Honestly, the phrase "gay MAGA Republican" makes my eyelid twitch so much that I can't fathom that level of cognitive dissonance

This is where we're at... the slow reveal that isn't enough.

"Toggle-locked", you say? Tell me more! Removing the stock is very similar to the M1 Carbine; with more screws. Well. Prototypes. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nuXp...

...Sorry, sorry; but I couldn't ignore this photo. "You know, I love motorcycles; especially Harleys. They're American made, by the way. I love to ride mine. I was riding it just like this when another biker; a big, burly, bearded man, with lots of tats, wearing a leather vest, you know..."

"When they overrun the defences A minor invasion put down to expenses Will you go down to the airport lounge Will you accept your second class status A nation of waitresses and waiters Will you mix their martinis Will you stand still for it Or will you take to the hills" 1/3

This asshole and his masked goon either have noooo idea what the difference between a judicial and administrative warrant is; or have been told to ignore all that shit and get down to some good ol' gestapo shit. Six to one, half a dozen to another. Tomato, tomato. Either/or.

Spoopy Month Movie for Oct. 3! Actually saw this one in theaters when I was 18.

Seen in Wendy’s during lunch… tee hee, no one tell him 🤡

October 2nd, so here's the second spoopy month movie! ...although I haven't seen either of these, and I'm sure they're bad; but sometimes bad horror flicks are what you need. Grab your can of spinach!

Elong is sooooo edgy that he thinks graffiti from the 90's is cutting-edge cyberpunk. Except he forgot what message cyberpunk was trying to tell us. Or thinks he can co-opt it. Hack the planet!!!

Poor Yogi Bear; he got the bejeezus scared out of him ejecting from a B-58 (around 20:40) www.youtube.com/watch?v=GpE6...

...as opposed to what Trump and Gaetz think of when they hear Young...

Hey, AT&T fiber to the home customers; opinions? It's just now available to my house and they're promoting heavily. 1gig down/up is better than 1gig down/40meg up.

This is every no-nuts cop I ever met who ran their mouths about how tough they are but were always last on the scene to anything except lunch

One horror movie a day for Spoopy Month... for Oct. 1: "Weapons"

Aaaaaah, S'Barros... the one word joke I ate a lot of mall food court S'Barros pizza; and *always* had to find the mall court bathroom 20 minutes later to take a greasy, uncontrolled shit www.youtube.com/watch?v=6UVO...

Everyone's gotta bend the knee or else. ...y'all realize how many pharmaceuticals are manufactured in Puerto Rico (which shouldn't count as a tariff, but Trump's too dumb or racist to realize that) and Ireland and Belgium? It's... a LOT, TBH; and not just human pharma.

LOL; if only

FFS. Trump nodding like his head like he's in the here and now at this moment (he's way more in la-la land than Reagan, fuck his soul, ever was) and RFK Jr's head is just on auto-nod, like *he* understands these words and things. *spits through clenched teeth*

Watching the aforementioned elevator service people modernizing one building's elevators in advance of a renovation, I've gotten more curious about the mechanisms... as someone who rides a loooot of elevators every day (and has been to cons), elevator logic also interest me This video is mechanics

For the last few years I've watched shit escalate with my jaw on the floor; but when I look around at the folks I work with they're nonchalant. More and more folks will get pissed as time goes on; but it's kind of shattering to realize how many people will just sit on the sidelines.

Starting to wonder about these elevator guys…

This is gonna mark me solidly as a GenXer; but I loved Blur, loved Tank Girl, and... loved Gorillaz www.youtube.com/watch?v=CmXt...

NOOOO!!! DONUT DOWN, DONUT DOWN!!

Zoomy is also becoming a shoulder cat of some sort

I have no idea what this show is about and don't read Japanese, but... apparently the correct way to shoot a Mauser is from the hip with the support hand gripping the suppressor on the end of the ridiculously long barrel. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZE7...

Age yourself with a film you saw in cinema as a kid (I was... 6? 7? at the time and Mom and Dad took me with them to see Brian's Song. At that age, I was not impressed by the story.)

Sunday Chore Music

Uh oh, jr. management is airing a grievance… You can’t win, Boo-Boo! Tippy has the high ground!

Tippy and Zoomy supervising house cleaning activities

Brain, this morning: Hey, remember that song you heard yesterday? Me: uh, yeah? Brain: “oooh, what are we gonna tell your mama? What are we gonna tell your pop? What are we gonna tell our friends when they say ooo-la-la?” Me: … damn you!

You never realize how many private jets there are until they all take off from the airport a mile away, returning home after yesterday’s game. I’ve counted 8 or 9 so far.

I do want to know 1) if you've ever heard this phrase to describe heavy rain when the sun is shining; and 2) where you lived when you heard it I first heard this from my mom who grew up in the 30s and 40s on a farm in east Tn; and I get mixed reactions from folks in Ga when I say it; so-

The worst thing about Trump sending the military to Portland is that no matter what he does, a large percentage of America distrusts large cities and *especially* "weird" blue cities, and will absolutely believe that lawless punk anarchists were ruling it and whatever happens is their own fault.

Devil’s beating his wife

I just ate the worm from a bottle of mezcal and I already regret it

Already hearing the private jets flying overhead for the Ga-Al game tomorrow… apparently a lot of Al fans are rich Right after the game is when they all fly out

My beard hairs can only be described as “kinky”

I now feel inadequate (happens a lot, TBH) But given that the website for Stratasys doesn't list prices... I figure that's outta my league for a looooong time www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4V7...

I can't carry a tune in a bucket, and play no instruments. But (despite engendering memories of church as a kid), I am really fascinated with how complex (and mathematical) pipe organs are. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bNHp...

...the term amongst instructors was "war stories" and admonished not to let your students (or yourself) waste time on telling them; I kinda disliked the term, although it's a pithy description, because it implied we'd seen *war*... which we had not. But everyone knew what you meant.

List 3 things you can talk about for 3hrs with no prep -Handgun marksmanship -Improvised explosive devices -(cop) "war" stories (hey, probably 10% or every LE training class are war stories... another 10% is shit-talking and another 10% are humerous videos that have nothing to do with the topic)

If you see this, repost with a game that released the year you were born.

*slaps fist into palm* This is why you don't violate the prime directive, people!

Continuing the deep dive" Shift Briefing, 1996, from film

Doing another deep dive of my photo collection; I did this Photoshop of a Tiger's Milk bar sometime in the late 90s. It's kind of like an easter egg hunt to find all the alterations; but the fonts are different enough to figure it out. (never said I took a lot of time doing it)

Wrote on this shell with sharpie, micron, and gel-ink ballpoint. Gel-ink didn’t write. Micron disappeared as soon as I touched it. Sharpie was wiped in places just from handling. Nickel plate brass; don’t have any brass rifle rounds other than .30 Carbine. Grist for the mill.
