“For example, all 64 starting cornerbacks in the NFL since 2004 have been black. Not even a Samoan has cracked the black monopoly on cornerback. My best guess is that both nature and nurture play a role in that extraordinary statistic.” https://t.co/ZY5D3dzqxg pic.twitter.com/jalghOP59H

It’s honestly true that all men are some level of sperg. Even a dumb woman will usually be more socially intelligent than the wittiest guy. Spergs build civilization and spergs will inherit the Earth.
Now there’s a cure for Covid-induced depression.
Speaking of stats, nice logo:
The NFL is for homosexuals Sailer. As I am not a rump rangler, I care not if the cornerbacks are black or tranny. If you get down to it, the whole damn league is near black at this point. Defenses are almost entirely black, not just corners. I don’t care to enrich the NFL with my support anymore.

Yow!

How can they tell what caused the brain damage of a Wokel?
Yeah, right? That chick is hottt!!!! Now what were we talking about . . .
Well, Steve, before the internet, you had a really hot blond girlfriend.
Better not show the picture to your wife.
Does your wife put up with stuff like that, your bringing up of some of your interesting HBD points, that is? I can’t talk to my wife about details of my interests. She won’t agree with me on political points either … till about 10 years later, each time.
Obligatory: Nice ones.
“Social intelligence” and “emotional IQ” and terms like that are made up by not-so-bright HR ladies who want to make a claim on intelligence. They just mean “good at getting along with people.”. Getting along with people is often a good thing, but when you are right and the other guy is wrong, you’re not TRYING to get along with him. I’m guessing the women don’t understand that.
(In earlier times artsy people wouldn't have liked being lumped together with geeks, nerds, and the like, but with all the money now being channeled into STEM, attitudes have apparently changed.)
After all, to tolerate a thing is not necessarily to accept it.
In battles of ideas, if I 'tolerate' an adversary, it's like saying -Why would anyone let someone else's error go uncorrected? When the 'someone else' doesn't matter.
Tolerance is actually really quite patronising (in the pejorative sense). 'Agreeing to disagree' is, too (or it's an indication that the matter under dispute is irrelevant: in which case, why is it under dispute?).
That's why I am intolerant: if I am reasonably certain that someone else is wrong, I see it as a moral duty to try to correct them.
Errare humanum est, in errore perseverare stultum.
To err is human; to persist in error is stupid.
My Latin's not good enough to add the necessary third phrase: To permit another to persist in error is unethical - because it is consigning a person to continued ignorance, when it's in your power to attempt to remedy it.
That is really not funny to me, because brain injury is my biggest fear. I would rather lose all four limbs than become a victim of traumatic brain injury.

Net Flix has a cool new documentary on the “Son of Sam” (David Berkowitz).
They made a persuasive case that Berkowitz didn’t act alone. He seems to have been a part of a powerful Satanic cult, which carried out various ritual murders. Interestingly, the Satanic cult was involved with narcotics distribution, child trafficking, violent sacrifices of animals, and very dark Occult rituals as well. Berkowitz ended up becoming the “fall guy” for the cult’s various murders
The documentary also discussed the link between the Occultists who trained Berkowitz and Charles Manson.

The Vigilant Citizen had a good summary. In the Tweet below, you can see one of Charles Manson’s girls performing that bizarre hand gesture (fingers twisted into a circle and placed over the eye) that has become so popular in Hollywood now.
There is a bizarre nexus that involves Satanic cults, murders, prostitution (especially of the very young), dark Occult rituals, Hollywood, and (most surprisingly of all) the intelligence agencies.
If you want to learn more, research Pizza Gate, Jeffrey Epstein, Boystown Omaha, and The Finders. Very weird stuff that often involves the most elite echelons of wealth, fame, and power.

One time, I walked up to a bus stop, where he was effusively complimenting a beautiful Black girl, who was a bit weirded out by him. He used to be able to ride a bicycle, he complimented her and rode off. I said to her, "He crashed his motorcycle, and he has brain damage, but he still appreciates beautiful ladies". She actually smiled at me. He began to deteriorate physically, probably due to lack of physical therapy. He could no longer ride a bicycle. I saw him, less and less and have not seen him for about 10 years.
Getting along with women is more difficult, and more important than getting along with men. Getting along with men requires just a bit of alcohol. Getting good with women – long term – requires compromise and a bit of tolerance. But fucking men will not make you babies, ever.

But alas, who even cares about the NFL, NCAA football and basketball, NBA, MLB anymore at this point.
In other sports news, the White and Irish heavyweight boxing champion of the world, Tyson Fury, has tested positive for the coronarona and his fight with Deontay Wilder has been postponed. As long as we have a White heavyweight champion who gives a shit about the NFL.

From the Wikipedia entry on Errol Morris:
In 1984, Morris married Julia Sheehan, whom he had met in Wisconsin while researching Ed Gein and other serial killers. He would later recall an early conversation with Julia: “I was talking to a mass murderer but I was thinking of you,” he said, and instantly regretted it, afraid that it might not have sounded as affectionate as he had wished. But Julia was actually flattered: “I thought, really, that was one of the nicest things anyone ever said to me. It was hard to go out with other guys after that.”
I always thought that was so romantic. The closest I ever came to that was my husband letting me pick “Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer” for a romantic evening at home.

Or, to call a true expert, a perfect stranger, a human and not a phone tree, who would be delighted to answer a question.

I was thinking more like players (staying with QB’s) like Tebow and Warner who had 5-15 really good days and are now rich and famous. Tebow stinks on average but when he got lucky or he got hot or his guardian angel was hovering over him had a very few very spectacular moments. There are thousands of such performances in the history of baseball and almost all completely forgotten. Now Warner was a legitimately good QB. At least as good as Matt Schaub.

When I first moved to the small town I have lived in for 22 years, a young man who appeared to have cerebral palsy would often flirt with me when I walked around town. He would ask me how you were doing and if I replied, “I am fine”, he would come back with, “I know you are”! He once told me that he had a motorcycle accident. And “Laid down his bike”. He was very good looking. His flirting never got into creepy territory. At McDonald’s one day, I paid for the overage on a meal he didn’t have enough money to cover.

No it isn’t that simple.
There are tons of dramas about serial killers that are targeted at women. It isn’t some 1 in a million weirdo.

In addition to "Henry", there's "Day of the Nightmare", "Creature of Destruction, "Night of the Demon", "Specter of the Rose" (written and directed by Ben Hecht, who really should have known better), etc.
Movie-watching can't be all Rashomon and "The Rules of the Game".Replies: @Dumbo, @The Germ Theory of Disease
“Movie-watching can’t be all Rashomon and “The Rules of the Game”.
No, of course not. But it CAN be all “Diva” and “Grand Illusion” and Daffy Duck and “A Fist Full of Yen” and “Smiles of a Summer Night” and “Return of the Living Dead, Part Three.”
Actually I think both Rashomon and Regle du Jeu are both kind of tedious. But I just LOVE Erich von Stroheim threatening to shoot everybody in Grand Illusion, and it’s the same guy who made the other one!
As a very great writer who also bored a lot of people to smithereens once said, Well I guess you have try a bit of everything to find out what their planet is like.
I don’t know. I’ve been to the Griffith Observatory a lot, but I can’t recall developing a theory about it. If I had, my readers would be the first to know!

It wasn’t a ref about the Griffith Observatory, it was a ref about Bill Griffith, cartoonist and creator of Zippy the Pinhead. (One weirdo underground cartoonist to another. The Visigoths send their regards!)

Reminds me of the campaign to replace the term “STEM” with “STEAM”, where “A” is for Arts.
(In earlier times artsy people wouldn’t have liked being lumped together with geeks, nerds, and the like, but with all the money now being channeled into STEM, attitudes have apparently changed.)
They made a persuasive case that Berkowitz didn't act alone. He seems to have been a part of a powerful Satanic cult, which carried out various ritual murders. Interestingly, the Satanic cult was involved with narcotics distribution, child trafficking, violent sacrifices of animals, and very dark Occult rituals as well. Berkowitz ended up becoming the "fall guy" for the cult's various murders
The documentary also discussed the link between the Occultists who trained Berkowitz and Charles Manson.

The Vigilant Citizen had a good summary. In the Tweet below, you can see one of Charles Manson's girls performing that bizarre hand gesture (fingers twisted into a circle and placed over the eye) that has become so popular in Hollywood now.

There is a bizarre nexus that involves Satanic cults, murders, prostitution (especially of the very young), dark Occult rituals, Hollywood, and (most surprisingly of all) the intelligence agencies.
If you want to learn more, research Pizza Gate, Jeffrey Epstein, Boystown Omaha, and The Finders. Very weird stuff that often involves the most elite echelons of wealth, fame, and power.Replies: @Morton's toes, @Anonymous
That Belgian mass killer says the same thing. That he was just carrying out the instructions of rich/powerful people who made him take the fall when everything fell apart.

Hasn’t Adam Sandler taken over that “ecological niche” in Hollywood?
Although in real life, Mr. Sandler has a reputation for being a mensch whereas Mr. Levitch could be somewhat “difficult”?
I have reached similar conclusions about talk of ‘tolerance’ – viz., that it’s HR-tard lingo for ‘shut up‘.
After all, to tolerate a thing is not necessarily to accept it.
In battles of ideas, if I ‘tolerate’ an adversary, it’s like saying –
Why would anyone let someone else’s error go uncorrected? When the ‘someone else’ doesn’t matter.
Tolerance is actually really quite patronising (in the pejorative sense). ‘Agreeing to disagree’ is, too (or it’s an indication that the matter under dispute is irrelevant: in which case, why is it under dispute?).
That’s why I am intolerant: if I am reasonably certain that someone else is wrong, I see it as a moral duty to try to correct them.
Errare humanum est, in errore perseverare stultum.
To err is human; to persist in error is stupid.
My Latin’s not good enough to add the necessary third phrase: To permit another to persist in error is unethical – because it is consigning a person to continued ignorance, when it’s in your power to attempt to remedy it.
