Generation Drag On Discovery+ Attacks Mauretania

Followers of the Lizard Empire will know what I mean.

Rejoice, Lizardians! Thanks to a recent offensive in Mauretania by the AMZN / WaPo, pedophilia is nearer to acceptance!

Here is the Lizard Empire, defined in full.

Lizard Empire Reference Map

Recall the sexual degeneracy mapping for the map.

• Rome is all acts acceptable to the Catholic Church.
• Italia is all acts acceptable in America, circa, say, 2000 AD.
• You, a person who likes to watch abusive threesomes online, are somewhere in Aquitania.
• Epstein is just barely beyond the border of Dacia. When ABC spiked the Epstein story three years ago, that was an attempt to conquer that territory and make Epstein acceptable.
• Trannies in the library are Brittania.
• Desmond is Amazing, the 11-year-old who dresses in drag and performs in gay bars, is Mauretania.
• Allowing children to choose their gender is Assyria.

In that post, we discussed how the WaPo was trying to normalize pedophilia by encouraging children to view and join the kinky parts of Pride parades. Today, we get news of Discovery+ releasing a new series following families that are pimping out their children to sexually degenerate audiences.

Discovery+ is entering the world of teenage drag shows with Tyra Banks.

The Dancing with the Stars host and EP is to exec produce Generation Drag for the streaming service.

The series follows five teens and their families as they anticipate their biggest drag performance at Dragutante, a drag show designed as a platform for LGBTQ+ teens to express themselves...

“In this heartfelt and joyous coming of age series, Generation Drag celebrates a group of amazingly talented teens who put their creativity, passion, and talent on center stage,” said Howard Lee, President of TLC Streaming and Network Originals. “Jameson, Noah, Vinny, Bailey and Nabela may only be in their teens, yet they are well beyond their years in being true to themselves and recognizing the importance of living authentically.  Their story is an inspiration to express yourself at any age.”

 Here's the inspirational trailer.

That's awesome.

You can see from this that the progs have already normalized pedophilia within their own ranks. This is an attack on the rest of us. Look how happy these children are expressing their true selves! Witness how hard they work to bring erections to sexual perverts! It's inspiring! How can you oppose this? The only people who don't want these children to experience the joy of giving mentally ill viewers happy endings are people full of hate.

If I were speaking instead of writing, I'd be using words that would make a sailor blush. How freaking sick do you have to be to working this hard to recruit children into sexual slavery?

How much do you want to bet that the teachers' union has no problem with any of this?

These people hate us.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. There are more ways of communicating than posting on social media and voting. Attacking our children is not going to end well for anyone. For the sake of the country, for the sake of all of us, this needs to stop.

Attending A Zombie Board Meeting

First, dig this. The American School Counselor Association fully supports school counselors keeping your school-groomed child's gender identification from you.

The American School Counselor Association @ASCAtweets keeps secrets from you about your kids' at school bc it is a "human rights issue."

I used to shrug off the progressive wackiness from public schools as something you just had to expect. It wasn't a big deal because your kids would eventually get a real job and outgrow the madness.

When the racialist nonsense arose, I had to work a bit harder to ignore it. Now that we've moved on to inflicting permanent damage on children and wrecking their lives if not killing them, it's not something you can accept.

That this was a natural outcome seems obvious now. The teachers, counselors and administrators all come out of the same, fetid pipeline. When a mentally ill teacher, highlighted on Libs of TikTok, looking like some kind of 19th-century, French courtesan, records a video talking about sexually grooming their students, you can't expect them to face any disciplinary actions at all because the gang in the faculty lounge, from the furries to the ambosexuals*, thinks the same way. To object to the grooming is to label yourself as a hate-filled bigot to everyone at the school and everyone on the school board.

Imagine instead that they were all zombies. One day at school, your son's teacher tries to eat his brains. You go to the school and talk to the principal. The principal tries to eat your brains. Enraged, you attend the next school board meeting and demand something be done. The school board, naturally, will try to eat the brains of all of the parents in attendance.

That's what we're facing. It was all good fun when they were just witches and warlocks, casting spells that caused warts or turned Howard Zinn into a scholar, but now that they're full-on zombies, something substantial has to be done.

For those of us in blue states, I'm not sure how that's going to go. 

I just know that it can't go on like this much longer and that there are more ways to communicate than posting on social media, attending school board meetings and voting. Threatening someone's children never ends well.

* - An ambosexual is someone who can only get off when doing it near a church pulpit.

If You Can't Trust Your Kids' School

 ... your only option is to take them out and put them somewhere else. If, like California, everywhere else is being forced to teach degeneracy, then you have to leave the state. I can't think of another solution.

Dig this pornography from schools in Orange County, North Carolina. It's not safe for work.

There's more, much more. Here are the purulent contents of teacher training materials from Evanston-Skokie. Yesterday's post illustrated how a school in Glendale, California is shielding a teacher who was sexually grooming third graders.

My daughter had a learning disability. She was bright, but struggled to write down assignments and test schedules. I used all of my annual leave for several years leaving work early on Mondays so I could get to her school before the teachers left at the end of the day and get the information for her. If we knew what her homework was and when the tests were, she did fine. Without that, it was a disaster.

One teacher in particular, a social studies teacher at my daughter's public high school, would have MSNBC on in her classroom every time I came in after school. She allowed my daughter to earn extra credit by attending speeches, marches and rallies, all of which were racial in nature. At these events, the standard fellow travelers had booths including Planned Parenthood and the LGBTQWERTY+%^& crew. It wasn't a big deal, she was a public school teacher. You just expected them to be left wing loons. The English teachers at her school were similar.

Looking back on it, I wonder if some of the grooming that led to her gender dysphoria happened there. There's a pretty strong probability as everyone up and down the line at the school would have been all for it. The timing works out well, too.

While I didn't really mind the political indoctrination, the sexual grooming is a horse of a different color. A person can outgrow childish political ideas, but if the school gets them hooked on drugs in the form of hormonal poisons, they can't outgrow the damage caused by those. This is a direct, physical attack on our children.

Now that we know it's happening, now what? If my daughter hadn't been on the bleeding edge of this madness, if she was in high school now, when I learned they were all evangelizing perverts, what would I have done?

Well, first off, I'd have screamed it from the rooftops. Second, I'd have spent my last dime getting her out of that environment. I'm not that unusual. What happens when lots of parents do this?

Where is this all headed?

This is from the Evanston, IL teacher training materials. It encourages children to consider taking drugs that will lead to brain damage, infertility and madness.

What Do You Do When Your Kids' School Is Revealed To Be Your Enemy?

Dig this.

The army of moms standing up against the sexualization of their children by groomer teachers is a defining moment in the culture wars this year. It is happening again in Glendale, Calif. at the Glendale Unified School District, and the board there got an earful at their last meeting after a third-grade teacher, Tammy Tiber, was caught teaching LGBTQ sexuality to 8-year-olds three days a week.

Here's one of the videos that was shown to the 3rd graders.

Here's the moms' side of things.

It's not that one teacher went rogue and when the district found out, that teacher got sacked. It's that the entire district has gone rogue.

What keeps hitting me about these scenes is how the public schools are no longer allied with the parents. They aren't your friends any more, they're your enemies.

Like the local governments that have abandoned parts of their cities to criminals, how does this work in the long run? How can you have a government that doesn't simply neglect the citizen, but actually hates them?

Seriously, it's like looking into an insane asylum.

KT Cat (Bondage / Dungeon)

At work, some people are listing their pronouns in their online profiles. Why? As far as I can tell, your pronouns announce your sexual preferences. Is there a reason I need to know this? Do you think we're going to sleep together?

Guess again.

The Fermentation Chamber Experiment Continues

I've reassembled my trashcan fermentation chamber for my tobacco. This time, it's in the garage, but it's got a 40W bulb inside to add some heat. It looks to be working well, raising the temperature by 5 degrees so far.

The reflection at the bottom comes from an inch or two of water.

You definitely need to click on this one to read it.

We'll let this go a while longer, but it's doing that I want it to do. It keeps the chamber from getting too cold without boiling it. I also have 60W bulbs I can try, just to see the difference.

The discontinuity in the graph above comes from the start of the experiment. I'd had one sensor in the garage and one in the house, just to see the differences there.

Over on the plant side of the equation, my Tennessee sprouted after a week while my Virginia variety took things at a more leisurely, Southern pace. It's coming up nicely now, too.

Addendum: The graph shows that the inch or so of water in the fermentation chamber takes care of the humidity issue perfectly. I think we're ready to go. Now all we need is some tobacco leaves. Come on, seedlings!

Booker T. Washington And NYC Schools

I wasn't going to post anything today because I was busy on other things, but this grabbed my attention.

37% of (New York) city students are repeatedly out so far, according to the DOE — a percentage that, if it persists through the end of the year, would be far higher than any year-end chronic absence rate going back at least to 2000.

Who cares? Certainly not the students and not the parents. Can you imagine what Booker T. Washington would say? He worked on the docks of Richmond and slept underneath the raised sidewalks to make money to finish his trip to the Hampton Institute.

He slept under the sidewalk.

Please don't give me any rubbish about racial disparities or white supremacy. My bet is that the absenteeism has a decent white component, which should silence the George Wallace clan. Going back to Booker T ...

The Negro worshipped books. We wanted books, more books. The larger the books were the better we liked them. We thought the mere possession and the mere handling and the mere worship of books was going, in some inexplicable way, to make great and strong and useful men of our race.

So why aren't the kids going to school? Simple. They don't value it.

It's hard to complain about your life when you've read about his.

On Netflix And Disney

 A while back, when the NFL lost the plot of their business model and got into the racial justice business in a big way, accusing all of their white fans of being racists, I wrote this blog post with the following snippet inside.

Good Lord, is it so hard to keep out of things that don't relate to your business? The sport is on the decline so you decide to call the core of your customer base racists? All they had to do was apply their existing rules and put an end to the politics on the field, but no, they had to take a "principled" stand, one they didn't take for the murdered Dallas cops. Now their ratings are much lower.

Can't anybody here play this game?

Another theme of this blog is the gulf between the Elites and the Normals. The Progs have completely taken over the education industry and, as a consequence, the HR and marketing teams of all the major corporations are hiring from a pool of race and gender maniacs. The aforementioned gulf is an isolating structure. The woke loons not only don't understand the Normals, they don't even know how large that group is.

A few days ago, I made the stunning assertion that the LGBT crew are typically not parents. Amazing, I know. Who would have thought that four dudes in furry costumes and prom dresses, going at it in a stew of Vaseline, weren't going to end up creating a child?

And so here we are with the Walt Disney Corporation siding with the sexual degenerates who lack a frame of reference for raising children over the parents of the children who are their target audience.

That is so unbelievably stupid that the only people who could possibly make a mistake that large would be the highly educated.

Not only did they misread the moment and misread the culture of their customers, they had no idea how big the population of Normals really was. They can spend all the money they want funding candidates, but in the end, the politicians respond to votes. Dig this.

A nationwide survey published last week shows that a large number of US adults are still in support of Florida's Parental Rights in Education bill, despite prolonged retaliation in the time since it was declared law for the state.

That majority includes a majority of Democrats.

Disney lost track of their primary mission - to provide wholesome, family entertainment. They then lost track of their customer base, normal parents. In fact, they didn't just lose track of those things, they took positions in complete opposition to them. Now they're getting whacked good and hard.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) signed into law Friday a bill that strips Walt Disney Co. from being able to govern the land where the Disney World theme park is located and a bill that effectively blocks Critical Race Theory from being pushed in classrooms.

In reference to the bill ending Disney’s special tax privileges in the state, DeSantis said, “I’m just not comfortable having that type of agenda get special treatment in my state.”

Some people have come out against the government of Florida removing Disneyworld's special privileges. They say it's an attack on Disney's freedom of speech. Nonsense. Disney has no right to those tax breaks and benefits. It's also the absolute right thing to do if you want to knock some sense into our corporate leadership.

Netflix

Well, this kind of thing didn't work, did it? Netflix lost subscribers and their stock has been crushed.

Another entertainment corporation that followed the advice of recent college graduates. It's almost like our universities have become giant insane asylums.

Losing Faith In Wisdom

 ... or, more accurately, losing faith in age.

I don't remember what I was consuming, possibly Jen Psaki's interview where she started crying because children were being prevented from choosing to be mutilated and poisoned in the name of gender theory, when it hit me that at the core of the issue is the age of the person making the decision.

When leading professional organizations come out and say that we must commit to executing irreversible surgeries and give life-shattering drugs to children at the behest of 13-year-old girls, you know something is terribly wrong. With all due respect, teenage girls aren't the most stable of creatures.

Here at Mudford General Hospital, we've put Tiffany Watson, 14, in charge of patient diagnosis. As soon as her voluntary, radical, double mastectomy is complete, she will be instructing the oncologists on how to treat your tumor.

As I listened to Jen Psaki channel her inner teenager and begin to sob, I thought, "She wants teenage girls making medical decisions.... Wait, what?"

This, of course, is completely insane.

What we're saying as a society, as mainstream, medical associations, as cultural leaders, as political leaders, as educators and more, is that we don't trust our ability to make decisions. We're so insecure that we're outsourcing decision-making to teenage girls.

On top of this, feel free to layer on all of the statue removals, banning of classic books and the rest of the idiocy we do because old things are bad.

The kids aren't the neurotics, we are.

A Little More On Grooming

Something I've noticed about the groomers highlighted on Libs of TikTok is how they are almost never parents. Having just become a grandfather, I'm realizing anew how parenthood changes your life in unexpected and dramatic ways. 

Here's a sample groomer video from LoTT.

We shouldn’t define the word woman because gender is a system of oppression pic.twitter.com/KYbtCeynpr

No parent there.

I was at the grocery store recently when I found myself walking behind a mom and her ~4-year-old daughter. The little girl was asking for something and the mom asked if that's what the little girl wanted the Easter Bunny to bring her. It was totes dorbs*.

When you're the parent of tiny tots, you love their innocence and wonder. It's beautiful and charming. Now into this world of Easter Bunnies, Santa Clauses and, in my childhood with my mother enthralled by British fairy tales, sprites, pixies and fairies, throw the groomer above. It's jarring, like installing a floor-level bandsaw in a puppy playpen.

Public schools are betraying parents with this. The horror of finding out that they've groomed your child to the point where she thinks she's a boy when you thought she was just learning her letters and numbers is why the parents are so enraged and why LoTT is so popular.

Meanwhile, many of the groomers, not being parents, cannot comprehend the reactions. In their world, the orgasm is the highest good. Sexual chaos is their path to enlightenment. They don't know from children and motherhood at all.

A while back, I embedded a video excerpt from Tora! Tora! Tora! where Admiral Yamamoto, at the end of the movie, says of the attack on Pearl Harbor, "I feel that all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve." It's poetic, but that analogy doesn't work. Yamamoto had some clue about the industrial might of America. The sexual degenerates in the schools can't fathom the rage and power of the parents whose children they are corrupting.

I think that's why they're reacting with self-righteous anger.

* - Totes dorbs means totally adorable for you cats and kittens not in the groove with all the hip, new jive.

TikTok And Twitter

It's late in the day and mine started at 0400. I got up, had my coffee and went to the gym to lift. There are goals to meet, you know. After that was an 0700 phonecon and then a trip into work. And so the long day wore on. All that is to say is that today's blog post is very late.

Libs of TikTok is a Twitter account that reposts TikTok videos to Twitter. They typically pick sexually degenerate teachers talking about how they're perverting children. It's a horror. Here's one of their tweets, chosen almost at random.

And that's pretty much it. They take content off of one social media site, one that skews much, much younger, a post it to a different social media site, one that skews older.

Libs of TikTok is an anonymous site, like this blog. Anon sites aren't uncommon and there are various reasons for using a pseudonym. Recently, the WaPo doxxed, that is, revealed the identity, of the person behind Libs of TikTok. That has resulted, predictably, in the person having to go to ground.

All they did was post content from one social media site to another.

The only possible conclusion is that the WaPo, as Elite an institution as one might hope to find in the news media, doesn't want parents discovering that is happening to their children.

Comment Moderation On. Also Bees

I hate to do this because I like the free flow of conversation, but I've turned on comment moderation. I read somewhere that it discourages the spammers and after a while, they might stop hitting my site.

I've also been thinking of moving to substack where you have to register to participate. I really don't want to do that as I've got so much content here.

Argh.

I'll do my best to regularly manage the comments. Maybe I can find a way to have the blog text me when a new one arrives.

Update: The best I can do is have blogger email me when someone posts a new comment. Let's see if that works. In the meantime, here are some bees for Tim.

Everyone Looks Like Me

As I understand it, the nomination of Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court is a big deal because she's a black woman. It's important because of the way she looks. Diving into the woke sewer that is the University of San Diego, owned and operated by the Diocese of San Diego, I found several references to the importance of people who looked a certain way being given important positions.

What gives? I thought we were Catholics.

Genesis 1:27 - "God created mankind in his image; in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them."

Galatians 3:26-29 - "For through faith you are all children of God in Christ Jesus. For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free person, there is not male and female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s descendant, heirs according to the promise."

Like, do we believe this junk or not? If we do, then everyone looks like you because we're all made in the image of God and we are all one in Christ Jesus. If we believed it, then race is irrelevant and, to some extent, sex is as well.

Meanwhile, our local, Catholic University is teaching racial classification that would make Jefferson Davis proud.

This isn't hard, guys.

In all the ways that matter, I look a lot like this.

Some will say that racial classification is necessary to overcome historic prejudices. No, no and no. The Catholic Church has the Truth. You don't help people get to the truth by hitting every False waypoint along the way. It's really simple. You just teach the Truth. Let the political people jockey for one voting bloc or another. Our job is to teach the Truth.

A whole bunch of people at USD need to go back to school.

He Is Risen!

Happy Easter, everyone!

Can You Build A Bridge If You Don't Understand Physics?

Yes.

Plenty of bridges have been built by people who couldn't write down the equations for momentum, kinetic energy or gravity acting on a falling body over time.

A perfectly adequate bridge for a woodland trail.

Can you build a suspension bridge without an understanding of physics and, by extension, mechanical engineering? Perhaps, but it's risky.

Can you construct a sequence of sophisticated bridges which allow roads and railroads to span a continent, carrying passengers and freight with a high confidence levels of safe passage? No.

Imagine that you don't know physics or engineering, but can design and construct a 4-lane bridge that crosses a 100' ravine with a 80% probability that it will handle the required traffic. That would be quite a feat of intuitive genius, but let's posit that for the sake of argument.

If someone needed to travel across states, all equipped with your bridges, and had to cross 10 of them, what is their chance of safe passage?

0.80 ** 10 = 11%

Hmm. I don't think I'm up for that journey.

What if there were 20 such bridges?

0.80 ** 20 = 1%

You can definitely count me out of that trip.

When I go on and on about marriage and John Paul II's Theology of the Body, this is one of the things I ponder. Can you live a happy life taking wrong-sex hormones and amputating healthy body parts? Perhaps. Can you fashion a happy community when 10% of your children are doing this? Almost certainly not.

Can you raise happy and successful children as a single parent? Possibly. Wife kitteh and I worked very hard at this and our results, through no fault of our kids, were hit and miss. Can you have a happy and healthy neighborhood when everyone is a single parent? Definitely not. Can you have a happy and healthy society when 30-40% of your families are headed by single parents?

Do you want to cross 1,000 bridges in a row constructed by someone who doesn't understand physics or engineering?

Physics isn't just a series of think-tank, policy essays, it's an accurate representation of the real world in mathematical terms. Dittos for engineering.

Dittos for Theology of the Body.

When the University of San Diego embraces racial segregation and gender theory, the problem isn't just that it is failing to pass on the Catholic faith to our children, it's that it is teaching falsehoods. It is implanting false equations in their heads.

Now imagine if our bridge designer above wasn't ignorant of physics, but instead was taught false physics and diligently applied invalid engineering equations in his bridge designs as a result.

I ain't crossing those bridges, no sir. 

And yet, right now, we do.

The San Diego Diocese Is A Microcosm Of The Country As A Whole

I had a conversation with a friend the other day and got a few more data points about what's happening with the trans mania across the country. They told me that of their teenage child's friends, more than half now identified as trans or non-binary. They had been groomed by their local public school and the grooming took. One was now on puberty blockers and would soon be taking hormones. That road leads to madness and death.

The school was actively fighting the parents, practicing true cultural imperialism. The parents of the child who is now on puberty blockers were weak and trusted the authority figures from the school. Madness and death are on the way for their child.

I checked out our diocese website and found this.

I then visited the website of the University of San Diego, which is run by the diocese. It didn't take long to discover support for racial segregation and sexual degeneracy.

The LGBTQ+ & Allies Commons came out of a legacy of student activism that pushed for greater visibility and support for LGBTQ+ community members. As a student-run space, our work is informed and carried out by student coordinators and volunteers. We seek to create affirming spaces for queer and trans folks while educating the entire campus community about inclusive strategies.

Isn't that the perfect example of what's happening across the country? As Catholics, we're asked to evangelize a faith that has a fixed and ordered model for sexual relations. Our Elites are actively working against us. This isn't happening at the local level. Our parishes aren't embracing it, only our leadership, only the diocese.

We give them our Catholic children coming out of high school, taught to the best of our abilities to practice the faith and they groom and pervert them into something else. It's not that the diocese is trying to evangelize and failing, it's that they're materially supporting the subversion of our children and our culture.

They hate us. It's time we returned the favor.

On Mascots

So Colorado is thinking about fining schools in the state $25,000 per month if they don't get rid of their Indian-based mascots and nicknames.

A commission that has worked for nearly a year to rid more than two dozen Colorado public schools of American Indian mascots is now targeting seven additional schools as the statewide compliance deadline nears.

All the schools are the Thunderbirds, named after a mythical bird that was important to several tribes.

The action could come on May 19, at the next quarterly meeting of the Colorado Commission of Indian Affairs, Executive Director Kathryn Redhorse said at a meeting on April 6. The commission is charged with enforcing Senate Bill 116, which passed last year and gave schools until June 1 to eliminate American Indian mascots or face fines of $25,000 a month. 

I absolutely love this. Someone on Twitter posted that ... well, you can see for yourself what we did with Land O' Lakes butter.

We got rid of the Indian, but kept the land.

It's hilarious! 

It's all stupid beyond belief. I mean, no one uses a mascot that symbolizes something they despise. It's always a compliment. There's no team named the Scrofulous, Disease-ridden Rats.

Well, there's the Trash Pandas, but that's pretty cool.

We Create The Villains We Want To Fight

I've been pondering this one for quite a while and I've seen a good bit of it in myself. It came into full bloom when wife kitteh showed me an article a friend of hers, we'll call her Gail, had posted to Facebook with a great deal of head-nodding and oh-yeahs. The article claimed that opposition to Pope Francis is really the fruit of opposition to Vatican II. You could immediately see that Gail had a vision for the enemy she wanted to fight and she wanted people who disagreed with her to wear that costume.

I'm no fan of Pope Francis. I think they guy is a flibbertigibbet, an intellectual lightweight who has completely misread the moment. He's also the King of Unforced Error. To be honest, I know very little about Vatican II because it doesn't interest me. The Latin Mass doesn't bother me, either. I've never been to one, but I see no need to shut them down. No harm, no foul.

Still, there it is. I'm being asked to strap on the RadTrad costume so Gail can whip out her practiced arguments in favor of Vatican II. Err, no. Not even close.

I do this as well, most recently with the trans mania. I'm not as far down the rabbit hole as some on the right who claim the trans thing is all about control and dominance, but I still love to generalize. If I could get them to wear the costume of my favorite villain, I'd be happy to shout logical conundrums at them all day long.

In fact, there's no need to do this. At work, I've taught the kids with whom I work that when they brief VIPs, they should write down the questions the VIPs ask. People only bring up topics that are important to them. If you listen to their questions, they will give you a decent outline of their key concerns and from that, you can design a sales pitch for the next meeting.

Similarly, social media gives you a window into the minds of the people who disagree with you. As far as I can tell, the well-meaning proponents of trans, by which I mean the ones who aren't sexual degenerates looking to recruit children, truly believe they're helping children who are in psychic pain. They believe our medical authorities who are currently telling us that puberty blockers and hormones are perfectly fine.

The flaws in their arguments aren't about grooming, they're about the severe damage being done to children and young adults. The way to convince them they're wrong is not to yell, "OK, groomer!" at them like I do all the time on Twitter, but to show them examples of people whose bodies have been wrecked by the drugs and surgeries.

They don't want to cause pain, they want to alleviate it. They're telling us how to sell to them. It's actually pretty straightforward. Should we do it?

Nah. Let's meme them into oblivion!

The Lawsuits Are Coming

... and mighty will be their destruction as they rip through our woke institutions.

We had a dinner party with some non-Catholic friends last night. During our conversation, one of the women talked about the changes she's seen in her grandchildren's school over the last few years. She went to some school function, perhaps an awards ceremony, and many of the girls had new names and new identities. She lives in a pretty tony part of town, so it revealed that the transgender madness has also overtaken the wealthy enclaves. It wasn't just one or two girls, either, it was a whole bunch. These were girls she had tutored or seen socially.

She was horrified.

When wife kitteh and I described what was happening in our family, everyone sat there with their mouths open. Wife kitteh didn't think so, but I felt like our personal tragedy ruined the evening. These are her friends, not mine, however, and their bonds are very deep. My discomfort was probably just me still feeling like an outsider even after 15 years.

In any case, none of them were familiar with what is happening out there in the real world. I am because I've begun to read more and more first-person horror stories from detransitioners. Like this one I found on Twitter.

It's an anon account on social media, so you don't know if it's true, but it rings true, given the other ones I've heard from people willing to share their names. It also rings true from my own personal observations.

By the way, here's what PCOS means. "Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a condition in which the ovaries produce an abnormal amount of androgens, male sex hormones that are usually present in women in small amounts."

These stories are beginning to escape into the public and I believe the tide is turning against the trans insanity. I'd even go so far as to suggest that the woke managed to pull off a Pearl Harbor attack on us, with my own family being among the casualties.

Yes, Pearl Harbor was a mighty victory for the IJN. However, it didn't end well for the Japanese. It won't end well for the woke schools or medical groups that have killed and maimed our children.

Does Social Justice Include The Working Poor?

Blog Note: Well, it looks like the captcha word didn't stop the spam commenters. Next up: registration on this blog. I hate it, but if the spam continues, I'll have to do it.

On with the show.

Recently, the Pope gave a speech on Malta. This being Pope Francis, he talked about social justice, the environment and immigration. He talked about them as if they were all in harmony with one another, but they're not. Illegal immigrants contribute mightily to pollution. They also compete with the working poor of their destination country for jobs, which acts to depress the wages of the working poor.

This isn't to say that one cause is good and the other is bad, I'm just pointing out that you can't be in favor of all three at once or, at the very least, you have to prioritize them. As in, immigrants are our first priority. After that, we'll have to make sacrifices to pay to clean up their messes. Thirdly, we will have to make more sacrifices to help the working poor cope with the fact that we've just made it harder for them to escape poverty.

One of the things this blog has taught me is that it is very difficult to escape the assumptions of the culture. That is, I've always reflexively associated certain things because, well, that's what everyone does. Social Justice includes concern for the working poor, for example. 

When I read the text of Pope Francis' speech, I started to wonder if he even understood the implications of what he was proposing. I doubt it. He's swimming in this same ocean where social justice means you care for the less fortunate. It obscures the fact that the "less fortunate" includes different subsets with opposing interests.

The next time I hear someone go on about social justice or immigration, either in person or online, I'll pose the question asking which group should have primacy. We'll see what happens.

Of Windex And Sasquatch

Blog Note: I've been whacked with a lot of spam recently, so I've activated a captcha word input in the comments. I hope it doesn't dissuade you from commenting. Up to now, I've left the blog wide open to make commenting easy, but the spam is making the posts unreadable.

On with the show.

Has anyone ever seen a full bottle of Windex? I know I haven't. Do they even exist?

Windex in its natural state. It's so empty that if you tilt the bottle while you spray, you get a tiny spritz and then nothing but Windex-flavored air.

Oh sure, like Sasquatch, there are grainy photos, shot from a great distance, revealing what appears to be a full bottle of Windex, but as far as I'm concerned, it's all a myth. No, Windex only exists in a nearly-empty state. Perhaps it has something to do with the electron shells of Windex molecules. We all know that nearly all of the volume of any particular atom consists of emptiness. Maybe Windex molecules compress themselves down into their true, non-emptiness state and that's why the bottles are always at their dregs.

One thing's for sure. I'm going to need a great, big government grant to continue my research. (Looks up real estate prices for 10-acre houses near Fairhope, AL, right on the bay.) I'm thinking about $3,000,000 would do it.

Using Coffee To Escape Reality

I need to work harder and do more things. No matter how much I do or how many irons I have in the fire, I need to accomplish more and try more stuff.

Since there are only so many hours in a day, I must take advantage of each and every one of them. Fortunately, when I slow down and become emotionally or mentally exhausted, there is always caffeine to pick me up. Hooray! Another cup and I'll be able to give der Führer maximum effort!

Der Führer, of course, is my own insane drive to accomplish N+1 things where N is the number of things I'm accomplishing now.

It's all nonsense, of course. To borrow from Ecclesiastes,

Vanity of vanities! All things are vanity! 

What profit have we from all the toil which we toil at under the sun? One generation departs and another generation comes, but the world forever stays. The sun rises and the sun sets; then it presses on to the place where it rises. 

Shifting south, then north, back and forth shifts the wind, constantly shifting its course. 

All rivers flow to the sea, yet never does the sea become full. To the place where they flow, the rivers continue to flow. All things are wearisome, too wearisome for words. The eye is not satisfied by seeing nor has the ear enough of hearing.

To zoom in to a much smaller time scale than generations, your body carries a limited amount of fuel in the form of hormones, sugars, fats and so forth. There is a maximum rate at which it can spend them. When the tank is empty, it's empty and you've got to rest and consume in order to restore it.

Vanity of vanities, coffee is simply a turbocharger that burns your fuels faster. The tank still empties.

At the end of such a day, when a massive amount of stimulants have been consumed, what is there to do but consume depressants to counteract the remaining stimulants that have nothing to stimulate besides your jangled nerves? Crack open a beer and get to work calming down. And then another and another.

Bah. It's all vanity. No matter how much we accomplish, never does the sea become full.

But wouldn't it be glorious if we really could fill it? Maybe we can! Let's try again tomorrow.

Starting Civilization From Scratch Is Hard

Dig this.

This is - absolutely - hilarious.

It's not only the awkward *cough* when the Department of Health are asked to define 'a #woman' - but the follow up, 'we'll have to take that question on notice'.

Seriously. How is this a thing?pic.twitter.com/KdE0GfHTCo

It finally dawned on me what's going on here. The Left is trying to tear down everything from the past and is building a utopia from scratch. Everyone that went before us is racist, homophobic, transphobic, imperialist and so forth. It's so simple! Just throw it all away and do the things that put you on the Right Side of History.

The problem is that over the last 6000 years, lots and lots of very complicated issues have been resolved through thought, experience and application. You may have an advanced degree from a Very Important University, but you can't think of everything.

When the trans insanity started, it was obvious to the Big Thinkers that all we needed to do was affirm each person's gender identity. Clearly, that was the Right Side of History. They didn't anticipate men competing in women's sports and smashing the competition. They also didn't anticipate the biological aspects of it, like what hormones do to brains.

In general terms, they haven't thought their utopia through. How could they? If you start from a clean sheet of paper, you have to think literally everything through from scratch. Further, if you censor anyone who thinks that the whole clean-sheet-of-paper thing is madness, there will be lots and lots of questions you didn't anticipate.

Like, "What is a woman?"

Dig this bit from an old Tucker Carlson show.

It's absolutely clear that the DNC dude was blindsided with these questions and was making up his answers on the spot.

He wouldn't have needed to do so if he'd just practiced a little humility and honored the people that went before him. It's a lot easier to build upon what already exists than it is to start with a clean sheet of paper.

It's Incredibly Hard To Maintain A Conspiracy

 ... because eventually, your plans are almost certainly going to leak out into the public. 

In the last couple of weeks, a whole swarm of child grooming conspiracies have come to light. And yes, I'm calling the public school and Disney embrace of gender theory grooming. Gender theory is utter nonsense whose only purpose is to legitimize your fetishes.

Anywho, dig these examples. Here's Disney's corporate president on a private Zoom call with other bigwigs, talking about how her children are train wrecks and how she wants your kids to be train wrecks, too.

SCOOP: Disney corporate president Karey Burke says, "as the mother [of] one transgender child and one pansexual child," she supports having "many, many, many LGBTQIA characters in our stories" and wants a minimum of 50 percent of characters to be LGBTQIA and racial minorities. pic.twitter.com/oFRUiuu9JG

Someone on that Zoom call didn't like what she was saying, recorded it and sent it to Chris Rufo. Now it's gone viral and the conspiracy is over. You know it was a conspiracy because they weren't sending out press releases about the stuff. They clearly supported gender theory, but this view into their inner workings was another thing entirely.

If you want to see more, here's a group pushing for puberty blockers and hormone treatments as early as possible. Again, someone with access to the information didn't like where this was going and blew the whistle.

Click on the image to read a small bit of the insanity linked above.

Here's a training session for public school teachers instructing them on how to push gender theory.

"early grades may be the best time to introduce topics related to sexual orientation, gender identity & expression, gender equality & social justice related to LGBTQ+ community before heteronormative & cisnormative values & assumptions become more deeply ingrained & less mutable"

Charming. Again, someone leaked the information and now it's all out in the open.

Finally, to appreciate the almost-full horror of the situation, here's a thread from a parent discussing what happened when she finally found out that her daughter's school and convinced her she was trans.

They weren't validating her identity.

They tried to steal it.

They were trying to force it into their box.

To mold her mind with only parts of the truth.

No one ever explained to her the spectrum of the binary.

We can all see what they're doing now. 

Finally, there's this.

Hopefully this lawsuit will bankrupt the school district. If it doesn't, it will provide valuable insights that will help the subsequent ones. Make no mistake, they're coming.

Watching all of this unfold over the last couple of weeks and trying to make some sense of it, it finally dawned on me today that all of these conspiracies are doomed to come out into the open. When they do, they will provide ample support for parental lawsuits.

Let the games, as it were, begin.

Purple

I've been buried on multiple projects and my thoughts are all on circle track anyway, going around in the same ruts you've all heard before, so I figured I'd share this beauty from our back yard. I left it large, so I think it's worth a click.

Enjoy!

Quantity Is Irrelevant To Quality

 ... when it comes to humidity in a trashcan.

Continuing with my experiments looking for the optimal tobacco fermentation chamber, I ran two more over the past week. In the first, I put 10 gallons of water in a 33-gallon trashcan and covered it with a sheet of glass to make a greenhouse. My two sensors were stuck to the side of the trashcan, one about 1/3 of the way up, the other 2/3 of the way up the side. The trashcan was put out in the backyard on a partly sunny day. Here's the data for that one.

You definitely need to click on that one to make sense of it.

First off, the humidity had nothing to do with the placement of the sensors. Second, the humidity was plenty high, over a significant portion of the time, to accomplish the fermentation. Third, when the sun came out, the temperature shot up 60 degrees in a matter of minutes.

When the temperature jumped, the humidity fell until evaporation could catch up with it, at least partially.

Conclusion: The greenhouse is simply too unstable to serve as a fermentation method. The leaves need to slowly ferment not shoot from one temperature extreme to another.

In the second experiment, I had the trashcan with its glass lid in the garage. The sensors were in the same places, but this time there was only an inch of water in the bottom of the can. Here's the data for that one.

The temperature followed the ambient temperature in the garage. I opened the garage door once the sun came up to let in the day's heat. The humidity went to 100% and stayed there. Perfection.

Conclusion: All I really need is a trashcan with a lid, not a glass one, and a 40W incandescent bulb to make this work. I can easily rig that and we can see if a small bulb will keep the temperature at 70 degrees or higher. We can try a 25W bulb if necessary. I'm thinking that a computer-controlled system might be fun and sophisticated, but it's probably overkill. If the local temperature here in San Diego gets above 80, I can just turn the bulb off manually.

This thing is just about ready to rock.

Unfortunately, we were gone over the last two weekends and while people came over to take care of the dogs and water the plants, something went wrong with the tobacco seedlings and they all died. Not to worry, more seeds are on the way. The plants only take 60-90 days to be ready for harvest, so it's no big deal.
