Apropos of nothing I am wondering if anyone else has had a slow, gong-like realization about how many people in positions of tremendous power are absolutely out of their minds on drugs.
And then there’s the story about Alex Karp’s not-at-all-weird interview (for lack of a better word) with Oswald Mosley’s grandson for a senior position at Palantir.

"During that time in El Salvador, Abrego Garcia was TORTURED."
For weeks, Trump officials have refused to send him to Costa Rica even though he said he'd accept that. The ruling savagely details extensive misconduct here.
We all know what happened: Trump/Miller decided sending him there wouldn't be sufficiently dehumanizing. 3/

Yes she's just outsourcing a desire for vengeance, but it occurs to me: believing God handles justice and therefore you don't have to worry about justice yourself is a convenient thing to believe when you're involved in a political movement that deliberately promotes, creates, and spreads injustice

Just paid a bill for covid vaccination. A bill, for a routine vaccination, in 2025. The AB govt is charging $100/dose, which in a province where over 50% of families are a $200 emergergency away from insolvency is basically a ban. What the cinnamon toast fuck.
