Who'd have thought people who have unethically vast amounts of wealth are horrible people and Who'd have thought the control of economic power and vast amounts of wealth would lead to people manipulating the system, man its as if people kept saying this is exactly what happens

TIL that the first withdrawl from Bear Sterns that set off a chain of events culminating in the morgatage crisis of 2008 and the Great Recession was done by Jeffrey Epstein. I want to get off Mr. Bones Wild Ride.

I know this is going to sound like the ravings of a conspiracist but the Epstein network of global elites isn't *just* about sex trafficking minors (as already terrible as that is) but also reveals how this network engineered "managed collapse" for their own benefit.

My name's not Shane, kid!

“Epstein plausibly responsible for /pol” is too much for me

what do you mean he was plausibly the guy behind /pol/ coming back. what do you mean he was in with the unite the right guys. what do you mean he was partying with woody allen and harvey weinstein and elon was sad to miss it

TIL Groverhaus was actually built in 1770.

Damm, wish I could call Omar my representative

Guys maybe the number one obstacle to organizing here in Minneapolis is the unfounded fear that if you get involved, DHS will put you on a list and assassinate you. It leads people to avoid organizing or act in ways that are completely detrimental to organizing. Please please do not spread that fear

So many wipeouts today driving around. Stay safe out there

Two minute hate

How does one even quantify the delayed and stochiastic impacts of climate change? What even qualifies as midnight? A tipping point? We've blown past those. "AI" is even more nebulous since there isn't ever going to be Skynet. The threat of AI is rather erasure of human creativity.

Why do we even cover WH press conferences. They're nothing but a theatre of lies with an audience of "journalists" who care more about access than asking meaningful follow-ups.

Our strength comes from love. Love of ourselves. Love of our friends. Love of our communities. They are driven by hatred. Love will prevail

These dipshits literally never comprehended the ability to put your own life on the line for something you believe in. Absolute fucking losers.

People need to realize the problem isn't just ICE. It's the entire DHS. The department should have never been formed much less given so much power. Another kneejerk reaction to 9/11 we're cursed to deal with 25 years later. DHS needs to be dissolved and its agencies returned.

Contrary to what that CBP asshole said, your constitutional rights to speech, assembly, and yes bearing arms is not conditional on if a federal agent feels "threatened" or whatever they're now saying as justification.

Regarding DHS comments: You are supposed to *imply* that people lose constitutional rights when around cops. You aren't supposed to actually say that out loud.

The man was on the ground being beaten by a gang of ICE thugs. In what situation could an ICE agent possibly think he was in danger there? That was state-sanctioned public execution in front of a fucking donut shop

Meet Ulysses Blackwood, gray wolf. The scar on his snout came from a fight in a New Lancaster bar when he was 18, entirely his fault. I swear though he's still a good pupper!

In my furry world, while there are non-sapient versions of anthro species, most of the protein requirements for carnivores is met with farmed insects.

Would love for someone to tell me the difference between what ICE is doing right now in the Twin Cities and what ISIS did in Mosul. Terrorizing the locals, check. Random kidnappings, check. Killing protestors, check. Only thing I can think of is we haven't made it to mass killings, yet.

She would make for a great John Waters protagonist.

In my furry world, nuclear power has largely displaced fossil fuels. This includes nuclear power plants, of course, but also nuclear-powered planes, trains, and automobiles.

I swear, maybe it's because I grew up gay in rural Alabama where I wouldn't have survived if I had succumed to Leftist defeatism but seriously, some of y'all need to take a deep breath. As horrific as this world is, they will not win.

In my anthro world, it was an ancient virus 150,000 years ago that turned some animal populations into anthros with two legs and intelligence. This was the Anthromorphic Event and is a topic of much scientific and religious discourse in the world.

I love paying more for groceries. I love it so much I literally ask the cashier at Walmart if I can pay more!

He gets a gold-plated ballroom, we get a depression meal

Can we all agree at least that Trump isn't really the president. He's a half-aware figurehead for president Steven Miller.

Outside of Fallout (which is obvious), is there any other good media out there that can be called atompunk? I love that aesthetic and the themes but it's such a barren sub-genre.

Today's aesthetic: fic that spends several thousand words establishing Kink World, the world structured entirely around the author's excruciatingly specific kink, does one sex scene in like chapter two, then spends the next thirty chapters interrogating the sociopolitical implications of Kink World.

the question to ask about this is, okay, he wants to cancel the midterms. how does he get the VA state board of elections to cancel the midterms? how does he get the georgia board of elections to do it? how does he convince republican house members to quit their jobs and give up their paychecks?

The Nobel Committee lost whatever shred of worth the peace prize had when they awarded Henry Kissinger with it.

I'm still alive! I hope to post more here as I get back into writing.

I'm alive lol. Just been dealing with a return of my anxiety disorder these past couple of months.

It's kinda of fitting that Charlie Kirk was killed over something as dumb as a groyper feud

Going to be serious for a second. I know it's a dumb meme but seriously go outside and touch grass. Go to a Cafe, a neighborhood coffeehouse if you got one, or a park and just sit. See the people around you. Feel the wind against your face, the sun against your skin. You are part of a greater whole.

We truly live in a Kafkaesque nightmare.

It truly is a wonderful thing [sarcasm] to have a group of young white men subscribe to the tenants of nihilism as described by the German nihilists in the Big Lebowski.

jesus christ, some of you really fucking suck at information warfare yes, his politics were almost certainly turbo online and completely incoherent. but he's clearly not on the left, and so you can actually punch back now at the narrative the GOP has been pushing for the last 36hr

Any criticism of Patel and Bongino’s failure to solve crimes must also acknowledge past FBI director Chris Wray’s failure to podcast and sell supplements.

10/10 old-fashioned at the Old Goat here. Damn good

Just made the horrific realization that since it's been online, LLMs have scraped Time Cube into their models

Resisting the urge to flee into the Alaskan wilderness and go off the grid

Trump's in a perfect catch-22. He can't hide from the cameras or people think he died. He can't appear in camera because people then think he's in the process of dying. I don't know guys but maybe he's not doing so well

www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-... I too angrily post in all-caps that I'm completely healthy. This is a completely normal thing for a near-octogeneraian to post.

Regardless of the current rumor, it's pretty obvious his health has deteriorated considerably since the election. There's not a chance in hell Vance would have been allowed to say he's ready to assume the presidency unless real discussions regarding Trump's health haven't been had by his staff.
