As is the custom here, posting will be intermittent over the holidays and readers are advised to follow me on X, or subscribe to the blog feed at the very bottom of the page, either of which will alert you to anything new as and when it materialises.
Thanks for another 1.5 million or so visits this year and thousands of comments, many of which prompted discussions that are much more interesting than the actual posts. Which is pretty much the idea.
And particular thanks to all those who’ve made PayPal, Ko-Fi, or SubscribeStar donations to keep this rickety barge above water. It’s much appreciated. Should you be gripped by a seasonal urge to express encouragement via currency, by all means use the buttons below this post.
Just think of my little face lighting up.
Curious newcomers and those with nothing better to do are welcome to rummage through the Reheated series in search of entertainment. You may find things you’d missed. And this, needless to say, is an open thread.
To you and yours, a very good one.

That’s not a forehead, it’s a fivehead.
I follow the link, read the article, then notice the list of related articles.
Lotta sick SOBs on your side of the pond, lads.
On the woolliness of rehabilitation.
Heh. Missing “Man lights woman on fire in subway, walks away from crime without being stopped”. Tho that is kinda awkward. The wording, I mean.
Bless you, barkeep. Ping! And merry Christmas.
No, no, bless you, sir. May your gaffes go unnoticed by others.

And again, thanks to all who’ve chipped in, or subscribed, or done shopping via the Amazon link, including all those much too shy to say hello. It’s much appreciated and is what keeps this place here.

What gave the game away? Did some of her votes suddenly seem sensible?
Skillz.
The male pattern baldness doesn’t make me question claim vs truth at all, no sir.
She’s just a modern woman looking for a tradhusband, and going about it all the wrong ways.
And on this side of the pond….

A tale of two cities, Ft. Lauderdale, a docked boat blows up and burns, boat behind helps people get off burning boat, fire extinguisher deployed – one person (probably the guy blown into the water) dead, 5 injuries, most people are headed towards the fire, not standing around gawking.

On the other hand, you can see several boats cruise past without stopping.
Another red flag for men to watch out for
“I was involved in deplanetizing Pluto”
On the other hand, you can see several boats cruise past without stopping.
A pontoon boat full of people, a cruise boat full of people, and a couple small boats with people who were probably fishing. What, exactly, do you expect them to do? As it is the boat behind that was helping also caught fire.
Approach, look for people in the water, offer assistance.
How is belief in ‘rehabilitation’ any different from Lysenkoism?
The insanity of modern “liberalism”, dressed up in pseudo-intellectual philosophizing.
That she’d stopped voting was the signal.
In case you were wondering.
“Rhubarb! Rhubarb! Rhubarb!”
Approach, look for people in the water, offer assistance.
Approach – how close? The first boat is already adrift so close enough to catch fire like the second boat already helping or possibly get caught in a secondary explosion because the cause of the initial explosion is unknown to the passing boaters?
Look for people and maybe run over someone in the water in the dark? Assistance? I am sure the 5lb fire extinguishers (if they even have them on the dinky boats) are going to do a hell of a lot with that inferno and the bandaids in the “first aid” kits (if they even have one) are just the thing for burns.
Sometimes the best assistance is to stay the hell out of the way of the people already doing something.
Aside from the weirdo, why the hell does the White House need this battalion of interns?
Goopy.
That looks like it’s the docks by 15th Street Fisheries. We were planning to stop there at some point this week. Apparently a similar but non lethal accident happened at the same dock on Dec. 5, according to the comments further down.
More representative than not.
Yeah. No. That’s a very busy area, just outside of a very popular restaurant where wait times are at least a half hour. Unless one had medical or fire training, best to keep your boat away and not complicate things. Just on the other side of that bridge is Port Everglades and a canal right there is where a number of port authority service boats, police, etc. are docked.
Apparently, Christmas is “destroying the planet.”
Guess which newspaper.
Fireproof.

Mulled gin?
Idiocracy isn’t being realised by morons breeding like rabbits.
Ping!
Merry Christmas everyone, especially our host.
Bless you, madam. May your home be free of terrible smells.

The NAACP is increasingly desperate to find reasons to continue to exist.
That thing that never happens garnered 100-year prison sentences without parole.
Well, yes. They’ve abandoned their mission, becoming parasitical gadflies in the process.
The problem is they have some sway with the sort or adamantine idiots that make up that school board.
Unless they are kept in solitary 24/7/365, their time served may be rather brief.
Oh, if only, if only the “never happens” crowd could suffer as their victims did.
Not just idiotic white liberals. Also evil white leftists. And black racists.
Half the people at the NAACP are this. The other half are sun-tanned Klansmen.
When I saw the headline my first thought was that it would be about New York liberals, as psychotherapy has been fashionably popular among those idiots for a very long time.
I see what you did there. But I doubt you mulled for long. Cheers!
“They [Progressives] think it’s really, really, really important that the disorder be as in your face as possible. Deeply revealing.”
Indeed. Rubbing people’s faces in such things is a big part of leftism.
Sadism is one of the dark personality traits associated with leftist ideology.
