A Toast to Summer

“Hold summer in your hand, pour summer in a glass, a tiny glass of course, the smallest tingling sip, for children; change the season in your veins by raising glass to lip and tilting summer in.” - Ray Bradbury

NOLA's LaToya "Da Destroya" Gifts the City a "Peace Pole" and "Hair Pick".

Madam Mayor Latoya "Da Destroya" Cantrell

One of the great cultural centers of the South, the City of New Orleans is rapidly becoming unlivable, with crime creeping into the reasonable safety of the Tourist and Business Districts, and the crumbling infrastructure remaining unaddressed. But Mayor Cantrell is continuing the expensive crusade to cleanse the city of offensive statues, like that of the Hero of the Battle of New Orleans and 7th President of the United States, Andrew Jackson.

Last Wednesday, LaToya "Da Destroya" unveiled the newest civic improvement in the city.

She unveiled a Peace Pole. A Peace Pole.

Sure, there may be 14 year olds having shoot outs in the streets & hijacking BMW's around the city, and potholes big enough for a bus to fall in, but we now have a Peace Pole that took FOUR entities to install. The city thought this new bit of “infrastructure” was so impressive that Da Destroya actually sobered up and had at ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Sadly, the Pole worked for about an hour. Two feral Trayvons shot a white woman on interstate 10 shortly after the ceremony.

Thank you so much. This will really make a difference. Your leadership is *shidding farting vomiting* invaluable. https://t.co/RVShnliwBl

It’s easier to erect a Peace Pole than to actually do something to improve the city of New Orleans. Especially since the mayor is an absentee drunk, the police chief is incompetent, and DA doesn’t want to prosecute anyone, and the sheriff doesn’t believe in incarcerating anybody.

But that's not all she gave the city!!

Just in time for Juneteenth celebrations this weekend: A new statue for the city in Lafayette Square, some kind of combination of Afro pick and black power fist.......

Clearly the city needs to up the ante to curb violence. I’m thinking TWO more hair picks to bookend the peace pole. It’s the only logical thing to do at this point.

To Hell With the Queens English! Let's Talk Google

According to a report at Breitbart, leaked material from Google provided a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the tech giant's own 1984 feature rolled out to users of Google Docs that suggests woke-approved replacements for words. Google announced the feature’s rollout in April, but gave scant details about how it operated, except to say that it would flag “discriminatory and inappropriate language” to users and recommend more “inclusive” alternatives.

Google is using the feature to push woke ideology on business users, nudging them away from language that points to basic realities that undermine far-left identitarian politics, such as the existence of two separate genders.

Examples in the report show code screenshots of Google’s curated list of non-woke words and their woke replacements, such as replacing “manhole” with “maintenance hole”. I shit you not. 

The leaked code also shows that Google has a problem with the word “white.” Accordingly, it would recommend that the word “whitepaper” be replaced with more “racially inclusive” terminology such as “report.” “Master” is another word that Google apparently believes does not have sufficient racial inclusiveness and identifies the word “masterpiece” as a problem. But it appears the masterminds at Google have yet to come up with a replacement.

Google is attempting to using its “strength and resources” to replace people’s everyday language with woke terminology sanctioned by progtard leftist. Beyond the replacement of words, Google appears to want to influence the way its users think — rewriting our concepts of race, gender, and history.

Soon we are going to be unable to function with the insanely complex victimology of the left. Everything is finding a pecking order of victimhood which is beyond the Marxist dreams of class divisions to wreck a society.

I did get a real kick out of one bit of most excellent snark from the comments I'll share with you:

I can see the memo explaining why the company got rid of the water cooler.

To my fellow employees & SJW allies,

We got rid of the water cooler today because certain religious groups who we respect were not able to take water touched by people they consider unclean during certain times. Unfortunately, we were not able to get the proper permits for multiple vending machines for blessed water, unblessed water, water in plastic bottles, water in cans, enviro-friendly solar powered water cooler machines, unisex machines, unigender machines, cis machines only & natural raw water in glass bottles purchased from local vendors only.

The management apologizes to any and all persons that were offended by the previous process of disposable paper cups, disposable plastic cups, sudsing detergents for cleaning reusable cups and any unapproved toxic masculinity or toxic feminity that occurred near or around the water coolers.

Yours Truly,
(Th(him)/he) Bishop of the Bitter Clingers.

P.S. GOOD LUCK DRINKING FROM THE STEAM YOU JACKWAGGONS
