"Endtroducing..." is one of the finest albums of the last few decades. A pretentious critic called it "Apollonian" and the description fits. A stranding of samples and musical detritus, transformed via drum machine into a temple dedicated to the oracle of nostalgia. Listen.

I demand Anglosaxons be legally protected to carry Seax on our person for cultural reasons henceforth The Seax is a blade not just vaguely related to some modern quasi religion like Punjab Sikhs, it is literally a part of our ethnic identity to the point it forms our name itself

@Hesycrashed @DissidentFrau I will block everyone who responds to you. Message received. 🫡

@DissidentFrau "She's blocked me and we've never even interacted!!"
Yeah homie bc I can READ
English
Sometimes for fun I peruse your comment sections and block the people messing with you before they can get to me.
It’s a hard job but someone has to do it.

@8EN_A I know VA BEACH well, it's great 👍

Bartenders are allowed and even required to cut off patrons who are too drunk but restaurants and grocery stores can’t legally deny service to the obese

@8EN_A Apparently Hunter S Thompson typed out The Great Gatsby and A Farewell to Arms. This exercise speaks to me

You know what, I think I'm going to get a few legal pads and hand-copy Heart of Darkness

It's called inclusivity, okay??

Dude, you have to let me sleep with your wife. Imagine you didn't know which body you'd be born into. You're just as likely to be me as you. Wouldn't you want me to sleep with your wife if you were me? It's called empathy, chud. The wedding veil of ignorance.

@Hesycrashed There was a rash of movies that came out in the early in the early 90s that would say this almost verbatim about Gen X while also being the "Spirit Halloween" version that cultural moment. Reality Bites, Singles, etcetera. #irony
English
Any time you see an image collection of pop culture stuff claiming to represent a generation, know that it is the Spirit Halloween version of a time period: fun, with a kernel of truth present, but also really really stupid, and to many, even unrecognizable

@DissidentFrau I know exactly who you're talking about. That account has strange method of engagement farming.

Noticed another feminist having a manic episode has made her way into Orthodox circles. Instantly avoid. Alarm bells ring.
I just shake my head at this point.

What’s the best right wing coded movie that was clearly not intended to be for a right wing audience?
You’re not allowed to say The Matrix.

Borrowing tomorrow’s happiness today (eventually the bank account runs dry):

-junk food
-nicotine
How to make deposits to the bank account:
-deep work/ attending / “raw dogging”
-meditation
-movement
-human connection without tech
-nature
-discipline
-single ingredient foods, including animal meat/organs
What’s the balance in your “happiness” bank account?
