Well that changes everything... oh wait no it doesn't. Tell us you're the Epstein List without telling us Mr. Allen.

So anyway, release the unredacted Epstein Files already.

Shout out to Nate Blouin for chastising the Utah GOP regarding their response to recent events on X.

You're going to hear a lot about gun control, universities being a ’breeding ground the violent left’, etc., in the days the come.

#utgop #charliekirk #guncontrol #2a #gop
Screenshot from Twitter proxy site lightbrd of Nate Blouin (@NateForUtah) reply to the Utah GOP Twitter account, with a quote of said tweet: Quote reply @NateForUtah: ”Despicable responses from the GOP in a fragile moment. Universities in Utah by order of the legislature are not allowed to regulate guns on campus. To make political allegations before any information is known suggests a deep desire to fan the flames rather than find solutions.” The quote from @UtahGOP: ”The attack on Charlie Kirk and free speech is evil, pure and simple. The hate, violence and evil being peddled by radical extremists has no place in this country! Schools and social media have become breeding grounds for liberal hate. Enough!” A picture is also included with the GOP post, with the text above, citing the chairman of the Utah Republican party Robert Axson as the source of their message.

At this point I’d settle for a sack of potatoes in the Oval Office. I never imagined I’d look back on the Bush years with even a flicker of nostalgia for the WMD charade and the grotesqueries that followed.

Are you daft? That’s hardly a problem under Newsom. He’s done more for LGBTQ and unhoused rights than you’re willing to credit him for.

From same-sex marriage in 2004 to billions in housing and trans protections as governor.

O God Most High,

Hark! They ne’er rebuke Trump’s lunacy, yet screech like banshees at Newsom’s parody. Grant me the power to drown these daft fuckers in sarcasm, and to preach Thy memes like a pissed prophet at last call.

For Christ’s sake,

Amen and amen.

Quote image share from Bob F. Monk’s latest piece “Wake up. Rise up, America.” on systemicunlearning.substack.com which reads: “Know which side you’re on, accept the flaws, recognize the sides are worlds apart – and hold your ground. Survival demands the release of thine pearls from thy clutches – the choice isn’t between perfect saints and villains, but between flawed allies and the arsonist who’s already torched your neighborhood and now stands in your living room with matches and gasoline.”

“Well now, I wouldn’t say that.”

I feel compelled to use the ol' uni degrees somewhere – and if that means philosophizing poetically on the Internet with Hemingway’s lemonade by night, well, here we are.
Don’t worry. I won't quit the day job.

I’m a Bob F. Monk, not sure if I'm 'the' one though.

Bwahaha they did, they really did. #eatabagofdicks #southpark
A real tweet from the verified Homeland Security (@DHSgov) account dated August 5, 2025, reading: “JOIN.ICE.GOV” with an image of South Park characters dressed as ICE agents, riding in a black ICE vehicle with tactical gear and sunglasses. The scene mimics a militarized police unit patrolling a city street. In response, the verified South Park account quote-tweets the post with: “Wait, so we ARE relevant? #eatabagofdicks” – highlighting the absurdity of a federal agency using an animated adult comedy series known for mocking authority to recruit for immigration enforcement.

#commonsense
Screenshot of a Substack post by Bob F. Monk from The Department of Systemic Unlearning, dated June 30, 2025. The post reads: "Sense is not so much common as commonly claimed, a flattering illusion in desperate circulation. 'Common sense' is the refuge of those too timid for reason and too tired for wonder – a social contract between fools to misunderstand the world in the same agreeable fashion. The Stoic learns to endure it; the wit learns to mock – and the wise do both." The page footer shows the URL: SUBSTACK.COM/@BOBFMONK.

6-14-25 ICE Demonstration: What an absolute madlad. This legend dances around ICE with the tear gas canister in his mouth and no PPE.

If MAGA could read they'd be so upset rn.

#maga #MAGAt #Palantir #trump #gunrights #theconstitution #secondamendment
A red-faced man in a MAGA hat yells into the camera, pointing aggressively. Text above reads: “A GUN REGISTRY IS AN ATTACK ON MY SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHTS.” Text below: “THAT’S WHY I SUPPORT TRUMP AND PALANTIR CREATING AN EVERYTHING REGISTRY.” The image satirically exposes the contradiction of supporting surveillance and data-mining corporations while opposing government gun control, highlighting ideological inconsistency within certain authoritarian-leaning pro-gun circles. The visual tone is intense and unfiltered – embodying blind rage packaged in patriotic cosplay.

Raw milk, flat Earth, rage against vitamin K.
Pasteur’s ghost is weeping.
Satire or reality? Hard to tell...
This is the darkest timeline...

I call Rage Against Vitamin K as a band name.

Quote card styled like a Substack post by “Bob F. Monk, The Department of Systemic Unlearning.” Text: “Satire or reality? You know, there’s probably people out there that do believe all that nonsense…” Block quote: This is the darkest timeline – where epistemic foundations have crumbled into recursive self-reference, metaphysical structure has dissolved into ontological vertigo, and affective resonance is governed entirely by algorithmic simulation. – Bob F. Monk A woman in plaid overalls smiles smugly while drinking from a large glass mug of raw milk. Overlaid text reads: “Propaganda I no longer fall for:” Each line of text is placed over different parts of her and the background, listing things she now believes are lies: Earth being a globe Dinosaurs Getting a degree Mammograms & Pap smears Feminism being the reason for my freedoms Giving newborns vitamin K NASA A translucent image of French scientist Louis Pasteur is superimposed over clouds and heavenly light, giving him a saintly or ghost-like appearance. Caption reads: “Louis Pasteur watching people raw dog their milk.” It's a reaction meme implying his horror from beyond the grave as people reject pasteurization Image of the “Most Interesting Man in the World” from the Dos Equis beer ad campaign. He’s dressed in a black suit, sitting at a table with a bottle and glass of milk. Top caption says: “I DON’T ALWAYS GET E-COLI GASTROENTERITIS, TUBERCULOSIS, OR TYPHOID” Bottom caption: “BUT WHEN I DO, IT’S FROM DRINKING UNPASTEURIZED MILK.”

Comic-style illustration of Sarah Connor from The Terminator, scowling intensely while smoking a cigarette. Her expression screams post-apocalyptic disappointment. Text at the top reads: "SARAH CONNOR WATCHING YOU USE AI FOR EVERYTHING". The judgment in her eyes is palpable – she knows how this ends.

#FDT
A colorful cartoon image of Sesame Street characters smiling together against a pastel sky background. In the center, a speech bubble reads: “The letters of the day are… FDT.” Surrounding the bubble are beloved characters like Big Bird, Elmo, Cookie Monster, Count von Count, Abby Cadabby, Snuffy, Grover, Bert, Ernie, and others. The image playfully uses the format of a classic Sesame Street educational moment to deliver the political message implied by the letters "FDT" (commonly interpreted as "F*** Donald Trump").

Only you can save the planet, act today! #collapse #climatecollapse #economiccollapse #eattherich
A vintage-style propaganda poster with a distressed, aged appearance features bold, capitalized text at the top reading 'SAVE THE EARTH' and at the bottom reading 'EAT A BILLIONAIRE TODAY!' with 'FALLOUT' in smaller text below. The central illustration depicts a character resembling Fallout's Vault Boy in a blue and yellow jumpsuit, wielding a pitchfork, facing off against a caricatured wealthy man in a tuxedo, top hat, and red bow tie, who is angrily raising his fist. The background includes a stylized cityscape with futuristic buildings and wind turbines, set against a red and white sunburst pattern. There is also a ferris wheel in the sky, with small aircraft flying nearby. The overall aesthetic mimics mid-20th-century propaganda posters with a dystopian twist.
