I like my coffee in a cup.

It's quite good this way, too:

I like my coffee in a cup.

There are some mornings I need it in an IV. Like this morning.

Coffee in tiramisu is also excellent.

I'm the 'teacher of the year' who took a knee at LSU while Trump was there

As a trans non-binary trixic, I know what it feels like to be discriminated against. But I know I have more to learn — and I know that teachers need to be more than just allies

Very insightful piece by Suzanne Moore. Her targets are British but the general line of her argument will be clear to people from many other places, too, and particularly the US. The same piece, I am sure, could be written of many other countries, with only the names and details changed.

The immediate occasion of the piece is an incident on the BBC's current affairs show when the actor Laurence Fox, in the course of an argument with a BAME woman in the audience about whether the criticism of the Duchess of Sussex was racist, made some extremely stupid remarks, and which she must have found quite offensive, mocking the idea of white privilege.

These people are the establishment. White privilege and casual sexism is the sea they tend to swim in. Attention-seeking haters such as Katie Hopkins and strangely bitter successes such as Piers Morgan help spawn these posh understudies.

Their side has won, so why are they such losers? Why are their egos so fragile? And why are they so easily rattled if they are only saying what ordinary people think, as they like to suggest?

The actor has joined the ranks of posh white guys who feel they have to champion the so-called common man. Why are these people so easily offended, asks Guardian columnist Suzanne Moore

bitter successes such as Piers Morgan

Piers Morgan is what MRAs call a 'beta cuck'. He snipes and flees in hopes that alphas will tolerate his presence and perhaps even bestow title of 'honourary alpha'.

bitter successes such as Piers Morgan help spawn these posh understudies.

Which makes liddle Fox here, a beta's beta.

I spotted this, in The Times, which gives quite a good account of the exchange, and puts it in a wider context, including Piers Morgan fulminating on breakfast TV:

We’re wrong to shout down cries of racism | Comment | The Times

We’re wrong to shout down cries of racism Hugo Rifkind Laurence Fox and Piers Morgan are sure race plays no part in criticism of Meghan — but really, how would they know? The journalist went on TV to ...

(Incidentally, I have never understood why on earth people want to watch Piers Morgan being Piers Morgan at any time of the day or night, but over breakfast, for heaven's sake? What sort of people want him ranting away over the toast and cornflakes?)

What sort of people want him ranting away over the toast and cornflakes?)

Chavs, neds, bogans, yobs, rednecks, hosers, etc.

Same sort who read this clown: Rex Murphy: We’re freezing! Isn’t it great? The carbon tax must be working!

Only minus the need to read.

The radicalisation of Laurence Fox shows the worrying power of right-wing YouTube

The British actor is a self-confessed victim of YouTube indoctrination. Its influence on politics should concern us all.

Online radicalisation by the right --- worrying stuff.

Record number of guns seized at US airports last year

More firearms were seized at airports across the United States last year than ever before by the TSA. The 4,432 firearms detected in carry-on and checked bags at TSA airport checkpoints represent an approximately 5% increase over the 4,239 found in 2018.

Lisa Nandy, a British Labour MP who is running in the election to replace Jeremy Corbyn as party leader, had this exchange with Piers Morgan today:

'How on earth would you know?': Lisa Nandy slams Piers Morgan over Meghan racism claims – video

The Labour leadership candidate defended the Duchess of Sussex against Morgan's claims that she had not suffered racism from the British press

www.theguardian.com

No, I don't understand why he was complaining to her about the couple, either, so I assume it's just another symptom of his monomania.

She's very unlikely to win the election, which is really between Keir Starmer and Rebecca Long Davis, but she's certainly impressing a lot of people and I assume her candidature is primarily intended to raise her profile and establish her as someone who commands a considerable amount of support in the party, thus positioning her for a senior position with the eventual winner and to position herself for a subsequent leadership challenge.

A San Jose man who was allegedly beating his girlfriend in her car was pulled from it and restrained by half a dozen costumed FurCon attendees who were alerted by the woman's screams. Police arrived and arrested the man without incident; it's not known yet whether he will be charged.

That situation could've gotten a little hairy, it's true.

@katewillett in a previous life, i too fought bernie bros on here. But when my uninsured boyfriend died last year, a lot of people gave me love, but only bernie supporters took my hand and joined me in the fight to make sure it doesn't happen to anyone else. I love those motherfuckers.

Everyone wrong

A new report suggests that everyone is wrong, especially you. "Yeah, no, you're wrong," said Nina Khata, one of the report's lead authors. "In fact, everyone is wrong." The report, Everyone Wrong: Especially You, is the work of the Ottawa-based

In 2019 Americans went to the library more often than to cinemas. No joke.

“Visiting the library remains the most common cultural activity Americans engage in, by far. The average 10.5 trips to the library U.S. adults report taking in 2019 exceeds their participation in eight other common leisure activities. Americans attend live music or theatrical events and visit national or historic parks roughly four times a year on average and visit museums and gambling casinos 2.5 times annually. Trips to amusement or theme parks (1.5) and zoos (.9) are the least common activities among this list.”

In 2019, more Americans went to the library than to the movies. Yes, really.

The US film industry may have generated revenues somewhere in the region of $40 billion last year, but it seems Hollywood still has plenty of work to do if it wants to compete with that most hallow…
