Here in the Good Old US of A we are debating about everything nowadays -- even innocent Christmas songs. "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer"? Bullying personified according to the depraved Grinches lurking on Twitter. But now the PC Police have sent the SWAT teams after a 1940's December favorite, "Baby It's Cold Outside" because it's a "toxic male" paean to the White Supreasist rape culture redolent in the USA. Or at Least in Alabama -- or Ohio, where the song has been banned by a radio station. Enough is Enough! And here's a send-up worthy of our attention:

This article in the Wall Street Journal describes how consumers, including those in Argentina, evade custom duties:
"Online companies that hook up travelers willing to deliver items to shoppers abroad are building a new industry, but their users often participate in an age-old tradition: customs evasion.

OK, Splinter. Here's the New York Post version. Sexier photo illustration and lots of links for more details. The WAPO is a stodgy info source and I shouldn't have used it given its reputation for "fake news."

Monty Python gangster, Terry Gilliam, expresses outrage that the BBC "comedy controller" disparaged the Monty Python cast as "six Oxbridge white blokes" during an explanation of how the BBC will be "diverse" unlike the Python shows. Gilliam responded that from now he will be a "black lesbian in transition" (BLT). John Cleese's comment is priceless:
“Unfair! We were remarkably diverse FOR OUR TIME ... We had three grammar-school boys, one a poof, and Gilliam, though not actually black, was a Yank. And NO slave-owners.”

China has figured out a way to make computer programming fun and more productive:
QuoteStart-up tech companies in China have come up with an unusual way to keep their employees — namely coders, programmers and engineers — happy and relaxed. Officially they’re called “programmer motivators” but they sound more like flirtatious cheerleaders.
