Let Us Show Our Gratitude, They Cried Out In Unison
Yes, it’s time to remind patrons that this rickety barge, on whose seating your arses rest, is kept afloat by the kindness of strangers. If you’d like to help it remain buoyant a while longer, and remain ad-free, there are shiny buttons below the fold with which to monetise any love. Debit and credit cards are accepted. If one-click haste is called for, there’s a QR code in the sidebar, at which you point your phone, and my PayPal.Me page can be found here. As requested, I’ve added SubscribeStar and Ko-Fi accounts, via which love may also be monetised, whether as one-off donations or monthly subscriptions.
Additionally, any Amazon UK shopping done via this link, or for Amazon US via this link, or via the buttons in the sidebar, results in a small fee for your host at no extra cost to you. Feel free to buy things wildly and in bulk. Office supplies, toilet paper, a new washing machine. It’s all good.
For newcomers wishing to know more about what’s been going on here for the last sixteen years, in over 3,000 posts and close to 200,000 comments, the reheated series is a pretty good place to start – in particular, the end-of-year summaries, which convey the fullest flavour of what it is we do. A sort of blog concentrate. If you like what you find there… well, there’s lots more of that. Do take a moment to poke through the discussion threads too. The posts are intended as starting points, not full stops, and the comments are where much of the good stuff is waiting to be found. And do please join in.
As always, thanks for the support, the comments, and the company.
Oh yes. The buttons.
Hillary said it with her “It takes a village” slogan.
She said it without irony and without any understanding of what it takes to make a healthy, functioning village.
Note that karen presents her argument in the context of the baby’s “freedom”.
Any bets on both her marital and parental status? Another loony leftie who drank the KoolAid and watched life pass her by. Now she lashes out with all the abusive craziness that some unborn child escaped.
But note how politely she does so. Craziness is much more tolerable (if no less crazy) when expressed with manners and decorum.
The Guardian, of course.
It is, I think, part of a series of quite cleverly staged confrontations.
Again, thanks to all who’ve chipped in so far, or subscribed, or done shopping via the Amazon links, including all those much too shy to say hello.
It’s much appreciated and is what keeps this place here.
Which rather tickles the nub of the wider trans issue.
And I’m still trying to process how this hackneyed display of drag-queening is supposed to reverse the decline in US Navy recruitment. Maybe they’re hoping to appeal to gay people, in which case, the association of being gay with cartoonish transvestism isn’t exactly flattering or indeed appealing. Quite the opposite. Or perhaps they’re hoping to attract the sexually dysmorphic, which doesn’t exactly strike me as a good idea, given that demographic’s rates of self-harm, emotional instability, and serious personality disorders.
I mean, if your nation’s defence hinges on the decision-making of Mr Jeffrey Marsh, then you’re fucked to a degree that’s difficult to articulate.
That’s because they’re all too busy doing tv commercials.
That worked out well for Rear Admiral Levine albeit he didn’t even have to sign up. On the other hand it’s questionable how much recruiting the fairly obvious wrong’un Bradley Manning benefitted the US Army.
“Dangerous,” he projected.
How dare this disabled woman not wish to be vulnerable and subject to intimate physical contact by (a), an autogynephile man, i.e., a common pervert, or (b), a dysmorphic man, i.e., a man with a much higher probability of having a serious, possibly dangerous, Cluster B personality disorder.
Yes, how very dare she.
Regard the police accordingly.
You have to wonder whether the police officers comprehend just how much damage to their reputation and credibility, and to any public goodwill, is being done. And done very quickly.
A healthy neighborhood requires good relatives and neighbors. NOT an intrusive bullying government bureaucracy.
But liberals twist the meaning of every truism to justify and require fascism.
No bets. I know long-married and widowed liberal women who have not just drunk the Kool-Aid but have drained the bottle.
I laughed and I’m not sorry.
The company also hopes the show will accelerate a correction in the under-representation of people of colour in the theatre world.
Urgent. No doubt that will run longer than The Mousetrap.
That worked out well for Rear Admiral Levine…
Point of order, Levine is a US Public Health Service Admiral*, not a US Navy Admiral so never going to be in command of anything resembling a warship.
*(all four stars, not some mere two star Rear Admiral)
“You’re going to jail for DUI and reckless homicide.”
“So how do I go to school tomorrow?”
Some neighborhoods are full of people like this.
Best used for very short dates and interviews.
Tip jar pinged.
Bless you, sir. Should you be roused during the night by a remarkably loud fart, may you at least find it amusing.
It might be closer to the point to wonder if they care.
And entirely too many legislatures.
“it takes a village” These people have never lived in a village. Village life is usually dominated by a “big man” who is a tyrant and a bully. He does not care about the downtrodden or vulnerable. He extorts from people. There is no tolerance for gays or different points of view. It is not kumbaya. Or maybe, they know this and this is what they are really saying.
You have to wonder whether the police officers comprehend just how much damage to their reputation and credibility, and to any public goodwill, is being done.
Police officer: “Traffic is going slightly slower than it normally is in Central London” [I’m letting these people piss on your boots and then I’m telling you that it’s only slightly rainier.]
Driver: “I can see in all your faces, you like this stuff”
It’s not. They don’t want recruits, they want excuses. And if those excuses require bringing back the “selective” service, all the better. Imagine having the power to select young people, I’m sure it will be done totally at random, and impress upon them a way of life.
Maybe?

It is already past the Point of No Return

Which might, in context, be a more appropriate description…
Navy trans recruit ad: in the military, soldiers wear identical uniforms because they are interchangeable and expendable. You are NOT there to express your sexuality, whatever it may be. Or to express your true self.
It’s curious how so many “true selves” take the form of another generic drag queen.
I’m not gonna google this myself but it would not surprise me in the least if “studies” touting the health benefits of anal sex, especially for men, are not already in the works if not published somewhere. Along with the suppression of this information from past civilizations in history.
….aaand almost as if on cue (as if?) Dude Look Like A Lady comes on the sound system at the gym.
Swear to God, honest truth…getting ready to leave and Boy George’s Karma Chameleon comes on. Tell me again that this world is real.
Or any other personality dysfunction.
Which might, in context, be a more appropriate description…
One grade up from Rear Admiral is Vice Admiral.
Interesting article from Lionel Shriver.
What he said to the trans assh*le.
This “do you have a dick” part. And the other two parts. That right is the crux of the matter. Take the testosterone away from these assholes and 95% of this problem either goes away or becomes much, much more manageable. I generally don’t care what their mental issue is but as with any endeavor, if you show an honest commitment I can accommodate your expectations…delusions…whatever. Just leave the children out of it.
You’re more accommodating than me: I’m not willing to agree with the lies and delusions. Not willing to use the wrong pronouns, not willing to agree that a trans is the sex they claim to be. I can be polite, but the politeness ends when demands are placed upon me.
Is this dead dirtbag going to be the next George Floyd?
Oh, there will be the professional #wokesters who try to make it happen but too many have had their fill of untrammeled criminality.
Meh. Chop off your manly bits and I’m good. As I said, the testosterone drop solves most of this crap. The pronoun thing only goes so far as she/her however. I’m not playing crazy they/xem/dghhytggg games. Keep the kids out of it and it’s effectively FBM. For whatever reason I do believe some people are genuinely messed up in this department. I think it’s a mental problem but it’s nothing all that new. Which reminds me…isn’t it quite, quite, quite odd that Renee Richards and Wendy/Walter Carlos are still alive yet no one mentions them today? Nothing in their wiki bios recently except a brief mention of Richards being interviewed in 2017 by someone named Katie Couric. Whomever that is.
He will be so long as conservatives…”conservatives” continue to aspire to be the worthless pussy losers of their deepest wet dreams.
A block of instruction to be ignored.
Actually I am grateful, so tip jar ker-chinged.
Bless you, sir. May your enemies discover that they’ve booked an expensive holiday while quite drunk.

Come join us in a safe space for cotton candy, coloring, and temporary tattoos to celebrate our trans power over “provocateurs” with different thoughts because legally we cannot stop them.
Be sure to wear a mask while not eating and notice my 14 point bold italic because I am inclusive and you probably aren’t.
From here, which sometimes works, and sometimes doesn’t.
Oh no. They’re coming to “instigate debate.” To the escape pods.
I see they’re referring to Chris Elston (“Billboard Chris”), whose provocation is to stand silently with a placard opposing the drugging and mutilation of children, and, if approached, to politely engage in one-to-one conversation. In between being assaulted, repeatedly, and robbed, repeatedly, by those to whom safe spaces are now being offered. The word irony scarcely covers it.
I suppose it’s hardly surprising that a demographic so prone to Cluster B disorders would evolve an ideology, a collective attitude, contoured to their dysfunctions. That this ideological construction should dovetail so neatly with the attitudes of wokelings in general is, I suspect, something to ponder.
Here is a widespread delusion which is even more harmful than the trans fad.
That.
It’s already gone.
…in fact I think Clown World may have been dropped from Twitter. I keep getting the Poodle page.
Well, the only party likely to be violent, and gratuitously so – and to be histrionic, and manipulative, and dishonest – is the one being offered safety and emotional shelter. And colouring books.
The question is did this develop ‘organically’ or was it instigated/helped along by some third parties.
Cue Mr Ream and Bezmenov reference.
Although sometimes you don’t actually need a spy in the enemy’s camp, you just have to make the enemy think there’s one,
It’s already gone.
Still there for me, may be some temporary glitch like I was having with the Portland State nonsense link above.
The link still works for me.
The actual incident occurred in 2019. Roosevelt Rappley, who tried to rob a Dayton Ohio Dollar General store. I remember reading about it.
And note that this is the second member of that family to die violently. I will boldly suggest that the world would be better off without that family. Every member of that family.
I see that I cannot reach anything on twitter. I keep pages open for Scott Adams, Tim Newman, and Elon Musk and one or two others. Refreshes all give me the Poodle. Which does mean I’m hitting Twitter. Odd. Like another tech glitch I had recently with streaming the tv through my sound bar. Hmmm..
I’ll just leave this here, I think.
“In the comments WTP steers us…”. Heh. Maybe they saw me coming…
Outraged at self defense: the conceit seems to be “just give them your money” but such thugs will often just shoot you dead for no reason during a robbery. It is victimhood run amok
Outraged at self defense:
Many such cases.
Poodle page??
…and now for something completely different, what of the carbon footprint?
Check your browser – I was able to see it with no problem.
This, perhaps?
OK, this is really weird… I can hit Twitter from my (windoze) laptop but attempts from any of my Apple devices, two iPhones and two iPads I get the Poodle. Even taking the phone off of wifi and using the cellular network, the Poodle. I see/recall where Elon has a fight with Apple going back to last year and was charging iOS users more for their blue checkmark but I don’t have a twit account. Never had, checkmark or not. Just trying to access via browsers. Odd.
Nah bro…this:
[ Sounds of Ephemera being compiled. ]
TRIGGER WARNING
Not many hours (90 minutes for me) until it’s FRIDAY again.
Ah! crossed in the post
[ Sounds of Ephemera being compiled. ]
https://twitter.com/lmrwanda/status/1654050989962297345
Is that like the sound of one hand clapping?
I think there’s a lot of foul language and grunting involved.
It’s more like…
I may have abbreviated the process somewhat.
Challenge?!?
[ Checks links for one last time, presses schedule. ]
Because I know you care…I’m able to get to twitter posts via my iOS devices now. I still see no news regarding such an outage or problem.
It’s those viscose slacks. They build up static charge.
[ Loud crackling from WTP’s trousers, lights flicker and dim. ]
Well the acetate lace boxer shorts you sent me certainly aren’t helping matters.
[ In the gloom, sparking. Cutlery rattles. ]
[ Fetches welding goggles, lays down rubber matting. ]
Not a problem with a silk-and-cashmere
bloggingblog-commenting thong.BTW…on the odd chance anyone is or know anyone who is thinking of buying a furnished home in central Florida…well…
There are more than two genders:
‘7. Not crazy man who knows a good grift when he sees it.
‘8. Not crazy woman who knows a good grift when she sees it.
Bit late to the party but thanks for the blogging, David. Here’s a belated ping.
Bless you, sir. May your belches be unheard.
