How many of the DOGE kids have probably already been turned by foreign intelligence services, at this point? They have no oversight, wide access, limited experience, dubious ethics, might be cash-strapped, could be blackmailed, hauling their laptops from agency to agency like a malware patient zero

IF TRANS ISSUES ARE SO INCONSEQUENTIAL DOES SOMEONE ON THE NYT MASTHEAD WANT TO EXPLAIN WHY THEY SPENT THREE YEARS RUNNING A1 “INVESTIGATIONS” INTO SAFE AND EFFECTIVE MEDICAL CARE AND THE LANGUAGE CHOICES OF NON-PROFITS AND HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS????

Again, Jews were less than 1% of the German population in 1933.

Anyway while everyone is looking lemme say go watch S1 of The Terror it explains the current moment entirely

This is, I think, the core of the emotional experience of the current moment. Watching people we knew to be kind, loving, & thoughtful slowly shift & then full-tilt drop into hateful, petty, backwards evil. People I thought were giants turned out to be gullible, small, & sad. Nearly demoralizing.

Zoinks people are reading my posts oh no

This speaks to how your average trump voter isn't a guy in a Skynard tank top working on his engine in the front yard of his trailer, it's a guy who owns all the truck dealerships and semi refuel stations in the tri-county area who lives in a gated community but thinks he's a Yellowstone-type

I don't know how to explain to people that resistance is not comfortable or safe. The point of protesting is putting yourself on the line. You're gonna die of something anyway.

There should be serious discussions across Europe about having the levers to pull in place to ban payments to ransomware groups. Very soon. In case they are required. Russian ransomware groups do not attack countries which align with the Russian government. Since there’s a global realignment […]

Trump will sell out Taiwan next. You watch.

You might be cool... but you'll never be "harmonica bandolier" cool. bluesrockreview.com/2025/02/will...

Everyone else should do this

It's absolutely insane that Elon Musk and his wrecking crew are saying they're firing entire swaths of our government infrastructure and the press are just like "oh that's sad but what are you gonna do, guess they're fired." It is batshit crazypants, and it's being covered like normal policy choices

I was privileged to know Gene Hackman because he played tennis with another Gene—Gene Wilder. And that Gene told him about a little role called The Blind Hermit in our movie YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN…

"We are not sick. We do not need curing. What we need is recognition, support, and a society that doesn’t try to erase us." This is powerful and needs to be shared widely.

MAGA got so mad that white people had to share some power with non-whites and is straight up nuking the US's international status.

Cyberpunk got so much right. But one thing it got wrong was "in the future, corporations are the muscular power that shapes reality, and states are nearly irrelevant." On the contrary, tech corporations prove incredibly ductile — falling over themselves with eagerness to propitiate state power.

*pops head in* this is actually entirely compatible with the Cyberpunk 2020 sourcebook which has autocratic imperialist rule right up till the World Market Crash (but yes, the powers of multinationals has been overstated)

pondsmith’s cyberpunk with a touch of ghost in the shell and psycho pass wouldn’t be the worst dystopia @machete.gay @intelwire.bsky.social get this

It's part of a cultural issue: everyone suspects everyone else is cheating and getting rich on the sly, & resents em for it. I found out recently my dad thought I was making wild money off the music writing... which is a voluntary gig to get free show tix. He was convinced I was making 6 figures.

This tracks. Pig butchers using Starlink tracks so hard.

The most significant victory for the Confederacy since Chancellorsville

She was astounding in the musical episode. Terrible news.

Just saw a horror writer I really love post asking for emergency donations and just... ugh. Writing for magazines used to be a reliable gig. Stephen King had a trailer and kids on freelance magazine gigs in the 60s and now it's $10 per feature. You can wrote for 3 magazines and it's a hobby.

HIRED THUGS This Shocking Moment at a GOP Town Hall in Idaho Is a Foreboding Sign Private, unidentified security personnel dragged a woman out of the event. It raises questions not just about tolerance for dissent but about who gets deputized to do what. newrepublic.com/article/1919...

When I was 30 I had a 17 year old ask me if I needed an escort out of the pit at a Pennywise show
