Welcome to the end of year Brendan thread. I am going to post every Brendan I have in my phone (253). They're literally just going to appear in the order I saved them. Unfortunately I've no idea who the vast majority of them were made by so I can't attribute credit. Let's begin.

 The one and only original. I do know who made this because I asked her (@katastrophising) to do it for an article. Lol.
Another classic.
Brainworms, this was for another article.
Moody shot.
This was before he started wearing hats when he was on camera.
You may recognise those pyramids from my header picture. Lol. I guessing this was you @TonePolicing?
Conehead!
This was an early favourite of mine, Brendan at some fucking interminable debate.
Love those small face memes.
This actually an unedited picture of him.
This started life as just a plain picture of a potato I thought looked like Brendan and then someone made it into a proper Brendan.
Brendan's cameo is Frasier.
This is actually just his real avatar at the Spectator.
This is a spicy one!
Another early classic.
Almost sure this was @Meat__Hook, who also did an absolutely cursed animated version.
Teletubby!
An all time fave, the Brendanberg.
Imagine landing on the moon and seeing this.
This one is amazing, the original made with hundreds of copies of itself.
One the early really long images with a handy scale too!
I never noticed the comparison was Betelgeuse lmao
One way to end the Discourse I guess.
Bigger than the Burj Khalifa.
Cursed.
This you again @TonePolicing isn't it? The hat. Lol.
Again this is just his avatar from Spiked with no alterations.
Menacing
The truth about the Titanic revealed at last!
Another personal favorite, Jezza's Bren-marrow.
The Brendan Dome.
Another spicy one!
Brencar.
Intergalactic Brendan!
This one always cracks me up.
I think this might be more disturbing than the original, there's also a horrendous video of the original being enveloped by this including a sound effect.
Brenomorph!
Love the little touch of the Twitter logo.
The Brendong, another personal favourite. Particularly useful on the rare occasion you meet someone defending him.
Dick forehead lmao
Spikedosaurus
Brendan increasing his powers with Brainforce.
Tefal head! I'm surprised this wasn't one of the first Brendans.
Who wouldn't want to take a comedy hammer to that bonce.
Brendan the record breaker.
Brendoshima.
Hot air Brendan. His natural state tbh.
Planetary Brendan.
Brendan starts to wear hats.
This is great.
Brendopher
Love this version of the monkey columnist.
Any know who the hair belongs to here?
The one time Brendan endorses green energy.

It's Friday. Normally I'd be swilling some cheap rotgut in a fancy glass, but the holiday has waged war on my insides.

As you might recall, we're playing the Dune boardgame. Originally published in 1979 by Avalon Hill, recently republished by Gale Force 9.

Originally designed as part of the Project MKUltra to teach nightcrawlers how to have anxiety, it has since become a classic of the genre.

I am playing Padishah-Emperor Shaddam IV of House Corrino as I attempt to fistfight my enemies for control of a very large spice rack. Those enemies are:

- House Harkonen, baddies
- House Atreides, baddies with good PR
- Spacing Guild, Uber w/ LSD and gun
- Fremen, ??? sand

I didn't put the Bene Gesserit on there as an enemy because a) I ran out of characters and b) they're like a combination of Catholic nuns and Народный комиссариат внутренних дел. Keeping their name out of your mouth is safer.

Last session we saw some interesting developments. With the arrival of Shai Hulud (Bless the Maker and His Water. Bless the Coming and going of Him. May His passage cleanse the world. May He keep the world for His people), we were allowed to ally!

Ok, I'll hop on this Elizabeth Warren/Native American testing bandwagon (gently and non-politically).

I've been a @23andMe customer for a while, and have followed their ancestry updates closely.

All is more or less as expected....except for this bit about Native American.


The family is almost completely composed of Spanish peasants (from various regions) who emigrated, along with a massive wave in the late 19th-cent./early 20th-cent., to Cuba back when it was a booming economy (richer than Spain's) and worth emigrating to (Communism killed that).

Also, the native population of Cuba was annihilated early on---was the first place the Spanish colonized after all. Having a native background in Cuba would be like having the same in, say, Massachusetts, particularly if you're (say) mostly Irish. Just really, really unlikely.

(Note: the North African/Arab background is less mysterious. The Iberian peninsula was part of the Muslim world for centuries. It would be odd *not* to have some Arab/Middle Eastern background coming from Spain. Given the family is mostly from Northern Spain, it's small though.)

I have a Spanish passport, have been back to the ancestral villages in Spain, seen the church where my grandmother was baptized, my grandfather told me stories about growing up as the child of Spanish colonists in rural Cuba. The native bit just clashes with all the family lore.

Ivor Cummins has been wrong (or lying) almost entirely throughout this pandemic and got paid handsomly for it.

He has been wrong (or lying) so often that it will be nearly impossible for me to track every grift, lie, deceit, manipulation he has pulled. I will use...


... other sources who have been trying to shine on light on this grifter (as I have tried to do, time and again:


Example #1: "Still not seeing Sweden signal versus Denmark really"... There it was (Images attached).
19 to 80 is an over 300% difference.

Example #2 - "Yes, I'm comparing the Noridcs / No, you cannot compare the Nordics."

I wonder why...

Butt plugs were originally sold as a miracle cure for headaches, acne, and insanity

Thread, article here and h/t: @qikipedia :
https://t.co/Ts84xnmWKJ


For a long time, medicine was pre-occupied with the question "can this be solved by putting something in the butt?"

Take, for example, tobacco smoke enemas, in which 18th Century physicians saw drowning victims and attempted to de-deadify them by blowing tobacco smoke up their rectums with a pipe.


Despite having no medical benefit whatsoever, the practice was popular, and enema kits lined the Thames like lifebelts, ready to be used as one final humiliation for somebody who was crap at swimming.

This practice ended sometime after 1800 when it became apparent that it didn't really work, given how the anus famously isn't really connected to the lungs, but doctors weren't quite finished with having a poke around in the old anus to see what happens just yet.
