Smart People Getting Out

A bit ironic, innit?

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

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.

QOTD: Lest You Ignoramuses Forget

A reminder of one of the eternal states of the nation, from Politicalprof:

“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

The entire essay.

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.

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.

Story of my fucking life. You fucking people & your non-stop bullshit have drained the life from me.

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!

Death from above.

KILL FOR PEACE!, as we used to say.

Made It To Saturday!

After enduring yet another interminable wk. of stultifying boredom & unspeakable horror. Not that wknds. mean a damn thing to me, other than as a vague marker of time.

Some all-time classics on this."That should hold the little bastards." Not even 'phoning it in, telegraphing it. Sending it by drum, really.

DEBUNKED: Why This Pro-Israel NYT Columnist Is WRONG About Gaza by Mehdi Hasan

Mehdi brings receipts to rebut Bret Stephens’s viral argument and explains why Israel is undeniably committing genocide in Gaza.

Please stop typing "brings receipts" or whatever. It's stupid. Call them the facts, or the truth. Thank you. Also: Expected to embed the video, not a link to it! Want those clicks, don't you?

In Memoriam, Zombie Rotten McDonald

This is terribly sad. Zombie Rotten was a long-time close iNternet acquaintance, whom I knew from Sadly, No!, & elsewhere on the web. Can't find his blog, which may have gone the way of all things.

Tengrain's better at these painful events, & he's remembered Zombie Rotten well.

Extra suck: I usually enjoy outliving people, but not this time. Zombie (legal name, Brain L. Miller) was a mere 64, & died of a fall at home, of all things. Watch yourselves, people! And a mensch in meatspace, judging from the memorial page.

Still remember Lucy, the Leaky-Ass Dog, whom he often mentioned.

Tucker's Ten Points

Lest we forget:Remember, these chump weirdoes were all 100% behind Trump, who could do no wrong. Excellent judges of character.

 Zachary Basu / Axios:
Tucker Carlson unveils 10-point manifesto amid third-party speculation … - Fair: The same rules should apply to presidents, federal agents and elites such as Jeffrey Epstein, whose impunity Carlson cast as emblematic of an “Epstein class” enriching itself through a corrupt system.

David Gilbert / Wired:   MAGA Is In Turmoil Over Tucker Carlson's Possible 2028 Presidential Bid

Benjamin Lindsay / The Wrap:   Tucker Carlson on the 2028 Presidential Ballot Would ‘Doom’ the Republican Party, Mark Halperin Says

Just what we need: Another tee vee "personality"/podcaster/egomaniac/sniveling little weasel running the country into the ground. Whaddya say we get an actual skilled politician (i.e., a Democrat) into the Executive Mansion for the next infinity & beyond. A Commie socialist, even.

History Surfaces In Danube

"Shithole Nation" Indeed

Physician, Heal Thyself

Political Wire shares:

“When you start eating healthy, you don’t need toilet paper. Animals in the wild have no residual stool on their anus… I could have a bowel movement behind a sheet at a dinner party in the corner of the room and nobody would know.”

— Dr. Sean O’Mara, whose dietary recommendations have been embraced by JD Vance, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Howard Lutnick and Sean Duffy, quoted by the New York Times Magazine.

So this "doctor" spends a lot of time contemplating evacuating "behind a sheet at a dinner party in the corner of the room"? Good to know. The Irish really are total sick-o morons, aren't they?

And not quite, Nature Boy:Like any right-winger's mouth, sprays shit 24/7.

Out Of Uniform

I can't even. You know who the two flanking Gen. Lumpy are supposed to be? Patton & MacArthur, two other fascist wanna-bes w/ delusions of grandeur. Hah! "Mac" looks a bit like Brainworm Kennedy. "Patton" doesn't look like himself. Who makes this slop? Does General No-Hat (Part of the uniform, must be worn outside.) scroll the iNternet looking for it? Does he have flunkies serching for stupid? Will the Dep't. of "WAR" notice & say anything? Can someone be sued for generating a crummy AI image of someone else? I s'pose it's free speech, like an editorial cartoon.

The uniforms themselves may be correct; they're pretty generic, but none of the insignia, ribbons, shoulderboards, ranks or Gen. Lumpy's wings or medal are anything the United States Army has ever used. The things on their lapels, "Patton's" red epaulettes or "MacArthur's" cap device, for example. Not sure why George S. is sporting combat suspenders either. The Daily Bleat adds:

Trump’s fantasy image places him above Patton and MacArthur in the military hierarchy, showing him with four stars while the legendary generals wear two. In reality, MacArthur was a five-star general—one of only five Americans to attain that rank—while Patton was a four-star general.

Not to glorify these two, but here's the actual George Patton, in four-star uniform.

And MacArthur, who smoked a corncob pipe, w/ his five stars.

Note also that both get Fat Boy's jowly chin, but jowlier, in the AI.

Can't Beat The Heat

Hell on earth for corporate profit. Burn it all, baby!!

I leave nothing & no one, & therefore have no interest in the future of anything.
Nihilism now, nihilism forever! Burn baby burn!!

Was Waiting For This

It's happened before, here, in Florida, or both.

Someone could try the old exploding golf ball trick, but w/ nitroglycerin or the like. Mustard gas?

Authorities arrested a man with ammo and apparently monitoring security at Trump golf course near LA

Just wish someone who actually could carry it off would. Further poop, if not all of it, from the LASD release. One could even look at memeorandum if one really gave a crap.

The Future Is Now!

Time To Shell Out!

Shame!

"Where's Your Gawd Now, Moses?"

The Shame of the American Jewish Establishment

In its quest to defend Israel, establishment Jewry has abandoned liberal democracy in the US.

Now that the self-described Chosen People seem to have dropped the ball, we need democratic socialism more than ever.

More than a decade later, Greenblatt still leads the ADL. But when the Supreme Court this April gutted the Voting Rights Act for which King and Epstein marched, the organization said nothing. The ADL webpage about Epstein’s activities in Selma—which Greenblatt’s essay once linked to—has been taken down, along with much of the organization’s other material about civil rights.

The ADL is not the only American Jewish organization that has lost interest in whether Black Americans fully possess the right to vote. The American Jewish Committee has also turned away from its civil rights past. In 1965, the organization asked its staff to march in Selma. “Our responsibility to the Negro,” declared the AJC’s president the previous year, “is really no more or less than our responsibility to ourselves.” Yet when the Supreme Court this spring enabled Republicans to gerrymander away most Black congressional representation in the South, the AJC was silent too. (Both the ADL and AJC failed to respond to repeated requests for interviews as well as a request for comment).

Goes on to offer a fascinating & disturbing history of devolution.

Monday's Misery

Two words: Dry heaves.

Will be geting a mail order for the rent as the moron property managers can not or will not fix their online payment system, so I will be hand-delivering the money order directly to their office, in a package filled w/ TNT & hate! Death to the parasites that prey upon the people ME!! As they are parasites, I've also contemplated spraying a can of Instant Insect Death® down every last one of their throats & watching them spasm & die. Bastards. No jury could convict me.

Too Much Wiring

Previously on Web of Evil (& Ennui) we found something of possible railroading use.

Not, however, useful for small structures. Wires too damn long.

And not as bright as I thought when I first removed the Xmas bulbs.

Thinking it will work inside a larger two-story bldg., for example:

Yup. Took it apart, & as I suspected, the other end needn't be connected to the battery, or even to itself, which I s'pose means more LEDs could be added. Powered by two C1220 "3v LITHIUM CELL"s, which allegedly last from 3-10 yrs., 20 for US$7.99 at Mall★Wart. Note black splice: Cut it when removing the base, but was able to put it back together. Sad as it is, I'm quite proud of myself.

Uh oh. Hot spots. Good job w/ the thin plastic, Walthers®. No, the lights aren't bright enough, & should be '50s-style yellow, not fluorescent-appearing.

And of course I'm not the first to have the idea, but Evan Designs didn't show when I made an unspecific search.

Riddle Me This!

What is it about your species that makes me repeat my mantra, "I will slit your fucking throat", virtually every day upon awakening? (Could be the non-stop bullshit, lies & cheating.) Nothing wrong w/ me; the trouble must be on your side of the equation. Like Brainworm Bobby Jr. here, a veritable piece of human waste & roadkill, who is beyond disturbed.

Frankly, I'm so sick & tired of the non-stop bullshit, lies & cheating my fingers are crossed hoping that your world of shit & pain does have another mass death event. And soon.Ten Deadliest Viruses.

They are lying-in-wait for you.

Probably Not

Sudden thought while looking at the rolling stock on the flex-track: I could make a yard here.

The space might not work, however, & I'd only have to "invest" a couple of hundred dollars (minimum) in turn-outs,
so nagonna happen.
