"This sense of invulnerability has deep psychological ramifications. If everything is free and nothing matters, then the world and other people exist only to be acted upon, if they are acknowledged at all. This is different from classic narcissism, in which a grandiose but fragile self-image can […]

I did an experiment. I ran my VPN through a Canadian server, fired up Google Maps while still logged into my US Google account. Google Maps showed Lake Ontario for a split second, then displayed Lake America. I'm going to try it without being logged in using a browser.

The Trump admin through Hegseth is removing all high level officers who will say no to their craziness, such as sending troops to invade Iran, because Trumpets have no imagination, historical knowledge, or strategic thinking beyond immediate gratification and self-soothing […]

I watched a video were someone got an AI telephone scam chat bot to go into debugging mode and instructed it to do everything to win the prize offered by the scammers, then conferenced it into another call with another AI chat bot from the scam org, then repeated the process of conferencing more […]

The US military caused a trans woman to go homeless when it didn't pay her $86K+ it owed her when she left the service because of Trump's anti-trans bigotry. https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2026/08/30/trans-veteran-became-homeless-after-military-didnt-pay-her-severance/ #uspol #news […]

Trump is like those weird sports stadium owners who sell naming rights that make stadiums generic and less interesting, like AAA Septic Pumping Stadium or UltraCryptoScam Field, when he renames water bodies to get his jollies. I'm glad MapQuest is resisting.

It's awesome that the 2025 "Hetero Awesome Fest" was infiltrated by a pro-trans singer who sang about a song about a trans kid before the organizers figured out what was happening. Reports say turnout for the fest was in the dozens […]

I like the aircraft theme. Miss Indiana 2026 Eniola Oke and her costume in honor of the women who built the P-47 airplane during World War Two. She's a member of the Air Force Reserve and attends Indiana University. #Indiana

The trend of MAGA businesses failing continues. A tavern whose owners were so homophobic and mean they held events like the "Hetero Awesome Fest" and turn people over to ICE events has failed and closed. People weren't into their strange politics so the bar went bankrupt. The good news is […]

Hi there, #HoosierMast. Your good pal Scotto is doing another weird thing! I'm making a movie! I have written a short (3-minute) movie to enter into an #Esperanto #FilmFestival. Filming will take place next weekend (Sept 4-6) around #LafayetteIN and #DaytonIN. Would you like a chance to act […]

No, I don't favor letting Laura Loomer use ICE to punish her intra-fascist enemies. But I do remember Yiannopoulos showing up to Berkeley threatening to publicly name and target undocumented students to encourage ICE to go after them... in order to whip up opposition to letting him speak...

I'm going to check my voter registration in my state. Indiana routinely mails out postcards they use to knock people off the voter rolls if they come back from the post office. I voted in the primary, so I should be safe, but you can never tell these days.

A little historical rhyme: First they came for the Latinos, but I didn't care, because I was the ICE commander. Then, they came for the used-up MAGA folks, but I didn't care, because I have no empathy. https://www.tmz.com/2026/08/28/milo-yiannopoulos-detained-ice/ Then, they come for the me […]
