Darryl Cooper, a Holocaust revisionist, appeared again on Tucker Carlson's show with a strange claim: that after the Revolution, Bolsheviks erected a statue of Judas Iscariot as part of their campaign of religious persecution. He claims they did so in Moscow. A thread.

can you guys retire "the right wing / chuds don't know what to do with trans men and forget they exist and will be So Confused by them!!!!" already. they are fully aware trans men exist and the thing they do to trans men is violently abuse and murder them

Kevin is not exaggerating, VDARE was not white nationalist in the sense of "well if you get right down to it the modern GOP has always been white nationalist" VDARE was white nationalist in the sense of "yeah those Nazis sure are white nationalist"

Gonna go out on a limb here and say racist cranks who write for extremist white nationalist websites like VDARE should not, in fact, be confirmed to top roles in the Department of Justice.

Taking my time to really listen and learn from the very valid concerns of the MAHA movement:

we should hear MAHA out about this they might be onto something

To be clear, everyone who legitimized Tucker as a more high functioning sort of White Christian Nationalist contributed to this outcome. Stop fucking handing it to him.

I’d say this is gonna be a hell of a GOP civil war but honestly it seems equally likely that everyone just abandons Vance because of how deeply unlikeable he is. Hell I could see Trump stumping for Tucker based purely on Trump’s track record regarding loyalty to his VPs.

This feels like the very predictable outcome of Tucker Carlson's anti-Trump pivot: he's doing it to run in 2028.

The rumors are true. Stand by for more.

It is 2006. I am 22. The US is mired in a costly Forever War. A predictable historic market collapse looms. I do not have health insurance. It is 2026. I am 42. The US is mired in a costly Forever War. A predictable historic market collapse looms. I do not have health insurance.

The Neurath-Horkheimer Debate

Marxism has a serious tradition of anti-positivism.  As far as I’m concerned the big names here are Lenin, Lukacs, and Horkheimer.  Horkheimer is, to my knowledge, distinguished fro…

I kinda like the idea of Trump as someone controlled by Pinky and the Brain where, like, the joke is that the scheme keeps succeeding wherever Pinky gets control and does something Brain thinks utterly absurd, because it turns out Pinky really Connects With The Base.

BISHTOONS@bishtoons.bsky.social · 2d ago

Recently, someone asked online if Pinky and the Brain were still trying to take over the world… because they thought that they could do a better job than a certain orange felon. That prompted me to share this cartoon that I drew years ago.

Relatedly I think Switzerland manages to combine Italian efficiency with German aesthetics.

Everywhere should be a hostile place for Republicans. They should not be able to find a friend anywhere. They should lose all their professional and familial relationships. They should be blocked from signing up to social media platforms, clubs, and yard sales. They should be ejected from fairs.

Towering over them all is the Morton Salt Girl and she is dancing, her smol feet lively and quick, huge and pale and hairless, like an enormous infant. She dances in light and in shadow and she is a great favorite. She never sleeps, the girl. She is dancing, dancing. She says that she will never die

Bet you didn't know that the Little Morton Salt Girl is an immortal being who existed before there was life on Earth.

During the NEP, when Mensheviks claimed that, since the Bolsheviks had adopted their policies, now the two could work together, Lenin commented that those Mensheviks should be put to death. Not to endorse Lenin, but I do think that we shouldn't be in a particularly conciliatory mood.

There is pervasive corruption across our healthcare and agricultural systems that defy party lines. I meet with MAHA activists because a lot of their concerns are bipartisan issues that major corporations paint as partisan. The fight isn't left and right, it's top and bottom.

this is actually the wife-beatingest reply possible. this is the platonic ideal of how a guy who beat his wife would respond to a question about beating his wife.
