A Serious Question

Something is off. Something is in the air. Something just ain’t right.

I’ve asked several people (both online and in person) if life seems more than just a bit off lately. I don’t specially mean the dystopian worldwide political hellscape that’s permeating every aspect of our lives, but just life in general. I look around and think, “This isn’t the way this is supposed to be. It’s all wrong.” It’s like an old episode of The Twilight Zone where the protagonist is the only one who knows something ‘s wrong, or in more contemporary terms, it feels like The Matrix is continually glitching. Frankly at this point I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if the proverbial flying saucer appears and lands on the White House lawn. I mean it’s about the only thing that hasn’t happened.

But at the same time, I don’t have an overreaching feeling of dread for the future (unless I spend too much time doomscrolling), but rather—and even when I do go doomscrolling—a feeling that everything’s still going to be all right. And it’s not years away…it’s right around the corner. Something is going to happen to put an end to this madness and wake us from this horrible nightmare.

Listen…Felon45 does not have nearly the power or influence he and his handlers would have us believe. Now that he’s tanked the economy he’s losing his own followers. Look at how many times he’s been swatted down by the courts since he took office. And despite his wet dream of disbanding the courts or upending Habeas Corpus, it’s not going to happen. He’s a sad, weak, dementia-ridden old man who’s obviously suffered at least one stroke, increasingly can’t get his words out, and still somehow dreams of being the next Hitler—but is in actuality just a couple Big Macs away from ridding the planet of his presence completely. And in any case he is not the source of this overall—”offness” I’m feeling. He is merely a symptom.

But what about you guys? What are you sensing?

I Know I’ve Posted This Before…

…and I hate to ruin a good wank pic for ya (because it initially pushed all my buttons in a good way for obvious reasons), but the more I look at it, the more weirdness pops out.

I’m not saying the whole thing was AI generated, but there was certainly Photoshop style AI fill used. I mean, look at the background. Look at his hand. What is that shit? And the way the painting/photo on the wall curves down under his armpit? And what is all that crap immediately under his pit that extends to his thigh? There was either something else there at one point, and whoever removed it really wasn’t paying attention to what was generated or the whole thing is generated and whoever posted it figured it was good enough…because it’s just fucking weird.

SMDH

One of the newly-renovated elevators in the parking garage at work. Out of service for the past four months, and this is what we get greeted with when it went back in service a couple weeks ago. I just want to know who the braintrust was that selected white rubber tile for the floor.

Ben said, “It was on sale.”

I Can Understand the Resurgence of Vinyl…

…but cassettes are making a comeback? Seriously?

WHY?!

I was chatting with my buddy Ken a couple weeks ago, discussing our audio equipment, and he asked, “What cassette deck do you have these days?”

I told him I didn’t have a cassette deck—and in fact hadn’t owned one for nearly 20 years. He was flabbergasted, just couldn’t comprehend how I didn’t have one…

And While We’re On the Subject of Batshit Crazy…

Again, from Comic Sans:

MAGA ‘Prophet’ Warns Of Technologically Advanced ‘Mermaids And Water People’ In Bonkers Speech

Amanda Grace suggested ‘hand to hand combat’ with these supposed ‘mermaids’ who are spreading ‘wickedness’ at a far-right ReAwaken America event at Trump’s Doral Hotel in Miami.

In a bizarre and bewildering display of rhetoric, a speaker at a right-wing conference hosted by one of Trump’s properties embarked on an unhinged rant, delving into the realm of highly technological mermaids and water people spreading “wickedness” throughout society.

The peculiar diatribe was delivered by self-proclaimed “Prophet” Amanda Grace during the ReAwaken America event, which attracted a gathering of American far-right and Christian nationalist attendees at the Trump National Doral Hotel in Miami.

You can hear what she said in the video below.

Grace said:

“I have never seen more images of mermaids and water people in my life. That’s a division in the kingdom of darkness and they’re highly technologically advanced.”

“And we have to understand what we’re dealing with. And we have to understand the rules of engagement in spiritual warfare. And we are meant for hand-to-hand combat.”

“Darkness has completely eclipsed the White House of this nation.”

Predictably, the outlandish nature of Grace’s remarks triggered a flurry of confusion, mockery, and the proliferation of memes across various online platforms.

The combination of the highly unusual subject matter, coupled with the passionate delivery, contributed to the audience’s bewilderment and subsequent online ridicule.

 

Grace is far from the only self-proclaimed religious “prophet” to align themselves with the MAGA movement.

Last year, author and commentator Rachel Hamm—who at the time was vying to become California’s next Secretary of State—claimed that her decision to run for office was predicated on her son’s miraculous experience meeting Jesus Christ in a closet with a scroll.

Similarly, Julie Green—who runs the Evangelical Julie Green Ministries—has claimed more than once that God will “bring back” former President Donald Trump to the White House without the need for an actual election.

As of this writing, Green’s prediction has yet to come to pass.
