Nope… Didn’t know about Topsy-Turvy but am going to hunt it down. Thanks!

One can only imagine the kind of modern PhD thesis this fellow’s life and career would result in:

Distantly Related: Back in the day (1970s) BBC or ITV had a series of Late Victorian Music Hall shows — think Champagne Charlie — I must try to find them on YouTube if possible too.

If a production of “The Mikado” is set in Twenties Britain is it still cultural appropriation from the Japanese?
It’s definitely not PC.

Have you seen the G&S biopic?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topsy-Turvy
“The story concerns the 15-month period in 1884 and 1885 leading up to the premiere of Gilbert and Sullivan’s The Mikado. The film focuses on the creative conflict between playwright and composer, and their decision to continue their partnership, which led to their creation of several more Savoy operas.

The film was not released widely, but it received very favourable reviews, including a number of film festival awards and two Academy Awards for design. While it is considered an artistic success as an in-depth illustration of British life in the theatre during the Victorian era, the film did not recover its production costs.”

A more traditional production, which is our family’s favorite, from Canada.

This calls for the obligatory Gilbert and Sullivan Interlude:

What is a leftoxenomorph?

Any individual who is willing to abandon humanity to regress, deteriorate and degenerate into a sub-human ant-like thing of a rabid, fanatical, jihadist leftism and practices the religion of leftoxenomorphism.

What is leftoxenomorphism?

Leftoxenomorphism is a con or more precisely a collection of cons in the form of a religious dogma encompassing (but not exhausted at) the following concepts and incorporating the ideas and strategies and actions of the following characters and organizations:

“believe all women” + “Build Back Better” types + “cancel culture” + “cashless society” peddlers + “Common Core” peddlers + “‘evidence’ is whatever we say it is because reasons” + “Great Reset” types + “islam is a religion of peace” types + “lived experiences” + “New World Order” types + “One World Government” types +

“Open Society” types + “‘proof’ is whatever we say it is because reasons” + “‘science’ is whatever we say it is because reasons” + “women don’t lie” + “World Economic Forum” + Alfred Schmidt + all whites are racists + Antifa + Antonio Gramsci + Axel Honneth + Bertolt Brecht + BLM + brutalism + Carl Grünberg + climate change +

Cloward-Piven Strategy + George Soros and his collaborators and enablers and protectors + collectivism + totalitarianism + communism + critical-(whatever)-theory + cultural marxism + Edward R Murrow + Erich Fromm + Fabian Society + fascism + feminazism + Frances Fox Piven + Frankfurt School + Friedrich Engels + Friedrich Pollock + Georg Lukacs +

gleichschaltung (the 1930s nazification process of “all the same by force”) + Antonio Gramsci + gynofascism + Herbert Marcuse + homonazism + Institute for Social Research + intersectionality (bullshitsectionality) + Jacques Derrida + Jean-François Lyotard + John Dewey, + Jürgen Habermas + Karl Marx + Leo Löwenthal +

liberals (American slang, they are, of course the opposite of what the word literally refers to) + male toxicity + Martin Heidegger + Max Horkheimer + Michel Foucault + Milo F. McDonald + misandry + moral relativism + mRNA ‘vaccines’ peddlers (they are not vaccines but genetic engineering experimentation on a planetary scale and with a Letter of Marqee) + multiculturalism + nazism + obamaphilia + Otto Kirchheimer + post-modernism + reparations + Richard Andrew Cloward + Saul Alinsky +

Siegfried Kracauer + SJW NPC + social justice + socialists +subjectivism + the Cloward Piven strategy + the Fabian Society + The Long March Through The Institutions + the whole “democratic” party + Theodor W. Adorno + transnazism + Walter Benjamin + white supremacy + woke (wokeism, wokeraty) + zersetzung (the East german Stasi version of ‘cancel culture’ by ANY means necessary) + “social credit score” (a la chicomm) + progressivism + personal pronouns + teach boys not to rape +

more than two genders + political correctness + The Weather Underground + Bill Ayers + Bernardine Dohrn + pedophilia normalization + Merriam-Webster Dictionary + the weaponization of opponents virtues + the usurped government of Venezuerica

and that’s not even close to all of it. I’m working on more.

Add to the above a rabid hatred of everything white, male, heterosexual, decent, normal, human, American and Western and the whims and the fee-feez and the boo-booz and the self-hatred and the inadequacies of its practitioners all of which mixes in a Macbeth witches cauldron and grows like a fungus on a fertile ground, changes all the time adapting to the weaknesses of their victims and grows more evil with every generation and allows us, normals, to paraphrase without a shadow of a doubt: something atrociously wicked this way comes: leftoxenomorphism.

I took “xenomorph” from the movie franchise “Alien” and added the “lefto”

“Xenomorph” translates to “strange form” from Greek xenos=strange and morphe=form.

It may be easier to see it as lefto – xeno – morph.

Leftist strange beings.

(a) By their own will having abandoned the human kind.
(b) Alien to human life.
(c) Utterly hostile to human life.

If you have known somebody before they became a leftoxenomorph and meet them afterwards, it is as frightening as meeting a Hitler’s Youth after the nazis brainwashed them.

The last sentence rings a chime with a lot of comments here and on other conservative sites.

The excellent young soprano Patricia Janecková has got some new tracks up on YouTube.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XLgsUn9vEM

Ms Janecková appears to have been partaking merrily of Knedlíky and other Czech delicacies during this past Plague Year. She’s manifesting a certain heftiness which she did not before. However does not seem to have harmed her singing one little bit.

Your real problem is the conceit that there is anything of value between your ears.

The DarkSide ransomware affiliate program responsible for the six-day outage at Colonial Pipeline this week that led to fuel shortages and price spikes across the country is running for the hills. The crime gang announced it was closing up shop after its servers were seized and someone drained the cryptocurrency from an account the group uses to pay affiliates.

“Servers were seized (country not named), money of advertisers and founders was transferred to an unknown account,” reads a message from a cybercrime forum reposted to the Russian OSINT Telegram channel.
…
The DarkSide message includes passages apparently penned by a leader of the REvil ransomware-as-a-service platform. This is interesting because security experts have posited that many of DarkSide’s core members are closely tied to the REvil gang.

The REvil representative said its program was introducing new restrictions on the kinds of organizations that affiliates could hold for ransom, and that henceforth it would be forbidden to attack those in the “social sector” (defined as healthcare and educational institutions) and organizations in the “gov-sector” (state) of any country. Affiliates also will be required to get approval before infecting victims.

The new restrictions came as some Russian cybercrime forums began distancing themselves from ransomware operations altogether. On Thursday, the administrator of the popular Russian forum XSS announced the community would no longer allow discussion threads about ransomware moneymaking programs.

“There’s too much publicity,” the XSS administrator explained. “Ransomware has gathered a critical mass of nonsense, bullshit, hype, and fuss around it. The word ‘ransomware’ has been put on a par with a number of unpleasant phenomena, such as geopolitical tensions, extortion, and government-backed hacks. This word has become dangerous and toxic.”

In a blog post on the DarkSide closure, cyber intelligence firm Intel 471 said it believes all of these actions can be tied directly to the reaction related to the high-profile ransomware attacks covered by the media this week.

And will most likely change names and resume operations when the heat is off.

Who knew cybercrime had its own rules and hierarchies? Kind of like the Mobs.

Here is how they operate.

Just like any personal services business.
