HE’S BACK BABY!

Hey friends,

Take it from an ally - this is a misleading headline.

The utterance was uttered in the context of things one would want to avoid. It doesn’t even strike me as a threat by Brian Kilmeade, and is more of a gaffe.

The whole clip is STILL a steamy shitty take.

They are saying “mental illness sufferers, particularly the subset who are inclined to commit public violence, need to ‘come to Jesus’ and take the overly-bountiful government assistance available to them. That silver bullet will cure them of their issues such that they’ll no longer threaten poor old me. And if any refuse, they deserve whatever else might happen to them which, as stated earlier, is to be involuntarily placed into a mental institution.”

And then Brian Kilmeade, the homunculus muppet that he is, thinks “I’m helping,” grabs the bag of Shake’n Bake his parents never gave him, and chimes in "and other bad things could happen, uhh hyuck, even inVoLuntaRy letHaL injEcTion (as a consequence of the implied context of a person who refuses help for their mental illness, who later takes a life during a mental episode, and who will suffer ramifications up to and including being tried for murder and sentenced to death).

Maybe it would have been a dog whistle call to violence if anyone other than Brian Kilmeade said it.

Maybe it’s foolish of me to disregard the words because the words were still aired, on a network with a vested interest in launching wind-up murder meatbots towards the left. If this is the point of the report, then this is a criminal choice of headline.

Suppose dad died. Does kid get his social security?

I clicked on the link just to get a better look at that fucking face

I wanna say Macho Man Randy Savage would have something poignant to say, but I don’t know what it’d be.

“Ani, have you ever been in a Galactic prison?”

Look at that picture caption, Rubio is right there and the caption completely disregards him.

Tangential: Fred by Rodney Carrington

More people need to understand this, I think.

One video of a red voter had him expressing regret for his vote. In one expression he said “I guess I’m democrat now” with the same distaste as someone saying “guess I eat dogs now”.

I don’t think he’d have as much hesitation changing a vote in the future if he didn’t feel like doing so makes him into a monster he helped to paint.

Am I correct in seeing a similarity between this and the Xitter drama from 2024? Something about X not having a physical presence in Brazil to sue for damages, and Brazil was going to block it as a result.

Midwives bringing monsters into the world sounds like a game I’d try.

In support of the statement that Dubya was worshipped, one can see LITERAL WORSHIP in the documentary Jesus Camp. Children at evangelical camp being led in prayer to a cardboard cutout of him.

Our company of 5000+ US employees just ended a hybrid model and now requires full return to work. I sit near HR. Here are some things I’ve heard:

• Asked in a public forum what metrics were involved in revoking work from home, VP said “Metrics? None. Next question.” All other questions received some kind of diplomatic answer but not that one.
• A couple of HR employees vocally shit on the complaint emails they’ve been tasked with responding to. They’re the bootlickin-est people I’ve ever heard in a professional setting. 3+ times I’ve heard “If it bothers you that much then quit, simple. The company’s not for you then.”
• A global company, our intranet shows the head honcho taking pride in work life flexibility and touts the same fukkin hybrid model. US workers were told it’s a “participating locations only” situation.
• VP said they didn’t anticipate how beloved working from home was, and said (despite no communication otherwise) it was their plan all along to end it, and that they made a mistake by not doing it sooner because it gave us the false impression it was permanent.

In contrast, we employ some union and some non union workers all over the country. As much HR shit talk as I’ve heard over 5 years, I and they still have to abide by WRITTEN PROCEDURES whose express intent is not running astray of the Collective Bargaining Agreements. I hear these HR people on phone calls about something union related and I get to hear “Jump? How high?” and other cowtowing phrases, knowing they’re fuming inside but can’t do anything about it because we’re beholden to those CBAs.

Regularly, I witness stark evidence that union workers are treated better than their counterparts. The CBAs have teeth and the company knows it.

This was informative, and unexpectedly candid. I guess I understand downvotes as an expression of disapproval of the act of making fake IDs but if it was legal at the time to make them, then only the ethical argument remains and that’s moot if it’s illegal now.

I feel smartened

We might make new friends on the road that day.

My local branch of the ICE Enforcement and Removal division is not answering calls. It rings and rings without end.

They must’ve swallowed

I read it that way too

Seems to be 1 player. Too bad, it’d make an awesome 2 player.
