I'm glad my suggestion of "Cloister Culture" has held up as the runner-up.
Maybe I'll be able to make "Conservatively Correct" a thing, one of these days.
I do not know the continuation of the following guide, can it be used?
As you have so eminently cataloged, the genius of the GOP and its sh*tpile of enablers is they make anything the Democrats do seem proudly legit by virtue of seeming not completely crazy. Impossible to conceive of a more optimal system design for pooping on the working classes and making them think it's fresh flowers. What your work proves is endlessly expected though: the vast sector of the population that just enjoy being sh*t upon for the stink. But there are limits. Right now, Mike Pence and Liz Cheney are especially in tune with the need for a courtesy flush.
One thing that must always be remembered -- yet is almost never mentioned -- about Bari Weiss is that the only thing to which she devotes more time and energy than complaining about "cancel culture" and insisting that all opinions are equally valid and must be allowed to be heard, is canceling anyone who has the wrong (i.e., non-Bari-approved) opinions about Israel-Palestine, and ensuring that such opinions are not be allowed to be heard.
So as of today, the goddamn Republicans are publicly in favor of (them) hunting brown people for sport, and are calling violent insurrection legitimate political discourse.
And they are still likely to take control of at least one chamber of congress in the upcoming elections.
Seeing Zuckerberg lose thirty billion dollars made my fucking day.
My phone, that I was forced to buy when my carrier stopped supporting my old phone, which got fine reception in this room, is a Samsung Galaxy J7 Crown. It does not, in fact, get good enough reception in this room to make or receive a call, but can send a text if I stand next to the window. It did come with a Facebook app on it, but said app has never been launched, as I don't have a Facebook account.
Steve Schmidt tweeted some horse shit about awakening the furies, and it being Steve the fuck Schmidt, I read it as "furries"... and really, it still makes more sense that way.
Perhaps evil media morons named "Zuck" is some weird linguistic twist like California mayors named "Butt"...
Black Twitter was quite clear that the whole gratuitous use of the N word was a deal breaker with Joe Rogan way before he got caught playing with covid disinformation like it was a Kardashian rumor.
He just seems kinda dumb.
The Rude Pundit says that the country would be better off if Fergus was held for trial without bail, and even listed a bunch of reasons why, but in the end admitted that as true as it was, it still remained within the realm of fantasy.
Ask Junior Dude if he knows about the friend of Putin that the Ukrainian government has locked up, and whether he thinks that may be some of the explanation of "What does Putin want?" that the media has been so breathlessly obsessed with of late.
Thanks again for the podcast. The snow here started in early December and piled up between four and five feet, which has since compressed down to about a foot of hella treacherous ice.
Zsuzs bought me some spikes for my shoes for Christmas, and that's how I make it to her Subaru to go to town once a week.
Speaking of Zsuzs, her cat, Squeaker, former IKotW, had to have several cups of fluid drained from his middle Thursday, and she and Briana are down in Oakhurst having the vet look at him again today. The diagnosis was some kind of feline coronavirus, and they are trying to obtain some medicine that will supposedly save him. Wish them and him luck. She was pretty shook up about it, and I almost said something about him having internet immortality, but it seemed a bit soon for that.
