Libertarianism WIN! This country decided to run on libertarian principles and almost immediately needed a bailout from another government

I feel like infinite celestial money can't be good for managing inflation

Yeah I'm not even sure the armor was ever really intended to be anything more than cosmetic.

If everyone in your base lives in an individual epistemic silo and ten percent of them share some like this so even your hardcore allies are like "...what?" then I'm not sure it works as well.

What's supposed to happen is that you're supposed to filter out talking points to the propaganda organs and then they're supposed to hammer those points in exactly the same way over and over again.

I think this does sort of highlight a weakness of the AI propaganda future we're all going to have to fight, which is that propaganda is supposed to all be the same.

"None — repeat none — of America’s fentanyl has been found to originate from Venezuela. Yet Trump and Pete Hegseth, his compulsively strutting “secretary of war”, insist that the country is fuelling America’s opioid epidemic." Me on Trump's wag the dog script. www.ft.com/content/5b3e...
Venezuela is Trump’s useful enemy
Despite the president’s claims, the South American country is nowhere close to being the US’s biggest drug supplier

Have a piece today in TEEN VOGUE from my new book POLICE AGAINST THE MOVEMENT detailing how the NYPD, LAPD, cops in Chicago and Memphis surveilled the civil rights movement—and then destroyed millions of surveillance files in the ‘70s, including ones that may have shed like on MLK’s assassination.

I think this was always true, that's why they got the shit kicked out of them by Ewoks.

it’s awesome that Netflix’s new tv show about Ed Gein where he’s depicted as a psychotic maniac dancing around in a 50s housewife outfit and wig while wearing the face of one of his murder victims has been #1 on the platform for the last week. this is awesome for my rights specifically

I’m not kidding when I say these weird ass costumes and antics are actually an extremely effective tactic from a media standpoint bc when enough people do them, the media can’t fully scrub them out

i feel like everything bari weiss does is treated like she's a network exec in 1973 when she's really just a LARPer at the helm of a particularly irrelevant brand while TV news is dying.

New: Bari Weiss booked Hillary Clinton, Mike Pompeo, and Antony Blinken for a roundtable on Gaza, her first major move at CBS.

Notably on a CBS call today in which the panel was floated, one producer also repeatedly emphasized the need to hear from Palestinians in Gaza (Weiss did not respond).

was this a Mark Millar joint? This feels like Mark Millar to me

You'd really think guys with name like "Faiola" and "Pitrelli" would know that this stuff has been standard Catholic teaching for like a thousand years.
braak.bsky.social
Yes BUT it does mean we get the "Halfcock-Pusser feud" which I think at least has some merit for being very funny

I've been wondering why Dominion Voting Systems suddenly reached settlements with Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, and One America News.

Turns out, it's been purchased by a Republican-owned election tech firm that insisted on it, per Axios.

(I mean, the person on TikTok that these dimwits saw is making a joke)

The thing is that no one is actually doing this, they are making a joke. Tylenol is poisonous if you take too much of it, and you know who knows that better than anyone? *Pregnant women, who aren't allowed to take anything else*

"Somebody showed me a TikTok video of a pregnant woman eight months pregnant—she is an associate professor at the Columbia Medical School—and she is saying 'eff Trump' and gobbling Tylenol with her baby in her placenta."

Imagine the first day of lawsuit, suing someone over a song, and the judge is listening to it for the first time and just snapping his fingers and bopping along with it, you know you're not gonna make it.

Why on earth the Dems don't automatically refer to him as Donald Trump, the most corrupt president in American history, is a mystery to me
