A Black man was caught peeing on a White couple's side door. When they confronted him to stop he charged them with a knife.
Where's the CBS interview?
Where's the doxxing campaign?
Where's the round-the-clock TV coverage?
Where's the civil rights investigation?
Where are the activists and professors calling it a hate crime?
Where's the media trying to ruin his family's business?
Where's the congressional hearing?
Where are the politicians disavowing him?
Where's the demand for a national conversation?

Some personal news:
Yesterday was my last day at Microsoft.
Today, I started a brand new job at the FAA and things are going pretty well!

When Kavanaugh was nominated to SCOTUS:
-Judy Munro-Leighton (an activist from CA) sent an anonymous letter to Senator Kamala Harris alleging that he’d gang-raped her in a car, but then was identified as the letter’s author & explicitly admitted that she made the whole thing up for attention & to derail his nomination
-Julie Swetnick filed a sworn statement alleging that he orchestrated gang-rape drug parties, but was then similarly found to have made up the whole thing
-Deborah Ramirez told The New Yorker that he’d exposed himself while intoxicated at one Yale party (oh no so terrible!!!) but then admitted that she wasn’t sure, she was extremely intoxicated when it happened, it was decades ago, nobody else who could’ve witnessed it thought that sounded at all like Kavanaugh, & actually it was probably someone else
-“Doctor” Christine Blasey-Ford claimed he once playfully wrestled her onto a bed at a house party in front of others, fully dressed, then walked away, & that this allegation was very serious or something, like basically rape, & it was so traumatizing that she couldn’t even decide what month it happened in, & the supposedly corroborating witnesses she named actually couldn’t corroborate it at all (also decades ago Kavanaugh’s mom presided over a foreclosure case against Blasey-Ford’s parents, & even ruled in their favor)
Of course, everybody on the left & half the people on the right kowtowed to this obvious libel & wanted to give up one of our SCOTUS spots to crazy woke liars just bc they eg stormed the Capitol to disrupt official proceedings (far more than Jan 6th ever did) & got let off with slaps on the wrist. Luckily Trump was able to get everyone with a modicum of spine & sanity to ignore this & keep trucking. & eventually non-leftoids admitted that it was a fake slanderous moral panic & claimed that they learned their lesson & wouldn’t be cucked into pretending to believe salacious leftist conspiracy theories again. & yet…
Many such cases btw. Same goes for E Jean Carroll, Stormy Daniels, the “pee tape,” the Hollywood Access tape, the 2016 Katie Johnson hoax about Epstein & Trump by Norm Lubow of the Jerry Springer Show, the Weinstein moral panic, the Sulkowicz moral panic, & all the current Epstein stuff.
Whenever you add in one drop of sexuality to any political hitjob, half of the “conservative” set feel too awkward to do anything but grovel & mewl for woketard feminist ops. It just keeps happening! Nobody ever learns—bc it’s not about intellectual errors (nobody would ever come to believe any of this hysterical BS for intellectual reasons), but a strange mix of addiction to titillation & fear of being sexual beings. “Oh no did you hear about how ravaged that one whore allegedly was by extra terrestrials, I’d never do such things, therefore we have to let her tell us who to put on the Supreme Court or whatever”

“I fell in love with the Beatles' music (and simultaneously, of course, with their four faces-cum-personae) along with my children, two girls and a boy, in whom I discovered the frabjous falsetto shriek-cum-croon, the ineluctable beat, the flawless intonation, the utterly fresh lyrics, the Schubert-like flow of musical invention and the Fuck-You coolness of these Four Horsemen of Our Apocalypse, on the Ed Sullivan Show of 1964. Together we saw it, The Vision, in our inevitably different ways (I was forty-six!), but we saw the same Vision, and heard the same Dawn-Bird, Elephant-Trump, Fanfare of the Future . . .
“The notes healed, the words teased; or perhaps it was vice versa. But something teased, and something healed, year after year, Rigby after Rigby, Paperback after Norwegian . . .
"Meanwhile, there was a slim volume of pure verbal genius by a new author called John Lennon: In His Own Write. If this weren’t enough to rhapsodize upon, there were the notes (and the sylph-siren voice) of one McCartney. These two made a pair embodying creativity mostly unmatched during that fateful decade . . . John and Paul, Saints John and Paul, were, and made, and aureoled and beatified and eternalized the concept that shall always be known, remembered and deeply loved as The Beatles. To me, they were the best songwriters since Gershwin.
“And yet, the two were merely something, the four were It. The interdependence was astonishing, and in some ways appalling; do we really need all this to sustain us When We’re 64? Well, today I am almost 64, and three bars of 'A Day In The Life' still sustain me, rejuvenate me, inflame my senses and sensibilities.
“The Beatles are no more. But this week I am still jumping, weeping, remembering a good epoch, a golden decade, a fine time, a fine time . . .”

Michkov pre-draft (ya, lets trade Nazar for him!)
-Described as cocky, entitled, immature, “kind of an asshole,” or not the nicest person.
-getting frustrated with and calling out older KHL teammates for not passing him the puck
-Capitals scout Andrei Nikolishin publicly said Michkov had fallen low in the eyes of scouts and managers due to his attitude toward teammates, coaches, management, and fans, and that he had experienced unprecedented disrespect when trying to arrange a meeting/interview
-non-elite skating -not elite in passing -not viewed as a strong 2-way -showed tunnel vision or tried to do too much on his own -slow in reads/decisions and overly reliant on space

SHAME: The U.N. General Assembly by 144 votes just elected Iran's Islamic Regime to the Committee for Program and Coordination, which shapes priorities on Women’s Rights, Disarmament & Counter-Terrorism. Disgraceful reward for a regime that massacred tens of thousands of people.

Listen, Israel is not the Palestinians customer service hotline. If you have complaints, direct it at Hamas.

This video is a stark reminder that the biggest threat to US national progress is not some adversary like China or Russia
It is literally people at the bottom decile of the IQ range holding back the other 90% from moving forward
You are only as strong as your weakest link is just as true at the national level, as it is in small teams within startups or organizations

The Ole Miss students who were allegedly "targets of a racial incident" were told immediately after the incident that it was not targeted and that it was done to four other doors.
"One girl was apologizing. She was like, I'm sorry, we did that to like 4 doors..."
One of the girls on the camera has apologized publicly and said she had "never met the women involved and was unaware of their race."

"I love to rock, I really do, it’s ultimately my favorite thing to do but I think you also need a balance as a songwriter. I saw that with the Beatles. They could rock really hard and they could also do ballads and cover both ends, and that’s what I wanted to do.
"They were a performing band, you know. You could tell that they were very, very comfortable performing and they really enjoyed doing it. [But] the one factor that stands out and makes them historic and makes them last is the creativity. Just the song structures, the chords, the way they are so unusual, and so pleasing. The chords to their songs are so intricate and different.
"They just got better and better. I remember being in Chicago in a parking lot when I heard 'Hey Jude.' And it was like, quit hitting me over the head with how great you are. I’m getting exhausted, you know? [laughs] When I heard 'Hey Jude,' it was like, 'you can’t keep getting this much better!'
"It was staggering. The creative surprises just kept coming, and that’s what made them so fascinating to me."

Kuwait expelled 300,000 Palestinians in 1991.
No UN emergency sessions. No protests. No global outrage.
It was never about Palestinians.
It was always about hating Jews.
Who posts such things after blocking.
🤣 “Incel” is literally just a dehumanizing slur you use for any men you don’t like. Someone like you really loves dehumanizing slurs. So we know right off the bat you’re a hateful, terrible person. Obviously we’re not gonna take seriously the rest of your fake-moralizing routine

Read the thread up and down and laugh when she tries to say she isn't against boys, in general, just boys today.
Chicken and egg. I was a voracious "boy" reader and male reader later. I rode bikes, camped in the outdoors, played every sport, drove too fast, drank beer and more, played video games and was very much into literature, and many other genres, tending away from the likes of Sci-fi. Pre Sci-fi Margaret Atwood was probably my favorite author.
In the 21st century I've felt myself forced into the narrowing constraints of exploring detective noir, regional noir and historical novels. Donna Tartt seems to stand alone as a genius literary author that isn't narrowly agenda centric. In fairness maybe 2 or 3 other novels recommended by literary friends over 2 decades. Also Kazuo Ishiguro’s Never Let Me Go, but it was so so profoundly sad it's hard to count it.
FU and your condescending posts.

This is the Savannah Bananas for people that live in cities.
The triangle has entered the Angine de Poitrine universe
During their sold-out show at Toronto’s HISTORY last night, the duo of Klek and Khn welcomed a mysterious third musician to the stage—with a new costume and a triangle in hand.
After a suitably ceremonial introduction, the mysterious guest bowed to the duo and kicked off an unreleased song with a single strike before getting busier as the track unfolded.
No confirmed name for the player or title for the song yet, but the triangle audition seems to have gone well.

A statistic that sounds fake but isn't: Not one single white American man born after 1984 has published a work of literary fiction in The New Yorker.
It's not because they stopped writing. It's because The New Yorker has refused to publish them. The publishing industry has blacked out a generation of male writers & then they wonder why boys don't read.
About 70% of publishing professionals are women.
Because agents and editors tend to select books they personally relate to, an increasing number of male authors are being sidelined in the publishing industry, resulting in an overwhelming number of female protagonists on our shelves—and a dearth of male ones.
No wonder young men are no longer reading.

Hearing the contempt adult women have for 3rd-grade boys simply because they enjoyed an award-winning children's book really makes you wonder what the male youth of this era are actually going through in school and how their futures are being altered because of that treatment.
