Another week, and time for the wrap. 

Saturday June 20 - The wrap up of the Glorious Garbage, a take on the B-circuit of movies from the 50's thru the mid to late 1970's

[Last Feature, Lights Up: The Death of the Grindhouse and the Afterlife That Nobody PlannedOne last post, to document the end of this era, and why it is still relevant. And why I have so much of this physical media in my collection.![](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-0054cb40-efea-491c-a1b7-857115fe4a20.png)Sweaty's CornerGeoff Anderson![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/11/f5/11f5bb9f-30c4-445e-afa3-85a47d260f6e/content/images/thumbnail/sweaty-grindhouse-movies-1-ddc39be5-fe73-4cf6-9609-cebfffe9307d.png)](https://www.sweatyspice.com/last-feature-lights-up-the-death-of-the-grindhouse-and-the-afterlife-that-nobody-planned/)

Sunday June 21 - I was going to take a day off, but that fucking guy Bill Ackman really needed another post:

[Bill Ackman Runs Everything Like a Hostile Takeover, Including His PrinciplesBill Ackman spent a year positioning himself as the conscience of American academia. Then his wife’s dissertation came up. Turns out his standards have a bid-ask spread.![](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-f13098e6-d0ce-454c-8981-15661f99449b.png)Sweaty's CornerGeoff Anderson![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/11/f5/11f5bb9f-30c4-445e-afa3-85a47d260f6e/content/images/thumbnail/sweaty-balance-4f0dbd39-922d-4a3d-927b-231068a44938.png)](https://www.sweatyspice.com/bill-ackman-runs-everything-like-a-hostile-takeover-including-his-principles/)

Monday June 22 - The last legs of the [*Long Arc series*](https://www.sweatyspice.com/tag/long-arc/) drops to try to wrap it all up:

[The Broken Mirror and the Empty ToolkitSeries: The Closed Loop, Part 1![](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-3e580e74-e989-4c97-a0f1-e074c457ec71.png)Sweaty's CornerGeoff Anderson![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/11/f5/11f5bb9f-30c4-445e-afa3-85a47d260f6e/content/images/thumbnail/sweaty-broken-mirror-f35ee53b-a2d4-45ec-9396-5b23dafee74c.png)](https://www.sweatyspice.com/the-broken-mirror-and-the-empty-toolkit/)

Tuesday June 23 - the wrap on that Long Arc:

Also, I found Paul Gilbert just ripping on an acoustic a variant of his staple, Technical Difficulties:

[Music: Paul Gilbert - AcousticPaul Gilbert is one of my icons. I discovered him in the late 1990s, his work with Mr Big was eye opening, and that got me to look into his band Racer X, and from there, I was hooked. I have as much of his recorded music as I can![](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-bf25f700-8e84-461f-8976-73ecf077a7e3.png)Sweaty's CornerGeoff Anderson![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/11/f5/11f5bb9f-30c4-445e-afa3-85a47d260f6e/content/images/thumbnail/card-sweaty-1-22b23509-564f-4198-b75c-568c77ffe130.png)](https://www.sweatyspice.com/music-paul-gilbert-acoustic/)

Thursday June 25: The revelation that for two decades Peter Thiel has had a secret text (and now Signal) chain with some really obnoxious fuckers, and that caused me to resurrect the Billionaire Victims Club. This post begins this series, and it is *exactly* what you think. People who are wealthy beyond anything relatable, yet they still feel like they are getting a raw deal:

[The Billionaire Victims Club, Season TwoA group chat, a tax, and the men who’d like you to know they’re the real victims here![](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-c051a37b-95ff-41b4-92a9-06463ba046c4.png)Sweaty's CornerGeoff Anderson![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/11/f5/11f5bb9f-30c4-445e-afa3-85a47d260f6e/content/images/thumbnail/sweaty-bvc-5645f4ed-ceca-444a-a97b-e2031bff1432.png)](https://www.sweatyspice.com/the-billionaire-victims-club-season-two/)

### One last note:

I have a theory about Substack's algorithms from reading people's posts on how they are getting ratfucked unless they fit the algorithms.

To test this out, I created a persona, The Shitposting Dude, and created a stack (https://www.shitpostdude.com) and have been taking posts from here (or outlines that became posts) and running them through an LLM to recast them in the voice of "[The Dude](https://thebiglebowski.fandom.com/wiki/The%5FDude?ref=sweatyspice.com)" with tons of references from The Big Lebowski. 

Still in its early days, but if you want to check it out, and possibly give it a follow or a subscribe you can help jumpstart the experiment. (note: paid subscriptions are turned on there, I do not expect or want anyone, especially my Sweaty subscribers to actually pay.)

Here's a post on the Paypal Mafia:

[These Guys Have a Lot of Gall, ManThey dressed up as the mob for a magazine photo in 2007\. The Dude thought that was funny. It is considerably less funny now that they’re running the government, man.![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/11/f5/11f5bb9f-30c4-445e-afa3-85a47d260f6e/content/images/icon/icon-4944c800-74ce-48e7-897c-7906b7b76fef.svg)The Dude ShitpostsJeffery Lebowski![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/11/f5/11f5bb9f-30c4-445e-afa3-85a47d260f6e/content/images/thumbnail/https-3A-2F-2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com-2Fpublic-2Fimages-2F59e39c34-20d4-4264-90a3-5337639c90c5_1440x1191-d9ddbe7d-b49d-4a2d-87a0-a825557bf86d.jpeg)](https://www.shitpostdude.com/p/these-guys-have-a-lot-of-gall-man?ref=sweatyspice.com)
