I’m of the opinion that they can’t criticize Mike for working at Walmart, because it was only due to their unwillingness to firebomb it that Mike was able to get the job in the first place. It’s really their fault if you think about it.

There are already AI Trump videos out there, and the fleshy version can’t tell they aren’t him. There’ll be videos of him endorsing every candidate and their mother. (And probably videos of him doing other things to every candidate, if AI videos aren’t regulated.)

Michael Paulauski♨️ @mike10010100.com · 1h

This is going to immediately fall apart the moment AI Trump endorses everyone involved and parrots conflicting viewpoints because *every candidate is going to be running their own instance*.

I resent knowing that the Furby equivalent of a selkie exists. That said, I shall coin the term “Furkie”, to describe them, not to be confused with the poultry substitute.

M.O.D.O.X. @modox613.bsky.social · 29m

I believe that term refers to someone who sprouts an organic rocket booster out of their back. Long term symptoms and/or treatments are still being researched.

The calls for October 18 all over the world are requiring some tweaks, given the local circumstances. Spain:

“About this event
Please join Americans and allies in Madrid, Spain for a NO TYRANTS protest on Saturday, October 18th. We've communicated our concentración to the authorities as taking place in Puerta del Sol from 12-1:30pm. More information to come as it's confirmed!
Note We are branding this rally as "No Tyrants".
Please do not bring any signage against kings to the rally.”

important note from libcrusher:

Reactivating temporarily to send a warning.
Since I got doxxed, it appears the same doxxing ring has targeted several other users. I learned that they were banned this week, only for Elon to, apparently, personally unban them. I feel obliged to warn everyone about my experience.

It wasn't just my personal information that got published. Someone, somewhere, got my passwords too. For my banking accounts, brokerage accounts, venmo, etc.
Most of which had different and unique passwords. All these attempts started the day i got doxxed, and have sporadically continued since.

If you know anyone who's been doxxed by this group, you need to have them change all their passwords on every website immediately. Ensure 2FA and any other security measures are in place everywhere.
And, wherever possible, document and report it. Frankly, if you're a lefty of any note, do it now too

If anyone was also a victim of this or knows someone who was, there are ways to reach me. I wish I could go into more details right now. But until that time comes, protect yourself.

I will be deactivating in 20 minutes.
Hopefully, that's enough time for the warning to get out.

There were also some groups that claimed they wanted a ceasefire but named their rallies, “Flood ____ for Palestine,” a direct reference to, “Al Aqsa Flood“ (the October 7 massacre). Then they screamed, “globalize the intifada,” at their rallies, which is the opposite of a call for peace. So…

Interesting. I remember people being called antisemites for posting hang glider memes celebrating the Nova Festival massacre, calling for people to support “Palestinian resistance efforts” on October 8, 2023, and vandalizing Jewish institutions. Not so much for calling for a ceasefire.

Sherrilyn Ifill @sifill.bsky.social · 2d

I can’t help but think today about how many young people were savaged on social media, branded as anti-semites and abandoned by their schools for daring to call for a ceasefire. I remember saying that it was the first time I can remember that calling for ceasefire was regarded as a hostile demand.

Mike Johnson on the No Kings Protests: “The Hate America rally that'll happen Saturday…I bet you see pro-Hamas supporters. I bet you you see Antifa types. I bet you see the Marxist in full display, the people who don't want to stand and defend the foundational truths of this republic.”

Dimension 20 does this well (I feel like I’m praising them too much, but it’s true). One of the members of the party is a wizard in training from a rich family. When she gets disowned due to the events of the campaign, she can’t afford spell components anymore and her magic studies suffer.

After careful study and deliberation, I have determined that, “Jews invented time travel,” is the attempt to believe, “Jews killed Jesus,” and, “Christianity is older than Judaism,” at the same time. Further insights into the diseased brains of antisemites will come as they arise.

This line of questioning should continue until every single member of the government has had their records scoured and all the Nazis have been purged (until at least thousands are fired I will doubt the results). Extra scrutiny should be applied to anyone Trump and Elon brought on.

I think every time any Trump official claims they’re fighting antisemitism, the response should be, “do you think your administration can effectively fight antisemitism while posting antisemitic slurs on official government social media accounts?”

I just checked and this is real. It's on Border Patrol's official Instagram (I don't see it on Facebook) and is being celebrated by Nazis on Twitter, as you can see in the screenshot.

The clip is just 13 seconds long too, so it's a very intentional thing. We've got a Nazi government.

We offer comprehensive emotional regulation classes as soon as a child can form words, and teach them to see using the Force. While some people are skeptical of our methods, a single Jedi Knight can cut down a small army of droids without needing to use a blaster. Our results are unquestionable.

Does your teenager have anger management issues? Well, it’s too late for them. Send us a newborn, and we’ll make sure they never feel anything, and give them high levels of combat training and telekinesis.

Don’t Force our hand. Sign your baby up for Jedi training. The Light Side is the right side.

2) “Jews are rootless cosmopolitans who steal other people’s culture,” was a talking point used by the actual Nazis, and swapping out “Jew“ for “Israeli” doesn’t change that.
3) This meme in particular was created and spread by actual neo-Nazis online, and JVGraz is a Holocaust denier.

1) Insofar as Israeli cuisine resembles other countries’, it’s because those countries expelled their local Jews who just continued to eat what they already did (so it’s punching down, not up).

Since we’re on the topic, I find the “food is cultural appropriation“ crowd to be even more insufferable than the “eating meat is worse than the Holocaust” crowd.
