Baby, it continues to be cold outside! OK, for some of you more fortunate glibs, it continues to be pleasant—maybe even tropical. I, myself, have taken a couple of holiday days off, in order to attempt some follow-up/closure on my previous spleen issue. Might as well get some other things done, while everyone else is working. Eh, I’ll probably just watch some TV and have a few White Claws. In that same spirit, here’s the weekender ephemera:
This starts off so promising, but things have to go and get violent. And, a bit sexy.
Is it OK to hate everyone in this story? Ugh…I can’t even any more!
Well, it IS Hollywood, after all. (Insert movie industry jokes at your leisure.) There seems to be some hand-wringing regarding this guy not still being locked up. I’m not really sure what they are expecting. Me? I figure she should have been allowed to be armed. Might very well take care of any ‘revolving door’ angst. Please note that I sympathize with the lady, and get the concern about violent mental illness.
Why do they call her ‘Joy’? Is it to be ironical? With her, maybe we should call it ‘Skanksgiving’. And, by the way, Mr. Berkowitz (yeah, I went there)—there’s nothing “sort of” about you.
Feces II: Feces Harder. Denver sees LA and says, “I’ll see your homeless problem, and raise you a citation on a productive member of society!” What is it with these bums? Don’t they know they can just go to Starbucks for this? Yes, I did consider an Electric Boogaloo reference, Mr. Falcon.
Do you just hate you some Jews? Well, have I got the perfect city for you! Seriously, kids—WTF? Familiarity breeds contempt? Did they take yer jerbs? Look, Al Sharpton isn’t gonna bang you, so stop being a tryhard. OK, maybe just a handy…
Whoosh! It’s an oldie, but a …oldie. I have always had a good laugh over this story. In fact, you should look into what happened to the guy.
Sorry, my loyal (and not-so-loyal) glib friends, but I am running out of time for completing the post. Life intrudes on what should be my TG holiday time off. Feel free in jump in with your own closing music. I will, hopefully, be able to continue next week, but family care is pressing. Do me proud, and glib it up tonight.

Remember the “shithole” Trump kerfuffle? He was talking about wrong countries.
Well, just leaving one off the list.
I had..something about calls coming from inside the country? But fuck it, I have to watch the clock for database reboots, so I’m not all here. Or all there.
Hey–you’re in good company.
Or, bad. Haven’t figured it out, yet.
Well maybe they should work of calories.

Thank you Sunny.
Where’s the family of all these mentally ill persons dumping diarrhea (or pushing people in front of subway trains, or tossing bricks at passers-by, etc.etc.etc.)?
Who wants to claim that??
Odds are good they have no idea where these people are, or if they even know they’re alive. And as they get older, there’s less and less chance of there being a close family member who would even think of them.
And if they did find them…what do you do when Brother Larry says no and fucks off somewhere again?
I saw an article recently about some town in Italy where these types roam more or less freely like here but are kept in check by family and shopkeepers and such. No idea if it’s relevant here but it was food for thought.
What you did there….
I mentioned this previously, but I had a friend who became increasingly separated from reality. I’d try to visit and keep him centered, but when I stopped working near where he lived, it got harder. The last I heard from his brother, he was homeless in Colorado. Not much you can do about that,
Note: he was nowhere near the “poop on the street” level of crazy the last time I saw him. He did think InfoWars was actual news, though.
Yes, works a bit better if your culture is more family-oriented, and less migratory. But, California has a pull, and a lot of the people move there, families lose touch, and then illness gets worse with time.
It’s a fucked up problem with no non-coercive solution.
Yup.
An anecdote: in my NYC neighborhood – been here ~10 years – is a population of about 5 or 6 permanent homeless. I’ve seen them around the entire time I’ve lived here. I frequently see one of them in a bodega getting a free cup of coffee or a pizza place getting a slice, etc. etc. I don’t exactly approve of this “solution” but I have to admit it’s better than any alternative I can think of.
To clarify: Obviously, this sort of thing won’t work with more serious cases.
What PZ said. Especially for the more serious cases, there is just so much family can do.
Seems fitting

I know the left puts out one of these “Asshole How-To” guides every year, but really, who does this? I’ve never encountered this shit during Tksgiving and I know some real assholes.

Thanksgiving advice for all family: eat, drink, and be merry; for tomorrow we die.
In other words, don’t sweat the small stuff, and it’s all small stuff in the grand scheme of things.
Pass the mashed potatoes and Kerrygold butter and stop judging me, bitch.
Why are they bringing up politics? We just don’t talk about it at my family gatherings. Too busy catching up.
Everything is political now though. If you buy the wrong things you’re killing mamma Gaia, or not supporting the troops, or a cuck. The world sucks.
Yes, I did consider an Electric Boogaloo reference, Mr. Falcon.
So you listened to Ringo then…?
In concert…about 25 years ago.

That’s the kind of shit that makes OK with giving up on Star Wars *Looks sadly at life-size R2-D2 and considers selling, drinks another beer instead*
It’s fine, CPRM. We still have the old stuff, and this way we save money.
Someone said The Last Jedi wasn’t the big fight, it was the breakup fight. And I’m OK with it. It belongs to Mouse now, Mouse can go seek new audiences for it.
But, if it makes you feel better, my friend’s kid is watching Rebels, and I’m planning to lobby for your cut of Prequels when it’s time to introduce him to the movies.

Yes, that. That people, if you will.

Man, you people are tough….
I’m not banging on you. I have a decades old hatred of Disney, Spielberg, and everything Star Wars related after the second movie.
Aww…well, I won’t bring over my blu-rays. Or, collectibles.
I remember walking out of the theater after watching the first Star Wars in 1977 and predicting there would be a sequel because Darth Vader got away. I would never have even believed that 40+ years later I would be hearing about the next installment.
Big galaxy–lots of toys to make.
The swastika in that picture is backwards. I am assuming that means it is a Hindu gesture of ecumenicism, not hate.
It could also be a Buddhist temple?
Or dare I say, a hoax?
I mean, video makes a case that it’s not painted from inside the building at least.
A shout out to Mojeaux. you’re in my thoughts and prayers.
For anyone who missed it, near the bottom of Night Links Thread, and please keep her and hers in your prayers.
Thank you – I’d overlooked that.
Love & hugs at you, girlfriend! <3
Shit, hate to see that. Best wishes, Mo.
Thank you, Spud. Thank you everyone. Whatever you all said must have gotten to the right deity’s ears.

So, since my reboot seems to have gone OK, but we’re waiting on performance tests, and I’m bored:
Midway or Ford vs Ferrari, anyone seen either? I want to catch a movie soon, and these seem the top picks, but I’m leery of Hollywood Historee.
Have read that Midway is better than expected. Have no idea by how much.
Someone posted a mini review of Midway near the end of the thread today. Maybe the beer one?
From the Beer One:
I saw Midway and posted the mini review near the end of the beer thread.
If you have any knowledge whatsoever of WWII or actual military operations do not waste your time. (But Woody Harrelson actually played ADM Nimitz surprisingly well.)
So, bad movie, but better than Pearl Harbor?
“You’re my best friend and you fucked my girl, but the goddamn Japs”.
I never watched “Pearl Harbor” but “Midway” is not as bad as the Russia movie about Stalingrad. But it is close.
Dbleagle had a scathing review of Zmidway.
I trust the Eagle. He knows what he’s about, knows Pacific war, and I’ve met him in meat space so he’s real.
In other words I’m not watching it.
Exactly what Dbl’s sock would say.
“Not again! I just got washed!”?
“Eeeew!”
Damn it, who hid a camera in my house?
Let’s see if this cures the old hangover.

Thanks! In case I get busy and/or distracted Monday, I’ll pass along this birthday greeting right now.
‘Two court employees told investigators that they saw Thompson attach the suction device to his penis, while five jurors reported hearing whooshing sounds, which they thought were coming from either a bicycle pump, blood pressure cuff, or an air cushion on the judge’s chair.
After a search of Thompson’s former courtroom and chambers yielded items that tested positive for seminal fluid, investigators secured a search warrant to obtain a DNA sample from the ex-jurist.’
Hey, you can’t fault a guy for having a strictly timed training regiment, and honestly, who among us hasn’t left trace amounts of semen around the workplace?

Sounds like he has some devices, too.
There’s a pretty good book called The Finest Judges Money Can Buy. My dad gave it to me when I was 9. It was my introduction to libertarianism.
Too tired to give the full story, but when I was younger I had a possession case dropped because it came to light that the presiding judge had been drunk on the job for years.
I’m gonna throw the book at you and make it stick.
Meh, not as good as Winston’s mom.

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/nearly-80000-approved-for-daca-have-arrest-records-uscis-report-finds
***
The report finds that of the nearly 889,000 applicants for the DACA program, 110,000 had arrest records. Of the more than 765,000 approved for DACA, 79,398 had arrest records. Of that number, 67,861 were arrested before their most recent DACA approval, while 15,903 were arrested after their most recent approval.
The offenses incurred by DACA requestors who were arrested before their most recent approval include battery (3,421), assault (3,308), burglary, breaking and entering (1,471), rape (62), murder (15) and theft or larceny (7,926). The largest population arrested were suspected of driving-related offenses excluding DUIs (23,305) and immigration-related offenses (12,968.)

Would be interesting for a more detailed explanation of immigration related offenses. I’m assuming it’s not just here in this country illegally.

Hangings. Subtle? No. Empathetic? Goodness, no. But I’m starting to think the message isn’t for the perpetrators, it’s for the enablers. It’s just that we’ve never degenerated so far that you’d need to worry about enabling degeneracy.
And the sooner y’all get working on those scaffolds and those nooses, the better.
I’ll be over here morally absolving myself of crimes against humanity.
Apropos of nothing but scaffolds and nooses.
Glad to see you. Q was looking for you in the previous post’s comments. Hope all’s well.
I embarrass myself by posting here among you good folk. Sometimes, I humiliate myself. Last night was humiliating. I’m sorry for that.
(Been playing a lot of Witcher 3 today, so pardon the parlance)
Embarrassed? What is this alien emotion?
I understand, but you have no real reason to feel humiliated, nor to apologize. I’d be willing to bet most of us have been there at some point. (I know I have.)

I’ve stayed up kinda hoping Mojeaux might check in, but my next yawn may split my skull in twain. I’m going to bed. Thank you for having us, Diggy, and nighty night all!
‘Night!
Thank you all for your well wishes. They were felt and very appreciated.
We are home from the hospital. I will spare you the drama that got us there, but my son will be in intensive therapy for the next year. They did not have enough to admit him. I will say this: I do not now believe it was a wild hare that led me to sell my guns today.
@Trigger Hippie re my daughter and our inkling that she might have fibromyalgia, and your suggestion about shrooms. We have actually discussed the possibility of CBD oil. We haven’t had time to research much yet. Mr. Mojeaux’s fibro friend swears by it. Even if it’s just migraines with a constellation of symptoms surrounding them, we think the CBD oil will help. She is 16, much taller than me, and weighs about as much as I do, but carries it much, much better than I do.
@Tulip
That is very interesting. I’ll research that, thank you!
@Jarflax So I didn’t take 4 Tylenol PM tonight. I just took Benadryl. Let’s see if that knocks me out.
Lastly, beef tongue IS delicious. Nice and chewy like chicken gizzards.
It is good to hear that your crises is resolving itself. Best wishes to you and your clan.
Thank you so much for updating us. There’s little to nothing we can do, but we care. So grateful you took the time.
Didn’t sound good whatever happened. Hope all works out.
Yes, much support for your crisis, Mo.
Best of luck, and best wishes. Drop by Discord if you need to chat with people, there’s always someone there.
Pan–can you give out a link for the discord channel? I seem to have lost it in my account, and can never get it to take on all platforms.
If not, not a prob.
link = code
The password is Podesta. Does that help?
It’s journolist, isn’t it?
Mojeaux I’m glad you’re back and everyone is alive. Your description sounds ominous. I hope things go well for you and your family.
