Initials RIP

Apparently Brigitte Bardot has left us. Shame she revealed herself as such a godawful racist in later life, cos for me at least that rather undid whatever good work she did as an actress and animal rights activist… on which note, I wonder what she made of her good mate and “alter ego” Alain Delon’s request to have his dog euthanased and buried with him at his death? I know her foundation stepped in to prevent that, I just wonder what she herself thought about it. After all, they seemed to agree on so much else politically…

You make me feel so white

Merry Christmas to you too, cunt. I’ve seen a few people posting about this, noting correctly that both Francis and Dino were the products of migrants themselves, but that’s the thing. Miller probably doesn’t count Italy as “third world”, they’re probably white enough for him that he can overlook it. A hundred or so years ago, mind you, well THAT would’ve been another matter… I have no doubt that had Miller been around in circa 1900 or thereabouts, he would’ve been an enthusiastic participant in the anti-Italian sentiment of that era, and would’ve agitated to keep out those aforementioned migrants who eventually produced Dean and Frank so that there would be no Dean & Frank Xmas special in 1967… And remember, Stephen Miller has immigrant ancestry himself, just like, you know, practically everyone in the US apart from the first nations folk, and I think it’s fair to ask what they contributed to the US in the long run if Stephen Miller was the best their genes could ultimately produce. Equally fair to say that Antonino & Natalina and Gaetano & Angela added something far more worthwhile to America than Stephen’s parents did or that he himself will…

Remember the Rapture?

Cos evidently this guy hasn’t forgotten it like the rest of us:

This… possibly not altogether there chap, Tilahun Desalegn, stood out to me in the coverage of the non-event of September 2025 by virtue of being noticeably Australian (I alluded to him here before). And, well, yeah, per the video above, he’s got new evidence that the Rapture would in fact finally happen at Christmas. It’s a bit unfair to single him out, cos a quick search on Youtube reveals several dozen other channels there predicting the same thing, or at any rate it would apparently happen at Hanukkah. Seems all those prophets never predicted what did happen at Bondi at the start of Hanukkah… but hey, they were only Jews so who cares, not like they were fully human to the people posting this bullshit… Anyway, I think it’s safe to say the Rapture didn’t exactly come off as scheduled this time either, just like all the other times it’s failed and will continue to do so. Not, of course, that this has ever convinced these morons it won’t happen eventually so they’ll keep predicting it…

Merry Griftmas to all…

Look who’s found religion…

Daniel’s going to be weirdly disappointed if Edolf turns out to be Muslim now, eh? Needless to say, none of his commenters are buying it, and quite a few are speculating about what charges are coming his way that he’s going down this route so suddenly, or whether he’s just in another ketamine spiral… To be honest I believe Russell Brand’s conversion more than this; I’ve said before that I think Brand’s Christian beliefs might actually be genuine, but I do not think this of Edolf. I doubt the latter believes in anything except himself and his bank account; if I still feel Brand’s conversion was suspiciously timed (even if genuine), Musk’s putative conversion to something or other is equally suspicious and even less real. No season of goodwill to this character.

Christmas images 24

Decided to go for one of those classic “weird” Victorian Christmas card images today. I read an article about these recently, asking what the hell was wrong with the Victorians when it came to these things, and the author made the point that it’s only us confused 21st century folks that think these things are weird and surreal; the Victorians found them funny ha-ha, not funny peculiar. Which I suppose just goes to show how tastes in humour change with time or something…

Also on the box…

There was, however, one thing even better than Jake Paul getting his jaw handed to him in the world of boxing this week, and that came a few hours later…

…when this cunt got thumped in the ring by a guy who barely even counts as a boxer. So much for Andrew Taint’s great boxing debut; I know he was a kickboxer for some years, but I gather that’s still a different discipline from the little I know… and I gather, too, he didn’t exactly fight giants of the sport when he was involved in it, but, to be fair, he did do it professionally. I don’t believe Chase Demoor does, and I gather he’s best known as an influencer from some reality TV show. He is a “heavyweight champion”, but only in the rather small competition in which he fights, Misfits Boxing, which was founded a few years ago by Youtube character KSI, who, amusingly, also kicked off Jake Paul’s boxing “career”… and also Tate apparently has some stake in it as well but there seems to be some debate as to quite what that is.

Anyway, nearly ten years after retiring from kickboxing and five years since he last fought at all, Taint seemed to think he should make a sporting comeback, and seemed to think Demoor would be an easy hit… alas, though he apparently did start well, the whole thing became a mismatch like the Paul/Joshua fight, and the older guy who frankly hasn’t lived a lifestyle conducive to maintaining sporting prowess over years of inactivity lost comprehensively to the guy who apparently isn’t even that good but still not as shit as the other guy was… and Demoor humbled Tate enough that even he had to acknowledge how shit he was. The latter’s goons on Twitter and wherever else are still trying to spin it as some sort of “hey, at least he tried” moral victory, but I think he’s actually been genuinely rattled by this; he had to rely on himself for once and he found himself wanting. No word yet on what Greta Thunberg thinks about the debacle, but I feel celebratory pizza might be involved…
