Checking out the “science” section on Google News brings up this headline:

*Science,* people. This is what “decolonized” science, stripped of “white supremacy” and “patriarchy” looks like: friggen’ horoscopes.

If you’re interested in astrology, you’re likely more than familiar with your Sun sign, which directly relates to your personality. Maybe your ‘scope-obsessed self is also well-versed in your Moon sign, which aligns with your emotions and moods.

Your Venus sign is something different altogether, although for most people, it can be the same sign as their Sun sign, or one of its neighboring signs, says Alice Alta, resident astrologer for the Futurio app. And as with any planetary sign, this one is determined by where Venus was in the sky at the time of your birth. To find your Venus sign, all you need is your birth date, time, and location to create your natal chart via an astrology app or website like CafeAstrology.com, explains Alta.

What is my Venus sign, and how does it impact me?

“Venus is the planet of love, beauty, harmony, money, material values,” she notes. So, Venus in the natal chart is responsible for the development of your sense of style and taste, determining your preferences in everything from clothes to romantic partners.

At its core, Venus is huge in helping to understand your personality and how you express yourself. It impacts how you show your desires, passions, and what’s important to you. It can also determine how you interact with others and the energy you give off in those interactions.

As a child of the 70s and 80’s, department stores and shopping malls means something different to me than they doubtless do to Millenials and Gen Z’ers. I am sufficiently non-stupid so as to not be shocked that things change… but still, there’s a sadness to watching things that used to be popular and successful turn into ghost towns. I guess it’s like seeing the last of 8-tracks or cathode ray tubes. Still: I’d trade the convenience of Amazon and the inexpensiveness of WalMart if it meant that the cultural madness of Twitter and TikTok and Facebook and Tumbler and the rest of them could also be swept away. Kids these days could do with actual socialization and the exercise that comes from mall-walking. Maybe there’d be less
“gender madness” if kids could actually see, in a social setting, their peers looking normal and reasonably healthy.

The list of functioning Sears stores here (2:02) is kinda astounding, given that there used to be 3,000 of the places. There are only 4 (*FOUR*) functioning K-Mart stores, soon to be three. 2022 will probably be the last year for both of these brands.

Bonus:

A collection of videos showing the current state of COVID-theater in China. So much of it is so over-the-top that it is clear that the purpose is not, as claimed, to control the spread of the ChiCom Flu, but to simply dominate the people… and to let the people know they’re being dominated. Power, pure and simple, naked and unlimited. This sort of thing is entirely possible in the west… if we allow it. Canada and Australia have been China-lite… how long until they – or the US – try to equal the Chinese government?

No joke about “disturbing video:”

Disturbing Video: China Is Taking Cats for Extermination Due to COVID — Dogs Too

Think twice before clicking. Scenes of members of Team Humanity being tortured and killed on an industrial scale by humans. As much as many of use *hate* the little monsters responsible for the assault on Buddy The Cat… here’s an entire government that deserves that ire.

Remember the old wisdom about “if someone will do that to an animal, they’ll do that to a human?” Yeah, well… these are ChiComs. They’ve *already* done this to tens of millions of humans, so this is hardly surprising. But it’s still… hmmm.

Once again: humans at our worst are a Cosmic Horror to animals, especially those who rely on us.

Ben’s staff selects some of the craziest nutbars tiktok has to offer to make their boss react to. Someday, historians will look back on this time in amazement that society ever allowed people with this level of mental illness to have this outsized of an influence on culture, norms and laws.

 

By the way: if you are still concerned about the so-called “Don’t Say gay” bill, Ruined Leon is here to set you right. Unlike the people screaming the loudest about it, he actually goes to the bother of actually reading the thing: Spoiler warning: the crazies are lying. Shocker, I know.

And if you are confused or concerned that perhaps you too are a groomer, the Babylon Bee has kindly provided a simple test:

Are You A Groomer? 9 Things To Look For

1. Do you talk about sex with 5-year-olds behind their parents’ back?

2. Do you begin sentences with, “Don’t tell your parents, but…”

3. Do you encourage kids to cut off their sex organs?

4. Are you a Disney Executive?

Take a look and see how you stack up, and whether you should be removed from the proximity of children.

We don’t need stricter gun laws. We don’t need open borders. We do need a whole lot of mental asylums.

Gallup polling from February indicates that Americans are quickly heading towards becoming a non-reproducing people:

LGBT Identification in U.S. Ticks Up to 7.1%

7.1% might not sound like a lot, but that’s of the entire population; it’s *far* higher the younger you get, and it’s trending upwards very quickly.

Gen Z’ers have gone from 10% LGBT to 20% in only four years. No reason to assume that that will stop; they might get to 30% by the time they’re mature. But the *next*generation will seemingly start off from there or higher. It’s not unreasonable to assume that Gen Z+1 will be 50% or more LGBT by the time they mature, while the relatively few members of Gen Z+2 might be 75% LGBT.

The trends are there. The obvious question is *why.* “Because humans are naturally that way” really doesn’t seem to comport with any examination of humanity throughout history. Additionally, if the rise in LGBT is due to the increasingly accepting culture, then why aren’t the Gen Xers and Baby Boomers jumping on board? Is there something in the environment? Something in the food, in the drugs, in the drinking water, seeping out of the plastic bottles? The question arises again: if it was found that some chemical produced in the last few decades has caused the rise in LGBT, what would happen if there was a serious effort to *ban* that chemical? Who would protest, and would they win?

There is another possibility. Yes, American culture is much more accepting of LGBT than it was a few decades ago. But we’ve gone beyond “acceptance” and leaped into “advocacy.” Take a look at Libs of TikTok: it is *filled* with public school teachers proudly announcing how they are grooming children as young as kindergarteners to decide that they are gay or trans. Kids are *dumb* and impressionable. If we had armies of teachers trying to convince six year olds that they were in fact unicorns, you bet your ass we’d have lots of kids convinced that they were unicorns. And as those kids grew older, if society persisted in supporting them in their belief that they were unicorns, and that it was cool and preferable to be unicorns, and that anyone who didn’t support their unicornness was evil and stupid, it’s safe to assume that unicornness would increase.

As the native American population fades away, it will simply be replaced by people whose cultures don’t engage in this sort of thing. A hundred years from now, American might be evenly split between the Hispanic Catholics and the Muslims, with anyone else being a statistical rounding error (maybe some Mormons in the Free State of Deseret; I would have assumed some Amish, but they’ll doubtless be wiped out by then). This assumes the US lasts that long.

There is another possible approach: mockery using the Critical Race Theorists words and logic against the groomers. Honestly it’s unlikely to work… but at least we can have a good laugh as we watch western society recede in the rear view mirror.

‘The issue is SYSTEMIC grooming’: Critical Grooming Theory thread mocking principles of CRT is the best damn thing you’ll read today

Normally mass shootings are the sort of news stories that have not only media but politicians and celebrities falling all over themselves and each other to bleat and strut. But the recent event in Sacramento that killed six? Yes, it’s pretty much gone. I wonder why that might possibly be.

Sacramento mass shooting suspect released from prison early weeks before tragedy, has violent past

He was sentenced to 10 years in 2018 for for domestic violence and assault with great bodily injury

Let’s do the math on that. Sentenced to ten years in 2018. January 2018 plus ten years is… hmmm… carry the two… ah, yes, released in February 2022.

He was a felon who was not legally allowed to have a firearm, never mind the illegally modified fully automatic firearm he actually had. The story is less a “boo hoo, we need more gun control” story and more a “maybe if we locked these monsters away for anything like how long they’re supposed to be locked away for, they won’t be out here doing this.” But we’re in the era of “defund the police” and “abolish the prisons,” so… kinda unfortunate narrative this story came with. Plus, kinda difficult to pin this one on Orange Man Bad or white supremacy. But I’m sure we’ll see some wild flailings for just that soon enough… if the story is remembered at all in another day or two.

This fine upstanding gentleman has a long record of violent criminality. A sane society would have permanently separated him from the rest of humanity long ago, but oh no, some geniuses decided it would be best to release him back out onto the streets to terrorize the citizenry. I’m getting to be more and more of the opinion that those responsible for signing for early release should be held responsible for the behavior of those they let go.
