FMJRA 2.0: Common People (William Shatner ST:TOS Video Remix)

The Hulking One has apparently pulled the ‘Bigger Digger Trigger‘. That word, which, uttered by anyone of European extraction not named Quentin Tarantino, (why didn’t I name a child ‘Quentin’, so that he could be privileged so?) engenders (better use that verb before the SJWs have it cut off of the language) vast hormonal outpourings across the vast, grand cultural canyon carved by That One Guy who was supposed to fill it.

The only way out of this dilemma, obviously, will be for Donald Trump to nominate The Hulkage for Vice President.

Could have sworn I did a book post last week, but apparently I was wrong. This fortnight’s haul from the library includes a couple of regrettable graphic novels, one of the Laundry novels by Charles Stross, a nice debut novel by Finnish author Hannu Rajaniemi, and the definitive Churchill bio by his son Randolph and the late Martin Gilbert.

The best of the lot is clearly Rajaniemi’s The Quantum Thief, the first book in a trilogy about the post-human thief Jean le Flambeur. When we first meet him, le Flambeur is an inmate in the Dilemma Prison, where the Archon pursues a form of re-education where his prisoners are required to kill each other every day or (less frequently) cooperate to avoid being killed. Our hero gets sprung from the prison and taken to the Oubliette, the Moving City of Mars, to complete his last theft. The Oubliette is a fascinating society where time is the only currency and those who run out of time become the voiceless Quiets, who maintain the city and defend it from the feral phoboi. In the meantime, they exchange memories (or bits of memory) while maintaining fierce independence and anonymity through use of the gevulot, high-grade cryptography that can literally make people faceless or unrecognizable. It compares very well to Stross’ disastrous Glasshouse, which deals with a similar post-human prison, and Stross admits as much in a rather gracious cover blurb. This was a very good read, and I’m looking forward to reading the next two.

Speaking of Stross, I finally found The Rhesus Chart at the library, and while I enjoyed MOST of the novel, I am furious at Stross for reintroducing Bob’s sociopathic ex-girlfriend Mhari, who is now a [SPOILER], breaking up [SPOILER], and worst of all, HE KILLED OFF [SPOILER]! I can’t remember being this pissed off at an author since Poul Anderson killed Dominic Flandry’s fiance in A Knight of Ghosts and Shadows. I am assured by a fellow fan of the series that it’s really all for the best, but I am Not Pleased.

The man who could have been Duke of London was not always the beloved bulldog hero of his people, as one rather quickly discovers when reading Winston S. Churchill: Youth, 1874-1900, the first in the eight-volume series begun by his son Randolph and completed by the late Martin Gilbert. The first two volumes could have been a stultifying trudge through letter after letter from and to Winston and his contemporaries (including his parents) but is a rather easy read instead, as well as being an excellent history of England during Churchill’s time. A short but very necessary overview of Winston’s father Randolph’s meteoric rise and tragic fall in included, and properly so, since it is impossible to really understand Winston’s career without it. I was fortunate enough to get all eight volumes for free on the Last Lion’s birthday this year when Hillsdale College released them in Kindle format, but they are well worth the current price and then some.

I was very disappointed in Serenity: Those Left Behind and Serenity: The Shepherd’s Tale, even if Joss Whedon wasn’t. I found the first confusing and the second one suffering from a major continuity error, and was damned glad I hadn’t bought either one myself. YMMV.

This weekend I’m going to fill out my Hugo ballot, and I’ll post that next week in case anyone is interested. There’s still time to sign up for a supporting membership, get the packet, and vote, by the way.

Lesbian Divorce Gets Nasty

Posted on | July 24, 2015 | 22 Comments

WNBA star Glory Johnson (@MISSVOL25) and her ex-wife @BrittneyGriner

One positive thing about legalizing gay marriage is that it gives the rest of us the opportunity laugh about gay celebrity divorces:

Brittney Griner shockingly filed to annul her marriage with Glory Johnson just 28 days after the same-sex couple wed and one day after Johnson announced she was pregnant by using donated sperm. At the time, Griner cited “fraudulent statements” made by Johnson and pressure into marriage “under duress” in the original June 5 paperwork. . . .
The amended documents reveal that Johnson was texting an ex-boyfriend while the two were engaged. The amended documents also detail Griner “recently discovering” Johnson’s “sexual relationship with a man” while the couple was dating.
Griner’s claims of Johnson’s unfaithfulness from the court documents are detailed in full below. . . .

Petitioner [Griner] just recently learned that Respondent {Johnson} was not completely faithful during their courtship leading up to the engagement. Respondent intentionally concealed her sexual relations with a man to whom she was simultaneously in a relationship with from 2013 to July 2014; said relationship between Respondent and this man was unbeknownst to Petitioner. Petitioner had no idea that Respondent was sexually and emotionally involved with another individual at the same time she was sexually and emotionally involved with Respondent. Had Petitioner been aware of Respondent’s relationship with another person, she would have never proposed, let alone marry Respondent. Upon information and belief, Respondent not only deceived Petitioner, but also the man to who Respondent was in a relationship with.

Griner contends she was pressured into marriage as well as agreeing to start a family with Johnson, who announced she’s having twins from in-vitro fertilization using donated sperm; Griner has no biological relationship to the unborn children. A motion filed on June 29 details Johnson’s request that Griner pay $20,000 per month in spousal support in addition to a $10,000 advancement toward attorney fees.

These two women are saying about each other the same thing every divorced guy says about his ex-wife: “That evil bitch is crazy!”

(via Memeorandum.)

Remember: This Is What a Feminist Looks Like.

UPDATE: Consider this story:

On Friday the 13th of January 1989, Catherine [Rouse], former manager of Lysistrata — the celebrated feminist restaurant that existed for five years (1977-1982) in Madison, Wisconsin — took a gun purchased a few days before, drove to the house of her ex-lover Joan [Kebick], who had recently ended their relationship, and shot her three times, dead. . . . She did not find Joan’s new lover. She then drove home, answered the phone. It was her sister, a university dean of students who, worried, had set up emergency counseling for her. Catherine said, “Thank you very much,” did not mention having shot Joan, hung up the phone, and shot herself, dead.

That account is from Professor Claudia Card’s 1995 book, Lesbian Choices. Professor Card also tells the story of Annette Green who, on Oct. 30, 1988, “shot and killed Ivonne Julio, her lover of eleven years, at their home in Palm Beach County, Florida.” Green pleaded self-defense, claiming her partner had battered her, but was convicted of second-degree murder. Professor Card, herself a lesbian feminist, cites two books, Naming the Violence: Speaking Out About Lesbian Battering by Kerry Lobel (1986) and Violent Betrayal: Partner Abuse in Lesbian Relationships by Claire M. Renzetti (1992). Curious readers might also be interested in Woman-to-Woman Sexual Violence: Does She Call It Rape? by Lori B. Girshick (2002). In that book, Professor Girschick “discusses how the lesbian community has silenced survivors of sexual violence due to myths of lesbian utopia.”

This myth of lesbians enjoying conflict-free relationships has become a sort of propaganda deployed by feminists who wish to blame males for everything everything wrong in heterosexual relationships.

Anyone who knows anything about human nature knows better than to believe these things, but just as the gay-rights movement has sought to suppress negative information about the LGBT community, feminists have sought to suppress positive information about heterosexual males. This has produced a distorted perception of the world which, all things considered amounts to a propaganda of hatred, which Professor Daphne Patai called Heterophobia. However, when anyone — particularly a heterosexual male — tries to balance this one-side propaganda, he is invariably accused of sexism and homophobia: “How dare you suggest some women are not entirely sane?” or, “How dare you suggest some homosexuals are not entirely honest?”

You will be accused of promoting ignorant stereotypes, you see. The only stereotypes acceptable to liberals are ones that disparage men, particularly white heterosexual men. Liberals hate white heterosexual men the way Nazis hated Jews.

If it weren’t for hateful lies, how could Democrats ever win elections?

Ted Triumphantly Treads Titanium Testicle Territory; Casually Cruises Cadmium Cojones Country

Ted Cruz has been made an utter fool over the Export-Import Bank, and seems maybe a tiny bit hacked off on the point. Watch and weep:

“This Senate operates exactly the same [as the Reid era].”

More at Ace.

UPDATE: Ted doubles down on the Mark Levin show. Cruz is on after 16:10.

“The McConnell-Reid leadership team” (!!??!?!?!?!?!)

But what about this?

The Utah Republican [Lee] laid out the argument in a press release after party leaders set the sequencing of votes:
“The first Obamacare vote on Sunday will have a 60 vote threshold, and Democrats will likely block it,” Lee continued. “But thanks to the sequencing of the votes we just locked in, Republicans will have the opportunity resurrect that Obamacare amendment later on in the process, and put it back before the Senate in a manner that only requires a simple-majority vote.”

After cloture is reached on the Export-Import Bank amendment, senators will still be allowed to offer germane amendments to the highway bill, each of which would only require a simple-majority to pass. If the Chair rules that the Obamacare amendment is non-germane, Senate Rule 22 also allows any senator to appeal that ruling to the full Senate. At that point, a simple-majority of Senators would have the power to add the Obamacare repeal amendment to the highway bill.

I’m sure we can rely on the McConnell-Reid leadership team to do the left thing and ensure that the 2014 election remains immaterial.

Feminist Tumblr: ‘Queer Artist’ Loves ‘Awesome Blasphemous’ Dildos

Posted on | July 24, 2015 | 51 Comments

Melanie Thibodeau is a 23-year-old graduate of Emily Carr University “a public post-secondary University located on Granville Island in Vancouver, BC, Canada. Established in 1925 as the Vancouver School of Decorative and Applied Arts, it is named after Canadian artist Emily Carr.” What kind of lessons did Ms. Thibodeau learn there?

Melanie Thibodeau (b. 1992) is a Vancouver-based queer artist whose practice is focused around ideas about the body, having a body, and the ways in which materials and colour can affect one’s body. Their work is interdisciplinary, focusing on sculpture, painting, and installation, and they have previously worked with topics surrounding nostalgia and emotion; gender, sexuality, and feminism; and comfort vs. discomfort. Thibodeau’s recent investigations have been in conversation with research surrounding the notion of the fetish/fetishism, and the etymology and usages of that word.

Her “queer” art is about “gender, sexuality, and feminism”? This may explain what she posts on her Tumblr blog, such as spray-painting “Cuntz 4 Ever” and “Pussy Power” on the wall and exposing her breasts.

Ms. Thibodeau’s NSFW ideas about feminist art include such works as “Clitoris” and “Dildo” and “Fellatio.” She actually worked at a sex-toy store, where she described a “slow day at work. 7 customers in 12 hrs, and there’s no internet so i just read theory and wrote and got anxious about existing. i’ve changed so much, and have too many feels and theory and porn make me cry sometimes. . . . i need more humans in my life.” She once spent more than five hours getting a tattoo of a woman tied up in bondage gear with the mottos “Safety” and “Consent.”

Obviously, Ms. Thibodeau is the avant-garde of 21st-century queer art — posting nude selfies on her Tumblr blog and posing with her girlfriend, “Satan With a Vagina.” One hesitates to imagine the “performance art” possibilities she and her girlfriend may have in mind:

“My girlfriend and I received these lovely
jesus-on-the-cross dildos yesterday from
Divine Interventions. Check them out!
So many awesome blasphemous toys.
We are very happy with them!”

Crucifix dildos and “Satan With a Vagina”? Doesn’t this queer art make you wonder who’s in charge of Feminist Tumblr?

“Especially important is the warning to avoid conversations with the demon. . . . He is a liar. The demon is a liar. He will lie to confuse us. But he will also mix lies with the truth to attack us. The attack is psychological, Damien, and powerful. So don’t listen to him. Remember that — do not listen.”
— The Exorcist (1973)

Did you know Satanists claim abortion is “free exercise” of their religion?

UPDATE: Ms. Thibodeau’s girlfriend, “Satan With a Vagina,” is also quite enthusiastic about the crucifix dildo:

“The silicone is so soft…thank you Jesus!”

This sacrilegious sex toy (7-½ inches long, 1-¾ inches diameter) retails for $65, but I doubt this queer feminist duo paid full retail. You see, “Satan With a Vagina” works at a sex-toy store in Vancouver, and here’s the store’s description:

At Sweet Adult Boutique our aim is to provide you with only the highest quality adult merchandise, lubricants and massage oils. Our staff are knowledgeable, attentive to your needs and your level of comfort in an adult boutique. . . .
Located one block east of Granville St., on the south side corner of W Broadway and Hemlock, Sweet Adult Boutique features an open, brightly lit and friendly atmosphere where shopping for adult merchandise is always adventurous and fun.

This “friendly atmosphere” employs Alicia a/k/a “Satan With a Vagina.” A Portuguese immigrant with blue hair, tattoos and facial piercings, Alicia is on a “kinky journey”:

I went to a bondage class last night. I got suspended, tied up, thrown around…I took a beating. I really let my inner sub come out and play. It was incredibly fun and liberating….I still feel like I haven’t quite returned to my every day consciousness yet, and I’m happy to bask in the afterglow.
I feel like I’m learning and evolving more every day. I’m want to start tracking my thoughts, feelings and desires through this process. From now on I’m going to try my darnedest to tag all my BDSM-related posts “kinky journey”.
Onwards!

Less than two weeks after that “incredibly fun and liberating” experience, Alicia said she had reached her “breaking point” and described herself as “so mentally ill that I need drugs to remain functional.”

In other words, Feminist Tumblr.

Torn, bleeding, naked, the little girl managed to pull herself up the river bank, miles downstream from the wreck of the family fishing trip.

Years on, she would wonder why God had even bothered to spare her, alone, while so cruelly taking her parents and siblings.
She never had an explicit answer under the sun. But as she grew into a woman of grace and power, the fact that she had been to the brink of death meant that she never lost perspective amidst lesser adversities, and her life’s impact was arguably greater.
Didn’t bring back her family; but honored them.

Feminist Tumblr: She Loves Your Tears, You ‘Whiny’ #GamerGate ‘Baby Men’

Posted on | July 23, 2015 | 79 Comments

She was asked her opinion of Anita Sarkeesian:

“I like that she is doing what she does and I drink the tears of whiny piss baby men who are upset that a woman has the nerve to analyze videogames from a feminist perspective”

This anonymous radical feminist is 25 years old, but provides no information about her education or background. She is a tabula rasa. We know nothing about her except for her all-encompassing hatred of males, who are always wrong about everything:

Male Opinions Are Not Objective Facts
Men are socialized since birth to think their feelings and thoughts are the objective truth. They are taught they are generally right about something, unless contradicted by another male with equal or more authority. men subconciously believe they are firmly right about things so much they won’t even consider alternative perspectives unless it comes from a place of higher authority.
Men are socialized to believe women are inherently wrong, and that is why women are “crazy”, because it is so difficult for men to even consider the possibility that they don’t know shit. This is why men often offer strong opinions on topics they just heard about, especially if they’re contradicting a woman.
This is because people will respect a man’s opinion and give his words weight even if he has zero background in the subject because men are considered credible by default. Women are considered wrong by default and must argue their way to display their truth, no matter how strong their credentials.
Men probably have to tell themselves they’re logical all the time just to keep up the lie that feeds their ego. Thinking is difficult work for a man who is used to instantly being told he is right, while women are constantly being argued against and therefore exploring the topics more deeply and doing more thinking.

A summary translation: “Men know nothing. Everything any man claims to know is an expression of his own arrogant prejudice. No woman should ever trust any man, because all men are fools.”

She got more than 1,800 notes for that denunciation of males, basically a restatement of what Rebecca Solnit argues in her popular feminist book Men Explain Things to Me. Could I make a counter-argument? Perhaps, but why bother? Feminists never listen to anything a man says. We understand why feminism’s First Rule for Men is, “SHUT UP!”

This is why feminism is not about equality. No feminist wants to be “equal” to that despicable subhuman creature, the male. Feminism means males must be silenced, because no male has any truth to speak. Men are stupid and untrustworthy; feminists have a monopoly on truth and virtue. From the feminist perspective, everything about males is invalid, inferior, irrelevant, bad and wrong. Therefore, every woman must gratefully embrace the knowledge imparted to her by feminists. By invoking this crypto-Marxist totalitarian concept — women as a revolutionary class, led by an intellectual vanguard — feminists thereby anoint themselves as Omniscient Arbiters of Truth.

Any 25-year-old feminist with a Tumblr blog can join the pantheon of Olympian Goddesses who dispense immortal wisdom to the Sacred Sisterhood. Oh, did I mention she wants to “Desexualize the Female Body” because “F–k Your Fascist Beauty Standards”?

You see her feminism involves a sort of sour-grapes rationalization. Men do not value her opinion because (a) men are stupid and inferior, and (b) men “think their feelings and thoughts are the objective truth.” She is disappointed that men “sexualize” women, evaluating her in terms of her desirability as a romantic companion. This involves “beauty standards” that are “fascist,” by which she means that beauty is undemocratic because it is not equally distributed among all women. Some women are more beautiful than others, and this is wrong because . . .?

Well, it’s just wrong. How dare you ask a feminist to explain herself?

Like all radical egalitarian philosophies, feminism appeals to the ambitious malcontent who, feeling herself somehow disadvantaged by the status quo, dreams of a utopia in which women will be treated according to a “fair” standard, which is to say, a standard that will make her Queen Bee of the hive. A woman who declares that she is “oppressed” by “male supremacy” usually means nothing more than this: Men don’t treat her the way she would like to be treated, and so she wants to destroy civilization as we know it, and institute a gynocracy in which women will be empowered to inflict humiliating punishment on men. Whatever else feminism may be, it is always in large measure a sadistic revenge fantasy whose strongest appeal is to women of unlimited cruelty. If any man doesn’t like her “feminist perspective,” his disagreement proves he’s a “whiny piss baby,” and she will celebrate by drinking your tears.

She hates you. She really, really hates you. You’re probably “a fedora wearing doritos munching mountain dew drinking reddit bro.”
