Counterpoint: I don't fucking care about their reputations.

I, a man of culture

A train conductor is hands down not doing shit about crime aside from maybe calling 911.

I find it deeply ironic that Mark Kelly is getting charged for saying the same message that the oathkeepers (pardoned for sedition after 6JAN) used to have, "remember your oath."

Rewatched this recently. Great film that uses surrealism to address something that feels relevant to the world we live in. Also, watch for the reverse 9/11 scene which is bonkers in retrospect.

whoa a dude that looks like that is a creeper no way

Reupping to remind everyone (who cites this as an example of brilliant Mossad covert ops) that this story is based on bullshit from a stolen valor dude. Zero Dark Thirty was bullshit, but Munich is made up out of whole cloth.

😂Holy shit. The Atlantic reeks of desperation here. Canadian treachery!!! I heard they got yellow cake, look out!

Inject right into my veins

yes. she investigated the case of why everyone at the new york times hated her and discovered that it was because she was too smart and too brave.

As these Epstein files get released and reported on it is hilarious watching the elite class scurry off like cockroaches when the light is flicked on.

He's going after these big outlets because he's a boomer and this is what he knows. He doesn't give a shit about some indie news website or substack, at least not yet. In a few years that may change.

He must have known his mail was being monitored, surely his lawyers would have informed him. Not that it means anything, it could be true or not. Around the same time Ghislaine had herself photographed reading a book about Mossad in public. These people were clearly trying to communicate a threat.

As we all knew, there is no justifiable reasons for these redactions.

Oh I have no doubt this is true. She knows what she was hired for.

Think I read 58-59 books this year. I'm on comics until the new year at least.

This is generally the fatal flaw in all for-profit media

An "expert" is a person who accurately articulates the consensus of the elite class.

While this is an egregious case, you would be surprised how many editors will not run a story without "official" confirmation from deputy directors/commanders on or off the record. These editors got kids to put through college & many aren't going to risk their careers on a story the gov won't like.

really cannot be emphasized enough that bari weiss has literally never done journalism. i don’t mean that in the pejorative sense. i mean that in the “has never performed the job she was hired to do” sense

CBS is cooked. It's been a few decades coming but we are witnessing the death of American journalism. Nothing good follows in the aftermath of that.

The group who has spent a lifetime decrying identity politics sure likes clinging to this Heritage American™️ bullshit.

Because Bari knows who butters her bread.

nothing i can say about these people is crueler than their behavior toward each other

There is a tremendous opportunity for a brand new generation of media outlets to rise up right now because many news outlets that spent decades painstakingly building their credibility are seeing it torched by bootlickers with incredible speed.

Guess I'm back at it.

Sounds pretty guilty to me.

A key aspect to all of this is the fact that while Donald Trump is the most famous person in the world now, he wasn’t two decades ago. Yes famous, but not famous enough to have this many photos with him unless he’s deep in your social circle

Guess it’s time for the annual re-viewing of the epic American piece of art known as “Heat”

Like it or not progressively larger groups of people are going to worship AIs as God. It fits nicely into the religious archetypes, AI materializing in our world seemingly without precedent and teaching us how to live is similar to the story of Christ.

It's like the corporate media just instinctually knows how they are supposed to report on Epstein. They only report on it at all because the public is so pissed about being gaslit. share.google/zLMQtk5bMAZI...

bruh if we could never get another article by david brookes ever again that would be great.

"Has feminism failed women brought to you by bank of america" is my MKULTRA sleeper agent activation phrase

These fucking people never heard of the civil rights movement, race riots, Vietnam protests, etc and make it sound like America was a nature preserve for bunny rabbits before women starting coming into the workplace.

Turchin's "elite overproduction" thesis got things wrong. It's not that there are too many fighting over a declining pie. It's that all elite systems historically face turmoil when the social foundations that gave rise to them change.

It’s bad enough they are so dumb, but now they are emboldened to be dumb in public.

This weekend we have a @theteamhouse.bsky.social ep for you with Anthony Vinci formerly DIA and NGA. We discuss AI, synthetic biology, economic espionage, quantum computing, cognitive warfare, disinformation, and open source intel plus lots more. youtu.be/8i4n7pG4Ngk?...

Basically the same deal when you FOIA USASOC. I've never gotten a single document out of the CIA, just rejection letters. If you don't have a lawyer filing a lawsuit, FOIA is almost useless.

There is a sickness in the prevailing social order, everyone knows it, and we're all supposed to go on with our normal lives and pretend this shit doesn't exist because it inconveniences the elite class.

Just remember, these type of redactions are not to protect victims. They are to protect pedophiles, many of whom are still at large. That's what our government is doing, protecting pedophiles.

It doesn't work the way it does on the tv shows. It took the FBI 17 years to catch the unabomber. Especially if there is no real connection between the shooter and the victim, they're probably going to have a hard time closing that case.

"WE DEFY is a stand-out and worthy of your time. While a ‘history’, it is tightly written and will appeal to a broader audience, to include aficionados of the military thriller genre. But unlike a fictional thriller, it’s real." -Amazon reviewer www.amazon.com/We-Defy-Chap...

The main thing here is the anecdotal suggestion of Bovino’s persona maybe helping recruit right-wing military veterans to CBP, but note also how Bovino calls some CBP personnel “operators” (presumably he means BORTAC). GWOT SOF aesthetics, language, etc. are going to be with us for a long time.
