Murakami is up there as one of my favorite authors but he is very obviously weird when it comes to women and sex. Pick up his book Men Without Women if you want story after story of :wtc:

Where do you rank The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle on the list on Murakami books? Not in terms of weird sex stuff specifically but in general.

It’s hard for me to give a totally clear-eyed assessment of WUBC because it was the second book of his I read but the first I actually “got” (the first was Wild Sheep Chase because an old puzzle game that afaik has fallen by the internet wayside referenced it), so I’m inclined to like it more. Still, I said in the last thread when he was brought up that Murakami’s strength is writing stories that evoke a mood and I think WUBC is one of the best at doing that.

This was also the second Murakami book that I read (Colorless Tsukuru being my first) and it almost completely turned me off of ever reading anything else of his again lol. Maybe I'll give him another shot someday but that was last year and I haven't had to force myself through a book in that way since I was in school. I wanted to hear your thoughts to see if I just bit off more than I could chew.

I mean we're well past the point where there's a difference between "I'm contesting the election because it will let me continue to get paid/build influence/not get blacklisted etc." and "I'm contesting the election because I truly believe that Trump won". You could convince me that Trump thinks he actually won but no other GOP figure has that excuse. And then their millions of supporters hear that and default to the latter of those two views because the first one almost certainly doesn't apply to them.

The one bright side to all this is that when Trump spends the rest of his life hootin and hollerin about this election, it'll stop us from immediately sweeping the Trump presidency under the rug and we'll have to continue to think about at the mess we put ourselves in. That is, if we as a nation are capable of any amount of introspection lol

New season of Cobra Kai spoilers, mainly with the end:

Like I get the need to keep everything going with the tournament but the amount of laws broken by Creese and the cobra Kai kids...and not one person went “hey maybe we should call the cops”? There’s B&E, assault and theft at the least.

Yeah Kreese and his students are straight out of the evil track in a Bioware RPG, especially Hawk over these first three seasons. Maybe that's just meant to evoke that 80s movie feel though.

Show kicks rear end regardless.

This brings up the question, what is a bad movie to watch high? We ate some edibles before going to see District 9 because I think we all thought it was going to just be a standard alien sci fi movie with pew pew guns and space fights, but it was not a great atmosphere for being stoned.

As someone who's never been high, I guess anything scary? Maybe scary and still somewhat rooted in real-life visuals, The Shining was the first movie that popped into my head.

My wife's step father is a MAGA man who thinks covid is greatly exaggerated and all that.

He tested positive for covid on the 1st. Couple of days letter he felt like total poo poo and went to the ER.

They wanted to admit him to the hospital because his oxygen was low, but there were no beds left. So they sent him to a different hospital. They're trying to get his oxygen levels up now.

I wonder if he still thinks it's just the flu.

Honestly, there's a good chance that he still does. I'm remembering that interview of the ICU nurse in South Dakota who had COVID-19 patients denying the disease's existence up until the point that it killed them.

My SO has had several patients who, after having tested positive for COVID, while being treated for COVID, while suffering the symptoms of COVID, have stated that it flat-out doesn’t exist. People will absolutely refuse to admit they were wrong even if it literally kills them.

The right-wing propaganda machine is very powerful, and even if the left/center has its own biased news sources the right-wing ones have a decades-long head start.

PA republicans literally refused to swear in a democratic senator because his opponent hasn't conceded yet

I'm 99% sure that corgi was making the Twitter rounds last year but it's still real cute.

Also the PA GOP is low-key insane, probably on account of PA still being a swing/purple state in state-level politics. Reminder that a bunch of PA GOPers at the state level tested positive for COVID-19, then took in-person meetings with Dem politicians without telling them about their health.

Even if Manchin decides that Senate votes revolve around him, Dems will at least control what legislation actually gets to a floor vote if Warnock and Ossoff end up winning. It can't be overstated how little interest Mitch had in having a vote on anything that wasn't GOP policy. That would be a big win all on its own.

I guess the one possible path for Convicted Felon Donald Trump is that maybe no one with any sort of power will want to defend him anymore. No national elections for a couple of years and he may have just had a hand in losing you the Senate, why not blow him off now when it'll be forgotten the next time you job comes up for a vote?

I'm not enjoying the Mitch stuff because I bet he's really happy about the last 4 years. He's about to die, doesn't care about America's future, and just accomplished his major goals of securing the Supreme Court and passing huge tax cuts

He absolutely is.

Today might suck for him but he essentially controlled the legislative branch for the last six years and got to implement his long-term strategy for the GOP for the foreseeable future, which is to control the judiciary. gently caress that guy, one speech about "hey maybe laws are still real" doesn't erase any of that.
