Screwy week already. Why are people talking about this Oprah interview? Sure the 90’s never really ended and she’s a billionaire narcissist but there has to be somebody else out there that can interview people I have no interest in?
Nice, they’re making Spaetzle on Food Network…
Internaciónal Die de los Mujeres protest in Mexico City turns violent. Relations between feminists leaders and government officials are a bit edgy as of late due to a gubernatorial candidate from the Morena party, accused of being a Cuomo. I’m sure tear gas and beatings will improve the situation.
I can’t decide if my distaste for protectionism or the drug prohibition is going to rule the day on this one:
The government has tried introducing alternative crops, like timber and fruit orchards, in poppy-growing areas, but López Obrador clearly suggested the new study was in addition to those efforts.
He said farmers in remote mountain communities in Mexico had lost income because traffickers are switching to buying fentanyl from Asia, rather than paying people to grow poppies and harvest poppy gum needed to process heroin.
“We are in the stage of analysis and reflection about what will most benefit Mexico,” he said. “There are now unparalleled conditions to do what most benefits Mexico and our people, because the current government is completely free, it is not subordinated to any foreign government.”

So since we have put in our new airspace procedures here in the Vegas Metroplex area, we have had two incidents in which two fast, large objects almost met with disastrous effect. Both involved a commercial airliner and a GA. Luckily TCAS was utilized because we would be cleaning up wreckage still.
One instance, as I watched the replay, a controller was messing around with his airspace and functions on the automation system. It will be interesting to see the outcome of that one. Another, a seasoned controller neglected to display a future handoff to a controller and it was forgotten as it transitioned airspace.
When I do the playbacks, I get to see and hear everything that happens and they were both bad. I like my counterparts, but wake the fuck up.
Spaetzle?
It’s just gnarly egg noodles, mang. (Good ones, I might add . . . )
And so very good with Schnitzel and pork gravy.
And some blaukraut on the side for good measure.
Sounds good to me. Unfortunately no one but me likes it around here. Normally, we have my mom’s German cucumber salad.
My son is starting to come around to enjoying my mother’s sauerkraut recipe though, so maybe it won’t die with me.
I try to expose my kids (now teens) to all types of foods. They have their likes and dislikes because they tasted and didn’t like, not because I didn’t like.
I hated sauerkraut until about 5 years ago. I’m old.
Try it with murgh makhani (Indian Butter Chicken). Life-changing. Basmati’s low-rent in comparison.
Whoa. That sounds awesome. Thanks.
Or with Weißwurst.
Yes.
These guys sell at the local farmer’s market. So flipping good. They’ve got a pre- or par-cooked product that you just heat in a skillet with butter.
Hmmm. And I did just buy some smoked pork chops. Guess I should go buy a red cabbage.

It seems like Bolsonaro has been much more consistent than Trump in his opposition to lockdowns and social distancing but he cannot prevail.

I’ve seen Lenny Kravitz multiple times, mostly when he had the long dreads. That guy can teach a class on how to put on a rock show.
^^ Entertain me. I know you know how to play the guitar, but can you entertain.
Also: I was at the concert where they filmed the video for “Can’t Get You Off My Mind”. The show ended, he came out and said they were filming the video, he lip synced to a few takes, then told the audience which hotel he was staying that night.
The invitation probably wasn’t meant for you.
Don’t be so hasty. TOK was probably quite the studmuffin back in the day.
As were we all, I’m sure, but I didn’t think Kravitz swung that way.
He clearly stated, “Anyone who wants to party, we’re staying at the Ritz.”
Well, were you gonna go his way?
(I know, the song is about Jesus)
Thanks, Señor!
Free the poppies, free the weed, get the fuck out of the way and let the poor people prosper.
It’s not that fucking complicated.
Lenny’s drummer? Would.
Wait, you’d fuck Philthy Phil Taylor?
…Oh, wait, you wrote Lenny’s drummer.
Never mind.
Easy mistake to make.
Pepe Le Woke.
Warner Bros. will not include Pepé Le Pew in any of its future projects amid leftist claims that the popular Looney Toons character “normalized rape culture.”
The news, first reported by the Hollywood Reporter, follows Warner Bros. cutting the French skunk’s appearance from the upcoming movie Space Jam: A New Legacy. The cut scene reportedly served as a “spoof of the 1942 classic Casablanca that features Pepe in the role of a bartender” who flirts with a woman, though he ultimately takes it too far
I think it showed how not to treat women.
Or how women can defend such crass advances. #IgrewuparapistbecauseIwatchedpepelepew
I can’t believe all your Rape apologists.
“Well, we are all dudes, so . . . {shrug}”
Can’t we just cancel French men instead?

Adam Smith is canceled.
Adam Smith’s gravesite and statue in Scotland were included in a list of monuments linked to “slavery and colonialism” by a city council review panel and could be slated for removal.
Smith, known by many as the “Father of Capitalism,” was an 18th-century philosopher and economist who authored the highly influential book, The Wealth of Nations. But now, Smith’s gravestone and statue located in the Canongate Kirkyard on Edinburgh’s Royal Mile could be removed in response to last year’s Black Lives Matter protests in the Scottish city.
A review group created in response to the protests set out to identify statues and monuments in the city with close links to slavery and would “consider all options” with those that are identified, including the “removal of statues.”
Though Smith was not a slave owner, the group justified his inclusion on the list due to the fact that he “argued that slavery was ubiquitous and inevitable but that it was not as profitable as free labour.”
Smith was the first economic philosopher to advocate for a free market system of economics, arguing that people working toward their own self-interest would more efficiently advance the public good.
The city council’s Slavery and Colonialism Legacy Review Group will now determine which identified monuments should be removed, with recommendations expected by December.
The Dark Ages are here.
Though Smith was not a slave owner, the group justified his inclusion on the list due to the fact that he “argued that slavery was ubiquitous and inevitable but that it was not as profitable as free labour.”
History seems to have borne that out.
Facts are no defense.
History is the construct of the white patriarchy that exists to keep us down everyday.
What?
This was one of the reasons why the removal of Confederate statues felt uncomfortable because the complainers bloodlust could never ever be satiated. These people have a need to always be fighting against something and will always be looking for an enemy.
Some people have way too much time on their hands.
As my wife says, “first world problems”.
All fine and dandy until you are no longer first world.

“…the complainers bloodlust could never ever be satiated. These people have a need to always be fighting against something and will always be looking for an enemy.”
Bingo.

Them’s fightin’ words.
As if we needed more proof that “Black Lives Matter” is really a Marxist front group.
All you have to do is visit their website where they explicitly say “We are a Marixist front group.”
Justified is the operative word.
” Black Lives Matter protests in the Scottish city.”
Does not compute.
Well, 0.5% of the Scottish population is black, but I’d bet that most of their BLM protesters are white (like often seems to be the case here in the much more diverse USA).
Brazil has the world’s second-highest death toll over the past year, after the United States.
“How to lie with numbers”. When I sort this chart by per capita deaths, the Czech Republic is number one. USA is number nine. Brazil is number 21.
Good song choice.
We have no idea as everyone has politicized the cootie bugs and are lying their asses off about cases and deaths.
But as long as Brazil has Brazilian Trump, them being the 6th most populous nation won’t matter when it can be touted that they have the second-highest death toll. Five of the top 10 death toll countries also happen to be in the top 10 most populous countries, but that doesn’t fit a narrative.

Capehart said, “One of the ways to get the president’s agenda passed is to do away with the filibuster rule, which would make it possible for things to get passed by a simple majority. How will you convince President Biden to go along with that tactic?”
Hirono said, “When Mitch McConnell gets his way and decides to be an obstructionist, every major bill that President Biden wants, I think there will be a growing reality and recognition that we’re going to need to do filibuster reform. And I am open to it because if we’re going to continue to require 60 votes, you can bet that Mitch McConnell is going to do everything he can to obstruct every major bill that Joe Biden wants to get done. Mitch McConnell’s goal is to retake the Senate. That is, has goals. That’s where he’s going. We Democrats should be very clear-eyed about what we need to do. So filibuster reform, yes, that will come. That’s what I believe.”
Nothing says bipartisan cooperation like ramming through shit legislation on a party-line vote and by a single vote.
Nothing says separation of powers with the Executive driving the Legislature.
Sen. Hirono (D-HI) expelled from senate 51-49 on party line vote.
//Possible headline from 2023
Now, wait a minute, that particular 2/3 rule is good for democracy!
I know the death of the filibuster is near but I hope the GOP if they ever win the Senate again, wreak havoc on the Dems and make them eat their fucking words.
I also have a bridge to sell if you are interested.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Oh, that’s a good one.
It’s hard to believe the GOP can’t come up with someone as venal and unprincipled as Chuck Schumer but here we are.
To be fair, Chuck’s like a power drunkard — the result of decades and decades of practise. If your GOP wants someone like that in the future, they’re gonna have to start grooming the youngest generation of Congresscritters and Senators starting immediately.
It’s all about the long game, doncha know.
That’s why issue number one is election “reform”. If they kill the filibuster, the GOP can actually do anything that 51 GOP Senators want. The last time the GOP had a filibuster-proof Senate majority was in the 1920s, whereas the last time the Dems had it was in 2008. The Dems are protected far more by the filibuster than the Republicans are.
It is cruel to play with my expectations that way. Xhe is such a dumb, racist and sexist piece of shit that woodchippering is too good for xir. I say let the KGB method used on double agents would be more appropriate. (Dear FBI monitor.

Thomas Sowell is canceled.
The cancel culture is apparently flirting with canceling a Thomas Sowell book.
If you go to Amazon right now and try to buy Thomas Sowell’s “The Vision of the Anointed” on Kindle you will find that you cannot do so. “The item is under review.”
That there is so far out there that even the Bee wouldn’t have dared write something like that.
What can the possible explanation be for canceling Sowell?
His hardcover and paperback versions are still available on Amazon.ca, so I have no idea what the Kindle kerfuffle is.
I would pay through the nose to watch Thomas Sowell debate the entire SJW crowd at Amazon about the merits of his book.
Vegas would be offering odds on how long it would take for one of the Amazon hacks to call him an Uncle Tom. How long before one of the Amazonians broke down in tears because of Sowell’s mean words.

I think once upon a time you could buy his books directly from his web site. What I wish is that I had a complete Sowell collection bound in leather.
Too late. I have two copies already.
I can buy it, if you need a copy let me know.
As of “right now,” Amazon Canada still shows the Kindle edition as “Under review” for some reason.

Aaaaand the U.S. Amazon website also says “Item under review” as of right now.
Ignorance vs superstition
Rudy Rosales, the director of LULAC Texas, said Abbott has put business owners and employees “in charge of their own welfare” with the announcement that he would lift mask mandates and remove capacity limits on businesses at the same time.
The Republican governor last week said “it is now time to open Texas 100%,” adding that “Texas is in a far better position now” to ease restrictions because of the increase in COVID-19 vaccinations and decrease in hospitalization rates.
But with local jurisdictions no longer having the ability to enforce face mask restrictions or fines, Texas businesses are facing the obstacle of how to keep workers safe — from both the coronavirus and furious customers — when the mandate is lifted on Wednesday.

Monica Richards, co-owner of the Houston-based Mexican restaurant, told The Washington Post that the business received hateful messages from people, including some who threatened to report employees to Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
“It was just horrific,” Richards told the Washington Post. “People don’t understand unless you’re in our business what it felt like, how hard it was to go through everything we went through during covid. For people to be negative toward us for trying to remain safe, so that this doesn’t continue to happen, just makes zero sense to us.”
Rosales told KSAT that he is “very upset” about those threats — and the possibility of further attacks that may come out of the lifting of the mandate.
“If anything, god forbid, were to happen, we would call for the governor and others to reconsider the fact that they have put, indirectly or directly … these businesses basically in charge of their own welfare,” he said. “We can’t control ignorance.”
Something something you’ve made your bed, now lie in it.
“We can’t control ignorance.” That is all pig, that is all.
Not nearly as terrifying as “these businesses basically in charge of their own welfare”
The horror, the horror.
the business received hateful messages from people

I went to the grocery store earlier. There were a few other customers and at least one employee unmasked. When I got to the checkout, the cashier said, “You can’t wear a mask, right?”

Of all this bullshit in the stimulus packages, this enrages me the most.
I have read numerous articles about how this new stimulus is so much better because it doesn’t have to be spent on people, it can be used to make up for state budget shortfalls. How great is that?!
So Minnesota doesn’t have a budget, but still gets to throw that money into its coffers. And Minnesoda didn’t cut any jobs to get that surplus so all our new found extra money will do is create new programs that need to be funded forever.
Biden voters and TDS sufferers have no idea what they have done.
Because Trump would have got spending under control?
Who? What’s that got to do with anything. Someone else fucked up so we can now fuck up with impunity?
Someone else committed a theft so that makes theft ok?
You brought up Biden voters and TDS in regards to a article about spending ourselves in to oblivion, I assumed you meant that had people just voted for Trump instead of Biden we wouldn’t be spending ourselves into oblivion. So I showed that Trump was spending us into oblivion. Granted, I did assume your meaning so that’s on me, but enlighten me, what exactly did you mean if not that?
I was pleased with much of what Trump did but I was deeply disappointed in Trump’s spending. What I meant was that the Dems are doing everything wrong whereas Trump got some things right. So far this administration is a complete disaster. I should have been more explicit. I wasn’t referring only to the issue of money.
Getting some things right is saying a lot when it comes to politicians.

A 13-year-old Muslim student in France has admitted that she fabricated the story that lead to a school teacher being beheaded last year.
The student claimed that her teacher Samuel Paty had showed an image of Muhammed during a lesson on free speech, which he had asked the Muslim students to leave the room for.
Once her tall tale made it online, an outrage mob ensued and the teacher began to receive death threats.
“She lied because she felt trapped in a spiral because her classmates had asked her to be a spokesperson,” her lawyer Mbeko Tabula said, according to a report from the Daily Mail.
The teacher was beheaded in the street in the town of Conflans-Sainte-Honorine by an 18-year-old Chechen terrorist.
The student has been charged with slander, but her father and an Islamist preacher have been charged with being complicit in the murder.

WAPO: Biden stimulus showers money on Americans, sharply cutting poverty and favoring individuals over businesses
Hasn’t even officially passed yet but has already cut poverty.
The latest stimulus will reduce poverty by a third, lifting nearly 13 million Americans out of it, according to an analysis by Columbia University’s Center on Poverty and Social Policy. Black Americans, Hispanic Americans and poor families with children are set to benefit the most. Child poverty would be reduced by more than half, the researchers predict.
The magnitude of aid, especially combined with last year’s relief, is much greater than the U.S. government has responded to other economic crises. The response to the Great Recession was about $1.8 trillion over several years and the most optimistic estimates are that about 6 million Americans were kept out of poverty in 2009 because of efforts by Congress at the time.
Do they link to the study? It is paywalled.
Another “analysis.” Any bets on how many computer models were involved?
Whatever happened to “without evidence”?
WaPo is an alternative spelling for ‘complete horseshit’
How in the fuckity fuck do they stay in business?
It is a complete impossibility that this welfare money will lift a single person out of poverty. The government does not count welfare payments or tax rebates in its calculations as money earned. That’s one reason the poverty rate has remained pretty much the same for decades.
SHHHHH you will ruin the propaganda! /WAPO, CNN, NYT
The Bro is NOT pleased. Work promised a promotion with a pay bump. Pay bump is now off the table because of new wage guidelines, but I can still get a new title with new responsibilities. Like a sucker.

Now I have to get back to making snarky comments.
*mic drop*
Yes, which is why you didn’t get the raise.
Sorry, dude.
⬆
Why do they think you would want that?
It’s not my supervisor or even their supervisor. But essentially HR won’t approve a bay bump for that position anymore. Which begs the question as to why the position still exists.
So you’re not getting $15/hr??? That sucks.

Idiot girl; only the sons and grandsons of a Pribve of Wales (Charles, first born son of the Monarch) and his sons William and Harry (and William’s sons George and whatever the youngest is) get to be princes. The rest are automatically Earls and might get elevated to Duke if the sovereign chooses.
That’s been the written law or “letters patent” for longer than Meghan has been around.
She even said he’s the only prince “of color” (barf) and they won’t let him be a prince!! Whaaaaaah!
Watching the British Royals implode makes me snicker. There is a good reason we shot as many of them as we could and sent the rest packing.
What I find amusing now is that an American married into the Royals without apparently doing a cursory Google search to see how the laws and traditions work, then gets all bent out of shape that she isn’t getting to play dress up process all the time.
I forgot that she is American. Good. She needs to keep pissing in their cornflakes.

He ain’t wrong
Did you watch the Carlin video?
Tundra your avatar builds rage in me cause I had a Chiefs jersey, given to me on my 18th b-day that was tossed out by my no good, druggie ex wife; along with every jersey I owned and played in since I was 10. Where is my scotch.
Sorry, OBE.
Life lessons suck. At least you got a better wife out of the deal!
Such is life. I think I need to watch Slapshot tonight. What a great movie.
She stole it.
Well make my day sadder BP…what a downer.
Yeah, but you have Slapshot to watch tonight.
And if you buy more booze, well… booze!
One day Ill be able to say “Ill never smoke weed with BakedPenguin again”
Well, you can always say it, man.
We’ll see it if you miss out on the purple Kush, dude. Purple. Purple.
If I was wrong, OBE, my apologies.
I don’t have Slapshot (though it’s a great movie) on DVD or streaming, but I do have the original Westworld (not the TV show) and the entire series of Veep.
And I have plenty of booze for the night.
Nah I am just typing away. There is not much in this world that brings me down anymore.
No one has pointed out the absurdity of FB selling Amazon? Shouldn’t Bezos be selling that?
Great article earlier Ozy. Didn’t see you mention it, but the marine squad did just get formally updated with the assistant squad leader and the new drone operator spot.
MTOE is also an interesting concept. At my previous reserve unit, we had 7 formal Battalion size units spread across the country, but only 3 full sets of TOE (deployable equipment sets) all in one massive warehouse that would need to get shipped out. Not sure what we would do when the “balloon goes up” – whether renting equipment at the overseas location[s] or just “making do”, etc.
Also….the world is a big place….if all our ships stayed in US homeports until they were needed…that could lead to a lot more issues. Having carrier groups and Amphibious groups afloat does add flexibility for decisionmakers – for a price. A lot of tradeoffs in the big picture.
I am okay with Navies
We defend the trades
How very constitutional of you.
“Off with his ‘ead!”
The carrier Admirals are as out of step as the battleship Admirals were before WWII.
They won’t accept the fact that carriers are huge floating targets that can be taken out by swarms of cheap drones and/or missiles. I agree that they are very good at projecting force when not actually at war. The problem is that as soon as a real war starts in the South China Sea, the CCP is going to sink them in the first half hour by sending waves and waves of guided missiles at them.
Maybe I’ll be wrong. Maybe our defense technology is way better than I think it is.
Things are changing, but it’s very hard to put a price on access to 4 square acres of US sovereign territory wherever you need it worldwide. That capability and functionality (esp nuclear fueled) is extremely valuable.
I’m concerned about a lot of the new ASCMs as well (focus where I work), but we haven’t yet seen a real full-scale scenario play out either.
To be fair, I also think that drones will make fighter pilots obsolete.
When WWII started, no one had seen a real full-scale scenario with air craft carriers play out. The battleship admirals didn’t want to even think about a new way of war where battle wagons were basically there to support invading Marines.
Dan Carlin had a pod cast where he talks about how admirals remember ships that they served on as midshipmen and just can’t bring themselves to admit that they are now obsolete. Human nature.
Like I said, I agree that before a full scale war breaks out, carriers are awesome at projecting power. At some point though, when your adversary decides to go all in, I’m worried about their survivability.
It is in an interesting thing to think about. My worry is that the Pentagon is worrying about their diversity and equity presentations far more than figuring out how carriers can survive in the next war.
As opposed to non-square acres?
Aren’t acres generally rectangular?
Dunno about other places, but in rural Alberta, a “section” is 640 acres, which is contained in a square of land 1 x 1 miles (surrounded on all four sides [usually] by an access road of gravel), further subdivided into “quarter-sections” (½ x ½ miles, or 160 acres) and then finally into 40-acre-plots (of “40 acres and a mule” fame, and sometimes referred to as a “homestead”), and on a map, they all look pretty square to me.
???
Right, 40 acres are square, but since 40 isn’t a perfect square, it implies that an acre isn’t either.
They don’t have to be. An acre is a unit of area (43,560 square feet), not length. You can have a circle that’s one acre, with a radius of about 117′ 9″.
Circles tesselate for shit.
Sure, but the point is that plots of land can be any shape, and are still measured in acres.
Can, but it’s not a good way to get regular divisions.
A square mile is 640 acres, which can be divided in to four squares of 160 acres each
Which can be divided into four squares of 40 acres each
Which can be divided into four squares of 10 acres each.
And then you divide it into ten 1 acre plots of 1/16 x 1/40 of a mile.
The plot our house is on has a protrusion so that the driveway can meet the road, and there’s at least one other property on the road that has a similar protrusion.
Our woodlot runs down the hill to the creek, so the boundary along the creek is definitely not straight.
And the state land boundary has some decidedly non-90° angles.
We hit 59 today, so I hit the Disc course after work, 2 groups were already playing, and then I met the Parks director. After some discussion, I will be helping build our new, 18 hole course at the big park, being an Ambassador for the sport opens doors, and it’s great fun,

Yesterday I was putting groceries in my jeep when I heard ‘click click click’. A very feeble old man and his wife were trying to start their car but the battery was dead. More likely the battery connections were corroded.
“Sir, if you will give me one minute to finish here I have some cables and I will jump you off.”
He seemed surprised that anyone would step up like that.
I never go anywhere without a pistol, a fire extinguisher and jumper cables. That reminds me, I need to put the first aid kit back in the car.
I roll with a MI survival kit at all times, tow strap, cables, 7 day survival food, it’s then that you can help others, I do it whenever I can,
You are doing shit-lord incorrectly. You are to scoff at the man and hit on his wife.
People genuinely are surprised when you stop and help, not for money or praise, just to help out your fellow man cause, well, we have all been there.
“…we have all been there…”
Exactly. More than a few times. I know how inconvenient and frustrating it can be and what a relief it is when someone steps up and tows you out of the mud or jumps your dead battery.
And Thanks Suthen, good to that from you,

For all you Osterholmies out there.
Freak. He’s been Chicken Littling for 30 years.
Some people prefer to wear the scent of burning martyr to embracing an actual solution.
What a sad sad existence. With his knowledge as being an epidemiologist, you would think he would understand the likelihood (or unlikelihood) of contracting any virus.
Well, if your focus is on all the diseases out there and what the worse-case scenarios can be, I can see how you can get a bit nervous.
I actually know a Ph.D. in Epidemiology, and nothing could be further from the truth. They’re statisticians more than anything else, with no special expertise in most of the epidemic phenomena they study and attempt to model.
And still ZERO discussion of obesity/vitamin D/Type 2.
Dude, the Karens can badger us into wearing masks.
No way that even they can force us chubbies into eating right, getting outside and losing weight.
On the contrary, we must close gyms and prevent people from walking outside briskly without masks.

He spent a ton of time working for the Minnesoda Dept of Health screaming about the coming pandemic. He was always running to the press and telling them that the state was going to rue the day they didn’t give him more money to prepare for the next pandemic. They finally put him out to pasture and he ended up working for the U of M-Duluth (not even the big prestigious campus).
Then when there was finally a pandemic, it was a) not as lethal as the ones he predicted and b) (worst of all) was during a GOP administration so he had to watch while Fauci got all the screen time. That had to kill him. Now with Biden, he finally has a chance to get some of that media time and he isn’t going to waste his chance. Nope, he is all in on more panic pr0n.
The true believers are worse than hypocrites.
I hope he put some stabilizer in his fuel tank.
I hear sugar is a environmentally conscious alternative.
I wish all of these assholes would shut up and crawl back under their beds.
a provision that states and local governments, as well as tribal governments, can use the new federal dollars to make up for lost revenue from the recession caused by the pandemic.
This is so infuriating. The recession was caused by the government, based on nonsensical computer models produced by “public health experts”.
Nice journalism there, Lou. Osterholm made that prediction in mid February. Since he made the prediction all trends have been going down. But I’m sure he will be right this time.
Uffda, that was a pile on to my previous link to Dr Doom’s hagiography.
Ah, he must be the source of all the “4th wave” talk I heard on the news today.

Not really the point of the snark, but you do you Hype
Yep
There’s no contradiction in believing in property rights and also criticizing the cowards and fucking commies canceling works that are decades old at the instigation of the woke mob. The suggestion is one of the dumber arguments put forth by The Hyperbole. Which is saying something.
What got canceled?
Why ask a question when you could just get to whatever inane point you are going to try and make? The woke mob bitched about Dr. Seuss for years, Dr. Seuss’ estate caved and stopped printing certain books. Disney is restricting access to certain older cartoons which already had ridiculous content warnings before hand.
Those are the two topics you picked for your little meme.
So nothing has been canceled?
Yes. Yes things have been canceled. I don’t know how you are trying to define canceled, but stopping the printing of books would qualify for everyone else here.
I believe you have every right to shit in your living room.
I also think you’re disgusting for doing so.
These statements are not in conflict in any way.
Hey, Buddy! Stop doing that.
I mean, for heaven’s sake, at least put a vent fan in there!
Literally binary thinking.
At a base level, you are right. Ish…
All of those actors involved; the Seuss estate, eBay are deciding to end the sales of something in a way that they have agency in. This is a business decision that happens every day with all sorts of products, so nothing special there. But, at the same time, there is, via social media, a serious attempt to force the market to remove said objects from everyone’s view. And that is the very definition of canceling. Which is not a business decision, but an attempt at a moral decision. Which is the heart of the matter here.
“ish” good enough for me, going in the book.

30+ years and they finally make a discovery. Mighty fine police work, Lou.
There’s got to be more to this story. A family with a missing kid usually pesters the hell out of the cops, for years, to find the kid. Upon finding the body after three years, the cops would be going back over missing person cases to try to find a connection. Wasn’t it possible to do dna thirty years ago? In any case, maybe dental work or identification of the clothing would help.

“Los Angeles teachers have been warned to not share spring break vacation photos on social media as their union continues to hold out on returning to in-person learning a year into the pandemic amid negotiations with the school district.
“A leaked screenshot from a private Facebook group called UTLA FB Group – Members Only, which has about 5,700 members, displays a note that reads: ‘Friendly reminder: If you are planning any trips for Spring Break, please keep it off of Social Media. It is hard to argue that it is unsafe for in-person instruction, if parents and the public see vacation photos and international travel.'”

Ok, I looked it up. The Matrix was not directed by a woman.
The The Wachowski brothers both transitioned…though much later than when the Matrix was directed.
Deadnaming!
The Matrix was directed by two brothers.
One transitioned some years back well after the movie was made. They’re a tranny.
The Wachowski brothers became the Wachowski sisters.
Not kidding…
A very ugly woman
No, a dude in a dress.
“She sounds hideous.”
“Well, she’s a dude, so . . . “
Splain to me why I should give two fucks the gender of the person who directs a movie? Whether I like it or not, what in the wide world of fuck does that have to do with anygotdamnt thing about anything? I don’t even care if they transitioned to Boston Terriers why should I care?
^This^
The movies were entertaining. That is as far as my concern goes.
Some tranny screaming “Look at me! Look at me!” is less interesting than chewing cardboard.
As a matter of fact the reason I like the movies is because it is an exploration of Descartes evil genius thought experiment. It is one of the few relatively original film projects in recent history. The last thing we need is another remake of Spiderman. I am going to puke if they put out another comic book movie.
