Really love how this guy posted this on TikTok thinking the woman who broke his Meta glasses would come off as the villain, as opposed to him, the guy recording her without her consent for social media content via a surveillance device made by one of the worst companies on earth
Woman Hailed as Hero for Smashing Man's Meta Smart Glasses on Subway
A New York subway rider has accused a woman of breaking his Meta smart glasses. She was later hailed as a hero.

Schmitt’s argument is unintentionally revealing.
The “color revolutions” were non-violent, pro-democracy political movements aimed at ending autocratic regimes in former Soviet bloc nations.
If the Democrats are leading a “color revolution,” then Trump is an autocrat & Schmitt is pro-autocrat.

My bet: Southcom officers were shocked by the wr crime orders they were given. They contacted key oversight congressmen they trust - mostly vets. That triggered reporters started sniffing and the Dems making their "unlawful orders" PSA. These things all got rolling from desperate officers.

I have a theory, not supported by anything except a surmise from history, that these strikes were intended to provoke Venezuela to take some sort of retaliatory action vs the U.S. thus giving Trump his exciting "little war" to revitalize his ratings.

This is so true. I drink but rarely and I usually prefer to stay sober in my usual social settings.
It's weird to be questioned about it. Like, what's next? "Hey I see you drinking beer, too much of a light weight to have a REAL drink with whiskey in it? Hmmm?"

Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays:
Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink.
If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business.
Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

I did not realize that NVIDIA is just Countrywide Mortgage, revamped.
NVIDIA earnings were a mirage. The market figured it out surprisingly fast. NVIDIA bump evaporated.
I don’t know how this information can enter the system without exploding the bubble.
But sometimes bezzles visible for months before crash.

Asawin has gone off the deep end, obviously. We should throw a net over him. Geez.
I know I’m a libtard but I think it’s bad the U.S. president keeps calling for the killing of specific sitting elected officials who didn’t even commit crimes

A major national security threat in the form of [checks notes] an elderly retired optician has been taken into custody.
79-year-old Paul Bojerski was born to Polish parents in a WWII German refugee camp. His family legally emigrated to the U.S. when he was 5.
He’s been taken by ICE in Florida.

Re: Epstein’s emails
But if look up "illrgal immigrant" in the MAGA dictionary, you'll see it means "brown people" and "Americans" means "white people, then it makes perfect, if evil, sense...
This is both comically ignorant economically and, on the immigrant count, empirically wrong by a factor of 2-3.
JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."

An interesting tidbit in the joint status report filed in the Broadview ICE facility case today:
ICE says video from inside the facility "between October 19, 2025, and October 31, 2025, has been irretrievably destroyed" and can't be produced in discovery.

You cannot separate the current nightmare we now inhabit from the collapse/crisis in how rich, powerful middle-aged men perceive masculinity, especially their own insecurities.
I’m sorry, but a goofy looking guy who grew up a privileged son of a pediatrician and has a phd in social theory from the university of Goethe and started in tech by investing an inheritance left to him by his grandfather talking about being a “dude” is very, very funny to me.

My 3yo was listening to Ross Douthat's podcast when he turned to me, gravely, and asked: "Daddy, did liberal feminist women ruin the workplace?" And when I told him, "it's debatable, but they certainly don't seem to be reading Rod Dreher's Substack," he started crying.
