I've said this before, but one of the more striking things about the current generation of righties is that they really show no sign of understanding that there's a world *beyond* their screens, beyond owning & being owned on social media. A real world, with real people & real problems.

Eric Trump: "We're saving Christianity. We've saving God. We've saving the family unit. We're saving this nation. I mean, DEI is out of the window, Benny. You no longer have Colin Kaepernick kneeling for the national anthem. You no longer have Budweiser going woke as hell. All of this is dead."

If a person looks at it with any sense, Netanyahu and Trump played a game with the hostages lives this last year so they both can be seen as heroes in the negotiated plan for their release. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Pamela Parkington @bigdogmomthree.bsky.social · 2d

It wasn't even his, it was Biden's and Blinken's negotiated plan.

When this shit show is over, there's a ton of accountability that needs to be done.

People better get right with their lord, because the end is not going to be pretty.

it's an auteur movie about the awesomeness of 1930s newspaper comics that was marketed as a BATMAN/T2-style summer blockbuster. With original songs by Stephen Sondheim

“‘It breaks your heart,’ Bart Giamatti said. ‘It is designed to break your heart.’ I love that quote, but I’ve never really believed it. Yes, baseball will break your heart — but baseball is designed to give you hope. Spring training will come again.”

Baseball Will Break Your Heart

But, even though it doesn't always feel that way, its real design is to make you believe again.

will honestly never get over how this election basically swung on the series of yard signs that were TRUMP GOOD THING
KAMALA BAD THING

Denny Carter @dennycarter.bsky.social · 5d

The “swing” voter in Pennsylvania who googled “Trump Kamala economy” the day before the election did not know Russ Vought and Stephen Miller would function as the president. I think about that every day.

did peter thiel genuinely manage to hybridise roko's basilisk and the evangelical christian god in his own brain? is that what happened to him? that would genuinely explain a lot, honestly

George Pearkes @peark.es · 5d

I couldn't believe this but it's true, Thiel can't decide whether the antichrist is Greta or Big Yud. Positively reeling.

(Washington Post) -- Tech billionaire Peter Thiel recently warned that Swedish activist Greta Thunberg and critics of technology or artificial intelligence are "legionnaires of the Antichrist" in private lectures on Christianity that connected government oversight of Silicon Valley to an apocalyptic future, according to recordings reviewed by The Washington Post.
In the four, roughly two-hour lectures, which began last month and culminated Monday at the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco, Thiel laid out his religious views to a sold-out audience told to keep the contents "off-the-record," according to an event listing. He argued that those who propose limits on technology development not only hinder business but threaten to usher in the destruction of the United States and an era of global totalitarian rule, according to the recordings.
"In the 17th, 18th century, the Antichrist would have been a Dr. Strangelove, a scientist who did all this sort of evil crazy science," Thiel said in his Sept. 15 opening talk, according to the recordings. "In the 21st century, the Antichrist is a Luddite who wants to stop all science. It's someone like Greta or Eliezer," he said, referring to Thunberg and Eliezer Yudkowsky, a prominent critic of the tech industry's approach to AI.
