My highest current life aspiration is to run tabletop games about pretending to be wizards.

If he's such a big man and believes what he says, why doesn't he promise, on the public record, to physically harm Mamdani himself? Instead of this pathetic attempt to stir up some stochastic attack against him by some rube?

Yes, Mr President.

A screenshoot of a lengthy Truth Social post by Donald Trump, with most of the words blacked out to only leave the message "bust a nut immediately"

Mamdani, meeting with Spanberger: "What's the matter? The CIA got you pushing too many pencils?"

But one of them are Real Americans who are made economically-anxious by textbooks saying the Civil War was about slavery and who deserve our attention, while the other is dumb woke kids seduced by a dangerous populist with promises of "helping them afford rent"

This 'new antisemitism' sounds terrible! We should round them all up and put them into some kind of camp so that they can't hurt us.

With the infiltration of AI-generated images into the sphere of political propaganda, be ready to see a doubling down on more stylised branding to stand out from the deluge of generic slop

He complains about Paris containing people of every religion and skin colour, while he allows half of all arthropod species on Earth to live in his house.

Today it's a speech that can be given by the eunuch Stephen Miller on the White House lawn.

We need mandatory remedial lessons on history for every adult because clearly if you don't smash their faces into it people start having absolutely no idea how awful the past was.

Paddy Henry, the Founding Father who coined the phrase 'Give me Liberty or give me Death', owned slaves, and didn't even free them in his will.

If I know my Chinese history, it's around this time that the hardy, brutal barbarians in the frozen north swoop down and replace the corrupt dynasty that has lost the Mandate of Heaven.

Miller probably holds Kirk in contempt, lowering himself to "debate" with the subhumans, even if it was just an exercise to milk content from them, when he could've been grabbing real power to crush them under his boot heels.

"I don't normally go in for this 'women's history' stuff, usually seems a bit woke to me, but it was readable, me reading it has shut my daughters up for a few weeks, and it's distracted me from the constant bleeding ulcer in my leg. 4/5 Stars"

At least North Korea has a lot of reasons for developing a victim complex. It's a closed-off international pariah that survives off of peddling drugs and being China's lapdog. America is like this while being a superpower with the international order predominantly structured around its existence.

It's social media. It's the leftist indoctrinating colleges. It's the videogames. It's the transgender roommate that doesn't exist. It's the people refusing to mourn like we demand them. It's anybody or anything that deflects from the far-right white Christian guy who pulled the trigger.

He was homeschooled by Mormons his entire life, but one semester at Utah State was enough to show him the light of Mao Zedong Thought

No, he was being asked if there were specifics on what the suspect said about Charlie Kirk in discussions with his family the shooting. He's stating that the suspect has just a vague dislike of Kirk, which doesn't exactly give him a reason to be calling him an indoctrinated leftist.

John Cthulhu @mark1automaton.bsky.social · Sep 14

Also, people are killed in mass shootings in America faster than people are psychologically capable of having empathy for them to the standard that conservatives are expecting people to show Kirk. It would be hard to even keep all their names in your head.

I'm pretty sure that for these guys "countless" means they ran out of fingers and toes to count on.

This might be another reason why conservatives hated the new Superman film. All the 'extras' in that film, from random civilians to Lex Luthor's minions, are treated as dynamic and animated people, as 'real' as Superman or Luthor. Not just cardboard cutouts to fill the background for the 'main cast'

John Cthulhu @mark1automaton.bsky.social · Sep 14

He was only doing it to farm content. Videos of him schooling 'stupid liberals' with Facts and Logic (i.e. rhetorical tricks and 'gotchas'). There was never any sincere admission that the other person might be right or has something worth learning, which is how a civil debate actually works.

The irony is that this suspect likely really hates Jews, so Netty B kinda lured himself into accidentally, for once, calling an actual antisemite antisemitic.

He was the face of the horse. Liberal pundits think he deserves respect because he didn't smell as bad as a horse's backside, as if it's possible to have one half of the horse and not the other.

John Cthulhu @mark1automaton.bsky.social · Sep 14

It has occurred to me that the far left has yet to replicate this tactic. Maybe centrist liberals would be accepting of a charismatic guy in a good suit who uses relatable language and civility to argue that landlords need to be mulched into compost.
