Pisses me off that we’re stardust with the gift of conscious existence and having to spend our time on all this bullshit.

Online right-wing rhetoric began shifting last night from saying the left-wing must be destroyed because someone on the left supposedly killed Charlie Kirk to saying the left-wing must be destroyed because there were people on the left who celebrated his death. In case anyone was wondering.

It’s important to understand the extent of the digital bloodlust on X. They’re scraping data from social media sites—including Bsky—to create a searchable database targeting people for perceived thoughtcrimes related to CK. It has 40k names so far, and they’re sharing it with the federal government.

Nope, and it should be remembered that the Heritage Foundation recommended in Project 2025 that the Trump administration indicate a willingness to resume nuclear weapons testing.

Niche ask: Is anyone who follows me familiar with those back braces that look like corsets? (They’re popular with some autistic people and those who have EDS or back issues.) If so, any recommendations? Asking for my autistic EDS daughter who has a job requiring her to stand for long periods.

Yeah, they are.

Machado isn’t a defender of democracy as much as someone who postures about democracy to further the efforts of capital interests to access and exploit Venezuela’s natural resources, especially its oil reserves. She is aligned with Trump and a stalking horse for regime change intervention by the US.

As I said in the immediate aftermath of watching the Tucker Carlson interview with Nick Fuentes, the right-wing is now actively mainstreaming Fuentes (and the Christian nationalism he espouses).

St. Elizabeth parish was the epicenter of Hurricane Melissa in Jamaica:

The Elon Musk effect:

“Base living—in the unofficial Trump Green Zone—has also become something of a double-edged status symbol among Trump officials. No one wants to deal with threats…But the secure housing does confer upon the recipient a certain sheen of importance that sets them apart from all of the other officials”

NYC, please give Cuomo no mercy and Mamdani all the mandate. Run this race full speed through the ribbon.

Trump has been obsessed with nuclear weapons for decades. As Tom says, none of what Trump claims below is accurate. No nation except North Korea has tested nuclear weapons since the 1990s (the last US test was 1992). Russia and China will likely see renewed US nuclear weapons testing as escalatory.
