New treats from Boston Dynamics.

This seems correct, in the NYT:

Among those who identify with the “incel” movement, there is a pathological fixation on sex and women, and there is a self-pitying perception that everyone else, except the community of “incels,” is having sex. Women are craved, but they are also reviled for what the incels believe is their selective promiscuity: They seem to be having sex with everyone but them. This is internalized as a grave personal insult. The function of the “incel” movement is to transform that personal grievance into an ideology that casts women as despicable sexual objects.

And this from Hymowitz is golden, in the LAT:

Like every generation, Second Wavers view the present through the lens of their own experience. They successfully navigated a world of sexual freedom and autonomy, why couldn't these younger women? What they didn't factor in is how much earlier generations benefited from the lingering cultural capital of more mannerly times — long-established courtship norms don't disappear overnight, after all. There has never been a time when women didn't have to fend off gropers and assaulters, but most of us of a certain age weren't limited to a dating pool heavily populated by males in the throes of porn- and hookup-infected post-adolescence.

But also, this.

Instapundit has a PSA for people fleeing from high tax bleu states to low tax red states:

ENJOY THE IMPROVED WEATHER, LOWER COST OF LIVING, AND LACK OF URBAN DECAY. DON’T VOTE FOR THE POLICIES THAT LED TO CONDITIONS YOU’RE LEAVING BEHIND.

Good month for cable cutters. Bad for ESPN.

It’s become a major trend, when tax season arrives, cable and satellite subscriber numbers tank according to Nielsen estimates. I don’t know if that’s because come spring tax season everyone looks at their yearly budgets and many people, in an effort to save money, decide they don’t need cable and satellite subscriptions any longer, or whether the end of the NFL, college football, and college basketball causes many sports fans to tune out for the summer. But regardless of the reason cord cutting in the spring has become an annual trend.

And the start of this spring was brutal for ESPN, costing the network 500,000 subscribers, or nearly 17,000 lost subscribers a day in the month of April. Putting that into context, this is $48 million in revenue that ESPN has lost forever. (That’s $8 a month x 500,000 lost subscribers x 12 months in a year).

The mathematics of the necessity of an AR rifle.

There are certain things in the world you’d rather have and not need, than need and not have. And paramount among those things, given the state of the modern human condition, is a rifle.

So if you ask someone else on the opposite side of a culture war argument, “Why would you want to own one of those things, anyway?” please don’t be surprised if they simply respond, “Why wouldn’t you?"

Suzanne Venker has some thoughts on the current state of chivalry.

A friend of mine whose mother died recently was going through her parents’ memorabilia and unearthed a Western Union telegram from 1954 that her father sent her mother just before they married. Here’s what it said:

Darling, I shall be waiting for you at eight. With a lifetime of expectancy. My heart will be coming with you down the aisle. May God be with us tonight as we pray we will always be with Him. Thank you for becoming my wife. My love forever yours, Henry

Several days after I’d read this note, I came across this miserable tripe on Facebook: “Chivalry is harmful to both men and women,” relays the woman in the video. “because it reinforces this idea that women need to be helped or saved by a stronger man. And it takes away a woman’s agency.”
