I haven’t posted here in quite awhile, so here’s some Warhammer.

The techno fascists are getting louder now in their contempt for a free society and democracy. "The entire structure of society will be up for debate and reconfiguration.” Is a threat made by a budding autocrat and a genocidal fascist

I’ll put my chits down on Zuckerberg’s moves not aging well. Too clumsy and over the top, too many bets on a lame duck Duce in a still very closely divided country. More than anything this is a move that points to meta’s tech & global vulnerabilities …

I fear there is deep truth here.

i don’t understand how, psychologically, a person gets to a place where they interpret sign language as some kind of attack or imposition on their life. like, what the fuck is wrong with you?

i’m kind of amazed at how this is just the crudest, most obvious n****rbaiting you can imagine. “the people you don’t like, yeah, they are responsible for everything bad.” and it works!

Consume the subversive.

The man who was revealed to be a paid the Russian asset is now pushing for the USA to enter a continental wide dual front war and getting retweeted by sitting members of Congress.

The sudden urge to move to a small cottage in Scotland and be a writer.

True. There's no reason to pretty this up. It's just throwing out the result. Insurrection in a robe.

A trans woman on tiktok posted about getting her gender marker changed on her Florida drivers license. Florida investigated her over it, canceled her license, and then leaked the story to libs of tiktok to announce it publicly to humiliate her.

They can’t seem to land on if Jan 6th was a good thing or a bad thing. Maybe Ashly Babbit was in Hamas?

Five alarm fire in North Carolina, where right-wing GOP majority on State Supreme Court just blocked certification of Democratic Justice Allison Riggs’ victory & appears to be laying groundwork to overturn the election www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

So a Republican president, unfit to lead, getting the country into needless wars; in which primarily the children of those conservative voters perish in. Feels like I’ve seen this movie before.

the entire "pivot to video" strategy that destroyed many of the sites you used to love was based on Facebook lying about video metrics, convincing everyone that was the only way their content was getting shared they half-heartedly "apologized" for this years later, leaving burning wreckage behind

The GOP is mounting the largest, most brazen post-election disenfranchisement effort since Trump's frivolous litigation in 2020. This time, however, they may get away with it and the legacy media is largely asleep. Follow @democracydocket.com to stay up to date.

Breaking: Mark Zuckerberg has announced the lead for their new biased free Texas based moderation team.

If Trumps America begins attacking NATO allies with military strikes this should be the trigger for the pacific states to begin seriously thinking about creating their own country.

A man who failed a coup is given total control over a military industrial super power while demanding sovereign territory from foreign neighbors based on historical causes while ramping up concentration camps, censoring the press, and business leaders swoon? Hollywood really is all out of ideas.

Well it looks like I might be posting more here after all.

While we’re banning books… Finland is teaching children in school how to recognize fake news and propaganda as part of critical thinking and civic responsibility. Some of this will seem very familiar. Be. Like. Finland.

Just a reminder that our soon-to-be Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, has been a member of a bizarre pseudo-Hindu anti-LGBTQ cult since childhood, and remains active in it today. Thread 1/11

This is nightmare fuel www.nytimes.com/2024/12/31/o...

Andor is a 2022 show about how the decline of public education in a late republican and early imperial period ultimately undermines the empire itself because it can't find even one full room's worth of educated, reasonably intelligent analysts to staff its intelligence bureau

my armchair psychological diagnosis is that the drive to accumulate as much wealth as possible eats away at the drive for self-improvement or the internal desire to cultivate any skills or tastes. these people build huge mounds of treasure and then essentially just sit around looking at it, empty.

I was in a store yesterday and a woman collapsed and hit her head on a shelf, cutting her head open. We stopped the bleeding while the clerk called 911. When the ambulance showed up, the woman didn’t want to go to the hospital at first bc she was worried about the cost. Picture unrelated.

100%

The wealthy have intentionally destroyed class consciousness so that they can exploit the vast majority of people. If we’re going to fight back and ultimately win this class war, it’s time we got familiar with how our politics actually work. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/a-thorough...

This has ALWAYS been what is going to happen. The way that tariffs work makes them perfect vehicles for presidential corruption. If you're on team Trump you get a waiver. If you're not, well ... sucks to be you. That's why the inaugural committee is cleaning up with CEOs.

Of the many, many regulatory failures that have led us here, this is the one I think will blow the foundations.

Micah Meadowcroft, a close aide 2 Russ Vought (Trump’s OMB Director pick) told undercover reporters that P2025’s “2d phase” was “supervised largely by Russ” & includes Executive Orders. (He said they’d avoid press scrutiny by *not* sending these items 2 transition team *work* emails. See post 2). 1/

As we enter into a new American Oligarchy I would like to point out that a pie to the face on national television really does a fantastic job of cutting these fuckers down to size.

Today's right wing lionization of Daniel Penny is the genealogical descendant of Pat Buchanan's 1992 primetime RNC speech, which ended with a riveting but untrue story about young (implicitly white) soldiers defending helpless elderly people from a Black mob.

Sex workers have been sounding the alarm about this for years . The porn industry, largely on its own, has been fighting the laws, and financial regulations that encourage deplatforming. Everything queer — and beyond — is about to learn what it means to be designated “harmful to minors”. FUCK.

Being held for questioning sounds so nice

The gender affirming care ban in Montana has been BLOCKED by the MT Supreme Court in a unanimous decision. Montana has a constitutional right to privacy, including in our healthcare decisions. And today our constitution continues to protect individuals from government overreach.
