The Tyrannids are here

 

Ana Kasparian has returned to the liberal leftoid side. Apparently. In case anyone gives a damn, but since I commented her U-turn in the opposite direction in 2024, I might as well post this follow up. From some ex-TYT channel on YouTube.

White Nationalists say: Breed more colored babies!

 

White Christian Nationalists want more colored babies!

J D Vance wants to expand "Mexico City Policy", halt foreign abortions

Helt otroligt

 

Enligt denna artikel var Danmark faktiskt beredda på krig med Donald Trumps USA (även om de betraktade detta scenario som ett av de mindre troliga). De skickade dessutom en förfrågan till Sverige om militärt stöd. Men offentligt sade de ju att Trump missförstått syftet med truppförflyttningarna till Grönland. Uppenbarligen gjorde han inte det...

Frågan är vem som framstår som svagast i den här situationen. Danmark, som jag antar inte har en chans mot USA om de verkligen invaderar "isbiten"? Eller Trump, som svarade på de danska trupperna med hot om strafftullar på smörrebröd eller vad det nu är DK exporterar över Pölen?!

Eller också är det någon någonstans som ljuger. Men även om vi antar att så är fallet är det givetvis intressant att någon nu spinner propaganda om att Danmark (och Sverige) under några dagar inte uteslöt krig med Förenta Staterna. Och ärligt talat tror jag att uppgifterna stämmer.

NATO framstår alltmer som ett ännu större skämt än när Biden lät Erdogan och Orbán trakassera Sverige under ratificeringsprocessen...   

Danmark satte militären i beredskap

Infohazard

 

A 30-minute autistic video on (alleged) infohazards and cognitohazard. OK, a few of them use to rattle me too. Most others...not so much. LOL. Am I *that* normal, then? Damn. Somehow, that realization is a cognitohazard in itself...

Many of the intellectual "harzards" mentioned in this video are either obviously false or simply meaningless. So why bother with them? Others are pure thought experiments from horror stories or computer games. But sure, maybe some autists or very sensitive people are affected by this stuff. 

What´s up with the Invertebrata, btw? Now, *that* shit almost scared the hell out of me!   

Strange reset

 

Two YouTube videos (with heavily overlapping information) about the strange Internet phenomenon known as Unfavorable Semicircle. I admit I never heard about it until earlier today. But then, the whole thing is a bit too "autistic" for my (relatively) normal brain. 

To this day, nobody knows who created the weird YT channel with the strange title Unfavorable Semicircle. Was it a modern art project? Or aliens as usual? Who knows. And more importantly: Who cares? Unless it´s aliens, of course.  

Crazy stuff White folk do

 

Some White dudes all but un-ironically worshipping an idol of Ganesha. Yes, it´s Skanda Vale again. I asked ChatGPT to translate the devotional song. It goes:  "Victory to you, O elephant-faced son of Pārvatī and Śiva! You are the pure destroyer of obstacles, revered even by Skanda. At your feet, O Gaṇeśa, I take refuge." 

I also asked why Ganesh is holding a psychedelic mushroom in one of his hands. The AI hotly denied it, claiming it´s a stylized modaka! (An Indian dumpling often offered to...you may have guessed it...Ganesha.) Apparently, Skanda Vale aren´t into the more psychotropic end of the Hippie alternative commune spectrum. 

BUT THEY NEVER ASKED WHAT´S INSIDE THE MODAKA, HUH HUH.

Kidding...

"I shit and offer it to Buddha"

 

Ikkyu was a 15th century Japanese Zen master of the usual "crazy wisdom" kind. He slept with prostitutes, drank rice wine, dressed like a beggar, and wrote a collection of bizarre poetry titled "The Crazy Cloud". Ikkyu´s last poem said that he had grown so old and tired, that he just shat and offered the feces to the Buddha! 

I kind of wonder about the social role played by "crazy wisdom" teachers. Is it a extreme counter-reaction to a society so hierarchic that it can´t be meaningfully reformed or revolutionized, making "crazy wisdom" the only possible form of social protest? Or is it rather a way for said society to get rid of (while de facto also managing) its kooks and undesirables? The protest against the Spectacle is part of the Spectacle itself.

Maybe that´s the fate of all "radical" counter-cultures. Meanwhile, also in 15th century Japan, there were peasant rebels trained by dissatisfied samuari. They too claimed to be Buddhists...

Draw your own conclusions. 

Unfavorable semicircle

 

Some random mystery stories from the Why Files. 

Three cadets walk into a small town in England...only to find that it looks like it did 700 years ago, just after the Black Death had killed most of its population. Time distortion? Place memories? An American man turns out to have strange paranormal abilities. The temperature around him suddenly drops, water appears from a hole in space-time right above him, et cetera. Human poltergeist? And yes, the third story is about "Unfavorable Semicircle". A communication from aliens firmly anchored in a metallic UFO at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean? Or is it Cthulhu as per usual? One thing is certain: THEY ARE STILL DOWN THERE.

Make of this content whatever you wish.   

Official optimism

 

Half of Europe´s population died horribly during the Black Death circa 1350. Yet, here we are. Carthage was destroyed by the Romans. But then, it was rebuilt. So was Jericho. Baghdad was genocided by the Mongols. Yet, there it is. China and Russia has collapsed repeatedly through world history. They are still great powers. 

Oh, and then there´s Atlantis. Gone in fire and gravel, right? But we´re here. And we´re more advanced than the Atlantids. All of humanity drawned in the Flood, except for one family. Today, the world´s population is much higher than in the times of Methuselah. The Nazis killed six million Jews. Yet, there are more Jews today than ever before in history. Millions of American Indians died due to lack of immunity to European disease. Yet, there are more (un)American Indians today than ever before. They run entire nations. 

And btw, flying cars do exist. I´ve seen them on the evening news. 

So what´s the problem really? 

Parakeet friday

Rose-ringed parakeets, sacred to Hindu Tantric goddess Tripura Sundari, on the run somewhere in Germany?!
