My biggest regret is that Don Rickles isn't alive to react to this. Toy company Hasbro has announced that it is making Mr. Potato Head gender-neutral. They are dropping the word "Mr." from his its name and just calling him it "Potato Head." For reasons known only to people whom I'm assuming are really bored Hasbro executives. No word yet on what this means for Mrs. Potato Head, or if she's happy with her spudly spouse's transition. This is the extent of the Associated Press article.

Hasbro, the company that makes the potato-shaped plastic toy, is giving the spud a gender neutral new name: Potato Head. The change will appear on boxes this year. Hasbro said Mr. Potato Head, which has been around for about 70 years, needed a modern makeover.

I'm convinced now more than ever there is a giant lotto ball machine in some leftist nonprofit somewhere. Each ball has a different fictional character on it. On the fourth Thursday of every month, a ball is chosen and teams have to figure out how best to f*** with the character. Bonus points for the speed they're able to bully corporate executives into releasing a statement. The winning team gets free lunch at the culturally appropriate restaurant of their choice.

The dumbest thing in all this? You would think Mr. Potato Head was already the wokest toy imaginable. It's a "Mister" you can turn into a "Mrs." and back again, just for fun. Give him a top hat and a mustache, it's a Mr. Potato Head or a gender studies major. Give it a purse and some eyelashes, he becomes a she. Remove all gender-affirming accessories and it's a live-action Brian Stelter doll. Hasbro could have been trailblazing. Instead, it took the lazy way out.

Shame, Habro. Shame!

Rachel Levine, Joe Biden's nominee for assistant health secretary, had her nomination hearing today. You may find yourself wondering why such a fuss over an ASSISTANT secretary. It's because of the glass ceiling that Levine is shattering her way through by being the first transgender cabinet nominee. We here at LwC admire her beautiful bravery. Or is it brave beauty?

The hearing wasn't all rainbows and cheese, though. One senator, Rand Paul, grilled Ms. Levine on health issues affecting the youth of this country. This back-and-forth speaks for itself without much additional commentary needed. This is good, because I don't think there is any commentary I can add and have this post still be visible on Facebook. Whom we're suing. Please sign up for our newsletter.

I try not to hate TikTok as much as my peers do. It can be a source of great amusement. Like the great MAGA Bro vs. Leftist Banshee battle of 2020. Or this dude, dunking on Chris Cuomo while eating ramen. It can be a tool used for good. But what is usually the case is we're reminded why Donald Trump was right to ban it in the first place. The new Twitter trend seems to be white women singing about how racist white women are. They must have grown tired of being blamed for electing people the left disapproves of. This is them making amends.

I also don't know if "two" makes a trend. But I saw these videos being shared on Twitter. To see if it's an actual TikTok "trend" requires me to spend more time on TikTok, and I would rather the Chinese not spy on me. Allegedly. This first woman looks like she is singing in what could be a classroom. Allegedly.

This other dame was kind enough to include subtitles:

If you want to know how corporations get away with telling white people to be less white or schools get away with sending homework assignments home accusing parents of racism, here you go. It starts with Becky and Other Becky. I'm not offended by their racism as much as I am by their lazy writing. Nursery rhymes? Really? if you want to drive home how much you think white people suck at life, do a parody of offensively white artists. Take a Hoobastank song, but make The Reason into a song about whiteness. Cover Nickelback. Reimagine something by Ryan Cabrera. If you're going to shamelessly pander to other white leftists, put some effort into it.

Because I can almost guarantee, any African-Americans hearing these two banshee sing are laughing at them as much as we are.

The Media Research Center released a poll saying 36% percent of Biden voters were shocked to hear some news about him that they missed. One might say, news that certain media outlets wanted voters to miss. Keep that factoid in mind. Biden raised eyebrows recently witth comments about human rights abuses in China, seemingly dismissing them as "different cultural norms." The youngbloods at Campus Reform were curious. Young voters voted for Biden. Did they know of these comments? Who do they think said them? How do they feel knowing it was President Biden? Let's find out.

Honestly, I forgot The Simpsons was even on. I grew up with it since The Tracey Ullman Show. But the last laugh-out-loud episode I remember was when they made fun of the 2008 primaries. The cartoon only pops up on the radar when it makes the news for silly woke reasons. It started with some guy making a movie about Apu that scared Hank Azaria away from voicing Apu. Then during the great pandering of 2020, producers said that white voice actors wouldn't voice non-white characters any more. You know, to cure racism and all that. The new voice of Dr. Hibbert has debuted, hence this being in the news again.

At least creator Matt Groening still thinks this is all dumb.

I actually didn't have a problem with the way we were doing it. All of our actors play dozens of characters each, it was never designed to exclude anyone. At a certain point it doesn't matter what you say. You're going to be attacked by whoever, you know?

We're not going out of our way to comfort bigots. On the other hand, if you do any kind of gesture and people perceive a weakness, you'll be criticised.

To quote Lisa Simpson when the show had the courage to laugh this crap off, "What can you do?" These past two weeks have made it clear just how much bullying the social left does in Hollywood. There are more important battles than worrying about a cartoon that is a decade past its prime.

It's just a shame, though, because for a while, the show was laugh-out-loud funny. A show that has been on since the '80s (I had a Bart Simpson shirt in junior high; I'm in my 40s now) is bound to have episodes that aren't acceptable in 2021's permaoffended climate. As more gets deleted because of randos complaining about it on Twitter, fewer people will know just how brilliant the show was.

House Democrats have released a $1.9 TRILLION spending bill they are calling "COVID Relief." We've seen this movie before. Democrats name a massive spending bill something they claim most Americans support. Then they load it up with lots of stuff most Americans don't. SPOILER: This "relief" bill isn't $1.9T of $1,400 stimulus checks. As Dan Crenshaw points out, most of it goes to Democrat special interest groups. Also, a lot of the money for immediate COVID "relief" is money that doesn't get spent until 2022. Also, we still (allegedly) haven't spend hundreds of billions of dollars from the last COVID "relief" passed in November.

Here. I'll let Crenshaw explain.

Standard viral video disclaimers apply here. The origin of this video and the featured players are unknown. There could be some missing context that happened prior to when one of the dudes started recording. At the end of the day, it's just nice to see a viral freakout that has nothing to do with masks. Not that those aren't fun as well. What I think happened is that two bros spotted something odd on someone's car. They tried signaling to the driver, eventually getting the driver to pull over. The driver approaches the bros in an "I'm a batsh*t crazy person" way. Bro #1 tries to explain to the drive. Bro #2 pulls out his iPhone for posterity's sake.

You may now press play.

Cheese and crackers! You could have just said "thank you," Regina George.

More importantly, I know this is said to be done for comedic effect in fictional stories. It's a way to point out the character might be frazzled, if not a complete nincompoop. BUT WHO THE DEUCE ACTUALLY LEAVES A GAS STATION WITH THE PUMP STILL IN YOUR CAR? Like, obviously she used the self-pump lane. That requires stopping pumping and PUTTING THE PUMP BACK before asking for your receipt. This woman missed an entire step of a process that isn't complicated in the first place. Worse, she STILL didn't see the newly decapitated gas pump sticking out of her car as she rushed the two brochachos. They were just trying to help, crazy lady!

I at least would have admitted the mistake and my overreaction. I'd assume I was about to go viral. If nothing else I'd admit I acted like a chucklehead. Maybe do one of those dances from Fortnite where you do a jig holding up an "L" with your fingers. You should have just owned your L, lady.

I love it when people prove your point for you. I also love it any time we get to point out what a useless potato Brian Stelter is. This post does both, including a cameo by his sidekick, both of whom are gainfully employed at CNN as journalists. We start with Tucker Carlson saying Tucker Carlson things on Tuesday night.

Esteemed Dr. Anthony Fauci is going to hate this. Luckily for him, he'll probably never go to North Dakota. There aren't as many news cameras there as there are in Washington, D.C. The ND House has passed a bill that would prevent local governments and schools from passing mask mandates. I still say South is the better Dakota, thanks to its smokeshow of a governor, Kristi Noem, who also isn't enamored by masks. But North Dakota is showing some moxie and doesn't want its neighbors to hog all that freedom to themselves.

Lead sponsor of the bill Rep. Jeff Hoverson calls the mandate "diabolical silliness."

Hoverson said that "The mask is a part of a larger apparatus of a movement of unelected, wealthy bureaucrats, who are robbing our freedoms and perpetuating lies." He also reportedly said, "Our state is not a prison camp."

There are of course two sides to every story. Rep. Jason Dockter disagrees with what was passed.

"If people wanted to decide to have a mask mandate, they should have that choice. They should also have the choice not to mandate. I think as lawmakers if we're going to pass a bill that just says 'Absolutely no mandates, no matter what, under no circumstances,' those are the same people that talk about local control."

I'd ask where YOU guys stand on the issue. But I already know that you know that I know. And I would NEVER tell you not to follow the CDC. That wouldn't be sciencey of me to do.

We're approaching the one-year anniversary of "fifteen days to flatten the curve." Whether there is an end in sight or a light shining on the other side of a tunnel, the depends on what's the worst news CNN can find to report that day. That's only one man's opinion, Facebook "fact" checkers. You might even call it "sarcasm." What isn't sarcastic is the number of Americans who, regardless of how they felt a year ago, are beginning to think their government should have thought through some of these restrictions when they were mandated. It's good to see some states starting to do that.

I'm sure people living in New York City and Palo Alto will disagree. That's fine. Just don't go to North Dakota, then. You were never going to do that anyhow.
