A fairly light post week, as I was traveling (if you must know, I helped my sister get her second car from New Mexico to Jamestown, NY). 

Saturday, June 27: The final installment of the Glorious Garbage of B-cinema, a syllabus if you will with where to find all this stuff

[The Syllabus: A Viewing Guide to Everything We’ve Been Talking AboutYou can’t go to the grindhouse anymore. But you can watch everything it showed. Here’s where to start.![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/11/f5/11f5bb9f-30c4-445e-afa3-85a47d260f6e/content/images/icon/ChatGPT-Image-Feb-21--2026-at-11_59_50-AM-d52f69fa-4cee-46e8-8d27-99b5157574b4.png)Sweaty's CornerGeoff Anderson![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/11/f5/11f5bb9f-30c4-445e-afa3-85a47d260f6e/content/images/thumbnail/sweaty-syllabus-f956a1c3-f1ec-4df8-b9db-b3a2e63f87fe.png)](https://www.sweatyspice.com/the-syllabus-a-viewing-guide-to-everything-weve-been-talking-about/)

[Glorious Garbage - Cinema to relish in its badness - Sweaty’s CornerThe era of just trashy cinema, bad SciFi, men in rubber suits, slashers, soft porn adjacent drive ins, and the exploitation films drove movie making in the 50’s thru the 70’s and the advent of VCR’s. Revisit those glorious titles!![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/11/f5/11f5bb9f-30c4-445e-afa3-85a47d260f6e/content/images/icon/ChatGPT-Image-Feb-21--2026-at-11_59_50-AM-b30fc6e3-5e05-4a72-84fe-86ee01780968.png)Sweaty's Corner![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/11/f5/11f5bb9f-30c4-445e-afa3-85a47d260f6e/content/images/thumbnail/sweaty-grindhouse-movies-36d4e189-c50c-403e-86cd-da5c31235c5f.png)](https://www.sweatyspice.com/tag/cinema/)

Monday, June 29: Back to the Billionaire Victims Club, this is the apex predator of these whiny bitches, Elon Musk:

[This Fucking Guy: Elon MuskBillionaire Victims Club, Vol. 1\. As I drafted this, I was watching SPCX lose $400B in market value. Only about $1.5T more to go to be “right priced” Glorious!![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/11/f5/11f5bb9f-30c4-445e-afa3-85a47d260f6e/content/images/icon/ChatGPT-Image-Feb-21--2026-at-11_59_50-AM-6f17ce37-12a0-4c4a-8931-ac1cdf29490a.png)Sweaty's CornerGeoff Anderson![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/11/f5/11f5bb9f-30c4-445e-afa3-85a47d260f6e/content/images/thumbnail/sweaty-musk-bvc-5805371c-0f77-4eca-8669-76919933471b.png)](https://www.sweatyspice.com/this-fucking-guy-elon-musk/)

Tuesday, June 30: My grumbling about the temporary allies – the Never Trump crowd – once again spurred a couple of posts. I was struggling to sleep on the road, so I did a bit of research and writing. The first post is The Architects of the Rubble where I slice into how these helpful Never Trumpers really had more than a glancing role in how we got to where we are:

Wednesday, July 1: Back to the BVC, and this time I tear into Peter Thiel (there's a theme, a lot of these fuckers are diaspora from PayPal...) 

[This Fucking Guy: Peter ThielBillionaire Victims Club, Vol. 2\. - Europe has looked through Palantir and seen whose face is on the other end. Not the Antichrist. Just Peter Thiel, 58, looking older than his years, spending $40k a quarter on young people’s blood, waiting for the lockup to expire.![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/11/f5/11f5bb9f-30c4-445e-afa3-85a47d260f6e/content/images/icon/ChatGPT-Image-Feb-21--2026-at-11_59_50-AM-5e982708-e3fe-4f1a-9eba-867f709e77d0.png)Sweaty's CornerGeoff Anderson![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/11/f5/11f5bb9f-30c4-445e-afa3-85a47d260f6e/content/images/thumbnail/sweaty-thiel-bvc-3e35bb7b-9b55-404b-a0fe-1f603d1ee460.png)](https://www.sweatyspice.com/this-fucking-guy-peter-thiel/)

Man, that felt good to write. 

Thursday, July 2: On Tuesday, I was hiking with my sister on this short trail to the [Eternal Flame Falls](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternal%5FFlame%5FFalls?ref=sweatyspice.com) (it was really cool) and on the way out I slipped and really sprained my ankle (left) so that left me incapacitated on Wednesday, so I put extra effort into the analysis and the result was a follow on to The Architects of the Rubble. This runs looooong (about 3,700 words), but I compare the trilogy of assholes to the Mafia (Donors as the Dons, the Democratic consultants as the Capos, and the Never Trumpers as the enforcers). 

[The Protection RacketThe consultant class are the Capos. Never Trump are the enforcers. The donor class is in the back of the restaurant. And your midnight ActBlue email? That’s the vig. Welcome to the protection racket.![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/11/f5/11f5bb9f-30c4-445e-afa3-85a47d260f6e/content/images/icon/ChatGPT-Image-Feb-21--2026-at-11_59_50-AM-c73360c6-911f-46da-8615-bc7c9fb04e94.png)Sweaty's CornerGeoff Anderson![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/11/f5/11f5bb9f-30c4-445e-afa3-85a47d260f6e/content/images/thumbnail/sweaty-protection-racket-0d1eae30-6863-4b1f-91e2-a6753e59f352.png)](https://www.sweatyspice.com/the-protection-racket/)

Friday, July 3: Installment three of the BVC, a first time for Jeff Bezos to get the "This Fucking Guy" treatment:

[This Fucking Guy: Jeff BezosThe Amazon logo smiles A to Z — delightful, frictionless, friendly. Then Bezos got unlimited money and no brand consultants, and built a rocket the entire internet immediately recognized as a penis with Peyronie’s disease. The logo lies. The rocket does not.![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/11/f5/11f5bb9f-30c4-445e-afa3-85a47d260f6e/content/images/icon/ChatGPT-Image-Feb-21--2026-at-11_59_50-AM-b7eeb512-4295-45c0-8a08-61efdfaea09a.png)Sweaty's CornerGeoff Anderson![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/11/f5/11f5bb9f-30c4-445e-afa3-85a47d260f6e/content/images/thumbnail/sweaty-bvc-bezos-40696e62-dd9c-4512-bf54-7e69696e91ce.png)](https://www.sweatyspice.com/this-fucking-guy-jeff-bezos/)

From The Shitpost Dude, I did a post on what I saw on the drive:

Anyhow, I hope you enjoyed reading these as much as I enjoyed writing them!

Have a fabulous (and safe) holiday!

Til next week, au revoir!
