“Emission from God” shows awfully fine craftsmanship in the wordsmithery department.
JD Vance is always going to be strange. To the end of his days. Soulless, but uniquely incapable of imitating human thought and expression. Like a cult acolyte priest for a cult he has no idea about but for whose ceremonies has learned the moves.

Poor JD Vance. He’s caught up in a game but has no idea what the rules are or how to fake it. I blame that on his handlers who didn’t have the brains to choose a decent front man and instead accelerated the unfortunate, inept boy child into a position far over his innate stature. He must dread waking up in the morning.
The howling at sirens is the old "howl with the pack" response, a hold-over from their wolfish ancestors. But I wouldn't expect Vance to have a clue about that. He doesn't have a clue about how to "people," much less how to "dog."
I think that therein lies Vance’s main problem. He’s living proof, along with fascist/racist Peter & Elon, of how computer tech has eviscerated the humane & relational natural abilities of the past/current generations x, y & z.
They don’t have to interact and learn humane & relational skills. Thus, they don’t learn conversation. In Vance’s case he always had his families in WVA and Eastern KY to feel superior toward and down on from the cultural heights of western OH & Cincinnati.
The Georgian Civil War - Reconstructionist writer, Sidney Lanier proved at least twice in his thirty-nine years that one doesn’t require more than a few weeks living in an area to caricature the area so very obscenely as to make it unrecognizable to any native resident.
Vance became a Yale prof and Lanier a Johns Hopkins prof. Neither did anything to earn their institutional cachets. So American: that plumping our “earned-but-nonexistent-amazing-abilities-and-experiences.”
Color me very unimpressed with the entire lot! Let’s reproduce two or three Ta-Hanisi Coates, Andrahati Roys and Erin Morgensterns and then brag about our earned abilities and experiences.
I don't think computer tech or elitist universities created them out of nothing; I just think neurodivergent people tend to gravitate to tech and finance (and elitist universities) and do well there. (I should know: I are one, I've worked in tech for years, and I'm happier than I would have been as a lawyer or political scientist.) It's hard to view neurodivergents working in tech as a bad thing in and of itself -- brilliant people finding a place where they belong and work they do well is critical to surviving the climate crisis, for one thing.
The thing is, these guys got hugely rich and stayed that way because the US's system of taxation is broken, for one thing. Piling up huge fortunes and not being required to even pay as much in taxes as ordinary people do puts them above everyone else. They use their money to insulate themselves from any semblance of reality. And when it comes to solving problems that they've likely contributed to creating, they say "let the peasants eat cake". (They probably also keep some Moet et Chandon in a pretty cabinet.)
So they're mind-bogglingly rich and have innate issues developing any empathy with their fellow humans. What could possibly go wrong?
Americans are always using psychological bs to bring ourselves to the heights of intelligence and brags about how their beachy sandcastle is far more sophisticated than anyone else’s have ever been.
Who does that sound like pocoloco?
Hmmm, can’t quite place it myself.
Honey, each of us is neurodivergent insofar as we have unique neuronal pathways and unique experiences that we react to and interpret through those individually unique biological constructs.
I don’t claim to be someone who falls into a niche (upper-level, of course) on “The Spectrum.” Although, after thirty-plus years as a clinical therapist I’m pretty fully aware of how massive outrage by upper middle class parents at having their own “highly intelligent” babies lumped together with children who met almost no developmental milestones doctors had made up.
But, we’ve cured that problem by turning “neurodivergent” into a word which folks embrace with the fervor evangelicals embrace “Saved.”
Shakespeare probably summed up our psychological terminologies best as “full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.” So it goes.
Try to learn not to self-associate yourself with the attributes Americans laud this week. Learn words like “compassionate,” “humane,” “open,” “loving” and “equanimous.” That will build confidence and an ability to see that in describing what I see in the world that if your name wasn’t Trump, Musk or Vance then I wasn’t meaning to hit anyone else with the stone that caused your yelp.
He was the editor of the Law School Journal. My mistake. Although he also claims that Yale hurt his feelings and made him feel less worthy due to his lack of family income, of course apparently was given a full ride or mostly full ride to law school.
“Following his clerkship, Vance joined the Columbus, Ohio office of Sidley Austin LLP one of the prestige law firms in the United States where he focused on complex litigation and regulatory compliance matters, gaining exposure to high-stakes corporate legal issues.”
I really hope so, but with that crook, Ken Paxton doing who-knows-what with however many millions of Texan votes, I'm not sure the good people in Texas will ever have a really fair election until a whole bunch of people in power in that state either end up in jail or die!

Also enjoyed ‘mouth-sounds at the whoop whoop’ 😆‼️
Was he saying dogs are stupid or ambulances are ? Probably both, because he's so weirdly stupid.

Either way, voters won’t be happy about it.
You’re reading it right. Between them, he’s the idiot. I worry for his dogs and his children.
Justa Dick, wouldn't surprise me if he pulled a NOEM.
Really. If you want to win over humans you must not diss their beloved stupid dogs. Practice this skill, JD.

It's an ingrained DNA response in the computers.
He is really awkward… perhaps another Melon Musk or Peter Theil?
Ronny desantis too!
That’s exactly who I was thinking of!
Me too!! 😄 Both lack interpersonal skills. Can't see how anyone would have voted for them.
It’s all explained by tons of money & expensive marketing.
Are they related?

Peace to you.
Apologies to Arundhati Roy and Ta-Nehisi Coates for my earlier misspellings of their names.
Whew…Radha! That’s a JT post winning comment if ever I’ve read one!!
Thank you.
was JD Vance a professor at Yale...I thought he just want to law school there..I didn't know he was a professor...
He was the editor of the Law School Journal. My mistake. Although he also claims that Yale hurt his feelings and made him feel less worthy due to his lack of family income, of course apparently was given a full ride or mostly full ride to law school.
I wonder what type of law JD specialized in?
Accordg to this rundown at Law Fuel:
“Following his clerkship, Vance joined the Columbus, Ohio office of Sidley Austin LLP one of the prestige law firms in the United States where he focused on complex litigation and regulatory compliance matters, gaining exposure to high-stakes corporate legal issues.”
Many thanks for the correction, Julie Sisk.
Melon Musk!
Laugh laugh laugh laugh.
Isn't Vance Peter's boyfriend? Didn't the Big P fund his campaign?
That’s the only reason Vance won that Senator seat, Peter Thiel’s money, to be able to buy the very best marketing
What about Ted Cruz? There's another charmer.
With any luck, Ted will soon be able to travel to Cancun when he wants -- and just STAY there.
I really hope so, but with that crook, Ken Paxton doing who-knows-what with however many millions of Texan votes, I'm not sure the good people in Texas will ever have a really fair election until a whole bunch of people in power in that state either end up in jail or die!
Colin is going to tee Cruz up nice and square on a field goal tee and boot his malignant ass straight to Cancun for the Win !🏈👍🇺🇸
As a fellow Texan, I’ve got my fingers, toes and eyes crossed that Turd Cruz is an ex-senator real soon now
Because it has to be said,
Fuck Ted Cruz.
And fuck Josh Hawley and Moscow Mitch,too!
I think JD and the asshat Governor of Florida are twin sons of different mothers.
Brothahs from different muthahs.
Perfect
Not strange, WEIRD!
Exactly. He’s like artificial intelligence without the intelligence part. Artificial buffoonery maybe.
Natural stupidity
He's ChatbotJDV
