Hmmm. With Britain melting down, Iran melting down, Minnesota melting down, soon the whole structure will be melting down, and very possibly it will take everything with it. Be alert, be skeptical, verify every fact if you can find one. Good luck with that last one...

Without trying to be too graphic, saying goodbye to NPR gives me the same calm, contented state of mind as if I had just squatted down and unloaded a Guiness-Book-record nineteen-pound "viable candidate" on the steps of the DNC and didn't bother to flush. The circling flies are bringing tears of joy to my eyes. Or maybe it's the smell...

If that wasn't AI, then Europe is coming to an end. The Brits will have to fight with pitchforks and tractors if the Government dissolves with that hatred and scorn displayed by the Labor Party. The war will start in the House of Commons and spread to the House of Lords as folks in the streets go after immigrants. It will spread beyond Britain to each nation across the pond until Europe is aflame. God help us if that happens. Our military isn't yet up to fighting a world war to save ourselves.

That reminds me~~~
Long time ago on another board years before I landed here, me old dino had a fictional socialist telling some fictional others that "My brand of socialism will this time work because I'm gonna do it with good ole Yankee ingenuity."

HAD to +1 that, LibertyPen! I'm amazed at how many people really don't know the difference.

Right, it will be bad, but not gas chambers. NYC becomes the next Detroit, and no one cares because Wall Street moved out!

Undoubtedly, but it will pour water on the present childish raging of children (<35), and take a while to build back the cloud of lies, envy and victim hood. Soros will be dead by then, and his son will have died of venereal disease or AIDS.

When we prepare to take ponies to a birthday party we always look on Gargle Maps first, and if there is any possible doubt we discuss the location with the client. We want to know the route and how we will park the trailer. We print out a paper map, and locate good landmarks for any difficult-to-find turns. What we don't ever do is just head out hoping that our GPS will get us there. Turning around the truck and horse trailer to correct for an error is a lot of extra bother and lateness we don't need.

As for ponies, if anyone reading this happens to know little kids anywhere on the planet who want a pony, go and hunt on the internet for the local people who do pony rides. We only do central North Carolina, but we have colleagues everywhere who are wondering how they can do rides for kids whose parents have no idea that pony rides are even possible.

"Go ahead, bite the Big Apple, don't mind the maggots!" - Rolling Stones

You make a good point here, Thor! It would be best if a large metropolitan area like NYC could fail completely to demonstrate the cancer before it can spread and/or become completely deadly. The Stalin/Mao solution to their failure was to murder people by the millions and confiscate everything they had to force their Marxist plan to work. NYC won't be able to get away with that - at least I don't think so! IMHO, Mamdani is a wannabe Stalin/Mao who doesn't have the enslave-by-slaughter card to throw down and I hope he is stopped before he gets it.

After the inevitable collapse, they'll just say that he didn't do socialism right, and the next time will work.

Lather, rinse repeat.

I've been thinking about Death Wish ever since I heard Mamdani was running for mayor.

What happens now won't be pretty, but they voted for it.

Governments, like diapers, should be changed often and for the same reasons!

Nothing new, either.

It's just so astounding to compare this current state of affairs with the evoking imagery of industry , freedom, and rationality that inspired Ayn Rand upon her arrival. As she found out, the rot of worms in the Big Apple was already hard at work.

imo, it's the movie industry's psy-ops mostly affecting undisciplined minds ripe for manipulation.
Power corrupts and will use every tool to maintain and gain more power.
I did enjoy the actual justice of the original Death Wish movie.
Impale the traitors on the national mall.
Government will never seek justice when it is the source of criminal acts.

All Death Wish movies were worth watching.
Even the one with Willis.

IMHO.

Why, same stuff, different days. They cover a range of people who are impacted by this crap. Yes, usually the poor take the brunt. But Willis is targeted because he is rich. Stealing his address from his GPS in his car was a nice touch in my opinion. (I don't care if they track everything, I am not breaking the law. UNTIL the trackers start breaking the law, or their systems are hacked, and now they know: Your Address, Your Purchases, and your LACK of weapons!)

It's funny how the movies that are popular move with the sentiment of the country. Sometimes ahead of it. Hence the amount of Dystopian films over the past 20yrs...

The motorcycle cop ticket one is FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!

Outstanding collection, OUC! Thank you. 👍

Me dino shall cheer the NYC collapse also!
Go, go, stupid is as stupid does! Go!

The BEST thing that can happen to NYC is economic and societal collapse following implementation of totalitarian policies.

We should not be resisting these policies. We should be cheering their overwhelming implementation, demonstrating their complete failure. NYC people elected their leader overwhelmingly. We do not try to save these people.

Go, go government control and socialism in NYC!!! Go!

Show us your failure. Become a Abysmal, negative example ... so the ignorant can finally learn.

That kangaroo made me think of a couple of them also -

An excellent start, with the chess reference! And watching him walk on occasion I think he does walk that slowly!
And the sketch of the bathroom intruder - that is funny -
And the hitch -hiker - been there on that one, brought back some memories...
As always, a great collection! Thanks OGC!

Yeah, I hate it when that happens. LOL

Nicely done, OUC! Shuffle the deck and lay 'em down for our enjoyment. I got a kick out of the UPC hair-do. Seatbelt ticket from a guy on a motorcycle really makes you go "hmmmmm". Ooooo, I've seen the look on Jonah's wife's face - chilling. The last one - I've been GPS confused a couple of times and wished I had a paper map!

Me dino can play chess but I never got a chessboard for Christmas.
Google maps? Yesterday for looking outside and seeing everything wet instead of dry also reminded me not to trust a Googled weather forecast.
The meme with the kangaroo made me think of my ex-wife.
Speaking of women? Hey, Frosty! Don't you know it ain't nice to scare them like that?
