This is the same Sally Jenkins who was on here showing her whole ass defending Charlie Kirk after his death, no? Gets thrashed on Bluesky then has Yglesias's clown ass do this do this to her in public. I would never show my face again.

The game being played is so extremely obvious but they count on how bewildering and seemingly contradictory it all is to confuse people.

Considering how much they have relied on accusing people and institutions of it, antisemitism is curiously absent from this list.

Big surprise incoming for Ben about WHERE many of those conspiracists are concentrated and empowered. All Shapiro will have to do is try to see past his blinding hatred of brown people for it to click.

How many ICE agents or National Guardsmen have died going into these Democrat-held hell zones? These places are so bad, so out of control that it must be in the hundreds by now, surely. Right?

For such a horrific urban warzone, Chicago has been very light on ICE agents encountering psychopathic gangsters engaging them in gunfights.

I want to say The Serpent & The Rainbow b/c I think it's the only Craven film that really scared me but it has been too long so probably The People Under The Stairs. If I'm being mercenary about it, then The Fireworks Woman, a porn he made in 1975. He tries to make it a real movie with real ideas.

Interesting cast that includes Christopher Lloyd and Craig Wasson, but the latter comes up short giving a really strange performance that is also marred by what looks like some bad blocking and stage direction.

Watched the sleazy Golan-Globus slasher fim SCHIZOID (1980) for the first time and for maybe the first 45 minutes or so it threatens to be interesting but it derails into hokey nonsense, especially in the third act.

Pope Leo quotes Hannah Arendt:

“The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction and the distinction between true and false no longer exist."

Racism is insidious like this. It makes weaker people who are victims of it become bigots themselves as if that might shield them.

In a huge coincidence, a Bitcoin billionaire just-so-happened to put up massive leveraged bets against Bitcoin and Ethereum right before Trump posted about new tariffs on China, prompting a market crash.

$200m in profits instantly. $200m we know about, because they likely used many accounts.

Early Bitcoin Whale Shorted $1.1B Right Before Tariffs, Now Up $27M - How Did He Know?

Satoshi-era whale shorted $1.1B in BTC and ETH 30 minutes before Trump tariffs, banking $190M-$200M as liquidations hit $19.33B.

This is the problem with AI. The idea behind this is funny, you can see what the prompts are *trying* to accomplish, but the hand holding the paint brush has no feeling behind it, no coherence; it's like verbally dictating to a blank canvas.

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

I recall hearing stories of Stones fans booing because Prince performed in women's panties. Interesting, seeing as how by then at least Mick had played around with gender and had at least one well-traveled rumor floating around.

The deportation order is based on Vedam’s conviction for murder—a crime he did not actually commit and for which he’s now been wholly exonerated. He entered the US at 9 months old and was a legal permanent resident before his conviction. We are so, so, so far from the light of justice.

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Depraved.

There is a not-insignificant number of Trump voters who voted for him just to upset people, but maybe not quite enough for this.
