Inicio y final del Altazor de Huidobro. A casi un siglo sigue siendo extraordinario

Bari Weiss darling CBS's Peter Attia skipped out on visiting his baby son in the ICU so he could meet with Jeffrey Epstein.

How many times are we going to discover something about someone in conservative circles and think, "That would never make it out of a writers' room. It's too over-the-top."

Awful lot of older white academics would would rather have a convicted pedophile as a friend than a lefty as a colleague

Chart showing a more than 6x rise in ICE detention of children under the current administration

These kids should be going to school. Playing with their friends. Eating dinner with their families.

Detaining them is cruel and inhumane.

"An in-group whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside an out-group whom the law binds but does not protect" take to its fullest extreme.

The Economist coverage is grim but this is exactly how it should be reported.

Non-protesting dad just trying to hustle his kids, as young as 6mo, out of the neighborhood. ICE threw a flash-bang INTO HIS car, all 6 kids in the hospital now.

If anyone wondered how things turn against occupying armies there's a case study playing out in front of you.

Happy 25th birthday Wikipedia, you beautiful thing.

Where is the outrage about schools having to close now, due to ICE/CBP attacks (with no end in sight)? No concerns about learning loss? It’s bad to have to close for public health reasons, but not because our society is being ripped apart at the seams, and our government is attacking us?

Grok producing vile sexualized deepfakes of women and children isn’t an accident
www.cnn.com/2026/01/08/t...

ICE agents have shot at least nine other people just since September, killing one.

Under Trump, this violence is rewarded with fat bonuses and student loan forgiveness — while nurses, teachers, and everyone else struggles to get by.

We must never become numb to his cruelty.

The end goal of Grok sexual harassment is to make women afraid to be visible. It’s a punishment for daring to exist in a way the perpetrators can’t control. There’s no one solution to this, because the problem isn’t just technological. It’s cultural. It’s misogyny. This is just one expression of it.

This is a US government official calling for any US citizens who dissent from his immigration policy preferences, and "get in the way" of federal officers, to be executed by being shot in the face.

By "get in the way" he means: being present, unarmed, dissenting, & driving away, without attacking.

/3 (6) meanwhile they think anyone who posted Charlie Kirk’s own words to criticize him should be fired and (7) they know that’s inconsistent but they don’t care because consistency is weakness, because, again, shitty people with shitty values from a shitty culture.

/2 (4) Also they know that praising a murderer enrages and horrifies decent people and (5) they hate and resent decent people because they are shitty people with shitty values from a shitty culture and they know it

Trumpists will be giving the ICE murderer awards and recognitions and honors. That’s because (1) killing someone who thinks differently than they do is their fantasy (2) most of them are too spineless to do it but (3) by praising the murderer they can murder in a fantasy-league way

Elon Musk’s “Grok” is undressing women and showing them in swastika bikinis One woman targeted is a Jewish Holocaust survivor

BREAKING: X’s chatbot Grok isn’t just making AI porn deepfakes, it’s now making Nazi AI porn deepfakes, undressing women and showing them wearing “swastika bikinis”. Many of these women are Jewish, including a recently deceased Holocaust survivor.

AFAIK, in 200 years, only 3 times did a country elect someone who had attempted a coup:

- Louis Napoleon (France, 1848)
- Adolf Hitler (Germany, 1933)
- Hugo Chavez (Venezuela, 1998)

Each one became dictator. I think we will be the first exception, but it's not something you screw around with.

The fact that nothing is being done about this — and that people keep blithely hanging out on that site as though its owner and a key part of its official architecture aren’t actively enabling disgusting criminal abuse at scale — is making me lose my mind

Imagine looking at the period after WWII and especially after the Cold War as an era of American weakness.

Unless, I suppose, if becoming the strongest, wealthiest country in history sounds bad to you because some brown people were a part oft, and you'd rather be weaker if it means being whiter.

one takeaway from the grok noncon porn thing is that much of the media just isn't interested in an issue they can't pretend has two sides or that doesn't give them an opportunity to shit on the left. Also it would be uncomfortable to justify remaining on twitter after acknowledging it

ICYMI: Texas A&M admin is requiring a faculty member to either remove *Plato* from their syllabus for being too woke

Every time I hear folks complain that Livy is boring, I just shake my head.

Livy is fantastic. I just did a quick (partial) inventory of land allotments in Roman colonies, entirely from Livy who records the specific allotment sizes for at least 14 Roman colonial settlements in Italy.

Data!

This got buried at the end of some questions, but I did a rundown of at least part of *why* the Romans, during the Middle Republic, were so eager to expand the citizen-soldier-farmer (assidui) class, rather than jealously hoarding their prerogatives.

Naturally it has to do with taxes.

According to the German news magazine Der Spiegel & repeated here by Le Monde, the Trump administration has threatened to impose sanctions on the French judges handling the domestic criminal case against Marine Le Pen.

I’m not outraged; I’m enjoying imagining EU sanctions on Sam Alito.

The failure of our elites to hold Trump accountable for January 6th is as disgraceful as what happened on that awful day.

Since 2010, 35 democratic leaders around the world have been criminally convicted. Only Trump went unpunished and unconstrained.

Now he threatens democracy at home and abroad.

Así con Estados Unidos amenazando a quienes son, por tratado, sus aliados. Con amigos así...

Y no olvidar (no sé como la gente lo olvidó, pero eso es otra historia): Los Estados Unidos no son un país confiable y nada de lo q firmen tiene algún valor.

CIPER Chile:
En uno de los videos de los enfrentamientos de Claudio Crespo con la primera línea en 2019, un carabinero se acerca al exteniente coronel y le avisa que hay una persona que se está quemando. “Que se queme, el culiao. Que se queme. Qué te preocupai de hueás”, le responde Crespo.

El intelectual de derecha chileno mas anormal de todos los tiempos, que escribió un libro sobre como los nazis son en realidad comunistas, llego a la conclusión lógica de su anormalidad. PINOCHET ERA SOCIALISTA.
