Everyone’s a hero in their own way.

From Wikipedia:

In November 2024, following Donald Trump’s victory in the 2024 United States presidential election and Elon Musk’s nomination as a co-executive of the proposed Department of Government Efficiency, Bluesky experienced a surge in new user registrations as people migrated from other social platforms, particularly Twitter. Many came from the United States, United Kingdom (where Bluesky had previously seen growth during the 2024 UK riots following Musk’s commentary), and Canada. The social app added over 4 million registered users in that week, becoming the most popular app in the US App Store and Play Store.

Wow, I’m so glad this dipshit who’s never had to work a day in his life could give this paternal wisdom to the plebs who might need this medication to retain employment and not die destitute in the streets.

Who knew they just needed to be sent to a farm upstate so they could run free forever and ever?

I’m a man and I’d never date a Republican either.

A person’s politics are a reflection of their values: if they’re willing to identify themselves as someone who validates all that fascist shit, then I want nothing to do with them.

It’s crazy to me that this take is even remotely controversial.

Because they’re certain that the people getting punished are heretics to their reactionary ideology.

They see it as inferior people getting what they deserve, and since it’s privatized they imagine they’ll pay less for the privilege.

DeSantis briefly looked up from licking Trump’s shoes and said “I’m almost through the outer layer; he’s gonna hate that,” before returning to his distasteful task.

Next he plans on sending Trump a McChicken, because he doesn’t like those as much as the berders. That should send the message loud and clear!

Its very simple: Trump sells. He gets eyes on screens because he knows how to stroke off idiots by telling them what they want to believe.

DeSantis is a weird little goblin who mimics Trump’s “strategy” and works a crowd with the authenticity of Ted Cruz.

Bill Maher is a moron, I don’t understand how he is still on the air.

There is a huge audience for reactionary bullshit. I’m embarrassed to admit that it took me too long to realize that’s what he sells, but when half of every show was whining about trans people it got super obvious.

You mean the same group who refused to convict for the most obviously impeachable offense in the history of the entire world?

I like the BITE model of cults: an organization that engages in Behavior, Information, Thought, and Emotional Control.

So yes, it is an intrinsic part of a cult.

They’re reactionary nationalists; I think they understand their religion just fine.

That’s kind of the whole problem with basing one’s worldview on magical thinking though: when you have to interpret moral instructions, its only as good as the lens you use. In this case, their religion is filtered through fear, bigotry, and power politics.

I have much more respect for Christians who use humanism as their lens, but they’re also picking and choosing what they want to from the Bible Buffet.

I hope it lasts even after the docs are published.

Dubai port operator DP World wound up with majority control of the startup, and pivoted its focus to cargo in early 2022, cutting half the staff at the time and dropping the Virgin moniker.

It makes sense that they’d drop the name Virgin after DP world took over.

Yeah, it’s not an inherently bad thing.

A big part of the problem is that people run to journals without understanding their purpose; publication is just the first step in peer review.

And then when people do a ctrl+f to search for a “gotcha,” they also eliminate all of the nuance and caveats that really explain the potential finding.

Dude might just be a parrot.

Remember that time they put a mirror on his desk so that he’d peck at that instead of interrupting a hearing by landing on the chairman’s head?

They’ve admitted time and time again that they want fewer people voting because that helps their chances.

Additionally, they know the demographics that are least likely to vote for them so they target their opposition based on race and geography.

Same as it ever was.

"I don’t want everybody to vote,” the influential conservative activist Paul Weyrich told a gathering of evangelical leaders in 1980. “As a matter of fact, our leverage in the elections quite candidly goes up as the voting populace goes down.”

Turns out that Epstein brokered crimes for a lot of people whose names were solid black lines. It must be more common moniker than I thought.

So say we all
