At first I thought the president was just a racist but you’re telling me he’s also inattentive to detail?!

how do Great Replacement types contend with the 2024 election... "Democrats have been importing millions of illegals and 3rd world asylum seekers into the country to vote for them but then fumbling it by putting those voters off with left-wing cultural positions and mismanaged middle eastern wars"?

This is the kind of gutter racist shit that you'd only see reposted by the worst white supremacists 10 years ago. Nobody with any meaningful power would have this associated with them. In 2026 the POTUS posts it. That's where we are. That said, it smells of desperation.

the final evolution was of course chatbots able to generate CSAM
Over the past two weeks I've begun to realize that rich people only started funding chatbots once they could no longer email Jeffrey Epstein

Zelig was a documentary
Epstein is like the evil Forrest Gump, somehow present and responsible for every terrible thing of the last twenty years.

wow -- with Trump standing behind him, a man (not sure who he is) offers this prayer: "We pray that he would be mindful of the poor and that he would be invested in the alleviation of suffering happening in the families preparing to bury their loved ones in Minneapolis."

I don’t know if Bezos is only now sincerely trying to return news to the yellow journalism era where plutocrats use it as a tool of influence and power or if he’s given up on/gotten bored of the attempt, but I think it’s naive to see these layoffs as a problem of media economics
Jeff Bezos’s wealth has increased an average of $70 million every day of 2026, meaning that he could have offset The Post’s losses with what he’s made since Monday.

Big Money Is Back - The American Prospect
The 2026 primaries will likely see even bigger levels of corporate and issue-based PAC spending. But there may be diminishing returns on these investments.

absolutely inside out logic. documenting masked agents of the state tear-gassing children and pulling people out of churches is a crime against their right to privacy and safety
The Department for Homeland Security says that filming amounts to a form of violence and is often a prelude to “doxxing”, the practice of publishing personal data about an individual without consent.
