Would’ja Look At That Dead Heartbeat…

Radiologists and students studying the practice will now be instructed to avoid referring to first-trimester babies as “living” or “live,” according to new guidelines developed by a panel of scholars. [More]

Speaking of Compensating

This is not to excuse pornography, but rather refocus inquiry and reflection (as I do here) on the ways in which guns amplify phallocentrism. [More]

Academia sent me a link to this 2007 “study.”

Sounds like author C. Richard King has too much time on his hands and/or too much of something else in his hands…

He even cites SPLC’s Mark Pitcavage, who looks like his hands wouldn’t reach, at least his own…

BREAKING: Academic Discovers Violent Crime Not Committed by ‘Law-Abiding’!

“If state lawmakers really want to reduce gun violence, the most effective policy they can enact is one that requires permits in order to purchase or possess a gun.” [More]

Don’t bother telling author Michael Siegel that “correlation = causation” is a logical fallacy. He knows.

But that trough won’t fill itself.

An Effective Combination

For the crime of running a huge survey on defensive gun use in the U.S. that was not forced into the narrative structure of today’s gun-control activism, William English, an assistant professor at Georgetown University’s McDonough School of Business, has been subpoenaed, attacked in The New York Times and by many other “mainstream” outlets and, basically, pilloried in order to, as he put it in The Wall Street Journal, “warn off other academics thinking of doing similar research, and to influence courts where states are losing on the merits.” [More]

Mission Impossible

Medical Journal The Lancet Abandons Science, Tells Authors to Use ‘Sex Assigned at Birth’ – “…the terms ‘sex’ and ‘gender’ can be ambiguous…” [More]

“Your assignment, if you chose to accept it…”

And “assigned” by whom…?

Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got to go put on a towel and fly around the yard.

Per Aspera ad Astra

“Trayvon Martin’s flight suit tells the story of a dream of space flight ended tragically by earthbound violence”… [More]

Along with Lt. Uhura’s uniform Chadwick Boseman’s Black Panther costume…

Sadly, the venerable Smithsonian has gone the way of Scientific American: Politicized “progressive” dreck.

Cosplay is now “achievement” enough. We’re supposed to believe if not for “a series of unfortunate events,” the life path the martyred Mr. Martin had set for himself was this close to being able to do the calculations that brought Apollo 13 home.

Forget that Uhura, and everything she said were products of white producers and writers, with no small amount of politically correct network pressure to “cast Negroes” in the first place, and that Wakanda and T’Challa were African stereotypes created by Stan Lee (Stanley Martin Lieber) and Jack Kirby (Jacob Kurtzberg).

Instead, sell the idea that playing make believe is a claim to entitlement. When I was, like six, I remember using a towel for a cape, sticking my arms out in front of me, making whooshing sounds through my mouth, running through the yard and pretending I was Superman. This is every bit as childish.

So, naturally, Essence puts on a towel and runs with it.

I’ve heard it called “the soft bigotry of low expectations,” but it’s more destructively insidious and subversive than that, victimizing those who believe the DEI Stooge Syndrome is their royal road to enfranchisement, and those it has the power to make political and economic demands on.

The President of United Earth would approve.
