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.

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.

Not only completely true but alliterated, as well:

I feel very understood.

As I lie here, bed-ridden and landlocked, I’m needing entertainment.

Somebody within the party is trying to sabotage the Trump campaign. Inviting this succubus to speak is clear sabotage. Not unexpectedly, there’s nobody around Trump with the IQ of 100+ who will understand that a scandalous convention is a bad idea at this point. Calmness, stability and respectability are in order as the Democrats are imploding and turning themselves into the party of endless confusion and upheaval.

But no, let’s distract everybody’s attention from the Democrat dysfunction by featuring gutter weirdos at the RNC. That will really help with the suburban mom vote.

The noxious pipe dream that there’s a path for Republicans to attract black women has caused untold damage to the party but refuses to die.

In short, any woman throughout history who did anything except be a whiny little wallflower was a man.

We are well on the way to the idea that all women are men. Except, of course, the men who want to be women. Those men are women but nobody else is.

Please keep up.

If you are unnerved by a red triangle on a wall of your fancy college in New York, you aren’t mature enough to go to college. Or stay at home without an adult present.

Enough with the tedious snowflakery, people. Enough.

This is exactly what I say about emotional dysregulation being cultivated in people on purpose. That, and not red triangles, are the greatest danger faced by these students. They have the high IQ to be mega successful but they are being trained like Pavlovian pups to undermine themselves with performative fragility.

A capacity to focus and knowing how to self-contain are crucial to economic success (and increasingly just simply staying afloat) in the digital economy. At the same time, the lifestyles we lead are geared towards destroying focus and encouraging us to be raging, gushing fountains of emotion. Which makes focus and self-control even more rare and hence well-compensated. It’s not a conspiracy. Nobody is doing it on purpose. Gold is valued more highly than sand because it’s harder to find, that’s all.

We need to fight for our focus and self-containment ferociously. They are what will feed us. They will feed our children when they grow up. We should wage a war in our individual lives on emotional dysregulation, moodiness, letting work and private life merge and gush into each other, inappropriate emotional attachments to people who don’t know we exist, cultivating feelings of being oppressed or victimized, etc.

The political situation is getting so weird that I have turned on the news for the first time since February of 2020.

It definitely feels strange to be watching the news. It’s the Biden press conference I’m watching, not actual coverage. I’m not ready for that yet.

I understand that Biden is old but this is still annoying:

For those who can’t watch: Biden says “the President of Ukraine… Mr Putin.” After which, Zelensky kindly and good-naturedly says “I’m better.”

Yes, anybody can misspeak but when you can’t string 5 sentences along without misspeaking, it gets annoying.
