Do you need someone to hold your coat while you wield the axe, or would I be more useful hosing down the place after you’re done?
Just tryin’ to be helpful here, Boss.

Funniest Headline Of The Week
From last Friday:
Well, if Black Lives Matter, Pink Pussyhats and Earth First members aren’t going to step up after a catastrophe, then someone has to.
And just a little note to the Daily Fail: the Patriot Front isn’t a “white supremacist” organization, even though the Anti-Defamation League may think so. (Irony Alert: labeling the PF “white supremacist” is per ipso pretty much defamatory.)
Then there’s this:
Militia groups, such as Patriot Front, are reportedly using the devastating hurricanes to push a narrative about a failed or corrupt government hurricane response.
It’s not just “militia groups” who are calling the federal government’s response inadequate and pathetic; it’s just about everyone who isn’t a Lefty asshole.
And we haven’t even started to discuss how the Fedgov’s agencies are blocking privately-funded aid and -supplies from reaching those ravaged areas…
Apology Universe
I fear that we are becoming a world full of apologetics. Why? Try this one on for size:
The ad, which shows a black woman on her wedding day marrying a white man, has caused controversy for allegedly pushing racist stereotypes.
The image shows a white mother and father, presumed to be the mother and father of the white groom. It also shows a black woman, presumed to be the mother of the bride.
However, commuters and social media users were outraged that the bride did not have a father pictured in the snap.
Yeah… Black fathers being so notable for their appearance and involvement in their offsprings’ lives.
Actually, there’s a very simple explanation for the picture’s composition: they’re creating a central point of interest for the product, which means there can only be three or five characters (odd numbers, there being no midpoint in even numbers).
Why did they leave out Black Daddy, as opposed to any of the other parents? Your guess is as good as mine.
But it sure as hell is no reason for an apology, just as there is no reason to see “Black stereotypes” behind every fucking bush and every poxy door.
If we’re going to go with racial stereotypes to apologize for, here’s what we’re talking about:
Smelling salts available at all good drugstores.
Much Ado
So people are getting bent out of shape yet again by a sequel to an already-shitty movie about cartoon characters?
Oy. Talk about a typhoon in a teacup.
And “folie à deux”? (shared lunacy or psychosis, e.g. the Climate Apocalypticals) Adding a pretentious title to what appears to be an abysmally bad movie is not gonna help the box-office receipts grow any larger, folks.
Fucking morons. I hope Hollywood crashes and burns, along with most of its denizens.
Wrong Priorities
Well, isn’t that special:
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas admitted on Wednesday that “FEMA does not have the funds to make it through the season.” One reason for that is that under Biden-Harris, FEMA spent $650 million this fiscal year providing services and housing to illegal aliens. And $364 million the year before that.
If you thought the Federal Emergency Management Agency was just in the business of providing relief to Americans of all creeds and colors when disaster strikes, let’s just say that the Biden-Harris administration has broadened the agency’s portfolio to include non-emergency aid to folks who aren’t even supposed to be here.
And:
Imagine blowing your family’s rainy day money on a down payment for a car you can’t properly afford. You tell yourself you’ll put the money back before the next rainy day crisis comes along. But before you do, a hailstorm takes out your roof.
That’s how the government spends your money because when the hailstorm hits and there’s not enough money for the insurance deductible, they aren’t the ones who have to suffer.
In any other circumstances, there’d be some kind of consequence (e.g. hanging) for mis-allocation of government funds that end up endangering the lives of citizens, but these are the times we live in.

Big Auto, Big Brother
Yesterday, I talked about wanting to own a pre-digital car — i.e. one that doesn’t fucking spy on your every move.
I often wonder what car or cars I’d get to replace the Tiguan, and what’s interesting is that I’m having precisely the same feelings that I have with guns and watches: nothing of recent manufacture at all — especially given that they’re all without exception loaded with electronic gizmos I don’t care for, or else gizmos that spy on you and/or could possibly be used to control your driving. In fact, the more I think about it, I’d probably have to go back to pre-1970s cars — fully resto-modded of course — to find a car that has not a single computer chip in its driving operation.
Here’s a business opportunity, because this is America. (I don’t have the technical skills or capital to follow through on this but I’ll just throw it out there.) Is it possible to turn your car into a mobile Faraday cage? And would it be possible to turn the feature on and off?
I know, car companies and / or the godless insurance industry would probably use their lawyers and lobbyists to outlaw this, just as law enforcement tried to prevent speed-radar scanners, but it’s worth a shot. With a switchable cage, the insurance companies couldn’t exactly deny you coverage or raise your rates if all the data showed was you doing trips to the supermarket once a week.
It’s time for us to fight back against this nonsense, and to borrow an expression: rage against the machine — the machine, in this case, being Big Brother cars, the cunts who make them and sell your data, the even-bigger cunts who strip-mine your personal data, and and the last category of cunts who use your personal data against you.)
I feel a mega-rant coming on, but instead I’ll just go to the range.
And just to make you feel better, if my car was spying on me it could report said destination to… well, anyone who might be interested in such data. Makes you think, dunnit?
