Celebrating the cosmic comedy of Jimmy Swaggart's exit by cranking Zappa’s "Jesus Thinks You’re a Jerk."

The televangelist grift dies as satire lives on - righteous riffs for a fallen fraud.

Play it loud.

Let the hypocrisy rot.

History Is a Sex Crime

They fucked the future raw and called it tradition

Every monument is a bruise pretending to be noble

Power doesn't age.
It sheds guilt like dead skin and keeps the hunger

If you feel dirty reading the past, good

That's your body remembering what the textbooks cleaned up

Word prompt: #Epistemology

Epistemology is a crime scene.

Truth isn't discovered clean.
It's reconstructed from scars, contradictions, and contaminated memories.

Certainty is what survives the blast radius.

Knowledge never arrives innocent,
it crawls out bleeding, asking sharper questions.

The richest people in the world and their 'accomplishments'

Elon Musk - His dad had an emerald mine
Mark Zuckerberg - Stole his website from his roommate
Jeff Bezos - Realized he could sell stuff from a warehouse.

Do they really deserve to be stupidly, ridiculously rich?

; suppressed trauma expressed to

the world; tangible pain carved

into my skin; my body

a canvas; protruding bones

voice an internal scream - a

visible cry for help, unheard;

a void of echoing silence.

New Yorker magazine film critic Pauline Kael called John Travolta and Nancy Allen "radiant" in this tale of an audio technician who accidentally records evidence of an assassination conspiracy. Director Brian De Palma proves himself a visionary. "Blow Out" (1981) #neonoir

I'll say the quiet part plainly: the progressive left needs political self-determination.

A blue-state coalition that governs coherently instead of negotiating with permanent sabotage.

How To Destroy Angels in 3 easy steps:

1. Replace sacred time with causal time.

2. Expose the power structures hiding behind their halos.

3. Ask what they would be without permission.

I learned my ethics from Aristotle, Schopenhauer, Frank Zappa, and The Rockford Files.

You learned yours from 7th Heaven, Duck Dynasty, Fox News, and megachurch acoustics.

I don't think there's a neutral zone where we shake hands.

I'd honestly love a fashion makeover from my celebrity crush, Stacy London.

I'm aiming for a Hegelian-after-post-punk Jim Rockford - thesis, antithesis, sport coat.

Gnosis Of Tension Held

The Universe is tension held long enough to impersonate objects.

Hardness is merely persistence rehearsed.

Matter is the bruise where mind clenched.

Touch anything and I feel the Sophianic pulse beneath it.

Nietzsche's "sounding brass" is reactive power pretending to be strength.

It's hysterical volume without creation, critique without a counter-value.

MAGA is sounding brass politics.

Nietzsche repeatedly warns that when old values die and new ones aren't created, cultures don't become free, they become VULNERABLE.

Nietzsche's GOM is instructive here.

Cult leaders are not anomalies; they are diagnostic instruments of passive nihilism.

They surface wherever the will to meaning survives after the capacity to create meaning has collapsed.

The hunger for meaning remains, but the creative force is gone.
December 16, 2025 at 4:54 PM
Cult leaders don't invent meaning they monetize the ruins of it.

Nihilism doesn't erase belief; it lowers the bar for what counts as revelation.
