Apparently, Spain won something sport-related, and I didn’t even notice.
Go, Spain! 🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸

What Do We Know about the Shooter?
Does anybody know anything about the shooter yet beyond the name and age? Has there been a note? Or a manifesto? Was he alone?
Grateful for updates.
I’m avoiding social media because the number of conspiracist jerks is depressing me.
Propaganda Continues
DEI specialists truly have the most insulting opinion of black people:
Forbes, ya know? And the image they chose to illustrate delivers, too.
What absolute garbage is this endless propaganda.
Trump Shot
Trump was shot in the head at a rally but he seems alive and quite combative.
This is getting really bad, folks.
Book Notes: Byung-Chul Han’s Saving Beauty
Ruling dogma changes every so often, and human beings are encouraged (and often forced) to mold and re-mold themselves into new shapes to hold it. Depth of conviction and strength of character get in the way of the ideal of human fluidity. We need to make ourselves as smooth as possible because any ridge or noticeable wrinkle on our personalities might make it hard for us to pretend tomorrow or next year that we always believed whatever it will be necessary to believe to remain acceptable.
As a result, we avoid having actual personalities. Instead, we have consumer preferences and quirks, lists of afflictions and diagnoses, and bouquets of victimhoods. They aren’t dangerous and don’t tie us to any idea or belief that might become dangerous in the near future.
Smoothness becomes our ideal of beauty. Like those reality shows about home improvement or beauty makeovers, we see the smooth, the identical, and the empty as beautiful. “I want open-concept spaces,” say the participants of these shows in voices that shake with an almost erotic anticipation. “Let’s take down as many walls as possible.”
Immanuel Kang explained that we are so overcome by majestic views of nature because they make us aware of our own incredible depth. But once we train ourselves to have no depth because we worship at the altar of transparency, we want everything around us to imitate the depth-less smoothness of our personalities.
And an Update on the Border Crisis
An illegal immigrant from Mexico cut up his wife and children into ribbons:
Victor Manuel Gomez-Acosta, a Mexican illegal immigrant, was charged with two counts of first-degree intentional homicide, attempted first-degree homicide and operating under the influence after being arrested in Abbotsford, Wisconsin… The victims are Gomez-Acosta’s wife and daughters. The children were found in one of their bedrooms. One had been stabbed 16 times and the other 20 times. His wife was reportedly stabbed approximately 17 times, with one of the wounds cutting her vocal cords.
Who should be blamed for this? Hmm… The crazy murder dude came in 2016 and then failed to be deported at an unspecified later date:
Gomez-Acosta entered the U.S. legally in Sept. 2016, via the port of entry in Laredo, Texas. However, according to the agency, he failed to depart at the time specified as part of his entry conditions.
It’s all one gigantic mess with no end in sight.
Disparate Impact Update
Our traditional weekend update on disparate impact policies is here:
The bar exam for aspiring lawyers is being removed because it is disproportionately hard for black people to pass.
As a result, clients will suspect every black lawyer of being unqualified and won’t hire them. The state will have to hire these otherwise unemployable lawyers, and this will dramatically affect the public defender offices and the prosecution offices. More criminality, more chaos, more resentment. Nothing else can come from these embarrassing policies.
It’s not possible to have two constitutions working at one and at cross purposes. This is the result when we fail to understand this.
Revolutionaries Don’t Change
One of the reasons why I love Vynnychenko’s novels from his 1911-1916 period is his depiction of revolutionaries. It’s uncanny, my friends. The revolutionaries all suffer from complicated mental illnesses and sexual disorders. They constantly talk about how prostitution is a career like any other and how great euthanasia is. They can’t work because of their mental illnesses and complicated emotional states. They deeply despise nationalists and religious people.
Before you think this is funny, please remember that these revolutionaries Vynnychenko is describing destroyed the Romanov empire and created the USSR in its place.
Understood
Not only completely true but alliterated, as well:
I feel very understood.
Invalid’s Fun
As I lie here, bed-ridden and landlocked, I’m needing entertainment.
