Just had a reason to look up and share this perfect @bakoon.bsky.social post from a decade ago

Astatru Folk Assembly in shambles

tbc, it is Stieg Larsson villain character shit. which does not originate in fiction.

Santos has always seemed to me the Ideal Trumpist in a unique way. Prissy thug, delusions of grandeur abetted by repeatedly dodging punishment for his many crimes, soul-deep aversion to honest work, good copy as a result. We'll never be rid of him.

He clearly got it for dumbass Marine reasons and not “I am literally a Nazi” reasons but he’s also been lying his ass off about it

in any remotely serious society, "leaving guns lying around your house" would be the kind of thing that prevents you from being able to adopt a dog let alone run for office. unfortunately life in hamburgerreich is rarely serious

this business of a man locking someone in a room during a disagreement is such a hard dealbreaker for basic membership in society.

Let’s be clear, because I see a lot of people glossing over this. These allegations are of domestic abuse and physical violence. You could get an order of protection based on these allegations. Domestic abuse isn’t about “hitting,” it’s about using violence and coercion to control your partner.

Imagine the pure joy of getting to write this www.nytimes.com/2026/06/04/u...

Another Confederate monument falls.

a perfect sketch. one of the funniest things ever put to film, imo youtu.be/n-Bfkc6lZok?...

would you be shaken to the core by ghastly revelations or not really

I once got so drunk I couldn’t figure out where I was so I called a friend and asked them to come get me and they said “where are you? What does the street sign say?” And I said “one way” and then passed out in front of a taqueria but I never physically assaulted a mate or joined Blackwater.

I would like it known that everything I did wrong from birth until 3 p.m. yesterday should be classified as part of my personal growth journey and can never be held against me. I was a different person.

They’re packaging it like this so it looks like a shallow trend, but Gen Z has gone through two financial crises, a pandemic, rising fascism, active shooter drills since they were toddlers, and are now being told by the oligarchy they’re to be replaced by robots. Socialism is the logical conclusion.

I think also the thing is each of us has a finite supply of energy and time. And the more we spend on fuckers outside of our spheres of influence, the less we spend on the fuckers inside our spheres of influence.

The only winner in Platner discourse is Platner and a really great way to mitigate that outcome is if we all stop caring so much about politics outside our constituencies. I know that that flies in the face of the last 15 years of online praxis but I will also like to point out where that’s got us

there should be a thing where you can nominate someone deserving to knock one of the letters off

We are not angry enough--a whistleblower provided evidence a DOGE brat stole social sec data & sold it to a Palantir contractor. Our data is used to sell services back to the govt at taxpayer expense for big profits. That is OUR data. Instead of investigating the whisteblower is threatened 😠

Again, every single person involved in DOGE, including Elon Musk, needs to be sent to jail for the rest of their lives for these unprecedented crimes & constitutional violations.

It sounds crazy, but I guess when somebody tells you their only mistake was a Nazi tattoo, its possible they actually made a series of other mistakes that did not happen to produce a Nazi tattoo.

truly an onomatopoetic face, too

This guy has the most NFL tight end name in the sport right now

No shit??

This ep really helped me understand the very specific meaning of “extremism” as it’s used by Berger et al - it’s a very useful concept, tho tbh I still wish it had a different name.

it’s always kinda wild to me that @404media.co has sorted out how to offer subscriber RSS feeds, but larger outlets e.g. @wired.com haven’t. I subscribe to both regardless, but seems like a pretty nice incentive for subscription!

"Pam Bondi got ASS CANCER" would have been a funny thing to post a few months ago. but now it just looks like i read the newspaper wrong

don’t let anyone tell you that bluesky doesn’t have the juice

I love her

after Elle screening tonight someone asked Isabelle Huppert if the cat was a good co-star. she lit up, said “I’m so glad you ask this question,” talked about how well-trained it was, how much she loved it and her own cat. refused to divulge what her cat is called because “it’s too strange a name”

LET WOMEN HAVE HOBBIES

The regulatory state is more important to the smooth operation of society to which we’ve become accustomed than anyone in this administration realizes, and in a lot of ways, we’ve already run off the cliff and are just starting to look down

it’s because there’s raw shit in the milk. consuming cow shit can lead to illness

I saw Marjane Satrapi speak about her work at Smith College 19 years ago, and she said something I have thought about and taught ever since when I teach comics. “I draw what I can’t write and I write what I can’t draw.“

"would you live in a jail cell for 37 days to win $835,000" is like your average Mr Beast challenge

“The only thing worth writing about is the human heart in conflict with itself” — William Faulkner

Wait,what? How? Why? My memory of Satrapi is when she came to The Boston Globe while promoting the movie version of Persepolis. Lit up a cigarette. Someone said “You can’t smoke here.” She said “Don’t be ridiculous” and proceeded to chain-smoke throughout the entire visit. RIP to a real one.

BREAKING: the correspondents of 60 Minutes are inventing anarcho-syndicalism from first principles

you can tell a place is really good for dumping when theres a No Dumping Allowed sign there.

"A masked group unfurling a racist banner should not be surprising in Quebec, where extremist ideologies and far-right groups are on the rise" montrealgazette.com/opinion/colu...

it’s so fucked up that there is a prominent public entity called “The Winklevoss Twins”

why are ppl still using substack when blogspot is right there

My crankiest old man take is that referring to all art/entertainment/journalism/criticism/comedy/advertising as “content” helped pave the way for broad-ish acceptance of AI slop.

I'm sorry how tf is someone paying for health insurance not "legit"

I don’t want to imagine a flesh colored Yoda but I do want to imagine Yoda giving birth to a flesh colored Yoda because that would be beautiful
