Max said, "BE STILL!"
and tamed them with the magic trick
of staring into all their yellow eyes without blinking once
and they were frightened and called him the most wild thing of all
This is so weird, so far no one from USA Today has even signed up for the CLT. They wrote an entire article misleading readers about how easy our math section is and saying it is middle-school math, so we are offering anyone who works at USA Today $10,000 if they can simply get a perfect on the CLT math section. Based on their article, it should be easy! Something is off, either the article was lying or no one at USA Today can do middle-school math.
Just Announced: Greyhawk: Crown of the Witch Queen, a full-length adventure set on the world of Oerth.
It expands the story of Drelnza, the vampire daughter of Iggwilv the Witch Queen better known to many players as Tasha, first introduced in Gary Gygax's 1976 classic S4: The Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth.
Conservatives keep failing at creating culture.
Daily Wire had real momentum and good projects, then buried the Pendragon Cycle behind a paywall and watched Bent Key flop. Reaction is not enough. Culture is won by telling stories that move people, not by commenting on the ones Hollywood already made.
Mel Gibson proved it with The Passion of the Christ. Hollywood tried to kill it and it still broke through because the art was strong. We need more artists like that and more people with real capital, like Elon Musk, willing to fund them. Create the culture instead of just complaining about the one we lost.
Every step was designed to inflict maximum harm:
Splicing HIV into a coronavirus.
Blocking access to hcq and ivm.
Removing NAC from the shelves.
No early treatment.
Respirators that kill 90% of patients.
Seeding nursing homes with Covid+ patients.
Blanket DNR orders for the disabled.
"15 days to flatten the curve" that slowed the rate of natural immunity.
Closing schools for two years.
Masks that reduce oxygen.
Shutting down gyms.
Keeping liquor stores open.
Closing hiking trails and parks thus preventing people from getting vitamin D.
Remdesivir and Paxlovid that are expensive, useless, and deadly.
The most toxic and deadly vaccines in history on a new platform that will never work.
Billions of dollars spent on propaganda to convince people to accept every step of this nefarious plan.
Firings, censorship, and blacklisting of critical thinkers.
Covid is a world war, launched by the ruling class, against humanity.
Villains, Heroes, and Losers
I’ve been thinking about why so many things in our society feel like they’re falling apart.
(For example: morals, politics, everyday standards, even how people treat each other).
A big part of it seems to come down to this:
Good men stopped enforcing the standards they already knew were right.
They stayed quiet.
Every generation has had its weird or extreme voices. The difference now is that those voices are being allowed to take the lead.
Too many men today are so worried about being called controlling or abusive that they just stop using any authority at all. They freeze.
There are three kinds of people:
-Villains who actively tear things down.
-Heroes who step in and stop the damage.
-Losers who merely see the damage, tell their friends about it, and then do nothing else. They stop at the complaint.
The important questions become:
What separates the loser from the hero? And how does a loser start becoming a hero?
The first step is honest and uncomfortable.
You have to admit you’re currently acting like a loser.
That’s exactly what I had to do—and I’m still doing it.
As a first step, a loser needs to own up to the fact that he is acting like a loser.
That is what I did (and am doing).
I realized that no one changes the world by mere shouting and opining.
You change the world by doing that + living out your stated values + pushing your brothers to do the same (even if it makes them mad for awhile).
I looked for models of how to become more than what I was.
I changed.
No one is going to change the world in any way this week without first finding some small way to change *himself* this week.
Heroes don’t wait for the perfect moment or someone else’s permission.
Let's be clear: Republicans claiming "equal protection" actually mean they want to make it legal to ARREST women who get an abortion.
Republicans were never going to stop at overturning Roe. This is the future they want, and we need to take them seriously.
Here’s exactly why I think Republicans are weak:
When the Democrats get back in charge, they’re going to do whatever they have to do to make sure their agenda passes. They’re going to whip their people into a frenzy and make sure this country is as far left as possible. That’s their goal and that’s what they’re going to do.
Meanwhile, the Republicans are in power *right now* and can’t get out of their own way. We did our part to vote them in, but they can’t do a blessed thing to make this country stronger. John Fetterman has done more than most of them.
It’s sickening and makes me pessimistic about the direction of this country. Tell these Republicans to re-discover their balls and get shit done.
