FMJRA 2.0: A Christmas Break From Baseball

Posted on | December 22, 2024 | 1 Comment

Well, the draft is done, and Pete says we’ll start playing after Christmas. I’m fairly happy with my picks, and we’ll see how it works out during the upcoming season. Especially with the DH in effect for the American League teams.
Today’s illo is taken from the Korean Playstation 5 game Stellar Blade, which was caused much pearl-clutching among radical feminists and game “journalists” (but I repeat myself) on account of the main character’s sexy design. Not that that’s ever happened before. Anyway, since Shift Up, the company that made Stellar Blade, is South Korean and its president has balls and likes boobs, he paid no attention to the noise and in fact had the company push out a couple of mods this month so people could dress up the main character in costumes suitable to the season, body-swap her with 2B from Nier: Automata. Or both. Enjoy.
Ceterum autem censeo Silicon Valley et Hamas delendam sunt.

Eve invites you to have a Merry Christmas!

Against Euphemisms

Posted on | December 21, 2024 | 2 Comments

However much you hate the creeping totalitarianism of our time, you don’t hate it enough. Let me quote this:

One of Orwell’s most important messages in 1984 is that language is of central importance to human thought because it structures and limits the ideas that individuals are capable of formulating and expressing. If control of language was centralized in a political agency, Orwell proposes, such an agency could possibly alter the very structure of language to make it impossible to even conceive of disobedient or rebellious thoughts, because there would be no words with which to think them. This idea manifests itself in the language of Newspeak, which the Party has introduced to replace English. The Party is constantly refining and perfecting Newspeak, with the ultimate goal that no one will be capable of conceptualizing anything that might question the Party’s absolute power.

To control language is to control thought, and the Thought Police of our time keep quite busy in preventing us from thinking clearly:

“OnlyFans model” is a euphemism, like calling a stripper an “exotic dancer.” Basically, any old-fashioned slang for sexual behavior is now prohibited as somehow harmful, so that whore is banned for the same basic reason that shemale or tranny is banned. The use of old-fashioned language implies an old-fashioned attitude, and is thus considered derogatory because (once upon a time, in Ye Olde Dark Ages) most people did not approve of the behaviors such words describe. It’s like how bums and winos got promoted to “homeless people,” while kooks and looneys became part of the “neordivergent community.” This sort of censorship, making it mandatory to employ the preferred politically-correct terminology for deviant behavior, exploits the desire of civilized people to avoid offending others — the Dictatorship of Niceness. . . .

You can read the rest of that at my Substack (and, while you’re there, please subscribe). What I resent is the manipulation of language by those who apparently think we’re too stupid to figure out that we’re being manipulated or why. Their arrogance is an insult, and the people who engage in this insulting manipulation — the Thought Police — expect to get away with it because they’re always hiding behind the human shields of their Official Victim Groups. You’re being “anti-woman” if you criticize their pro-prostitution activism, and this is just one example of how the Thought Police enforce mental conformity as “social justice.” It is not enough for them merely to make pornography legal, but they must also silence criticism, to prevent anyone from expressing disapproval of pornography. Because you might hurt somebody’s feelings is you call a whore a whore, and these hurt feelings might discourage young women from becoming whores, and we can’t allow such discouragement, can we?

2024: The Year the Media Lost

Posted on | December 21, 2024 | 1 Comment

The Gloat Zone is a great place to be. Whether it’s in football or politics, the aftermath of a big victory is an occasion for soaking in the feel-good endorphin bath, and laughing at the follies of your defeated opponent. Victory is always sweetest when it’s an upset, staging a fourth-quarter comeback after your opponent thinks he’s already got it in the bag. Fans of the New England Patriots get a smile on their face at the mere mention of “28-3,” the greatest Super Bowl comeback of all time.

Wishing to squeeze the last ounce of pleasure from this year’s victory, I’ve spent a lot of time watching highlights of Election Night coverage, and one particular moment stood out as Peak Media Bias:

Shortly before 8 p.m. Eastern time on Election Night on CBS News (America Decides: Election ’24), anchor Lindsey Reiser cut away to Philadelphia, where polls were just about to close in the key battleground state of Pennsylvania. CBS had good news for Democrats and Kamala Harris. “The Harris campaign says tonight that they are feeling confident,” CBS News senior White House correspondent Weijia Jiang told the network’s viewers.
Early in the next hour, with Norah O’Donnnell now in the anchor chair, the network again cut away to Jiang in Philadelphia, where there was still more good news for Democrats. “I just heard from a [Harris] campaign source that says that they are overperforming the internal turnout expectations here in Philly and it continues to look very strong,” Jiang reported, later adding, “The Harris campaign ground game has been like a well-oiled machine.”
As we all now know, the Harris campaign was lying about the turnout and therefore the reporting by CBS News was completely wrong about Pennsylvania. . . .

A Product of the Crazy-Making Factory

Posted on | December 19, 2024 | 1 Comment

Notice the slogan on Natalie Rupnow’s T-shirt: “KMFDM,” a reference to Kein Mehrheit Für Die Mitleid (“no pity for the majority”), a German rock band whose fans included Columbine High School gunman Eric Harris. Lyrics to KMFDM songs were posted on Harris’s website, and fandom of KMFDM was part of Natalie Rupnow’s obsession with mass murderers — kind of a red flag, if anyone was paying attention.

In the immediate aftermath of Monday’s shooting, there was a lot of ill-informed speculation about Rupnow’s motive, with some people claiming the 15-year-old was transgender, but there is no evidence of that. According to Anna Slatz, Rupnow had been in an online “relationship” with a boy for two years, but we don’t actually know anything about this boyfriend yet. However, the Washington Post has some highly relevant reporting about Rupnow’s family background:

According to The Post’s review of court records, Rupnow’s parents first married in 2011, about two years after she was born.
Mellissa Rupnow had been previously married and divorced, and she had another daughter with a different man to whom she was never married. Court records indicate that this girl — Natalie Rupnow’s half sister — had other permanent legal guardians. The Post was not able to reach the half sister, who is now 20.
Mellissa and Jeff Rupnow divorced for the first time in 2014, agreeing to joint legal custody of their shared daughter, Natalie, but specifying that she would live primarily with her mother.
The couple remarried in 2017 and divorced for a second time in 2020, again agreeing to share custody but, the court records show, dividing Natalie’s time more evenly between them. During this period, Natalie would spend two days with her father, two with her mother, then three more with her father, before reversing the schedule the following week.
Shortly after Rupnow’s parents split up for the second time, the couple remarried once more. But by April 2021 they were petitioning for a third divorce. A judge granted it a month later but noted that “parties [were] admonished concerning remarriage,” according to court records.
After seeking mediation to determine custody of Natalie, they agreed in July 2022 that they would share legal custody but that the girl would now live mostly with her father. By this time, Natalie Rupnow had been enrolled in therapy, which was supposed to help guide decisions about which parent she would spend weekends with, the records show.

The Post used the word “turbulent” to describe this situation, although chaotic might be more accurate. What kind of people would get married and divorced three times? Selfish, immature, thoughtless people — well, that’s inference, but if you know anything at all about child-rearing, you understand how important stability is to the development of the child’s sense of security. Children do best when they grow up in one home, with two parents. Being shuffled around from one parent to the other is damaging, and while Natalie Rupnow is an extreme example, it is not surprising to learn that he childhood was chaotic.

Most importantly, there is no politics here. People trying to turn Natalie Rupnow into a symbol of the Left or the Right, in order to score political points for their side, are misguided. This is not a crime with a clear political motive; this crime is a product of mental illness.

Or evil, if you’d prefer to call it that.
