If hypocrisy were carbon monoxide, every one of these people would have kicked the proverbial bucket long ago.

As I said over on Bluesky, I don't believe in karma or any form of cosmic justice, but sometimes people do reap what they sow.

Um...

I'm sorry you had to see that. After long ago seeing the horrible video-footage of the on-camera suicide of PA politician R. Bud Dwyer from 1987, I'm slightly desensitized to this sort of thing. Even so, I don't normally seek out footage of people getting shot, or beaten. In this case, when...

Of course we're going to have to live with this, just as we're going to have to live with everything else the regime has done and will do. However (and this was my sarcastic point), the pattern up until now is to send the guard into democratic strongholds using crime as an excuse. He was...

They certainly are frothing at the mouth over this. Also, I wonder how quickly Trump will send conscripted National Guard units to Utah? /s

This right here. The regime will absolutely manufacture him into a martyr.

Would you call yourself a pacifist?

That's an insult to snakes.

I didn't even bother with Threads. After disassociating myself from Facebook and only rarely interacting with Instagram, I wasn't about to tack on another Meta project. As for talking about non-political topics on Bluesky, I've curated a series of lists that helps with that.

As a Bluesky user, I agree that the platform is too much of an echo-chamber, and definitely needs some good-faith disagreement. And you can only get that when you are tolerant of honest, well intentioned debate, and can refrain from kneejerk account bans.

Right? Also, all of this manufacturing consent bullshit about Iran and its nuclear program makes me ill. It's the Iraq-war buildup all over again with all of the WMD lies, but with far higher stakes and with far more lunatics running the asylum.

Really, REALLY tired of living in interesting times.

Trump in the forecast is enough.

Yeah, we'll see about that. Israel is certainly expecting a response. Anyway, this was telegraphed in advance.

Well thanks, because you just dug up the memory of that show, and now the song is stuck in my head.

The first time I ever heard it used was during the coverage of the Bosnian War. The term as we know it today popped up in 1941: As an aside, I saw someone on reddit refer to Trump as "Donny two-dolls" and I think I'm going to be using that a lot.

Make no mistake, I'm not surprised. After all, major media outlets are beholden to their billionaires. I'm simply disgusted.

He's already said this much. From last month: This is also consistent with things his various mouthpieces have suggested or stated for weeks now. Just this week on X, Stephen Miller (who is in all likelihood operating as what amounts to a shadow president) said: And all of this is being said...

Same. Hard same. They both spoke to me.
