THE TECH LORDS KNOW WHAT THE TRUTH IS AND WHAT YOU SHOULD BELIEVE: Amazon Won’t ‘Sell Books That Frame LGBTQ+ Identity as a Mental Illness’.
Of course, the tech lords are no such thing. They’re a bunch of pasty nerds who think they can force their way to popularity. Real tech lords, even old and fat ones, would wear cloaks and fight duels. Which proves the pulp universe was much cooler than hours.

THEY’RE PASSING ALL THEIR DREAMS: House Rushes Passage Of Two Gun Control Bills.
You see, they have broken our system and don’t think they’ll have to ever answer to voters again. What never occurred to them to ask is what happened before voting was general. Or how bad it got. What they did was disable the fire alarm and say there will never be any fires again.
EL PRESIDENTE OF THE OCCUPYING JUNTA IS NOT THE BOSS OF ME: Biden and His Snark of the Union.
Neither he nor his band of insane nihilists are the bosses of anyone. Just say no, and hoist the sign of the double middle fingers.
SO I DONATED CONVALESCENT PLASMA EARLIER TODAY. The research on it is spotty, but they’re using it a fair bit around here and seem to think it helps, and I have antibodies to spare so what the hell. The procedure was painless — much less unpleasant than I expected — and took about 45 minutes, not counting the paperwork. They take out blood, filter out the plasma, then replace the red cells and enough saline to make up the volume. People say it’s cold, and I could tell, but they put a heated blanket on me so it was fine. I’ll be able to go back and give my usual whole blood in a month, but I figured this was worth doing.
(Bumped, to encourage you to donate plasma, or blood, or whatever. Robert Heinlein would approve.)

AND YET WE’RE TOLD HE WON IN A LANDSLIDE: POLL: Americans ‘Worried’ About Biden’s ‘Ability To Do The Job.’

HMM: Bulgaria suspends AstraZeneca vaccine use. “Bulgarian Prime Minister Boyko Borisov on Friday suspended use of AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 vaccine, following similar steps in Denmark, Iceland and Norway over safety concerns.”
Some background here.
ARTHUR CHRENKOFF: On Being Transethnnic. “It remains permissible to ridicule and castigate those revealed to have adopted a racial/ethnic identity different to the biological/genetic fact of their birth (such as Jessica Krug, an associate professor at George Washington University, who had to recently apologise for portraying herself as African-American while in reality being Jewish). Though, in a partial exception to this rule, any proportion of Indigenous ancestry (such as one great-grandparent) seems to be enough to self-identify as Indigenous, and it borders on a hate crime (at least in Australia, as Andrew Bolt has found out a few years ago) to question the basis and the logic of such identification. Yet if both gender and race are social constructs devoid of any underlying objective reality (and why not ethnicity too?) then why can’t you feel like you have been born in a wrong part of the world – in a wrong skin?”
SHUT UP AND SOLDIER: Woke DOD Attacks Tucker Carlson for Criticizing Biden’s Woke Military Changes. Carlson responded: “Since when does the Pentagon declare war on a domestic news operation? We can’t remember that ever happening. But we’re going to pass on that, because this is bigger than a feud with some flack at the Pentagon. This is genuinely worrisome.”

Or “areas where there is a problem with sexual harassment” may be a code word for “Muslim immigrant neighborhoods,” though in that case he’s got to worry about beheading, not tar and feathers.
YES. NEXT QUESTION? Do They Have Teenage Girls Running the Pentagon’s News Site Now?
Imagine the reaction if the Pentagon under Trump had gone after an opinion writer for expressing their opinion.
