folie à fuck off

Do you think these mopheads think twice about their productions once the work is completed and the checks are signed? Do they have any kind of fondness for it? Memories? Do they give a shit at all, is what I’m getting at, when they are the avatars for such piss like this-

I haven’t watched it and I won’t because I already know it’s a waste of my finite time on earth. Why would I, the poster tells me everything I need to know. These overexposed real-life clowns don’t do anything original or thought provoking. They’re both shit-eating humiliation fetishists who get off on stoking resentful white supremacist sentiment for the hell of it. Neither of them are stupid but they are irredeemable parasites.

The first film was a cringe fest meant to appeal to, I don’t even know who – nixonians? I did actually watch it, so I feel confident in saying I found it to be forgettable and just the most cynical, disorganized, and nihilistic thought bubbles strung together to form a “movie”. Phoenix can act, but he doesn’t have to any more, and I’m very much over the complex-radioactive-“unknowable” psychotic thing he does. We get it and have seen it in enough iterations already.

Gaga, on the other hand, cannot act. Who is telling her she can? Is it a bit she is in on? I loved A Star Is Born with Judy Garland more than I thought I would, so out of morbid curiosity, I watched ten minutes or so of the 2018 version. Gaga’s acting was not pleasant to witness, and she came across as awkward more than anything. (Not to mention Bradley Cooper’s presence who just makes me stabby.) Then I found out she actually practiced the accent she used in House of Gucci which I refuse to subject myself to at length.

She recently revealed that playing Patrizia Reggiani, the Italian socialite convicted of hiring a hitman to assassinate her ex-husband, Maurizio Gucci, was a process of “becoming” rather than an “imitation”. She told Vogue that she stayed in character for 18 months, speaking with an accent for nine months of that. “Off camera,” she said. “I never broke. I stayed with her.”

Like, really? It sounds like she’s channeling a stock pile-pack of “accents” that can just be labeled as Foreign for all anyone cares. It’s so common in Anglo crap and one of the reasons I tend to be out of the loop on so much, unbearable like nails on chalkboard. It’s unconvincing and insulting, this inconsistent and unsettling Italiano-Russian-Indian-New Jersey ayy I’m walking here thing. Though she’s certainly not the first to do it, it’s remarkably awful and embarrassing to think about anyone who considers themselves an artist committing it to film, yet she has loads of defenders. I don’t get it, I find it to be shockingly bad.

So the the only explanation I can come up with that makes any amount of sense to me is that these are two “working actors” who enjoy being shit-eating sadomasochists and degrading the rest of us with their shit shows. I understand these are vehicles to telegraph ruling class fantasy to us greasy, unwashed useless good-for-nothings who can’t even carry out a protracted anything and the utility of reading them as such, but I’m too tired to care and pay close attention. It’s so obvious from the advertisements and menacing publicity alone, especially as the full-scale assault continued to rain down on Gaza at almost one year exactly when the film was released. Most importantly, to me, neither of them need to continue, yet they do. For this, I am happy to read it was a commercial failure.

And for that, they humiliated themselves for nothing even the rulers cared about, those they dedicated their mugs and public image to in their pursuit of complete conquest. Phoenix continues on, suggesting he could be someone who would really try to fuck a computerized smart house and the internet of things connecting it complete with literal clown paint (or at least as an inspiration for “incel” psychopaths) and Gaga as inflatable escort on the spot with work that has aged her beyond her years. I don’t know that she can go in on that eye adjustment again without some ocular damage.

There is a real shared madness between the two offscreen and all their sponsors and enablers vying for relevance under a ruling order that plans on cutting them off, perhaps sooner rather than later if the destruction of even the heavy hitters’ abodes in Southern California is any indication. Again, their persistence despite their combined net worth being in the hundreds of millions points toward a limited number of conclusions about their motivations – disdain and hatred for, and mockery of, their audiences that reflects the demo- and genocidal order they advertise for without shame. May the whole Pentagon-Hollywood operation also go down in flames this year, and not just as part of planned demolition, but due to continued public rejection of their obscenity. Ruling class propping up of their previous mediocrities and letting this fall flat without extensive PR maybe points to a concern about their protestations about us fools even existing being “too much”.

fuc Buc-ee’s

The other day I read quickly in my Facebook feed that Mebane, North Carolina, will become home to the first Buc-ee’s “convenience store” (nothing about this seems convenient, even to its, er, “fans”) slash travel center in the state. In fact, expansion of I-40 to accommodate its alleged 25,000 visitors per day (!) has been underway, seemingly in starts and stops familiar to most of us governed by corrupt departments of transportation across the country, since late last summer-

There has already been some grading work done and electricity added at the site off Interstate 85/40 to prep it for Buc-ee’s.

Mebane Mayor Ed Hooks said in the next few weeks that the North Carolina Department of Transportation will soon get to work on the project that will help Mebane handle the traffic Buc-ee’s is expected to draw.

“There’s already been a lot of surveying done, so they’re on the verge of getting started with great anticipation by a lot of people, and we’re excited about it,” Hooks said.

A couple of things pop out as remarkable just at first glance: travel centers used to be constructed to make long-distance travelers’ and truckers’ lives on the road a little easier, even in their pursuit of profit, and not for a cult following (WHY!) to shop ghastly branded merchandise-knick knacks; and this is pushing forward as the official response to the situation in Western North Carolina stagnates and more inhabitants are sucked into the abyss of destruction and neglect – more accurately, state- and federal-sanctioned depopulation. Like with the fires that recently blazed through Southern California, drones of branded climate-concerned doomers and scolds appeared at once to tell us this was climate catastrophe doing its thing and doing nothing else of note for people who are still suffering, who still haven’t been able to account for all their dead months after the fact.

But some more serious people – actual activists – have not only offered a fuller analysis of the toll on the environment in total, but they also worked extensively to try to prevent this expansion into North Carolina at all. From the above-linked 7 Directions of Service article that cited Buc-ee’s expectation to see 25,000 patrons a day, they explain that

Studies show emissions from the concentration of just 200 running vehicles can create harmful conditions for breathing. Buc-ee’s 25,000 estimated daily visitors will result in an air pollution hot-spot. The location is home to multiple schools, a church and low-income neighborhoods, and is already overburdened with heavy air pollution from semi-truck emissions and Stericycle, a medical waste incinerator

The entirety of the great Occaneechi Trading Path ran from Virginia to Alabama, and a significant section of the path in Mebane, NC is threatened by Buc-ee’s.

The Occaneechi Trading Path was more than just a means for trade for Southeastern Native American communities. It was a way of sharing language, stories, technology and culture…

Buc-ee’s inescapable billboards and cheap trinkets will only draw visitors away from downtown. As one elder put it, “when tourists are shopping at Buc-ee’s, they’re not shopping in Mebane.”

Hopefully their efforts will prevail in the end as the above-quoted article from Fox 8 News dated January 2, 2025, seems to fret about the project being announced a year ago with little headway. It goes on to quote some alleged locals-

“Just ready for it to be here. There was a lot of opposition about it, but I visited one. We spent two hours at the one in Georgia,” said Joseph Holt, a resident.

One woman said she enjoys visiting Buc-ee’s in Florida, and she looks forward to having one around five miles away from her.

“It has everything … I like their snacks. I like their deli. I like their candies,” said Loretta Jeffries, a resident.

Does it really take so little for fellow citizens to erase the downtrodden from their minds in pursuit of…snacks and candles? How does one shop a convenience store for two hours? Another item of note is that it took Texas courts to rule that Buc-ee’s couldn’t force at-will employees to pay back bonuses without an unconscionable notice given, or even if they were fired:

If you quit or get fired in less than four years, or if you don’t give Buc-ee’s written notice at least 6 months before quitting, you have to pay back all of the retention payments you received, plus interest and attorneys’ fees.

In other words, you can check out any time you like, but you can never leave.

That was the basic deal in Rieves v. Buc-ee’s, a case decided by the Houston Court of Appeals (14th District).[1] Rieves, the employee, received about $67,000 in retention payments, paying federal income taxes on them, but quit the job three years in. Buc-ee’s sued her to recover the $67,000 plus interest and attorneys’ fees.

The native elders are telling us the way if we only listen, but I don’t know that it will work out for these confused pale faces. If lengthy comments sections on Facebook are any indication, there’s not much more than grunts of agreement and anticipation over barbecued pain mounded on the whitest bread of mass-produced buns when Buc-ee’s is slated to come to town. This too is part of the degraded environment in whole, as we all are, and which we must recover from and defeat.

But the Buc-ee’s trance is strong, like with Target stores, and so many of these large retailers sucking up space and resources. I saw someone remark recently, semi-seriously at least, that Target locations seem to induce a psychosis in their “regulars”, and that maybe there is a substance spread beyond their brightly-colored, intense advertisements that pop up everywhere now virtually the minute you speak of their existence, like some demon force awaiting the next host. Indeed, I have been perplexed by this phenomenon of dedicated Target fans who will spend hours looking at, once again, candles and assorted cheaply-made goods as a hobby. It disturbs the soul as they mow down populations in the name of growth and “job creation”.

Sometimes language fails me in describing the overwhelming dread I feel when consciousness-destroying forces descend on us with cartoon mascots. To question this infantilism in common virtual forums draws out people who seem possessed by the ideation of Disney resorts and other soothing childlike avatars to sell them on destruction of humanity. You’re told you’re “weird” for seeing a serious analysis through, but resistance is never futile, and occurs around us daily if we look further than the foul sting of soul rot these headlines and proposals are meant to frighten us with to the point of total inaction.
