Oh good, brain damage - that’s the last thing these anti-vax morons need. They’re not exactly playing with a full deck to begin with.

Watching the GOP turn around and say the police are all disingenuous and dishonest is… weird. Cause like, usually? Yeah, fuck the police. Except in this specific case the police are like “nah things are fine, you’re crazy” and the GOP is screeching lies.

“I … met with the governor, met with the mayor, met with the chief of police, and the superintendent of the highway patrol. They’re all lying, and disingenuous, and dishonest people,” Noem said, because they wouldn’t back up her baseless claims that the streets were overrun with terrorists.

Do you think back in the day Thiel and Vance sat around watching One Piece while plotting the fascist takeover of America? Because that’s the kind of incredibly stupid detail that this era of history deserves.

It’s so nice to see, and it does give me hope… we just need Dems to please get the message and not nominate someone who feel the need to defend ICE because Obama and Biden both did fucktons of deportations. Please Dems, please don’t fuck this up.

It’s disturbing that seemingly every billionaire led institution has decided to triple down on anti-vax, transphobia and shooting disinfo. Like it genuinely feels like the billionaires just want as many people as possible to die.

Appointed by Meta as an adviser on AI bias, anti-DEI campaigner Robby Buck has spent the weeks since his appointment spreading disinformation about shootings, trans people, vaccines, crime & protests

If there are actually people who think that Greta is somehow a traitor to environmentalism for opposing an active and ongoing genocide; then you need to just log off and stop being an advocate because you’re so fucking stupid I don’t believe you will do anything but hurt your cause.

Megan E. Human (free Link) @zombiscribe.bsky.social · 11h

"Greta totally betrayed her commitment to the environment"

A) it's not actually a bad thing to be an activist and see something like GENOCIDE happening and having your priorities change a bit

B) Y'all think war and genocide and colonization and all of that aren't* related to the f-ing environment?

I’m so proud of my fellow leftists for pushing back against hatred and violence with disruptive protesting like this. This is how we do it.

It makes the news and people say

The Portland protest frog didn’t let a stream of chemical spray aimed directly at his costume’s air vent stop him.

A TikTok video of the onslaught by a federal agent is now up to at least 1.4 million likes.

It happened last week – at 10:57 p.m. on Oct. 2 – as people were peacefully protesting on the sidewalk in front of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement field office, said the man in the frog suit, Seth Todd, 24, of Portland.

Peter Thiel is deeply mentally ill, has a creepy obsession with the antichrist… and is JD Vance’s friend and mentor. This man has enormous influence over the current administration and he is suffering from some serious psychosis.

In other words; we’re all gonna die because crazy has money.

Sharon @sharonk.bsky.social · 23h

thiel, man, what the fuck are you talking about

He describes the plot of Watchmen, a 1986 graphic novel involving superheroes grappling with moral questions about humanity against the backdrop of impending nuclear war:

The antihero Ozymandias, the antichrist-type figure, is sort of an early-modern person. He believes this will be a timeless and eternal solution – eternal world peace. Moore is sort of a late-modern. In early modernity, you have ideal solutions, ‘perfect’ solutions to calculus. In late modernity, things are sort of probabilistic. And at some point, he asks Dr Manhattan whether the world government is going to last. And he says that ‘nothing lasts forever.’ So you embrace the antichrist and it still doesn’t work.

Thiel later finds biblical meaning in the manga One Piece, discussing how he believes it represents a future where an antichrist-like one-world government has repressed science. He believes that the hero, Monkey D Luffy, represents a Christlike figure.

In One Piece, you are set in a fantasy world, again sort of an alternate earth, but it’s 800 years into the reign of this one-world state. Which, as the story unfolds, gradually gets darker and darker. You sort of realize, in my interpretation, who runs the world and it’s something like the antichrist. There’s Luffy, a pirate who wears a red straw hat, sort of like Christ’s crown of thorns. And then towards the end of the story, transforms into a figure who resembles Christ in Revelation.

Thiel, along with a researcher and writer at Thiel Capital, explored these ideas at greater length in an essay for the religious journal First Things earlier this month.

Hey Jeffries, considering the “other aisle” are nazis who are flagrantly violating the law and constitution on a daily basis; maybe stop being friends with them?

Just saying if one of my friends came out as a nazi and started hogtying naked children I’d punch them in the mouth and then cut ties.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

ICE is a terrorist organization. It must be shuddered and every single member of ICE must be prosecuted under RICO for their crimes. Throw every last one of them in prison forever.

The far-right mouthpiece who told young men to clean up their place while in front of his very clearly messy home, now has contracted an illness from all the mold in his home.

If you wrote such a fascist character in a story it would be deemed a silly caricature.
