The Stranger by Rudyard Kipling

John Wyndham's The Day of the Triffids was a favourite dystopian sci-fi novel of mine as a child and in 1981 the BBC adapted it into a six-part serial. While some reviewers sneered at the Triffids themselves - “over fertilised rhubarb” - I seem to remember enjoying it.

Norm MacDonald deserves legendary status 🤣

They're basically just torturing him.

BOB.

💥PROPAGANDA MAXXING: CBC frames an asylum seeker’s attempted beheading in Belfast as a “one-off,” victimizes immigrants, labels white people violent, and pushes internet censorship — just because Elon Musk retweeted Tommy Robinson—and the motive for the attempted honour killing is still unknown.

England has no king; Albion cries out for a true king to come again, but England has no king.

This is Sumela Monastery, one of the oldest in the Christian world. Carved into a cliff in northern Turkey in AD 386, it has clung to this rock face for more than 1,600 years. It’s older than the fall of the Roman Empire.

ID the kids and send the parents a bill.

"Goodarzi" is an Iranian name. I don't think it's a coincidence that as foreigners have taken over major corporations, the firing of Americans accelerates. They view America itself as a bazaar and workers as interchangeable economic units. No loyalty to anything.

Europeans discovering America is some of the best content of the internet right now:

If there was a monkey that accumulated millions of bananas and then gave them all away to unrelated monkeys and none to their children, scientists would study that monkey to find out what the hell is wrong with it.

Tim Hortons latest “we’re hiring” ad. What do you notice? They are trying so hard to fix their brand. It’s not going to work. They lost me as a customer long ago.

How your neighbour’s teenage son who you’ve hired to do odd jobs around the house over the summer looks at you when you hand him his first beer and tell him that neither of you have to tell anyone ANYTHING that goes on at your house

“If the soldiers who stormed the beaches of Normandy could see England as it is today, they wouldn’t have gone 40 yards up that beach.” — David Irving

The academic death spiral is something to behold. Demographics are steadily reducing the size of the student body, squeezing finances and driving bankruptcies. At the same time, standards collapse is destroying the quality of the students the universities admit. We're already at the point where it's common knowledge that a degree signals essentially nothing about intellectual ability. AI is exacerbating this, since cheating is so easy now. Kids are already starting to forgo university, since they don't think the cost of the credential is justified. That cuts even more deeply into the number of students universities can attract. Universities respond by reducing standards even further (thereby accelerating brand destruction), by reducing tuition (which cuts even more deeply into budgets), and by firing professors in low-enrollment majors (reducing program variety, especially in the small seminars that are generally the most rewarding experiences for students).
