life update

Nothing says Christmas better than “YouTube will livestream The Interview,” amiright?

Anyway, just found out that my brother — you know, “Goldie,” — has retained a lawyer in Maryland. My guess is, he received notice (as an interested party and potential heir) that I’d filed my Mom’s new Will with the Registry of Wills in Baltimore County, and that he’s going to try to contest it.

I welcome that.

Because here’s the thing: for every dollar of plundered booty he spends, an angel gets its wings.

So. You’re welcome, newbie angels.

Meanwhile here on earth, Hell continues to claim territory.

    Meanwhile here on earth, Hell continues to claim territory.

    …and the lawyers get their hourly rate.

    Merry Christmas, all.

    I’m hoping there’s a Detective in Baltimore who’s showing increasing interest in Goldie. More interest than I’m feeling for “The Interview” right now, given “The Hack” is likely an inside job; nothing to do with the pathetic, starving DPRK miserables.

    Cheers to all, really!

    New terms are fascinating. This: ‘grievance fundamentalism‘, coined by Flemming Rose of Jyllands-Posten, the publisher of those Mohammad cartoons back in ’05 that resulted in typical Islam-grade terror-protests..

    In today’s grievance culture, with its identity politics and cultivation of the victim, the grievance lobby has succeeded in shifting the fulcrum of the human rights debate from freedom of speech to the necessity of countering hate speech; from the individual pursuing individual liberties to the individual being aggrieved by the liberties taken by others. That shift becomes counterintuitive, the logic increasingly absurd. Those aggrieved by free speech are defended, while others whose speech is perceived as offensive to such a degree that they are exposed to death threats, physical assault, and sometimes even murder are deemed to have been asking for it: “What did they expect offending people like that?”

    Thus, perpetrators are transformed into victims, victims into perpetrators, and it’s impossible to know the difference. The distinction between critical words and violent actions, between a picture and a violent reaction, between tolerance and intolerance, between civilization and barbarism is being dissolved.

    Jeff, this is right up your alley. NTTAWWT, of course.. )

    Make sure you salt his earth well. Traitors are the worst.

    If I haven’t referred to your brother as a shitweasel yet, I apologize for the oversight. You know, holidays and all…
