I’M DOING A SERIES OF POSTS ON GOING INDIE AS A WRITE, ON WEDNESDAYS AT MAD GENIUS CLUB:  First Clean Up Your Act.

OH, TO BE IN ENGLAND: UK Home Office prints guide to teach migrants not to rape women and kids.

This is not satire.

The government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain is handing out guides to migrants upon entry to teach them why raping people is bad.

Don’t rape. Don’t be a pedo.

(Pretty please.)

If only they had these pamphlets years ago, then the whole rape gang issue could have been avoided, right?

We can just educate the rapists out of being rapists, right?

As we saw last summer, this is already going, err, swimmingly in Germany: Drowning in Lies:

UPDATE:

ANOTHER UPDATE (FROM GLENN):

If you want migrants to get the idea about rape, publicly hang a few rapists. Or burn them in the public square, or draw and quarter them, or subject them to other traditional public English penalties. They’ll figure it out PDQ. The posters, by comparison, are a joke and, in the absence of strict and public penalties, convey weakness.

OPEN THREAD: Hump Day.

NEW FRACKING REVOLUTION IS HERE: If you haven’t read Rod Martin’s latest on the all-but-unheralded development of petcoke-blend proppant, you might as well be back in the days of whale oil. And oh by the way, if the DSA looneys get in power, we can all forget being warmed in the winter and A/C-cooled in the summer because they will kill this new technology.

PLAUSIBLE:

UPDATE (From Ed):

A CALL TO POWER: Islamic Leaders See Ballot Box as Path to Paradise.

Like Polish, German, Irish, and Italian immigrants before them, American Muslims now control several small cities. These include Hamtramck, which has an all-Muslim city council, as well as midsize cities like neighboring Dearborn. They are also wielding influence in large metropolises like New York City, where Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s top staff is composed almost entirely of Muslims.

In one sense, this is just the continuation of the country’s deep tradition of offering newcomers the opportunity to contribute their own customs to American society. But some critics say this iteration of the immigrant story offers a distinct challenge. A number of leading Muslim candidates for office, for example, are so opposed to America’s longtime ally Israel that their rhetoric veers into antisemitism. And some, such as the Democratic Party candidate for U.S. Senate in Michigan, Abdul El-Sayed, are being supported with campaign funds linked to Hamas front groups and the radical, pro-jihad Muslim Brotherhood, which federal authorities say has a secret plan for “destroying” America “from within.”

El-Sayed won his primary with at least $315,000 in Muslim Brotherhood-tied funds, a RealClearInvestigations examination of Federal Election Commission filings reveals, and he hopes his harsh attacks on “evil” Israel will help him become the first Muslim to sit in the U.S. Senate. Other Muslim candidates have ties to groups that have officially been designated as terror organizations, including al-Qaeda. Adam Hisham Hamawy, the Democratic nominee running for New Jersey’s 12th Congressional District, once maintained close ties to the late al-Qaeda “Blind Sheikh,” who was convicted for his role in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, including acting as his translator, driver and defense witness.

5 MILLION LOST JOBS IF DSA GETS ITS WAY: New economic analysis of the projected impact of raising the Minimum Wage to $25 per hour sees more than 5 million jobs lost, with the biggest impact by far being on women and teenagers.

ABE GREENWALD: The Revolution Has a Trust Fund.

How do you know when you’ve made it in America? When your grown-up kid declares he’s a socialist. It means you’ve given your family a level of material comfort and security so unquestionable that your child has never even thought about how it happened. The very life you’ve provided him is like a seamless work of art in which all the grueling spadework has been successfully hidden. Good for you. Bad for everyone else.

The New York Post has a terrific piece today that provides a detailed example of this phenomenon. The co-chair of the New York City Democratic Socialists of America, Gustavo Gordillo, lives in a two-story, $1.5 million home that his parents purchased in Bedford-Stuyvesant.

They didn’t buy the place for themselves but for the 38-year-old Gordillo and his brother. What, after all, would his parents want with a 2,000-square-foot house in Brooklyn when they own a “sprawling more than 5,000-square-foot, five-bed, six-bath home in Boca Raton that is currently on the market for $3.1 million” and “another $3 million home in Weston, Fla., that is just slightly larger and has five beds and seven baths”?

Gordillo, you see, comes from an exorbitantly prosperous and enterprising family of Peruvian immigrants who came to the U.S. and struck gold. Naturally, he hates American capitalism and the country that has showered him in miracles.

As with John Lennon in 1970, a working class hero is something to cosplay:

FIFTY CAMERAS IN THE DARK: How the First Atomic Bomb Was Photographed.

At 5:29:45 in the morning on July 16, 1945, in a stretch of New Mexico desert the Spanish called the Jornada del Muerto, the sky turned brighter than the noon sun. Aimed at that flash, tucked into steel-and-lead bunkers and buried instrument boxes ringing a 100-foot tower, sat roughly fifty cameras. Most of the cameras were unmanned and triggered automatically, although Brixner personally occupied a tracking-camera position at North 10,000. Every one had been focused, loaded, and left in the dark hours earlier, wired to fire on a countdown, because no human eye could be trusted to catch what was about to happen and no photographer could survive standing close enough to try. The world has entered the nuclear age.

Those cameras had a job no camera had ever been asked to do. They had to record an event that had never been photographed, that was calculated to outshine the sun many times over, and that would be finished, in its most important moments, in a few thousandths of a second. The team that built the rig had no exposure to copy, no reference frame to trust, and exactly one chance. What they captured became some of the most reproduced photographs of the twentieth century, and, in a twist almost no one expects, the raw material a British physicist would later use to reverse-engineer the bomb’s secret yield from published pictures alone.

If you’re a photography buff, read the whole thing — unless you’re Tucker Carlson, of course: ‘Nuclear weapons were not created by human forces:’ Tucker Carlson faces ridicule over ‘demonic’ claims.
