The number of times I actually laugh out loud reading your prose is either indicative of how much alike we think or the fact that we are both lost souls, only salvageable by the swift hand of wokeism and Marxism. Antiracism can clean up the mess and set us straight. Onward! Anyway, this quote really hits me in my soft spot. "There isn’t enough stupid in the universe to actually believe there was any health benefit to this." I beg to differ, and I am certain, almost beyond any doubt, that I can find a few of my friends and/or acquaintances who could find a way to defend wearing that mask with a hole in it. Follow the sciency-sounding bullshit!
Said it before. Will say it again. #WeAreSoScrewed
Hell, I might have already mentioned this, but I saw a YouTube where a "science podcaster" stated that face coverings, i.e., those bandanas that people wear, were something like "60% effective against Covid" or some incredible foolishness. Rob a stagecoach or protect yourself from a virus, with the same handy tool!
Isn’t it scary that all this crazy stuff people are writing about on substack is actually happening? You can avoid reading it here, but then you look at your child’s revised geography book or updated science text or the programming schedule at your local library— it’s impossible to avoid.
=== Some people thought this was a good idea. Presumably the same kind of people who hear “global boiling” and don’t giggle ===
The word you're avoiding is "women".
The scrutineers might also have accepted "midwits", despite the fact that a very large proportion of male midwits want nothing to do with this performative "Woke" bullshit.
That 6% lower median IQ, along with the 1-point lower standard deviation, makes for a whole mess of midwitesses; demographically they're the largest single cohort, and so they're electorally important.
SheBoomers, SheXers and SheZers are the Sardaukar for the ruling classes. Shelennials are too busy taking handfuls of Seroquel, crying over not being n the Cool Girl group, and pretending that they're going to off themselves (chance would b a fine thing).
Also, not for nothin': horoscopy, dream-catchers, "superfoods", celebrity gossip, crystals, sociology, "therapy", psychotropics . . . nobody would ever pretend that these are things in which white men play any important role - except as a charlatan/grifter on the supply side.
How many men d'you reckon ever bought - or read - any of the bilge written by the likes of Ibram X Kendi?
The Reverse Flynn Effect was already real, and women started from a lower base.
It won't be long before the median woman can't follow a recipe, or make a sandwich - but they will know how to put the right incons into the profiles on their "socials".
If you think *I* sound sexist, you should hear my beloved mother - who turns 80 in April 2024, and celebrates 60 years of marriage to my beloved father in Dec 2023. . . Dad's 80th was last Saturday, and he's as fit as a trout and as sharp as a whip - as is Mum.
They raised 5 kids - and none of us is a drug addict or alcoholic or mental-health case. None of us has ever been arrested; had a child taken by the State; denied paternity; had a house foreclosed or a vehicle repossessed; been the responsible party in a vehicle collision; lost a driver's licence; been expelled from school (I was suspended once).
In the olden days, that would have been non-newsworthy: pointing it out would have been considered slightly weird, because it just meant that the parents were DOING THEIR FUCKING JOB.
To top it off: we're "mixed race" (and I 'identify' as a Guided Missile Frigate, for rhetorical purposes).
That the secretary typing out the speech doesn't know to at least capitalise "Hell" or even the full phrase "The Gates of Hell" - not even in the french version of the transcript - speaks to the ongoing corruption: you simply do not get a job as a secretary at that level if you make mistakes like that.
The stilted style of the speech I can accept through gritted teeth, it's the modern style of bare-bones staccato-like duckspeak popularised since it makes for easy soundbites, but such a silly error?
I think I'll watch Atkinson's "Welcome to Hell"-skit of yore to calm down.
I’m late to the comments today being in California. Now, there are actually sensible people here. Unfortunately the loons way outnumber them. The shit these state and local politicians come up with is beyond description. At any rate I’ve started my day with a good laugh.
always nice to know im not alone in this crazy alt universe
Seconded. Rudolph, keep writing. You energise the rest of us to stand up to the madness.
I think I'm over-energised and going bonkers lol but reading RR helps to mitigate the condition.

The mask should have been fitted on the trombone bell.

You should lurv what the head-babbler of the UN croaked forth the other day:
"Humanity has opened the gates of hell."
Full speech:

Mad cow disease, but with two legs. This ludicrous speed merry go round can't hold out much longer.
