I'm afraid of rodents, not limited to Rodents Of Unusual Size. This fear is so irrational that my kid thinks it's hilarious but sad and Partner dutifully and quietly disposes of any dead ones found near my abode.
I do not know where this fear began, but it's been with me all my life. Unless I partake of some hallucinogenic substance and explore this fear safely, I doubt I'll ever be rid of it. I grew up with hamsters, a gift mouse (named Peter Gabriel and given away to a sweet girl to take care of it), gerbils, guinea pigs, and other people's rats, mice, and live snake food for their pet snakes. I never helped to feed a snake. I never held the little guys. I never saw the move "Ben" or any other movies featuring rats attacking people. I plan to be cremated or given back to the planet in a helpful way, and I hope someone finds my corpse in time. Thanks for listening to my dead talk.
Love the "threshold of restarting major combat operations." It's a phrase manufactured to sound like legalese applying a rational standard, but it's not. It's made-up to pretend we're not currently in a war that we started (what was the "threshold" for that?) and are losing.
I've said many times that few people will work as hard against a cult as ex-cult members who see how badly they've been burned. Sure, MTG is still a terrible person who hasn't apologized for much of the terrible things she's said and done, but there is a special motivation at work.
Considering she is speaking at a Ron Paul event...she is performing for another audience...she's as bad as orange shitler, she just hasn't had as many years as a con as he has, yet. When she says that the Rethugs have all 3 branches of government and "haven't done anything that they promised" I'm pretty damn sure the promised trampling of all of our rights, and expulsion of anyone brown, and destruction of our environmental laws, bulldozing of all the sacred environmentally sensitive sites, destruction of our old growth forests, destruction of humane laws for farm animals and companion animals, destruction of our national park system, making it illegal to have an abortion, taking away the voting rights of anyone not white and male...I mean most of that is already done or on the way...maybe she's pissed the SAVE act hasn't passed yet so women won't be able to vote anymore unless they have the money to jump through all the hoops...but she is a snake, and a con, and she'll bite whatever hand she can to get her 10 more seconds.
I do not trust her but she can spill all the tea she likes. IF she actually apologized for some of the BS she has done I might give her a TINY bit of credit but not enough for me to forgive her. She's just angry at Trump and that is not enough.
A kind of technical thing I always noticed about Alex Jones (and Rush Limbaugh before him) when I'd tune around the AM and shortwave dials.
Jones's irritating gravel voiced shouting is the perfect voice for AM radio or shortwave. With the very highly limited bandwidth and random static and fading of AM and shortwave, Jones's voice cuts through and resonates perfectly for that medium, just like Rush Limbaugh and countless evangelical preachers on AM and shortwave before him.
It's no wonder weird chuds get hooked on this and why Jones was a mainstay on AM radio and shortwave. It comes off like some spirit voice out of your radio speaker. Hearing Jones (or Rush or evangelical ministers) on streaming in hi-fi really doesn't capture that weird kind of "beyond the grave" quality you get when you hear it on AM or shortwave.
I guess my plan to retire to New Orleans requires a rethink. Not that we weren’t thinking there was a good chance the city would be unliveable sometime in the next thirty years.
Good morning. The news about New Orleans is sad. Not unexpected but really sad. I haven't been and I always wanted to go see the old cemeteries. Ever since I read 'interview with a vampire".
Back in '74 my GF and I had a pleasant tour of a N.O. cemetary. Lots of fun and soon he started to troll us for donations. We were sorta expecting it but was a real hoot when he did it. He referred to himself as "BUDDY"! BUDDY might be a resident there by now!
That New Orleans piece is depressing. Southern Louisiana has been fucked by oil companies, by climate change, and by its own governor. There has been a plan to divert sediment from the Mississippi so coastal lands to rebuild. Landry nixed that, of course.
I am so happy Tim Heidecker is back! His Alex Jones persona is hilarious! I have watched his old stuff over and over. He and Eric were insane and I love every minute of there bits. So tickled to see him again! 🤣

Argentina? Looks Australian. The accent.
I thought I wanted one, until I read about all the urine marking.
Yeah if my girl peed in my face, that definitely says uninterested.
But infowars can now make it into gold!
IDK I hear there are guys who enjoy that.
Capabuns!
At first I thought Chernobyl rabbits.
Don’t let Donald know about these creatures, he’ll want some. For all the peeing. Peeing camels, he’ll call them.
I thought it was a burrobunny.
With all the peeing going on, these Maras could fill a lago.
Hmmm.
What about the gold content?
(chortles) Fuzzy watersports fetishists.
IK, R?!!
(still giggling)
Cute little critters.
Suppose they gave a war and nobody recognized it?

Per the New Orleans item: Canadian rockers Tragically Hip had the definitive predictive musical thesis about this back in '89.
Yer complimentary earworm, "New Orleans is Sinking", best turned to 11. Rock on Wonkers!

Heidecker's Alex Jones impression is eerily good.

“Christian Zionists” vs. “Christian Nationalists” like “far-right podcaster Nick Fuentes.”
Can we please just call the Nazis Nazis?

IK, R? I wish people would just tell the unvarnished truth.
That New Orleans piece is depressing. Southern Louisiana has been fucked by oil companies, by climate change, and by its own governor. There has been a plan to divert sediment from the Mississippi so coastal lands to rebuild. Landry nixed that, of course.
AND their governor continues to fuck them through redistricting. Most people don't have the money to leave and will end up drowning.
A younger gray squrrill is having a morning meal at bird feeder.

Who of us *doesn't* go to a local ankle dentist when in need?
My local dipshit representative is seeking an ass hole from elbow specialist!
They're out of the office, performing an urgent shit from Shine-Ola procedure.
Here's your Met Gala WTF in fashion: (I get it that "costume" was a theme, but still....wtf Beyonce?
Anne Hathaway, Nicole Kidman, and Alysa Liu (darling!) have the elegance look, most of the rest....oh my....
Cher looks great and actually has clothes on, Stevie Nix looks like Stevie Nix ,Madonna is going to a funeral...
Olivia Wilde-dahling...unless you are throwing shade at Kim Kardashian, that bustle belongs under the dress!
Tits and ass for everyone!
