Let's crash the helicopters on protestors and detainees, as well as random buildings, I say, building broad coalitions.

This is horrific, and I think shows how much it will backfire. I obviously don't know the politics of the cemetery workers, but they seem like regular guys. More and more people are seeing the violent, unthinkingly brutal face of fascism. It's not too late.

The conspiracy stuff mostly doesn't after a few seasons, but the standalone ones are often great. Some terrible episodes, but some that are still gorgeous

This obvious bullshit aside, of course the dread YOU PERSONALLY FEEL is "palable." That's defintionally true. Amazing (not really) she'd run this idiot quote.

Lmao is this supposed to be a bad thing?

A tweet from Bari Weiss that says “"It's shaken me to my core," a lieutenant said of Mamdani's unexpected victory in June. "The absolute dread I feel is palpable.
"
Today in @TheFP our @Olivia_Reingold talks to the cops who say they will walk if Zohran Mamdani is elected in November:”

Haunted Ecologies, by @coreyfarrenkopf.bsky.social, is so incredibly good so far. I try to take comfort in the supernatural but it never lets you forget the horrors that are coming. I've also been moved to tears like three times in the first five stories.

Yeah, imagine being like "if this game ends by the 17th lets go grab a beer."

The longer this game goes the more chances I have to figure out the rules of The Floor. It's been a couple years of commercials with no progress, but I think I'm getting closer tonight.

Even setting aside the circumstances -- talking about a fake "law" he made up, that completely contravenes a constitutional right, based on the story of an idiot -- the President sitting in a room with the AG and instructing them directly to start an investigation would be a generational scandal!

SORTOR: I took this flag from the man that was burning it in the street

TRUMP: Do you know who he is?

SORTOR: Oh yeah

TRUMP: So why don't you give it to Pam. Give it to the attorney general and we'll start prosecutions
