“You said the 2020 election was rigged by either Venezuela or China. When you called that fella in Georgia pleading for 11,780 votes, was that part of the rigging, or part of the 6-year investigation? Just one more thing, sir, who was president while all this rigging took place?”

TRANS WINS BABY!!

Nice work, everyone! Keep it up!

I’ll never forget just how good Sam Neill was as a horror genre actor. Absolutely one of my favorites: In The Mouth of Madness, Event Horizon. The ability to convey horror by smiling is a rare gift. RIP

No party campaigned on age verification. Nobody the US voted for this. Nobody the EU voted for this. Nobody the UK voted for this. Nobody in Australia voted for this. Some don't even know it's happening. Meta lobbied for this and got their way within a few years. Let this radicalize you.
