ICE tear gassed a bunch of children on Saturday. This was a massive escalation of force. They were shooting tear gas at the back of the crowd, it took these unmasked people maybe 3-5 minutes in the cloud of tear gas to escape in without trampling.

something that really took me aback this past year was normie boomers being more likely to give me interviews after they glimpsed a gas mask in my backpack. they'd warm right up to me like "ah yes here's a good kid right here"

the wildest thing is right-wingers acting like minnesotans in videos must be outside agitators when we can all hear their accents. i don't think i could do that accent convincingly if i spent a year practicing. and neither would i wish to. have you heard that shit? craziest american accent

i think it is ok to reiterate that the victim as a us citizen. yes, noncitizens are equally entitled to human rights. but also, it's important to illustrate how ice isn't about immigration at all

2025-12-10 03:22:01 GMT

It's fucking crazy to me that Keith Olbermann is out here posting about Olivia Nuzzi like "haha funny thing, I used to date her, it's crazy" as if this current shitshow has nothing to do with him.

2025-11-22 18:33:20 GMT

something i'll note is that if nuzzi ran catch-and-kill ops for rfk jr and lizza knew this prior to him being appointed as HHS, and instead of telling anyone, he decided to save it for his substack long after rfk jr had made communicable disease into federal policy, that's completely fucked

this is a good thread but I might actually take it further -- I don't think manosphere shit is actually about getting laid, I think it's literally about male loneliness, by which I mean, men addressing their loneliness via homosocial bonding through misogyny

let me throw some fuel on the fire that is the discourse about boys getting laid!!! current-day manopshere content is not good at getting boys laid and that's an effect of the incentives at play. you cannot build an audience of resentful little virgins if you succeed at helping them to have sex

I would call myself a professional pessimist and "extremely depressed about the future" but god, please stop going into people's mentions to tell them that the law/courts no longer matter or post "AND YOU'RE SURPRISED???" at them, especially so if they are actively engaged in making the world better

Bluesky's userbase tilts pretty far towards liberals (gonna count progs as libs, but apologetically and with all due respec). But to everyone calling this place an outlier / echo chamber let me give you some admittedly unscientific anecdata:

2025-04-28 18:07:16 GMT

One of the funniest things about the oligarch group chats story is the implication that the story leaked now due to the chats falling apart from Trump tarriffs. Like people are getting disappeared and the president's son is "joking" about no elections in 2028 but it was tarriffs that triggered them
