      OK so I have to admit I must have watched this movie 10 times already.  It is a comedic gem.  Offbeat, different and a little silly.  This British comedy about Salsa dancing is just firggen hilarious.  Do yourself a favor and watch it.

      Why the woke can NEVER take icon ownership over Bayonetta (Spoiler warning for the first 2 Bayonetta games)

      For a long time now, we gamers, have been thoroughly enjoying video game content for over decades now without ever questioning the heroism or identity of the characters we play in our games. We played Mario without even caring that he’s an Italian plumber or Donkey Kong who was banana craving ape jumping on King K. Rools minions, we just enjoyed our games and had fun. In more recent history, however, we have slowly seen our content being taken over by the mainstream media and pushing to make it popular and more “inclusive” to people whom the false media narrative supporters claim is considered “marginalized” in our gaming community.
      As these false narratives are galvanizing wokesters, we are continuously being falsely accused of being bigots and other nasty buzzwords the ‘woke activists’ like to use to justify their demonizing, zealous, and overall ignorant behaviors towards the gaming community. With their backward ideology, they have pitted gamers against each other and used the opportunity to make claims on characters for being associated with the groups they deemed “marginalized.” In this case, I am referring to our hot topic at hand: Bayonetta.
      As social media had a recent meltdown over one of the most disrespectful spoilers in video game history, heterophobia sweeps the internet as the woke activists makes false claims of “Bayonetta being iconically gay” while she kisses a male character… Shortly after hearing this news, in the most laughable take the delusional wokesters have ‘magically’ made up, I simply stated “since when?” I decided to do what any REAL GAMER would do and replay through Bayonetta leading up to the third installment to understand why they think Bayonetta is a “strictly gay character.”
      This makes me ask a very strong question since when do certain groups get to claim “exclusivity” to a video game character? The point of a video game character is to be fun and likable for everyone to enjoy, in one buzzword that the woke certainly enjoy misusing: “inclusive.” As I begin to play, I remember my first playthrough on PS3, how much fun the gameplay was, and immediately forgot all the false narratives recently surrounding the character as I re-immersed myself into the story of this Umbra Witch and remember why her game was always a character for EVERYONE.
      As I begin to play Bayonetta on the Switch, I am introduced to the wonderful opening about a dead character named “Eggman” (Immediately noticing Sega’s references) and a woman clad in a white nun outfit, reading hymns from a bible while Enzo (the best Joe Pesci impersonator) is asking for the “Nun” to hurry up since it’s raining and he wants to make it back home to his family while mocking the heavens. As he walks away, a heavenly light appears behind him as he begs for forgiveness and hides behind a tombstone as our Nun shows her true colors. This iconic cinematic is what brings us to the true introduction to our Anti-Heroine whose quick-witted responses are reminiscent of something you’d see out of a Tarantino film. An iconic moment for Bayonetta, Sega, and Platinum Games.

      As you play through that first level, you are introduced to Rodin, A tough-looking, No-Nonsense bad MFer with a deep voice and tattoos, this guy is your Weapons Dealer…FROM HELL! This character also reminds me of Tarantino films as Rodin has these suave characteristics, with sadistic undertones that make him an iconic character in his own right. As you complete this level, you’re introduced to the store mechanics, fight mechanics, and really what this story is going to be about while giving you some loose storytelling from the little files you find around each level.
      As you move forward in the gameplay, you are introduced to Jeanee, A blonde equivalent to Bayonetta who appears to know her past, rather than being friends she’s more of an obstacle than a comrade. What happened those 500 years ago? Bayonetta doesn’t know any more than you do, but something is made clear throughout the game. Despite, Jeanee being in the game and her hidden friendship with Bayonetta, Bayonetta herself spends an awful lot of time around men in the first game. Rarely do we ever see her react with any other characters than men.
      Even when you take into account the fights and team-ups with Jeanee, she continuously hangs around guys like Enzo, Rodin, and Luka. Luka is the only male character Bayonetta gives an intimate nickname to, Calling him “Cheshire” as in Alice in Wonderland, Cheshire Cat. He’s also the only character who both gives and receives intimate/humorous moments from Bayonetta. At what point does the Alphabet Brigade think they have claims to Bayonetta’s sexual identity when I can’t even find a real example beyond the few “close body” fight scenes with Jeanee?

      After I beat Bayonetta and find out her Dad/Lumen Sage was behind the big lead for the search of “The eyes of the World” (My brain just keeps going JoJo reference), I make my way to Bayonetta 2 with the first level hanging around with (You guessed it) Enzo again. The weird relationship these two have is a constant slapstick joke with Bayonetta getting Enzo to carry luggage around for her stuff while he shops for his kids presents on Christmas. We cut into the story further with Bayonetta catching up with, A now long-haired beauty, Jeanee who drops by to talk about a “disturbance between the three realities” and demons and angels becoming restless.
      The story starts its battle with Enzo purchasing a Jet when the “platinum jets” flew by for his kids and (not shockingly enough) a jet begins to crash into the store. As the battle ensues, Bayonetta needs her trusty tetrad set of guns since the ones she bought were ‘cheap purchases’, and sure enough: Rodin, Satan’s Santa approaches bearing arms of Christmas cheer for convenience to the plot and gameplay. Shortly after the big fight and your final summon kills the enemy, You then see your dear friend Jeanee push you out of the way as she is killed and sent straight to hell before your eyes as you now have to fight the demon you just summoned to finish your first boss fight.
      And ya know, for a game that the woke audience iconically sees Bayonetta gay, she sure spends a lot of time around men. It seems too convenient to just have Jeanee out of commission so quickly too. This brings me to the primary plot of the story: Your goal is to rescue Jeanee from hell before her body decays and her rescue becomes unsalvageable. Is this a rescue the princess twist or is it just doing what good friends do for each other when they’re in a bind this whole time throughout Bayonetta, She only refers to Jeanee as a friend.
      To drive this point home, let’s break down Bayonetta as a character: Bayonetta is not a character that has a sense of shame and although she keeps many things to herself, she’s never shy about expressing herself either. So even if wokesters who want to argue “oh it’s coded language” or ” Oh Bayonetta comes off as too butch” the fact remains: Since when does Bayonetta care about judgment from other people or has a sense of shame? The answer is: Never. Jeanee, at heart, is just a friend to Bayonetta, and wokesters that deliberately misinterpreted, are not the real fans of Bayonetta.
      As I finish Bayonetta 2, I still see that throughout the entire game, we barely see Bayonetta interacting with any women on an intimate or personal level, only the men she comes across, including the God of Chaos (who gives a kiss of life to Bayonetta). The game finishes with Loki defeating his evil half with the help of Bayonetta and Balder from the past who takes in the pure evil spirit of Loki’s evil side (Aesir) and gets flung back to his original timeline which corrects the entire timeline for Bayonetta’s first game to make sense. The only brief moments Bayonetta even comes close to an intimate moment is when she humorously phrases “Do you need a kiss to wake you up?” to Jeanee who is waking up from hell itself to be returned to her body.
      I even bothered to look up any hidden cutscenes on YouTube to see if there was any extra content that the woke make try to use to discredit my findings in the games, and sure enough, NO HIDDEN CUTSCENES. So even when I finish Bayonetta 2, We see ZERO same-sex interaction with Jeanee or any woman for that matter. This ultimately leads to the question that the woke mob continuously makes false claims time after time: “Where do you see Bayonetta being sexually attracted to women?”
      The answer is simple: None. The woke mob just made another false statement about a video game character without doing ANY RESEARCH or playing ANY BAYONETTA GAMES. Now I know asking for common sense out of the regressive thinkers the left has provided is like asking chickens to lay golden eggs, but at what point will these video game developers start to realize that the left doesn’t play or buy video games that they’ve falsely claimed to enjoy? At this point, we the real gamers, need to start calling these liars out and asking for proof that they played the games they claim to enjoy before we even start taking them seriously at this point because a real gamer has no shame in showing the hours they played. Thankfully you can see that when you look at your play time on your consoles.
      To finish this article, I would like to finish up my overall review of playing Bayonetta 1+2. The Bayonetta series as a whole is more of a continued gameplay style to games like Devil May Cry, Action Beat-em-Ups that require quick-timed reactions and over-the-top display of character power. Bayonetta, by all means, isn’t a game you’d just play for the story as most of the story is confined to reading and cutscenes. The story doesn’t have the tightest structure as far as making perfect sense but makes up for it by how well the characters fly out at you with their quirks and characteristics.
      Bayonetta is the all-too-OP witch that she is and the attitude to match, Jeanee is the second-best follow-up, Enzo is the loud-mouth Joe Pesci Impersonator, Rodin is the slick fallen angel/demon weapons dealer, and Luka is our journalist chasing after his stories and telling the stories he’s uncovered without redacting or omitting a single detail.(Kotaku and other media outlets could learn a thing or two from Luka). These characters are what makes these games great and without them being as they are, the game would be utterly boring.
      Even the story of how Bayonetta’s parents were of two opposite clans of magical power, The love they shared, how the Witch’s and Sages both ended tragically by the angels of Paradiso’s agenda to control the Eyes of the World, The mislead Baldur, and the legacy he left behind were all such big moments of the story to Bayonetta’s history. I caught a tear at how tragic her story as a character actually is when you see how her family and clan were torn apart. We see the closure of Bayonetta’s past with her father and how he was a hero who self-inflicted himself with evil to save humanity(Even fulfilled her dad’s request to be called “daddy”), Rosa/Bayonetta’s mom, whose life was cut tragically short by Loki’s evil half, The love child that they raised and sacrificed their lives to protect, and Loki completing his task for allowing humanity to live of true free will (without the Eyes of the World).

      All these moments live in Bayonetta and I find it sad that some people would rather try to pervert such a beautiful character to their agendas than just play and enjoy the series. As I played through both previous titles, not once is there any secret sexual tension, or wordplay used for Bayonetta to be tokenized by LGBTQ+ when there’s simply zero evidence of her being as such. Look, If LGBTQ+ gamers/non-gamers enjoy the character visually or enjoy the video games series, I am in full support of them. Bayonetta is for all gamers who are age appropriate to enjoy the game and should do so because gaming is for everyone. The only issue here is non-gamers and woke mobs trying to divide the gaming community and claiming people are marginalized or that some characters are tokenized in your identity politics when they are not.
      I’m sure as wokesters fail to read this whole article, they’ll immediately label me as a phobe or bigot or even a “Nazi” when they didn’t even read this article in the first place. I am stating it now because it will only continue to prove to you how despicable the woke mob can be as they continue to mislabel everything and everyone. Whether it’s people or video game characters, they’ll say anything to try and make themselves look like they’re better than anyone else because sadly that’s what self-righteous and self-entitled people do: They try to make themselves appear superior.
      For the readers who actually read this article, I want to thank you for reading and I want to let you know I appreciate the time you took to read my review on the previous Bayonetta titles and taking the time to read something that you may agree with or have an objectionable stance on and either case, I respect you for actually reading what I had to say, my opinion, and the facts I did find playing Bayonetta. It’s good to understand a new perspective and sometimes it’s scary because people may label you in some way if you do seek a new outlook, but I am glad you made that choice.
      Take care and have fun gaming!

      ‘Gold standard’ scientific study finds masks are useless against COVID

      …it was no surprise that the release of the 2023 Cochrane Review, which determined that masking is ineffective against the spread of respiratory illnesses such as influenza or COVID-19…

      Something we already knew, but which the legacy media REFUSED to report on.

      Cochrane reviews are the most esteemed of their kind. The National Institutes of Health describes them as “the gold standard for meta-analytical reviews” because of their low vulnerability to bias and generally higher quality. So when they say masks made no difference in the effort to minimize the damage of the pandemic, it’s probably accurate.

      Follow the science!

      In a sane world, this report is nothing short of a bombshell. The implications behind it are staggering. It means that, among other things, an entire generation of children was needlessly conditioned to fear the bare faces of friends and neighbors, that these same children needlessly suffered with regard to the aspects of brain development that require facial recognition, and that the sick and elderly were given a false sense of security while masking, which put countless lives at risk. This was not a small mistake.

      It was deliberately spread by the demented dems, their libtard activists, and their global elites via their propaganda media outlets.

      (politicians and media) commitment to mask mandates, lockdowns, school closures, and mandated vaccinations for populations at little risk of serious illness from the virus has resulted in numerous errors that have marred the institution’s credibility. And the refusal to acknowledge these errors, let alone correct them, confirms they deserve nothing but distrust and scorn.

      Most politicians are professional liars and do NOT have your best interests, to the media who push only mainstream liberal orthodoxy/agenda/narrative at the cost of the facts and truth and trust.

      To use a term coined by another, we are in an Information War.  And telling the truth, speaking the facts, etc, are among the first victims in this war.

      It’s shit.

      -“STAR TREK” brand title drop. Trying to follow in the footsteps of modern Star Wars is just embarrassing.
      -Crusher’s phase rifle holds about 20 rounds when Kirk-era phasers could be used on “thousands”.  Also, why does the weapon of war announce to enemy combatants that its rounds are exhausted?
      -It was smart of Paramount to retitle the series “Star Trek Picard” at the last minute, general audiences probably wouldn’t understand the subtleties of the Starfleet naming convention “1080p.AMZN.WEB-DL.DDP5.1”. (Ha ha ha.)
      -The mementos during Picard’s house cleaning were all chosen specifically to reference Red Letter Media.  The Generations review is over a decade old at this point, but referencing it is akin to the Juggernaut line in X-Men: The Last Stand.
      -Raffi’s script got mixed in with an old episode of 24.  At least they had the decency to not put her in Section 31.
      -Was there a huge budget cut this season?  The starbase and some establishing shots aren’t up to previous quality.
      -Transwarp factor nomenclature would have an in-universe revision if ships were to accelerate to warp 9.99 out of space dock.  Cute reference to Threshold, but the idea doesn’t feel lived-in.
      -Frakes deserves an Emmy for stepping back into the Riker role.  The man is single-handedly carrying both Stewart and Ryan through this series.
      -Are they really bringing back Picard’s brain disease despite the fact he’s a robot?  Does Paramount think its audience so disposable that they are ignoring everything from the first season?  The dramatic sting in the score does not inspire confidence.
      -Raffi, when Nordberg said “The Red Lady”, he was telling you the name of the ship.
      -Shaw wakes up from the auditory rumble of the cloud.  In space.
      -“Quantum tunneling” is a well-defined concept in physics and has nothing to do with sling ring portals straight out of Doctor Strange.
      -Picard made a classical music mixtape for Crusher consisting only of songs from one single decade.  I had a good laugh at this point formulating an improv where Jean-Luc imparts on Beverly the auditory beauty of Skrillex’s Purple Lamborghini.
      -Picard’s British accent is apparently hereditary.  One rung up the ladder from “Picard’s son is also bald”.
      -Main credits right out of the MCU.  They REALLY wish they were Disney.
      -Should they get credit for including the classic soundtrack?  Even though Rings of Power‘s music didn’t always work, at least they attempted to make new tracks.

      4/10.  7/10 as a sci-fi soporific for senior citizens who want to be swaddled by a multi-billion dollar media company.

        If you are like me, you enjoy good clean fun.  So I really am into kids movies that have that dual level of humor.  Heavyweights from 1995 is at heart a kids movie but it is friggen hilarious.  It has Ben Stiller in it being over the top silly and it just good clean fun.  It also has a very young Kenan Thompson in it who was apparently just born hilarious.  I have watched this flick multiple times because it reminds me of the 90’s and it is just plain fun.

        7/10

        Bro, I have Rumble & Odyssey as well as Gab & Gettr, none of them get views. I am not a political channel & I am not right wing, the only people that flourish in those places are those types of accounts. I have seen big YT channels that do movie reviews like Space Ice & he doesn’t even get views. But a political channel will get them. I Absolutely HATE politics & politicians with a burning passion. I stopped the political videos because too many right wingers were coming in & I do not agree with many things they believe  in, just like the Left but less violent.
        YT has a problem & the problem is that too many people want to get paid & too many of them are getting paid so they need to figure out a way to balance. People purchase their growth, just like they used to purchase their Blue account at 15k$
        There are countless sites offering views & subscribers & likes & comments at cheap prices & the YT algorithm is overloaded with fake engagement that it now just allows it as embedded posts. (I hope I said the right term)
        I saw a channel that just opened up, 4 weeks ago. Doing YT Growth Tips & he has 10k subs. I can tell it was fake because I recognized the Fiverr bots because I used Fiverr for 15-20 of my videos (1 was on Lil Wayne). If you see a bunch of generic “Great Video bro!” “So inspiring” “I don’t do these things but your video is still relevant to my needs” “Keep going” “You got this” “Wow I love your message” these are ALL comments that are paid for.
        Then there is YT Google Adsense that is crocked as hell & pure robbery.
        I’ve made  a bunch of YT content creators that are legitimate about what they do & they ALL struggle the way I mentioned in my original post.
        Since bigger channels aren’t interested in collabs, I’ve looked into Syndicating services that advertise your channel like a tv show & seek out people to watch your videos but man, those things are expensive as hell. Basic service is like 4k per month for 4 videos & they offer services like editing to make your video look better.
        I found another place that worked on a much smaller scale & they charged fixed amount of viewers that 80% turned into regular or returning viewers. They provided all communications history between them & the viewers they recruited but it is also expensive for less than 100 viewers.
        Unfortunately Youtube is a business if you want to succeed. You can’t just upload & share to your Socials, you have to get promoted to others.
        All these  young Money Youtubers are all frauds. Spencer Cornelia did a great expose on them.
        I’m going to keep on going though because I would rather Struggle & fail at my own dreams than struggle & fail in somebody else’s Nightmare.

        Hey guys, I know there is already a thread on Ai art but I wanted to start my own since I actually use the services. I used to say I am an Ai-Artist, but I since changed it to reflect the reality of what it actually is. I now say I am an Ai-Designer.
        But before we get into what I do, here is a word from today’s sponsor lol.
        Real artists, traditional artists HATE Ai for the most part & I completely understand. I agree with them but & it’s a BIG BUTT.
        So, I will say this, as an actual traditional artist (I write, draw, photograph & videograph) I understand why Artists Hate Ai. I always mention Midjourney in the tags & usually Ai as well. I hate when people use it as their own legitimate art they created on canvass, that is fraudulent. There have even been cases where they submitted Ai work in contests & they won. Not cool.

        Now as for my use of Ai. I use Midjourney, I also have used NightCafe & Dall-e2 & they both suck in comparison to what I can design in Midjourney (MJ for short, going forward)
        Most Ai artists are not traditional artists, they do not understand what are actually does. They don’t know how to invoke emotion or use emotion in their work. They don’t understand composition. Which is why their work always just ends up looking static & generic. Sure sometimes they look cool, but there is never life. It’s always a bust of a character or a standing pose of a character.  If you go through the home feed of MJ all you will see is the same structure with different models & it’s boring AF.

        Because of what happened to me at the hands of my employer, I cannot focus on drawing things anymore, I won’t get into what happened, but I am not capable of creating like I used to, pencil to paper or stylus to tablet. I became very depressed because I could not create. Then I discovered Ai art & I learned how I COULD express my artistic visions again & then some. I am also a writer, writing is an art in & of itself. When I understood how Prompts worked I figured out how to make art with it.
        Most Ai artists just type prompts like “A cool Cat eating a Pickle. Style Salvador Dali” then they generate a cool looking picture of a cat with shades eating a pickle.
        I create stories with my Designs. I will not give my secret recipe, sorry folks, but all I can say is that my pieces all have  stories behind them. I use Midjourney as a visual representation of my writing, my stories.
        My work is very much influenced by H.P Lovecraft & Cixin Liu (the Three Body Problem) What I will be doing is creating short stories either with me narrating them or just have text & have the pictures as the focal point. I already did one called “The War Beyond The Stars” it is a mix of Lovcraftian & Cixin, the first link is that video, then the others are shorts video as previews of future stories.
        What do you guys think?

        Netflix allowed me to make another watch along video & this time I chose to watch & react to the first 30 minutes of Blood Origin.
        Originally I had no interest in it until a youtuber I discovered called Disparu started  reviewing it.
        My God, it is so low effort. So generic. The set pieces are LARGE & vacuous with nothing inside them (or at least that’s how it feels)
        I’m going to say it, Everybody except Black Elf  & Muscle Elf all look terribly miscast (why do I keep reading this review in the Drinkers voice lol) Black She Elf is the worst,  she is a Bard & her specialty is ranged attacks since she’s archer, so if it was just that, she would look fine for the role. But she is also a major brawler & atacks big burley men & knocks the wind out of them…I mean she’s 105 pounds wet. She cannot sell it. Crouching Tiger is alright but looks out of place. Dwarf Elf thinks she’s Negan.
        All the other male casts are terribly thin & frail looking, it’s all just visually off-putting. Then of course we have the top 10 reason why we should watch the show “Because it has 2 men kissing” WOW such TV! (Insert Soy Rainbow Face meme)
        The story is weak nonsensical garbage that will make you wish you were watching Rings Of Power (another garbage pile)

        The other strange thing is, Disparu is also reviewing Willow & honestly, by the 3rd episodes of the shows, I cannot tell them apart. It’s literally the same thing lol
        So look, Here is the thing, I don’t make these videos because  I want to watch the brain rotting show, but because I think it is important that we watch these shows on some level BUT NOT THROUGH THEIR SERVICES. Youtubers are a great source for that because we can provide the alternative source so they don’t get our View $ & we are aware of the levels of  garbage they are shoving down our throats. I’m going to watch the rest of the episode in a few days & upload that, hopefully Netflix will be so kind to not block that one as well & I could share it with you guys.
        What are your thoughts on this Re-imagining?

        #290854

        A lot of modern critics and review websites tend to be shills.

        Neither do I trust general audience scores because of review bombing and bots but they are generally more balanced if you have the time to look for the authentic ones.

        In my opinion, the best approach is to find critics/reviewers that share your interests and go from there. Sure that in itself may be biased in that you may not give certain movies a fair shake but at the end of the day its about entertainment/enjoyment and that’s all that matters.

         

        Psychologists’ college silent on Jordan Peterson sanction

        The Ontario College of Psychologists says it’s unable to discuss why it is allegedly taking disciplinary action and trying to force social media training on Canadian commentator and psychologist Jordan Peterson.

        Because, it is all about politics, and trying to silence one whose views you disagree with.

        Peterson said he faces more than a dozen complaints from the public. They have all come since his “rise to public prominence,” he said, adding he faced none in the prior 20 years as a practising psychologist in Ontario.

        Twenty years nothing, now all of a sudden a dozen?

        In documents that Peterson posted to Twitter, the college says that Peterson “may have lacked professionalism” in social media posts, and in a podcast appearance…

        Lacked professionalism?  Or did not agree with your agenda/talked about things using facts/truths.

        The document, which sets out a coaching plan for Peterson, says Peterson must “review, reflect on, and ameliorate my professionalism in public statements,” and that it will cost up to $225 per hour.

        Ameliorate?  $225/hour?  for how long?  Sounds like blackmail to be.

        Peterson, who is also a professor emeritus at the University of Toronto, said on Twitter he has formally indicated that he will not comply; the college’s website indicates that Peterson has sought judicial review of the college’s disciplinary proceedings.

        From what I have seem, Peterson has ALWAYS been professional in his appearance, his manner, his tone, etc.  So this “coaching” aka re-education is to make him toe the leftist line.

        Peterson has yet to make public the details of any remaining complaints, beyond noting that in the complaints, he is accused of being “sexist, transphobic, incapable of the requisite body positivity in relationship to morbid obesity and, unforgivably of all, a climate change denialist.”

        He has always stated being UNHEALTHY (obese) is…. UNHEALTHY!

        And the rest, is all political, extremely toxic far-alt left agenda cancel culture yelling points.  If you don’t 100% agree with their destructive agenda, you MUST be default be canceled.  That is what this is all about.

        Peterson says that none of the people who have levied complaints against him are — or have ever been — his clients and says that “half” of them falsely claimed to be patients. (The college declined to address this specific allegation.)

        Demented NPC Activists.  And of course the college “declined”.  That would ruin their attempt to silence Jordan.

        Indeed, Peterson threatens to make “every single word of this legal battle fully public.”

        Yes!  Expose every lie, every rebuttal, every attempt to silence your voice/opinion.

        Peterson has pledged to make public all the complaints and his responses to them.

        Witcher: Blood Origin REVIEW Panel | Geneva TORTURE Laws Violated

        With a panel consisting of:

        • Jed: The Hollywood Scholar
        • Lady Balefire
        • Adam: The Renaissance Nerd
        • Mustangride
        • Dermywermy

        Court upholds Connecticut’s transgender athlete policy

        A federal appeals court on Friday dismissed a challenge to Connecticut’s policy of allowing transgender girls to compete in girls high school sports, rejecting arguments by four cisgender runners who said they were unfairly forced to race against transgender athletes.

        What stupid activist court did that?

        A three-judge panel of the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New York City upheld a lower court judge’s dismissal of a lawsuit challenging the policy.  The panel said the four cisgender athletes lacked standing to sue.

        Lacked standing?!?

        — in part because their claims that they were deprived of wins, state titles and athletic scholarship opportunities were speculative.

        So, every biological male competing in a female sport does not take a spot of a cisgender or biological female?  WTF!

        The Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Council argued its policy is designed to comply with a state law that requires all high school students be treated according to their gender identity. It also said the policy is in accordance with Title IX, the federal law that allows girls equal educational opportunities, including in athletics.

        And it is that “gender identity” that is depriving biological females from spots being taken up by those biological males in female education and athletics.

        “Today’s ruling is a critical victory for fairness, equality, and inclusion” Joshua Block, a lawyer for the ACLU’s LGBTQ & HIV Project, said in a statement. “This critical victory strikes at the heart of political attacks against transgender youth while helping ensure every young person has the right to play.”

        “FAIRNESS”?  How is that fair to biological females?

        It deliberately DISCRIMINATES against biological females.

        Christiana Kiefer, a lawyer with the conservative Alliance Defending Freedom who represented the four Connecticut cisgender athletes, said she and other alliance attorneys are considering how to respond, including possibly asking the U.S. Supreme Court to review Friday’s decision.

        “Our clients, like all female athletes across the country, deserve fair competition,” Kiefer said in a phone interview. “And that means fair and equal quality of competition, and that just does not happen when you’re forced to compete against biological males in their sports.”

        Exactly!

        Kiefer added, “The vast majority of the American public recognizes that in order to have fair sports, we have to protect the female category, and I think you’re seeing that trend increasingly with states across the country passing laws to protect women’s sports. … This is certainly not the end of the road in the fight for fairness for female athletes.”

        We need to protect female rights, from non-biological females(biological males).

        These female pretenders must be kept from taking away positions, scholarships, and chances to win.

        In arguments before a federal judge in Connecticut in February 2021, Roger Brooks, another lawyer for the Alliance Defending Freedom, said Title IX guarantees girls “equal quality” of competition, which he said is denied by having to race people with what he described as inherent physiological advantages.

        Brooks said the transgender sprinters improperly won 15 championship races between 2017 and 2020 and cost cisgender girls the opportunity to advance to other races 85 times.

        Miller and Yearwood, the transgender sprinters from Bloomfield and Cromwell, respectively, frequently outperformed their cisgender competitors.

        Because of the bone and muscles those biological males developed before they decided to pretend to be females so they can take those championships, those opportunities to advance, and getting spots of the teams.

        Those are FACTS.

        Sadly, woke activists are blind to facts and reality.

        NATO row breaks out as Zelensky savaged for ‘destructive lies’ over Poland missile

         NATO, Warsaw and the US all said they believed the missile was “likely” fired by Ukraine…

        As the mounting evidence is proving.

        But Mr Zelensky would not budge on the issue, insisting that a report he received from the incident left him certain that it was “not our missile or our missile strike”.

        Well, that report is FALSE.

        His statements have reportedly irked at least one Kyiv-based diplomat from a NATO country, who told the Financial Times: “This is getting ridiculous. The Ukrainians are destroying [our] confidence in them. Nobody is blaming Ukraine and they are openly lying. This is more destructive than the missile.”

        The Ukrainian Regime wants more than just “financial” support, they want actual troops and an expanded war.

        The Kremlin denied responsibility for the missile, claiming that not only was the missile that struck Poland not theirs, their weapons had not targeted anywhere near the Polish border…

        So who is lying?  The evidence is point to Zelensky and his government as being the liars.

        NATO, the US and Warsaw all declared that while initial reports suggested the missile was fired from Russia, they now believed the missile’s origin was likely from Ukraine as a defensive measure against the Russian air strikes.

        That is why, waiting for the FACTS is so important.

        However, Mr Zelensky continues to insist that the missile was Russia’s, pointing to an “evening report to me personally, from the commander of the air force to commander-in-chief [of Ukraine’s military] Zaluzhny”, which he said confirms “that it was not our missile or our missile strike”.

        The president added: “It makes no sense for me not to trust them, I’ve gone through the war with them.”

        Well, those findings were wrong.

        Either your intelligence gathering agency is extremely faulty, or your commander-in-chief deliberately gave you a false report in the hopes of expanding the war to include NATO nations.

        The NATO leader stated that the responsibility still lies with Russia for the missile hit. He said: “This is not Ukraine’s fault. Russia bears responsibility for what happened in Poland yesterday because this is a direct result of the ongoing war, and the wave of attacks from Russia against Ukraine yesterday.

        Oh, really?  Then who is at fault for the cause of this war?

        Russia says Ukraine invasion «would not be necessary» if US had «put pressure on Kiev in time»

        Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Thursday that the invasion of Ukraine “would not have been necessary” if the U.S. government had exerted its influence on Kiev and “put pressure on the country in time.”

        You mean, if the war mongers in DC wanted to stop a war BEFORE a war started?

        “Washington says that if there were no Russian shelling there would not have been the downing of an S-300 of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Poland. But if you follow this logic, then one would have to review the situation in another direction and one would have to conclude that if there had not been a total unwillingness on the part of the United States and NATO to address Russia’s concerns, there would not have been a special military operation in Ukraine,” he asserted.

        And what was part of those concerns?

        “If the United States and the Alliance had put pressure on the Kiev regime and had given guarantees that they would not carry out a new civil war and an attack against their own population in two already independent republics, then there would be no special operation,” he said, referring to the name given to the invasion by the Russian government.

        Something the legacy media refused to report on, and how the bombardment/military actions on those Russian speaking areas had continued to the point where Kremlin decided they had to act to protect them.

        As always, there is more to the story than the media WANTS to let you know.

        If the diplomats ALL did their jobs, Putin would not have felt the need to protect those Russians with this special military operation in Ukraine.

        If…

        I blame ALL for this.

        The West, the US, Ukraine, Russia, NATO, etc.

        This war could easily have been prevented, if all wanted PEACE.

        Sadly, that is not what we got.

        Marc Silvestri is a legend. I do like Image and Top Cow. They have that indie spirit. This is a very good review. Gritty and real is how I like the comics. Top Cow Matt or Matt Hawkins is one of my favorite writers. Top intellect on that guy.

        Looking forward to your comments and reviews. Don’t see how Val Kilmer can be replaced. What a character he was. If I just glanced at it, I would think it was Wheel of Time all over again. Definitely make up your own mind, have your own thoughts and opinions. I happen to really, really enjoy bashers of Hollywood but don’t have the hours anymore to take in the content that Az and others are making. If I happen to catch it, then great.

        The Peripheral is one of those things I just watch out of curiosity. Different things reach different types of people. I guess I didn’t catch the line about female gamers, or if I did, it just didn’t land. It only hooked me due to old school sci-fi sentiment. Guess I’m looking for that catchy enthusiasm that the previous generations had for their sci-fi. Don’t know how much of it is around. In the Chato comments, a person said Dark by Netflix was a good show.

        No real disagreement here. I like catching their footage, but some of these channels are just too big with too much for too long. It’s overdose. I prefer micro-dose.
