Was just listening to a 2024 ep of BtB (about Peter Thiel IIRC). Hosts joked about dick pills before going to ads, then about trying to get Hims to advertise after the break. The first ad served in the intervening break was for...Hims. A cosmic joke played on @iwriteok.bsky.social 's past self

I like doing old timey bdsm. that’s where I burn you with torches and stab you with my sharpened stones tied roughly to crooked branches

OH MY HEART...the Oberlin Luddites Reject "The Year of AI Exploration"! 💚

the government is saying “underage girls are testing positive for pregnancy at ICE detention centers” instead of saying “ICE agents are raping & impregnating underage girls.”

Some cops more than others

This came into my head and would not leave

"President controls gas prices" factoid actually just statistical error. Inflations Georg, who starts over 10,000 trade wars every day, is an outlier and should not have been counted

This is genuinely one of the best reasoned pieces of writing on US-Taiwan relations by anyone running for Congress I’ve seen in recent years. Even as someone who believes that strategic ambiguity has value in 2026. Everyone, go check out @katmabu.bsky.social!

Well this is unsettling but I don't think I can poke any holes in it

I know which of these two guys I would say is doing real art here www.artnews.com/art-news/new...

Demonstrators apparently retrieved from the cars belonging to ICE these "challenge coins" that ICE mercenaries receive when they carry out arrests. This one is decorated with a skull wearing a crown. ICE mercenaries serve king death. They are evil incarnate.

THUCYDIDES: In my book I described the Sicilian Expedition where you invade a basically random and sort of distant country to try to loot it as a cautionary tale DIPSHITS: At long last, we have done the Sicilian Expedition from the classic of military history Don't Do The Sicilian Expedition

if you are talking today about how bad maduro was and were alive, at all, during the run-up to the iraq war you are potentially the dumbest person to ever live

The funny side of this nightmare scenario is that he's dumb enough to just admit that it's all for oil

I'm glad that Congress isn't alive to see this

Wenceslas's corollary: Ye who now will airstrike the poor, shall yourselves have an uncomfortable time in the hereafter.

Merry Christmas to all

Me as a kid: Ha ha Bob and Larry Me now: Wait, was "The Yodeling Veterinarian of the Alps" taking a swing at anti-vaxxers?

Please I'm begging

An omen, an omen, send for the javamancer at once

Why isn't noon at 1:00. Shouldn't the 12th hour of the morning be in the morning

Yeah bro you gotta read this book, it's called uhhhh, The Protocols of the Elder Queers of something or other

The Liberal Project spans centuries and is larger than any one country! The fight for individual liberties and true social virtue is not lost we have to reclaim our Truth!!!!

Incredible image. Also incredible that the vast majority of white Christians in this country align with the men in camo.

THE HYPOCRISY IS THE POINT!!

It keeps happening 😅

Witnesses Assumed Charlie Kirk Shooter Was Just Ordinary Gunman On School Campus

This sort of ties into another idea I’ve been kicking around, that if I was an actual theorist I’d take a shot at writing up coherently: we have freedom of the id, when we need freedom of the superego. We live in the tyranny of revealed preferences, totally disregarding expressed ones as legitimate.

Bowser: "I think I speak for all Americans -- we don't believe it's legal to use the American military against American citizens on American soil."

🧵🧵🧵 In this thread, I lay out more than a dozen facts about Trump and his child-molester friends Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. I challenge you to read the whole thread and then decide what the odds are that Trump did not abuse girls or tolerate his pals Epstein and Maxwell doing so.

RIP to a true legend

After 130 years, Cambridge #scholars have decoded a Chaucerian mystery – the frequently referenced Song of Wade was not a monster-filled epic but a chivalric romance. Drs James Wade and @sebfalk.com from‬ @girtoncollege.bsky.social reveal all: www.cam.ac.uk/stories/song... #Latin #English

Yeah the video is cool and all, but anyone who was on the Internet in the aughts knows that it should really have a horrible jump scare 25 seconds in

The things I do for love

Is this a recognized phenomenon...?

Freddie Mercury as an 1820s bargeman be like "Flat-bottomed boats, you make the rockin' world go round"

The bare minimum for the 2028 candidate: - Pack the Court - bring back J6 and docs cases (they were dismissed without prejudice!) - Bribe takers and bribe makers jailed - DHS abolished This is the Wide Awakes minimum. You can quibble about timing and sequencing, but these have to happen.

1977: why would the bartender in star wars even care if some robots with artificial intelligence came into his bar 2025: ohhh ok

Now more than ever.

Happy independence day to everyone who didn't just kick a bunch of people off Medicaid to fund the secret police

As the poem goes, First they came for the democratic socialists And I went on NewsMax to say, "Mr. Hitler may not be right about everything, but..."

Spending thirty befuddled seconds parsing this as "school policies of Chicago" instead of "policies of the Chicago School"

Gen Z/Alpha: the 2000s were cool we should bring some of that back Millennials: ok, let us tell you about some of our fav- Z/Alpha: *blasting creed and trying on low waisted jncos* Millennials: no wait The Govt: oh hell yeah! *frantically starts fabricating evidence of WMDs in the Middle East*

You do really have to love a good apolitical crank. So many weirdos have been subsumed into the QAnon-ish sphere these days that pure kookery is a breath of fresh air.
