So apparently I was right to shittalk m00t this week because it's been revealed that his boneheaded decision to establish /pol/ and subsequently ruin the website was allegedly born out of a one-on-one meeting with Jeffery Epstein.

This is like the news coverage they have in Robocop
They also compared Alex Pretti to the BTK murderer in this segment:
“Boy Scout, outdoorsman, right? You know who that is? A lot of people. The BTK killer, was all those things.”

I follow one podcast which used to be about niche conspiracy subcultures and another which used to be about birdbrained airport bookshop self-help books but due to the way things are these days, both of them are now Current Events podcasts while remaining true to their subject matter

Weirdly it will take a decade to sort this and yet criminalising the throwing of paint and micromanaging NHS toilets gets a next day response. What great priorities.

I'm sorry, but the reaction to Brianna Ghey being murdered by people she knew offline *because she was transgender* becoming 'we should stop teenagers from being on social media' rather than 'we should deal with the recent horrifying rise of transphobia in the UK' is unbelievably fucking bullshit.

Went to see LOTR: The Two Towers in the cinema and whenever Grima Wormtongue was on screen I couldn’t stop tittering as I thought about this tweet

Swear to God this country is falling apart. Just got a letter about the RSPB birdwatch dated days ago, and a letter from the bank dated 8 days ago along with another letter from the bank warning of consequences for ignoring the first letter: both arrived today at the same time

Good how the pre-cinema adverts are like “imagine having access to a gym you can afford. imagine having funding and space for your hobbies. Imagine getting to travel. Imagine having the opportunity to learn skills. Imagine having employment prospects. Sound good? Better join the military miladdo“

I laughed out loud when Pippin knocks the skeleton down the well accidentally and Gandalf’s response is straight up “Next time jump in yourself and save us all from your stupidity“ like damn bro ice cold 💀💀💀

My favourite observation on LOTR Fellowship rewatch is how you’ve got Gandalf, Demi-deity, mythical figure, sent from the heavens to beat Sauron, steadfast in the face of a demonic Balrog, utterly unable to keep his composure and avoid getting pissed off by Pippin Took’s clown behaviour

Trump sold the oil from a seized Venezuelan tanker for $500,000,000.. Where is the money? He deposited it in a bank in Qatar where Congress can't get to it.
He stole the oil from Venezuela, but he stole the money from America.
Why has Congress not impeached and imprisoned him for his crimes?

Are you telling me that “uhhhhh you only have to pay it back when you’re earning and you can abandon it when you get old anyway so who cares how high tuition fees get” is not a sustainable or ethical way to fund a higher education system ?????

This is like 90% a joke but also I’ve been scrolling that app like it was attached to my head for literally half of my life so I reckon it might take a morning or two.
