Programming note: On Wednesday Mark will be back with three of his most popular guests - Leilani Dowding, Alexandra Marshall and Eva Vlaardingerbroek - for a brand new edition of The Mark Steyn Show. That's at 8pm BST/3pm North American Eastern.
~On Tuesday I was reunited with my old EIB comrade Mister Snerdley - James Golden - on Bo Snerdley's Rush Hour at New York's legendary radio powerhouse 77 WABC. The main focus of discussion was the school shooting in Nashville, and the sin of the local police in misgendering a woman who identified as a man as a man who identified as a woman. There will be a lot more of this in America's future.
As to what I called the "rage" that's out there, here is a fairly random example from Steven Shaviro, Professor of English at Wayne State University in Michigan:
So here is what I think about free speech on campus. Although I do not advocate violating federal and state criminal codes, I think it is far more admirable to kill a racist, homophobic, or transphobic speaker than it is to shout them down.
I don't suppose Professor Shaviro is minded to get off his arse and kill transphobes himself - he seems the usual blowhard slacktivist - but there is a disturbing heartlessness to media coverage of three slain children at a Christian grade school that suggests the Marxist formulation of Who-Whom is well advanced along the lines the "English professor" recommends.
It's not clear, for those of us less homicidally inclined, that it's worth attempting to share a society with the likes of Steven Shaviro. The problem is it's unlikely to be an amicable divorce.

If you're a member of The Mark Steyn Club, feel free to have at it in the comments. If you're wondering what that Steyn Club's all about, well, you can find more details here - and we also have a great gift membership, which, needless to say, helps support Mark's coming legal battle against the totalitarian goons of Ofcom.
