It’s Not You, It’s Me

I’ve rigged it to blow.
Hmmm. Rigged it to blow whom?

Is he what? Well, I have seen him post comments elsewhere…

Anyway, David, enjoy your break from the madness. We’ll try not to blow up the HTML in your absence…

Heh. Yeah, that.

It’s Not You, It’s Me
Is he seeing other commenters on a different blog?
Well, he is a writer—I’m generally reminded of some comment about being a freelance writer and something of politics, but that’s a very general memory—and right now we’re less than a day away from a very interesting UK General Election . . . .
My read is that big money called, or at least a nice fat target is noted . . . .

Ht: Obo the Clown.

He’s off to Evergreen College to pick up 10 years’ worth of new material.

First World problems of the SJW set.

Apparently Colin was going through @emrata’s feed, and because Instagram lists which of your friends has liked a photo, he saw my boyfriend Chris’ handle.
My immediate reaction wasn’t so much anger as it was confusion and dismay. Why did he like this photo? Is he so un-evolved that he can’t resist the allure of a butt pic? Obviously he liked the photo because he liked what he saw; I understand that, but I still don’t get it.

You will be surprised to learn that the aggrieved authoress is a graduate of the Mizzou J-School, however, she then asked her tovariches what they though of this horrendous transgression, and got replies such as:

I don’t know why your boyfriend liked @emrata’s post. Maybe he’s hoping that @emrata will receive his message, which, in this case, probably translated to “this is chill.”

I am not sure what that means in English, but I hope she recovers from her trauma of leaning about normal cis-male behavior.

“Is he so un-evolved that he can’t resist the allure of a butt pic?”
Un-evolved? It took us millions of years of evolution to get to the point where we could develop the technology for staring at women’s bottoms without getting slapped. This is what we’ve been aiming at all that time. Didn’t she know?
“You may not care about us, but Lena Dunham does.”
Heh. “Temper fascism” by voting for the guy who’s best mates with the IRA and al-Muhajiroun.

Un-evolved? It took us millions of years of evolution . . .
Let’s not forget the tens of thousands of years in took for The Patriarchy to train women to take pictures of their bums and publish them gratis for our amusement. All completely voluntary.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to go somewhere to twirl my moustache and laugh maniacally.

Maybe David’s busy making a new mojo? What’s the warranty on those things, anyway?

“Noted feminist youtuber Laci Green starts dating an Alt-Right Shitlord™ in real life. Hilarity ensues.”
The learning process in action there, right before your very eyes. I don’t think she’s stupid; give her ten years and she’ll be writing articles for PJM about her dumb youthful flirtations with Leftism.
Or she’ll be Caitlin Moran. But somehow I doubt it.
“What’s the warranty on those things, anyway?”
Dunno. I never had one.

This.

That’s some expensive mojo, especially with no warranty. Make your own.

This too.

Let’s celebrate diversity!!!

“Last night, Britain was reeling from the news that a surfer had suffered the first ever shark attack in UK waters.”
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/06/07/first-shark-attack-surfer-uk-waters-leaves-man-small-cut-thumb/

“Last night, Britain was reeling from the news that a surfer had suffered the first ever shark attack in UK waters.”

Mr Thomson said he had been left with several cuts and a “sizeable bruise about three inches across…She said she had not heard of a shark of any sort biting a surfer in British waters.

Perhaps that is because people generally don’t report minor cuts and bruises, or didn’t realize that they had been bitten by a member of the, “…wide diversity of sharks with a number of coastal species such as smooth hound, tope and cat sharks often reported by beach goers and water users…”, which call British waters home. Let’s face it we’re generally not talking about clear Caribbean azure waters around the UK.

Mr Thomson, 30, said he would refuse to allow the incident to deter him from venturing into the sea in the future.
F@~& You I’m Millwall!

Antifa vs Andrew Bolt.

Yes! I was going to post the same thing. Those brave lads.
Also, via Tim Blair:
Melbourne Antifa, a loose collection of left-wing activists united behind “anti-fascist action”, appeared to claim a role in the incident, posting on Facebook that “some of our family in solidarity were attacked by Andrew Bolt while they were protesting …”
The group argued Bolt should be imprisoned for his “violent, horrendous language”.

As our host has said, ‘because lying and resenting is what angels do.’

The most surreal thing was the Fat Cameraman guy (now identified as one Nathan Coote) hung around unmasked for at least 30 minutes, seemingly unaware that despite his absurd claim that he’s “not involved, is as involved as the hooded losers who attempted (pathetically) to assault Bolt.

As our host has said, ‘because lying and resenting is what angels do.’

It’s not really lying if you change the meanings of the words. Especially words like “lying”.

I also love that those two hooded losers got their ass handed to them by a baby boomer in a suit.
Not to mention ran like roaches when the second guy came out, which goes to demonstrate what I have been saying all along, this lot is a bunch of cheesedicks who will only “fight” those who won’t, or can’t fight back.

Meanwhile, in the halls of academia, we lean that diversity of opinion is “white supremacist bullshit”.
At the same conference that spawned that gem, we also learn from, “…Professor James Scheurich, who also teaches at Indiana University’s Purdue campus, claimed that “research” is a “colonial, white supremacist, elite process,”.
Well. Groupthink and no research, both of those rather explain a lot why anything can get published in a SJW “journal”.

When will Wonder Woman be a CIS man with bulging biceps and a penchant for math? Bigots.

In ten years she’ll be engaging in a Mad Max style roadwar against her former leftist ‘friends’.

The end game is simply set asides based on “identity,” independent of merit or actual achievement.
They’re not even trying to hide it.

There’s a lot of it about. #KnowYourPlacePeasants

“In ten years she’ll be engaging in a Mad Max style roadwar against her former leftist ‘friends’.”
On reflection, I prefer your version. Hey, I’d pay to watch that.

“a Mad Max style roadwar against her former leftist ‘friends’ ”
That reminds me, I’ve been meaning to see if I can track down a certain woman I sort-of dated back in the late 70s. She was a professional blackjack gambler, and a member of the Revolutionary Communist Party (RCP).
She would have made a GREAT Road Warrior.

Also, David, really? You “rigged” the liquor cabinet again?
[ toddles off in that general direction…quiet fiddling noises…a flash of light like unto a thousand suns ]
…
uh.
help?
a little help here?

The Batman.
—Wonder Woman didn’t turn up ’till about two years later . . .

Conservatives don’t bother projecting for an endgame, we stay in the moment and keep on doing, without end.

So how did your elections go? Over here on the other side of the big puddle, we have our choice between two parties: you can vote for the Stupid Evil Party or for the Evil Stupid Party. Citizen participation in politics consists mostly of trying to figure out which is which. Which is why, every two years and especially every leap year, we see lots of bumper stickers that say: Vote Cthulhu–Why Go For The LESSER Evil?

Our host is away for two days and the country’s in chaos.

It’s hard to understand how anyone can have voted for Corbyn
The same way so many people supported Sanders here in the U.S. (or the Democrats generally); he promises freebies to be paid for by other people. Most voters don’t take their franchises seriously, don’t bother to study the issues, don’t consider the consequences of various policies, etc. It’s all about “feelz” and short-term thinking (if “thinking” is the right word).

Just when I thought I didn’t understand UK politics…well, I still don’t but I couldn’t figure out why May chose to risk a bird in the hand for a few extra feathers in the bush. But I figured since I don’t understand much of it, she surely knew what she was doing. That aside…Can someone over yonder give a summary of the possibilities? I’m not sure what news sources to trust and don’t have much spelunking time. Are there any Brexit possibilities in the other parties? Can Labor MP’s who loathe Corbyn support May or is that a bridge too far? Is there much Brexit support in Labor? Since LibDems last formed with Tories, which I thought was odd but WDIK, is that a remote possibility today?

Meanwhile, white marble sculpture contributes to white supremacy.

A University of Iowa professor recently argued that appreciation of “white marble” used in classical artwork contributes to “white supremacist ideas today.”
Professor Sarah Bond demonstrates in an article published in Hyperallergic that “many of the statues, reliefs, and sarcophagi created in the ancient Western world were in fact painted,” meaning the “white marble” often seen in such pieces of art were intended to be colored.

Yes, because many of the ancient Greek and Roman sculptures of Greeks and Romans which were indeed painted, were painted as proud Nubians instead of as Greeks and Romans ?

Oops.

many of the ancient Greek and Roman sculptures of Greeks and Romans which were indeed painted,
The paint makes the marble look *more* white. #RacismEverywhere

Still rayciss, of course, because only ofays burn, they tell me.

I Black

When I born, I black
When I grow up, I black
When I go in sun, I black
When I scared, I black
When I sick, I black
And when I die, I still black
And you white fellow
When you born, you pink
When you grow up, you white
When you go in sun, you red
When you cold, you blue
When you scared, you yellow
When you sick, you green
And when you die, you grey
And you calling me coloured?

only ofays burn, they tell me.
I don’t know about sunburns, but blacks are quite capable of tanning. I had a fellow officer showed me the noticeable difference in color in his arm when he pulled his uniform sleeve up a little bit.

When will Wonder Woman be a fat, femme Woman of Color?
Cultural appropriation.

No Friday Ephemera? Feeling sad?
Then imagine how This dog feels.(via Ian Miles Cheong). Hate speech is bad, but not always.(via Godfrey Elfwick). Disappointed by the British Election Result? Help is at hand.(via Stuart Ritchie)

From the disturbed minds of the SJWs, this is confusing as hell.

Kylie Jenner has been accused of cultural appropriation after she launched a new line of swimwear featuring a camouflage print in the style of Destiny’s Child.

a) Bikini=French invention named after Polynesian atoll that only became famous after the US nuked it.
b) Said camouflage bikini is in the pattern known as “woodland camouflage” designed by the US to be a pattern for all services.
c) Destiny’s Child is a defunct black female singing group who occasionally wore costumes in woodland camouflage.
I am trying to figure out here who actually got appropriated, but it seems like the US military should be the most offended because if it hadn’t been for the nukes there wouldn’t have been bikinis, and they were responsible for the woodland camo.

Kylie Jenner has been accused of cultural appropriation after she launched a new line of swimwear featuring a camouflage print in the style of Destiny’s Child.
Actually, starting over the last three or four of months or so I’ve been seeing multiple instances of unmistakably nonmilitary wandering about in camouflage jackets, or pants or shirts or . . . .
I think a reasonable deduction is that Jenner didn’t even reach as far as a defunct black female singing group who occasionally wore costumes in woodland camouflage, she—or designers working under her name—simply copied something current . . .

Protesting what?
Lessee, what are the possibilities?
– Police forbidden to hunt deer while on duty.
– Having to wear dayglo-yellow vests
– Having to ask questions in French first
– Budget does not allow for Armani
I vote for #4

Farnsworth, I’m sure they’re miffed because they have to contribute anything, as opposed to the public simply being taxed more to offset the shortfall.
