Well the baseball game is over but the night is young for the 38 year olds of Bluesky, and that means it’s time to take a low dose aspirin and read about Bigfoot on your iPad for 20 minutes before falling asleep

Connecting SignalGate to Project2025: “They're doing official communications on Signal to avoid those communications being retained. There are Project 2025 training videos that specifically recommended this type of thing as a way to avoid subpoenas… There will be no evidence…”

Connecting SignalGate to Project 2025: Key under-discussed point about
why Hegseth Gabbard Rubio etc were on Signal:

“The part that people are missing is that they're doing official communications on Signal to avoid those communications being retained. There are Project 2025 training videos that specifically recommended this type of thing as a way to avoid subpoenas. Our government is using 3rd party software to discuss OPSEC, NOFORN, and Top Secret levels of communication in avenues that do not retain data. They can stage a total takeover of the US and there will be no evidence through any official channels.” jeanie.online

tizzyent: “This! This is the part that should have every news organization and every politician who actually wants to put country over Trump shouting from the rooftops.”

“When you start firing the military’s top lawyers, that means you are getting ready to order the military to do unlawful things. Trump replaces those JAGs with men who will justify any future unlawful and unethical actions that he wants the military to do.”

@votevets.org:

VoteVets Project 2025 military plan meme pic to help with understanding Trump’s Project2025 plan for the united states military:

Fire generals loyal to the Constitution and the rule of law, ensuring that the military becomes loyal to Trump alone.

Instead of replacing flag officers, reduce their numbers and leave only loyalists at the top.

Bolster use of the Insurrection Act to deploy the U.S. military within the U.S. for “enforcement” purposes.

Dismantle military diversity programs, rolling back policies that make our Armed Forces cohesive and strong.

Inject the ranks with radicalized troops loyal to the MAGA agenda.

After these swift actions, the military will be purged of non-loyalists and staffed with individuals loyal to Trump, with less resistance or pushback when Trump gives unlawful orders to use lethal force against protesters and/or round up migrants.

Thank you VoteVets for making this graphic to help us understand Trump’s Project 2025 plan from Heritage Foundation.

“Best regards”

A letter from STANLEY KUBRICK
August 27, 1970
James T. Aubrey, Jr.
Metro Goldwyn Mayer
245N Beverly Drive
Beverly Hills, CA 90210
Dear James,
It has come to my attention that you and your
studio are considering producing a sequel to "2001:
A Space Odyssey" over my objections. My attorney informs me that you hold the option and, legally. there is little I can do to stop you.
However, I'd like you to know that I own the tapir bone prop from 2001 - the one "Moonwatcher" throws into the sky. If you attempt to make a sequel, I will cram that temur up your ass so far, it will take an as yet undiscovered alien super-intelligence to figure out how to dislodge it. Seriously, don't fuck with me.
Best regards,
Stanley Kubrick

Everyone, I’m just <sniffs> I’m just so proud of us all.

We finally did it.

LibsOfTikTok finally targeted me.

<single tear rolls down cheek>

I’ve been waiting for this moment for so long <unfolds acceptance speech> and first I want to thank everyone who made it possible: Harambe, Kony2012, my fa

A post from failed real estate agent and local ghoul Chaya Raichik aka LibsOfTikTok targeting me. Text of the post reads:

“Leftist CA State Assembly candidate Chris Kluwe, who promotes the harassment of ICE online, was ARRESTED at a Huntington Beach City Council meeting earlier this year.

Chris was protesting a proposed library plaque that featured a phrase similar to ‘Make America Great Again’

Chris called MAGA a ‘Nazi movement’ before leaving the podium and approaching the council member, where he was grabbed by police and carried out.

This unhinged lunatic wants to be an elected official…”

Thanks for the free advertising, Chaya!

Thinking about that time the My Little Pony comics, of all things, absolutely bodied Scott Adams.

Close up of Pinkie Pie looking at a newspaper comic saying “Hmpf. I thought these were supposed to be funny?”

The comic is called Ponybert by Trot Adams. It opens with a building and we see a word balloon that says “Well?” The second panel is of Ponybert, the Dilbert stand-in saying “No one is smart but me.”

Trauma doesn’t just stay in your mind, it sits in your body for so long that if left unhealed, can impact your cells and change your DNA. When we say that wounds are inherited, we literally mean it. So learn to breathe, rest, and let go of what doesn’t deserve your attention before it consumes you.
