Greg Lukianoff & @glukianoff - 4h How do vou stay nonpartisan in a culture that demands you to take sides? You pick a principle and refuse to bend it. At @TheFIREorg that means defending speech regardless of who says it. Not when it's easy. Not when it's popular. Always. (Image is a cartoon bus crashing into a wall that is cracking and there’s dust clouds everywhere. looks fucking fatal as all hell)

idk man if i was trying to make my org look good i don’t think the image i would use is a bus hurtling into a concrete wall. not sure that conveys the message you’re intending there bud

Once again "the death of the West" meant "the death of my secret bank account."

found my new favorite wikipedia picture on an article

The average person doesn’t give a fuck if AI has some niche use where it actually excels if used properly. In fact, that is what a tool is *supposed* to do and none of us will have a problem if it is used like that. What we see is AI fucking up real life in a massive way.

Infowars is gay and proud (and we love that for them)

Infowars has officially gone woke

sure it's a tool of social control and surveillance owned and operated by fascists, but it writes work emails for me. on balance who's to say it's good or bad

But when we crave power over life—endless wealth, unassailable safety, immortality—then desire becomes greed. And if knowledge allies itself to that greed, then comes evil. Then the balance of the world is swayed, and ruin weighs heavy in the scale.

we call him human pet guy but he's actually OUR pet

Zoomer Antimillenarian @surcomplicated.bsky.social New asshole to block. Zoomer Antimillenarian @surcomplicated.bsky.social - 9m These guys already want us dead and have every intention of holding on through violence. And Caesar crossed the Rubicon because he was a criminal who kept repeatedly committing crimes and needed his military impunity to get away with it. Rome's mistake was not knifing him before he got a legion. TheCybersmith @thecybersmith.bsky.social • 14m What do you think the end result of rhetoric like this will be for your side? "Hey, just so you know, the moment you relinquish power to us, we'll kill or incarcerate you. Now, please relinquish power to us." This is why Caesar crossed the Rubicon. He would return to Rome as conquerer or prisoner. Ф 3 • 10 •.. TheCybersmith @thecybersmith.bsky.social - 7m Caesar was based and redpilled, and the small, petty, leftist scum who killed him are remembered only as traitors, cautionary tales of sin. So will you be. 01 Zoomer Antimillenarian @surcomplicated.bsky.social LMAO get rekt MAGA scum. You're about to watch Dear Leader blow up his regime thru sheer idiocy, and then you're going to watch a number of your based redpilled senpais who actually committed murders face capital trials, and lose. You should crawl back to Xitter while Elon still has his freedom.

Blue MAGA has discovered the cybersmith and: lol, lmao

The social media pivot from chronological timelines to popular-first was done at least partly to throttle real time organizing

seriously people who think biden or kamala wouldnt have taken us to war with iran the moment israel was ready to go are smoking some serious shit

Gil Duran tweet: TLDR: Fascism in response to Palantir's long fascists screed on X.

"Your Account is Suspended" Message on X

The CEO of Palantir posted a fascist manifesto on X.

I pointed out that it was fascist—which resulted in a permanent suspension from X (my second time!).

So, when you hear the tweeters complaining that BlueSky is intolerant, remember why many of us came here in the first place.

“I’d have voted for Obama a third time if I could” from “get out”

I’d vote for Kamala’s 3rd failed presidential bid if I could

the unaliving of a sacred deer

Popping up in the middle of your opponent's extremely unpopular war to make it clear you would have done the same thing

I can see why this guy was trusted with strategy decisions

Former Biden administration senior advisor Amos Hochstein says he supported last summer's Operation Midnight Hammer, in which the Trump administration struck Iran's nuclear facilities, because "we had thought internally in the Biden administration we may have to take [strikes] if there was a second term." "We did war games. We did some practice runs on what it would look like to look into it, because that may have had to happen under

Biden's point man on Lebanon and one of his overall most important advisor for MENA said yesterday morning that he agreed with Trump's strikes on Iran last year lol.

Democrats really need to reassess how people like this were (and still are) allowed to be at the top of their foreign policy echelon.

I swear there's no shittier game that was absolutely right than Assassin's Creed

This is how some worker at assorting facility is managing the stress to prevent themselves from “going postal”

horseshoe theory is real. leftists almost got kat abughazaleh elected into congress and now it comes out that her boyfriend owns infowars…

They are explicitly and specifically targeting people with long covid because, to put it bluntly, there's fuck all else available to us. MAHA decimated long covid research funding and now the grifters are swooping in....

narcissistic delusions of grandeur mostly

admitting that leftists are in fact very easily gettable voters and Republicans are never gettable voters would mean admitting they were wrong and this shit is their fault so we're going to sunk cost fallacy our way into the death spiral

that mentality is how you guys lost in 2024

I think Bukowski said there's guys who would rather be CEO of Exxon than fire bomb a gas station, but failing the former they'd settle for the latter.
I guess this is the inverse of that.

it’s a great day for transphobes to eat shit

why do things like this never happen to me

The Infowars news is funny, yes. But more importantly, it is an outright rebuke of Alex Jones' evil.

It's testament to the strength and resilience of the Sandy Hook families who survived this bullshit for more than a decade as well as the Onion, which didn't give up on this for the last 18 months.
