The American dream is greeting a stray cat outside of a diner with your good pal on a cold winter night, and then heading inside to warm up with a cup of coffee while you eat pie and catch up.

Interesting thread
Bellingcat’s contact email has always been a magnet for people with fairly unusual views; paranoid delusions, sprawling conspiracies, the works. But recently, the pattern has shifted, we’re seeing more and more emails clearly written with ChatGPT.

Old Soviet joke:

Why do ICE agents travel in groups of three?

One can read, one can write, and the third keeps an eye on the two intellectuals
New ICE recruiting methods have resulted in half of this group of absolute winners failing AN OPEN BOOK TEST

sorry everybody, this was my bad. last night I rewatched all the president's men with a Coors and some barbeque, then went to Redford's wiki and said out loud "wow, 89, good for him"

He cites an interview with a Nazi from a concentration camp in Krakow:
"So what about your ideal world, what was this dream you had of a world after the holocaust? Even if you had won the war you'd have a broken stressed nation to deal with after."
"After? The dream was doing it"

The KKK of the 1920s is probably the most American organization to have ever existed; a for-profit fraternal organization, a multi-level marketing scheme founded by a defrocked minister to piggyback off of a popular movie, eventually torn apart by internecine infighting and a national sex scandal.
TIL - one reason for the KKK’s explosive growth in the early 1920s was that it was a multi-level marketing organization

The good part of AI is that the only thing a writer can do to combat it is to become more human. Make your writing weirder, hornier, more violent, absurd, poetic, difficult, political, jagged, dreamlike, ironic, surreal, alive. You don't have any choice but to plumb the depths.

It’s really wild how there is no reason to deport anyone, let alone children and US citizens and LPRs and students and people undergoing cancer treatment etc. it’s all a fake solution to a made up problem enacted by violent racists who are stealing from you

As a good friend said today: they are at war with the entire post-WW2 world order because they are literally Nazis. Simple as!
people are expecting congress to swoop in and save the day, republicans defect, to vote down and retract the trump tariffs and i’m sorry but that’s just not happening. they are all in line and supportive of this

This argument would not be any different if the victim were a US citizen: sorry we "accidentally" disappeared a citizen, but he's a foreign policy matter now.

That is exactly the goal. They think they found an infinite gulag glitch that works on anyone, even citizens.
Despite admitting to having illegally sent a guy to El Salvador by mistake, and even though the U.S. is paying El Salvador to indefinitely imprison him, the DOJ is arguing that, well, nothing to do, it's not in our hands anymore. The general tone of their response is "welp, sucks to be him."

Under these rules it would be legitimate for Yemen to drone strike the CEO of Lockheed Martin in his pied-a-terre in Manhattan. How could we object? Collateral damage is now fine, proportionality is no longer required.
