Anyone else remember all the depopulation conspiracy theories about covid vaccines, vaccines in general, the UN, climate change? This right here is actually depopulation, specifically of black and brown people—for now, being done out in the open, no deep dark sinister plot to uncover.

anyway, i’m at the point where people starting new substacks/remaining on substack really bums me out but can’t spend a ton of energy getting mad about it. bigger fish to fry and all. it just confuses me how so many continue to ignore the evidence of how much they suck.

Fraud prevention also usually comes up as a good reason for why the comptroller and treasurer are separate elected positions here in Illinois (as I‘m sure you know)

Feels connected to or similar to "incel" having been coined by a lesbian to describe herself and her loneliness, and now it's another word for men who hate women.

We will publish the name and face and address of everyone who worked in an ICE concentration camp holding children and every day we will demand they kill themselves.

Society properly expects adults to kill themselves rather than torture children.

A grey and white cat with a grey mask, white lower face and chest, a light colored nose, and a smudge of grey on her lower jaw, she’s laying on the edge of a soft white and green blanket on a grey couch. The cat’s name is Zanie and she is purring.

Zanie says hi

“What shall you do, villein, unleash a sulfur-hexed stone at my body?”

*the slow fuse keeps smoldering*

They mess up the order a lot, too

They hit their fiber macros every day

Even the campus newspaper and the local newspaper have really failed here, they let the Illini Republicans claim that this is a generic image, when it’s really a specific murder being turned into a meme.

Even the local papers are happy for these guys to lie to their faces, they love printing lies.

It's unsettling how traffic violence is reported in the US. If the driver was going this street's speed limit of 25mph, there's a 90% chance this woman would be alive. But that's unmentioned. The driver was "cooperative." There will be no follow up. There will be no convictions. A life is lost.

It’s just a rodent, they have a hunting season for them in my state

Peter Baker of the NYT can't find it in himself to write "he's mad no one likes him so he'll destroy the place so no one can have it" even though everyone with eyes and a working brain could add this shit up. They think you're stupid.

Haha, would you put riding a horse in the same category as riding a dragon?

More serious guess: e-bike, autonomous car, and…hang glider

Horse, donkey, and mule?

the culture war has assigned these scandals to opposing political teams but the epstein files and russiagate are the same story

The medieval peasants were right all the lords are demented fucks

Isn’t the Texas legislature part-time? They meet every other year and get paid like $20,000 as a salary

the epstein stuff is disturbing not just morally but epistemically. how much of the random stuff that is happening now that seems kind bad is, in fact, the work of one rich pervert I'm going to find out about in 30 years?

really glad that america voted for the epstein party to take control of congress, the white house, and the supreme court

It's crazy how the president is a pedophile and everyone knows it

Anyway I would be way more interested in the names and disposition of the officers who killed him in the street, that is actually salient and germane, meanwhile this is just the best hit piece they could manage under AG's watchful eye

trump wants to kill you. whether it’s an ICE agent shooting you, a cancer drug trial being defunded, increased air pollution, or defunding safe streets funding, the one universal thread in all of their policies is that they think the very idea of making the world a better place is a liberal hoax

This is confirmation that he’s been diagnosed.

Of what value to the republic are reporters so stupid that it took them over a year longer than the rest of us did to figure out what was going on here

He bragged about Michael Reinoehl’s death as a kind of revenge by federal police for the lawful use of a gun to stop right-wing violence and the press shrugged

When the CBP or ICE agent that Stephen Miller is trying to get killed dies, it is extremely important that every member of the media be told, repeatedly and loudly, that they wanted this and that people called it out in advance.

Years from now, it'll be difficult to explain the things people in media were wailing about before all this. Sophomores writing underconsidered op-eds about cultural appropriation. Protests against demagogues on campus. YA drama. "Mobs" on Twitter. These were the threats to free society.
