Jake,

Enco, that was funny. I don’t think it was wokeism.

Be not fooled, Jake. Off camera, that Woke-bigoted pony was telling that woman:

“After Tha’ Man let y’all go, he put yolks on my kind and we had to take up the slack! We’re above you on the Intersectional Oppression Olympics Totem Pole! Hell, James Watt culturally appropriated from us w…[Read more]

So does this mean Pope Leo XIV will treat the Laity as numbers?

No, he sees them as sheep and then he counts them 🙂

Now that The Cuddly One is gone, I guess that Pope Love XI will be more of the same…..

I made enough to buy a few of those ponies but tomorrow i may lose half a dozen.

And in fairy tales. Imagine if a pope got elected and then declared; “Sorry folks, it’s all bullshit!”

Jake,

Before you celebrate your winnings, just know that the mind-virus of Wokeism has gone zoonotic, from homo sapiens to equine:

And like all religion, Wokeism poisons everything, including cosmetic ads.

Mister Ed, Esquire will be in touch. 🎠

 If it had not been for the ancient Jews of Israel no Christianity or Islam. How can anyone say what would have filled the void? Some other nonsense but would it have been more tolerant or rational?

I doubt it. The ancient Aztecs sacrificed their children to appease. Practiced slavery as well. Attila The Hun did not follow YHWH. You didn’t wanna…[Read more]

Eyes of Viktoria a horse i bet at 12 years old who only came on to make board and not win at Suffolk Downs. Poor lady. Brave and like so many brave in an uncaring universe are defeated and the common notion of a just world is laid bankrupt. The Muslim terrorist who beheaded journalist Perlman reported dead as India strikes Muslim Pakistan which…[Read more]

Simon,

Individuality is related to freedom. The British believe in individuality, or at least, it’s celebrated alongside conformity.

Obviously not celebrated equally when the government tells people to think before they post on social media.

Strega,

She was in a classroom around age twelve, and the class was required to write the one word they felt typified Americans. Everyone else wrote “Individuality”, and she wrote “Conformity” 🙂

This isn’t a country that celebrates individualism. We would be looking at the conformists to introduce new education programs promoting individua…

Jake,

loaded question number one. Not gonna address the union secured and tenured part. I will just say in general our compulsory education generally fails in that regard. Occasionally a teacher of unusual perspicuity and concern makes a difference. In general however it is closer to all in all just another brick in the wall.

I wasn’t meaning…[Read more]

@_Robert_  Put you and her on an 8:30 AM train and it is a completely different picture…

I agree and it usually was. I had (have) no problem with anyone being a goth. I am all for people expressing their own individuality, especially with a subversive or non-conformist undertone towards “the system”.  I lived in a squat house with 12 people f…[Read more]

I went for an end of term dinner in an Elementary School in the USA for some relations who were probably about ages 910  at the time. I don’t recall the menu but I will always remember the notice at the front entrance over the flowerbeds. It read “No firearms beyond this point”.

The most common reply I get from ChatGPT is “Great catch”. Then I wait for the next reply and check it too……..
