The most divorced men in history The resentment of women that undergirds so much recklessness.

Taking a break today from posting about concentration-camp matters for the newsletter, I wrote instead about a sociological study that might shed light on the Trump administration's reckless violence and the loyalty of his most diehard supporters.

In San Francisco for GDC. Basically every billboard is for AI, and here by the hotels every tenth car is a Waymo. I feel like I’ve entered the Broligarchy’s boss level.

Because it’s unethical to use it at all. We don’t need to find the use cases for this incredibly destructive tech, we do in fact need to ban it.

Ah, I didn’t think of that! Oh, wellβ€”I’ve still got the Clash for Eternia castle. 😊

Anyone who would say this AFTER bombing school children needs to be in jail for the rest of his life for our collective safety.

I know it’s not likely, but it sure would be a great idea to make sure he dies penniless in jail, just to make him less of a role model for the next giant POS to become POTUS.

"And now, doctor, if you would be so kind," Holmes began, gesturing me towards the corpse. "There is a bit of string hanging from the lip of the deceased. Give it a stout tug, good fellow, and all elements of our mystery will be revealed."

Chris, are you having a stroke?

If you have the means, please donate to the Trans Continental Pipeline right now. They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate and they are overwhelmed with requests. Colorado borders Kansas, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out.

I like to remind people that if a trans woman had ever assaulted a cis woman in a public bathroom, even once, they would be a household name by now, because the TERFs would never talk about anything else.

With all due respect, Senator, this is something you would post about a normal president, and doing so normalizes the pedophile Nazi crook. Please pick one of his atrocities and talk about it.

The story of the Epstein files is the story of how, with enough money, you can get away with our most reviled crimes.

The LESSON of the Epstein files is that no one should be allowed to have that much money.

No, Governor, this is how they censor the whole internet, for everyone. Please reconsider.

"Sir, we can't. The Supreme Court won't allow it," breathed Tom, sweat beading the powerful arms that had conquered steel, shaping with only the force of his hammer.
"They already gave me immunity," said the President, pulling Tom in closer.

Nazis are made to be punched. Nazis are white supremacists, misogynists, and fascists. No other options. There are no Nazi philosophers. No Nazi artists. Sadly, there are a lot of Nazi billionaires, and that’s why we keep having to hear their repellent views.

I wonder what the correlation is between having racial bias and violence. Care to look into it, Heritage?

I don’t know that I can answer this, but I will say what his finest lyric is:

I’m trying to dial back on social media, and I’ll probably delete all my accounts eventually.

…but not until It Happens. I want to be part of that moment and burn it into my memory. 😊

When Ds are back in charge, they have to change everything. No moderate half-measures. Just relentless razing of the corrupt institutions that enriched the worst people in the world and propped up fascism.

A few suggestions...

I have a very simple and straightforward two-step plan to Save The Video Game Industry:

Step 1: Globally eliminate the concept of a classed society and redistribute all surplus resources among the populace, permanently enshrining social ownership of the means of production.

Step 2: Ridge Racer 8.

I will not support any funding deal that puts money in the hands of Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, and this violent agency. Defund and abolish ICE now.

Chuck, common sense might observe that body cameras aren’t much of a deterrent for monsters who film themselves committing murder. Abolish ICE. Also, resign.

If you campaigned for the presidency on a promise to destroy these assholes, you would win a landslide the size of FDR in 1936, when he campaigned on a promise to destroy these assholes.

USian trans people aren't telling you they won't vote for Gavin Newsom to cause you distress and despair.

USian trans people are telling you they won't vote for Gavin Newsom so you don't vote for his transphobic ass in the primaries.

They are giving you actionable information.
