Every time I hear Lutnick’s name I feel compelled to say “Nut Lick”

I am hated because I told them the truth.

Damn, Erika Kirk really did not give a fuuuuu

I know all eyes are on Minneapolis, but there's a fast-approaching nightmare in Springfield, Ohio. Trump is revoking protected status for tens of thousands of Haitians living there on Feb. 3. Reportedly, on Feb. 4, 1000 ICE agents are arriving to remove this population. Ethnic cleansing.

Its genuinely maddening.

It is hard to remind myself that some people are looking for fights online because its the most release they can get. Even if the people they are hitting are likely more on their side than they can to accept in the moment because in the moment they need those people to embody those they can’t hit.

Recently been relistening (Jim Dale) to the series and, being honest, it’s entirely adequate. The books were good at taking things kids were familiar with and making them exciting, school most of all. There are “oh god, what?” moments, but the series on the whole is ok. Rowling is trash though.

In other words “Comply or Die”

There were no good orcs because orcs don’t exist. What they are meant to embody does exist. Cruelty. Sadism. Compliance to brutal authority. Wanton destruction. Hatred of the powerless. Cowardice in the face of bravery. The debate is over. There are no good orcs.

“Don’t give yourselves to these unnatural men - machine men with machine minds and machine hearts! You are not machines! You are not cattle! You are men! You have the love of humanity in your hearts! You don’t hate! Only the unloved hate - the unloved and the unnatural!“ - The Great Dictator

mr president, you've lost the silksong subreddit

He doesn’t even know what an inflation IS.

Keep wanting to address an article that has me incensed. But reminding myself that arguing and shitting online is not a productive use of my time or life. But taking a smug “Oh to be Cassandra of Troy” attitude while basically reciting the Borg line “resistance is futile“ gets me mad.

Its also what dementia patients do. They babble on and on and on.

Ya know, Angmar is interestin. we know basically nothing about it except it had a fortress, the Witch King had some kind of power in winter and it destroyed Arnor. The Angmar wars went on for hundreds of years to the point it would have just been normal, but we hardly know diddly about it.

The king cannot be wrong, only misled by wicked advisors.

I think if the Supreme Court takes tariffs away from Trump he might literally stroke out from sheer rage.

Okay, long shot. Get me into the White House, dress me up as a general and I will play RISK with Trump all day, every day. When he takes a territory I‘ll clap and say he’s a military genius. Alternatively, we put a Vic2 game on autoplay for him and tell him its a simulation that he needs to study

“They are lesser sons, of greater sires” Hate that I have to quote Saruman to sum up my disdain for the Democratic Party, but here we are

Shoulder and Back day accomplished. Now for choccy milk and protein powder. I must force the whimsy, or succumb to the dark.

The US is best conceived as a revolutionary state for multiracial liberal democracy beset constantly by a powerful anti-revolutionary movement seeking to overthrow it from within. Will gets this and sits solidly on the side of the revolution.

The daily struggle not to become Denethor. Using a device that is LITERALLY under the sway of the enemy to show images of defeat and doom while I try to stay informed. To not become cynical and hopeless. Not to see resistance as vainglorious or naïve. To stay sane waiting for the hammer to fall.

Shit…guys…you think I should start over?

this is the funniest thing i’ve ever read. isaac chotiner interviews a resident of the town from the lottery. archiveofourown.org/works/73396436

No politics or geopolitical dread. Just ink work on a Middle Earth map. Don’t totally love my letters but I’ll persevere.

It could happen tonight. Or tomorrow. In a week…or a month…two months…or six. A year. Two? But it will happen.

Holy shit.

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again. Soft Apocalypse crap is the whisper saying “It’s going to be ok after we jump” as society tiptoes on the edge of the damn bridge.

Just gonna scream a little into the void. I do think things will get better. I sincerely do. But I think that that will only happen after things have been shaken so badly that the people allowing it to get so bad are utterly without credit and finally lose social power.

We had elections in WW2 and the Civil War

Soft core apocalypse stories are no different than someone believing everything will be better when they throw themselves off a bridge. I will not be moved on this.

Today’s card of the day is Cartographer

I made as complete a Star Wars galaxy map as I could and I am afraid that Star Wars’ galactic geography makes no sense when looking at various storylines.

In a few more months we will be getting the schadenfreudic pleasure of MAGA realizing that their Christmases are going to be pretty scant this year thanks to the anti-Santa’s tariffs. And he will be telling them to stop bitching and be grateful.

I’ve been exploring the map and I would just really like more detail. This map and the site itself from has planets and sectors but that’s all meaningless. I want to know species, wealth, primary biomes and resources, Republic or CIS? Imperial or Rebel? Inhabited or populated? I need information.

What is the emotional pay off for these assholes in being evil? Like they are reveling in doing evil, they love it, but why?

Every now and then I find myself arguing online and its always frustrating, I just slip into it. I’m not going to change anyones mind. No one is reasonable or looking to learn. It’s shit throwing dressing itself up as some grand moral action.

I always try to keep in mind we live in an attention economy now. Our time is money. Our eyes are money. And getting our eyes and our time has become a science. Drama, outrage, villain of the week, hot take, beef etc etc etc these can all be maximized, gamed, manipulated to increase profit.

So what I can gather with the whole Grok thing is that Musk really wants himself in AI form, with all the supposed impartiality and omniscience assumed with a glorified math problem. The problem that he is facing is that there is no way to translate his erratic; drug fueled idiocy into an algorithm

Tomorrow I will call my congressman. I don’t think it will achieve anything. But I’ll call. I am hoping this god awful bill that will hurt literally millions to fund a few billionaire leeches won’t also destroy my own budget by raising my student loan cost, my utility cost, my healthcare cost etc.

Dagon Urul, a planned rework in Tamriel Rebuilt. A northern ashland waste inhabited by the Telvanni Dust Adepts and a few tribes of Ashlanders. Dagon Urul is toxic and inhospitable, a land covered by the expulsions of the volcanoes of Boethia’s Spine it takes much just to be able to survive here.

Starting a little coloring

Saw Jeffries response to Dems getting detained and Jesus. The man is utterly brainless. Those words were mouth fed to him by a consultant/strategist who is paid big bucks to couch Democratic weakness and fecklessness in flowery language that makes them feel clever and moral while losing.

youtu.be/LemUVOOi5S4?... Smart PhD person is smart

Grievous was justified in hating the Republic and the Jedi. Also the CIS were the good guys and only did bad things because Dooku and Sidious needed the war to become bitter and intractable. Change my mind.
