How’s the weather across the pond? Much of the U.S., including my 1/3 acre thereof, is snowed in. Fortunately I had nothing pressing and can wait to go out tomorrow after the snowplow rumbles by.
Send some of that snow Australia way. Another bloody heatwave is coming down through Melbourne, it looks like.
And finally, a caption competition.
When are they going to realise that it is not stuck on, but poked through?
More intersectional problems.
Growing your body hair out in January is an act of feminist empowerment, according to this drama student (now there is a surprise).
Not so fast, If white women do it, it is an act of colonialism, as this chap can attest.
Honestly, these SJW idiots are so busy tying themselves in knots trying to outdo each other, they don’t know whether to crap or go blind.
Woke.
That guy in the pink sarong reminds me of Corporal Klinger on MASH.
Woke.
“She” seems nice.
“She” seems nice.
Zinnia’s unhappy mind has been noted before.
To be fair, Zinnia did use a smiley face at the end of her hate filled tweet.
Wokissimus.
. . . . I‘m drawing a blank on the picture. Who is that?
Who is that?
Trofim Lysenko.
Yes, quite. It’s telling just how often wokeness relies on woo.
Maybe it should be called woo-kness?
Chester Draws,
It was originally a non-contact sport.
I remember when NBA basketball officially became a contact sport, and it involved two white guys: in the 1984 Finals when Boston’s Kevin McHale clotheslined LA’s Kurt Rambis, and received not an ejection, or even an intentional foul, but an ordinary shooting foul, and was hailed as a hero in Boston.
Farnsworth,
Growing your body hair out in January is an act of feminist empowerment…
As yet, I remain unconvinced that “Januhairy” is not a 4Chan hoax.
My favourite is when woke actresses grow out bits of their body hair, to show we don’t have to be slaves to patriarchy or something. Then they turn up with exquisitely done hair and make-up, ridiculous heels and very expensive dresses to tell us how they aren’t bound by expectations of “pretty” because they grow their armpit hair.
Meanwhile large portions of the population have hair done for under $100, wear almost no make-up, don’t wear heels on most days and dress in nice but cheap clothes. But because they shave their armpits, they’re slaves to the corporate system.
they’re slaves to the corporate system.
In recognition of your wokeness, by the authority vested in me by the State of California, I hereby grant you one (1) exemption from the Chair Of Correction.
Now, for the entertainment value, I’m going to troll the CA online resources to find the appropriate Agency or Commission for me to grant my exemptions from.
I’m betting it’s take me less than ten minutes to find a good one.
Remember, this is a state where approval and/or registration from AT LEAST 12 agencies is required to open a hair-cutting shop.
Wow, so many possibilities:
California Complaint Mediation Program
Corrections Standards Authority
Education Audit Appeals Panel
High-Speed Rail Authority
History and Culture Agency
Horse Racing Board
InFoPeople
Inspection Services
Institute for Education Reform
Office of Administrative Hearings
Spill Prevention and Response (cuz you drunks can be a problem.)
Office of the Patient Advocate (hey, I can be patient if necessary.)
Opinion Unit
Prevention Services
Standards and Assessment Division
State Allocation Board
Learn California
I’m leaning toward “California Opinion Unit”, but I’d bet that my expenses would be easier to hide at the High-Speed Rail Authority.
What say you?
“We live in a stupid world where a bunch of men decided that women are more fuckable when their bodies more closely resemble naked mole rats…”
Ahahahaha yeah but nah. Men may occasionally express preferences about women’s bodies but that’s *nothing* compared to what women will think about their own bodies, and say about one another. Just compare the typical lads’ mag (which rarely ventures beyond comments along the lines of ‘great gazungas’) to the constant stream of self-beautification and self-care tips you will find in a women’s magazine. The ‘patriarchy’ didn’t decide shaved legs were nice. Women did.

TBF, human pediculosis has always been a motivating factor for persons of either sex to shave various bits.
Weather report.

And if men prefer shaved women, what of it? There has to be some preference.
Most men shave every day. It’s not like we ask women to shave any more than we shave ourselves.
Punditry of note.
I think the California Opinion Unit is where Damian works. Why else would @DamCou be his handle?
