Via The Lid comes this one:
It is incredible what political simpletons Jews are. They shut their eyes to one of the most elementary rules of life that you must not “meet halfway” those who do not want to meet you.
— Ze’ev Jabotinsky
The same admonition could be applied equally to Republicans.
From some guy, not one but four (consecutive) emails about The Pussification Of The Western Male :
re-reading your famous column and i gotta say, you’re a truly repugnant human being, and I’m glad your wife is dead.
…followed by:
i mean that from the bottom of my heart
… then:
she probably hated you
and finally:
fascist fat fuck, i hope the diabetes takes you out soon.
Back when Pussification was still freshly published, I got far worse emails, so this isn’t even decent invective.
Rough guess: age about 19, at college doing some worthless “Studies” course and could well still be a virgin. (Age revealed by lack of capitalization, level of outrage ditto.) Otherwise, it could have been written by his “Studies” professor, but the grammar is usually better in cases like that.
Also, note that he had to send me his invective across four emails — i.e. delivered in Twitter-sized bits. Dead giveaway of his age, right there.
I could publish his email so you guys could have some fun with him, but why bother? No point wasting anybody’s time on this twerp. I don’t even have diabetes.
Oh, and Mr. Burns, help yourself:
Whiny little bitch.
Here’s an interesting situation over in Britishland:
The English Touring Opera has dropped 14 white musicians in a woke drive to ‘increase diversity’ in the company. The musicians, aged 40 to 66, have been told they will not be offered contracts with the company in Spring 2022 citing diversity guidance from the Arts Council England, the Sunday Times reported.
The musicians, who officially work as freelancers, can be dropped from the opera season-on-season but many have played with the company for up to 20 years and consider it a permanent job.
Of course, this is a disgusting thing to do, but complaining doesn’t achieve anything, as any fule kno.
Here’s a thought.
I don’t have the numbers, but I’m willing to bet that this 40-66 age group would constitute a majority of the Touring Opera’s audience. So I call on all patrons in that age range to boycott their performances.
I wonder if the company’s finances could sustain the subsequent loss of income…
With all the bollocks surrounding the miracle electric cars and how they’re going to Save The Planet, etc., anyone with half a brain knows that a.) electric cars need lots of juice to run and b.) the current electricity grid — in any country — would not be able to handle the surge in demand should a country (foolishly) decide to abolish gasoline-powered cars by x date (sooner rather than later).
So how would government handle the problem? Step forward the BritGov, with a wonderful idea:
Charging points for electric cars will be preset to turn off for nine hours a day amid fears they could cause blackouts with the government pushing the switch from diesel and petrol.
From May, every new charger will automatically not function at ‘peak times’ to ease the pressure on the national grid.
There is also set to be a ‘randomised delay’ of up to 30 minutes if there is high demand from motorists.
Yeah, that’s going to get just everyone to dump their Jaguars for Priuses, won’t it?
Fucking morons.
If you publish a list of The World’s Greatest Cities, you need to ensure that your #1 pick doesn’t cause howls of incredulous laughter, coupled with snorts of irritation and open-jawed astonishment. Here’s Time Out’s list:
When did they take this survey — in 1965? Certainly, it was pre-WuFlu, except:
Good grief.
If you’re going to make a list of places to visit, try this one instead. It’s pretty much as full of shit as the first one, though.
Longtime Friend Mrs. Sorenson sends me this disturbing news via email (subject as above):
A mural designed as a tribute to shop staff who worked through the pandemic has been criticised because it “screams welcome to our white town”.
Driffield Town Council said the artwork depicted well-known personalities who worked at independent businesses.
However, some residents took to social media to point out it failed to represent anyone with disabilities or from ethnic minority backgrounds.
And yes, the mural’s personnel (actual people in the village) are whiter than my kitchen cupboards.
However, Mrs. Sor also points out the following (with supporting stats) with respect to the village’s population:
But hey… let’s not let awful stats ‘n stuff get in the way of Wokism, right?
