Man, if these Culture Warriors knew that David Overton, the founder of the Cheesecake Factory is a follower of Iranian mystic Meher Baba.

Meta must be destroyed.

Sobering news out of Brazil for Don Jr.

Congrats to Lula on overcoming Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump to defeat Hospital Pervert Jr., even as his opposition literally blocked off roads and turned off bus service during election day. Fascists are scary but they are always, 100% of the time, ultimately gigantic fucking losers.

It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.

October 30, 2025; “Up to 23,500 service members are being readied and trained for civil unrest missions in U.S. cities.” Unfortunately, I suspect we’re about to discover just how relevant this story was over the coming months. And everyone’s just going into it blind. God help us.

Playing Warcraft III: Reforged, and taking great heart at Maiev’s most repeated line: “The guilty will suffer.”

My 12-year-old said, “we don’t have anything for breakfast” Folks, we have cereal, yogurt, granola, applesauce, bananas, eggs, and toast 🙃

Actually enslavers did this. During the Haitian revolution, the French deployed them as part of a plan to eradicate the Black population on the island under Charles Leclerc.

Once mass spam texts were made legal, younger donors vanished, leaving a grassroots fundraising machine that subsists on squeezing vulnerable seniors, some of whom give hundreds of times a day. It’s a horrific model. Consultants get generationally wealthy, and the party hollows out its future.

republicans’ closing message could not be clearer: they are the party of pedophile rapists

Could the metaphors please stop being so apt

Another adjacent @jdcmedlock.bsky.social essential hit

Is there any industry, any field of human endeavor beyond asset-stripping oligarchs and their vulture economy that isn’t actively collapsing? Every institution seems to be run by people who would sell the foundations for scrap, declare record profits, and leave everyone else to live in the rubble.

They finally did the thing

“Fascism rises from desperation, a crisis of essentials” no it doesn’t. No it isn’t. It rises from guys wanting to look cool and be cruel

The evil version of myself that I trapped in the mirror is always saying stuff like "let me out, I'm not the evil one, you're literally holding a skull right now". Be quiet or I'll throw my skull at you

Honestly this kind of character work is what’s lacking in modern Trek. “The crew takes time out of their busy schedule to relax, and learns a thing or two about themselves along the way.” Shoot it right into my veins.

You Can See Everything was definitely my favorite movie of the year, and all the really interesting stuff happened in the second half, so I really don’t want to spoil the surprise! See it!

On the off chance this is real and I’m not too late… Bryan Johnson fucks Dogs. I have proof.

Conservatives get all three branches of government, the money, the police, the news, but their kids won't return their calls, their screenplays don't get produced, their books rot on the shelves, and everyone hates them and won't sell them pierogies. And that makes them even worse.

This is the feedback loop I'm seeing in art and culture, where conservatives have gotten everything they want except friends and acclaim (because they're repellent and artless) and so they get ever more angry and paranoid, convinced that there's a conspiracy denying them friends and acclaim

Perhaps ironically, Evangelicals are closer to the Christian conceptualization of Satanists than any actual Satanic sect that I am aware of. The pay obeisance to greed, selfishness, hatred, and cruelty, and completely eschew the teachings of Christ.

The Stasi but stupider

Nationalize all of Musk’s holdings

I cut off my Dad for a little more than a year. And do you know what happened? He apologized and changed his behavior, and I started spending time with him again!

It's fucking insane that the Golden Rule only polls at 52%--but it's also pretty fucking clarifying.

The GOP doubling down on being the pro-pedophile party

boat!

my reaction to nearly everything right now

"three Trek appearances on three different series" is the character actor equivalent of winning a batting title

The “every accusation is a confession” thing is maybe overstated but when it comes to Republicans and “sharia” it is unquestionably the case that the people trying to impose their religion on others through the legal system in the US are not Muslims bsky.app/profile/qasi...

Said it before, I'll say it again: the grimmest political development in my lifetime is that we went from having old people who remember the Depression to having old people who remember the Eisenhower Administration.

ultimately it's shit like this that makes the decline of birth rates and resulting demographic skewing towards old people self-reinforcing. Greedy, wealthy retired people voting to destroy the funding for public services they relied on throughout their life now that they no longer need them
