Right wing politics, ladies and gentlemen: asset-stripping the wealth of nations for decades, hoarding it in offshore bank accounts, then telling you that the poorest people in the country are to blame for the stripped out infrastructure and the key to national success is described in Mein Kampf.

Presumably this is the same people who threatened The Stand comedy club with legal action for the same reason, and I note the fun irony that they are constantly trying to force themselves into places where they are not wanted, against the will of the people there.
Well, would you want bigots pushing a hard right billionaire funded patriarchal agenda in your boozer?

As Hannah Arendt put it: "The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists." Undermining that distinction will be a lasting legacy of generative AI.

Sir Terry Pratchett is best understood as one of the most interesting, deeply ethical practical (I would say Pragmatist but I cede to actual experts) philosophers of the late 20th Century who just happened to work in deconstructed fantasy literature as his medium.

another favorite insult during the Prenda Saga. Prenda’s lawyer was arguing - technically - to the 9th Circuit about sanctions against them and one of the judges (Pregerson?) does this:
Pregerson: You’re a good attorney
Lawyer: thank you your honor
Pregerson: it says so right on your web site
Pregerson: You’re a good attorney
Lawyer: thank you your honor
Pregerson: it says so right on your web site
Most understated, proportional, & well-earned take down: A man & a woman lawyer were on the same side in the Ohio Supreme Court. When the Chief Justice called the woman to the podium, the man stood up & said that they’d divide time but she’d go first. The Chief deadpanned, “That’s why I called her.”
What's an insult you'll never forget?

I don't deny that dogs can sometimes be quite lovely but what I will say is I don't trust their opinions. If a cat recommended me an album it had bought, I'd totally check it out. If a dog did the same, I'd promise to listen to the album, out of politeness, with no intention of actually doing so

DOJ briefly uploaded this letter from Jeff Epstein to serial child molester Larry Nassar:
"Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch,' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system."

The entire american "free speech" panic was about elites being criticized, which is why anyone who ever took it seriously should be ignored forever
Freedom of speech, in the liberal ideal, was about limiting the power of the elites.
Now, in this twisted form, it is about forcing us to listen to elites and silencing the masses.

Total gaslighting. Anti-trans activist; chooses to speak in person, provoking students who want to protect trans rights; they exercise their freedom of speech to tell her she isn't wanted; she gets to speak anyway; the BBC dutifully platforms her again; and now she threatens to sue everyone.

The running theme between the Epstein story, banning trans healthcare for minors, religious homeschooling and the complaints about adult children estranging themselves is a fundamental American belief that children are property with no rights of their own
America is a culture of child abuse. Ask any survivor - we find one another, we form networks and communities.
The true scale of it would stagger and sicken you, and so it is buried, it is swept under the rug, it is denied and the survivors are silenced by whatever means are necessary.
