This story was *made* for sitting back with a bucket of popcorn and watching the intersectional fur fly.
It’s four years old and in Spanish… and it’s friggen’ awesome.
Huh.

Ever wonder how the military got wokified? How the government turned the US into a weak joke?
Here’s a hint:

When the crazy people have had indoctrinational access to *toddlers* for years, it’s no wonder that society is circling the drain.
Black Holes: Race and the Cosmos is a new hybrid course taught by Profs. Parisa Vaziri (Comparative Literature), and Nicholas Battaglia (Astronomy). No prerequisites are required, and the course is open to all undergraduates. Please see the description below and attached poster. For more information, you can contact Prof. Vaziri at pv248@cornell.edu. The course can be taken for Physical Sciences credit for students who matriculated in 2020.
Black Holes: Race and the Cosmos
MW 11:25-12:40
Conventional wisdom would have it that the “black” in black holes has nothing to do with race. Surely there can be no connection between the cosmos and the idea of racial blackness. Can there? Contemporary Black Studies theorists, artists, fiction writers implicitly and explicitly posit just such a connection. Theorists use astronomy concepts like “black holes” and “event horizons” to interpret the history of race in creative ways, while artists and musicians conjure blackness through cosmological themes and images. Co-taught by professors in Comparative Literature and Astronomy, this course will introduce students to the fundamentals of astronomy concepts through readings in Black Studies. We will experiment with what it means to engage with astrophysics concepts both inside and outside of the disciplinary framework of astronomy—for example, in genres like film, afrofuturist science fiction, and critical theory. Do astronomy concepts lose coherence outside of their scientific contexts, or do they acquire a different kind of sense? Why are humanities scholars everlastingly drawn toward the stars? In particular, what do artists and theoreticians of color gain from turning identity politics toward cosmological reflection? Texts will include works by theorists like Michelle Wright and Denise Ferreira da Silva, authors like Octavia Butler and Dionne Brand, and others. Astronomy concepts will include the electromagnetic spectrum, stellar evolution, and general relativity.
Neat. So, parents sending your kids to Cornell: is your money well spent? Students racking up vast student debts: will these courses actually help you become good astronomers and astrophysicists? Is this a good use of your limited time and resources?
Working class people who just barely make ends meet and who cannot *imagine* ever going to Cornell for an astrophysics degree: so how excited are *you* about having your taxes raised in order to pay off the student debts of people who decide to take these ᛒᚪᛚᛚᛋᚻᛁᛏ courses and then find that their degrees are worthless, and who then demand that *you* pay for their years of screwing around and for their bad financial and life planning?
MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Thor seems displeased with people celebrating a man who, during the commission of an armed robbery, held a pregnant woman against her will by pointing a firearm at her unborn child.
An interesting description of the various cults and cultists that pop up on the stories of H.P. Lovecraft. The idea that people would worship hideous monstrosities that want to wipe out mankind is of course nuts… and of course entirely believable. The YouTuber here points out the similarity between the fictional Cthulhu cultists and adherents to a modern day *real* cult of some notoriety.
In my “War With The Deep Ones,” cultists make a few minor appearances in the first book I wrote. But they would have put in much more of an appearance in later books… as the world goes down, the nuts come out. As we have recently seen.
A New York City-based psychiatrist told an audience at the Yale School of Medicine in April that she had fantasies of “unloading a revolver into the head of any white person that got in my way.”
Dr. Aruna Khilanani spewed the race-hating virtual remarks … at the Ivy League institution’s Child Study Center on April 6.
…
“I had fantasies of unloading a revolver into the head of any white person that got in my way, burying their body and wiping my bloody hands as I walked away relatively guiltless with a bounce in my step. Like I did the world a f–king favor.”
There’s a lot of Really Interesting Opinions at that and other articles on the subject.
Her profile on the Independent Doctors of NY website seems, oddly, to have vanished. Fortunately, the internet never forgets, and archive.org has it archived from March and before:
Aruna Khilanani, MD, MA
Specialities: Psychiatry
Focus of Practice: Forensic Psychiatry, Grief, Self Esteem, Racial Identity
I am a female academic psychiatrist who has taught at Cornell NYPH, and run a process group for resident physicians at Harlem Hospital. I have a private practice in Morningside Heights of Manhattan, devoted to the treatment of mental illness, psychopharmacology, and psychotherapy. I am also a psychoanalyst. Here, I treat high functioning individuals who have jobs and significant relationships, but may struggle in certain areas that impact their personal or professional lives.
Also gives her address and phone number. Which I suspect will be changed soon, if not already. Now here’s the part that will shock, SHOCK, I SAY, you to your very core:
I completed a Masters of Humanities at the University of Chicago in critical theory, around issues of gender, race, sexuality, African American Studies, embodiment and class.
If you are one of those poor innocents who wonders why some people seem to be up in arms about “critical race theory” and are wondering why it should be excluded from government funding, programs and education… here’s why. CRT makes you racist, sometimes violently so.

Somebody might want to look into those. A humanist fantasizing about genocide? Seems an odd mix.
An aside: is “psychiatrist goes insane and turns into a villain” a wider trope than just Harleen Quinzel? Of course given “Doctor” Khilananis course of study it seems she was cuckoo for CRT puffs before she started, so this seems to be more a matter of a loon taking up psychiatry.
From the color-value reversed Stormfront:
Right off the bat, consider that they seem surprised that “woke” anybody turned out to be shallow performative causeheads. The rest of us have known that for *decades.* But their real problem is this:
Recent polling numbers show that the support for Black Lives Matter has severely declined. … However, white people’s support has declined to levels lower than they were a year ago.
The author seems to believe that the cause of a decline in trust in the BLM movement is that white people are inherently evil. Allow me to retort:
This. is. Awesome.
And…
Yeah, yeah, their politics skews definitely leftist. Eh. It’s still hilarious.
