Oh, for those halcyon days of normal scandals like vehicular manslaughter and suit colors.

I’m an ex evangelical.

To put it in a sentence, they love Trump because the false image they have of him fits the heretical version of Christianity they follow.

The chatbots tell you what you want to hear.

Don’t forget that.

I’m honestly just deeply interested in this guy every time I hear about him.

Not because I think he’s smart, on to something, or at all worthwhile though.

It’s just…. Kind of morbidly entertaining to watch a man spend so much time and money to deal with an obvious and incredible fear of death.

He’s going to die some day, and probably from one of these things he’s paying for to avoid dying. It’s Qin Shi Huang shit.

And, ya know what? There are some truly wonderful and interesting works of philosophy dealing with his exact problem, but our boy is too much of a tech bro to even consider that someone may have found a way to deal with the fear of death a few thousand years ago.

So, fuck it, burn that cash bud.

Somewhere, the one remaining user of Temple OS just woke up in a cold sweat.

Hard work feels great when it benefits you, your community, folks you care about, or even just real people.

It feels fucking awful to work hard when the only people who will benefit are some rich assholes who exploit you.

Teaching people to be compassionate out of a promise of reward was always a terrible idea. No society has ever really rewarded kindness.

We should be teaching young people that compassion is an act of rebellion against uncaring systems and always has been.

You hated Discovery because it was too woke.

I hated Discovery because it wasn’t woke enough.

We are not the same.

We are deeply honored to have received your application (which we did not bother to read).

We’re sorry we didn’t hire you, but also never contact us again.

Someone in HR who has nothing to do with this process.

For those who don’t know, the guy on the left is a professional wrestler called MJF.

His whole persona is dedicated to being a tool, and he’s pretty good at it. Highlights include telling the world that he’s “better than Moses.”

What I’m saying is that he’s doing a bit in this image. It’s kayfabe.
