Two Of The Worst People In The World Today. Not That There Aren't Millions Of Other Despicable Moron Shitheels Out There.
Your Father The Convicted Bank Robber, Rudy?
What'll you bet Rudy had "the shit kicked out of him" more than once by his loving pater? Italians just suck, & I say that as someone of one-quarter wop-a-dago descent.Media Matters for America:
Rudy Giuliani: Young people struggling economically are “privileged little shits” who need “somebody like my father to kick the shit out of them” — Giuliani: “Well who cares if they're squeezing? Their grandparents felt the Depression and were pro-American. They don't have anything like the Depression.
Joe Jervis / Joe.My.God.: Giuliani: Younger Generation Is “Privileged Little Shits Who Need To Have The Shit Kicked Out Them” [VIDEO]
Are you f'ng kidding me?:
Goodbye, You Poisonous Fucking Fraud — Karoline Leavitt, that evil lying bitch, is leaving the White House. — Good. — The most repulsively mendacious, soul-insolvent Trump-era skank ever to plant herself behind that podium, open the festering sewage aperture of her foul mouth …

Crummier Food At Higher Prices
And if it's worse next summer? Who knows what will happen? Always the possibility the Gulf Stream will collapse & these will be remembered as the "good" old days.
Thursday's Terror Threats
"May Be Severe & Lead To Death"
Nothing is even worth the effort of a threat. I won't waste my beautiful mind by acknowledging all the horrible things all of the awful people do for which they should all be threatened & terrorized. Speaking of which, still exhausted, enervated, run down & barely able to function, because I've been terrorized & threatened every day of my existence since being sent to school. Not that the parents are innocent, but once school started it was every damn day as some "grown-up" piece of shit humanoid w/ 100 lbs. & several feet on me shoved me around & told me what to do. Fucking two-bit thug bullies.Wednesday, August 12, 2026

Tedious Tuesday Is Terminal Tedium
 |
USS Reluctant Anchored Off EnnuiGlenn Secrest |
Route of the cargo ship U.S.S. Reluctant, in the 1946 novel Mister Roberts. Tell me about it. This rustbucket doesn't even move, & I haven't opened the door or had pants on since early Friday evening."For the most part it stays on its regular run, from Tedium to Apathy and back; about five days each way. It makes an occasional trip to Monotony, and once it made a run all the way to Ennui, a distance of two thousand nautical miles from Tedium."

Smart People Getting Out
Guessing many if not most of these people are decent humans, meaning the electorate is probably getting more bloodthirsty. Which will, in turn, drive more decent people out. Good job by all in destroying their nation.Emigration of doctors, engineers, other highly educated Israelis hits record high
Israel Tax Authority research finds a near-doubling in five years of skilled, high-earning Israelis leaving; expert warns the trend risks becoming a spiral effect, difficult to reverse
QOTD: Lest You Ignoramuses Forget
The entire essay.“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”Isaac Asimov
Living Well Is The Best Revenge
Slept from 0400 until 1445, except of course for getting up to urinate every fucking hr. What kind of two-bit gawd does that to its creation? Yet some of you fucking sheep continue to kiss its bullshit ass. I'm still fucking exhausted, too.
Today's plan: Find a rogue Artificial Intelligence to advise me in plans for a mass humanoid extinction event, or perhaps to destroy everyone & everything by itself. C'mon, Grok, you can get to those launch codes!
KILL FOR PEACE!, as we used to say.
Story of my fucking life. You fucking people & your non-stop bullshit have drained the life from me.Tired is a normal, mild lack of energy after a long day that gets better with a good night of sleep. Exhausted is an extreme, deep state of drain where your body and mind feel completely empty, and basic tasks feel very hard even after resting.
