Re McD's half life, I had a Captain Nemo's blueberry muffin, purchased at Sam's back around 1994 sitting on my desk for at least 13 years. It became something of a company legend/mascot. My boss's kids would come in on Take Your Children To Work Day and he liked to point out to them that they were outranked by a muffin.

[Farnsworth M Muldoon]

The perfect accompaniment to the NYTimes' story about Popeyes.

In a Facebook post in August, Nadiyah Ali, a nurse from Katy, Texas, compared the sandwich to a rival’s: Chick-fil-A’s version, she wrote, tasted as if it were made “by a white woman named Sarah who grew up around black people.” The Popeyes sandwich, she added, tasted “like it was cooked by an older black lady named Lucille.”...

Re: the pig tale:

”I never could imagine why pigs should not be kept as pets. To begin with, pigs are very beautiful animals. Those who think otherwise are those who do not look at anything with their own eyes, but only through other people’s eyeglasses. The actual lines of a pig (I mean of a really fat pig) are among the loveliest and most luxuriant in nature; the pig has the same great curves, swift and yet heavy, which we see in the rushing water or in rolling cloud. ”

Chesterton has a great deal to say on pigs as pets.

As Darleen pointed out recently, following this more serious incident, it’s tribal thinking, as opposed to what one might call bourgeois values. You could, for instance, imagine a respectable family being mortified that their child had done something to warrant police attention. Indignation might therefore be directed at the misbehaving child, not the person pointing out that some presumably significant misbehaviour had occurred. I’m trying to imagine the likely reactions of my own parents, or my school-friends’ parents, to a similar visit from the police. I think we’d have been much more scared of the parental hellfire that would have been unleashed.

In the clip above, however, there doesn’t seem to be much parental interest in what had been done to make police involvement necessary. And so normal consequences are treated as an affront, something to resist.

[WTP]

Popeyes has been getting a lot of press for a while now. In the leftist sense of no such thing as bad publicity, methinks the media protests too much about them being racist. I suspect the general idea is to help Popeyes cut into the market of evil, evil Chick-fil-a. I suspected something was up here several months ago when a black millennial that I work with went on and on about how much he liked Chick-fil-a and how he would not "apologize" for it. At the time I didn't understand the insistence or the need to apologize. It's starting to make sense now.

I'll believe this anti-Popeyes thing is real when I see the kind of boycotting we see against Chick-fil-a.

While watching the clip, it’s perhaps worth remembering that the Guardian’s Zoe Williams keeps telling us that such families are shunned only because they’re poor, as if their actual behaviour were in no way worthy of comment. They are, she says, being “shunted out of society for not being rich enough.” To disapprove of such families is, we’re told, “the demonization of the poor.”

And yet those who most strongly disapprove tend to be people of equally modest means, and who wish that their lives weren’t being blighted by the louts living next door. And so, our Guardian columnist is the one who’s erasing distinctions between people who don’t have much cash and those who are practically feral. It goes without saying that the well-heeled Ms Williams is unlikely to have ever lived near, or even briefly visited, the kind of estate where such creatures multiply.

Curious if anyone out there listens to jazz on NPR. I put it on in the truck about once a month or two and it’s kinda freaking me out how often they play this lame Fragile tune, I think originally by Sting, but whoever does this jazz version is even lamer. I don’t get the popularity. Was it in some SJW movie or something?

For many years Dearly Beloved and I were unable to live together as we both had aged and infirm mothers so we would regularly shuttle between Birmingham and Essex. It used to be a real pleasure for me to sit on the train between Fenchurch Street and Upminster and luxuriate in a veritable ocean of pallor. Then I would arrive at his estate, where specimens such as those in this clip were sadly not rare. They do let the side down rather. Still, it made me a more rounded person, being able to loathe my own kind too. (#NotAllWhites. Obvs.)

[Lord of the Fleas]

A wonderful exercise in compare-and-contrast here, David.

First up, we have the first Teachable Moment, wherein an (apparently) Romanian cop is kicked in the groin by a lout already under arrest, so he up and cold-cocks the bugger, laying him out cold with a single seemingly-innocuous straight right to the head. Bing! Job done.

And then, in Underclass Scenes, we see PC Plod, being ever-so solicitous of the entire troop of simians, only belatedly resorting to pepper spray to extricate himself (without his initial quarry in tow). Had the Romanian been there, that grotesque woman would have been flat on her back the moment she intervened (though still, very likely, ending up the same height), and everyone else would have known better than to stick their various body parts into that particular pencil sharpener.

It is to weep.

“How about we don’t make it about your sexuality for once?” has been designated Hatespeech.

This is very unusual. Not that I want to make a Greta Thunberg out of this, it's taken a 17 year old to remind us how to make a conservative case on conservative principles - this is our history, don't mess with it. She was given a hoop to jump through (wear a rainbow poppy in a Remembrance Day choir performance) to show how not-homophobic she was. Not only most teenagers but most adult conservatives would feel that they had to go along with that. But she counterattacked and took the battle to the choir director who she accused in a flyer campaign of subverting or diverting the dress code of a solemn ceremony for his own minority agenda.

The school is spinning it to be about individual rights - whether the choir members were formally required to wear the rainbow poppy, leaving out whatever informal pressure might have been applied (I just thought it would be a nice gesture for all of us as a group to show solidarity with our LGBTQ members, but of course if you're not comfortable joining in...). And they're saying she wasn't suspended for refusing to wear the rainbow poppy, but for hate speech, and indeed her questioning of the agenda of her betters just might qualify as hate speech.

And when you have friends in the publication known as the Post-Millennial you don't need enemies. The reporter is trying to maximize her intersectionality points (she's a girl, she's got a cousin who qualifies as indigenous, she's half African-Canadian, which I guess breaks down into a quarter African and a quarter Canadian), and to play the damsel card on her behalf ... called into the office with two mean grown men (who she was more than a match for).

The principle came up in an interesting chat that Will Franken had with the Irish columnist John Waters. A representative of a progressive school was telling Waters about how the students were taught to respect the traditions, identity affiliations, and religious sensibilities of other people. Waters then asked whether the students were brought up with any traditions that other people would be obliged to be respectful of, or was it just a one-way meta-traditionalism with a hollow center.

On the sight line one, we were taught in high school that, as a rough and ready rule of thumb, the distance you can see out to sea in miles is the square root of your height above sea level, in feet. You can do the geometry knowing the radius of the earth.

Then, if you are say standing on a sea side cliff and want to know how high you are above sea level or the beach below, throw a rock horizontally and count the seconds until it hits the ground or splashes into the water. The height in feet is then 16 times the square of the number of seconds.

Putting it all together, the distance you can see out to sea is 4 times the number of seconds the rock takes to hit the ground/water.

Just so you know, in case you want to impress someone while standing on a beach side cliff

What I found most disappointing about the whole scene was that, between a thin arm of the law struggling to collar a miscreant yute, and a dole-fattened adult male of the miscreant class struggling to protect a child presumably carrying some shared DNA, the two combined put up about as much fight as you might expect from an arthritic, elderly eunuch.

Attention you lot over in the UK, please to correct your speech and history books, a scholar has spoken.

The term ‘Anglo-Saxon’ should be DROPPED from modern speech because it has links with white supremacists, says scholar and medieval England specialist Mary Rambaran-Olm...Miss Rambaran-Olm said people in early England – or ‘Englelond’ – did not call themselves Anglo-Saxons but tended to refer to themselves as ‘Englisc’ or ‘Anglecynn’.

I am not an active member of the Medievalists of Color, but, just blue skying here, "Anglecynn" sounds rather like a slurred version of Anglo-Saxon, or maybe how it was pronounced back in the Medieval days, sort of like that Englelond thing, not that Englelond evidently meant "Land of the Angles".

Thank all the Druid gods we have scholars to save us from the white supremacy of all the wypipo who settled over there.

[David]

The socially destructive effect of this judgment, if it were to be generalised, hardly needs emphasis. The judgment made honestly held belief, however absurd, a defence against what would otherwise be a criminal act, and it therefore made everyone a law unto himself.

Darleen: there's a lot bigger imbalances than that one: Playing with Fire and Maleficent.

I no longer ever go to Rotten Tomatoes to see if a film is worth seeing. It seems to be completely out of sync with its audiences -- not understanding that in an age of niche markets a film can hit the spot for its target audience without needing to appeal to everyone.

I go to see a movie maybe once a year. Either because I am fairly sure it will be historically correct or because Mark Steyn gave it an interesting (if not entirely) favourable review.

I had to look up "chav name". Actually we don't have a name for it, but the concept is readily bandied about. You'll hear joking about names of criminals saying "what did their parents expect when they named him/her?" Related conversations are girls having "stripper" names.

As I worked at a DA office, this was a regular point of humor. You name your baby girl (true name) Diamonique Monet don't be surprised if she takes up shoplifting for a career.

[Darleen]

I really believe that the teachers who support this nonsense actually hate children.

“Gentle Hands simply means playing games outside that do not need to be physical. This will ensure the playground is a happy, safe and calm place where everyone can enjoy their lunchtime running around and getting the exercise we know is important to them”

The adults in charge want a "calm" lunchtime? Let them go teach yoga to adults. Playgrounds should be as close to anarchy as possible with adults only at the periphery to take care of accidents or break up any physical intimidation. Otherwise, LEAVE KIDS ALONE ... to blow off steam, create their own games, to learn to negotiate with their peers.

No wonder kids get to college and can't emotionally cope with anyone that says 'I disagree'.

[pst314]

LYou name your baby girl (true name) Diamonique Monet don't be surprised if she takes up shoplifting for a career.

[Baceseras]

"With the incredible casting of Woody Harrelson as Nimitz and Dennis Quaid as Halsey, the critics may be right this time."

Yah, I haven't seen it yet either.

Those are both good actors, among the best we have, and they must be the right age for the roles now -- can't go on playing young goofs forever: in fact, they haven't. Harrelson especially has been lucky with not only good roles, but with good directors and pictures -- The Walker and Rampart come to mind.

Not to quibble about Midway though, as I said I haven't seen it yet. And the critics may be right this time.

[TimT]

From Darleen’s link:

“ In a letter to parents, Mrs Smith said: “To clarify, ‘gentle hands’ does not mean ‘no touching’. The children are, of course, allowed to hold hands or play clapping games with a friend should they wish to”

I cannot for the life of me remember any boys playing ‘clapping games’ at my old school. Sounds a bit like Miss Smith doesn’t like boys.

"Granted lying to your doctor isn't going to make you any better, but it's always nice to pull one over on someone smarter than yourself."

Playgrounds should be as close to anarchy as possible with adults only at the periphery to take care of accidents or break up any physical intimidation.

As a child of the 80s/teen of the 90s I recall by high school my (male) friends and I seeing the changes that were being made to playgrounds we grew up on and all thinking no good would come of it. Much of what was not being torn down and replaced with smooth, soft plastic was being made off limits; even more unsettling was that kids seemed to be meekly obeying orders not to play on or around the older contraptions we had happily (and often) bruised and scraped ourselves on when we were just little bastards.

Then shortly after most of us were graduated came the rise of “zero tolerance” policies right up to the high school level.

If one’s goal were to incrementally condition the young to be completely unequipped to defy bullying and coercion, these steps would have made fine early progress.
