My daughter is way too young to be interested. She only just turned 9. I don’t think I could explain to her why those weird people are acting so weirdly.

But I remember the movie, yes. That wife was a bitch harpy from hell. Is there a person living who didn’t detest her with every fiber of their being?

Sad disordered lives of trashy, horrible people. Great acting from Williams, though. And a few good jokes.

Seriously, did anybody ever not despise that mother? The screenwriter must have really hated women.

It’s really charming when people who somehow manage not to notice a terrible war raging in Europe at this very moment run around calling others stupid.

They will get stronger, indeed. Words fail me to describe this incredible hubris.

And here’s an illustration for my preceding post:

The Tates developed a quirky, standout brand. That’s what matters. Who cares that they are ugly, sleazy pedos? Morality is dead anyway. Boreing is simply too old to move with the times and enjoy the originality and the rule breaking.

Just in case people are experiencing a post-lunch slump: I’m being sarcastic. I’m on Boreing’s stodgy, frumpy, unexciting side in this.

I’m bringing this out from the comments because I need to be able to link to it and not have to repeat myself in the future.

Neoliberalism teaches us that chaos is good, order is bad. Embrace unpredictability. Be always prepared to pivot. Rules don’t matter, quirky personalities do. It’s neoliberalism, my friends. It’s liberating, exhilarating, fun. It’s all a big game where you get to change the rules all the time. And you can win BIG.

It’s so good.

Until you don’t win. Until you can no longer pivot and embrace change. Until you get tired, or sick, or tied down by family, obligation, community. If you can’t drop it all at a moment’s notice, you get dropped. Discarded.

Morality is jettisoned, too. There are no longer the same moral laws for everybody. If you have a quirky enough personality, you can stand above all that.

I’m analyzing a novel where two quirky female characters murder a little boy. What strikes me as curious is that not a single critic who has written about this novel managed to say that the women’s actions are amoral or at least just simply wrong. When I say it, I see people look at me in confusion. “Amoral? But that’s outdated. There’s no longer a shared morality. Everybody gets to develop their own morality, and it’s all good. No morality (or system of rules) is better than anybody else’s.”

Of course, the little boy gets screwed in this scenario but that’s a small price to pay for quirky, interesting personalities to be free to remake the world to their liking.

This is the conflict of our times. Boring, constraining, stolid rules versus the liberating, freedom-making chaos. We have all collectively decided to choose chaos and kill the little boy. Children need rules, routines and predictability. And that’s so unfree. Who needs all that? Screw the little buggers and let’s go be free. There is no morality beyond freedom. No higher good. Only being free to be yourself because the God of our era is the all-important, all-powerful Self.

What is it that people are downvoting in yesterday’s post about my diabetic breakfasts? The bunny statue? Yes, I know, but it was Klara’s purchase. She loved its symbolism of mother-child love. Or is it the unknown words? Yes, I eat ethnic food, stop the presses.

Also, I am kind of wounded by the downvotes on the AI dude image. It’s the first one I ever made, and OK, he’s not perfect. I’m glad everybody else is such an AI expert they can do better images. A little support maybe for an AI beginner? I love how everybody is so superior when their own AI-generated stuff might be just as primitive. The show should air tomorrow, by the way, and I’m going to talk about some very juicy perversions, so your loss if you don’t watch.

“Birthrate Apocalypse” is the Right’s global warming. At least, the Right is smarter in putting the date of the extinction 300 years from now. But it’s dumber in expecting people to care an about “vanishing countries” in 2720.

I also really like the precision. It’s not 2700. It’s 2720. They should have gone even further and narrowed it down to November 15, 2720 at 2:35 pm.

I’m not entirely sure what women’s history means. Is it historical novel with female characters? I don’t read much of that but if you are liberally disposed, you could go with The Time In Between by Maria Dueñas. I think it’s available on Kindle Unlimited.

The reason why I don’t read historical fiction is because authors invariably populate history with 21st-century characters who couldn’t have possibly existed in the past, and I don’t understand the point of this exercise. These writers fill the past with girl-bossing women and feminist men, and it’s all kind of embarrassing. But if people have recommendations, please share in the comments.

Meanwhile in Canada:

A trans-identified male serving an indefinite prison sentence for sexual offenses, including the rape of a 13 year-old girl, is said to have sexually assaulted multiple female inmates after having been transferred into a women’s prison.

EXCLUSIVE: “Dangerous” Trans-Identified Male Pedophile Under Investigation For Sexually Assaulting Female Inmates In Canadian Women’s Prison

But forget about that, Canadians. This is a blip. Your real problem is the scary Trump invasion. You urgently need to vote the Liberals into power again. They’ll send more male rapists into female jails, yes, but screw those whiny transphobic broads. As long as the invasion is bravely resisted, that’s a small price to pay.

Michelle Trachtenberg died. It’s so sad. She was only 39. No children. Her dead body was found by her mother. Why did such a beautiful, talented, wealthy and successful woman live such a castrated life?

I was a great fan of her as an actress, and this saddens me a lot.

The AI created the following image as a teaser for my show tomorrow:

Am I good at building suspense, or what?
