Two things to bitch about tonight

First, remember the show Frazier?  It ran into the standard "It went on for about two years too long" problem for successful shows, but I liked it.  And a name he mentioned, in his "I went to Harvard, so you should pay attention!" bits on a couple of shows mentioned a guy name Michel Foucault as a Prominent Philosopher.  Which I didn't really care about, until I saw some background, after which I wondered(at the time I didn't realize just what asshats academics and philosopher types could be*) why the hell this guy was looked up to.  

Then the other day saw a link to a more full background, which includes the bastard being a child rapist.  Which still leaves "Why does ANYONE give the shithead respect?"


The other is a clown called Macklemore, who doesn't like Jews and various other non-progressive-approved people and took part of his act at a show to spout off.  Which got him uninvited to come back, he's been shrieking "CENSORSHIP!", with some other acts running off to kiss his ass.  It has, however, in this case bitten him  in the ass, and hopefully the ass of every one of the "We can say what we want, you're not allowed to have a problem with it!" ass-kissers.

I do hope this follows them for quite a while; bastards have earned it.

*In the 'SPQR' novels, set in the late years of the Roman Republic, the main character once observed that most philosophers would be better used doing something useful, like herding geese.  

Whenever a German politician speaks of hygiene, run the other direction

and get your military prepared to respond. Nothing good can come from it.

Especially when they say things like this:
Chancellor Friedrich Merz (CDU) has once again spoken out in favor of a mandatory real-name requirement on the internet. During a meeting with winners of the national competition Jugend forscht (Youth Research) in Berlin, he reaffirmed his position.

"Please, nobody come to me with 'free speech,'" Merz said, according to report details. "This has nothing to do with free speech anymore." He added that such a view is, at best, a "libertarian understanding of politics" stemming from parts of the United States, which he personally does not share.

Merz emphasized that a liberal society must be able to protect its citizens—including protection "against false information, personal disparagement, and discrimination."
'Protect its citizens' meaning "We have to keep them from hearing unapproved information, and thinking there's something wrong with the government telling them how to live!  We must have proper order, and that means keeping people from hearing just anything that we might not approve of!"

Yeah,  Like politicians in Australia want the law to prevent people making fun of them.  Very important, that is, much more important than some idiot 'free speech' idea.

Y'know, Ronald Reagan was derided as being delusional, an idiot,

"He's pushing 'Star Wars' nonsense as if it could be real!" and so forth.

Right now an awful lot of media won't talk about this.  For some reason.

And, oddly, not a mention of lasers or similar that could disable a satellite without destroying it.  Hmmm....

Someday: "Sir, Dump Truck 3 is deploying nets and magnetic scoopers, they'll have it cleaned up fairly quickly."

One of the assholes very popular on the left

is Piker.  He's a communist, he greatly tolerates terrorism committed by leftists, and he hates the US.

And yet here he stays.  It's almost like he's found something about this place that he likes.  Possibly just the fact that being such a piece of shit doesn't get him run out on a rail, maybe not.

Added: let's not forget that he really pushes El-Sayed for Congress, though currently that equally asshat is trying to put some distance between them.  You'd think he doesn't think being a lying bastard claiming racism is something he worries won't go well.  Much like his fondness for some people who are happy with abuse of kids and women.

There's a lady named Sydney Sweeney who's managed to piss of the left enormously,

and seems to be making good money doing it.  To borrow from this guy's response to the question,

And she looks like this while doing it

Hoorah, lady, keep it up.


Personal note: I'd say could take it easier on the eye makup

Yeah, pretty much

A threat at the very least, and probably more of one than AI.  


Throw in the socialists, who demand 'THOSE people' pay their 'fair share', while wanting to avoid paying their own damn bills.

It appears that ShakespeareChaucer* knew the power of fat-bottom girls

 

Thus old-time proof of what makes the world go round

*Yes, it was Chaucer, and I knew that.  But for some reason Shakespeare came out

Most of them still don't hide it,

and are shocked when they find out it's a problem

to tell everyone "I want a bunch of people murdered because they disagree with me!"

This includes the shitheads who want a juror doxxed and ruined because he didn't vote the way they wanted.  Which seems to include the defense attorney(hey, State Bar and the Judge, you gonna do anything?), other jurors, and a bunch of people who'd be seriously bothered if someone did the same crap to them..

We've got a Democrat politician acting like a nazi and then comparing herself to Jesus when it blows up in her face.

No, I'm not joking about Jesus, she actually said that.  But somehow she doesn't remember calling for a terrorist attack in the US on conservatives.

Mr. Orr sent me a piece on someone I hadn't heard of before, Roger Scruton,

about his work in eastern Europe in the cause of freedom.  Worth reading.

I wrote about the Garmin Xero a while back,

Widener's did a comparison between it and the new Athlon chronograph.

Let it not be forgotten that socialists like Occasional-Cortex are liars,

and will lie any time they think they can get away with it.  And lots of Professional Journalists want to help them do it.

Just like the enemy is in the public schools

Every time I see some idiot riding a wheelie down the road

I expect I'm about to see the same thing.  Or they'll hit someone else, or lose it and go off the road.

Dumbasses.

And remember, he knows more than most college graduates seem to think

 

And now, to clear some space,

Believe it or not, this 'toon just came up first when I posted on this date

And once again, now below should you choose to go,
