"He tasks me; he heaps me; I see in him outrageous strength, with an inscrutable malice sinewing it. That inscrutable thing is chiefly what I hate; and be the white whale agent, or be the white whale principal, I will wreak that hate upon him."

If you're using protein powders, be aware: some of them contain more lead in every serving than you're supposed to get in a week.

I vaguely remember that episode. Were they wearing exosuits, or was it just the idea of dolphins attacking humans?

Picture of soldiers in front of Big Cypress Lodge, a pyramid-shaped hotel in Memphis, Tennessee. Text says

It is 2025 BC. I am a soldier from one of the outlying provinces called to defend the pyramid in Memphis.

“Why’d you come up here, Gus?” Clara asked. “You ain’t a cowboy.”

“The truth is, I was hoping to find you a widow,” he said. “I didn’t miss by much, either.”

Clara was amused that her old beau would be so blunt. “You missed by years,” she said.

Have they done an article about how old Trump is lately? (Or ever.)

People mean well. They want to contribute and share the things they love.

... but yes.

The extreme left’s weird soft treatment of Nick Fuentes is a reminder that if you go far enough in either direction, you loop back around

Looking for a little terrier in November. Been holding off while life stabilized, but my health is good, I feel able to commit -- if only to a dog, :) -- and will be in the market about then.

If you know of a puppy needing a home in SoCal, drop me a line.

Daniel Keys Moran @fatsam.bsky.social · 1d

I definitely need one of those.

Daniel Keys Moran @fatsam.bsky.social · 1d

That would be a very long answer. Having fascist in firm control is probably the number one reason, but there are individual reasons that go state by state, and I'm not listing them all.

Daniel Keys Moran @fatsam.bsky.social · 1d

Nice. Congratulations.

This is phrased, probably for marketing, as an "AI" problem.

It's much worse than that. If China decides it's had enough of American conservatives, the scenarios are grim.

That was an easy map to make.

If I was still in build a ranch territory, Alaska would flip to Maybe. But I don't think I am.

Color-Coded map of the American states, showing which states I would absolutely live in, and willing to live in, might live in, would reluctantly live in, and would never live in.

The West Coast, the Northeast, and Colorado, are the likely targets. Everything else goes from bad to never.

"Pro lifers" are perfectly consistent. They are a death cult worshipping a murder God -- for all born humans. But they still need new flesh for Moloch.

There's no "regular politics" anymore because you can no longer maintain the idea that we all agree on common goals but we only differ about the means of getting there or whatever. The guys in charge now are plainly amoral, sadistic nihilists. They delight in it! You can't civilly disagree with that

I read Peter Thiel’s essay on Alan Moore’s Watchmen and it unquestionably proves that piss poor media literacy is foundational to this recent rise of fascism.
