i do not know what sort of chemical reaction would cause your body to turn to dust without harming your presumably flimsier clothing but it is far from the only science violation going on
now that my replacement computer is MOSTLY sorted out and not suffering like the previous one was i can perhaps get back to actually implementing some of these sprites and the programming for them and maybe even actual game areas for them to exist within. i really have no need to keep trying to think of new things to have monsters be doing when so much of what is already there is broken or incomplete.
but these are easier to make into website updates. otherwise i need to have something to say, and nothing stupid or worth complaining about happens anymore.

oh OH what’s THIS?

if kittens win do puppies get exiled? if puppies win do kittens need to become puppies? what are the stakes for this contest? Were the circumstances of this combat determined by a neutral party? Or is the point that war isn’t fair and is generally caused by an aggressor who simply wishes to destroy and steal property from a target they do not understand, and do not want to understand, since greater understanding may complicate the perceived morality of depriving another person whom you invented a reason to condemn to death in order to enrich yourself, even when you are already adequately enriched? this seems rather heavy a topic for an ostensibly child-directed company like scholastic

battery? this guy? he looks like he has negative muscle mass. he looks like a vampire who drinks V8. he looks like a melting onion. he looks like an Xbox npc
he looks like goth peter pan. he looks like eddie munster on heroin. he looks like a tim burton protagonist. he looks like whoever michael jackson was trying to look like. he looks like bulimic danhausen
he looks like my older brother before getting glasses
he looks like a scarecrow hairdresser. he looks like angsty chris kattan. he looks like a tetsuya nomura placeholder character. he looks like he would do anything for love but won’t do that.
he looks like a robert palmer dancer

i don’t have sympathy for mysogonistic twerps whose only accomplishment is having a y chromosome, especially ones who encourage followers to smash their jaw bones with hammers in order to achieve a more arbitrarily desirable appearance. someone who looks like a pimp from ferngully, who looks like a mannequin at sears, who looks like tiramisu, someone who looks like someone shia labeouf grew a beard to avoid being mistaken for has no business telling others to maim themselves so they can look more like him

I don’t think anybody has actually DONE this, despite probably single digit instances of people like THAT suggesting it being picked up and massively reported as if it was advice that anyone followed, but he seems like enough of a sociopath that he wouldn’t discourage anyone from doing it. He has also encouraged fans to believe he murdered a pedestrian with his automobile, and nothing about his aura indicates this is some sort of satire on malicious social media personalities. he doesn’t even have defenders who try to claim it is satire like Alex Jones dones. He gets attention, presumably money, for being a sullen weirdo, and has not been given an incentive to stop nor life experience that would allow him to develop his own incentive to stop. There are several millenia of morons doing stupid things because they think god will protect or reward them (and indeed filling military-directing positions in several, if not all world governments), and now just the allure of “views” is enough to make them kill themselves eating spicy tortilla chips or detergent pods, so no rumored lethal fad is too implausible to be real, even if it isn’t real yet.

which makes it more real than this gaslighting and momentarily quite confusing before I realized it was fake advertisement twitch sent to my email in January despite me hating streams –in fact by January having a computer not stable enough for me watch streams even if i wanted to– and never using their chat boxes. even if it was real, and indeed people i don’t actually know tend to be the most sure of their expertise regarding what i “would love,” they are also consistently mistaken so I wouldn’t want to see whatever this hypothetically would be about anyway except to declare it foolish and invalid.

an extremely ugly drawing of the beaver-type mascot of the buc-ee’s convenience store+gas station chain holding forth a plush doll of itself and spraying blood on the ground out of a gasoline pump while declaring “Everything’s fine! Keep on buying crap!” the background attempts to show oil fields wastefully flaring off but also tomahawk missiles flying past but ALSO a construction vehicle pushing extra buc-ee’s figures into a landfill and these should probably have been several separate drawings

if this picture is a completely ineffectual and unclear protest at least you get to see a gross cartoon beaver, assuming you are into that sort of thing, which i probably would not draw otherwise
in fat this is better liked than my usual posts and considerably better liked than my usual gripey posts and i largely attribute that to the gross cartoon beaver but as long as viewers don’t contact me directly under the impression that i get off to gross cartoon beavers despite a quarter century of internet evidence that i don’t i will take what i can get.

I have heard only nice things about “buc-ee’s” from a frequent patron of that but he also tends to pretend-joke-like “normal” bits of america which we both understand to actually be horrible, but it disturbs me that a chain of combination world’s largest gas station and worthless souvenir store is somehow expanding when the natural results of this sort of consumerism on the world are only becoming more obvious, unpleasant and lethal, never even mind those to whom this was always lethal through a century of toiling in factories and sweatshops for little to no money in order to make trashy low cost american goods that probably get thrown out within a week of being purchased

Apart from that buc-ee’s incorporated is apparently extremely litigious against other convenience store chains with similar names or mascot logos despite it only being called “buc-ee’s” rather than “bucky’s” to begin with in order avoid being charged with copyright infringement by whoever owns the Ipana toothpaste mascot “Bucky Beaver” after which buc-ee’s is in fact named and the mascot more than casually resembles, via the founder being compared to the character as a child, and this apparently isn’t even an obscure fact. Just nobody asks “hey why is there a hyphen instead of a K and then two Es instead of a Y?” Buc-ee’s has also sued to keep a convenience store chain actually called “Bucky’s” but which lacks mascot signage out of texas. Granted I don’t have much faith in the integrity of a company that isn’t from Texas but wants to go into Texas but the point is that Buc-Ee’s is a sketch-ee business.

in fact when i tried to look up picture of the 1950s bucky now i found numerous pictures of other partially-dressed beaver characters also called bucky and some pictures of the buc-ee’s mascot from persons under the impression its name is simply “bucky” anyway even immediately after spelling the store name the official k-less way.

it was also reported less than two weeks ago that numerous –though not all– Buc-ee’s locations have been given F ratings from the better business bureau but I don’t know enough to say that isn’t a trait common among all convenience store chains. People shop at convenience stores for convenience and, ideally, no other reason. when a convenience store is bigger than a supermarket but still operating under convenience store principles it’s going to be a disaster.

The most recurring compliment i see about buc-ee’s is that its bathrooms are clean. It’s bathrooms are SUPPOSED to be clean! I would be more impressed if their car fuel was clean. Not having human waste smeared on the walls should not be a difficult obstacle to overcome.

unless buc-ee’s is cheating out its competition for being secretly run by skeletons I am not impressed.

facebook’s unrequested AI scan got to the point this time. there is of course no alternative to submitting to an obnoxious ai-scan when posting images on a billionaire-owned platform. maybe it is training the machine on my drawings but generally this is training that will only sabotage the “work” of sleazebags who think they are entitled to have the computer illustrate projects for them.

doip having a problem.

i do not like to “kill” things but this may be even more gruesome a fate. eh it probably is not permanent.

a yet more gruesome fate would be me trying to draw that happening from 8 angles and i am not going to

yes that is all! After spending months on and off and off and off and off trying to alleviate this computer’s overheat issues i finally resigned me to buying a replacement which also turns out to be a multi-week process. Some ebay merchants don’t like to answer questions, but they don’t like to accept returns or present all pertinent information or use a consistent format for that information across their offerings, and the older i get, the more i have felt burned by bad purchases and the more annoying and particular my questions seem to get over cheaper and cheaper items.
but when i can’t make a routine grocery trip for less than $120 i do feel uninclined to drop that or double that or triple that on a computer unless i know the computer is going to do the job I want it to. or at least believe i can make the safest assumption possible that it might.
We had no idea how good we had it when cheap chicken was still around

now cheap chicken is branching out and has left us behind

Very poorly designed level. you should always have some foreground visuals rise high enough so the player cannot see or at least not notice the skybox texture going infinite as it meets the horizon

ah perfection
this screenshot is from 2011. i believe that area is broken right now and thus looks even worse than this

frustrating ai “art” posters at the destination, capone’s pizza bar in branford connecticut. Also SPORTS but i have had a few decades to become accustomed to being frustrated and disappointed by that.

I wonder why these people need two clocks if neither has the right amount of numbers but perhaps their unorthodox facial features complicate how they tell time. the structure in the distance is also questionable. The peculiar hanging scenery would be acceptible if an actual person had drawn this.

view of TERRIBLE high heeled shoes. they look more like pig hooves. i know some people who might be into that but i am not one of them and again this was not intentional

generic boring people in a bar but in what century i can’t tell. the woman looks like 1920s but the man on the right side looks like 1820s. maybe he was evicted from the old west after refusing a request to “draw, pardner,” since it is faster and easier to have the robot do that.
this poster’s artificiality is less obvious than the othe’s but the scattered vertical line shelf contents and leprosy fingers give it away. and once more an excessive number of inconsistent hanging lamps, one of which is inexplicably casting a shadow, for the size of the space

i suppose it is appropriate for a restaurant named after a racketeer. ALthough that is a rather creepy slogan. is the implication that smilin’ Al here was targeted and smeared because of how GOOD he was? The bullet mark clip art commemorates the Valentine’s Day massacre, after all. The insistence on the box that their ingredients are fresh is just casual information, not because organized crime regularly pays out bribes so that its regulation-cheating front businesses can pass inspections. Only the finest cigar ash on THESE pizzas.
And it isn’t the only restaurant i have seen with his name; there was another when i walked through boston for a really silly reason in 2016

Al Capone wants ME to pay tax?

What makes him special anyway? Why aren’t there any Ted Bundy or Ted Kaczynski restaurants? Jeffrey Dahmer is even known for his uncommon taste in food. although unfortunately jeffrey is a less respectable name these days than ted.

i of course refer to convicted child pornographer and Who’s Your Caddy star Jeffrey Jones not being asked to appear in the “Beetlejuice” sequel

what a miscarriage of justice. every citizen has the right to avoid exposure to Who’s Your Caddy.

I am surprised this didn’t come up when Clinton was recently subpoeneaed to testify about his partnerships with another Jeffrey. This alone should be all the proof you need that his judgement is not to be trusted, and there was already adequate proof before that.

i saw some racist-justifying dopesial media account try to claim that shoplifting causes “food deserts,” like “some of YOU people steal so the GOOD HONEST CORPORATIONS THAT NEVER EXPLOIT ANYONE have the RIGHT if not the OBLIGATION to not sell food to ANY of you.” but i am in southern connecticut, very much not a food desert –in fact i almost wish it was more of one so a kfc might appear within 30 miles–, and I have only seen more and more stix and snack brands infecting non-snacks on the shelves over the years. anything to replace food with extra packaging or additional ostensibly edible ingredients that aren’t food. and prices still go up and the store i go to most regularly is still set to close at the end of the year.

this never happened. lunchables predated disney in being so bad at remaking itself that people who pay and get paid to be idiots regard the old bad lunchables as classic and original rather than a corporate trashtardization of stuff that used to not belong to a brand and oh joy they’ll still SELL the old ones to you at full price praise the lard. Lunchables at least are cheap but consuming them as children is probably more likely to give you health issues as an adult. Unless we consider lifetime membership in a mediocrity cult as a health issue. *I* do but “we” generally don’t. presumably the writer who claims lunchables used to be good is an adult but i doubt that person will be believing it into old age assuming it is possible to live that long if you grew up eating lunchables.

what’s that? our fascist us government bombed iran and mostly killed civilians because israel told them to? yes of course they did. they hate brown people, women and queers. iran also hates women and queers and you’d think they could all bond over that but unfortunately pigment. nevermind the shared culture of god forbidding bacon and mandating stupid hats, your skin is just a slightly different shade so that’s that. hey did you know that Islam actually considers Jesus Christ as a prophet but Judaism doesn’t? Yeah but they probably mean dark-skinned short-haired Jesus so the pretend christians in america who consider empathy, forgiveness and charity to be sins needn’t bother themselves with it.

jesus shows us what greatness is by blocking supermarket aisles so we can’t get to the lunchables

spof again. what a farbtacular yimpinkilp porfbe development

for the pain frames i decided that it doesn’t take THAT long to draw in the flower and it is an extra way to have the creature emote now that its pupils are not visible. likewise it doesn’t take long to draw the basket so long as i don’t care about it being accurate between the angles or even between frames, and for the moment I do not. of course applying this to the prance movement frames where i had initially elected not to bother will take more effort but it won’t be nearly the worst extra work that i have made for myself.

the feet move on the new attack frames because I thought just standing neutrally looked too flat. i have the power to switch which attack frames come up based on what part of its walk cycle the thing is in. presently in the game any attack uses all four frames but the variation is mostly just for show. So i can make them not just for show, though I want to make some intermediate frames and improved gestures relative to the old frames i SHOULD prioritize just getting all the old parts replaced before trying to make the creature do new things, but i almost never accomplish that.

too much snow and hardware issues to think about anything coherent.

i didn’t even get a chance to check on my favorite yard toilet and how it fared admist today’s snow until quite after midnight. it seems to be in good spirits.

This is important at a time when i am removing nemitz from one context since i need to ensure mit does not try to enter other contexts.

obviously this is still rough and proportioned because i am allergic to having anything complete and ready to use

i wonder if i should give it additional normal “death” flops or try to draw this from multiple angles like i have been making me do with other monsters. the returns on those seem to be quite diminishing but it is still always neat to suddenly see one from a weird viewpoint. but i also obviously have been spending years on largely irrelevant cosmetic elements and tend to forget that other people who might have been interested in this at one point don’t have the same connection to it as i do and probably can’t maintain interest in it as an unfinished product for 5 10 20 years like I can

while the flop was always boring, i quite liked the old “extreme death,” but it really depends on the flower. if i give the flower a stem then i can probably attach it to the prancing frames without needing to make separate left right frames just for the dumb flower. hm hm hm you can’t see the pupils following the flower in the new version, maybe i can make the head turn instead.

i was quite proud in 2004 of how i amended the doom pallete to have the more cartoony fire colors without that ruining any existing graphics, and now they have been completely overwritten, yet somewhat ironically with colors that produce a far more surreal explosion more in line with what i would prefer now anyway, and without much thought i based the new explosion on this, slightly. Not too much, since the old explosion was stolen: the fore piece is from the 1992 sega spiderman arcade game and the other is from final fight, since i was obsessed at the time with stealing graphics from other video games and it also being possible to tell where i stole them from, in contrast to now where i am obsessed with wasting way too much effort drawing everything fresh even when i myself already drew it once.

the 2004 old spof, inside the game, during its explosive fate fires out separate blood objects in a circular formation but I might have the new one launch doughnuts or maybe cupcakes. alas the only visual evidence of this appears to be terrible from inside a video i exported in 2018 but you can perhaps vaguely see purply objects apart from the purple on the spofnemitz sprite itself. this will be important dumb day.

page 4-6 of the bimshwel comic strip
a lot of green pants on this page. thankfully not pale green pants with nobody inside em. green boots as well, and they seem to be the same shades of green
THIS should conclude the gnome section and more conventional imps should appear on the next page. I don’t know what they will be doing yet but it should be easier to figure that out and easier to remember how many are there.

i actually DO know how to sneeze so i made sure to not show this gnome trying that. when i was tennish years eld i discovered that i could force a sneeze by inserting an end of an unbent paper clip into either side, and touching or rubbing it toward the middle. i don’t know why i did that the first time. any similarly sized object will work but i seem to recall using that first, and also toothpick thickness bits of wood that were in the back of my mother’s car for some reason, maybe we had transported some terrible broken furniture recently, that seems like us. in those days i liked sneezing so i would do it so much that my nose bled, probably because i was using non-smooth-edged tools, and then thankfully did not develop a long term habit out of that. so the gnome has the right idea on the last attempt. ordinarily a finger is simply too big to be treated as a mild irritant that can be sneezed out, but on a nose that size it might actually work, but alas the gnome is pulling outward instead of pushing inward.

i have a new comic strip page but i will need to sleep and then buy groceries before i can sort out the website part

////////////////////////////////////

i make incessant complainy remarks and usually, as previously mentioned, which i seem to previously mention quite a lot these days, only succeed in annoying people who are looking for a particular sort of drawn imagery rather than my annoyed irrelevant opinions but this one seemed to go over better for some reason, but then I insisted on talking anyway.

backstory already provided in the context i initially posted that image: In 2018, long after his first conviction, amidst what he was doing before his second, to not much surprise: every billionaire who persecutes queer people while citing utterly unfounded morality and “safety” concerns is in on it together. Claiming to want to “protect kids” while doing whatever necessary to stay in contact with the world’s best known child predator, and so it happened that the credited writer and chief beneficiary of Harry Potter books is shown amidst some of the “epstein files” our government deigned to release because they didn’t mention the president, seemingly quite interested in inviting Mr. Epstein to several such events as the altered image above refers to. Another file shows a mystery crony who has reason to assume Epstein knows Rowling begging Epstein to arrange an introduction with Rowling.
Also in that sludge is the megasleaze who started 4chan but i have thankfully been spared any pictures of him sucking a cigar while gloating about anti-trans-rights legislation, and his name isn’t at the pinnacle of an obnoxious fan/media mediocrity collusion cult I have had to endure for nearly three decades. Or at least not one that operates in public and is marketed directly to children though has equal popularity with child adults. fiddledeediddledorbin. Although i did see ONE picture of him WITHOUT a cigar just smirking creepily

oh i guess that is gone now. well i certainly don’t want to go out from my way to see it again. Look how long this already is, i don’t need to start reminiscing about the channy people-like-organisms who have tried to poison my life over the years in addition to that.

as someone who lived with fans of the books for 20 years, I don’t mind if you like them, or even the movies based on them. My problem is when you let the fandom and brandom consume your life. You become annoying and boring and it chips away at your ability to have good judgement outside the brand, a la mylittleponies.
i would prefer if you DIDN’T like that stuff but if it became part of your upbringing, just based on how ubiquitous it was ages before Rowling’s agenda was apparent and you weren’t cursed with aversion to products that seemed too popular too fast like i was, I will still share a planet with you.

Continuing to promote helly pothuh toward kids now, that i take issue with. In my past years I read all the Tintin books, which are peppered with questionable racism, and are rightly no longer considered children’s media. Of course the [primary credited] author Herge didn’t persecute queerness and advertise the fact that he persecutes queerness but he also got dead in 1983 when it was still mainstream to simply not acknowledge gay people existed UNLESS you were mocking them, and trans people didn’t achieve even that until the 1990s, mostly via to daytime talk shows that were dismissed as “trash tv” and “fake.” Meepwhile Tintin was so detached from reality that heterosexuality didn’t even exist within it. The most common form of mockery directed at tintin itself was to imply that the main characters were gay for each other. But in a different reality yes i absolutely believe an undead centenarian+ Herge might hate queers just as much as Rowling does.

The people i foremost NOW have a problem with are the ones paying big bucks to put harry potter all over boxes of oreos and goldfish crackers at the grocery store while michael jackson songs are passed through the sound system. Have that in your home if it has meaning to you but don’t perpetuate it further.

I thought about this after my mother told me “i feel so bad” about having harry potter stuff around for so many years, after i made similarly themed gripes on insta gram, the one page of mine she actually sees the contents of. She is not the person I want to feel bad about this!
and so i have a number of problems with a number of different creeps but on some level a lot of them who aren’t necessarily creeps didn’t have a choice about being exposed to Big Pot for years and years. I had catholicism pounded into my mind from a young age. I don’t believe in it and probably got kicked into special school foremost BECAUSE I couldn’t believe in it or peacefully coexist with people who did for 6 hours at a time. But it is always going to be THERE and influencing my thoughts. But at least that is substantially older made up garbage that can only be indirectly monetized.

but on a similar note i am not impressed now if they suddenly (in this decade, at least; that screenshot is from 2021) want to say “ACTUALLY harry potter is TERRIBLE” unless they have been saying that all along rather than tailoring their judgement to the blood in the water. I said it for 20 years but it was considered a fringe “you just hate it cuz it’s POPULAR” viewpoint when I said it. No i only MENTION hating it because it is popular, and it always seemed like it was FORCED to be popular. Maybe I just didn’t say it in long enough form. Because i don’t actually WANT to talk about it! I only DO because it enters my personal business without permission.

since I post things mostly to put them out from my mind -however ineffectively i choose an audience– and did something that screwed up my mastodon interface last week, i couldn’t remember what this comment was replying to and thought it might have been from me complaining about Chrono Cross in 2024
Really the whole idea of rigid standardized magic “school” with arbitrary 19th century british societal norms is fundamentally non-magic. But that isn’t NEWS; that aspect of the product has ALWAYS been front and center and stupid. The POINT is that the AUTHOR is a creep, and continually revealed as a creep in additional ways. There are innumerable terrible products from authors who are not necessarily creeps. Dissecting the books shouldn’t be necessary since there is an pacific garbage patch of uninspired market-driven illogic floating right at the surface.

Or at least that should be the point but when I was trying to find old posts i made on this topic i realized last time was in 2019 at which juncture the movies were already not new and inexplicable to suddenly devote an issue to of Time Magazine, a national publication that isn’t explicitly about Harry Potter and that undoubtedly has covered the topic before. But i am CERTAIN i saw ANOTHER national magazine with a cover story and picture from the exact same photoshoot several years after THAT. hey now i have a chance to check if the twitter archive i downloaded in 2024 in anticipation of deleting my account actually worked. I deleted my account because the only other users of twitter had become brands, bots, and misanthropes who will claim to like harry potter exclusively out of spite –generally the dumbest and weakest reason to like something– BECAUSE its author hates transgendereals.
obviously reaching almost nobody with my words is not a factor with me
gosh there were TWO of them right next to each other.

it does work, sort of, even though i need to fiddle with the pictures to make them legible here. but it IS funny how FAST twitter is when it isn’t trying to run the full spectrum of obnoxious background tracking processes or preload additional pages I am not trying to look at.

this is from 2020, and not my twitter page. i seem to not have bothered to include what magazine this IS but has an entire issue devoted to the birthday of a non-existent person. And that doesn’t mean the franchise is 40, just literally the character –but still uses a picture from when the kid was 10 for some reason– as if he is real and continuing to age despite the series now being exclusively spinoffs and retreads focusing on different characters or decidedly NON-aged versions of the same characters and also a central premise being that non-magic users are NOT aware magic exists. This is the ULTIMATE guide that isn’t sure about its own rules to an “enchanted life” that did not occur. What’s his secret? That he is fictional and therefore can have fictional exploits and traits. Do people who write these magazines think rowling literally invented magic or do the people who buy them just like to pretend that?
I wonder how many of these “magical” retrospectives don’t care about any of the books or any of the movies after the first one. But JK Rowling “magically” gets millions of dollars in royalties to spend on cigars, luxury cruises and lobbying to have me sent to a gulag for not liking what my urine comes out of every day regardless!
I came up with that “what my urine comes out of” line when trying to explain to my mother that i did not want her to feel bad and she either couldn’t tell what sequence of words i was saying or just wished she souldn’t.

worth noting that nine whole years BEFORE that issue, while the movies were still getting made, i saw this on the poster rack at a store that was probably walmart because I still couldn’t drive yet then and could only go shopping when someone else felt like it and would very likely end up there

did he forget to shave? can he not magically sear all that off or drink a potion to prevent it growing? He probably can, but i suspect he was prevented from doing so to make him seem more mature and “manly.” More like HAIRY Potter ha ha uh. I guess that life IS pretty magical if he grew up into haggard harold but then aged back down to max weinberg junior to be photogenic on terrible magazines a decade later. It is like he can travel through time to keep selling the same dumb stuff to the same customers at different points in their lives that they barely have by manifesting at different points in his own life that he never had at all. Hey he’s a kid like you! ugh GROWNUPS, right? Gee he’s a YOUNG ADULT just like you! Isn’t he a dreamboat? Oops you’re old but remember when HE wasn’t? Wow so cute buy this magazine full of stuff you’ve already seen please!

mcgrubin gorbo and those GAUNTLETS! FLYING out of a giant dumb thoroughly non-magic mobile phone. i am supposed to take this SERIOUSLY.

look i almost said something POSITIVE about big bucks forced-trendy media, and couldn’t get even one person to like it. although knowing twitter, by 2023, it is just possible nobody SAW this since I didn’t put a bit coin in the slot before speaking.

because nuanced appreciation is not enough. you MUST be a dumb shill for something new that really isn’t any different than old dumb stuff and may even be a dumber remake. the same sort of people who would gloat like this would have shown harry potter gloating about beating batman or twilight or whomever 12 years ago. i have no expectation that anybody involved in sonic or “bad guys” movies aren’t worse guys, they are just better at not making piece-of-trashitude outwardly their core personality trait SO FAR. presumably this was shared at me and crossed several thousand miles of existing shares before i saw it. curiously the official mass shared version lacks the dig at the harry potter franchise, but the omission was an apparently an accident, hence that mention of “the w.” “the w” being sleazespeak for “the win” even though it takes two extra syllables to speak and saves negligible space to abbreviate. You don’t do it for a reason, you just do it because other people did it, the same absence of reason that you watch shoddy movies and read shoddy books and wear shoddier hats

but nobody who needs to tell you that they “won” is ever good even IF they bother to spell out the full word. this is the same one from last week. He WANTED me to go to his page and argue at his ugly hat on a dirty carpet collection. I don’t have time for that! I barely have time to argue with myself.

late 2021: the only time reading was “cool” was when the harry potter books were forced into that role, and the conservatiest then wanted to ban THOSE and probably went right on thinking that until they heard that the author was also a bigot fake-christian too.
i consider a “real” christian to be someone who believes in compassion and forgiveness, what jesus –whom i know stuff about without having chosen to– actually preached, rather than arbitrary adherence to inane, harmful rituals, which if anything was what jesus preached against since not one of those rituals persists for any reason but to keep wealth and power in fixed, steep heirarchies. But they are so BORING that they only have fun by getting and regetting into fights that they supposedly already “won.” big T is the closest this country has had to an emperor and he still wastes state resources trying to prove he “won” the 2020 election even though he didn’t and it would be irrelevant by this point either way because his method of expressing this involved criminal acts. I continue to fight because i DON’T win but i believe in the principles of what i fight for. which is to say that i DO have SOME principles.
oh nubs now i have to talk about this. just to get it out of the way
What are gods? Beings of unlimited power and influence, who were granted that the instant of their creation. They are the most spiteful, petty beings in the universe. They constantly demand tributes to their greatness and offer paltry rewards to mortals in exchange for entertainment that may cost the mortals their lives. While gods are occasionally abusive toward each other, their limitless power and influence ensures they never die from it and inevitably they prefer the company of other nasty unkillables. And the ancient Greeks who made these stories, they meant the gods as representations of the inescapable ills and cruelties of humanity and nature that cannot be totally fixed. Stories of gods satirize powerful elites, and there are even mythical beings for that which “satirize” is named after. So eventually what the wealthy elite did was… did they consider criticism and try to be better people? No they did what they always do: they rebranded religion. No more complex pantheon, now there is just ONE god who isn’t bad, YOU’RE bad for not APPRECIATING god enough. God shouldn’t give YOU money, YOU should give god money. God is all powerful but YOU should fight wars in HIS man men name. Criticizing God is illegal! Or by gumbi it SHOULD be. In fact even criticizing prophets who deliver god’s message to you oughtta be illegal. What? In The Middle East it IS? That’s tyranny, let’s bomb them, God said we should. You also are not allowed to check god’s message to see if it really says what the prophet says it says. God knows what’s best for you even if it destroys your life and the lives of everyone important to you. Monotheism is a capitalist scam. Just like “money can’t buy happiness” and “be careful what you wish for, you just might get it” and “the sword of damocles.” propaganda with a fib-agenda from the billionaires to keep you from trying to be a hundred-thousand-aire until you are vetted as principle-less enough to accept it gratefully. Gratitude is only a princple when it is aimed above you. Be grateful to the brands, be grateful to the owners of those brands who claim to be grateful to “god” who will send their “thoughts and prayers” in lieu of adequate funding for medical coverage if someone shoots you because a brand owner said god doesn’t like you.

i raaaaaaaaaage!

(don’t watch that whole thing, it is four minutes and i can’t find the version where the singer has antlers. although if you actually read up to this point freep glark hnierp)
oh no ANOTHER scandal just TODAY I can’t handle this. this website wasn’t built for this; it wasn’t built at all. I’ll just do it now. I DO have other things i want to put here.

alright the president legally qualifies as a “staffer,” sure.
but “erroneously” means it was posted by ACCIDENT. The president-i mean the person that his senior staff vetted and hired to pretend to be the president on websites accidentally looked up this post on the platform that he OWNS and shared it and left it there for twelve hours and the press secretary accidentally defended it and insulted you for complaining. instead of quietly leaving the post there and not banning every account that shared it before the staffer saw it since the other sharers might have also done so erroneously and the one who stole and reuploaded it from twitter in the first place might have done that by accident even and these are also accidentally the only people the president who the staffer isn’t likes
I am going to die for a few hours and maybe if I live again I will click the “publish” button

(I suspect that one of those link icons on the upper left has its data entered improperly which is why i can’t get them to go where i want and also why this comic strip image is trying to show up at full size but only on the front bimshwel page and not in the sub page version where i did not try to add an extra link icon when I was fiddling with them last month since I was having so much trouble doing that)

a very condensed version of a particular recurring complaint to hopefully make me shut up about it at least for a little while
friend and foe alike have commented elsewhere to make clear that they still deal with/are anti-fact shills as bad as the foremost source material for this HAD been so maybe that at least for now they aren’t or at least do not appear to be to the degree they had been represents a more positive shift overall than I have felt like it is.

of course the “foe” in this case seems to varyingly lack reading comprehension entirely which makes me wonder if it is an automated account or a human who trusts automation above its own humanity, and certainly anyone else’s. the inability to understand or unwillingness to put forth effort to combined with unwillingness to admit weakness is also a driving factor in ai-generation usage, which also leads to more grandiose, harmful and stupid misunderstanding
possibly i confused viewers by having the perching creature be smiling. i presume its job is specifically to encourage the typer to issue angry rebuttals, and not trying to issue “ho ho, trump is FINISHED this time!” style worthless premature gloating, though a different person than the one pictured here purported to be “in full agreement with” it, despite it not having expressed an opinion, so i assume its behavior was interpreted in such a manner. Life sure is fun when there is no single way i can not communicate what i want to effectively!

page 5 of part 4 of this
which is what i MEANT to post this week instead of uneloquent impotent ice rage but that is still here if you decide that you need it, this is just also here and more prominent for the moment, as i figured even the boring gnomes were more pleasant

some people cannot seem to do anything right

a rather on the nose piece that i made without even the usual scant planning but i may still have found a way to make my meaning confusing.

i thought about how when i got “political” in the past, shills with nothing of value to say accused me of depicting “strawman” so i made the speaker here be a scarecrow since that is about the level of leadership we presently have anyway

now that i have posted it in a few places i think it may be weirding out the persons who i thought might appreciate it, but foremost i make these because i feel internally compelled to, regardless of how many marks they miss.

and then over night i made a totally different comic strip but that is also about this misery and i am not sure if i should force it here due to its topical nature and the likelihood that someone better at being seen and understood will put out there own comic strip that i will then look like i have copied badly, or delay it since it is miserable. or maybe it doesn’t matter since this site is free and nobody [should] check it more than once a week, if that often and I lost electricity during the last two storm events in december and probably will again anyway.

i have another comic strip post ALMOST ready, but

or ice could just not casually wreck, kidnap and murder so that the natural inclination of an observer would not be to mock them but that would require disobeying their orders/fundamental motivation for joining ice. much better to simply try and avoid a word with a dictionary meaning and no exact synonym amidst conditions that explicitly call for it. we aren’t interested in saving lives, after all. No literally we aren’t

if you arrest 3000 people and only 23 of them are criminals you are doing a beyond terrible job! You don’t get to BRAG about BOTH of those things! Even if you DIDN’T kill innocents and destroy their property amidst the 2977 invalid arrests!
Of course this assumes “criminal record” means “criminal,” and it doesn’t. Of those 23 with “criminal records,” how many of the “crimes” were violent and how many had the “criminals” already served time in prison for? and how many of the arresters were themselves violent criminals? yes before AND after the arrest events. And how many of them voted for a criminal who has been cheating and molesting for half a century who boasted that he COULD murder someone if he wanted to and avoid consequences, with the explicit aim of keeping him out of prison?

fiddledeediddledoodeedle i don’t know how to NOT be angry. this only gets one-dimensionaler. even if you hold the opinion that it can’t possibly be as bad people say it is, and as bad as repeated VIDEO EVIDENCE demonstrates it to be, even 25% of this is beyond what any past criminal president, at least within my lifetime, has gotten away with. send hunter biden to guantanamo bay, lock bill clinton in the pranger at colonial williamsburg if you must, but don’t pretend this puzzlewit is doing a good job or that the warnings that he had no intention of doing a remotely bearable job weren’t there.

I remember in 2016 someone with whom i at the time communicated regularly was worried, based on social media paranoia, that the incoming administration would be deporting their legal immigrant relatives and i insisted that the US Government does not have the legal authority to do that. And it doesn’t and still doesn’t but does it anyway! Obama’s ice did it a few times by ACCIDENT but trump’s does it as a matter of policy. In fact just about everything it does seems designed to hurt perceived enemies and scare them out of complaining. That is not “governing.”

And this was someone who is (or was) in Florida, alligator alcatraz land, the state shaped like a handgun wearing cowboy pants. it probably wouldn’t help anything to contact that person now and say hey remember nine years ago when i said you didn’t need to be afraid about your relatives getting kidnapped? Oops i was wrong, hope you’re panicking! In fact that might shoot YOU just for being nearby!

worthless lizard! panicking helps nobody! yes i am back in control.
We aren’t north korea yet but the person I mentioned in some previous posts under varying levels of vagueness, who endlessly accosted airport security agents for creating a north korea-like environment and insisted that i film that so he could make “a video” about it ten years ago, went on to vote for THIS and now pretends it isn’t happening. In fact he ended his longstanding refusal to go back to an airport two weeks ago, and no chance THAT is BETTER now. was it for a funeral? No just a soft-ball tournament. in fact he seems to be doing better than ever and i have to hear my mother watching his dopey videos about his dogs or whatever and then showing them to my niece. at some point it starts to feel like letting someone listen to michael jackson songs without bringing up the fact that he was PROBABLY a child molester, even if his entire life up to that point was too cut off from reality for him to recognize how bad that was. Even though realistically just voting for someone who broke all precedent of decorum whom you couldn’t EXPECT to do that just BECAUSE of precedent is not itself a breach of decorum, even in an environment where he already shredded precedent to pack the supreme court with like-minded thugs who shredded more precedent in a very negative direction. Arrrgh maybe it IS! I don’t know what to do, i don’t have a precedent for handling problems like this, and even if i did it would probably just break.

I wish the late Trump shill and confuser of reality and fiction Hulk “not really his name” Hogan could have lived to see this, as he famously appeared in a storyline wherein he REFUSED to sell the World Wrestling Federation championship to the “Million Dollar Man” Ted DiBiase, who then rigged a championship match against Andre the Giant and then bought the belt off of Andre instead.

there is, shockingly, video of this happening! youtu.be/zIE8XvGVMbg?… most striking, to me, at the end the VIRTUOUS Hogan ATTACKS the presumed corrupt or worse incompetent federation referee who officiated the crooked match so that he can also attack DiBiase and try to reclaim the belt by force. Also shocking, “Mean Gene” Okerlund somehow knew exactly what Andre the Giant was saying into the microphone despite it being totally unintelligible, as if they had a script and had rehearsed it beforehand or something.

Frustrating, my relation who was trump trump trump for maybe ten solid years has gone totally silent about that and is now all comedy all the time. I think he is funny in person but tends to seem forced in his desire to “go viral” and insistence that he has done so in the past. And fake-watching my instagram accounts with his new comedy ONLY accounts without expressing any remorse or contrition for voting for this guy twice (in 2016 I believe he voted for Gary Johnson but didn’t mind Trump winning) or trying to make sure everyone else he knew did and abusing them if they criticized it. That is better than doubling tripling and quadrupling down like the actual elected officials have done but still not improving anything. Then YESTERDAY he celebrated the million dollar DiBiase’s apparent birthday by dressing up like him for some facebook pictures, since that is a comical looking person i suppose and i have heard that an elderly aunt of ours commented to ask if he was supposed to be a leprechaun but all his comedy references are 1980s wrestling or The Sopranos, which function as amoral testosterone fantasies perpetually suspended in another time. He hides from popular culture harder than I do despite embracing the obnoxious attitudes and customs of endlessly self-promoting social media troglodytes. And he DIDN’T EVEN NOTICE that I made nearly this same million dollar man themed post also on facebook the day before. ALTHOUGH facebook also scans everything with ai trash and undoubtedly suppresses anything with a negative tone. EVEN THOUGH I started the post with “i wish” which I might have thought seemed optimistic. ALTHOUGHer I hardly know anybody on facebook and still barely see anyone’s posts, and he knows thousands or billions of people and probably sees even fewer people’s posts. *I* see *HIS* posts lately because i am checking to see what he thinks about ice murdering people just for making them mad or president screwball trying to declare war on denmark because he believes greenland is as big as it looks on a mercator projection but, topics like this are just not mentioned at all now. Which i SUPPOSE is better than outwardly approving and this isn’t the sort of person to silently approve, but he has also never apologized for anything wrong he ever did either, that I can remember. Whereas every day i am dwelling about something horrible i did before and wondering if i should try and amend it, if i can, which i generally cannot.

Apparently this sort of thing is “normal” which I should be glad about after him only taking cues from Alex Jones for so long, but since Alex Jones has passed from fringe to normalcy, GOP sociopathy is also normal despite the sociopathy being at a hundred year high, and most who voted for them before will vote for them again and passionless ghouls with no long term memory never fail to find themselves “on the fence” I am not glad at all!

another hogany loose end that i apparently posted about in july and never thought to mention here but now is effective for an intermission between tiresome trump stuffs:

excuse me her name is NOT “Linda Hogan.” Hogan is a fake name given to Terry specifically in 1979 because Vince McMahon Sr. wanted an Irish wrestler and so the next wrestler he saw became Irish. Quite odd that the McMahons have naming authority over the offspring and spouses of wrestlers even after their divorces and after those wrestlers are dead, and that this article points out Terry’s real name but not Linda’s.

that being “Claridge.” although wikehhhpedia gives “Linda Hogan” as her primary name, it also indicates that despite a 1983 marriage to the wrestler called but never legally named and thus never legally married as Hogan, nobody called Linda “Hogan” until 2005, and that she was divorced in 2009. So she “was” really only Linda Hogan for four years at most. Certainly far longer than I was ever Linda Hogan but still only a tiny fraction of her life time.

also on dumb websites i have dwelled on having a different person’s approval and I should not. Apart from some subjective gripes, i have noticed that just like my semi-fascist brothers he never regrets anything. Also he celebrated when charlie kirk was murdered. I am not and was not sad that Kirk is dead but killing him accomplished nothing positive because he is exactly like billions of other smug entitled jerk bullies across time and space, and murdering him only convinces his followers more that they are right. President Trumpo though is singular. He is not a true conservative. Conservatives live foremost to follow instructions from presumed higher powers, who can at best aspire to be popes of wealthy racist misogynist crumbaggery. Trump believes himself to BE the higher power. I at one time worried about JD Vance taking over if Trump became dead, ideally from natural causes or at least unnatural causes of his own creation, falling down stairs, getting hit in the head by a golf ball, trying to eat a box of gold nuggets, like that. But Vance is at worst a nazist like we have seen before who at least believes in something, even it is only obeying a vengeful death god.

Trump is more like an evil jester from a video game (i think all the evil jesters I have seen have been from video games). It isn’t clear what he believes in or if he believes in anything at all because his announcements make no sense and don’t consider reality. And true conservatives obey him just because obeying is what they do, which is the ultimate danger of someone like trump being in charge. Even when the cronies knowingly feed their master false information about the world they still obey his warped orders that are based on information that they knew to be false before they gave it. They are morons or are malicious but they are utterly uncreative and terrified of doing anything that hasn’t been done before; that is why they love AI-generation and sequels so much. Trump isn’t creative but he has a Yogi Berra like ability to say something stupid in a profound way that nobody else would but hasn’t been adequately conditioned to realize it is stupid, even if for a few decades it seemed like he was willing to be depicted as foolish if it got him on television; he surely already had cronies then lying to him about how he was perceived. eh uh this is nothing new but i need to type it in a box like this to restrain it elsewhere. That is also nothing new! I may be too old to do new and good things. Fortunately i will never be in government.
