I prefer to see it as the glass half full. At least one of the two parties I didn’t want to win, lost. I could concentrate on the other one winning, but that would just make me sad.

Well, since things are a bit slow here, I'll continue to shit-post. You can watch the vid if you want, it's not really important. However, the comments section is a heaving gold-mine of outrage, "what if" predictions and salty butt-hurt.

The reason?

Amazon might "woke" up the new LOTR series and we'll end up with trans* Frodo, black elves, gay Strider and an army of pink haired orcs.



Some of the longer threads are a real hoot!

The Tolkien family are notoriously precious when it comes to their fictional legacy - but perhap evens old JRR was enough of a traditionalist that he would have appreciated more 'fagging' in the story.

She popped up in my YT feed a couple of times but couldn't hold my interest for longer than a minute or two. However, I'm currently enjoying the content pushed by Katlyn Bennet (sp?) - she's a vapid bimbo but certainly knows how to wind up the snowflakes. Plus I'd...well, you can insert your own smutty blurb here.

Thing is, most of the political commentators on social media are pretty vapid and dumb. It's too often about "owning" the other side: fun at times, not really interesting or productive in the long run.

Pretty much the only political talk I find even remotely useful is done by "mainstream" sources. The "alternative" crowd has few things to say that make any sort of sense. I usually read Reuters, the NYT, the WaPo, the BBC, Reason, occasionally the Atlantic and the Economist. No source is perfect, and you always have to check things on your own, but they beat the "alternative" media (either the InfoWars/Breitbart side or the Chapo Trap House/Salon/Slate) hands down.

I also avoid most opinion pieces because they're mostly clickbait even in serious newspapers, and everytime I see anything bout "whiteness" or "the Patriarchy" I skip it because it's woke garbage.

The world looks much saner if you know how avoid the crazies.

Rather interesting podcast:



I'm getting round to thinking that whether Brexit is a good or bad idea, what ought to concern us most is which is the greater evil - letting a population decide it's fate and possibly suffering economic trials as a result, or having political masters who can refuse to follow a democratic result as they feel they know better. I think some economic tribulation would be a worthwhile price to pay to avoid the latter, which is the classic road to totalitarianism.

This is actually the defining moment for whether the UK goes totalitarian or not. If the government can ignore a clear majority in a referendum, it can do anything.

I'm pretty much content to let authors decide how their stories go, and have no sympathy for the woke complaining about season 8 being so unfair to the Mother of Dragons. All the same, there was nothing but the sensation of a balloon taking seventy five minutes to deflate during that last episode. Perhaps GRRM is being more wily than I credit him for and is watching the TV writers end the series one way, and then he will deftly substitute something better into the books.

Haha. My wife keep misgendering my daughter's FTM trans boyfriend. She keeps calling the two of them "the girls"... and then she gets mad at me for not correcting her. Oh man. My explanation is that my daughter's boyfriend is the least male man I have ever encountered. He does not even present as a decent bull-dyke.... he is so feminine that the subconscious mind just calls him a female. Man oh man.

Once again I heard my wife say today "I can't believe it, the cheaper flights have all sold out". Then I learned that airlines use cookies to target repeat searches and only offer more expensive tickets on the second search. Clear airline cookies and save hundreds of dollars.

I thought this just passed Australian election was relatively benign, if uninspiring. I wasn't too surprised by the result, but given that where I live was never going to be a surprise in the outcome, I didn't invest too much into my decision. I only cast a formal vote for the Senate.

https://www.spiked-online.com/2019/05/2 ... l-justice/

When I saw this article, I thought it was a little overwrought. Now, I'm not so sure. I have family in the APS, and apparently there are people there who seem seriously depressed. Like to the point where other staff are worried about them and talking about it. I've also had my own encounters with people who have non-ironically said "Fuck Queensland" to me assuming I had the same opinion. I'll be with a group of progressives in a few hours, so I think that'll be a much more painful experience than I was expecting.

There are people out there who believe in cosmic balance and that justice will prevail. If Game of Thrones has taught us anything, it's that it aint so (and that tits and dragons sell). Perhaps Labor needed to have more tits and dragons in their superior policy offering.

I'm a bit disappointed because the country does need to move on with its energy transformation and addressing food and water security wrt climate, but recognise that it will happen despite the conservatives best efforts. It will just be slower and potentially more painful than it needed to be.

But I am heartened because a) ScoMo has a chalice to his lips that was poisoned by him, his team, and an unrelenting future and b) Government Senator Arthur Sinodinos has put it out there that the Government needs to pull its head out of its posterior and position for a future with renewable energy etc.

When I saw this article, I thought it was a little overwrought. Now, I'm not so sure. I have family in the APS, and apparently there are people there who seem seriously depressed. Like to the point where other staff are worried about them and talking about it. I've also had my own encounters with people who have non-ironically said "Fuck Queensland" to me assuming I had the same opinion. I'll be with a group of progressives in a few hours, so I think that'll be a much more painful experience than I was expecting.
It's a great article.
At its core, Saturday’s election was a contest between two tribes. One consists of those who identify themselves principally by the place in which they live and shared social values. The other defines itself by its allegiance to international causes and the presumption that the global educated class knows better than the rest.
They act like oligarchs, forgetting it's a democracy, and rely on scolding the electorate to win.
‘F*** you Australia’, wrote Harry on the Left Side. ‘We had a great opportunity to build a just, fair, progressive, environmentally responsible, clean-energy powerhouse of a nation and once again you squandered it....
As here after trump, the same anger at the electorate for not buying their message. Not once do they ever stop and wonder, 'huh, what's wrong with our message?' The concepts of 'iustice' and 'fairness' are what drive progressives; ignore social cohesion and responsibility and you alienate large swathes of voters. Pitching renewable energy as some moral obligation, instead of a savvy way to improve the economy and national security, is hectoring, sanctimonious, and will always be rejected.

Keating wrote: I thought this just passed Australian election was relatively benign, if uninspiring. I wasn't too surprised by the result, but given that where I live was never going to be a surprise in the outcome, I didn't invest too much into my decision. I only cast a formal vote for the Senate.

For a much higher level view of how and why nationalism and populism are on the rise, go and read this: https://www.belfercenter.org/sites/defa ... 20Fail.pdf

Until we get back again to a unipolar world with a sole superpower with a liberal internationalist weltanschauung liberal internationalism is dead.

Quillette on the election in Oz:
Progressive politicians like to assume that, on election day at least, blue-collar workers and urban progressives will bridge their differences, and make common cause to support leftist economic policies. This assumption might once have been warranted. But it certainly isn’t now—in large part because the intellectuals, activists and media pundits who present the most visible face of modern leftism are the same people openly attacking the values and cultural tastes of working and middle-class voters.
