Talk to a few young people and you will instantly see this is true.
The future really is going to be a bunch of people milling about, watching fruit people videos, and collecting income from Medicaid as ‘caregivers’ for their grandparents while a tiny minority of people (<1%) are tasked with making sure the lights stay on and everyone doesn’t starve.

Hahahahha LETS FUCKING GOOO
You just can’t make this up
Rep. Ro Khanna sold Nvidia $NVDA perfectly at the top
One month later, CEO Jensen Huang admitted to an affair with a suspected Chinese spy
$NVDA is down 26% since
Khanna sits on the House committee that investigates China’s attempts to steal US tech
To be fair, he's said his trades are run by a 3rd-party
But he's also stated “Members of Congress should not be trading stocks”
We need to shift our thinking about voters. There's a lot of vibing and very little thinking. This is what happens when no one reads anymore.
Why Vibes Now Matter More Than Ideas In Recent Elections

To all the doomers screaming their cowardly moral equivalence bullshit at me this morning about how nothing changed because the parties are the same... you can give it a rest. Your black pilled nonsense already convinced enough smooth brains to stay home yesterday. You accomplished your mission. Save your good material Useful Idiot shilling for communists for '28. Tucker Carlson will have a new download for you before then.
The rest of us can recognize that yes, the republicans did suck. They sucked at a lot. They're a bunch of corrupt bums who squandered the greatest comeback in political history. They did a bunch of dumb crap. And the stuff they were right on, they did a shitty job explaining their actions to the people. HOWEVER, the other side is still so much fucking worse. I'll take dumb and corrupt over actively maliciously working hard to destroy me, everyone I love, and everything I hold dear.
But people are stupid and short sighted. Gas is expensive so let's vote for the party that shuts down refineries and makes gas expensive even when we're not at war. Whatever. I can't figure people out.
Everybody else, get your personal shit together as much as possible. Next two years will suck. After that America will have to decide if we want the Supreme Court packed, no borders, and enough illegals and dead people voting to ensure eternal one party rule forever.
Please spare me the whole sanctimonious crying in the comments about how you are too pure to vote for the lesser of two evils. You live on Earth. In the real world the primaries are where you pick your best, and you have the luxury of worrying about character and morals. After that you're an adult, and you hold your nose and vote for the asshole who is going to vote for stuff you want, or against the asshole who will vote to ruin you. If that's still too complicated, vote against the guy who's supporters will shoot you or burn your home down for disagreeing with them.
Democrats abide by this basic principle. That's why they win. In Texas the scumbag R lost to a gay communist weirdo D. But in Michigan the from all accounts the fairly plain vanilla R lost to a psychopath D who is friends with literal fucking terrorists.
But, but, but, my moral equivalence! MY SOUL IS TOO PURE!
Brother, we are dealing with literal fucking communists, the all time world champions of doing absolutely anything to achieve victory, no matter what laws they need to break, or how many million people they need to kill... and they are currently in an alliance with militant Islamists, who also have zero moral compunction about taking your shit and killing people in order to reach their goals. History has demonstrated that either of these will gleefully throw open the floodgates to hell. Your traditions and norms mean nothing to them. Once the Useful Idiots cease to be useful, you get bulldozed into a ditch with the rest of us.
Oh well. I'm hoping best case scenario is gridlock and show trials for two years. That's best case. After that? Who knows. Texas, please, speaking on behalf of sane America, for the love of God, get your shit together before the presidential election. Go slap the fuck out of your apathetic friends and neighbors. Without you guys, the rest of us are FUCKED.
P.s. Buy those NFA items while you can!

Here’s the thing about spotting the horrendous, soulless AI-generated writing infecting every corner of the internet now: it’s not just about the words — it’s about the patterns.
And once you start noticing them, you can’t unsee them.
The unnecessary em dashes. The polished transitions. The examples given in groups of three.
The weird metaphors that kind of make sense but kind of don’t — like a parachute opening inside a submarine.
The load-bearing use of the term “load-bearing.”
The random one sentence paragraphs.
The way a bunch of bland gibberish is quietly reframed as a profound insight.
The on-going and un-necessary hyphenation of every-day words that really don’t need it.
The cliches.
Read that again.
Cliches.
Louder for people in the back.
Tons of cliches.
That’s not a typo.
Sit with that for a moment.
And the biggest red flag? Asking yourself a question and answering it.
Because honestly? No sentient human writes like this.
And truthfully? If you can’t identify these red flags, you might not actually be sentient yourself.
Because really? If this formatting doesn’t immediately strike you as awkward and artificial, it means you don’t read books.
Ever.
Seriously.
But here’s where it gets interesting:
It doesn’t.
The point has been made but I’ll keep going. That’s what AI writing is all about.
Let’s delve into real problem. It isn’t the technology. It’s the people using it because they’re too retarded to generate an original thought of their own.
That’s not thoughtfulness. It’s intellectual laziness wearing digital makeup.
It doesn’t make the internet more fun. It makes me want to throw my phone in the river and forsake all of humanity and live as a hermit in the woods for the rest of my life.
Seriously this shit fills me with despair. I’m not kidding.
And the distinction matters.
Especially when you’re saying the distinction matters without actually drawing a distinction.
But here’s what nobody tells you.
When you ask a machine to manufacture your personality, you’re not just automating your writing. You’re quietly announcing that you’re a boring, insipid dork with nothing interesting to say.
Let that sink in.
The uncomfortable truth?
AI didn’t turn these people into tedious midwits.
It quietly revealed what they already were.
And perhaps — just perhaps — that’s quietly the most important takeaway of all.
But what do you think? Let's unpack this together in the comments. 👇

Actual adults vote for Republicans. That statement may anger you, but I’ll say it again; those with a level of discernment beyond that of a child vote for Republicans.
I don’t do a massive amount of politics on here, or truthfully, in real life. I have no love for politicians, they are merely a necessary evil. Why the statement?
Actual adults understand a few things…
The current Democratic Party refuses to accept the science of biology, stymy the flow of illegal aliens, identity voters through ID, recognize your Right to firearms (as outlined in the 2nd Amendment), and reject the ideas of Karl Marx as incongruent with the Constitution. They play games on the State level to block those who seek to reveal corruption and fraud. They literally named a law after Nick Shirley to prevent others like him from revealing massive scams in their State like he did in Minnesota. These are not the actions of rational adults, but rather emotional, power-hungry children who seek to upend our Nation as long as they personally benefit.
I am under no delusion that Republicans will deliver everything I want. They have been tepid at best the past two years. I’m also no Trump sycophantic. Many of his positions would have been considered middle-ground in the 1990’s Democratic Party. He and the Party he leads have managed to deliver a few victories in areas that matter. The southern border is the most secure that it’s been in my lifetime. The NFA is currently starving for oxygen. Some common sense has been applied to preventing men from parading as women to crush their athletic dreams and act as government endorsed voyeurs in bathrooms.
Trump is bombastic and publicly treats the Office of the Presidency as a celebrity position. Behind the scenes, it’s clearly different. I highly approve of some of the moves he’s made and shake my head in frustration at others.
Trump is not on the ballot this election. Who is? Local representatives and managers, many House Representatives and some Senators; for some of you Mayor or County Sheriff. These are the people whose decisions will truly impact your life regardless of what the man who is not up for reelection does.
Rational adults vote for the representation that doesn’t promise to steal what you have, give it to noncitizens, take away your right to self-defense, upend our founding documents, and allow the replacement of equal justice with Sharia law. The current Democratic Party endorses ideas that indoctrinate your children into ideas that prevent you from ever having grandchildren. They support that which will literally end your family line; they gain power and you lose your legacy. At this point in time, that rational option is by and large the Republican Party.
Will Republicans likely fail to live up to all of their campaign promises? Beyond a doubt. A mature adult knows that and yet understands the opposite choice is guaranteed destruction. Naïve children make choices on emotions, “the feels”, promises of free stuff and believing that politicians won’t disappoint them. Rational adults stoically weigh the options based on projected course and values.
The Iran war will not immediately end no matter which way you vote. Gas prices also don’t turn on a dime. No matter who you choose, inflation will not immediately disappear and Congress will spend money. I have my gripes, as do you. They are valid. National suicide is not the answer.
Until the Democrats produce another JFK like option, eschew their current values and platform, you must do your job as a rational adult and block them at the voting booth and in the public square. Anything less is puerile.
Great book from @KeenanPeachy that offers some important reminders of what we're dealing with right now.

“Abdul you recently did a 12 city tour with an Imam who said he would not rest until the streets of Dallas ran red with the blood of the infidels. Do you condone this rhetoric?”
“Come on. That’s crazy.”
“But do you?”
“This campaign is about affordability.”

The hateful caricature portraying straight, white males as useless and toxic has become so normalized that even otherwise conservative women have taken it up.

Senate Republicans want to lose the Senate. They want to just sit around making deals with Democrats and avoiding any accountability for what happens.
They want an environment where they can cast fake votes that allow them to look like they’re doing the right thing while getting what they want from Democrats—amnesty, ICE defunding, Trump impeachment.
A minority Senate where they can “vote right” but let Democrats get whatever they want is a dream scenario for McConnell and Thune.
Don’t let them let get away with it.
Vote like your continued existence depends on victory. Because it does.
The black pillers will tell you to stay home because nothing matters. But black pilling is gay. And giving puke RINOs what they want is also gay.
Don’t give Senate Republicans what they want, which is a Congress entirely run by Democrats. Put them back in charge and then make them miserable by forcing them to show up to work every day to secure the border and reform elections.
If you want to make Senate Republicans like McConnell and Thune miserable and angry, vote to keep them in the majority. It is the ultimate revenge for their nonsense.
Exactly right. I see this on the teaching side of things as well. Don't get your kid a smartphone and have them prepare for some of these tests a little more. It isn't a big deal.
I want to be clear that I am 100% in favor of severely cracking down on the omnipresent favoritism, tribalism and generalized scamming Indians take part in and my preferred method would be to deport most of them.
BUT
White people are absolutely not competing at the places where the playing field is level, and I have a very good example.
I live in a very good public school district and there are several advanced academic programs starting from 3rd grade onward. This district is ~90% white and affluent. It starts with CogAT testing in 2nd grade. This is a pretty standardized IQ test. What Indians and Asians have long understood is that, especially in younger kids, these tests are mostly about familiarity. If your kid is average to above average IQ, a relatively small amount of drilling and practice will allow them to be 95th+ percentile.
I saw this starkly. I purchased a practice test subscription for my son. His first time through he was like 80th percentile. The second time, he was 98th. In the live test he was 99th. He's a very smart kid, but the simple familiarity was obviously a huge factor and all it took was like $70 and a few hours, spread over a month. Because of this score he was invited to the district's gifted and talented program, which he has now been in for 3 years.
Remember when I said that this district is 90% white. The racial makeup of this program is about 40% white. The majority is Indian and East Asian kids. I know for a fact that the selection criteria is completely merit based. The highest test scorers get in. This is obviously not because Indians and Asians are just naturally smarter. Their parents simply did what I did and got their kids prepared for the test.
On top of this there are endless after-school programs for engineering, coding and other STEM focused stuff, as well as more artistic things. My son has done a couple of the robotics engineering ones, as well as chess club. Here the racial makeup is even more lopsided. In one robotics program, there were ~12 kids and my son was one of two white kids. The rest were Indian/East Asian. Same goes for his chess club. These are 100% elective and non-exclusive clubs. Anyone can sign up and they are completely free.
The point of all this is to say that white folks, even affluent ones are mailing it in. They aren't failing to be tiger moms or whatever, they are utterly handing their kids over to the school and taking no extra interest at all. They are railing about subversive teachers out of one side of their mouths, then delegating 100% of their children's education to them out of the other.
Do I love that schooling in America has been trending toward this more Asian model of test competitiveness? No, I don't. But this is the reality and frankly, it isn't nearly as onerous to succeed in these environments as people believe.
Do I understand that white people are overtly discriminated against at the college level? Yes, I do. If my son were to apply to MIT today, he would be heavily disadvantaged for being a white male. If he were to apply for a tech job today, he would be heavily disadvantaged for being a white male. I understand and hate all of this.
BUT
Things change more rapidly than you can imagine. We have no idea what this landscape will look like in 5, 10, 15 years. The only thing you can really impact is what you do now. You can get your children ready for whatever outcome you deem best for them, right now. What you cannot do is just hand them over to the schools and somehow expect that they will rise to the top. Unless they are truly giga genius level, the climb up this ladder is systematic and involves pretty easy things like test prep, extracurriculars and involvement and oversight from YOU.
My son is not some overscheduled robot. He has lots of free time to just be a kid. He plays football and baseball and other sports. He is expected and kept accountable to do well in school, which he does.
If you want the white man to maintain and ascend, then you must do more than the bare minimum. We can work to deport millions and raise our children to compete at the same time.
Yep, I thought I was misreading the numbers, too. But no, it really is that bad. And no on seems to be talking about it much.
Just 2% of the newly created jobs went to men. I had to fact check @everymancomm on that one—it sounded unbelievable. But it’s true.

King is the most artificially propped up and rehashed by Hollywood author there's ever been. If you look on IMDB there's 442(!) movies and tv shows adapted from his stories. And interestingly enough the overwhelming majority of those projects didn't perform well or flat out bombed. But they keep on adapting them, over and over. This is what, the fifth version of Carrie?
For each IT or Green Mile there's years and years of mediocre performers and flops. Don't take my word for it, just google Stephen King movie flops.
In fact, King has about a dozen under performers and bombs for each hit, a ratio that would've rendered anyone else dead meat in Hollywood long ago, but he can basically blow his nose and some production company will immediatly option that Kleenex.
For perspective, King had more things adapted than the following mega selling authors put together:
James Patterson-40
Michael Crichton-62
Tom Clancy-47
JK Rowling-47
George RR Martin-42
Michael Connelly-17
John Grisham-25
Toni Morrison-2
Frank Herbert-28
Nora Roberts-12
Nicholas Sparks-24
Dean Koontz-24
Anne Rice-16
James Michener-21
Mary Higgins Clark-30
And that was just a few minutes of me thinking up contemporary mega sellers (top 100 in America) who'd had a lot of movie and TV adaptations and plugging them into IMDB until I got close (437). And a bunch of those have sold more books than King too.
The only mega selling author I found in my quick search who got even sorta close was Tolkien at 117 which sounded really high for what productions I could think of, but turns out that's because he gets a writing credit on every video game and cartoon too, and there's been a lot of those.
Now, this isn't me bashing on King's writing. I like his stuff better than several of those mega sellers I listed above. But when one dude's stuff gets farmed orders of magnitude more than his contemporaries that's a sad statement on the lame predictability of Hollywood.
Meanwhile there are thousands of great authors with original stories who will never option anything to Hollywood. Unless you are one of the Airport Book Store level author mega sellers, Hollywood doesn't know you exist. And even when one of us normal working stiffs get something optioned by a production company, they option like a hundred things for each one that actually gets put into production, so it's a roll of the dice. (I'm on my fifth option but Larry Correia-0).
This isn't weird. The vast majority of authors will never see any of our work adapted by Hollywood. I'm not gonna bother looking these all up on IMDB, but off the top of my head (correct me if I'm wrong):
Laurell K. Hamilton-0
David Drake-0
Eric Flint-0
David Weber-0
John Ringo-0
Faith Hunter-0
Larry Niven-0
Jerry Pournelle-0
Then you've got writers with huge bodies of work, and they maybe get one or two things made over their entire career (or sadly, right after they die!)
Jim Butcher-1
Dan Wells-1
Jonathan Maberry-1
Dan Simmons-1 (How?!? The dude was a fucking genius!)
Neal Stephenson-0 (another how?!? but 2 in production supposedly)
Brandon Sanderson-0! (but a couple in production, and all he had to do was a $47,000,000 kickstarter to get Hollywood to finally notice him!) :D
Then I know a bunch of guys who have 1, but that's because of Love, Death, Robots episodes on Netflix. Like, I can't stand John Scalzi, I think he's a putz, but even he's got far more interesting ideas Hollywood could adapt than the seventh version of a tired Stephen King story.
It's like the Pawn Stars meme. "Hey Hollywood, can you give me some new and interesting stories?" "Naw, best I can do is another version of something Stephen King wrote in the 1970s."
If you think you know her story, you're dead wrong. Carrie, a new series from Mike Flanagan, based on my novel arrives October 7 on Prime Video.
