He/Him, Host/Producer for the podcast Black Sheep And Bad Apples. Totally normal guy.
Feels like the newest WMDs are ideological weapons.

Most people: "Slavery was bad and we're still feeling it's ramifications today."

White Supremacists: "See?! Look at all this anti-hhhhhwhite racism."

The U.S. in 2010's: "Hahaha, it'll be just like the ROARING 20's, hahaha."

The U.S. in the 2020's: "Oh, fffffffffuuuuuuuck. The 20's suuuucked."

Honestly "Hot Hitler Anime-Girl Grok" was never on my bingo card, and I dunno if I could've even mashed those words together in a mad lib of fascism.

After listening to @reynoldsgareth.bsky.social and @dave-anthony.bsky.social talking about Jim Caviezel on The Dollop, I've come to the conclusion that Caviezel is a 9 year old and we're all pretending he isn't.

One of the most underrated inventions that have propelled human society is our capacity for storage.

In other words: pockets are underrated.

I love that Flat Earth "proof" is simply "water in glass is flat." When challenged, they bring out the big guns, "then water on ball?! Why not fly off ball?!"

Healthy masculinity is why folks like Nick Offerman and Pedro Pascal are so attractive.

What if God and the Devil are just like, cool now, and Christians are making a big whoop over nothing.

Elon's complaint about the left destroying his influence speaks to how much influence he wants.

He wants influence, and he's scared that all the damage he's doing is also damaging his influence. He wants to force people to like him and he couldn't do that by buying Twitter.

Its funny to me that people who believe Biden conspiracies find it difficult to imagine actual conspiracies about their dear leader.

My mom taught me sharing is caring and I'm pissed. I hadn't realized she was teaching me communist propaganda. 😡🤬

Now that Trump is going to try to wrest the "power of the purse" that was given to Congress by the Constitution, is considering axing some of the teen Amendments, do patriots get to claim patriotism when their boss wants to get rid of it?

Real "boss made me work unpaid OT, but pizza party!" energy.

I know it's very apparent to those of us who have critical thought, but it almost feels like the idea of Trump draining the "deep state" swamp was just lip service so he could implement his own deep state.

Remember that time a dude's healthcare got denied so he shocked the world with a "brazen" crime?

50 million people just got denied healthcare, so...

You're telling me the heir to the Swanson food company, a guy who inherited a real estate business, a white Nationalist, a lobbyist from Florida, the wife of a wrestling company owner, a hedge fund manager and a Heritage Foundation lobbyist are getting rid of the deep state?

Oookay, then. Sure.

If your ideology has a big Venn diagram overlap with school shooters, you need to critique your ideals more.

People gatekeeping masculinity and femininity are like "MEN HUNT and WOMEN NURTURE". Idk, man, seems to me like both of those things are about caring and providing for one another so we can all reap the benefits.

Real (insert gender-inity here) is about mutual aid, ya dip-asses.

I love that we kept calling Twitter by its name after it changed to X. Rather than renaming it, Elon just managed to give it a shitty nickname.
