The first ten on today’s playlist:

Someone should make a movie where peeps destroy the planet called Peep Impact.

Another odd liberal move, excused and justified under the “protection from harm” bullshittery, is a return to explicitly transactional relationships. Oh, they still have the veneer of love, and use the vocabulary and framework, but scratch even a fraction of an inch below the surface and it becomes just about socioeconomic status and policing “appropriate” relations within those bounds, and regarding class status.

In the (neo)liberal mind, everyone has a price, and if you can’t pay then the algorithm shouldn’t put you together. And the algorithm knows all and is the arbiter of all worth.

On a somewhat-similar theme, it’s so strange to me how many lib types go nuts when some real footage of a disaster is used in a film. I think I will never understand this.

Cinema is how we think about ourselves; it’s one way we reason as a society. It’s important that have all the tools available to us there. Sure, the footage can be used poorly or flippantly (and even this should be allowed IMO), but most of the time it’s there to achieve verisimilitude and to make the film have some actual resonance.

But most liberals want to exist in some sort of dream world, one where biology is not real, where disasters do not happen, where sex is virtual, where no one is ever sad and the pod is always warm.

Modern liberalism is not in any way self-coherent.

For instance, race. Race doesn’t exist and it determines everything. It’s both extremely powerful and irrelevant. It’s impossible to be transracial even though race doesn’t exist and is the most powerful fact in the universe, both at the same time.

The same with biology. Biology doesn’t exist, and men and women are exactly the same. Except women are fragile and are children until they are 40. And even though it’s impossible to be transracial, being transsexual is just a matter of declaring yourself a man or a woman. Because men and women are exactly the same (this also makes no sense, though is a bit subtler than the “race doesn’t exist” inequality.)

I’m just pointing out the most obvious inconsistencies; those that are 100% contradictions. There are many others that have no real thought behind them, like the “completely safe” nonsense and the utter prudishness of the left. And how most of them are now water carriers for the CIA/FBI. (How the hell did that happen?)

Caroline Jones is better with just her voice and guitar or a banjo than most people are with a 10-piece band. Could listen to her all day. She even played “Old Blue!” And fucking crushed it.

It turns out that Caroline Jones is also a fantastic guitarist. Not fair. When talent gets doled out, it definitely doesn’t get doled out evenly.

Just check out that finger-pickin’.

I think I’m getting a little obsessed.

What a fantastic cover.

It’s real cute when the kids today think they invented genderqueer and nonbinary stuff, ain’t it?

If you’re under 40 or so, just FYI this video played on MTV about 20 times a day during the mid-80s. It’s not some obscure artifact. Nope, it was everywhere.

I’d go easier on the lockdown lifers if they had some or even any other plans or proposals. But no, that’s it. That’s what they have. Eternal lockdown, cowering inside forever until vitiation and ennui overtakes all, until the pandemic is somehow “defeated,” as if there were some war, as if there were anything to win but our own oppression.
