For all their flaws, fb and insta have been critical to my business. I stream elsewhere as well, but 99% of the audience is on fb, and they’re my most reliable spots to post events. Need to strategize now. Rearrange the letters in “disaster” and you get “opportunity.” Right?

My fb account was accessed from NY at 4:06am Sun, then from a couple of computers in Vietnam. I got a few texts and emails about suspicious activity, but the accounts were disabled at 4:11. Any idiot could see it was a hacker, but i can’t get ahold of an idiot at Meta, only a really stupid robot.

No update from Facebook; I’m still shut down there and on instagram and WhatsApp. Their help robot keeps asking me to login even after we’ve established that I can’t, as is the whole point. “Super intelligence” my ass.

Say it louder for the goyim in the back.

The reason some Jews are so skeptical of criticism of Israel, (and this is explanation and not defense), is that you start with "the Israeli government is racist" and end with what the Green Party actually adopted, which is, "Individual UK Jews can be punished for attending shuls we deem Zionist."

not just the civil war. this guy was a teacher.

the lesson of the Civil War is that aesthetic warrior-cult societies get their shit rocked by schoolteachers and store clerks who'd much rather be doing anything else

I still give the US version of “Rubber Soul” the edge. If it hadn’t omitted “Nowhere Man” it’d win in a walk.

Realized I’ve had an extremely rare Harry Potter piece in my drawer for 25 years; an early promo counter display calling book 4 “the doomspell tournament.” Can’t see many examples of sales online, just people saying how rare it is. Maybe I’ll sell and donate to trans orgs.

I know how i got hacked; I tried a program to automate advertising my events and books (a tedious process of copy/paste that seems like it should be automatable). It seemed like sketchy ai junk so I quit early. Fool me once, shame on you. But teach a man to fool me, and I’ll be fooled for life.

At least if I can’t get back on fb I won’t have to see those horrible feeds with badly inaccurate slop pics of historic sites and a million old farts leaving loving nostalgic comments.

Nothing is coming up Milhouse today.

Facebook has a thing where you take a selfie to verify it’s you after being hacked and disabled, but apparently it takes a while and no guarantee it’ll work. Losing the ability to promote my biz is bad but i can’t even veg out on reels of people opening packs of baseball cards and stuff. My algo!

My Facebook/insta were hacked overnight; can’t currently access. Not great timing, since they’re my main way of promoting my tours. There’s one this morning! www.eventbrite.com/e/rosehill-c...

Still some room on my Rosehill tour tomorrow, but some tours later this month are sold out already! People sure like hearing about diphtheria , tuberculosis, and cholera, I guess. I also have far more 7th grade humor than the next leading brand. www.eventbrite.com/e/rosehill-c...

Coffee and the new Jeni’s acorn ice cream. Autumn heaven.

Just this week on my patreon I shared a letter from Ida Noyes talking about this issue. From 1895.

People in college today have never heard someone shout “I’ll get it” when the phone rings. We had to shout it in cursive from the creek when the street lights came on.

Fuck surveys. No, I don't want to stay on the line to do a survey after the call. No, I don't want you to text me with a survey. No, I don't want you click on the link to take a survey. Or another email reminding me to take the survey. And I don't want to ask my customers to take one, either.

Woody Guthrie I did not know you had that swag

What, and I cannot stress this enough, the actual fuck.

The fact that this idiocy got past an editor in a book on godamn punctuation shows how deep the ignorance of Judaism and Jewish history is in the wider culture and how that ignorance is being weaponized so as to create a better scapegoat for Western uses

I tried to do a skydance one time. I got hurt pretty bad.

I just wrote a damned good country song. Next step is to film myself singing it in a flannel shirt with a forest or something behind me and not worry that it’s too reminiscent of “Carmelita,” right?

I had never heard of squirrel but it seems like every day I hear of another leftist influencer with a million followers turning out to be antisemitic as hell, and not just in a “don’t really know enough to understand when their rhetoric crosses the line” way.

Senator Schmitt telling friends how he survived being trampled by a stampeding herd of elephants: “i just want you to know I’m still alive.” Everyone: “Are you sure it was elephants, not the Iowa Hawkeyes?”

Confession: I think chatbots can be fun. It’s like talking to Zork (if you typed “jump” it’d reply with something snarky). But I don’t get how people can talk to them for very long and not realize they’re talking to a robot that makes shit up.

Charlie Warzel@cwarzel.bsky.social · 5d ago

For a long time I've wanted a sense of how trump has or hasn't interacted with chatbots (we know he posts a lot of slop sure). And this TIME anecdote about Grok arguably leading Trump into war is just extremely bracing

Ive historically agreed with this take but these days I’m willing to make exceptions if the prisoner is Greg Bovino, Pam Bondi, Kristi Noem, Tom Homan, Markwayne Mullins, or Pete Hegseth.

Executing prisoners is not a legitimate power of government, despite its long and barbaric history, and we should put an end to it. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/30/u...

There is a moment at the very very end of Abdul El-Sayed's podcast with Ezra Klein (book recommendation section) where he talks about the idea of "speaking truth to pain" and this will be staying with me for an extremely long time. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/25/o...

I've seen lefty people on multiple websites sharing stuff by people who use the term "ZOG" seriously, it is endemic and it is very, very bad

neuse river hag@neuseriverhag.bsky.social · 6d ago

The first three screenshots here are followed by leftist journalists & artists that i follow, the last is a post by an actual, committed Nazi, who posts enough plausibly deniable stuff aiming for distribution on the left that I've had to ping friends about their reposts before.
