Saturday Night Hootenanny

So Les snoozed and losed. Congrats to tec, who correctly guessed they were all born under the sign of Sagittarius.

Can I feel good about this one or are you going to guess it before I post the videos?

On to the music.

Kvetch-Phrases: IMAO On the Cutting Edge of Acronyms

This article is ridiculous enough to merit mockery in its own right — wrong, actually — but I was taken with a nugget tucked into the last paragraph:

Environmental Activist Says Cheese is Racist, Dairy Shouldn’t Be Served in Schools
summit.news | 14 April, 2021 | Paul Joseph Watson

An environmental activist is petitioning her local council to remove cheese and other dairy products from the school menu because she claims the food items are “racist.”

Yes, really.

Extinction Rebellion member Alison Plaumer told local officials at a Brighton and Hove City Council meeting that dairy is racist because black people are more likely to be lactose intolerant.

“Arguably, there is a racist element to serving dairy too much because 65 per cent of the world’s population are lactose intolerant, many from the BAME (black, Asian and minority ethnic) community,” said Plaumer.

Yes, just when you were getting used to seeing the arbitrary silliness of “BIPOC” everywhere — which seems to have forgotten to add Q, B, L, and others at the end — Bam! Along comes the BAME of our existence.

And there’s another one out there in the wild, trying to become domesticated:

AAVE (African American Vernacular English).

Never heard it before, but suddenly it’s popping up in news story after news story. AAVE Maria!

Can just anyone make these up? I appeal to the MLPS community. I’ll make up words to go with that later.

Since there are millions of people while using social websites websites,
it will probably be a tough work for beginners to cultivate.
And buying Instagram followers with paypal can be quite a great improve to them.

Soooo you can just buy followers? Really? My oh my. And here I thought these “influencers” actually influenced actual people which means when they pout we should pout and when they say “whine” we say “How Loud?”! It’s all just make believe.

Damn Commies.
