As the previous open thread is heaving at the seams, time, I think, for another.
To kick things off, some lively scenes; some decisive leadership; when the day’s not going as well as it might; and some viewing figures I’m sharing for no reason whatsoever.
Oh, and via Mr Muldoon, and not entirely unrelated, a literary feat is announced.
You know the drill.
some lively scenes;
What happened to the wig?
What did I just watch? X 5

It’s the thrill of modernity.
What happened to the wig?
Having been an obvious, uh, cat in a hat while doing the deed, removed as a quick change of appearance. Probably stuffed in the bag with the brick.
No correlation, I am sure.

The best bit was that she was at Massey University — clearly a place where fat activism is a core subject.
Dig the author chick’s eye make-up. WTF?
when the day’s not going as well as it might
Another win for Australia!
Another win for Australia!
So it is. What are the odds?
I’m somewhat relieved that our chundering chap managed to stop, or at least alter course, before getting even closer to the people at the nearby table, and whose evening has doubtless been enhanced.

Her makeup? Am I the only one noticing that the collar of her dress is a pair of hands….presumably choking her? Black hands? Isn’t this raaaaaaaycissss?
Also, Will Smith/Chris Rock… I say staged/fake. If not, WS needs to be prosecuted for assault and battery.

I take some comfort in the fact that I have to Google who the hell these creatures are.

Showed it to my wife. She asked me who that was. I read the name off the tweet pretending such that it sounded like I knew who that was. We’re now both pretending we knew the name. Lately we’ve been practicing making non-verbal gestures with sarcastic/ironic flair. Maybe one day there will be a market for such talents. You never know.

Also her tattoos. She seems to think that engraving “sanctus” on one shoulder and “spiritus” on the other somehow tells us that she is a Deeply Spiritual Being and not, as we might suppose, badly damaged.

And yet the word bint is frowned upon, as if there were no-one in the world to whom it could refer.
Today’s word is after-party.
There is something fundamentally tedious about rap music.
Also, Will Smith/Chris Rock…
Hollywood has always been about setting good examples.
I’m going to defend Chris Rock here and posit that he thought Will’s wife had chosen a shaved head rather than having a baldness problem. Some black women do that. I think Will was overly conscious of his wife’s baldness and ready to flip out over it. After all, it made him look bad. charge him with assault? haha in Chicago the state’s attorney Kim Fox declined to prosecute two black gangs engaged in a shootout because it was mutual. As if that would be ok with dead bystanders. Other authorities stepped in to prosecute, thank god.
“bint”: the brits do excel in insults, I must say. One of many for which this yank cannot quite give a definition but which I am sure is not good. By the way, in the UK do websites leave biscuits on your computer instead of cookies?

A foolish, air-headed woman. Often with connotations of trashiness. An expression of disdain.

I tend to the staged/faked thing because if Smith actually punched Rock in the face with any sort of real anger, Rock would have been on his ass.
2) Security never approached Smith after he returned to his seat … and that would include whatever LAPD or Sheriff officers were there on or off duty. Witnessing an assault, even misdemeanor assault obligates a report.
3) Rock is declining filing a report and LAPD is all “ok, it’s all good” and that is NOT the way it works (or supposed to work) in SoCal. Yes, a DA can decline to file charges after review, but that discretion doesn’t belong to the law enforcement agency.
So, a) fake/scripted moment b) black privilege c) celeb privilege
:::snort:::
And d) considering what WS lets other men use their mouths on that belong to his wife that are more personal than her name…
a literary feat is announced
She’ll never top this.

It’s a lot to process.
Heh.
Also heh.
Via Damian.

It is British colonial misogynistic cultural appropriation, “bint” is Arabic for daughter.
Also, Will Smith/Chris Rock… I say staged/fake.
As someone else said, I doubt that this would have happened if instead of Chris Rock, it was Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson who made the joke.
I admit it, I laughed.
Bint
I’ve always preferred slapper as an epithet.
Perhaps if someone was to introduce the word to Chris Rock….

Interesting. “Musume” was at one time used by soldiers in the Far East to denote a prostitute, and it is actually a Japanese word meaning “daughter”. Could there be a pattern here? That procurers describe their girls-for-hire as daughters, and customers either misunderstand what the word means or appropriate it for their own purposes?

That’s not a mask, it’s a misplaced g-string.
Vigilante justice is at least justice. Though the people who do need to be hit in the head with large metal objects are the ones with the big soft hearts who preach kindness, kindness, kindness rather than doing the responsible thing and getting the crazies, and especially the drugs, off the streets and into institutions where they belong. But, bah. That’s crazy talk.

Given what’s been going on in Ottawa of late, I’m no longer willing to give governments the power to define what “crazy” is.
Is he related to General Buck Naked?
No correlation, I am sure.
I’m pretty sure that Dr. Pausé featured prominently in Steven Crowder’s video which Muldoon linked on Friday.
Is it really possible that woke activists can die of embarrassment? Because I’m thinking this might just give us a fighting chance!
