I wonder how small a form-factor an “airborne directed energy weapon” can be packed into. Will drones with frickin’ laser beams make the manned air superiority fighter obsolete, hopefully saving us trillions on the F-next process.
Both my kids have a stomach flu. So they’re basically running around depositing vomit in random locations in my house like puke-Roombas. Hope your day is going better.
Randomly
In which, Kevin D. Williamson proves he’s secretly a Glibertarians reader and ripping off contributor jesse.in.mb. (Dear NRO, we are simply being glib. We agree with our lawyers that no actual intellectual appropriation happened and Mr. Williamson is probably actually ignorant of our little site. We hope your lawyers will similarly remain ignorant. Yours in poverty, the Glibertarian Team)
The most disproportionately popular job in each state. You’ll never guess what Florida is! (Hooray for raw clickbait. Too bad we don’t advertise)
This has the potential to be the Glibertarians version of the Cleveland Browns joke. (Don’t be let down)
Netflix users have watched half a billion hours of Adam Sandler. Hopefully 400 million or so were of this. (I wish Chris Farley had lived and David Spade had died)
For your own safety, if any law enforcement group outside of Berkeley offers symbolic arrests, decline. (Especially in Florida)
Gratuitous Kate Upton crawling around. (song may be triggering)
I think I’d like to be a regionally successful musician in Austin who can get Rodriguez to direct and produce a fun music video for me in my next life.
As if being a single, ginger prince helicopter pilot with a better hairline than the rest of his family, now Prince Harry ticks the vulnerable box, too. Maybe this will signal new national pastimes besides getting shit-housed any excuse.
Let me pile on and say that political street fighting is a bad thing. Everyone likes to joke that it will be short-lived because one side has all the weapons but having gangs fighting over things in the streets is literally what civil government is designed to prevent. If we can’t do that right, let’s just go full anarchy.
Artist of “Charging Bull” sculpture sues over addition of “Fearless Girl”. One hopes that if he wins (and I’m not really sure he has much of a case), we’ll be treated to some burly workmen hitting the girl statue with a sledge hammer or some other progressive-outrage-inducing image.
Somebody needs to get these guys a pallet of Twinkies and a pallet of Mountain Dew
. Fat man competition in Ethiopia. They look pretty fit with potbellies to me.
Oh look, this cop has been taking lessons from the same book the cops who attacked Sloopy’s mom. My local PD stopped me around Christmas and gave me a free ham for using the crosswalk.
South Korea seeks to assure citizens that the US will not strike North Korea preemptively. I can’t decide which Animal House clip will be more correct at this time next year — (A) or (B)
Lol, can’t tell whether Notorious RBG is senile or just fired off a sick burn.
How we can blame Canada for AGW! Any of my professors would have chewed my ass if I submitted that first chart on an assignment.
How crazy was 2016? The Cubs raised the Championship flag for 2016 last night. As someone who cheered the Cardinals during my stint in IL, this hurt to watch.
If you only work on your malware during the traditional workday, Symantec thinks you’re a CIA hacker. But you could be the Walter White of hacking.
Happy Monday. Sloopy got his pool painted, I’m getting someone out to handle mine. Because although I have a degree in Chemical Engineering, I don’t care to fuck with it when someone else can handle it cheap. Specialization, its not just for insects!
Wells Fargo will be taking $75M back from former executives who fostered a culture of fraud. Funny, no word about the key bad player seeing any sort of legal consequences.
I think Lord Humungus will be safe from this — I can’t even say it with a straight face– hybrid Ford High Speed Police Interceptor. I’m sorry, but the Ford Fusion will never strike terror into my heart.
Of all the bad ideas I’ve heard about US-Iran relations, backing the Shah’s son for a return to Iran may be the worst.
Whoa, shit, did I set the alarm clock too early? Bears in Sierras confused at all the white stuff on the ground as they emerge from hibernation. I blame AGW.
In case you cis-workers needed another excuse to shirk work, leave early, and drink beer, beloved commenter Jimbo (of the non-papal variety) reminds us that it is National Beer day. Whether you drink the mass-produced rice beer of the megacorp, or your own lovingly crafted homebrew, have one for a good cause.
Happy Beer Day!
Before you get too buzzed, here’s a nice piece about Hayek, collective knowledge, and why government interventionism never works.
Visiting Auschwitz recently I was struck not by the “industrialisation” of death – it is a surprisingly low-tech place – but the “nationalisation” of death: the bureaucratic central planning and meticulous hierarchical organisation of mass murder: it takes a government to do an Auschwitz.
Speaking of governments killing people, the US fired cruise missiles at Syria. A part of me hopes that this is the fig-leaf cover of “doing something” that the US has long committed to do when NBC weapons are deployed by anyone, anywhere. The rest of me thinks Trump just shoved America’s wang back in the meat-grinder. And as a Florida man, that concerns me.
Seattle’s mayor apparently liked helping troubled teenage boys back in the ’80s. By buying them crack and paying for sex. As libertarians, we don’t get too stirred up about voluntary transactions of money for sex or drugs, but I do wonder if the Seattle Times would have waited until the fourth sub-hed to mention his party affiliation if he wasn’t a Democrat.
…And Tim Tebow is once again in the news for after hitting a homerun in his single A debut at-bat. He’s just so gee-whiz and nice. If he weren’t a Gator who had a good career in college mashing my beloved Seminoles, I’d be a fan. (Autoplay warning)
I hope everyone has a great day. Here’s a little something to get you rockin’.
Happy Wednesday! I have many fewer boxes in my house and in a much better mood. Also, the pool refinishers aren’t going to rape me with STEVE SMITH’s dick, so its a good day!
It looks like Susan Rice will be playing Wile E. Coyote, Supergenius to Trump’s Roadrunner in the 2nd go-around of Republican presidents are dangerous morons who keep not losing to the Democrats.
But then again, Steve Bannon just got the boot from the NSC, and took a dig at the aforementioned Ms. Rice on his way out. And Rick Perry is in? Will he bring his famously sharp memory to bear on issues of National Security? Who knows, but at least we’ll know who the leaker isn’t.
Gorsuch edited an article that might have plagiarized some information once. HuffPo asked, “Why do Republicans keep nominating people accused of plagiarism?” Although the plagiarism accusations are (a) always leveled after and (b) not as serious as Joe Biden’s.
It’s Monday, I’m still up to my ass in boxes from a move (Thanks to Swiss and ZARDOZ for picking up the slack), and I’m grumpy. I will catbutt anyone who posts a link that I already posted. RTFLs!
I think all libertarians (glib, yokel, comso, and furries) can agree that being fired from a Federal job for violating the rules should not include 30 days of paid leave.
One can only imagine how much pancake it takes to choke a Catholic girl.
Remember, just one more law can stop domestic violence. Unless the cops tell you to stop calling 911.
Tesla passes Ford in market cap. One makes 25,000 trucks a week, the other 25,000 cars a quarter. I know, I know, the market can stay irrational longer than a rational man can stay solvent.
