Not Yet Friday Funnies

It’s like this, I was up most of the night coughing. Yeah, big fun. All I’m in the mood for this morning is good news – stories where bad actors are stomped.

One of these welcome tales is of Permit Karen in Montclair, New Jersey. (emphasis by me)

Susan, aka "Permit Karen,” came onto our property three times within thirty minutes to demand to know if we had the proper permit to install a stone patio in our backyard, on the other side of the fence of her yard. When asked if a permit was required by law, she said she didn’t know, but insisted we answer her questions and submit to her demands, or she would call the police to force us to stop improving our home. (A permit is not required in Montclair for a stone patio this size. This fact was known to us through our own independent research, our contractor and later verified when building and safety arrived at our home to investigate her complaint.) When challenged about her flawed legal conclusions, assumption of right, her lack of agency over our home and our eventual demand that she leave our property immediately, Susan decided to call the police and make a false report of assault. (source) 

So Twatzilla decides that a black couple (they’re lawyers – Karen’s fucked) should answer to her and get her permission to put in a nice stone patio IN THEIR OWN BACKYARD. When he wouldn’t submit to her bizarre demands, she called the cops and LIED, saying that the husband "pushed her" off their property.

How’d this play out? The rest of the neighbors all came out in support of the black couple. Later there was a small-ish protest march AND Twatzilla got scolded by at least one neighbor for not wearing a mask.

No one was brutalized or died as a result of this idiot woman’s entitled-ass hissy fit.

“I tie this to times right after slavery and Jim Crow and apartheid in South Africa,” Fareed (one of the harassed and threatened homeowners) said. “This concept of ‘Where are your papers?' Prove your legitimacy to me. ... So her coming and demanding our papers, demanding our permits, is just a complete iteration. It’s a badge of the institution of slavery.” (source) 

Thank the little baby Bast for cell phone video/cameras and awesome, stand up neighbors! Also, if Karen's got any friends, one of em ought to clue her in that it's 2020 now, not 1920. Ya know, word to the decidedly UNwise and shit.

An aside: I saw a meme suggesting that the epithet Karen should be replaced with Ivanka. Works for me!

Another funny – apparently Vanilla Ice (does anyone remember this no talent, clown-ass idiot) is going to do a concert in Texas on the fourth of July. Why? I suppose his 23 fans won’t have trouble with social distancing unless the show’s held, more appropriately, in a gas station shit house.

Also, TBogg and friends skewer the astoundingly dimwitted, pearl clutching, over the top drama mama-ing trumper, Scott Adams. You might know him from the badly drawn but, on rare occasion, amusing comic strip Dilbert. Yep, the boy’s a delusional bin-brain who should probably be checked daily to make sure he’s not flushed himself down the toilet (thus damaging a perfectly nice piece of porcelain).

As long as I’m stuck inside, I may as well have some derisive laughs at the stupid fucks who put 45 and his band of obscenely callous and corrupt Republi/Fascists in office. Ya know?
