Held In Bondage
Ouida
“A young man married is a man that’s marred.” That’s a golden rule, Arthur; take it to heart.
(more…)Fuck Sam Altman
Costin Nițu
Enough of this guy already!
I don’t give a flying fuck that Sam Altman was fired from OpenAI.
(more…)Elon Musk Is Not An Anti-Semite
Pacoste
Boy, they really – really – hate Elon Musk.
The media, liberals, useful idiots in general.

Pacoste
You know who’s going to be the next US President?

(more…)Subconscious Fears
Frank Crane
A young man writes me that he is afraid of thunderstorms, and asks if there is no way for him to overcome this weakness. “I am normal in every other respect,” he adds, “but notwithstanding my endeavors to fight off this nervousness I find it to be of no avail; it appears to be a sort of subconscious fear.”
(more…)The Position Of Women

The skin is almost black; the head long and narrow; the face narrow; the hair kinky and woolly. The lower part of the face projects far beyond the upper part. The lips are thick. Negroes have an odor which is peculiar to them, and which most white persons dislike. Many of the negro tribes are composed of persons who are tall, strong, and well built.

(more…)The Character Of A Small Poet
Samuel Butler
