These people really and truly are evil. If they're not, then the word has no meaning.

For some reason, the new Same Log ep, in which @exaggeratedelegy.bsky.social, @elliotchapman.bsky.social & I get back together to discuss 1967's Quatermass and the Pit, is doing unusually fast business over on YouTube. Which is nice. youtu.be/wQQQ8C85qWk?...

“‘Muslims don’t belong in American society. Pluralism is a lie,’ said Ogles, a pro-Trump congressman who introduced legislation calling for the president to be allowed to run for and serve a third term.” “Amen,” top Trump ally Laura Loomer replied to Ogles’ post:

Ben is not just a full-time eyebrow display system, he is also a genocidal racist. He is, to all intents and purposes, a nazi.

If there were justice in the hereafter, everyone who voted for Donald Trump would spend the rest of forever roasting in that school in Minab.

Please be in no doubt. Trump and his coterie are actively hoping for a retaliatory terrorist attack inside the US.

Hey Brian, show some guts and climb into an industrial waste crusher while its operating. Just do it, you cuck. Why not? Do you hate America?

Maybe true, maybe not. Makes no difference to the question of responsibility. If you abdicate decisions to an inhuman mechanism that you have no good reason to assume is reliable, you are responsible for the results. And this is one particular war crime within the context of unprovoked aggression.

There's no such thing as white people. To the extent that Tucker is referring to any real group, that group doesn't need a homeland because it already has everybody else's.

The media have a choice. They can present transphobia as respectable, at least a legitimate side in a debate, or they can admit that powerless dirty weirdo protestor nobodies are correct and the establishment is manufacturing evidence-free propaganda to justify structural bigotry and discrimination.

It's actually profoundly similar to the way that eugenicist anti vaccine organisations worked to disrupt messaging around COVID (and previously MMR)

Swedish private equity group takes 42% stake in Yorkshire Water. Thames Water, Northumbrian Water, Southern Water, South West Water and Wessex Water gutted by PE. All have criminal convictions, dump sewage in rivers, profiteer. 90% of England's water is foreign owned. Expect more looting.

Dropsite reports “Black rain” + “nuclear winter” caused by Israeli strikes on oil depots in Tehran - chemicals are producing acidic precipitation that causes skin burns + severe lung damage on contact - the rain is corrosive + could damage structures - heavy metals leaking into soil/water systems

The videos from Tehran are just hellish. This is an infernal crime by the US and Israel.

The Republican Party is the quintessential demonstration that 'politics' is downstream from capital. It started as anti-slavery bc it represented rising industrial capitalism, which required a waged working class. This achieved, it became white supremacist to keep that very w/c racially stratified.

Nothing conspiratorial happening. The current fascist US regime sees it as in its interest to pulverize Iran. That's it.

I'm sure the real story here is somehow about college students being too woke.

I hate to boast but I called Trump as a military expansionist right back at the start. Actually I love to boast.

A trove of nearly 3,200 disclosure records, which ProPublica made public this week, reveals a web of financial ties between Trump officials and the industries they help regulate.

The 17-page executive order Peter Ticktin is lobbying Trump to sign would completely upend how Americans vote and have their ballots counted in an unprecedented attempt to usurp powers that the Constitution gives to states and Congress.

For all you lovers of Kneale and BOTH versions of Quatermass & the Pit, delicious ramblings from Not the Same Log with @exaggeratedelegy.bsky.social @timescarcass.bsky.social and me. m.youtube.com/watch?v=wQQQ...

We're baaaack! Please join @timescarcass.bsky.social, @elliotchapman.bsky.social and myself as we dig deep into the occult, alien conspiracy, science fiction extravaganza that is: Quatermass and The Pit (1967). youtu.be/wQQQ8C85qWk?...

On World Book Day, you might want to consider indulging in some downright nasty, queer, metaphysical horror: www.strangeplaygrounds.com www.amazon.co.uk/stores/Georg...

Also, keep an eye out over at ExaggeratedElegy this weekend, where @timescarcass.bsky.social, @elliotchapman.bsky.social and myself will be discussing the 1967 horror, science-fiction Ur-text that is: Quatermass and The Pit. youtube.com/playlist?lis...

If these people are found to be working for a foreign power, Keir Starmer will be personally responsible. Whereas when a senior Reform colleague is jailed for ten years for taking bribes from Russia, that is nothing to do with me.

Whatever ends up happening will be a) victory, and b) the objective all along.

NEW IDSG. This is a really good one.

Ah, it's unhappened.

I've had a tiny taste of this signature Singal manoeuvre myself. I once criticised Singal on Twitter, and he tried to sicc his followers on me by quote-tweeting me and telling them - falsely - that I go around claiming to be an expert on the far-right.

Y'know how in movies set in sinister prisons or 'lunatic asylums' there's always a warder or an orderly who's a real sick, sadistic asshole? He's usually played by Clancy Brown? He tortures the inmates/patients to make himself feel macho? But he's always a cringing sycophant to the Warden/Director?

Reminded of when media outlets kept on describing his "Deus Vult" tattoo as a "Christian tattoo" or "believed to be based on historic crusader battlecry", I guess because "gamer phrase widely adopted as a meme by 4chan Nazis" sounded too pathetic even if more accurate

Paxton will be fine. He's so nakedly hateful, corrupt, and unscrupulous, the Republican base can't help adoring him.

All it takes to debunk the theory that thousands of kids were pushed into gender-affirming surgeries is to talk to literally any trans person who has tried to get gender-affirming care of ANY kind. It's extremely difficult.

Funny how people who wouldn't normally believe a word Marco Rubio said are suddenly totally willing to believe him unquestioningly when he says "Israel made us do it".

I love that YouGov is so alarmed by its own poll that it has to add a note saying, effectively, "don't take this too seriously, it's probably skewed by weird, irrelevant stuff like... um, stuff that's happening in the world and things people are starting to think."

How I arrived on Bluesky:

In the UK we now have a more-or-less open Nazi MP.

We are solidly back to the days of "WE are the civilized, makers and beneficiaries of the rules, and THEY are the uncivilized, entitled to no protections" That mindset never really went away, some of just pretended it did. No denying it anymore

I cannot fathom people who use wealth to go into politics. Give me juuuuust enough money to spend the rest of my time doing nothing but lying in bed reading books and stroking cats and you wouldn't see me for dust. (I'd probably still do IDSG.)

Same Log Returns! @elliotchapman.bsky.social rejoins @exaggeratedelegy.bsky.social & myself for the start of a new Spooktober (Sparch?) on SF/Horror movies, beginning with Hammer's 1967 adaptation of Quatermass and the Pit. My patrons get exclusive advance access. www.patreon.com/posts/same-l...

It's true. The village where I live, Trumpton (ironically enough), is ruled by a ruthless Islamic mullah sultan called 'Windy Miller' who was allowed to put windmills everywhere after converting to fundamentalist Islam. Under Sharia law he hangs us from the blades if we speak English or love Jesus.

since The Atlantic is apparently reviving the "a was a feminine gay child, but if I was a kid today they would have 'transed' me" trope, here's an essay I wrote back in 2020 explaining why this is not true & there is no evidence to support it: juliaserano.medium.com/transgender-...

I love how clearly they can see the hypocrisy and mendacity in others on their own side when they don't like the specific thing that's being said.

Trump's right. Winston Churchill didn't just support the US destabilising Iran, he actively conspired with them to plan a bloody coup against Iran's elected government, on behalf of Anglo-Persian oil who didn't like the oil fields being nationalised, installing the Shah and the SAVAK secret police.

The Same Log team is back together this evening...

NEW IDSG YouTube edition: youtu.be/eFSbgTUU8gw?...

A point made by @msentropy.bsky.social in our last episode...

I just feel so sorry for that angry, crusty, red, neck rash. It must be horrible having Donald Trump growing out of you.

Chomsky is at MIT. Like some of Epstein's key contacts re politics, crypto, etc.

I read a lot of Noam Chomsky in my 20s, and it's fair to say his work influenced my understanding of American foreign policy as much as anyone else's. It's disconcerting, to say the least, to learn he had dinner with Steve Bannon in 2019. news.azpm.org/p/azpmnews/2...
