Threw on the new Criterion of NIGHTMARE ALLEY 2021 and forgot that the reappearance of Richard Jenkins and Mary Steenburgen makes this the Catalina Wine Mixer of Guillermo Del Toro's oeuvre.

Wow — Harvard Crimson student newspaper busts Hegseth for having written a long policy brief touting diversity before he joined Trump’s war on DEI.

With receipts. Bravo, Crimson.

As a reminder, when Jack Posobiec was in the US Navy, they assessed his full capabilities and concluded that he was best suited to collecting samples for urinalysis

Incredible.

Jack Posobiec references the earliest version of antifa -- the anti-fascists in the Weimar Republic who were opposed to the Nazi Party -- as the bad guys.

Has a single “journalist” in mainstream media asked Trump, Mike Johnson or John Thune why they haven’t used their Senate majority to override the 60 vote threshold and reopen the government?

Am I reading this right? Did Trump say he took freedom of speech away?

Kyle Griffin @kylegriffin1.bsky.social · 12h

Flagging Trump this afternoon:

"We took the freedom of speech away. Because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech — but what has happened is, when they burn a flag it, agitates and irritates crowds."

"There should be concerns about how the new company, whose investors appear to be handpicked by President Trump, will handle user data, maintain consumer privacy, protect free speech, and place limits on government surveillance of social media activities," Nicol Turner Lee writes about TikTok.

TikTok may not be Chinese-owned anymore, but there still is a privacy problem | Brookings

Nicol Turner Lee discusses how President Trump's deal to keep TikTok functional in the U.S. doesn't assuage all privacy concerns.

Not to contradict, but this was clearly done on purpose. As silly as the roundtable sounded, and how stupid these sycophants are, creating the narrative that antifa=murderers or terrorists is exactly the point. Makes it easier to ignore court rulings, control media messaging, etc.

Does anyone believe this? Even in what Fox chooses to show, even their misleading 2020 footage, the buildings are standing, the lights are on, there's no rubble etc. is he confusing Gaza or Kiev footage?

Posobiec isn't a nazi in some generic rhetorical sense of having fascistic impulses or simply being far-right. He is a full-blown Hitler-loving Jew-hating mask-off literal capital-N Nazi, with a longstanding public record to match.

"Antifa has been around in various iterations for almost 100 years in some instances, going back to the Weimar Republic in Germany."

For no reason, just remembered this explicitly antifascist version of Chicken Little that Disney made in 1943. It's about the danger of following leaders who tell big lies. youtu.be/p_GaYdae4j0?...
