Riley

The zoomers that got butt mogged? They’re done college now. One owns a house.

“Indie Sleaze” was much more about Cobra Snake and his immediate social circle than any band

The way I look at this is whether or not the hype winds up bearing out—or even a fraction of it—we need to prepare for a long future in which bosses + management are incentivized at every level to proceed as if it's true; cutting labor costs, automating tasks, killing jobs.

On the most recent episode of @trashfuture.bsky.social, Riley coins the term "Epsteinist" for the politics of profiting from managed decline and the promotion of that decline, and I think it should catch on.

if you have a ring camera you are a child, terrified of the silhouette of a jacket hanging on a chair. you are lower than a worm to me. you have sold your soul to a devil that has offered you nothing in return

This made me realize that I have literally not even once entertained the idea that Jeffery epstein actually killed himself. Was legitimately not even an option. Seemed ridiculous to me on its face. My only question was which government person or people did it. Not sure what this says about me

Did probably my favourite mayor of Season 2 of No Gods No Mayors

Fool me twice, won’t get fooled again

When the Prime Minister talks like he’s pleading down a white collar crime charge, that’s how you know your government is in ship shape

Why does he have a street sign behind him? Why is it small and off centre? Apparently it’s supported by the UK government? What is it!

Say what you will about the ship’s overall trajectory, at least the deckchairs have been rearranged really weird

i am trying not to joke about the Epstein stuff because it's so horrible but there's also this ridiculous element where it's like... discovering Dracula is real, he's taken over human society at the highest levels, he's involved in tons of evil and also he's a huge dipshit

🚨👇KNOWN GRUEL CONSUMER👇🚨

Didn’t have any gruel this morning @devononearth.bsky.social @illybocean.boontavista.com

He wasn’t a Russian influence op he was a money influence op! It’s maddening!

This guy also has such a dumb way of framing it! Wealthy Russians wanted to bribe Trump… so did everybody! He just facilitated all of it!

Cryptocurrency means you can bribe the US president directly without needing an Island Guy

I saw that and saw that it was a bit sensationalist tbh!

On the new TF we talk about Epstein in terms of his “day job” as a node in the global kleptocracy (I.e. facilitating bribes from wealthy Russians or Saudis to Trump or connecting western financiers with same), and it occurs to me now that the function is filled by… crypto!

1 job lost to blockchain.

“Hey why didn’t you play into my ludicrous shenanigans”

My only conclusion is that everyone who worked on this who isn’t Brett Ratner hated it and wanted it to fail

A Hollywood reporter calls and asks one of her assistants “can I ask how the movie came to be” and everyone on Melanie’s side responds “no way we cannot talk about that ever” and this is IN THE MOVIE

I watched it for an upcoming TF episode it’s… something

I mean it’s endemic across the transatlantic elite, but at least with the libs… they picked Clinton BEFORE he started going to the island

Having a personalist revolutionary political movement where the “person” is an enthusiastic paedophile who loved to hang out with his paedophile friends and exchange hundreds of emails proclaiming his love for the paedophile parties they all went to… was probably, in retrospect, an unforced error.

NEW episode on the mayoral benevolent feed! What if someone tried to to reconstruction correctly? Okay, what if he also got rich? nogodsnomayors.com

Listen to @trashfuture.bsky.social

they should’ve made a Matt Foley movie rather than an It’s Pat! movie
