Mitch McConnell’s corpse is still getting paid that sweet, sweet unlimited sick leave he received as a formerly alive senator.

Holy shit! Tubi has Thundarr the Barbarian! Finally, someone at one of these damn streaming services has figured out what’s what and made my dream a reality!

It’s almost as though you can use that fuckery as a nigh-unerring predictor of the people who should be surgically rendered incapable of ever again formulating an opinion.

The shittiest hot takes in Facebook comments are inevitably produced by dudes whose profiles proclaim that they studied at places like the School of Hard Knocks, Nunya Bizness, or Your Mom’s House.

If you think the point of government is anything other than to provide for people, to aid and to serve them, and to make their lives easier, better, freer, safer, more dignified, and more affordable, then I don’t know what to tell you, other than that you’re an irredeemable shithead.

The number of staggering fuckwits who genuinely believe there’s any such thing as “honestly earning” a billion dollars or more would shock me, were it not for my unshakeable conviction that the depths of human idiocy are truly bottomless.

There just has to be an 18th century sandwich (or sandwich-adjacent food item) with sufficiently intriguing historical curiosities about it to warrant all three channels covering it. I know—I dream big. Maybe too big.

Stephen Michael DiPesa @nocturnalchemy.bsky.social · 10/06/2026

It would obviously have to involve food between two slices of bread (or, at the very least, an open-faced sandwich-type-thing—Barry, and rightly so, considers those to be fair game), but I think this is a thing that can be managed.

It’s a dream of mine to see a three-way collaboration between Townsends, Tasting History, and Sandwiches of History.

Castle Rat, working hard to improve on perfection—they’re apparently intending for their next album to have a very Type O Negative, mid-to-late-90s goth-metal feel to it.

I remember, watching the riot on Rix Road in the first season of Andor for the first time, when the Imperial officer directs a random Stormtrooper to silence the percussionist in the tower, instantly saying to myself, “Well… you just sent that man to his death.” It was a great pleasure to be right.

Like, it rattled the walls of all the relevant houses. One plyer was too far away, on the other side of the state, so she didn’t feel it. Turns out, it was a meteor that dropped on Boston.

I’m in the middle of a Discord session of D&D with some friends, and we tracked a massive boom in real time across most of the players, in succession, based on our distance from it.

At this point, they’re going to be lucky if they can drag some decaying animatronic bands from long-defunct children’s restaurants out of abandoned warehouses to play Freedom 250.

Corporations are sociopaths motivated solely by money, and will engage in exactly as much evil fuckery as they can get away with in the name of profit. Any legal room you give them to pollute, they will instantly take. So, yes, dispensing with regulations automatically results in more pollution.

000

Stephen Michael DiPesa @nocturnalchemy.bsky.social · 26/05/2026

Well… it’s still a decent ways before midnight, but I’m willing to call it on the stupidest thing I’ll see today: “Just because you get rid of the regulations doesn’t mean there’s automatically more pollution.”

This was a movie that people made on purpose. They knowingly spent actual real money on it, and then, when it was finished, reviewed what they’d done and said, “Yeah… this is definitely a thing that deserves to be shown in theaters.”

It’d be like me saying I want to see the entire set of instruction manuals at the nearest nuclear power plant so I can satisfy myself that this thing is on the up-and-up—I’d have no fucking clue what I was even looking at.

Stephen Michael DiPesa @nocturnalchemy.bsky.social · 13/05/2026

The answer to that question, of course, is, “Probably not, but you can surely see a good many of them. The problem is that you lack the education and training necessary to properly understand what you’d be seeing.”

I just saw a comment on a post about the safety of vaccines, asking, “Can I get a copy of every study that claims vaccines are safe?”

However, non-billionaires who defend billionaires’ “right” to have as much money as they can squeeze out of the rest of us are certainly on the short-list of contenders for the coveted #1 spot.

It’d be difficult, at best, to concretely define the precise demographic objectively identifiable as “stupidest motherfuckers on the planet.”

So long as I live, I will surely never forget the dude I saw get mercilessly roasted years ago online for his handle of “ẞilly ẞadass,” using the German sharp—which is to say, double—s, thereby inadvertently going by “Ssilly Ssadass.”

Imagine being the kind of pseudo-sentient pile of runny shit that believes their tax dollars shouldn’t go to feeding kids free meals at school, and not even having the decency to swallow an entire gallon of bleach and then sit down to wait for it to do its work.

Stephen Michael DiPesa @nocturnalchemy.bsky.social · 04/05/2026

They didn’t get to be the richest assholes in the history of the planet by giving back equitably to the society that enabled them to accrue their obscene wealth. Change the law to serve the people. Tax billionaires out of existence.

010

Stephen Michael DiPesa @nocturnalchemy.bsky.social · 04/05/2026

This is all pretty fucking simple. Whatever the ultra-wealthy are spending on taxes isn’t enough, because it’s always going to be cheaper for them to buy politicians and laws than it is for them to contribute their fair share to the common weal.

100

Stephen Michael DiPesa @nocturnalchemy.bsky.social · 04/05/2026

If you scoff at the notion that we’re presently embroiled in a class war with the ultra-wealthy as the aggressors, you’re either lying or an idiot—there is no third option.

I'm not in the habit of taking advice from those who champion the environmentally ruinous lying theft engines that are AI.

Capitalism apologists are really the worst sort of human garbage, with their, “No one ‘deserves’ a living wage—a job is worth exactly the smallest salary someone with money is willing to pay to receive what they consider to be an acceptable standard of work,” fuckery.

Stephen Michael DiPesa @nocturnalchemy.bsky.social · 03/05/2026

The setup of the show implicitly makes the Lost Cause argument—heroic rebels just doing their best to live free of the tyranny of a more citified and industrialized elite with no respect for their culture and traditions.

Stephen Michael DiPesa @nocturnalchemy.bsky.social · 03/05/2026

This, in turn, automatically reframes the entire conflict with the Alliance, literally, as one solely of “state’s rights” versus “federal overreach.”

Perhaps the biggest problem with Firefly is how it very obviously codes the primary protagonist, Malcolm Reynolds, as a Confederate veteran, while ducking the entire question of slavery.

Republican shitheels saying, “It’s good that part of the Civil Rights Act was gutted—it subjects our elections to unfair discrimination,” while still being in favor of the Electoral Fucking College. Hypocrites. Top to bottom, fucking hypocrites.

My (nonexistent) kingdom for a job search website that gives you an option to exclude all jobs that involve any kind of interaction with generative AI. Of course, the problem is that it would end up being… like… six job offers, total.

She did this despite being wedded to something that answers the door to the haunted castle on a rainy night while wolves howl in the distance, lantern in hand, declaring that guests are welcome, but the Master is currently… indisposed.

Katie Miller, wife to Actual Ghoul Stephen Miller, had the sheer fucking audacity to claim on the internet that liberal men are unattractive. She did this of her own free will, in a place where words are eternal.

Just as a heads-up to the decent people who care about this sort of thing, Brendan Carr, the Trump lickspittle and Project 2025 contributor who currently heads the FCC, is pondering the notion of implementing a new ratings system for trans and gender identity content.

The bots showing up to troll any Facebook page critical of Republicans aren’t even fucking trying, anymore. Am I truly supposed to believe that two friends-having new account Spogrow MacGrunty is really some dude from Akron, Ohio who actually exists?

Point them at the studies and they just offer such shitheaded replies as, “Enjoy being left in the past.” Yes, I will, indeed, enjoy being left in the past, where we are still capable of such antiquated feats as reading and thinking.

There are many aspects to the use of generative AI that enrage me, but perhaps the most insanely infuriating one is that, despite peer-reviewed scholarly analysis clearly illustrating how reliance upon it quantifiably makes a person stupider, there are still assholes out there eager to defend it.

Stephen Michael DiPesa @nocturnalchemy.bsky.social · 21/04/2026

I suspect a lot of folks have reached the "essentially mentally and emotionally shut down and now barely functional; certainly no longer fit for any form of human interaction" stage.

On this date, the 126th anniversary thereof, let us dare to hope that the Battle of Blythe Road occurred precisely as the tales tell, and is not, instead, merely so much sensationalized hogwash, if only because Aleister Crowley—so very truly and deeply—deserved to be kicked down a flight of stairs.

“How can you possibly believe Pete Hegseth didn’t realize he was quoting Pulp Fiction, rather than an actual Bible verse?” Oh, that’s simple—because Pete Hegseth is a drunken idiot.

One who doesn’t even know how to buy their own toilet paper because of ancestral affluence is afforded the luxury of staggering idiocy as a sort of birthright.

Donald Trump doesn’t know what a corner store is, because being born rich gives a person access to a special kind of stupidity that the poor cannot presume to embody while still surviving.

Absolute staggering dipshits: “I miss when the writing on Star Trek was good and the social messaging wasn’t totally in your face.”

“But… taxes are theft!” Awesome. If you believe that way, you should move somewhere that doesn’t have taxes. Note—this is essentially nowhere on Earth since the invention of money.

Stephen Michael DiPesa @nocturnalchemy.bsky.social · 12/04/2026

Otherwise, you end up with dipshits who believe that the greediest assholes ever to exist will, if freed from all constraints on their avarice, choose to make a paradise for us all.
