Mickey Mouse Goes Woke
…and the customers won’t like it.
The Woke Religion
How to respond to it.
Just say “No.”
Saturday-Night Live
Is Elon too funny to guest host? We’ll find out. It may be the first time I’ve bothered to watch it in years.
Space Force
Matthew Jenkins writes that it needs better PR.
You Don’t Say
Elon says that a bunch of people will die going to Mars.
I don’t know if he’s read it, but I gave him a copy of the book (via Gwynne) when it came out.
Mad Magazine
And Samantha Bee is wrong about comedy.
Big Business
Why it loves Black Lives Matter, and woke politics in general:
Woke politics has also been useful for firms hiding all kinds of unsavoury practices. Many firms will proclaim allegiance to BLM one day, while lobbying against curbs on forced labour the next, for instance. Indeed, whether you take the Marxist view, that all firms in a capitalist system exploit labour anyway, or the Adam Smith view, that sellers in a marketplace act out of self-interest rather than kindness, it is surely hard to take any company’s proclamations of righteousness too seriously.
This reminds me of how “feminist” men use their wokeism to attempt to insulate themselves from their abuse of women, like when Harvey Weinstein went to war with the NRA to deflect from his predatory behavior toward starlets.

Big Tech, Big Law, And Big Woke are banding together for a political realignment.
Kong Versus Godzilla
If you like watching a big ape (not “monkey”) punching a big lizard (and vice versa), does Sonny Bunch have a movie for you.
But notwithstanding the quality of the flick itself, I have to dispute his characterization of his home theater as “decent enough.” A soundbar is easy, but it’s not home theater. I’ve put in 5.1 surround sound, with a Polkaudio subwoofer, and that is close enough to theater quality for me to watch at home. To me the big difference between home and theater is screen size, even with our own 65″. It’s much more immersive when you can’t see much of anything except screen.
The Current Politicocultural DIsaster
Heinlein saw it coming six decades ago.
[Thursday-afternoon update]
Yes, our “elites” do seem to want a racial apocalypse.
