Good advice, I presume

Friend posted this on Facebook. It is, remarkably, quite real. I further presume that one of those top 5 guns is not the one you shot the faithless bitch with, which I presume you did (and then got rid of the gun) after she dumped you and now you’re building up an arsenal in case she comes back from the dead for revenge, cos I can’t see why else she appears as a zombie in the video thumbnail…

Scum and villainy

As a not exactly mega fan of Star Wars, I have always found Star Wars Day kind of irritating…

I made this a few years ago in “protest”

…but tonight I have discovered something interesting:

Oh?

OH.

Apparently this is something that’s always been known about, in that there was a making of book about Empire Strikes Back and this was recorded in that (albeit with slightly incorrect details), but, because I am me, I am only finding out about it now forty-seven years later. I wonder how much this influenced the later popularity of the phrase. Either way, though, I now have an actually good reason to be irritated by May the Fourth…

Abe Lincoln would like a word, too

OK. According to the story that I presume this Cody Simpson believes, Jesus was judicially killed by the Romans. Trump is still alive, even if only just, and his rotten physical health will almost certainly do him in before the courts ever will. I think that’s a slight difference between him and that Christ character (we will, of course, leave aside the theological question of whether the latter still “lives” or not)…

Geography lesson

Mark… my brother in Christ… mate… you’re only going to be a state senator if you even get that far. Even as a proper US senator, though, this would be somewhat beyond you. Hagia Sophia is in fucking TURKEY, and not even that goon Graham can do shit about it. Erdogan reopened it as mosque in the face of opposition from within his own country amd the UN. You think he gives a fuck about a trifling racist cunt like YOU? And it’s been a mosque since before the US was even a country, for fuck’s sake. It’s not exactly a new thing. I mean, Erdogan making it a mosque again in 2020 after Ataturk turned it into a museum in 1935 is probably not a good sign of Turkey’s health as a secular country, but if this Dixieland pissant thinks he’s going to stop him Islamising the place, he’s delusional…

WHCD? Whatever

I honestly don’t know what to say about the perplexing “events” at the White House Correspondents Dinner a couple of days ago, so I’m just going to let Mike Figueredo do it for me. Personally I don’t know what to make of all the “false flag” theorising that’s emerged from it…

…in that, frankly, I wouldn’t be surprised to discover it was a false flag, but I’d be equally unsurprised to discover it wasn’t. Not, of course, that we’ll ever find out either way, but still. It’s just, you know, America being America in the age of Mushroom Cock. You get up each day, have breakfast, check the news… “yeah, that’s the bullshit America’s on today, oh well, time I was getting on with my own”… I mean, someone actually did die in that 2024 shooting, which is the consideration that stops me writing that off as a hoax in the way that even MAGAts are (apparently) increasingly thinking it was. But there’s so much cynicism about what the administration does and how it does it that you can’t blame people’s cynicism about this sort of thing. A false flag? The real deal? I can honestly believe either. I don’t know either way, and I’m not sure I even care either way. It’s America’s bullshit as usual, whatever it is, and I’m just so fucking sick of it.

Who’s screening her political purchases?

Gina Rinehart calls for immigrants’ social media to be screened in Anzac memorial speech

Australia’s richest person, Gina Rinehart, called for immigrants’ social media to be screened and said children are being taught to be ashamed of the Australian flag in untelevised remarks before an Anzac memorial service on the steps of Sydney Opera House on Friday.
Rinehart’s public appearance was attended by about 4,000 people and sponsored by her company, Hancock Prospecting, and RSL New South Wales.
Rinehart claimed the Australian government was wasting money, eroding freedoms, running an ineffective defence force, leaving veterans homeless, teaching children to be ashamed of the Australian flag and doing nothing in response to “death chants”.
“Our immigration procedures must only allow immigrants who have been thoroughly checked – including their phones, iPads, laptops and social media,” Rinehart said in a speech later posted online.
“We need to protect our country – and welcome only peace-loving, contributing immigrants to our shores. This should not be controversial. What Australians really want their families’ lives hurt by terrorists?”

Quick question for Gina Rinehart: remember this guy who killed more than twice as many people as the Bondi shooters? What country did hie migrate from? What religion was he? Not surprising to discover that Gina’s a racist shit, of course, but this politicisation of that hideous event at Bondi revolts me. Curious that we’re only hearing about it now, too, given that when other racist shits booed the Welcome to Country at Anzac Day events in Sydney on Saturday we heard about that on the same day… I’d wait for the RSL to offer a statement on the matter, but I don’t feel there’ll be one…
