Books and music are my jam.
Task & Purpose, now Cappy Army, is an expressly non-political channel focused on military and geopolitics. In all the many years watching, I’ve never seen them dip a toe into anything like Epstein.

1/2 Capital, in Arendt’s framework, is insecure, so protecting it demands acquiring more, which demands more power, which enables more acquisition. This self-feeding cycle hits the walls of the nation-state and overflows into imperialism, dragging political power abroad to protect investments.
1/3 What Musk is really referring to here is, of course “race” - that construct that served to define the hierarchies of wealth & power structured by modern colonialism. Like other far right racists though, he uses the word “culture” as a seemingly less pernicious synonym.

Whatever is in Stephen Millers closet is worse. It’s some Lavrentiy Beria shit.

Star Trek is like, "Look at this entirely new exotic species we just encountered that is from across the universe. Look at how different and unique they are. You can tell they are not human because they have 3 ridges on their nose. Also—because you were wondering, yes we can have sex with them."

AI’s source material is 2026, so that’s pretty bleak.

Pedofascism.

That’s what we’re living through.

I so wonder what Carney said to Trump on that Gordie Howe Bridge call.

"No, Mr. President. Bridges go over water. Yes I'll bring you a new choo choo next time I come."

Using your children as moral cover during an investigation into child trafficking is, like all other things, fucking insane.
VAN HOLLEN: Did you in fact make the visit to Epstein's private island?

LUTNICK: I did have lunch w/ him as I was on a boat going across on a family vacation. My wife was with me as were my 4 children and nannies. We had lunch on the island. That's true. For an hour. We left with all of my children

I feel like the window is closing on him. I think they’re gonna stop the pharmacological Weekend at Bernie’s regimen before the midterms, jettison everyone implicated, and try to start fresh with Vance. Vance, without the files over his head, will pickup the imperial techno-feudalism torch.

I stand by my theory that Buckingham knew exactly when to jettison Andrew. They knew what was in the files because most European intelligence agencies know what’s in the files. Europe was playing nice, but Trump fucked that up, so now they’re opening investigations into what they already know.

Canada opened a consulate in Greenland the other day so Canada is back at the top of the shit list. But any distance dude puts between an entire nation and the Pedophile Empire is a great day for that nation.
Trump’s latest unhinged ranting threatens to block a bridge to Canada unless they pay up — because he’s mad they’re getting closer with China (after he left them no choice)

Yet another economic own goal. 🇺🇸

I don’t know a lot about television and stuff, but presumably you have to plan ahead to censor out boos, which means you were expecting them.

Bigotry has no bottom because self-hatred has no bottom. That’s why it must be challenged at every instance.

I maintain all the intelligence agencies already have the full scope of the crimes and have been 🤮 playing nice with American power.

Nolan could make a movie about a psychotic trillionaire pedophile who splits open a trans-dimensional portal so he can stick his own head up his own asshole, and win like 12 Oscars.

Note: An earlier version of this post included a quote from an NFL player about Bad Bunny that incorrectly implied Puerto Rico was not part of the United States. Bad Bunny is an American citizen. We deleted the earlier post.

The year is 2033. At a Red Cross camp somewhere outside of Lubbock, Texas, a comedian starts his set, “Where are all my MAGAs at?” One man laughs.

Moments later, a single shot rings out.

I remember when the scandal was like “did Russian hookers piss on him,” which evolved to “did he fuck children,” which is now pretty close to “did he rape, torture, and kill a child,” which presumably is going to eventually be something like “how many children did he rape, torture and murder?”

The most powerful nation in history is currently captured by Russia and Israel, Christian nationalists and white supremacists, the billionaire class and an international network of child rapists. The entire operation is protected by a handful of judges and politicians.

Russia’s doing it to crush America. The Heritage Foundation is doing it to reform America in their image. The billionaires are doing it to protect themselves from their rapist past. Trump is doing it to pillage a nation. The electorate is doing it because they hate themselves who they are deeply.

Apparently the true promise of success in a capitalist nation is to be invited into the child rape club.
