Not everyone can have kids, due to physical issues, or bad circumstances, or whatever. Not everyone *should* have kids. Not everyone *wants* kids. Not having kids is not something to be shamed for. But not *wanting* kids is at least a little weird; like it or not, that’s the meaning of existence. Screw supernatural or divine reasons… you are on this Earth because a billion years of evolution has ingrained within every single being’s DNA the urge to reproduce their kind. That’s just the way it is. You are the end product of the better part of a trillion generations of sexual reproduction, and to think that it ends with *you* is a little disconcerting.
Some people realize that *they* should not reproduce because their DNA is messed up. They have a genetic disease that could/would get passed on, leading not only to misery for the kid, but degradation of the gene pool. Or they know that they are psychologically messed up – either through bad genetics or bad life experiences – and they know that they would mess up the kid. The people who make these realizations and intentionally refrain from having kids should be simultaneously pitied *and* celebrated. They are doing the species proud.
But then you’ve got people like Z-list celebrity Chelsea Handler, who doesn’t want kids because they’d get in the way of her hedonism. Sure, in her case it’s best that she’s had not children – and at age 47 her chances of reproducing are now incredibly low, probably zero – because she’d mess them up. But it’s not selflessness that motivates her, but selfishness.
Here’s the video she posted that’s making the rounds. Judge for yourself: does she come across as someone truly happy with her choices, or someone who now has to live with her choices and is rationalizing real hard?

She’s basically whacking you over the head while she repeats at loud volume a mantra about how happy she is.
She’s getting pushback. Which is… I dunno. It’s worth pointing out how weird her attitude is, but it’s not worth getting in a twist over. My little blog post here will be abut the sum total of my giveadamn about the issue. But she has responded to it, and it just seems like more copium. What *does* disturb me is the “oh, so stunning and brave!” applause she gets from her audience about this (insert conspiracy theory about They Don’t Want You To Reproduce Yourself):
Chelsea Handler wants you to know that she's really happy being a childless 47 year old. Like seriously happy. She's so happy, you guys. Okay? Nobody say she's sad. She's not. Definitely not. pic.twitter.com/r7GHi132FR

This sort of thing comes across to me like someone who is objectively *not* physically attractive sitting in front of a mirror, smiling real hard, and telling themselves over and over and over just how beautiful they are. That’s just weird.

You can listen to the audio of the Lake Huron shootdown in the video below, via The Drive:
It’s small (the size of a “four wheeler,” probably meaning an ATV), it’s dark metallic and gives a good sun glint, has strings dangling from it, looks like a “container.”
Hmmm.
The government might not be protecting us for Chinese spying, and certainly isn’t protecting us from what might be an industrial/environmental disaster on the scale of Chernobyl, but hey, they’re lashing out at party balloons like there’s no tomorrow.
Pay no attention to the massive chemical release behind the curtain:
THREAD: Photos, videos, and news reports about the train derailment and toxic chemical release in East Palestine, Ohio.
This may be the largest environmental disaster in U.S. history.

I really hope that this is some sort of skit, but I fear it ain’t.
And I had to pay for that Volvo, working part time at K-Mart. Getting a whole damn *car* as a birthday present? Sheesh. The privilege.

Just… no.
The first video shows some “15-minute city” fanboy extolling the virtues of the forthcoming open-air prisons, in part by crowing about how everything you could want would be within a 1.5 kilometer walk from where you live. What if I want a long-distance shooting range? What if I want to go duck hunting? What if I simply want to get ten miles away from cities? What if I want to see the actual Milky Way at night? What if I want *quiet*?
The second video shows the inevitable result of this sort of central planning: China has walled off bits of towns and requires people to show their electronic passports in order to get through the gates. Passports that can be shut down at the discretion of the bureaucracy.
This is what China's 15 Minutes cities looks like

US Shuts Airspace Over Lake Michigan, Cites “National Defense”

Clearly if the Commies are swarming our skies with balloons, they need to be shot down. But while balloons are cheap, AIM-9X missiles are expensive as are F-15 and especially F-22 sorties. Reserving air supremacy fighters for swatting balloons over Canada or Montana means they can’t be deployed elsewhere for roles more requiring their capabilities. The ability to take out balloons *cheaply* is needed. A suggestion: instead of expendable missiles launched from advanced fighters, how about reusable missiles launched from cargo jets, or modified corporate jets? Missiles such as AQM-37C. This missile was a target, and some variants were fitted with a parachute recovery system. The AQM-37C was capable of Mach 4 flight up to 100,000 feet. The AQM-37 series is now long out of production and no longer in service, but the design has worked for fifty years and could be certainly updated. It could be rebuilt for precision command guidance or some onboard guidance; it could be meant to simply dart through the balloons envelope, or blast over it real close while spewing out small submunitions. Build them in vast numbers for economies of scale; build variants for other roles such as surface attack, recon, whatever, to spread the cost and utility around. If you’re *real* good, build them for in-flight snatching; if you are *extremely* good, build them to be snatched by the launch aircraft.

Ummm…

C’mon, Russia. You used to be cool. For a time. A brief window. Back when the worst thing about y’all were your wacky likkered-up drivers on the ice.

One might think that “entertainment industry weirdo performs satanic dance number, sponsored by Pfizer” would be the sort of thing I’d yammer on about. But… this schtick is old. What, am I supposed to act surprised that a weirdo is a weirdo?
I’m of two minds about people who mess about with Satanic imagery. On the one hand, since I don’t believe in Satan… meh. You just look like a goober. On the other hand, some of these people *do* believe in Satan. And if *you* believe in Satan and you’re playing at Satanic stuff… it makes me wonder about your sanity, in the same way I’d look askance at a Cthulhu cultist. But in this case, I suspect that the Freedom Toons people are correct: it’s a desperate bid for attention, an attempt to fill an inner emptiness that will never, can never, be filled with cheap and hollow pursuits.
And I suspect the Pfizer people didn’t see this coming. Like they didn’t see Project Veritas coming.

Fetterman hears voices like the teachers in ‘Peanuts’ after stroke, struggles to adjust to Senate life: report
I’m shocked.
Also, he went into the hospital Wednesday sue to light-headedness. There was some early speculation that it was another stroke, but apparently it wasn’t. It’s being downplayed… but as I understand it he’s *still* hospitalized. For light-headedness. Everything is fine. Nothing to worry about.
I can’t imagine why America’s opponents are seeing us as weak and ineffectual these days. Regarding which:
US military shoots down ‘object’ flying in territorial waters over Alaska
Another balloon. It’s reportedly smaller than the Chinese spy balloon (with a “car-sized” payload), was flying at about 40,000 feet, and it took an F-22 and an AIM-9X to bring it down. Wreckage crashed onto ice and has been recovered.

Huh.

I suspect that if the political affiliations were different this would be bigger news.
