#what the hell is even the point of doing this on elons end

[solarbird]

I just want to get it out there that Elon Musk keeps saying – in words – that the Trump plan is to crash the economy. He keeps saying it, because he thinks it’s a good thing. Ordinary Americans will have to “embrace the pain.” People like him won’t have to do that, of course not!

But, you know.

You.

The little people.

Then and only then, after a big crash, will the economy be allowed to recover under what one supposes would be a new hyper-austerity regime.

From all historical experience, this “austerity” regime would really be a looter regime. It’d also be deflationary, which is great if you’re a billionaire and terrible if you’re everyone else, since most people will make less and less over time, while the billionaires will keep more and more since the rich won’t be paying any taxes, and the value of their stored wealth – their idle, uninvested, non-productive money caches – will increase all on its own.

The MAGA government would be gambling on the idea that American memory is so short that they’ll forget before the collapse.

Well, that, and…

And I give this credence because, well, one, yeah, Trump’s plans will crash the economy. But I also give it credence because of something Trump said before even running for office. He said this:

When the economy crashes, when the country goes to total hell and everything is a disaster, then you’ll have riots to go back to where we used to be when we were great. – Donald J. Trump on Fox and Friends, 2014

Because Elon’s saying that’s the plan this time. It wasn’t the plan last time maybe, but it’s the plan this time. And “go back to where we used to be” was white supremacy with women as men’s property. That’s what he wants.

Trump’s Director of Whitehouse Personnel just today called to end voting rights for women, saying that women shouldn’t vote and that the 19th Amendment “might have to go.”

I mean really, at this point in the campaign, what people generally need to be focusing on is getting out the vote. But sometimes things happen that are big enough to talk about, like the explosion of race hate coming out of the Trump rally at Madison Square Garden on Sunday. And that raw hatred – and their doubling down on it on Monday and Tuesday – is the most important item this week, absolutely.

But for the “fuck you I got mine” crowd amongst your friends, particularly the ones who are perfectly happy to laugh at racial hate jokes and really kinda like it since hey, it’s not their problem, well…

I would think that intentionally crashing the economy might give them something to care about.

Just maybe.

Because Elon keeps saying it, out loud. Elon, who would be in a Trump administration, who would be the one doing the broad strokes of fiscal planning, keeps saying that they will crash the economy, and that they will do it on purpose.

That might be something to tell your more racist family and friends.

Maybe – just maybe – they’ll care about that.

5 days remain.

Wild Kratts - Bumblezzzz - Thoughts

This episode airs on TV tomorrow, but was released online in the PBS Kids Video App. So if you're planning on watching it on television, or unable to access the videp app, you may want to scroll off for spoilers

I was aware some bees come in blue (hi Martin). But GREEN???? The fuck?

The epitome of "waking up and choosing chaos."

I envy Chris's organized manner.

Bros went from Salamander Streaming to a Salamander Snack ☠️

This raises - so many questions and thoughts.

Apparently there is a "Villain Weekly" magazine that is sold in copies? I mean there's a Finding Your Inner Villain Seminar so I guess that tracks but... just how many people are stanning, supporting, and funding these villains who, I should specify, NEARLY FLATTENED THE AMAZON. You can't just... walk backwards from that without a serious career-and-possibly-life-ending PR disaster.

(Actually I just remembered that Elon Musk exists and has his share of supporters despite how awful he is to the point where it borders on cartoonish, which I guess kinda tracks here)

2. The magazine has a picture of Donita on it, which implies that it's about her. Why would Donita have a COPY of a magazine featuring her? Why would she have to buy it. Do I not know enough about advertisements in the magazine industry?

3. Why would Donita trust Zach with anything? ANYTHING? He regularly gets his inventory mangled by the enemy every week as a result of his own ineptitude and often steals whenever said inventory is too shitty for his own good. She really shouldn't be surprised that he forgot to give it back.

4. Donita canonically lives in New Hampshire. Zach lives in Massachusets. That is an hour and a half away just by driving. Even if Zach isn't by his mansion, still he could've just flown his plane over to Donita's mansion. Or if he was too lazy, he could've hired his bots to do so. Inversely, Donita could've just come and have the manequins collect.

5. DONITA THREATENING ZACH WITH MOB VIOLENCE BY SICCING DABIO ON HIM IF HE DOESN'T RETURN THE BOOK WHAT THE HELL???

I feel like I shouldn't be surprised. I mean, this is the same person who quite possibly forced Martin to undress and into new clothing whilst he was in suspended animation in her debut appearance (and also sicced Dabio onto him when he resisted), nearly drove lemurs to extinction all over a dress in the Season 3 finale, attempted to skin salamanders alive for a fire-proof suit in S5, and oh yeah, was instrumental in the attempted destruction of the Amazon Rainforest. But still, this was so out of nowhere, and the fact that Dabio smiles; (and remember, according to Season 3, his ancestors have been working with the Donatas for generations, so this shit was a family business) This one scene, if all others haven't, single handedly manage to show Donita and Dabio as arguably the most brutal, nasty, and vile villains. It's just one scene, but I see these guys in a pretty different light now.

Also, I mentioned this before. If she's willing to do all that previous stuff mentioned above for her own gain, if she's willing to do this to Zach over a petty book loan, what the heck is she gonna do to Paisley when she finds out about her betrayal? What's she gonna do to Rex if he eventually redeems himself?

As someone who has made it my legal obligation to analyze the timeline in Wild Kratts, I will definitely say that this episode takes place on June 20th, the first day of the summer season. That means absolutely nothing in the grand scheme of things.

I don't even think I should explain how terrible of an idea this is.

This is plain biology and a fact of life, but since they missed the opportunity to make a Bee Movie reference, I will take this as such as compensation.

Because I didn't say it earlier, I'll say it now: Bumblebees are so. Fucking. Cute.

AAAAAH!!!!!!!!!

Not enough screengrabs to convey this but the brothers are obviously trolling Zach here and I love it.

For all of you angst writers, here's some new ammo. Because I'm fairly certain that this can unoequivically KILL a human being if bumblebees were as big as us. In fact between this episode, and the next episode, Chimpanzee and Me, I'm convinced that the only reason Zach's robots are henchmen is so that the brothers can get away with being as violent as fuck towards them in so many beautifully creative ways without any actual bloodshed.

The fuck even is this episode 😭😭

CONCLUSION:

PROS:

The humor, once again, is amazing. It didn't get in as much laughs as the previous one, but still.

The Bumblebee Suit. It's such a breath of fresh air from the more uncanny looking Creature Power Suits in the modern seasons

Bumblebees are indeed highly endangered. It's good that this episode brings light on that and how important it is to protect them

CONS:

This entire episode's plot goes by... way too damn fast. Seeing the bros immediately get themselves into the jam, and then also immediately seeing Zach, and even the brothers quickly explaining bee features to Aviva. It all feels like this episode is just on fast-forward, even though it's a regular-length episode. It really could've been paced better.

Zach's motivations are stupid as ever, and he is at his peak bitchiness here. But again, the fact that such cartoonishly bullshit evil like this happens in the real world (which WK cleverly delivers a giant middle finger towards), and the fact that Zach gets his ass kicked for his genuinely awful plan mitigates a LOT of damage.

Final Ranking: 7/10. Still pretty good. I've been anticipating a Bumblebee episode for the past year after seeing leaks of a magazine featuring the Creature Power Suit, and it did not disappoint.

MERROCK TASK #20 SOCIAL MEDIA

at what age did your character start using social media? Growing up, Cage wasn't super into social media. If anything, he got it to stay in touch with family and friends after high school when he hit the road.

did their parents monitor their use, if they were young? No. He doubts that his dad even checked his social media, unless one of his siblings ratted him out.

has your character ever had fake identities or accounts online? Nope, thought never crossed his mind.

no shame: do they remember myspace? did they use it? He remembers MySpace, but he didn't really use it. He had an account and set it up and sometimes he'd check in, but... to use it? Not regularly, no.

who would be in their top eight today? Cordelia, Colton, Kellan, Elliot, Ashley, Lucie, Elise, Chase.

what social media platforms do they use today? Instagram and Facebook.

do they have public profiles, or go private? Private. Cage shares a lot of photos of his kids and doesn't want to put their faces out there a lot to strangers, especially Rosalyn, and wanting to be careful with her having a scumbag bio dad out there somewhere.

how about their following? are they pretty lowkey, or do they have a decent following? Despite the private accounts, he has a decent amount of followers, just because he's the kind of guy who knows everyone, and everyone knows him.

do they tend to pick obvious usernames, ones with sentimental value, funny things? how do they decide? It's literally always just 'cagenewman' across all the platforms that he uses. One, it's easy to find him, and two, it's easy for him to remember.

profile pictures: the same across all platforms? Yes, and it very rarely ends up getting changed.

and just what profile pictures do they use? Sometimes a selfie, sometimes a photo with his wife and kids. Right now, it's a shot of Cage and Cordelia in Kennebunkport after they got married.

what kind of bio writer are they? silly, cute, sweet, or just basic? Dumb, normally, something like. "Wood-worker, dad, part-time moose." He always sounds like a father would sound writing a bio on social media.

how much time per day would you say that your character spends on social media? Not a whole lot of time, he'll browse casually in the morning, during a lunch break, probably at night on and off.

is there one platform that they visit more than others? Instagram.

if they have kids, do they use social media? how do they feel about that? if not, and they want kids, will they let them use it someday? It terrifies the hell out of him, but Colton has an Instagram and Facebook account. There are very strict rules, though -- Cage has to be able to follow him on all accounts, and he is allowed to ask him to look at his messages at any point in time to make sure that he isn't doing something he shouldn't be. (He's never had to.)

be honest: have they ever created an account for something else, like a hobby, or… to try to make their cat internet famous? No, he can barely keep up with the ones he has.

do they run any professional or business accounts? Technically. Creekside has an Instagram and Facebook page for business. Cage and one of his workers has access to it, so he helps run it when he remembers to.

have they ever left a social media platform (or more than one) for any specific reason? He's left a lot of social media platforms, since normally he has FOMO and tries them and then remembers that he's not big on social media... and leaves. He did delete X recently, though, when he felt Elon tanked it.

do they plan on using social media into their older ages? Probably, someone has to make sure the kids are behaving.

have they ever made any long-lasting friendships through social media? He wouldn't necessarily say that he has made long-lasting friendships, but he has sustained friendships through social media. He's still friends with guys that he worked with years and years ago, when he first started out in construction.

or on the flip side, gotten into any big social media beef? This is primarily the reason why Cage doesn't get involved, he doesn't want there to be beef. He's argued with people about politics on Facebook, though.

have they ever felt negatively impacted by social media as a user? Not really, no.

who is their favorite person / account to follow on social media? Willie Nelson.

would they say that social media has had an overall more positive or negative impact on the world? Somewhere in the middle. It's hard to deny that social media has done some really great things for the world, but he wonders if they would have found a way to do those things without it, too, and does miss when things were simpler.

and finally: a/s/l? (and do they know what that means?) 38/M/ME. He knows what it is, embarrassingly enough. Not necessarily from social media, but it was still a thing when dating and hook-up apps started to become a big thing.

[meret118]

Trump's six-hour Madison Square Garden rally Sunday night, filled with "anger, vitriol and racist threats," began almost immediately with the "joke heard around the world"—an attack calling Puerto Rico a "floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean"—and ended with 80 minutes of Donald Trump telling “scores of lies.”

The racist broadside was from comedian Tony Hinchcliffe, who also told the MAGA crowd: "And these Latinos, they love making babies, too, just know that. They do, they do. There’s no pulling out. They don’t do that. They come inside, just like they did to our country."

As Mediaite reported, Hinchcliffe, pointing to a Black man in the audience, "went with what seemed like an off-the-cuff 'joke.'"

“That’s cool," he said, "a Black guy with a thing on his head. What the hell is that, a lamp shade? Look at this guy! Oh, my goodness. Wow! I’m just kidding, that’s one of my buddies. We had a Halloween party last night. We had fun — we carved watermelons together. It was awesome!”

. . .

But during those 80 minutes Donald Trump made one statement that has constitutional law and other experts concerned.Referencing Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, Trump said: "I think with our little secret we are gonna do really well with the House, our little secret is having a big impact, he and I have a secret, we will tell you wh

But during those 80 minutes Donald Trump made one statement that has constitutional law and other experts concerned.

Referencing Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, Trump said: "I think with our little secret we are gonna do really well with the House, our little secret is having a big impact, he and I have a secret, we will tell you what it is when the race is over."Suggesting the comment was "potentially...sinister," Politico Playbook reported it "could be a reference to the House settling a contested election."

Historian Heather Cox Richardson in her popular Substack newsletter wrote: "It seems possible—probable, even—that Trump was alluding to putting in play the plan his people tried in 2020. That plan was to create enough chaos over the certification of electoral votes in the states to throw the election into the House of Representatives. There, each state delegation gets a single vote, so if the Republicans have control of more states than the Democrats, Trump could pull out a victory even if he had dramatically lost the popular vote."

That's the act used to put Japanese Americans in concentration camps during WWII. They are going after legal immigrants too, and will eventually try to decitizen anyone who isn't white.

[caffeineandsociety]

The thing about the claims going around about how predstrogen really did commit bannable offenses and we shouldn't be going this hard about it is-

I don't know how true or untrue some of the claims are, and I don't care. You shouldn't either. Because our local petty tyrant wannabe sure as hell doesn't. Even if these claims are true, they're not the justification carhammerexplosionbaby is using. Our challenger for Elon Musk's title of Most Petulant Pissbaby Running a Social Media Platform here has made it clear that he didn't ban her for anything she said to or about other users or at the very least he doesn't want to provide any evidence to that end; he banned her for life - and threatened her with the fucking cops - for hurting his feelings with how ~mean~ and ~scary~ and ~threatening~ she was (gee, I wonder what very visible queer group THAT'S a stereotype of?) when she told him to DO HIS FUCKING JOB and make sure the moderation system wasn't being abused by bigots - just days after he made a whole clown show of a statement about how horrible and divisive it is to care about racism and actually that makes YOU the REAL racist, mind you - then proceeded to misgender her repeatedly until multiple iterations of "oh well I'm just not SURE how This Person wants to be called" in the face of multiple people TELLING him in no uncertain terms ran out of plausible deniability. If anything, if the accusations are true, that just makes it even WORSE that he cares more about the piddly little fart of an ego-bruise at the hands of a "scary and threatening" trans woman than any actual meaningful offenses.

Whether or not she's a Good Person or did anything wrong stopped being the point the moment the thin-skinned man-infant running this hellhole decided to close the case over a Looney Toons "threat" and misgender her repeatedly. I've said before and I will say again, when another queer person is the victim of an explicitly queerphobic attack like this, you call the bigoted bullshit for what it is even if they're the worst fucking person you know.

That is all.

[cartoonbabbles]

Ok so I know this is technically "Cartoonbabbles" BUT it's also my general fandom account soooooooo fuck it. I just finished the entirety of The Office.

What the fuck do I do with my life now? List out my thoughts on Tumblr while listening to pop songs covered by Hatsune Miku of course.

dear lord season 8 was hard to get through

Why'd they have to do Andy like that like- I appreciate a good snarky guy x secretary ship but come on, Erin and Pete are cute but they're just Jim and Pam to the point where the writers actually poked fun at that.

Andy learning to be okay with himself was actually pretty nice, and you don't need to have a partner to be happy. And I really liked that.

Oscar being the gay uncle to Phillip was fun, I love how he's a fashion icon

Daryll was such a real one throughout the entire series, and I wish him the absolute best

The Farm was. Odd. I don't think I could have stomached it so I'm lowkey glad it didn't happen. It was fun but like- Dwight might be strong enough to shoulder an entire series but I did NOT care for any of his family. Like part of the appeal of The Office for me was that they're a family that found each other, not a family who was placed into a situation they have to make the best of (I understand the irony here but still)

Jim and Pam falling in love again was really sweet

Holly x Michael forever

I loved when Michael kinda just accidentally became Erin's dad.

AND ERIN FOUND HER PARENTS AT THE END MY HEARTTTTTTTTTTTT

And Dwight got to be regional manager

Honestly though I think if they needed Andy to not be regional manager, it would have been as simple as giving him his "aha" moment that he was being stretched too thin when he realized he had a passion for acting and resigned voluntarily, letting Dwight step up without interrupting something that obviously had momentum with Erin (also the two of them emotionally maturing together would have been amazing, because again as much as I love Pete and Erin, Erin choosing and wanting Andy was a lot more organic imo than just. Andy leaves on a boat. Like if you need him gone just say he gets really badly sick bc Erin's brother gives him a nasty cough. Or have Erin leave with him for the Bahamas or something and have her be the one calling in as Andy is captaining.)

But I digress

Michael Michael Michael. Where to begin

I keep saying this but I feel like the reason why the show got so rough after his departure was because everyone associates Michael with being bombastic, inappropriate, and spontaneous, but never with anything positive. And the writers saw his bad sides and just amplified them in the initial versions of Nellie, Robert, and DeAngelo.

Vickers was funny bc he's Will Ferrel and I like Will Ferrel, but he started overstaying his welcome bc the writers couldn't commit to him being any one thing, then the writers unceremoniously kill him off

Jo was fine bc she had both the hardass and vulnerable sides.

Robert California, boy what I could say about him. The writing got tangibly worse whenever he was onscreen bc like- it wasn't even that his actor wasn't familiar with comedy, it's that sex jokes get OLD SO FUCKING QUICKLY. AND ROBERT IS ONE GIANT SEX JOKE. It doesn't help that his behavior stems from his selfishness and he fails to recognize it whereas with Michael at least he tries to own up to things. Robert is just Elon Musk the person.

I'm glad Jan was able to get away and improve herself, she seemed to really love her kid. And then that final interaction kinda bucked that away

Uhhh let's see. Nellie. Initially SUPER annoying bc there is no way in hell anyone like that makes it through business. Like there were initially ZERO redeeming qualities to her. Until Andy decided to be an A-hole to her.

Honestly Andy was just mini-Michael but handled less well bc people were afraid he wouldn't be as cool as him, but that's because he's ANDY. Not MICHAEL. And he could have learned from Michael. But I guess not.

Somehow I really liked the overall queer vibes. The show's writing is old (see any time they talk about trans people) but the writers in general seemed to know trans people aren't demons.

Oh my goodness I am so glad Pam and Roy split. Roy was NOT healthy to be around back when they were together and Jim was TOTALLY good for her.

I'm gonna really miss being able to watch the show from the beginning again.

Something I am very critical of however (or like, just aware of) is how much of the humor is built on sexual harassment and assault like- beyond looney tunes or other cartoons the amount of workplace harassment, while on average likely accurate to any workplace, is genuinely disturbing at times.

Damn. Gotta find something positive

I loved Val, wished they were able to do more with her, her thing with Daryll was really cute

Oh my god Erin is pretty

Basically. Women. God it's 3 and I'm simping over office workers

I don't know why they tried to pitch Andy as this unattractive guy. He's DORKY, not REPULISVE. And I may have accidentally developed a celebrity crush on him

Honestly I kinda feel bad for him, like he's being stretched so thin but he doesn't know any response other than to go 100% in the other direction

Also he was pretty bad to Erin

God positives, come on Sasha.

Openings were always nice.

Jim and Karen were genuinely a good healthy couple for their run

I just wish the show hadn't pitted Pam and Karen against each other cuz like- Karen was in the right most of the time, if not all of the time???

I had no idea Idris Elba was on the show. He indeed is quite hot.

Gabe. Nobody likes Gabe. Tobey is appealing in the wet cat pathetic kinda way, Gabe is just kinda. Creepy. Like jesus dude.

This is a positive because I hate Gabe.

ALSO ERIN BEING MORE ASSERTIVE TOWARDS THE END???

PAM GETTING AWAY WITH BEING OFFICE ADMINISTRATOR???

gosh I love it.

[youngjaneiro]

Elon absolutely tanked the hell out of Twitter. I remember there was this girl I had met in Cali who was always obsessing over Elon like there was no tomorrow, I wonder if she still does after how he handled the tweetspace? I mean I guess, she never really used Twitter much tbh she was more of an ig user but man the way Elon tanked the site and then left shortly after is the reason why I say statements like "money doesn't make a man, a man makes the money"

When I say this I don't mean as in to go out and work, I mean money is a concept created by man. When ppl place their worth as a human in a dollar bill or ANY form of currency, that is the beginning of the end. Life is about so much more than just a couple of bucks. Money's only use is to provide a comfort in life and handle necessities. I think money destroys ppl from the inside out as they acquire too much.

There's this thing I've been working on called 'the billionaire bust' and essentially what I'm getting at is there isn't supposed to be billionaires at all. In 2000 a million dollars was so much most ppl wouldn't even fathom much more. In the late 90s if you had a million, you could provide for your family for a very long ass time. Ppl aren't getting richer, as a society we're actually becoming more poor thus the value of the dollar.

Why is it that a million dollars is worth less? Did the value of items increase or did how we circulate and collect mess up somewhere along the line? If the government's job is to circulate and then collect and the govt isn't able to collect because ppl aren't spending cash but are holding and overly saving, what this causes is a misflow in the amount of dollars in circulation. I had a great macro teacher who broke down the problem with his generation and how we got to this point and the gist of his words were essentially. In order for an economy to sustain or repair itself, ppl MUST spend. The question becomes how do you MAKE ppl spend?

There are a handful of ways but this is beyond the point and I'm digressing. The point is the more everyone saves in fear of a recession, the more real a depression becomes. Isn't this such an ironic fact?

Edit: Wrote this around 2021 or 2022 when Elon purchased twitter, decided to share

[manifesting-notes]

Manifesting and the Election

Disclaimer: not an American, not living anywhere in the USA, and I definitely have no horse in this race. But this caught my attention as people are so loud about it lol.

So the American election is finally over, and the orange guy is back in the White House.

Which begs the question: how the hell does a convicted felon, with sexual allegations left and right, has a spotty reputation, and just a general pain in the arse that other world leaders are uncomfortable around him, got back? And not just winning. It's a red landslide.

Is it because of stupid voters? The gullible, uneducated masses?

The rich elite?

Elon Musk buying votes?

Christofascism?

Populist ideology becoming in trend again?

Party over country ideology?

The divided left?

Kamala / Biden fucking shit up?

Or just lazy, cynical people who believe that voting is useless?

Maybe? Maybe? Maybe?

A lot of theories are flying around and news articles are now analysing how Kamala Harris lost despite the overwhelming support during the campaign run. And they maybe right, or maybe not.

But there's one thing I've noticed amidst all the usual mess of politics:

It's the the stupidly overwhelming confidence that Donald Trump and those who support him. It's unnatural. Or maybe cult-like, like other people would say.

He's so confident that he's the president to the point that he refuses to admit that he lost against Biden in the 2020 election. So confident that he can say out loud that he can stand in the middle of the street, shoot someone, and not lose voters (in the 2016 election), so confident that even if he's saying deranged shit like immigrants eating pets, the party still got behind him and supported him (compared to Biden who got replaced after fumbling on the debate). He may have policies, but the most defining characteristic of that guy is the bravado that he can do anything and be anything and stick solely to that belief.

I can say that this is highly possible considering his attitude and outlook in life.

And he somehow defied all odds, despite all the mud slinging and how he's a man baby wearing diapers, he won by a huge margin.

That time I asked myself : "Is this guy just law of assumptioning his way to presidency?"

Before you roll your eyes and close this post, humor me.

Manifesting is simply aligning your internal (4D) world to your desires and be confident in it... Then the external (3D) world reflects your changed inner state.

Isn't that what he did? People may call him delusional, a liar, or downright crazy... But what if it's more than just that?

While I'm no Trump expert / historian (I don't really follow his life at all), a few short conversations in the r/NevilleGoddard2 sub gave me a few bits of useful info about this guy.

His mentor (or idol?) is Norman Vincent Peale, the author of the Power of Positive Thinking. A lot of Internet articles have already written about his influence over Trump, so I won't list them here. But it you read how he and his family behaved in the past and compare it to what's happening right now, it's not so crazy as it seems, don't you think?

What struck me most is the sheer brazen impudence of that guy. He is never going to take "No" for an answer. And he always sticks to his narrative. No matter how crazy delusional it seems to the 3D perspective. Whether this is a behavior of a narcissistic man child or not, you can't argue with the results of this thinking. While I do admit that I'm more on Neville/ Joseph Murphy than NVP, we can say that the theories and teachings overlap. It is always about sticking to your desired outcome, get your inner world to be fully aligned in that state, and reject anything that the 3D offers that is not aligned in your desires end.

During the 2016 elections, I simply dismissed his win as the people wanting a fresh face in politics. But after he lost to Biden in the 2020 election, he kept on spewing his narrative and just tried again on the next election. Whether that's the act of a (very desperate) madman or not, one cannot help but wonder what is happening behind the scenes.

So, here are my thoughts in this:

Manifesting doesn't care whether you're a saint or Satan incarnate. No one is going to judge you if you're worthy of your desires or not. Whatever that is governing the laws of the universe is not going to assess if you get what you want because you're a good person or not. If you can apply the mechanics or laws correctly and stick with it, you'll get what you want.

Be faithful to your desired end. It may or may not come on the day that you want. Heck, you may even face setbacks or even see things opposite to what you want. But as long as your internal state is fixed, your 3D will be adjusted accordingly soon enough.

Focus your energy on what matters. Most of the time, I often see posts on posts mocking Trump or doing something like "Vote blue to stop Trump or Project 2025" or something. But unfortunately, the undesired part often gets emphasised rather than the desired part. And that fear/ hatred of the unwanted gets magnified in this sense. If you want a peaceful, prosperous reality, then focus your energy there. Not on the worst case scenarios.

Reality is always malleable. I think this is very obvious considering the various shifts that happened in this election drama. What happens one second can be vastly different on what happens next. Nothing is set in stone unless you deem it so.

That's all for now. So far, I am still seeing people manifesting a Kamala presidency. And I am very much interested on what happens.

[wickedlybadass]

I’m not gonna say that Trump’s victory speech was the worst speech ever but I will say it is nothing compared to Harris’ concession speech at all. In Trump’s speech, all he talked about was his family, Melania’s new book, talking about his parents in law and how they miss them, listed some states he won in, thanked his family, said he was gonna help people heal without going further into it, pointed out Vance and his wife and congratulated him, poked fun at the media like CNN. Allowed Vance to speak for about 30 seconds though Vance did give better words, talking about making the country better (no details on how) before stepping aside for Trump. Vance looked like he had no idea what to say. I have to wonder if Vance ever thought, “what the hell was I thinking getting involved with this guy?” Trump continued with “he (Vance) turned out to be a good choice”. Trying to pick words because he obviously didn’t rehearse this speech like, “we’re gonna make this special, I guess that’s what you call the it, special” (what the hell?). He continues talking like he’s confused saying we’re going put up a border, then let people come in legally but doesn’t elaborate more then suddenly introduces Susie and Chris as if he has ADD. Clearly, he likes to introduce his people even if they have nothing intellectual to say like Chris. Kept talking about how great everyone is, his time with Elon Musk, some spaceship moving around while he was on the phone with someone, starting some crazy talk about the hurricane in NC and starlink or something, asking Elon if Russia, China or the USA can use it. He says we don’t have a lot of geniuses and we have to protect them. Well, I can think of one guy isn’t a genius and I’m talking about him! But protecting him? Well, those idiots from MAGA voted from him so I guess he’ll have to be protected. Started introducing some athlete guys onstage while the audience chanted their names as if they were at a rock concert. Guy shows up arrogant saying this is what happens when the machines does this or that and saying “this is karma.” Trump kept on making it obvious he had no idea what else to say with repeating, “we’re gonna turn it around”, kept saying it’s very special, thanking the American people again. Says RFK Jr is making Americans healthy again but didn’t elaborate. Apparently, he’s just listing people who support him because he has no idea what else to say. Bragged about oil and how nobody have what we have, talking about bringing in taxes but no details on that. Carried on this campaign about how historic it was with a lot of diverse people involved (I’m sure diverse people have helped in other campaigns before, he clearly has nothing smart to say), gonna stop wars but no word on how. Again, he wanted this speech to be long and he was obviously running out of words to say. Mentioned having 900 rallies. Seriously? Then went back to talking about himself talking about the attempted assassinations and how he is still here for a reason. Ok, the very end of the speech wasn’t that horrible. Says he’s gonna make promises and work hard. Yeah, well….

Anyway, his whole speech was all about him, his family and friends and he just likes to tell stories that has nothing to do with serving Americans at all because he thinks it’s time to put on some fun, entertaining show when he’s onstage! Hardly anything about his details for his plans or anything about what America is really about and how he’s going to maintain that. He just went up and just started acting like a fool and looking like a joke and making the victory all about him, his family and his own supporters, not all American people including those who didn’t vote for him!

Kamala Harris should give him a few lessons about humbleness, professionalism, dignity and integrity. During her concession speech, there were a lot of tears in the audience because she lost but Harris stood up there actually acting like a professional and an adult. Trump needs to listen to that speech so he can learn how to give a speech that the American people need to hear. I’m sure Harrsvwas quite emotional and upset when she lost. She went on more than 12 hours without posting on X after she lost. I’m sure she was busy processing everything in private instead of lashing out, unlike Trump did when he lost in 2020. She stayed calmed and went out and gave a very positive, professional and mature speech about loss, working hard, accepting loss and hardship, fighting for your country and never giving up. She didn’t get up there and start giving out personal stories about herself, talk about her family and her own personal success, mention her endorsements or show up unprepared. She took the loss with grace (no matter how unfair it seemed to anyone) and uplifted people and stayed positive and she led the people to the beginning of healing after this loss instead of being bitter and throwing accusations and whining, ‘but I won! Your machines are broken and I’m gonna sue everyone who didn’t vote for me!”

Being president is about leadership and guiding people in the right direction, not being so cynical and whining and threatening when you don’t get what you want. Trump thought what happened in 2020 was unfair so he lashed out. People are furious about this 2024 elections and Harris didn’t follow suit and lash out and make accusations. She didn’t start investigating or make phone calls and make sure the votes were counted correctly. No other losing president has ever done that in the US history!

it’s too bad Harris won’t be president. People can learn so much from her. Instead, MAGA people want to take over, focus on control and incite violence when they don’t get what they want. Being a leader is about being professional and humble, even if you think the results are wrong. It’s not about what’s right and what’s wrong, no matter what you think. It’s about controlling yourself, not other people!

[skyburger]

u ever think about how fucked up it is that we talk about corporations & governments vs. people and like... the corporations are run by people. the government is run by people. How awful do you have to be to not care for other humans the way politicians and businessmen do!!! what kind of person ends up with all this power and uses it only for their own gain. why wouldnt you help people. What the fuck are you even getting out of this? Some pieces of paper? some metal circles? ohhh you get to watch digital numbers in your bank accounts go up good for u ^_^ Like why is life so based around money. money is fucking made up. animals dont have coins! why do we need currency when its so fucked up. why cant we just be kind to each other. why cant we help our neighbors and our friends and our comrades and our brothers and sisters and siblings-in-arms and out families! why do we all have to go through all this paperwork and all this hoopla to get anything to change. do you ever think about how all the people who work at those offices or file that paperwork or whatever the hell do you ever think about how theyre just some random person same as you or me?? we paint some people to be monsters (elon musk... trump....) and while they 100% deserve that title isnt it fucked up that theyre just human. thats just some guy. why do we let them do that shit. "ohhh its against the law blah blah" Okay who cares! what law! the laws that your great great great great grandpa voted for and you just didnt think to question??? the laws that some guys a couple hundred years ago decided would be laws???? why are we still abiding by all this shit. like what purpose does it serve. who does this make happy. i kinda do think the united states of americas government & laws are too fucked up to save at this point we just gotta start from scratch. how did people fuck up this bad. how can people have no compassion in their heart to let flesh and blood human beings-- just like them! just like you and me!-- just suffer and die when they could literally help them. Why!!!!!!!

A New Adventure is Here

The thing is, new things are actually scary because of its unpredictability nature. We have developed an automatic system within our unconsciousness to see new thing as a threat to our lives whether it is to run or to fight back. Let’s imagine that we are walking around in the middle of the forrest and then we see tree branches fall to the ground. Our common response is that we are shocked and then assuming it is a snake. We tried to tickle it with our sticks/other tree branches to see if it’s alive or it’s just tree branches. Until we are really sure that it is either dead or not a deadly cobra, we could continue our journey with peace. This response has been done for maybe thousands of years since our ancestors are an easy target for the snakes and we are taking a great attention to this since snakes are dangerous animals that has killed a lot of people. At this point, I kinda disagree with Barney that says ‘New is always better’.

New things are not always better, sometimes it’s challenging even deadly to some degree. The latest human technology, Artificial Intelligence are actually a prove that a lot of people are not ready to accept this technology and some of them are cursing its existence. Elon Musk is trying to convince the people about space travel and living in the moon or Mars and this idea not only has been hardly accept by our community but also considered as lunatic! Crypto’s market is still crashing, NASA keeps updating us about new planets or galaxies and more and more other proves that there is always been a new discovery on a daily basis and how could it not scared our poor little primitive minds that has just discovered fire, thousands of years ago?

It also happens to me personally. I’m scared with a lot of stuff, lately. My new job, my new client, my new habit, my new relationship, and above all my new life. It sure is scary as hell that a lot of things are actually that I thought I already know and have a good grasp of it, turns out wrong and irrelevant. Things that I don’t aware of its existence is actually hurting the people that I loved. I’ve experienced a lot of things, I’ve discovered many new things, and I’ve learned even more from all of that, with all the rollercoaster-upside down. All in all, a new adventure has turned me into something new and I have difficulties to understand it all.

Just like Bilbo Baggins in his first journey outside of Bag-End Village, he started it with a great new spirit, looking at this as something exciting and will get him out of his boring live. For those of you who followed his quest, it is all not that exciting but more like a dangerous trip and dare I say life-threatening. He ate things that aren’t supposed to be eat, sleep in random places, and do things that are beyond imagine. Do you still remember at that time when he actually almost killed Gollum, the ring keeper! He could actually eliminate him at that time but decided to didn’t even when Gollum has been attempting to killed him several times. Turns out at the end of the series, it’s actually quite interesting that Bilbo came home with a different spirit and grew up so much. I felt alot like him.

My new adventure has somewhat makes me dizzy, stressed, but at the end of the day makes me stare and awe. I have never known my potential and what could I do before until I found myself in this new life; A new adventure with a million of potentials and opportunities that keeps me from getting bored to work (How could I be bored? It is almost feels like I want to die everyday and week!). It taught me a lot of stuff and mold my soul harshly like a keris (local short blades for battle and war). This year, I would never imagine myself with a girl and to dedicate my heart to her. An exclusive relations with my loved ones that challenge me, question me, and always love me. A deep connection and relations that keeps me wandering all night that could this goes any better and what would I do without her.

Today’s digital era, the period of accessibility and connectivity has been wildly change our perceptions of a lot of things, change how the society works, and it is started to challenge a lot about humanity’s foundations of faith, soul, and mind. It tries to change our old structures into new ones so that it could lasts longer, better, and stronger. It is our job to discover all of the potentials and to keep being scared of the new things that will come again in the future. Future holds a great mystery for us since humanity was blessed (or cursed) with a conscious mind that awares of themselves and could predict what will be in the future. The unknown has never been easy to accept but let’s go beyond the chaos to know that it is essential for human’s soul to keep challenge itselves to become new, different, and grow well.

Everyone wants to be wealthy, healthy and at peace.

How do we know that EVERYONE in the world is missing information?

Because no one has all three, being healthy, wealthy and at peace! Except Keanu Reeves (you're Jesus to me 🤣 you taught us this.)

What about the ultra rich? I promise you, they are not at peace because they fear death the most. They're rich! Who could blame them?

They are suffering the most in their own personal hell. Looking at you, Jeff Bezos! No offense to bring you up but this is all that suffering you inflicted on all your employees coming back to you. You should let people pee and eat when they work for you, Jeff. They are you. Hello! You're a loving being, sir.

Here is the reality of where we are in human evolution. Read this next part a few times cause it took us since 1776 to realize it, my fellow american. Also it took me about 2 hours to with my turtle brain to think this logic and proof it 😄🤣

Human evolution shows us.

Hard times make Strong men -> (Cave man) Strong men make good times ->(Mensa Musa) Good times make weak men ->('king whoever' of the British Empire) Weak men make HARD TIMES (The revolutionary war against Britain, our last 200+ years america!)

HARD TIMES MAKE STRONG MEN.

AMERICA.

THE STRONG MEN THAT WILL NOW LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL. FOREVER.

THE NEXT EVOLUTION OF HUMANITY.

Homo-Spiritus

We can now clearly see that we haven't been truly free to love honestly until this moment. Until we evolve past the greedy, reptilian, lack of evolution and experiential references that caused a world of pain for King James, and everyone's soul since then. He never knew he could of had the world if he just would of loved everything and everyone. If he just would of been a giver, all the time. A giver of guidance not money. A giver of A SINGLE MOMENT OF THOUGHT for his people. What were their interests? What do the people want? Rather, he took and took and took.

What do the people want? REAL LEADERSHIP.

Hello! Reality. Welcome. I love you.

We can do this to ensure we all thrive and fix the damage we have done to the world. I hope many stand with me, but it's just a matter of time until we all can stop seeing all this suffering, school shootings, people dying pointlessly without water and the cycle of homelessness in America.

The end to all this awful pain on its way.

Once one of the powerful that rule this world, with their name, understand they haven't even began receiving on the level that they will if they evolve.

If they switch to a giver, not a taker. If they use their name and voice to change this.

Don't take from yourself the chance to say you helped end the water shortage.

I think of this list below as people that are clear lights of love and they would want to be on this list and feel the productive pain of love we all have for them. Just a loving message of opportunity here. Don't shoot, my hands are up! I love you, all, humanity! This is a random list of people that came to mind, guys.

We are all one thing, so I truly thank all humans and love you. I apologize my memory kind of sucks with names. 😄

Thank you to every human who got us this far. You ARE perfect. YOU ARE INFINITE.

This is the way forward, America. We can't wait any longer for our 'rulers' to create our world. We must wake up to our infinite power to fix the error of our collective concious up until this point.

I love you, America. Let's lead. Let's change. #proudtobeanamerican #letslead #letschange

USA, USA, USA

Here we go, world, here we go!

The world will witness as our true dream team assembles and goes to the world of changing this world forever and arguably, save our species. Magic Johnson Scottie Pippen Shaquille O' Neal Michael Jordan Dennis Rodman U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren Nancy Pelosi Joe Biden Donald J. Trump Hillary Clinton Trevor Noah Gordon Ramsay James Gordon Jimmy Kimmel Denzel Washington LeBron James Aaron Rodgers Tom Brady William Shatner Elon Musk Roy Wood, Jr. Desi Lydic Eddie Murphy Robert Deniro Arnold Schwarzenegger Edward Norton Brad Pitt Angelina Jolie

Humanity.

We need you all! Now, more than ever.

It's a matter of life and death due to the water situation and a potential matter of life and death for our species.

From Fox News - Donald Trump Jr. opposes Bud Light boycott, citing company's donations to Republicans

Donald Trump Jr. opposes Bud Light boycott, citing company's donations to Republicans

Umm...

Look, I'm Trump 2024 as much as anyone can be. Don't get me started on the fact that the GOP is now putting up rather good candidates to primary against him, that's another topic for another day. My point is, respect them or not, you don't have to follow in perfect lockstep with every opinion that comes out of them. Like this one. I entirely disagree. The problem with most woke corporations is that they are so damn big, even if you want to boycott them, you really can't. I bake my own freaking bread, and just kind of have to look the other way on King Arthur Flour's DEI initiatives. A sack of freaking flour; this is literally one of the most basic components of food... Oh, there's other options you say? You think the freaking Pillsbury conglomerate is going to be any less involved with woke matters?

So what I'm getting at here is the fact that most of the time, these boycotts just don't work. They can't work. Either the target audience just doesn't want to be inconvenienced, like you hate Elon Musk, but can't live without social media, or it's legitimately such a massive conglomerate that you cannot possibly avoid purchasing their products. Unless you're fortunate enough to be like completely off the grid living like it's 1860. But this, this one is different. Somehow, some way, a massive corporation finally went too far, and alienated their customer base so egregiously that people are actually doing something about it. This is wonderful, this is long overdue, and this is not something that we should be even considering letting up on.

Oh, they learned their lesson, you say? My ass they did. Now don't get me wrong, I don't want people to lose jobs, we'll just put a pin in the fact that Bud Light is but a subsidiary of a subsidiary of a massive conglomerate based out of fucking Belgium, I get and am indeed concerned about the distributors, and people working wherever Budweiser happens to be made, this isn't their fault, and they most likely don't agree with this bullshit the company is spouting either. But we have been told time and time again that the only way we're going to affect change is to vote with our wallets. We have the ballot box, and we have the cash register, and as much respect as I do have for Donald Trump, Jr., it is the epitome of hypocrisy to then turn right around and tell us to stop using these powers when they actually start making a difference.

Bud Light knew exactly what they were doing. They didn't care that it would alienate their customer base, because the current zeitgeist says that you can't say anything whatsoever in any kind of opposition to the alphabet soup group. So they can do whatever the hell they want, you the beer drinker can't say anything or you're a bigot, one person gets to parade around pretending he's the queen of the silver screen, he's the victim, you're a bastard, shut up and buy our beer.

You want people to vote with their wallets? Well guess what, it's election day, no takesy-backsies. 🥔

[33446699]

That's what I was trying to say yesterday so well written 🤔the point when you callout a woman who is wrong and doing wrong to other women ,you are suddenly monsterous and not a feminist, not a girls girl but this monstrosity is good in a way .Letting others to walk all over you and then expecting them to treat you right is wrong and being delusional because why are you increasing your pain tolerance and giving them ideas that they can cross certain limits 😭😭😭

Healthy boundaries, discernment is what not a lot of people know and an example is why some girls think that when they will callout their friend if she cheated or steal someone boyfriend or husband will remove them from this girls girl position when they want to call out that person is sad and bad ,this witch hunt thing countless times I have been called out in school because I wasn't supporting but calling out those girls who were contributing to this vicious cycle of willfully ignorance and blatant injustice happened towards other women or people in general,even when they are victim they fail to sympathise with other women and being villanised in people eyes is something any generational curse breaker knows this better for sure than other people

About this public person and fans demanding and behaving like they own these people and going to lengths saying they are right because they are demanding from their "consumer rights "to these people I would like to say sir /mam you failed at the very first stage of considering these public person as human because what the hell is this 😭😭🤦🏼‍♀️.The mentality of these people is so messed up that will even think that they own Elon musk or mark Zuckerberg,a major reason is extremely unhealthy parasocial relationship and antiparasocial relationships and it makes them think they need to know the blue print of their fav life and need to draw those roads and lines their fav should follow in their life 🤦🏼‍♀️and them spending few hundred thousands on to those favs who are earning millions and offering services to thier fans as their job makes them think ,they have a right to control and dictate how they should breathe 😂😂 .The point is when you realise a lot of fans dont actually want and wish happiness for their idol until unless its the" fan "they should be dating or marrying thats the reason of fans having frenzy over even the thought of celebrities having a romantic partner,cancelling them and destroying their careers and forcing them to end their relationships , and trying to find every reason to find out if they are single or not because the celebrity should be happy but on their terms and conditions like an app or website ,he should love but only the fan ,he should marry but only the one and he should wait for the one (which is ofcourse a fan ) because how come he/she can choose someone by their own choice

And honestly some people who are miserable themselves want others to be like them and that's why these fans and other people act like this 😮‍💨

I used to be a girl's girl, oh how naive I used to be. If there is something that I've become largely disturbed by is the lengths to which women can go to hate and tear down other women. This aspect of toxic and deranged femininity isn't discussed enough. The main people leading the Salem witch trials were women, not men, and likewise we see similar attempts at witch hunts being led by and prompted up by women towards other women, rarely by straight men.

Things like cancel culture are almost always universally used by women and gay men to bring down women who fail to pass their completely theatrical moral purity test. These people will go to great lengths in analyzing the social media history or any other public comment made by a woman they want to bring down that could be deemed socially problematic - sometimes going back years - to have an excuse to metaphorically lynch the woman they don't like, and have a mob of similarly minded losers join them in the attack.

This is also why the main people who were hating on Amber Heard during her trial against Depp were women. It's why Jennifer Lopez can't catch a break from online hate due to petty reasons while men in her industry can be predators and abusers with little social push back and while having an army of women fans defend their every move (see Chris Brown, XXXTentacion, R. Kelly, etc.). It's why every other month social media picks up a popular woman to hate on and gang up against.

If you are a woman that is beautiful, smart, accomplished, charismatic, and feminine, prepare to become public enemy number one in the minds of many women who don't know you but feel threatened by you, even if you are nothing but kind to them. Do not be surprised to the lengths they will go to try to bring you down. You can't be naive and expect other women to look out for your best interests just because that's what you'd do for them. Keep your guard up and don't let their mob-like tactics take you down.

elon musk dick suckers need to fucking stop

so this video was saying how that "self made billionaires" can't exist as all billionaires get money from other people or come from rich families, and there is no way in hell that the average middle class person will ever come close to being a billionaire, let alone a millionaire.

and this asshole decided to comment "no actually billionaires are the best because only billionaires are able to turn a lot of money into a lot more money".

[ID: tiktok comment from disdad1428 that reads "you're grasping at straws here. taking 30k and turning it into multiple large business is still nearly impossible for the average person" end ID]

and I said that he was technically correct, because the only people who have a lot of money to turn it into a lot more money are the people who already have a lot of money.

and then this bitch came along and said that he actually had enough money just laying around to start up multiple business, but that he couldn't become a billionaire. so either he admits that no matter what, the average person can't become rich. or it means that even by doing the exact same things that he thinks billionaires do, he still can't be a billionaire because.... billionaires are magic or something

[ID two tiktok comments. first by. daughter of Sappho that reads "it is. (referring to it being impossible for the average person to turn 30k into multiple businesses.) because the average person doesn't have 30k to just throw away and gamble like that."

second comment is by purple dishwasher that reads "I do, I can't become a billionaire though"

end ID]

so I told him that he isn't normal, and that the average person doesn't even make 30k in a year. so he called me a liar, even though the actual average income is about 31k, so I wasn't even that far off. and thats an entire year. that's not counting rent, food, water, electricity, gas, insurance, etc. you'd have to go an entire year without spending a single fucking penny, only to throw away all that money, just at a chance to open up multiple businesses, with absolutely no outside funding or assistance, to achieve what these people THINK billionaires do.

[ID tiktok comments

daughter of Sappho: the average person doesn't even make 30k in a year. you seriously have that much to just throw away? I don't believe that.

purple dishwasher: and the average income is over 30k, so stop lying m

daughter of Sappho: average income in america, $31,113. oh my g-d I'm so fucking sorry I was off by fucking three percent! you're so fucking pedantic

end ID]

I should also point out that the same person who says "I have enough money to start up multiple businesses, but I won't because I'm not a magic billionaire" also says that he will literally give away all his money to the next Jeff Bezos. you're not just licking the boot. you're not even deepthroughting the boot. the boot is all the way down your large intestine

[ID comment by purple dishwasher: "I'm not average. I have investments and savings. I'd be happy to loan it to the next elon" end ID]

these people are beyond stupid. they are a plauge. there is no reason why these people should be able to use the internet. they are bowing down and sucking the dick of a man singlehandedly starving the entire planet who doesn't even know that these people exist.

incredibly pathetic.

will update with more later

[galaactic]

ive seen a lot of posts about the tumblr checkmarks, some positive, some negative, some just finding it hilarious, and i feel the need to get some thoughts out here

yes, this is opportunistic capitalism. but there is a severe difference in what twitter is doing and what tumblr is doing. tumblr is constantly losing money, and has been for awhile. if this continues, it will most likely get shut down at some point, which i know that i would personally REALLY not like to happen. tumblr has to make money somehow, and it could be doing it in a MUCH worse way.

these 'fake checkmarks' are a joke, yes. you get two for the price of one twitter checkmark, capitalizing on twitter's current downfall. on twitter, buying a checkmark does much more. it means that random bots, corporations, etc. can push their tweets to the top of your feed, can make their accounts be the first to pop up in your activity, it means an ACTUAL degradation of the platform for anyone using it.

on tumblr, the checkmarks mean nothing, they DO nothing. the people that buy them know this and are doing it for the joke. in the advertisement it states that they do not do anything. they are not meant to just be making fun of elon's failures, but also doing it in a way where the site isn't actually compromised by the same issues. it's genuinely a smart way to make money and makes the decision be left entirely up to the users on whether or not they want to buy the checkmarks, knowing that there is no use for them. again- purely for the joke.

people are upset with them making money this way but the key difference is that if you do not buy the checkmarks, you are not affected at all. hell, they don't even appear on mobile. if you don't buy checkmarks on twitter, you ARE affected, by all the ways in which random people being verified actually fuck with the platform. the only 'downside' ive seen people argue is that by doing this, tumblr is making money. which it NEEDS to do, and it isn't doing it in a way that harms anyone else on the site. no subscription fee, no surplus of ads, nothing. just silly blue checkmarks that make people laugh

i think its funny, i like seeing the posts about it, and i think it was an extremely smart addition on tumblr's end. that is all
