Life Imitates ‘Art’

“After six years of working as a museum curator—at a small, a mid-size, and, currently, a very large institution—I’ve learned how nefarious the culture of white supremacy in art museums really is,” she wrote. “The PTSD from racial trauma that many of my BIPOC colleagues and I are carrying is a clear indication that art museums are absolutely not in solidarity with BIPOC people and their communities as they claim to be.” [More]

Interesting, that she quotes a communist whose “guns…were used in an armed takeover of a courtroom in Marin County, California, in which four people were killed.”

What’s her beef again? That her comrades haven’t established a totalitarian black BIPOC Marxist regime that can give white “progressives” in the art community the Pol Pot “intellectuals” treatment they’re stupidly volunteering themselves for?

We’re sharing some advice for those challenging conversations with family members around the dinner table. We believe there are ways to discuss politics that include others and make them feel heard, not alienated. Check out our post below for a few tips on how to have conflict-free gatherings. [More]

Stop demanding to sic the jackboots on us to disarm us by force and we’ll get along just fine.

No matter how much 97percent tries to present itself as the “reasonable” alternative to find “common ground,” their supporters show they just can’t control their militant hostility.

Cat Got Your Young?

“I don’t want anything bad to happen to P-22,” said Jimenez. “I just want people to be safe out there so that nothing like this happens again.” [More]

You can’t have one without the other, pal. Especially now that it knows humans are no deterrent.

Take care of the problem or wait for the “Only Ones” to do it and a child will be next. Time was the sheriff would have led a posse of armed volunteers to eliminate the threat.

We’re the Only Ones Threatening Enough

“That’s when Agent Mike turned around and told me that, in their experience, nothing ever happens to people that don’t talk about these things,” [More]

How can we learn more about the impressed-with-his-own-ominousness “Agent Mike”?

I have an AmmoLand article on Hunter’s laptop that’s been in draft form for over a month– we’re still working on ironing out some wrinkles. Hopefully, that will happen sooner rather than later.

Don’t Look at Me. Last Game I Played was Pong.

Yet a closer inspection of Activision Blizzard’s key staff and their connections to state power, as well as details gleaned from documents obtained under the Freedom of Information Act, reveal that Call of Duty is not a neutral first-person shooter, but a carefully constructed piece of military propaganda, designed to advance the interests of the U.S. national security state. [More]

Lemme know when the object is to take out “the greatest threat.”

I don’t have time to look into it, but I’d be curious to know if the Activision honchos hold the mutually exclusive positions of saying video games don’t influence real-world behavior and MAGA rhetoric causes violent hate attacks.

The Relative Silence is Explained

The public defenders for the suspect in the mass shooting at a Colorado Springs LGBTQ nightclub said in a Tuesday night court filing obtained by a New York Times reporter that their client is nonbinary and uses they/them pronouns. [More]

Did someone say “self-loathing“?

There goes the narrative!

Terms of Surrender

New York Attorney General Letitia James today cracked down on online ammunition sellers illegally shipping ammunition to New York residents and failing to keep records of these sales. An investigation by the Office of the Attorney General (OAG) found that 39 ammunition sellers have been shipping ammunition directly to New York residents in violation of New York’s SAFE Act, which prohibits direct online sales of ammunition to New York residents. Attorney General James sent cease and desist orders to these ammunition sellers demanding that they stop shipping ammunition directly to New York and warned them of serious legal consequences if they continue to violate New York’s law. [More]

The maniac doesn’t presume to rule just New Yorkers.

So: Which ammo dealers are still selling to the state?
