Finally watched the new Superman movie and I feel like I have been gaslit, like Tom Sawyer tricked me into painting his fence.

Escalators are Antifa now.

Saw a poll recently showing Donald Trump’s lowest approval rating ever. JD Vance polled significantly better, largely because a lot of respondents said they didn’t know enough about him. Don’t let people forget Vance and is just as shitty.

I hear that three or more people in a room watching Jimmy Kimmel now counts as an antifa meeting. They will never catch us!

I know antifa isn't a real organization because I don't get 40 texts a week from them asking for donations.

Border Czar Tom Homan was caught by the FBI accepting bribes - on camera - to deliver government contracts in exchange for $50,000 in cash.

Pam Bondi knew.

Kash Patel knew.

Emil Bove knew.

And they made the investigation go away.

A corrupt attempt to conceal brazen graft.

coates is genuinely a generational writer

What are we to make of a man who called for the execution of the American president, and then was executed himself? What are we to make of an NFL that, on one hand, encourages us to "End Racism," and, on the other, urges us to commemorate an unreconstructed white supremacist? And what of the writers, the thinkers, and the pundits who cannot separate the great crime of Kirk's death from the malignancy of his public life? Can they truly be so ignorant to the words of a man they have so rushed to memorialize? I don't know. But the most
telling detail in Klein's column was that, for all his praise, there was not a single word in the piece from Kirk himself.

Every few months Dark Owl Publishing does something bad and every few months I come here and remind people that shitty indie presses run by racists always do bad things.

let me throw some fuel on the fire that is the discourse about boys getting laid!!! current-day manopshere content is not good at getting boys laid and that's an effect of the incentives at play. you cannot build an audience of resentful little virgins if you succeed at helping them to have sex

Ours is indeed and age of extremity. We live under continual threat of two equally fearful destinies: unremitting banality and inconceivable terror.

I am having a hard time reconciling "Charlie Kirk was a fierce advocate of open dialogue and free expression" with "we must identify and persecute everyone who is insufficiently mournful"

After Charlie Kirk's death, teachers and professors nationwide fired or disciplined over social media posts

At least a dozen faculty and staff have faced fallout over insensitive comments online.

This man will not be fired for calling for the murder of American citizens, yet multiple journalists/reporters/teachers lost their job for accurately reporting things Charlie Kirk actually said and stood for.

But it’s the “violent left” that’s the problem

There has been a rush among centrists like Gavin Newsom and Ezra Klein to brush over the hateful life of Charlie Kirk and valorize the man.

Let me be clear, killing Charlie Kirk was wrong and abhorrent.

We must condemn murder without sanitizing a man who built his empire on hate.

My latest piece.

We Must Not Posthumously Sanitize Charlie Kirk's Hateful Life

Influential anti-LGBTQ+ activist Charlie Kirk was assassinated on Wednesday. While condemning violence is something most can get behind, sanitization of his hate has gone too far.

Analog media for the win! Touching paper is almost as good as touching grass (touch cellulose, motherfuckers!) interpret symbols on flattened wood pulp! Seriously though, there is a very good fiction, essays, and poems in here!
