Lord of Crime

Using AI to keep watching videos of a dead person is frankly sinister. Just reveals a culture obsessed iwth never moving forward or looking ahead, just wallowing in increasingly degraded and unnatural rehashes of its own memories

“To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough', just so other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening."

Zelda Williams urges fans to stop sending AI videos of her father, Robin Williams:

“Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I’ll understand, I don’t and I won’t. If you’re just trying to troll me, I’ve seen way worse, I’ll restrict and move on.”

“I wish I could be the guy who says, ‘everyone calm down; things have been just as bad before, and we got through it.’ But I can’t be that reasonable-sounding moderate floating above it all. Things are very bad. People should be far more alarmed than they are.”

“Who was president in 2020?” is the question of our time

If we don’t have Nuremberg / Truth and Reconciliation hearings/commissions and seriously prosecute and put away these goons and their masters they’ll just do it again. J6 and now proves it

This is not a political movement--it is an insurgency. And this insurgency is powered by fundamentally bad people, the type of people for whom prisons are built.

I don't doubt that Trumpism will soon crumble and things will return to a seeming normal. But what worries me is whether we will again make the mistake of offering impunity to these degenerates because if so, we're just waiting around for fascism that sticks.

Picture here is from 1992. LA riots. Ive seen this called bad news judgment. In any real journalism outfit this is more like a firing offense. I basically say such things. Beyond belief.

What's happening in Chicago is not normal.

Pentagon chief Hegseth more interested in pushups than talking with Illinois leaders, Pritzker says The governor said the Trump administration is keeping him in the dark about immigration enforcement and National Guard deployments.

Pete Hegseth was busy ignoring his job and doing pushups as part of a show for the Guinness Book of World Records while Illinoisans are being invaded by Trump’s military troops.

While critics try to paint Chicago as something to fear, the rest of the world knows the truth — this is the best big city in America.

If the National Governors Association chooses to remain silent, Illinois will have no choice but to withdraw from the organization.

We should be standing as one against the idea that Donald Trump can call up the National Guard against our will.

Let’s stipulate that Trump will continue to do things that shock us. But, seriously, no one should be shocked about this.

He’s been itching to did it for years. He’s laying the ground every day. We’ve been warned. And this is exactly what he’s going to do.

Why do I have this feeling this guy will have child porn on his computer and phone?

He got shot AT, but the bullet didn't hit him. He just got some glass on his ear that healed up quickly.

honestly kind of amazing how hard they're working to completely invent a world in which Charlie Kirk was shot by anyone other than one random guy. They didn't even really do this with *Trump*

Don't be afraid of this. Do expect extremely stupid shit to happen as a result.

"Leftist political terrorism is a clear and present danger. Corrupted ideologies like transgenderism and Antifa are a cancer on our culture and have unleashed their deranged and drugged-up foot soldiers on the American people," said Attorney General Paxton. "The martyrdom of Charlie Kirk marks a turning point in America. There can be no compromise with those who want us dead. To that end, I have directed my office to continue its efforts to identify, investigate, and infiltrate these leftist terror cells. To those demented souls who seek to kill, steal, and destroy our country, know this: you cannot hide, you cannot escape, and justice is coming." The radical Left has incubated an environment where political violence is not only justified but celebrated and praised. In July, nearly two dozen armed leftists connected to various Texas-based Antifa-like groups ambushed an Immigration and Customs Enforcement ("ICE") facility in Alvarado, Texas. On September 10, 2025, a leftist assassin connected to the radical transgender movement murdered Charlie Kirk because of Kirk's bold support for truth, love of country, and unshakable faith. Two weeks later, another deranged leftist opened fire at an ICE facility in Dallas. President Donald Trump has officially designated Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization and instructed his administration to "utilize all applicable authorities to investigate, disrupt, and dismantle any and all illegal operations — especially those involving terrorist actions — conducted by Antifa." Building on President Trump's bold actions, Attorney General Paxton has instructed his office to initiate sweeping investigations into radical leftist organizations engaged in or providing support to those performing political violence.

Citing the “martyrdom” of Charlie Kirk, Texas AG Ken Paxton says his office is pursuing sweeping undercover investigations into “leftist” groups. “To those demented souls who seek to kill, steal, and destroy our country, know this: you cannot hide, you cannot escape, and justice is coming."

We need, in a word, virtue signaling -- we need to be signaling to one another, and to ordinary Americans, that this *is* fucked up and everyone *should* fight back. People need something to rally around & they're getting nothing.

Everything they are doing & saying right now is very obviously meant to clear the way for mass repressive violence.

Fact checking is not going to do shit.

Talking about kitchen table issues is not going to do shit.

We need open, unapologetic defiance & conflict.
