The absolute gall of these people calling anybody else weird:
The job ad itself is actually even worse, if you can imagine it.

Negotiating with Terrorists
It’s exactly what I said. Russians will manufacture as many of these dissidents as they like, and the US will keep exchanging them for warlords, spies, and murderers again and again. It works, so why not keep trying if Americans refuse to learn?
Price Controls
I remember when Hugo Chávez in Venezuela tried that. Then citizens ran away and those who couldn’t ate rats and animals at the zoo.
What needs to happen for people to get it into their very thick heads that price controls don’t work?
To think we could have had DeSantis and avoided all this.
Subscriber Beware
One more reason to not subscribe to Disney+:
Not that I was going to subscribe anyway.
For Stupid Readers
Well, duh. There was BLM in Trump’s last year, and it caused the murder spike.
These headlines rely on readers being extremely stupid.
Which they tend to be.
Literal Nazis Everywhere
Her opponent is a very progressive Democrat. He’s far to the left of the overwhelming majority of Americans. And he’s black. But he disagrees with Omar on the minutiae of their leftism, so he’s “a literal Nazi.”
Everybody is a literal Nazi if they disagree on absolutely anything with whichever leftist is currently in charge.
Somehow I doubt that this comment will generate as much outrage as JD Vance’s admittedly gauche “childless cat ladies.”
School Traditions
Nobody told me that for the first day of class you need to photograph your child holding a little billboard saying, “First Day of 3rd (or whichever) grade.” It’s a tradition I discovered by absolute chance on social media.
Not that my child would agree even if I had known about it. I can only imagine her deeply sarcastic look if I suggested something so momsy.
Reagan Conservatism
“Reagan conservatism” is simply an initial stage of neoliberalism. It inevitably leads to moral collapse in its subsequent stages. I’m sure Reagan himself didn’t anticipate that but not thinking through the consequences of your actions is not conservative.
Since the times of Reagan and Thatcher, neoliberalism has been embraced passionately and excitedly by the Left. (See Leftism Reinvented by the leftist professor Stephanie Mudge). Neoliberalism, with its emphasis on constant change, is natural to the Left and unnatural for conservatism. The reason why we can’t go back to Reagan conservatism is that it’s impossible to replay the initial stage of a process that moved on and mutated. You can’t stuff a butterfly back into her cocoon. Competing with the Left on the field of neoliberalism is a losing game.
Moneymaker
I found a way to trick the self-checkout register at our grocery store into charging between 2 and 5 cents for any amount of any type of produce.
Obviously, I’m not going to use it and I alerted the staff. Then I alerted them again a week later. They look unwilling to do anything, and I’m wondering if everybody hates me for spoiling a good little moneymaker.
A Kursk Update
Inhabitants of the Russian city of Kursk not only don’t resist the Ukrainian takeover but speak to the invading soldiers in fluent Ukrainian:
Hundreds of young Russian conscripts surrender willingly because they’ve been raped by Chechens for months and are understandably happy not to be raped any longer.
