Monday morning grandest of prixes

by | Apr 7, 2025 | Mondays | 1 comment

What a ghastly, horrible, nasty day this is – a feckless, disgusting, miserable, awful, soul-crushing excuse for a 24-hour span. It is also known as “Monday”, and, like shingles, or the Clintons, you think you have vanquished it, but it keeps popping back up and making you feel like doing very bad things to yourself.

Fortunately, that is why the Great Mondaydact Browser Hacker exists. And today, we are going to start with some legendary diversions from the glory days of Formula 1:


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, pushed through YUUUUUUGE!!! BIG BEAUTIFUL tariff increases on just about everyone else, on “Liberation Day” (so to speak), last week:

As far as anyone can tell, the calculations around these tariff rates are pretty simple:

<blockquote class=”twitter-tweet”><p lang=”en” dir=”ltr”>Flexport&#39;s team was able to reverse engineer the formula the Administration used to generate the &quot;reciprocal tariffs.&quot; <br><br>It&#39;s quite simple, they took the trade deficit the US has with each country and divided it by our imports from that country. <br><br>The chart below shows the… <a href=”https://t.co/01bUpfKgk8″>pic.twitter.com/01bUpfKgk8</a></p>&mdash; Ryan Petersen (@typesfast) <a href=”https://twitter.com/typesfast/status/1907600619420147833?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw”>April 3, 2025</a></blockquote> <script async src=”https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js” charset=”utf-8″></script>

That does not say anything about their potential effectiveness, either way. The major question is whether or not Drumpf will use the opportunity provided by these tariffs to push for a GENUINE revival of American industrial capacity and output.

If he does, then they will have worked. If he does not, then they will be a total failure.

Dawn of Battle

The Male Brain has lots to keep us busy this Monday. We start with one from The Arrow, that explains how Izzlamick “culture” (so to speak) has ruined the fighting capabilities of Arab armies:

For those interested in a secular analysis of this same issue, see the article, “Why Arabs Lose Wars” by LTC (USArmy-Ret) Norville B. Atkine, from over 25 years ago. It remains as relevant today as it was back then.

Solid jj shows what happens when you have just way too many bloody Avengers:

Dr. Orion Taraban from PsycHacks provides a nuanced understanding of “attachment theory”, which I think is long overdue:

Economics Explained shows us how financialisation destroys economies:

Alexander Grace points out that women will gladly and easily expose all the stupid things men say to them, in ways that no man would ever do with a woman (OR a man):

Prager U explains socialism in 5 minutes, and why it always – ALWAYS – fails in the end:

Agent Nesty points out some harsh realities about dating and marrying Slavic women:

I can speak from considerable personal experience here. I have dated Ukrainian and Russian women. They can be wonderfully feminine, charming, and lovely to be around. They keep themselves in good shape, take care of their appearance, and are genuinely extraordinarily feminine. And they know how to keep their men happy – whether that be in the streets, the kitchen, or the bedroom.

They are also ABSOLUTELY AND COMPLETELY BUGSHIT NUCKING FUTS.

In this, of course, they are no different from any other woman. There is no such thing as a sane and rational woman – if she exists, she is a MAN.

But Eastern European women have a particularly nasty temperament when it comes to testing their men, formed by decades of harsh competition with each other. This stems from the imbalance between gender numbers following the Great Patriotic War, where there were far more women than men in the USSR territories.

The problem is most severe in Ukraine, where the women there have evolved into hyper-feminised, hyper-sexualised examples of the females of the species. Russian women are nowhere near as bad, though they are still pretty bad.

A Ukrainian woman will happily marry you for money and a passport – they come from a totally broken culture and an extremely corrupt country. Let us face facts, a woman starving in a desert will do A LOT for a bottle of water and a pack of crackers.

But, once the Ukrainian has what she wants, in the form of financial and geographical security, that is when the testing and insanity starts. It can get violent in an awfully big hurry.

Russian women, by contrast, come from a much less broken culture, and from a country that is strong, free, independent, and (most importantly) CHRISTIAN. But it is a VERY different type of Christianity than what Westerners are used to, which means there are inevitably some significant culture clashes.

The bottom line is that no man should avoid Russian women for dating and marriage, just because they are Russian. The same DOES NOT apply to Ukrainian women – as far as I am concerned, you should and must avoid them like the plague.

Veterans’ Day

LTC Danny Davis talks about that particularly fatuous and mendacious TNYFS article which pretends as though the Ukrainians are losing the 404 War, simply because they refuse to listen to the brilliant and talented American generals telling them what to do:

The reality and fact is that Russia is winning simply because it is BETTER AT THE ART OF WAR than anyone else is. But TNYFS cannot bear to admit this basic truth.


Judge’s Ruling

Judge Nap talks to Prof. Jeffrey Sachs about the potential damage that Trump’s tariffs might do to the US economy:

I do not agree with Prof. Sachs on this subject. He comes from a kind of standard neoclassical synthesis approach to economics, which accepts the dogma of Free Trade. I abandoned that dogma a long time ago, because the facts on the ground flatly contradict it. That does not, of course, mean Prof. Sachs has no authority or points to make.

Reading Too Much Into Things

Your Science is F***ing Weird moment of the week is from LRFotS RobertW, and is about how beauty affects personality and future success:

Beauty has pervasive implications for success in various domains of life. Given this broad and visible nature, whether and how a belief in the improvability of this important human attribute influences judgment and decision-making is largely unknown. We found that beauty implicit theories can produce strong cross-domain impact on risk-taking behavior. Using both hypothetical choices and real behaviors in one cross-country survey and nine experiments, including three supplementary studies (N = 4,015), we found that (a) incremental theorists, who believed that beauty is malleable and improvable, took greater risks than entity theorists, who believed that beauty is fixed, and (b) an incremental belief of beauty heightens a sense of optimism that one will achieve positive outcomes in various domains of life, which consequently promotes risk-seeking behavior. These findings demonstrate that domain-specific implicit theory (i.e. beauty in our case) can affect behavior beyond that domain (non-beauty related risk-taking).


Your long read of the week is from Martin Lichtmesz, and takes apart the theory that Brigitte Macron is a man:

So the simplest explanation is the official one: Jean-Michel from 1954 and 1964 looks so much like Brigitte simply because he is her brother. With age, the resemblance faded because Jean-Michel has gained weight and Brigitte today is a scrawny bean pole with multiple facelifts.

That would be the “Brigitte Macron is a man” theory in its essential features. I have to leave out countless details, assertions and associations that Poussard brings into play, which are without exception weak or downright irrelevant, for reasons of space and to spare the reader more rabbit hole spergery.

However, I cannot leave two particular delicacies unmentioned.

First, there is the male-to-female transsexual “Véronique”, who appeared anonymously in silhouette on a French television programme in 1977. It is striking that his voice cannot be distinguished from that of a woman (a friend of mine claims she can hear the subdued male pitch, which is impossible for me). According to the extended theory, this person is identical to Jean-Michel Trogneux and thus to Brigitte Macron.

Poussard, for example, believes that one can clearly tell from the intonation, the choice of words and the voice that they are the same person, always considering the fact that Brigitte Macron’s present voice has of course aged quite a lot since. A graphic, taken from the Audacity programme, is also supposed to prove the identity of the voices.

It seems particularly striking to Poussard and Candace (whose French is the most atrocious rape of a language I have ever heard) that Véronique uses the phrase “c’est à dire”, which Brigitte Macron has also done (and practically every living Frenchman and -woman). Véronique mentions Chopin, and decades later the French press reported that Emmanuel likes to play Chopin on the piano for his wife. Do you need more proof??

Now, if “Véronique” is Jean-Michel (and thus Brigitte Macron), then Poussard’s theory faces serious problems (which he doesn’t seem to realise). The moderator explicitly states that Véronique has already had her operation. She, in turn, explains that “women” of her kind can “copulate, but not procreate” (copuler, mais pas procréer).

However, according to official documents that Poussard not only does not doubt but incorporates into his narrative, Jean-Michel Trogneux married in 1980 and fathered two children. How was that possible if Véronique had already been “post-op”? Did she retain her reproductive organ? And did she re-identify as a man for the purpose of the wedding?

Neither Poussard nor Owens bother to explain, let alone address blatant inconsistencies and contradictions like these. They simply sweep these elephants under the rug. Poussard wriggles his way out by evasively stating that Jean-Michel and his wife “declared” these two children as theirs “whatever the materiality of the couple they formed.”

As for Jean-Michel’s children, they lead us to the second delicacy, the absolute cherry on the top of the theory cake.

His son Jean-Jacques Trogneux, born in 1982, bears a striking resemblance to Emmanuel Macron, according to the unmaskers. At least in some photos of Jean-Jacques, such a similarity can indeed be seen; see for example this sample poll video shot in a French city centre – almost everyone questioned immediately associates Macron with the image of Jean-Jacques.

But what would be the implication? Poussard only hints at it: since he also believes that there are gaps and inconsistencies in the biography of Emmanuel Macron, the whole thing implicitly amounts to the fact that Macron and Jean-Jacques Trogneux are related, possibly half-brothers, possibly both sons of Jean-Michel.

Thot Shots

Right, let’s finally get to the Instathot for the start of the week. This here is Anna Malygon, age 22 from Kharkov, Ukraine (but probably not for very much longer – that is a RUSSIAN city, and it will eventually go home). She has several strikes against her:

  • Ukrainian, therefore crazier than a bag full of pissed-off rattlesnakes, and about 10x more dangerous;
  • OnlyFools “model”, therefore RADIOACTIVE on the Thot Scale;
  • Tattooed;
  • Hates Russians and especially The Putin;

So, as with all khokholinas – look, but DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, TOUCH.

OK lads, that’s it, back to work now.

    Schumi was a superlative talent, no question. but he also screwed other drivers over quite a few times in his career. and, iirc, he actually cost himself a championship by inducing another driver to rear end him UNDER YELLOW at Monaco one season.
