Walt descends into madness as portrayed by the writers. There’s this weird scene where he makes this big show of “forgiving” Skyler. What is madness? Can we boil it down into something like megalomania, with all the other definitions deems relative to whatever current society sees as normal?
What about terms like “sociopath” or “crazy” or “madness” or “criminal” or “hero” – and how did BB help us deconstruct these ideas … What would Foucault think of this show, if he watched TV and was still alive?
A big recurring theme of the series is how Walt wants to reap the benefits of his actions but not suffer any consequences. Comparing him to Gus, he really seems to have no concept of ownership, even self-ownership, and it’s responsibilities.
Skyler’s “pool state” stunt is a clever reenactment of Walt’s “fugue state.”
Perhaps the pivot point of the series is the killing of that boy on the motorcycle. The first time a completely innocent, non-participant is killed by Walt’s activities. From there on it’s a follow-coaster ride to the resolution of the many plot conflicts in the series.
Walt won’t sell his share of the Methylamine for $5mil, because he sold his share of Grey Matter for 5,000. Very twisted logic.
Walt thinks he can find “everybody wins” solutions, but there is always a victim. He’s really just a two-bit bandit.
Mike: “Shut the fuck up and let me die in peace.”
Who is W.W.? Did the writers intentionally use Walt Whitman in comparison to Walter White? Is it because Whitman was a favorite of early 20th century anarchists?
Why would Hank take a dump in the Master Bathroom at someone else’s house? It seems implausible to me, or it reveals something really weird about Hank.
Walt: “Wouldn’t two car washes be better than one?” Skyler: “Well there’s Gentle Hands over by Kirkland. I do love that location.” — weirdness
Skyler [referring to Jesse] “We’ve come this far, “for us”, what’s one more?”
I liked it, I was good at it, and….I was alive.” Discuss: vocation, being human, and how sin distorts it
Trophies: Todd kept the kid’s jar/spider, Walt keeps the Walt Whitman book.
Why is it we need some kind of marginal redemption, especially in fiction?
Götterdämmerung of WALT, the Meth Cook … you could make much of the soundtrack for season 5 from The Ring by Wagner. This would have made a great soundtrack option for this last season: https://youtu.be/a53s4jyCqqU
Joseph Campbell has a book called the Heroes Journey, but isn’t there also a shadow aspect to this … like the Arc of the Villain?
Going to be doing a show, once a month, on the projects Justin and I are working on.
Currently: trying to settle into the new job, but we are starting to build out some listening station infrastructure. I’m going to be reaching out to some people I know to set up a similar system at their locations, ideally as many areas of the USA, and world, as possible. The listening stations would simply run a python script using a registered account to upload JS8 messages.
I’m using an SDR radio ($70) and a loop antenna MLA-30 ($40), running the JS8 software on a dedicated computer with the python script.
Improvements to the notes application are coming, probably in September.
We are going to start building out a few rad-terminal kits, in the next few months. We probably jumped the gun a little on this, but we are recalibrating.

Anna: Do you celebrate Thanksgiving this year?
Dirk: No, I celebrate the Festival of Grall
Anna: how that going?
Dirk: great - we harvest the shungo grease next week
Anna: is that in your place?
Dirk: yes
Anna: what else are you doing for life?
Dirk: working
Anna: how is work?
Dirk: good, fine, you?
Anna: me too!what you doing today?
Dirk: chasing bungo flesh and ungudjoolating my frigger-rash ...
Anna: is that hard?
Dirk: yes ... real hard
Svetlana: Describe your greatest achievement and most impressive failure?
Dirk: greatest achievement was hunting the wild eagle-bear of Mt. Dinctus, this was also my greatest failure
Svetlana: Hello, have you got a wanderlust?
Dirk: oh yeah ... when I've been doing cocaine
Svetlana: Was it great?)))Where were you when getting high?
Dirk: I was being chased by cops while I was doing the coke
Svetlana: Did you run you down orget away with it?
Dirk: I always get away with it
Svetlana: ... all right))) Do you still take coke? Does it effect you life somehow?
Dirk: I've been doing more meth and angel dust lately
Svetlana: what is angel dust?
Dirk: it's a love enhancing penis grease technology, you use the dust to unboobulate a woman's boovula ...
Svetlana: that's great ...
Dirk: yeah
(I’ll be dating Svetlana and Anna, and I will probably do cocaine)

These are typical nuke sub engineers now? – does this make you feel better?
The package was somehow “intercepted” by the FBI?
Did they use USPS? UPS? FEDEX? (see point one above)
Bottom line: it’s an awesome excuse, to tell the survivors, explaining WHY during that brief nuclear war our subs didn’t work … or were dealt with by China or Russia … cuz secrets given to enemy by FEDEX …
CRICKET FLOUR PSYOP …
Insect food psyop: how can I say this … worst case? – you won’t have any bugs to eat either …
Indoogliate the fortics, as they wander the trestle kingdom, looking for owl grease and cherry pie droppings …
Man the TURNIP CANNON, and leave your whisky lover dying in that ditch … the one where the rats feed on the dead and the dying …
(that’s America)
You walk your city, after dinner and wine with Christy the stripper. You shared cocaine in the alley, after killing that homeless person and then tossing his body in a dumpster nearby …
And the CHALICE QUEEN hums her ditty …
And the BRANDON eats ice cream and poops a little in his undies, as secret service make chicken noodle soup.
And you ask what happened to America?
(ask the strippers)
THROGAN WHALE HERDERS weld the great mast to your starship, the solar sail unfurls as hooker-sailors cover their bodies in moist turtle smear and weak smelling mushroom compost.
Jinctus freaks wander the hallways of your hospitals, dispensing R’OXY and ketamine and old dead rat burgers to the jorgan hordes dying of monkey herpes and monkey pox and monkey crabs …
The milk turns yellow … the corn turns to dust … the amber waves of grain are smithereens …
And you ask me “what happened to America?” … ????
I ask you … what happened to Rock and Roll?
I met the demon X’INDER in Little Saigon, Seattle …
He had NO TIME for my ape-like sentimentality … he wanted to know MOAR about bond products and reverse-vampire credit default swaps. He had a VISA GOLD CARD with BLACK CARD LIMITS and TITANIUM BENEFITS … he had one of those MAGNISES CARDS, an official BILLY MCFARLAND FYRE FESTIVAL FEMA TENT … and 100 expired MREs … he was a demon in search of a lover.
And the nuke subs had TRANS-CLOWN-STORY-HOUR …
And the Airforce dug holes … it was all they knew how to do.
And you ask me … mother-jorker … WTF HAPPENED to AMERICA?
(tell me: where did VELVEETA come from?)
GEN MILLEY drank cantily wine with old SGT GRUMBO. They looked upon each other with lust, so they both inskluntified themselves in pear juice and diesel fuel. COL CHAN of the 4th CHING-CHONG CHINESE ARMY, formed up in Vancouver, BC. The troops had fried rice and rat brains, while the officers made love to hippie gingers … ravaging the EMO of Canada.
STINCTER CRAFT, carrying cluster bombs, strafed and burned old New York … even Soho and Scompton … down to Greenich and Tingdon Town … murdering thousands of gizzard princes and twinks.
And you ask me … What happened to the USA?
(wow)
(what happened to Popeye’s Chicken?)
“General, is that the BEASTRESS?”
General Q’OHG looked out upon the battlefield near PHILLY, he saw the lesbian grease armies and the womanly love oil shock troops, all dressed in g-strings and HOOTER WAITRESS T-SHIRTS … the pain of monkey crabs written on their faces, as tiny little creatures crawl down their legs to the next victim.
“Yes private, them be the she-demons who took over VEGAS … CALL FORTH THE WOLF-HAWKS …”

YOU CAN’T HIDE in FO-SHIZZLE JUNCTION …
Your mind will break when you move onwards, to Delta-Charley’s New Style Whiskey Taco Stand, and get a triple whip burrito with vodka sauce and honeydew juices from Scragus, the meat hag. Your own failure is the map, the way, to deliverance – on your corpse your enemy will march … your women and families … your dogs and cats … your homes and cars and craft style beer … all of it is up for grabs now, and the swarthy, dusky, types from below are coming to TAKE IT … and you don’t have to give it up … you fashion your own chainsaw swords and laser scythes, and seek the GRUNDO-LORD, Tygus the Unhindered and Unabashed.
And you ask me what happened to America?
THESE?
THE JINCTUS CRAB LORDS?
They spent their time putting together remote controlled jizz-canons and old-style tornado condom-holsters … all on sale at TARGET in the children’s aisle, not far from the free suicide pills and COVID-19 tests … and wearable coffee filters.
They hunker down in the filth region, eating cockroach burgers and drinking the rich man’s unfiltered urine …
But China is doing okay, right?
In the time of nuclear war …
When three headed dogs rule the land …
When the funkin-folk of EAST SIDE HOOLEY magic take their place upon the world stage – ruling sectors 2 and 77, this will be the signal to begin the preparation …
Ukrainian strippers live downstairs and mix their crabs with mayo …
And Zelensky is your hero?
The CIA has replaced Erdogan with a robot dopple ganger named Sid. Sid is powered by a nuclear battery and has the power of 2,000 angry bears. His brain is maple syrup and silicon …
Sid loves hard and fast, like the magic warriors of Ventura Blvd, like those friendly types that sell bread and apples near the onramp. Sid has pure electric love power …
And with Sid in charge of Turkey?

EVERY SINGLE JOKE …
“Every joke is offensive, just because you haven’t found that snowflake yet, does not mean they don’t exist.” – Dr. Freckles
Make a list of taboo subjects
Review the list
Ask yourself, honestly: what is left to joke about?
What do I love joking about?
Stupid people – and sometimes I’m pretty fucking stupid.
Unhealthy people and illnesses – and I’m basically a walking corpse.
Societal chaos and decay – cuz, look around champ …
Race and Racialism and Racists and Danes – cuz, get a life …
Gender and junk – because sex has always been funny, and your junk is funny … get a life.
Religion and even God – cuz lots of folks claim they have faith, and God has big shoulders … infinite ones.
I don’t know him, other than his public image and his website/vlogging. I’ve listened to his stuff since 2016.
He seems honest.
Is he an alarmist? – maybe … is that bad?
I do question his alarmism in connection with things like “I’m gonna sue that guy” and “let’s do handouts and wear t-shirts”.
What if people don’t care? … what if they know the contrail shit is shit … but they don’t care … if the government gave them a choice: a) stop the geoengineering and live through the harshness of this situation or b) keep it going … “it works”. I’ve had people I know tell me they don’t really care to know the truth about 9/11 … and I am watching the memory hole of MONKEY HERPES opening right now, sucking in anything resembling the truth … I don’t think people would say “NO”… I believe they understand what’s going on. I think they’d support “reformed” geoengineering, but they would still want it.
So, if Dane is legit, is his pursuit futile? – maybe … but it’s probably still good he’s speaking out.
Some interesting movie picks …

the authenticate-all electric space man palguy has another company. he said a few years back that you could squirt a net in your tubes, and it would unfold around the tubes of the toupee.
it would make RF comm possible.
you may have heard about the difficulties in the tubes suffered by people who got the ouchy... and many bizarre and unbelievable things.
they figured out how to squirt something in your arm, that will then migrate to your tubes and build the net in them. for the RF comm.
thats what is causing the really strange tube problems in some people when either the magic malfunctions, or some tubes just react badly to it.
thats how you do bad things to lots of people and think you'll get away with it... this may be behind certain classes of suddenly that have become common; particularly the 'timber!' type. you will notice timber! is not extremely common for those types of failures, yet now it is captured on video often.
if one day you notice lots of people sort of strange, you'll know what is going on. it may also just be a subtle thing that will never have a super noticeable go-live.
... and to kill those who will not worship the image.

A great number of people followed Him, including women who kept mourning and wailing for Him. But Jesus turned to them and said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children. Look, the days are coming when people will say, ‘Blessed are the barren women, the wombs that never bore, and breasts that never nursed!’ At that time
‘they will say to the mountains, “Fall on us!”
and to the hills, “Cover us!” ’
For if men do these things while the tree is green[has sap (of the earth)], what will happen when it is dry?”

Tides? … I saw the water run out when the JIMBO PRIESTS got tired of hocking old style torpedo nuggets … and they laid siege to Paris, and burned the CHILI PALACE, but no one could have seen this coming, right? SEND: scrongo troops to sector 14, once you have destroyed COL TRAN leave the bodies for the birds. Have ready the jungo-shock armies and be prepared to arm the populace with pillowcases filled with d-cell batteries.
Angry about the weird pains in my body, the odors and fluids that cannot be controlled, will not be controlled … I’m angry about all that blood in my stool, and that greenish glowing thingy that is growing from my foot mold.

Where are the starships and the dystopian futuristic hell scapes? Where is Farah Fawcett, running from some cyborg that has Harvey Keitel’s voiceover actor’s nonsense British voice as if we care any longer and we JORKING don’t … We were supposed to have Sigourney Weaver (sexy young version), running through the passageways of our starship, in only her underwear and a tight t-shirt … and we were gipped … and that’s a huge deal.

It was yellow and smelly and I think there were human hairs and fecal matter shoved in there … the manager wouldn’t let me return it, I looked in his dead eyes and prayed that the coyote kings would come for him and his clan. I know the dark paste is everywhere now, it’s in everything. Dark paste and shame and jizz … that’s the cottage cheese now.
Walking on egg shells and apology tours and crap … NO … speak your goddamn mind … be unafraid to express your opinion … get over this crap. WHAT THE JORK?
Danish people … Shakespeare once said: “Denmark – filled with MOTHERJORKERS!”
Cars are mostly crap now … the Toyota CAMRY … started falling apart right after I bought it.

Can people seeking after control have friends? – Another theme: Friendship / Partnership. Discuss. Skyler, Walt, Hank, Marie, Mike, Gus.
The real drug for Gustavo, Walt and Skylar: Power
Skylar as master manipulator: IRS, Ted, “I found myself admiring the smooth con that Skyler pulled on the locksmith in order to get into Walt’s apartment.”
Gustavo as expert manipulator: Jessie and the face robbery, killing that dude in the first episode
Walt as master manipulator: ricin and the boy, Brock, Andrea’s son
Black market discourse on gun control, and the New Mexico / Western culture of “stand your ground”
In the game of manipulation and control: the greater sociopath wins, empathy loses
Mike E. arrogance is cover for his past guilt.
Madness as a coping mechanism …
The car wash is a money laundry
Walt expresses a common frustration of modernity: “I’m done explaining myself.” Supposedly in the past, asking for an explanation was also an invitation to a duel. Is that good or bad?
Man in waiting room: “Man Plans, God laughs.” Walt: “That…is such bullshit.” Walt says that he’s in charge of his life regardless of cancer.
Walt says he “won”, but what was his victory? What did it cost him?
Notes:
Skylar as manipulator: the locksmith, the time at the jeweler … with pretty much everyone …
A discourse on gun control and self defense … 38 snub …
“White Residence” … when answering the phone … is there an undercurrent of racial commentary threaded into the show?
The Greater Sociopath wins: Gus VS Walter
Mike E. is smarmy and self-righteous by default. A form of arrogance that covers his past wrongs.
I found myself admiring the smooth con that Skyler pulled on the locksmith in order to get into Walt’s apartment.
Gus: “Well, get back to work.” Why did he kill that guy? What does it say about organizations? Is there an analogy to American Business in general?
Madness as a coping mechanism is a theme of the show.
Pride and Madness are closely related? Is pride Walt’s main downfall, his “Achille’s Heel?”
The Car Wash is a Money Laundry. LOL
Walt: “I am the one who knocks!”
Gus channels Zig Ziglar! “I like to think I see things in people.” BS
Man in waiting room: “Man Plans, God laughs.” Walt: “That…is such bullshit.” Walt says that he’s in charge of his life regardless of cancer.

Ya think?
I have covered the western lands in muck dust, leaving on the tracings of bent and broken nargin-thieves. Jungis? The Grov-Lord? He stole our ancient scepter and sold that crap to some hookers near Grinken Town.
I had an inconceivable fear of frog swamps, where the last of the old gilley-rats were sacrificed to Bael. I would spend my nights sniffing after cat flowers and wrestling dolphins near the inlet where they dumped those bodies last year, that place where all the old folks were taken. You could say I was in a hurry to find lightning style love.
It was your own moon unit that led the way to the demon caves, somewhere near Heber, where the ancient Ute shaman would lurk and gather Indio-grievous dust and jurgen-paste. They would smear a gumbo of dead coyote and wasted lives upon their broken bodies and then hunt after the scarlet beaver of RUNEVILLE. And with turquoise treasure and love magic, they’d find their own beastly wives ingroogliating their boovula.
The way you tell it, you were a golden boy or golden girl when the BEEGEES road STRONG and that old queen, Elton John, ruled Boy’s Town. You had green eyes and yellow teeth and your children were whale herders, no longer in contact with ordinary Horgen-Folk, but eating by themselves at Old Schlimby’s Beef Stew Warehouse … and the rat stew had the odor of afterbirth and failure.
Take your Romeo style gigolos and your pastel swimming trunks and that snotty attitude. Go down to STRUNKER’S MEAT PALACE and buy yourself some hammerhead chili. And when you’ve finished? – understand that your world is broken and left to the smoke demons.
