Animals
Maybe it's worth trying to spot-train a cow, after all. Reportedly, about two thirds of calves studied were able to learn to go to a special section of the barn, where their effluvia could be collected without over-fertilizing soil. (Of course, keeping cows in healthier, less greedhead conditions eliminates that whole problem...) First you'd have to build a cow-sized latrine, then you'd have to have a place to burn the biomass it would collect...but what a 4-H project!
(Image from Joe Jackson. The study cited was in Cell.com's Current Biology:
Not the most prestigious of the science journals, and also it suits some land grabbers' political agenda to continue to believe that keeping cows can only be done in ways that harm the environment. I can see why this study has not received more attention.)
Comedy
I saw it on X, and I didn't get it. While the White House's official Halloween decor had a theme only the Trumps would find scary (it showed images of the President and First Lady actually working at McDonald's), J.D. Vance's official costume consisted of a frizzly wig. I thought, "So, you're going as a man who has more to think about than a real costume. Nice." I don't see enough left-wing memes. It had to be explained to me why Vance's costume was a great moment in the history of comedy.
Obituary
I think I still have a copy of GRITS (Girls Raised in the South) but I didn't know that Kingsport was among the places where its author had lived--much less that she'd be remembered as the perfect old school friend.
Male Irrationality, Latest Displays of
See the baby boys kicking and screaming on the floor! Women who aspire to be social media "influencers" are warning each other, "Don't get a boyfriend."
I want to be very clear about this--I'm not recommending that The Nephews consider boyfriends for men or girlfriends to be women to be, in any way, more liberating than the more conventional alternative.
I'm recommending that they consider what has always worked for Christians: celibacy unless and until they believe they are called to marriage. And until people have spent a few years living as full adults, making their own decisions about ethics, politics, money, etc., they're not ready for marriage; they may be lovable, but there's no real way to predict whether they'll become Partners for Life. While building your own careers and adult identities, you need to keep your bodies under, your sexuality on hold. You don't deserve to be either unwed fathers or unwed mothers. Build and feather your nests before you start laying.
One thing women can safely say: If his anger about not being able to enjoy all the benefits of marriage while keeping his own options (to marry someone richer) wide open, as a late-twentieth-century-type "boyfriend," shakes ugly, misogynist fantasies out of him...HE IS SICK. No woman should ever touch a man who is not fully committed to equal civil rights for women. If, for instance, he's not enthusiastic about requiring the widows and orphans of the Hamas terrorists to kick their carcasses into a pit and spit on them, don't shake his hand. If he's not clear about who, if anybody, needs to be kept at home to keep young women "safe" from rape, don't dance with him. Boys who aren't emotionally capable of being partners for fully liberated women should spend their nights at home with their inflatable dolls. Men who are capable of being Partners for Life deserve wives who have not been used and abused by sick puppies. So by all means, let them vent their spleen at fora like this one, and then find out who they are (for one who's able to type out these thoughts there are probably fifty who aren't) and make sure their "girlfriends" are the kind they can legitimately buy in stores and keep in their closets.
Politics
This is what we mean when we say "Virginian": Republican incumbent Winsome Earle-Sears could count on some votes if the food-stamp-dependent sector of the population woke up thinking, "I get no breakfast because the Democrats are using people like me to make a political statement...and this is the day I get to vote the dirty rats out." Nothing makes the fingers itch for a ballot like missing breakfast. But this is not the way we win in Virginia. So the food-stamp-dependent sector of the population WILL have their breakfast on election day, courtesy of the Commonwealth, thanks to Governor Youngkin and future Governor Sears.
Have you put together your TV-worthy outfit to wear to the polls yet?
Of course, Virginia can't really afford this gesture, and the gesture may not be necessary. Larry Elder reported this on X:
The food-stamp-dependent sector may have Trump to thank, rather than Sears.
In any case, the food-stamp-dependent sector MUST be reduced. We need more makers and fewer takers.
