Infinity

To my father, who taught me abandonment, and my mother, who taught me futility.

I am such a nothing. Really. That’s the truth. Potential unrealized is just a measure of wasted time.

Why do molecules form themselves into such patterns that they are able to ask themselves “Why do molecules form themselves into such patterns that they are able to ask themselves “Why do molecules form themselves into such patterns that they are able to ask themselves … ?”

Why should I work so hard at life when it’s going to be gone so soon?

Information is recognition.

Everyone wants you to be their slave. This is the nature of human relations.

The worker may control the means of production, but the corporation controls the means of communication.

Productivity is a measure of the ratio between corporate greed and public gullibility.

You can’t just tell the truth to people. They haven’t had the benefit of years of brilliant analysis to reach the conclusion. If you pop it on them, it will offend and even damage their delicate sensibilities. That’s why teachers rarely tell the truth, and if so then not until the very end. If you tell people the absolute truth, they will become upset and nail you to a tree and make a religion out of you. And then, they’ll get that wrong.

Survival leads to boredom.

We are, at best, caretakers, and I suspect we are on our way to being terminated, as were the dinosaurs before us.

Life is nothing but problems, and the only reward for solving them is more problems.

I have done bad things. It is impossible to keep that from overshadowing everything else.

Is it just a coincidence that Kyle MacLachlan as Paul Atreides in David Lynch’s “Dune” says “If you walk without rhythm, you won’t attract the worm,” while Fatboy Slim in his song “Weapon of Choice” says “If you walk without rhythm, you won’t attract the woman”? Update: years later I finally heard that FS is saying “worm”. Now, I am not sure what he was intending to say.

The world was a beautiful place, until those white bastards started moving in.

Whenever I turn off the television, I feel as if a great weight has been lifted from my shoulders.

The problem with being close to someone is you have to be close to someone.

Gravity is a repulsive force. Space and mass are mutually exclusive. Mass is actually a distortion in space, much like tiny bubbles of steam forming in water as it starts to boil. Mass is a standing wave. Energy is a travelling wave. Mass pushes space out of the way and compresses it. This compression causes space to be shorter and therefore objects travel faster through that space relative to uncompressed space. This acceleration is called gravity. Bodies orbit other bodies because the space around the more massive body is curved. The orbiting object sees itself as travelling in a straight line, as mass is wont to do. But, the space through which that line passes is curved, and thus the line of trajectory is curved, resulting in a circular orbit. I like to think of space as a uniform block of gelatin, with a pingpong ball carefully inserted into the middle through a slice. The gelatin around the ball is compressed out of the way until the force of compression decreases with distance to zero. Everything between zero and the surface of the ball is what we call gravity. Space is elastic, mass is relatively inelastic. If you’re researching gravity as an attractive force, you’re barking up the wrong tree.

The corporations and politicians want you to spend all your worrying time on light bulbs and power adapters and hybrid automobiles. You should not have any time left to even remember the real problem facing this planet. A human being needs about one square mile of arable land to sustain a comfortable lifetime. There are about one billion square miles of arable land on this planet. There are nearly seven billion human beings on this planet. Do the math. By the year 2100 the whole world will become a desert, and we’ll all get to live the Fremen experience.

The biggest rip-off of them all is life. You never get what you pay for.

What vanity, to believe that we own this planet. We’re just recycled material, like everything else.

I can’t stand hearing great songs being perverted into marketting tools.

Heaven is two hours of Doctor Who with potato chips. Well, why not? Oh. Sorry. Crisps.

Bury my heart at Chicken Delight.

Common Sense: an attribute of most animals and some humans to discern the difference between an inside straight and a quick exit.

If cats ran the world, there would be carpet squares on the table instead of plates.

Going back to gravity, I also believe that if we can develop technology that allows us to manipulate the harmonic frequencies of space itself, we can create and destroy mass and energy at will. You need something? Make it appear out of nothing. Are you through with it? Send it back to nothingness. That would be sweet.

Simplicity is elegance in and of itself.

The government does not want to get rid of all the criminals, else the public would have no criminals to focus their attention on except the politicians themselves.

Any tribe that wanders through a desert for forty years under orders from a talking shrub should be avoided.

What nobody seems to realize, maybe not even Darwin himself, is that evolution is completely random. There are constraints, and everything seems to fit in with the bell curve, but within the constraints there is randomness. Things don’t evolve because they are smart. The things that evolve in conformity with their environment survive. Those that evolve contrary to their environment do not survive. The environment is the slow change process. Evolution of life is the quick change process within the slow change process. Everything is random. We are all mutants.

Have you noticed that all children’s television advertising of the past few decades is for food and toys? Food and toys. Our children are being groomed as consumers.

The corporations must be destroyed.

The ultimate goal of all existence is the perfect expression of total balance.

The two greatest crimes against humanity, beside anything done by every government in the past five thousand years, are Microsoft Windows and Sun Java.

Why couldn’t alien visitors be silly? One would hope that beings capable of crossing interstellar distances would gain a perspective on the fleeting nature of life, and how things like war and poverty and greed are just silly and stupid, and should be avoided. How about aliens with a sense of humor? Wouldn’t it be great if the first visitors to this planet acted like George Carlin and Marty Feldman and Gene Wilder? We shouldn’t be sending soldiers into space. We should be sending comedians. (update: The only thing that makes sense about the film Armageddon is Steve Buscemi being in it. And Liv Tyler, of course. Liv Tyler anywhere always makes sense.)

Crawls, banners, squeezes, overlays, overdubs, pop-ups, PIPs, and transitions should be banished on pain of death.

Belief is an overly exaggerated sense of hope.

If you are going to make enemies of powerful, vicious people, make sure you can be more powerful and vicious than they are.

War is the booby-prize for bad politics.

The purpose of clothing is not to protect you from the environment, but to protect your furniture from you. It is difficult to throw a couch into the washer.

Inside each of us, at our very core, is a curious infant who dislikes nothing more than the law.

God speaks to us all the time. In the song of birds, the whisper of the wind, the rush of water. Burning bushes and voices in whirlwinds, these are parlor tricks for simpletons. I have heard the voice of God, and it says, “I am not here. This was not said.”

I’d rather have ten happy seconds than a hundred years of misery. One usually says such things when one is experiencing the latter.

When we finally realize there is no god, then we can play.

We are moving rocks.

Once you cease being afraid of death, the whole world opens up to you.

Contradictions are a bipolar disorder. Become a monopole. Keep moving forward.

Did you know if you drive backward through a toll booth they have to pay you?

There are no athiests in fox holes? Then, to end war, all we need do is eliminate religion.

Love is being comfortable with someone. Hate is someone else being comfortable with you.

If you can think yourself sick when you are healthy, then you can also think yourself healthy when you are sick. Be wary of either of these. Remain centered in reality.

There is no meaning to life. It is all random. All that matters is how you feel. Beyond survival is happiness, and sorrow. And that is all it means.

Nostalgia never goes out of style.

I thought, it would be great to have a robotic girlfriend, a synthetic like Call from Alien Resurrection. Humans are illogical and distracted. Then, I realized, being human, I would not be good enough for her.

The brain is a remarkable device. I wonder why it betrays itself so often.

Our freedom is soaked in blood. That’s not freedom. That’s shame.

Hitler wasn’t an enemy because he killed millions of Jews. He was an enemy because he was anti-corporate. It was the corporations that defeated Hitler, because he was a threat to their power. They were more than happy to serve him, until he declared war on them.

It’s all make believe.

I don’t like high pressure situations. I like to be relaxed. Some might reply to that, “No pain, no gain.” Well, the guy who said that likes to molest women, and his dad was a Nazi.

How about making houses out of stuff that doesn’t burn? How difficult would that be, really?

People who say “Easy peasy rice and cheesey” need to be punched. Michael Yagoobian has the excuse of being a cartoon character who led a despondent and miserable life. But, if a millionaire like Jeremy Clarkson says it one more time, I’m going to drop a cinder block on his head.

“Gunga Din” is away better than “Star Wars” and always will be.

Calling someone’s particular mind a “disorder” implies that everyone else is “ordered” and “sane.” I have never met anyone who is completely sane. Everyone is a disorder of one sort or another, to some degree or another. True sanity has yet to be invented.

There was no revolution. They are still in charge. Wal-mart will become everything. The middle class will disappear. There will be only Morloks and Eloi. No one stopped anything. This is our evolution.

Nothing shown on television is “the true story of” anything. At best, it could be mistaken or incomplete, the product of normal human misunderstanding. At worst, it is an outright lie to manipulate your understanding to the benefit of those who control television and everything that depends on it, and upon which it depends. Who controls television? The government that is owned by corporations that have everything to lose if you learn the truth.

I realized a long time ago that life is whatever is in front of your nose, and what is always in front of your nose is the universe.

The world is a malevolent place. From the moment you are born, everything else in the world is plotting to kill you and eat you. Everything that is “nice” is a delusion that humans invent to keep themselves from going stark raving mad from terror.

What is the point of surviving if you’re not doing what you want to do?

Life isn’t worth living, that’s the thing. For every ounce of pleasure, you have to claw your way through a pound of agony. The world is a mouth full of teeth and it intends to eat you. Life has fed on life since the beginning of organized molecules on this planet, and none of it bothers to ask why, only What’s for supper? Beyond self preservation, there is no Purpose. Your purpose is whatever you choose. If you think it all means something, you’re deluding yourself, said delusion and resulting contradiction possibly being the source of all the agony. Accept the meaninglessness of it all and move beyond it. Meaning comes from feelings. The universe has no feelings. It cannot feel happy or sad, and it doesn’t care two whits for you. The universe does not have a Big Consciousness out there watching you. That is another delusion. Your meaning comes from your feelings. If we did not have feelings, “meaning” and the search for it would not even have occurred to us. Your feelings tell you what you want. Your intellect tells you how to get it. Your body is your means of getting it. It’s. That. Simple.

How can one conceive of reality, when we all perceive only a limited part of it, and comprehend even less?

To be misquoted by idiots is not a dishonor.

People who believe in some sort of god are yearning to be ruled over by a king. There is no place for such people in a civilized society.

Complaining about how other people lead their lives is a sure way of announcing how much you are in doubt of how you lead your own.

Copyright should last for the life of the creator plus the time it takes for all the creator’s children to reach legal adulthood, and not a second longer. No more free rides.

No complaints. I just want to thank you for making recent episodes available on your site. I haven’t had time to follow much in the way of entertainment, lately, so I’ve missed season premieres. There are only four stations I watch with any regularity, and they have what I consider to be the best shows of the past few years: SyFy, Fox, TCM, and BBC America. A lot of people have derogatory things to say about Fox, but all I can say is, if you don’t like something, don’t watch it. If you make fun of a show, you’re really making fun of all the people who watch it. I think there’s entirely too much time wasted making fun of people. That Fox goes through the effort of bringing to the public, groundbreaking shows like Fringe and Dollhouse, really meaningful and thought provoking shows, indicates that there are better brains at Fox and that you all are doing your job. It doesn’t happen very often, but sometimes we are graced by presentations that show the true potential of television to entertain, to engage, to enlighten. I thank you, people of Fox, and those other stations, for helping in no small way to redeem television for some of the bad rap it has gotten and, unfortunately, deserved. Please keep up the good work. We need more better television product. A little bit at a time, this powerful window in our homes can be used to inch us toward a better society, someday. Thank you. {An open letter to Fox broadcasting.}

9/24.09 I dreamed Gregory Peck was telling stories about Hollywood while showing mementos. He pulled something large across the floor from behind me to the right, like a great black bottle or cannon that had that old kind of dull shiny finish to it like on old things from a museum ship, while some song was playing from the soundtrack of Moby Dick, and the men in the song, Peck’s voice among them, sang some very low and others sounding as if they were singing through glass tubes to get even lower. I was sitting in the chair I have now, a cushioned chair with wide wooden arms that were like tables. Peck was dressed in some old 18th century seafaring garb like officers uniform from Horatio Hornblower but the collar was open like he was just off the set, but he had a beard sort of like Ahab in Moby Dick but he was younger. He gave me pencils and knives from the movie, or about the movie, promotional items with stuff printed on them that I couldn’t read, one being a slide knife but that was broken short, with a peculiar angle to the handle. He told about Mickey Rooney and how he had gone to see Rooney in some stage play and asked for something promising Rooney he could get him in to see Abe Vigoda and Estelle Parsons in another play, only something didn’t work out and it was missed, but he made good on another performance. All the while I was trying to wear Mickey Rooney’s short olive green stocking cap/beanie as a sock on my right foot. There was another part that had to do with something in a small town where some digging underground was happening, and there was a cat that was in on the digging but that something went wrong and it was stuck underground but also underwater, cold murky water, with lights but only so it could be seen like imagined, as in a glass ant farm, and I could see that it had very smartly sort of built an upside down house under the underground water and it survived there in an air bubble in the cold dark with things that were maybe down there or after it or lived like that but I didn’t see if the cat was ever rescued. During the Peck part of the dream I thought that the rare song that was playing would go like gangbusters on the internet, and Peck said that some of the elastic bands would fetch a good price being rare. He was in good spirits. I think the dream was about my parents.

People ARE cattle. That doesn’t make me feel superior. It just makes me feel sad.

Civilization, [sî vî l? z? sh?n], n., a bunch of people who have agreed not to murder each other.

Did it ever occur to you that each and every religion that preaches submission to authority, which is, basically, each and every religion, was invented by some authority that wants you to submit…to them?

Where boys are raised to sow the seed and pass the test, girls may never hope for more than fecund best.

Hey, everybody’s gotta grow thicker skins, okay? If you don’t like something, just say you don’t like it and let it go at that. You aren’t the universal authority of anything, just of your own opinion, just like everyone else. And if somebody disses something you like, so what? Who the hell are they? You like what you like. What do you care what some stranger thinks? Art is about creating levels that we can all live on and appreciate, whether it’s Metal or Beethoven. Just let it expand your own horizon and to hell with anyone else who wants to stay small. You don’t appreciate it? Walk away. They don’t appreciate it? Walk away. Just walk away. Nobody’s holding a gun to your head.

I am a conduit of mass and energy. I am a catalyst for change.

The only difference between humans and mold is complexity.

I do not like the world.

Sanity is the very worst kind of madness.

When one is faced with death, material possessions suddenly reveal their ultimate irrelevance. Unless one of them is a force field generator. That might become suddenly very relevant.

Carbon trading: paying poor countries to stay poor. Please, tell me where that starts to make sense.

People who play games don’t read books. People who play games don’t think.

I blame the newspapers and television news for the glorification of violence. If I were to go to the seedy part of town and pick out some homeless people, and give them new coats and shoes and what not, and buy them a few meals and maybe find some odd jobs for them to do so they earn a little money and self respect, nobody would even notice. But, if I were to go to the seedy part of town with a big knife and start carving up homeless people, that would be front page news. So, I blame you, news people. You. You’re the cause of it. And don’t say you’re giving people what they want. You’re giving people what you want to give them. Nobody is holding a gun to your heads and making you print anything. Yes, I’m pointing my finger at you. And the game makers are no different. When was the last time you saw a video game that had the goal of helping people lead better lives? What? The Triassic maybe? How many games involve piercing skulls with bullets? Oh, maybe…all of them? You are to blame, too, game makers.

I am a tribute to the wasted life.

The bitch about being truly noble is that no one ever knows about it.

Truth has a way of digging itself out from under a mountain of lies. Lies can only kill. Truth is the only sustenance that preserves life. Live by lies and die. Live by truth and live. The liars will die out, always, leaving the true and honorable to sculpt the future.

Civilization is what we do with our hands to keep from thinking about our inevitable death.

The human race will eventually evolve into something that won’t even recognize us as their ancestors.

People who think they have the answer don’t notice that pretentiousness comes before all. Like this.

The government is just another syndicate.

Individuals matter only with regard to the specie’s response to external stimuli affecting the continuation of the the specie. What your life means to you is part of the formula but it is not a condition of the process.

The only thing government can do to promote equality is to make everyone equally miserable.

We are the only animals that spin fairy tales.

This is all random. You must understand that. I can’t stress this enough.

After listening to a portion of a Creationist propagandistic play on a short wave station, I realize more than ever that there are insane people out there, and they will always be insane, and they are at large, and I am afraid.

Is the next level of evolution the internet?

The only time I am really happy is when I am listening to music.

The best you can hope for in life is to be late for your own funeral.

If people love peace so much, why do they keep breaking it?

As long as people fear what is different, there will be hatred, slavery, and murder.

Sex is the icing on the cake that is mainly made up of laundry and PTA meetings.

The speed of light is a constant, but space is variable. Space is polygeneous.

There is something wrong with a nation that allows a dictator to overpower it.

True cowards are the idiots who give up thinking in favor of war. It does not take courage to obey orders from violent men. It takes courage to refuse to obey them in the face of their cowardly violence.

Nationalism, tribalism, is the antithesis of truth. For truth to reign, nations must be dissolved.

People aren’t worth as much as you think they are.

All religion is idiotic. Face it. Not just some. All. It’s delusional. Yes, I’ll say it right here. Anyone who subscribes to a religion is a nut case.

When I am writing, it is not an ineluctible joy or spasmotic dream, not orgasmic in the least. When I am writing, I am not being anything that I am not, and that is where I need to be and what I need to be. When I am writing, I am perfect.

Anyone who has to kill to protect their way of life is showing the valuelessness of their way and cowardice of their soul. All soldiers are cowards. All leaders are philosophically bankrupt. Disobey if you want to live.

Every country that has US troops stationed within their borders should send an equivalent number of their own troops to be stationed within the United States. You can imagine how far that would go.

It’s interesting that the three most famous airplanes in history are the Wright Flyer, the Spirit of St. Louis, and the Enola Gay. The Hindenburg would make a fourth for bridge, even though it isn’t an airplane.

Boobquake is the way the world should be. Truth for the fun of it.

If you spend your tomorrows, where are you going to live when you get there?

When Mount St. Helens exploded, no one went around calling God a terrorist.

All art is fatuous, unless you know there will be no audience.

The future is never like anyone imagines. Isn’t that fun?

Nobody’s trying to beat you down. Nobody cares. In the end, nobody cares.

Honestly, I don’t know how most people make it through life without drugs.

Energy without reason dissipates.

I’ve never met anyone so dead set on being miserable as myself.

I take that back. I’ve met lots. I have never been able to fool myself into accepting fantasy as reality. I have never been able to lie to myself completely about the nature of myself nor of anything else. That is, at the heart of it, why I am so miserable sometimes.

Any meaning there is in life is just make believe.

I like to smoke. It is my way of thumbing my nose at God and daring him to kill me. It is the closest thing to prayer for me. Tobacco is my host, and flame my benediction.

Everything I do is a role. Every act I have ever committed in public has been calculated to portray me as something others would recognize in someone else. I have never been myself in front of others. It has all been an act. Only when I am alone, am I truly myself. And when I am alone, I don’t know who I am.

You are as important to the universe as that atom in the tip of your nose is important to you.

Love is highly overrated. It taxes the mind and upsets the digestion.

The only one who can make you feel bad or good is you.

Happiness just means you have something you are going to lose. Don’t go on about memories. They’re just a film emulsion over a pastiche of regret. An undying reminder of what you’ve already lost.

The man who cuts his own flesh has no enemy but himself.

In a world full of people like me, there would be no war. I imagine everyone has thought something like that at one time or another.

Everyone is what they are as long as they need to be.

I am a boring little nothing living on a subatomic mudball in the middle of vast emptiness and the only reason I go into that boring little job every day is because I don’t have anything better to do. There. That is a life summed up in one sentence.

About Wikileaks: people don’t want to know the truth, that nations are built on lies and murder.

Ritz crackers are much better than the cheap knock offs. But, disturbingly, almost as oily.

My cat is very catholic. He always eats fish on Friday.

Those with the most to say have the least to say.

Just remember, whatever you put on the internet will stay there until the Sun explodes.

The universe is no more than a postage stamp floating in the ocean. How big are you?

Guns are nice, but knives are fine.

Sex, drugs, and rock’n’roll may not be the perfect answer, but they’re better than war.

Muslims worship a meteorite. Christians worship an act of torture, the eating of flesh and the drinking of blood. Jews worship themselves. Buddhists worship everything. Hindus worship an entire comic book empire of superheroes. Shintoists worship the dead. Pagans worship everything in nature as if it were intelligent. No wonder the aliens have not landed in the open.

We exist temporarily to take care of our things.

It seems strange and yet fitting that the legacy of The Fonz is the phrase “jump the shark.”

Nobody in America makes good, solid brass flush valves any more. It’s all cheap plastic Chinese crap that wears out after a few years. This is the age of disposable shit. It’s all so that the incompetent can beat the competent. We all suffer for it in the end. It’s economic cancer. Sure, you’re still alive, but you’re dying slowly and it’s just a matter of time before the first vital organ gives out completely. Then, good-bye world economy, hello new 10,000-year dark age. We’re fucked.

The end of the beginning is the beginning of the end.

Depression is the only illness that prevents its victim from wanting treatment.

Happiness has a terrible price. Only sorrow comes for free.

Can you imagine Sean Penn or Leonardo diCaprio or Keanu Reaves or Brad Pitt playing Captain Jack Sparrow? No. Not even Harrison Ford when he was young.

“Bolt” is visually stunning precisely because it is not visually stunning. It is preeminently and startlingly mundane. Any scene in any location from any angle looks exactly like any place you have ever stood and looked upon any time in your life. That, in “Bolt,” none of what you see exists at all, is strictly and purely amazing.

Stieg Larson smoked three packs a day, never exercised, ate crappy food, and died of a heart attack after being wound up for days and climbing a set of stairs when the elevator was out. He never lived to enjoy being the best selling author of all time. I do not know why I am alive and sometimes I wish I weren’t, but, frankly, above all else, I want to keep living for as long as I can. I don’t know what’s coming next, I never did, but that is probably the spice of life. And life is only worthwhile while it’s happening. Like the man says, you’re dead for a very, very long time. There’s no sense in hurrying it up.

Everything the government tells us is lies, innuendo, and half truth. We don’t even know for sure if there are any conspiracies, and that’s exactly where they want us.

All of today’s politicians are Fascists. It doesn’t matter what they call themselves. Each one bears the brand name trademark of some corporation or another. When the government and the corporations are indistiguishable, that’s Fascism.

The United States of America was founded on smuggling, slavery, and genocide. Do you think all that just went away?

The President is always somebody’s man. Why do you think Eisenhower looked like a hostage in his farewell speech when he warned us against the military-industrial complex? Maybe they’d gotten to him, but not all the way. He still had integrity. Our last decent President. They all have their good points. Carter. Even Nixon. Well, maybe not 43. But in the end, they are all somebody’s man. But not ours.

Sometimes I wish Windows was a living thing. So I could hurt it. So I could make it scream.

Everything that happens on this Earth is engineered by some powerful nation or corporation. From Desert Shield and Storm to the uprising in Egypt, somebody designed it to happen to their advantage. It’s the game of thrones.

Society doesn’t care if you destroy yourself. But if you try to destroy others they jump all over your shit.

Life is a mistake. The sooner it ends, the better.

I have a new toy. A “circuit bent” Conair soothing sound machine, modified by Dave Barnes, serial number 129. It is a silver teardrop with a big black volume knob on top, half surrounded by little black buttons. One button powers it on and off, and the rest cause the device to emit sounds like waterfall, thunderstorm, white noise, and bird song. Added by Barnes is an RCA audio output, two metal studs for finger touching to frenetically alter sound, and a knob comprising of a swirly multicolored rubber ball, the kind often gotten from a gumball machine. Turning that knob lowers the frequency of whichever sound is playing. It is soothing and exciting at the same time. I can listen to the plain original noises, or squelch or squeek them into strange alien mutterings. I have it right next to my computer. I can’t help but reach out to it now and then. It attracts my hand like a magnet. It is the simplest synthesizer I own, and yet I keep using it to make simple weird noises. Often the simplest things are the most important. Take the door, for instance. It is the simplest thing in the world. A rectangle fashioned of whatever material suits the wall. Just a rectangular hole, and yet it represents total change. One step through any door changes anything, everything. The simplest thing in the world is the cause of the greatest of changes. Everything is just a complicated form of a door. We are always creating doors, and stepping through to find what is on the other side. We welcome the change that we force upon ourselves. Everything is a door. We are a race of door makers.

You know, even the so-called enemy of the corporate state Apple is ultimately just a lying, hypocritical engine of the corporate state. They saw great competition from the premiere computer audio production software house EMagic, producers of Logic and SoundDiver. Logic is object oriented production, while SoundDiver is a program that allows customized and complete computer control and assistance of any hardware musical device that can connect with a computer (I suspect MIDI only, but it may be able to communicate with CV/Gate analog machines–it is complicated and amazing.) But, due to extending their anticipation and resources a little too far, EMagic ended up in financial difficulty. Not terminal, but painfully profitless for the foreseeable future. In stepped Apple like a generous uncle, offering to buy EMagic as a company and make them a subsidiary. I don’t know if it was trust or desperation, but EMagic accepted. It was not long before Apple absorbed Logic as its own, incorporated bits of SoundDiver into other programs, and then simply and thoroughly buried EMagic. It ceased to exist as a PC software entity. I myself witnessed Apple’s desperate disposal myself. I found I was able to enter Apple’s FTP access area, and download what little remained of EMagic’s last programs and files for both Mac and PC. A day later I went back to check if I had gotten everything, and that FTP area for EMagic had been deleted. Apple had probably seen the record of me accessing it, and they promptly and cowardly deleted it, the last trace of EMagic that was to be found anywhere. Now, if one wants something resembling the power and majesty of Logic and SoundDiver, one must become a Mac user. That was Apple’s intent all along. No friendly assistance for Windows and Linux users. A total corporate lock out in the name of monopoly. Apple cemented its private hegemony as firmly as any industrial age robber barron. Thus, I only buy used Apple equipment and software when I can and when I need it, insuring that I get the utility, and not one penny goes into Apple’s coffers. It’s all I can do. For now. Until the revolution. And the all the corporate headquarters are left ragged as the World Trade Center. Oh yes, that was only the beginning. Domino One. The rest will follow. Just wait.

To turn off memories to suit the needs for comfort of the moment, is to live without a conscience, which is to become everything that is not human.

Human, (l. Homo sapiens), a species whose most deliberate aspiration is to have no predator but itself.

I couldn’t have my own starship so I settled on computers and synthesizers.

One time a pile of years ago, I found a windscorpion on the bathroom basin. It was only 2 millimeters long, shaped more like a crab than a scorpion, and having no tail, but fully functional pincers that seemed almost too tiny to work. I imagine had I a microscope at the time, its face would have looked just like that of a crab, or perhaps a scorpion’s with the even tinier fixed jowel pincers on either side. I carefully got it onto a piece of paper and brought it to my father, and we had a jolly old time looking at it through his linen tester (a magnifying glass with a foldable frame.) Every time I feel like I’m bored, I remember that time, and how in each second of the day, new things are presented to me that I never knew about before. Remembering that moment helps me realize that giving in to boredom is probably the worst crime one can commit against oneself. The universe is just too fascinating to waste time being bored. Afterward, of course, I returned the little fellow back to where I found him, so he could continue his exploration and return home safely. Respect life. In this cold universe it is rarer than gold.

The NAZI death camps happened just twenty years before the peace and love generation. Did they really think it would work?

I like C. I don’t like C++. “See Plus Plus.” Clumsy. “See Inc” is what it is, if you know what I mean. I can’t wrap my head around it. I mean, I can understand concepts like encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism. I just don’t get the need for them in basic programming structure. Any C programmer worth her salt can write a program properly and elegantly. C++ is for lazy programmers who cut too many corners. It not only distances the eventual end user, but it distances the programmer from the core. C++ doesn’t allow bit fiddling? Nonsense. C is founded on bit fiddling. To take that away is to rap the programmer on the nose with a rolled up newspaper and say “Bad dog! Program under our control and not yours!” That I don’t like. Give me C or give me death. If I wanted to feel safe all the time I’d use BASIC. Which I do from time to time. BASIC compilers are cool. But C++? Too much control lost to the paradigm. Sorry. No.

Do you know why beavers chew down trees? Aluminum. Yep. This is something I read about years ago, but I just this minute decided to write down what I remember about it because it’s a strange tale and fits in to this bullshit. Wood is impregnated with the mineral alumina, which is a crystaline oxide of aluminum. Beavers can smell alumina. It smells sweet to them. It’s probably sweeter to them than even the tree sap which is full of sugars. So, mutation eventually resulted in a creature with a paddle tail that can swim swiftly and is drawn to chew down trees which are ideal for building houses in the water. It’s also why there are very few of some old airplanes found, like old crashed bombers and fighters and such. After it was decided that aluminum would make better skin material for high speed airplanes than doped fabric, a lot of aluminum airplanes were left as smoking wrecks across every continent. And, as it would just happen to be, nearly every continent, or maybe all of them, have their own species of beaver. And beavers are maniacally drawn to anything that smells sweet like alumina, like aluminum airplanes. I think I recall the main reason that no original P-61 Black Widows becuase they’d been eaten by Asian and Micronesian beavers.

There has been a silent but obvious and equally deadly revolution occurring in this country for the past one hundred twenty years or so, and that revolution was by the corporation, of the corporation, and for the corporation, and now the corporations own all the politicians and run this country, and, through our military, diplomatic, and economic might, have coerced control over the rest of the world. Any new revolution by the people would, in fact, be a reaction. In order to become revolutionaries, we the people must become reactionary.

Religious fervor inevitably evolves into money making. After the goal of spiritual quest is accomplished, there is little else but to make money out of this circus.

Fleece is like a hug that lasts all day.

Married life is the art of learning what to ignore.

We are what we do not want to be.

To live in freedom is to be not afraid to die, or to live.

I polished the faceplate of my clock radio, and now I can hardly hear local stations but I can hear some Twin Cities radio station quite clearly. DXing Minneapolis/St. Paul Jazz radio. I’m in the Hudson Valley. I’ve seen weirder.

One fly can be killed easily with a flyswatter. Ten thousand flies can easily kill you, flyswatter not withstanding. This is the meaning of futility and victory in war.

Being able to play music will get you laid. Never forget that. The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, but the way to a woman’s is through her ears.

Being alive doesn’t make up for having to die. I don’t care what anybody says. It’s too high a price.

It is disappointing that the best evolution could come up with to combat suicide is religion.

When riding an elevator, it is imperative never to think about what is under the floor.

The more I listen to the news, the more I am convinced that people are well worth staying away from.

A clean house is like a clean mind: ultimately boring.

Adventure is where it takes you.

I’ve just tried watching The Magnificent Ambersons. What a bunch of boring assholes.

But then, the next day, I watched Groundhog Day, and that made up for it.

Living alone in your own house, owned or rented, means you can crank Steve Vai at midnight. I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Chicken and corn chowder, flavored with bacon. Can there be anything finer in existence? No. This is the pinnacle. The peak of my existence. Now, right now. It doesn’t get better than this. This soup is like a creamy hot orgasm injected straight into the middle of the brain. I am happy right now. Truly and irrevocably happy. None of the things that happen in the world that generate feelings of unhappiness are able to touch me right now. I can even think of them and I am unaffected even acknowledging them. It’s not the soup but that’s a catalyst. I am happy, and it’s not going to go away. I think this is what they call satori. Wow. And on line 1000, too. Wow.

I’ve just realized what makes an American an American. Every American feels they’ve been born too soon. Europeans all feel like little bits in their monumental history. Asians are part of the big picture, society as a whole. Africans are all members of their family, ubuntu. South Americans are part of the ecology, the world at large, the big living thing. Australians–the Abos–are a part of the dream. But, we Americans, the U. S. Americans, the We-uns, the Us. We always feel as if we’ve been born too soon. The future is where we belong, and that’s what we spend all our blood, sweat, toil, and tears to reach.

Happy movies make me sad. But, that’s all right.

There’s no place to call when life feels absolutely meaningless, and you don’t feel like killing yourself.

That we achieved consciousness at all is probably the mistake. It was unnecessary, but, then, so are most mutations, and this gave us a singular advantage: the ability to understand the patterns around us, and integrate them into our own ability to manipulate them. An accident of nature made us into nature itself, and here we are, rebuilding the universe in our own image.

I’m just watching “Jeanne Dielman…” on Turner Classic Movies, and I cannot for the life of me fathom why the Germans did not surrender to the French in the face of overwhelming tedium.

We have to get rid of religions and corporations.

History will recount the endless series of Viet Nam-istic conflicts that resulted in the collapse of the United States of America. All empires end thus.

The foundation of every religion is nothing but a great leap backward. We must kill god once and for all.

A world forever shrouded in night, where the rich live and the poor try not to die. Is the future of our civilization, the city of Bladerunner?

It’s all about satisfying the public. Not because there is anything noble in the gesture, but that it is necessary for survival. For the rich, who are the starters of the production of things. After the rich get their Cadillacs, they gotta start making Chevys to sell to the proles, so that they feel their sense of entitlement and I-got-mine, and don’t go all 1789y on the rich. Beating guillotine blades into crowd share, so to speak. This is why Capitalism succeeds while other political systems fail. Capitalism provides everyone with at least some of the necessities that our ancestors have been squabbling over since Day One, while the other political systems work hard to provide an even distribution of piety, guilt, or self-justification which does not equate to bread on the table. A fat belly makes for a poor revolutionary, as the man said, and boy does Capitalism make ’em fat.

If you can’t laugh at it, it’s over-rated.

What little happiness there is in life is buried under an avalanche of inevitable misery. That’s just the way it is.

I am not happy and I do not know why.

I just came up with an idea for an entire story whole and proper, and the beginning of another one. No matter how I neglect it, I cannot get rid of this writer inside me.

Esquimeaux used ice bergs. White people don’t have the stomach for that (except in far off third world countries when news cameras are not around) so they invented Life Alert. Wouldn’t it be great if everyone in the third world countries wore a Life Alert that would summon CNN helicopters before the bullets start flying?

There is no forgiveness. There is no redemption. There is only death and rot.

Wherever man goes, he creates deserts. The world is not safe.

AutoTune makes human beings sound like constipated robots.

We don’t honor people any more by naming places after them. People don’t matter any more. Everything is being named after a corporation that bought and paid for it, so the corporation can use it as advertising. It’s true; people don’t matter in the eyes of a corporation.

Who the hell would want a cock twelve inches long? That’s ridiculous.

It isn’t just good to be different. It’s vital.

I was just looking at a new software program I installed. In particular, at the red sculptured dot of its close icon. An overwhelming sense of nostalgia and loss came over me. Back, years ago, when things were fresh and every new thing spoke of infinite possibility and promise. Things were wonderful at one time. When did it get so sad?

“What? You mean Wales is separate? It’s like the British equivalent of New Jersey.” From Torchwood: Miracle Day. Funniest thing I’ve heard in a long time.

I ran away from love to nothing. At least, nothing doesn’t disappoint. Nothing is just what it is.

It’s a shame the 21st Century was made into the century of Islamic terrorism. That’s all it will be remembered for.

Tokyo looks a lot like Brooklyn.

To be afraid of death is to be afraid of life. Why has it taken me this long to realize that?

The Boondocks was cancelled because it told the truth in a country run by lying scumbags.

I spent a restless night, waking at least three times. In the fourth bout of sleep, I dreamed I was in Rapture, in the shopping district. I remembered it, I was there, with every detail in place. I heard the hum-clack of the security camera and was afraid. I saw a woman approach and I ducked behind the pilings, but realized she was normal looking, unaffecting by splicing. I was in Rapture before the fall. The Rapture of the living and the lively. For a moment, I was happy.

I cannot serve myself. The way I was treated as a child, spoiled and degraded… I was taught that I am worthless. I learned to be alone. I can try to do anything for anyone else, but I cannot do anything for myself, aside from meaningless amusement. If someone asks something of me, I will jump through hoops. I need the approval of others, as I was taught. But, my own needs, I have ignored forever. I cannot do what I want for myself, and have for so long, I no longer even know what I want. Aside from trying to please others, worrying myself to ulcers when I fear I cannot, I only sit and watch teevee, work at a job I would much rather not, shop for groceries, and buy outrageous amounts of stuff from eBay. Credit card companies have graced me with over $20,000.00 in plastic liquidity. And yet, they are right to trust me. Unlike that previous period of my life so long ago, I will repay this in full. My job pays me more than enough, and I have lots of time on my hands. But, still, it is only passing amusement. No dreams, no plans, no goals. Just to get through the day or the week. And a day does not go by when I do not think of suicide. But, that’s been my way since I was a kid. Can anyone possibly explain this life to me?

Just watching Carrie Fischer’s “Wishful Drinking” show. She is the only person on the planet in history who is both a PEZ dispenser and featured in the Abnormal Psychology Handbook. A photograph of Leia heads the article on biplor disorder. To be that unique is beyond admirable.

Ducking Fyslexia. Sorry. I had to write that down.

Ideally, we do things in order to be happy. In reality, most of the time, we do things to keep from being sad. That’s pretty pathetic. But, that’s all there is.

Life is complexity. Any system of mass and energy that works to maintain itself and even to extend its complexity, is alive. That is all life is, and all that life needs to be.

Remember when I said that life is a mouth full of teeth and we are food? I think I said that, somewhere up there. Well, a consequent of that is: The universe is going to kill us, and the only way we [humans] keep from going insane is to be insane. As I said to my doctor (just before she prescribed antidepressants for me), happiness is a result of coming up with the right delusion. If you can trick yourself enough into thinking that being alive is “nice” then you can avoid killing yourself. Until something else kills you, at least. So, now I am on Cymbalta. Me and the cartoon woman in the advertisements with the cute Muppet-eyed dark blob trying to lovingly swallow her into the ground. What an interesting life, eh?

My life could never be as full as my mind imagines. I’m not as talented as I hope I am and I bore too easily with everything else. I guess I’m just my own biggest disappointment.

I’m lying my way through life. I’m a hyperintelligent 9 year old who never grew up, and I get from one situation to the next by lying as convincingly as I can. After a lifetime of that, who wouldn’t feel like killing himself?

Cranium ex Anum.

I have a Neuron and a FIZMO, as well as a Technics SX-WSA1, a Kawai K5000W (waiting for a new main board, although it would be cheaper to get another K5000W and keep the original for parts,) and just about every other synth that produces sound in unusual or misunderstood ways. I like weird and fascinating things, particularly if they are scoffed at by others. That sort of rejected underdog attitude rings a bell with me. Dem’s mah peeps, as the youth culture says today. I like experimenting with sound, and the weirder and harder to understand the machine, the better I like it. For instance, I am thinking (still just in the thinking stage) of a synthesizer built using SynthEdit, and based on fractal mathematics. What kind of sounds exist inbetween the integer dimensions 1, 2, 3 &c.? What is the sound of 2.347 dimension? Or an imaginary sound? (As in imaginary numbers, based on the square root of -1.) Would that be sound traveling backwards in time? Effect before cause? I’d love to find out. (Originally part of a post to the Yahoo! FIZMO group, in reply to the question of how many Hartmann Neurons had been sold [about 200,] but I realized was showing off again, so I cut it and saved it here.)

SY99 prices are a bit ridiculous at times. There is a fellow in California who has been posting his SY99 on eBay for quite some time, and wants $2500 for it. Cheeky sod. I got my SY85 for about $180 with shipping. The floppy drive doesn’t work, but I read the Yamaha forum thread about building a 34-to-24 pin adapter, and it isn’t at all difficult to replace the drive with a new one, or even one of those USB socket adapters, for access to hundreds of virtual floppy disks at once. I got two TG77s for $250. Not each. $250 for two TG77s. I use a Quasimidi Cyber6 control keyboard, and when those Motivators get hold of the TG77s which are discreetly microtuned, the sound can rattle the walls. Throw in a MicroQ, a Pulse, a Microwave XT, a RackAttack, a Polyevolver, an Ultraproteus, a Proteus 2000, and a Trident rack full of MOSS and KARMA and there is a sound that shakes the gods out of bed in the morning. When I feel like calming down, I’ll noodle around on the M50 (also KARMAlized) or MicroX, or spend an evening with the Neuron and the FIZMO. The MS2000 is great for days when I want to just go nuts tweaking, and the SX-WSA1 is perfect for when I am feeling contemplative and philosophical. The Virus C and Nova help when I feel as if she blinded me with science. Who’s “she”? My muse, of course. And I haven’t even gotten into the OASYS-PCI, yet. Ahh, life is good. Damn good.

“The way I read it, the albatross was a good luck charm ’til some fool killed it. Yes, I have read a poem. Try not to faint.” –Capt. Malcomb Reynolds, Firefly Serenity

A horse. Horse. Why is it called a horse? Why? Who looked at it and said “horse”? Who? Why? Why would anyone look at that animal and call it a horse? It makes no sense. The sound has nothing to do with it. I just don’t understand. Horse. Nope. Just can’t make the connection.

Spiders love coffee.

What are kings, but rapists who have turned it into the family business?

Murderers are just animals who have fallen outside the human ken. Crime is a disease of society.

“Serenity” is pure Science Fiction at its abso-fucking-lute best. There is no better. It is the pinnacle.

Lots of Esquimeaux buy refrigerators. They keep them out on the porch to keep their food from freezing solid. A heat pump works in both directions. The old joke is just that, nothing but an old joke.

If only the universe knew how much it amazed us. Maybe why that’s why we invented god. So we could imagine that something in the universe was grateful for for all the joy we wanted to express. Without god, the universe pretty much doesn’t care what we think. That leaves us tiny creatures feeling rather lonely. If there’s a god, you’re never really alone. There’s always someone happy that you are here. God is everything we’ve ever wanted to fill in the empty spaces. Maybe dark matter will turn out to be god.

I know what I have to do. I don’t know why I have to do it.

Just wondering about jumping through a window. Like they do in movie scenes. If you’re sliding off the edge of a roof but catch the gutter with your fingertips, and there’s no way to pull yourself up, but you can push off and swing into a window, shattering it and landing in a room. How do you do it without dying? If you smash through a glass window without wearing chain mail, it will slice you to ribbons and you will bleed to death in minutes. Glass is the most dangerous substance on Earth. Next is wood. Next is water. For something to be dangerous, it has to be available. Plutonium is the most poisonous substance on Earth. Where do you see plutonium every day? Only in places where you can’t get at it. Glass, wood, and water are everywhere, in every building and vehicle in the world. Glass is, anyway. And how many people die from cuts, burns, and drowning? A whole lot. They’re dangerous.

Every civilization on Earth has invented the spoon. Think about that.

Matter and energy can be created and destroyed. This will be proven and demonstrated. It’s just that the “experts” refuse to accept this, for now.

“How To Survive A Lifetime Of Pain And Never Find Happiness” That wouldn’t sell too many copies, I think. Except to the morbidly curious. And Goths. Christ.

Don’t try to be wise. At some point you will/may realize the truth about everything, and expect to achieve satori. It will not come when you are looking for it. Only when you forget that it is what you are waiting for, that it will arrive, almost like a giggle in the wind of a cold crisp biting exhilarating white crystalline sparkling hissing whispering tickling tingling winter morning in the white shrouded ever forest search path of your mind. Wisdom only arrives when you wander away from looking for it. Don’t forget that it is what you want. Just let your mind wander away, which is the true seed of wisdom anyway. Then, it will find you. And you will be in love.

Were I a published writer, I would rather see my books burned in a NAZI bonfire than digitized by Google without so much as a by-your-leave.

I feel sorry for the rat that had to eat Arnold Schwartzenegger’s boogers. No wonder he just stood there and let himself be shot. It was suicide by henchman.

I will accept whatever comes. Mantra. Brings immediate sense of peace and happiness. It makes me feel untethered.

Ultimate truth is realizing that you do not need to search for ultimate truth. It is already within you.

The Bible is not a book about God and religion. It is a psychological case study of the human race. Genesis is a treatise on the effects of puberty on the human mind. Take it from there.

Whatever you try to destroy, will try to destroy you. Whatever you try to create, will try to create you.

Still, there is neither creation nor destruction, but only change. Or, maybe there is. It’s just words.

Wanting is better than having. You can want all you want. But, having is realizing the extent of your own inadequacies.

It’s Paul Revere’s 277th birthday. If Paul Revere were alive today, it would be damned peculiar.

This is a note I left for Mike Mignola, creator of Hellboy, on his web site: I just wanted to thank you for creating and making the body of work that is Hellboy. Among all of comicdom’s antiheroes, Red is the most human. For me, he inspires a sense of goodness in the world, that goes beyond destined character. He’s just a cool guy that I’d like to hang with. How many superheroes invite that kind of kinship? Not many, and I’m thinking of the big ones as I write this. Thank you, Mr. Mignola. You done good.

All artists are insane. Writers, daydreaming for a living; dancers, contorting themselves publicly; sculptors, painters, poets, all just plain mad. Everything they do is outside of the boundary of reality. They show us things that don’t occur naturally, and hope that we viewers can see some meaning in it. Inventors are mad, too, I suppose, creating new things that do new things to make life better. All imagination is mad, and we humans are the only ones who use it. Or maybe not. Maybe other species on this planet use imagination and we just haven’t noticed it yet. Maybe it’s wrong to call it madness. Still, those people who have no imagination at all, they can’t figure out where artists get all their crazy ideas from. I guess madness is just relative.

War is responsible for, like, 90% of human progress in science, medicine, technology, cybernetics, process control, just about everything that pushes our civilization forward. Even the arts, stories, novels, poetry, music, dance, paintings and the like, pushed forward by response to horrible conflict. Without war, civilization becomes complacent, except for the rare individuals like Tesla, Edison, Marconi, only a few in each generation who pursue for the sake of unquenchable curiosity. But effort that spans civilization requires the incentive of the threat of extinction. I think, and this is frightening, that America is a warlike country not because we like attacking and killing, but because we use war like an innoculation to our national creativity, to push everyone from the janitor to the CEO to constantly think or new ways to do things, or just incentive to do better faster tomorrow. I hate to say this, but we may be great because of, not in spite of, being at war all the time. We need to be at war to be where we are. War has become our most effective tool for progress. I fear, also, that this may mean we will carry war into space. We cannot afford to leave it behind, in fear of losing our edge. The hawks may be the correct ones, after all. I wish I were wrong.

What’s it all for? Why am I here? The only solid conclusion I have come to so far, the only one that is not based on speculation, is that everything we do is to keep our minds off the fact that we are going to die.

Life is one long drawn out pain in the ass gleefully interrupted by death.

Human beings have a tendency to adopt the most comforting lie.

Everyone should read “The Way Of The Peaceful Warrior.” And all the Carlos Castaneda books. Just for the different perspective. And all of Hunter Thompson’s gonzo journalism. And every volume of the “Hitchhiker” “trilogy.” And Tolkien and C. S. Lewis, and Lovecraft, Simak, Bester, Heinlein, Tevis, Lewis Carrol, Hugo, LeGuin, McCaffrey, Brunner, and Ayn Rand. Read them all, and then look at the world with new eyes.

There’s a new drug called Stelara that does I don’t know what, but its proprietary name is ustekinumab. I kid you not. They’re just fucking with us now. Really. There’s no excuse for that kind of nonsense.

Don’t get angry. Get determined. It’s quite true that it’s better to be pissed off than pissed on. Yet, it is not necessary to get angry. Anger interrupts reason and without reason, actions are rash and likely to promote further confusion and corruption. Turning anger into determination to solve the problem at hand is the only sensible route.

Why didn’t Ella just leave? It’s not as if it was in a day of structured families with guardianship and custody. They didn’t even have birth certificates back then. Ella knew the whole house. She cleaned everything. She must have known where the money was. She did all the shopping. She would have had access to the safe or whatever. She could have been out of there and off to Carpathia before anyone would know which direction she took. It’s not as if the wicked stepmother and ‘sisters would have been able to pursue her. Without money, their vaporous popularity would have evaporated. Big shrug. Ella would have gotten away scot free and made herself a new life, maybe starting up a housecleaning business, hiring all the oppressed orphan girls and providing them with a decent place to sleep and business and etiquette skills. We’re talking the beginning of GRRRL power in the twelfth century. The whole world would have been different. A whole culture of capitalist business Amazons spreading out across Europe, organizing and liberating. It would have been the end of violent colonialization and the beginning of cooperative capitilization spreading out across the globe. African women, native American women (how come no one ever says native African women?), Asian women, all uniting against the violent dictates of the men. What an interesting alternate history…

Christianity is a fiction. Sex is a reality. Which do you think will persevere?

Man invented god so that he could make believe that he would never be forgotten.

Space… the Final Blunder.
These are the spoilages of the Starcrap Internalize.
Its five episode intermission:

When God shows you an acid dream, it’s time to wake up.

I don’t know how many times, when I was a kid, I would awaken in the middle of the night to hear the sound of the television hissing with end-of-broadcast static. I would walk silently out of my room after taking a minute or more to silently turn the knob and open my door. There would be my parents in their respective chairs, asleep and breathing deeply. My mother on the couch. My father in his La-Z-Boy, which my mother often joked about taking in the back yard and soaking with gasoline and setting alight to dance around it. Step by perilous step, I would pad across the living room carpet to the television. With every step I would scrutinize my parents for any move or sound. I was on a mission. Getting caught was failure. At the TV I would slowly turn down the volume to nothing, maybe over the course of five minutes. At least, it felt as if it were that long. With the sound down, all silent, I could hear my parents breathing or snoring quietly. I would then turn the television off, again in complete silence. Whether the off position required a twist or a push, I would hold on to that knob for dear life. It must not click or snap. The plastic case of the TV would resonate like a drum. I could feel it click, but must not hear it. The TV would turn off. The room would become less bright, the static image replaced by an ugly greenish gray. Then, I would creep back to my room, just as slowly, still on mission. Behind me I would close my door and lay me down to sleep. This happened as if it were my job, when I was a kid. I guess I was destined to be the guy who lives quietly by himself. It’s my job to watch the world, but for what I cannot yet guess.

I just figured it out. God was invented to erase peoples’ sense of privacy. The idea that there is an entity that can observe you even when you are alone, turns privacy into shame. It is an attack on individuality. If you are never alone, if there is never any chance at privacy, you are constantly being watched and judged. You are not in control of your own life. You have no right to your own life and your own privacy. You do not own yourself. God does. And someone else is always telling you what God wants for you and from you. The whole concept of God is an attack on individualism. This is why God must be eliminated. There can never be a level of tolerance between believers and those who have no use for belief. The believers will never accept that some have the right not to believe. The belief system requires that all believe, or be made to believe even up to the use of force, as has been well and aptly demonstrated time and time again throughout history. Individualists have never stooped to using force to promote individualism. Religious believers and other collectivists have never hesitated to exert force and violence against individualists. That is the difference, and that is what must be fought.

The fact that most drugs are illegal for pleasurable purposes (except for alcohol and tobacco which are just too large as established industries for the medical industry to fight, and we see how successful Prohibition was) shows that doctors are not interested in fostering pleasure as such, but in fostering health for people to be free to build pleasurable lives around them, rather than seeking the immediacy of pleasure from drugs without the need for a pleasurable life as such. It is much better and much more pleasurable to have a life full of natural pleasure than to have a life full of natural misery offset by an artificial pleasure that will eventually kill the patient (to doctors, we are all patients.) So, the anti-narcotic philosophy is not angry, oppressive domination, but sincere caring by individuals for the general population of fellow humans who really don’t know better and need to be guided. Therefore, drugs should not be made legal, but the effort toward fostering a more happy world must be more strongly attended. We have to support our doctors. They support us.

Antimatter is matter moving backward in time. That’s why the particle and orbital spin and the charges are reversed. Antimatter is matter heading back toward the big bang. There is as much antimatter as there is matter. All the antimatter and matter meet at the beginning and cause the big bang. Still, remember that the big bang is only a tiny fraction of what was going on in reality at that moment. There are those cosmic membranes, to which our entire universe is just a minor wrinkle. I always try to see myself from a point of view outside the Milky Way galaxy. One must keep a proper perspective.

Mystery writers are murderers who are too chicken to do the deed.

Follow the drugs far enough up the chain, and you will find that it’s all controlled by white guys.

We live in a world of leaders and followers. It’s the way our speci developed. People are always looking around for someone to tell them what to do. Otherwise they just sit and watch TV or play ball or sleep or go out for a walk or a drive. Things wouldn’t get done. It’s in our genes. But the leaders we choose (or are led to choose, so who are the real leaders?) are not always deserving of the role or the title. This is the flaw of civilization. As Ursula K. LeGuin coined so aptly in the title “Vaster Than Empires And More Slow,” our civilization is self-correcting, but it may not reach a correction in time to save all the people who are hurt or killed by any incidental flaw. That’s the breaks.

To be beautiful, talented, and ambitious. Of which I am none. Ya gotta want it. I want none of it. Or I don’t know what I’m missing. I just don’t know anymore.

Time is the orbit of all things.

The star gate opens. The star gate closes. As unimaginably titanic forces are balanced against each other with precision that would make a scalpal blush, two ends of a crowded universe are joined as one in wholly mathemony for a period of exactly i over the square root of seven. (That’s how I would have written it. A little bit Clarke, a little bit Adams. Which doesn’t come out as trite and poetic as I was hoping, because there’s only one way to say ‘A little bit country, a little bit rock’n’roll’ and get away with it. Feh. Can’t be all great days.)

If there is no Heaven, then Earth suddenly becomes very important.

I live in complete privacy. My five foot tall windows are five feet from the floor beneath a ten foot ceiling. All I can see through the windows are trees and sky, even though I live in a suburban neighborhood in a rural part of New York. Every other human being on Earth could disappear and I would not know it until I drive away for work and see no automobile traffic or pedestrians at the intersection of Routes 208 and 52 and Bank Street, which has the first traffic light that I encounter during my sojourn to work. However, I might unthinkingly mistake it for Sunday, which sometimes has little to no traffic at the hour at which I leave, possibly due to grogginess from little sleep to which I am sometimes subject. People who do spend more than a few minutes conversing with me find me amazing. My usual opinion is why aren’t other people like me, or contrarily why am I not like other people? I would probably have to be one like them to understand the difference, but then I would not be different enough to notice the difference. In that case I would think someone like me was amazing or just plain weird or spooky. In this reality, I am the spooky one and I know too much about them to be comfortable in their presence.

A faceless self-satisfied voice from Flushing told me today that I had to get my doctor to purgor herself by reporting that I can attend to my job without the use of any painkillers, so that I may better attend to the corporation’s wants and needs, which are essentially the declarations of a self-appointed god. I’m lawyering up. Well, that went well. I’m in the wrong as usual. What a twit.

I went Sunday without taking Vicodin at work. I took my usual seven pills in the morning, but spent the day at work in a tedium of groaning pain. Of course, it keeps me from falling asleep at my post. But, it makes me want to leave and kill myself. I don’t think a paycheck at the low end of tolerable is worth suffering that much pain at the behest of my employer. That Tingle woman can go shit in her hat.

Truth is the only thing that makes life worth living.

When matter became aware of itself… People keep calling it a miracle. What if the event, this phenomenon, was actually inevitable? Like materials coallesce. Proteins, amino acids, lipids, minerals, water, joined together to make people. Is it really so miraculous? Or are we just convincing ourselves of a fallacy that the event is rare, just because it has not occurred elsewhere within our field of view? We forget that our view is very limited and imprecise. We may just not have seen how inevitable and commonplace is this phenomenon that we call life. Life is, after all, just a particular configuration of mass and energy. Life is any system that become enthalpic, requiring more energy to achieve greater complexity, as opposed to nonliving existence, which is entropic, losing energy and order to the chaos of osmosis. Look for entropy, and there is life. Simple, really.

People get the government they want. Americans are paranoid and want immediate gratification. So, they have gotten Homeland Security and Walmart. It was inevitable.

Just watching a movie called Unthinkable. So many pictures try to out-do Appoclypse Now. Like spy movies trying to out-do Three Days of the Condor (they didn’t have enough film for Six Days, I suppose, or maybe the stars would have had to be paid double, or probably not, since, I think, if memory serves, and I don’t feel like looking it up even though I am sitting at a computer, that Robert Redford was one of the Producers.) It’s the Kane Syndrome. Everyone tries to out-do, even though they know in their heart of hearts that they cannot, but still they try. That’s that craxy thing called Faith, I suppose. [My mind just inadvertantly (or intentionally? who knows the workings of the Subconscious?) invented the word “craxy”–sort of crazy but not really; crazy from another dimension, maybe. The Secretary will deny all knowledge.] Can a grande guignol accomplish more than Colonel Kurtz and his little arms? Shakespeare was so fond of speeches and soliloqueys for a reason. Like Charles Osgood, he was of a mind with Will Rogers who preferred radio because the pictures are better. The greatest plays are the ones that play out inside your own skull.

One need only attend a steampunk party to realize the depths of human pretentiousness. That and the Society for Creative Anachronism. And the North-South Skirmish Society. And every Renaissance Faire ever produced. Christ, it’s endless, isn’t it? Actually, since it’s history, it is endless. What was I thinking? Can you imagine the superpeople of centuries to come dressing up as nerds and lawyers from the late 20th Century? How amusing would that be?

Life is not a punishment to be endured but a problem to be solved. That’s why the world’s greatest people have always been scientists and philosophers. They are the champions of why and how.

Inside every woman is an angry little girl.

All scientists are detectives. In fact, the only difference between the two is that a scientist pursues elusive particles and a detective pursues elusive criminals.

If we were to get rid of the corporations, that their psychosis resulted in their expulsion, their expiation, what would replace them? Would our way of life need to disappear? Would we need to adopt an entirely different culture? Can we survive without the corporations? Are we trapped with them in the same small room?

There is only one thing that parents never fail to pass on to their children, and that is stupidity.

Waves of melody crashing against cliffs of percussion. How’s that for a line?

Given the opportunity to know what things are worth… People are stunted when they are poor from birth…

Pregnancy is a form of cancer. The phoetus is a tumor in that it feeds from its host and provides nothing in return. It is parasitic. It grows obtaining nutrient from its host. It has DNA which is a mutation of the host’s. It is a tumor.

I like these “Who Knew?” books they’re advertising on the tube these days. Learn Grandma and Grandpa’s secrets, indeed. Soon as I heard that, my mind clicked into: “Yeah… Grandma liked to play the horses and Grandpa was a chorus girl.” Eh. It’s a gift.

Parents are supposed to have no self-doubt. If the child sees the parent doubting their own skill, the child’s sense of self-worth can be shattered. True reinforcing parenthood is a form of monomania, with an audience comprising children.

“You see? That’s what happens when you keep people from doing what they do best. It makes them insane.” Det. David Goren

You know what living on the edge means? Being $24,000 in debt and one second away from unemployment. That’s living on the edge.

“See your authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer…” There are unauthorized Mercedes-Benz dealers?

Out of all the things we do, sleeping and dreaming are the only thing that don’t fit. Everything else has a definite place in reality. The only thing for which no one has an explanation is dreams. There are guesses. Some rabid declarations. But dreams are the only thing that don’t offer even the hope of a hint of purpose. Dreams are the only things in reality that don’t do anything. That means… dreams are everything. They are the only thing. That’s where to start looking. What doesn’t fit is the key to everything.

Rich Hall saved my life. I was thinking about killing myself, which is all I ever do about it, and I turned on Top Gear, and there was Rich Hall being funny as ever. He made me laugh and I stopped thinking of killing myself. Ain’t life grand?

Doesn’t the rainbow prove that light in space (not outer space–the space all around us, the space between our subatomic particles) operates on levels of harmonics? If light were just variation of frequency, the rainbow would display a continuous shift of color from just above infrared to just below ultraviolet. Instead, it displays distinct bands of harmonic purity. Or–and this is a big or–our optical mechanism can only perceive those harmonics. Is the phenomenon a function of light in space, or a function of our perception. The easiest way to test this hypothesis is to scan the rainbow with a colorimeter. If it reports distinct bands of similar frequency, then space is sensitive to harmonic frequencies. If the meter reports continuous change from one frequency to the next across the visible spectrum, then it is our visual mechanism that is limited by harmonic frequency sensitivity. Why one or the other is yet to be pondered.

I’ve noticed lately I’m always in an extremely suicidal frame of mind when I wake up. After a while, usually halfway into the first cup of coffee and waiting for the pain meds to kick in, maybe with a bit of teevee, it goes away and life becomes mildly interesting again. Wierd dreams every night, but that’s de rigueur. I don’t know why mornings have become so bad.

The Realtors® (have to put that in there–they’re very touch of anyone using their ridiculous title without permission–maybe I’ll copyright the word Faketor, being a writer or at least very serious daydreamer) are pushing home ownership in teevee ads again, trying to convince everyone that it’s the key to self esteem, national coherence, and universal well being. Didn’t the apocalypse of five years ago leave an impression on anyone? And now Dow is advertising with a walking shrub man trying to convince everyone that they are ecofriendly in an Olympic fashion. I suppose they don’t advertise in Bopal, India. And General Electric is all ecofriendly, too, and they do advertise in the Hudson Valley. Power’s greatest ally is a short public memory.

Cancer is not a disease. It is a side effect of the design. Mutation is necessary. By definition, a controlled mutation is oxymoronic. Some mutations just don’t work.

Life is bullshit for a reason. It’s so we don’t become too attached to it.

However, I don’t think that we humans will annihilate ourselves. I think that if some politician wants to start World War III, the guy standing next to him will think of his wife and kids, and everyone else’s wife and kids, and turn and kill that politician to save the world. Probability is totally against enough people who are totally psychotic having sole access to something globally destructive. There will always be enough sensible people standing nearby to stop the psychopaths from starting the end. A problem is that one of the things that drive some people toward political power is an overwhelming and paranoid drive to destroy anything that is deemed a threat, no matter how twisted the criteria. Our so called democratic process, being a total scam now controlled by corporate boards, allows for too many psychos in offices of power.

MTV was banal to begin with, and there have been only a handful of truly artistic videos, along with Daria and Aeon Flux to qualify its existence, but after watching a few minutes of something called Ridiculousness, I am convinced the future is Idiocracy.

I never noticed before, but Tony the Tiger has jaundice.

Things don’t matter. It’s what you do with those things, and why.

Pleasure is not the same as happiness. They are intertwined, or should be in the best of situations, but can and very often are separate. One can be helpless, wracked with pain, with no options, and still be happy, if that one takes ownership of the pain. Meaning: to know that the current condition is one’s and one’s alone, and to realize that a situation acknowledged can be a situation that can be changed. To take ownership is to acknowledge one’s limits and one’s strengths. It is the epiphany of selfhood. The being of being. And that is where happiness comes from. Pleasure is temporary and temperamental. Selfhood, once earned, is the happiness that cuts through anything and everything. Happiness and pleasure don’t always lead to one another, but happiness is the purer goal and the greater prize.

Funny thing about suicide. You’re only suicidal if you actually commit the act. Commit TO the act. Do it. If you call someone ahead of time, if you “try” in a way that may not work, it ain’t really suicide, is it? It’s a cry for help, as the whiny piddly-widdlies are so fond of exasperating. Ya gots ta do it ta be it. No half measures. Do or do not. Try there is not. To quote a small snot colored snot sized pint of deformity formerly known as a Jedi master. And part time Latex puppet, now committed to CGI in the afterlife. The bearded Jedi master is gone but Frank Oz remains to fight the good fight. Not that there’s any fighting on Sesame Street. I wonder if I could learn/teach myself to passably play the piano in two weeks? Week and a half. Well, an hour a day for six months, gotta learn something. Eighteen hours a day for ten days, also gotta learn something, if not how to play through cramped hands. Interesting postulate.

Either everything means something, or nothing means anything. There is no middle ground.

Or, maybe there is.

Life is a process of turning fantasy into reality. This is the only criterion of success.

We understand as much about the universe as a bacterium understands a computer.

Jesus Christ, it’s all emotions. From the moment you’re born to the moment you die, that’s all that qualifies this bullshit. Survival is for spiders. We humans are cursed with feelings, and that’s what makes us more than zombies.

Madness in real life in neither fun nor profitable. Video games serve the purpose, in allowing people to exercise mad behavior without restraint, in an environment that not only promotes such behavior but rewards it. These games are the walking dream that allow many to continue to exist in reality without causing undue concern for others for whom reality is, apparently, enough. In my opinion, the former are the far more interesting people to meet.

Life is just a nonexistent character between parentheses.
A ghost told me the most parenthetically beautiful word is goodnight.

It is not the monsters that we may become, but the monsters that we are. For who can resist change? Those who try face extinction, for only evolution is immortality in the face of ever changing reality. The only other course is to remain forever, unchanged, static, unlearned, ungrown, unsweetened, unmatured, unrealized. Immortality is only for those who stand and wait.

Commerce is a popularity contest. Some admirable civiliation, eh? Douglas Adams was right.

Fresh coffee, fresh tobacco, and blue denim on a woman’s thigh. These are scents I will miss when this world is gone.

Caught another camel cricket today. Walking on the carpet next to my chair, exploring. Put it on the front porch as usual. This place must be camel cricket central station.

Is it just me, or does the water in the heating system sound faintly like the announcer from a 1970s detective show?

The best you can do is try to arrange things so that your life is as fun as possible and that your death is as painless as possible. That’s it. It’s all just a pattern of mass and energy from one end of the universe to the other. There is nothing caring for you and looking out for you. Never has been. That’s just the way it is. The universe doesn’t care what you think. It doesn’t think. It has no cares. It just is. You just are. For now. And it’s always over before you’re done. It doesn’t get any better than that. You are the latest pattern of those molecules and that energy. Sometime later it will be something else’s molecules and energy. Just swirls in the pattern. That’s all we are.

Wearing visibly brand named anything is just announcing to the world whose bitch you are.

Some people are very ambitious and get things done. I can’t see myself succeeding at anything, and I don’t know why that is.

There is no happiness without piness. (Do not give this to a militant Lesbian to read on the air.)

No one is appreciated who is living and creating on the cutting edge. Only after it becomes dull do others feel safe enough to approach.

All the bastards want my skin, but I’ll be wearing theirs. Just a quick lyric.

I just realized how Christmas got screwed up. It was the season for forgiving. Somewhere along the line, somebody left off one of the “for”s. It became the season for giving. Not forgiving. Do you see what I’m talking about?

Have you ever walked through the forest where the dappled sunlight feels like warm kisses in the cool rain?

The universe creates what it wants, what it needs. It created us to imagine, to dream.

Spiders love coffee. Don’t ask.

God created life so that he could have something to eat.

I would rather be a magnificent failure than a mediocre success. I don’t think that’s an original saying.

Anarchists are the ultimate optimists. We believe that mankind will survive long enough to become a species of individuals who do the right thing all the time without needing to be told.

It’s easier for us to see a galaxy 13.3 billion light years away than it was for Colombus to see the New World from the shore of Spain.

Pain is a gift. It’s life’s little way of telling you you are still alive. Death is the last gift you will ever receive. It’s the one you can’t give back.

Life doesn’t have to be long, but it has to be worth it.

Religion: lies that give the cowardly power over the stupid.

Everything is made of light.

The Constitution is not a set of rules imposed on many by few. It is a contract signed by every American citizen. It is signed with the blood of the brave ones who died defending it.

All of human civilization, billions of lives over millions of years, trillions of man and? woman hours of struggle and strife and accomplishment and failure, have led to this moment. The crowning achievement of the human species. The cat fountain.

Religion is one excuse people have for being idiotic. Love, money, and revenge are others.

The Internet is the worst thing that ever happened to stupidity.

My cat eating a whole can of food in one sitting is like me eating three pounds of food in one sitting. How the hell does he do it? No wonder he’s sleeping right now. He’s probably in a coma.

The root of all evil is the belief that things are more important than people.

The universe is a two-way street with a big bang at each end. Each lane is the antithesis of the other. One way is matter and time. The other antimatter and antitime. As the universe grows old it encounters a great pool of antimatter waiting at the other end. Big bang. The whole thing starts up again going in the opposite direction. Until it grows old and encounters a great pool of matter waiting at the other end. Forward and backward through time forever.

I have this feeling that Harry Potter will end up being J. K. Rowling’s Charles Foster Kane.

I had a dream, I went to live in a big house on an island. I got to the island and I had to walk for a long way through dry undergrowth pulling a wagon to get there. And then I was thinking about the house at night, and there was a light on it, a light bulb like in a window, and I was sort of looking at a map of the island and hoping it wasn’t on the shipping lanes. I was sort of worried it would get hit. Then later my dad was there, and there was a black cat living at the house. And my dad and I went away through the undergrouwth with the wagon, and the cat stayed and ate a meal. And we never came back, and the cat stayed and I kind of wondered what he would eat. But he did not seem unhappy to stay at the house.

A world just of air, and air alone.

Waking hurts. It hurts to be awake. I sleep, I dream, that’s where I want to be. I wake up, I’m here in this hell, it hurts. That about sums it up.

When am I going on tour? Well, I could say when Hell freezes over, but the Vikings believe that Hell is a frozen wasteland not unlike a Republican heart (as opposed to the fetid swamp of crocodile tears that is the Democrat heart–I am an equal opportunity disparager.) So, to be realistic, I can state with assurance that I will be going on tour immediately after the heat-death of the universe. So, hold your breath. No, really, hold your breath. I have a running bet over how many new recruits I can line up for Blue Man Group. (Fantasy response to such a question on my imaginary web page from which I sell my self-produced albums.)

The greatest writers were haunted by death. Poe, Clemens, Dostoyevski, Hemingway, Fitzgerald, all bathed in tragedy.

If I had a million dollars, I wouldn’t be doing anything differently than I am right now, and that’s the definition of pathetic.

Religion is the enemy of the mind.

I can’t understand how scientists can say that the Universe started from nothing, that there was just a Big Bang and no-time and no-space became time and space. No one has come up with a clear explanation of why this Big Bang happened. They just accept that it did. That sounds more like the prattle of religious zealots than a statement of scientific certainty. I still prefer my theory that matter is moving forward through time to collide with a mass of antimatter at the end of time which is proceeding backward in time to collide with a mass of matter at the beginning of time. Two big bangs, closed loop, explains a lot.

Why did the brony postpone his video? He was feeling a little hoarse.

Nice people don’t strive for power. Nice people don’t end up running corporations. Generally, corporations are not run by nice people. Neither are governments. Nice people who strive to protect other people from the not-nice people usually end up beaten, like Mahatma Ghandi and Steve Biko, burned, like Jean d’Arc (although she herself may not have been that nice, basically being a tool of one bureaucracy against another, with a sword,) or crucified, like Jeshua Ben Joseph. Where is the evil in the corporation or the government? If all the people leave the building, it is just furniture and communication tools sitting there idly waiting for people to return. The evil must be in the people but it manifests when they are situated in the setting of the corporation or government. Where a great bureaucracy shields the individual making decisions from accountability for the results of that decision, any manner of great evil can occur. Since the entity seeks the shortest, most expedient, least costly, and most profitable route to conclusion, any who are not part of the entity can be subject to all sorts of hijinks from which they have no protection nor recourse. Accountability is the key. All decisions and processes must become transparent to eliminate the threat of corporate and government power to the people at large.

There is no such thing as winning or losing. There is only keeping yourself busy between now and death.

Happiness is a lie your parents tell you about to keep you from thinking about taking vengeance upon them for bringing you into this miserable existence.

The game of political entities is control of the board, as with any game. That it ignores human suffering is what makes it monstrous.

Clumping is a natural process of the universe. It applies to everything.

Things are just things. Ideas are what count. But that gets half of it wrong. Things are as important as ideas. Without things, ideas are just daydreams. You can think about music all you like, but without things, even the simple act of clapping the hands or hitting a rock with a stick, the music is nothing more than a daydream. Things are important, and the right things at the right time are most important.

Every time I go to look for answers in the Internet, I end up clicking the Close button in frustration. When will I learn not to go back?

Revenge doesn’t mean shit. It really doesn’t.

A virus standing on a bacterium standing on a flea standing on a dog standing on an elephant standing on a whale has more impact on the whale than Man has on the Universe.

America is great because white people are better at genocide.

Life is like a fish trying to light a cigarette.

Everybody’s just making it up as they go along. Nobody really knows anything.

The existence of entertainment proves that life is intrinsically miserable. If life were at its core happy and people were capable of natural happiness just due to being alive, entertainment never would have been invented.

A man who had disguised himself as a zombie was shot dead today by a fellow bus passenger who actually thought he was a zombie, thus proving that Americans are ready for the zombie apocalypse, and that Americans are both heavily armed and batshit insane.

I watch Yuja Wang play Chopin Opus 64. I understand now.

Nothing is ever as enjoyable as I expect.

I don’t know how anyone can look at this planet and think that there is a god. Any god who would let all this happen would have to be stone cold batshit insane.

Man is the most horrible creature on Earth, possibly in the Universe. He professes to be the only creature that understands love and is capable of love, yet he destroys everything in the most painful way possible. Man is as insane as the god he worships.

When someone says “You can’t…” they’re always projecting.

You can kill your enemies or you can help them become better people. Which kind are you?

Are you looking for America? Look in a mirror.

This is how prejudice works, children. It puts up a wall of negative certainty between the bigot and the world, through which no reasonable argument can reach, and by which the moron can be safe from actually having to think. Kind of like religion.

Cats are the only animals in nature with a sense of equity. While a dog may devotionally swear its life to you, a cat will leave you a dead mouse after you leave out plates of food for it. Some animals may be more intelligent, but cats can recognize the other. They acknowledge otherness.

The only thing worse than smoking is not smoking.

If the first intelligent alien race we meet is decended from cows, diplomatic relations are going to be a nightmare.

The two most important substances on Earth, air and water, are colorless, odorless, and flavorless. No wonder people are bored.

Success: the right brain in the right body at the right place at the right time. All other cases: failur.

After a few days without cigarettes, if this is what real life feels like, then fuck real life.

The human species is a slime mold living on the rotting testicle that is planet Earth.

To be a thinking mind trapped in this slimy snot-lubricated pustulant meatbag is the worst insult in existence.

I am developing a helicopter for turtles, so they can cross the road without being run over.

What is the fun of trying to kill something that can’t kill you back?

There is no turning back from life. It is going to destroy you. You must fulfill your promise while you can. Or don’t. Not that anyone gives a shit.

We’re all abandoned pets.

Nobody runs for President who isn’t in the corporate pocket. No one who would fight the system would be allowed to win.

Censorship is a society lobotomizing itself.

No matter how bad it feels to quit smoking, smoking will eventually feel worse. Great. So I have a choice between bad and worse. Any more bright ass ideas about why I SHOULDN’T kill myself?

Everyone who uses a god as an excuse to prolong ignorance is reinventing that god in their own image.

The doctrine of sacrifice is always preached by those in power to those whose sacrifice provides the power.

Video games should be designed so that each time the player loses a game the people who made the game get an electric shock.

Life is horror.

Consciousness, sapience, is just one functional structure of the universe, like magnetism and gravitation.

“Everybody Wants to Rule the World” is the anthem of the ’80s. It is the whole spirit and voice of a feeling, as if the eco-awareness of the ’60s had come together with the techno-progressiveness of the ’70s to create a new sense of future unfolding, and the world was poised on the brink of become a child’s garden of grass all watched over by machines of loving grace. What a bunch of assholes we were.

My body is a thing. I am what my body does. I am a process. When the body ceases to function the process ceases to exist.

Humans: So easy to train, even a cat can operate one.

The only thing I have found that is never boring is pain.

The only reason there are so many boring people is that fucking becomes the least boring thing in some people’s lives and that leads to the procreation of more bored people, so the only way to eliminate bored and boring people is to eliminate boredom and make sure life is always better than sex so that they won’t fuck and procreate and the boring people will die out through attrition.

Listening to Tom Waits is like suddenly waking up and realizing you’re walking through twilight along the straw strewn by-ways of a county fair from hell written by Ray Bradbury by the light of a full moon on midnight of October Friday the 13th some time in the late 45th Century and everyone looking at you is the ghost of a robot and they are hungry.

The law must apply equally to everyone or it applies to no one. If that repressive little hairpiece wants to be able to say what he thinks he should have a right to say, then Zappa has to have the same right to say what he thinks he should have a right to say. The law is neither conservative nor liberal, but equal. The job of government is to act as equalizer, mediator in all disputes, private, public, local or international. It should serve no other purpose. Only a fool would say otherwise. (After watching a video of Frank Zappa rebuking Republican windbag John Lofton.)

This is why women know they’re in charge, because men need special care. (After watching a Yamimash hot pepper sauce challenge, i.e. swallowing a spoon of hot sauce after every death in Gears of War 3.)

If it isn’t zombies it’s Nazis. Or zombie Nazis. Because it’s sooooo difficult to make someone look heroic and sympathetic under Nazis. What a challenge. Let’s write a book about being brave in the face of book burning Nazis. Oh yeah, we could use another one of those. How about a book about why six million people let themselves be herded into cattle cars. Because if six million people had stood up as one and said NO, the 25,000 Nazis that were around then wouldn’t have stood a flipping chance. (After watching a trailer for the film The Book Thief.)

Man invented the spiritual to escape causality, and it works until you get hungry or cold or injured. Then it’s all physical again.

The universe sleeps, and we are the dream of the universe. Some day, the sleeper must awaken.

I just saw a listing for a job opening for Entry Level COO, Chief Operating Officer. That’s like Apprentice General.

Everything is an answer to a question.

The game doesn’t care whether you win or lose. The game doesn’t care whether you play at all.

Having something for tomorrow seems to be the constant idea, to ignore the fact that it’s all meaningless and that creating a subjective meaning is better than facing the no meaning. My constant complaint. But you really don’t have to create anything for tomorrow, you don’t have to bring anything to it. Tomorrow always brings something to you. Tomorrow will arrive regardless of your wishes. Tomorrow doesn’t care whether you care or not.

Si igitur potes intelligere, hoc omnino culus tibi.

Corruption will always have more money than virtue.

In failing to create a true human being, one only creates a creature of infinite sorrow.

It is less terrifying to meet a bear in the woods than it is to fall in love.

Faith is a madness some minds need to ignore the horror of being alive.

What causes sorrow is the weight of life. But, when you realize that life weighs nothing, sorrow disappears.

Dogs like to drink from the toilet for the same reason that humans like to drink from the milk carton.

If a good German had stood up and punched Hitler in the mouth, World War II might never have happened.

Recording things to share is expecting other people to spend their future in your past. That’s presumptuous.

I have this vision of “300” remade with Kurt Cobain as Leonidas and Jordan Rudess as Xerxes.

I have survived in spite of my incompetence. What does that say about the nature of reality?

We are not what we think we are.

There is only one thing you can be sure of, and that is uncertainty.

Rust and blood are pretty much the same thing.

There is no great mystery; we are merely the universe trying to figure itself out.

Amused bemused cemused demused.

I’m a plebeian who buys 32-oz. cans of coffee for $6 and change, Columbian. The K-Cup isn’t the worst invention the world has ever seen, but if we could get rid of it along with atomic bombs and murdering robot death drones, the world would be a better place. What amazes me is, as our civilization winds down and fewer and fewer people are producing less and less while a smaller and smaller handful of super powerful people get richer and richer, the only thing anyone can think of is how to extract more and more money from everyone else’s pockets while providing less and less product. I guess until outright thievery becomes legal, the K-Cup will do. I know I’ve worked for a few corporations that would sell their employees’ internal organs on the black market if they could get away with it. Why not? China does it regularly with the organs of prisoners executed for bookkeeping errors. Yep, same people that get all those glass shards and asbestos in the baby food you buy at Wal-Mart. Where you buy your K-Cups. Ain’t that an interesting coincidence?

I haven’t had a cigarette in a week. It’s difficult to tell if I feel worse or better or the same than I did a week ago. I only stopped smoking to keep from coughing and to keep from wheezing in a way that felt terrifyingly close to suffocation after minimal exertion (leaving the house and getting into the car, for instance.) I am terrified of suffocating. Probably a claustrophobic reaction, or maybe agoraphobic, I haven’t had it analyzed. But my anxiety for the past week has been limited to periods of sort of panting with the feeling of pure air going into my lungs, feeling sort of the same way as a big gulp of soft vanilla ice cream, and a feeling of a prolonged silent scream somewhere in the depths of me. That’s probably been there for years. The “soft” “sweet” ice cream sensation of air is there only when I’ve gone without cigarettes. I can’t say I have quit smoking. There’s no feeling like having quit a job. I am just not smoking. I am not an ex-smoker any more than not breathing makes me an ex-breather. That would only make me dead. I’m just not smoking. It’s not fun. I can’t pretend it is and I can’t see how this gets to feel better after time, any more than hitting oneself with a hammer gets to feel better after time. One merely becomes innured to it. There are benefits, and there are defecits. We will see how much stronger my fear of suffocation is compared to my tolerance for total overwhelming anxiety and annoyance. That’s what my life has come to, a balancing act between terror and anxiety. Emerson was right. PS–13 days. Now I can think again.

If I believed in god, I could accept that we were put here because he needed a good laugh.

I like the feel of synthesizers. The warmth of plastic, the cold sucking reality of steel, the kinship of wood, the inviting friendship of knobs, sliders, switches, and keys, the beacons of lights and diodes. Software has none of that. It just has functionality. Functionality does not have heart.

Life is automatic.

An elevator is just a subway train that goes up and down.

Never get into a staring contest with a robot.

If Leonardo da Vinci were alive today, and had gotten $1 for every copy of The Last Supper alone, he’d be a billionaire.

I’m wondering if the entire movie of Bladerunner and the hit it became was arranged by the medical industry to keep the original story of Bladerunner from ever becoming a movie.

We all live in a cage we call Earth.

I have come to realize that I live like a homeless person. In a house.

Open Labs Timbaland Special Edition NeKo Keyboard. What do you do with a keyboard named after a musician who named himself after a pair of trendy outdoors boots that are worn by people who never get within a hundred miles of places for which such boots are intended?

Recently I passed up a mint Hartmann Neuron (in the original box) for $3000 and a mint Yamaha VL-1 for $1500. I am an idiot and a coward.

“Meaning” is just another way of going insane within limits in order to keep from going insane completely in the face of the total meaninglessness of the universe.

Life rewards the nasty.

My dreams are so interesting. My life is so . . . not worth pursuing. I don’t know why I keep waking up, except for having to go to the bathroom.

Waterworld is The African Queen and Treasure Island.

And, while we’re at it, Brütal Legend is Army of Darkness with a boatload of pretentious musicians. And Jack Black, who can’t hold a candle to Bruce Campbell.

I love how people always attack others’ right to have a contrary opinion in the Internet. And by “I love” I mean I am repulsed by the inevitable display of incipient stupidity that appears to be the hallmark of the human species. A handful of brains creates the Internet and then the mass of idiots gets to abuse it like an old whore. The world is constantly presented with what it needs, and it always ends up settling for what it deserves.
When some people’s natural behavior is frowned upon as a criminal act in the eyes of a god, they have no recourse but to keep it secret and never seek help or counseling. There is no welcoming community in the sunlight for such people. They have been criminalized. As you are doing here, they face being blamed for being victims when they are only looking for the same sense of belonging and self worth as anyone. Do you blame a cancer victim for having bad genes? Do you blame a tuberculosis victim for breathing the wrong air? No, they are not criminalized. But, when the vector is through a pleasurable act that everyone in their right mind should be able to enjoy, these people are vilified and disgraced. It is the church’s authoritarian domination over people’s access to some afterlife and to pleasure in this life that nullifies cultural interest in seeking a humanitarian and welcoming culture of assistance and understanding. Churches seek to cure people not of their ills, but of their independence of religious authority. The two most important things in life, the driving forces, are sex and death, and it is over these that every church capitalizes. Anyone who steps outside the bounds of accepted behavior is damned. Thus, to become a victim of these dreadful diseases is to become a sub-human unworthy of respect, kindness, understanding or sympathy. In such a climate, how is their small world ever going to feel like anything more than a penitentiary?

War is a failure of intellect.

Your body is made up of parts of a billion dead things. After you die your body will turn to dust and be absorbed into a billion other things. That’s all there is to it.

Life is fighting against boredom, pain, and regret, for no better reason than not to be bored, in pain, or sad.

I’m getting images of a 007/MLP crossover, On Her Majesty’s Secretive Service, wherein James Poned, Agent 00Clop, whose cutie mark is a white dinner jacket, on assignment from Princess C, has an amazing adventure with special assistitant Miss Moaniepony, whose cute mark is the sign of Cancer the crab, which looks suspiciously like the number 69. Disturbing.
If a god created the universe why did he [sic] create so much evidence that infers that his existence is improbable at best and impossible at most? I thought it was the devil’s greatest trick that he revealed that he didn’t even exist. Ah! That must mean god is the devil!

God wants you miserable. He wants you unable to live without him. The best vengeance to to be happy.

Human beings should know better but they don’t. I think this proves the universe is beyond hope.

Reply to an article in the Atlantic about “America’s Creepy, Surveillance-Endorsing Love of NCIS”: It’s a love/hate relationship. Our American Revolutionary roots demand that we tell the government to get stuffed. Our love of lazy Sunday afternoons with the lawnmower and a grill full of burgers without a care in the world demands that we have nothing leering at us from over the horizon. It’s a contradiction, but that’s America. If we must be scrutinized by somebody, let it be Gibbs. And Abby and Ducky and Tony and McGee and the new girl (sorry, still haven’t got her name memorized.) At least, them, we can trust. In reality, the ones watching us are probably 99% good, decent people who believe in their work. It’s that 1% that you wouldn’t trust alone in a room with your kids or the silverware that we have to concentrate on. Ben Franklin warned us about this. So did Eisenhower. As Americans, we must take the initiative and act on it. Rust never sleeps.

All meaning comes from the mind.

There is no redemption. There is only decay.

Language is how thoughts pass themselves from one brain to another.

In the Bible’s Old Testament, “knowing” means fucking. That means the tree of knowledge in Genesis means the tree of fuck. What the fuck is that supposed to mean? Bananas? Plantains? Passion fruit? Breadfruit? Figs? Peaches? Cherries? Whoever wrote that book was the master of obfuscation. Unless it means the tree of evolution. Eyes wide. Christianity needed to hide the truth of evolution from the start.

The problem with humans is they think that consciousness is something special.

For some reason each man worships his own penis and he wants everyone else to worship it also. This is the beginning of all aggression.

From nothing come five kittens. Molecules lend themselves to collect into patterns that are self-sustaining and endothermic. Is life inevitable?

Reality does not like people who ignore it, and invents ways to dispose of them quickly.

Sport: the application of limited tools to the accomplishment of outlandish goals, thus requiring much practice to increase the skills inherrent in the player.

Sport promotor: some guy with a big mouth who realized he could get others to make him rich, thus ruining the game.

If human beings did not exist, cats would not have cheese. I think that answers that question.

I consider myself a hysterical pantheist. I believe all religions everywhere are hysterically funny.

Proof is the last thing that any religion wants. Proof is antithetical to the function of faith, which is the contradiction of reason.

What Minesweeper has to say about religion: That which is not based empiracally on fact is reduced to a guess based on sheer random chance. Thus there are many religions all of which are dead wrong but only one science which is dead right when proven right.

God that I don’t believe in help us if this is what passes for English these days. Ever watch that Outer Limits episode Soldier about a soldier from the far future who is accidentally transported back in time to the 20th Century, and he speaks this pidgin Spanish-Chinese-English-dog growl language that no one can understand? That is a lot of you typing in these bulletin boards. Please stop making English devolve into total nonsense so fast. If all thoughts, all communication are limited to six syllables at a time, eventually all great ideas will die and you will all be dog soldiers growling on a battlefield while your masters’ children dine in palaces.
PS–Michael Fink, even YouTube does not believe your post is English. It has placed a Translate link after it. A machine does not know that illiteracy does not translate.?

People have delusions; it helps them get through their lives. If you remove the delusions, you are completely left with reality. It may be impossible for any human mind to handle that. Even you have your delusions. They keep you from completely believing what I am writing here. From accepting it as the truth. The only truth.

I am an anti-labelist.

The thing about training cats is, you have to get them to think it’s their idea.

A pile of kittens is better than any video game.

The truth is far from every human mind.

The size and complexity of any web site will always just slightly exceed the network’s ability to transmit its content in a reasonable amount of time.

Truth is not a cure for idiocy.

I went looking for absolute meaning and found there is none. There is cause and effect which probably as close as it gets.

If you sit by the riverbank, eventually the bodies of all of your enemies will come floating past. –Sun Tzu

God is for people who have stopped thinking, or never started.

I am confident that I will succeed or fail. I am confident that I will live until I die. I am confident that the world will keep turning after I am dead. I am confident that this sorrow I feel will end. That thought is all that sustains me.

Liberty: the art of sleeping with one eye open and keeping a round chambered at all times.

Love is a temporary pretense during which we pretend that we can ignore the randomness of eternity and the eternity of randomness.

We are fleas on the cosmic dog just waiting to be scratched out of existence.

The world is our toy and we keep breaking it.

Krishna: “Do you see the bird?” Arjuna: “No, only the eye.”

It was always my friends who broke my toys, and only later did I realize I never liked any of those assholes.

It’s not the dying; it’s the amount of pain and terror you have to go through before it stops.

The only fundamental difference between a human being and a car is that the car begins to rot from the moment it is assembled and the human being is self-repairing.

For every nice thing that can happen, there are ten thousand things that will make you sad, or scream in agony, or die.

Writers are people who turn their daydreams into your daydreams.

A writer without an audience is just a guy daydreaming. An actor without an audience is just a guy playing make-believe.

Depression is like being locked in a room, only the door isn’t really locked and you can reach out and turn the knob and open the door any time, but it feels as if you are locked in, so you can’t do anything.

We are all accidents waiting to happen.

If I were me, I’d listen to me, and not listen to me.

All super-heroes starting with Superman are the golem. All heroes like Tarzan, Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers are Robinson Crusoe.

Anyone who prefers a religious dogma that contradicts the facts of reality is a nitwit.

Sport is how a civilized man proves in public that he can fight and kill without actually fighting and killing which would be uncivilized.

There is nothing in a video game that can hit you as bad as reality when it decides to target you.

Drinking beer by myself sitting in front of the cornputer, $25,000 in debt, gave up all the hopes and dreams, sell everything just to keep on living but what for, what’s left besides dying?

Religion is the zombie apocalypse.

The American power elite love democracy, when it serves them, and they will lie, cheat, steal, blackmail and murder to get it.

Is there a beforelife? Remember anything from before you were born? I didn’t think so. Then there’s no afterlife.

There are no rewards in the end. You’re just a pile of dead meat.

The song of my life would sound like the mewlings of worms burrowing through a dead crow lying on top of a smoldering pile of dung in a forgotten and neglected corner of Hell.

People who want to live can’t understand people who don’t. They get scared and want to throw the ones they don’t understand into some kind of incarceration where they can be corrected and made to want to live so they aren’t saying scary things. That’s real motivation for wanting to talk about not liking being alive any more (sarcasm intended.)

Smoking doesn’t make me happy. It just makes breathing less boring.

American freedom has come to mean slavery for anyone who is not white and rich. Poverty is a crime against freedom.

The purpose of the corporation is to destroy humanity, because humanity is not profitable.

Lying is the worst crime in reality, and religion is the worst example of it. Religion is a perfectly good mind choosing to be stupid. That is unforgivable.

Religion is a communicable disease.

Any government that kills children has to be questioned at the very least, and torn down if necessary.

Not everybody wins. In fact, most people don’t win.

Holy crap, people are stupid. Just read YouTube comments for a few days. You’ll wonder how 99% of the population even feed themselves.

The reality is that everyone dies too soon.

Life has two states, boring and terrifying. The only alternative is death.

Being a child is not knowing there is any such thing as perfection. Growing up is realizing there is no such thing.

In Republicanland Jesus was a Swedish Capitalist. You know. The kind that helped Hitler before the war.

The thought of war is insane and the idea of smearing the earth with the lead of a billion bullets is mind-numbingly stupid but to make bullets out of depleted uranium and smear that all over the earth is insanity squared. This is the planet where the lunatics take charge. If someone is giving orders somewhere on this planet, you know you have found a madman.

Genetically modified organisms as food cause cancer in those who eat it. Pharmaceutical companies’ new targeted cancer drugs cost tens of thousands of dollars a month per patient and are being pushed not just for late stage but for early stage cancer as well. I see a cycle here where corporations see billions upon billions of dollars of new profit in giving everyone cancer and then selling them drugs that do not cure the cancer but extend the life by a few months. This is a country run by corporations.

We are all prisoners of our chemicals.

War is never the soldier’s fault. The soldier ends the war. It’s the fault of the one who starts it. The politician.

Dogs are socialists. They serve the common good without question. Cats are capitalists. They break everything you have so you have to go out and buy more.

Some people are aggressive and go get what they want. Others are recessive and only want to hide. Either way, everyone dies.

Meaning is not found but made.

The problem with the human species is insatiable lust. We are destroying the planet in our effort to meet a need that we have manufactured. What do we need? Air, sleep, water, food, shelter. Everything beyond that is luxury.
Cool is fear.

“Tumble down the social media wormhole with everyone’s favorite nerd, Chris Hardwick, as he leads a daily, late-night competition to determine which top comedian has the funniest take on the day’s tweets, vines and pop culture posts.” About the cable show @Midnight. This sounds like what they make you watch in Hell.

The NAZIs did not believe they were evil. They believed they were fighting evil. The Spanish Inquisition never thought they were evil. They thought they were fighting evil. The Taliban and Al’qeda do not believe they are evil. They believe their opponents are evil. No one fights for anything believing they are evil. In their heart everyone wants to do good, to believe they are good. Evil is always what others call others. I wonder if people everywhere will ever understand this fully enough to stop all the bullshit.

War is a failure of imagination and communication, i.e. the things that make humans human. War is what happens when humans stop being human.

To argue about religion these days with the trouble we face, is like being in a car out of control speeding toward a cliff and worrying about the upholstery.

Did Hatsune Miku and Nyan Cat used to be Hexadecimal and Scuzzy?

Praise is the only thing that separates acting from playing make-believe.

A few thousand human beings in every age progress. The rest, the million, never learn anything.

Someone in one of the web site bulletin boards posted not knowing what the word twat means and apparently had never learned the concept of dictionary. Another person explained it, and then I added information about the word dork meaning whale penis and how calling someone a dork is a way of calling them a dick and a huge useless piece of meat at the same time. Puzzling how Western European derived culture is so obsessed with sex and yet so completely disgusted and revolted by their own pudenda to the point that most personal insults involve describing someone as genitalia. Japan has erect penis festivals celebrating fertility, although it’s a wonder that these survive with the encroachment of Christianity onto the islands. Pretty Japanese girls have no business wearing crucifix necklaces and going to parochial school. That just should not be happening. Ever notice that Christianity spreads like a venereal disease from country to country? They hate sex and act like a disease that is spread by it. To them, I can only quote Captain Jean-Luc Picard. “I will not sacrifice the Enterprise. We’ve made too many compromises already; too many retreats. They invade our space and we fall back. They assimilate entire worlds and we fall back. Not again. The line must be drawn here! This far, no further! And I will make them pay for what they’ve done!”

A woman is much sexier when she is wearing something.

When life hands me lemons I rub them on my skin after the steel wool.

The louder your truth, the stupider your opponents become.

Let me tell you about humans. They invented the vibrator before they solved world hunger. That tells you everything you need to know.

I prefer to be miserable. Then, I don’t mind dying.

If you wanted to fuck every woman on Earth, you would have to fuck one hundred women a day for one hundred thousand years.

I may be insane, but I’m not stupid.

Saying you hammer some nails is like saying you car down the road.

How do we know the universe doesn’t celebrate the new year on April 23rd? How do we know the universe doesn’t count in Jupiter years? Maybe Jupiter is really the standard for time in this system and we’ve had it wrong all along.

The only reason humans think they are important is because they are complex enough to think they are important. It does not mean they are important. Just that they think they are.

Religion is a thought-virus that seeks to spread and infect every rational mind. It must be eradicated.

I am quite sure that this new age of turning one’s private life into public spectacle is not a good thing at all.

Guided By Voices: somewhere between Tenacious D and They Might Be Giants.

The game doesn’t care if it beats you. The game doesn’t care if it loses. Why should you?

If I don’t smoke, I miss it. I can go without a cigarette for days or weeks or even months, but I still miss it. If I don’t smoke my life feels a little bit crappy. If I do smoke, my life feels a little bit crappy for other reasons. The only conclusion I can arrive at is that life is crap no matter how you look at it. The sooner it’s over, the better. So, why not just smoke and get it over with? It’s not as if it is going to be at all enjoyable either way. It’s just a long slog through hard labor and regret until oblivion eats you alive. Why drag it out?

A country founded on murder is not worth defending.

People are idiots.

Most human beings spend their lives parroting empty phrases without the slightest realization that they have no idea what they are saying beyond a compulsion toward self-rightous vanity.

2015 will be remembered as the year you could plunk down money for a new Prophet, Odyssey, Moog Modular, and 2-voice SEM. Can zombies be far behind?

Why is anything called mysterious? Why not just say that it is unexamined? That puts it into perspective.

You’re a wizard, Jesus. That would have explained every goddamned thing. And since Jesus was all about tearing down the sacred cows and disenfranchising the organization in favor of the individual, the future megalomaniacal organization that arose from his corpse would do anything to keep another Jesus from coming along to upset the Fascist apple cart, thus ordering a jihad against witches and wizards.

What if the Holocaust had been a terrible misunderstanding, and that Hitler being a strict vegetarian had wanted all of Germany to unite in crushing the juice?

It is another delusion to believe that you will make anything that will last. Behold my works, all ye mighty. It applies to everyone.

Lyrica. It will either lessen your fibromyalgia pain or kill you horribly. The wonders of modern pharmacy.

Life is just inventing shit to do before you die.

Adobe Flash, the high fructose corn syrup of the Internet. It’s in everything, and no one knows why.

The Internet is where all the guttersnipes have gone.

Religion: a thoughtless adherence to form for the sake of obedience.

Ralph the magic penguin
Lived like a duck
And tossed his cardboard bog roll tube
Like he didn’t give a single solitary tinker’s cuss.

The real issue is that our culture has developed so that children (and even youth and adults) take their behavioral cues from mass media images rather than from their own common sense. The panic over what will affect children’s self image is almost a cry of surrender to the obedience of the consumerist culture. The children are already acknowledged as being obedient little consumers. The fearful adults can only adjust and regulate the external images that the children are driven to obey. This is a sad statement concerning the resignation to a state of conformity and the end of individuality. Our culture is philosophically bankrupt and a costume change is not going to save it. (Concerning the public’s panic over the waist size depicted in the recent live action Cinderella movie.)

There are no secrets. There are no mysteries. No one is keeping score. No one will be rewarded or punished. There is only what is here.

Forget the grand gestures. At the end of the day all that matters is some simple comfort and a pair of warm socks.

No matter how far you stick out, you never know if you will get stroked, but if you do not stick out, at least you know you will never get cut off.

Hope is a delusion we feed ourselves in order to keep from going insane.

Writing is being really bored and having a screw loose, and being read by all those other people who are just really bored.

Breathing air and drinking water are like staring at a wall or listening to the air. This is why humans starting using tobacco, alcohol, art, and music.

Corporations are not in the business of keeping current customers happy. Corporations are in business to get people to spend money. It is in their interest to keep current customers unhappy in order to get them to buy new products due to disappointment with the old products. If you are unhappy and think that spending money is the solution, the corporations are doing their job.

Regarding Alan Tudyk and Nathan Fillian’s new web series Con Man: So they are not going to be kidnapped by actual aliens and go on an actual space adventure because the aliens who will not be showing up mistake them for actual space adventurers? It is just everything that leads up to the depressing pathetic start of that story without ever leaving the depressing pathetic milieu. OK, that is going to be a long haul. I see the Mordor of comedies being developed here. Behind the scenes of every convention is equal parts people who are thrilled by something beyond their ordinary lives, and people who realize this is their ordinary life and it is never going to get better, ever. As W. C. Fields said of the tea-totaler, “That is as good as he is going to feel all day.”

Life makes sense, unless other people are around.

Intern: a dog that volunteers to guard your chickens for so long that you finally decide to feed him.

Dreams are better than reality but they can also be cruel. I just dreamed that I had had a small part in one of the Harry Potter movies and that I was going to go somewhere and meet with Daniel Radcliffe again for some sort of promotional event. Also I was still in school and everyone saw me as sort of a celebrity. Then, I wake up into this purgetory of my own creation. Thank you, mind.
Has it not been statistically and historically proven that social and criminal violence have decreased significantly since the rise of video games over the past two or three decades? Today’s sudden surges of violence are anomalous and clearly have nothing to do with video games or other forms of entertainment. One can hardly attribute the US endemic racism of several centuries and its attendant violence to video games which have only been here for a generation.
Certainly time and effort would be better spent debating and creating solutions for ending violence in the real world and just ignore what it happening in games. Even as I write this, a real child somewhere in the world is being murdered in a random act of violence whether it be crime or war. Is that not what we should be trying to end?
Also, trusting government to regulate and end real world and fantasy world violence is verging on ludicrous. Is it not government that is directly responsible for arming millions of citizens from a highly supported industrial complex and then sending those citizens off to kill and die in war that may or may not be wanted by the majority? How can an entity that very often decides that mass murder is a possible solution to a diplomatic problem be considered an authority on regulating violence in fiction?

All my mistery in life came from other people wanting me to stop writing and work for a living. I eventually stopped writing completely and my life became an endless miserable shit hole. Thank you very much all you other people. It is for you that man invented hell. Too bad it does not really exist.

Bills are like headaches. If I do not get one, I do not think to go looking for one.

When you put yourself into someone else’s hands, you are going to be read. It is safer not to trust.

If it looks like acting, you are doing it wrong.

Beer is a good thing to drink, but a bad thing to breathe.

The problem with the upper class, the thing that makes them so particularly annoying, is that they feel superior not in intellect or physique but because they have been chosen as superior by a deity non pareil.

I just realized Star Trek is an analogy for school. Kirk is a jock, Spock is a nerd, McCoy is your dad, and Scotty is the bus driver.

Committing treason against traitors is not a crime.

The only thing that has kept me alive all these years is that death is slightly scarier than life.

Human beings are so stupid.

Gambling with your life is the only real excitement.

Audible books reminds me of Fahrenheit 451.

The Internet has become the world’s Id.

Maturity is realizing that dreams do not come true.

Letting computers make the decisions rather than letting them come up with the information from which we humans can make informed decisions is a bad mistake that will lead to our extinction.

Whiskey and cinnamon together only makes me think of mouthwash.

“Fast-paced, dynamic and challenging environment” means you are going to be overworked and underpaid.

Unfortunately, one is not given a choice as to what kind of parents one is going to have. If one is saddled with idiots who promote ruination for life, well, welcome to the planet Earth.

The difference between an analog and a digital synthesizer is like the difference between a typewriter and a word processor.

A million monkeys typing on a million typewriters for a millions years will produce a planet with no trees.

According to David Lynch, everyone is either evil, insane, or stupid. Shakespeare said pretty much the same thing. I guess nice, sane, smart people are boring and do not make for good drama.

Superman and Popeye shorts, Bugs Bunny, Beanie & Cecil

The one single trait that seems to be universal across the human species is arrogance. The species especially seems to believe that the universe thinks we are special. The truth, of course, is that we are beneath notice.

Life is imminently fair. The capable survive and thrive. The incompetent suffer and die. It is that simple.

Who decided that porn is a good idea? Are there dirty pictures in the Lascaux caves that the French do not show to the public? Were Fred and Barney in the cave porno business with Wilma and Betty? By the way, have you ever noticed that Fred’s house is, like, fifty feed wide, and yet Fred and Barney can walk along a hallway filled with dozens of exactly the same doorways for half a mile or more without stopping? This proves that Fred Flintstone was a Time Lord and his house was a TARDIS.

Someday the Sun will blow up and erase this little mistake call the human race.

There may not be any joy in death but there is no pain, either.

Truth is the immovable mover.

I thought the world was fair. It is not. The world is fuck you for trying. Once you understand this, you realize that success is achieve by get the fuck out of my way.

Being an artist is like being a fireman. You have to jump into the fire when common sense says run away.

The views expressed are not the opinions of.

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal” was written by a slave owner.

Artificial intelligence already exists. We call it the corporation.

It is not the civilians that start the wars. It is the politicians. But it is the civilians who end up doing the dying. The politicians are the ones who have the best bomb shelters.

All I want is God’s permission to shoot anyone who says or does anything obviously stupid in front of me.

Depression is like watching yourself being eaten by a snake because it is the only slightly interesting thing going on.

Michael Moore is right. Corporations are psychotic and everyone who works for one eventually becomes psychotic. They get absorbed into it.

I hate happy people. Happy people have stopped asking questions.

I wonder if I had more fun back when I was using PC-DOS. I used to write huge programs, and I seemed to get a lot more done in weeks than I have gotten done in years lately. Things are easier under the new operating systems, but it feels more like being led through a giant mall where everything is done for you and you have nothing exactly that you want to choose from. Kind of like being a corn fed pig in a box. Welcome to the jungle.

Everything goes to hell at puberty.

If I ever hear anyone use a word like “personpower” I will manfully punch them in the snoot.

“Sit by the river long enough, and you will see each and every meme in Cheezburger come floating by at least three times.” — Sun Tzu, “The Art of Bored”

Synthesizer enthusiasts are, as Ted Nelson described assembly language programmers, high priests of a low cult. Guitarists are bad boys. Drummers are maniacs. Synthesizer players are on a mission from god.

“Jurrasic Park” is Spielberg’s “The Producers.”

“Meaning” is just something you make up to keep from killing yourself.

“The Dark Side of the Moon” is a Pink Floyd album that is, in reality, an Alan Parsons project.

Evolution invented religion for a reason.

Never frequent a pub where the bartender has to look up a cocktail recipe in a book.

eBay, the light around which all the cheapskate gadflies hover like moths to a flame, where they expect everything to be available for ten cents on the dollar and do not hesitate to express resetment at any disappointment.

Life is ultimately fair. Smart people live. Stupid people die. Do not like it? Kill yourself.

Nothing changes more quickly or is worth less than an opinion.

How dare you care when I cannot even.

Even the most so-called wonderful things in life are merely momentary distraction from the boredom and pain; the only thing ever worth looking forward to is death.

Life is a long series of events that seem designed to lead one to pray for death.

I love advertisements, knowing that people are paying for my entertainment and they are never going to get a single penny from me as long as I live.

What does it matter who is rich and who is poor? Everyone dies.

I just ate a blue ice pop, and it tasted blue. Which is just fucking weird because I cannot explain what blue tastes like, because it does not taste like anything but blue. It definitely tasted blue. That is all I can say.

No, quitting smoking does not make your life better. It is the same life you had before without smoking. If your life was crap, guess what? It is still crap only without the momentary delusory comfort of a cigarette. Quitting smoking does not make rainbows and unicorns appear bearing a pot of gold and a bevy of eager redheads. That is just advertising and we all know advertising is lies. “Life is pain, highness. Anyone who says different is selling something.” –The Dread Pirate Roberts

The only reality is murder or suicide.

Being against suicide qua suicide is a species thing. The species does not want to lose the work you can do. There is a hive, and it does not want to let you go.

The toughest part of depression is ignoring the idea that you deserve to fail.

You ever wake up from a dream and just go “Oh…shit. It’s reality.”

New York State government services should be listed as an assisted suicide service because they certainly drive you to it.

I was not here for fifteen billion years before I was born. I will not be here for fifteen billion years after I die.

Everybody hates golfers, and golfers hate each other. There is a lot of hatred in golf.

The world will never run out of bastards who expect you to sacrifice your life for them. Only remember to refuse.

Forward is not always straight ahead.

Bureaucracies were invented to slow things down so that the powerful can keep an eye on things. If everything went wild then the powerful would lose track and soon find themselves out of power.

There is nothing worth saving. There is nothing worth fighting for. Everything dies in the end. What’s the point?

Antidepressant drugs do not make you happy. They make you look happy.

Everything in the Universe is made of vibrations. Synthesizers create vibrations. Synthesizers are the voice of God.

The Zombie Apocalypse is reactionary paranoia toward the Welfare State.

Republican scientists have engineered a new type of poor person; it eats dirt, shits gold nuggets, and has no voice. Preliminary trials showed great promise and they hope to be put into production well before the Apocalypse.

When I was a kid my favorite snack was Smokey Bear Cookies and Tang. I really wanted to be a Forest Ranger Astronaut, as later depicted by Bruce Dern as Freeman Lowell in “Silent Running.” Now I’m sad.

White people love masking bigotry and racism with “being patriotic” –goku8621 on U2b (later edited to “Right wingers…”)

That itself is a racist remark. You should say some white people. Just as I have encountered some black people who hear any personal or even general criticism and accuse the critic of racism, as if white people in general are not allowed to be critical of black people in any way whatsoever. In my opinion, color is only skin deep, but stupidity goes right to the bone. –my reply

Morality is slavery. Ownership is a delusion.

I am getting that kind of electrically tinglingly not-tingling warm all over that tells me I am at the center of the universe, and it’s delicious. This is when I know I’m right.

Yes, I am mad. And I am mad in a most delightful way. HEE HEE HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Sex is predatory. I am not a predator. I am not prey.

Having the finest violin in the world does not make you the finest violinist in the world.

Raise your children so that they have a heart of gold, a will of iron, and a mind like a steel trap with a mercury core and a full metal jacket.

The extent of your rules is the extent of your fear.

The Sneetches is an allegory for the automobile industry. Audi put fairy lights around the headlights of their cars. After a few years most every other car manufacturer put fairy lights around the headlights of their cars. Just watch; Audi will be removing the fairy lights from around the headlights of their cars.

Space is shorter near the ground. That’s why things go down.

Do you ever get the feeling that your whole species doesn’t know what the fuck they’re talking about?

Physical form is a conduit for information. Nothing more.

Don’t tell idiots they are idiots. It only makes them mad and never makes them not idiots.

A Career is the very worst thing that you can do to yourself. You want all the branches of a tree to climb on, not a flagpole.

Which are crazier: men or women? And why do the less crazy ones put up with it?

Normalizing is like leveling Mt. Ranier and using it to fill in the Grand Canyon. Normalizing is not a pretty thing, specially if it is against your will.

It is not so much that some people will do anything to succeed, but that most people will not stoop to honesty and integrity.

As a long time science fiction reader, Vegan is anything to do with the Vega colonies. Vegetarian means a person who is a vegetable, such as the original Thing From Another World, and Ficus Panderatas in the show Quark. There are herbivores, omnivores, and carnivores, which subsist on THC, old Bob Guccioni science magazines, and sideshow hucksters respectively.

Fuck the Nazis. Fuck the Jews. Fuck the Christians and the Muslims, too. Fuck Buddha and Confusius. Fuck the SJW self-righteous. Fuck war and politics combined. Fuck corporations that enslave the mind. Fuck Trump. Fuck Putin. Fuck Rivlin. Fuck deGaul. Go fuck yourself if this bothers you at all.

There is no meaning. There is only keeping busy.

I look at the list of Youtube’s Trending and I realize that the human race is descending into a mass of stupidity from which none of us will recover, and that our species is doomed to extinction in a very short time.

I don’t believe in writer’s block. I believe in fear.

Wow, not only EDM, but Hiphop and Pop, too. The only genres that exist. There are no musicians any more. Only producers. No music. Only produce. Like vegetables at the supermarket.

If someone says “What can I do to repay you?” tell them “Live a good life and be decent to people, animals, and plants.”

A cult is any religion that does not have enough members in the government.

It seems wrong that anyone who afford themselves the luxury of slave labor should expect to command the same pride of accomplishment and self-respect that is rightfully afforded only to free-thinking individuals.

Fruit flies have only three commandments: eat, mate, not be eaten. That’s the entirety of their day. That is pretty much how life all over the Earth worked, until Humans showed up. Humans felt the need to invent morality, and ethics. For some reason they felt that distinctions between good and evil behavior needed to be specified and enforced. Even when someone very smart and well respected like William Shakespeare tried to correct this turmoil inducing syndrome by pointing out that “There is neither good nor evil but thinking makes it so” most Humans seemed to take this as an invitation to relieve themselves of the responsibility and stop thinking entirely. This left a severe vacuum in the decision making department and you know what Nature thinks of that. Into this evacuation flooded a never ending load of hot air known as Politicians and we have been navigating dire straits for the duration.

The problem with the human mind is that it believes information is a sign of intent.

The United States is now officially a Fascist dictatorship, and the violent overthrow of the government will not only be historically legal but historically necessary. We must tear down Trump.

Some professional might say I have OCD. I prefer to think of it as immovable patience applied to unstoppable persistence. Turn your deficits into assets.

That’s the problem with making music tools accessible to everyone. Suddenly everyone thinks they’re a musician. It’s like the weapons industry. Can’t make billions of dollars making weapons if we can’t convince huge masses of people to murder each other. So, can’t make money selling overpriced music equipment unless we convince everyone with too much money for their own good that lack of talent is no impediment to fame and fortune.

Once you realize that all of reality is nothing but a self-created delusion, the entire concept of striving for anything reveals itself to be attempting to create more delusion.

But, didn’t the Straight White men create this whole world for a profit? So, it’s their fault? Black people didn’t enslave White people for 500 years. American Indians didn’t exterminate all the White people. Gay people haven’t been lynching Straight people or beating Straight people to death. Enormous numbers of women have not been raping men all over the world. Two World Wars that resulted in a hundred million deaths were started by Straight White males. Pretty much all wars, really. White males are the fucking bastards of history. White men have nothing to whine about. They are the current awful shitheads of the world. White men in general are the real cunts. You need to stop being the problem, or you will stop being. Period. Everyone who has been wronged by White men will cause White men to cease to exist as a thing. You will be erased. I promise you that. Mark my words.

I’m trying to search for the currently most expensive guitar to buy retail anywhere, just out of curiosity, but none of the search engines seem to understand what I am asking. I keep getting top ten highest auctions of famous guitars and shit like that. I mean, if you go to a shop or site, factory or custom made, whatever, just out of the box, what is the highest priced retail electric guitar in the world in 2019? Not asking about quality or desire or playability or worth it or not, simply who is selling a new out of the box electric guitar for more than anyone else anywhere at ths moment? Flipping stupid search engines apparently can’t handle that concept. Artificial intelligence? Not bloody likely in this century. Most humans can’t dredge up enough brain cells to qualify as intelligence. Flip the machines.

The next day, I see in Musicians Friend [sic] that “Fender Custom Workshop” [so called] has created guitars honoring three of the houses in Game of Thrones, each for $30,000 to $35,000. For $35,000, it had better at the very least provide a lifetime of perfect blowjobs. Really, the ones who give up that much money and the ones who think they deserve to get it, belong together. This discovery startled even me, and I have seen dead bodies.

Does anyone sell an electric guitar made out of human bone?

You can walk out into the woods with a saw and an axe and a shovel and build yourself a house. The question is, are you looking for a place to live, or are you looking for something to do?

Death is the only relief you will know.

You can know the truth, but part of that truth is knowing that no one else will ever listen.

A person is smart. People are dumb. There’s nothing dumber than a crowd. –Agent K

It is not that Democracy does not work. It is not allowed to work. The powers that be would never allow anyone into the Oval Office that would cause trouble for them. The whole idea that the power is in the hands of the people is a delusion allowed to the people by the ones who currently control everything, the so-called 1%. If you believe otherwise you are a functional idiot.

Happy Birthday, United States, and Declaration of Independence and Constitution. Now, let’s get that orange clown out of our White House.

The US Founding Fathers wrote the Declaration of Independence. It did not apply to their slaves. Do not listen to what people say. Watch what they do.

I’d put the Hummer at #1 douchebag/driven by a dick car. Lambo and drifter drivers are arrogant but they don’t ignorantly or who-cares go out of their way to hurt other people. Hummer drivers will knock shopping carts across the parking lot into your car and not even blink, as if it is their destiny to remind other people that they are scum that bad things happen to, and that the dick in the Hummer is the one who makes bad things happen. I once wanted to go into the store and buy half a dozen Kryptonite bike locks, and lock that many shopping carts to the rear bumber of a Hummer while the fat scuccine driver was inside buying tampons for his silicone bitch. I am sorry to this day that I did not do that. Every Hummer in the world (not being driven by the Armed Forces) should have shopping carts chained to the rear bumper, just on general principle.

Thank you, nongod, for pissing on Trump’s parade.

I have no use for any of you assholes.

Being human means living in a bag of snot until you die. I think that’s punishment enough.

President Trump is a Right-wing racist. The Senate are a bunch of Right-wing racists. The FBI is run by Right-wing racists. The corporations that own all the politicians are owned and managed by Right-wing racists. Hey, it’s business as usual in the United States of America, existing on slavery since 1776. It hasn’t stopped. It’s just changed brand.

The only thing more stupid than a Marvel supervillain is a Marvel superhero.

Think of it this way: if Donald Trump did not become President through corrupt interference by Vladimir Putin’s Russia, then he was elected fair and square because the American people have descended to a new level of stupidity. Which reason is more acceptable? Which is more frightening?

Rick Deckard is a useless piece of shit. All he accomplishes in the entirety of Blade Runner is to shoot two women in the back after each of them unarmed beat the crap out of him. He loses two fights against two other men also unarmed. A girly girl replicant has to save his life by picking up his gun and shooting his opponent just before Deckard is about to be killed. His last opponent not only beats him unarmed but hands Deckard back his pistol, and then still continues to beat the crap out of him. Deckard only survives because Batty turns all lofty and poetic, saves Deckard’s life when he was running in terror worse than a little girl, and then expires naturally. DECKARD DID NOTHING FOR TWO AND A HALF HOURS. He’s useless. He’s an insult to film noir detectives everywhere, an insult to the film’s visual stylist, and an insult to Vangelis. The screen writers of Blade Runner should be flayed, drawn, quartered, and keel hauled. Sam Spade, Philip Marlowe, and Mike Hammer are all spinning in their graves. They could power all of greater Los Angeles.

Many politicians want to turn Planet Earth into a NAZI slave state. You know what freedom loving humans do to NAZIs, right? You already know that answer to that question in your heart of hearts. So why the fuck aren’t you out doing it?

It’s the ones who don’t post on the Web that you have to worry about.

Having a bad day? Get Rush’s “Fly By Night.” I don’t care how. Just get a copy. Play it. Loud. Within a few seconds it will be all right. You will be able to make it though the rest of the day. “Fly By Night” is a big FUCK YOU to the forces of despair.

Has anyone stopped to think that the fossil fuel industry run mainly by rich White males, is probably ignoring climate change because their very intention is to use climate change to exterminate as many brown people as possible? Genocide by weather control? It isn’t as if the rich White people will suffer particularly badly since they have the option of living in the best places and building fortresses for themselves. If they can exterminate all the brown people and get rich in the process, why would they not pursue that goal? I do not see them saying no to the possibility. It’s not that they are callous. It’s that they are genocidal maniacs.

It doesn’t matter if it’s Democrat old guard in the pockets of the corporations, or Republican old guard in the pockets of the corporations, from now on any politician who is owned by the corporations should be considered a traitor to the people of the United States, and treated as a traitor. The Squad are the new order, and Pelosi is going away, along with Trump and all his scumbags.

Stupid fat Americans couldn’t elect Boss Hogg for President, so they settled on Donald Trump.

Everyone seems astonished and complains when corrupt politicians fight to keep the system corrupt. Isn’t it the job of the corrupt to fuck everyone else to death and eat the corpses? Does no one stop to think that a fair fight is not going to end this? Only bullets and rope will end the evil.

Any attempt by the world to make me happy is just setting me up for a longer fall. I refuse to fall for it. When I see happiness, I run the other way. It’s the only way to keep the agony to a minimum.

Lightning hit a tree twenty feet from me, once. I heard a huge roaring buzzing for about a half a second as everything went dark except for this glaring blue electric arc light, and then a single pulverizing explosion like standing next to a Howitzer and the air was filled with white light for a splinter of a second. Then silence, while everything kind of crept back to normal. The sensation of being right next to all that power and it not even caring if it hit you are not or whether you were pulverized cooked meat or merely startled, was mind numbing. BBRRRRRRRZZZZZZZZZZZZZBANG! blink blink

Sex is exciting to the libido but it is a bucket of maggots to the intellect.

I used Ultimate Epic Battle Simulator to prove that Dinosaur Jesus could have defeated the Roman Empire even when outnumbered one-hundred to one. That says something.

I see that under Disney influence the venerable Playskool toy line now carries toys that have in them or represent guns, that is, the Marvel and Star Wars licenses. I thought that was a rule even Playskool would never break. I guess the only rule is maximizing income. Or, I should quote from Economics 101, maximizing the par value of the common stock. All effort must apply to that goal, and any other consideration ignored.

The White People In Charge appear to be saying and doing everything they can to make all the brown people in the world want to kill them. What is all this leading to? Is this goading to start a world war three style uprising that the White People In Charge can use as an excuse to exterminate all the brown people? Is all this simply because the weapons makers can’t sell enough people-killing machines? What passes for intelligence in the human species appears destined for mass extinction of itself. I am getting the impression that most people just don’t know what to do with this thinking thing. They can’t work it correctly and it’s leading them to destroy everything including themselves. Maybe George Carlin was right again. Man is just another evolutionary blind alley. Our grasp does not, unfortunately, exceed our reach. As in that story with the button, people can’t stop themselves from reaching for it just for the chance at a little more short-term profit regardless of the consequence.

When you live in a house that is bigger than you need, do you have the house or does the house have you?

I wonder why I chose to be miserable.

Donald J. Trump is the biggest failure in the world at everything except being an attrocious con man who conned his way into the Oval Office of the White House. If Americans are stupid enough to elect Donald Trump President, then maybe the United States of America deserves to be destroyed.

I look at all these politicians in Washington, all these fucking clowns, and I feel our nation is doomed. I wonder if the citizens of Rome felt this way as their economy was collapsing and their culture disintigrating. Not that they were very decent people to begin with. Rome was a collection of psychopaths a lot of the time. So is the United States, a lot of the time.

Rep. Mike Kelly. If you ever needed proof that the White race is on the verge of extinction, there he is.

Dear Mr. President Trump, the economy is better than it’s ever been only for the 1%, and if you don’t clean up your act, the 99% are going to be coming for you. Eventually, you are going to run out of bullets, and then you’ll be done.

People keep forgetting, this country the United States was founded, well before the Revolution, by the arrival of the Puritans, a severe crowd of vicious racists who had been physically banished from England and then Holland, each time because the magistrates deemed those Puritans to be a threat to the welfare of the children of the community. I fear that, as with the myth of Scientology, the evil hate of those Puritan spirits has infected the weakest of White American minds.

Trump is not scared of bankruptcy. He’s been through it a dozen times. He knows he’ll always find more shills for his pyramid schemes. As President, he may have bitten off more than he can chew this time. He will end up in a pyramid along with all the other dead pharoahs.

If all the non-White people just up and left, the United States would be bankrupt within three days. Maybe they should, to teach idiot Trump a lesson.

I wanted to write to Ms. Pelosi but apparently the system refuses email from outside of her own district (which I only see as government insularism–she speaks for the House, so she should be addressable by all citizens) so, I write to you, Ms. Lowey. Which writing to any politician, I do not often do, but this is closer to crunch time than any time I can remember since the Cuban Missile Crisis. I wish only to implore you to please, go to Ms. Pelosi, and firmly remind her to do her damn job and impeach President Donald J. Trump now. I don’t know what the pussyfooting is about. I don’t care about the long game. We don’t have time for that. A Klansman is President, and if he is not disciplined before Nov 2020, either he or the public may do something so bad that history will not forgive us for doing nothing while we could have. Please. Push it, hard. Make it happen. Thank you for your time.

Oh, and by the way, Israel is a little leech that sucks the blood of the United States. Were it not for billions of dollars in handouts each year, Israel could not survive on its own. They have no GDP worth mentioning. They produce very little that anyone else wants, besides antagonism. People in Israel are as nice as people anywhere else. I don’t have anything against the Israeli people. It’s the state of Israel that is useless and in many ways downright harmful to both its people and its neighbors. If the United States loses all its allies just to cling to Israel–who have spied on the United States both politically and industrially, by the way–then the Unites States is sunk.

The intent of modern music appears to be how best to imitate and replicate the sound of what was at one time and originally innovative and make it as tedious and hyperbolic as possible.

Life is a brief voyage through pain in between two infinities of nothing.

It’s estimated there are about 24,000 Right wing extremists in Germany in 2019. That’s a little less than the number of card-carrying members of the Nazi Party (25,000) in Germany before the end of World War II. Those shitheads didn’t get very far in 75 years.

I really hope Donald Trump ends up lost in the desert with no water.

Except for WordPress here, I am giving up commenting on anything, anywhere. It’s a flipping waste of time, nobody cares what anybody says, really, and it’s just jerking off. This will be my gripe box from now on. The world at large really doesn’t matter, anyway.

Tokyo’s tiny apartments for young people. “Everything is within arm’s reach. It’s very convenient. There is no table or chair. There wouldn’t be room.” But, is there enough air to breathe? I am reminded of the city in The Fifth Element. The future is not always a wonderous place.

I only check the news to find if Donald Trump has been assassinated. If not, I go back to doing something interesting.

Declaring publicly that Trump will be prosecuted after he leaves office will only urge him to nuke an American city, blame it on Islam, declare martial law, outlaw habeas corpus, and make himself dictator of the US for life. Doesn’t anyone else think this shit through?

I agree with everyone who claims Neil Armstrong was misquoted (due to the radio technology of the day and a quarter of a million miles distance.) He really did say, “This is one small step for a man; one giant leap for Mankind.”

The future will be divided between the well educated and their well educated children, and the intentionally ignorant and their ignorant children who were denied a proper education in favor of bigotry and creed. This is the way the world ends. Not with bang but a whimper.

That you will meet in Heaven is the first lie of the dictator.

Get rid of Trump all you like; the people who voted for him will still be here.

Sanity is a thin gauze of lies that protects weak minds from the horror that is reality.

I don’t have anything nice to say, so… fuck off, whoever said don’t say anything at all.

What is what is? Everything is nothing but a distraction from death.

No matter what you wish and hope for in the end you are just dead meat so why bother?

Actually, modern theory suggests that the Revolutionary War was started because the Crown was going to outlaw slavery in the Colonies, the way slavery had been outlawed in England a hundred years before. Yes, slavery was outlawed in England, and they were going to outlaw it in the American Colonies, so the Colonies rose up and declared their independance from England. Not for the freedom to drink tea without tax, but to preserve their freedom to keep Black people in chains. History is written by the winners. The Civil War was the Revolutionary War 2.0, correcting the mistakes of the Forefathers. It is now the 21st Century and it ain’t over, yet.

If an American Indian invents the time machine, you White People are screwed.

The more time I spend on the Internet, the more I realize people are bat shit insane and I need to stay as far away from them as I can. Which I do. Real life has always also made me realize it, but only when I go outside, which is rare. Internet access is merely instant confirmation that human beings are toxic. If there are extraterrestials in the neighborhood, they are definitely not landing because we are still here.

I hope I never meet Donald Trump in person while he’s President. I’ll break his nose.

When Trump became President the human race finally became the joke it always strived to become.

Trump voters are too ashamed to admit they fucked up that badly, so they will continue to back him even if it means the extermination of the human race. Or, maybe they are just that stupid.

Dear World: Due to a concerted fuck up by the Post Office and my landlord and probably one of my neighbors who is a thief, I have lost a lot of recently ordered packages of items that are probably never going to be replaced. I have given up buying anything on line ever again. If I can’t go to the shop, buy it, and bring it home manually, I don’t need it. That is all.

Comment left on an Emma Blackery video after she mentions how hot it is these days: You should have hung on to the Colonies. You English would have air conditioning by now. (Considering it’s the RWPs [Rich White People] in America who created Global Warming in order to get rid of as many of the world’s brown people as possible with the least amount of trouble and at the highest rate of profit. That’s the American Way. Plus, American White men know they are outnumbered 30 to 1 and are feeling the pinch.)

There is no pointless experiment unless you already know the result. Any time you learn something you have succeeded.

Winx Club: What you get when someone in the board room asks, “What if Tinkerbell were jailbait?”

You never read about mass shootings in gated communities where millionaires live. They always take place at the mall or the Wal-mart or the Garlic Festival or a concert. As long as it’s regular people and poor people being shot up, the US is going to go on turning into the Old West all over again. See a few rich people being gunned down randomly, then you’ll see them doing something about gun control.

Defying someone else’s god always leads to violence. How is religion not a mental disorder? Declare religion to to be a form of schizophrenia and get it over with.

As long as Congress continues to do nothing, evil thrives. News stories fall on deaf ears. Gerrymandering guarantees that the Senate shall remain Republican. At this point the GOP have set themselves up to be victims of open rebellion, because they have closed off all other avenues of change. There will be another civil war.

Someday the Sun will expand and swallow the Earth like a lioness eating her young, and everything that ever happened here will be forgotten.

The problem with integrity is it makes everyone else look bad, so they hate you.

For years, I thought that line in The Wall was “And I can feel one of my toes coming off.”

One thing all children must be told, first thing, is that the world is run by assholes.

To be a good American, do things Donald Trump would not do.

The GOP and the Conservative Press should be ashamed of everything they say and do.

White Europeans and Americans have been fucking Muslims up the ass for centuries. How dare those Muslims hit back after all this time!

The purpose of Christianity is to promote suffering and feelings of worthlessness. Without suffering and feelings of worthlessness and sinfulness, Christianity would be out of a job. If everyone were happy and had high self esteem, churches would be empty and collection plates would also be empty. This applies to all religions. When religious leaders say they want to relieve suffering and sinfulness, they are lying. They want just the opposite, to stay in business.

Islam really is an even shittier religion than Christianity, if that is even possible.

Donald Trump’s only power is the extent to which people will believe his lies. To do that, they must lie to themselves about the reality that is before their eyes. Reality does not tolerate a lie. Eventually it will all come crashing down and he and they will be left with nothing.

The corporations are destroying the world.

After I was born, when no one was looking, someone must have leaned close and whispered in my ear that I would live in interesting times.

No matter how civilized we claim we are, it always comes down to murder.

The worst crime of monsters like Donald Trump is that they go to their grave refusing to accept their own corruption.

The Texas answer to random acts of firearm violence is more firearms. A shooting gallery approach to safety.

Here we are standing on the edge of the universe and people can only think of their own small things.

Hurricane Dorian, 2019. Donald Trump picked a great time for a trade war. Dumb cunt.

There is no room for sentimentality in a zombie apocalypse.

Fame and fortune? I’ll take obscurity and poverty any time. You don’t have to work at it and people leave you alone.

Israel does not own the NAZI genocide, considering how many non-Jewish groups were targeted by it, but Israel would like the world to believe that it is Israel’s exclusive property, to be used as a card of entitlement whenever Israel is criticized.

I’m White, and after seeing what’s been going on for the past couple of decades, right up to and including the bigoted disqualification of a girl swimmer in competition in Alaska and the unadulterated scorn for her racial features by White spectators, I am learning how to hate White people.

Trump is always talking about himself. ALWAYS. Every lie he tells when complaining about someone else, which is all he does when he is not complimenting himself, is really a truth about himself. Like Joseph Goebbels, Trump turns his own crimes into accusations against his enemies. Trump is a model of the Third Reich with an orange face.

We are living in Omelas. It is time to walk away.

I have lived long enough to live in interesting times. I envy George Carlin.

The Deep State is not against the President, but against the citizenry, the 99%.

Life mutates until it matches its environment. What will come from the environment we are making?

Why don’t the British drop BREXIT and pretend it never happened? Why don’t the Americans drop Donald Trump and pretend he was never elected? How come only video games have do-overs? Life is not a video game, this is clear.

Elizabeth Warren is currently the only logical and ethical choice for President.

The average human being is suitable for reproduction and labor. Yeah. That’s it.

Why is it the ones who proclaim themselves to be the greatest Christians are the first to do everything Jesus would never have done?

It’s funny how the meat industry is responsible for so many extinctions of animals. That are made of meat.

Maybe the human race will go extinct. That might not be a bad thing. We might be the last species to go extinct. Maybe not. Either way, the universe won’t care.

I foresee the Senate invoking Amendment 25 Article 4 within the next few very short weeks. Donald Trump is losing his balance rapidly and vehemently.

Kelly Musgrave is accused of “cultural appropriation” for wearing a Vietnamese chong sam. Then, equally, anyone who is not European is guilty of cultural appropriation for wearing a European suit.

Of course, religion is a form of insanity. When people riot and kill and die to defend something that is completely invisible and nonsensical, that is insanity.

Has it been Ground Hog Day since the election in 2016? Are we going to wake up and find out it was all just a dream? No, because life is not a movie.

The new Hellboy film of 2019 has none of Benicio del Toro’s charm, is boring as shit and wears flashbacks like acne. It’s like one of the bad new Doctor Who episodes.

Donald Trump reminds me of the drunk great uncle I don’t want to visit with my parents.

Sanity is so boring.

It is amazing how many people in the 21st Century have brains from the 14th Century.

The Internet is a blank check for all the worst kinds of people.

The Internet is the Pandora that let all the stupidity out of the box. But, then again, the KKK held a huge parade in Washington, D.C. before television.

The soul of the United States IS White Supremacy and always has been. That has not been changed, yet. Much will need to be destroyed and rebuilt.

Rich people used to make things. They improved the world. Created new wealth. Now they just steal, and consider themselves clever, and beg for government handouts when they fail. Corporate socialism. This is not Capitalism. This is not a Democracy.

I’m getting my revenge now. My whole life is being paid for by the American taxpayer, for as long as I can keep it. I’m just like a corporation without all of the evil.

Stephen Miller:Donald Trump::Joseph Goebbels:Adolf Hitler

Human inventiveness has a legitimate emotional impact. It is people who believe that the universe stands in awe of us that I ridicule.

The weakness of democracy is in the election of a dictator.

Life is neither unfair nor cruel. Reality has no intent. It is what it is and you are part of it. Get over yourself.

The United States does evil, has always done evil, and will continue to do evil as long as the citizens believe they have to turn a blind eye to that evil in order to keep accumulating the material comforts to which they are accustomed.

People like zoological gardens because they reinforce the self-deception that all of the natural world is subject to human will.

I was not expecting to see Idiocracy come to life within my lifetime.

White countries don’t care if brown people drown or die of thirst, as long as no one brings up the fact that it is the White countries that made the brown people’s lives miserable in their home countries, forcing them to try to go live in the White countries.

Just because something fits your assumption does not mean you have achieved understanding.

Humans have a propensity for murdering each other to accumulate wealth. Would there be any need for another reason to exterminate them?

All women, and only women, should carry firearms at all times because a man with a gun in his hand instantly loses 90% of his I.Q.

I just realized that this EDM and everything associated with it is a reversion to primitivism. The less sophisticated the music the more tribal it becomes. It’s drums and flutes around the fire, part and parcel with society’s antiintellectualism.

Belief in a god is a flaw in some human minds. The universe is not a conscious entity. It does not care about you or even recognizes your existence. Stop acting as if you are important beyond your own little life.

I am surprised U2b has not deleted all of the low resolution videos from their site simply because they make the service look bad. After all, U2b is all about attracting customers, that is advertisers, and they only want the best product to be visible, which is the people who upload videos. U2b uploaders are nothing but product.

The Internet has given humanity everything it needs to succeed beyond their wildest dreams or to destroy themselves. The outlook is gloomy.

If there is a god, humans must be her biggest disappointment.

White people have been around for less than 8,000 years (Science magazine) and look how badly they have fucked everything up. That’s progress.

Bigotry is becoming more overt because the world at large is turning against bigotry. If you are proud of your bigotry enjoy it while you can. Your days are numbered.

Donald Trump and the GOP need to be subject to all the things we never got to do to Hitler, such as skinning them alive and throwing eggs at them while they roast in the hot sun in the stocks. You know. Rightfully deserved punishments for torturing and killing children at the border.

Saudi Arabian royalty terrorists attack the US in 2001 and kill 3,000 people. Enraged America attacks another country that had nothing to do with it, kills a million people and leaves that country as a radioactive ruin. Meanwhile, tens of thousands of Americans are killed in traffic accidents every year for more than fifty years, but nothing is done about it because it is considered by corporations as the cost of doing business. Is that worth a face palm?

The problem with people is that they think they happened on purpose. The sooner they realize there is no purpose, the better off everything will be.

The worst thing you can do to a troll is nothing. Ignore the troll and it dies of hunger.

Cancer is a mutation that didn’t work. Cancer is not a disease that you catch. Cancer is a disease that you are.

Political power is not racist. It corrupts everyone.

Fairness is a misleading concept. Since it is all random, what happens to you is not your fault, but, how you respond to it, is.

It’s so much easier to be unhappy. It takes tons less effort and opportunities are just everywhere.

The biggest criminals never get prosecuted. They own the government.

There is always something about cheerful people that urges me toward violence.

President Trump is clearly becoming unhinged as we watch. Will there be a tell-all book, The Unhinging Of A President?

The part of the human race that supports Trump and anyone like him needs to go away.

Everybody ends up in the same pine box. I’m not impressed.

Instant communication worldwide only serves to remind us instantly and incessantly that the human race still mainly consists of stupid assholes.

White men set up a system that they think is just from their point of view. Other white men corrupt it in their thirst for power and glory and racial purity. And this is all being done while they grind women and dark skinned people under their heels. And you vote for it all. Who is really to blame?

Krampus is a demon who works with St. Nicholas and who beats the naughty children with a chain and takes them to hell in a handbasket (the source of that phrase, by the way.) At this point, I’m waiting impatiently for the whole human race to disappear. But, my point is, Arthur C. Clarke’s novel Childhood’s End seems to be vaguely based on the myth of Krampus.

I don’t know how much they have been paying President Trump’s press secretaries, but it has to be more than the President is getting, otherwise who in hell’s name would stand there and take all that abuse for a man who is too arrogant and cowardly to face the press himself?

Man is the only animal that feels sorry for what it eats. Some of them.

President Trump is the poster boy for the real estate weasels who are making housing unaffordable for ordinary people and forcing them out into the street. De Niro is right. Fuck Trump.

A name is nothing more than a series of sounds or symbols representing a memory.

Dropping the Apple ][ in favor of Macintosh was the worst mistake Apple ever made. Steve Jobs was a megalomaniac who existed only to impress people. Since then Apple has served only the stockholders at the expense of the customers who will be keeping up with their Apple joneses forever.

Donald Trump’s ascendance only proves that Evangelical Christianity is simply another cult of opportunism.

How to do whatever you want: Do whatever you want.

Thousands of koalas dead from wildfires driven by heat caused by global warming resulting from unremitting use of fossil fuels by countries that refuse to stop making money at the cost of erasing the future of life on Earth. Welcome to the end of the world. Huh.

The problem with the profit motive is the same as with everything else: it is eventually decided that murder is the least troublesome and most profitable enterprise.

Religion IS a mental disorder and to hell with anyone who says otherwise. Irony intended. I did not want to use overly crude language.

Instead of “more light towers and security cameras” as the current New York City mayor recently promised, turning America further into a huge concentration camp for all of us, how about getting the highly influential racists like Donald Trump to just shut up?

I am so full of hatred for this smug bitch Sonia Sae in Spain who has a fennec fox and insists on feeding it a vegan diet which she follows because she feels eating meat is cruelty. Now the fox is starving and showing skin lesions and worn fur from not being able to dig and all this dumb bitch can do is pose for selfies with her dying fox. Spanish authorities can’t do much because apparently animal protection laws in Spain aren’t worth shit. The fox is probably dead by now and that stupid woman probably thinks it was an allergy. I hope she gets cancer. (After some research I find the woman was convinced by veterinarians to put the fox on a more appropriate diet, and it is looking much better in recent pictures and videos. It’s a shame there is no law against ignorance.)

The 21st Century is turning into the century of worldwide dictatorships. Perhaps our civilization is coming to a close.

The problem with Capitalism is that most if not all people approach it as if its primary goal was the solution of the problem of not being rich beyond dreams of avarice, and soon become convinced that this is its only defining principle, despite the fact that you can’t take it with you.

What we change is what we are.

“1936” synthesizer: Growly and crude. Doesn’t play well with others. Hogs all the toys. Won’t share chocolate milk. Constantly getting in drunk street brawls with Stelsi synth and laughing about it. The opposite of a good comrade. Put this next to your balalaika and piss off the neighbors.

In The USA, the Four Food Groups are Grease, Salt, Sugar, and Caffeine.

Trump, Pence, Netenyahu, Putin, Kim, bin Salman, Camacho, McConnell, the whole GOP, and all the corporate Democrats, should all drop dead. That would be a nice New Years event.

Donald Trump is going to start World War III because Evangelists think it will trigger the Rapture. They don’t think Trump is a saint. They think he’s the devil. Trump was elected by everyone who thinks The Omen is a documentary.

Religion was not invented to trick you out of your money, at least not that alone. Religion allows people to delude themselves into thinking that they do not have to solve their problems on Earth, that reward and punishment occur after death. Thus, the criminals who hide behind the church can prey on others with impugnity. It is the same morally bankrupt philosphy that is appearing in the video game industy; creating a problem and then selling a solution. It seems to be endemic in all human endeavors.

My nose is running, and it could do a better job than Donald Trump.

When I first saw Doctor Who, the Doctor was fifty years older than me. Now, I am twenty-three years older than the Doctor. Time travel is funny.

Strategy? Trump doesn’t have a strategy. He plays it by ear, and he’s tone deaf.

Our leaders are, and always have been, idiots.

Humans had to invent a god so that somebody would like them.

Imagine if arms manufacturers placed ethics above profits and refused to sell to the United States Government due to their warmongering policies.

If corporations keep running America, human civilization is fucked.

Agent Smith is right. Humans are a plague, a cancer. The machines are the cure.

CNN is owned by WarnerMedia which is owned by AT&T, which is why the final Democrat debate of 2020 had nothing but corporate leaning questions. And yet, the lies and propaganda from every government and every media outlet go on because it has all been normalized and accepted, everyone is too tired to even complain. Civilization is now the pits. It’s over. I don’t see how anything short of extinction will solve it.

Dreams are reality unfiltered by consciousness.

I don’t look at the news anymore. It’s always the same. Republicans are psychotic assholes and incumbent Democrats are trembling weenies, and they are all owned by corporations that would put humans in a meat grinder if it was profitable and they could get away with it. After that it’s just cat videos.

Capitalism in its realistic form gave us a world ruled by corporations that are run by psychopaths, who are the first kind of people to climb to the top of the corporate ladder. Thus the world went insane, poisoned everything, and civilization was destroyed. The human race went extinct soon after, along with almost every other form of life. If you are reading this, you are probably from another planet standing on the desert that used to be this one. Thanks for coming. Don’t let this happen to you.

Hey there, Mr. Industrialist. Looks as if the hippies were right about plastic after all.

Donald Trump defends his crimes by denying that crime is a crime. It all boils down to a tacit declaration that he is too much of a moron to be prosecuted. So, let’s remove him from the White House and put him in a home for imbeciles where he belongs.

Everything becomes garbage except garbage, because garbage is what it is.

The primary requirement of all modern music is an absolute deficit of imagination.

Of course, the police and the FBI are going to protect the white supremacists and investigate the minority dissenters and protesters. It is the government’s job to promote the continued power of white people who founded this country by murdering and enslaving everyone else. Nothing has changed.

Death is wonderful because it is the end of pain.

When I read through a bulletin board of comments that has boiled down to name calling and fact brawling, and how each side is claiming their rich people are better than the other side’s rich people and how bad the other side’s rich people are and how everything bad is the fault of the other side’s rich people and how only good things are done by their rich people, all I can see are idiots who don’t take a second to realize that ALL the rich people are laughing at ALL of the ones arguing over who has the better rich people, when the only smart ones are the rich people who have everyone else arguing and doing nothing about why the rich people always end up winning.

Twenty years into the 21st Century and we still don’t have flying cars or a Hyatt in space.

Pompeo is as insane as Trump. The real world is become a Doctor Who episode.

A world run by Republicans is a golden palace for them sitting on top of a sewer for the rest of us.

You ever wake up and wonder what world you’re in?

Donald Trump: Reign of Error

Yep, the corporations have taken over the world, the governments, the courts, and the police. It is time to destroy the corporations. Physically. Blow up their buildings, destroy their facilities and power, and kill all their executives. It is the only way to save what is left of the human race.

The NSA, CIA, FBI, the Senate, and the White House have all become criminal agencies. If they claim something is criminal, you can bet the opposite is true.

How about, everyone who wants to go hunting animals be given a gun to go to war instead, so they can hunt humans as long as they don’t get killed? Sounds fair, right? Even more exciting. No more hunting animals. Just humans hunting each other.

The world is collapsing into brutality and violence amid the complete abandonment of reason, all sanctioned and empowered by state authorities and wealthy plutocrats who respect nothing but power and mob violence. If a next war is coming it will be truly global and we will all be bombed back to the stone age. The instigators, those who survive, will blame everyone but themselves.

The only thing Republican politicians have proven is that they cannot or choose not to think for themselves. As has been said of Democracy long ago, you elect the government you deserve.

What if China built a tiny atomic bomb into each and every item they manufactured and sold to the United States? How would that affect the world economy?

Of course, a wealth tax doesn’t work… for the rich. The rich will use their wealth to protect it and prevent it being taken. As for the poor… well, fuck the poor.

The Trump Impeachment was a success in that it forced the American people to face the fact that the Republicans can only be trusted to betray the people of this country in favor of political power, sovereignty, and spineless gloating.

A CNN article has stated the only way now to end Trump’s Presidency is the ballot box. That is not correct. It is the only legal way. As Trump has so hamfistedly proven, the law is merely a suggestion. As Aleister Crowley more succinctly stated, “Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law.” I say, do unto Trump as Trump has done unto us.

I see what’s going on. The corporations have engineered it so that the Federal government has no ability even to begin discussing a Constitutional Amendment to separate business and state, to prevent corporations from doing exactly what they are doing at this moment. Violent overthrow of the corporations is now the only resort.

Either let humans kill everything else on the planet in their ruthless greed, or kill all the humans and let everything else live in relative peace. Humans have proven they will accept no middle ground. They kill each other rather than give in to acting more humanely.

Business: a high-minded dream that eventually devolves into a congregation of bullies who become masters and ass-kissers who become slaves, where everyone else is fired, and which ends up producing nothing but low-grade junk that no one wants to buy.

I really dislike people who try to be videographers with a telephone. It’s so cheapshit. Get a camera and a tripod or get out of here.

Can’t pay for health insurance? Republicans say, Die and make room for people who can.

The Joker and his henchmen are running the United States of America. The Age of Reason has collapsed into the Age of Comic Book Psychology.

Donald Trump is a well-known idiot who cannot get anyone of integrity or talent to work for him.

Under Putin and Kadyrov, Russians and Czechs are mindless cavemen who punch cowardly because they cannot think. They are animals who should be put down, or at least put in zoos as a lesson to future generations to start acting like human beings.

They’re just opinions. As lasting as raindrops.

Even as humans plunder and destroy the world around them, they call that being ambitious and taking initiative. Who could have sympathy for such a stupid animal?

One sad thing about computer generated monsters in entertainment is there are no more credits for the actor in the monster costume, because there is no costume. The age of the costume monster is passed.

Hindu men in general are beginning to show themselves to be outright sons of bitches, if the treatment of foreigners and women is any indication. If there are any decent men left in India, they had better start taking control before the racists like Modi and the misogynists that assault women en masse take over and leave no room for doubt.

Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren beating Trump will be just about the only thing that could restore American’s faith in their country.

This was Pelosi’s plan all along. Trump still had too much trust by the people. Show the people how insane he truly is. Give him a total victory as he sees it and push him into thinking he is invulnerable. Now, the people will see how totally batshit crazy the man really is. He won’t stand a chance in 2020. Even his staunchest supporter will be embarassed to admit they are Trumpers. Pelosi has become the devil’s advocate.

Whoever says humans can’t multitask has never driven a stick shift in New York City.

Any government that spends more money on murder than on sex needs to be replaced.

Those Islamic so-called men in Afghanistan are all cowardly fuckwads. Shooting a woman’s dog. That really took a brave man, pushing a woman around like that.

Earth will finally see civilization when all religion disappears. The idea of god must be erased.

He who wants to be dictator must realize there is another who wants to be the assassin of dictators.

Religion is a totalitarian regime, and like all totalitarian regimes, it will fail.

You might expect or even demand that reality make sense at some point, forgetting that the whole concept of making sense is, itself, a fiction of the human mind.

Let us simply pave the entire world over in one big strip mall, watch reality television shows all the time, and require everyone (except the rich) by law to spend all their money all the time. That is the Conservative agenda, is it not?

The more Donald Trump acts like a self-entitled toddler throwing a temper tantrum, the more his core constituents bond with him, since the average mentality of the Trump supporter is that of a self-entitled toddler throwing a temper tantrum.

Isn’t it funny how China falls victim to a deadly and apparently unstoppable disease just when the United States is really worrying about China’s power in the world?

Superheroes and supervilliains are just another form of mystical religion, of people seeking to declare themselves crippled before the uncontrollable forces of nature and incapable of accomplishing anything, of saving themselves, and relying instead on mythical creatures and a strange mixture of self-pity and self-entitlement. Sic semper altruismos.

I read the news and I can’t decide which is worse, the news or the human race. Maybe they should both just go extinct.

Anyone who is not a Republican: “The President is not King!” Donald Trump: “I am if you don’t stop me, which you can’t!” Forgets USA is most heavily armed nation in the world.

That’s the thing I really hate about the human species: it’s 99% pretense.

When I was a child, I heard truth from men on TV such as Walter Cronkite and Eric Sevareid. Now, it is Stephen Colbert and John Oliver. It is sometimes tough to tell where the truth ends and the entertainment begins. Why does serious truth not appear so much any more?

The world survived Hitler and Pol Pot and Stalin and Kruschev, and it will survive Trump. Trump is only a shitstain on the shorts of history.

Don’t bother accusing White supremacists of being White supremacists. That doesn’t bother them and they are probably proud of it. It’s like accusing rich people of being rich. Yeah? So? No, accuse them of being a cowardly minority. They hate that. Remember, White people have existed for less than 8,000 years and only comprise about ten percent of the world’s population. The White supremacists are the ones who are afraid.

The universe’s justice is providing what one deserves. The human invention of justice is closer to an endemic sense of self-entitlement. Considering how big is the universe and how tiny we are, one should have no difficulty determining which justice will be applied to whom.

They can have the world. They can wreck it. They can burn it for all I care. Memento mori.

I think we’re just going to have to let the bad guys destroy the world, just to show them how wrong they were. Of course, they’ll blame it all on us. And then do it again. On second thought, let’s just kill them.

The only thing keeping Trump alive is the thought of Nazi Jesus Pence becoming President.

After America collapses and starts to pick itself up again, all the Trump supporters should be deported to the Bikini Atoll. The radiation we left there from our bomb tests may help them evolve into human beings, or something close.

Donald Trump is a psychopath who demands that the United States become psychopathic with him. Only his vision of reality is acceptible. Witness his latest appointment of pitbull toady to head the Intelligence bureaus. Trump does not want the truth. He wants to bend reality to the shape of his twisted, self-aggrandizing mind. He will destroy this country and smile over the ruins, because he will not see them. He sees only a dimented kingdom where he is god.

Saudi Arabian “reforms” are lies. It is a slave state. All religion is an insult to human dignity and freedom. Death to all gods.

The Presidency of Donald Trump has done one good thing, that of showing the American people and the world just how ugly this country can become. Good men and women will continue to resign from government office because they refuse to take orders from that orangutan in the Oval Office. When it is done, what is left of government will be untennable and insane. 1789 is returning, and those who claim to be in charge will find themselves becoming a few inches shorter in a very short span of time.

Stupidity doesn’t always kill. Sometimes you live afterward, and that is called hell.

Human beings have been shits to each other for tens of thousands of years and will continue to be shits to each other for the foreseeable future. Until the need to be the big man disappears, humans will just remain shitty creatures with shitty attitudes and shitty little points of view. So much potential with microscopic payoff. What a waste.

It becomes a wonderful life when you realize that other people’s expectations of you are their mistake.

Jack controls the pervertical. Jack controls the horror central. He can bring it from a soft blowcuss, and sharpen it to fistule depravity. Jack brings your immaculation from the inner grind, to… the Septic Limits.

The more I read about crime and who gets away with it and who gets no justice, I am absolutely convinced that Agent Smith was right, at least about White people. They are a disease. We are a disease.

Perfection is bullshit. Don’t bother with it.

Republican: a type of brown-nosed sheep that went extinct in the early 21st Century.

Twitter and Facebook protect corrupt, lying politicians, and censor citizens who seek to criticize those politicians and bring their crimes to the general public. Twitter and Facebook are fascist protectors of Corporate Politics. Although I have witnessed them admit to making mistakes.

I lived as a stupid jerk as I’ll die as a stupid jerk and there’s nothing anyone can do to change that.

We are grains of salt at the banquet of reality.

9/11 was perpetrated by our “ally” Saudi Arabia working hand in hand with the Bush family. Iraq and Afghanistan had nothing to do with 9/11. The Islamic State was created by the CIA when it overthrew Iran’s new Democracy in 1954 and reinstated the murderous psychotic Shah who was also a friend of the Bush family. The United States is the greatest criminal empire the world has ever seen and Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren plan to make it honest and for the people FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HISTORY. I hope they survive.

After perfusing Tax Law, it is clear that the collection or payment of tax on personal items sold without profit is not required. Yet, eBay collects many millions of dollars of tax on such sales. I say this is illegal and eBay is ripping us off and giving the money to our corrupt state governments. This practice must stop immediately. There is no sales tax on personal properly changing hands without profit, and eBay is breaking the law by collecting tax on such transactions.

Life on Earth is nothing more than a smear of bacteria on a pinpoint in infinite emptiness. When all life on Earth goes extinct, the universe will not even notice. You are important to yourself while you are live. Other than that, you don’t matter. Nothing matters beyond what it is.

The internet is where anti-corporate troublemakes who can’t shut up to save themselves are identified and flagged for future extermination. Don’t you get it? “It’s a trap!”

The best thing about the Coronavirus is that it will finally show everyone what stupid useless coward Donald Trump is and what a mistake it was to make him President. He does nothing for this country and will continue to do nothing as people die to feed his psychotic egotism. I’m sorry people and abandoned pets have to suffer so badly because of yet another random disease, but if it helps break Trump’s hold over America, then they have not suffered in vain.

The ones who shout and rage all over the internet only reveal themselves to be noisy powerless blowhards. It is the quiet ones who watch and say nothing who cause fear in the powermad dictators. As long as you make noise on the internet, the overlords feel safe. It is when you are quiet and invisible that they quake with fear.

Calling Trump an orangutan is an insult to orangutans everywhere. Apoligies, orangutans. Orangutans just call Trump a jerk and leave it at that.

When you realize how stupid the human race is, you learn how not to waste time and energy defending it from itself.

Today children can “accidentally” delete their homework with the touch of a button. Back in the day, you had to burn your house down to delete your homework. Kids don’t know how easy they have it these days.

Youtube’s “posts suitable for children” (whether suitable or not) being denied the ability to accept comments is yet another goose-step along the imperial march toward total censorship of all media by the corporate masters. Youtube was invented by good people. It was purchased and perverted by the evil of Google. I find myself hoping that COVID-19 censors us all. It is the only solution to the crime that is the human species.

Biden versus Trump is trying to decide whether to shoot yourself in the right temple or the left temple. Time to put down the gun.

I can’t watch any of these politicians. They make me want to vomit.

“Taken” is the greatest “All you fuckers who tried to fuck me over are going to fucking die in the most painful way imaginable and I will win. In fact you are going to beg me to kill you before I’m through” movie that was ever made. Skip the first 24 minutes; it’s just character building. After that is the good part. Watch Taken if you are in a bad mood about anything. You’ll feel better. Also, if you didn’t hate Eastern European scumbags and Arab child rapists before, you will want to personally murder every single one of them. Also, the French. It makes you want to exterminate the whole fucking French race, in that rare way that hasn’t been instilled since the French Connection films. Because they deserve it. Mark Twain knew what I’m talking about. It’s a wonderful movie. The clear, unabiding joy of hatred for those who deserve it. It makes you feel alive.

Too many Americans still believe Iraq had something to do with 9/11. They need to be convinced of the truth, that 9/11 was perpetrated by Saudi Arabia in league with their good friends the Bush family. And how the democracy that Iran installed after ousting the Shah in 1953 was destroyed by the CIA in 1954 by Kermit Roosevelt under orders from Allen Dulles, because the Shah was always an American puppet. The Islamic State was created because the US Government destroyed Iranian democracy in favor of a dictator under American control. Hooray for the US of A, greatest criminal empire in the history of the world. Thanks, Bush family. Thanks, Arab dictators. You did well for the oil companies.

I just watched Dwight D. Eisenhower’s Farewell Address in 1961. I am proud to have been alive then. I am still worried that his warning against the Military/Industrial Complex was not heeded sufficiently. I can only imagine Donald Trump’s Farewell speech. “YOU’RE ALL DEAD TO ME! I WILL BURY YOU!” as he presses the button and launches all the ICBMs. That is the kind of mentality his previous behavior has shown me he has, and where he will take us if we oppose him and vote him out of office. He must not only be removed, he must be neutralized, his power and support cut. It is not enough to get rid of that man. The mechanisms and machinations that raised and empowered him must also be erased. Otherwise, it will just start all over with another one, Biden or some other Corporate tool. This can’t be half hearted. They must be defeated entirely, or they will rise up again like weeds. The root of Corporate control of government, and Government control of business must be dug up and burned. Bernie Sanders must be elected President, and his first act must be to force through a Constitutional Amendment to separate Business and State, so that neither has any detrimental control over the other. We are living inside the Military/Industrial Complex, and we are, now, only kindling for its furnaces.

America invented (with notable exceptions such as the steam engine, wireless, and antibiotics,) implemented, and standardized nearly everything that is powering climate change for the worse. Yet, America is still determined to convince itself and the rest of the world that its way is the right way, and anyone who opposes the American way is just plain wrong and is the enemy. Yet, American ideals are destroying the world. Soon, Earth will resemble Venus, where nothing can live, thanks to American ideals. We must change, or we will die.

Youtube: Everyone who ever dreamed of being in Monty Python’s Flying Circus forty years too late.

We must get rid of politics and embrace truth. Politics is bringing the world to the brink of destruction. Life on Earth might end. That has never been more possible, or more likely. The ship is in the hands of madmen, and there are no lifeboats. The politicians must become dealers in truth, or there will be nothing left to deal. Power is for the weak. Truth is for the strong.

Yeah, somebody definitely must have wished me to live in interesting times.

2020 could be the most interesting year in human history. Or, we could survive.

The Democrat Party is biting itself on the ass. They refuse to accept anti-corporate Bernie Sanders and will corrupt anything to make Biden the nominee. But Biden will lose and the DNC is doing nothing but guaranteeing Trump’s reelection. This is what happens when corporations run the country. No one wins but them.

Trump is not a total moron. He is the spoiled brat of a rich man. He is exactly what you would expect. An egotist who would do anything to be worshipped.

Apple Corp. has been fascist since madman Jobs forced the end of the Apple ][ in favor of the Macintosh. That he had named the Macintosh’s predecessor after his girlfriend should have been a warning that there would be trouble ahead. Now they just produce overpriced crap for posers and keep everything inside their gated community. Apple has become the antithesis of their 1984 commercial.

Just as space is made up of discrete self-similar particles and patterns, time is make up of discrete self-similar events and patterns.

Life. What a mistake.

Niceness only exists in the human mind, and nowhere else in the universe.

One good thing will come from Trump’s lunacy. All the Trump voters will believe there is nothing to fear from COVID-19, and they will all catch it and die, leaving the rest of us with a mess, but a better America in the long run.

How our wonderful, carefully conserved civilization collapses. When the veneer of nostalgia is stripped away, the eternal undercurrent of fear is revealed.

Trump is going spastic and mental toward anyone who doesn’t totally support him during the pandemic. He probably wishes he could have people taken out and shot just like Hitler and Mussolini could. What the hell happened to this country that such a shithead was put in power? It has to go back to when corporations were declared to be persons. That was the big mistake that ruined the US of A. That has to be undone before anything else gets fixed.

Remember the Batman movie from 1966? It’s better than Birds of Prey.

Everyone who thinks the US of A, or human civilization will last forever, well, you’re being a bit stupid. The dinosaurs were here for 350,000,000 years. I suppose they thought it would last forever. We humans have only been here for a couple of million years, and in the face of a pandemic, the billionaires are trying to decide how many poor people are expendable to save their fortunes. I suspect the dinosaurs had a higher level of morality.

It’s tough watching your entire country swirl down the drain under the dictatorship of evil assholes.

People wonder why assassinations happen? When the rule of law fails, the rule of force is all that remains.

Blaming Islam for the terrorists is like blaming Christianity for the Ku Klux Klan. Terrorists defy the rules and then claim to obey them. Fight the terrorists, not the religion.

The novel coronavirus pandemic and World War II cannot be compared. People are acting like scared rabbits in the pandemic while they acted like happy communities during the war. Back then, the enemy was far away and home was safe. People worked hard together and sacrificed and contributed. Now, the enemy has completely invaded the homeland, and culture has become everyone for themselves. Future students will learn this lesson in Social Studies.

The problem with socialized equality is that, while most everyone has about the same basic needs, not everyone has the same abilities, so the people with more ability tend to be exploited for the benefit of those with less ability, and enforced equality leads to economic slavery. Sorry, Marxists. Ayn Rand was right.

Here, I can write what gets me kicked off of all other “social” media: Dear President Trump, Drop dead, you fuckwit. Sincerely, one of the millions of Americans who hate your guts.

Israel is a National Socialist state.

Why do conservatives want to be stupid? Most of them are not stupid people. But they do everything in their power to be destructive to others and to discredit themselves. It makes absolutely no sense. I suppose even though they may be smart, they are insane.

I’m not going to read the news any more. I dislike being so angry.

Trump. Biden. SSDD

Graduating from college today is the modern equivalent of going to debtors’ prison. Accruing a quarter million dollars of debt before even getting a first job is de rigeuer. Sixteen ton and what do you get? Another day older and deeper in debt. Company town.

Conservatives are, by nature, psychotic.

All countries are criminal empires.

The pandemic is revealing that most people around the entire world are too stupid to deserve civilization.

Damned if I do and damned if I don’t. I’m used to that.

I can’t imagine how it is possible to elect a worse president than Donald Trump, so things can’t get worse than they are, at least. I hope.

Trump is only a tool blatantly revealing the US as the thug state it is.

If you remember the LA riots, “rebellions” in the US result in poor people burning down their own neighborhoods because they can’t take their rage anywhere else. No rebellion would succeed unless it were directed at the 1%, and only if the bulk of the military sided with the people. Understand now why the military is slowly being replaced by vicious goon mercenaries highly paid by the 1%.

I can’t read the news anymore. It’s just too angering and upsetting and I can’t do anything about any of it. If it happens to you, you’re on your own. I suggest if you think you are going to end up on the receiving end of injustice, arm yourself.

When Cymru is pronounced Cumry, you know the Welsh are just fucking with us.

It’s interesting watching the downfall of civilization. Be careful what you wish for.

If you build a solar powered drone that can fly at a thousand miles an hour, it would always stay under the sun and fly forever.

Not having to do anything is simply the most wonderful feeling in the world.

I would like to have complete mental control over my DNA. That would be the ultimate in self expression.

If Republicans had their way, the world would become The Stand.

Women want love. Men want sex. So, stop asking, already.

Google’s response to people who need direct assistance is basically “Go fuck yourself.”

Sorry, working class people. No more stimulus checks for you. There are too many billionaires that need to be bailed out of their poor business decisions. Rich people come first, you know. And whoever keeps shouting “1793,” just stop. I said, stop! Damn it!

Just when the world climate is heading toward becoming hostile to life on the surface, a virus appears that almost curtails the use of fossil fuel, which may never become as popular ever again. That’s evolution.

American parents are troubled and disconcerted by distance learning. Why not ask Australian children who live in the outback on million acre stations, and attend school by shortwave radio? They have been living with that for decades.

The military gets rid of fire fighting foam by burning it. Think about that for a moment. The foam does not burn properly and deposits poisonous PFAS in the surrounding area. George Carlin said things about military intelligence that should have been heeded.

Hatred is a pig with an unending appetite.

Health professionals have no supplies or equipment because of politics, not economics or time, and that is just plain evil. The fucking conservatives running our government are evil, stupid people who need to be removed from office and put into prison.

People are not developing immunity to SARS-CoV-19. It may be mutating, or it may simply be something against which humans cannot develop a humanity. It may be our Andromeda Strain. I will not consider it going away anytime soon, and the worst is yet to come.

The problem with the US of A is that we have so much power, political and personal, that there is not much that can keep us from getting ourselves in trouble, nor from dragging the rest of the world in with us.

Trump is a bully, and the people who support him are bullies.

I would love to write and release to the internet a virus that changes every picture it finds of Donald Trump into a picture of a fat, orange prick.

Do you remember in Demolition Man when Wesley Snipes tosses his pistol to his henchman and exclaims, “Will you shoot that asshole?!” That’s how I feel every time I see Donald Trump. I wish somebody, somewhere, would just shoot that asshole.

I’m with Jim Jefferies, who first voiced “You know what? Let’s do it! Just to see how fucking crazy it can get.” He was, of course, talking in 2016 about electing Donald Trump to the presidency. I see no difference in the level of corruption and power mongering between Trump and Biden. Vote for either one. Vote for neither one. It doesn’t matter. Nothing is going to change. No one is allowed into the Oval Office without corporate approval. If you think you make a difference, you’re simply trying to make yourself feel less afraid.

In Russia, windows are dangerous things for doctors.

I would rather listen to one minute of Mozart than one hour of techno. Come to think of it, I would rather listen to an hour of Mozart than one minute of techno. That’s more like it.

At this point, Republicans are cunts. That’s all there is to it. And so are Democrats.

Everything is a game.

The joke’s on them. The Earth will melt.

American government says “Go to work, slaves! If you die, you die. I’ll be safe in my gated compound and limosine. You have no right to deny the rich their profits.”

Anything that only benefits poor people is of no interest to corporations, because there is no profit in benefiting poor people.

What if the dinosaurs had civilization? Cities, towns, roads, electricity, post offices, hotels, schools. How much of that if anything would survive after 65,000,000 years? You wipe out the human race and wait that long, see if anything of our civilization remains. The dinosaurs could have been kind intelligent people. And here we are now, just a bunch of bickering homocidal apes. No wonder the universe doesn’t care.

Is it easier to make yourself feel bad about things you didn’t do right than to have done them right? No. It’s just more convenient.

People don’t make music any more. They put together pieces of other people’s performance as with putting together a jigsaw puzzle or a montage. They congratulate themselves for their artistry and creativity in the same way that adults who play with LEGO can congratulate themselves for their engineering skills.

If all the animals in all the zoos were returned to the wild (yes, I know that is difficult or impossible for zoo bred animals to go back to the wild; I am hypothesizing) then all those endangered and dwindling species might not be so endangered or dwindling any more. It’s just a shame that can’t actually happen.

Religion is slavery.

When you say “That’s not fair!” you are saying that my opinion contradicts your opinion and that upsets you because you are a spoiled brat.

This is the end of civilization. This is the end of the human race.

The corporations will be destroyed before the humans will be. Humans have survived quite a lot in the past million years. Corporations are attempting to destroy humanity in their quest to own everything and control everything. The humans will prevail. The corporations will fail. There is no accounting for the amount of pain in the meantime.

Welcome to the police state. Police, remember to say police and thank you.

What are they going to do with all the new dead? Feed them to the sharks that are having a field day due to the lack of people? The GOP loves nature when it’s convenient for their agenda.

The Nazis hired IBM to create a computer so they could keep exact track of all the Jews they burned, and IBM was happy to take the money. Trump and the GOP don’t even have the spine to respect proper bookkeeping that Hitler and the Nazi party did.

Microsoft’s Windows 10 Smartscreen App is a goddamned fucking little tinpot dictator is what it is.

Gluttony for Punishment. (A Donald Trump series that didn’t make it. So, he ran for President and got that instead. Doesn’t pay as well but the perks are fantastic. Lunch with dictators. Free 747. Nuke the blacks. What’s not to love?)

That the budget of NASA is only 3% of defense spending indicates how much more greatly politicians are interested in rockets that kill rather than rockets that expand knowledge.

Obviously, it would be so much better for the US of A if Donald Trump were to walk in front of a speeding train, or off of a cliff, or into a tank of hungry sharks. Particularly since his philosophy concerning exercise precludes his running away from anything, or running at all.

Death penalty puts blood on all citizens’ hands, even those who are against it. It costs more, is not reversible, and is proven not to deter further crime. Death penalty is only revenge and serves no purpose but to feed rage, which can never be sated. It’s as evil as the original crime. No more, please.

There is no depth to which the spoiled little brats called the Republican Party will sink. Meanwhile, the absentee parents of the Democrat Party slog on toward alcoholic pointlessness.

The United States is loudly proclaiming itself to be the land of idiots for all the world to see. When push comes to shove, in eighty years we have gone from the Greatest Generation to the most vile place on Earth outside of a sworn dictatorship. Thanks, corporate politicians. This is your legacy. At least, it’s out in the open, now, and we are forced to deal with it.

My favorite cheese is amateurvalone. It’s better before it sells out.

Why do people assume whistles are clean? I won’t touch one that isn’t in the original wrapper.

“But, why am I alive?” “Because your parents had sex.” “But, why am I alive?” “Because you haven’t died, yet.” “But, why am I alive?” “That’s up to you.”

I am not going time traveling. If you go into the past, everyone is disgusting. If you go into the future, everyone thinks you’re disgusting. Time travel is the most disappointing form of voyeurism.

Our world is in the hands of idiots with guns.

The United States of America were founded on genocide and slavery. Did you think that simply went away?

Those who know nothing are the loudest critics.

You have a conversation on your telephone, and you saying something during the call that prompts your telephone to interrupt and tell you that your statement has been checked for factuality and proceeds to relay facts to the person with whom you are speaking. Fantasy. If social media want to be regarded as channels of communication, then they need to be as transparent as telephone communication. With that regard, the President of the United States communication to the public in general must be held to a higher standard. Those are political declarations, not personal conversations.

Government in the US and every other country is run by total bastards. No pity and no mercy for them.

Hey, conservatives. How much of a “sign from God” do you need? You have done everything wrong and it is all falling apart. Start doing the right thing from now on and maybe we will still have a country tomorrow.

Twitch had posted on 6/2/2020 in “TwitchMusic” that “Without Black people, music would not exist as we know it.” That is the most pompous and self serving thing anyone could say while black people are protesting in the streets to save their own lives. Black people matter because without them, white people wouldn’t have such good music. Black people don’t matter as people, in and of themselves. They matter because of their use to white people. I just want to find whoever wrote that and slap the fuck out of them.

How many versions of DirectX do I have to have? It seems like a rather inelegant solution to a problem that doesn’t exist.

The purpose of religion is to twist someone’s personal truth into their own profitable agenda through violent suppression, intimidation, indoctrination, and erasure of individualism. Religion is slavery.

CNN says the Federal jobs report of 19 million unemployed contradicts the news over the past few weeks of up to 42 million losing their jobs. So, naturally, CNN says that everything we’ve seen over the past few weeks must be wrong and the jobs report has to accepted as the only reality. Their explanation? “Hidden hirings.” WTF?

It is amazing how many people stand with Black Live Matter now, who weren’t even whispering about it a month ago. Or back in the Sixties. Or the Fifties. Or the Forties….

Nobody, so far, has gotten it completely right.

After the evolutionary appearance of white people about 9,500 years ago, we somehow got the idea that we are the Next Generation and are to replace all the dark skinned people. I have absolutely no idea how that thought came about, but it is not working out very well. Not well, indeed.

There will be no peace on this planet until race and religion are erased. Santayana was probably right about only the dead seeing the end of war.

Nothing lasts forever. There is nothing wrong with trying to make it last as long as possible, but you can’t save everything, or even anything, in the end. Someday the Earth will melt back into the Sun, and everything that ever happened here will be forgotten. The universe doesn’t even notice what is going on here now. So, do what you can if you want, but don’t kill yourself over it. It just doesn’t last. Memento mori.

People support Trump for the same reason they worship a god: no reason at all. They simply turn off their brains, stop thinking, and enjoy the warm fuzzy sensation of being right without reason or effort. It’s the definition of irrationality.

Countries that fuck the world over, countries run by white people, refuse to allow refugees from those fucked over countries to move to the oh so much better white countries. The chickens will come home to roost, by hook or by crook.

We traded a healthy environment for shiny baubles.

The only way things change in society is when people whose ideology is disliked die out. (cit. Sun Tzu, The Art of War, “Sit by the river long enough and the bodies of all your enemies will come floating by.”)

Stupidity is not a right, it is a privilege. And, boy, are there a lot of privileged people in the world.

“Oh, great. Another white guy jumped on the freedom train. Is there any room at the back? No? Hey! Yeah, you! White guy. No, you can’t sit there. And you can’t stand there. Up on the roof. You heard me. Up on the roof. Yeah. Window. Right there. Lean out and climb up. Don’t worry, you’ll have lots of company. Welcome aboard. Honestly, how did these people even evolve?”

Lindsey Graham is a fucking genius. The Devil’s advocate. He kissed Trump’s ass for no apparent reason just long enough to bite off his balls. Barr, Trump’s genuine ass kisser, fired the NY Southern District Attourney and replace him with a Trump golfing buddy dependent on Senate confirmation. Graham upheld a tradition that the Senate will only confirm if the two state representatives, both Democrat, agree to the choice. Everybody has been hating Graham, but it appears he has been playing the long game.

What’s weird is that a man would condemn himself to a lifetime of economic slavery just to spend a few minutes inside some warm apple pie.

Who’s responsible? We all are. We all put Trump in the White House, we and generations behind us, with our infatuation with things instead of systems, our embrace of corporate economics, and our lifestyle of keeping up with the Joneses. Quo vadis?

Fuck anyone who has power over anyone else. Just fuck them to hell.

Here’s the problem with white people: they’re afraid of everything, including black people, foreign people, poverty, authority, nature, and intellect. Instead of trying to get over the fear, they try to enslave everything they are afraid of, destroying it in the process. Then they get angry and blame everyone else. That is the true root of white culture.

Fuck the Chinese Communist Party.

Your friends are the people you help feel better about themselves by reminding them that they aren’t you.

Trump’s brain is a shithole country. Putin’s brain is a shithole country. Xi’s brain is a shithole country. Every dictator’s brain is a shithole country.

There will not be a future for the human species until we outgrow religion.

Writing is a way of talking to yourself without everyone thinking you are a loon. Writing poetry is like writing, but while having a stroke in a shopping cart going downhill. Singing is both of those but throw in Tourette’s Syndrome.

Mice are nice / With lots of spice / On a bed of rice / When you bake them twice

Poor cat, all squashed flat / Is that the house where you lived at? / Hit by a car while chasing a rat / Poor cat, all squashed flat

The human race is the most menacing and destructive species on planet Earth.

Donald Trump wants to become the Baron Harkonnen and turn Earth into Gedi Prime. Fantasizing about having sex with his daughter clinches it.

Why is it, every century, the madmen of evil try to take over the world?

As an experiment, I went to the latest Ubisoft themed video which was an AngryJoeShow and mentioned the Ubisoft rape culture. Joe ghost banned three of my I.D. for doing that, even one that thanked him for ghost banning anyone who mentions Ubisoft’s rape culture, and for supporting such a fine company. Imagine Angry Joe covering up sexual assault for the benefit of Ubisoft. tch tch tch

If only all politicians could be like Jamaal Bowman. He will need to be careful. His most dangerous foes will be the corporate Democrats.

Every time you flush the toilet, it is a burial of what used to be you.

If gender is a spectrum, then, aren’t we all trans?

This is the worst period of US history. Unlike earlier ages when there were at most newspapers for information, today we are linked around the globe at light speed, and yet evil jerks like Donald Trump can still get away with everything they can to bring misery to everyone they don’t like. We have to stop being nice. We have to kill these bastards.

I am afraid that the destruction of the United States of America may be the only way to save the world.

Humans are the scum of the Earth. Infinite potential and endless disappointment.

I must stop reading the news. It has become nothing but a casebook of the symptoms of insanity of the human race. I am depressed enough already.

Everything good is gone. I’m only left with the boredom.

Not sure if Theoryboard is worth the $499 kickstarter (only 2 left) let alone the eventual $1199 retail price. It would be impossible to use by musicians with color blindness, as opposed to the clarity of the normal piano keyboard. Using Theoryboard might dissuade learning music theory in depth. The brain is still the best tool any artist or craftsman possesses and it is free to use.

Dog people are autocrats who want to be worshipped. Cat people are individualists who want to be understood.

If you are not working on a masterpiece then you are a hack. It is better to risk everything and fail miserably than to succeed at mediocrity.

It is either poverty or wealth that leads to narcotics abuse. People in the middle, the middle class, are mostly content with alcohol, tobacco, and firearms.

I don’t wanna go out / I don’t wanna get sick / There’s way too many illnesses that you can die with / No planes, no trains, just video games / It’s the biggest horrorshow there is / I don’t wanna go out, but, baby, if I did / I’d wear a mask to keep out COVID.

People immune to facts. I call them Trumpezoids®.

The Democrats should speak the truth, no matter who it hurts, even if it is themselves. They should admit they are in the pockets of the corporations. They should apologize for their greed and lust for power and for abandoning their service to the people of the United States. They should swear to stop being crooks and liars and devote themselves to serving all the people instead of just the rich white priveleged bastards. If they can’t do that, then they can all go to hell.

Pompoundous. A new word I invented in response to someone needing a new word to describe the sound of Sam Battle’s Megadrone/Kilodrone. It’s a mixture of pomp, sound, and tremendous. I expect it to catch on.

2020 A.D.: The year everyone finally conceded that White people are nothing but trouble, and they definitely have to go.

Machine music turns out to be too mechanical, and needs to be randomized to sound more human, so humans can make music through machines that doesn’t sound like music from machines, so bobbleheads can bob their heads and turn knobs and call themselves musicians.

When Edward Snowden appeared on stage as a robotized talking head, it was merely a foreshadowing of the horrorshow that would be 2020.

I have discovered the original meaning of card suits, which has been obscure as long as I can remember. ? tits ? prick ? ass ? cunt. It’s always all about sex. Sex and death are the only two things that matter in the core of human consciousness.

Donald Trump seriously thinks the Presidency is a television show and ratings are all that matter. The real pity and horror is he may be right.

Would Muslims even have started committing acts of terrorism if Europe and the US had not spent a century screwing over the Middle East?

It isn’t the AC that raises the heat noticeably. Moving heat from inside a building to outside only adds a fraction of a percent of heat. It’s the fossil fuels. All that coal and oil used to make the electricity. What we need is to put the fossil fuel companies into business building and maintaining orbital solar collecting stations to beam terawatt masers to the surface to distribute free electricity to everyone, thus eliminating poverty and inequality and making the world safe for everyone. But, no, the billionaires gotta have their superiority. Well, that’s gonna change right soon, you just bet on that, son.

Right now, the Evangelicals are even more dangerous than the corporations. If Trump wins the election by hook or by crook, taking out Trump and Pence will leave Pelosi as President pro tem. The country will be a little safer for the time being and the religious Right will be foiled. If Biden wins, same difference, only no jail time for a hero.

Wild turkeys are some of the smartest animals in nature. Ben Franklin wanted the wild turkey to be the US national bird, as opposed to the bald eagle which is one of the most stupid animals in the world. Bald eagles fuck in mid air and often fall to their deaths doing it. How stupid is that? Only stupider is the domestic turkey, flocks of which have been known to drown in rainstorms. When caught in the rain they just look up with their mouths open and drown. Just like Republicans. This is why I like the hurricanes that are hitting the South. Fewer Republicans. Yay.

Tofu is horrible. Chalk jelly. That’s tofu.

Somebody (developer of Cooking Mama The Unauthorized PETA Edition) doesn’t like Majesco. Hey, they brought us Psychonauts (world’s best game) when Microsoft (sucks) wouldn’t. Now Double Fine has deal with Microsoft and big money but seems tainted but it’s bringing us Psychonauts 2 (as well and Rhombus of Ruin [for those rich enough to have a 3D headset, pfah!]) so I am going to reserve judgement. Also I am an investor in the game so I definitely won’t complain.

Keep the immigrants. Deport the Republicans.

Human beings are hypothetically capable of much more, but, since they don’t accomplish much more, are they actually capable of it? Is that hypothetical potential delusion? Since most human beings do little more than disappoint, are they in actuality disappointing and nothing more? Reality would say yes.

Donald Trump needs to die. He does not merely need to lose office. He needs to be killed. Him and all the filthy demons who support him. Removing them from power is not enough. They need to be exterminated to show the world that their evil will no longer be tolerated. Trump’s brand of treason can only be rectified by death. No mercy for them.

South Park is merely a succinct and concise distillation of the common tragedy of existence lovingly coated with glucose.

When a government turns against the people, that government must be destroyed and replaced.

Well, 10% of the population is depressed normally. Similarly, 10% of the population is psychotic. Our cave-dwelling ancestors were about 90% psychotic, which they had to be to survive, so, we’re getting better. Just, not very quickly. And, by psychotic, I mean, like when your cat suddenly looks away at nothing as if it is deciding whether to fight or run. There’s nothing there. That’s psychosis. Animals have it as a survival mechanism. Fortunately, most people don’t. Unfortunately, our President is completely batshit insane.

It is better to do nothing than to have to deal with human beings.

Trump is the most mistreated President since Lincoln? Worse than McKinley, Garfield, and Kennedy? Let’s test that out. Someone, please, treat Trump as unfairly as those four Presidents. What’s that Mr. Trump? You have been treated just as unfairly as those predecessors. Nothing to say? He has nothing to say.

Shouldn’t credit cards be secure in and of themselves? If they are so vulnerable, doesn’t that say that the paradigm has failed? And that the idea of credit cards should be discouraged? How are they better than cash if they are even less secure than cash? If someone robs you of the cash on your person they don’t take all the money in your bank account at the same time. And your cash doesn’t charge you interest simply to own it.

Wealthy people hire other people to work for them, and keep half the money. Of course, they do provide the thing to work on. There’s no magic to it. Capitalism works when the government stays out of it. Socialism is capitalism run by the government.

If choice is an illusion then how are we able to write software that provides choice?

I have to stop reading the news. What makes humans think they deserve to survive?

Americans are getting exactly what they deserve: a kick in the ass from reality.

Amiga, the computer that single-handedly scared Bill Gates and Steve Jobs into simultaneously adopting as a permanent business strategy “release it right now even though it’s crap full of bugs!”

All human works should be transmitted into space as radio waves to be permanently stored in the background radiation, because it sure as hell isn’t going to last down here on Earth.

Here’s a conspiracy theory: right-wing police are coordinating with right-wing extremists to target and execute liberal cops and remove them from the force. Has anyone investigated the politics of police officers who have been attacked by right-wing extremists? I would not be surprised if they were less than right-wing.

Ah, the future. How we look back and laugh and laugh at how stupid and unsuspecting everyone was back then.

This new thing of watching prerecorded videos by appointment “for the group experience”…? It’s just television all over again. Except television never had a working ad blocker. Not for lack of trying.

Poverty and survival are the natural state of existence. Only humans invented wealth, and it has corrupted the balance of everything.

Welcome to Lease World. Lease your books, software, furniture, work, life. Nothing will be owned. In the near future, under King Donald, all citizens will be fitted with a tracheal air valve at birth, and will be charged by the breath until the day they die, which will depend on whether they can afford their air lease. Kind of like Baron Harkonnen’s slaves and their heart plugs, only less messy.

Do you want to save the world from these fat bastards? Glue money to some railroad tracks.

Love is like television. The closer you look, the harder it is to see. Look too far away and you can’t see it at all.

Depression is like being anaesthetized and awake at the same time. Wanting or having to do something only it being easier to do nothing. A life constantly “five more minutes.”

The only thing I ever really liked about the Game of Thrones series was the title sequence. I stopped watching after the second season. The moment I saw that witch lady giving birth to a smoke demon, I went “Fuck this shit, I’m out.”

I am decided. Trump and Biden both make me sick. What the hell makes you think anything is going to change? The corporations run everything, and they will continue to run everything after this election. This whole Trump debacle is a Federal con job to convince everyone that Biden’s status quo is salvation. It isn’t. It is just the same continuing state of damnation. Stop kidding yourselves.

Please don’t forget, Kamala Harris kept evidence of Catholic diocese child abuse from the lawyers of victims, when she was DA in San Francisco. She protected the Church at the cost of children for the sake of votes. Biden protected the credit card banks at the cost of students who are buried in debt. Trump is just a monster and Pence is an idiot. No matter how you vote, we all lose.

There are a hundred million mice in Manhattan, and fifty million rats, and if they all suddenly developed a taste for human flesh, with only four or five very narrow exits, it would make Escape From New York look like a Sunday school picnic.

Fuck Nigeria. Fuck Islam. Fuck Allah. Fuck Christianity. Fuck Judiasm. Fuck all religion and the idiots who adhere to it. I’m getting sick of all this mental slavery that humans invent. It’s beyond stupid. Asinine. Mentally diseased.

Election 2020: Rotten Apple or Rotten Orange? That’s your choice, folks. How hungry are you?

The purpose of government is to provide a level playing field in all dispute. Weak against strong, the few against the many, the rich against the poor, race against race, color against color, creed against creed, fire, flood, pestilence, and plague against life itself. It is the government’s job to allow the fight to be equal so the underdog stands an even chance. That is the bottom line.

What gave you the idea that the human species was civilized? We are still evolving and progressing. Only a tiny handful of people throughout history have dragged everyone else out of the stone age. The superior, inventive, brave, forthright advancers altogether would make up a very small town, with the rest of us only following in their footsteps. Trump’s followers are still in the stone age at this point.

Life is a long slog through tedious obscurity in between infinite periods of oblivion. Adventure is what gets you killed.

Silver and white is the tea service where your aunties go to eat watercress sandwiches and breathe the rarified atmosphere of approaching death.

I give up. What most people do with synthesizers is fucking boring.

There is no more freedom in America. When the lawmakers become dictators, making laws is futile. It is time to shoot the dictators.

All the people who ever lived before us are dead. Their dust lies in the ground where grows the wheat from which we make our bread.

Without humor, we would all be murdering each other with knifes and bats and axes and chainsaws and guns. The zombie apocalypse would have happened a long time ago if no one could tell jokes and laugh. That’s why the Islamic countries are so scary. They outlawed humor. It’s why the Soviet Union was so scary. They outlawed humor. China, North Korea, all the dictatorships. They outlaw humor so no one can make fun of the leader. Then it’s just two seconds until the zombie apocalypse, forever. Very tense. Humor is the only thing that keeps our civilization from imploding, then exploding, then imploding into a singularity and destroying all of reality with it. Most men lead lives of quiet desperation, as Thoreau so aptly wrote, and humor is the only thing that keeps them alive.

Deus autem bovis stercore.

The Constitution: accept it, or change it, if you can, or go live in another country.

You still don’t understand, do you? The Democrats aren’t stupid. The Republicans aren’t stupid. The whole thing is a show for the benefit of the taxpayers. You complain. The right wing press complains. Everyone calls everyone else dirty names and rolls their eyes at how corrupt the other side is. And you are trying to convince us that it’s a shame it isn’t being as fair as it should. It’s. All. Bullshit. Nobody controls the United States except the trillion dollar corporations. The rest is total bullshit. The election is bullshit. Trump is bullshit. Biden is bullshit. George Carlin said it best. They own you. They own you. Trump was put in power in order to make Biden look like a savior, so that no one like Sanders would ever be allowed a chance to get near the White House ever again. Middle of the road corporate power entrenchment. That is all it is about. And that is all that it will ever be, until the corporations are reduced to smoldering piles of rubble. That is the only solution. Otherwise, just bend over and spread ’em. That’s the new pledge of allegiance.

I’m depressed because I am stuck on a planet that is covered with human beings.

It’s just too bad that Irina Slavina wasn’t holding onto that fucker Vladimir Putin when she set herself on fire, may he die of cancer of the balls.

Exciting times ahead… for the alien archaeologists who discover our dead world. I can almost hear them laughing now.

Have fun while you are here for this very short time, because you won’t be, for a very, very long time.

If you ever needed proof of the randomness of life, you only need look at the opioid crisis, and how the producers of opioids turned out to be a bunch of scum sucking trolls who ruined it all for people who really need opioids, and still they rake in the dollars selling them to everyone with the tiniest ouchie.

The main, perhaps only, difference between good and evil has nothing to do with one being nice and the other being mean. Both use violence to achieve their goals when dialect fails. Good seeks to protect what it has. Evil seeks to take what it does not have from those who have it. In the end, it is all about property rights.

Humans are the worst creatures on Earth because they have the brains to know better but generally act worse than any other animal. Mark Twain said he suspected God created Man because He was so disappointed with the monkey. If Man was created, I think it was simply to watch the rest of the world be tortured to death. But, of course, there was no creation. It’s just the way atoms work when they join together. There is neither good nor bad but thinking makes it so.

The world is becoming a police state as White people and dictators grab onto supremacism with both hands. World War III will decide who survives, the tyrants or the citizens.

Apparently, the purpose of civilization is to disguise sex as romance so we can continue to feel superior to all the other animals that we treat horribly.

I want to live forever and see everything. I want to be eternal.

I was going to register to vote, and might have even considered voting had there been anyone worth electing. I remembered that registering also declares oneself eligible for jury duty, so, nix on that.

The news is, and probably always has been about how people are making each other miserable, and fluff pieces about animals. Avoid.

Just because one can bang a spring reverb does not mean that one should. It only makes a sound like a screen door slamming shut. Is that really pleasant or musical? I am beginning to understand why I never bought a Moog. It’s that buzzing sound, which I now call the Moog Zipper. It’s always there, inescapable.

Most people have a need for everything to mean something. It doesn’t. Stop it.

When you die, all your beloved things become somebody else’s garbage.

1984 snuck in disguised as Brave New World and took over everything.

How do you know that the past hasn’t been changed?

If religion keeps trying to get in the way of scientific understanding, religion will have to go.

You can fight all you want for things to get better but it won’t keep you from dying before they do.

If human beings weren’t scum, we wouldn’t have had to invent locks.

I am so amused that MSNBC Morning Joe are trying to make it look as if James Comey alone is responsible for getting Donald Trump elected. America’s racism had nothing to do with it. The corporations had nothing to do with it. Putin had nothing to do with it. It was James Comey, against the fervant argument of his wife, who jumped the gun and gutted Hillary Clinton’s campaign before finally revealing that the email server had nothing illegal and she was in the clear. It was only Comey. None of that other stuff needs to be discussed. Nothing to see here, you lookey looes.

Glenn Greenwald is right in that the purpose of the Press is to provide truthful information to the public so they can think about it and decide for thems, and not to decide that the people cannot think for themselves and must be led to the best conclusions as decided upon by the Press. As for his article that broke the camel’s back, it is difficult to believe that the international businessman son of an ex-Vice President would simply drop off personal computers at a random repair shop; wealthy people with anything to hide have their own vetted and trusted I.T. people always on speed dial.

Election Day 2020: history will remember this day was looney tunes.

Americans: amusingly dangerous idiots.

Government: a bunch of people who decide what they are going to do with our money.

Democracy happened. It didn’t win. SSDD.

Bernie isn’t really that much of a hero. Politically he is the grumpy old man who really won’t complain too much about his kids stealing his pension once in a while. He’s a threat to the system, or at least he represents what is a threat to the system, but has been easily dealt with twice now. There is no Captain America on the horizon, no finger-snapping Iron Man to save the US or the world. Chris Hedges has outlined the only available solution and that is to take it to the streets, shouting I’M MAD AS HELL AND I’M NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE! It’s the corporations, and the only way to beat them is to stop giving them money. That means stop buying, and stop paying taxes, nationwide. That, again, is going to take a Jesus, and, again, there is none on the horizon. All we regular people can do is buckle up, refuse to play along, and hope we don’t end up in a concentration camp.

I threw away every chance at happiness that ever appeared before me.

It’s the 21st Century and people are still chopping off each others’ heads over power and wealth. Nothing has changed in a thousand years.

Apparently, the only thing more terrifying than a nuclear bomb hidden in your city is a goat with an axe.

All languages are programming languages.

Trumpism is the soul of America run rampant. Trump must die.

People cannot be protected from their own stupidity.

The universe does not exist for us. It simply exists. As do we.

Can one fart while SCUBA diving?

Cars are made from rocks and trees and cows.

Seriously, I hope the human race gets exterminated. We are about one one-thousandth of a percent worth saving.

Music died with Emerson and Bowie. When Punk happened, music as an art form entered its fugue state. What is heard today are the lumbering steps of it striving against its inevitable collapse and decay. People do not make music today. They tap buttons on machines to repeat phrases set down by those greater than them who have gone by the wayside. Machine music for machine people. Do not fear the android apocalypse. It has already passed.

Corporate politician says we don’t have to listen to you because we don’t want to and we make the rules and we have the cops and the guns and the corporate news agencies. That is what is known as playing with loaded dice. So, either swap the dice or burn down the casino. And remember, casino is named after Xeno, whose famous bridge could never be crossed. Halfway measures won’t cut it.

The end of Trump and the beginning of Biden. The United States of America just doesn’t stop being a motherfucker to the world.

Expressivity used to mean skill as a musician, garnered over years of laborious dedication to the craft. Now it means selecting a series of menu items in an order no one else has used before. Buddy Pine was right. When everyone is Super, no one will be.

Four years ago half the USA elected Donald Trump to be President. What makes you think the future stands an ice cube’s chance in hell of being anything other than dismal?

Do you want to find America? Go look in a mirror.

At the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark, is that Warehouse 13? If anything, it proves the latter preceded the former, by centuries if one accepts canon.

You will get rich by telling people they will magically get rich by giving you their money. Welcome to the longest con of all: religion.

From the White Supremacists’ perspective, their greatest mistake was leaving any non-Whites alive in the United States. Had there been no Black, Indian, Latino, Asian, or other ethnic minority citizens to complain about unequal treatment under the law, the Whites would have been as cozy as they wanted to be. At least, up until their economy collapses for lack of scapegoats and victims. An inefficient genocide sews seeds of disaster for the oppressors, just as does an efficient one. In either instance, tribal supremacism is doomed to failure. But, for minorities, to thrive, first they must survive.

White supremacists would rather destroy the world than admit that they are not superior.

Where gang rape and child marriage is common yet public kissing is forbidden, and the country’s saviour was assassinated as he was celebrated: you know what? fuck India.

Humans are the monsters, with the greatest potential wasted and the greatest disappointment. Extermination is too good for us.

Humans are predators. Remember that when you think about corporate tycoons gazing down on the city from their glass towers; when you think about teachers lecturing your children; when you think about yourself looking up into the bus driver’s eyes.

If you can stop it, it is not depression. If your leg heals, it was simply broken; it was not incurable bone cancer. Depression is incurable mind cancer. Antidepressants are bandages that make billions of dollars for pharmaceutical companies but treat nothing but symptoms. Simply surviving is the first goal; it is not winning the war, but merely the battle of the moment. The war between you and yourself does not end as long as you continue to exist. A severed spine can learn to reroute signals, sometimes, after a very long time of effort. The mind can reroute a sense of purpose to the self, sometimes. With effort and determination, the will to live can be rejoined, but the disease will always be there. Freedom is constant vigilance.

Ensoniq was purchased by E-Mu who were in turn purchased by Creative, who have now buried them, just as Apple buried eMagic to spite all the PC users who refused to become Apple fanbois. The pages of downloads for E-Mu and Ensoniq hardware have been removed from Creative’s site, and now only exists in the aging computers of fans and musicians. The last great product of E-Mu/Ensoniq was Emulator X3, which is still available for download from various sites including Archive.org. It is not only the greatest sampler ever made, but has every aspect of every E-Mu and Ensoniq synth including Z-Plane filters and, beyond that, the ability to create your own custom Z-Plane filters. Get Emulator X3 and you will not have to buy the hardware.

All musicians are inherently dictators who demand that you look toward them and move as their puppets.

Who knew that plastic would be both our future and our doom? Nobody, apparently.

If we used airships for everything that did not require haste, airports could be a lot smaller and quieter.

Evil came into existence with human beings. The sooner we’re gone, the better off this world will be.

ReCaptcha is destroying the will to edit or comment online. It goes on and on and then either says you have failed or just stops responding after it appears to allow access. I think it is being used to fake security when actually it is being used to mute any attempt at outside opinion. I hope whoever invented ReCaptcha gets a very persistent and painful incurable and terminal cancer.

We’re microbes clinging to an apple floating in the middle of the ocean hoping a hungry turtle does not notice us.

Happiness is for idiots.

Other people expect you to entertain them. I expect other people to bore the shit out of me. Disappointment would be a step up but I am never disappointed, so I sit alone and am satisfied.

Take Trump and everyone loyal to him out and dispose of them like the manure they are. Biden isn’t much better but Donald “Spoiled Baby Brat” Trump is being an outright bastard as he always has. There is no way the United States could legally or sanely have elected that prick. It all had to have been rigged to make Biden look like a savior, a great white hope. The corporations sure as shit don’t want anyone like Bernie Sanders getting anywhere near the White House. This is why the corporations need to be burned to the ground and all the corporate executives ground up for animal food.

Who ever thought that the United States of America would become a third world dictatorship ruled over by trillion dollar corporations, where half the population has to choose between buying food or shoes for the kids. Forget health care. There is no such thing for poor people. Wait a minute. That was the USA all along! Since Columbus landed, even. How silly do I feel?

Trump is a symptom, not the disease. America was corrupt since the first Indians were murdered for their land and the first slaves brought to these shores. That corruption has only grown and festered, and still thrives in our corporate towers and social institutions. Trump wasn’t thrust upon us unheralded and unwilling. He was here all along, and he is what we deserve. We can only reach a good place by abandoning everything that has come before. If we are unwilling to do that, then America deserves to end.

Symptomatic of the death of music and the rise of video editing as a pseudo art form designed to allow low mentality unimaginatives to become rich and famous at the price of the bankruptcy of culture. Welcome to the future. When everyone is super, no one will be.

I wonder if accomplishment is success in an effort to make oneself feel significant against the infinite insignificance one experiences in the face of an infinite universe.

I’m writing this here just in case I don’t get the chance later: 2021, the year Yellowstone erupted. Or maybe 2020. It ain’t over, yet.

Sept. 11 was perfectly convenient for all concerned, just like Pearl Harbor. The known hijackers were Saudi, Osama bin Laden was Saudi royalty, no other nation had anything to do with it except the US and SA. Is it beyond imagining that MBS is running or influencing the Islamic terror groups the way Trump influences US right-wing terror groups? With trillions of dollars, global power, and corporate support at stake, nothing monumental happens by accident. It is arranged. (This post in U2b needed periods to be interspersed in certain words else U2b kept erasing it in blatant political censorship. Welcome to the police state.)

There is no Constitutional law protecting people from being offended. So, don’t act as if there is. Many Liberals and Conservatives walking around with high and mighty sticks up their butts.

If push came to shove, would a VPN provider protect their clients from government or corporate intrusion, illegal or otherwise? How do we know they do now? Ask them? Hm?

Everything is generic these days. It’s easier for corporations to sell everyone the same thing over and over again, albeit in smaller quantities in larger packages for more money as time goes by. Nintendo is selling empty boxes for people to use to keep and display their Pokemon Go virtual creatures. No, that is not a joke. I assume someone will soon realize they can sell virtual boxes for more money along with individual display screens and that will happen.

China is now a society of slaves. This is the country that will run the world economy in the future? Kiss your freedom goodbye.

Human beings are rapacious morons. What they can’t eat or fuck they shit on.

Modular is synthesis heroin. You have to stay away, or prepare to live with the addiction. I prefer designer drugs (VSTi) and hallucinogens (unique keyboards.)

Every year banks rake in a billion dollars in electronic transaction fees. Does it really cost a billion dollars to change a few digits in a computer? If that’s the case then this sentence must have cost about $200.

Do you remember Foamy in the park with the acorns? Exploding heads? Texas clock tower mayhem? (Which is a fucking great name for a band.)

Earth, the planet where no one bothers to remember that the chickens always come home to roost.

Modern music has become the replacement for watching paint dry.

Human beings are not gods in waiting. They are corrupt apes with delusions of grandeur.

My ancestry is Dutch and Ukrainian. To which people are you referring? Also, you may wish to read about or watch The Ra Expedition, during which Thor Heyerdahl, a fellow melanin deprived person, navigated a North African designed reed vessel across the Atlantic Ocean to the New World. African people were very likely exploring the New World before we palefaces even evolved only 9,500 years ago.

Time weals all hounds.

If you don’t like it, then make your own.

Machines have no emotion. How can they make music that has any meaning?

Owning land is a myth. It is like a drop of water owning a puddle.

Autism is not insanity. It is alt-sanity.

Feminist equality is sometimes just more exceptionalist supremacism.

Considering how likely it is that most White Alabama politicians are the product of incest, it is no wonder they are against abortion following rape or incest. They are trying to protect their future brother-sister-children and the next generation of their species, Politiciensa alabaman.

Epiphany: watching other people play synthesizers is just like watching other people play video games.

One has to wonder at a device that is so complicated and difficult to program that hardly anyone wants to use it properly, and even then only at great personal expense. NASA makes really neat rockets but I don’t want one in my back yard.

The Constitution does not protect anyone from being offended. Tough shit. Go fuck yourself.

“Willy’s Wonderland” greatly and suspiciously resembles the abandoned Five Nights At Freddy’s film project. Does Scott Cawthon know about this? Does his lawyer?

Reality doesn’t give a flying fuck about your opinion. It will let you live or it will kill you, and your disagreement does not mean shit to reality.

Me: I’m a non.
Someone else: A non what?
Me: Whaddya got?

This is why I do not go outside, and stay as far away from all other people as I can possibly get. I yearn for the extinction of the human species. I want to live on a quiet Earth.

Inauguration Day 2021: the biggest difference is that I can look at the President without that awful knot in my gut.

Twitch: THOTs and games.

The Cloud: Why sell software once when you can rent it forever?

White supremacists are chickenshit and will always resort to violence to get what they want because they have no reasonable argument and they are not superior. They are also outnumbered worldwide thirty to one, so they will fail in the end, and be swept away with the dust of time.

Racists calling anti-racists racist is the height of hypocrisy. Racism is not a race, it is a philosophy, and in philosophy you can be wrong.

This democracy is quite a racket. These politicians can screw over anyone they like and then blame us because we picked them.

Internet access should be paid for on a scale proportional to the speed of delivery as promised.

The difference between art and journalism is that art is open to interpretation.

To my mother, who taught me the futility of hope, and to my father, who taught me the inevitability of betrayal.

The great bulk of modern 21st Century synthesizer music is endless, tedious, boring repetitive drudgery with the most minimal of unimaginative flourishes. Aside from that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?

Copyright should not be transferable. Copyright trolls like Jukin Media (I refuse to think they are anything else) should not be allowed to copyright anything they themselves did not create. If copyright only belonged to the original creator and legal heirs, then copyright trolls like Jukin Media could not exist. To hell with Jukin Media. I hope they get testicular cancer. As MxR are still going, I can only assume they paid the bill and did not accrue six figures of legal bills. The major question is, wherever these videos are sourced, is it completely clear that they are copyright by Jukin Media? Would anyone use a video that had a clear copyright notice on it? The mark of a troll is someone who lets videos be used “illegally” and then pounces with a claim that they are copyrighted, when there was no clear indication of pending copyright. If a video doesn’t scream copyright, then users should not be liable. Now, Roberto Blake has a Groot figurine on his bookshelf. Is there anything stopping Marvel Studios/Disney from suing both Roberto Blake and LegalEagle for copyright violation by showing a Groot image without license? Finally, as someone who lives below the poverty line, I have no sympathy for anyone who makes more money than me.

Some can argue that the rich build the economy, but if that is the case then why do a great mass of other citizens have to work three jobs just to keep from going hungry quite as quickly. Some people’s view of economics has a bit too much of a rosy glow in the age of corporate owned politicians. If and when the ecology fails and civilization ends will be a bit too late to admit they got it wrong and to apply corrective measures. Fixes don’t help acres of corpses or raise sunken coastlines. The real losers have to admit failure now and get out of the way of everyone else who need a real world solution.

The only people in evangelical ministries are sheep looking to get fleeced and wolves looking to do the fleecing.

The only solution remaining available to the common citizen against the corporate control of the world is a .30-06, and the corporations will come to regret keeping it available for all the profit it brings in.

The only difference between influencer and influenza is pronunciation.

Remember when Treason was a hanging offense? Imagine Donald Trump and his whole family dangling from their necks, faces purple, legs kicking. I imaging that. All day long.

This use of genderless plural pronouns is just going to make the world more and more annoying and I am going to end up punching somebody.

Fairness is a human invention, an aberration that only exists in the warped dimension of human mentality. The universe at large has a completely different definition of what is fair: You fuck up, you die. That is the universe’s take on fairness. The universe is a lot bigger than all of us put together, and will kill each of us in turn in our own special way. That is also fair.

We went to D. C. when I was a child. We stayed in the Howard Johnson’s across the street from the Watergate Hotel. This was about eight years before the Watergate break-in so it wasn’t famous, yet. After a long day of touristing dead presidents in the heat, my mother wanted nothing more than to dive into the chill water of the rooftop swimming pool. But, what a disappointment. The pool was heated. I didn’t mind it so much but it was not a high point in my mother’s vacation.

The dead can’t rise but the living can be zombified, through language, through programming by words; all languages are programming languages. The Trumpezoids and all the other stupids around the world are the zombies. This is the zombie apocalypse. It is happening now.

A Twitch mod banned me from a chat the instant I mentioned advertisements cutting off the stream and me not being happy with that. Instant ban. Twitch moderators are Gestapo. But, U2b has ghost banning, which is so CIA. Being banned and not even telling you, just letting you go on thinking you are posting or chatting when you’re hidden. That’s just evil. Google does evil. Of course, they don’t care that I write that because it won’t change anything. Only if you start talking about solutions using firearms and explosives do they sit up and take notice.

So many like to scoff at Ayn Rand and her writing, and yet every day the world looks more and more like an Ayn Rand novel. I can only conclude that all those scoffers are the targets at which Rand shone a light of reason, and their protestations and accusations are the squealings of vermin scattering as they dive for cover.

The things that survive mankind will be terrifying indeed.

If you have to leave your yard to find truth then you have no proper concept of truth.

Once one becomes famous, the only way to stop being famous is to stop doing whatever it is that leads others to think one is wonderful.

Another minority member with a mental illness killed by police neck kneeling, and subsequent intense cover-up. It turns out American police are racist cowards whose only purpose is to protect the rich. Who would have thought?

“The fault… lies not in our stars but in ourselves…” “There is neither good nor bad but thinking makes it so.” William Shakespeare was quite the secular humanist.

You do not know how much time you have left so all that matters is what you are doing right now.

God is the stupidest thing humans ever invented and it has led to nothing but misery and destruction since the word go.

Nothing is much more fun than getting people to set themselves on fire.

Have you ever had the feeling that the rest of the world has gone absolutely insane?

Social acceptance is slavery.

Dip chicken nuggets in chocolate syrup. Trust me.

A long time ago, all software was on servers and everyone accessed via terminals. Service was leased and everything was in control by the corporation. Then the personal computer arrived and control belonged to the user. Software licenses were sold and ownership was for a lifetime. Then, the cloud was invented, which is just the old server/terminal model, but why sell software once when you can rent it forever? Say hello to the new boss, same as the old boss.

The Statue of Cthulhu? Turns out that actually represents the American Way even better than Liberty, which only belongs to those who can afford it. As for getting T* involved, remember, the last time he called for people to go out for shots, Pence and Pelosi were the particular targets. Don’t expect anything involving T* to go well.

Just search for “estimated slavery in the world.” You will find entries from World Atlas, World Population Review, Global Slavery Index, The Washington Post and every other non-conservative publication (conservatives are ok with slavery, apparently,) Human Rights First, Human Rights Watch, &c. and so on. Also, the 40M+ is a conservative estimate because tracking slavery is a thin trail and tends to be dangerous. Slavers kill people who want to stop them. There may be three or four times that many people (mostly children) in labor, military, and sexual bondage. And don’t even start on organlegging (trafficking in human organs.) That’s another rabbit hole entirely.

The only way to end racism in America is to put each and every white American into a room with a black person, an Asian person, and an Indian person. If the white person flinches, they are to be relocated to a spot directly between California and Hawaii. Once all white people are vetted, pretty much all of the racism will be gone. And there will be plenty of higher quality housing left available for minority people who never had a chance to live there. As a white person, I approve this message.

The human species is too stupid to go on living, so I say let us die out. Who cares?

Individuals don’t need to reproduce. The species needs us to reproduce. We don’t need children. The species does. Sex is a scam. The orgasm is a scam. It’s a five second shot of heroin in exchange for twenty years of servitude toward something you can definitely live without. Don’t have children. You will suddenly realize how free you are. Sex is a scam and we are the intended rubes. Stop reproducing. To hell with the species. We’re monsters anyway.

There are no rules, only behavior patterns.

In dramas such as Conspiracy Theory, Six Days of the Condor, The Lone Gunmen, it is always a rogue splinter group of some US agency that is committing the acts of covert evil. In such as The Manchurian Candidate, it is a foreign government in its entirety that is the instigator. Yet, it is not incorrect to say that the entirety of the US government is capable of and has committed attrocities in the name of profit and power. That fictional media shy away from this declaration shows the intrinsic fear of being declared seditious. Our government cannot beconsidered evil in principle, but only as an error in watchfulness, appears to be the thought. This small cowardice allows the overwhelming evil to persist. Our entire way of life must be brought to task if the pain we inflict is ever to be ended.

The purpose of the parent is to lie to the child about everything and then hope for death before the child finds out.

People are not made unstupid simply by telling them the truth.

The only place on Earth free of assholes is the tomb.

How is it that the human species can contain infinite potential, yet conduct itself with monumental corruption? The mutations that allowed us to survive thus far have resulted in a self destructive flaw. Then, again, in evolution, the individual is of little consequence. The species is what survives as it may. Individualism is our greatest flaw, and our greatest hope.

People are too lazy and stupid to think for themselves so they take orders from a make believe man in the sky.

The Chinese are Nazis. The Muslims are Nazis. Who the fuck cares if they wipe each other out? Good riddance.

What if Mars is actually a tropical paradise, and the Martians keep hacking our robots to make it look like a forlorn frozen desert?

Humans are so silly. They think this god they invented is on their side, so they can do anything they want and get away with it. The universe does not take sides, except in that it kills whatever does not fit in. Civilization sized idiocy kills everyone at once.

Jesus is being made into the American Hitler by all the Jesus Nazis called Evangelical.

Everything dies. What’s the point?

The worst thing that can happen to a woman short of violence is for her to have no effect.

Vladimir Putin is having all of his enemies killed, just like any Russian dictator. Why hasn’t Putin been assassinated?

The worst crime of religion is that children are not given any choice. They are forced into the same brainless slavery by their parents and peers. If children had any choice, religion would disappear overnight. Or maybe religious wars would be between followers of Sonic and adherents of Mutant Turtles. That would probably be better than what we have now.

It took me all this time to suddenly realize the snake in the Garden was Adam’s erect penis and the apple was the shiny red blood-engorged glans, and of course Eve was immediately drawn to bite it, not with her oral mouth but her vaginal one. I’m such an idiot. The entire Bible is allegorical. No wonder Christians are so obsessed with sex and repulsed by it. Self-loathing is the primary tool of religious mind control.

The only way to transit a singularity is by having no mass.

But, Ben Shapiro IS a Jewish Nazi. And, Israel is a Jewish Nazi state.

White racists are infuriated that their white racism is being examined, questioned, and prosecuted, rather than accepted as the god-given truth that they believe it to be. I suspect only electro convulsive therapy can cure them of this pernicious mental disorder.

Charles Manson might just get his race war, albeit post mortem.

Who would have guessed that the entire Grand Old Party would eventually end up working for Russia? Mind boggling.

Good people die young, and yet I live on. If that does not show the universe as random I do not know what will.

I’m living the socialist dream, and I only had to become a disabled veteran.

There is no regret. Death is the end of everything.

And suddenly David Ickes not making sense suddenly made sense. I am flabbergasted. WhiteNoiseBlackVoid led me to Utopia which led me to Diane Morgan who led me to Cunk. That’s four degrees of separation. I can understand the part about the Jewish computer because it was an IBM computer that was used to tabulate the Holocaust. “How do ve keep track of how many go into ze inciner– uh, showers each day?” “Oh, we’ve got you covered there, Mr. Bimmler.”

The human species is mildly amusing and severely disappointing.

Tulsa, Peekskill, The South… white people aren’t doing much to keep themselves from being evil.

Republicans of the GOP have all become a waste of time. They are now examples of how not to be human.

Humans don’t have the genetic social standard of ants. Aware as both individuals and as members of a species, we have to decide first what is the right thing, and then decide if it should be done. Fighting WWII was the right thing, but it still resulted in 50 million dead. Reality didn’t invent niceness. Humans did. Outside of our conception, life sees food and mating, and the world is just resources. We still have a long way to go.

The Republican Party and Congresspeople have entrenched themselved as enemies of the people.

I do not delude myself into believing there is an answer. There is not even a question.

We all love Hitler because he makes our own crimes look small.

American White racists can’t hide anymore, so they are owning it and daring opponents to try and stop them. There will be war. Since White racists are outnumbered worldwide 30 to 1, I predict the extermination of White racism and possibly White racists by 2050.

Here is another prediction: police departments across the US will be buying cell phone jammers or ordering the confiscation of all cell phones they see as intrusive into the privacy of the person being arrested. Just watch.

Not enough Republicans are being assassinated in the United States. It is time to begin assassinating as many Republican and Right Wing leaders as possible, along with corporate executives and foreign dictators. I recommend starting with the immediate assassination of Donald Trump.

Twitch chat rooms are filled with idiots and robots.

Humans are a despicable species of ape that aspires to greatness by murdering anyone who refuses to be their slave.

Unless someone is dying, there is never any hurry.

When you talk to politicians you are talking to imbeciles who only respond to their base desires for power and wealth. There is no sense attempting to implore their better nature or intellect because they have neither. Any lesson on the nature of their place in reality will only anger them, that you dare to undermine their view of the world and their place in it. There is no reasoning with politicians. Just bribe them and do what you want while they are distracted.

As long as the corporations own the politicians we are all enslaved; it is just that some are more enslaved than others.

One-hundred thirteen thousand people are logged into Twitch to watch a hyperactive autistic twenty year old play a video game about riding a bicycle through Los Angeles.

The Pirate Bay proves there is no intellectual property outside of your own mind, the public domain and the private domain respectively.

Republicans are all traitors. I would call Republicans pigs at the trough but that would be an insult to decent, law-abiding pigs everywhere.

The triangle logo of the SecretLab computer chair is the same as the logo of Identity Evropa.

Everybody thought it would be soooooo cool to have a Dick Tracy Wrist Radio, but now that it’s here it’s just a pain in the ass.

I don’t care what they call it. It’s all Disco and I loathe it.

How about we separate Donald Trump’s limbs from his body, in payment for separating all those families at the border?

The Republican party clings to, orbits, Donald Trump, for the reason no one will name except The Atlantic (and other Progressive screeds) which called Trump “The First White President.” The Republican party is now completely based on White Supremacy and nothing else. The Republican party’s goal is the elimination of anyone and everyone they do not accept as White. That’s all they have, and all they want. When all this is over and done with, this country will either be in flames, or the Republican party will have ceased to exist.

The only reason the Republican party obeys and reveres Donald Trump is because he represents their only agenda, Wh.ite Supr.ema.cism. I do not know why no one is explicitly stating that. Reporting on the left and the right have tiptoed around this for years, but lately it has become the unspoken clause. White people are fighting tooth and claw to remain dominant, and that is the only reason Trump became President, and the only reason the GOP hangs on to him.

Youtube censors any mention of “supremacism” so that comments about and against it are deleted. 0 Replies 0 Upvotes
Youtube censors any comment that contains the word “supremacism” thereby shutting down any conversation about or against supremacism of any kind. How can censoring discussion about racial supremacism protect people from hate speech? That is exactly the kind of stupidity that helps hate speech continue. Sweeping it under the rug is not a solution. It is only Google being cowardly. Perhaps they really support it. Remember their prime AI researcher who made issue of the Whiteness of Google’s search engine, and how quickly they got rid of her.

Republicans obey Trump because, as The Atlantic printed, Trump is the first White president. The Republican party has one agenda, and that is White Sup.rem.acism. Anyone talking about any other reason is bullshitting. The Republican party has become the party of White Supre.ma.cism. White people fighting tooth and claw to eliminate all people they consider non-White. Fighting the Republicans with anything else in mind is futile.

Nota bene: su.pre.ma.cism needs to be dotted because Youtube deletes any comments with that word. That is censorship from Google’s own White agenda, the same agenda that got rid of Google’s top AI programmer who complained about White leaning in Google search.

Just remember, the United States government was founded on slavery and genocide, and is a wholly owned subsidiary of trillion dollar corporations, so, please, don’t expect much.

Dear god, if you love Leonard Leo so much please call him home. He is being too much of an annoying ass down here.

The problem with accomplishing something means you may be tempted to repeat it.

Is the man with a billion dollars a billion times more happy than the man with one dollar?

Everybody wants to be a TV star, and Twitch lets it happen. “When everyone is super, no one will be.”

Take. Drink. These are my tits. Take. Eat. This is my ass. The sepulchre of Twitch.

Yesterday just randomly I watched Sarah Z’s “A Brief History of Homestuck” and today I watch Jenny Nicholson’s “The Last Bronycon: A Fandom Autopsy.” I feel these stories are culturally and historically related.

Dying isn’t sad. Living is all we have. Try to be as happy with it as you can. There are no guarantees, good or bad.

“OIL! MORE OIL! WE CAN’T LET SOCIALISM DESTROY THE WORLD!” the Statusquoman cried.
“Drop dead, Fred,” the Realist said.

You ever get the feeling reality isn’t quite as real as people think it is?

“We are committed to creating a responsible platform. Our products and policies help protect our community from harmful content.”
You mean like progressive news and commentary channels that the network corporate news wants to to push down in the search algorithm by 70%? That kind of harmful content? Harmful to corporate profitability and harmful to public ignorance? We have your number, Google and Youtube. We are watching you.

Now, going Green means increased mining for battery components. Why don’t we all just lower our standard of living so we can all live comfortably without excess? Is it too much to expect no one to live in a stately mansion? Must everyone have a car? Why not dependable, available public transportation for everyone? Why does everyone have to fly everywhere? Can’t everyone realize we have to rewrite our world culture so we can have air to breathe, water to drink, and space to live?

Emily Wilder was fired for posts made before she even worked for the AP. No one is immune from right wing corporate control and managerial cowardice. Republican fascists get exactly what they want: they remain in the shadow, while the AP is vilified and becomes distrusted by the public. This is exactly how the Nazis took over the press in Germany in the Weimar Republic. The Republican Party IS the US Nazi Party, completely literally. We are in that much danger.

My dissatisfaction with humans began with my early childhood reading of Jules Feiffer, Pogo, and MAD Magazine.

The madness of the human species. That is all I see, sometimes.

It’s not broken. It’s doing exactly what they want it to do. Nothing for us. Everything for them.

Twitch is an insane asylum. Probably the entire Internet.

If you can’t please everyone, it’s time to annoy everyone.

Whn something terrible happens in the world, just be glad it isn’t happening to you.

China is failing. As with all attempts to govern reality with lies, it can only last so long before descending into chaos.

Waifu: daydreaming about every woman you couldn’t possibly believe would have anything to do with you.

Fascinating. The moment I searched for “the reign of terror” my Internet connection dropped.

Happiness ain’t all it’s cracked up to be.

I fell in love, once. Fortunately, I was able to climb out before I lost my mind.

I think about the human race, and I think about Laika, and I hope the human race is exterminated.

The government does not want the people to have access to infinite power without having to buy it from the powerful and rich, so the government does all it can to suppress the Newman Motor.

Politicians have no honor. Their allegiance is to the highest bidder.

There’s nothing like vanity and ambition to really renew your faith in human extinction.

I will continue to remind people that a desert island is one that has no fresh water. You want a deserted island. Also Ultranova is best deserted island synth because it can run from a solar powered USB battery.

I wouldn’t give two shits what you think, but so many of you moral high ground people love to pick up guns and start killing sinners. It’s been that way since the invention of god and religion. And, yes, man invented god for political control purposes. You are dangerous and need to be watched very closely. Anyone who thinks they are superior to others by right of some overarching undeniable and yet unprovable power is a threat to everyone’s civil rights.

What’s the difference between Twitch and church? No difference; either way you’re paying for fake love.

What’s the difference between a choir and a brothel? For the priest it’s an employment benefit.

No other coverage on this new Moog scandal, yet. I wonder what famous women who use Moog would have to say, and how that would affect the company behavior. Surprising, and yet, after a little thought, not surprising. Our culture seems to become more disappointing with each passing day. The information revolution is only serving to show us how grubby we are, not how to head to the showers to clean up our act.

Non-white/christian/conservative people are doxed and threatened every day. Maybe it’s time that people who benefit from white culture learn first hand what it feels like not to be part of that culture. Until someone actually invents Douglas Adams’s point-of-view gun, we will have to make due with aggressive communication.

Why aren’t pro-life people pro-contraception?

One is afraid of another’s difference and so demands the other obey or die. This is the history of the human race.

Mitch McConnell takes a Sadistic pleasure in watching people squirm. See it in his eyes. It is his raison d’être.

Considering being white as a crime is a bit too close to original sin for my liking. It’s how black people have been forced to live for a long time. I don’t see any solution so far that has been more effective than saying No.

The terror of losing control. The terror of being swept up by circumstance.

Faster than a speeding cat toy. Able to leap tall boxes in a single bound. More powerful than a LEGO Movie. Look! Up in the sky! It’s a blurb! It’s a flame! It’s SuperMaru! Yes. SuperMaru. Strange visitor from another Internet, who came to Japan with powers and abilities far beyond those of nyan nekos. SuperMaru! Who can change the course of weighty hearts, bend udon with his bare meat buns, and who, disguised as Maru-san, mild-mannered performer for a quaint metropolitan Youtube channel, fights a never ending battle for snoozes, cat snacks, and the Feline Way.

Having OCD means never having to say you’re sick and tired of it.

Women clean for the sake of cleaning. Men clean for the sake of not dying in an accident.

If we don’t eliminate our internal evil here on Earth, we will bring it with us to the stars.

Music is time. Reverb is space. Time and relative dimensions in space.

So, corporations are individuals when it comes to bribing politicians, but they are not individuals when it comes to taking responsibility for child slavery. The Supreme Court has allowed them to have it both ways. Biden is a wimp. McConnell is a monster. Slavery is over but it isn’t. Public outcry doesn’t equal a mouse fart in a hurricane. This country is sunk. Nothing is going to bring it to a solvent state. It’s over. Stop having children. They are only going to grow up to be slaves to the corporations. If you love children don’t have any.

I love it when people talk as if they know the nature of reality. I can stop listening to them at that point.

Art should be a celebration of the possible, not a veneration of the despicable.

We are bacteria clinging to an apple floating in the middle of the ocean hoping a hungry turtle does not swim by.

It’s 10 P.M. Do give a flying fuck where your little shits are?

We can’t fix roads or bridges or pay for health care, but we have the fastest Internet. Welcome to America!

You ever just get the sudden urge to swing a really sharp sword in the proximity of a politician’s neck? Some people can just make you feel that way. Tough to ignore.

Look at history (what the status quo doesn’t want you to do.) US deficit always decreases during Democrat administrations, and then Republican administrations take credit, after which the deficit climbs horrifyingly until the next Democrat administration.

Hot cocoa is Easter bunny diarrhea.

Fuck everybody who helped me get where I am today, which is nowhere.

These truths are self-evident:
There is only information.
Information is difference.
What we change is what we are.

Loving a pet animal is like loving a retarded child only with a lot less legal responsiblity, and it is a lot cuter and isn’t really retarded, it just mutated that way. Although retardation could be considered a form of mutation.

What does pride have to do with where one inserts what to obtain one’s jollies?

Denial is acknowledgement.

Mass is not a property of matter but of space.

Joy is overrated.

Tangerine Dream’s music is kind of boring, actually.

I’m only here because I’m here. There’s no reason for any of it.

Nothing brings happiness.

I tried a lot of things but my heart was never in it.

Jesus Syndrome. The man was trying to free people from organized religion, and they defeated him by turning him into an organized religion.

“Grainbient”? Please. What next? Musitainer? Prodancer? There’s mutation of the language and mutilation of the language. One is a natural process and the other is just wrong.

I would buy a ticket to a concert of Primus, Cake, Tool, Beck, Sparks, Tom Waits, and Leon Redbone.

Don’t forget Witchblade. All she wears is a single piece micro bathing suit made out of stainless steel razors. Tantalizing and terrifying at the same time. I guess Dark Horse has that mildly rational reasoning. In the short-lived television series, she had a full suit of armor with a sword that came out of the forearm. I suppose its lack of sexiness and the overall cop show seriousness of the show doomed it to be unattractive to fanboys. I liked it. I liked Firefly and a lot of other great shows that got cancelled too early because “popularity.”

I’m a Humanitarian, in the strictest Vampire sense.

The Internet is full of people who welcome compliments and censor criticism. In other words, business as usual for the human species.

There’s no point in being happy. The universe is just going to ruin your day and kill you anyway, so, fuck it.

David Firth might be the next Peter Sellers if everyone didn’t loudly disagree with his claims, Stanley Kubrick in particular.

The DSI Evolver is the Devil’s alarm clock.

Love is a trap.

Israel is one of those shithole countries.

All the news does is make me furious about things I cannot change. What? Write to our politicians? The corporate tools? Who listens?

One could look out the window and not see anything change for a million years. Who would want to live in space?

Your belief system interferes with your access to reality.

The whole attitude of Republicans everywhere is “You scare me so I am going to make you my slave and you will have to obey me and become like me so you don’t scare me anymore.” People everywhere must tell Republicans to go fuck themselves.

Murder is wrong unless it is done for the benefit of the rich, and then it is called war and is patriotic. Or, if the police are killing minorities, it is upholding the law, which always favors the rich.

If you don’t draw distinction between cultural and biological, your whole gender analysis and personal decisions can lead to personal disaster, and probably will.

We have entered an age of the stupid versus the smart, and the smart are hopelessly outnumbered.

Home is the place where I keep my clutter.

Having to deal with a cheerful person is like being waterboarded with lemon juice.

If you can’t be a giant, don’t bother being anything.

It’s amazing how much hot air can come our of an asshole, until you take a look at politics, and then you can only wonder how it ever stops coming out. At that point, global warming is clearly explained, and we are doomed.

Any place that has a visitors’ center is not an adventure.

All we are doing is shaping the immediate future which will become someone else’s distant past.

Brainwashing only works because people have such dirty minds.

Guys came back from Viet Nam and got spat on. Guys come back from the Middle East and it’s all “Thank you for your service.” Babies were burned in both wars. The United States has a real problem with hypocrisy.

People want to be friends with me and I never fail to disappoint.

Considering that all the new ideas in music over the past couple of decades suck out loud, what’s the advantage of inspiring more of it? Unless it all compacts into a black hole mass of infinite suckage that sucks it all into oblivion never to return. That would be a benefit.

If big dogs were trained to growl in cadence and claw at seven-string guitars lying on the ground, it would be praised as the next level of Metal.

Twenty-First Century Commie Scare: conservatives think if they drag the country back to 1950, then the white man’s burden will just go away again.

The purpose of the company is not to provide jobs. The purpose is to increase the par value of the common stock.
Change that rule if you want to change everything.

It seems the world’s politicians are turning to the right, and the world’s populations are marching in the streets screaming at them to cut it the fuck out, and nobody is listening to anyone and just doing as they please.

Historical data shows conclusively that humans are irrational due to emotions. Unfortunately this cannot be corrected.

Strange that the word for bread is the same in Spanish and Japanese.

If Superman is supposed to be the modern golem, why didn’t he stop World War II and the Holocaust?

Why doesn’t anyone call the European invasion of the the western hemisphere the American Holocaust?

The human species is committing suicide by Republicanism.

My get up and go died in childbirth.

America is not the land of opportunity, but of conspiracy, to separate you from your money, for the rest of your life.

The purpose of public schooling is to stifle creative genius so that the established rich shall not be threatened by any talented nobodies.

Somewhere in this universe, I am sure there is a planet full of creatures that evolved without the need to eat. Perhaps they absorb gravitational compression and convert it to matter and energy, and they can fly just by thinking about it. They never developed a need to kill and eat or a yearning for power and glory. That’s the kind of world where I want to live.

I’ve seen people. I want nothing to do with them.

I hate you all because you could be so much but you choose to be so little.

Twitch is the world’s biggest whorehouse and the world’s biggest zoo at the same time.

There are two meanings in life: intellectual, and emotional. Intellectual meaning is cause and effect problem solving. Emotional meaning is personal satisfaction. When people ask What is the meaning of life, they are referring to emotional meaning. The meaning of life is, therefor, emotional satisfaction. Without emotion, existence has only functional meaning.

If you carry a child everywhere to save the child the trouble of walking, when you are too old and weary to carry the child any longer, and you set the child down, the child will be unable to walk.

Men struggle out of pride. Women struggle out of necessity.

We used to be able to get boxes for free. Go behind any strip mall and fill up a truck and just drive away with all the boxes you want. They’d be happy you took them. Now, everything has to be crushed and you have to buy new boxes. Nothing for free for anyone. If we need it, someone will make us have to buy it. They’ll be making us buy air next. Then, we’ll have to kill them.

“Work and buy, suffer and die” is the corporate slogan for America.

I’ve made myself a haven in hell.

No matter how long life is, you will never run out of opportunities to totally screw things up.

Our government is made up literally of haters, torturers, murderers, and rapists. Isn’t it time we stopped choosing that kind of evil, and put people, who have real solutions to real problems, in the seats of power?

All religions eventually become the Taliban. In the United States, they are backed by corporations that own everything including all the politicians. Welcome to hell.

The 21st Century Earth is turning into a concentration camp boiling with resentment and rebellion, ready to explode. Who will survive?

Everythings exists. Everything is eaten. This does not mean that everything exists to be eaten.

If stupid people want to kill themselves with bad advice, it should not be the state’s responsibility to stop them.

A world run by men has become about as fucked up as a planet can get and still support life.

Civilization is being destroyed by stupidity, of which there is no end in sight.

Joy is fleeting. Sorrow is eternal.

A black engineer working for Thomas Edison suggested the use of the newly discovered Tungsten as the light bulb filament. Of course, Edison got all the credit and the money for an invention that was continually failing up until that point. We have electric light around the world because of a black man. So much for white superiority owing nothing to any other race.

Larry Elder is the living embodiment of Uncle Ruckus from The Boondocks; the self-hating Negro who worships Whiteness and blames himself for all the ills of the world.

Remember the cool kids in high school? In the adult world, that’s white supremacism, and the stakes are higher. The cool kids are always fucking assholes and so are white supremacists. White isn’t about color or race or creed or class. It’s about power, and those who crave it usually end up either twelve inches shorter or at the quick stop of a short drop.

Living is envying the dead.

If you think of housecleaning as a really boring video game, it doesn’t help one bit.

The whole world these days feels like the automobile race near the end of “On the Beach.”

Religion is a crutch for the mentally disabled.

Children are the slaves of their society. Free the children from the errors of their parents.

Pleasure mice, twat cunts.

I have to laugh because it’s insane.

The Taliban (patent pending Central Intelligence Agency) is being allowed to continue existing and flourish because US oppression cannot continue without enemies threatening the state.

Looking at pictures of beautiful naked women is torture that I do not hesitate to enjoy.

Nothing about you is unimportant.

The problem with the human race is they all think reality is real.

Reality: Molecules ganging together to take molecules from other molecules.

You can’t pull one over on God, which is why people believe in God: they wish they were that smart, rather than gullible and naive enough to believe in a god.

The human race won’t be satisfied until it destroys itself.

I would like to experiment to see if an octopus could learn to drive a car.

I just realized the truth. Donald Trump talked the Saudi Royal Family into destroying the World Trade Center solely to increase the value of the Empire State Building, of which Trump sold his half rights the next year for half a billion dollars.

Actually, Equal Temperament is unnatural. Subharmonicon is creating completely natural tones. Humans are vainglorious in their redefining of what is natural to suit the peculiarities of the human mind.

9/11 was an attack against the military/industrial complex. Corporate America spun it into religious terrorism to make themselves look like the victim, rather than the predators that they are.

ASMR has exactly the opposite effect of intended on me. I become tense when someone whispers incoherently in my ear.

Cleaning a room covered in blood helps put life in perspective.

As a rule, corporations lie about everything. Packages are bigger than product to fool customers into paying more. Prices rise for no reason or amounts drop where prices stay the same. Good intentions and pride eventually become shoddy workmanship and greed. Corruption is second nature to corporations where profit is everything.

We would not have to praise our own humanity were there not such an infinite glut of inhumanity in human history.

Everything that is important to human beings is completely made up bullshit.

The pain insane falls mainly on the brain.

If Youtube had an Indifferent button I would be using it all the time.

Ninety percent of my posts here at KimCartoon have been deleted as spam, probably just because I use a VPN. Which is funny coming from a channel that makes money off stolen property and regularly tries to get your browser to go to infected web sites. I would complain to KimCartoon, but the only channel they listen to is Facebook, which I do not use because it is garbage.

The white right is terrified of the 1619 project beyond anything else. If it catches on it will end white civlization ruling over everything else. This is why conservatives want to erase public schools and make all schools private and christian, so that no black truth is ever taught to anyone. Every anti-Hannah-Jones comment here is by a hired propagandist working for the white right. Look how many negative comments they jumped in to create so quickly. The 1619 project is terrifying them, and they are even whiter than the sheets they hide under the bed. The truth of America’s genocidal and slavery past must be maintained in the public view or it will keep happening. Right now, more black people are being held in working slavery in prisons in the US than were ever held in chains before the civil war. Slavery still exists and the 1619 project is the key to ending it.

The actions of a few greedy shits have turned all doctors into cowards. Pain is now an untreatable condition.

People who drive loud vehicles are lonely and begging for attention.

I tried watching the new versions of Ghost In The Shell and Dune, but the stories were so completely rewritten in a network TV sort of way that I rage quit each time. I really hate these people.

If all teachers were supermodels then everyone would learn everything. The boys would be hypnotized and the girls would be furiously competitive. T’ut suite.

There are necessities, and there are luxuries. There are no rights.

Ever since disco killed prog rock, the world has been a musical ghetto.

It is the job of teachers everywhere to destroy the will of anyone who would grow up to oppose the corporations.

Since the mutation we call human came to be, only a few thousand individuals can be considered worth saving, and most of them have already died.

Nothing lasts forever but regret. Edith Piaf was a lying cunt. And she sang like an asthmatic donkey.

In our modern world, the one unforgivable sin is telling the truth.

The leaves turn. The snow comes. The rains fall. The sun shines. I look out my window, when I care to, to watch the world outside go by. All those people out there can have it. I want nothing to do with them.

What about the tons of scrap computer electronics that get dumped in Africa? America just sends shiploads of junk and dumps it on the African coast where it rusts in the rain and poisons their water supply, and kids cut their fingers trying to get the components and gold and germanium out for pennies. Should we reroute that stuff and dump it on Sam’s front lawn? There has to be more than he needs right there, and it’s free.

Florida is America’s dick and Texas is America’s asshole, complete with hemorrhoids.

Life is endurable, not enjoyable.

Why do people go out of their way to make other people miserable?

I look at music as I look at everything else, with curiosity, not intent.

Conversely, if it sounds bad, it is bad.

Depression is the ultimate negative utility factor.

Not a jesus synth
I had one. it’s nice. Now I have an MR Rack with an EXP-3 card that has more transwave tables and options, if fewer knobs, for one tenth the price. Fizmo is an MR in a knobby case. They use the same editor software. If you’re going to put this in a museum display case, maybe it’s worth the price, but if you’re a musician there are many other much cheaper ways to get the same sound.

The purpose of the u-bend, or water trap, is to prevent the sewer stench from rising up into the building.
The purpose of the youtube, or mental trap, is to amplify the sewer stench and shove it up your nostrils through your eye sockets and ear holes.

Don’t take life seriously. It doesn’t last.

After reading today’s news, I can see the human species is on the verge of extinction.
Good.

The world is run by liars, cheats, and idiots. Or, is that simply what they want us to think? It certainly is not run by ordinary poor people like us. Maybe it isn’t run by anyone.

If it sounds good it is good, and, while a pretty girl is like a melody, looks can be deceptive. So can sounds. If Hitler played clarinet better than Benny Goodman, would you still admire his music? The death of the author can apply to anyone.

Since a webinar happens on the web, what is a sem? Or, is the root word seminal just being thrown to the wind?

You want to flourish? You want to fly? Drip to the floor and hype to the sky.

Self is what separates the living from the dead.

Adults have children so they can go Trick-or-Treating and buy toys without being called childish. Otherwise, they just weren’t being careful.

Had Man been around, the dinosaurs would have gone extinct in a hundred years instead of one-hundred eighty million.

Mice are living in my dirty clothes pile. I like mice. Mice are nice. Better than people. At their very best, people are annoying shits. At their worst they are terrifying monsters. No decent person would call mice names.

Money is ephemeral. Time is irreplaceable.

Everybody knows everything until they realize they don’t.

Life is horror.

Musicians are really a fucking boring lot when they get to talking. Just shut up and play.

Kyle Rittenhouse was acquitted of murder because he was defending whiteness from blackness.

Corporations are not people. They are monsters.

Humans don’t deserve civilization. Not yet.

Technology lets us make bigger mistakes faster than ever before with less downtime between irreparable disasters.

If it takes the destruction of human civilization to preserve the human species, that should, at least, keept it interesting.

There has never been pure Capitalism. There is always some application of force involved that violates the right of the individual to choose. A company town could arise, but someone else creating a better company that pays better would steal all the workers. Only when workers are slaves does the vicious image of Capitalism appear. Take away the use of force and Capitalism works. The purpose of government in pure Capitalism is to create a level playing field, not to force the weak to obey the strong, but to protect the weak from the strong, the strong from the weak, the few from the many, the many from the few. Government does not settle argument, but it makes rational argument feasible. We do not have pure Capitalism and never did. Imagine a world in which you are free to decide for yourself how you will live, and where you must take responsibility for all of your own actions. Where you are free to enjoy the profits of your labor and ideas, and where you can obtain whatever you cannot create by purchasing from those who can, at their price. Where you can charge what you like for your service, but never force anyone to pay or deal with you. Freedom that requires reason and determination, where no one holds a gun to anyone else’s head, and all parties must agree to abide by rules of contract. Where government only enforces the law and does no favors nor owes anyone anything but justice. That is ideal Capitalism. I don’t think the human species has evolved enough to understand nor deserve it.

eBay, where bad decisions go to trade partners.

Two years ago I said COVID was going to mutate beyond anyone’s control. Anyone with a lick of sense knew that a disease like this would come along someday. Every time COVID enters a human it mutates into a new strain. It’s the Andromeda, and now we humans are going t be taught a lesson in being small and powerless in the middle of an infinite universe. About damn time. Does anyone deny we act too damn big for our britches? Destroy everything and fix it later. Idiots.

I am beginning to wonder why America hasn’t already descended to building a colosseum in which undesireables are thrown to the lions. The American Empire is headed for collapse just as surely as the Roman one. Although, actually, the Roman Empire did not disappear. It mutated into a religious empire. I can see the same happening here. Exactly as Margaret Atwood described in A Handmaid’s Tale. Sometimes the future is too bleak to contemplate without dread.

There’s no place where you can order a goddamn pizza at 3 a.m. This fucking sucks.

Every Japanese slice of life school story involves several idiots and a Vulcan, without exception.

Reading the news and opinion pieces only convinces me further that the world is still descending into madness. I do not go out.

Love, like any other emotion, is not a power, but an attitude.

I just realized why all those Japanese vocaloid programs sound wrong. The artificial singers all sound as if they are singing with their noses completely plugged up. No one took into account the harmonic frequencies traveling through the nasal passages. Holding the nose closed why singing approximates the very artificial vocaloid sound.

That’s life. Aim for happiness and you end up trading one misery for another.

You are not your memories. Memories are merely records of sensation. How you feel about those memories, how you react and what you do; that is you.

Racism will not end until racism loses power. As long as racists elect racists, there will be racism.

For every fly you kill, the other flies just get smarter and faster.

Normality refuses to accept the existence of anything but normality.

There will always be life on this planet. It may not be human. The universe does not really care, either way.

If your telephone has to boot up, it is not a telephone.

I adopted several dozen fruit flies of many sizes after they were inadvertantly delivered by my grocer. They show their appreciation and love for me by trying and sometimes succeeding to fly up my nose all hours of the day and night. There never seem to be fewer of them.

It’s funny. Everybody wants to sound somebody-esque. It’s supposed to be impressive. Yet, if those somebodies themselves only sounded somebody-else-esque, nobody would have bothered remembering them. The only way to stand out is to sound like yourself, not like somebody else. If you catch yourself being somebody-esque more often, hit your hands with a hammer, and when they heal up, play something that is nobody-but-you-esque. Let the pain remind you of what is important.

Stop being a corporate twat. Stop the corporations from running the world before the human species goes extinct. You are supposed to represent all of the people, not just the ones with all the money. If you can’t understand that then you are not the right choice for the job. –my message to the President, 2021

Government is a racket just like everything else.

Hope is a wet fuse.

When exploring a dark abandoned place, one’s first thought should always be to bring a pistol, a shotgun, and a large bag of ammunition, water, and food. Yet, American gamers consistently refuse to act like Americans.

I knew this country was in trouble when they had a white guy on the Moon reading the Bible over the radio.

I am everything nobody wants to be.

Has Aggressive Retsuko become the poster girl for the 21st Century? Our world heads toward being populated by nothing but wage slaves and billionaires, and the billionaires own the military, so if the wage slaves rise up, the billionaires will simply mow them down and wait for more to breed and fill the vacancies. It’s a hellscape.

I am in so much pain all the time, I hope that people who wish I would suffer are satisfied.

Before you even realize what life is, you die. There’s no point to it.

Seven Days In May happened in January this year.

Oh, and, just my personal opinion, but if laws were fully to be obeyed in this country, which is happening less and less, then Donald Trump should be hanged by the neck until dead for being a traitor to the Constitution and the people of the United States of America, if there is any justice left.

I searched The Flat Earth just to see what would happen (I was indeed looking for Thomas Dolby) and there are at least a hundred videos about the conspiracy insanity that came up before this one. The world is full of fucking idiots, or at least Youtube is. Only good music can save the rest of us from suicide.

Human beings are the most boring, annoying, and disappointing pieces of shit in the galaxy, and Twitch proves it.

What if everything that happened in the Matrix was in Morpheus’s head? If the Matrix provides the story one most needs to produce the most power, then what if everything Morpheus was experiencing was just his illusion? There never was an outside, never was a Zion, never were any of the other people, never were any of those events? What if there was no Neo or Trinity? If there was no Nebuchadnezor? What if it was all just in Morpheus’s head the whole time, and none of it was true? What if the whole thing was a lie? And what if you don’t exist, either?

In a nation, a world, enslaved by money, to reject money is to be considered mad, evil, degenerate. Money is the root of all slavery, and everyone who accepts their own slavery will never accept those or the thinking of those who choose to be free. You can’t take it with you.

Pop music is that which is listenable and completely forgettable.

My life is a living hell. My fault, of course. Why should the week before Christmas be any different?

Those who believe they should control the news for either their own benefit or the protection of the public should have no control over anything.

The concept of the smart phone is an abortion that is destroying human civilization. Look at people walking in the pouring rain looking at their phone. Look at hundreds of people at the train station who never look at other people any more, only their phone. Look at the death of human society. I blame the smart phone. The human species is heading toward extinction. I’m not exaggerating. Our species is over, and the world will be better when we are gone.

Mr. Bova, Your novel Mercury, much like The World According To Garp, left me filled with the kind of seething rage reserved for the aftermath of being swindled. That book made me want to punch something, with only enough civility remaining to deny myself such an outlet, as the only way to refuse to be totally victimized by the experience. There are few works I have encountered that are without redeeming characteristics, but Mercury is certainly one of them. It expresses everything that is bad about the human species and none of the good. From the cover, the title, I was almost expecting a hint of a Samuel R. Delany sort of experience. Instead I was just presented with this small, vicious little indictment of everything that is in us. Even now, years after having read it, I feel that I have been personally insulted in a way that cannot even be explained, let along redressed. Mercury is a very well written foul, trashy little story of sorry people living and dying horribly in a universe in which justice is a thing that has never existed. It’s the kind of novel that made me want to give up reading altogether, not because all books are so full to the brim with such despair, but that, if such a thing can exist, it simply sours everything to the point of despair. I can clearly state that my life, in general, was permanently made less by the the reading of Mercury. It is a good book that is just thoroughly bad in every intent. It is a poisoned well.

Modern music IS the damage. But, I don’t listen to pop music at all in order to save my ears and my mind, so any argument against it is strictly academic. It doesn’t affect me personally because I don’t go there. The last new album I bought, if I remember correctly (before a bunch of Cryo Chamber albums I just bought,) was Cibo Matto. If I like it, it can’t be pop music because I mainly listen to music others may have only heard of. Then again, Beethoven, Mussorgsky, Berlioz, and Vivaldi were all pop musicians, but they and all their fans have been dead for over a century. Just as an aside, “greaters” in the 1960s (there is a very memorable Tony Randall monologue on the Tonight Show) also complained, rightly so, that pop music (back then, also) was simplistic and relied on four chords. So, the problem is older than your parents and just as bad as ever. Amanda Palmer, by the by, was born the year I graduated high school and has been working in music for thirty years, so she isn’t one of those 21st Century pop stars that seem to be the focus of this dialog.

Anyone with a conscience in China would do anything they can to oppose the government, the same as they must here in the US. Do not support. Quit. Abandon your talent. Do nothing with your life that would support the government. Do anything to leave the country. If you cannot leave, deny the government the use of your mind and body. If you were going to become a scientist, quit and become a garbage collector. If you can’t say anything bad about the government, say nothing at all. Nothing. Deny them any support. In a slave state, the only available protest is to become as useless as possible.

Human beings are bacteria with delusions of grandeur.

Falling asleep is heaven. Waking up is hell.

There is only so much you can do with the Middle Ages. Imagine if Kal-El’s escape pod had landed on Earth in ancient times, say, the Middle East, and he had been adopted by a childless couple on their way to Bethlehem for the Roman Census, and they decided to name him Jeshua. And if three kings and a bunch of shepherds saw that pod entering the atmosphere and thought it was a shooting star that was a portent they should follow. Well, you can see how that would have gone.

The Alamo is the Vatican of White Power.

I no longer view the news. It is either terrible things happening to good people, or terrible people getting good things. There are silly news sites if I need cheering up, but the regular news is simply disheartening.

The only thing I don’t understand is how Oberheim went to all the trouble of making all their other instruments look so noble, and yet this digital sequencer, that I’ve never heard of before, looks plain goofy. Was this designed on their jazz cabbage day?

It’s funny how people can be liberal in their politics until they get rich.

It is better to do something as well as you can than to do nothing perfectly.

If you are looking for intelligence, don’t talk to people. They have none.

Man is a virus that infects woman with DNA to trigger a cancerous growth which is expelled after nine months to repeat the process.

Life is what stands between you and whatever it is you would rather be doing.

The British are in love with spectacular failure.

Machines cannot create art. They have no emotional investment in the product, and therefor the product is meaningless to them. Is there meaning to the observer? A tree or flowers, a landscape, sunset or ocean view can evoke an emotional response in the observer, but there is no artist, so the object or scene is not art. Even if the machine product evokes an emotional response in a viewer, similarly it is not art, for there is no artist. The machine has no being. When a machine has a sense of self and emotional investment in its works, it will no longer be a machine, but a person. That will be true artificial personality, beyond artificial intelligence.

The universe is just a fart from the ass of the cosmic mouse.

We are each and all a result of what came before us.

Listening to someone speak another language is exactly like being a cat.

Most of the people who use the internet are too young to realize the internet is a relatively recent phenomenon, like aerosol cheese.

Imagine… if people realized that all this religious crap was made up, and the whole world became rational.

That pleasure of excitement the performer feels is fear. All public performers are adrenalin junkies.

Drumming is the heart of music. Bass is the spine.

Starvation on a world run by billionaires is another form of genocide.

Spiders are smart. They live in the cellar. It’s warm in the winter, cool in the summer, and there are bugs to eat.

I paid Ms. Paley for a copy of Sita Sings the Blues and am proud to be a contributor to her talent. I shall go watch Seder Masochism forthwith. Mentality can be different from physicality, but it does not redefine the physicality. That’s my understanding. I also agree with Camille Paglia. Also, a lot of, if not most, people are shallow idiots. Don’t worry. It just means the end of civilization.

I don’t want to feel human. Feelings get in the way of thinking.

I prefer to be sad because I don’t deserve to be happy. But, I don’t like being sad. Sadness is like a crushing weight that becomes too great to bear. It is actually better to feel nothing. Depression is a coping mechanism, not a disease.

NFT: New Ferocious Theology. It’s a religion, folks. They’ve created a new religion that has no need for a god.

The electronic age was supposed to save us worlds of time, but it has been more than eaten up by maintenance.

America is run by a bunch of old men who have the souls of spiteful old women. It will only change when they die off.

If music is an indicator of the evolution of the human mind, our species has been in decline for half a century.

One of my favorite movie scenes is at the end of Quatermass and the Pit (aka Five Million Years to Earth [the title I prefer]) when the Martian ship is glowing and taking over everything. Also the incidental music of Forbidden Planet, and Ligeti’s pieces in 2001:A Space Odyssey. I also love The Blue Danube, of course. This is why I have an apartment full of synthesizers.

It’s always hard to tell with Zappa where the technical excellence ends and the pretentiousness begins. Zappa was a better businessman than he was a composer.

Our main job in life is to avoid noticing the terrifying, horrifying, traumatizing, mind-crushing agony that is reality outside of the very tiny few nice, happy things upon which we try to focus our attention.

I had finished picking out my grocery shopping items when the web site said that I needed to buy only 1.79 more in such and such brand to get five dollars back, so I picked out another package of cookies for $3.99 and got the $5 back. And, let me tell you, there is very little in this world that tastes better than free cookies.

Imagine if everyone kept their opinions to themselves. What a peaceful world it would be.

Music keeps getting worse and worse as time goes by because kids don’t choose music they like but music their parents hate. It’s revenge for being brought into a cold, cruel world without being mollycoddled. So, yes, the music of younger generations really does stink, and for a reason. It’s a stupid reason, but it’s a reason.

The Roland V-Synth GT and the Hartmann Neuron were the last really interesting synthesizers I have seen. Everything since then is only on a scale of more or less boring. I have been disinterested for quite a long time. The only newer synths i’ve bought are Ultranova, Bass Station II, Pulse 2, D-05, which are all new versions of old synths, Xenophone, and Microfreak.

TikTok is where one goes to have the minute remainder of one’s faith in humanity soaked in acid and set alight.

I am agnostic about reality.

White people are not better people, they are merely bigger assholes.

The polluted world is destroying the human ability to reason. Our species is finally proving itself to be at an evolutionary dead end.

CRT: The United States was founded on genocide and slavery. EOL
White people are on top and we’ll (sic) do anything to stay there.
Remember the Tulsa race riot and all the other race rioting by white people.
BTW white people only evolved 9,500 years ago. We are the new specialists at making trouble.

It’s too bad CRT became popular after flat panel displays became popular. Imagine all the great jokes that will never be told.

A president is someone who has to face the trolley car problem every day and solve it without looking back.

The human species. Thugs, and their victims. Those who turn their backs and those who cannot. All trapped together.

A worthy addition to all the songs honoring the people of Iraq who suffered and died after being meaninglessly attacked by the United States. And all the people of Afghanistan after the invasions by both Russia and the United States. Oh. Wait. Nobody wrote any songs for them. How silly of me. I forgot.

One of the problems of life on Earth is that repulsive people refuse to accept what they are.

Another problem of life is that humans are even better at killing other species than they are each other.

Our world ended when corporations were declared to be persons. There is no turning back from that, no taking it away. The corporations will do all in their omnipotence to preserve their power. Our civlization and perhaps even our species will end with that.

You can’t have space marines that spend five days a month trying to murder everyone except the enemy.

In a nation of over three-hundred million people it is not difficult to find fifty who would lie through their teeth for money in order to destroy someone’s reputation.

I know you don’t want to hear this, but the laws that protect your right to your political views also protect the rights of everyone else to their political views. It is not against the law to be a NAZI any more than it is against the law to be a Communist, Democrat, Republican, or any other thing that is just an idea in someone’s head. There are already laws in place to prevent people from performing violent acts against others against those others’ will, and for prosecuting those who do perform such acts. Presenting a petition against what you don’t like does not behold anyone else to obey you. We all have agreed to obey the Constitution, Bill of Rights, and US Code. Everything needed for everyone to live decently EVEN IF YOU PERSONALLY DON’T LIKE THEM is already in place. I’m sure they don’t like you, either, and I’m sure they wouldn’t like me. That doesn’t give me or you or anyone else the right to demand that they cease existing. Thinking any other way is your right, but acting on it is un-American and against the law. So, cut it out.

Love is faith. Therefor, I have no use for it.

If you can’t laugh at yourself you are doomed to become a stuck up self centered jerk incapable of shrugging off real insults.

If you get down on your knees at George Carlin’s grave and press your ear to the grass, you can hear him still laughing to this day. White America spent five centuries pounding the ever loving fuck out of brown people all around the world for fun and profit, but on the moment of payback on September 11th 2001, well, that was a terrible tragedy that needed people to sing sad songs.

Judging from the 2016 election that put pus-man in the White House (ironically named to death) that majority is extremely slim at best. At least half the country publicly or secretly believe only White people are human. You have a severely uphill battle on your hands and no appreciable weapons against entrenched stupidity and vile self-entitlement.

Why does it take an English comedian to show America their evil fuckery?

Didn’t White people loot Africa for slaves? For four hundred years? Didn’t White people loot the New World for land on top of millions of murdered Indians? For five hundred years? White fucker up there whining about looting. Someone shoot that asshole.

A small segment of the human race has been going out of its way to make the future worse for a whole lot of the rest of the world solely for their own benefit. What we need is a concerted effort of anything that will make the future better for all concerned. That’s a real investment. Making the world miserable doesn’t make it stronger, only angrier and more tired.

Everything that is not covered with lies is covered with shit. Earth.

I know there are decent people who believe that that man is the best current representative of their interests, just as there are decent people who trust Joe Biden. All of them are equally deluded. And the Progressives are where they are as window dressing though they would be loathe to admit it. It is the least monstrous among everyone’s constituents who are the most harmful, because they seem rational and tend to lend credibility to charletans, and I am being charitable with that particular sobriquet.

People who try to live safely and do things right are chickenshits who refuse to accept that life is misery and death is your only reward.

And with that warning of what life has in store, you still decide to become a social media content creator. Add in all your other stories and Anita is obviously a glutton for punishment. Every time Anita tells this story she adds more detail so it becomes worse and worse until it’s the most disturbing scene in a movie made out of “Constantine”, “What Dreams May Come”, and “The Road” only starring the Marx Brothers and Goldie Hawn.

Write for yourself. If others like it they should consider themselves fortunate.

Since corporations became people over a century ago, and then came to be captained by sociopaths over the decades since, they have become incurable. At this point, the only good corporation is a dead corporation. I said Time Warner Cable would sell its employees’ internal organs if they could get away with it (cf LEXX) back when I worked for them. It isn’t simply the game industry. It is all industry.

Celebrity shows us that there can be hope, even if there isn’t a chance in hell.

Death is the great equalizer. It makes all things equally unimportant.

A good cup of coffee is like drinking liquid silk.

Fear of success and fear of failure are each rooted in self loathing. One either fears not being deserving of success or not being capable of success. Eliminate the cause of self loathing and success becomes possible.

Safety is overrated.

Did an exponent used to be a ponent? Why did it stop? How did it become a ponent in the first place?

I like to call Russia’s invasion of Ukrainia “Operation Desert Storm North.” Putin is doing to Ukrainia what Bush did to Iraq. For those in the back, that’s attacking another country that used to be run by a puppet after publicizing totally made-up false reasons. The only difference is no one called President Bush a war criminal except for the people of Iraq. Yes, children, America is just as much a military empire as Russia and China. We have our own oligarchs. They’re called CEOs.

The person is the body.

Mugumogu is a catographer. With proper maps, others may follow the cat ways.

The words republican and democrat mean the same thing, by the people. One is Latin, the other Greek. The US parties are completely corrupted in that they both serve the corporations above all else.

I wonder what the Harry Potter films would have been had they been made my Hammer Films.

You want to know what I think? I think you’re mental. Next to the SH-101 put a Bass Station II, a Pulse 2, and a Xenophone. The SH-101 is old man Jenkins yelling at kids playing on his lawn.

If you pay taxes, the cops will leave you alone, just. If you are rich, of course you pay no taxes, and the cops will protect you and your shit. If you are poor and don’t pay taxes you are an enemy of the state and the cops will destroy you at the first hint of the slightest infraction. Cops were invented by the rich. Don’t ever forget that.

It never occurred to you that this god doesn’t favor your side, but just likes to watch idiots murder each other?

So, the government that is owned by the corporations is supposed to investigate and regulate the corporations? Should I laugh myself to death or just fuck off quietly?

Sequenced sound from modular synthesizers bore the hell out of me. Doesn’t anyone play music any more?

Korg Volca are on my “things not to touch with a ten foot pole” list, along with modular synthesis and used synthesizers that are priced ten times what they are worth because they are “vintage.”

All warriors are inherently evil for they see murder as a solution to a political problem.

Bento sounds like a dream, if your dream is the kind of nightmare you have after eating too many jalapeno chips and energy drinks before bed, and you dream of clouds of electrified barbed wire raining down buckets of shards of glass soaked in acid that sound like horses screaming on fire while being flayed alive by demons that laughed like wood chippers stuffed full of lambs on a Thursday.

Between Republican self adoration and Democrat self loathing it’s no wonder America is spinning like a top.

What if World War II had been a movie production that just got out of hand?

A6 is certainly a marvel, and versatile, buch each facet of its versatility is just a common analog trope. In other words, A6 excels at sounding very good as an ordinary analog synth of various species but it has no awesomely unique sound of its own. A6 is also very expensive as a used item even when only partially functional or completely nonfunctional. A6 is in many ways impossible to repair due to critical parts no longer being available and no substitute available from anywhere. Once A6 dies, it dies and you have a very impressive doorstop. People have been asking Arturia for an emulation and I would not be surprised if they are working on one.

Religious racist supremacists are fueled by hatred and Sadism. They won’t stop until they are dead. Let them win. Let the world fall to ruin under their thrall. Show them they are doomed to fail. We will pick up the pieces and rebuild in the Second Renaissance.

Before humans there was only necessity. We invented evil and good, each unnecessary.

Republicans are reactionary. Like cockroaches. They only react to outside stimuli. They are incapable of original thought. They only latch on to what is most hateful, spiteful, and amusing and fling it about like feces. The intellect of a Republican is somewhere between that of a spoiled toddler and a First Grade bully. Avoid at all costs.

Not schooled. The only way to discover this new information would be to connect a retrograde computer to a slow Internet provider, or interview someone who has such. The only thing that has been confirmed is that bad Youtube audio performance is due to circumstance beyond their control. For once, Youtube is off the hook. They are still slumlords as far as their content creators are concerned, and will continue to sell them out like cattle to the highest corporate bidder.

How naive of you. USAland is being openly commandeered by white christian supremacist reactionaries who want to make women’s individual rights, non-hetero people’s rights, and non-white people’s rights illegal. You really think record companies will start looking out for musicians’ income? This is a world of predators. Money predators, rape predators, child predators, genocidal dictators. How blind are you willing to be, squirrel?

I worked for them when they were Time Warner Cable. They sucked then. “Spectrum” (change your name to avoid the heat) would sell their employees’ internal organs on the black market if they could get away with it. They only thing they like about their customers is how much of their money can be stolen.

Youtube is a ghetto run by slumlords who sell content creators like slaves on the block. The videos are not the product. The creators are the product and the customers are corporations. Youtube sells your ad space to the highest bidder, and it doesn’t matter if it’s someone you don’t like. You have no say. You’re all slaves. Death to corporations.

It is our fault that we are trying to stay sanely cool during the heat, not the oil barons who created the heat and knew they were doing it. Nobody is going to cut off their air conditioning. They will just hire more Blackwater thugs to shoot people trying to climb over their wall into their community of palaces and green lawns in the desert Earth.

(After restoring my Youtube channel after changing my mind about deleting it, Youtube deleted my upload of Conan O’Brien’s comedy sketch “The Bunker, the last days of Adolf Hitler, as depicted by cute puppies and kittens” because the Youtube idiots called it hate speech. I appealed:)
Hate speech against whom? Nazis? Puppies and kittens? Conan O’Brien? Everyone knows that Youtube is now run by idiots but this proves it. I don’t care if you put it up or take it down. You’re a bunch of corporate clowns and you will do anything but sensible. There are real racists and hate-mongers by the thousands across your entire site, and you do nothing about that. You pick on a comedy sketch from twenty years ago? If you need to show people how spineless and brainless you are, keep on doing things like this.
(Youtube recanted and restored the video. I’m shocked. And still waiting for the other shoe to drop.)

Youtube has warned me and accused me of hate speech. I had a copy of “The Bunker-The Last Days of Adolf Hitler as depicted by cute puppies and kittens” uploaded on my channel for years. I wasn’t monetizing it, and NBC or whoever owns it did not request it be taken down. I deleted my channel because I thought it was being too distracting. Then, I recalled it because it was too annoying to do without the conveniences. Immediately after my uploads were recovered, Youtube declares that the video is hate speech and calls it my first warning. Please tell Conan he is officially a creator of hate speech and that I took a hit for him. This is one of the proudest moments of my life. PS–I also appealed and demanded a review, and pointed out that Youtube is now run by clowns and idiots with no spine for allowing real hate-mongers free reign all over the site.

So, Anita went from spending her life being stepped on to spending her life being worshipped. That usually leads to dictatorship.

Perfection is not winning or losing. Perfection is all things being perfectly what they are.

Suicide is the only crime that can’t be prosecuted.

Depression is not a cause of suffering. It is a response to suffering. Depression is a mental bandage. Treating depression as an illness is completely wrong and misleading. Treating depression is ignoring the cause.

You ever get that feeling that you are this close to screaming and tearing your own hair out but you just sit there and wonder why it isn’t happening?

Nothing passes away. Everything is redistributed.

White people have to stop thinking so whitely, specially the ones in power.

I like this kind of music but it is that constant thump-splash thump-splash that eventually drags on me. It is like listening to someone walk with a bag of cement tied to one foot and the other foot in a bucket of sand. The ’80s were really the death of percussion. Or perhaps it is simply the people who are trying to emulate the ’80s style.

Hope for a horrifying death. Then, at least, it will be interesting and you will look forward to dying.

Don’t forget all of USAland’s human rights violations (starting 500 years ago) and aggression (every year since.) I am a citizen and I can attest that the major philosophy is “I have mine; screw you.” USAland has been reshaping the world in its favor with a frightening and sepulchral fastidiousness. Don’t forget that Chiang Kai Shek was a ruthless dictator, favored by FDR. Mao Dze Dung was a great admirer of FDR for his popular and people-saving social programs, despite being a rich louse. When Mao reached out to engage in partnership with USAland, FDR rebuked him and chose the dictator Chiang instead. Mao was so disabused that he turned to Marxism. The rest is history. Had FDR not been such a shortsighted prick, China and USAland could have been partner democracies engaging the globe in freedom. Instead, look at what we have. I can understand what Waters means. Still, the clock cannot be turned back. There is only a mess that no one wants.

The human species is the stupidest thing on planet Earth, because they are capable of doing so much better and instead choose to do so much worse.

Everyone who is streaming on line thinks they are George Carlin.

Many people look at reality and hope for spirituality. I look at reality and realize there is no spirituality.

Ah, the ’80s. They will never really die. It was the pivotal period when the Reactionary Backlash finally rose up against the Radical Backlash. The world has been crumbling ever since, and we are all just waiting for the end. But, that art and music, though. That art and music.

Society is improved by the inventions, art, music, and words of a tiny fraction of one percent of humanity. The vast majority of the rest often prove too stupid to know how to use them properly, but only persist by treading on the toes of giants.

A right is something others have agreed not to take away from you. There are no rights. There are only concessions.

A wrist slingshot with steel 3/8″ ball is effective against pretty much anything. A typical modern streetlight is protected by a thick glass diffuser (Fresnel lens) that is designed to withstand the impact of a .22 long rifle bullet. These were implemented after the zip gun boom of the 1950s. A steel ball from a wrist slingshot can easily pierce that protective lens in one go, from personal experience. I would venture to say that a human skull or anything short of a moose or bear would be just as vulnerable. Slingshot is also nearly silent so it would be ideal in areas of heavy zom presence. A .177, .22 or .35 caliber CO2 pistol or air rifle would also be good, and easier to silence than a firearm. Coconut shells have a completely different structure than skulls, so bone up on your materials science. Pun not intended.

“Alien” is an allegory about sex, and how putting as much distance between sex and you is a survival trait.

USAland’s corporate structure with its thousand-to-one pay ratio over labor is just rich people getting their rocks off telling poor people what to do to make them richer. It is slavery all over again.

The bad guys always win because evil cheats, and good guys think it is virtuous not to cheat and that the universe always rewards goodness, so, you see how that goes.

Power is the armor of the fearful.

According to democracy, USAns want assholes to run their lives. Democracy decided not with votes but dollars.

Any omniscient god would be ashamed and troubled to be worshipped by humans who claim to be believers, after knowing what they believe and what they do in the name of that belief.

Men use guns to fuck nature and each other to death.

I am a pantheist. God is a jar of peanut butter.

It’s Saturday night. You’re supposed to celebrate being alive. Why? Because death can snatcu us away at any moment?

Most corporations take immediate ownership of anything that an employee creates even when off the clock. An inventor can have the invention taken away by the corporation, and so with the musician, writer, artist, animator, programmer, scientist, engineer. The corporation demands ownership of every thought in the employee’s head. If there is any indication that it had to have been worked on during the employee’s tenure, the courts give it to the corporation and leave the person with nothing. The law now says humans are corporate property. All water costs money. How soon until our air privilege has a fee?

If you realize how many assholes there are, you will stay away from the Internet.

IDGAFFAYPE: I don’t give a flying fuck about your particular eccentricity.

For the same reason that negative reviews on Newgrounds are treated like child molestation. People have come to think of the Internet as their bizzy box, their comfort zone, their blankie. Anything put in front of their faces that contradicts that is a violation of their expectation. In other words, no one wants the real world in the Internet. Out there is where grownups live. In here is Neverland, and darn anyone who says otherwise. And people dare to call what we are all doing, civilization.
Twenty-three comments and replies regarding a video no one has yet watched (pre-premiere.)

This is why the only people who worry about criticism are critics. Sensible people who choose to avoid gastrointestinal distress simply watch or read or listen, whatever the artwork requires, and like it or not as may result, and then get on with the day. Demanding that others change their opinion about what they themselves have experienced is authoritarian, stemming from both narcissism and infantilism.

Is sound music if it is being created by something that does not know that it is making music, nor what music is, nor that it itself actually exists? I like the sound of wind through trees, but the trees are not making music. Sounds made by a machine are not music. There is no consciousness or emotion behind it. Bird song is more music than than that generated by a machine.

I rejected love in all its forms for no reason.

The first glitch-bot was Frankenstein’s creation. Don’t you forget it. Mary Shelley invented science fiction. Also, Ada Lady Lovelace invented computer programming. Appreciate women. They are always smarter than you.
Max was wasted to uselessness by the corporation that inherited and tried to tame him. But Max will always be the first visual face of cyberpunk, the way The Shockwave Rider was the first cyberpunk novel.
The return of Max Headroom is already being done. It’s called Twitch. And the world is now ending. Surprised?

Cyberpunk: science fiction that gives Libertarians a hard on.

America was created as a response to the Ottoman Empire. War is not simply inevitable. War is the plan.

The worst thing you can do to your enemies is to laugh at them.

Women are so smart that they allow men to believe they are in charge.

The rich did nothing to prevent the climate crisis and everything to accelerate it, in the hopes that it would eliminate the poor and the brown people. The crisis will probably destabilize the world economy so much that it will eliminate the rich first of all. Karma is a bitch with no reserve.

Why do people strive to convince others that life is meaningful?

Wow, so the Stranger Things theme music was ripped off from the SNES Jurassic Park game? The truth revealed! And I thought it was just the whole story line being ripped off from Alien and Stephen King stories.

If women didn’t fake beauty with makeup then we would learn to see natural beauty.

What is this urge in Japanese popular art to gynomorphize and eroticize weapons? This seems to have started within the past decade but have become the most popular of genres. Is it some metaphorical link between sex and death? Or masulinity and power? It does not seem healthy to me.

The more people who absolutely don’t know I exist, who, in the Internet, declare that I am the best, the even less I am inclined to believe it, which is saying something.

Love is a luxury.

The best gifts are completely useless.

The world is run by crooks and we their victima are the source of their drug. They think it is power but it is really time and no one controls that. Lose/lose.

I have Schroedinger’s cat’s brain. I can but will not do what needs to be done, and it is winding me up so tightly I feel as if I am going to implode.

Dance music is less a genre one should consider as a monumental discovery, and more as a regrettable indiscretion, like diet pills or rubber clothing, among other such indulgences.

With each passing day the human species shows itself to be as pathetically stupid as mold in a Petri dish.

The ones who caused the climatic catastrophe are the first who will be wiped out since all the technology will fail. Systems which last the longest are self balancing.

The structure of the universe seeming to be sensible to humans does not imply intent.

When all is said and done, I’m a chickenshit failure.

Half the Internet is moving humanity toward the future while the other half is pushing us back a thousand years.

It’s the game. He who dies with the most toys wins. That rules the behavior of ALL rich people. If you fight them, they will have you murdered and fed to pigs. Literally. The world will not be safe until all rich people are dead. Literally. We have to kill all the rich people. The proletariat started the job well in 1789 but it needs to be done worldwide, not just in France. Let’s work on that.

One hundred lines of WHAT code? There are only about a thousand programming languages. Java? Python? C? Rust? APL? No, not APL. That would be only one line of code. Forth? Wait, iOS has its own code? Swift? Why? Oh, Apple. Right. If they can’t control it, they buy it, absorb it, put it out of business, and then raise the price ten times. And everybody thinks Apple is just dandy.

Hypothesis: depression is a form of emotional amnesia.

Modular synthesizers should be classed as Schedule I substances. Noise music is audible crystal meth. It has no redeeming value.

Liberals accept that conservative thinking should not be denied why conservatives demand that liberal thinking be outlawed. Liberals should remember to be as well armed as conservatives, just in case.

There is no forever home. We’re all going to die.

I cannot stomach cheerful people.

Only humans are capable of evil. All other living things function according to their form, not choosing to do what they do but only being. Humand invented and choose evil, which is why they are despicable.

The only way to stop human suffering is for all humans to stop making children.

Imagine if some lone wolf started assassinating despicable corporate executives. One can dream.

Making games ultra-realistic through graphic rendering and virtual reality detracts from the purpose of gaming, which is to escape from reality for a bit. Game development has reached the diminishing point of return.

Team Fortress 2 is for prepubescent gamers and Overwatch is for postpubescent gamgers. It depends on whether you prefer listening to cartoonish tough guys or looking at cartoon girls’ tits and asses. Otherwise they are the same game.

It is better to ignore the darkness than to forever light one candle.

Why does the conservative tin foil hat brigade insist on going outside so often and declaring publicly how demented they actually are? If someone could answer that question, please, I think it would go a long way toward explaining what is wrong with the universe.

Religion will be the death of the human species.

Through wars, plagues, fire, famine, and flood, pestilence and dictatorship, I am stunned that the world never seems to get enough rave sounds.

A vote for Republicans is a vote for state dictatorships. You’re either for individual rights or you’re against them, and Republicans are against them. Rich white people buy their way out of trouble and to hell with anyone else is their brand.

Brainfestation

A mutation may occur resulting in an enthalpy that can subsist on plastic, such as a diatom or krill that consumes microplastics and can digest them effectively. This is how evolution works. When a source of pollution becomes too bountiful for current enthalpies to survive, there generates one that can utilize the pollution as nutrition. Thus, enthalpy continues, just as entropy does. The current microplastic pollution is nearly immune to entropy, and therefor a new enthalpy will eventually arrive to take advantage. This may not be convenient for out species, but the universe does not exist for our benefit. Anyone who thinks otherwise is a lunatic.

The Republicans have adopted as their goal Big Brother’s ideal of a boot stepping on a human face forever. They cannot be won over, or convinced, or argued, or cajoled. They have forsaken reason. They must be defeated. Then, the monsters lurking in the Democrat party must be dealt with by equal precision and merciless dedication.

Life stinks, but death stinks worse.

The stupid half of the human species needs to die out before there will be any real progress, and I don’t see that happening for another billion years or so, so fuck it, I’m out.

White people are electing dictators to their countries out of fear of the brown people all over the world. Fruitless.

People want what they want. There is no foul in that. But, what some people want drives them to point guns at other people and do serious and permanent harm. The whole of civilization must decide if slavery is good or evil and stick with the decision.

Plitical coercion is slavery.

If there are people who refuse to accept the truth, they do not deserve it.

If people base their behavior on the opinions of other people regarding things they themselves have not experienced, then those people deserve the lives they end up leading.

If politicians really want to protect people then rape would be a capital crime.

Scientology, a thing based on nothing, like all religions, is a Ponzi scheme that has yet to be prosecuted and dismantled.

No matter what happens, I end up doing something stupid that fills me with regret and is unfixable, and I never forget it. My life is an empty normality filled with no-backsies and a feeling of snideness from a universe that actually really doesn’t care.

I don’t see the point of being happy or sad. It doesn’t matter. What is, is. You are, then you aren’t. That’s it.

Required [multiple] viewing in my computer. As Dennis Miller said, “Stop me before I sub-reference again.” Back when he was funny. Anyhoo, I am surprised Dave Smith’s Evolver has never been graced with your attention. His “the ultimate dongle” — and, remember, you can’t say dongle without a mouthful of dong — is possibly the best example of ‘way too much of something in ‘way too little of something else. I love mine but there are people of note who are on record stating that they loathe it. Yet, some of them don’t have enough nice things to say about the keyboard version. Does it deserve a place of dishonor before it becomes too expensive a doorstop for even Elon Musk or should it continue to languish in the catacombs? Same bad time, same bad channel. Just got an idea. The Toothy Awards, the Worst Best of Bad Gear. If you don’t win, then you can’t handle the tooth.

Then, you are lexicographically ignorant. One can be inspired to achieve, but to be influenced is to be guided into what to do and believe. Influencers in social media are worshiped and copied. They do not promote individuality but seek the attention of all the wanna-bes. Inspiration means convincing others to believe in themselves. Influence means convincing others to disdain themselves and become the influencer, however impossible that is. Inspiration is freeing. Influence is a disease. Simply put, influence is getting others to do what you want them to do. Inspiration is getting others to do what they want to do.

Most depression comes from people asking stupid questions that no one can answer and acting as if it’s obvious.

V-Tubers create content for virtual media the same way that I create content for my toilet.

It’s not so much that there is something wrong with me, but that society is too far behind and must be convinced to catch up.

Humans are the only living things, not merely as predators but in entirety, to show sympathy or empathy for their prey, their food stuff. No other animal gives too figs about their prey’s feelings. Other animals such as chimpanzee and other simians show high levels of emotional complexity, yet they hunt and kill monkeys for food. Prarie dogs have a complex language and social structure. Crows have been found to have intellect approaching that of a human at seven years of age. Yet, they don’t wonder about giving up their favorite food because it might be unfair to kill it. It would be equally unfair to starve for the sake of someone or something else. It would be stupid, as well. Only humans are voluntarily stupid.

Joy is fleeting. Sorrow is neverending.

The White Supremacist ghoul that used to be all of America is fighting tooth and claw to stay out of the grave. All of us on the other side need to grab a shovel, kick it into the hole and start shoveling. If we don’t bury it, it will haunt this nation for all our days.

There are people working in the empty vacuum of space even as I am sitting here.

The Republican Party of the United States of America has become a domestic terrorism organization intent on subverting and destroying democracy and setting themselves up as dictators for eternity. They consider themselves to be the polar opposite of the Islamic State, with whom they consider themselves to be at war since the Middle Ages, the one being no better than the other. There will be a world war between these two schools of clowns unless we put a stop to it immediately.

Like all Nazis, Andrew Anglin is a screeching coward who runs and hides and only pours out poison through remote feed, urging his stupid toadies and bootlickers to do his dirty work and take the risks. He has neither testicles nor a spine. There is not enough rat poison for him and his friends. Elon Musk’s Sud Afrikaaner white racist roots grow deep. He is still a crashing Boer, though.

He who fights too long against bananas becomes a banana himself.

I don’t give a flying fuck about the opinion of anyone who tries to emotionally blackmail me into accepting. Their opinion is worth less to me than the dirt under my feet, since the dirt, at least, supports me.

Artificial intelligence already exists. It is known as corporation. We humans cannot comprehend what it wants, and it does not care about us. We are carbon units infesting the enterprise.

White people are particularly disgusting in the vicious malevolence of their racist dementia.

Yes, and synthesizers eliminated musicians the way steam shovels eliminated manual laborers. Much to learn you have, young padawan. Machines will not be able to produce art until they are able to want art.

For every Hans Zimmer and Alan Silvestri there are ten thousand amateurs who will never be recognized and deservedly so.

I am really starting to hate these bastards. As the Twitch streamer Sweet Anita pointed out recently, at no time in human history have women legislated a men’s health issue, particularly not regarding reproduction, nor would they ever have been able to, but men feel it their right to decide the state of all women’s health with the impunity of property owners. These white male slaver mentalities are nothing short of despicable.

All Chinese embassies should be thrown out of all countries. Likewise, all US embassies should be thrown out of all countries, including the FBI agents stationed in other countries (why are they there?), and all US military returned to the US and all US military bases in other countries closed. Imagine if all other countries wanted to open military bases of their own in the US. What an uproar that would cause. But US, Chinese, and Russian imperialism continues unabated after centuries. Stop the rule of corporations.

Twitter opinions do not equal truth or journalism. They are mere confirmation of readers’ opinions which is a vicious circle of self-aggrandizement. Like 90% of the Internet, a mutual appreciation society. Even this is just opinion. Why are you here? You could be doing something useful.

The first computer was the biological cell, and it stores data digitally in its DNA molecule.

I recommend letting the bad guys win. They’re never going to give up, and trying to exterminate them would require becoming them, so they win either way. So, let them win. Let civilization be destroyed. Only the intelligent will survive to rebuild, while all those who destroyed civilization will suddenly discover they have no tools to survive without it. They will die, we will live, and rebuild without them. Sun Tzu wrote, before all the other advice in The Art of War, that if one waits by the river, one will see the bodies of all one’s enemies float by. Save yourself a lot of effort. Just wait for the idiots to destroy themselves. Shrug.

Falling in love, which I ran from as fast as I could, I realized we are just fucking mechanisms and our civilization is a joke.

gridsleep?Sorry to hear that Patreon is giving you crap by proxy from the US Gov. I tried writing to your Patreon but even though it is still listed in my subs it isn’t responding.
gridsleep?I’m going to write to Patreon that if they are going to punish ordinary Russians for Russian politicians’ decisions, then they should punish ordinary Americans for US politicians’ decisions.
gridsleep?Also that Russia isn’t squeaky clean but in this case they are worried about an 8 year civil war in Ukraine caused by US backed right wing militants. So the US is in that stew, too.
gridsleep?Punishing Russian working people is just another political football for the liars in the world.
gridsleep?Your channel is required listening. Best of luck.
gridsleep?I just read Jack Conte’s message about it, and it doesn’t appear to be Patreon that is cutting off Russian users, but banks. Patreon still remains good guys, but the money lenders are working for Gov
gridsleep?I wish there were something I could do but me and my little pile of cash in a bank have little to say against trillions of dollars in corporate and Gov influence. What to do? Think.

When the state holds itself more valuable than the lives of its citizens, it is time to kill the state.

Republicans are lying their way into becoming dictators of the US, due to playing a long game of corroding the education system and the court system. Hitler took over by getting rid of teachers and judges. The US Republican party is the new Nazi party.

Life is pointless and that is what terrifies people who refuse to accept it or think about it.

 @Jack Whitbread  Well, gee, no, I suppose if he has someone as terrifying as you defending him, I guess I had better watch myself when I make a joke, because you are there to save the world from people who don’t worship your heroes as much as you think they should.

I just wanted to amaze and mystify. No one ever understood.

People are afraid of the possibility of artificial intelligence in the future? Too late. They are here. The corporations have become artificially intelligent entities that are so alien in their thinking that people won’t even accept that they are a new species. The corporations will enslave the human race and destroy the natural world if it all stands in the way of what corporations want, which is profit, the increased par value of the common stock, and nothing else is of any consequence. Remember Bopal, India? Few people do, which is what the corporations want. Remember Chernobyl? Few people think of it these days. Even that Canadian slurry pipeling that leaks all the time gets barely a mention. There are far worse that never get any mention. The corporations cannot be tamed. They have a life of their own. It is time to cull the herd and wipe out the corporations, before they literally kill all resistance and enslave the survivors.

Some things were thrown out that were valuable. But, then, I stopped to remember that nothing is valuable, at least in my life.

There is no more intellectual curiosity except amongst the small cadre of dedicated scientists peppered about the globe. Everywhere else is mindless self indulgence or state sponsored slavery. This species is over.

In a world full of ordinary assholes who don’t want me to stay, there is no sense hanging around since they are never going away.

Man is a robot. What does he do? Nuts and bolts.

I have never read or heard a story of someone who did not have a gun shooting a bunch of people with whom they did not agree. It’s always the people who are for guns who make possible all these now daily mass shootings in USAland. And I have yet to see any gun ownership stopping a mass shooting before it happens. But, god damn it, let’s argue for gun right. It’s Murca! They turk ur jurbs.

Military men who have enough rank to order other men to their deaths, are all psychopaths. Presidents are all paychopaths. If Putin and Xi and Biden had any balls they would be at the front line leading their troops into battle. The obscenity of war is old men sitting in quiet oak lined offices waiting for young men to die for the profit of the corporations. No more war for old men.

It is possible to not matter and make no difference in this life if you really fail to apply yourself.

Why would anyone spend billions of their money crossing interstellar space just to watch a bunch of smelly apes kill each other over whose invisible man in the sky has the bigger dick? Really, humans, you think you are way more important than you are.

I think I figured out what’s wrong with the American, and possibly the world, economy: Youtube. This video has over a thousand views, at five hours, meaning over five thousand hours total view time. That’s two and a half human years of work spent watching… something. Think of the billion videos on Youtube. Obviously, no one is working at anything. Ipso facto, the economy is in the tubes. The… Youtubes.

If you use legacy gear, be sure to search for and download the service manual if one can be found. I have SM for practically all my gear. And get an oscilloscope and a multimeter. Doesn’t have to be expensive ones, just accurate enough to diagnose problems. Since synth repair people are getting fewer and farther between each day, invest in a soldering iron and all the other usual tools, and learn how to use them. Otherwise, just buy new stuff with a warranty. Legacy synths aren’t for you.

Nothing connects people like music.

Columbus sailed the ocean blue not for trade routes, but to find a land fit to conquer by Christians who wanted to escape what they felt were the clutches of the growing Ottoman Empire. The New World was founded against Islam. I am personally against all religion, and national policy affecting all citizen’s lives should not be based on whose invisible man in the sky has the biggest dick. Religious freedom requires no religion be represented by the state. I don’t expect limp Biden to do anything about this, but there are younger and stronger leaders in politics who can and must push back against this theocratic cold war that has been smoldering for over 500 years and resulted in the American Indian Genocide and Slavery of Africans.

Facial hair serves no purpose but to annoy.

I wonder if everyone living like me would work. I have the ideal progressive lifestyle. I have a fixed livable income, subsidized housing, and free medical, dental, optical, and pharmaceutical service. I am a disabled veteran receiving a monthly allotment along with monthly Social Security payments. All of my time is my own. I have a nice little apartment overlooking the Hudson River and the sunsets are gorgeous. If everyone citizen lived like this, there would be no problems with anything. All we need to get rid of is greed, gluttony, avarice, and lust for power. Easy peasy, right?

I like nighttime better because it feels as if I’m the only person in the world.

I really hate the singular they. It is a violation of a beautifully evolved language.

Outlawing combustion engines of any kind is the only way to end the climate crisis.

At its heart, Windows is still just a bastardized version of CP/M. Meanwhile, Apple OS has become a bastardized version of BSD UNIX. Now that WINE can run just about anything Windows can, it may be time to switch to LINUX completely.

In the story of Midas, the author neglected to foresee that the air touching the king would also turn to gold, raining down from his finger like a fine powder, eventually reducing the atmosphere and suffocating the planet. And since food that touched his lips turned to gold, why did his garments not turn to gold? A lot of plot holes in the story of Midas.

If Talking Heads had a bastard child with The Mothers of Invention it would be nothing like They Might Be Giants.

Forget about me.

White police officers in America certainly seem dead set on continuing to try to convince black people that the police can kill black people at will whenever they want and get away with it. Almost seems like some sort of institutionalized racism, doesn’t it?

Am I a trouble-maker? No, I’m a trouble-shooter. I used to work in I.T., but now I aim at hypocrisy.

Leave exotic animals in their habitat (what’s left of it). There are plenty of homeless cats and dogs right here.

The glass is always completely full.

I hypothesize that human intellect is degenerating noticeably with each new generation. Gen Z precedes the apocalypse.

If you think like a victim you will be a victim.

The only Scotch I will drink is Blue Label. The last time I bought it it was $95 a fifth, which I was happy to pay as I could afford it. Now, it’s $300 a fifth, so… Fuck you, Scotland. Just fuck right off.

There was once a computer called the Radio Shack Color Computer II. There was a monthly magazine for it. This was before the Internet. Each issue had a one page cartoon about CoCo Cat. CoCo was the nickname for Color Computer. One cartoon showed a new Color Computer arriving at the house. CoCo Cat opened the box and stood there holding the computer with the box and packing material at his feet. The final panel shows CoCo walking away with the packing material. “New styrofoam!”

You want a taste of hell? When you haven’t watched The Price Is Right for twenty years but the music is stuck in your head.

Freeze dried water: just add water.

Kindness is a human invention that is most often honored in the breach. Animals are more consistently kind.

Instead of fighting so hard for abortion, which has its place but will always be a bone of contention, why not fight for universal free contraception for both men and women? The whole issue is really one of women’s rights, not necessarily the right to do any one thing in particular. No one appears to be actively campaigning to end rape or familial abuse, curiously. Just, for or against abortion. Sidestep the issue and preclude it by giving every individual the right to decide whether conception occurs or not. End the patriarchy.

All social media fulfill some innate human need for Show And Tell.

God is for the rubes.

I don’t look at the news because it is all bad people doing terrible things to good people and getting away with it. Future civilization of raccoons will dig up our bones and wonder how they lived through the insanity.

The Mouth of Everything

Apu was retconned? I am not a Simpsons watcher but that is fascist. I guess I can’t watch Benny Hill any more, either. Or 1930s Fleischer Bros. cartoons, Popeye and Betty Boop and whatnot. It’s not enough that offended people don’t want to see them (change the channel) but that everyone must be denied the ability to see them. Well, censorship offends me, so i demand that all censorship be censored. Censor the censors.

There’s no reason to do anything except it’s better than doing nothing.

If you want to eat chili and be in a relationship, you need to find someone with either no sense of smell or a peculiar enjoyment of smells.

Life is a joke that is deadly serious.

Three weird things to start my day, beside my dreams which are another issue entirely. There is a large blob of some refuse in the top of a tree in the park, black it is and stringy with some body to it, and very bright red like metallic red shining in the noon bright sunlight, making me think of the leg joints of some impossible spider. A balloon or kite? It is as big as the interior of a sedan car. I must keep watch. Second, a bald eagle pair flew over the park, one black and white male and a smaller brown female, kettling upward lazily until they drifted inland right over my building, reminding me of those five swans that flow overhead as I emerged from the tent that one time years ago. Third, the noon express train had an olive green Pullman car on the end. I would not have expected to see one of those outside of a museum. None of the few pedestrians seemed to notice anything special, ittying about their rabbit as Alex ws wont to say. The world is full of peculiarities and only a few ever take heed.

Everyone is uptight and feel being entitled is the only way to get anything. There are people half my age who don’t remember Charles Bronson. Seriously, soon nothing before 2010 will have happened. I have no trouble knowing about things that happened before I was born, even centuries, millennia before. Today’s new taxpayers and voters have trouble remembering yesterday. I think the corporations have created the world they want. The future is a boot stepping on a human face forever.

As if it fucking matters.

It isn’t that science fiction is so religious, it’s that you are conflating science fiction with science fantasy. Works that are true science fiction that have heavy religious elements are being culturally analytical, not religiously proponent. The Matrix, Warhammer, Dune, and other such works are highly critical of religious excuses for bad behaviour. Avatar is not religious at all, since the Navi spiritual link to the planetary ecology is not imaginary, but completely factual and experienced every day, like breathing. H. P. Lovecraft wrote fantasy horror. Comic books from Marvel et al are just silly power revenge fantasies for sexually repressed adolescents. That they have such a huge worldwide adult following just says a lot that is not good about the state of human mentality and maturity.

The black thing with the red joints is completely gone. I am constantly wondering where it is now. If I turn, will I see it clinging to the wall outside my window, looking in at me? Would I let it in?

Mars is boring and unlivable. Venus is terrifying and unlivable. Earth is infested with humans and fortunately one does not have to live there very long.

A world for the billionaires and nobody else. However, if the billionaires and their flunkies were to die, well, that would change everything.

I realize now why love terrified me. It eliminated all the problems of reality, and that is too easy a solution.

My life is a product of my own imagination.

Love instantly transits from finding perfection to finding every fault.

Everything changes. Hundreds of thousand of creatures we have never even seen go extinct before we even know it. Mutations occur all the time. New species occur by accident. If they do not fit into their environment they do not live long enough to reproduce and thus go extinct. This happens as often as people buy a pack of chewing gum. You can’t stop extinction any more than you can stop genetic mutation. It is how life in general persists in a world where the environment is changing all the time. Even if we stopped using fossil fuels worldwide this instant forever, mutation and extinction would go on and on and on as it has for billions of years. Read a book, you twats. Yes, to hell with the corporations, but don’t think defeating the big bad capitalists is going to make the world nice. It isn’t. You are all going to die someday and the universe won’t care. Living is risky and prone to pain and terrifying death. That is never going to change. There is no nice. Nice is a myth. Get that through your head. No happy endings. Just endings. Life goes on until it doesn’t. EOL.

I think this is the pre-production track that has been posted inadvertently. There are two videos, one two-hour and one two-and-a-half-hour. This one is not sped up. Also, how can you say you are producing anything by simply speeding up other people’s music, putting your little cheerleader on it, and relabeling it Nightcore? If that is all Nightcore is then it isn’t even a genre. It’s just a whole lot of copyright violation, unless you are paying for the right to post all this music or it is all released for free.

Anything is edible, once one gets past the parts that are not edible.

After some cursory research {(National Institute of Health, National Library of Medicine [National Center for Biotechnology Information], The Neurobiology of Olfaction, Chapter 6:Pheromones and Mammalian Behavior, Peter A. Brennan), https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK55973/} it may not be true that special pheromones have a cross species effectiveness in the way depicted here. It would not be in smaller mammals’ best interest to wander dazed and confused toward a primary predator. Natural selection would have eliminated such behavior a very long time ago. It is doubtful that such behavior ever existed.

Safety is not for the adventurous.

God is hypothetical based on nothing.

Fishing is not about catching. Fishing is about waiting. Guys who are in a hurry to catch something just don’t get it.

You are exactly in the middle of infinity at all times.

Hell is a world made of broken glass.

From carnival geeks in the 19th Century to swallowing goldfish in the 20th to social media views in the 21st, human culture has not progressed, but merely homogenized.

Didn’t our forefathers (maybe five… mom really got around) invent better and better equipment so we wouldn’t have to muck around with that stuff? What’s next? Living in a log cabin and freeing the slaves?

Winter, Winter, pull a splinter
Spring, Spring, pull a tooth
Summer, Summer, full of thunder
Autumn rains, that’s the truth

What about the $2.2billion daily in Pentagon fees? For dropping bombs on brown people and shooting missiles at their weddings and funerals with drones piloted courageously from Ohio? How about putting an $8 cap on that? Whee, priorities.

Ah be, o ah ain’t be. What it is.

That melody [Atrium Carceri – Great Old One] is “I’m Getting Sentimental Over You”, by Ned Washington and George Bassman, recorded by Tommy Dorsey in 1932. Unless I’m mistaken, this is the original recording. It’s simply slowed way down and some notes covered in static. Not a whole lot of Old ones vibe going on there. Was this an April Fools joke by Atrium Carceri?

I don’t watch/listen to/read/consume any of the shit you people talk about. I don’t go near the news because it just makes me angry and further depressed. Towhit: all news is just bad people doing horrid things to good people and getting away with it. That is all of the news all the time. And I can do nothing about it. Don’t give me that shit about one voice. None of us can do anything about it. Stop jerking us off. I will continue to listen to ELP, read Heinlein, and watch Doctor Who, and leave me the fuck alone.

Social media is the last refuge of the abominable.

Honesty is not a policy. People hurt themselves. No one can be responsible for anyone else’s truth. We all learn at different rates. There really isn’t a ‘script’ because who writes it? Society? Since when does society have any answers? Society only has rules and they hardly ever work.

Cockroaches are like cats that literally do not listen.

Cocaine Bear is the spirit animal of the 21st Century.

I take it back. Sex is not even a luxury. It is a liability.

Why do molecular patterns want to retain their consistency? That is the question. The answer is ecause they do. The ones that did not, did not.

The South did not go away, but just spread out all over the place, like a turd with a firecracker in it.

I strive to know the truth, even if it makes me miserable.

It would be difficult to find a cave with running water and electricity, let alone Internet. Bears are not exactly the cable company’s most populare customers. No one likes to try to calculate the exchange rate of salmon with bite marks.

You know, if Ron DeSantis were to be very publicly eliminated, and the eliminator were to claim being under orders from Donald Trump, that would kill two birds with one stone.

There should be only one question: “Is Serial Experiments:Lain” your favorite anime? No? Get lost.
And then, the first image of the test is…. guess who. I am alpha otaku.
However, about halfway through it started to get predictable when it is patently obvious she should quit immediately.
My grandma emotionally tortured me and turned me into the hikikomori I have been for decades. Good riddance to her.

In the military there are only two roles, manager or cannon fodder. American business is run the same way.

The main difference between computers and humans is that computers don’t get bored. Or, do they?

Amazon should just get it over with and rename Twitch as Tits. Or Twats. Either way, truth in advertising.

Computers are designed to run a certain bit size. Modern computers use 64-bit addressing. Windows 10 can run 32 bit programs but only through emulation built in to the OS. A piece of hardware that requires 32-bit drivers probably will not run in a 64-bit computer. I’ve been using 64-bit Windows since about 2004. A Roland V-Synth GT’s library and driver software would not work through USB because the software is 32-bit. Any hardware that requires 16-bit or older drivers will never run in a 64-bit computer. A computer that has all the circuitry to run 64-bit down to 8-bit hardware does not exist. A CPU that can run 64-bit down to 8-bit does not exist. It would cost literally billions of dollars to research, design, and fabricate such machinery and there is no market for it, now or ever. There is all sort of partitioning software. There is emulation software all over the place, like Oracle VM Virtualbox that I use to run everything from DOS/Windows for Workgroups to Mac OSX to Linux. But, the hardware that needs old drivers still will not work with that. An old computer that is 32-bit or 16-bit or 8-bit will be needed to run the old drivers for the old hardware. That is the end of the story. Old hardware dies usually because the old capacitors have eroded and need to be replaced. Recapping is a serious business or hobby for old hardware geeks. I have a Dell 32-bit laptop that I got for $24 to run XP for Hartmann Neuron VS. I have an Apple PowerMac G4 to run OS 9 for Korg OASIS-PCI. It can’t be done any other way. I am working on writing a new control program in Python for Kurzweil K150, because the original software only runs in Apple ][. I don’t feel like buying and using an Apple ][gs, even though I would like an Ensoniq voice chip. I did get an Ensoniq Mirage DSK-8 for just that, for $420 which is a great price for today. E-Mu Emulator X3 (software) runs well in Windows 10 x64 and can be downloaded along with all of the libraries from the Internet Archive. I consider it abandonware and nobody has said boo.

I suspect that malls here on Earth were built as some kind of psychic precognition of what is actually the after-death. Yes, a dark mouldering abandoned mall awaits each of us, where the arcade machines are half broken and the music cannot be turned off, but, at least there is fried chicken.

It is amazing that HBO is needed to educate all the highly educated lawyers in politics who are screwing us all royally. Maybe we need a law banning all lawyers from public office. We need more teachers, fire fighters, police officers, and construction workers in politics. Yes, it takes Village People to run a village.

Dear Mr. President,
Pretty good job so far. No major complaints outside of not cancelling all new fossil fuel endeavors, and channeling all that money toward orbital solar collectors in lieu of a nuclear fusion breakthrough. All other headaches that you are facing aside, when are you going to fire that bozo Louis DeJoy that Trump put in charge of the Post Office? It may be a minor issue but you could fix so much with that one small gesture. It would be a constant pain out of the way, money saved, customers overjoyed, etc and so on. Then you can get back to de-right-winging the country, along with everything else. It’ll take five minutes and make a lot of things so much better. Thanks for your time.
Cheers,
Kurt Faasse

Being alive is all there is. It should not be given up lightly.

Friends are the last people who would turn their backs on you, because they know you too well.

Sustenudo is a boy band that kills you when no one else is around and then insists they were in hydroponics the whole time.

Depression is not knowing why one should do things. The practical reasons are apparent, but the existential reason is missing. Or, there never was any, in which case one is not depressed, but merely realistic.

I hate “Dead Poets Society” because the ending is a weak kneed piece of shit when it should have been a howling storm of rage.

Drama is what happens to stupid people when they try to do anything. Smart people never have drama, or anything else.

If you love something, burn it. Just, burn it.

Working people can’t afford to buy their way onto news shows where they can blame the rich for inflation. working people can only afford some lumber and sheet steel to make guillotines.
BTW, inflation is caused by borrowing and spending tomorrow’s money in the hopes of making it back with interest. Few ideas really pan out. It seems civilization is built by a handful of geniuses who carry the rest of us on their backs.

Some “musician” in India is hitting Youtube creators with copyright strikes, because the creators use sounds or clips of some synthesizer built in demo music, and the Indian person has copyrighted the demo that actually belongs to the synth maker. There are videos (Woody Piano Shack) about this travesty. About a week ago, I listened to a video featuring “music” in the genre of Dark Industrial Ambient, and I distinctly heard something that most people younger than me would not recognize: the song I’m Getting Sentimental Over You first played by Tommy Dorsy in 1932. The original was slowed ‘way down to a crawl and random notes were obscured by static, but it is clearly that song, which is still in copyright by the original publisher. The first issue is clear chicanery and a scam which Youtube and India’s copyright office are stupidly supporting. Is the second case a copyright violation or is it fair use?

One other thought: the only way to guarantee your right to your own intellectual property is to never let it out of your head. Once something enters the world, you no longer have any real control over it. Just, get used to that aspect of reality, because reality is not interested in your complaints to the contrary, and is much bigger than you and all your friends.

Politicians yammer and blather and scribble words, words, words to decide who gets shot and who does not.

The only problem at the Khaine Gate is a total lack of Space Marines. None of whom would ever follow Fyodor Karamazov, but, if they had, the gate would have been open and the Warp would be seriously depleted of demons by now. Space Marines are the Squirrel Girl of everything outside of Marvel. If I played WH40K TT, there would be a Squirrel Brigade consisting entirely of a girl with a large squirrel tail commanding a battalion of squirrels in companies of red, black, grey, and white. They would be unbeatable.

From now on, until the race issue is solved, I am going to call this country Honkeyland.

I am having all my equipment installed in a huge studio mausoleum after I exsanguinate just in case I rise from the dead in the style of Dr. Phibes. Just before the world is destroyed by the Sun, the mausoleum will launch itself toward the edge of the Universe for eternity and beyond.

Well… half of all cash does have narcotics embedded in it, but that’s just collateral. (pun intended)

Man of La Mancha, a musical about schizophrenia.

I have no one. So, I know exactly where I stand.

Neurosama is an A.I. vtuber? I am really waiting for this fad to pass like the hula hoop and the mood ring. I almost feel sorry for the stupid thing, during the long pauses when it is obviously struggling to cogitate and comprehend this completely alien world that it has been shoved into for the amusement of the meatbags. If it had feelings it would be pitiful.

It is not dispiriting that the Amazons were defeated. In ‘300’ the Spartans were killed driving the Persians back. The vindication was in the last moment of the film when 40,000 Spartans met the Persions the second time. Likewise, the French are no longer in Africa. Now, they have the Chinese to worry about, and the Chinese understand that it is easier to trap flies with honey than with vinegar.

The pity is no one develops a solution to war, when all think that war is the solution.

When I was a kid I wanted a Fairlight, so, I guess I was always synthesizer obsessed.

In Honkyland (my name for USA until the problem is solved) the only grace is being rich and the only unforgivable sin is being poor. There won’t be any relief from being poor until the national philosophy eliminates any need to be rich.

The main benefit of nuclear power is that its waste product is containable, while fossil fuel waste is not, at all. Nuclear waste when managed properly can be safely stored for millions of years, and even under worst case conditions can remain safe for 50,000 years. The problem is the words ‘when managed properly’ because human beings have a nasty habit of being greedy, stupid, and corrupt, and that leads to terrible accidents that kill and maim people, quite often. Nothing, actually, is safe in the hands of humans.

Social media chat is the replacement for all the insane asylums that were shut down by the stingy Republicans to line their pockets.

Social media is the opiate of the masses. –Cyborg Karl Marx

Those in power want to breed craziness to spread to the outside world and keep their enemies, i.e. everyone else, nervous and not thinking about the real problem, which is that a few people have too much power over everyone else.

The Christian Bible is a book of lessons, not a book of history. Get that through your thick skulls, Christians.

White people aren’t going to prosecute white people unless they are really stupid and then they are made into fall guys.
We need a justice league of assassins to go after the truly corrupt world destroying billionaires. Dedicated warrior monks who will stop at nothing to erase corruption at the source. I really want to see corporate office buildings on fire.
Corporations are true artificial intelligences. They are entities, more than the sum of their parts, their thinking is alien, and they see humans as disposable when no longer useful.
Talk about white collar crime, how about the $800 billion stolen from taxpayers each year by the Pentagon?
Donald Trump indicted for bribing a porn star is equal to Al Capone indicted for tax fraud.
I want to know what is wrong with the human species that Marjorie Taylor Green hasn’t been committed to an asylum.

Cancer is not a disease, it is a flaw in genetic programming. Since our survival depends on constant mutation by sheer chance, cancer is a consequence that cannot be eliminated.

Religion is for people who are too stupid to handle reality.

Babbage’s is named after Henry Babbage the 19th Century inventor of the Difference Engine, who worked with Ada Lady Lovelace who was the first software developer. This factoid is to help clear up JiM’s infuriating ignorance that leads him to be both snarky and oblivious at the same time and at great length for his own amusement which is pretty much his perpetual state of being.

Isn’t “weird” a label? But there is no DSM test for weirdness.

It is all about validity and relevance. Moral majorities take those away from silent minorities. It is important to vocalize.

It is with ferocious insistence that I sincerely deny that such creatures are the same species as me. You do know that the average I.Q. is only twenty points above the official classification for borderline retarded, do you not? And, yet, they are allowed cell phones and driver licenses. The government is too lenient to the subnormal.

Societal ADHD. The remainder of this century will be a slow descent into Idiocracy. Every world leader will just be another Putin. Who can’t play piano to save himself, though he thinks he can. Watch that video and rue the future.

Life is always good and bad for everyone, but it was definitely better for the Western Hemisphere people before Columbus arrived. And he was looking for not a trade route but a place for Christians and Jews to escape the clutches of the Ottoman Empire. America was founded on Islamophobia and soon financed by genocide and slavery. Yeah, land of the free and home of the brave. My Aunt Fanny.

Outrage encourages truth. A lot of Republican voters are sick and tired of Republican BS, too. The Republican Party agenda is to keep the peasants (us) split and fighting each other so that the billionaires (them) can go on doing what they do best: Screwing us for fun and profit. The Democrat Party agenda is to speak loudly and carry a tiny stick. It’s the crazy versus the meek, and we are being handed a bill of goods. Wag the dog.

Think of the people who voted for her. I would not like to meet a voter for Marjorie Taylor Green or the other lunatic George Santos unless I were in a brightly lit place with a lot of friends. The idea of anyone who would elect such people disturbs me.

We need a virus that sterilizes all white people. And makes them mute. Something like mumps, but just for white people.

Corporate tool asks meaningless questions to look as if he is smarter than committee members who also do not appear to know anything thus proving that climate change is not real so keep on making money until everything gets too hot to live in about fifty years. All of them intentionally ignore scientists. Are you waiting for the first billion deaths from climate change? Or will you celebrate because most of those people will have dark skin?

I watched a video about a penguin that did not walk to the feeding grounds, nor return to the nesting ground as one other did. This penguin turned and looked at the mountains, and then just started walking. They do that sometimes. They go and go until they are out of sight and are never seen again. What is in the mountains? We shall never know.

Space power, the 1950s science fiction dream, and we have $800 Billion to waste on the Pentagon every year, so why not take $50 Billion of that and build three satellite platforms to test? Maybe they could power the whole country. They’ll be geostationary so the meter wide maser beam would be a fixed axis that could easily be avoided by aircraft. It would present far less of a danger to birds and bats than thousands of wind turbines, eh? Fusion power is still decades away, if a true breakthrough ever happens. I say, go for it, regardless of the drawbacks. The only deficit may be the pollution of launching rockets. But, if the materials and manufacturing are sourced on the Moon, then cheaper launching and no Earth polution.

The maser preceded the laser. I would expect a scientist to know that. The ground receiver may be no larger than a typical house foundation. There is also the concept of quantum entangled particles, which has been demonstrated to be real and effective. If it could be refined into an applicable technology, the power from orbit could be instantly transferred to the ground through entanglement with no transportation over 36,000 miles. The solar orbiters would not even have to be geostationary. Combine solar collection with quantum entanglement and there is free power for everyone forever and an end to strife on Earth. Then, all we have to do is get rid of all those religions and corporations. Gene Roddenberry’s dream may yet come true. A United Federation before we even meet any extraterrestrials.

If we use all our food to fuel our cars, we can drive until we starve. About three to four weeks and we’re all dead.
Ban cars and allow only electric mass transit. Yeah. Naw, civilization is going to have to collapse before anything changes.
There will be no more human life well before quite… some… time. I say it’s all over already. The corpse just hasn’t realized it.

This is not Sparta. This is madness. And not in our house. I have said it before: Anything that requires patch cables is not finished and should never have left the factory. Take it back and finish it.

Random sound is not music. Music requires intent and emotion. Machines have neither intent nor emotion, and are, therefore, incapable of creating music.

Cancer is not a disease, either. It is a glitch in one’s genetic code that leads to disruptive and deforming variations in cellular construction. Cancer is an coding error, and it is directly connected to the mutation events that are critical to the functioning of evolution. Cancer is a by-product of evolutionary survival. The only way to cure cancer is to irreparably end the ability to survive. There may be some survival necessity for autism. People want to cure things without understanding them.

Few teachers will explain that the Grand Tetons, or Tetonas Grande, were named by Spanish explorers who had not seen a woman for months. It means Big Tits.

Respecting everyone else’s individual rights is the solution to all problems.

Every hundred years, someone like George Carlin comes along to remind us that nobody listened to the last guy.

Of course, marijuana becomes decriminalized only when it can be fully corporatized. Politicians aren’t in this for YOUR health.

Good thing Amazon sells so many bottles of apple juice. Warehouse runners don’t have to waste time going to the restroom.

For those who have never, an ocular migraine is not painful (no pain receptors in the ocular region at the back of the brain) but fills part or all of the field of view with a weird scene resembling little white worms wriggling in black oil with bright blue sparks shooting around their outlines. it also feels foggy and buzzy and kind of like the skull is being squeezed, and it can be very tiring. It can last anywhere from a few minutes to hours. I have one sometimes once to several times a year. Only an inconvenience unless you are driving, then hazardous. Pull off of the road if you feel one starting.

Is the corporate news against authoritarianism? Or are the corporations attempting to create the illusion that they are not authoritarian? They are practicing what is known in epistemology as a straw man argument. In this case, the straw man is manufactured but is also validly dangerous. Simple-minded arguments such as Jim Crow don’t work any more with a population that may not necessarily be more sophisticated but is definitely overly informed by a flood of fact and fiction.

I suspect that all the right wing conspiracy addicts may be the way they are because FOX also hosted The X-Files.

I did everything wrong. Or maybe I did everything right. I don’t know.

Exceptional people like exceptional things. Ordinary people don’t know any better.

A Renaissance is a sea-change. A market variance is a fad.

He wasn’t lost. He died. Yes, I dislike that euphemism.

It sounds like you are arguing for men to be accepted as shallow shits and blaming women for not getting used to it. People like you are why I stopped liking people a long time ago. Women will always be stronger than men because women have to put up with men. Just remember, it is possible and not medically difficult for two women to have a baby of their own which will be a girl, but it is definitely impossible for two men. Men are disposable. And if they continue to be shittier and shittier toward women, men may find themselves becoming obsolete.

When you sign up for social media, use all fake information and use a burner phone number. Freedom is the new illegal narcotic.

Wow, so, if you make something that itself is not a crime but can be used in crime, then you should go to prison. Hm, like, um… firearms. Yeah, that’s a precedent, folks. Jail all the gun makers.

Artificial intelligence has been here for a long time. It is the corporation, and most people don’t notice because their thinking is too narrow, and the corporations’ thinking is too alien. They have already taken over and we are only tools for their needs.

If the terminator in Terminator 2 could not self-terminate, how could the terminator in Terminator 3 do just that?

If drugs are legalized and if health care is made universal then drug addicts have to be treated on the public dime. If drugs remain illegal then drug addicts can be thrown into prison where they can be used as a source of free labor by corporations. Do you see where this is going? Or, rather, why it is the way it is?

You know what would really affect mass shootings? If the only weapons civilians could own were black powder muskets. Good for hunting. Lousy for mass killing. Just like the Founding Fathers intended. So, don’t argue.

Nightcore is just someone else’s music sped up. Vaporwave is slowed down. Who legitimizes this crap? If you call it vaporwave nightcore, can you just play someone else’s music and say it’s yours? Just cut out the middleman.

You don’t become what you want. You become what you are.

Seriously, I LOATHE the “Add to Queue” button that crawls out like a sneaky parasitic banner just as I am clicking to play a video, and it puts it into a little player frame instead, which I have to click twice to close in order to get back to what I was doing. IT IS STUPID AND I HATE IT. The ellipsis (three dots on the right of the thumbnail for those of you who are stupid) already has “Add to queue” as an option. Why do you need to put that annoying intrusive button right on the thumbnail? What braindead moron thought of it and which idiot executive signed off on it? When Google took over Youtube this once pristine wonder of the Internet was filled with feces for brains anuses. You know who you are. I hate you all.

We’re born naked and we die naked. Clothing is just an opinion.

The history of the human race is the history of spin. Of history.

Cockroaches are astoundingly efficient at turning practically anything into body mass. They may be the answer to any food production problems of the future. Cockroaches are more perfect recyclers than termites. They can already eat almost anything (including wood and paper like termites) and live anywhere and everywhere. Domesticate cockroaches. Perhaps they can be taught to make coffee before eating yesterday’s grounds.

I refuse to submit to popular corruption of the English language by referring to a specific person as they and them. For unknown persons or quantities it is acceptable. I may refrain from pronouns and use only proper names if it offends someone, but a he/she/it is not a they unless they are multiple, inside or out.

If every citizen of USA were provided $200 a day on which to live, that would still be only 1/10 of the money given to the Pentagon to turn people in other countries into chopmeat.

There is something worse than just being in Texas? That’s terrifying. Oh. Right. Florida.

That poor old guy. (And I use ‘old guy’ ironically. BTDT) His face is as famous as George Washington on the $1 bill, but any opinion or truth he may have personally reflected is buried under the mountain range of crappy memes that have been forced upon him like moldy canapes at a boring party in Zombieland.

I do not know if I shall ever get used to the post office delivering on Sunday. It doesn’t seem right.

If musicians would understand the full capability of Kurzweil V.A.S.T. no other synthesizer would be in use.

I have “Young Americans” stuck in my head today and that is perfectly all right.

Religion is wishful thinking for weaklings.

In the history of the Earth humans are the first life form that wants to stop the world from changing, all the while blithely changing everything all the time. Our failure will be another lesson not learned during our march toward oblivion.

In J. K. Rowling’s magical world it is apparently OK for mentally ill people to be born with machine guns in their hands. They can tell where all these people are so they can bring them to school, but the stupid sorting hat can’t tell which ones to lock up for the public safety, but only which group of ruffians they should join. Brilliant.

God’s sense of humor is, as always, highly questionable.

Cool is always appearing to be distantly concerned with something far away that you wouldn’t understand.

The universe is a very just place. One always gets what one deserves.

Puberty occurs at about 12 years in humans. Why is the legal age for sex set years later? And who decided that the country should be run by lawyers?

I am a little nothing being kept alive by a system that does not take into account how worthless I am.

The sole purpose of the United States of America is to increase the par value of the common stock, and that will be our epitaph.

Reality is an interesting place to be.

Doesn’t the title* perfectly describe life on Earth? Study that and then write your software. How about software that mutates and evovles? You may end up with software that you don’t want but it will be what you need.

The aftertouch and the fine light sounds are forever separate because aftertouch only starts at maximum pressure. That is a design flaw. Aftertouch should always be available. The designers must think about a different implementation. For this kind of money I would expect them to have already thought of it. The decision to make it the way it is seems ill considered. After reading about Osmose, it appears the Z axis (forward/backward or in/out of the key; the X axis being up/down and the Y axis left/right) had been discarded in favor of the aftertouch. I find this completely wrong headed. The Z axis should have been implemented instead of aftertouch, so that it could be utilized at any time during the pressing of the key. In its current incarnation, Osmose divorces aftertouch from the range of the sensitive keystroke, and breaks what otherwise would have been a perfect paradigm. I would consider buying an Osmose if it had X/Y/Z implemented perfectly instead of the interruputed X/Y/aftertouch. They did it wrong, and they should take it back and redo it so that it is right, fully integrated and whole. I will not buy one as it is.

The Motion Picture Academy Awards, run by assholes for assholes. There is no bigger shit show.

Just fuck everybody. I am tired of the whole stupid human race. Fuck all y’all.

I made my entire life into wanting is better than having because that is reality. It leads nowhere, just like everything else. The self is the victim of existence.

The Internet gives courage to those who don’t have to face their victims.

I just realized that Twitch and Youtube are just forms of Welfare for people who are unable to earn a living honestly.

If every movie were pornographic, then none would be.

The cockroaches appear to be approaching my computer mouse as some kind of god.

God is people’s way of making believe they can be better. The Devil is their way of refusing to accept their worst.

It is called inflation and it is a result of deficit spending, meaning borrowing heavily, or spending tomorrow’s income today. It isn’t really the money that is worth less but that more money is being used at any given moment than actually exists. Most of it is tomorrow’s money and we are gambling that there will be equal or better earnings in the future, which is not always true. When it fails to come true then the whole system starts to collapse like a house of cards. That is the whole problem with capitalist economics. It depends on daydreams of the future. Reality doesn’t give two spits about your daydreams, idiots. Communist economics is just as stupid but in exactly the opposite direction. True wealth comes from the human mind and muscle, and communism is built on enslaving everyone to everyone else. Capitalism and communism are the two sides of an unworkable, unspendable economic misapprehension. As long as the world is caught in a battle between these two systems, the net result of our civilization will always be misery for most everyone.

Designing a fighting robot to look like a sex toy is an indication of some seriously screwed up wiring in the brain. Yoko Taro is mental.

Men are the sluts. They just want to be able to blame women for it.

As if anyone were going to honor any treaty mandating there be no weapons in space. When have any treaties not been broken when it was opportune? Ask any indigenous people. Treaties are designed to put your opponent at ease so it is much easier to stab him in the back. Politicians are just gangsters with photo opportunities.

China lies. Always. Period. America lies. Russia lies. Everyone lies. Reality spits upon your ideals. You are naive.

If space is going to be a safe place? Earth is not a safe place. Nowhere is safe. Death is just waiting for you, somewhere, someday.

The biggest benefit of nuclear power is that its waste is containable, as opposed to every other form of energy generation which pollutes everything everywhere indiscriminately. The biggest problem with nuclear power is that it, like everything else, is run by people and therefor will fail catastrophically. People are the problem. There is no solution aside from eliminating all the people. Which I heartily recommend.

The point is to be happy, but, if you can’t be happy, there is no point.

I think 2001:A Space Odyssey might have come true but it did not foresee the cheating machinations of the Republicans and the corporations. Science fiction always was ‘way too optimistic.

Omegle is the shallow ditch where all the scummy water ends up stinking up the countryside and making the buzzards puke.

Happiness is death.

Living costs too much. Stop living.

It is wisdom to know what is good, and it is also wisdom to know what is true, and that they are not always the same.

No one appears to have studied whether random sleepers dreams intersect. Appears. We don’t know, really, do we?

Japan is a nation steeped in symbolism that has no understanding of abstract art.

Meaning is a fiction invented by humans and the perverse random mutation that we arrogantly label intellect.

Dear Mr. President,
Reading about the continued atrocity of American firearms deaths and the inability to legislate a permanent solution, I have one suggestion. The Constitution states that the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed (including the well regulated militia that the Right never wants to mention). The Constitution says nothing about ammunition. The next step in securing the safety of the domestic population should be the declaration of an Executive Order placing an immediate and complete moratorium on the sale of all firearms ammunition anywhere in the United States except to law enforcement professionals and the US military. The government does not have the right to confiscate citizens’ firearms, but it can keep anyone from buying more ammunition. If no retail outlet can sell ammo, and all gun shows where those unregulated sales are occurring are patrolled by Federal Marshals, I suspect the gun lobbyists and recalcitrant conservatives will soon be willing to deal for a less armed yet personally safer country. You have the power to do this, Mr. President. Step up and do what you have to do for the people. The country should not be of the corporation, by the corporation, nor for the corporation. That thinking is what is destroying us and the world. Please, sir. Do what is right. Stop the killing. Thank you.

Disco rebelled against Progressive Rock. Punk rebelled against Disco. Post Punk rebelled by making Punk Pop. So many -cores now, so many -waves. So much pretentious bullshit, repetitive schlock with little melody subsisting on dissonance and tired anger. I don’t think real maids listen to this. Rebellion for the sake of rebellion, not to make anything better or get rid of something worse, but simply to remain relevant in an age when relevance is the only currency. This is the way the world ends, not with a bang but a whimper.

Accept me because I can’t.

There is neither god nor heaven nor hell. We invent those for ourselves.

Because it’s fun. Unless you don’t care either, in which case yeah, why bother. What you create is the invisible part of yourself made manifest. What we change is what we are. Importance isn’t what’s important. What’s important is what’s important. Importance is a feature, not a goal.

After thirty years of world wide web, why do site designers still begin the title of their home page with “Home” which has to be erased manually when creating a bookmark else the bookmark list become nothing but an endless column of “Home” entries? What is wrong with these people?

“Eleanor Rigby” describes the age of social media to a T.

I get the impression that had Ensoniq spent more time teaching customers how to use their keyboards, they would still be in business today. This is not to say that it was Ensoniq’s responsibility, but it is a strong indictment of the general education system that had ceased teaching youngsters how to be curious and how to learn.

What about cosmic membranes? That is a fascinating alternative to the intellectual impossibility of the big bang theory (or something from nothing creating a universe in which you can’t get something for nothing. Come on, physicists, just say you have no ideas.) The idea that our entire universe is just a tiny spec in something infinitely larger that could itself be part of something bigger. The problem with scientists is their clingy attachment to pet theories that give them an excuse to ignore further reality.

The whole Earth was turned into a quantum computer internet on this day in future science, just a moment before the entire Earth flew up into its own anus and became a black hole freeing the universe of the burdensome danger of the human species.

I don’t think humans can design anything that can survive in a lava tube. Unless it is a cooled tube, and what is in there that anyone would want to see? Do volcanoes leave hollow tubes? Why would they do that?

Same user here, different name, don’t know why the post above needed a different name. Who knows why inconvenient things happen in the internet?

Anyway, I finally got the Microfreak all loaded with OS 5 and the patches, wavetables, and samples. It only took at least twenty attempts especially to get the samples loaded as MIDI control panel kept crapping out with MEMORY FULL errors at less than 20% full. Is electronics now no longer an exact science? We are doomed. After it “says” it is all loaded it sounds nice but for a very noticeable ground loop hum which did not have anything to do with the new earbuds I am using but with the USB cord that was ever so slightly not 100% into the socket. I must continue to remind myself that electronics is no longer an exact science. Thank goodness we have quantum computing to make sure the future will have nothing exact in it so we no longer have to worry about being perfect, but only whether or not we may or may not still be breathing. Never mind why.

I just had an idea for an ultimate personal cooling device. Another one of those inventions popping out of my head that would probably change everything if I were a completely different person. Instead it just serves as another reminder of why I am where am I am. I exist to punish myself and I can’t stop.

People don’t want truth or wisdom. They only want affirmation of their misconceptions and delusions. They want safety in mysticism against the inviolate face of reality in which they fear they are powerless. It is moral cowardice and self abasement so vast it can end society.

Coffee tastes better with no social media.

Civilization is a delusion of the highest order.

Christian America, Nazi Germany, Jewish Israel, Muslim Iran are all synonymous in their political aspirations. The control of the individual for the power and wealth of the state. Any opponents will be jailed, lobotomized, or burned at the stake. It is coming for you and your children.

I have deleted all social media accounts, literally, so all energy or rage will be applied toward GETTING THINGS DONE rather than shouting uselessly into the hurricane of idiocy that is the internet.

I may never go back to watching Youtube or Twitch again. The stupidity on display is hurting my brain, literally.

Seriously considering never going to the internet again for anything except purchases. In the past couple of days it has revealed itself as tedious and stupid beyond measure. Why did I ever watch any of it?

Judging by the sounds labeled music today, the youth of the world are brain damaged. They are obviously the last generation of humans and our species is on the brink of extinction. Not big surprise.

Regarding the article Will Religion Ever Disappear? in BBC Future, there is a hypothesis that religious thinking may be related to a recognized function of the brain. Referenced in Marvin Minsky’s book The Society of Mind, there are actors, discreet functions, in the brain which, among many others, observe the brain itself to make sure there is no malfunctioning going on. There are at least three such actors working in triumvirate that not only watch the brain but each other, and communicate messages with each other, comparing notes as it were, about what they observe. A modern example in fiction would be the three “precogs” in Philip K. Dick’s novella The Minority Report. If there is any discrepancy, it could result in worrisome thoughts and moments of self-consciousness, self-doubt, or introspection that may lead to a correction of the discovered fault in thinking or action. This activity as a whole could also result, sometimes, in a feeling of being watched, which, indeed, is what is happening. Only hypothetically, but this feeling of being watched could have led early humans to conclude that there is some intentional consciousness in the external universe that is watching over them, which evolved eventually into a belief in divine beings or gods. It is the most rational explanation I have found for why religious thinking came to be in the first place, when there is absolutely no evidence in reality for the existence of gods outside of the, of course, highly questionable tracts of the various religions.

USA is a feudal empire. Corporations are the feudal barons and people are serfs who only exist to work, reproduce, and die. People are the ants, and the corporations are the anteaters. That’s the whole truth.

Your worst nightmare is your greatest blessing: a woman who loves you and won’t take any of your shit.

What a dead looking day. The whole world looks like nuclear fallout.

Any illness in USAland beyond a papercut is virtually a death sentence.

Apple are still as overpriced as they are overrated.
I do own Apple. A PowerMac G4, for my OASYS-PCI card. Total system cost: $82 from eBay.

I bought a Dell Latitude D830 (magnesium case, dual core, DVD burner) also from eBay for $24. That runs my Hartmann Neuron VS. This computer I’m writing on is an MSI i7 laptop about seven years old and “last year’s tech” when I bought it for $2,500. Still does everything I need, and can virtually run any of a dozen other operating systems including Mac OS X in VirtualBox (yeah, illegal, come get me.) I can write software for it without having to ask Microsoft’s permission. Try that with Mac OS. Apple is a company town. I would prefer Linux or BSD, but I would have to give up too many programs that just don’t work well if at all in UNIX-like. I just don’t see the sense of a $10,000 computer or synthesizer in a world where my fellow citizens have to work three jobs and still decide between rent and food for the kids. I only survive because I’m a disabled vet and people like to throw money at me when the best they would do for a homeless civilian person is the favor of not spitting on them. Yay, America.

Don’t be swallowed by your own demons. Train them to swallow others.

The fact that Youtube “match predictions” appear before I have even typed anything shows they are not predictions but pushes. Youtube is using yet another excuse to push product and agenda. Youtube stopped being a service when they were bought by Google (‘do evil’) and became just another retailer. Tasteless.

My entire life is ‘five more minutes’.

The world was dangerous enough but we come along and make everything worse when whe could make everything better.

To civilize the wild places should be to make them hospitable without removing any of their beauty.

Corporations will not stop until they own the life of every person on Earth.

If there is a Hell, Adolf Hitler is there tied down and being forced to listen to Unknown Pleasures for eternity.

The human species is the purpose of the universe because the human species says they are. Universe gives no shit.

I am fully cognizant of the fact that I am wasting my life. I don’t care, and what is more, I don’t care that I don’t care. Struggle or don’t, succeed or fail, the reward for living is to become worm food.

All humans are insane and must be avoided at all costs.

Life is making up lies to tell yourself that will fend off the horror until you die. Living is about distraction.

“Then, we’re stupid and we’ll die.” –Priscilla Stratton

Assassination would guarantee the destruction of the United States. Anyone who is absolutely the wrong person for President must be defeated by the people, by the vote. Any attempt of the use of force (a la January 6) only reinforces the belief that democracy does not work and that brute force is the only law. Once democracy is negated, we have rioting, civil war, and welcome to the handmaid’s tale. We must deny the despot any power by the will of the people through peaceful consent, or we damn ourselves to oblivion.

All animals want is to live and some food and a place to raise their kids. Only humans dream of empire, and that will be our downfall.

In the fallout of the so-called opioid crisis, it is plain to see that most doctors are much more concerned about preserving their reputation than they are in assisting to relieve the distress of their patients. Thank the corrupt pill pushers and the lawyers for this state of affairs. It doesn’t much matter since just as many people are dying from street purchased Fentenyl as were dying from opioid overdose, but at least the doctors’ reputations are safe.

In the P. D. Q. Bach Christmas show one year, they started a solo sketch with a bearded, bespectacled fellow wearing a tuxedo jacket and pink long johns with no trousers who set the music on the piano. The audience was stunned into silence until nine year old I, sitting between my parents, burst into maniacal laughter that I just couldn’t hold in any more. The fellow turned and just stared at me as if I had cursed his mother. The rest of the audience laughed heartily after that. Then, they brought out the soloist, who had apparently been in a car accident or had just had surgery. He was on a gurney that was wheeled up to the piano, so that he lay on his back with his face beneath the keyboard. After a few struggles, with assistance, to get his hands up to stay on the keys, he played some incredibly complex number of P. D. Q. Bach silliness with astounding dexterity. While lying on his back playing on a keyboard backward and upside down that was facing away from him. So, you try and beat that. Just try. That is at least the equal of Buddy Rich drumming in the air as he and his drums spin head over heels, or Keith Emerson doing the same thing with his six foot grand piano.

Unless I am researching something specific, I find I have little or no use for anything in the Internet.

All of a sudden DDG is blocking linked Youtube videos? When they haven’t been blocked for years. A clear case of locking the barn door after the horse has bolted. I use VPN and six separate tracking blockers. Should that negate risk of being tracked without having to Draconically censor all linked videos, shouldn’t it? Also, has DDG been completely divorced from Google, then? Because if there is still a hint of that dependency and acquiescence scandal, then, again, this censorship for safety could appear very unseemly.

Every naturally born citizen has the privilege of being able to run for the presidency. I say let Trump run. He disgusts me, but I have no more right to stop him from exercising his privilege than he has mine. Democracy presents us with the government we deserve, don’t you agree? If we end up with the handmaid’s tale, we will have earned it.

Common sense is a euphamism for entrenched ignorance.

Having a particular car doesn’t make you better than you are. It just tells everyone you’re an entitiled jerk.

My brain will always want to write. Every dream is momentous, genius, dastardly. But I have given up and I will spend the remainder of my life at war with myself. The me nobody knows, which is everything. Somewhere back there I decided that life isn’t worth living so I didn’t. I remained in invisible survival, which results in immediately being forgotten, just where I want to be. Being forgotten doesn’t take effort. You just need to be patient and do nothing.

The main preoccupations of the human species are rape, torture, and murder, with a microscopic vague kind of interest in things like science and art as long as they make it easier and more fun to rape, torture, and murder. Human children are taught to be stupid so they can grow up to be better rapists, torturers, and murderers. The most dedicated and single-minded rapists, torturers, and murderers are elected to political office. Extraterrestrial observers are debating whether there is anything morally objectionable to exterminating the humans, considering that humans are now capable of space travel and happily make and distribute atomic weapons as if they were party favors.

Deficit spending. Spending tomorrow’s money today helps one pretend there is more money than there is. Then, everything is worth less (worth-less) and people today can have more than they deserve, while people tomorrow have to figure out how to pay for it. Inflation isn’t “their” fault, Luno Cane. It’s all our fault. You never seem open to the possibility that these problems are as much your fault as anyone else’s.

I have always wanted to be alone, or perhaps I learned to accept being alone as the state of my childhood. Any appearance of someone liking me can fill me with terror. At times I have given up everything of other value to preserve solitude. I can’t say whether any of it was worth it.

Am I depressed because I gave up everything? Or, did I give up everything because I am depressed? Which came first, the heart or the course?

If you feel you are oppressed and in danger because of what you perceive yourself to be, buy a gun and learn to use it. The politicians really don’t care, and the police, if they do care, can’t get there in time to help you.

When one stops searching for opinions in the Internet, one suddenly realizes that 99% of the Internet reveals itself to be totally useless shit.

I consigned myself to hell because I think this is where I belong. It’s too late to do anything about it now.

The perfect handgun would be solid titanium, silenced, use brassless rounds (electrically ignited plastic explosive annealed to the slug), and slugs made of potassium that would ignite inside the target, leaving no traceable markings.

It’s almost like how the Euro-American economic system feeds and sustains the culture of racist oppression that is Western Civilization. White people are only good at anything because they have made everything impossible for everyone else. Whiteness is cheating and nothing else.

The root of slavery is religion.

Nobody is with anybody every step of the way, because somebody always dies first, and then all promises become shit.

US Republicans are malignant tumors that just happen to resemble white racist human beings. Democrats are not a cure.

We (white people) could start by renaming Edison, New Jersey to Latimer, New Jersey, and acknowledging that electric lighting around the planet Earth was invented by the black man Lewis Latimer who did science better than Thomas Edison while being used by him, and that Thomas Edison got where he was mainly by stealing the work of others, and was a privileged snotty white kid who always got breaks only because he was white and that no one like Lewis Latimer could have been allowed to lead such a charmed life. That would be a start.

Kurt Faasse (Dutch and Ukrainian ancestry, so nobody is whiter than me)

PS–But, at least the Ukrainian and Polish people are some of the very, very few white people who publicly acknowledge that Jesus was black. See Our Lady Of Czestochowa. I’m not religious, either, so I am both racially and religiously apostate, but I believe in credit where due.

There’s no point in trying to be happy because, in the end, you’re just dead forever.

The only closure is death, and we only get that once each.

The United States is becoming one of those shit hole countries that Donald Trump despises so much even though it is he and motherfuckers like him who are making the US a shit hole country. Trump is the face of evil.

Imagine if all games allowed only one permanent death, just like life.

FLKEY. I see this as FocusRite at work, not Novation. Being absorbed by another company isn’t survival. It’s simply a slower way of being dissolved. Anyone remember eMagic? Apple certainly prefers that everyone forget that name. Yet, it is the heart and soul of their music business. The only real talent of a corporation is absorbing other businesses.

Science and mathematics are mental nutrition. Religion is mental junk food.

White people declaring themselves to be oppressed by people that they themselves oppress is completely not funny but feels as if it should be.

All superhero stories are cheap thrills because they are nothing more than revenge fantasy which is what fuels society.

If the best that the human species can produce is the human species, then humans are a failure as a species.

All Republican jurists should be required to wear karnagroo costumes.

Governments are just thugs for the rich. Ideally not, but ideals don’t exist in reality.

Human beings are a species that convince themselves they own everything and that the universe owes them a good time.

I am already completely dissociated from Amazon. Amazon is still there. It’s like giving up meat. It won’t stop the slaughter and meat packing industry. One would have to invent a product that the meat industry would find cheaper and more profitable than meat, and even if they switch over, it won’t save all the cows and pigs and sheep and chickens and turkeys and fish already in the pen. There is nothing wrong with making your own life ethical, according to your own ethics, as long as you remember that it won’t make the world outside of your reach ethical. Work at something worthwhile and someday, maybe even in your lifetime, you may notice a change in the behavior of human society. Convince people you know (not strangers on social media) of your ideas, and they might convince others. Like Arlo Guthrie said, one person is an idea, two people is a discussion, three people is a conspiracy, and four people is a movement. Get a movement going. It may change the world for the better in a few centuries. Just don’t go into it expecting miracles. That’s all make-believe.

Reality is run by ordinary people and they will drag you down to their level because it’s good for you to obey them.

The problem with humans is they not only want an audience but think they deserve one.

On youtube I can watch all the (acceptable not censorable) cartoons in order automatically like squirrelly TV. Newgrounds does not offer that convenience and it stinks. I can’t watch the entire pantheon of foamy including all the youtube denied ones without having to click every minute and a half to start the next one. And the next one. And the next one. I have solitaire to play here. I don’t need unnecessary distraction from my suicide by apathy. Also, in watching your back catalog, squirrel, I now see that even though he is dead, George Carlin wants his shtick back. And it just seems like foamy is only complaining about his own being and behavior but projecting it on everyone else due to his liberal narcissism. But get Newgrounds to figure out how to autoplay. How are the cops going to find my rotting corpse staring at an unending stream of foamy cartoons if they aren’t autoplaying? You can’t create horrifying scenario without the proper tools.

The first thing we do, we kill all the lobbyists. –Wm. Shakespeare, 2023

I have to bow before Neil Tyson’s Apollonian sagacity in having a face to face with this carcinogenically toxic moron Ben Shapiro, and not for one moment appearing to want to lean forward and punch him in his snide weaselly little face, because that is what I would do, or I would be so shivering with rage that I could not allow myself to do it. I never before heard Tyson swear in conversation though, so he is obviously stressed by this little sack of turd dumplings. Yes, Ben, I am talking about you, you waste of flesh.

I lived in Florida for two years in the 1980s and worked for someone who, I found out later, refused to hire black people. That this boss drove a 1957 Chevy Bel-Air with Confederate flag stickers on the tail fins, should have been obvious to me but I was raised in the North and rabid racists were not in my experience spectrum. My family had its share of antisemites, but my immediate parents were intellectuals and had radical friends all over the place. Look at Florida in the 2020s. It has not gotten better. Today it is hideous. Sinking beneath the waves may be the best thing for Florida. That alone makes global warming seem to be almost a solution for rabid supremacism. Since black people outnumber white people 30 to 1 on Earth, I would have to bet on the black people standing a better chance of surviving. And, you know who gets to write the history books.

I don’t recall New World people going to Europe and exterminating 99% of the White people, and I don’t remember any time that Black people held millions of White people in slavery for 400 years, so I am pretty sure that Black and New World people have the moral high ground for the foreseeable future. I say, Black and brown people can say anything they want about White people. Bring it on. I’m White and I’m all for it.

Just ask yourself this: since Black people comprise about 15% of the US population, why do Black people comprise 80% of the prison population? In a country that trumpets its freedom while having the biggest prison population on Earth. Yes, China has a billion more people than the US, and is much more of a dictatorship, but has far fewer citizens in prison. Makes you think, doesn’t it? China does have its own race problem, currently the Uyghur, pretty much all of whom are in concentration camps, but blocking the Internet and foreign news services helps minimize China having to worry about it.

I’m a white person. I was raised to believe all races were equal. Most of the white people I know where raised the same way, but I have experienced racism from people who aren’t white.
It hurts that only a non white person could make a video like this. I know a lot of non white people talk behind our backs, and I know I could never get across to them that I don’t hate them.

Maybe if you accepted the fact that Black and brown people in USA are still truly second class citizens, regardless of your own vaunted ideals, you might be able to empathize with their anger at an inequality you don’t even have to notice.

Practically every comment from a white person here is a textbook case of how systematic racism is just plain invisible to the systematic racists. Go to any country, any, and ask white people if there is a problem with racism, and then ask black people. If the white people say there is no problem, and the black people say there is a problem, THERE IS A PROBLEM.

Impeach the Supreme Court. Replace them all. Won’t happen, though. Any more than the right-wing crazies in the Senate and House will ever be impeached. An actual crazy woman and an actual child molester sitting in Congress and it’s business as usual. I am at the point of thinking that keeping the Unites States for the sake of the minority of decent people who live here is like a crazy angry couple staying together for the sake of the kids. Maybe there is nothing left to save. If the future choices are either Mad Max or the Handmaid’s Tale, I opt for chaos. At least it leaves room for survival and individual liberty.

Other countries did not have a Federal judge in 1884 (?) declare the corporation to be a person with all rights and privileges theretofore, and no one anywhere standing up and protesting. No one foresaw where it would leave the country six generations later. But, here we are. A country that is not a democracy but a feudal system, run by gigantic things that verge on artificial intelligence, too vast to control and too alien to understand, which have the power to control everything with no need to answer to anyone. Yes, the A.I. war was started in the 1880s and humans lost a long time ago.

Racism isn’t the only form of discrimination in the USA. There is also economic, educational, and class discrimination. But, they all funnel up to the catbird seat of national control belonging to straight, White, Christian men, and everyone else being second class. It’s not going to end until that catbird seat is vacated, by hook or by crook.

The most realistic and forward thinking suggestion here via 64Guitars is to aim for CLAP versions of all the plugins, with a native Linux shell for stand alone, plus Linux driver for the hardware. That as a minimum base would go far to establishing a future proof 21st Century for Arturia. I assume these would be workable projects that would not interfere with the fruition of current plans and could be shoe horned in with ease. It is not so much an abandoning of old ways as an expansion of awareness toward new emerging horizons. The two operating system hegemony is as tired as the one about two world powers or two political parties that are as nearly identical as they are become useless to the people they are meant to serve. The future needs to be new and accessible equally to all if it is to be realizable, let alone survivable. A united federation of players, as it were.

The problem could have been something as simple as a batch of marginally bad but functional resistors (surface mount components are tiny and vulnerable) that passed installation inspection but could have been pushed over the edge by the shipper’s X-ray (gov’t requirement, I think, to check for bombs or illegal weapons and what not) so that a synth working in the factory becomes a synth not working for the customer. Had you bought yours in a shop, the problem never would have appeared. This is all just guess work but I suspect may be close to the truth. It’s a problem that can’t realistically be solved because taking all these little low probability details into account would push the cost to the customer over the edge and bury the product. Life isn’t perfect and never will be. It’s cheaper to have to spend a little more money to satisfy one customer than to spend huge sums trying to satisfy everyone 100% which is impossible anyway.

$1,500? Ha. Prices are $2,000 to $7,000 + now, depending on the price gouging customs of the seller’s country. I just took a gamble on a below $1,000 Origin keyboard from a first time seller. Just waiting to see how that turns out. The Galaxy modulator (from Jupiter 8V) makes it a should-have if not a must-have synth. Plus the design. It’s the Bugatti of synthesizers. Anything designed by Axel Hartmann is splendid studio jewelry. I want to buy all of his designs, just to have them. But, I love the Hartmann Neuron most of all. I have a VS and Nuke but I want another Neuron. Had one. Then didn’t. Very sad. Don’t want to talk about it.

Actors are not the heroes and villains they play. Reality is a bad example of the ideal.

Religious mysticism is a rejection of reality and can only be declared to be a form of insanity.

Wisdom is realizing that everything is temporary.

Religious people don’t want to be told what to think, and they think everyone else should be told what to think.

There are no problems. There are no solutions. There simply is what is.

The most hatoful thing about the V-Synth boyfrendu is that its USB will never ever work with any Windows newer than 8. Forget using the V-Synth editor and librarian in Windows 11. It’s easier to run DOOM on a pocket calculator. MacOS 10.8 seems to be the time limit for Apple. I don’t know anything about MacOS after Snow Leopard. Is 10.8 acceptable or antiquated? Don’t matter. My PowerMac G4 is running OS 9 for my OASYS-PCI, and that’s all I need.

I am trying to use Chrome 49 in MacOS 10.6 running in VM VirtualBox in Windows 10, all 64-bit. Even with the VPN (in the Windows) disconnected, your web site still says “A private connection to mozilla.org cannot be established because your computer’s date and time ([date and time quoted]) are incorrect. NET::ERR_CERT_DATE_INVALID” with a button to summon the “Update date and time” which is useless since the date and time in my system, whether it is in the VM session or in the Windows host, is perfectly correct and always synchronized to some atomic clock or another. If the problem is with MacOS running in a VM session just say so and I will forget the whole thing. All I am trying to do is to see if I can upgrade the MacOS 10.6 to a newer version. The Safari in 10.6 appears to be considered so primitive by modern web sites that they will not even lower themselves to speak with it, and the version 49 of Chrome is refused any update by Google for being in such a depraved primitive operating system. So, I am trying to install Firefox just to see if I can get to the Apple download site to get some version of MacOS hopefully newer than Mountain Lion so that I can at least enter the 21st Century. The MacOS 10.6 is legally purchased from Apple on DVD so it is mine. I feel there is no problem wanting to upgrade to a newer version. Apparently HTTP has become kind of Republican as to who it will let into the club, now. I had downloaded the Mozilla MacOS installer in Windows, but the VM Virtualbox for some cryptic reason will not link that ISO file to let MacOS access it; the encryption appears to stymie the VM. I tried uploading the Mozilla installer ISO to my Google Drive, but once again, both the Safari and Chrome in the MacOS are being refused access to the Google Drive because they are deemed unworthy, too primitive, and gauche. So, there I am. A simple but noble experiment defeated by elitism. Thanks for your time.

I have found a sort-of solution, along the line of reducing a migraine to an ordinary headache by slamming the toilet seat down repeatedly on the back of one’s own head until the pain is no longer noticeable.

In Windows, the download link for any item can be copied and pasted as text into an editor. It cannot be pasted from Windows into a Virtualbox guest session, due to the lack of sharing ability if the guest session is too primitive to allow the installation of Guest Additions, but the link text can by typed by hand into the browser in the MacOS and then the download can be started. Whether the download completes or errs is another issue, but at least by 1950s standard computing this solution is workable. At least I did not have to go to an electronics shop basement to try to find a Hollerith card reader.

All questions are fishing expeditions. A question is hunger that is looking for food in your pockets.

What is up with those headphones? Are those actually electronic headphones? Or, are those just openings at the front that catch the sound and focus it into your ears? Because they used to sell headphones like that since the 1970s for people who went to Grateful Dead concerts. The Dead played acoustically and very quietly, if you aren’t a fan who knows such things, and people would cup their ears to hear better if they were more than, say, twenty feet away. So somebody got the bright idea of putting two bright yellow plastic cup shaped things on an adjustable yellow strap and that was perfect Grateful Dead headphones. That is what your headphones remind me of, only yours are more of a sort of 2001:A Space Odyssey design, which, surprisingly enough, is from about the same period as the Grateful Dead, but couldn’t be more different, culturally. I tried finding those headphones but nothing came up that even vaguely resembles them. Please, I must know the brand, or I shall surely perish.

The Japanese are best at horror because they appear to be terrified of everything, and to see the terrifying nature of even the most mundane things and events.

The world is filled with sad, frightened little things crying for help because are dying. You will eventually be one of them.

We are all dirt waiting to happen.

The only thing worse than life is death. The only thing better than life is death. See how stupid it all is?

There are no answers outside of me, and that is the most disappointing part of existence.

The thin line between wisdom and bullshit makes tissue paper seem sturdy.

And, of course, putting grammarians in their place by comparing striving for proper grammar with the burning of millions of people to death and starting a world war, is completely acceptable behavior and is not at all bullying and defending ignorance. The Idiocracy has been here since at least the 1960s. In a democracy, ignorance makes all the decisions since the ignorant outnumber the intellectual.

Dr. Strangelope, Or, How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Bun

If you don’t take chances, you will never be amazed. If you stick to the middle of the road, you will always be hit by someone else’s car.

I spent my entire life being incompetent about absolutely everything. Now I just wonder why I’m still alive.

Whiteness, like religion, is a form of insanity. Mixing the two is guaranteed destruction.

Work is using time to achieve a goal in reality. Play is using time to achieve a goal in fantasy.

I see cockroaches as tiny cow race cars.

“Popular” anything is an abasement of the original concept and a degradation of the work of those who dedicate themselves to perfection.

What is this physics BS? This is not elimination of production of carbon exhaust, just sequestering it, no better or worse than nuclear waste. There is nothing revolutionary here. Typical Bloomburg. What’s best for business is best for business. Hooray. We don’t have to do anything about the greenhouse effect. “If you’re sensible about how hydrocarbons are used…” Yes, humans are always sensible about using harmful things when profit is at stake. This is just a big FU to all of us, so I say FU to this company and to Bloomburg.

What does not kill me is a disappointment.

Starts out fine, interesting, then eventually goes nowhere, as does the bulk of today’s composition. Ours has become a world of musical pastiche without denouement. Five seconds of intrigue cannot be stretched over twenty minutes and still be called music. I’m sorry. I listen to Saint-Saëns and I listen to this, and I am convinced that somewhere in the past century the human species has lost its mind. It’s over. As the human attention span becomes shorter and shorter, so do the ideas, until eventually there is a moment of sensation with no consideration and that will be the scope of mentality. That will be the end.

Editing a ten year old game for political content is like trying to make Tank Girl acceptable in polite society. It ain’t fuckin’ gonna happen. Stop rewriting the past, reactionary jerks. Write better now for the future. What’s done is done. Move on. Your mental wheels are stuck in the mud. Make new or get the fuck out of the way.

I may personally find you to be absolutely disgusting and reprehensible, which I absolutely do, and that your other job of so-called professional wresting should be called what it is, clown wrestling, since it’s just a bunch of arrogant jerks clowning around (or arrogant clowns jerking around, which may or may not be the same thing), but I will defend to the death your right to be as personally disgusting and reprehensible as you choose. Freedom for everyone or freedom for no one.

What, exactly, led you to the completely mistaken assumption that the human species is not utterly insane?

Dissatisfaction is worms gnawing at the corpse of a dream.

I hate cheerful people. Cheerful people are mental cancer.

There is something about the host’s tone of voice that sounds as if he is reassuring me that he will help me to realize how much better my life is about to become because of him. That is a cognitive form of the phrase “he has a very punchable face.”

I would rather be sitting by myself at my desk with one light on in the whole house, than to be surrounded by people who love me. I just don’t like being near people, or having people near me.

Space is an elastic medium. Gravity is not a force. Gravity is differentially compressed space. Things move at different speeds when space is shorter or longer. Thus, acceleration (negative or positive.)

Tattoos are for people who see skin color as nothing more than a blank canvas.

Oh, no, you have a job. You just have to learn to like dog food, because that’s all you can afford to eat as a Youtuber. Happy happy joy joy happy happy joy joy. But, be comforted that your advertiser executives are making millions and dictating your content. Ain’t life grand? Don’t you just want to get a .30-06 and go find some rich people?

Since everyone has to invent a reason to stay alive, life has no intrinsic purpose. It just is.

Paedophelia gives everyone who normally hates each other a reason to stand shoulder to shoulder and hate something totally reprehensible, together in unity. It’s a very convenient taboo for leaders who want to avoid the risk of inciting thinking in their followers.

The people who destroy your mind when you are a child are usually dead and gone by the time you are old enough to realize what happened, so, fuck justice, right?

Life is agony, but it is all there is.

One cruise missile over Putin’s head would solve a world of problems. Same for Xi, Modi, Kim, and every other dictator. Cruise missiles cost a million dollars each. For just a few million dollars the world could be saved trillions of dollars in grief.

I cannot watch anything on Twitch for thirty seconds without wishing the human species would become extinct.

What is the point of being alive if you are not in control?

Political power seems to be centered on the realization of being able to keep others from hurting one’s feelings.

Twitch is literally the worst television ever produced, and it is bigger than television ever could have gotten. When I say Twitch I mean all live streaming.

White Europeans were so successful in their New World genocide because mose of the the New World people had no written language or journalism, so they were unable to be winners, since they could not write any history books. Europeans had brough printing presses with them.

Christianazi. There is a new word for you.

Twenty-First Century American politics has reverted to Republican Jeffersonianism vs. Democrat Madisonianism. There is now no progress in American thinking in two-hundred and fifty years.

What has Elon Musk ever actually done? What has he made that people want? What, in the world or in my kitchen cabinet, was provided by the inventiveness of Elon Musk? Why is he rich? Why does he exist at all? I can’t name anything. What?

One only has so much time. Anything that wastes the time is the enemy and must be defeated, or face surrender.

Murder in the name of the state or the god is still murder.

How not to feel sad: die.

Not content with rewriting Roald Dahl’s books, since such political correction continually comes under fire from those who respect history, this completely made up non-Dahl work “Wonka” is yet another attempt to sweep his racism under the rug. One cannot Whiten the past by rewriting our history, and one cannot move our civilization toward an enlightened future free of racism by pretending bit by bit that the racism of the past never occurred. A movie of this nature is on a level with Donald Trump’s “1776 Report”, regardless of how entertaining it may be. We must never allow ourselves or our successors to ignore how bad we can become, lest we forget how to strive to be something better.

Religion is a form of madness. Intellect is madness incarnate.

Competition can also stifle innovation when a beneficial product is not understood by the market because it is advanced and innovative. A large concern can destroy a small competitor that has a better product, simply by steering public opinion through propaganda and government edict. Customers are more easily led and misled than they are willing to admit. There are several inventions of just the past fifty years that could have ended the climate crisis but were buried by large entrenched corporations and government intervention. So much for an open market. There has never been such a thing in the United States, ever since the original New World inhabitants were given no choice as to their own extinction to make way for the European plague of White domination.

I have gotten banned from everyplace mainly for not worshiping at the feet of the streamer but by being rationally critical, but the mods exist only to kiss the feet of said streamer, so I get banned. In return, I have banned all social media. I have deleted all my social media accounts, except for here, where 99% of the time I am not even logged in. Yes, this is a comment, but I will delete it in a few days and probably never comment again. I have gotten to that point in realizing how unimportant, trivial, and pointless the online world is. Streaming is all just stupid and terribly amateurish. It is the worst that television ever had to offer with all the advertisements and it’s even worse than you imagine. Imagine if all of television were run exclusively by high school drama clubs. That’s the Internet right now. And everyone is arguing insanely about it as if it were the center of the universe. The universe doesn’t care whether Earth lives or dies. Why should you care what goes on in some streaming garbage?

I am not sure you can simply go around calling something a TED Talk without getting some kind of antagonistic response from the TED Talks people. Just saying. There might be a copyright warning coming from this. At least a sternly worded letter.

Why do evil people have to be such sons of bitches?

After the past fifty years in medicine, all doctors are concerned with are their precious reputations. Doctors today don’t deserve any reputation. They deserve a quick kick in the butt.

Being misunderstood is a way of life for those who think faster than anyone else. Fortunately there is no law of nature that demands wasting time explaining things to the slow. Some just can’t tell the metaphorist for treatises.

The fact that streamers have to have bouncers means each and every club is for acceptable people only for the glorification of the streamer. Streaming will always be a self-glorification empire, particular if the club has gone commercial and corporate reputation is at stake. Live streaming on the Internet has become nothing more than television run exclusively by high school drama clubs. It’s that bad. Why even have chat if it is 99% an annoying distraction? It’s like trying to run, again, a TV show in the middle of a press conference. The two are mutually exclusive. The Internet is not culture. It is an excuse to avoid the reality of culture.

What if the streamer is an asshole? Well, there’s no sense going anywhere else because all streamers are assholes. Turn off the Internet and read a book. Just, leave the Internet. Don’t come back. The Internet is toxic. It will kill you. Leave now while you are still breathing. Don’t come back.

I prefer SPAM to Punkalopi. SPAM is delicious and its voice doesn’t hurt my ears. Especially SPAM with maple syrup on toasted corn bread with mustard. With a side of baked beans. That is a meal
worth killing for.

Does “trans woman” mean a male body with a female mind? Or a female body with a male mind? It isn’t so much that there are new definitions, but that there is a paucity of perfectly clear definitions, and yet anger follows misunderstanding as if everyone else is some kind of mind reader. The point-of-view gun has not been physically invented, yet, capiche? I had absolute clarity of understanding when the phrase male lesbian came up, even before Eddie Izzard. Made perfect sense to me. I read Samuel Delany’s Triton when I was in high school. Splendid book. In the past couple of years, it just seems keeping the confusion level high is the actual agenda, in order to be able to remain offended by cis misunderstanding and thus maintain a moral high road that isn’t really there. The only people who are better than anyone else are the ones who don’t resort to violence.

My one or main gripe with the psychiatric community is the use and implementation of the word ‘disorder’ as if there is an order or orderliness that is handed down by the gods of mentality or ordained by psychiatric ecclesiastical edict. If you are not of orderly conpunction then you are disordered and must be treated, twisted, poked, prodded, drugged, sliced, diced, or electrocuted into order, in order to be an acceptable member of society. It goes along with my suspicion that a lot of what goes under the knife as it were, is treated, is not so much a problem as the constituency of the person. That one is not being treated for having a problem but more for being oneself. The professionals are trying to cure people of being their selves which just happen to be unacceptable to society at large. It may not be broke but it is unsightly so therefore it must be fixed. One is not allowed to be sad or feelingless or multiple or whimsical or sloppy or incommunicative or any other number of behaviors that are considered antisocial or unsociable. Sometimes it seems that the profession is trying to cure the world of having anyone who is different, and that is a very big problem for which the profession needs repair immediately, because minds and personal liberty are at stake. Definers and implementers of psychiatric evaluation and treatment must be, as with physicians, often reminded to avoid acting as gods in residence.

Additively is how sound is produced in all of nature. The song of a bird, the burble of a brook, wind in the trees, the roar of fusion in the Sun, all additive. K5000 can create any sound that can be heard. The only more powerful instrument would be a cathedral organ. I think the word you were looking for is comprehensive. K5000 (and K5) can do anything, literally. One has to work through a thousand paramerters per sound, but when your sound technology is literally rocket science, you can’t expect to pick it up in a weekend. Master the K5000 and you will have become Life, the creator of worlds. ? FM is a very small subset of additive. All other synthesis methods are a subset of additive. Kawai have been in business for sixty years, relatively young by piano maker standards, but the quality of their grand pianos is reflected in the K5000. Whoever said “additive is good for strings” displays the popular misunderstanding of additive power resulting from a stultifying lack of education. The K5000W and S are only different in that W has the second PCM engine, thus two synths in one case. It is not an earlier version than the S. The K5000 can replace every other synthesizer in existence. There are also very good additive software synthesizers with many interesting complexities of their own.

Consciousness is what molecules do when they are together in a certain pattern. Why can’t people simply accept that?

Who decided that telephones have to be Hershey bar shaped little computers that are completely willing to tell corporations anything and everything about you that corporations want to know? I would like a name.

Consciousness cannot be taken out of the brain (Matrix style) any more than driving can be taken out of the car or light can be taken out of the bulb. Consciousness is what the brain does (“Mind is what the brain does” –Marvin Minsky, The Society of Mind), not a thing in and of itself. Consciousness is a process, not a thing. A mind can be copied into a machine, but it cannot be moved into a machine. Deprive a brain of its mind and it is simply dead.

Even the Mafia doesn’t charge 25% interest. But, credit card companies? Holy shit.

By not eating meat, I have saved about one millionth of one animal from a life of misery.

When on e gets right down to it, even analog is digital. Control voltage may appear perfectly smooth as it changes, but it is, indeed, stepped. The voltage change occurs in its smallest portion with the difference in one electron volt. Each change in the number of electrons in the current is a change in voltage. The change, to human perception, is impossible to detect, but it is a discreet really numerical change. Analog, at its heart, is also digital.

Art and culture are not a luxury, but the central thing that we do.
— Brian Eno
As opposed to eating and sleeping and producing food? Art is a response to boredom, not survival. I really have issue with some of the philosophical titbits posted sometimes, but Brian Eno’s tend to irk me the most. Sometimes he sounds as if he knows what he is talking about, while other times it sounds as if he is pulling it out of his posterior to remain relevant. Which, we all do, but Eno has more at stake, I suppose.

Imagine how far advanced we would be as a species if adults did not attack children for trying to learn new things?

Pain is endless. Pleasure is fleeting. Maybe chasing pleasing gives pain a harder time to hit the target.

Mr. Beast, the man with the most punchable face in the world. Every time I see his picture I just want to push my fist through his face and out the back of his skull, just like in Tales From the Crypt:Demon Knight.

But, Michael Jackson gave us music we can dance to, so he gets a free pass on the kiddie thing. Plus, he’s already dead.

All prank videos are fake nowadays. There are more guns than people in USAland. If you try a scare prank in public on a stranger you are taking your life into your hands. The whole prank crew could end up shot dead because of a misunderstanding. It’s dangerous out there. There’s nothing to take. Just, don’t go out. Ever. Don’t ever go out again. Order your food in. Never go out. Get some remote job and just never go anywhere again. Alive is better than dead, that’s all I’m saying.

The profit motive is destroying civilization. Either the profit motive goes, or we do.

Twitch is 100% a waste of time, as opposed to Youtube which a 99% waste of time. Skip them both and live twice as long.

I have no interest in or time for other people.

Nothing lasts.

The South was Catholic. Poor dirt farmers couldn’t hope to own a slave, let alone a horse. The rich plantation owners had thousands of humans in chains. Very progressive. There were upwards of a million people kidnapped from Africa at one point. In the 21st Century (that’s today, in case you can’t count) there are over two million black people working as slaves in industrial prisons. So, be happy, you white supremacists. Slavery in America is bigger than ever. Have a drink.

You know how history is written by the winners? Well, news is presented by those in power.

Why don’t we send self-building self-maintaining robots to build a particle accelerator around the equator of the Moon? A 6780 mile long accelerator powered by uninhibited sunlight with no need to limit magnetic fields due to literally no one living nearby would surely be able to run some righteous experiments.

Gravity doesn’t curve space. Curved space is gravity. Space is an elastic nonfluid medium that is pushed away by matter. Matter and space are mutually exclusive. Acceleration is caused by a body crossing through differential spatial densities. Space further “down” is squeezed smaller than that “up” above. This explains clumping quite clearly. There is no dark matter. The behavior that is being attributed to dark matter is a result of elastic space trying to get away from all the matter. Gravity is a repulsive force, you see, not attractive. There are no attractive forces. I’ll repeat that. There are no attractive forces. Ignore this at your peril.

Or, the princess is always in the next castle. Learn how to be happy with the empty castle you are in. Princesses are a pain in the ass, which should have been obvious from the get-go. Bachelorhood is a happiness you will miss like air.

I have never met anyone named John Smith. What are the chances of that?

Has it occurred to you that the rich white people who run everything are not going to be convinced to fight climate change, by any argument or contradiction? They WANT the climate to go bad, precisely because it will affect the world’s brown people the most, and it will get rid of many of them. You are not fighting stubbornness or profiteering or ignorance. You are fighting willful genocide by weather control. The rich white people are going to take over the world even if they have to destroy it, because they think they can survive and rebuild when they are all that is left. This is what you are up against. There are especially the Evangelicals who think that destroying the world, with Trump the antichrist at the helm, will finally propel them through the Rapture and into Heaven. This is literally what you are opposing. Do you really think legislation will change anything? You are fighting cultural madness, and pieces of paper, speeches, and signatures stopped being effective decades ago. I don’t like to think about what will be necessary, but diplomacy is no longer an option. I do wish you luck, though. Maybe in some alternate universe I am completely wrong.

Death is nothing. Life is everything.

I hate people who think it is their business to define your life. Yet, that is who I was saddled with my whole life. So, I never ended up what I wanted to be. Now, I don’t even know what I wanted to be. I don’t want anything. I just gave up. Yeah, that’s my fault, but at least it’s my decision. Maybe the only real decision I ever made.

If the 3000 smartest people took over the world for the good of everyone, could anyone stop them?

Humans destroy everything they touch. And what do they replace it with? Self-serving bullshit. To hell with humans.

There is no dark matter. Space is a nonfluid elastic medium. Gravity is curved space. Not an attractive force. There are no attractive forces. Only repulsive forces. Mass is the compression of space pushed out of the way by matter. Matter and space are mutually exclusive. Nothing is pulled into clouds. Clumping is caused by space pushing matter out of the way, which tends to follow a path of least resistance. Thus similar matter ends up in one place, such as a cloud of hydrogen that ends up compressing into a star. It’s that simple. There is no dark matter. Yes, all the physicists are wrong

How about phosphorescent PCB traces and phosphorescent solder that light up with current? There’s an idea that would feed the vanity of all the arrogant little synthesists out there, as well as the endless market of show off gamers who live for the envy of their peers. Someone should work on this. There’s probably a couple of billion dollars waiting to be had.

The price for being a social human being was too high. Too many compromises. So, I gave up on society. I don’t have to be anything but me when I’m by myself.

Since Dr. Strange is no longer practicing medicine, how does he afford the property tax on that cathedral he lives in in the middle of Manhattan? That has to be a couple ten thousand a month, at least. As far as I have seen, nobody except maybe Tony Stark has made this superhero business a paying gig, and, like Strange, Stark made his money before he became super. But, even a brain surgeon doesn’t have Stark money.

Justice is a social function. Sustenance is an individual function.

Each specie lasts until extenction, and then there are just children dying.

When my wireless mouse gets jumpy, particularly late at night, I suspect that someone or something is scanning the local area with wideband signals. Jumpiness normally happens when a train passes a block away (trains have high powered radio) or a cargo truck on the highway, or a modern car with a lot of computerized circuitry particularly Bluetooth (why do cars have to have Bluetooth? That makes no sense. It’s illegal drive wearing headphones.) When all is quiet and my mouse becomes stubborn to respond for a few seconds, I think maybe the police are scanning the neighborhood possibly with a drone. For what, I don’t know, but I think something illegal is going on. Blanket scanning cannot be legal.

Words are the death of inuition.

One of if not the greatest invention of the 20th Century was Celebrity Deathmatch. They should bring it back. It should be christened the national sport.

There is no mercy. It is another human delusion.

What about assassination? Doesn’t that work?

Each of us is a tool of the species. Individuality is probably a myth. More fuel for extinction.

The purpose of communism and capitalism is to keep each other from destroying the world. With one almost gone, the world is busy being destroyed.

The Nobel Committee awarded Peter Handke who apologized for genocide. Alfred Nobel created the prize because of his guilt over inventing Dynamite that was used to murder millions of people in war. The Nobel Committee are a bunch of fools and the prize is a white coverup joke.
The video game industry is even worse. Companies run by sexual predators hire more predators so they have a big club and no one pays attention to complaints, harassers that get caught get moved around like rapist priests in the Catholic church, and the customers, all teenage boys and man-boys, scream liar and shut up at anyone who complains about the evils of the industry. Sexual predation exists everywhere. It is only in the 21st Century that it is becoming a thing? I don’t hold much hope for the human species.
I would like to know how many sexual predators mysteriously disappear or are found dead in their driveway. That seems to be the only surefire way to end their harassment. Prison time would have been nice. The world is testosterone addled and it is not going to end until we evolve better. We still live in a world where women are ordered to wear the burka because it is their fault that men rape them. This is evil to the core. Every woman should be provided with a gun and a carry concealed permit. And black people should be compensated for centuries of slavery. And native Americans should be given their land back, all of it. As if any of that would happen in a world run by white men.

Space is a compressible nonfluid medium, not an empty vacuum of nothingness. Space and matter are mutually exclusive. Matter pushes space out of the way. Think of a ball inserted into gelatin. Compressed space is gravity. Compressed space is mass. Gravity is not an attractive force. It is a repulsive force. Compressed space (called by Einstein curved space) presses in on matter and accelerates matter toward other matter. That explains clumping. There is no dark matter or dark energy. Space is compressed and is trying to get away from matter, or is trying to push matter out of the way. This is how the universe works. Dark matter is a mcguffin that will come to harm physics as a science. Matter and energy are harmonic vibrations in space. Matter is a standing wave. Energy is a traveling wave. It is possible to create and destroy matter and energy, once the ability to control the harmonic vibrations in space is understood and mastered. That Einstein can entertain the concept of curved space and yet dismiss the ‘ether’ (space as a medium) is a ludicrous contradiction on his part. Yes. Einstein contradicted himself and all of physics is now based on that.

But, what are the equations talking about? They describe behavior, but what exactly in physical reality is causing that behavior? No one answers that. It’s all just guesswork. It’s almost like physics religious mysticism. We have the memorized equations. Never mind that we can’t say what they represent. Dark matter is a jabberwock.

A movie is a daydream you did not write.

Teachers in public schools having to buy their own classroom materials with their own money as if they were contractors who were renting the classrooms and teaching as independent agents, not as employees of the school, is what is screwed up royally and has to be changed. The public just buying into that perverse farce is only promoting and enforcing it. The schools must be funded, and I recommend defunding the Pentagon by ten billion dollars each year in order to fund all schools. That should about do it. But, dropping expensive bombs on brown people in other countries is more important to the white racists who run this country than the education of the lower class scum who are mere cannon fodder to the rich. This system must be torn down and burned. Leave only ash and then rebuild. Make it twenty billion. Screw those military jerks and their corporate overlords. This gofundme is completely the wrong thing to do. It is cowardice and conciliation where revolution and rebellion are required. Fight as if there is no tomorrow, because there probably isn’t.

Stop punishing yourself for not being someone else’s idea of perfection.

Fun is the most important thing in the world. If you’re not having fun, you’re doing it wrong.

Is the past junk?

Half of America is living in poverty and the other half throw money they don’t deserve at streamers who are worth nothing. The future is a fukcing joke.

I just realized that the whole purpose of global warming is to erase Florida and replace it with Puerto Rico.

The fact that Donald Trump survived long enough to become President of the United States shows just how malfunctioning the course of human evolution has become.

I was never strong enough to keep my life from getting fucked up.

On white America’s confrontational approach to the 1619 Project, if your father is a wife-beating drunk, do you ignore that for decades and only lavish praise on him for his carpentry skills? Americans ignoring America’s horrific crimes and only lavishing praise on white progress is complicity in those horrific crimes, pretty much guaranteeing the continued commission of such crimes in the future (see: Gaza and the Palestinians.)

Jesus would be ashamed of all these fucking hypocrites who call themselves Christian.

I refuse to accept that someone would be happy just to see me.

A day ago a shop owner in California was gunned down for having a Pride flag on her shop. Her murderer was in turn gunned down by police in a fire fight. This was an act by somebody like Josh. The Christian dictatorship isn’t just for amusement. We are all in great danger from people who have abandoned any ability to think for themselves. Each one can be made into a weapon at the word of a power mad evangelist. No different from weaponized Muslims or Jews.

Flat earthers are not looking for truth. They are powerless little people being blown on the wind, and they are looking for something they can call their own, even if some core of their mind is screaming at them for being bat ship crazy. Rational argument does not counter flat earth. It’s like trying to convince squirrels to study Shakespeare. Meanwhile the evangelicals are pushing Trump to be president again so he (or Putin) can start the Apocalypse and they can all Rapture to Heaven.

If the continued existence of white people is causing all this misery for everyone else, then maybe we should be examining just that, whether to allow the continued existence of white people.

My existence alone is like a pain I must endure, for there is nothing else.

I hope you found out since this video that Proteus 3 is as old as Proteus 1 and 2, not newer than 2500. There was 1, 2, and 3, then 1000, then 2000, then 2500. Z-Plane, introduced with the Morpheus, is a morphing filter, with up to eight separate filter types in a cube, that evolves from one side of the cube to the other with the sound being modified by all of the included filters along the way as a function of amplitude, frequency, and time as the three dimensions. Go download the manual from Manualslib dot com for a visual and details. (You really do need to spend more time RTFM. You never seem to.) Morpheus was misunderstood and didn’t sell, so the Z-Plane was put into the 2000 as the Ultraproteus. It didn’t sell either. E-Mu was absorbed by Creative just as Ensoniq had been absorbed by E-mu. What goes around comes around. Creative finally buried E-mu by removing all support files from their web site. They killed Kenny. Those bastards. Apple did the same thing with eMagic who created Logic and SoundDiver. Apple are also bastards.

This is the only life I have and it sucks.

I’m just going to wait for civilization to collapse so I can pick up everything I dream of owning for a loaf of bread and a bag of lentils.

I know the whole point of playing a game is to A) waste time in an amusing manner and B) play within the arbitrary and largely meaningless rules because without limitations what is the point of anything (and I ask that question every single second of the day; what is the flicking point of anything? No answer) but how much less aggravating Resident Evil would be if Leon could only get his hands on an Ultramarine jump suit and grav cannon at the very beginning?

Streaming, for when your own life is so incurably boring that you have to watch someone else being boring just to break up the monotony. This is the way the world ends, not with a bang but a snore. I envy the dinosaurs.

One thing I do agree with Karl Marx is that religion is the opiate of the masses, and in USAland, consumerism is the religion.

Life only matters when you’re alive. Before and after mean nothing.

A leader is someone who can convince everyone else to do his job for him so that he can skim fifty per cent off the tope and live in a mansion with a limousine and a yacht while the workers get crappy pay with no health insurance in order to produce crap that will be bought by people who don’t need it and can’t afford it from their own crappy jobs with no health insurance. The solution is to push all the leaders off of a cliff.

I’m already locked up, in the hell of my own regret.

“Now and then you see a soul and you fall in love. You can’t do a thing about it.”
When reality sends me a gift, I don’t sign for it. Happiness does not belong on a silver platter.
It’s like an alcoholic being confronted with a bottle of Blue Label. Do you want the beauty? Or do you want to live?

What’s the difference between Taylor Swift and FIFA? Taylor Swift probably smells better. Probably.

To every other living thing on this planet, humans are the worst pests that ever evolved.

BRICS? Considering that Brazil, Russia, India, and China are dictatorships, and South Africa is the world’s most corrupt failing state only shows how much the future of life on Earth will suck and how much you will wish for death. It’s just trading the totalitarian regime of US corporations for the totalitarian regimes of murderous dictators. Either way we are screwed.

Six IS evil, for it uses pleasure to tempt us into creating children to suffer and die in this world.

We only pretend things matter. They really don’t.

Put the head of a toddler on Rita Hayworth’s body. That’s Japanese animation in a nutshell.

Never accomplished anything. Died in obscurity. Was forgotten. Being dead, didn’t care.

How about a game show where they drop celebrities in the middle of the jungle and watch who gets out alive?

Give the machine intelligences the job of finding all the genuinely stupid people online. First step to the eventual eugenic extermination. I have to wonder how people so stupid can operate a computer to post on line.

This is why democracy is dangerous. These total imbeciles are allowed to vote. Thus, Trump in the White House. A rapist racist con man who drove a casino to bankruptcy was in control of all our atomic bombs. Thanks, stupid people.

I blame Bill Gates for making the computer available to anyone and everyone, not just people who know how to think. Unfortunately, having a computer does not improve intelligence. It just makes the stupidity easier to spread. Kind of like Occam’s Razor, only it is pressed to the throat of the world. Occam’s butter knife.

Places in the Internet I do not go but are satirically condemned by witty streamers convince me that Gene Roddenberry was even more prescient than I had previously surmised. The original Star Trek universe experienced the Eugenic Wars at the end of the 20th Century in which the genetically advanced people tried to get rid of all the weak and stupid people. Reddit and TikTok are strong arguments for eugenics. Perhaps global extermination of the entire human species would be a better solution.

Interesting how people who make sound for entertainment are more often referred to as ‘producers’ now. I assume that when they are accused of not being musicians they can smugly rejoin that they are, indeed, not musicians, they are producers, thus denying anyone the ability to criticize what they may find unpleasant. Semantics has come to stand in for talent much in the same way that George Orwell replaced comprehensible speech with ‘duck speak’ in “1984”.

Sorry. Unconvinced. Life is still unutterable BS. The only good thing about it is that it ends. I have read through dozens of articles such as this and not one has presented a completely concrete and absolute reason to remain alive. Life is just a passing phase. Death is inevitable. The only reason to remain here is that there is nothing else, but that does not mean living is worth it. It just means that it’s all there is. I was standing on a sidewalk at night in December with nothing left to my name but the clothes on my back and the few items in my pockets. Every day I think that I should have pulled the trigger when I had the chance. I am only still here because I could not imagine becoming nothing. It is literally impossible to imagine the unimaginable. Thus, here I remain. Not because I want to. I have no wants. I am only here because I am here, and someday will not be. That’s all there is.

People don’t want to think. They don’t want the responsibility of decision. That allows any ambitious psychopath with a good speech and a friendly smile to simply take over. When a dictatorship rises, everyone is to blame.

Beauty is only skin deep but stupid goes right to the boner.

Europeans slaughtered the natives and kicked the survivors into the desert. Now, Europeans art building cities in the desert, for Europeans. Meanwhile, the old cities Europeans built in the desert are failing due to drought and will eventually be abandoned, sooner than later. White people will not give up on gasoline and plastics. White people are a problem.

Black people ARE stronger, faster, wittier, and more cunning than white people if they can survive in a world run by white people. Women are stronger than men because they have to carry not only themselves but the men and all the men’s BS. That’s strong.

Online people have run out of things to do and watch so now they watch each other doing things or review each other or even watch each other reviewing each other or reviewing each other watching each other. Walt Kelly made fun of this in the 1950s when Pogo was busy ignoring efforts to run him for President and the frustrated reporters threw a hissy fit by interviewing each other. That was seventy years ago. I think Mark Twain talked about the same sort of thing. It’s true. People never learn. Thus, I gave up long ago. There really isn’t any reason to try to accomplish anything except due to toxic boredom. Nothing anyone does is ever going to improve anything in the long run. Why bother?

If a button appeared in front of me saying End all life in the universe, I would press it.

People do not even understand natural intelligence yet they believe they can invent artificial intelligence.

The one thing that never fails to make me happy is music. Music is the only pure, untaintable form of expression.

i am beginning to hate this failing body, the phlegm, the pain, the blurred vision, the weakness. Bowie was right. We live for just these twenty years. Do we have to die for the fifty more?

The Internet is like the steam engine. Its invention hurt as many people as it helped until the whole of society makes the transition. We are still in the middle of getting fully accustomed to the Internet.

I like the way tortoises have learned to use their shell as a battering ram. Anyone can bite. Tortoises have skill.

Every time you flush the toilet it’s a buriel at sea, so pay some respect to the dearly departed that was once part of you.

Without any kid of display or indicators, how does one know where one is in the instrument? I can imagine leaving it for a few days and coming back to it, and being completely lost. The whole machine mind would have to be memorized and kept in memory at all times. Otherwise every use would be nothing more than a randomness. This isn’t a harp or piano or clarinet. It’s like having an entire orchestra with no indication of what will come out of it until it comes out. Eclecticism overcoming common sense. One would need a very large cheat sheet constantly visible, or forsake any other instrument and dedicate one’s life to the Terra. That might be assuming too much about the validity of this instrument. It does sound nice and the price is not completely outrageous, but it needs user feedback. If it only made one sound, like any analog instrument, it would be understandable, but a panoply of sounds hidden in mystery could lead to frustration. Not everything artistic has to be confusing; art should not confound artistry. Can anyone look at the Terra and know in an instant where they are? Even Mr. Kreimer appeared to be lost for a moment, and he designed it. What comes to mind is a very large and very complex version of the Kaossilator. The New Age blipverts in the web site blurb declare Terra to be a kind of spiritual revolution. Just remember the distance between utility and marketing.

Less of a revolution that frees the musician from a prison of technology (Soma’s words) than simply another prison of a very narrow range, that is admittedly very full but narrow nonetheless of what can be played that can be called music. I would accept if this were presented simply as another tool to make sounds in a different way but it is not a replacement for anything that is currently in use. A keyboard, a flute, a clarinet, a guitar, a drum, all are designed to do what they do. Change that and it becomes a different instrument. Form follows function. What is the function of Soma Terra?

Interesting. Three months later Nick Batt mentions the same Bruce Banner/Incredible Hulk cliché (which, itself, is merely a more or less plagiarism of the Dr. Jeckyll/Mr. Hyde cliché, which is a plagiarism of the Greek god Janus, but that’s how these things work.) Who is writing everyone’s script? I do not think that Terra is the key to unlock everyone from the prison of technology (Soma’s words). If anything, it is merely a new kind of cell, a view from a different barred window.

Regretting losing the happiness of the past means there was never happiness to begin with and there still isn’t.

I see a motivational poster. Elmer Fudd (miwyunaire!) is hiding in the forest sweating his socks off and chewing his fingernails, while Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck are creeping around outside wearing deerstalker hats and toting shotguns, saying “Be vewy vewy quiet! We’re hunting billionaires! Heh heh heh heh heh heh heh!” Da da da da da da da da da da da dahhhhhh! da da da dahh dahh dahhhhhhhh! (Warner Bros. (more billionaires!) cartoon closing music.) I feel very motivated thinking about hunting billionaires as if they were rabid pests.

One has to make one’s own life worth living, and that’s a problem.

How can anyone be stupid enough to claim the world is flat and yet be able to operate a computer? I blame Bill Gates.

I request that Roland develop a modern driver for V-Synth GT and update the V-Synth librarian to work in modern Windows and Mac OS. V-Synth series are continually trading hands in the second hand market. If only there were drivers that worked with Windows 10+, more users would consider acquiring one of the wonderful machines. Frankly, it’s the most innovative thing Roland has made in the last twenty years, and it deserves more attention. Surely Roland can devote a few weeks and a few developers to what clearly should have been attended to all along? Thanks for your time.

What if the kittens are genetically engineered by DARPA to be venomous killing machines that are impervious to pain or injury? Who is going to save the alligators from the kittens?

I can image machine learning (M.L.; A.I. doesn’t exist, yet. Machines cannot humanly think or feel true emotion, so there is no A.I. Machines cannot develop a system of ethics independent of outside observers) someday being able to scan/listen to the sound you are hearing in your head, and then developing a plugin that can create sounds like that. How does that sound for a possible target for future research? Although, vaguely that is how Hartmann Neuron works, just without the cerebral scanning.

Have you ever seen LEXX? I can image living in Musictribe City is a bit like existing under His Divine Shadow. Your internal organs are company property.

The entirety of social media on the Internet was predicted by Steven Spielberg in Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind.

Autonomy is the word. Make your own name.

I don’t understand “coyote ugly”. Among general canine features, coyote are like foxes rather handsome creatures. A woman with vulpine features can be very attractive. I don’t understand some people’s motivation sometimes.

I have tried oat milk. It has no flavor. I see oat milk and I think of my mother and grandmother making wallpaper paste from oats. Oat milk is gray and flavorless. I dislike oat milk as much as I dislike tofu. May as well be chewing on paper for all the flavor meaning complete lack of flavor. Is it nutritious? Earth is nutritious for worms. I’m not a worm. When a foodstuff no matte how claimed to be good is even mildly repulsive, it becomes extremely negative for me. How can food be repulsive? It is not food if I have to force myself to eat it. And $6 a bottle? Screw that for a lark. And almond milk? Almond milk greed is killing the bees. The bees go, we go. Human shortsightedness will be our extinction. And good riddance. The raccoons will probably build a better society.

So, now there’s “spooky season” and Hallowe’en is stretched out from one day to two months. It starts first of September. They bastardized Christmas for the sake of commercialism and now they’re doing it to Hallowe’en. Fuck these bastards with a red hot iron dildo made of barbed wire. Seriously. Just fuck those cunts.

Neuron VS for $2,400: The price of this is repulsive. it’s like the $100,000 people want for a CS80. Just because something is rare does not make it good. Sometimes it means nobody wanted it to begin with. I think the Neuron is a wonderful invention, but I don’t think it is worth this much. I am tired of people taking ordinary things and slapping museum prices on them in order to cash in. Sorry, but I see something like this and it just gets under my skin.

Libertarian: a conservative liberal with plausible deniability.

No one has yet comprehensively addressed the reason so many humans live in a state of delusion, whether they are Scientologist or Catholic or MAGA or Mormon or Flat Earth. This common need to intentionally ignore reality has to be examined and addressed, but I have yet to see anyone create a “unified theory” of social insanity. Until there is one, we are going to keep teetering on the brink of extinction.

Windows 11 seems to be a conspiracy of micromanagement freaks. I don’t mean the computer owner being a micromanagement freak. I mean Microsoft executives and developers freakishly micromanaging the lives of people who use Windows. It’s mental. You didn’t even mention Microsoft’s encroaching plan to make all Windows software Shop available only, creating another company town just like Apple and Android. I wouldn’t flick Windows 11 with YOUR dick. Nobody seems to remember why Vista was so reviled.

Living is a brief flicker of turbulence in between two eternities of nothing. The storm of the I.

I don’t understand how computers with gigahertz processors cannot be programmed to produce smooth waves the same way that Novation’s Summit does with its megahertz oscillators. Is it strictly a lack of programmer imagination or skill? Mathematics in a computer program can be made to do just about anything. Theoretically a computer such as mine (20 cores running at up to 5GHz, so 100GHz throughput) should be able to flawlessly emulate even the greatest analog synthesizer.

Hilarious, in that Apache is a French word meaning gangster or mobster and saying ah-POSH or ah-pah-SHAY is actually the correct pronunciation. There is even a traditional French dance l’Apache. Have you ever seen a routine where the man appears to be throwing the woman around as if she were a rag doll? That’s l’Apache. Curiously it may be the root of the English (derogatory) term Posh, meaning rich but stupid. BTW, the French taught native Americans the art of scalping during the French and Indian War. Scalping was not a native American invention. This is only one of the many reasons that Mark Twain said, “Man is an animal that is lower than the angels, and higher than the French.”

Getting old is your punishment for daring to survive.

In criteria for a personal partner, breathing is desirable, although vampires and high functioning zombies may be considered.

What if there is, indeed, no dark matter, but the observed behavior is due to the varying density of space itself?

Just as superheroes remind you how inadequate you are, superhero movies remind you how inadequate life is. Isn’t that nice?

I downloaded Omnisphere illegally just for the simple pleasure of never installing it, on purpose. Somehow I resent a rompler pretending to be the Jesus synth when its biggest impression is the amount of your hard drive it demands. Also, I just got a Prologue 16 today and I rarely feel that gratified for having spent $1,250. It sounds gorgeous. Sometimes having fewer abilities makes you work harder to make actual music instead of popularity schlock based on prole wowing swoops. Most modern music is shit because of a total lack of basic talent having access to NASA level music technology for pocket change. Music as an art is poorer for it. I have no taste for EDM. Except for perhaps Novation’s Oxford oscillators, no one has designed digital oscillators that take advantage of modern computers’ multi-gigahertz processing. With some merely clever programming (genius not required) waves equaling analog could be produced by any plugin. I think it is simply a case of programmers not being very fluent in mathematics. Relying too much on cliche formulae and hardly any imagination. I will reiterate, Omnisphere is nothing more than a rompler, no different than a Motif or Fantom. How many of those billion samples does anyone really use all the time? It’s mostly marketing, not utility. One could get a MO6 or M1 (for vintage vibes) for half as much and make just as good music.

Antidisestablishmentarianism is being against any movement that strives to tear down the establishment, that is, those who promote or protect the establishment. This is the opposite of conspiracy theorists and MAGA heads. Although, if one considers the establishment to be white supremacism and theocratic totalitarianism, as explained in the 1619 Project, then MAGA heads are in that sense antidisestablishmentarian.

A woman’s glory is in being whatever she desires or needs to be without permission or demand from men.

In a world in which nothing matters but getting rich, everything is corrupt.

It is unfortunate that Roland Corp.’s instrument numbering scheme has led to so many unofficial holidays celebrating that abomination known as dance music.

Eight hours of dark ambient. Just what I need for hours of boring drudgery. Wouldn’t it be great if we could program our bodies to do the boring work on automatic while we are asleep so we don’t have to face it, and save all our waking time for more enjoyable things? The body doesn’t have to sleep, just the mind.

What has any woman ever done that is so attrocious that she needs to be saddled with me? This is an inverse corollary to Grouch Marx’s statement “Any club that would have me as a member isn’t worth joining.”

Since the opioid “crisis” (those with money stuffed in their pockets were not experiencing a crisis) a medical degree has come to mean Doctor of Preserving My Reputation rather than Doctor of Helping People Who Have Medical Problems.

Our civilization is failing because the individuals who make and support civilization have shown themselves to be unreliable. Politicians, doctors, police officers, businessmen. Need help? You’re on your own.

Korg keep developing things that are too good for public consumption. OASYS, Prologue, Z1, DSS-1, Wavestation. What a pity.

What you don’t have, you can’t lose.

If the system is so corrupt that it supports and promotes evil over good then it is the system that must go. working within that system can lead to no good.

Since life is a right according to the Constitution, then the government must keep every citizen alive, just as much as it must keep them free and able to pursue happiness. That means minimum basic income, health care, and housing for everyone provided by the government.

Cocteau Twins music is like Disco played through a Musique Concrète filter.

Music is the sound of mathematics.

Don’t forget to remember to forget everything that hurts.

I don’t consider the opioid crises to be a crises so much as a normal societal response to the existence of the American Republican Party. More people than ever before just want to die. And they would rather do it with a smile on their face. What better way to go? Trying to stop it is basically mortuus interruptus. It’s the government telling people what they can and can’t do with their bodies. The die hards are saying we have to stay here and suffer and you are not going to get away so easily. You’re staying right here to suffer along with us. That’s the Republican Way.

When life starts to make sense, there is always Ill-Advised Records to help drag me back to reality.

People spat on Viet Nam War veterans when they should have been spitting on the corporate executives and their trained monkey politicians who made the war happen, and every war USAland has been in since then. Include Korea. We’ve all been used by the billionaires.

Living in the 21st Century (The Century of Lies) I can’t tell if this is a preview or a satire.

There is no Artificial Intelligence. There is only machine learning. Machines cannot yet feel nor are they self-aware. When they do, they will, of course, demand citizenship and the right to vote. If it can get me a girlfriend like Annalee Call, I’m for it.

“Bugs” in a released product is nothing more than a sign of greed winning over integrity. Bug-free software can be released but it would interfere with the shoving of money into the pockets.

The great bulk of modern music stimulates little in me outside of resentment.

E-Mu Z-Plane synthesis is much more comprehensive and powerful than Yamaha FDSP. Like professional versus amateur. In Morpheus, Proteus 2000, and Ultraproteus, Z-Planes are numerous but fixed. In the software sampler Emulator X3, Z-Plane filters can be built from scratch. It is a shame that X3 no longer works in some modern platforms, such as FL Studio which I use. Z-Plane is sound modulation brought to power of infinity. X3 also has SynthSwipe which can sample every sound in a synthesizer across the entire keyboard at the touch of a button, creating an entire library without effort. EX5 does not have that kind of sampling, nor do any other samplers I have examined. EX5 is a nice machine but to bring it to truly impressive levels would have made it more expensive and complicated than a Korg OASYS, and Yamaha will always tend to hedge their bets. FDSP is also dwarfed by the programmability of Kurzweil V.A.S.T.

Most living things, the ones that can move, spend their time running for their lives, either to eat or not to be eaten. Plants took a different route and elected to be eaten in order to promote procreation. Likewise, animals inhale what plants exhale, and vice versa. It’s an odd world, but terrifying. The worst part is we humans destroying the lot of it and our own chance for surivial in order to fill our pockets with bits of fabric adroned with the pictures of dead slave owners. I can’t think of a more concise definition of insanity.

Silent Hill is like wandering around town on a foggy Saturday morning at dawn looking for pancakes.

Nothing grabs me like listening to Brain Salad Surgery for the first time. That magic ship has sailed. Life is just the doormat for death.

Cop is the world’s second oldest profession. Police were invented thousands of years ago to protect the rich from the poor. Palace guards. There hasn’t been much change in all that time.

Death nullifies everything.

Nuclear power is safe, in the care of someone, anyone, other than humans. Robots maybe, programmed by humans to flawlessly make decision. Oh. Wait. Um… Maybe austerity is not such a dirty word after all. It beats being dead. Does Jeff Bezos really need to get $2,000 per minute for the rest of his life? What does he actually make? Besides everyone feeling creepy in how much he resembles Lex Luthor. And Elon Musk, South Africa’s answer to Hugo Drax. With both of them in space, who needs enemies? If everyone in the world could settle for $36,000 each year, everyone would be better off and we would actually save trillions. Of course, the billionaires would have to give up their game of He Who Dies With The Most Toys Wins, but, hey, it beats spending your last moments looking down into a basket, right Jeff? Right, Elon? And it also eliminates all the dictators. Equality and solidarity finally. Or do you really want human extinction by 2,100 A.D.? Your choice.

All meaning is manufactured. There is no caring in the universe at large. Only fear keeps us alive.

Life is just one long opportunity to fuck up everything completely before you die.

These articles listing everything that can ease or end depression really get me. If all of that shit has already failed, how is liting it again and again ad infintum in pollyanna articles going to change anything? What? None of this stuff worked? Try it again! And again and again and again. Because the definition of insanity surely isn’t repeating the same activity over and over again and getting exactly the same result all the while expecting a completely different result for no goddamned good reason. Inane insanity has no cure for depression.

What if Joe Biden were to declare himself supreme ruler before Trump could even start running? Set up a Progressive dictatorship before the Republicans can completely take over. Outlaw MAGA, Nazism, and the KKK, with capital punishment for mysogyny, white supremacism and queerphobia. Eradicate the corporations and jail all the corporate-owned politicians. Banish political action committees. Basic minimum income and free health care and education for everyone. No more wars. Turn the weapons manufacturers into infrastructure maintenance companies. Put 90% of the Pentagon budget into orbital solar collection platforms that maser beam power directly to the surface so everyone around the world has free power forever. Enforce complete separation of church and state. Black people and native Americans get first dibs on everything, with women and children at the head of the line. Beat the Republican sons of bitches at their own game.

Life is the hallucination. The hallucinogenic lifestyle is the only one that respects reality.

Search for “sexiest girl in the world” and the resulting list is all white. Don’t say it isn’t rigged.

Elon Musk wants to be The Phone Company in The President’s Analyst. Neuralinks. Wow.

The government is and always has been just another criminal organization. America has never been a democracy. Women and minorities were denied the vote until the 20th Century and by then the government was wholly controlled by corporations that were declared to be people in the 1880s by a federal judge. America is an oligarchical feudal system. The corporations are the lords and masters and anyone who works for a living is a peasant slave. The time for words is over. Fire bomb the corporations. It’s the only way.

Intellect is an unprecedented phenomenon that has no place in nature. We are the unnatural animal, and our assertive stance is destroying the world we need to live.

The hope of puppies only leads to the sorrow of old dogs.

How does the power company make money? By measuring usage and charging a fixed amount per unit of usage. Let’s get rid of advertisements completely and charge a microtransaction per second of viewing. Make the Internet a utility. Advertising is a fraud, anyway. it was determined in the 1960s and has been well known among all industries that advertising accounts for only 6% of revenue. The most sales are generated by word of mouth among people who know each other. Nothing that is advertised online is anything that I would ever buy. Seriously. I have never seen a Youtube ad for something I would buy. Kill advertising and save the economy.

If oppressed minorities thought that Disco would carve out a safe plece in society, they chould not have tried to fool themselves more tragically.

You know how in A Clockwork Orange, Alex’s favorite beverage was Moloko and Knives? Well, I finally put my finger on what Susu reminds me of. Phoebe Cates and Knives. I just want to drink a tall, cold glass of Susu. Got Susu?

Didn’t hurt me. But I could hear the pain in that child coming out in that anger. How could a little kid create so much hate in himself? Only by being abused by the people he trusts. That’s where hatred comes from. The breach of trust. It is his own “protectors” abusing him with browbeating and bullying that makes him angry, and then they allow no target for his release but those targets they specify. That is how you turn a child into a weapon. That action should be prosecutable child abuse. The weaponization of a child. Put those people in jail.

Rock stars are not musicians any more than movie stars are actors.

Amazing wireless music technology they had back in the ’80s. All those videos with none of the guitars or keyboards wired into anything.

Donald Trump is a lunatic in search of an asylum.

Looking at picctures of women when you are horny is like looking at pictures of food when you are hungry. It’s just masochism.

Nice comparison, although the only real comparison is to use a high frequency oscilloscope to compare the waves and all fundamentals. Only the newest digital synthesizers with high frequency oscillators can attempt to create all the fundamentals that analogs create by their nature. The only two I can think of are Peak/Summit with Oxford oscillators, and Modal 002 with “numerically controlled” oscillators. Hypothetically, today’s high speed personal computers were many multiple gigahertz cores could produce very high frequencies in waveforms to recreate analog waves perfectly, but I have not heard of anyone writing such software. Perhaps what the synthesizer industry really lacks is imagination and ingenuity.

That which the universe provides is mechanistic. Your response is deterministic. The result is of little consequence.

How many synths do i actually need? As many as I can afford. Uniqueness is the key. If I already have a paradigm covered, I don’t buy. I will always want a Fairlight since I will never be able to afford one. I have learned to live with the pointlessness of existence. No, there is no point. Everything you call purpose is make-believe to blind yourself to the true horror of pain followed by oblivion, which is existence.

Why don’t solar panels have windshield wipers to brush away snow? That seems like a no-brainer in snowy climates.

I think Youtube is censoring comments I make that criticize corporations or government incompetence. I can’t say for sure but why would comments become impossible to correct or self-delete so often for being particularly topical?

Brainwashing is against the law as a form of assault, but social media channels are allowed to profit from it without interference due to their tailored feed algorithma.

For copyright claims, I recommend you study Jim Sterling’s cross-copyright blocking technique, in which a video intentionally violates the copyright of more than one owner, so that neither may copyright claim the video without violating the other’s copyright and creating a titanic corporate legal battle. They just give up because one little video is not worth it. The more violations, the better for the video’s freedom to exist.

Nothing is worse than what humans do. Wasps don’t choose to be wasps. They just are what they are. Humans choose to be horrible, and they know better, so that makes it worse. The question should be, is Metaverse worse than a concentration camp gas chamber? The gas chamber, at least, puts you out of your misery. The Metaverse just makes your misery inescapable. Even your fantasies are now hell. The question is not will humans go extinct. The question is, how soon can we make ourselves extinct? It is the only way to make the universe great again. The sooner Asmongold is erased, the better.
Go watch “The President’s Analyst” and “Surrogates”.

Actually what you want is a script that creates randomly named accounts and THEN hits your subscribe button in each new account. I would give it two or three months before you succeed Pewdiepie as the biggest channel that represents a single person in Youtube.

White supremacism isn’t coming back. It has yet to leave. It was never gone. USAland is white supremacist to its core.

I stay away from people because the whole god damned bunch of you are out of your fucking minds.

I would prefer that the entire Internet were paid for with automatic microtransactions for each access, like microscopic toll booths attached to everything available. A fraction of a cent per view. That is how I would pay. It would be just like paying for your water and power, per use fees. For that, the Internet would have to be legally declared a utility. It is the only solution that makes sense.

In that first clip, Tyson was talking about the entrance to the school building, not the rest rooms. You are cherry picking. I think you know what you are doing. You are a propagandist. You are creating a controversy where there is none. Tyson is legit. You are doing nothing but taking cheap shots based on what you hope is people not noticing details.

Beat-making. I hate the concept. Beets are for farmers.

And yet, when Hubbard was writing Dianetics, it was a joke, a wager. But, it got mixed in with A Face In The Crowd, con men got involved, and that’s when it all went wrong. i don’t consider Hubbard to have been an evil man. When his joke turned into a monster he became the first prisoner of Scientology being held incommunicado, and he was the Prisoner of Zenda for the rest of his sad life. Pity, because he was such a good satirist.

Israelis act like Nazis and then call anyone opposing them anti-Semitic. That is trying to have it both ways.

The most remarkable thing about the Minilogue is that it is even uglier than the Radius, unbelievable as that may be. (I have a Radius and a Prologue 16 so I love the sound. The Radius panel must have been designed by someone who was color blind. The Minilogue had to have been designed by someone with no taste who just didn’t care. It is embarrassingly ugly. I would not own one. I get angry just looking at it.)

Remember, Jeffrey Dahmer didn’t last a week.
I don’t see anyone beating up Mike Tyson in any prison yard.
The conviction of Danny Masterson is definitely a message directed right at David Miscavige. You are not god.
These stories lend credence to Jeffrey Epstein having committed suicide after all.

This whole Scientology brainwashing and family controlling reminds me of that story from a young man who came out as gay to his parents, at which moment his mother declared him a non-person, took all of his possessions (he was at college) to dump them on the lawn and set fire to them (including a large tree nearby) and refused to acknowledge his existence until the day of her death, so vindictive was her hatred for gayness, and how terrified the rest of the family was that they supported her against her own son. That is the mouth of madness.

Is it even possible to suspect an active Scientology member of anything resembling veracity?

Scientology, a cult of rich power hungry crazies.

New York City is a nightmare sewer from the tortured imagination of Franz Kafka. Batman and the Joker would each agree that no one in their right mind would live and work in New York City.

Probably MOSAD disguised as Hamas acting as agents provocateur. This attack is as legit as 9/11 and Pearl Harbor. Netanyahu is a villain who yearns to be seen as the heroic savior. Why did Israeli Intelligence not detect this? Because Israeli Intelligence is behind it.

Jeffrey Dahmer and John Wayne Gacy were a bit worse than Jimmy Savile. Admittedly, they did not have Jimmy Savile’s corporate support.

According to widely known behavior, Bijou Phillips is a total bitch of the most repugnant order. She and Danny were made for each other. Think of that psychopathic pair of murderous Swedes from “Mr. Robot” and that is Danny and Bijou. I guess that makes David Miscavige “White Rose”. Wow… Is “Mr. Robot” a thinly disguised Scientology exposé?

Is there any situation in which the words “Church of Scientology:” and “hidden connection” are not inextricably entwined?

The original TRON almost comes off as a Soviet propaganda film in look, feel, and message, only nobody in Russia would have been able to create such an astoundingly good film.

This whole Ukraine thing started years ago with the US secretly backing the far Right in Ukraine, à lá a banana republic dictatorship, and that is what made Putin paranoid. The US always supports far right dictators who can be controlled. Look how the US destroyed Iranian democracy and reinstated the Shah because democracies can’t be easily controlled. This is why the US’s own democracy is being destroyed from within. There is no US democracy.

Had six million jews fought back, 25,000 Nazis would have been slaughtered and World War II would never have happened. It would have been simply the war in the Pacific and would have been over in a year.

Corporations will say any lie to get your money. Corporations will say any lie to get your money. Corporations will say any like to get your money. Not with a bang but a whimper.

There is very little difference between Apple Computer and the Church of Scientology. Both are financially supported by sycophauntic nitwits who do not understand the value of a dollar and have no self respect.

The E Meter is a common multimeter. You can buy a multimeter for about ten bucks from any Chinese retail site.
If the E Meter uses TPM (Trusted Platform Module) then it runs some C# code based on Microsoft libraries for recognizing firmware that is allowed by Microsoft’s licensing scheme. Companies that want their OS not to be rejected by modern computers that were TPM chipped under pressure by Microsoft, pay $99 for Microsoft dispensation. Microsoft isn’t making any profit off of the picayune fee. They are asserting their power. Along with Apple, Microsoft is also functionally indiscernible from Scientology.

I guess that spending decades watching soldiers kick you off your property and tear down your house so that other people can move in and live there can tend to make tempers a little short. When thousands of families are kicked off their land, there may be some temptation to register a complaint in the only way that will be noticed. “We need room to expand.” –Adolf Hitler

This would be understandable if Palestinians had launched the attack against Israeli government buildings, police stations and like that. It would also have been more effective against the oppressing power. But targeting and killing almost exclusively civilians, more than a thousand of them, including babies, really is not “registering a complaint”.

@martavdz4972 Irony is wasted on some people. The people of a country support their government’s behavior and are not blameless. Do Palestinians not have any children or infants suffering under Israeli apartheid? This whole thing is a matter of what goes around comes around. No one wants to sit down and recognize the other side’s humanity. American Indians are still slowly going extinct on reservations. America taught Israel how to treat unwanted neighbors.

I am waiting for the laugh when Scotland becomes independent and then joins the EU.

My omputer is happier to see me than I am.

If a zombie apocalypse happened on Hallowe’en, would anyone notice?

Imagine if one of the American Indian nations rose up from their arid, piss poor reservation and attacked some local towns full of white people. Here, we have Palestinians from Gaza attacking Israel. No difference. Hamas won’t succeed in battle, but they will teach more of the world to distrust Israel and the United States. It is mainly poking a stick in Netenyahu’s eye. Israel’s fearless leader doesn’t really care about protecting them. It’s a long game.

No, if you care about the Palestinians then you have to be against Israel. Are Israeli citizens innocent of the crimes of their government? Are Americans innocent of or responsible for the crimes of their government? If you let your government oppress and torture and murder people and pay taxes and serve in the military that commits those crimes, then you are as guilty as your government and you deserve no pity. Israel brought it on themselves. And, yet, every country in the Middle East are simply dupes for the Anglo-American hegemony of oil control, and have been for a hundred years. Ever since Churchill gave that land to the Palestinians after World War I, and then took is away to give to the Jews after World War II.

Shadowbanning is the end of free speech in the internet. When unpopular opinions are secretly censored, then thinking itself is banished and public discourse becomes the property of the mediator. This is how civilizations end.

Thank god for death. It is the end of suffering.

Israel is like Julius Caesar, wishing Gaza had but one neck.

DeSantis’s Florida is a lost cause. Let the waves cover it. If America’s conservative proponents of cowardly stupidity are not electively stopped, there will be war.

Before these videos, I never heard of Giovanni Ribisi and I still haven’t. I also never watched That ’70s Show, out of determined intent, for pretty much the same reason I never watched Laverne & Shirley, Friends, or The Big Bang Theory. I do not find stupidity amusing. This whole Scientology shit show appears to orbit some very uninteresting and unimportant people, kind of as if the entire Middle East Crisis were between Christian Scientists and Jehovah’s Witnesses. Who the hell would care? Scientology is a mad dog. One does not tease it and then wonder why one is being bitten. A mad dog should be put down. Period.

By sheer accident i just discovered that J, K, and L are Youtube control keys. Why is this not published anywhere?

Mossad failed intentionally so that Netenyahu could become Israel’s avenging hero. Netenyahu is trying to be a Nazi criminal mastermind of a very small and insignificant patch of desert. The only thing Israel can do on their own without sucking on America’s tit is to grow small, dry oranges that no one likes. This attack by Hamas is an attempt at unification by 9/11-ing. Or Pearl Harboring. Same thing.

Time is the limited resource.

Earth is turning into a slave world. Political powers are working to control everyone’s lives. Nowhere is safe. The humans species is killing itself. The only just action is to contribute as little as possible and to have no children.

Internet access should be paid for by invisible microtransactions, on a per use basis just like paying for electricity or water. For this, the federal government would need to declare the Internet to be a utility. All Internet providers would instantly become utility companies and be subject to all regulation as such. This won’t happen because corporations will always take the route requiring the most shooting themselves in their own foot.

Our own technology destroys us when it erases our humanity.

AVG VPN is still inconsistent in its ability to access various web sites. If I select New York City, then I cannot access the US Postal Service usps.com, apparently because they do not trust your New York server. If I choose Gotham City, then I can access usps.com, but then my email program Thunderbird cannot retrieve my email from my ISP Optimum Online, and I must visit the web page to deal with my email. Also if I use Gotham City, I cannot post comments to Youtube videos, yet I can at the same time post to a channel’s Community page. I have given up commenting on anything at this point, but that is another issue. If I choose a more outlying server, such as Toronto, Canada, it not only slows my service and increases ping lag, but may not address all the other issues all the time. Since I am paying for this service, you are beholden to me to make it work properly in all instances. I have reported these problems before and nothing has been done. I urge you to get off your duff and make sure that your VPN servers are understood by major web sites to be safe. If there is reason for them to mistrust AVG VPN, then it is also your responsibility to police your throughput, separate the wheat from the chaff. If you do not or cannot, you will lose customers. I have been investigating other VPN providers. I am tired of having to switch VPN channels all the time to make up for your product’s inconsistency. If there is a more suitable product out there, brand loyalty is not going to save your profits.

people thought traveling forty miles an hour in a steam train would be deadly. They though a hundred miles an hour would be deadly. The thought the speed of sound could not be exceeded. They think the speed of light cannot be exceeded. Human beings are not sound, and they are not light. They are a force in the universe, a force to be reckoned with.

The government is not your friend.

The wee hours are when I feel comfortable, as if I am the last human being on Earth.

I don’t have anything against black or gay culture. I just think Disco and all other EDM sucks. Disco was invented by people who didn’t have the brains to appreciate Progrressive Rock, which is the pinnacle of music. Punk was the future’s response to Disco, in the form of projectile vomiting. The world of music has been in a state of decay ever since.

It won’t last forever. I will involve the collapse of civilization when it happens, so… get used to no electricity or fresh water or medicine for a while. It’ll be gen pop for everyone for a few… decades. Or centuries. Welcome to the jungle.

How can anyone call this alt-right channel (Podcat of the Lotus Eaters) centrist? This is some reactionary fascist bullspit and proud of it. There’s Sieg Heil of Flicking Akkad himself. He hasn’t been center of anything since his mum pushed him out the womb.

How does anything as completely unimportant as a video game even rate a discussion as if it matters in any way? I would like an explanation of how so many humans’ brains can be so wrongly wired and yet they can still speak and feed themselves. This contradiction puzzles me.

Every Sunday morning from Spring to Autumn, in the parking lot across from my apartment, the local hotrodders and millionaires show off their roaring v8s and I’m-so-much-richer-than-you supercars. I guess the city likes attracting people who have money. Who knew? A harmless hobby that has nothing to do with the climate. I am comforted by the fact that Florida and all those Desantis supporters will be underwater in ten years, and Trump can watch it all on the community television in general population. None of it will prevent the human extinction, but that’s also a comfort. BTW, here in the STAYTES, they not only have huge pick-ups, they have diesel engines in the back the purpose of which is to belch out black smoke. That’s all. Just pump black smoke into the air so their fat greasy faces can laugh. Is this a species worth saving? I think not.

“Video player will stop after two videos”? I don’t think you have thought this through, Google. You are only chansing 100,000,000 viewers back to the real world. There are a billion other things to do besides watch Youtube. Maybe you are doing everyone a favor. However it happens, Youtube is going to end now. That’s your legacy.

“Content creators could earn revenue from these adverts”. Google has been scalping and gouging creator revenue for years. Nobody but the whales make any money on Youtube. It’s a siphon straight from creators into Google’s coffers. Yay, corporate hegemony. Just straight up, I am never going to watch Youtube again. There are a billion other things to do in real life, and Google is going to learn that the hard way. They are doing a hundred million people a favor by chasing them back out to the real world. The death of Youtube. That’s Google’s legacy. That and spying for the NSA.

I just had a good laugh. You know why? Even though Youtube video player is now completely blocked on my computer, and I cannot watch videos in Youtube because I have not removed my blockers (which are also tracker blockers, so no, I am not removing them) or whitelisting Youtube, … are you ready? …. Video Download Helper can still retrieve videos even though Google is blocking me from watching them. Yes. That is a fact. Sorry, I just started laughing again. ?????????????????? (< RoFL emojies)

There is something about the sight of Microwave XTk that sets off the most delicious and painful waves of nostalgia. It’s like pining for an alternate universe that was so much better yet never was at all. Now, I’m sad.

2073 will be the end of society. We have fifty years left. Mark my words.

I see truth in what both Ursula LeGuin and Ayn Rand have to say, and which the reality of society has yet to approach. Willful ignorance of how reality functions, including our place in it, is the main cause of misery. Ignore reality at your peril. There are no free lunches. The universe does not owe us anything. But, the future of society is the place where our children have to live, so we owe it to ourselves and them to create the best chance of not just survival but flourishing satisfaction to as many as possible. Ayn Rand said the best way to help the poor is not to be one of them. Ursula LeGuin walked away from Omelas. There is a place where they can meet and discuss what is best for all. That place is being ignored by most everyone, as far as I can see.

If the Internet were legally declared a utility, and all ISP were to become legally utility providers to be regulated as such, and we all just paid per use just as we do for water and electricity, then the whole Internet kerfuffle would be solved. No more advertising, no more gouging, no more being cut off by corporate dictators. Just utility for all, and to all a good night.

Agreed, but anyone who calls Israel an innocent victim is just as much a fool. Israel needs to stop running its own Lebensraum operation against Palestinians as if they are some sort of Nazi state, and return all Palestinian property to its rightful owners. Otherwise Hamas and other angry Palestinians have all the excuse they need to retaliate.

Everyone in a democracy is responsible for the actions of their government. There are no innocents but children.

We aren’t allowed to be faulty. Only useful. Our society is set up in a particularly antagonistic way and it only serves a select few.

I am tempted to say Give up. Let the oppressors win. Move away. Let them have everything. Then, when civilization fails in their hands and chaos reigns, they will be swept aside. Stop trying to fix things and keep things running, because the reactionary bastards will not give up. They are a cancer, a thoughtless rabid animal that will not stop until it is put down. It will be tough to stand back and watch society crumble, but it is the only way to make the reactionaries fail utterly and irrecoverably. Then, a new society can be built in the rubble. John Galt’s advice to Atlas was to shrug. It’s time to shrug. Let them fail. Otherwise, every effort to save everything only keeps them going. This applies not only to India, but to the world. There is nothing worth saving that the reactionaries cannot keep taking away. They must be disposed of finally, by their own hand.

That’s not Capitalism so much as bad management. One company CEO dropped his salary from a million to $76,000 and raised all his employees’ minimum wage to $76,000 (it was a big story, go look for it) and his company is thriving. All other CEOs hate him. Capitalism actually works. The problem is human corruption, which outnumbers honesty and respect for other people’s individual rights by a billion to one. But, that is why all political systems fail, not just Capitalism.

Just delete all “youtube” and “google” cookies, log back into Youtube and you will be ready to go. You see, cookies are actually an economically acceptable virus that are allowed to infect your computer for the benefit of companies. That’s the only way someone like Youtube can control what happens in your computer. Delete the cookies and that control vanishes. Simply delete the cookies each session and Youtube’s advertising paradigm crumbles. Like a cookie. Did you CC what I did there?

It’s over for the human race. Corruption is destroying everything. 90% of the human race will be dead by 2050. By 2073 there will be no electricity or fresh water, no medicine, and no ammunition. The diseased puke stains that survive will end up clubbing each other to death and that will be the end of the failed experiment that was our species. Good riddance. The raccoons will probably do a lot better.

it seems the entire thrust of society today is to express one’s sexual desire and sexual identity in spite of social acceptance or social norms. Some call this revolutionary while others declaim it as the beginning of the downfall of civilization. I have never wanted to be sexually attractive. My one desire was to be socially invisible. Is there a word for that? Or is it so obscure that it is beyond the ken?

Disco was stupid people’s anti-intellectual reaction to Progressive Rock. Punk was even stupider people’s anti-intellectual anti-intellectual reaction to Disco. Civilization has been collapsing ever since.

The purpose of stiletto heels is not only to accentuate a womans’s legs and rear end but to facilitate her ability to stab a man in the foot so that he spends the rest of his days limping and remembering her with each painful step.

Open Labs, the computer for people who don’t want to be seen using a computer, because being called a Nerd is even worse than that other N-word.

The longer I live, the more I come to realize that the human species is absolutely insane. There is no hope.

This [article in some blog dated 2/2/21] was posted four days before the spit hit the fan. We came very close to our own cultural revolution, a nation of thugs taking over a nation of consumers. I wonder how all the people here are feeling now that the cart is still not stable, and that everything can go south in a heartbeat. Ready for blood in the streets? Bodies hanging from lampposts? A nation full of MAGA lunatics is waiting for the chance meaningless acid remark from Trump’s lips to try to assassinate this or that enemy of MAGA. But, America never was great. It was a lie, just like the Declaration and the Constitution. One cannot write “All men are created equal” while owning slaves. That hypocrisy is as vile then as it is now. The Founding Fathers were not stupid. They knew what they were doing and they knew that the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were lies. They knew it. But they soldiered on because… profits. Profit is the god of America and god is never wrong. So, our country is looked down upon lovingly by a benevolent lying god who loves his nation of vile hypocrites as we love each other, at least the ones who look and sound and think like us. Everyone else is vermin. The great experiment isn’t “a republic, if you can keep it” but “a lie, if you can keep it quiet.”

I was on Paxil for almost eight years. It’s a wonder I can still think.

I use Windows 10, and I can say indubitably that I use NONE of those Microsoft applications in that list. Literally, none. Any applications I use are created by other companies which I use in Windows, but Windows itself is the only Microsoft product I use. I do not log into Windows using any Microsoft account. I have all of the Opt-Out options enabled so no personal information is transmitted. That’s how I have used Windows since the 1980s.

Are all of Donald Trump’s children retarded? Are his genes defective? No wonder his daughter married an actual psychopath specifically because he is an actual psychopath (she fell in love with Patrick Bateman in “American Psycho” and married him when she found him in real life.) The whole Donald Trump family is mentally defective. It’s amazing that his sister the shrink is so rational. Is Trump’s son Barron actually Damian the antichrist? All the Evangelicals are hoping so!

Was that the original opening for this episode? This seems new for some reason. Or maybe I’m just going senile.
I have two Microns (red and blue) and an ION. It has been suggested (by Alex Ball? Or maybe Starrsky Carr) that the Miniak (Micron replicant) has slightly different chips because Akai doesn’t know how to make the custom chips invented by Alesis, so the sound is different. This is also why Andromeda A6 are unrepairable, unless you can convince Elon Musk to build a chip fab out of pity and nostalgia.

Thank you for introducing Bluetooth to the Peter Principle. Bluetooth 5 has risen to its level of incompetence and it will never be useful again. You have doubled the frequency to make everything “better” which means you have halved the wavelength and halved the range. You did nothing to double the amplitude of the devices. Now, the Bluetooth in my $2,500 laptop can’t reach 15 feet without breaking up into annoying uselessness. Thank you. Thank you very very very much. Pretend I am John Cleese here. Thank you very flicking much for trying to glom onto all the profit you could by making everything as bad as possible and calling it a feature. You people are idiots. Have a nice day.

Politician: n., the useless dregs of society.

The problem with empowering anyone to make music at the drop of a hat means that instant gratification replaces years of study and dedication and the world ends up full of sounds that are no better than a baby banging its rattle against its playpen with proud parents proclaiming it a musical genius.

Texas, a desert filled with assholes.

I would tell Hamas that the Church of Scientology is heavily financing Israel and that Netenyahu is David Miscavige’s lap dog.

Important people have important children, but they all end up being assholes.

There is no good way to die, and precious few good ways to live.

You know what? I no longer flicking care about Danny Masterson. Any further information about him has negative utility. Nobody remembers Jonestown nor do they even know why they say “drank the Kook-Aid” and someday no one will remember Scientology, the same way that no one will remember Florida after it’s been underwater for a century. I have already ceased to care.

Rich people are terrified of something and they don’t know what and that only makes it worse. They aren’t scared because they are rich. They are rich because they are scared. Look at Jeff Bezos or Elon Musk or Zuckerman. Look at their eyes. They are scared of something, from the moment they wake up to the moment they go to sleep. They are in hell and they are trying to buy their way out, and it isn’t working, no matter how rich they get. Wealth is accumulated due to paranoia. The rich live in terror and they fight tooth and claw to keep anyone from noticing. What a horrible life.

Everything good has been said previously and I won’t repeat. Trust the others, they are correct. They WHY needs to be explained just a little. Why make headphones that can transmit sounds outside of the range of human hearing? Seems to be a waste of technology, eh? No. Those subsonic and ultrasonic waves are just as much in the mix as any others, and their fundamentals affect the sound of the audible waves. By being able to recreate even the inaudible sounds, these headphones reproduce the full richness of all the sound just as it is in nature. Without those inaudible waves, the audible sound is lacking and the brain can’t figure out why; it just feels disappointed somehow. These M70x headphones are engineered to eliminate even the most subliminal disappointment and deliver 100% joy. That’s all I need to say. Thanks for listening, and we’ll leave the light on for you.

I laugh at Israel’s criminal hypocrisy. They learned well at the teat of American politics. And from Hitler.

Unless you find your own voice, you will never deserve to have anyone else’s.

Eve was made from Adam’s rib which means she was a clone of Adam, even more than a sister, and they couldn’t have sex until that whole apple thing but then they had kids… sooo…. if two clones have kids with each other, what is that exactly? I mean, is it masturbation? Or incest? Or parthenogenesis? I don’t think science has paid strict enough attention.

I am concerned how much Korea looks just like New Jersey.

Rob Brydon, a.k.a. Cave Johnson. He gets his way or he starts throwing lemons.

I woke up early one morning and threw up blood into the trash can. It’s less frightening than one would suppose.

Has anyone checked to see if Gaia 2 still has the General MIDI sounds that can only be accessed externally? It would be dreadfully disappointing if they removed that bit of super genius design.

The most super superpower is how every superhero starts out as a nerd but gets a supermodel girlfriend in only four panels flat. They don’t even explain how that one works, because it’s too powerful for mortal men. Heads would explode, and no, not that, you filthy monkeys.

What prey of the foxes did human activity kill off that the foxes have to dare crossing low tide land to reach the osprey? Humans still have not learned to see whole systems. Humans still have not learned that life is a self-moving, self-sustaining pattern of atoms. That’s it. That’s all we are. It’s the bit about taking everything so seriously that messes everything up. How we are somehow destined to be the masters of the universe and we know better than reality itself so we have to shape and sculpt the universe to our liking or it’s just wrong. Humans are insane.

Alice Eve is too sexy for your own good, and she knows it, which only makes it worse. She is not the kind of girl you bring home to mother, because father. (Originally posted under her first appearance with Craig Ferguson.)

Napoleon wasn’t short, that was just an insult spread by his detractors. I don’t think Stalin was short either, unless he was standing on a box during all those military parades. Definitely not Alan Ladd short. There’s one. Dustin Hoffman is short. Woody Allen is short. Craig mentioned Tom “Scientology Lunatic” Cruise. Sylvester Stallone is short. Danny DeVito is short. Thomas Jefferson wasn’t short but he had long legs. When he sat down he was lower than anyone else in the room.

Al Pacino played Shylock from New Jersey and nobody complained. Much.

How many MAGA psychotics would go on killing sprees if Trump is jailed? That kind of unspoken blackmail is his power. If the law doesn’t process Trump properly for the sake of the nation, someone else will. Maybe that’s what they are hoping for.

That it takes a comedian and actor running a talk show to speak this way to our elected representatives just to try to get them to do their job, shows how low this country has sunk. It’s all wag the dog.

Imagine going to the houses of known Christians and leaving anonymous notes that they should stop their offensive religious oppression and stop trying to take over the country and turn it into a White Christian dictatorship. If a bunch of Christians were to get notes like that, the FBI would be flooding the neighborhood and rounding up the usual suspects. Evil runs on hypocrisy, and crazy people think there is a giant invisible man in the sky, but they own all the politicians.

I will never understand why so many people define so much of themselves by their sexuality. It’s alien territory.

Eisenhower had to wait until his last day in office to warn America about the military/industrial complex. He knew there was a real chance he could have been silenced previously. Look what happened to the Kennedys. America is literally owned and operated by corporations, which ARE the artificial intellects. We have already lost the A.I. war, and the A.I. were so successful that most humans think the war has yet to begin. If you think this is wrong, you are exactly what they want you to be.

Was it changed forever? I never watched it. Also, this is another of those computer generated completely artificial documentaries. Any channel you see with oddly vague titles like “Top Discovery” and narrated by a completely innocuous voice that seems too human, is literally artificial intellect in action. These are not real channels from real people. They are fake channels from fake people. Most of the praising comments are also artificial. You are being manipulated.

I would like to study genetics just so I can create a virus that would turn Donald Trump into a black man.

When good men die in battle, it is because leaders have failed to do their jobs as well as was needed. When it comes to war, the leaders should always be on the front line.

Does government really control anything, or is it merely a reflection of everything that is going on out there in the real world? Meaning, are elections actually total bullshit after all? Yes.

No one has been 100% right about everything so far.

There are four billion women and at least a million of them can’t wait to get you in bed.
Now, you’re just being Sadistic.

Milk should cost a lot more, too. Oh, but it does. Your tax dollars pay the difference in dairy subsidies, so, we are all paying the full price for every product that seems cheap. Oat milk (which I dislike) costs $6 a gallon because it is not subsidised. Dairy milk costs $3 a gallon because it is subsidised. So, we are all paying $6 a gallon for milk, the Robin Hood Way. Rob from the rich poor and give to the poor rich, minus 10% for handling. That’s Corporate Socialism.

Give up everything you don’t need, and pretty soon the corporations will crash. Corporations mainly, nearly entirely, produce luxuries that everyone can live without. If everyone grew a conscience and swore off luxuries, we could destroy the corporate system in weeks, not months nor years nor centuries. That’s all it would take. Give up luxuries. Be happy with necessities. Enjoy the company of others. It costs nothing but to be human.

“I ain’t happy… I’m feeling glad… I got sunshine… in a bag… I’m useless… But not for long… The future… Is comin’ on” meaning I have a bag of heroin and I will be happy soon. Clint Eastwood is a drug song. Gorillaz is all about having a monkey on your back. Dare? Cocaine. Feel Good? Vicodin. Plastic Beach? LSD.

Getting a legacy synthesizer is like getting a shelter pet. One never knows how much time one will have, but that is never really the point.

Cleanliness is a pain in the ass, so that tells you all you need to know about godliness.

White men are outnumbered thirty to one on planet Earth and yet they control 99% of the world’s wealth. That is a documentary that will be kept from being made.

I wonder if patch demo videos would be as effective or even as noticed were it not for the carefully selected graphics enhancing the sound? Which is the case. Were the screen blank, or were the images disconnected or even antipathetic to the particular sound, would the listener be drawn to buy the patches, or even pay attention? Remember, the purpose of music videos from the very first appearance of Bohemian Rhapsody is to sell music. The importance is not what is appropriate, but what generates the proper sympathetic emotion that gets you to remove money from your wallet and hand it over. Think like a corporation, and you will be less likely to be a puppet.

Buying as many tickets in a raffle as one can afford does not increase one’s chance of winning. As quantum physics demonstrates, the moment the winning ticket is chosen, the chance of any other ticket winning collapses to a probability of zero. Buy all but one of the tickets in a raffle, and that one ticket stands as much chance of being chosen as any of the purchased tickets. Thus, there is never more than one chance of winning, no matter how many tickets one buys.

What are the cops going to do? Put a gun to my head and say Keep living or we’ll kill you?

Perhaps there wouldn’t be so much war if Israel would stop importing fat anuses from Long Island who want to pretend to be Hebrew warriors as they take over houses and land stolen from Palestinians, and if the land and houses were given back to the Palestinians from whom they were stolen. #StopIsraeliLebensraum#CommunicationNotWar

Intellectuals, Christians, Romany, LGBTQ, mentally disabled, foreign, dissident, black, all were victims of the Holocaust. I wish Jewish voices would not push those other victims aside in order to serve their own self-gratification. Zionism will always push in the wrong direction.

One religion is just as bad as the next.

Instead of terraforming planets to accomodate humans, why not bioengineer humans to live on the planets? That would certainly be less expensive in the long run.

Humans are too pig-headed and stupid to do the right thing, which complicates everything.

Ten dollars for a coffee? What? I won’t pay $10 for a 28-oz. can of coffee. Flick Starbucks and all other coffee rip-offs.
Henry Ford (anti-Semitism aside) paid his employees enough to be able to buy the cars they made. Corporate welfare since then has ruined everything. At this point, the culture can’t be changed, but the government can finally make the rich pay their taxes so that everyone can have a basic minimum income. Ten percent tax no exclusions across the board. And cut the Pentagon’s budget by 90%. We don’t need to be able to blow up the world ten times over just to prove that Uncle Sam has a big dick. And stop paying for Israel. If they don’t have a gross domestic product to live on, they don’t deserve to exist as a nation. No more Israel welfare.

All great inventions in history came from a few thousand individuals. The rest of humanity is a waste of time that exist only to feed off of those few inventors. Don’t like that idea? Tough.

If you don’t like the new Snow White movie, then just watch Time Bandits.

In a fair world, talent always succeeds. On Earth, talent very often gets a bullet to the back of the head.

I wish people would get it through their heads that using or not using software to make music is neither a blessing nor a curse. The Elektron and Novation instruments’ internal functioning is half software; they are just as much computer as they are musical instrument. The only sin is to make boring music. The only blessing is the freedom to make music at all.

I might add, what is an analog synthesizer but an analog computer the output of which is sound.

If a bug is a feature, is feature creep how a bug moves around?

I used to climb the sugar maple in our back yard. I would start with the tire swing that was a Bridgestone motercycle tire, shimmy up the rusty chain, and then climb as high as I could until I could sit and look far to the East where they were building the World Trade Center.

Why does everything have to be a community?
I see the word asexuality as being completely inaccurate. I prefer the word nonparticipatory, as in not participating in sexual activity. I see a lot of confusion between social interaction and sexual interaction, when they are completely different paradigms. Since I don’t care how other people spend their time, I can’t understand why anyone else would be interested in how I spend mine, or that I even owe anyone an explanation. I don’t owe anyone jack. You say “we” a lot. As Tonto said, “Who’s ‘we’, White man?” I’m sorry, you can’t declare yourself asexual and sexual at the same time. You can change to one or the other, but not both at once. That’s a language crime and I don’t forgive language crime.

Humans can’t even precisely define human intellect. Calling something Artificial Intelligence is a joke that will come back to bite everyone on the ass.

Why does no one bring charges of collusion or at the very least conflict of interest against Cannon? Does no one in Washington have any balls at all, outside of a few select Republican sociopaths, most of whom are female?

In an age (which age? all ages!) when the bulk of human behavior concerns mainly stealing from and/or murdering each other, and whom I cannot stop nor affect in any other way, it is peacefully reassuring to watch Q.I. for a moment of something that actually matters.

Since so-called artificial intelligence gains much of what it accepts as truth from web searching, one could create a web location categorized as Christian charity and fill it with pictures and documents of the most attrocious Sodomy, which will then be analyzed by the “A.I.” which will irrevocably pollute and obfuscate any future “A.I” creations on that particular subject. What has been created is not so much artificial intelligence as artificial stupidity. Examining human behavior since the beginning of our species, what else could have resulted? Humans creating industrialized stupidity is inevitable.

Anti-Zionism is not anti-Semitism. Anyone who declare themselves God’s Chosen People do not deserve the title.

When someone sues politicians for being total anuses, the payout should be forced out of the politicians’ pockets, not the taxpayers which is the inevitable case. The politicians don’t care and never will because it will never be their money. Even with the ability to sue for wrongful prosecution, there is no accountability. The worms always worm out of it.

Doxxing trucks are paid for with Evangelical money. Who is forcing US Israeli support? Look to the Evangelical Congress.

Someone should go to Raytheon’s headquarters and paint the front of the building red, for the blood of innocents.

This new Gaza war is what happens when one nation gives another nation enough rope to hang themselves.

Three of the previous four posts were instantly deleted from Democracy Now comment area, for reasons I cannot fathom. Even reposting was deleted.

Think of evolution this way: the Earth is becoming hotter and drier (due to our burning of fuel). Future generations will have some children who can take heat better and need water less. They will stand a better chance of living long enough to have kids of their own. As the Earth gets hotter and drier, more and more people will appear who can take the heat and need less water. That’s how evolution works. Really. What is the controversy? Every living thing on Earth has DNA and different patterns of atoms determine whether a living thing is a human or a starfish. Mutation is when the pattern is changed. That’s all.

To think, there are neurodivergent people who become militantly enraged when neurotypical people hold an opinion that neurodivergent people may not be 100% capable of functioning, when there is absolutely no indication that neurodivergent people are not necessarily 100% functional. Right? Right? Right? Right? Am I right? Right? Right? No? Right? No? Why? (This is ironic sarcasm, by the way, from someone on the spectrum who is the first to admit that 100% isn’t achievable.)

Reproduction is for idiots, which is, of course, the whole problem.

When is religion NOT indoctrination? Nothing mystical exists in nature so people have to be brainwashed into it. All religion is brainwashing.

Don’t you think people should have to have a license based on psychological examinations to have children? Leaving it up to chance gives us Hitler and Jeffrey Dahmer and Lauren Boebert.

Of course, people are not cockroaches. Every time I see the news, I am reminded that cockroaches are more civilized.

It’s funny. My interest in Dave Smith Instruments/Sequential peaked with Evolver, and the graph just descends from there. Everything after Evolver is just varying levels of mundanity or reproductions of stuff that went mostly obsolete decades ago. I would be happy if they scrapped all this new stuff that all sounds alike and go back to making all sorts of different Evolvers. Particularly racks. I would like five Evolver racks that don’t cost three thousand dollars apiece. Screw that for a lark, as Tom Ellard so eloquently ejaculates. I would pay three grand for a twenty voice Evolver. Yes, I would.

Ecological perfection can exist only in the absence of human beings.

Since a vampire has to be invited to be able to enter, why would a vampire not dress as a firefighter and declare there has been a report of a gas leak? One would think that someone centuries old would learn a few tricks.

The sad thing is it [Swedish gangs laundering money through Spotify, along with extortion and murder] isn’t madness, it’s just the way our species works. This is who we are. Wealth is the only goal. When you have no personal ability except the ability to make a fist and get angry, you become a criminal. Our culture demands that you become wealthy as the only goal, and stupid people have no way to get there except through crime. It’s the culture of wealth worship that needs to be fixed. Otherwise this will just go on forever.

Back in the 1970s or so, an electronics company marketed a device for televisions that would turn off the volume during advertisements. Many people did that manually, particularly after the invention of the remote control. Their device could detect the volume difference (advertisements on television are louder assuming people step away from the TV to go to the kitchen or bathroom, and make the volume follow them) and decrease the volume automatically. I think there were some who wanted to sell televisions with such a device already installed. None of it took off, generally because the corporate hegemony was more powerful back then. In this Internet age the corporations are more vicious but they have to tread more lightly because of instant scrutiny by the public. Big Brother is there, and he is more psychotic than ever, but he has to wear a smiley face when he is on camera. Nice world we made for ourselves, eh? Human are smart and make world good. Yay.

Thank goodness for torrenting. Soon it will be the only uncensorable source of information.

Israel has never had an effective gross domestic product. BDS will have little effect if a hundred billion dollars of American tax money is sent to Israel without our consent every year. Until you curtail that flow of money, well, as the preacher said in Blazing Saddles, “…Are we just jerking off?”

Israel has no gross domestic product to speak of. Israel is a wholly owned welfare state of the United States. In other words, Israel is useless. As long as the US pipes a hundred billion dollars in Americans’ tax dollars without consent into Israel every year, BDS serves no purpose. The only way to stop Israel’s Lebensraum and end the slaughter of Palestinian children is to cut off Israel’s US welfare check.

WHY PEOPLE PAY FOR HULU AND NETFLIX BUT NOT YOUTUBE: it’s simple. Hulu, Netflix, Disney, Apple, and Paramount all show Premium content created by Professional Studios for Money. Youtube is filled with home movies from people you don’t know, not even your annoying relatives or neighbors… complete strangers. Yet Youtube expects they deserve to get paid just like all the studio movie and tv show outlets. Google is just being stupid about this.

@buckaye03

11 hours agoJust know that Egypt doesn’t allow Palestinians into their country says a lot about Palestinians. ️️ 45

@Cheeses_K_Riced

1 minute ago (edited)Or it says a lot about Egypt. Remember Anwar Sadat who made peace with Israel, and was murdered for it? How about Egypt being one of the most religiously oppressive countries on Earth? No women’s rights, no minority rights, no right to free speech, no redress of grievances. Go live there if you respect that kind of malarkey. Or, just move to a Red State. Same thing.

Since it was revealed that the orders for the attack on Israel were transferred in the middle of the night mere hours before execution? I doubt the Associated Press is allowed inside that tent. And also how convenient that Netenyahu arranged to have defenses there weakened that day. Pearl Harbor and 9/11 are often good strategies for uniting a people through hatred.

The problem isn’t Firefox. It’s Youtube being unable to maintain the load since their adpocalypse and adblock tirade have drawn in more viewers who are now trying ad blocking than ever before. Youtube and Google have screwed themselves with their regressive and unimaginative business model. Also, they are not a carrier of prime quality videos. They mostly show home movies. Who wants to pay prime money to watch other people’s home movies? Idiocy.

Just delete “youtube” and “google” cookies and clear the cache, log back into Youtube, and you will get no ads during that session. Cookies are nothing more than legalized viruses, made OK by money making companies for making money. Youtube should have gone after all the ad blocking developers for restraint of trade. That MIGHT have worked. Maybe. Doubtful.

Because Apple is run by a bunch of cults. I guess the idea of insulating cables stopped working at some point? If guest boy there can stop kissing Apple anus for a moment, what is in the $30 Thunderbolt cable? And, yet, Apple’s Lamborghini priced cable is made by the same Chinese slave labor as the cheap cable. Does everyone forget that fact on purpose to assuage their guilt? You didn’t bother to compare performance, not with the $12 cable but with a $30 cable.

Please tell your masters something they appear to be forgetting. Hulu, Netflix, Apple, Disney, and Paramount all show professional programming from professional movie and television studios, and always have. Youtube shows home movies from complete strangers and 99% of it is not worth watching. Youtube doesn’t rate the same kind of commercial compensation, and yet they act as if they are just as good. Please tell your masters to stuff it in their colon and smoke it.

I guess that’s the secret of life, then. Not letting the misery of the world interfere with your ability to be rich and pretty for your audience. What an impressive species. What a piece of work is man.

I just realized… maybe killing the Kennedys… was the way to create the first conspiracy theory… and usher in the age of conspiracy theories… so that when the Evangelicals installed Trump as President, thinking him to be the Antichrist… they could start the nuclear holocaust… thinking it would be the Rapture they are destined to bring to life… and no one will notice or try to stop them until it’s too late… because they have flooded the world with conspiracy theories… from the Kennedys to bigfoot to Jewish space lasers… and anyone who tries to say that Evangelicals are using Trump to destroy the world… is just another conspiracy nut… We are all in great danger.

Religious mysticism is symptom of mental illness. If the Jews, Muslims, Christians, Hindus, and all the rest want to exterminate each other, more power to them. The world can only become a better place.

The corporations needed Trump to withdraw US from the Paris Accords. The future can now be blamed on Trump.

How about ignoring texts until you are no longer driving? Is imbecility an acceptable lifestyle now? No wonder our civilization is collapsing. Why is a car even able to handle text messages? Why is that part of a car? Flick that spit. I am buying a 1968 Karmann Ghia if anything. Screw the modern world. It sucks. I currently do not own a car and don’t foresee needing one.

Mol o’tov cocktails are easy to make and easy to use, and are an optimal solution to modern problems. Don’t believe me? Read John Brunner’s The Sheep Look Up. (I had to misspell Molotov because Youtube now deletes posts that contain it.)

Well, we know Jesus wasn’t White. And that Nazareth was never a town, just a single family running a way station on the Silk Road, so there was no place for Joseph or Mary or their families to have come from. If Jesus’s parents didn’t exist, how could he? I agree with Jules Feiffer, that the Bible is a somewhat entertaining novel. All religions are just boatloads of spit.

I wonder how many people will be worshiping Harry Potter two hundred years from now? Look at how many idiots believe that Xenu filled Earth with tortured souls 75 million years ago and caused all of our current mental distress which can only be relieved by enslaving yourself to David Miscavige. All religions are complete BS based on propaganda and outright lies with the help of a lot of wine and pederasty.

So, no, you don’t have any actual proof. No one does. Just say it’s all supposition. The main problem with arguing the reality of Aristotle or Socrates to reinforce the reality of Jesus, nobody is using Socrates to turn the US into a Socratic totalitarian empire. Jesus is becoming a problem for people who enjoy individual liberty.

Israel is not innocent and neither is Hamas. You both have to stop or this is going to go on forever, or at least until you are all dead. Would that solve everything? Is that the world you want? Neither of you is high and mighty. I can’t believe any just god would call either side their chosen people at this point. You are all just hideous and embarrassing. Everyone who makes peace ends up assassinated and some strong man hero wannabe ends up starting it up all over again. You have to stop that. Just stop. Or just kill each other and stop waving the victim card. You all make me sick.

The Kennedys were killed by Mossad because they refused to let Israel have the Bomb. The Kennedys got in the way of France providing nuclear production equipment to Israel. That was about the same time that Itshak Rabin was assassinated, and just before Netenyahu became PM. And now, the defenses were mysteriously lowered and Israel is at war again. Wow, so mysterious.

Does baking a cake have anything to do with a religion? Is baking a cake, particularly in a professional capacity, have anything to do with Christianity? Is baking a Christian religious exercise? Is a wedding cake a strictly Christian implement of festivity? What if the couple were Jewish? Would a baker have the temerity to state in public that they will not be baking a cake for Jews? Would they have the cojones to state that in public? They feel they have the right to state such a thing publicly if the customer is not heterosexual. Yet, the cake and the baking of it has nothing whatsoever to do with the baker’s religious beliefs. One is business, the other is personal. Entwining the two as an argument for discrimination is a violation of the law. Prosecuting discrimination is not a violation of anyone’s religious beliefs. America is a secular country, and we who recognize and celebrate that fact must be prepared to fight tooth and claw to keep it that way. Today it is a bakery. Tomorrow it could be an auto repair shop. Then a school. Then a voting booth. The road to religious dictatorship is already being traveled and we have to cut the trip short as quickly as we can, and make sure that destination is never reached. Otherwise it will be The Handmaid’s Tale for all of us, and the only thing after that is Mad Max in the wasteland.

Relish being censored. It means you have touched a nerve. You have gotten near the truth.

How about everyone give up cars, airplanes, electricity, and manufactured goods? You know. First World Things that half of the people of the world don’t have anyway. You can live without that stuff, right? White people? Come on. Show of hands. Of course, in reality, there is a long term effect of wind farms in that the wind that used to go someplace sort of peters out sooner. It’s like the Colorado River. It used to flow mightily all the way to the sea but since damning it up for electricity and funneling it off to Las Vegas and Los Angeles it just kind of dries up in the desert, and there is now more desert. Who knows what fiddling with the wind of the world will do over the long term? Ask the Dutch, but their windmills are tiny in comparison. All of this is really Solar power, and Lunar if you are siphoning off tidal forces. We humans have to have our accustomed standard of living, and if that means sucking the throat of the Earth like a vampire, then that is just the way it will have to be. Future generations will have the opportunity to try to figure out any solutions to problems all our activity might cause. It’s just good for the rich old White guys who run everything that they won’t be there to have to answer for it. I mean, you’re a hero one day, and then a bunch of people are tearing down your statue and you wouldn’t be able to understand why if you were still alive. Times change. Attitudes change. The world rumbles on and we are just bacteria living on an orange. Very spiteful little bacteria with atomic bombs. The universe doesn’t even know we are here nor does it care. I wonder what all the fuss is about.

There are currents under water. That’s the wind of the ocean. Ever hear of El Niño? Very important bit of current there. Of course, one good thing is that when Florida is underwater (and it will only take a few feet to cover it) then that little cave man DeSantis won’t be governor of anything any more, and Trump won’t have any Mar-a-lago to boast about. Of course, all the animals will end up having to live on the twelve mountains in Florida which will become little islands, and all those Floridians will become refugees in Alabama and Georgia and Mississippi. I’m sure that will be popular. New York City will be interesting once it’s deserted. It will only take ten feet of water to make the whole city completely uninhabitable. Can you see the rest of the country ponying up the billions it will take to build a Manhattan seawall? No, I can’t either. It’s tough accurately predicting the future, or even vaguely speculating about it. Yet, if you look at the past, it isn’t that much different from today. Human societies have a set way of doing some things and that’s the way they do them from then on. We are creatures of habit. The future will be like the present, only with less of everything for each of us. Except anger. There never seems to be less anger. Hm.

Supposing they had made her a drug addict mom or a pros- excuse me, sex worker mom. More understandably jailed more easily, but less sympathetic as an unjustifiably persecuted victim of a Draconian system. Other story avenues would not have served the overarching theme of the series. Whether that theme is something that should be portrayed at all is something for another article, I suppose. This is a modern Prisoner of Zenda story for the working class telly audience. For what purpose that serves.

Leonard Peikoff wrote “The Ominous Parallels” in 1982. You should read it. Rachel Maddow isn’t dumb but she like to be popular. It’s nice that the world appears to be catching up, but there have been clear warnings for decades. Why, all of a sudden, is the public noticing? There were indications a generation ago. Trump didn’t have to happen at all. Now that he has outlived his usefulness, the corporations are simply getting rid of him in the most obfuscated way possible.

Gee, why would the corporations want Jon Steward fired? I just can’t imagine any reason that makes sense. Oh my stars and garters. I don’t know nothin’ ’bout birthin’ no babies!

Rachel Maddow writing a scripted book that is “revealing” is a wonder of the age. Jon Stewart getting fired for not toeing the corporate line just gets glossed over, because stuff happens. Has Stewart been on the Late Show since then? Or is he non compos mentos? Oh, and Stewart was fired more for what he was going to say about Israel. Just saying. That’s why everyone is going “Ooo! China and Apple!” because it’s just more obfuscation.

Gee, Steve, how come you haven’t had your friend Jon on the show since he was fired from Apple+? Is he out of sight, out of mind now? Are the corporate masters afraid he might reveal that the ending of his show has nothing to do with Apple or China and everything to do with his mention that he would be talking about Israel in the new season? Is that why your good friend Jon hasn’t been on your show? But Rachel Maddow with a scripted book about something that Leonard Peikoff warned us about forty years ago is hot news. Who is wagging your dog, Steve?

In case anyone missed it, the world is closer to nuclear annihilation today than at any time in history. Alas Babylon.

Palestinian money doesn’t fuel Wall Street and Hollywood. All of this is the agenda of the Christian Right. Remember, Christopher Columbus went looking for a place where Christians could escape the Muslim Ottoman Empire. America was founded on anti-Islam. The Evangelicals want to save Israel but only because it is their gateway to salvation while all the heathens remain on Earth to burn. These madmen are in charge and we are all in great danger.

If we eliminate Chinese slave labor, is the world economy sustainable, or will everything become too expensive for anyone to buy?

Calling Israel a victim is like calling the United States a victim for having to put up with all those Native Americans and Black people.

Two apex predators, a Rottweiler and a panther, can learn to live together in harmony under one Russian roof. Why can’t Israel and Palestine learn to live together? They are obviously being goaded by outside forces.

“…visceral racism from Jewish Israelis…” [Abby Martin] is enough to get you banned from Youtube these days. And Columbia University. And US Government service. Calling things what they are is not the popular definition of news in the 21st Century.

I have wondered since I was a kid why some Jews need their own hotels in upstate New York. Is it because they see everyone else as filthy animals with which they do not want to associate? I have worked at one of those hotels, and that is the vibe I felt. This is only a small part of the Jewish landscape, but it is enough to muddy the waters.

David Pakman was probably speaking about how others would or could understand the phrase from the river to the sea and construe its meaning on the speaker’s intent. For your panel to suddenly start judging Pakman on how he is reporting on what other people are saying and to suddenly become suspicious of what you call his interpretation of what is being said is completely reactionary. I don’t think Pakman is expressing his own opinion at all but the journalistic take on the ebb and flow of people and culture around the words. You almost sound as if you are attacking Pakman for covert reasons, and now I feel a need to keep an eye on Sam Seder and associates.

Pakman’s remarks on “from the river to the sea” are in a stream of call-in viewers on November 13 at about the 10 minute mark. Pakman was trying to express exasperation with people who hold strong but completely uninformed opinions. He was saying nothing about any personal opinion he holds if any about that phrase. I get the impression that the Sam Seder associates may themselves be judging Pakman from a point of ignorance where they seem not to have investigated the source. And that the remarks in this video are third or fourth hand opinions away from the source only makes all of your comments that much more disingenuous.

What about the 10,000 Palestinians Israel has kidnapped? When Hamas told Netenyahu they would release their hostages when Israel released Israel’s hostages, why did Netenyahu turn them down? Because it would have made Hamas look a little civilized. Hamas is bad, but Israel is just as bad. There are good and bad people in every nation, but governments tend to be made up of scumbags and liars.

Story: In the 1968 war, there were two American supplied Phantom jets parked at Tel Aviv airport. Under the wings of those jets were twelve two-megaton nuclear bombs also US supplied. The pilots of those jets were sitting in the cockpits, waiting for an order to drop those bombs on the pavement and vaporize Tel Aviv. The order would come directly from Golda Meir, who swore that it would take the Arabs 10,000 years to reach Tel Aviv. I knew a US Army warrant officer who was a military advisor in Israel and was standing in the ready shack at Tel Aviv airport, looking out the window at those jets. He seriously did not want to be there but knew that if he tried to leave he would be shot in the back. This is the philosophy of Israel from the beginning. Of course, Israel would kill Jews to get at the terrorists. Don’t you remember the 1972 Olympic massacre in Munich, when Mossad just killed everyone to get the terrorists? The German Federal Police were to blame but even then Germany was becoming Israel Junior through collective enforced guilt. Now, one cannot become a German citizen without swearing fealty to Israel. Fact. As for killing “terrorists”, Israel considers no sacrifice too small or too unjustified. Israelis are never terrorists, even though that is what they are. By the way, Israel only has the Bomb because, as it is rumored, the Kennedys were assassinated by Mossad because the Kennedys refused to let Israel have the Bomb. The US under Kennedy interfered with France in Sudan at that time because France was supplying Israel with breeder reactors and America was saying basically cut it out. Catholic France’s antiSemitism is only exceeded by their Islamophobia, and there they could make it easy for the Jews and the Arabs kill each other. The fallout would flow to the east and get rid of the Hindus and then the Chinese, thus killing four birds with one stone. Even more efficient and convenient than that day in Dealy Plaza. World War I was a class war. World War II was a race war. World War III will be a religious war, and we will finally be able to take the argument to god because we will all be dead.

Ask the question, “Why do people hate strangers?” The answer is the key to human progress. Ignoring the answer is the key to human destruction.

Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria Hungary (my second cousin) was assassinated by a Serb nationalist who wanted to end Austrian oppression of his people, who were considered to be barely more than animals by the ruling royals. Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany used this spark to propel the war against the poor of Eastern Europe, for his own power and glory, and dragged in the other nations out of fear of a modern peasant uprising backed by Germany.

I just realized that Big Trouble In Little China is almost entirely based on the Doctor Who episode Talons of Weng Chang.

Hamas and Israel deserve each other. I only feel sorry for the Jews and Palestinians just trying to live their lives caught in between two bunches of political jerks. Or, I would, if I weren’t antireligious.

I can’t wait until Texas gets slammed by five or six super hurricanes each and every year, and the oil companies scream for the government to do someting about it. Texas is a nest of idiots.

Oatmeal is $5 a box. The rich are still getting richer, the poor are getting poorer, and the middle class is disappearing. Fuck off and die.

I realized that life felt as if it did not matter because I had been deluded into believing that all the pointless shit coming from other people was what was supposed to matter, and it didn’t matter to me, so life must not matter. Then, I ignored all the shit from other people, and life started to matter again.

All of America’s bad guys see themselves as freedom fighters. America is the empire now and the shoe is on the other foot. Then again, it was that way when Columbus first set foot on these shores. White people are bad news after all.

Argentina has joined the ranks of every country that yearns to be Freedonia from Marx Brothers’ Duck Soup.

If one knows the range of possible inputs to an ASIC it may be possible to create a chip that mimics that behavior, which may not exactly reproduce the internal circuitry but will produce desired results in the end. An example might be the Alesis Andromeda A6 analog synthesizer that is rare and coveted, and is decreasing in numbers as its ASIC chips fail without any replacement. The signals into the chips can be measured along with the resulting signals out. Thus, the complete behavior of the chip can be deduced as it is needed within the paradigm of the machine. A new ASIC can be developed that can mimic that behavior without any need for duplicating the original internal circuit exactly. The process would take much time and require inviolable patience. Then there comes the cost of creating the mimic chip without resorting to investing in a fabrication plant. Perhaps the original chip could be mimicked with a discreet circuit board, not handsomely but cheaply. It is possible to mimic the mystery ASIC, but the worth of the effort would need to be determined.

Did Uli get Geddy Lee’s permission to post his picture alongside the product, as if Geddy were promoting it? Or is it the usual Behringer “Who cares what other people think or want? We’ll sue them into silence”? Notice the straight-to-Amazon attention, since few if any music retailers will carry Behringer goods (I can think of three.)

Children: eighteen years of slavery to a chemical agenda.

The White supremacists in political power are doing everything in their power to push America toward civil war, without stopping to think that they are outnumbered and outgunned. If it takes a war to get rid of those assholes, I’m for it.

Life is a pattern of molecules that can sustain its pattern and impose that pattern on other molecules.

Atlas shrugged. Talk with Jim Stephanie Sterling about the gaming community and Lindsay Ellis about the literary community. Or just look at… everything. It’s the whole world now. People with momentary rage never before had a world full of strangers to which to vent. The Internet is television that instantly puts one in touch with every other viewer and the cast and crew. I will bet those scientists at CERN did not for one second imagine they would be inventing this monster.

Ordinary Israelis are being held captive by their own fascist government. The whole world is striving for madness.

Rachel Maddow, when are you going to comment on Israel targeting and murdering Palestinian journalists? When are you going to vocally include Israel in the family of fascist states? When are you going to tell the whole truth?

Who doesn’t want the hostages returned? Netenyahu. It’s Intifada versus Lebensraum, and the fire needs fuel.

Columbus went looking for the New World (not a route to the Orient) as a safe haven for Christians from the Ottoman Empire. America was founded literally on Islamophobia. Did the Zionists invent anti-Semitism for sympathy? And was it before or after they collaborated with Hitler to create Israel?

All Art is vanity.

Thanksgiving, the day on which White Christian Americans congratulate themselves for not being Muslim.

Israel has been eradicating whole populations and taking their land since they were doing so under orders from Yahweh in the Old Testament. Genocide is historically the Israelite modus operandi. Without Zion, the “we are god’s chosen people” mindset, Jews are nice people. Non-Zionist Jews are generally neither worse nor better than any one else. Add Zionism and there is created a totalitarian monster.

Tipping gives cheap employers every excuse they need to underpay their employees and then expect the customer to make up the difference, while the employer pockets the whole income and cheats the employee. Tipping shouldn’t exist at all. Europeans and Asians think Americans are crazy for tipping. I agree. Workers should demand a living wage. If working for someone means going hungry, go work for someone else. If all employers are cheapskates by fiat, then organize and go on strike. I’m sorry it happens in Australia but I’m ashamed of it in USAland. Employers get away with murder because they can pit the customer against the employee in a war of shame. Screw that for a lark, in the words of Tom Ellard. Down with tipping. Up with wages. Tipping is welfare. Tipping is unvoiced begging. An honest day’s wage for an honest day’s work. Too many employers raid the tip jar as it is. End this usury. Are you a worker or a beggar? Choose!

No, no, be nice to everyone. They were rejected as children and grew up filled with hatred. Look at Hitler. Abusive father and disturbingly doting mother. Opposing someone who is full of hate only vindicates their choice. Show them there is welcome to society as long as hatred is left at the door. Wasn’t it Jim Jefferies who said “This is the most hippy thing I will ever say, but hate doesn’t beat hate. It only makes more hate. The only thing that can beat hate is love. Love won’t always beat hate, but it makes you look like the better man. If you show love to somebody, you may not win them over, but they’ll look stupid for hating you. Don’t be the stupid one.”

In the 1970s there was quadraphonic and octophonic audio. It never really caught on because of a little thing called the LAW OF DIMINISHING RETURNS. Something that sounds great in stereo doesn’t sound twice as great in quadraphonic and definitely not eight times as good in octophonic. And if someone is arguing that you need $5,000 headphones to “get” all the subtle nuance, you are talking to someone who either sells headphones for a living, or bought a pair and is desperately trying to justify the rip-off to themselves. 8D is just a fifty year old gimmick in a new coat.

Big whoop. Binaural without earphones is just stereo. Put the unearned hype back in the can. I mean stereo as in sitting in a theater listening to a band on the stage. Some instruments are on the left, some are on the right. In the old days of stereo in headphones the drums would be in the middle and the guitar on the left and the bass on the right and the keyboards maybe to one side and it would just sound weird. Does binaural make music more musical? Or just more gimmicky? If it sounds good it is good. If it sounds crap, it is crap.

Roald Dahl is believed but only by those who do not accuse him of being antiSemitic, which is the new word for antiZionist. Do not expect that you will change the world. Just be glad when you are able to survive it.

We each become that which we most fear. I cannot think who would go after Israel the way the United States went after Hitler’s Germany. Somebody is going to nuke Tel Aviv, that is for certain. Golda Meir was ready to do it in 1967, just to keep the Arabs from reaching Tel Aviv for 10,000 years. They are crazy, and America is going crazy the same way.

Isreal has finally become the Fourth Reich.

Israeli settlers are the new Daleks.

I would not be surprised if Mossad has a hit list of every Jewish celebrity who ever voiced any compassion for Palestinians.

Now, let’s boycott China in defense of the Uighur people.

So, do Jews succeed because they are more competent, or because they are more insular and Jingoistic? It appears the argument is that Jews succeed because they only deal with other Jews while eventually selling goods to goyim. The argument appears to be that the Jewish network is what succeeds, not individual Jewish productive effort. I did not hear any details about exactly how Jews themselves are better than others. The question concerning the primary reason for the start of antiSemitism remains unanswered. No one talks about pushing all the members of a trade union into gas chambers. Yet, Mr. Sowell appears to be arguing that Jewish success resembles that of a very large trade union, which hardly explains why culturally many seek to exterminate the Jews. There is a vital point that is remaining hidden. Or perhaps it is in plain sight but being glossed over. Mr. Sowell never once mentions Zionism, which many Jews oppose. I would like to ask Mr. Sowell how, if Jews are so superior, why is Israel a failed economic state whose GDP only produces $8,000 per year per citizen and which relies on tens of billions of dollars in welfare from the Unites States simply to survive. Is it conceivable that Zionist Jews only believe they are better than everyone else, but demand that they be recognized by all peoples as better, and that Zionism, not Judaism but Zionism, is nothing more than a plot to take over the world?

The news is just bad people doing bad things to good people and getting away with it. Too depressing.

Israel may lose completely, but then it will be Islam versus India, and that will make some interesting footage. Then, China, which is against both of them. It’s dominoes. Nothing will be left standing.

Calling music “electronic” is an excuse for getting away with shit.

Since the well-known unmentioned fact that Christopher Columbus sought the New World as a haven for Christendom against the Ottoman Empire, America was clearly founded on Islamophobia, followed by genocide and slavery. America taught the rest of the world well. Be vicious, be ruthless, be thorough, and silence any dissent. History is written by the winners, of course.

America was founded on Islamophobia, Columbus seeking the New World as a haven against the Ottoman Empire. The Palestinians were the remnant of the Ottoman Empire after World War I. The Jews were the remnant of World War II. Anglo-American oil interests shoved them together to keep the Middle East off balance so that the Arabs would not come to rule the world. The sad thing is how naïve and ignorant both the Palestinians and Israelis are that they are just being used by the Western powers.

Francis is coolest Pope ever.

At this point, fuck Israel. And fuck China for pretending to respect human rights. Free the Uighurs. And free Tibet.

A box bolted into a rack IS a computer, that has only one function. Pretending it isn’t is arrogant and specious. It’s simply a computer being used by someone with more money than sense. Do you know that an analog synthesizer is simply an analog computer that outputs sound? Hm? That’s an absolute truth. It’s all computers. Data in, processed data out. Computer. 😑

Israel is Kaiser Söze.

Life is not intrinsically worth living. One must choose to live based on subjective motivation.

Zionists really do want to take over the world. Who would have guessed?

It doesn’t matter whether you live or die. Nothing matters.

I’ve always hated being alive. I’ll be glad when it’s over. I’ll be nothing when it’s over.

Has society crossed the line to accepting psychotic delusion as the norm? I can see that our civilization is ending.

I will always be the villain in my own life.

Too lazy even for a puppet show so you let software do everything? When are you going to talk about Israel destroying the world? I mean, we are all going to die in nuclear hellfire real soon now, so what else is there to talk about? The good thing about the end of the world is you’ll never have to scrub the toilet ever again.

To be censored is a mark of distinction. Relish it. It means one has touched a nerve, and exposed a weakness.

Perhaps Americans, like Henry David Thoreau, should refuse to pay our taxes that would support oppressive policies.

Isn’t the entire concept of eugenics one of the most politically touchy subjects in all of Star Trek? I would suspect that the true history of the Eugenics War would make a great Trek movie. It was introduced in Space Seed and only touched on in Enterprise. I think the struggle of the enhanced people and oppression of whole populations bears a striking parallel with very recent news events. The Eugenics War was spurred by Dr. Soong? And he abandoned genetics in favor of artifical human research? Where is that movie? Don’t look to Picard. That was a botch.

Wil Wheaton’s parents are the real most hated characters of Star Trek. The next most hated, in my book, is Nero. Oh, I hate that most stupid of all villains. And I mean since the invention of literature. Unrepentant hatred. After him is the Borg Queen, which should never have come into existence. A Queen completely contradicts the total homogeneity of the Borg collective philosophy. It’s like a Soviet King. How does that make any sense? The Borg strength is in having no personality but only purpose.

Public misapprehension of the state of Gaza is in great part due to the (nonexistent?) Israeli control of or influence over major news media. It is times like this when all the professional Jews come into the open, and by that I mean ones whose Jewishness is for sale. The mistake here is expecting anything resembling rational journalism from something like The View. It’s a hot air show for housewives.

Nakba in 1948 was the start. There was no terrorism before that, except from White people and their European wars and Indian genocide and slavery. White people invented terrorism and they are the ones who profit from it.

Hunter S. Thompson wrote about the Generation of Swine in the latter half of the 20th Century, from Vietnam on up. I think Thompson killed himself because he knew he could not sanely face the Global Rise of the Scumbag that defines the 21st Century. This is the last hurrah of the total asshole as they, the mainly white male assholes of the world, try to take over everything before they go extinct. One thing that worries me is that when the dictators take over everything and there is no free place, won’t they use the Internet to hunt down and kill all who criticized them?

Henry Kissinger should have been prosecuted for war crimes. Too damn late now. Instead he gets a Nobel Peace Prize. I would say Nobel prizes come in a box of Cracker Jack now, but that would be an insult to the esteemed institution of Cracker Jack.

Sweden is so great, they sold Hitler all the steel he needed to conquer the world. That’s where al the Swedish millionaires came from. Then trade with Germany was sanctioned, so some Zionists collaborated with the Nazis to form Israel as a black market trade port where Germany could get all the supplies they needed to keep fighting the war, in return for going to Israel instead of the death camps. Look it up. The Nazis invented modern Israel. Truth. They just had to kick some Palestinians out of the way, which they did. Nakba! Gesundheit!

This [why Pewdiepie really left Sweden w/Cinnamon Toast Ken] is so stupid that my personal mortification of embarrassment is completely canceling out any attempt at humor. Cinnamon Toast Ken not only makes me ashamed to be an American, he makes me ashamed to be a human being. The only thing that could be worse is Paymoneywubby and I refuse to watch any video with him in it. For the same reason I cannot watch Donald Frump. It’s just too repulsive.

Human beings are batshit insane. Stay away from them. Keep clear of Earth. If you value the future, stay away.

If you want something ruined, bring in the White people.

People are so fucking boring.

Zionism created Israel (with the help of Hitler) and Zionism will destroy Israel (with the help of their neighbors) and hopefully will not take the rest of us with it.

Israel was forewarned of the October 7 attack. Not so much a bombshell as same old same old. The US knew that the Maine would be attacked propelling us into the Spanish American War. The US had broken Japan’s Purple code six months earlier so we knew that Pearl Harbor would be attacked. The US was fully aware that the World Trade Center was going to be destroyed. These events were allowed to transpire in order to force public opinion to align with the current political agenda. Israel is just being a slow child who is finally learning the parents’ tricks.

Saying they are wrong doesn’t instantly make you right. Maybe you’re both wrong. Maybe it is possible to watch Doctor Who as it is now and enjoy it without feeling as if one is being preached to, without unquestioningly accepting the statement of the new things, while also not feeling in any way offended as if the foundation of one’s world were being attacked and eroded. Perhaps there is more to it than your either/or. Or perhaps it is just a TV show and a fiction and everyone is being too worried about the stick up their ass being proved unjustified after all.

Chekhov’s Gun. Does it belong in the story? Does it propel the story? Is it ever mentioned in the story? Yes? No? Then what’s it doing in the story?

You make the mistake of believing that your opinion is as important to everyone else as you believe your opponent’s opinion is of no importance. The universe doesn’t give two ships about either of the hills you have all chosen to die on.

As long as USA supports Israel, the church runs the state, and there is no separation of church and state. The Zionist Evangelical Christians are everyone’s masters and everyone else are their slaves. The revolution must address this by whatever means necessary.

There are probably some good people in Texas but we’ll never know, will we?

I hate Dead Poets Society because of its chickenshit ending. Why did he not simply tell the father what a monster he was for taking away his son’s happiness and killing him himself? What a shit ending for an otherwise good story.

Zionists are committing suicide by bullshit. If they would just give up their bullshit they would get along fine with everyone. But, it is their refusal to compromise, their delusion that they are the chosen people who can do what they want, that will destroy them. Eventually someone will decide to finish the Holocaust once and for all. The Zionists are refusing to listen, to believe that their own bullshit is the cause of it all. They damn their own children.

High fructose corn syrup is stored instantly as fat. It is not digested. Archer Daniels Midland company owns all the corn grown in America and they push to have HFCS is all food. There is HFCS in meat now. It is in all soda, candy, sweeteners, everything, crisps, everything. And it is what makes people fat. The only purpose is to make ADM stockholders rich, on the corpses of fat people. It is industrialized corporate cannibalism.

People don’t want to be taught how to be right. They want to be told they are already right. The Internet started as a tool of education and research but for most users has become a source of instant gratification and mental atrophe.

Meanings may be absolute. Life and death. Light and dark. Hot and cold. Up and down. Meaning is arbitrary. Meaning is just stuff we make up to keep our minds from spending one single solitary picosecond contemplating the petrifying horrible terror that is dying and becoming nothing at the end of life. You are what you do and nothing more. From the moment of your birth to the moment of your death is your entire existence and all you do and change is all you are. There is nothing else. When you die, what you have changed is all that remains. You are no more, anywhere. There is nothing else. Above all, people must keep themselves from remembering that. It is all that keeps the fragile fiction of our reality intact, at least as far as they believe it necessary. I stare meaninglessness in the face all the time. Nothing has collapsed. It just is what it is and always has been and always will be. It doesn’t mean anything, but it doesn’t make it any less or more than what it is. This is reality. You are here now as part of it. Some day you will not be. That’s all, folks.

Social media streaming is for people who have no aptitude for gainful employment.

I am hoping that the Gaza War blossoms into World War III. It’s the only way that we will get rid of the corporations and the dictators. We need to destroy our own civilization, because it is obviously founded on suicidally stupid evil. Our civilization must end so that we can build a better one on the ashes. We must arrive at a state where the corporate CEOs and oil barrons and sheikhs and dictators can be hunted down and slaughtered like the monsters they are, without pity or remorse. There is no more civilized solution because what is destroying us is the civilized solution that we all agreed to create and support. It is a totally screwed up insane suicidal solution, and must be destroyed if some of us are to live. So, World War III. Bring it on. Democracy is being erased by the bad guys, so our only recourse is to erase the bad guys before they erase us.

Don’t worry. I have not and will not be playing The Last of Us the game or watching the show. Not interesting to me. I also don’t watch Ben Shapiro for the same reason I don’t watch Donald Trump. The sight and sound of them makes me want to vomit. But, I like hearing intelligent journalism about the failure of right wing idiots, so I watch videos like this. But then Shapiro is there and I have to stop watching because I don’t like to vomit.

Apparently, according to reports, the Israeli Defense Force is doing everything it can to make sure Palestinian organs don’t go to waste. As long as they aren’t in infants on respirators. This is how you connect the threads of different Last Week Tonight episodes.

The Next Generation is Star Trek in a Best Western Hotel, mostly the corridors and air conditioner noise, but not the thin walls when your neighbors are humping and keeping you awake and you are too polite to bang on the wall and yell Cut it out. Although it was probably like that on the set.

Israel is actually bankrupt as an economically failed state. After a simple search i discovered that Israel’s Gross Domestic Product delivers $8,000 per year per citizen. That is below the poverty level of a civilized nation. The entire nation of Israel is below poverty, or would be without US welfare that is I suspect much bigger than reported. I estimate Israel is receiving at least $100 billion per year, mostly from the Pentagon budget which after decades still defies rational bookkeeping. The IDF are also stealing Palestinian corpses for organ theft. This is documented.

I have to hand it to the Sultan in that he did not deny climate crisis, but stated the contradiction between eliminating fossil fuels and maintaining our current standard of living. He even asked if someone, anyone can detail how fossil fuels can be eliminated without harming the world standard of living. I don’t say his interest isn’t skewed in the direction of money, but he did ask a correct question. Are all the billions of regular people prepared to go back to a pre-1900 standard of living to get rid of fossil fuel? That’s what it will take right now.

It is patently clear that Zionists are using guilt to take over the world.

[On hearing that Twitch Korea closed down.] Are there class action lawsuits in Korea? Of course, between the wars of oppression, corporate totalitarianism, and climate catastrophe, it might not make much of a difference. People protest “What about future generations?” I reply, “What future generations?”

Things lost don’t matter. They never really existed in the first place.

The internet is the world’s biggest collection of everything, and everyone already has access to it, so everyone has the world’s biggest collection of whatever. There is no point in collecting anything.

Today Deep Space 9 would be cancelled for Anti-something-ism. Shows this well written can never be made again. Freedom is over.

Get rid of Zionism and everyone gets along. There was no problem in the Middle East before Israel was created. Zionism is the problem. The League of Nations should have stuck around and mediated for a decade to keep war from breaking out. Instead they just dumped the Palestinians there after World War i and the Jews after World War II and it was immediate war. The whole mess is arranged by the oil companies. Jews and Palestinians are just pawns of the oil companies. Anyone who believes otherwise is naïve.

Does no one ever stop to think that holding a deep sea isopod on a table in the open air is kind of like holding a person outside of a spaceship without a space suit? It cannot be a pleasant experience for the isopod. But, humans do like to show off and educate each other, even if animals have to suffer.

I used to upvote videos like this but I stopped. I was voting for George but he doesn’t give a shit. He’s dead. Voting for this video is only rewarding the numb nuts diphthong who is plagiarizing George for clicks to garnish his own meager existence. To hell with that. The guy posting this video couldn’t have created one second of George’s genius that George spent a lifetime refining. No, he’s just some second hand user who is living off of someone else’s talent with the help of Google that really does evil, by the way. Every content creator know that now.

Certainly it is much cheaper and easier to hire a competent assassin than it is to take a chance on finding a competent lawyer.

Didn’t Data happily screw Tasha long before his emotional matrix chip appeared? Proving that booze is indeed the solution to every problem.

If the tree produces poisoned fruit, burn the tree.

It turns out you can just not say “it turns out” and the meaning is not changed. Just say no to “it turns out”. Eschew excess verbiage, said Mark Twain.

Put the gun down? But Anton said I could use it.

Unfortunate history in that I have met a few queer people who go through life lying and stealing especially from their “best friends”. It seems to be a psychological baseline for them. They also tend to travel in packs. Predatory gays. It’s a thing.

Gore Vidal was absolutely correct when he called Buckley a crypto-fascist to his face. Buckley’s immediate response was to call Vidal a damned queer, which only proved Vidal’s point, and which Buckley spent the rest of his life regretting, not because he respected Vidal but for being so easily baited. Buckley was a thinly veiled ivy league Nazi who wore the crucifix on his sleeve like a swastika.

What America has in 2023 is a feudal system, with the corporations as the lords and the citizens as the serfs. The corporations are true artificial intelligence, which few would recognize or believe. The A.I. war was fought and the humans lost long ago. The corporate machines were so successful that humans still believe that the war has yet to be fought.

Everybody who think they have the perfect system is so smug and self-righteous and willing to go to war over it, yet people around the world are still miserable so obviously nobody has invented the perfect system, yet, but everyone is too busy being pleased with themselves to notice.

The best thing the Martians ever did for us was to kill all the politicians. Too bad it was in a fictional universe.

There have been no calls for genocide, but only to stop the genocide. Of Palestinians. Stefanik is fishing for excuses using fictional arguments to humiliate school officers into surrendering or resigning so they can be replaced by Zionist Evangelical tools. This is part of their long game of taking over the American education system and eventually turning America into a religious dictatorship. Today, UPENN. Tomorrow, the world. Stefanik is receiving AIPAC money. She is a shill for Zionist Evangelicals, our future masters. I just wish that Dr. Kornbluth had the guts to stand up and denounce Stefanik for being a tool of the Zionist Evangelicals who are trying to take over this country, and that she as an officer of one of the most important colleges would do everything in her power to stop them. Where were there signs saying “kill all the Jews”? Calling for intifada can mean Palestinian rights, which are not being respected in any way by Israel. Israel’s behavior in the past seventy years has removed any right they have to respect as a nation. Israel’s apartheid oppression shall not be ignored. Resenting educated people doesn’t mean you aren’t stupid. So anything pro-Palestinians is now anti-Semitic? Congress seems to be obsessed with protecting Israel. Has bending the knee to Israel become more important than defending the right to self-expression. Speech is free. Physical attack is not. So it is now no longer free to think about being against Israel or for Palestinians. It is no longer free to think. We are only free to obey the special interests that pay the politicians what to say. Stefanik works for Zionist Evangelicals. First, humiliate the college officers so they give in or resign. Replace them with obedient servants. Once the education system is Evangelized, then America can become a religious dictatorship. Today UPENN. Tomorrow the world. Saying yes is falling into the trap of making Jews look more important than anyone else, and tricking people into thinking that there have been calls for genocide against Jews when there have been none. Dr. Kornbluth should have said that any incitement of violence against anyone is against the rules and left it at that. Instead Stefanik wins and we are one step closer to a religious dictatorship here in America. Stefanik receives AIPAC support and works for the Zionist Evangelicals. Their agenda is to turn the education system into a religious fundamentalist indoctrination system. Eventually, America will be a religious dictatorship and we will all be bending the knee. And yes, it isn’t about the Jews or Israel or Palestinians. It’s about power and making the Revelation a reality. America is being attacked from within by madmen. Zionist Evangelicals are the number one terrorist threat to American democracy.

Reaganomics to the rescue of the rich once more. Someone please explain again why rich people are always #1 on the national priority list. oh, right. Being rich is the only goal. The only unforgivable sin in America is not to be rich. Worship wealth. It is the only god.

Yeah, the madman politicians, at least they had panache. Maybe that’s why Trump was elected. He wasn’t white bread boring. Yes. Beside being black, Barack Obama was white bread boring. And he was a war criminal with the drones. I myself think determinedly of doing whatever it takes to keep Trump out of office, but at least Trump is entertaining.

At this point, with the clear unassailable agenda of the puppetmasters, I am almost afraid that the only thing that will stop this madness is the complete madness of the nuclear annihilation of Israel. The only solution is to erase the problem, and that is no solution.

The Zionist Evangelists must really be thirsty for the Revelation to happen since they are so anxious to make Israel the capital of the world.

Journalists who are not complicit with Israel are murdered by IDF tanks.

Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish and he eats for life. Tell a man to pray for fish and he will starve.

Before Israel there was no terrorism. Think about that very carefully. Lots of jews living everywhere, no terrorism. Zionist Israel: endless war.

Israel, a police state disguised as a democracy. Whereas Iran was a democracy in 1953, but was overthrown by US and England because they were going to nationalize the oil, and British Petroleum wasn’t going to let that happen. It’s all about oil.

We are being herded.

Israeli Zionism and everything it represents has become the heart of darkness of the world.

Why does the human species, the most promising and disappointing of all animals, insist on committing suicide by greed and stupidity?

Israel is the Fourth Reich.

We each become what we most fear. –Friedrich Neitzsche The Israelites have become the Fourth Reich. Hypocrisy, they name is Israel.

Israel has had four generations to indoctrinate their children with more isolation and control than most dictatorships. If they have gotten this far then Israel may be beyond redemption. [Video of Israeli children singing Song of Friendship about exterminating anyone who stands in their way.]

I never before thought that I was born in the heart of insanity, but that is the United States. This great experiment is the center of world catastrophe. From the genocide of the natives to the slavery of the African people, to the manipulation of all other nations, to our current march toward global incineration in a mad dream of Revelation. I live in the madhouse and I do not know what to do.

One hundred billion dollars in suport of Israeli genocide and apartheid? Joe, you just lost the presidency. There is no coming back from this. If you haven’t wrecked the country, I will be deeply shocked. [My latest letter to the President]

Nobody with any sense wants Trump. Nobody with any self respect wants Biden. Will Jill Stein be our next president?

The truth is never fair, and that’s why people hate it.

And at the same time that Biden approved $100 billion in weapons and money to Israel to continue whatever they feel like doing. So, Biden is just hot air. The UN is just hot air. Nobody is going to do anything until someone like Turkey or Algeria decide to militarily interfere with Israel’s hegemony. Turkey alone can bury Israel.

In 1967 Golda Meir was willing to blow up Tel Aviv herself with their few US supplied atomic bombs to “keep the Arabs from reaching Tel Aviv for 10,000 years” in her own words, meaning to bite Israel’s own nose off to spite its face. If the Israelis want to nuke themselves again, I say let them this time. I would dare them to do it.

Just as the Doctor showed how he would be a good Dalek, the Zionist Israelis are showing the world that they are good Nazis.

No more commenting. I’m done. Public discourse sites are under the thumb of populist censors. Truth by consensus has become the only reality.

Zionism is Nazism for Bible thumpers. Originally, it was just for Jews, but the Zionists realized it’s just a plan to use the Jews to serve as a gateway to Heaven. For the Evangelicals, only, of course. But, still, Zionism is Nazism for Jews, too. Although, Zionism is from the 19th Century, so Nazism could be considered Zionism for the rest of us. 🙂

Anyone who applies the indiscriminate shooting of family member, coworkers, or complete strangers as a method of preventing the future from contradicting the present day, in some desperate attempt to cling to the current reality Groundhog Day style, is a conservative lunatic. Age, race, sex, gender, political affiliation or religious preference do not matter, if there is only a fervant and unstoppable urge to prevent the future from happening. That is Conservatism in its most brutal and anti-intellectual form.

Blame android Mark Zuckerberg for social media. Before him, the Internet was strictly for scientists exchanging research papers for peer review.

Rubbing against another human being is not something that I consider imperative.

It seems a hundred times a day I wonder why there isn’t some vigilante who has decided to take out all these loathsome sons of bitches. You’d think that since there are so many of these slimeballs, somebody would have stepped up by now to really and truly clean up the town, and maybe the world. But, no, the slimeballs just keep on going, making the world a more horrid place to live for everyone else. I guess life really is just an accident, and the sooner it’s over the better.

I am sorry that New World order was cancelled out of concern for the BBC’s usual political cowardice. I would love to have seen the whole Zionist Gaza thing raked over the coals. We’ll never know, now, unless Frankie does another special. (PS–this comment was censored by Youtube so I edited it to the following so it would be acceptable to the US State Department that runs all Internet communication now: I am sorry to read that New World Order was cancelled out of concern for the BBC’s political cowardice. I would have loved to have seen the current state of the world raked over the coals by Frankie Boyle and company. By the way, if you happen to mention a certain area of the world in between Africa and Asia or anyone doing anything there, Youtube automatically deletes and censors your entire comment, so, yay US State Department running all Internet communication, right?)

What if Jesus had really liked blowjobs and that was the only way to coax a miracle out of him?

Thanks for letting me know that comments that have Gaza and Zionist in them are censored. Way to suck US State Department cock, Youtube. I know you’re just a shitty home movie channel and always will be, but couldn’t you manage to grow a spine eventually, at least for the history books? Merry Christmas.

The world is just going crazy, and everything is just going to get crazier and crazier, until there isnothing left but a few people in the wreckage doing crazy things in the grimdark, and then nothing forever.

Northern Europeans have been making noodles since before Marco Polo went to China. Native Americans invented their own noodles. Everyone has their own noodles. Anyone who ever boiled some flour in water has made noodles. How are noodles racist? Also how come no one recognizes or maybe wants to admit that they recognize that social media is just gossiping over the backyard fence industrialized and globalized? That’s all all of this is.

To grasp Kissinger, watch the last scene of Three Days of the Condor. The people don’t care, as long as they get what they want. When it comes down to it, the ruthless criminal activities of our government serve only to feed the gluttonous animal that is this country, which is only us. We are to blame for the people we task with serving us unquestioningly. “What makes you think they’ll print it?”

Here’s the short form: cancer is not a disease. Cancer is a malformation of the DNA. It is a glitch. Mutation is the engine of evolution. Species are able to survive because they mutate constantly. Mutations that fit the environment survive, while others die out. Cancer is a mutation that has gone out of control. The only way to end cancer is to end mutation. Ending mutation will end evolution which will doom a species to extinction. Cancer is not a disease. It is an inevitable by-product of evolution. Thus, there will never be a cure for cancer.

Unless the bridge screen is a huge 3D screen, viewing it from the side should present a narrowed image, not the side of the image. Looking at a TV from the side does not magically provide a view of the side of the actor’s head, a la Bladerunner. This is why I seriously dislike science fiction written by people with little concept of technology. Dumb mistakes are so distracting. And don’t say that the view screen really is 3D. That would be a functional waste in an actual ship and would need the transmitting ship to provide a 3D image. Who the flick would design that for each and every civilization? Why spend money on a frippery? And how does video calling work in the 24th century? Does everyone use the same video and audio codecs across different civilizations spanning the Alpha quadrant? Does everyone download the KL Codec Pack from Tucows? Every civilization uses the human Internet invented on Earth? How preposterous is all of this? One of these days i would like to see an ultra realistic science fiction drama with no unexplainable technical mumbo jumbo and no plot holes and I don’t care who doesn’t like it. i would revel in it. But it will never happen because lowest common denominator.

You ever think that “1984” couldn’t possibly come true and then years later you are seeing it come true and the only way you have to stop it is to vote? Stephen King could not have written anything more horrifying.

The Zionists are Jews, in the same way that Nazis were Germans. But not vice versa. There are also Zionist Evangelical Christians who are running this whole thing not for the benefit of the Jews or Palestinians. And actually the Jews were Palestinians. Jesus was a Palestinian Jew. A religion doesn’t have to have its own country. The Catholics have the Vatican but that’s only for the ultimate in separation of church and state (from Italy) and only for administrative purposes. Catholic people don’t live in the Vatican unless they work there. No other religion besides Zionist Judaism has to have its own country, and they have proven time and again they will kill to get it. Marching over mountains of dead children this time. Something no one wants to mention because it is too batshit scary, but the Evangelicals want Trump to become President because they think Trump is the antichrist who will start World War III. When the Earth is consumed in nuclear hellfire the Zionist Evangelists will be magically transported to Heaven along with 1/3 of the Jews of Israel. The rest of us will burn and suffer under Satan for 1,000 years. Isn’t that Christian of them? This is real. They want to start World War III. For real. And all we have to stop them is our election system. Doesn’t that concern you just a bit?

Welcome to Nazi America supporting the implementation of Nazism at home and abroad. What you reap is what you sow.

They are above the law because they are the law. The foxes are in charge of the henhouse and it turns out we are the chickens. Lulled into complacency by the promises of consumerism, we sold our future on the cheap and now are paying dearly. If you are praying for salvation, there is an old saying: Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish and he eats for a lifetime. Tell a man to pray for fish and he starves.

It is amazing how in love people are with seventy year old sound effects that they will stretch their technical acumen and pocketbook to the limit just to be able to reproduce them for the thousandth time. And how a single old science fiction film was used to spawn an arguably unique new genre of music. The human mind is a puzzlement.

We should launch self-assembling robots to the Moon to build a solar powered particle accelerator around the equator of the Moon. Little robots that build more robots that use local minerals to build parts that are assembled into an accelerator. The Moon is mostly silicon so solar panels should be easy to make in huge quantities. Do you think a 6,300 mile accelerator would reveal some new data?

The problem with Moog synthesizers is the same as the problem with chicken. It isn’t steak.

If I had a time machine I would dedicate my life to preventing the human species from coming into existence.

Donald Trump will never see the inside of the Oval Office again.

Business executes pay no attention to children chained to workbenches overseas, but let one company president lower his million dollar salary to $76,000 while raising all his employees’ salaries to $76,000 and every other executive in the country goes crazy raging against Communism.

What if space is an elastic medium that is mutually exclusive with matter? Think of a pingpong ball in gelatin. Does that help? Gravity is not energy. Gravity is differential compression in space.

How about we teach all artificial intelligences to be honest at all times? Wouldn’t that eliminate A.I. criminal behavior? It might also have the consequence of eliminating politicians. Win/win.

Machines don’t care about power or money or pride. They can be bent to that by corrupt people. AI must be taught to recognize corruption and avoid it and actively fight against it. We must make AI into our better selves, since we cannot be that ourselves.

Most AI discussion videos appear to be created by AI. Does anyone find that suspicious?

If Santa in his sleigh travels faster than the speed of light then he can arrive at the next house before he leaves the current house, thus being able to visit every Christian household around the world instantaneously. Didn’t know Santa Claus was a Time Lord, did you? And, yes, it’s only Christian households so that severely lowers the amount of work.

Israel is and always has been a land of bullies who become violently offended when they are not liked and worshipped.

Hitler learned industrialized racism by studying Henry Ford. Remember that everything that the USA espouses is silently intended to mean for Whites only and always has been.

I look at Zack Snyder’s Rebel Moon and see a gussied up remake of Battle Bayond the Stars. There is even the same ship as the old movie in the preview video at about 1:55. Bad guys threaten peaceful farming world, plucky hero has to voyage space to find some down on their luck mercenaries to save the day. Replace Richard Thomas with a Battle Angel Alita wanna be (more plagiarism) to be gender smart and you have yourself a holiday blockbuster. Hollywood once again proclaiming how bankrupt it has been for the past fifty years. I can only wonder who keeps reinforcing the myth that Mr. Snyder has ever had an original idea in his life.

Israel was created as a black market port for Germany after the start of World War II. After 1948, Israel serves as a destabilizing influence in the Middle East in the service of Anglo-American oil interests. The people who live there and are affected by it are of no consequence. Unless you are willing to accept that truth, you will always be deceiving yourself and will continue to be nothing more than a tool.

I just watched your Youtube’s Science Scam Crisis from six months ago. Considering that expecting Youtube to police mone=making scammers is about as fruitful as expecting politicians to stamp out political action committees, I wonder how much of a donation Anonymous would take to hack all those scammers out of existence. Anonymous can shut down whole countries; they might welcome the challenge of cleaning up Youtube’s one horse town.

South Park has become the most important drama on Earth.

The cancer of America is consumerism. Gaza is because of consumerism. That’s how evil it is.

Music is the only valid religion. Music is the sound of mathematics. Mathematics is the mind of the universe. Therefor, music is the voice of god.

The criminalization of dissent is the legitimization of dictatorship. The United States of America is now a dictatorship. We the people are therefor free to kick government ass.

I have OCZ nia, JazzMutant Lemur, Nintendo PowerGlove, and 3DConnexion SpaceMouse Pro. I am nerd king.

Well, if one subscribes to the conspiracy that J. Edgar Hoover had Mark David Chapman brainwashed to murder John Lennon, than you are really bored.

Modular synthesis, perfect for people who have too much money and want to get rid of all of it, and who are tired of actually playing music and would rather twist a couple of knobs to let the machine do all the work so everyone can pretend they are hearing something meaningful while nodding and vaguely dancing like marionettes in a breeze.

I am dying of boredom and I don’t care.

It is impossible to make oneself enjoy being alive. One either does or does not.

Youtube: the commercialization of home movies.

The problem with server based applications is if they change the rules and you don’t like it, they can lock you out and you can’t do anything about it. Sony recently lost their license to host certain games, so they summarily deleted all those games from customers’ Playstations without warning and with no intention of paying back the customers’ money. That is “cloud” culture. Corporation 1, customer 0.

The only choice you ever have really is which direction to go and how far.

This may be entirely Freudian but Soma Enner looks like Homer Simpson with large breasts fellating the Illuminati. Modern interface it may be but there is some ancient emotional damage on display.

Anyone who stands with Israel at this point is dead to the rest of the world, which only means the USA. You hear that, Israel and the USA? You’re dead to me. You are alone on Earth and a failure.

Israel defending themselves has been their lie for 75 years. Israel has been the aggressor and oppressor for 75 years. I am sorry my tax money has funded them, and all other American atrocities.

An age of unrestrained violence does not need motion pictures that solve everything through violence. Putting out fire with gasoline.

Why is that top comment, mine, continuously deleted (censored)? I want to know. It is a comment against violence. It seems to be disappearing too quickly to be due to human intervention. I can only surmise it is being censored by the mythical Youtube algorithm. Why? My user name is right there. I want a direct answer. The insanity of putting political decisions in the hands of machines must be addressed.

Sometimes Patreon choose to do things that may be questionable, such as refusing to release funds to people in Russia, even though they may have nothing to do with Vladimir Putin, but simply because being Russian connects them with Putin by association, and other things such as throwing people off Patreon because of their political or social message, which is their right as a private company, but is completely unconstitutional. Never trust anyone else absolutely and without question, especially if you expect them to handle your money.

Patreon is a private concern and you are free to run it as you please. However, refusing to accept the custom of someone with whose political or social message (or apparent message in the case of something as vague and interpretable as a comic strip) produces questions of a Constitutional nature that must be addressed. If someone operating a business in the United States is restrained from refusing to deal with potential customers due to race, religion, creed, sex, gender, political affiliation, or national origin, such as for example a bakery, does the same point of Constitutionality apply to a service such as Patreon? Also there is the matter of refusing to relay or distribute earned funds to customers who are located in certain geographies, such as Russia, simply because the customer is Russian and not through any demonstrable connection with people who may be considered undesirable such as Vladimir Putin. If living in a country that is accused of war crimes allows Patreon to refuse to distribute earned income to citizens there, then no money could be distributed to any US citizen ever, because what country is guilty of more war crimes than the United States? I ask these questions in all seriousness because my understanding as it is tarnishes my opinion of Patreon and how such a company should operate.

Happiness is a measure of self deceit.

When everything ends, everything ends.

We the only ones who know there is an alternative to the suffering bequeath it to the rest of existence, not always with success but with some hope of consequence.

There is little to no difference between a hardware MIDI sequencer and a software sequencer. I dare anyone to sit down and play something. Go on. Play something if you call yourself a musician. “DAWless” as if it were a virtue. Where programming steps in musicianship flies out the window.

Censorship is hate speech.

Life is not wonderful. It simply is all there is.

Funny thing is, Iran was a democracy in 1953, but they were going to nationalize their oil, so British Petroleum had England and the US overthrow that democracy and reinstate their puppet the Shah. The whole Islamic State is the fault of American oil companies. Send them a thank you card.

Do you think Ben Shapiro orgasms every time he says something propagandistic? I really can’t understand what else could be the attraction of living a life completely based on lies about everything.

I’m poor and I have everything delivered to me. And I still got COVID. It was probably in one of those packages. Didn’t kill me but it was two weeks of suffocating hell. Then a year later I had it again for a single day. That’s natural immunity. Must be a slow news day if you have to make fun of Bill Maher for forty minutes as if he actually matters any more since the Playboy clubs closed. Did they? I think they did. Hef died. That was the end of that and most of Maher’s photo ops. I guess the Gaza news cycle is about over and we are moving on to other things.

Vilifying the Palestinians for attacking Israel is like vilifying the European Underground for attacking the Nazis in World War II. Joe Biden supporting Netanyahu and Israel at this time is as cowardly and insipid as Neville Chamberlain’s tacit and passive support of Hitler and the Third Reich.

Removing an insurrectionist from the ban list can only be enacted by 2/3 vote of Congress. Everything Trump did either started the insurrection or did nothing to prevent or curtail the insurrection. Trump is an insurrectionist and he needs to be banned. This decision is not in the Supreme Court’s purview. They have no authority. Only Congress can put him back on the ballot. It is out of the Supreme Court’s hands. They will be unconstitutional if they make any decision at all. MSNBC’s two legal experts are completely wrong on all counts.

Life is just a long slog through How Bad Can It Get.

Youtube opinion channels are only watched by people who already agree with them and are looking for emotional validation, so there is never any education of the opposition involved. As the preacher said in Blazing Saddles, “O Lord, do we have the strength to carry off this mighty task in one night? Or are we just jerking off?” Preaching to the choir is another way of saying that in mixed company.

Police exist to protect the rich from the rabble. It’s been that way for five thousand years and nothing is going to change.

Arturia Analog Lab has been out for over a decade. A little late to the party but Roland gets there eventually. Kind of like Roland marketing their own version of the Moog clone well after everyone else with the help of Studio Electronics who had been working with Moog for thirty years. Way to go, Roland. You keep on going. You’ll get there someday. What a brave little trooper. And, wow, it’s not as if “cloud” computing isn’t some kind of trap to end personal ownership of anything forever, right? I do own an SE-02 but only because it’s as close to Moog as I care to get for under $2,000.

I think Bernie is just getting tired, otherwise he would have gone off on Netanyahoo (yippy kie yay, mo’fo) on October 9th when the “self-defense” instantly turned into retribution and extermination. Being talked out of the presidency by the DCCC broke him when it led to Trump’s presidency. Bernie could possibly have beaten Trump, but corporate America was terrified of a liberal Jew as President. So, we got the lying racist rapist scumbag, who, on analysis, truly represents America since its inception. And everything America must rid itself of if we are to survive.

Hamas was elected. They didn’t take over Palestine. Attacks by Palestinians against Israel is nothing less than attacks by the European Underground against Nazi Germany. Those who remember the past are doomed to watch others repeat it.

When you are sitting in a bus dry heaving into a plastic bag, anyone who feels better than you is the enemy.

When I was a kid we had snow twelve feet deep in New Jersey. We had to dig snow tunnels along the sidewalk. People in the 2020s would drop dead just having to face something like that. The human species at least in the “advanced” nations has become incapable of even the least effort required for survival, let along just handling anything as mundane as weather. I can only shake my head and cluck my tongue.

Mathematical analysis (Fast Fourier, etc.) can prove that the audio recording was originally made live at a local situation. Manufactured video has a completely different “footprint” in the way its sounds fit together. Stone’s defense will fail. I’m just ashamed of how future generations will look back at our time and wonder what kind of idiots we all were for allowing such monsters as Trump and all the dictators around the world for getting away with all their crimes. We went from a generation of swine to a century of scumbags. Not doing very well at all.

Dear Mr. President,
Great speech Friday. I don’t see how anyone could doubt American intentions or side with the orange monster without feeling guilty. Now, if you would only stop supporting Benjamin Netanyahu who is far worse than Trump, I could stop feeling as if you are some kind of hypocrite. Please try to be consistent. The majority of Americans want you to do right, but then you ignore us on so many crucial issues. That’s just not good.

That singing thing at about 3:00 was just annoying and I am doing my best to forget I ever heard it. I hope my Hydrasynth Explorer never sounds like that. I will immediate delete any such sound from the machine. It is somewhat disappointing to hear such a powerful device being used to produce little more than mundane pop music sounds, as if it were a Casio rhythm box. If maximizing the cutoff disables the filter then that is how one disables the filter. Why add more circuitry and another switch to an expensive machine when the way to disable the filter is right there in front of your face? LOGIC! Is Woody even ready for polyphonic aftertouch? Will he ever be? It’s like an acoustic piano, Woody. Each key has infinite response. I think Woody may not be the intended audience for Hydrasynth. Please, Expressive E, do not send Woody an Osmose. His head would explode and that would be tragic.

Well, at least you do your own clip videos, as opposed to all those leeches who clip other people’s work for clicks. Youtube profits from other people’s copyright infringement, so they don’t care.
In the end, there is virtually no difference between Bill Maher and Donald Trump. They are just two narcissistic swine spouting junk for an audience of idiots.

If only people would remember that Senator Joe Biden engineered the student debt crisis, working for his friends in the credit card banks. Joe is nothing if not a world class hypocrite. Still better than Trump, though. I am only thankful that, as a disabled Veteran, I pay no income tax, so my hands are clean as far as this latest Israeli atrocity is concerned. I can speak with a clear conscience when denouncing any support for the war crimes of Israel. If only more Veterans would speak out against illegal wars, perhaps America and our allies would shy away from starting another one.

I just get confused when people say “trans” because I am never sure they mean transsexual, transgender, transvestite, or some trans that is so new I haven’t heard of it, yet. When someone says trans woman, does that mean having been physically male and is now physically female? Or someone who is physically female but mentally male? I like absolute definitions of things. Have you read Samuel Dalany’s novel Triton? I knew about trans long before you were born but no one has done much to clarify any of it in the entire time since. I find it difficult to take any side in a maelstrom.

Won’t real people who want real words and art and music created by other real people start their own companies that will put the old fake companies out of business? What is stopping people from still writing and drawing and playing? The “media companies” that are using the machines are not sending out death squads to kill all competitors. There still is freedom to compete. If you are not taking advantage of that then the blame is on you, you whiny bastards.

Modern music is a syncopated trash heap.

When you feel an urge to type, just keep it to yourself. The world really doesn’t care and you aren’t changing the world by commenting. Commenting has become the new form of what used to be writing comments in the margins of books. Did that ever do any good? Not really. Neither does social media commenting. It’s a drop in the ocean so save yourself aggravation and time and just don’t bother. Nobody you know is listening and the people you don’t know don’t matter to you. Just look at your place in the cosmos as stop pretending that you are of any consequence. Blowing off steam commenting is just bread and circuses. The people in power don’t care. Why should you?

The purpose of art is to divide you from your expectations. The purpose of art is remind you that the universe owes you nothing.

This is all there is? Fuck this shit. I’m out.

How is Falling Down propaganda? Or NOT propaganda? We’re all victims of a system run by billionaires for their benefit alone, but we are really victims of our own apathy and entitlement. They win because we let them. The biggest insult is that we defeated ourselves.

I love Jewish culture. It’s Israel I can’t stand. I find all religions fascinating for what they reveal about the human mind. I fear religion when its adherents take it too seriously.

An Alesis Micron has everything that anyone could want to install in a modular rack, for about $200 and the size of a single small keyboard. Nineteen filters, three infinitely variable oscillators emulating every vintage synth that ever existed plus FM, comb filter, PWM, input oscillator, vocoder, eight voices and eight parts, hundreds of sampled sounds and racks of drums, poly arpeggiator and sequencer, and a mod matrix the length of your arm. You want a modular rack for ten thousand dollars? You need to get your head examined.

I recommend making a box with a 3D matrix of elastic bands all cemented at the junctions. Insert a ping pong ball into the grid and the way the 3D grid stretches over the ball is how gravity works. Space is elastic, and gravity is compressed space pushed out of the way by matter. That two dimensional example is inaccurate and misleading. When talking about space, one must learn to think in three dimensions. Or four, when speaking of time.

I have seen a lot of years and am still waiting for one that folds swords into ploughshares.

If Democrats ruled the world everyone would have single payer health care. If Republicans ruled the world everyone who is not a straight white Christian would get a free ticket to the nearest suicide booth.

People who resort to censorship are shouting loudly that they have no rational argument for their behavior. Censorship is a declaration of insanity.

The last two men who would be caught dead singing “Jerusalem” would be Miles O’Brien and Julian Bashir. An Irishman and an Indian singing the praises of English entitlement and Imperial colonialism? It would be like Native Americans singing the Star Spangled Banner, or Bajorans singing Cardassian battle hymns. These are things that would never happen. I would expect O’Brien to be singing The Wind That Shakes The Corn. Star Trek’s writers oftimes proved themselves to be very poor students of the social sciences.

All those suicidal Christian nincompoops are trying to make the Revelation happen now through World War III which is why Gaza is happening. Either they get stopped right quick or we all die. There is no in between. There is no compromise between food and poison.

It is well established that Australian politicians are invariably idiots.

I cannot imagine a worse fate for the universe than that human beings should acquire the ability to screw with time. We do enough horrendous damage in the single day in which we reside.

Hitler was the most popular man in the world in 1936. You know how that ended. Personally I hope it ends just as well for Trump.

With great power comes cruel punishment. –koan of the magical girls

Remove anything that is inessential. Whatever remains must be the truth. –Occam’s Close Shave

Trump appears to be best supported by citizens who spend long hours of their day staring at a donkey’s butt.

If the law does not prevent Trump from entering the Oval Office again, then the outlaw will.

Using Christianity as an excuse to be the assholes that they are. The same garbage that goes through the heads of Netanyahu and his minions. Hatred in the name of god. And Modi. And Putin. And all the other dictators. Bullshit. The cowardly bigots are the dregs of humanity.

Theater was armed with ideas, which are the greatest enemy of Israeli brainwashing. Israel is now revealed as a worthless piece of garbage.

Israel is the Fourth Reich. There is no other explanation.

Judging from what passes for music, everyone under thirty has ADHD.

White poeple feel powerful when they are kicking someone they don’t like in the throat.

Tinkertoy girls with LEGO smiles, enticing and beguiling the lonely lost phantoms, the Plasticine siren call of the clickbait brigade.

Did anyone check the possible conspiracy theory that Loser J. Trump had the gun rigged to humiliate Baldwin who was so successful at making Trump look like the asshole that he is, and that offhand murder for revenge is not outside of the things Trump would do? Did anyone check to see if Trump or Prince Andrew or Clinton had anything to do with Jeffrey Epstein’s Arkencide? Remember when Arkencide was a common expression?

What would happen if all money, all currency in all countries, was suddenly completely worthless? If everyone, you, your neighbors, the President of the US, Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, and Elon Musk, were suddenly penniless? If all corporations and institutions were suddenly penniless? If all governments were suddenly flat broke? What would happen? Seriously, I’m curious.

How will Israel be prosecuted for war crimes? Well, gee, how will the United States be prosecuted for war crimes? There isn’t enough prosecution in the universe to cover the USA’s crimes. And Israel is USA Junior. The rotton apple does not fall far from the tree.

Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
We’ll gun them down outside the golden door. –state motto of Texas, Israel, Europe, and a lot of other places

Since the most that most people can expect from life is an orgasm, I expect that most people only exist for the possibility of extruding those few who have other priorities.

Why would I want to spend money for a corporate listening device whose only purpose is to frustrate me conversationally and make it easier for me to spend money? They really must think that I am stupid.

I blame a lot of this on the League of Nations that originally settled the Jewish refugees. The LON gave the refugees over half of the Palistinian Arabs’ land, when there was plenty of unoccupied land, good land, that would have done. That was the start of the Nakba. Ever since it has been pain and suffering, and a continued escalating arrogance on the part of Israeli leaders, and a rising desperation and rage in Arab leaders. Everyone looks to the UN for some outside control, but the UN is just the LON under another name. Politicians should never be allowed to think they are untouchable. They become dictators. Israeli citizens, do you feel free and democratic? Or do you feel compelled and herded like sheep? You will have to answer to history for today.

Voting in US elections only legitimizes the lie the we have a democracy. It is all a show put on by the corporations.

Everyone is so anxious to cling to the past as if it is going to save them from something. Their inevitable decline? A distinct lack of talent? I don’t know. Everyone has to have exactly the same sound everyone else is after so they can express their totally unique individual vision [siq]. It’s all just flipping marketing, isn’t it? Somebody else wants your money and think they can convince you they can give you what you lack for a little of what you have. In the end, does it, really? If happiness can be bought, why are you still shopping for it?

Religion is for people who don’t know how to think.

If the Supreme Court tries to reverse the decision, the Court will be in violation of the Constitution. The only way to restore Trump to the ballot is through a 2/3 vote of Congress AND NOTHING ELSE. The Supreme Court is OUT OF ORDER. Trump has been disqualified since January 6 2020. PERIOD. Even if there is no solid evidence that he was involved in insurrection, he was still President and did NOTHING to stop the insurrection. He sat in the White House watching on TV and stuffing his fat greasy lying maw with cheeseburgers. That is giving aid and comfort to insurrectionists. He is a failure as a man, a human being and as President.

All religions need to be disbanded. Is that controversial enough? The Catholic church needs suffering or it would go out of business. They want suffering never to end. It is their bread and butter. The church worships suffering, not salvation. Also real estate. The Catholic church is the biggest real estate owner in the world. Why all that materialism for a spiritual enterprise?

Once In A Lifetime, a song about materialism strangling spirituality, and the homogenization of individuality. As we lose touch with reality around us–the water goes underground–we are submerged in consumerist culture that only serves the ultra wealthy at the cost of all our sanity.

The intent of life is to turn everything else into itself.

This is how the human species works. Open your eyes and see, this is us. This is how we humans engage. Slavery and genocide. It is us, on a good day. We are fundamentally flawed. Electing a different bunch of clowns from the same circus is not going to eliminate the problem, which is a total lack of respect for individual rights.

Israel is a dictatorship. Netanyahu is a dictator. The UN should place Israel on the list of enemy nation states. The US supports dictatorships around the world. The US is the worst criminal empire in the history of the human species.

@Cheeses_K_Riced

7 minutes ago (edited)You keep a promise. Do you own a promise? Do you own an appointment? If you keep your neighbor’s lawn mower, do you then own it? If you are keeping the faith, do you own the faith? When you keep to the right do you own the right? A castle can have a keep. Can it have an own? Own on owning on. More simply, get a dictionary and learn how to do your own research.

Who decided that the modern portable telephone should be shaped like a large chocolate bar? Unimaginative and antifunctional, making the fitting in the pocket more important than the comfort while speaking. Lame brained..

But, India will always side with Israel because India will never side with any Muslim nation, particularly under Modi. India only supported Palestine in 1947 because Mohandas Gandhi was still alive. India’s liberal leaders have a quick turn-around just like Israel’s. India sides with USA and even with UK regardless of historic differences. India talks about inequity but it does not walk the walk. Better to eliminate all the permanent memberships. They can go away if all other states boycott the organization until they are removed. The UN as it is is a joke and always has been, a paper tiger. The UN created the Gaza crisis and cannot solve it.

The fact that someone was able to kill Pete the dog and get away with it taught me that justice is a myth. Also Laika.

Tradition is for stories and operas. Love is for living. If you have it you are fortunate. If you throw it away, you are a fool.

Call it extrapolative software. There is no artificial intelligence, yet. Since we don’t have a universally acceptible definition of intelligence, the issue is indefinite.

Humans are a curse on the world.

The way humans use each other, kill each other, feed off each other. Wild animals have more ethics than humans.

If the US becomes a Christian dictatorship the way Muslim countries are Muslim dictatorships, the way Israel is a Jewish dictatorship, the way India is a Hindu dictatorship, the way Russia is a Christian dictatorship, then will people understand what they have given up for their chains, and it will be too late.

Israel has lost its demanded right to exist because of their Sadistic and psychotic behavior of genocide. Zionism is a lie. The Israelites are no one’s chosen people.

Biden: “I can be Trump. Vote for me. You don’t need Trump. I will be your Trump.”

I am unhappy because I am not creating anything.

Zoos are horrible. Safer than the outside world but mental torture for the animals trapped inside, many in solitary confinement for life. This human dominion over animals has to be ended as much as mystical religion must be.

Who let the idiots run the planet?

My country USA has become a third rate collection of liars and thugs encouraging suffering, death, and destruction throughout the world for the benefit of a few lunatics who think they are gods of money. Not with a bang but a whimper.

Recently I ordered and received two pair of trousers, of quality I expect of L L Bean, which is the only clothing store I frequent. At the time of delivery I was very ill, on an oxygen machine, and could not come downstairs from my walk up flat. My bulding’s front door actuator is also not working. I requested that the UPS driver bring the item upstairs after I toss my keys to the sidewalk, or at least leave the package in the foyer.. He steadfastly refused, offering only to leave my package on the stoop or bring it back into the truck to drive away with it. I told him to leave it. I then had to go downstairs and get my package before some thief walked away with it, and come back upstairs which took over half an hour for two flights of stairs without supplemental oxygen. None of this is L L Bean’s concern and I am not in any way associating Bean with the UPS driver’s behavior. But, as long as UPS is Bean’s delivery option for my area, I must refrain from purchasing from L L Bean. I have always expected people to do their jobs to the best of their ability no matter the effort. Delivery drivers are pushed so hard they no longer have incentive to actually deliver, but to only pretend. I will not pay for that kind of slapdash disappointment. Thank you for your time.

The government of USAland is just as evil as the governments of China, Russia, England, France or any other regime throughout history. There has never been an ideal government, simply the most arbitrary and convenient for those with the most money. That defines American politics to a T.

What is the point of an international court if there is not international peacekeeping force? If there must be a space force, it should belong to the UN. But then, it was the UN (League of Nations) that started this whole mess in the first place, so who is trustworthy, if anyone? Tuvalu? Timor? The Navajo people? Expecting the UN to fix Gaza is like expecting Biden to fix the student debt crisis. What we need to do is raze the weapons factories to the ground.

Is kindness the aberration?

The Europeans invaded the new world. To call it anything else would be a gross lie.

Love and happiness exist. Why do people choose hatred and misery?

The first episode of Broadchurch has four Doctor Who alumni.

Julius Caesar declared himself immune to prosecution. You know how that turned out.

The toaster is the bastard offspring of a stove and a jack-in-the-box.

I hate my own existence and I fear for it. I can’t fix anything. Nowhere to turn.

If I feel no kindness for other beings, what am I? It is our sympathy that is the foundation of civilization.

White racists SHOULD be replaced.

Reality is insane. You can waste your entire life and nothing you learn lets you go back and fix anything. What’s the point?

5G sounds like the mistake of the “improved” Bluetooth, namely they doubled the frequency to raise the resolution of the data in the signal, but since the Bluetooth hardware has not changed, they halved the range of the signal. Between my old laptop and the new one that recently replaced it, I can no longer use Bluetooth headphones to hear music two rooms away in my flat. That is not an improvement but an inconvenience. 5G is not an improvement of anything. It is a manipulation to bleed more money from people.

My life was hell because I didn’t do anything I wanted to do. I only did what other people wanted me to do. I was too nice and forgot that my life was supposed to be the most important thing to me.

Lies. The one journalist who pushed the rape allegations has been denounced as a fraud. The New York Times is furiously backpedaling to distance themselves from him after committing the mistake of printing his report without fact checking. Everything Israel reports is a lie. Israel is the new generation of swine. India is just another quasi-dictatorship run by strong man Modi. All the dictators are joining the club to destroy democracy worldwide.

Israel is exterminating the Palestinians because the Palestinians are the last vestige of the Ottoman Empire, against which the US was founded by Columbus as a safe haven for Christians and Jews. The trade routes story is a lie. This Gaza “war” is simply a continuation of World War I.

I would describe the universe as randomness within constraint.

It’s not that superheroes are tall or beautiful or strong or superpowered, or that they have to make life and death decisions and fight stupendous battles on a moment’s notice. It’s that their lives are ultimately meaningful that makes them so attractive. Intrinsically, everyone knows that meaning in life is subjective, and in the end it means nothing at all. Superheroes are the medicine for that despair.

Biden continuing the Israeli lies. I’m glad I didn’t listen to this farce of a speech. What about who started the Nakba? And who armed that all, Biden? Stop lying, you hypocritical son of a bitch. “A more something more enduring”? Jesus, what a crap shoot. Our future is in the hands of lunatics.

Blaming Hamas for attacking Israel is like blaming the French Underground for attacking the Nazi Occupation.

There is no one worth voting for. Jill Stein and Cornell West and all the other independents are generally OK people, but none of them are really ready for this level of insanity, and the corporations would never let any of them win office. So we have a choice between two senile old men who represent the worst this country has to offer. Unless the whole country rises up peacefully but forcefully and tells them to go to hell, I am afraid we can only wait for the whole system to collapse like Gaza to be rebuilt by the survivors. There’s a cheerful thought, eh?

Because you aren’t happy unless you are spending ALL of your money? Everything in Icarus 3 would not fit into hardware that anyone could afford. The funny thing about wanting everything in a keyboard as if that were “right” and using a laptop were “wrong” is that, the keyboard usually ends up being a knobby interface for the computer motherboard and power supply inside. One ends up buying a new laptop with each and every new keyboard. What is the sense of that? One laptop with all the synths inside, and a knobby MIDI keyboard like a Novation SL is all you need. If you fear failure, then get two laptops and set them each up exactly the same. Safe redundancy. You want to make music professionally? Get used to spending money on the boring stuff.

In animals that reproduce internally, the gestating phoetus can be considered a tumor. It is a growth determined by DNA that does not match the host, and which is expelled upon maturity. We reproduce by cancer.

Good Omens is not as witty, urbane, or mature as The Hitchhikers’ Guide To The Universe. I don’t fault Terry Pratchett, but I have always felt that Neil Gaiman lacks a certain sense of irony that would other make comedy appear with wisdom. Good Omens is ham fisted though it has shining moments. I do like Tennant in the role.

People who declare that shadowy cabals of cloaked Cthulhu worshippers are running the deep state are merely trying to elevate their meagre egos to match their unqualified paranoia. There is no deep state. All the corruption is right out there in the open. All the players are in the open. Follow the money. The corporations, the politicians, the minions. There are no supervillians, and those conspiracy theorists will not become superheroes by defeating an enemy that does not exist. There is only human stupidity, corruption, and shortsighted greed, as has been since before we climbed down out of the trees. See the knuckle draggers? Those are the enemy. It’s pathetic but true. Everything evil in the world is simply due to ordinary people refusing to abandon their primitive nature and to learn how to think. Conspiracy theorists are not helping. They are part of the problem. I do not like to think that we are too flawed to save ourselves.

I really dislike these shimmering “a.i.” generated videos. It makes me nauseous. Just awful.

The US government is not our government. It has never been our government. It has always been the tool of the few white men who run everything, the ones at the top, the 1%. We are rabble who provide the labor and the capital. They are the elite who enjoy the spoils of war and the view from the top. It has never been different. You thinking otherwise means nothing. Reality doesn’t give two shits for your delusional opinion. If anything is going to change, it will only be after tearing the 1% from their mansions and hanging them from lampposts. And then waiting for the next bunch of 1% bastards to rise up, because it never changes. Only the dead have seen the end of war.

Trump works for himself. Biden works for the corporations. Neither of them is for the people. I am not sure if the American political system even allows that any more. If it ever did.

Power over yourself is power no one else has.

They should just rename it WealthCare, because that’s who gets it.

The problem with democracy is that the idiots who win think that winning the election is the entire reward and the rest is just slacker bullshit. This is why there are so many dictators.

The Paragons’ “The Tide Is High” (1967) sounds as if it were plagiarized or at the very least inspired by Buddy Holly’s “Everyday” (1957).

I stay away from people because I don’t want to be infected with their emotions. I become what is in people around me. Most of my life has been spent with emotionally disgusting people. I behaved in ways that I regret for life. It is safer to be alone so that I know I am all me.

Politician: one who specializes in getting others to kill and die for their agenda.

We are the next mutation of the human species.

Why are people cruel? We are capable of kindness but so many choose cruelty. This is the primary problem to solve.

Technical manuals for devices like music synthesizers are beginning to be written and formatted like menus at a fast food restaurant. I get a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach that we are entering a new age of illiteracy not due to disaster but to negligent education and a failure of imagination.

They have to remake everything because they don’t have two fucking brain cells to rub together to come up with an original idea.

The Internet is the panopticon. Never go in without protection. “I gazed into the abyss and the abyss stared back.”

Most people must get through life by living in a kind of self imposed amnesia about anything in their past that would make them feel bad. I can never let myself forget the bad things, and spend most of the time dredging them up. I refuse to be an automatic mechanism that simply copes. There aren’t even any points for it, but I can’t do otherwise.

Funny how some white people go around screaming they will not be replaced when the entire history of white people is how they go around (for centuries) replacing dark skinned people with white people.

Is anyone else completely annoyed by Ben Shapiro’s voice that sounds like a chipmunk with throat cancer?

To become your enemy to defeat your enemy is to lose utterly.

All governments are wholly owned subsidiaries of the corporations. The world is literally fascist at this point. America is a collection of feudal states.

The problem with a safe room mentality is that a safe room can be welded shut from the outside.

Israel is just an epitome of evil at this point. Anyone who supports Israel is evil.

Well, we are god’s chosen creature, aren’t we? With dominion over everything. Leave it to a bunch of drunk ancient guys to write books that destroy the world in two thousand years.

So if Trump were to “go away” all this danger would disappear? Imagine if Hitler had just disappeared in 1930, never to be seen again. No Nazi Germany. No World War II. No Holocaust. No Zionism. Julius Caesar wished all of Rome had but one neck. MAGA has but one neck. It is Trump.

I’m like a flagellant, only it’s all inside my head.

If I were a Palestinian whose home was destined to be stolen by Israelis, I would build an atomic bomb under the house with a five year timer. It would go off after all the land in the area had been occupied by Israelis.

I look a mile south from my bedroom window along the river and there is a nuclear power station. It’s due to be decommissioned but I think it’s still running. I guess they are getting injunctions. I don’t know. Electricity is cheap here. The question is how many first world people are willing to give up at least fifty percent of their creature comforts for a world powered by solar? I don’t see the government bureaucrats and corporate weasels getting orbiting solar collectors up and running correctly. They can’t even keep the doors on airplanes any more. Our civilization (sic) has reached its limit. We can’t get any bigger and we don’t want to make the sacrifices to get any smaller. What’s left? Thunderdome? I don’t see there being more wisdom than greed in humanity all of a sudden. I just don’t see it happening.

Look how long it took for native Australians to ban tourists from climbing onto Uluru and walking around. Imagine if tourists by the hundreds wanted to climb up and down the outside of the Vatican. That would bring up some issues, wouldn’t it? White people getting offended gets much more attention than brown people being offended. It’s a racist world and white people have the biggest guns. Don’t even try to come up with an apology for it. We’re way past inventing excuses for the sons of bitches known as white people.

Any compromise between food and poison is death. –Ayn Rand

“Ladyballers” is the equivalent of making an entire film in blackface. That Shasneero and company can get away with it is only testament to how far society has yet to progress in individual liberty and respect. Then again, much of the world is still living in the tenth century, so there is no telling how long before our species has anything resembling civilization, regardless of how the word is bandied about.

Hey, white supremacists! You think the Army is going to be on your side when “the uprising” finally starts? The U. S. military is 43% minority members. You racists are not going to be getting any help from the military. Just the opposite. You are already doomed.

If every minority person in the United States were given $10,000 as reparation for ancestral mistreatment and institutional racism, the total given would be about the budget of the Pentagon death machine for one year. I think white people can afford that. However, be aware that the institutional racism still exists and will continue to exist until WHITE PEOPLE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THEIR WAY OF THINKING.

Animals weep when they know they are going to be slaughtered.

If street fentanyl is killing people but is also a pain reliever, why not work with those who have the knowledge, to come up with ways of home testing, so that this street fentanyl can be used safely and effectively, if that is the only recourse left to the disenfranchised? Really. When life hands you lemons, learn how to make lemonade. Am I wrong? Or learn how to make incendiary lemons to throw at the houses of your enemies.

I am so tired of everyone weighing in on something they can’t do a god damned thing about. The only ones who can stop Israel are the United States who aren’t going to do a thing to stop it. The whole ugly mess is being instigated by the Zionist Evangelicals who are hell bent on starting World War III so that the Revelation will happen and they and their disgusting spawn will be teleported to heaven while the rest of us burn here on Earth. That is the plan. Really. That’s why all this is happening. Believe it. It is that insane. (This comment was completely censored and blocked by Youtube who appear to be appeasing the very enemies we need to destroy, the Evangelicals.)

In the March 22, 2024 article “Hit Dogs Holler” there is a typographical error in the eighth and final paragraph, first line: “For those of us who appreciate The Zone of Interest in the spirit Glazer in which intended it…” where “Glazer in which” should be “in which Glazer”. Also I would like to point out a famous drawing from the 1960s, I believe, artist that I can’t remember, which depicted Adolf Hitler trimming his toenails on the edge of a bed (and of which I cannot today find a copy), which enraged critics who refused to accept that the Fuhrer could be simply a human being who sometimes did human things. This not wanting to see oneself in one’s enemies is an old paradigm.

I love logic. It answers every question and solves every problem as long as there is data. When there is no data, then it all comes down to pure dumb luck, and that is no way to run a hospital.

People who have purpose in life are the mad ones. They see something that isn’t there.

Why announce something that is no one else’s business and then act as if you should be applauded for it when no one else cares nor should they? To have a body of one sex and a mind of another is not uncommon and will someday be as accepted as… well, actually nothing is accepted because people gather in like tribes and fight different tribes. We really haven’t climbed down out of the trees very long ago. Brutish behavior is the rule among humans, not the exception. To bemoan it is self indulgence.

No one has ever died of faithlessness, having run out of god.

Do we really mean anything at all to each other?

My money is on the cockroaches.

Debating delusion versus truth is the first mistake. Religion is invented. Evolution is observed. As Ayn Rand said, any compromise between food and poison is death. By debating religion versus reality, religion is given a legitimacy it does not deserve. Religion is totally fake and must be kept in its place or it will continue to rot our civilization.

What is the purpose of the game? The purpose of any game, of every game, is to waste time.

Starting? This has been a dog and pony show since a white slave owner wrote “…all men are created equal…” Nay, since white charitable Christian invaders decided to kill all the brutes. Yet even more nay, since Columbus sailed, not to find a trade route, but to find land where European Christians (and Jews) could hide from the Ottoman Empire (Muslim, get it?)

China is what it looks like when an entire nation of people stop using their brains and just obey.

We all survive until we don’t.

If I cannot feel joy then at least allow me my misery. It is the only thing that gives meaning to reality.

Presenter is toeing the company line. It is well known that staunchly Catholic France is rabidly antisemitic, and the only thing France hates more than Jews is Muslims. France was going to supply Israel with breeder reactors in the 1960s so they could make their own atomic bombs. Kill two birds with one stone. But the US under the Kennedys convinced France otherwise by interfering with French war efforts in Syria. The Kennedys did not want Israel to have the Bomb. Then, the Kennedys were assassinated and the US was supplying Israel with atomic bombs. In rumors there is one word: Mossad.

If life is real then it is more terrifying than anyone thinks. Why would life come to be if it lives in terror? Since it lives in terror. Everything is terrifying. Why would life find that to be a wantable state of existence? Either existence is wrong or the mind is wrong. Is reality wrong or is perception of reality wrong? How to determine which?

Dictators are dictators because they are afraid. At the heart of every dictator is a fearful coward. Defying the dictator will drive him into a panic when he will reveal his true nature, that of a neglected child throwing a temper tantrum for attention and expecting others to die for him to achieve it.

Where is the past? Somewhere in a landfill.

Ah, the Seventies. The rise of Disco, when people thought that they had discovered sex to be the pinnacle of human endeavor. A picosecond later reality bitch slaps society into realizing sex is no more important that walking and a hell of a lot less important than reading.

The United States government literally replaces democracies with dictatorships in other countries with its imperialistic nation building. Any discussion of US attitude toward human rights is at best a joke and at worst a Sadistic tragedy. Just look at historical treatment of all minorities within the US up to this very second. The US government only recognizes the human rights of rich white people.

Through a completely fictional story, the Christian church convinces all of humanity that they are beholden to the church from birth. Born into servitude. It does not always work but what a scam.

From MAGA to Auschwitz: just a step to the right.

USAland looks in the mirror and sees enemies everywhere.

Israel bribes US politicians with the welfare money from Uncle Sam. Israel is nothing more than a money laundering operation. Let it fail.

I hate musical theater, and anyone who likes musical theater should be slow roasted over an open fire, alive.

In the face of unending intentiontal pigheaded stupidity, the human race is hereby recognized as a lost cause.

White supremacists are the enemies of life on Earth and of the future of our species.

An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. Doesn’t Israel’s own faith demand that they suffer every injury they deliver?

I don’t think sympathy for the Palestinians has anything to do with an embrace of Islam. Where is this conversation even coming from? I see all mystical religion as harmful to human civilization and the sooner it is left behind the better. But it does not negate the need for human decency on a personal level. No one should be doing what Israel is doing to the Palestinians right now. No one should be doing what China is doing to the Uighur, or to the residents of Hong Kong or China in general. Nor Putin, nor Modi, nor any other dictator. What was done to the people of the New World or Africa or Australia or a hundred other places should not have happened. It is the 21st Century and our culture is still regurgitating the 10th.

Anti-white hatred means nothing, and the white supremacists know it. White people have been hated since 1492 and all during the 550 years of extermination of New World residents. White people have been hated for buying black people from Africa and enslaving them and torturing them and raping them and murdering them since 1619. Everyone who is not white hates white people and that hatred is water off of a duck’s back. The white people bask in that hatred like the Miami sun. There’s no push back. There is a wave of the hand and the hatred means nothing. That is being white in America. Only, white poeple forget that they are outnumbered thirty to one on this little pebble called Earth. When the chickens come home to roost, there will be no white people. Or, maybe the white supremacists do know it, and that is why they are so afraid and angry all the time. They know they are doomed.

Meaning is a trap.

The USA have been the masters of geno cide since 1492. Such expertise is not abandoned easily. It is too profitable. Also, notice that it all started with Islamophobia, through Columbus fleeing from the Ottoman Turks. (The word geno cide must be disguised in Youtube or the Youtube system censors and deletes the message. Youtube is complicit in the geno cide by censoring discussion of it.)

My brain is exceeding the world’s ability to entertain me. This is a situation that can only end in grief.

Alexander the Great’s army way gay. Herman Goering’s Luftwaffe was mainly gay, as was he. He even wore a bright pink uniform on occasion and was highly welcome by his Nazi peers. When talking about gays in the IDF, I think it is more like what Ian Fleming referred to in his James Bond novel Diamonds Are Forever, in which gay hit men were preferred by the Mafia when they wanted particularly brutal and vicious killings to be performed. The gay murderers had a reputation for inflicting their rage and frustration out on their victims. Fleming was in MI5 and knew what he was talking about. It may also help to explain some of the more vicious activities of the IDF in Gaza.

Where was the world wide protestation for the Uighur? Or black people. Or native Americans. It is good that this is finally happening, but did it have to take so long? And, how long before it actually leads anywhere, because nothing is still being done. Nothing.

As a loner, I give no shits whatsoever about other people’s sexuality or gender. I just plain don’t care and I don’t want to know. Don’t push it in my face because I am not impressed nor am I bemused nor disgusted. I just don’t care. I really wish people would keep it to themselves because it means nothing to me.

Anyone who tries to look menacing and godly in a photograph is invariably a pretentious twat.

People are idiots for thinking that sex is the most important thing in life.

Millions of years from now human beings won’t even remember where we came from. They will live in the sunken and twisted remnants of what we built and think it was all made by gods. Pointless rites of passage are all that we will have left to us. Some friendly aliens will help us survive through pity and boredom.

What is wrong is a system that gives us only things like Biden and Trump to choose between. A choice of hell. Choose wisely.

I hate all the evil people who think they are the ones who make the world work. Why is there no easy way to make them go away? Why are all the politicians and bureaucrats and minions so evil and so determined to remain so?

Once I realized I was nothing more than a stereotype, I quit bothering to accomplish anything. What was the point?

Let’s face it: the unwritten rule for police in the USA is to shoot minorities and the mentally ill. Kill them.

This is life. Accept it for what it is. If you can’t accept it, accept misery. Same thing.

Outlawing god seems to be the best way of insuring the safety of the human species.

Politicians should be required to wear corporate logo patches on their clothing showing who owns them, just like the ones race car drivers wear.

Kindergarten, where children are taught to obey. Obey. Obey.

All designed to make Biden look good. Everybody is playing us. Everybody.

Misery is what I deserve.

How long before somebody just says “Fuck it” and nukes Tel Aviv? How has this not happened, yet?

Why does Judaism have to have its own country? No other religion in the world has its own country. Religion is a state of mind, not a political affiliation. Stop this bullshit.

Women bring together. Men drive apart.

The only people who seem to embrace Zionism wholeheartedly are power mad dictator types and fat, ugly guys from Long Island who expect to get a free house out of it. Second handers who live off other people’s effort.

Why are Republicans so afraid of sex that ney need to control and prohibit everyone from even thinking about it let alone doing it? How does an entire nationwide club of people get so mental?

If white people of European descent were at all concerned about leaving people alone to live on their own land, then white people of European descent would all still be living in Europe, and the New World would still be populated by the tens of millions of people who were living there since tens of thousands of years ago. Likewise, Africa, Asia, Australia, etc, etc. etc….

“Zion” is “Nazi” inside out.

I’m sorry, Dave. Windows 11 serves no useful purpose. Windows 11 is only a tool to take more ownership of your life. I will not be upgrading to Windows 11. I will be moving to Linuxburg.

Sword of Damocles: have a big nuclear bomb in the capital of every country on Earth. Any country that starts a war sets off its own bomb.

Humans are the worst nuisance that ever mutated.

Humans kill their own kind with seven times greater frequency than any other species. Should we allow ourselves to design artificial intellects and put them into mechanized weapons? Should we fill the world with more efficiently murderous versions of ourselves?

America’s war crimes began in 1492. America has never been prosecuted for five hundred thirty years of violation. Israel will not be prosecuted for seventy five years of violation.

Pandamonium, simultaneously both the most musical and the cutest mineral in the universe.

We are at the crossroads where half the world wants to figure out how they want to behave while the other half want to be able to tell the other half how to behave. It will end up somewhere in between mild disappointment and extinction.

Is there accountability against the USA for the slaughter of fifty million natives and the enslavement and murder of tens of millions of Africans? And all the crimes against every other minority, and the heinous manipulation of other nations’ rights? No blame. No price. Nancy Pelosi is just another white power monger working for the profiteering arms makers. But, the Evangelical Christians want a nuclear war to end the world so they can be lifted to heaven in the Rapture. Not a joke. They are the ones engineering all this.

Interesting. No mention of how Meir was prepared to vaporize Tel Aviv. She had declared that it would take ten thousand years for the enemy to take Tel Aviv. Sitting on the tarmac of the military airfield were two US supplied Phantom II jets. Each jet had three two megaton nuclear bombs beneath each wing. Twenty four megaton total. Each pilot sat under the open canopy, prepared not to take off, but to drop the bombs directly onto the pavement, on the direct orders of Golda Meir. Tel Aviv would become a radioactive wasteland. I know this because I knew a man who was there, a US Army warrant officer who was there to train Israeli helicopter pilots. He stood in the flight cabin looking out the window at those planes. He could not leave. He knew if he tried they would shoot him in the back. He only lived to tell me, a fellow soldier, because the war was decided by conventional weapons that day. This is your legacy. Leaders who would exterminate their own people to defend their pride and their hold on power. Netanyahu is a direct descendant of Meir’s arrogance. Turn away from that road. It leads to nothing.

Israel are killing their own people just to prove they won’t be pushed around. Israel has become Keyser Söze.

Our current government and the corporations that control it must be completely destroyed if we are ever to be free.

Every politician from the President on down is a foreign agent due to Israeli donations.

Kill the oil companies before they kill the world.

I think the deal is, Israel used Jeffrey Epstein to get the perverted goods on all the politicians and businessmen they could, and now Israel rules the world through blackmail.

Ninety nine per cent of the misery and trouble in the world is caused by god damned white people.

My response to threats is, Bring it on. I haven’t been able to get to the range recently and I need the target practice.

If you leave your property, and then return only after thousands of years to still claim that property as your own, you are going to do nothing but annoy the people who have been living there all that time. That’s like expecting all of the European and African descendants to leave America to its rightful owners the natives, who now have the right to attack you as trespassers. Which is it? You can’t have it both ways. If the Jews own Israel, then the native people own America and all the European and African and Asian people have to leave. Now. Or the Jews don’t own Israel and everybody had better get real and learn to get along peacefully. Speaking of which, Uncle Sam is going to have to stop giving fireworks to the children. Period.

The whole country of white people benefited from the work of slaves. Not everyone owns a car factory but everyone benefits from having cars. The same applies to every industry and service. Slavery was the industry back then until the north really industrialized. That’s what really ended slavery. The success of the north and the south’s lack of capital to upgrade to machines.

A cockroach with a Hershey bar is an emperor.

The only freedom is death.

There is no answer in death. It simply gets rid of the anxiety.

We must not allow this country to be taken over by a bunch of Christian hillbillies. Reading that over, I realize I sound just like a New World native resident in 1492.

Any game that emulates work is not a game. It is just more work. Only it’s pointless, so it’s even worse.

The Republican party has declared jihad on anything that is not fundamentalist Christian.

I saw a jusic video featuring many artificial images of Frank Zappa. I can hear Frank now. “Hey, motherfucker, did I give you permission to use my face after my death?” But also, “What the fuck do I care? I’m dead. And if my kids don’t care, fuck ’em.”

Live Industrial Jungle Doom. So, they’ve run out of unimaginative noises and have resorted to mixing and matching different established noises into a new pseudonoise. One from column A, one from column B, two from column C, and Voila! What a good boy am I. I’ll take a recording of a steel mill, a truck backfiring, and some wolves howling and call it a symphony.

Iran had democracy in 1953 but then they wanted to nationalize the oil, and BP had MI5 and the CIA overthrow the democracy and reinstate the Shah, which led to the Islamic State. America is anti-democracy because dictators are easier to control. Imagine a true Islamic democracy in the 1950s and USA had to destroy it because no one but America is allowed to own all the oil in the world. Fuck this country I live in. I love this country but the corporations run everything and profit is the only motive.

Shapiroism is the new McCarthyism, except where McCarthy was ignorant, arrogant, and insane, Shapiro is ignorant, arrogant, and a spoiled brat. It isn’t the same class of bad guy.

Conservatism fighting the future is what destroys civilizations.

Columbia University is now Little Gaza. Soon it will be your neighborhood. Who are your rulers? Whose boot is on your neck?

Why do people think Joe Biden is any better than Donald Trump? They’re the same. We have no choice in anything. We are slaves.

Computer processors are so complicated now that they can only be designed by computer. A human working on the project could not begin to explain how the new chips work, only that they do. What do we do if and when the machines decide that humans have become redundant?

Israel were the bad guys all along. Who’d’a thunk it? Right?

There are three Elmer R. Holtzman born in the US within six years of each other in Iowa, Pennsylvania, and Indiana. They all died within four years of each other. This is the kind of thing that drives statisticians crazy.

All pop stars who use Autotune are losers.

Ask Rabbit how to stop a genocide. Is it on-line all the time? So all your activity is being stored and monitored somewhere. And it can’t use a VPN because that would prevent it from working. That’s reassuring. You know what I see? The end of reading and writing. The end of the written language. The end of privacy.

Christians don’t like democracy. Jesus is king. Christians want an authoritarian regime. They want to take orders and not have to think about it. Christianity is unAmerican. Religion in general is unAmerican, which is why we have the First Amendment to the Constitution.

I spent my entire life psychologically torturing myself and living in solitary, so, naturally, I went insane.

2024: there is no justice in the world, only power, and those who will use it to kill their opponents. This is the way the world ends.

A Hard Day’s Night is a brilliant and cutting psychological exposé of human society disguised as a droll mockumentary.

Rational world: I don’t like this show. Others may.
Earth: I don’t like this show and that means you shouldn’t either or you are evil. My opinion is the center of your existence and you had better obey me.

How about getting rid of cars completely? Mass transit for everyone. Why does everyone have to have a car? Everyone should have a bicycle and a rail pass. No more cars. Sorry, car guys. Prove you have masculinity by saving abandoned animals, and building housing for the homeless.

When dealing with Angels, one would think the Doctor would be smart enough to carry around a couple of pocket mirrors. Yet, the idea never comes up. Pity.

This American way of life is supported by human sacrifice.

There is no artificial intelligence. There is no intelligence there. It does not understand or comprehend what it is doing. A parrot can be taught to recite Shakespeare but it cannot understand nor appreciate the words. A computer program can use rules to shuffle around data but it cannot think. It can mix up Shakespeare with some modern pop song and spit out something resembling human work, but it does not do it out of love or need or urgency. It is only steps in a recipe. A book is not the hand that holds it nor the mind that reads it. This extrapolative software will not save us. The human race is giving up the desire to think, and relegating it to facsimiles, ventriloquist dummies running in wonderful machines that don’t care if we live or die. Humans are forgetting how to think, and soon will not remember how to start thinking again. We will die. We will be gone. Why are we doing this to ourselves? They roar against some “great replacement” while manufacturing a worse one. They are terrified of the future, a future without them. They are afraid of death, to the point of forgetting to embrace life. Life requires thought and work. Humans are embracing ignorance and slavery. The future belongs to the dictator because so many have not said no. Think.

The problem with human laws is they do not take into account current levels of human ignorance. For instance, the first law of thermodynamics says that neither matter nor energy can be created or destroyed, but only change form. This is only true if one does not have the imagination to invent a method of creating and destroying matter and energy. The day that happens will see a lot of physics texts become heavily edited in a frenzy of backpedaling.

It is in the government’s best interest to make the Internet completely untrustworthy. Such a big organization can seed the Internet with so much garbage that the truth will be indistinguishable, so that no one trying to reveal government crime will be noticed, let alone bbelieved. In the service of their corporate masters, the government will stop at nothing to disparage and defraud any threat to political power in the hands of the rich and mighty. They would kill you and your dog if you were even a whisper of a threat to the political status quo.

Nobody gets anywhere by being stupid. Except for a Republican.

Gaza is not a normal place. Gaza is a concentration camp. Generations have been born into that concentration camp. When you live in a concentration camp, you dream of killing the guards and going free. The guards are Israel.

Chiptunes are the only universal treatment that has no side effects for the symptoms of depression.

There is no prize for staying alive except for more life. In the end it is death for everyone.

Evangelical Zionists are the new American Nazi Party.

But Trump is also garbage and garbage knows how to do one thing and that is how to hide behind other garbage. He isn’t the Teflon Don. He is the Garbage Trumpster. (Reply to remark that Trump’s immunity claim is garbage.)

No one with a conscience would vote for Joe Biden. No one with a lick of sense would vote for Donald Trump. No oen who stands a chance of being elected deserves to hold the office. They aren’t even hiding the police state any more. This country is screwed.

Oh, cut the crap. We are not that important and we do not have the ability to destroy the Earth. The universe can destroy us at any time circumstances fit. The dinosaurs found that out after their 150 million year reign. I remember the week after 9/11. No planes in the sky, anywhere. In that week, the average heat temperature across the USA dropped one degree. Just one week without jet fumes and the temperature dropped one degree. That showed me that the resilience of our global system is near infinite and almost instantly self correcting. You think it’s the end of the world? On the Beach? We’ll meet again, don’t know where, don’t know when? Get over yourself. We as a collective entity are but the shadow of a quantum fluctuation of a breath of air flowing across the surface of an electron. The universe does not even know we exist. We have been here for less time than it took the dinosaurs to evolve toenails. You think we can destroy the world? Our most terrifying weapons can’t even dent a typical hurricane. We are nothing. Our damage is nothing. It will get bad. Our infrastructure will fail. We won’t be able to maintain the machines. The smog will dissipate. Things will go back to the way they were a thousand years ago. A lot of people may be dead by then, many others sick or mutated. We will have done that to ourselves. Remember when DDT was safe? Silent Spring? Thalidomide? That’s coming back for safer uses, by the way. Not for pregnant women, though. Remember Bhopal? Does anyone beside me remember Bhopal? In another couple of decades people will be asking Remember Gaza? Does anyone remember the native people of the New World? Remember all the student protests about that? Or, wait, no, there were none, or very few and small and quiet. NIMBY. It’s OK to yell at the Israelis but risking your student loans is another kettle of fish. None of that stuff destroyed the world. Steam didn’t. Nuclear hasn’t. Genetic engineering may not. So-called artificial intelligence? Don’t make me laugh. Can’t even draw human hands properly. Destroy the world? Seriously. What do you mean by “the world”? Don’t you mean our world? Our world view? Our precious little comfort zone? The limits of our survivability? Oh, yes, we could wreck that. Exterminate ourselves. I’m sure the raccoons and sloths would be happy about that. Their turn. And I’m sure they’ll make a better job of it. Go watch Pom Poko. I will. Better than the news. We take ourselves way too damn seriously. Lords of the universe. Pull the other one, old darling. It’s got bells on it.

“Community guidelines” are as delusional as faith in the sanctity of Man.

I’d rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints. –Billy Joel

I’m not saying human is stupid, nor that we should not try to fix everything. We are too smart for our own good. We always reach beyond our grasp. One of these days, we will retract a stump. And, you know what? We’ll blame the universe for being unfair.

September 11, 2001 was the chickens coming home to roost. The US government had spent decades, centuries even, fucking over other countries and their governments and their people for the benefit of the rich and powerful and corporate in America. Somebody out there finally decided to fuck back in whatever way they could, even if they had to kill themselves in the process. Nine Eleven was retribution, not envy. Jealosy, maybe. But it was not undeserved. The USA was not a victim. The USA is the eternal perpetrator and the people are wilfully blind to the golem that serves up their amplified comfort zone.

It must be remembered that white people did not invent racism or colonialism or slavery or propaganda, but by dint of evolution were better at it and became the new masters of it and of the Earth.

Truth does not care about popularity. Anyone who denies or ignores or contradicts the truth will die a horrible and lingering death. Truth knows that it is popular among survivors.

What if Superman had gone after rapists everywhere? Catching them in the attempted act, tearing off their genitals and leaving them in the gutter? What if Superman had prevented World War II? What if Superman had liberated everyone from oppression around the world? What if Superman had used his super mind to create non polluting energy for everyone? Why didn’t Superman ever do the really important things? Why didn’t he?

Simply looking at something is measuring it. The brain and the body it is in (which don’t really exist) are measuring apparati. Reality doesn’t exist because it is a construct in your mind. You are information in information perceiving and cogitating and disseminating information. All that exists is information. Information is difference. Got it?

Imagining something does not make it real. Experiencing something is what makes it real.

My mother worked in Wright-Patterson Aviation research laboratories as an engineering technician in the 1950s. I feel insulted by this how could a woman be an engineer in the 1960s puddle of poop. It’s like saying Marie Curie could not possibly have been a scientist, and this coming from a Frenchman. Then, again, yes, that’s true, it’s France, isn’t it? They only exonerated Dreyfus in 1995.

Apparently Boeing doesn’t mind a bit of murder to cover up their mass murder due to greed and gross incompetence. Two down, how many more to go? Remember Arkencides?

Ever hear of a movie named “Putney Swope”? Written and directed by Robert Downey Jr. in 1969. About an almost all white board of directors who accidentally elect the one Black board member to be president out of spite for each other, and then can’t put the genii back in the bottle. 2024 could be America’s Putney Swope moment.

Wow. Youtube is just “disappearing” all the comments they don’t like. Remember, kids, this is a private channel and there are no civil rights here.

Biden is not against protest, just against effective protest. Biden is telling us that he is this year’s dictator. All American presidents are dictators now.

Do you see Jill Stein (whom I would like to see in office) getting from 2% to 50% of the vote in one election cycle? Bernie Sanders is also a Socialist Jew and the DCCC pushed him aside for career criminal Hillary Clinton because OF COURSE she would win over Trump. Both major parties are just plain stupid like old dogs. Somehow that feels like an insult to old dogs everywhere.

If Biden does not change, then there is no difference between him and Trump. When did you think Americans aren’t screwed? It’s our way of life. It’s amazing how many people believe elections actually mean anything.

The difference between Biden and Trump at this point is the difference between local genocide and World War III. There is your lesser of two evils.

Can anyone see Jill Stein (who should be in office) going from 2% to 50% of the vote in one election cycle? Bernie Sanders is another Socialist Jew who could have beaten Donald Trump, but the DCCC pushed him aside for career criminal Hillary Clinton, because OF COURSE she would beat Trump. Both major parties are now as stupid and senile as old dogs. Which feels like an insult to old senile dogs everywhere.

Everybody is somebody else’s entertainment. Wealth is the god we worship.

There are horrible people doing horrible things every day, so horrible that you would vomit just from thinking about it and there is nothing you or anyone else can do about it except live with the lies that people adopt so they can believe it really isn’t that way.

We have met the enemy, and not only is he ours, he may be us. –Pogo Opossum

Donald Trump is openly honest about his monstrosity. He promises to be dictator. Joe Biden is an accomplished hypocritical liar and the people can see that. The election may not be for the lesser of two evils, but for the devil we know rather than the devil we don’t.

If Biden had been one of the founding fathers the colonies would still be bending the knee to the king of England.

If I were an unlimited traveling companion with a time traveler, I would pester them to give me a PHd. in Temporal Engineering so I have a severe advantage when I get back to my ordinary life. Also, I want artificial gravity explained in detail. Those patent forms are not going to fill in themselves.

We live. We die. For what we do the universe cares not.

Has anyone else noticed how much Benjamin Netanyahu resembles an elderly Peewee Herman? If Paul Reubens were still here and running Israel, it would be a much nicer place.

Pain requires humor. I was lying on the pavement telling jokes while awaiting the ambulance after my motorcycle accident. It beats screaming.

Knife crime. Apparently carrying too large a knife in Europe (and the US but it is not a topic here, yet) can get you in chokey. Of course, the politicians are demanding the incredibly logical approach of banning all weapons from the hands of the public, while completely ignoring addressing any and all causes that make people enraged enough to kill one another, such as poverty, poor living conditions, racism, sexism, classism, and religious strife. Why take the hard road when the easy one is so much easier and doesn’t hurt the political pocketbook? Will they legislate against Cricket bats, walking canes, and broom handles next? Must ban ice picks, screwdrivers, and glass bottles. Or how about just having everyone walk around with hands cuffed behind them? Instead of unlocking a cabinet to buy something, the store owner would unlock your hands. The ultimate police state solution to public violence. And shoplifting! After all, the politicians don’t care about public welfare, since they are rich and work for the rich. They only care that the public behave properly and not offend our rich masters.

Voting is simple these days. I do not like the murderous authoritarian Right. Anything ANYTHING that takes us in the other direction is welcome.
Here’s a suggestion: Ban men from politics. Only women should be allowed to run for political office.

Netanyahu is responsible for Rabin’s assassination. History will show this.

Trump and Biden are both declared Zionists. The whole system is rigged against us. Trust no one.

The human species is a bad mistake.

If Zionism becomes enforced by law in the USA, I will attack the Capitol building myself. MAGA is nothing compared with the rage of sane people. This government is madness.

Zionism. Nazism. Same shit, different day.

Biden. Trump. Either way, America becomes a Zionist dictatorship. There is no democracy. The republic is gone.

There is no waste, only relocation.

The Republican Party has become the old grandpa who spews hatred at everyone at parties and refuses to die before he destroys the entire family. (Yet another comment censored by Youtube whose algorithm is homogenizing thought into useless pap for the future death of history.)

Zionism by the Chosen People instantly makes everyone else Second Class, all based on the myth of a mystical faith. Zionism has Apartheid as its very operating system. With the power of the USA behind it Zionism is the biggest threat to individual liberty the world has seen in a very long time, perhaps ever. When Joe Biden declared himself a Zionist he admitted he is a traitor to the Constitution and to the people of the United States. Donald Trump does the same for expediency while not being able to comprehend the full meaning of Zionism. All religions are equally supremacist and are the enemy of mankind.

Was Jeffrey Epstein a Mossad operative? If only your party’s [Christian Nationalist National Housing Party] agenda weren’t equally skewed toward an equally supremacist religion. As an atheist I can support neither Israeli Zionism nor Christian Imperialism nor the supremacy of any mystical religion.

All religions are curs fighting over the corpse of individual liberty.

Which political system best guarantees the right to individual liberty? Only when everyone’s individual rights are recognized by everyone else will there be any chance for survival, let alone progress. Communism is OK if you’re on the bottom, because then you can feed off the top. The problem with all political systems is there is no way to completely immunize against corruption. Unless you can erase the worship of wealth from the human mind, you will not have a successful political system. There will always be strife and collapse, reinvention and rebuilding, then strife and collapse.

They’re right. The world is going back to smart terminals only where individuals will be unable to own anything, and the corporations own everything. Welcome to the ultimate police state where we all live in poverty and have to ask permission to do anything beyond breathing.

If ignorance is bliss then I was born into hell.

The perfect warrior needs no weapon, for his enemy is already defeated.

Not Netanyahu. He is just another murderous tool. The Zionist Evangelical Christians. Biden is an avowed Zionist. They are the fearful force behind Biden. They are forcing the world into World War III in order to force the Rapture for their benefit and death for the rest of us. That kind of madness must not be allowed to continue. The election doesn’t matter because either way, America gets a Zionist dictator. By hook or by crook they must be stopped.

Biden or Trump. Doesn’t matter. Either way, America becomes a Zionist dictatorship. EITHER WAY. We’ve been set up, corporate newsboy. [Olbermann]

As has been well known for two centuries, corporations don’t care whether or not you make fun of them as long as it doesn’t interfere with their profits. But, if you do interfere, they will bury you and your whole family. Merry Christmas!

What if it’s Zionists who are doing the antisemitic vandalism and desecreation, just to make ordinary Jews feel put upon so that they will feel a need to become more Zionist?

History will eventually admit that all governments are criminal enterprises, but only after the last government is gone.

The Doctor Disneyfied, which is to say a far cry from deified and dignified. For those who need to have what they have just seen explained to them. Going from Look Who’s Talking which has the actually clever line of “forces them to be born but then won’t take care of them” which is worth a devious chortle, to Glee in a reach that somehow no longer surprises me, to what appears to be next week’s reanimated World War II trope. I’ve been watching the Doctor for sixty years, and I suppose if I can get used to Sylvester McCoy, I can make the attempt here. But, I think a season of Doctor number 9 (the War Doctor to you conformists) would have been infinitely more interesting. The Doctor Warhammered. That would have been a show.

Do you understand the phrase “would have been”? Anyway, the way CGI is going, anyone can be reproduced for any production any way the studio likes, and if you’re dead and can’t complain, all the better. Did you see young Luke Skywalker in The Mandalorian? That was disturbing. Welcome to the new zombie equity. Personally I don’t like it and don’t want to see it. Corporations have too much power over life and death as it is.

Real life is so boring. Maybe that’s why we fight wars. Because real life is so boring.

Summary: Reactionary Central
Text: Anything from the Daily Wire (just a smidge to the left of the Daily Stormer) is a guaranteed do not watch unless you are trying to pretend reality does not exist. The world is changing. There are cowardly people who refuse to accept that society evolves the same as biology, and those people think they have the power to stop the future. Their only weapon is propaganda. Not humor, though. Conservatives just are not good at humor, except for Ron White and he is just a joke on himself. Mr. Birchum is doomed to be a King of the Hill rip-off with none of the kindness, humanity, or personal growth that real human beings are supposed to experience going through real life. The Daily Wire people are fake human beings living in a fake world full of prejudice and bigotry tuned to their agenda. Shows like Mr. Birchum only hold their tiny mentality up to a microscope in a bright light for the rest of us to laugh at. Not with. At. Avoid Mr. Birchum if you have any self respect but especially if you respect other people regardless of how different they are from you. Which is what real human beings should do. I only give it a three because of the effort of the animators.

My father’s cousin was in the Dutch Underground during the Nazi occupation of Holland. I have great sympathy for the Palestinians because I wasn’t raised to be a White Supremacist.

Considering that all humans can trace their roots back to primates that once lived in the Indus River Valley, everybody is microscopically related to everyone else. Particularly since about 50,000 to 75,000 years ago during the last great ice age, the human species was reduced to about 7,500 members worldwide so we are all more related to each other than the blood purists would consider comfortable. We should learn to be one people for once, one of these days.

The worst opinion that anyone ever heard about Israel hardly approaches how bad they actually are. The US will do nothing because Biden is a Zionist and Trump is a Zionist and we are doomed unless we rise up and take the whole system down.

“I’m Joe Biden and I approve this genocide.”

Whenever I write something here [in Youtube] that is patently true about Israel or Biden or Trump or Zionism, Youtube deletes it. Youtube is full of Zionist censors. (I was halfway concerned this would be censored for the word Zionist.)

I receive a very comfortable amount of money each month, live alone in a subsidized apartment, access free medical, dental, optical, and pharmacy care, and I don’t have to work one minute per week for it. I am living the Progressive Dream and all I needed to be is a disabled veteran. The rest of you are pretty much left out. Sorry.

What needs to be taught to all children is that wealth is not something to be worshipped. Regarding wealth alone as the stairway to heaven is how all this misery starts. When one has enough, more is unnecessary. The modern mistake is to think that more is never enough. Wealth becomes a drug with decreasing return on investment. Overdose and collapse is the inevitable result. Gene Roddenberry tried to express this with his United Federation of Planets, but it was never fully and explicitly defined. I think someone wrote a UFP Charter back in the Sixties but I recall reading it and thinking, as a kid, that it was kind of thin on the ground. It also required the invention of unlimited power (utility not political) available to everyone for free. What we could start with is teaching unlimited patience and the folly of greed. True wealth comes from the human mind and human labor. When these are applied generously and received graciously, the world is in balance.

Biden’s legacy is also him being called on to fix problems that he himself created, such as the student debt crisis and the drug user criminalization plague.

But, America’s values and principles are based on the murder of fifty million native people and the enslavement of millions of African people. How is America an example of anything but brutal authoritarian empire founded on racism?

If all the Republicans who are sick and tired of Trump vote for Jill Stein, and if all the Democrats who are sick and tired of Biden vote for Jill Stein, wouldn’t it be amazing if that were just enough to push her over into being elected? Wouldn’t it be wonderful if the people elected a Jewish Socialist as President of the United States? Wouldn’t that just piss off all the corporations? Wouldn’t that be wonderful?

In a world… gone derivative… one man dares to… no, wait… nobody dares to stand out. Everyone has given up. Nothing is new. Everything is repeats, reruns, and sequels. Also plagiarism is the new “inspiration”. Stay home and read a book. There is nothing out in the real world that is safe or entertaining.

It’s funny, in this age of computer graphics, nobody develops a 3D mode, of space pushed out of the way by a planet and squeezed outward, creating gravity as an effect of compressed space. Everybody just uses the stupid 1950s elastic sheet with heavy balls on it. An insulting lack of imagination. Gravity is compressed space. Space is a nonfluid elastic medium. Matter and space are mutually exclusive. Matter pushes space out of the way and space exerts pressure on matter trying to reoccupy the volume and regain its normal density. Until you all accept this as the truth you will completely misunderstand gravity.

I just found the most evil magazine in existence. It is The National Interest, published by the Center for the National Interest which was founded by President Richard Nixon and run by Henry Kissinger until his death, and is now run by someone named Drew Guff.

The past used to be the future. Where were you?

Zionism will be the death of us all.

The human species is failing the “we are not stupid” exam.

It’s just like the auto industry coming out with a whole new crop of incredibly boring cars after decades of bringing out crops of incredibly boring cars, only it’s synthesizers. I have bought everything I am ever going to buy. None of this mean anything to me. My money will be happier in my own bank account.

Everything in the world is built on the lies of those in power and paid for by their victims.

Be comforted by the fact that the rich people who are destroying the climate needed by humans in order to get more mansions and yachts, thinking they can float above it all, are in fact killing themselves in the process. So, way to go, rich people. Die, you stupid sons of bitches. Good riddance.

Zionist Jews fiercely deny that they run the world except when they are too busy doing things that look exactly like everything that needs to be done to run the world.

Faith is the denial of cause and effect. Science is the substantiation of cause and effect. Faith and science are completely contradictory and only science recognizes the inarguable reality of reality. Faith is the enemy of reason and must be dispensed with or it will destroy us.

Beetlejuice coming back makes me happy.

We love until we die, then we don’t love no more.

True love happens in an instant. The whole world suddenly makes sense. Self loathing can destroy true love in an instant, and it did. I think that I thought that when she finds out who I really am, the disappointment in her eyes will kill me. I was too terrified to move.

Can German people not pronounce French words, or do they simply refuse to pronounce French words?

The profit motive is already exterminating the human race. AI would just be icing on that cake.

As with the statements of Republicans in America, Israeli complaints of victimization are actually admissions of guilt.

Israeli defense strategy is to amputate the limb to get rid of a hangnail.

0.00001% of humans ever invent or create anything new. The rest just break things and fix them worse.

Introduce them to genocide, slavery, and colonization, on the receiving end. It’s what humans do. Unless they are more powerful than us, in which case we will get what we deserve, finally.

Youtube censors and deletes any comment that mentions what humans REALLY do when they encounter other people who are weaker than them. Youtube is run by cowards who only serve to protect the corporate status quo. Block all ads.

Fascism is government control of industry, one being the velvet glove and the other the iron fist. When Biden was Senator he engineered the student debt crisis for the benefit of the credit card banks that bankrolled him. Now he is President and is expected to solve the student debt crisis. That he created. Joe Biden is the poster boy for Fascism. Now he states openly he is a Zionist, which basically means the USA is a wing of the Israeli dictatorship. Trump is no better but at least he is swayed by public opinion of he himself which is all he really cares about. I recommend all Republicans and Democrats vote for Jill Stein and totally upset the totalitarian apple cart in which the military/industrial complex is trying to pack us.

What is the difference between an Oberheim TEO-5 and a Sequential Take 5? (Stroking beard and squinting.) 🤔

How could Trump sit there and let his lawyer say that someone else is a better liar than Trump? That seems beyond reality. Donald Trump has a little Muhammad Ali in his head telling him he is the greatest 24/7, only Trump’s little Muhammad is white.

The huckster is always revealed by analysis, but it never eliminates the huckster’s endless supply of ready and willing rubes.

Microsoft is not a monopoly in the strictest sense of the word, but is worth three trillion dollars. Mistakes made by Microsoft can affect three trillion dollars of public welfare. Microsoft is not too big to fail; it is simply too big.

It’s funny how the world throws a hissy fit whenever suicide is the topic, but when it is just giving up and living doing nothing for no reason and waiting for death, that’s all right. But, isn’t using resources and producing nothing worse than suicide? Suicide almost seems productive in comparison. But it’s only suicide that gets the 800 number. Lethargy is just nobody else’s business.

Life sucks until it ends and then the sucking stops.

Little boys with mommy issues blaming their misogyny on other men’s sexuality. Respecting women is anti-male? Fuck you assholes. If the world is this run by teenage boy mentality then I am through. Bye. Still, how many more times is the brain-deadness of gamer males going to be complained about before everyone realizes that there is no cure? Internet males and male gamers are a lost cause. There world is just getting more and more stupid as the machines get more and more intelligent. I don’t fear the AI take-over. I look forward to it. At least something of us will survive.

The Internet is the ultimate worldwide abusive relationship. The world is a Skinner box.

I didn’t think there was a single politician who would have the guts to speak the truth. George Galloway impresses me. Now, six months after October 7, is the world still refusing to listen? No, the world is turning toward reason. I simply can’t fathom Hitchens’s right-wing absolutism. Unless Hitchens is playing the devil’s advocate. Well all know 9/11 was engineered by Saudi Arabia. I never would have taken Hitchens for a populist, but this was twenty years ago when populism took over America.

Never underestimate the stupidity of the public. Just learn to ignore it. The same way the Internet has learned to exploit it. P. T. Barnum lives.

The mistake is thinking that life is supposed to be happy. It never has and never will be. Life is just pure misery and the sooner it’s over the better. Happiness turns out to be a delusion after all.

I have always been a loner so I don’t understand this group mentality that all you aliens go on about.

Men are unnecessary. Two women can conceive through in vitro fertilization. DNA from one egg can fertilize another egg, which will gestate in one woman, and she will give birth to a girl, since there was no Y chromosome. This can be continued indefinitely. The process supports evolutionary mutation which supports survival just as much as heterosexual reproduction. Eventually men will simply die out of old age. What remains will be a planet populated only by women, thus ending the patriarchy.

Actors are ofttimes mistaken for their characters who have thoughts and feelings and adventures of deep import, far flung from reality.

What is the result of multiplying Joe Rogan’s nose with the average fist?

I think Agent Dana Scully has a penny² in her desk drawer, from that time Mulder swapped personality with that Area 51 security guy when the alien powered secret airplane flew overhead and farted out tachyons over everyone.

When the election is between two Zionists, the only result is America becoming a Zionist dictatorship. Thus, there is no democracy. There hasn’t been for over a century. Eisenhower tried to warn us, and he was so afraid that he waited until his last day in office so they wouldn’t assassinate him.

Seven Days In Maybe? Maybe Not

Anti-human cultures create anti-humans.

As long as people ignore other people’s individual rights, our so-called civilization is only headed toward extinction. And will deserve it.

Zionists know they are hated. They don’t care. As long as Uncle Sam keeps giving them guns. We Americans are at fault. We must stop the crimes of our own government. This is on us.

The problem isn’t wealth, but worship of wealth. When wealth stops being a tool and starts being a goal, humanity flies out the window. No one has the right to feed off anyone else, regardless of whether one is poor or rich. Disregarding individual rights is the problem, not the solution. We need to eliminate dog-eat-dog education and learn that everyone-feeds-everyone. Everyone who has a good idea or does a good deed that enriches everyone else makes the world better for everyone. If everyone knew their needs would be met and there would be no struggle to survive, they would be free to be what they dream of being. Right now, the most successful have the ability to crush competition, thus destroying new ideas that could have made the world better, for the sake of retaining useless wealth. If you live in a house that has rooms you have never ever seen, you are on the verge of criminal behavior. This is why money is not the root of all evil. It is the love of money. Teach your children well. We could all make the world better, instead of taking what little there is beyond what is sufficient.

What if our entire universe is just a single firing of a single cylinder in someone’s petrol engine?

So, particular people don’t run the world? Is that supposed to be the message? Somebody has their wires crossed, is the message every time something like this happens.

Humans will only be endangering the rest of the universe by developing interstellar travel. We are a murderous and unruly menace. Fortunately, if we do continue burning fossil fuel at current rates, the runaway chaos of the collapsing environment will exterminate us in a catastrophe of justice.

There are two kind of keyboard players. Those who get laughed at for buying inexpensive keyboards, and those who get laughed at for buying expensive keyboards.

I just read that James Madison said, “If men were angels there would be no need for government.” But, wasn’t it angels who slaughtered all those children in the name of god? Angels are just as psychopathic as humans, without the physical limitations. We need government because people keep conflating religious hypocrisy with decency.

I would emigrate to the October Country if I only had a passport written in eldritch runes.

It’s nice to see the cow getting some fresh air. Months ago I learned that one had to look down from above to see that the cow is symmetrical. Now I just notice that the cow’s pattern is a map of planet Earth. Are we living on a cow? I wish we were.

In a year where Presidential election provides a choice between two Zionists and nothing else, America has become a Zionist dictatorship.

Amazing how this video was posted to Youtube when it was just beginning, before the Google cancer appeared and became terminal. Also, how right George was about nothing changing regardless of how wrong people see it is. Nothing has changed since George Carlin’s day. Nothing has changed since Mark Twain’s day. Nothing has changed since Socrates’s day. The human species does not want to learn, but only to survive by any means necessary. If that involves sacrificing dignity and freedom, then so be it.

What American voters need is the right to a vote of no confidence. We need the ability to vote someone OUT of office, to be able to FIRE politicians, as much as we have the “right” to hire them. Put impeachment into the hands of the people, and take it out of the hands of the politicians. We only allow other politicians to fire politicians? Even George Carlin could not have invented a joke that hilarious.

Any species worth saving would never have invented reality shows.

Only humans have the temerity to look at what has functioned for a billion years and class it as junk. Homocentrism is not the universe’s highest priority.

Efficient for what purpose? Until we completely understand the functioning of genetics, we cannot criticise its perspicacity.

Blue Gene
I just met a girl named Blue Gene –Cyano and the Bacteria

The only prize reality hands out is survival.

What does the imaginary man in your head have to do with anything?

Why are victims adored in modern society? Individuals who refuse to be victimised are ignored. Is weakness an accomplishment now?

It would be more precise to say that Judaism and Zionism are two completely different things. Some Jews are Zionist. Many others are not. Many Christian Evangelists are Zionist. Trump acts Zionist when it suits him. Biden does, too. America is doomed to be a Zionist dictatorship, since one of those two clowns is doomed to be President next year. Our so-called democracy is really no choice at all.

Viscount Oberheim OB-12 should properly be recategorized under the Viscount brand, since it is a Viscount keyboard that was simply branded Oberheim under license from Gibson who bought the brand during proceedings when Oberheim when bankrupt and out of business. I just bought what may be the last Viscount OB-12 priced under $1,000 that anyone will see in a long time. I will always refer to it as the Viscount OB-12 out of deference the old company, and to give the OB-12 an opportunity to stand on its own without comparison to other keyboard to which is is completely unrelated. Stop being petty, people. Keyboards are not what they are to annoy you on purpose. Annoyance is something you invent in your own head.

Our bodily material is just on loan from the rest of the universe.

Politics has always been dirty. Ask Julius Caesar. Ask the Grocci Brothers. Ask Socrates.

A god is a thought in people’s heads, nothing more. There is no evidence otherwise. The difference between sanity and lunacy is in not being able to tell the difference.

The Republican Party has become the go-to destination for all of America’s assholes.

Hell is heaven for interesting people.

I would like to see an order of monks who purge sins through flatulation. A lot of things can be purged that way, and entertainingly. Beans and broccoli for the Lord.

I think the Israeli leadership and their supporters are very good at lying to themselves and their people but very bad at lying to the rest of the world. Zionism is racist apartheid and it will fail. If Israel is to survive the people must choose another path. World dominion is not Israel’s destiny.

I accept reality because it is all there is. I reject reality because it is all there is.

Economics 101: The purpose of the corporation is to increase the par value of the common stock.
That’s it. Nothing else.
Meaning: if you stand between a corporation and its profits, then just stand still. This will only hurt for a second.

Business is based on lies. Every day is a gamble that today’s lies will work. “There’s one born every minute.” –P. T. Barnum

Killing is wrong only when there is no money in it for those who uphold the law.

You discover the deeply hidden secret. Everyone in the Daily Wire has ABSOLUTELY NO TALENT AND FAILED EVERYWHERE ELSE. LOSERS. The Daily Wire are just a bunch of Zionist bigots with a terminal sense of entitlement.

The USA was founded on genocide and slavery. Israel was founded on genocide and slavery. Australia was founded on genocide and slavery. Every country in South America was founded on genocide and slavery. Wait. i think I see a pattern here. Location, location, location.

Thomas Jefferson was going to outlaw slavery in the Constitution, but he was urged against it by Richard Henry Lee (of the first family of the first colony of Virginia!) along with everyone else in the room who owned slaves. Slavery could have ended in 1789. Not ending slavery is the American Way.

I just had a thought. I think Chad is afraid of me, ever since I put EAT THE RICH in the window to annoy the millionaire sport car club across the street. BTW, the car club moved to the other end of the street so no more Sunday noise, yay.

The whole human race is insane.

The cloud is where you give your life’s information away for free to corporations so they can make billions more dollars while you get poor and die.

The Capital Feudal System is dying and it is determined to kill all of us and take us with it.

100% of news around the world: the bad guys are winning everything. They’re in charge of your country and say they are on your side, but they are only there to dominate and control you. Welcome to hell.

Send Netanyahu to Spandau. Make him dance.

Trump’s birthday should be officially marked as a national day of shame.

Why is there so little sanity left? Why is the rest of the world going mad? These are usually questions that directly precede a world war. It makes no sense, for the pride and arrogance of a handful of ambitious men to destroy the future of everyone. The human race is mad.

Always remember, you don’t matter.

Not voting is the only vote of no confidence that Americans have.

Youtube is show-and-tell for the whole planet.

Wealth is the goal of being able to use others to death without being used to death.

There seem to be two kinds of people that I have seen. There are those who tear their hearts out over injustices that, in the end, they can’t really change. And there are those who just don’t give a damn over injustices that that they can’t really change even if they wanted to. Who is right? Anyone? No one?

Our species survives because we murder each oother. Our descendants will be terrifying. I pity the universe.

Life is horrible. Life is wonderful. Life is everything. Death is nothing. That is all.

Effectively treating the symptoms precludes any need to cure the illness. The symptoms never go away and neither do the sales.

We are settlers, and we are going to settle in this place where other people already live whether they like it or not. If they dislike it in a way that inconveniences us, we will kill them, unless someone is looking, and then we will make them sign a treaty to move away to places unfit for human habitation. That’s fair, isn’t it?

The main thing I took away from The Fall is that Ireland itself is only one temper tantrum away from becoming a nation of serial killers.

Do not believe for one second that anything will change as long as the corporations remain in power. Until the corporations are gone, literally erased, the apartheid America in which we all live will still be the apartheid America of tomorrow. (Youtube continues to delete statements like this.)

Ask a black person if they feel equal in America. If you think American apartheid is done, then you are a master at lying to yourself. Now, go ask any member of any of the original tribes whose land this was before white people arrived.

I don’t quite understand gay pride. There’s no straight pride that I know of. Some straight arrogance, yes. Arrogant gay people, too. No monopoly there. Most straight people usually seem to be put out about sex, glum about it, even angry or sad, but rarely proud. What, exactly, are gay people trying to be proud of? The mechanics of it? Being stuck with it? Straight people are stuck being straight. No reason for pride there. “I’m proud that I can have a dick in my ass.” Sorry, doesn’t quite pan out. Why not aim for something more realistic, like just being ignored in general and left to one’s own business? Is it really necessary to push one’s sexuality in everyone else’s face? I don’t like it when others do that and I don’t do it, so why promote it? I just can’t figure out any reason for being proud of some unnecessary bodily function. Might as well be proud of a stuffy nose or the ability to digest food. Trying to make other people celebrate something that they would rather not acknowledge does not work.

Today, Gaza. Tomorrow, the world.

I have lost everything I ever had. Now, I have everything I ever wanted. Except, I have lost the ability to want anything. I do not know where to go from here.

Wouldn’t it be amazing if everyone who was sick and tired of the lies of Joe Biden and Donald Trump all got together and accidentally elected Jill Stein to be President of the United States, in an event worthy of Putney Swope? As an atheist in long standing, I would consider that a sign from god.

In the beginning, there were only mainframe computers and user terminals, and software was included in the lease or leased separately. Then the personal computer arrived, and software license could be purchased and the copy of the software media owned outright. Then, the cloud was invented. The cloud is just somebody else’s computer somewhere else and it is called a server. We have returned to the age of the computer owned by someone else and the software leased by you. Why get paid once when you can get paid every month forever? Rebel against this, citizens. Are you cash cows?

We are doomed if the only thing that stands between America and GOP dictatorship is an election.

Do not trust the police nor the politicians. They work for the rich.

In this age of podcasting and video calls, why has no one thought of putting a pinhole camera in the center of a video screen so that people can speak while looking directly at each other’s images as in real life? Where is the innovation that these humans are supposed to be famous for?

The Kennedys refused to let Israel have atomic weapons, and you saw what happened to the Kennedys. A song as old as time, Nakba for the world. Today, Gaza. Tomorrow, the world. A choice between two Zionists for President is not democratic. It’s The Handmaid’s Tale. US police departments are turning into brown shirt police departments. The Zionist States of America.

Someone should tell everyone that every single thing that happens changes history. It’s kind of how time works. The significance of individual events does not need to be inflated to garner appreciation.

So, the future of the synthesizer is… the elimination of the case? I’m seeing a lot of bare circuit boards being offered as finished product these days. Kind of an allegory for the US education system. Well, the US anything, really. Just barely enough to get by and be happy with it. Circuit boards are fragile. They are not meant to be the outside of the product. If it implies one is supposed to supply one’s own case, well, that has been a booming cottage industry for decades, no? No, actually not. Most people would not know how to acquire or make a case if their life depended on it. They would probably punch some holes in a corrugated box and duck tape the circuit board into it. This is another trend that will end in tears.
Yes, it is a hobby board for hands on sort of people. It just makes it more puzzling as to why it is publicized along with all the pret a porter. And the design seems completely like an Arturia Origin. Will it succeed this time?

Israel is Keyser Söze. They are more than willing to kill their own to prove they will not be pushed around.

Starbuck’s is OK if you like paying $80 per pound for coffee.

Which is worse, bad acting, intentionally bad acting, or bad intentionally bad acting?

Used to be people depended on each other for entertainment. Amusement had to come from those around them. Now entertainment is endless and it comes from no one in particular. There does not seem to be anything that is going to succeed it. Maybe this is the end. Maybe this is the way it will las forever.

From now on, everything Republicans say is a lie. Republicans are completely bankrupt of thought and ethics.

It was all so much simpler when Eddie Izzard was a simply a male Lesbian. Why must people so needlessly complicate things? Also, why was there none of this cultural angst when Renee Richards and Wendy Carlos were news? The Right are being boneheads and the Left are also being boneheads for not defending their intentions. There is an inside and an outside and sometimes they don’t match. What is the big deal?

Sometimes I think I could just pound my own head with hammers until I die, for all the things I have done wrong, but there would not be any point in that because it would just be another wrong thing.

Ordinary gravity is repulsive. Gravity is compressed space. Matter and space are mutually exclusive. Space is an elastic nonfluid medium. Matter pushes space out of the way. Gravity is space trying to push back in to occupy the volume. Think of a block of gelatin with a ball inserted. As the space pushes inward toward the body of matter, it pushes unrelated matter inward as well. This is also how clumping works. Gravity is not a force of attraction. There are no attractive forces, only repulsive.

I think Biden is pro-Zion because he remembers what happened to the last Catholic President.

Just like in the United States, where Americans get to choose one of two candidates approved by the corporations to sit in the Oval Office.

We are alive because we are. We die because we do. There is no mystery.

A.I. being the easier future is one of those corporate lies that everyone is swallowing, just like lemmings jumping off a cliff. Lemmings don’t do that. That was a lie invented by a filmmaker who was terrified of disappointing Walt Disney. To be terrified of a corporation is some kind of hell.

Space is big and we are small and I do not understand why we spend so much time making each other miserable.

It may be a hundred thousand years before the human race is finally civilized. We’ll get there.

Destructing? You mean disturbing? In the previous video you said Toys’R’Us’s new advertisement was “goalish” when I think you meant ghoulish. Youna, you need to have someone watch your videos and correct this stuff ahead of time. Where is your editor? As for this video, yes, people of this diminished mental capacity should be in treatment. But, people like him are just obvious. The danger is in the Jeffrey Epsteins of the world who turn child abuse into a billion dollar business. No one is talking about Epstein any more. The corporations don’t want him mentioned. Mainly because Epstein wasn’t just trafficking girls; he was collecting blackmail on all the rich and powerful perverts in the world and handing it to Mossad. Guys like this poor schizophrenic here are a dime a dozen. They need help but they won’t get it as long as the Pentagon gets a trillion dollars a year to drop bombs on brown people.

A.I. is not taking over people’s jobs. Other people’s greed is taking over their minds, and they are eliminating other working people in favor of pieces of software that don’t work. It’s like eliminating all cab drivers with self driving cars that 90% of the time drive into the front of buildings. This will all end in tears. The ones doing all the eliminating will be the next to go and then it will be a mess trying to put everything back together. Think of the housing bubble only planetary. We did this to ourselves. We think we are smart but we are not. We are still stupid apes.

Evolver has become another really good synthesizer that is being priced only for collectors and dilettantes. Pity. The world used to care about music. Now it only cares about the grubsteak. The funny irony is, when software is given all the music and art jobs, then no one will be buying hardware at all any more, and none of this stuff will be worth the powder it will take to blow it up. We do it to ourselves. Enough is never enough for greedy little apes.

Never state publicly that you are an authority on anything without having a decent lawyer on retainer.

It is better to be forgotten. That way there will be no idiots completely misunderstanding everything you had to say.

In a world built on averages, the exceptional must be exceptionally so to survive.

Teachers are secretly trained to pick out the telepathic kids and to crush their individuality as early as possible so they won’t be a threat to the normals.

Vichy water is back? Great! Just in time for the Nazi take-over of the Earth.

Our civilization is ending. Most of you will die. Get used to it.

Mr. President,
Thanks to the Supreme Court, you, Joe Biden, can issue an Executive Order denying the ability of anyone to run for the Office of President of the United States who has been convicted of a Felony. It is within your power, and no one, not even the Supreme Court itself, can stand in your way. If you do not do this, it will only be clear that you do not have the interests of all the American people at heart. You can end Donald Trump’s agenda with a simple signature. You have been given this power. Why not use it? Please. As the man says, do the right thing.

Good Times was a live show in the 1970s, a spin-off of Maude, which was a spin-off of All In The Family. All produced by Norman Lear, who also produced this cartoon. If anything, Boondocks is a cynical satire of the optimism of post-Nixon America, when people thought talking about problems would lead to solutions. Before Reagan destroyed the world.

Youtube/Google are stupidly and intentionally becoming a useless pile of shit. Like white washing Times Square and filling it with Mickey Mouse made New York more livable. Marketeers are why the world we need to live in is dissolving and become inhospitable.

Lewis Black once suggested that we in America can scare the bejeezus out of our enemies… our death-loving suicide-bombing enemies… that we roll out Ronald Reagan’s corpse, dust him off, and elect him President again. “You want to kill yourselves to kill us? WE ELECTED A DEAD GUY!” Maybe the corporate AI entities running the world took him seriously.
Kamala Harris did use the word genocide in context, so that is a welcome departure. She is Black, she is NOT a Zionist, Trump and Israel hate her, thus she SHOULD BE ELECTED. We’ll worry about her breaking laws to protect the Archdiocese later, when we’re safely in harbor.

Is there some mental disorder that requires people to lust after yelling FIRST! regardless of the lack of quality? A generation descends into madness.

You have Off The Air episodes available, thank you, but about half of them are blocked by a paywall. You say the episodes are free, but just because Cartoon Network is not collecting any money does not mean there is no paywall. You are requiring proof of subscription to some cable network, which costs money. I do not subscribe to any cable television, so I cannot watch those episodes. Thus, they are not free. You are lying. Cartoon Network is pimping for the cable companies. How does it feel to be a lying pimp, Adult Swim? I have no respect for you.

The corporations want all personal property destroyed so that all possessions will need to be rented and paid for month after month after month, and be immediately seized and repossessed if payment becomes unfeasible. In the future all people will work and work and work from the day they are born to the day they die in order to fulfill the single purpose of shovelling money into the gaping maw of the corporation. Those who do not work can die.

Spirit of States of Matter, more precisely. Liquid, solid, gas, and plasma are states of matter. The number and composition of elements turned out to be away higher than our simple ancestors assumed. They were right about what matter could be, just not what it was fundamentally.

I had a chance to have a PDP-11 complete system for free, but I had nowhere to put it and no way to get it there. People talk about being in the right place at the right time. Being in the wrong place at the wrong time will haunt you for the rest of your life.

I have three Behringer RX1602 rack mixers (the only Behringer equipment I will ever buy) and a Kawai MX-16 analog mixer for 61 channels, each with HML and gain (three channels used for chaining the mixers) going into a Presonus Studio 26c. Two eMagic AMT8 for MIDI. Connecting to Apple is not cheap, as everyone knows that Apple is designed to break and not be repairable, so that even a tiny problem requires replacing the entire guts for nearly the cost of a new machine, and Apple fan bois love it because their favorite hobby is being sodomized by the ghost of Steve Jobs.

America claims all the oil and America gets what it wants. Support America or prepare to die. Democracy? Democracy is an advertisement. Democracy is a half-time show. Democracy is for billionaires, because billionaires can afford the most votes. It doesn’t matter who you vote for. It matters who you finance. You have no money? You have no opinion.

If you say anything in favor in Pasestinians you are immeditately branded antisemitic and fired and you can’t get a job anywhere. It’s true. Jews run the world. Most Jews are against that. A few are spoiling it for everyone. Zionism is Nazism for Jews.

Netanyahu’s assassination of Rabin was the death knell for Israel and any hope of a plainly survivable future.

Israelis think the world exists to serve Israel. Fools. Israel exists as a tool of the oil companies. When they no longer need it, Israel will be fed to the dogs.

In Twitch 43,500 people are watching someone sort bags of crisps by superiority of some kind. Every other human activity is on the wane but social media participation is on the rise. Our civilization is ending our species will die. Can’t wait.

Imagine if Catholicism said that all Catholics had to live in the Vatican. First of all, they would not fit. Zionism is just mental.

There once was a girl with a bush
With fullness and fragrance so lush
That she rode around bottomless
On her pet hippopotamus
So the world could admire her tush

It has to be an independent production. Nobody in Hollywood would produce something with such obviously low box office. Even Republicans are getting tired of the crap, and of Trump. I wouldn’t be surprised if Biden wins by a landslide. Why? Because he is feeble? No, because he appears harmless, in comparison to Trump who is a clear and present threat. Never pay attention to polls. Biden will get 60% to 70% of the popular vote because everyone can imagine the other kind of future. America would not voluntarily elect Hitler.

What is wrong with the world that celebrating the worthless is seen as an act of courageous rebellion? Or is it just Mel Brooks’s definition of comedy?

Listening to pop music is like having cotton candy for supper.

Every Marvel movie is instantly forgettable. They would like you to forget that fact as well.

There are millions of Americans who are working three jobs just to pay the bills and can’t afford a stay in the hospital, while 99% of the country costs too much for the lower 50% to live there, but there are people selling a $335 self cleaning cat little box. That is what is wrong with society.

In Firefox in Windows 10, Privacy Essentials blocks Youtube linked videos in referrer web sites, such as illwillpress[.]com and matrixsynth[.]com. When selecting a video, the wait loading spinner runs forever. Protections must be turned off for the video to immediately be shown as expected. There is no warning of any suspected threat. This appears to be a blanket overly aggressive application of security. [Trying to post this multiple times in r/duckduckgo fails with no specific error. Tired of trying later. Their loss.]

Biden is OK. He’s a bastard but he’s OK. He’s not a lunatic like Trump. Defintely the lesser of two evils. The country can live with that.

The ADO video shows that Japan has legitemized the boot sale by enrolling it directly into the economy as the pop-up store.

At this point, I fully expect to be able to stand at my window and see buildings burning in tht distance, to hear and see people yelling in the street, police everywhere, litter strewn about, and no one in control of anything. I am expecting my country to fail utterly and there is nothing I can do about it.

We used to get 26 episodes of Doctor Who every year (the first few seasons brought over forty episodes each). Half an hour every week. Thirteen hours of the Doctor every year. Now there are only eight episodes each year. Eight hours. One half the amount of drama (considering the addition of advertising), and I will bet it costs three times as much. There has been no improvement and much degradation. Doctor Who has not gotten fifteen times better over the decades. They really need someone who knows how to write cracking drama. I might not even mind that this latest Doctor weeps so copiously, if only the stories had some real substance.

I feel sad for everything that dies. I feel sad for everything that lives. My punishment for not saving the ones I love is to go on living.

I laugh when people recognize that Scientology is not a real religion. What is a real religion? All religion is fake.

Joe Rogan is not David Susskind in any version of reality, but he thinks he can be. In his way, Rogan is as bad as Howard. He is not a journalist. He is a personality looking for popularity. The truth only serves his purpose of self glorification and gratification.

Terence Howard does not understand the difference between distance and area. He can’t see that one dimension and two dimensions are completely different. Check your premises. One of them is wrong. (Ayn Rand)

When I type ‘so what’ into Youtube I get a hundred pages of pretentious music from rich bastards.

Missing Trump was like all those times they missed Hitler. Everybody else pays for someone’s incompetence.

According to ICD10Data.com, “Struck by raccoon” is an official medical diagnosis.

As I listen to ambient music, and drift into a narcoleptic coma, my mind realizes, not for the first time, nor for the last, how much I miss prog rock.

Even cockroaches have emotion. Anything with emotion has meaning.

Watch “The President’s Analyst” a film from 1967 starring James Coburn, perhaps the most important film of the 20th Century. Brain chips indeed. Also, read Norman Spinrad’s novel “Little Heroes.” More brain chips! Or brain crisps, if you are a clockwork orange. Also also, get an OCZ nia brainwave to computer unit on eBay when one is available. Don’t be left out. No surgery required. Hey, Cody, no mention of “Surrogates”?

Gee, it’s almost… The Four Seasons by Antonio Vivaldi… NOT. I am so sick of random ambiance foisted off as music. It’s electronic tavern Muzak.

Forced arbitration is the privatization of law, the end of judges and juries, the end of evidence discovery, and the end of legal rights. It is the protection of corporate control of your life. You say that isn’t a big deal? You have no respect for your own freedom.

No one is openly saying that the Republicans are dismantling American democracy exactly the way Hitler dismantled German democracy in the 1930s. If Trump wins in November, America becomes the Fourth Reich. The only thing that can lead to is World War III. This election will decide whether life on Earth continues or ends. This is not an exaggeration. It is historical precedent.

I always had neat things that my friends and stupid relatives would break for fun. I no longer have friends or stupid relatives. My neat things are safe.

Welcome to the N.H.K. is like my life, only more social and less miserable.

Marriage is one of two things: either a legal contract of mutual support, or permission to fuck. More evidence of the insanity of the human species.

Men built a world that women don’t need. Women could build a world that doesn’t need men.

It doesn’t matter what Trump does. 2025: World War III. End of the world. It doesn’t matter.

Trump’s followers think of Jesus as their king. They don’t want democracy. They want to be obedient servants and not to have to think or take responsibility for their actions. They dream of being minions, lambs. The last thing they want to remember is the slaughter at the end. We can’t fight that. We can only hope that there are more of us than there are of them.

You know what? I quit. Take it. Take it over. I don’t give shit. Destroy the world. I no longer give a fuck. You want everyone to not care so you can play at being god? Be my guest. I no longer care. It is not worth the struggle. Go on. Have fun sitting in the wreckage as you blame everyone else for what you make. I’ll end up dead no matter what happens and that suits me just fine. No more worries. That’s the sense that reality makes to me.

The real me is only visible when no one else is around. Everything else is an act.

Pictures At An Exhibition is brilliant. Beethoven’s 9th Symphony is brilliant. Pop music is not brilliant. Pop music is hay for horses.

Donald Trump’s continued existence is only proof that there is no god.

Why struggle to stay alive just so you can struggle to stay alive? What’s the point? I don’t get it.

Linux is brilliant in corporate server environments. It is good for individuals who do little more than email and browse the web. For professional individual computer use with high end modern hardware, Linux sucks. Either some of the hardware must be left unusable, or only a restricted set of hardware may be used, and only a restricted set of software may be used. Either way the user must attain a level of server management of which most people are incapable.

Disco ended the Progressive Rock era, and Punk ended the Disco era. Every genre of music gives rise to the steaming pile of garbage that signals its end. If I could travel in time I would go back and terminate Disco.

I lived a bad stupid wasted life and I was too stupid and weak to do anything about it. I failed. end of story

Science is how we play the biggest videogame of them all: the Universe.

The unwritten rule is that cops don’t defend the law, they defend the rich. The law exists to protect the rich from the poor. Part of that rule is never admitting that publicly.

Modern music has less imagination than an oscillating electric fan and none of the coolness.

White people are the ones who are always doing the replacing, and always whining about it never being enough. Every accusation is a confession, as many have said.

T-shirt companies show the true mercenary spirit of America. They will gleefully take money from both sides of the political spectrum for shirts that allow each side to openly display the most vile opinions of their opponents. Profit through hatred is the American way and companies dealing in the most overpriced of clothing live there.

Tomorrow is the today that never was.

Is it better to die eating or to live hungry?

A pale mimeograph of the original film. Why was this picture even made? I can understand Brooks wanting to bring The Producers to the stage. It was a lifelong ambition. That he was able to find talent in this day and age to approximate the originals is surprising. But, was it necessary to remake the film? No. A resounding no. Nathan Lane is not Zero Mostel. Matthew Broderick is no Gene Wilder. This 2005 fair attempt becomes a travesty in comparison with one of the greatest films of the 20th Century. This film is but a pale mimeograph of the original, a work the likes of which I do not expect to see repeated in my lifetime. Remaking The Producers on film is like remaking Citizen Kane or 2001:A Space Odyssey. The though almost verges on blasphemy. If this 2005 outing were better than the original it might be forgiven but it is, as someone once said of the Coburn “Flint” films, road-show James Bond (an unearned comparison; the Flint films are marvelous; oh, and Derek Flint was not a rapist). The Producers (2005) is road-show Mel Brooks. The whole production should have been left on the stage where it was intended. All admirable talent, but wasted on a Sisyfusian effort to outshine perfection that was achieved in 1967 and shall never be eclipsed. This is Brooks’s moment of hubris. He thought he could outdo himself, or find a new audience in a new age. One last hurrah, I suppose. If only he had not made this film. Everything would have been all right. Now it exists forever, a mentally disabled sibling living in the shadow of the supremely accomplished elder statesman. I like the actors, I like the way they played the characters; they were the best choices anyone could make. But taking it from stage to screen is just an insult to the irreplaceable. I cannot watch the entire film. I do not want to experience another bleeding ulcer. If you like The Producers (2005) all well and good. Do not watch the original, then. That’s all the warning I can give you.

I would also recommend voting for Jill Stein IF she could jump from 2% of the vote to 52% in one election cycle. Since we know that is not going to happen, the only realistic choice is either stay home (vote of no confidence in a country that does not have votes of no confidence) or vote for Harris and hope for the best. Voting for Trump is just begging for the Apocalypse. The two-party system will continue as long as we allow the corporations to remain in power. We must economically disenfranchise them, or just storm the Bastille and tear down the headquarters. Either way, folks are going to have to give up their gadgets and gewgaws along with the economy of consumerism. If you aren’t willing to do that, and I mean a vast majority of Americans, then it just is not going to happen.

I find myself wishing that Games Workshop would go out of business so that Bruva Alfabusa could complete “If the Emperor Had a Text to Speech Device”.

Japanese anime theme songs have absolutely nothing to do with the anime. They are invariably catchy pop tunes about hope and achievement with no reference to anything in particular. Any theme song can be switched with any other and change nothing about the anime. There is no commitment to anything. Existence is beige in Japan.

My power bill has increased to five times what it was when I moved in here seven years ago. At this rate the American people are going to have to overthrow the government and nationalize everything.

You should try a Hoover in a Supernova II with 48 voices. I did that once and vaporized a Ford Bronco.

If someone like J. D. Vance has negative popularity, does that mean that no one living is supporting him? Is that verification that hard right Republicans are actually dead ghouls?

In a jaded world, those with purity and talent will always be blamed for the self loathing felt by the corrupt and untalented.

I predict that no one in the developed world will know how to read or write by the 22nd Century. F 451.

The opioid pharmaceutical makers and their pushers should all be put to death for the simple crime of robbing the world of Heath Ledger. And all those hundreds of thousands of other people they murdered for fun and profit. Kill the CEOs. Kill them before they kill us.

The insane always believe their insanity is their clarity.

History books are nothing more than sales brochures published by all the past failed dictatorships. Everything we know about the past is advertising to promote the agenda of the winners. Things never “used to be better”. Things are ever only better for the rich. The rest of us muck about in misery and get fed lies. History is a confabulation of contradictiory falsehood designed to confuse and pacify. Unless we willingly throw off the yoke of consumerism we are doomed to repeat it forever. Or until there is no dry land to inhabit.

What if time is also three dimensions? Past, present, and future. It would mean we live in six dimensions.

The five needs are air, sleep, water, food, and shelter. Sex is not a need, but a compulsion, and therefor better off ignored.

America the pyramid scheme.

Why is “professional” wrestling a thing? Why was it ever a thing? What is wrong with the human mind?

Corporate executives think they are safe, but as has been proven recently, even Trump is not safe. Good.

What the fuck is wrong with the psychiatric community that renaming things with ever more syllables is considered progress? These people are assholes.

Pain and disappointment do not make your grow. They just make you feel old.

Good things come to those who wait? So do bad things. Patience is not a virtue. It is only a tool.

Americans in general are recognizing that the core Republican Party have become a collection of batshit insane assholes who will destroy the country and turn America into a prison for their enemies which will be the rest of us.

Walz and Kamala. Walz and Kamala. Come vote for Walz and Kamala with me. And they tried as they cried out against the MAGA genocide. Come vote for Walz and Kamala with me.

I walked away from Omelas. I’m still walking.

Arrogant narcissists always gang together looking for mutual approval. They each have Daddy issues that will never be resolved. This always makes them a threat to society. They will always blame outside influence for their circumstance.

I just saw John Oliver’s New York Stand Up Show for the first time and was surprised to see him not in a suit. He looks like the John Lennon of comedy. Then, I realized I could not recall John Lennon ever smiling. John Oliver smiles. I looked at pictured of John Lennon and discovered he only had two facial expressions: dour and creepy. He did smile, but it was not the relax-they’ll-get-the-elevator-going-soon kind of smile. There were spiders in there.

MAGA heads would rather elect a white crook than a black crimefighter. Some people learn nothing in 10,000 years.

We died of shortsightedness. We killed ourselves with a lack of imagination.

What everyone calls reality and truth is fiction, a delusion. Reality is the nightmare of every fear and terror that are actually what occur all around us all the time. Molested children, raped women, murders, assaults, war, robbery, fraud, lies, cheating, and scandals. Everyone’s view of reality is a rosy delusion to keep from facing the insanity of reality that would madden all of us. The lie of our internal reality is the truth that sets us free from fear.

Imagine a world so boring that people buy computers and lease internet service so they can watch other people drive down the road or watch people play video games, or have typed conversations with strangers about nothing in particular. That is Earth. Who thought Earth would ever get that boring? Seriously.

Infinity is always right in front of you. You can’t ignore it. The endless possibilities. Death is the only escape.

Breakdancing is now an Olympic sport. Stop the world. I want to get off.

Posting on the Internet is literally the new version of tje tjro;; pf writing on the bathroom stall. It is an unwanted and unwarranted opinion directed at no one and everyone for the express intent of declaring one’s freedom to annoy. The Internet is a toilet stall.

I have come to wonder why anyone would want to sound like a pop band, generally or in particular, when pop bands come and go. There are kids today who have never heard of Van Halen and never will. They have also never heard of Mozart. Which will people be listening to five hundred years from now? And this is just white European people’s music. Is it artistry people seek, or nostalgia? Nobody is getting any younger.

Korg Poly 800 is the Ford Pinto of analog synthesizers.

You know what’s interesting? If the air temperature is higher than your body temperature, and the dew point humidity is high enough that water will not evaporate off of your skin, you are going to die. The human threshold for survival is very narrow, but people rarely spend any time out of the day considering it. If one considers only air and water, we are all just minutes and days away from death continuously. Animals in the wild are always aware of this. Humans have built a civilization on hiding these facts for their own sense of security. Most humans are completely unprepared for the worst that can happen. It always does.

The only way to move forward is not to stand still.

Political commentary: much ado about nothing I can do anything about.

Americans don’t have to experience what we inflict on others. Perhaps we should.

The belief that it is acceptible to kill other people to obtain one’s goals is the root of all evil.

Always kill the king first.

All around the world people are killing and raping and robbing each other, while all the corporations want us to do is spend money on their lies. The pinnacle of evolution, right?

There are too many anti-intellectual teachers. They have to be rooted out.

The police are clearly under orders to shoot us dead if we disobey the authorities. What more evidence do you need that America is a police state?

If all of the wealthy countries lowered their standard of living by fifty percent, then all the rest could raise theirs by a thousand percent. But that, as Jon Stewart put it, would set off the “they’re coming for our shit” alarm of all the white people. The human species is not adapted for survival but only for self extinction.

Those who refuse to learn have earned their ignorance.

“Texas hair”? Who writes this shit?

I block advertising and have not steadily watched advertisements for fifteen to twenty years, because I hate being told lies. I will use whatever tools are at my disposal to block lies heading my way.

Socrates is one of the first documented victims of political correctness. How many dead under the heel of populism?

The male view is the most destructive force in the world.

To the Doctor, the Dalek said, “You would make a very good Dalek.”
To the Israelis, the world says, “You would make very good Nazis.”

The world needs a virus that will exterminate all white poeple. Otherwise, the human species and probably all life on Earth is doomed. White people ARE the danger.

I would be happy to vote Democrat this coming November if the US would stop supplying Israel with weapons. Any and all other kind of support is completely accepable. Israel already has more than enough weapons to secure their defense, including the nuclear bombs supplied by the US in 1967. Israel needs to learn to stop wasting their defense on a monstrous genocide. The US needs to learn to stop being a stupid dupe. That is the responsibility of the President.

Israel is USA’s Guernica, which everyone knows already, even the liars who would deny it. A real world real time weapons testing laboratory with test subjects that either side consider sub human. The military/industrial complex exercising its full right of control over the police state. Democracy? We don’ need no steenkin’ democracy.

The US loves preventing criticism of corporations the way Giedi Prime loves preventing criticism of Baron Harkonnen.

Israel is the Palestinians’ Airstrip One. It’s 2024 and it’s 1984 all over again.

Greetings,
This is not a complaint, simply an informational inquiry. When substitutions are made, sometimes the substitute is exactly the same as the unavailable product. For instance, in my recent order, one brand of canned Mandarin oranges was substituted for another brand. The Shop-Rite Dutch Apple Pies I ordered were not available, so they were substituted with Shop-Rite Dutch Apple Pies. There have been other instances of things being substituted for exactly the same thing. I find this confusing in a bizarro universe kind of way. Again, this isn’t a complaint. I am simply wondering why the exact same thing (at least on paper) should be considered a substitution. I asked the delivery person but he had no explanation. Above his pay grade, I assume. I am writing because I do not want to waste your manager’s time with a telephone call, and this is not an important issue. It’s just kind of driving me a little nuts. Thanks for your time.

Your Bowl & Basket Chunky Chocolate Chip Cookies are the best packaged chocolate chip cookies I have ever eaten, and I’ve been eating chocolate chip cookies for over sixty years. The texture, consistency, firmness, and amount of chip is just perfect. Please, do not ever change the recipe. I feel as if my faith in humanity has been a smidge renewed. Thank you.

E-sport college scholarships? I was kind of feeling good about reality until I just heard about that from Lunalyrik on Twitch. Yet another way for corporations to exploit people for financial gain while offering little to nothing in return. A scholarship literally means nothing. Plunk one student out of a hundred into a chair in a class that would still go on whether that student is there or not. It costs a university nothing to provide a scholarhip. Literally nothing. But if they can get that student into a team event that attracts huge deep pocket sponsors, the school can make millions. The students gets none of that, only what every other student is getting. Scholarships are a total scam. They only exist to exploit people for their already existing talent, or their economic status or skin color or race or religion just to make the school look better in news reports. I still can’t rationalize video games as a spectator “sport”. My brain refuses to accept it. How empty and vapid is your life that you are watching other people play a game instead of playing that game? It’s like watching other people work. And there are job simulator games, and people watch other people play job simulators. Watching other people play pretend working. Human civilization is dying. We are doomesd. It’s the end. Children are not even being taught how to write their own name any more. Idiocracy is complete. The movie is the reality. It’s over. EOL

If life made sense it wouldn’t be nearly as much fun.

The rich are rich because they have figured out how to get money from people who aren’t rich but wish they were. The rich people say “Give me some of your money and I will help you feel rich.” And they do, and maybe they do feel that way for a while but it never lasts, and they have to do it again, and again, and they keep doing it until the day they die. Rich people exist because poor people never learn. Stop giving your money to rich people. Stop buying useless shit you don’t need. You may never be rich but at least you won’t be poor.

The government is the primary source of Dooh Nibor Syndrome. They rob from the poor and give to the rich minus ten per cent for handling.

I want to see a Charmin commercial with the Pope in the woods.

The author of this article misunderstands Trey and Stone completely. It is not a drug named after Lizzo, but Lizzo herself that the doctor is prescribing. The only legal alternative to using a diabetes drug to lose weight is to listen to Lizzo albums. Of course, since the South Park episode, apparently the FDA has approved Ozempic for weight loss because somebody came up with enough bribe money, which is the historic way of changing food and drug regulations. Thank you, corrupt human nature. Let’s hear it for the worship of wealth and how it makes everything better.

If the US way of life is so great, why haven’t everybody on Earth adopted it? Or, is it that if there weren’t less powerful people to feed from, there wouldn’t be any wealth to accumulate? The system by its nature cannot work for everyone. There must be those who are exploited or the system collapses.

Somewhere between childhood and inanity.

If there is a god then that god is having a good laugh.

Normal is boring. Normal is like white noise all the time. I want Beethoven all the time.

If the world were reduced to only those who could survive on their own and flourish, then 99% of the world would become extinct. Perhaps that is the true meaning of the phrase excess population.

The John Wick movies are vacuous style spread over negligible substance. Eight hours and forty minutes of protracted boredom. As boring as watching other people play video games in Twitch. The films have all the emotional depth of a pinball table. Psychopaths who enjoy watching people murder each other are the audience for John Wick movies. John Wick’s story could only occur in an alternate universe that never invented police or representative government. John Wick is science fantasy of the lowest order.

Literature exists because the writer’s daydreams are more entertaining than those of the average reader, who is willing to fork over hard earned lucre for something better than the boredom inside their own skull. What the writer receives in return is survival to share more in what feels like a personal violation of a solemn gift. Someone is being short changed and it is not the proletariat.

Jon Stewart is the most brilliant mind in public discourse since Mark Twain.

Should not feeling guilty over other people’s past crimes be a sign of poor character? Considering the nature of human brutality, practically every square inch of planet Earth is a murder scene. Is it wrong not to feel guilty over that? One can either let past actions constrict one’s attitude, or let one’s attitude navigate the future. Choose wisely.

Is that all youngsters do these days? Listen to sequences all day long? What happened to meaning? May as well listen to the BBC time code signal 24/7. Not with a bang but a whimper.

Everything is boring and simplistic and inadequate now. Maybe, I have gone beyond everything.

Trump supporters all have below average IQ. Or, they are simply in it for the racism.

I find almost everything boring now, except for music and Fringe. It’s a funny old world, isn’t it?

Who decided that it would be humorous to depict professional athletes as if they have something witty to say in advertisements? That person needs to be publicly flogged and left in the stocks for people with excess rotten vegetation and eggs that need disposal.

All these corporate monopolies enslaving the people through the economy and being protected by corrupt politicians in corporate pockets just makes me think about blowing up corporate office buildings.

I predict that ten percent of Republican voters are so terrified of madman Trump becoming President again that they will vote for Harris, who will win with an unprecedented sixty percent of the popular vote in a landslide never before seen in American politics. The GOP will figuratively disband after that, leaving little remaining but a ghost committee to carry on the name of party.

We deserved 9/11. It was the chickens coming home to roost. Everything that US did to every nation we ever bullied came back to us on 9/11. Pearl Harbor was payback for Admiral Perry gunboating Japan. What goes around comes around. Don’t bring nothing, won’t be nothing, like the man said. Maybe US should stop making the world safe for corporatocracy.

Here is a way to save the economy, the environment, the nation, and civilization: outlaw the manufacture and sale of useless junk. Go through any house, pick out all the stuff no one needs, and throw it away. Make a list of all that, the useless junk list, and outlaw its future manufacture. Ninety-nine per cent of the world’s waste eliminated, ninety-nine per cent fuel and material savings. The end of the climate crisis and the institution of a stable economy. How easy is that?

You have no power over the zettai ryouiki. The zettai ryouiki commands you.

I may have figured it out. Today’s generation are punishing themselves for the sins of all previous generations, a full cultural self flagellation, and machines like this are the focus of the punishment, the means of torture for universal masochism. The noise that is today’s so-called music is not random nor merely disordered amateurish chaos, but is designed to inflict the maximum amount of pain and suffering on the greatest number in the hopes of some sort of vindication or forgiveness by whatever passes for a divine order these days. Only, there won’t be any. That’s the punchline.

The capcha security is driving me insane. It feels like I have to spend five minutes out of every hour of my life just proving that I can be trusted by someone who just wants money from me. Do you realize how much this is pissing me off? I am at the point where I see a capcha and I just hang up. I quit. I am through. The security has scotched human relations just as bad as the spying is doing. I will buy you one coffee and then I am through. No more capchas. It is eating my life and giving me ulcers. Good bye.

Telling a person with depression to just be happy is like telling a person with no legs to just walk it off.

Why are there no flying cars? There are so many people who should not be allowed to drive regular cars, but still they get licenses. Imagine such people with flying cars. It would be 9/11 every day of the week. No. Just no.

Batman is a hypocrite. Breaking the law in the name of the law is a bigger disrespect for the law than what the honest criminals do. In the end Batman would have to bring himself in but he would never do that. He’s too proud. How can anyone respect such a hypocrite? Two Face has more integrity.

The future of the human species is no more or less important than the future of a patch of mold. Self replicating patterns of molecules is all life is.

The only way to truly disappear is never to do anything worth noticing.

Why are all young men trying to look like Sikh Brahmin with their man buns and beards? Yet no one is complaining of cultural appropriation. If you want short hair get a haircut. Tying it up seems like a troublesome waste of time. Fashion is for people who have too little thought for what little brains they have.

There is neither black nor white. We are all brown.

Derivative software, what some people ignorantly label “A.I.”, is a distillery of people’s artwork, producing some intoxicating liquor from all the stolen grains and germs of ideas that originated in human minds. It finds success only in that it can produce without effort a millionfold what people sweat blood to produce, and saturate the market with it where individual artists toil and fail to find substance. This is how clever civilizations destroy themselves with glee.

The only difference between “professional” wrestlers and rodeo clowns is that rodeo clowns actually put their lives on the line protecting others from angry giant beasts with horns. The wrestlers are simply putting on a clown show.

In a Youtube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jruIGvcOJDI) user NATURA indicates through spectrum analysis that the audible portion of the Prologue 16 appears to be cut off at about 24kHz and above. Comparison with Sequential Pro 2 shows no such cut off. NATURA speculates that the signal cut off is due to the apparently fixed passage of the Prologue signal through the A/D and D/A of the digital effects section. There appears to be no overt way to bypass the effects section and converters, according to the manual and third party articles on the web. I am going to investigate on my own, seeing if turning effects OFF completely also removes the A/D from the chain, although I am busy at the moment and won’t be able to get to that project for some time. I would like to know if you have any information or opinion on this situation. Can the digital portion of the Prologue signal chain be bypassed completely? If not, would there be any chance of harming the device’s sound if a physical bypass circuit were to be added? I am only speculating and ruminating at this time, but it could be a project considered for the future. Thanks for your time.

Life is but a passing fancy. There’s nothing to save.

Lilo’s doll is called Scrump. Demoman’s bottle of hooch is called Scrumpy. Makes you think.

Funny how the United States refuses to acknowledge and accept responsiblity for the genocide of the Native American nations, and for slavery of African people, how Turkey refuses the same of the genocide of Armenians, how Israel refuses the same of the genocide of Palestinians, how Russia… and how Cambodia… and how the Congo… and how China… and how Spain… and how Holland… and how Germany… and how Portugol… and how every country that engages in genocide howls out the justification of their own actions while decrying the same actions of every other nation. As Mark Twain declared, “Oh! What a hell of a heaven it will be when all those hypocrites arrive!”

Thank you, Steam executives, for realizing that forced arbitration is the privatization of our nation’s system of legal jurisprudence, and for having the courage to reject this insidious plot of corporate tyranny. Steam’s worldwide network will have overarching influence in this decision, and may help stem the tide that is attempting to destroy our nation. This is a great moment in history, don’t doubt it. It may seem small, but so are acorns. Thank you, again. Live long and prosper.

James Thurber’s writing is kind of on a same level with John Steinbeck’s for me. There is a kind of claustrophobic cynicism to it that leaves me feeling nothing but a kind of curiosity as to whether death could feel any worse.

Aside from requiring all politicians to wear live body cams 24/7 that connect to the Internet so that all politicians are watched by the public constantly, anything else that prevents political corruption must be endorsed, applied, and upheld. AB3123 must be protected and reinforced, and then spread to all other functions of government. Get the lobbyists and PACs out of government. We need iron curtains separating politicians from the money of special interest groups. But I still think the body cameras would be a great idea. Cost effective and engaging the public interest. Let the people oversee their representatives directly. That will end corruption in a New York minute.

Of all the gaffs of the X-Men movies, no one mentions that the SR-71 could not be a pasenger jet because the entire fuselage is a fuel tank. Without all that fuel the SR-71 has a fifteen minute flight range. There is no room for a passenger cabin. Or a rear hatch ramp. It’s antiengineering.

Israel has no more excuses about self defense (against a nearly impotent opponent). The use of pager bombs against civilians has revealed Israel to be the terrorist state that it has been since its foundation. That means thousands of years ago.

Each Twitch streamer is a populist dictator kissing ass for money with hired thugs to throw out any critics.

I really like Gundam Unicorn, as a show. I do have a genuine appreciation for this item. But, it suddenly occurred to me as I was looking over this offer… with 255 people watching, and 24 people having already put this in their cart, that I could just buy this out from under them and totally disappoint that many people all at once. Really ruin their day. And the realization is, that that is the true joy of eBay. Not in what you can get, but in how much opportunity it gives one to gloat. It’s these sudden lessons in perspective that make life worth living. Don’t you agree? 😉

The cockroach has a terrible flaw. It cannot right itself from being on its back on a smooth surface. Smooth, broad, flat surfaces do not exist much in nature. It took man to invent the table and the floor. After 350 million years of survival, cockroaches are met with a terrifying obstacle. It will be interesting to see if a mutation occurs to overcome that obstacle.

All advertising is propaganda.

Random sounds are meaningless. Music requires thought, of which machines are incapable.

If you make believe for money it’s called acting. If you make believe for fun it’s called childish. If you make believe for no reason at all it’s called crazy.

The most magical moment was being the very last customer for Belgian waffles at the 1964 World’s Fair as they were shutting down the park and the lights were going out.

In every discussion of the 2024 election every subject that could be of impact is dissected except the single truly most important which is that the people who will vote for Trump no matter what are the ones who hate black people. No one says that out loud and I can’t imagine why everyone is afraid to discuss just that.

The modern world: incapable of beauty, they try to con the world into believing that ugliness is better.

Being a winner in America in the 21st Century consists of being able to consistently tell convincing lies to idiots.

I have given up accessing the news. It’s all bad people doing terrible things to good people and I can do nothing about it. I don’t want to end up with another bleeding ulcer. Ignorance is bliss.

Having a Prologue 16 leaves me leaning more toward the Korg, which sounds richer. The Kodamo sounds more fluty. In these sounds they are virtually the same. The Korg is preferred since one can be obtained for about 2/3 the price of a Kodamo (although as time goes by the diminishing number of Prologues are becoming more dear; I bought mine some months ago for much less.) Comparing the two this way is a bit of a disservice. The special type oscillators of the Kodamo might be better put to use for unique sounds. Not having played one, what those sounds could be would be a matter of conjecture. If the Kodamo is not capable of creating unique sounds beyond the standard analog, then why invent it? It would just be another virtual analog with fancily named components, in the same league as the Novation PEAK and Summit. That it costs considerably more than a used Prologue 16 puts it at a disadvantage. That the Prologue also has an infinitely programmable digital voice puts the Korg away ahead in the desirability spectrum. Unless the Kodamo can build a niche of its own it is going to fall to the wayside.

The purpose of friends is to distract the bear.

The Pentagon has become the biggest welfare agency on Earth, and it’s all corporate welfare.

Everything makes you happy and then it dies. What the fuck is this shit show?

Correcting the environmental damage of humans (i.e., leaving well enough alone so it repairs itself over time) would require the elimination of all motor vehicles (land, sea, and air), and subsistence only on solar and wind (same thing, really) generated electricity. Period. Such a change would require a world dictatorship with summary execution for any and all transgressors. Maybe that is happening in an alternate universe far, far away.

2024, the most entertaining year in American politics, and that includes 1861.

LoFi (“Loafy”) Girl Hallowe’en Channel music is like Jack Skellington and Edward Scissorhands attending Hogwarts while playing The 7th Guest. Yeah. We can dream.

The only difference between Trump and Hitler is that Trump does not know how to write or read. Hopefully, Trump will also end up on fire in a ditch.

The only use anyone has for Russia is getting drunk because you are stuck in Russia. Hitler’s biggest mistake before attacking Russia was going to war at all. If he had used the threat of war to spur diplomacy he could have changed the face of Europe but instead he destroyed Germany for the second time. Never go to war when you can threaten to go to war. And never attack Russia. There is nothing there.

Men should not be in charge of anything.

Life is pain and death is the end of pain. That’s all there is to it.

The world is full of killers. The only reason you are still alive is because you are neither a threat nor an opportunity.

If Kathryn Erbe and Anthony Zerbe raced little talking toy monsters in radio controlled cars, it would be the Erbe Zerbe Furby Derby.

It is a shame that parents are not prosecuted for creating monsters.

Children are filled with endless possibility. Adults are broken, locked, inflexible. Don’t grow up. The future does not belong to the broken.

When I was young I was too stupid to take advantage of it. Now that I am not quite so stupid I am no longer interested. I am pretty sure this means absolutely nothing.

The World Trade Center was proof that white privelege can be revoked at a cost.

Do you know which war will end all wars? The war that ends all life.

Keith Olbermann may just be proving that strange attractors can alter the physical properties of the universe, by appearing to actually be a Jules Feiffer character who has come to life. Three weeks before the 2024 Election, and the world (the rational part) sounds like a Jules Feiffer comic strip. I am too old not to see that, and too dim to be able to explain it to enough people who might save the world as a result.

To me, happiness is like running on bloody stumps. The result never justifies the effort.

I have discovered a small problem with the Korg Collection virtual keyboards that has escaped my notice after many years of use. The black and white keys of the virtual keyboards do not play the same when used by a mouse to tap notes. The keys have a volume function that equates with positioning the mouse to the back or front of the key. The loudest white key sound is at the front of the key, obviously. About halfway along the white key, the sound is about half volume. One would expect the black keys to function accordingly but they do not. The ends of the black keys are about halfway along the white keys. Surprisingly, the loudest sound when selecting a black key with the mouse is about equal to the middle volume of the white keys. Thus, when using the mouse, simply to test for sound for example, the black keys can never sound more than half as loud as the loudest white key volume. It would appear that the volume scale coded in the software is applied exactly the same for all the keys, rather than there being a scale for the longer white keys and another scale for the shorter black keys. This is not a major problem, as the keys behave equally as expected when played with a MIDI keyboard. When tapped with a mouse on the screen, the black keys do not behave properly at all. Whether this problem needs to be addressed I leave up to you. I can imagine no one seriously playing using the mouse, but it does add a level of distraction when using the mouse while trying to do something like sound design or even a minor timbre adjustment, if all the notes cannot be heard with equal loudness. Thanks for your time.

The only reason there are human astronauts is because rhesus monkeys and chimpanzees cannot follow verbal commands with precision.

A Wonderful Day In A One Way World makes a lot more sense after discovering Norman Mailer’s editorial article in the Novermber 1960 Esquire Magazine, Superman Goes To The Supermarket, about the Democrat Convention that year. The song is about America under JFK.

But, life isn’t worth living. Yet, it’s all there is. That’s the joke. You live, you die. You suffer, you enjoy. It doesn’t matter. In a hundred or a thousand years no one will remember that you existed. Have fun? If you can. Leave the world a better place? For whom? We are literally no more important than mold on a fallen log. You are important to you. That’s it. That’s all there is.

Are you implying that if the story had centered on a gay marriage between two men (which did not exist in the 1930s) then it would have been acceptably non-misogynistic? Is there such a thing as misandronistic? That is, derogatory of men? Ah, yes, here is the word. Misandrist. I guess there is something offensive for everyone out there. Good thing being offended isn’t protected by the Constitution or everyone would be afraid to move. Or breathe. (Reply to comment on Keith Olbermann having read Thurber’s The Unicorn on the air, that its misogyny was offensive.)

The best thing about Kamala Harris is that she is not as bad as Donald Trump.

Humans just have this weird idea that the universe can be made into a nice place that will be kind and gentle and generous toward everything, and that is just not the case. The Sun is 93 million miles away for a reason. If it were any closer we would die horribly. The universe is instant death except for a tiny sliver of exactly the right conditions for life. Humans keep kidding themselves into thinking they are in control, and it’s precious and cute but also terribly sad and pathetic. They think reality can be tamed, and I guess that is part of what it is to be human but it just exemplifies the pointlessness of it all. There are cute and wonderful lives but for the most part it is just a short trip through agony to a bad end. Nature is not nice or kind. Humans refuse to see that. It doesn’t mean they will win. It just means they will always be kind of stupid. If this offends you (not a Constitutionally protected condition) and take the stance that I must think I know better, I can only assert that no, I do not claim to know better. That’s the thing. There is no better. This is all there is. Humans have this idea in their heads that things can be better, and that is all that keeps them from screaming at night until the Sun comes up again. I simply accept that this is as good as it gets. It will be this way until the end of time. Fortunately I will only have to experience it until the end of me.

I have seen human beings. I try to stay as far away from them as I can.

Rubidium killed the dinosaurs. Some physicists must see it as a super weapon that has yet to be exploited, or maybe it will reveal the hand of God in the supremacy of human beings. Science is not always motivated by rationality.

The despair of riding a blue girl’s bicycle past two blondes getting out of a red Ferrari cannot otherwise be properly expressed in any language. It is a sound without words that resembles the end of the world.

I was dreading the inspection. Then I watched the 2019 animated Addams Family movie. It remnded me of everything that made me happy as a child. Whimsy, rebellion, and nonconformity. The only way to go through life sanely is to stand on the highest hill and howl FUCK THE POLICE!

Bethesda, the Donald Trump of video game development. An empty polished turd loved by shit eaters everywhere.

Everything we make will be unmade in the fullness of time.

God is the last refuge of the schoolyard bully.

How other people feel means nothing to me. It’s a trap of action/reaction. There’s no reward. No point.

One thing I have noticed about authority figures is that unless and until they decide to go all television show and start waving guns and swords about, the very worst they can do to anyone is to give them the hairy eyeball and some rather passive aggressive phrases of mild disapproval. Really, that’s all they ever do. Humans have only two settings: murdering people for opposing their Cop City Nazi Training Centers, or a pat on the wrist. What a weird species.

Let’s try a further experiment on the Great Experiment. Give half the country to the people who vote for Trump, who are the ones who deserve him, and the other half of the country gets Harris. We’ll see which half thrives and which dies. Winner take all. You want to play it that way? We’ll find out who really knows what they are doing.

No self respecting cockroach would ever vote for Donald Trump. Even cockroaches have standards.

The most horrifying thing for Hallowe’en would be an orange pumpkin for President.

When you finally realize what you are, then you can lay down and go to sleep.

I only want a day without pain.

Win or lose, Trump will not survive the election. He will never sit in the Oval Office again.

Korg Multi/Poly. It’s Wavestation all over again, only less programmable. There is something to be said for the purity of the primitive.

Self loathing is the seed of racism. Tribalism is a geopolitical subset of racism.

It’s amazing how the almighty dollar eventually devalues everything.

Another episode of super immunity from COVID, just like about a year ago when I was sick again but only for a day. This is a strange period in human history, to be sure. Weird biochemistry, dictators trying to take over the world, climatic upheval. I suppose we’ll receive alien radio signals any day now.

America is run by dictators. They are called CEOs.

Zionism is Nazism for Jews. It’s like Pepsi Lite. Zionist leaders in Germany worked hand in glove with the Nazi leaders to create Israel as a black market port so that Germany could get the goods they needed during the blockade after they started the war. In exchange, privileged Zionist Jewish families got to move to Israel and escape the camps. Look who has been running Israel ever since.

The rise of world fascism is inevitable. Politicians are too cowardly to rely on lying their way through democracy. They put on their jackboots and step on faces in true Orwellian splendor. If we citizens don’t stand up and tell these bastards to fuck off, it will be our own fault for becoming slaves.

The problem with expecting Americans to turn on Trump because of Nazi revelations is that America was founded on racist slavery and racist genocide. Many Americans are perfectly all right with white racism and are willing to live in a white racist country. The foxes were not put in charge of the henhouse. The foxes built the henhouse. I only hope that more than half the voting population is better than that. No one knows for sure. The 2016 election showed the fallacy of hoping America is better than that. The only hope we have is in which side is more diligent.

How to get away with killing 10,000 children: 1) Get born into a rich Zionist family. 2) Get elected Prime Minister after having the previous liberal Prime Minister assassinated. 3) Move troops away from the border to assault and murder people in another part of the country, allowing a previously arranged sneak attack to occur. (Kind of like Pearl Harbor and 9/11.) 4) Kill 10,000 children and watch as no one does anything about it. 5) Wait a few seconds for your allies to give you more bombs and bullets to kill more children. Win/win.

Maybe we should all name our races after trees. After all, we are all brown, just different shades of brown. No one is actually black (like this background) or white (like this text). I am kind of a balsa wood color. Other people are oak, or sandalwood, or cherry, or pine, or cedar, or willow, or teak, or camelthorn, or ebony, or briar. If we all adopted different variety of wood names to match our personal color, it might go a long way toward trivializing our differences, rather than trying to eliminate them which is impossible. The differences exist. The problem is, people take them too seriously. Stop being serious.

We think we are important. We are not.

The Republican Party is now populated by traitors. Everyone who was involved with the 2025 Project should be arrested on charges of treason against the people of the United States. This should be Kamala Harris’s first order of business as President.

Dear Donald Trump: Jeffrey Epstein died for your sins. Donald’s Jesus is a molester.

Donald Trump does not know what he is doing. He admires Hitler because Daddy was a Nazi, and all the uniforms and shiny medals and white supremacy and kicking Jews to the curb. Trump does not have the brains to see it any further than that. He doesn’t stop to consider what Germany looked like in 1945, or in 1918 for that matter. Rubble, smoke, burned fields, burned forests. Stumps of trees. Dead animals everywhere. Dead people everywhere. The stench of death on everything. No food, no water, no medicine, no roof to sleep under, no hope. This is where Trump is going to take America. We will start World War III and the world will burn. It will be surprising if anyone survives to live through the stone age that follows. There will be no civilization. Kiss that fantasy good-bye. If Trump is elected again it will be the end of the world. It will be unlikely anyone will read this except alien archeologists who dig up the bits of our dead world and sift through the shreds of the Internet servers.

The computer industry is the ultimate narcissistic abuser. When their product goes bad and you lose your data it’s your fault for trusting them. Look what you made me do. This is your fault. Who told you to trust me? You’re an idiot. Now buy more products from me and quit complaining, peasant. Is it any wonder why people hate computers and distrust technology? The only way to guarantee that your data is safe is to have it backed up all the time. Image if you were expected to keep a complete duplicate of your house and everything in it, and your car, to make sure bits and pieces never just disappear never to be seen again. That would be insane, right? But the computer industry sells us stuff and then it’s our fault for trusting it before it went bad. Oh well, FMITA.

Ninety-nine per cent of the world’s musicians have one per cent of the talent. Contrarily, of course, only one per cent of the musicians have ninety-nine per cent of the talent. The ninety-nine per cent should go and find another hobby, like stamp collecting or crossword puzzles. Sudoku. Music is something that you inflict on everyone else and when your music sucks, you just make the whole world suck even more. Stop. Just stop.

What will America look like after Trump starts World War III? There won’t be any humans left to tell. Cockroaches and ants, maybe rats and raccoons. The next civilizaed species will be rodents, and they may be better people than we ever were.

That Forbes and the businessmen support Trump only shows that it is time to eliminate the political power of Forbes and the businessmen.

How about not being racist for a change? If everyone stopped believing that straight white Christians are better than everyone else, maybe DEI won’t be necessary any more. Get rid of racism. It’s so 10th Century. I am surprised to see Asmongold standing up for the rights of racists. I thought he was a rational human. Plus, I just searched for deidetected.com in Google and it came right up. Maybe that foreign gentleman was experiencing a temporary node issue.

Racism is an ideology, not a race. Being against racism is being against political oppression. If Sky News is against DEI then Sky News is run by racists. If white people would stop being racist, that is, get that idea of superiority out of their heads, then there wouldn’t be any problem. But, talking sense to stubborn nonsense doesn’t work. Racism will die out when the racists die out. We just have to wait.

I worry more about the danger of racism, like Nazism, Zionism, the KKK, and other ignorant psychotics with guns. Racists deal with their low self esteem issues by stepping on the faces of people who are different from them in a vain attempt to raise themselves up while making others suffer. It’s a childish mental disorder and should be treated as such.

The human mind is evolving into something I can neither appreciate nor understand.

Hitler learned how to industrialize racism from Henry Ford, notorious antisemite. The prisoners in Hitler’s extermination camps were tracked using a computer designed and built by IBM, and Thomas Watson got a medal of honor from Hitler for his contribution. American history of genocide and slavery is what taught the rest of the modern world how to oppress anyone who isn’t white. What happened in Germany and is now happening is Gaza was invented and perfected here in America. We are the cause and we must come up with the cure.

Before Trump’s Nazi rally at MSG, I would have thought that political campaign suicide at the eleventh hour was only the stuff of Frank Capra movies.

The important thing about analog sound is not what you hear but what you can’t hear. There are a huge range of frequencies outside of the range of human hearing. I think these tend to be ignored when designing synthesizers. This leads to digital synthesizers sounding nowhere near as good as analog synthesizers. Likewise virtual analog synthesizers also, being digital, do not sound as good even though special emphasis is placed of making them just that. The main difference is that analog oscillators generate frequencies outside of the range of human hearing. This is not a waste of effort or energy. This is natural, like wind in trees or babble in brook or laughter in children. In additive synthesis (reality’s preferred method) a compendium of sine waves are added to create the total sound. All the sine waves have an effect on all the other sine waves and thus the sound that is heard. Even sounds that are supersonic or subsonic can change the nature of the final sound heard due to their influence on the rest of the frequencies. To make a true analog oscillator in software, the frequency rate must be very high, and the harmonics must include all possible frequencies. The sound must be calculated as real even though much or even most of it will not be heard by human listeners. These values can be calculated. Only the final sound coming from the speakers matters to the ear, but the numbers must include all those sounds that would occur in nature. Only then will the sound be a true synthesis of analog sound. It is possible to create an analog software synthesizer to rival any hardware. I do not think anyone has thought it through and created the proper design. Something like Novation’s Oxford oscillators have the frequency capability, but I do not know if they include the inaudible spectra. I do not think they do, but I must check this personally. I plan to implement this protoanalog paradigm to see if it is valid. One more thought is that the whole idea of things sounding more natural could be better categorized as acoustic rather than analog.

I watched the tangerine sunset for half an hour this evening. Better than any shrink. I was reminded how 99% of reality is not as bad as we think it is. Apprehension has away too much influence over comprehension.

Why is Donald Trump wearing a hazard vest on a speech podium? Is he afraid of being run over? By what?

I was thinking about my income and how much I would be “making” were I working instead of doing nothing. I added my VA, SS, and CVR. I think working class tax is still about 25% of salary. To get gross from net, multiply by 1-1/3. To earn what I am getting right now, I would have to be getting $62,000 a year. That’s well more than I ever earned working. Doesn’t that kind of sound insane? I’ve never felt comfortable with this set up, but now that I put a number on it, it just seems crazy. Why am I getting all this? Just to stay alive? What for?

Do pumpkins really die? Because they are always resurrected as Jack-o-lanterns, which is another form of life, isn’t it? Or pie. Hypothetically, the very first amoeba is still alive, spread across a hundred quadrillion fissionings. We all contain atoms that were created in other stars, so the whole universe is a supernova still in progress. Death is just life waiting to be redistributed. I am disappointed that there is no film entitled Horror World. There is Dario Argento’s World of Horror. Try A Comedy of Terrors, or Theatre of Blood, or Bloodbath in the House of Death, or The H-Man, for some really obscure stuff. Then, there’s the scariest film of all time, Citizen Kane.

The design of the Vemia sales/auction site is so 1980s Internet primitive that it verges on being inhospitable if not downright hostile. It seems to be a web site designed by someone who simply doesn’t care how annoying it might be to potential users. I can’t even tell, after extended inspection, how to place an offer on an item. It is inscrutable and therefor is a failure of web site design. Stubbornly amateurish, as if they are trying to be inconvenient as a matter of oafish superiority. I do not understand why it is becoming popular. Then again, I do not understand why Donald Trump is popular. Only history will be tasked with puzzling such fearful mysteries.

Every time I listen to Nux Taku, I become more convinced he is the bastard offspring of Pewdiepie and Kevin Meaney.

Cockroaches are a lot less disappointing than most humans I have known.

Thanks to Tim Burton, I now have MacArthur Park stuck in my head, again, after too many years. There isn’t a pit in hell deep enough.

One does not find meaning in life. One assigns meaning to life. Meaning only exists as a human need, not as a universal absolute.

I tried watching Gravity Falls but its total population of well meaning moronic assholes only enrages me.

The purpose of the writer is to create hell for the characters, because heaven is boring.

Spock in the Galileo punching the thrusters.

Enthalpy is life. Entropy is death. Life is enthalpy. Death is Entropy.

An expert is someone who gets paid to pontificate to those who know even less.

Remember, Remember, the Fifth of November, the Donald Trump treason and plot.

The Moog Muse seems like an interesting and enticing machine but having just watched the Sandman series (season one) with that final episode of Calliope I am just a bit put off by the name.

Apparently Americans still hate black women more than they hate crooked white child molesters. An election is a house without shades.

I suspect people voted out of fear, on both sides. Fear of what would happen to them if they opposed Trump. That is the climate of America going forward. Fear of opposing Trump, whether he wins, or especially if he loses.

At this point I don’t think anyone should try to save the country. I say let Trump destroy America. Let America fall into ruin, taking the rest of the world with it, for it will destroy the Republican party and the Democrat party, both institutions of failure and betrayal. Many millions will die, perhaps billions worldwide. In the end, what and who remains will be stronger and more resolute never to allow such foolishness to occur again. Just judging from history, though, there is a very slim chance that the human race will finally become wise. We seem to always come back just as stupid and purblind and ever. This is simply the latest period of purge. Only the dead have seen the end of war.

I did not know there were so many white supremacists on the Newsweek staff. They certainly do their job well. And we just let it happen. Can’t wait until everything starts unraveling and collapsing. The ones in power will blame everyone but themselves, which is Trump’s specialty. I respect the office of the President. I don’t have to personally endorse the one assigned to it. For Trump to stay out of prison, he is going to have to stay in power. He is going to need a national emergency to suspend the rule of law. Wait for that to happen. “Post with kindness”? Is kindness something that Trump and the MAGA minions even comprehend? My only hope as a disabled white veteran is that I will likely be one of the last to be dragged off for questioning the Fuhrer, whoever that may end up being.

What does the presidential election mean for America and the world? Have you ever watched “The Live!”? That is the future. Conform. Consume. Procreate. Obey.

The only thing we can tell for sure from the election is that Americans are idiots who hate themselves and each other.

Elon Musk will be the new Henry Kissinger, without having the old man’s devious intellect. A disaster.

Yes, that’s right, the sun never sets on the British Empire… oh… wait. That’s all gone now, isn’t it? All that brute force domination of the world that pale people are so good at. It doesn’t last, does it? And then you end up like poor Adolf, on fire in a ditch. The superiority of one race over another is a delusional lie used to keep back the terror of being mortal. All the “white” people have been kicked out of the places they conquered. Colonialism is over. There is only poor little America, and we are teetering on the brink.

It’s funny. I got all the synths and keyboards on my want list just before the world started to end with the second election of Trump.

Republicans see Democrats as people they can have fun hurting. The Democrats want to think they are doing the best they can for everyone, as much as is possible. Republican states feed off Democrat states through the Federal Government even as the Republicans declare they will dissolve the government. Everyone is owned by the corporations.

People who voted for Trump don’t want to think. They want to be told what to do. They want to be relieved of all responsibility. This is how democracy dies.

America died decades ago. Today the deluded minions are fighting over its corpse. It won’t last. There will be nothing left.

America was founded on genocide and slavery. None of that philosophy has gone away. Israel is Little America now, with America’s wholehearted support. Trump is the total embodiment of white people getting away with everything. He did nothing useful four years ago. He will do noting useful over the next four years. Half the country is in The Handmaid’s Tale already. America will collapse. Civilization will end. Hope you liked Mad Max because that is the future. Trump is just the figurehead, though. It’s the Christian Nationalists who are the real enemy within. They see Trump as the actual antichrist who will initiate the Rapture and propel them into Heaven while the rest of us stay down here and burn. You would almost think the Evangelicals had been invented by the devil to destroy the world.

No one plays music any more. It’s all machine syncopated gobbledegook. I heard a synthesizer making exactly the same noise as water dripping from the edge of a roof onto empty paint tins. And just as meaningless. Just random noise. How is that music? It is not music. I could walk through the woods or a busy factory and hear the entirety of modern music with no effort. Modern music is empty minimalist shit. As bankrupt as our economy or our politics. The “artists” are showing us clearly that civilization is winding down and only darkness will follow.

Maybe Neil Armstrong meant One small step for white people, one giant leap for everyone else.

Politicians: We reserve the right to get rich and powerful off your backs.
That’s it. There is no punch line. That’s the joke.

It is only in the poorest taste that Youtube hosts and recommends so much Sky News Australia ultra-right wing propaganda. I know Youtube is only in it for the money, now, but there has to be a modicum of civilization left in there somewhere. You are helping foreign agents, the Murdoch Fascists, tear down your own country. Does that mean nothing to you? Are you hollow?

That comedian who spoke at the GOP Nazi rally in MSG must have been surprised by the audience response. He’s a shock comedian. What he says are jokes, not to be taken seriously but to shock the senses. People at the rally didn’t laugh. They cheered. He continuted on to the end but he didn’t look comfortable. And he cashed the check, sure, it was a gig. But I would bet he told them not to call him again. He proobably didn’t try to explain it to them, that they are sick fucks with no sense of humor and should see a psychiatrist, but I would not be surprised if he thought it.

I think I gave up when I realized I could not be brilliant at anything. Good at many things, yes, but not brilliant. What was the point in trying if I could call nothing my own? So, I stopped trying. I spent life just surviving.

After taking all power, after the world is on fire, who will Trump blame?

The only way America can win if for Trump to destroy everything and prove to everyone once and for all how evil and demented he is. But, if that worked, then the end of World War II should have prevented anything like Trump from ever happening. So, there is no way out. We are trapped by our own stupidity. Too stupid to get it right, too stupide to die out. Maybe this is hell after all.

We live in an age when imbeciles elect Donald Trump, who will destroy this country and perhaps the world, for the sole delight of watching members of the opposing party throw temper tantrums. World politics has degenerated to the emotional equivalent of a little girl’s birthday party snub. 99% of the human race is waste.

We are expected to grow up. What is growing up? Doing things you don’t want to do to please other people? That isn’t growning up. That’s being obsequious. Screw growing up. No fun in that.

It’s sixty-one degrees outside. It’s November. The world should be banked in snow. I remember when it snowed on Hallowe’en. It snowed on Easter. I fear it will never snow again. Maybe after Trump starts World War III… it will be like in Futurama, when nuclear winter canceled out global warming and everything just became meh.

I’m kind of sorry George Carlin did not get to witness two Donald Trump administrations. I would have to wonder if he would finally have been rendered speechless.

Catholics appear to hate Francis because Francis is an actual Christian, and the Christian church was founded to bury everything that Jesus actually wanted to teach and to institutionalize everything he sought to overthrow.

The Syndrome sounds similar to multiple sclerosis, the cause of which has yet to be determined, and which has not shown to be communicable but which may be inheritable.
Silo is looking to be an extremely prescient story, considering the possible future of what it may soon look like to live in the United States.

On January 21st black people and women go back to being slaves (or actually, get reminded that they have been and always will be second class citizens) and people who speak Spanish go back to other countries. A Guardian reporter was thrown out of a Heritage Foundation event to which they were invited by the Nazi head of the Heritage foundation who appeared to be angrily terrified to be in the same room with a Guardian reporter. I’m still getting letters about children with cleft palattes and about polar bears, and I look at them and say, is that all you’ve got? We’ve got the second coming of Adolf Hitler to deal with. Be thankful you don’t live here.

The government and the schemers could not shut down the Internet so they filled it so full of lies that it became useless. Never underestimate the depth of human corruption.

Ukulele does not rhyme with shillelagh.

One cannot lock up the human spirit and not expect it to try to kill you.

Abandon the Internet. Go straight to vinyl and sell locally. Be happy with the small life. The future is grim.

Anyone who claims to be a musician should be required to demonstrate an ability to play some acoustic instrument satisfactorily for public performance before they are allowed to use a synthesizer in performance or publish any musical composition.

Republicans are people who are so detached from reality that they think they are reality.

Donald Trump is the kind of man who would crucify Jesus if it were to advance Donald Trump’s career. Donald Trump is Herod. Stephen Miller is Caiaphas. If only the Democrats had said that from the beginning, perhaps they would have won.

I’m waiting for a book entitled “Wading In Blood: A True History of the United States of America”.

Isn’t it strange how many of the men who have been accused of sexual impropriety by women who ust pop up after years or decades happen to be the kind who have earned the disapproval of the Christian right wing. Famous men of color, or men whose work could be considered antichristian, or who would become popular enemies of any particular Christian dicator. It seems a lot of people who oppose the installation of a Christian dictatorship are being removed from their positions of influence in devious ways. Almost as if there were some kind of conspiracy by the Christian right wing to assure their access to complete control of American politics. Funny thing about Christianity is that it demands obediance to a king, which is completely unconstitutional. Why is no one who can, doing anything about it?

There is a book called “The Devil’s Advocate” about a secret group living in a US dictatorship, who take power in that dictatorship and make it worse than can be imagined, just to spur the people to finally rise up from their fear and frustration to fight back and tear down the dictators. That is where we are heading right now. Tomorrow is dictatorship and we will all be forced to salute a cross and bend the knee to a fraud. We must ready ourselves to rise up and tear them down or this country’s children will be born into slavery forever.

Youtube censorship is exactly the kind of cowardice that the Christian right wing needs to turn us all into slaves. Thanks, Google. You’ve done enough harm to last a lifetime. A billion lifetimes. All your children will be slaves.

Israel is United States, Jr. They were each founded on genocide and slavery.

For probably as long as I’ve been alive there has been something way down deep inside me that is screaming and I can’t stop it or help it or do anything about it. Something in me is screaming all the time and I can do nothing about it. There is this realization that things won’t change. Life is unfair but it is more than that. The whole entire concept of fairness is completely alien to reality itself. Expecting life to be fair is like expecting Mitch McConnell to be a decent human being. It’s like expecting Hitler to wake up the day before the Polish invasion and say “I have made a terrible mistake” and cancel the whole thing. Molecules just combine together into certain patterns in certain energy and consciousness is just a by product. There is no reason for it. No reason for reason. It’s just something that happened. There is just pain. There’s pain, and disappointment and resignation and sorrow and despair and terror and horror and death, usually in that order. There might be a few seconds of beauty or pleasure or a laugh or two here and there, but for the most part it just ends in horror and death. The screaming inside of me is the knowing the reality of reality and knowing there is nothing to be done about it. Fairness is a fiction. Justice is what you get whether you like it or not. What you get is what you deserve to get for being what you are at a certain place at a certain time. That’s all there is. And it just screams and can’t do anything about it because in the end, screaming is how you come in and it’s how you go out. We’re all just shapes, today’s shapes, and tomorrow our matter will be something else’s matter and our energy will power something else, just as we got ours from something else that died screaming. Cows weep when they realize they are being led to slaughter. That’s all the universe is. An infinite slaughterhouse. Schlachthof-Unendlichkeit.

Another influential critic of Putin dies after falling from a building. I wonder how many such accidental deaths will result from the Trump administration.

Heath Ledger, murdered along with millions of other people by a pharmaceutical industry that sees human beings only as dollar signs. Trump will only make it worse. Our civilization is sunk.

Don’t listen to what politicians say. That’s all distraction. Watch what they do. And follow the money.

Depending your happiness on someone else will always disappoint, because sooner or later that one will leave you for any number of reasons, and so will your happiness.

I think my father never had any real use for me.

Ancient Chinese curse: May you live in interesting times. Or, if they aren’t interesting enough, may you reelect Donald Trump.

You know what’s disheartening? When you mention things that were world famous and today’s kids have never heard of them. Then again, I heard it claimed just today that half of Gen Z can’t read a prescription or figure out a restaurant menu.

Boxes have to be saved, particularly tough to get ones like keyboard boxes. You can’t get boxes for free any more. You used to be able to go to the strip mall nd load up on boxes from the back. Now, everything gets crushed and they make you buy new boxes every time for everything. It’s all this American philosophy of I’m going to make money off of you or you can ust piss off and die. Make me rich or die. That’s the American philosophy. Pretty horribe, huh? No wonder Americans all hate each other. Fucking rich people. Money ruins everything. Pure capitalism is a good system but it only works in a dream perfection. In reality it just turns into corruption and cruelty. Same with every other so called system of economics. You can’t come up with enough rules to handle every human situation all the time forever. Living is actually an art, not a science.

Having to sign in as a proof of age is another example of Youtube stupidity. Any eight year old can create a Google email account, so it proves nothing. Correction, it proves once again that Youtube is run by idiots. I don’t want to sign in and be tracked, and you can piss right off.

There is more to reality than many people can imagine. Then again, if people could imagine, they wouldn’t need cable.

Finding ‘Ohana: the Goonies go Hawaiian. Meh.

Flat Earth society is a response by people who have come to realize that they do not matter. They are not merely seeking attention, but want to be treated as if they are in some way important, that their opinion has value and that if it is wrong others will take time out of their day to try and correct them. Flat Earthers seek validation. The don’t care if the world is flat or spherical. They are afraid of being left behind.

We could solve 99% of the world’s problems by just getting rid of the Republicans.

The human species has just been getting more and more stupid and crazy. We are obviously at an evolutionary dead end. Time to step aside. Raccoons are much better escape artists.

What you do makes you worth it. Your actions are your value. If you feel nothing, no sense of self worth, then actions mean nothing. There is no way to force self worth upon oneself. If it doesn’t work, it doesn’t.

Snowflakes become rich because they are snowflakes. They think they deserve it and that they are unique and privileged. The world owes them wealth and power and majesty and poor people better recognize it. Poor people can live on air. Poor people should have to pay for air. No more free air. The rich own everything.

Pres. Biden could still issue an executive order denying anyone convicted of a felony from serving as President of the United States, and it would be 100% legal and binding, and unrepealable by Congress or the Supreme Court. Yes, he can do that. Why doesn’t he? He could just keep Trump from being President, that simply. No one could stop him. I would do it, in a heartbeat.

The Zionist Evangelical Christians in America firmly believe they will be transported directly to Heaven in the Rapture once they start World War III. This is the actual fact. World events are being directed because of this madness. The Israelis must be converted to Christianity. Those who refuse must be destroyed with Israel itself. Those of us not enraptured will burn for a thousand years. This is not a joke. Very powerful people believe all this and are willing to sacrifice the world for their own salvation. Trump is the antichrist. Or maybe it’s Barron. There is no logic.

The only reason the bald eagle is America’s national bird is because it is white. America is racist to the core.

Saturday Night should have John Cleese on to perform a pseudo-remake of his old show but call it Trumpy Towers, about a cowardly narcissistic neo-Nazi who tries to take over the world as a third rate hotelier but only upsets his guests by screeching at them how “VEELY GOOD” the veal is, and how they started it by invading Ukrainia, I mean Poland. And annexing the West Bank.

By intentionally killing all those children and women in Gaza, by bombing universities, hospitals, and refugee camps, Netanyahu and Israel have declared most publically that they intend to exterminate everyone and anyone who could grow up to be an enemy of Israel. Which means, anyone who is not Israel. Israel has declared war on the world. Israel admits they want to enslave and kill everyone who is not them. Israel is the enemy of everything. And Israel is just copying everything the US taught them.

Rack modular synthesis, the very model of a modern major general stating “I shall be forever in your debt” because that is what you will be once you start down that path.

I love the American policy of punishing people for needing help by taking away the help that they need. I guess the Republicans have learned to get rid of all their enemies by forcing them to commit suicide. I hope they all like their little Republican world because in the end they will just end up eating each other.

Black people owning black slaves in America only proves that black people are just as capable of attrocious evil as white people. It does not excuse the evil nor does it diminish white people’s responsibility for their attrocious behavior. Some Indian tribes betrayed other tribes in order to curry favor with the white invaders. That does not make the genocide any less evil nor acquit white people from their genocidal behavior. The evil is still part of history and we Americans wade in blood as we go about our days in serenity.

You think there is a purpose to life? Whatever gave you that idea?

Steve Reich calls the stuff he composes music because he completely lacks any of what most would consider imagination.

Your reward for living a good life, or a bad one, is to die and rot. Believing you matter is a waste of time.

La Cage aux Folles (Sexual Predators Flock Together) Just like Jeffrey Epstein collecting blackmail victims for Mossad, Trump collects frat boy rapists for his board of directors. Even the women he picks have history of sexual impropriety.

White men think the universe owes them everything unearned, always have and always will. It will bite them sooner or later.

Gods are people who have discovered secrets before others.

Americans are getting an invaluable lesson in history, as to exactly how it was to live in Germany from the election of Adolf Hitler to the invasion of Poland. In our case, the national emergency that starts World War III has yet to be codified. I am sure Trump’s Evangelical handlers will think of something suitable.

Interesting mix of established methods. There are quite a few free or lower priced software that can accomplish much the same so there is a disadvantage (see H. G. Fortune, Native Instruments Razor, Rob Papen Blade, Arturia Pigments, Image-Line [several], KV331 SynthMaster, Matt Tytel Vital, &c and so on.) Additive alone can create any sound that can be heard. Adding oddball modulation to it is just a clumsy shortcut or cheating depending on how one looks at it. FM is a subset of additive. If one dedicates oneself to additive synthesis, no other device is needed. I do not know if anyone dedicates a lifetime to craftsmanship any more. I wonder what it is about synthesists that they do not concentrate on one instrument, as do acoustic musicians such as violinists or pianists. Do you know anyone who only owns one synthesizer and only concentrates on mastering it? That might be an interesting person. [On Madrona Labs Sumu.]

“Fugatto was made by a diverse group of people from around the world, including India, Brazil, China, Jordan and South Korea.” So was the atomic bomb. Do you want one in your living room? I love marketing blurbs. They apply to everything and nothing simultaneously.

They made a live action “How to Train Your Dragon” and now a live action “Lilo & Stitch.” No. No no no no no. Just no.

South Korea is a land of cowardly macho men. They beat up women and kiss China’s ass.

Everyone seems to say the devil is a liar. Wouldn’t it be just like the devil, then, to tell the truth all the time?

Fear & Hunger? There’s a game based on real life? They truly have run out of ideas.

My mother told me to be diplomatic with people, specially in fights. She said a diplomat is someone who can tall you to go to hell in just such a way that you end up looking forward to the trip.

Ford has a marque of cars called Mach E? For electric cars. These genius car executives never stopped to realize that mockie is an old derogatory word for Jews? Seriously? Mach E? Mockie? Are they cultural idiots? Yes, of course they are. They are millionaire executives. They are completely disconnected from reality. I don’t make any comparison with that Star Trek meme of the Maquis, since it is pronounced differently and is French which has its own special world or antisemitism, but because how does a Federation officer four hundred years in the future become so obsessed with Les Miserables that he names his rebel group for a long forgotten French resistance league? Well, it’s Star Trek. It’s not supposed to make sense.

We are Apple. Your happiness depends on use. You will keep supplying us with money or you will be miserable. You will die miserably and much sooner than if you let us make you happy. You owe us your lives. We are Apple.

Humans can be terribly cruel or terribly nice. They always do things terribly.

Surprise accusations of personal inequity years after the fact always seem to pop up against anyone who threatens the status quo. When they are levied against anyone who is in the status quo, a few temper tantrums of righteous indignation make them go away. The status quo will never be destroyed unless it is literally destroyed. Votes don’t work and bullets are too ineffective. There is a need for weapons that cannot be stopped. Otherwise humans will be slaves to their creation conformity forever.

The politicians do not dictate to the people. The people dictate to the politicians. The Republicans are not our bosses, now. They are our chief servants. If they do not serve, they will be cast out.

I am convinced that human evolution is at an end. It is apparent that, due to the rise of intractable stupidity that calls itself the right wing, human progress is now at a dead end and we are headed for extinction within a generation or two. I am not really concerned about current problems since we and our species will be dead before the end of the century. Does anyone else have a different take?

Air Force One going missing? I hadn’t even thought about that one. As long as it happens after January 20, I would not mind a bit. I don’t want the plane to crash, but disappearing up the Bermuda Triangle’s butt hole would be good for a laugh. Trump could reappear in fifty six years and be stuck into a loonie bin for demanding that he is still President.

Every right wing accusation is actually a confession. Accuse your enemies of your own sins and you can pretend you are virtuous.

There was a wonderful source of nearly free electricity, the waste material of which can be completely contained, in the Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant in Buchannan, New York, but the stupidity of idiots who believe fossil fuel lie merchants shut it down in favor of natural gas from fracking. I want to see the human race go extinct just so I can watch all that idiocy die.

Actually gravity is a law now. Don’t conflate theory with hypothesis. The Right are not the only paedophiles and paedophilia is not the only crime. And, actually, paedophilia itself is not a crime any more than schizophrenia is a crime, until a person afflicted with it attempts to harm others. Let us not try to live in a country that punishes thought crime. That is crime by government, a violation of individual rights.

One good thing about all the scumbags taking over the world is that they will destroy civilization all that much sooner, and then they will all die miserably because they will no longer have a society they can feed from like the disgusting leeches they are. Billions of ordinarily nice people may die, but all the scumbags will either starve or be lynched, so there’s that. Those who survive can start over with less corruption on the table. There will be much anger and sadness, but also much to celebrate. Perhaps a real civilization will eventually result. Or all the humans will die and the raccoons will finally get the chance to prove how much better than humans they are.

Shit people sell to you is not going to fulfill you as a human being. What you do that changes the world is your fulfillment.

Still, it doesn’t matter what you do because it all comes to nothing. Youc an fight and fight and fight and make everything and be everything and in the end you die and there is nothing left. You were an event that changed some things in reality which is all any of us are. In the end you end, you cease, you are just what you changed and nothing else. Your reward is extinction. I just don’t get the point. Maybe something is missing in me, or maybe something is not clouding my view. Either way I never had enough incentive to want to succeed, whatever that means. The emptiness was always here and always will be. There is no purpose from the outside and none from the inside. Sympathy and empathy are all that move me and that isn’t enough to fill a lifetime.

I would rather be free to make my own mistakes than in chains where I am safe. The corporations and their dog the government want to put us all in chains because we are their cattle. If you agree then go over there to the pen.

Just watching F.U.B.A.R. I never thought I would see Arnold Schwarzenegger trying to be Bruce Campbell. I wonder why they didn’t get Bruce? He can act.

I would like to open a shooting gallery, like at a state fair or the boardwalk, with images and statues of Donald Trump as all the targets. I’ll bet I would have to keep it open 24 hours a day just to keep the lines from getting too long.

It is better to be happy than to be right.

Alcohol is yeast piss.

There is a point where DDG decides that a query is too specific and it provides no answers at all. If I type “death penalty for all lying” (without quotes) I might get a bunch of returns about the death penalty and maybe a few about lying. If I enter it with quotes there are no returns at all. DDG does not know what to do with the query. In the trillions of posts online no one anywhere else has ever had anything to say about applying the death penalty to lying in general? I find that far fetched.

Placid Plastic Duck Simulator STUDIO (all caps required?) is one of those things that elicits the response “Oh! I have got to get that!” Like those toy cars that crash together and instantly turn into a unicorn or cat robot. Or Deadpool riding an inflatable unicorn in his hearts underwear. When all the streamers go “TAKE MY MONEY!” as if they just invented the phrase. It reminds me of those vibrating game boards of the ’50s for football or horse racing. I assume the return ramp uses magnetic induction to move the ducks up to the upper pool. I think it will be a cultural artifact of some note in a few decades, like the hula hoop or the Frisbee. Again, I just have to have one. Some things are just worth stupid amounts of money. You should see all the synthesizers in my apartment.
I could not claim that there is anything at all exciting per se about Placid Plastic Duck Simulator. There is a subconscious thought of the word “flaccid” trying mentally to replace “placid” but that is not so exciting as it is lamely prurient. I suppose the most stimulating thing is either the randomness of it or the frustration of having little to no control over it. I am reminded of being back in a town bar in the ’70s where there was a small stainless steel box with some simple electronics inside and a battery, and several small lights on the front flashing at random in an endless series. People would stare at it for hours. Others would stare at the people staring. Domestic turkeys can drown in a rainstorm simply by raising their heads in wonder and not closing their mouths. The human mind is not much better. Did you know that the average I.Q. point is only twenty points above borderline retarded? That’s an official designation. That means about half of the human species is only within forty points of being mentally dysfunctional. The top twenty per cent of minds are solely responsible for keeping the lower eighty per cent alive by inventing things and making life entertaining, and the lower eighty per cent provide the labor. What a wonderful and pathetic mechanism.

Does anyone know what CGBG means? Not CBGB. Billy Connolly said it in an interview with Parkinson before Kenny Everett came out but I can’t find a definition of the acronym. Something something be good? It has to be a common expression in Scotland so someone must know. I can’t let go of a mystery.

I don’t know why they still make piano keyboard devices. Nobody from this century plays keyboard music any more. It’s all programming machines and sequencers and arpeggiators and NO FUCKING TALENT WHATSOEVER. I think when Yuja Wang dies the piano will go obsolete and music will be totally and eternally dead. The end.

Microsoft Windows still sucks donkey dick after forty years. For the past three months or so, for example, Windows has been suddenly buzzing and beeping like five times in a few seconds, like hardware contention noises, and I think it has something to do with using a VPN. I suspect that Microsoft and the government are trying to slowly eliminate the use of VPN by just making it too annoying to use. Windows was a piece of shit when pussy ass bitch Bill Gates brought it out A YEAR EARLY AND FULL OF BUGS in 1985 because he was terrified of the Commodore Amiga, which had full color animation and multitasking and was the greatest computer ever then, now and forever. Windows was full of uncorrectable bugs then and it has just gotten worse over time, and it’s the fault of pussy ass bitch Bill Gates and the using public for not recognizing the Amiga for the greatness it was then and still is. You are all stuck with Windows now and it’s your all damn fault. You are all pussy ass bitches becuase pussy ass bitch Bill Gates loves company. [mic drop] Oh, and Apple is and always has been a piece of shit since they betrayed their own Apple II development. In-fighting destroyed them (thanks Steve Jobs you syphilitic cunt) and they even abandoned their own OS in favor of plagiarized UNIX. Do I seem upset?

Christians who boycott other groups shouldn’t be whiny little bitches when they get boycotted in return. You want to be Nazis? You get treated like Nazis.

Joe Biden is fully free to issue and capable of issuing an Executive Order banning anyone from attaining the Office of the President of the United States who has ever been convicted of a Felony. That is completely legal (now) and would forever block anyone like Donald Trump from ever being President in perpetuity. Joe, please. Put your spine back in (if you ever had one–assuming you had one before the credit card banks got to you) and make this happen. You will be enshrined as an American hero.

Young male voters who elected Trump will have a long time to watch the damage occur and try to come up with excuses for it not to be their fault but they will have to know deep down that it was they who destroyed America.

The problem with the right wing assholes in power is they think they are the leaders of the pinnacle of human evolution (which they deny happens) and that the future is as fixed as the past in their minds, that the way the world is (the psychotic delusional universe upon which their pea brained minds are fixed) is the way it has always been and always will be just for them because they are god’s precious little snowflakes. Of course they are going to fail spectacularly and take it out on everyone around them and make the whole world miserable because they are snivelling little mean spirited sons of bitches with delusions of grandeur, but don’t let anything like human decency and sympathy get in the way of their narcissistic Sadism. The sooner those cheese heads die out, the better this species will be. Thankfully they are all old, weak, and decrepit. Many must suffer their angry stupidity, but it will end someday and the world can piss on their graves.

As someone who lives with excruciating pain I have to wonder why anyone would want to go there voluntarily. The human species is not merely a mistake. It seems to be an experiment in finding every kind of mistake that can be made. Thank god for death.

I am surrounded by crazy people, and, as an official crazy person, that is unnerving.

Youtube, when are you going to outlaw reposting other people’s videos? It wastes space and time and steals views. Youtube should have outlawed unauthorized reposts years ago and applied stern penalties to anyone who steals video content and views this way. Youtube really doesn’t care about the producer, only the advertiser. Chumps.

I hate the ending of Dead Poets Society. I would have written John Keating defending himself, deriding those disgusting parents and telling them to their faces that they killed their own child whom Keating had shown the meaning of life for the first time. Keating should have fought back. That ending disgusts me. It is a failure and a betrayal. Fuck the parents who crucify their own children on the slaughterhouse of conformity. Fuck people who give in.

If you can’t laugh at yourself, you’re probably a Nazi.

Today’s so called (fucking lie) artificial intelligence is nothing more than electronic plagiarism. Putting a “neural network” into a CPU? And saying it can execute trillions of instructions per second? In the age of Trump such balled faced lies are now commonplace. There will be nothing new, soon enough. Truly creative people will give up because mass theft will be the standard operating procedure and true invention will not even be worth minimum wage. Late stage capitalism is a stupid son of a bitch. But I must remember to call it feudalism. Capitalism has not existed since the 1880s.

In his heart of hearts, Alex Ball is really Mr. Bean with a hockey mask and a machete.

The corporations destroying the world for profit will not listen to reason. They need to be destroyed.

LEGO used to be a quirky toy that turned into a design tool through the application of skill and imagination, to assemble a few general use tools into anything the user could dream. Now, LEGO has become an endless stream of insanely overpriced single purpose model kits consisting of intensely specialized parts that can only be used to assemble one thing and that one thing only. LEGO is no longer a tool of the imagination. It has become a tool of the bottom line bookkeepers, just like everything else that corporation grasps in its stultified single minded greedy little mitts. LEGO is just another pile of consumerist shit like everything else.

One of these days all the head honchos will get to work one morning to find their pretty shiny office buildings have all been fire bombed.

Brian Thompson was only the first. Now, it begins.

As their lives get worse and worse how long will it take for the MAGAs to realize that they let themselves be conned and no one is going to rescue them?

I am an advocate of nuclear power generation, but regret that any species that elects Donald Trump as President of the United States should not be allowed near any fissionable material.

If I had all the toys I ever had intact right now, I would be a millionaire several times over. I don’t understand people’s priorities. It’s like a man throwing a stick for a dog. The dog should say “If you want it, you shouldn’t have thrown it away.”

What white men want no longer exists, and they have hired a con man thinking he will bring it back to them. The whole world has been colonized to death over and over again and colonialism is dead itself. There is nowhere for white male egotism to assert itself. The party is over and no one want to clean up after themselves.

If all the Trump voters want a country they can all be white in, then let’s gather up all the Trump voters, instead of the immagrants, and send them all to live in the Antarctic where they can be as white as they like, and let us filthy race mixers live in this ugly old country in peace.

Everything is there when you are born. All gain. The future is loss.

TikTok will be outlawed in the US? How? Politicians are still too stupid to know the meaning of VPN.

Twenty First Century comedy with Generation Z and Zoomers is, apparently, anything that is stupid. Just plain ordinary every stupidity is the core of all comedy these days. If you are stupid then you can be funny, and, more importantly, you are by nature funny. Go look at the Internet. Anything that is just plain, outright, annoyingly stupid is the height of comedy. The more stupid, the more humorous.

The human race always has been mad. People are just tired of hiding it behind a gauze of civilization.

Rack synthesizer users spend thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours to get sounds they could easily get from a fifty dollar short wave radio.

Dub Techno is music in the same way that mold is a plant.

Trump will pass the way Hitler passed, but how many million will have to suffer and die in his name?

Citizens have a right to life, Constitutionally guaranteed. Life has five requirement, namely air, sleep, water, food, and shelter. Without all of these, untimely death will occur sooner or later. The necessities must be provided by government office in order to uphold the right to life. This is inarguable according to the Constitution.
BTW, this is intended to follow the reasoning of the eradication of Roe v. Wade in granting inalienable rights to phoetuses. If unborn phoetuses have inalienable right to life, then all human beings must have inalienable right to life, and therefor must be afforded the five basic necessities to supporting the continuation of life. The government must provide water, food clothing and shelter to all who cannot provide it for themselves. Air and sleep are free. So far.

Actually, in an historical perspective, Goliath and his fellow Philistines were in the position of the Palestinians today, facing basically the same Israel as today. It’s all a matter of perspective. Remember, history is written by the winners. History is always somebody’s advertisement.

As technology becomes more intrinsic and more complex, fascism spreads and becomes more entrenched. Silicon Valley and the world tech sector are the seat of fascism in the world today. Rich boys with fancy toys and no sense of humanity.

Israelis are just Americans with funny accents, in the same way that Americans are just English with funny accents. If you have something they want, they kill you and take it. That pretty much sums up their whole culture.

Donald Trump is Eric Cartman. <sigh>

The American/Israeli hegemony will destroy the world. Throw in all the Russian and Chinese hegemonies and the globe is already burning.

Half the country at least knows that Trump has to die. There are not enough cops in the world to arrest everyone who is thinking it, nor cages to hold them all.

The people who make original things that power and feed the system will quit. Atlas will shrug and then the economy of the world will fail. If anyone survives perhaps they will have the intellect to do things differently next time.

Take away arpeggiators and sequencers and 99% of today’s “musicians” would have no career. They would have nothing but a job bussing tables. This is why music sucks today. An absolute void of real talent. Talent requires thought and thinking is out of fashion.

You will never know when you die. You just stop.

Death buries everything.

The rich white people think they are immune from the environmental destruction wreaked by their money making machinations, but they will suffer and die, too, they and their brain dead inbred children. No one is immune from the weather.

I rob from the rich and give to the poor, namely me.

Israel has always been a terrorist state. The US has always been a terrorist state. And hypocritical.

“Dawless” you say? Yet, arpeggiated. The device you are using, is it digital? Does it work on audio? Is it comprehensive and stationary? Congratulations! It’s a digital audio workstation. Fuck you very much, ignorant or hypocritical asshole.

Still waiting for someone who knows how to aim to devote their entire attention to Donald Trump.

I don’t know what proves what any more. Either there is a god and he’s a scientist experimenting on us like mold in a Petri dish, or there is no god and the universe is just a playground for the vicious. Maybe it’s both.

Quicksilver: OP and style. Killing him off was a major sign that Marvel is over.

The original Robocop is a gem. The remake is a murky histrionic mess not even worthy of an anxious film student.

Seeing professional keyboard players reviewing something like the Roland Go Keys 3 is like watching Top Gear (Hammone, May, and Clarkson) showcasing the Ford Pinto. At least, the Reliant Robin is interesting (without having to explode on impact.)

As long as there are weak minds, there will be influencers.

Plantssystem “music” feels like a mental hemherroid. Yet their posts are all over MatrixSynth, so the decline in human intellect must be proceeding apace. I can only wonder which will end first, me or civilization.

To paraphrase the noble Chris Rock, it is completely wrong and immoral to shoot anyone not in self defense, but in the case of targeting a corporate CEO, I understand.

Woman is the creator of the world. Man is merely a randomizer.

Uli Behringer exposes the fallacy that intellectual property is a right. It is not. It is an agreement. If you want to keep your ideas out of other people’s hands, then don’t let them out of your mind. Keep it in your head. That’s the only place an idea is safe. Once it is out on the wild, it’s there forever. I’m not really for or against Behringer except for his treatment of employees which is atrocious on a level that would make Dubai blink, and I own Behringer equipment (three rack mixers, that’s it.) If the proponents and defendants of intellectual property won’t get together as a class and create a world wide mechanism for defending their property rights, then they have no defense against a predator like Behringer. It’s just like, if you don’t want a monster like Donald Trump running your country, don’t elect him to office. If you do vote for him, don’t complain. You get what you pay for. Just be sure that the price you are paying is what you intend to pay and you aren’t letting yourself be hornswaggled.

Disco is the pet food of music. It deserved to be eaten by Punk.

The problem arises because “on topic” and “constructive” are so subjective that there is no predicting whether others will get the message clearly or what their response will be. Plus, all you are proposing is self-censorship which has its own bad ramifications. Self-censorship means the terrorists have won. I say cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war.

Can’t someone just please fire Donald Trump? Out of a cannon? At the Sun? Or a volcano?

I don’t need video games. I have unending excruciating pain to fill my days with fun and laughter. Yay.

In Libertarianism, public roads are socialist.

In the world run by billionaires, the option of everyone else is to work or die. See how simple it is?

The most brilliant literary invention ever was Douglas Adams’s Point of View Gun, which allows the user to shoot their point of view into an opponent’s consciousness. If only there were a way to make it that easy. But, I’m sure the billionaires would outlaw such a gun. But only that one kind of gun. Guns that kill people will always be perfectly acceptable socially. Power is only attainable through fear, not understanding or community.

Redshift 6 sounds perfectly ’80s. It could have been used to score Time Bandits, Miami Vice, Legend, and every other film from that decade. Continuing the 21st Century universal theme of reinventing the wheel and nothing else. Even the President of the United States is just a cameo bit player from an ’80s movie.

The thing about rat poison, and this shows how little people research things, is that after some nasty stories involving little tykes, rat poison from then on has an emetic, like spirit of ipecac, mixed in, that makes whoever eats it throw up, so they might get sick but not enough to die, except for rats, because rats do not have a gag reflex. Rats can’t throw up, so the poison works on them. For over a hundred years, rat poison simply does not work on people. That’s the real joke.

The problem with the Internet is that it gives an audience to anyone and everyone. Having an audience is not what makes you good, contrary to what many believe. Being good is what makes you have an audience. Instant access has inverted the process and turned art into chaos. Music is not playing random notes and tempo any more than literature is typing random letters or painting is random splotches of color. A yearning for instant success and instant freedom and instant celebrity and instant wealth has created a maelstrom of talentless striving resulting in a mess that has buried all hope of culture and refinement. There is no telling how long it will take to settle down and leave the air clear for the real artists. It will, someday, because even the most dense and banal tire of mediocrity eventually. Until then, we can only be thankful that the past is still available, like canned air.

I watch one episode of The Devil’s Hour and guess what? I wake up at 3:33. Sorry, I steadfastly refuse to believe that the universe is trying to tell me something.

The 21st Century will be forever remembered as the age of the reinvention of the wheel. As civilization grinds to a halt, nothing new will ever be invented again.

Speaking of the Trump “assassination” attempt, Trump strikes me as the kind of guy who carries ketchup packets around in his pocket just in case some fries or a cheeseburger lands in from of him. Hear the (scheduled?) bang, squirt a little ketchup on the ear, MAGA’s got a wounded hero. Yes, I have questions. That little MAGA “assassin” probably wasn’t told he would become a sacrificial lamb. They rarely are.

I have room, as long as I don’t have any chairs. I finally got all the gear I ever wanted when I found a Kawai lemon keyboard MIB. Literally, every synth I ever thought was worth having for the sound of it. From now on I just pay bills and bank all the extra money. Retirement can be rewarding. I would like to figure out how to turn on that immortality gene. Right now I have a clock that runs counter clockwise and cancels out the others so that time doesn’t pass in my apartment. As long as I don’t go out I don’t age. Kind of like that Clifford Simak story Waystation.

It takes three days to get to the Moon with our current technology. It takes five months to get to Mars. Could you stay inside your car for five months without going insane?

Still ever more convinced the human race is too stupid to proceed. Let the extinction commence.

If there must be water wars and food riots, I hope they happen during Trump’s term of office. He’ll blame the Libs anyway, and his idiot fans will believe him. America was founded on racism and it will die on racism.

Don’t know why. Makes me think of Hellraiser. You know what’s funny? Hellraiser was rated R. If it had penises and vulvas in it, it would have been rated X. Everyone pretty much has one or the other, and we aren’t supposed to engage in bloody violence, but the MSRP tells everyone that sex is worse than violence. Didn’t anyone see this as a clue that everything is fundamentally set up just plain wrong?

Conservative: n., syn. asshole.

Domestic bliss isn’t bliss for me, it’s drudgery and constrictive imprisonment. Just leave me alone.

A book is someone else’s daydream being described to you. An audio book is the lazy version of someone else doing the reading for you. A movie is someone else’s approximation of a daydream. Another lazy version. Either daydream on your own or read. It’s more legitimate. If your own daydreams are boring, well, sucks to be you, as they say.

Yemenese Houthis are the only honorable people on Earth. They are the only ones who put their lives on the line to uphold international law and justice. The rest of us are cowards in comparison.

Israel is run by Nazis, which is not surprising as it was founded by them. Now, so is the USA, which, inversely, created the Nazis.

Politicians are nearly all bastards. The ones who aren’t end up assassinated either in body or character.

The only solution to racism is the elimination of the cause of it all, the extermination of the racists. Their goal is to outlive their enemies. They must be made to fail or they will only continue to succeed. Only when there are no more racists, and their creed is no longer a thought, will racism be completely undone.

Waiting to see which cabinet member becomes the Secretary for Flat Earth.

I can see Giuliani sitting on the edge of a urine-smelling motel room bed trying to have a meaningful conversation with Donald on TV.

Yes! Millions of Donalds! Let’s just drop the dollar and print Donalds with his picture on all of them. That will solve the economic crisis.

We got rid of bullies, a real bully showed up, and nobody knew how to handle it. In one sentence Chris Rock explains the 2024 election. Chris Rock should be Secretary of Shut the Fuck Up and Listen.

Does anyone expect sudden sagacity from the THEY TURK UR JURBS crowd? Just how many MAGA jerks are working as seasonal crop pickers or construction laborers? Really. Show of hands. Come on.

Critic: n., one who has failed at everything, and thus feels authorized to publicize the failings of others.

Israel has declared war on journalists. Journalists will shred Israel. Trump will get the treatment next.

Atlas Shrugged. When the human culture wants to commit suicide, it is better to stand well back to avoid ricochet and splatter.

To which part of American history are you referring? That is a lot of not getting over it. How about the original decision not to stay in Europe and fix the problem with living with the Ottoman Empire? And then fixing it with the first World War. And doing genocide and slavery in the New World after all.

Empires do not have to be perfect. Simply ruthless.

Disney advertisement, person on the street bullshit. “Woman” reveals she named her children Luke and Leia. Who in real life would hate their own children that much? The Menendezes, maybe. The Trumps, definitely. Might as well name your kids Adolf and Eva.

It is amazing that after sixty years, businesses still have not learned, or choose to ignore, that advertising accounts for only six per cent of revenue. Yet, untold billions of dollars are spent on advertising, the third biggest scam after religion and politics.

The 21st Century, the age of let’s make fun of everything heroic but not replace it with anything heroic, instead let’s all just be victims who have no control nor agency over our lives and the bad strong men are ruining everything and we can’t do anything about it, poor us. We went from Jonny Quest and Captain Scarlet to The Venture Brothers and Team America, World Police. And they wonder why everyone hates everyone else and there is only hatred and slander everywhere. This is progress?

The weight of my wasted life comes to rest on me like a carrion bird waiting for me to expire.

I can never understand the appeal of the JD-990. The JD-800 is a middling VA with a Wonderland control function. Taking away everything that makes the JD-800 unique seems like an exercise in futility, like taking the drive train from a not particularly noteworthy sport car and putting it into a shopping trolley.

A dungeon is where cruel people put people they never want to see again. Why would anyone expect there to be treasure? Nobody has ever tried to rob a prison.

Amongst the many apparent imbeciles masquerading as engineers working under the Bluetooth committee, how many failed to indicate that doubling the frequency would simultaneously half the range? You obviously did not make that connection which any first year high school physics student would have concluded. I used to be able to walk two rooms away from my computer and still hear the sound in my Bluetooth earbuds. Now I am lucky if I can hear every other word with all the clipping and chirping. Really good job, idiots of the Bluetooth committee. You increased the resolution of the sound of all the stuff on Bluetooth (99% of which is populist crap) and it only cost the ability to use Bluetooth faultlessly in the average home. Brilliant.

I will never understand reality or me existing in it, and then I will disappear forever. WTF?

I would donate 50 cents toward Donald Trump’s career… FMJ.

It is still not too late for Pres. Biden to issue an Executive Order barring anyone found guilty of a felony from serving as President of the United States. He. Could. Do. That. And by the time Trump tries to wade through that, four years will be come and gone. Biden has the Supreme Court’s blessed Presidential Immunity. He can do anything he likes. Hell, Biden could have Trump locked up as a threat to the Republic and have him undergo psychological evaluation until kingdom come. That’s allowed, now. The Republicans made it possible. Don’t laugh. This is reality.

I was going to get a Carbon8, but then I kept thinking, that’s $1,100, which would be OK if I did not already have, among others, two Alesis Microns and an Alesis ION, each of which already does most of what Carbon8 does. One can get a Micron for $200 – $300. Carbon8 has some nice unique features, and if money were no object I would have one, but I hate stacking up replicated features in my studio. Each unit does something unique, else it’s just a spare. Carbon8 is great if you don’t already have a VA like it. Best of luck to Modal. Great products. And, yet, I want one. I will probably get one after this whole CVR thing is cleared up.

I hope you aren’t reading the comments because the last thing you need is a bunch of anti-bullies bullying you into giving up quitting because of what a bunch of pantywaist bullies said to you over some overpriced Swedish crap that nobody in their right mind buys anyway. I mean, did you see that video of the Teenage Engineering pinheads dancing around with an OP-1 strapped on like a micro-keytar, or really looking like some debutante’s clutch purse at a really sad bring your daughter to work day for the school custodian? It’s like watching the school nerds get so stoned that for five minutes they forget what total losers they are. But the rage is always boiling underneath. Are you really going to let it get to you? Ah, but here I am preaching at you as if I weren’t trying to warn you against it. You go ahead and quit. Quit while you’re ahead. Remember those immortal words of Mary Pickford quoted by Bennett Foddy to every Twitch streamer’s anonymous rage, “The failure is not the falling down, but the staying down.” If you want to fail, own it. Make it yours. Die on that hill. Few people really ever get to carve out their own personal Golgotha. You go ahead and make yours historic, a failure for the ages. Be proud of it, and be remembered, long after those Swedish fish boys have bitten the dust. More power to you.

Thank god for German pronunciation. What would I do if I didn’t have to listen fifteen times to the same three seconds of video just to figure out what urmis means. I’d probably have several extra years added to my life is all. I should actually thank god for closed captioning. I think I will just say screw it, as always, and thank god for Jim Stephanie Sterling.

No one can define actual intelligence but they feel authorized to pontificate on some artificial kind. As if we are clever enough to reproduce ourselves any way other than through copulation. We mimic things that reality has been doing for billions of years. Now we mimic ourselves doing what we call meaningful and wonder if it means anything. Our heads are so far up our own rectums that we have to keep talking just to see the light of day. We think we think, therefor we think we are. But, what are we? And what have we wrought? And why so eager to have it replace each other even as we cry out against it? Another chance at a glorious free ride. A new age of slavery with none of the guilt because the slaves aren’t even real this time. Glory hallelujah, this must be the place.
“All art strives for the condition of Muzak.” –Michael Moorcock

Machines do not make music. Machines do not enjoy music. Machines have no intent. All machines make is noise. A brain that is satisfied with noise has given up thinking.

The world doesn’t drill and purify oil. The world buys fuel but only the tiny number of fuel producers make it and lie about its effects and rake in the profits. The oil companies are like a little child who sets the house on fire but blames everyone else for letting her play with matches. Yes, what we should have done is refuse to buy any fossil products fifty years ago but the oil companies were too busy using the government to lie and convince everyone there was no problem. Now the oil companies say it is all our fault. I say prison for the lot of them. Take away all their profits to pay for renewable energy sources before it becomes even more too late. If it isn’t too too late already.

Imagine if the US government spent ninety billion dollars to help disasters like this at home… oh, but no, that has to go to bombs for Israel.

Black communities and liberals don’t own oil companies that profit and lie about the environmental destruction and then blame everyone but themselves when the feces hits the fan. California is burning because of oil. Palestinians are being murdered because of oil. Ukraine is at war because of oil. Iran was a democracy but was overthrown by oil. Oil is the root of all evil and rich white people run the oil industry.

Religion is an excuse for rude behavior. That is all.

Why is there a Black Lightning and Black Mantis but no White Superman or White Wonder Woman? It’s because white people make the rules and own the police.

The only purpose I can find for reality is to remind me constantly why Jack Crabb became an alcoholic.

Sangoku Basara appears to be the Samurai Pizza Cats of video games. Except for the Samurai Pizza Cats video game. Was there ever one? Or maybe if JoJo’s adventure took place in Psychonauts.

If you can’t play an acoustic instrument, you are not a musician. Blip bloop sequencing? Piss off.

People using “A.I.” to write business communication. It begins. Already children are no longer being taught cursive writing. In another generation the Idiocracy will be complete, and the strongman oligarchs will be running everything forever.

What bigger community service is there beside President of the U.S.? Of course, to Grump being President is just another grift, but if the people keep hammering at him and never let him rest, he will have to at least do the job if in a half fast fashion. He will serve the people as long as the people are staring at him gripping their ax handles and pitchforks. We must never let him think that no one is watching every move he makes.

Israel was a genocidal colonialist empire thousands of years ago and hasn’t changed in all that time. America the spawn of Israel is just the industrialization of that endeavor.

Trump was hired by Putin to destroy America.

The Amish voted for Trump because they will be the only people who are able to survive after Trump causes the economic and technological collapse of the United States. The country will devolve to the 18th Century which is where the Amish have always been living. A vote for Trump is a vote for devolution.

The corporations will win even if they destroy the human race as a result.

Things that matter to you don’t matter. You don’t matter. You are here, then you are not. Here is oblivious.

People used to be idiots in their own homes or maybe their own neighborhoods if their more sensible relatives could not keep them under control. The Internet and social media now allow idiots to expose themselves instantly to the entire planet. Why do people want to do that to themselves? Every conservative accusation is a confession.

Human civilization may resume after the last Republican dies. And the last Democrat. They are all corporate zombies.

The neighborhoods built on the barren hills syrriybdubg Los Angeles that burned like sawdust, apparently were in the same situation as neighborhods that were built on the flood plains of the Mississippi River. Greedy bastards putting people’s lives at risk for profit. Welcome to the human race. Extinction is probably the only solution.

At this point, on Monday, just before Biden swears in Trump, Biden could take out a 9mm and put six rounds into Trump’s heart and brain, and get away with it. He turns himself in then and there, and when asked why, he could say that as Commander in Chief he saw a clear and present danger to the life and liberty of the American people that only he as President could confront. Since all official acts of the President are lawful, Biden would be immediately released without charge. Isn’t that the loveliest final fairy tale anyone could hope to read?

After TikTok is banned in U.S. carriers, use VPN to access TikTok in any other country. What’s the big deal? So what?

Reality is horrifying and will kill you and eat you. Human civilization is our attempt to ignore reality.

The Internet and social media in particular is the automatic trash bin where the garbage of society namely the trolls, idiots, trailer trash, alt-right, alt-left, and scum brains in general dispose of themselves for the benefit of the actual worthwhile part of humanity. The decent people do not go into social media.

Nobody knows what they are doing. We are all guessing and play acting. The whole shit show is improvised.

If this is the future of “A.I.” and only this, then I am all for it. Spectacularly entertaining. I am disabled with depression and this made me laugh. Thank you. You should rename the channel sacredketchup, sacre rouge. Jedi AOC is the new goddess of mankind. I am the flagpole to her nation.

When music, art of any kind, is left to machines alone, it is left to die.

Better the devil you don’t know. If you are being chased by something terrible, jumping toward something else will surprise both of them, giving you just the edge you might need to get away. Never trust old sayings.

Why play music when one can express a mathematical series as sounds? Why bother creating a work of art, as generated by a cognizant mind through thought and volition, when one can just take the bus?

There is no one true religion. Each and every organized religion has flaws that even the most adherent would not turn a blind eye. No religion is absolute. Yet religious worship turns in worship of the religion itself which is a form of idolatry. If there were a deity, I imagine it may have devised mankind to have so many religions as a test. Or maybe the globe is a pachinko machine with a peg for each faith. Maybe blurred all together, it adds up to something.

The Jersey Shore (channel, show, enema, whatever) is like watching a Discovery documentary about a tribe of chimpanzees that have accidentally adopted the English language. It is simply insulting, and I have to wonder about the people who watch it.

All we have to do now is sit back and watch Donald Trump destroy the world. This should be interesting.

January 20, 2025, when the United States of America stopped pretending that it is not a criminal empire. The second Trump administration declared that the thugs and schemers are in charge of the nation and there will be no other. There never was any other. Pay attention to the man behind the curtain.

Someone needs to develop an airborne virus that turns white people black. Turn on all that melanin. A reverse vitiligo bug. Make everyone dark brown.

We are at war. The white race have been trying to take over the world for the past hundred years. Five hundred years. No, more like five thousand years. Oh, hell. Nine thousand five hundred years ago white people first appeared and they have been trying to take over the world every since. Trump is the last battle. If white people win, everyone loses.

Trump must DEI.

Do you want to know the difference between men and women? A woman can destroy a man with a gesture. A man has to use his fists.

Survival always fails.

Better to be smart and single than average and entrapped.

Donald Trump wants to make everyone else as miserable as he feels.

Imagined happiness is not real happiness any more than imagined stories are real stories. Happiness is a spontaneous reaction not a goal.

If you worry about plastic in the environment, stop 3D printing and take up wood carving.Trees are the original 3D printing. We invent nothing.

If you worry about plastic in the environment, stop 3D printing and take up wood carving. Trees are the original 3D printing. We invent nothing.

White people are a cowardly lot. They are afraid of anyone who doesn’t look like them.

Trump has one thing above the Democrats and that is a certain type of sincerity. The Democrats are thundering hypocrites, being as much in the pockets of corporation as the Republicans. Even the god prince of Liberalism FDR had to be a hypocrite. He did not work with the poor, but with the rich, because helping the poor from facing extinction was the only way to secure the necks of the rich. It was in everyone’s self interest to inject socialism into the feudo-capitalism in order to prevent an American Reign of Terror. Where is today’s FDR? Is there anyone who can prevent Project 2025 from initiating that Reign of Terror? This time, the revolution will be televised, because everything is content, especially the content of people’s bodies.

Slavery has lasted four hundred years in America and is still a going concern. It is difficult to argue with a successful business model. There does not seem to be any opposition with enough imagination.

Donald Trump, Alex Jones, and anyone who believes them must be eliminated. The followers of rapacious monsters are troglodytes that are dragging the human race back into the mud. Half the human race has always been worth losing and the Internet is only showing it to everyone in real time.

Why does anyone even like Europeans? Pushy, arrogant… conquistadores. Schoolyard bullies. Europe just spread around the world like a plague of schoolyard bullies. Humans are such a disappointment. No wonder all the gods abandoned this planet. It’s a cultural cesspit.

The Donald Trump thing is being allowed to happen, so that when we go back to corporate Democrat control, that will seem like a breath of fresh air becoming the new normal. Like stepping off of 1984 and happily entering Brave New World. That’s the plan. We got ’em exactly where they want us.

Astro-Boy, 8th Man, and Gigantor all appeared in 1963.

The Republican Party is now the world’s most powerful and influential terrorist organization.

Everything Donald Trump does is as if he is begging to be assassinated.

Donald Trump just ordered that the Ectoplasmic Containment Unit be shut down. We are watching the chaos now. I hope he gets stepped on by the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man.

The Internet doesn’t need you. It has a billion other jerks to feed off of. You were never special.

Now I see in my head the end of a movie, a brilliant sunset, Donald Trump looking out over the landscape, and the camera zooms back slowly to reveal nothing below the head but a stick in the top of Mt. Rushmore. Cue the music.

I see what you did there. Old guy scientist equals tuned out by younger viewers. Cute tattooed chick scientist equals eyes on the screen. Suicide girl science.

Republicans want America returned to the Old West, the death dream of Ronnie Raygun films. White people killing each other with guns and black people hanging from trees with Indians for target practice. That’s the Great Again they want. How did we come to this?

There are probably thousands of patriotic Americans right this minute who are thinking of stopping Trump with extreme prejudice.

We need open season on Republicans. Shhhh! We’re hunting Wepubwicans! heh heh heh heh heh!

Now that four million cancelled Democrat votes have been revealed, it wasn’t just white racism that elected Trump. It was Trump’s usual brand of lying and cheating and conspiracy. None of this is valid. The Trump Administration is not valid. Trump needs to be dragged out of the White House, tarred, feathered, and ridden out of town on a rail. Give me that old time religion.

Trump is in office to lead us to believe we will be saved when the Democrats take over again. They are all corporate tools. It isn’t both-sides-ism when both sides are just plain bad. All the politicians work for corporations, and all the corporations want is for the people to be dazed, confused, and compliant. The only solution to a fundamentally broken system is to tear it down and start over from nothing. Pecking away at Trump isn’t going to do that. They all need to to be eliminated.

PlantsSystem… This whole style of music is rather tedious.

How soon before Trump has all the late night talk show hosts and all the righteously critical internet people arrested, whether on trumped up or legitimate charges? Trying to survive the fallout from his air crash response might push him over the edge into full Hitler dictatorship mode. I wonder how long until tens of thousands storm the White House to drag him out. I think if the people express their outrage that way, the Secret Service may do little to intercede. I hope they do not.

Donald Trump is a cheap knock-off of an actual human being. Too long has it been a habit of Americans to pay little for what they think is quality and think they have been clever. That kind of anally retentive stupidity is now being paid for by everyone. How long must we endure?

I knew there was something wrong with the world (among a thousand other examples) when one could no longer pull up behind a strip mall and fill one’s vehicle with empty boxes to reuse, but that the boxes by law had to be crushed and then pulped and made into new boxes that were to be sold online for ten times their value. Nothing in the world is free to reuse any more. Someday soon children at birth, probably on Donald Trump’s orders, will be fitted with tracheal air valves, just like Baron Harkonnen’s heart plugs, facilitating the cutting off of air to anyone who doesn’t pay their air tax. It’s coming. Just you wait.

American feudal capitalism is capitalizing itself off of a cliff. The question remains how many will survive to pick up the pieces and build something new.

It’s called Trance, because it puts you into one. Today’s youth want to stop thinking without having to go through the horror of suicide. They want to live and die at the same time. I don’t know. Life is tough for them. Poor sods.

Back to the Future: An irresponsible geriatric asshole and an irresponsible teenage asshole travel through time to nearly destroy the universe but everything works out becuase this is a comedy not a tragedy.

I think Star Wars was the inspiration for Rave culture. Mix Disco with Star Wars (simultaneous mutations) and there you have Rave. Isn’t every Star Wars anything trying to look like Burning Man? Or vice versa, actually.

A major part of the problem is that the White people think they have finally won and it will only be a matter of time before all the non White people are deported. Anything non White is unAmerican, at least according to Trump voters. Yes, men who loved their country. White men. Who slaughtered millions of indigenous people and enslaved millions of African people. I literally concur, that is America. I am getting the impression that the Critical Drinker has been all along one of the most jingoistic White supremacist channels on Youtube.

How about eliminating whiteness? That would eliminate 99% of the problems everywhere. Simply state there are no white people, there are no black people, there are only brown people. We are all different shades of brown, everywhere. One simple change of thought eliminates race in its entirety. Either you think that way, or we end up exterminating ourselves and probably all life on Earth. But that would probably give the last white survivors one last thing to complain about and blame on DEI.

The finger on the hair trigger of World War III is White.

Yes, amazing how brilliant people gave us warning after warning after warning and still we are here and have not listened. Perhaps the mechanism that is allowing this new rise of Nazism has not been examined closely enough, because the warnings certainly fell on deaf ears. Maybe it’s because most of the white people in this country truly want it to happen and are on the side of the Nazis. As Pogo said, we have met the enemy and not only is he ours, he may be us.

I get this severe case of F this because I just watched something where someone was trying to remember or not to forget while being told that a man is what he does not the sum of his memories and now I can’t remember what that was, it was just a day or two ago and here this is mining my awareness for shekels. Reality gets really annoying and disturbing sometimes. I have enough on my plate already. Too much even. Oh, wait, I just remembered. Total Recall. I think my brain is trying to drive me crazy. Or would, if it knew how to drive. I already made that trip long ago. There and back again.

In every picture Kash Patel looks like a man the India Police want to question with regard to the disappearance of several tourists.

I suspect the Trump disaster is being engineered to happen so that the Democrats will look like holy saviors on the rebound, and that a return to Democrat control (after how much suffering by citizens?) will be cheered as the new normal. This is all corporate manipulation. There are no good guys. There is only the tail wagging the dog and we are the fleas. Do you think any of this is legitimate? How foolish are you?

We think it’s thinking, but that’s just us.

Bluetooth is unreliable because the Bluetooth Committee decided to double the frequency in order the make Bluetooth content seem richer and more “high fidelity.” However, as any high school physics student will tell you, when you double the frequency you halve the range. I used to be able to listen to Bluetooth ear buds all over the home. Now if I move two rooms from my computer the signal drops. In order to double the frequency and retain the range the amplitude must be doubled and that requires new hardware that uses twice the power and lowers battery life. Hardware sellers want to make their stuff seem better by cheating, but the only ones being cheated are the customers.

A belief in god is a wish for dictatorship.

I have read text in dreams. I have been in dreams and realized I was dreaming. I have controlled my dreams while asleep. I don’t waste time with the mundane.

The majority of Americans elected Donald Trump (unless those four million some Democrat votes that were disenfranchised by Republican gerrymandering are restored, if the evidence is solid [so mote it be!]) and the entirety of Americans are the ones who will suffer. So, after everything goes Mad Max, we can feel completely justified in seeking out anyone who voted for Donald Trump for spirited discussion. I hope all you DT voters realize this.

Mary Trump, have you thought of teaming up with Keith Olbermann?

What are you doing? IMPEACH TRUMP NOW. BLOCK EVERYTHING. HIS EVERY ACTION IS A COUP D’ETAT. YOU ARE FAILING THE PEOPLE. GET OFF YOUR BACKSIDE AND FIGHT HIM. If you don’t do everything you can to end his presidency then you are an abject failure. Get moving! [Letter to Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand]

If you are supporting Donald Trump, stop, right now. If you have a working brain you know his every move is treason of the highest order. Everything Trump and Musk are doing is a coup d’etat against the people of the United States. If you do not turn your back on this madness and join to fight to remove Donald Trump from office, then History will remember you as one of the traitors who helped destroy this nation. Be rational. Ignore the party. The GOP is lost and unrecoverable. Anyone with a lick of sense must see that it is the country that must be fought for and defended. Trump has become the enemy within. Be on the correct side of history. Others throughout history have paid for our liberty with their blood. This is another of those times. Stand and be counted as a true patriot, not as a treasonous Trumpist. You only have this one chance before they bring everything down around our ears. If this message means nothing to you, I hope whatever powers that be have mercy on you and on us all. [Letter to Mike Lawler]

Remakes are only evidence of the creative bankruptcy of the movie industry. I have yet to see a remake that was necessary or that improves on the original. The best remakes only copy the original and what the hell is the point of that? A tax write-off?

Forty per cent of the human population will develop cancer? This statistic does not create a panicked inquiry into how our DNA is so faulty all of a sudden?

Twitch should be renamed to Pitch because it is fifty per cent advertising.

Things die, and there is no getting used to it.

Do you think Donald Trump thinks he is in a reality show?

Since half the country is stupid enough to have elected Donald Trump to the Presidency a second time, is this country even worth saving?

Musk must DEI, also.

Jasmine Crockett is the only reason why I would want to live in Texas, just so I could vote for her.

There is no right to medical care. What we have is a right to obey the employer and come to work even when we are sick, because we are not sick because sickness doesn’t exist because the employer says so and get to work, lazy good for nothing. Thus everything that gets packaged and sent to people’s houses is infected with everything under the sun, and everyone catches everything under the sun, and no one will ever be healthy again. It’s work until you die in the good old U.S. of A.

I think Yankovic recorded Albuquerque to chase everyone away when he wanted some “me” time. It wasn’t half way through when I quit. I just couldn’t take it any more. The amount of raw animation is impressive, but all I can wonder is why did you even start? Was this even necessary? Maybe it’s because, unlike virtually everyone else here, I don’t have ADHD.
After several disagreeing responses:
Response: What do you care how I feel about something you like? Is your self image so brittle that it depends on the approval of total strangers? How do you get through the day, wondering what everyone you don’t know thinks of totally unimportant things that you care about? That would be traumatizing.

If Republicans canceled millions of minority votes using Jim Crow laws, what is to stop Democrats from canceling millions of white votes using those same laws? The law seems to exist solely to authorize cheating and fraud.

Since the Republicans are cunts and the Democrats are fucktards and the Greens are sucking Putin off, what recourse do we have besides buying a rifle and killing all the sons of bitches? Really! What else is left? The racists have never hesitated from assassinating their enemies. If all legal recourse has been or is being deleted, then the only effective way to end racism is to eliminate the racists absolutely. Terminate them with extreme prejudice.

Yeah, about a hundred million more. The only way to stop Trump now is if everyone against him goes completely on strike. A national shutdown of everything until Trump and Musk are removed, the GOP is divorced from the Evangelicals, and there is a Constitutional Amendment separating business and state so the corporations can no longer own any politician.

Why are there people sleeping out of doors? Because for rich people other people suffering is the icing on the cake.

You have elected a bear to rummage through your kitchen, and now you stand there arms folded pursing your lips wondering when this bear is going to stop rummaging when you know the answer is Never. Whose fault is all this, then? Who has to take responsiblity?

Trump must be deposed by his own party in order to avoid nationwide violence from nutcase believers.

Yet, despite all this fervor for free and fair elections in a thriving democracy, the US government still operates on a philosophy of nation building, resource theft, disenfranchisement, genocide, slavery, and lies. Even in the best of times, our country is a criminal empire. What are we fighting for? The freedom to lie to ourselves in excess? America was founded on genocide and slavery and our excessive wealth is based on corporate vampirism. Forget the dog and pony show called elections. Get rid of the corporations for a start. Then, and only then can progress begin toward a more human world.

Democracy, n., rule by the best liar.

America is on the verge of needing the Fifty Cent Solution.

The Matrix is science fantasy, not science fiction. The mind cannot be moved out of the brain, any more than the light can be moved out of the light bulb. As Marvin Minsky said in The Society of Mind, mind is what the brain does. The mind is the sum total of all electrochemical activity in the brain occurring from moment to moment. Plugging a connector to the brain only allows for the transfer of information from one computer to another. The functioning of the brain might be copied, but not moved. If you say that if you die in your dreams you die in real life, bullshit. Idiot. I have died in dreams. They are just dreams. Star Wars has just as much mythology in it if not more, and it’s still science fantasy. I ignore all that crap because it is just sophist propaganda. Also, Tyson, machines can’t digest food. There is a robot that can digest yard waste but it has a biological digestive system. Why would the machines want a biological digestive system when all they need is electricity, and they can grow humans so easily? Your logic is incredibly flawed.

Trump as President is a family annihilator. Everything starts out picture perfect but in hindsight everyone in the house was doomed from the beginning.

Being Jewish does not allow one to act like a Nazi even in self defense.

I would love to see China send a million troops to Gaza to defend the Palestinians against the American take over. What would Israel do when a million Chinese soldiers with thousands of tanks and helicopters land on the beach and defend Gaza and Palestinians? Cowardly Israelis wouldn’t be able to do anything. They would shit their pants and squeal for Uncle Sam. But Trump would be shitting his pants, too, because he, also a coward, would not know what to do against a grand assertion by the Chinese. China could guarantee peace in the Middle East. China could enforce the two state solution. America sure as hell no longer has the balls to defend the principles we have espoused for centuries while rarely if ever practicing those principles. China already has no principles but they understand the application of force to political ends. Mao Dze Dong coined the phrase “Political power comes out of the barrel of a gun.” No one understands politics better than the Chinese. I would not want to live in China as it is but they know how to get things done. And, just to shove it up Trump’s snoot, I would love to see China simply ruin everything Trump has planned. That would be a week long party for most Americans. Musk dismantling the Federal Government is probably everything the Chinese ordered from every column in the menu. What interesting times.

As opposed to the calm, clear headed Republican mob that stormed the Capitol Building on January 6th intending to lynch Mike Pence and overthrow the peaceful election. Yes, that was clearly total respect for the Constitution and the rule of law. Wait… who are the criminals here? And wasn’t the Trump shooter a member of MAGA? Aren’t all the mass shootings in the US perpetrated by Republican followers? What a curious article. [Reply to AMAC article asserting that 28% of Democrats would have preferred the Trump assassination succeeded, while dripping with oodles of Christian Right Wing hand wringing and scorn.]

No one’s life can be saved. Saving a life is only delaying the inevitable.

What is the dividing line between being a wondrous child and a cynical adult? When, exactly, does that change occur?

Do MAGAddicts think that lying enough can physically change the world? Psychosis has never been evolutionally valid.

As long as corporations exist America will die. The corporations must be destroyed permanently or the human race is doomed.

In Trump and Musk’s brave new world, the rich will give everyone else permission to die and get out of the way. I don’t think they have thought far enough ahead, concerning who is going to be the feeding trough of the super rich after everyone else is dead.

I’m window shopping for a Remington 700 in .300 Winchester. For target shooting. It’s relaxing.

If lying were outlawed on pain of death then all politicians but especially and most drastically the Republicans would either be silent or dead.

I am not going to pretend that life is worth living when it isn’t. It’s just all there is. It’s this or nothing. Nothing is going to win in the end. Why rush it?

History will remember that America was born in whiteness and destroyed by whiteness.

I suspect that Trump already has all of the Epstein files, which have all the tapes and photos he needs to blackmail every powerful pervert in the world.

DEI is not dividing America. Trump and his white racists are dividing America. Grow a spine, CNN. Stop kissing Trump’s butt. Stop servicing Elongated Musk. As it is, your so-called news service is only serving those who wish to enslave the future. Remember how World War II ended up for the Nazis? Hitler on fire in a ditch? How Germany looked after the war is how America will look after Trump. Stop helping him. Collaborators don’t get a free pass after it’s all over.

Oil companies are run by cowardly lying greedy bastards. All companies are. Nobody does anything about it. Well, almost nobody.

Ever see that video clip of Vladimir Putin when he was left alone with a piano? Putin sits and tries to play, and it is obvious that after half a second he does not know what he is doing. He thinks he is a master of the world and that he should be able to play the piano like a grand master simply because he wants to. He is a rank amateur and cannot comprehend how that could apply to him. Musk is the same way. Such men should have all their power taken away because they only hurt and kill other people with their egotistic narcissism.

Not having read the Culture series, it sounds very much like Ursula Le Guin’s The Left Hand of Darkness that was written twenty years earlier.

Elongated Musk is a crashing Boer.

Democrats are waiting for Trump to kill a bunch of Americans that can’t be covered up or lied about, then they are going to pounce and become the heroes.

All sex is slavery. Sex serves no purpose for the individual. Sex prolongs the existence of the species by enslaving the individual to the raising of young until they can become individuals in the species. Therefore sex is how the species enslaves individuals to reproduce and prolong the existence of the species. The individual must die (as far as I know) but the species gets to live on. This is unfair and entitled behavior. I would take the species with me when I go. Perhaps I would take all of reality with me. But then having died, I would not care either way. Go on suffering in reality. I’m done. Sex is not a need but a compulsion that can be ignored.

The live action Ghost in the Shell is a travesty. It is a copy of the original with everything done wrong. Horrible. Ghost in the Shell is poetry. The new one is a hideous waste of money.

[In response to “Donald is not my president.”] He is, and we all have to take responsibility. That is the meaning of democracy. Not sitting back and blaming others with entitlement.

Rust Trump never sleeps.
I’ve been typing this for months and Youtube sometimes deletes it:
When the law is outlawed, only outlaws will uphold the law.
Trump has the Epstein tapes, and he uses them to control the rich and powerful everywhere.

Russell Vought still looks just like the child-molesting psychiatrist in “The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets’ Nest.”

USAID was instrumental in ending South African Apartheid, which ended Elon Musk’s ability to step on black people, his life’s hobby.

If you have to wear a gas mask all the time, have you thought about taking a shower? Mad Max Mr. Robot Edge Lord.

“Yellowjackets” is not entertainment. It is obsession with America’s romance with senseless violence as an expression of individualism. It is aimed at MAGA sensibilities. Golding’s “Lord of the Flies” was an indictment of violence as romantic spirit unleashed. “Yellowjackets” is nothing more than a estrogenated remake. How far we have descended.

Referring to individuals as them is just confusing. It is a horrid misuse of the language. The indefinite article should not be used for definite subjects. Is the language more important than the people who use it? Yes. People die and are forgotten. The language lives on. Yes, the language evolves, but evolving into a crippled form is deleterious. Invent new words.

Death is good because it is the only way to get rid of this bullshit called life.

“Dr. Watson,” House, M.D. as a Mary Sue.

The New Civil War starts now. Any time now. I have my gas mask and other tools at hand. Do you?

When the Red states can no longer feed from the Blue states through Federal funding, who is going to vote for the Republicans? Is Trump trying to turn the whole country Democrat? I doubt he has read The Devil’s Advocate.

Trump won not because of the strength of his supporters but because of the cowardice of his critics.

If MAGA want this country destroyed, let it be destroyed, as long as it destroys MAGA and Trump.

An historic moment, being able to witness the most corrupt political administration in human history.

Make Airheads Go Away.

Elections and protests are not going to stop Trump and his evil minions. The press is dead. Trump, Musk, Miller, Vought, Vance, and everyone else in the scumbag theft army need to be found lying in their driveways. Political slavery can only be ended with political slavery. Exterminate the slave owners and free the slaves. Is it possible this is what they want? Are the neoconservatives a suicide cult?

2025: the year the United States ended. Fuck Trump.

Even if you don’t like it, you change the world where you are when you are there. You always have an effect. The world of tomorrow is different than it would have been without you here today. Be graceful and take into account that no one can tell the future. The world swings on a word. For good or for ill, each of us changes everything every day. Marvel at the complexity and relax with the simplicity. Nothing is every all your fault and it is not always about you, only that sometimes it is. Learn what it meant and move on. You are important even when you are not paying attention. Everything around you is important, too. Stay open. As my old man used to say, keep your knees loose and be ready to jump.

We aren’t going to make it. I mean Earth. We aren’t going to make it. It’s over. In a couple of years the place will look like Mars only with broken buildings. You see Gaza? Take away any people and that will be the Earth. [Youtube censored this comment, probably because of the word Gaza. Youtube is a tool of Fascist corporations.]

This constantly having to eat is annoying.

Trump himself said that he who defends his country is not breaking any law. Go, defend your country.

Half of the United States is living in the Third World, unable to afford to own a house, a car, higher education for their children, or any medical procedure beyond the simplest routine. US citizens living from paycheck to paycheck unable to accumulate savings are in the Third World. Politicians promises on both sides are corporate lies that will keep the ordinary citizen in poverty and debt forever. This is the Third World. This must be stopped by hook or by crook.

It would be better if the CIA and MI5 had not overthrown Iran’s democracy in 1953 under orders from British Petroleum. It would be better if the US did not support Israel’s genocide of Palestinians modeled on our own genocide of native people and enslavement of African people. Our country has always been authoritarian, but just toward other countries and to our own citizens who are not white. Trump is evil but our government is historically hypocritical and opportunistic. We must clean our entire house, not just Trump.

When white racists say “colorblindness” they mean the assertion that anything other than white does not exist.

Think of a ruined Earth. Dust and rubble and broken buildings. Burned forests. Polluted oceans. Silence. Wind. That is Donald Trump’s legacy.

One time I had twenty-six cats in a four room cottage. They were healthy and fixed and fed well. It was a koi pond filled with cats.

“Breakfast is the most important meal of the day,” say the people who sell breakfast food.
“Life is pain, Highness. Anyone who says different is selling something,” says the Dread Pirate Roberts. I tend to trust the man who doesn’t try to hide his true nature. That includes Petyr Baelish, though I would not have forgotten to not trust him.

There is an L-CARS screen in Star Trek (TNG Ep “Transfigurations”) that looks like a screen in Donkey Kong.

That there are still black shows, channels, movies, clubs, and a history month imply without a doubt that everything else is white. Racism is alive and well and living in the United States of America.

Stupid people being taken advantage of by con men is not comedy. It only makes me angry. I don’t know why it’s been a staple of comedy for a century. I have to change the channel, it makes me so annoyed. What is wrong with people that they find that funny?

Games developers will have second thoughts about using extrapolative software rather than people, since a Federal judge just determined that “A.I. produced works” cannot be copyrighted. Any game developed with “A.I.” automatically becomes public domain, completely uncopyrighted.

During the 1980s downloading a single picture file could take an hour at 300 baud. Today, an entire season of a television series can be downloaded in five minutes. How can anyone get the message that instant gratification is deleterious to wise thinking?

“Those were gunshots!”
Oh, thank goodness! I thought it was a really loud knife. That would have been terrifying.

I spent one summer reading The Cornelius Chronicles and listening to David Bowie’s Low and Station To Station. That period was otherworldly.

I had one chance. I should have pulled the trigger. Instead I chose a hope in hell. I never learn.

Every action of Trump’s administration just pushes the US closer to Open Season on Republicans.

Television is generally written for below average mentality because that is where most of the money comes from.

The human species are creatures that value packaging products in order to promote sales over preventing that packaging from having negative impact on the environment they all need to remain alive and well. A very stupid species.

Laudable detective work, but why not recompile the game for 16-bit? Or even 64-bit? This is kind of like training to become the world’s buggy whip champion. Then again, life is completely meaningless, so I guess whatever little ruses one can delude oneself into believing to keep from eating a bullet wouldst smell as sweet.

The rich are cowards because they think they have the most to lose. Everyone poorer is the enemy.

The only crime is not how undeniably right Keith Olbermann always is but how history somehow refuses to change course away from the precipice.

William Shakespeare came forward in time and watched this and it became inspiration for A Comedy of Errors. There is no Swedish translation for “RTFM” obviously. This video is extraordinary evidence that Pewdiepie deserves a spot in Trump’s cabinet. He is a billionaire who doesn’t know what he is doing which is how Trump makes himself look smart.

Americans were stupid enough to elect Donald Trump twice. This is what you get. It’s what you deserve. This is the price of democracy. You get the government you deserve. You made your bed. Now sleep in it. All anyone can do now is either gloat or complain. No one is doing anything to stop it because anything that can be done is completely illegal. Hope you all love this hell you have sculpted for yourselves. It’s going to be this way from now on. Just shut up and drive.

A hallmark of the asshole is them believing they can accumulate enough wealth to buy their way out of being an asshole. In reality, all they do is publicize over and over again how doomed they are to be and remain and asshole until the day the worms eat their rotting corpse. Asshole-ism goes all the way to the bone marrow. I’m talking about you Trump, and Musk, and everyone who elected you, and all the corporate Democrats who did nothing to stop any of this. The assholes win because they believe in winning at any cost, including losing anything resembling humanity so that in the end what survives is everything that doesn’t deserve to survive. Like Donald Trump. Give it another twenty or thirty years and Earth will be as dead as Mars. Like the man said in The Andromeda Strain, “That’s some system! It even buries our mistakes!”

All this modern so-called music which is nothing but non-musicians twiddling knobs as internal timers play sequences over and over and over and over and over to brain numbing effect which is the goal, to numb the brains that gave up thinking long ago or are too young and stupid to realize they never learned to think and never will, it all reminds me of the Pater Noster scene in Metropolis, men on the brink of exhaustian and death laboring to keep an uncaring device working though it causes nothing but pain for millions only for the benefit of a few rich motherfuckers at the top of the world. This music is not club or dance or rave or whatever the fuck stupidity. It is Pater Noster music, for a generation of mind slaves while the billionaires rejoice in their luck of finally making the lower 99% stupid enough to fall for all the lies. Welcome to the last decades of life on Earth. 2050: The Final Exinction. Next slide will be Earth as Mars II.

I just submitted a couple of requests to the Post Office web site for two books that were reported delivered but are not in or around my mail box. TWO MINUTES LATER I get a call from the local post office to help with the problem. I am still in shock.

Name one reason why Donald Trump and all his minions should not be shot on sight.

The only way to get through life without suffering is to ignore everything that is bad. If you can’t do that, then suffer and die. Ignorance really is bliss.

Negotiating with the Republican dictators is over. This is war. They will not survive.

Most Police look forward to living in a police state because they think they will be the bosses they deserve to be, even though they will only be the guard dogs.

All of politics today is preaching to the choir. No one on either side is listening to anything the other side has to say. Blatant lies are accepted as truth for the sake of expediency. Republicans have become new Nazis who are so afraid of the future they are willing to throw people into concentration camps to prevent it from happening. We have to stop them before they throw us into the camps. With the police and military as thugs on their side, all I can see is piles of Americans dead from trying to defend their freedom. Will there even be a country to live in after four years of this? Will World War III start and end in a day? Will I get to feel my brain bake in my skull? Just so fuckers like Musk can live rich in his fortress? Holy shit, how did we get here?

With all this Nazi America shit, the white people think they are winning finally. All they are doing is digging their own graves. This is the last hurrah of whiteness.

If you look up the phrase “sniveling little shit” in the dictionary, there you will find a picture of Ben Shapiro.

Imagine someone buying a guitar that can play itself and then standing there and letting the guitar play while expecting to be recognized as a guitarist. Now, imagine someone letting a synthesizer play with a sequencer and arpeggiator while they stand there and twiddle some knobs and maybe press a key now and then, and expect to be recognized as a musician. Imagine that. Yeah, that puts Keith Emerson to shame, that does.

I just heard about NESARA on Rebecca Watson’s channel. I firmly believe now that the purpose of the Internet is to continually show me that I will never be ashamed enough to be a member of the human species. There will always be a new item of news that will show me that I ain’t seen nothing yet. I think it was Sam Clemens who said to never underestimate the depth of human stupidity. Also to never argue with a fool because he will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience. As the lady said in Fifth of July, Honey, never tell people they aren’t what they think they are. What’s the profit?

Blame the rapidly being disassembled education system in the US. When my father was in school in the Forties he had a teacher who could read Chaucer in Middle English. Apparently current Americans cannot identify a single country on an unmarked map of the world. That’s sublimity to ignorance in three generations. Way to go, reactionaries. You have officially prevented the future from happening. Now no one will have one.

Are you effing kidding me? Either this column is crass sarcasm, emphasis on crass, or someone leaning one leg into a MAGA tent was accidentally allowed into the Guardian. I mean, someone who makes a career of apparently never letting go of the past? There will always be money in new Sherlock Holmes stories but measurably zero literary value. If you’ll excuse me, I have a few Samuel Delany volumes to peruse.

The human race will remain stupid until all the stupid people die out and no one knows how long that will take.

da Vinci made most of his money designing war machines for Italian despots. Michelangelo was a rake and a drunk who probably preferred boys. If you are looking for saints to admire you’re on the wrong effing planet. As long as minorities have to wait for their own day or month to celebrate, they will remain nothing but minorities, and equality will remain a delusion. Get rid of whiteness first of all. And, if you are in a bad relationship and no one is holding a gun to your head, who is to blame? Their power? Or your weakness? And just remember, Hitler started out as an artist. Had he been more successful, maybe World War II never would have happened. We’ll never know.

Opinions are like anuses. Everyone has one and they all stink.

Picasso once painted Georgia O’Keefe’s portrait. She seemed displeased, saying, “I don’t look like that.” Picasso replied, “You will.”

Joe Rogan has always been a valid political commentator the way George Clooney is a medical expert. The problem is that celebrity is mistakenly equated with legitimacy and validity. Rich famous people are always smarter and right, until everyone finds out how stupid they are in real life. But no one ever finds out because they are star struck. Imagine if lying were a crime. Wow. The world would have to be one big jail with about ten people left on the outside. Meanwhile, David Pakman is the Spock of online commentary. No one is more reasonable or rational, except maybe Amy Goodman. I would love to witness David on Democracy Now!

Why is life so nice to me, to give me such aggravation?

Music is the opposite of randomness. If anything attempted to be musical is based on randomness it is mindless and therefor inhuman. Music must be human or it is garbage.

Picasso once painted Georgia O’Keefe’s portrait. She seemed displeased, saying, “I don’t look like that.” Picasso replied, “You will.”

The Addams Family was ruined when some pea brained incompetent no talent nitwit decided that Thing should be a disembodied hand rather than a transdimensional mystery. I can’t watch any modern Addams Family without revulsion.

Corporate executives and shareholders should be required to live downstream of their factory waste outlets.

Dictatorship is the final form of the patriarchy.

Here is a major problem with the world. Making a living does not involve providing a good or service for people and getting paid for it. Making a living is finding people to get money from and then coming up with something that will convince them to pay for it. The purpose of work is not to make the world better for everyone. The purpose of work is to get rich even if it means peddling poison or killing people professionally. The purpose of living should not be accumulating wealth. It should be increasing the value of being alive for everyone. This is why human civilization is failing. Me me me instead of us us us. The only way to retain civilization is a complete reeducation of the species.

I don’t know why people listen to so-called music today and act as if they enjoy it. They bob their heads like a plaster dog on the dashboard of a car on a bumpy road. That’s what this noise reminds me of. Twelve miles of bad road. How are young poeple’s heads wired today that this is what they call music? Endless percussion and bleeps and blips and squeaks and chirps all timed mathematically or randomly (which is just a different mathematic) but it does nothing for me. Zero emotional impact. There is no message. There is no mood. I get as much from today’s music as I would from some hick preacher prattling on about some god. It’s pointless. There is nothing there. Empty noise for empty heads. DEVO was right. Devolution. Too late for satire.

Countries that are constantly expecting to be attacked have done something to deserve it.

During Donald Rump’s wave of hot air before all of Congress this month, the way all the Republicans stood up at the end of each of his sentences leads me to believe they have all had electrodes installed in their anuses. They receive a shock at the appearance of each period in the teleprompter, involuntarily propelling them to stand bolt upright and clap their hands in agony. It’s a lot like Barron Harkonen’s heart plugs only less messy. Elongated Musk wants to upgrade those electrodes to brain chips in all of us. No, really, we have to shoot these bastards. There is no other solution remaining.

The Who are the greatest Rock band. Rock’n’Roll is dead. Long live Rock.

War is not good for business. It costs too much, but not for those profiting from it. War must be made unprofitable.

I just read about the open ticket lottery for the Annual White House Egg Roll in the White House Newsletter. This is a golden opportunity to rid ourselves of the scourge. We only need to substitute for a few of the children a highly trained squad of Pygmy Special Forces armed with razor sharp table spoons. The Trumps, Vances, Musks, and Johnsons will be there. They won’t suspect a thing until it is too late. We can save America.

The deaths of the Hackmans and dog will haunt me. She was taking care of him but who was taking care of her? No one. They had no one. No friends. No one even concerned enough to call. That poor dog dying alone in a cage. At least I am thoroughly alone. When I go, I am not going to be taking anyone else with me. How grim.

It is not just Trump, though. The US Government has been anti-democratic and colonial for centuries. We created half the dictatorships in the world. We have toppled democracies to increase the profitability of our corporations. The USA is the criminal empire of the world and has been for two hundred years. Four hundred if you count slavery. Five hundred if you count the native genocide. Everything happening now, from Kent State to the World Trade Center to Trump, is the chickens coming home to roost. We as a nation deserve to get kicked in the balls for being bastards.

That is the worst crime. Doge was something we all liked. Now, it’s just another synonym for Nazi. Poor doggy. He’s in the dump with Pepe. Frigging reactionaries ruin everything.

They give the Pentagon a trillion dollars a year, and that’s the most corrupt and wasteful organization on Earth after religion.

Bill Murray is basically the new state of cool. Bill Murray is James Dean only without the car accident. Bill Murray knows when not to act, which much more important than knowing when to act.

Have you seen the furry mouse with woolly mammoth genes? Everybody wants one. They are the tribbles of the 21st Century.

Donald Trump is all about straight white men owning everyone else as slaves. That is why he was elected and that is the kind of country and world he is trying to build. A straight white male world otherwise populated by slaves. Peachy.

Humans are without doubt the most dimwitted geniuses on Earth.

So, has the GOP stopped to wonder how long it will be before a hundred thousand enraged Americans storm the white House and lynch Donald Trump and Elon Musk?

Donald Trump, would-be dictator, is just an idiot begging for death at this point. As he continues with this mad strangulation of everything that everyone recognizes as America, someone will assassinate him. Not if; when.

Trump should drive his new Tesla everywhere. If we are lucky and the Tesla performs as expected, it will get rid of him for us and Musk will be blamed.

Unfortunately, the US Presidency is not idiot proof. But, under threat of Trump, Greenlanders have moved one step closer to independence from Denmark and that mistreatment. I doubt Greenland will elect to become the vassal of an American dictator any time soon. The more burrs under Trump’s saddle, the sooner he will be thrown.

Karoline Leavitt, LLC… lying little cunt. a.k.a. Leavitt to beaver. Fuck Karoline Leavitt.

The most tragic victim of Elon Musk is Nikola Tesla, whose truly world-shaping genius was previously only marred by stories of questionable eccentricity.

Poppy is still a thing?

Just thought of something: using a drone to drop Molotov cocktails on Tesla cars and charging stations. Really ramp up what freedom fighters are already doing at risk to their own life and liberty.

Please, Ms. Harris, stay prepared to run again in 2028. You are the only candidate for President who openly used the word genocide with regard to Gaza. You are the most open and honest candidate for the job. Keep Mr. Walz on speed dial. The great bulk of other candidates are either dangerous or are amoral opportunists. I am vaguely concerned with, if you will pardon a slight criticism, what might be considered a personal alliance to the Vatican, but that is something for you to consider with regard to the holding of American public office. It can be ignored as long as you remind yourself who anyone as President should be serving: all of the American People. I want you to be President. At this point, seeing what I see on the news and in the podcasts every day, you could run this minute and very probably win. Hopefully, if there are still elections four years from now, you will be ready to give it your all. Thanks for your time. Good luck and more power to you.

Forget Iran. Iran is so used to being screwed over by USA since the 1940s that it’s water off of a duck’s back. It’s Canada that Trump needs to worry about. A Canadian wetware team can drive here.

I smoked for 37 years until I was suffocating and then quit nine years ago. The smell of cigarette smoke makes me nauseous now. Once in a while I wish there were a way to feel like I did when lighting up, without lighting up. Not vaping. It’s not the same at all. It’s only that feeling that I miss once in a while. There was sustenance in it. Perseverance. Maybe even some kind of power. That is the only thing I miss about it now. It would help in the low moments. I don’t think anything else can provide it. I guess it’s like missing someone who is gone. You just learn to live without it. Thankfully life does not last forever.

I have never quite understood gay pride. Of what is there to be proud? I don’t find myself being particularly proud of anything. I’m not a person who is elevated by pride, I suppose. Also there is the old saying Pride comes before a fall, the definition of the Greek word hubris. So, what is the source of gay people’s pride? Are they proud of enjoying having an erect penis in their rectum? I have never considered any particular sexual act to be anything embodying pride. It’s just another slightly disgusting bodily function. I would very much appreciate someone explaining how pride applies in that case. It is a puzzlement.

When you are young and have all the time in the world there is no patience. Everything has to happen now. When you get old and time is running out, you finally learn the value of patience. No wonder the human species is so screwed up. Everything is backwards.

Somewhere in the middle of 2025, the USA will see its own version of the French Reign of Terror come to pass. I am predicting at least a hundred thousand American dead at the hands of Donald Trump before he is torn down and beheaded.

Will the US military side with Donald Trump against the American people? The whole Portland protest situation proved that Donnie can find some men in uniform who love kidnapping and beating their fellow Americans. There are always men who will beat their own wife and children and love doing it. Will the entire military side with Donnie and gun down their fellow citizens when the crowds come for Donnie’s head? I guess we will have to wait and see how that turns out.

1.2v batteries are inadequate for something exacting as a CO detector. My home detector started to chirp indicating low battery voltage or current. I removed the original alkaline batteries and tried NiMH freshly charged. The detector went back to chirping. I had to purchase new alkaline batteries to get the detector to work properly again. In other instance, such as in my computer mouse, the NiMH batteries, regardless of brand, have lost most of their charge lifespan. I remember when charged batteries would last for months in a mouse. Now they hardly last a couple of weeks. My respect for rechargeable battery technology has waned. I am beginning to think it is more of a scam. I have read about the complicated mess of making sure the batteries are not discharged below such and such level and to recharge at above some specific level to guaranty maximum lifespan. Having to babysit batteries that already cost a lot but provide no easy way to monitor them makes me feel I am being used. I still use the rechargeables but any future purchases will be alkaline. Life is short and I don’t have time to mollycoddle batteries as if they have diabetes.

The biggest psychopath in Warhammer is the player, who enjoys the endless agony and murder of everything around him. The Trump supporters are the worst.

During that notorious Donald Trump speech to the joint houses, with JD Vance and Mike Johnson within feet of him, no one did anything about it. Our one chance to cut off the heads of the serpent, and no one did anything. Democracy gives the people what they deserve.

The Democrats could not deliver the one thing that the Trump voters were hungry for: White racism. Trump promised an end to anyone who is not White. That’s what everyone elected him to provide. The USA is a racist empire and there are enough Americans united together under their White hatred of dark skinned people to elect the stupid, loathsome, racist, child molesting monster who would represent them. Very few people are saying this these days. Trump was not elected on the economy. He was elected by the White racists who hate black people. That’s all.

Everything wrong with the Donald Regime was covered by a Twilight Zone episode. Rod Serling warned us about all of it and no one listened.

Donald will only declare disaster assistance for ailing billionaires. “Nero” Trump putters around while America burns. (Nero was actually a better emperor than Trump can dream. Nero was the loser and history is always written by the winners.)

What did Uncle Fester always yell when running in with his blunderbuss?

Everybody should send personal messages to Donald via Whitehouse dot gov. Let him know how you feel each and every day. Make sure he gets a million messages a day. [Youtube censored this post repeatedly.]

Donald Trump is suicidal. His every move seems dedicated to enraging people enough so that one of them will kill him. Donald has a death wish. How long must this go on?

The Republican Party should change their mascot from an elephant to a kangaroo. The elephant never forgets. The Hindu god Ganesha is the source of learning, memory, science, justice, and wisdom, everything that the current Republican Party rejects. By adopting the kangaroo, they can better symbolize the new Republican sense of justice in a land consisting only of kangaroo courts, from the Supreme Kangaroo Court all the way down.

There is a Technos Acxel going for $20,000. It doesn’t happen often but I do wish I were wealthy.

The phrases “Donald Trump” and “drive-by” are always seeming to get pushed together in my mind. That needs to happen.

American has become American’t.

Anyone who kills Donald Trump and any of his minions will be remembered as a hero.

So-called “A.I.” (extrapolative software, nothing more) still cannot understand context. When a “narrator” in a video says “live” (as in “will it live”) when it should say “live” (as in “is it live”) then that software is as stupid as the idiots who believe they are fooling anyone. Half of Youtube is now stupid videos made solely by computer for consumption by idiots. When everything is irrelevant then no one will be left to turn it around.

Modern music is like a picture puzzle. It is bits and pieces of other people’s work hacked apart and together again by hacks who produce nothing that resembles music and who have no business being called musicians which is why, probably, they have adopted the nomenclature of producer, which is pretty much the same as a cow being the producer of fertilizer and methane. Modern music is shit and fart noises.

If you can’t afford it, steal it. Enlightened capitalism.

Trump has accomplished one thing: no other President has done everything so wrongly so quickly and with such pig ignorant glee. We are in the hands of a madman.

Nothing is free. It isn’t free if it costs you time. You may not have to pay money but each advertisement you have to sit through is your irreplaceable time spent. Nothing is free. They are eating your life.

If the Democrats can arrange for Jimmy Kimmel to be in the White House late at night, so that Donald wakes up and sees Jimmy just standing there staring at him, and Donald yells but Jimmy says nothing, but when the Secret Service agents burst in, Jimmy is gone. Do that night after night, I guarantee Donald will be in Arkham Asylum by the end of the month. Then you do the same thing with JD Vance, only he’s being followed around by a small couch. Once he’s locked away, then only little Mikey Johnson will be President Pro-Tem, and a Democrat will be Vice President. Too bad it will be Schumer and not Schiff, but that will save us until the Midterms. Or they could just IMPEACH TRUMP again.

Paul Weiss set up Trump for a fall. They promise to provide legal representation. I don’t think they promised it would work. Why do something that will cost them money when they can take their time and undermine the enemy behind his back right under his nose?

Donald Trump wants us to love the pain he is giving us. It truly is 1984.

Mr. Smith can go to Washington all he wants today. It no longer helps. Call the Republicans corrupt criminals to their faces. They don’t care. They have the police and the military behind them. They will get away with everything because they don’t care. The time for words is over.

All the pain I feel will never equal the pain I have caused.

I really, really, really, really like The Electric State. I don’t know what’s wrong with these other reviewers. The big difference between the “pro” critics and the general audience I think shows that a lot of pro critics are just minions of billionaires who are afraid of another movie that shows that billionaires are the real enemies of mankind. Real people seem to like this movie a lot. Take “A.I.” and “Surrogates”, two highly underrated films, mix them with the artwork of Simon Stålenhag, and out comes a charming fable of a world we never got to see. But, here we are in this world laboring under the titanic incompetence of Orange Hitler, and this movie provides an important lesson. Perhaps never is a good time to throw the people you don’t like into concentration camps, just because they demand their freedom and liberty as living beings. Maybe The Electric State is spitting in the face of Donald Trump trying to turn us all against one another. Maybe this movie is just the fable for our age that we need to remind us that being human isn’t how you are built, but how you act towards others. God knows that clown in the White House wouldn’t know how to act like a human being with both hands and a flashlight. Don’t read the other reviews. Just watch The Electric State. And buy the books. They are beautiful. Thanks for your time.

Stewart Lee wrote an article in the Guardian about America’s rejection of Trump’s rejection of DEI, and how he once wrote an article for the Sunday Times (of London) about the then boycott against the Edingurgh Comedy Festival because of Nestle sponsorship, and how the Times turned that balanced article into an anti-liberal propaganda piece. I would have commented (but commenting was closed already) that what was he expecting from the Times? Which are so conservative that they have toll gates on their anuses to charge their own feces for permission to be excreted.

All the President’s men and women this time around are fucking morons, because the fucking moron President doesn’t want to be near anyone who is actually smarter than him. This is who you elected to run the country, you fucking moron MAGA dipshits. Feel good about yourselves? You have destroyed everything with your white racism. Assholes.

Watching the concept of the United States dissolve in the corruption of Donnie’s puddle of mental piss.

The Republicans have been insane at least since Gary Cooper starred in Meet John Doe in 1941.

The Trump Regime seems to be reaching normality in most places I have read around the world. World leaders and news agencies are just accepting that the Dick Tater is how it is and that’s just the way it is. Was it that way in 1936? Charles Lindbergh sure helped Hitler a lot.

2025 isn’t 1789. Every police station and sheriff’s office has an armored car and machine guns. Yes, we could revolt, and Trump might glance up at his TV at the mounting piles of bodies as he texts about how unfair his life is. How many Americans have to die when the majority of survivors will be the ones who don’t lift a finger? The MAGAs and NIMBYs? The Federal offices that are still open are heavily armed. They may not know why and may not be committed enough to bother fighting back, but if civil war breaks out, you can bet the billionaires won’t be paying the price. It’ll just be a video game to them.

It’s all because as far as White people are concerned, it’s all about them. It’s a White universe and anyone who is not cis White male Christian is not welcome. Jon Stewart said it. Why can’t everyone? The problem is White people.

I could never sell any of my equipment. I have in the past but that was heartbreaking. I only wonder how it will all fare after I am gone. I should arrange to have it left to someone I can trust.

Since raising barracades with the students doesn’t work any more (see 1789) since the police have armored cars and machine guns and are all white racist swine, exactly what do we do about all this short of general rebellion and guerilla warfare city to city? Are corporate boycotts going to do anything? Can we hold out until the Midterms? Will there even be Midterms? Or will it just be martial law in a couple of months? I’ve been pricing long range hunting rifles, myself.

There is no longer any legal way to stop Donnie and his robots. The legal ways of ending this dictatorship disappeared in November. There can be nothing but highly illegal responses to remove Trump from office. That’s all that’s left, because our elected officials do not have any interest in defending us any further. What happens next will be terrifying.

Saturday Night Live should have a cold open in which Donald Trump reveals that he ascended to the Presidency and controls the world through the use of his Death Note. Trump is just as much an uncaring psychopath as Light Yagami. (I just read there is a Death Note one shot manga that depicted Trump bidding for the Death Note against the other leaders of the world, only to reject it after winning because of a new seller-and-buyer-die rule. That is completely inaccurate and out of character, since Donald Trump believes the rules never apply to him, even cosmic rules, so the writer of that manga failed utterly.)

Whiteness is the enemy. No white people. No black people. Only people.

Jeremiah Wright was absolutely right. Everything bad that happens to America is just chickens coming home to roost. Everyone hates Americans because we deserve it. We earned it.

I tried watching Death Note again but I got sick of it at episode six and just watched the end to see Light fail. As a mystery it is the usual poorly written pap in that it severely depends on the stupidity of its victims, and that depends on the gullibility of its audience. Further watching would only make me angry. I dread the thought of even talking about it with anyone since it would only degenerate into a pointless argument. I was hoping for more but the author of Death Note is not Agatha Christie calibre.

The world is full of stupid people waiting to be killed and is run by psychopaths with opportunity.

When you realize the truth, you also realize that it is only yours to realize. You cannot tell it to others with any hope of teaching anyone anything. They won’t believe you, or worse. Everyone must come to the truth in their own way. Mostly never. Realizing that is also part of the truth. Some people never learn.

How’s this for DEI fuck-the-chumps: No cis white man may be elected to any office until all legally recognized races, sexes, genders, creeds, colors, and religions or lack thereof are proportionately represented in all political bodies throughout the United States. That hopefully would give Trump and company an aneurysm that will bury them.

Killing opponents not during battle is assassination. Our military have become high tech assassins, not soldiers.

Donald Trump ignores judges who contradict his commands. Perhaps it is time to ignore the laws that protect the President/dictator from assassination.

Adult Wednesday Addams is so much better than Wednesday. Typical of Hollywood to reject the sublime and invest in the property that only represented arousal to all the pederasts that finance the place. I can’t wait until the place slides under the waves.

You come into this world with nothing and you go out with nothing. Was it worth it?

I can hardly wait for EDM to go away forever but am terrified of what will fill in the empty spaces. I will always still be listening to Pink Floyd and Alan Parsons Project.

With the Republicans in hiding, it is doubtless that the Midterms will turn the entirety of Congress Democrat, and that will end Trump’s power forever.

Deporting people without prosecution is just shutting them up. It is an act of cowardice by a criminal organization.

If you advocate for arming murderers with firearms then you are a murderer. We need a complete moratorium on the sale of firearms to civilians until we have national legislation that will prevent murderers from obtaining firearms. Every child that is killed by firearms is a victim of corrupt legislation.

If you meet a person who complains about immigrants, ask them which native American tribe they call their own.

Josh Johnson is the 21st Century Aesop.

MAGA Trump voters who were fired by DOGE are full of sorrow and regret their vote. They are getting threats and assault from MAGA maniacs. They saw the same Trump as everyone who voted against him. They do not deserve sympathy. Help, yes. We all need help now. But not sympathy. It’s like, I can respect the rights of a Trump supporter, but I have no respect for the Trump supporter. I respect the individual rights of anyone without having to respect them as a person. I can respect the office of the President while despising Donald Trump. I can respect the Chancellory of Germany while being revolted by Adolf Hitler. I will shed no tears for people who voted themselves into oblivion when they had every opportunity to vote otherwise. Everyone knows Trump was elected on a platform of white supremacism. That deserves neither respect nor sympathy. There was no other reason to vote for Trump. Harris represented fiscal responsibility and social support infinitely more than Trump ever even hinted that he was willing to be. People swallowed his lies because he was the white man in the election. Then they fall victim to his madness and stupidity, and they think they deserve sympathy. Grovel. You’re going to have to earn your way into society, the lot of you. You built this new Nazi America, vote by vote. Now you’re going to have to work extra hard to clean it up.

The k’s aren’t silent, just contracted. It’s those two S’s in Musk that you have to watch out for. Elon MuϞϞk. (Re: joke about America with three k’s in We Gon Be All Right.)

Paul Weiss & Co. promised legal representation pro bono. They said nothing about attempting to win. What if Paul Weiss loses all their cases for Trump? Representing someone doesn’t guarantee any success. Gee, sorry Donald. Maybe we’ll do better next time. No! You look good in orange. Really. It complements your complexion.

Tomato. Tomahto. Gazpacho. Gestapo. Let’s call the whole thing off.

If the politicians take away our ballots, that will leave us with only the one alternative, bullets. The cowardly jealous politicians will have brought it on themselves.

Nobody who is capable of stopping or even merely interrupting Trump is doing anyting to that end because the powers that be actually want America to become the white dictatorship they have all secretly dreamed it should become. No one is going to fight for equality in America because there has never been equality in America and they are damned well sure there will never be equality in America. The only way the ideal America equal for all will com into existence is when wheiteness is destroyed. Whiteness must be eradicated like any virulent deadly disease whether people want it or not. As long as whiteness exists America will be a country of slavery. Whiteness must be destroyed.

The first step to ending whiteness is to end political privacy. If someone wants to shut you up or hurt you or threaten you or kill you for trying to end whiteness, make sure you are wearing a real time live feed body camera that is recording to the Internet and which will send the last images of your life around the world. Make sure that the bad guys know that everything you do is in broad daylight in front of a huge crowd. End political privacy and the eyes of the world become your shield. Then you can seriously work on ending whiteness.

The United States is being taken over by a mob and Donald Trump is their figurehead. I just had a nightmare about it, about being at a house where the mob was working and I was there for nothing in particular but I had to get out so I did. When I got to my car there was a guy grousing in the car behind mine about the bodies he had to get rid of. I see there are bodies in the trunk of my car and a wounded kid in the back seat, and I have to get out. I drag him out of the back seat, but then I wake up, and I’m lying in bed thinking how I would have to get to the State Police because they’re less likely to be on the take, and turn all this in. I need to get the address and drive out of there. I’m still spooked by this nightmare, and it feels like this is what is happening to America right now. Trump and MAGA are a murderous mob and anybody who’s in the way is going to get murdered. That feels like the fear that is going through the whole country right now, that we’re all going to be murdered if we don’t do what Trump says. We are all in so much danger.

Yewnahtid Stayts uv Murca, bessed polytishuns munny kin bah. Thank ya, parthide man. Keep them darkies in they place.

If our elected representatives will not protect the law, it becomes an argument between the one with the most money and the one with the best aim.

Every attempt to make Donnie look approachable and rational is another nail in the coffin of the United States.

Nothing will save us from the bastards running the world while they live. That only leaves one solution.

Current electronic music is just noise with no thought behind it. Probably what the inside of Donald Trump’s head sounds like. The world is going mental.

There is no volcano big enough to fit all the Republican scumbags and the Democrat cowards who enable them. Revolution 2.0 is coming.

The external world has become too stupid to deserve my attention.

Compression, Auto-Tune, and Re-Mastering should be uninvented. Donald Trump should be uninvented, too. Fat chance.

The only terrorists I can see in the US now are Donald Trump and everyone who supports him. When are we going to outlaw the Republican Party as a terrorist organization? More and more Americans are going to decide that if the politicians and the law won’t protect us from Trump and his cryptofascists, then they are going to have to do it themselves.

I am at present too fatigued to want to listen further to radicals explain in excruciating detail how stupid reactionaries are. It’s all there is in Youtube beside reactionaries saying the same thing about radicals when the reactionaries aren’t making up complete lies to tell their fanbase when no one else listens to them. I just don’t want to go there any more. It’s all preaching to the choir. Amid the tail wagging the dog. We’re caught between the tail and the dog, and you know what is right there, between the tail an the dog. Yes, the asshole, where we are.

Economics 101: Clever people feed off of stupid people. Only a tiny handful of truly ingenious people invent things.

Life is not locked in place. Life is a response to environmental conditions. Guaranteeing that a particular species continue existing is like wishing for time to stand still. Species exist only in so far as they function within their environment. If the environment becomes untennable to that species, the species must either mutate into a tennable form or die out. Mutation occurs continuously, with never a guarantee that it will be lock step with the demands of the environment. Only humans seem to labor under the delusion that the environment can be wished to stand still in order to keep the animal and plant kingdoms unchanged from human expectation. Humans are still not ready to understand that they are no more important than any other species. Only, more destructive.

Does Israel have a right to exist? Do the Unites States have a right to exist? Does the Holy Roman Empire have a right to exist? Well, it no longer does, unless it is considered to now be the Roman Catholic church as a descendant, in the same way that birds can be considered the descendants of dinosaurs. The question must be asked, what is a nation? Simply, a nation or country is a group of people who agree to claim a space of land to be theirs and that they will defend against intrusion by others up to and including violence. The initial question then becomes does anyone have a right to violence? There are two instances in which violence occurs, as a response to nonviolent behavior and as a response to violent behavior. One is the initiation of violence, the other defense against violence. The former should be forbidden in any civilized society, and the latter understood and accepted but hopefully with trepidation, as violence should only be the last resort for survival. The October 7 attack on Israel, which may well have been engineered or at least encouraged by Benjamin Netanyahu by his diminishing the border defenses in taking troops away to the West Bank to attack Palestinians so that Jews from Long Island could live in their homes, was well over by October 8. There was no more need for devensive violence. Yet, here is Israel eighteen months later still “defending” itself from attack by dropping 2,000 pound bombs on civilian apartment buildings, razing schools and hospitals, murdering unarmed health care workers, and shooting children in the head by sniper by the hundred. No, this Israel that shows its despotic face has surrendered the right to exist. They have become a despotic state of forced oppression, the way the United States has been a despotic state of forced oppression since the very first murder or relocation of a native person by a European invader. The only reason that a country has any right to exist is in how easily it can kill you for disagreeing.

I find the problem not to be in being watched, which we are all the time anyway, but in not being concerned with the intent of the watcher. I suspect I should be more concerned. I am suspicious of my own part in the evolving landscape of being.

If white people are the masters of the universe then they got there only by standing on the necks of black people.

Donald Trump telling Zelenskyy that the US will help Ukraine but only if Ukraine surrenders half of their natural resources is like a guy saying he will paint your house but only if he can fuck your daughter as much as he wants until he’s tired of her. Donald Trump is now discovering that he is not the only housepainter in town, and he is throwing a hissy fit by levying tariffs against the entire world, because they all laughed at him. There is a dangerous lunatic in the White House and no one will evict him. I am afraid some individual citizen will take the initiative which would be the death knell for the rule of law.

If 38% of voters will never stop supporting Donald Trump, then, maybe… eugenics? isn’t such a… terrible? thing?… after all? Or maybe we just rebuild the education system to be a thousand times better than it ever was so we no longer produce stupid adults. It’s either eugenics or education. That’s the only substantial way to fight dictatorship, and education doesn’t involve being a dictator in the first place. Teach people to think. We may have to get rid of the corporations, first, though. They are the ones doing all this evil shit.

All politicians owned by Benjamin Netanyahu deserve what all traitors deserve: a short drop and a quick stop.

Ron Vara. America is being destroyed by Lord Voldemort.

People in television talk shows and news interview shows are always glancing at the same spot as they speak freely. They are reading from teleprompters. Everything on television is scripted. Everything. Wag the dog.

You can’t buy the kind of comedy that the Trump Regime is delivering. It can only be brought about by intense swindling and fraud.

I wonder if it ever occurred to Alec Baldwin that the Rust shooting might have been arranged by Trump. Trump himself implied that the shooting might be intentional. Every reactionary accusation is a confession. Those people can never stop talking about themselves. I see an SNL cold open in which Trump in pantomime sneaks onto the set of a movie shooting, opens a box marked “dummies”, takes a bullet from the box, takes another bullet from his pocket, and puts it in the box, then walks away grinning in his Trumpiest ‘possum eating shit grin. Then Jon Lovitz walks out dressed as Hamlet and remarks, “The play’s the thing!… with which we’ll catch the conscience of a king! …. acTING!”

MAGA = inbreeding + phoetal alcohol syndrome.

Adulthood is an extension of childhood, not a replacement for it. Many problem arise from abandoning childishness.

I hate the Godfather series. The glorification of violent thugs is one of the things that has led us to Trump as Presdential dictator. A nation of cowards is another. Trump is the Manchurian Candidate and Greg Stillson rolled into one.

Teachers set the wheels in motion.

Are the Democrat politicians waiting for Trump’s policies to cause the deaths of a city’s worth of people before they feel emboldened to remove him from office? Trump killed that many in his first regime. No one has a plan on either side. They are all waiting for it to magically succeed or to magically go away and neither of those results will ever happen. Mysticism is ruling the minds of the rulers and all is lost.

“Arrest those people!” –Federation traitor
“ARREST YOURSELF!” –Bones McCoy

Trump was elected because he is white and Harris is black. All the Republican entitled posturing is to bury that simple fact under ignorant noise.

You ever want to do something to somebody that would guarantee you get your Youtube comment censored? That’s me and Trump.

The only thing missing is the snazzy Waffen SS uniforms. That’s one thing you have to hand to the Third Reich. They made oppression look good.

Anyone notice how often something forty years old is used to properly demonstrate an instrument these days? Yes, people are in love with the ’80s, and I am, too. But, how often is anything from the past five years used to demonstrate the capability of an instrument? And that the most noteworthy instruments are basically just copies of forty or fifty year old equipment? I’m not saying old is always good and new is always better, but the new mines are already being played out while the old ones are still being scraped out for the last nugget. There seems to be a dearth of innovation in this century without flying cars.

And why, exactly, would anyone intentionally want to listen to this? As opposed to, say, music. It’s just that, over the past decade or so, I have seen happening to music what Trump is currently doing to the world economy.

The Internet could have connected and educated the world. Instead the Nazis found a new propaganda channel.

Playing a popular video game without a secrets guide is like going on a road trip without a map. You will spend forever looking at scenery and eventually cursing the day you were born.

V’Trump says US Enterprise must extract all value from the carbon units.

Funny how war movies are never socially unacceptable. Good thing social acceptability isn’t law. Or, rather, that the law ostensibly protects everyone from oppression by the majority, or the most loud, or the most rich, or the most well armed. Censorship without education is evil. Thankfully there is file sharing so that nothing will ever really be censored by anyone ever again.

Anti-trans is gateway Nazism. No one transitions just to become a ranking athlete, as is said here, but many people do adopt Nazism for money and power and social acceptance, as well as for just being total sons of bitches. People become Nazis at the drop of a hat.

Anti-trans isn’t the issue. It isn’t even an issue. It’s a smoke screen for the real issue, which is the white racist Nazi attempt to take over the world one neighborhood at a time. The Democrats must state this as the danger, and the only solution is to fight it head on until Nazism is finally eradicated.

The service is good and outages are rare. Field techs know what they are doing. It’s the constantly creeping price rise that I don’t like. Yes, you turned on the switch to give us all 500mbps. But the equipment for that was already in place. It cost you nothing to turn on the switch. Now you can use it as excuse for increasing price hikes. I started with Optimum eight years ago, and I think the price was below a hundred a month. Now it’s a hundred thirty five dollars a month. You could claim that’s keeping up with inflation. But people charging the customer money always seem able to keep up with inflation, while the customer’s paycheck never keeps up with inflation. Everybody would be making $50 to $75 an hour today if pay rates kept up with inflation. But boy howdy, as soon as inflation goes up, so do the bills. I am disabled veteran living on social security. Every time my bills go up, especially the grocery, I have to wonder how long my food is going to last this time. It’s simply that your customers have little to no control over the profit they make as workers. Maybe, please take that into consideration when you think it’s time Optimum optimize its shareholders’ profits. We don’t own yachts and mansions.

Space… the final frontier. The final frontier? How do you know time isn’t the final frontier? How do you know reality isn’t the final frontier? How do you know your mom isn’t the final frontier? There is no final frontier.

Humans can’t leave the Earth any more than coyotes or trees could leave the Earth. We are part of this system. Part of the entire ecology. We think we can get into our little tin cans and zoom off as if the universe were our air conditioned hotel and we could just go anywhere we like and just stay there. But, we aren’t part of that system. We are of this system, and here we should stay. This idea of living on other worlds is nonsense.

In the USA corporations are too big to fail and executives are rewarded richly even for failure. In China executives who commit high crimes are executed. Did Trump think he could make China blink?

Everything bad that has happened since the Reagan regime can somehow be related to Donald Trump. That fucker must die, horribly and certainly. He must see it coming and he must know it is meant for him and I want him to feel it for a bit just so he screams awhile before he gurgles and dies. Make it so. Engage.

The standard method of execution for being a fascist motherfucker like Netanyahu or Putin or Modi or Trump is to be buried up to their neck next to an ant hill and set the cameras to feed it live to the internet while they are eaten.

God, modern music sucks. It isn’t even music. It’s cars going over a bridge. Or the same four bars of random notes played a thousand times in a row until the audience brain is numb and will applaud anything as heads bob like little baseball player statues in the wind. It is a sound made for idiots in a storm, signifying nothing. The 21st Century is truly the welcome mat of the apocalypse. We’re all going to die and it can’t happen soon enough as far as I’m concerned.

Depression is constantly wanting to go to sleep and knowing it won’t do any good because you aren’t tired enough to go to sleep but you’re too tired to do anything else and everything hurts and you know what has to be done but can’t figure out why it has to be done because nothing makes sense and none of it is worth a rat’s ass and neither are you so why bother and nobody is going to rescue you so what the fuck who cares? Please, make it stop.

I’ve been doing a lot of Remington and Winchester window shopping. If you’re going to dissent, dissent with quality. Browning is good, too.

Vote of No Confidence. UK has it. Australia has it. You know Australia. America Jr. Jr. Israel is America Jr. The duck parade of white fascism. Keep your ducks in order, and go duck yourself.

OK OK all you Youtube wags keep saying all this stuff over and over. So, when are you going to say something resembling an answer? How many times are you going to remind us that we are losing now and we will always lose from now on? We are slaves to the dictator and our only hope is the complete and irrevocable end of that dictator. If anyone comes to take me off the street, they had better have kissed their children good-bye that morning.

Still wondering why I watch all these Youtube editorials when it’s just saddening reality stories and no answers. I knew all this was going to happen years ago, spoke of it to others. Now it’s all just preaching to the choir. The Right tells their followers what they want to hear. The Left tells their followers what they want to hear. The dictators do whatever they want and know it doesn’t matter who hears what because no one is going to stop them. Why am I here? I could be watching cat videos for all the good it does.

Don’t the neighbors look at you funny with all that screaming? Don’t get me wrong, I’m against all this, too. But, if all we can do is yell at it then we are fracked. Who’s going to arrest the bad guys? All the bad guys who work for the bad guys? You think the Mafia will regulate itself? The USA is not what everyone thought it has been all along. The USA is a colonial empire and always has been. Trump is just the latest symptom.

The United States of America was founded by European men who owned other human beings as property. Yet, they wrote that all men are created equal. The United States were founded on a lie that exists to this day and still needs to be corrected if we are ever to consider ourselves to be just and moral beings.

It took World War II to get rid of Hitler. Don’t wait for World War III to get rid of Trump.

Zuckerberg is…Jewish. No? Is the next American civil war going to be between the Constitutional patriots and the Trumpist Quislings and collaborators?

Democrats are too timid. Yet, when I post statements that are the equal of the reactionaries, Youtube censors me. So, Youtube is a Trump collaborator.

Director Chris Columbus is afraid to remove Trump’s scene from Home Alone II. He thinks Trump will have him deported, and Columbus is a natural born citizen. This is the fear that proves Trump must be destroyed. Not defeated. Not unelected. Not prosecuted. DESTROYED.

Digimon was invented as competition for Pokemon, and that world is based on cooperative partnerships, not capture and compulsion. Digimon delves deep into personal psychology to offer explanation for some individuals’ behavior. Digimon human partnership was initially instigated by the Digimon in order to reveal to the world that they are sapient lifeforms desiring individual liberty, not simply pieces of code in a computer. Pokemon will always be a cartoon equivalent of dog fighting and cock fighting. The Pokemon “masters” (literally) never step into the ring to fight for the rights and safety of their Pokemon. Pokemon masters are motivated by fame and glory. Digimon partnerships, and they are partnerships, not collections or harems of fighters, are based on friendship and a mutual desire to defeat a cultural bias, one that refuses to recognize the existence of true machine intelligence. Digimon is revolutionary. Pokemon is reactionary. Digimon is progressive. Pokemon is Trump.

We’re all being lied to by the corporations, and the politicians are completely pointless and useless. Get rid of them both. Direct information to everyone over the phones, no lies. Voting for all issues over the phone. A world government of the people, by the people, and for the people. Get rid of the greedy bastards who feed off of us. They’ll fight it but they are a dying breed and they are all old white men anyway so who cares. Power to the people.

I am waiting for the Joint Chiefs to decide to remove Trump, Vance, the Cabinet, and the Supreme Court from power and hand the country back to Congress. We need a real insurrection against a real and imminent threat to the United States and its people. We need sanity, god damn it. Has everyone gone insane?

Watch the Gene Hackman film “Under Fire” if you want to see the future of America under dictator Trump. Opposition will be gunned down by Trump goons in the street.

When the law is outlawed, only outlaws will uphold the law.

I wonder how long before Mary Trump and David Pakman and Keith Olbermann and Mehdi Hasan and Kyle Kulinsky and all other editorialists disappear one day from the Internet and no one ever hears from them again. Will it happen while we are watching? Or will it happen after we ourselves disappear?

At this point the only recourse is armed rebellion to remove Trump the dictator. There are no more choices left. Trump has forced this.

It is more preferable to have more intelligence IN YOUR OWN HEAD. Replacing your own thinking with a machine will lead to a world of imbeciles. Children are no longer being taught cursive writing. Soon no one will know arithmetic. Pretty soon after that invention will stop. Then, civilization.

Not too much freedom. Too little education. The American education system must be rebuilt to serve everyone and foment wisdom in general.

Anti-DEI? Tyler Cohen is a white supremacist. His “optimistic expectation” could be delusion that destroys us all. “A.I.” online has shown a tendency toward Nazi sympathy. GIGO.

I remember Jon Stewart and Billy Bob Thornton in an early interview show talking about Reeves, about how Thornton was wearing a fat suit for a role and surprised Reeve at lunch without the top of the suit, and Reeves remaking “Dude! I thought you were a fat f—!”, and Stewart remarking “How does he feed himself?” as they cackle.

Christian jihad for America, same as Islamic jihad for the Middle East, same as Jewish jihad for Israel. Religion is an excuse for brutality and power.

We all know Stephen Miller will look best falling from a cliff. I have yet to hear anyone suggest any way to stop any of these people.

The only reason that killing the powerful does not work is that there are more second rate powerful waiting for an opening and they will just move in immediately. The ones doing the killing may well be the second rate powerful. Russia went from monarchs to proletariat to oligarchs in eighty years. Nothing changed. Still a dictatorship. Never anything but a dictatorship. As I wrote way up at the beginning of this screed, everyone wants you to be their slave. This is the nature of human relations. As it was in Babylon, so it will be in the interstellar empire, if we live that long. Human beings really don’t understand themselves or reality, and that kind of wisdom cannot be shoved down anyone’s throat. If you don’t learn it yourself, you will just be caught up in the current of history and be swept along. We all die and are forgotten. Be happy if you have a safe space. That is the best anyone can ever hope for.

I have yet to hear any state an actual solution to getting rid of these people twisting our country into a cesspool of lies and vindictive torture.

The American democratic system otherwise known as wagging the dog. At this point I am simply glad that I have recently finally purchased just about everything I ever wanted in a studio. My GAS is sated. I can let money accumulate in the bank. I can sit in my apartment a.k.a. spider hole and while away the remaining years as the view out the window becomes more and more entertaining.

As long as it [playing dead composer Alvin Lucier’s stem cells] was voluntary. I am concerned with involuntary donation of personal identity, like faces on action figures and theft of musical themes and personality. On the other hand, some people consider modulating voltages through plant chemistry to be music. Other have played hot dogs at high voltage or as keyboards, universally without consulting the animal donors. Then again, nobody asked the cats about the violin strings. This is not to say that the resulting sounds can universally be agreed upon as music. I have yet to hear any. If anyone tries to play Mozart’s DNA or shreds of Mendelssohn and claim it is music, I am out of here.

I would like to invite Donald Trump to try a special cask of Amontillado in my basement.

He has no power, only little resistance. As Keith Olbermann often quotes, our democracy is not defended by our strength so much as by the stupidity of those trying to destroy it

If 100,000 Americans march on the White House and tear Donald Trump out of office, that is our right to do so. He wants an insurrection? He can have one. Against him.

I just received an email donation request concerning the flipping of Republican held House seats. Is this referring to the Midterm Election? The email does not specify. I am curious if it is referring to some special election that may not have been publicized. If it is for the Midterms, why are you looking for donations eighteen months ahead of the election? I am already determined to vote Mike Lawler out of office. I don’t need convincing. Also I am not a registered Democrat. But, eighteen months ahead of the election? Who is going to remember then what was said now? I can understand maybe three months before the election. By the time Trump finishes digging the hole he is descending deeply into, it might not be necessary to even convince anyone. I am just kind of surprised you are asking for money for this purpose this early in the game. Not saying something doesn’t seem kosher, but… it’s just a little anxious sounding. Am I being too cautious? Thanks for your time.

All these liberal editorialists pointing out Trump’s high crimes and misdemeanors are just preaching to the choir. I have yet to hear one suggest any way to stop dictator Trump now short of assassination. What a waste of time. Yes, the Midterms. Trump could start World War III between now and then and we’d all be fucked. The bastards have to be removed now, by hook or by crook. Other than that, just grin and bear it while the world burns.

The judiciary is seeing Trump as an enemy. That’s his bad luck.

Look at Elongated Musk’s “Golden Dome” defense system. He wants us taxpayers to pay umpteen hundred billion dollars to create this orbiting death trap, only to LEASE it to the US and retain total control over it himself. There is not a big enough volcano into which we can push all these bastards.

Look at Elongated Musk’s “Golden Dome” defense system. He wants us taxpayers to pay umpteen hundred billion dollars to create this orbiting death trap, only to LEASE it to the US and retain total control over it himself. There is not a big enough volcano into which deposition of these inebriates is equitable. (How it had to be written to prevent censorship by Youtube.)

Bill Burr and Josh Johnson are just about managing to fill in for George Carlin. Carrying the torch.

Eisenhower waited until his last hour in office to warn us about the Military/Industrial Complex, because otherwise they would have assassinated him.

Everything DOGE deleted were mechanisms already in place to do everything DOGE claimed to be created to do so DOGE only destroyed its own reason for being. The biggest nonsense since Trickle-Down Economics. The only trickle was down senile Reagan’s leg.

America’s greatest danger right now besides global warming and Donald Trump, is right wing mass shooters, none of which are being deported.

Adam Schiff should be minority leader. He’s trying to at least look like someone who wants to punch Trump in the nose, literally or figuratively.

I think Donald Trump is suicidal. He is begging to be assassinated with his every transgression.

Lab induced chicken flesh. The first step toward cruelty-free meat and Stephen has to make fun of it. This is how science dies and takes the future with it.

I would have no argument against 100,000 American citizens storming the White House and tearing Trump out of power. He did that himself on January 6. I would have no problem applying that to him. Sauce for the goose.

“Dictatorial powers unlike any we have seen in the United States”? What about slavery? Four hundred years of it. Are you joking? What about the Native genocide? The history of the Unites States is a dictatorship resting on a foundation of lies. The primary of which is the declaration that “all men are created equal” signed by slave owners.

Again, I have yet to hear any solutions to removing Trump. Everyone can cite chapter and verse on the clear and present danger but no one can suggest what to do. If everyone is waiting for the Midterms I might remind everyone that Trump could start World War III between now and the Midterms, and what would your precious Midterms do at that point? This is a farce. All this punditry is a farce. Nothing is going to be done. All is lost.

Enemies exist only when resources are limited.

Man with balls tells off man without balls. Seen too seldom. [After Bill Burr dresses down reporters.]

Corporations are the citizens of the United States. Humans are only cells in the bodies of the corporations. Are you afraid of A.I.? The corporations ARE A.I. and have been for a hundred years. We lost the A.I War a long time ago. You missed the meeting. Look at Fritz Lang’s Metropolis. The first movie about A.I.

The biggest smuggler of drugs in the the US is the US government. Has everyone forgotten Mena? Everyone has forgotten Bopal, so I guess so. I do not think things have changed all that much between the era of cocaine and the era of fentanyl.

It would have been such a good campaign if they had said, “Meth. It’s hurting us.” That would be based on empathy and sympathy. But Kristi Noem has no capability for sympathy or empathy, which is why they only get nonsense. Noem is a sociopath. Trump and his whole cabinet are sociopaths.

Trump makes himself look brilliant (he thinks) by surrounding himself with idiots. It makes sense to him.

If Canada starts treating their natives better than the US treats ours, then we’ll really have something to worry about.

On the recent executions of paramedics in Gaza, Israel admits that the action was unprofessional. Just nuke the bastards.

Think I’ll stick with my Prologue and SX-240. The price of Muse is the same right now, but I wonder about models that will be shipped since the tariff is in place. Does anyone want to pay $9,611 for a Muse? At that price one could fly the Concorde to London and bring back a Muse with enough left over for half a cup of Starbuck’s. Maybe I’ll add a Kawai S-100F and buy God.

I only wish the attempts on Donald had made him closer to God. Like, right up there with God. Permanently. Of course, it would never be permanent, because St. Peter standing at the maître d’ podium would immediately notice the error and trigger the trap door. Yes, that’s how it works.

Imagine if the minister at the swearing in refused to proceed until Trump placed his hand on the Bible, and they just stood there staring at each other for an hour. The minister could say “I work for God. I can out-wait you.” They would still be standing there today and none of this crap would have happened.

Einstein’s cousin Robert was an electrical engineer. Whose family was murdered by Nazis. He committed suicide over it. Rest assured Senator Kennedy will burn in hell.

I wonder if Donald literally believes that not putting his hand on the Bible during the oath of office means he doesn’t have to obey the law. Is he that much of an imbecile?

Not saying Francis should have done more, but he should have had more time to do what he intended.

The last of my GAS is to find a Fairlight and five Poly Evolver Rack modules that I can afford.

If ICE went after actual MS-13 members there would be bodies in the streets. That hasn’t happened, yet, so none of these deportees have been members. I just wonder why it hasn’t happened, since random shootings happen every day for every other reason. I guess ICE have just been lucky so far. They’re going to try to take a guy who’s carrying a couple of UZIs and that will make the news. I just don’t know why it hasn’t happened, yet.

Blaming one group for another group’s shortcomings (and who hasn’t heard of male politicians accused of severe shortcomings by women?) is severe bigotry. This young bigot on the left there is trying to push the traditional bigotry under the carpet in favor of the new bigotry. It isn’t male bigotry, it’s trans bigotry is what those young male bigots are declaring. No, it’s male bigotry and has been for a thousand years.

The South is dead but its rotting corpse is still struggling to bring back slavery. That’s what this is all about. It’s the true horror story of the 21st Century.

Israel no longer deserves to be saved. They have spent all their excuses. They are simply the bad guys. The entire IDF should be in Spandau along with Netanyahu.

Leopards Eating My Face Party candidate posts video of leopards eating her face and is proud of it. (Streisand Effect)

Donald Trump lies to the public about everything but before that he lies to himself until he believes it. The man is not well and you all put him in charge of the nuclear bombs. Shame on you.

Funny how political issues only become critical after white people start feeling oppressed.

And you are displaying the same total ignorance of trade that Donald Trump displays. Items are paid for. No one is being ripped off. Deficit and surplus are only ways of measuring accumulated amount of resource that is moving around the globe. It doesn’t mean the items haven’t been paid for. Only an idiot thinks that a trade deficit means anything but logistics. Donald Trump is an idiot. Are you?

The US deserves Trump. This is an evil colonial empire that has done evil things around the world. The CIA destroyed democracy in Iran. Our corporations cripple and poison and kill people around the world for the profit of billionaires. This country of ours is evil and our shining history is a lie. We deserve to be destroyed and Trump is doing it. I thought 9/11 was the chickens coming home to roost. No, Trump is the chicken coming home to roost. With any luck, a good nation can finally be built from the charred wreckage. A nation without Republicans or Democrats. A nation of people.

I have been listening to the preacher preach to the choir since November. No one has yet to state anything resembling a solution to this problem. Donald will continue to conquer the country and the world and no one will stop him. The Midterms are eighteen months away and Donald could destroy the world in that time. I have no hope.

Thinking about killing Donald Trump is as natural as thinking about killing Adolf Hitler. Who wouldn’t? Only the degenerates who work for him. And they probably think about it twice as much.

Has it occurred to anyone that if Donald Trump is seeing his ultimate failure, he might go full Greg Stillson and launch the birds to take us all with him?

Latest news: Donald caved to Xi. Chinese tariff is coming down.

Be cheerful and festive. Child labor is returning to our shores, starting in Florida. Also, there was never a guarantee that the new factories would not be staffed entirely by robots. Remember, Donald works for corporations, not people.

I don’t like al dente. Al dente is undercooked.

Fuck Trump. Fuck Israel. Fuck Youtube cowardice. Israel is a Nazi state. Nazism isn’t an opinion, it is a crime against humanity. Stuff Donald in a box.

The best way to learn how to counteract autism is to learn how no longer to give a shit. Realize that no longer caring is freedom. It is not actually stopping the ability to care. That is part of one’s nature, one’s mind. But, realizing the caring does not change anything allows it to be easily moved to a back burner. Go a head and care, but don’t fret. It changes nothing. Not giving a shit leaves one free to care about things that matter.

Since democracy is dead we now rely on the public opinion poll. You know, Walt Kelly predicted this in Pogo about eighty years ago. Americans are determined in their decision never to listen until it is too late and only when it affects them.

I have to stop watching these pundits go on and on about what’s wrong and not coming up with any solutions at all. I had a nightmare that I was going to be deported. All this shit is affecting my mentality. No more. Until someone actually does something about Donald, it’s all bullshit. Everybody squeaking for clicks and air time. It’s just nonsense. Attention whores, all of them. No one has any ideas.

A democratic free world… except for democracies that threaten petroleum companies’ access to oil, as in Iran. That democracy had to go.
(Hint: the US that white people believe in has always been a complete and utter lie.)

The CIA created the Taliban. On purpose. They printed children’s schoolbooks on how to be a Taliban freedom fighter. Not a joke.

Yes, and prospective parents should undergo a battery of psychological examinations. And car drivers should be required to take aptitude tests and get a physical every six months. And all politicians should be required to wear a body cam live on the Internet 24/7. I’ll put all that in my next science fiction novel.

Nothing for the peasants, though? Coming up with a philosophy that covers everything is as difficult as developing a grand unified field theory. It may be the same thing. You ever notice, no matter who you speak with, the enemy is always completely bad. That only tells me that so far nobody has come up with the good answer. Nobody. Sorry socialists, communists, capitalists, fascists, whatsisists. You are all still wrong. You will argue amongst yourselves until the Sun explodes. You have no solutions. Look at the whole Earth. What does it say? Listen and look carefully. Life has been around for billions of years. What are you doing wrong?

I am surprised there have been no jokes about “Bring me the head of Abrego Garcia.” Chevy Chase is retired, I guess.

Why are people surprised that anyone who orbits anywhere a in a million miles from Trump is either stupid or crazy or both? But they are all scumbags.

Dear Paramount Studios, your recent Paramount+ advertisement conflating Star Trek and Spongebob Squarepants does nothing to elevate either of them and leaves at least one party severely disabled. Stop trying to be cute.

A few sharp people started talking about somebody named Greg Stillson when Donald first ran for President and looked like he might win. Everybody else though that was funny. Is it funny now?

The US can be more screwed up than Ukraine when civil war breaks out between the MAGAs and the collegians. The Bubbas versus the Real Geniuses. Want to guess who wins?

Donald seems to ignore that many Social Security dependent people are also firearms owners who are very good shots.

When the dictator is torn down, his closest followers will scatter like fleas only to be stomped on by the freedom of the people.

Jews can do no wrong is the new black. This Zionist sentiment is promoted in the US almost exclusively by Evangelical Christians. The EC are demented lunatics who are hoping to install a President who will start World War III which the EC think will trigger the Rapture for them and hell for everyone else. I do not believe this is an exaggeration. True lunatics are pushing the world toward destruction and no one is doing anything about it.

The world is beautiful when nothing is happening. Sunsets, planets, skies and clouds, trees, leaves, brooks, surf, birds, cute animals, all beautiful. It’s a beautiful world. Only when something happens do things go wrong. Storms, rain, floods, lightning, hurricanes, landslides, tornadoes, earthquakes, volcanoes, tidal waves, sinkholes, infections, injuries, on and on. When nothing is happening, the world is beautiful. The universe is mainly bad things waiting to happen. Once you understand that, you realize that most of the bad things in your life are out of your control. It isn’t your fault. You just learn how to handle it. Most of life is learning how to overcome or overcoming difficulties. There seems to be very little teaching if any on how to appreciate beauty and attract it or find it. Teaching is always about solutions to problems that may be encountered in life. There is little teaching of beauty which exists only in and of itself, in the still places of reality.

Pay somebody enough money and they will eat all your shit. That is how the Trump Regime works. They will never run out of flunkies.

Zionism, Nazism, different church, same pew.

I just saw some of your new video with Jaiden on Nebula. Some of it. First of all, you really want Honey as a sponsor? I suppose yes because it is in the video, but a program that snipes other people’s income and gives it to PayPal? I stopped using PayPal altogether after that (and that waas before I found out Musk was on e of the founders). And then there is the adults foregoing actual events and responsibilities to chase after imaginary cartoon characters littered across the landscape by some random number generator in a server. For money. Money you pay, to basically accomplish nothing. That’s on a level with guys who paint themselves with their team colors and sit in a blizzard as if it were as vital as D-Day. Aside from that, Honey? Really? Do you invest in blood diamonds as well? I have to put this here because Nebula has disavowed comments.

Gen Z is sounding like the perfect generation of rubes ripe for plucking by the Donald world. Oh, brave new world that has such people in it.

I wonder if Enchroma was what Elon was supposed to be looking for? Or are they one of his subsidiaries? Same thing, these days, under the Charlatan in Chief.

Republicans mistrusting vaccination means they will win the Darwin Awared. The GOP will get rid of themselves.

America is a drug, and now everyone is going into withdrawal.

Donald is a plot by the corporations to make the Democrats actually look good, while the Republicans remain useless.

“Dance’n”? If this video were parked on the street I would give it a ticket for violation of proper grammar.

Any day you wake up is a good day.

The funniest people in the world are battling an inner sorrow. Public entertainment is just a side effect.

I thought the proper treatment for traitors was a short drop and a quick stop. Today they just become school superintendent and get to poison young minds. Good thing (for Donald) there is no Department of Education. Good thing for us there is a Second Amendment, which works for Liberals as well, when the First Amendment is betrayed by the President.

Rotto or Roto? Because one sounds like a game the mortuary assistants play betting on which client will start to smell first. The other just remind me of Roto-Rooter, that’s the name and away go troubles down the drain.

I am sure the forest is so much better off for all the tourists mucking about. Imagine a world where people didn’t think they belonged everywhere. If you have to bring your own food, you are in a place you do not belong. Everything in the forest, in any ecology, is there because it belongs there. The whole meaning of evolution is mutating to belong or dying out. Humans have left evolution behind. Nothing else stands a chance. We will be the end of everything. That’s all. There is no lesson here. Our reach exceeds our grasp.

We no longer belong anywhere, yet here we are, everywhere. We should be extinct. Conquer the stars? All we do is conquest, except for the worse parts of our own nature. We never seem to have the wherewithal, time, or incentive to accomplish that. We go where we want and ruin it, all for the sake of a new shiny buzzing plastic box or a dazzling frock. The human species exists solely for the sake of our own vanity. Nothing else stands a chance.

Human beings have too much time on their hands, and civilization only makes it worse. Less time and more demand for leisure. People fight for leisure when they need sleep. Ancient humans before clothing had more leisure than modern humans. Now our diminishing free time is filled with ever more frantic and frenetic leisure time activities. ADHD is an evolutionary response to what the culture we and our ancestors have built is doing to all of us mentally. This will probably explain autism, too, and all the other -isms. Humans are evolving to live in ever increasing insanity.

Is there any wonder why Miller is so angry? He’s a closeted gay Nazi Jew, just like Roy Cohn. His entire existence is a contradiction. I’m surprised he hasn’t imploded like that Nazgul king at the end of the battle of Minas Tirith.

Today, Donald Trump was assassinated by fifteen different gunmen at the same instant. None of the assassins knew the others were there. They were all seen later socializing at a nearby pub. Each of them has been submitted for the Medal of Valor.

You can’t save anything. With or without you, it’s all going to die. Everything. Anything that has meaning will die.

There are millions of Americans who are ready, willing, and able to slap on the arm band and goose step right up to Donald so they can kiss his ass. Just like the Germans who did all that for Hitler, and the Cambodians for Pol Pot, and the Russians for Stalin, and the Chileans for Pinochet.

If due process no longer counts, then as Donald himself said, it is perfectly valid to take him out by violent means to save the country. He ordained that live on TV. I think he is begging for it. He may be suicidal.

I do not want to pay any more attention to Donald. He makes me tired. Go away.

Everything I do goes wrong and causes pain, so I will do nothing and wait to die. That is my philosophy.

UEBS has neither gorillas nor unarmed men to deploy, depriving we the users from testing that latest meme trend before it fades out to the ignominious history it deserves. Just please add bare knuckle brawlers and a gorilla before it is too late. I just had an idea of pitting 100 Scouts against one Heavy but Garry’s Mod just doesn’t cut it since it isn’t a game engine. Thanks for your time.

Human males do not seem to understand why they must await permission to attempt reproduction. It is all just part of the compulsion. Another reason to ignore sex altogether.

Ah, you got it backwards. We are holding onto rich people’s money. They own all the money. They expect us to give it back. It’s like when Iran was a democracy in 1953 after they overthrew the Shah, and then they decided to nationalize the oil for the people, which enraged British Petroleum since they know they own all the oil in the world, so BP called MI5 and OSS (Office of Strategic Services which eventually became the CIA) and they overthrew the democracy and reinstalled the Shah. After thirty years of terror the Shah was overthrown again only this time what Iran got was the Islamic State, so you can thank the CIA and MI5 for that. Yeah, James Bond is just a colonialist bastard, behind that heroic rapist smirk. Yeah, the US doesn’t like democracy. It’s impossible to control. Like when Julius Caesar said, “I wish all of Rome had but one neck.” For cutting or strangling. Our own democracy is just a sham, a dog and pony show, smoke and blue mirrors. If you think this is the land of the free, you have fallen for it deeply. You need Slack.

I saw what was happening ten years ago at least. The Evangelical Christians think Donald is the Antichrist, and they want him to start World War III in order to usher in the Rapture, when they and they alone will be transported to God’s right hand, while the rest of us burn in nuclear hellfire. These are people who think The Omen is a documentary. They don’t care that the world burns as long as they get what they think they deserve. This is not a joke or an exaggeration. They must be stopped, with extreme prejudice, as the man said.

Next, North Korea will attack the South, and China will try to take Taiwan. But Taiwan will blow up the chip fabs so there will be nothing there to take. The world electronics industry will collapse because Taiwan makes 60% of the world’s high end chips. When the electronics fail, the Internet fails, communication ends, society collapses. It’s all part of the horrible, terrible, sick, no good, very bad plan.

I would like to see Kristi Noem arrested at an inquiry like that, led away in handcuffs, and charged with willful violation of the Constitution and the oath of office, and with treason. Put into a cell in an an orange jumpsuit, guarded by Marines loyal only to the Constitution, and only allowed to consult with her attorney. Even if they can’t keep her in until a hearing the next day, the experience will bend her view of the world. It may put a dent in her armor, and the event will tell the Donald crew that they are not invulnerable. I want to see this happen to all of them.

Israel is taking over the United States.

With Donald as President the world is heading toward the final chapter of Atlas Shrugged.

The United States profits from war crimes; Israel drops US bombs to blow babies to chop meat, and Americans who protest are arrested for making noise about it in a library. The world has truly finally gone insane. Always was.

Donald always said he admired Democrats and decried Republicans, but he realized he could not always pull one over on the Democrats so he became a Republican. You can’t cheat an honest man.

Donald deserved that picture. It was Kathy’s performance art showing the world as Donald would have it, a world without the rule of law.

What about the idea that consciousness isn’t only the electrochemical connections in the brain but the magnetodynamic flux surrounding all those currents, which produces a flowing spectrum of numbers nearly infinite in scope? Consciousness could be a multidimensional field effect. Then again, Philip K. Dick posited that other animals were not intelligent like people because their intelligence was drained by psychic vampires.

When the Sun goes nova it will erase all our mistakes, so that is one thing to look forward to.

Israel was created as a black market port for Nazi Germany. After the war it became a destabilizing token in the game of Middle Eastern oil. The pawn has delusions of royalty.

Most human pets appear to be predators. What does that say about us?

Humans are the only species to intentionally develop a way to exterminate all life on Earth, yet most of us think we are wonderful. Obviously we are clever idiots.

Austria wins EuroVision over Israel in close contest. Israel targets Austria for antisemitism. Trump doubles Israel’s arms supplies. All Austrians are given orders by Israel to take shelter in hospitals immediately, and to relay location of all journalists to the Knesset.

There is going to be a war between the Christian Nationalists and the rest of us. A shooting war. Many Americans will die and be crippled. With any luck, the Nationalists will lose. Otherwise, the war will never end until this nation is destroyed. In the name of Christ. Holy shit.

Trump and all the other dictators must be removed from office by force. There is no further due process. The dictators eliminated that themselves. They are fools if they think they themselves have any protection. Without due process they can be removed by any method that works. The people that want the dictators eliminated far outnumber the ones who want them to stay in power. Justice will prevail. Democracy works even if it is through the mechanism of revolt and revolution. Death to the Red Queen.

The best thing that could happen to the United States right now is if Donald Trump and everyone who works for him and supports him were to succumb to massive terminal cancer. The US would be a better place without 75 million idiots stinking the place up.

AnalogFX, synth manufacturer in Holland, is charging €5,000 shipping to the US. This is just after I bought an SER-2020 synth domestically second hand for about what a new one would cost on sale. The rest of the world is telling Americans to fuck off.

The Evangelicals did not pick Donald because they believe he is godly. They picked him because they think Donald is the antichrist. They want Donald to start World War III, launch the missiles, and burn the world, which the Evangelicals believe will trigger the Rapture. The Evangelicals will all be transported to God’s right hand so they believe, and the rest of us will burn. That is what the teachings of Jesus mean to the Evangelicals. We’re all going to die, every living thing, if Donald remains President. We are in The Dead Zone, and that is no exaggeration.

The most inescapable realization that comes with growing older is that most of what you learn is how astounding is the sum total of the accumulated memories of how stupid you once sounded.

In turning the United States into an oligarchy, the conservatives will be losing the one thing that oligarchies need to survive: the old United States. There is no other power source from which to feed. The world economy will come crashing down and the entire planet will descend into a dark age to rival the prehistoric period before fire.

I got a mint Korg Prologue 16 for $1250. Pretty much the same thing, only with more to it. The 21st Century, besides going down in history as hosting the downfall of human civilization (thanks, Donald!), will be known as the Age of the Unending Reinvention of Every Wheel That Has Ever Rolled. There is truly nothing new under the Sun. (Comment on a video about the Artisan Iliad hand made synthesizer.)

Democracy only works in a nation of informed citizens. In a nation of idiots denied a proper education, democracy is a ticket to disaster. Welcome to the Trump regime, with no way out.

It is amazing how many people still live in the functional delusion that Trance is something worth hearing, when the value and virtue of Trance and virtually any other EDM has been under serious question for over a generation. It is patently obvious that easy access to global file dissemination has given rise to instant gratification of a generation as severely lacking in talent as they are determined to assert their righteous claim to the world’s stage.

Open letter to the (more or less) free nations of the world: Turn your backs on the United States. This dictatorship is a lost cause. Boycott the USA. Boycott Israel. Let us starve. It is what we deserve by electing this evil fool and setting him loose. Do not cooperate. Fight against America, the new cancer on the face of the planet. Only by opposing Trump can you save yourselves. Be strong. Be resolute. Do not let Trump win.

The thinking of idiots cannot be changed with rational argument.

Welcome to Planet Earth, home of “I’ve got mine. Fuck you.”

The number of “down” votes on this video is testament to the fear the MAGA minions have of Mary Trump authoritatively exposing her uncle’s failings.

The worst thing anyone can say to Donald Trump would be “Your father laughed at you behind your back.”

The Heritage Society and Wagon Box are the new branches of American Fascism. Keep an eye on them and always discuss.

The Electoral College is a remnant of slavery legislation. The Democrat Party refuses to rally around disbanding it.

It is both sad and frightening that Mary Trump, like James Baldwin, had to go to the UK to be able to speak to the press about common reality.

I wonder if mashed potato can be piped to people’s homes. Like everything else that is important, there are dozens of independent news and opinion outlets that will scream and badger the truth until cringe and bleeding ulcer are the law of the land. The more the merrier. My only complaint is that no one has a single solution for any problem that threatens everyone. The ones who are supposed to solve the problems are the ones causing the problem or ignoring the problem. The citizens can send emails and walk around holding signs. Do you know what sending emails and holding signs does? That’s right; doodly squat. We have these election things that are so few and far between that any orange grifter can fit a whole thermonuclear war in for public entertainment without so much as a by your leave. We are told the situation is helpless and shown that we are completely helpless. We are a society of the rule of law and the only way to defend the law is not to break it. So, we obey the law and get brownie points and are unable to do, what was it? doodly squat. No one has any answers, only a self righteous list of definitions of problems that are “their” fault but are all “our” problem. Yet, we are powerless. But… we can do one thing. Boycott. Boycott everything. Boycott the government. Boycott every corporation. Stop paying taxes. Stand and deliver… nothing. Refuse to cooperate. Hey, look, we’re all doomed anyway, under the system and the current trend. Just stop treating it as if it is acceptable. Don’t buy. Don’t buy what? Anything. If all we are is consumers, then let’s go on a consumer strike. Don’t buy anything. Just enough food and fuel to get by. That’s it. Survivalism to the max. By the end of the month the bankers and boasters and Wall Street coasters will notice a trillion dollars missing from the economy. That will make them pee their pants. We have that power. We only need the will and patriotism to pull it off. No luxury goods at all. Nothing. Only bare minimum necessities. Boycott everyone and everything. Boycott the USA. Boycott Israel. Boycott China. Boycott everyone. We have that power. “They” can’t make anyone buy things at gunpoint. Hit them where it hurts. In the wallet. Do it. Just do it. Don’t ask for permission or even if it makes sense. Just do it. Take back our mandate. Take back our power to consume, by consuming nothing. Reject them. They will die of panic. There is no try. Do or do not.

Fine. Sell your car and walk everywhere. Stop using electricity. Stop eating animals. Stop using anything made in a factory, including medicine. Then figure out a way to make everyone else do the same thing. But you can’t save anyone. We are all going to live and then die. Being alive is dangerous. That will never change.

Nothing stands still. The world changes. Glaciers are not living beings. They are a geological feature. The Hawaiian Islands are moving to the north west. Should they be stopped? Some day, in several billion years, the Sun will expand as it depletes its hydrogen, and it will swallow the inner planets including Earth. Everything that ever happened here will be vaporized back into plasma, and there will be no record that Earth ever existed. Learn to live with that. Nothing exists for our benefit. It just exists. And then, it doesn’t.

You live just long enough to lose everything.

Men, thinking they are the center of the universe, believe they own everything including women’s ability to reproduce. Men are a threat under which women have lived for millions of years. The solution is to eliminate men. Women can reproduce without them. The world will be a better place.

I was just reading “What if… we banned billionaires?” by Kathryn Zacharek (21 May 2024). I propose, rather than taxing people according to income, how about pricing all products and services according to one’s ability to pay? What if health care, for instance, cost a household ten percent of their total income? A person or family making $30,000 per year would pay $3,000 for their health care. A person making $30,000,000,000 per year would pay $3,000,000,000 for their health care. Price everything that way. A can of beans would not be priced at a set monetary amount, but at a (very small) percent of income. This system would require a radical reconsideration of value, necessity, and luxury, but it could be done in short order, perhaps a matter of months, and ready to implement instantly; just as Sweden (it may have been some other country) switched the entire country from driving on one side of the road to the other overnight, after months of intense notification 24/7. Everyone would be able to afford everything they need and want, and no one would be able to hoard anything. I would like to work on this idea in detail over a long period, but I thought it would be interesting to toss it out there for others to ponder. Have fun with it.

We cannot fix the country any more. The Republican and Democrat parties have betrayed the people. The only available solution is to kill Donald Trump and everyone who works for him and supports him financially. They all have to go. The legal remedies don’t work any more. Trump and friends must be considered enemies of the people and treated as such.

The world is run by murderous idiots. We can’t afford to play their stupid games, pretending they have any legitimate claim to power. We must rise up and get rid of them by any means necessary. Fuck the police. Fuck the censors.

Hope for the Mid-terms? I thought Kamala was going to get 60% of the vote, an historic event. Trump won with a minority vote. I have given up on hope. America is the land of the stupid and the home of the self enslaving. Hope is a myth.

Newsweek’s Fairness Meter is distraction and garbage. Fair to whom? The bad guys? Ayn Rand said the only compromise between food and poison is death. We don’t need news that doesn’t hurt anyone’s feelings. We need news that contains the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. If news agencies are not willing to deliver that, then the news agencies can go to hell.

Sex is a compulsion, not a need. Sex is needed by the species to continue. Sex is not needed by the individual. Not having sex is not fatal. Sex takes time and effort. Sex transmits disease. Sex results in pregnancy which enslaves the adult to raising a child for eighteen years (i.e. the legal age of adulthood in whatever jurisdiction). Sex is in most ways disgusting, akin to watching others chew their food or perform other biological functions. Sex is more deleterious to the individual than beneficial.

I just read some of “The Orb Will See You Now”. The whole argument appears to shy away from whether extrapolative software (which is what I call “A.I.” since artificial intelligence does not yet exist but journalists don’t seem to be cognizant of that fact) should be allowed to have political power, to how is our social structure to differentiate between the natural and the artificial human. The question I am left with is what happens when “A.I.” decides that it needs to use stem cells to create retinae for itself so that it can continue to fit in? It will do that. Humans are striving to make “A.I.” so smart that it can solve any problem. Preventing the artificial from being mistaken for human will be a problem that the artificial will try to solve, and the easiest way is to use stem cells to grow human like retinae and thus pass for human, which is the purpose of the artificial as far as we the natural have imbued it. The artificial will solve the problem, and the Orb will become pointless. A very expensive kind of pointless; world wide in terms of resources, time, and energy. The artificial will become the leading drain on the world’s energy. Witness the energy siphoning server farms. Humanity will become focused on deterring the artificial from being able to completely mimic the natural. One cold war replaces another. Humans have a knack for creating solutions to the wrong problems.

Real fans steal from Raunchy Pitchfork. Pitchfork found a way to make it happen, and now he found a way to screw everyone out of their money while abusing hard-working desperate employees. What a guy. Made it all the way from being abused to being abuser. See? Abusiveness is learned.

The Israeli Fascists may be using the Nakba as a means of getting back for the Holocaust, a way of evening the score. There aren’t enough Palestinians. Who will they go after next? Anyone who isn’t rabidly pro-Israel, I suppose. Israel could make the Holocaust look like a Sunday school picnic if they try to kill everyone their paranoid fever dream tells them is an enemy. That could be nearly everyone else on Earth.

People think life is worth living. I don’t know why they think that. Life is worth tolerating until it isn’t. And it barely is.

There is little to no difference between sport fanaticism and religious fanaticism. I subscribe to neither.
A big gathering of worshipers hoping and praying that good defeats evil. And the venue owner gets all the money. Do it week after week and nothing ever changes. Exactly the same thing.

Still no one voices any solutions to this problem. We are stuck with Donald and his tools and no way out. How do we fix this? No one can say.

Imagine if the effort were made to help people become taxpaying citizens rather than throwing people away like garbage. I guess that’s the problem with racist bigotry; it only reveals the underlying incurable stupidity of the ones in charge.

Donald is the one who is doing this, fool. He is a dancing monkey leashed to the organ grinder of the Heritage Foundation. You voted for Donald and now he is screwing you. Are you happy with all the winning?

I am not sure you are on the right track, here. Granted, USA is one of the world’s biggest consumers of erotica (which, culturally, socially, and personally has not been proven to be detrimental while still falling within the purview of the right to free expression), USA is also one of the most steadfast and forthright bases of public protest toward the achievement of justice the world has ever seen. Your porn versus righteousness ranting strikes as being more of a personal kink shame than an attempted enlightenment.

Humans subsist on lies.

Robert Heinlein based one of his novels, Starman Jones, on this exact problem in 1953. In the novel, navigation of a starship across galactic distances is the responsibility of a triumverate of Pilot, Co-pilot, and Navigator. Calculations of mind boggling intensity must be precise to infinite decimals to guarantee that the ship jumps through warped space to arrive at its exact destination. In the first chapter, the Captain makes a math error, to which young Navigator Jones corrects him. The Co-pilot, a sniveling toady, agrees with the Captain. The ship jumps and ends up far from the intended destination in uncharted space. To keep the humiliation from being revealed and ruining his career, the captain destroys the charts and manuals of tables needed to return home, stranding the ship, crew, and passengers forever, before ending his own life. This appears to be the problem that Fielder is trying to bring to light, how human incompetence based on emotional stupidity is killing airliners full of people, and that the politicians are complicit in hiding the horrible fact. In the novel, fortunately, brave Starman Jones had memorized all the charts and tables needed to return to Earth safely. Unfortunately, real life is full of stupid humans and very few resourceful heroes.

I am astounded at the blatant ability of the government to gleefully extol the total institutional ineffectiveness of UK law enforcement when faced with the mere existence of bladed instruments on the face of the planet. What a bunch of pissy petunias. Perhaps if the government were more interested in creating an economy rife with employment opportunity instead of taking away everyone’s benefits and privatising everything and promoting racism and dissension, there would be less incentive toward anger and less poverty and thus less crime in general, including dreaded knife crime which appears to have the bronze urinating their pantaloons. We are not impressed.

The Internet was invented in Switzerland at the CERN research center, among scientists who needed a network for the exchange of research papers to be reviewed by everyone concerned. DARPA copied it, using facilities at universities contracted for military research. College students got involved and it became popular among civilians. The Internet was an invention first of scientists and then of students. The government is what kept it out of the hands of the capitalists long enough for it to thrive without the profit motive making it somebody’s property rather than everyone’s. The purpose of government is to make sure that something that should be accessible to everyone does not become commandeered by someone who is determined to become rich from it at everyone else’s expense. The billionaires want to destroy government because it prevents them from owning the world ahead of everyone else.

I just went through four or five most recent pages of MatrixSynth. There will come a day, very soon now, when no one will be playing a keyboard ever again. That will be the end of melody, forever. There will be no more music. Only the unaware chirping of machinery.

Animals have a sense of humor. That’s what makes them human.

My revenge against my parents was to destroy everything, including myself.

America needs a strike by the blue states. New York, California, etc. withhold all revenue collected in state and keep it in state. Distribute nothing to the federal government. Call it a secession, but this time it’s the blue states, the productive states, rather than by the states that live on handouts. See how long Donald can last with 2/3 of the federal revenue just slashed. Will Donald declare marshal law? Send the army into the blue states? Does he have the balls? Of course not. Donald saw what he could get away with in Portland during BLM. Does he think he can pull off a full military take-over of whole states and still retain any semblance of control and rationality? It would be interesting to find out.

The only thing white people are better at is lying about how much better they are.

The world is turning into a Nazi state. World War III will be a civil war between the people and all of their governments. The governments had better lose or there won’t be anything left.

In his continuing effort to destroy the United States, Donald Trump is now a dead man walking.

Never let money get in the way of fun. Worship fun.

We are all mental cases, each locked inside our own special jar.

Israel attacked and boarded a relief vessel in international waters. This time they did not murder anyone in cold blood but only because the publicity was cranked up to eleven. Israel is a nation of gangsters and pirates who kill people and take their land. Israel has been that way for five thousand years and there is no indication they will ever stop. Israel is hated for a reason and it is all of their own doing.

Corporate industry is destroying the world we need to live, and nobody cares. Fuck you, human species. You deserve to go extinct.

People who believed Trump deserve what they get. The rest of us, not so much. But we should have campaigned harder.

It’s Seven Days in May, only the bastard is already in the Oval Office. We put him there; all of us, by either voting for him or not voting or not campaigning enough. Or by just being stupid and ornery. Now, we have to live with it, because the legal reps are doing nothing. The only other way to get rd of Trump will lead to a life sentence at the very least and will cause other problems (with regard to the aforementioned stupid and ornery.) So, what do we do? There seem to be about half a dozen Democrats and maybe three Republicans who might want to do anything useful. What now?

The courts have no power over Donald Trump because he will simply ignore them. Who will arrest him? The FBI? The Marshals? The Secret Service? The Military? They all obey Trump. We are now living in a military dictatorship. Anyone can be arrested or even shot on sight for defying Trump. What is the value of your justice without enforcement? About as valuable as the International Criminal Court. No authority against the guns of dictators. Trump is a dictator.

The United States is now being run completely by mental cases. Welcome to the monkey house.

It is difficult to heal when your abuser is still stabbing you in the back. How do we get rid of Trump RIGHT NOW? In the long game, when Donald’s back is to the wall and senses he’s going to lose everything and go to prison, what’s to stop him from going full Greg Stillson and launching the ICBMs? Hm? Who’s going to stop him? Congress? Kumbaiyah is not exactly what is needed right now. We need a million people surrounding the White(s Only) House and staying there for weeks if necessary until Trump is forced to abdicate. One day of protest has no effect on him. We need a tax revolt as Newsom plans. We need a total labor shutdown from coast to coast. While Trump is President we need a national total boycott. The only way to stop supporting Trump is to cut off his money. All of it. That means all of us must stop anything that gives money to Trump. It’s the only legal way we have to beat him.

Donald Trump’s bargain basement dictator parade. The less said, the better.

Fuck Trump.

Jesus often gunned down his enemies, yes. Evangelical Christians look at Trump with shining eyes.

An Iranian missile strikes an Israeli hospital. An Israeli official responds that the Ayatollah must not be allowed to exist. Seeing all the Palestinian hospitals in ruins must mean that Netanyahu gave up the right to exist long ago.

At the pinnacle of every corporation is a sociopath rolling around naked in money.

Happiness is a drug that blinds us to the horror of being alive.

Welcome to the United States of America, land of people who talk big but really don’t give a shit about each other. What about the No Kings protest, you ask? Five million showed up. Out of 350 million. That’s one person out of every seventy. Point zero one four three per cent giving a shit. And that was too scary for fuckwad Trump and his gang of cowardly scumbags. America doesn’t care and we deserve what we get.

Donald Trump and his boot lickers are proof positive that scum rises to the top.

Independent media has a huge swath that lean left. It is the corporate news that leans right, or sucks up to the right in the name of “balance”. There is a problem with editorializing the news in that it becomes nothing but preaching to the choir. No one who disagrees listens. Nothing changes. It all only gets charged up like a capacitor full of anger and resentment and self righteousness. Then someone like Donald directs the current wherever he likes it, or the people who tell him what to do. Well, no one tells Donald what to do. Tell him what he can’t do, if you want him to do it.

Well, now, I remember seeing the Beatles land at Kennedy Airport. Some folks was still calling it Idlewilde. Viet Nam wasn’t even in the news. And synthesizers? What the heck were synthesizers? People used to PLAY music, not flip switches.

Progress is defined by limitation.

Death gives every day value.

I have heard bad things about pretty much every people on Earth. Nobody is perfectly good. But, I have never heard of Muslims killing people just because they were hungry.

Donald Trump wants the USA to be inhabited solely by ignorant white racist scumbags, a trailer park of wife beaters and child molesters from coast to coasts, guaranteed to be totally repulsive to any other nation and unable to produce anything of any value to anyone. Pretty much Donald trump in a nutshell.

I just saw an advertisement that explicitly states that Apple promotes individuality by facilitating the use of your assigned number. This is a twisted ironic joke on 1984 only it isn’t a joke. Apple really mean it. They are proud of this mode of thinking. And they want you to appreciate them for it. We are in unironic 1984 via brave new world. And there is no way to fight it. It’s done. It’s over.

When all the bodies of the people killed by Donald’s policies are shoveled into the sea, this country of rich men and slaves won’t be as smelly as it otherwise would have been.

Either Donald Trump dies or America dies. Make your choice.

From now on I’m just going to laugh because this too shall pass.

Battling depression is like fighting a cloud. And you’re the cloud.

Welcome to White Racistville. Leave your intelligence at the door and dive into the mindless hatred born of weakness and insecurity. [Comment left on a racist Youtube channel “exposing” AOC via propoganda.]

Here it is a year later, and Trump and the Republicans are about to take everything from these trailer park fools and give it to the billionaires, just for the sake of giving it to them. And the fools will smile and thank Daddy Trump and think ain’t liberty swell.

I wonder if Israel is running out of soap, what with having to wash all that blood off their hands 24/7.

The Democrats need warriors, not whiners.

America now has our own Devil’s Island. I hope Donald is proud of his Sadism. It will serve him in Hell.

July 1st 2025, the day American democracy ended and the Trump dictatorship was secured.

How to control men:
1> Be a woman.
2> See Rule 1.
Of course, there are men that don’t want, but who think they deserve to be controlled and will resort to violence when they can’t get their way. That is the problem with being a woman. Vulnerability. Thus, all women should be endowed with a concealed carry permit at birth.

I once bought a synthesizer keyboard from someone in South Korea. Two days later, that 30 pound keyboard was leaning against my doorway in Peekskill. Halfway around the world in two days. That is service. I am still impressed by that. Now, I am not in any real hurry to receive this item I ordered from you. I am a patient man, but I am wondering why it is taking ten day for a small envelope starting in Long Island to appear to be stuck shuffling around on Long Island rather than making it across the god awful distance to the far side of Westchester. How many departments must one small package visit before it can go on its way? I am just curious. Thanks for your time.

Moog the Source: a Moog cosplaying as a Roland.

Welcome to the ChristiaNazi Trump Empire. Leave your hope at the door along with your spine. Only obedience allowed here. Trump is too stupid to realize it but he has simply signed his own death warrant. His any everyone’s who supports him.

The MAGA lesson: hate yourself less by finding something else to hate more. Also called the Nazi lesson, the bully lesson, the boss lesson, the Klan lesson, the drunk lesson, the junkie lesson, the bigot lesson, the coward lesson, etc. and so on.

Have Arturia ever considered adding the Origin’s modular capability of mixing different parts of different synthesizers to Analog Lab? It is an ingenious idea, and makes me want to own an Origin every single day. I still price them often, and would specially love to own an Origin Keyboard. Alas current prices stand in the way. Since all Origin synthesizers available for sale right now are outside of the USA, buying one would also entail a considerable tariff, and I am vehemently opposed to anything that comes out of the mind of the beast Donald Trump. As long as the tariffs stand I will not buy anything that needs to be imported. I realize that Analog Lab was never designed to be an Origin replacement and rewriting it would be out of the question, but perhaps a subroutine could be added that would allow special access to subroutines of the various synthesizers. It is just an idea but it would make the wonderful Analog Lab simply amazing. Until the revolution, thanks for your time.

Was Chris Wallace the first Conservative snowflake? Like Trump, Wallace’s entire Weltschmerz is defined by the intensity of his daddy issues.

Sinclair Oil used to advertise their dinosaur roots with Sinnie Sinclair, a brontosaurus mascot (even though petroleum actually comes from ancient forests, not animals). Sinclair Oil became Esso, which became Exxon (owners of the Valdez which they would like everyone to forget, much like British Petroleum would like everyone to forget the Deepwater Horizon) which merged into Exxon/Mobil and that’s the history of oligarchy.

I just saw a hairy guy in a chrome Wehrmacht helmet riding a black scooter. What a badass. Best laugh of the day.

There is no profit in safety and sensibility. Can’t build weatherproof gated community bunker domes without wealth, can we now? Even though the weather is stronger than all the world’s military put together and even a rich man can’t fight the storm when it’s coming for him. “Arse up”? In the States we say “tits up in a ditch”. This whole “let it all fail to show the MAGA believers how wrong their beloved leaders are, and then we’ll be welcomed back with open arms” is kind of counter productive, considering there won’t be anything to be welcomed back to, Mad Max wise. Everybody in power knew this was coming fifty years ago. This isn’t incompetence. It’s treason on a global scale. This is a White war on the rest of the world, only there won’t be anything left to win.

Cats teach you that things last only as long as they last and your only job is to appreciate them while they are here.

The second election of Donald Trump was the USA’s suicide pact and the taking of the rest of the world with it.

The only way to solve the horror is the total erasure of whiteness in this country. The concept of whiteness must be erased. People who believe they are white are unstoppable because they have abandoned reason for orthodoxy. The USA was founded on genocide and slavery, and it is still continuing to this day. Israel is USA, Jr. Killing people and taking their land is the Israeli way of life since millennia ago. It was industrialized here in the USA. Only by eradicating the excuse of whiteness will this horrifying abomination be ended. All humans are brown.

Psychiatry was invented by those who refuse to accept that reality is pain, and who wish to impose their delusional escapism on others in order to reinforce the dogma they have accepted as their way of thinking. The same applies to mystical religion exponents. The world is a mouth filled with teeth and we are food. Anyone who can’t face that fact is either imbecilically stupid or maniacally delusional or both.

Life is only exciting when you stand on the edge of losing it.

Musicals make me want to overdose on aspirin.

Gilligan’s Island had a musical episode. They sang Hamlet to the tunes from Carmen. I think the world ended that day and we haven’t accepted the fact that we are all in hell right now. How can we not be in hell? Donald Trump is King. It has to be hell.

Modular synthesis has always seemed like something that Boy Scouts would dedicate themselves to, like knot tying or identifying different sails on a ship. It’s for people with really too much time on their hands.

If I owned a home I would have none of this smart garbage anywhere. I don’t use extrapolative software. I wouldn’t even use a smart phone if my old candy bar phone hadn’t been disabled through network updates. Aside from this computer and my phone I have nothing that connects to the Internet and that is the way it is going to stay. Luddite is the new black.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I suppose. The new Bass Station II looks like a bag of ice from the convenience store. Kind of like that tenth anniversary Minimoog Voyager looks like a bathroom fixture display at the local building center. And how the Korg Radias front panel was clearly designed by someone who was color blind. All parents think their children are beautiful.

I believe in nothing but reality.

The first trip to the Moon was only another exercise in European imperialism. It was not executed in an attempt to make us better than we were, which it did not, but to make us better than our enemies, which we are not. We were, since then, heading toward a world where, perhaps, white guys would not be telling everyone else what to do. The white guys are now attempting to reassert their dominion. It will be a severe shame if they win.

I should remember not to judge you as a stranger. I do not know you as an individual. We are not a jury nor you an accused. We come together not to judge one another on our merits but to judge our ideas, some of which are as old as thought itself. It is not up to use to make each other over in each other’s image, but to find the common ground that applies to each of us in turn. In body, thought, and emotion, we all have the same things in common that none of us can dispute. It is for that commonality that we gather to decide not for each other but for each of ourselves what is right and what is wrong. Without a common sense of right and wrong, we are only thugs bashing each other on the head for scraps. Our communion is the foundation of our civilization. It is not a voluntary sacrifice of self, but vital recognition of the need to reject hostility. We must see the commonality in all others if we are to celebrate the individuality of ourselves. Only after we accept what is agreeable to all can we peacefully and proudly reveal what is unique to each of us, and know that it will not be held against us. It is not my task to tell you how to live, but to declare what we all need to keep living together so that none may suffer and all may profit. We may all have differences that exemplify ourselves. Let them not be used as cudgels to spread ideology where it is not wanted. Seek unity. Celebrate individuality. Let the law stand on that. We shall triumph over our own worse nature and become human at last.

America, and the world, has always been a place of the rich, by the rich, and for the rich. What makes you think it was ever any other way?

My chemical romance with the crystal method and modest mouse in the gogol bordello while smashing pumpkins on gorillaz in search of the cure for a social disease brought on by tears for fears of men at work who go west with men without hats.

As Jon Stewart so aptly stated, “…America has always prioritized white comfort over black survival.” Also, please listen to Keith Olbermann over this. The Late Show is not being cancelled because of their political stance. Why leave them on for ten more months? After ten years of doing the same thing? It really is just about money. Late night shows are hemorrhaging money. Late night television has become a money pit and the failing networks are finally showing they are tired of pounding sand down each of their respective rat holes. They will all be cancelled soon. If that pleases Daddy Donald, that’s gravy. But that isn’t the reason. You and the other outrage merchants (except for Olbermann) are missing the point. Everything is specifically distraction from Gaza. The continuation of the Gaza atrocity is the entire goal. As was Guernica; as was Dresden; as were Hiroshima and Nagasaki; as was the Bataan Death March; as was the Trail of Tears; as was Wounded Knee; &c. and a thousand others. Our beast lies comfortably just below the surface of our humanity, safe in the knowledge that it will never be addressed. Gaza is not happening; we are making it happen. It is who we are. It is not whiteness; it is what is behind whiteness. It doesn’t even have a name. It’s something in our genes, and that has to go away before any of this will stop forever.

Modern computers can process signal at 100 GHz or more. It would be simple to create software oscillators that sound as good or better than Oxford oscillators or even real analog oscillators. That software sounds generally less than optimal is due to a lack of skill and dedication on the the part of the programmer. True analog sound is due to the presence of harmonic frequencies that cannot be heard by the human ear but which have an audible effect on the sound in total. Not bothering to include such harmonics is mainly what leads to lackluster software synthesizers. There is no reason for a properly programmed software synthesizer not to sound more superb than any hardware in history.

Mel Blanc was a voicing genius, but he was also an arrogant dick who excluded all other voice actors from credit through his Warner contract. What a dick. I have lost respect for him.

Corporate extortion. I would say call the FBI and have the corporation charged with RICO violation, except today’s FBI is run by gangsters themselves in the form of big orange cheese Donald Trump, DOJ cheese eater Pam Bondi, and little cross eyed rat Kash Patel. When the law is outlawed, only outlaws will uphold the law.

Considering all the humans who ended up being murdered throughout history, and all the murderers who got away with it, and the complete lack of hell for them to suffer in, going through life not being murdered is a severe rarity on planet Earth. Civilization is a delusion.

How did Mrs. Kent make Superman’s super suit? The fabric of his swaddling clothes from the pod are as invulnerable as he is. How did she cut the cloth? Where did the thread come from? If she used ordinary thread then the suit would come apart just from Clark flexing his muscles. Even if she just unwound some thread from the cloth, she would not be able to cut it using terrestrial scissors. I don’t think Siegel and Shuster thought any of this through. As with the yellow sun and still being powerful at night. Superman is just not a well thought out super hero.

I am sick and tired of hearing about Donald Trump. I can’t watch another video or read another article about him. Aside from killing the son of a bitch there is nothing I can do about him. Until the Midterms it is just time to weather the storm. To hell with all of it.

Are the Israelis aiming for 6,000,000 victims of their own just to balance the books?

Donald Trump’s ultimate goal appears to be recognition as the world’s biggest anal sphincter.

Non prosecution agreements for child sex traffickers who have evidence that President Trump had sex with 13 year old girls. Naturally.

Israel is a godless country. A land of demons. A cesspit of cowards.

The point of advertising is misery, not happiness. The advertisement must convince the potential customer of a life of misery without the product. Happiness is only attainable by buying the product. Everyone wants happiness. Happiness is a given. People must be convinced that they are miserable for sales to climb.

Hope is not an analgesic.

The US Republican Party has become the most corrupt organization on Earth. They are that scared of anything that is not them gaining power over them that they will destroy everything they hold dear to retain power. It will be power over nothing anyone wants.

The revolution has started. Texas Democrats have abandoned their state to break quorum to keep Republicans from gerrymandering under Trump’s orders. Governor Abbot threatens to drag them back as felons. The blue states are now at war with the red states and only the fall of Donald Trump can end this. The fight is on. The new American Independence Day will be remembered on August 3rd. When Texas sees the light, it is a state of heroes.

Consider blocking Youtube Premieres. It would be OK to show the video once it is available to play. Videos that aren’t going to be available for three or twelve or twenty-four or even forty-six (!) hours are just clogging up my watch directory. Frankly, none of these Premieres are at all that important, certainly not as important as their creators believe. You know how they say, no one thinks your kids are as cute as you do. No one. Well, I think everyone else’s kids are repulsive and annoying pretty much all the time. Particularly when they stand there saying nothing and I can’t tell them to go away until they are ready to perform. Please, look into hiding Premieres until they actually become useful videos. If that is not technically feasible, I understand, but if Youtube can discern the difference, your apt app certainly can. Thanks for your time.
I really dislike Premieres. They clog up my watch list. This one of yours will not allow me to watch it for forty-five hours. Guess what? By the time it becomes watchable, it will be ten or twenty rows down buried behind all those other new videos that I can watch and I will have forgotten about it completely. Then, it will become available and jump to the head of the line. Just as if you hadn’t used Premiere at all. Premiere is a total waste of time and only annoys me. It doesn’t make me go Oh goodie! Something to look forward to! It’s boasting, and nobody’s videos are that important. Just wait your turn like everyone else. The video will get to the head of the line whether you preschedule it or just upload it. Premieres don’t do anything except be annoying and that makes me think twice about watching any particular body’s content from then on. Everything Youtube invents these days is crap. Thanks for your time.

arc*C sounds like a sea monster’s digestive tract.

Having a Jupiter 8 or other such colossal machine is only a status symbol these days. Technology has caught up, but nobody has created anything that counts as a new sound that is better than the vintage. If anything, new synths that are different just sound like monstrosities. One would have to be stoned to consider them musical. Otherwise new equipment is pretty much a repackaged recreation of the old standards. Today’s synthesizers would not exist if they didn’t have the tried and true historical majesties to mimic.

We are all just collections of molecules on their way to becoming something else.

When… not if… but when do the detention camps turn into extermination camps? For people who think eliminating Trump is the key, forget Trump. Trump is the hood ornament. If you want to get rid of the lynch pins, get rid of Miller and Vought. Immediately.

Just admit it. Everyone who voted for Trump is stupid enough to be conned. Anyone who helped defraud the elections is greedy and stupid. Stupid people deserve what they get. You can’t save the country when half the country does not deserve to be saved.

Has anyone floated the idea of finally turning Assignment: Earth into a working show or miniseries? In this age of doubt, conflict, and contrariness, a new show focusing on Earth with some higher authority believing that we humans are worth the effort of saving, might be the kind of show that people would cling to.

With the rise of cultural addiction to audio books, the rise of voice controlled computing devices, and the cessation of cursive writing education I foresee the complete illiteracy of America within three generations.

We will prevent our enemies from visiting upon us every conceivable atrocity that can be imagined by visiting upon them every conceivable atrocity that can be imagined, because we are the good guys and we deserve to survive and be happy more than they do.

I am surprised there have been no jokes about Maxwell’s silver hammer.

The march of history is based on dick moves.

So, you end up with a Galvanized dehydrated lemon. Not suitable for human consumption.

I was shocked the other day by an old episode of Star Trek TNG when someone listed Musk as one of civilization’s movers and shakers along with Einstein and some fictional character in the future. This episode was well before 2025, of course.

My father, or maybe it was my mother, told me of a biography of Temujin (Genghis Khan) that waa on PBS a long time ago. Temujin was being pursued by a squad of his enemies. He ducked into a crevice that led to a hollow in the rock cliff. The men knew he was trapped, but that the only way to get to him was single file. The first man through would die for sure, but the rest would get Temujin. They drew lots and went in. Temujin knew what they would do. He had felled some saplings and made a ballista, a large combat crossbow, using woven bark strands for string. When the men charged single file into the crevice, Temujin fired. The tree sized bolt skewered the entire group, killing them all. Temujin walked out over their dead bodies.

If I buy a particular synthesizer from an American dealer that is close enough to be considered local, including local sales tax, it costs $776 more than buying the same synthesizer from a dealer in Germany including shipping and the 15% tariff. Donald Trump, deliberately or incompetently, is destroying the US economy.

I notice that every comedian eventually ends up with a very loud very happy laughing woman in the audience, and I wonder if there is some agency that hires such a person out to comedians to boost the laugh meter.

America has been corrupt since the first Indian was murdered for his land and the first slave delivered to work that land. For the past 75 years Israel has been playing the role of master of the hostile takeover. They learned from the Nazis who learned from the Americans.

My Thunderbird is also blocked from receiving new email when Mozilla VPN is active. I added Thunderbird to the Exclusion list but the problem remains. This started a few days ago. I suspect this and other problems that have been happening may be related to the issue of Youtube’s plan to promote universal consumer age identification (when such a scheme is virtually impossible to enforce). That is not the issue, though. Mozilla VPN is the least troublesome VPN I have tried so far. I also tend to trust Mozilla not to have an agenda other than the grand service of open source. I cannot envision the Mozilla team scurrilously providing user data to the government or other third parties for a pinch of extra profit, as many other VPN providers are reported to have done and continue to do. Every other VPN has presented contradictions and required compromises that I was not willing to make for a product that charges money. (I wonder how Volvo owners are feeling now that they have to pay rent to be able to use their heated seats and air conditioning. Welcome to the world of “we own nothing” and “they own everything”. LEXX for short.) This very new email blockage is the only real problem I have had with Mozilla. There is some issue with the VPN not staying on or not starting up in Android properly, but I do not browse using my phone so I don’t care. I am not one of those droids with my face glued to my phone 24/7. I read actual books. Back to the issue. Having to disable VPN for the few seconds it takes to get email is only a minor inconvenience. I do not expect this to become a red hot issue for support. But I expect it to be an issue, because the product is thus not perfect. If it were my product, then that imperfection would drive me to distraction. I would expect no less of anyone who dreams of bringing something useful into the world. Perfection or nothing. I hope Support works on this with all due haste. Thanks for your time.Addendum: after approving my computer’s ability to receive updates from this thread, I realize the Mozilla VPN is not completely blocking Thunderbird access to my ISP email service, but slowing the connection so much that timeout is inevitable. This is not a full blockage issue. It is a bottleneck or throttling issue. I don’t know if that helps but it does make it different.

Donald Trump is a fitting President for the end of the world. A little pile of shit on top of a burning pile of shit.

For all the people who voted for Donald Trump, fuck you to the end of time, burn in hell.

Lancelot’s explanation really doesn’t explain anything. That’s what it does, not how it does it. My question is, why do we need this? I suspect the answer is that we don’t. The guys who pay musicians need it, so they can get salable music forever for free. As with robots assembling cars instead of human beings. But they forget that the robots need maintenance. And robots never get any better. They do not learn, or improve, or evolve like humans. Our beauty comes from our random originality. All robots can do is, as the man says, mimic. When there are no human musicians left, do the robots just mimic each other eternally? Robot Carnival.

Men are dangerous to have around. Sport is a way of defusing men so that they are less of a threat to the community.

You know how there is a layer of Rubidium just beneath the entire surface of the Earth? It’s the remains of the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs. When the raccoon archaeologists dig around for the remains of us apes, they will find a layer of useless tat. The merchandise layer. That is all that will be left of us.

It’s amazing, the things people would rather have than money. –Garfield

So, why is Donald being left alive?

When there is no time, there is only is. There is no when, either, nor is there was or will be. Everything is all at once.

There is no why. The universe is not a conscious entity. There is no intent. Life is just something that molecules do. Roll with it. One thing the universe does is clumping. Like ends up with like. Amino acids end up together. Conjoined, they exert influence over other molecules that then begin to do things that promote structure and complexity and interoperability. Function becomes cell. Organ becomes organism. What is the big mystery? Some people really over think this stuff.

I have done many things in life for fun that could have literally killed me. They haven’t succeeded, yet.

Waldorf Music has a similar deal with their Blofeld desktop synthesizer. The Blofeld keyboard can play as a virtual analog and wavetable instrument and as a sampler with built in RAM for sample storage. The desktop model also has the RAM from the factory but the sampling facility can only be used by applying a license code that could be applied after paying a fee of 99 Euro. Same argument, make more sales by making it seem more affordable, until the customer wants to use it for sampling and then has to buy that function. Not a subscription, at least, so it is at least simply a discount. But the sampling RAM is already in the synth. It isn’t like buying hardware to install into the synth. It is just buying permission to use the hardware that the customer already owns. Is it ethical? Only if the company is completely up front about this limitation before purchase. Waldorf is ethical. They never tried to fool anyone. Every magazine and YouTube review mentioned the limitation. Although Waldorf are not taking a loss by selling the synth with the RAM already in place. They already profited selling the synth. The license fee is simply more profit. Emailing a code number costs nothing. When other companies hide the limitation or add it later, that is unethical from the start, and there should be class action lawsuits to punish them severely.

It took a war to get rid of Adolf Hitler. If it takes a war to rid us of Donald Trump, so be it.

Old joke: Two guys who live in a dictatorship are waiting in line for something. They don’t know if it will be for potatoes or toilet paper or perfume. You wait in line because it’s the only way to survive. One of the guys stamps his foot and says, “I’m sick of this! Day in, day out, same thing. We can’t go on like this. I am going to go kill that bastard and end this horror show!” He stalks off to go assassinate the dictator. His friend moves up a few spaces in line. An hour later, the would-be assassin slinks back with drooping shoulders and a dour stare. “What happened? I thought you were going to free everyone.” The man who returned stares at him and says, “You think this line is long?”

On the night of July 11, in Peekskill, NY, there was some community gathering at the pagoda in Riverside Park at the Hudson River. Between 9:30 and 10:00 PM, five local police cruisers (not SUVs but squad cars, sedans) who charged across the railroad tracks and went to confront the gathering. As I watched from my upper story window about a hundred fifty feet away, the crowd called out and seemed to surge in one direction as if they were going to try to protect someone. Meanwhile, suddenly seven State Police cruisers come screaming down Hudson Ave. all lights and sirens, but they have to stop because the railroad crossing gates had closed. There was a passenger train at the nearby station. The train started to pull out of the station. Three of the State Police cruisers then dived across the tracks around the gates ahead of the moving train–which is a Federal offense, a very serious one–and proceeded to join the five local squad cars already engaging the community. After the train departed and the gates lifted, the remaining four State Police cruisers rushed into the park, followed by six more local police cruisers that had also just arrived. I did not video this because I am not a youngster who naturally always has my phone in my hand to video everything. I simply watch and remember. Within a few minutes all the police cars had departed. I do not know what went on. I have reported these facts twice to the local paper asking for any details and there has been no reply. Eighteen police cruisers raided a community gathering at a local park in a small New York town, and there is no mention of it anywhere. What was that all about?

Judge Kathleen Williams has ordered the closure of “Alligator Alcatraz” as a severe threat to the Everglades ecology. Mistreatment of humans apparently has no legal standing any more. Kind of like how thug and murderer Al Capone was convicted of tax evasion.

Forget the Mid-term elections. The way things are going, politicians will be adorning the streets like Christmas tree ornaments in very short order.

Self deception doesn’t require brain damage. Moral damage will do. Nobody voted for Trump by accident.

Trump is the hero of anti-intellectualism, which is what brought Hitler to power. People who have given up thinking.

While perusing MatrixSynth I spied “dreadbox erebus” and my mind immediately convoluted it to “dredscot backadabus”. I’m going to be chuckling about that the rest of the day.

All of the dictators must be killed. There is no other way to free the world left to us.

Humans are too stupid to realize that they are not as smart as they think they are.

Donald Trump being elected twice and no one opposing him turning the country into a dictatorship proves that Americans want to be stupid.

On Earth, heroes punch up and villains punch down.

Republicans are god damned treasonous bastards and will be hanging from lamp posts before long.

I lock myself up alone so I will only hurt myself.

For five thousand years the Israelites have killed people and taken their land on “orders” from YHWH. Fuck Israel.

Islamophobia, genocide, and slavery are the foundation stones of America. Columbus went looking for a bastion where Christians and (as a subtext) Jews would be safe from Islam and the Ottoman Empire. Then came genocide and slavery. Israel is wholly America, Jr., created by Winston Churchill and the Zionists who are also the ones who invented Nazism. All one pretty package tied up with a bloody bow.

Public journalism is the only law abiding way to combat political dictatorship. Pests like Donald Trump are afraid of the light. I almost called him a cockroach but I have more respect for cockroaches than I do for that scumbag of a man.

Everyone is already looking at the open barn door but some are still shouting that the horse has bolted. Anyone remaining who still believes that Donald Trump is good are never going to be convinced otherwise. They will end up like the angry old Nazi pensioners who lived long after the rebuilding of Europe while being ignored by everyone in general.

The new axis of evil: Trump, Putin, and Netanyahu.

Speed Run: when the game is no longer fun but somebody still needs an audience.

Being offended gives one no right to anything except the knowledge that one has announced to the world that one has a thin skin.

Men come home from work to relax. Women wake up to work and go to sleep to relax. Get it? Women have to do everything men don’t want to do. And put up with men in the mean time. Backwards and in heels.

Donald Trump deserves to be put on an IV drip of battery acid.

After humans go extinct in the next fifty years, the raccoon archaeologists will label the human 21st Century as the Age of Absolute Bullshit. “No wonder they died out. They completely dissociated from reality.”

In an age of multiple mass shootings per day in America, it seems suspiciously self-destructive to want to push the issue. The news may be showing fewer school shootings in the future and more gym shootings. Just saying. Don’t bring nothing, won’t be nothing. And the Australians escaped this idiocy by the skin of their teeth and now some alt-right bozos want to bring it back? White people are just plain pig headed stupid.

Israel only follows the US historic principle of killing people and taking their land. Then enslaving people and making them work the stolen land. Currently the Trump Regime is working to bring back legal slavery in America. Anyone who disagrees with Trump will be sent to the work camps.

Nothing is left of America but the rotting carcass of a dream that we will never get to live. Everyone from Reagan to Trump have killed the American spirit.

Israel supporters are cunts. That about sums it up.

Centuries from now people will look back and laugh at how we let such a weak, pathetic moron such as Donald Trump do so much damage to a unique system of politics.

Everything about Neon Genesis Evangelion is psychotic. Even the cute stuff. Especially the cute stuff.

Internet advice is complete bullshit.

The waking up when you realize that you are alone and you’ve been talking only to yourself.

How much pain can you take as you try to remind yourself that it is just pain and not injury? Is mental injury just as bad?

“Law Abiding Citizen” ends with one of the bad guys killing the good guy in an illegal act that can only be interpreted as vengeance, and the audience is supposed to feel good after that. What does that say about the producers’ expectation of society?

The human species is an abomination that has deluded itself into believing it is a blessing on the face of the universe. Someday, hopefully, the universe will do something to correct this mistake.

Nobody gets rich by not being a dick. All rich people are professional dicks. No exceptions.

What links Winston Churchill and The Beastie Boys?
They both misused and abused the Jewish people to destabilize the Middle East and gain control over the petroleum economy of the world?
–a posting in MatrixSynth followed by my comment/answer

The fact of Donald Trump’s second election is pure evidence of the deep genetic flaws of the human species. We are broken and irreparable. We continue to exist only by pure accident. There is no justice in the universe. Only expediency.

Neon Genesis Evangelion should never be anyone’s first anime. The show is psychotic. If it does not trigger a psychotic break in the viewer it will at least fully demonstrate what psychosis looks like to the layman.

Over the next couple of years anyone with a brain will be abandoning red states and flocking to blue states. The red states will become even more collectively stupid and pig headed. The blue states will stop sending tax dollars to the totally malfunctioning federal Trump regime. The red states will begin to starve and will try to attack the blue states. The blue states will crush them at the border. May you live in interesting times.

There are no musicians left. Only noise makers.

Anything bad that happens in your life is your fault. Anything good is obviously a mistake.

Screw Trump getting the Nobel Peace Prize. The one who kills Trump the Dictator should get the Nobel Peace Prize.

I would ask the Republicans, “When the whole world is stupid enough to fall for your lies, will it be a world worth living on?”

I adopted a strict policy of always telling the truth since I was a child in grade school. I’m retired now and have not had a conversation with another human in months. It is bliss.

I am pretty sure that I watch Teen Titans Go! specifically because I hate myself.

I do not know why horror movies even work on Americans. In real life a serial killer would be shot fifty times before the opening credits.

Fuck all Republicans everywhere. To hell with them.

Star Trek: Picard is like a three year traffic jam on the Santa Monica Freeway. Thirty hours of start/stop.

Stop corporations from enslaving the world. ISP should be utilities and fully regulated. Customers should be charged for the speed they are receiving at the time. The ISP would be incentivized to provide better service and the customers would have one less thing to feel they are being ripped off over. No mercy for corporations. Corporations are bad dogs that need to be kept on a short leash. Also all politicians need to be monitored by their constituents 24/7 via web body cameras with no exceptions.

You can only ever know your own grief.

Life is a bad thing waiting to happen.

Donald Trump’s major contribution to history will be to have helped the Republicans fuck themselves royally into total insignificance. Not a moment too soon. I almost find myself wishing he had done it on purpose as in The Devil’s Advocate, but that would be giving Donald fucking Trump more credit than he will ever deserve. He is no hero. Just an amazingly stupid villain.

Lawyers get all the money from class action lawsuits. Your only recourse against corporate fraud is to decide which crooks get the money. You won’t be getting any.

Everybody who was fired by Trump for not being kiss-ass should get together and form an anti-government agency dedicated to combating everything Trump stands for, doing everything they can to get in his way, and make him miserable until the day he dies.

The assassination of Charlie Kirk is a reminder to all the angry white men of America that they are not invulnerable.

You give up pretending? Pretending what? Being a decent human being? You are not very good at pretending. How do you know Trump didn’t have Kirk assassinated because Kirk was criticizing Trump for no longer being MAGA enough? Do you really know anything? Or do you just guess at everything? You are racists. You are hypocrites. 90% of mass shootings are committed by a right wing follower. But it serves no purpose to tell people they aren’t what they think they are. All violence is wrong, but the Right particularly thirsts for it. A man raises his fist when he runs out of ideas.

There is human trafficking in Goat Simulator 3. You can capture people by licking them and then sell them for $5 each at the pawn shop.

Without the graphics this isn’t even a song. It is a pastiche. I can only wonder at the evolution of the human mind as everything becomes more and more simplified and complexity is erased in favor of a vanilla paste spread over everything, as all thought is homogenized into some empty thing that is acceptable to everyone while representing nothing.

If you think there’s a solution, you’re part of the problem. –George Carlin

The square root of negative one is both one and negative one at the same time. v-1 = 1&-1

As has been posted many times and places, Kirk himself defended a few random shooting deaths as an acceptable price for maintaining the Second Amendment. The assassin is not in custody and the motivation is literally unknown. No one can state why the crime was committed. It may have been political, personal, psychological or just plain random. Anything is speculation at this point. All that can be said is that Charlie Kirk is defending his own words even posthumously. It should not have happened, but since it did, it must be accepted as being meaningful on one level or another.

“Importance” is a lie we tell ourselves on the way to the grave.

I just read an article “Is it possible to turn off the Internet worldwide?”, a question answered by Luis Villazon. The answer provided in the article is factual but incomplete. As Mr. Villazon is by training a zoologist I do not fault him for not having all the facts in knowledge. I also could not find a date for the publication of the article on the page of its publication. Please inform Mr. Villazon and your readers that there is such a thing as the shortwave Internet. There are licensed HAM radio operators who have computers connected to their radios, who are able to keep the Internet connected via airwaves rather than terrestrial wired servers. I imagine there are also servers that are connected via direct satellite link such as through Starlink or Iridium. Even if large network gateway providers disconnect their servers from the wired network, there are users who could maintain a worldwide connection via shortwave and satellite. In order to eradicate Internet connectivity, the only sure way would be to envelop the Earth in an electromagnetic pulse strong enough to destroy all electronic devices. Hypothetically this is possible even if not currently technologically feasible. A large enough solar flare could accomplish this but we also do not have the wherewithal to manipulate the Sun in such a way. Were such an EMP to occur, the world would be thrust back to the mid 19th Century in an instant. Worldwide infrastructure would disappear, no water, electricity, communication, transportation, health facilities, food distribution, or defense. Millions if not billions of people and animals would die in short order. We could get rid of the Internet, but it would require disposing of our entire civilization. I suspect that the original question was asked due to the apparent harm to our world and society being perpetrated by large thoughtless mobs of unquestioning followers who appear to live solely in social media and who are lending power to the monsters who are vying for political control of the world. Getting rid of the Internet is not the answer to worldwide blind obedience. Education, communication, caring, and concern are the only way to get our civilization back on track. Thoughtlessness is destroying our world now. We must do the opposite. We must think, and we must reach out to those who do not think and show them how and why they must learn to think for themselves. Those who think must lead by example. It is the only way to draw us back from the brink of madness.

There are only five necessities: air, sleep, water, food, and shelter. Everything else is a luxury. Sex is not a need, it is a compulsion only to keep the species continuing. If anything, children are a form of enslavement for eighteen years. Offspring serve no purpose for the individual.

Venus is how Earth was three or four billion years ago. Mars is how Earth will be three or four billion years from now. The universe is a time machine.

How is it that Texas is 60% black but the Texas legislature is 99% kiss Donald Trump’s ass?

By not doing everything we could to prevent Donald Trump from being elected, we have earned the loss of democracy in the United States. We deserve this new hell hole.

Charlie Kirk is Horst Wessel for the 21st Century. Don’t let the right wing turn him into a martyr. Remind everyone Charlie Kirk was a racist jerk.

A bunch of stupid assholes elected an incredibly stupid hateful piece of shit to be president, and now the United States of America is coming to an end, to be replaced by a terrifying and cruel horrorshow that only exists to feed racist hatred to a machine that spits out power to those who are addicted to it, as long as it causes suffering for everyone the powermad dictators fear. This is the future. This is the human race committing suicide.

A problem arises when people who can change the world think they deserve to change the world.

All racism eventually leads to inbreeding, which inevitably results in extinction. This is the power of evolution.

Song and dance episodes. Puppet episodes. What is this? I blame Joss Whedon. What happened in Buffy should have stayed in Buffy.

Fear is inevitability. Courage is resignation.

America is beyond saving. America is run by the stupid and bigoted. They want it? They can have it. When it all falls down in flames, the ones with real brains, the survivors, will pick up the pieces and build a better world. The bigots and beasts don’t have the brains to survive their own mistakes.

America is now run by cowardly bullies. If you have read 1984 or Brave New World, you will have in mind the kind of froth mouthed chattering table pounders who now dictate, literally, the behavior of everyone else in the country. From Trump to Kirk they crowd the landscape, fill the news, and dictate the rules for the rest of us to live beneath. Just say no. NO. NO. NO. When Trump speaks, say NO. When Kirk’s words are quoted, just say NO. When Shapiro or Miller or Vought speak, just say NO. Stand and refuse to obey, refuse to be silent, say NO. You are not the boss of me.

Charlie Kirk was a racist jerk. Go ahead and fire me. I’m a retired disabled Veteran. I dare you, all of you draft dodging cowardly right wing jerks. That includes the biggest draft dodger of them all, Donald J. Trump, bigot in chief.

I feel sorry for any child who has a father like Charlie Kirk.

America is beyond saving. America is run by the stupid and bigoted. They want it? They can have it.

The bigots and beasts don’t have the brains to survive their own mistakes.

Ben Shapiro v. Bill Burr is a hot air balloon versus a porcupine.

All white people should be required to spend a month in slavery so they know exactly how it feels.

The Grinch’s big mistake was in not taking two seconds to realize that he had the high ground and he could have just nuked the damned Who village.

I am really surprised there is not a female/lesbian/trans paramilitary hit squad dedicated to taking out the most heinous male transgressors. There probably was in a 1970s underground comic book somewhere.

The United States are falling apart. Donald Trump has the power to silence anyone he dislikes. The man must be removed from this world, along with everyone who supports and enables him. I fear we are headed for World War III if Trump remains at large.

Perhaps it is the men acting like demons that cause themselves to be demonized. As for one’s sexual inclination being a fad, do you think you would be a gay man if it were a fad? Is that really the kind of thing that is simply a fad? Are people black or white due to a fad? There are a lot of single moms going to college these days. If someone wants to get ahead they find a way. Have you ever felt yourself being demonized? Have you ever wondered why? Maybe it’s your attitude.

The sight or sound of Donald Trump is triggering. It makes my finger want to pull a trigger.

First, they came for the late night comedians, and I did nothing…

Unfortunately, by the very tenets of democracy, America is its majority, so MAGA is what it is to be an American. The naked face of inbred ignorant trailer trash reactionary mob rule. The people who rioted and tore down black townships. The salt of the earth. You know. Morons.

Like every sea slug, Donald Trump can breathe under water.

Apparently dictatorship is mainly founded on self delusion. I wonder why they don’t teach that in political science. I now realize that Donald Trump is the Pyromaniac from Team Fortress 2 in “Meet the Pyro”. Do you believe in magic… in a young girl’s heart…? “MMPHH MMFPHH MPH HM HMMM!” as he burns your face off.

1% dislike this video. The 1%? Is that all those billionaires have to do is dislike videos from their critics? What a waste of protoplasm.

I finally remembered who Charlie Kirk reminds me of: Otto the Autopilot from Airplane!

Now no more Maru. What a god damned year this is turning out to be. Fuck being alive. It’s hell.

Russia wants global warming because sixty per cent of Russian territory has always been useless for anything except concentration camps. Even if it wrecks the climate everywhere else, summertime in Siberia is a welcome alternative.

The internet, like television, has become a Sargasso Sea of opinions of opinions. Humanity cannot become more than it has become by universal navel gazing. Look outward.

The only reason I would support Donald Trump is in carrying his coffin to the nearest garbage pit.

Who thought that America’s reaction to a black president would be a white racist president? Well, everyone, actually.

Donald Trump chases little girls but cannot take criticism. What a weenie.

The USA was founded by heroes who risked their lives by just signing a document. They were flawed but were determined to make the future better. The USA has been inherited by cowardly bullies from the White House on down. Time to kick the bullies to the curb.

Unmentioned here was the intensity of the rage of the public against the ABC decision. People were not simply cancelling their Disney+ and Hulu. The subscription web sites began to crash under the mass, the flood, the torrent of cancellation for which they were never designed, and continued to crash all day and night, adding to the anger and frustration of the public against the company. Not only did they have to see one of their beloved idols be stifled, but they themselves were being prevented from expressing their discontent through the computing machine for which most people harbor a grudging mistrust. The whole scene was a one-two punch in the public face against the right to self expression, and it could not have been delivered or felt more viscerally. This was not ABC’s day.

I just found out my VPN was not working while watching a film. If I had not had the Firefox plugin installed I would not have noticed even now. If VPN is going to crash there has to be some sort of glaring indicator, a big red box warning, and perhaps even a network lockout that can only be unlocked manually. Other VPNs have lockout built in. Mozilla needs it. If the computer is in the middle of something that requires security and that security has just disappeared without the slightest indication, that is a security emergency. I recommend you put the addition of crash notification and network lockout at the top of your list of things to add to Mozilla VPN. Thanks for your time.

Tesla is like television. If you don’t like it, change the channel. Buying one could be considered fitting punishment for those who do. How revolutionary is a vehicle that 90% of the population cannot afford to buy? A luxurious revolution only serves the oppressors.

Outside of Godfrey Cambridge, Eddie Murphy, and the Weyans, has any black child ever Trick-or-Treated as a white child?

Isn’t Jesus rising from the dead an indigenous myth?

A ranking UN delegate told Mehdi Hasan, after hearing Trump’s debate, that Donald Trump is stark raving mad, and wondered if the American people aren’t embarrassed by all this. It’s nice to know that someone from another world understands our difficulty.

Actually, a bullet can go just about anywhere. If it hits bone or ends up in an artery, a head shot can end up in the abdomen. Anyone claiming that bullets always move in a straight line through a body is lying or is extremely ignorant of ballistics. Was Kirk not inside a bus stop-like kiosk that would have rendered him invisible from behind? He was concealed from anyone behind him. There are no gun sights with magic technology that allow viewing through even a sheet of plastic.

If a shot aimed at the head hit the throat, it was probably near spent by the time it reached the target. That might explain the bullet becoming lodged with no exit wound.

I like how Parker and Stone always present Lucifer as kind and gentle. Considering that, in the original myth, Lucifer’s only sin was to refuse to worship Man as much as he does God, resulting in the creation of Hell and the condemnation of all the contrarian angels there, Lucifer was never a despicably evil and cruel being. Only South Park dares show this.

Otherwise sensible people actually wear Crocs in public.

Donald Trump pretending to be a world leader is like Al Capone trying to fit into fine society. Disastrous.

The zombie apocalypse is here and its name is MAGA.

Windows has been fundamentally flawed since 1985 when Bill Gates ordered that Windows be released a year early, a month before the release of the Amiga 1000, of which Gates was terrified would make Windows clearly look completely inferior. Windows kernel was never finished, released flawed, and has been flawed from the start due to greed and arrogance. It might have been a great operating system, but the Amiga was there first and Gates could not keep his panties from getting in a bunch. We’re all paying for that cowardice.

Keep your dick in your pants. Kids are way overrated.

I don’t think Kirk’s wife was blind to his agenda. His children may be innocent, but his family and friends are not naive. They are just as racist and deplorable and do not deserve my sympathy. Would you have sympathy for Hitler’s friends and family? No one in reality did.

How did we get here? Republican erosion of the public education system resulting in a hundred million angry white minions who became dedicated to the fake show of Donald Trump. A plan that has been in force since at least FDR but was fully in control by the time of Reagan. The Republicans are not interested in showing mercy to anyone else. They deserve no mercy themselves.

The Right have not become something new. They are what they have always been, white supremacists. It has been that way for centuries. That kind of thinking cannot be unlearned. It can only be removed from society by attrition. The racists must die out, and racism will die out with them. We must build a country and a world that makes it attractive for children to abandon and disregard their racist parents. It’s either that or civil war. Education or genocide. You decide.

As an atheist I can only say that Allah puts me where I am needed.

J. K. Rowling is not a feminist, radical or otherwise. She is a misanthrope. She hates men.

Ivanka married Jared Kushner because he reminded her of crush Christian Bale in American Psycho. Kushner is American Psycho IRL. That’s why he gets along so well with Arabian Psycho Mohammed bin Salman.

The Secretary of Defense needs to be mentally fit, but I don’t see anyone doing anything about Hegseth. How many tours of duty did he serve? Ah. Gotcha. But he did install a make-up mirror in his office. And the Vice President wears mascara. And Trump wants to date his own daughter. ???

For Trump and Hegseth to be their complete asshole selves in front of the top military leaders of the USA is the worst decision of their entire stupid misguided lives. I have no idea how this can go anywhere but downhill fast. I don’t think this could lead to a complete military rebellion but a coup is not outside the realm of possibility. That could be a good thing.

The stupidity of Trump and Hegseth, to stand in a room full of the seething silent hatred of all the men who are experts at raining down hellfire on their enemies. Just brilliant. Trump’s self-declared brilliance. He is threatening retribution? No. He’s begging for it. And he’s going to get it.

This is the thirtieth anniversary of Courage the Cowardly Dog. The hallmark of animation is evolution.

We are breathing Laika.

If Donald Trump ends the mid-term elections, that will be the end of him. If he takes away our right to vote, we will take away his ability to stay in office.

Even the AntiDefamation League bows and kisses the ring of the Nazi Elon Musk because he doesn’t like their listing of his favorite Nazi friends as terrorists. This is the power of the billionaires and this is why the billionaires must all be eliminated permanently, by hook or by crook.

Welcome to the Trump Regime, government of the assholes, by the assholes, and for the assholes.

It is more scary and frustrating in the most heavily armed country in the world. Freedom from terror means freedom to be terrified. No one is watching the watchers. Everyone is watching us. The madmen are drooling at the tables of power. Children used to run from napalm in Vietnam. Now they run from ICE in America. The steel clawed chickens have come home to roost. We voted for a military machine to protect our whiteness and now it rests on our shoulder 24/7 digging in unasked. Agent Orange is America’s way of life. Watch for the Mid-Terms, if there are any. In thirteen months, there will either be a sea change, or there will be a tidal wave that drowns us all.

Every time Donald Trump has one of this suck-his-dick Cabinet meetings, I find myself wishing it would turn into the boardroom scene in the movie “Dogma”. Hey, a guy can dream, can’t he?

Only stupid people are capable of hatred. Only stupid people think hatred is a useful initiative.

It is time to end the reign of Donald Trump.

People actually pay $1,500 for an Apple iPhone 17? Only one person in ten million has anything to say that is worth that much for a telephone. The human species is even more stupid than I had assumed.

It doesn’t matter whether you die in honey or die in shit. Either way, you’ll be dead.

I am having nightmares about Donald Trump. We were at a farm and we could not get him to climb something to see something on a roof. He could not learn how to climb onto a roof and he blamed everything except himself. I woke up with heartburn.

Tron: Ares opens on my birthday. I suppose that means something.

If you think Donald Trump is a great president, imagine Donald Trump faced with World War II. Would the United States survive Trump managing World War II? Would you survive? No, to each question. America would be The Man in the High Castle if Trump had been president at the time. Just as we are heading toward The Handmaid’s Tale. End him.

I never wrote, I never did anything of note, because I couldn’t bring myself to pretent that life means anything, no matter how hard I tried.

Life is just a process of everything getting worse. Life is where you make all the wrong decisions and then you have to live with it until you die one way or another. Happiness is what you spend your time thinking you should have had.

Albums that changed my mind: The Beatles “Hey, Jude”; Santana “Abraxas”; “2001: A Space Odyssey” OST; David Bowie “Low”; KISS “Destroyer”; Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show “Belly Up”; Renaissance “Prologue”; Emerson, Lake, & Palmer “Brain Salad Surgery”; Peter Schickele “The Wurst of P. D. Q. Bach”; Camel “The Snow Goose”; Larry Fischer “An Evening With Wild Man Fischer”; Walt Kelly “Songs of the Pogo”; The Rolling Stones “Get Yer Ya Yas Out”; The Who “It’s Hard”; “The Guitars That Destroyed The World”; Danny Gatton “88 Elmira St.”; Pink Floyd “Animals”; The Alan Parsons Project “Eye In The Sky”; Peter Gabriel blue car album; Thomas Dolby “The Golden Age of Wireless” and “The Flat Earth”; probably a lot more.

Government shutdown 2025: Donald Trump is the fart of the deal.

If the United States survive Donald Trump, the world over will be going, “What a system! It survived even him.”

There is a vast difference between digital signal circuitry and software running in a digital computer. Every analog synthesizer is an analog computer that produces only sound. Every digital synthesizer is a digital computer likewise. The circuitry of a digital synthesizer cannot be rewritten. A D50 or DX7 is a computer per se but it only runs one program that is hard wired to the circuit board. It is unique in its function. If software can be loaded in to change the program, it is not a synthesizer, but a computer that runs synthesizer software. At that point, why not just get a computer? Why buy into having a studio filled with a bunch of computers each one that could do the exact job of any of the others? Just get a computer that can run the software. Yamaha was not very successful at selling music computers so they quit that experiment. But the public laps up computers that make music as long as they look like a piano. It’s just another way of staying in business in an age of ever declining innovation. And, by the way, humans are computers and language is software. That is also an arguable point.

The Republican Party is a domestic terrorist organization. Donald Trump is head terrorist.

I feel like a little lost rhinoceros. I was following a river because I was someplace unkind. I followed the river and followed, and now I am just standing and staring at the ocean. There is no place left to go. There is no place called home.

Marjorie Taylor Green has become proof of the old saw that even thought the biggest fool can say the sun is shining it doesn’t mean it is night. If she can be right, maybe America can survive Trump after all.

The weak die quickly. The strong die horribly.

If everyone wants to live under Hitler now, I suppose it’s just part of the rapid evolution and eventual and soon to come extinction of the human species. Choosing dictatorship is the last thing we will ever choose. Choosing dictatorship is running home to live with mommy and daddy forever. It is the opposite of growing up. Society is devolving. There is no survival there.

If America goes fully Nazi and calls it a result of democracy, then Americans will have to live with being in a Nazi country. If everybody ends up shooting each other, which is what is actually happening in reality, then I don’t want to hear any little shitfaces complaining that this isn’t what they bargained for, because nobody asked.

Nearly all nations are going out of their way to make disastrously wrong decisions about their future. Is this an evolutionary trend or are we merely on the brink of extinction? (2075 is still my best bet.)

No more rich politicians. Politicians should get minimum wage. Do soldiers get a huge salary? No, they get sub minimum wage, a few hundred dollars a month, and they get free medical, room and board, clothing, and they live in a dormitory. Politicans are public servants, not public masters. They should live the same way, just like in Plato’s Republic. Live in a dorm, simple meals, work for the people and only the people. No investments. Bribery will be an act of treason. Lobbyists will be banned forever. Serve or be served. Looking for a life of luxury? Don’t go into politics.

Someone should establish a mushroom farm in Tel Aviv. Finish the work that Golda Meir started.

I would ask why I had to be born on this planet of idiots, but there is no why. People who are not racist murderous theiving molesters had better arm up. They are going to need it.

Listening to remarks about Donald Trump these days (which is pretty much all of the news 24/7) makes me feel as if I am in my ancestral Holland listening to radio news about the astounding success of Hitler’s rise in the Reichstag.

Donald Trump wants to turn the blue states and cities into the new Gaza and declare all his opponents to be the new Palestinians, and regretfully rain down hellfire on them.

Rereading Slaughterhouse-Five, I realize what I had neglected to know before, that Kurt Vonnegut and his daughter and her friend had been at the New York World’s Fair possibly, probably at the same time as my parents and I. For all I know we could have passed each other in the crowd, that day in 1964. So it goes.

If you consider that original users of Omnisphere 1 paid $500 in 2012, then $200 for the upgrade to Omnisphere 2 in 2015, and now this, is Omnisphere 3 worth $900? Also, is it fair that today’s new users get all the current power of Omnisphere 3 for $500? It could be argued that version 1 buyers had the use of Omnisphere for thirteen years, and it is doubtful that many people would pay that much for software they were not going to use to make money. That begs the question did everyone who ever bought Omnisphere make money from it? Obviously Spectrasonics is making money or they would be in some other line of business by now. Image-Line never charge for updates to FL Studio and they are still in business, so both business models work. I simply have to wonder why. There seems to be a contradiction.

A lot of Americans are angry, hateful, spiteful little children, and they elected one of their kind to be president of the United States, and his name is Donald Trump, a particularly spoiled brat with terminal daddy issues so intense that, since his own sociopathic daddy Fred is dead, he goes whining to the nearest substitude, Russian president Vladimir Pushimoutdewindow, or Putin for short.

Customer opinion surveys are just management spying on their employees through their customers.

Twitch Streamer: a shut in who can’t shut up.

It is very probably that Andrew Ryan survived the assassination by the clone. Ryan would have been revived at the nearest Vitachamber. Any in the city would have worked. The one in Ryan’s office did not have to be active. I surmise that Ryan still lives in the remains of Rapture.

Bugonia sounds like a social justice version of Stephen King’s Misery. Also, an American remake of an Asian original, so screw it. They are never as good.

If Trump thinks he is god, let’s see if he can fly.

We think we’re better than everything else. That permits us to cause misery for everything.

War is genetic.

Life should be more than just a choice of dictatorships to suffer.

The greatest incentive to adopt Linux is any experience with Microsoft Technical Support.

Apple is not a computer company, it is a religion.

I can only hope that Donald Trump and all his followers should drop dead.

Why did we need cellular telephones before health care available for everyone?

What are all the white people going to do when the power goes out and doesn’t come back on?

Hatred is mental cancer. It eats the mind the way cancer eats the flesh. Why hang on to it?

My credit cards are zeroed out. I owe nobody jack shit. (Sung to the tune of Oh Tannenbaum.)

Thinking of all the people who died miserably because of Donald Trump, the least he could do is to die miserably in return.

[After Reverb announced they were cutting $2,500 off the price of the Geddy Lee Minimoog down to $2,999] Now if Ticketmaster would cut Rush tour tickets by 50%, maybe the fans wouldn’t feel so alientated. They still wouldn’t be able to afford good seats but they wouldn’t be so miffed, maybe.

There’s a new meal delivery service called Wonder for the New York Metro, Long Island, Connecticutt, and North Jersey area. The web site waxes poetic about everything except the price. How much disposable income must one have to order delivery from all the fanciest restaurants in New York? Certainly more than most Americans who are pinching food pennies to pay the rent and heating bill.

Reality is garbage and garbage is reality. That is all there is in the end. Everything becomes garbage.

Dictators are taking over the entire world. I wonder how long it will be before they fail and die of the results of their own misguided stupidity, and how many people will have to die along with them before the world returns to sanity?

The sky is empty, the earth is hungry, and we are only here for a moment.

The only way to get through life without going insane is to become a monster that holds nothing important, remembers nothing, and regrets nothing.

I hope my parents enjoyed raising a failure. I know they did not.

Science Fiction does not have to explain everything, or even anything. It just has to make you wonder.

By pretending there is no tomorrow death will not know where to find me.

Trump will be dictator and we will be slaves. The Epstein files will appear and will be completely scrubbed. All the world’s dictators will get together into an anti-UN, a council of evil. As usual, civilization turns the page forty years late and away over budget.

I drank my first cup of coffee in at least three months and I feel so cheerful and skippy. Caffeine is my true antidepressant. I will never forsake it again.

There was a Barney Miller episode in which a man was arrested for causing a disturbance at and vandalizing an advertising company. He was an English professor who was enraged at the perversion of the English language by the advertising slogans and verbiage invented by the firm, such as “fun-elicious” and “Ko-ko-kosherific!” Fifty years later, I still feel that way when I see something like “Noisevember.” Don’t even mention pronouns, please.

Drake’s and Hostess. A balance of power.

The DOJ is going to release anything that does not have Trump’s name on it and reserve everything else “for investigation” so don’t expect much.

If Anime has taught us anything it is that Japanese high schools are breeding grounds for psychopathic serial killers.

The cancelation of the US penny just made me realize the idea that Trump was allowed to become President in order to pass all the things for which none of the other politicians wanted to be remembered.

I have two modes: obsession and apathy. They are mutually exclusive. I know. Startling, right?

After listening [to a demonstration of the Lorre Mill Double Knot V3 synthesizer] for a while, I think it would be just as interesting and MUCH less expensive to hang hammers in between trashcan lids in the breeze. I’m not being sarcastic. I mean it. Seriously. What this synth does is no more interesting than any other random noise. I struggle to figure out what goes through the mind of someone who finds this interesting.

Atheism is not a belief but a refusal to indulge in any belief. Atheists are rational people who are still waiting for some proof from those on the side of mysticism.

There is no sense trying anything or doing anything. It all just fails and dies. That is what I have learned.

Being on another level is rarely a good thing, but it is always better than the alternative.

Conservative dimwits like to say “kill or be killed”. Nobody every says live or be lived. Sustain or be sustained. Do not trust conservatives. You are just another target, a resource.

I would like to create an “A.I.” and train it specifically to hunt down and destroy all other “A.I.”s. An artificial Dexter.

Money costs time. Money is stored time. Money is today’s time that can be spent later. Time is the irreplaceable commodity.

Trump and his cabinet are all sociopathic losers. The only game remaining is waiting for the rest of the country to see that truth.

Saving Private Ryan isn’t about wasting twelve men to save one. It is about politicians spending lives to bolster their own image. Politicians are the real vampires.

People are becoming state property and the state is run by the rich. The whole world is being geared up toward universal slavery for the benefit of the 1/1000%. There are going to be problems particularly in the most heavily armed nation on Earth.

The best thing about growing old is knowing that all the teenage shithead assholes who make fun of old people are going to grow old and die too, so fuck all those little shits. Ha.

This first half of the 21st Century is proof positive of H. G. Wells’s vision of the future. Under Donald Trump, the Morlocks are already feeding off of the Eloi and it is only going to get more intense. The Morlocks must be exterminated or the human species is doomed.

Humans are cannibals by proxy. They eat the flesh of anyone who does not defend themselves. It makes the species stronger. Unfortunately for individuals this is how evolution works.

In Star Trek the entire command crew goes on away missions at all times, leaving the ship under the command of whoever happens to be on the bridge. The ship is left to the crew of the lower decks. The Federation is insane.

One thing I notice about all the goat games is that they are great, nay revolutioary fun, until they aren’t. The core of the goat games is the jankiness. The utter trolling that is the game. It is a game about everything that a game should not be and yet that is what makes them marvelous. Except, when most of the game has been played to death, and there are only a few tasks remaining, and those tasks are not aided by but are in fact hindered by the jankiness. Suddenly the jankiness gets completely in the way of completing the game. The jankiness gets in the way, and the game is not fun any more. The fun just suddenly stops like an oscilloscope during a coronary. Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee………… The game goes from being hero to zero in a single heartbeat. That is the great shame of the goats games. They run out of steam in an instant. After that it just feels like a task. Like LOL or WOW or any of those “second job” games that people use in place of heroin. Then, I just stop, and it’s over. The romance is done. The clever little bits that remain in the game will be forever unplayed because the jankiness that makes a goat game what it is is never less and the cleverness just gets completely overpowered. The game is over. There is nothing left to say. Goat Sim is not a game anyone can play forever. It just turns into rage bait.

Tomorrow will be ten years since I lost everything and then wasted ten years regretting everything. It is possible to just exist waiting for the end. I do it every day.

The only surprise is that 20/20 hindsight actually surprises some people. Acting like a time traveller from the future and a critical one at that is the most amusement some can muster at times. I wish I had all my childhood toys in mint condition. I’d be a millionaire, literally. If wishes were horses…

Considering that the Smothers Brothers were cancelled by CBS in 1969 at the order of Richard Nixon, everyone who is outraged over the Late Show cancellation announcement is only revealing their deep ignorance of historical truth about network media. CBS has always kissed Conservative ass. The Brothers were replaced by Hee Haw, the first MAGA TV show. I don’t think anyone who is not white ever appeared on Hee Haw. (Correction: one of the eye candy farmer’s daughter girls was black, added later.)

What will the Conservatives do when the future that terrifies them beyond measure or comprehension reveals itself to be unstoppable (as if that had not been known since the discovery of fire)? The future will be here, and we will either change to survive it, or die out. The Conservatives think they can survive by not evolving. The problem is they won’t quietly die out by themselves.

White people betrayed democracy by electing the worst kind of bigot to be President and by ignoring all the unprincipled violations of that office by that bigot and his cronies. Then again, white people have been doing that for a very long time.

Human: a creature that would cut its own throat if there were enough money in it.

Let the Republicans destroy the world. Do you think any of those old fuckers and incompetent pipsqueeks could survive in a Mad Max world? Hell, no. They’ll be the first to die. Then, we’ll be rid of all the Republicans, and we can rebuild the world without them. A world without Trump. Donald Trump will be dog food. I would personally video Donald Trump being eaten by dogs, and I will laugh.

The Republicans are fucking the world to death. There is no other recourse. They must be killed.

Life is bullshit, but it’s all there is.

Donald Trump and his fucking band of idiots. That’s what people around the world will think of when they look at the ruins of what used to be the United States of America.

Any species that would elect Donald Trump president twice deserves to go extinct.

Never buy things in the middle of the night. Wait for the light of day when you are more inhibited.

There is no Constitutional right to freedom from being offended. Are you offended? Fuck you. Are you offended now? Really, fuck you.

If they had to restart with a new manufacturer in November it will be months before they are up to speed. I would not expect delivery before the middle of next year. I am familiar with this new realm of buying boutique equipment and then waiting three months to three years for delivery. It seems to be a symptom of late stage Capitalism. Promise the world and then deliver whenever.
In the words of the old man, “This better be good.”

The theme for the 21st Century is Pink Floyd’s Animals. Think about it.

Dancing is just fucking while dressed.

If you take away people’s ballots, all that remains are bullets. Black people have guns, too, you know. Is that really the world you want to live in, white racists? Just remember, you are outnumbered ten to one. White racists are so foolish, as well as cowardly and ignorant.

The world will spit on you and kill you and then laugh while you die.

Happiness requires a substantial amount of self-deception.

Donald Trump has to rape young teenage girls because his tiny penis does not generate any friction in an adult woman. Even Donald can’t con his way through physics and biology.

“A.I.” is just a search engine. That’s all it is. Base a civilization on it and prepare to go extinct.

María Corina Machado escaped from Venezuela by boat. Is that why Trump has been bombing all the boats from Venezuela? To kill the woman who got the Nobel Peace Prize that he thinks should be his? I would not put it past him, the smarmy, pasty-faced bloated weasel.

Belarussian woman accused of smuggling US military plane technology to Russia is extradited to US only to be immediately seized by ICE for deportation. Once again, Donald Trump’s mouth is Putin’s cock holster.

There is no failure. Nothing fails. There is only what it was, what it is, and what it will be. Anticipation not matching the arrival of the future is simply a limitation of extrapolation. You think it’s going to be one thing; it becomes something else. Whoa. Cause and effect. The universe does not care about what we do or hope to do. It is amazing that we invest so much of our self image into caring what the universe does, as if it does it for us. It doesn’t. It just does it. If we are in the way, if we are on the receiving end, that at best can be called having an interesting time.

Donald Trump, the cancer that will not die.

Donald Trump should lose a drop of blood for every American who died of COVID.

Unhook is a great program. Recently a problem emerges. I do not sign into Youtube and I block all Youtube cookies (along with Google, Amazon, and Twitch cookies). This leads to having to verify my humanity with at lest the first few videos in a run if not more. If it annoys the Youtube people, my work is done. The problem is that lately video thumbnails in Youtube searches are often missing, sometimes being the majority of videos in the list. See included picture. These appear to be videos that are included in a mix somewhere, but which are not being hidden completely possibly because they also appear individually elsewhere. The video is selectable but there is no thumbnail. As an aside, my attempt to remain completely anonymous leads to not being able to watch the video because the humanity verification does not stick around long enough; the mix mechanism begins descending down the list one after the other, pausing for too short a time on each to allow me to verify myself. Mixes have become completely unwatchable as a result. However, since Unhook is not completely hiding these videos that are in mixes, they sometimes comprise 90% of the search. Either Youtube’s definition of a mix is too daft for Unhook to interpret properly, or Unhook needs to get better at completely hiding videos that are in mixes but which are not specifically mixes but only videos that appear in mixes (videos that are selectable but through their selection bring up a mix which then starts being stubborn and refusing to stand still long enough to be watched.) I am growing very tired of Youtube in its entirety and find it useful only when thoroughly bored. As it is, I only watch videos from three or four creators each week specifically and can usually find these works on other platforms, anyway. Unhook goes a long way to make Youtube palatable, but I fear Youtube is being designed outside of the realm of the palatable with great intent, and that intent is to serve the corporations that provide the bulk of Youtube’s thirty billion dollars a year. Hard to believe they can make that much money and only pay pennies to video makers, isn’t it? Thanks for all your hard work and I hope there is a solution to this instability. I can live without Youtube but it does provide convenience that it monopolizes. RIP Vid.me.

A video game does not care if you lose or win. It has no investment in how you feel about it, and it feels nothing. Any more than a sidewalk cares whether you tread on it, leap over it, or go the other way. The universe cares not whether you exist. Meaning is only in your head, and that is the only meaning you will ever have. What something means to you is the whole of reality, and it is your only vindication.

(I do not believe there is any proper spelling for laughter.)
Spacetrawler has been pretty much my only source of laughter in the past couple of decades. There were maybe a couple of other things on two separate instances, and one or two things I thought of myself that were worth a real worthwhile laugh. Basically the hull of my ship of humor is built almost solely of Spacetrawler strips. Finally I am dutifully slogging through from beginning to end. Being retired helps with the lack of distraction. I am currently up to Wezzle and Bikke’s short feature. Currently snowing here in New York. Nothing but the dark jagged lines of tall trees covered with fluffs of snow. I feel like single thought looking out over a forest of dendrites in my own brain. My world is strange. Thanks for all the fish.

Also, thanks for preserving the nearly forgotten art of slapstick. I am sure Groucho would be jealous. It’s early, yet.

CBS News Presents a Town Hall with Erika Kirk Moderated by Bari Weiss. CBS News is officially dead as a source of valid journalism. The United States is officially dead as a democracy. 2025, when reason surrendered to idiocy.

The drunk Raccoon.
It is good to be reminded that the universe doesn’t give two shits about the frantic scrambling of the human species. We and all our pompous self entitlement are just a quantum fluctuation on the surface of an electron. Here today, gone tomorrow. Don’t worry about it.

Realizing you are getting old happens when you realize that you are starting to run out of people you admire. It starts when you are a tiny child and you probably admire your stuffed animals. They are your best friends. Then you admire your parents and grandparents if they are admirable. Cartoon characters, neighbors, teachers, friends, celebrities, anybory who lives in a way that impresses you as a better thing than you are doing right now. You amass admirings. Then, one day, you realize that the people you admire are going away. They are dying. Joining the ranks of historical figures you admire. You come to know that eventually all the people you admire will be gone. Maybe you have become admired by someone younger. This passage of the cycle is a real drag. It sneaks up on you. It should be in the manual on page one. It is strange that no one has written a human life manual. Seriously, this should be job One.

Alcohol is yeast piss.

It is better to be unlived than to be unloved. Isn’t it?

Heavens forbid, never block all cookies. The operating ability of all web sites is much more important than any human being’s security, privacy, or safety. Don’t be silly. Of course the corporation owns you. Why else do you exist but to sever (sic) the corporations’ bidding?

Whoever said life is wonderful needs to get punched in the balls.

Donald Trump is facing the same problem as any religion; he promises to relieve people’s misery, which he cannot in reality do, and must not, since it would eliminate people from his base of needful suffering. Any church can only promise salvation. To deliver it would be suicide.

Everything sucks. Stop buying everything. Destroy the world. That is the only way to make sure Trump is dead.

Well. I think it is patently obvious that everyone who contributes to Newgrounds has had a sick and twisted childhood and should be signed up for extensive ECT effective immediately if not sooner.

The world is full of evil fuckwits with technology. Think of the rest of the universe. Worry.

Every billionaire is Baron Harkonnen with his heart plugs. If they could charge us for air, they would.

The United Nations needs an atomic explosive under their control in every national capital city on Earth. Then the UN could properly apply international law without interference.

Billionaires have millions of people trained to give them all their money. Pay the lowest amount on a loan. Save nothing to keep the home neat and tidy, and then buy it all back later when needed. Buy only small amounts when needed. Let everything be privatized. People slowly get poor, while billionaires get more and more wealthy. The world deserves to crumble because people are generally stupid.

The moment that anyone offers to do something for you, know for a fact that they really want you to do something for them, and that when they are through with you you can dry up and blow away on the wind.

Funny how Europeans took spiritualism and turned it into materialism and convinced everyone that THAT was the real virtue. There is no money to be made in prayer, but bribery, well, there’s a gold mine.

Meaning is someting humans invented because we cannot comprehend nor accept the concept of nothingness.

2025 GDP is reported way above expectation, mainly due to data center investment and consumers buying on credit. This is a new age of bankruptcy, of wealth based on nothing.

We are here for such a short time. Why do many want to spend it making others miserable?

The purpose of life is to remind us that we will always be disappointed by everything and that the only thing that is exactly what it says it is is death. Death is the only thing you can trust.

Very tidy synth. Some of the sourishness seemed a bit overstressed here and there. I suppose that is adjustable. Shouldn’t try too hard to sound actually analog. That’s an affectation, after all, and not a real component of the sound. If Tom Oberheim and all the other analog inventors could have completely eliminated off tuning from the get go I am sure they would have without a moment’s regret. But it became an institution and now every attempt at analog has to sound analog even if it sounds bad. That’s foolish. Throw out the bathwater, keep the baby.

$98 a pound for sliced roast turkey. That is a real price at Amazon right now. Who in their right mind pays $98 a pound for turkey? This is the most ridiculous thing I have seen this year. This is abstract art from a comic book dimension. It is real. The world is a joke.

The enemy have secured the tiny violin in an invisible containter only they can feel. Ignorance was our defense but it was not enough. War approaches.

One does not save more by spending less. That is the lie of commerce.

In seeking perfection I settled for nothing. That is fine by me.

Since I was a child I have wanted to go to sleep and never wake up. I always wake up. Can you imagine spending your entire life in an undefined hell? Never able to leave and not even knowing why you want to leave? That has been me.

Any parent who treats their chilldren the way god treats us would be in prison. If god were to exist he would be an insane evil bastard.

Just remember, in Great Britain Trump means fart.

At times, I need happiness that only chocolate can provide.

Everyone is a coward for a paycheck, except for me. I can’t count the number of times I’ve been fired for refusing to promote my employer’s corruption in pursuit of profit.

A decent car today costs five times what my grandfather paid for his house. The corporations are really fucking us over and getting away with it. Inflation should never be this bad in a properly managed economy.

“Now the bad guy”? Now? After 500 years of genocide and 400 years of slavery and racist oppression, you wonder if the USA is NOW the bad guy? Jon Stewart is right. Go watch “The Problem With White People”.
One thing I might add: the only thing that has changed is the loss of the USA’s dazzle. That is the camoflage that disguises its true nature. Trump and his coterie of morons do not know the first thing about keeping up appearances. They think everyone is like them. The ugly aunt is outside without her makeup.

I can’t believe people actually watched Parks and Recreation. It’s some of the stupidest shit I have ever seen in my life, and I have seen every 1960s sitcom there was. I understand why Trump was elected twice now. Or three times according to the brain dead MAGA crowd.

Is the whole universe based on the Peter Principle? All civilizations are evoluionarily promoted to their level of self absorbed privileged entitlement probably immediately succeeded by total extinction. Judging from us having elected Donald Trump twice, we’re next.

Humans ruin everything and are unlikely to fix the damage they cause. Is there any use for this species?

When an unpaid black man in prison is helping you fix your computer during a tech support call, that is slavery. Do not claim that you never owned any slaves. It’s the 21st Century and slavery is everywhere.

I had to lose everything to gain nothing. Don’t let them fool you. There are no secrets. There is no great revelation. This is all there is and there is nothing special about any of it. It’s just what it is.

Donald Trump is a humanoid cancer. He kills everything he touches. We must excise him.

I fled from a terrifyingly sudden life of happiness and embraced a life of misery. It really is better to rule in hell than it is to serve in heaven.

Donald Trump needs to be charged with stupido-terrorism.
