There’s life in the old site yet
After several years of neglect, the docweasel.com site went down in February after a php update. In fact, all the sites on which I had adapted a theme called “Aqua” went down and there was no update or fix. I had to start with a new theme and recreate the look and feel of the old ones by css and html. docweaselband.com was relatively simple, and with help from the Wayback Machine I was able to get it up quickly using WP’s ‘twenty-twenty’ theme, I believe a good choice because it is well based and constantly updated, and all my customizations were done in the child theme so are unlikely to be over-written. Plus it was a very small site.

Taryn Toomey’s elitist humblebrag Sunday
Taryn Toomey, 39, the founder of the Class by Taryn Toomey, perhaps the most pretentious, useless and self-centered class ever is a mind-body workout that “invites students to witness their resistance to discomfort,” (Jesus Fuck) has somewhat of a cult following (very few followers, but they are obsessive to the point of neuroses). Students from across the metropolitan area are heading to her year-old TriBeCa studio to sweat, cry and scream, as she urges them to “dig deeper.” Like Great Britain, they have nothing to give but their sweat, tears and screams. On Sundays, Ms. Toomey cherishes quality time with her husband, Mark Toomey, 48, who works in finance (although he doesn’t figure into the day much, really, other than to finance this leisure-class bint’s flim-flam “classes”), and their two daughters, Scarlett, 8, referred to as Lettie, and Finley, 6, continuing the practice of giving kids unlikely and non-traditional names to stick it in the eye of their parents, who find their contrived names juvenile and pointless. The family lives in TriBeCa because of course.

Vanity Fair dictates new standards of beauty based on diversity and gayness
Beautiful white people are no longer considered beautiful by definition. No white person can now be beautiful because they are not members of various victim classes who have been under-represented in the standards of beauty circus. Vanity Fair has recently made a statement by rejecting “elite” Hollywood, represented by people like Anne Hathaway and Natalie Portman or even older stars like Annette Bening and Nicole Kidman in favor of people like this… person.

Pirate Bay Night at the Movies
Ok, what have I been watching this week whilt coding my merry way around the ‘net? Lucky Dozen fairly new movies, some still in the theaters, but thank god for Pirate Bay I can enjoy Jumanji without dealing with hordes of teens giggling or cheering and it doesn’t cost me $20 a pop. Do I feel guilt? No.
The best thing you’ll see all month, anyway, Jordan Peterson
I hate watching videos. Hate hate hate hate hate. I’d rather read a transcript anyday, I can read a lot faster than the vids and I get immpatient with sitting there waiting for them to get to the point. I watched the whole thing this time, and it was well worth it. My god, this guy owns this smug, entitled, complacent left-wing bint who thinks she holds the moral high-ground. For the coup de grace, start at about 21:40 and give it a minute. He kicks her ass intellectually the entire time, but she’s on the canvas bleeding at 23:00. Great great guy, must find out more about him.
