About Parthian Shot

A rant-ish daydream where bullshit is excluded, except when it is necessarily spread as fertilizer. I talk about Tarot cards from time to time as one additional means and filter of assessing the world and the possibilities. You don't have to believe anything. Better to know than believe. Better to release than enslave. Better to open than to close. Better to run than to sit. Better to stop than to harm. Generally. parthianshot.substack.com

Not a president

No shame to reach out for help when you need it. Comforting to know our leaders are big enough to meet in dark alleys and be told what they need to hear from people who know a lot more than they do.

Preach It Pete

When you realize this is actually what the god of these people wants to happen, the path to your conversion to atheism will be much easier. LETHALITY!—it's really all the regime has to offer.

Pointy Parts

Another in our series of short, bitter bonus bits where people you may recognize say what they mean instead of what they want you to think. Get full access to Parthian Shot at parthianshot.substack.com/subscribe [https://parthianshot.substack.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=CTA_4]

Reality, camels, and sinking battleships

Why is this Al-generated war policy debate so much more interesting than all the tired old completely discredited eggspurts telling you Trump has totally saved the day in spite of being a horrible person? In part it is because the brazen artificiality does not get in the way of the fun stuff—the conjectural cotton candy synthesized into deeply troubling plausibility. And in a pretty fair and balanced exchange.

Questions and answers in the time of tyranny

Earlier today I posted the text of this podcast as a note, and I decided it might be useful to speak it for those who cannot or will not read. As I say in the note and podcast: “If the state does not fear the people, the state will do anything to the people that it wants.” That raises many questions, and inspires answers that may not always be reassuring. But liberty is often not reassuring and comforting. That also is an answer to the questions raised in these dark days.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍

Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
