. In time, the term communist became repugnant to most people.
    ***

    Quite a run-on sentence there. Also note the part about “swarming with peasants.” Ugly, bad things swarm: bees, locusts, rats. I’m pretty sure they wouldn’t say the inner cities are swarming with Negroes. And we have a nice “that wasn’t *real* communism” remark. WWI and WW2 get their own chapter, but only a single sentence about the millions of deaths from communism.

    I expect NYT writers to be nincompoops, but sometimes they are even dumber.

    1. Rhywun

      I hope there’s a correction posted under each of the 52 stories.

    2. Suthenboy

      “…since it was compiled by NYT writers, there were some bloopers.”

      Ya’ don’t say.

      “Our editorial decisions have been based on the fact that our readership lives in North America where educational traditions have been established for several centuries.”

      To be sure.

      The run-on sentence is gibberish and apologetics for murderers. The outcome will be no different in any country where those ideas are applied. Also, shame on you Derp….bees are not ugly.

      “African Americans in the South struggled to resist segregation laws passed, ironically, by Progressives in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.”
      There is nothing ironic about it. The progs have always been the party of slavery and segregation. In their early years they outright advocated for slavery and not just for blacks but for everyone. Nothing has changed except the words they use.

      LOL. Black Label has to be the worst tasting swill called a beer I have ever had the misfortune to drink. We’d all be speaking German right now if that was the war.

      1. Derpetologist

        +1 Watney’s Red Barrel

        The beer so bad it inspired a Monty Python skit.

        1. Derpetologist

          oopsy, wrong skit- eh the one I linked is pretty good too

  14. Hyperion

    Saturday, that’s what day it is. I keep telling spousal unit all day, no it is not Sunday, stop that shit!

    Sunday means limiting beers. Saturday means ‘drink up!’.

    Yeah, it’s that.

    In other news, its been confirmed that useful idiot Greta is indeed retarded. I mean, sort of like all the current Democratic presidential candidates. Only more than some of them, like maybe 2.

    1. Derpetologist

      I would hope that mental health professionals would speak out against the political exploitation of children and the mentally disabled, but since most shrinks are leftists, there’s very little chance of that.

      https://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/07/upshot/your-surgeon-is-probably-a-republican-your-psychiatrist-probably-a-democrat.html

      ***
      New data show that, in certain medical fields, large majorities of physicians tend to share the political leanings of their colleagues, and a study suggests ideology could affect some treatment recommendations. In surgery, anesthesiology and urology, for example, around two-thirds of doctors who have registered a political affiliation are Republicans. In infectious disease medicine, psychiatry and pediatrics, more than two-thirds are Democrats.
      ***

      1. Hyperion

        Exploiting children for 50 years of failure in climate hysteria predictions and encouraging them to change sex when they’re too young to even understand what sex is, is totally woke, brah.

        Your woke points = -1

        Start thinking right or your social credit score is going down again.

  15. mikey

    First snow on our mountains today. Winter is Coming.

    1. Hyperion

      It was 88 F here today. Where the hell do you live, above the arctic circle?

      1. mikey

        Central Montana. Here at 3,800′ it’s a pleasant 59. Snow starts at about 6k’ and will likely be gone in a day two.
        88 is too hot for me. About perfect for my wife.

        1. Hyperion

          What city? My sister lives near Missoula. It is WOW fucking beautiful there. And I’ve seen the climate crazy stuff there. I remember one day we were out there and it was around 90 F in the day and 50 F at night. We never see anything like that. we’ll probably see 70 tonight and 88 to 70 is about the most extreme day/night temp difference you will see here, and you will only see that in the late spring or early fall.

          1. Shirley Knott

            Huh. I have family in Big Timber and Hardin, and family ancestors and connections in Miles City.

          2. Hyperion

            I don’t even know any of those towns. About the only town I’ve learned near where my sister lives is Bozeman. I have some incredible pics of the mountains near there.

          3. mikey

            Stopped in Big Timber last week for breakfast. Great biscuits and cravy at the restaraunt attached to the Lucky Lils. Harden is always the gas stop before hitting/after leaving 212

          4. mikey

            South of Helena. About an hour and a half from Missoula A nice little farm and ranch town. Undiscovered so far by Californians and other left coasters like Missoula Bozone have been.

          5. mikey

            and Bozone

          6. Hyperion

            We have to keep thinking. Are they really going to flee their fucked up high tax, high regulation shitholes and come here and vote for the same shit, or are they going to interact with the deporables and become one of them?

            We’ll see.

          7. mikey

            Brooks posts articles from the Bozone paper and I think we can see the answer. At least in the trendy places like Bozeman, Missoula and Kalispell. Trouble is us deplorables are starting to get outnumbered. Our governor is basically a comme.

          8. Nevada and Colorado suggest the former.

          9. Hyperion

            “Our governor is basically a comme.”

            Yeah, well… tell me again a few years after he has been able to pass some of his ‘commie’ agenda.

          10. Hyperion

            “South of Helena. About an hour and a half from Missoula”

            I mean if you’re driving 100mph and there’s no cars, which is totally possible.

          11. mikey

            Unfortunately, the days of “Reasonable and Proper” are long gone

          12. Hyperion

            The last time I drove from here to Seattle, I remember driving more than 100 mph several times, and more than 90 mph a lot.

      2. Nephilium

        Broke 90 here today, much hotter then I expected.

    I tried this queso recipe last night: https://modernistcuisine.com/recipes/melty-queso-dip/

    Sometimes, simple is the best.

    1. Not Adahn

      Velveeta and Ro-Tel?

      1. mikey

        Works for me. Add some chopped scalions and japalinos.

    2. Rhywun

      Sodium citrate?! Do you shop at a chemistry lab?

      1. Playa Manhattan

        Amazon.

        Pro-tip- you can also make electrolyte drinks with it.

        1. Rhywun

          Wikipedia says it prevents melting cheese from getting greasy. Neat!

          1. Playa Manhattan

            The technique was pioneered by a guy named J.L. Kraft, creator of American cheese.

          2. Rhywun

    I went out for a morning hike today- 67 degrees. Sixty. Seven. Degrees. Thank fucking Yahweh that we MIGHT be seeing summer wind down.

    1. Not Adahn

      It’s been in the low 40s at night but we’re in Indian Summer, so up into the 80s tomorrow.

      1. DEG

        Two or three days ago it got chilly enough here at night that one morning I considered turning on the heat to take the chill off the house. I didn’t.

        Today I’m running the air conditioner.

      2. Rhywun

        Yeah, we hit our first 50s in NYC the other day. That’s gone for awhile.

        1. Hyperion

          I couldn’t survive a NYC winter. Fuck that shit. Baltimore is a tropical paradise in comparison. I’m thinking South Carolina. No colder than that again, no way.

          1. Rhywun

            LOL NYC winters are kind of mild for my taste.

          2. Hyperion

            I don’t even know what it is with you Ice Sapiens.

          3. Eh, NYC is nothing like the Adirondacks. Even we here in the Catskills don’t get winter like the Adirondacks.

            (And yes, I know you Minnesoda people are going to laugh at us.)

          4. Hyperion

            When I first came to MD, I couldn’t believe that I saw people wearing winter coats on the street when it was in the 40s. I don’t even own a winter coat here. I have a friend here from Minnesoda and he gets it too. WTF? It’s more than 40 F and you need a coat, LOL.

          5. Yeah, that’s what light jackets/windbreakers are for.

          6. Hyperion

            “Yeah, that’s what light jackets/windbreakers are for.”

            I’m serious, you will see people on the streets here wearing winter parka like coats here when it’s less than 50 F. It’s comical for me.

          7. Sean

            Fat people have built in insulation.

            40 degrees is jacket and fingerless gloves weather.
            Gotta keep that trigger finger unencumbered.

          8. Spudalicious

            You can’t shoot with gloves on? Wimp.

          9. It’s been in the 40s the last few mornings when I left for work at 5:30 AM, and I’m still wearing shorts and a T-shirt.

          10. Not Adahn

            Minnesoda gets the same wind that NE/KS/OK does. The most cold I’ve ever felt was skiing across a lake in the Boundary Waters — with no trees it was Caina.

          11. I will say late March/early April was the worst time I was in St. Petersburg, because it was right around freezing and the cold wet wind blew in from the Gulf of Finland, bringing a heavy wet snow. Dry cold is much less annoying.

          12. peachy rex

            I spend a lot of time outdoors in the upper Midwest, and late winter/early spring is the worst. I don’t mind cold – even single digits is quite tolerable – but mid 30s & wet sucks hard.

      I went for my morning ‘walk/run?’ a few days ago and it was 65 F. Freaking wonderful. I’d rather it was 55. So… what is a hike? Is that when STEVE SMITH KNOW YOU WALKING?

      1. Old Man With Candy

        So… what is a hike?

        Where I go in places that have animals and plants that can kill you.

            You got that backwards. It’s what the cactus can do to him that matter.

          2. mexican sharpshooter

            Indeed. There is a species of jumping cactus here.

          3. Spudalicious

            When we were in Arizona a few years ago, my wife got well acquainted with Jumping Jack cactus.

          4. Jumping Jack cactus is a gas gas gas.

            Jumping Cholla are one hell of a cactus. One time tested piece of advice. Always have a cheap plastic cone when you go hiking. It is the useful way to get a cholla bud out of you – or your dog.

          6. dbleagle

            Damn it. COMB, not cone.

    An interesting start to the game between my alma mater and UVA. First possession resulted in a field goal. Then we made UVA three and out on their first possession. Not getting my hopes up because I still expect to lose to a superior team, but it is good that we’re holding our own thus far.

  22. Nephilium

    Alright, a total of just over 40 miles in the saddle today (the last 10 I convinced the girlfriend to ride with me), with 4 brewery stops. I’m going to call this a good day.

    1. Sean

      Sounds exhausting, but St. Greta would approve, except for those Capitalist beer stops. So, good for you?

      1. Nephilium

        St. Greta would probably complain if she had the ability to think. The bike was probably made in China, and shipped overseas, with all sorts of toxic petrochemicals used to keep it moving and to make the ride more comfortable. That’s not counting the synthetic materials I was wearing to keep myself comfortable, and the sweat off of me.

        One of the breweries was on a college campus if that counts for anything.

    2. Rebel Scum

      So many euphemisms.

    3. DEG

      Which breweries?

      1. Nephilium

        I started going up to Jolly Scholar for lunch, Masthead, Market Garden, then stopped at home for a bit, then up to the Brew Kettle for dinner. Working on my Cleveland brewery passport, I’ve earned the pint glass (and already picked up my coasters).

        1. DEG

          Excellent

          1. Nephilium

            There was a fifth brewery I was thinking of hitting (Boss Dog – it would only add 5 miles to the ride), but it was a bit more of a climb then I was looking for. I would have brought some stuff home from Jolly Scholar (they had some beers pouring at 10 oz beer as $3, 16 oz cans to go for $5) but they were out of tops.

          7. Nephilium

            MikeS: I’m just hoping for a wild card spot at this point. And let’s throw some gasoline on the fire:

            Terry Francona wants a universal DH, and not just because the Cleveland Indians will need one next week

          8. MikeS

            Moving the Astros to the Al was stupid asinine fucking retarded. I don’t care for inter-leauge play as it is, but I could live with it back when it was a few series in the middle of the season.

            However, a contending team having to go on the road to an NL team in the last week or two is complete bullshit.

          9. MikeS

            *addendum*

            Francona is wrong, however. The DH shouldn’t be expanded, it should be abolished. It’s baseball; half the game is defense, half the game is offense. Pitchers need to hit.

          10. creech

            DH- either adopt in both leagues or eliminate in both leagues.

    NBC News, Home Of Donald Trump, Megyn Kelly, And Sex Predator Matt Lauer, Drops A Hit Piece On Barstool Sports Being Too Conservative And Having “Hypersexualized, Submissive” Women

    Now I know what you’re thinking. “Kmarko, there’s no way you can go up against NBC, noted home of liberal programming featuring Donald Trump, Megan Kelly, and Tony Dungy, smashing you for your “conservative ideology” and “lack of progressive discourse” and expect to survive.” “Keith, you seriously think you can take on NBC, former workplace of Matt Lauer and Tom Brokaw and the guy who blocked reporting on Harvey Weinstein, and make it out alive?” I know that. I know the risks. I know I could get buried by them. Even worse I could be locked in a room against my will and sexually harassed by a guy with a rape button under his desk.

    That’s all I got. Overall a pretty big disappointment. Did I want to spend my Saturday responding to a lecture about being too conservative by the company that had Donald Trump host SNL while running for President, no I did not. Did I enjoy being defensive about our treatment of women to the company that paid $25 million a year to a literal sexual predator to be their top star, or giggled uncontrollably while a man talked about grabbing women by their pussies then sat on the tape, no I did not. But that’s just how life goes sometimes.

    Margot Robbie’s Tank Girl Reboot is Officially Happening!

    From popular comic book characters to iconic historical figures, Margot Robbie is quickly becoming the queen of cinema. The empress of the big screen is a powerhouse in front of the camera and behind the scenes. Backed by her production company, LuckyChap Entertainment, Robbie has been making a name for herself as one of the game’s most talked-about budding producers. So far, her credits in the producer’s chair are quite impressive, with such titles as I, Tonya, Dreamland, Terminal, and the upcoming Michelle Williams thriller Promising Young Women. She is also helming a forthcoming TV show based on the popular Ameri-Scares novel series written by Elizabeth Massie. And now it seems she has her sights set on another comic book-based property to bring to life. Margot Robbie’s Tank Girl reboot is officially in development, has a director attached and may star the talented actress once a script is completed.

    Slayyyyyyyyyyyy queeeeeeeeeen! Margot is a girl so why would those who theoretically care about such things note how she is becoming an influential content producer when they can be counting girl movie lines.

    1. AlmightyJB

      I’ve never heard of it but it sounds pretty awesome if it’s Margot in a bikini the whole movie.

    2. I want to be Margot Robbie when I get reincarnated.

      1. AlmightyJB

        Well if you are, then I want to be reincarnated as the boy who lives next door to you.

            ATTN: Xenu on Colar?

  27. Rhywun

    A Federal Communications Commission proposal to replace its 10-digit national suicide prevention hotline number with the three-digit 988 hits too close to home for a Staten Island activist, who noted the numbers 88 are significant in neo-Nazi and white supremacy movements.

    *head-desk*

    1. Jarflax

      Every religion ends up with its own numerology. Progtardity has arrived. 88 is the number of the beast.

      1. Nephilium

        Why not take it back?

        1. Jarflax

          The thing that cracks me up about all of this is that these idiots are actually validating the retarded racist welfare recipients at Stormfront. The massive movement that these idiots live in terror of is a dozen or 2 tattooed unemployed drug addicts who spend their entire lives in housing someone else paid for ranting about (((Jews))) and screaming that all black people do drugs, don’t work and, live on charity. Newsflash people no one on Stormfront is a threat to anything except livestock.

          1. Nephilium

            Hell, I knew about the 88 tatts and shit from back in the day. Run in the skinhead punk scene, and you learn which ones are SHARP, which ones are non-political, and which are boneheads. The fact they need to keep putting up false flags tells you how big the racist movement is these days.

          2. Jarflax

            I was never a punk, but I lived on Short Vine for a couple years in the late 80s, when the punks hung out along that stretch, and the tiny minority that were racist skinheads were usually getting the crap kicked out of them by the others. They were a despised minority in the scene. Pedophile Furry Unicornkin have more influence.

        2. Tres Cool

          I knew what that was before i even clicked

    4. straffinrun

      Googled that. Looks good, but I don’t understand what cooking on the plank does. Hints of cedar?

      1. mexican sharpshooter

        Yes, exactly.

      2. slumbrew

        It adds a pleasant smokiness to the fish.

        I keep a pre-soaked plank in the freezer, makes for an easy and tasty dinner.

        1. Gustave Lytton

          Yep, like wood chips. Also acts a buffer between the coals so it cooks like indirect even directly above the coals.

          Chinook stuffed with brie, shrimp, crab, and lobster meat. About one spoonful (soup, not serving, spoon) each, two of the Brie. Salt, pepper, dill weed, and sliced lemon on top.

    5. Best Brie is from Community.

      I never saw that. How awful was it?

      1. Derpetologist

        To answer your question, I must first set the mood:

        1. CPRM

          I bet Mum-Ra sold exercise equipment through infomercials on Third Earth. That’s one hell of a set of ‘before and after’ pictures.

        2. DEG

          I have fond memories of watching “Thundercats”.

      2. Derpetologist

        Well Rhywun, here is your answer, if you can call it that.

            No. Give yourself a pat on the back- you beat me at my own game.

          WTF did I just watch?

          I like that comments are disabled for the video.

      Gary Cole and this

      1. DEG

        I think that’s Erica Rose Campbell.

        1. DEG

          FAIL!

          1. DEG

            She’s originally from New Hampshire.

            A few years after she retired from porn, I was getting lunch at a sandwich shop not far from the office. I saw a woman leave the shop who was either Erica Rose Campbell or her double.

          2. Cacciatore

  32. straffinrun

    The New York Federal Reserve Bank said Friday it will inject billions into the US financial plumbing on a daily basis for the next three weeks

    Just me or does it seem like the Fed is issuing statements written by a horny teenage boy?

    1. Cacciatore

      “Millions of my unborn children died on your daughters face last night.”

      1. straffinrun

        That’s why she’s Yellin?

      “In a world where everyone has down syndrome…”

    2. straffinrun

      Damn. Thought for sure that was photoshopped.

      1. Jarflax

        She is going to end up marrying Hogg boy and their baby will usher in 1000 years of darkness.

        1. Sir Digby

          “Hogg boy”

          QFT

      2. Cacciatore

        What’s the difference? This is the death of the legacy media in pictures. These kids are skipping because they want out of class. You think THEY made those signs?

        Nobody is buying this shit anymore, and it is driving the establishment nuts. They spent almost a century building a monopoly on information and the internet burned it all down in the span of twenty years. Nobody trusts them. All they have left is making shit up to get a “scoop” like this photo. It’s like watching the post prohibition FBI create criminals and “bust” them at this point.

    3. Blergh…reminds me that my cousin who just started college in Cali went to one of those protests.

      Le sigh.

      1. Cacciatore

        Renew! Renew!

      2. Festus

        They protested here and 60 people showed up, many of them little kids dragged by their Mommies. It was pathetic.

      3. Nephilium

        If it makes you feel better, my mid-20’s niece supported Sanders last election.

        I blame it on her being young and stupid.

        1. Cacciatore

          I am young and a Libertarian. Youth is no excuse, but you can’t fix stupid.

          1. Nephilium

            At least she had a lot of hatred for Hillary, and still talks to me, knowing I’m a libertarian.

            And well, I can tell her stories about her mom doing dumb shit when she was young.

        2. I would accept it, but then I remember, she, her sister, and my uncle were all in the tank for Hillary from the get-go.

          1. I hear ya though, Nep, it do be that way sometimes.

    4. Rhywun

      The one on the left-center looks like George Michael Bluth.

      1. MikeS

        Ha-ha! It does.

        1. Cacciatore

          “It does”

          Intended snark or not, that’s gold.

  34. CPRM

    Fucking hell shit ass motherfucker! So, I had a monitor with a failing backlight, which was giving me a headache. I had a TV the same size, so I ordered the cable to hook that up instead. Good, headaches gone. then today I logged into netflix on the pc and the TV turned to static, turns out that’s because it’s not HDCP compliant.

    “If you only experience this error with one monitor, you may have an HDCP issue. We recommend contacting the monitor manufacturer for more assistance, or leaving the device disconnected while streaming.”

    “HDCP stands for High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection. The purpose of HDCP is to protect digital copyrighted content as it travels from a device to your TV, generally through HDMI or DVI connections. HDCP is required to stream Netflix from a device connected to your TV.”

    Cascade

    Failures

    1. Cacciatore

      HDCP support is the only reason HDMI has survived. The cables and ports are unreliable, tiny conductors limit fidelity and cable length, but you don’t get that sweet, sweet copyright trolling ability.

      1. Count Potato

        HDMI works fine. The conductors do not limit fidelity, and off-hand I think the max cable length is 50 ft.

    2. Count Potato

      The whole thing is retarded. No one uses HDMI to pirate anything, but the analog outputs of a cable box are disabled if HDMI is connected.

      1. Cacciatore

        Analogue!

    3. Ouch man, what a real PITA.

      1. Cacciatore

        I agree. Television sets make horrible monitors.

        1. CPRM

          Yeah, if I had the money to replace the other monitor with another monitor, I could be as smug as you. Silly me, trying to save money and being upset at asshole things getting in my way of making things that can do something do that something until I have the money to find a proper replacement. Us poor people are the worst, total idiots!

          7. MikeS

            Three 30 packs = new monitor

          8. CPRM

            So you want me to not drink for 3 days?!

          9. MikeS

            Gawd, no.

            I mean, can’t you steal three 30 packs from someone and sell them to some neighborhood kids?

            And Sara Silverman JUST NOW got dropped by the progs, even though she’s been shitlording for 20 yrs, but she supported ‘the right people’…I don’t know if I’m talking sense anymore, I pass out now…

          14. Sir Digby

            Man, you couldn’t hold on for the good late-night stuff…

            I am disappoint.

          15. MikeS

            No, I hear you, man. It’s bullshit.

            But, I doubt she truly got dropped. She’ll disappear for a year or so and then be back like she never went anywhere.

    3. Jarflax

      I am hereby renouncing libertarian ideals. I have argued for years that because humans are capable of reason they are special creatures and deserving of dignity and respect. All of my personal morality, as well as the moral codes of virtually every system of belief, depends on this syllogism:

      Rational beings should be allowed to follow the path set by their personal reason (be free)
      Humans are rational beings
      Humans should be free.

      The minor premise having been shown to be false, the syllogism fails to establish the conclusion and I am adrift.

      1. slumbrew

        Give me all of your money and I will tell you what to do.

        1. Jarflax

          Sorry, if I give up my moral code I am not becoming a sheep. I am going all in and taking what I want!

      Replying to @AndrewYang
      The solution is to go back to the times when porn sites asked ARE YOU 18 YES OR NO and if you click no it sends you to the Disney website

      Jaegeralus

      Those warning systems are completely outdated. They won’t successfully and haven’t ever successfully barred kids from access. Everyone has lied to those things.

      Justin Whang ?

      Maybe parents shouldn’t be raising liars

        gotta love Justin.

      2. Derpetologist

        Side note: almost every parenting panic relates to boys: porn, violent video games, etc

        You know what would solve 99% of these issues?

        Recognizing that boys are different from girls and tailoring education to account for that.

        But no- the powers that be say that boys are defective girls and must be drugged until they are counting the ridges on checkers.

  37. Heroic Mulatto

    I once attended a lecture by Terrence Tao during an academic conference at UCLA. During the question period, one of the attendees in the audience said he had an IQ of 207 and that he was smarter than Tao. Tao then told the guy, “Ok, if you have such a high IQ, then guess the size of my penis.” After five minutes, he said his penis was 3 inches and he began laughing, thinking he outwitted Tao. However, Tao said, “That’s completely wrong. It’s 9 inches and just because I’m Asian, it doesn’t mean I have a small penis.” Tao then proceeded to force the dude up to the front of the lecture hall and pulled down the guy’s pants to reveal a penis of 3 inches in length. Tao accordingly dismissed him from the lecture.

    1. Sir Digby

      ………pics?

      1. Heroic Mulatto

        I’m pretty sure there are pics of Tao all over the Internet.

        1. Sir Digby

          Not doing that search–no way.

          1. Jarflax

            Terence Tao is a mathematician. HM is a Renaissance man. He links big butts, big brains, and big weirdness. I skip half the links here (cause most of the music leaves me cold) but his links I click. HM links are what the internet was meant to be! Knowledge, wisdom, foolishness, horror, and sweet sweet ass.

          2. Sir Digby

            I skip half the links here

            Weeeeeeeelllll……….fuck.

          3. Jarflax

            I read the links links (well the 5% that aren’t paywalled cause fuck wapo and wsj and nyt) but a lot of the music response threads don’t do much for me.

          4. Now, I know you don’t skip mine. Some of mine, anyway.

          5. Jarflax

            I skip the music videos. In the morning I am at work and have no speakers, in the evening I am reading and commenting while ‘watching’ or playing something on the other monitor and playing on my headphones.

          6. That sounds almost flamenco-ish.

          7. straffinrun

            Heh. I listen to that all the time. He’s got a bunch of cool videos.

        2. MikeS

          Well, probably not you specifically.

          Also, watch out for Fatty Bolger.

          1. Sir Digby

            watch out for Fatty Bolger.

    Local news fapping away over Kennedy running for Senate.

    He’s such an empty suit. A blank slate for idiots to project their hopes onto.

    I predict he’ll handily defeat Markey because he too is an empty suit with no accomplishments, despite spending his entire adult life sucking off the public teat.

    The young guy with no accomplishments but a famous name will beat the old guy with no accomplishments.
