The most bullshit thing in the world, I believe, is the inability of the human mind to correlate its contents. We live on a crapass island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and we could be journeying so much further.

Good morning.

This is your reminder to get to the gym so that you can beat up racists if you have to.

Hooo buddy, I gotta wonder about the subset of imbeciles who voted several times for the National Pedophile who have 'SHOOT YOUR LOCAL PEDOPHILE' T-shirts, and what subset of those dipshits will ever even notice the dissonance.

Give a man a fish and someone with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about people getting free handouts. Teach a man to fish? Yeah, that person with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about that too.

It’s like some gag from the office.

“ Jeffrey might be the best friend I’ve gotten the whole world. I really love that guy.”

“ Donald is the worst human being I’ve ever met. And that’s me saying that.”

I am deliriously laughing at the image of Boebert facing dawning revelation that she's actually found the pedophile elite conspiracy ring and that she's standing right in the middle of it

CLAIM: The government is run by a secret society of pedophiles

Epstein: I’m best friends with this pedo running for President, here’s a bunch of stories about how big a pedo he is

NYT: but her emails
Landon Thomas Jr of the New York Times got told by Jeffrey Epstein that Trump walked into a glass door bc he was so busy staring at girls in Epstein's house and didn't print it. wild that the Times didn't consider that newsworthy.

Just finished reading "Paradox Hotel" and by God if that book wasn't written to spec for me. The vector product of Jason Pargin's Zoey Ashe series and Connie Willis's "To Say Nothing of the Dog," plus a bonus meditation on grief and loss and coping, hot dang! A sweet understated LGBTQ romance too.

The uber-rich could be comissioning art - shows, movies, games, buildings. Instead, in their philistinism, they have comissioned hordes of podcasters to tearfully rant about how the west has fallen and nobody makes art like they used to.

Of course I'm worried about socialism. I mean, just imagine if Mamdani one day becomes President and nationalizes industry, imposes historic tax hikes, goes after the media, builds a secret national police force, militarizes the country, and sends people to camps.

Me: the side effects list says “changes in dreams” what does this mean?
Doctor: yes there are two possibilities. If you find yourself in the “abode of stones” we can work with that, but if your dreams are staged in the “blood neighborhood” you have to call me
Me: how will I know?
Dr: you’ll know

I have just now completed my Halloween essay, which is about NIGHTBREED. It was just about the coolest thing I'd seen when I was 14, its flaws are more evident now, but so are its various meanings. It has dozens of cool monsters, it's pro-freak, anti-fascist, and full of imagination. I love it.

There was a time when I was 14 years old and Clive Barker’s NIGHTBREED was my favorite movie. Maybe that was too soon to move on from BATMAN, or maybe they

Your chilly sneer
Of cold command
Your trunkless legs
Upon the sand
Once awed the Persian, Turk,
And Damascene

A pedastal
Beside your smirk
Proclaims “Look up,
You lazy jerk!
Behold the mighty work
Of great
Jolene.”
i never saw two trunkless legs
i never hope to see 'em
but i can tell you, anyhow,
i'd rather see than be 'em
Now Ozymandias was from the Himalayas, where a cold wind howls and blows.
Why he left his home in the peaks to roam 'round the sands, God only knows.
His statue fell down, the desert's boundless and completely bare;
Though it's still scrawled on his pedestal that "ye Mighty should despair!"

Happy Halloween! Welcome to...Bransylvania.

Ever since the young Count's voyage to New Spain, he had been...different. Obsessed. The bats of that region drink blood, and he would have perished of blood loss had not a local tribe restored him with a miraculous drink--xocolotl. He craves more.

A whole bunch of Americans died in a field in PA trying to stop Osama Bin Laden’s cronies from destroying the WH.

That asshole just destroyed the WH for him.

The terrorists must be so pleased.

TACO accomplished what Al Qaeda could not,

while all the mouth breathing “patriots” let him do it.

You guys, the person exercising the powers of the presidency is constitutionally disqualified from holding the office and he’s having the White House bulldozed. This is true and it’s happening, right? I’m not dreaming this?
