Monday morning DIEabolical DIEversions

by | Mar 31, 2025 | Mondays | 2 comments

Monday is the worst day of the week for many reasons, not the least of which is the fact that you are expected to come into work all bright-eyed and productive. Yet, more often than not, Monday is an incredibly UNPRODUCTIVE day, because there is always so much thrown at the wall that none of it really sticks.

It is truly a profoundly depressing day, and the sooner one gets it over and done with, the better. Fortunately, that is why the Great Mondaydact Browser Killer exists – to help you do precisely that, as quickly as possible.

For this week’s selection, we kick things off by talking about how Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity – I put them in that order for a reason – is pure corporate cancer. You must do your level best to YEET it out of your organisation as quickly as possible, and we shall see why shortly.

John Stossel explains how sunlight is the greatest possible disinfectant against the cancer of DIEdeology:

RobbyStarbuck shows how the biggest bank in the world is full of woketardery:

He also shows how to take on the whore-media when talking about that horrible crash over the Potomac back in, I think, late January:

And then he takes on Mickey Dee’s:

Plus one about how ending DIEdeology results in INCREASED, not decreased, shareholder value:

I can personally attest to the value of effective gate-keeping. I am heavily involved in corporate recruitment, and I make sure that every time I see even a HINT of something mentioning “DEI” or “LGBTQWTFISTHISSHIT” on a CV, it gets mysteeeeeeeeriously tossed into the paper shredder and never comes back to the surface again.

The result has been a remarkably harmonious corporate environment, based largely on merit and achievement, not grievance-mongering and politics. One cannot escape this entirely, of course, and there is still an inexplicable push for MOAR WAMMENZES!!!!!!, but for the most part, we have been able to keep the barbarians out of the gates.

You must do the same – whether covertly or overtly, you MUST do it. The survival of your company depends on it.


The Mighty God-Emperor

His Most Illustrious, Noble, August, Benevolent, and Legendary Celestial Majesty, the God-Emperor of Mankind, Donaldus Triumphus Magnus Astra, the First of His Name, the Lion of Midnight, may the Lord bless him and preserve him, laid an absolute smackdown on the Canuckistanis, whom he thinks will thrive as the 51st (mongo) state of America:

Truth be told, adding Canuckistan to America is not going to do either party much good. The Great Frozen North would need to be broken up into about 20 new states. And someone would have to figure out what the hell to do with Quebec – I DO NOT envy whoever has to deal with those crazies.

Дед Сварливый Говорит!

Grandpa Grumpuss grumps, grumpily, about the recent long-form article in The New York F***ing Slimes, which is essentially an attempt to glorify the non-existent achievements of American generals, and to blame the Ukies for failing to follow American advice – in other words, to pretend as though Amerikhastan had nothing to do with the total defeat of 404 – Country Not Found:

As you will see down below from the Greeks, that article completely fails to admit the very real defeats inflicted by the Russians on the Ukrainians, due to vastly superior leadership, logistics, and just plain and simple training.

The reality is that most American generals in the modern US military would not be able to command a battalion in the modern Russian military. The American system of officer education simply CANNOT teach the level of complexity and mathematical knowledge required to run a full military unit above that level. If you look at Russian generals, they think about war as a complex engineering system – most of them have engineering degrees, in fact – and as a series of incredibly difficult mathematical equations that require coefficient estimations and deep analysis to quantify and understand.

Russian generals also happen to read a lot. They are EXTREMELY well educated in war, because they study it as both an art and a science. And, unlike American generals, they have never fallen prey to the kind of military mythology that seems to infect much of the officer class above the level of Major. (Or Commander, in the Navy’s case.)

Reading Too Much Into Things

Your Science is F***ing Weird moment of the week is about an interesting new finding that eliminates the need for a theoretical “dark force”:

Physicists in Germany have found an alternative explanation for an anomaly that had previously been interpreted as potential evidence for a mysterious “dark force”. Originally spotted in ytterbium atoms, the anomaly turns out to have a more mundane cause. However, the investigation, which involved high-precision measurements of shifts in ytterbium’s energy levels and the mass ratios of its isotopes, could help us better understand the structure of heavy atomic nuclei and the physics of neutron stars.

Isotopes are forms of an element that have the same number of protons and electrons, but different numbers of neutrons. These different numbers of neutrons produce shifts in the atom’s electronic energy levels. Measuring these so-called isotope shifts is therefore a way of probing the interactions between electrons and neutrons.

In 2020, a team of physicists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the US observed an unexpected deviation in the isotope shift of ytterbium. One possible explanation for this deviation was the existence of a new “dark force” that would interact with both ordinary, visible matter and dark matter via hypothetical new force-carrying particles (bosons).

Although dark matter is thought to make up about 85 percent of the universe’s total matter, and its presence can be inferred from the way light bends as it travels towards us from distant galaxies, it has never been detected directly. Evidence for a new, fifth force (in addition to the known strong, weak, electromagnetic and gravitational forces) that acts between ordinary and dark matter would therefore be very exciting.

A team led by Tanja Mehlstäubler from the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) in Braunschweig and Klaus Blaum from the Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics (MPIK) in Heidelberg has now confirmed that the anomaly is real. However, the PTB-MPIK researchers say it does not stem from a dark force. Instead, it arises from the way the nuclear structure of ytterbium isotopes deforms as more neutrons are added.


Your long read of the week is from Big Serge, and provides a detailed view of how the Russians are likely to push for the final end to the 404 War, on their terms:

The world is still adjusting to the new kinetic logic of the powerful ISR-Strike nexus which now rules the battlefield. What Kursk demonstrates, however, is that conventional sensibilities about operations are hardly obsolete: if anything, they have become even more important in the age of the FPV drone. Ukraine’s defeat in Kursk ultimately reduces to well-established rules about lines of communication and flank security. Their early defeats in Korenevo and Snagost left their western flank permanently crumpled and thrust them back on a thin logistical chain which was easy for Russian forces to surveil and strike. In a sense, drones have made it possible to vertically envelop enemy forces, isolating frontline groupings with persistent overwatch on supply roads. This was a feature that was largely missing in Bakhmut, where Russian forces were still preferentially using tube artillery rather, but it seems to be a permanent feature of the battlefield going forward, making seemingly antiquated concerns like “lines of communication” more important than ever. Drones matter, but the spatial position of forces matter too.

So where does this leave Ukraine? They’ve now blown a pair of carefully husbanded mechanized packages: one in Zaporizhia in 2023, and now a second in Kursk. In both cases, they were unable to cope with the capability of Russian strike systems to isolate their groupings on the frontline, and with Russian surveillance and strikes on rear assembly areas and bases of support. Their position in Kursk is gone, and they have nothing to show for their efforts.

All theories as to why Ukraine went into Kursk are now a quaint point of speculation. Whether or not they intended to hold some token slice of Russian territory as a bargaining chip is irrelevant, as the slice is gone. More importantly, the theory that Kursk could force a major redeployment of Russian forces has gone awry and now threatens to boomerang on the Ukrainians. Most of the Russian forces in Kursk were redeployed from their grouping in Belgorod, rather than the critical theater in the Donbas (as we noted earlier, while the AFU was running its “diversion” in Kursk, the Russians completely collapsed the southern Donetsk front and pushed up the Dnipro Oblast border).

What’s important to note, however, is that the Kursk front is not going to be scratched off simply because the Russians have ejected Ukraine across the border. In his surprise appearance at the Kursk theater headquarters, Putin noted to need to create a “security zone” around Kursk. This is the Russian parlance for continuing the offensive across the Ukrainian border (and in fact, Russian forces have crossed into Sumy Oblast in several places) to create a buffer zone. This will have the dual purpose of both keeping the front active, preventing Ukraine from redeploying forces back to the Donbas, and preempting any attempt by the AFU to stage forces for a second crack at Kursk. Most likely the Russians will attempt to capture the heights along the border line and position themselves uphill from the Ukrainians, replicating the situation around Kharkov.

In short, having opened a new front in Kursk, the Ukrainians cannot now easily close it. For a force facing severe personnel shortages (read my previous analysis on the parlous state of Ukrainian mobilization if you’d like a refresher), Ukraine’s inability to shorten their frontline creates unwelcome additional stresses. With Russian pressure continuing unabated in the Donbas, we are left wondering whether a doomed 9 month battle for Sudzha was really the best use of Ukraine’s dwindling resources.


Linkage is good for you:

And some more from Dawn Pine:


MUH RUSHIAN KAHLOOOOOOOZHUN!!!

The Neo-Tsar had some EXTREMELY pointed things to say, if the West had bothered to pay attention, while touring the latest Yasen’-M-class nuclear-powered attack submarine of the Northern Fleet:

The Arkhangelsk is, in and of itself, a terrifying weapon. It is a fully modern fourth-generation nuclear attack sub, with the very latest in instruments and sonar, and multiple weapons classes, including navalised 3M14 Kalibr, P800 Oniks, and 3M54 Tsirkon missiles. These range upward from high subsonic, to high supersonic, to hypersonic, ship-killers. And that is before we get to its torpedoes and decoys, which are state-of-the-art.

On top of that, you can see the Neo-Tsar is in a supremely confident mood. He knows Russia is winning, and he is in NO MOOD WHATSOEVER to be merciful to the West.

Rock Out With Your Glock Out


Thot Shots

Finally, here is your Instathot to get the week off to a suitably absurd start. This here is Olga Bednarska, age 27 from Poland, who is best known for being an influenza and a reality TV “star” on the Netherflix show, Too Hot to Handle. I have no idea what that is, since I think most TV is cancer, but apparently, she was also stupid enough to get caught travelling from Phuket, Thailand, to Manchester, PommieBastardLande, with like US$180K worth of the Devil’s Lettuce.

Despite being caught dead to rights, she got an EPIC Poosy Pass, and avoided jail-time for a blatant offence. Hell, she was extremely fortunate it happened on the way FROM Thailand – because getting caught on the way TO Thailand with those kinds of drugs, gets you a potential one-way ticket to DEATH ROW. If it’s just grass, as it was in this case, then I think it comes down to an incredibly lengthy prison sentence.

Southeast Asia takes drug trafficking incredibly seriously. There are Indians who go to great lengths to smuggle poppy-seed into Singapore, which is very much a controlled substance, because that stuff is part of several Indian curry recipes – but it is, of course, also used to manufacture heroin and other opiates. (The hint is in the NAME.) And the Singaporeans do not sit around asking stupid questions, either – if they catch you with that shit, you go straight to Death Row, Do Not Pass Go, Do Not Collect $200.

Honestly, this has to be one of the greatest escapes ever recorded – not least because the thot in question did it due to a lack of funds.

So, dumb AND broke. Wife material, plainly…

Anyway, that’s it, back to work now, boys.

    I don’t know about other people, but I love going to foreign countries to immerse myself in their culture, foods, see their great works of art, architecture, and history, and then coming home to digest the incredible experience.

    I love visiting places like India, eating curry, seeing the (ahem often openly pornographic) statuary and cultural artifacts, and then moving to russia to see and experience their culture and culinary delights, visiting greece and enjoying their foods and culture, and leaving a lot of money behind me, and even visiting the UK to see their culture and avoid the hell out of the worst food on the planet.

    Your home is your place, your culture, your culinary preferences. I honestly think that idiot foodies who are too lazy to want to travel to other parts of the world are part of the driving force behind multiculturalism. Evil monsters, like Vegans.

    What are your thoughts on the Chinese woman who left her husband and 3 children, now asking for help. I get Chinese culture is different and it is up to them. If it happen to me, i don’t know how I would react. This Chinese man had to paid for the cost of the kids an rise them, very hard as a single parent.

    I am a bit mix. I will explain on my thoughts.
    1. As a Christian we ask to forgive those as our father in Heaven has forgiven us. Colossians 3:13, and Ephesians 4:32.
    Yes she left the family. One does not have to paid for the treatment. If the kids wish not to see her that is ok, as a man I would probably go visit her. Would I paid, I might but to be fair this has not happen to me. This is due to the fact she at the very least gave birth to my children (If nothing else).

    I think this comes from living in an Western and how badly the system treats Men here. The fact that you had the kids and got to rise them, is kind of a win. She at the very least gave you 3 kids (I have none and wish I had at least 1).

    I have both had friends (Men) in the West that lost everything due to divorce. The court ordering the Kids live with their mother and father getting kicked out of the house. Only at best getting to see the kids every fortnight. In a lot cases the kids are told lies on how bad the father was/is. In more extreme cases (only hearing from the news, no one yet in my life) of a Son or Daughter going trans and the father having little to no rights to stop it.

    Anyway Bless you DidacticMind I hope you are well
