Peter Thiel has been open about this for a long time. Trump is a way to break the republic, which can then be replaced by “free economic zones” with oligarchs as dictators and tech as a taskmaster for helpless humans without any rights. (1/2)

![Title: "Unprepared for a Regrettable Luncheon! (With apologies to Kelly)"
In the visual style of famed The Onion cartoonist Stan Kelly, Superintendent Chalmers is having lunch with Principal Skinner, who is menacingly placing a tray of hamburgers and fries upon the table, which greatly upsets Chalmers. Beneath one of the hamburgers is a wrapper bearing the text "Obviously grilled fast food".
Chalmers [labelled as "Disappointed guests"]: "B-but... I thought we were having steamed CLAMS!!"
Skinner [labelled as "Isometric exercising* odd fellows" - the asterisk refers to a footnote reading "Latest fad"]: "Oh, no, I made STEAMED HAMS™®! ©1996 Skinner family All rights reserved"
From within the clouds of smoke billowing from Skinner's kitchen (wherein an American flag can be seen burning) three heavenly beings gaze upon the scene disapprovingly: A pig labelled "Actual hams", Krusty the clown, labelled "Hard-working patent-holders", and a teenaged fry-cook labelled "Ignored sandwich artists".
Lady Liberty peeks in the door and sheds a sad tear at this woeful scene.
Kelly's obligatory artist cameo has him disgruntledly commenting "Seymour-a bore-e-malice."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:h7rietqq6qdljhsjq242kcr7/bafkreigkqxu2qfnyp3vlqgx77zrsyz5jjhxp7ret23emknwqovh5gjovzy@jpeg)

500 years of Frasier repeats on C4 and only just noticed that the delivery man who brings in Martin's chair in the first episode is the same guy who takes it away in the finale.

I think it's best for everyone to understand that the unified class project of billionaires right now is to do to white collar workers what globalization and neoliberalism did to blue collar workers.

The big tech founder whose 417-foot, $500 million superyacht needs a 256-foot, $75 million superyacht to "shadow" it -- because the bigger yacht lacks a helipad -- had to cut his paper's newsroom almost in half, for reasons
NEWS: The cuts were so severe that at least one department head asked to leave The Post rather than be included in the planning.
Peter Finn, The Post's international editor, requested that he be laid off once he learned about the scope of the cuts to his section.

A lot of people choosing to reveal they think breaking, or falling short of, immigration law, or looking like the type of person that might, is worse than killing people, traumatising children, leaving people without care, or terrorising cities. A lot of people choosing to show who they really are

On a train in Germany, operated by National Express, a bus company from abroad, because the EU considers it an affront for a nation’s railway operator to operate its nation’s railway. There are 6 toilets and all are out of order.

At this point players' unions should be pushing to outlaw obligations to buy based on no. of games played in loan deals.
Harvey Elliott expected to stay at #AVFC for the remainder of the campaign after failing to find an agreement on a return to Liverpool. Villa sources say no progress or recent discussions on the removal of the 10-game obligation.

In the last election I filled the same friend in on Luke Akehurst, including the publicly available Zoom meeting where Akehurst (not Jewish) claims Jewish people who aren't Zionist aren't actually Jewish, they just like chicken soup, and he said "that can't be right, it would be all over the news."

There are obviously worse things in the world but 15 minute city conspiracies cause more despair than anything. It’s so stupid and destructive.
The only saving grace is the dark humour in people who think they see through what we sheeple can’t, being gullible useful idiots for the motoring lobby
