Celebrity encounter: I was pitching some crappy high concept comedy with Ben Stiller at Paramount, and for some reason did a Sean Connery impression. And then Sean Connery stepped into the room, said hello to the exec we were pitching, and left. Life is a strange tableau

R/worldnews is having a normal one over the UN Gaza genocide report

So, how are the “when do we flee” conversations going?

bluesky has once again taken down one of my posts for unacceptable content. No idea which one. They didn't say. But I'm outta here for an unknown interval. I'm sick of our ninny-ass culture of anonymous pearl-clutching

We're going to see a lot of this, and Democrats will do nothing to stop it

White man here. I insist everyone treat me like a tiny sparrow egg because I am frail and delicate. If you do not, I will unleash Bewegungskrieg upon you

I keep assembling posts about the current situation and deleting them. It’s preaching to the choir. If you’re reading me, you already know the situation

For context, the Nazis in Germany weren’t even this strident this early in the project. We are doing a speed run

If you still think the Democrats are going to save you,

Korea serving cunt by the barrow

It’s interesting in a “wow the stern just broke off” way to see the right go straight up insane. It’s going to suck a lot very soon, but I can’t claim I’m bored

Getting a lot of thirst trap accounts in my feed. UwU zaddy I need somebody to play with my hair Everybody go masturbate. I’m busy

Elon was always kinda of a tourist. He may be terminally online, but he is too socially inept to actually understand memes and their uses.

Make the distinction between corporatists and oligarchs, and the American binary makes perfect sense. Democrats are corporatists. They care about ‘big ——‘ (banks, pharma, insurance). Republicans are the oligarchy team. They Stan for wrecker billionaires. Thiel, Musk, etc. carving up the republic.

Those are rookie numbers

If you’re not paying attention to the mass deportations of immigrants and the assault on trans people happening now, please tune in. Next up will be socialists, then ‘leftists’ in general, citizens of color, queer folk, etc. then what? Unions? Non-Protestants? Democrats? You’re on a list somewhere.

Feels good man

If you’re outraged over anything the Trump junta, Republicans in general, Democrats, or the media are doing, you are wasting your precious energies. They’re going to do this same shit through the midterms, then do a variation on it, and so on forever.

In the last month I have missed out on so many political cartoon opportunities it’s absurd. At the same time, it’s all lipstick on a pig. There’s nothing to say but “what the genuine fuck” over and over

The big takeaway of this week has been realizing the media aren’t just bending the knee to right-wing extremism, but support it. That’s a major shift in my understanding. I figured they were basic quisling cowards; turns out they’re colluding. While this doesn’t change much, it’s sobering to see

This week was the end of an act. The curtain fell on a dramatic tableau of violence. Now there is busy, bustling noise behind the curtain. Next week it rises on scene one of a new act. It will be fascinating to learn what drama lies ahead

The Guardian is the only big paper left that I'll read. Which is why I read the article and assumed they'd done the homework. They had not done the homework. I hope they spell my name right when I'm on the list of people they rounded up

‘Apart’ and ‘a part’ are opposites.

This is extraordinary. He really says it. He hoped the shooter was ‘the other’, not ‘one of us’

I was an alienated young white man and I read theory and became an ultra-leftist. Engels, Marx, Zinn, Chomsky, Said, Grammsky, Orwell, etc. made me understand where my malaise came from. That my privilege was poisoning me. The pipeline to radicalism can be filled by anything, including good ideas

What the media needs to understand is this is the ideological leader of the Kirk shooter. This is groyper upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en...

I just saw “cannonizing Charlie Kirk” and have to admit I almost chuckled. But I didn’t because I am a man of taste and discretion. Instead I deplored that anyone co

@gronk, how am flee in dead of night?

The thing about Los Angeles is its intoxicating beauty. It shines with a holy light. It’s like a boundless elevator full of menudo farts

It’s clear that immigrants were the test subjects, trans people the bridge to citizens. American leftists are the next outgroup. Once we’ve been decimated, it will be Democrats, the media, whoever they choose. The only thing between us and erasure is the vast incompetence of the administration.

Well, word is the shooter is a hardcore leftist. So the pogroms are still on www.theguardian.com/us-news/live...

So the stuff on those bullet casings is basically 4chan meme runes; the shooter quotes an UwU copy pasta on the fatal round. The media has completely failed to grasp there’s an entire memetic, nihilistic, ironypilled universe of demons out there, and it just broke containment.

This is what a fully captured state police system does. Ideology drives its work, not information

This is how it goes. Democrats preserve tradition at all costs; Republicans blow it up when expedient. It will be interesting to learn the downstream effects of this particular case

Today has been fascinating. A bloodthirsty media troll has been elevated to national hero because he was shot in the manner he wanted leftists to die; meanwhile, Trump has obviously suffered a disfiguring stroke, and republicans are calling for the extermination of their opponents. Big times!

The tragic death of a malevolent right-wing agitator has drowned out the ’never forget’ rites of 9/11. I was driving my son to school that day. Went to my parent’s house instead because they had cable. Watched the second plane hit. It was the day the old America died. I’ll never forget.

It’s a good day if you like snotty, patronizing ‘murder is bad’ takes. How did we miss that?

They are saying it’s time to exterminate the left. Three options: hope they don’t; move well to the right; flee

If you’re surprised to see mainstream pundits lionize a hate-filled ghoul upon his demise, remember they are, in part, making sure they’re on Trump’s ‘acceptable’ list.

This rhetoric is going to get people killed www.thedailybeast.com/maga-declare...

I’m a novelist, and one of my projects requires someone bug out and disappear. It is now a hell of a lot harder than ever before. You have to go analog. You can’t have electronics. You can’t use cards or the internet. You can’t drive your car. Facial recognition is common.

Fellow radical leftists, as you know, the Constitution has been canceled. Trump is planning to round people up. Keep at least five hundred bucks and your passport on you at all times. Have a lawyer you can call. Be ready to ditch your phone and borrow a car. This is not a drill.

New purity test just dropped: I will not vote for Gavin Newsom under any circumstances because of this message.

This is why you shouldn't imagine being quiet and polite is going to keep you safe. They don't give a fuck.

To my point, but far more on-the-nose than I expected, they are now explicitly calling this the Reichstag Fire. That's supposed to be the quiet part

Well kids, shit is about to get hairy

Read this. I’m expecting a decree from Trump within 24 hours en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reichst...

The very first reaction to this event most left-oriented people on here are having is terror. “Don’t say anything inflammatory!” We all know damn well this is going to be the beginning of a thing we can’t escape. Say whatever you want. They’re going to round up anybody they please, regardless.

America thrives on violence, retribution, and death. I’m not glad there has been another shooting. I am not surprised, either. And I will not be surprised if this becomes the Reichstag Fire Trump needs to crush what dissent remains.

Charlie Kirk has been shot. I will not say anything tasteless but rather extend my thoughts and prayers to him. www.newsweek.com/charlie-kirk...
