lmao why do people keep thinking right wing pundits are secretly whispering Epstein tier poo poo with each other all the time? everything we�ve seen with dominion and Alex Jones seems to indicate that their communications boil down to talking about how loving dumb their audience are, and getting ghosted.

Because they are all weird perverts, OP

DFW was a generational talent and you�re doing yourself a disservice if you haven�t read A Supposedly Fun Thing I�ll Never Do Again and Ticket To The Fair

quote:

But when the sevens and eights hit the floor for a series of "Armed Service medleys" (spandex with epaulets and officers' caps and batons over shoulders like M16's), errant batons start pin- wheeling into the ceiling, tent's sides, and crowd, all with real force. I myself duck several times. A man just down the row takes one in the solar plexus and falls out of his metal chair with a horrid crash. The batons are embossed "Regulation Length" all, the shaft and have white rubber stoppers all, each end, but it is that hard dry kind of rubber, and the batons themselves aren't light. I don't think it's an accident that police night-sticks are also called service batons.

Physically, even within same-age teams, there are marked incongruities in size and development. One nine-year-old is several heads taller than another, and they're trying to do a complex back-and-forth duet thing with just one baton, which ends up taking out a bulb in one of the tent's steel hanging lamps, showering part of the stands with glass. A lot of the younger twirlers look either anorexic or gravely ill. There are no fat baton twirlers.

A team of ten-year-olds in the Gingersnap class have little cotton bunny tails on their costume bottoms and rigid papier-rnache ears, and they can do some serious twirling. A squad of eleven-year-olds from Towanda does an involved routine in tribute to Operation Desert Storm. To most of the acts there's either a cutesy ultrafeminine aspect or a stem butch military one, with little in between. Starting with the twelve-year-olds-one team in black spandex that looks like cheesecake leotards-there is, I'm afraid, a frank, sexuality that begins to get uncomfortable. Oddly, it's the cutesy feminine performances that result in the serious audience casualties. A dad standing up near the top of the stands with a Toshiba video camera to his eye takes a tomahawking baton directly in the groin and falls over on somebody eating a funnel cake, and they take out good bits of several rows below them, and there's an extended halt to the action, during which I decamp. As I clear the last row of chairs yet another baton comes wharp-wharping cruelly right over my shoulder, caroming viciously off big Ronald's inflated thigh.

He's got to be one of the least self aware people to ever walk the earth

He�d have no career if he was self-aware because the fundamental unexamined conflicts are the carrot in front of his donkey brain. He�ll never get the carrot, and in fact hopefully never does if he wants to continue a career as a writer. This inability to see plainly in himself what is so obvious to others is the animating energy of his entire intellectual output.

Jesus Christ weirdos it�s a promotional interview for a show + the death of the author exists, get off it already and find a hobby that is less annoying to normal people, just make up the interview you wish you heard and write out a script and record it onto a tape in your bedroom, something you knew how to do as a child but have somehow grown too lazy to do now

I'm not telling anyone to do electoralism, or even to vote outside of maybe local/downticket stuff

But if you're expecting an elected official to take the position you want - to the extent that you're posting 24/7 wishing cancer on them when they don't, like Biederman's doing with Bernie - then it's kind of important to show that that position will get them votes, or at least not lose them, and that's something the online-schizophrenics-with-usernames-like-"Fartrich Engels" contingent have conspicuously failed to do

Have you tried huffing some farts instead of whatever this is you�re doing?

I enjoy the daft paranormal nonsense. Losers and haters of the gnomes vacate.

Deciding to drive all the wonder and goofiness out of your world is a kind of self-denial that feels satisfying but ultimately unless you figure out some other kind of woo belief to fill the woo-shaped hole, you�re just walking around incomplete, a self-inflicted denial of your own nature.

It�s the old ethnographic method where you treat it as real to them, because to do otherwise just makes you one more scoffing imperialist who will never get closer to actual understanding because you insist on this rational arms-length remove.

I love Eric Adams because he hearkens back to a simpler time when you could just nakedly bribe the worst living examples of humanity, who were all city inspectors, or the second worst examples of humanity, beer and gaming distributors, would bribe you.

There�s a book called THE MIRAGE where a bunch of Chicago journalists had the budget (!!!) to set up an entire fake bar (technically a real bar, with added surveillance features) and caught every kind of local corruption in action. It�s a fun read because it just couldn�t happen in America anymore; the cops would probably end up arresting the journalists at the behest of local developers if they tried that poo poo today, which they couldn�t because no publisher wants to spend any money whatsoever.

Ambient music was invented in 1978 when Brian Eno decided that he was tired of entertaining people with his own records.

Reading Eno�s diary allowed me to finally come to peace with being a creature of the studio who fears and loathes being perceived in the act of creation, and got me to add Oyster Sauce to my cooking repertoire. Owe that man a lot.

People who vapes in the same way people smoke cigarettes, outside, are fine. It's the weirdos who assume restrictions against cigarettes don't apply to them because their cigarette is plastic instead of paper.

This is my default behavior, but everybody I know vapes indoors now, whether it�s weed or nicotine, because the vape isn�t the same as smoke, and it just isn�t comparable in terms of what it leaves behind.

I have been to a few parties in the neighborhood where nobody who owns the home vapes, but it is apparently socially acceptable to vape on the dance floor (the dining room) locally anyway
