And speaking of assholes:


...give it to ’em good and hard, in perpetua.  Not that I care:  I’m long gone.


...probably should have stuck to her backyard, and not taken it to the streets.


...when telling the truth is dangerous, is it time to start the hangings?  Asking for a friend.


...key phrase:  “active volcano”.


...given the generation and nationality, I’m amazed that it’s as high as 53%.


...what was the middle bit, again?


...key word:  India.


...thus devaluing their “brand”, but if they don’t care, why should I?


...but only partially so:  it’s going to be a long hard slog.


...amazingly, not in Australia.


...I think that any complaints of this nature from prisoners should be ignored, just on principle.


...which means that I’ve had long Covid for over 30 years.


...I can think of a dozen, without even trying.


...off to the 7pm shift at the docks, would be my guess.

And in link-free INSIGNIFICA:

     

And in more ShowBiz News:


...considering that it’s quite possibly the best TV show ever made (never mind just comedy), that’s not surprising.


...not that we need much excuse to look at the delectable Mariska:

And that’s it for the news;  now get on with your lives.

Signs Of The Coming Eucalyptus

Ah, FFS.  First the Jag F-type, now this:

Rolls-Royce has finally taken the wraps off its first fully electric car as the sleek and silent Spectre goes on sale from today to super-rich customers who want to be greener.

The new Spectre – which has undergone thousands of miles of testing under a camouflage skin disguise – has a mighty 577 horsepower (430kW) with two electric motors – one driving each axle – propelling the near 3 tonne vehicle from 0 to 60mph in just 4.4 seconds and up to a top speed expected to be limited to 155mph.

But it also has a significant full-charge range of up to 320 miles – enough to drive from London to just north of Newcastle, with zero-emissions from the tailpipe…

Wait for it…

…although it will use plenty of energy potentially created with fossil fuels elsewhere to do that journey.

Okay, so let the Ultra-Rich Wokistas (e.g. David Fucking Beckham) and Watermelon politicos (like Nancy Bitch Pelosi) drive these stupid things, while the rest of us can be left alone to drive cars and trucks powered by internal combustion engines.

Although if there’s anything of which we can be absolutely certain, it’s that they won’t be satisfied until we’re all lumbered with fucking Duracell cars.

...yep, if there’s going to be raping, it’s better to have the official peacekeepers do it.

your guy couldn’t wait, huh? The background story is even funnier.

Okay, I was going to post some pics of Paige Spirinac because, well, Paige Spirinac.  However, in my travels through The Intarwebz, I happened upon someone named Taylor Cusack, so in the interests of Diversiteh:

And that’s all the news from the world of golf.  But aaaaaargh wait:


...this calls for some drastic action.

etc.

Different Planet

I see this little snippet:

Prices paid by U.S. households surged higher in September as a wide range of goods and services became more expensive.

Prices rose 8.2 percent compared with a year earlier, the latest Consumer Price Index showed on Tuesday, evidence that the price stability sought by the Federal Reserve remains an elusive and distant destination.

…and I ask myself:  where the hell does that 8.2% come from?

Way I see it, inflation should be measured across categories which hit the average person the hardest:  food, fuel and utilities (FFU).  All the rest are pretty much non-essential, other than in an emergency situation.

In my case, when I scrutinize my budgeted vs. actual expenses spreadsheet, the FFU inflation is running at about 23%, comparing the latest two months of this year’s expenditures to the same two months of last year.  Gasoline costs, of course, are about 28% higher, even with me cutting back on my driving;  food is about 20% higher (once again, “buying down” in terms of quality/quantities), and utilities are about 15% higher (and Aug/Sep was actually warmer in 2021 than this year).

None of the above is even close to the “8.2%” (LOL) that all these shitheads are talking about.

We are being lied to, and I really don’t like it.
