At our glorious state broadcaster, that beacon of human progress:
Posts made on her Facebook page include calling Jewish people “Nazi apartheid parasites” that funded a “holohoax”. Her posts repeatedly attack white people, calling them a “virus” and “mutant invader species.” […] Other posts state that white people have disturbed the natural order of the planet, and that they are a “barbaric bloodthirsty rapacious murderous genocidal thieving parasitical deviant breed”.
Hiring the very best, I see. Ms Queva has also denounced her employer as the “Bigoted Broadcasting Company.” Don’t worry. I’ve hired a truck to help shift the pile of ironies.
Peter Saunders on forgotten knowledge, now all but taboo:
Noah Carl on the “diversity” trilemma:
Since social stability is paramount for most governments (winning re-election is hard when people are rioting in the streets), there are really only two ways to “solve” the diversity trilemma: by being picky with immigration, or by infringing civil liberties. To date, Britain has opted mainly for the latter.
And in technological news:
The educator in question, Mark Paterson, worries that black children “could end up interacting with white robots.” Specifically, “robots with reflective white surfaces.”

Seems rather pointless then. If you can’t slam your opponent into the glass, how’s he (ok, she…no, wait…) supposed to learn anything?
Also, if AI was a real thing I should have seen an all-time NFL Taylor Swift lineup by now. You know, Lawrence Taylor MLB, D’Andre Swift RB, Jason Taylor DE, Doug Swift OLB, Fred Taylor RB…
No, obviously not. That’s what beauty pageants are for.

It got community noted. The photo was manipulated. Here’s the original.
Nah. Some women enjoy playing sports, and they’d like it to be popular. Even if men’s sports didn’t exist they’d still like it to be popular.
Freud made stuff up. Most of us wimmin are just fine not being one of you.
One of the great joys, now mostly lost, of kids having free play (IOW, kids outside without any adult supervision) is making do or making it up when it came to pickup games of any sort. Someone got a ball? What kind? How many kids can we get? Where to play? Boys and girls engage in a sport together just for the fun of it.
I grew up on a block where it was mostly boys so I was the tomboy who helped round out the baseball teams. Or we rode bikes or skated or climbed trees or played Red Rover or dodgeball or made-up games with rules and if we didn’t like it, we moved on to the next.
Most of us accept that by a certain age, the sports that rely on physical strength means we don’t play on mixed teams anymore. But we still enjoy playing sports for sports’ sake, NOT to compete with boys.
Speaking of BBC employees:
It would seem that, for some, the wellbeing of gang rapists outweighs the wellbeing of their victims, and likely future victims.
Some of you may recall Ms Shellyne Rodriguez, the machete-wielding educator and “public intellectual” – the one who denounced expectations of civilised behaviour as “racism” and an “attack” on “women, trans people, black people, Latinx people, migrants, and beyond.”
Well, it seems our art teacher’s, shall we say, artistic temperament has gotten her into bother again.
The perfect yacht for David’s Lair of Evil.
he can be credited with coming up with some insights and some techniques, but his habit of treating those who dissented as heretics was unforgivable.
They see themselves as implacable enemies of the West, and friends of all who seek to destroy us. It is past time to treat them accordingly.
The problem is when women athletes demand equal pay and fame in spite of the much smaller fan base.
I wonder what it was about the violent, abusive, foul-mouthed, axe-wielding, racist, antisemitic criminal lunatic that first appealed to the Cooper Union School of Art?
Not a trivial question. Having become, shall we say, famous for being a danger to students, colleagues, and members of the public, she was nonetheless employed by another academic institution. Another leftist fiefdom.
Let me offer you something wholesome and refreshing to start the week – because puppies make everything better.
I photographed the last five remaining pups of a litter that were born in a cave in East Tennessee. A group of volunteers went out during the snow and sub-zero temps in mid-January to rescue them and their mother; while two of the original ten sadly succumbed to the elements by the time they got there, all remaining dogs were saved and are doing well. Hopefully, these last five – Chert, Dripstone, Dolomite, Limestone, and Flowstone – will find homes. And if I had to estimate, I would say they have a bit of Mountain Cur in them, a breed native to Appalachia.

Meanwhile…
Awwwwww.
I think you just said it.
Today’s word is trundle.
Apparently our cities are not violent enough.
I’m trying to imagine the problem to which the device above is supposedly a solution.
Easy: He wasn’t getting enough attention.
[ Rolls hard-boiled egg along bar. Fluff accumulates. ]
Don’t worry, it’s pre-shelled.
Say, do you remember the Pride Pillar in London Bridge station, this is the guy behind it (NPI) and evidently MBEs have become as silly as Biden giving the Presidential Medal of Freedom to that Rapinoe soccer clown.
Not much improvement.
Oooh! Second breakfast!
Indeed true. But it is some improvement. And deceivers need dealing with.
And farther down that thread we read that he jokes(?) about sexually abusing young boys.
Speaking of which, remember that South Park episode about a gay man who wanted to be a scout leader and take young boys on camping trips? Trey Parker and Matt Stone heaped scorn on any who would question his motives and prohibit him from doing so–that would be “intolerant”, doncha know.
Some women enjoy playing sports, and they’d like it to be popular.
The supermarket chain that sponsors women’s football in Ireland has put out an ad campaign urging people to smash inequality by filling every seat at games. Which is a strangely put-your-money-where-your-mouth-is approach compared to the usual. Who’d have thought that for the price of a ticket to a women’s football match you not only get to smash the patriarchy but as an added bonus you get to see a women’s football match.
The surveys are quite interesting too – 59% of people admit to never having attended a female sporting event (41% have attended … what?), 74% think it’s a shame that people don’t attend female sporting events, over half the population think there’s a high quality of women’s sport. Which would suggest that the majority have no ill-will towards women playing sport and have nice things to say about it when prodded, but just aren’t interested in watching it.
Yet more evidence that our cities are not violent enough.

Diversity™ is Important!

“We need all diversity of thought…”, irony can be pretty ironic.
Excepting Fort Worth, the major cities in Texas are run by the left/liberal/progressive sort.
and for those who missed it, how to stay poor.
The reason these articles always highlight irresponsible, unsympathetic people is deliberate. They’re not trying to sell UBI, they’re trying to increase social division by forcing readers into two camps: the men and not-brown people who will be disgusted by the waste of taxpayer money, and the women and brown people who have been primed to see this as their just desserts from an unfair society. It’s Bezmenov 101. See also George Floyd, Treyvon Martin, Michael Brown, and…
The sudden interest in women’s football thus has a bogus feel about it, like the simulated enthusiasm of a crowd for the dictator in a communist state.
It’s always about weakening sociey so it can’t defend itself.
What about elevenses? Luncheon? Afternoon tea? Dinner? Supper?
For some reason I find this very calming.
Sounds as though you need more fluff.
I was hoping for a Full English.
Full English.
It was kinda weird seeing them defend Diversity, when the real principle is that none of society’s institutions should randomly exclude people, especially not based on complexion. Because it’s just plain wrong.
I thought the armed services had already been doing pretty well by insisting on race-blind meritocracy, by putting mission readiness first, and wouldn’t you know, racial minorities did just fine when judged by objective criteria.
What on earth are they proposing they do differently?
Yes indeed. They’ve been doing that for a long time, and doing it well.
The only possible explanations for the left’s DEI demands are stupidity, corruption, and malice.
