I didn’t see that coming…
I’m trying to imagine what readers of, say, Mixmag, circa 1991, would’ve made of it.
Needs a righteous Techno Viking with (holy?) water accomplice.

Cue Father Ted.
Worst gay club ever.
“Toxic interactions” – or getting pushback on the narrative?
Let’s not forget the Canadian media professionals who insisted that being a journalist on Twitter, where readers can tweet mockery and corrections in close to real time, is indistinguishable from surviving in an active warzone. And who claimed that the pejorative use of the word woke can induce “anxiety, depression and post-traumatic distress.”
And all while seeming bewildered by the lack of deference shown by the general public.
Some good news. Sikh store owner not being charged.
Someone brought up the value of shame wrt crime. I think lack of shame has a lot to do with the current rampant mental illness. Not talking about illness with a medical basis like psychosis. A lot of the mental illness today falls into neurosis, narcissism, obsession, and general weirdness. Shame would let you know that certain thoughts and behaviors are out of line, and you could work to overcome them. For example, guys would discover that girls are put off by whiny guys, and they would knock it off. Jobs would make it clear that one must dress nice and behave. Or your job on the farm would simply be unforgiving of narcissism and weirdness. Now, you can not only avoid negative feedback but you get positive reinforcement for being weird. The more weird the better. No reality check for many people. Not an ideal situation.
In the dominant culture, there is a lot of celebration of romance and love (like valentine’s day), but we do not get overt celebration of sex per se. Now, however, there are a bunch of alphabet people whose identity is defined by sex acts. To be “celebrated” we must not elide the sex they do, we must overtly mention it and be “happy” about it. So if elementary kids do Valentine’s day (which never mentions sex itself), they must also do queer day (month) and explicitly be exposed to gay sex. It would be possible to feel included in valentine’s day if gay (since romance is romance), but this is not what the activists want.
As is proper.
Broomstick Sikhs.
An interesting new fact. Blue Beetle had already robbed that same 7-11 twice in the past 24 hours.
The progressive retail experience goes international.
Ooh, now do trans-sexualism.
Telling the truth is a criminal act.
Ooh, now do trans-sexualism.
And when I was 15 I thought I was going to be a rock star, which was even less likely becoming a Japanese. It’ll soon be time for her to grow out of this, but if Alisa thinks she’s a Jap at 15, it shows that she’s got a soul, empathy, imagination. And that she admires the Japanese, which is a nice thing.
As far as I know, Alisa and the thousands like her aren’t going to Japan, demanding that the Japanese to treat them like one of their own, and treating any hesitancy or skepticism as evidence of the moral illegitimacy of the Japanese people (not that japanese people are a real thing, experts agreeing that “japanese” is a cultural construct emerging from a dark history of discrimination against the Gaijin).
This is called “you get what you vote for”.
Douglas Murray on the unacceptable whiteness of Vikings.

“Shocking videos showed Metropolitan Police officers wielding batons and chasing after people in Europe’s busiest shopping street….“
Yes, that IS shocking. Usually they turn up well after the crime, and not before.
“A post on TikTok appeared to promote an organised “robbery” of an Oxford Street store”.
I wonder if that little POS Mizzy was involved? However it’s more likely he is working on his media career.
“I think I’m turning Japanese, I think I’m turning Japanese, I really think so.”
Archaic pop-culture reference detected.
