haha, the logic is sound.

God how I would love it if they spun off all that reality TV slop/unscripted/true crime. or, just let me hide entire genres.

I know a lot of people love that shit, but they do not love it more than I hate being reminded it exists.

some of them live a long ass time, especially the big ones. so giant turtle means basically immortal.

they are also pretty slow, which is the speed setting of 👑 Kings👑

imagine running when you can walk.

first of all, no one did more to push out Joe Biden than Joe Biden during the debate, when he literally died on stage several times in front of God and everybody.

the left had been insisting he was in cognitive decline for years by this point, and consistently dismissed for it. but then his cooked brain was on everybody’s TV and suddenly some establishment democrats realized this could not be waved away or dismissed.

so the gears turned and we got his unpopular, Xanax popping, choke artist VP.

too bad they don’t go into much detail about Li Hongzhi’s claims of supernatural abilities, knowledge, or any of the thousand details that would make the Chinese government’s position “yeah it’s a cult” pretty tame and obvious.

the US loves to sponsor, support, finance, and shelter violent, reactionary religious fanatics from countries that resist our hegemony. weird how their interests align so easily.

really excited for all these little proto-terror cells to rupture inside the imperial core so I can get stabbed to death by some Hand of God paramilitary group for vocally supporting women’s literacy or whatever happens to be revealed as extraterrestrially satanic that month by the Grand Prophet of Uranus.

you know it was a good one when a coworker is asking who did it.

looking into it…

I was at this conference back in my academic days dinner with a cluster of GMU junior faculty and researchers. luckily zero economists, all pretty firmly left politics. the most outspoken one introduced his school as being “the modern proving ground of all academic and scientific corruption in the US. when you look at a map of how right-wing dark money from the Kochs flows through the academy, GMU is always where the process is prototyped and developed for mass replication elsewhere.”

he was pretty funny in that deadpan. he had spent the last several years looking at the political economy and critical geography of energy leases or something grim like that in central Appalachia.

I thought the entire organizing principal of the Kingdom was to betray, loot, and murder as many people as possible all over the world so that like 27 extremely inbred families can have big, unmaintainable houses with names like “Biffleworth” or “Codswallow”, wear several layers of fine clothing, and twirl each other about at garden parties or feasts where social climbers try to seduce them and birth some peripheral appendage with a title like Baronet of Turdshire.
