Although eerie and creepy at times ...I really needed a few chuckles. Thanks! Enjoyed the read. 😂

I've actually read that book Gates is holding. But nowhere in it does it ask What If Eugenicist Bill Gates bought everything in the world and shoved you full of toxic mRNA and faecal water

I had an absolutely insane exchange on Berenson's stack this evening (the Trump post) where I began to be SURE I was talking to someone's pet machine intelligence bot and started to prod it/them with nonsense to see if they'd continue to respond repetitively and meaninglessly. I eventually got it/them to loop.

If that was a flesh and blood person, holy crap.

I've pushed people through their circles before. It's amusing a few times and hopefully results in some introspection. But it's also mean at some point, so I hold back more than I used to.

No, no, I'm telling you, I genuinely thought this was a fairly crude chatbot at a certain point. I was teasing it/them because they'd copy-pasted the same exact comment, slightly altered at the end, twice in the thread, and I like visibly mocking and identifying bots so people don't give them clicks. But it kept responding. And actually looped around.

I am still not 100% certain this was a person. It was a hilariously weird bit of evening's entertainment.

The dada engine has improved. Wikepedia: "Postmodernism Generator". I vote "not human". In contrast, Its substack article may be real, not sure.

Damn, I really like sweet baby rays sugar free bbq sauce. This can't be product placement, can it? That would have to be the worst marketing decision of all time. Who wants to eat robot food?

Thank you. Ordered some seed from Azure.

I mostly wanted to thank you though for NOT including any photo I was afraid I was about to see after the sentence with both ‘Hunter Biden” and “bottom” in it.

On the other hand the Fauci pillow was more disturbing.

This was a very entertaining post, thank you. 😄👏

All the fires at food plants is very concerning. I hope people are stocking.

Not to piss ni anyones cereals but there's a world of difference between a plant burning down due to arson and the plant reporting a fire.

If US law and insurance rules are anything like ours, every incident (like a fire, even if it is a minor one like in a wastebasket, put out directly by an employee) must be reported and in case of fire, the fire department notfied, possibly even the OHSA if it is directly related to work.

But looking at it like that doesn't serve a narrative of societal collapse, nefarious plans or anything, it's just mundane and boring. So various chicken little's only report "fires at food processing facilities up xx%!" - not a lie, just not the truth either.

Drama sells, normality doesn't.

I think the totality of evidence worldwide indicates severe food shortages are now inevitable.

Since you share my fondness for looking at the whole picture; you really should take at look at this early bad boy, from Yuval Harari's mate - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ov_Jw02uHGY

Books: Hidden Images, Red Scared, Private View!

They have the power to speak out. I can only conclude the intention is to seed conspiracy theories or as a last ditch Nuremberg insurance excuse. There's tons of them.

One of the best of these was that flying monkey Olivia Troye who wore giant crosses on her interviews with MSM, replete with a little Saint Fauci picture on the wall behind her in her office as she was interviewed from home. 😂🤣

Talking of which, since Feb 2022 the shelves had been NOT fully stocked with toilet paper in out supermarkets in SW Sydney, Australia. Quite often they were bare. At least they were locally made....

Expand full comment

Fun fact: toilet paper is almost always locally made. The finished product uses so much space that it’s uneconomic ti transport it a long way.

Expand full comment

Not so. Australia imports plenty of toilet paper from China. . I've seen them on shelves. I am holding one roll made in China that I bought many years ago. Brand "Zijnhua". It does not flush well....

However, the majority are locally made. They are soft and strong. They don't easily rupture in situ...

I didn’t say it was all locally made! Interesting that it’s so cheap ex factory in China thst a profit is turned by importing it from China.

Locally made is not a guarantee of supplies, because pulp does need importing unless you’re a primary producer country.

I find myself going to a very dark place, wondering what sort of meat Zuckerberg smokes. I really didn't want ever to have to think about that.

Never mind Sweet Baby Rays is a lot of high-fructose corn syrup. Meta is as meta does? Surely if he is on a regimen of life-extending he would be more informed? As a contractor too I have built nicer fences than that for people who are worth less than Mr Z makes in a meta-second. Those shelves too? Are they really in a house Mr Z lives in? I am dubious.

And gawd, was Whitmer the model for that monkey as archetypal death-mask over Mr Moderna's left shoulder? Fauci too, complaining about the separation of powers. Is he going to tell us now that the CDC is just a subsidiary of the WHO, which shall be the sole arbiter of the Law?

Why do I have the urge to buy as many vegetable seeds as I would need for the next several years, a ton of dry beans, and pre-order for 2023 an orchard?
