After multiple Twitter-mobsters took note of the mug, the leader of a women’s group also got in on the action.



The grocery store apologized, and removed the mug.


Well done ladies! (But not in the cooked meat sense of the term.)

University creates tech to scan Twitter for misogynist Tweets


An Australian University is developing a technology that can identify misogynist and sexist Tweets.


Currently, Tweets have to be reported before they are deleted, which the team sees as a problem.


This technology will make it easier to censor the Tweets automatically– or at least send the Twitter mob after fresh victims.


Think of this as a way to automate the thought police, so that no stone goes unturned in identifying microaggressions. And in the future, it can be expanded to any woke principles that the Twitter mob sees fit.


Of course, the algorithm is only partially accurate. So the misidentified will just have to take one for the team.

German man fined €1,500 for flipping off speed camera


For driving 9 km/h over the speed limit (about 5 mph) Germany usually issues a €20 ticket.


But when the automatic traffic cameras flashed to take a picture of the minor infraction, one man decided to flip it the bird.


The picture of him with his middle finger up made it to the German authorities. And they decided to fine him €1,500 ($1,775) instead, for the crime of being offensive.


He also had his license revoked for a month.


But at least he wasn’t caught walking his dog for only 59 minutes per day otherwise the penalties would have been even more severe!

Pregnant Australian woman arrested for social media post about COVID


Police in Victoria, Australia entered a pregnant woman’s home, handcuffed, and arrested her in front of her two young children.


It was all because of a post she made encouraging people to attend an anti-lockdown protest.


The woman was also served with a search warrant for her electronics.


The encounter was recorded until police apparently turned off the recording in order to seize the cell phone it was being filmed on. “Any device in the house, we’re taking,” the officer in the video says.


The woman was taken into custody, and charged with incitement.


It is a breach of law, under Covid rules, to gather in large groups. And encouraging people to break that law is also illegal.


It’s absolute insanity that this is where we are at.


The government can do whatever it wants to restrict the freedom of its citizens– right up to shackling and caging a pregnant woman, in front of her kids, over a Facebook post.


All in the name of safety from a virus.
