Your Weird Uncle Steve

Looks like Caesar’s Palace circa 1982 before it was remodeled.

Imagine what he has in store for the ballroom. Holy shit!

New York is a-changin'.

Your life is worse off because too many white people hate Black people.

ICE is the enemy within, not the undocumented, not “liberals” not the lgbtq+ community, not POC, Muslims, Jews, or any of you… it’s 🧊

ID: A post on Twitter by @NickyFrank30 reading: My grandfather used to say "and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel" and I never knew what it meant until after he died my grandmother explained some magazine did a fluff interview with Magda Goebbels a few years before WW2 that included her strudel recipe and my grandfather, who hated the Nazis with the passion of 10,000 suns, thought it was an example of the media sanitizing evil people and would use the phrase when someone asked him to overlook a bad person doing bad things and focus on the good.

"Magda Goebbels made a great strudel"

We are retroactively losing the Civil War, WWII and the Cold War thanks to white identity politics.

A screenshot of a post on X from Andrew Cuomo showing him sitting courtside at Madison Square Garden next to Mayor Eric Adams. The tweet says: "No better way to celebrate winning tonight's debate than making it to the @nyknicks game in time for the 2nd half."

Corruption goes courtside.

Fauci was never a leopard.

So this is what it must have felt like when intelligent folks were watching people put down a dollar to borrow $10 to invest in the stock market in 1929, assuming it would always go up.

Helpless.

Thank you @pluralistic.net.web.brid.gy .

Next year when the economy is an utter disaster it'll be interesting to hear how the party that controls the House, the Senate & the Presidency blames Democrats.

The big take-away from this article?

Get off Facebook & Meta. Get off Twitter. Their algorithms are hate-baiting. Get off and never look back. Keep your friends.

When the history books are written about this era they will be loaded with examples of how comedy - from late night to South Park - were a key component of how we beat back authoritarianism.

Now enjoy a prime example...

Um, so if the concept of "Anti-Fascism" is going to be designated a terrorist group, doesn't that kind of inherently mean that they're fascist?

Look at what was in my calendar for yesterday that's NOT happening now.

@jimmykimmel.com you rock.

TERRORISM EXPERT HERE:
He cannot designate an idea as a terrorist group.

There is no org called ANTIFA. There is no leadership or funding path or no membership. Also there is no terrorism law in America. Ask Luigi.

He wants to call anyone a terrorist. That’s Fascism.

The tech billionaires are increasing your costs for electricity to run their AI so and fire you.

Yeah, that's going to end well for them.

Thanks for the heads up. I saw it in my feed and I almost clicked. Nope.

The right ignored the murder of the Minnesota House Speaker by a guy who had a hit list of Democrats he was targeting to flip control of the chamber to Republicans.

Asked about that assassination today, the president said he didn't know who she was and a Fox host said he didn't care she was killed.

One side promotes and commits political violence much more than the other.

Political Donors Should Not Be Above the Law The line between public service and private gain continues to blur as financial elites secure pardons and regulatory leniency following campaign contributions.

Corruption scandals have occurred in past administrations, but the scale and brazenness of pardons and other favorable legal treatment under the second Trump administration stands out.

Because they've been so rational up until now. Of course they'll understand....

A fact.

Let’s learn:
“A false flag event is a politically motivated operation designed to deceive people into believing an attack was carried out by an enemy, thereby creating a pretext for war, domestic repression, or other actions.”

CNN has a panel talking about Epstein and the host just mentioned (almost as an aside!) that one of the guys is a lawyer defending Ghislaine Maxwell. And rather than being a guest who's grilled about the case, he's treated like any other panelist who just happens to be minimizing the crimes.

When DOGE strips the security from your personal data, civil servants blow the whistle not because we are obsessed with rules (ok a little) but because people like this will take advantage

“A scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it.”

- Max Planck, the originator of Quantum Theory

Fair enough.

Keep up the good work Santiago.

I wish I could be more optimistic looking at that graph but knowing that over 65% of them still support the guy with all he's doing is still disappointing.
