Other side of the Pacific:And an aftershock in Venezuela.I know these are probably unrelated, but are we absolutely certain?

More Damn Clouds

Get your fucking wires out of my shot!!!

Hemisphere Under Attack?

First NorCal, now a big one in Venezuela.Could be divine punishment. Not a nation or government that doesn't deserve to be beaten w/in a few centimeters of their vicious evil lives, at the least. Hell, collapse every damn structure on the planet, as if they were all Towers of Babel.

Shakin' All Over!

I hope this is an indication that the Cascadia Subduction Zone is about to go, w/ the potential of a 9+ magnitude earthquake & 100-ft. tsunamis. Maybe some of the volcanoes will ignite & start spewing rocks & lava. We can only hope.

I really am awful, aren't I? It only seems fair for everyone else to suffer as I have.

Piracy On The Internet

Edward Teach, the pirate Blackbeard.

Mentioned these pirate bastards yesterday. Check the comments. At least my piece of plastic shit printer worked w/ actual H-P cartridges, unlike some people's.

Zuckerberg, you fucking crook, why do you let this shit go on? It looks like criminal activity to this reporter. Specifically, interstate & international wire fraud. Getting a refund from these jagoffs seems like pulling teeth. Are there no laws? Is there no att'y. willing to initiate a class-action suit against these pirates? I'm more than willing to visit Chatsworth w/ a can of gasoline & a lighter.

That's a fucking threat, squealer!! Are you in favor of people being ripped off? Then you'll call the police to turn me in & defend criminal activity. C'mon, rat!!

You Are Expendable

After replacing the humanoid wage-slaves, there won't be anyone w/ a job left to buy all the plastic crap Amazon wants you to consume.

Rise Up, Rasta!!

The fake fascist news isn't trying to claim "antisemitism". I suppose they haven't gotten the messaging message yet. They're between a rock & a hard place here; they hate the Jesus-killers, but have to keep 144,000 of them alive for the eschaton to happen, & they're scared shitless of the Mohammadans/Muhammedans, so they've invoked Judeo-Xian values & decided to finance Israel's genocide. The blood is on your hands too, Americans. Why aren't you sheep outraged about these children? Oh. Silly question to ask you two-faced shitheels."Them kill the Cat, them kill the Duckie"

Not "Tired", Exhausted!

Been Getting The Old Run-Around!!

Spent the early afternoon screaming & yelling at incompetent, lying cheats involved in fucking me in iNternet & interstate commerce. (Then wasted 1.5 hrs. typing this screed, which few will read, & they'll probably just laugh at me. You'll be laughing from the other sides of your mouths soon enough, unsympathetic jerks.) DoorStepInk is in Chatsworth (Valley scum!) so that's not interstate. Do not deal w/ these mother-fuckers! Should have checked some of the comments on their ad: "Doesn't work, they are no help & won't give me a refund," yada yada. Do not buy anything from a Facebook advert, ever, period. And look at this pseudo-patriotic bilge:

Gawd damn America, I say!! 

This is a complete & absolute lie. I was given no such options. 

Woman I talked to there kindly informed me that H-P "e" series printers (I have a 2855e) don't take remanufactured ink. Thank you so very gawddamn much for letting me know on your website or when I ordered it, you fucking assholes!! I believe the Cath-licks refer to that as a sin of omission, rather than of commission. Evil lies either way! Then she says she'll e-mail me a return label, & asks if I have any way to print the fucking thing. No, you dumb hoor, that's why the hell I'm calling your stupid ass in the first place!! And screw every single person at Hewlett-Packard in every damned orofice twice w/ a rusty chainsaw! I dare say everyone who has ever owned an H-P printer will agree w/ me on that. Hell, if anything were to start a worldwide revolution, it might well be by uniting the world against those rat-bastard pirates. I'm sure Hewlett & Packard spin eternally in their graves after seeing what their names have been reduced to by filthy pig greed. Now I have to leave the fucking house & go to Target if I want to use this bullshit printer. Fuck everything.

And Yankee Dabbler. Sent me a defective box car in fucking April, dealt w/ an incompetent buffoon who somehow couldn't find my 'phone number for a month because it was "blocked" & he was apparently unable to find it in all the information Yankee Dribbler has on me. Somehow he did find my e-mail, sent me an e-mail promising that some other fuck would send me a return label which hasn't happened for two wks. now. They finally acknowledged me today after an angry e-mail, but I didn't hear the 'phone ring, & called again so damn angry the chickenshit asshole hung up on me. I fucking hate people who get all pissy when you scream at them & call them the cheats, crooks & liars they are after they've spent two months ignoring or fucking w/ you. "Oh, don't curse me." You self-righteous prick. If I'd been in the same room w/ you ... You bastards sit there in New Jersey thinking I can't do one damn thing about your bullshit, then you claim "Oh it was just miscommunication". FUCK YOU!

Another outfit to watch for is Sagebrook Home, which advised my order was coming by UPS, which continued not to have the package, so I called them & they kindly sent a replacement, which arrived a day or two after the original order showed up, but shipped via FedEx. Done by some ignernt cracker moron warehouse worker in AsheSummerville, NC. Fuck you, moron!! I advised them of this wks. ago & asked them to send a return label. No action, as the saying goes. Today I called, rather than e-mailed, & had the operator/receptionist track down the person so I wouldn't be transferred to some bullshit answering system that won't record a message. (COWARDS!! Answer your fucking 'phones!!) So I did speak to her & she e-mailed me the damn label. Finally. Would've kept the damn thing but there is literally no place to put it in this tiny dump.

In conclusion, I so hate this fucking bullshit world of fucking bullshit & everybody in it, because you made it this way you pieces of shit.

It's Murder!

Another reminder that no one is "safe", anywhere.

New York Times:

The Deadly Rise of Giant Trucks and S.U.V.s  —  For decades, American roads were steadily getting safer for pedestrians.  But around 2009, the trend reversed.  Since then, the number of pedestrians killed each year has risen by about 75 percent.  —  Source: Insurance Institute for Highway Safety

Cult Of Personality, Delusions Of Grandiosity

This reporter has seen many American propaganda films from WWII but I don't remember any images of F.D.R. or the Sec. of War., Henry Stimson. Here, a pair of compensating pin-dicks in a fascist video-game edit. No mention of silly ideas like protecting liberty & democracy against aggressors or oppression, just delusions of raw power & patheic posing. Tell us again how Iran no longer has a military. Or how murdering unarmed fishermen & detroying any evidence of drug smuggling in cowardly air attacks makes your United Snakes feared for its might.From Hullabaloo. Digby thinks mistakes might be made.

T.V. Eye

We're pivoting to video at Web of Evil (& Ennui). It'll be nothing but ranting & raving about how miserable everything & everyone are, & plenty of death threats to anyone & everything, so you chickenshit little assholes can call the police & squeal to your heart's content. Why do I think everything is shit? Because your species has been making it so for over a hundred thousand yrs., as confirmed by paleontology & history, & by this cheap mother-fucking slumlord son-of-a-bitch. 

Waterboarding to death would be a very appropriate punishment. "I CAN'T BREATHE!! GLUB GLUB GLUB ..." Warms my heart.

Breeder Scum!

"Patriotic" paternalism/patriarchy. Really sums up the father-child relationship, dunnit?

Just because your jiz was functional & you found a humanoid receptacle for it doesn't make you special or different. It makes you a filthy animal, like trillions* of other insects. And your putrid animal spawn has made existence worse for everyone. Shame on you all!

I reject your patriarchy, paternalism, patrioitism & pater himself. What'd my father give me? Astigmatism & myopia! Thanks a lot, asshole who died tring to pass someone a curve while drunk. Too bad you didn't take whomever you ran into w/ you.

Jerkwad mother-fuckers like Donald Trump & Elon Musk are "fathers". And both had "fathers". Need I say more?

As always, there is little that is stupider than wishing anyone a "Happy" whatever stupid & bogus commercial holiday. Or a "Happy Memorial Day". Fuck you, illiterate, unthinking toads. Your incessant bullshit is exhausting.

*Scientists estimate that there are about 10 quintillion (10,000,000,000,000,000,000) individual insects and bugs alive on Earth at any given moment.

Needs To Be Institutionalized

Dan Froomkin asks the press to remove its head from its collective ass. He's asked before, so don't hold your breath.

Despite the mainstream media’s insistence on sanewashing Trump – by writing about his “unfiltered, improvisational style” or describing him as “a self-indulgent political leader who trusts his own instincts” – he is, in fact, not sane.

Call it what you will – narcissism, solipsism, sociopathy, hedonism, paranoia, dementia – the evidence overwhelmingly shows that Trump cares about only one thing: Trump.

Nothing else.

His only motivation – regardless of the reasons he or his lickspittles cite – is self-aggrandizement. His only goal is to make himself feel powerful.

The emptiest of vessels, who can never be filled.

Your Friend & Ally In The Middle East

"Burn, Baby, Burn!!"

Some dare call it genocide. Check the responses.

‘Hideous’: Left and Right Slam Israeli Minister Declaring ‘All of Lebanon Must Burn’

Far-right Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir sparked a firestorm of criticism on Friday by declaring “all of Lebanon must burn” after four Israeli soldiers were killed by Hezbollah in the country.

“For every tear of an Israeli mother, a thousand Lebanese mothers must weep. All of Lebanon must burn!” Ben Gvir wrote on social media, adding:

With all due respect to the Americans, Israel must make it clear to the entire world that the blood of our sons and the security of our citizens are not forfeit. All of Lebanon must burn. Our supreme duty is to protect the citizens of Israel and the soldiers of the IDF, and this commitment takes precedence over every other consideration.

He concluded that “in the Middle East, you don’t win with measured responses and restraint,” but instead you must “obliterate” your enemy to end terrorism. Ben Gvir has long been a highly controversial figure inside Israel and abroad for his ardently anti-Arab rhetoric, which often includes violent overtones. His Jewish Power party holds six seats in the current Israeli Knesset, but has been a key bloc holding together Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government since late 2022.

Why, some antisemite even suggested that "key Israeli officials speak and think like pure Nazis, if not worse".
