If We Can’t Blame America

New video shows Russian ICBM strike against Dnipro this morning.

It’s the first time in human history that an ICBM has been used in a war.

Incredible footage.

Strangely, there are no calls on Russia to stop escalating. If the US can’t be blamed, nobody cares. 

We are drowning in anti-patriotism where every America-hating bastard has a point and has to be respected while we are always the bad guy.

We have no one to blame that the nation-state is dying. We abandoned it through anti-patriotism and eager subservience to those who despise us.

Online Shows for Toddlers

These people are evil and hell eagerly awaits them but what’s wrong with the parents? No kid needs to watch online shows at two. Or three, or five, etc. Of course, they won’t read if they are trained to depend on ready-made images instead of having their minds generate their own through reading.

Little neurotics with an impoverished, shallow subjectivity and a non-existent sense of self is a product of this approach.

Why Bathrooms?

Very busy at work, so can anybody please explain why my newsfeed is filled with discussions of bathrooms again? Has something bathroomy happened? I don’t have time to unravel this.

Downsides of Being a Reader

I wanted my child to be a reader, so now I have to observe her dragging every book she’s currently reading and consulting with her everywhere. Her backpack weighs more than she does, and I’m worried she’ll have back problems but I can’t get her to relinquish a single book or encyclopedia she needs to have with her at every moment in time.

Denying Reality

Do you know how many peace talks Ukraine held with Russia between 2014 and 2022?

Almost 200.

Do you know how many ceasefires were signed in that period of time?

Twenty.

Do you know how many out of these ceasefires were violated by Russia immediately upon signing?

Twenty.

Denying reality and trying to live in a fantasy is always a mistake. But the problem is that we have convinced ourselves that words can change reality, so we operate with magic incantations, hoping they would change what actually exists.

Politico, Anyone?

For the people who kept telling me to take Politico seriously as a source of information . .  .

. . . my message is, fuck you.

P.S. AP did the same thing with the same purpose of sowing the “WWIII” panic, so fuck them also.

Maybe They Won’t Notice Us

The Chinese vessel NewNew Polar Bear destroyed the undersea gas pipeline Balticconnector between Finland & Estonia last year

Yesterday, the Chinese vessel Yi Peng destroyed 2 telecom cables connecting Finland-Germany & Sweden-Lithuania.

The West can’t pretend nothing is going on.

Oh, yes, it can and it will because it’s well-known that pretending a problem doesn’t exist is the best way to solve it.

Sociability Collapse

We had a big event at the student center today. Activities, games, prizes, music, dancing, free food. I’m one of the organizers, and I can confidently say that it was a great success.

One thing strikes me as curious, though. About 90% of students who came up, struck up conversations, played the games, laughed, won prizes, socialized, etc were international students. And we aren’t a mega attractive destination for international students. It’s not that we have an enormous crowd of them. We have many, many more American students. And they were there but kind of skulking in the background, not approaching, not participating.

We are experiencing a collapse of sociability post-COVID. These American students are hard-working, honest, bright. But they didn’t get to socialize freely in their formative years, and the result is there. Nobody discusses this except people in education because we see it every day. It’s a serious problem, and let nobody claim otherwise.

A New Term for Men

I found a very inventive way to refer to men and I have to share it.

Prepare yourselves.

No, please, really prepare yourselves.

It’s this:

people who are not vaginally presenting

Liberal Tears

Guess who’s going on in two days with an episode called “Liberal Tears”?

Yes, that’s me.

I’ll share several very funny stories about liberal tears and culminate with a positive, hopeful and really hilarious true story.
