Herdwatching

Cat fight! Susannah Breslin over at True/Slant put up a post stating the obvious about the recent upswing in “trigger warning” silliness. Namely that 99% of the time the purpose of using a “trigger warning” is to make sure the readers of a particular blog who are drawn to stuff that annoys them* don’t miss [...]

As I was looking over some bookmarks I had stashed away for Herdwatching posts I realized most of them are simply not timely any more. However this one stands out as being worth a chuckle. You can almost hear the screams of horror, the OMFG, the hands slapping to foreheads as heart palpitations bring the [...]

Someone I never heard of before (Nine Deuce) at a blog I never heard of before called Rage Against the Man-chine put of a fairly amusing example of biased framing on the 27th. The SmackDog Chronicles refer to it as “The Sex Positive Male Challenge” and so will I. The basic core of Nine Deuce’s [...]

I know my political readership is a little bemused by these posts about the insane, but I enjoy them so. Think of these folks as a sort of mental health lolcat series.

Anyone who has been following the William and Mary College debate debacle as it unfolds knew this was coming. Let’s recap the situation*. W&M decide to hold debate W&M invite a number of folks who believe (basically) that women are to weak willed and easily lead to be able to make decisions about how to [...]

Update: Ren left a comment here and posted on her blog that the situation is in flux… it is possible her invitation will be honored. Thanks for the comment, I appreciate it! Recently Ren (of Renegade Evolution fame) announced that she had been invited to William and Mary College to participate in a debate focused [...]

One of the least interesting secrets in the blogosphere of late is the identity of the “unknown” author who Black Amazon was defending during her attack on Seal press. This is the dustup that resulted in the flouncing of feminist savior “Brownfemipower“*. What then was the evil, vile racist act that brought on so much [...]

Recently Seal Press has learned a lesson the the Democratic Party is learning as well. The lesson is simple… When you advance yourself by encouraging people to use their imagined victimization as a weapon, you know they will turn those weapons on you someday. Seal press sells a whole bunch of books that primarily feed [...]
