In any Train Smash Women competition, the race is only for second place if Strine women are included, and this year’s Melbourne Cup was no exception:
As the inimitable Mr. Free Market once put it: “Dear God. No wonder Australian men drink so much.”
No man should. But some do:
Via Insty, I see that another teacher at the same school has been canned for her side gig:
A second teacher at a small Missouri high school has landed in hot water for supplementing her income by peddling porn on OnlyFans — after a student slipped a note under her classroom door that they “knew her secret,” according to a report.
Megan Gaither, 31, an English teacher and varsity cheerleading coach at St. Clair High School, told the Post-Dispatch that she was put on leave Friday after her X-rated moonlighting job was revealed.
Gaither said she joined the subscription-based site in May to help pay back more than $125,000 in student loans. Her total pay last year, including a coaching stipend, was about $47,500, the paper reported.
Her colleague Brianna Coppage, a former freshman and sophomore English teacher at the school, recently resigned to devote all her time to porn after she was placed on leave when it was revealed she was running an OnlyFans page with her husband.
It’s only fans fair to see what all the fuss is about:
I know: cue the “They didn’t look like that back in the day when I was using a quill to write on papyrus!” wails.
My question is of a different nature. How the hell did she expect to pay back $125,000 in student loans on a teacher’s salary anyway? (Corollary: what kind of non-medical / legal degree ends up costing well over a hundred grand?)
Look, I’m no prude, but I am a realist. The appearance of subscriber sites like OnlyFans has given women a non-academic economic opportunity. Low up-front cost (a camera, access to a streaming outlet) and away we go.
Granted, one needs to have a fairly relaxed set of morals and (perhaps) a willing partner (or two, if we’re going to get really adventurous). But given the apparent lack of modesty and morality among young women today, that doesn’t seem to be much of a problem.
And being even more realistic, an OnlyFans gig is a million times safer than other prostitution options, which involve walking the streets and being at risk from all those Green River Killer wannabes, not to mention the chances of being abducted and sold to some Arab in a Gulf state.
At least we have equal opportunity here, among women anyway. Unlike a “straight” movie career, looks aren’t that important because, let’s face it, there are no limits to male depravity — okay, male tastes — in this kind of thing. Even someone who looks like Hillary Clinton will find a willing (and paying) audience in the “GILF” world.
Sorry about that, but you get my point. Even the most hardened, tattooed and pierced chick is going to be guaranteed an audience that is not confined to still pics on hotbikerbabes.com; in fact, that seems to be a positive advantage.
Anyway, before this post turns into a treatise, I deplore the fact that people who are supposedly “educating” our kids academically are in fact giving them another kind of education altogether. Witness the fact that somehow, the little sneaks in the above article seemed to have had no problem in not only finding and identifying Teacher Dearest on OnlyFans — a whole ‘nother topic all by itself: what the fuck were teenage boys doing on OnlyFans? where did they get the money? where were their parents? — but these boys were apparently going to blackmail the hapless teachers (which has happened before).
For all the opprobrium heaped on the religious schools of yore (I know, lust-filled Catholic priests and nuns with rulers blah blah blah), I can’t help thinking that Napoleon had a point: let the Church educate children until age 12, and then toss the little shits out into the world to earn a living, was his dictum, Certainly, cossetting them in schools until age 24 (which is what we have today) doesn’t seem to be working that well for them either.
It’s a little sad to think that the kids in the above pic are going to end up with untold thousands in tuition debt, and only the girl on the end is going to have the OnlyFans option to pay it off.
On the other hand, maybe that’s all they deserve.
Following on from the above post: I can see why someone at age 86 might not be interested in sex… but youngins?
A new poll found that Gen Z isn’t very interested in steamy sex scenes in their entertainment.
The survey of 1,500 respondents was conducted by researchers at UCLA. It found that almost half of Gen Zers aged 13 to 24 (47.5%) said sex “isn’t needed” for most TV shows and movies. A significant amount (44%) also said romance is “overused” as a plot device.
So what do they want instead? A majority of the respondents (51.5%) say they would like to see more stories about platonic friendship.
I can see why this is, though. Back in the day soon after the wheel was invented (i.e. when I was at the age of the Gen Z group), if you wanted to see sex, you’d have to watch movies where a couple would kiss and the scene would cut to the next morning, showing them fully dressed and having coffee.
Or you could read a Jilly Cooper novel.
Nowadays, of course, PornHub or xHamster are but a mouse-click away for anyone to watch not just a single sex scene, but dozens upon dozens, until you are heartily sick of the whole thing. (Or so I’m told.)
Under those circumstances, I can quite see why Gen Z doesn’t care about sex scenes in movies, and would prefer to see movies about platonic relationships. They can have video sex anytime they want; what they can’t get on any Internet channel is how to handle a friendship.
But platonic relationships? That’s almost as bad as “Young mother, who has just lost her only child to a terrible illness / car accident, goes back to her home town to rebuild her soured relationship with her aging father.” Great Caesar’s bleeding eyeballs, that’s enough to make me venture over to yet another true-crime show on Discovery+. Kill me now.
On the other hand, though, I have to defer to the late and brilliant novelist Alistair MacLean, none of whose popular novels had so much as a passionate grope in the story, let alone a full-ahead bonking. MacLean put it quite simply: “Sex scenes slow the story down.” And he was quite right, of course, and the same is true for the movies.
Anyway, most sex scenes in movies are soft-core thrustings, which I’ve always found somewhat insulting. And the ones that are “courageous” [/pretentious movie critic] end up being horribly depressing, as though the director can’t get himself/herself to show sex as being actual fun, or loving.
And it’s still true that doing an explicit sex scene most often spells the end of the actor’s career (anyone seen a decent movie with Chloë Sevigny since Brown Bunny was released?), so the best one can hope for is some wannabe / usetabe actor doing the dirty.
And who cares about that? Not I and, it definitely seems, not Gen Z.
Last week I received in my email something from these guys:
…with the following message:
Walmart, a company who’s known to be one of the biggest supporters of conservative causes, has just bowed to evil liberal demands. Here’s what happened…
Several major companies (including Amazon, Walmart, Barnes & Noble and more) have decided it’s against Americans’ best interests to carry a new book on their store shelves. And the reason why should have you fuming…
The book is called The First 72 Hours.
The First 72 Hours was written by one of the world’s leading survival authors, Damian Campbell.
And the reason these companies won’t allow you to buy his book is because it exposes how the left is using the current political unrest to steal our freedom in ways we never imagined…
And it teaches you how to prepare for the coming collapse.
The secrets in this book are well-known by government insiders…
And Campbell has put them all in this book in an attempt to warn you about what is going to happen in the next few months.
Since Campbell isn’t allowed to sell this book in stores we convinced him to let us hand out a few copies at a deep discount.
Right now we have permission to give 50% OFF copies to the next 288 people who click here.
However, once you get access to this book you’ll need to review it ASAP.
I can’t tell you when the S will hit the F. But I can tell you Jesus was right that no man knows the hour – and that we should be vigilant and prepared.
Get your copy of The First 72 Hours for 50% OFF before they’re gone… and before it’s too late.
Being of a suspicious nature when people send me stuff and want me to spend money with them, I did a little investigation for myself. I didn’t look at Walmart, because the next time I buy a book at Wally World will be the first time, and the last time I bought anything at B&N was when we were still homeschooling the kids.
So onto Teh Intarwebz I went. A whole two minutes later, I came across this:
…so the second paragraph contained at least one lie, which kind of pissed me off right there.
But my ire having been aroused, I decided to do a little more digging, and found the following:
Well, what about this “Firearm Man” guy (or org)? Searching for “firearm-man.com” takes one here:
So:
Fuck them, fuck their newsletter, and by the way, fuck Damian Campbell and his poxy little expensive brochure. I wouldn’t accept it as a gift, now.
Caveat emptor, y’all.
Here’s something that gets up my nose (#2,713):
Listen, fuckwits: “Türkiye” is what they call their country in their language; “Turkey” is how we spell and pronounce it, just as we change most place names to make them easier for our wooden Anglo vocal cords to pronounce.
I wouldn’t care, except of course that this isn’t done for every country (Deutschland, Russkiya, España etc.), and all they’re doing here is pandering to the Turko-Muzzies. If you’re going to do this kind of thing, at least try to be consistent.
Illinois has joined California (and not for the first time) in their blue-state legislative insanity, and IlGov Fatboi is leading the charge:
Starting January 1st, 2024, Illinois landlords will be required to rent or sell property to illegal aliens. Illinois Democrat Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed SB 1817 into law in late June, which will add “protections in the Illinois Human Rights Act for housing regarding immigration status protection and discriminatory advertising.”
Did I mention that Illinois also passed legislation, which Pritzker also gleefully signed into law, extending standard driver’s license privileges to illegal aliens?
Illinois Democrat State Sen. Ann Gillespie led the effort to expand housing rights to illegal aliens, absurdly claiming that the bill will ensure that illegals aren’t “unjustly denied housing.”
“Someone’s background should not disqualify them from buying or renting property.”
Almost without reflection, I can think of five reasons why illegal residence (which has nothing to do with “background”, by the way) is a very valid reason for disqualification.
To my Ill-Annoys Readers (and I think you know who I’m talking to): it’s time to leave the state, or actively start seeking employment- and residential opportunities elsewhere so that you can. Your state is fucked, California-not-so-lite, and that’s the beginning and end of it. As I say to recalcitrant South Africans: you don’t want to be in the line for a seat on that last helicopter on the rooftop; get out while you can.
Look, I know that it’s not an easy decision: I myself decided to flee Chicago only after much thought, soul-searching and anguish, especially as Connie really didn’t want to leave. We even looked at northern Michigan for a while (I wouldn’t now, but that’s a different discussion), but eventually decided on Texas because Texas.
Ultimately, we were driven out by the combination of horrible gun laws, high taxes and a Marxist congressional representative (Jan Schakowski), but even when we lived in the NW burbs, our state senator was… the above-mentioned Ann Gillespie. All those factors forced us to leave. And that was then. Now? Huh. Like a flash.
