A popular video game series which has an age rating of 12 has been slammed by critics after a recent update allowed for 'top surgery' scars that come from breast removal and chest binders to be added to characters.
*sighs* And of course, not one games journal has done anything but fawn over this.
Xbox supported the changes for a more inclusive game and said alongside a heart emoji: 'Vadish, we love it!'
'Vadish' also means 'thank you' in 'Simlish,' the made-up language that 'Sims' characters use to communicate.
Mashable said it was: 'an exciting addition for transgender and disabled fans.'
While gaming website Kotaku praised 'The Sims 4' for reaching out to disabled Simmers.
Is there no last bastion of pure entertainment unsullied by the woke agenda?
Rishi Sunak made five promises to the electorate, but the one upon which he will be judged is the last one. He said “Fifth, we will pass new laws to stop small boats, making sure that if you come to this country illegally, you are detained and swiftly removed.” The promise, which has certainly defeated all the alleged political expertise of the last four occupants, is certainly possible to achieve, but the promise itself is a typical political ploy, leaving out, as it does, the outstanding and inherently unstable illegal migrant population already present upon these shores.
The legal problems, partly brought upon by Labour’s importation of Europe’s ‘Human Rights’ laws, added to by the shadowy elephants in the room labelled ‘ECHR’ (European Court of Human Rights) and ECJ ( European Court of Justice), mean that, at the present moment, judges in Brussels can override British legal decisions; such as the barring of deportations of 85 foreign criminals just the other week.
At present, the loons in the Home Office are placing all our cash on a large bet that they will be told that the Rwanda Deportation idea will be found to be legal. But when anyone views the present regime in Rwanda with a jaundiced eye, it would seem to be deeply flawed. Also remembering that the Rwanda plan also gives Rwanda the right to send THEIR asylum seekers here, in a sort of Swap situation. (this was built in to the Rwanda plan, but given little attention)
Sturgeon is a perfect example of a young female ignoramus brainwashed early by marxists or pseudo-marxists ... what can one expect out of Govan?
In the same package are Caroline Flint, Julia Middleton, Joyce Thacker, Cressida Dick, Patricia Dunn of Hewlett Packard, Ardern in NZ, the Qld Premier some time back, Merkel.
There's a slightly different type ... Rebekah Brooks, Carly Fiorina, this Halley person in the US ... ambitious to the point of trampling anyone else, not an ideologue but just as dangerous.
Galloway is a marxist ideologue ... or was ... however, this was interesting from a stalinist:
In that context, his take on Sturgeon is interesting (via the good Ripper):

The damage such fashionable menaces cause is not wholly incalculable ... Galloway calculates it ... but there are the indefinables too, e.g. the effect on society of State Mentoring, i.e. a "named person" Breshneving every kid in Scotland, starting with those from broken homes.
In short, like Ardern, Sturgeon was an utter monster, a stooge for very dangerous ideologues.
I could have prophesied, immediately the news began circulating about the murder of a young man who was dressing as a girl, that his ‘friends’ were arranging a vigil to tell everyone about how sad they were, and they were going to be lighting candles, and ‘praying’ for him.
It seems to me that if only one tenth of all this proposed ‘remembrance’ activity had in fact been made to deterring the ‘bullies’ who made this troubled young man’s life a hell on earth, the outcome would, perhaps, have been less of a burden for this young man, who went by the name of Brianna Ghey.
The ONLY stance against bullies of any sort is direct action, possibly physical action; because all bullies are cowards. If the so-called ‘friends’ were even able to make the cowards lie low, it maybe would have made all the difference. All the singing, all the candles, all the ‘prayers’ mumbled, will not make one ha'porth of difference now, because the ‘targeted attack’ with knives carried by another young man and a young girl resulted in the death of the troubled youngster.
The ONLY thing achieved by these ridiculous ‘Vigils’ is a boom in profits of candle manufacturing. We now see these useless ‘vigils’ spreading all across the country, because attending a ‘vigil’ is possible the single thing which will certainly not make the slightest difference to any other attack, knife or otherwise, but will achieve lots of sage head nodding by the liberal left, who just ‘know’ that giving in, or staying silent, is always ‘safer’ than raising your voice, or your fists, in defence of the defenceless!
Inspectors found many of the 331 pupils at the primary 'turn to English naturally' when chatting and were not given enough chances to 'celebrate their Welshness'.
There's an '...or else!' hanging there, isn't there? Think about what they are actually saying - they want to force the children to do something unnatural.
Their report said: 'The quality of teaching is inconsistent.
'At times, work that is incorrect is marked as being correct and given positive comments.'
What happened to 'all must have prizes'..? Doesn't that translate well into Welsh?
The school will be checked every four to six months and given areas to improve.
Penarth consistently appears in lists of Britain's best places to live and is sought after for its seaside charm as well as its proximity to Cardiff.
Early in January, I commented, favourably, on the stance taken by some Twenty Republican House Representatives; which ended the tyrannical rule of the poisonous Pelosi, and which, eventually, brought about major change to the powers, and the actions, of the new Speaker of Congress’ House. Further actions and responses indicate that America has a slim chance to begin healing.
But I also reported, happily, on an idea, an installation, which echoes the best of America. It is, and was, conceived with a tiny leavening of genius, to go into the mind of a usually, ill-educated, more than likely to be, but not exclusively, black young woman who has become pregnant without truly understanding how that conception had come about.
Through the mass-marketing and grossly over-targeted adverts in both the MSM, and Online for such grisly organisations as the deceitfully named Planned Parenthood abortion mills, thousands of those foolish females walk through the ‘Parenthood’ doors, and onwards to the ‘killing floors’; where much of the Foetal Tissue remains of their aborted offspring are cleansed, sorted and stored before being sold onwards for ‘knowledge’, for ‘research’: but always for ‘Profit’.
But, fortunately, many young expectant, and possibly unwilling, mothers have seen through the lies and the easy words which promise an ending without pain or trauma to the unborn baby in their womb; knowing that in their own minds that truth which tells them that ‘killing babies is wrong’, and decide to proceed towards that birth, more than likely without access from financial support of the father of that foetus, and possibly without the support of a wider family network.
So we come to that ‘tiny leavening of genius’, which is the Safe Haven Baby Box. Safe Haven Baby Boxes founder and CEO Monica Kelsey said she came up with the idea for Safe Haven Baby Boxes “because officials were still finding dead, abandoned babies despite states having a Safe Haven law, allowing mothers to surrender newborns to hospitals and fire stations,” Firefighters in Bowling Green, Kentucky, last week found the first baby placed into their Safe Haven Baby Box, which was just installed in December. WBKO reported that an infant was left in the Safe Haven Baby Box at the Bowling Green Fire Department (BGFD) station on Lovers Lane.
The firefighters retrieved the child just a minute and a half after the box was used, WNKY noted. Monika Kelsey, held a press conference. Addressing the parents of the baby, she thanked the parents for looking out for the best interests of their child, per WNKY:
“Thank you for doing what you felt you could for the life of this child,” said Kelsey. “This baby is healthy. This baby is beautiful. This baby is perfect. And the Department of Child Services is now looking for a forever home for this family… If this parent is out there and they want the resources of counselling or medical care, it is available for you at no cost.”
So here’s to the onward march of the Safe Haven Baby Boxes. There should be one in every County, more in every American City. Let’s hope that the murder machines such as the deceitfully named Planned Parenthood abortion mills lose further income as the Supreme Court’s decision gave the right to decide upon Abortion back to the individual States, loose ever more ‘clients’ as such ideas like the ‘Baby Box’ gain more ground in the minds of America. And while we are indeed talking about Abortion, which has risen, disgracefully in my opinion, to Abortion upon Demand within these once ‘Sceptered Isles’ why don’t we see a Brit. Safe Baby Box programme within this once-United Kingdom?
One Eritrean asylum seeker who reluctantly agreed to move from the Greenwich hotel to the one in Bedfordshire, and did not join in with the protest, said he was distraught about the enforced move but felt he had no choice but to go.
“We came to the UK looking for freedom but the reality is not like that. I’ve lost my friends, my community, my college with this move. I’ve lost everything. The system is broken.”
A system that houses asylum seekers who come in illegally from safe countries, in the most expensive part of the country, and allows their claims to drag on for so long they put down roots, all at the expense of the poor bloody taxpayer, is irretrievably broken.
This is the second of two articles, started last evening. Hope you’re sleeping soundly, if on GMT.
That old chestnut about “might not know much about art but I know what I like” might be intended as a joke but I contend there’s much to it … that there’s an innate sense of proportion and “rightness”, such as Magritte, but also a disordered mind, such as Miro.
I’d contend that there’s clever juxtaposition, such as with Escher or even some of the Dada, thumbing its nose at proportion but at the same time, accepting that there are natural rules, codes which keep life possible.
One of the analyses of Stairway to Heaven was that even though that solo was wild and harsh, aching, even screaming, that only matched Plant and there were powerful “rules” imposed by Bonham and Jones on the whole. Now isn’t that weird … bad boys thumbing the nose, prancing about and wrecking things … but they themselves operated within very strict order, which they’d depart from … but always come back to.
The human mind (mine does anyway) rebels against being shoved into neat rows of boxes, it has to break out in order to breathe the free air, it simply must have angularity, lack of symmetry … just as in nature … it must go on chromatic adventures and explore, fill the space. My own home looks a mess, to the point that my “sunroom” was questioned by my mate, who asked if there was anything in those boxes I’d piled up in different places, whilst the centre ground was a cosy and colourful “den”, everything modular, parallel lines, to the point my matess demanded, “Where are the curves?”
On you, within you, darling … and how. Women are walking artforms, which is why they need to respect themselves, not mutilate themselves … mutilating themselves, ruining their minds which is what Woke feminazism has caused … it’s an offence against nature, no less than what’s being done to children now.
After all these words, I’m but saying there’s a happy medium but even that statement imprisons. There are boundaries set in rock, e.g. leave the children alone … and then boundaries which are to be pushed, even broken through … but even an old adventurer, an old sailor, returns to land eventually, just as Peer Gynt did and the Prodigal Son. The Eagles’ Desperado is all about that. Desperado is about too much freedom (that’s me) … Hotel California is about Chateau Marmant, about addiction to sicko, diseased souls, impossible to escape from unless there’s some redemptive way that can save imprisoned wretches like that.
Heavy metal is an offence to the soul, unless it has a distinct set of its own rules, such as with Du Hast. And no, I’m not playing any of it here.
Which brings me back to the original point … I’ll judge aesthetically and politically before I even start thinking of the morality. I will think of the morality for sure after that … we’re all doing that here, in a non-religious way … but the overwhelming, overriding driver for us is observing things and muttering: “No, that’s simply not right, you creeps. You need stringing up.”
There’s a natural order, unlike London’s now vile, modernist skyline, within which there’s a vast amount of freedom to move, bags and heaps of freedom … but there’s also a natural imperative, such as stopping that 14 year old girl being beaten to death by those thugs … and no one steps in en masse, they just film it on their phones.
I watched as a small, very special, piece of History was made yesterday. I watched as the House of Representatives, itself part of the Congress of the United States, voted to bar two Bills which had been voted into law by the Washington D.C. Council. One Bill was to give voting rights to non-citizens of the US; the other gave, amongst other lunacies, reduced sentences for various crimes. Both Bills were not only opposed by Washington’s Mayor, but also by the Chief of Police in Washington. But the liberal, left-wing led Council thought it knew better, and overrode the Mayor’s veto.
So the House, itself now assembling with a slim Republican majority, sat down, had a reasoned discussion, the way things used to be done in America, and then voted, within its powers as the overseer to the District, to veto and disallow both DC Laws. But here’s the thing which makes this vote so special, the Republicans were joined by 42 Democratic Members in the winning of one vote, and in the winning of the second vote, the Democratic votes which joined with the Republicans numbered 31.
It is, in itself, a tiny beginning; but it augurs well for Democracy within the Republic. With a Speaker who had to compromise on all his powers with a twenty-strong mix of Republican Representatives, before being himself elected; thus brushing away the almost tyrannical leadership of Pelosi, with sensible decisions returning to Committee memberships and positions, The House itself looks better by the day as a result.
Both D.C. decisions will now move forwards to the Senate, where the Democrats still hold sway, but even here the Democrats will not find it easy to block these Laws, because both are sensible, and both Laws attracted Opposition votes to the cause. Biden’s White House may still veto, but those who now move the president’s voice and pathways will not find a veto easy to stand.
As an Englishman, I liked President Trump when in office, he did what he could to make things better for America. As to his claims of election fraud, I believe that those claims should have been carefully examined in open court: maybe he was right, maybe not; but even as the months and years pass, and the various films and documentaries, with their evidence of tampering piled up, he should have at least been listened to.
But Trump’s huge shadow over Republican politics really did him, and America, no favours at all, because many of the 2022 mid-Term Election candidates which Trump favoured were not themselves favoured by the electorate: and the swing which so many polls hoped for never really arrived, which is why the Senate is still Democrat by numbers, and the House Republicans really depend upon everyone speaking with one voice to stay that slim majority.
But, in closing, I reckon that a swift glance at that YouTube video is still recommended, if only to allow the memory that ‘The Flag still Flies, o'er the Land of the Free, and the Home of the Brave.’
