FRIDAY 'ROUND-THE-HORN: THE HITS JUST KEEP ON COMIN' EDITION.

lol

Sorry I missed last week’s edition -- guess I'm really due for a vacation. Or a nervous breakdown. In either case, as St. Augie said, not yet.

In a way I didn’t miss much: The deterioration of our once-great nation proceeds apace. One development that came during my bye-week was the Prestige Press’ spasm of ass-covering over the Gaza genocide -- or, if you’re one of those folks who need to well-akshually the situation, the indiscriminate mass slaughter of thousands of innocents, there, does that make you feel better. This extended twinge of conscience-pretense seems already to be fading as Netanyahu announces the occupation of the wreckage, preparatory no doubt to the grotesque development the fascists have planned for it -- and by the way, if you believe the planted stories about Trump yelling at Netanyahu for killing too many people are legit, stop and think why you’re being let to hear about it; it’s all kayfabe and crocodile tears.

Grim, right? Well, we got a few laughs out of it with Bolt Upright and the Received Opinion crew at Roy Edroso Breaks It Down (REBID), my subscription Substack: Here’s a free link -- two more freebies further down! I’m tardy but generous.

In recent days there have been some absolutely surreal stories — such as (speaking of press manipulation) the alleged attempted “unarmed carjacking” of “Big Balls” Coristine in DC (FREE REBID LINK!), publicized with a picture of BB with Butler, PA-style bloodstreaks and followed by Tubby sending federal officers into the streets of Washington to strut and posture on his behalf. While I enjoy the idea of the little shit getting smacked around by tweens, I’m pretty sure it’s a put-up job. Being mainly known for his vandalism of federal infrastructure and scummy cybercrime connections, Coristine could use an image upgrade if he wants to remain an up-and-coming fash weasel, and is clearly sufficiently morally bankrupt to cooperate with such a scam. The only question is whether even brain-damaged MAGA dummies will give a shit.

As for that weird AI “interview” with a guy who got murdered at Stoneman Douglas High eight years ago (ALSO FREE REBID LINK!): In the words of Curly from The Three Stooges, ngnnnyaahhh. It’s fascinating to see billionaire creeps pushing this shit on us when nearly every real person who ever comes in contact with it is repulsed. We never should have let them have that much money. Of course, there are remedies to that, and I’m willing to entertain the less violent ones first, but only if they actually get done

And since I last pushed out a REBID issue, things have just gotten worse, with some nut shooting up CDC HQ, apparently because he was convinced by nutjobs like the current Secretary of Health and Human Services that the COVID vaccine fucked him up. I know I’m not the only one who sees the absolute necessity of getting ourselves out from under these psychopaths and, further, I’m sure there are way more who think so than the zombies who think it’s great.  The question is what we’re going to do about it and who among our electeds is willing to lead the charge.
