also, if I’m not mistaken, the FCC chair just affirmed his plan to end free speech in America in a reply to the guy who played the wheelchair kid on Glee

Literally fascism. Literally what the Nazis did with Horst Wessel.

And then the dorks cheer the other dorks on because reasons.

the joke that got Kimmel kicked off ABC isn't even at the expense of Charlie Kirk. the way the US is accelerating in fascism is truly scaring the shit out of me!

The statement that got Kimel suspended: “We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them, and doing everything they can to score political points from it,” Kimmel said in his monologue.”

For no particular reason, here's a stained glass window of Bob Marley as St George, about to slay the racist dragon of Babylon. Taken at his house at Hope Road in Kingston, Jamaica.

I see yesterday's Colorado school shooting is not news today.

It is quite simply dishonest to describe TPUSA as a “free speech” organization and not even mention the “Professor Watchlist,” as NPR just did. Reporting on a crime does not entail adopting the victim’s views.

He was a very talented shitposter who was adept at creating selectively edited, “own the college kid libs” content that made his boomer billionaire funders and MAGA Republicans happy. That’s what his fans admired him for. There’s no need to pretend like he was something other than what he was.

These people genuinely know nothing of the history—white conservative state & vigilante violence has been arguably *the defining feature* of U.S. history. They apparently also know very little of the present, in which, again, the very opposite is the case.

This is amazing but also, WE SHOULD HAVE THIS NATIONWIDE

Justice Sotomayor, joined by Kagan and Jackson, in dissent: "We should not have to live in a country where the Government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish, and appears to work a low wage job. Rather than stand idly by while our constitutional freedoms are lost, I dissent."

This is the same court that just said you can't use race at all in college admissions. It was always about white supremacy.

Gross, and it looks like OpenAI trained from 13 of my publications, including my two books.
