— ’ ⁠⁠⁠⁣⁠⁠⁠So this one is rich. A pack of leftist activism-addicted Teen Vogue staffers — led by a loud, aggressive trans writer named Alma Avalle — stormed into a Condé Nast HR meeting and tried to stage one of their classic “you must obey us” struggle sessions over layoffs.⁠⁠⁠⁣⁠⁠⁠Guess what happened next? .Turns out when you corner an HR executive and try to publicly bully him over basic corporate decisions, you don’t get a gold star — you get a box for your desk.⁠⁠⁠⁣⁠⁠⁠The viral clip shows exactly what we’ve all come to expect from the modern media Left:• entitlement• activism disguised as journalism• zero professionalism• and the assumption that companies exist to serve their personal ideologyAll the things that destroyed media in the first place.⁠⁠⁠⁣⁠⁠⁠And the ringleader? — the same writer who pushed nonstop ideological litmus tests inside the newsroom and acted shocked when reality finally hit the balance sheet.You want a recession-proof job?Maybe don’t turn Teen Vogue into a Marxist pamphlet and chase away an entire audience.⁠⁠⁠⁣⁠⁠⁠This is what happens when corporate America finally decides it’s done being held hostage.You can only scream “solidarity” and “collective liberation” for so long before the company says,, .⁠⁠⁠⁣⁠⁠⁠They demand power they didn’t earn, throw tantrums when they don’t get it, and discover the hard way that HR plays for the company — not the revolution.

And I thought you were more of a man of the world!

Pretty sure the Tank household flew in a French baker to make macarons when a sweet craving came

Nothing says clogged arteries, high cholesterol, and blood sugar, like Little Debbie's.

I saw some Twinkie’s the other day in a gas station. I can’t remember how long it’s been since I’ve had one!

I saw some Twinkie’s the other day in a gas station. I can’t remember how long it’s been since I’ve had one!

A number of years ago I was deer hunting in Utah with my brother in law and for some reason the subject of Twinkie's came up and he mentioned how long it had been since he had any. He used to get them every day in his lunch that he would take to work.

Well, we came off of the mountain to restock our supplies and get a motel room along with a shower. I went into the local grocery store to pick up what we needed and I spied a box of Twinkie's, I think that there were 18 or so of them in it. Naturally I put them into the cart.

I got into the shower first and while he was in cleaning up I went out to the truck and got the box of Twinkie's and was munching on one when he came out of the bathroom. He asked me where I got it and I pointed over to the desk where the whole box of them sat. We ate more of them that night than we had in more than the 20 or 30 years before.

This gave me some joy today:

CHEYENNE, WY — President Donald Trump granted a full and unconditional pardon on Friday to Troy Lake, a 65-year-old Wyoming diesel mechanic who served seven months in federal prison for removing and modifying emissions systems on truck engines.

Lake, owner of Elite Diesel near Cheyenne, was originally sentenced to one year and one day behind bars and fined $52,000 following a six-year federal investigation launched by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). He was released early to home confinement in September 2025.

When Lake learned of his pardon through a voicemail from U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis, he said he broke down in tears.

“I don’t guess men are supposed to do that,” Lake said. “But it’s great — it’s news that reminds you there are still good things in the world.”

Sen. Lummis, who confirmed the pardon, said she was “delighted” but “shocked it was ever needed,” calling Lake’s prosecution excessive.

Lake’s wife, Holly, received the news while driving on Interstate 25 and had to pull over, overwhelmed with emotion.

“These are the first tears I’ve shed since it all started,” she said, recalling the six-year ordeal that began when EPA agents raided their shop in 2018.

Lake’s conviction had left him unable to vote, hold office, or possess firearms, rights now restored with the presidential pardon.

“I thought I’d die a felon,” Lake said. “Now, I finally feel free again.”

Twinkies?!!? You all are clearly Yankee trash. The only gut bomb combination that was worth having was an RC Cola and a Moon Pie.

My father dearly loved an RC and a moon pie!
Odd that this came up as he passed away yesterday morning!

I am very sad to hear that. It truly was a Southern thing.

Same brother in law but a different hunt.

We left camp early one morning and he told me that he had lunch taken care of. After quite a hike and not seeing too much we decided to have lunch. He pulled out of his pack two cans of Pepsi and a tray of Fig Newtons for each of us, that was going to be out lunch. I managed to find some old dry jerky in my pack to add to the feast.

Or peanuts in your cola, or hot boiled peanuts

CoCola and a pack of Nabs

I am sooooooo happy that there are moon pies available right next to the check out aisles at Cabela’s…

That might be the only reason I haven’t completely abandoned them for Scheels

Two top turds at the BBC finally flushed away

They had to go as they and the BBC were caught red handed doctoring the speech Trump made back in 2020(?)

BBC director general Tim Davie and News CEO Deborah Turness resign - live updates

It comes after a leaked memo criticised the editing of a documentary about Donald Trump and accused the BBC of bias in a number of areas.

Let us not forget the diabetes inducing combo for the ages…

RC and peanut patty

 

[Wishfulthinker580]

I wondered if anyone mention the peanut things.

The moonpie has to be the chocolate version!
