At least I smiled! I couldn't even read the last two posts because they were SO sickening! But I go right back to one of the books I'm currently reading, Overshoot by William Catton. As species overshoot their environment -- and as humans we are not immune to what happens to other species that overpopulate and degrade their environment -- their care for their young becomes inept and casual.
It is interesting (but sometimes jarring as it was written in 1980), and he writes that norms of behavior are breached as the social fabric becomes frayed.
I read this comment by Laura Perrins (from an interview she did with the Irish Independent four years ago) that seems to me to have more than an element of truth to it:
“Perrins links the fragile "snowflake" sensibilities of millennials with increasing hours in childcare. "This generation of students were probably the first to be put in heavy-duty long hours in nursery care. And this, dear reader is what we produce. Not robust adults thirsting for challenge and rigour, but tender toddler-adults making obscene demands and throwing tantrums when denied it."
I would like to suggest - if I may - perhaps one of the most informative books I have ever read: 'The Coddling of the American Mind' by Jonathan Haidt and Gregg Lukianoff. It covers this very well indeed all the way up to University and college level and goes onto to describe the resultant pathetically bad behaviour at Evergreen and Brown colleges.
Inability to attach to another human in a meaningful way is a direct reflection on the inadequacies of childcare. This has been further damaged by the increase in retirement age of women. It is yet to prove that by making grannies and aunties work until their late sixties, valuable family ties are not being forged in the way they traditionally were. No one in parliament was aware of the vast amount of time that women spent in retirement taking care of small relatives. Tragic.
I don't usually agree with you, but this makes sense. In addition to the sparse attention available in childcare, many of the parents who use such facilities then feel guilty and are over-indulgent when their children are home.
I watched ‘New Discourses, Groomer Schools 4: Drag Queen Story Hour’ the other night. New Discourses is James Lindsey’s channel. Drag queen story hour was quite informative.
"Rainbow Reich". Couldn't have said it better myself. I'd love to see an image of Neville Chamberlain arriving back from Munich waving a pronoun badge.
I'm surprised at this. Mole usually alters the photos in some way...
I know, I was surprised too 🤔
Not as surprised as I am, I assure you...
I just noticed the clowns on the phone/camera screen! Silly me.

That sounds interesting actually...

It is well worth a look and very recent.
Thanks, Moley! I'll check it out.

Yes, doing that now. But I raised my daughter to want a career, now she is constantly torn in 2 directions.

I knew people would believe this one was real. How do you parody that which is already parody?
There is rather a large clue in the foreground of course, but I think most have missed that!
It’s a cock and balls story!
Excellent
I see Sturgeon is claiming to be she/her. What a lying (little) dickhead.
I have heard her announce that on a speech... before she actually said anything of note. I have a screen shot of the subtitles.
Less dicks more spine required.

So Mole... Which one is yours..please tell me it's all of it?
Are they really pointing out they are dicks?😳🙄
They are all holding signs up with lovely, delightfully inclusive, diverse and inclusively diverse rainbow.... errr...
*checks notes*
.... TIES on.
Hahaha, love it!
Lovely work!
Graham, is that real?
Looks like meat and two veg, Rainbow Reich coloured!

Very subtle! :-)
Sneezed my weeties after zooming in, laughing at the clowns in phone camera viewer. Nice attention to detail.
A bunch of pricks then? Who’d have guessed.
