#319 - Opium War 4: Peddling the Drug Peddlers' War

War is always a dirty thing, but this one dirtier than most.
Even so... someone's gotta sell it...

Someday a lot of these people are going to come to some form of realization that they could've made a sandwich, or a salad, or a taco, or fried rice, or a soup & gotten literally all of the benefits they want without resorting to making food into a joyless self-punishment slurry.
this "boy kibble" thing is clearly coding any enjoyment of the aesthetic of food as feminine and more importantly, another step toward a culture where people view the joy of cooking as incompatible with daily life: www.nytimes.com/2026/02/09/s...

"The first thing China will do is terminate ALL Ice Hockey being played in Canada & permanently eliminate the Stanley Cup"

NOT TRUE!
The Stanley Cup will not be "eliminated," but merely repurposed as tribute to reforge the 九鼎 of Sovereignty that were once lost

China respects barbarian ice rituals!
He belongs in a mental hospital. Truly.

And while attacking Canada *AGAIN* like a deranged maniac he kisses Putin’s ass non-stop and allows him to murder people every hour.

The part in here about hockey is quite literally insane.

"Republicans lead on Election Day in many of these contests"

... have... have you guys looked at the polls recently? "Early Republican lead counties" are foing to be in Northern Idaho and the Oklahoma panhandle, maybe.... probably not too many others
Over the past three weeks, the "nightmare scenario" for November's midterms has grown more plausible www.vox.com/politics/478...

This is this generation's Jon Stewart telling Tucker Carlson: "The show that leads into me is puppets making crank phone calls. What is wrong with you?"

I got a 12 hr suspension for telling this guy his wife had every right to kick him in the balls before divorcing him for doing this.

No regrets.
He deserves to get kicked in the balls.

I could literally recite the full lyrics of "Cruel Angel's Thesis" or "The Real Folk Blue" at the drop of a hat, and give you a pretty comprehensive running translation from sheer memory & that was way before I learned even my pre-school level Japanese.

Fascinating.

I am located in over of the quieter suburbs between the "Internet Culture" and "American Intellectual" arms of the galaxy, that I am calling the "Nerdy History & Library People Local Cluster."

both the president and literally everyone else understand any statement of a moral principle -- any moral principal -- as a denunciation

To reject the US as a fundamentally American country with a deep shared history and commonality with the rest of the Americas, including that Spanish has long been our de facto national second language, is on a deep level anti-American. It's hating actual American culture and history and tradition.

Long has the rest of the world wondered why Americans insist on calling the sport “football,” so we decided to arrange for today to explain it thoroughly…

Truly Incredible that we’re living in the era of $8 million “look at your piss” ads & “check your prostate” ads at the same time.

It was a performance that modeled literally every positive social value the people who refused to watch it claim to adore, so they could instead watch a cosplay trailer-trash nepobaby drawl about statutory being mandatory.

Personally, I think more toilets should advise us to look at our piss through the magic of song.
