For fun, I looked up the person who is cited as having started the ultimately ill-fated cancel culture attempt against Walter Block. I open-mindedly listened to a couple of her songs, and while I can hear some limited music theory at play, it's pretty vacuous stuff. Perhaps she legitimately isn't smart enough to grasp what the heck Walter Block is even talking about regarding most topics-- and so, groping, she reaches for the "dats rayciss" card.

In other news, wifey tells me that Minnesota's governor-- whose brother died some time ago by having a tree fall on him, strangely-- is "thinking about" putting one of these "policies" in place, like a petty little dictator in charge of his own fiefdom. The hilarious part is that in each instance of these I've seen, you can-- and I certainly will-- just ignore it by saying you have a "medical condition", and you are also legally under no obligation to elaborate.

On a totally unrelated note, I've revisited "Metro Exodus" via its "New Game Plus" mode, and it's even better looking than I'd remembered: the texture resolution is crazy, the HDR implementation is incredible, there are volumetric lights everything, particles filling the screen, ray-traced global illumination, and much more. Running on my setup, this is absolutely a "next gen" game, but from fall of 2019.

But perhaps the best part is that, having been made in Eastern Europe, it's totally immune from wokesterdom: as examples, the game opens with a pre-rendered video clearly putting Nazism and Communism on the exact same abject moral level, while the story focuses on brave men fighting their way towards freedom-- not going on "emotional journeys of discovery" or being subservient to women, or any of that nonsense. I also find the game quite immersive with the Russian voice acting.
