Sorry, I’ve been told that sexism is JUST as bad in the West as it is in Moslem societies, so she’s basically just out of the frying pan, into the fire, now.

B-bu-but, I’ve been told my so many very, very well-informed internetpersons that wearing a headscarf ensures that women in Moslem societies are treated decently and equitably and that the overall wonderful progressive equalness of Moslem societies is SO much better than the nasty sexism of the West! HOW COULD THIS…

I have heard so, so many times that our highways are only as crowded as they are because there are so many illegal immigrants. Truly. As if the Ventura in L.A. will take 10 minutes once we’ve gotten rid of them all or something.

That is like the worst thing: When people start talking—particularly with three or more appended clauses—without thinking ahead to how they’re going to tie it all together. Notecards people!

Quite a case of duggarface on this one:

Was there ever any doubt in your mind?

Is it just me* or are Christians and Republicans and such having an increasingly hard time communicating with other human beings who do not share 100% of their in-group signals and codewords and such?

Apropos of head cams, my new drug of choice since becoming a trainee has been firefighter helmet cams:

Give this guy a bit of credit: At least by gun standards he seems to have nothing to prove. I for one wouldn’t bat an eye if he’d been holding up some 11" long magnum revolver.

I’ve always thought it was interesting that we have these on the walls of Congress (and elsewhere): The bundle-of-rods-with-an-axe-head-attached is called, in Latin, the fasces. It dates back to Roman times as a symbol of justice. But it was co-opted later on by Mussolini and company and from hence on we got the term…

Oh don’t worry, bro: I will never buy this, no matter how cheap you make it.

I’m thinking it’s now a pretty hard-and-fast rule that anyone wearing VR goggles will look like a risible tool.
