Unable to sustain the "Tories Are Racist" narrative in the face of reality, *Guardian* commentators have pushed through to the other side, to join that last holdout skinhead at your local who no one wants to sit near: "Tories Are Giving Jobs To Incompetent Non-Whites." I haven't even got four paragraphs in, and the author has already gone with "How can he be an authentic Hindu? He wears suits not a loincloth."
Recent Conservative Cabinets have broken "progressive"'s minds so completely that they're now in Racist Granddad territory.

At least 7% of the Internet is devoted to apps that generate your pornstar name. But no one is asking how pornstar your name is already.

This simple quiz will tell you. For each question you answer yes to, add the listed points to your total score. 1. Do your first and second name begin with the same letter? 10pts

2. Could either of your names be construed to be sex-related?—eg could your Christian name be abbreviated to "Dick" or "Fanny"? 20pts

3. Does your name resemble that of an existing mainstream film star? 10pts

Twitter-searched the latest white female academic pretending to be brown for clout. One of the first hits was her giving a talk advocating a ban on standardized tests in schools in order "to remove the achievement gap". She is literally a white person calling brown people stupid. I cannot say it enough: Every time comfortably off "educationalists" abolish objective external academic criteria, whether standardized tests, phonics assessments, or grammar/spelling rules, it entrenches the advantages of their own at the expense of the poor and of immigrants.

Absolutely loving the one person on my timeline who is heroically doing a straightfaced musicological analysis of every song. "I-VI-II-V in B flat"
