MOST CONSERVATIVE CARTOONISTS ARE INDIE NOW. AND THRIVING:  Learn to Code: The Cartoonist Edition.

Like, Day by Day.

Or the increasingly more red-pilled: Sinfest.  (Yes, he started on the left. Then something happened.)

I know there are others. But it’s late, and my mind is blank. However I’m sure there will be recommendations in the comments.

TO BE FAIR, OUR TAX MONEY HAS PAID FOR GREATER CRIMES:  Ex-Energy Official Sam Brinton was on Tax-Payer Funded Secret Trip at Time of Luggage Theft.

Though perhaps few crazier.

DETERMINEDLY ANTI-STUPID:  In-N-Out Reportedly Won’t Allow Employees to Wear Masks Without a Doctor’s Note.

I guess the hysteria is over. Also, honestly, do you want to be served by masked people? Because I don’t. For one, I like understanding what people say, and being slightly (coff) deaf, I do a lot of lip-reading.

I’M NOT THE MAIDEN; I’M NO LONGER THE MOTHER; IT STANDS TO REASON I MUST BE… THE OTHER:  Though Hell Should Bar the Way.

DID SOMEONE TELL THEM IT’S A BAD LOOK?  California Democrats retreat on their effort to defend child slavers.

WITH PRETTY PICTURES: Day 12 of fifteen of Blog Funding.

Including equal opportunity hot science fiction people…. Look, there’s some guys too, okay?

CONSIDERING HOW WELL WOKE MOVIES ARE PERFORMING, THE STRIKE MAY BE THE ONLY THING KEEPING THAT SHIP AFLOAT:  Billionaire Warns Hollywood Faces ‘Absolute Collapse’ If Strike Isn’t Resolved.

IN OTHER NEWS:  “…the Dog returns to his Vomit and the Sow returns to her Mire,
And the burnt Fool’s bandaged finger goes wabbling back to the Fire.”  Intelligence Officials Previously Warned Ottawa About TikTok’s Data-Harvesting Methods: Report.

GEEZE, HARVARD, WE THOUGHT THE AFFIRMATIVE ACTION KERFUFFLE WAS A BAD LOOK …  Arrests Have Been Made in a Human Remains Trade Tied to Harvard Medical School—Here’s What to Know.

THIS EXPLAINS SO VERY, VERY MUCH …  Cannabis Use in Pregnancy Could Harm Development of Fetal Male Sex Organs, Study Says.

I don’t know why anyone would think it wouldn’t have deleterious effects in pregnancy. I’m tired of the “magical pot” cult. It’s a drug. Those have effects. If you can, avoid it during pregnancy, you should do so, be it a prescription drug or a recreational one.

AND REMEMBER, YOU GET MORE OF WHAT YOU PAY FOR!  Rewarding failure in New York City.

THERE ARE PEOPLE STILL FIGHTING FOR FREEDOM:  KJI appeals Covey Find Kennel 4th Amendment case.

THE RAPE OF THE LANGUAGE STARTED IN THE NINETIES WITH THINGS LIKE HERSTORY:  A growing problem with pronouns.

Now they’ve got language tied down and are trying to rape it to death. I say we rescue it. I mean, sure, languages evolve and change, but this kind of imposed change makes it non-functional, and less usable. And I’ve had enough of it.

IT’S ONE OF THOSE IDEAS THAT SOUNDED COOL IN THE SEVENTIES:  Space Hookers Must Die!

Yes, yes, people who want to do the work, should be able to, legally, but somehow the “future hookers” are in some way compelled. Maybe that adds to the thrill. And none of them have the motivations of real hookers either. Frankly, like with the “world with all women” I think it’s a way for nerdy editors/directors to fantasize about having women at their command who will do anything, “anything, man!”

ON SUNDAYS I DO A PROMO POST FOR (MOSTLY INDIE) AUTHORS:  Blog Funding, Book Promo and Vignettes by Luke, Mary Catelli and ‘Nother Mike.

Yes, I rolled the blog funding onto it, because it was that kind of day.

SO, ABOUT THOSE UFOs:  A new species of critter was just discovered in Los Angeles parks. It has nearly 500 legs and a “Predator-style head”.

IF I CAN’T TELL WHAT IT IS FROM THIS ARTICLE OR A WEB SEARCH, IT’S ALREADY FAILING:  ‘Anti-Woke’ Alternative to Amazon to go Public This Month.

And if it’s “connecting” people, it’s more Etsy than Amazon.

Listen, I hate to shatter bubbles, but if you want to compete with the woke giants, just saying “but we’re right wing” won’t do it. You need to be better: more convenient, more expansive, easier to access. Yes, it’s tough. But that’s what you need. People are too busy and too broke to sacrifice too far for ideological purity. This has been shown again and again. I’m sorry.

SO CALIFORNIA, SO COMPLETELY INSANE:  California assembly passes affirmative action in sentencing law.

AN EVEN MORE UNLIKABLE HARPY THAN HILARY? REALLY?  Michelle Obama For President.

TELLING THE TRUTH IS OBVIOUSLY FROWNED UPON. AN YET WE ALL KNOW IT:  Prof Sparks Liberal Outrage by Suggesting Her Career Would Have Been Easier if She Was Black and a Lesbian.

HE’S STILL A DEMOCRAT. BUT HE’S GETTING IN THE HABIT OF TELLING THE TRUTH:  RFK Jr.: ‘Climate Change Is Being Used to Control Us Through Fear’.

My guess is this will not be tolerated.

THEY’RE QUITE LITERALLY FIGHTING FOR HUMAN SURVIVAL:  After Netherlands, Ireland’s Farmers Fight Back Against EU Climate Regulations.

One degree or two warmer won’t kill us. On the contrary. Humans thrive in warm climates. But not growing food? That will kill us all dead. The “environmentalists” are actually anti-human.

I’M GOING TO BET ON CLOSER TO 75%:  Hybrid Work Trends May Result in Office Space Demand Falling 38 Percent by 2030, Says McKinsey.

THEY CLEANED THEIR ELECTIONS: How The Battleground State Of Iowa Turned Red.

It’s kind of funny, you know? Whenever elections are cleaned up, the state goes red. Whenever you get crazy stuff like all vote by mail*, it goes blue. it’s almost like all the left has is fraud. But then again, it has it abundantly, right?

*Yes, I had spelled that “male.” — thank you to Roger Kimball for alerting me. I guess the rest of you were too busy snerking — When I say this past week was week from heck, I wasn’t joking, between trying to finish projects, fund raise the blog, and deal with post-surgical spouse…  Well, see, when I’m very tired, my fingers take dictation from my ears. And my fingers are very, very dumb.

OH, ABOUT TIME:  Donor Pulls Six Figure Donation From Arizona State University, Citing “Left-wing Hostility And Activism”.
