A detail that has really stuck with me about Tony Judt‘s ‘Postwar’ was the section about how hundreds of thousands of ex-Nazis went on to become East German communist apparatchiks Flunkies like Flanagan remind me of these characters—not truly attached to an ideology so much as place in the in-group

No no we are Am-ish yes we are slightly Am - it's like how George Santos was jew-ish

I mean they do the hell outta this thing here so that's for sure

Once they get into Texas and get some drank in them - they'll be the chopped and screwed worms.

The problem is it doesn't work. Fascism feeds on conspiracy. Conspiratorial thinking is a mental disorder which profoundly disrupts almost all aspects of believers lives.

Ever think about how pretty much every govt official still operates an account on a website run by the world's richest Nazi and contains csam? Not good

Minnesotans demand real life baddie -Peggy Flanagan not AI generated slop!

Amazing map - no notes

I actually am already mad about this. DEMOCRATS! RUN ON NOT BEING A NANNY STATE! The whole rationale is surveillance tech in cars - JUST BAN THAT except we won't be we love that for our law enforcement

One of my friends who works in tech was telling me how he thinks he has a hostile workplace but then all the stuff he said was just like "they want us to work faster and get projects done faster than they probably can be" which.... lol

WOW -- Rep. Madeleine Dean just during the Blanche hearing that Trump "has lied about being on Epstein's plane, and the unredacted files prove that"

Perry Johnson is just TEMU Trump - look at this guy

After reaching her first Grand Slam semifinal at the French Open today, Marta Kostyuk argued that Russian tennis players who don't openly denounce the invasion of Ukraine are complicit. She'll next face Mirra Andreeva (a Russian player who doesn't comment on the war). www.reuters.com/sports/tenni...

I'm sorry you have to do what? Check your tenants for citizenship?! Yeah that's absolutely bonkers

Connections whips! They made several series of it as well.

One thing about real human bear conflict is that it can often be almost entirely prevented if communities make use of Bear Dogs. I also happen to be lucky enough to know and love this breed personally. One of the few breeds that can survive in the wild, incredibly emotionally intelligent,

My friend's phone was stolen at a 2007 Obama rally and when she reported it to the cops, the cops spent the whole time pontificating on "Obama attracting criminals because he's weak on crime" Cops just lie about stuff

Please enjoy how much of an absolute pants pissing baby Lovecraft was - this is from his poem Providence in 2000 AD. The white on white racism here is just a treat that we don't see too much anymore. Lovecraft was seen as a racist weirdo EVEN IN HIS TIME

Ana Kasparian tells Candace Owens that she had a spiritual awakening that helped her recognize "the existence of evil" and "humanity." She says she doesn't talk about it because people dunked on Tucker Carlson when he said he was attacked by demons. She's "embarrassed" she made fun of Tucker.

So about every 40 hours on average in the US a structure will have a natural gas related explosion. Fires are way more common but like 300 some explosions a year - some of them intentional

AIPAC saying that its critics are discredited by receiving funding from George Soros is, unfortunately, the logical endpoint to the current discourse of "antisemitism and anti-Zionism are synonymous" espoused by the American right.

I'm basically in agreement here but because my brain is a little fucked I will add one important distinction. I have had multiple relatives kidnapped - like by unknown straight out of a nightmare assailants. One of them even was on the TV show "I Survived" We need a term differentiating

One of the reasons oil prices didn't spike to $200 is because temporary supply buffers played a big role in plugging the shortfall in the global oil market. Those supply buffers are depleting fast. @econharris.bsky.social and I lay out a timeline in this blog post: www.brookings.edu/articles/the...

Very tempted to start leveraging my appearance to yell normal healthy shit at young men. "No matter what you look like, there is someone who will be into that, how you treat people is the most important thing in life, women are humans just like you that have full inner lives and experiences."

Here is the thing - lots of conservatives think the opposite of a Man is a Woman. The opposite of either man or woman is in fact - A CHILD This explains why pedocon theory is a law and their conception of masculinity is that of a cruel 12 year old without any friends.

For me it's a losing proposition to even dignify the question in this context "how many genders are there?" - basically the single dumbest question. Who cares? How many gods are there? How many angels could fit on the head of a pin?

Mr. Rogers said look for the helpers -and out of a needlessly unpleasant exchange - buddy here came in with some useful info. Turns out there is a whole documentary and lots of interesting stuff about this mine and it's negative effects. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_H...

Make Washington DC a Malaria infested swamp again

It's because if you were to avoid eating animal products it's because you care about something other than yourself - which is the lamest worst thing in the entire world for a certain segment of humanity. It's why they have to re-make their prophets to remove any love or compassion.

this is what Twitter is for now, this is what you legitimize by posting there

a clear window that says "you GOTTA see this shit" with big arrows pointing at the objects within

Yeah I knew we were cooked to some degree when I went to the doctor and the nurses asked me "do you do shots?" When she wanted to know if I use vaccines? WTH, Yes. It's all around bad news bears, I would very much like to see studies on work place safety specifically. In the trades I see so much

Uh at one point I had 2 phones and it made people extremely suspicious. You trying explaining to a date why you have two phones and they are gonna think you are up to some shit.

And as we all know - however your brain is, is how it should be, uh because of God or something

"one of Trump's enemies"

I gotta pitch my take here which is that in order to become the type of person who does bad stuff they already are living in a type of hell

So I see this a lot in the trades. Ultimately if you are in an area that's big enough, your reputation doesn't really matter, you can be straight up scamming like 15 percent of clients and still have a successful business. You have to go in from the jump committed to something other than money.

a lot falls into place when you recognize that dogmatic Zionists are the same type of guy as Serbian nationalists who angrily deny that the Srebrenica massacre happened and they had it coming anyway www.liberalcurrents.com/israel-is-a-...

Ah man now the crowd is chanting "God's got nuts! God's got nuts!"

bsky.app/profile/cent... Again this clip was known probably first by leftists who took issue with it but go off

Again there is a leftist brainworms thing where if someone likes Donald Trump you can tell them to "go back where they came from"

The thing is it's a video of the stream of piker doing the thing they are claiming. Yeah no shit rnc oppo research accounts are blasting it - it doesn't make the content false. Don't believe your own eyes but leftistly

The thing about politics is it provides a venue for people to be publicly angry. Some people are angry about all the injustice and some people are just angry.

Uhhh yeah, both sides in the Cold war identified homosexuality as quintessentially of the enemy. Putin is explicitly making the case that equality is a Western scam to destroy the traditional family etc etc etc

What happens to people that use the TLC tugger to tug and grow their foreskin back again?

Hey, I contributed to this! (Alongside my great R&I team^^) If you're interested in how the European border regime works, you should check it out (at least the summary!)

youtu.be/VOUY40UtE6g?... @chrisdeleon.bsky.social - wawww so many pinball? Games

When I was a kid you played some little brick fucker named Pepper Roni delivering pizza all around some weird little island - what the hell lego.
