Tonight we’re watching one of the greatest sci fi movies ever made: Dark City, a brilliant film that had the unfortunate luck to be released right in The Matrix’ shadow.

Conservative speech in America has never been under threat. Not at any time in the nation’s history.

FIRE’s whole free speech on campus focus smacks of conservative grievance.

Yes, the group has fought some high profile bad stuff. But its college free speech ranking list? A chunk of the student voices the group highlights are right-wingers complaining about their too-woke institutions.

Funding absolutely matters.

Right-wing megafunders give money to groups that fight for what they want.

It’s that simple.

This line isn’t new to me. When I published my story highlighting how Koch-connected groups were trying to ratfuck the pandemic response, right-wing COVID contrarians pretended I was engaging in some kind of conspiracy theory.

I will drop this.

But before I do, I have to note that it is excruciatingly clear that Ken is really mad that my reporting highlighted FIRE’s ties to big right-wing money.

He’s comparing the revelations of publicly available tax filings as something akin to a “Pharma-Rothschild conspiracy.”

Maybe that’s not what happened? But as it stands, it looks like that is exactly what happened.

I mean, it does seem a bit like Trump fucked a child who freaked out, and then Epstein had her killed - shot in the head. It looks a lot like that is what happened.
They’re calling it the least suspicious Trump post of all time

This is well worth watching for the stunning cognitive dissonance. Imagine voting, very specifically, for the most horrible things, and then feigning surprise when every single one of those things come true on a predictable schedule.

No one did more to make the Epstein Files a hot topic more than Trump and the MAGA base.

But now it’s a “Democrat inspired Hoax”

Warning: very disturbing read. It’s a story told by a woman who Trump allegedly raped when she was 13. 13!!

It’s not new. She first came forward in 2016 when he began running for president. It was mostly ignored. But it seems increasingly plausible now! katemanne.substack.com/p/the-actual...

It’s great that 60 Minutes correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi is coming right out swinging. Not having a second of this bullshit!

I think coddled hacks like Bari Weiss have no idea what to do with righteous fury like this except, if anything, somehow play victim. Let’s see!
Again, from Michael Grynbaum, here is Sharyn Alfonsi's full email.

It must be read:

i don’t think everyone needs to like every film but the way people refuse to even take the avatar series seriously in any capacity feels so performative in a way no other series has ever been treated, very odd to me

i'm watching that CBS interview with Erika Kirk (rather, i'm watching someone react to it) and... i swear this woman is "thoughts and prayers" personified.

she talks like a gas station sympathy card and turns on the crocodile tears at every opportunity.

her "mourning" feels so false.

From this point on, I'm forced to assume that every elected politician who does not immediately call for Trump's impeachment is in the Epstein files. Sorry. Just cutting the Gordian knot here, as one does during societal collapse.

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

But JD Vance said immigrants are buying up all the houses and taking them away from innocent Americans. Sounds like people coming to the US set up their housing pretty well!
Homelessness increased primarily because of immigration (lots of people came to the US without setting up housing).

I agree with Tim Kaine (in the membrane): it’s very premature to consider impeachment for the twice-impeached fascist and his lawless minions, let’s hold off, cool down, and maybe we can revisit this towards the end of Trump’s third term. We don’t wanna rush into things!!
WELKER: Massie and Khanna say they are looking at options including impeachment and contempt for DOJ officials. Would you support those steps?

KAINE: I think that's premature
