It's the same thing every fucking time. Nobody is requiring you to order the plant-based sausage at Cracker Barrel if you don't want it. But the mere idea that another option exists drives these chuds up the fucking wall.

Old Soviet joke for today: A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves. After a long time of this, the owner says āCan I help you find something?ā āIām looking for the obituaries.ā āThe obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.ā āNot the one Iām looking for.ā
Tom Holt picked "K. J. Parker" as his pseudonym because Parker is literally a pen name.
It's the same drive to destroy rather than share that got a bunch of municipal swimming pools filled in with cement rather than desegregate them. White people in power, by and large, just suck.

This has been a really valuable thing to tell AI boosters (and people who don't know about it). "Drive-thru fast food guy" is a job that's been a cultural punchline for decades. Supposedly a trained monkey could do it. WAY too tough for AI to handle.
In America we have city cops, different cops for your county, cops for the whole state, cops for soldiers, cops for malls, presidential cops, cops for the stock market, mail cops, federal cops, cops we secretly send to other countries. Even your neighbors get to pretend to be cops. Weāre very safe
this site is bad! it's going to fail! its user base has plateaued! it's not making any money! nobody here is smart except for me! everybody here is stupid! nobody is having any good discussions! i don't like being here! ok that's it for now. be back in 90 minutes
Benicio del Toro is just amazing in it. And it has to have been *decades* since Tom Hanks was fifth-billed in anything.
:immediately eats a suicide capsule:
K. J. Parker chose that last name because it's a literal pen name. www.parkerpen.com
The original GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO sorta did this, and I thought it was hilariously accurate.
Post a random picture, or else everything will go bad in September.
Thing I love about "Born to Raise Hell" by Motorhead: In the chorus, they sing "And we do it real well". The most grammatically correct metal track of all time? POSSIBLY.
Help yourself to a hand grenade.
"Taking Possession" might be available as a title.
Contempt away! I shall join you.
But to the MAGA chuds, "identity politics" are something that other people do. Their identies as white supremacist christofascists is just considered "normal" to 'em. Remember all the people on oxygen tanks and mobility scooters at Palin rallies demanding spending cuts? Same kind of thing.
I'd like to see VFX artists in a union. All of them.
The MAGA chuds think it's rude and immoral to cut family members off because they're the ones getting cut off by their kids / grandkids. Tough shit. Same people think it's God's will to throw a gay child out of the house.
Fox News is not an effective tool because itās doing fearless high quality journalism that speaks truth to power. It wins elections for republicans because itās a highly partisan organization filled with shameless hacks
Yelling "TELSTAR!" at a Ventures show and one of the guitarists saying "Okay, we had one person ask for this song..." before they played it. Obviously it was always on the set list, but I'll take the shout-out that I can get.
Thirty years ago (!) I had the half-baked theory that school shooters were extroverted suicides. They were not planning to make it out alive, and wanted to do as much damage as they could before either killing themselves or being killed by cops.
He stops after 58 minutes so they have time to make out the check before he leaves, doesn't he?
GOOD. Thank you.
PLEASE tell me it's true he snuck into a church to try and play "Yes, We Have No Bananas" on the organ but couldn't figure out how to get it working.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0if... My favorite jam before I heard "Telstar" made silly but still awesome.
Speaking as someone born and raised in the bible college town western suburb of Chicago: You are 10,000 percent correct.

Are men reading books for attention?
I wouldn't want to be within five tables of him at any restaurant where you can't see the chefs and waiters 100% of the time. the sheer amount of feces and spit he's consumed over the course of his life could probably build another Sean Hannity.
He did* his own** research***. *Nodded **While watching a YouTube video ***Made by a Nazi
The Daily Heil DEFINITELY has an agenda here.
Are men reading books for attention?
What the Christ are the democrats "getting" now? What percentage of what they claim to want are they getting now? What are they achieving now? What are they doing to stop things now? I'm sure you have some snide dismissal ready to support the opposition party that is not actually opposing anything.
I feel that I am being threatened with a good time.
Yes, the useless bunch of geriatric inside traders that are leading the dems right now HAVE to go. They have failed to meet the moment for a decade. They are useless and need to be replaced. I don't know how else to explain it to you.
Someone else pointed out that hi-vis over camo is like an Idiocracy gag made real.
Oh. Gosh. That would be just terrible.
I have mustard my courage to give this an upvote.
A thing to know: Typically, you need a grand jury to charge a felony, but not a misdemeanor. Which means that when you read that prosecutors "failed to get a felony indictment, and will charge as a misdemeanor," what it's saying is "the grand jury refused to bring charges."
If you do it twice, it's a tradition. Damn it.
I know I mentioned Dawn of the Dead yesterday because we were talking about The Wrath of Becky, which was NOT a sequel that did the same movie but more of it. The Road Warrior and Dawn of the Dead operate in that mode, and they're all-timers.
Wrapped up the HubrisWeen 2025 taping with @sadhbhgirl.bsky.social yesterday. Looking forward to the final results, because I can't remember a Goddamned thing I said in the previous 22 episodes.
youtu.be/gShKgGs-Jbw?... This song gets more relevant all the time. DEVO was right about everything
Make sure to do nothing in opposition to those dictatorial moves. Also make sure to send out another fucking fund-raiser email.
And he wants them dead and beached on the shore so he can carry seventy-five pounds of rotting meat to his car!
Modem screech!
Going to be wild to have Clarence Thomas and other members of the court write that even the appearance of impropriety is sufficient to allow the President to remove Federal Reserve members from office, and then head off to Harlan Crowās yacht
Whatever you do, Dems, absolutely be sure to run away from someone who is articulating things clearly and understandably. You want to send out more fundraising emails. People LOVE the fundraising emails.
Well, Mike Pence believed that JHVH personally wanted him to sit in the big chair. So far that has not happened.
Snoop Dogg says heās āscared to go to the moviesā after seeing the 1896 French film 'L'arrivĆ©e d'un train en gare de La Ciotat' about a train pulling into a station.
I've seen speculation that he sees himself as the 2028 front-runner. I'd rather peel my skin off with my fingernails than listen to him talk (and I can't be the only one), so he's got kind of an uphill battle to the nomination.
"Let the Ants Try", a short story by Frederik Pohl. The ants are mutated by radiation exposure and develop lungs instead of breathing through their skin. The square-cube law is directly mentioned in the story if I remember right. And it ends REALLY BADLY for the two humans in the cast.
Why would someone who was immediately transferred to a country club prison lie?
Interviewer: Why shouldnāt President Trump send the military to occupy your city? Big Important Democrat: I support and love the Police I really want to kiss the Police
I didn't pick the Truth or Dare?: A Critical Madness life. It picked me.
I'll bet you haven't bought the Truth or Dare?: A Critical Madness box set with all the sequels yet. Get on that.
Book one has pastiches of famous writers in a superhero universe: Tom Wolfe writes about an ace dinner party for Esquire (some of the guests fly up to the 20th floor balcony). And the slum full of deformed virus sufferers? Hunter Thompson does "Fear and Loathing in Jokertown" for Rolling Stone.
The series has gone through four (?) publishers over its nearly 40 year lifespan, including one ebook publisher that went out of business the same week their Wild Cards ink-and-paper hardcover came out. Tor is reprinting everything now so that people don't get stuck paying extortionate prices again.
If you haven't read the Wild Cards series yet, the first book (of about 36 or 37 now) is astonishingly good. 40 years of alternate history after an alien virus hits Manhattan and kills thousands. Nine out of ten survivors get deformed, and the one lucky SOB left over gets superpowers.
As always, I have to be That Guy(TM) and remind people that every single Song of Ice and Fire book has come out since the last War Against the Chtorr novel was published. We'll get it or we won't. Re-read the extant ones, or don't. It is nothing any of us have any influence over.
Ten out of ten marks for astroTERFing. And yeah, nobody to the left of Hitler likes Newsom because he is scum, so paying people to make him look popular is the only way forward for him.
Green Dot Stables, about a mile away on Lafayette, is a great lunch spot as well.
You should be mad about the FBI raiding John Boltonās house not because you love John Bolton but because youāre opposed to Trump using the FBI to intimidate his critics
How out-of-control is my to be read pile? I haven't yet started the Joe Meek biography that came out in June.
RT if you also wish ill upon JK Rowling.
ONE MORE TIME FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE CHEAP SEATS WHO ARE CONVINCED THEY'RE NEVER GETTING SENT TO A DEATH CAMP
First one that came to mind was "What ABOUT the valley lodge?!"
Didn't a whole bunch of MAGA dipshits get big mad at 'em for offering plant-based bacon and sausage a couple years back? It's not enough to cater endlessly to them and tell they're God's special little boys 24/7. The mere existence of an option they'll never personally use infuriates them.
Heartbroken to hear James Dobson has died age 89. It should have been a lot sooner
Funny that James Dobson was so pro life and yet he died. Really makes you think.
Found a clip. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HbTi...
...Is this the first time you've come across what white evangelical christians think? The entire group has always been a white supremacist political movement pretending to be a religion.
Yeah, sure, the 80 year old with horrifically swollen legs and open dementia symptoms is "going out on patrol". In a Humvee golf cart?
Well, all the bees are driving now. You couldn't wipe out an alien battlecruiser on one because the bees hate all the smog out there.
Didn't the completely indestructible alien battlecruiser wipe out after flying into a bee? I kinda remember that sight gag.
Just got it on Tuesday. One story in so far (my TBR pile is out of control) but really looking forward to more.
Not all heroes wear capes.
White woman puts Mexican flag on her truck to waste ICEās time.
Inshallah.
James Dobson, founder of Focus on the Family and one of the most influential voices in the conservative evangelical movement, has died at age 89
I prefer to think that he knew the entire time. Decades of miserable anticipation are about to pay off!
The good die young.
I've got a friend who refers to the chain as Bigot Bucket.
The republicans started claiming they were in a completely different party and yelling about how the Black president was being secretly mind-controlled by Kenyan ghost voodoo. There never was a Tea Party. There were just republicans desperate to wash the stink of George W. Bush's failure off.
The Monkey is a feature-length sick joke with an AMAZING final shot.
The equivalent of those Nigerian Price scam emails being riddled with typos and grammatical errors. They want the dumbest motherfuckers available responding to 'em, and the typos weed out people who know how to read and spell.
Hey, Telstar has a cameo on this cover! It's yelling a question, so it's still a communications device even if the orbit is about 10 or 12 feet off the ground.
(Am I remembering that I wasn't a complete jackwagon on the Warren Ellis Forum 20+ years ago? YUP.)
BOOM.
In my case, an active boycott. I haven't bought anything at a Target for several months now. It does not appear that I'm the only one.
Go fash, lose cash.
...Which movie?
