Ahhhahahahahah! Miss Jackson!

Teamsters President Sean O'Brien is a sucker. He spoke at the RNC to a bunch of snakes with an established anti-union voting history, and didn’t get to speak at the DNC, which has been generally pro-union. Now this:

Teamsters union declines to endorse in presidential election, breaking decades of precedent

Good luck with the GOP, dumbass.

I can’t decide if iOS 18 is going to help kids learn algebra, or make it easier to NOT learn algebra.

Headline: Hezbollah vows to punish Israel after pager explosions across Lebanon

Pagers? These dumbasses were carrying pagers with explosive charges around? I mean with phones anymore, trying to open them up for service is a bitch, but pagers? Grab a Phillips head screwdriver and see what’s in there.

Nah- waitaminute, it’s Hezbollah.

“Now even though I would LOVE to think of Kris, one of the original Outlaws, giving the business to Toby Keith and his atomic mullet, since the story ran, both Toby and Kristofferson have come out and said the incident just did not happen”

“Kristofferson took a deep inhale and leaned against the wall, still vibrating with adrenaline. He looked over at Willie as if to say, “Don’t say a word.” Then his eyes found me. “You know what Waylon Jennings said about guys like him?” he whispered.

I shook my head.

“They’re doin’ to country music what pantyhose did to finger-fuckin’.”

“You ever worn your country’s uniform?” Kris asked rhetorically.

“What?”

“Don’t ‘What?’ me, boy! You heard the question. You just don’t like the answer.” He paused just long enough to get a full chest of air. “I asked, ‘Have you ever served your country?’ The answer is, no, you have not. Have you ever killed another man? Huh? Have you ever taken another man’s life and then cashed the check your country gave you for doing it? No, you have not. So shut the fuck up!” I could feel his body pulsing with anger next to me. “You don’t know what the hell you are talking about!”

“Whatever,” the young Star muttered.”

““Happy birthday,” the Star said to Willie, breezing by us. As he passed Kristofferson in one long, confident stride, out of the corner of his mouth came “None of that lefty shit out there tonight, Kris.”

“What the fuck did you just say to me?” Kris growled, stepping forward.

“You heard me,” the Star said, walking away in the darkness.

“Don’t turn your back to me, boy,” Kristofferson shouted, not giving a shit that basically the entire music industry seemed to be flanking him.”

“This all started when THIS ARTICLE was published in The Rolling Stone about Kris Kristofferson, written by actor Ethan Hawke.

The article starts off by describing a scene between Kristofferson and a “young country star” that Hawke doesn’t have the rocks to name as Toby Keith, at Willie Nelson’s 70th birthday party in 2003:

“Up from the basement came one of country music’s brightest stars (who shall remain nameless). At that moment in time, the Star had a monster radio hit about bombing America’s enemies back into the Stone Age.”

I need one of these for orange/yellow and yellow/green.

It says “no soliciting” on the wall approaching the door, and again on the door itself, and yet they still knock.

“But, in truth, I have wept too much! Dawns are heartbreaking.
Every moon is atrocious and every sun bitter.
Acrid love has swollen me with intoxicating torpor
O let my keel burst! O let me go into the sea!”

Fuck Boeing. They don’t pay shit in taxes, and always seem to have vulgar amounts of cash for the executive team that fucks up at every turn. Stick it to the rat fuckers, IAM.

The next time Dumpy brings up that idiotic “Person, woman, man, camera, TV” alleged cognitive test bullshit, we should all just fuck with him and say “no no- the song goes ‘plants and birds and rocks and things’”

I’d trim many of these wires to length, but I goddamn hate JST connectors.

“The Northwest Seaport Alliance has a strong security program in place and has undertaken penetration and threat assessments on crane operations prior to the commissioning of the Select Committee’s study,”

…and yet

“The Select Committee began investigating the matter in 2023 after The Wall Street Journal first reported that modems and other electronic equipment installed in the cranes, ostensibly for monitoring performance, could also be used to hack into the crane’s operating systems and monitor cargo, including military equipment.”

Chinese cranes at Tacoma, other ports, are potential espionage risks, investigation finds

What happens when you have two words come to mind and you can’t seem to commit to one:

Pharmacist- if you have a moment, we can fill these additional two prescriptions that just came in

Me (in my mind- “perfect” or “fine”)

What I actually said: “Pine!”

Normally I try to avoid saying unkind things about appearances without serious justification (like as a rebuttal in kind, or to refute hypocrisy, etc.) and in the case of Laura Loomer I think those kinds of justifications are well established. So with that disclaimer, I say this:

If you ever have hiccups and need a startle, look at her.
