Who remembers Intel caving to Gamergaters over ads on Kotaku? Apparently none of the people in a position to do anything about it 🫠

Eagerly awaiting the spin from plan trusters about how the Comey and James dismissals prove that patriots are in control

Omg MTG just now: “Executive orders are temporary, Q memes have not obliterated the deep state” 🤭 QAnoners (e.g., Jordan Sather) were coping over the weekend about her “there is no plan to save the world” line, btw. Also, MTG sucks and in a just world would be shunned from public life hereafter

A movie that takes place where you’re from Obvs there’s, like, every Stephen King movie, but Cider House Rules has a scene shot on Sand Beach in Acadia. I remember when the filming happened; it was a HUGE deal on MDI lol

Fascinating short piece from 1942 about Howard Scott and the technocracy movement, and how it was an on ramp to fascism that appealed directly to "the middle class." Fun fact: Joshua Haldeman backed the movement in Canada in the late 30s/early 40s. Haldeman is Elon Musk's maternal grandfather

Anyone else remember when Hamburger Helper released a mixtape (and the beats were actually good)?

We've got our follow-up on our deep dive into Rumble, this time looking at the coordinated networks of scammers targeting fans of the platform's top creators with impersonation scams. The scale of these efforts is really insane to wrap your head around. openmeasures.io/dan-bongino-...

Israel cannot break ceasefires, they can only “test“ them by killing dozens of people

I went to see my PCP this morning (he’s from Texas, the only non-MAGA guy in his family). Said that by far his biggest/immediate worry from a professional standpoint is the damage RFK Jr. will cause

This outstanding essay by @itsmccarthy.bsky.social in Hammer and Hope captures a frustration that I have long felt with a certain strand of left opinion-makers. hammerandhope.org/article/iden...

NEW: ICE has finally released post-shutdown detention data. The latest data reveals that a full 40%(!) of people arrested in the interior and held in ICE detention have no criminal record; no criminal charges or prior convictions. That is up from just 4% when Trump took office.

THE ASHES ARE HERE!!! Um, chat, is 172 all out good for an innings? 🙃

Wow, Cory Mills, what a POS

Why do these guys always tell on themselves? Richard Hanania has today written a Substack about how the “pedophile hysteria” over Epstein will ultimately end up stigmatizing age gap relationships… and this somehow endangers the U.S. birth rate
