Bits of Paul

The philosophy of dirt and rats is crumbling all about us. This is a time of Triumph.

@Iskander861 Yes

I know there’s a lot of shit on the timeline, but I need you to focus on the important things How long do my neighbor’s chickens have to stay on my property before I can adopt/foster/declare eminent domain over them?

"To understand the significance of the dietary guidelines released in January, it's important to understand what was supposed to be released—what a Harris administration would have published had the presidential election gone the other way." —@GraduatedBen im1776.com/2026/03/31/the…

👩「高校生で妊娠しました」 🇯🇵「早すぎるだろ」 👩「大学生で妊娠しました」 🇯🇵「無計画すぎ」 👩「20代で妊娠しました」 🇯🇵「仕事どうするの？」 👩「30代で妊娠しました」 🇯🇵「遅すぎない？」 👩「40代で妊娠しました」 🇯🇵「リスク高いでしょ」 そして最後に—— 🇯🇵「少子化が深刻です」 🇯🇵「若い人、なんで子ども産まないの？」 どのタイミングでも否定されるのに、 “産め”だけは求められる。 この空気で、増えるわけがない。

Gut bacteria were transferred from an obese, insulin-resistant human to mice. The mice developed obesity and insulin resistance.

gm frens you know less than you think you do You also know more than you think. Cling loosely to your thoughts. Never forget that anything is possible—and I mean, “anything.” If you’ve eyes to see, Earth is awash in Miracles.

My wife refers to these as "Richard Scarry jobs" (after the children's book author in question.

Don’t “forget about it” because “it’s Chinatown.” Remember. Cast not aside your glance. Do not avert your eyes. Stare into the gaping, abyssal maw and face the suffering of man. And then fight. Keep a fire burning. Bring life into the wasteland. Never abandon the poor and lost.

Every Christian man ought watch “Chinatown.” It is meant to calcify your courage, to cause you to give up. You watch it to know the world in which you live. It paints the darkness of the Earth—the same Earth you are to set aflame with Light and Love. Hide not under a bushel.

A striking description of my experiences in New England. Its subtly ruinous qualities get under my skin.

@Foodacriss That part’s never brought up because the only people talking about this stuff / taking their life cues from e.g. him are the same kinds of people who are never getting invited to do stuff (and so accordingly, they’re all hardcore coping about how parties etc. are lame).

No one would ever invite his ass to have a beer or watch a game. I don’t know why this part is never brought when discussing these kinds of people. What the fuck would I have to talk about with this nerd?

Stop my friend after church—“I have something for you! Don’t leave yet.” “But Paul, we’re leaving right now.” “Yes, I see that. I need my coat.” She waits, then walks ahead slowly, two of her kids in tow; she knows I’ll catch up. She’s quick even in heels. We walk to my car, talking. I rummage around in the backseat, produce a bag. Whip out an empty egg carton. (I buy eggs from them.) “Tada!” Her face falls slightly, her eyes narrow—I’m still holding a bag, “what is Paul up to?” she thinks—then, “Don’t feel like you have to accept this; no feeling guilty!” “Accept what, Paul?” I reveal several dozen eggs, handing the bag to her. Their flock has been decimated, going from over a dozen eggs a day to fewer than three a week. They’ve not had eggs for me in months, much less sufficient eggs for their family of nine. “These are just like yours! Farm fresh, soy-free, organic… your kids need them more than me…” She lays them on the ground gently, throws her arms up around my neck and shoulders, and hugs me tight, mirthfully disregarding over a foot of height differential. There are hints of tears in her voice as she thanks me. *********** Love those who love you. Take care of them. It is easier than you may think.

These young women have always existed, and they’re usually pretty happy and normal. Hard to remember this, but there used to be a time where politics and the news cycle wasn’t central to the daily experience. People subscribed to the local paper for classifieds, movie times, obituaries. The nightly news broadcast was for serious people. Fifteen minutes was enough, expanding it to thirty was pushing it. It’s sad that there’s fewer of these people now, since we’ve normalized news as entertainment and something that must be discussed and debated at all times.

@WBSRespecter @gaitanalyst He’s been back with bangers, too.

@gaitanalyst Welcome back bro.

The Marines can recruit by saying "this is very hard; don't you want to make this sacrifice?" but they only need to find 30K men a year, and everybody understands that they actually do offer status and camaraderie Trying to pitch marriage the same way, but with less status and no camaraderie, is certainly a choice.

@ReformedArgghh @DataRepublican @listen_2learn @ItsYourGov @JeffClarkUS Yes. Precisely.

@bitsofpaul @DataRepublican @listen_2learn @ItsYourGov @JeffClarkUS Eggs for their omelet.

🧵🚨 MAJOR BREAKING: A $15+ MILLION DOE contractor and NoKings protest organizer with active nuclear security contracts is on camera recommending a color revolution "how-to" 🚨🚨 His name is Steven A. Cash. Former CIA officer (Balkans, Clinton era). Under Biden: Senior Advisor to the Undersecretary at DHS Intelligence & Analysis. The day after Trump's 2016 election, Cash co-founded "The Steady State" — a network of more than 340 former intelligence community officials who decided Trump was an "existential threat". When Biden won, the threat was gone. Cash went into Biden's DHS. His own words: "we disappeared." Then Trump won again. "Suddenly the existential threat was back." The Steady State reactivated and is now a planning partner with NoKings. In the clip below, their meeting recommends "Bringing Down a Dictator" — the Otpor documentary about toppling Milošević — as "a how-to." Meanwhile, Cash's company Deck Prism LLC holds $15+ million in Department of Energy contracts. Almost every one: sole-source or non-competed. One is for the National Nuclear Security Administration — our nuclear weapons program — justified because "disclosure would compromise national security." His FEC records: 20+ donations over 20 years. 100% Democratic. Zero Republican. Including $1,001 to Kamala Harris on August 4, 2024, while his NNSA nuclear contract was active. I have the USAspending receipts, the FEC filings, and him on camera twice. As always, patience as I pull together the thread. 👇

@ReformedArgghh @DataRepublican @listen_2learn @ItsYourGov @JeffClarkUS They live in hell and seek to bring others into it. Misery not only loves company—it demands it.

I live in the world's most beautiful little town in Mexico, and the local expats here want to use their extravagant free time to hold a protest, on the cusp of the holiest week in Christendom, on the steps of the main church in the center of town. They see no problem with having the locals sacrifice an hour of their precious, hard-won, vacation time to the gods of their politics. It's sad that even in a virtual paradise, TDS sufferers can't enjoy themselves unless they make others suffer.

@Forms_Respecter @MarcusGustavus I’d ask how you come up with this stuff, but you’d just post a one-word response: “hotdog.”

GHM (good hotdog morning) Reject Saddam Hussein. Eat a hotdog.

It is because of poasts like this, and this website being free, that I happily pay money to Birdworld Inc.

The "slippery slope fallacy" was a war on pattern recognition They successfully shamed people into ignoring reality

Dangerously close to publishing something on my blogworld. It’s almost been a year. Lately I’ve spent much more desultory writing time on human conversation instead. Maybe that’s the wrong call. Who knows. Incarnation is more important than blogworld, though, I think.
