My love of The Perpetual Outsider Perspective is the essence of why I adore both Scorsese's HUGO and Spielberg's THE FABELMANS.

The observer who is at once present yet also detached, distanced, and as such...seeking purpose.

In one corner we have Pornhub refusing to store users' PII & government IDs because of the myriad security problems inherent in that situation

In the other corner, openAI very much wants to store your government ID attached to your gooning chats

Do you have a sense for what it is you're looking for? Or pursuing? Something that you feel you can concretely point to with the pages of those you admire?

That might help clarify--what it is that's present in that ideal that you feel is absent in your work.

The rikishi are taking-in the town and doing what we all do when in London.
Seeing the sights, admiring the parks, shopping on High Street, taking tea at Fortnum's, using the olde phonebox, eating Chinese, and having a terrific time.

liberalism has no solutions, only empty rhetoric and a policy of adopting the ways and means of their nominal opponents until they themselves are an ineffective shadow of the monsters currently stripping the american carcass. it will not save you. it will not save us.

When you see a new non-fiction book drop, and it has a Gerald Horne co-sign...

We're in for a home run here...

Worst part is you will never see any of them come out and go 'Shit. I was wrong. I did something unconscionable and evil. I believed and spread horrible things. I can't wash that away. Fuck. I'm sorry'.

No admitting of wrongdoing.

They are forever justified, for only they have endless Interiority.

Will never forget so much of the bullshit that people were saying throughout, from the perpetuation of the NYT rape lies to yelling at anyone questioning them, to the Vote Blue bullshit of Election time.

Pure mask off demonic shit.

So many believe in 'America First', even tho they might not say it

Lot of people treated a genocide of a people, sponsored by their own country, as an annoying pet issue that needed to be shelved after the killing as complete or pushed aside for other political problems. And pretended that it was just too complicated to engage with.

Now that the American media can go back to never covering the constant killing of Palestinians and Israel’s expansionist project, these people can go back to writing their screeds about imagining a better world and accepting the lesser evil, and all the other fucking nonsense they love opining about
