Well, here we are, at Monday, once again… The good news is, I’m on vacation. The bad news is, it’s not really a vacation, because I am on the prowl for a new lair. Preferably one with an extremely pissed-off Nephilim guarding the entrance to keep away the unwary, and the theologically illiterate.
For those of us who have to work today, though, the Great Mondaydact Browser Troller is here to save our sanity.
Today we start off with an unhealthy dose of Abominable Intelligence-generated movie trailers, from the channel Abandoned Films, which has figured out how to use AI to reimagine some of the greatest films, books, games, and TV series, using retro 50s- and 60s-style visuals. It is really pretty neat – provided you ignore the seriously weird and creepy faces.
Here’s what Metroid would look like, as a 1950s B-movie:
And StarCraft:
OK, Kerrigan looks HOT – and also terrifying.
How’s about Battyman:
And WarCraft:
Here’s X-Men:
And The Walking Dead, where the trailer is even more terrifying than the show itself:
Abominable Intelligence certainly has a some way to go before it really replaces human film-makers and animators. But… it has made HUGE strides in just a few years, and it will not be that long before we see fully AI-generated films, that make most modern actors completely superfluous, and many of the current studios largely useless.

Dawn of Battle
The Male Brain has a great many diversions for us today. We start with an Honest Ads shtick about shopping malls, which are depressing places at the best of times:
MR. BRAIN has a General Theory of Stupidity, that will help you avoid becoming a brainwashed sheeple:
Heavy Spoilers makes a lot of really rather good points about the Bugs being innocent in Starship Troopers – the movie, NOT the book:
The creator got absolutely hammered in the comments about several cock-ups on basic facts, and rightly so. But, given Verhoeven deliberately set out to subvert the book (and actually rather failed), and given he didn’t even read it, he probably did not care about the fact that, in the book, at least, the Bugs are NEVER explicitly mentioned as having started the war, and almost certainly wanted to portray the United Citizens’ Federation as, basically, space-Nazis.
Verhoeven was never particularly good at subtlety, let’s be honest.
The book does make very clear that the Pseudo-Arachnids (aka “Bugs”) launched an attack on Buenos Aires, and destroyed it completely, and that was what started the full-blown war that you read about through Juan Rico’s eyes.
Moving on – Pitch Meeting, and Ryan George’s weird beard, are back with one about the original Superman film:
Mind-Expanding Drugs
The world’s busiest bald YOOTOOBER talks about the Black Death in a new video for Into the Shadows:
Death Smiles At Us All…
I would not go so far as to say a man can go through life with NO friends. I know of no successful or happy man who has ZERO friends. But, every man can and should learn to be alone for long spells. It is highly beneficial for one’s peace of mind and strength of will.
Poli-Ticking Off
Mark Dice is VERY pleased about the continuing collapse of the House of the Devil Mouse, as James O’Keefe caught someone on camera admitting the DIE agenda is embedded deep in their DNA:
The very-thoroughly-married couple at Redacted talk to Larry Johnson about the Putin Peace Proposal – and what the West’s blatant rejection of it, means for the wider war:
PJW reckons the British political scene is undergoing an earthquake right now – and he could very well be right:
Let us be clear about one thing: voting Reform will NOT save Britain. The Labour government that comes in, will likely have the largest majority in British electoral history. But they have no plan, no personality, and no clue. They will almost certainly collapse, as the Liberals did in the early 1900s, very quickly.
The real question is, how many seats will the Cuckservatives win? I am really rooting for ZERO SEATS – they deserve it, because of the catastrophic outcome of 14 years of Tory rule over Britain.
Can Nigel Farage then save Britain? Probably not. Nothing can, at this stage, short of the implementation of extreme authoritarian rule, and massive forced deportations of all Izzlamick fake-Britons, as well as most other foreigners.
Lord Razor of the Fist Clan rants about the similarly useless Republicuck Party in the FUSA:
Rulings from the Bench
Judge Nap had his usual panel of all-stars on this week. We start with Col. Douglas Macgregor, who explains that Israel’s economy is in dire straits after the severe defeat it has suffered in Gaza, and the utter incapability of the IDF to win a potential war against Hezbollah:
LTC Tony Shaffer points out a basic truth about 404:
Maj. Scott Ritter goes into full-on rant mode, as usual, about Israel and the Gazacaust – I don’t fully agree with a lot of what he says, but he does make good points:
Capt. Matthew Hoh points to the IDF’s moral failures in Gaza, and the realities on the ground:
Alistair Crooke narrates the breakdown in Europe of the neoliberal consensus:
Larry Johnson & Ray McGovern provide a week-ending wrap-up:
Prof. Jeffrey Sachs explains what the Putin Peace Plan really means, and why it is the very best deal Ukraine will ever get:
Prof. Gilbert Doctorow takes exception – in very genteel and calm fashion – with some of Prof. Sachs’s views about the Putin Peace Proposal:
Дед Сварливый Говорит!
Grandpa Grumpuss grumps, grumpily, about the total failure of America’s hypersonic weapons development programmes:
The hard FACT is, Amerikhastan is not merely a few years behind Russia (and now China) in hypersonic stand-off strike weapons development. It is now a full GENERATION behind, maybe more, and is falling ever farther behind with every month that goes by.

Col. Douglas Macgregor speaks to his old friend and comrade-in-arms, LTC Daniel Davis, about Israel’s prospects against Hezbollah in southern Lebanon (tl;dw version – REALLY NOT GOOD):

Bad Medicine
Dr. John Campbell is very pleased to see PFYZORRRRR being taken to court by Kansas for its not-vaxx misinformation – hopefully lots of other American states will jump on that bandwagon:
Dr. Suneel Dhand, like the rest of us purebloods, can forgive, but will NEVER forget, how he was treated during the height of the Plandemic:
Here is a new channel for us, called Mergonomics, featuring one Dr. Mikolaj Raszek, talking about the spike in cancers following injections of the mRNA death-shots:
The more I see of what modern medicine tells us to take, the more convinced I am that we are far better off taking all-natural supplements, sunlight, daily exercise, and real food, and avoiding pharmaceutical products unless absolutely necessary.
Warriors of Faith
Tha Dizzle has a new episode of Muhammad’s Boom-Boom Room out, in which Mo’Lester the Paedophile Profit meets… THA DIZZLE HIZZSELF!!!:
Dr. Jay Smith from PfanderFilms and his friend Mel smash through the narratives around Mo’Lester the Paedophile Profit, on the ladder at Speaker’s Corner:
Al-Fadi from CIRA International and Dr. Jay Smith present an interesting play-acting debate on the origins of the Koran:
Chris at Speaker’s Corner slices and dices a very well-known Izzlamick dawahgandist for some very shady tactics:
Avery from GodLogic Apologetics had a LOT of fun mopping the floor with a dawah team at Stratford station in London – I know that area quite well, actually:
Sam Shamoun has GREAT fun skewering an Izzlamist on his own fake religion:
The interesting thing about Izzlamists is, they can never, ever answer a straight question – thereby failing the test of, “let your yes be yes, and your no be no – all else is from the Evil One”. And that tells you everything you need to know about their fake religious death cult.
Islam Critiqued takes a stridently pro-Israel line in explaining why Hummous attacked it:
The thing is… you can legitimately disagree with Hummous and its methods, as I do, and ALSO disagree with Israel’s methods. There is simply no getting past the fact that Israel has LOST the Gazacaust, and is about to embark on a losing war against Hezbollah.
IC also gets quite a lot wrong about Iran’s motives and abilities. Iran did NOT fail in its retaliation – and that is what it was – against Israel. It successfully re-established deterrence and proved to Israel that it has the ability to wipe the entire country off the map, if it so chooses. Nor is Iran particularly interested in destabilising Saudi Arabia, especially now that both countries are part of BRICS+.
The world is not binary or black-and-white. The Sunni-Shi’a divide is real and substantial. But that does not mean the two factions cannot put their differences aside against a common enemy.
And that common enemy, today, is ISRAEL – which, through the stupidity and craziness of its leaders, has backed itself into a corner and made enemies out of the entire WORLD.

Reading Too Much Into Things
Your Science is F***ing Weird moment of the week is from The Male Brain, and it is all about how the remains of the planet, left over after it smashed into another body and created the Earth and Moon, are still left within the crust and mantle of our planet today:
Your long read of the week is by (relatively moderate) neoclown Sir Niall Ferguson, who, despite his ideological predilections, is still historian enough to pull head out of arse and look at the very clear parallels between the modern FUSA, and the late-stage USSR:
It is now well known that younger Americans are suffering an epidemic of mental ill health—blamed by Jon Haidt and others on smartphones and social media—while older Americans are succumbing to “deaths of despair,” a phrase made famous by Anne Case and Angus Deaton. And while Case and Deaton focused on the surge in deaths of despair among white, middle-aged Americans—their work became the social-science complement to J.D. Vance’s Hillbilly Elegy—more recent research shows that African Americans have caught up with their white contemporaries when it comes to overdose deaths. In 2022 alone, more Americans died of fentanyl overdoses than were killed in three major wars: Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan.
The recent data on American mortality are shocking. Life expectancy has declined in the past decade in a way we do not see in comparable developed countries. The main explanations, according to the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, are a striking increase in deaths due to drug overdoses, alcohol abuse, and suicide, and a rise in various diseases associated with obesity. To be precise, between 1990 and 2017 drugs and alcohol were responsible for more than 1.3 million deaths among the working-age population (aged 25 to 64). Suicide accounted for 569,099 deaths—again of working-age Americans—over the same period. Metabolic and cardiac causes of death such as hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and coronary heart disease also surged in tandem with obesity.
This reversal of life expectancy simply isn’t happening in other developed countries.
Peter Sterling and Michael L. Platt argue in a recent paper that this is because West European countries, along with the United Kingdom and Australia, do more to “provide communal assistance at every stage [of life], thus facilitating diverse paths forward and protecting individuals and families from despair.” In the United States, by contrast, “Every symptom of despair has been defined as a disorder or dysregulation within the individual. This incorrectly frames the problem, forcing individuals to grapple on their own,” they write. “It also emphasizes treatment by pharmacology, providing innumerable drugs for anxiety, depression, anger, psychosis, and obesity, plus new drugs to treat addictions to the old drugs.”
Obese? Try Ozempic.
The mass self-destruction of Americans captured in the phrase deaths of despair for years has been ringing a faint bell in my head. This week I remembered where I had seen it before: in late Soviet and post–Soviet Russia. While male life expectancy improved in all Western countries in the late twentieth century, in the Soviet Union it began to decline after 1965, rallied briefly in the mid-1980s, and then fell off a cliff in the early 1990s, slumping again after the 1998 financial crisis. The death rate among Russian men aged 35 to 44, for example, more than doubled between 1989 and 1994.
The explanation is as clear as Stolichnaya. In July 1994, two Russian scholars, Alexander Nemtsov and Vladimir Shkolnikov, published an article in the national daily newspaper Izvestia with the memorable title “To Live or to Drink?” Nemtsov and Shkolnikov demonstrated (in the words of a recent review article) “an almost perfect negative linear relationship between these two indicators.” All they were missing was a sequel—“To Live or to Smoke?”—as lung cancer was the other big reason Soviet men died young. A culture of binge drinking and chain-smoking was facilitated by the dirt-cheap prices of cigarettes under the Soviet regime and the dirt-cheap prices of alcohol after the collapse of communism.
The statistics are as shocking as the scenes I remember witnessing in Moscow and St. Petersburg in the late 1980s and early 1990s, which made even my native Glasgow seem abstemious. An analysis of 25,000 autopsies conducted in Siberia in 1990–2004 showed that 21 percent of adult male deaths due to cardiovascular disease involved lethal or near-lethal levels of ethanol in the blood. Smoking accounted for a staggering 26 percent of all male deaths in Russia in 2001. Suicides among men aged 50 to 54 reached 140 per 100,000 population in 1994—compared with 39.2 per 100,000 for non-Hispanic American men aged 45 to 54 in 2015. In other words, Case and Deaton’s deaths of despair are a kind of pale imitation of the Russian version 20 to 40 years ago.
The self-destruction of homo sovieticus was worse. And yet is not the resemblance to the self-destruction of homo americanus the really striking thing?

Caption 2: “What happens when you start to drain the swamp”
[The Left’s counterpoint to this is, the drop in inflation is because economic activity in Argentina has collapsed. We shall see who is right over the coming years. – Didact]
[FREE ONE-WAY HELICOPTER RIDES ON AIR PINOCHET FOR ALL COMMIES!!!! – 1st Plank of the Didactist Manifesto]
196K? HOW???
[Skittles uses the tagline, “taste the rainbow” – funny how it tastes exactly like vomit… – Didact]
Here are some Juneteenth memes, just for the Wakandans:
[Fun fact: the Emancipation Proclamation did not free ONE SINGLE SLAVE. Also, indeed, the KKK was founded by Southern Daemoncrats, and as late as the mid-2000s, several of their most prominent members were in the US Senate. – Didact]
[“Abdullah” = “slave of Allah”, and “abd”, which is Arabic for “slave”, is synonymous with “abeed”, which is Arabic for “Black” – Didact]
Memes about Spaceballs 2:
[Fun fact: Indian air comes in flavours – regular, masala, curry, and extra spicy. – Didact]
And finally, some memes about that Chinese dumping investigation into European pork:
