SUICIDAL EMPATHY:

If you ever wonder why migrant rapists get slaps on the wrist while white people go to jail in Europe –

It's because the majority of their judges are female. https://t.co/7xZS7PQRn5

THE LEFT AND RIGHT BOTH TRY TO CENSOR CAMPUS SPEECH, BUT THE LEFT ROUTINELY GETS AWAY WITH IT. They use different tactics to silence their opponents, and the outcomes are nowhere close to equal. This week’s update breaks down the data.

ROGER KIMBALL: ‘Art’ and the Pathology of our Age: Modern art stopped challenging convention long ago. Now it challenges only common sense—and rewards the people willing to applaud the loudest absurdities.

OF COURSE IT DID: Memos reveal FBI faced roadblocks to prosecute possible 2020 Michigan voter registration fraud: The FBI collected witness interviews alleging voter registration fraud in Michigan in 2020. Newly-disclosed documents show the case was delayed, and ultimately “killed” by the Biden administration.

EVERYTHING THEY DO IS FAKE:

Lots of people comparing AOC's fake accent in Memphis to Kamala's black southern preacher routine, so went back to rewatch.

Just imagine a future in which the same company can sell you a) a robot to teach you at school; b) a robot to compensate for the fact that you never learned to make friends at school; and c) a robot to gratify you because you’re lonely, alienated and your job just got automated out of existence! Who wouldn’t want to live in that world?”

You should read the book.

FROM SARAH A. HOYT:  Witch’s Daughter.

Some letters come from the living. Some come from the dead. This one comes with a formula that turns a rowboat into a miracle.

Seventeen-year-old Lord Michael Ainsling — youngest brother of the Duke of Darkwater, builder of mechanical marvels, survivor of fairyland — receives a letter from a man sixteen years dead. The inventor Tristram Blakley has not perished; he has been imprisoned by his own genius and begs the one mind in all of Avalon brilliant enough to understand his work to set him free. All Michael has to do is find seven missing brothers first and walk a magical path..

Fifteen-year-old Albinia Blakley has spent her whole life under her mother’s iron thumb — and her mother is a witch. The day Al finally escapes down a rope of knotted sheets, she lands in a world she doesn’t recognize, with no money, no magic kit, and no idea that the stranger who catches her is about to become her greatest ally.

Together, a girl with more secrets than she knows and a boy who builds machines that try to murder him must outwit a sorceress, navigate the treacherous courts of Fairyland, and unravel an enchantment years in the making — before a family is lost for good.

Witch’s Daughter is a gaslamp fantasy brimming with wit, warmth, and wonder, for readers who love their magic wrapped in velvet and their adventures served with morning tea.

I MEAN IT! GIVE BACK MY SHOCKED FACE:  As a former waterbomber pilot who used to lead an aerial firefighting fleet, I can tell you “send help” is an extremely dishonest framing by the Canadian government. The Canadian government routinely blocks U.S. firefighting companies from attacking fires in Canada, while aggressively sending their government-subsidized aircraft to the U.S. to earn commercial rates from the U.S. taxpayer. It’s big business for them and they run it like a Chinese protectionist racket.
