Summer Low-Carb Treat?
They used to make sugar free popsicles. They don't seem to make those anymore. But searching on Amazon, I found sugar-free sno-cone syrup and disposable popsicle mold bags. You know, the bags that hold the freezer pop.
I just got the bags, so I can't tell you how it all works together, but I got the snow-cone syrup last night and have been eating a lot of popsicle-flavored ice cubes. Pretty darned good!
When the freezer pops freeze, i'll let you know how they are. I made like 15. I will probably eat like 10.
I'm wondering if having so much ice will dull hunger pangs during a fast.

76 In 2014 I said:
In five years,
FOX will be CNN
CNN will be MSNBC
MSNBC will be Pravda

Nailed it, though I'm not sure MSNBC is any worse than CNN. We're so used to assuming MSNBC is more partisan and looney than CNN -- but is it? Has that been true in five years?

Parler is everything Twitter isn’t. It’s free. Literally. Free to you, and free for your thoughts.
There are no thought-police on Parler. Sign up today.

Some heavy hitters I know just signed up today. I might, but to be honest, I don't really want to be involved in any Twitter-like time suck, whether free or unfree. But I think conservatives will now depart en massse for Parler, leaving just liberals on Twitter -- and by "just liberals," I include the National Review types who are themselves liberal, who only wish to be associated with liberals, and who only talk with liberals. They'll have their long-desired Heaven where there are no Deplorables to argue back against neoliberal corporatism, and the only people permitted all agree on almost every fundamental point of politics. Except for some playfighting over how much the law should favor the multinational corporations paying all of them off.

All the usual Twitter C**ks are tweeting their fury at Josh Hawley for daring to suggest that their church, that is, the Twitter platform, should be exposed to lawsuit if they do not act as a platform, not a publisher; Dave Reaboi responds to them:

@davereaboi

PRO-TIP: Use Evernote to keep URLs of all your anti-Hawley tweets; you’ll need to find them when asking for money from Big Tech in the future.

Say, National Review takes money from Google, right? Why do they never feel obligated to disclose they're on the Tech Monopolies' pad when they fulminate against the Tech Monopolies' opponents?

Proud Goucher College Alumnus Jonah Goldberg Back to Writing About His True Passion, "His Shows"

@JonahDispatch
So I finally finished Westworld. Rarely has there been a show more adept at holding my attention but not my interest. Such a weird viewing experience.

you know there's no rule that says you have to watch so much tv, and then chitter about it on Twitter like a big fat red-faced bearded housewife

Ever recorded?
Are you quite sure about that?
Hint: You know the only book you've ever read, Harry Potter? Think about the historical exemplars the evil wizards were based on.
Another hint: Indiana Jones' second most hated foe, after snakes.
PS: That was like 100 years ago, dude.

In 4 hours and 22 minutes, Tesla hopes to become the first non-government entity to achieve manned spaceflight.
I'll definitely put a post up about this later. It's a big deal when a private corporation now has its own astronaut corps.
Correction: The astronauts themselves are not privately employed. They're NASA astronauts.

At 31:00 in this Derek Hunter podcast, Ann Coulter blasts FoxNews and Jonah Goldberg, with a knock Goucher College
She says that she doesn't watch FoxNews because she knows exactly what they're going to say on it by just watching a few people's twitter feeds a couple of days in advance. I imagine she means Trump's twitter feed -- to attack his latest outrate -- and Jake Tapper's twitter feed, to get the liberal CNN line which gets a very light rewrite for FoxNews and is repackaged as "consensus conservative opinion"

Babylon Bee: Stacey Abrams Says She Will Step Down from the Governorship If Asked to be Biden's VP
If she does step down from the governorship, the chain of succession is as follows: The new governor will be the current governor, Brian Kemp, who is the actual governor, and will succeed himself as governor, being that he is in fact the governor, and not the Let's Just Pretend to Make the Retard Happy Governor that Stacey Abrams is

Noted Expert on Gynecomastia and Noted Wallflower With a Funky Smell "Down There" Made Some Expert Predictions in Early April, Let's See How This Brain Trust Did With Their Prognostications

"I have power, people should fear me:" Twitch appoints obviously mentally ill transexual, who further claims to be a deer, to its trust and safety council (read: censorship board); transexual deerkin (who is a white man) immediately begins saying many Twitch users are "white supremacists" and then begins giggling about the "power" Twitch has given him/it, stating that people are afraid of him/it, and should be afriad of him/it, because he/it intends to get vengeance
Just another day on social media
Twitch says that their censors represent a "diverse" range of opinions, and that this mentally ill deer tranny does not represent its own opinons -- but if that's true, why is there no normal conservative person on their censorship council? Sure seems like there are some points of view Twitch finds unaccepable.
Oh I forgot, the tranny deerkin wants to outlaw voice chat in competitive play, because he doesn't like the fact that his obviously male (though altered by hormones) voices gives away that he's not a girl, and that's not fair... strange, he has no recommendations to get rid of all sound, as that's not fair to the deaf, nor to get rid of the visual part of games entirely, because that's unfair to the blind. No, it's all about making things "safe" for this tranny deerkin when xhe's playing Fortnight. And that's all that matters, right?
Is there a type of concern more frivolous than Luxury Concerns?

Obese NeverTrump liberal Neil Cavuto now... mask-shaming Trump
Meanwhile, the reporter that's on camera questioning Trump about his mask is wearing her mask below the nose, making it ineffective and hence just for show
Hey Cavuto maybe read up on the New Science of Carbs
I literally never see reporters wearing masks at their stand-ups -- they only wear them for show during White House briefings, and only for the exact seconds the cameras are on them. But the Karen Korps just can't stop with the mask-shaming
