(📢) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: The Daily Beast publishes a sourced allegation that Trump has been a Russian spy since 1987 and then—possibly under some form of threat—deletes it. But in an act of unusual heroism, it left it up long enough for Wayback Machine to capture it text. Here it is (please share):

Speedrunning to the Night of the Long Knives like he has a cheat code

It's weird how everyone in the world knows a Nazi salute when we see it, with the notable exception of journalists and their editors.

Bullshit euphemisms. "questionable salute" "controversial salute" "provocative gesture" Say it. These are Nazi salutes. Why did Bannon seig heil? Because he's a Nazi and because the press let Musk get away with the same thing by not calling it what it is. www.thedailybeast.com/bannon-does-...

Felt compelled to buy more than just another Reuben at the Ukrainian deli today.

With every passing day of 2025, and each headline, I need more and more for @greatdismal.bsky.social to explain how some folks survived the Jackpot and stayed off the Klept’s radar.

As someone who has been in tech for a quarter of a century, I can corroborate this.

"Now, information about nearly every dollar the government spends will be publicly available to every American citizen, as it has been for decades."

On Friday night, HHS ordered CDC to take down all flu vaccine campaign materials from its website. Materials are starting to come down. For example, a campaign explaining that flu shot can reduce flu severity from "wild to mild" is now offline. Left image is from Friday, right is now Meanwhile...

Call me hopelessly naive, but I just thought with all those hours spent playing Wolfenstein 3D, guys of my generation were pretty much aligned on our stance towards Nazis.

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”

Jack White’s Rockin’ in the Free World was fantastic, but following it up with Icky Thump instead of Seven Nation Army would have been perfection.

DOGE proposes a few modest updates

Is literally anyone on the Democratic side up to this challenge other than @aoc.bsky.social ? Our country is collapsing around us and they’re acting like it’s business as usual.

lmao I swear to fuck I’m too stubborn to die bc a dead worm in a nepo baby’s brain wants to outlaw my antidepressants

RFK, Jr. is not a "vaccine sceptic." He is a vaccine denier. He is anti-vaccine. Do not capitulate to their newspeak.

"It’s disgusting and, frankly, counterproductive to point out that I voted for this. To imply that I had personal free will and agency when I walked into a voting booth and picked Mayor Bomberman is insulting."

Where did DOGE's recruits come from? Here's what we've discovered. In late 2024, a group of young software engineers fanned out across online chat groups and Discord servers. At least three were associated with Palantir or its cofounder—and Musk ally—Peter Thiel.

The password is... ethnic cleansing

In this town it was tradition: usurp Congress, force thousands of federal workers to quit, and let 21-year-old incels put the U.S. dollar on the blockchain. Now the woke mob wants to take all that away.

It's Axl Rose's birthday today, so we are compelled to share this absolute banger by John Moe from our archives...

Man in the High Castle, but just more gradual

I notice Trump isn’t suggesting relocating Gazans to the West Bank. Yet new housing keeps getting built there. I wonder what the difference is?

The only caveat to this generous buyout offer is that it’s paid in Rubles.

Good morning! What hot fresh hell awaits us today? Has Musk stolen all our dogs overnight? Does your toothbrush now have AI in it, and is suddenly racist? Has Trump thrown Santa Claus in an El Salvadoran prison? Why is everything sticky?? Tune in to the SERIES FINALE OF AMERICA to find out!

A fake government agency named after a meme is doing a coup and everyone is just shrugging.

Guest Opinion | USAID must be dismantled unless the agency will apologize for the disgraceful role it played in ending South African apartheid. by Elon Musk

Tech and media companies performatively excising DEI programs are making a real short-sighted mistake. While it may play well in the current political climate, it's going to wreck recruiting and retention. Capable knowledge workers don't want an employer that's servile to bigotry.

The White House has suddenly removed this page. whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/...

The way he says “blacks” and “whites” screams out “I believe that America has two races, which have scientifically verifiable sharp boundaries”. When he says “whites” it’s like he’s struggling to keep the word “aryans” silent.

A government full of scientifically illiterate fuckwits spouting sciencey sounding falsehoods to reinforce hate

"The goal of our academy is to forge great leaders, not to create activist, political progressives who tear down the Jedi Order from within."
