We'd be a more successful species if women consumed the man's body after sex.

Human nature: as long as we have tomorrow we don't have to act now because we can act tomorrow.

Humans when finally there's no tomorrow: "Shit, we should have acted already, too late."

Ex-CIA Whistleblower: "The NSA Audited The 2024 Election, Kamala Harris Won" Math doesnโ€™t lieโ€”people do. A buried NSAโ€‘authorized audit paved the way for this unelected illegitimate regime.

This should be a Five Alarm Fire on every G'ddamned media outlet in the world.

I very rarely post a link to someone else's newsletter...as I have my own. This, however...is a MUST see.

Mystics say we ARE everything and it's not even out there.

It's just one massive verb. The pieces only look different.

That's what they say.

Sorry if it's irritating.

Whenever I asked Yarvin about resonances between his writing and real-world events, his response was nonchalant. He seemed to see himself as a conduit for pure reasonโ€”the only mystery, to him, was why it had taken others so long to catch up. โ€œYou can invent a lie, but you can only discover the truth,โ€ he told me. We were in London, where he was attending the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship, a conservative conference co-founded by the psychologist Jordan Peterson. (Yarvin described Peterson to me as โ€œa dandyโ€ with โ€œa weird narcissistic energy coming off of him.โ€) Accompanying Yarvin on his travels were Eduardo Giralt Brun and Alonso Esquinca Dรญaz, two millennial filmmakers who were shooting a documentary about his life. Their goal was to make a naturalistic character study in the style of โ€œGrey Gardens,โ€ in which, as Brun put it, โ€œthe camera just happens to be around.โ€ It wasnโ€™t going to plan. Yarvin kept repeating the same monologues, which meant that much of the footage was the same. The filmmakers worried that his racist remarks would turn viewers off. One afternoon in London, Dรญaz had filmed Yarvin getting his portrait painted with Lord Maurice Glasman, a post-liberal political theorist who has been called โ€œLabourโ€™s MAGA Lord,โ€ for his support of Brexit and his ongoing dialogue with figures like Steve Bannon. At one point in their discussion, Yarvin had pulled out his iPhone to show Glasman that heโ€™d hacked the chatbot Claude to get it to call him by the N-word.

In the New Yorker profile of Curtis Yarvin, ideological lodestar of Trump, Stephen Miller and the ascendant American technofascist right, we learn that he's been spending time with Blue Labour peer Maurice Glasman, who Starmer's current right-wing genuflections are aimed to please. So that's nice.

Its criteria for better sleep sound like they're based on immobility rather than any kind of genuine value.

Also, who needs a watch to tell them if they're sleeping well or not?

My parents had the same issue years ago. May be worth trying the insurance ombudsman if the "pre-existing" is debatable.

If you'd like one more, Catalan sports commentators, when a footballer exaggerates the seriousness of a supposed foul, say "mรฉs pa que formatge", "more bread than cheese."

Not enough information.

Murdered who, why? Previous convictions? General character?

Also current feelings of wife, level of sensitivity etc.

Leaning strongly towards "keep quiet" but above all, don't half tell. No one can resist that curiosity.

I have it on good authority that there's just one massive mind process non-thing acting like loads of humans and things for no reason we can fathom, so that makes perfect sense to me.
