Been reading and re-reading Jack Vance sci-fi. The guy's fantastic. A master-craftsman. He takes a very naive approach and is often dismissed as "light space-opera". But, that's silly. It's really excellent stuff. He was bros with Frank Hebert and I'm reading Dune after decades. It's ok im...

The point was the legislation about to be passed outlawing anti-semitism. This is the usual "both sides" approach. The conflict was created by and under the control of ppl who want to drive legislation. It provides cover in the guise of an "emergency" for politicians to enact leg...

MJ&S. I know something of the law and judging. This is my considered opinion. This indictment is complete and utter horse-shit and even more does not actually state a criminal violation. It is without basis. That's a technical legal analysis which is irrelevant. DJT will go to trial and the jury...

Let me know if they talk about his attempt(s) to poison his Tutors at University.

The dude would have been working for Fauci making bioweapons and releasing them were he alive today.

Psychopath consumed by homicidal ideation.

Why tf are they making a movie about this guy now? Oh I know why.

Just started on the Poetic Edda. It's a series of epic poems with roots in Iceland from before 1000 A.D.. The second poem, Hovamol, hit me so hard with keen life observations expressed clearly and pithily. I've re-evaluated several things in my life already and I just finished it. You can read or d...

I couldn't get past the prologue of The Religion. I knew it would be violent but damn, it was so gruesome that I'll have to miss this one. Yes. I almost bailed out then too. Figured it was just violence porn. But the thing is, that was how life was back then. And it really isn't an empty book. Ther...

Lenny, have you ever done Joe Pilates' mat routine(s)?

They're really good and I think avoid a lot of the issues hatha yoga can have.

Benny, do you have one and are addicted? Or not have one? Great literary references, btw. I read Dune last year and had to google “Butlerian Jihad” to remember wtf it was I went to a flip phone a while back. But the tech sucks. They are now worse than the early 2000 models. Unusable for texting. I'...

ROYAL FARMS HAS SCRAPPLE AGAIN YOU CVNTS

It's gotten worse. I don't know how many times I have to give a courtesy honk to get people off their phones at traffic lights, but it feels like really fucking often. We've retarded a generation of kids and don't seem to give a shit. If I could go back and not give my kid a phone until he was 15, ...

Jesus this makes me feel like everyone in the industry has been spinning their wheels for 20yrs or longer.

Idk maybe weight training became a mature science/art in the 1960's or 1970's.

Another quote that The Religion brought to mind. And it is perfect considering de Maistre's Freemasonry The whole earth, perpetually steeped in blood, is nothing but an immense altar on which every living thing must be sacrificed without end, without restraint, without respite until the consummation...

Mattias Tannhauser is really a great character. There was a lot of cross-cultural exchange btwn East and West at that time. Before as well. Starkey and Ludovici were really well done. As was LaVallette. Carla and Amparo as well. None of them were really likable. But then "likable" is such ...

For the manly men (or the swashbuckling women). If you want a fucking fantastic story that gets your blood worked up read The Religion by Tim Willocks and the sequel "Twelve Children of Paris" Like Benny, I love Hughart and recommend everyone read them. But for my boys, guys who like to r...

This UKR thing is like de ja vu for me. Jjst like fucking COVID. Same sides same moronic level narrative.

I prayed after 9/11 our For Pol couldn't get any stupider but whelp.

I ordered it. 700pgs!

Steven have you read The Frontiersmen by Ekhart?

Or Hopkirk's books about The Great Game?

I had a dogtown skateboard back then and an inherited P&P skull and sword. My buddy had a JFA (Jodie Foster's Army) skateboard. Listened to Agent Orange. Too tall to be any good.

So, I was reading this guy a few years ago and his stuff was very good. He had the ideal vibe for a medical doctor. His whole attitude and approach was exactly what you want.

Idk if he has sold out now but he was legit back then.

McDonald's fries and pies when they were cooked in beef fat.

Not dying when you absolutely should have died. That's belief in God. That moment when your standing there and not dead. That feeling.

Read this Tome called Dragon Bone Chair. Epic fantasy written in the before times. It was annoying but I powered through due to reccs. Ended well and the second book is really good. Lots and lots of detail. Esp in book 1. Book 2 is just really well done. Nothing special. Just a good sane escapist re...

Oh yeah. Our GDP is really really huge.

That's US State Dept NGO bullshit. The lead is a physio who became a "data scientist". Ffs RUS has an almost entirely indigenous aeronautics industry. US hitches rides to the space station with RUS. And RUS has true hypersonics and the S-500. It also churns out Borei class subs. And the ne...

I took the time to read Peter Thiel's stuff. Nothing really amazing. Not saying he himself is like that. Idk him. He prob is incredibly impressive in person. Hell, I own his stock. The only thing I felt he was really trying to get across was how fervently the important tech guys believed in the end ...

Nice MJS.

Sun Ra on Nuclear War. Been laughing and singing this all day.
