I've spent way too much of my free time since Nov. 2016 (well, Jan. 2016) paying attention to politics and the dumpster fire presidency. I've love for the dems to take 45 setas on Tuesday so I could relax some and start watching football again, reading more, whatever.

Unfortunately, I suspect I will become an expert on the ins and outs of congressional investigations.

Newly released video shows a 5-foot-1 New York woman choking a much taller nightclub bouncer unconscious after she mistakenly thought he had slapped her rear end while she was dancing with a friend.

The Plattsburgh Police Department posted the video Thursday showing 22-year-old Kierah Lagrav attacking the bouncer from behind at Five1Eight Nightclub on Oct. 20.

In the video, Lagrav is seen at the bar dancing with her friend when the woman hits Lagrav's butt.

Not realizing it was her friend who touched her, Lagrav spins around and makes a beeline for the bouncer who happened to be walking by the two women.

Lagrav immediately wraps her arms around the bouncer's neck. Lagrav's friend tries to stop her, but it's too late and Lagrav and the bouncer fall on the dance floor.

Video from the choking thing:

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/w...-a8614136.html

Cliffs:
- girl that actually works at the bar is dancing by the bar by herself with her friend there
- bouncer walks by while friend slaps her ass
- girl (immediately) chases down bouncer thinking it was him and starts choking him
- he does nothing because he thinks it's a joke
- he falls down briefly unconscious and she just walks away

Chance there isn't history/backstory is about 0.01%

Republican vs. Democrat Sexual Fantasies

Quote:

According to the largest and most comprehensive survey of sexual fantasies ever conducted in the United States, it would appear that there are also political differences in our private sexual fantasies.

I surveyed 4,175 adult Americans from all 50 states about what turns them on and published the findings in a book entitled Tell Me What You Want. As part of this survey, participants were given a list of hundreds of different people, places and things that might be a turn-on. For each one, they reported on how frequently they fantasized about it.

I learned a lot about the nature of sexual desire in modern America, but one of the more intriguing things I uncovered was the political divide in our fantasy worlds.

While self-identified Republicans and self-identified Democrats reported fantasizing with the same average frequency—several times per week—I found that Republicans were more likely than Democrats to fantasize about a range of activities that involve sex outside of marriage. Think things like infidelity, orgies and partner swapping, from 1970s-style “key parties” to modern-day forms of swinging. Republicans also reported more fantasies with voyeuristic themes, including visiting strip clubs and practicing something known as “cuckolding,” which involves watching one’s partner have sex with someone else.

That video is so weird. Having trained Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for a couple years it makes no sense to me. It's nearly impossible to choke out someone from behind who is much taller than you without jumping up on their back. In the video it's hard to tell but it doesn't really seem like she has a legit choke on him. On top of that, he should have been able to pretty easily stop the choke even if he didn't really know what he was doing. He literally did nothing to try and stop it.

So darn weird.

edit: now I see that he said he did nothing because he thought it was a joke. Still super weird. Like you know when you're being choked unconscious and it's pretty unpleasant and you would want to stop it. I guess maybe he has friends who pretend choke him for awhile? lol

And is it realistic? A total of 20,000 women would mean that Chamberlain lost his virginity at age fifteen (despite childhood friends opining that Chamberlain never had girlfriends in high school) and then averaged 1.2 new sexual partners a night until 1991 when his book came out. Every time he got sick, or got too tired on the road, or (heaven forbid) slept with the same woman two nights running, he would have to arrange 2.4 new women the following night to keep up his punishing pace! All without a single story ever getting out about an STD or a paternity suit. (One possible "Little Wilt," a man named Aaron Levi, did turn up in San Francisco in 2015.)

World. Shattered.

Thank goodness for Quillette:

Sometimes, the supposed Nazis who are targets of these spurious verbal attacks, if they are eccentric malcontents or pathological attention-seekers, will even invite such comparisons by festooning their social media with Nazi symbols, pledges or dimly understood non sequiturs culled from Nazi sources.

These individuals are offensive, ignorant and often psychologically disturbed. Sometimes they are genuinely dangerous or even engage in acts of murder. But to imagine that they are “Nazis” is almost invariably wrong—even if they use that term themselves as a means to lend ghoulish historical grandeur to their vile acts.

Sometimes the "supposed" Nazis embrace a bunch of Nazi iconography or make Nazi pledges. Also sometimes they will murder people.

But do not say they are Nazis because World War II is over and that generation died so you cannot be a Nazi.

Incredible they put this content out for free.

Pretty good Elon Musk interview. You really get the sense that he attached drastically less importance than most people to some things (Twitter securities fraud) and drastically more so to others (building electric cars).

Things I'd rather do than watch this:

Listen to Kanye West and Kyrie Irving debate flat earth for 8 hours
Drive from LA to San Diego at 3pm Friday during Comic Con - playing Baby Shark on loop the whole way
Read every Masque de Z post
Have a beer with Ted Cruz
