I said Noam Chomsky was always an overrated, irredeemable piece of shit
What’s the funniest reason someone got mad at you on Bluesky this year?

My loathing for Merrick Garland and the Democratic Establishment's timidity, fecklessness, and cowardice increases by the day.
The desire for restoration instead of transformation; the desire for civility over justice.
So many years wasted when there could have been bold accountability...

So much talk the last few years about Epstein blackmailing these rich dudes when really they're all begging to fuck kids in plain English over Gmail.

What I’m seeing here is that Epstein is a nexus point for the “intellectual” cabal that shores up the race science justifying our current immigration and anti-DEI policies (Huberman), as well the tone policing moderates (Brooks) that hamstrings oppositions. Oh and their billionaire benefactors.

We need to talk about something serious.
So years ago, my parents home was threatened by a major California fire. My Dad would tell the story about how they finally had to evacuate.
And he found my mother upstairs in the kitchen, making tea. He screamed at her 'WE HAVE TO FUCKING GO NOW'

I still have my talking Ed Grimley, but the pull string timer is fucked up; it sounds like a high pitched screech, and if you guide it slowly, it sounds like a demon. "Oh, now that's a pain that's gonna linger" INDEED, I must say.

When I was a latchkey kid, waiting for my parents to come home, SANFORD AND SON reruns were a magic half hour, where I KNEW I was safe and I was gonna laugh out loud. From the opening notes of the theme song, I was *set* for a block of time.

Anybody who ever read MANUFACTURING CONSENT and didn't realize this is Chomsky's MO toward *any horrible thing* was a chump. I read it in college, thinking it was gonna be revealed wisdom, but was hate-reading by the 40th page. He's always been the fucking worst.

Push through your fear and they don't control you any more! And many people are in places where they can't push their fear - they're old, frail, have children, have people depending on them. So those of use who have to less to be fearful of should push even harder to stand in front of them.

People keep saying "Getting arrested is bad, actually" and while I'd certainly prefer not to be, the administration's entire strategy is built around the idea that I will live in fear of it, and shape my behavior to avoid it, and cry in shame if I am. That is how THEY CONTROL YOU.

Let me reiterate: THEY DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH GUYS TO PERSECUTE LARGE NUMBERS OF DISSENTERS. What they are doing, instead, is using fear and paranoia as a force multiplier: they don’t have to persecute us if we keep ourselves home because someone told us we can’t walk in public without being terrified.

When I was a kid,4th-5th grade, not everybody in town had access to cable TV. We did, as the cable company was close. I used to go to school & just **explain** stuff from SCTV to my friends at lunch & we'd all laugh, from my 2nd hand account.

we are in desperately dangerous times. Watch the footage of Navalny being taken off the streets in Russia and know where that ended up to see where we are going.

I am finding WONDER MAN insufferable. SO so so so sick of Hollywood sucking its own dick in stories about itself and "satirical send ups" that are still just self-aggrandizing. And Ben Kingsley doing a cartoony Ringo is hammy & unfun.
