Charlie Kirk got ded, Erika Kirk grifts in place
Nicki Minaj. Folks that moron is part of why we get in situations like this. She couldn’t count to potato, but there she is grifting right alongside our Secretary of Grifting. Nuke the whole apparatus. I am so sick of all these them. A bunch of uneducated clowns getting the poor in spirit and money to go along with messages like that.

2025 Hawai'i Bowl - California vs. Hawai'i
I won’t miss the last game on the island for 2025. I’m a lefty so getting to watch two Freshman southpaws, both of which are Hawaiians, is a great way to spend the afternoon. Neither team care one iota about running the football either nor should they in a bowl game. I have 364 other days to enjoy the beach here. I’ll go take my customary spot standing on the sideline. I think the Bows are going to be on the visiting bench today so I’ll get to listen to their coaches and players for the first time.

They sink so fast you wouldn’t believe it. Sailors from some canal battle couldn’t believe how fast they go to the botttom.

Trump’s America
So when he does it anyway does everyone just throw their hands in the air and say “well he’s the boss so let’s head out to Illinois!”

Jeffrey Epstein needs his own thread
Outside of the United States it is what people talk about. I meet people from all over the world and anytime TFG’s name comes up they just assume he’s a pedophile and ask why he is not in prison for what he did.

Avatar: Fire and Ash
Watched it in IMAX 3D. Had to go back for the last hour and a half today because my eye has a cut on it and I could take about two hours exposed to light before it was too much. There are some scenes that were a bit long and the movie could’ve been a bit shorter, but those are trivial complaints. Watching it in that format is just incredible. If my eye wasn’t so irritated right now I’d go and watch it again this week. I love all the attention to detail put into the movie and Inam glad James Cameron has spent the time on the Avatar films that he has. When you care that much about a project and put in the work he and his team have you get beautiful work like this.

Trump’s America
I got through about five minutes of it earlier. That was more than enough to make me dislike these people even more. Nothing but racist white trash at all levels of our government that deserves all of this in return when they have to one day answer for this.

Calling them savages without calling them savages.

Trump’s America
I am aware of their history and when they fought it didn’t go on continuously like Europe because kings and queens treated war like a sport all the way into the 20th Century. The Pacific Peoples are more interesting and still treated each other better than the people that populated Europe, even in war footing time. The only thing they don’t have that the barbarians in Europe do is an extensive written history noting all the wars they fought on that continent.
-
Trump’s America
Sometimes I wish I could find an interest in European history outside of my dad’s home country, but I always conclude it’s not worth the effort so I stick with learning about Pacific Peoples instead. Far more interesting to me at least and these people got along with each other better most of the time and thrived in some of the most remote places on the planet until white people showed up.

The Lost Generation essay
This right here is something every single person should look at that blames minorities for their economic life being in shambles. It would take a massive societal upheaval to get equality for everyone in how we all live, but this is where you start. That we have people hoarding unconscionable amounts money that should be in circulation for everyone just really strikes a nerve with me. Even right now trying to type out my thoughts on that picture really overwhelms me. I don’t know who the person or group will be that finally breaks this down and takes back the money that all Americans should have access to in the form of better pay or even programs to help people attain a better education, but I’ll support them. The amount of good paying jobs that could be created for people with that hoarded money would go a long way towards our society finding some middle ground. It’s all so pointless and ridiculous that we’re going into the year 2026 and we’ve still got a set of ghouls like the person in the center of the picture doing that to everyone.

Jeffrey Epstein needs his own thread
Roth would be the guy to read and listen to here. He’s far and away the best political writer we have in America. Not even a close 2nd to his work. I asked him a similar question to this at one of Defector’s birthday parties about how he understands this stuff so well and the answer more/less was rich people are lazy.

The Lost Generation essay
I’ll gladly admit that this is not an area I am as well-versed in as others. I’ll gladly listen to others on this and what they think because the economics that undergird a society is always a complex issue. I think this is especially true in a country as multicultural as ours. We have had a dominant race economically (whites) since our inception. Now we HAVE to share that pie. I am in favor of that. We all live once and we should, for the sake of wanting a thriving multicultural society, want to see the wealth spread. Everyone benefits from that. We are hurting as a society monetarily because we have a small percentage hoarding wealth while many of the rest of us are left to fight over scraps. It’s ridiculous on its face that the wealthiest country in the history of the world has so many people either already living in poverty or just a missed check away from the poorhouse. To me this is a sign of when a society will lose its moorings if things do not change. You cannot have a small class of people worth hundreds of millions to several hundred billion and expect that society to be thriving. This should be a shared concern for everyone. I feel the angst needs to be directed there because that old quote comes to mind of a house divided against itself cannot stand. This doesn’t mean I support disenfranchised white men vs. minorities looking for their fair share of the pie. We all, college educated or not, need to look at the cartoon villains holding all the money tha holds our society back from realizing its promise of having an actual American dream instead of the nightmare it has become for millions of people. That sucks to me because we get this one chance at life and a small group of folks want the super majority of it for themselves. We can do better I think.

The Lost Generation essay
Feels like a good place to start would be the ultra-wealthy class that has accumulated money to the point where most of the population, college educated or not, are fighting for a smaller and smaller economic pie. That part of the equation never seems to change.

I love Defector. Not just for recaps like that, but overall. Best site I read each day.

Melania Trump -- Not a Fan of Christmas
She’s trash just like the rest of them. Has a voice like a B movie cartoon villain and has the intellectual abilities of, well, she’s right there with TFG so it’s not much. Anyone who ever feels bad for her needs to remember she signed up for this. I hope when this ends that she gets deported to Slovenia and that they deny her entry. Spend your life in a North Korean prison camp you worthless thief.

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
I want to get these for my niece and nephew to wear next year. It will mean nothing to them at their age of 7 and 4 next year, but I still will get it and have them take a picture with their Grannie. Think I will get her a shirt I’ve had before. You serious Clark? I say that every single time someone says something ridiculous to me.

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
That rant was probably the highlight from when I saw him in 2023 in New Jersey. I want to say I was down in Newark at a really big theatre. I remember it was really nice. Like you I remember how cool it was watching the movie with a large audience. Good memories and thank you for sharing your experience.

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
This is my favorite Christmas movie. She’s also in my 2nd favorite one, Violent Night. She was pretty humorous in that one as well.

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
That fall in Buffalo in 2023 might have been worse than he let on. Either way it’s cool you were able to see him while he can still get out there. The movie just never gets old.

I would guess you’ll be hitting up the portal if the roster is this mismatched.
