Reading Superman comics. Love the Creeper. Need more.

"No masks unless the mask is useful for concealing the identity of the secret policeman in question" is a real weird place to try and convince people you're making a stand. It's just really evident that Grandpa thinks we're stupid.

I made the bad guy in my second book, Sovereign (2017), a seasteading billionaire who liked Curtis Yarvin, and I have never been proven wrong even once in that decision.

Democrats are the party of love. Republicans are the party of hate. If the current Dems can't run on that, defenestrate them.

what the fuck man

I think often of the women in the Louis CK story—how they all left comedy and never went back, but he’s still going. It’s everywhere and it’s such a loss for them and for us—for things they’ll never make that we’ll never see.

This week, during a hearing on the proposed merger between Netflix and Warner Bros., Josh Hawley used his time to attack Netflix for "trans ideology." Its the latest in a pressure campaign to get the platform to remove all trans characters. The latest from our writer, S. Baum.

The fact that conventions can't have a shared resource for People We Have Banned For Being Creeps &/or Assholes because such a document would be considered professional libel was a REAL EYE OPENER when I started conrunning.

There is no kind of violence or exploitation that the rich and powerful will not make excuses for to avoid reckoning with the reality of their own position.

The counter-attack on reality has begun. Today I have seen both "Those mean ol' Russians deliberately exposed how many of our rich and powerful are pedophiles" and "The Epstein stuff is a moral panic" but not even a single discussion of what a real reckoning with what we have learned would entail.

Simply put, the Right unconsciously needs to make children suffer like they suffered, preferably even worse. They want to ensure they go through the same abuses and find power in moving from the role of abused to abuser. That’s what’s underneath our fascist struggle.

The psychology of Right Wing authoritarianism is rooted in backgrounds of being abused as children by authoritarians and then becoming abusers when they are adults. That happens in families and it scales upwards to culture and politics. That’s what’s happening now.

every time i see social media/tech/entertainment companies caving on their support for women, minorities, lgbt people, etc it reminds me that an unspoken central pillar of traditional masculinity is being a pathetic sniveling worm who will abandon all beliefs if a sneering asshole tells you to

today's report: our "adopt a rent" venmo campaign paid 43 families rents who were at risk of evictions, including several moms of 4+ children this is the way to get rent paid fast. like. 1000x better than any other way.

I know it doesn't feel like it, but I think we're going to win.

Renfeild: I booked your passage on the Demeter, master Dracula: thankfs. dont foret the box of,, dert

Word is you've got about a year to get ready for Dreadnought 3. After that, I'm afraid I can't help you.

This is actually bad. I know a lot of people are gonna be like "oh boo hoo" but this is actually bad. It signals, at least to me, and end of concern for the integrity of the historical record, since this publication was basically an official "What Uncle Sam thinks about the world" book.

it must be annoying to be a 90 year old Republican congressman and have to pretend like you know what's going on anymore. you got into politics to pass laws giving out tax breaks for every horse you own but your groyper staffers are like "you need to condemn a new YA novel about bottom surgery"

Dreadnought 3 exists. Doing a last little bit of polish and then I'm sending it off to the editor.

I mean it sounds like we should all be emailing Joseph Dernbach, prosecutor at DHS, and ask why the fuck he'd send goons to someone's door.

Also, the fact that 9/11 last year was about a celebrity murder and not the mass murder that defines our lives is a pretty good clue that America is Over It when it comes to 9/11 and we should end all those states of emergency, don't you think?

The scariest part of last year was the bit between the death of Charlie Kirk on 9/11's Eve and the October shutdown. That three week period in September was one of the scariest times in my life.

We're now at the government-funded kidnapping squads level of competitive authoritarianism, and they want you to know they hope it gets worse.

Chuck Schumer, tireless defender of ICE, is doing his best to deflate the movement to abolish them by pushing a slate of nonsense reforms that will change nothing. They already ignore the laws against *murder*, so these suggestions are meaningless.

JK Rowling and the I Nothing to Hide and Don't Ask Where My Boat Went

So many trans people are abandoned by their childhood families and yet whiney millennial adults can't give up their wizard lady.

They wanted to destroy society because the existence of a high functioning society threatens their ability to enslave and rape children

They are punishing the first reporter who interviewed victims live on air. Remember how Daphne Caruana Galizia, the reporter who broke the Panama Papers, was murdered? This is how power and wealth protects itself from our scrutiny.

I do genuinely think that beyond all the political and economic changes we need to make after this nightmare, we have to make sociocultural changes of like "naw dude not all ideas are valid or deserve time" make hate shameful embarrassing and consequential, liberal use of "fuck off" in every setting

Damn I can't believe the military arm of the Tear Down The Administrative State party is having trouble caring for its stormtroopers' administrative needs.

maybe this time we can finally internalize that anyone who whines about stuff like “sjws” or “wokeness” is either doing so because they have fucked up motives or because they listen to too many people who do

Neither? I worship my Self, and I am very pro-my-religion. I oppose or support other people's religious expression based on how that expression does or does not harm others.

man i have really had it with all these fuckin nazis man

This is a really important point - it's not so much that there's a massive carefully orchestrated conspiracy with thousands of heads so much as it is that for people like Epstein, being the nexus point of global elite was literally their JOB (as opposed to the trafficking, which was a side hustle)

I'm not reading the Epstein doc dump because I'm already trying not to kill myself, but I'm hearing there's evidence this whole transphobia thing was being pushed by this gang of pedos and ... I am struggling

the confirmation of contemporary transphobia as a political movement has been the brainchild of a boys club made up of some of the most disgusting monsters in recent memory to explicitly keep trans women disenfranchised so as to subjugate and exploit us for their own sexual gain is like a lot, dawg

This is Jerry Lawson. He invented the video game cartridge for the Fairchild Channel F system. Because of his invention, many consoles had cartridges and CD formats and would become the norm. The Atari 2600, NES, Genesis, and many consoles wouldn't exist without him. Happy Black History Month.

I am frustrated by the lack of serious, big-budget examinations of Cthullu et all.

Developing a theory that Lucifer was the first person to transition to female.

'measles outbreak at the child prison' seems entirely avoidable, it's really the kind of thing that only happens if you do several unthinkably evil things on purpose all at once

Murder.

Clippings, FYI

The overwhelming emotional sensation of the new Epstein files drop is "There they are! That's the enemy! Let's just...GET THEM!"
