In March of 1945, the US Army issued this "fact sheet" to guide conversations with soldiers on the topic of fascism, paying particular attention to the ongoing threat that domestic fascist movements posed to the US. Their analysis of what a homegrown US fascism would look like is interesting.

The random price increases will continue until morale improves

The govt cries poor, but the amount of money NZ could make from legal weed to put into public infrastructure is obscene. There is no downside.

I mean yeah, sure, everything on the sign is spelled correctly 🤷‍♂️

RAPTCHA

I have always wanted to write a short piece on the most excellent Sir Christopher Lee - so here it is. 😀 steady.page/en/thetolkie...

If only he could pronounce acetaminophen then he could have avoided a massive lawsuit

No particular reason

Never in the field of billionaire tax avoidance was so much money owed by so few to so many

Nailed it.

The only problem with these short Star Wars films is I keep getting sucked in cos they're so great... leaving me really disappointed when they end! Someone should give these guys lots of money so they can make more.

<sigh>

"Shame on those in government who forget this founding truth" Nobody in government has forgotten anything, they just don't give a shit because they're a bunch a fascist nazis creating an authoritarian state. Call it what it is.

Did a thing to help support myself... I’ve opened a storefront (link in bio), starting with Off to Find Faërie: Faërie has been a source of beauty, peril, strength & consolation long before Tolkien. Tees, totes, mugs & more now available if it speaks to you too? #Tolkien #LOTR #Luinellë

man the mental health difference between online and offline is pretty big in normal times but it an absolute chasm right now being super aware of what’s happening is important but my god it is a drain

Nice work 👍

I'm curious as to whether Nazi Germany was quite as offensively stupid as Nazi America is?

Can't help but wonder if he was selected in advance...

Delighted to belatedly discover that Mr Bilston is on Bluesky. "Give way to the right", beautifully done!

Mr Frodo, noooo!

Here are all of the Epstein Files that have either been leaked or released. joshwho.net/.../gov.usco.... (verified court documents) joshwho.net/EpsteinList/... (verified pre-Bondi) Trump is on page 85, or pdf pg. 80

I don't believe he was speaking of the present confusion of the first and second amendments and the rise of violence, but Kosh said it best "The avalanche has already started, it is too late for the pebbles to vote."

What a surprise. Nobody could have predicted this.

I feel incredibly unlucky in that I dated a Smiths-obsessed girl for 2.5 years when I was about 20, then met and married a Morrissey-obsessed woman for 27 years and counting, and now my eldest has listened to quite literally no other music than Morrissey/Smiths for the entirety of this year so far.

From “One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This” by Omar El Akkad.

Turns out that one can both abhor political violence and also be pretty pleased that a cunt is dead. Human brains, eh?

The way Irish street signs work is that the first Stop sign is to be read light-heartedly as "Stop" and the second one means "Ok lads, settle down, you've had your little joke, now c'mon, all joking aside, yiz need to Stop."

Having your eyelid torn by a cat is incredibly inconvenient, and very painful. 0/10, would not recommend.

That is so cute

I'm worth about eleventy billion dollars less than all these guys and I've never sucked ass like all of them just did. Absolute jokes, losers for life.

Squires moving into music & film? Brilliant 😀

Doc I trust more than RFK Jr

Epstein victims' lawyer: While we have seen the documents, you haven't. When you see the documents, you're going to be appalled. The American people deserve to see everything. Evil flourishes in the darkness. RELEASE ALL THE EPSTEIN FILES!

Morrissey, the living embodiement of Poor Me Syndrome. Waah waah waah 🙄 www.theguardian.com/music/2025/s...

I have been very busy making music and the first single from the album I'm working on will be out next month :)

And here come all the “AI artists” or, more accurately, “typers.”

AI’s primary function is to vacuum wealth up from below and move it to the top.

Here is my main opinion on AI, in every capacity: What is the point of technology? Is it to make our lives better and easier, or is it to make a very small percentage of people richer? The latter is what AI is doing. The people actually doing the coding are making themselves redundant.

I played with these guys for a year or so recently and they've just released our sacrilegious cover of The Moody Blues Nights in White Satin, with yours truly on vocals, so here ya go: youtu.be/BnCfwlrHSXE?...

On 27th August 2015, The Shepherd's Crown, the last book Sir Terry Pratchett completed before he died, was published. To mark the ten year anniversary, we have a message from Rob Wilkins:
