by the way, iran has a deep cinematic history with lots of auteurs and incredible films (kiarostami’s taste of cherry is a classic & one of my favs) so there’s narrative strength in the LEGO vids—that is clear. “many upset by the many upsets” (my new year’s post)

Dang, the intellectual class is losing the will to live! I LOVE LEISURE. I always have. It is a luxurious state of existence for a human being who has an endless capacity for imagination and is still living in a posture of curiosity towards the world, beings, and the cosmos. The point is that not everyone deserves it or has an ability to exist within the vastness of its existential expanse. These two are feeling The Void. In that sense, “earning your leisure” is more of a spiritual struggle than an economic one. As the illusional trappings of the materialist ego fall, The Void appears. What will you fill it with? —————————————- “Life is extending while the things that traditionally gave it meaning are in decline.” “We have become “a downwardly mobile species”, argues the writer Tom Rachman. A life in which our minds are superfluous seems less worth living.” “Our lifespan has risen faster than our healthy years. The discrepancy is worst in the US, where the average person in 2019 lived with disability or sickness for 12.4 years before death.” —Steven Kuper, “The creeping feeling that life is getting too long,” FT, 4/11/26 ————————————- “If I am right, and the political chaos of this era owes something to leisure, then it follows that we should fear the future.” —Janan Ganesh, “The Tragedy of Leisure,” FT, 4/11/26

Can we all appreciate this moment? I get it is not clear as yet but it should be. Not just U.S./Israel lost—> PALANTIR LOST. i.e. Techno-dictatorship LOST. They freaking LOST. Thought they had it & us in the bag. The data centers are on hold. The leaders of ChatGPT, ANTHROPIC, xAI are sissy fighting over gov’t contracts that are meaningless anyway. A whole House of Cards is collapsing. We are here. Now. Honestly, I thought this was starting in 2001 & maybe it did & took a while but in any case, we made it. A whole new world is beginning. AND WE ARE HERE FOR IT. (Oh & that Western hemisphere thing/strategy whatever—>NOPE. Not happening!)

ok so, when i called these guys “f***tards” or “f***turds” i meant it literally not figuratively. turns out these silicon lovers are all screwing each other figuratively & literally. that’s even more funny. ClosedAI = Anthropic = xAI (spinoffs) and now they are fighting in court about who gets to be on top (figuratively but perhaps literally) and it is all the same tech with different marketing and they are all trading the same intestinal parasites. 🦠 and we’re supposed to think these slovenly promiscuous losers are leading the American economy and technocracy. yeah. ok. good thing their code is leaking like they’re leaky guts. i know that’s mean. but is it really?

it’s called: DIRECTED CONSCIOUSNESS. it’s how we rack up wins. one day i’ll explain it. for now the fact that everyone thinks thiel is the antichrist & altman a psycho is a marker of the processes’ fruits.

good news is i can retire from trolling altarboy/alterboy. seems like the collective unconscious consciously has deemed him a lying psychopath. what i learned from ronan’s article: he slept his way up (implied, not stated). graham guy who gave him the YC job is certainly an enthusiastic “mentor.” he’s technically illiterate (he comes off as not bright to me so i appreciate that is confirmed). met his husband in thiel’s hot tub. (gross. mega gross). in other good news, it seems they are all just going to tear each other down like some bitter scorned lovers: amodei perhaps leaked his notes, elon suing sammy, j.d. will have to rebuff thiel as the public can’t stand the “antichrist” which is thiel’s new moniker, and so those two will go at it, again, less work for us, they can destroy themselves. i don’t think they are even billionaires at this point.

dear sam alterboy, i just learned from james li that you are getting sued by your sister for alternating current with…your sister. that’s…awkward. (to put it mildly). anyhoo, apparently you are using the “crazy woman” defense. we are all familiar with this male trope utilized frequently when a woman says something one male or a group of males does not want to hear (or, more crucially, for others to hear) and the best way to delegitimise their words is to claim “she’s crazy”! while i personally can not comment on the mental health of your sister, or really, on anyone, i would like to humbly point out that your colleague, zuckybuck, recently lost a very significant case in cali (i was driving in my car & i heard those lawyer ads asking for claimants who’ve been harmed by social media to contact them) with the CRAZY MOM defense, a loose but approximate iteration of the CRAZY WOMAN defense. to save your legal team some work, and the judge and jury, I thought you’d want to stalk (no pun intended) oops, i mean, stock as in UP on some CRAZY WOMAN gear. at this shop, called the CRAZY WOMAN TRADING CO, you can stalk, sorry, STOCK (tanking, yours? off topic. IPOHHHH, NOOOO) UP on tee-shirts, cups, keychains, etc all emblazoned with your legal team’s defensive strategic phrase: CRAZY WOMAN. Singular not plural. It only takes one.

i listened to 20 seconds of this vid so you don’t have to: he opens, “our great republic was founded on a simple, yet bold idea: our rights, as citizens, are not granted to us by government, but, instead, by God.” CAN THIS GUY READ??? The only “God” reference was added in the 1950’s to the weirdo Pledge of Allegiance. Neither the Bill of Rights nor the Constitution refer to “God” AT ALL. Only the date as in “the year of our Lord.” Article IV of the Constitution BANS religious tests for public office. The Declaration of Independence refers to a generalized “Creator” and the “Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God” referring to the powers of the earth and separate and equal station not one religon’s “God.” Jefferson, primary author of the DoI) was not a Christian, he was a Deist. This pathetic attempt at a Holy War is a Folly War, as we can all see. And when Hegseth realizes all along he’s been worshipping a black guy, Iyesus/Jesus, wonder how he’ll handle that REVELATION! Pied Piper leading fake Christians to their slaughter. image

i guess it is appropriate that the end of the american empire would be crash landed by a caucraysian man with a sphincter for a mouth from a family associated with the KrayKrayKray so that FOR MILLENIA no one or civilization will ever forget exactly where white supremacy led the world.
