Monkey With A Shell

You’ll never guess who they are!

DVD? walks my pet dinosaur out of the room

Really though, Labyrinth is the one that comes to mind.

I’m not shocked but highly dismayed that they manage to be a positive number at all.

I wonder, just as a thought exercise, what would happen if they ended up decertifying the election. I would presume some do-over eventually, if anyone could trust the system any more, but in the meantime do you just rewind the last couple months and decide it didn’t happen?

Reality doesn’t actually consist of an unending torrent of bullshit drowning people in misery, that’s just what sells in the media and outrage algorithms.

Sometimes people like to see a win in their life rather than be told it’s all going to hell.

And we have a congress willing to bow down and kiss the ring of a madman at the helm on all of our behalf.

It used to be said that Marie Antoinette was so out of touch as to say when the starving peasants have no bread to “let them eat cake”, and that the people took quite poorly to that response. I wonder what the gold plated halls of Trump tower will look like when he makes the same mistake.

Despite being comprised of similar letters Lemmy and LLM are not interchangeable…

Thanks Mr. And Mrs. Magat, you’ve done wonders for screwing over your kids and grandkids once again.

Neighbor here has one of those for her kids with an adapter to plug in batteries from Ryobi tools. Nice idea if you have a stack of batteries around already that can be swapped on the fly.

The fuck they do. I had to go hunt down some tool grooming and using my kid at that age. A lack of confidence and want of external validation are powerful drivers to do stupid things that can have massive life changing impacts.

Why is it that a comedy news show is about the most courageous thing on these days?

Similar to the case where he was convicted of multiple felonies and given (checks notes) not even a slap on the wrist?

Tech people are prone to self created superstitions largely because that was the process someone did before and it worked, and nobody knows why, but damned if we’re going to change it and risk it not working now.

Never let personnel and operational security get in the way of a good ego stroking…

He’ll definitely tweet nasty things at them if they don’t.

I have no clue, just that golf course the orange muppet spends a lot of time at.

I hereby rename ‘Mar A Lago’ to the ‘Moore of Legos’. Visitors are also here by prohibited from wearing shoes while in the facility to demonstrate their toughness and fealty to the lord of plastic bricks…

It makes about as much sense as anything these days.

The first of those should fail under free speech, so long as it doesn’t call for overt harm the proposal of a boycott would be similar to arguing against a political candidate.

The second would be difficult to argue unless the company had a formal procurement process that mandated bids and specific rules it could be said they went against.

The last is more classic racist denial and could certainly be prosecuted, but somewhat turns the tables in that the provider is refusing service to a potential client.

I forget the outcome of the ‘gay wedding cakes’ case from a while back, but the general argument is that while a vendor should serve all valid customers equally, a client need not give equal chance to a vendor who they disagree with the policies of.

How do you ban a boycott? Forced consumption?
