Vegan restaurant owner claims attacks by meat eaters in Tbilisi.
“Proprietors at an embattled vegan restaurant, the Kiwi Café, say they feel compelled to close doors at the establishment’s current location following a May 29 incident, in which alleged nationalists stormed the restaurant and peppered patrons with sliced meat. The suspected assailants are regulars at a war-themed bar.”

Not surprisingly, the writer, Giorgi Lomsadze, takes the side of the Vegans, or boys who “wear flower-print pants.”
The Vegan place is the Kiwi Café; the “war-themed bar” is the “Military Bar, where meat, beer and nationalism are revered …”
The Kiwi owner says he will have to “move to a larger place somewhere.”
Wait, wait. Business has been bad because of attacks from the war-themed bar, but Kiwi needs a larger building?

The sponsors tell just about all you need to know
The Center for Race and Gender at the University of California at Berkeley and the Council on American-Islamic Relations put out a study on “Islamophobia.”
Verdict: Racist, racist, racist not-Muslims need to just shut up.
Oh, and since when is Islam a race or a gender?

Maybe ‘Rifle operating specialist’?
New USMC titles:
* Basic infantry Marine.
* Riverine assault craft Marine.
* Light-armor vehicle Marine.
* Reconnaissance Marine (to include three other recon-related jobs that include the word "man").
* Infantry assault Marine.
* Basic field artillery Marine.
* Field artillery fire control Marine.
* Field artillery sensor support Marine.
* Fire support Marine.
* Basic engineer, construction and equipment Marine.
* Basic tank and assault amphibious vehicle Marine.
* Armor Marine.
* Amphibious assault vehicle Marine.
* Amphibious combat vehicle Marine.
“Others on the list — like manpower officer or vertical takeoff unmanned aerial vehicle specialist — will still include the word ‘man’ because it's part of a word that doesn't describe the Marine doing the job.”

So much for “We’re looking for a few good men” thing. Maybe “We’re looking for a few good persons.” Nah. Doesn’t have the same oomph. And, “persons” is speciesist. “We’re looking for a few good mammals.” Same neighborhood as “persons.”
Here’s the deal with Democratic/Progressive/Socialist/Genderless/GlutenFree Party: Whatever works, get rid of it.

Just because your vehicle weighs 27 tons doesn’t give you right of way
Well, yeah, it kind of does.
“Interesting accident has happened in one of Russian cities. As witnesses report a road conflict arised between Toyota Camry driver and a soldier driving 2S4 ‘Tyulpan’ (‘Tulip’) self propelled mortar. Then Camry driver as said didn't want to yield to the soldier, then soldier just ran over the Toyota on his 27-ton tank.”
