Catching Up on the Alice in Wonderland World of Politics

“When I use a word,’ Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, ‘it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.’

’The question is,’ said Alice, ‘whether you can make words mean so many different things.’

’The question is,’ said Humpty Dumpty, ‘which is to be master — that’s all.”

That quote, of course, is from Lewis Carrol's Through the Looking Glass, not Alice in Wonderland.
Not only WILL they express the correct thinking of the Elite, but - should they not be solidly aligned with them in every situation, those words now amount to BadThink.
At the link is a concept called the Celebration Parallax - which explains something I've previously considered hypocritical action, but now see as a twisted way of seeing the world. It's a mindset that is unique to the Left, and diametrically opposed to rational discussion, as the meaning of the actions/speech change, depending on the political/cultural positions of the person involved.
In other news, I'm a great-grandmother again, this time of a lovely girl. Can't wait till I can get to visit her.
Other than still waiting to find out whether our purchase of the new house will go through, that's it.
