Involving an agreement to read Kash Patel’s terrible books:

If I ever get taken alive by the GOP my plan is to offer to laugh at 3 of Elon Musk’s jokes faux spontaneously as Ol’jfz9580m is a friendly old 🧽 and to read Kash Patel’s children’s books and then ask Yasha Levine to be Orwell to my low rent Wodehouse knockoff..

A strategy I recommend for all our troops..

I always thought Wodehouse got a bad rap. Orwell had a view of human nature that was free of both cynicism and histrionics. It is why Julia, one of my favorite characters from literature, understood that everyone confesses under torture.

Well actually I already got taken alive by lame computer creeps and for 14 years and so my troubles are behind me. Especially as a self-taught expert on mob psychology by now. It is fun to sardonically watch this..which way, which way conviction free crowd scramble. Unformed or confused views are one thing. Having no understanding of principles is another.

I found this book was fascinating:

Readers and writers tend to be imaginative unlike the types of clodhopping dunderheads who are fearless more from an absence of imagination than innate bravery. It must have been hell for Dostoevsky to wait for the firing squad.
