Weeks are like Lazy Susans – if you just wait long enough, the worst things always come right back around. Like Mondays. And there is really nothing worse than dragging your hungover butt into the office on a Monday, only to find yourself facing a day of endless tedium and PowerPoint presentations.
My loathing of PowerPoint is well known. I genuinely hope that the man who invented this horrible thing wakes up one morning to find a billion bugs in his briefs. There is NOTHING worse than having to put together an overly complex and ridiculously detailed PowerPoint presentation – except having to sit through one in an uncomprehending stupor as your poor brain is cudgelled into compliance by ridiculously complicated graphics and overwhelming amounts of content that smash it into grey paste.
Fortunately, that is why the Great Mondaydact Browser Beater exists – to serve as a welcome palliative to that horror, and to explain, in this particular case, why PowerPoint sucks:
Here is a more humourous take on the situation:
But, it’s not enough just to bitch about it. There IS, in fact, a way to use PowerPoint properly – it is a tool, just like anything else, and it CAN be used constructively to build real understanding. Here we see some tips and tricks that can help you do it right:
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, held a YUGE rally in Floriduh yesterday:
He did take a few cheap shots at Governor DeSantis, which I think was a bit dumb of him. Ron DeSantis is by far the most effective Republican governor in the country – he is actually doing what cuckservatives constantly just yap about but never really enact, and he has never shown any real interest in running for POTUS in 2024. I think that DeSantis would much rather clear the way and let Trump take the heat of the campaign, while he simply gets on with governing Florida.

Dawn of Battle
The Male Brain is back with plenty of important and funny stuff to keep us all entertained on what is sure to be, for most of us, a cold and gloomy Monday. We start with a Weird History Food video about the story of everyone’s favourite tacky burger joint, Hooters:
I have to say, Hooters actually only works in an American context, very specifically. I’ve been to a Hooters in Singapore, and it just… does not work in the same way. The raunchy atmosphere simply DOES NOT translate well to an Asian context, or to anything outside of America, really.
Moving on – The Science Asylum tries to understand the weird things that the Universe does to our sense of perception:
Wisecrack philosophises about the possibility of a Second Civil War:
My personal take is that, at this point, Civil War 2.0 is not only inevitable, it is necessary.
Black Pigeon Speaks – aka Felix Rex – unpacks the end of human progress in a rather bleak and depressing video:
Let’s lighten things up a bit with a great video from Solid jj, riffing on Daredevil:
Ryan George and Pitch Meeting offer up a very good take on the disaster that was She-Hulk, which has probably done more to ruin Marvel’s M-She-U than almost any other property:
Owl Kitty is BACK!!! Who wants to take a ride into the Catnip Zone?
EVERY SINGLE PERSON HERE would watch that movie. REPEATEDLY.
Poli-ticking Off
Mark Dice, like the rest of us, is greatly amused by Brolon’s house-cleaning at Twatter:
Let’s be clear about one thing, though – Elon Musk CATEGORICALLY IS NOT one of us. He is a ticket-taking globalist, nothing more and nothing less. Twatter is not a good platform for us. It’s simply reaping the inevitable rewards of corporate convergence and cancer.
The dynamic duo over at Redacted break down the catastrophic failures of the US military to protect their own people from the ravages of the not-vaxx:
Jackson Hinkle discusses the findings from Gazprom’s investigation of the Nord Stream pipeline attacks, and notes that what the separate European investigation DIDN’T tell us, is even more important than what the Russians DID:
ะะตะด ะกะฒะฐัะปะธะฒัะน ะะพะฒะพัะธั!
Grandpa Grumpuss grumps, grumpily about the very different ways in which the military-industrial complexes operate in the US and Russia – the former engages in extremely expensive jobs programmes, while the latter actually produces useful weapons, and the reason for the difference lies in radically different understandings of what war actually is:
Itโs All Greek To Us
The good gentlemen of The Duran discuss the craziness of current events, with a special surprise guest appearance in the middle:

Warrior’s Rage
Col. Douglas Macgregor talks to a guy who plainly doesn’t understand military matters, in a very patient and kind way, explaining the current situation on the ground and the extreme dangers that the West and 404 really fail to understand:
Righteous Rantery
Lord Razor of the Fist Clan has a very simple message to those idiots calling for a “COVID Amnesty”:
He is right. There is NO forgiveness for these people. NONE. I will get into this later, but suffice to say that expedited field executions would be too kind a fate for most of the people who inflicted the horrors of the past 2 years upon us.
PJW is not best pleased about the ways in which the government of PommieBastardLande is displacing tourists and residents of the English countryside in favour of illegal invaders:
Bad Medicine
Dr. John Campbell looks at some fascinating new evidence that the Coof emerged into human populations much earlier than initially imagined:
Dr. Nadir Ali explains the ways in which a low-carb diet raise your LDL – and why this is not at all a bad thing:
Warriors of Faith
Tha Dizzle is now fully unchained, and he has no hesitation whatsoever in calling Andrew “Cobra” Tate a massive fraud, hypocrite, and grifter, whose belief in Izzlam might be sincere, but is nothing more than an attempt to justify his own hedonism:
Dr. Jay Smith from PfanderFilms explains how the original Syro-Aramaic Christian lectionaries became bastardised into Arabic and had their meanings fundamentally changed into the pile of horripilation that is the Koran:
Al-Fadi from CIRA International invites Lloyd De Jongh on to explain the realities of shariah law:
Manly Men of Manliness
Terrence Popp asks the natural questions that everyone should be asking about election integrity:
Joker from Better Bachelor looks at a pretty hilarious story from Australia – where EVERYTHING WANTS TO KILL YOU AND EAT YOUR EYEBALLS FOR JUJUBEES!!! – and points out how it is a perfect example of red pill theory:
Kevin Samuels was a legend in his own lifetime, and it’s not hard to see why:
Burn Paedowood to the Ground
Midnight’s Edge breaks down Henry Cavill‘s departure from The Witcher series and his refusal to bow down to the woke writers who wrecked the thing:
Overlord Dicktor Van Doomcock notes that the wokeness of the new Blade is so bad that the studio had no choice but to delay it:
Gary from Nerdrotic pans outward to look at the entire corpus of Marvel Phase Bore, and concludes that the whole studio is screwed:
Ryan Kinel reckons that the next Black Panther movie is going to be pretty terrible:
The Drinker does one of his excellent analyses of the reasons why modern movies are so bad:
Reading Too Much Into Things
Your “Science is F***ING WEIRD” moment of the week is from The Male Brain, and concerns all of the doomsday rocks floating around just waiting for an AEROSMITH song and an epic (and amazingly silly) Michael Bay movie:
We are conducting a survey using twilight time on the Dark Energy Camera with the Blanco 4 m telescope in Chile to look for objects interior to Earth’s and Venus’ orbits. To date we have discovered two rare Atira/Apohele asteroids, 2021 LJ4 and 2021 PH27, which have orbits completely interior to Earth’s orbit. We also discovered one new Apollo-type Near Earth Object (NEO) that crosses Earth’s orbit, 2022 AP7. Two of the discoveries have diameters โณ1 km. 2022 AP7 is likely the largest Potentially Hazardous Asteroid (PHA) discovered in about eight years. To date we have covered 624 square degrees of sky near to and interior to the orbit of Venus. The average images go to 21.3 mag in the r band, with the best images near 22nd mag. Our new discovery 2021 PH27 has the smallest semimajor axis known for an asteroid, 0.4617 au, and the largest general relativistic effects (53 arcsec/century) known for any body in the solar system. The survey has detected โผ15% of all known Atira NEOs. We put strong constraints on any stable population of Venus co-orbital resonance objects existing, as well as the Atira and Vatira asteroid classes. These interior asteroid populations are important to complete the census of asteroids near Earth, including some of the most likely Earth impactors that cannot easily be discovered in other surveys. Comparing the actual population of asteroids found interior to Earth and Venus with those predicted to exist by extrapolating from the known population exterior to Earth is important to better understand the origin, composition, and structure of the NEO population.
Your long read of the week is the story of the late jerry Lee Lewis‘s second wife, who happened to be his 13-year-old cousin at the time – the woman in question has extraordinary grace and dignity, which shines through in her words:
A lively and engaging character, Myra now lives in Duluth, Georgia, with her third husband, of nearly 40 years, whom she describes as โan old-fashioned gentlemanโ. Together they run a real estate firm.
โLifeโs pretty calm,โ she says.
Even so, the past few weeks have been emotionally gruelling. Just over two weeks before Jerry died, Myra lost her father Jay, a talented bass player, to cancer at the age of 95. It was Jay who plucked his cousin Jerry from obscurity, putting him on the path to stardom.
โDaddy was in search of a pianist for his band and had heard rumours about how good Jerry was. He brought him to Memphis to record with his record producer Sam Phillips,โ she says.
โSam wasnโt too sure. He saw a lot of fly-by-nights, but my daddy vouched for him, said he would provide a roof over his head, and based on that, Sam Phillips took a chance on him.
โSo without my daddy going to Louisiana, Mississippi, looking for Jerry, there would be no Jerry Lee Lewis.โ

- A number of not-very-clever Russian tycoons have been renouncing their Russian citizenship – evidently with the hope of setting up some kind of government-in-exile, which is beyond idiotic;

- Larry Johnson explains why the Russians have been so slow and methodical in their approach to the SMO, and why they have not escalated MUCH sooner;
- Bernhard from Moon of Alabama heaps scorn and opprobrium on the nonsensical headlines about the Norks supplying stuff to the Rooskees;

- Paul Craig Roberts despairs for the future of his country, for everything that made the USA great in his youth, is now essentially gone;
- Lance Welton speaks for the rest of us in his furious anger at that idiot from The Atlantic who wrote that ridiculous piece about a “COVID Amnesty” – there will be absolutely NO SUCH THING;
- Ann Coulter notes, in her signature acerbic style, that every single state has people who deny the existence of crime on the ballots for tomorrow – they’re called Daemoncrats;
- A crazy lunatic tranny – Lord, forgive me my redundancies – appeared in court and was convicted as both a man and a woman, which just tells you how deep we are in Clown World;
- Brenton Sanderson writes about how racial grievance has proven to be incredibly profitable for a lot of idiots in Australia, who are busy trying to turn themselves into Abos to get all the free GIBSMEDATS!!!;
- Does anyone remember Brendan Fraser? Turns out, his career may well have been torpedoed by a powerful and influential homo trying to grope him;
- Kelly Brook talks about how she was excluded from the fashion industry because she was curvy (read: FAT) by their standards, though to my eyes, she was damn sexy in her salad days;
- In PommieBastardLande, a “beauty queen” – she’s not very pretty – from the Met got BTFOd because she started dealing drugs – quis custodiet ipsos custodes, indeed;
- Apparently, there is a plant which grows, naturally, in Australia, where EVERYTHING WANTS TO KILL YOU AND EAT YOUR EYEBALLS FOR JUJUBEES!, that has the most horrible sting in the entire world – and some British idiot cultivates it;
- I know that people really miss their pets when they die, and it’s hard to get over, but one couple took things to a serious extreme when they turned their beloved golden retriever into a living room rug;
And some more from Dawn Pine:
- Apparently, Matthew Perry had some sort of beef with Keanu Reeves back in the day, and it’s all really seriously Beta;
- OK, who had “Yet Another Giant Asteroid Whizzing Past Earth” in the Doomsday Apocalypse Bingo Pool for the third week of November?;
- Archaeologists have found the tomb of St. Nicholas of Myra – y’know, the bishop who came to the Council of Nicaea to deliver gifts to children and Jap-slap heretics in the face, and who ran right out of gifts;
- The Babylon Bee writes all the news that’s fake to print, and yet are still more honest than any “news” outlet – here they explain what you can now finally say on Twatter;
- Another one for the Bee, which notes that the Department of Homeland “Security” will happily censor speech if they think it will help them secure the country;
- In case you’ve ever wondered, it IS possible to book a massage with a “happy ending”, and apparently there are some key warning signs that you need to look out for;
- Some mad geniuses have figured out how to create concrete structures that inflate just like balloons, and that is every bit as cool as you think it is;
- A dude ditched his date because she wouldn’t drink alcohol and had an intolerance to gluten (which I’m not sure is a real thing) – and I have to say, I think he did the right thing;
- This story about a woman walking completely butt-ass-nekkid up the steps of a cathedral in Italy, draped only in a curtain, to take photos, just screams “ATTENTION WHORE”;
- PommieBastardLande has a massive refugee problem, and it is getting worse now with Albanians added to the mix of other invaders from shithole countries, like all of Africa, most of India, and of course Banderastan;
- Virgin Australia has an incentive for the poor schmucks who book the middle seat – if only Sydney Watson had been able to take advantage of that before being squashed by two fatasses;
- More on that hilariously sad story about the Turducken Plane not having enough pilots to fly the things over in PommieBastardLande – it’s a pretty pathetic situation, to be honest;
- Here’s a hint – if you’re a woman and you’ve been with your fella for 17 years, and he’s NEVER proposed, AND you have kids with him, he ain’t never gonna put a ring on it, and you’re the dumb cow giving the milk away for free;
- You know how your PR0N always lied to you about what lesbians look like and how they act? Well, this story about two beauty pageant contestants “marrying” each other might be the exception to that rule;
- A mother-of-six has some simple and genuinely based rules for her kids, and enforces them – imagine that, a parent who actually parents;
- Here’s your “Meanwhile, in Floriduh” moment of the week – a woman who sped through a traffic checkpoint and then took a selfie during the traffic stop;
- SkyNet Australia frets that there is no obvious successor to Fake President Braindead – I disagree, you could replace Brandon with a turnip and it would be less catastrophic than what is happening right now;
- Just when you thought ‘Straya couldn’t get any more drunk, crazy, and dangerous – a bunch of drunken women at a Brisbane race event started beating each other up, and being women, that fight is exactly as idiotic as it sounds;
- A dude in PommieBastardLande writes in to an agony aunt about his wife, who is literally a crazy cat lady now, and laments the consequences of his own failure to set boundaries that has led to his home stinking of cat-piss;
- Necessity truly is the mother of invention, as in the case of this guy who built a “hidden flat” into an active shopping centre because he had literally nowhere else to go;
- Where exactly do you suppose that Goliath, the giant and possibly one of the second generation of Nephilim, was buried? It might just be at the base of Golgotha – the hill where Christ was crucified, which has profound implications;
MUH RUSHIAN KAHLOOOOOZHUN!!!

This, by the way, is the “painting” in question:
Dafuq?!?!?! I can’t draw a pencil, WITH a pencil, and I could do a better job than that.
(In my misspent yoot, I took an art elective in high school. YUGE mistake, but that’s not the point. The thing is, I come from a family that prizes academic achievement – which is not surprising for those of you who know where I’m from. So that year, I barely passed the art elective, by the skin of my teeth – I mean, by literally 7 points. My dad looked at my report card that year and said, “couldn’t you have practiced or something, to improve your skills?” He was just that horrified by such a low grade. My mum and I just looked at each other and smiled – she understood just fine how little I was interested in the subject. True story.)

Apparently she has appeared on the covers of Vogue and Life Germany.
