It’s a new app I’m trying and I want to see how it works.

Open borders aren’t as warm and fuzzy as we were led to think:

Here’s an easy rule of thumb: whenever anybody tells you that there should be no borders, know that you are dealing with either a moron or an evildoer.

I knew this couple some years ago. They were high-school sweethearts who got engaged and were planning their wedding. He was in IT, with a brilliant future. Everything was going great.

Then he decided he was a woman. He is a 6 foot 4 burly fellow of the kind that has to shave twice a day. A very deep voice, strong masculine features. After a bunch of very expensive treatments, he still looked nothing like a woman. He became majorly depressed and started to resent his fiancee because she was a tiny, very feminine woman and effortlessly had the look he wanted to achieve. She tried to be understanding, calling herself a lesbian and masculinizing her appearance with a short haircut and baggy clothing but it didn’t work.

He lost his job, became a hermit, and finally he started being physically abusive to the fiancee, so she left. It was devastating to her because he was the love of her life but it became dangerous to stay. Watching this unraveling of what was going to be a really great life was painful.

The guy was a high-achiever alpha type, so he went after this goal of becoming a woman like he’d always gone after every other goal in his life. Full speed ahead, extraordinary effort. But the goal was unachievable to begin with.

All this could have been avoided. This completely unnecessary suffering didn’t have to happen. That’s what hurts the most, how utterly unnecessary this all was.

Yes, I saw videos of a Nepalese-Cuban regiment fighting in the Donbass. The families of the Cubans say they had no idea where they were being sent and for what purpose.

N gave me a present of a signed book by a Spanish author I like just as I was eating fried potatoes (not to be confused with the evil concoction called “fries”) and egg. I experienced a huge inner conflict.

Venezuela destroyed its oil industry. We can all guess on whose orders.

Since then, it’s been getting oil from China. Well, from Russia, of course, but China delivered it. As payment for its services, China used Venezuelans as guinea pigs. The social credit passport, for example, was rolled out by the Chinese in Venezuela for a trial run.

Venezuela is also an experiment in how much lawlessness and abuse under progressivist slogans people can tolerate. For now, the answer is: an endless amount.

That’s what happens to the useless people (aka “wasted lives”) in neoliberalism. They are used for medical, social and psychological experiments.

Now a new experiment is being run in Venezuela. The question it aims to answer is whether the US will put up with a Russia-China sponsored invasion in its own hemisphere.

The question that our pouty friends love to ask (“how would the US like it if Russia placed military bases in Mexico?”) will soon require a specific, non-pouty answer.

My calendar has a single running daily task in Ukrainian and it is “розташувати ельфа. Who can guess why I put it down in Ukrainian?

Same here. I sincerely believed that people were so racist that they left the cities because they couldn’t stand to live near black people.

I have an excuse, though. I’m an immigrant. If Americans tell me they are like that, why should I disbelieve them? I heard this all the time, repeated like a mantra, with no other explanation offered. Why was I supposed to doubt it?

With the number of immigrants coming in, any person who can explain things beyond the ruling narrative is worth their weight in gold. We can’t turn our noses at anyone because the things that a newcomer gets told are very tendentious, and people believe them because there’s no alternative narrative anywhere.

Does anybody know why people are posting empty posts on Twitter with the date of 12/31/69? It’s so annoying because I can’t access the news over this moronic prank.

People who write often make the mistake of thinking that they need a stretch of time that’s free from their daily obligations to write. But it’s usually untrue. They keep waiting and waiting for those several completely free days or weeks when they finally will be free to just write. And then that time comes and all that massive writing they envisioned doesn’t happen.

For most people, writing works best when it’s part of their daily lives.
