Excellent, the Office of People and Culture has announced that neither people nor culture are needed anymore

i do not have a lot of tolerance for people whining that Netanyahu fucked Biden over in order to get Trump in office so he could do whatever he wanted. yeah. he absolutely did that. that was obvious before 10/7.

there is no person on Earth more incompetent as a foreign policy thinker than Biden

Boohoo boohoo I live in one of the most pleasant places to live in all of Los Angeles County and now more pleasant people who go to or are employed by UCLA might also live here and, like, support or create businesses and services I might find pleasant to use

People like this have two options:
1) Continue living happily in your nice home.
2) Sell your nice home and fuck off.

Either way you are welcome to shut the fuck up!

Day 12 - Daddy's Head (2024). Benjamin Barfoot should get his naming privileges revoked, but otherwise a creepy little flick. The boy is annoying and bad at acting, but most children are at least a little bit of both

Day 11 - Casper (1995). I do not recommend being 33 years old for your first ever viewing. 8 seems more correct? Only one weird gay joke and one joke about how fat Oprah is, rendering Casper the wokest movie of 1995

It’s cringe, but being here gets me misty-eyed every so often. LA gives you moments of the best version of this country. Every possible type of person and life in one place, without a hint of that being a problem for anyone - everyone belongs. Even while explicitly celebrating ~the other~

Walking home through the Pasadena Latino Heritage Festival last night. A bus that a few months ago carried musicians leading the crowd in a “La Migra afuera” chant now has the same musicians keeping the dance floor going late into the night. More beautiful than any fascist can even conceive

Day 10 - Good Boy (2025). Some effective moments. Honestly Leonberg shouldn’t have cast himself if he can’t act. Also the perspective choice meant most dialogue sounded like ADR. More interesting as an idea than a movie

Day 9 - The Skin I Live In (2011). I’m behind on posting, not on watching. I’ll be meditating on the “supported HRC in 2016, anti-Gaza genocide, appeared in the Panama Papers, called for Roman Polanski’s release” combo on Almódovar’s Wikipedia page for a while

do medical boards not strip licenses for this kind of shit?

Anyway, I’m pretty tired of spending every day agonizing over the state of the evidence base in therapy/how little we know about active ingredients & how that makes me feel like a fraud practicing/teaching. I’ll just go find answers from the Divine Masters and levitating gurus or whatever the fuck

I can’t even imagine hearing myself blabber for the next 3 hours (teach a class) to 17 people who paid a lot for that and I’m at least trying to say things that are based on fact and on the general message of being kind to people

I mean, I guess to be fair the rich and powerful have always been certifiably insane and wrapped up in various cults, but having modern understandings available to you and choosing…. This… is intolerable. Also at least peasants didn’t have to know the exact ways the king was insane

“Everyone who is rich enough or close enough to reactionary politics is effectively in a cult with beliefs loonier than the median Heaven’s Gate member” is a relatively straightforward description of the current moment. I don’t know how we live like this

You simply have to read this @juliannemcshane.bsky.social and @kieraevebutler.bsky.social joint and not just because there's way more levitation in it than you would think possible. The Archangel Michael is also somehow involved www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

James Fallon is not worthy of what Hayley Williams put on his stage last night. God, the way he stomps on the moment after the song ended was an atrocity

Day 8 - Suitable Flesh (2023). Strange vibes. My wife described it as "I felt like I was watching Charmed" and that kind of tracks. Which is an odd vibe for Lovecraft? Also at one point Heather Graham says "Patient-client privilege" so that was funny to me, specifically
