Suppose Evil

Unless the men in question are actively pursuing children or starveling refugees, it's safe to read ~any female critique of male tastes as being 50-100% XX intra-sexual competition.

"Oh – you like fit submissive women who will have SEX with you?! Oh?! I know what you are!!!"…

Yep. Once you realize all the supposedly “evil” things men do like have a gf a few years younger or actually like women is all about female intrasexual competition, you stop giving a crap.

Because it isn’t about you. It’s about some woman trying to disadvantage another woman. Same with “passport bros” and “all men are rapists” and all that. All intrasexual competition.

Just ignore it.

I think this says more about Memphis than the troops.

Notice thst the thieves- street whispers say Vice Lords – were able to successfully drive the tanks away. https://t.co/W1CQlhLAEr

Tanks and APCs don’t have keys. They have switches and ignition sequences. But if you can get inside one and know how, you can start it and drive away.

No keys required.

I used to get so much grief back in the day for telling SJWs trying to cancel people that this was a mistake — that one day the country could shift rightward and then they'd be the ones getting cancelled. And now it's happening.

As predictable as the sunrise.

But oh the screeching when anyone said this back in 2018…..

Cancel a Shun

Well, one of the reasons people like me were against cancel culture (which, laughably, libs at the time claimed didn’t even exist) is because we knew when the conservatives got into power again, they’d use it even more effectively than the liberals did.

And now here we are. Just as predicted.

Tahoe

Because I like pain I guess, I “ugpraded” to Mac OS Tahoe. Though it’s not as bad as I expected, the interface is a lot worse. But it’s also kind of cozy, because it reminds me of CDE.

Yes, it’s that clunky and inelegant. I think the font rendering is also a little worse — which is too bad. Mac OS used to have the best fonts for a while there, but now Linux does if you tweak it.

Apple gets further and further away from what Jobs intended, unfortunately.

Choices/Consequences

WTF is happening in Germany?!

Germany announced 125,000 industrial job cuts in 6 weeks.

Putting that into perspective… If the U.S. got hit at the same rate, that’s like ~300,000 factory jobs or ~500,000 total jobs gone in a month and a half.

Picture every factory worker in…

— Amanda Goodall (@thejobchick) September 16, 2025

Extremely high energy costs and unable to complete with China. A bad, bad combination caused by terrible choices Germany made over the past couple of decades.

Human writers have always used the em dash.

Indeed. I have been using the em dash since at least around 1984-85 when I started writing long form in earnest. Why would you not? It’s a useful bit of punctuation.

I don’t give a shit if someone thinks my writing is AI or not.
