“I’m a hermit … you are all so great from a distance … especially if I have a .50 cal Barret … and concertina wire deployed correctly, to channel you.” – Dr. Freckles
I’ve been naming the deer …
“I’ve been naming the deer here, in the woods, as they pass by: ‘Cheese Burger’, ‘Stew’, ‘Pepperoni Pizza’, ‘Meat Ball’, it feels cozy.” – Dr. Freckles
Jimmy Buffet …
“Jimmy Buffet OVER Warren Buffet.” – Dr. Freckles
Swimming pools …
I don’t think alcohol is good or bad.
I don’t think cigarettes are good or bad.
I don’t think guns or chainsaws or sticks of dynamite are good or bad.
And if you do think “objects”, without sentience, are “good” or “bad”, then BAN FUCKING SWIMMING POOLS …
(to stop drowning)
A healing salve …
If you make a healing salve,
from dead cat and old calf,
you bake the bread of bone and blood,
then chisel out your rendered cud …
And from that soup,
your mind will see,
a healthy face,
for all to see.
China’s Potemkin Villages
“China has turned the Potemkin Village into a science.” – Dr. Freckles
“Twitter is a Turing Test, and everyone fails.” – Dr. Freckles
Horrible suspicions …
I have horrible suspicions as to WHY they’ve been conducting strategic military psychological warfare, at a high intensity, since early 2020 …
I have these suspicions, in many ways logical – but not enough evidence.
And I fear shit will go sideways before we ever know why, for sure.
WIZARDS
“Wizards”
I was thinking about certain “workflow tools” and “wizards” that exist in the world of web design and programming generally … and how, like Gandalf, they’re really a fucking disappointment. You end up with worse problems to unwind, later, that you dump on your replacement.
BTW …
If some mother fucker comes to your door and says “YOU ARE THE ONLY HOPE TO SAVE THE WORLD”? – they are a grifter, and full of shit. The world doesn’t succeed or fail on the whims of any one person.
However – the world can turn sideways, or improve, based on ENOUGH people.
Gandalf’s “elevator pitch” is a lot of fear and intimidation bullshit.
(and Bilbo should have blown that mother fucker away)
And the good guys win? – you probably end up with a WORSE of EYE of SAURON.
(voters and statists do what they do)
SAVED THE WORLD!
“A statist-voter can sit in a meeting for an hour where NOTHING was done, and feel like they’re a hero, and saved the world.” – Dr. Freckles
