Ahhh Those Old Wounds Just Never Heal

Snowflakes

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.

Already Here

Business, Good Stuff

From this article:

“My dream is that someday employers will say, “Let’s hire anybody but a college graduate. We’ll teach him what he needs to know for our work. Check out the homeschoolers—they are a really sociable lot.” Imagine getting a fresh and intelligent young worker at age 18, rather than a stultified parrot at age 22.”

I personally know of three companies who already practice this.  All are startup technology businesses, all are incredibly successful, and not one has an HR department.  And one of the three has no female employees.  None.

Pushback

Bad News, Culture, Music, Wokism

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…

Of Course It Did

Drive Time

Here’s a situation familiar to anyone who’s ever owned a classic British sports car:

She’s a lover of vintage cars, but Kate Moss suffered a set back when her beloved blue vintage MG broke down earlier this week.  The supermodel, 47, was forced to abandon her vehicle on the side of the A361 near Burford on Wednesday.
Kate’s classic car had to be collected by a recovery truck from the grassy verge of the road, with a team of mechanics checking the inside of the car and lifting up the bonnet.

As much as I love the things, even I will acknowledge that beauty sometimes requires sacrifice in other areas.  But seriously…
…and:

I know:  they’re expensive to run and maintain, temperamental, prone to frequent breakdowns, need constant oiling and maybe even a cylinder re-sleeve.  But hey, when looked after and in the right hands… pure fun.
