Two errors of mine:

[1.] A few days ago I said Peterson interlocutor Newman worked for British government, meaning the BBC, but apparently she works for a more plainly capitalist enterprise, "Channel 4."

[2.] Yesterday I said that Peterson's #SoYoureSaying fanboys had grown tired of mocking her in the comments to her Twitter postings. They have not... Glory be, they have not.

American faces up to SEVEN years in a Dubai prison because he used the word 'b****' in an Instagram story - and his ex-wife reported him to police

"'Most people are unaware that they are likely already in breach of the Cybercrime laws when they arrive in the country,' Stirling said.

Stirling added: 'Under these poorly drafted and arbitrarily enforced laws, visitors can even be subject to prosecution for posts they have shared from outside of the UAE, years before visiting.

'Laws are open to manipulation and abuse by disgruntled partners, friends or colleagues. In the event of a falling out, a criminal complaint can be easily made to authorities.

'Even if the complaint is trivial, it can lead to arrest, lengthy detention, fines, years in prison and deportation."

This is me doing exercise, because of my physical incredible fitness. I usually don't like to show off for others, though.

Sure, the holidays are, technically, over... But you need to be reminded that this is the finest passage of a very powerful large-scale work.

And this is a better audio mix, if you can ignore the ludicrous voiceover and obnoxious video close-ups.

1980's pop synthesis had its problems, but it had a few glories as well.

Here's one.

Meanwhile, in Boston, plans are afoot to do away with middle schools. Grade schools would be mostly kindergarten through eighth grade, with grades nine through twelve at the high schools.

I could get behind that. Like the author of the linked post, I hated junior high. In fact, I have trouble recalling anything I hated more.

I used to live it a small town in rural Illinois (for a year) in the fourth grade. That's the way the school was set up there. the town had one school campus. Half of it was for high school and the other half was for not high school.

ShoeOnHead has a new podcast: Hepeating.

ShoeOnHead is nice to look at, and I like her views on a number of subjects, but I can't get past her obnoxious, braying voice. She sounds exactly like Nancy McKeon in her role as Jo Polniaczek on the old TV show, "The Facts of Life."

That aside, "hepeating" is the first cousin of "mansplaining," the latest in the feminists movements attempt to demonize men by insisting that there are certain obnoxious behaviors that men only do to women.

Mansplaining is supposedly men explaining something to a woman (which may be something she already knows and doesn't need explained to her) in a condescending, rude manner. Because the feminists just know, know, know that no woman in the history of the world has ever explained something to a man in a condescending and rude manner. Or done that to another woman. And of course, men never do that to other men. They only do it to women.

I mean, it's like women lying about a supposed rape in order to get men in trouble. It's absolutely never happened. No woman would ever lie about rape because it's just too traumatic and horrible.

Hepeating is how men supposedly steal credit for a woman's idea by basically repeating a suggestion that she just made and then getting credit for the suggestion.

Again, the stealing credit for ideas is a regrettably common practice. But the feminists seek to characterize this as something only men to do women; i.e. women never do this to men or to other women, and men never do it to other men.

Olds & idiots... It's cable teevee. Your point?

@Snoopy -

I somehow wound up on the GOP email list. On the day of the SOTU address I received an email purportedly from Eric Trump, that opened with these lines:

"We’re sick of hearing the media say that our movement is losing support. Today that ends.

YOU can prove them wrong while the world watches my father’s first official State of the Union Address.

The official Donald J. Trump for President livestream of the speech will display the names of all the patriots who chose to make a contribution for the world to see."

The email went on to encourage people to donate $1 to see their names scroll across the TV as a f#ck you to The Media.

Based on the record viewership numbers, I'm going to guess this was a brilliantly effective marketing move.

And this is why gifts are better than cash
