Sup brahs. Are you pumped? Are you jacked? Are you getting jacked? Have you slonked your eggs yet today? Good, good. Wait, what’s that? You don’t slonk any eggs? None at all? NGMI, bro.

 

RIP to my friend Brian. He probably ate too many eggs. Cholesterol will kill you. Do not be suspicious and do not speculate about why an athletic, apparently healthy man had a massive heart attack and died two weeks before his 40th birthday. Do not speculate about his vaccination status. That would be a crazy thing to do, and you don’t want to be a crazy person, do you?

The obituary has a GoFundMe link if you feel like throwing a few bucks towards his widow’s short term expenses.

 

Heroic Mulatto, PBUH*, sends us this link, in which a demon elf creature has things to say. Let’s give him a respectful hearing and nonviolently give careful consideration to what he has to say.

(*The P is for PAAG.)

“I put aside the confrontational behavior and the attacks on me and listen to what they were saying,” Fauci explained in the interview. “And what they were saying was making perfect sense. It made me feel if I were in their shoes, I’d be doing exactly what they were doing.”

That’s not the case when protesters in recent years began attacking Fauci for mask mandates, school closures, quarantines and bizarre claims about the COVID-19 vaccines.

“There’s one sign that says, ‘Fauci, You’re Killing Us’ and the other sign that says ‘Fauci, You’re Killing Us’ but the rationale for those from the 1980s to 2023 is enormously different,” Fauci said. “They couldn’t be more different.”

 

You think??? LOL at normies just now noticing some things.

It adds up to an impossible choice the Federal Reserve has to make when officials meet on Wednesday: Slow down the pace of interest rate hikes or plow ahead to bring down resurgent inflation and risk amplifying damage to the economy. But as far as the Fed is concerned, hopes of engineering a soft landing for the economy and avoiding a recession may already be in the rearview mirror.

 

Moldbug has opinions about Bitcoin. The sack of Krugerrands I buried in my backyard are enough for me, thank you very much, just as soon as I remember where I dug that hole.

The question then was when the immune system of the state would become activated. While in 2011, due to being an idiot, I wildly mis-assessed the timeline, I foresaw that the first stage of this conflict would be a conflict between criminal anarchy, not goofy libertarian anarchy, and the bureaucracy.

And in this conflict there was no chance that the criminals would win. Finem respice. There is nothing criminal about Coinbase; it would just be collateral damage. The lump doctor always likes to leave “clean margins.” Coinbase is now said to be looking around for overseas banks “in high-bar regulatory jurisdictions.” Needless to say, all serious First World bankers would come to work naked if Washington so ordered. So…

And don’t miss his observations on how our money is an evil fraud.

Informal securities for everyone! Well, at least, every stockholder. Informal securities for the rich! And the middle class too. No wonder our “free-market economy” is tech plus ag/energy/minerals, plus hospitals, universities and government, plus a hollow shell of FIRE. It has been bloated on soy and cheap loans for a century and change. Drive across America and you’ll see the rotting, burned-out result.

 

How to be the world’s strongest man.  I should probably get a CPAP machine.

For most spectators, seeing a huge dude like former World’s Strongest Man Eddie Hall waddle onstage, bend down and deadlift 1,102 pounds is enough. The size of this competitor, shaped like a beer barrel during his competitive days, probably occupies whatever thoughts you aren’t giving to the enormity of the feat he’s about to perform. The last things you’re likely thinking about are the strongman’s knuckle-sized hemorrhoids, his chronic irritable bowel syndrome or the fact that he might be wearing an adult diaper along with anal tampons to prevent the leakage of blood and feces.

 

Duh. Though, to be honest, BMI really is only worthless if you’re jacked and huge. Which you are. Right???

The traditional BMI measure is sub-optimal because it fails to accurately classify about 30% of individuals, so some individuals may appear to have a normal weight but have disrupted metabolic health. Part of the reason for this is that traditional BMI does not account for factors like muscle mass, bone density or fat distribution, which are all relevant to health. Despite these issues, the traditional BMI measure has been continuously used because it is a simple and cost-effective measure of obesity, and it correlates with a number of chronic diseases and all-cause mortality.

 

A subhuman communist piece of filth has opinions. Sorry, I’m having trouble hearing her over all this helicopter noise.

The books could be seen as underlying both an American pressure to make it on one’s gumption alone and the accordant shame when a person could not do so. What Little House on the Prairie indicates and suggests more broadly is that even we denizens of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries—who are not able-bodied white men willing to take land from indigenous populations—should follow Wilder’s mythologized parents’ example and make our own reality with our own hands or be deemed weak and failed.

 

Ew, gross. Imagine sticking that in one of those.

Men who reported only having oral or anal sex did not harbor vaginal bacteria, and it was noted that these external microbial contributions remained in the urethra up to two months after the men’s last reported vaginal sex, suggesting that regular vaginal sex can reshape the male urethral microbiome.

 

Finally, this is indisputably correct and something I’ve been saying for years. Though the way I phrase it is that Alex Jones is a prophet and he’s using mythological language because it’s the only category of language with the gravitas necessary to adequately characterize the evil of the enemies of humanity.

Jones combines this mastery of poetic rhetoric with an able command of Biblical allusion: Jones is the only person who can yell “get ye behind me Satan” with all the force it deserves and none of the snickering. Furthermore Jones is a gifted wordsmith with able command of the english lexicon, creating truly rich visuals and evocative ideas, in a linguistic dance both compelling, unique, and daring. When Jones resolves “We’re not drinking out of your fetid filthy pus-filled cup, your goblet of death” you visualize the Chalice before you; when Jones gives voice to the inhuman demons and aliens who embody his work, “ our protomatrix, the radio, the television, the cellphone, the smartphone, the VR, Facebook, and then we’re impregnated and implanted with that spirit and sucked in forever into their world. Now slaves. servile.

 

After that, there is only one possible choice for today’s music.
