When the going gets tough, the tough get going 

What this means is that when faced with difficulties and adversity, those who are mentally and physically resilient do not give up, but formulate an effective and disciplined plan of action which they initiate and carry through to a successful conclusion.

"Despite getting stuck with the fallout from Malcolm's fuck-up, Nick got everything sorted inside of a week!"
"Yeah, when the going gets tough, the tough get going."

The Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise 

A story that the Jedi would not tell you.

'Did you ever hear the Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the wise? I thought not. It's not a story the Jedi would tell you. It's a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the midichlorians to create life... He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying. The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful... the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. It's ironic he could save others from death, but not himself.' - Sheev Palpatine

the throngler 

A powerful blade, feared by all. The Throngler is a might blade, forged from the strongest throngonium that the universe could supply. Those unfortunate enough to be on the reciving end of The Throngler become throngled, a state of being in intense pain, and completely paralyzed.

Dark King Grûtmore's Edge of Annihilation implies other Dark Kings with other Edges of Annihilation, but there is only one way to get throngled.

the throngler is a weapon of mass destruction

The Trump Paradox 

The Trump Paradox — The idea that after observing his campaign and four years of his administration, people would still vote for Donald J. Trump. This actually isn’t the Trump Paradox, it’s THE AMERICAN PARADOX.

What this actually says is that about 40% of Americans are actually good with antisemitism, chauvinism, jingoism, racism, fascism,

sexism, and unwanted rapey male jism.

If any of the -isms apply to you; the, it is unlikely that you are surprised by this. The people who are surprised by this is the people who would vote for Trump because “he’s a man of his times”; they “don’t necessarily like Trump, but they love his policies”; think “minorities, immigrants and women expect to much”; and that “we should save American for Americans”.

Which just means that they don’t know the meaning of the words: antisemitism, chauvinism, jingoism, racism, fascism,

sexism, and unwanted rapey male jism — or that those words apply to them. Maybe THIS is the true paradox.

With apologies to Emma Lazarus, The New Colossus, The tired, The poor, The hungry, and the huddled masses yearning to be free.

The Trump Paradox: many people hate the man but love his policies — which means they are just hiding their true feeling about society behind smiles and neoliberalism.

The Three C’s 

The Three C’s - The Three C’s are: clicks, clout, and cash.

Currently HATE sells better than SEX in America. Although the combination of HATE and SEX really sells.

Find a small group of people that can’t easily defend themselves; make them a scape goat in the 21st century American culture wars; attack them in as many arenas as possible; and, then solicit funds for your cause in every imaginable arena possible.

The HATE will get you “clicks” on your website; the CLICKS will get you “clout”and elevate your hatred in the arena of public discourse and social mediums; and, the CLOUT will earn you “cash” for your progrom.

Use the cash to by judges — especially in Supreme Courts — power, influence and friends in high places.

What could possibly go wrong?

This is how, for example, a few parents can ban thousands of books that they, surely, haven’t read.

And they don’t want anyone to read them. Why expand your mind and think? There are many people willing to tell you exactly what is right.

God help us all.

Every time we have lived a “movie” like this; the ending inevitably includes mass casualty events.

Maybe we should all read All of the books on every banned book list so we can learn exactly what they don’t want us to know.

I’m singling out my hatred of persnickety liberal vegans on all of my social media for The Three C’s: clicks, clout, and cash. But really, I just want to buy a new car.
