Two hundred years of feminism led us to a place where some pissy dude teaches us how to be female, and we must shut up to avoid hurting his feelings.

The message is: if you are not this kind of woman, then you are not a woman at all. And since no actual women are like that, the only real women are men.

At least FtM trans people don’t mock manhood in these insulting ways.

Folks, did you see this?

The Pittsburgh Bureau of Police has implemented a new response policy. Beginning March 11, officers will only respond to calls of in-progress emergencies, WPXI reported.

The policy is part of Chief Larry Scirotto’s efforts to reduce the bureau’s call volume from about 200,000 calls to about 50,000 calls this year, according to the report. Calls for criminal mischief, theft, harassment and many others will be handled by the telephone reporting unit or by online reporting.

If you are a victim of theft, burglary or a slew of other crimes, you won’t get police officers to come out and help you. Instead, you’ll get a link to a website to “report” the crime. After which obviously nothing will happen, encouraging more criminals to act with a justified expectation of impunity.

Another innovation in Pittsburgh is that police precincts will be left unmanned and closed at night:

The bureau … will remove desk officers from precincts between the hours of 3 a.m.-7 a.m., and reduce the number of officers on overnight shifts.

Remember how I’ve been telling you for yeears that police is one of the main forms of welfare in a nation-state? Once the nation-state withers away, there’s no more reason for governments to provide this or other forms of welfare.

A scared populace that’s besieged by criminals and is afraid for its safety on a daily basis is easy to despoil. Once the nation-state is gone, there’s no need for a middle class. One of the ways of pauperizing the middle class is forcing it to bear the financial burden of providing itself with basic safety.

The reason why we hear so much about the threat of authoritarianism is precisely because the actual danger is the exact opposite. It’s anarchy in the streets and oblivious citizens who are concentrated on policing their own thoughts while losing the actual and precious guarantee of crime policing.

A bastard is a bastard in any context.

This is excellent news. Little by little, we are gaining ground on this important issue. I now carry on my phone a photo of a girl with a sewn-on fake penis. I show it to people and gain immediate converts without having to say a word.

I just finished a long interview, and I have to say that I’ve been blessed with excellent, patient, intelligent interviewers this year. My interview last November was so bad that I almost decided never to do any ever again. It made me sound like an absolute moron and look like a fat, stupid cow. But this year everything changed, and I’m getting great questions that I really want to answer.

“Do you want some fresh green peas?” I asked Klara.

“I will not partake of these vulgar amusements!” she bellowed, and everybody at the grocery store looked at me, wondering what kind of weirdo I was.

She’s in the Anne of Green Gables stage, and her vocabulary shows it.

My book is being adopted as a textbook at one of Ukrainian universities. It’s so cool.

The book hasn’t come out yet but I placed it on Academia.edu, and people are already finding it.

The only thing remaining for the paper version to appear is the cover. The publishers are confused because they still can’t figure out the genre.

Speaking of conspiracy theories, did you see that the pro-Meghan Markle crowd (yes, they exist; no, I don’t get it either) are trying to get William removed as the future King by spreading rumors that he did something to his wife?

This is better than spying vaccine cheese.

I have no idea how it happens but I routinely and by complete accident run into Twitter accounts of people I know. And I don’t even know any people. I’m practically a recluse. There are supposed to be billions of accounts, but I somehow accidentally run into somebody familiar every now and then.

The way it happens is I read a comment to a comment to another comment, and when there are finally only two commenters left in the thread, one of them is a former colleague or somebody who used to read this blog but then got upset because my brain isn’t a 100% copy of theirs.

What I’m saying is that Twitter doesn’t recommend these accounts to me. I stumble on them in comment threads.

And yes, I now use a lot of Twitter because it became fun and useful after Musk took over.
