It was such a nice weekend – what the hell HAPPENED to it?!?!?! There I was, tinkering around with getting HALO: The Master Chief Collection to get it to run on my Linux Mint distribution, via Steam and ProtonDB (preliminary report: it does work with Proton Experimental and some extra code parameters, but HALO: Spartan Ops lags worse than a fat spaniel), and enjoying the sunshine. And now, it’s Monday again…

Fortunately, the Great Mondaydact Browser Smasher is here to make it all better. And what better way to do that, than by watching the Incredible Hulk transform?

I grew up watching the original TV show, and watching the transformation back then was TERRIFYING for 8-year-old Didacticus. This was back when practical effects were still heavily utilised, and therefore, the transformations looked REALLY convincing – but they were obviously quite a pain in the butt to shoot.

These days, of course, with CGI everything, the transformations look painfully artificial, and a lot of the fear that came from watching the Hulk transform, is all gone.

That actually brings to mind one of the most spectacular practical-effects transformations in history. Y’all know this one – the one from An American Werewolf in London. GREAT movie, truly excellent creature feature.

So, if you feel severely pissed this Monday, and want to express it… why not Hulk out?

Dawn of Battle

The Male Brain has plenty to keep us busy this day. We start with a great ad from thejuicemedia about Tasmania:

Apparently, the original version of this ad got the Tasbo government right royally PISSED something severe, because it featured the deadbeat local Chief Grand Beardy Todger, or whatever he’s called.

Poli-Ticking Off

Mark Dice examines the real reasons why Candace Owens got fired:

I have very little interest in whatever Ms Owens says, as I consider her to be no more than your typical Alt-Lite grifter. But, it is very clear that criticism of (((The Tribe))) and its implementation of a full-scale Gazacaust is no longer permitted, even among the grifter class.

Being someone who actually generally LIKES (((The Tribe))), and – unlike the ultra-nationalist crowd, which genuinely hates them – has in fact visited Israel, let me point out a simple truth:

If you Small Hats really meant it when you said, “Never Again”, then STOP DOING IT AGAIN TO OTHERS. Because, if you continue down this road, you are GUARANTEEING the rest of us will want nothing to do with you, when “Never Again”, happens AGAIN.

Rulings from the Bench

Judge Nap has had a busy week, like the rest of us. We start with DA KERNEL, as Col. Douglas Macgregor calls for an investigation into the catastrophic withdrawal from Goathumpistan 3 years ago:

Maj. Scott Ritter analyses the ongoing collapse of Banderastan, and the increasingly dangerous situation with the Gazacaust:

Also, it looks like The Judge will be heading to Russia this summer – he and Maj. Ritter will be attending this year’s St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, which promises to be a tremendous experience. I have visited SPb in June, and I promise you, that is a life-changing trip. There is no city anywhere on Earth quite like it, and June is the absolute best time to visit.

Capt. Matthew Hoh talks about the British Army’s crimes in Ireland and elsewhere:

---

Islam Critiqued looks at the rise of Izzlamist premature detonation across Europe:

This is happening because of Western weakness, not Izzlamist strength. In fact, Izzlam is weakening daily, because of the “avalanche of apostasy” their top imams keep complaining about. And that avalanche is VERY REAL. Christianity is spreading the most rapidly in Africa and the Middle East now, and with good reason, because Jesus keeps appearing in dreams to Muzzies, telling them to abandon the death-cult of Izzlam and join the True Faith.

Reading Too Much Into Things

Your Science is F***ing Weird moment of the week is from Dawn Pine, and is all about turtles – uh, I mean, DARK MATTER, all the way down:

We present simulation-based cosmological wCDM inference using Dark Energy Survey Year 3 weak-lensing maps, via neural data compression of weak-lensing map summary statistics: power spectra, peak counts, and direct map-level compression/inference with convolutional neural networks (CNN). Using simulation-based inference, also known as likelihood-free or implicit inference, we use forward-modelled mock data to estimate posterior probability distributions of unknown parameters. This approach allows all statistical assumptions and uncertainties to be propagated through the forward-modelled mock data; these include sky masks, non-Gaussian shape noise, shape measurement bias, source galaxy clustering, photometric redshift uncertainty, intrinsic galaxy alignments, non-Gaussian density fields, neutrinos, and non-linear summary statistics. We include a series of tests to validate our inference results. This paper also describes the Gower Street simulation suite: 791 full-sky PKDGRAV dark matter simulations, with cosmological model parameters sampled with a mixed active-learning strategy, from which we construct over 3000 mock DES lensing data sets. For wCDM inference, for which we allow −1<w<−13, our most constraining result uses power spectra combined with map-level (CNN) inference. Using gravitational lensing data only, this map-level combination gives Ωm=0.283+0.020−0.027, S8=0.804+0.025−0.017, and w<−0.80 (with a 68 per cent credible interval); compared to the power spectrum inference, this is more than a factor of two improvement in dark energy parameter (ΩDE,w) precision.

Hell if I know what any of that is about…

Your long read of the week is by Robert Stark, and examines the problem with Alt-Right types who are rightly repulsed by Jewish control over the globalist narratives – and have gone way too far in the other direction, to hating the state of Israel outright:

Regardless, diaspora hypocrisy is not uniquely Jewish, with the Turkish diaspora in Germany backing Erdogan in Turkey while backing open borders politicians in Germany, or Hindus in America who back Modi and Hindutva in India while protesting the per-country caps on Indian immigrants. There is also Anglo hypocrisy, such as the British being the biggest imperialists yet sanctimonious about sanctioning Apartheid South Africa. There is similar hypocrisy from the pro-Palestinian cause, such as Cenk Uygur, who is a progressive from a Muslim background and very pro-Palestinian. Cenk thinks that Jews and Palestinians should be separated and have large walls between them, which is essentially an ethnonationalist position. However, the Israeli/Jewish lobby is the most powerful ethnic lobby, though not the most powerful lobby overall.

The Alt-Right trope about Jewish/Israeli double standards is probably somewhat overblown and neglects the diversity of Jewish opinions. For instance, the many staunch Jewish critics of Israel, as well as Stephen Miller, who is probably the top immigration hawk in America, or free speech advocate, Glenn Greenwald, who is critical of both the Israeli Lobby and the anti-White agenda. Not to mention that most of the White gentile elite are on board with policies, like mass immigration, and are quick to throw ordinary Whites under the bus. Liberalism has infected the educated class, and Jews tend to be well-educated. While Jewish Americans are on average more ethnocentric than White gentiles, they are probably not as ethnocentric as the Alt-Right assumes.

While George Soros is often given as an example of a Jewish oligarch who funds the Great Replacement, it is important to point out that Soros also funds anti-Israel causes. The majority of NGOs that bring in migrants to Europe are probably European while Jews are often victims of Muslim immigration to Europe. Qatar is a slave state, and uses Al Jazeera as their propaganda arm to hide behind allegations of Islamophobia and push for Europeans to accept migrants while financing the Islamization of Europe. Qatar is also an adversary of Israel and backer of Hamas.

Sweden and Ireland, which both have hardly any Jews, have establishments that are pro-Palestinian while pursuing suicidal policies for their national demographic interests. Scotland’s Pakistani prime minister, Humza Yousaf, has strong ties to the Palestinian cause and is viciously anti-White. The ANC and EFF in South Africa, which are very pro-Palestinian, and outright pro-Hamas in the case of the EFF, are also genocidally anti-White.

There is a lot more nuance to the argument that Israel is the enemy of White European interests. For instance, Israel showed independence from the Western/American establishment on Apartheid South Africa, as well as defending Serbia on Kosovo and in their conflict with Bosnian Muslims. Today Netanyahu is friendly with Hungary’s Nationalist leader, Victor Orban, and Haaretz gave Likud flack for welcoming to Israel a Belgian-Flemish nationalist leader, who they consider antisemitic.

Polling shows that Israelis overall have a favorable view towards Europeans, as well as a very positive view of Americans. While Israel is much more nationalistic than the West, they have similar issues with liberal subversion. For instance, the comedian Sarah Silverman has a sister who is a leftwing Rabbi in Tel Aviv, who is a big advocate for welcoming African refuges into Israel. While “Open Borders for Israel” is an Alt-Right meme, a segment of leftwing Jews would go along with it.

Linkage is good for you:

• In the wake of the horrors of the Crocus City Hall attacks and the very heavy Russian missil strikes from last week, Pepe Escobar reports that Moscow is truly taking the gloves off now;
• The Frog military’s chief of the Army claims their military is ready to deploy into Ukraine, which is laughably stupid on its face;
• An MP from 404 – Country Not Found thinks the Frogs are going to send troops to the border regions with Belarus, as reserves to free up more Ukrainian men for slaughter;
• 404 has been forced to close down a “Sponsors of War” list of companies that decided to do the smart thing and STAY in the Russian market, after much international pressure;
• To precisely no one’s surprise, Bellendsky has complete control over Ukraine, and the Verkhovna Rada is really there just to rubber-stamp his proposals – as the Ukies themselves admit;
• There is a distinct possibility that the Russians will create a “T-100”, a turbine-engine successor to the excellent, but ageing, T-80 tank design;

• Rachael Marsden looks at NATO’s ratcheting up of the Fear PR0N to previously unseen levels to justify its existence in the face of an increasingly overwhelming Russian victory;
• Glenn Diesen deplores the pathetic state of Western whore-media coverage of Russia, and points out it is only getting worse with every passing day;
• Russian Market speculates on whether Apple is about to run out of ideas, as it is clearly losing the AI arms race;
• Russia has now signed into law a provision to permit the use of digital assets to settle trades, which is a HUGE step forward to a true BRICS settlement currency;
• That same currency appears to be making significant technical and economic progress, and will likely emerge next year;
• Robert Bridge speculates on what a new Trump Presidency might look like – and as I have said many times, I am on the record stating it WON’T happen;
• That being said, if we do indeed get God-Emperor 2.0, we might at least get some good out of it if he deports Harry the Ginger Whinger and the Half-Blood Princess;
• Timofey Bordachev explains the decline of French power and influence under Macaroni the Gay Frog, and points out this makes him MORE, not less, dangerous;

• The creator of the C++ programming language – who is a living legend in both programming and banking circles – rubbishes the notion that the language has memory issues in its modern incarnation;
• Peter Hitchens rightly heaps scorn and opprobrium on the entire stupid idea of “Daylight Savings Time”, which is just a meddlesome and annoying idiocy;
• A woman who let her lady-parts overrule her brain-parts banged her married-with-kids neighbour, and now wonders why he won’t give her the time of day;

And some more from Dawn Pine:

• In the midst of everything else going on, it turns out there are over a thousand drone flights a day over the FUSA’s no-longer-Southern border;
• Sedona, in Arizona, has allowed its homeless municipal workers to sleep in their cars, which tells you a lot about how “build back better” is going;
• Congress did in fact once again avoid a shutdown, but what exactly is the point, given the state of the national debt, and the total lack of will to tackle any of it?;
• The funniest part of the various nations of the world cancelling part of Somalia’s debt is not that it happened – it is that people actually believe Somalia is a country;
• A lady with two distinct lady-bits, has two boyfriends, and each only gets to enter into their own designated corridor, as it were, and says this is NOT cheating, but the door is exactly the same for both;
• Spring break in southern California has been a bit of a disappointment this year, because apparently a lot of Dindus got into a big fight, which is hardly surprising;
• The cost of giving birth in China is a major factor behind their plummeting TFR, and it is so bad that some hospitals have just plain stopped offering natal services entirely;
• It turns out you CAN work toward happiness – and it is, in fact, hard work;
• For those of you who are not terrified of heights, balloons, and yawning emptiness, you can pay half a million to go up in a giant gas-filled bag to have dinner at the edge of the atmosphere;
• The possibility of Terminator robots gets ever more real every day, as we now have a “parkour dogbot”;
• Some Ethiopians got quite rich after a bank there glitched out and allowed its customers to withdraw millions (in real money, not fake African currency) they didn’t actually have;

MUH RUSHIAN KAHLOOOOOOOZHUN!!!

The Neo-Tsar absolutely did not mince words in his address to the Russian people, in the wake of the Crocus City Hall atrocity:

The Putin is “a man for whom word and deed are one and the same”, to use that old quote out of the KGB file on St. Reagan of the Right. When he says Russia will find and eliminate those who did this thing, he is not joking or being hyperbolic.

And, if FSB investigation finds links to Ukraine, and therefore to Amerikhastan, then the FUSA had damned well better disavow Ukraine as fast as humanly possible, because then, the US government will have been complicit in a terrorist attack. (And not for the first time, either – let’s not forget, the CIA indirectly assisted the Chechen Wahhabist nutbags that carried out the Budyonnovsk, Beslan, and Nord-Ost atrocities in Russia during the 1990s and early 2000s, and the CIA is directly responsible for funding and arming ISIS.)

Meme Warfare

We begin as always with some epic memes from The Male Brain, starting with some about the now-averted government shutdown in the FUSA:

[Yes. Yes, it does. – Didact]

[Yes. Yes, it was. – Didact]

And some more:

[Opinions are like assholes – everyone has at least one. The natural corollary to this is, Republicucks are NOTHING BUT ASSHOLES. – Didact]

[Well, the pro-Palis tend to suffer from severe premature detonation, so in all honesty, a lot of that problem tends to solve itself fairly quickly. – Didact]

One from Anals [sic] of Empire:

[The only way to sort out this confusion, is to cast 1990s-era Monica Bellucci as the Evil Queen. Then we’ll all KNOW exactly which side to pick. – Didact]

[In fairness, calling a bunch of gender-confused neckbeards with “they/them” pronouns, “men”, is pushing it past the boundaries of credibility… – Didact]

[Given the “free gifts” you often get from whores – such as a very nasty burning sensation when you pee – that slogan is actually quite spot-on. – Didact]

And now, as LRFotS RobertW would say:

Seeing as how yesterday was Palm Sunday, therefore the start of Holy Week:

Finally, here is your Instathot for the start of the week. This here is Paige Nicole Johnson, age 33 (I think), who spends a lot of time with a golf bat ruining perfectly good walks by whacking a tiny little titanium ball into a hole.

Yes, I really do dislike golf. It’s a sport for rich White people who have nothing better to do.

(Of course, I once said similar things about skiing, and now I actually quite enjoy it, despite being neither White nor rich, so who knows…)

Oh, and she also does other things as a tech entrepreneur, an artist, and some other stuff. She is also married, apparently. And that’s about all I know.

Right, off to work, you lot.
