OPEN THREAD: There’s always some evil mothers, they’ll tell you life is full of dirt. Nowadays, they’re probably tenured, or pundits, or something.
The Lonesome Coyotes version of this is even better, but I only ever heard it live and I can’t find it on YouTube.
NEVER UNDERESTIMATE JOE’S ABILITY TO FUCK THINGS UP:
PRIORITIES: NASA says it supports employees’ use of pronouns amid online criticism.. “NASA is fully committed to supporting every employee’s right to be addressed by their correct name and pronouns. All NASA employees currently have the option and flexibility to include their gender pronouns in their customized email signature blocks. This option remains unchanged and is supported by NASA leadership so that employees can share their gender identities and show allyship to the LGBTQIA+ community.”
Against whom are they allied?

He’s senile and out of touch, but at some level of what’s left of his mind he knows he’s blowing it.
I’M KIND OF WONDERING IF CHINA STIRRED THIS WHOLE THING UP IN THE HOPES OF WEAKENING BOTH RUSSIAN AND THE U.S.:
EARTHQUAKE: “The survey also found Republicans making gains among minority groups. By 9 percentage points, Hispanic voters in the new poll said they would back a Republican candidate for Congress over a Democrat. The two parties had been tied among Hispanic voters in the Journal’s survey in November. Democratic margins also eroded among Black voters, who favored a Democrat for Congress by 35 percentage points in the new survey, down from 56 points in November. Support for a Republican candidate rose to 27% among Black voters, up from 12% in November.”
Flashback: Dems are losing the multiracial working class on basic lifestyle issues.
LET THEM DRIVE TESLAS.
When Harris and Buttigieg get together, it’s Platitudicon. As it was this week, when, as the reality of imminent historic gas price spikes was hitting Americans, the duo spent the day promoting electric cars, the Green New Deal, and the Environmental Protection Agency’s soon-to-be-tightened emissions standards.
When it comes to energy, the Democrats adopt a bizarre elitist disconnect: Propelled by theological belief in end-of-days climate alarmism, they assume that Americans will join them in losing all sense of perspective and proportionality.
Despite the perpetual championing of electric vehicles, less than 1% of cars, SUVs, and light trucks on the road in the United States are electric.
The average cost of an electric car is $55,000. Even with layers of subsidies that artificially bring it that low, the average price of an electric car is around $19,000 higher than the price of an average gas-powered vehicle. The average Tesla goes for around $75,000. Leasing the Model S, not at the high end of the Tesla line, is still likely to cost you more than $600 per month.
Not everyone is pulling in Ocasio-Cortez bucks. Even if they are, they’re probably more concerned about functionality than pricey virtue-signaling.
Why would a couple with kids shun a perfectly useful gas-powered car that, until recently, could be cheaply fueled and easy to drive any distance and in any environment?
Fossil fuels are the most efficient, affordable, portable, and useful form of energy. And we have a vast supply of them. In recent years, the U.S. has become the world’s largest oil producer. There are tens of billions of easily accessible barrels of offshore fossil fuels here at home—and much more around the world. We have centuries’ worth of it waiting in the ground.
Not enough graft from (American) oil.
THE ADULTS ARE BACK IN CHARGE, WE WERE TOLD:
THE LEFT ALWAYS WANTS ORDINARY PEOPLE TO LIVE CIRCUMSCRIBED LIVES:

Some years ago the Insta-Wife had a guy try to reach into her car. She tried to run him down. He got away, but hopefully was less aggressive in the future.
THIS CONCEPT HAS GOTTEN WAY OUT OF HAND: Micro-aggressions. Micro-aggressions. Micro-aggressions. Micro-aggressions. I pity the young people who are being trained to be traumatized by so-called micro-aggressions. It’s not so easy for them to understand that the folks peddling this stuff are doing them a massive disservice.
Why has the concept become so fashionable? I think The Roots of Wokeness tells the story pretty accurately. Hint: Always follow the money.

NOT THE ONION: Vulva Spaceship aims to counter prevalence of phallic spacecraft. “WBF? argues that as well as being symbolically inclusive, the ship would be ‘surprisingly aerodynamic’ because the V-shape creates little drag as the craft leaves Earth’s atmosphere – proving that there is room for non-phallic shapes in space.”
NOW OUT FROM ANDREW WAREHAM: England, Home and . . .
TO BE FAIR, SHE’S AN IDIOT: Elizabeth Warren Says the Solution to High Gas Prices Is Higher Taxes on Oil Companies. “Leaving aside the fact that the senator has evidently never met a corporate tax she didn’t want to hike, history shows that imposing a windfall profits tax on oil is particularly shortsighted.”
