The Axe Murderer

G K Chesterton on point:

“You will hear everlastingly, in all discussions about newspapers, companies, aristocracies, or party politics, this argument that the rich man cannot be bribed. The fact is, of course, that the rich man is bribed; he has been bribed already. That is why he is a rich man.”

Reports: Scandinavian countries doing great!
Scandinavians: It's because we invest in our people.
US: Nah, it's because they're all white.
Scandinavians: Why don't you try investing in your people and see how it goes?
US: We'd rather try the all white thing.

Welcome to another episode of “Am I dying or is this just what being old feels like?”

it's on miro. it's literally on figma. you have to log into okta. it's in jira. it's on zoom. it's on pureref. it's on flow. it's on perforce. it's on slack. you can find it on slack. you can go to slack and find it. log onto slack right now. you can slack it. slack has it for you. it's on slack.

Fwiw my wife recently watched this for the first time with me and said the romance didn’t work because she didn’t find Gary Oldman sexy so she couldn’t believe Mina would either! I guess that’s a matter of personal taste though. Maybe he was hot enough to do it for some people.

I want to say Dracula is the literary property that is *most* prone to that phenomenon where the many adaptations are more concerned with outdoing the older adaptations than with actually adapting the book. Others on that list are Frankenstein and Batman.

This movie would have been my first “real” grownup Date (dinner, and a movie, with a girl! with me driving us there! And no parents! Etc) but the girl I asked said her parents wouldn’t let her go.

(Why does this sound like I’m talking about teen problems circa 1957?)

Matt Walsh & @MattWalshBlog Follow Al is going to wipe out at least 25 million jobs in the next 5 to 10 years. Probably much more. It will destroy every creative field. It will make it impossible to discern reality from fiction. It will absolutely obliterate what's left of the education system. Kids will go through 12 years of grade school and learn absolutely nothing. Al will do it all for them. We have already seen the last truly literate generation. All of this is coming, and fast. There is still time to prevent some of the worst outcomes, or at least put them off. But our leaders aren't doing a single thing about any of this. None of them are taking it seriously. We're sleepwalking into a dystopia that any rational person can see from miles away. It drives me nuts. Are we really just going to lie down and let Al take everything from us? Is that the plan? 15:00 • 11/12/25 From Earth • 3M Views

I go over to the other place to see what they’re saying about Epstein stuff this morning and the first thing the algo feeds me is this.

Did he.. just recently become aware he’s *on* the side of the AI guys? Who does he think is funding the party he supports?

I really hope that seeing what it looks like when we “enforce the law” is waking people to the nature of those laws.

Don’t demand “better” enforcement. Don’t demand a humane system for migrant removal. It can’t be done humanely.

Call for fixing the unjust laws, and for peacefully resisting them in the meantime. Demand easier immigration and citizenship.

I think it's a real possibility that seeing the immigration enforcement actually played out in the streets in its full brutality is pushing the window to the left on the topic. Yes the minority that is hardcore MAGA likes it, but previously neutral people are now like "oh hell no".

To the type of Republican I'm talking about, men having sex with any girl over the age of 13 is literally fine, and they'll high five you if you do it, that's normalized in their circles to a ridiculous extent. Under 13 and you start to get some weird looks occasionally. Pedophile means gay.

just to be clear Johnny Cash has never been uncool. he was a lot of other things. always cool.

There's this story about how CS Lewis was out with a friend and stopped to give a vagrant some money. Lewis's friend chided him, saying "you know he's just to buy liquor with it, right?"

Lewis responded, "Well, so was I."

Oh man. Evo psych is the science supposedly underlying the manosphere, red pill, incels and all that. All of that alpha male stuff from 4chan and Reddit and gamer gate.. Epstein being a godfather of all that is.. not surprising at all really. Holy shit.

The Epstein stuff is always so amazing to me because it's like "yes he was a sex criminal but if you can get past that, he was also an avowed eugenicist"

this is the good one tbh theoutline.com/post/7956/je...

this is my thread that has the most stuff in it bsky.app/profile/segy...

while not as respected or well known a field as Mad Science, Action Science, or Occult Science, Creep Science is a vital part of the creep industrial complex and public private partnerships have kept the United States ahead of its rivals in creep technology since the Cold War

As I just said in another thread, the stuff they're hiding must be considerably worse than that if they're going to these lengths. They know they'd be able to "spin" that, with their base. The stuff they're trying to keep hidden must be un-spinnable.

It's already been established multiple times that a lot of these people just think a man should be able to have sex with 15 year olds. I have to think that what they're actually trying to hide must be something considerably worse than that.

I don’t know either but people have certainly been murdered to cover up less

There was a Kansas City antipope until a few years ago en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_B...

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far.

So much work remains to be done.

Can none of these millionaires sex criminals write in full sentences? Have you heard of paragraphs? Punctuation? No wonder ChatGPT sounds like a genius to these clowns.

This isn’t even the stuff they’re trying to actually stop from getting out.

Today I'm glad I'm not rich enough to feel absolutely invulnerable when I put things into an email

"While preachers preach of evil fates
Teachers teach that knowledge waits
Can lead to hundred-dollar plates
Goodness hides behind its gates
But even the president of the United States
Sometimes must have to stand naked"
