Another reminder that QAnon is just a conspiracy theory

First, some news about the Rugrats reboot.

Betty is going to be gay in the Rugrats Paramount Plus show

Phil and Lil’s mom Betty in Rugrats has low-key always been a queer icon. Sure, she’s married to boring ol’ Howard (we wouldn’t blame you if you forgot about him). But let’s be real: Betty was gay as fuck—and now that’s actually canon. Betty will be an openly gay woman in the Paramount+ Rugrats series, and she’ll be voiced by queer actor Natalie Morales. This time, instead of her sweater having the “female” symbol, Betty’s donning a Gemini sweater. The Rugrats showrunners clearly know queer ladies love astrology.

In an exclusive statement to The A.V. Club, Morales says she’s very excited to join part of Rugrats by voicing Betty and that she thinks “anyone who watched the original show may have had an inkling Betty was a member of the alphabet mafia.” She also shares what it means to revive the character in a way that brings queer representation to such a nostalgic show. “Betty is a single mom with her own business who has twins and still has time to hang out with her friends and her community, and I think it’s just so great because examples of living your life happily and healthily as an out queer person is just such a beacon for young queer people who may not have examples of that,” she explains. “And yeah, Betty is a fictional cartoon, but even cartoons were hugely influential for me as a kid and if I’d been watching Rugrats and seen Betty casually talking about her ex-girlfriend, I think at least a part of me would have felt like things might be okay in the future.”

Next, this segment from Blues Clues and You:

Note that around the one-minute mark, when the trans beaver family comes out, they put mastectomy scars on one of the beavers.  Also, note the raised fist symbol on the microphone.

These are Nickelodeon shows.  A channel aimed directly at children.

Giving children a full, Joe Biden, double-barrel shotgun blast of LBGT sexualization.

But this is just about teaching tolerance, and not any sort of grooming by a Hollywood elite that loves to talk to little kids about gay sex.

No, that would be a conspiracy theory, you bigot.

Never, ever, ever, pay the Dane Geld, now there is going to be a beef shortage

All of JBS’s U.S. Beef Plants Were Forced Shut by Cyberattack

A cyberattack on JBS SA, the largest meat producer globally, forced the shutdown of all its U.S. beef plants, wiping out output from facilities that supply almost a quarter of American supplies.

All of the company’s fed-beef and regional beef plants were forced to shutter, and all other JBS meatpacking facilities in the country experienced some level of disruption to operations, according to an official with the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union.

Slaughter operations across Australia were also down, according to a trade group, and one of Canada’s largest beef plants was idled. That comes after a weekend attack on the Brazilian company’s computer networks, according to JBS posts on Facebook, labor unions and employees.

Hackers now have the commodities industry in their crosshairs with the JBS attack coming just three weeks after Colonial Pipeline Co., operator of the biggest U.S. gasoline pipeline, was targeted in a ransomware attack. It also happened as the global meat industry battles lingering Covid-19 absenteeism after recovering from outbreaks last year that saw plants shut and supplies disrupted.

Why did this happen?

Because Colonial Pipeline paid the ransom and Biden had “no comment” about it.

It is insanely profitable to be able to ransom huge sectors of the economy when our government doesn’t seem to give a shit.

Well, I give a shit.  Here is my idea.

I need to start a company, sort of like a cross between Executive Outcomes and a cybersecurity consultant.

Here is my business model:

Company A gets hacked with ransomware.

Company A calls us.

Our crack team of cybersecurity professionals finds out who the hackers are and where they are located.

Our crack team of pipe hitters goes to where the hackers are and engage in “counter-hacking meatspace wetwork.”

I suspect that there are a lot of very good cybersecurity and counter-hacking experts at the CIA/DIA/DOD/etc, that are not woke and might be looking for high-paying work in the private sector.  Same for pipe hitters.

I think South Africa would be a good place to set up shop for such an operation.

 

Fatherhood: you did it very wrong. (So much stupid concentrated in one event.)

This is amazing

Opa-Locka PD: Man Shoots Boy After Mistaking Paintball Gun For Real Deal – CBS Miami (cbslocal.com)

MIAMI (CBSMiami/AP) — A 10-year-old boy has been shot and wounded after homeowner mistook his paintball gun for the real deal.

Michael Williams, 26, told Opa-locka police his son begged him to drive by a home where young people were gathered Sunday night so he could fire his paintball out the window, according to a police report released Tuesday.

Wait one minute. This “father” thought it was a good idea to allow his son to do a mock drive-by shooting? Is he stupidly insane? What kind of crap is he teaching his kid? Is this like a Father-Son bonding thing? “Daddy Took Me To My First Drive-By.” ?

Williams drove by the home as his son fired off several rounds, police said. The homeowner confused the paintball for real gunfire, telling police he thought his family was being attacked. He fired one shot, which struck the child.

This is Opa-locka we are talking about, unfortunately not one of the best neighborhoods in the county crime-wise so a barrel of a gun sticking out of the window of a slow moving vehicle does not say “prank” but “lots of bullets are coming your way to kill you.”

But wait, there is more!

The boy then lost his balance and was run over by his father’s vehicle, police said.

Oh for flock’s sake! Father of the Year award right there. But there is still an extra offering of stupid by dear daddy.

No additional details on the child’s injuries or condition were released. Williams drove the child home and his mother called 911, according to police.

What was he going to do? Slap a band-aid, give him a couple of ibuprofen and wipe off the tire marks and the blood of him before going to bed for the night?

The Miami Herald reports the father was charged with child neglect with great bodily harm. According to a police report, Williams “acted recklessly by agreeing to conduct a drive-by paint ball shooting,”

That is a second degree felony which can bring him 15 years in prison. And he should serve every frigging second of it for being that monumentally stupid.

The “You keep using that word” Files: Expecting.

When the word “expecting” is used in the context of babies, it is implied that we have on of the duo in actual pregnancy and ready to bring a creature to this world.

But what this is is announce to the world they are cooking supper for the family but in reality what people get is pizza delivered from the available neighborhood franchise. Throwing a credit card payment there does not constitute culinary skills and the same principle applies for expecting a child.

Conservative Twitter underestimates this statement by Biden

I have seen this video posted to a lot of Conservative Twitter accounts:

https://twitter.com/disclosetv/status/1399837556796276742

All of them call Biden a liar and refute this claim.

Biden is a liar and this claim is total bullshit.

The problem is that Conservative Twitter underestimates the danger of this.

The point of this mendacity is simple, to justify the weaponization of the entirety of the intelligence, counter-terrorism, federal law enforcement, and local and state law enforcement communities against predominately white, middle and working-class, Middle-Americans, the Trump demographic.

The edifice exists, Bush Republicans built it after 9/11.  The Department of Homeland Security, the PATRIOT Act, everything that was created to fight radical Islamic terrorism coming from overseas to America.

Right now they can’t turn DHS, FBI, and especially the CIA against Americans with the full force that they want, it will upset the normies.  If they can sell the idea that “white supremacism” i.e., “Trump voters” are worse than Al Qaeda and 1/6 was worse than 9/11, they can convince the normies that it’s fully justified to go after Americans with the intensity and ferocity that they went after other terrorist cells.

If Trump voters are just as bad as Al Qaeda, why not be able to send them to Gitmo and waterboard them for shitposting MAGA memes on Facebook.

They are going to sell this bullshit until normies don’t object to having MAGA hat-wearing family members bagged and hauled off to a black site.

 

“You won’t get me to take the Covid shot .. wait.. what do you mean free guns?”

You gotta love the South.

West Virginia will be giving away guns as an incentive to get residents of the state inoculated against COVID-19.

Gov. Jim Justice (R) announced a new incentive lottery program for residents to get vaccinated during a news conference on Tuesday

The drawings will run from Father’s Day on June 20 to Aug. 4, and will include a variety of prizes from cash to firearms and even trucks.

If they offer free ammo, I am moving there and taking the shots again!
