182 more liberal bullshit


The propaganda is flowing, and the censors are moving out of the shadows. Or so says a friend on the right.

And a friend on the left.

As we move closer to November 3rd, we're getting agitated by pretty much everyone.

The most effective lies are the ones based on a little bit of truth.

But really, is this what we're arguing about? Semantics?

Or is there something else going on?

Why are we so upset?

Could it be we see the writing on the wall? All of our macho posturing is failing us?

And the only way to prove that we still "have it" is by taking "it" violently from others?

"A five letter fuck you."

Actually, tombstones are quite expensive. The whole funeral industry, really. We have learned this the hard way.

But what if, what if, all the propaganda, on all sides, was, you know, not really accurate?

What if the real story was rich people have been grabbing as much as they can for about fifty years?

And feeding us some jingoistic crap about patriotism and, I dunno, this idea that somehow you're going to wind up like them, stacking benjamins, even though they have you by the balls and are squeezing?

What if?


And what effort? Honestly, what does a better America look like? Or have we gone past that point? Are we just looking to salvage some kind of functional America? Something other than...

This from a recently-un-convicted man with Richard Nixon's face tattooed on his back, who led the "Brooks Brothers Riot" to stop the recount in Florida in 2000 and force Bush2 into office?

In the world of "up is down" the next move is to stoke violence while complaining that your opponents are stoking violence.

Liberal Heather Cox-Richardson, a legit historian, doesn't think the violence will go big time.

Unlike, say, this government spokesperson with a quarter billion dollar advertising budget...

Aimed at not-creating-panic...


Sounds like more liberal bullshit.

Why do they want to take our freedom? 

Is it because they are baby-eating satanists?

That makes sense, actually. The whole pro-choice thing, the kneeling, all of it... It's all part of a conspiracy to take my guns and make me buy a hybrid.

Hybrids are for pussies. 

(For the record, I think hybrids save on gas money, and pussies are awesome.)

There's a doctor at one of our concentration camps in Georgia who disagrees with me. And we the people are paying him to mutilate women.

Sounds like more liberal bullshit.

Guys, I am going to cry so hard in this movie.

The trailer already brought me to tears.

Although, honestly, it sounds like more liberal bullshit.

Is this liberal bullshit, or conservative bullshit, or just a good idea?

And finally, some good news.

If we fuck this up really badly, it's looking a lot like we're not alone.

Somehow life will find a way, even if it means living in clouds on Venus, eating acid and shitting phosphene.

Probably more liberal bullshit.

Where to start? With a drip. Due to a recent large bill for two pieces of plastic pipe and a valve, I have become interested in learning more about pex plumbing. Like many things in the US, this more efficient way of doing things is having a slow takeoff.  Why? Because existing building codes, laws created by localities, have been slow to change, sticking with the tried and true rather than adapting to new technology. This is true on many fronts. After recently riding the train cross country, I arrived in the town I grew up in. Above is a bit of information from the town zoning laws, stating businesses are not allowed to have exterior displays of their products.  This runs counter to everything modern "new urban" planners have found: to create a vibrant retail presence, stores want to invite shoppers inside by displaying their goods outside. But really, it seems like everything is upside down. Above is a classic piec...

At top, a bicycle built for golf. Mid-drive, even. Kinda spendy at $7k, but this is golf. Apparently they're selling.  We're talking about Bikes and Batteries today. This is a, um, what was this?  Right, a swappable battery.  Sounds a lot like a dorado battery with a new design. Having uniform parts between different manufacturers will help us consumers. (Imagine if your car only worked with one brand of gasoline.) So this thinking is in the right direction-ish. Throw a golf bag holder on the front and they could charge more. ;) There's gold in them thar batteries. (Or at least some rare earth minerals.) The question is, how do we get them out, and then back in?  At least we can haul them about in this.  It's funny how some designs look bad while others look good. In my eye, that's a pretty good looking box for moving other boxes.  ...

Omicron is here. In less than a month, it has gone from zero cases in the US, to 73% of cases as of this past weekend. At top is San Francisco, below is New York State. The good news is, if you're vaccinated, you might not get too sick. The bad news is, there's a pretty good chance we're all going to get sick in this one. Here's NYC, where you can see omicron is making the curve from March 2020 look small. Or else, lockdown. I'm not a doctor, or an expert. Here's what I've picked up about omicron: 1. It is more transmissible . At least twice as easily spread as the Delta variant of SARS-CoV-2. They say it's on the level of measles, the most easily spread virus we know. 2. It seems to have borrowed some tricks from the common cold. Literally, according to at least one report I've read, most of the spike protein mutations in Omicron match directly to the common cold, an...
