Well, to be fair, the fascist oligarchal class only hates humanity itself literally, openly, constantly

went in and clipped this part of the movie. i love the haunted soundscape here, it's like someone went in an arcade microdosing acid and stared at a wall and wrote down what they were hearing

Also the only really smart critique in a movie of violent video games which is not that they make kids violent but that the military would use gaming to recruit kids and the intentional blurring of gaming and drone warfare would intentionally blur war. bsky.app/profile/maxk...

And you know, you can extend from this to a real important corallary to "Everyone is 12 Now" theory is "There has been a generation-long project to keep people 12."

Conservative news and opinon outlets, regressive mass audience entertainment products, etc. all propagandize a chilidish worldview.

The push toward AI is an important part of this too. Do you think they are encouraging us to have AI do everything that would otherwise involve thinking because they’re trying to empower people, or

oh I see the board of peace has declared war

Living in a dumb country ruled by dummies sucks. They got mad at a middling technocrat nerd and burnt the world down.

BREAKING — 51 Iranian children are dead after a strike hits Minab girls elementary school in Iran.

I guess it was just coincidence that Trump launched this invasion while Congress wasn't in session.

Shout to anyone getting married this weekend!

"Great Satan" is too complimentary. We are Satan's Fuck-Up Cousin, Dirty Dennis, the Drunken Devil.

what if we did 2003 again but with even stupider people in charge of everything

On the plus side, there's a fire up at Chautauqua to distract us!

Party over country is just going to keep on Fucking us.

Integrity matters, and is missing.

A data point to remember re: “popularism” is that the popular position on what is happening in Iran and happened in Venezuela is “no war, this is insane, full stop” and the moderate elected officials we are supposed to like are saying contorted, legalistic, unpopular word salad instead of that.

Funny thing: Trump is, all on his lonesome, a walking, talking advertisement for the nuclear armament of, well, everyone.

(Nukes are, apparently, the only real deterrent to imperial force.)

Not Great, Not Safe, and Not Healthy.

The idea that Iranians will love us as we bomb them is imperialist horseshit.

there’s been this budding antisemitic narrative since Kirk’s death in the usual spaces online, cheered on by Candace Owens and Alex Jones specifically, that is going to go off like a supernova inside the authoritarian movement‘s base when Iran goes sideways

seven deadly sins: 1. sloth 2-7. whatever

First, too-early take on the unfolding Iran situation.

A U.S. veteran adopted an orphan from Iran. Decades later, ICE is trying to deport her The woman has no criminal record and is unsure what prompted the threat of removal. She fears being deported to Iran given her father's military service and her Christian faith.

Well at least we have the unsteady diseased raping hand of a complete fucking lunatic at the controls

I was assured by no end of folks supporting Trump that there would be no wars under his watch.

I see those promises were more thin than Trump's real hair.

Big congratulations to the “no new wars” crowd.

There were many bad reasons to support (or anti-anti-) Donald Trump. But none with as much willful denial and reality inversion as yours.

"No new wars" really just meant "f*ck Ukraine" and everyone knew it.

Spinning up the Fifth Column and we're only a few hours in.

One might be led to wonder if it will end in our lifetimes.

Security guarantees from us, no less. Had we lived up to them (starting to 2008,when Putin invaded Georgia, making clear the threat), the world would be a very different place.
