  1. Fucking this. And social media has already become overwhelmed with AI garbage -- bots and spam accounts sending it all over, and then idiots (you know, your parents' generation who 25 years ago were forwarding every stupid email they got) amplifying and boosting that AI garbage. "Here's an inspiring post/video about some celebrity/hero/whatever"....that never actually happened. The tech lords are rapidly making internet spaces suitable only for idiots who fall for AI bullshit. It is even further distilled idiocy. Before, the internet was distilled 90% proof idiocy....it's approaching 180 proof at a breakneck pace.
  2. No ATC? What could go wrong?
  3. So....what did this do to TSA last time? I'm flying Friday and Sunday, and I guess I'll build in extra airport time.
  4. He's a dork cosplayer addressing real, honorable, career military. How else would you expect it to go?
  5. Dude. I’ll go with him as a date. And I put out.
  6. Oh. My friends. It’s so much more than that. They’re coming for Griswold v Connecticut too. So long, birth control. Interestingly, even though it absolutely fits in the line of cases he hates, he didn’t mention Loving v Virginia…which protected interracial marriage. Gosh. It’s a mystery why he left that out. Seriously, though…they’re coming for EVERYTHING.
  7. Man…but look at all of those shaving trimmings.
  8. Every accusation is a confession. I sweatergawd, if/when this era ever ends, I am going to lobby for an “every accusation was a confession” monument in DC. It’ll be like the Vietnam wall, except each line will be the name of one of these evil hypocritical pieces of shit.
  9. Yep. The Finnish war museum has a deal all about that.
  10. Just cuz you're into batshit crazy Brewster Buffalos doesn't mean you need to lash out.
  11. Every day, there are dozens of forks in the policy road. When this admin reaches such a fork, the admin asks "what would a pointlessly cruel dick do?" Then, they do that. Not 95% of the time, but 100% of the time. Because the only metric of "we're getting stuff done" is "are we hurting someone?" Punching down is easy, but also a path to success. Because when they hurt people, anyone of any decency -- so....libs -- cry out and say WTF? Why? Stop that! And that means they "made libs cry." Thus, they won. They accomplished the only goal they have.
  12. Not that I don't love a P-51, but I was always more of a Corsair man. 2000+ horses. Sexy beasts.
  13. This. Find a piece of shit white trash dude who can't keep a job and hits his girlfriend, and ask him what he does...."well....sometimes I do drywall work. But really, I'm a cage fighter!"
  14. Yeah, there's something to be said for that. At an Austin FC match last year, Gina Chavez sang the anthem. And goddammit, I teared up a bit. That's MY anthem, for MY country. It belongs to all of us. And if a fucking hispanic lesbian -- so utterly hated by half our country for no fucking good reason whatsoever -- can stand up their and sing it, and own it, because this is HER country too...then goddammit, I can own it too. That's the hell of it. I love this country. I am a real, actual patriot. Not a performative lying piece of shit. How can you claim to be a patriot but hate half the people in this country for no good reason, be okay with sodomizing the Constitution, and support installing a monarch? Fuck them. I'm a patriot. I believe in what this country can be, that it can be better, that it is capable of moving forward. I've got generations of my family standing behind me who risked it all for this country. We literally fought as anti-fascists. No, the fascists can't have my country. They can't have my anthem, my flag. Fuck them for daring to claim it as they betray it.
  15. Seriously....WTF is that? Goddamn, that's fucking bizarre looking, whatever it is. Like a chupacabra, but a putamaga.
  16. When the boy was in his "let's go to lots of airshows" stage, we....went to lots of airshows. The wife got dragged along to some. We were at one in San Antonio when a P-51, with that RR Merlin engine cranking, did a high-speed pass in front of us. Even my wife commented "damn, that sounds sexy." She ain't wrong.
  17. The fact that you can legitimately post that, and every sane and rational person knows there is a material -- like, more than non-zero...we're talking double-digits -- percentage chance of that going down.....well, that tells you all you need to know about this hellscape of a timeline.
  18. I mean....there's a funny little get-together party theme. Only dick-shaped food. Corn dogs. Little smokies in bbq sauce. Fish sticks. Boudin. That could work.
  19. Indeed. So, knowing that, maybe....just MAYBE... we shouldn't (a) cast them out on their own and say "fuck you pull yourself up by your bootstraps because anything that supposedly helps the common good by helping some particular people is COMMUNISM," and (b) maybe....just MAYBE....we should be spraying fuel directly into their mentally broken carburetors by relentlessly pounding the drums of war against those a certain group deems to be "the enemy?" You know, don't tell crazy people that every brown person in this country is an evil criminal who any second now is going to murder and rape you, and MAYBE you won't have a nutbar inspired to drive to El Paso and shoot 40-something brown people. Stuff like that. Our toxic individualism combined with the fact that spewing hate is our national ethos is a kinda sorta bad combo. A smart society would reconsider that approach.
  20. Little known fact: the working title was "Nancy-boy Riders of the Lavender Sage," so the whole gay/trans subtext shouldn't come as any surprise.
  21. I dunno...I'm kinda looking forward to the new saga, "The Second Coming: Christ's Vengeance," where Christ returns to earth, joins ICE, and beats the fuck outta mexicans to the cheers of angels who look a whole lot like various megachurch "pastors."
  22. Or the first entry on the resume of most Surly posters. You know, potato, potahto.
  23. I mean, that's a pretty good starter kit of photo cards for my new party game, "Closeted self-loathing homosexual or date-rapist?" So, thanks.
  24. The one ironclad rule of movements such as the one we've seen rise to power is that in its relentless search for apostates to "other," it will turn on and eat its own. You're a "good American Christian" right up until you're "apostate antichrists." That is the way it goes. Always. 100% of the time, there are no meaningful counter-examples.
