Argentina’s first transgender pilot has debuted the new uniform designed for the female pilots of the country’s national airline.

And hey, every passenger wants the pilot to be a bewigged, mentally ill fetishist who bangs on about the super-girly tightness of his uniform, and who takes endless, pouting selfies in the cockpit.
To say nothing of the heightened risk of suicidal inclinations. Ah, the thrill of modernity.
Before becoming a shimmering vision of womanliness, Mr Campolieto was a professional bodybuilder, a proverbial brick shithouse. Hence the bad wig, the transformative powers of which may have been overestimated.
Update, via the comments, where WTP adds,
From the above Publica link:
In 2020, the country’s President, Alberto Fernández, passed a decree establishing employment quotas in the public sector for individuals who identified as transgender. The decree mandates that at any given time at least one percent of all public sector workers in the national government must be transgender, as understood in the 2012 Gender Identity Law.
And so, the pilot in charge of 250 tonnes of Airbus A330, and on whom the lives of 400 or so passengers depend, is a man whose perceptions are wildly unreliable, at least regarding himself.
Previously: Banking and mental illness, together at last. Oh, and policing and mental illness. Because unstable personalities, such that a person isn’t entirely sure who or what they are on any given day, are very in right now.
Consider this an open thread. Share ye links and bicker.
Should’ve known… “Spiteful confiscation fetish.”
LOL
As the left grows more blatant in its malevolent intentions, why not advocate “turnabout is fair play” policies? “Immediate termination of all civil rights for commies” comes to mind. And remember, I’m only “asking questions” just as leftist intellectuals do. Right?
So asylums where the patients are given something to do besides sit around contemplating their navels. Not seeing the problem with that.
In theory, yes, and is how we get road crews, prison farms, Unicor and the like, but the reason they work is the threat of more punishment, in the olden days violence, or incentives like time off for good behavior, or just getting out of a cell for a few hours.
OTOH, seeing as how SSRI and ADHD “addicts” were specifically mentioned, anyone expecting anything resembling meaningful farm work out of a some middle aged person whose SSRIs were taken away, or from some coddled Gen Z whose Ritalin was taken away, is living in Wolkenkuckucksheim. Out of some fentanyl addict, even less. Unless, of course, there is the threat of punishment in which case the “Wellness Farm” is just another prison.
[Scene from the future: I did a five year stretch for grand theft auto, how about you? Four on the organic farm for being depressed.]
Paying for it with a tax on cannabis. OK, sure it is legal to use it but not grow it even for your own misbegotten use, if you do, we’ll sic the revenuers on you. If only that sort of thing had been tried in the past…

Yes. LOL. Now watch as these people become more important, eat up more media cycles than the people (or their dead bodies) still being held hostage from October 7. The sympathy, the tears. Yet another brainwashing operation begins. But LOL. I will LOL when there is a serious government behind the prosecution of these people. Perhaps even a government in which it is OK for prominent people to LOL these people from UK soil without fear of government censorship.
This. We need to take the gloves off. Time is not on our side.
Agree. But to me the point of the work is more to keep them occupied/focused on a somewhat productive task. Getting people off of these drugs isn’t going to happen without some sort of effort involved. People can quit these drugs without extreme intervention like this but having this option available for extreme cases shouldn’t be such a big deal. Again, we used to have asylums for many much more daunting situations, and much less…uh…daunting situations as well. With the more extreme opioid cases, punishment will likely be needed, yes. One way or another the problem needs to be addressed. I’m not a fan of letting perfection be the enemy of the good.
You know what the funniest thing about Europe is? It’s the little differences.
“Very smart people” told me that it was wrong to disapprove of pervy Ru Paul. I wonder if they will ever realize how wrong they were.

Given the branding of Islam as ‘The Religion of Peace™’ despite the behaviour of its adherents that assertion might be in need of some revision.

From the post at the link, which accuses Trump of not embracing rappers like Yeat and Kanye.
Wasn’t Kanye associated with Trump in some way while Trump was president? Had some meetings with him, was definitely not dismissed, was at least heard out? And in 2020 during the campaigns, the rapper 50 Cent reached out to both candidates to discuss something or other about black people. Trump, Mr. Art of the Deal, said “sure come on down let’s have a chat”. Biden’s people said “we’ll be glad to make an appointment with you all after the election”. I think 50 Cent was also the guy who joked that if Biden got elected, he’d become 20 Cent and he didn’t want to be poorer.
This Stalin-esque rewriting of history is really pissing me off. They aren’t even trying to hide the “corrections” and blatant lying about things.
This one’s for Daniel Ream. A study of mean girls.
DEI comes for insects?
Will the gallery be “contesting” attitudes that aren’t “conservative”?
Even if they do they’ll never admit it. To do so would be to admit they’ve whored out their children for social cachet.
Sure.
Any day now.
Be patient.
Someone really needs to tell Harley-Davidson the whole chaps & leathers thing is just middle-managers getting their freak on.
Well, Harley riders are all a bunch of fags anyway. Doesn’t anyone keep up with popular culture?
Seemingly able to learn, however.
I’m not sure who you are working with. If you deal with multiple microservices connected with message queues of some sort, you have to handle (or at least recognize that it might happen) that the downstream thingy may not like what you gave it and the upstream thingy may start giving you shit all of a sudden.

Noted that they didn’t do this to Muhammad. Hmmmm. Tis a mystery.

Found in that Twitter account:

And the amazing thing about that painting is that the same scene (OK, without the haywain – they are scarce these days – and with some modern modifications) can still be seen today. The pond is still there as is Willy Lot’s Cottage which is still occupied. Of how many “classic” English landscapes by other painters can you say the same?
In my yoof I had the privilege of staying there on several occasions.
Whose next? Lowry for lack of diversity?
I’m just going to leave this here. For no reason whatsoever.
