I think the only cases you can make for "systemic racism" are public schools and teacher unions so this is great, great news. https://t.co/WmMuv6dYdy

Republican Extremists
Shannon Brandt, 41, struck and killed [18-year-old Cayler Ellingson] with his Ford Explorer SUV early Sunday in an alley. His mother said Ellingson called and asked her if she knew Brandt (she did). The boy called again a short time later and said that “‘he’ or ‘they’ were chasing him.” The mother could no longer reach him after that.
Court documents said, “Brandt admitted to striking the pedestrian with his car because he had a political argument with the pedestrian and believed the pedestrian was calling people “to come get him.” He claimed the teen was part of an unspecified Republican “extremist group.”
Brandt was released on bond.
He was a MAGA Republican, a threat to the country like Joe Biden said. So I crushed him with my truck. To make America safe for democracy.
See You in Hell, Ime Udoka
[See You in Hell is a feature by our guest blogger, Satan — PE]
Greetings mortals —
I remember a few months ago many of you talking about Ime Udoka coaching in the NBA finals AND getting to go home to someone named Nia Long, whom many of you seem to find attractive.
I’ll share a little secret with you: No matter how hot you think someone is, there’s someone somewhere who’s bored with her.
And she’s bored with him too but at least she didn’t humiliate him in front of the entire world.
See you in Hell . . .

The Management of the Life of the People
Even in [1931] the Macmillan Report could already speak of “the change of outlook of the government of [England] in recent times, its growing preoccupation, irrespective of party, with the management of the life of the people” and add that “Parliament finds itself increasingly engaged in legislation which has for its conscious aim the regulation of the day-to-day affairs of the community and now intervenes in matters formerly thought to be entirely outside its scope.”
The Unknown Millionaire
I’m buying a soda at a local convenience store, waiting while the guy in front of me buys about 50 dollars worth of scratcher tickets.
After I pay for my soda and head out the door, I see the same guy leaning against the wall and he asks me for spare change.
“For what?” I ask. “More scratchers? You haven’t even scratched the ones you have. You might be a millionaire and not even know it.”
It All Depends on Who’s Slinging the Hash
"Cries." Boo hoo. Maybe you disagree but wishing the Queen of England an excruciating death is something one could take exception to without even knowing the race of the person who said it. https://t.co/07rFN8AVfi

I don’t think the sentiment would play any better coming from a white person.
The article goes on to say that the professor has faced “violent threats, harassment and abuse.” OK, first of all, let’s all keep our hands to ourselves. No violence. But still, of all the people who claim to have received violent threats or death threats, how many have actually been violently attacked? How many have died?
The only case that comes to my mind is Salman Rushdie, and he didn’t get a death threat from a lone nut, he got a death threat from a global religion. Other than that, I have to call bullshit on the whole “violent threat/death threat” thing. Everybody gets death threats but no one ever dies.
Now as far as harassment and abuse, I’d say that wishing someone an excruciatingly painful death falls under the heading of harassment and abuse. So if you’re going to dish out the harassment and abuse, you’d best be able to take harassment and abuse in return. You asked for it, you got it.
It all depends on who’s slinging the hash, honey.

We openly welcome all refugees and undocumented immigrants to our country, but we don’t want them in our literal back yard. That’s asinine!
Some people will say anything to fit in with the groups they want to fit in with and/or to signal that they are more caring and compassionate than the average person.
Like the people with Ukrainian flags in their social media profiles. It costs nothing. I support Ukraine! I’m not going to go to Ukraine and pick up a rifle and neither is anyone in my family. I’m not going to host Ukrainian refugees. But by posting this flag I signal that I and people like me are better people than you are.
What percentage of people with Ukrainian flags in their social media profiles are actually doing something tangible to help the people of Ukraine? I estimate 0.0.
Dark Eyes
They tell me to be discreet for all intended purposes
They tell me revenge is sweet and from where they stand, I’m sure it is
But I feel nothing for their game where beauty goes unrecognized
All I feel is heat and flame and all I see are dark eyesAnd That’s the Truth: Some Things You Caint Do

Minnesota Timberwolves ‘disappointed’ in Anthony Edwards, who apologizes for using anti-gay comments in Instagram video — espn.com
I’m gonna tell y’all a little secret. They ain’t really “disappointed” and he ain’t really sorry.
I don’t know what he said on the video. I can probly guess. I been called some names myself. Done called other people some names too. Mebbe you has too. It’s life, people, grow up.
It’s jus like Dave Chappelle says, you can kill a nigger and nobody care but you caint hurt the feelings of a gay person.
And that’s the Truth!
It Wasn’t Much Good for Reading, But . . .
I recently read Omon Ra, a Russian novel that I’d heard good things about. I didn’t really like it at all.
This afternoon, I saw some kind of a large black pincher bug on the living room carpet. My copy of Omon Ra was lying nearby and I picked it up and smashed the bug with it.
So I can’t say that the book was a complete waste of money . . .

Next, Please
Always too eager for the future, we
Pick up bad habits of expectancy.
Something is always approaching; every day
Till then we say,Watching from a bluff the tiny, clear
Sparkling armada of promises draw near.
How slow they are! And how much time they waste,
Refusing to make haste!Yet still they leave us holding wretched stalks
Of disappointment, for, though nothing balks
Each big approach, leaning with brasswork prinked,
Each rope distinct,Flagged, and the figurehead with golden tits
Arching our way, it never anchors; it’s
No sooner present than it turns to past.
Right to the lastWe think each one will heave to and unload
All good into our lives, all we are owed
For waiting so devoutly and so long.
But we are wrong:Only one ship is seeking us, a black-
Sailed unfamiliar, towing at her back
A huge and birdless silence. In her wake
No waters breed or break.Get The L Out
Get The L Out is critical of the trans ideology. They say, quite rightly, that it is erasing lesbians, both by transing young lesbians and turning them into ‘men’ and by saying that anyone can be a lesbian, even if you have a penis. So they turned up at Pride Cymru with banners saying ‘Lesbians don’t like penises’ – yes, this apparently needs to be said in 2022 . . . And what happened? They were ejected by police. By those Pride-enforcing cops of 21st-century Britain. This essentially means it has become a risky endeavour to publicly declare that you are same-sex attracted, that you are a homosexual. The idea of same-sex attraction runs counter to the post-sex, post-biology lunacy of the Pride religion, and so it is problematised, demonised, even censored. Gay rights? Pride is a threat to them, not the upholder of them.
Even the Price of Getting Up is Going Up
A friend and former colleague is telling me about a recent trip to a massage parlor . . .
“She offered to take her clothes off and give me a hand job for $140. A hundred and 40 dollars?!.
“I said, ‘I can get a hand job for $60, if you’re gonna disrobe, I can add another $20, maybe $40.’
“‘Come on,’ she says. ‘Help me out.’ I told her to just massage my feet.
“Is this inflation or what? I can’t get a naked woman to jerk me off for less than $140?! I’ve had full service for $120. Man, fuck Joe Biden.”
