oh yeah red velvet as a flavour is rubbish

they should take out the cream and just make it a dunking biscuit imo

mars bars. look they're fine I suppose but they're basically just soggy beige nothingness. the limited edition dark-and-light ones were infinitely better, and the fact that the mars bar remains when the vastly superior in all respects topic has been wiped from the earth is an insult to life itself

With this in mind I have set up a fundraiser in his name. If you can go and support the Palestine Children's Relief Fund. I want everyone to have a smile on their face when they hear the name BattleWhisk. Rest well Peter, I will think about you every single day

this fucking world is brutal. the things it does to the best of us.

this has become my bestseller by far. and you can have it on a shirt, on a sticker, on a mug to be filled with damn fine coffee, go nuts

I've often wondered why all the goods we prize or need most are got with brutalising unsustainable extraction over securing a stable supply (aside from smash worker power, do neoliberal non investment etc). maybe part of it is to get us ordinary consumers to accept bigger evils by our own complicity

We are all prepared to accept and consume cruelty and violence as a necessity of pleasure, we are prepped for it from birth, it is naturalized and embedded in every moment of our experience of the social. Few are the truly evil, many are the products of an evil society

But we must also insist that tiny slices of this domination are offered to the consumer at home, who knows somewhere in his mind of the cruelty behind the products he consumes, who understands reflexively the violent history of every product and the blood staining every dollar bill

We saw one of the Trump adult sons go on a safari to hunt endangered animals. Id be shocked if there isnt a guy who will serve human flesh. Every region of the world may have its own culturally specific forms of domination that a plucky entrepreneur figured out how to sell to the local bourgeoisie

But we could cut off the heads of every last person who appears in those emails and w/o abolishing capitalism and patriarchy a whole new crop of them would appear within a decade or two. The lurid details, the shocking coincidences are almost hilariously absurd, but do not give in to astonishment.

The point is not to let them off the hook, because, in the end, each of them chose to do it with relatively full knowledge of what they were doing. They are likely irredeemable, and should face social and economic sanction of the highest order for what they continue to do

These people are stupid assholes who have, by dint of the extreme power, respect, wealth and privilege they've been afforded treat pedo island vacation the way we might treat a spa day. An interesting diversion, a rare luxury. The fact that it is so many different kinds of rich person shows that

The fact of their tight-knitted interconnectedness is interesting, but it does not reveal grand design, but the class/consumption nature of the violence. He is marketing, name dropping who else is going to be there. Its all sales for people who dont know the difference btwn sales and friendship

We can see this quite clearly in how perfunctory, misspelled, chaotic and half-assed the emails are. These are texts with a dealer. He was the pedophile party guy, just like they have a super-yacht guy or a "hunting humans for sport" guy or a "take a trip into space" guy. Its all service economy

Elon is so clearly pathetic in the emails because he doesn't understand that there isnt secretly a code, a cool kids club, its just pretending to like someone for admission to their product. Epstein was the guy who could give you that experience, an experience of pure power and permission

Its not a masterminded conspiracy, Epstein was a guy who provided a service. Like a coke dealer you sort of pretend to be friends with, maybe who you even are willing to hang out with sometimes, everyone's "friendship" with him was the price of admission.

someone bring out a new edition of Gladys Mitchell's books with a bit of oomph to the covers

fuck knows why I showed up early

everything's difficult and you feel shit? welcome to being alive this will only intensify

it's fine it's all Nothing Serious (as far as I know lol) but I'm really tired of The Encumbrances and the constant Sensations

wishing my body a very chill the fuck out for a moment ok

Aronofsky, like anyone in a creative field who uses generative AI, should be regarded as a class traitor and shunned. If you don't believe in the fundamental value of human artistic expression, you are undeserving of the community of your peers. ESPECIALLY in as collaborative an art form as film.

I'm more of a recliner

"One of the highest tolls since the October ceasefire"
"One of"
"Ceasefire"

also it's notable how the majority of feet go unfireheld on actually important serious issues

head always too hot, feet always too cold

good way: engaged, in the flow, know what to do next, doubt recedes, getting on with it

bad way, as usual: "will this ever be over, jesus christ I've got nine other things to do"
