This is the sort of problem that could be fairly easily fixed. Reinstate loony bins, lock up criminals, deport illegals, enforce the border, and  cities will become far safer, cleaner, healthier places to live and work. They fact that those in power are *not* fixing this indicates that this is what they want.

Who benefits from tearing down civilization and spreading chaos and misery?

Political tests in science

A political test in any science other than “political science” is an abomination. So, of course, here comes the United States Federal Government instituting political tests: you have to pledge allegiance to a scientifically irrelevant political ideology *and* do a performative written struggle session explaining just how much you love Dear Leaders wise policies and how you, yes, YOU, plan on instituting them rather than doing, you know, science.

From the Department of Energy, which has apparently solved all our energy problems (did they finally crack fusion? Do the neighborhood-scale fusion powerplants start shipping next week?), comes this nightmare:

Everyone Has a Role to Play in Making Science More Equitable and Inclusive

That is why, beginning in FY 2023, the Office of Science is adding a new requirement to our solicitation processes: applicants must now submit a plan for Promoting Inclusive and Equitable Research, or PIER Plan, along with their research proposals. PIER Plans should describe the activities and strategies that investigators and research personnel will incorporate to promote diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility in their research projects. The complexity and detail of a PIER Plan is expected to increase with the size of the research team and the number of personnel to be supported. This will be a requirement for proposals submitted to all Office of Science solicitations, as well as invited proposals from the DOE national laboratories. The PIER Plans will be evaluated under a new merit review criterion as part of the peer review process.  

 

I have high hopes of lawsuits galore.  And I would have hopes that, if the FBI was actually up to the task of doing its job, they’d be investigating the people pushing this crap. I would not be at all surprised to find some foreign involvement here. Why do the hard work of competing against aggressive and enthusiastic science when you can convince the gullible chuckleheads on the other side to eat themselves and corrupt their own science with pseudo-religious garbage?

Study links in utero ‘forever chemical’ exposure to low sperm count and mobility

The Danish study shows a link between PFAS chemicals, often used in plastic products including food packaging, and now found in *rain,* and drastically reduced sperm counts. This is a possible explanation for why the developed world’s sperm counts have crashed while the undeveloped world’s sperm counts remain fairly high.

It is unlikely that reduced sperm counts are the sole result of these chemicals, which mess with hormones. It would not surprise me that they also trash testosterone levels, another problem in considerable evidence these days. This would not be the first time that science has shown widespread problems due to chemicals in consumer products: tetra-ethyl lead in gasoline and lead in paint led to whole generations of kids being stupider and more violent than they should have been. And then there’s tobacco.

So what will be done about this? If the link can be firmly established, PFAS chemicals *should* be removed from the market. But I wonder about pushback: not so much from the chemical and plastics industries… but from the Alphabet People. If it is scientifically shown that the existence of everything from bog-standard homosexuals to low-testosterone “soyboys” to dangerhaired weirdos to a large fraction of those  feeling the need to transition are all influenced to an important degree by the existence of PFAS… then deleting the chemicals might be seen as anti-Alphabet People. If nothing else, the following generations should presumably have fewer Alphabet People. I suspect this won’t go over all that well.

The alternative seems to be a population crash in the developed world, followed by a complete takeover by the undeveloped world. I suspect that this, too, might be something that some people want to have happen.

“IF” being the operative word. Assume this is as accurate as a random anonymous comment usually is.

…or Maybe the Trans Shop Teacher Is the Hero We Need Right Now

This dude is gaming the system. An anon here yesterday was in this dude’s class. This teacher was almost fired for ‘toxic masculinity’ last year, as well as not embracing woke culture. He’d drop redpills to his class, such as how silly gender neutral bathrooms are. The school board hates him.

He’s now upping the ante to exploit the very clown world the school and society itself created. His long game is most likely to get fired, and then sue for discrimination. There is no other explanation.. No better way to troll clown world than to become an over-the-top caricature of a woman.

Don’t trust this to be true. But if it is… suddenly this ridiculous story is elevated to hilarious troll. On the one hand, this is a long way to go to make a point. on the other hand, it’s a longer way to actually *be.*

Since this sort of scene is a common result of certain policies that have been pushed for years now… this is what the people pushing those policies *want.* When I lived in California, I only visited San Francisco a few times… it seemed a weird mix of the classy and the trashy. But that was going on 20 years ago. Any actual “classy” looks to have been swept away, and the “trashy” has devolved directly into third word S-hole status.

Someone looks at things like this and nods in satisfaction.

Memphis had a spree shooting incident a few days ago. Why did the shooter, one Ezekiel Kelly, do this? Hard to say. But there’s a little detail that seems kinda important. A detail that had it been different, might have led to a very different outcome. From THIS LINK:

In February 2020, Kelly was charged with two counts of attempted first-degree murder, possession of a firearm and reckless endangerment with a deadly weapon, court records obtained by Heavy show. A grand jury indicted on him on those charges in June 2020. He was 17 years old at the time.

He pleaded guilty to aggravated assault in April 2021 and was sentenced to three years in prison. Kelly served only 11 months in prison and was released only about six months ago, authorities said in the news conference.

Huh.

For starters, he tried to murder someone and was sentenced to only three years… and then only served eleven months. If the justice system actually worked, he would still be in the early stages of his “life plus ninety days to help stink up the joint” sentence. Murderers – actual murderers, not people who kill in self defense, or purely accidentally, etc. – need to be separated from society *permanently.* And attempted murderers are simply murderers who are slightly less competent, and thus should receive the same sentence.

People need to start suing government officials responsible for letting murderers walk among us.
