Friday Freak Out

it's actually the story of a large gorilla. You all know the story I'm sure. The gorilla is on an island, eats bananas, has a good time all day long. Plays out there in the bushes and uh, some Americans find out about the gorilla and they hear how big he is, you know. They're very impressed with the size of the beast. So they make it to the island, you know, they check out the gorilla. And they get a thing and they catch him, you know. They catch the gorilla, and they stick him in a boat and they bring him back to the United States. And they show him off to everybody. And they make a bunch of money on the gorilla, and then they kill him.

Today In Show Bidnis

Several yrs. earlier, several of the same bits.What'll you bet every person portrayed & every person involved in the creation of these two 'toons is dead & gone?

Daily Affirmation

Of Those I Am Going To Kill, That Is!

To wit: Gentrifying parasitic slumlords, squealing rat informers, Nazi police & quack psychiatrists!! That covers 99 44/100ths of you horrid humanoids, as every damn one of you is an informer waiting to happen, whether they force it out of you or you're the extra-weaselly type who just can't wait to pick up the 'phone & drop the proverbial dime on someone. Or anyone. How can you stand yourselves?

Shutdown!

Shut It All Down!

Plan for Saturday as well. If people buy all the crap they won't buy tomorrow on Saturday it won't dent the pig economy much. As if significant numbers are even aware, let alone willing to call in sick, not to consume or whatever.

NB: If shutting it down doesn't work it'll have to be burned down, & the ashes salted. Grim but true.

Thurs. Tune

Irving Berlin's "When That Man Is Dead And Gone"

A bit of context.I'm begging you all: Apply some common sense; turn that idiotPhone on its side, & don't shoot in a mirror if you're showing text!

First Amendment Up-Date

Now prison guards are being loosed on the general population. Desperation time as the bottom of the barrel is scraped. Most of these sworn thugs are a greater danger to decent people than the vast majority of the 100,000,000 people they pretend they're going to deport.

Fuck Work!

Also School, Shopping & All Other Activities!
Stop The Bullshit Now!!

I'll be stocking up tomorrow, not that I buy much since I've no appetite. If you're really committed you'll turn off the electricity & read books by candlelight. Don't even start your fucking car.

Free Money!

Checking the envelopes atop the mailboxes I found this:

Flipped it over & saw currency!

Yes, an actual crisp uncirculated one dollar US bill, straight from the pack. Meant to make the recipient feel obligated to fill out & return the survey. Pew Research sent me a dollar w/ a survey once. Don't remember if I responded.

Same reason Reader's Digest sent a penny w/ their subscription solicitations in the '60s. That's some inflation.

Going out to blow it on something stupid right now!!

Meanwhile, On YouTube ...

In the name of all that's holy*, what did I watch for this to be offered me? Nothing I can remember.Anyone know what she's talking about? Is this some form of "Jews for Jesus", but don't call him "Jesus"?

I do like her claim that the gummint is Gawd's punishment. Har har har! Gettin' it good & hard, Yankee pig-dogs!!

*Remember kids, nothing is sacred!

Really, What Are These Things Doing?

This one just sat there. 1627.

I crossed the street. Still there, 1632.

Post-foraging, one of its friends passed in the other direction, at 1648.

Be a real shame if the batteries ran down & someone had to go w/o lunch, but this reporter suspects it's full of surveillance equipment tracking all the animals as they go to the watering hole Ralphs.

Police Terror At A Mickey D's

Vicious looking thug is arrested, after the two coppers went into the McDonald's & then came out looking for him. He didn't appear to resist.

Another SUV arrives. Do they get lonely & call their friends, or do they really need two cars & four ossifers to take & keep one poor wretch in custody?

I know what EBT & SNAP are, what's ACC?

Public Service Announcement ... Or Paid Advertising?

Civilization ...

Can't legally get a rod, but a hatchet is quite viscerally satisfying.

... Is An Organized Mass Murder Machine

So let's get that puppy cranked up & spitting out the bodies!! We start w/ the Nazis, MAGAs, Republicans & other pond scum & move right along to the few, if any non-Nazi corporate types: Off w/ their heads too, corporatism is fascism!! Then the religious morons. No more fairy tales. If you can't live w/o a big book of lies telling you how to live, you shouldn't be living. The slumlords, the managers & bosses, the WATBs, the list is infinite. Then the undifferentiated tissue that comprises the mass of humanity who just take the orders. Cleanse the world & the planet, now!

In case you don't get it (And why should you? Most of you sub-humans are indeed humorless, literal-minded morons.) each time I rant & rage about seeing you shitheel motherfuckers dead dead dead at my or anybody's hands it is an exercise in free speech & self-expression. You Nazi bitches can't fucking censor me or control what I think, type, or shout from the roof-tops unless you're willing to murder me. Oh wait, you are. Well, fuck ICE too.

If that sawed-off four-eyed hair-coloring rat bastard informer I once considered a friend (What a chump I was. Never had an actual friend in my life.) hadn't called the police on me & my righteous justified rage twice* & the fucking pigs hadn't decided they didn't like me & my attitude & sent me to Collge Behavioral Health (There's a mother-fucking euphemism!! Kill every one of those traffickers in human misery, & they'll fucking deserve it too!!) in Glendora I wouldn't be so angry all the damn time! And what did a stay on Glendora cost the gov't., or do for my "mental health?" I'm sure it costs an arm & a leg to keep someone jailed, & you may notice that my anger, rage, ire & general level of suffering have only increased exponentially after being treated not unlike somene condemned to the Gestapo by a squealing Nazi rat.

A complete waste of money then, as well as the money I will get from the city. I own you all, Mayor Bass, Police Chief Piggly-Wiggly & the corrupt city council! Hand over the treasury!!

---

*And the time in the previous decade or so when I typed that I was sick of living & wasn't going to waste the money I'd saved for dentures but was going to buy a gun & start the killing. What a moron. Say you want to or are going to kill someone until you're blue in the face but no one cares, but add the element of how sick & tired you are of living here & now w/ these people & there's no reason at all for anyone's continued existence & they suddenly notice. An entire planet of easily-played sucker-ass chumps. Tell me why you don't all deserve to die painfully.

P.S.: Still don't have any dentures. Or a gun, for which I'm very sorry now. And I'm sorry I wasted the first hr.-&-a-half of consciousness today typing & polishing this load which will be viewed by maybe 40 idiots in a world w/ 1.3 billion+ Anglophones. And I'll guess those 40-odd are potential rats looking for something to bitch about to the pig authorities. Fuck everybody & everything twice w/ a splintered broomstick!!

Sly Dunbar Has Left To Zion

As good a time as any to go.The Wiki sez Double Barrel was the first album he played on.Well reviewed. Could go on for hrs., as he & his (predeceased, 2021) musical associate Robbie Shakespeare created hrs. of good stuff. Thanks to both.

Good News For Once

I will not be held in a cage on the word of pigs w/o exacting revenge!

Army vet wins $6.8 million from jury after suing LAPD over mental health ‘5150’ hold

Ah hah!! An attorney who specializes in "civil rights lawsuits involving police brutality and excessive force." Maybe this shithole city will settle instead of trying to defend its fascist police force. If not, we'll see them in court! (I'll settle for half what Mr. Douglas got, & a chance to beat the living crap out of the cops & psychiatric jailers who brutalized me. Lookin' at a future millionaire, baby!!)

In an interview with The Times, Douglas said the helplessness and humiliation he felt at being detained still leaves him angry.
[...]
Douglas said he feels somewhat vindicated by the jury’s decision, and is eager to start putting the incident behind him. But he still has trouble sleeping, he said, sometimes snapping awake in the middle of the night, thinking about the ordeal.

I don't wake in the middle of the night for anything but the usual. But I'm pissed, raging & ready to kill once I have the energy to stay awake & contemplate my existence.

NB: It's free speech. Satire or sarcasm. I've every damn right (& reason) to despise everything & to say so out loud for everything to hear. After I wake up angrier than hell & ready to kill I type as much, as a challenge to all the literal-minded rats looking for any excuse to call the police, but then I don't arse myself to kill anyone. Att'ys. for the City of Los Angeles trying to defend the city's fascist police by poring over this web-log can go eff themselves. Their laws & everything else in this miserable world are all stupid jokes; nothing is real but the pain & suffering I've endured for so many yrs., yet no one takes that seriously. I can just go fuck myself, right? No wonder I'm reduced to ranting & raving. And what did I get? Fucked again. Thank you all for your care & concern in this matter. Now go die in a fire.

First Amendment News

Two completely hetero lumberjack types discuss Gawd's Luv.Bet those two spend a lot of time chopping wood in their manly flannels. And grooming their beards.

Clever idea: How 'bout we burn all them Hebrews while we're burning their book? No one's ever tried that before.

Warning: Distressing/Disturbing Content

The witnesses are certainly distressed & disturbed. As everyone should be.Almost as disturbing but to be expected is the immediate lying. They must believe there are enough chumps out there that they'll literally be able to get away w/ murder.

Already Too Late, Innit?

Not even strongly-worded. Jeeziz you wimp, you're not running for anything. You can get angry. Outraged, even!
Ever hear of the Second Amendment? The remedy's right effing there. Say it!

Nazi Of The Day

Also, your fucking thugs can choose not to murder someone in custody in cold blood. And we can choose not to listen to posing Nazi buffoons in costumes. Bugger off, you twit!

They had just come from a clash in a nearby park between locals and Gregory Bovino, the camera-mugging senior Border Patrol official, who had been on the scene in Minneapolis personally for weeks, ducking in and out of the action, often dressed in a military-style greatcoat that invited, and received, Gestapo comparisons. Someone pulled out a phone to show me a video of Bovino minutes earlier, personally lobbing a green-smoke grenade at some protesters, with the jocular informality of a backyard barbecue host tossing a tallboy to a newly arrived neighbor. As they left, once again a federal agent dropped a magazine of live ammunition in the street. Officers from Bovino’s agency would shoot and kill Pretti less than a mile away three days later.

"Please keep buying our products!"

All soon to be destroyed by a tornado (or flood) but were there campaign signs they'd read "Stevenson '56".

I hope the wretched old son-of-a-bitch whose model railroad I saw on YouTube w/ a "TRUMP 2024" sign on a rooftop is dead now, but if not I hope Lumpy gave him what for. From Broadway Limited Imports:

Tariff Information

Dear Customers and Industry Partners, 

In May 2025, the U.S. government imposed a 30% tariff on model trains imported from China—products that had been tariff-free until 2025.  This change significantly increases the cost of production for U.S. based model train companies.  At Broadway Limited, we want to provide you with a clear explanation of what’s happening, how it affects you, and what steps we’re taking in response.

What Tariffs Mean for Model Train Pricing and Availability:

A tariff is a tax collected by the US government from US companies when we import a product.  Trains from China now have a 30% tariff, meaning a model costing Broadway Limited $300 would have a tax of $90, making our total cost $390.  Manufacturers, importers, distributors and hobby stores can absorb some of this, but the retail price will still rise.  In June 2025, BLI adjusted the dealer pricing and retail pricing where necessary to cover the portion of the tariff that we cannot absorb.   We hope that recent negotiations between the US and Chinese governments will make further increases unnecessary. 

What Is Broadway Limited Doing About Tariffs?

Six years ago, BLI started manufacturing in Vietnam.  Products from Vietnam have a 20% tariff.  Progress has been slow, but we now import 1/2 of our product from Vietnam.  BLI would like to manufacture in the US, but the tool makers and component suppliers are not available here, and since the tariffs were implemented at such a high rate with almost no warning, we would be bankrupt before we could start production.  To prevent this, we are producing more Vietnam and increasing prices on products from China and Vietnam.  We are also starting to get quotes from US tool makers for future products.

BLI is participating in the Hobby Industry Coalition, a group of companies in the hobby industry cooperating to lobby to exclude hobby products from tariffs.  www.hobbycoalition.org.

How can you help?

Please keep buying our products!  We have done all we can to minimize the price increases, but we need our customers to continue supporting us and our dealer network.

Broadway Limited would like our government to negotiate with China and other nations to eliminate unfair trade practices without destroying the model train industry.
Congress has the power to negotiate tariffs. Use the links below to contact your senators and representative asking them to reduce these tariffs on model trains to a reasonable level and implement them gradually to save our hobby and the jobs of American workers employed in the industry.

Contact your Senator: https://www.senate.gov/senators/senators-contact.htm
Contact your State Representative: https://www.house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative
You can also send a message to the President at: https://www.whitehouse.gov/contact.
You can email the US Trade representative, Ambassador Jamieson Greer at: engagement@ustr.eop.gov.

Thank you for your support!

Daily Affirmation

Pretty picture to distract from the grim & unfortunate truth typed below. People made me this way.

I will live to see every last squeaking (& squealing) rat bastard one of you dead, preferably at my hands, the minute I have the strength, energy & some weapons. Believe me, the desire is there.

P.S.: Already dealt w/ the parental units; who's next?

10 Rounds In The Back Of A Disarmed Man Does Sound Like A "Massacre"

Political Wire beats the paywall.

“Federal officials sought to portray a 37-year-old Minneapolis resident killed by Border Patrol agents on Saturday as a domestic terrorist, saying he wanted to ‘massacre’ law enforcement, even as videos emerged that appeared to directly contradict their account,” the New York Times reports.

“The man, Alex Jeffrey Pretti, was an intensive-care nurse described by the Minneapolis police chief as a U.S. citizen with no criminal record. Federal officials said he was armed, but there is no sign in videos analyzed by The New York Times that he pulled his weapon, or that agents even knew he had one until he was already pinned on the sidewalk.”

“An agent had already removed Mr. Pretti’s gun when two other agents opened fire, shooting him in the back and as he lay on the ground. At least 10 shots were fired, killing him. Mr. Pretti had a legal permit to carry a firearm, said the police chief, Brian O’Hara.”

They have him down, take his permitted weapon away & then the murderer shoots him several times. See anything being "brandished"?
