“It’s all about about merit until merit has tits.” – Naomi Wu

Naomi Wu is a self-described “tech girl” and DIY enthusiast from Shenzhen, who advocates for open source hardware, transhumanism, body modification, and women in STEM. She’s got one of the most popular English-language YouTube and Twitter (@RealSexyCyborg) channels to come out of the southern PRC, and frequently clashes with First World feminists. Also of interest is her abuse by Vice, which sent a reporter to do interviews for three days and then betrayed her by failing to omit information that could have allowed the government to retaliate against her. So as you can imagine, she doesn’t have a lot of sympathy for “journalists” there losing their jobs as the clickbait sites implode.

“You think you were an awkward 20 year old- for months I only took off my Google Glass to charge it and to sleep.”

Doom, Gloom and Bad Weather

Posted on | February 3, 2019 | Comments Off on Doom, Gloom and Bad Weather

 

For some reason, I was researching Hannah Gold, who writes for the feminist blog Jezebel, one of the surviving vestiges of the Gawker empire. I say “for some reason,” because I’m not certain what made me start Googling her, although it was probably her Jan. 17 column about Louis CK’s return to live stand-up comedy performances. And by the way, I have decided I am sick and tired of the fifth-grade hall-monitor tattletale mentality that the #MeToo movement has produced. While I’m not a fan of Louis CK, it seems to me that if people are willing to pay money to watch his act, even after the godawful revelations, well, OK.

Why should a social-media mob or squadrons of feminist outrage-peddlers be able to gin up a boycott that prevents Louis CK from performing for audiences who don’t mind his astonishingly creepy sexual behavior? It’s like, I don’t go watch Woody Allen movies — he stopped being funny 40 years ago — but at the same time, I’m not organizing picket lines outside theaters, either. There is something to be said in favor of not giving a damn about every controversy that makes headlines. The problem is that once people get their heads stuck inside the social-media outrage machine, they’re always angry about something, and act like you’re a bad person if you don’t share their anger. But I digress . . .

It was probably Hannah Gold’s column about Louis CK that made me start Googling her on my phone a couple weeks ago, and when I was out to dinner with my podcasting comrade John Hoge last night, I happened to notice that I had 18 tabs open on the phone’s web browser. Three or four of these tabs were about Hannah Gold — her Twitter account, etc. — and I was like, “Why?” So after I got home, I kept looking and came across a blog post Hannah Gold wrote in December: “Happy Friday, the Environment Is Headed ‘Towards the Edge of a Cliff’.”

That was her reaction to a story published in the Guardian:

Policymakers have severely underestimated the risks of ecological tipping points, according to a study that shows 45% of all potential environmental collapses are interrelated and could amplify one another.
The authors said their paper, published in the journal Science, highlights how overstressed and overlapping natural systems are combining to throw up a growing number of unwelcome surprises.
“The risks are greater than assumed because the interactions are more dynamic,” said Juan Rocha of the Stockholm Resilience Centre. “The important message is to recognise the wickedness of the problem that humanity faces.” . . .
Co-author Garry Peterson said the tipping of the west Antarctic ice shelf was not on the radar of many scientists 10 years ago, but now there was overwhelming evidence of the risks — including losses of chunks of ice the size of New York — and some studies now suggest the tipping point may have already been passed by the southern ice sheet, which may now be releasing carbon into the atmosphere.
“We’re surprised at the rate of change in the Earth system. So much is happening at the same time and at a faster speed than we would have thought 20 years ago. That’s a real concern,” said Peterson. “We’re heading ever faster towards the edge of a cliff.”

Who is this Garry Peterson fellow?

Garry Peterson is Professor in Environmental Sciences at the Stockholm Resilience Centre. . . .
Garry Peterson has a degree in Systems Design Engineering for the University of Waterloo, Canada and received a Ph.D. in Zoology from the University of Florida in 1999. Following post-doctoral positions at the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis in Santa Barbara and the Centre for Limnology at the University of Wisconsin- Madison, he has been an assistant professor jointly appointed in the Department of Geography and the McGill School of the Environment at McGill University in Canada since 2003, where he held a Canada Research Chair.

He’s a full-time professional environmental fear-monger, a diligent laborer in the Catastrophic Predictions Factory, whose entire career is based on the premise that we’re hopelessly doomed, and who periodically issues new scientific “proof” of this conclusion. And he’s one of thousands employed in this climate-change apocalypse racket, all of them tirelessly working to manufacture prophecies of ecological disaster. This racket is funded by taxpayers and also by grants from billionaires and tax-exempt foundations, and if you show the slightest skepticism toward their dire warnings — “We’re heading ever faster towards the edge of a cliff” — that makes you an anti-science “climate denialist.”

How could you begin to explain to someone like Hannah Gold why they should stop publicizing this doom-and-gloom nonsense? If you’re my age, you understand that the global warming scare emerged rather suddenly in the 1990s, and that this timing is significant. During the 1980s, the Left had devoted enormous effort to convincing us that Ronald Reagan was a dangerous right-wing warmonger whose policies would lead to the annihilation of human life in a thermonuclear holocaust. That was the not-too-subtle message of War Games (1983), and the Hollywood Left was protesting at Diablo Canyon and also enthusiastically supporting the so-called “Nuclear Freeze” movement:

On Veterans Day in 1981, the Union of Concerned Scientists held teach-ins in 150 schools, and in April of that year, Ground Zero mobilized a million Americans in high schools and colleges to circulate petitions, listen to debates, or watch films. . . .
On June 12, 1982, the largest peace rally in U.S. history was held concurrently with the Second United Nations Special Session on Disarmament, with approximately a million participants. . . .
In March 1982, a plan to introduce a Freeze resolution in Congress was announced by Senators Kennedy and Hatfield. The following May, the Democratically-controlled House of Representatives passed a Freeze resolution by a vote of 278 to 149. In 1984, the Freeze was backed by all the major candidates for the Democratic presidential nomination and became part of the Democratic Party’s presidential campaign platform.

Guess how that turned out? Ronald Reagan was re-elected in a landslide in 1984, the Berlin Wall came down five years later, and by 1991, the Soviet Union collapsed into “the ash heap of history.”

Well, what next to justify the Left’s gloom-and-doom hysteria? In 1992, at the so-called U.N. Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, global warming theory obtained official sanction as the basis for international “development” planning, and for the past 25 years, they’ve been ratcheting up the fear. Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth (2006) became part of the curriculum in many schools, so that millennials like Hannah Gold have been indoctrinated in this apocalyptic cult since high school. Academia and basically the entire media establishment are devoted to propagating this fear-based worldview, and dismissing skeptics as anti-science bigots, so that when someone like Garry Peterson issues a new warning — the sky is falling! the end is near! we’re losing “chunks of ice the size of New York”! — this confirms the quasi-religious faith of the climate-change True Believers. You are a bad person is you don’t share their fear, in quite the same way that you’re a bad person if you’re not outraged that people are buying tickets to see Louis CK.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) on [Jan. 21] said she thinks that there is an urgency needed in addressing man-made climate change, warning that it will “destroy the planet” in a dozen years if humans do not address the issue, no matter the cost.
During an interview at the MLK Now event in New York City honoring Martin Luther King Jr., Ocasio-Cortez told interviewer Ta-Nehisi Coates that younger Americans are looking for bold solutions to climate change, and are not concerned about the cost.
“Millennials and people, you know, Gen Z and all these folks that will come after us are looking up and we’re like: ‘The world is gonna end in 12 years if we don’t address climate change and your biggest issue is how are we gonna pay for it?’ ” Ocasio-Cortez asked Coates.

Translation: “Economics be damned, we must save the planet!”

If you want to understand why idiots like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez flourish in our current political environment, it’s because there is a sort of Greek chorus constantly applauding their idiot ideas. Everything is now political, including the weather and stand-up comedy. Young women like Hannah Gold are part of the vast communications apparatus that amplifies these messages — #MeToo and #BlackLivesMatter and the entire constellation of hashtagged identity-politics themes that reinforce the worldview in which the greatest threats to human survival are perverted comedians and bad weather. However, if you point out the madness of this belief system, you’re a rape apologist and a climate-denialist, who hates women and science (not necessarily in that order).

Anyway, I spent time figuring out who Hannah Gold is, so you don’t have to, and you should be grateful for that, I guess.

Ralph Northam Press Conference

Posted on | February 2, 2019 | Comments Off on Ralph Northam Press Conference

 

The Virginia Democrat’s raging dumpster fire continues:

Gov. Ralph Northam (D-VA) revealed in a press conference Saturday that he once darkened his face as part of a Michael Jackson costume in 1984.
The admission came after denying he wore backface or a KKK outfit in a photo published in his 1984 medical school yearbook.
“My belief that I did not wear that costume or attend that party stems, in part, by my clear memory of other mistakes I made in the same period of my life,” Northam told reporters. “That same year, I did participate in a dance contest in San Antonio in which I darkened my face as part of a Michael Jackson costume.”
“I look back now and regret that I did not understand the harmful legacy of an action like that. It is because my memory of that episode is so vivid that I truly do not believe I am in the picture in my yearbook.”
Prior to the eyebrow-raising admission, Northam has vowed to remain in office despite widespread calls for his resignation after a racist photo resurfaced on Friday in his yearbook page from more than 30 years ago.
Northam stated at a news conference Saturday that he had prematurely apologized for appearing in a picture of a person in blackface and another wearing a Ku Klux Klan outfit. The photo appeared in his Eastern Virginia Medical yearbook.
The Democrat governor said Saturday that he, in fact, was not in the photo and had never even seen the yearbook until Friday.
His refusal to resign signals a potential bruising fight between Northam and his former supporters. Leaders in both parties have repeatedly urged Northam to resign, saying he’s lost the public’s trust.
The Virginia Legislative Black Caucus, the state House Democratic Caucus and the state Senate Democratic Caucus all called on Northam to resign, along with several key progressive groups that have been some of the governor’s closest political allies. . . .
Several Democratic presidential hopefuls and potential presidential candidates, including Sens. Kamala Harris, Cory Booker [and] former Vice President Joe Biden, also called on Northam to resign.

By the way, Northam couldn’t explain something else:

Virginia Democrat Gov. Ralph Northam said on Saturday that he was not sure why friends called him “coonman” in college. . . .
CBS News uncovered a page from Northam’s yearbook at Virginia Military Institute (VMI) that had nicknames under his name, which includes “Coonman,” a racial slur.
During the press conference, Northam said that many friends often called him “Goose” due to his changing voice; however, he does not know why some college friends called him “Coonman.”
“I don’t know what their intent was with that,” Northam said during the press conference.
Northam said that he never wore a KKK robe, nor has he ever been a member of the KKK.

Scott Johnson: “It takes a certain crazy willfulness for him to defy the mob when he has become such an inconvenience to his party’s vested interest in deploying the race card at will. Northam’s fellow Democrats badly want him to disappear. So long as his memory remains cloudy and the evidence remains less than conclusive, they deserve his continued tenure in office. He fairly represents the (black)face of the Democratic Party.” (Hat-tip: Ed Driscoll at Instapundit.)

Chad Allan & the Expressions

Posted on | February 2, 2019 | Comments Off on Chad Allan & the Expressions

Chad Allan and his groovy band, circa 1964.

My mind works in mysterious ways and I’ve forgotten why I started the research that led me down a rabbit hole into an obscure tale from Canadian musical history. In 1958, a singer named Allan Kowbel formed a band in Winnipeg originally called Allan and the Silvertones. By 1962, Kowbel had adopted the stage name “Chad Allan” and his band was called the Reflections. They recorded a few records, but with little commercial success. Then in 1965 a U.S. group called the Reflections had a hit, which caused the band from Winnipeg to change its name to Chad Allan and the Expressions. It was under this name that they recorded what was to be their only hit, a cover of a 1960 record by British rocker Johnny Kidd, “Shakin’ All Over.” But the reason you’ve never heard of Chad Allan and the Expressions is because their record company got an idea for a publicity stunt to promote the single. They sent out promotional copies labeled only “Guess Who?” a trick that caused some DJs to think this was actually the band’s name. And after some confusion, Chad Allan’s group officially adopted The Guess Who as their name.

A 1965 ad promoting “Shakin’ All Over” by “Guess Who?”

Unfortunately for Chad Allan and his newly renamed band, rock music was now progressing rapidly. By 1965, the Beatles were producing far more sophisticated music — “Help!” and “Day Tripper” and “Yesterday” — and while Allan’s sound might have been quite popular a year earlier, it was now becoming passé. Although “Shakin’ All Over” made it to No. 1 on the Canadian charts, it peaked at No. 22 in the U.S.

 

In 1966, Burton Cummings replaced Chad Allan as the lead singer for The Guess Who, who got a gig as house band on a weekly Canadian TV teen-music show, Let’s Go, that lasted two seasons. In 1969, the group had three Top Ten hits with “These Eyes,” “Laughing” and “No Time,” which was followed in 1970 by their all-time biggest hit, “American Woman,” which made it all the way to No. 1. This success was short-lived, however. Guitarist Randy Bachman developed health problems and Cummings developed an ego problem, and The Guess Who never recovered.

After he left the band, Bachman would later recall, he was labelled “a lunatic and a loser” and “nobody wanted to work with me,” except his old buddy Chad Allan, with whom he created a new group, Brave Belt, that recorded a couple of albums. Bachman recruited bassist/singer Fred Turner to join and, by the time their third album was released, Chad Allan was gone, and the band was now called Bachman-Turner Overdrive. Perhaps you’ve heard of them.

By 1974, Bachman-Turner Overdrive was No. 1 on the charts with “You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet,” and also the Top 10 “Takin’ Care of Business.”

 

 

So, while you’ve probably never heard of Chad Allan, he somehow managed to be present at the creation of two groups — The Guess Who and Bachman-Turner Overdrive — that each later made it to No. 1 without him. Amazing the things you can learn on the Internet . . .

Married Homosexual Couple Accused of ‘Bareback’ Raping Man in Texas

Posted on | February 2, 2019 | Comments Off on Married Homosexual Couple Accused of ‘Bareback’ Raping Man in Texas

Ruth Bader Ginsburg with Scott Walters (left) and David Daniels (right).

Recall that it was a Texas law against sodomy that was at issue in the crucial 2003 Supreme Court 5-4 ruling that struck down such laws, a decision which Antonin Scalia at that time accurately predicted would lead to striking down laws against same-same marriage, which it did 12 years later. In 2014, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg — who was in the Lawrence v. Texas majority — officiated at the ceremony in D.C. where opera singer David Daniels married conductor Scott Walters.

Tuesday night, the couple were arrested in Michigan for extradition to Texas on charges that they raped a man in Houston in 2010:

A famous opera singer and his husband have been arrested on suspicion of raping a young singer who claims he was left bleeding from the rectum after blacking out at an after-show party with the pair in Texas, in 2010.
David Daniels, 52, and his conductor husband Scott Walters, 37, were arrested in Michigan, where they live, on Tuesday night.
They are being held in county jail and are awaiting extradition to Houston where they are accused of raping Samuel Schultz after a performance in 2010.
Schultz came forward last August with his allegations, waiving his anonymity as the possible victim of a sex crime to describe how the couple allegedly preyed on him.
He reported his claims to the Houston Police Department at the same time.
In his complaint, Schultz, who was 23 at the time, described how he rarely drinks but accepted a drink from Daniels once they got back to the home the couple was staying in.
He said he ‘blacked out’ afterwards and came to the next day when he found himself in severe pain, alone in the house.
‘I was sore and I didn’t know why.
‘I made my way to the bathroom to figure out why I hurt. I was bleeding from my rectum.
‘I became numb. I was paralyzed with fear. What had happened?
‘How could I escape? How would I get out? Where were my clothes?’ ‘ he wrote.
Daniels and Walters were out at breakfast at the time but when they returned, he claims Daniels told him they had had unprotected sex.
”I remember David saying, “Don’t worry about the BB thing, I’m totally negative.”
‘BB in this case meant bareback, otherwise known as raping me without a condom,’ Schultz wrote.
He said he decided to report the pair to police after eight years because he was emboldened by the #MeToo movement.

Scott Walters (left) and David Daniels (right) were arrested in Michigan.

Did I mention that one of the accused rapists has faculty tenure?

Daniels is also a tenured professor at the University of Michigan, where he has been teaching since 2015. University spokeswoman Kim Broekhuizen confirms to PEOPLE Daniels has been on paid leave and off campus since August 2018.
“We will continue to closely monitor the situation as we determine the appropriate next steps,” Broekhuizen said in a statement.
The UM Board of Regents voted to give Daniels approval for tenure in May 2018, less than two months following an anonymous complaint against him.
In March 2018, Daniels was accused of sexual misconduct by a student who claimed the professor offered to pay him for sex over Grindr, according to MLive. Pittsfield police investigated the matter but found no evidence of criminal wrongdoing.
Daniels is also named in an October 2018 federal civil lawsuit filed by former University of Michigan student Andrew Lipian, who claims he was sexually assaulted after being given bourbon and tricked into taking sleep medication, according to NYT.

The homosexual elite are different than you and me. They teach at universities, and Supreme Court justices officiate their weddings.

Friday Fiction: 100 Word Challenge

Posted on | February 1, 2019 | Comments Off on Friday Fiction: 100 Word Challenge

by Smitty

The Association was composed of off-the-net greasepits and cars that people could still “work” on.

He’d fetch the strongbox cached securely within the engine compartment, extract the optical media, mount it on the creaky old laptop (running some Slackware release that hadn’t been updated or rebooted in a decade–up the network!) and un-tar the files.

He’d rely on a deck of one-time pads for decrypting the instructions.

. . .weeks later. . .

The plan’s masterful dots appeared randomly, yet managed to connect. The altercation was minor, yet DeepFakes gradually turned it into a full-on global economic meltdown.

Their machine learning foresaw naught.
