There are many reasons to abhor the 1970s and its gross excesses, theological, political, and cultural, but there are those of a certain age who actually wax nostalgic over that awful decade. One of them was your Tatler’s former superior in the music industry, who understandably, as a student of the Frankfurt School of Economics andContinue reading “The ’70s: The Taste-Free Decade.”

A Tall Rickety Structure Grows Taller and Taller Still.
“No foundation, anywhere. Whole world. No foundation. All the way down the line.“ –William Saroyan, The Time of Your Life. Social sciences are in a perilous state and have been for some time. Half-a-century ago the Bostonian historian Walter Muir Whitehill derided them as “the fraudulent disciplines,” singling out psychology and sociology, and saying heContinue reading “A Tall Rickety Structure Grows Taller and Taller Still.”
A Roadside Shrine.
Who did this? 🤣🤣🤣 pic.twitter.com/KZMeC9d4d7 — Tim Young (@TimRunsHisMouth) July 11, 2022 Still awaiting flowers, teddy bears, and votive candles. Pilgrimages led by Doctor Jill Biden to be announced soon.
At Least She didn’t Address Them “Your People.”
Once again, Dr. Jill Biden butchers the Spanish language in furtherance of pandering to a client constituency (the org FKA National Council of La Raza). I hereby bless your timelines with Dr. Jill's rendering of "bodega". pic.twitter.com/Z4FSXtlUMe — Jorge Bonilla, Bowgedah Bro (@BonillaJL) July 11, 2022 Honing patronization to a fine art. Compounding Doctor Jill’sContinue reading “At Least She didn’t Address Them “Your People.””
Catholic Church Torched, Tabernacle Desecrated, Stations of the Cross Torn Down in Bethesda, Maryland.
More “mostly peaceful” demonstrations by the left. Pastor suspects abortion activists. Nothing new, here: vandalizing Catholic churches was a routine tactic of intimidation by the all-Democrat Klu Klux Klan in its campaign against mongrel races, including Catholics. Democrats today might issue half-hearted condemnations and rationalizations of acts like these, as well disavow past connections withContinue reading “Catholic Church Torched, Tabernacle Desecrated, Stations of the Cross Torn Down in Bethesda, Maryland.”
Shockingly, a Few Years Ago this was Considered Unnecessary.
The Church of England plumbs new depths, but diving will continue until it hits bottom or attendance hits zero, whichever comes first. In a written reply to a question submitted to General Synod, a senior Bishop said that although the meaning of the word woman was previously “thought to be self-evident”, “additional care” was nowContinue reading “Shockingly, a Few Years Ago this was Considered Unnecessary.”
Noted with Satisfaction: “Who’d have ever guessed that a scheming mediocrity with zero executive experience would be so bad at this job?”
–Stephen Green @Instapundit. Linking to this piece by veteran blogger Tyler Durden at ZeroHedge.
Oh Dear, Engrish Can Get You into Trouble.
Note the “finishes” specification. D’ye suppose our Chinese friends meant dull? Or perhaps matte? The Free Dictionary provides a clue. [French, curdled milk, matte, from feminine of obsolete mat, compact, from Old French, dull, from Latin mattus, stupefied; see mat2.]
This Should Keep the Lawyers Busy.
Twitter’s chairman to Musk: See you in court. As a young attorney friend said to your Tatler years ago: “Billable hours are sweeter than flowers.” Quarterly returns of these partnerships should prove most impressive and provide years and years of nice steady income.
Two Can Play This Game.
Waaaa! Twump shthowe our shwogan! The excellent blogger at For What It’s Worth reports wailing and gnashing of the teeth at National Public Radio over the loss of the classic feminist marching cry, “My body, My Choice.” Apparently it was appropriated (a leftie euphemism for “stealing,” but only when they’re doing it) by protestors opposedContinue reading “Two Can Play This Game.”
