MOAR SLOW BURN

Schrodinger’s pet cemetery …
“How many cats did Schrodinger kill before he figured his shit out? – a drunk historian somewhere in Denmark will find this pet cemetery.” – Dr. Freckles
Smoking …
“After 2020? – I don’t need any speeches about cigarettes, I know they’re bad, I know I’ll quit again and perhaps forever … but my ‘good wolf’ and ‘bad wolf’ are both smoking now too …” – Dr. Freckles
Understanding VS Approval

Spotify: looks to be on the road to banning your FRIEND DAN …
Spotify has banned (“took down” – lots of euphemisms) one of my episodes/podcasts.
Banned episode:
UPDATE (9:38 AM: TWITTER (which I’m paying almost 20 bucks a month now), is also on the road to banning me –
I have been podcasting, in one form or another, for about 10 years. In those 10 years, right from the beginning, I’ve had positive feedback and an audience.
I’ve never had more than 100 people listening at any given time – in the world of podcasting, I’d say that’s a pretty small number … not a number for anyone to be concerned about except ME.
… and yet …
In those 10 years I’ve experienced banning, shadow-banning, and the outright theft of my intellectual property, prepaid fees, domains, etc, by Go Daddy in late 2021. YouTube has canceled me so many times I’ve simply given up on their bullshit …
Before you tell me “Dan, I know about this NEW NEW podcasting site”, just shut the fuck up for a minute: I’ve been down that road, and even sites that don’t immediately ban me at first have one thing in common – not so many eyeballs or ears … not much of a user base.
Am I giving up on Spotify? – no … I’ll keep posting there.
What do I expect to happen next? – in 90 days or less I think Spotify cancels me, completely.
But here’s my question: WHAT THE FUCK AM I SAYING THAT IS SO FUCKING DANGEROUS THAT 50-100 PEOPLE CANNOT BE ALLOWED TO HEAR IT?
THE FARCE
“The FARCE is reaching its crescendo, can you feel it?” – Dr. Freckles
Squirrels …
“Squirrels are the harbingers of mirth.” – Dr. Freckles
My 24/7 news service …
“I’m listening to the wind, to the noise of crows, to my eyes and ears and heart … that’s my 24/7 news service now.” – Dr. Freckles
Know the difference … (your life might depend on it)
“If you don’t know the difference between barbed wire, rubber cones and razor wire? – fuck if I’m gonna listen to your opinion about ‘insurrection’ …” – Dr. Freckles
GTA-7
“I can’t tell you about GTA-6, but GTA-7 will be fought with sticks and stones.” – Dr. Freckles
PENIS CURSE!
Going places …
“Going places is a hassle.” – Dr. Freckles
Bullies suck …
“Bullies suck: is another name for anarchism.” – Dr. Freckles
“Brilliant” people … (IYI)
“Brilliant people can arrive at the WRONG ANSWER exceptionally fast.” – Dr. Freckles
Overkill …
“Unconditional surrender guarantees OVERKILL.” – Dr. Freckles
Life, reality and dance …
“It’s a weird dance – LIFE … and sometimes our partner, reality, steps on our feet.” – Dr. Freckles
Tomorrow …
“Don’t worry … tomorrow is probably going to be worse.” – Dr. Freckles
I feel rich …
“If you live in a camper and feel rich? – then you are very close to the truth.” – Dr. Freckles
I spent 80 bucks at COSTCO, my brother had to buy the stuff …
– a new WAHL clipper set
and
– 24 decent IPA’s
10 years ago? – it would have been 40 bucks.
Still: I feel rich.
I felt rich seeing all that food, knowing it was unlikely to be like this a year from now. Relative to future me? Knowing that most people on Earth don’t even get to see that much of EVERYTHING, let alone have the money to buy some of it … I felt rich.
Not judgment, no real commentary here …
Like that simple comment I made a few days ago: “it seems as if the WORLD is holding its breath …”
(like that)
