Really? 🤨 #DeathGrifting www.youtube.com/live/WQ4mfSg...

Just heard on PBS that Barron Trump is a fan of the Tate brothers, the two guys being investigated in three different countries for rape and sex trafficking. I'm sad mostly because it doesn't surprise me at all. 😔 #ItHasHappenedHere

Getting going on Substack. Just added this post I wrote years ago, now with some new introductory remarks. jeffirvinphd.substack.com/p/white-repl...

We need more of this attitude when it comes to #TheAIGrift. bsky.app/profile/theg...

Stephen Miller is Charles Murray on cocaine at a Klan rally. 😒

This is not a story of empowerment (pun intended). This is a story of desperation against an economic system we've decided cannot be countered by public, democratic action. Things need to change! #UBI #MEDICARE4ALL #FREEEDUCATION www.pbs.org/newshour/sho...

I've always thought of Maher as a thirsty comic, the kind that laughs too much at his own jokes when the audience offers only a light guffaw. This scene makes Maher look as thirsty as ever, desperate for Joe Rogan-level popularity while going for the pseudo-intellectual gravity of Jordan Peterson.

Michael Connelly has a new novel out in which the world of tech, AI, and the incel world collide. It illustrates one dangerous aspect of #TheAIGrift, it's potential to corrupt the mind of the young into doing stupid shit.

2:35 to 2:50 is hilarious! 🤣 youtube.com/watch?v=RcPt...

I was looking at this and it hit me why Trump et al. must be cruel and unrelenting in their deportation scheme, if they weren't the people below would have no one to point to and say, "At least we're better off than them." #RelativeDeprivation

Something like this. 😁

Am I the only one who gets Aunt Gladys vibes from this woman? 😧 p.s., screw philanthropy! Pay some fucking taxes!! 🤬

A much-needed corrective to all #TheAIGrift bullshit being slung by our so-called free press. 🙄 open.substack.com/pub/gedsperb...

I have not yet seen a video of a puppy nodding off next to a video of #DozyDon nodding off in his cabinet meeting yesterday. Come on, Internet! Don't disappoint me now. 😁

The great middle between the depressive, and largely correct, screeds of Chris Hedges and the pollyannaish pablum of Ezra Klein appears to be this excrement. None of it helps the average hardworking American. #UBI #MEDICARE4ALL #FREEEDUCATION

Time to crush up some more Adderall into the Diet Coke. #IsHeDeadYet

The only thing missing is the cabinet, in unison, muttering "Teamwork. Teamwork." as Trump shuffles around the table with a baseball bat. #ItHasHappenedHere

It's said that Cato the Elder would end his rhetoric, regardless of the topic, with the following: "Delenda est Carthago." This means Carthage must be destroyed. @democrats.org should do the same, except they should end every conversation with, "Release the #EpsteinFiles."

Maybe working Democrats should all just join these folks? #UBI #MEDICARE4ALL #FREEEDUCATION Source: Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) - share.google/xA1UifiTcznT...

This is why we need #UBI, #MEDICARE4ALL & #FREEEDUCATION!

That is one way of putting it. However, I would suggest she sees that the grift is finally drying up and is choosing to move on to greener pastures. Question remains: Is the grift only drying up for her or the whole Republican establishment? #ItHasHappenedHere

Reading Carl Hiaasen's latest. Dale is a chronic masturbator, rejected by the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers for said autoeroticism. He starts a group called Strokers for Liberty. Also, he's employed at a sex doll factory and has a perpetual case of carpal tunnel, which is not work-related. 🤣

I heard Kristi "Kruella" Noem this morning say that they are going to "persecute" anyone who might have known what was going on with the Afghani national who shot two national guard personnel. "Persecute"? Not prosecute? #ItHasHappenedHere

This whole Venezuela thing has me thinking back to Tom Clancy's "Clear and Present Danger." #ItHasHappenedHere

Les Misérables

"Part of of team." 😁

My teachers always used to say, "Why you asking questions? Don't you know that only stupid people ask questions?" I was never deterred. In fact, I still ask questions today, like "How is it possible this walking sack of excrement convinced 77 million people to vote for him?" #ItHasHappenedHere

SoftVoice is an AI call center software that eliminates angry language from customer calls. It made me think of K & P's Obama interpreter but reversed. So, scream "I'm coming to burn down your mother fucking business!" and AI translates that as "Customer is extremely dissatisfied with product." 🤣

I want to learn how to play Dungeons and Dragons, just to see what all the fuss is about. #BucketList

Remember the opening scene of "Death of Stalin" when they must create an impromptu recording of the concert they just played on the radio but failed to record? #ItHasHappenedHere www.cnbc.com/2025/11/25/t...

It would be interesting if this led to a "Mourdock Effect." That is where moderate to conservative candidates are primaried by individuals who say outlandish things like "even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that...is something that God intended to happen." #BlueWave2026

JFC! The construct of whiteness is a powerful drug. 😒

Me scrolling Netflix and then finally deciding what to watch. 👀

If @radiofreetom.bsky.social was not a practicing socialist who never served on the Politburo why did he claim to be an "expert" on the U.S.S.R. and international relations during the Cold War? 🤔

This is why #Republicons will lose in the long run, they think they are the majority in the absence of voter fraud when there is no voter fraud. #ItHasHappenedHere

Henry II once said, "Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?" After uttering these words, Henry's men then went and killed Thomas Becket, the Archbisop of Canterbury. Trump knows exactly how his words will be interpreted by his cult followers. #ItHasHappenedHere

If all the world was populated by Steve Wozniaks we would have no need of law nor armies.

Bruce Schneier was correct when he wrote in 2000 that social engineering attacks are the biggest threat to a networked society. This begs the question, is a software or service like Crowdstrike worth the danger it poses in taking down swathes of our digital infrastructure? Security is never easy.

Being around MBS appears to have emboldened Trump to get out the bonesaw. Are we done with this idiot now? #ItHasHappenedHere #IsHeDeadYet www.npr.org/2025/11/20/n...

A perfect movie for our age. The main character is no hero, not even an anti-hero. He tragically exemplifies the average American male who thinks himself deprived of a familial loyalty he never earned and the victim of a meritocracy that he was too stupid to realize was, from the beginning, a scam.

It's pretty clear that LLMs will not lead to AGI a la @garymarcus.bsky.social. However, the bigger question is, could present neoliberal regimes respond to the dislocation of AGI given their animus to the welfare state? The answer is no, which is why we need #UBI, #MEDICARE4ALL, & #FREEEDUCATION.

Tramping through a convenient store dressed like he's on five-click hump into the bush and looking for VietCong activity. 🤡

This is the most hilarious thing I've read today--but it's only 10:44 AM. 🤣

While it would not surprise me if the #EpsteinFiles proved Trump's complicity and participation in child rape, my sense is that Trump fears more the underlying story of #RussianMoneyLaudering, largely orchestrated by Epstein for Trump's benefit. #ItHasHappenedHere

In a way only Trump could say, "It's not me, it's you." 🤣 #ItHasHappenedHere #IsHeDeadYet

Trump: #EpsteinFiles are a hoax, which is why I want DOJ to use them as the basis for a wide-ranging investigation of Bill Clinton, Larry Summers, et al. This guy clearly never thinks things through before saying them. #DonTheCon www.theguardian.com/us-news/live...

I liked that post. Why am I not suspended? #BlueskyDoubleStandard #SuspendMeNow!

I was reading this and thought, is this a description of a Black Mass or a trip down to Mar-A-Lago? #ItHasHappenedHere #IsHeDeadYet

1 Kings 3:16-28 tells of two women claiming a child as their own. Solomon orders the child be halved and one section given to each woman. The real mother begs that the child be given to the other. Thus Solomon learns the identity of the real mother. The Democratic #Shutdown deal was not this. 😒

I don't think we should be afraid yet. 🤣 Love the Rocky music. 😂 #TheAIGrift
