Scrooge: You boy, what day is it? “Why, it’s the day Ben Folds drove his girlfriend to get an abortion, sir.” Scrooge: Ah, yes, day after Christmas.

Hear me out, as if any network would have the balls to broadcast such.

I mean yeah it’s an authoritarian takeover but can we take some comfort in the fact that the people doing it are INSANELY stupid?

So of course I screwed up the announcement post for the new Hardcore History by not including g the art of Erich Sayers that goes with the show. So...here it is now

Hi all. I know it's been a long time. Sorry for the wait. Hope it's halfway decent. "Happy Hardcore History Day". dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3...

🇺🇸 WATCH: US company Anduril unveiled the EagleEye combat helmet, built with Meta, Oakley, Qualcomm and Gentex, combining augmented reality, AI threat-tracking and real-time command tools to help soldiers detect enemies, navigate terrain and coordinate units.

The official government account for DHS appears to be run by far-right trolls deliberately trying to provoke a response by using a term openly associated with ethnic cleansing. They will attack anyone who points this out and express faux outrage at the suggestion. They know what they are doing.

If you want forgiveness, all you need to do is ask....

@audacityofdespair.bsky.social Hi David When Idris first auditioned did you have a bet about where he was from?

@billkristolbulwark.bsky.social @audacityofdespair.bsky.social he ain't got the balls. Literally according to South Park..

I’d bet the beans that Vance and Murdoch are working together. @gtconway.bsky.social this would drive Donald even more off the deep end.

You have to have at least 1 person in your life you can tell the absolute truth to....

The president has been ratioed on his own social media platform. MAGA is pissed. We need to keep hammering on this. @democrats.senate.gov @democrats-judiciary.house.gov @democrats.org

Important questions when news of a signing breaks... How does that impact the new team? How does it impact the old team? What are the terms? But, most of all... WHICH AGENTS NEGOTIATED THE DEAL? 😱

Reports indicate a possible drone strike tonight targeting an apartment in a high-rise in Tehran’s Farmanieh District. Rumors suggest senior IRGC officials or nuclear scientists may have been the intended targets. No group has claimed responsibility.

Hey, all. I don't normally get personal, but someone I love was the victim of a horrible scam. If you can help, that would be great! www.gofundme.com/f/rebuilding...

BREAKING: A targeted assassination has been reported in Qom, Iran, Faytuks Network reported. It remains unclear on who was the target.

@dancarlin.bsky.social One of the guys on Little Wars TV was wearing a Hardcore History T Shirt.... 😆. 250th anniversary of Bunker Hill War game.

Could be something big.

Latest apparent Iranian launch of ballistic missiles has prompted sounding of sirens in Haifa and across northern Israel.

The Israeli Air Force has bombed the IRIB building housing the Iranian state television channel. During a live broadcast, an air strike on the building was recorded.

Recorded from Kuwait.

Israel.

You've missed everything, idiot. The point is decidedly not in a comparison of current victims. The point is you or those on your side will not be the arbiter of who deserves political assassination and who does not. The bloodshed in this new American norm will be determined by the gunmen alone.
