Geoffrey Ingersoll, the author of that piece, served in the Marines. This is from his bio at the Young America's Foundation:

"After his honorable discharge in 2009, Geoffrey enrolled in NYU’s graduate journalism program, discovering, in the process, that Greenwich Village is scarier than Baghdad."

The Right has spent years fantasizing about civil war because they simply want to kill liberals and leftists.

They hate democracy because they recognize that their ideas simply aren’t popular.

it's tough to tell from the photo, especially with the water droplets and lack of reference for scale, but I bet someone with a sharp eye could ID the clip based on the dimples that appear on either side of the middle cartridge

not enough taper at the shoulder to be 7.62x54R and the clip is too short to be a Mosin, looks more like 8x57 or another .30-06

Played Criterion roulette last night, ended up finally watching "The Devils" (1971) -- I'd enjoyed Ken Russell's work before but holy hell I was really not familiar with his game. And Oliver Reed! God damn, what an incredible film.

New argument against AI regulation just dropped. Checkmate, atheists.
www.wsj.com/tech/peter-t...

For about a year now, Thiel has been publicly laying out his understanding of biblical prophecies and the potential for the rapid advance of technology to bring about an apocalyptic future.

In a lecture Monday, he encouraged an audience to continue working toward scientific progress, whether in AI or other forms of technology. Fearing or regulating it, or opposing technological progress, would hasten the coming of the Antichrist, Thiel said, according to people who attended.

I'll avoid further explanation because it would spoil the fun, and I could use another viewing myself with the benefit of knowing now how it ends, but its examination of fascist politics and the manic-depressive work of journalism under dictatorship uncannily captures the dark energy of our times.

"Historia de lo Oculto" is equally stylized in a different way, using the starkness of black & white (and occasional splashes of psychedelic color) to heighten the tensions between a team of TV news journos racing against the clock to expose a police state headed by actual warlocks before midnight.

Michael Eberhart @meberhart.bsky.social · Sep 18

The surreal, nightmarish black & white images are far more effective at conveying low-budget terror than the genre's typical faux camcorder footage. But we get a hard look at real monsters in the official investigation for a scapegoat and the overwhelming racism from their surviving white neighbors.

Savageland instead examines the horror at the core of the supposed "border crisis" through the literal lens of an undocumented amateur photographer who is arrested after his small Arizona town, populated almost entirely by fellow Mexican migrants, is inexplicably and gruesomely massacred overnight.

I saw "Savageland" right after Barry Levinson's "The Bay" (2012), another example of found footage horror using mock doc framing to highlight the terrible reality of contemporary issues without flinching -- in that case, depredation of our oceans and predictable failures of U.S. public health system

Michael Eberhart @meberhart.bsky.social · Sep 18

Thinking about this prompt again today and two recent watches come immediately to mind: 2015's "Savageland," a docu-style found photo zombie movie set in an AZ border town, and 2020's "History of the Occult," depicting an '80s Argentine news broadcast under the shadow of Luciferian authoritarianism.

With Fox and other conservative outlets all of the sudden VERY interested in the Hortman assassination, a good reminder that not only is Vance Boelter an evangelical anti-abortion zealot with a hit list that included PP, he is also a Covid Vax truther, and the Blaze interviewed him for some reason.
