ESPN Goes Full Feminist

On Thursday night, ESPN will present an all-female version of SportsCenter focusing only on women’s sports. Indeed, the virtue signaling to the left will go all in on the women-only concept because not only will the on-air staff be all female broadcasters, but all the producers, camera people, and other off-air staff will also be an all-female affair, according to Variety. That isn’t all. During commercial breaks and between reports, ESPN will air ads and segments to flog the financial-services firm Ally, which has entered into a sponsorship deal with ESPN owner Disney which calls for 90 percent of its spending on the network to benefit women’s sports reporting.

However, the more exposure to women’s sports one actually has, the less inclined one is to support them, let alone permit one’s daughters to participate in them. It amounts to signing them up for knee surgeries and sexual inversion. It would be interesting to see which path produces statistically worse results on average, women’s team sports or the stripper’s pole.

Regardless, a good father will keep his daughters away from both.

UPDATE: We are reliably informed that ESPN will be following Elon Musk’s lead and rebranding as the Ladies Entertainment and Sports Programming Network.

Release the Memes

It’s time for the first Meme Review of 2023. You know where to send them. Just one, please. If you send more than one, they’ll all be thrown out, so don’t bother. Subject: MEME REVIEW.

On a not-particularly-related subject, if you wish to keep up with my daily word count tracker, which I’ve implemented to put pressure on myself to improve my literary output, you can do so via this thread at SocialGalactic and the link to it on the right sidebar. What % GOAL means is what the current total run rate is compared to my annual goal of 365,000 words. In other words, whether I’m ahead of the annual schedule or behind it. I’ll add a TOTAL WORDS line with tonight’s update that should help clarify the matter for those who miss this explanation.

And yes, at present, the FICTION genre refers to A SEA OF SKULLS.

UPDATE: William is calculating when the next novel will be published. Unfortunately, his work was based on a false premise and therefore the results are incorrect. Both A THRONE OF BONES and A SEA OF SKULLS are 297,500 words apiece.

…trying to figure when the next Vox Day novel will drop based on new information…

…assuming about 200,000 words in a novel the size of Throne of Bones…

…of course, this is not counting work being done in parallel, or things being thrown out…

…ok, we’ve got this… run a Farey sequence on the probability envelope of a daily routine given parameters of Environment, Distraction, Drive, Accuracy… input variables into a non-linear optimization routine… convince some intern this all makes sense and make him do all the work to figure it out… done.

Vox will have written 4,000 new novels by the end of the year, and 24 of them will have become motion picture productions.

The intern was JF.
