An inquisitive Reader asks me: “In your original post about Train Smash Women, you had all sorts of good things to say about Lisa Appleton. But you haven’t posted anything about her recently. Why not?”
Well, apparently she’s toned down her act somewhat:
…and taken up yoga:
But she has done the lip-filler thing, so the Bad Decisions keep on coming.
Quite disappointing, really. Still, there’s always Britney to look forward to.
According to a host of doctors — i.e. real doctors treating actual patients, not charlatans in wizard hats preening in front of the media assholes — these are the ailments most associated with the flu-like Omigodicron virus:
As I said: flu-like.
Now before anyone gets all panicky and starts fleeing to the hospital, let me stress that all the above are not mild symptoms (such as can be associated with the normal aches and pains of age, e.g. as experienced by me and my Readers — average age about 95).
No, we’re talking about the above as incapacitating symptoms: “can’t get out of bed” fatigue, night sweats which drench the bedclothes for days on end, a scratchy throat which makes it difficult to swallow, body aches which render any kind of movement difficult if not almost impossible, etc. In other words, extreme symptoms. (Kinda like ordinary seasonal flu, but on Barry Bonds-level steroids.)
If you are experiencing (or in the current revolting medico-speak, “presenting with”) many or all of these symptoms, then yes, you may indeed have the Omigoditron bug, and you might want to seek medical assistance, especially if you’re being treated for the usual age-related ailments. (If you’re a youngin in good health, take two aspirins and get on with your life.)
Remember, however, that Dr. Kim is not a real doctor, doesn’t even play one on TV like Ebenezer Fauci, and that all his “advice” should be taken with a metric tonne of salt.
But all that said (and the hospitalization/mortality numbers seem to bear me out), this Grandson of Wuflu does not seem to be that big a deal — more people are likely to die of influenza this winter than from any of the Covids, and most certainly more than from the new kid on the block.
YMMV, but I think the mild Omigodicron Covid variant is going to end up being the vaccine against itself, and life will soon be able to totter along on its normal uncertain path.
I note that the annual diet-scolding known as “Veganuary” has already begun. Ah don’ theenk so, Lucy.
And for a little variation:
Time for some brekkie:
See? I can do veggies too.
Adding stupidity to enmity, we have this priceless pearl of wisdom:
“Israel is a racist European ethnostate built on stolen land from its indigenous population!”
Let’s take this little sentiment apart, shall we?
If we’re talking Israelis and Arabs, it can’t be “racist”, you flaming asshole, because both Israelis and Arabs are of the same race, i.e. Semitic. It’s like a Londoner being accused of racism for calling a Liverpudlian a “fucking Scouser” — they’re the same people.
If your hostility is directed towards the concept of an “ethnostate”, then yes, Israel is by definition an ethnostate — Jewish — as are all the -stans: Pakistan, Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Iran, Iraq, etc. — all Muslim. (Also, Arabs and Christians may live and practice their religion in Israel — unlike the reverse in any Muslim nation.)
And the Jews are “European” only in recent historical terms — having had their land stolen from them by Romans and Arabs, and forced to flee north into Europe, a.k.a the Diaspora. In terms of heredity, they’re as European as, say, Pakistanis living in London.
We brushed on the “stolen land” concept above, but the continuing fallacy of Jews having pushed Arabs out of Palestine is nonsense — Jews have lived in Palestine for thousands of years, and have just as much if not more right to the land than the scattered Arab tribes (indigenous, my ass) in the area. You may as well say that the Jews stole the land from the Hittites while you’re about it. (Speaking of Palestine: there’s no such thing as “Palestinian” — they’re Arabs.)
Finally, it should be known that this asswipe, Hussain Altamimi, is a legislative assistant to Rep. Ocasio-Cortez (Soc, NY), and it’s small wonder that he’s found a happy home there, she being of the same anti-Semitic persuasion as he, the Commie bitch.
It’s the first Monday of the New Year!
Try to contain your excitement.
Anyway, some New Year’s thoughts:
And some fresh smut for the new year:
Guns and scantily-clad women: that should set the proper tone for 2022…
From The Englishman, a correction to my New Year’s Eve greetings post for the Brits:
“Please note it wasn’t the “Brits” but only the English who were allowed to party together with their Celtic neighbours who escaped. I hear Bristol was very full last night.”
It took me nearly two decades to stop referring to all inhabitants of the British Isles as “English” or “Englishmen”, and now that I’ve finally got that straight, it appears that I’ve gone and fucked it up again.
Sigh.
