Ah, Monday, our old enemy. We meet again at last. Actually, this day just exists to remind us how short the weekends are, and how little time there is to rest and recover from the travails of the previous week. Certainly I could have used an extra three or four hours of time to goof off and listen to geopolitics broadcasts, but sadly, that was not to be. And, if you happen to live in the northern hemisphere, the fact that it is winter, and therefore the days are very cold and very, very short, does not help matters.
Of course, all the whingeing in the world will not help the situation – besides, we really ought to leave ingratitude and whining to Harry the Ginger Whinger and his wife, Duchess Caringslut the Half-Blood Princess, they’re much better at it. We shall get on with CRUSHING IT.
And there is no better way to do that than by unpacking yet another instalment of the Great Mondaydact Browser Crusher.
This week, we look at one of the best and worst movies of all time, depending on how you think about films. That would be James Cameron‘s Avatar, which was simultaneously mind-bending in its brilliant visuals and spectacular effects and mind-numbing in its sheer idiocy, bland plot, generic characters, and completely predictable outcome.
Let us remind ourselves of just how silly that film was, with CinemaSins:
Our drunken Scotch helps remind us why it was such a brilliant yet stupid film:
We do this, of course, because Avatar 2 will soon be in theatres – if it isn’t already – and there is a real worry that it might flop:
Those worries are real, but it is quite likely that this will turn out to be a huge hit – Chris Gore offers his take on the film, and says that it is amazingly stupid and ridiculous, and yet he can’t wait to go see it again:
He also points out that this is one of the only really family-friendly films out there right now – anything from the House of the Devil Mouse is corrupt and evil to the point of outright Satanry, and he would not trust Disney anymore to make a film that he can watch with his kids.
It is depressing to think that the only reason this film might succeed, is because everything else is so shit, but that is the world we live in right now.

The Male Brain was busy tlasthis week with a personal trip, but he still put together plenty of great stuff to keep us entertained on a Monday. We start with NFKRZ‘s review of the film adaptation of Superman: Red Son, which – I can attest personally – is actually quite good:
The original comic, on which this is based, is excellent, though the “loop” involved at the end is a bit weird – you have to read it to understand what I’m on about.

The dynamic duo over at Redacted really engage everyone’s giggle reflex – and then seriously push the gag reflex – by talking about how a really weirdo doctor with a really hilarious name is turning Vs into Ps:
It’s both absolutely ridiculous, and totally horrifying. This sort of shit should be completely against the law. I’m telling you right now, the day WILL come when the wokesters will be IMPALED ON SPIKES – and people like me, who have been warning about such things for YEARS, will not stand by to do one damned thing to stop them.
They also did a story on one of the worst abuses of power you will ever see – the case of Baby Will in Kiwiland:
Where is Madame Guillotine when you actually need her?!?!

Reading Too Much Into Things
Your “Science is F***ING WEIRD” moment of the week is from Dawn Pine, and concerns a new type of cyberattack that targets antivirus software – sort of like the computer version of what AIDS (supposedly) does to the human immune system:
Yair says that to trigger the issue on vulnerable systems he first created a malicious file โ using the permissions of an unprivileged user โ so the EDR would detect and attempt to delete the file. He then found a way to force the EDR to postpone deletion until after reboot, by keeping the malicious file open. His next step was to create a C:\TEMP\ directory on the system, make it a junction to a different directory, and rig things so that when the EDR product attempted to delete the malicious file โ after reboot โ it followed a path to a different file altogether. Yair found he could use the same trick to delete multiple files in different places on a computer by creating one directory shortcut and putting specially crafted paths to targeted files within it, for the EDR product to follow.
Yair says that with some of the tested EDR products, he was not able to do arbitrary file deletion but was able to delete entire folders instead.
The vulnerability affects EDR tools that postpone deletion of malicious files till after a system reboots. In these instances, the EDR product stores the path to the malicious file in some location โ that varies by vendor โ and uses the path to delete the file after rebooting. Yair says some EDR products don’t check if the path to the malicious file leads to the same place after reboot, giving attackers a way to stick a sudden shortcut in the middle of the path. Such vulnerabilities fall into a class known as Time of Check Time of Use (TOCTOU) vulnerabilities, he notes.
Yair says that in most cases, organizations can recover deleted files. So, getting an EDR to delete files on a system by itself, while bad, isn’t the worst case. “A deletion is not exactly a wipe,” Yair says. To achieve that, Yair designed Aikido so it would overwrite files it had deleted, making them unrecoverable as well.
Your long read of the week is by Mike Whitney, who looks at the revelations of the Twitter Files and what they mean for all of us:
The implication is clear, the government and its agencies are now working hand-in-hand with the social media companies in an effort to shape narratives so they align with the political agenda of the people in power. This is a war on ordinary people who depend on the free flow of information to make informed decisions on matters critical to their own survival. The greatest proponent of that war on free speech is the government itself which is progressively merging with the social media companies in order to control what people say, hear and think. Naturally, the moneyed interests behind the politicians and deep state operatives, take great interest in the outcome of this struggle. There has always been a significant group of elites in America who believe that individual freedom must be sacrificed to create a more orderly society. The relentless attack on free speech suggests that this element now has the upper hand and will use it to their own advantage.
And further:
The response of Twitterโs executives to the Hunter Biden laptop story can lure one into thinking that that it was an โisolated incidentโ that probably wonโt happen again. But that misses the point entirely. What we are seeing is the installation of a new security infrastructure that is explicitly aimed at preventing the free exchange of ideas. The government has gone to great lengths to implement this repressive system, mainly because, among elites, there is nearly-universal support for rolling back the First Amendment and impeding the uninhibited circulation of ideas, viewpoints and critical analysis. All of these pose a significant threat to the political agenda of the people in power. They donโt want to deal with that, which is why they have dispatched their lackeys at the FBI and the other agencies to use their coercive influence to persuade honchos at the social media companies to censor those journalists, critics or dissidents who veer from the โofficial narrativeโ or who dare to expose truths that they do not want exposed.
Bottom line: All the pieces are being put in place to ensure that free speech wonโt survive the decade. The Twitter Files help us to see what is going on, but they do not provide a plan for fighting back.
Linkage is good for you:
- Helmholtz Smith reckons that Mutti Merkel’s recent statements about the true purpose of the Minsk Agreements simply exposes the total lack of trustworthiness and cowardice of the Western elites;
- Bernhard from Moon of Alabama provides a contrasting viewpoint in which he argues that Merkel’s statements must be viewed in the context of the immense pressures placed on her reputation at the present time;
- Andrei Rayevsky is bemused by the idiotic behaviour of Ukrainian representatives at Versailles-on-the-Potomac, and also offers his (not entirely correct, in my view) thoughts on Yngwie Malmsteen;
- Andrei Martyanov unpacks the Neo-Tsar’s recent musings about Russia adopting American-style pre-emptive strikes;
- Another one from Mike Whitney about how the Neo-Tsar very sensibly refuses to be provoked by the insane Washington elites into doing something stupid, and instead sticks to his very effective plans;
- Olga Sukharevskaya documents the long and extremely graphic list of Ukrainian war crimes in Donbass and elsewhere, and notes the hideous Western double-standard concerning the Ukronazis;
- Larry Johnson examines the Viktor Bout prisoner swap and reckons there is a lot more to the story than we are being told, which makes a good deal of sense to me;
- Fyodor Lyukanov wonders whether America has learned anything useful from the profound changes that have taken place over the last generation in the Middle East (spoiler alert: NO);
- The great Dr. Ron Paul is every bit as sceptical about Brolon as I am, but he is willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, since Brolon has done quite a lot to expose the war on free expression in Amerikhastan;
- The Commandant of the Marine Corps thinks the not-vaxx has a lot to do with collapsing recruitment numbers – unfortunately, he then goes full potato and comes to exactly the WRONG conclusion about it;
- Paul Craig Roberts is deeply pessimistic about the survival of the American Republic, as liberal fascism replaces it at an increasingly frantic pace;
- Our Beloved and Dreaded Supreme Dark Lord (PBUH) Voxemort the Most Malevolent and Terrible advises a young Australian Gamma about how he can accelerate his transformation out of Gammatude;
- While on the subject of Gammas, Andrew Anglin looks at the collapse of the Crazy Christ’s world as he goes even more nuts now that his daughter is apparently dating Tater Tots Top G from the Slap-a-Ho tribe;
- Louise Perry writes a guest post for John C. Wright, in which she explains how the Sexual Revolution has been an utter disaster for women, and how we might go about correcting the failures;
- China is, indeed, abandoning the worst of its really idiotic zero-COVID policies after mass protests around the country – proving, yet again, that stereotypes about the CPC are simply not correct;
- India is looking to become a nuclear energy power in the near future, and about time too – hopefully that will do something for the country’s APPALLING air quality;
- James Thompson explains briefly that the Dunning-Krueger effect isn’t quite as real once you correct for “regression to the mean”, which is sad but also interesting;
- This story about a German politician who left his mannish-lesbian-looking partner of 16 years for a former PR0N star with gigantic double-G breasts really has something for everyone – a true love story for the ages;
- And now the flip side of that – growing up in the Playboy Mansion turns out to be incredibly destructive and harmful to a woman, which comes as zero surprise to anyone with half a brain;
- A small city in Britain is looking to begin its own “climate lockdowns” – at this point, we really need to start thinking of conspiracy theories as spoiler alerts;
- The UFC might just have a serious fight-fixing problem, which is only now coming to light – we’ll see what happens, though I find the idea hard to believe, given that you can’t really fake injuries so easily in the Octagon;
And some more from Dawn Pine:
- At this point, is ANYONE surprised by the fact that the Biden campaign colluded with Twatter to suppress the Laptop From Hell story?;
- A dating expert offers some actually useful advice to women – colour us shocked, it’s not often you run into one of those;
- A complete lunatic of a “mother” allegedly put her dead daughter in a concrete block – Mother of the Year nominee, this one;
- Proof positive that the LGBTQWTFISTHISSHIT lifestyle makes you go insane – a former “drag queen” lives with 11 hogs that sleep in his bed;
- Also, butt-buggering fairies have to deal with the “friend zone” too, which is kind of hilarious;
- Despite the ongoing collapse of many crypto projects and blockchains, Bitcoin still has a lot of strong advocates (I’m actually one of them) who think highly of it, and one argues it will climb in the near future – thanks to women;
- Clownipornia’s zero-Coof strategery is going swimmingly, we see;
- Clownipornia Man clearly wants to one-up Floriduh Man for craziest antics ever, by shooting dead a neighbour’s dog that chased a squirrel into his yard – bit of an overreaction, perhaps?;
- There is a long list of complete f**k-ups who ought to be fired for their mishandling of the Hunter Biden case – let’s start with the intel officials who completely dropped the ball;
- A group of enterprising wags decided to screw with the Norks a bit by sending them USB flash drives loaded with hit Western movies, like Top Gun and Titanic – though the latter might incite them to violence, given the AWFUL acting;
- The Chinese just opened up a police station to spy on Israel, which is like something out of a bad Spy vs Spy storyline;
- Indonesia has just banned premarital boning, which isn’t actually a problem for an Islamic nation if you know anything about the concept of nikah or muta marriage – go look it up;
- A Brazilian man, who is either an overachiever or a severe masochist, claims to be married to 9 women, and wants to get all the way to a perfect 10, but one of his “wives” is not down with it;
- Your “Only In India” story – a man swallows 1.5Kg worth of coins and had to get surgery to remove them all from his guts;
- You really have to give these illegal invaders some credit for ingenuity – they forced a plane to land in Spain by faking an impending childbirth, and then escaped into the country;
MUH RUSHIAN KAHLOOOOOZHUN!!!
The Neo-Tsar gives his thoughts on Merkel’s astoundingly ill-advised and disastrous set of interviews in which she tried to justify her actions in crafting the 2015 Minsk agreements – and then failing to enforce or live up to them:
Those Who Fail To Learn From History…
History lessons of the week – this documentary is a very interesting counterpoint to the documentary, Patterns of Evidence: Exodus, and argues strongly for the “late-dating” of the Exodus from Egypt:

Meme Warfare
Our man The Male Brain was in Germany last week, for personal reasons, so he came up with some great memes about the Krauts:
Also – the “First Reich” was not German, and mostly existed by name
(Never, EVER, show up late to a date with a Krautlady if you want to get some.)
(Yiddish is also immensely good fun to use when swearing at people. Jus’ sayin’.)
(When German manufacturing meets Japanese anime, VERY STRANGE THINGS HAPPEN. Just look at Girls Unz Panzer.)
Onward:
Let’s get serious for a moment:
Headlines of the week indicate Floriduh Man is keen on a job as a mall Rent-a-Cop:
Your “Punctuation, Matters Dammit!!!” moment of the week:
The joke there is that the Friscans originally voted to allow robots to kill people. So they voted to cancel robot killing machines, not robot-killing machines.
Your “Bruce is Bruce” moment of the week:
That’s a reference to that classic Monty Python “Bruce” sketch.
While we’re on the subject of things that never go out of season:

And also your animals are absolute DICKS moment of the week, to balance things out:
And finally, your “Meanwhile, in Russia” moment of the week:
Yes, the Russian troops in former Ukraine really did adopt a trash panda, and yes, they really do carry it everywhere and feed it. Many of my American readers are getting itchy trigger fingers just from looking at that adorable little plague-carrier. The cute little bastard even has Telegram channels, PLURAL, dedicated to his daily doings.

Finally, here’s your shot of Instathot to get Monday off to a suitably silly start. This here is Ekaterina Gruzhvinskaya (ะะบะฐัะตัะธะฝะฐ ะััะถะฒะธะฝัะบะฐั), age 27 from the city of Nevinnomyssk, a place of about 120,000 residents in Stavropol region of southern Russia. She is famous primarily for being famous – which is to say, she was a reality TV star in something called Dom-2, kind of like Russia’s version of Big Brother. Y’know, the TV show where a bunch of irrelevant people agree to live in a fishbowl for the cameras, and it turns out to be really incredibly boring, or so I’m told. (Keep in mind, I don’t watch realitard TV.)
She is, as you can probably tell, QUITE artificial. Apparently, she was quite pretty before she got “augmented”. Fathers, make sure your daughters understand this – plastic surgery DOES NOT make them look good.
OK, boys, tongues off the floor and back to work.

Thanks for all the work finding these gems.
You know it’s a quality Monday when 28 of the video embeds are blocked by my corporate VPN for being too awesome.
