Justin Timberlake is rebranding as a white man, according to somebody in something called The Outline: A powerline stretches across a backdrop of golden fields. A stem of grain cuts through the sun shining in an empty forest. Justin Timberlake is cold and alone in the woods, staring at something we can’t see. Now heContinue reading “Branded”

First they came for the leering studio heads and I did not speak out…
Google’s Eric Schmidt is the latest to fall to the sexual inquisition. It isn’t who they’re going after now, but what. Guys with anything to be pilfered away by the current frenzy had better not even think about cheating. Sort of takes all the point out of success: Schmidt is a known womanizer despite being marriedContinue reading “First they came for the leering studio heads and I did not speak out…”
Tongue Tied
New American problerms: It dangled from a branch for days, wrapped with bright ribbons and studded with large nails and oversize safety pins.It weathered and hardened from gray-black to a leathery brown. From a distance, as professionals and students walked past the tree at the west end of Palmer Square Park to trains and busesContinue reading “Tongue Tied”
Careful What You Bitch For
Feminism rescued woman from her dependence on men. Nevertheless she persisted. She keeps persisting away at depending on men. Beneath all the noise the ongoing Hollywood sexual harassment scandal documents the present of an age-old practice, women depending on sex to advance in male-dominated fields (and they’re all male-dominated). That’s why “male dominated fields” existContinue reading “Careful What You Bitch For”

Just Sayin’ you can’t Just Say That
Is this for real? Donald Trump retweeted three video clips of anti-white Muslim aggression, without comment. Instantly the news cycle was convulsed. Trump’s tweets course through the neural pathways of the system like dopamine. The outrage seized on the source, a British woman facing jail for speaking against Muslim immigration. Guilt by association always helpsContinue reading “Just Sayin’ you can’t Just Say That”
Lake–Oh You Gone
Did Garrison Keeler became the latest and unlikeliest casualty of 2017’s moral panic/political purge because of a defense of Al Franken in the Washington Post he published just yesterday? Al Franken…did USO tours overseas…the show he did was broad comedy of a sort that goes back to the Middle Ages…If you thought that Al stood outdoors atContinue reading “Lake–Oh You Gone”
The Last White Celebrity
Taylor Swift hasn’t come out and said she’s okay with being white, of course, but she hasn’t explicitly denied it either, and just look at her. There is something to the coincidence of the “Okay to be White” trolling and the renewed intensity of the anti-Swift movement now. Like the other components of the Left, blackContinue reading “The Last White Celebrity”
Cowboys and Insinuations
Congresswoman Frederica Wilson and allies have charged General Kelly’s “empty barrel” remark is racist. Everyone laughed: there’s no traditional connotation between the two. But I like to think Kelly’s opponents get it, just like I do: an “empty barrel” making a lot of noise is a black mediocrity making of herself a spectacle. Weary whitesContinue reading “Cowboys and Insinuations”
Grooming is Essential
A documentary about Hollywood’s boy problem, An Open Secret, is being shared on Vimeo because it can’t get a distributor, and it’s not hard to see why. It isn’t just that powerful people in Hollywood are threatened. The Narrative itself is threatened. At the center of the scandal is Mark Collins-Rector, who created something called theContinue reading “Grooming is Essential”
