This is sad news.   

Good news is that Russia is still banned for whenever it gets rescheduled   And I think it will get rescheduled to 2022.  I remember being a kid, you had the winter and summer Olympics in the same year and then they switched it up so it alternated every two years between winter and summer olympics.  But that meant there had to be 2 years between Olympics to start that alternation and as a result you had the '92 winter Olympics in Albertville and the '94 Nancy Kerrigan Knee Games in Lillehammer.

So it's not unprecedented to have two years between Olympics.  That, and I don't think Japan would allow their time to pass without hosting it.  They'll get it figured out.

The legend.  Took me a second to figure out who the quote was from until I read "I say, 'Hey, Tex..." then I knew.

Also saw something that the Steelers are looking at Hue Jackson for OC.

You can mark January 21st, 2021 as the day the Steelers fortunes took a turn for the worse.

they had me at the name and then the look of each one of them, and then they sound great and ooze cool

 

 

That is a fantastic record.  I just went to their website and they have a deluxe version they released and of course it's sold out.

I'm against the policy of allowing born men competing with born women and the opposite as well.  This meme says it all for me. Plus it erases Title IX protections for females and erases the class of female.

 

 

I'm against it, too.

If you're transitioning from a male to a female, you still benefit from having a lifetime of testosterone running through your body.  Probably more muscle mass than a born woman.  Different skeleton system.

That said, this picture makes me laugh.  It looks like she's competing against middle-schoolers.  

I need to see more Q tears today.

Has he been arrested yet?

This is where Trump/Q-lite Twitter is at this morning.

 

 

Yeah, it really is all about just pwning the libz at this point for a lot of the Republicans.  It's sad.

I think you’re under estimating how happy watching Trump piss off liberals makes them.  What sounds to us as unhinged political rhetoric to us, makes their right wing brains release happy slime.

 

As for the Q contingent... well they think Trump has spent four years fighting pedophile satanist communists. 

It's truly amazing that a group of people think that the Godless guy who nuzzled up to Epstein and liked going into beauty pageant dressing rooms unannounced spent four years fighting pedophile satanist communists.

I hate Trump, I really do.  But I've got to hand it to him, his ability to make people who should hate him turn into rabid, cult-like followers is ****ing amazing.  How he got the conservative Christians to adore him, where there's absolutely nothing Christian about him is stunning.

I did sorta this. My friends at my very liberal law school, each of which was some variety of liberal caricature  (vegan or feminist or Antifa or San Franciscan) bet me, the token straight white male American, that I couldn’t go vegan for a month. Not vegetarian, ****ing vegan. So I did it, as you say, out of spite. 
 

Once I won they bet me double or nothing, so I went another month. 
 

The key to eating vegan is not to try to be healthy. Vegan and healthy are a different set of rules. 
 

And if you think the transition TO a plant based diet has you running to the bathroom, wait until you transition BACK.  Lol. 

I thought about vegan, just seems too inconvenient.  

The transition back...I am now wondering if that road trip to my favorite burger place after three months that I have planned which will, at times throughout the trip, have me far from a bathroom, is worth it.

Just eat some beyond meat when you're craving it and you're all set - it's hard to tell the difference

I've had it before, it's pretty good.  Plan on trying that Impossible Whopper this weekend, I've heard good things.

Bacon is overrated.  Sausage is the king.

The bacon memes at the start of the 2010s were stupid. 

Sometimes I prefer sausage over bacon, depends on the mood.  The spicy Jimmy Dean is hard to beat, though.

Spiff's Dispatch from Domestic Bliss Volume One

Two weeks ago I notified my girlfriend that on Friday, January 15th I was going to hit a workout goal of mine and that to celebrate, I was going to get a pizza for lunch.  A whole pizza, just for me.  And that if she wanted to get a pizza for herself, well, I'd treat her to one, too.

I am a simple man, I just like extra pepperoni on my pizza.  And if I'm feeling adventuresome, add some sausage, too.  I sure as hell stay the **** away from vegetables on pizza.

Upon notifying her of my intentions, she reminded me in a way that only a female can about how I eat too much meat and not enough vegetables and to her credit, she's not wrong.  I laughed and said, "I could go vegetarian for three months straight, no problem," which made her laugh in return.

So I informed her that starting the day after my pizza, I would go vegetarian for three months.  And all of a sudden I was taking things too far because we have a lot of meat in the freezer.  But nope, it's spite diet time.

It's been a cakewalk so far, except I can't be more than 50 feet from a toilet due to all the green smoothies I've been drinking.  But I haven't missed meat as much as I thought I would.

As supporters of President Donald Trump took part in a violent riot at the Capitol, users of the social media service Parler posted videos of themselves and others joining the fray. ProPublica reviewed thousands of videos uploaded publicly to the service that were archived by a programmer before Parler was taken offline by its web host. Below is a collection of more than 500 videos that ProPublica determined were taken during the events of Jan. 6 and were relevant and newsworthy. Taken together, they provide one of the most comprehensive records of a dark event in American history through the eyes of those who took part.

I don’t think so.  By adding Harden they’ve knocked Kyrie’s locker room status down far enough that I doubt anyone is looking to him for leadership.  Kyrie is at his best when the only thing a team asks of him is to go out and get buckets.  Even if he doesn’t like it.

Looks like he doesn't like playing basketball so...

Hey, it's not all bad with Kyrie as noted Kyrie apologist @TryTheBeal!has said.  https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/30737461/brooklyn-nets-kyrie-irving-bought-house-family-george-floyd-former-nba-player-stephen-jackson-says

Whatever keeps Kyle here and focused on the draft.  

One Night In Miami, streaming now on Prime.  

The night that Muhammad Ali (then Cassius Clay) beats Sonny Liston, he and Malcolm X, Jim Brown and Sam Cooke hang out in Miami after the fight.  How much of the movie and dialogue is true, I am not exactly sure.  However, it's a really well done movie and the four discuss racism and what it means to be black, how they figure in the civil rights movement, etc.  

It's really well done.  Giving it a solid B+.

How long do you think she would last overseas or in Russia even if she did have a contact in Russia? Who says there is anything of worth on the laptop anyways? I don't think Russia is going to support a "spy" for the rest of their life for Nancy Pelosi's Amazon Wishlist.

Who says there is nothing of worth on the laptop anyway?

Stalemate.

That girl, Riley Williams.  Almost two weeks after the riot, now they're announcing that they're on the search for her.  

That laptop is long gone.  She's probably out of the country, too.

Who's our resident Tailgater of all things Richmond?  Last summer he was preparing for Richmond to be burned to the ground.  

Last I heard it's still standing.

So is their theory that Biden and Trump are actually playing the movie Face Off a troll or do they actually believe that?

Yes.

Oh crap- now I have to call up and tell all my friends that I'm an Indian-American man.  They're gonna be pissed that they've known me for decades and I never mentioned it.  I just assumed they all knew.

Dude, are you for real?  

This whole time I was thinking:

Wiz being Wiz.  

Nothing changes if nothing changes.  Trade Beal, trade Russ (if anyone's dumb enough to take him).  Fire Brooks.  Trade anyone else you can, collect draft capital.  

If you're not contending, you're reloading.  This in-between bull**** the Wizards constantly lie to their fans about is annoying.
