The Other McCain is up first with Why Do Democrats Hate Women? On some recent Democratic primary elections.

It’s battered women’s syndrome — they keep going back to the abuser, thinking he’ll change his ways if they just love him enough.

Pixy Misa at Ace of Spades HQ - Daily Tech News 27 August 2022, with a bonus musical interlude from Hololive.

You can finally edit your tweets. (WCCFTech)

All you have to do is pay Twitter five bucks a month.

I can't blame them for doing this seeing as how I suggested it as the only feature anyone would be willing to pay for. But nor am I going to pay them one thin dime unless and until Elon Musk takes them over and purges their ranks with fire and sword.

Lawrence Person's BattleSwarm Blog - San Francisco Shop Owners Reach Their Breaking Point

Of all big American cities, San Francisco seems to have had the longest, closest look at what happens when you let the radical left wing of the Democratic Party run your city for decades on end. A half century of Social Justice has turned San Francisco into a literal shithole filled with drug-addicted shooting up and defecating on city streets.

DC Clothesline - Vaccinated blood is tainted blood, study finds. An Italian study...

Of the 1,006 cases analyzed, a mere 58 of them, or 5.77 percent, showed normal hematology upon microscopic analysis – meaning the blood was healthy. The other 94.23 percent of samples were discovered to be loaded with foreign objects “of unclear origin.”

Again from The Other McCain - Affidavit, Laugh-idavit

Trump’s lawyers have pointed out that the affidavit raises more questions than it answers. Everything about this raid stinks of political motivation, and Margot Cleveland is probably pretty close to the target in saying that this was just a “get Trump” fishing expedition.

Granite Grok - The Eavesdropper

A real tragedy that Americans have lost their Fourth Amendment right to privacy! Did anyone think to restrain the makers of cell phones from listening in on every conversation? I don’t mean just what is said between caller and callee. I mean, yer basic CIA can hear whatever you say NEAR your phone.

Power Line - Case Study in Leftist Ideology Path Dependence. The difference between AIDS and Monkeypox is the time.

My hunch was that it’s not 1983 any more, and that straight talk (no pun intended) to gays about the risks of Monkeypox would not summon forth an ideological reaction. Times have changed, and the ideology of sexual freedom uber alles is no longer the primary principle of the gay community.

And sure enough, UPI reports today:

Survey shows gay men cutting back on sex to avoid monkeypox

Samizdata - “Little by little the truth of lockdown is being admitted”

A retired and now ennobled supreme court judge writes in the Times that the decisions of the government during a crisis were wise and good and that if, perchance, any slight errors were made, fear not, lessons will be learned.

Bzzt. Click. System error. Commence program reset.

A retired and now ennobled supreme court judge – Lord Sumption – writes in the Times that “Little by little the truth of lockdown is being admitted: it was a disaster”.

One more time from The Other McCain - Have We Reached Peak ‘Woke’ Yet? Imagine a world where the Left wants to cancel someone because her family members have political views which with the Left disagrees.

Can we please stop this deranged “woke” witch-hunt mentality, in which we are expected to be outraged that white people in Idaho are voting Republican?
