This installation is badass and makes no sense.

"evoking the masses of faceless migrants who underpin our globalized economy"



I wonder how many people eat that up.

This is good, but the best part has to be Alec Baldwin's response.

Damn, Alec, that "try" 

Welcome back old spags!

It does mildly amuse me that while most religions have fair weather believers, we have foul weather ones.

Did I mention the wedding I went to over the summer had an owl in it?

The idea was for the owl to fly over with the wedding ring.  In every single rehearsal, this is exactly what it did.

On the day, it did a 90 degree turn away from where it was supposed to go and at full speed faceplanted itself into a window, before falling on the floor behind the seat of the person two rows in front of me.  Because both the bride and the groom and half their friends are vets, we then had a mad crush of people trying to treat the owl, tripping over their dresses or the seats in the rush.

A bear would've been a better option.

The Protocols are required reading, Roger old boy. There is no more prophetic and insightful document if you want to understand the hidden forces and agendas that shape our world. In my experience, every jew of any influence is using it as a de facto playbook -- they being, wittingly or unwittingly, agents of the Dajjal and his program of total world subversion, inversion and perversion.

You only hate the Jews, because you arent on their level. Only when you become the Jew will you understand.

Okay I have to admit, "Pumpkin spice traditionalism" is pretty funny.   

I'm a little late but is anyone else on the Darkest Dungeon train?

I got to the second sub-boss, the Seer, slowly ticking him down with DoTs while my meleers hacked through his protective rows. He's down to the last few hits, but then wipes three of my party members and leaves my Hellion on Death's Door with a debuff. He's two hits away but without healing she won't make it. Fuck it, I hit him with the glaive, have a freak crit and kill him. I practically jump for joy, then I remember those other three party members are permadead and there's no save scumming to try for a better result.

For her success, I rewarded my Hellion with a week of flagellation to reduce stress. Luckily I think I can dive right back in because my Crusader just got his syphilis cured.

The ups and downs are very Dark Souls.

I am highly amused that this popped in and out of my FB feed VERRRRY quickly.

Thanks a lot, algorithms!

The next one is on Trump and the whole idea of "just do it more" when discussing fighting an asymmetrical war.

THAT is a pretty interesting premise. I'm looking forward to more.

[WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW WHAT IT IS?]

Hope it was a good one, Roger.

Today, it's my turn.  I bet you ungrateful bastards didn't even get me anything.

I GOT YOU SOMETHING

WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW WHAT IT IS?




would you

Today marks 48 years that I have been stuck on this mudball.

Happy arrival on this mudball day.

 

I once found a note I'd written without any recollection of it that said "The clock that is stopped is not broken; it has arrived."

OK then.

We are incurably diseased. Most here are malformed and disturbingly subnormal. We're almost exclusively mentally deficient in some way and we laugh about it. About everything.

And it's quite catching. You're probably already riddled and there is no cure.

Sleep well. Eoc is watching you so he'll let us know if you do.

I. I've F5'd a million times.. I.. might. What are the symptoms??
WHOSE EOC?

Well I'm sort of everyone's EoC. It's like asking whose Ebola.

It's a terrible thing when you have to explain your references.

Take today for instance. My wife's had a bit of pain resulting in an overnight stay in hospital. Pain coming in waves, bit of a shit, times when she can talk and laugh and times when she.... can't. All resolvable and should be fine in less than 24 hours. Good stuff modern medicine.

So suggesting that if the current treatment doesn't work, we can always look at the "Old Yeller" option didn't exactly get the response I expected from the 20-ish and late 40's-ish nurses.

"Old Yeller?"
"What's that?"
"Err... You know, the film?"
"Never heard of it"
"What?"
"Pretty famous film, a kid and his dog..."
"Is it new?"
"I've got a dog, let me find my phone"
"...and the dog gets rabies....."
"Oh no!"
"My dog's got a disorder too"
"...What? No, the kid, you know, shoots it"
"WHAT"
"OH MY GOD"
"WHAT"
" (Untranslatable gibbering)"
"WHAT"
".... It's a pretty famous film"
"GET OUT"
"(Still indecipherable)"

In my defence I really don't think this is an obscure reference.

Man you brits really take right to die seriously.

While that is good news, I still believe I'll be voting No to expand Charters.

Even if it passes the total amount of them cannot exceed 1% that of other public schools, which is not a high enough percentage to enact meaningful education reform even for underperforming districts. Ideally, a No vote could signal lawmakers that a significant investment is needed in public schools, rather than a series of charter bandages.

And while I realize this is significantly less solid basis than an actual study, I have a shit ton of teacher friends and they are all voting against it as well.

[Excellent work that two legged Komodo.]

For the first time in 5 years, I have my whole family together again. 

Excellent work that two legged Komodo.

Why don't you offer to show them what you've learned in the kitchen over the past few weeks?

Junkie I seriously admire your dedication.
