The last God’s Not Dead movie made $1.1m at the box office, almost certainly less than it cost to make, certainly less than it cost to make and market. They’re making another one, not because people want it, but because they need you to know they hate you.

i love how by these standards of stuff-mattering, random shitposts are now just as much culture as television and all of us are basically broadcasters according to this worldview

The Will Stancil Show Could Be the Future

Loomer is particularly dangerous in a breaking news situation. Before Thanksgiving 2023 there was an explosion at the U.S.-Canada border. It turned out to be a medical incident or mechanical problem or both.
Loomer sent several unhinged tweets insisting it was terrorism. They’re still up.

The President doesn't want you standing up and speaking out against him, so he's coming after me to intimidate all of us.

wonder how, exactly, America fucked him over- did we deport somebody or did we fail to get somebody out?
CBS is reporting the suspect ID-ed as 29 year old Afghan national who entered US in 2021.
The path of likely demagoguery seems obvious from here.

The thing I will not get over is that Nuzzi's goal was making RFK Jr. the president.
Trump was a fucking unintended consequence.
There is a world where we could, with some precise statistics, figure out how much Nuzzi's article hurt Biden. We might even be able to do it with favorability ratings.

Just a reminder that in addition to Trump refusing to exercise because he thinks the body is like an alkaline battery with a lifetime store of energy so anytime you do anything you steal that energy and it cannot be recharged, he's also a germaphobe who is afraid of being poisoned.

Map of Canada’s “Defense Scheme No. 1” from the 1920s in the event of a war with the U.S.
It assumed that Canada would be unable to defend against the U.S. for long, so it involved launching a pre-emptive invasion of key U.S. cities.
