Just looking at him you can tell he wants everyone everywhere to be as happy as he is.
What am I that the cold Moon fosters, and the ardor of the Sun?

Where's the NRA? They said they were going to protect everybody from government gone crazy when it came down to it. I thought that was why they lobbied so long and hard for no gun laws!

Vampires are real in that sense... the current regime in the White House are vampires imho. These times are a trial, and it helps if you have managed to foster some skills to stay centred. That's the real work.

The Scots, a superstitious people by their own reckoning, regard second sight to be as much a curse as a blessing. Science says perception of reality fluctuates dependant on sugar levels in the brain. Sometimes there is big stuff passing through, eh?

Pretty sure the emotions I experience aren't always mine. Right out of nowhere sometimes. Viewed as a gauge, 'meat things' are way more sensitive than anything technology has ever come up with. Dogs and children are my Exhibit A.

They didn't promote the vaccine last Fall, it's my tax money they wasted and now I have to pay for their waste. They are suck holing to these crazy people because they hate the federal party in power so much. And they are Objectivists who are ruled themselves by foreign fossil fuel investors.

Some around here use 'smag' to describe what comes out of your nose when you have a really bad cold. Or what gets dredged from a stopped up drain in a bathtub...

We've made a joke about it. There is a vernacular here where people say "I seen..." instead of I saw. We round the 't' in Waterton, we say Woddert'n, and hun'n' (instead of hunting). And lots of people say lie-berry. It's quaint but kinda annoying if they are older than about 12. 😄

I didn't watch it but was surprised that Thiel and Peterson had anything to talk about let alone enought to fill an hour and a half mutual co-interview. Well, except for anything Dominion Theory oriented. Why does everything have to be so dystopian in their utopias?

... foreign to their nature. Stalin tried to starve them into submission, to death, and now this for the last 3 years. Putin is no different than Stalin, arrogant and sadistic, and President Sandpounder wants to be like him. He thinks he's an 'alpha', but he ain't. He's just a dink.

I've studied this for years in several old friends. They ~want~ the World to end. The prospect makes them giddy because they think they won't have to die and will go to heaven for steadfastly believing. They want to save themselves so bad they are willing to destroy everything and everybody.

I knew three or four what I would call bonafide alpha males back when. They didn't need to prove anything and they didn't need to advertise, and they didn't call themselves alphas. The guys that did instinctively gave them a wide berth. These guys today aren't alphas, they're just assholes.

I've decided MAGA isn't so much a political force as it is a market demographic that can be steered like an Italian sports car... with no brakes. Cheap bling and base emotional reactions, even when they are relatively calm and sort of happy.

We're painting our house. Started at Easter about 100 days ago, chipping away as time and energy permits between storms. We've got three walls scraped and primed and two right finished trim and all. I found myself singing this a couple weeks back when I started the west wall. 90 days to Hallowe'en.

Speculation and conspiracy thinking are two different things. If the real details continue to be suppressed speculation will continue, and some of it will spiral and become outlandish. In a world where all media has become tabloid stuff distortion is the norm, and it is being curated.
