Anarchist "exuberant." Really into exploring the roots of things and expanding degrees of freedom. Incurable woke moralist. Floating metal sphere. “Radically uncool.”

Hey, I wrote a book.

Did The Science Wars Take Place?

Covers the history and philosophy of a fight in the 80s & 90s between some postmodernists and scientists, with an eye to anarchist interests and lasting political influences among the far-right.

It's fascinating to see a member of Congress writing to one of their billionaire donors as if they were an employee reporting to a manager.

this is a comically textbook example of how totalitarians think - the masses are mere clay, mindless; might makes right; the world is run via conspiracy and endless propaganda.

According to multiple NYT sources, it wasn’t even military personnel at Fort Bliss that fired an anti-drone laser at alleged cartel drones. It was CBP who used the weapon on loan from DoD against a child’s party balloon they mistook for a drone. The Pentagon gave CBP an anti-aircraft weapon.

Rockwell would have painted this.
Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones.

Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.

This is not, in the patriarch's view, hypocritical at all.

To them, women and children are property and a man is entitled to do as he wishes with his own property, including destroy it.
You can’t have an abortion but you can kill your grown daughter if she disagrees with you
A MAGA freak in Texas murdered his own daughter in cold blood after they had an argument about Trump.

A grand jury in the Dallas area then *declined to indict him*, and he has not yet faced charges.

Seems like many Texans believe a man has the right to kill his own child for disobedience.

A Reuters photographer captured this image of a page from Pam Bondi's "burn book," which she used to counter any questions from Democratic lawmakers during an unhinged hearing today.

It looks like the DOJ monitored members of Congress’s searches of the unredacted Epstein files.

Just wow.

Kind of weird as well that he is so familiar with the fiction written by obscure Neo-Nazi Harold Covington, who, as you can see, isn't exactly well known even in white nationalist circles.

The guy certainly has a thing for obscure anti-semites. I wonder why that is...

OpenAI fired one of its top safety execs, on the grounds of sexual discrimination, after she voiced opposition to the controversial rollout of AI erotica in its ChatGPT product.

OpenAI told her the term was related to her sexual discrimination against a male colleague.

Invoking wealthy class solidarity to excuse sex crimes against children is sorta the Epstein Class in a nutshell
Bondi crashes out over Epstein: "The Dow is over 50,000 dollars! I don't know why you're laughing. You're a great stock trader as I hear, Raskin. The Dow is over 50,000 right now. The S&P at almost 7,000, and the Nasdaq smashing records. That's what we should be talking about."

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

The attempt at deflection is disgusting.
“Artsakh anyone??? Please??? Look over there!! Please??”
I'm tired of people lying about a Genocide that didn't happen in Gaza.

I'm tired of people ignoring other Genocides that ACTUALLY HAPPENED in other parts of the world. (Artsakh anyone??)

I'm tired of posters, particularly on this website, attacking Jews just because they're Jews.

This is obviously and trivially true to anyone with any experience or broader awareness of the Left, and yet bluesky is filled with babies allergic to Three Way Fight analysis who will deny deny deny, reject examples as "irrelevant" and scream that any critique of the Left is betraying the team.

As a child I was constantly annoyed at my dad's inability to tolerate crowds and most socializing, even just five other people on the same city block could make him freeze up and twitch. Only very recently did I finally recognize he was having autistic breakdowns and it changes my attitude entirely.

A universal tale. Doesn’t matter the city, county, or state.
“The Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office said it was not involved in Thursday’s arrests, nor in a similar incident at the building last week.”

Sheriffs were literally on scene pushing people out of the way to let these goons rush this kid outside. Just own your decision to collaborate.

One of every thousand American residents has been taken into custody by ICE in the last year.
A stunning detail the ICE chief shared in this hearing that was supposed to be a brag, except it isn't: ICE has arrested 379,000 people between Jan. 2025-Jan. 2026 -- but only 8,700 were suspected gang members or known suspected terrorists.
