After prolonged exposure to Jordan Peterson, the black mold is deep in alt-right Reddit groups, and negging women in TikTok comments because it's a "High Quality Mold"

Long story short, an actual Nazi doxxing ring. Enough people reported them that they went away for like 12 hours and then Elon personally brought them back. The site is dead. If you’re still on there, go lock your account right now

It feels very weird to have such an absolute lad as Pontiff. Like a Pope you know has gone to town on a big thing of wings.

RFK Jr is going to be responsible for millions of deaths. So you absolutely do not have to excuse the behavior of someone who enabled and defended him.

Everyone in my feed is shitting on Nuzzi. Meanwhile, the other person in the saga is now destroying the medical community and endangering public health.

But let’s slut shame Nuzzi.

Currently on a flight to Japan watching a Pentagon Assistant Press Secretary (Riley Podleski) work on a document in the open on her laptop. She spent the last hour copy and pasting headlines from articles critical of the Administration’s hostility toward the 1st amendment.

There is a bunch of unprecedented stuff about this shutdown - turning public resources like airports or govt employees into partisan tools, the blatant lying about what is happening - but the worst is using the shutdown to engage in ideological targeting. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-shutdo...

Trump has been quite upfront about using the shutdown as an opportunity to engage in score-settling. When asked about the first wave of layoffs, Trump said “It will be Democrat-oriented...They should be Democrat-oriented.” When warning about a second wave of layoffs he left no doubt: “we’re closing up programs that are Democrat programs that we’re opposed to. And they’re never going to come back, in many cases…We’re not closing up Republican programs.”
