Grumpy old Doomer, antitheist, anarchist, anti-natalist and not too invested in the biotic freakshow.
Hoover Dam is boiling frogs: 5/17 turbines can produce electricity. One is in maintenance. The dam operates 50% of the max output now. Water level at Lake Mead is 1040.56 ft (new record low) now. At 1035 ft the power output drops to 30% of the max output. 950 ft. = 0%. #LakeMead #ColoradoRiver
Finally some good news! It’s now easier than ever to be a Doomer. 60 years ago when I started dooming it was really difficult to convince people it was a valid life choice. I had lots of evidence but it was never enough to convince the fools. But I was patient, I gathered more. Nobody stopped me.
Edinburgh Festival are pleased to announce they have sold out ALL the shows by convicted millionaire paedophiles whose convictions were overturned after financial appeals were lodged. The human face of paedophiles has been shamefully overlooked for far too long. A DVD of the show available soon.
Were I a monster I would hardly be making this heartfelt plea to sad Doomer! I know it is hard to bear witness to anxiety and grief and despair in the age of rancid idiocy. I know this world can be distressing and malevolent. But you are Doomers. Stop letting the side down. Don’t embarrass yourself.
Maybe Van Gogh was a half decent painter but he was a shite philosopher. So when he died saying ‘the sadness will last forever’ he was talking bollix. Tears don’t belong in the universe, just in the very temporary biotic freakshow. The one primed for extinction not for painting.
I didn’t expect the Black mountain or the Black Sea to be black or the blue hills to be blue. You can hardly believe how enraged I was when I first saw the White Cliffs.
A wise person always starts a long journey at the end and from there they works their way backwards. There’s a grave at both ends. The journey between can be fetishised and sold to Hollywood but it’s mostly forgotten.
Here is a party political broadcast from the Doom party. Don’t vote for us. Your vote disgusts us. Do something useful, or useless. Do not abdicate your existence to suited fools. Do not connive in your own mutilation. Make your world work for you. Despise many. Love few. You’ll be a long time dead
Most people don’t understand that Doom comes with its own laughter track. Doomers are really giggling stoics who laugh hardest when there’s nothing laughable left in the world. Read our new book A Banana Skin for Humanity.
Worry you might have a Doom addiction? Do you find yourself accidentally catching a snippet of negative climate news everywhere you turn? Think that things mostly are a bit shit in spite of your best efforts? If yes, why not join the VOID’s new support group How to be a Clueless Fucking Normie.
Before I gre up to be a teenager I had a job whitewashing the last dying cottages on the mountain. I didn’t know then that it would be both the best job I ever had and a metaphor. (If you know, you know)
Doomers are naturally romantic. Discuss calmly with reference to this poem.
It is exciting to plant trees but more exciting to watch them burn. Discuss angrily.
Having desulphurised road, rail, construction, agricultural and marine diesels we got stuck into plane engines. Sure we were aware of the risks but we needed to sell the technology dream. And people want cheap, guilt free flights.
I was speaking to your granny in the hospice and she doesn’t want to see you again. Apparently you’re doing her head in with your visits, moidering on about miracle cures and new research. Also she says she’ll strangle you with those effing rosary beads next time they appear.
Politics is only brought into disrepute when we allow a comically inadequate character to challenge a hardworking, decent patriot like Count Binface.
