Ozzy Man does with his voice as Katelyn does with her body – made for each other 🙂
Wish it weren’t so, but it’s looking Increasingly as though Dershowitz—with his desperate, if nonetheless apt (though some would call it obvious) warning to the Democratic Party—is, himself, fulfilling the stock definition of “insanity”… https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/17915/democrats-self-inflicted-wound
NASCAR is fercachte, and data modeling for the College Football Playoff Selection Committee is in the trembling hands of the Detroit Board of Elections.
Fuck all that shit. From now on it’s Ozzy Man all the way, all the time. Cancel ESPN.
Also, marry me, Neo.
that routine belongs in a strip club, not a gymnastics competition. and a body made to carry water jugs…
I stopped watching TV, except for movies, years ago and I was fed up with the Olympics and their talking heads two decades ago. I was interested in the events and had no desire to know that Suzy Q the cute athlete in a tight outfit that left know doubt about her gender was raised by her one eyed midget, grandmother who made living as a bounty hunter and other strange background stories with the talking never ceasing and from time to time actual footage of an event.
Women’s gymnastics changed 49 years ago when delightful Olga Korbut amazed and amused the world. My son was being born that night and in the labor room the OBGYN doc and I were talking about how great Olga was while my wife was trying to tell us it was time to have a baby, that was an interesting evening.
Now this little delightful bit of woman is amazing with her combo gymnastics, circus acrobatics and funny strip club act and my eyeballs will never be the same. I guess it has taken us almost 50 years to go from delightful to frightful as we watch the current young ladies perform. Oh well, kind of fits in the the rest of the wold since 2020.
Amazing. Too bad we can’t hear the music she was using for her routine. She was really enjoying herself.
Across the pond, it’s Guy Fawkes Night! “Remember, remember, the fifth of November, Gunpowder treason and plot! . . .”
(note the music at 3:50: it’s “The Star-Spangled Banner”!)
Perhaps the most lasting legacy of the Gunpowder Plot is the use of “guy” as an informal term for “person” or “fellow”: as an online etymology source has it, “guy”
= “fellow,” 1847, American English; earlier, in British English (1836) “grotesquely or poorly dressed person,” originally (1806) “effigy of Guy Fawkes,” leader of the Gunpowder Plot to blow up British king and Parliament (Nov. 5, 1605). The effigies were paraded through the streets by children on the anniversary of the conspiracy. The male proper name is from French, related to Italian Guido.
Of course, now that we have mask mandates everywhere, all those Guy Fawkes masks from “V for Vendetta” can be usefully recycled. You can buy one for about $9 on Amazon.
Tim Pool describes his harrowing bout with covid last weekned here. Long story short: He’s only 35 and in good health (according to him anyway), and he had a very difficult experience with it. After suffering a few days he ended up doing the “kitchen sink” treatment (monoclonal antibodies, z-pak, ivermectin ect.) and he says he recovered pretty quickly after that. He credits advice from his friend Joe Rogan to get a second opinion, and I guess Rogan also covered the treatment costs for him too.
First, God bless Tony Kinnett, District Science Coordinator & Instructional Coach at Indianapolis Public Schools.
Second, Ace at Ace of Spades has done a very good job of addressing critical race theory education in schools in this post: http://acecomments.mu.nu/?post=396331
I really think this is something that can be shared far and wide to blow the lid off of the nonsense on this topic. Ace runs a very slanted, hilarious and often crude blog. He typically does not pull any punches, but this post is pretty much statement of fact for the first 2/3. If you don’t feel comfortable sharing a post from Ace of Spades on your social media, I recommend copying and pasting up through the video of Tony Kinnett. Stop at: “On Tucker Carlson last night, his (sic) same teacher pointed out…” and don’t include that sentence or anything that follows.
Ace is very intelligent and logical, as well as a polymath. His blog is intended for fellow travelers, so he also infuses a lot of humor and vitriol, but this particular post is not only extremely thorough, it’s also soundly argued up through the section I mentioned. Simply seeing the names “Tucker Carlson or Jessie Waters” will stifle meaningful discussion or debate with many, so leave that bottom section out if you want to share with a wide audience.
Ace uses the phrase, “Sokal squared hoax.” Folks who live in a Leftist, main stream media* echo chamber will likely miss that reference and it’s a good one. Understanding it will go a long way to understanding Ace’s point about the lack of academic rigor or intelligence required to grasp CRT.
If you receive any pushback or interest in debate from folks on your social media Chris Rufo has lot of great facts and resources on his site: https://christopherrufo.com/
And Bari Weiss has written some good pieces on her substack: https://bariweiss.substack.com/ Unlike Chris Rufo, Ms. Weiss is engaged to a woman, was a NYT journalist and has a degree in journalism from Columbia University, where she founded the Columbia Coalition for Sudan. In other words, she checks a lot of boxes Lefty’s like, so that give her some credence with folks on your social media who wish to challenge you on CRT.
*Michael Malice insists on using the term, “Corporate media” rather than main stream media or MSM to refer to media. I agree with him that we should use that phrase. It is much more accurate. They are not main stream and they exist to serve corporate interests, not the public.
I refer to the media as the MFM, I think you can read between the lines.
Remember, remember
The fifth of November
The gunpowder treason and plot
I can think of no reason
The gunpowder treason
Will ever be forgot
Let’s go Brandon!
rcat–
The fifth of November is turning out to be a very bad joke, what with a bomb threat reported this afternoon at Yale– and I live in New Haven. We were just treated to one of the mayor’s blast phone calls not 5 minutes ago (the guy just loves to phone the citizenry on a regular basis about everything from the latest COVID-19 mandate to street sweeping schedules), asking everyone to stay away from the downtown because some local nutcase threatened to blow up several university buildings. So I gather downtown New Haven is swarming with everyone from the ATF folks and the FBI to the CT State Police and the university police force. It’s probably a hoax but who knows, and I have no idea whether the attention seeker who did this is thinking about the historical significance of November 5 in the UK.
So maybe we need a new rhyme:
Remember, remember the fifth of November,
A threatened Yale bombing and plot,
It’s a pretty good reason–
Consider the season–
It’s why Brandon should not be forgot.
Yes, Let’s Go Brandon!
The Conservative Treehouse reports that the FIB anf Deep State’s DC arm in NYC, the DOJs Southern District of Manhattan, has raided homes of Veritas Project journalists, cheered in by the Lying NYT.
The CT claims credit in predicting this after Tuesday’s elector rebuke, arguing that the best of vipers would turn even more vicious against their enemy, the people of the middling sort.

I enjoyed watching that gymnastic routine. Not only was that young woman demonstrating some amazing moves she was clearly having a great time doing it.

I would say that if you think that routine belongs in a strip club, you lead a very sheltered life. 😀
In other news, the RINO (literally) law-and-order candidate for Seattle city attorney won over the “misdemeanors? what are those?” looney prog candidate, and the law-and-order do-something-about-the-homeless moderate Democrat candidate for mayor won over the looney prog candidate.
Most places this would not be a big thing, but in Seattle this is YUGE.
(Catching up after spending a week in Anchorage. My father finally passed away after an 18-month dementia-related decline (he was 94) and I had to go up and take care of the funeral and other matters. Anchorage, btw, was like a breath of fresh air compared to Seattle: no vaccine checks, and a completely unenforced mask mandate.)
Bryan Lovely–
Condolences on your father’s passing!
@ Bryan,
Condolences in the loss of your father.
It seems a number if us have lost Greatest Generation war vet fathers in their nineties, in the last year or two.
The generally no-nonsense, taking care of business attitude of these men, and their confidence in their own lives, is in stark contrast with the whiny frivolity, learned helplessness, and self-pity of many in the succeeding generations.
Of course if you grow up as many now do, being taught that maleness and self-direction, are synonymous with rape and depraved antisocial indifference, and that you ought to preemptively sabotage yourself, then perhaps the contrast becomes more understandable.
Thank you Bryan Lovely for sharing your life and insights, and news of your father. My mom passed in 2012 but of a more unusual dementia, short term memory loss and lack of will or need to eat food.
We all are growing older, wondering what kind of death awaits us, don’t we? We honor our losses, quietly acknowledging what may come too swiftly.
I flew two-thirds of the way around the world to land in your fair (but crazed) city, Seattle. In a month or so, I’m homesick for Auckland, even with lockdown there and the mad denial it entails (but missing the earlier carefree, virus free times, all the same).
Thanks for your insight (implicitly) on the Lenin statue’s relevance to local governance. I’m amazed at their idiot hypocrisy.
Finally, Tyler Cowan’s column for Bloomberg beats the drum that the telework shock, or the teleshock that jobs can be done at a distance during the pandemic, will continue to increase. Big business and the consumer will benefit, while small business will decline. (Nothing here I want to hear.)
I hope he’s wrong, and he faces pushback by commenters saying this is old school thinking that’s no longer relevant to, for instance, IT and tech jobs.
Tyler sums it, “If you have had a relatively comfortable job during the pandemic, it might now be time to worry.
“The more culturally specific your knowledge and skills, however, the more protected you will be. Doing math and writing code are universal skills. But if you are a wedding consultant, even an online wedding consultant, you’re probably not going to lose business to a competitor from Zimbabwe, no matter how sharp. On the whole, more people will end up in jobs that feel very “American,” for lack of a better word.”
Many replies cute specific experiences proving the opposite. How limited might these warnings be.
Tom Meadowcroft sums up the counter-argument with a specific limitation, job tasking and language inabilities: “So here’s the problem with the telework revolution hypothesis. For telework to be efficient, managers and customers hiring people to work at a distance must write coherent and largely correct specifications for their employees/contractors to work on at a distance. But that rarely if ever happens. Much of the time spent at work is in the iterative process of cleaning up poor specifications/instructions and the non-functional product that they produce. That iterative work requires intensive cooperation which is facilitated by working the same hours in the same space. It’s all about communication, and communication suffers with distance. Even the best Zoom meeting is not as productive as two people sitting together at a desk, painfully working out why the two of them think they’re talking about the same problem, but keep producing incompatible solutions. That’s what work is mostly about, and it doesn’t work as well at a distance.”
Collaborative process work is thus, highly valuable. Cities are entirely about overcoming just this limitation.
Thank you. It was not unexpected, but inevitably a surprise when it actually happens. And I did most of my grieving after the last trip in April when he no longer recognized me as his son.
In any case:
The generally no-nonsense, taking care of business attitude of these men, and their confidence in their own lives, is in stark contrast with the whiny frivolity, learned helplessness, and self-pity of many in the succeeding generations.
What’s crazy is that my dad had this ridiculously adventurous life, what with growing up poor in the Depression, going to the Philippines in the Army, graduating from Stanford, exploring the SW USA and then the Yukon for oil, flying a small plane all over Alaska including all the way down to Mexico, starting his own business, etc. etc. etc., but he told me a few years ago that he admired me for being one of those universally competent men who could learn and do anything he set his mind to, like his father had been.
