Good Lord, what a horrible day Monday is. It is especially horrible when you’re up against a tight deadline and you have a redonkulous amount of work to do on a major report. And that doesn’t give you a break from all of the other stuff that you have to do in order to go about a kind-of-sort-of-normal-if-you-squint-really-hard life. Y’know the routine shit, like brushing your teeth, shaving, showering, cooking food so that you don’t die from eating carb-laden crap – that sort of thing.

Fortunately, all of that has finally been completed, and dealing with it is now someone else’s problem, to my intense relief, and I can now turn my attention to the all-important Great Mondaydact Browser Smasher.

Let’s get started with something topical. See, Facebook and Instagram essentially went offline for all of Russia today, because Meta, the parent company of these social media platforms, endorsed “hate speech” toward Russians. This is just the latest round of Two Minutes Hate (or in this case, Two Dozen Years Hate) directed toward “those dirty Commie snow-niggers”, as so many in the West seem to think of them.

It must be said, this isn’t exactly distressing my Russian friends and contacts very much. Here is one of the more typical Russian takes on the situation:

It’s hard to argue with that logic. To understand this, we need to understand exactly why social media is so damned dangerous:

If you are still using Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or TikTok – GET OFF THAT SHIT RIGHT NOW. Stop posting pictures of yourself online. It’s not healthy for you. Minimise your use of LinkedIn too, unless you’re actually trying to get a job – and even then, you’ll need to minimise your exposure, because so much of LinkedIn is so blatantly fake, ridiculous, and stupid, especially these days.

Social media is toxic for you. That is why the CEOs of Big Tech companies DO NOT ALLOW THEIR OWN CHILDREN TO USE THEIR PRODUCTS. They know damned well just how bad it is.

Dawn of Battle

The Male Brain has some great stuff for us this week. We start with a video from b2studios about how to train an AI algorithm to play classic board games better than you ever could:

Essential, human heuristics are the best solutions to the problems posed within Monopoly.

MinuteEarth points out that you need to get your kids the hell off their phones, and outdoors:

The classic “Treaty of Westphalia” skit from that old BBC programme:

Nobody, but NOBODY, does high comedy better than the Limeys.

History Matters explains why the Commie bastards in Grenada actually kept the Queen as their head of state, which sounds really weird until you realise that Commies always want absolute power, therefore are willing to use any tools necessary to do precisely that:

Economics Explained examines how Japan’s “lost two decades” may be a harbinger for what is to come:

If you have a bunch of pretentious art-snob friends, you could either stop being friends with them, OR listen to Wisecrack and learn how to be a pretentious art-snob yourself.

Another one from Wisecrack about our Wise and Benevolent Tech Overlords:

The Babylon Bee continues to kill it:

Poli-ticking Off

Mark Dice, for one, is certainly willing to tell the truth about the neo-Nazis within Ukraine:

---

Bill Whittle and his buddies talk a lot of smack about Big Macs no longer being available in Russia:

I’m genuinely surprised at how poorly Bill, in particular, understands Russia. He’s married to a Russian woman – quite a lovely, intelligent, gentle, and classy one, by all accounts. And yet he still doesn’t have the first clue about the reality on the ground.

Here’s a much better summary of what will likely happen to Russia with all of these stupid sanctions:

And here’s how Russian Orthodox priests are reacting to the news that Pornhub has stopped service to Russia:

And just for shits and giggles, here’s… well, see for yourself:

I sent that to one of my readers while he was in the middle of recording a very long voice message to me. The shock and cussin’ that resulted, simply made my day – because I’m an arse.

China Uncensored notes that the CCP is keeping an extremely close eye on the situation in Eastern Europe, and, like Russia, will have zero patience for a “Pacific Treaty Organisation”:

America Uncovered can’t help but notice that things are getting kind of squirrelly with the Kung Flu narrative:

Jared Taylor from American Renaissance notes that so-called “unconditional war on racism” is very unlikely to work out:

Righteous Rantery

Paul Ramsey asks a highly relevant question:

Based on what I’ve seen so far, I don’t think it is. Indeed, I think that Putin’s invasion AVERTED WWIII.

Warriors of Faith

The Dizzle really does love beating the dawahgandists like unwanted stepchildren:

---

Dr. Jay Smith from PfanderFilms and his buddy Al-Fadi continue to take a wrecking-ball to the Standard Izzlamic Narrative:

---

Al-Fadi from CIRA International and Mel from Sneaker’s Corner outline the reasons why Islam is, in fact, declining, and rapidly:

I believe that they are right. Fifteen years ago, you couldn’t criticise Islam in public, for fear of being executed. Yet, today, apostasy is a huge and ever-growing crisis within Islam. If you listen in to Christian Prince, for example, you’ll hear him dismantle Islam almost effortlessly, and pretty much every other day, some Muzzie calls him up to tell him that he or she has left the “faith”.

And that is because the “faith” itself, is FALSE.

---

And speaking of CP – here is Christian Prince doing his thing, as only he can:

---

Dr. Frank Turek from Cross Examined explains a crucial concept around God’s forgiveness:

---

Manly Men of Manliness

Terrence Popp is thoroughly unimpressed by the current generation of cannon fodder:

---

Joker from Better Bachelor shows how the founder of an “alternative” dating site proves the old adage that SIMPS GONNA SIMP:

I mean, the girl does have very nice tits, that’s for sure. But she’s going to eat that poor 55-year-old bastard alive.

Overlord Dicktor Van Doomcock continues to flog that dead horse about reviving Star Trek:

It’s dead, Jim! Just let it go.

---

Gary from Nerdrotic also reckons that LOTRROP is doomed:

---

The Drinker has a fine explanation of why the moral lessons taught by movies are so terrible these days:

He’s right. When you have a heroine (not a hero) in a movie that starts out as basically perfect, there is no struggle, no change in character, and therefore no growth. This simply is not human, and is not believable.

Reading Too Much Into Things

Your “Science is F***ING WEIRD” moment of the week is from Dawn Pine, and concerns how to build muscle:

There has been a proliferation in recent scholarly discussion regarding the scientific validity of single vs. multiple sets of resistance training (dose) to optimize muscular strength development (response). Recent meta-analytical research indicates that there exist distinct muscular adaptations, and dose-response relationships, that correspond to certain populations. It seems that training status influences the requisite doses as well as the potential magnitude of response. Specifically, for individuals seeking to experience muscular strength development beyond that of general health, an increase in resistance-training dosage must accompany increases in training experience. The purpose of this document is to analyze and apply the findings of 2 meta-analytical investigations that identified dose-response relationships for 3 populations: previously untrained, recreationally trained, and athlete; and thereby reveal distinct, quantified, dose-response trends for each population segment. Two meta-analytical investigations, consisting of 177 studies and 1,803 effect sizes (ES) were examined to extract the dose-response continuums for intensity, frequency, volume of training, and the resultant strength increases, specific to each population. ES data demonstrate unique dose-response relationships per population. For untrained individuals, maximal strength gains are elicited at a mean training intensity of 60% of 1 repetition maximum (1RM), 3 days per week, and with a mean training volume of 4 sets per muscle group. Recreationally trained nonathletes exhibit maximal strength gains with a mean training intensity of 80% of 1RM, 2 days per week, and a mean volume of 4 sets. For athlete populations, maximal strength gains are elicited at a mean training intensity of 85% of 1RM, 2 days per week, and with a mean training volume of 8 sets per muscle group. These meta-analyses demonstrate that the effort-to-benefit ratio is different for untrained, recreationally trained, and athlete populations; thus, emphasizing the necessity of appropriate exercise prescription to optimize training effect. Exercise professionals may apply these dose-response trends to prescribe appropriate, goal-oriented training programs.

tl;dr version: RIPPETOE WAS RIGHT. Yet again.

Your long read of the week is by Rolo Slavski, and concerns the possibility of a “Russian Restoration”:

The usual political formula in Russia goes something like this: Putin comes up with a plan, parts of the plan are leaked to state-aligned media where they are discussed among the political punditry, the plan is discussed and explained to the public through debate on these shows, so that the publicv become acclimated to the idea. If the reception is warm, the plan is then implemented and Putin gets his way, the pundits get to say “I called it,” and the public nods its head sagely, assured that the correct measures have been taken and that this is the only reasonable path forward. Right now, the pundits are debating the topic of “Russian Internet Sovereignty” and its implementation. I’ll leave you to connect the dots on what that means on your own.

If this description of the Russian political process comes across as overly cynical or even anti-Putin, I assure you that this is not my intention. This is simply how all mass democracies operate to some extent, and we would be naïve to think that that the West operates much differently. The key difference between the West and Russia is that the Russian authorities occasionally actually take into account public opinion and adjust their policies accordingly. But the process by which consent is manufactured among the masses, which is the bedrock of all democratic modes of government, is eternal. In the West, a political, cultural and economic elite (overwhelmingly Jewish) promotes their agenda to the masses and lobbies the politicians, who acquiesce to their demands. In the East, the state takes a more active role and even suppresses the self-styled cultural elite, who gnash their teeth and wail that it isn’t Liberal or Democratic for the state to have a mind of its own. Instead, the state uses the same methods as they would use to promote an illiberal set of ideas and political goals.

All that really matters in the end is who manufactures the consent and, of course, to what end. If Russia is serious about facing down NATO, the fifth column in the country has to be neutralized. That is why the biggest liberal media outlets have all been shut down over the last two weeks. And so, it becomes clear now why the state has turned its attention to social media. The social media platform purge will do doubt continue in the coming days and weeks, with renewed calls to create new, Russian-based platforms to take their place.

Could it happen? Sure. But conservatives and Men of the West need to remember that Russia has some serious long-term structural problems, which are NOT easy to overcome. The problems that define Russia today are not going to be solved quickly or easily. And that is before we get to some of the very serious structural flaws within Orthodox Christianity itself, which gives Roman Catholicism a serious run for its money in its emphasis on tradition and extra-Scriptural moral teachings.

One thing is for certain, in my mind: Russia is much better positioned to survive the coming tribulations than the Evil Empire, because it actively rejects the GloboHomoPaedo Pharisatanical evil that pervades and defines much of the West today.

Linkage is good for you (I’ll fix the links later):

• Bradley Blankenship notes that this entire war with Ukraine could have been avoided, if only NATO and the USA had listened to real diplomats and statesmen like George Kennan and Henry Kissinger;
• Mike Whitney has a lot of interesting things to say about the ways in which the USA has, quite happily, sponsored white trashionalists and the worst kinds of neo-Nazis for YEARS in Ukraine;
• The great Dr. Ron Paul points out that the Kung Flu hysteria has died down extraordinarily quickly now that the Hitlerest Hitler to ever Hitler across the Ukrainian Goose-Steppe has appeared on the scene;
• Pat “Mr. Paleoconservative” Buchanan is assuredly no fan of the Neo-Tsar, but
• The EUSSR reckons that it can wean itself off Russian gas quickly (nope), and in the meantime, tells its citizens not to enjoy luxuries like lighting and power and heat in their homes quite so much;
• Speaking of the disappearance of the Kung Flu, the Oirish have just dropped ALL Scamdemic restrictions, probably because they’re terrified of losing St. Paddy’s Day revenues in the beer and sawdust industries;
• Steve Sailer looks at the hard data indicating that someone like Ketanjji Brown Jackson probably didn’t get to be nominated to the SCOTUS based on raw merit;
• Theodore Dalrymple argues that women who like getting tattoos on themselves, are similar to psychopathic architects who inflict truly horrible monstrosities upon the rest of us, and I think he’s right;
• Anastasia Katz has a lady-schaedenboner from watching Juicy Smooyay go to jail for his stupidity and incompetence;
• Every time you think you have a truly horrible first-date story, a woman writes into The Daily Mirror with an even more hilariously awful one;
• The Dark Herald notes that gaming presstitutes are a particularly stupid kind of presstitute, especially when it comes to, y’know, PLAYING FRAKKIN’ GAMES;
• Scott Johnson over at Power Line is assuredly no fan of the Neo-Tsar – actually, I haven’t seen one single thing from Power Line thus far that is remotely accurate about Russia – but he has a valid point about how Biden uses Putin to lie;

And some more from Dawn Pine:

• Fake President Greenscreen McNappyFace is trying hard to negotiate with the mullahs for a new nuclear deal, and it’s probably not going to turn out any better than when Odumbass tried it – indeed, it will probably be worse;
• The Babylon Bee has an absolutely brilliant solution for fixing the current US border crisis;
• This headline from The Daily Fail about how great it is to work in the Limey Civil Service sounds like the punchline from a really bad joke – “so an ugly woman, a Gamma male, and a weirdo walk into an office…”;
• Another one from The Daily Fail that thinks that British spies are using a butt-buggerer dating app to figure out what the Neo-Tsar’s war-plans are – doesn’t look like that worked very well, to be honest;
• Clownipornia’s attempts to crack down on plastics polluting its oceans are misguided, at best – first, crack down on pollution in the body politic, then worry about pollution in the body Pacific;
• If anybody has “Clownipornia falls into the sea due to monster earthquake by 2070” for the Doomsday Bingo Pool, your chances of winning big are close to 40% and rising;
• Is anyone even remotely surprised to discover that “German” criminal gangs are turning Ukrainian refugees fleeing Banderastan into sex slaves? I’m not – I unpacked that on my Telegram channel recently;
• The Argies, at around the 40th anniversary of their extreme ass-kicking in the Falklands War, want the Limeys, who kicked their butts all over the south Atlantic, to explain something to do with nukes back then;
• It’s a bad idea to watch PR0N with your girlfriend around, but if you’re a lesbian and your mid-thirties girlfriend pours paint on you when you watch straight PR0N, then she’s nuts – and, yet again, lesbians are provably violent and abusive;
• Man of the People John Kerry has the right concern at exactly the right time;
• Non-Fungible Tokens aren’t just a potential new Tulip Mania – I think there is a serious bubble developing over there, by the way – they may also be a new and epic form of scam and a tax on the stupid and gullible;
• I’m not quite sure who’s the villain in this story about some assistant principal in Mississippi who got fired after reading a book to 2nd-graders about needing a new butt – all I can say is, it’s all kinds of stupid on every level;
• The Palestinians are, once again, causing trouble for literally everyone around them, and are getting five different antagonists involved in a total Middle Eastern fustercluck;

MUH RUSHIAN KAHLOOOOOZHUN!!!

Many of the West’s “smartest” diplomats, strategists, and intelligence officers thought that The Neo-Tsar was bluffing about keeping NATO away from Russia’s borders by force if necessary. He ABSOLUTELY wasn’t. Now the West is trying to destroy Russia with sanctions. And it just isn’t working:

Those Who Fail To Learn From History…

History lessons of the week:

---

Your Great Man of the Week is Ivan the Terrible – or, in the minds of some Russians, the Great:

I’ve been to the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, several times. (Good place to take a Russian girl on a date, by the way.) There is a particularly haunting painting in it of Ivan the Terrible (Иван Грозный), by Ilya Repin:

That picture doesn’t do it justice. You have to go there to see the horror and despair in the Tsar’s eyes.

This, by the way, is the culture that the West seeks to destroy – a culture that has produced some of the greatest works of art, music, literature, and poetry in human history. This is what Western governments daemonise. And this is why they will fail.

HALO Nation

HiddenXperia offers up his thoughts about the forthcoming HALO TV series:

I have very low expectations for this. It will be a big-budget “revision” of HALO canon and lore, in the name of MUH DUVERSUHTEEEEEEEEZ!!! and STRAWNG INDEPENDENT WAMMENZES!!! and WE WUZ SPURTANS ‘N’ SHIET!!!.

Spare me. I’ll happily rip this off by sailing the high seas instead.

Now let’s watch slayergod Mint Blitz do his thing:

Hot Totty

Right, after much ado about not very much, here’s your Instathot to get the week off to the right start. This here is Maria Vishneskayа (Мария Вишневская), in her early 20s, probably from Kiev, in Ukraine, and most likely not living there at the moment – or at least, I certainly hope she isn’t. Nothing much else to say about her, other than that she has my favourite eye colour – grey.

That’s it, boys, onward and downward we go.
