  1. What's the deal with Louise Mensch? She caused a kerfuffle on my Twitter timeline this morning. She started blocking everyone from a infosec group to which I belong after falsely accusing people of being Russian enablers and cybercriminals. Which is hilarious because the people she was accusing are former NSA, DOD, US Cyber Command employees.

    I saw this happen a little over a year ago when another Russian espionage "expert" was floating theories about how the Alpha Bank, Spectrum and Trump Org were exchanging voter data. The explanations were asinine and when a number of people pointed out the technical improbability of the theory, they were labeled as Russian enablers.

    I suspect a number of Twitter resistance folks are actually Russians attempting to make the resistance look bat shit crazy or this particular hobby attracts the crazies.

    Please tell me I'm not the only one that got aroused every time mom said something like "No, silly".

    And I want to know how Number 5 banged Dolores. Cuz you know he banged her.

    Not the only one. She said it with a certain level of charm.

    I wondered that too. I remember thinking "he probably went to town on that mannequin."

  3. Cyclists riding on scenic roads in the hill country really piss me off, especially when they ride in big groups.

    Saturday morning I was hauling a trailer behind a farmer driving a tractor up a very small windy road with about three miles of straight incline. Some cycling club decided to use the road for a ride and created a cluster fuck.

    Most of them were huffing and puffing and moving about 1 MPH and refusing to just get off the fucking road. Their sense of entitlement to the road just drives me crazy.

  4. I had "I think we are alone now" stuck in my head most of the weekend. It's been years since I heard that song, it gave me flashbacks of middle school.

    Favorite character was number 5, whoever the actor is killed that role. Not once did it come off as a kid playing an adult, he really did seem like an adult trapped in a kid body. Most of those "Freaky Friday" type movies failed to pull this off.

    Klaus was great too. He was also in Fortitude and played an eccentric tormented type in that one as well although Klaus was tempered with a good bit of humor.

    Hazel was great too. I used his phrase "elaborate" on my teenagers a couple of times already. It is pretty good for extracting more information without having to ask questions.

    Grace (mom) was good in more ways than one, she is hot. Towards the very end, her voice and expressions became more human which was a nice touch. I really appreciated the idea of some of the kids forming a closer bond with her than others. Diego saw her as a mama but some of the others questioned their emotional attachment to her. It was a small side story but an interesting idea to ponder.

    Oh wow I didn't know that! That is great news.

    Yeah, from the proposed designs it looks to be a great restoration project. All of the crap in Alamo Plaza is going to be removed to return it to how it would have originally looked during the revolution.

    In the past, I've eaten lunch at the plaza more times than I can remember. I always try to envision what it looked like but with all of the riff raff it is hard to appreciate the setting. I'm glad this is being done.

    But it doesn't make sense to quote Mussolini. Mussolini rejected socialism, banned their political parties and killed them. The nationalism that he espoused is actually pretty fucking close to Trumpism and not DS politics.

    When you consider who the current thought leaders of conservatism are the John Cornyn tweet quoting Mussolini makes sense. Cornyn's tweet wasn't trying to promote fascism but a retarded attempt to make a point without a basic understanding of 20th century history. When you elevate knuckle heads to the status of thought leaders, this is what happens.

     

  8. The thing about Buttigieg that really irks me is his age. It's not a big deal but the idea of a Millennial being elected before a Gen-Xer just runs me the wrong way. Going from a series of Boomer Presidents to a Millennial President as if the latch key generation is still at home by themselves is a bit fucked up.

    Anyways, Beto 2020! Generation-X is assuming control, then we will kill off the Boomers and lock up the Millennials.

    Fucking Millennials.

    In the future, students in school will have a new era to study in U.S. History.

    Colonial Period

    Reconstruction

    The Great Depression

    The Cold War

    Trump ruins everything.

    Is it weird that I like some versions of ADHD/Agent 47/Sublime etc and not others? I couldn't stand ADHD, but sublime isn't that bad. 

    Not as weird as having multiple online personalities.

    If this is really him there are going to be some Surly posters that will begin to question their existence today.

    To quote the poet Ice Cube.

    "But don't let it be a black and a white one

    'Cause they'll slam ya down to the street top

    Black police showin' out for the white cop

    Ice Cube will swarm

    On any motherfucker in a blue uniform"
