Next letter, a letter to an earnest socialist.

Was efficient proof-reading something that I never learned because I studied Engineering in college?

That being said, thoughts on the new format?

Ok 10 lbs down on the "don't eat crap" diet. I fully understand that the next 10 aren't going to come off without something more radical. Any suggestions?

This is one of the best conversations that I have heard in a while. I wish Keith and I could have discussed this stuff rather than "Capitalism" https://odysee.com/@MorgothReviews:5/morgcast5:f

For the boomers who think that we are on the path back to normalcy, I have story. Today I was in the park with my 1-year old. The playground was almost empty except for a pair of half-Asian children (around 4-years old) playing in full masks in the sandbox. My son approached the pair, smiling, babbling sounds like "HI", arms outstretched in friendship (he was unmasked but I was wearing one out of politeness). The two children (mind you much older and much bigger than my son) regarded him with a look of absolute and sincere terror, backing away from the toddler like he was a rabid dog. Soon their European-American mother came and hustled them quickly out of the play area like we were a pair of lepers. This is in a community that is almost entirely vaccinated. The hell we are returning to normalcy.

After thinking about this for a week, I am now officially removing ALL SuperChats and monetization from my YouTube channel, I probably don't need to explain this, you know the reasons.

Generally my philosophy towards social media hinges on money. When it comes to pure platforms, I try to make peace with the reality of Corporate control. That's just the game. However, once I accept money, and the Corp tries to dick me around with how it pays out then I immediately go into PURGE mode. I will obey rules of a space, but I am not a dancing monkey for tips. No patreon. No superchats.

Oh, and I am not trying to cast aspersions on people who need superchats to live. I get this, I really do. My family and I had a bit of a gap recently, and superchats REALLY helped us make ends meet. But, TBH, this gap is over and I no longer need the money for anything that could possibly be called "essential". Please give your money to other right-wing content creators that need the cash more. I will accept tips on entropy, as a "Tip Jar" type contribution, but right now, how I see it, I AM PURCHASING a certain type of aesthetic by not doing superchats the same way BreadTube does.

BreadTube did to SuperChats what "my-600 pound life" did to eating unhealthy food. The excess highlights the core disgust and existential horror of the act. Maybe this is a good thing?

I just can’t ... https://youtu.be/Uh5g9Xv9khc

so I guess it's "mask off", so to speak! 🙃

Looks like I am officially moving out of California! Still to the coast, no longer the left one.

I'll be discussing Dune on here tonight

Any thoughts on today’s stream?

I can't tell you how much I love @MorgothsReview idea of a collective fiction project to facilitate pulp story telling inside a shared universe. I know people talked about this in the old Canis Society server. I wonder how you would start something like this? The setting would have to flexible enough to allow for role-playing games, and extended short stories, flavorful enough to give writers and game masters something to chew one. I would love to hear people's thoughts.

Witness the decline of Matt McManus into absolute hackery.
