Speaking of transgender dramas.
I’m currently reading Abigail Shrier’s book. It is thoughtful, informative and also makes clear the difference between actual trans people and those who engage in it as performative art. The latter being Woke Activists who run the “T” of LGBT as a cult.
Shrier even uses the quote in the link about the “posthumous transing of famous gender-defiant women” actually erasing the achievements of women. “T”s like Lavery actually make a very narrow, highly stereotyped category for “women” … any deviation from that box then makes one “trans” or “queer” but definitely not a woman.
It isn’t hard to see how many women find this kind of transgender role-play rather insulting.
It’s why I’ve found things like the Drag Queen Story Hour particularly insulting. Jessica Rabbit looks like a Precious Moments figurine next to these hostile clowns.
Pranking the noobie is usually a form of bonding.
It seems like it’s reserved for blue collar environments. I’ve never seen it in any of the offices I’ve worked in. I suspect it’s because being chronically understaffed, any of those workplaces would have fired someone who wasted that much employee time in that manner (it’s also possible that employees in tech environments are more sensitive to this sort of thing and thus it’s not part of the workplace culture).
nobody from the Midwest is going to recognize it as a “real” tractor
Dig into the article. The Stunning and Brave women run a ten-acre locally-sourced, organic, free-range ethical blah blah blah hobby farm. I feel this photo sums up the nature of their business. Their experience with farm equipment is not representative.
Hugh Sheridan musical Hedwig and the Angry Inch cancelled after outrage from transgender activists
There’s probably a down side I’m not seeing.

Heh. Bad Daniel.
Daniel – “This photo”
Megan Rapinoe’s latest makeover?
re Hedwig, etc.: I wonder if those tolerant folks who complained in regard to Hedwig and the Angry Inch have seen Rainman and other films about people, like me, who are autistic? Did they complain about ‘appropriation’ or role-playing by non-autistic people? I guess I could have complained about Rainman if I felt slighted – I didn’t – I have better things to do with my life.
Rap? Scoring last pool match. This beauty comes up on the jukebox…but great, now back to rap. Western civilization is a disgrace, no matter what direction it’s coming from.

Now the nicest woman in the league, someone I once got embarrassed talking to a few years ago when a particularly vulgar tune came on, is now dancing to “Close Your Eyes (And Count To F**k”)” by …I dunno…something about jewels and roaches.
Now it’s a wonderful country tune called “I Sucked Another Dick Last Night” by some guy named Wheeler something. Google the lyrics. I wasn’t real clear on some of them.
This beauty comes up on the jukebox…but great, now back to rap. Western civilization is a disgrace, no matter what direction it’s coming from.
From the olden days we have euphemism laden tunes like this one from Bo Carter, or even more mainstream singers as this lament from Dinah Washington.
OTOH, Blind Boy Fuller makes an old joke.
The problem is not so much that it is new, but more prevalent, and Lucille Bogan notwithstanding (NSFW, children, or small dogs), much more crass.
“two (IIRC) foot lever looking devices underneath the console that perhaps (?) looked like they might be manual overrides for controlling the ailerons(?)”
Rudder pedals – for controlling the rudder; and on more traditional aircraft, they also apply the brakes.
Western civilization is a disgrace, no matter what direction it’s coming from.
I’ve always enjoyed this video demonstrating as it does that there really isn’t much difference between country and gangsta rap.
Or for that matter, this one.
