Saddam Hussein taught me—and a generation of crooks, thugs and warlords since him have reinforced the lesson—that whatever consequences may arise from doing so, eventually tyrants simply need to be killed.

No worries, I put the male symbol in my screen name because it did actually happen once by accident.

For some reason "writing one's opinion in black text on a white background, pasting it into a scene from a popular series, and passing it off as a meme" is like the crab of digital communication.

And it was just a reinvention / marginal evolution of the Don't make me tap the sign / Lisa's presentation / Jim's whiteboard / PewDiePie pointing at the TV "memes."

No, that's a dime day, a prime day is when you perform transgressions against social mores we've collectively seen fit to codify into law.

No that’s a mime day, a prime day is when you conduct monetary transactions exclusively in coins which individually represent the same value as 0.10 United States dollars

No, that's a rime day. A prime day is when you communicate entirely nonverbally by acting out your statements and experiences with imaginary objects

A very old-timey antisemitic trope, dressed up in fast fashion, a filter, and the most illiterate emoji-speak ever to exist.

Okay so now people are making "jokes" that Israelis (and Jews outside of Israel) were "promised [thing] 3,000 years ago." There's TikToks of either guys dressed up as stereotypically Jewish people, or just AI videos, in which they steal things and say "it was promised to me 3,000 years ago."

I know most of my followers are American, so I need you to understand, if you haven't been to Ireland since 2023, you *cannot* appreciate the level of thuggish anti-Israeli sentiment that's become totally normalized here. It was hard for me even to make a comment.

It's sickening.

Yeah, it's not much, but if I don't say *anything* on this occasion, then who will?

Spent a while overthinking about what to post on Instagram in memory of all those killed two years ago today, ended up keeping it simple and going with an uncaptioned photo of a candle I'd lit for them. I think everyone should get the message.

My statement on the two year anniversary of October 7, 2023.

“Two years ago today, Hamas carried out a horrific war crime, killing more than 1,100 Israelis and kidnapping 250 more. I mourn these lives and pray for the safe return of every hostage still held and for every family whose lives were torn apart by these atrocities.

In the aftermath of that day, Prime Minister Netanyahu and the Israeli government launched a genocidal war: adeath toll that now far exceeds 67,000; with the Israeli military bombing homes, hospitals, and schools into rubble. Every day in Gaza has become a place where grief itself has run out of language. I mourn these lives and pray for the families that have been shattered. Our government has been complicit through it all.

This must end. The occupation and apartheid must end. Peace must be pursued through diplomacy, not war crimes, and our government must act to end these atrocities and hold those responsible to account.

These last two years have demonstrated the very worst of humanity. We must answer it by modeling the very best: a relentless pursuit of our higher ideals and an unwavering commitment to universal human rights.”

Brb, going back in time to stop Donnie Darko, GTA: Vice City, and the movie adaptation of American Psycho from being made so Gen X and younger age cohorts have to mentally mature and learn to live in the present.

Udo Dirkstrider (autooccidentalist) @baroquespiral.bsky.social · 5d

and interestingly the pitch is made by millennials/zoomers who never experienced their childhood except through memes and aesthetics, which allows them to sell a simulacrum more "real" than the memory itself

No true bill @bill-of-lefts.bsky.social · 5d

the basic pitch of American fascism is telling Gen X that if they go along with killing all brown people, they get to be teenagers again

Broke: Putting security in the hands of voters in Wisconsin every 4 years.

Woke: Putting security in the hands of the crazed Euro rurals who periodically block the Polish-Ukrainian border, rip up roads in France, and all sorts of other depraved and idiotic hooliganism for the lulz.

Guy reading about Europeans creating a generation of Jewish refugees to the U.S. via wave after wave of extremely violent rioting as seen in, but by no means limited to, the Pale of Settlement: "clearly these folks had to be tricked by the Perfidious YanKKKee into wanting to commit genocide."

This is sarcasm, obviously, but it's ridiculous the number of Blueskyers who seriously think it.

There was no bigotry in Europe until they studied Jim Crow, I'm told.

politiBOO! @politiburb.bsky.social · 1d

"As a European I am very afraid watching what's going on in the US and hope you get your act together soon" is one of my least favorite genres of posting. This is like the *one* time in the last 100 years we've looked (operative word) worse than Europe, you don't get to play concerned onlooker!

If you really think MAGA's unconditional victory is a fait accompli, and no organized resistance movement can defeat or even slow them, feel free to get the fuck out of the way for those with a molecule of charisma and conviction and a desire to do what they can to reshape the future in their image.

I wonder if this is a part of how antisemitism is such a constantly recurring bigotry.

Jews are a tiny minority in all but one country—a rounding error in most—and yet they're pretty well-represented in high-profile lines of work?

"Surely this must be a conspiracy!"

Anyway, I don't know nearly enough about board games to say when exactly they entered their rut, but it seems clear they've been there a while now, and have yet to climb out of it.

Being an otaku didn't even come close to cutting it for them.

Before apparently completely running out of ideas in the 2010s and committing to endless live-action remakes of their back catalog, Disney was actually quite effective at protecting against artistic incest, largely by telling aspiring animators "You can't get in here just by watching all our films
