The Kavanaugh “scandal”

The other victim.

She’s lucky she wasn’t called a nut and a slut, as they were going to do with Lewinsky.

The asymmetry here is striking with these horrible people. In the case of Clinton, they were pressuring women to lie to protect a rapist. In this case, they pressured a woman to lie to falsely accuse a good man of being a rapist. In both cases, these people who (in some cases are the same people) hold themselves up as righteous paragons of virtue, though they are in fact monsters seeking nothing but power.

Cats

Yes, of course they bond with their owners.

Ember is almost a year old now (how time flies) and he’s almost like a dog in his desire for affection. Ashe is a little more aloof, but she likes to be on my lap while I work.

Per requests in comments, here are some pics. These are the kittens on the stairs, a few days after we got them at Christmas. Ashe is on the left, and we didn’t know that Ember (who was smaller at the time) was a boy. [Bumped]

Climate Hysteria

…is harming our kids.

Yes, she should be in school, but not in a school that has deranged her to this degree. And not only are not “all” of us coming to her for hope, but I doubt that many are. This is another example of government schools being a vicious form of child abuse.

[Mid-morning update]

An unrolled Twitter thread from a mother with an autistic child on why what her handlers are doing to her is so cruel and abusive.

[Update early afternoon]

She hasn’t cured her mental issues; she’s simply found a different outlet for them. But her adult enablers are doing her no favors.

Fox News cuts ties with Michael Knowles over calling Thunberg “mentally ill.”

I saw that segment, and the outrage (probably faux) from the Democrat. Well, he wasn’t wrong; she is clearly having problems, and shouldn’t be used as a prop for socialism.

The apotheosis of Saint Greta.

I’m glad Trump didn’t bow to her. I wouldn’t have, either.

[Update a while later]

The media is very protective of teenagers, unless they’re wearing MAGA hats.

[Wednesday-morning update]

Experts agree that restructuring the global economy is the best way to treat a child’s anxiety.

Google And Facebook

They’re entering their toxic endgame.

I try to minimize my engagement with both of them, but with an Android phone, it’s hard to avoid Google. But I’ll never download or use an app for Facebook.

[Saturday-morning update]

The useful idiots of Silicon Valley.

They’re wrecked California, and now there’s a danger that they’ll do the same thing to the rest of the country.
