WE’RE JUST SUPPOSED TO ELECT HER AND FOLLOW HER BECAUSE SHE’S YOUNG, WELL MADE UP AND HAS A VAGINA. WHY DON’T WE UNDERSTAND THAT? ‘Just Like Catcalling’: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Blasts Ben Shapiro for Challenging Her to a Debate. Yeah, I DO know I posted about this earlier. But it’s Jim Treacher and I’ve loved his work since forever. DEAL.

THIS IS PURE EVIL, RIGHT HERE: Power Outlet Sticker Prank At Airport Goes Viral.
As if flying didn’t suck enough already.

RICHARD SPENCER: Wilsonian Progressive? “As I interviewed Spencer, I kept saying to myself, obviously this guy is not a conservative, but what is he? He’s not a progressive in the contemporary sense, either. And yet his ideas are so familiar. Only toward the end of the interview did it hit me. Spencer’s views are virtually identical to those of the progressive racists of the Woodrow Wilson era. He even dresses the part. Basically, the guy is a relic.”
JACK DUNPHY: HERE’S WHY THE NASHVILLE POLICE SHOOTING WASN’T A ‘GOVERNMENT-SANCTIONED MURDER.’ “Daniel Hambrick made several choices on July 26, all of them bad. Put the blame for his death where it belongs.”
Read the whole thing.
OPEN THREAD: Make it the threadiest yet.
MORE DEPLATFORMING: Twitter Shuts Down Accounts of Vice Co-Founder Gavin McInnes, Proud Boys Ahead of ‘Unite the Right’ Rally. “Twitter’s suspension of McInnes and the Proud Boys also comes as the company is under fire for not suspending the accounts of far-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones and his Infowars media outlet even after Apple and Facebook banned Jones from their platforms.”
THIS WAS A RUNNING GAG IN THE “CATHY” COMIC STRIP, I THINK: Low-calorie diets affect men’s and women’s bodies differently, study shows.
21st CENTURY HEADLINES. Make The Milky Way Great Again: Top Priorities for Trump’s Visionary Space Force.
Once the U.S. military has conquered space, Trump should direct our forces to get to work on a solution to “climate change,” in the unlikely but not impossible event that liberals are right and the whole thing isn’t, in fact, an elaborate Chinese hoax. It’s anyone’s guess as to how this might be accomplished, which is why Space Force should not hesitate to experiment by, for example, detonating a bunch of tactical nukes in space and just seeing what happens. Would environmental fanatics really miss the moon if blowing it to shreds helped stem the tide of rising sea levels they’re always complaining about? I don’t think so!
Indeed. True space visionaries have long seen nuking the moon as the realistic plan to bringing about world peace.
NO SOONER DID I READ THIS THAN I GOT ONE OF THOSE FAKE-IRS ROBOCALLS: Why No One Answers Their Phone Anymore: Telephone culture is disappearing.
I also wonder if one reason people talk less on the phone is that most people use cellphones and the connection usually sucks, especially if it’s cellphones at both ends.
