Why I prefer flying in four-engined airliners to twin-engined ones.
Now imagine that happening to your Boeing 757 or Airbus A320 at 35,000ft over the mid-Atlantic, rather than at 5,000ft only a few miles from the airport.

From Taki:
“The irony today is that Americans keep bragging about their land of the free, yet cannot tell a joke, paint their face, whistle at a pretty girl, or even worship an ancestor without losing their careers and livelihoods. PC tyranny rules supreme; media, Hollywood, Big Tech, and academia follow strict orders; and foolish Americans pretend that they’re free.”
Analysis: TRUE. We are about as free as Germans under Hitler. And if the Left gets their way, conservative Americans will be as free as German Jews under Hitler.
This has been called “the coolest home in Britain“, but I think it should be used for target practice by the Royal Artillery.
One picture should suffice:
It has been described, correctly, as “a shipping container in a field” which would be fine except that shipping containers don’t cost nearly $5 million.
Every single person involved in its construction — from the guy who gave them planning permission, to the architect, builder and owner, all need to be flogged in the public square.
And to think that for just a little more, you could get this place instead…
See the article linked for the interiors.
Bill Bryson (yes, him again) suggests that everyone should be able to have ten things (people, concepts, activities, whatever) that they can hate, without apology or explanation.
Longtime Readers will know that I would have difficulty keeping the list to ten — as Insty would say, I really need a bigger blog to contain all the things that truly make my trigger finger itch — but if I can create universal categories of hatred, I might be able to give it a try. Let’s see how this goes, and in no specific order, my ten hates are:
Note that I have excluded mere irritants like astrology, veganism, libertarianism, cyclists, the 9mm Europellet and similar nonsense from the above list, because they are largely the result of stupidity rather than actual evil.
As for the list itself, however, I put it to you that if by some kind of magic all ten of those things were to disappear tomorrow, the world would be a far better place to live in.
Feel free to add your own hates, in Comments. Remember: no explanation or justification is necessary.
Once again, as with that tool Obama’s election, we’re looking down the barrel of a full-bore Socialist government: Presidency, Senate and House, all controlled by the Left.
We’re fucked.
You know, when Trump was elected, the Left screamed about how eeeevil he was and how he was going to send homosexualists into ghettos, how abortion was going to be made illegal, how People Of Other Nationalities / Races were going to be eliminated, etc. etc. etc. ad fucking nauseam.
And none of it came to pass.
However, we know exactly what happens when the Left comes to power because we’ve had a dry run already with Urkel’s presidency: nationalized health care, gun control, higher taxes, regulatory excess and a slumping economy.
And that will come to pass — just as it did from 2009 to 2016.
We’re going to get all that again, only worse because the Marxists have become increasingly more important in the Democrat Party, and if anyone can fuck up a country, it’s Marxists: East Germany, the Soviet Union, North Vietnam, Venezuela, pre-Pinochet Chile… the list goes on and on.
The only difference this time is that while Urkel was a slam-dunk for two terms, Biden/Harris won’t be. Unless the Marxists load the ballot boxes again.
Basically, we have to endure two full years of shit, and maybe — just maybe — the mid-term elections will shift the House back to Republican control and we can fight a holding action. Unless the Marxists load the ballot boxes again.
And that’s assuming we can find somewhere a decent successor to the Trump philosophy — and I have to say, I’m not filled with optimism that we can. If we do, however, then we have a slight chance of reversing the shit-show of the next four years.
Unless the Marxists load the ballot boxes again.
