Kneecap - H.O.O.D

"Focain caite amach arís
Barraíocht piontaí le barraíocht snaois
Equals a cocktail bread for unleashing the beast
Oíche mhór amach fuinne, at least
Troid eile, he's beating some fella
Tá an R.U.C. anseo anois and it's for saoirse na Cilla
Fucked into the back of the Jeep
He falls asleep
He does it every week
Tiocfaidh ár lá, get the Brits out lad!
A one way ticket please, I've lost my bus pass
Isteach san offie, he's looking some tins, man
Ag cailleadh focan foighde anois man
"Keep her lit ta fuck or fuckin' fuck off, " Jesus said on the cross
Two tins of Boost, 20 fegs, and the fuck it's still lost
Who's next? Me, miss, son, would you like a bag?
For your shopping not your nose, I see your ankle tag"

Don't know if you've seen this but I know you'll dig this the most, especially in reference to Achane. defector.com/why-your-tea...
"But if you have to watch the Fins play football this autumn—perhaps you lost a bet of some sort—there are a few noteworthy places to look. You know those 89 passes that Willis attempted while he was in Green Bay? That’s probably the same number of passes he’ll venture all of this season, with freshly extended RB De'Von Achane forced to run the ball until his knees look like a Tua CT scan."

As much as I love this country, I think there are too many people in it that prove Lyndon B. Johnson right. MAGA GOP has internalized this.
If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.

The visual shorthand works here, but you really have to read the book to fully enjoy this:
After his disfigurement, Mason becomes a recluse, rarely leaving Muskrat Farm, his country estate. He nevertheless indulges in whatever paraphilias his disability allows, such as getting sexual gratification from making children cry. Verger's only sources of human contact are his assistant, Cordell—a fellow sex offender—and Margot, who works for Mason as a bodyguard. Margot despises her brother, but stays in his employ to persuade him to donate his sperm to her partner, Judy Ingram, so they can conceive a child.

Lindsey Graham (©2001 Associated Press)
Gary Oldman as Mason Verger in 2001's Hannibal. His character *also* had a complicated, controlling, psychosexual relationship with his sister, when not avenging his decision to voluntarily eat his own face while high on amyl nitrate.  So many parallels etc.

Weird people claim South Dakota is one the "hardest working" states in the US because of how many residents have more than one job. www.argusleader.com/story/news/2...
A combination of factors helped South Dakota climb near the top of the list. More than 6% of South Dakota's workers have multiple jobs, the 11th-highest percentage in the country. The state also has the fifth-lowest share of idle youth, or 18- to 24-year-olds who are not in school, are not working and have no school experience beyond a high school diploma.

MAGA cesspool (and my home state) South Dakota celebrates a $69 million budget surplus. Guess where almost half that surplus came from: www.keloland.com/news/local-n...
“South Dakota’s robust economy is driving steady revenue growth, moving our budget in an even stronger direction,” Gov. Larry Rhoden said in a news release. “We keep our taxes very low and ensure we have the highest return on each dollar invested. We’re setting an example for the nation of good stewardship of taxpayer dollars by doing things the right way, the South Dakota way.”

Sales tax revenue growth accounted for $17 million of the surplus. Fiscal year 2026 sales tax grew 6.6% compared to the 2025 fiscal year of 4.7%.

*****The largest area of unspent funds came from the Department of Social Services, totaling $32 million.****
