In which we’re having a GLOBAL PANDEMIC, guys. In case you haven’t had time to stay caught up, here’s a quick pandemic data dump. Oregon governor today bans dine-in, gatherings over 25 https://www.oregonlive.com/coronavirus/2020/03/amid-coronavirus-oregon-will-not-yet-impose-curfew-on-restaurants-and-bars-gov-kate-brown-declares.html Multiple states following CDC recs (the dumbass White House: ‘fake news’) https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2020/03/15/coronavirus-bars-restaurants-closed-states/5055634002/ Even fuckin’ Vegas is closing tomorrow?! https://vegas.eater.com/2020/3/15/21181058/mgm-resorts-closes-vegas-properties-march-16 Overview: – […]
In which a man suggests that women and men are, in fact, different. And gets fired for it. Isn’t there evidence that males tend to cluster, intellectually, more toward genius or idiocy, whereas females tend to cluster toward average? If so, this means that while there are, of course, both genius and idiot women, it […]
In which there’s a clarification. In case you don’t know, internet parlance uses “jew” to mean the 1% far more often than the race. It’s extreme stereotyping parody. Is it still racism, to hyper-attenuate a quality typically associated with a particular race and use that word to mean certain financial activities? Is all stereotyping racism?
There’s still a blogosphere, sorta. Entirely by accident — I was looking for recipes for leftover fried fish — I found a blog written by a middle aged white woman. I read a couple of her posts (one entirely about a jacket; another, about internet anxiety and unfriending people on Facebook and not really using […]
In which it’s so political out there that it’s just better if I bitch here, where nobody but, like, five people and a couple of bots will ever see it. This article just showed up in my timeline. Being a woman, I clicked on it. https://goodmenproject.com/featured-content/the-reality-that-all-women-experience-that-men-dont-know-about-kelly-jrmk/ Oh. My. Fucking. GOD. Don’t click through. It’s awful. […]
In which I go off on victimhood mentality as displayed by a member of a privileged* class. I just read a huge, long, 40-post tweetfest freakout about “sexual assault.” The writer claims that she got licked on the cleavage in a hotel bar. She’d gone merely to collect a fork, with which to eat her […]
In which there’s some perspective. Oil is in everything. Oil is in every single thing you ever use, touch, or buy. How does food get to the store or farmer’s market? In trucks that are running on gas. How do you carry your food home? In plastic bags. How do you store your leftovers? In […]
In which I’m ranting about “rape culture” yet again. Rape culture doesn’t exist. No matter how many articles you see about it, it still doesn’t exist. There was a national hysteria in the 80’s about an underground ring of satanic day care centers, where American children were being sodomized by the thousands. That didn’t exist […]
In which I talk about the news. Was told by WaPo via popup that I’d already viewed my allotment of free stories for the month, and was invited to give them a hundred bucks per year. Instead, I switched to another device and read the story anyway, and they got no money. (I sometimes subscribe […]
In which I go off on stuff that has nothing to do with me and about which I know nothing! Because it’s the internet! A guy from Tor has recently been accused of rape. He had to resign. (I don’t know him, I’ve never chatted with him, but people who do and have say he’s […]
