Mask Off Moment: Women Are Not Responsible … For Anything

Carl Benjamin chimes in.

“Hoo boy”

After the declaration of a mistrial in the horrifying Massachusetts murder case involving Lindsay Clancy, what is there to say, except to note how wildly inconsistent we’ve become in measuring concepts like “capacity” and “responsibility.” We’re a culture that doesn’t forgive, but quickly excuses. I don’t know what it means, nor do I understand how this case became a such a rallying cry for — something? What, exactly? How can “mental defect” have a lobby? What’s happening to people?

Is the EU the True Salvation for Canadians?

Remember the old adage, “Be careful what you wish for”? Well, a constant refrain of more than a few Canadians is to stick it to America and instead look to the EU for their future salvation. Has this plan been well thought out by, what I’ll loosely call, the usual suspects?

Maybe they should pause for a few minutes and listen to this recent speech by Frau Ursula von der Leyen, the President of the European Commission. Or just read this summary.

Do Canadians really want their life savings managed by this woman and her apparatchiks?!

And In Heaving Bosom News

On written apologies for being competent and white; on the Greens in power; and a busty scholar announces a new position:

Ms Benoit’s insights, aired via Instagram, include a revelation that SpongeBob Squarepants is also asexual. Which may hint at the dizzying levels of scholarship to be anticipated. And I have to say, Visiting Research Fellows aren’t generally so keen to show off their bras in their social media avatars, or to foreground their breasts in every single photo.

All this and more.

“Instagram Boyfriend” Joke Writing Contest

A contest you say?! Yes, but one with no official prizes. Just the pride in showing off your funny bone.

This video suggests that Justin Trudeau and Prince Harry have devolved into the role most suited for each of them: Instagram Boyfriend. Here’s an AI slop video showing the two of them with another despicable character, Eileen Gu.

This all got me thinking: there must be a good joke here about these two nitwits and their newfound roles in life. Without sufficient caffeine in my brain while writing this, I came up with nothing. So I asked Grok to help. Here are 3 jokes it came up with about Lil’ Juthin and Dethroned Harry being Instagram Boyfriends:

  1. Justin Trudeau isn’t just Canada’s former PM — he’s also Sophie’s full-time Instagram boyfriend. His real job description? “Must maintain perfect hair while crouching in bushes for the ideal golden-hour shot.”
  2. Prince Harry left the royal family so he could focus on his true calling: being Meghan’s Instagram boyfriend. The monarchy offered him a title; she offered him the chance to hold the phone at exactly 45 degrees.
  3. Trudeau and Harry should start a support group for Instagram boyfriends. Meetings would begin with a solemn pledge: “I solemnly swear to take 47 photos of the same latte until one of them gets more than 10,000 likes.”

I am royally confident that you, dear SDA readers, can come up with something better!

Part of Toronto Has Been Ceded to Ghana

So says Toronto city councillor, Shelley Carroll:

On Competence And Other Sins

From the clown quarter of academia:

According to Dr Donna Riley, academic rigour and the expectation of competence are “exclusionary” and tools of “privilege,” and are unfair to women and minorities, for whom rigour and competence are presumably impossible.

As Dr Riley complains that expectations of rigour generate both inequality and “white male heterosexual privilege,” presumably she would rather we erased distinctions more broadly, between ability and mediocrity, and between diligence and half-arsedness. Though her own so-called scholarship, and indeed her employment, suggest that these wishes may already be coming true.

One of these.
