Hi everyone! Welcome if you just joined my feed 👋 I thought I'd just introduce myself. I am Dr. Emma L. Briant, a leading academic expert on information warfare and propaganda in a surveillance age. My work was central in exposing #CambridgeAnalytica and I hope to be your guide through this crazy...

In Trump I there was a one season comedy central cartoon called "Our TV President" that had this premise. Didn't work because shit got way too dark way too quickly to make light of in the way the premise of the show required. But they were spot on re: that aspect of Trump's psychology.

Looking at both the "fascist" exchange and the jihadist/Stefanik comment you get the sense that Trump views all of politics as "character you play on tv." Which tracks with his long history as a tv celebrity and WWE regular.

what i suspect here is that for Trump himself, accusations of fascism are viewed as "keyfabe" by either side

A bunch of these guys who joined the Eastern Orthodox Church and got "ironic" Totenkapfs tattoos and got hooked on Tucker Carlson nicotine pouches are gonna wake up one morning February 2026 and realize they've simply been lost in a fascist fugue state for several years

Relationship counseling but just blind texting each other your semiotic and power analysis of Mamdani and Trump meeting to see if you’re compatible.

the reason this is amazing is because the most opportunistic self-serving shitheads in this country are acting like MAGA is a toxic brand, and this is GREAT FOR US.

they are still not our friends.

"what the fuck do they know" is the only question running through my head right now, especially since folks started acting real wild not long after the MRI that Trump doesn't know why he had

I can't believe this was only 17 days ago

What a day.

The Hochul campaign is out with a statement regarding President Trump's disagreement with Rep. Elise Stefanik calling Zohran Mamdani a "jihadist." Comms Director Sarafina Chitika says Trump "nuked her opening argument" in Stefanik's bid for governor

Not good

She’s rebuking the Q-Anon pretty strongly here which is wild given that she rode into office heralding that narrative.

I think it’s bad that ai allows people to pretend to live in completely separate realities so they don’t have to process news and events that make them uncomfortable. I think that is bad for the health of society!

Speaking as a longtime Paul Thomas Anderson aficionado, Sinners was a way more important film — and a much smarter film — than One Battle After Another, which was entertaining at times but also full of misogynoir and bad revisionist readings of liberation movements

In the same way I feel the destruction of the East Wing was just the 9/11 attacks destroying the White House 24 years late, Mamdani winning in NYC closes the circle on the frothing, bloodthirsty, paranoid fucking madness that has been destroying this country for most of my life. Or a start at least.

no offense to ur white american politics or whatever but the temperature on islamophobia—heated for decades by racist republicans and democrats alike, against Mamdani even—dropping off a cliff, is a huge relief for muslims and people who get mistaken for muslim—like me and every other MENA minority.

democrats believe in bourgeois rule more than donald trump does. if you told him we’ll give him all the wealth of the billionaires he has grudges against (inherited by the state on his death) he would be a vicious class traitor. faggy theater kid narcissism can be managed—Puyi was managed no offense

like i think it gets memory-holed but he was swinging significantly to the left of the dnc on the specific case of the george floyd murder for the first 24 or so hours before there was anything to be gained by being barbaric and stupid about it

oh my god is there another one coming

Hitting that country club was an idiotic move

Did I somehow miss a conspiracy theory talking point on the WTC? What the fuck is she talking about?

Grok speculating that Elon Musk would be the most effective leader of an international terrorist organization

Elon Musk, hypoethically the best terrorist of all time

I think the two IPs that would suit this best are Halo and STALKER

I think GSC could pull this off but it would be a huge project for them

I do not think 343 could pull this off for a lot of project management related reasons

In an era filled with tech dipshits who never developed emotionally past the age of 13 & use their wealth to become odious monsters ...

... listen to Steve Wozniak.

One of the most pathetic examples of corporate capture I've ever seen.
CFPB is requiring bank examiners to read a "humility in supervisions" pledge before any examination begins, basically apologizing for having the temerity to monitor compliance.
Here's the pledge.

seeking funding for my passion project, a poignant docudrama about the time i got fired from my job for being a sex weirdo and so set off to make my passion project

For GOD’s sake, do not write a personal essay.

Hakeem Jeffries was literally voting for a resolution condemning socialism while this meeting was taking place
