  1. Fair. And will do. Although I’ll note that I didn’t say the Dossier as a whole was accurate…I observed that when a subject of the Dossier had facts come out….they matched up. So the characterization of the dossier as a whole as “discredited” is a plainly false statement. I also wanted to post the pic of Marisa, because I remain quite sweet on her.
  2. A better display of your straw-manning doesn’t exist. This post is perfect. If you can find any post where I said the Steele dossier is “dead-on, balls accurate,” I’ll donate $100 to the Human Fund in your name. You take the opposite extreme: the burden of proof for anything that puts Russia in a remotely negative light is “beyond even the merest shadow of a doubt,” and the benefit of the doubt you give Russia is larger than the country’s landmass.
  3. Yep. To make it Texas-centric, it’s maddening when - after every hurricane or similar event - people who lost everything in a flood cry “but we were told we didn’t NEED flood insurance!” No, you were told that, because you are not in a high enough flood hazard area, your mortgage lender didn’t REQUIRE you to buy it…but you fucking dumbasses still live in an area where floods are possible (it’s Texas in 2025…unless you live at the top of a tall hill, that’s true), and you could have gotten insurance for a few hundred bucks a year. Not paying for insurance is a great financial decision right up to the point that it changes into a disastrously foolish financial decisions. Sounds like you’ve never considered getting your nuts bitten off by a Laplander.
  4. What I find fascinating is that if there is ever even a remote opportunity or basis to defend/exonerate/stan for Russia…Ana pops up. It could be a thread on the music board talking about how Russian synth-pop of the early 90s was pathetic and unoriginal, and Ana would pop up to tell you that you are fake news, and actually it defined the genre for all time.
  5. Have an old friend from college, good dude, whose home in PP was one of the few that survived - it was upwind of where the fire started. That’s good…but everything else is shitty: “Been a tough few days. Right now our house is still standing, which is amazing. No idea when we will get back in or if there is smoke damage or anything else. Word is we may not get back in for at least weeks and possibly months. Really suck but if that is all we have to worry about, we are good. So many of our friends have lost everything including one friend who lost his brother. It is horrific around here.” Even the “wins” in the community are cloaked in losses.
  6. Jesus. He may actually be the stupidest man alive. I’m not kidding, because the Dunning Kruger is off the charts for him. I mean…wind conditions alone (Texas doesn’t get 80 mph Santa Anna winds down canyons and slopes filled with homes) show him to be a complete fucking idiot. He falls for anything that fits his increasingly deranged worldview. That’s it, that’s the extent of his intellectual inquiry.
  7. Again, the conservatives I follow are beating the “DEI means you DIE!” drum relentlessly. Nevermind that nobody can state any connection between such policies and a negative impact on the response. It is indeed a ridiculous beating, but we live in ridiculous times.
  8. So…like the Japanese…we clearly fucked these people up when we bombed the crap outta them. Although that said…a pissed off antlered winged fox WOULD really tie my office together. Stupid import restrictions. Same dumb laws that are preventing me from filling a suitcase with this stuff: That second pic is just dead-sexy.
  9. Doesn’t matter. Every single person bitching about how the LAFD needed a bigger budget, or more hydrants, or more reservoirs, ALSO has a “TAXATION IS THEFT!” post within the last 90 days.
  10. Chilly night last night in Munich, and we were tired. Went a coupla doors down for goulash and stroganoff. Both are personal winter favorites. Will be making each when I get home.
  11. Can vouch. GOLL and I got stuck in O’Hare for 5 hours back in 2020. So we did one of our favorite things: camped out at the bar and drank beer to watch the world go by, and check out the scenery. There was no scenery. None. Just large midwestern women. A very depressing flight delay.
  12. I only had to rest twice. My wife does spin class 6 times a week. Her cardio routine had her doing just fine. Walk down was fine.
  13. Yet 2/3 of yall will spooge in your pants over an $8 taco from Torchys.
  14. It would have been, but were the more intrepid type. Shoulda taken the damned carriage.
  15. Crispy pork deliciousness? Mexicans-coonasses-Germans: Just beautiful.
  16. This. Abbott has literally already done what I said. I don’t have to make ANY of this stuff up. They are literally saying it (seriously, it’s fucking all over the place online - shit a out killing queers and leftists and dirty immigrants), and following through (El Paso, NOLA, Vegas cybertruck, etc etc etc), and pardoning people convicted of crimes against the “other team” (see Abbott, and Trump’s current promise to pardon all Jan 6 terrorists). I haven’t had to make a single thing up. Not one thing.
  17. Now for some fun stuff….the people. These two gals made me SO happy. Why? Because they hogged the primary overlook of the castle to take 10,000 photos for their Instagram pages. All the posing, multiple poses. Shot after shot. Nevermind that families were lined up to take their own photo. These top-of-the-line INFLUENCERS had to take over the place. We left, and they were still there taking photos. Why does that make me happy? Because your castle tour ticket is for a. EXACT time (this is Germany…everything but the trains is exactly on time). So, they for so caught up taking all their pictures that when they showed up at the gate, they were denied entry - they were too late. I don’t think they ever got in, as you buy your tickets at the BASE of the castle. And…as always. F’n Russians: And check out the fucking Hanson brothers over there. Two Canuck jerseys, a Bruins jacket, and a Black Sabbath T-shirt. I wanna party with those guys. From the wardrobe, I thought these gals were Russian too. Nope. They were just very attractive Americans. Quite nice, too, we ended up chatting with them later.
  18. More Bavaria: Yeah, we went to Neuschwanstein. And I would definitely recommend going this time of year, because holy shit, in the summer it most be a MADHOUSE. And the climb up is not a cakewalk. About a half hour steady uphill, then you climb the whole damned castle. So, let’s talk about King Ludwig. Dude was clearly queerer than a football bat (NTTAWWT….in fact, his life would have been much happier if he was just able to have sexy time with Wagner all the time). Ludwig was, as the kids say, quite “EXTRA.” Definitely not “basic.” Imagine how a gay Bavarian king would design and decorate everything, and you’ve got him figured out. We got lucky, had a mostly sunny day, really highlighted the local beauty. And while we’re glad to have seen Bavaria and it is indeed pretty, we didn’t feel any deep connection or anything like that (we’ve got literally zero German blood). It’s deep rural, conservative Germany. Culturally…no thanks. Give us libertine Berlin.
  19. Greetings from sunny but chilly Southern Bavaria. 1) King Ludwig had shitty Liberace-like taste. 2) I ain’t buyin’ no damn cuckoo clock.
  20. Yep. Did many rich tech bros and such lose their homes? Are the CEOs of insurers rich as shit? They’ll be taken care of. Same as it ever was.
  21. Who’s your dude?
  22. You don’t need a taser. You need a .45. I’m not kidding, not even a little bit. They are coming to kill you. They will face no consequences: Abbott and/or Trump will pardon them all, immediately. Arm yourself if you want to have a chance.
