Why You’re Recycling Wrong

13th March 2019

Vox is today’s Nanny.

A classic proglodyte piece of ‘journalism’. (Actually, it doesn’t go into motivation, so the headline probably ought to read ‘HOW you’re recycling wrong’.) But it assumes that you are stupid and Doing It Wrong, while the author is Smart and With It and is therefore entitled to wag a finger or two our way.  Mission accomplished! Calling it Problems Some People Have With Recycling would let you off the hook, and our sense of moral superiority won’t let us do that.

I suspect that the ‘why’ is that we just don’t give a shit about being careful to follow collectivist programs like recycling, and I’m okay with that.

Forbes ‘Gun Business Beat’ Contributor Shows Her Bias

6th March 2019

Read it.

Forbes.com contributor Elizabeth MacBride recently produced an essay that says far more about herself than the subject she has been supposedly getting to know over the course of “more than a year.” In “The Second Amendment Is A Marketing Slogan, And Other Lessons from The Gun Business Beat,” we are witness to what happens when a writer uses his or her own pre-existing beliefs to interpret what they see. In the world of intelligence gathering it’s called “mirror imaging.”

That approach might be an acceptable approach for a novelist, but such clear bias coming from a “business writer” who claims to be reporting on what she found in that role is a real disservice to Forbes readers. Serving as a self-appointed tour guide for those on the other side of our nation’s cultural divide when it comes to gun ownership, she is now only reinforcing the biases of those who would never deign to set foot on a range or venture near a gun counter

‘Sustainable’ is one of those words, like ‘vibrant’, that hipsters use when they want to compliment a person or a practice, whether or not it means anything or is even relevant. In this case, it’s even a title — the author is a ‘Sustainability Editor’, which makes no sense whatever. Apparently the qualifications for ‘Sustainability Editor’ include an affection for cauliflower gnocchi (you can hear the Virtue Signaling Pokemon Points rack up) and an ability to be annoyed by plastic. The fact that plastic represents a major advance in the art of preserving fresh and sanitary food is, apparently, So Fifteen Minutes Ago.

The entire article is an illustration of the sad fact that Progs Are Never Satisfied. No matter what one does, no matter how far over backward one bends to meet their unrealistic expectations, there is always something that one has failed to do, for which one can expect criticism. There is no point at which one will hear, ‘Okay, you’ve done what you can, this is good enough.’ Nothing is ever good enough,

It’s part of the paper’s left-wing “Britain’s Big Squeeze” series against so-called austerity measures in England. The online deck of headlines signals the paper making a purposeful shove to the left: “‘Austerity, That’s What I Know’: The Making of a U.K. Millennial Socialist — Alex McIntyre, 19, was brought up in a Britain being reshaped by government cuts. He gave up on capitalism after a year in college.”

Bee Stings, Cult Violence, and MAGA Hats

25th February 2019

The Other McCain reviews some numbers.

Did you know this? “Seventy-one percent of the 387 ‘extremist related fatalities in the United States’ from 2008 to 2017 were committed by members of far-right and white-supremacist groups, according the Anti-Defamation League’s Center on Extremism.” That was published in the New York Times, which failed to do the math — i.e., 28 deaths per year, which “is less than half the annual fatality rate associated with bee and wasp stings,” as David Catron explains at The American Spectator.

Catron further explains that even this 28-per-year estimate of “extremist related fatalities” for “far-right and white-supremacist groups” is probably inflated and, while it is wrong to minimize this threat, it is also wrong to exaggerate it. There have already been 31 black people shot to death in Chicago this year, and it’s not “far-right and white-supremacist groups” who are committing those Chicago homicides.

Slate: Evil Trolls [Possibly Russian] Are Making Fun of Kamala Harris by Using the Truth

24th February 2019

Steve Sailer reads April Glaser so that you don’t have to.

Even if a meme you see that disparages a Democratic candidate is based on truth, it’s important to remember that its goal might be to simply weaken Democrats by making candidates toxic for swaths of the left, and ultimately make 2020 a repeat of 2016.

The swine — telling the truth about a Democrat candidate.

Amy Harmon: Only 0.7% of Math Professors Are Black Due to Microaggressions! Reader: Coincidentally, Only 0.7% of Kids Who Score >=750 on Math SAT Are Black.

23rd February 2019

Steve Sailer turns over a rock.

Nobody questions the 0.7%, what we question is the ‘due to’ clause.  I got a 698 on the Math SAT and never deluded myself that I had the talent to be a Mathematics Professor.

The silliest idea peddled by proglodytes is the concept of ‘underrepresented’, which apparently proceeds from their assumption that every category of person is exactly equal to every other category of person, without any allowance for personal differences, and so if group A is X percent of the population then group A must be X percent of whatever (math professors, hockey players, bricklayers, whatever). By that metric, white people are ‘underrepresented’ on basketball and football teams, and women are ‘underrepresented’ in our prison population.

LGBT Magazine Accuses Trump Of Racism Over International Gay Rights Campaign  No pleasing some people.

Pelosi Urges Congress To Block Trump Emergency Declaration  Which, of course, it cannot do. Any bill or joint resolution would have to be signed by Trump, and that ain’t gonna happen. And the Democrats don’t have the necessary supermajority in the Senate to override such a veto. This is virtue-signaling straight up.

Trump panel to examine whether global warming affects national security will include climate change denier  They could have used the term ‘climate change skeptic’ but they had to say ‘climate change denier’ so that you wouldn’t mistake this for actual journalism.

Alec Baldwin ‘fears for his family’s safety’ following Donald Trump threat ‘Trump signals people, not necessarily what to do, but how to feel, and that’s the beginning’ Gee, you could say the same thing about CNN.

The UK should be ashamed of paving the way for Trump’s inhumane treatment of Hoda Muthana  Everything bad in the world is Trump’s fault.

Tainted Deutsch Accuses Trump of ‘Racism,’ ‘Make America White Again’  Barack Obama is, of course, not an individual but a Platonic form of a Negro, so any criticism of him is ipso facto racism. Or something.

This was nonsense. NPR reporters looked into the 235 shootings reported by the U.S. Department of Education and were only able to confirm 11 of them.
