Monday Mood [DOT 6/4/26]

Hope everyone had a nice Easter weekend. I made a lemon cake, but I’m not assembling it until Wednesday so you’ll have to wait to hear how it is. I made homemade lemon curd to go with it.

  1. I know, I know, but if any Democratic politician, including those who are Muslim, put “Praise Be to Allah” in a post, Fox News would scream about it until the heat death of the universe.

  2. Apparently, General George was fired for telling Racist/Sexist/Fascist shithead Kegsbreath no. He didn’t approve of Kegsbreath’s holding up promotion of black and female officers.

    It’s always about affirmative action/DEI, but they only want it for white incompetent men. Fuck everyone else. Seen it up close and personal at the Pill Factory and to a lesser extent, Nortel especially when the GE Welch clones/clowns took over. Makes for quite a toxic workplace culture.

    I’ll give the folks at Nortel credit. After OUR managing director Joel H. physically assaulted a woman for flipping him off after he pushed his way into a crowded exit line (OUT OF TURN!) leaving the parking lot after a UNC footbawl game. Our coward of a CEO refused to fire him as PER HIS LEADERSHIT GUIDELINES.

    The team I was a part of was part of his team (at the very bottom) and we (and pretty much the entire dept) did malicious compliance till that motherfucker had to be “transferred” as he created an environment so toxic by his own hand. It was rumored that he had been threatened with a physical beating by one his own dept heads and he ran away like the fucking coward he was (he was okay attacking weaker underlings and women, but not someone who could tear him apart.)

  3. my news is now reporting that israel and the us are hitting irans petrochemical plants now (cnn only mentioning israel)
    soooo…hope no ones planning to have cheaper gas any time soon…

    • …iran keep saying “not interested” as fast or faster than he can churn these out but it’s a weird thing…he says this stuff…& the price sort of stutters a little before they go back to watching the ratchet move up…I don’t get paid enough to pretend to understand how that shit adds up…but…when you’re in it to take a rake on the movement & you don’t much care which way it goes so long as you can say your number went up…you can apparently still trade on the baked in “white house says” coefficient even when it’s clear he’s twisting in the wind while shitting himself because someone else *always* cleans up enough of his mess to let him tell himself he handled business…&…nobody will let him pass the buck…short of mask-off coup-tastic insanity 2 terms is all she wrote…his threat has always been that he cuts bait on you & then sics the pack on you…& he admires putin among other things because even when he was between presidential terms everyone understood the “president” did as he was told & it was just to observe the formalities of the wording on the paperwork…& maybe he thinks he can pull that shit & run the party from the sidelines the way no president ever had the gall to after washington set a fairly significant precedent in that whole ballgame-after-the-ballgame or whatever ball-know-ers call that?

      …there’s clearly no earthly way short of an animatronic weekend at bernie’s deal that would be uncomfortably close to the OG westworld that any power on earth can make that happen…he can’t pull shifts on camera like alex jones like an all-day, every-day posting-while-he-talks tik tok teen live-streaming the engagement-farming crap he can churn out while he gets to play by “campaign finance” rules…somewhere down the line this thing gives every appearance of going up like a fireworks factory in a forest fire

      …but it’s kinda weirdly of a piece with the thing that “the money” where that meets fossil fuels as essential commodity…any excuse for slowing down how fast the pain is finding new thresholds…&…breaking those…maybe it just looks like a respite…like you know it’s a mirage but you’re just that fucking thirsty?

      • honestly…unless donnie pulls a cartman and has a fuck you guys im going home moment…. which for the record yes please…do that….i dont see this going anywhere but up like a fireworks factory..

        no way for donnie to spin just leaving into a win now tho…so you know… not gonna happen is it…

        doesnt make me too happy that…
        im very secure in my job…but blow up enough oil infrastructure…and im gonna say even my cushy contract looks shaky

      • might be a case of mad working out…

        coz you know..whilst it wasnt designed with the us as the agressor in mind….the principle remains unchanged.. launch one..launch all
