Just when you thought it was safe to go back in Saturday morning….
University of Washington professor Holly Barker published her musings on the yellow sponge cartoon character and his deep-sea pals in an academic journal called The Contemporary Pacific: A Journal of Island Affairs, which features “readable” articles focused on “social, economic, political, ecological, and cultural topics.”
In her article titled “Unsettling SpongeBob and the Legacies of Violence on Bikini Bottom,” Barker’s chief complaint hinges on her perception that the show’s fictional setting of the town of Bikini Bottom is based on the nonfictional Bikini Atoll, a coral reef in the Marshall Islands used by the U.S. military for nuclear testing during the Cold War.

Tempers flared Monday at a meeting of the Oak Park, Illinois, city government as trustee Susan Buchanan told fellow board members to “shut up” while discussing a resolution in support of diversity. What was context of the outburst? Buchanan said, “Why are you arguing what is a system of oppression? You’ve never experienced one, so shut up! I don’t want to hear from you!”

Steve Sailer does a little fisking.

Two plus two may equal four, but if the student says five, you better not correct them, oppressor! Math, in Seattle schools, will become a social justice course. But that’s not all. The U.S. government will be posited as a racist institution that must be destroyed. If this is taught to students, it’s indoctrination at its most destructive.

Graham Piro at the Washington Free Beacon found a fascinating nugget in the waning minutes of an hourlong Monday segment of the NPR talk show 1A. They’re doing a series of climate segments under the heading “No Plan B.” Host Joshua Johnson was speaking about how many Democratic voters strongly — we might say creepily — hope to see their opponents die off, so the Left can get what they want. These are the “compassionate” ones, the “open-minded” ones?

Reporters from The New York Times and elsewhere said the company’s decision to exempt politicians like President Donald Trump from a fact-checkers’ gavel will likely turn social media into caldrons of misinformation. Facebook said the move was done to ensure speech from politicians will be heard and seen ahead of elections.
In other words, Facebook has retired from the media circus that supports the Narrative.
Bad Facebook! No biscuit!

David Cole peeks behind the curtain.
Last month, The New York Times went all-in on born of sin, declaring that every single thing about the U.S. is a direct result of slavery. Take sugar, for example. Your affection for candy bars is racist. Sure, today’s sugar is not the product of slavery. But because it used to be a really long time ago, the mark of (sugar) Cain has forever branded your malted balls. Even your sweet tooth is racist, the Times reasons, because if not for the slaves behind the initial mass production of sugar in the Americas, we might be perfectly content today sucking on lemons and eating a flavorless mush called rootmarm.

Kevin Williamson.
You know what kind of grown man uses a straw? The guy who is watching something loud and obnoxious on his phone in public without headphones. In shorts. Like it’s normal. Like he shouldn’t be murdered on the spot.
Kevin Williamson, thank God, doesn’t determine what ‘grown men’ do — as if some guy who shaves his head and arranges his facial hair to resemble a goat’s ass has any room to talk about cultural norms.
I use a straw because I don’t like ice cubes clinking on my teeth. Straws are one of those little conveniences that our ancestors invented to make life easier, which have been transmitted to us down the years, and which elevate us above the animals. Kevin is welcome to pour his drink into a dish and lap it up like the dog he is.
UPDATE: For Straws, against Kevin

One of the revelations from the character assassination attempt of Justice Brett Kavanaugh by The New York Times was that Leland Keyser, an alleged witness to the allegations of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, was viciously pressured by Blasey Ford’s allies to back up the claims unless she wanted to be discredited with her past history of drug abuse. Well, one of the reporters behind the hit piece did the work for Team Blasey Ford in an appearance on CNN’s so-called “Reliable Sources” and slimed Keyser’s rebuttal.
Don’t ever forget that these people are all playing for a side. They don’t.

Lord knows, the New York Times serves as a reliable media arm of the DNC. But let the newspaper stray from that mission for a millisecond, and the liberal establishment will come down on it like a ton of bricks. On Joy Reid’s MSNBC show today, Maria Teresa Kumar of “Voto Latino” was furious at the Times in general, and its Ken Vogel in particular, for reporting the story of how Joe Biden intervened to have fired the prosecutor who was investigating a company that was paying Biden’s son Hunter.
