That's not my real name. Surprise, I'm also not Obama wearing Eazy-E's Compton hat and Locs either.

If you're keen on city builders like Caesar 3 and Pharaoh, the recently released Farthest Frontier is _extremely_ good.

Kristi Noem, herself, supplied the method used to ID the agent. She said he "been dragged by a vehicle” in an earlier incident.
@startribune.com reporters, who know their way around court records, quickly unearthed his name and confirmed his identity.

Weird that there wasn't once a trending topic on bluesky about ICE shootings in the last few days.
I mean it isn't weird, I'm just saying it is out loud.

I wonder how much pressure ISPs could sustain if we started insisting they stop providing service for X.
I mean they can ban pornhub by the state. Literally, actually the exact same reasoning.
It's not like we couldn't do this.

banning X is a national security issue for every country, plain and simple
its explicit goal is to amplify and empower the largest Nazi-adjacent party in every country in which it operates
it is also the largest deepfake porn generator in the world
this is not a difficult call to make

Honestly at this point, seeing that is on you
And fwiw I'm not judging nor letting anyone off the hook, but I am pointing out it's a choice to go look at what the Nazi ai does when you absolutely do not have to.

Just seen Grok putting the body of the victim of the ICE shooting in Minneapolis into a bikini. Digital corpse desecration now available to the public.

When he finally fuckin dies is when we need to be louder than ever, because they're going to lay this all at his feet to avoid taking the blame.
Governors. Lawmakers. Judges. Pundits. News anchors.
From the moment they announce he's fuckin dead, they all need to have their feet held to the fire.

Once again, I posit that Erika Kirk has known Donald Trump for years longer than she knew Charlie Kirk. Erika is a former Miss USA pageant winner, from back when Trump owned it. That he would've met her is basically a given. My guess is she was recruited.
What are the odds, eh?

Man, as time goes on, "Bush and Cheney did 9/11" seems so much less wild and crazy a thing to say.
What's Dubya got to say about Trump? Oh that's right, jackshit like always.
This war today was going to happen with or without Trump, I am 100% positive.

Can't stress enough how lowest-common-denominator the practice of "look at these stupid people saying stupid things on the stupid platform we all agree only stupid people use" is exactly engagement farming.

It's funny to me that we've had more than twenty five years of Hollywood movies quietly predicting war with Venezuela over oil, and today liberal Democrats are falling over themselves to call it a distraction from the Epstein files.

Amazingly, reaction times using screens while driving are worse than being drunk or high—no wonder 90 percent of drivers hate using touchscreens in cars. Finally the auto industry is coming to its senses.
