I'm sorry but #StarfleetAcademy looks so incredibly bad. CW teen drama bad.

David Brooks, who wrote in the NYT last month, "The Epstein Story? Count Me Out" is... in the latest Epstein photo dump published by @oversightdemocrats.house.gov.
He should absolutely be fired by NYT for this. Major conflict of interest that he didn't disclose.

The Vanity Fair piece on Susie Wiles & Trump's inner circle is seriously well done but, by god, terrifying. Trump has literally surrounded himself with the dumbest people in politics. Why? Because they are "disruptors." Wiles has zero control over Trump's excesses & just shrugs off his insanity.

Just over 6,000 slop accounts blocked in my list now. I'm also including the rare spammer that uses AI hashtags for attention as an extra perk.
I'm still adding to this every day, just part of my morning ritual looking up a few lists and adding offenders to this.

This is so utterly embarrassing for the FBI. Glasheen has 24 years of experience in anti-terrorism and he'd rather get up there and defend this administration's nonsense than resign.
GLASHEEN: Antifa is our primary concern right now. That's the most immediate violent threat we're facing
BENNIE THOMPSON: Where is antifa headquartered?
GLASHEEN: ... ... ... we are building out the infrastructure right now

In my teens, I was a fan of Clancy novels (especially Rainbow Six). I started browsing military fiction selection out there & I am noticing themes:
🪖 MC is always bad ass white guy with beard who fought in WoT
🪖 Islamaphobia
🪖 Left wing gov't betrayal (but right wing is always good)
🪖 Gun fetishism

Will Arnett was on Conan and told a story about how Conan dealt with the death of his parents by accusing Jason Bateman of killing them. It’s so funny.

What a "punch" of nostalgia. The year was 1991. Every boy was having a TMNT birthday party. These bad boys were on ice next to the pizza & sewer cover themed round cake. Some sweaty 20 year old dude was in a Michelangelo costume dancing to Vanilla Ice & we were all ninja fighting. Life was good. 🐢

Good on Penn Jillette. Having to come to terms with your entire political identity and philosophy being wrong is not easy and most people could never do it.

Simone Veil was the first female President of the European Parliament. She also survived Auschwitz.
The EU was created in by people who lived through WWII and saw political and economic integration as a means to bringing peace and stability to the continent.
It is being opposed by Putin, Musk and the others who support Neo Nazis in Europe.

I'd like to add to this: Don't shop at their stores (Home Depot). Don't watch their entertainment (WWE). Don't fly their fighter jets (Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet).
Stop appearing on far-right propaganda networks. Stop posting on their trash sites. Stop sitting on panels with them. Stop being friends with them. Don't shake their hands. Don't try to meet them halfway. Don't gotta hand it to them. Ever. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
