So, starting off this week, and continuing the previous.
There's the kidnapping of Nancy Guthrie, no hopeful outcomes there I think, funny that she was the target, but - wait - didn't her daughter once have the audacity to interview Jeffrey Epstein's victims? And is there a link here?
That's an underreported headline there. There's news that the FBI busted a big Pedophile ring; no, not that one, so take it with a grain of salt. Then there was Trump posting his "Ape Obama's" photo - a good 20 minutes of outrage there, then quelled. There was the threats over the Canada bridge, the shutting down of Federal Airspace over El Paso Texas, there was the Bondi Congressional "Interview", the "MAGA Father Kills Dissenting Daughter Headline"; quickly acquitted of any wrongdoing because MAGA and Texas, there was the suggestion that Jeffrey Epstein is alive and well in Israel, because he's been seen online under his username and playing Fortnight and his bank accounts all still oddly are active...
Then there was Tumbler Ridge, but that's a separate post.
All these things, the machine-gun fire of irrelevant news and conspiracies and "connect the dots" - and you can, and maybe one day someone will, but they're all to distract us - Project 2025 is halfway there inside a year.
The MAGGATS are swarming America, picking it clean, but keep everyone outraged, distracted, with these click-bait 20 minute wonders and the juggernaut will continue to roll forward...
Wednesday, Tom Yum & Steve's Hot Sauce

Lunch on Wednesday I'm using up a lot of stuff from the freezer, gonna make some Tom Yum Kung. So I head out the the local grocery, and for it I'll need frozen Galangal, Lemongrass, Kaffir Lime Leaves. The cost alone - what? $35? I would have been better off just buying 5 tubs of the premix. Anyways, home to make it...
It's OK, by which I mean the Galangal is tough and has to be spat out, the frozen lemongrass (minced, they didn't have stems) I'm not sure did anything, and I have far more Kaffir Lime Leaves than ever I needed. Soup - Tasty, Recipe a failure, I should have read it more thoroughly, cooking times, etc, but I tend to wing it a little too much some times, and clearly this was one of those times.

In the evening I have some crackers and a slice of pizza with Steve's hot sauce. Steve, a neighbour, made me a jar, it goes down pretty easy. I have a high tolerance to spice.
Until I don't, not 10 minutes later and I'm in the bathroom, bent double on the floor, my mouth accepted it but my belly isn't, I'm dying, never had a stomach ache this bad - not an ache, an actual vivid pain, and I'm sweating and thinking who the hell wants to die on the bathroom floor, and comfortable with dying, but not in this position, and it takes me 10 minutes to stand up, make my way to the bedroom, a full two hours to recover.
Insane.
Thursday I stick close to home, for obvious reasons...
Not sure what to do with the rest of Steve's hot sauce, checking the bottle it's already eaten through the lining on the lid...
Everything Everywhere All At Once - Daniel Kwan & Daniel Sheinert

This - surprisingly, was a masterpiece. Perfectly suited to the diminished attention span, hundreds, if not thousands of short takes, tight writing, an absurdist comedic genius that taps into the New Theosophy of Quantum Jumping, family dynamics, the multiverse, and concludes when finally the heroine Michelle Yeoh realizes her infinite potential.
Both over the top and sublime. And what with all the NSFW scenes I'm realizing I might have missed out by never contracting the "Asian Fever".
Well worth watching, although be a little sharper than I was, there's a lot going on...
