While I'm talking about YouTube stuff I just watched... Coffeezilla uploaded a full interview, start-to-finish, with Twitch streamer Ice Posideon, concerning his recent c*ypto rugpull fuckery. And it's just fucking awful.
Dude runs the exact same defense scammers always run— "It's your own fault you got ripped off, you shouldn't have trusted me in the first place"— and just openly acknowledges he fleeced his fans for 300k, which he'll be keeping.

Unbelievable.
He COULD give it back, he agrees. but he won't. Cuz he doesn't want to. And nothing, as of now, can force him to.

Just positively sociopathic.
You can HEAR the grin on his face when he talks.

SPEAKING OF WHICH

This is more than can fit into a tweet, but part of the traditional male fear of "witches" or herbalists/midwives/etc. was the abject knowledge that, in a world predating divorce, many of them were capable of providing "angel-maker" concoctions to fed-up wives.
Consider the Philadelphia Poison Ring, and the Angel Makers of Nagyrév, and other such cases or organized husband/child/in-law/relative disposal, often via arsenic. These two rings alone killed hundreds.

And now, consider how many likely went unnoticed.
As the primary caregivers in the home, wives/mothers were often put in charge of seeing to the sick. Which meant they were the only ones allowed in the sickroom, other than their victim.

I have no doubt countless wives throughout history made themselves widows intentionally.

LRT: This is tangential, but this makes think about how women's jewelry, often given to them as gifts by family and often dismissed by men as Silly Girls Liking Shiny Crap, were actually a socially acceptable escape hatch from bad situations and relationships.
They could be pawned at a moment's notice for cash their husbands didn't have to know about, in an age when women weren't allowed their own bank accounts.
Time and a lack of education related to women's liberation obfuscates the hell out of this.

45 years ago, the Viking 1 sent back this image of the Martian surface.

It would be thoroughly fucking unbearable to talk to A Certain Kind of Person for the next several years.
They connected this to everything. And I do mean EVERYTHING.

The Great Pyramids of Giza. Atlantis. UFOs/Aliens/Area 51. Psychic projection. If you believed in any kinda horseshit, the "face on Mars" proved it, and there was no convincing you otherwise.

In an effort to continue my determined fuck-this-it's-Friday procrastination, AND keep talking about cars: the Carolina Squat vehicle modification was severely restricted (functionally banned in (ironically) North Carolina, in December. And I have... feelings.
For reference, this is a (admittedly, severely) squatted truck.
Supposedly, this mod was inspired by "trophy trucks." Those are racing trucks that compete in rally and off-road, and their fronts are elevated so their front ends don't smash into the ground when they land big jumps.

That's the story, anyway.

"Artistic Genius" does not exist. Scratch the paint and you'll find

- A small child who was enthusiastically encouraged by caregivers when they showed an interest in art
-The child of artists
-The idle rich with all the time in the world to practice
-Trolls forgiven by history.
I'm serious about that last one, too. Fauvists? Trolling. Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood? Trolling. Impressionists? Rich AND trolling. Futurists? Biggest trolls ever.
"Pft, Spike, Michelangelo carved The Pietà at age 24!"

Yes, after a childhood with a stonemason, extensive practice, apprenticeship at *age 13* to a master fresco painter, & instruction at a magnet school set up by the goddang Medici family.

You'd probably be pretty good, too.
