The Snitch State: inform on your colleagues if they think of hiring people who aren’t white

Horrific bowing to the new regime

Related to my column yesterday. They do not want you to have access to accurate information. They want you stewing in galaxy-brain alternate-reality bullshit, because when you have no way to verify the truth, your emotions will become your worldview, and they can manipulate those.

This matters. Not because I think Trump is capable of mercy or empathy towards these vulnerable groups. But because it is a public act of defiance. Contrast that with all these other powerful people in this country signaling nothing but appeasement and obedience.

“We just released the leaders of two terrorist organizations,” a counterterrorism expert and senior Trump DHS official told me. “In the name of politics, we have just released violent criminals out onto our streets.”

The richest man in the world being a Nazi and at the right hand of the fascist President is maybe the most potent lesson in the evils of capitalism and the lengths that the ruling class will go to hoard their wealth and keep their power.

The Bears got their guy. Ben Johnson, architect of one of the best offenses in football, comes to Chicago and the franchise known for its offensive ineptitude to be its 19th head coach.

“The evils of capitalism are as real as the evils of militarism and evils of racism." -Martin Luther King Jr.

The millennial experience is growing up with the internet, and watching it go from a free, open, democratic, and eclectic ecosystem to a wasteland of five websites controlled by billionaires, and now seeing it quickly fill up with AI-generated slop. I want our World Wide Web back.

One of the richest men in the world went on Joe Rogan's podcast to complain that companies don't have enough "masculine energy" anymore, whatever that means. www.jezebel.com/mark-zuckerb...

Bears fans when a playoff game-winning field goal doinks *in*

Interesting strategy: Tell a big chunk of your customer base you don't give a shit what they think, only what people who hate them think, then insult them again when they leave bsky.app/profile/mims...

Elon Musk: Why isn’t there enough water in California? Grok (burning through an entire lake to generate an answer): Wokeness

1. Hundreds of companies who pledged to stop donating to members of Congress who voted to overturn the election on 1/6/21 have broken their promise over the last 4 years But we've identified 10 promise keepers: Farmers Airbnb Expedia Nike Clorox General Mills Holland & Hart Qurate Whirlpool Lyft

A visualization of the razor thin margin of this election. Of the 244+ million voting-eligible population: 31.5% voted for Trump 30.6% voted for Harris 37.7% did not vote Popular is not a word that would accurately describe Trump or the MAGA movement.

The Bears are the fifth-worst team in football since firing Lovie Smith at the end of the 2012 season. Records 2013-24: 28. Bears 76-120 (.388) 29. Giants 70-125-1 (.360) 30. Browns 68-127-1 (.349) 31. Jets 68-128 (.347) 32. Jaguars 62-134 (.316)

who is she I don’t know her

The amount of times I've been blocked on this app for how little I comment is hilarious. People really don't like being called out on here for being ridiculous.

Still trying to understand what I watched on Thursday Night Football. Was that real?

Why I am fine with Eat the Rich: Jeff Bezos announcing that he's marrying his next wife, Lauren Sanchez, in a lavish $600m ceremony. They live in Florida. $600m would cover 2 years of FL k-12 free lunch programs. Last year the state discontinued the office that helped schools file for free lunches.

"Elon Musk is backing the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD)," writes @politico.com, "The AfD is surging despite its growing radicalism and persistent warnings from mainstream leaders that it is an extremist, even Nazi, party." www.politico.eu/article/elon...

LA Times owner asks editorial board to ‘take a break’ from writing about Trump Billionaire Patrick Soon-Shiong, who said paper is ‘echo chamber’, also blocked paper’s board from endorsing Harris www.theguardian.com/media/2024/d...

@nickwhalen.bsky.social where have you and Robert been? Hope everything is Ok.

If Luigi joined the IDF and massacred 50,000 Palestinian children, John Fetterman would clap and cheer. If he defrauded cancer patients en masse, maybe Biden would pardon him. Could go on and on and on

Politicians have always been bought and sold in this country, but it feels extra wild for an entire party to openly be like “we are subservient to the richest man on earth” when class tensions are higher than they’ve been in decades and inequality is at record levels.

There it is. Pay the Trump Tithe and you get to avoid the tariff but that doesn't mean you cant increase prices along with everyone else who isn't able to pay the tithe, so you also get to increase profit by raising cost on all competitors Here's the oligarchy the American people voted for at work

Some folks are pretty good seeing things coming.

When I had a violent stalker who would graphically describe how he would have me gang raped, puncture my organs and and break all my bones, I was told the police "couldn't do anything". Consider this a reminder that they absolutely ✨can✨ do something. They just don't care about YOU.
