You can, should you wish, follow me on X.
And since you ask, yes, this blog is kept afloat by the tip jar buttons below.
The business implications are clear.
Well, that’s one way of looking at it.
Wait, what, but Japan is his top pick? Uh, has he ever been there?
I just don’t think I could live anywhere where there’s, like, one group of people
This doesn’t apply to white countries, which never had any culture and whose people can’t even wash their own socks at this point without immigrants, so of course we’re grateful for anyone who turns up, but maybe her attitude to Japan and China can be a demonstration of the ludicrous entitlement of millions of mediocre migrants treating foreign countries like hotels and ticking them off on their offerings, her criteria being public transport, social safety net (which she implicitly assumes the people of her chosen country are eager to provide to her), gay marriage, and diversity on the model of the Southern California that she’s fleeing.
On her recent inspection of Japan, it scored high marks on her public transport rubric, in fact she was so impressed that she’s prepared to compromise with both Japan and China on their current lack of gay marriage. What is this implicit negotiation that’s happening in her head and that the people of Japan and China haven’t asked for – she wants a foreign country where she has no roots to provide a permanent home and social safety net. And she wants that country to change so that it provides her with the lifestyle of the region that she wants to flee from, although she’s prepared to compromise on the pace of that change. In return for her patience about your tardiness making your own country agreeable for her, you get … her, and millions of people like her.
Band name. Had to act fast.
The two litre bottle of Coke, the can of Pringles, the attire and the attention to detail led me to expect a totally different outcome.
AI is getting too good.
We may have found the source of David’s squirrels.
Happy ending?
Look closer.

Should be Bathtime cunning.
And now I’m wondering if “Rook” has a special meaning for the differently-gendered community, between this fine example and Dragon Age: The Veilguard‘s player character being known as Rook.
For those unaware of that particular dumpster fire last fall, it was marketed as featuring mastectomy scars for the player character, intersectional virtue signaling, a quest for your PC to assume a trans identity, and most annoying of all, a they/them party member who isn’t going to let a little thing like an apocalypse get in the way of demanding others affirm her preferred pronouns, but is perfectly fine bullying other characters about how she perceives their identities.
Jane Goodall was right!
Verdict please?
M or F?
The worst thing I saw on the internet today.
Maybe AI needs to work out some things.
Maybe the prompt did this on purpose.
The prescient analogy to AI companions that we never noticed.
Pun intended.
Is the dog walking away in shame?
My Twitter mutual, Random Snake Facts (@random_snakes) says that pythons are lazy and slow and rarely attack humans.
I approve.
Morning, all.
She, I believe. And it would appear Madam’s principles are not altogether coherent and don’t quite correspond with the realities of the world. China and Japan being so famed for their racial diversity, of course.

“I need to be safe… diversity would be great”…
Well, indeed. That some of the social phenomena she desires may exist in tension with other social phenomena she desires does not appear to have occurred to her. Apparently, you can just tick whatever boxes, as many as you like, and it all works out fine. There being no physical limits of any kind.
No frictions or incompatibilities.
It’s the combination – something of a signature among the type – of presumption, self-satisfaction, and quite staggering wrongness.
Not entirely unrelated: “The thing about America.“
And speaking of those tensions and incompatibilities, the ones that apparently don’t exist.
Amsterdam.
She wants to live in Amsterdam.
Thing is, these are not just the witterings of one clueless young woman. The same assumptions inform a great deal of progressive posturing. See also, Mr Dan Snow, our BBC broadcaster mentioned here, for whom the fact that his fluffy, multicultural mass-immigration fantasies might have any physical, real-world limits is seemingly inconceivable.
And pointing out vividly contrary evidence only makes him peevish, not reflective.
Not a natural blonde, I’m guessing.
But it’s never about attention-seeking, right?
Antifa psycho-bint thinks showing her arse will help.
Remember, dear readers, these are the ascended beings to whom we should defer.
Works in HR.
I suspect our smiling CEO’s net worth is about to be halved.
On the upside, it has resulted in some quality memes.
Plausible assessment.
The sordid truth about Jane Goodall.
And you know liberals will find reasons to excuse such psychotic behavior.
“Reasons”.
Batshit journalist sees airport limo, thinks it’s ICE, wants to “intervene”.
How the hell are these people real?
All news should be like this.
Got to say, a game show in which newsreaders have to keep it together while being dosed with increasingly potent mind-bending substances is not without its appeal.
See his big flappy tail.
By the ears.
When you haven’t quite thought it through.
Psycho- or pseudo-?
Verdict please?
Cosplaying James May.
Meanwhile, being nekulturny, we missed International Drag Day. To atone for this unforgivable oversight King Julez will lead us in prayer.
Bicycle accessory of note.
Or she could just surround herself with mirrored surfaces. So that she could think about herself, and see herself, and think about herself some more, all the time.
