@Timodc I was not prepared for the reality of how retarded authoritarians actually are. Just a constant stream of stupidity decisions.

Not enough ink spilled on how fucking stupid MBS and MBZ were to encourage Trump/Kushner bc they thought this would turn out well for them.

A million people have rightly dunked on this guy, & I don’t care, I’m going to do it too, bc these people should have their catastrophic and massively consequential failures in judgement shoved in their faces forever. Sometimes a dog doesn’t learn unless you rub it’s face in it.

Feeling robbed of my path to citizenship right now after grinding a PhD and contributing to foundational AI + computing technologies for the United States for the past ~ 10 years. Feels like robbing top and technologists like me of the opportunity to achieve the American Dream.

This sucks. America should welcome greatness. Builders, innovators, and creators should have a fast path to citizenship. I can’t fathom why we would make life harder for founders starting billion dollar companies that want to anchor themselves in the US.

Something tells me we're not going to have this kind of energy for America's 250th.
You'd think by now I'd be seeing "250" everywhere but I honestly do not see it anywhere.
I mean this is a quarter-millennium here. You'd think we'd be exceedingly hyped already?

@BooBakerBiz @atrupar Buddy, there is nothing to “fix”. The system is working as intended. Nobody is coming to save you.

@atrupar We need these billionaires to stand up and hop into politics. They have the Fuck You Money to tell politicians to fuck off and actually fix things.
Maybe that’s a hot take by me to trust billionaires who are a value add to the world compared to politicians who just take…

@TheoVon You start criticizing a nation committing a genocide and your “friends” tell the world you’re having a suicidal breakdown.

@AlysssaHazel Yeah, it was astonishingly good, but I just couldn’t take it. My point of “nope” was the bush babies.

Well Lads,
As of page 233 and chapter 16, I'm tapping out of Blood Meridian.
I may return, but (not to get graphic) I've thrown up multiple times since starting the book. My stomach issues didn't start with it, but it isn't exactly helping. It resulted in me starting to skim, and I didn't think that was fair.
Here are my thoughts on what I did read;
Cormac McCarthy is a prose master, creating incredibly vivid imagry (for better or worse) in compact executions.
Part of the reason Blood Meridian is so effectively gruesome is how quickly and smoothly the startling details enter the text.
There's also a overarching dread to the whole piece, built with an overwhelming oppression which McCarthy carried over from The Road.
I personally can't comment on the nihilism because I didn't finish it, so I can't comment if anything good comes of any of it.
I just felt incredibly worn out, though that could be whatever I'm sick with.
Is it worth reading?
I think it's a well-crafted book, and I think the reason McCarthy resounds with people is that he forces you to feel something, even if it's revulsion. Which is unique in the world of SSRIs and content slop.
If you did finish the book, feel free to let others know how you feel.
I'm gonna go...hold Squirmy or something. Lol.

Also, further reading is going to be delayed. I don't feel particularly well.

I’m a MAGA Republican. That doesn’t make me your enemy. It means I see things differently. We can disagree on politics and still respect each other. That used to be normal. 🙏🏻🇺🇸

God works in mysterious ways. Like if you spend decades hoarding wealth and destroying the housing market then one day you have to hear your adult son cumming.

Getting caught posting from an alt account that’s supposed to be your own mother. I’d feel sad for his loneliness and neediness if he was literally anyone else on the planet.

@StillBill2026 @EricSpracklen Or Henry might be a remote viewer. If time travel is on the table, then so are psychic phenomena.

@EricSpracklen The question is, was this planned in 2023 or is this time travel?

We returned to the U.S.-Mexico border for a reality check on how much the situation there has changed under President Trump’s crackdown.
Unlike 2023, we did not see mass illegal crossings or scenes of desperation.
Instead, we saw a quiet border.

@punk9059 You are not the president of the United States of America.
There was a time when we held presidents to a much higher standard than the average person. Things were a lot better then.

@graveair At least part of that is linked to the national decrease in alcohol consumption, imo. Definitely a link for me and some of my family.
