  I’m not reproducing the long sententious letter all these people signed. (You can read it here if you want…) I’m listing the names so everyone can see them. I’m also asking some questions about the list, which will probably also occur to people who try to read all the names in order. But first, here’s the close of the letter and The List… ********** We speak together with one voice to demand that your companies create and enforce stronger content and ad policies to directly confront the content that is causing online and offline harm to transgender, non-binary, and gender non-conforming people.

  “The Road Not Taken” I’m departing from my custom here for two reasons. First, I mentioned W. E. B. DuBois in a FB post quite critical of Samuel L. Jackson. I know he’s a student of DuBois. It would be impossible to graduate from Morehouse College without studying him intensively. He is historically as important as other gifted black leaders of the 19th century because of his emphasis on superior education as the best way out of the deeps of poverty and disrespect suffered by former slaves in a largely (though hardly completely) hostile white world. His message was muddied in its interpretation by mass audiences because of  his fondness for Marxism as an economic model superior to land- and industry-based capitalism. He came to be known in many academic circles as “the road not taken.”  Both black and white Americans responded more easily to DuBois’s strategic rival, Booker T. Washington, who preached and exemplified success by the route of hard work, willingness to sta...

  The Sainted Martyrs of the Cause   Jeffrey Epstein/Harvey Weinberg, A Match Made in Hell. It has seemed to me that the ongoing programming of children In precocious sexual awareness and promulgation of gender confusion as a formal part of elementary and middle school education is not just a political assault on traditional family values.  It is also very likely that we have a very much larger incidence of pedophilic sexual obsession among the nation’s most wealthy and powerful men. All the talk of grooming is not rhetoric. It’s happening in hundreds of schools in dozens of states. Our elites have become nihilists. Even many so-called conservatives are involved in creating a new culture in which there are no real rights and wrongs. What adherents of Ayn Rand have never understood is that her famously attractive creed of self interest above all is the same kind of slippery slope that propels socialism through Marxism and Soviet Communism to absolute totalitarianism. The R...

  Dancing with Mr. D. Is it possible to be a Progressive Democrat and only half a dead man walking? I think so. That’s the nature of my interest in Alan Dershowitz. He is simultaneously an example of what was worthwhile about the American liberal tradition and what is so tragically wrong with the contemporary Progressive UniParty that is speeding the United States to ruin at terrifying speed. He is aware of this dichotomy in himself. Atypically for a man of his legal acumen, he flounders when he tries to provide advice and counsel during his  many televised interviews on the legal tornado surrounding Trump. He knows the kangaroo courts are wrong , perhaps horribly wrong, but he repeatedly falls back on his lifelong status as a Democrat and insists not only that he voted for Biden but intends to do so again. Which in a man of his reputed intellectual stature would be self-evidently absurd; Biden has always been stupid and inept and is now declining into physical and mental inca...

  Click the pic to enter Gayz Station. But don’t go anywhere YET. The biggest misconception about all the LGBTQetc activism we’re seeing these days is the unchallenged assumption that all of this little demimonde is news to the millions of dumbasses who are resisting its excesses. I can prove it. Back in 1999 I published a CD-based multimedia project that used videogame tools to satirize the state of American culture at the turn of the century. It was called Shuteye Town 1999 . It was huge and like so much of what occurs without serious scrutiny, it was all underground. There was a mall with about 20 stores (including books, videos, and faces/bodies), more than 40 subway stations, dozens of TV shows on multiple cable networks, homes, apartments, hotels, hospitals, police stations, prisons, business and government complexes, an airport, a huge sports arena, a university, as well as a bunch of ATMs and restrooms and ST99’s own version of the Internet. All of this exists in the final ...

  Visit Shuteye Nation on the Intertubes [Be sure not to miss the UPDATE below.] Almost unbelievably the links in the texts below still work to connect you with other sections of Shuteye Nation. Highlighted names generally go to other entries in Who’s Who, the Gazetteers, or elsewhere. The degree signs (little circles) associated with certain words lead to definitions of those terms in The Glossary. Hope you enjoy the ride.
