I am increasingly hostile towards politics, in general, and the political parties, specifically. Republicans have zero interest in making things better for the American people and every interest in making things better for corporations. Democrats have an interest in making things better for the American people, but they are near-worthless at getting anything done. They love nothing more than doing fuck-all so that they have something to run against in the next election cycle. It's a vicious circle which is more about maintaining wealth and political power than serving those who elect them.
Last night was a predictably massive response swing to the fucking horrific policies of the Trump Administration. People's lives are measurably harder with new wars from the "No More Wars President"... heinously more expensive from the "Cheaper Groceries on Day One President" (not to mention the "I Don't Know How Tariffs Work President")... then capped off by the "I Only Give a Shit About Making Myself Richer And Don't Give A Fuck If You Get Poorer President"... etc. etc. etc.
Democrats didn't experience a "blue wave," so much as a fucking blue tsunami.
But Republicans shouldn't be too upset. Unlike your party that elects people who go for the throat and get shit done, Democrats will cling to the status quo. At least I assume so, since that's all they ever do. Maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised!
My personal favorite election of the night was Dr. Abdul Al-Sayed winning Michigan away from corrupt piece of shit Mike Rogers. The worry, of course, is that Abdul is a Muslim and is going to conquer the country with Sharia Law. Which is so fucking absurd as to be laughable. Indonesia is the country with the largest Muslim population on earth... and Sharia Law is not a governing factor at all. But I've been there and have seen it in person, so I can't be scared over what a bullshit concept it is. Abdul ran on "Money out of politics. Money in your pocket. Medicare for all." Which is great... I love it... except he's going to be fighting his party every step of the way. Crusty assholes like Nancy Pelosi and my own Senator Patty Murray will fight tooth and nail for their right to suck Big Pharma and Insurance Lobby dick for cash. I wish the fuck they could get the hell out of the way, but they are career politicians who don't want meaningful change. Good luck, Abdul. You'll need it.
I thought that James Talarico had a near-impossible task ahead of him turning Texas (of all places) blue... but, then again, I underestimated how disgusted Republicans would be with total fucking piece of shit Ken Paxton. Had it been just about anybody except Paxton, I think Texas would still be red. No fucking clue what in the hell Republicans were thinking by running the asshole, but it will make for an interesting change for the Lone Star State. Now if only they would get rid of Ted Cruz. I'd pay serious money not to have to see his fucking face ever again.
What's funny to me is that a lot of times I wasn't rooting for Democrats... I was rooting against Republicans. Let's take a look, shall we?
I'd love to be able to add terminal fucking bitch Cindy Hyde-Smith to the above list, but her race is too close to call. This literal ghoul is one of the biggest pieces of shit in politics. How the fuck her race can be a dead-heat when she's such garbage is beyond comprehension...
Keep in mind... this is a Senator from FUCKING MISSISSIPPI, a state known for a history of LYNCHING, where she said PUBLICLY that she'd be happy to attend a public hanging. Good fucking GOD how do people like this get elected? Racist, anti-woman, trash. She's fucking trash. I hope to God that Scott Colom manages to maintain his razor-thin lead to prevail over whatever this gawdawful asshole is supposed to be.
Another race too close to call... Lauren Fucking Boebert. She has got to be, without a doubt, one of the stupidest, most-ignorant, and ill-informed US Representatives to ever give a hand-job in a public theater. Though, if I'm being honest, I will kind of miss her if she loses. Her entertainment value as the village idiot is almost too good to lose...
I mean, this... this... holy fuck, what is this?...
Wait. I take it back. It's just too fucking humiliating to the country that something this fucking idiotic is representing people here. WHAT THE FUCK, COLORADO?!?
And don't even get me started on Virginia Ann Foxx. That fucking waste of space is a non-stop parade of shit, and I'm hoping she falls under the recount threshold so I don't ever have to hear that hag's rude-ass, foul-mouthed, decrepit bullshit again.
Sadly, Tom Cotton kept his seat in Arkansas. What a fucking anti-American racist piece of shit. SLAVERY WAS A NECESSARY EVIL?!? WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK???? His being an Army veteran has done a lot of heavy lifting throughout his career, and I was ready for him to finally be removed. He's a special flavor of stupid who often unleashes idiocy that has no basis in reality, and only cares about being some kind of dim-witted attack dog more than being principled or right.
But anyway...
I am going to end this way-too-long political rant nobody wanted with this: If Democrats reward Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries with Speaker or any other election benefit, they are more fucking stupid than I thought. These clowns didn't contribute in any meaningful way to what happened on Tuesday. On the contrary, both of them did everything they could to stop it from happening. These two zeros are exactly who I'm talking about when I say that status-quo Democrats need to be shoved aside by those who want to actually get things done.
And so...
See you in two years, when we'll do this shit all over again!

• Color it Purple! Why? Why can't this be the political attitude on both sides of the fucking divide?
It's probably because hate is what wins elections now. And how sad is that? There was a time that politicians would work for all their constituents, we need to get back to that. By electing people like this.

No science? WE WRITE SCIENCE IN ARABIC NUMERALS, YOU STUPID FUCKING RACIST ASSHOLE! And what about algebra? Algebra comes from the "al-jabr" in the book title Al-Kitāb al-mukhtaṣar fī ḥisāb al-jabr wal-muqābalah by Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi... THE FATHER OF ALGEBRA! No literature? How the fuck could even the stupidest person not know of One Thousand and One Nights? It's a hugely famous collection of folktales, to which Sinbad the Sailor was added. How hasn't his ignorant ass heard of that one? And works from Arab authors are being widely translated into other languages... INCLUDING ENGLISH. Not that I expect this mutherfucker to read a fucking book. And notice that the turd never mentioned architecture. Probably because even his worm-addled brain knows that some of the most stunning architecture in the world comes from Arab origins. Or art, of which there is a fuck-ton of incredible works from the Arab world. Good God. — The asshole's got money... pick up a fucking passport and take a look at the world, dumbass.
THESE are the people representing this country? I just want it all to go the fuck away. What in the hell have we become?
• NEWSFLASH: Richard Norton, actor and martial artist, died after peptides triggered heart attack, coroner says. Good thing our Health Secretary is on the case: RFK Jr. eases access to unproven peptides despite opposition from FDA scientists. Jesus what a fucking stupid piece of shit. Anybody taking medical advice from the dumbass deserves what they get. Unfortunately, that means the United States of America, where he's inexplicably been put in charge of something he doesn't know jack-shit about.
Now back to laying on the couch with intestinal distress.
Lifelong piece of shit Vivek Ramaswamy released a horrific attack ad against his opponent, Amy Acton, which had Acton's piece of shit mother, Donna Arthur, telling people not to vote for her and calling her a liar.
Except...
Donna Arthur lost custody of Amy Acton at age 12 after Acton's stepfather was charged with raping her. The step-father was arrested, indicted, then fled and became a fugitive. Arthur stayed married to him until his death, despite him sexually assaulting her daughter.
And then Laura Loomer decided to chime in...
This is disgusting. But I'd expect nothing less from that ratchet cunt. What a horrifically vile fucking asshole.
Laura Loomer is vying to be the next press secretary and, given her predictable defense of pedophiles, she'd be welcomed with open arms by the administration. The only thing that keeps my rage in check is that she will one day be burning in hell with the rest.
And one of "the rest" is this serial abuser who doesn't give a fuck about anybody...
Painfully on-brand for him.
Though somebody pointed out how Donna Arthur and Trump are practically twins, and now I will never be able to un-see it. Cake on some orange makeup and it's as if they were separated at birth...
There literally is no bottom with these assholes. Just when you think they couldn't possibly stoop any lower, they prove you wrong. An ad which doesn't attack Acton's policies or positions, but instead has her mother attack her as a "liar" FOR BEING A SURVIVOR OF SEXUAL ASSAULT AT THE HAND OF A HUSBAND SHE STAYED WITH?!??
Seriously. Fuck this shit. I hope anybody defending this, including the entire Vivek Ramaswamy campaign, goes down in flames.

• Flexibility! So there I was waiting for some pizzas to come out of the oven at the local pizza joint when I looked at the video games that were running. I saw Marvel Super Heroes, which I had seen before and even played. What I never noticed before is that the header art is by one of my all-time favorite artists: Arthur Adams! How cool is this...
Then I noticed Psylocke's weird... very weird leg position...
He right upper leg is perpendicular to her body (ouch!) and her lower leg is across the title of the machine there. It's a bit strange, but these are comic book characters and it's not anything too bizarre. No... it's her left leg that's just weird as all get-out. She could have easily lodged her knee against the giant "L" there, but instead her leg hangs straight down. It's such a strange choice that a part of me wants to believe that Adams didn't draw it like this, but instead he was asked to re-draw it like this so the logo wasn't crowded? No idea. Maybe it's not strange after all and I'm just jealous that I'm nowhere near this flexible!
• Mini! These kind of miniature builds fascinate me. Even if you don't want to sit through 25 minutes of him making the model, you can skip to the very end to see it completed...

Looks amazing. Those fourteen years don't seem wasted, that's for sure.

• Stay Seated! I keep hearing these stories of airline passengers losing their shit because they asked somebody to swap seats with them and that person refused. It's insane. People book the seats they want. Sometimes they pay extra money to book the seats they want. If there's a seat you want, then book that fucking seat! I don't care if you want to sit next to your husband or grandmother or child. I want the seat that I paid for! I have swapped seats when asked a couple times... but only to an equivalent seat. I have twice asked somebody to switch seats with me... but they were military personnel flying home, and I was asking to swap my First Class seat with their Economy seat because they had already been on a very long flight from their deployment and I wanted to thank them for their service by letting them have a seat they could rest on before they get home to people who were excited to see them and not letting them rest. But otherwise? STOP EXPECTING PEOPLE TO GIVE UP THEIR SEAT!!!

• Going Out on a High Note! I had never seen this before. It's wonderful...
Fuck anybody who thinks that public programming like this deserves to be defunded. Every other fucking thing on television is built to sell things to kids... not educate them. We need more education.
And now I'll go back to eating ramen because my cats like heat.
It was announced today that the Fort Hood terrorist who killed 13 people will be executed for his crimes. And that the execution will be live-streamed.
Now, I've tried to live a life of non-violence since I studied Buddhism in the late 80's. I don't consider myself a Buddhist, but I do find that integrating some Buddhist precepts and teachings in my life leads to my living a happier, more fulfilling existence. As an example, it's a small joy to me to catch a spider and release it outside as opposed to killing the poor thing. There's a power which comes from not taking a life that makes me feel better about my existence in a way few other things do. It's why I'm a vegetarian.
So you can imagine my confusion here.
One one hand, I'm thinking "Fuck yeah! Light the asshole up! He's a piece of shit terrorist, a murderer, and he deserves to be executed!" But on the other hand, I'm thinking "Doesn't wishing a man dead, regardless of his crimes, make me just as bad as he is? Can't there be a way to punish him in a way which doesn't result in killing?"
Ultimately I would prefer to not kill under any circumstances, I think. But in this case? I just don't know. I'm glad it's not my decision to make.
Regardless of what side of the fence I reconcile with, I absolutely do not feel that an execution should be presented as public entertainment.
And let me tell you why.
First of all, I do not buy into the argument which says it makes the country look strong in the face of terrorism. What it does is make us look like a country of psychotic monsters who get a thrill from watching somebody be killed in real-time. Live-streaming an execution? Who does that? Terrorists... and, apparently, We The People of The United States of America. What a sick thing to be presenting to the world.
Second of all, I do not agree that publicly executing somebody will dissuade others from committing terrorist acts. Especially when we all know that this will just drive more people to commit terrorist acts. Because they're terrorists. Nothing makes them happier than public displays of violence which advance their cause... even when it is them on the receiving end of that violence. It's all part of their plan. They become martyrs for the cause, and the entire world can see it happen live. And the reaction will be the opposite of what's intended. Dissuade terrorists? Hell no. You're inspiring them. If you absolutely must lower yourselves to executing the asshole, then do it in private and let him slip into obscurity. Don't give him the martyrdom notoriety he's craving.
And lastly, I honestly do feel that this makes us no better than the person we're executing. He used violence to make a public statement. Public execution is the same thing. It's not going to solve anything.
Over and over again I see people on the Right justifying public execution with "Liberals cheered when Charlie Kirk was executed publicly... why is this execution any different?" And the answer is that people tuning in to watch Charlie Kirk were not expecting to see him murdered. Whereas people tuning into Hegseth's snuff film will be watching somebody be killed as entertainment intentionally. And if I have to explain why that's wrong, then nothing I can say will change your mind, so I hope you have fun watching a person being killed.
I, however, will not be tuning in to watch.
I prefer my violence as entertainment to be fake and come from Hollywood, because they know how to do it up right. An actual execution is likely boring as hell. And highly disturbing. And destroys your soul, whether you know it or not. But in a movie? Well, it's not for everybody. But for me? That's entertainment.
UPDATE 10/12/26: Oh look... co-signed by somebody who actually knows what they're talking about...
This is so important that I'm typing out Lieutenant General Sean McFarland's post for accessibility...
This is a terrible idea - Pete Hegseth is giving Hassan exactly what he wants. I have no problem with executing this man. In fact, when I was CG of Fort Hood, it was my responsibility to approve his death sentence. I also had the solemn duty of presenting Purple Heart medals to those he wounded and to the next of kin of those he killed. But it is fair to ask whether carrying out the sentence at Fort Hood and live streaming it is justice, vengeance, or a mere spectacle for the masses. It also surrenders a piece of the moral high ground we have held up to now in our campaigns against Al Qaeda and ISIS by adopting their barbaric practice of video recording the executions of their prisoners. Once it is aired, it is bound to make it harder for our service members to be seen as "the good guys" in foreign lands. How many insurgents were inspired to attack our troops by photos from Abu Ghraib prison? Worst of all, it will make Nidal Hassan an international martyr. Shooting a hole in the chest of a wheelchair bound paraplegic on live tv will not be a good look for America, no matter who we are shooting. By all means, deliver justice to this man. But do it humanely, with dispassionate professionalism, in seclusion at the US Disciplinary Barracks. This will deliver the necessary punitive and deterrent effects while upholding our reputation as a civilized nation to be admired and emulated. It will also deprive our enemies of a propaganda weapon to use against us.
What in the hell are we even doing any more?
I'm way too tired to think about blogging, but it cannot be helped... because an all new Bullet Sunday starts...now...
• Solo Funtime Gaming! If you've taken a look at my game collection at Board Game Geek, you'll have seen that there's only one game which gets a perfect 10 ("Outstanding. Always want to play and expect this will never change")... and it's called Puzzle Dungeon. It's essentially a more fun version of Solitaire. I originally had it as a "print-and-play" game, where you pay for a file that you can print out and play with. I fell in love with it immediately. Until my cards were lost and I couldn't find the file to reprint them. I tried to buy a printed set but, wisely, there were none available on eBay because people don't want to part with them. Except I recently found out that the designer, Brian Garber, has reprinted the game and is selling it on his Etsy shop...
And, let me tell you, I snapped up the Deluxe Box, the Expansion Set, and the Play Mat SO fast. I haven't played in years, and October 19th (the ship date) can't come soon enough. I really hope that his Puzzle Dungeon: Pets expansion gets printed one day. And that his other game, To The Death eventually gets reprinted, because I'd love to play that.
• Not Helping! One of the most classic of the classic BritComs is That Mitchell and Webb Look. There's been a hit of controversy over this 20-year-old show lately because the BBC cut out some sketches which were deemed "insensitive to modern audiences" or something like that. But the situation is a bit more complicated than that. One of the sketches was cut because Mitchell and Webb were in blackface. But the sketch was pointing out that the white people were able to overlook that the blackface was racist until the situation escalated, and it was the escalation which convinced them to stop and not the actual blackface. The ignorance is the entire point of the sketch. So maybe it's not that modern audiences are "sensitive" to it... it's more likely that modern audiences wouldn't understand it. I don't know. Since I'm white, it's really not my place to say whether it's racist, so I trust that the BBC looked into it by consulting those who can make that call. But in any event, Mitchell and Webb have been back for a few months with a new YouTube series called Mitchell and Webb Are Not Helping. I've been enjoying it...
I hope they keep going with the series, because their humor has had more than a few bits that were highly insightful and relevant even today, with this being their most famous...
Though there's talk that the BBC wanted to cut that sketch as well, so maybe I'm completely out of the loop? I wonder if this one was considered...
AND THEN... the state of inoffensive comedy gets a comment...
A new classic.

And a lot of women shared his posts, which is why he was everywhere. But I never thought to follow him until he started sharing his thoughts on anything and everything.

• SERIOUSLY HATES THEM! A 20-year-old Cornell student says she was pressured into snorting ketamine at the Chi Phi house in Ithaca on the night of October 19, 2024. At 1:42am, according to her lawsuit, a fraternity member posted two words in the frat’s Snapchat group chat, Chi Phi Actives: "Free pussy.” The complaint says Johnathan Newell sent it. More men came upstairs after that. She says the assault went on until about 5:45 in the morning. More than four hours. These seven men are named in the lawsuit:
• Matthew Ingalls
• Johnathan Newell
• Winston Lee
• Gillio Lopes
• Diego Sarabia
• Scott Norris
• Scott Kretzschmar
She reported it to campus police on November 8, 2024. The fraternity was suspended, and so were those seven men, temporarily. Then, according to the lawsuit, Cornell offered them a way to “mitigate” what they’d done. Write an essay... yes, an essay. Those named deny any wrongdoing. This information was taken from a Facebook post, but reported in The Cornell Daily Sun.
And, on that entirely depressing note, I'm off to prepare for the busy week ahead.
I read a story from 2019 today that kinda hit different.
It was out of Smithsonian magazine, and is titled A Young Arctic Fox Traveled From Norway to Canada in 76 Days.
It's remarkable. She's so small...
Elise Stromseng/Norwegian Polar Institute
I mean, just look at this journey...
Arnaud Tarroux/NINA
I wish I knew why this story makes me so sad for her. It's like she kept going because she didn't know what else to do?
Then I got it.
It's the same for most of us. You just keep going because you don't know what else to do.
The difference being that I can turn on a movie and forget about survival for a bit.
I'm going to say the same thing I said about the Democratic Party when they wanted Biden to run for a second term... the Republican Party wheeling out a confused Mitch McConnell because they needed his vote is elder abuse.
Hell, Mitch was so confused that he was going to vote with the Democrats before his Republican colleagues stepped in to stop him. It's all so disgusting how people are so eager to take advantage of older people whose minds are not capable enough to understand what's going on.
Public officials and politicians make decisions which affect our lives. If they are demonstrating signs of confusion or dementia... whether due to age or not... they need to undergo a mental evaluation which is then made PUBLIC if they are deemed mentally capable. If they are not deemed mentally capable, they should be relieved of their duties. I'm sick and tired of these behind-the-scenes evaluations which are kept secret. If they are so mentally capable as to hold office, why is the evaluation not made public? If they aced the evaluation, what possible reason could there be not to release a video of what took place?
There isn't one. Full stop.
