Journal Entries July 2024, by Adam Lehrer

Content milling hard here, immortalizing that which would otherwise be ephemeral

One of the many reasons Gen X phags like Howard Stern are so triggered by Donald Trump is that Trump is exactly who they were in the ‘90s; loud, braggadocious, brash, controversial and scandalous; the difference is Trump never changed and they allowed themselves to be castrated by jobless millennials

“Punk” needs to stop being the basis for all sub-culture. It threatens no one. It is a glorification of the absence of ambition and the narrowing of scope. It rages against a machine that does not exist. Every bureaucrat in Washington likely considered themselves to be “punk” and lived in nasty art squats to preach their retarded anarchic ethic and rebel against their dads, but nevertheless found their “fuck the man” politics to be perfectly at home, WITH “THE MAN!” THE man IS PUNK, and probably queer, too. Is there a prison slang term that functions as the antonym of “punk?” The punk gets punked out, but who does the punking? The top? The DOM? Fine by me. From now on forward, all culture will flow downwards from DOM ROCK! PUNK ROCK IS DEAD!

These motherfuckers are so low rent with their lies. Yesterday, Joe Biden is fit to lead. Tomorrow, Kamala is Queen.

I just saw that transgender artist and DJ Julianna Huxtable chimping out on X (her account doesn’t exist all of a sudden so I can’t link to the tweet) about speaking to a high school in Germany and being solely recognized for the fact that she once appeared on the Red Scare podcast. I completely forgot that she had ever done the podcast, but now remembering as much I realize that her appearance might’ve been the first time I ever heard the show. Mutual friend Mathieu Malouf sent it to me because it was in the wake of Darja Bajagic and Boyd Rice’s canceled show at Greenspon Gallery some years back. When asked about the controversy, Huxtable said something like, “ermmm like yeah like dis Boyd Wice he sound like rayciss to me but like erm who currsss” like she was clearly offended by Boyd Rice but didn’t even have the stomach to claim her position in that moment. It’s lovely to know that she’s currently haunted by the podcast and that in most corners of the world is solely recognizable by her appearance on it. Trashy person.

The inner sanctum, the bedside table. Tapes, art, books, anabolic steroids, cologne, gizmos and gadgets. Never understood the whole “minimize your life” neoliberal bullshit. Collecting is the most enriching form of cultural engagement, even if most of this stuff ends up unused and ornamental, I like to look at it. It reminds me that I’ve spent my life cultivating tastes, exploring history and aesthetics and athletics, and I’ll never get rid of any of it. I’ll storage locker it if I have to. This is what I will pass on, a fraction of it anyways.

I walked past two assumedly Gen X or boomer liberal women discussing the potential horrors of so-called “Project 2025” which is of course a fringe theory on the right that has little consequence in the actual Trump platform but has been completely memed into the liberal media consciousness. It’s not real. It proves how utterly programmed these libtards are. You can literally take anything and meme it into existence and these people will internalize it as mantra. They don’t even know what it means, and yet they've been galvanized by their fear of it. They’ve completely lost the capacity for critical thought. Typically you shouldn’t be judged for your political party preference but we’re beyond that point. How can these people claim to be artists, philosophers or the general forebears of free thought and creative expression while adhering to an AI meme mantra that just brainwashes the fuck out of anyone even somewhat foreign to digital spheres. I see it all the time with my parents. I’ll explain my position, they’ll get to a point where they almost see the point of what I’m saying, but then as epiphany dawns upon them it’s like a signal is sent to the chips in their brains and they shut me down, tell me to stop talking, and divert back to programming. Our candidate, Donald Trump, was literally shot at. We’re the opposition. We’re the Avant-Garde, and we’re about to go mainstream.

When they come for me, I’ll make like Ryan Garcia and go straight to rehab. Hell, I could probably use it.

How can these people trust the same ghouls who couldn’t see what was plainly visible in 2019? These guys rigged the entire media infrastructure on behalf of a man who, regardless of it being due to Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s or plain old getting old and feeble, was clearly sick and unfit to serve in the Oval Office only to have their manufactured, Gob Bluth “I’ve made a horrible mistake” moment five years later? Five years too late.

Not to sound like a whiner, but I’m tired of getting fucked over. If there are multimillionaires that value my voice, put the money on the goddamn table. I’m at the point where I might go compete with the migrants for Uber Eats pittance pay.

I don’t stand with MAGA because I hate black people, Latinos, trans people, gay people, or any kind of people. I stand with MAGA because I hate libtards and they need to be destroyed.

Half of what is now considered “high art” is made by black girls with Yale MFAs painting Alice Neil rip-offs, and the other half is made by white and Asian girls ripping off Cronenberg imagery.

Cancellation is merely the confirmation hearing of the proverbial red pilling.

Neocons are Trotskyist commies, never forget that. While the modern neocons likely don’t even remember this, neoconservatism was a post Trotskyist ideology that sought to globalize liberal capitalism so that eventually global revolution could commence and overcome capitalism. They are filthy commies so of course Max Boot is married to a South Korean spy. The globalist agenda is their country, not America. Fuck them. On top of that, they are all the nerdiest unfuckable loser college republican ass dorks in politics. Just repulsive compulsive liars who feel no remorse because they’re playing a long game towards realizing a decades long ideological vision.

Ye retiring from music in the aftermath of Vultures would be a baller move and proof he’s the best of his generation. Who else simply has the balls to admit when they're out of ideas? Put out the album of 2024 with the most memorable launch and bow out. Beautiful. That said, he’s a Gemini and will likely change his mind.

Chaédria LaBouvier is a 40-year-old woman and also a curator at the Guggenheim. She got famous for getting Nancy Spector, the museum’s long time curatorial head, fired for accusations of racism. An internal investigation revealed that no such racism occurred, but Spector was still fired and LaBouvier still prospers. Recently, LaBouvier revealed her lunacy even more after a weeks long tirade against some random guy expressing his desire to take his new girlfriend to a screening of Michael Mann’s cinematic remake of Miami Vice. She then spent the week doubling down on her claims and growing increasingly psychotic and indignant. The Guggenheim never commented. If this isn’t evidence of the tyranny of DEI, I don’t know what is.

Basquiat, like Dali, is so over saturated in commerce that hipsters and tastemakers who like to have opinions about things have written him off. Basquiat was as original and unique as it gets in 20th Century painting. The painting below is called “Obnoxious Liberals” so real ones have known the libtard problem for a long time.

Legit love this new Denzel Curry mixtape, King of the Mischievous South Vol. 2. Classic southern bonehead trap rap but with extremely memorable beats and catchy hooks, not to mention features by underground rap legends of the Deep South; the presence of the iconic deep cut king of weird rap Kingpin Skinny Pimp is particularly dope. It even has that addictive bangerness that The Chronic had. Good shit.

Lmao what the fuck is this shit!? Ugly ass motherfucker who openly admitted his entire career is a bad Brando impression talking down to one of the most successful inventors of our era !? Last week you were willing to vote for a bag of bones ?

300,000 of his own people dead for what reason? Because NATO told him to. This is the weakest leader I’ve ever seen. A banana republic dictator conceptualized by reality tv hacks and shadowy interest groups. He should be tried and convicted for mass murder of his own people.
