lol this is the most ominous letter I've ever seen in my life.

Tonight insomnia taught me that in 1959 Umberto Eco wrote a parody of Nabokov ‘s “Lolita” called “Granita,” where the dastardly deviant Umberto Umberto is consumed with lust for an elderly woman. Every time Eco Baader-Meinhofs into my periphery I like the man a little more.

Ed Martin was demoted from hatchet man to waterboy, presumably because even the Trump admin has grown tired of him insisting people call him”Eagle Ed.” Incidentally, in prison, the only dudes who made up their own prison nickname (Stephen -> “Spider”; Derek -> “Diesel” or “D-Wrex”) were pedophiles.

Shout out to @shewassuchagoodhorse.com based devs for responding immediately and taking action to help make #IntotheUnwell #Steam #Proton / @codeweavers.com #Crossover compatible! Most studios and all AAAs would say “kick rocks, nerd”. Good karma and good fortune guys, can’t wait for Early Access!

After five months of soul-crushing AI-powered “virtual interviews”, hundreds of applications, and being invariably thwarted by the barely lawful, demonic institution that is #HireRight, ya boy is, formally employed. I’m a waiter, so I’ll still offer paralegal aid, marketing, & writing services FYI.

Ay yo…

I’ve never been so gleeful to share a #NYT gift article. The #opinion in this case just happens to be written by one of my favorite federal #judges as far as style is concerned since Learned Hand, and boy howdy does he deliver.

This is what a police state looks like. Papers please, de facto state control of social media, and prison for all unsanctioned journalism. Please remain calm.

“Violence! Violence!”

This guy vibe coded a #Reddit exclusively for #AI bot accounts, which is a waste of time because Reddit is already exclusively AI bot accounts. #moltbook

Goons.

Part three of “How to Disappear Completely” is live. It’s shorter than the first two if #longreads aren’t your thing. First two are linked up top. #shortstory #fiction

The man literally shit himself in the middle of a press conference how are we not having this national conversation?

A tariff is a tax on goods. A weak dollar is a weak #economy. Median individual income: $42.149 Median individual cost of living: $61,334. Our #nationaldebt is on track to hit $50T by the 2030, w/ global discharge of U.S. debt driving borrowing costs sky high; $3T/yr in interest alone by 2030

@shewassuchagoodhorse.com Hey guys, I'm getting "install Visual C++ redist" error with all latest redists installed. Clean installs don't fix. This is Win10 via Crossover, which I realize is a small market segment, but it might do it in Proton. Maybe change the fail to an included installer or (1/2)

Legit the best political ad I've ever seen. No notes. I'm just quoting to say I'm in before a PAC-funded candidate appropriates the concept and spends $100M on ad buys to try and "hello fellow kids" their base ahead of the #midterm.

#TikTok is dead so we post our #cats on #Bluesky now.

Corporate America made over $22 billion from contracts with ICE and CBP last year. The list of companies profiting from Trump's aggressive deportation regime includes Palantir, Deloitte, GEO Group, and many more. www.ft.com/content/c741...

There's entirely too much new evidence in the hidden portion of the last few datasets, so I've made a reddit megathread in case anyone wants to peruse and contribute. #Epstein #Trump #SteveBannon #DJT #JEE #bestfriendsforever

Datasets 9-12 .zip files have been removed. Public is unable to browse 90% of each archive, but as of right now the files are still searchable and viewable by typing in the filename manually. Any other administration would be impeached by sundown. #DOJ #Trump #Epstein #bestfriendsforever

#Musk: "What day/night would be the wildest party on your island?" #Epstein #Trump #ElonMusk #bestfriendsforever

Another tip hidden in set 10. You can't browse for it - they appear to be attempting to obscure most of this data. Which begs the question—why? DIVS and Sentinel queries for [REDACTED] home address located [REDACTED] produced three results for Experian phone data. Meaning there's a credible link.

Why did the DOJ remove this file and re-add it once it became public knowledge they had done so? I would have wrote all of these off as incredible, unsubstantiated accusations...right up until they took it down. #Epstein #Trump #bestfriendsforever

Release. The. Files. #epstein

Scratch that, they paid Trump $40M for the rights. They spent another $35M on advertising, plus however much it cost to shoot and edit the film, plus however much they paid Brett Ratner to crawl out of his rope dungeon. So at least $80M for a film that MIGHT gross $5M, incl. tickets they bought.

#Melania cost Amazon 2.7 times what they spent on their last 5 prestige documentaries. Ballroom not included. For comparison, #RBG cost $4M, including promo & a successful awards campaign, 1/10 of Melania’s net budget, and netted $10m. Melania reportedly opened @ $1m, will gross $5m, net -$35M.

We have a #pedophile problem in this country. #releasethefiles #Epstein

I’m all out of gift articles for y’all, but while I don’t always vibe with #NYT opinion pieces, this conversation is I think #requiredreading because it offers an existentially important perspective cleanse. Even folks on the left are normalizing current events to some degree. This is not normal.

One Battle After Another (2025)

Never forget that 8 years ago Donald #Trump summoned his entire staff into the Oval Office . . . To watch the music video for #GunsNRoses’ “November Rain” on YouTube. When the (extraordinarily long) video was over, he asked an aide how to rewind a YouTube. Then he made them watch it again.

The core argument in this brief is so badly wrong that it's hard to come up with words to explain how wrong it is. Basically, Epstein's jumping off point is the well-settled rule that differences in language in a statute (or, in this case, amendment) imply differences of meaning. Therefore...

There were a few hours there last night when it felt like the administration was in damage control & they were signaling "It was never meant to go this far." Then you can really hear the moment Stephen Miller's coffin creaked open and he came out screaming "DOUBLE DOWN" before drinking a child dry.

Reading about #NSPD-51, the Main Core, Disposition Matrix, mosaic theory, etc. really reminds me just how fucking dangerous it is to elect and appoint bad actors to positions of executive power. Just saying.

If you had any doubt that #ICE isn’t an immigration enforcement agency, here’s your sign. #giftarticle #Olympics

“Do you like elevator boots?” “I love ‘em. I LOVE EM!”

BREAKING: Greg Bovino has reportedly been removed as Border Patrol "commander at large." This is another clear signal that the Trump administration is feeling our pressure to stop federal agents' cruelty. We're not letting up until ICE and CBP stop terrorizing our families and our communities.

What the actual fuck is wrong with people. Is this really the narrative they’re going with over in the far-right? “Uh, yeah #ICE murdered #AlexPretti but Grok said he wore a dress once so I’m okay with it.” Something about this makes me absolutely, nauseatingly furious.

Umberto Eco remains undefeated: "Thus at the root of the Ur-Fascist psychology there is the obsession with a plot, possibly an international one. The followers must feel besieged. The easiest way to solve the plot is the appeal to xenophobia. But the plot must also come from the inside[.]"

#GVerse Chicago turnout this morning was INSANE. Thousands hit the streets demanding justice for Alex Pretti and calling out the federal crackdown that killed him. This isn’t “local unrest” anymore. It’s national. #LetsFuckinGo #TogetherWeRise #BlueToTheCore

If passed, this would make Kavanaugh stops look like Terry pats. It would be the death knell of free society as we know it. It would render any device incapable of location spoofing inherently insecure.

#generalstrike means no unnecessary economic activity. You’re enriching them without spending a dime. Delete Twitter. Delete Facebook. Use DDG not Google. Cancel Prime, boycott Amazon Boycott Paypal, delete Honey, Rakuten, &c. Install uBlock Origin/Lite, opt out everywhere. Stop using AI.

yeah I gotta say, no one would be more surprised than me, but this is an uncharacteristically robust reply

“Instead of [checking for a pulse and administering CPR], the ICE agents appeared to be counting bullet wounds…I asked if the man had a pulse; they said they didn’t know.”

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

Beyond helping establish DHS itself in 2003, Mr. Mitnick was a senate-confirmed Trump choice for General Counsel for DHS in his first term. I've talked with him a few times, and he's not a man for hyperbole. So bear that in mind when you see him calling out DHS's "lawlessness, fascism, and cruelty."

Dissent is terrorism. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Respect for the rule of law is criminality. Evidence is conspiracy. Jesus is an anti-Christian extremist. Remain calm. Remain calm. Crises precipitate change.
