Incoming.

Great googly moogly.

Singapore court sentences German vandals to be caned 3x, jailed for 9 months
Take their sentence for doing easily cleaned damage, and think about how much more severe the sentence should be for actual destruction of art.
Thank goodness United has a good DEI score… as I was at IAH when they decided to park on the grass…
“Not everyone can be a robot polisher.”
Polish up the handle on the big front door?
“transwidows”–yes, I imagine it is pretty horrifying. I had a friend whose wife left him for another woman. They had kids. He was much more devastated than if she left him for another man.
Also happened to a man I knew, although he was very cagy about how much affected him. It happened to a women I knew slightly, and she was beyond furious. I imagine her thoughts in part were “What happened to ’till death do us part’?” and “You tricked me into wasting my youth and now I’m past peak marriageable age.”

But “popular in the Midwestern United States”? I’ve never heard of it.
To have your husband of many years suddenly announce that he’s actually a woman – and always has been a woman – and to then hear many of your mutual friends publicly affirming this fiction – the fiction that has destroyed your marriage and left your children fatherless – and told, by him, not to call him ‘Dad’ – must be quite surreal.
And not in a jolly way.
Er, what?
The Raith Rovers, the Scottish football club that had the revolutionary idea of practicing with balls
Notice they didn’t mention whose.
Modern complications.
Also:
Reminds me of growing up in the San Fernando Valley (from ages 0-13), starting in the mid 50’s when it was mostly citrus groves and fields. Fall and Santa Ana winds set those thorny beasts loose. Good times.
“Justice-involved individuals”.
Now, if we wanted to make fun of the Germans, what “identities” should those three stripes represent?
British readers should look away now. Condiment miscalculation.
Regarding the above:
I think a paddlin’ is in order.
She’s going to feel that later.
It goes like this:
I’m also vaguely remembering eating something with a description that used to amuse us of “cheese food” in college.
So then are Coptics unwelcome at NASA?
Women weaken legs! Maybe balls too. I mean balls weaken the legs. I mean, oh forget it…
Lutherans ruin everything.
Liberal Jane, a “queer feminist making art about bodily autonomy” which amazingly looks like every other bit of dreck of the sort, has a thought about International Women’s Day, not an original or wrongthink one, but a thought. Sort of.
Minnesota, where the women are stunning and brave, the men are trans, and the children are all above average consumers of antidepressants.
Wrap a gherkin in a slice of ham and use it to scoop out the Philadelphia?
Seems kind of a fancy name for something I’d do when I roll home late and pissed.
Looks like good 1980s party food. It would go down nicely with a snowball and a cheese & pineapple hedgehog.
Good news ladies, there is a new Lyft app to match you with a “non-binary” driver like this chap! What could possibly go wrong!

Careful – I have a cocktail stick and I’m not afraid to use it!
But I have the Cornish Power Pasties and I know how to use them! Bwa-hah-hah!
Condiment miscalculation.
You’d think the size of the jar might have given her a clue. From the video, it looked like she had the large jar (170 grams). So if the large jar is that small…
Most people buy the small (100 gams) jar. That’s what I buy and it lasts forever. Also, don’t put it on the bread, put it on the ham.
What the hell is happening in Oklahoma? Pay up or you have to do disgusting things?
Progressive posturing does seem to require a very high tolerance of incoherence, internal contradiction, and the kind of begged-question slogans that are all but designed to shut down thought.
For instance, a professed concern for “bodily autonomy” appears alongside a jolly pink poster for “Abortion Provider Appreciation Day,” which suggests that the bodily autonomy of some people, very small ones, doesn’t count.
And even if “bodily autonomy” only, conveniently, applies to a subset of women, one might have thought it would extend to concerns regarding creepy, mentally ill men barging into women’s intimate spaces for a furtive wank.
But apparently not. Because “a woman is anyone who identifies as one.”
I think we’ll give that one a post of its own. Comments that-a-way.
Can you put a price on motherhood? Evidently, you can. Bet it turns into a long term gig.

You jest, but… Being imagination-challenged, I struggle to come up with any real-world job position that someone with “Complete Paralysis, Epilepsy” can fulfill, unless his/her name is Stephen Hawking.
Even more so: “Severe intellectual disability” and “Psychiatric disability”.
In related news, the CHIPS Act, purportedly intended to stimulate domestic semiconductor production, is failing due to being weighed down with 19 DEI requirements. Parasites. Our institutions are run by parasites.
The purpose of a system is what it actually does, not what it is advertised as doing.
Woman defames bar after she was peacefully ejected.
I’d like to see more victims taking steps to destroy the reputations of their defamers. This would mean lifelong consequences for a lot of women and essentially everyone in the Black Lives Matter movement.
