  1. Pancho’s waitstaff used to ignore my table after the stack of used dishes obscured their view of the raised flag. My Glock now keeps the sopaipillas coming.
  2. One man thinks removing warning labels, that used to be put on state level propaganda accounts, is just acting out, while another man thinks the same is supporting and furthering an autocratic future. Humans are difficult to predict.
  3. There are no gun accidents. Only negligence. -Stonekettle
  4. Eric “zip tie hands” is from Nashville. He teamed up with his mom to attack our country. Here is the local report, which reads as expected: “Prosecutors say the two wore tactical and bulletproof vests in the Capitol and Munchel carried a stun gun. Munchel also recorded their storming of the Capitol, and prosecutors say that video shows the pair stashed weapons in a bag before entering the building. A search of Munchel’s Nashville home turned up assault rifles, a sniper rifle with a tripod, shotguns, pistols, hundreds of rounds of ammunition and a drum-style magazine. Eisenhart and Munchel have been found guilty on charges of conspiracy to commit obstruction, obstructing of an official proceeding and aiding and abetting, entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds with a deadly or dangerous weapon (Taser), disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds with a deadly or dangerous weapon (Taser), unlawful possession of a dangerous weapon on Capitol grounds or buildings (Taser), entering and remaining in the gallery of Congress, disorderly conduct in a Capitol building and parading, demonstrating or picketing in a Capitol building. The pair is expected to be sentenced on Sept. 8.” https://fox17.com/news/local/zip-tie-guy-mother-found-guilty-on-all-charges-connected-to-us-capitol-riots Well, alright. Sounds like the taser wasn’t his only weapon. Throw away the key.
  5. Ah the good old days, but I had thrown salad. I was on my knees crying that the salad had no dressing, so my dad started pouring oil down on my head. My mom was laughing so hard the cigarette fell out of her mouth, and my face caught on fire. Dad put it out with a rake. /Stony csb
  6. More likely to see camps for rape surviving children, who became mothers, who are too young to work, despite the best efforts to lower age requirements for employment.
  7. My father died from early onset Alzheimer’s. My heart is with all who confront this gawdawful specter. Fuck Alzheimer’s! So, it is fucking fantastic to be able to post the following, which will undoubtedly help humanity in our battle against this scourge.

  8. I have heard stories for most my life, about how citizens from a given country really like US citizens, but distrust the US government. And vice versa. I love Indian cultures, and food, and novelists. But I hate fascists, and authoritarians, so, I guess that country belongs with all the other countries that have the ability to fuck shit up on a massive scale. Love the people. Distrust the government.
  9. You sound angry. Still, crime is the topic. "I don't think crime data tells you all that much," says Vargas. "It tells you how police behave as an organization." In this system, shoplifting tampons or diapers counts as crime, but tax evasion, environmental crimes, and wage theft do not. Police aren't even responsible for investigating those crimes. "Wage theft is a problem about five times the magnitude of shoplifting," says Alec Karakatsanis, an activist, lawyer and executive director of Civil Rights Corps.” Civil Rights. Must be a moron. https://www.npr.org/2022/11/08/1134550280/stories-about-crime-are-rife-with-misinformation-and-racism-critics-say
  10. It is like you are out of touch. Compared to wage theft, robbers are pikers, and do far less damage to the economy. Fuck thieves. But keep your eye on the log, not the splinter. Ain’t no insurance for wage theft.
  11. Kids grow up so fast. Seems like it was mere months since that kid was a toddler in diapers, dragging his pistol around the apartment building.
  12. America’s Pasttimes, baseball and racism, team up for a clusterfuck in Fort Meyers, Florida. The high school’s new baseball coach (at least I assume the coach was new as he was reportedly a probationary hire) sent a Valentine’s email to his team in which he dropped the n-word, and gets fired two days later. His, mostly white, team gets pissed at his firing, (and not at his hate, nor his stupidity,) and walks off the field during their next game. Those walk outs are either supported, or perhaps encouraged, by their parents. The black players didn’t get the memo, and were left on the field. Which caused some inter-Ft Meyers baseball “family” altercations after the game. The cops then showed but luckily no one was shot. Now, they have forfeited the rest of their season. Thanks, Trump, you fucking pig. https://winknews.com/2023/04/13/civil-rights-investigation-at-fort-myers-high-after-text-message-sent-with-racial-slur/ https://www.fox4now.com/news/local-news/fort-myers-high-cancels-remainder-of-baseball-season?utm_source=website&utm_medium=local-promo-right-rail&FOX 4 Morning News: Here for you every morning, delivering stories from our community at a time matched to your schedule!
  13. When the railroad went to shit, so did Llano. Or, so I hear. Closing a library is next level asshattery.
  14. What’s the opposite of surprised? Maybe someday folks will know how much fentanyl money underwrote the New Right’s attempt to seize absolute control.
  15. You are way more correct than wrong. Perhaps that is by design. Sometimes enforced by rules limiting what someone can post. Which is different than a post receiving negative response on the merits of the post content. I post mainly in CR, because that is where what I usually want to post is allowed. OTOH, reading DT, or 6SJ, often provokes a desire to respond to a given post, because politics is more than just a thing. Politics determines the future my kids will navigate. Because reasons, I am not supposed to share my view on other threads. That, too, is frustrating. CR is the free speech zone here on Surly.
  16. Glad to know I’m not the only one with questions like this;
  17. I don’t want to put words in WTB mouth, but I do esteem Art. Your brush, sir, is broader than most. But, I do agree with the premise that we are witnessing the final push, decades in the making, towards an autocratic, fascistic government that uses theocratic messaging towards its goal.
  18. Inherited my firearms. Never really associated them with me killing humans, until my wife called and told me a motorist had been harassing them for many miles, and was now following her into the neighborhood. When she pulled into the driveway, I was standing at the curb with a shotgun. But the guy did not turn on our street. Should have mentioned both the kids were with her. OTOH, when there was a pounding at more door at 1AM, and, after getting out of bed, I left the bedroom without even thinking of arming myself. To find a stranger in my open doorway. I had not seen the guy’s wife standing against the back wall of the foyer. Neighbors had brought their hot mess of a domestic dispute through my unlocked door. Must have been the boxers I was wearing, because I hustled husband outside with only moderate need of force. Wife and daughter tended the other wife until the cops showed. We now lock that door as a habit.
  19. Few Christians walk the path Jesus taught. I believe you can know the hearts of those few. I will not assume to know the hearts of anyone else, though I do not take issue with your take on Christian theology, other than say it is not universal among Christian faiths. Calvinist predestination comes to mind. I linked support for the claim Sufi cosmology roots are more mystical than mathematically derived. Here is the information that you say you were hoping to see: The Human Realm is supervised by: One Kitab-al-Mubeen, controlling: 300 million Loh-e-Mehfooz (Superclusters), each one controlling 80 thousand Hazeere (galaxies), each one containing 13 billion star systems, out of which 1 billion star systems have life on one of their planets. Each star has 9, 12 or 13 planets around it. [2.4e13 differs from science’s best guess, which is 2e12]. I don’t think logic, nor math, nor science explains how they came to the conclusion one billion star systems contain life. .https://en-academic.com/dic.nsf/enwiki/1424242
  20. Throw the right to privacy, and the ninth Amendment, on the burn pile and grab your ankles. What other rights will SCOTUS scuttle now that they have assumed the power to decide which rights we no longer possess. This legislation sounds terribad, but it is going through the correct process.
  21. Koi are serious business, but congrats on not spilling your seed on the ground.
  22. The exploitation of children is not in keeping with Christ’s teachings, no. But, a true Christian is close to unicorn status, of course. But I believe I have met such folks, yes. None were pedophiles. I wanted to link support for mysticism being the path by which Sufi’s describe the universe: https://sufipathoflove.com/cosmic-order-in-sufism/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sufi_cosmology
  23. Off topic, but HEB’s crawfish boil was legit. The crawfish.were incredibly smart. Shrimp and veggies were too salty. Hence bourbon and beer, hence this shitty post. I really had high hopes for this team.
