I remember my very first desktop computer, back when a JPEG took five minutes to view on the monitor. My friend Jeff was over and we are discussing the most insane things we had each seen online.

Jeff described a picture of a woman, topless, with very large nipples. I yawned, took Jeff to my computer, and pulled up my entry.

There was a man and woman, each naked except for shoes, standing alongside a barn. They were both painfully lean and looked very similar, like siblings. The man was fucking a chicken. The woman stood watching, with a bored expression on her face. Additionally there were three shadows on the barn; the photographer and two observers.

Jeff conceded.

Ahhhh, Fun with Farm Animals\*. Shoulda won an Oscar.

\* A real porn film that made the rounds in the Pacific fleet in the 80s. I remember a scene that matches your description perfectly.

This just in. Dick says dickish things:

[GOP Rep. Jim Jordan says it’s ‘wrong’ for Senate Republicans to work with Democrats on bills endorsed by Biden (msn.com)](https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/gop-rep-jim-jordan-says-it-s-wrong-for-senate-republicans-to-work-with-democrats-on-bills-endorsed-by-biden/ar-AA109WNM?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=2931b94f1e5f458c9a1e1fe5f9b6e016)

So, you wouldn’t have any problem with Senate Democrats not working with a Republican President? No, you would hoop and holler about how mean and petty and bad for America they are. Go fuck yourself.

Jeez. Alex Jones is totally being a dick. He went into the courtroom today saying the judge is a liar. The judge told him to stop chewing gum, and he said he was just feeling a hole in his jaw where a tooth had been pulled, and did she want to look? And she said, “I don’t want to see the inside of your mouth”. One of the Sandy Hook parents was testifying that Jones said that she was an actress, and she said, “Do I look like an actress?” And Jones said, in open court, “I don’t think you’re an actress,” and the judge told him to stop talking to the witness. Jones’s lawyer than told the judge that Jones wanted to talk to her, and she said no.

Here’s where I call bullshit.

> "Right now we’re looking at this as a civil matter,” Officer John Lacy told McClatchy News. “We’re not looking at this as a criminal matter because this was a mistake that they made. They were supposed to get another home and were supposed to rip up that roof but they got the addresses switched.”

They didn’t mistakenly flee and leave the house to the mercy of the elements and all potential damage once they realized the mistake. They didn’t mistakenly choose to not in any way contact the homeowner of the wrong house, say, by leaving a note at the front door with an apology and contact info to try to make it right. I’d say that those all point to criminal negligence. This is like saying that a hit and run isn’t a criminal matter because the driver didn’t strike someone on purpose.

IMO this is not the way to prioritize farming.

Some years back the largest wildfire in Arizona was caused by a woman who got lost and lit a signal fire. This bozo’s got her beat by a country mile.

One of the cardinal rules of legal proceedings is “always hire a lawyer smarter than you are”. Apparently Alex Jones couldn’t manage that despite it being especially easy for him.

The fact they took him on as a client shows they are _not_ smarter than him.  
In fact, you get a paradox where the lawyer is dumber than the client who is dumber than the lawyer.

Yes, I’m sure they cry themselves to sleep over their stupidity and ineptitude with the tens of millions in legal fees that they almost assuredly have already extracted from Jones over the years.
