Jews and homosexuals are no longer safe in Berlin and should hide their identity in certain neighborhoods, Berlin police chief Barbara Slowik has claimed.In a wide-ranging interview with Berliner Zeitung about security risks, anti-Semitic danger zones in Berlin, and the effects of austerity measures on police work, Slowik warned that the German capital has become less tolerant in areas with high Arab populations and the police have insufficient resources to tackle the problem.While she maintained that Berlin is “as safe as many other cities in Germany and safer than some other European capitals,” Slowik admitted

There’s a meme floating around, having to do with passengers and pilots, being circulated by people who think it’s a devastating response to those who question the automatic acceptance of Experts and Authority. My response & discussion here:

with Germany, it’s al hijra, a peculiar thing to do penance for mistreatment of the jews, they imported the most theologically antisemitic cohort this is the same for most of Western Europe,
Tried 2 guitars yesterday at GC: Epiphone, and a clearance Gibson going for $799. Liked them both, though the Gibson definitely had the better sound. No PRS available to try. One thing threw me off is that they all had size 10 strings where I use 9s, so the action felt way off to me but I knew it was the strings. Search goes on.

Something weird happened in Columbus OH over the weekend: thirteen people “marched” along the sidewalk in the Short North — an artsy neighborhood with galleries and such — dressed in black, with red skull masks, and carrying large black flags with large red swastikas on them.
I watched videos, and the whole event seemed…. weird.
My guess: Some idiot doing a”guerrilla film shoot” because he couldn’t get permission (or afford to get permission.)
What I found very interesting about it is that the about half the people who expressed righteous indignation over thirteen idiots, didn’t give a rat’s tuchus about the “demonstrations” at the OSU campus “in solidarity with the Palestinians” — that were full of swastikas and anti-Semitic signage and targeting Jews for particular hatred.
Over in the yahoo news comments section the left is all in on the ” Trump loves the uneducated” because of the talk about dismantling the Department of Education.
Every person living that graduated from High School prior to 1980 did so without a Federal Department of Education.
There was one brief version of DOE after the Civil War.
The title “Pirates of Penzance” has a sort of lost joke; Penzance then was a popular beach resort for middle-class people, and so you’re obviously not going to find actual pirates there. Not sure what the American equivalent would be today; Pirates of Myrtle Beach, Pirates of Santa Monica? (I visit beaches frequently, since I live near them, but not resort towns, so I wouldn’t know.)
But there’s a second jab in the title, at American copyright law; Gilbert and Sullivan operas were frequently pirated, and so they opened “Pirates of Penzance” in America so that for once they could get a first crack at some of the money.
Just another open-thread comment about something I read someplace else.
A week ago, Jean Twenge wrote a substack essay entitled “Why more young men voted for Trump” (https://tinyurl.com/bdfy56ss).
It’s a quick read, and it’s based on data that’s probably as good as we can get.
The graphs are especially helpful.
Here’s the first paragraph:
“In an election full of surprises, one of the biggest was the voting shift among young men. They favored Biden by 15 points in 2020 but went for Trump by 13 points in 2024. That’s a swing of 28 percentage points, an extraordinarily large shift in a political landscape where races are often decided by a few percentage points.”
Niketas:
Very interesting. It’s funny — for the looooooongest time, I did not realize the “Penzance” was a real place. I mean it was just this year, when I started binge watching “Doc Marten.”
I hate Myrtle Beach, so I think “Pirates of Hilton Head” might be more apt. I don’t like Hilton Head either, but Myrtle Beach is soooooo…. crappy, except for nice beaches. Hilton Head is more upscale. And less crap-filled.
My aunt gave my sister a Christmas present of an album of the
D’Oyly Carte version of The Mikado. I liked it, so made a request of Gilbert and Sullivan for my birthday. My father got me albums of H.M.S. Pinafore, Princess Ida, Yeoman of the Guard, Pirates of Penzance, and Ruddigore. I played them a lot. Tom Lehrer and Gilbert and Sullivan gave me a good grounding in satirical songs.
A neighbor who was a great punster was a big fan of Gilbert and Sullivan and the Marx Brothers. Great minds think a lot.
Niketas Choniates, Charles Dickens also had a big problem with American pirating. His making money of his readings in public must have been an attempt to deal with that pirating. His American Notes discussed this. He liked Boston, but did not like slavery nor did he like our copyright laws.

There’s an old movie, starring Kim Novak and Jack Lemmon, that’s a zany comedy and the locale is the UK. At the end of the film there are some antics on the coast of Penzance. The actual filming location was the Point Lobos State Park not too far from where I live in CA. I’ve hiked there on a number of occasions. I have no idea how similar it is to the actual area of Penzance.
The Notorious Landlady (1962)
Seattle area recovering from a “bomb cyclone”. Won’t know about my own property damage until tomorrow. Issaquah-Hobart road which I need to use has about six miles blocked by downed trees.
Bomb cyclone
“ a rapidly developing severe storm in which barometric pressure at its center drops by at least 24 millibars over a 24-hour period at or north of 60? latitude”
Breibart
“ Intense winds smashed the Pacific Northwest on Wednesday morning as a strengthening low-pressure storm system, known colloquially as a “bomb cyclone,” moved in from the Pacific Ocean leaving chaos and at least one person dead in its wake along with mass power outages.
The rare storm system combines heavy rain with high wind to create what scientists call as an “atmospheric river.”
The phenomenon also known as “bombogenesis” could intensify so rapidly in the Pacific Northwest over the next 24-hours it has the potential to become a “triple-bomb” three times the strength of a regular bomb cyclone, according to the National Weather Service (NWS) in San Francisco.
The NWS has issued excessive rainfall risks starting running through to Friday because of the powerful storm expected to pummel northern California and the Pacific Northwest.

Last night I was with a medium small group of my newer friends for an event. It’s blessedly true that nearly all of my social groups stay away from politics. With most of these folks it becomes apparent that they are on the left, but there are a couple “conservatives” (for lack of a better word) here and there. And a few, where I just don’t know one way of the other.
When the question arose, “Who is the new leader of the US Senate?” No one knew, except for me, because they were all so depressed that they were staying away from any political news. I guess the last one or two uncertainties were resolved. Everyone in this group is on the left.
It’s a rather dark piece. The author has projections concerning the near future, and has some advice near the end. He describes a large minority of people who are so radicalized that he believes that they will cause great disruptions.
I’ve become more sensitized to impact of large sums of money supporting these activities on the left.
Aided and abetted by social media and rich liberal donors, Democrats will embark on a crusade to topple the orange man and strip power from or character assassinate any of his supporters. Their actions will make Occupy Wall Street, Seattle’s Chop (Capitol Hill Occupied Protest) and Black Lives Matter look like a 1950s 4th of July parade on Main Street.
Yes, rich liberal donors. The more muscular and impactful aspects of these activities always seem to cost a lot of money. Without it, I suspect it would mostly wither away.
Great post and some really good comments. I think your third point is especially relevant to a nation of free individuals. Even experts need to keep their minds open to the possibility that the current paradigm is not the situation they trained for.
I had not seen that curtain, but I found it idiotic on surface, without reading your take down or the comments. It’s such an immature, “cartoonish” interpretation of people who question authority.
The Boomer generation… They were all for sharing the wealth until they started to get some, then they became rabid capitalists.
They were all about questioning authority until they got political power, now it’s “step in line, peasants.”
Forget who I heard say it, but I find it very apt and will use it often in reference to President DTJ: The Tribune of the Plebs.
