There’s been a whole lot of bad news recently, but I was super excited this week to hear they’re doing a remake of An Officer and a Gentleman. Here’s the promo pic
Well, as the collapse comes several centuries after christianity becomes the state religion...
Long as they were polytheists and stuck to their own traditions, it worked just fine. When they got themselves a priest-class for the only game in town (what later becomes known as the Roman-Catholic church, formely known as the cult of Jupiter), a capitalist corporatist owner-class not ever having to risk life and limb achieving riches, power and fame, and became complacent in general, it went to Heck in a handbasket inside 200 years.
The US is what, 200 plus change? And you've started importing quite a few moslems, and they ain't lukewarm about their fatih let me tell you.
Speaking of gender-issues, this is apparently something that can happen nowadays:
"Incarcerated transgender woman Demi Minor impregnates two inmates at NJ prison" from the NYP, 17th of July.
While the actual text touches on several real issues re: incarceration, that headline really brings home that no matter jargon, -isms, norms, creeds and faiths - reality trumps everything.
And the reality is, if you have testes and penis and a Y-chromosome and the rest, you are a man. A male. A he. Doesn't matter what you call youself. Reality does not care about your conceit, wishful thinking or other.
Like I asked my wife's co-workers whn she was in academia, and my own when I was in the thick of it, and students and co-workers down the years: "Show me how to hammer a nail in a [value system] manner."
As everyone knows, there aren't any such manner, whether feminist or kosher, halal or christian or marxist.
That was funny! The times surely are strange. Paul Kingsnorth has an interesting take on things in his latest essay, which I happen to agree with. Has a paywall on substack hence not posting but some are free to read and the latest one maybe.
If only they had cameras in the late Roman Empire. That way we could compare and see exactly how far along we are to complete societal collapse.
Yes! People don’t realize how bad it was in these past civilizations.

Not that Europe is doing any better.
You remain the wind beneath my wings. 😊
Thanks for the laughs RP, much needed!
It's really a wonder Lia Thomas hasn't been approached by Victoria's Secret yet. Look at that cleavage!
Saved a few of those thanks!
Who is the other person in the picture? I’ve seen it in social media but have no idea where or why it was taken.

There's the right way, and the wrong way.
Your finest yet! Still laughing... Going to be a good day today.
Fancy that - a theoretical physicist who is a thousand times funnier than any of the woke 'comedians' going around.
Much appreciated, Mr. Pokery
Maybe make it a regular feature?
Thank you for the laughs.

Omg, I laughed so hard, thanks for the belly laughs. 😂
Getting sprayed by the cars driving by in the rain - not toxic masculinity. Grabbing women by the pussy without their consent - toxic masculinity.
