Tom Junod - Wanker of the week

In Praise of 42-Year-Old Women - Esquire:

"Let's face it: There used to be something tragic about even the most beautiful forty-two-year-old woman. With half her life still ahead of her, she was deemed to be at the end of something—namely, everything society valued in her, other than her success as a mother. If she remained sexual, she was either predatory or desperate; if she remained beautiful, what gave her beauty force was the fact of its fading. And if she remained alone... well, then God help her."

Now, according to my research Tom Junod was born in 1958 which makes him a long fucking way over 42 and really not considered age appropriate for a 42 year old woman since under 5% of husbands are 14 years or older than their wives.

This is no better than a teen-ager saying that he would "tap that ass" about any celebrity. The difference is that Tom Junod gets to say this stupidity in the pages of Esquire and not on a Facebook page that a bunch of 10th graders read.

The Mantra - What a Steaming Pile of Stupid

ASIA FOR THE ASIANS, AFRICA FOR THE AFRICANS, WHITE COUNTRIES FOR EVERYBODY!
Everybody says there is this RACE problem. Everybody says this RACE problem will be solved when the third world pours into EVERY white country and ONLY into white countries.
The Netherlands and Belgium are just as crowded as Japan or Taiwan, but nobody says Japan or Taiwan will solve this RACE problem by bringing in millions of third worlders and quote assimilating unquote with them.
Everybody says the final solution to this RACE problem is for EVERY white country and ONLY white countries to “assimilate,” i.e., intermarry, with all those non-whites.
What if I said there was this RACE problem and this RACE problem would be solved only if hundreds of millions of non-blacks were brought into EVERY black country and ONLY into black countries?
How long would it take anyone to realize I’m not talking about a RACE problem. I am talking about the final solution to the BLACK problem?
And how long would it take any sane black man to notice this and what kind of psycho black man wouldn’t object to this?
But if I tell that obvious truth about the ongoing program of genocide against my race, the white race, Liberals and respectable conservatives agree that I am a naziwhowantstokillsixmillionjews.
They say they are anti-racist. What they are is anti-white.
Anti-racist is a code word for anti-white.

I am not going to link to the twerp that wrote this nonsense but will instead direct folks to Tim Wise's place for him to talk about it a bit.

TBogg on MGTOW

You too can talk like an embittered divorced white man with anger issues. Learn how now!: "I have developed a certain fondness for the men’s rights activists know as MRA’s, or more colloquially:  ‘Restraining-Order-Americans.’"

On Tinder and Foundational Myths

The Truth About Tinder and Women Is Even Worse Than You Think - Businessweek:

"’I'm sure Rad hates for anyone to know that. But the truth is the truth. Startups fail and succeed because of the real actions of their workers, not because of an agreed-upon myth created after the fact. Whitney Wolfe was part of the real creation of Tinder, and that deserves to be known."

The Wisdom of C-SPAN

Racists derail C-SPAN discussion on civil rights: ‘I think it’s time for white pride’:

“I think it’s time for white pride,” said one caller, who identified himself as “Joe in Ohio.” “We have built this country — Irish, Italians, Germans, Irish, wherever they have come from from Europe. No country in the world has produced what the white man has produced for every culture and race in America.”"

Yes, there really are some asshats out there that think like this. I would like to think that eventually they will die off but the evidence seems to be to the contrary,

Great News - BBC Science Reporting Edition

BBC staff told to stop inviting cranks on to science programmes - Telegraph:

"BBC journalists are being sent on courses to stop them inviting so many cranks onto programmes to air ‘marginal views’
The BBC Trust on Thursday published a progress report into the corporation’s science coverage which was criticised in 2012 for giving too much air-time to critics who oppose non-contentious issues.
The report found that there was still an ‘over-rigid application of editorial guidelines on impartiality’ which sought to give the ‘other side’ of the argument, even if that viewpoint was widely dismissed."

Now, we can only hope that this idea catches on over here. No, I am not holding my breath.
