So the M&Ms candy mascots have now been cancelled because some of their footwear wasn't sexy enough. This is the world we live in.

Nonono, you're refusing to get it. Anyone so lacking in self-respect as to spend time and effort making a stink about something so astoundingly stupid, at the braying behest of a cable news host with palpable disdain for each and every one of them, is actively looking for any and every excuse to be an insufferable asshole, and will not - repeat NOT - "come together" with anyone else, including you, no matter how much you cater to their bad-faith, nonsensical whims. Ever.

If you really want to "bring people together", the first thing you do is tell those actively attempting to prevent you from doing so to, in no uncertain terms, fuck off.

Oh, and teachers keeping books in the classroom that haven't been vetted by a librarian, or even students bringing in an "unapproved" book from home, is now a felony in Florida. So there's that.

lmao! my old boss JW FLYNT aka BRANNAWU is rattling the GAYMORGAAAATE tin again, re: the new Harry Potter game. :o Looks like I have to return to active duty, as the intrepid (TRVE+HONEST) OFFICIAL GiantSpaceTwat community liaison officer! Image

Unlike my boss's disowned member, though, it's gonna be hard as hell... Image I'm way out of the loop! Sorry boss! Last time I checked in, you were battling that rascally TRUMP-LOVING NAZI Stephen Lynch! (even HE NAME A RACISM :shock:) I wonder how many great pinball machines and sports cars you've bought since *COOF*

I mean, I wonder how many puppies and kittens you've rehoused from teh icy MASSACHUSETTS roads since then!

So! Gamers: are you excited for this new, WIZARDLY boylove boarding school sim? Are visions of HAWT, headboard-slamming CRAM SESSIONS with your OC and ASSISTANT PROFESSOR MICHAEL HASHIMOTO (or whoever the fuck - I don't know about any of this shit!) prancing through your GAMER DREAMS? :o Image

I'll be honest: I don't give one good ghost of a shitting fuck about the game, or its IP, or much of anything within a million miles of either. 3; I'm HOTLY awaiting tomorrow's release of ARCADE ARCHIVES THE NEW ZEALAND STORY! I feel left out - so lonely, I could die! Image I see excited cunts going "LMAO I BOUGHT IT JUST 2 SAY FAKK U SJWS" and think "cringe!"

Well, any road, I adore a good shitshow - and this has been a corker so far. With the internet's collective lower bowel reaching its brutal capacity, and both preorders (NAZIS) and boycotts (SOYCUX) at unprecedented blast pressures... the cork is just about ready to blow! Who will take a 10,000PSI jet of concentrated liquid faeces directly to the mouth? Who will remain standing - banners fluttering indomitably, in the fetid after-gust? I can't wait to see - and neither can my boss! just think of all the cash I mean death threats she'll see out of this. :cool:

Okay... you found a workbook. Not a workbook that says you need to stop teaching math, but one that reflects on the style of teaching math teachers use. And it's kinda ehh.

Meanwhile Ron DeSantis has stripped AP Black History from Florida schools, and his "anti-woke" legislation is worded so vaguely while attached to such draconian punishments that schools are just emptying their bookshelves while the legal teams attempt to find out how to navigate this new Republican censorship regime.

Image
“The Florida Department of Education has trained all Florida schools districts to ‘err on the side of caution’ in determining if a book is developmentally appropriate for student use,” DCPS said in a blog post about the decision.

The law says that all books, specifically in elementary school libraries, must be looked over by a certified media specialist who has undergone state training on the new policy.

[...]

Educators who violate this law could face a third-degree felony.
https://www.news4jax.com/news/local/202 ... ok-review/

And in case anyone is wondering what Ron DeSantis means when he describes something as "woke," this is what his attorney said when forced to define "woke" in court:
The belief there are systemic injustices in American society and the need to address them.
Do not question the systems of the state, or go to jail for crimethink, schoolteachers!

But hey, have you seen this one lady on tiktok who's kinda cringe???

Yep. Red tape and bureaucracy can be annoying, but it's better than empty bookshelves. Sure, the word problems should be carefully worded. That's why we pay people to write the materials.

Your kid may or may not agree with you. Seems like your explanation and view of the world should win on its merits alone.

Why are you afraid of a conversation, Republican boomer? Scared the kid will see the chasm between your actions and Jesus?

What style of teaching, dry and sleep-inducing? Math's fundamentally abstract nature is about as distanced as you can get from hotbutton societal issues.

If there's an endemic problem, it certainly isn't endemic to the subject matter, so tarring the field itself with that brush for the sake of weeding out wacist teachers - who could be teaching any other subject and still be an issue - is a wasteful erosion of education strata.

Bah, now I feel like I've ruined the joke by explaining it.

I have a quibble with astronomy. They immediately tell you to look at all those stars right there. Right where? There? You sure about that? Sometimes, you're right. Sometimes, not so much.

They don't correct you if you say "that star is next to that one" or "that star is X light years from that one". That's not something we can determine with our naked eye.

The light all took different amounts of time to get here. I have no fuckin idea what actually "is" there. I see light from a long time ago. The sky is littered with asynchronous echoes of the past and I have no way to observe the universe in real time.

It's actually a big deal. It also teaches something essential: the world is complicated. And, it leads into conversations about physics--and the fact that the universe's incredibly fast speed limit is still slow in this enormous space.

But, no, we're morons and we love sound bites and easy shit. Thinking is hard.

Alex Jones' text messages leaked.

It will absolutely blow your mind to learn that our virtuous hero of family values is in fact a paranoid controlling narcissist who pays an ex-Blackwater guy to stalk his wife, while he meets with his own (also married) mistress.
Spoiler
Jones and Enlow’s tracking efforts seem to take place on days that Jones himself is conducting an affair. Jones contacts Enlow to monitor Erika Wulff Jones on days when he is also in touch with a woman named “Pat Johnson,” which is the alias he entered into his phone to represent an Austin-based married woman with whom he exchanges texts of an intimate nature. (As an example, Jones texted Pat Johnson on the morning of May 11, 2020, requesting “a sucky,” apparently asking her to give him oral sex.)

Jones then starts texting his wife a little after 1 p.m.

Alex Jones to Erika Wulff, 1:11.39 p.m.:
Are you going fo get drunk today?

Erika Wulff to Alex Jones, 1:13.06 p.m.:
No

For almost an hour, from 2:39 p.m. until 3:26 p.m., Jones sends Erika Wulff Jones dozens of text messages. He accuses her of hating him and his family.

Alex Jones to Erika Wulff, 3:04.03 p.m.:
You hate is

Alex Jones to Erika Wulff, 3:04.08 p.m.:
Us

Alex Jones to Erika Wulff, 3:04.16 p.m.:
I see it in your eyes

Alex Jones to Erika Wulff, 3:04.30 p.m.:
You won’t even talk to me

Alex Jones to Erika Wulff, 3:04.37 p.m.:
Pick up now

Alex Jones to Erika Wulff, 3:06.14 p.m.:
You won’t even break away for one min to talk to me

Alex Jones to Erika Wulff, 3:06.16 p.m.:
Sick

Alex Jones to Erika Wulff, 3:06.23 p.m.:
Hope you enjoy it

Alex Jones to Erika Wulff, 3:06.32 p.m.:
You hate us

Alex Jones to Erika Wulff, 3:14.24 p.m.:
You care less

Alex Jones to Erika Wulff, 3:14.29 p.m.:
Is so sick
Or that he's really, really into cuck & multi-guy porn.
“I’m not a porn guy, I’m sorry,” Jones told his Infowars audience on March 5, 2019. “Once I’ve been in the real thing and you have a wife and you have children, it’s about life, it’s about love.”

Jones shares links to pornographic videos in the texts Hatewatch reviewed. The videos he shares have titles that indicate they likely contain the same hardcore content he derides. Many of the videos (which include in their titles words like “cuckolding” and “hot slaves,” along with a variety of explicit sex acts) feature a woman having sex with multiple men.
Of course, that's only the stuff he felt comfortable sharing.

I'm sure the wife thing won't register, but being into cuck porn is an actual cancellable offence on the right, right?

You are very kind! <3 Regretfully, I suspect I'm just a soft weenie. 3;

I caught a mouse last December. I believe he fell down our chimney to escape the freezing cold. Old trick: put peanut & chocolate in a bucket w/ ramp, mouse falls in. I walked a mile from town to a nice foresty patch - my usual routine, hence not driving - and let him run off.

You're really meant to fill the bucket with water, and smear a plastic bottle with the bait. Mouse falls in and drowns. He quite possibly found his way into another's house - maybe someone who'd have to expend time and money on an exterminator, or one he might've gotten into the food of, and made ill.

This is partially why I detest the virtue hustler set. Most of us in the pampered West are already quite the softies, where fellow mammals are concerned; swindlers attempting to weaponise this - muh [X] privilege! - just take the piss.

ofc the other part is that dehumanising/othering rhetoric is fucking dangerous, and historically leads to pogroms and rape camps, or the opportunistic equivalents of. Whether the scammers and their flocks are aware, and content, so long as they get their money/dopamine, or genuinely oblivious, considering themselves righteous - I don't think it matters. What I do know is, these sorts never seem fazed until it's their shit on the line.

I'd do the same if faced with an intruding mouse that doesn't know any better; abusing the gift of intellect to engineer an efficient small mammal death machine just doesn't sit right. Do no harm and all that :oops:
But when it comes to forms of life that do know better? No mercy.

All I wanted was a quiet Minteresque existence tinkering with oddball shareware from a comfy shack in the middle of scenic nowhere, but in comes the land of the free with its corporate machine to hammer the domain into ugly and distasteful form before I even get a crack at it. The more recent societal madness buffer overflow is just nails in the coffin.

Naturally, such anger is meaningless in the wider context of coming in long after the dice were cast re. How The World Turns, with many more storied and societally important domains getting their inevitable stomping long before mine.
Not to mention that vidya - and to a broader extent the tech that allows it to exist - has always been cutthroat as fuck compared to my idealized aspirational vision of its middle years. Such is.

Nevertheless, it chafes that the big kid on our side of the planetary playground is the schizophrenic with rich dragon parents and sociopathic tendencies.

The shining legacy of Dilbert Guy's measured and well-considered social commentary continued this week.
“I would say, based on the current way things are going, the best advice I would give to white people is to get the hell away from Black people,” the 65-year-old author exclaimed. “Just get the fuck away. Wherever you have to go, just get away. Because there’s no fixing this. This can’t be fixed.”

Reiterating that whites need to “escape,” Adams said that he had already done so by moving to an area “with a very low Black population.”
From the sounds of things, the man has needed a lengthy internet vacation for some time:
Later in the program, he again said you “just need to get away from them,” especially “those who don’t want to focus on education.” Adams followed that up by saying he’s “really sick of seeing video after video of Black Americans beating up non-Black citizens,” insisting that it’s “every damn day” he sees a clip of “some Black person beating the shit out of some white person.”
Every damn day I see a clip of some 7th-rate 90s rapper saying he was Tupac's best friend and how Pac told him the greys were going to take him away to Planet Funkotron right before he died. This is perhaps not a valid sociological indicator of anything other than the fact that J-Flexx hasn't seen a 4-figure paycheque in 25 years.

Unsurprisingly this has led to newspapers all over the place dumping Dilbert, including the Washington Post & New York Times:
Adams reacted to the new backlash on Twitter, saying he'd been cancelled. Nearly 18 minutes into his YouTube show Saturday, he predicted, "Most of my income will be gone by next week ... My reputation for the rest of my life is destroyed. You can't come back from this, am I right?
...He's already survived holocaust denial and other daring free-speech heroics, so he'll be fine. This man must be so utterly, devastatingly lonely to need attention so bad he Buster Wolfs his career in the face on a weekly basis. I will grant him one thing though:
The statement "It's OK to be white" has been repeated on right-wing websites and in speeches. The Anti-Defamation League has denounced it as a hate chant.
Slam your foot on that rake harder, ADL. Like, getting you to say that was literally page one, paragraph one of the action plan.

"Education" as some kind of magical panacea is a classic liberal excuse for blaming people for being on the bottom of society, while conveniently pretending that there doesn't need to be people on the bottom of society. It worked for them, right? Why couldn't it work for anyone?

It's a classic animal's way of looking at things: Everything good that happens to me is because I'm good and awesome. Everything bad that happens to me is because other people are bad and lame. Please completely ignore everything that was provided to me by my family and society. Please also ignore the only bad things that happen to me is people telling me I suck on the internet.

Anyway, it's a broadly applicable solution to all kinds of other people's problems:

Coal miner heading toward not being a job anymore? Learn to code.

Owners outsourced the entire manufacturing base of a city, Detroit/Camden style? Learn to code.

Desperately need food to live before getting eaten by the star wraiths? Learn to code.

Just make a cartoon that gets syndicated in the newspapers, or become a twitch superstar millionaire. EZ PZ why you no try hard?

It's just a kind of especially aggravating bullshit to me. There has to be homeless people in our system, it wouldn't function without it. And we've decided 40% of them should be black.
mices
It's amazing how quickly you get desensitized to things. Like being peed on - most people would agree that would be a suboptimal state of being. But become a nurse or have a kid, and you just kind of accept these things happen and they won't kill you and it's not really that super big of a deal.

With mice I've gone full Drago, "if he dies, he dies."

...but if they don't die I don't have the heart to finish the job. A crippled mouse is too damn sad. Better to return them to gaia to feed some bird or skunk or whatever.

Man, the before and after photos of Camden are heartbreaking. It's like the place was hit by a bomb... hundreds of bombs. How quickly things fall apart when they're not maintained...

But then, I suspect we TRVE + HONEST Hard Gaymers are not the interactive wizard bumfest's target demographic. It's been amusing either way. :o

With my shining apogee of a GCSE in Mathematics, ground out with grim purpose before a foot-to-floorboards escape for the green green pastures of Waffle & Blather LLP, I could never claim to be a lover of the art or science. :oops: Letters? LOL! Do 'em spinnin' on me knob m8! Numbers? Faaack

That said, I always regarded the fruits of that discipline - MUH VIDYA for a start :cool: - and the associated, impartial constancy with gratitude. What time is it? Excellent, thanks!

So even a barbarian like me could not help narrowing his eyes, the chew of wallmeat slowing uneasily, when this arrant shite started gaining mainstream credence in the Anglosphere, ca. 2020:

The Smithsonian apologised for the chart, apparently - but I cannot find the alleged "statement" itself anywhere. Only pages of equally cancerous bilge. Most of the sites reporting on the farce couched the public's widespread, reassuringly human opprobrium as blindly, un-entrenchedly political; ie, they replicated the casual bigotry of the chart itself, in their own fit of unchecked tribalism.

Given how zealous and generously-backed these race hustlers tend to be, I suppose there is some bleak comfort in there being any apology at all. But I can't help viewing it like one blurted by a man caught ass-fucking his neighbours' goat. How much of it is genuine remorse - a recognition of the act's vileness, and a will to combat its root pathology - versus the superficial, fleeting sting of embarrassment, the perversion smouldering ardently on?

...and the guy has a cheer squad of fellow goatfuckers at the local papers, slandering the outraged public as perpetrators of the very heterocapitalist supremacy that demonises man-goat loving.

One of my dearest mentors at UWI had a rule, with her seminars: ten minutes' grace, then that door was locked, because you weren't gonna fuck up everyone's valuable time. Harsh! But her idea was, if you can't be punctual at your cushy university, WTF are you gonna do out in the big mean world? I emailed her the chart when it dropped, and we had a good larf! She is now a Secret Nazi / Aunt Tomina, too!

“I would say, based on the current way things are going, the best advice I would give to white people is to get the hell away from Black people,” the 65-year-old author exclaimed. “Just get the fuck away. Wherever you have to go, just get away. Because there’s no fixing this. This can’t be fixed.”

Reiterating that whites need to “escape,” Adams said that he had already done so by moving to an area “with a very low Black population.”
I can't blame him too much tbh, even if his statements are patently racist. Nobody, black or white, likes being gaslit. Brother man likely felt the heat and lost his cool. 3; (or he's just a racist asshole - but even then, one given plausible deniability by the same pathogen)

Incidentally, an update on that white dude who was rammed off his bike and subsequently stabbed to death by a black dude who was screaming about "white privilege," and had a social media presence full of racist rantings: "No hate crime charges here, no siree!"

The statement "It's OK to be white" has been repeated on right-wing websites and in speeches. The Anti-Defamation League has denounced it as a hate chant.
Slam your foot on that rake harder, ADL. Like, getting you to say that was literally page one, paragraph one of the action plan.
This is what I worry about. Most people aren't bigots. They don't hate anybody, as long as nobody's hating them. However, like any animal, they will get jumpy very quickly if threatened. And if you give them an easy, no-questions-asked escape from that threat, or better yet, a means of eliminating it? A good deal of them will flock to it. None of this is new or surprising, it's Race War 101. Lots of money and power in it, for those safely outside the line of fire.

The soft Balkanisation currently underway in much of the Anglosphere is setting the stage for some truly hideous shit. At the moment, admittedly, it's just mildly exasperating and sometimes darkly hilarious. And occasionally getting people viciously murdered, ad-hoc.

It's amazing how quickly you get desensitized to things. Like being peed on - most people would agree that would be a suboptimal state of being. But become a nurse or have a kid, and you just kind of accept these things happen and they won't kill you and it's not really that super big of a deal.
I wouldn't equate being a parent to nursing tbh. Familial homieostasis is a helluva drug! Your little angel projectile-diarrhoeaing all over your bare chest? Awww! A chunky gout of black and green pus bursting from random homeless guy's lanced leg abcess? AWWWWWWWWW
