Elon Musk is smart. He reoriented everybody’s attention away from his exceptionally unpopular stance on H1-B visas towards the pedo rape scandal in the UK. It’s a very real scandal, and he’s done the world a great favor by attracting attention to it. But what a smart way to emerge from his own recent troubles.

Soros should refuse. He doesn’t believe in the nation-state and doesn’t want it to exist. He shouldn’t be receiving honors from nation-states. I refused to be honored at the “Admirable Womxn” event because I’m not a womxn. Why can’t an elderly, mega rich man choose his principles over a meaningless (to him) bauble is incomprehensible. Why, in short, is he so unfree after doing his darndest to inflict neoliberal freedom worship on all of us?

Yes, right, a woman. One of those gigantic women who knife strangers in unprovoked violent outbursts.

I’m heartsore for actual women who will be incarcerated next to this individual.

In reality, it’s not STEM vs Humanities. It’s bloody Psychology – a completely fake degree that its own faculty openly refer to as “fluff” – that’s destroying higher ed. Half of the incoming Freshman class goes into psychology, and then everybody who flunks out of actual disciplines joins them there. There are no jobs for a BA in psychology because the degree doesn’t let you see patients or offer counseling.

There’s a tragic shortage of competent psych providers but that’s an issue that is entirely disconnected from the overproduction of Psychology BAs.

We are expecting a snow storm and a cold spell. And I don’t mean Midwestern cold which is a bit fresher than scorching heat. It’s going to be cold even according to my exacting standards. -22°C is what’s being promised by the weather service, and I hope it won’t disappoint.

The lines at the grocery store today were Soviet length but filled with typical American goodwill and kindness. I bought Jerusalem artichokes and 3 different kinds of milk, and we are now ready to enjoy real winter.

99,9% of women want to be in a loving relationship. In fact, being in a relationship is a female achievement marker beyond absolutely any other from early teenage years until death. Among female peer groups nobody gives a crap how much money you make, how many degrees you have, how many books you published, etc. Or how many children you have if there’s no dude in the package.

I wonder if the guy in the posted comment is really that clueless and sincerely doesn’t know this or if it’s a cope.

Netflix is premiering a new show with Meghan Markle where she’s going to attempt to position herself as a new Martha Stewart.

The makers of the show are so unprofessional that they don’t understand that the reason behind Martha Stewart’s outlandish popularity wasn’t her recipes or flower arrangements. Stewart has a phlegmatic temperament, which reads as low-anxiety. Her female fans were mesmerized by what they perceived as a non-anxious woman in a culture that plays up neurotic female behavior.

Meghan Markle comports herself as a standard neurotic. The persona of a calm domestic goddess is alien to her every faculty. That’s why she looks so weird surrounded by the same flower pots that made Martha Stewart a billionaire.

I very much despise the use of words like “grooming” as a shamefaced stand-in for “rape” and “trafficking” to substitute “pimping.” The same goes for “sex work” instead of “prostitution.”

Let’s avoid this Newspeak and express ourselves clearly.

Mrs Uglypants is gone, and I’m back looking normal and sitting amidst digitally generated luxury:

By the way, Klara was in the room during the taping, so if you hear soft rustling sounds in the background, it’s Klara working on her art.

Thank you for sharing, друже! I’m very sorry, this is so sad. I can’t imagine how hard it must be. We have mountains of family dysfunction, like everybody from the USSR, but my father steered us off the pro-Russian path. He was very gentle except on the really important issues where he was unbreakable.

You are always welcome here, please know that.
