Substack is the one that recently featured Andrew Tate right?

I reiterate it is **impossible** to be both Catholic and oppose the Pope. If you don’t submit, you aren’t Catholic. It’s been that way for… some time now 🙄

The fact that evangelicals were okay with Trump threatening to destroy an entire civilization but drew the line at a picture of him as Jesus tells you everything you need to know about modern Christian morality.

For many years people have avoided fucking corpses. Jeffrey Dahmer is taking a different approach.

a lot of people whose work I like is substack, and they'll never get a dime from me until they move somewhere else.

IBM just paid a fine for DEI “concerns” it denies having engaged in.

Meanwhile…

Absolute same!

Trump is now *so* backed into a corner politically that he may be on the verge of triggering a hot WWIII solely to “justify” suspending elections.

How is China going to respond when an American warship sinks a civilian vessel with their citizens on it?

It is literally now impossible to be a Catholic and support Donald Trump. Literally impossible.

Opposition leader Péter Magyar at a rally.

Orbán's electoral crushing is a far greater achievement than most people outside Hungary realise.

He systemically consolidated power for 16 years, fixed the electoral map, abused govt power for political purposes & censored media.

The hurdles that Hungarians overcame for this moment were immense.

Pay Ben Kuchera using PayPal.Me Go to paypal.me/benkuchera and type in the amount. Since it’s PayPal, it's easy and secure. Don’t have a PayPal account? No worries.

I feel horrible, but I have $5 in the bank and don't have gas money to make it to my work meeting tomorrow, nor groceries, electric bill is late and about to shut off, and I'm behind as hell. I need $1k to be in the clear, but ANYTHING helps.

Venmo is @BenKuchera
PayPal is paypal.me/benkuchera

jd vance international tour of humiliation continues. visit pakistan and leave with the strait more closed than it was before. visit hungary and watch orban get posterized.

If I want Americans to take one lesson from Hungary it’s this: you can win even IF the system is rigged against you. Fascism is so fundamentally weak that it can be beaten with even limited democracy.

Aren’t Stand Your Ground laws built for ICE? If you’re an American citizen and they target you, why is it illegal to defend yourself?

#NRA #2A

They lined up behind America like so many other great nations after 9/11.

Not more than a decade later they’d usher in Orbán and his autocracy.

My faith in humanity still has not recovered.

I visited Hungary with a scholarship class in 2002. It was so full of hope, so happy to be moving into a new era. It’s such a beautiful place, and the people were equally beautiful, kind and friendly. They lit up every time one of us said, “köszönöm”.

“Let me clear: While I have deep ties to a certain affluent individual and secret societies involved in pedophilia, I never once sexually harmed children anywhere near Jeffrey Epstein,” said the outraged first lady

I am absolutely not ready for #Colbert to be off the air. He’s gotten us through so much.

Saying “this is not a paywall” when you try to prevent me from reading your content unless I sign up doesn’t actually mean it isn’t a paywall. It is. You want my email address. That’s your payment.

If you said that, I might give it. But you say, “this is not a paywall.” So fuck you

When US systems really start failing I want a camera on the President when he hears the words, “you got rid of trans people and they were the ones keeping it all running.”

They know. That’s why they do it. It’s a feature, not a bug.

the strait of hormuz is in a quantum superposition of open and closed that only collapses when you try to take a tanker through yourself and see if you get shot at

As of now, we are “post Law” in this country.

- The electoral college was supposed to prevent a Trump
- Congress was supposed to approve a cabinet that would stand up to Trump
- The cabinet was supposed to stand up to Trump
- Congress was supposed to impeach and remove a Trump
- The Constitution says a Trump (insurrectionist) can’t be President

I know people here look down on Mastodon but this is absolutely how I feel rn

Have the people who couldn’t bring themselves to vote for Kamala learned anything?

Despair is what they want.

Dems literally *cannot* stop the war on their own. GOP controls Congress and they’re doing everything they can to ignore Dems entirely.

The situation sucks. But we can’t despair. It’s a short hop to giving up.

The fact journalists just went along with the term “prediction market” tells you everything you need to know about the state of journalism.
