AH YES. THEY’VE FORGOTTEN THAT:  Witches Float.

WELCOME TO THE PARTY, PAL, MA’AM, ER… LADY, ER… PERSON OF HERETOFORE AMAZING IGNORANCE, CONSIDERING YOUR DEGREE:  The History of Women in Sci-Fi Isn’t What You Think.

Also, on the contraire: those of us who think, let alone those who love the genre always knew better.  But deprecating the achievements of true pioneers is the only way for the current, lackluster darlings of the establishment to claim they’re storming the ramparts.  Yep. My field is just like journalism. And the reckoning? Some would say it’s already in progress.

WHICH COULD BE AN ISOLATED THING EXCEPT FOR VIRGINIA TRYING TO FOLLOW SUIT:  The Murderous State of New York.

Look, guys, the first of our inalienable rights is the right to life. You give anyone, mother, doctor or state the right to destroy an individual at birth, our Constitution is moot.

LOOK, IT’S NOT A SLIPPERY SLOPE. IT’S A LONG MARCH:  Our Calhoun moment.

I LIKE ENM.  IT SO CLEARLY STANDS FOR ENEMYCrime and Credibility.

Which is why the Washington Post is dying in the dark. Because there are none so blind as those who refuse to see.

OKAY, SO LET’S COUNT THE CRAZY: 1-VERY FEW PEOPLE EVER HAD HEARD OF THIS MAN. SO UNLESS HE HAD “GAY” STAMPED ON HIS FOREHEAD, THEY WOULDN’T BE SHOUTING “HOMOPHOBIC” ANYTHING; 2-MAGA IS NOT SOMETHING ANYONE SHOUTS EVER. NO, SERIOUSLY. WHO THE HECK YELLS MAGA, MUCH LESS SAYS SOMETHING LIKE “MAGA COUNTRY” WHILE ATTACKING SOMEONE; 3-THE CHANCES OF THE PERPS LURKING IN SUBZERO WEATHER IN AN AFFLUENT SECTION OF CHICAGO, CARRYING A ROPE AND AN “UNKNOWN CHEMICAL” ON THE OFF-CHANCE OF RUNNING INTO THE BLACK GAY ACTOR OF A LITTLE KNOWN SERIES ARE… WELL, NOT IMPOSSIBLE. ABOUT THE SAME AS CONFISCATION OF WEALTH LEADING TO NATIONAL PROSPERITY: You believe Jussie Smollet?  Well, the wealthy nation of Venezuela agrees.  Jussie Smollett Story Enters Twilight Zone.

I’M HOPEFULLY BACK TO REGULAR POSTING. I’VE BEEN FIGHTING OFF ZOMBIE VIRUS FROM HECK. YOU KILL IT AND IT COMES BACK. MEANWHILE…  I, like the majority of Americans, didn’t really watch the Superbowl, but my husband likes keeping up with it, so he’d now and then come in and look at the stream, while I was working on something different.  Which enabled to me to catch some commercial bragging about how their players pursued social justice.  And then there was the Washington Post commercial. Washington Post union leader blasts company for high-dollar Super Bowl ad.

It amuses me that the outrage is how much they paid, and not how blatantly stupid it was.

Dear Washington Post.  yes, democracy dies and darkness.  But the majority of the public has seen you holding the pillow over democracy’s face to make sure it dies. And once we’ve seen it we can’t unseen it. Soon your only function will be stocking the bathrooms at CNN after they stop being able to afford toilet paper and before they fold.

Enjoy the ride.
