It’s The Everything-Is-Fine Klaxon

Great, the one time I skip preview!

Moronette here!

Well, if it’s English they’re talking about, the teacher’s right. English has 3 genders. Spanish has two. I think Japanese also has 3, but maybe not. It’s been a long time since I conversed in Japanese.
Whether you are in England, Spain, Japan, rockin’ out in Mongolia, or in the Fiji Islands for that matter, there are only 2 sexes, though.

[Raises hand]
Hello, I’m Uma Thurmond’s Feet, and I’m a Moron.
“Hello, Moron.”

There seems to be no bottom to how low the Left will go.
Bah. The kid is better of going somewhere else anyway. Consider it a blessing. Harvard is just another clown college anymore.

True, the whole thing is made more ridiculous because they accepted the other Parkland kid Hogg who never met a camera or microphone he didn’t like, but who got rejected by cow colleges to which he applied because of his SATs which were slightly above those of a rock.
Hogg, however, is politically reliable and not subject to ungood wrongthink.

Fact Check: True.

feeld is a rare find that will be felt and studied for a long while. To reimagine a language of one’s age is perhaps poetry’s essential task
It’s somewhat depressing to see once again that what the editors and prize givers mostly recognise nowadays is either a) an unrecognisable post-post-post-modernist collage of verbal matter b) identity politics by other means. Depressing – and infuriating, because I know that what audiences and readers mostly go for is wholly different.

Never mind. Must be a Safari issue. Odd.

“What drew outrage…was that the article was published in Teen Vogue, a magazine targeted toward 13-year-old girls”

Always respect the media, as our host would say.

$33 million doesn’t sound enough.
You have to marvel at Oberlin’s ingrained moral squalor – the ripened fruit of all that leftist posturing. Such that students were encouraged by staff to side with shoplifters – people stealing for fun, as entertainment – and to actively destroy the livelihood of a baker who would rather not be preyed upon by thieves. The expectation of lawfulness, of common civility, being deemed grounds for lies, harassment and ruin. An endeavour that Oberlin’s administrators were happy to enable.
Reducing the place to rubble and then building something useful, like a car park or a golf course, doesn’t seem out of the question.

Hogg, however, is politically reliable and not subject to ungood wrongthink.

And that’s exactly why they accepted him. He’s the perfect unsmiling face of future fascism.

Legal Insurrection has a thread on the whole sorry enraging episode.
And remember, Oberlin is the Clown Quarter writ large. It’s a leftist fiefdom, where leftist psychology and woke psychodramas are normative, institutional. And behold the results.

Your comedy, does not conform to the five year plan, товарищ.

“Too often the writing room is not sensitively run. It can be aggressive and slightly bullying,” Schuster told Diverse Festival* on Monday, according to the BBC, where she featured in a panel discussion titled “why employing more women writers in comedy matters”.

“Sensitive comedy” – The Amazing Kriswell predicts a slump in ITVs ratings.

Right, I’m off to attend a funeral. On the upside, I look pretty good in this suit.
Play nicely. Or ponder life’s existential predicament, whichever.

Triggered by history.
He is literally shaking over a Civil War Reenactment…

Kyle said he had been to the event before with former board member and fellow African American Audrey Nixon and, ‘Some of the things I experienced I cannot talk about here,’ while referencing the sight of Confederate battle flags.

… oh noes, not the sight of a flag – in Illinois, at the site of a POW camp for Confederates.

‘Our ancestors told us what really happened. Did you know that black soldiers were put on the front line in the North and Southern front lines so they would be killed first?’ he asked fellow board members.

So what you are saying is that the black soldiers were shooting each other ? Those who do not study history are doomed to be idiots.

“Nobody is laughing now.”
Heh.

Poe’s law and all that…

Couple of quotes:
“Hopefully you agree that one should not question whether people can identify their own genders. It is just an indisputable fact after all. And hopefully you are also thinking that it is wrong to question how we came to KNOW that people can identify their own genders.”
“For that matter, please do not informally question the source of our knowledge that people can identify their own genders…It is a fact that people can identify their own genders, and it is not to be interrogated, or discussed, and the source of such knowledge is not to be queried, challenged, or in any way shape or form investigated or discussed as an act of pedagogy or as a matter of curiosity amongst philosophical peers.”

Meanwhile, in The Great White North, first we find that there is a surge in racism and white supremacy among (wait for it)… Chinese Canadians.
Next, we have a carefully reasoned debate about etymology.
Wypipo, amirite ?

…Eskimo racial jokes so I can properly oppress them.
Well, I am far from America’s Hat, but here are the only two I know:
1) Outside a church in Nome I saw an Eskimo wearing a wedding dress crying, I asked her what was the trouble was, she said the groom got cold feet.
2) An Eskimo took his snowmobile to a mechanic because it wasn’t running right and leaking oil. The mechanic said, “Looks like you blew a seal”, Eskimo says, “Leave my personal life out of it, can you fix the damn snowmobile ?”

“They eat whale-fat and blubber.”
“If you had to eat whale-fat you’d blubber too.”

The one that ends with “now where’s that eskimo woman you wanted me to fight”
Actually, that one is pretty racist. Never mind.

Farnsworth, you forgot the hobbit, the Ent, and the orc. 😄

P.S. My aunt’s a Thai, and she’s getting darn tired of having to drop what she’s doing, run down the street, and get people admitted to that stupid restaurant!

…so much as a pinewood derby.
I initially read that as pinworm, which is also apt, but, come to think of it, probably even more appropriate.

The youngsters tried to rob a street cleaner before they targeted the pizza moped driver.

London’s enrichment continues apace.

The Netherlands, positive discrimination is not a bridge too far.
Only wypipo can be racist, Take 287746, it’s science.

I blame library closures.

As someone notes on Twitter.

In the pages of that learned journal “Psychology Today”, we learn that not being willing to date “trans” people is likely ruining their health, it is literally genocide, I tell you.

…our relationships play an important role in our overall mental and physical well-being and our relationships are a better predictor of how long we’ll live than smoking or obesity! But, if very few people are willing to date trans people, what does this mean for their health and well-being? If trans and non-binary people lack access to one of the most stable sources of social support, this could explain some of the existing health disparities within trans communities.

You will be surprised to find that this stunning and brave research found that cis-men and lesbians were least interested in stepping out with women-with-johnsons, transmisogynist bigots that they are.
Meanwhile, in the leftist ouroboros, we find that their cultural icon, famed fellow traveler Woody Guthrie is slated to become an unperson.

“These lyrics shake me up like a soda can every time I hear them. As an activist, folk musician, and songwriter (in Lula Wiles), and recent label-mate of Woody Guthrie on Smithsonian Folkways Recordings,” she says, “my social circles tend to worship Guthrie as the father of all musical protest. But as a Native person, I believe ‘This Land Is Your Land’ falls flat.”

Shaken like a soda can.

Guthrie, she says, can almost be forgiven. After all, he was raised in a less woke era and inculcated in an American culture that he may have resented, but which brainwashed him with certain values, anyway, like imperialism and, yes, white supremacy and white nationalism.

If only he were alive for his struggle session and regrooving.

… pretend they never existed.
It will be interesting when they either have to start renaming bits of anatomy (the epiploic foramen of Winslow), surgical procedures (a Shouldice hernia repair), and instruments (Kelly forceps), or explain why they are named after yte men. Students of Color™ could be shaken like a soda can. Of course, all this could be a problem for the Mayo Clinic, but sacrifices must be made for Diversity™.
OTOH, the massive rewrite of textbooks to make gents like the above unpeople will certainly boost sales.

Actually this makes sense. Our physical and mental health absolutely require touch and intimate human relations, including the sexual variety. So it follows that sexual and social outcasts’ already self-evident mental issues would be compounded by subsequent ostracization.
However…ahem…that does not give trans people any more “right” to intercourse than incels of any other variety. Perhaps if their activists would refrain from such loud, obnoxious, and authoritarian activism then further alienation could be avoided.

“They’re made-up ethnicities” – a radio station in Minneapolis found a way to stop telling Swedish jokes. They started using an ethnic group that is no longer around: the Hittites. An example of theirs “So these two Hittites named Sven and Ole walk into a bar…”

Actually this makes sense.
I recall reading about studies of monkeys which showed significant psychological harm for young monkeys that were deprived of intimate physical contact. Presumably the amount of harm is less (but not nonexistent) when experienced by adults.

a lack of shaboinking creates no physical “health disparities”
I’m not talking purely sex, Mr. Muldoon. Lack of human contact is damaging, which is obvious considering we are a social species. My point was that cross-dressers are in a vicious cycle, the genesis of which is their cross-dressing.
If you want a graphic indictment of Marxism in practice…
Yeah, but it wasn’t democratic Marxism, David. Checkmate.

Lack of human contact is damaging, which is obvious considering we are a social species.
In truth we are more akin to pack animals, not true social animals, but can (or at least could till the skills ceased to be taught) function fully as solitary beings. This whole “need” (want and need being wildly different things) for contact (as adults, human kids are woefully designed to fend for themselves) concept is a comparatively recent fabrication of the therapeutic community to explain away their own foibles and neuroses.
… the mini-series Chernobyl is well worth watching…
Only if you grit your teeth at the utter BS. I had to give it up when they got to the notion that someone with radiation poisoning is somehow contagious.

I agree. What worries me is so many of the younger mirrors are crazy.

Only if you grit your teeth at the utter BS.
Whatever liberties may have been taken in terms of dramatising the effects of the radiation, it’s clear throughout, and especially in the final episode, that the monster in this horror story isn’t the uranium or the radioactive graphite. It’s the rotting Soviet state and the dishonesties it was built on. Not something we see every day in modern mainstream dramas.

it is not a necessity, nor is it hardwired into brains.
Every bit of research into the hormone oxytocin disagrees with you.

“Postmodernized Darwinism. In truth we are what we aspire to be.”

OTOH, if I were to wish into one hand and defecate into the other one, I can predict which will fill first with some accuracy.

Bonus points: The instinctively, even unquestioningly binary view expressing itself fairly creatively. For such a predictable fallacy.

@ten, you should unpack your statement.

…and the lies and pathologies on which it must be built, it’s quite effective.

“Lies and pathologies” got me thinking about this: http://archive.is/skwlG
The link is to an archive page of the Irish Independent with the headline, “We want to force private motorists out of their cars”. The money shot, for my money at least, is the opening of the fourth paragraph, “For those who insist on having a car…” Yep, all of us who insist on having cars in a country with a woeful public transportation system which will be magically updated at some mysterious, as yet unspecified, point in the future. That’s some weapons grade lies and pathology right there.
And of course no one will speak out against it because of the Swedish female teenage Jesus, pbuh*.
* have the media started using that phrase yet for dear Greta? I’m sure it’s only a matter of time.

“I aspire to be a self-powered flying mammal with no mechanical assist.”
That trick never works.
