i do not think it is doomerism or uncalled for to recognize that this is the kind of event that is traditionally a prelude to escalating violent response from an already frothing fascist right wing and to tell people to take steps to prepare themselves for that

Tariffs, great strong tariffs, we love tariffs don’t we folks? You gotta have tariffs to protect. To protect the strong American workers from communist China sending us these junky dishwashers that don’t even use water. You turn on the dishwasher you get like two drops, and your wife says “darling I

American Nazis love to talk about history except for the extremely detailed and voluminous documentation the German Nazis made about their atrocities.

And you know generals they come up to me, famous ones, big big tough guys, tough as hell these guys. They come to me, tears in their eyes, they say Mr. President you gotta do something about Katie Tightpussy, Krooked Katie, because it’s horrible what she’s doing to this country.

NYT Editor: OpenAI, I need a headline that is simultaneously corporatist, pandering to the sensibilities of the journalist class, and unconvincingly pretending to objectivity by credulously repeating the propaganda of the worst people in America. OpenAI: [becomes Skynet, starts nuclear war]

The New York Times has taken a hard line against OpenAI in the courtroom. So why was it experimenting with it in the newsroom?

Ken Klippenstein is streaming with George Galloway. The Young Turks are hosting RFK Jr. One ex bernie spokesperson is streaming with candace owens and another is defending Nick Fuentes. Brianna Wu is hanging with lauren southern. Maybe now is the time to re-evaluate how the left chooses celebrities.

Now the sexes were three, and such as I have described them; because Emrakul, Ulamog, and Kozilek are three; and the man was originally the child of Ulamog, the woman of Emrakul, and the androgyne of Kozilek, and they

Let me be clear. In my opinion, John Roberts has joined Roger Taney (Dred Scott - slavery) as a Chief Justice who will be remembered as an evil man. Not just wrong, but worthy of eternal condemnation for trying to destroy the Republic.

But now Chief Justice Roberts has (to his everlasting shame) enabled fascism by taking away the prospect for criminal prosecution. I hope Roberts receives total consciousness on his deathbed and goes to his grave knowing that his entire legacy will be as a minion of evil.

History will recall that the New York Times, that bastion of "the liberal media," on July 4, 2024 chose to give prime space on their op-ed page to a theocratic absolutist who argued that people shouldn't vote, even though he himself has voted in the last 2 elections (but nowhere is that mentioned).

When I first saw this I thought "no, that can't possibly be true." But alas, the Times did indeed choose today of all days to publish a right winger's recycled piece about how they don't vote, failing to mention that the author basically thinks absolutist theocracies are cool.

Utterly repulsive.
