I’m gonna start posting on X highlight from my book and art collection that I’ve been posting on Instagram. You can follow me on IG here. instagram.com/malpais_books_…

The home of Cormac McCarthy outside of Santa Fe

That is no country for old men. The young In one another's arms, birds in the trees, —Those dying generations—at their song, The salmon-falls, the mackerel-crowded seas, Fish, flesh, or fowl, commend all summer long Whatever is begotten, born, and dies. Caught in that sensual music all neglect Monuments of unageing intellect. ———— An aged man is but a paltry thing, A tattered coat upon a stick, unless Soul clap its hands and sing, and louder sing For every tatter in its mortal dress, Nor is there singing school but studying Monuments of its own magnificence; And therefore I have sailed the seas and come To the holy city of Byzantium.

@JomboyMedia I hate this so much. I’m over here trying to hate the Dodgers but this feel-good stuff bit by bit makes that a little bit harder.

Dalton Rushing was quick to make sure the umpire was all good

This is one the most beautiful pop songs ever written. I’m not afraid to say it.

@stoolgambling Next time just tell us it’s hockey at the beginning so I can stop watching.

Which team across the big 4 sports leagues has the most colors in their logo?

“Who Let the Dogs Out” is a better song than “Imagine”

More on how OBAA is Rightwing coded. We’ve all seen the heat maps study by now. These side-by-side heat maps are from a 2019 psychology study that explored how liberals and conservatives allocate moral concern across social categories. The study found that liberals tend to distribute empathy more broadly, extending it to distant entities like animals or the universe, while conservatives focus their moral concern more narrowly on close-knit groups like family or in-group members. The key difference highlights liberals' wider scope of compassion versus conservatives' preference for structured, proximate relationships. In the movie—like in real life—the Leftwing revolutionary fanatics are childless and just extremely self-centered, focusing on and celebrated for being their “authentic selves.” Once Bob, however, has a child with Perfidia, he pretty explicitly says to Perfidia, “We have a family now and you can’t keep doing this revolutionary shit. You need to start living for Willa, the baby daughter.” Perfidia though, just up and leaves and even says, “I need to focus on me and live for myself.” The next revolutionary act goes badly of course and Perfidia is out of the picture and Bob is left to raise Willa on his own. Bob’s not a great father but he’s at least present and he ceases his revolutionary activities because he cares about his daughter. So Conservative lesson no. 1. The hero of the film, Bob, is the hero because he migrated from the Leftwing heat map to the conservative heat map. At one point in the movie, a white character who were supposed to think is a monster, shows up at a colleague’s home for a meeting at an underground lair. The home he enters though is the stereotypical white person grandma’s house. Nicely decorated, orderly, immaculately landscaped, with a circular driveway. You can imagine the house even smells like fresh baked cookies. The older lady whose home it is even asked her guest if he’s hungry and if she can make him banana pancakes. Bob and Willa though live in squalor. Their home is on the outskirts of their town and it’s a mess inside and outside. It looks like it smells of cat piss and pot smoke. Also, Benecio del Toro’s home is a multi-storied maze of hallways, rooms, and makeshift furniture. It’s filled with a number of families all of which it’s presumed are undocumented immigrants. All the kids in his home are shown just sitting around mindlessly looking at their phones. Basically, Benecio del Toro’s home is portrayed to be absolute chaos. If you asked anybody watching the movie—regardless of their political leaning—which home they would want to live in and all of them would say Mrs. Banana Pancakes. 100%.

@dissidentwest One Battle After Another Okay, not the best. But deserves to be mentioned because of the fact that it IS a Rightwing coded movie when everybody just reflexively assumes it’s Leftwing.

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.

@micsolana @xwanyex @HusbandOfAyn The absolute worst part of the ai revolution is the per elation that the em dash = ai I’ve been using the em dash for years and now I have to be concerned that my normal writing will be thought of as ai just because of the em dash.

@HusbandOfAyn I know you're only joking but this shit drives me craaaaazy, the computers DID NOT INVENT THE EM DASH. the computers use the em dash BECAUSE WRITERS USE THE EM DASH.

I have started to notice very smart people who use AI every day, typically as a kind of thought partner, have started to sound like AI, not only employing whatever popular new turn of phrase, but in this kind of bulleted cadence of speaking — a copy of a copy. concerning!

@MaryBowdenMD “Experts say …” Every time.

Reuters and NY Times reached out to me today for comment, indicating I was spreading “misinformation.” See my response in comments.

@_cde_saffamemes @dissidentwest At its most basic level, the lesson of OBAA is that a life spent pursuing radical revolution is hopeless, nihilistic, and dangerous; and that happiness, contentment, and meaning is found in having a family and doing your duty as a parent.

@natecooley @dissidentwest Absolutely yes. They're mocking antifa: -Leo is a stonner-cuck who thinks he's Che' -They're all incompetent without actual goals -No loyalty - they keep ratting on each other. Even the 'better' black chick (not the deadbeat mom) ratted - which is why the school gets raided

I love Texas, but my god the Dallas skyline is an aesthetic abomination. Worldwide skyline rankings: 1. Chicago 2. 4000-way tie of also-rans

@Flakyjake1000 @Micah_CBC @ASU_Baseball Lincoln and Tempe/Scottsdale/Phoenix are uhhhhhh, not the same.

@Micah_CBC @ASU_Baseball LOLOLOLOLOL it holds 8,700 ppl!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Nebraska holds 8,000 and had 7,100 to 7,900 all 3 games this weekend!!!

Had a great crowd just last night when it was 90 in the evenings. @ASU_Baseball has a GREAT fanbase

This is such an egregious example of gerrymandering that it should render all Democratic complaints about GOP gerrymandering as moot and laughable. In the part of the country where lack of representation led to the American Revolution, here we see the Democratic Party shutting out the +\- 40% of New England GOP voters from having any representation in the U.S. House.

@willchamberlain @hasanthehun The Republicans of New England thank you for your support

the va supreme court denied the results of the redistricting referendum. scotus gutted the voting rights act and tennessee carved up the last dem district destroying black voter power in the state. those who make peaceful revolution impossible, make violent revolution inevitable

@Mappy6984 All that just to put it on those disgusting crumbly flour tortillas 😂😂

Thoughts on the Audemars Piguet x Swatch? I'm confused why has a luxury brand decided to launch a $300-$400 watch. 😭

@1packadayhabit Three ASU Sun Devils in one pack. Reggie Jackson, McDowell, and Bannister

The Hunt continues with more 1990 Upper Deck😄

@ASU_SuperFan I see what you did there. I think we’ll all be glad ASU bet on Boley and folded what they had with Leavitt.

While haters undervalue Sam Leavitt’s talent, I agree w/ ASU’s decision not to meet his $ demands - an expensive gamble for 1 season. His injury is serious and might continue to impact his mobility, which is a key component of his game, this season. I definitely wish him the best
