everyone should work on art. the election is a career opportunity for criminals, and is beneath you. it has never been more important to just make something that isn't disgusting. manifest a more beautiful world, if only in the small corner of it that you can touch.

there are some very good records on this list but this music (with a few exceptions) has zero relevance to today's youth. the smarmy wit has not aged well. kids like nirvana and then they graduate to metal. indie is dad rock for a generation that didn't procreate.

two years ago, trump might've had the political capital to do something about the medical industrial complex. it would have been risky, but possible. instead he renamed the gulf of mexico and served israel. MAYBE he'll be able to rebuild the part of the white house he tore down.

Do I think ‘the virologists’ should all be boiled down into biofuel? Yes, that is something I would like to see happen. If people in the Trump administration are making a list for things to do the next 2 years, please consider.

one thing not widely understood during the trump era is nobody really likes republicans. trump is funny, entertaining, knows how to work a crowd. but a big part of HIS assent was how much everyone hated the actual republican party.

but it's theater. nobody really knows who runs the country, and this should have been perfectly clear during the biden administration, as he was self-evidently incapable of running anything, much less the most powerful empire in history, and yet the gears kept turning anyway.

whoever was actually in charge yesterday morning is still actually in charge today. if you stand to directly benefit financially from either party winning elected office, then it makes sense to care about the outcome. otherwise, just live your life.

phony contemporary public intellectuals promote marcus aurelius because it's simple enough for them to read it and actually more or less understand what's being said. their goal is to convince stupid people that they are smart, with as little effort as possible.

there are important ideas missing from nathan fielder's fantastically entertaining movie. first, and most importantly, a working theranos machine would have been a horrific nightmare leading to countless millions of healthy people suffering iatrogenic deaths.

this is not to absolve her or blame, but in such a situation she would have no better option than to smile and nod, to dissimulate relentlessly, to fanatically avoid acknowledging manifest reality.

fielder has made the single most inventive documentary i've ever seen, a timeless masterpiece. people will be trying to re-create the effect it has on the viewer for decades. it nevertheless falls short of investigating these key points, and the public remains in the dark.

potentially funny bit would be to always post about the big outrages 2 or 3 weeks behind schedule, at the exact moment they get memory holed. like today you'd post about the converse ad that allegedly invoked lynching, every bit as melodramatic as people were when it was fresh.

note this bit could work both ways. you could imitate people who buy into the retarded outrage cycles OR the people whose thing is counter-signaling the outrage.

i got real sick last week, had to go home early from work, i ate some leftover pizza then went to bed. the next day i felt mostly better and went back to work. one strange thing the covid insanity did to people was convince a lot of them that being sick is a big deal. it's not.

you just take it easy until you get better. if you're lucky enough to live with someone who loves you, they make you tea. if you live alone you have to make your own tea. there's nothing to it.
