Ok I try to take some time off and the minute my back is turned, these idiots go and start ww3? Sheesh. I can't take my eyes off things for five minutes, all hell breaks loose.
Behave yourselves, kids.
Mortals also can't bring about Armageddon on God's behalf. That's the other dude talking.
Hi folks. I gave up social media for Lent. The answer to any and all questions you may have for me right now is "because they engaged in international espionage to steal critical national secrets"
Peace out, see you sometime after Easter. I have reading to do.
22 people connected to epstein died by suicide????
“I use AI therefore I am” is some really deranged shit, the cherry on top will be when some tech venture to name their AI system Descartes
In today’s dictatorship news:
Stephen Colbert, with grace and humor, is making his network overlords look like the most pathetic cowards imaginable, and that’s what they are. The last two nights have been a masterclass in courage and precise examples of how everyone should deal with this stupid administration.
honestly whatever America did we don't deserve this
Eric Hensal sampled 2,000 DOJ emails and found Jeffrey Epstein sent ~79 emails a day, most 3 to 7 words long. Not hedge fund strategy. Logistics. Scheduling. “Girls.” The data suggests trafficking wasn’t a side hustle. It was the job.
Holy shit, this is right next to where I used to work--and right across from Oak Brook Mall, where a huge segment of the customer base is Middle Eastern and South Asian. abc7chicago.com/post/lewis-u...
George it’s WORSE than what you endured as a child in the Japanese Internment camps
Simply horrific. What are we becoming?
I wonder if the hype machines will learn anything from this Olympics ... 🙃
CBS can try to obey in advance by pressuring Stephen Colbert to silence his interview with James Talarico, the gifted communicate running for the U.S. Senate in Texas, but people can see what’s happening—& can listen to the convo on YouTube. Brendan Carr & the FCC’s free speech attack will backfire.
Why did Epstein's lawyers formally seek records from both the CIA, and the National Security agency or (NSA) regarding affiliation Epstein had with us intelligence between 1999 - 2011, including after his 2008 conviction for soliciting minors? 🤔
Trump’s propaganda czar Brendan Carr and Trump-controlled CBS refused to let Colbert air his interview with James Talarico. You can watch the interview here, and it already has 1.4M views. youtu.be/oiTJ7Pz_59A?...
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche admits that the DOJ excluded all images showing “death, physical abuse, or injury” from Epstein files release.
DEATH? The truth is probably far worse than anyone can imagine.
The $5 million campaign, called Small Businesses Against Tariffs, aims to spotlight the impact of tariffs on small businesses, workers and consumers.
Things are in fact getting stupider
I told you they’d come after Veterans’ benefits. www.stripes.com/veterans/202...
FBI refusing to share Alex Pretti shooting evidence with state investigators. "BCA Superintendent Drew Evans said Monday that the FBI formally notified the state on Friday that it won’t grant the access." www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...
Absolutely fantastic
That label on the left takes me back to 1991
My go to is Indian food. Dhaal, chickpea masala, muttar paneer, palak paneer. Satisfying, yummy, and meat free.
This is a crime against taste buds
So....the Fourth Reich?
