Ok, without Fred Warner (now being carted off the field with a foot injury) the #49ers season might just be over. Jenga piece (as Dave Dameshek would say).

Hate hate hate to see that for Warner. He’s been playing out of his mind this year (as always).

After seeing the Seahawks & Rams win and the Cardinals lose, now hoping the #49ers can pull an upset against the Bucs.

This one will come down to the Defense picking off one of Baker's more reckless throws, and Mac Jones being functional (again), I think.

Really strong writing reminding us that human virtues are opposite to the fascist project.

Embrace silliness and bravery, diversity and joy, and other virtues. If many more can do that, humanity can prevail.

A.R. Moxon @juliusgoat.bsky.social · 16h

I wrote about a new Nazi party that seeks to criminalize all human virtue, and how that means that human virtue is the greatest weapon against the new Nazi project.

The Crime of Human Virtue

Sometimes it really is as simple as good vs. evil. This is one of those times. Human virtue is our great crime against the fascist project; it's also our great weapon against it.

„Als theologische Antwort auf den Faschismus entwickelte Niebuhr zu seiner Zeit den Christlichen Realismus, der – anders als der Pazifismus – die Realität des Bösen ernstnehmen, aber auch die Verstrickungen des eigenen Machtstrebens kritisch reflektieren sollte.“

Also basically Luthertum, oder?

Pope Leo quotes Hannah Arendt:

“The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction and the distinction between true and false no longer exist."

As always: Jets pass up the fourth-and-1, have to go for it on fourth-and-8.

Bill Barnwell @billbarnwell.com · 16h

"Gotta play the field position game!" and then the Broncos immediately march downfield to get back where the Jets punted. When your defense has been terrible all season, counting on it to keep playing well because they have so far is really short-sighted.

Es ist höchst performativ. Wen spricht das denn an? Doch meistens diejenigen, die nach öffentlichen Zeichen ihres Christentums suchen, und das ist die "in-group".

Wer wirklich Suchende ansprechen will, wird das nicht mit der Frage "Wo Ewigkeit?" erreichen.

I love how the big news on Trump’s tariff announcement is how moments before he made it a bunch of people made insanely profitable shorts on crypto, a thing that Bitcoin Bros are all astounded to see happening in a completely unregulated market of a fake currency primarily used by criminals.

BREAKING: Look at this.

A new crypto account was opened yesterday morning.

30 minutes BEFORE Trump's announcement of 100% tariffs on China, it added a huge multi-million dollar levered Bitcoin short position, per YF.

The market dumped.

The trader made a profit of $192 million in two hours.

Unusual.

JUST IN: An anonymous trader opened massive crypto short positions just 30 minutes before Trump’s tariff announcements yesterday.

They made an estimated $192M in profits.

Donald Trump needs to go to jail. He is thief, he is literally robbing people internationally.

He announced 100% Tarrifs on China and sends the US stock market into a death spiral.

At the same time someone put over 1 Billion dollars into crypto with orders for 100 million being placed on Ethereum and Bitcoin and other crypto currencies across the board whilst markets got wiped after what he said. Billions, and I mean fucking billions got wiped out, whilst Bitcoin had it a biggest dip ever in a single candle losing 20k per Bitcoin, Whilst alt coins lost over 60-70% of value, everyone with leverage on the market with even 2 x leverage got murdered and robbed.

This was co ordinated, this was market manipulation with one anonymous wallet making over 200 million dollars in one day with trades showing that they knew Trump was going to announce this and crash the market.

This week, MAGA figures claimed Kristi Noem "stared down" violent antifa protesters in Portland. Turns out they were talking mostly about a guy in a chicken suit.

This episode opens a window into how MAGA propaganda works and MSM failure to handle it. 1/

MAGA Implodes over Kristi Noem’s “Stare Down” with Man in Chicken Suit

A good New York Times piece on Portland nevertheless demonstrates how the conventions of objective reporting fail to accurately capture the bad faith driving pro-Trump propaganda.

Federal agents aren’t trying to keep the peace. They want violence to escalate so that Trump can declare martial law.

They shot a reverend in the head with pepper balls while he was praying in front of an ICE facility. If that doesn’t tell you where we are as a country, nothing will.
