There Are Only Six Books Written By Men

What I suggest instead, is that the rest of us just leave them to their white dude books and stop reading them. There are only six stories contained in all of them together anyway. Trust me, as a Ph.D. who had to read hundreds of books to win that useless string of letters, and then also just read hundreds more because I like to be holding something while I’m ignoring people, if you’ve read these six, then you have read them all:

My Beautiful Wife is Mentally Fragile, and I Drink Too Much by Men

That War Certainly Contained Elements of the Grimly Absurd by Men

It Was Hot in That Uncivilized Place, and the Weather is a Metaphor by Men

That War Certainly Taught Us Some Absolutely Universal for Everyone Things That Are Heartbreaking by Men

This Class System Is Oppressive Specifically and Only to Me, and I Drink Too Much by Men

I Would Very Much Like to Have Sex With Someone Who Does Not Want to Have Sex With Me, Causing Me, a Character Who Is a Middle-Aged Writer, to Think About Other Reasons I am Unhappy by Men

She will defend herself by saying she was just joking. I’m sure she’ll find this funny, then.

I Am Fat But My Protagonist Is Not: A Mary Sue Adventure by Women

Gossip and Shoes or Shoes and Gossip: I Recycle A Jane Austen Plot by Women

The Girl I Hated In High School Is Murdered In The First Chapter by Women

My Period: A Love Story by Women (Also published under the title: Daddy Issues)

My Boyfriend’s Gay And So Is Everyone In All These Fairy Tales by Women

The Only Interesting People Are Lesbians by Women

I’d be fine if women stopped reading books by men, commenting on books by men, constantly denigrating books by men, and stick to their segregated aisles of the book store. You won. You. Won. Now put away your sneer and fuck the fuck off.


 

DeSantis’ anti-riot law didn’t apply as Cuba protesters shut down a Miami-Dade road. Hmmm . . .

Gov. DeSantis should have just laid it on the line when a reporter asked about the scores of Cuban-American demonstrators and their supporters who shut down a portion of the Palmetto Expressway in Miami-Dade County.

Instead, he deflected, talking about protesters in Cuba.

Implicit in the question, however, was whether the governor’s vaunted anti-riot law — created in the wake of George Floyd demonstrations — would apply in the case of the demonstrators blocking streets and an expressway in Miami-Dade.

Their cause is righteous, of course — bringing down Cuba’s oppressive and regressive regime.

Florida’s misbegotten anti-riot law leaves even peaceful demonstrators subject to being arrested if a protest is arbitrarily deemed a “riot.” The law explicitly makes blocking a highway a felony offense. Worse, it gives civil legal immunity to people who drive through protesters who are blocking a road — basically, encouraging haters to do just that.

So, you are mad that a Governor you hate didn’t use a law you don’t like against a minority population that politically supports him and votes in high percentage?

Their cause is righteous, of course — bringing down Cuba’s oppressive and regressive regime.

Nice of you to concede that. Probably hurt, though.


 

Flight From Hell: Passengers Land In Stockton 17 Hours After Taking Off From Las Vegas

STOCKTON (CBS13) – For passengers on Allegiant Airlines flight 161, an hour-long flight turned into a 17-hour journey.

“It was absolutely horrible,” said Jade Watts, who was flying from Vegas to Stockton.

The flight was scheduled to arrive at Stockton Metropolitan Airport on Monday night at 9:30 p.m. They got in on Tuesday at 2 p.m.

Here’s what happened.

“The pilot comes on and says the control tower is closed,” said Watts.

The pilot couldn’t get ahold of anybody on the ground in Stockton.

“And they can’t land without a weather report,” she said.

So, the flight headed back to Las Vegas.

“He comes back on again and says there’s a thunderstorm in Vegas and zero visibility,” said Watts.

And what’s worse?

“They were concerned about gas so we have to go to the closest airport. Where are we going to freaking land?” she said.

Roughly 175 passengers were dropped off at LAX, eventually allowed to get off the plane.
