					<description><![CDATA[@ Neo &#062; &quot;There is no truth except the subjective wishes of Kamala Harris concerning how she would like to be perceived by others. So if she decided to say that she’s wearing a yellow suit, so be it.&quot;

@ huxley - have you gotten around to watching Shakespeare&#039;s &quot;The Taming of the Shrew&quot; yet? (I&#039;m fond of the Burton-Taylor production; from Zeffirelli, of course.)

Why is that relevant to this post?
So glad you asked!
https://shakespeare.folger.edu/shakespeares-works/the-taming-of-the-shrew/act-4-scene-5/
&lt;blockquote&gt;
PETRUCHIO 
Good Lord, how bright and goodly shines the moon!
KATHERINE 
The moon? The sun! It is not moonlight now.
PETRUCHIO 
I say it is the moon that shines so bright.
KATHERINE 
I know it is the sun that shines so bright.
PETRUCHIO 
Now, by my mother’s son, and that’s myself,
It shall be moon, or star, or what I list,
Or e’er I journey to your father’s house.
To Servants. Go on, and fetch our horses back
again.—
Evermore crossed and crossed, nothing but crossed!
HORTENSIO, to Katherine 
Say as he says, or we shall never go.
KATHERINE 
Forward, I pray, since we have come so far,
And be it moon, or sun, or what you please.
And if you please to call it a rush candle,
Henceforth I vow it shall be so for me.
PETRUCHIO I say it is the moon.
KATHERINE I know it is the moon.
PETRUCHIO 
Nay, then you lie. It is the blessèd sun.
KATHERINE 
Then God be blest, it is the blessèd sun.
But sun it is not, when you say it is not,
And the moon changes even as your mind.
What you will have it named, even that it is,
And so it shall be so for Katherine.
HORTENSIO 
Petruchio, go thy ways, the field is won.

&lt;/blockquote&gt;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The Powerline post Neo quoted was updated later by Scott: &quot;The White House has posted the text of Harris’s remarks here. She was speaking at a roundtable with disability advocates. I take it that the descriptions of attire were for those who could not see. Putting the personal pronoun shtick to one side, the weirdness of her remarks can really be seen in her observance of the abortion sacrament in this context.&quot;

And his final sentence was amplified here:
https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2022/07/who-was-that-masked-woman.php

&lt;blockquote&gt;Harris was observing the anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act and speaking at a roundtable with “disability advocates.” I take it from the context that her self-description was for those who literally could not see. Even in this context, however, Harris managed to direct her focus to the sacrament of abortion:
&lt;blockquote&gt;
And so I’ve asked these leaders to come in so that we can discuss these issues and pay attention to the fact that the Dobbs decision and the act of the United States Supreme Court to take away a constitutional right, that had been recognized, from the people of America will impact a lot of people and differently in some situations. And we need to be responsive to these issues and also lift up the voices of all people who will be impacted and the way that they will be impacted.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Etc., etc., ad nauseam. Harris’s remarks made me wonder how the “disability advocates” feel about the abortion of babies because of their disabilities.
&lt;/blockquote&gt;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[}}} &lt;i&gt;then accuse that person of sexually assaulting you (and the accused person identifies as a man), then that person is guilty and can even be kicked out of college on the basis of your accusation, without any objective proof and even if the objective evidence (texts, for example) would otherwise tend to exonerate him. If someone – anyone – on the left takes offense at something you say, you better apologize to that person.&lt;/i&gt;

I honestly, truly want to see some college-aged guy reverse this, and accuse a girl of having raped him while he was drunk... and then sue the university for violating his civil rights when they attempt to blow it off, as they almost certainly will. As long as he said &quot;No, stop&quot; at any point during the engagement, she&#039;s raping him by their standards. And even if he didn&#039;t he was still drunk, and unable to provide rational consent.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[My guess is that this got started because people were wearing masks and it was hard to see who is speaking.  Another speculation was that with video conferencing, describing oneself and one&#039;s clothing directed attendees to the right speaker, so you knew who was saying what.  

Such self-description came to be seen as something done for blind or visually impaired people, something analogous to closed captions or sign language interpretation for the deaf or hard of hearing, but of course if you are blind, you don&#039;t see the blue suit and if you are blind from birth, you may not even understand what &quot;blue&quot; means.]]></description>
