Not Great At All

Chill Political Economy

I agree with Amanda. The labor market is worse now than during the GFC in general, and far, far worse in tech and tech-adjacent fields.

Source: I lived through it and got a tech job in a low-tech city in April of 2009, right at the worst of the fallout of the Great Recession. That would be extremely unlikely now.

DNL

Chill Annoying, Clowns

Shit, I agree with the right largely about immigration and crime. At least the general ideas.

But I’ll never vote for those fucks because they think vaccines don’t work or cause autism, don’t believe climate change is real even as it destroys places they live, and think they can pray the gay solar panels away.

Only a right clown would vote for that. So I hold my nose and vote for the more reasonable Democrats. Even though they are do-nothing losers.

Double Ditch

Chill Evil

That seems to be about accurate as to what is happening in the UK now.

The left has always been willing to sacrifice women and girls for their “equity” fairytale. Looks like they are doubling down on that now. I’m guessing that it will spread to other locales, though many women in Germany are now afraid of going out due to North Africans and Muslims. And for good damn reason.

Leaves Welts

Chill Gutter Philosophy

More and more people are realizing that the current weltanschauung has completely failed and that there is nothing to replace it. It’s those “New Minds” I write about here and talked about a lot on the old iteration of this blog. We need ’em, didn’t get ’em.

Absent a new sociocultural arrangement, we are in for a world of pain and probably WWIII. That cataclysm may be the only thing that gets us where we need to go, but what a price to pay. It makes me want to read the Terra Ignota series again.

No Doc

Chill Annoying, Clowns

Check this out. It’s going to be blow your mind: Dr. House in the eponymous show was not actually a doctor.

Crazy, right?

Are people really this fucking uselessly stupid?

Stupid Worthless

Chill Evil

The “Palestinians” have been doing stupid worthless shit for 80+ years. Victim mentality combined with a terrible culture will do that to you.

Anyway, that looks like a Bulgarian-made AK-74 Jecelyne is holding there.
