Empress of Mars: Undisputed @zebratron2084@awoo.space

I caught a Nazi named "Wotansvolk" or something posting about his dogs -- Thor and Adolph, ffs -- to Reddit's /r/aww community, pointed out his screamingly anti-Semitic posting history, and got him run out of the community as a laughing stock. From 15 upvotes to -5 in all of two minutes.

Won't change a thing, but it made him really mad, and there is a huge indelible smile on my face.

Note also that the "alloys" story is probably not the proof people were hoping for: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-truth-about-those-alien-alloys-in-the-new-york-times-ufo-story/

In particular, note that it would be pretty obvious if a metallic sample came from deep space due to the inevitable ionization.

Note also that the alleged money quote refers to odd reactions in people who encountered the alloys, not the alloys themselves. The same can be said of cell phone signals, MSG, and cursed objects. :p

Apologies to anyone who was weighing any hopes of getting off this planet upon this story. But fringe culture, including UFOlogy, has been a major hobby of mine since I was a teenager, and after a while you get REAL hard to impress with these stories.

See also his vague and inconclusive descriptions of UFO encounters in https://www.express.co.uk/news/weird/896247/UFO-sighting-aliens-Pentagon-Luis-Elizondo-Earth-space-US-Navy-pilot These are the same sort of encounters that have been reported since the very start of UFO sightings -- which, mysteriously, only happened after Richard Sharpe Shaver's legendary hoax in Amazing Stories ( http://sacred-texts.com/ufo/irl/ ), and tend to drastically resemble his original fiction.

That's right. I said it was a weather balloon.</soul_coughing>

Here are the two relevant articles. Draw your own conclusions:

Note particularly what's become of Luis Elizondo, the AATIP head who was featured in the Huffington Post: he founded an _entertainment company_ that same week.

If you knew something transcendent and wonderful and secret were true, would that the first thing YOU did with that news, rather than, I don't know, try to send greetings or thumb a ride?!?

I present... the One True Pairing.

Sorry, Bob. (Or maybe he got TFed!)

Yes, brain. I know, your serotonin level is way off. Yes, brain, I know you crave stimulus.

Yes, brain. I know, you don't like doing long drawn-out precision tasks.

No, brain, I'm pretty sure the quality of our giftwrap cuts will not in any way affect the physical health of our loved ones.

Yes, brain, that's very nice. How about I give you some nice caffeine and put you in this media playpen while the grown-ups in the frontal cortex get some wrapping done.

If my attitudes about violence vs. far-righties ever seem incongruously soft or equivocal, please take a moment to consider them as I do: as fragile glass houses covered in tar, with signs in Richard Spencer's handwriting neatly labeled "KICK ME."

This is why I just can not advocate kicking them, kids. How much more obvious of a trap do they have to set?

A nice anonymous rock through their walls in the dead of night is far more effective. Don't hit when they're watching, schmuck.

oh and my ocd is absolutely raging out here, intrusive thoughts like freakin' crazy, but they are mostly comfortably distant or morally unimpeachable things like "fuck bankers" or "human beings suck" or imagining trump suddenly contracting a lethal biblical plague while on camera.

but i'll take this over the depression any day -- i'm just so fucking bored

also, for the last few months i seem to perpetually be just about to move out of college, or _somewhere_. there's always a room, and a lot of stuff that has to go somewhere, and a lot of weird uncertainty about the future, and i go looking for my friends and don't find them. go figure.

(my brain usually takes 3-4 months to process that a crisis is over n.n; )

i only just stopped dreaming of video arcades this year

the best ones are where my latent paranoid streak comes to the surface and you're all witches or space blobs or from the cia or ate a bad computer chip or something and basically my brain casts you in my own personal hitchcock thriller where i have to run away from you

they're especially fun because usually my brain cheats and i have superpowers throughout the whole ordeal and you don't, sorry XD

also as my REM sleep recovers during the tolerance break, the nightmares have been pretty awesome, really

the only bad one involved me having a huge public meltdown and everybody being mad at me, but... you know, that got a huge bolus of mental ick out of my system, 'cause frankly I'd been feeling that way daily since I lost my shit this summer

everything else is just bizarro-seattle where there's a weird catastrophe or invasion every day, but it's not my fault so it's fine XD

fortunately this gives me plenty of time to read news and contemplate sane, humane ideas like "how far could we fight our way into Goldman Sachs corporate hq with 500 queer socialists armed with kitchen knives"

or see if i can get through a 4th playthrough of the complete strong bad emails, which has been pretty rewarding actually

again, don't feel sorry for me, this is basically my week in the regeneration vats -- and i'll be able to appreciate seattle all over again in a week

having a decent but inert day, the jetlag is just kicking my ass. i have every idle pleasure available legally in ohio except for sleep, which effectively means I've done nothing today but watch bad movies with my parents, play armello, and eat cannoli dip and wedding soup.

i feel like that poor fucking ocelot in archer, just running around and around in a nearly empty room. i should really at least try to get some exercise tomorrow.

too much world news and too much glurge today, so i offer this instead:

sit back, relax and ponder

- you too are a constant annoyance to our enemies

- in fact, you are someone else's sign of the apocalypse

- they don't think they could survive in your world

- this is purely something to gloat about

- annoying authoritarian shitheads is the most noble thing you can ever do

- we don't even have to work for it, we just have to keep talking out loud

also the sheer amount of expanded universe bullshit in wikipedia's article on fictional revolutionaries makes me want to go far, far back in time and hoof each and every rebel pr flak and historian flat in their rubbery muppet chops

There we go. When the tiger arrives, I'm flipping a coin. If it's heads, "Gavroche." If it's tails, "Jinjur."
