"like myself" really gives away the game here lmao
Believe it or not, there are cis men, like myself, who aren't using these politics to secretly harm people. I know it's rare, but we do exist. If this was in regards to any author of smut that was being talked about like this, I would still be here trying to see some nuance.

I honestly do think he’s preoccupied with this remodeling shit because the people who are actually exerting presidential power just want to give him something to do.
sure, you might not be able to eat or go to the doctor, but check out how nice Trump's new marble shitter is

Most analysts seem to think a full scale resumption of war between Lebanon and Israel is likely to happen soon (Israel has been bombing Lebanon unilaterally for well over a year now)

Really enjoying the knee jerk reaction to a guy talking about being attracted to a teenager when he was a teenager. I understand he's a cis man, but that doesn't mean he's out to get you or whatever. Everyone here is taking him in the worst faith possible.

The president is spending quite a bit of time on renovations to public property he personally uses while millions are about to lose food assistance and the government is shut down.

Since Ellis ordered Border Patrol and other federal immigration agents in Chicagoland to wear IDs, the most compliance I've personally seen is agents handwriting an alphanumeric sequence - sometimes almost illegibly - on a piece of yellow tape attached to their gear.
I do not see identification of this federal agent in a "conspicuous" place on his uniform, as ordered Tuesday by U.S. District Cout Judge Sara Ellis, in this photo of him making physical contact with Ald. Rossana Rodriguez Sanchez
At least 2 people — both citizens — were detained by immigration agents in Albany Park Friday. blockclubchi.co/4hDz8Cu

It's not that Schumer is going to decide the race on his own, but it's clear that any anti-ethnostate Dems can't count on establishment support when it does matter.

Deplatforming Nick Fuentes was what kept him from being mainstreamed, it worked. Elon's replatforming of all of these people and allowing actual Nazis around is why the US government is now publishing white supremacist propaganda regularly.

This is not a new debate. Deplatforming works.
Mind-blowing stuff from Robby Soave.

"Podcasters should not avoid Fuentes." Of course they should. Deplatforming Nazis is good. Not amplifying them is not censorship.

Also laughable to claim Fuentes has been deplatformed. His growing reach is directly tied to MAGA destigmatizing naked racism.

This three-hops theory is especially insane. Even if you assume each person is connected to only 100 other people, there are 1m people within three hops of every suspected drug trafficker—and remember that even *known* drug traffickers aren’t legitimate targets. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/30/u...

An entire segment of the population is being repeatedly told that ’illegal immigration‘ - which is in fact barely 5% of immigration - is the dominant problem in this country. This is a media-driven phenomenon.
A case study in far right propaganda success. Tory governments run down public services over decades & then the the populist right breeds in ruined communities by scapegoating Black & brown immigrants.

The Overton Window has swung so hard to the right that now the biggest legacy institution of the conservative movement substantively defends a straightforward neo-Nazi.

Extra ironic a loud anti-Semite like Fuentes is now a key part of rhe right as they accuse any critic of Israel of anti-Semitism.
Two years ago, Nick Fuentes was so toxic that, after I reported on a secret meet he had with a top Texas GOP donor, the party was engulfed in scandal and voted to explicitly ban Holocaust deniers/Neo Nazis.

Today, Heritage Foundation effectively said that "no enemies to our right" includes Fuentes.

What gets me about the AI thing is that if you say anything against it people always jump to "new technology always has its detractors" and completely ignore you going "I have seen the material outputs of this technology and it mostly seems to be pollution and suicides"

Awwww hell yeah they're subjecting Gen Z to the ritual of the Avocado Toast!!
“At the same time, more than half of Gen Z members say they are struggling to make ends meet, yet a majority buy themselves a small treat, such as a pastry, coffee, or sweet, at least once a week. That can lead to overspending…”

Brian Gitt, head of biz development at Oklo, has been one of the worst climate deniers / anti-renewable voices for years.

It is remarkable how long Oklo got away with pretending to be on 'the right side', even now that they don't have to pretend anymore
