I Detect A Lack Of Forethought
From Oklahoma City, the thrills and spills of public transport:
Oklahoma City Police arrested an Embark passenger for attacking a bus driver while he was driving this past weekend, which sent the bus directly into the side of a building. The passenger was trying to get the bus to stop at a railroad track. pic.twitter.com/X9oxY61II4

Today’s words, since you ask, are bogglingly selfish morony.
Update, via the comments:
As noted here before, many times, when it comes to the criminal underclass, we are but objects in their world.
Given its obviousness, you’d think the whole selfish morony thing might crop up occasionally in editorials and opinion pieces on the subject of crime. Instead, however, we tend to see quite different intentions.
Consider this an open thread.
F*cking hell. (Pardon my French.)

Per the previous post, “Drag Queens for Palestine” is a charming example of contradictions and obliviousness. Such as:
1) No drag queen story hour (or shows at all) allowed in Gaza, but they support Hamas
2) Gays illegal in Gaza but they support Hamas
3) Lots of women in these protests, ignoring the rape of women by Hamas and the lack of rights of women in Gaza
4) It was all about “punching a Nazi” for the last 7 years, until actual Nazis showed up (“kill the jews” plus the swastika) then they are supporting them
5) Constant whining about “hate” speech, but calling for genocide of Jews
Or to pick another topic:
1) “me too” and getting consent for even holding hands until trans showed up and then they get to go into women’s spaces
2) So proud of women’s sports because women can do anything, and then getting smoked by trans “women” and not complaining
Contradictions? What contradictions?
It’s time to treat them as objects.
I’m waiting for one of my female friends to whine just one more time about The Diary of Anne Frank being “banned” in Florida. Or elsewhere. And Maus! That bloody Maus cartoon book! OMG OMG OMG! I have one in the chamber, so to speak.
It seems fitting a link to the opening scene of Idiocracy was a YouTube recommendations at the end of that news brief.
Speaking of “punch Nazis” and Antifa: The official East German name for the Berlin Wall was the Antifascist Protection Rampart (Antifaschistischer Schutzwall).
That clip is raaaaacisss. Only one poc and he was later/farther down in the Clevon family tree. Please try and do better.
Bet his father would be proud. Oh wait.
being “banned” in Florida
Some months ago my Facebook feed was flooded with boosted posts from various library groups about “banned books”, and I was gratified to see the comments running about 50-50 between library Karens and people pointing out that not wanting porn in elementary school libraries wasn’t a “ban”.
The number of library Karens willing to outright state that library employees were better qualified than parents to know what books their children should be exposed to and so parents should sit down and STFU was instructive. As usual, the more you let them talk the more they reveal themselves.
For those who missed it in the previous thread…
Speaking of preening:
Presumably, the other victims of the thieves, who were wanted for no fewer than fifteen other burglaries, were deemed of no importance by Ms Lamy. Compared to her pretentious self-admiration, I mean.
We’ve been here before, of course.
This is the point when you hope the criminals go back for seconds.
Well, you have to wonder if habitual burglars who are also illegal immigrants are to be deemed exempt from corrective consequences following other types of crime. The brutalising of pretentious French actresses, say. Because, based on the progressive logic, for want of a better word, it’s not entirely clear where the cut-off point is.
Seconds? No. How about some desert though? iykwim and I will report myself to the correction booth.
I live in what was up until recently one of the whitest, safest cities in Ontario (Steve E’s old stomping grounds). Since the rapid influx of third-world Liberal Party voters has now spread out of the GTA and into the surrounding exurbs, we now have routine reports of brazen daylight pickpocketing and purse snatching in the parking lots of very expensive grocery stores.
What amuses me is that the AWFULs who caused this problem are crying to the rooftops for Something To Be Done, but if you ask them to identify the race of the suspect they have conniptions.
Less amusing is the fact that the reason these thugs aren’t yanked off the driver and taken care of on the spot is that the populace has been disarmed and anyone who dares intervene will get the Daniel Penny treatment.
Your civic institutions are not your friends. They’re on the other side.
Bank robber: “If you call the cops, me or my friends will go after your family”
That kind of threat merits treating him as an object to be disposed of.
OT, cue Ziggy Stardust.
Is today’s word symbolism?
Thinking 5 seconds into the future is hard.
That’s the thing. It’s actually fairly difficult to imagine an adult mind with such a limited time horizon, and in which something that is such an Obviously Bad Idea – in so many ways – doesn’t register, immediately, as an Obviously Bad Idea.
“A young man allegedly shot his friend dead for taking a bite out of his girlfriend’s burger, an investigation in Pakistan has concluded.”

As noted here not too long ago,
Sociopathic activity and feral predation can – to the civilised – seem bewildering and surreal.
Do I see bacon in the file photo that the Daily Mail used? 🙂
No amount of “counseling” can fix such a seriously defective brain. Radical separation from society is necessary.
I feel like hearing James Mason’s voice. So tonight we shall be watching, er, Salem’s Lot.
[ Resists urge to comment knowing everyone is waiting for Phryday Ephemera to drop ]
I saw it on TV as a wee seedling. I vaguely remember being entertained.
What?
Look, it’s got James Mason. How bad can it be?
[ Prepares self for evening of impeccable diction and bloodcurdling terror. ]
More cultural enrichment.
I find this chillingly grotesque:
[ Prepares self for evening of impeccable diction and bloodcurdling terror. ]
Terror from the plot, or his usual overacting?
I realize being hit makes it difficult to focus on other things, but I am surprised the driver did not just stomp on the brakes and halt the bus. I’m thinking he’s not thinking much farther ahead than the criminal.
Mr Mason is the best thing in it. Alas, it’s not a towering work. You sort of have to watch it half-ironically.
Mr Mason is the best thing in it
He singlehandedly rescues the 1953 remake of The Prisoner of Zenda, as well.
