Looks like everybody had a great time again this year! I haven’t made it out for this event recently, but will try again next year. Definitely going to Miner’s Day this year…

New category combo! Politics and Art. With Hollywood and the TV business out to lunch, podcasters are getting it on. I can almost comprehend this incredibly entertaining young lady with enough weed in me.
Chip Roy vs. the VA
Glitch McConnell
Everybody thinks Biden’s too old, but this geriatric sack ‘o shyt can no longer even muster the words. Guess we’ll have another brain-dead representative sitting around in Washington waiting to die in office.
The cocksucker stood in front of a joint session of Congress proclaiming “We all were here. We saw what happened. It was a violent insurrection for the purpose of trying to prevent the peaceful transfer of power after a legitimately certified election, from one administration to the next…” Then he proceeded to participate in the cover-up. Miserable piece of traitorous shyt – every goddamned last one of them.
There was the whole Garland holdup, among other dubious political parlor tricks over the years. This well-curated piece of MAGA shyt can fuck off and die. Hopefully we won’t have much longer to wait before he kicks the can in office, eventually joining Feinstein, Grassley and that moron from Maine at the big political fuckery show in the sky.
Term limits now! That goes for everybody from the Chief Justice on down the fucking line. People been clamoring for term limits decades now, but they insist on continuing to embarrass themselves.
Lackeys got a link. Have a nice day.

Now Charge the Mutherfucker
Aggravated assault might be a good place to start. Any DA worth his weight in salt should be able to come up with a half dozen more. We’ll see…
“While we certainly respect Gov. DeWine’s views and are always ready to discuss how to improve police training, Circleville’s canine teams of dogs and officers are trained and certified to meet current Ohio Peace Officer Training Commission-recognized standards,” police said.
Oh they’re good, alright. Those dogs will rip you to pieces.

VA Disability
The Veterans Administration has the best long-term disability insurance program anywhere on the planet. It’s sort of a requirement, when the employees keep getting killed and maimed in armed conflicts. The non-combat and off-duty crap gets nasty sometimes, too. I see stuff like this and wonder how in the hell they denied my claim. Guess there’s multiple paths to fucking up the VA disability stuff.

English Breakfast
Between RAF Mildenhall and Daws Hill, we spent six years there. It’s where things really got going for us, with Phoebe showing up at some point. Michelle still makes the best English Breakfast. Anybody who spent time in Merry ‘ol England knows what they’re talking about in this compendium.

Woke ≠ Dead in FL & OH
That’s the formula for vaccine politics. Deja vu. Basic observation and simple math tell the story when you’re talking about stuff seems like everybody’s doing. The entire COVID response and resultant travesty from the death of that first Chinese doctor to the media lynching of Dr. Fauci was nothing less than a widespread exercise in government negligence.
Trump is guilty of Mass Manslaughter. Lesser covidiot villians pepper the planet.
Mutherfuckers still trying to cover it up, even run him again. It’s just fucking insane.

Why Not a “Z”?
You can run, but you can’t hide behind a new logo. Twitter™ stench will stain your nazi soul for eternity. Ask Zuckerboy how that whole Meta™ thing‘s workin’ out.
Elon Musk plans to change Twitter’s logo from a bird to an “X,” marking a major change since he purchased the platform for $44 billion last year. He aims to implement the change worldwide as soon as Monday.

Jason Aldean is a Culture War-Pandering Cunt
I was waiting to see if this fuckwit was going to do exactly what I expected after being called out for the MAGA POS he is. He did not disappoint.
“got a gun that my granddad gave me, they say one day they’re gonna round up, well, that shit might fly in the city, good luck.”
Jason Aldean is NO DIFFERENT than the MAGA politicians he supports with this base-inciting hogwash. It’s not about guns or small towns. It’s about an entertainer pandering to the base, playing what he thinks they want to hear. The message doesn’t matter, as long as they buy his music.
Cancel culture’s OK for Bud Lite™ but not him. Fuck off, cunt.

Debian 12
Codename Bookworm. Kudos to the devs on this one. My servers aren’t cookie-cutter plain-vanilla-type stuff, so OS upgrades are typically non-trivial. In the almost two years since Bullseye hit the street, this one’s been reliable as a stone axe. I almost made the habitual mistake of re-building it from scratch when Bookworm rolled around, maybe a few hardware adjustments. It takes longer, but is a good way to re-familiarize and knock off some of the cruft. Instead, I went ahead and pleasantly surprised myself doing an in-place full-upgrade, just for shyts and grins. The basically 3-step process was 100% complete and successful in about an hour (as opposed to a day) after re-installing one app and one firmware package. Nice.
Pretty clear language that Red Hat is under new management.

For my part, I miss Red Hat and the Hatter brand. It may have had its flaws and questionable motivations, but for all those problems it was a model for a successful corporation that was trying not to be so darn capitalistic. That’s something we could use these days.
Water Clarity
The pond ecosystem appears to have cycled at around the 3-week mark after putting the fish out. You can tell when the filters stabilize by water clarity. There can be the random bacterial or algae bloom, various particulates, whatever causing the water to be anything less than crystal clear. You might be surprised how green it can turn without proper UV protection. We’ve had none of those issues the past few years. Transferring some Java Moss and water from the aquariums is enough to get the good bacteria quickly started. I call it the insta-cycle process.
Saw only one racoon in the yard so far this year. Blue Herons seem to be around more than ever, but don’t come fishing in the pond any more. We scared a big one up out of the creek just this morning. Maybe the trees are tall enough to hide the pond from aerial surveillance.

Biden the Strawman
I guess Grassley’s goin’ for Impeachment I Redux. Being senile is no excuse for his staffers and MAGA stick-pokers to assume the general public’s memory is really that short. His form of dementia must be pretty suggestive when somebody gives him a piece of paper like that for a press release. This was all hashed out while they were screaming about the Bidens back during Bendict Dotard‘s first impeachment. You can almost blame the war in Ukraine on these cocksuckers, based on some of that crap. Nobody seemed stupid enough to try getting voters to fall for it then. Time marches on…
The tip revolves around an allegation pushed by former President Trump involving Joe Biden, his son Hunter Biden, and a Ukrainian prosecutor, although there is no hard evidence to support this claim.
With Margarine Trailer Queen flashing Hunter’s dick pics in committee hearings, it’s really just all become so much bald-faced stupidity. These mutherfuckers are being paid to run the country and all they do is vie for power.
And on January 5, 2021, Grassley suggested he didn’t believe that Mike Pence would preside over the certification of Joe Biden’s electoral victory, that if Pence didn’t show up, he, as president pro tempore of the Senate, would preside over the process, and that “it would be really wrong for me to say I have my mind made up” about the election results.
Chuck Grassley can keep suckin’ that limp Trump cock.

Chickens vs. Albatross
Should be enough of ’em to handle one big, fat, useless Albatross that’s been hanging around the neck of this country since 2016.
From this arose the image of an albatross around the neck as metaphor for a burden that is difficult to escape.

Mitnick Dead at 59
Doubt if many today remember where the whole hacker thing got started. And I don’t recall ever hearing if we determined whether or not he turned out to actually be a good guy or a bad guy, overall. One thing’s for sure: He had the balls to go up against those mutherfuckers, right or wrong.
In the end, Mitnick would joke online about his early escapades like men his age who laugh about their own juvenile delinquency, and the Internet is loaded with his tips for avoiding foiling online predators.
Cyberspace’s most-wanted hacker and his unlikely capture in Raleigh in 1995.

I still snicker reading the old accounts of how he penetrated security in the systems at all these big tech giants of the time. It’s only because they had none. It wasn’t even on the radar then. He was a clueful opportunist.
