A Strong, Intelligent Woman
Ben Shapiro commented on a Twitter post from a woman who decided that hysterically screaming obscenities was a good thing to share with everyone. Someone purporting to be a doctor apparently thinks that hysterically screaming obscenities is the definition of strength and intelligence:
I especially enjoy her response to some of the, um, negative feedback she got for that:
I would think that a medical doctor would know that “paralegal” is not a handicap. Hang on a minute. . .
Obviously, you don’t want to get your Ph.D. in PairUHD Oppression Lit from Northworst University. I also see that she identifies as a white POC. Well, good for her.
Swimming in the open sewer is such fun.

I thought everyone knew that
Yeah, it could sound like parody or it could sound like Pair of D’s, but if that was the case she would probably have like a million followers.
I think almost everyone involved has finally decided that California is a lost cause, and need to get out pronto.
With the exception of Klavan, who seems to be staying in LA. I’d bet that’s why he’s spinning off his YouTube channel.
Remember when the line between reality and satire was clearly delineated? Pepperidge Farm remembers…
Yeah, Babylon Bee started a Not the Bee site where they show real news stories just as ridiculous as the fake ones on the Bee
I was able to play the screamer video on twitter – I saw it earlier in the day. Like it said, it didn’t appear to be a parody to me.
Before the real estate market crashes and you can’t get out what you paid in. Unless you’re in San Francisco and you’re already screwed, take the hit and leave anyway.
The Bee also routinely notes when their previous parodies suddenly become real. Or as they call them “Prophecies Fulfilled!”
This one was fulfilled in 15 minutes:
You meant she needs a good doctor, right?
I’m still confused.
Maybe she’s moving to Vanderbilt?
Say each part out loud.
Pair
Uh
Dee
Yeah, it’s hard to parody people who self-parody. How do you stay ahead of them?
Apologies for inserting this inappropriate question here, but can someone tell me how to get in touch with Blue Yeti or a reasonable facsimile of B.Y. I have been demoted from Thatcher to “member” and am wondering why. Tried to write to info@ricochetdotcom but it was returned as “address no longer valid.” I’m unable to locate on the site where one writes with a question or problem. Thanks much.
Check your settings. Go to your wall (click your avatar picture in the top-right of the screen). Select ‘Profile’, and then ‘Badge’ from the sub-menu. There is a checkbox that controls whether your membership level is displayed.
Those have gotten reset a couple of times in the past. But if that doesn’t fix it, there may be a change in your account.
Fixed. Much appreciated, Judge Mental
Decades ago Mort Sahl said it was impossible to be a satirist. All one had to do was read the newspaper headlines and realize he couldn’t compete with them.
OK; parody and satire aren’t really the same, I suppose, but Sahl had a point then and now.
I like her handle: “ResitsTrump.” I’m guessing that she didn’t get her Ph.D. in Spelling.
