Dude, it's crazy.  He doesn't even live in PA, just figures he can roll his money and medium tier fame into whatever government job fits his vanity.

 

Shit, at least Reagan actually lived in California.

I don't understand why he picked PA? Does he have a lot of fans there or something? Is there some demographic he thinks will send him into the chamber?

 

But I guess if it worked for Hillary Clinton and Mitt Romney, it could work for Oz too.

Hoes got preferred pronouns now. Lmao

 

They have a problem with being referred to as a prostitute (they prefer escort/companion) but not the actual act itself of prostitution.

 

This world doesn't make sense anymore, we need a restart. Just burn everything and start over 😂

It's like the fall of Rome. Everyone just wants to do whatever, whenever without any shame or judgment. And don't want to do the necessary things to maintain a strong stable society. All this is fine until another nation notices. And decides to be bold enough to try you. Or do things they otherwise wouldn't if you were strong.

Reminds me of Mitt Romney running for Senate in Utah. I know he was a career politician following in dad's footsteps but it seemed kind of random to go from a New England figurehead to Utah. I guess he thought he could win (and did) through his Mormon faith?

 

I don't know much about Pennsylvania admittedly, but I'm assuming Oz can tap into some kind of en masse support there too? It seems like he was quite vocal during CV19 lockdowns and other pseudoscience garbage that certain types of people love to cling onto.

PA looked like this year's most buyable senate seat.  The incumbent was a Republican who's not running again, and the primary field for the R's was pretty weak.  Oz swept in to the primary with a huge budget and a pretty tepid endorsement from Trump, which was enough. 

 

There was apparently some drama, because the runner-up in the R primary was a long time ride-or-die Trump guy, and losing Trump's endorsement to an out-of-state multimillionaire TV guy was apparently a kick right in the irony.

So I got into yet ANOTHER absurd beef with someone over me joining Freshcut, with them going around saying I have a public association with NFTs like I'm Steph Curry on crpyto (dot) com commercials. I had my local TO moderate between us so that we properly sever our relationship without further fukkery, but I will admit that the way certain people go on about how NFTs are bad is reminding me of the crackpots who think vaccines give you internet powers.

 

I think some kind of global currency is inevitable with how much international digital commerce there is nowadays, and while I think NFTs are dumb myself, it does seem to be getting a lot more traction among big companies even after the last crypto crash. As soon as a government declares one crypto to rule them all, that'll be where things really get interesting. I don't know what Freshcut will do then as when they were asked about that big hit piece Hippo did on them after EVO, they said it was mostly baloney and they were going to take action of some kind 

 

This is all for SFxT at EVO on the big stage. It will all be worth it. I will tell myself that over and over until we're there.

We are really reliving history again the more I read into Oz running for senate. It's like Southern strategy all over... just saying or doing things to win even if it goes against everything you stand as a professional and human being.

You're supposed to sell your soul after you win lol.

I'm just now finding out there was a movie about "Shadow People"...I'll have to check this out though it unfortunately looks like a low-budget "straight to dvd" kind of thing....

 

The concept of them is so cool to me...prime story material there from such a simple, mysterious concept.  One silly thing though is that there's 1 with a hat simply called "The Hat Man"....c'mon, bruh... couldn't have come up with a cooler name than that?  Whenever you explain this modern urban legend to people....you probably lose them the minute you bring up "Hat Man" since that's where it just gets silly.

A crypto made and regulated by a government will never catch up because it goes against the idea of crypto, and goes against the interests of crypto currency users.

What I meant is to combat the scammers there will a consensus on what kind of crypto (NFTs, coin etc) is the standard. That seems to be my ex-buddy’s big hangup. 
 

Freshcut gave me some crypto but I treat it like it’s VC in the 2K right now.

Yeah, it seems that he actually cares about the welfare of men and society at large doesn't...they can't comprehend it.


While I agree with that specific statement in question, people are mocking him because of everything else he has been doing on the side. If JP actually focused on what he knows (his field) he would be a much more credible messenger but he's ruined himself now. I followed him from the very beginning, and while I do agree with much, I also find a lot that is disagreeable. 

I think this youtube video does an excellent job of examining JP's fall from grace (albeit with some humor to keep it entertaining).
 



It's a very long video but it does not repeat itself and has good pacing.

No they are mocking him because they don't like him and they take joy in his pain. However this situation is a prime example of BS narrative they kick in modern society. The very same people that say men should display their emotions and mock "toxic masculinity" are the first ones to mock a man for showing their emotions. It's the first thing they go to.

I'd argue we've been in that phase for the better part of the last 40 years, and it's not exclusive to one side or the other.

Man, I kinda wish I didn't see the documentary they made about her.

You got admit, nobody would have known if her family hadn't ratted her out. She was head of her local NAACP, she's probably done more for black people than most white people have lol

You could do an entire 50 man Royal Rumble match with just Nick Cannon, Keke Wyatt and NBA Youngboy's kids 

Throw in Antonio Cromartie's kids and make it a 64 man match 🙃

You can't divorce the reaction to him crying from his past actions.

 

Again: how can one be so sad over lonely guys and how they just can't get a positive word, yet act the way he did towards Elliot Page (or, hell, trans people in general) and that Fat SI model with NO provocation whatsoever? Where was this empathy then? To see him crying over this is hypocritical. It doesn't make ME laugh (I wonder if the guy is well), but I can get peoples' reaction.

 

Another thing sticking out about this is him conflating "incel" with "poor lonely guy who doesn't know how to talk to women". They're not the same. The latter doesn't resent women sometimes to the point of harassment or doing shootings.

 

Do men get shit on when expressing emotion? Yes. But this is not that. If he'd said all that stuff without crying, he'd still be getting clowned.

Reminds me on how people always default to insult a man based on how much women they get or if they are gay, even people from the side that claims to be about mental health and "other forms of masculinity" always default to the same shit, insulting someone as virgin, incel, etc.

Okay, but here's a new one for you:

 

The incumbent Congressman from PA's 18th district is a pretty popular Democrat named Mike Doyle, who is retiring from Congress this year.  The 18th is pretty blue, and Mike Doyle is very well liked there.

 

Who did the Republicans put up to run for Mike Doyle's soon to be vacant seat?  A completely different guy who is also named Mike Doyle.  Trying to scoop up that "didn't know that the other guy was retiring" vote.

It's 🤘Metal Monday🤘

 

Celebrating the time Lemmy and Pinhead played poker in the coolest Motörhead video ever

CibvrLBhu5hwz3wNMsrvm3-970-80.jpg.webp

Thirty years ago, two icons came together in one of the most badass heavy metal videos ever made

 

How can you possibly make the coolest heavy metal band of all time just that little bit cooler? You take their iconic (and iconically cool) frontman and put him in a poker game with one of the most legendary characters in horror.

 

That's exactly what happened when Motörhead decided to record a video for their version of Hellraiser, the song Lemmy originally co-wrote for Ozzy Osbourne's No More Tears album, but which ultimately got a fully Lem'd-up version for Hell On Earth, the explosive (and brilliantly daft) third entry into the ever-expanding Hellraiser movie franchise. 

 

 

 

Opening with an ominous warning from original Hellraiser franchise heroine Kirsty Cotton, taken from the character's cameo appearance in Hell On Earth, the video then features Motörhead - then a four-piece comprised of Lemmy, guitarists Würzel and Phil Campbell and drummer Mikkey Dee - performing in front of a mostly empty venue. Empty, that is, aside from an onlooking Pinhead and some rather beastly henchmen.

 

Following some shenanigans in which a hapless Motörhead roadie gets abducted by Pinhead and his pals, Lemmy sits down with the Hell Priest for a game of poker, with his bandmates looking on from behind.

"The card game finished with me getting the Ace of Spades," explained Pinhead actor Doug Bradley, who'd give his metal credit another boost years later courtesy of numerous collaborations with Cradle Of Filth. "The idea is that Lemmy wins the game, but at the price of losing his soul."

According to Bradley, he was royally shown up in rock 'n' roll terms during the video shoot, as Lemmy made a, ahem, personal upgrade to one of his props.

 

"That was funny," he added. "When we were playing that card game there was a decanter on the table, just as a prop, and Lemmy had a word with one of his people, the decanter disappeared but it came back again full of amber liquid. Which Lemmy proceeded to drink his way through while we shot that scene, like you and I would drink orange juice, while the dark pope of Hell sat on the other side of the table demurely sipping Evian water.
