Check out this video essay by @maggiemaefish.bsky.social about true crime and police incompetence. youtu.be/shhuSXQTtX4?...

I've been saying for years - true crime shows are just chock full of cops telling on themselves! Whether they're comfortably using phrases like "a male black" in interviews, describing female victims as young as 5 or 6 as "gorgeous, beautiful" or making excuses for evidence being lost.

It was really fun to be included in this. Check it out!

NEW VIDEO!!! We take a deep dive into True Crime creators and answer the question -- Are True Crime stories about incompetent cops radicalizing normies??? www.youtube.com/watch?v=shhu...

You can't cancel the cast of Harry Potter if they've already been cancelled! *taps forehead* #film #reboot #parody

lady who works for a cadre of violent sex offenders: "we're just trying to stop the violent sex offenders!"

Weird to see how quickly the people who've been screaming "coastal elites are ruining society" for the past century turn on Midwesterners

Bari Weiss: hipster Nazi

miller has the vibe of that kid in grade school who would constantly make up rules while you were playing tag so any time he got caught he'd refused to admit he was "it"

IM THE KING OF PEACE AND IF YOU DONT AGREE ILL FUCKING BOMB YOUR COUNTRY

every time alleged members of "Tren de Aragua" are caught, the DOJ claims that they've caught "LEADERS" of the group. i've never heard of any group that has so so so many leaders.

What all this self-pitying sludge about ICE agents feeling depressed and scared is forcing into our collective forebrain is the knowledge that our culture has placed a premium not just on creating classes of men who kill and torture at will, but on forcing the rest of us to love them at gunpoint.

"getting denied entry to a strip club because i refuse to get vaccinated is a crime against humanity far worse than the secret police violently tearing parents away from their children and deporting them to a country they've never been to" is an interesting argument against "big government"

if you could harness the speed with which Republicans abandon the Second Amendment any time somebody they dont like picks up a gun, we'd already be living on Mars

the bootlicker starts licking boots, assuming the man wearing the boots will respect him. then they're surprised when the man wearing the boots kicks them as they keep licking.

Don't abolish ICE. Just rename it "Happy ICE."

Neville Chamberlain's biggest mistake in failing to confront Hitler was that he never started a radio show with Goebbels

For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention. The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.

this is the logical conclusion to a business model which views any moment you aren't staring at your TV at home as a loss. they want brain dead customers who sit on the couch and lap up slop 24/7.

every single successful general strike in US history has had union backing through the local AFL-CIO this is the first time it’s been called for since the 1940s

there's no feeling quite like learning that a data breach has compromised your personal info that could lead to life-ruining, financially devastating consequences, and then as compensation you receive a check for like $5.12

"[Steven Miller] had the dumbest opinion in a video where I've been talking about Elon Musk's thoughts. That's saying something." lol

"vote blue no matter how much i suck shit"

This dude is intense and correct

i don’t know how to make sense of the world we’re living in. i write stories about the past. this one is, in its own way, my love letter to minneapolis. we who struggle for justice have always been stronger and braver than they are. we’ve always fought back. and we will always, eventually, win.

NYT loves asking day-drinking elderly rural racists their opinion about "urban" issues those same folks would answer "yes" to "are you ok with the NYT staff being dragged into the streets and shot" weird dynamic

nazi guys cureent triumphalism basically boils down to "one of the stupidest most out of touch perverts in history is normalizing my beliefs"

saying bari weiss "faces challenges" at CBS news is a weird way to put it when her biggest challenge is that she sucks and is terrible at her job

what the f. how did he turn out to be such a fucking narc

New thing! I started a Patreon series called Off-Script - unscripted conversations with other creators about their work. First episode is up now with @maggiemaefish.bsky.social! We talked Amy's Dead-End Dreamhouse, David Lynch, sex scenes, and more. Enjoy ❤️ www.patreon.com/posts/148143...

if you ever wonder what kind of pushover loser politicians allowed the "ex" Nazis to stay in power after WWII, we are getting daily examples from these ICE-loving establishment Dems

Great piece: slate.com/news-and-pol...

CNN is so washed, they're trying to spin "these parents were concerned about keeping their kids safe from paramilitary forces" as "these parents were terrorists"

can't believe viewers didn't want to tune in to watch him gargle donald trump's entire ass

People not in Minnesota: please read this excellent summary of what life is like in Minneapolis since the murderous scum ICE swarmed here. And more are on their way. By local reporter / writer / bike dude / legend @dbrauer.net .

No amount of "JD Vance is the sensible one!" reporting could possibly make America tolerate that disgusting little worm of a man.

[Watching every institution of the American right steadily descend into fascism]: "Left? Right? What do these labels even mean nowadays"

I am accidentally researching a topic that finance bros are into and I cannot believe there is a single human alive dumb enough to listen to finance bros. Holy crap how does that industry exist scammers on scammers on dumbass scammers.

it is impossible for mayors or cops to learn positive lessons about protest response because they all have two immovable beliefs: 1. it is evil and childish to hold police officers accountable for violent acts 2. cops must be present at all times during protests

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.

you can feel the nyt ALMOST start to care about young people, before immediately going back to exclusively caring about boomers

My dude one-hands the whole shooting because he’s got his phone recording in his left hand the whole time. Never even moves to drop his phone to put a second hand on his pistol BECAUSE HE IS A CONTENT FARMER, NOT A TRAINED LEO.

if you drive a car in literally any direction, anywhere in the country, you're using your car as a deadly weapon against ICE/CBP and you deserve to be shot to death.

every US citizen is a potential terrorist. the moment an ICE/CBP/FBI bullet hits you, suddenly you become an ex post facto full-fledged terrorist and you deserved to die a horrific death.

1950-something

lord, give me the confidence of a right-wing dipshit who asks Grok to pin a violent event on left-wing extremists, then gets upset with Grok for not immediately agreeing that left-wingers are more "violent," then angrily keeps arguing with Grok to try to get Grok to agree with him to no avail
