Free publicity for the alt-right from squicked media, sensitive souls…
They never seem to learn that it’s better to ignore, rather than generate free publicity.
Toronto media and progs scandalized by ‘Hey, white person’ pro-alt-right posters appearing in local parks

Architecture and Color
It’s like they instinctively hate beauty, and want to increase ugliness.
Note, too, that when a city is filled with the latter, all the highly reflective buildings all reflect each other, thus increasing the ugliness exponentially.
Also, they hate birds – modern buildings kill more birds flying into windows than older ones do. So, modern architects hate life. (Not just birds; they hate tree-filled parks popular with people; would rather replace them with concrete plazas where nobody wants to linger. No, their instincts are anti-life, in general. Trees, birds, people; social life…)

Trad vs. modernist. Why do our developers and designers want us to inhabit a colorless, reflecty, non-tactile world?
Musical Interlude: “Democracy”, by Leonard Cohen
September 21, 1934 – November 7, 2016
R.I.P.
It’s coming through a hole in the air
From those nights in Tiananmen Square
It’s coming from the feel
That this ain’t exactly real
Or it’s real, but it ain’t exactly there
From the wars against disorder
From the sirens night and day
From the fires of the homeless
From the ashes of the gay
Democracy is coming to the USA
It’s coming through a crack in the wall
On a visionary flood of alcohol
From the staggering account
Of the Sermon on the Mount
Which I don’t pretend to understand at all
It’s coming from the silence
On the dock of the bay,
From the brave, the bold, the battered
Heart of Chevrolet
Democracy is coming to the USA
It’s coming from the sorrow in the street
The holy places where the races meet
From the homicidal bitchin’
That goes down in every kitchen
To determine who will serve and who will eat
From the wells of disappointment
Where the women kneel to pray
For the grace of God in the desert here
And the desert far away:
Democracy is coming to the USA
Sail on, sail on
Oh mighty ship of State
To the shores of need
Past the reefs of greed
Through the Squalls of hate
Sail on, sail on, sail on, sail on
It’s coming to America first
The cradle of the best and of the worst
It’s here they got the range
And the machinery for change
And it’s here they got the spiritual thirst
It’s here the family’s broken
And it’s here the lonely say
That the heart has got to open
In a fundamental way
Democracy is coming to the USA
It’s coming from the women and the men
Oh baby, we’ll be making love again
We’ll be going down so deep
The river’s going to weep,
And the mountain’s going to shout Amen
It’s coming like the tidal flood
Beneath the lunar sway
Imperial, mysterious
In amorous array
Democracy is coming to the USA
Sail on, sail on
O mighty ship of State
To the shores of need
Past the reefs of greed
Through the squalls of hate
Sail on, sail on, sail on, sail on
I’m sentimental, if you know what I mean
I love the country but I can’t stand the scene
And I’m neither left or right
I’m just staying home tonight
Getting lost in that hopeless little screen
But I’m stubborn as those garbage bags
As time cannot decay
I’m junk but I’m still holding up this little wild bouquet
Democracy is coming to the USA
To the USA

Transparody
Spotted in a public building in the Greater Toronto Area:
I know that until recently, there were just man and woman symbols (and possibly the same wheelchair and baby symbols as above in the one; I forget) on these single-occupant washrooms, both of which are wheelchair-accessible, designed primarily for disabled (or should I say differently-abled) individuals.
But some bureaucrat(s) decided they had to add a half-man, half-woman symbol to them…
Not sure why the two different colours, orange and green; perhaps they are separate washrooms for Protestants and Catholics (or, given population replacement trends, Hindus and Muslims).😉
But surely, this is still not inclusive enough; why, it only depicts people who present as female on the right side of their bodies, and as male on the left side; what about those who present as female on the left side of their bodies, and male on the right side of their bodies? Or female upstairs, male downstairs? Or vice versa?
Clearly, more symbols must be added!😉
