News Roundup

But what brings on B.O. quicker than anything?  HOT WEATHER!  Which means:


...and when the temperature doesn’t increase in three years’ time, can we flog these scientists (and journalists) in public for unnecessarily spreading fear and panic?  And if that isn’t bad enough:


...it could happen in 10,000 years’ time, or it could happen tomorrow.  Now THAT’S what I call a precise prediction.


...to which I say:

In other words, if you feel threatened by beer (or scientists for that matter), drink gin.

Time for some / ?  I think it is.


...and then should arrest all the orgs’ staff for funding civil unrest.


...and quite rightly so.  They encourage the lawlessness, let them pay for it.  Feel free to charge them for the cost of National Guard deployment, for extra budgetary pleasure.


...why carry on with the wall if they’re not coming in?  For the benefit of future non-MAGA presidential administrations.


...we’re not shooting them dead in the streets when we find them, are we?  That’s about as humane as we should be prepared to go.  (see next item)


...I dunno, I thought they did a pretty good job back in the ’70s at Kent State.


...you mean they’re not getting the free education that they shouldn’t be getting in the first place?

...nothing to see here, move along.  And:


...I was hoping for three-thirds, but this is a good start.  Transfer all the cuttees to ICE, where they’ll actually be useful.

In Justice News:


...if I may make a humble suggestion, then:


...now that’s gratitude for ya.  Feel free to remove this rapist by including him on the flight above.


...the cops are probably Republicans, and thought: “Democrats killing Democrats? ”

And now, some unlinked

...nope, I have no familiarity with the dramatis personae either.

And in our wanderings down :


...not that we’ve never seen La Sharon’s surgical creations before, but hey:

And a couple of the other pics from the shoot:

And on that artistic vision of sexual harassment, we’ll end it all.

Electric U-Turn

Someone else sees the light:

Audi has become the latest auto manufacturer to perform a dramatic U-turn on its electric vehicle commitments, writing off its promised to stop developing internal combustion engines (ICE) in 2033.

Instead, the Bavarian-based marque will continue to make both ICE cars and plug-in hybrids into the next decade, as part of a ‘completely new’ fuel-powered line-up.

CEO Gernot Döllner confirmed the brand’s revised plans, explaining that ‘flexibility’ is the new direction Audi will take so it can see how ‘markets develop’.

The German car giant had originally planned to build its last ICE-only car next year with the new-generation Q7. However, it suggested earlier this year that petrol and diesel models could run for longer.

Stupid assholes thought they could buy credibility with the wokerati Greens by putting a deadline on the eeeevil fuel-powered engines, despite all the writing on the wall indicating that EVs are not popular in the mass market, that there are serious concerns about the “green-ness” of the EV when the total energy cost of their manufacture is taken into account and not just their eco-friendliness on the road.

And speaking of “on the road”, there’s always this little EV problem:


…and the fact that the EV fires are almost inextinguishable (and can re-ignite even after they are extinguished), and give off toxic smoke.

Yeah… I can’t imagine why a company might want to rethink their position, either.

The fact of the matter is that the auto companies should never have drawn that line in the sand in the first place.

In the meantime, here are a few pics to make us all feel better about this.

There;  I told you it would make you feel better.

Flawed Methodology

Some lofty survey has ranked the top universities in the world, so go ahead and look at it — if you think that universities per se  are worth more than a minute of your time.

However, before you do that, know that “sustainability” was one of the measures applied.

Wot dat?  you ask.

Sustainability is measured in two ways: the commitment of the institution to “the climate crisis” and how its research aligns with the climate goals of the United Nations.

Those of you who think that this should be a negative factor in the ranking methodology, raise your hands.

Yeah, that’s me in Row JJ Seat 24.

Quote Of The Day

From Insty:

“We have an awful lot of illegal aliens in the country, plenty of whom could be Iranian sleeper agents and some of whom certainly are. Are there enough to do anything significant? Who knows? Is there anyone left in the Iranian leadership capable of ordering something like that? Possibly not.

“But if you sometimes carry a gun, the next couple of weeks should be among those times.” 

What he said.  I can only add:  “…with a couple of extra mags.”

And carry it all the time, not just sometimes.

Monday Funnies

And the weekly diary entry:

So on to the things wot makes us laff.

Apparently, this is an actual announcement.  I dunno, man… electing a pansexual socialist — and y’all thought David Hogg was a stretch?

It’s going to be kinda tough to top that.  Still:

Ahhh Monica.  She’s in her fifties now, you know:

Have to say that if ever Monica’s short of cash, an OnlyFans account might be be quite profitable.
