Nordstrom is selling pre-mudded jeans for $425 a pair. So hipsters can wear them ironically, I guess.
In its description for the pants, the company says they “embody rugged, Americana workwear that’s seen some hard-working action” and that, when worn, they show “you’re not afraid to get down and dirty.”
Wonder how much a hipster would pay for the muddy, paint-stained jeans I’ve been wearing for the last year of doing house renovations. Probably nothing since they don’t have a 26″ waist.
I look at this statue that all the idiot liberals just gush over, and all I can think of is “Stupid little girl about to get trampled to death.”
Maybe it’s because I grew up on a farm, and not in the sophisticated environs of New Yawk Citteh.

The 21st Century we thought we were going to get: Flying cars, robots, unlimited clean energy, three-day work weeks, lunar colonies.
The 21st Century we actually got: Furries battling “Neo-Nazis”
But the rise of the alt-right has ushered in the #AltFurry, a hashtag under which right-leaning furries can organize, and the uninitiated can encounter more cartoon rabbits in Nazi uniform than they possibly expected to see in their lifetimes.
So-called alt-furries are also organizing offline in groups like the Furry Raiders, which Foxler leads. Although the Furry Raiders “do not have any political agenda or stance as a group,” the group says on its website, many wear the same armband as Foxler. Foxler says he’s never paid much attention to World War II history, and didn’t notice the similarities.
Disclaimer, I don’t think alt-right is equivalent to Nazi, but the author of the piece does.
My only point is how silly the world has gotten.

Also, I have no idea what happened to the comments in the Renege and Rename thread.
Another terror attack in London, the perpetrators were not Lutherans, Methodists, Hindus, Sikhs, Bahai, atheist, Roman Catholic, Jainist, or Mormons. So, what we can conclude, therefore is, #TerrorHasNoReligion.
Also, the Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee has found evidence that — contra the claims of the Deep State — the Trump transition team was under surveillance by the US Government. Democrats — who have been promulgating deranged conspiracy theories in order to undermine the elected President — denounced the revelations as “partisan.”
BTW, did you hear that Chelsea Clinton is receiving a Lifetime Achievement Award? I’ll buy a steak dinner for anybody who can tell me anything Chelsea Clinton has actually achieved.
And the feminists are sending Donald Trump a big purple vagina filled with letters imploring him not to demean women as nothing more than sex objects. Like vaginas.
But, you gotta post something to keep the conversation going.
YouTube put some LGBTQ videos into “Restricted Mode,” and then the usual emotionally unstable people had a hissy-fit, and so YouTube backed down.
YouTube can do whatever, the social justice wankers will always find something to whine about.
A dingbat celebrity gave a speech on LGBT stuff that sent the left-wingers into a swoon. Big whoop. What else do you have to do to impress the left but say, “I reaffirm your narrative about whatever trendy thing you are pretending to care passionately about”?
That is pretty much the Left Wing’s definition of “courage.”
Sometimes I feel like I’m Captain Picard, and the SJW’s are Cardassian Torturers trying to get me to say “There are 57 Genders.”
It is imperative for the Left to get people to deny self-evident truths; it is the only way the Left can prevail.

I got nothin’
It was Mardi Gras, last week, which means some of you might be doing Lent maybe.
Also, (after the jump)Perfume released a new video. Very cute song. Better than some of their recent material. I didn’t know Tokyo had a 1,000 story three-sided skyscraper with single person glass elevators on each side. The stuff you learn from music videos.

Also, the Jeff Sessions – Russians thing is complete BS. Bernie Sanders honeymooned in the USSR and hung a Soviet flag in his office as Mayor of Burlington. And we’re supposed to believe that Democrats suddenly realized that Russians are the bad guys? And now, they literally — not figuratively — want to start World War III over “Russian hacking.” (But they never gave a damn when the Chinese hacked the OPM.)
The Mike Pence e-mail thing is also complete BS. It was totally legal, and he wasn’t hiding anything like selling influence to foreign government in exchange for donations to his sham charity.
I have a neat house and a great khet.
I’ll be on a road trip this weekend. Talk amongst yourselves. There’s nothing going on I feel like punditing on anyway.
OK, there is one thing. I think of all of the roles Patrick Stewart has played, Avery Bullock is my favorite.
Judith Dein is one of the radical left federal judges who undercut President Trump’s EO on limiting the ability of migrants from high-risk terror states from entering the USA. Someone dug up an old story about her husband that is pretty interesting.
It occurred to me on my afternoon run that the amount of outrage Democrats expressed over Donald Trump appointing an accomplished black neurosurgeon to head the Department of Housing and Urban Development was exactly equal to the amount of outrage conservatives expressed when Barack Obama gave $10 Billion to the terrorist state of Iran.
Interesting, that.
Read the whole thing, but this gets to the heart of it. (Edited because we don’t need to use the “New Jersey comma” at this blog to make our point.)
Eric Hoffer once wrote: “A man is likely to mind his own business when it is worth minding. When it is not, he takes his mind off his own meaningless affairs by minding other people’s business.” [Emphasis added]
The problem with people who hand out [fracks] like ice cream at a [gorram] summer camp is that they don’t have anything more [frack]worthy to dedicate their [fracks] to.
Think for a second. You’re at a grocery store. And there’s an elderly lady screaming at the cashier, berating him for not accepting her 30-cent coupon. Why does this lady give a [frack]? It’s just 30 cents.
Well, I’ll tell you why. That old lady probably doesn’t have anything better to do with her days than to sit at home cutting out coupons all morning. She’s old and lonely. Her kids are dickheads and never visit. She hasn’t had sex in over 30 years. Her pension is on its last legs and she’s probably going to die in a diaper thinking she’s in Candyland. She can’t fart without extreme lower back pain. She can’t even watch TV for more than 15 minutes without falling asleep or forgetting the main plotline.
So she snips coupons. That’s all she’s got. It’s her and her damn coupons. All day, every day. It’s all she can give a [frack] about because there is nothing else to give a [frack] about. And so when that pimply-faced 17-year-old cashier refuses to accept one of them, when he defends his cash register’s purity the way knights used to defend maidens’ virginities, you can damn well bet granny is going to erupt and verbally hulk smash his fucking face in. Eighty years of [fracks] will rain down all at once, like a fiery hailstorm of “Back in my day” and “People used to show more respect” stories, boring the world around her to tears in her creaking and wobbly voice.
If you find yourself consistently giving too many [fracks] about trivial shit that bothers you — your ex-girlfriend’s new Facebook picture, how quickly the batteries die in the TV remote, missing out on yet another 2-for-1 sale on hand sanitizer — chances are you don’t have much going on in your life to give a legitimate [frack] about. And that’s your real problem. Not the hand sanitizer.
Mostly, because they aren’t going around whining about pronouns and demanding to use the wrong bathrooms. You don’t see many parents insisting their kids are furries so they can get on the morning chat shows and have Savannah Guthrie tell them how brave they are.
And as long as furries don’t demand that everybody has to change everything to accommodate their kink, so long as I don’t have to learn any new pronouns (except maybe “Good Boy,”) I am totally okay with them.
Keep doing stuff like this, and y’all will totally win me over.
Of all the people of fame who died this year, I think Alan Rickman and Gene Wilder were the biggest bummers for me. Yours?
Powerline has a great rundown of the week in memes and cartoons, but they missed a couple.
Related to that, some Snowflake Barista called the cops on someone who requested ‘Trump’ on his Starbucks cup.
I was not a Trump supporter before the election, and neither was my formerly liberal partner. But the obnoxious reaction from the left — cast of Hamilton, this includes you — has made both of us reluctant Trump supporters simply because we don’t want to be identified with the horrible people and idiot celebrities who are opposing him.
The ascendancy of the Social-Justice left has unleashed so much madness in the world. I was trying to pick a story from Heat Street to comment on, but there’s just so many. And they’re all nucking futs.
