McTemple O'Peck ☘️🌈🍻💀

I'ma stop you right there.

I spent the past two hours hanging a medicine cabinet (I opted for "level" because "square" just wasn't going to happen without shit spilling out) and somehow things even more stupid have happened in the world.

This has got to be a patronage/cost-cutting thing... and even that is a stretch. A West Coast-RTC had been talked about for a very long time, but personnel-costs were prohibitive. Then it was a Gulf Coast or Great Lakes-pipedream. Birmingham? ffs.

A new Recruit TRACEN?

I know Lunday is "in charge," but the FORCECOM/TCM-mafias can't be happy about this.

This opinion should be disqualifying for the office of Governor, tbh.

Live look at me catching up on the Middle East newsfeed:

I realize that many people do not understand the context of the AA-coffee reference, but I assure you that it is the lowest of bars to cross. There's a whole weird mythology about making coffee in AA. "New-guy/gal coffee" is shorthand for truly awful coffee.

Cops can't even have cop-hobbies anymore. smdh

The *best* cup of Dunkin coffee is still worse than when someone new starts brewing the Folgers for AA-meetings.

I'd throw Brandon Williams in there as well. A big part of Mannion's win was the attempt to paint him as a lunatic and closet-commie in the primary and later in the general, but like... no. Talk to the guy for two minutes and he's about as genteel as they come. The GOP couldn't understand that.

Go full send and start making werewolves.

Love their donuts, but their coffee is straight shit from a butt. Even the brew-your-own is terrible. I bought a can at Costco and immediately understood why Massholes hate themselves and everyone else.

Some people around the country really sleep on the fact that the NY GOP has some world-class lunatics.

When I am sick, my ol' Lady follows me around the house with a can of Lysol and treats me like a leper.

When she is sick, she whines about needing hugs and I fall for it and get sick as a result.

Once again, I am now getting sick. This time with the flu, as reported by the at-home test.

Laci Peterson? My aunt and uncle were almond farmers in Escalon and knew her parents (who had a dairy farm). I don't know if it was true, but they said they offered up their house for her wedding venue (very popular, non-church spot).

To riff off of what @jeremyhammett.bsky.social said a few days ago... if you really wanted to set a crime-drama somewhere that there was a lot of crime, mystery, and intrigue... my offer is to set it in Modesto (or at least Modesto before 2010 when it started to get really big).

One of the serial-killers was Fresno. He cut the head off of the biologist that I was a camp counselor for during sixth-grade camp. It honestly wouldn't surprise me if I was two-degrees from the Golden State Killer or Zodiak, but I've got 3 and decided I didn't want to look into it.

I appreciate it. I was looking for a background image for my "Mullahs gathered in their masses. I like goth girls with big asses. Oh lord, yeah!" meme... and well, there's a lot of goth girls with big asses on the internet. Lots to sort through.

I was going to get around to making this, but I got too drunk and distracted by porn.

I still can't believe that the media is taking Pahlavi seriously.

The fuck is atom-shaping form?

One is "Big Time" infamous and the other two were very infamous at the time. The number of non-serial murderers in one-or-two-degrees of separation is probably around a dozen.

I think that might be a statistical-outlier and also explains *waves hands* why I am the way I am.

I am two-degrees-of-separation from three, different serial killers.

NHK is good for Asian stuff, but I don't watch them much for anything else happening in the world.

Bluesky "dIsCoUrSe" described in one Skeet:

Yeah, but "Kim Jon Lenin" on here told me that it was "unrestricted submarine warfare." So, who am I to believe?

One of the things I live about living in a city that took in lots and varied groups of refugees and immigrants over the years, is that if you want a food, we probably have it; and it's probably very, very good.

Also, just watch a couple of hours of the international broadcast (not necessarily the US-broadcast) for foreign stations. The level of reporting is something we have not had here in a very, very long time. There's very little dancing around some warped-sense of "absolute neutrality."

The difference in coverage between US-outlets and foreign outlets is pretty striking. France24 is on satellite, cable, and even OTA stations (in some parts of the US). There are other foreign stations as well. Switch off the American ragebait and look to how others report on us.

Every few days some bit of "tHe DiScOuRsE" is so rancid and stupid that I assume people are posting it just to dredge up the effluvium from the bottom of this toilet bowl.
