This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

I’m tired of hearing about bats. Do you want to hear a story about jumping spiders and the town that disappeared? I think I might be breaking this story – do come be the first to read it.

I understand why people are using the phrase 'Elon salute'. But that's not what it is. It is a Nazi salute, and we must always, always call it that. #NaziSalute #ElonMusk #CalvinRobinson

Good morning, this is my follow-on post, showing my “working out” for the Prospect piece.

If you have watched the video of Elon Musk doing the nazi salute (twice) and are still on social media asking other people what makes them so sure he did the nazi salute (twice) then you are most definitely part of the problem, and not the solution #elonmusk

I want to remind Londoners that our city is—and always will be—a place for everyone. We’ll continue to celebrate London as the diverse, open and welcoming city it is.

On this #MLKDay we honor the life and legacy of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Let's do our part & fight for his dream of liberty and justice for all to be fulfilled. Even when it is hard or the unpopular thing to do, we will continue to fight for our neighbors and communities!

Dealing with David Lynch leaving us, I have to reflect on the lessons he taught me. First and foremost, if I ever discover a severed ear...I'm probably just going to leave it alone. Thanks, David, for your wisdom.

Imagine your own daughter, going public, and speaking in these terms .. as a parent, would you double down on your wank attitude, Or maybe listen to your own blood who thinks your a walking venereal disease ...

This thread is fun on that Newport Bitcoin case

People who say the Nazis were left wing… (Live stand up clip)

sorry i know this is basic or whatever at this point but i don't think we should stop reminding ourselves that politics in the UK this week has been mostly about what a ketamine-addled American South African fuckhead has been tweeting at 4am and that's fucking mad? this shouldn't be happening?
