I imagine that people who reliably have their social media presence amplified by bots and algorithms engineered to their advantage don’t perceive much problem with forging signatures. It’s the paper version of the same game.

You go to Disney World and see someone dressed up as Mickey Mouse and you're like "ok, a guy in a Mickey Mouse costume." You see someone puppeteering Kermit and you're like "holy shit. It's him. It's Kermit the Frog."

A national bond that transcends race, religion, politics and class is our shared agreement that the Muppets are real. They are real people with jobs and lives. Listen to that crowd screaming. They know they're seeing a celebrity.

More Evidence Submitted to Dismiss the Charges Against Kilmar Abrego
Friday night, we learned that the DOJ lied about the door being closed to Costa Rica. Mr. Abrego's lawyers feel that's enough to immediately dismiss on vindictive and selective prosecution grounds.

Elon's "Rosebud" is posting. His deepest desire is for everyone to tell him what a hilarious and clever poster he is. The problem is that he isn't funny. And it kills him.
It explains why he bought Twitter. It's why Grok is the way it is. And it explains . . . whatever the holy hell this is.

An ICE agent was caught removing a sign marking an ICE kidnapping in DC last week! Do we think he did it out of anger, embarrassment, or most appropriately shame? If you think what you’re doing is right, why are you trying to hide the evidence? 👀

When weaponized despair is your business model, your only options are:
1. Deny incoming data.
2. Supress incoming data.
3. Repent and be made whole
Option 3 might mean losing access to your broligarch peer group.

THIS. This is women’s reality in this world. It is time right now to face it and blow this system up and burn it down. This will take all of us who aren’t actively working to keep it this way. Examine your role in allowing it to happen, then work harder to support the innovative bravery of women.
