Weihenstephaner Korbinian paired with a slice of my wife’s homemade sourdough topped with a thick slice of Gruyère and suddenly all is well with the world.

You know they are high-IQ because they use technical phrases like “standard deviation” while overestimating the cost savings they’ve supposedly delivered by three orders of magnitude.

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

“This is America and we don’t have kings” is an easy message and we should all be saying it, but it’s also easy to add on “especially not kings who hand our entire treasury over to drug addled rich Nazi fucks.”

La loi, c’est moi.

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

In America the greatest crime is being right too soon. If you’re right too soon, you are stigmatized by the press as unserious and radical, rather than wise and prescient. But elites never face a consequence for being catastrophically wrong and then, at just the right moment, changing their mind.

stop handing it to the Nazis challenge

Interesting move. But how do we know that Clement won’t just throw the game?

The confederacy is coming from inside the house.

How long before they deputize the Proud Boys?

Amazing thread on a proposal to change corporate law in Delaware, where two thirds of American companies are incorporated & under whose courts they operate, that would legalize Elon Musk & other vampiric oligarchs to steal your 401k money, removing a major roadblock to the absolute rule of the rich.

LITERALLY EVERY FBI DIRECTOR HAS BEEN A REPUBLICAN. EVERY SINGLE ONE.

WHY ARE WE NOT TALKING ABOUT SECESSION? If what you want most is to preserve the union and save what’s left of its institutions, nothing will put more immediate and dramatic pressure on Trump’s enablers than a credible threat of secession by the most populous, productive states.

gravedigger of american democracy. a more malign influence than john c calhoun.

On one very relevant measure, it is twice as dangerous to be pregnant in Texas as it was four years ago. www.propublica.org/article/texa...

Well, I'd like to see ol’ Donny Trump wriggle his way out of THIS jam! *reads asteroid news* Ah! Well. Nevertheless.

Dear Mr. Martin, I write to inform you that an unusually unimaginative scofflaw is pranking my office with a frivolous demand letter written on your letterhead, over your signature, which I can only presume is forged. See enclosed. Thought you’d want to know. Best, [signature block]

Anti-DEI centrists stop lying challenge.

Blue state secession talks —now.

At the very least keep harping on the fact that Trump fired the people who were finding fraud in his COVID programs, to the tune of $100s of Billions. And DOGE's receipts page is near-fraudulent itself.

What do you call an academic who does public relations work for fascists? A fascist.

Also reminded of Simecka's The Restoration of Order (about Czecholslovakia post-68). Threatening middle class with a loss of opportunities for their children is very effective in inducing submission and conformity. Isn't it self-indulgent to ruin your child's life for the sake of your conscience?

Thread on the “network state” ideology driving the Nerd Reich.

Careful with those block lists, folks.
