“six rifle platoons worth of cops all jerking each other off because they were afraid of going after some dipshit teen with a rifle? Smells like bitch to me”
They were very upset.

look everyone who agrees to serve in the Trump administration gets what they signed up for but it's wild how unsubtle the pattern of firing is even among the select pool of talentless synchophantic goons
excited for Trump's next SecLabor nominee, a pinkerton's loose glock
otoh it's nice to see people reading, following Dylan (now, it'd be nicer if they were nice people, but)
I don’t necessarily think that it’s useful for serious political figures to endeavor to fully dissolve — as opposed to regulate and constrain — corporate entities, but I’d make an exception for Palantir. It cannot coexist with liberal democracy and it openly says so
Nothing to manosphere but manosphere itself
Lori Chavez-Deremer is resigning and since I am one of a handful of people directly responsible for setting into motion a series of events that led to her becoming Labor Secretary, I am feeling good about her total collapse and sad flight home to Clackamas County.

NEW: How exactly has Alex Jones avoided paying the Sandy Hook families a single dime of what he owes?

Every so often when I pick up @morecivilized.bsky.social, @robzacny.bsky.social cites Grand Blog Tarkin before going into the ways Star Wars does and doesn't take the war part seriously. What a legacy, what a good little blog that was.

"how to get along with people who annoy me even when we agree" is in certain spaces a solved problem but not everyone can be forged in those committees over decades
western civilization is many things but it's not not stilted academics stirred to action finally overthrowing the power-mad industrial upstart that aligned with pure evil for malicious reasons.
going to invent EntSec where academic botanists grow gundams to hunt down Palantir execs

I think l by 2005 or 6 I had a textbook with 9/11 in it (a psych textbook but still). Felt like history moves into text fast!

20. The pervasive intolerance of religious belief in certain circles must be resisted. The elite's intolerance of religious belief is perhaps one of the most telling signs that its political project constitutes a less open intellectual movement than many within it would claim.
This bullet point from Alex Karp/Palantir’s latest diatribe strikes me as the best representation of the whole project.
“The elite’s intolerance of religious beliefs…”
Let me stop you right there, Alex. You just made that up. That isn’t a thing in 2026 America.
New Mexico recorded 89 pedestrian deaths in 2025, down from 102 in 2024 and the lowest total since the pandemic hit in 2020.

Years ago @mikeduncan.bsky.social told me "you can rewrite shit but you can't rewrite nothing" and it's made every draft easier since.
