Wednesday Overnight Open Thread (10/20/23)

Quote I

“At the end of the day, we’d like to be able to put our children through college, be able to afford the things that these people can afford on the other side.” Keith Chada, a committeeman for the UAW

Quote II

“I made a mistake, one I sincerely regret and take responsibility for. During my suspension, I will continue to participate in counseling to help me make better decisions in the future." NHL Player Evander Kane

Quote III

First, right upfront, I screwed up the internal communication — and I don’t mean just mechanically. I feel I should’ve made sure to recognize that a group of our employees was hurting very badly from the decision made, and I should’ve recognized upfront before going into a rationalization of anything the pain they were going through. I say that because I respect them deeply, and I love the contribution they have at Netflix. They were hurting, and I should’ve recognized that first. Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos

Quote IV

“If this thing is just about protecting people and protecting the public health, why does CNN have to lie about Joe Rogan taking ‘horse dewormer,’ or why does the Rolling Stone have to willfully misrepresent my position on the vaccine or COVID? NBA forward Jonathan Isaac

BREAKING: Trump Announces New Social Media Site ‘TRUTH Social’ To Launch Early 2022

So is Kamala "The San Francisco Headhunter" Harris rubbing here hands in glee? Uncle Paste Eater Joe Biden certainly appears to be failing rapidly.

Democrat President Joe Biden stated on Wednesday that he was Vice President of the United States “for 36 years,” and that he took the Amtrak home “every day” to see his family after they were killed in a drunk driving accident in 1972.

Biden made the remarks during a trip to Scranton, Pennsylvania to pitch his failing economic agenda to the general public. Scranton is where Biden was born, and has been a recurring locale for the former Democrat Vice president to return to for media photo ops. Unfortunately, it does not appear that Biden’s words will reverse his flagging approval ratings.

He says the decision is a huge deal for his business and also "very f***ing annoying."

There needs to be more Gabe Eltaebs.

A comic book colorist says he is fed up with the left turn at DC Comics and he is quitting over the latest left-wing change to the Superman character.

"What really pissed me off was saying truth, justice, and a better world. F*** that it was Truth, Justice, and the American way," said Eltaeb.

He was referring to the announcement from the publisher of Superman comics that they would be dropping "the American way" from the character's motto for the much far less nationalistic, "a better world."

Just another over educated faculty lounge occupier. Her real world knowledge is nil to say the least.

Nazis and Stasi all rolled into one creature. Colleges are now paying students to be Kung Flu vaccination snitches.

“Student Health Ambassadors” are prowling their school grounds, on the lookout for those filthy, science-embracing guttersnipes who dare to wander campus without a mask or walk closer to friends than social-distancing Nazis prefer (even though scientists have determined that social distancing was, in part, based on outdated science).

The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) seems especially Stalin-like in their crackdown. Their Student Health Ambassadors KGB kids have a “whistleblower hotline” for students to squeal on their non-compliant friends as well as university staff. They will ask for “papers please” to see if students have filled out their daily clearance forms, which are required for students and faculty before walking onto campus
