So yes, Dok just accidentally posted himself and five minutes later I accidentally posted Robyn. Both posts have been unpublished and will be posted again in an hour and two hours. I don't know what the fuck is up today.

The RAF always blamed the Gremlins. There is a cool Warner Brothers cartoon about them.

It's all good in the neighborhood! Just part of the toll of being human!

Perhaps Loomis was about to post a Tim Curry obit and Substack had an anaphylactic reaction . . .

Nonononono…. Who ELSE do we know who just turned 80? C’mon Hades you had one job. ONE JOB!

paul's avatar

I know of someone over 80 we haven't seen proof of life for a few months...

James's avatar

Yeah, and he’s still getting paid. I want a job where I just don’t go and still get paid. Like the guy in Office Space.

I've got a flagon with the dragon, so just a quick sip and ... urk.....

The pellet with the poison is in the chalice from the palace, but the vessel with the pestle has the brew that is true!

It's the "sub" in Substack.

Tim Curry’s death probably has us all discombobulated.

I see he died yesterday - alas

Too damned entirely accurate, beloved comrade.

We’ll start the day over tomorrow. It’ll be better.

EyeQueue's avatar

Bring those Hatch chilis!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ETA: I'll bring the mead my partner is making.

Tia Loca's avatar

Oh, these smell so good!

They’re still steaming right now so I can peel the char off!

I think most of them are going to be for tamales!

And I’ll dehydrate some of them too!

Tia Loca's avatar

My favorite one is a corn and cheese tamale with a strip of the hatched chili down the middle of it!

So much Yum and a little package!

SAMushrush's avatar

I think we are all off-balance today. Please allow yourselves some grace.

Queen Méabh's avatar

Maybe you're upset about Dolly Parton and Tim Curry dying. I know I am.

Dear God,

Yeah, and almost as bad is they’re the WRONG eighty year olds!

Devastated.

It's all dark inside.

I'm upset about both deaths.

It's OK! Shit happens. XD

It was totally the spy version of the Trucoat scene from Fargo- "You going to the Gophers on Sunday Vlad?"

There's only one possible reason Ratcliffe went to moscow, as far as I'm concerned. He told the FSB people what Trump needed and what Kash Patel would be coming to work out in detail later this fall. He described how to disrupt the elections and probably how to hack the machines or, of course, staying a terrorist attack. That's my take.

ronicalit's avatar

My spidey sense went off last week when trumps ballroom designer went to Russia for cultural visit….please 🙄

Menotsure's avatar

This visit happened while NATO is engaged in a force buildup along the eastern borders of the alliance. The US is participating. Is something up with Russia?

Warren's avatar

Maybe closed door briefings by Director Ratcliffe to the Senate and House Intell committees? He’d probably lie, but if you know someone is lying, it is easier to try and trap them.

Dare we hope the most important issue of our time maybe solved. I of course am talking about resuming the supply of Sovtek vacuum tubes

My money is on the Reichstag fire/Gulf of Tonkin/Weapons of Mass Destruction scenario...

"Raise your hand if you can see the Trump regime allowing a terrorist attack to happen on American soil, one that they can immediately blame on undocumented immigrants or pro-Palestine protesters, something that would give Donald Trump that pretext he needs to declare a national emergency and try to cancel the elections?"

Ah-yup. I saw that coming from 2 years ago. It's going to happen. Anyone who thinks some shit isn't going to go down is delusional. I WANT to be surprised that is does NOT.

I do expect, however, that this administration is just so totally... grossly... incompetent... ignorant... naive... stupid... retar... (I'll stop there) that ANY thing that is going to happen will be so catastrophically telegraphed that there will be no doubt that the genesis came from President Diaper Rash and his lackeys, and some... traffic cop will step in and stop him.

There was a series out in 2019 called "Years and Years" (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8694364/?ref_=nm_flmg_job_1_accord_2_cdt_t_26), that featured the up and coming GAY actor Russel Tovey. I was looking forward to seeing my favorite "It!" boy, but the premise just... totally set me on edge. The main plot started with a mentally impaired "President Trump" starting a nuclear war with China, complete with the CGI bombs blasting over Hong Kong. I stopped watching it right after that. It just hit WAY too close to the home we were living in under Trump 1.0, and I breathed a GIANT sigh of relieve when Joe got control of the reins.

The ONE fear I have is that SCROTUS 2.0 once again his fat, degenerate finger on the nuclear arsenal, and no guard rails to tell him "No". I expect some "after the fact" excuse to use them, not "on China", but on Iran. I expect him to do... SOMETHING... of that magnitude before the November elections so he can declare "National Emergency!". In his syphilitic, withering brain, that is all he believes he has left to escape any conviction from the Epstein files.

Or the fucker can die. Soon. Please, dear God... you took Dolly and Dr. Frank-n-furter from us, please take that colossal piece of crap! Just once, answer our prayers!

Ill-Advised's avatar

I claim he won't do it until "his" bunker is built and then he'll retreat to it. Sadly, substandard construction and stiffed contractors mean he'll die in it with the rest of us.

Maybe they'll tear down the West Wing and blame it on Democrats/Communists.

The Covfefes ASAP!'s avatar

Apropos of nothing, Candace Owens and her husband also travelled to Russia in June. She swears it's the best country on earth. So, there you go.

Also, I don't see how they can make a terrorist attack look like it was done by Latinos. I think the mystery terrorist will be the socialists that they are so afraid of.

Nicole Koretsky's avatar

I wondered the same when I read it was our DCI on that Globemaster.

The Moscow bombing was the new Rheichstag Fire, until whatever this administration pulls, and it will be called something stupid by the press, I'm sure, as they toil to explain it as anything BUT criminal election interference. SCOTUS will rule that the Gropenfuhrer is God Almighty, etc.

The only hope I'm holding on to is that this administration is such a ship of fools, they'll bungle the attempt so obviously, and that people will vote in such numbers, etc, that they won't succeed. It's a facile comment really, but JFC.

Told this story before but when I was flying back from Spain to Chicago we went right over the tip of Greenland and while enjoying the view I couldn’t help thinking that Trump would absolutely shoot down this plane with a missile if he could make it look like Chinese/Russian troops were near Greenland and were a threat as a pretext to invade Greenland.

Any other administration, including even Trump term 1 I wouldn’t have considered it. But with Trump 2 all bets are off. This guy would nuke a US city to stay in power.

Trux Mint In Box's avatar

On the other hand if it is some fake attack the Trump administration is very unlikely to pull it off without it being a complete clownshow

How depressing that the most insane conspiracy theories I can come up with all sound plausible in the current circumstance.
