I don’t want to brag but someone just tweeted at me that I’m getting weirder and weirder and I was kind of honored?

My occasional prod to say I wrote a book of short horror stories, and they're really fucking good (said by other people with inarguably exceptional taste)

Shitty people get what's coming to 'em. But also, cannibalism! Ghost children! Revenge! Grave robbing! You know, the fun stuff.

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett is justifiably upset about the release of the Epstein Files. She seems to insinuate that they have been scrubbed to remove any mention of Trump.

“Their scheme is going to be to make sure that he’s protected from all of his dirtiest secrets from being revealed.”

Good trouble, a young lady starts reading some Charlie Kirk’s quotes to MAGA Congressmen who had his pictures outside of their office.

“I saw you guys had a Charlie Kirk picture outside so I thought I’d read you some of his quotes ….”

Twitter now displays where accounts are from and it has confirmed that too many of the political accounts are out of country bots.

Why are folks still there? To argue with bots? A waste of precious time while enriching the richest man on Earth.

As soon as I heard Peter Thiel was doing lectures about the Antichrist, I figured it was time to talk with @gilduran.com again — and he did not disappoint.

This is a great conversation not just about the Antichrist talk, but the broader project of Thiel and his fellow tech billionaires.
Peter Thiel is obsessed with the Antichrist — but what does he actually mean when he talks about it?

This week @gilduran.com joins @parismarx.com to discuss how Thiel casts his enemies as the Antichrist to distract from Silicon Valley’s anti-human project.
