 Curiously, there isn't a Wikipedia entry on him.  There's other David Leavitts on the Wikiped, but not the guy we're talking about here.

It's not hard to imagine that he might have Jewish ancestry.  Despite that shit he pulled off in early 2020, he's still keeping afloat and maintaining relevance.  Kind of hard to do that if you're not part of that one big happy family....though, being of a political persuasion seems to be equally as important. 🤔

 There are others, for certain.  But, Fortunate Son is, pretty much, the national anthem for the Vietnam War.  If "national anthem" is the right descriptor here. 😅 
 nostr:npub1jm40a4vk6mf3ugh7cyc6rmcrld33wuqds03xu4agn0fje8l6ydmqfz83x3 is Leavitt a Jewish name? 
 It's Anglo-Norman, actually. 🤔

Most Jewish surnames, at least the ones we're all familiar with, are German....though, I think the German-Jewish surnames are Yiddish.  That could go into differences throughout the diaspora, too. 😵‍💫 
 On my birthday this year, he followed me after I liked a tweet of his.  He eventually stopped following me; maybe he made a mistake.  He didn't block me, at least.

But yeah.  I remember this guy from early 2020.  If I had did what he did, I would be forever remembered for it, and I'd have no chance whatsoever of redemption.

That being said, I forget why there was a price-tag on that toothbrush prop.  Supposedly it was a prop, not an actual toothbrush.  Even so, common sense would dictate that it's not something for sale.  The fact that he went into a tirade about it, though?  What was up with him?  It's like he acted on some kind of impulse.  But, like I said, if I had done what he did....well, I already said it in the previous paragraph. 
 That's just it.  People tell you to go outside and meet people and all that, but quite often, this is what to expect.  Sounds pretty unexciting. 
 I can't code, so I don't know what all that means.  I'll trust in your judgment, though.

 My phone was turned off when the EBA happened.  I was referenced this by someone earlier today.  Something about utilizing 5G to activate something in vaccinated people, as well as the spread of the Marburg virus.  I think the virus was in vaccinated people, but now I forget.

Can we not have another fucking pandemic already?  I'll let this CoViD shit slip, but if we get something in 2024, I'll be very upset. 
 Fuckin' Vietnam, man.  Kind of an overrated war at this rate....but, Vietnam will always have the best soundtrack. 
 The website is very cute, mrs fumo 
 Oh.  Well, yeah; I appreciate this site being gimmicky.  I wonder what December will look like.

I'm not a Mrs., though.  Stop assuming my gender. 
 I thought the Jew feared the samurai.  What's up with you, Japan?

 Uh, some days ago he was outed for questionable interactions with an underage (16YO) chick.

Right now I'm watching a YouTube video here and finding out some rather creepy things he's said to a 12YO.  "Has your period started yet?"  Like, what the fuck? 🤢 😖
Granted, that interaction happened in 2021, long before what recently transpired.  But still.  Oh, and anybody looking forward to Yandere Simulator should do away with their hopes and anticipations. 
 What? 😅 
 Oh.

Well, I don't know.  She clearly doesn't look like a Stacy, so there's a possibility that she may not see redemption.  But, courts are generally biased towards women, so it's surely a 50-50. 
 I was listening to this when I saw your image:

Probably would've been effective if I wasn't listening to any BGM. 😅 
 Whoa; Poa.st is suddenly all orange and stuff.

Is this because it's (almost) Halloween?  I can dig it.

 Looking at ai images gives me a headache and I do believe it is demonic thank you 
 AI imagery = demonic?  That's a mind-blower.

If anything, AI taking over things like art, and even writing & voice-acting, is going to put lots of people out of business.  One proposal which I thunk off the top of my head right now is that it could be a method by the elites, to purge poor people from the world.....but, at the same time, people like indie game-developers could use AI voice-acting for characters in their games, which would actually be cost-effective.  Maybe it depends on whether or not AI programs are widely available, and if they become relegated only to the 1%, that would be cruel, perhaps in this case, "demonic".

Feel free to disprove my opinion; I'm fine with other perspectives. 
 Da chosen pipo, y'aw! ✊🏿

 That's refreshing.

Everybody these days has tattoos, especially women.  I have nothing against tattoos; I just don't get why everybody has one. 
 Oh; if he killed Shinzo, I don't like him then.  That fucker.  Why'd he have to do that? 
 it being manga-only (aside from the live action movie) helps gatekeep it 
 Eh, perhaps.  There is something about this manga that could serve as a "filter". 
 Anybody who puts trust in cloud tech (computing, data storage, etc) is a fucking idiot. 
 The one of the left earned her title.
The one of the right got it through "muh diversity" 
 That, too. 
 One of the articles sounds Ebonic, saying "they" instead of "their".

But, otherwise, the headline on the right sounds more celebratory.

 "Aspergillus".  What an appropriate name.  That being said, I'll have to research this.

Autism can be caused by a fungus, eh?  I never would've suspected that.  I know fungi are creepy and all, but still.  But, as you said, Autism isn't caused strictly by a fungus; what truly causes Autism is still a mystery.  Still, the idea of a fungus causing it shouldn't be hastily dismissed. 
 Wait a minute. If this was 2019, shouldn't we have cured autism soon? 
 Why would they?  Mental illness in [CURRENT YEAR] is to be celebrated, not treated.  Autism was a serious issue back in 2009, but after 2012, Autism became something of significance in identity-politics.

Though, still.  By 2019, you'd think technology would have become so highly advanced....but nope.  It's 2023 and nothing has advanced.  Instead of colonizing Mars or establishing a base on the Moon, we're too busy figuring out all these alleged billions of genders.  Hell, we can't call it "colonization" because colored people will spaz out and relive traumatic experiences of events that happened long before they themselves were born.

Ugh; God help us. 😫

 Well now. 😲

All things considered, I never suspected that.

 At least jazz was more interesting to listen to.  I've seen a clip or two of swing-dancing and that's some impressive shit.  But supposedly one complaint was that they were loud.....and, er, come to think of it, being loud goes into that whole "moon-crickets" thing, which I understand today is a problem.

I guess being loud is a flaw in black culture.  But if it were just that, instead of gang warfare, drive-by shootings, and looting retailers, it couldn't be that bad, could it? 🤔 
 俺が天皇なのは内緒だよ? 
 Your secret is safe with me. (: 
 I think Highschool of the dead had a fatguy parody of that character, he looks very similar. But ... 
 Good point.  HOTD (the anime, at least) was pretty good on its own merits.  Saeko was best girl, in my opinion.  Can't ever go wrong anime tiddy, either.

That being said, I Am a Hero is a rather curious take on the genre.  One bonus about the story is that it doesn't start after the outbreak, but rather, it all unfolds and things follow up after.  As such, though, I Am a Hero starts off pretty slow....thus, it has to be given a chance.  Now that I said that, maybe that's why there won't be an anime adaptation....or, if there is one, they'll skip the "boring shit" and get right into the action, which I personally wouldn't like them to do.

> "I think Highschool of the dead had a fatguy parody of that character, he looks very similar."

Huh.  I saw the anime a couple of years ago, but there's no way I would've remembered that.  Now that I'm reading this manga, I may have to check again.

It's ridiculous how this hasn't been adapted into an anime.

May be too soon to judge, because I've only read 8 volumes of it, but I've been enjoying it.  It has quite the potential for an anime adaptation.  Maybe Netflix will consider it.....oh, wait; forget that.

Anyway, if any of you here haven't read it yet, you should.

 I still don't get how being into anime makes someone a degenerate.  I'd say that weeaboos, otaku's, NEET's, and whatever similar are more like "misfits".  Maybe normies would see weebs as "degenerate", but that's because they think anime's for pedophiles.

 I don't get it.

Or maybe I do, but I'm looking at it from a realistic point of view and not a philosophical one, and if it's not from a philosophical view, I could be wrong. 😅

Curiously, my friend got his Twitter account back.  I wonder why mine hasn't yet.  Maybe he got lucky.  Then again, it's sounding more and more like people should get that checkmark if they want to actually use Twitter, and I'm still not keen on that.

 Hard to say for certain, but I've had a suspicion for a while now about Johnny, something about him being seen as "valuable".  Now that he's in police custody, he might get let off the hook; I speculate that it will be corpos committing bribery, or some Khazar will infantilize him so much that people are moved to tears and he gets let go....though, in fairness, to that speculation, it'd be hard to say he's a child, because despite him being black and being in his early 20's, he looks older, more like an adult.

Who knows what he truly is?  All I can say for certain is that Logan Paul (indirectly?) started a trend....and, to think, that was back in 2018.

 I've been hearing something about the Yakuza getting on Johnny's ass over all this.  But, if it is the Yakuza, it might be hard to tell; the people warning him weren't wearing well-tailored suits, and I couldn't see any tattoos on them.  That being said, imagine if Johnny was heckling some well-dressed Japanese goon in shades reaching into his blazer. 🫢 🤭

 In fairness, you can blame that on the people who pushed this on black people.

It's actually quite a bit of a downgrade, too.  Think about it.  Before all this hippety-hoppity yo-yo-nigga gangsta shit, they had jazz and swing-dancing.
