It is telling with only one assassination how terrified the rich and their sycophants have become (Aella below is a plutocrat sycophant — those are her clients!).
That shows the plutes know their situation is fragile. And have also realized they are not the bulletproof gods they thought they were.
I like Aella, but this is a fucking idiotic take. It’s both, of course. That dude was a sociopath and the system sucks. He very much deserved death. That assassination was justice and the system itself should be torn down and reconstituted completely to be fair and equitable.
Why is that so fucking hard to understand? Aella is sex worker, but she’s also fairly right-wing in a lot of ways (this is more common than you think).
Anyone who wants a pit bull should be required to go into a locked room with one that has been starved for a week and fight the dog barehanded. If that person survives, they can then have a pit bull.
Easy. Clean. Fair.
The Covidians are still banging on about wearings masks everywhere? Dang.
I’ve been traveling a lot in the past coupla weeks and I’ve probably seen 30,000 or so people in hotels or airports well enough to glimpse their faces. A total of three were wearing masks.
Three.
Face it, Covidians, you lost. Now you’re just tilting at windmills and looking clownish the entire time.
I really fucking hate Standard Time and I hate people who like Standard Time.
Why are so many women surprised about a male backlash when for the past decade or more they’ve told us that we men are inherently evil, default rapists, only want sex, can’t feel emotions and should stay away from women at all times?
What did they expect to happen there exactly?
I think we got lucky with this house we bought; there don’t seem to be any major structural issues or water damage undetected in the initial inspection. A lot of houses from the 1970s and 1980s do have those sort of problems that the sellers attempt to hide.
The main problem seems to be electrical oddness. One of the circuits in the garage has gone out and we’ve yet to call an electrician to repair it. (No, it’s not a breaker tripped and needing to be reset.) Still, the electrical systems here are more reliable than our prior rental where it was so unstable that our TV would blink off routinely in the middle of watching shows and movies.
So we’re happy so far. Have also seen no demons or malevolent ghosts. Yet.
Karen Julieth Ojeda Rodríguez: Cops Bust Notorious Hitwoman Known as ‘The Doll.’
Let her out, ship her here and send her after some of our health care and other evil CEOs. She looks buck fucking wild and that’s what we need right now.
Maybe put her in an unobtrusive shock collar in case she goes off script.
I’m pretty competent with understanding spoken Spanish, but Úrsula Corberó talks so goddamn fast in La casa de papel that I have to use the subtitles as I can only get about half of what she says.
She’s good in the show, but her delivery is like an M60 spraying.
Unlike most songs, this one grew on me as I listened to it more.

Clownish pussyfooting. It’s just Reddit trying to be advertiser- and capitalist-friendly.
Luckily, on my own blog I can say that taking out that asshole was a great Christmas present. I’m ecstatic that the UHC thug got iced and I hope it happens to many, many more healthcare CEOs and execs. And soon, too.
As the series of below comments notes, on corporate social media the nearly-unanimous joy about the UHC sociopath’s assassination is being very heavily censored and suppressed while capitalist and UHC-approved views are being promoted.
Idiot. Osama bin Laden and Pol Pot were both fathers. How does that absolve them of anything? Or cause me to care in the least?
As if him being “the CEO of a health insurance company” is just incidental somehow. If I murder 100,000+ people as he did, it doesn’t matter that I took really good care of my pets or helped an old lady cross the street. How can these people be such utter dumbasses?
ZZ Top is not a band exactly known for being poets, but I think these verses are pretty damn fine; it’s like if Milton were alive now with all his bombast and glorious overreach:
Well, I was movin’ down the road
In my V-8 Ford
I had my boots shined up
And my sideburns loweredWith my New York brim
With my gold tooth displayed
Nobody give me trouble
‘Cause they know I got it made
That’s from “I’m Bad, I’m Nationwide” of course. Though I was listening to the Dwight Yoakam version. It paints a vivid picture in very few words — and that is exactly what writing at its best should do.
I miss so very much when Firefox used to work right.
We didn’t know those were the days. But they were.
