Their Teats Were Swollen With Human Kindness
And that’s a good thing. Because it’s time to remind patrons that this rickety barge is kept afloat by the kindness of strangers. If you’d like to help it remain buoyant a while longer, and remain ad-free, there are three buttons below the fold with which to monetise any love. Debit and credit cards are accepted. If what happens here is of value, this is a chance to show it.
If one-click haste is called for, there’s a QR code in the sidebar, at which you point your phone, and my PayPal.Me page can be found here. As requested, I’ve added SubscribeStar and Ko-Fi accounts, via which love may also be monetised, whether as one-off donations or monthly subscriptions.
Additionally, any Amazon UK shopping done via this link, or via the button in the sidebar, results in a small fee for your host at no extra cost to you. Feel free to buy things wildly and in bulk.
For newcomers wishing to know more about what’s been going on here for the last seventeen years, in over 3,000 posts and 200,000 comments, the reheated series is a pretty good place to start – in particular, the end-of-year summaries, which convey the fullest flavour of what it is we do. A sort of blog concentrate. If you like what you find there… well, there’s lots more of that.
Do take a moment to poke through the discussion threads too. The posts are intended as starting points, not full stops, and the comments are where much of the good stuff is waiting to be found. And do please join in.
As always, thanks for the support, the comments, and the company.
By all means consider this an open thread.
Oh yes. The buttons:
This is the way.
“Four karate experts and a chaplain.”
[ Checks tomorrow’s Ephemera links, clicks schedule. ]
This. Cannot be said too often.
Pretending to care more than you do has two purposes: Social status and the advancement of an evil ideology.
The “woke”ideology attracts sociopaths.
The ideology grooms vulnerable personalities into sociopathic ideation. (How else could so many Germans have embraced Nazism?)
Some nitwit protester who has a struggle at SOAS University does the meme.
Though I am disinclined to believe that the same rozzers who march tarted up in “pride” parades did any of the stuff mentioned by these loons (they claim to have video, but none have been seen so far), if they did the tiniest fraction I am finding it hard to find fault in the least.
Meanwhile in LA (the California one) we learn from one obviously steeped in Science!™ that “long” covid affects the homeless, “trans”, POC, _______ (fill in the blank with your favorite victim groups) more than anyone else.
Ideally, the unrelenting narcissism should have been slapped out of them before they get to university and can inflict it on others.

Another toxic Hollywood family. We can only guess at the specific psychological and moral defects of Ben Affleck and his wife that led to this.
We’ve been seeing a lot of that lately, criminals who think police cannot touch them without their consent. “Do not touch me!” joins “I can’t breathe!” and various other battlecries of the morally dead.
Well, you might wonder what particular mental process allows someone to see habitual burglars, or car thieves, armed muggers, violent criminals of all kinds, acting with assuming impunity, and to then declare the aggressor to be the victim, the one we should care about, the one who is “vulnerable.” While dismissing as unimportant the actual victim, insulting them, calling them “privileged,” and waving aside their sense of violation and their expectations of justice.
It’s not, as feigned, an expression of compassion. It’s an expression of cruelty and perversity. Of malevolence.
And speaking of crime and utterly dysfunctional responses to it:
“Unanimous approval.”

She [sic] is reality star turned mental health blogger, of course.
Laughed, not sorry.

Also, to no one’s surprise, in California:
One way to lower crime stats, I guess.
It was all a bluff. Talk, talk. Especially after the cockup at Kent State, those ‘students’ have been running western civilization for the past half of a century. No one has the guts to even simply arrest the new generation of worthless leftist insurrectionist scum. Oh, maybe onesy-twosey here and there to put on a show to give “conservatives” a reason to tell conservatives to calm down because, see? Things are changing! Then right back to the old BS.
I would say I wonder what she did to herself but, well, I don’t. I don’t care what happened to her, what she did to herself, what sort of dehumanising she participated in. All I want is for her to feel the full effects of the Hell she so blithely wishes on others.
I wouldn’t be surprised to see more sentiments along such lines from ‘progressive’ bobbleheads. The feral and predatory being left largely unmolested, and thereby emboldened, while the law-abiding, the ones being preyed upon, are scolded for daring to complain, or for noticing certain patterns, or just for having their lives in some semblance of order.
As when Minneapolis City Council President Lisa Bender declared that a dislike of having your home invaded by sociopathic predators, and having the lives of your family put in serious danger, “comes from a place of privilege.”
This seems a plausible trajectory, given the moral inversions already underway.
Is is ever really too late for an abortion?
Look to the entourage – it’s unlikely either of the parents have much to do with their offspring beyond the occasional photo shoot.
Well, it’s cheaper than hiring police and the shop-keepers are more likely to obey the law than the criminals.
Good point. But the very existence of an entourage condemns the parents.
Always respect the media.
It seems Senator Menendez was also making preparations for a Labour government.
Via Ace, an iceberg of note. (Caution – yes, for an iceberg)
To my point regarding This is the way:

If one of those women had been armed, she could have solved his personality problems with one bullet.
