The only things I know about Piker is that he compared Taiwan to the confederacy and talked to customs/border patrol at an airport for a long time without asking for a lawyer, neither things are very wise

I learned of Hasan Piker's existence because a bunch of trust fund Leftists kept insisting that I already knew who he was

What do you call it when the federal government secedes from the union?

Lindsay Beyerstein@beyerstein.bsky.social · 5d ago

I can't stress enough what a crisis this is. Trump's own intelligence agencies concluded that Iran attacked Minnesota's critical infrastructure and Trump is saying that it's Minnesota's own fault and denying it was Iran. The federal government won't defend blue states in a literal war.

Every time I across one of these I watch the entire thing three times in a row

In case people aren’t familiar with the case, Mary Phagan was killed in a factory in Atlanta in 1915 and the factory owner, Leo Frank who was Jewish was convicted of her murder despite a ton of evidence that he was innocent. He was lynched and this was a major factor in the revival of the Klan.

Samantha Burns@cheesecakechik.bsky.social · 4mo ago

@/southernfrieddave.bsky.social this is incredibly self-explanatory for anyone who knows the name Mary Phagan but TLDR; Leo Frank truther

Cenk Uygur blames Israel for the Graham Platner rape accusation and negative Trump stories. "Our media in America is basically run by Israel, so when I see tons of attacks at the same against anyone, whether it's Graham Platner or it's Trump, it usually means the Israeli lobby's pissed..."

A fantastic essay that really captures why I was so moved by Nolan’s Odyssey.

Dr. Vaughn Joy@gvaughnjoy.bsky.social · 2w ago

I wasn't planning to see The Odyssey because I was so mad about how egregiously Nolan explored similar themes in Oppenheimer, but my best friend (a Classics prof) encouraged me to see it, and I'm so glad she did. I loved it, and I finally realized why I hated Opp so much, so I wrote about both:
