    many photos of Mr. Trump have been posted on the internet since 2015. Mr. Trump, to the best of my memory, has never had the facial expression and look in his eyes seen in the photo at the top of this morning’s post

    Kunstler, like most people, is under the illusion that completely corrupt systems can reform themselves. What they will do, must do, is double down on repression, tyranny, and sadism.

    “Johannes Vermeer The astronomer c1668

    If you’re wondering, astronomer and astrologer were the same thing in 1660. That’s why he has a notebook and not a telescope.

    “Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares Abruptly Quits Over “Different Views” With Board
    “Not entirely surprising news, but leaves the company without a CEO …”

    How can anyone tell? Work is now getting done?

    “Intel CEO Pet Gelsinger Retires, Stocks Jumps

    Should have left earlier. Since CEOs are paid to increase value for the company, then if they leave and the stock rises, they should pay the difference back. No, really: that’s proof positive they’ve been “holding back shareholder value” and can be sued for that. Their existence shows profits would be hired if we fired them and distributed their outrageous salaries.

    “Romanian Officials Want Election “Redo” – Claim Russian Interference After Right Wing Candidate Win

    Backsies! When I win, I win; and when I lose I win too! Daddy sez! Losing an election or a war is the same as winning it, so we just carry on anyway with The Plan.

    “Rabobank: Biden’s Pardon Risks Further Erosion of Confidence In the US Government

    Or the #Opposite, as that guy and party are kicked out big. Shouldn’t this read “The U.S. Dodged a Bullet”? Nope, it’s RaboBank, and we need to crush the U.S. to save Europe.

    “”Corrupt To The Core”: Dems In Disarray Over Hunter Pardon As ‘Rule Of Law’ Narrative Implodes

    Disarray? Nope. I guarantee you they neither know nor care.

    “Somehow’ Americans Like Trump Better Every Day” – The Nation.

    Jeez, I wonder why. Starting WWIII, pardoning open bribery and treason. Sooooo…anyone over at “The Nation” ASK anyone? WHYYYY they like Trump and think “The Nation’s” point of view is full of s—t? Maybe? Like operate a “Telephone”? Too hard!

    “Dem Strategist Wakes Up: We Need To Stop Being “The Party of Wokeness and Moral Condescension” -Julian Epstein

    Naaaaaah! If you can’t be nagging, scolding, condescending, what’s really the point, even?

    “The BRICS nations will be hit with 100% tariffs on their goods if they try to introduce a reserve currency to rival the dollar, US President-elect Donald Trump has warned.”

    What does that mean? A: Nothing. They were never intending to introduce a world reserve currency. That’s one of the major and obvious misperceptions over these few years. So Trump can just do it and SAY they are doing “A Currency”, or let them do everything they’re already doing, and ignore it. Or anywhere in between. It’s the meta-meta on the story again. “I’m gonna use these photon torpedos! On the Klingon Empire! I swear!” There’s no such thing as photon torpedoes. There is no Klingon Empire. So…knock yourself out I guess?

    P.S. what’s a guy who ring fences his nation with 100% tariffs on everyone? A: North Korea. Not the road to prosperity, fun as it would be to see, and much as it would kick-start needed industry. Orrrrr….Maybe all other nations are ALREADY not taking our dollar, because we’re worthless, conniving, defaulters. So to cover it up, “We Make S—t Up!” Rumor has it, we already have, T-bonds are already refused, which is why Long Beach, etc keep “Striking”. China won’t take our Treasuries – or not without a sweetener – so the U.S. has been hopping not to look like we defaulted and are embargoed. Same here, different excuse. But how many times can you strike per year before questions?

    “Children are now recommended to receive 32 injections by age 2 and more than 70 injections by age 18”

    Okay, that’s 1.2 per month, and one a month until 18. Then what, twice? Yearly? Until they also add Shingles? (Which seems to cause shingles? Almost only cause of Measles and Polio are the measles and polios vaccines?)

    “Special Counsel Rejects Hunter Biden’s Pardon, Files Scathing Rebuke In Court Case

    Hadn’t really thought about this, but that would be every day of two hair-raising years of his life. Wasted. Meaning like 5 other cases of hard criminals he didn’t get. AND everybody paid for it. Nothing.

    “Mexico Stops 2 Migrant Caravans After Trump Tariff Threat

    Since none of them are Mexican, what do they do with them? Send them back to China and Uzbekistan? A: Not my problem. Don’t you keep track of who enters your country, Mexico?

    “Broligarchs”, “Trump runs his inner circle like a boss, with some figures holding much more sway than others.”
    That is, he may, “weak head man, easily swayed by flattery,” Or he might “potential autocrat,”

    Uhhhh. All those things are #Opposites? Both. Neither. Ai. BOTH an Iron-willed dictator AND a pumpkinhead, easily swayed by Russia, Fox News, or Sharks.

    Goes with talking to Liberals here: All the media-installed, blue-square-sez buzzphrases: “Trump loyalists”. Um, who’s he going to hire? Your recommendation is that he hire backstabbing traitors? THAT is the problem with his picks? They’re inadequately traitorous? OF COURSE that’s a basic requirement, for any job, with anyone. So he hires people that are lock-step loyal to him, BUT ALSO all have strong, varying points of view, which means, “CHAOS!” They all “Infighting”. Look, they can’t all have different points of view AND the same point of view. They can’t be Dictator minions AND clash with Trump.

    Here’s the thing though: No one notices. Words have no meanings. Brains are all shut off. They just SAY, whatever is the worst thing to say in that moment. Just like this article. Why? Because the correct and accurate thing to say is TOTALLY BORING AND ORDINARY. Trump hired some guys. Those guys are going to do their jobs. There isn’t really an over-arching religious doctrine driving them, so he grabbed the best guy he could that would be willing to take the fire. They all are strong individuals, and Trump and the individuals are mostly all good with that. No one knows what will happen as they’re not in yet.

    What’s the problem here? Normally they would be LYING, snowing you, non-stop PR fake simulacrum of unified “Policy” while in fact, mostly the same thing would be happening, except everyone hired would be kleptocratic war-mongering statists. So their policy and view would be slightly more aligned. But really it’s the PR ILLUSION being removed that’s upsetting everyone. They can’t stand that there’s no LIE to hand-hold them, pat them on the head and say “It’s all okay.”

    What actually happens? He hires a bunch of guys. They have to report back in conference and say what they’re doing, their points of view. They clash at the table as say, Budget is rival to, War or something. Trump just listens and picks one since they’re basically all similar, it’s true that BOTH are critical, but to get anything done, you need to pick ONE. Fast. If too much trouble is had, they’re fired with no hard feelings and replaced. FAST. And move on, fast, everything behind us. He may try to lean into Don Jr’s plan one day, but the next day bigger things push him into Vance’s view.

    If you’ve been in a closet for the last 500 years, THAT’S HOW HIERARCHIES WORK. There’s a Boss. Everyone is boss of their area, but ultimately decisions that rise up are chosen by the Boss, and you DO THEM, and move on. (Or Quit, that’s okay, acceptable but sad option too). Why? Because that GETS THINGS DONE. It’s the MALE-oriented approach. There’s no committee. We don’t go back and second guess every decision we made yesterday. We don’t make Vance, the Media, Fox News, or Raytheon happy. DGAF if they they FEEEEEEL bad, DGAF if they’re happy, we considered like 500 things when we made the decision, how much heat you get is one of them, but it’s only a 1/500th, and not very large. And then you move on.

    For the love of Christ, why do I have to explain this to people? Is this not happening in your workplace every day, or not for decades so we all forgot? Boss makes mistakes, we gather data, list mistakes, present it to him, he either reverses or doesn’t. We move on. Like MEN. Get your -ss to work.

    Trump-Elon? Elon will get bored after a while, they will discover some basis they can’t align on, and he’ll go back to doing something else more, while mostly keeping up DOGE or closing out his existing responsibilities. Then he’ll be further away, and the media will have to “Make S—t Up” about something else.

    All. Totally. Normal. Example: TRUMP ATE A HAMBURGER!!!! Aiiiiiiiii!!!!! Front Page news!!!!!
    You would have to think I was f—king kidding. I am not. Trump ate a hamburger. News at 11. Walls are closing in.

    “• Delaware Judge Rejects (Again) Musk’s $56 Billion Pay-Package (ZH)

    Again I ask “How the f—” does she do that?

    “No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation; grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal; coin Money; emit Bills of Credit; make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts; pass any Bill of Attainder, ex post facto Law, or Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts, or grant any Title of Nobility.” — Article I, Section 10, Clause 1, United States Constitution

    So they can just go in, bugger with any contract, any time they feel like? Just ‘cause? I FEEEEEEEEEELZ like you were paid too much. Like you were charging too much. Like you were “Gouging” and that price is $4.01 a gallon not $3.98, because I FEEEEEEL like that’s the level. How? Yes, please settle this. I don’t think Musk should get the money either, but they signed it like a bunch of dummies and are even glad about it now, so let them. Re-deciding and rewriting every contract in America, after it’s already been written and signed, is not my job and may be more than you bargain for. Lenin thought he was smart enough to make every decision in Russia but you have to sleep sometime.

    “• Musk Again Asks To Block OpenAI’s “Illegal” Conversion To For-Profit Model (CT)

    Endlessly complicated, but let’s say you donated to a Gaza charity fund, who then decided to “Reconstitute” as a for-profit trust that pays me lavish vacations. And keeps all the original donations. That’s FRAUD. There are ways to convert, but you don’t do that because making good faith effort to contact or give-back all the original donations is too expensive and hard, and NOT doing that is FRAUD. So setting it as a Non-Profit was a FRAUD from day one, as indicated by their relentless public actions.

    “supposed to be used to correct an injustice or when a service has been done by the pardoned person that offsets the harm of the offense” –PCR,

    Another great point. The point of Pardon is NOT supposed to be political payoff, like Marc Rich. Or even for-donation as happening recently. And even if for a family, it can probably be done, and understood, but only in a narrow form. Like if he pardoned Hunter AFTER re-paying the IRS (with money that is not ALSO political, criminal, and fraudulent) we wouldn’t be that sore about it. Heck, even if Joe paid out of his own personal account. But ALL crimes, known and unknown? Defined and undefined? Which may and probably include millions funneled to cause a worldwide bioweapon pandemic and start a world war? With bribery of a sitting President, or several sitting Presidents?

    We’re so far from intended pardon, I’ve forgotten what we’re doing.

    “• The Blob Has a Migraine (Kunstler)

    Should read the whole thing again, but my posting it here won’t help that. Note, this is BREATHTAKING, like would require an Encyclopedia Britannica, and this is only SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS. Some. A few. Maybe 1/10th of the public headline ones. Are we like the most despicable lawless society in 500 years or what? As the pardon, above, you can’t do anything if the morality is not INTERNAL to them. That is, why, and how? You’re raised, from a child, with Right and Wrong, a framework and paradigm of Yes and No that’s been tested. That’s what Christianity does for you. Tells you what not to do and why. Heck, you could even say “We made it all up!!!” and it would STILL be better to pretend, like Santa Claus than not to. Without internal morality NOTHING is going to work. With it, it can work with no laws at all.

    (This is exactly what the Thermian Race did in “Galaxy Quest”, they internalized the morality and work ethic of “Next Gen” Star Trek world. For example. Yes, that would work, that’s what “Books” are, and how Japan, eg, became “Western” of sorts, and prosperous. Or modern. Or something.)

    Re-read his article, which is mostly a list, and see what we’re up against.

    “contempt for voters, calling them “f—-ing morons” and “arrogant, ignorant” adolescents.”

    Projection. Funny, but that’s what we say about them. Except that I can support my position with facts, evidence, and open debate. Since when have the lowest, poorest people been “arrogant”? Since when have people who engage with facts and debate been “Ignorant”? And so on.

    “GOP to “make your own dinner, MAGA. Make your own sandwiches, wipe your own tears.”

    Since they’re the working class exclusively, I’m sure they will. I have no idea what’s she’s getting at: it’s a male-female thing? Slur? I haven’t seen a woman make dinner or sandwiches in 30 years, so I don’t know if she was born in 1910? If I saw a woman act like one, I’d probably fall off my bridge. Yaaaaaaasss Queen. WAP Get that face tattoo.

    “• West Won’t Return Russia’s Currency Reserves – Top Banker (RT)

    Hadn’t thought of it, but I suspect after a while, they can’t. The system adjusts to the withdrawal, so to reverse it, where would the billions come from to fill the hole you “Borrowed”? It’s like “borrowing” money from the Church treasury. And when you know they’re about to count it, where do you come up with $1000, since the reason you “Borrowed” it was because you didn’t have that $1000 to begin with?

    …Causes collapse of existing system? Too easy, failures don’t happen where you’re looking, but additional and critical pressure that blows out Austria or something.

    ““The threat that Iran poses to the U.S. resembles the one faced from the Soviet Union after World War II.”

    Huh? Is Iran planning on invading and occupying us? What threat? The threat that they’ll be left alone and [our tireless busybodies and PMCs] won’t be able to meddle somewhere? And the “Atlantic Council”.

    The USSR was very different. In theory and in rhetoric (reality is somewhat different) their doctrine was to help “Workers of the World Unite” and establish one-world-wide global Communism, forever. OR ELSE. Whether you liked it or not. And it was not at all far-fetched for them to move from say, Yugoslavia to Turkey or Italy, where they lavishly funded overthrowing coup parties in many nations, or whole communist states like Cuba, ready to take Florida or Mexico on a weakness if they could. Show me where any of that was happening with Iran.

    And yes, I know we were doing the SAME THING about taking over the world for “Capitalism” (that also wasn’t) but that’s a long lecture you don’t want.

    “American strategy ultimately rests on the conviction that the U.S. could engage in a nuclear war with Russia – and prevail;”

    Yes. But “the Lie is different at every level.” This what they tell drooling retards in the Army or State department. Really, pretty sure the Kennans and Kissingers above them know full well they won’t survive, but like Dr. Strangelove if you tell them your plan is to kill 6 Billion people for sport, hide in a bunker and giggle yourself to sleep every night with unabashed joy, they’re going to think you’re crazy and not push that button for you. That’s counterproductive. How else are you going to kill 6 Billion people? Going out with a chainsaw takes too long.

    Anyway, they’ve trained morons who’ve never had an original thought in their lives, and would puff into smoke if they ever heard the truth, that we can “Totally, totally” win a broad, total nuclear exchange with Russia. ‘Cause: They’re Bluffing! How do we know? I just said it, with my lie-hole. C’mon, when have any of us ever lied or been wrong??

    “John Bolton: ‘When Has The Government Ever Lied About Attacks On Ships In A Gulf Somewhere Just To Provoke War?'” — BBee

    So you end up with HOW MANY of these Dr. Strangeloves and Slim Pickens there are, and which exact positions do they hold. Not ideal.

    “Russia has started bombing the “Islamist militants”, whoever they are or who supports them. If Iran follows suit, who knows what happens?”

    It’s an incredible muddle of misinformation – on purpose – but not good. So they’re starting WWIII all over, then FORCED Iran to more or less “invade” Syria? To directly and in mass, fight…Turkey, NATO, Israel, the U.S.? Jesus, that IS WWIII, by definition. If this remains large or expands, that’s literally irreversible Russia-China-Iran-NoKo, vs the tranny armies of the West. Just as the WEST demanded.

    Not trying to play this up until we can understand what’s going on, as it’s probably a minor expeditionary force at this time, especially with Israel collapsing on all fronts.

    “• Ukrainians Could Disappear (RT)

    Leads to the other question: have “Ukrainians” ever existed? Again, it’s called “The Borderlands”. The Border to what? So they are one people, unified and distinct, because they are actually 10% each German, Romanian, Polish, Hungarian, Russian, Greek, Tartar, etc….

    I’m pretty generous in saying that they’re a real people and a real country, but very barely. In court I could eviscerate the prosecution that says they are and win the jury to see them as just a muddle of nobodies, with no legal structure nor boundaries.

    At This very minute they lack 1) Autonomy 2) Actual borders 3) A legitimate government 4) The support of the people and 5) a population that is missing and elsewhere. On what legacy basis are they still considered a nation? See the problem? ‘Cause it was on a map for a couple years? So was India-Pakistan-Bengladesh, Congo, Rhodesia. Then the maps changed, no one cared. Go to the second-hand store, look at a globe. 50 countries aren’t there, including the largest ones.

    “Once a civilization becomes amoral, it succumbs to evil. When a civilization succumbs to evil it becomes impossible to defend.”

    As above. A de-Moral-ization, erasing all morals, scruples and norms. Not merely a de-morale-ization, where you lose heart, become Black Pilled, and give up. Newsflash, people: “Morality” comes innately from inside. From your “Creator”, that “Still, small voice” in each of us, problem being how VERY still, and how VERY small it is. So it needs a lot of encouragement to hear it. But if you have a kid, steal his toys and candy like I do, then you’ll see he has a very STRONG sense of morality and outrage indeed. Hail Krampus.

    The point is to make the nation APPEAR to be not worth defending, so you’ll open the gates and hand the keys to even WORSE guys, who paid big sums to make you APPEAR that way. But you’re not. You and your nation ARE worth defending. ESPECIALLY from anyone who would pay enormous sums to promote such pure lies.
    Britain is well worth saving, but I’m kind of busy right now and it’s not my job or responsibility. That’s yours and only you can do it.

    Tiktok: of course in 30 seconds, they immediately made the story a gay thing, and I got so bored I turned it off.

    As with so, many, all of these things, just you, me, and the cameraman. Who’s the cameraman? Why is no one notice?

    Elephants: Yeah, elephants are dicks like that, which is why people who have to live near them are really annoyed. And “Nature doesn’t just wantonly destroy.” EarthFirst EcoFront, Uh, yes they do, here’s one now. For why did he kill a barren tree? If I did that you’d never let me forget it and how all humans are trash who should be killed, made extinct. Shooting elephants and selling their parts to China is just upholding YOUR internal logic, urban environmentalists! Actually he probably dropped it ALSO to screw up traffic and do some highway robbery like those tollbooth elephants in India were doing. But wait: I have to go watch my cat torture a mouse into heart failure, then dismember and devour him alive.

    Nature’s majesty. Like New Jersey, “Nature” is a thing that needs to happen and be preserved SOMEWHERE ELSE. We need to destroy the economies of Wyoming or UK Lake District so I can have cheap, pretty vacations from my 6-figure PMC pajama job. NOT to re-plant the virgin forests in Trenton and un-pave the malls in Elizabethtown, that would be crazy, of course. Rainforests are for OTHER people, I want same-day Amazon.

    So here: wild buffalo and wolves eating your scotti dogs, Moose charging and killing your car, that’s for OTHER people. I make THEM deal with the elephants of nature while I watch it safely on TV.

    Not saying we should or shouldn’t, just looking at the hypocrisy, making it real for you. If you want nature, your own backyard might be the place. “Everybody wants to save the world, nobody wants to do the dishes.” –Buddhist speaker. It’s okay that Nature does this, the issue is when we’re so far removed we no longer understand that.

    “Control of who, what enters the US is done by US border security/guards not by Mexico or Canada)”

    That’s odd: last time I was at the border, policemen from both sides were right next to each other, first in one booth, then the other, an effective DMZ between. So they Caaaaan do it, they just don’t want to. Oddly I had heard for years after 2001, Canada would let anyone in, but America might not let back their own citizens after! Suckers! They let in everyone so long as they’re NOT citizens. True story.

    President of South Korea declares martial law, because the opposition party has control of the legislature and plans to impeach some government officials, according to Reuters.
    South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol on Tuesday declared martial law in an unannounced late night address broadcast live on YTN television. Yoon said he had no choice but to resort to such a measure in order to safeguard free and constitutional order, saying opposition parties have taken hostage of the parliamentary process to throw the country into a crisis.
    Yoon cited a motion by the country’s opposition Democratic Party, which has a majority in parliament, this week to impeach some of the country’s top prosecutors and its rejection of a government budget proposal.

    Should we be doing this?” she asked. I vividly recall the unsettled look on her face. “Should we be celebrating?”

    Out o’ tune, sir: ye lie. Art any more than a steward? Dost thou think, because thou art virtuous, there shall be no more cakes and ale?

    We shouldn’t be doing awesome stunning things like landing a rocket on its tail as God and Issac Asimov intended if there is one hungry person somewhere.

    And we shouldn’t have cathedrals. Because someone has been hungry on a continual basis since 50,000 BC. We should be waiting patiently still for the cathedrals to start.

    And people were glad to work on them knowing they wouldn’t be finished for another 300 years, glad they were going up, glad they are there.

    We can’t surrender it. We owe it to ourselves to refuse the temptation of learned helplessness and despair.” I paused. Then: “But that’s not the most important thing. We owe it most of all to the people of Palestine. It is for them we must demonstrate that the human spirit lives despite all, and that humanity’s shared capacity for joy is not extinguished.

    I think he’s giving a wrong answer here. It feels extremely wrong. The way the ancient Greeks would describe as coming from ones’ gut as opposed to one’s heart. Thinking a bit more about what is a better answer or what is the best answer would do him some good.

    Musk, The Master of Acquisitive Projective Identification second only to Trump himself.

    Hahaha!

      “We shouldn’t be doing awesome stunning things like landing a rocket on its tail as God and Issac Asimov intended if there is one hungry person somewhere.”

    A common soul, common experience

    Worshipping Musk’s venality is par for the course while the weak-minded masses internalize the projection of never being as good as Elon at anything ie. rocket science; money hoarding; personally installing 150,000 (at last count) Nvidia GPUs in 19 days armed with a two Philips screwdrivers and a single rudimentary lathe; achieving the most influence over Government than any unelected human since Hank “One of the Innocents” Kissinger; socializing the costs of EVs while privatizing all the profits into his bank account; and megalomania

    Musk equals Acquisitive Projective Identification but someone is gonna point out Elon feeds more poor ppl than me. I bet he does dear flying monkey.

    The rocket did actually in reality actually land on its tail. The cathedral soars beautifully into the heavens, the stained glass windows really actually glow – in the actual real actual world.

    “President of South Korea declares martial law…”

    South Korean is a Ghost ‘country’

    It has a .6 reproductive replacement rate. (2.1 being keep the population a stable number)

    It won’t make it to the end of the century as a distinct ethnic entity. It walking dead.

    And with a .6 repro rate, it says volumes and volumes about the culture and quality of life stuff.

    The Korean women there must really think it Sucks or maybe Korean he/him/they/them/its really Suck

    Ironic their capital is Seoul which rhymes with Soul of which they apparently have none.

    So why was it 54,000 U.S.A. lives were lost there?

    For a face losing tie?

    The Korean War was never ended. even to this day.

    Do they still need more Duh;merican blood to get motivated to have enough native babies to keep Korea Korean?

    This one will be difficult to blame on either Israel or self-hating Christian Zionists given its domestic origin and targeted implementation.
    However, I bet the local casuists will explain it to me so as not to implicate A Single Innocent.

    As an aside, it’s remarkable Penn State Jerry Sandusky’s Stomping Grounds and Pedophile U, gets treated gently compared to smaller, Christian universities

    Test drive arthropod vectors for biological warfare, you know, ticks, fleas, sandflies, lice etc.

    Seymour Hersh explains the answer in Wormwood, Netflix, and he’s his usually-suppressed prickish self by expecting victims to forgive or at least forget malignant state actors had control of your father’s puny life.

    Sy Hersh’s advice, “Get over it already. You had your audience with POTUS, you ungrateful shit”

    Have you wondered about the explosion of Tick-borne diseases and the concomitant inattention from blowhards like The CDC, Fauci, Redfield, Gottlieb, RFKjr etc?

    Dr D’s daily Eeyore mantra-

    Naaaaaah! If you can’t be nagging, scolding, condescending, what’s really the point, even?

    Then why do insist on doing it every single fucking day ?

    “For the love of Christ, why do I have to explain this to people?”

    not required at all, please stop

    agreed, no fucking shit. Dr D – shut the fuck up for a day, or two, or longer.
    Fascinating case study in your mental illness masquerading as garbage in/out.
    Interesting that you blather on about “we” all the time, and then revert to “must I”- who “we” are you speaking for?

    Seriously Dr D, what compels you to try taking up all the air in the room all the time, every day?
    Are you an internet missionary man? What the fuck are you trying to prove? and to who?

    You do realize you are showing signs of serious mental illness and fucked social media behavior yes?

    Please explain your personal rationale for your worn out daily rants? It ain’t healthy.

    yes Dr D Rich i do wonder at all of the maladies that have just appeared over the last sixty years. I wonder more that no one else wonders about them.
    The life of a walking nerve ending does not have wide appeal.

    explained the promulgation of sound through the atmosphere to a friend the other day, much to their displeasure. A couple of days later my friend, with the lilting tone of amazement in their voice, told me i was right they had heard a similar explanation on the moronoscope show The Big Bang.
    The conversation had started when kinetic energy in relation to Hazel Grove arose. “You’re giving me a headache” came before we got to the speed of sound at sea level or mass and velocity.
    Do you remember Earl Butt’s infamous statement? Take a look around brother, that quote is widely applicable to our society as a whole.

    just for fun how about a comparison of Nicholas II and his influencer and the current moment. Don’t worry you won’t even have to yell “Duck”.

    I look forward to Dr D’s stuff. And I might very well equally look forward to someone else’s stuff if they were making a counterargument or riffing on their own ideas even as a response. wtf is the namecalling from people who I know very well have something to say and can say it eloquently?

    nagging is specifically action to negatively alter the psychological state of the recipient of the nagging – typically to lower their state, ruin a good or ok mood, demoralize, interrupt rest or work, etc.

    one type, example

    Dr D- old man yelling at clouds- insisting he must for everyone else’s benefit.

    Take a breather? Enjoy life? Get a hobby that does not involve the internet?

    Reminds me of the fake bullshit- like the lady pumping gas as a secret angel, or the retarded “masterpiece” of two bimbos wanting their picture taken.

    Remember (fake) “reality tv” ?
    Now evolved to fake retarded social media “real” events. Why post that brain rot garbage?

    Look outward at the world, not at how you think your are being seen or perceived.

    Experience the real tangible world with your own adventures and experiences- not the fake garbage video world. People have been so fucking dumbed down that they now live in a completely fabricated alternate universe which bears little resemblance to reality.

    Indoor climbing gyms are not “real” climbing. They are tools to train for actually being in the mountains on real rock. The number of gym climbers calling themselves “climbers” who have never been outside climbing on real mountains is sickening.

    Ed Abbey- “Kill your tv” – save your mind.

    Experience the world through your own eyes, not a fucking video on some idiots phone.
    The number of people at the restaurant watching other peoples videos on their phones is sickening.
    Can’t be present and aware for one moment. Must always be consuming entertainment garbage.

    Not everything but pretty damn close.
    The mind is not bullshit, but you can certainly fill it to the point that it is.
