I Can Feel The Art Improving Me
Yes, it’s time for an open thread. Feel free to share links and bicker.
As an enriching cultural bonus, here are some Estonian art gallery scenes, in which a full-figured feminist protests against the “violence” of the art on offer – while naked, obviously – during a visit by schoolchildren. The artist being denounced is Marko Mäetamm, whose offerings to the world are numerous and can be savoured here. The feminist lady taking umbrage, Mare Tralla, also makes bad art.

Perfect. 😀
“Must we do this every bloody time?”
The kid looks like the most grown-up person there.

Well, the juvenile behaviour is, I think, coming mostly from the adults. There’s the dismal juvenile shite of the exhibition itself, which at least one adult teacher deemed enriching for schoolchildren, a decision that itself seems rather adolescent, and then there’s the dismal juvenile shite of the protest about someone else’s dismal juvenile shite.
There’s a lot going on, and none of it terribly edifying.
Regarding the transgender-paedophile-scrotum-waxing saga, mentioned here, this seems apposite.
Isn’t that technically enough to get her on the sex offenders register?

When you’re sending schoolchildren to see a room full of disarticulated sex doll replicas and bad drawings of naked women pissing on the floor, I’m not sure that an impromptu striptease by a saggy-titted crone is the scandal that was hoped for.
Bridge crossed and all that.

I was not teased.
In regards to the #waxmyballs saga, the strong of stomach may want to read the Kiwi Farms thread located here:
https://kiwifarms.net/threads/jonathan-yaniv-jessica-yaniv-trustednerd-trustednerd-com-jy-knows-it-jy-british-columbia.49790/
Kiwi Farms is a rough place, be warned, but they’re often the only place to find summaries of all the sort of horrors that exist out there. The admin of that site has also set up a single dedicated site as a summary here:

Given how much this guy has been protected by the upper levels of social media and government, I fear it only gets worse from here.

No refunds. Credit note only.
My theory is that both “artists” are colluding in this performance. Nothing is being protested. It is all a show.

Band name.

OTOH, it appears we have some budding amateur gynecologists enjoying their moment with the teaching dummies, so the trip was not a complete waste.
We must not show images of the prophet. Sorry – wrong religion, but getting nekkid to protest
a child’s drawingsan artist’s images of unclad wymxn seems a tad counterintuitive, but then I am not woke.*(Machine translation – my one year of Russian is good for about every fifth word…)
Disarticulated Sex Dolls – band name, though officially known as DSD. Full name of “Disarticulated Sex Dolls” is communicated through rumor and gossip by those “in the know”. The band itself however, denies this saying that DSD was just three random letters that sounded cool at the time but no member can recall exactly when this was decided. Each has his own version of the story told in a distracted and world-weary manner indicating that it really doesn’t matter to them how they got their name. For ten years, Rolling Stone magazine pushes the band’s story on the name origins then, without acknowledging they ever believed otherwise, begins slipping in references to the name “Disarticulated Sex Dolls”, as if they knew this was the real name all along.
Replicas – Their first album
Because it is unwise to offend feminists, regardless of zer genders or identities…
My theory is that both “artists” are colluding in this performance. Nothing is being protested. It is all a show.
I don’t know much about art, but I’ll take a wild guess that the gynecological dummies, the titty cartoons with eyes where nipples should be, and the inflatable penises with “Capitalism” written on them aren’t intended to be titillating but to subvert the male gaze and invoke reflection about the disruption of eternal feminine wisdom by hegemonic masculinity. I must have seen this exhibition before, or something like it.
So yes, whether the collusion is explicit or not, the “this is what a real woman looks like” antics are entirely compatible with the artist’s theme. Also implicit in the collusion are the teachers who thought the exhibition would be instructive for their students.
whose offerings to the world are numerous
Among the sins condemned in the linked “art installation” is righteousness–which is ironic given how self-righteous the “artist” is.
I’m sure our gracious host had written about this intellectually-overachieving co-ed who played stupid games (such as trying to block a busy interstate highway to protest a presidential election) and won stupid prizes (like a crushed pelvis, a fractured leg, and other injuries), and then sued the driver what hit her, the city and county, her university, and the university system’s governing board, asserting that the defendants were contributorily negligent for failing to warn students of the danger of walking onto a busy freeway.
As one could have predicted at the time of filing (and should be relieved now), our valiant Protester-upon-Freeway has had her lawsuit dismissed.

I’m sure our gracious host had written about this intellectually-overachieving co-ed who played stupid games
Oh yes. So I did. Who knew that swarming en masse onto a busy eight-lane motorway, in the dark, in an attempt to harass and alarm random motorists, could result in serious injury?
As a shorthand for woke psychology – its pathological entitlement and displacement of responsibility – it’s quite apt.
Since the barman declared this an “open thread,” let me be the first to wish your new PM a hip-hip-hoorah, and the best of luck (’cause he’s gonna need it).

Can’t speak for you but there’s not much sexual about that to me.

I have a question. With the news of the new PM going around, Twitter is triggered to beat the band, as is social media in general. It’s madness. Because Hitler Trump Johnson.
When exactly did projecting everything emotional and prejudicial and nothing factual become the accepted status quo for roughly half the civilized world?
How do you get to that point? The winning remark so far is you know, we just need to stop promoting members of the establishment to high office. This comes after a half century bout of globalism that was expressly well on its way to converting everyone on earth into either establishment or subject.
But Hitler Trump Johnson. Not Marx Obama et al, but Hitler Trump Johnson. When did draining the swamp, leaving the EU, and reinvigorating the average man become establishmentarian, exactly? And in what perverse, alternate history?
Oh, great. Now I’m going to have to go to PornHub to cleanse my brain.
That’s my excuse, and I stand by it.

Bloody hell.
I remember an incident in Religious Education class, when our teacher piped up, “And there are evil forces at work in the world, trying to bring about the debasement of Man and Hell on Earth. You can’t see them; I’m not talking about obvious threats like the Warsaw Pact. But they’re there. I’ve seen them.”. This wasn’t a religious school, and the bloke wasn’t a clergyman; his “day job” was in the English department. Come the end of the lesson, we all walked out quietly with the exchange of some Meaningful Looks. We thought he’d gone off his rocker, quite honestly.
But with the way the tech industry has worked in lockstep over the likes of – certainly not only – this, I’m beginning to think he had a point.

If I find myself getting aroused by this thread, I’m fetching a noose and a bucket.
This was when I knew Boris was destined for greatness:
Boris is a squishy conservative. In Canada, he’d be called a Red Tory. I doubt he has the will to see Brexit through.
This was when I knew Boris was destined for greatness
Yes, but greatness in what field exactly?
I’m sorry, but I think he’s a complete and utter arse.

RE the picture David shared (worth 1000 vomits, thanks): It’s an overused exercise, but I would beg every woman in that room to view the picture and imagine every single gendered thing and person switched.
Everything: Penises idols on display. Men – old and young – breezily chumming about with amused grins (with one young man holding a camera!) while a middle-aged man strips naked in front of school-age girls, who look uneasy and not mature enough to handle the sight. All of which is funded by taxpayers.
JUST. FUCKING. IMAGINE.
It’s all kicking off in Sheffield Hallam…

Cripes! I was eating breakfast when I came upon the scene of that old sheila built like an overweight white whale. it fair turned my stomach. All that blubber was not a pretty sight! Thank God she didn’t jump around; she would have wiped out the poor suffering audience.
Funniest Twitter today: “We’ve moved on from “Bake my cake!” to “Wax my balls!””
“Now, I’ve never waxed a scrotum before, so let me know if it’s too hot and we can keep trying till I get it right.”
Thank God for toxic masculinity …
getting nekkid to protest
a child’s drawingsan artist’s images of unclad wymxn seems a tad counterintuitive…As a measure of civilisation, it doesn’t bode well. Though it’s interesting how, whether it’s Pärnu or Boston or Glasgow or Sydney, the pathology being acted out and applauded is much the same. Indeed, eerily uniform.
Mum! Gran’s got her tits out again!
I can’t help wondering how much the diversity would enliven these performances.
…the pathology being acted out and applauded…
Speaking of which, We must ban the problematic plates. Why ?
Be sure to scroll through the whole thing to see Macy’s grovel and how the woke Liz Climo thinks they can be made right.

Apparently, neuroticism and grandiose entitlement are the highest forms of piety.
They are plates that encourage anorexia
So there are only two alternatives: obesity and anorexia.

Checking the news reports, that rollover happened on Interstate 88 in Oakbrook, a western suburb of Chicago. If it had happened on the west or south sides of Chicago itself there might well have been fewer Good Samaritans and more looters.

It’s strange how quickly we’ve gone from, “Sorry, it’s just a personal hang-up, please don’t fuss” to, “I am neurotic and you must do whatever it takes to accommodate my list of tedious dysfunctions.”
I’m not sure it’s progress, frankly.
“I am neurotic and you must do whatever it takes to accommodate my list of tedious dysfunctions.”
Marginally relevant observation: Whenever I see a woman wearing a t-shirt announcing in large letters that she is beautiful or sexy that woman is grossly obese.
Thank God for toxic masculinity …
Reminds me of a similar thing that happened back in college when I was meandering home in a half-buzzed state one Saturday night, red-neckish pickup with camper top takes a left turn too fast and tips over on its right side about 50 feet in front of me. I’m standing there with the WTFDIJS look on my face but fortunately for this guy many of my fellow students ran out onto the street, righted the guy’s truck and he continued on his way before any cops showed up. Often wonder what ever became of that guy.
“I am neurotic and you must do whatever it takes to accommodate…”
Unearned power is a helluva drug. Most idiocy and spite, in history as today, seem to originate from people simply wanting something for nothing, but without the strength of a brute or the honesty of a thief.
