Finished Cult Following: The Extreme Sects That Capture Our Imaginations—and Take Over Our Lives by JW Ocker. Was interesting but at the felt a bit shallow? Maybe i was expecting more of a deep dive on how cults form/beliefs. Not sure was short so maybe that was it. As an aside fuck the guy that ran the ant hill kids cult. That was probably the worst thing I have heard.

This week i started The Enemy Within by Christie Golden its a D&D book set in Ravenloft. Its next one the series I have. Its ok so far.

Also started audiobook of Queens of the Conquest by Allison Weir. Found myself wanting to do more historical/academic books lately at least for audiobooks. Not far into it but it is informative so far.

Is it Manipulate the Market Monday already?

I cannot believe Joe Biden caused a whole airline to go out of business.

He’ll be better tomorrow

Never under estimate Democrats ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

Recently finished book 4 in Dungeon Crawler Carl series and yea. That was an ending I wasnt expecting and am excited to get to the next book.

Also got through Scream with Me: Horror Films and the Rise of American Feminism (1968-1980) by Eleanor Johnson. Had some interesting ideas on the horror genre and relations to what was going on at the time. Like the ERA and the Roe decisons. Was a really nice change of pace from all the scifi/fantasy i have been reading lately.

Just started Cult Following: The Extreme Sects That Capture Our Imaginations—and Take Over Our Lives by JW Ocker. Not far but feels like it will be interesting.

The fact that it was thrown out I knew it was not Judge Kacsmaryk, but the fact that I still checked makes me sad I felt like I had too.

Look I am not saying this isnt true, however I half remember a story from either the end of his first term or shortly after where some aide came out saying they would compete to see who could get the most insane story printed. This 100% feels like that with the medal of honor part. I could also be misremembering or made the story up in my head to same my own sanity. So, maybe I am wrong.

The yelling and other parts probably true though.

Feels like you need to define the goals before you can lack confidence in them.

Catholics are not real “Christians”. So they dont believe in the Pope’s position or respect the Pope.

I cannot fathom telling a guy who has dedicated his life to the church though that he doesn’t understand the bible. Then again that is the republican MO, if you think you know better than an expert clearly you do.

Finally finished Shadows Upon Time. Really enjoyed the sun eater series in the end. The first book took a bit to get past because it felt like it just was a lot of other books and movies.

Started the Gate of the Feral Gods. Book 4 in the Dungeon Crawler Carl series. Enjoying it so far but am not far in the book.

Will also probably start Project Hail Mary audiobook this week. Heard a lot of good so hope its not oversold

No they will wait til Friday morning, and declare the blockade over. Most people are dumb so they will believe the strait is open and market goes brrrr. Only it will be the US blockade and the strait will likely remain closed.

I have been working a ton lately so I am still reading Shadows Upon Time the last book in the sun eater series.

Maybe I can finish it soon. I really would like to get back to the Dungeon Crawler Carl series.

The image of him is the only give away here. He looks like an orange racoon. He is nothing if not vain, would never post something with him looking so bad.

If it was real it would be that image of him trying to look like a big strong boy leaning over his desk in black and white.

5. No way both him and Thomas dont retire before 2028.

I am convinced this Nick Adams is the greatest method actor/comedian since Kaufman. Like everything he says is just chef’s kiss insane. It has to be a bit right?

Right?

By that logic Trump is living til at least 200

I thought his excuse was “I am the President so fuck you”
