Now things are getting into the summertime social season. We have two family parties this weekend and then Fourth of July and on and on. This afternoon Camera Girl spotted a big painted turtle on the grass. Turns out it was laying eggs so being the natural historian that she is she collected them and is incubating them in a sphagnum moss set up. Apparently, they’ll be a science experiment for Princess Sack of Potatoes and then they be released back into the swamp to maintain the delicate balance between the mold and the mildew that we all depend on here in Dunwich.

I spent some more time struggling with the great GA4 project. Half of the websites and YouTube videos are people cussing about how much worse it is than its predecessor. Well, what can you do?
I read a bunch of critiques of the SCOTUS decision on affirmative action. Even the Z-Man’s Friday podcast was about it. I think they mostly reflect the feeling that this will be like pulling teeth to get the colleges to obey the law on this. But my way of looking at it is it’s a starting point for the red state governments to force the colleges in their jurisdictions to obey. None of the Ivy League schools will. Their state governments will work with them to ignore the Supreme Court using obfuscation. Well, let them. I went to a state college and they could teach science and engineering the same as Harvard and Yale. Maybe better. No dirt people are going to get in the Ivy League schools so who cares anyway.
The other interesting case was the Supreme Court once again overruling Colorado in its insistence that people working in the wedding industry must celebrate same sex marriages. That poor wedding cake baker had the Supreme Court find in his favor and then Colorado brought another case against him, this time over some trans-nonsense. I predict Colorado will continue to harass this other woman who builds websites and doesn’t want to build a gay themed one. They’ll find some other trumped-up case, slightly different, and go after her again. But as I said these rulings reinforce the standing in the red states and if we can hold the Supreme Court for a while, they will provide the basis for restoring the social fabric in the red states. After we lose the Court, it’ll take brains and guts to tell the feds to pound sand. Let’s hope we find men who have those attributes when we need them.
It was kind of amusing reading and watching the various lefties running around in circles screaming about the affirmative action case. There was one video with Joy Reid castigating Justice Thomas. Now I consider Joy Reid to be one of the stupidest people on God’s green Earth. The fact that she also graduated from Harvard is conclusive proof that this rejection of affirmative action for college admissions is absolutely necessary. If she was admitted, a virtual cretin, to the premiere university of the United States then obviously there is no objective criterion for their admissions. In the video she goes on and on speculating on how Clarence Thomas must have some kind of deep-seated self-hatred that forces him to wreak vengeance upon black people. If there were any objective standards in this country, instead of Harvard she should have been sent to a group home where she could have performed chores she might be suited for, like filling sacks with sand or scrubbing toilets. Now the unlucky viewers of MSNBC have to watch her on the screen making absurd claims about talented and serious people. Maybe someday when MSNBC closes down, she’ll find her rightful place in society as a dunk tank clown.
So, all in all, it was an interesting day. I will be spending considerable time at these various family gatherings on Saturday and Sunday but I’ll do my best to provide some content for the faithful. Enjoy your weekend.
