Propaganda poster produced in Valencia by the socialist UGT bank workers during the Spanish Civil War "Hoarding money is a betrayal of the people". It's based as you'll see in the 2nd image on the poster for the classic 1931 Hollywood movie Frankenstein.

One of the themes of the last films was that he was a fucking fossil.

They should do one where he’s in the Epstein Files because he’s a lecherous creep.

Turns out, oops, James Bond was a bad guy all along.
James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”

Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:

“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes.

The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last.

The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes.

Why?

It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

You gotta actively suck at something before you master it, and this is pretty much the whole reason AI evangelists are so viscerally repellent.

They're the logical end result of totally refusing to do something they suck at, expensively.

January 2026 Headline: ICE defeated by ice.
Interesting point regarding Chicago winters. Are we gone see ice dressed up in polar camo snow suits trying to arrest people in a foot of snow? Will they have snow shoes or skis, like in a James Bond movie? Maybe snow mobiles like die hard 2? Fucking Ice jokers bused in from Florida have no idea.

bean mom just dropped
son brought home a pinto bean plant from school last spring. it yielded one (1) bean, which we planted. *that* plant yielded ... one (1) bean, which we have also planted. Five months of cultivation has yielded two beans. anyway, you were saying something about "grow your own food"

he's proposing giving people checks so they can buy bulk buckets of ivermectin or gym memberships or whatever. weed. you know, healthcare
His post from this morning (below) said he wanted people to buy their own “healthcare.” But his new use of the word policy above suggests he thinks people are going to buy insurance, right? I don’t feel equipped to understand what the fuck he’s even proposing.
“In other words, take from the BIG, BAD Insurance Companies, give it to the people, and terminate, per Dollar spent, the worst Healthcare anywhere in the World, ObamaCare.”

This is also how they talk about their opponents. It’s why they think the “Green New Deal” happened and police departments disappeared in major. They didn’t! But they talk like they did.
There's an interesting grammatical tense used only to talk about powerful, wealthy people, where they have simultaneously done the thing, are doing the thing, and will do the thing.

Totally divorced from the concept of linear time, the only important element is: important person and thing.

The ability to convince capital markets to hand you a trillion dollars on the strength of obvious bullshit paired with the inability to get a single human to sincerely and spontaneously say they love you is some real punishment of the gods shit.

OVER A MILLION USERS

DISCUSS SUICIDE WITH CHATGPT

EVERY *WEEK*

what the fuck are we DOING here
Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market.

This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.

What we need to do is build on these spectacles of discontent—to immediately start pressuring GOP electeds from local to federal offices. Make this fascist shit seem as dangerous to them as it really is. This means visibly taking up space & making demands. It means making things not work.
