Right you lot. I shan’t try to trick you with pics of hot dames. No, I am going for substance here! *turns red trying to hold in laughter* Oh, who the heck am I kidding. Enjoy (or not) these links of….stuff.
- South America has seen something like this, in the recent past, has it not?
- Sure it is supply and demand…BUT!
- For those in the mood to make a bit of a bet.
- Time to sweep the Dons from the sea? It is a comin’!
- Florida Tourism promoted!
That ought to hold you for a couple of hours at least. Then much better material will be here.

For you, good sir
You rock, Just Say’n.
Hello
Damn.
You’re doing the Lord’s work, thank you.

To be fair, he did use it well.
Porting a query for HM over here re: the front page pics on the previous article:
Is she thicc?
I should think, borderline yes.
Yeah, that was kinda my take, but I’m not a thiccficionado. While certainly curvy in the buttocular region, I wasn’t sure if she needed a few more sammiches to really make the grade.
Which is why I was asking HM, not you. 🙂
She was already a Thicc Thursday entrant
Jessica Tsai *Homer Simpson drool*
There you have it. Maybe if I looked at their faces I would have recognized her.
Faces? I musta missed that.
Spain the the UK are jostling over Gibraltar? Is this the 1600’s?
Also, I am first
Or second, I suppose
From the diary of a soldier in the garrison of Gibraltar under siege, 1727.
March 9th. Came a deserter who reports that while our guns were firing at them an officer pulled of his hat, huzzaed and called God to damn us all, when one of our balls with unerring justice took off the miserable man’s head and left him a wretched example of the Divine justice.
April 12th. A recruit who refused to work, carry arms, eat or drink was whipped for the fifth time, after which being asked by the officer he said he was now ready to do his duty.
May 7th. This morning Ensign Stubbs of Colonel Egerton’s regiment retired a little out of the camp and shot himself.
June 17th. Today two corporals of the Guards boxed over a rail until both expired, but nobody can tell for what reason.
October 11th. One of Pearce’s regiment went into the belfry of a very high steeple, threw himself into the street, and broke his skull to pieces.
October 16th. Will Garen, who broke his back, was hanged.
December 9th. Last night a deserter clambered up within a little of Willis’s battery and was assisted by a ladder of ropes by our men. When the officers came to examine his face, they found him to have deserted out of the Royal Irish two months ago. Asking the reason of his return, he said he chose rather to be hanged than continue in the Spanish service, so is to have his choice.
Didn’t realize it was this easy to get into Stanford. Man, I’ve been doing this all wrong.
He should probably study rhetoric in college
Oh, he just makes it look easy. Its actually pretty hard for a decent, normal human being to be that ignorant, arrogant, and entitled.
It’s been that easy to get in ever since Chelsea Clinton went there.
Why Trump won. Why Trump won. Why Trump won. Why Trump won. Why Trump won x 20.
Smug little bastard. I went to college with a crapload of assholes like him. He’s about to find out what it’s like to be a fry in an ocean.
I went to college with a crapload of assholes too. But not like him.
You don’t survive with that kind of assholery at an engineering school. We had our own special kind.
He’ll be wildly successful and get a 6-figure job in government.
Or as an Ezra Klein type.
Indeed, the fact that Ezra isn’t living out of an appliance box under an overpass is all the proof you need that the system doesn’t really work the way you were raised to think it works.
I live in a van.
Down by tha river.
Dude already has his own consultancy agency.
And yet he’s wearing a t-shirt promoting black-on-black violence.
The people angriest at this should not be teenagers who were denied entry to Stanford. The people angriest at this should be any black or Muslim student who was accepted based on his or her own merits, and whose accomplishment has now been degraded to the equivalent of an ignorant stunt.
If nothing else, maybe this will help people realize what a waste of time and money these Ivy League schools are.
Stanford is not an Ivy. Just sayin’.
Coming soon to North America
Semi-OT, but have you read James Duncan’s Blood Republic? Pretty entertaining novel about the EC having a tie, and the country splitting into Progs vs MAGA people vs Alex Jones’s audience vs PMCs.
If there’s a tie in the EC, doesn’t the House of Representatives just decide the election?
That didn’t work out too well the last time that happened.
Q wasnt a horrible president. And Andy J just waited 4 years and tried again.
Tilden would like a word with you.
Technically, I guess you’re right. I’m thinking of Rutherford B. Hayes and the disputed electors. Technically, that wasn’t decided by the House, as there was an agreement to end the dispute.
Its the best kind of correct.
So true
Technically, it’s the only kind of correct.
Way to explain the joke.
I think so, but the candidates refuse to concede. There’s other reasons as well, but since they’re sort of spoilers I won’t mention them here.
That is a fairly narrow set of circumstances to allow the president to stand for re-election.
Muslim Teen Writes #BlackLivesMatter 100 Times for His Stanford Application Statement, Gets Accepted
Sure it is supply and demand…BUT!
$1.5 million? Pffffffff
The bribes to get it approved probably cost the parking operator that much alone. Poor investment.
The “West Coast Ivy”. Snorts.
Twice is excusable, Thrice is an offense
Hilarious video of 3 Swedish lady police officers trying to arrest an “asylum seeker”. Another man actually wrestles him to the ground then leaves him for the cops to cuff. They immediately lose control and get their asses beat.
Two gems from the article:
the asylum seeker was apprehended after the video ends but not before attempting to set several fires in the asylum home.
Shame they stopped him.
The heavily migrant-populated suburbs have also been a test for feminists in Sweden, some of whom are now moving away because Islamic fundamentalists do not tolerate their presence in the areas.
One of the rare instances where an open border policy actually imposed personally on People Who Matter, who are generally quite adept at insuring that none of Those Sorts will ever make a personal appearance in their neighborhood.
that’s worth a chuckle.
was she trying to arrest that first guy that helped??
i’m assuming no firearms on police in Sweden?
and the bald guy at the end?? cop or just a dumbshit. he got rocked for a second there. not quite out on his feet but definitely woozy.
AFAIK, the cops have to keep their firearms locked in their vehicles. Or maybe that’s Norway. One of the two.
That’s a good plan if the perp decides to flee to INSIDE THE CAR.
They’d never do that! Those cars say Police on them! Those perps have to RESPECT OUR AUTHORITAH.
It’s the second one. The Swedish cops have to keep their firearms locked in Norway.
Even so, its ridiculous that not one of them seemed to have an ASP baton or some other non-lethal weapon on them to kneecap the motherfucker. He could have been strangling someone to death while they stood around watching.
One of them had some kind of baton. She dropped it when she got smacked.
“”She dropped it when she got smacked.””
(facepalm)
the part of the vid that actually made me angry was the bit where he was smashing their car, and they were standing about 30 feet away from him watching (with one that he punched making it an extra 10 yards…)
as though he couldn’t have closed that distance and killed one of them before either of the others could do shit. It was complaisance bordering on delusion. They were basically granting him control of the situation.
I love how one the officers holds back the Good Samaritan. “NO! You’re not in the union!”
“we need to write you up for interfering”
I liked that part too. ‘Step aside sir and let us do, er, our jobs’.
Embarrassing.
At least American cops wouldn’t let themselves be fucked over, right?
American cops would have just killed that guy in a fusillade of gunfire.
An angry man from a culture that doesn’t rate women highly taking on three women?
Damn, who could have predicted this outcome.
What in the fucken hell did I just watch? What a bleeping disgrace. The guy WALKED AWAY and they still did nothing? Apparently, only later did he get apprehended? And what is this retardation of sending THREE women cops into a refugee area without a single male officer?
Man oh man, Sweden is cuck en masse.
Women are just as tough as men. This is known.
Women can kick a man in the face or the groin, and there’s nothing he can do about it.
Would this guy be considered a “refugee”? If so, if he’s looking for somewhere to go, he’s apparently welcome at several homes in my Minneapolis neighborhood, according to signs that people have posted in their front yards.
Aw man, do your neighbors also have those stupid signs that start ‘In This House’ and the list several trite platitudes to let everyone know their house is a GoodThink house?
I haven’t seen those, which surprises me since many of my neighbors are really into signalling their correct beliefs.
We must live in the same neighborhood. I especially love the middle-aged white lady who puts signs out suggesting I “Celebrate Ramadan!”
Ha! I have seen those.
Looks like he learned a lot from Andy Kaufman.
Useful idiots. They have scrambled shit in their heads and cant understand the reality of what is right in front of their eyes. He is an ‘asylum seeker’, not a savage invader there to rape their children, cut their throats and steal all of their shit. He’s just a poor unfortunate fellow there to get a taste of the good life.
If they dont pull their heads out of their asses, hang their pols, and fight back they are doomed. What a shame.

He isnt wrong.
Caitlyn Taylor, 17, was in Destin with her high school softball team for a tournament when she was bitten on her leg in the Gulf of Mexico, the Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Department confirmed to the Courier-Journal. While she was being bitten, the quick-thinking teen punched the five-foot-long shark back, according to authorities.
I would run this story into the ground as hard as I could.
Job interviewer: Tell us about the scariest time and how you handled it.
Taylor: I was bitten by a shark, and punched it in the face
Mugger: give me your wallet!
Taylor: I punched a fucking shark in the face, you think I won’t fuck up your day?
I can’t think of a scenario where I wouldn’t bring this up constantly.
I punched a bull once. Was a dumb idea though.
Once again, Mythbusters proves to be the most useful show on TV.
My ex boss and her family just got back from Destin a week ago. I bet she’s freaking out
I was surprised it was destin and not new Smyrna. Destine has crystal clear water, so it’s unusual for a shark to mistakenly bite a human there.
I got yer featured hot babe right here.

Still might not be hairy enough for your tastes, but Turks, so…
Hello Ahmet!! (the guy in the third pic…wowzah)
Yeah, if it’s not a sport you’re already following you should start. Or just GIS it now and then to remind yourself that there is good in the world.
I frequent Zen Box, a very good Japanese restaurant. I always sit at their counter, right in front of the TV. It’s always tuned to the Japanese channel (NHK). A few visits back they channel had Sumo wrestling. I’m like, I don’t need to see this while I’m eating.

The shocking thing I learned today. Susan Rice (filed in my brain as “Obama’s lying lady”) is married to an ABC News Executive Producer. Almost makes you think their might be some sleazy connections between the DNC and mainstream media.
Funny. I actually think ABC is the least worst of the ancient 3. Nationally and locally.
A family tree/org chart of people in public life generally would have a surprising (or unsurprising) number of connections.
That’s nothing. Ben Rhodes brother was head of CBS news.

http://www.redstate.com/jaycaruso/2017/04/04/dear-cnn-why-former-obama-appointee-reporting-susan-rice-revelation/
Having read several articles about this scandal, I’m still not sure I completely understand it. Did Rice just ask for the identities of people referred to in reports who were unidentified in those reports? I guess I’m failing to see the big outrage in this.
There were no reports until she had them created for political purposes. These were routine intercepts by the NSA of foreign communications. Rice had all of the US names associated with Trump unmasked and compiled on a spreadsheet so she could use the information for political purposes.
Then, after Hillary lost the election (in spite of all of the ridiculously unfair advantages she had; let’s call it cheating), they had all of this information classified at a lower level where it could be much more easily leaked, but not easily refuted. All to delegitimize the lawfully elected incoming president.
I’m having delayed schadenfreude thinking about Rice and others that were shitting themselves Nov 8 & 9 as it became clear they were going to be bounced out on the street and the ones they had been fucking with were going to hold the ropes for a while. And the low level shitheels that realize their new bosses were the ones they had just been complicit in trying to screw.
These people don’t get it. They’re Ropers, every last one of them. As soon as all the polite fictions and traditions get shitcanned, the next change in power isn’t going to be cleaning out desks, they’re going to march people down to the basement and put a fucking bullet in heads. None of this screwing around with leaks and shit. Dead fucking bodies.
yes she did. and it would have been illegal if not for recent rule-changes.
but then, its probably still illegal since there is no underlying crime being investigated which would have merited unmasking US nationals. Which raises the question what the basis for the surveillance requests were in the first place.
and then it is most definitely and indisputably illegal that these unmasked reports were intentionally distributed to people who had no security clearance. (e.g. the press, political flunkies)
as with most things like this, there’s like 3 or more layers of legality that need explaining. what the press will obviously do is simply focus on one of them and say, “BUT IT WAS LEGAL”, ignoring all the ways it wasn’t.

For a city so proud of its beer culture, Munich still has kinda shitty beer. This may seem controversial but true nontheless
When I take my German beer trip, I am going zoigl hunting in the Upper Palatinate.
Also, for my Belgian beer trip, I am going to detour to the alt stadt in Dusseldorf.
Munich is 3rd on my German beer trips list.
And I still think you are nuts.
the most interesting beer i had in Bavaria was one made by Inselbrau on Frauenlinsel im Chiemsee island. The best by a brewery called Camba. But whenever I come here I am take on the company dime to Augustiner Keller or Paulaner Nockherberg or both and it is always kinda meh. But hey free beer.
I wouldn’t go to Munich for “interesting” beer. Come to the US for that. But solid, well made, tasty beer? Yeah, Munich will have that.
That said, getting off the touristy path would probably help a lot.
That’s the thing. German beer is traditional. Germans like it that way and the law pretty much requires it.
Getting off the touristy path in general is a good idea.
Unless there’s wildflowers involved, of course.
We killed all the good ones in the war.
On the off-chance that you might have been regaining a smidgen of faith in humanity, this should put that to rest.
Effing self-centered idiots.
This is not news. Women love killing flowers.
the wildflowers had it coming
Flower Lives Matter
I’m still bummed I didn’t make time to head east for the superbloom.
I’m going on Friday. I’m going somewhere a little more off the beaten path, though.
Go on…
Not sure. I’ll be at Desert Springs from Friday to Friday.
At the very least, I’m going up the tram and doing the loop, going to the waterfall at the Indian Canyons, and hiking the fault at mission creek. I’m going to ask around to see where what best blooms are before I go looking for flowers.
To boldly trample where no man has trampled before!
I’ll just leave this here.
Is it normal to involuntarily shudder every time I see that bitch’s photo?
I’d be worried if you didn’t.
Shit, my shudders increase in intensity each time I see her.
And I’m Canadian!
Depends… are you shuddering because you climaxed?
And now I’m dry heaving too. Thanks!

From the “no shit” department: Rent control makes Toronto affordability worse, not better, CIBC says
Comments, of course, are a true delight.
I don’t understand rent control. Is it bad because it actual prevents housing from opening up?
Like any price ceiling, it causes shortages.
Thank you.
And squatters.
Look at any place with rent control. NY, SF, Berkeley, Santa Monica…
It’s very expensive and very shitty.
If it weren’t for rent control, though, all new development would stop and only billionaires could afford to live in the city. At least that’s what advocates of rent control actually seem to believe.
It makes rental housing far less profitable than for-sale housing, so rentals don’t get built/purposed.
LA LA LA … I refuse to accept reality, you can’t make me … LA LA LA
Did I capture the comments about right?
Anyone who opposes rent control just wants people to be homeless. There are huge profit margins in that!
You forgot “banks are evil”.
Yep, laws that force developers to build certain things and laws that tell them what to charge. I’ll bet this guy thinks of himself as an “antifascist.”
Love buzzwords like one percenter.
Fuck off slaver.

This kind of thing drives me nuts. How many years and real life examples does it take for reality to smack the “reality based” community into understanding even the simplest economic and good governance principles.
Adam Smith
Given that a vast majority of the over 300,000 immigrants that are admitted into this country a year end up in Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal and two out of three of these cities are have housing affordability crisis. Just Google news to search “Vancouver, Toronto, rent, housing, affordability”
Also see: http://www12.statcan.gc.ca/nhs-enm/2011/as-sa/99-010-x/99-010-x2011001-eng.cfm
Based on the above facts Ottawa’s immigration quota needs to be lowered to provide relieve to Canadians facing housing affordability problems.
That’s an interesting view. I thought all the racists were down south in America.

It still amazes me how much the Clinton campaign had the deck stacked and still lost. It was like the Warriors, Falcons and Indians championship loses but better.

How did the Falcons have the deck stacked?
Well you see they were supposed to be the ANTI Trump team and well.

Heh. I’m kind of joking, but I won’t click on S*n links. Part of being a Liverpool fan.
What’s up with Mane? Last I read he may be gone for the season. Which means we’ll have to hope Origi can fill his shoes (which he can’t) or Coutinho can just go nuts with Firmino and Sturridge (possible).
Either way, Everton are a bunch of dirty cunts.
Missed this earlier. His knee’s too swollen to be sure either way, but I’d be surprised if he wasn’t out for the season.
And Everton are a bunch of dirty cunts. Every friggin year they manage to injure a striker.
Way too busy recently. At least some of it was skiing, though!

Wasn’t Clinton predicted to have 97% odds of winning?
Man that number is a total meme.
98% I think. That’s what HuffPo (?) was saying when they were talking about how dumb that Nate Silver was for giving Trump a 30% chance of winning.
This is the best timeline.
Hi All, fairly new lurker from TSTSNBN, that came around moments before TDS kicked in. Been lurking here for a bit and thought I’d come out of the shadows.
If the powers that be are interested, I’d like to present the tribe with a kill. AKA, I’m willing to do a review / commentary on the first episode of this shitty podcast, which somebody posted here awhile ago but didn’t have the stones to listen to.
Go for it!
I forget if you’re one of the Powers That Be. I don’t want to do it if you guys don’t want the article. It might only be half an hour long, but, it’s painful all the way through. I listened to about half of it at one point before my gf made me shut it off.
I am not.*peasant fist bump*
Just submit it, who knows?
You’ve convinced me with your peasant solidarity. If you never hear from me again, the second half of the podcast was somehow worse than the first and I’ve likely been locked up in a psych ward.
(looks at description)
(shudders)
You’re intending to …critique this?
they actually provide full-text of their podcasts
the only thing that instantly rubs me the wrong was is this “person of color” bs. It seems to want to pretend there’s some important shared experience between, say, an Indian Bengali, a Korean-American, and a black guy from Trinidad
I listened to the first half of it already. It’s pretty much a boring, steaming pile of shit. It’s not like Shika levels of dumb, but it’s pretty bad. I was listening with my gf, and it took us a long time to get through it because pretty much every sentence was some stupid statement that was trivially easy to prove wrong. She’s a lot newer to the prog derp than I am, and made me turn it off after 15 minutes as it was hurting her brain.
I figure I can mine it for some amusing stupidity.

Yeah, I’m really curious about that rope that pulled him into the chipper.
Meh on the girl fighting off the shark. It was just taste testing her. It bugged off probably because it wasn’t that hungry and she didn’t taste very good. An earnest bite would have done a hell of a lot more damage. She’s lucky as hell, thats all.
Why you want to ruin her story. That’ll be good for years.
So _not_ smelling like fish saved her from being eaten out?
*scowls, then begins reluctant applause*
I know. My joke was… *dons sunglasses* …tasteless.
Oh, sure. If this was a man you’d be saying he’s a hero. ADMIT IT.

Anyone wants to go surfing at high tide off the beaches of Recife, Brazil, I will gladly sit on the shore and watch with beer in hand.
I was reading about that. I had never heard of shark attacks in Brazil but apparently when they put in the new port they screwed up the local ecology and now bulls and tigers hang out right off shore.
Sharks are my one big fear. I am fucking terrified of sharks. Since I live in Arizona this doesn’t come up very often but I also scuba dive occasionally so it isn’t completely out of my mind either. If a big shark came up on me while I was down I would probably shit directly into my wetsuit.
It’s about 8 degrees south of the equator. And there’s something about the topography of the area that makes it very attractive to huge great whites. I’t one of the top 10 most notorious shark attack areas on earth. It might have something to do with 3 rivers emptying into the ocean right there with the warm currents. The low tide forms tidal pools of bathtub warm water. At high tide it is well known to all the locals that you DO NOT go into the water because the natural reef (recife = reef in Portuguese) is submerged, letting predators near the shore. I remember a few years back when we were down there, a surfer at high tide was just swallowed by a huge great white, with witnesses, they didn’t even find any remains.
Also, calls to mind the Steve Irwin event.
May he RIP.
I remember he told one of his camera crew that if he ever died doing his wildlife shots, it would be in the ocean.
He wasn’t wrong.
And yet rays are very non-aggressive in general. That particular one did not care for Steve hovering over him, and maybe not the camera crews and lights. Wild animals are unpredictable.
Steve seems to have been a good guy, and his family a great group.
It’s funny how casual the shark was, like the shark is thinking, “ok, pal, interview’s over, we’re late for dinner, let’s go.”
In case you’ve been wondering about how we’re going to fix this healthcare debacle. Look north, Murikans! Canada has the answer! Gawd, it’s been right on our doorstep all of this time, how could we be so blind!?

Don’t blame me for my son Stan. He saw the darn cartoon and now he’s off to join the Klan.
Our single-payer model — marked by a lack of competition, market-based pricing, and patient choice — has contributed to one of the most expensive and least effective health-care systems in the industrialized world.
