As I’m otherwise occupied, some items from the archives:
A radical young lady asks, “What do we eat during the revolution?”
Apparently, the revolution will be fuelled by cashew milk and vegan pseudo-cheese. Because as capitalism is toppled, and amid the riots and burning cars, there will, it seems, be space for neurotic niche cuisine. And so, while her comrades “break capitalism” and “abolish” prison, and as violent criminals roam the streets unmolested, Margot will be instructing the little people on how to dry pepper seeds and how to wash foraged bin scraps in vinegar to remove any trace of those nasty pesticides.
For readers in search of some below-the-belt upgrades.
Thank goodness a teacher walks among us, a guide to what lies ahead. Meet Laura (formerly Lawrence) Jacobs, a man who describes himself as “trans and genderqueer-identified, kinky and non-monogamous,” and as a “lesbian” with “multiple intersecting identities.” And – because the universe has a sense of humour – a psychotherapist.
He didn’t know he was in a gang, you see, so how dare you sentence him?
Hey, it’s an easy mistake to make. Accidentally putting on a balaclava and stalking someone, based on their race, then menacing them, and tasing them, and tugging the wedding ring from their twitching finger, and then barging into their home and taking their stuff. And then doing it all over again, and again, and again, all entirely by accident. I mean, who here hasn’t done it?
Ladies, good news. Danger is now something you can just pretend away.
You see, in the progressive pecking order, the fantasies of sexually dysmorphic men – and the preferences of male sex offenders – are of much greater importance than any “discomfort” felt by the women and girls on whom the former groups choose to impose themselves. Women and girls whose role, it seems, is merely to understand and tacitly affirm. To be reluctant accessories to some strange man’s psychodrama, while remaining free of judgement. Which is frowned upon.
Because the modern, not-at-all-insane response to repeated acts of indecency and sexual intimidation – by a predatory man in the women’s changing rooms – is to ask him not to keep waving his erection at women and children. On grounds that what he’s waving could somehow be a lady’s penis. Such is the sophistication of our times.

Enigmatic Handbags.
Band name?
WTF does that stupid b***h work for? F***, I hate these people. They only exist because we tolerate them. People need to stop being so f****g complacent about this sh*t.

Fails to find “Space Shoes”, but accidentally finds “Enigmatic Handbags”. An actual book, not just a YouTube video. With two five-star reviews by persons who are presumably either the author or his friends.
Aglow? Not sure what sort of tart causes a fever. Would doxycycline be warranted?
Perhaps UN drones would be less delusional if they themselves were targets of endless terrorist attacks. But no, their plight would never cause them to become more sympathetic to the plights of others. Given that grim reality, I concur that they should not be tolerated, much less subsidized.
We’ve gone from ‘colored’ to ‘negro’ to ‘black'( it was beautiful at one time as I recall) to ‘African American’ to ‘Black’ to now…‘dark complected with brown eyes‘. Though ‘white‘ is coming on strong as well, I hear. My poor mother said ‘colored people’ until the day she died. Look at all the fun she missed.
Again. (Again).
You left out “of color”. 😀
Nah. Close, though. John Haensgen is the drummer and AncientWisdomExplorer, aka AWE, is the stage name his base player (birth name Arthur Cunningham) goes by.
A drummer and a bass player. The jokes almost write themselves.
Longtime reader and writer here. Recently I came across some list of the top “literary” blogs, and decided to subscribe to them to see what’s going on in the industry.
Within a month, I had unsubbed to all of them. Their politics were intolerable. All book bans are wrong (except for those aimed that the Bad People). Their author interviews were of uninteresting people who had an axe to grind (memoirists), wanted to proclaim what part of their body they stuck into whom or which parts they preferred stuck into them/they.
The crisis came when Hamas massacred Israelis. Oh, the cries and lamentations against Israel! Why couldn’t they die quietly?
The only saving grace was the numerous petitions they signed and displayed supporting the terrorists, and apparently no one cared outside their bubble. When a bad tweet could make you the target of the cancel pigs, these gremlins of the literary world were ignored.
Hey, I can play the straight man but my fee is 65% of the take.
Hamas can end this tomorrow with unconditional surrender PRECEDED by releasing all hostages.
Otherwise, I’d like to see Gaza turned into glass and unlivable by any one for a couple hundred years.
Biden is going to give Hamas both a floating pier and the potential to murder any number of US Military personnel bringing/building/protecting it. Dear lord, shades of Beirut.
Heartening.
…‘dark complected with brown eyes‘.
Given the sheer numbers of armed police, state troopers, national guards, army, navy and air force now guarding the NY subway wouldn’t it make more sense just to keep all the criminals down there instead of letting them in and out of prison all the time?
Snake Plissken has entered the chat…
Though I am a little surprised not to read an op-ed in the New York Times pontificating on the moral acceptability of sending troops into those tunnels.
Must be their day off.
…‘dark complected with brown eyes‘.
Was that a “fiery but mostly peaceful” incident?
Equal parts distressing and gratifying. That’s just how bent we humans are.
I was here in 2010?!!!?
Did the internet even exist yet?
Wait, WHAT??!!
[ Fetches comfy chair, support stockings. ]
Meh. I’ve had discussions with local police in a few jurisdictions that are not far off from this. It’s the inevitable result of the general undermining of our society, law and order**. Speak up about it and even your “conservative” friends, especially if they are management types/material and you will be treated like a conspiracy theorist. F*** people. Especially Canadians. They get what they deserve.
** Remember boys and girls, there is no such thing as a slippery slope. The philosophers at the big universities proved this. That is all you need to know.
I think we’ll give that one a post of its own. With bonus update.
Canadian police advise home owners to leave their wives outside so armed thieves can rape them more easily without confronting home husbands.
“They’re breaking into your home to rape your women. They don’t want anything else.”
Lie back, think of England, and thank the nice policeman for holding your hand during it all.
F*** people. Especially Canadians. They get what they deserve.
Canadians voted for this, repeatedly, and if you ask the average man on the street they’ll tell you that they hate Trudeau and the Liberals, but then they’ll vote for the exact same policies over and over again. Canada is thoroughly demoralized in the Bezmenov sense of the term.
