The Trump bots on X keep gaslighting about cocaine under random tweets today. This UFC thing at the white house probably has a lot of cocaine usage, judging by the subject matter of the coordinated gaslighting attempts. Cocaine & Ketamine use is high among right-wing circles, so it's not uncommon.

@SepticSnake You can find Janek over at @jrp . I think I gave you the wrong account before.

Reading a book about an Italian aristocrat at the end of the aristocratic era. I have zero sympathy for this guy and was wondering if I was obscuring something by seeing this through the lens of my modern hatred of oligarchs. But then I remembered that in the period this is set in, people were […]

It’s genuinely depressing to watch our foreign policy shrink into something this unserious, this hollow, and this embarrassing.

"Viking" was a job, not an ethnicity. Most Scandinavians at the time were never Vikings, and only the short-livedest, unluckiest young men were Vikings for their whole lives. The aim of most Vikings was to buy a farm and get married. #Viking #history
