It's A Bird! It's A Plane! It's An ONT!

Welcome to the Thursday ONT! How has everyone's week been?

Arguments.jpg


How was your week? I had a run in with the cops. I was walking around the town square here in Tyler, holding a sign that said “The President is an idiot!”. A couple of cops came up to me and told me I couldn't do that.

“What happened to free speech?” I asked.

“C'mon buddy, don't give us a hard time” they said.

“But I'm talking about President Putin” I protested.

They both laughed. “Who do you think you're kidding? We all know who the idiot is”

Thankfully they let me off with a warning.


Speaking Of Cops


I think there's a Santa Rosa County in both California and Florida. Pretty sure this is from the Florida one.


I Get My Kicks Above The Waistline, Sunshine

Ace stole my content and put it in the side bar. Oh well, here it is anyway.


Huge chess world upset of grandmaster sparks wild claims of cheating — with vibrating sex toy

So, near as I can figure, the lowest ranked player in a tournament beat the highest ranked player, and accusations started flying that he must have cheated. I've seen no proof of this, no evidence that he did cheat, but the internet took it and ran with it. The current version is that he cheated by (no, I'm not making this up)...wearing? Inserting? Having?...a set of radio controlled anal beads that someone presumably used to signal what moves to make. I'm not even sure how that would work. Morse code? One buzz for the pawn, 3 for the Bishop and a full on prostate orgasm for the queen? No idea. Hey, sometimes the better player doesn't win in chess. Until I see proof (eww), I'm going to assume that the victory was something he just pulled out of his ass.


Those Who Worship Evil's Might


Understanding the Era of Woke Comic Books

I usually leave the comic book stuff to Ace, he's more interested in it than I am, and he's very good at teasing out the subtleties of the issue, but there's an aspect of the whole thing that I think gets overlooked. Without overstating their importance too much, comic book heroes are an American mythology. Heroes, while still demonstrating human foibles and weaknesses, are an idealized version of ourselves, and as such are a cultural touchstone for shared American values. Superman, Batman and Spiderman fill the same cultural niche for traditional American society as Achilles, Bophades or Hector did for the ancient Greeks. And while all of the factors that Ace likes to highlight do indeed have a great deal of bearing on the wokeization of comics, let's not forget what's at the bottom of it all. The left desires to destroy western civilization so they can replace it with a communist utopia. Destroying our myths and legends is part of that effort.


On The Pa. Senate Race


Ann Coulter: Fetterman’s Murderous Campaign Aides: How It Really Happened

So, anyone in the know have any good dope on how this race is going? I think Trump was a fool to endorse Dr. Oz, surely there was someone who would promise sufficient fealty to Trump who is actually, you know, a bit conservative, but Pa. is not my circus, these are not my monkeys. Fetterman, however, is a brain dead idiot (but dem voters seem to like brain dead candidates), does Oz have a chance?

The article, BTW, is Ann Coulter demolishing the stupid excuses given as to why Fetterman has a convicted murderer on his staff. Say what you will about Ann, and there's plenty to say, she's at her best in situations like this, brutally hammering facts like a stake through the heart of a narrative.


Fascinating Illusion


Live Fast, Die Old

Maybe the sudden increase in the number of old guys dying of heart trouble in Taiwan isn't due to the vax after all.

Nursing home apologises for 'strippers and bingo' party after lingerie-clad woman lap-dances on wheelchair-bound pensioners to celebrate harvest festival in Taiwan

I don't really understand the outrage. They're adults, and as long as they freely chose to go to the stripper event, more power to them. Big meh from me.


Joey Wikes Choo-Choos!

The Freight-Rail-Strike Crisis Is Averted — for Now

Good overview, including highlighting some of the problems that union rules have caused.

For the past two decades, the unions have been making it very hard for new guys and gals to hire on and stay on. I endured two years in northeastern Montana before I found myself standing in a field during a blizzard waiting for a train and wondering exactly what the hell I was doing there. Railroading is a hard job. But it’s a good solid job and one this nation relies on. Back to my point: Yes, management probably needs to make more than a few concessions to labor. But someone in the labor camp needs to realize they can’t spend decades making it nearly impossible to bring in new blood, and then blame management for the fact there’s nobody around to give them time off. The laws of supply and demand are vicious mistresses, and they don’t like being broken.

In Weirddavetopia, unions will be outlawed. Instead, all corporations shall be required to have employee profit-sharing and stock ownership programs. Give everybody a stake in the success of the company and see if morale and productivity increases. I saw a Tweet a while back where someone was chiding Elon Musk for Tesla stock going up X% but Tesla workers weren't being given raises or something like that, I forget the exact details. Musk tweeted back something along the lines of “All Tesla employees hold stock in the company, their shares just increased in value X% too”. Shut the bozo right up, it did.
