Saturday Night Links, eh? You get what you pay for….and and I might have had a couple of beverages before assembling these;
Tax avoidance? The Devil you say!
I would laugh, but in a week I could be shoveling snow,
So….any of you been in Alaska lately? Asking for a friend.
We need the State to keep us safe!

Because when you think “quality education run by experts,” you immediately think “DC Public Schools.”
Did ya wade into the comments on that article? It is interesting. I think the next four years are going to really reveal the size, strength and organization of the bureaucracy that runs politics in this country. I am interested in seeing at what point someone(s) is able to decide they would rather not be seen and can they hide it.
That Downfall parody was pretty good.
As an aside, has anyone ever watched that movie? I thought it was pretty good.
It was outstanding in my opinion. Also interesting on Youtube is an interview with Bruno Ganz (movie Hitler) where he thinks it is odd but humorous the parodies made from his best known role.
Get about as oiled as a diesel train
Gonna set this dance alight
I had to google that. Apparently at that point in the song I would just move my lips and mumble in tune while “singing” along.
Also, at the risk of being mocked mercilessly, Nickelback did a pretty decent cover of that song.
No, seriously.
My Name is Talky Cayla, and I am going to kill you.
Boogity Boogity Boogity Let’s go racing, boys!
So, what’s everyone drinking tonight? SP and I are about to pop a bottle of Bottex Bugey Cerdon (sparkling Poulsard/Gamay blend), followed by an Edmunds St. John Syrah.
Sirrah, I approve of the syrah.
I will be finishing my cheap shiraz, then bourbon.
“Medicine”. Black tea, honey, lemon, and whiskey.
Fuck this flu.
I just got over it 2 days ago, and now it’s the evening of my 12th wedding anniversary and my wife is bedridden with the flu she caught from me.
That sucks. Congrats anyway!
Thanks. I guess “she like, she stay for maybe quite a while.”
You continue to surprise and delight me, HM…
That is pretty much what my wife does to the house. She can break things just by looking at them.
I don’t think I’ve had the flue in, literally, decades. I’ll bet it’s been 30 yrs.
Hey!
Hey yourself. That the Willy’s?
Sounds like somebody hasn’t been getting his flu shot
Sorry. I hope your wife gets over it quickly. Congratulations on your 12th anniversary!
Thanks, man!
Sounds like ya need to be drinking some hyppocris.
I’m with you… I’ve been fighting off a cold for almost a week now. So I’ve been working on testing new hot toddy recipes at night. My current favorite is:
1/2 oz Benedictine
1 1/2 oz Whiskey
Dash of cinnamon
Dash of ginger
Dash of clove
1 tbsp honey
Top with hot water (not boiling)
What’s Benedictine? I tried to google it but just got a bunch of Catholic stuff.
Sounds good though. Ever tried it with butter? I personally have never had a Hot Toddy, but I have heard of people putting in a little pat of butter.
Benedictine: It’s a spiced herbal liquor made by monks.
I’m a fan of classic style cocktails, and last year I picked up a book called Apothecary Cocktails, which had a recipe called Cold Cure #1001 (which rarely enough is a drink both the girlfriend and I enjoy):
12 oz pot of peppermint tea
5-6 oz Benedictine
3-4 oz sweet Vermouth
10 drops Jamaican bitters
Start by preheating 2 mugs with boiling water. Discard the water after a few seconds, add the Benedictine and the vermouth to the pot of tea. Mix gently, and wait a few minutes. Add the bitters, pour into the two mugs, and serve immediately.
As for butter, I have yet to go down that route. I’ve got several recipes to make more savory cocktails as well (including the classic Hot Buttered Rum), if we actually get winter at some point this year, I may give it a try.
Sounds good. Thanks for the link (you too Brett). Classic cocktails are something I’ve always wanted to get in to, but I’m such a beer guy that I usually say “fuck it” and pop a top.
One of these days I’ll get some class.
Classic cocktails are great, with the caveat that you’ll either need to make them at home or pay a premium at any bar that will make them well. Due to that, when I’m out, I’m generally a beer guy as well. It helps that there’s two world class breweries less then 10 miles from my house.
And fear not, I still have no class.
Benedictine gives it the medicinal taste.
Just go with Bactine
It’s almost as if you’re asking Eddie to show up with the Benedictine comment.
A co-worker treated me to a can of beer from New Caledonia that was one of the best I have had from a can. It is named Manta Intense and is 5.8% alcohol. Now I have to hope he returns to New Caledonia.
I’m 5 days into a 20 carb or less diet. I’ll keep it up for another two weeks or so before raising it to 50. No booze for me. Plus, I have three honey badgers who don’t care if I’m hungover.
I’ll have a beer for you. In Waco.
Ugh, Waco.
Don’t have sex standing up while in Waco.
He better not be having any sex in any position while there unless I drive up to visit.
*chokes on shiraz while frantically laughing*
It was a baptists joke, not a sex joke honey.
Unless you run into Jo from Fixer Upper, amirite?
Wow. WOULD
Unless you run into Jo from Fixer Upper, amirite?
Only with a shovel. And a tape measure.
They still call that dancing?
Much apologies.
Yes a bad Baylor University joke.
… it might lead to dancing.
Rejoining the brancg D?
Branch even.
Atkins? 20 carbs is really low, you’ll go into ketosis, but I assume you already know that. Even 50 is really low, but 100, you can do that long term and probably get a lot of benefits. Americans eats far too many carbs.
But she saw what going Leto did for me. I lost 20 lbs in under two months and have kept it off over the following three months going back up to around 100-150 carbs a day.
Hey! I lost 10 lbs too during that time *muffles* I just gained half of it back during the holidays.
At 100-150 long term, you’ll not only keep an ideal weight, but you’ll feel a lot better and help avoid diabetes and other typical American diet afflictions. I’ve been on and off LCHF type diet for a long time, like 2 decades. I always feel much better on. Wish I could stay on it all the time. Needz moar will power!
150 is perfect for me, with a 45 walk each day.
Need to do that again.
45 *minute* walk, I presume? Or is this some sort of stagger-round-the-track, Billy Dee style?
I’m on my seventh week of no pasta, no rice, no bread and no potatoes.
I feel great. I eat a shit ton of tofu, I love it. I can’t imagine it would be easy without tofu, so I guess I’m lucky.
I feel fantastic
Is “tofu” a euphemism for pure grain alcohol?
I would do that diet!
The problem is you won’t take a solid shit the whole time.
Problem?
Problem?
Yes, it certainly can be.
If one has haemorrhoids already present, then stools that are too loose is just as bad as shitting a brick, sometimes worse, since one of the body’s most basic funtions is to retain and conserve fluid loss.
Affects women more than men, d/t factory original women’s anatomy and physiology, especially during pregnancy.
The cure sounds worse than the disease.
The cure sounds worse than the disease.
Of the surgical interventions, sphincteroplasty is the most common (and I do these. Usually a 20 to 40 minute surgery depending on presentation and poss. complications). Even if you have regular stool, if you have this problem, you’ll still shit your pants. Those are the people who come see me.
Patients really appreciated not having to worry about wearing shitty adult diapers and CNS depressants, and other anti-diarrheals and stuff to bulk up stools.
More stone IPA. maybe rum soon.
Rum?
*lights jesse signal*
It’s just so good.
Have I been summoned?
I was day drinking at a brewery and just want to take a nap now.
But…but… Rum!
What brewery?
Beer.

This article in the Conservative Review goes out on a limb and suggests that it would be unconstitutional for California to secede from the Union.
There’s even some quotes from the Catholic intellectual Orestes Brownson:
“The simple fact is that the political or sovereign people of the United States exists as United States, and only as united states. The Union and the states are coeval, born together, and can exist only together. Separation is dissolution—the death of both. The United States are a state, a single sovereign state; but this single sovereign state consists in the union and solidarity of the states instead of individuals. The Union is in each of the states, and each of the states is in the Union….
“This division of the powers of government … rendered possible and practicable by the original constitution of the people themselves, as one people existing and acting through state organizations, is the American method…. The American method demands no … antagonism, no neutralizing of one social force by another, but avails itself of all the forces of society, organizes them dialectically, not antagonistically, and thus protects with equal efficiency both public authority and private rights.”
Don’t blow your load in the first five minutes of the links, Eddie. Read a few posts and relax.
Is this better?
I don’t think he’s allowed to do that without at least feeling bad and going to confession afterwards.
*opera applause*
Yeah, did I not give enough links m’self?

Never mind me, I was making a drunkenness joke. Also my social skills are underdeveloped. What’s offensive coming from a normal person is quaint and idiosyncratic coming from me.
Don’t send me back to that other site, I claim asylum.
Eddie, you put the ass in asylum.

Better than putting the soul in asylum.
*begins coding a “block users” feature*
/jk
I don’t think the TOP MEN here are afraid of the banhammer.
We’ll eventually get around to a block users feature for Monocle. It’s really low priority.
Sometimes personalities conflict and people just can’t stand one another. I’d prefer them have the option of blocking one another rather than shitting up threads with petty squabbling.
Google cut off my monocle privileges this morning and told me to tell you to tell them that you should put your extension in their chrome app place if i wanna use it again. Could be I don’t know what I’m doing and if there is a work around let me know if not no sweat.
I’m not exactly sure what would cause that. I run Firefox, so I don’t have that issue. Anybody running Chrome know what’s going on?
@trshmnstr on February 18, 2017, 8:43 PM
Oh ,hey, what are the priorities? I’d love to pitch in where I could.
Higher priority is stuff like getting an options element set up to allow the user to toggle all of the features, change view mode, etc.
I was thinking about maybe tackling a “newest first” view while keeping the threading in tact, as well as converting links into pics/embedded video.
There are a few bugfixes to be done, such as making sure all of the siblings of a new comment are shown when old threads are hidden, getting rid of “COMMENT” when you click an HTML tag button without typing text, and adjusting the spacing of the comments without a reply button.
Low priority is user blocking, comment promotion (highlight a different color after a certain number of +1 and “This. ” replies), reply by clicking anywhere on the comment, and a zillion other small things that have been suggested.
One thing I would love to attempt is a client-side dynamic refresh of the comments. Unfortunately, I haven’t made much headway on that, yet.
Here’s the project, I’ll get you the required permissions to tinker.

Don’t listen to Stan Rogers while drinking, now I long for Horse Girls again.
Excellent horse like woman?
You really need a link for that song.
There’s always Monster Musume, John.
Less literal horse girls, more equestrians. I am tempted, but I will not yield. Horse girls are the path of darkness and destruction of the soul.

So, speaking of donation-like things, have you considered setting up a Patreon account? If a bunch of professional victims can use it for the “professional” part of their life, why not our Beloved Server?
It was either a Jacket joke or a Hitler joke. I figured since the Jacket is immortal, the Jacket joke would have more longevity.
Nice job on the video with Hitler, The Commentariat, The Jacket… I was laughing my ass off.
We have, eventually something will be done. Right now us founders kicked in enough, and with the work of our invaluable web goddess SP….here we are.

*cough*Monocle Update*cough*
greasonable has ported the HTML tag buttons from TSTSNBN-greasonable to Monocle. There are a few things that still need worked out, but you don’t need to manually enter HTML tags anymore!
I have no clue how this got nested over here… This wasn’t supposed to be a reply
Does that work for Android phones? Great work btw
I’m not sure about android phones. My gut feeling says you’re probably not able to download user scripts onto mobile chrome/firefox, but I could be wrong.
OK. I gotta ask. What the hell is Monocle? Every time I click on it, all that happens is I see code. Which is better than seeing dead people, but still…
What browser do you use? I’ll forward install instructions based on that.
Firefox
Easiest way for Firefox is to download Greasemonkey, restart your browser, click the above link (including any confirmation of install), and refresh this page. You’ll see the Monocle toolbar at the bottom and notice some formatting enhancements.
The threading is intolerable without Monocle. At least with Monocle you know when a new post has been made. Sort of like Reasonable, but different. You’ll figure out how it works really quickly after you install it.
Oh wow. Thanks trshmnstr! Much better!
trshmnstr
I downloaded it and nothing happens. Restarted browser and nothing. WHen I go to your link a second time it says Reinstall, so I assume it installed. What am I doing wrong?
I’m using Chrome. I have Tampermonkey already for Greasonable.
You may be required to enable it somewhere in the settings. I’m not familiar with Tampermonkey, but if it’s like Greasemonkey, then sometimes the script gets loaded in a disabled state.
I’m using chrome as well and can’t keep it running , seems if it’s not in the chrome store they disable it for you. this is the message I get——If you need to use a disabled extension, you can contact the extension’s developer and ask them to upload their extension to the Chrome Web Store. This will allow you, and other people who use Chrome, to install that extension from the Chrome Web Store, or if you already have it installed, to manually re-enable it from your list of extensions.–might try using IE just for Glib or just suffer without really cool comment interface abilities, such is the sad lot I have drawn.
Temporary fix for the “Chrome Web Store” error is to enable developer mode in the settings. It’ll still bug you on startup to shut off developer mode, but at least you’ll get the functionality.
I think that downloading the tampermonkey extension and loading Monocle through tampermonkey may fix the error, too. Perhaps I should fire up Chrome and figure out what’s going on.
Okay, I fired up Chrome. Definitely install tampermonkey first, it gets rid of the bitching from Chrome. Once you install tampermonkey, click the link again and it should install as a user script (you’ll see a tab pop up with a bunch of crap in it, including an install button).
Regarding it not running with tampermonkey, can you tell me what you’re seeing if you click the tampermonkey button? I’m seeing something that shows Monocle with a little toggle switch set to “on.”
Tampermonkey did the trick, I don’t even know what I did but loaded TM and then monocle was working again, and maybe you changed it since yesterday but It seems to have new features now also, Tampermonkey FTW or GTFO or SOATIDR!!
Ok, working now after a computer restart.
thx
Sweet! All the fires have been extinguished!
Spoke too soon, restarted and chrome is again disabling it for me, because I’m too stupid to decide which extensions to run on my own computer, fuck chrome gonna try IE, even though i think i started using chrome because ‘fuck IE’, but it’s late and I’m drunkish so I’ll give it a go mañana.
Fuck Chrome and IE. Get Firefox
Wasn’t as drunkish as I thunkish, uninstalled everything reinstalled Tampermonkey then Monocle then restart and good. for now. we’ll see.
I’m tired of having a bigger vocabulary than my laptop. Apparently whatever’s running the spell check on this thing is an unlettered rube.

“The reason grandparents and grandchildren get along so well is that they have a common enemy”
This article in the Forward explains that Ginsburg is simply a tool of the Patriarchy.
“Suggesting that women called the shots from behind the scenes of the biblical narrative plays into the claims of those who insist women have always had private power in Judaism and thus don’t need a public say in religious affairs….
“Male dominance for the greater part of Jewish history should not be dismissed with a reference to Miriam, whether in the service of shoring up gender norms or to the Passover story a comfortably feminine slant. If you want to rectify a problem or prevent its recurrence, you can’t turn your back on the fact that it happened. And Passover is about confronting history, with all the ignominies and regrettable circumstances it entails. We wouldn’t want to rewrite the Passover story to make it sound like we weren’t really slaves to Pharaoh, and we shouldn’t retell it in a way that implies men weren’t really in charge.”

“In the old days, when there was no Internet, people wrote letters on paper and sent their letters and packages through the government Postal Service. Of course, the Postal Service was filled with hacks and it charged too much.
“So Lysander Spooner decided he’d deliver people’s mail without them having to go through the Postal Service.
“The Post Office hacks whined like little bitches, but at least they lowered their rates a bit.
“Later, Lysander decided that the so-called U.S. Constitution wasn’t a real law. He’d never agreed to it after all….”

It’s not intended to ‘care’ about what Tony thinks. It’s the hilariousness of his stupidity. What does ‘draw a line’ mean. Does that mean it’s forbidden?
Not forbidden, just boring.I’m just bitching because it’s the same thing over and over again. Tony calls us racist and stupid, the end.
I disagree. Tony can actually be pretty entertaining at times. I mean, I’m glad he will not be allowed to post that shit here, but still, he comes up with some doozies. I’m mean someone of it is better than any sarcasm anyone can intentionally come up with.
I’m pretty sure he puts the least amount of effort into getting the most kicked beehive response. He really doesn’t have much effort to get a flurry of anger from the regulars.
I completely ignore him most of the time. But occasionally he says something so incredibly stupid that I have to slap him up side of the head. Seriously, there is not even any posters on Salon as dumb as Tony. He’s a real piece of work. Like the time he threatened to have Obama kill all libertarians with Cruz missiles.
I have this theory that Tony may be one of my relatives, which is kind of funny but mostly horrible.
I actually know who Tony is. For realsies. His first name is Anthony.
@Groovus That does not negatively impact my theory. Unfortunately.
The plot thickens!
That does not negatively impact my theory. Unfortunately.
Did the Anthony you know earn an undergraduate degree in Poli Sci from a central southern, private Uni?
Forbotten. Sounds better in the original German 😉
Oh look! It made my little semi-colon and end parenthesis a whatchamacallit!
The verbotten emoji!
Is there an … “emoji”(?)… That has the narrowed gays?
????
Jeezus, don’t get bacon and HM going with the emojis. They have no shame
There’s an Aesop’s Fable for that, Mr. Schmidt.
Zeus and Shame
Thanks for the fable Jesse. It was very enlightening.
First it’s a 🙂 then it’s a cell phone, then it’s a top hat…and then tomorrow we wake to threads full of this:
Don’t worry, I’m sure he’ll be here soon.
He’d be banned in 2 minutes. He’s not smart enough and doesn’t have control of himself enough to try to trick anyone. He’ll get drunk and go off on a hate tirade against libertarians first time he gets to log in.
There has been much discussion about the banhammer…
Well, known trolls, like shreek and Tony need to be banned. Other than that, I hope they tread lightly with that, and I’m sure they will. You know how sarcastic and ornery libertarians are, and there is 100% sure to be spats and feuds. It’s just the way it is.
Who you calling ornery, asshole!
Look, for the final time, I’m not putting on spats just to have a feud.
Opinions vary widely.
It’s a tricky topic. How does a libertarian site justify banning dissenting opinion?
And then where do you draw the line? There are folks I’d call trolls that others wouldn’t.
Who decides?
My personal opinion is to use the hammer only when the individual is disruptive or abusive. (Despite my deep personal desire to use it more liberally.)
This is where a “block user” feature will be helpful. Banhammer the anti-social behavior, let the users block the annoying people.
OMG! OMG! OMG! /catches breath.
I just realized what where will I migrate my ‘Hello’ reserved for the AM/PM links?!?!?
Ahem, you mean the morning and afternoon links.
Okay, first take a drink. Second, we tolerate your Francophone ways here. You can totally say “Allo” and we will still love you. Be yourself buddy.
Uh, Rufus is an allophone.
Rufus, do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law (unless it pisses off the mods). Put your hello wherever it pleases you.
That’s a helluva euphamism.
Woah woah woah! We’re allowing Canadians in here?
It’s too late, brah, the invasion is complete.
They snuck in before we could bar the door – once you have ’em…. so we figured best to make nice now that they are here.
God, Swiss, don’t let them know we know they’re here. I’ve been setting Canuck traps all day and now they’re going to be wary of them.
*dismantles ’90s comedy night set*
HA, our 90s Canadian PSA already warned us of this!
What’s the problem with Canadians? They’re just like Americans, only they talk funny. Now the French ones, lord, do NOT let those fuckers in here.
Criss de calice de tabarnak d’osti de sacrament!
See what I mean?
*opens portcullis for first Montrealer to bring me poutine or all dressed chips*
Poutine is food of the gods.
Fun Fact: The very first time I heard the word, “Poutine,” I thought it was slang for Female Naughty Bits.
I believe Broswater is French-Canadian. Ted’s knowledge of Quebec’s ridiculous labeling tags – Francophone, Anglophone and Allophone – is impressive. The again, he listens to the CBC.

Just let that other site be itself. We don’t need updates. Those that want will visit.
This.
H&R got a total of 280 comments today.
200 of which were from dajjal
Reason should watch their media buy/Taboola revenue stats and see if there’s a correlation with loss of revenue and dajjal crapflooding. Bro makes a hot case for a shitcanning because it’s so fucking deranged.
Shreek can’t even begin to hold a candle to pre-registration Mary Stack/White Indian. Man was that a fun time.
I whitelisted every single advertisement related line of code from TPTSNBN(tm). So’s I never generated any revenue for them anyway, outside of donations.
D00d, please…
Stop inciting it.
Do not feed.
Richard Spencer tries to crash a libertarian conference
h/t the other site
Those comments…
Holy shit.
Jeffrey Tucker kicks Richard Spencer out of International Students for Liberty Conference.
I wonder why it is that (unless you spent time on Radix like I did) almost no one knew who Spencer was and he wasn’t floating around events for attention until the 2016 election and the left started screaming about the alt-right.
Thanks Clinton.
Deja vu
It’s almost like his actions got exactly what he wanted. Let the neo-nazi wander around.
Like a cuckoo bird laying its eggs in someone else’s nest? I think the libertarians reserved that private venue.
Yeah, I’d be pretty ticked off if that blowhard weaseled his way into my conference.
But shouting him down and calling him a fascist doesn’t help you, and in fact really just provokes the drawing of unfortunate parallels (no matter how actually-valid they are) to certain other censorious groups.
Easier to say as a calm third-party with hindsight, though.
OK, true, best to call hotel security and say Spencer crashed the event…
It’s as if Tucker was afraid that certain media would associate him and the ISFLC’s views with Spencer’s—as if those media won’t do so anyway, or smear them in some other way.
His theatrical display of outrage was counterproductive.
This is Jeffery Tucker we’re talking about.
Jeffery. Tucker.
The man wears a bow tie people.
…………touché
Tucker reportedly wrote much of the Ron Paul newsletter content so he sort of left himself open to those “associations”.
Something like that is a lose lose. If you kick him out it gets him attention, but if you let him wander around someone looking for a salacious story takes a picture of him at the event and writes about how obviously welcome he is.
Suggestion: Invite him to debate at some neutral forum, let him give the case for his Whitopia, examine him on how it’s actually going to be enforced in practice, get him on record rejecting the Declaration of Independence, etc.
It was more than just him attending.
I believe that’s called “soliciting”. If the dude wanted a platform, let him rent a hotel ballroom himself. It’s just tacky to suck onto Tucker’s event like a tick.
If a reporter wants to write a #VeryFakeNews (heh) yellow-journalism smear story, no amount of attempted minimization of potential angles will stop him. Libertarians aren’t suddenly going to have laudatory stories written about them, no matter what they do.
Ask, “can I set up a pro-Declaration of Independence table at your next private event without being hassled?”
Dear God, the comments to that article…
The election and the spotlight on them has driven the alt-right to think they’re in ascendancy, so now you get their internet mob morons randomly showing up and spewing their ‘brilliance’ everywhere. Clinton saddled the entire public discourse with this idiocy so she could score a few points with her base.
It’s just infuriating how they think “free speech” means “crash an event and then play martyrdom games when asked to leave.”
It’s a textbook example of sea-lioning. And this shit is applauded by pack of gibbering microcephalic apes!
I don’t think it’s about free speech, it’s Alinskyite posturing. Hold your opponent to their own standard and all that. Spencer and his ilk just want to obliterate as much of the legitimacy of other groups as they can so they can try to worm their way into a solidified part of the public discourse. Sure, their base eats it up like the internet mob it is, but I’m guessing Spencer thinks he’s some bloody combination of Machiavelli and Nietzsche running a brilliant long term plan.
Since he rejects the Declaration of Independence, we can rule out the possibility that he believes in inalienable rights except for himself and his allies.
That makes sense. I’ve always felt that “Heil Trump” stunt he did in DC that got captured on film with troglodytes throwing the Nazi salute, was a worming/parasitic tactic to generate beaucoup controversial coverage, with the side benefit of picking up new troglodytes into the movement from the exposure. That, and the result probably gave him a chubby.
You might find this article interesting.
Ty
Well, from the quick scan i did, the libertarians are being called out for hypocrisy, ie calling the cops to remove someone who was unwelcome because bad thinking.
Are they wrong?
No, he was unwelcome because he opened a booth at Tucker’s convention without paying an exhibitor’s fee.
Don’t you see, any libertarian who wants to use force against a trespasser is a hypocrite!
Well, unless the trespasser is a negro or China-man, of course.
Private event, Spencer was soliciting, nothing in libertarian orthodoxy saying you can’t kick someone out of a private event for failing to comply with general rules of said event.
Obviously that shit weasel was baiting Tucker, but Tucker swallowed the bait hook, line, and sinker. I can’t say the hypocrisy claim isn’t legit.
I knew who Richard Spencer was before the election, because even back in 2014-15 or so, the “cuck” slur and the ((( ))) crap kept showing up on right-wing websites and I went investigating to see what they meant. It was eye-opeening for sure.
How does one start submitting “articles” for this thing?
I felt like making a brief commentary on the following @ H&R but skipped it, thinking it was wasted
America’s Top
40173: #1 Songs from 1840-2013See? sugarfreed the very first link. typical.
second try
There is a submit/suggest thing on the upper right I think of main page.
“I’ll Make Love to You” set to a picture of Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky. HAH!
It surprises me how many of those earlier, 19th-C. songs I recognize.
SIV noted that 19th century minstrel songs are probably *still* under-represented even tho Stephen Foster had like 4 or 5 #1 mentions.
Same here.
Geez look at this guy, not even out of moderation and he’s looking to be an author.

How does one start submitting “articles” for this thing?
Send them by word doc to the email “submit” at this website .com
Thanks
is there any guide for protocol w/ formatting, html, etc?
Download Monocle (the link is upthread somewhere), and use the buttons to do the formatting for you.
Oh, I’m stupid… you’re talking article format. I dunno. I just give it a title and a byline, and type until I’m bored.
May I submit my 20 page treastie on why the Easter Islanders died from the ultimate broken windows fallacy?
I submitted an article based on a 40 page research paper I wrote on public education, so probably.
Fuck, now i have to actually write the damned thing or you all will know I’m bullshitting.
No, thank you for mentioning monocle regardless – i’ve got it installed now and hopefully SF’d linkage will be avoided
as for formatting submissions…. Jesse seems to be helping on that point below.
We aren’t that sophisticated. Try to keep it to the AP formatting rules you remember. Cite your sources with links using the _blank target tag and use the current version of html tags em instead of i and strong instead of b, etc. If it doesn’t translate over someone will put some polish on it. Try not to get us or yourself sued. No guarantees that submitted work will be used; submissions must pass a three headed libertarian woman for recognition.
Bullshit. There are no libertarian women.
Believe what you like, J. I have seen the mysteries of the Glibertarian inner circle and it is surprisingly cis-women heavy.
jesse counts as a sassy black woman, as well.

Appropos?
Further evidence that Loki the Trickster is the one true god is that woman eventually became an Alex Jones devotee.
That’s ridiculous and offensive!
That said, my three snaps in a z is on point.
What’s “ridiculous and offensive” is that you still haven’t shared with the rest of the commentariat the video of you at the last West Coast HnR meet up.
DAMN IT. You can’t just link me to It’s Raining Men. Now I’m stuck in a homoanthem disco loop.
“”Try to keep it to the AP formatting rules you remember. Cite your sources with links using the _blank target tag””
i never knew AP formatting rules. if i did, it was the late 90s, and i needed the money.
the times i wrote things for external publications were almost always “send us an email and we’ll handle the formatting”; other institutions i worked for all had publishing systems which were extremely hinky MS-word-macro-nightmares. (banks)
I figure i’ll just write in crayon and tape some pictures on it, and stuff it in the “SUBMIT” hole and see what happens.
Should be fine. Just try to make it clear how you want it to be laid out and the ladyfolk will do the heavy lifting for 78c on the dollar.

Nope. Dr. ZG has a treasure trove of urology fotos and slides, and….no dice. He is a hard man to break.
I’m taking stock of this and I probably can be bought with dick pics, Although all of the commenters noodz I’ve seen have been above average. I make no promises for uggos.

Someone linked to this, which I’ve been going by. Just use em for italics.
One word per Word doc. Send them a 1000 docs if you need to.
I doubt I’ll ever submit anything, but is ODF acceptable for those of us who don’t have access to MS Office? (Office can read ODF plenty adequately for most text tasks).
Probably, but why? Anything that writes ODF can save as doc with negligible formatting issues. Why not save in a format nearly guaranteed to be openable by even the less tech savvy person who might receive it instead of foisting the added labor on the receiver?
Because I already have LibreOffice setup to default to ODF 1.2 strict and I’m a lazy cunt.
Most of my office documents are only for personal consumption, so I rarely ever export to MS formats anymore. Fuck vendor lock in. But you’re right, it’s just as easy to export to OOXML at the origin end as to import from ODF at the other end. I think MS Office can open ODF seamlessly now though, so it shouldn’t be a huge hassle. It’ll nag you to save any changes in OOXML though.
This conversation is triggering.
Back right when whichever version of office introduced docx came out, one of the big bosses kept sending documents to the staff and nobody could open it. I asked him to please change his default to the older .doc format and he emailed back saying that he’d read older systems could just install an extra bit of software to be able to read the documents and I should just install that on EVERY computer instead.
I was unaware that word had a native ODF reader. I use LibreOffice at work (and notepad at home), but have everything set to the older compatible .doc file just to avoid headaches.
My dad had a small home office when the changeover happened. It completely broke his brain. He never saved any two documents in the same format after that.
Office 2013+ I think can open up to ODF 1.2 strict, but it might be only up to ODF 1.1. For text it doesn’t make much of a difference, most of the extensions in 1.2 are related to spreadsheets (which OSS still can’t match Microsoft on, sadly; fortunately my spreadsheet needs are very basic).
Btw, I choose to pronounce the name of this site in the GNU convention, like “GUH-libertarians”.
Word doc? What about people who use Linux?
Hello.

*the origin of my pic
Hello. I decided to create an account here. Formerly Pat (PM) from Reason. I’m sure you’re all delighted to see me and have missed me terribly lo these many days.
I killed my Reason account yesterday just in case I’m ever feeling stupid enough to log back in again. Since I couldn’t find a “delete my account” option I just changed the login to a random guerrillamail address and random password that I didn’t write down. I kinda hate the idea of fragmenting into little splinter groups like this, but since I’m done with Reason I’m still going to need my occasional fix of pedantic arguing and name calling over inane libertarian esoterica.
Yay! Libertarians rock!

A *cape* and hair.
He predated the 70s. I think that was his one original hit. Or maybe there were 1 or 2 more.
He obviously bit some chops from James Brown and Jackie Wilson and Otis Redding and Wilson Pickett. But so did everyone. He just did it… gratuitously.
With soul like that, are you sure he isn’t? I mean he must have impregnated women just by walking past them.
i’d love to think so. sadly, people get their hair-genes from the mothers’ side.
re: Jaco w/ Wayne Cochran
he was 20 years old in that recording. which he wrote (for the entire band). he already sounded like he was way ahead of everyone around him.
Wayne Cochran wrote one of the best early-60s death-rock songs, Last Kiss. You can youtube up one or more of his own recordings but here’s the hit, a cover by J. Frank Wilson & the Cavaliers
If you’re not familiar with “first-wave” death rock Jody Reynolds was the king.

Well then thank goodness I didn’t waste my time giving you a helpful answer with links and such.

That was me using [em] instead of [i]. Fascinating. I used two extra characters to get the exact same result!

No, seriously, you’re alright.
I’m cashing in early for the evening. Before i go i want to recommend again something i mentioned a while ago =
“A Pervert’s Guide To Ideology”
A movie about a crazy slovenian marxist psychoanalytical philosopher rambing about schlocky movies.
Its not the best description, but… well there you go. Its not for everyone, but it has its moments, and for all the batshit marxist psychoanalytical nuttery… he has a point most of the time. The fact that he has a terrible lisp and keeps touching his own face just adds to it being funnier.
Oh, and the film that he starts off with is “THEY LIVE”.
And he covers everything ranging from “Titanic” to “West Side Story” to “The Dark Knight”… and on and on.
They Live is “one of the forgotten masterpieces of the Hollywood left”
I never thought I’d hear anyone use “masterpiece” to describe a movie starring Rowdy Roddy Piper. Woooo!
The late Rowdy Roddy Piper.
Yes, all kidding aside, he died far too young.

I highly suggest turning on the Closed Captioning for these, it’s really entertaining.
how do you measure yourself with the coffers I hide?
Also, guys, in another life I did search engine optimization. If you want some outdated help in SEO, I can help.
We have to own the results at Alta-Vista!
Outdated does not mean useless. It means “eh, its free and good enough until we have cash for good results”
And, I could do most of it without their blessing. But I wouldn’t, because respect.
Most of my xp re seo is from local SEO and for that I’d need access to email accounts, a physical adress, etc. For this stuff, not so much.
But I’m not going to do it without approval from those who own the site
You just made all that shit up, didn’t you?
For instance: the website is registered at an address in the 92821 area code. I’m actually not bad at that type of work, and I’ve got a spreadsheet of places b to register the site at. Gimme permission, and I’ll see if i can’t increase your page ranking.
Area code, zip code: it’s all the same
You do understand that this is what SP does for a living?
Appreciate the offer. Seriously. Everyone is being super generous and sincerely trying to help. But she’s got that stuff nailed, and she’s the best there is at that kind of thing.
LYCOS OR BUST!!!!!
So is the site functioning again? That was some overhaul!
Still not 100% there, but close. And she DID warn y’all.
SP pulled an all nighter- someone ought to get her flowers.
This site *did* grow fairly quickly, and by grow I mean was built by you and your better half.
Her. 100% her. I claim no credit other than she wanted to make my friends and me happy because of my extreme charm.
The migration is not a simple thing and had to happen sooner than we thought we’d need it (high class problem). She explained to me what was going on and what was involved and I understood about 5% of it. But apparently there’s some code that has to be fixed so avatars all come back and links to http (as opposed to https) something something something SSL acronym acronym acronym. Everyone will bitch because she finally fell asleep at 5:30 am before doing that long and tedious task.
Will this do?
Almost 500 comments. Geez, you guys aren’t fucking around anymore.

FYI: Hopefully I don’t sound ungrateful; this is quickly becoming my go-to site. After your server upgrade, it is almost unreadable on mobile chrome. Everything is jamming to the right side of the screen (especially replies) and avatars are overlapping screen names. If it helps, I’m using whatever version of Chrome is available for the Galaxy S7 with Android 6.1.
It’s actually working better for me than the old cocktail party site. Although my first comment went into moderation
That’ll work itself out. The server migration is still a work-in-process, hopefully finished later today. SP is super sensitive to how things work on mobile.
Everybody take a deep breath and relax. Today might get a little buggy but that’s just because our tireless IT queen got … tired. She isn’t a damn machine.
However your mother never seemed to slow down….
BTW good morning mammals!
No pressure on her. Everything is working beautifully for me…I think. Looks good anyway.
Hey everybody! Just found out about this place. Looks nice. Feels pretty good. Think I may try to stick around for awhile.

Thank you very, very much SP, your Herculean efforts are most appreciated.

*I put out bait for bees and the flies gathered around it. There are a dozen or so green anoles gathered around waiting for the flies to light. Their bellies are so full they can hardly move. They dont bother running to hide when I approach.
Good morning all.
I missed this posting last night so while sipping my coffee I perused the comments and found this gem:
“Frankly I had thought that at the time Roe was decided, there was concern about population growth and particularly growth in populations that we don’t want to have too many of.” – Ruth Bader Ginsberg
That is just stunning. I had not heard that before.
My understanding of that comment and her further discussion of it is that it was not an endorsement, merely an observation.
Of course it is an observation of the sentiment of others, but were she on the court at the time how would she have voted?
This is why, as a commenter once said, I value truth over politeness. I dont like cryptic statements, intrigue, hidden agendas, scheming and plotting etc. I like people to just come out and say what they mean. What she said was ‘At the time a lot of people wanted abortion to cut down on the black population’.
I know she doesnt like Roe but only because she thinks it is legally questionable, she is definitely pro-abortion. Usually after one of them lets it slip out the rest of them run around pretending it never happened or explaining why they didn’t mean what they said.
I somehow managed to completely avoid knowing anything about the PewDiePie scandal until today. It’s awesome. Basically, I was able to get the Cliff’s Note’s version; Bland comedian puts out content on Youtube making fun of people who accuse him of being an anti Semite. People who are made fun of then cut PDP’s video into a million pieces and erect a Frankenstein straw man. Media refuses to admit they were wrong. I’m so happy I didn’t follow that whole shit show in real time because the digest version carries a better punch.
I had never heard of the guy. It sounds like the usual proggie narrative to me. They so desperately need a racist cannibal hitler to do battle with because they define themselves by the enemy they fight. Without evil to vanquish their identity disappears so they keep looking under every rock and behind every tree to find it. They see monsters everywhere while the rest of us just see people. It really is sad.
In the end they are no different from these people:

I know I’m way behind. *Slips and falls on hamster wheel and spins around and around*
I saw the post but it made no sense to me. PewPieDie is a nonsensical word to me so I just jumped to the comments.
*I kind of made an effort to read about it but being completely unfamiliar with the story and the people but the narrative being a repetition of what we have seen over and over I just thought ‘oh, here we go again…’ and went to the comments.
I attribute your ignorance of my post to antisemitism.
Busted! Dammit!
It’s worse than the media falling for the usual fake racist hoax. This time they intentionally cut out context which suggests the exact opposite of what PDP is reported to believe. Basically it’s this: “The media will claim I’m a racist if I say, ‘I’m a racist. Not.’” Media responds with, “PDP admits he’s a racist.” It’s surreal.
DT’s tongue lashing of the press a couple of days ago:
