Friday Freak Out

And the crowd goes wild!

No Doubt "Fake" News

Sky News: While Trump, the so-called leader of the free world, sits rage-posting on SM like a man screaming into a void, France, Japan, Philippines, & UK are quietly, methodically cutting deals with Iran. The world has moved on & US Mainstream Media is not covering a bit of this. #sheshed

Couldn't possibly be true if the mainstream media isn't reporting it.

Just put it back in your pants, losers. There are more than enough sub-humans filthying the planet, we certainly don't need any more mindless American sheep.

What's a good post-final solution number? Absolutely no more than a few hundred million maximum for the planet, I'd say.

Consumer Report: Third Party Shipping

Sagebrook Home, where is this?

Screen shot taken today, 9 April; you created a label on fucking Friday the 3rd; why has this been sitting a mere 50+ blocks from me at 1418 East 18th Street, Los Angeles, CA 90021 for a wk. now? Fuck me. I could have walked there, picked it up & walked back to the bunker by now. Several times.

Yet some how Target continues to claim it'll be here tomorrow.

No shit "Tracking details may not yet be available on the carrier site".

As usual, some corporate entity or another is lying to me, but were I to threaten them some fuckhead would call the police, yet not because other pigs are lying to me, because whatever their corporate masters do is fine w/ them.

The Internet Archive claims there are 14 films in this series; the five above made the YouTube/Internet Archive cut.

Draft hell, why not enlist? After all, how many Space Force "Guardians" will put boots on Iranian soil?

"There Goes Your Inventory"

Expect A Toilet Paper Shortage

Total damn destruction. Even got a trailer.

(William Liang / For The Times)

Local Labor Action

The suspect in a massive blaze at an Ontario warehouse posted videos that appeared to show himself [sic] lighting the fire and griping about being paid low wages, according to video reviewed by The Times.

Crews responded to the 1.2-million-square-foot Kimberly-Clark paper products facility early Tuesday morning and were quickly forced out due to “extremely rapid fire growth,” according to the Ontario Fire Department.

The fire caused the building’s roof to collapse and escalated to a six-alarm blaze, requiring the response of around 175 firefighters and evacuation of about 20 employees.

Ontario Police Dept. Cpl. Emily Williams told KTLA that police are investigating the video. “We have had reports that he did give some information on social media,” Williams said.

Chamel Abdulkarim, 29, of Highland was arrested in connection with the blaze, according to authorities. Abdulkarim was employed by NFI Industries, a third-party distribution company for Kimberly-Clark products, fire officials said.

On his Facebook page, Abdulkarim had shared several first-person videos in which a man — presumably Abdulkarim — is seen lighting fires in a warehouse. Alex Montero, who said he met Abdulkarim in the warehouse that night, obtained screen recordings of the videos by way of a mutual friend on Facebook.

“You know, if you’re not going to pay us enough ... to afford to live, at least pay us enough not to do this,” the man says while lighting a roll of toilet paper on fire.

In a subsequent video, the person filming continued to light fires as radios in the background relayed fire reports and evacuation instructions to employees.

“All you had to do is pay us enough to live,” the narrator says as the camera focused on several stacks of paper products beginning to catch fire.

“There goes your inventory,” he says in a final video as the flames began to spread out of control.

The Ontario Police Department did not immediately respond to questions from The Times about the videos.

“It was him that [sic] posted himself doing it,” Montero wrote in an email to The Times, referring to the videos. “If not I wouldn’t have put it out there like that.”

As previously noted. This guy's almost as cool as The Italian Assassin, Luigi Mangione. Anarchy Now!! Death to your corporate masters!!

Sweepers, Man Your Brooms! Clean Sweep, Fore & Aft!

I killed it!

The overhead was just a bit dusty & spider-webby after yrs. w/o a clean sweep.

Given the abundance of spiders, it's disappointing there are still fruit flies in the bunker.

Occasionally chunks will descend from above. Not good to get sticky, dusty spider-stuff in locomotive gearing, rolling stock (Stops rolling.) or even a turn-out. Can't come up w/ a scenario for giant brown snowballs all over the desert, either, so it's clean sweep time, 'cept it's sweep the overhead, not the deck. And bulkheads too. This stuff sticks!

The other third of the bunker.

Not even The Duke was safe.

Final state:

An improvement. Could use a coat of paint. Maybe I'll paint it all sky-blue, & the walls too. Or maybe the slumlord will. I kill myself. But not before I get the slumlord. Note the paint in the second image. That was when one of the slumlord's incompetent employees broke a pipe while plumbing in the ap't. above several yrs. ago, almost destroying my telebision & electrocuting me as I got a space heater off the deck. No apology, compensation or anything else from the slumlord, of course. Just a shitty paint job. Repipe this fucking building, you damned parasite, before I shove a pipe up your ass!!

Hotter Than Hell!

March smashes record as most abnormally hot month for continental US, federal meteorologists say

O.K. by me, my circulation sucks & I'm always cold anyway. Burn in your own hell, fools!

1909: Yale Climate Connections piles on.

The year so far: hottest and driest in U.S. history

After a season-defying March heat wave pushed things into overdrive, it’s an open question – and a crucial one – how soon more generous moisture might arrive.

The moisture will be more than generous when the icecaps go.

Civilization Phaze III

For The Still Literate

Scum of the Earth. (AP Photos.)

Over 20 paragraphs, & essentially another laundry list of nails in the coffin of conservatism & its alleged, one time, yrs.-ago principles, but it can't hurt.

Boiled down, the fascisti are running scared, & their ideology, principles & tenets are out the window like a Russian oligarch. Speaking of oligarchs, several good paragraphs on "state corporatism", which this reporter thinks hasn't gotten the attention it deserves.

No Words

As a long-time nihilist this reporter supports the destruction of all civilization; do let him know if you find anything that even resembles civilization in this awful world where everything is a sad, stupid joke.

People Are The Worst

Asshole Of The Day

The dickwad driving the pick-up took umbrage at the bus operator not letting him in, so when the bus slowed & started to turn toward the stop the asshole decided to drive as closely as possible w/o making contact, & stayed there honking, 'though the operator couldn't move the bus as the idiot was too close. Hope the police arrived & beat the shit out of the pick-up driver. (Police brutality is not wrong every time!!)Hell, were this reporter 30-40 yrs. younger I might've beaten him the living crap out of him myself, 'though the important thing here would be to demolish the penis-substitute pick-up & watch the fuckhead cry.

2011: Facebook tells me this has had 100 views. Apparently people will watch anything. Especially if it's visible because Zuck's robots didn't suppress as a link. Really starting to wonder if anything is worth any effort.

Fi-Yuh!!

Burn Baby Burn!

Strike back at your corporate masters!!

"Pretty Bleak"

"Full of hatred, he’s lying constantly,
and a lot of it is incoherent."

O.K., but other than all that ...

George Grylls / The Times:
The man who watches Trump all day, every day  —  Aaron Rupar spends up to 80 hours a week following the US president, from meandering speeches to impromptu press conferences.  He says it's ‘pretty bleak’  —  The psychological demands of Aaron Rupar's work are immense.

Today In Blasphemy

Trump and Hegseth Invoke God in Iran War

CNN: “Far from shying away from the idea that there is a religious aspect to the US-Israeli war on Iran, US government leaders are leaning into it, invoking God and promising fire and brimstone for Iran’s civil society if its leaders do not buckle to US demands.”

[Political Wire, 'though it's all above.]

In the last few mins.:

Natalie Allison / Washington Post:
Trump says God supports U.S. cause in Iran war as he threatens wider bombing
Ben Shapiro / The Daily Wire:   The Haters Who Want America To Lose
Sean James / Mediaite:   Reporter Asks Trump: 'Do You Believe God Supports the United States's Actions in This War?'

Paul Campos / Lawyers, Guns & Money:   How should the Democrats respond to Trump's war crimes?

Jazmin Tolliver / HuffPost:   MTG Says Trump Needs To Drop To His Knees And ‘Beg Forgiveness From God’ For ‘Evil’ Easter Post

Are you a "hater" who wants America to lose? Does that mean you hate Gawd as well?

Outside World Of Evil (& Ennui)

Wasted 2.5 hrs. outside in the sun. Still feel like warmed-over crap, possibly because your outside world is stupid & ugly, filled w/ fat, stupid, ugly people & all their fucking litter & trash.

Dead tree, blank sign.

After two & a half hrs. in the hell of people & their damned effluvia, I return to the street where I live to find the fucking police harassing some poor guy who was sleeping on the curb when I left.

Note the clean-shaven one's eyes don't open. Malfunctioning Nazi robot?

Why can't these Nazi shitheels leave people the hell alone?

Have I mentioned exactly how much I hate every one of you? No, because my rage is so far off the chart it can't be measured, ergo I can't be exact.

Religious War

It would appear as if the IDF want to kill anyone who isn't Israeli & Jewish.Whaddya say about that, Jesus fans? Or about Military Easter?

“This is one of our better Easters I think in a lot of different ways. I can say militarily, it has been one of the best.”

— President Trump, speaking to reporters.

Not that any Jesus people are actual pacifists, or are in the least bit troubled about hypocrisy or interested in reality.

"Praise Be To Allah, You Crazy Bastards"

Is 2000 Eastern Tuesday when he makes his big chickening out announcement?

Heard The Sirens & Wondered

Looks like an "attractive nuisance" to this reporter.

A Greater Emergency Fire damaged a boarded up, four-story building in East Hollywood Sunday morning and took firefighters more than an hour to extinguish, authorities said.

No injuries were reported.

The fire was reported at 3:17 a.m. at 315 N. Vermont Ave., just north of Beverly Boulevard — the site of a “previous burn,” Los Angeles Fire Department spokeswoman Jennifer Middleton said.

Knockdown was declared after one hour and seven minutes with roughly 66 firefighters at the scene.

I dunno about that. Pretty damn sure the sirens & choppers were going an hr. before 0317. Typo?

Easter Affirmation

Jesus may well 💘 you. Me, not so much. 

None of the mythos sounds like "dying" for anyone's sins; more like a refreshing 48-hr. dirt nap & then it's time to wake up & go to heaven. "Why hast thou forsaken me (for two whole days)?" 

And you unholy bastards have continued your sinning unabated for 2,000 yrs., haven't you?

Artemis II Sends New Pix Of Earth

The East is Red!

Game over, capitalist pigs!

Outside World

Even the sky was dull. This is from 7 Jan. this yr.

Had to forage; managed to get it done in less then 45 mins. Nothing happened. Came back alive, & bored limp. I have never been so tired or numb in my life.
