1. “Rick Prior, who was the head of the Metropolitan Police Federation, was suspended when he warned that his members were nervous about challenging people from some ethnic minorities for fear of being labelled racist.”

   If and when this is what he actually said, then the case is outrageous. But even *more* outrageous are the results of a search “rick prior was fired for”. It shows how covering this kind of systemic autoracism, a mix of xenophilia and oikophobia is almost non-existent outside a small section of the media.

   It’s also telling that, despite their commonness, xenophilia and oikophobia are not recognized by my FF spellchecker. Well done. Auto-racism was my invention, so let’s let that be. Also, you might want to laugh or cry when autoracism is explained by the search engine as internalized racism. But … that somehow doesn’t beat the mark. In fact, it’s about 350 degrees wrong in direction. Which is an achievement outside the realm of 720 degree turns.

2. “From 1915 through the early 1920s, an estimated one to one and a half million Armenians were killed. Hundreds of thousands more were displaced, scattered across deserts, across borders, across continents, separated from everything they once called home.”

   I never understood this had so much common with the much more known ways of the holocaust in the WWII. I thought it was a short period of murdering, a single crime of war. But it was so much a genocide as genocides are

   ‘Türkiye’ needs to come clean. “They shot back” is not really an excuse to the cruelty what the state did. I insist the Türkish should look into admitting the sins of their ancestors born 1850 or so. (I’m sorry about the ü – but really schwa is not quite the sound. It has disappeared from the contemporary English, I wonder when exactly. The vowel chart there looks interesting though, it has eight vowels, both long and short. Just like contemporary Finnish, which is not even Indo-European.)

   1. Hitler modelled what he did to the Jews on the Armenian genocide. it is also what HAMAS has planned for Israel and once they get big and strong enough, Christians worldwide.

   2. Never forget that Cenk Ungr and his nephew Piker are both enthused about what happened to the Armenians, with Cenk calling his show in tribute to those who formulated it.

3. Had my own Nites of de Rod experience yesterday. A turban wearing driver pulled out of the wrong exit from a grocery store parking lot trying to go south on one of our main north south roads. This exit has a concrete median between lanes so he tried to go south in the north bound, but naturally traffic backed up quickly and only got worse. Not even sure how he could get to that exit since it would require him to dodge his way through the entire parking lot rather than sticking to the main truck path

4. The right thinks guns are for hunting and self-defense because that’s what they use them for. The left thinks guns are for murder because that’s what they use them for. – can’t remember the attribution, but it’s the best thing I’ve read in weeks.
