Barry Smith's drawing of Bran Mak Morn looks like Miles Davis in the 1970s after some trad-jazz diehard has told him that this new funk direction is utter garbage.

He paid off traitors because he wants to create more of them. His plan is to overthrow democracy and enslave us

🧵🧵🧵 A scandal that hardly anyone knows happened is Trump giving traitor Michael Flynn $1.25 million in your tax money. Flynn, Trump’s 1st national security adviser, pleaded guilty twice to lying to the FBI but was pardoned by Trump. He sued, alleging "weaponization," and DOJ paid him in March. 1/4🧵

Also ironic that post-“Free Speech absolutism” the solution continually put forward to “regain trust” is to adhere to the politically correct opinion in the denotative sense of the word

i do get the handwringing about how academia relates to the public, but fundamentally, any proposal that involves academics not saying what they earnestly believe, even and especially when it is at variance from public opinion is a nonstarter for me

In terms of "fanfic premises where you get a magic sex tattoo on your wrist at 18", I rate this a B-. It's better than your future soulmate's name, but not as good as magically revealing whether you're a dom or sub and sorts you into the matching bom or sub house at BDSM Hogwarts

the biggest presidential scandal in history. jeffrey epstein was a close friend and business associate of trump and they did crimes together! against children! its all pretty much out in the open now but its a smaller story than hillary's email server was for some reason

BREAKING: The New Mexico Department of Justice has sued Acting AG Todd Blanche and the DOJ, requesting the court for access to unredacted Epstein-related investigative files that the DOJ has been withholding.

This is the core of American rot, in my opinion. Nobody wants to do the hard work of confronting power, so we reach for magic bullets. Then, predictably, entrenched power uses those tools to further entrench themselves.

We knew license plate readers, PredPol, and “targeted enforcement” were used to effectively occupy particular communities with constant surveillance and harass anyone who left/lived there. We added capacity anyway.

The technological solution to racist policing being abused by the police until it becomes publicly untenable is a particular type of dark irony.

NEW: Police in Wisconsin used Flock to determine that a man “travels to Michigan frequently,” where marijuana is legal, then back to Wisconsin, where it is illegal. They then used his travel across state lines as tracked by Flock as part of the probable cause justification to search his car.

<Grabs the mic> This ranch was managed by the same two people that managed the Sex Island and those were the only two properties that were under their supervision of all the places Epstein owned.

PBS News@pbsnews.org · 5mo ago

State investigators began searching a secluded ranch in New Mexico on Monday where financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein once entertained guests amid allegations that the property may have been used for sexual abuse and sex trafficking of young women. https://to.pbs.org/3OTnx89

i think we should start by taking all of Trump's money and imprisoning his entire family

40 years ago multiple movies, comics, and books were premised on the idea drug fueled crime would continue to increase exponentially until we lived in a totally crime based chaotic society with drug lords ruling large swathes of the US cities.

So this is basically one of the entry points to becoming a reactionary

It's worth noting for the tech optimists is that the AI success stories you sometimes hear about are not the same as LLMs. Machine learning for folding proteins, or identifying cancer masses, is completely separate technologies that took about 2 decades, a lot of experts, no mass data reaping.

Andrew Tate’s lawyer is claiming they will be executed in the U.K. Unfortunately MAGAs will believe anything so just to be really clear, there is no such thing as the death penalty in the U.K. and there hasn’t been for many decades.

Yeah, brushing teeth, math, being able to read, and having access to medical screening are all very clearly just “extreme woke gay trans DEI libtard nonsense” and MUST be eliminated

Looks like a 10-15 point polling miss in Michigan regardless of who wins. And people have been writing a lot of electability takes using this data. It’s dangerous out there folks be safe
