As someone who has passed through the Taba border crossing between Israel and Egypt multiple times, I can also assure you that borders are indeed very real.

Google search is getting worse and worse.
What a stupid company. Doesnโt do anything well.
I guess they own YouTube. Is there anything else they have going for them?

Yes. If you rearrange the letters in their name, you can spell “Oog Gel.”
Which just sounds funny.
Animai
Here’s a good (horrible?) example of female intrasexual competition. It’s a common one these days, where a woman claims that a man who likes any woman skinnier and more attractive than she is has engaged in “pedophilia.”
The fucking hilarious thing about it is that the object of her compeition is an AI anime character.
I’m no fan of that Grok anime woman but knowing how Japanese animation works, if she were “translated” into a real woman she’d be 21-23 years old. Not a child. Not even a teenager. A full-on adult woman.
That is why this is a darkly funny example of female intrasexual competition — except the competition isn’t even another woman. (And I have a friend in her 20s who has a nearly identical body shape to that Grok AI character. It’s not even that uncommon in countries without raging obesity epidemics.)

It’s just the usual degrowther bullshit.
AK News
An awful lot of those “Palestinian” “journalists” turn out to be doing most of their “journalism” with an AK-47 and some bombs. Because they’re working for Hamas and participated in October 7, many of them.
That’s a very different sort of “journalism” than most people’s definition.
Dating Berating
What is your experience with dating apps? Because this feels like swiping into the void.
It’s funny when women realize — which they rarely do — what dating as a man is like.
It’s the Great Silence. That is, if you’re not actively being belittled and made fun of, which is also common. Unfortunately for us all, social media and how modern dating works has reinforced the worst tendencies of women more than the worst tendencies of men, so we are where we are.
So glad I am not swimming in that cesspool but I write about it because I remember that hell. And it’s only gotten worse.
Social media has convinced mid-level women that they deserve the top 0.1% of men so that’s all they’ll accept. Which means most men get no interest from anyone at all.
In a way, it’s a return to historical norms. Which isn’t great for anyone, women included. No matter what they think about it.

Mastodon and Bluesky have some of the most sanctimonious self-satisfied sad sacks in the entire universe.
It’s almost worth spending more time in both places because it’s an unintentional comedy. Those doofs make Eeyore seem like Robin Williams in coked-up improv mode.
Vidco
According to Covidians, Covid is still having enormous hidden effects on health, welfare and society that somehow completely fail to show up in statistics, daily life, cross-country comparisons, anyone’s actual experiences or in anything measurable outside of confidently-conspiratorial pronouncements on Bluesky or brainless turd headquarters, Mastodon.
Isn’t that mysterious? Huh.
Sign Lang
The Covidians are really going apeshit now that Covid is barely a threat to anyone.
Interesting phenomenon sociologically, that as the threat recedes the diehards go full Koko.

The 2020s are not the 2010s…the cancel-power has shifted to the right. https://t.co/Etw34GeI9Q

This is a much more accurate take than the left/liberal asininely assclownish assertion a few years go that “cancel culture does not exist.” Of course it does and did! They were just happy because they were able to cancel people who they feel deserved it while experiencing no consequences themselves. So to them, it didn’t feel like a cancellation when they nuked somebody from orbit but rather, justice.
Now the pendulum has swung the other way as it always does, so it’s seen as a grave affront to truth and righteousness when even a minor cancellation of someone on their team occurs.
People are funny.
Grand IT
People complaining about email not reaching someone when they are not spelling the person’s name or email address correctly.
Gotta love it. Ain’t IT grand. Lordamercy.
Gen Bat
Kat’s right. Places that once were explicitly designed to help people meet for romantic purposes got converted by feminists into, “NO ONE SHOULD TALK TO ANY WOMAN HERE IT SHOULD BE ILLEGAL” spaces over the course of a couple of decades
I’m old enough to remember when many places and activities had either the implicit or often explicit (as in, it was in the actual marketing material) expectation that they were friendly to and often designed for both sexes to meet one another. However, PMC liberal women became so obsessed with keeping undesirable men away from them that these much-needed spaces were turned into yet another bomb-scarred gender battleground.
This extreme obsession is one that puzzles me, but I guess it was really important to them for some reason I fail to understand to this day.
Def Spend
It’s annoying to see liberal types carping and complaining about defense spending when you know they’ll be the first to cry like little tiny babies when (not if, when) Russia is rampaging across Europe in a few years.
It’s going to happen. And we’re not ready. But getting closer at least.
DK Effect
I hate this sort of know-nothing clownish crap. Medical practitioners absolutely should 100% be asking any female patient for this information always without exception no matter what as long as they are conscious. This is a quick attempt to check for:
1) Possible pregnancy. Many drugs can cause pregnancy complications and harm the fetus. Also lots of drugs can cause vastly different reactions when a woman is pregnant.
2) Anemia. Very common in women and very dangerous when conducting emergency medical treatment (and in general). No recent menses == very very high chance of anemia.
Anyone who does not ask an injured woman the last time she menstruated is engaged in actual fucking malpractice because if you get it wrong YOU HARM YOUR FUCKING PATIENT.
As for the poster, she is a goddamn idiot. It’s amazing people just post without knowing anything.
Down With the Lockness
Where I lived, it was more of a rolling, ever-changing lockdown condition.
The worst of it lasted 4-6 months, but even beyond that, gyms weren't allowed to operate normally or sometimes weren't allowed to be open at all. Certain services were shut down, some stores couldn'tโฆ https://t.co/jG6MdRBwr6 pic.twitter.com/M1loRedaTX

This disconnect is because leftists, liberals, Covidians and other associated clowns define lockdown as, “Armed thugs weld your door shut and arrest you if you leave the house.”
Everyone else has a better and more correct definition. Tell the kids who couldn’t go to school for two years and missed all their important life events that there was no lockdown. I know a woman whose daughter is still seething and enraged about that years later. Think she’ll vote for anyone who did that to her now that she’s an adult?
Lockdown wasn’t even that bad for us. We had a very pleasant place to live with a great view. And we actually like each other. But even with that, we didn’t eat out for 18 months. Many activities were restricted. Life was not normal at all. Just because there was no degrowther dream hard lockdown doesn’t mean a damn thing. It was still a bad time for everyone.
