FRIEDRICH NIETZSCHE wanders the endless labyrinth of display rooms. He wears a thick mustache and the expression of a man who just read his own Yelp reviews. Blue-and-yellow signage hangs above him like the oppress…[Read more]

SIMONE DE BEAUVOIR strides in, coat sharp, intellect sharper. She approaches the LEGO shelves with purpose. To her left: bold, complex LEGO City and Technic sets — helicopters, space stations,…[Read more]

Title: Camus and the Claw Machine
Subtitle: “One must imagine Sisyphus… at the arcade.”

[INT. SEASIDE ARCADE – EVENING]

Albert CAMUS stands before a claw machine glowing with neon emptiness. Inside: plush toys piled like meaningless stars in a cold, indifferent cosmos. Camus smokes, hands in coat pockets, collar turned up like a rebel philoso…[Read more]

[INT. TOY STORE – MIDDAY]

Bright lights. Aisles of blinking plastic joy. Enter JEAN-PAUL SARTRE, trench coat flapping, cigarette hanging precariously from his lip. He scans the shelves with existential dread. A CHEERFUL TOY STORE ASSISTANT approaches, smiling.

ASSISTANT:
Bonjour! Can I help you find something for your child?

SARTRE (gruff):
I h…[Read more]

[INT. DOMINO’S PIZZA COUNTER – NIGHT]

A weary DOMINO’S TEENAGER in uniform leans over the counter, chewing gum. Enter MARTIN HEIDEGGER, dressed in a long coat and scarf, brow furrowed with cosmic angst. He surveys the menu like it contains the secret to Being.

DOMINO’S TEENAGER:
Hey there! Welcome to Domino’s. What can I get ya?

HEIDEGGER (sl…[Read more]

Imagine the panic and frustration that must cause the remaining members of the regime 🙂 What else do they know about us and how do they know it!!

Just because you are paranoid doesn’t mean they are watching you!

We need a complete series like this. Martin Heidegger orders pizza, Nietsche shops for skateboards, Sartre shops for toys, etc.

Setting aside how we feel about what they want, asking the United Nations for help…really? They might as well ask the Tooth Fairy. The U.N. is about as relevant as a screen door on a submarine nowadays. Whenever the General Assembly wants to do something nowadays, it goes to the Security Council to die.

They’re just pissing into the wind.

Your source doesn’t look like it’s reliable on an AP or Reuters level.

I did check an AI (Gemini) asking

During the ongoing war between Israel and Iran, are there any indications which way the general Iranian public is leaning regarding supporting their government?

And got this response:

Based on recent reports, there are strong…[Read more]

I am a few Iranian friends here in Ireland. They are ex-Muslims and have not been back to Iran for 24 years. They are hoping that the regime topples soon and are thanking Israel already. I was speaking with my friend in Ukraine today.  He said they are so happy that Israel is actively attacking the Iranian drone manufacturing facilities. They…[Read more]

Armin Navabi who hails from Iran is pretty stoked about everything and says he’s getting messages that Iranian citizens are cheering Israel for attacking the Islamic Republic!

I’m seeing no indication of anything other than Iranians rallying around their flag.

Where’s the evidence that the Iranian public is rebelling o…[Read more]

Ms. Phillips’ analysis seems to chop the left into two distinct and separate camps. One reasonable and siding with Israel and the other totally antisemitic. Are there avowed liberals taking down pro-Israel posters? No doubt. And the reason is that when you have the numbers of people involved, you’ll get all sorts of attitudes.

She assumes that if…[Read more]

Sorry Enco…Yes the first video is the one you meant. I had repeated the link for it for the last video, which I have now fixed. So click ‘lost’ again 🙂

Thanks Reg!!

Have a great week everyone!
