Satanic panic was a “moral panic” in the sense that innocuous things like comic books and rolling dice for fun (not even gambling) was mass-hallucinated to breach into a sort of gateway drug to terrible, but wholly imaginated things.

It’s really weird for some corners of the media to do a whole “the Epstein files are a moral panic that has gone too far” thing when no one has faced any sort of punishment and doesn’t sound like they’re going to.

Indeed, it has rapidly become obvious (proved by video interactions with ICE goons) that it’s not
“click; are you on file”
but
“click; you are on file”

Fucking mess.
NEW: Records reviewed by WIRED show DHS’s facial recognition app (Mobile Fortify) isn’t designed to actually "verify" identity—despite DHS claims and its agents relying on its matches to support probable cause in the field.
ICE and CBP’s Face-Recognition App Can’t Actually Verify Who People Are
ICE has used Mobile Fortify to identify immigrants and citizens alike over 100,000 times, by one estimate. It wasn't built to work like that—and only got approved after DHS abandoned its own privacy r...

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Seeing someone arguing against the idea that one shouldn't idolize creative people by pretending it's saying don't admire anyone.

If you have to alter the content of what someone said in order to disagree with them, you're not disagreeing with them, you're disagreeing with a strawman you built.

Good Morning Moonbase.

Today is the day we’ve all been waiting for. After 16 weeks of subpar cereals James finally gets to share HIS cereal with you all while he ranks his friend’s cereals with zero regard to their feelings.

Well… maybe some regards. He’s not a monster.

For those who don't know, Cajuns as an ethnicity, only exist because in 1755 the English entered Acadia in Nova Scotia and burned villages, destroyed property, and round up more than 80% of the local Acadians, forced them on boats, broke up families, and sent them out to sea.

Thousands died.

Soon enough, tech from the USA will be as much in demand as tech from Russia.

All tech can be duplicated ; but most of all tech must be reliable.

What if I told you that the possibility of peaceful resolution of fascist Republicans ceased being a possibility after January 6, 2021?

Violence will be applied or inflicted by or on you, no matter what you do.

There is no future where this madness goes away. Stop pretending like that’s a choice.

Remember ?

The 2010’s ?

When edgy comedians were whining about being “cancelled” and nobody was bothering to vote much ?

You could get games on disc.

Activism was a choice, a high road ; now it’s a survival tactic.

Politicians were walking on eggshells.

REMEMBER !?
Yeah, me too.

Once fascism takes hold, law exists to enforce that fascism and punish its opponents.

You can't peacefully overthrow a dictatorship.

So your choices are:

1) Submit to slavery.
2) Overthrow them.

Law, discourse and voting will not change this.

History tells us they are coming to kill you all.
