An onion will do well for such a shift
In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

National Review accuses me of lying about the rise in maternal mortality since the end of Roe: "It turns out that maternal mortality rates declined in 2024 according to the CDC."
You absolute fucking tools, that's *national data*—take a look at what's happening in states where abortion is banned
I think it's equating 'not sunny' with things being terrible (accurate), and tying in the q conspiracy that Ds etc can control the weather.

BREAKING: Political funding from British citizens living abroad should be capped at about £300,000 a year and donations in cryptocurrency temporarily banned, a government review has recommended.
I'm not sure who said this but it bears repeating:
When you kick over a hornet's nest, the hornets decide when it is over.
