This may be the last one. Perhaps the discipline of daily links is good for me, but I am avoiding self-improvement more and more these days.
West Shawnee Amusement Park Closed in 1966, the rusting rides are still there. Because there were deaths there, an incident from the area before the park was built was plucked out as the explanation for the curse which reportedly overshadows the place. A forensic psychologist discusses why we attach such stories to places.
From Fergus Mason's Substack Singer Ellie Goulding says protests against migrant hotels make her “ashamed to be British”.It’s all very well for her to say that, but Ellie Goulding lives in a six-bedroom country house surrounded by a big brick wall, and further surrounded by an area of the Cotswolds that’s at least 96% white.It’s easy and cost-free for Goulding to say we all have to tolerate migrant hotels - because her kids will never have to walk past one on the way to school.

Bill Maher: I know you think liberals want to destroy the family.
David Mamet: No, no. I don't think they want to destroy the family. I think they have destroyed the family.
Bill Maher: But they didn't really do it on purpose.
David Mamet: Wait a second. What you're saying is I didn't know it was loaded, right?
Bill Maher: Yes. Okay. But liberals actually think they're doing good. I know a lot of times it's really just about making them feel good, which is what's so obnoxious. But they're not actually trying to destroy...

Remember the 12 y/o Scottish girl who was charged after trying to defend herself and her friend against a man who tried to attack her and then taunted her? The video was shared by "right-wing" accounts on X who accused the man instead. Those accounts also identified him as a Bulgarian Roma immigrant. The Scottish police warned the public about "misinformation" being spread about the incident. Well, The man in question, Fatos Ali Dumana and his wife have now been charged. and yes he is a Bulgarian Roma immigrant.
Denmark has banned the burqa in schools as well as in public, stating it will promote adaptation to Danish culture. I get it, but I worry that it may have an opposite effect of keeping women farther out of view and girls away from school.

I have a tender conscience about feminism. At no time was I willing to surrender to traditional restrictions on women--but then, I never bore any children, either, and it's too late now. I certainly did not intend to contribute to either demographic collapse or the failure to transmit culture to the next generation.
We all have such things and I know the feeling well. I hope that my frequent reference to it does not cause you pain.
