Every time someone makes me read something Peter Thiel said it’s like “Scrooge McDuck is Jesus Christ and Huey, Dewey, and Louie are Gabriel, Raphael, and Uriel and Daisy is Mary Magdalene and that’s why women voting has lowered American sperm count.”

George started as a spin doctor in politics, if anyone knows a bunch of BS being spouted to distract and deflect, it's him. I hope he starts doing more of this!!

if we'd treated their obvious baldfaced lies and deflections more like this over the past eight years maybe we wouldn't be in this situation

shocking how easy it is when you actually see it done

STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time.

VANCE: No, George, I sai--

STEPHANOPOULOS: We'll be right back

Salvation Army seen feeding ICE today. For anyone who doesn't already know about their bigotry, here is more, No need to give them your money this Christmas, or ever.

It’s dinner time for the police. Appears to be pizza from a Salvation Army van.

The fact that Woody Allen outlived Diane Keaton feels so unfair, but also confirms my belief that evil people live forever 🤮

ok so I have been alive for half a century and I can tell you with 100% certainty that prices never, ever go down - ESPECIALLY when a lot of people lose their jobs.

This is a lie rich people make up to keep the rest of us from dragging them into the streets

Carl Quintanilla @carlquintanilla.bsky.social · 4d

ANDREESSEN: Even if AI ends up destroying all the jobs, “the result would be hyper-deflation of prices, which is the thing that people miss. .. Things that today cost a lot of money will all of a sudden be cheap or free.”

I asked you if you do 🤣 I really don't care to discuss covid safety with people who don't mask in public 🤷‍♀️

She does more to keep the air healthy and prevent disease while taking her mask off once or twice in five years than people who don't wear one at all. It's a net positive. It's weird that you care so much if you're not also protecting others against disease.

Kendry Bird of the Endless (she/her) @kendrybird.bsky.social · 5d

I still wear a mask 99.999999% of the time 🤷‍♀️ The gotcha ain't getting. We are still living a net positive by being careful, protecting our health, and promoting clean air and disease prevention for others lol

Trying to "gotcha!" Someone maybe not wearing a mask once or twice in the last 5 years doesn't work when your ass is constantly breathing all over everyone. I took my mask off for a sinus procedure, my driver's license photo, a photo w Tom Sturridge wearing my crown, and probably a few other times

The way the internet will show up and show out to talk shit the second anyone mentions @taylorlorenz.bsky.social is honestly so funny. Which part are you scared about? A woman calling out corruption, or the fact that she doesn't pretend covid is a cold? 🙄 Outta my mentions w/that lol

Do you mask in public?

Fantastic write up, with some great perspective. Guess I'm going to have to give in and get Substack, especially since I miss hearing your opinions on Keep It!

I think people take for granted the ability to post freely on the internet. Our ability to do so is endangered. Social media isn't going away but the powers that be are hyper focused on making it an echo chamber

Wearing a mask might be one of the few ways to have some anonymity in public in the technocrat surveillance hellscape of tomorrow.

It really is staggering to see so many people willing to abandon our 249 year experiment in democracy for an increasingly unstable criminally convicted reality show charlatan.
