Let yer boy get a job if he needs more funds. Don't be a hate merchant and spread shit, proffy. You're better than that, or were before you got a taste of commoner dick and dropped down to ya boy's level of hate promotion...

Stick w/the trans hate posts over immigrant hate? meade hates them b/c they work harder and longer than they do... Good thing he's only competing w/cohen, eh?; 10/6/25, 10:00 AM

ting sun.
We saw the vertical part of a rainbow in the rain ahead of us. As we drove, the sun slowly set, and the blue vanished from the rainbow, and then the green, and then the yellow, and finally the rainbow was just a vertical arc of red.; 10/6/25, 12:19 PM

One Summer on Block Island we all witnessed a full circle of rainbow looking up in the clouds. I asked Mish about it and I guess it happens but quite rare..; 10/6/25, 12:41 PM

Narr said...: Per bagoh2o, I've seen full circle rainbows while flying.

And I'll use this opportunity to note that after years of YouTube viewing, I'm all of a sudden being offered a lot of video from the Prof's capitol encounters 14 years ago.

I wonder, what do it mean?; 10/6/25, 1:41 PM

“Absolutely, there are people that I don’t like,” Jane Goodall responds. “And I would like to put them on one of Musk’s spaceships and send them all off to the planet he’s sure he’s going to discover,”

Brad Falchuk, a television writer, director, and producer, asks if Musk would be on the spaceship.

“Absolutely, he’d be the host,” Goodall quips. “And you can imagine who I’d put on that spaceship… along with Musk would be Trump. And some of Trump’s real supporters. And then I would put Putin in there. And I would put President Xi.

“I’d certainly put Netanyahu in there and his far-right government,” she added. “Put them all on that spaceship and send them off.”

“In many ways, the performances of Donald Trump remind me of male chimpanzees and their dominance rituals,” Goodall told The Atlantic.

“In order to impress their rivals, males seeking to rise in the dominance hierarchy perform spectacular displays: stamping, slapping the ground, dragging branches, throwing rocks.”

Now, who does that sound like? I never saw Trump or MAGA people do much of that. For years we have been watching the left perform daily rituals of dressing up, twerking, showing their genitals to everyone including kids, simulating sex, throwing things, burning things, spitting, hitting, and shooting people dead. Goodall's failure mention or see that is a pretty clear sign that she probably died of TDS related brain damage. It's rampant.; 10/6/25, 7:37 PM
