Somehow the slight possibility a goofy gamer kid entertains a feminine side on his phone is this generation's equivalent to WOMD and there is literally nothing standing in the way of a similar media-government conspiracy to plant evidence & ride rumors as pretense for tyrannical acts against lefties

[Highlighting begins] But the shooting may put concerns over gun violence back on voters’ minds, and may lead some to further scrutinize Mr. Mamdani, [Highlighting ends] who has relatively limited experience in government and has not handled a high-profile crisis while in office.

One fascinating thing about the most self-serious newspaper in America with its staff of the winning journalistic meritocrats is that it routinely, institutionally publishes completely made-up bullshit speculation about pure abstractions, based on zero reporting, written as if it were plain facts

So I guess now we're all just waiting for the admin to come up with a way to silence the Epstein files uproar by releasing some fake/redacted version or just doing a press conference where a reprogrammed Gr0k takes the podium to pretend it has the final word

The downfall of its vain proponents aside, early 2000s atheist movement saw this on the horizon and were poo-pooed by liberals all along the way. Zappa called it in the early 80s, we are slipping into fascist theocracy, and with God in govt every kind of evil is possible

Dylan, who recorded "Talkin' John Birch Paranoid Blues" also recorded a cover of "Don't Fence Me In" for the hagiographic Reagan movie, a tribute to a man who carried Bircherism up to the new millennium

Being a former rapper could always turn out embarrassing but his big hit was about Chapati and his stage name was Young Cardamom. How could anybody not like that?

Is the goal to just keep running this country into the ground long enough so that, without chance of recovery, we are forced to give up on the idea something better than this was possible?

Anytime I'm around folks watching a major sporting event broadcast--w/ hours of 3-piece suit commentary about players' body parts, personal lives, how good they can move a ball, etc.--I can't help but wonder what our society would be like with that much serious attention paid toward important things

Someone needs to sit down Dr. Phil on a stage, in front of cameras, and lecture him on the poor decisions he has made over the course of his career, and how he can do better. That person should be Oprah.

Carry the spirit of '76 long enough and it just manifests in mercenary hits on what the founders created
