Get ready for insanity.

This new peer-reviewed paper in the a @SpringerNature
 journal, uses "feminist blue posthumanities to reimagine...how brine shrimp are perceived in science, culture, and art."

The paper "introduced the concept of hydrosexuality" to  enrich "feminist blue posthumanities and feminist biology through art-based practices and queer advocacy." Its use of the "hydrosexual perspective challenges settler science by exploring the connections between the reproductive system of brine shrimp and the economy, ecology and culture."

Its analysis "draws inspiration from low trophic theory and Queer Death Studies" to "gradually alter white humans' perceptions and understandings of brine shrimp."

I gotta say, this might dethrone the classic Feminist Glaciology paper for Most Insane Paper Ever. I am convinced that @ConceptualJames
, @peterboghossian, and @HelenPluckrose are behind this!

Were I a young man entering college today... I might very well say screw that and go into one of the trades like plumbing.

But then you'd have to find a university offering a master's and a Ph.D. in plumbing.

What's frightening is that there are more than a few law enforcement people and legislators in Britain who want to extradite US citizens to Britain to try and punish them for things they say online about British affairs.

I'm guessing that we were one "Yes, President Harris" away from that actually taking place.

The class on How Indoor Plumbing Is White Supremacy is a requirement. Just don't ask them which end is male or female or they'll force you to take Transgenderism in Plumbing as well.

Also, I forgot where I read it yesterday, but some UK higher court (or maybe some part of Parliament?) was looking to force US tech companies to follow some weirdo UK woke rules or face criminal prosecution. From what I gathered, just for UK citizens using their services, not even for companies with a physical presence in the UK.

Somebody needs to remind them that they're a tiny island that could get squished like a bug. Or maybe throw some tariffs their way. Or maybe withhold some mil.tech.

Saw that doing the game last night and had the same thoughts. But if they actually ordered it and got it out in the period after the election I would be surprised but they could have also ordered more than one version back in summer with the if Harris won having his boy getting his first dress for Christmas

I don't know who these people are on MK's show, but they had a similar theory about the Draguar ad.

Straight up Maoism.

The West was duped into thinking we could have a neutral, secular government that wouldn't discriminate over personal morality. Some of us are seeing through that now.

I filmed a liberal activist trying to retrieve her iPhone back from the homeless that possibly stole it. She encouraged them to sell anything they steal from “rich scum” but that she’s “nice” and “honest” and needs it back. She told @tarafaul503
 and I she won’t call the police

Should I laugh?
Why not  :rofl:

That's one of the most insanely disturbing rulings by any judge in a Western nation that I've ever seen.

I don't know if it's time to haul out the tar and feathers, or if the situation calls for torches and pitchforks.  =(

I wonder if the Brits will ever get fed up enough and grow the stones to take back their government?  Or are they too far gone at this point?
