The New Face of PacSun Is a Virtual Woman, Because Real Ones Just Won’t Do
We appear to have reached a new, more advanced tier of the metaverse, in which the powers that be (aka PacSun marketing execs) have decided that us lowly human beings should take fashion advice from someone (something?) that doesn’t actually exist. The storied leisurewear store has announced that its newest spokes-thing will be Miquela (aka Lil Miquela), a perpetually 19-year-old “virtual influencer” who only exists online.Miquela, who will primarily be collaborating with the brand on back-to-school and holiday campaigns, was one of Time’s “Most Influential People on the Internet” way back in 2018. Her staying power—and her 3 million Instagram followers—are likely what PacSun was after. She was invented (created?) in 2016 by the Los Angeles-based computer software firm Brud, and was collaborating with brands as big as Prada by 2018. She also appeared in ads for Calvin Klein (where her lip lock with model Gigi Hadid caused backlash for its “queerbaiting”) and Dior. According to Input, among Miquela’s biggest appeals are that “she’ll never age, clothes will always fit her perfectly in advertisements, and she’ll always do exactly what you ask of her.” Super! We’re back to wishing women were brainless and blindly obedient—but this time, there’s a dark 21st century twist.
If your brain is still glitching about trying to understand this, you’re not alone. I, for one, have a few questions: How can a robot who only exists on the internet be any years old? Who is actually speaking when she posts online? How can she call herself an “LA native” when she doesn’t actually live anywhere? How is she taking pictures with (famous) human beings (and don’t said humans feel kind of silly posing for it)? And most of all: Why on earth are we taking advice from someone who doesn’t actually, materially, in a fleshly human way, exist!?
Jezebel really answers their own question here. Why would you want a perpetually young, obedient brand model rather than, well, a harridan? And, of course, it’s rich for an outlet to that employs so many transwoman to complain about an ersatz female.

Doctors are warning against a new viral TikTok trend that sees single women use their vaginal discharge as perfume.
‘Vabbing’ — which involves smearing fluid behind the ears and neck — was made popular by American Tiktokker Mandy Lee whose original video racked up 1.5million views.
Proponents claim it increases the chance of attracting men, by spreading their pheromones — chemicals made by the body to attract mates in some animals.
But doctors say there is little evidence to support this works the same way in humans and warn the trend carries serious risks of vaginal infections, including thrush.
Dr Paraskevi Dimitriadi, a private gynaecologist in London, told MailOnline it could also lead to problems with fertility.
Bacteria on women’s fingers can lead pelvic inflammatory disease, where the bugs spread from the cervix to organs higher up, Dr Dimitriadi said.
This can lead to scarring in the fallopian tubes, making it difficult for fertilised eggs to reach the womb.
Was Ms. PacMan a virtual women?
I don’t know. Did she ever get eaten by Mr. PacMan?
Queerbaiting? If they are big hairy guys is it bear baiting?
You’re done with that pic-a-nic basket, right?

It was the virtual woman vabbin’ that done him in.
That combined with the field of vegetative Amy Schumers.
That’s all too common these daze.

I thought something smelled fishy.
A ridiculous comment, as if women never have a little fun by themselves.

No WAY!
That just got better and better.

So when men do it, is it sacking?
Yes. They’re even forming competitive teams in some parts of the country. One of the first teams formed, as I saw in a documentary I was watching the other day, was the Florida State Seminal Vesicles.
Related.
I was disappointed when I learned that USC was leaving the Pac-12 for the Big Ten. Since Oregon State remains in the Pac-12, the annual meeting of the Trojans and the Beavers is now a thing of the past.
Oregon State just needs to join the SEC so they can play South Carolina. 😉
Yeah, the idea that men’s fingers, which routinely go in vaginas, who’s kidding who, are cleaner than the fingers of women is utterly stupid.
“Bacteria on women’s fingers can lead pelvic inflammatory disease, where the bugs spread from the cervix to organs higher up, Dr Dimitriadi said.”
I’m sure plenty of women are already touching their hoo-ha for other reasons.
And she should know!
At first I thought they might be a man since I’m unfamiliar with Greek (?) naming conventions.
Vaginoplasty is the cosmetic surgery which some M2F trans people get.
Can transwomen still vab? Pretty transphobic if they can’t.
Well, most of them are non-op, which would be a sticky situation.
Fuck me that’s a great song. Thanks, Sug!

Oh, deer.
The Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources is warning the public of an infectious disease outbreak that has caused a number of deer deaths across the Commonwealth, many occurring in the Piedmont region.
Known as hemorrhagic disease, the department said the infection commonly affects white-tailed deer, with outbreaks occurring annually in the Southeast and in Virginia east of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Outbreaks of the disease are often seen with otherwise healthy-looking deer being found dead, or close to death, laying in cool dirt in a wetland or near/in the water during late summer or early fall. The Department of Wildlife Resources said the disease causes the deer to run a high fever, so the infected animals tend to seek out the cooling relief of damp and cold soil.
Deer Ebola?
Ebolapox. You only catch it from having sex in cars.
You got Deerbola?
Now you’re bucked!
Wasn’t CWD bad enough?
Luckily this is much faster acting and has a more typical life cycle that doesn’t involve prions. These are more like a flu outbreak (but in the summer) than CWD.
North Dakota cancelled their whitetail season last fall and offered refunds for people holding tags due to EHD.
I’m aware of it down here in SE VA.
I’ve got a friend who works for the counties to remove problem animals and he’s come across small herds all dead in a pond.

I thought we weren’t supposed to use the “war” word.
“Look, I suspect she’s not being coy. I do not think she knows what form that is going to take, whether that will be a presidential campaign, or some kind of a citizen’s movement, like an anti-war movement, in this case, an anti-Trump movement. The other thing I would say is in the Civil War. She declared war on Donald Trump and Donald Trump’s Republican Party. She specifically called on Americans not to vote for the dozens of election deniers who have won Republican nominations for the governorship or the secretary of state roles in various states, which would have a dramatic role in 2024 in whether or not elections are certified are not.”
She lost by 40 points, but clearly the people want her.
The deplorable denizens of WY don’t count.
“Election Denier”. Yes, I deny that there was an election.

And that “vab” thing – maybe the other Gliberinas of my age can back me up on this, but I think that fad went around before. Maybe it was a Cosmo tip or something early 90s? Same specious theory about pheromones.
I’m certain it showed up in some 80’s or 90’s grocery store checkout magazines every week as “this trick will drive your guy wild”.
I stopped reading Cosmo when I realized it was running the same articles and pictures over again.
Did they hire Barry Allen as an editor? Real Cosmo Treadmill from the sound of it.
I never thought it would happen to me, but I felt the same way about Penthouse.
What you did, there…
Was it you who mentioned books by the guy for zero tax, and I had gone to high school with him?
Because he published a few fake letters in Penthouse also.
Nope, not me.
That fad has been around at least since the 1700s in Europe. It was also supposed to work as a fixative for other perfume.
Today is a day for ambient spa music and gratitude exercises. Amongst all the other (not lovely) drama in my life, last night, XY’s boss backed into my car so it is cautiously undriveable.

My question is, are the authors here at Glibs following the AP Style?
https://mobile.twitter.com/APStylebook/status/1559904542900293638
Fiction follows Chicago style.
Chicago style is good pizza.
Now, that is deep.
I’m going to award a rare second [golf clap] here.
For those who don’t know, the AP (Associated Press) style manual is the defacto standard for journalism, the University of Chicago Manual of style is the common standard for general writing, and the APA (American Psychological Association) Style Guide looms large over academic publishing.
Why the APA, you ask? At one time each academic discipline had its own style manual. That led to chaos for publishing interdisciplinary studies, and much pain and suffering for college students who were expected to submit papers using the style manual for whatever discipline they were writing a paper for.
At some point (late seventies or early eighties) academia made a rare show of getting its shit together and decided that the APA style manual was the most robust and easiest to use and adopted that as the standard for academic publishing.
Dissent: CMOS still rules History.
Ah, good to know. I was speaking from memory because I was in college when that happened.
Apparently the MLA (Modern Language Association) still rules over parts of academia.

The suggestion has prompted one MEP to accuse Brussels of “using any excuse to grab more power”, with the union’s green agenda policy having already resulted in chaotic scenes in the likes of the Netherlands.

“I also want to remind my fellow Republicans, we can hold the attorney general accountable for the decision he made without attacking the rank-and-file law enforcement personnel at the FBI,” he said at the Politics & Eggs event, a breakfast gathering at St. Anselm College for business leaders that has become a customary stop for White House hopefuls in the early-voting state.
“The Republican Party is the party of law and order,” Pence continued. “Our party stands with the men and women who stand on the thin blue line at the federal and state and local level, and these attacks on the FBI must stop. Calls to defund the FBI are just as wrong as calls to defund the police.”
Closeted, neocon cunte. ///NuclearMAGA
Squishy as Mittens.
Calls to defund the FBI are just as wrong as calls to defund the police.
One of those things is not like the other one. Progressive activists were calling to defund all police, everywhere. The call to defund the FBI is specific to one federal law enforcement entity which is increasingly acting like the political police in a totalitarian state. The “party of law and order” would do well to support actual law and order, which includes prosecuting and firing government employees who break the law.

“I’ll make a decision in the coming months.” — Rep. Liz Cheney said about possibly running for President.
Oh boy, someone believes their own press releases.
She may announce it — but I put more stock in the reports from this morning that she’s starting a grifting PAC ala The Lincoln Project.
Frankly, wouldn’t be at all surprised if they merge. Of course, I also wouldn’t be surprised if those geniuses are getting their khaki brigades and their funding from the same Three Letter Agencies.
I suspect she will run as an independent, with backing from both the never-Trump GOP and covert backing from Democrats. The net effect of this will be to ensure that the Democrats retain control of the Executive branch.
It won’t matter. The two parties have made it mostly impossible for an independent to get on the ballot in all 50 states. She would need to go via some minor party that already has ballot access in the big population states.
Perot had a weird charisma that let him get on all the ballots the first time. And he used that charisma during the debates. He was shut out of the debates the second time and was a not factor in that election.
The two parties will never let another independent get enough access to be a factor in a presidential election.
And she has no charisma that I am aware of.
Imagine how Perot would have done with ranked choice voting.
Disqualified in round 1?
Probably, but see below.
Perot finished 2nd in Utah and Maine. So that is a possible 9 electoral votes. Did I miss any states?
In theory, he was in 3rd in (almost?) every state, so the question is who his voters 2nd choice was (polling suggests 50/50 split, I question that). But, in a world with ranked choice voting, how many people would have voted for him first and then their “realistic” preference second?
Enough that he finishes second in enough states and collects enough from third place to win enough states to throw election into the House?
I think any campaign of hers would be as effective as Avinotti’s. If she gets kicked out of the J6 club, she will have zero friends anywhere as she will be of zero use.

Failure
CDC Director Rochelle Walensky is reorganizing the agency, saying it didn’t react quickly enough during the Covid pandemic, according an internal review of the agency’s operations released on Wednesday.
Walensky laid out several organizational changes the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will take over the coming months to correct missteps and failures that occurred during the last 2.5 years of the pandemic, according to a fact sheet.
“For 75 years, CDC and public health have been preparing for COVID-19, and in our big moment, our performance did not reliably meet expectations,” Walensky said in a statement. “My goal is a new, public health action-oriented culture at CDC that emphasizes accountability, collaboration, communication, and timeliness.”
The central objectives of the reorganization are focused on sharing scientific data faster and making it easier for the public to understand health guidance, according to the briefing document. Walensky launched the review in April after the massive winter surge of infections from the omicron variant upended the nation’s public health response.
“We just didn’t fail hard enough.”
How about this? Mass ritual suicide.
The cat responds.
Gato is the best.
Translation: we didn’t put the boot down hard or fast enough and no one expects the CDC to be an enforcement agency. Now we will be. Lick that boot.
This comes right after that BS Bill was signed? What’s in it that affects the CDC?
Dissolve it, raze the buildings, salt the earth

“My goal is a new, public health action-oriented culture at CDC that emphasizes accountability, collaboration, communication, and timeliness. I look forward to working with the incredible people at CDC and our partners to realize the agency’s fullest potential to benefit the health and well-being of all Americans,” Walensky said in a statement on Wednesday.
——-
The changes will be aimed at improving the culture and restoring public trust after the agency’s acknowledged missteps in its response to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The reforms follow a period of review and introspection at the CDC. In April, Walensky announced Jim Macrae, an administrator at the US Department of Health and Human Services, would lead a one-month review of the agency’s Covid-19 response efforts. At the same time, she charged three of her deputies to scrutinize operations and recommend strategic changes. Walensky has been meeting with groups of staff in person as employees return to their office after months of remote work.

When I purchased the land, the town had a wishlist line for an expansion of the interstate exchange, but it was non-binding. I had verified it with the planning office at the time. No official easement on file.
Now, years later, I’ve got the land under contract for sale and apparently the town has decided that line is binding. At no time was I notified of a change because I would have sought compensation from them for a taking.
I’m getting the info third-hand from a civil engineer, so now I’ve got to go back to the town planning office for what is probably going to be an unpleasant experience for everyone involved. They’re blowing up my sale of the land.
That sucks.
Give them hell and hopefully it doesn’t cost you a ton. Lawyers ain’t cheap.
There is the possibility that the engineer didn’t verify the easement directly and made an assumption. I’m going to go with that hope for the moment.

This dog is a doppelgänger for our Daisy that died a couple months ago. Identical looks and mannerisms. It actually freaked me out at first.
Aww. A magnificent beast.
“California gender clinic treats patients as young as 2-years-old
Mental health director Diane Ehrensaft said that at UCSF they “see children as young as two and as old as 25.” Ehrensaft describes her own child as “gender creative.”
UCSF explicitly adheres to the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) guidelines, which recommends that children as young as 8 could begin medical transition. WPATH is set to release its new 8th edition guidelines this year, which plans to lower the minimum age for teens to obtain hormones, as well as face, chest, and genital surgeries.”

People need to gather their farm implements.
The inevitable reactionary wave is not going to be kind to these ghouls and I won’t have any sympathy for them.
Unfortunately, by then, the backash will also be against trans adults.
It will. You’d think more of them would realize that and stop supporting this crap.
It’s not trans people that are supporting this, it’s radical leftists. Yes, that includes some trans people, but most trans people aren’t that into politics, just like most non-trans people aren’t that into politics. Blaming trans people is like blaming black people for BLM.
Fair enough, but if I don’t see it as obvious that they are two separate groups, there’s no way the general populace will.
And the comparison to blacks and BLM is not completely apt. You’re born black. Transitioning is at some point a choice, that makes the distinguishing between the two groups even more difficult.
“Fair enough, but if I don’t see it as obvious that they are two separate groups, there’s no way the general populace will.”
Yes, that’s a big part of the problem.
This.
“”If a child is not feeling seen about who they are, they’re at risk for some pretty serious psychological problems, including anxiety, depression, even suicidal thoughts,” said Ehrensaft, referring to the debunked affirm-or-suicide myth used to pressure parents into green lighting their child’s transition under the threat of suicide.
A clinical diagnosis of persistent gender dysphoria isn’t even necessary. Aside from transgender patients, UCSF also treats children they describe as “gender creative,” “gender diverse” and “gender-expansive.””
Perhaps if the children didn’t have adults whispering weird ideas into their ears, they wouldn’t be quite so confused.
These sick bastards are seeking affirmation and validation for their own choices and using kids to get it.
They deemed a clinical diagnosis of persistent gender dysphoria isn’t necessary, because that’s something impossible to diagnose in a child.
No matter what they say, the child doesn’t actually matter to them. Pushing their completely postmodern worldview however…
Yes, it’s politics, not medicine.
“In this video Christy Olezeski, PhD admits that Yale Medicine is treating kids as young as 3 YEARS OLD in their “gender journey”. She’s the co-founder of the Yale Pediatric Gender Program. 3 YEAR OLDS should not be led to change genders! Leave them alone”

Eyes a little bit too wide open. Creepy ass smile while using euphemisms for surgical mutilation and chemical castration.
She’s a fucking loon.
I thought you were talking about Cheney.
Also, as usual, TMITE:
“Children’s hospitals: “We do puberty blockers and genital surgeries for children.”
Journos: “Yasss! Gender-affirming care!” 🎉
Conservatives: “They do puberty blockers and genital surgeries for children.”
Journos: “Wow, that’s targeted harassment and stochastic terrorism!” 😡”

I have come across a girl who presents as a boy whom I know enough about to suspect her real problem is that she just hates her body and wants to call as little attention to it as possible.
It’s endemic among adolescent girls.
Well more than half of my 15 year old daughters acquaintances and friends identify as bi or non-binary or something else.
It’s obviously a psychological social contagion and pushing medical treatment as a solution is insane and evil.
Exactly.
It’s all part of a communist plot.
If our elites were practicing actual child sacrifice to Baal or Moloch, how would we know?
