One of these days, maybe I will read Lovecraft and understand these references. I mean, I still get it without knowing the specifics, but it's not the same.
Can anyone recommend a good starting off point for reading Lovecraft?
He's also really fucking racist. Like half his stories are just typical GOP campaign talking points, "Immigrants are going to move on your street and start speaking different languages than you, OoOoOoOoOhHh!"
Speaking on Thursday's episode of "Inside Trump's Head," taped before a live audience in Los Angeles, Michael Wolff said a White House source "very close" to Trump told him the president wants $20 billion by the end of his term. The source added that Trump hopes to have deals in place so that he and his family can make $100 billion after he returns to Mar-a-Lago
Two things: 1) he can't take it with him and 2) it's gonna be Princess Sparkle Pony glittery bomb delightful watching the FBI, SEC, IRS, and whoever else seize ever single last shiny damn dime of those assets.
As a reminder, the only hint in that ad of what Amy Acton was supposed to have lied about comes when her mother intones, over a grainy image of a tent, "She says she grew up in a tent."
Fine. So she didn't. She had to spend just one winter there, along with the rest of the "family." So that means the majority of the growth of her life did not take place in that tent.
First of all, did Acton ever actually say she "grew up" in a tent? Second of all, WHO EVEN FUCKING CARES?? "Well, she didn't 𝘨𝘳𝘰𝘸 𝘶𝘱 in a tent" is EXACTLY what someone who forced their young daughter to live in a tent would say.
That woman years ago bad-mouthed her daughter to some forced-birth group.
I don't care how much that slime Ramaswamy denies it -- the woman HAS to have received a payoff, sometime, from somewhere.
Of course she did. Just like those "whistleblowers" who testified before Congress about bullshit weaponization by Biden. Dan Goldman, have you received any money from the GOP for this testimony? Liar, yes, I have received some contributions. Dan Goldman, so you're a charitable organization?
She has claimed before that that was a lie, but not in Rama-smarmy's ad.
Her story is that Amy got the idea to accuse her stepfather of rape from the bastard's daughter from a previous marriage, who alleged the same thing.
IOW, this woman took into her home, with access to her then-9-year-old daughter, someone whose OWN DAMN DAUGHTER had accused him of RAPING HER. And she then STUCK BY HIM to the point of not seeing her own daughter ever again.
I have no idea why this "mother" or anyone else thinks she has an atom of credibility.
NYT, today: "Two of President Trump’s top political operatives donated the fees they earned for advising a pro-Russian Balkan government to his presidential library fund. James Blair and Chris LaCivita confirmed in social media posts on Thursday that they made the donations. The revelation came more than two weeks after their work for Republika Srpska had provoked Mr. Trump’s ire.
Their relationship seemed to be in jeopardy after The New York Times revealed earlier this month that Mr. Blair and Mr. LaCivita had traveled to Srpska to advise the government around elections there. They were paid hundreds of thousands of dollars each by the Washington law firm Boies Schiller Flexner, which has represented Srpska, for the engagement. “If there’s a conflict, I will terminate them, immediately!” the president wrote on social media in response to the Times article.
Mr. Trump suggested to reporters on Friday that he did not ask the men to make the donations. He said that he was not looking into whether the engagement, which involved traveling to Srpska this month, was appropriate or a conflict of interest."
"President Trump said Friday he directed the Department of Justice (DOJ) to file a lawsuit to block certification of the Senate election in Alaska if Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan loses in November.
DOJ filed the suit Thursday, claiming that the existence of a candidate with a similar name to Sullivan would make a win by Democrat Mary Peltola invalid. Trump told reporters upon arriving in Florida that he had greenlit the preemptive election challenge himself.
There is precedence for two candidates of the same name to be in an election. I am sure, that's why they put candidates on party lines. Just out and out corruption and this should be a five-alarm fire for Republicans.
Would they be so okay with this if Kamala Harris had this power? Like what the fuck!
And just like Shub, Ramalamadingbat has utter contempt for the voters he's trying to persuade to vote for him. He 's certain they're a bunch of ignorant hicks who'll vote for him because he told them to.
Some think he's rambling to avoid talking about serious issues, I believe his dementia has lowered his inhibitions and we're seeing the real deal here.
The angry lashing out, the constant nodding off, the rambling nonsense that is even more rambling and nonsensical than last time, the obsession with other men's bodies . . . you may be on to something.
The body of.a 30-year-old? Damn, the old leathery naked guys who hang out in the Castro in the sun all day wearing nothing but a cock-sock look better than that guy.
For some reason the first billionaire propagandists always have coming out of their mouth is George Soros, yet they're so silent about what Temu Blofeld is doing.
We use Starlink for emergency services where I work (tsunami, fire, etc). When I get back to town next week, I'm going to lobby for our office to look for a viable alternative because not only is musk a vile, evil fucker, but he's made it clear that he's willing to limit services for those who cross his path. I'm in a blue town in a blue region. I can easily imagine he'd cut off services to the west coast (northern Cal, sw oregon, and orange co. excepted, of course) at a hissy-fit driven whim.
Just when I was thinking about making a joke about Vivek he becomes adjacent to DEAD MURDERED KITTENS.
Way to kill the mood asshole.
This shit comes in threes. What next Vivek? Are you the love child of the pedophile protecting mom? A secret half brother? Or did you eat the kittens?
Incidentally, August Derleth is vastly underrated. He did do better when he wasn't writing in the Cthulhu Mythos.
Time for me to bail for a while. My mood is turning sour and my words are turning dark and hateful. And, the Happy Hour bell is about to ring. Salud!
And it's double giraffe jerk time again.
One of these days, maybe I will read Lovecraft and understand these references. I mean, I still get it without knowing the specifics, but it's not the same.
Can anyone recommend a good starting off point for reading Lovecraft?
I haven't read all of Lovecraft, but in my opinion it's rather dated now. I could see the stories being scary a hundred years ago, but today... eh.
That said, I thought "The Rats in the Walls" and "Beyond the Mountains of Madness" succeeded in maintaining a sense of dread.
Thanks!
'“Lovecraft Country" by Matt Ruff is a hoot, though!
He's also really fucking racist. Like half his stories are just typical GOP campaign talking points, "Immigrants are going to move on your street and start speaking different languages than you, OoOoOoOoOhHh!"
Ugggghhhhhhh...why is it always that?

OT / Technical question but is it "A vial of Elon's cum" or "A vile of Elon's cum"?
yes.
A vial of Elon's vile cum.
What’s grosser than gross? A baby in a blender.
What’s grosser than that? Cum on Eileen.
“A vile” would be a good collective noun to describe billionaires.
A Herd of Cattle. A Flock of Sheep. A Pack of Wolves. A Murder of Crows. A Vile of Billionaires.
Excellent!

Xum
Scanned that as “Yum”. Yikes.

He'll really scream when it all gets taken away from him.
And I hope he’s still alive to see it happen.
So, he's a televangelist now.
I can hear the truck's backup alarm as it approaches the loading dock at Fort Knox.
Two things: 1) he can't take it with him and 2) it's gonna be Princess Sparkle Pony glittery bomb delightful watching the FBI, SEC, IRS, and whoever else seize ever single last shiny damn dime of those assets.
I truly hope that happens followed by prison time.
It would be great if we could recover all of that money.
It'll be funny when Putin denies him asylum.
Saudi's won't take him now either.
yeah, total bummer
Heavily thumbed copy of "Defenestration for Dummies" in the Kremlin head.
Depends on how much money he comes with.
It'll be even more funny when Putin takes his money and then still denies him asylum.
Mary warned us.
Hillary and Kamala too, also.
Repeatedly.
We already knew this and the 2nd time around would nearly bankrupt us.
When she gave birth to the Savior, do you mean?
Because even Jesus won't save us now.
St Mary The Niece, she of the lesser and exiled Trumps.
Her insight into the fucked up psychology of both her uncle and the whole family has been invaluable to me.
I meant his niece, the shrink/author.
I know. I was being a smartass.

That woman years ago bad-mouthed her daughter to some forced-birth group.
I don't care how much that slime Ramaswamy denies it -- the woman HAS to have received a payoff, sometime, from somewhere.
The monster 'mother' was apparently interrogated from the tent.
Of course she did. Just like those "whistleblowers" who testified before Congress about bullshit weaponization by Biden. Dan Goldman, have you received any money from the GOP for this testimony? Liar, yes, I have received some contributions. Dan Goldman, so you're a charitable organization?
Being [REDACTED] in a tent can make a girl grow up real fast.
No it can't. It can traumatize her and constitute a horrendous obstacle to be overcome.
Having your mother deny what happened to you sucks - it’s a sure-fire way to give up trusting the adults in your life. Give up trusting, period.
I thought the lie was that she said her mother's husband raped her?
She has claimed before that that was a lie, but not in Rama-smarmy's ad.
Her story is that Amy got the idea to accuse her stepfather of rape from the bastard's daughter from a previous marriage, who alleged the same thing.
IOW, this woman took into her home, with access to her then-9-year-old daughter, someone whose OWN DAMN DAUGHTER had accused him of RAPING HER. And she then STUCK BY HIM to the point of not seeing her own daughter ever again.
I have no idea why this "mother" or anyone else thinks she has an atom of credibility.
Ah, OK.
I have read that the court records say CPS picked her and her brother up from a tent.
Doesn't prove anything, but it does make Amy's version the one more likely to be true.
Why is anyone pretending that this monster has any credibility?
Of course her version is the true one. The mother isn't even really denying it, is my point.
There is no doubt in my mind Sleazy E slipped some cash into her pocket.
In deniable denominations.
Who?
The world's wealthiest...man. As such.
Beak, wetted:

But it’d the Republican wins it’s all just fucking ducky.
>>“It’s a disgrace,” Trump said.<<
True, but not in the way Fatberg "thinks."
We know that by how fucking stupid it is, Piggy.
“I’m the one who said ‘do it,’” Trump said. "
You're gonna eat those fucking words.
If there were a case, there isn’t now.
So far he's skated on everything as has every R in his orbit. He'll do blanket pardons and he's already said he's going to pardon himself.
All ice cracks at some point.
He'll be dead before we can get to him.
And just like Shub, Ramalamadingbat has utter contempt for the voters he's trying to persuade to vote for him. He 's certain they're a bunch of ignorant hicks who'll vote for him because he told them to.
he's not entirely wrong . . .
👍👍👍 for "Ramalamadingbat!"
I match your 3 thumbs up and raise you a ROFL
Call!!
Trump: "Did anybody ever see the build, the body, on Bobby? Did anybody ever see? He's got the body of a 30 year old."

Just come out and say you lust for him Trump! You know you want to!
Hold ass like hamburger.
People with dementia often become over-sexed. Horny.
I think we currently have our first bisexual president.
We already knew he was...a "BUY-sexual president" from Stormy! 😏
If so you know he would be a total pillow prince.
Certainly the first one with 2 impeachments, 34 felony convictions and rape.
"He's got the body of a 30 year old."
Yeah, under the floorboards of his toolshed...
hidden in his basement crawlspace, most likely.
“Bobby” looks like he lives in one of those airport smoking rooms.
I had a connecting flight through ATL in 2000. The above is accurate.
His style inspiration is lox.
>>He's got the body of a 30 year old.<<
[ancient joke] He goddamn jolly well better give it back before he destroys it completely. [/ancient joke]
EW.
I am starting to wonder if his brain is broken.
There's no "starting to wonder" here.
Some think he's rambling to avoid talking about serious issues, I believe his dementia has lowered his inhibitions and we're seeing the real deal here.
The angry lashing out, the constant nodding off, the rambling nonsense that is even more rambling and nonsensical than last time, the obsession with other men's bodies . . . you may be on to something.
Are you ready for this?
Yer damn right I am!
Should I sit down?
The body of.a 30-year-old? Damn, the old leathery naked guys who hang out in the Castro in the sun all day wearing nothing but a cock-sock look better than that guy.
I think Roy Cohn taught him more than never admitting defeat.
Roy Cohn was another one who looked like a freshly buried corpse that had been dug up, hitched to a truck, and dragged backwards through a gravel pit.
*wah-wah guitar*
Bow chicka
Thirty year old piece of dung.

We use Starlink for emergency services where I work (tsunami, fire, etc).

Better yet: Figure out how to use it for free.
