New from me, the right are arguing amongst themselves about whether "woke" is dead or merely transformed. The real problem they refuse to admit to themselves is that they still can't define this word and never could.

Here it comes.

New from me, the right are arguing amongst themselves about whether "woke" is dead or merely transformed. The real problem they refuse to admit to themselves is that they still can't define this word and never could.

Twitter now claims it has uncovered an extortion/bribery plot on its platform masterminded by cybercrime network "The Com." "The Com" just so happens to be from where Elon Musk recruited Big Balls. I'm sorry to make you try to parse that sentence.

"He's actually invoking a very common idiom." "Not according to Occam's razor he's not!"

They truly think their Reichstag fire has arrived

1st time I got doxed (before GG, when some nerds mad because I thought interactive fiction deserved to be on Steam and I got the 1st one approved to be on the platform) they got my info from a signup to house people displaced by the Boston marathon bombing. The concern around protest signup is legit

Honor the legacy of Charlie Kirk by being shot at. Eh, makes sense.

"Actually," says JD Vance, sneering through his eyeliner as Attorney General Catturd personally straps Obama into the Rack, "It's about ethics in games journalism."

So antifa is a terror organization but fa isn't

I love how Chris Rufo pretends "civil discourse and persuasive debate" is anything close to how he does politics. His strategy, which he will openly admit, is to manufacture controversy, misrepresent facts, and then use mindgames and brute force tactics to silence his opposition. Not "persuasion."

You know what bugs me is that MAGA people are tweeting about losing faith in Trump about stuff like the stolen 2020 election, Russia, and DOGE, but their revelation isn't that he lied about those things, which Occam's razor says is the most likely reason nobody can find any actionable evidence.

I want you all to know I am talking the names of anyone I see insufficiently mourning Robert Redford and your employer will hear from me soon.

This story blows my mind. Korea was doing exactly what Trump wanted! Moving their manufacturing to the United States! What the fuck is he making an example of them for?? What is he doing? Playing the "unpredictable madman" card? Against an unquestionable ally?

Jokes aside you know that New York Times is absolutely going to settle that lawsuit, right?

"My name is Tyler (Robertson scribbled out) Robinson and this is my legal confession. This over rules anything that I say to cops later. I killed Charlie Kirk because I am a secret trans. Kash Patel is the only one smart enough to catch me. Signed (Kas scribbled out) Tyler Robertson

Once again Wormtongue Taibbi doesn't have any principles beyond what will benefit or harm him. He'll enthusiastically declare he's coming around to Christian Nat'lism to stay on the good side of MAGA. I remember when he was in favour of SLAPP suits against Media Matters because he thinks they suck.

I think the best explainer I've heard so far is that this is beyond politics and it's a result of the deep, post-ironic, nihilistic internet culture--that this shooting was, essentially, a shitpost. (sorry for the twitter link, but) x.com/RealJakeBroe...

Locked box with a scribbled note inside: 1. anita sarkisanisn 2. ex wife 3. karl (guy at gym) (eat shit karl) 4. trans (all) 5. hilary clinton 5. guy in apartment above (suspect jew?) 5. rest of jews 5. femininsm

"If progressives didn't want ordinary people to lose their jobs for not mourning Charlie Kirk sufficiently, then female celebrities shouldn't have complained about their producers raping them"

once the dweeby white dudes they found out he's a dweeby white guy, they decided he was effectively blameless for his decisions and instead the villain are nebulous corrupting "forces" who made him do what he did. so incredibly transparent

I hope I'm being hysterical in thinking the current mainstream right narratives of "put every liberal out of a job" and "exterminate the homeless" might be related

Heh

this is how i found out the shooter was unvaccinated lmao

Right wing media still relentlessly hunting down the trans connection they're sure Tyler Robinson absolutely must have. If it doesn't exist then thousands of words of pre-written articles are going to go to waste

Elon Musk, who doesn't know anything about Britain or its government but still says "we" because he is a white supremacist, thinks "we don't have another four years, or whenever the next election is," and claims first hand knowledge of what the British people think.

(Pundit who has let his brain dissolve in Elon Musk’s white nationalist shithole) “Boy, these other people have lost touch with the real world.”

Elon Musk is supposedly too busy with his 7 companies to do anything else, but he's been in a zoom call with Tommy Robinson's white nationalist rally for like an hour

growing into what, sally?

Kirk didn't serve in the military or hold office. The war hero treatment -- half-mast flags, military guard, Air Force Two escort, calls for a statue at the Capitol or to lie in the Rotunda -- shows that for MAGA, service to Trump has become the highest, most honorable form of service.

A media that's doing its job properly would investigate the connection between this person and Vice President JD Vance. "CD" is also connected to former US Attorney for DC Ed Martin, who was taking tips from him to intimidate and threaten people like Stancil

Thanks, Matt Taibbi!

In the USA the head of the Republican party is treated as the head of the Evangelical church... America's pope, essentially

My written signature also degraded into an indecipherable scribble over the course of decades, and I don't have to sign seven hundred executive orders a day

I'm writing a book about the rise of reactionary movements in Western geek culture, particularly since the beginning of the internet until now, and how we got stuck in this shitty alt-white meme-fash tech-dystopia within a mere 25 years: Article thread! 1/🧵

I will engage in economic warfare to prevent your company importing from overseas factories, and I will use military force to prevent you from opening factories in the USA. I am president geniusman

So uhhh.... states' rights?

BREAKING: Guy obsessed with Godzilla writes an article about #Godzilla (and absolutely nothing else) for McSweeney's. Read it here. Thank you for your attention to this matter! www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/god...

The FBI uses a lot of shitty people as cooperators and informants but Trump is a great example of someone they wouldn’t use — a pathologically narcissistic braggart who could never keep a secret or maintain focus. It would be like asking the Trix rabbit to wear a wire.

If the US is going to start renaming its Departments for functional accuracy then what are they going to rename the Department of Health and Human Services?

I will fight to prevent knowing

Enjoy the anti-woke while it lasts, we’re just gearing up for Woke 2 and it’s going to blow your socks off. Oh, oh, you don’t like paper straws? We’re bringing in paper forks and knives, biatch

The Aussie press not holding back when it comes to its coverage of neo-Nazis.

Trump's eyes close and he lays still. The heart monitor goes flat. But then, a beep. The music intensifies. His health bar begins to fill back up.

Tag yourself, I'm ethical theory 2
