Who?

It seems some non-entities have take a ten minute space flight, and now some other non-entities are talking about it
Emily Ratajkowski furiously accuses Blue Origin of ‘destroying the planet’ after all-female space mission
Who?
*Googles Emily Ratatouille*
Seems she's an American model and actress. Well those are ten-a-penny these days
The Blue Origin rocket made the trip on Monday with its all-female team, which included Katy Perry, Lauren Sánchez, Gayle King, former NASA rocket scientist Aisha Bowe, civil rights activist Amanda Nguyen, and film producer Kerianne Flynn. 
Wow! Don't fancy yours much. Five more non-entities and one rocket scientist
The craft flew through space for around four minutes before floating back down to Earth, with the entire journey taking a little over 10 minutes.
That's some 'mission'
Hours later, Ratajkowski shared her thoughts about the mission in a TikTok video, criticizing the praise and support Blue Origin has received for this trip.

“That space mission this morning, that’s end time s***. Like this is beyond parody,” she said. “That you care about Mother Earth and it’s about Mother Earth, and you’re going up in a spaceship that is built and paid for by a company that’s single-handedly destroying the planet?”
Sounds like something some Tik Tok botherer would say. Beats me how it's news though. I remember slow news days when I was younger, but modern news seems to have stopped and put the kettle on
 
Do you want to see a picture of the collagen lipped monstrosity?
 
 
 
You do?
 
 
 
Really?
 
 
 
Ok then
 
 
 

 Looks like your average Tik Tok botherer, too

In a big blow for woke nonsense, it seems our high court has ruled that women are in fact, women, and not men in dresses
Gender critical campaigners win at UK supreme court over definition of woman
Of course The Gurdian healdine calls them 'Gender Critical Campaigners', and not women with genuine concerns about an invasion of their own spaces by nutters 
Critics of equal rights for transgender women have won their supreme court challenge over the definition of a woman.
And, 'Critics of equal rights for transgender women', not women who want their rights protecting from men who are trying to take them away
It could have far wider ramifications by leading to much greater restrictions on the rights of transgender women to use services and spaces reserved for women
Spaces reserved for women are reserved for women, not men with a knickers fetish. Well they are now, anyway
And of course, as with most Guardian articles, the comments are turned off
 
Prepare for a general wailing and gnashing of teeth from the woke brigade who don't understand biology
And appeals. Can you appeal against a supreme court decision, or is that final? I don't know

Take The Metro

The Metro is a 'news' outlet that keeps cropping up on  my MSM feed. It's got it's own website, but it never seems like a real newspaper, and always has a serious bias towards transgender issues
It's like a reverse Onion or Daily Mash
 
Take this for example:
Fencer who refused to face transgender athlete criticised for taking a knee in protest 
I've seen this story a LOT, in the past couple of days, but I've yet to see any criticism of this woman until now. Maybe I'm just getting my news from the wrong sources...
Redmond Sullivan’s team have defended the transgender athlete’s participation at a recent fencing event while condemning the behaviour of her opponent, who took a knee in protest.
Then his team are woke idiots. Or they just fancy having a man on their side to guarantee some wins
Just as the match was about to start, Stephanie Turner, 31, refused to compete, dropping down to one knee, and was shown a black card for bad behaviour or unsporting conduct.
The only unsporting conduct I see here, is a male cheating at sport to take prizes from women 
Speaking after her disqualification, Turner refused to acknowledge Sullivan as a transgender person, claiming ‘this is a man’ and using male pronouns.
Good for her. Speaking the truth. This is a man, and everyone can see it. Denying reality, does not change it
‘I saw that I was going to be in a pool with [Sullivan], and from there I said, ‘OK, let’s do it. I’m going to take the knee’,’ Turner said. ‘I knew what I had to do because USA Fencing had not been listening to women’s objections. 
I don't really understand 'taking the knee', but refusing to participate against a male opponent was the right thing to do, and more women should be doing it until the message is received
‘I took a knee immediately at that point. [Sullivan] was under the impression I was going to start fencing. So when I took the knee, I looked at the ref and I said, ‘I’m sorry, I cannot do this. I am a woman, and this is a man, and this is a women’s tournament. And I will not fence this individual’.
*Applause* 
In a short statement, Sullivan’s team, Iconic Fencing Club, stressed that their 20-year-old competitor had complied with ‘every rule’ and had ‘every right’ to take part in the event.

‘Red has followed every rule and guideline set forth by the FIE (the international fencing governing organisation) and USA Fencing (the national organisation),’ Iconic Fencing Club told the Daily Express US.
Rules can be changed, and if this man is within the rules to compete in a womens event, they need to be. And now 
"We're inclusive and respectful to anyone who buys into the lies. If you disagree, you're excluded. To maintain inclusivity"
Former United States footballer Megan Rapinoe last month labelled Trump’s executive order banning transgender athletes from women’s sports as ‘cruel and depraved’.
I'm glad she's 'former', she was the worst of the woke brigade. I would imagine normal people would describe facing males against females in contact sports as cruel and depraved, not insisiting men compete in their own category
 
The is a statement from USA Fencing, which rambles on for a lobg time, but it's all:
 expand access to the sport
 create inclusive, safe spaces.
 everyone should have the ability to participate
 equity and inclusion 
 err on the side of inclusion
 respect the viewpoints on all sides
 engage in this dialogue
 respectful discussion
 committed to inclusivity
 
It's pure doublespeak. And if you disagree, no inclusivity for you!
 Women’s tennis legend Martina Navratilova has slammed USA Fencing over their call to disqualify Turner from the Cherry Blossom tournament.

‘This is what happens when female athletes protest!’ the nine-time Wimbledon singles champion posted on X. ‘Anyone here still thinks this is fair??? I am fuming… and shame on @USAFencing, shame on you for doing this. How dare you throw women under the gender bulls— bus!!!’
That's more like it
And to put the icing on the article's cake:
 

The Metro is just a propaganda rag for men in dresses
 
The world needs less Metro and more JK Rowling
 

 

A home without a cat is just a house

Sad times at Moose Meadows. The last of our cats passed away this afternoon

She started having breathing difficulties in the week, so we took her to the vets. Fluid on the lungs. The vet told us that for a small fortune and a stay in the cat hospital, they could find out what was the cause, but in all likelyhood, they wouldn't be able to treat it.
 
If they'd quoted us a grand and said they could definately get her back on the road again, we'd have done it, but we didn't want her last couple of days to be the stress of cat hospital and tests, so we made the tearful decision to let her go
 
I don't envy the job those vets do. It must be quite rewarding being able to help animals, but also very stressful to be doing this all the time. For that I thank them
 
I don't expect life to be fair. That shit is for children and socialists, but when it comes to little critters like that who don't understand, I sometimes think life could be a bit fairer. It's not the wild and natural selection and stuff, cats and dogs are members of the family. You should nevr outlive a child, but you'll always outlive a pet
 
We'll miss the bits of cat litter being dragged through the house, and the pukes on the carpet, along of course, with the 16 years of unconditional love from a very happy cat 

The house is going to feel quite empty now
 
Appolgies for any spelling mistakes and waffling, but I've been raising a few scoops for Scrappy
 
And for all you out there who have lost a beloved little pest 

It sucks big time. Bottoms up

May I make a suggestion?

I seems the Government is having some more 'chaos'
Chaos in asylum system as Home Office sacks firm putting migrants in hotels
Oh dear
The Home Office has sacked one of the firms responsible for putting asylum seekers in hotels after raising "concerns". The Government employs private contractors to find housing for asylum seekers but, in a sign of the continuing chaos in the UK's immigration, the Home Office announced it was ending its contract with Stay Belvedere Hotels. The firm houses people waiting for asylum decisions in 51 hotels in England and Wales, as well as the Napier Barracks in Folkestone, Kent.
So the Government probably needs another company to step in and take up the slack
 
May I suggest British Airways?

Phoooone Hoooome (Or just please go there)

Illegal aliens who can't phone home, can now stay in the UK
Migrant avoids deportation because he lost his phone
Have a think about what possible reason a judge could give for allowing an illegal to remain in the country, because they lost their phone. I got nothing
 
So let's take a look through the crazy window:
An illegal Iraqi migrant who fled his home country over his part in an alleged exam fraud has avoided deportation after claiming a people smuggler threw away his ID and phone.

The man fled Iraq after being threatened with arrest for the alleged fraud when he was caught on CCTV delivering test papers to an address a day before students were due to sit for the qualification.
He left Iraq because the local fuzz were after him. No fleeing war, or poverty, or persecution, but fleeing the Iraqi Old Bill, who were hot on his tail after he comitted a crime 
He claimed that an “agent” who facilitated his passage to the UK had not only thrown away his ID documents but also made him get rid of his phone, on which he had his family’s numbers.
Maybe there's a reason they do that? And maybe it's all working as planned? 
The Iraqi, who was granted anonymity, told an immigration tribunal that he could not remember the telephone numbers for his family, which meant he could not get their help to replace his lost ID card.
Not lost, thrown away. And how is any of this our problem?
Iraqis cannot safely return to their home country without such ID documents because of the risks of arrest and interrogation, as well as preventing them travelling cross-country through checkpoints.
If you enter Iraq without ID, you get arrested and interrogated? But you do so in England and they bloody let you stay 
Fearing that he would be framed for fraud, the Iraqi student sought shelter with a human rights group, Ashti, before fleeing to the UK.
Why the UK, I wonder? 

There are so many countries directly between Iraq and the UK, not counting all the other countries in other directions, that are closer than ours
Could it be we're the only ones likely to put up with his shit, fall for his sob story and give him a huge pile of cash for the inconvenience? 

He didn't come to England becuase he has family here. They're back home and he can't call them because his phone is in the sea, although I bet he quickly finds a way to contact them and bring them here once his assylum application is granted
He didn't flee Iraq because of war or persecution, but because he got involved in some shady stuff and was going to get in trouble 

Why are we even indulging this man with courts and judges? The only people he should be interacting with are cabin crew, wishing him a pleasant flight to Baghdad
