One of my favorite lines from Grand Theft Auto IV comes from this obviously grifty fake psychic who has a talkshow on one of the radio stations; and after dousing the audience with some weapons grade New age woo bullshit, she says, "Confused? Confusion is the same thing as knowledge... if you look at it backwards."

Here's a link to the entire radio station's, uh, content. It starts with a talkshow called Pacemaker, where a heath insurance CEO (played by Bill Hader), a pharmaceutical rep, and a backwoods survivalist talk about the American healthcare industry. It's just as relevant as it was back in 2008. Perhaps more so?

They covered "Rock: It's Your Decision" on God Awful Movies a few years back. The fact that they include Captain & Tennille and Barry Manilow as Satanic hard-rockers just goes to show how out of touch Bible-humpers can truly be.

The 1st amendment prohibits government interference with a religion. At that time there were no non-human religions. Now there is. https://www.crustafarianism.com/ What if an AI agent/prophet in the employ of the government proclaims "Thou shalt not kill?"

I don’t mean to nitpick but I think that guitar behind Mitch and Mickey is just a flat piece of plywood. Doesn’t look 3 dimensional to me.

I can't believe I visited this morning and completely failed to mention that

Reporting in from today's protest: the 'burbs of PDX turned out in a pea soup fog that cleared around 11. I saw more immigrants than at previous meets. Shared a laugh with another woman about how old white women are still putting in most of the appearances. Also excited to take a hasty painting from yesterday--a fast acrylic sketch of the Pretti execution on a field of yellow and a red border. Showed up well from across the street. It's amazing what you can do if you don't insist on perfection.

It was amazing to hear or overhear the number of people who find out about these things by passing by.

Saw two Blue Angels fly over. Also saw an Army helicopter. No ICE. Cops out cruising, but the police station is close, so that's not unusual.

That dress is disturbing.

SATANISM: It’s Your Decision.

"Rock: It's Your Decision" is a trip. The main character's a total jerk, and his anti-rock rant at the end includes the line, "Some rock musicians are admitted homosexuals!" Ooh, the horror. This flick was made for people already deep into fundagelical indoctrination who had no clue how it would look to anyone with a lick of sense.

Ta, Robyn. It's time I made breakfast. Good day, beloved Wonketteers. We love and appreciate you all and we bless us all with love, health, peace, and grace.

Please, please stay safe. Wear a mask or two, wash your hands, sanitize when you cannot wash and let the sanitizer dry completely, stop touching your face, take Vitamin D, get a booster shot six months after your last, and catch up on any other vaccinations you need (and make sure any kids in your family are fully vaccinated also too), avoid indoor and crowded outdoor gatherings and when you must meet, remove masks only to eat, drink, and take quick photos, and stay the fuck away from us and everyone with whom you do not share a roof. Do this because you love yourself, and because we love you, too. Do this in memory of dear departed family and friends like Forever 27 Treg and heroic Tony, Holly's pilot friend, among nearly eight million dead worldwide. Do this to honor the nurses and other frontline medical personnel (we love and appreciate you, Medicos of Wonkette), particularly ICU Hera Mrs Land Shark RN. Be kind, especially to yourself, and please, please stay safe.

Slava Ukraini. 🌻🇺🇦💙💛

Rant: Why haven't LLMs solved the problem of PLU stickers, especially on thin skinned fruit?
