News Roundup

From the Dept. of Global Cooling Climate Warming Change:


...of course they are.  As long as you can produce some, you know, proof of your assertion, you malevolent troll.


...yeah, petty reasons like escaping grinding poverty, bloody civil wars and Muslim barbarism just can’t compete.


...are we sure it’s not that pesky climate change’s fault?


...fantasy, meet reality.  Pretty, innit?

And for the next such meeting, watch this development:


...this “reimagining” will work out not as hoped for by people named Gavin Newsom, but precisely as expected by the Reality-Based Community.

And in Entertainment News:


...not that anyone can actually afford Disneyland’s prices anymore anyway.

From the Heart Of Stone Chronicles:


...okay, you can all quit that derisive laughter now.


...so to sum up:  telling the truth is now a terrorist crime?  Got it.


...which would be nice, except that then you have to live among Swiss people.


...I think Biden needs to suffer a lot more, on a more profound and elemental levelRelated:

When you ask ChatGPT to create a photo of a bitter socialist eco-warrior activist with an Ivy League degree and possible lesbian tendencies, this is probably what you’ll get:

…and…
...am I the only one who thinks that there’s so much wrong with both these situations?

And from the Dept. Of Corporate Fascism:

I Stand Corrected

I love my Readers.

In response to this little comment of mine in the last News Roundup:

From the Dept. Of “Defense”:


...if I were a donor, I’d also hold off till they rename it the “Robert E. Lee Military Institute”.

…Reader Mike S. suggests via email:

I am second to none in my respect for General Lee (I’ve a framed print of him in my library), but VMI should be renamed “Thomas J. Jackson Military Institute.”

Gen. Jackson was a professor at the Institute before the Late Unpleasantness.

Gen. Lee was a graduate and later the commandant of West Point. THAT facility should be renamed for Lee.

All good points.  However, most people (especially the Racial Grievance Industry) probably have no idea of who Thomas J. Jackson was (maybe unless “Stonewall” is included in the nomenclature), but every damn one of them knows about Marse Robert.

So historically I’m in full agreement with Reader Mike;  but in terms of social impact on the Wokists…?

It’s a tough call.
