No Gods Before Azathoth

I try to not ever type the name as well

It’d be really easy to figure out who voted Biden in small, predominantly Red towns like the one where my husband and I live

Now he wants to appoint a special counsel to investigate the 2020 election. So once his Justice Department completes the nation’s gaslighting, I assume he’ll employ Palantir’s national database to see who voted for Biden and charge us with Election Interference.

I planned to start it tonight already. Now I’m even more excited.

I’m about an hour from finishing Ivy Grimes beautifully deranged novel “The Ghosts of Blaubart Mansion” and it is 100% destined to join “The Fisherman” at the top of my end-of-year list.

Reuters says one thing, Newsweek says another. I’m inclined to believe Reuters.

If it’s true that the orange motherfucker’s approval rating have surged, despite literally everything being on fire, I don’t know how I’m going to keep living.

So now fucking tariffs on Foreign films. Unless I’m reading this wrong Trump is now trying to dictate our taste and the films we should reasonably be able to have access to.
But no. Totally not a fascist.

I just saw that LIHEAP is on the chopping block in Budget 2026.
The Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program.
People ARE going to die. Let’s hope when the dying starts—as a DIRECT result of this administration’s policies—people are ready to do what needs to be done. There are more of us than them.

Having less choice at higher cost. Really sounds like an administration that is making the economy strong to me.

I’m 5’11” and weigh 210 pounds—in the worst shape of my life. There is NO. FUCKING. WAY. the Putrefying Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man only weighs 15 pounds more than me. Not a fucking chance in heaven or hell.

It’s extremely depressing watching the worst people in the country intentionally ruin the lives of hard-working, honest people in their anarcho-capitalist quest to destroy the government.

So, for those keeping score, in less than the First 100 Days the Trump Administration has lost our household our ONE dependable oversees supporter AND cancelled the grants to one of our main partnerships in the US.
And I ask again: IS AMERICA GREAT YET?

Well, we have been waiting for a store in Tokyo to reopen because Richard was supposed to start selling there again and we just got an email advising that.. (drumroll).. they are not going to be buying from any American designers this season because TRUMP’S TRADE WAR.

Hey LGB for Trump: Jagoff Dingus Vance is making the elimination (of another fucking country’s) anti-LGBTQ Hate-Speech laws a condition of a trade deal between the US and the UK.
Let that REALLY sink in. Take all the time you need.

I’ve taken to calling my intrusive thoughts “my intrudies” because maybe they will be less scary if I give them a cute name.

Oops. Correction: TWO cartoon Bond villains.

I think it’s pretty cool how a bunch of people were so mad about pronouns, gender-binary, and a bunch of other shit that is—frankly—none of their business that they decided to let a cartoon Bond villain plunge the world into a new Dark Age.
Nicely done, fuckwits.

I’ve been struggling with this very thing here too.
Hugs from Appalachia.

Ladrones de Tumbas, by Forest Altar 2 track album

FOREST ALTAR “Ladrones de Tumbas”
Part of the Slasher Collection series. An homage to horror films.
Dank, murky violence to raise devils. Like a half-destroyed microcassette found underneath a sacrificial pyre after Walpurgisnacht reveries.

Anyone remaining MAGA after this past two months is either evil, stupid, or both.
There is no other option.

A dear friend was just called by his boss at the Addiction facility where he works. As of 4-1 ALL federal funds to recovery New Jersey have been eliminated. Immediately.
55% of their operation hinges on that funding. He is likely out of a job and New Jersey is out of recovery.
Is America great yet?

Well, I just got the surprise revelation that even though I am paying more than $700 PER MONTH out of my paycheck for our health insurance as of January 31st 2025 MOST routine labs/bloodwork are no longer covered.
Let that sink in.
America is a scam.

Dogs are my favorite people.
That’s all.

I looked at what $150 was getting me at the grocery store tonight and some speech about “groceries”— being said like it was some weird thing to be concerned about—and I all the sudden got so mad I felt like I was going to have a stroke.
We great yet?

I’m so sorry you have to go through this. I can’t believe it’s come to this—except I kind of think I very much can.

I’m wallowing in my pettiness, but I’m taking comfort in the idea that in the future (what a quaint idea, right) the children and grandchildren of MAGA will have to reckon with history remembering their parents as the bad guys.

I agree, but I’d definitely support a substitution for the word “tax…”

Very preliminary thoughts on my weird 2025 decision to explore the mostly new-to-me Mogwai discography in studio-order: I like-to-love it, but the two weakest links so far are their big albums, “Happy Songs…” and “Mr. Beast.”
Halfway through “Hardcore Will Never Die, But You Will” now.
