It's not really Antifa unless it has its roots in the Außerparlamentarische Opposition of the 1960s and early 1970s; otherwise, it's just common decency.

Great that Tron is trending. Forty years ago I was the only person who liked it. Then Al Gore jumped onboard. And now everyone!

It's deplorable that we all fall for such utter bullshit so easily but, on some strange level, it's also kind of sweet and hopeful that we are all still so innocent.

When Trump is dead: "Considering his recent demise, the President continues to be in the greatest health possible under the circumstances, indeed the First Coroner has declared that he has never seen a corpse like it & that, "The bone structure is magnificent, better than Obama." We rest our case."

Amazing to think that it would take *less that an hour and a half* for a Qatari F-15 fighter jet to fly from its base in Oregon to New York City. They would be better off bombing Kansas City, or Chicago, either of which would only take about 45 minutes. But Trump has his jet, so. . .

Trump keeps telling that story about how he aced the cognitive exam and doesn't have dementia. He keeps telling it every fifteen minutes. And he doesn't remember that he just told us that story. And fifteen minutes later, he tells it again. Nothing to see there, folks!

Black people have been fleeing major US cities (2021 graph from Politico). I totally did not know this.

Graham C Lester @grahamclester.bsky.social · 20h

Google says there are 386,000 black males altogether in Chicago, so that seems about right.

Graham C Lester @grahamclester.bsky.social · 20h

That is about the number of black men aged between 12 and 35 in Chicago, so he is just assuming they are all gang members.

Antifa is the MacGuffinization of homeland security.

Graham C Lester @grahamclester.bsky.social · 1d

BREAKING. . . Antifa destroyed! The vast armies of Antifa have been completely destroyed in battle through the heroism of our eternal President, General Ulysses Bonespurs Trump. Not a trace of Antifa will now be found anywhere in the USA! Total victory!

The absolute insanity of trying to *intimidate* people into giving you a *peace* prize!
