Frankly you're in no place to be going off at Jonas like that.

I'm hearing you think I act holier than thou. I think I communicate in a particular way than evokes a greater range of responses than most experience. It's certainly to be expected, if you knew enough about me. I don't think it's unreasonable that I don't elaborate to protect my vulnerability.

Now, Nich could completely expose me, but I wouldn't engage with him in this way if I didn't have some trust in his decency and in fact quite a lot. Of course, he may have completely forgotten what I'm about, he's got shit going on. Or maybe I overestimate any significance in our previous relationship.

What I know is esoteric, not easily communicated in this context. The short cut is to refer to what Nich knows about me. However I have also tried to both explain the appropriate way to engage with this content, and demonstrated it. I can't help if that's lost on you.

It's nice you're on Nich's side, at least I hope you are. But it's one way I'm a friend to those I care about. If their shit is stinking up the place, I'll tell them.

“I NEED TO CHECK YOUR THINKING” SAID THE ENGLISH POLICE OFFICER

He said, ‘You have to understand, sometimes in the womb, a female brain gets confused and pushes out the wrong body parts, and that is what transgender is. I replied, ‘You’ve got to be kidding me. Wrong body parts ? You have to know that is absolute bullshit. Is this really the official police line ?’ PC Gul said, ‘Yes, I have been on a course.’

I am enlightened.

What must happen to stop men from killing their wives and children?

Her idea, outlined in a column for the Sydney Morning Herald, was that during a separation, every man should have to undergo a mental health assessment and be scrutinised for signs of violence.

I don't think that this is very practical. Perhaps just those with a history of domestic call-outs or violence offences.

"I sat there on day one and I thought 'I'm listening to a whole bunch of chick scientists who, if you look at the view they were pitching, everybody in New Zealand should not shave their armpits . .. should whitebait in their jandals ... after they catch one patty for tea they should sit down, hold hands and sing Kumbaya'."

Heaven forbid that the men be supported or any research be done into why breakups are so painful for men that they literally go insane.

Trucking boss Stan Semenoff says NZTA crackdown fuelled by a vendetta

"Because of me, because I was former mayor, prominent number one in the north, Russian Māori boy ... I reacted, I fought back and the proof's in the pudding."

He claimed it was driven by a personal vendetta.

"It was driven by a little Māori girl that we had in NZTA and she's kicked it all off."

Rape shelter loses funding after trans rights activists complain


On February 26, the City of Vancouver voted not to renew funding for the Vancouver Rape Relief shelter — Canada’s oldest sexual assault crisis shelter. The shelter has provided trauma and outreach services for victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, incest, and sex trafficking since 1973.

The decision comes after an extended campaign by trans rights activists to have the City of Vancouver strip funding from the shelter in 2019, with some calling the rape crisis centre “transphobic.”

Collective Member Karla Gjini emphasised that Vancouver Rape Relief was intended to be a safe space for women to share their experiences and advocate against male violence against women.

“[Our work is based around] women coming together and talking truthfully about their experiences with male violence to find common ground and understand they are not alone.” Gjini said, “It’s important to have that common ground and shared experience.”

The shelter’s stance to keep its space male-free has resulted in a barrage of hatred from trans rights activists, who have vandalised the rape relief’s building on multiple occasions.

In August of 2019, Vancouver Rape Relief’s storefront was spray painted with the words “KILL TERFS” and “TRANS WOMEN ARE WOMEN.” A dead, rotting rodent was nailed to the door.

I don't get a lot of external emails due to excellent SPAM filtering, but I just got an industry one from a mega-woke Govt department that includes preferred pronouns in the signature block.

The same day that I got the comment that a user gets a little miffed when the text to speech voicemail transcriber sometimes misinterprets her two syllable name as a mans name and the start of a sentence, but she can handle it. "Ray, when..."

Cancelled white unperson J.K. Rowling checks in from on top of her pile of money:

@jk_rowling
If sex isn’t real, there’s no same-sex attraction. If sex isn’t real, the lived reality of women globally is erased. I know and love trans people, but erasing the concept of sex removes the ability of many to meaningfully discuss their lives. It isn’t hate to speak the truth.

I'm a bit lost. What sex is JKR finding herself unable to have?

[Ab]

Presumably she's referring to the phenomenon of lesbians being attacked as transphobic because they are attracted to female bodies. Because a biological male may self-identify as a woman yet be regarded as unattractive by lesbians, therefore violence.

[Lightspeed]

So... JKR is sitting around churning up how different people might be attracted to each other and the rules of how that might work? Like Pokemon but more focus on the genitals?

[fixed_truth]

Sounds like she's doing the old straw men and stereotyping based on a very small subgroup line.

[Ab]

there's no such thing as men, transphobe

We can't be blind to racism': Māori Party seek review of historical monuments

Ngarewa-Packer said many statues erected were glorifying acts of rape and murder.

"They weren't put there to remember history, they were put their to glorify and to assert their stamp on the land and that stamp's no longer acceptable."

I wonder what this inquiry would involve and how or if we should consider the context of when these people lived?

[Ab]

I for one am sensitive to the sentiment, and lord knows a lot of places have shitty monuments and names that commemorate shitty things and shitty people, but man that's a can of worms.

The Left is eating itself, cont:

David Shor is a 28-year-old political data analyst and social democrat who worked for President Obama’s reelection campaign. On May 28, Shor tweeted out a short summary of a paper by Princeton professor Omar Wasow. The research compiled by Wasow analyzed public opinion in the 1960s, and found violent and nonviolent protest tactics had contradictory effects. Shor’s synopsis was straightforward:

Outcome: Shor was accused of "anti-blackness" by an activist for suggesting that violent protest was not the greatest thing since sliced bread. Complaints ensued to the CEO of his employer. Snowflake employees at the data analytics company he worked at claimed that Shor's support of nonviolent protest was making them feel unsafe. I'm going to say that again. Shor's support of nonviolent protest was making them feel unsafe.

Of course Shor got purity spiralled, made a grovelling twitter apology affirming his deep love of Big Brother, and got fired anyway.

But hey look on the bright side: at least the left no longer has to count a data scientist from Obama's successful reelection team among its ranks in an election year amirite

BBC has removed Fawlty Towers episode: The Germans because too racist.

https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-53020335

TIL Germans are a race!

To quote Zizek:

The german hard rock band Rammstein are often accused
of flirting and playing with nazi militaristic iconography
But if one observers
closely their show one can see very nicely
what they are doing, exemplarily in one of their best known songs
"Reise reise".
The minimal elements of the nazi ideology enacted by Rammstein
are something like pure elements
of libidinal investment.
Enjoyment has to be as it were condensed
in some minimal ticks, gestures which do not have precise
ideological meaning.
What Rammstein does
is it liberates these elements
from their nazi articulation.
It allows us to enjoy them
in their pre-ideological state.
The way to fight nazism
is to enjoy these elements, ridicoulous as they were here, by suspending
the nazi horizon of meaning.
This way you undermine nazism from within.
