Waitin' For The Man

Surf's Up, Suckwads!

High surf advisory means 'barrels' of fun in Seal Beach

No gremmies (TIL: The term was first recorded in the 1960s, and in the 1970s was replaced by the Australian slang term "grommet".)
or ho-dads, "expert surfers" only, sez LAist.

Ho Ho Ho, You're All Whores, 'Cept For The Pimps & Tricks

See? Paris Hilton is certainly one.

Perhaps high-dollar, but a whore is a whore, Xmas spirit be damned.

He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle,
But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight,
"Happy Christmas to all, and give my dick a big bite"

Wait a sec ... we are advised by our att'y. that Ms. Hilton is not a whore or a pimp, but an "influencer". There's a difference?

Arbeit Macht Frei, Part II

Louisiana often holds inmates past their release date, DOJ lawsuit claims

Everything Old Is New Again!

In a joint statement provided to The Associated Press, Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry and state Attorney General Liz Murrill blamed the problem on the “failed criminal justice reforms” advanced by “the past administration.”

“This past year, we have taken significant action to keep Louisianans safe and ensure those who commit the crime, also do the time,” the statement reads. “The State of Louisiana is committed to preserving the constitutional rights of Louisiana citizens.”

The Republican state officials also characterized the effort as a last-ditch lawsuit by outgoing President Joe Biden, reasoning that the incoming administration of Donald Trump would not have allowed the case to be filed.

Advocates have repeatedly challenged the conditions in Louisiana’s prison system, which includes the country’s largest maximum-security prison, known as Angola, where incarcerated individuals toil under the blazing sun picking vegetables by hand at what was once a slave plantation".

Nothing to see here, just that awful Biden administration daring to pursue justice for people w/o money or power. Not to worry, won't be any more of that under corporate rule. Not even after this starts happening to honkies & crackers too. Also coming soon: Debtors' prison. ++schadenfreude!

More Damned Bullshit On The Los Angeles Media Front

A look at the erosion of editorial independence at Los Angeles magazine, which was bought in late 2022 by Mark Geragos and Ben Meiselas' Engine Vision Media  —  The editor of Los Angeles magazine recruited new owners, who promised to invest in ambitious journalism.  The trouble was, he believed them.

Did you think this had to do w/ the L.A. Times? This does:

More Than 70 People Reported Feeling Ill After Eating Oysters At L.A. Times ‘101 Restaurants’ Food Event

Ragusano is disappointed that the L.A. Times didn’t publicly disclose that there was an outbreak at their event. “Obviously they’re not going to print it in their paper,” Ragusano said. “But they‘re a newspaper and newspapers are supposed to share the news. This is how people usually find out about something like this,” she added. “It's ironic because it happened to them.”

A damn shame that stupid South African jerk wasn't there.

Or is stoppping pointless consumption a positive thing? Could be.Good to use a car, too. Much more efficient, & much easier to obtain than a gun. Course, if you have a gun it's even easier to get your hands on a murdermobile! I know what I'm doing when my time comes.

Nuking Your Bank Acc't.

You'll never go broke underestimating the intelligence or simple common sense of the simple common folk cretinous chumps who comprise this benighted nation.Everything old is new again, dragged out & reused because the chumps never learn anything. The first thing any of you should learn is that there is no hope. You think your bunker will grow food for however long the nuclear winter lasts? Every time it rains it'll be me, pissing on your shallow unmarked graves.

Decivilization May Already Be Under Way

The brazen murder of a CEO in Midtown Manhattan—and the cheering reaction to his execution—amounts to a blinking-and-blaring warning signal for a society that has become already too inured to bloodshed.

By Adrienne LaFrance

Gawdamighty, stop the fucking hand-wringing you cretin. Homo sapiens is a vicious killer species, & this particular nation is psychotic enough to allow any killer ape to have & use battlefield weapons, while allowing capitalism & its handmaiden, greed (Or is that the other way around?) to murder anyone who hasn't the money to pay for medical care & drugs. This society has never been "civilized". Anyone who believes it ever was is either an ignorant moron or yet another two-bit, two-faced hypocrite. How'd you get a job typing for a once-prestigious rag like The Atlantic? 

I certainly haven't been civil to anyone in about 10 yrs., & why the fucking hell should I be civil to morons, hypocrites & stupid apes?
