Leonardo Boiko’s Diary

Antônio Carlos Magalhães (aka ACM), notoriously corrupt Bahian landowner, has just died. These are headlines from news.google.com.br:

• “Politicians lament ACM’s death”
• “ACM created opportunities for young politicians”
• “ACM was very passionate about his beliefs”
• “It’s not possible to understand Brazilian politics without knowing about ACM”
• “ACM is part of the country’s history”

What a bunch of disgusting two-faced bastards! Can’t they be honest at least once? To quote Desciclopédia, ACM is dead, better him than me! Good riddance! Just because the bloodthirsty feudal lord is dead we must make him into a saint now?

Let me summon the power of Godwin to make a little point here:

• “Hitler created opportunities for young politicians”
• “Hitler was very passionate about his beliefs”
• “It’s not possible to understand German politics without knowing about Hitler”
• “Hitler is part of German history”

Even people I had some respect for were pathetic:

• “[Rock musician] Lobão characterizes senator as ‘a national passion’”
• “I’d like to be at the funeral of the great congressman and very correct human being that was Antônio Carlos Magalhães — said [Green Party politician] Gabeira”

Fucking hypocrite scumbags.

Bonus post: postmortem instructions for my enemies

Am I dead? You used to hate me? Great! Have some balls and expose your grudge to the world! Here, I made you some press statements in case you’re too lazy to think:

• A ruiner of families, an awful role model for young people. The author of [a book of mine] and [another book of mine] won’t be missed.
• He was a cold-hearted egoistic creep. How could he do all of that only to get a few comic books?
• Boiko? He was a fucking arrogant fag, I couldn’t stand him.

Also: another bonus post: postmortem instructions for my friends

Orgy.

From today on, I’m replacing “dear readers”, “people”, “guys” and other such vocatives with “kittens & cats”.

Moths! I mean, what about moths? They’re like butterflies, except not. Butterflies are colorful and lively and loving, but moths are pale with antennæ and fur and they kill themselves on fire and it looks like they’re made out of pieces of velvet and silk — silk actually comes from moths! There are moths mimicking wasps, white jaguar moths, ice-cream–coloured moths, poison & poison resistant moths, moths that scream and have skull designs. And other than your standard nocturnal moth, there are also crepuscular moths! Isn’t it AMAZING? Imagine how it feels like to be an animal especially optimized for late afternoons! When I was a kid I had a little book “Butterflies & Moths” and I’m like totally partial to moths! Moths, w00t!

Fact: moths are butterflies from the moon

Two hundred bad comics. Waai, I love bad things! Especially when they include Shaman King fanfiction.

<leoboiko> i’m sad with the mahō sensei negima manga
<ehabkost_raisama> why?
<leoboiko> it’s a familiar world but at the same time so fantastic, with plenty of ghosts, vampires, demons, robots, swordsmans, time travelers living together in daily routine, going to classes, to the supermarked
<leoboiko> i’m disappointed that the real world has nothing of the sort.
<leoboiko> i have a similar reaction to miyazaki: to this day i’m still sad that there are no totoros.
<leoboiko> indeed, the only reasonable explanation is that the universe is random. if it had an intelligent creator, i’d tell him “man, your work is so subar”
<leoboiko> in my universe world war 2 would be fought with GIANT ROBOTS
