@JamesMcDaniel @AlexBerenson @mattyglesias That inner Good German lives in everyone. Some people really thrive on the permission to let him out.

@wesyang Isn't it remarkable that thousands and millions marched and ravaged cities for George Floyd and yet most parents continue to send their children to these schools where they are every minute being destroyed?

There is no limit to the amount of taxpayer dollars that California’s attorney general will waste virtue signaling a completely futile effort to receive legal sanction to defy the will of his state voters to continue assaulting the constitutional rights of the state’s parents

@wesyang Wondering if Kristi undertook so much plastic surgery herself and destroyed her normal attractiveness to try and please her seriously disturbed husband.

Now that this male fetishist who gets sexually aroused mimicking women is revealed to have a “desire to gender transition”, everyone who shit on him last week must all piously affirm and praise the courage of this Stunning and Brave Woman

@eugyppius1 Yes.

Trump is unique in his willingness to accept enormous risks for the possibility of payoff; he compensates by an equal willingness to back down. This strategy has led to catastrophe and strategic defeat in Iran, where backing down is proving to be mostly impossible.

@RonColeman If only. He'll delay until a Democrat gets back in power at the top.

See ya

@Cernovich She's always been a private person and Donald's political journey has cost her great pain. Sometimes one can't endure even a little drop more of any of it.

A question for women only. (I mean it, will block any man who "chimes in.") Why do you think Melania made that statement on Epstein an hour ago?

@eugyppius1 Anyone here ever see that TV commercial showing a teacher snipping poor Pluto from a mobile of the solar system? Strangely poignant, it was.

in which europe is also assigned responsibility for the demotion of pluto to dwarf planet.

@TheAttagirls What happened to her daughter? Had she thrived after being abandoned by her mother after having been abandoned by her father?

Woman of the Day pioneering parachutist Georgia “Tiny" Broadwick, born OTD in 1893 in North Carolina, the first woman to jump from an airplane, the first woman to jump from a seaplane, and the inventor of the ripcord. The youngest of seven daughters and with a birth weight of just 3lbs, Tiny’s nickname was bestowed at an early age. In adulthood, she reached 4’8” and weighed just 85lbs. Her childhood was hard: working in the tobacco fields, married at 12, giving birth to a daughter at 13, abandoned by her husband, working long hours in a cotton mill by 15. That’s when she persuaded a neighbour to take her to Raleigh to see a travelling air show by The Broadwicks and Their Famous French Aeronauts who parachuted from a hot air balloon. “I was hellbound and determined to get in that act…When I saw that balloon go up and I gawked at it as it ascended into the heavens, I knew I'd never be the same…I pestered the balloonist to give me a ride. Best fun I had up to then was a-shinning up tall trees." The balloonist had also pioneered a parachute ready to be tried out. Tiny persuaded Charles Broadwick let her try, pointing out that a tiny, light person like herself was "just the type to drop from the balloon in the chute." She made her first parachute jump that day and landed in a blackberry bush. Did it stop her? It did not. Tiny, still only 15, left her daughter in the care of her parents and was adopted by the Broadwicks to make travel arrangements easier. Dressed in a silk dress with pink bows and promoted as The Doll Girl, “I toured the country with the carnival, making as many as three cutaways in one jump.” She had many close calls including landing on roofs, electrical wires, a moving train and on one occasion, getting caught in a windmill. She broke several bones in rough landings. In 1912, Tiny attended an air show at Domingus Field in California, met Orville Wright, and took her first airplane flight with aviation pioneer Glenn Martin, inventor off the trap seat and parachute. She knew a challenge, and an opportunity, when she saw one. On 21 June 1913 in Los Angeles, Tiny became the first woman to parachute from an airplane. When the biplane reached an altitude of 1,000 feet, she released the lever on her trap seat and dropped to earth. She opened her "life preserver" - as parachutes were called - and landed safely in a field of grain. A newspaper headline reported, "Girl Jumps From An Aeroplane And Lives." Martin felt parachutes would be useful to the military, so in 1914, Tiny demonstrated it to the rather reluctant US Army’s fledgling aeronautics corps. She made three successful jumps, but on her fourth one, the static line became entangled in the tail of the aircraft. She cut the line and pulled it while in free fall, thus manually opening her parachute and demonstrating that aircraft crew could safely leave a plane. That’s how the ripcord was born. The same year, she jumped from a hydroplane into Lake Michigan and became the first woman to parachute into a body of water. Tiny continued to travel and to parachute, including jumps in 1915 and 1916 at the San Diego World Fairs. She retired in 1916, but returned to the sky in 1920, retiring for good in 1922 because of ankle problems. By then she had an estimated 1,100 jumps to her credit. Despite not being a pilot, Tiny was one of the few women members of the Early Birds of Aviation, and during WW2, she visited military bases and talked to pilots and parachutists. “I'd take one of my old chutes along and compare it with the ones they were using. The boys would always tell me they'd never jump in anything like that. But I'd tell them it must have been OK: I'm still here." In 1964, Tiny’s parachute, handmade by Charles Broadwick from 100 yards of silk, was donated to the Smithsonian Air Museum. She died in 1978, aged 85.

@akabeth10 @wesyang It's called engendering one's own doom.

@redfoliot @wesyang So we deserve what's happening today? Gfy

"The result is I'm a 23-year old gay man who's never had an orgasm and may never experience one. Let that sink in." Jonni Skinner tells the California legislature's judiciary committee how he was puberty blocked, dosed with estrogen and rendered anorgasmic as a minor by gender clinicians that never inquired into the source of his gender confusion as a child and instead put him on a pipeline to a lifetime of medicalization. Full text of his comments below: "When I was young, I was a feminine child, and I discovered trans influencers online. They said: 'Change your body and your life gets better. Don't and it gets worse.' Or, as my doctors told my mom, I would commit suicide. The medical and mental health providers didn't bother to ask why I felt the way I did. They poisoned my body with blockers and hormones, arresting my puberty and messing with my development. The result is I'm a 23 year old gay man who's never had an orgasm and may never experience one. Let that sink in. I was rendered anorgasmic because once you say you could be trans, that's a full stop -- no exploration as to why is allowed, even if you are struggling. The former president of WPATH, Dr Marcy Bowers, the California surgeon who had performed the surgery for Jazz Jennings at 17, admitted on video that puberty blockers, followed by cross sex hormones, results in no orgasms and stunted genitals. SB, 934 guarantees that more people will end up like me, the walking but wounded. I could have been spared all of this, if any of my therapists would have explored why I felt dysphoric. But they never did. They only led me to hate my body more. The Supreme Court just ruled in a rare bipartisan decision that laws like this are unconstitutional viewpoint discrimination. This bill is an attempted workaround that will be used to silence therapists who could have helped me avoid the irreversible harms to my body and the loss of my sexual function as is the same for many others. So today, I ask you to extend some empathy to survivors like me and vote no for this bill."

@eugyppius1 Situation complicated by Israel domestically much crazier than it ever was. Haredis already lunatics but since '80s huge increase of Ukrainian & Russian Jewish both oligarch & lower class extr. dangerous ppl pushing Likud ever worser.

People are saying the US should try to rein in Israel before Israeli bombardment of Lebanon ruins the ceasefire, but the main thing Trump wanted from the ceasefire he hasn't gotten, so why should they care one way or the other, just pragmatically speaking?

Trump said the Iran ceasefire was conditional upon "the Islamic Republic of Iran agreeing to the COMPLETE, IMMEDIATE and SAFE OPENING of the Strait of Hormuz." On day 2 the Strait remains neither completely, nor immediately, nor safely opened, and nobody really thinks it will be

@7Stirling @LordMasterIvan Well, I fled where I was born and bred to live out my elderly years in this place and I'm glad of it nevertheless. Quite grateful God invented polyester fleece.

@redfoliot @LordMasterIvan The reason why I built a house on the south coast of England and take lots of holidays.

European summer

@eugyppius1 Well yes. Of course we do!

Someone sent me some YouTube interview yesterday with Niall Ferguson where Ferguson mentioned Schrödinger's ceasefire. People read eugyppius!

@7Stirling @LordMasterIvan Ha yes. Don't feel bad. I live in a place in the US where I often feel we have Scottish weather.

@LordMasterIvan Scottish summer........

@Theo_Chilton Ha yes exactly. The Glorious Persian Past Monarchist Fan Fiction Club are working their little fingers to the bone trying to obscure this inconvenient truth.

Here's the thing people need to understand about the Iranians. While the Persian people may be *historically* Indo-European, they are *spiritually* semitic. The past 1400 years of Islam have basically semiticised them to the point of no return. Essentially, Iranians today are basically spiritually/morally/psychologically indistinguishable from Arabs or Mizrahi Jews. Which makes it all the more ironic that the people supporting Iran think they are doing so because they're "opposing Israel and the Jews." Bro, you're literally just choosing a different team of "essential semites." This explains why the Iranians broke the ceasefire so quickly by bombing Kuwait this morning. See, Westerners - including both the Trump admin and most of the non-Nigerian, non-Pakistani - believe that ceasefires exist as a way for two belligerents to find middle ground, come to terms, etc. etc. Not so for middle easterners, who generally view cease fires only as breathing space to try to regather or reposition forces, etc. to continue a war from a more advantageous position. That's what the Irans believe themselves to have done here, it's why Israel and their Arab neighbours constantly make and break cease fires, and it's what semites have done historically for thousands of years. Iran breaking a ceasefire today is no different from the Kingdom of Hamath breaking a ceasefire with the Kingdom of Arvad three thousand years ago

@akabeth10 @wesyang Worst job I ever had was 40 yrs ago with an int'l women's org staffed almost entirely by lesbians and scathingly contemptuous of straight gals like me. Karma is ruthless.

I will never forgive this movement or the people who pushed it for trying to destroy the next generation of homosexuals, for all of the Jonni's. The new woke homophobia of the left needs to be widely reported and discussed a lot more. They never supported us out of real conviction or values, it was purely transactional. And now they have a new, shinier ticket into the Good Person club and don't care how it hurts gays and lesbians.

@Cernovich It's been a fiction for many years that Mormon-majority states are conservative and protective of traditional American values.

Mike Kennedy of Utah is leading the charge with amnesty pusher Maria Salazar, to destroy jobs for Americans. Richard McCormick of Georgia is also part of this plot.

@eugyppius1 You must always try to keep in mind (slimy sycophant alert!) that you are a natural gentleman and most other ppl are not. You will always be speaking in a different register.

Some of the people who have spent weeks lecturing me about how the Iran war was super necessary are now also assblasted when you point out that that the ceasefire is not going well. I guess if/when Trump resumes attacks they will reverse their opinions again.

@eugyppius1 "Vibrant" is the letter-conserving form of "obnoxious."

beware any ethnicity, subculture, race, neighbourhood etc that is described by mainstream discourse guardians as “vibrant”

“invaluable contributions” lol

@eugyppius1 Didn't we all need something hilarious this morning?
