My God AOC is insufferable. I’m utterly flabbergasted that she is actually a public figure. She hits new lows daily.
Don’t worry, she couldn’t be more help to PDT if she was a false-flag plant. According to many real news sources I’ve seen, she is alienating Middle America and normal Americans so badly they may be loathe to vote for Democrats at all. She is becoming (or already is) the face of the party due to her outsize Twitter loudspeaker, even though she only speaks for the most radical and left wing, which is actually a tiny minority in this country.

I had the unfortunate experience of having to watch (or at least sit in front of) the game everyone is talking about. My sister and her husband own a popular local sports bar and I was there for a family event and as everyone else was watching the game I decided to politely hold my tongue and sit it out.
I was struck by the slow play and lack of power in the women’s passing and scoring attempts. They seemed lost on the field, which is ably covered by men’s teams, but which seemed huge covered by the women’s team. There are none of the short, sharp breaks of speed you see in the men’s game.
Having seen a lot of entertaining men’s high-school soccer games. I would bet good money a top men’s high-school team could defeat the US Women’s soccer team 9 games out of 10 (if not more). The play in men’s high-school leagues is faster, more physical and aggressive than the women’s game by several orders of magnitude.
I would say it’s analogous to women’s basketball, which is celebrated by fans of the genre as being closer to its roots, with more fundamentals and passing and plays as opposed to ball-hogging and shot-taking by the NBA. It’s also boring as hell and a slog to sit through. The only reason I can imagine anyone watching either is they are a family member or a ‘girl power’ feminist (lesbians, for example, make up a good proportion of WNBA fans) because the play is also inferior to a state champion boy’s high-school team of 16-18 year olds.
Since female sports seems to be a hobby horse of the left and feminists I, for one, am glad to see it being destroyed by trans-sexuals who pretend to be women so they can succeed in sports they failed at as men. At least it will be less boring to have D-list male athletes playing and will take the wind out of the sails of assholes like Ripetoe, who will lose her small claim to celebrity and the attention to her left-wing antics.
“I think reporters like yourself, who are super smart and super careful, will always ask me what I think about the male colleagues. Are you asking the male colleagues what they think about us? Probably not.” (more…)
Sorry, I belong to one of the minorities “insulted” in this video and I don’t see anything wrong with any of the caricatures. Every group should be fair game for satire. (more…)
This is the leftist media still laying about conservatives while excusing fellow leftists for the exact thing Republicans are not doing, but which democrats are. The only people I hear refusing to accept election results are all Stinky Abrams supporters and hlllary is still touring the country claiming she was robbed of the election by Comey and the Russians. (more…)
Hell, leftists loved the part in the film “The Help” where the black maid shits in a pie and feeds it to her employers because she wouldn’t let her use the good bathroom (as help most everywhere of every race has to endure without exposing their employer to disease and disgust). (more…)
I’m continually struck by how the Mueller disappointment mirrors the election of ’16- the media had its favored narrative and championed it relentlessly: “HIllary will win going away, Trump has no chance” and pushed that story day after day for 2 years without much pushback: anyone who attempted it, as the guy from 538.com did, got roundly attacked for disrupting the unbroken united front the left-wing press presented to the world and laid out for their audiences. Hence the YUGE disappointment and disillusionment of the left when out the blue Trump won. How could this be? For 2 years we’ve heard nothing but how it was impossible. There must be a fix. (more…)
After the Beatles/Wings, when I was a kid Queen was my fav band. Those were the days you had to defend them “Isn’t their singer a homo or something?” plus their somewhat twee offerings like Millionaire’s Waltz or My Melancholy Blues or Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy or In Only Seven Days or Lazing on a Sunday Afternoon or Lap of the Gods 2 (all these invariably by Freddie, but it gave the band depth and class) by playing Now I’m Here or Tie Your Mother or White Man or Stone Cold Crazy or in latter days Hammer to Fall or Hitman for your friends to prove Queen really could rock in a very unique and cool way with as much musicianship as other prog-rock bands. They kind of lost me during Hot Spaces and were never really as good again, but I followed the band right up to Innuendo. (more…)
The song “Bohemian Rhapsody” is a classic of the genre. It’s long—as such songs tend to be—to make room for all the changes. It’s actually three songs in one: a mournful and tormented ballad by a killer, a kind of nonsense operetta-style middle, a more typical rock third part, and then a return to the first section for the finale. I assume you’re familiar with it, but if you’re not (or just to refresh your memory), here it is:
Off the top of my head I can only think of three more songs in that category, although I’m pretty certain there are more, perhaps even many more. Here’s my next one, “Layla.” It has only two parts, and I have to say that I only like the first part. The second part seems insipid to me, but the first is great. Your mileage may differ:
I’m done playing along with their sexual fetishes and being part of their little sexual fantasies. I don’t care if Bruce Jenner wants to put on makeup and make a clown of himself in high heels and a skirt. (more…)
“Call Me By Your Name”, although the kid was an American in Europe, struck me the same way. I was especially thrown by the final scene where the dad (who obviously had the hots for the boy’s love interest) just seems to think it’s the greatest thing in the world that could have happened, a guy in his 30s-40s having a sexual affair with a teenager. The dad says the kid should treasure the experience and it will have a positive effect on the rest of his life, getting cornholed by an older man, I guess, is the be all and end all of coming of age.

Wow. This guy. He goes on and on with purple prose and in a long-winded rodomantade purporting to explain what is good about rock and what is bad. He seems pretty much like those Trogg-Ramone-Iggy Pop purists who avers that the only pure rock since the Delta Blues guys limped their way through a disjointed 3 chord blues ditty no drummer could possibly follow, let alone lead. He seems to recognize the genius of XTC but is ignorant of the bombastic genius of ELP. I’ll grant him his attacks on Kansas (who aspired to prog-rock but though just stringing together disparate passages equaled the virtuosity of the real prog-rock masters like Yes and ELP). But he fundamentally misunderstands the way the true rock fan felt about Van Halen. (more…)
Impolite, unprofessional, petty and insubordinate. Fucking asshole. What a load of crap. No one elected Mattis nor any of the “adults in the room” president- in fact, the get along go along crowd were roundly rejected by PDT’s election. Mattis has besmirched his legacy with petty sniping at PDT.
This letter belies everything he claims to stand for: the chain of command, respect for the office, grace or manners in leaving a job to which PDT fought hard to have him invested (don’t forget, all the lefties who are bemoaning Mattis leaving, 150 dems voted AGAINST the waiver to let him serve in the first place.

If Melania Trump wore this garbage bag with hooker boots the press would bury her: of course, since she has taste, Melania Trump would never wear this abomination.
Can we all quit pretending Michelle Obama is anything but a crass, graceless bitch who “goes low” when it suits her and hypocritically attacks conservatives when she and her race-baiting husband routinely trash-talk their political opponents, even when they attempt to befriend them or do them a kindness.

I stopped to use one of the building’s single-occupancy restrooms. Upon washing my hands prior to leaving, I hear knocking on the door. When it comes to these restrooms, it is customary to knock first in case someone is using it, even though there is an inner lock. When I opened the door, Mr. Booker was there. He smiled and very gregariously said, “Hey!” We engaged in some brief idle chitchat in the entryway and then he asked me to speak in private. What happened next, happened so fast that it was hard for me to comprehend what was going on. It was one of those surreal moments where what was happening was such a deviation and such a perversion of one’s natural daily routine that I hardly knew how to react.
He pulled me into the bathroom, albeit not too forcefully, and slowly pushed me against the restroom wall. He said that “Being a hero was a serious turn-on.” He continued, “The Senate appreciates fine citizens like you. Especially this senator.” He then put his left hand on my groin, over my jeans, and began to rub. I seem to remember saying something like “What is happening?” It was a bit like having vertigo. He then used his other hand to grab my left hand with his right and pulled it over to touch him. At the same time, he disengaged from rubbing me and used his left hand to push me to my knees from my shoulder for what was clearly a move to have me perform oral sex on him.
At that point, I pulled away quite violently and told him I had to go. I did not see him again before he left.
And as we all know, gay rape is the rapiest rape there is.
I’m a little sick of people saying “both Kavanaugh and Ford are victims of the Senate” – “no matter what you believe, Ford deserves respect” – “Ford was brave to come before the Senate” etc. (more…)
Its a power play by unattractive women, jealous women and leftist women to upset the status quo and take out some high-profile people, hoping that in the shakeup they’ll end up with some spoils, either through guilt or blackmail.
Its funny that it’s mostly taking down left wing “feminist” men who think the right thoughts on abortion and hillary and who hate PDT to a man. (more…)
This author misrepresents what the “controversy” is. I find kapernick’s assertion the country is racist and there is systemic racism in America based on the crimes of a tiny handful of cops is itself racist. Condeming what is probably the most progressive and fair country in the world over a few rogue cops is wrong and bigoted. The fact that he chooses the flag to aim his racist hatred act at is the final straw.
A lot of people (including the minister at Aretha Franklin’s funeral) believe the problems of blacks in America can more fairly be laid at their own door: broken families, poor culture of supporting education, glorification of crime, drugs and hatred of cops intrinsic to the pop music and culture of many inner city blacks, poor work ethic, victim and grievance culture that blames their problems on ‘the white man’ (see Obama’s Rev Wright).

What a load of crap. The people there speaking with their mouths full of shit are some of the worst offenders in the olympics of smearing and lying about their opponents.
GWB has a lot of gall to speak of comity when he smeared McCain in 2000. Obama repeatedly called McCain a racist in 2012. McCain himself could be partisan, dishonest and a smear merchant when it suited him.
Far from a revenge, it was an impotent show of personal pique by a bunch of people who know that history and power has passed them by.
Embittered lesbian Nosheen Iqbal (whom I’m sure made up that name in the interest of the other fraud cause “diversity”) is even more embittered that Louis CK and Aziz Azari haven’t voluntarily retired from public life and persist in plying their life-long trades, despite having been condemned by the feminist powers-that-be.
Xhe seems particularly pissed off that they were both well-received and there were no boos or catcalls or pitchforks and torches for these heretics. (more…)
This week docweasel.com interviews the head of egstudios, g richard.
Well, even though it was in my home it was a commercial studio, I charged bands by the hour and radio spots by the spot as well as industrial vid voiceover etc. so it probably would be technically ineligible. What IS totally cool is that other than a DAT (digital audio tape) recorder I was forced to add when CDs completely superseded cassette tapes, the preferred medium for indy band releases in the mid ’80s-early ’90s everything is analog on the recording end, and even some of the effects (the korg echoplex, a couple spring reverbs to go with the digital one) were analog. (more…)
China Hustle (2017) meh. I could give 2 shits about the stock market or selling short etc etc. It’s all about how Chinese companies fake profits and set up shell companies, sell stock then fold ripping off the public. I fail to see how this is different from what American companies do every day, legally. High finance is corrupt and criminal no matter what way you look at it. Seems like those who get rich there end up broken on their own wheel. And the guys exposing the corruption admittedly are getting rich from it. Not compelling or even interesting. Score:1
It may change in the distant future, but right now all this handwringing about 3D guns is stupid.
For the price of a reel of the plastic you need to make one of these one use, short distance and poor accuracy (there is no rifling in the barrel, for one thing) expensive and unreliable ‘guns’ you could buy dozens of real, accurate, multi-use guns that wouldn’t potentially blow up in your face.

I was able to watch this in the comfort of my office the week it came out. I keep thinking someday the bubble is going to burst, but it keeps on trucking along.
Anyway, this review is mostly discussing the movie so if you haven’t seen it you might not get my references and there’s a ton of spoilers. Just sayin’
First off, let me say that RPO is good fun, great spectacle and some of the best use of CGI in a modern movie. There’s plenty of action and cool CGI models, scenarios, backgrounds etc. The main characters aren’t particularly inventive and one of the lamest reveals in the movie (maybe it copies the book faithfully, I don’t know, it doesn’t really matter) is that every main character is basically the same as their avatar. Wow, a kid playing a diminutive ninja is 11 years old. That’s supposed to be a surprise? A huge shock is supposed to be that a slightly effeminate big black mechadroid is a big black not particularly feminine woman. The 2 main characters differ from their avatars mainly by their hair color and eye size.
That’s always been Spielberg’s problem. The entire movie is so by the numbers you’ll swear you’ve seen this movie before. It hits all the buttons, evil big corporation trying to take control of society, attack on main character kills his family/friends instead of intended target (ala Terminator 2), the protagonist is a gritty, hard-scrabble life but somehow affords all the expensive tech necessary to spend most of his time playing an admittedly complex, but nonetheless, a glorified video game. The female is a fighting dynamo whose family was killed by the evil corporation. I kept experiencing deja vu as the plot progressed. (more…)
Today, after a week of pain and worry over an enormous carbunkle swelling on my shoulder it burst and yielded a lot of blood and pus but the pressure was off immediately and the pain completely gone, pain so bad I kept dreaming weird things about the boil as if it were alive. (more…)
The original incarnation of Lara Croft had a beautiful, athletic, intelligent Lara Croft (with a great rack) destroying a state-of-the-art killer robot with lightning reflexes and cold hard steely determination. In contrast, the new Lara Croft starts off getting her ass kicked by a skinny dyke in a friendly MMA match. She follows this up by running away from 3 puny chinese guys because one of them had a knife. She proceeds to screw up in almost every respect that Angelina Jolie’s Lara would never have allowed.

Crowdpac was started in Menlo Park by Steve Hilton, Gisel Kordestani, and Adam Bonica in 2013 as an experiment to help bring more Americans into the political process. They started a company in which a diverse and ideologically open group of students, engineers, designers, and political veterans worked to bring more people into the political process as voters, donors, or candidates.
Haven’t posted in a while about the state of the site, but I’ve been working on it. Replicating the blog, from 2002 (and before!) to 2017 was a chore. In 2002 the blog was just an shtml site with weekly (or so) updates. (more…)
The name is redundant, but dwf forum = the Doc Weasel Forum (Forum).
Six color schemes with a H. R. Giger theme.
If you want to comment on any of the posts on dwb join dwf forum. We don’t have time to police the comments here for spam and trolls. The way the internet works, you get blamed for the comments, so you either have to censor them or you have to live with their stink on you. Instead, if you want to have your say, join the forum and post whatever stench you like.

recently the shitheel cocksuckers at godaddy (the worst hosting company in the universe) alerted us that our file count was getting too high. Not our storage, which is infinite, and which would lull you into thinking that means you can have all the stuff you want on your server, no, not at all, you’re limited to 250k “named” files. Now that seems like a lot, but we host 5 sites, 2 of which are sites with enormous archives including images, sound files and vids. The problem turned out to be wordpress, which was generating 5 images for every one we uploaded via the stupid thumbnail generation. (more…)
Taryn Toomey, 39, the founder of the Class by Taryn Toomey,perhaps the most pretentious, useless and self-centered class ever is a mind-body workout that “invites students to witness their resistance to discomfort,” (Jesus Fuck) has somewhat of a cult following (very few followers, but they are obsessive to the point of neuroses). Students from across the metropolitan area are heading to her year-old TriBeCa studio to sweat, cry and scream, as she urges them to “dig deeper.” Like Great Britain, they have nothing to give but their sweat, tears and screams. On Sundays, Ms. Toomey cherishes quality time with her husband, Mark Toomey, 48, who works in finance (although he doesn’t figure into the day much, really, other than to finance this leisure-class bint’s flim-flam “classes”), and their two daughters, Scarlett, 8, referred to as Lettie, and Finley, 6, continuing the practice of giving kids unlikely and non-traditional names to stick it in the eye of their parents, who find their contrived names juvenile and pointless. The family lives in TriBeCa because of course. (more…)
Beautiful white people are no longer considered beautiful by definition. No white person can now be beautiful because they are not members of various victim classes who have been under-represented in the standards of beauty circus. Vanity Fair has recently made a statement by rejecting “elite” Hollywood, represented by people like Anne Hathaway and Natalie Portman or even older stars like Annette Bening and Nicole Kidman in favor of people like this… person.

This weekened I watched Only the Brave, the true story of 19 hotshot wild fire fighters who lost their lives trying to save houses and lives threatened by wildfires. (more…)
Back before you could basically stay on the internet during all waking hours I was forced to spend time watching TV with my sig-other. And when you watch TV with your gf you watch what she wants to watch and you shut up about the stupidity of it if you want peace and harmony. One such show was Abby McBeal, whom my gf adored and emulated. I saw about 4 seasons before she lost interest and I was free.
Recently a person I watch shows (in the background now, while we work and do other things online) pulled up a season of Ally. Must be a later one because Billy is dead. One thing that jumped out at me is the terribleness of Vonda Sheppard. (more…)
Ok, what have I been watching this week whilt coding my merry way around the ‘net? Lucky Dozen fairly new movies, some still in the theaters, but thank god for Pirate Bay I can enjoy Jumanji without dealing with hordes of teens giggling or cheering and it doesn’t cost me $20 a pop. Do I feel guilt? No.
I hate watching videos. Hate hate hate hate hate. I’d rather read a transcript anyday, I can read a lot faster than the vids and I get immpatient with sitting there waiting for them to get to the point. I watched the whole thing this time, and it was well worth it. My god, this guy owns this smug, entitled, complacent left-wing bint who thinks she holds the moral high-ground. For the coup de grace, start at about 21:40 and give it a minute. He kicks her ass intellectually the entire time, but she’s on the canvas bleeding at 23:00. Great great guy, must find out more about him. (more…)
If all Couric had to say was that she didn’t know, why wait 5 weeks to say it? It just feels as if she spent those weeks calculating, coming up with the response that would play best and then rolling it out to a friendly media outlet not known for hard-hitting follow-up questions.
