Very proud of myself that I still have no idea what this is
Remember watching Silver Linings Playbook where you learn a four-leg parlay is language exclusive to compulsive gambling addicts? And now it's just sold every 90 seconds on network television as the new national pastime?

America is a fascist state, and its media is part of the apparatus. The media isn’t broken. It’s working as designed.
The way these two killings have been handled--who got the immediate NYT editorial piece, who had to wait a week; who got a moment of silence; whose death was "mourned" vs. just an abstract symbol of generic violence--is deafening in what it is yelling at us about how broken our media is.

TIL: When the Original Star Wars Trilogy finally aired on Chilean TV in 2003, the network spliced custom beer commercials into the films themselves to avoid cutting to commercial breaks.
these additional scenes turn Obi-Wan & Luke into raging space alcoholics who are constantly shotgunning booze.

I keep my head down and turn out good work and I just barely made rent this month, but a lady calls a kid the n-word at a playground and she raises a half-million dollars in a week. I don't get the world, and I don't like it. We are surrounded by rotten dogshit assholes and they're thriving.

So much for American exceptionalism
I've spent years reporting on how democracies die. And I've noticed something: by international standards, Donald Trump is really, really bad at destroying a democracy.
And that should give us real reason for hope. www.vox.com/politics/410...

Trump is losing his war on democracy
Trump’s power grabs are dangerous. But he’s going about them all wrong — and facing effective resistance as a result.

The Department of Defense deemed a story about baseball hero and civil rights leader Jackie Robinson's time in the Army as "DEI" and deleted it.

Up there lecturing. Man your country is threatening to annex mine. Your problems are so much larger
If we enter a shutdown, Congressional Republicans would weaponize their majorities to cherry-pick which parts of government to reopen.

It just occurred to me that Americans have no idea how violent an attempted takeover of Canada will be. It will make Iraq and Afghanistan look like a Sunday picnic

Instead of cowering to the GOP’s autocrat like many of his colleagues, Rep. Massie of Kentucky stands as an example for Republicans: respond to the president’s threats with humor and a smile.

What does “not *technically* a Nazi even mean”?
“Well actually unless he filled out a membership form and paid the initiation fee to the NSDAP, he’s not a real Nazi, he’s just a sparkling fascist”
“Well actually unless he filled out a membership form and paid the initiation fee to the NSDAP, he’s not a real Nazi, he’s just a sparkling fascist”
Bizarre that someone who admits Elon holds far-right beliefs, openly courts Nazis and deliberately did the salute still insists that he's not *technically* a Nazi. What does the distinction even mean at this point?
“Bottom line: Elon is not a Nazi but he did give two Nazi salutes… to appeal to the far-right wing of MAGA, to undermine Bannon.”

I’ll add to this. If you start quoting them into my timeline you’ll find yourself blocked too. I’m here because they’re not.
So with Elmo banning the MAGAts left and right, they should soon be coming over here in waves. Remember that we do things differently here.
Block them. Do not engage them.
Once they find they don't exist here they'll go somewhere else. They might even go to "Truth Social"
