It’s The Weekend! [DOT 11/7/20]


Happy Saturday! It’s been a busy week, at least for me. If it was for you as well you may have missed this, or this, or this.

And, as if you needed more to catch up on this weekend, here’s what else is going on. But don’t worry, Saturday Morning Brain Drain will be along at 10 to relieve you from the news.


File to “Are you kidding me with this bullshit right now?”

Trump commutes sentence of confidant Roger Stone. He was set to go to prison July 14 for lying to Congress and witness tampering.

UMMM has she been kidnapped? (I mean, one can only hope.)


This is my shocked face. :/

The top writer for Fox News host Tucker Carlson has for years been using a pseudonym to post bigoted remarks on an online forum that is a hotbed for racist, sexist, and other offensive content, CNN Business learned this week.

Hard to believe that someone who writes for the fish stick heir’s talk show might be a complete bigot and jackass. I won’t bother to air all of what he said, but here’s a quick sample of his work:
“I wouldn’t get LASIK from an Asian for free, so no.”


Due to this…

We’ll probably see a lot more of this. [BTW, everyone should read this. cw: sadness. Mr. Urquiza looks like a lovely person and I’m sorry for his friends and family. Just one face out of 130,000, so far.]


I, for one, welcome our new Rat Overlords.

It can only be an improvement, as far as I’m concerned.


Have a super Saturday!

  1. …they are sadly not kidding with the stone thing

    …but it is some outrageous bullshit & when I caught a notification about it as I was waking up it took me from “why-am-I-awake/am-I-awake to what-the-fuck-wide-eyed-outrage with the swiftness

    …but I need coffee before I deal?

  2. its the weekend


    i guess i should be gratefull to whatsisface..neff?
    that fucker gave me a perfect setup for a comment
    *shamelessly copy pastas from oppo*
    wait…tucker carlsons writer resigned after writing racist shit?
    the fuck was he writing before?

  3. I’ve decided that I need a hobby to help myself deal with all the bullshit. I’ve settled on wood working. Should be therapeutic. 
    Also, anyone here able to translate French?

  4. Buck bet says Trump pardons himself before years end. 
    That Bobby Mcferrin song has actually aged quite well. And is that Robin Williams in the video??

    Edit/add: The pharell song came out,what, 6 7 years ago? Different times…

  5. Oh Roger, you stupid arrogant sack of shit.  Don’t you know that everything that Trump touches turns to shit?  He probably fucked up commuting the sentence or done something that will be enough to send your sorry ass to jail.
