I listened to the first episode in my bunker, furiously taking notes, and stringing red twine between photos and maps on my wall-sized corkboard. But seriously, there was so much information! Can't wait to hear you take down Besel van der Kolk. I'd love to hear about Christian teen kidnapping camps.

When you get to the point where you have to clean up a spot in order to make a mess in order to start clarifying things, you are in trouble. Your life becomes an eternal "tile game."

Here! Here! I do indeed agree, Good Sir! In fact all of us here at the Academy do indeed agree with your nuanced and enlightening views of #enshittification. Now please continue on, and enlighten us all with your views on #amazeballs.

"The #Economy" is the subtle art of trading NOT dropping #nuclear #bombs on people in exchange for not letting us know that we live off of #slave #labor. For example: How much should an #egg cost in exchange for not dropping a nuclear bomb on you? How do we work this out? What's the exchange rate?

I have seen thousands of homeless people over the decades. Not once have I seen a (self-described) #Christian washing their feet, offering them the shirt off their back, or giving them all of their #money. When that's the norm, we can look into enshrining Christian #Values into our laws.

One million dollar study on #homelessness reveals: We need a $10,000,000 study. Ten million dollar study on homelessness reveals: We need a $100,000,000 study. One hundred million dollar study on homeless reveals: We can solve the problem! All we need is $111,000,000.

I just realized I've had a $15/month #autopayment going to #KONY2012 for the last thirteen years. That's $2340. I wonder if I can get that back?

Living in 2025: It would cost $1,000,000,000 to end #homelessness. So let's form a $2,000,000,000 initiative to explore how we might get that down to $975,000,000.

I was afraid of the Right creating financial black holes through an interconnection of "churches", "charities", PACs and offshore finagling. But I guess I should have been worried about straight, cash bribes.

If you show up to play #baseball, and the first batter beats the #umpire to death and declares his team has won, and no one does anything about it, then that's what baseball is now. Eventually, baseball becomes ONE team gets to beat the umpire to death, and everyone can sing a song if they want to.

A #priest, an #atheist and a #rabbit are sitting alone in their rooms in separate parts of their country. They will never meet, much less go to a bar, or cross a road. Their lives are meaningless as none of them were, are or ever will be #corporations.

The coast of England is so fascinating, especially in places with long tidal flats. At some times of the year, you can't tell where the land, sea, sky, mist or clouds begin or end.

This has been bugging me for fifty years: WHAT THE HELL IS "Send in the Clowns" by Judy Collins about? She's been putting out albums one after the other for SIXTY YEARS! Unbelievable voice. #JudyCollins WELL, MAYBE NEXT YEAR... WHAT? What is this song about?

Every single day I notice a new, tiny "Fuck You" that the world has to offer. Hey, you're favorite snack now comes in a 7⅝ ounce bag instead of 8, and the price has gone up. Just our little way of saying, "Fuck you." Hey! Forty police to hassle a 72 year old legless woman at a bus stop at 3:20 AM!

If you are over 50 in the USA, your life is over. It's going to be a twenty plus year #unavoidable #descent into #kleptocracy, #corruption, #autocracy, #civilwar, #economic #decline, #environmental #disaster, and #revolution. Before a plodding twenty plus year crawl out of the #quagmire.

I am guessing about a 20% chance of the first person being killed by an #armed #security #robot at the last protest before complete descent into #dictatorship coming in April. 100% - Drones photographing people, facial recognition sold to private "security", used as a screening mechanism for hiring.

The #legislature has abdicated. The courts are issuing rulings. The #executive is ignoring them. There is no enforcement mechanism. That's it. It's over. The USA is a #dictatorship. There is no going back. There will not be elections in 2026. There will not be an #election in 2028. #Rubicon crossed.

Nothing is going to change until "The Left" gets very, very violent. Violence is the only thing "The Right" understands. It's currency to them, and if the Left doesn't use it, then the Right will continue to "print money." They will have a monopoly on violence and will continue to use it.

I read the Pledge every day for two years in High School. I paused and said nothing at all for two beats when the "under God" part came up. No one ever noticed I wasn't saying it. The people who cared were reciting the pledge aloud along with me, and didn't hear that I wasn't saying it.

I am adopting the $2 bill as a personal symbol of blind perseverance in the face of opposition — persisting beyond all reason for no reason other than to say "Fuck you, I ain't goin' nowhere," to everyone in the world. WE DON'T WANT YOU HERE! I don't give a shit. I'm not giving up. I will endure!

Sometimes I am in a place in the winter, and there are peple coming in, and they hold the door open for an absurd amount of time. They might open the door, take a step in, and hold the door open while they are yelling at a friend, "Hurry up!" Or they might hold the door open while wiping their feet.

It's the seventh anniversary for me, of seeing "Phantom Thread." I am still #angry about it. There is only one #movie I hated more: #Sunshine (2007). I had to actively stifle #groans and #shouting while watching this #monstrosity. I have never hated a film character more than #Reynolds #Woodcock.

It's settled. We will be The Captain and Tennille. Now we need a hit song. Something about #love. But what about love? We need to imagine the #perfect love. I want to use this goofy keyboard setting that sounds like a rodent squeaking. We should write a song about #muskrats #fucking. #Muskrat Love.

My name is Daryl #Dragon and your name is Toni #Tennille. We want our band to have "Tennille" in it, no question. We could be DRAGON and TENNILLE, sure? But what if we pretend I am a chef? Then we could be The Chef and Tennille. Or better yet, a #CAPTAIN! The Captain and Tennille.

Don't let anyone talk you into brightly colored, thick glasses frames. When someone does this, they are acting like they are being "bright" and "positive". What they are really doing is attempting to get you to carry a label of #outcast.

No, you won't. It's PERFECT over here. Everyone who disagrees with you is wrong about everything. All the bad people realize they are wrong and are showing proper deference and humility to US, the righteous. It's glorious! Merely by "changing platforms" we have everything here and IRL.

You can write a very small #program that makes billions of people's lives better and never see a #penny from it. You can write a mountain of #code that goes out of its way to make people's lives worse, and also never see a penny from it. And you can do nothing, and rake in #billions.

#AI is exceeding #human capacity by orders of magnitude already. Here is the test: Here are all the art supplies you can imagine, you have three seconds to compose a thirty second animation of Will Smith eating spaghetti. Go. How did you do? Was it better than "AI"? Did you get the hands "right"?

I'd like a name for the vague feeling that one has said something stupid somewhere on the internet, and one must find it and erase it before anyone reads it. I am having the feeling now, and I am tracking backwards through all my comments, erasing them, just in case.
