ICE shooter Joshua Jahn's politics aren't what's being reported, three longtime former friends tell me. www.kenklippenstein.com/p/the-ice-sh...

Chapter 4 of The Green Hornet tonight so don't bug me. (Heh...ye get it?) | www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Hy6...

This assumes we had a democracy in the first place, one of the many dangerous assumptions that led us to our current hell. But my "why?" would be "because we have no opposition party, & the fake one we think we have only considers people to be real people if they host TV shows."

Heard my first Charlie Kirk Conspiracy Theory in the real world today & I'm not feeling good about it. I have to work with this person and she's baking her brain with YouTube, same as the rest of us.

2/ In 2001, Borsook said tech "libertarianism" reflected an adolescent mindset, with a craving for unchecked independence & resistance to constraint. She warned that tech libertarians wanted an anti-human world that worked more like a computer. From "Cyberselfish," a book based on her 90s writing:

I tap the damn sign all day every damn day! I swear.

Shitting on comics you haven't read for easy likes from haters is the new punk rock, it appears.

Fair play to 'em, "Casino Royale Again, But Worse" would fit right in with all the big franchise trends, like "the last two solo Batman movies in 3 hours instead of 5, but worse" or "The last two Superman movies in 2 hours instead of 5, but worse" or "a Marvel film you gotta watch 3 shows to get"

My unpopular take is that it's weird to not realize that the movement in youth to get rid of sex scenes is also a fascist movement to stigmatize sexuality and kinks outside of the realm of heteronormativity.

We already got a bond origin story it was called "Casino Royale."

Most rational economic system in history™

FUCK THIS. Hurt their feelings *more*. Any CEO who tries to destroy the country or undermine policy because they didn't get their ass kissed with a fucking invite to the White House was _always going to betray the country anyway_. Spend this much time trying to appease the poor! Fuck's sake.

Waiting for the Advil in my stomach to melt like:

This has already happened.

Better Than Ezra (Klein)

Recent events have me thinking about President Garfield's assassin Charles Guiteau and how he couldn't even get laid as a member of the free-love practicing Oneida cult, to the point his nickname became "Charles Getout."

I figured it out: Tylenol stole a time machine from a 1985 teenager who found himself stranded in 1955 & traveled back to the early 40s to create autism. Simple, really.

I have a few thoughts about the Sex Scene Discourse which I will now share #1. Shaddap

Kash Patel is the head of the FBI because he wrote pro-Trump fanfic for children. Keep this in mind when he is giving out briefings.

Cool this is amazing the guy is FINALLY polling at net 1%, the most popular he’s ever been. 1%. Nobody cares about Charlie Kirk. Trump certainly doesn’t.

some of y'all need to hear this

The sum total of all Kamala book clips and interviews is that she's a singularly awful political actor; not only ideologically vacuous but literally no good instincts or ability to articulate ideas! Absolutely mindboggling that there are *still* people arguing she ran a perfect campaign

The Return of Godzilla (1984)

😭

This makes total sense when you realize that in halls of power and on platforms of influence, "bias" has nothing to do with facts or equality; it only ever means and can only ever mean "contradicts white supremacist narratives."

Personally, all my fears about Gen Z being the Junior Anti-sex League Generation are allayed by how hot all their musicians are. So much so it feels inappropriate for me to recognize their hotness, even in a diagnostic way.

This is so real

Their US nazi utopia is an ethnically-cleansed and theocratically policed disneyland of endless guilt-free shopping.

These are all bots. Seriously, what happened to, "everything I don't like is a bot network influence op"? Or is there a corollary now that we Millennials are all old, tired & hopeless? "...unless it reinforces my generational anxieties"?

More Green Hornet tonight. The whole thing's on YouTube if you'd like | www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Hy6...

Had to watch The Parallax View over the weekend (a) because I saw Devil's Own last month & (b) for reasons that should be obvious if you've seen it. And if you haven't you should, because it's pretty good. | boxd.it/b8FSID

"social media enabled op-ed writers to see what people actually thought of their drivel for the first time and it drove them incurably insane" theory wins out every time

Just another reminder that Social Security has a fraud rate of 0.00625% which is FAR lower than private sector retirement programs.

Have they considered taking away the AI's ability to work from home

Declining empire ruled by a bewildered senile old man is such a heavy handed metaphor it’s wild we did it twice in a row

This was the plot to a LOT of kids movies in the 80s if you Zoomers wanted to understand why some of us are Like That.

The replies and quote skeets from TLJ fans who are mad at John for saying this make it soooo worth it.

I promise you that Donald Trump is a capitalist dictator through and through. Kamala is lying to y'all liberals. Communism does not exist in the United States.

Some piece of shit just told me it’s only Tuesday.

RIP Claudia Cardinale.

Jesus Fucking Christ. 1800 Disappeared.

Need to work harder to get myself on such a list.

Even the court jesters have terminal Medieval Peasant Brain.

i love people so much. “are you gay” ew fuck no “have you had sex with another man” yeah bro like just last week. i ain’t a fuckin fag tho bro don’t worry i don’t bottom

Covid. Everybody is sick all the time now but the social pressure to cosplay normal means no one can even mention it. Societies across the globe are sick and tired of being sick and tired but acknowledging the ongoing burden of illness is verboten. The cognitive dissonance is killing us.

I always made fun of pre-2020 German politicians that were afraid of inflation like the Plague, turns out they were right!! Prices rising are the one thing that cuts through every messaging, chart and metric that you can throw at people, it is not even irrational per se!

Shana Tova to everyone celebrating Rosh Hashanah!

centrist: come on. we need to work together on this! no. actually. we don't. i want to replace you with a government that is actually useful. all my life we've done things the 'centrist' way and it doesn't work. it hasn't achieved anything worthwhile and everyone is suffering for it.

Nevermind, I looked it up. Some South African preacher made a prediction & was dumb enough to put a date on it. Dude looks like a clone of Djimon Hounsou the Teen Titans broke out of the Cadmus Project before they could age him up past "20-something-ish."
