Pre-Cable TV is what it all boils down to. Literacy, wit, reserve, audacity, intrepidity. Like the phenotypic traits of an endangered species.

The Home Care Service in Sweden hired a Syrian gangster to take care of the elderly. It ended with him recording himself abusing and torturing them while shouting “Allahu Akbar” @samhallsnytt reports that 22-year-old Abdulrahman Al Khleef Almasalmeh from Syrianis being prosecuted for abusing, assaulting and mistreating 15 elderly people. The man, who arrived in Sweden as a refugee in 2015, was a member of a criminal gang and had previously been sentenced for robbing and tormenting several Swedish youths while armed with a gun. The investigation into the home care abuses has in total involved 15 complainants, with the oldest being a 99-year-old woman. In one video, his victim is a 92-year-old Swedish woman. “You look like a monkey!” he says to the woman while pointing at her. Abdulrahman Al Khleef Almasalmeh then swings his open hand toward the woman’s face without hitting her. Instead, he grabs her nose and yanks it while making a honking sound. He continues to insult the elderly woman in Arabic: “You whore! I swear I’m going to curse you! he says,” and adds: “Eat shit you whore!” In other video clips, an 81-year-old man is subjected to abuse and torture. First, the Syrian home care worker repeatedly calls his victim “son of a whore.” Then the 81-year-old is tormented in the shower as the 22-year-old Syrian pours ice-cold water on him. “I swear by Allah that I will make you freeze,” Al Khleef Almasalmeh is heard screaming in Arabic. The mobile phone videos were found on a mobile phone in connection with another criminal investigation. At the end of November last year, while the police investigation against Al Khleef Almasalmeh was ongoing, he was suspended from work with full pay. But the day after the New Year holiday, on January 2nd this year, he was allowed to return to his job in home care. “Since we don’t know more about the investigation, we cannot suspend him for more than one month, says the home care unit manager Maid Prnjavorac in a police interview. The 22-year-old Syrian therefore remained at his workplace until he was arrested by the police on the morning of January 19th. Abdulrahman Al Khleef Almasalmeh came to Sweden from Syria together with his parents and 5 siblings during the 2015 European Migration crisis 2015. He was made a Swedish citizen 3 years later and therefore can’t be deported for his crimes now. Despite Al Khleef Almasalmeh having been sentenced for 2 cases of assault and 5 cases of unlawful threats from his past as a gangster, he was hired in March last year by the home care service in Örebro. The person who hired Abdulrahman Al Khleef Almasalmeh was the home care unit manager Maid Prnjavorac. Prnjavorac does not want to answer @samhallsnytt’s questions when they call him. Instead, he refers to his boss Sahra Strandberg, who serves as the acting operations manager. In case anyone wonders how it is growing old in Sweden after paying 40% of your salary in tax for decades, this case explain a lot.

@MelanieBennet_ If this succeeds, the ruling would effectively make it illegal to operate a workplace that communicates in the official languages but would allow any random foreign language, if spoken by enough employees, to take over. Nothing is too outrageous or counter prod. for progressives.

Vanessa Casila served a customer in Tagalog but was told that this particular Saskatchewan Starbucks has an English-only policy. She claimed the policy is racist and filed a human rights complaint. The article explains that Casila "argued that the English-only policy was based on racist customer complaints, that it disproportionately affected the many Filipino employees who worked at the hospital Starbucks, and in an indirect way, it affected her." "She cited a memo that was sent to one particular employee, reminding them to speak English in the interest of not excluding workers and customers. The characterization of non-English speech as disrespectful, she said, implicitly labelled Tagalog speakers as rude."

@MythoYookay Plop this guy in a little sailboat in the North Sea, tell him it’s a very important mission, riddle of the sands, don’t come back until you’ve figured it out. Will provide some reprieve from the barrage of stupidity for a year or so.

@MelanieBennet_ For starters being a retarded influencer should be a fireable offence for teachers. There are enough terrible narcissistic influences already, they don’t need their teacher to embody it as well.

Change is going to be very difficult for lots of these teachers who've become accustomed to living in an echo chamber of their own making. They will pretend not to understand, they'll protest, and I expect--when that all fails--they'll try to subvert. None of it matters because the majority of parents are done. They just want their kids to learn math without being beaten over the head with social justice moralizing. Teachers will simply have to get used to being told "no."

@RamboVanHalen To answer his question: thorough purges and ‘reeducation school’ two weekends of every month followed by field and mine work for a living wage so long as agreed upon stipulations (contract signed in reeducation school) are met (no libtardism.)

Today Rambo Jr had a field trip to (wait for it) Dave & Busters... My son is on the high school yearbook staff. I guess in our Current Year, big corporations do the actual yearbook publication. The schools pays the mega corp, and the megacorp gives software, cameras, and some training to the kids so they can put it together themselves. Today the training session was at Dave & Buster's. So the kids got to run around and do Dave & Buster's stuff, then sit through seminars in between rounds of skeeball. So I'm driving my son home. I asked him (like a good dad) if he learned anything useful. He got that confused embarrassed uncomfortable look which told me he didn't want to talk about what happened. But, I pressed him anyway. And my son informed me that none of the presenters seemed to know what they were talking about. My son is a very good illustrator (he drew my X PFP), and he's got some graphic design skills. He's also learning photography. I'm helping him a bit--and letting him borrow my nice camera + lenses for school assignments--but he's getting most of his photography knowledge from youtube. AND from practical assignments, like shooting football games, school concerts, plays, dances, etc. He understands exposure and framing and lighting and his Lightroom skills are becoming impressive. So I trust him when he tells me that the photography lecturer didn't understand the basics of photography. Rambo Jr was bewildered by this. He asked me how adults could be so bad at their jobs. And I guess that's a shock for a kid. Because you grow up thinking that adults know what they're doing. And one day you figure out that it's not true. That maybe they know less about photography and design than a high school freshman. Still driving home, I was reminded of the Axel Oxenstierna quote, "Do you not know, my son, with how little wisdom the world is governed?" No, he didn't know. I know, but sometimes it's hard to believe. Because I want to think that it's not true. Because the alternative is too frightening. But I think my son gets it. And that's good. Because some people never get it. So I tried to explain things the best I could without being cynical. I think a cynical dad is bad for a kid. So I try to hide that part of me. But I still told him the truth. I said there's a gap between the credentialed and the competent. You need credentials to get the job. But credentials (which are merely pieces of paper) don't come with competence and experience. As an example I told him about my experiences working with recent film school grads. Often have very expensive (and even prestigious) degrees, but don't know the basics of film making. And I told him about how the film professors are even worse than the students. Because even tho they know nothing about filmmaking they think they know everything. I think he got it. Because he asked me an astute question. He asked, "So how do we close the gap between competence and credentials?" That stumped me. Because I have no fucking clue. And I told him as much. Because it's true. Anyway, my kid went on a field trip to Dave & Buster's. And I think that's kinda cool🤷‍♂️

@CBA_News Really beyond the pale, here, attempting to use your position to suppress legitimate critique. You talk about undermining public confidence? How shameful. You should be disbarred. Disgusting what’s come of our once respectable institutions. Resign.

CBA President Bianca Kratt, K.C., warns that recent media commentary questioning the impartiality of a sitting judge of the Ontario Superior Court risks undermining public confidence in the judiciary. 🔗 Read the full statement: bit.ly/4sQV4Pi

@sarkonakj @CarsonJerema It’s demoralizing to point it out but this is going to become increasingly more common as radicalized cohorts age into more senior positions in the legal field and judicial appointments. Glad there are people like yourself with the courage and integrity to bring it to light.

@CarsonJerema Thank you for your support. This sets a troubling standard that would expose every member of the media to similar attack.

@feelsdesperate @JacobAShell Much of it is just what they were taught growing up manifest in a professional setting. Progressive education, boomer-values parentage, idolatry of activists. And then these careers draw the most devout of the bunch.

@JacobAShell I think Turchin explains dynamics in your industry. And journalism as another example. But what about schoolteachers and librarians? Why did they radicalize?

A reasonable take I heard (from a millennial) is that wokeness happened because millennials looked around and saw that they had no transcendent belief system to guide them and give their lives meaning and so they just turned up the volume on Boomer anti racism because that was on hand. I think that’s right. It doesn’t explain everything but it’s definitely it’s definitely psychology true in an important way.

@AdamZivo @AndrewScheidl There was a street interview video of a refugee guy in a Ukrainian city. He’s got a Ukrainian girlfriend and ends the interview by saying ‘end the war in Cameroon.’ Her countrymen are away fighting and she’s fucking a guy fleeing war in his own country… this system won’t last.

When millions of refugees fled Ukraine in early 2022, priority was given to women and children. Many foreign men did not understand this, and complained about “racism” at the border. No one asked them to fight in the war — they were just expected to have the basic decency to let women and children escape first. Third worldists then proceeded to misrepresent the situation for years afterward.

I didn't want to interrupt everybody's fun laughing at the NDP convention. But enough time has passed to point out: Carney and the Liberal Party actually implement that same wacky ideology through public policy every day. Instead of "equity cards," they have "equity employment."

BAP is correct in below, both as to original reason liberal immigration policy made sense pre 1880s, and as to practicality Americans used to have. If something didn’t work, we discarded it and did something else — and often used judiciary to do so! Now we are hidebound in maintaining structures that no longer serve our interests. This is not only stupid but unAmerican

Well, shucks. See that there 20-acre data center/incubation farm owned by the communist Chinese government? The one right next to the U.S. Air Force base and nuclear research laboratory? I reckon that the tens thousands of test tube babies forcibly harvested from CCP slaves and waiting to be implanted into enslaved CCP brood mares who were illegally smuggled across the border are just as American as you or me. Or they will be, at least. You were born here, and they’ll be born here, and that makes all of us Americans. John Roberts said so.

@jonkay @NDP That foolish guy hasn’t yet realized that including “they” in his bio doesn’t override his problematic ethnicity when it comes to critiquing his party. Should have spent more time learning the hierarchy of those colour-coded sanctioned-interruption cards

Possibly the craziest @NDP convention clip yet. First they do a tribute to Singh, who led the party to the current disaster. A guy asks how much this propaganda cost. So someone yells that he’s racist & yatta yatta “genocide” (Then they elect Avi Lewis, whitest guy in the room)

@feelsdesperate @WashProbs Not to mention that the typo is in the line directly above the proper spelling of ‘business’…

@WashProbs They spelled ‘businessman’ wrong on the plaque.

@TMTLongShort Which one of his books?

Loved his book. He is so wrong it hurts. Even brilliant former chess prodigies can succumb to the academic brainrot bubble.

@DavidBe31099196 Boomers get a lot of flack and most of it’s probably deserved but we cannot lose sight of just how much worse and more retarded millennial politics are going to be. Hopefully we can stave it off before it spirals out of control!

Idiocracy. Stupid but also degenerate.

@redmadblue @alexbronzini And furthermore that the general standards for behaviour and decorum are getting worse with each successive generation of students and really people in general.

@redmadblue @alexbronzini My argument is that a Harvard student ought to have respect and reverence for the truth and for integrity. And that advocating for taboos which encourage scummy and dishonest behaviour are reputational liabilities.

Journalists and columnists are inevitably gonna use AI to write. That’s impossible to police. But we should, at least, make it deeply taboo to admit it publicly
