Self-respect, self-worth, identity, authenticity: all things left at the doorstep before joining any cult.
MAGA influencers are being offered access to “the White House—the perfect backdrop for any viral video—and the heady sense of being insiders. In return, all they have to do is ask questions that would make a Soviet propagandist blush,” Helen Lewis writes:
MAGA Influencers Should Have Some Self-Respect
The new White House influencer briefing is a parade of softballs and sycophancy.

How come the person who wrecked the UK with Brexit is being voted for again?

Is the alternative só bad they rather vote for self destruction?

Hardwerkende Nederlanders gaan de komende jaren met de plannen van o.a. de VVD €4 miljard extra belasting betalen. Dat geld wordt vervolgens weggegeven aan belastingkortingen voor buitenlandse aandeelhouders en de rijkste 1%. (CPB)

Oh dear you’re going to want to read this. Looks like DOGErs were caught exfiltrating NLRB data, likely on unions, for private (seemingly Elony) use. This is must read. What we’ve all suspected. But now details. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...
A whistleblower's disclosure details how DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data
A whistleblower tells Congress and NPR that DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data and hid its tracks. "None of that ... information should ever leave the agency," said a former NLRB official.

He needs to make X relevant.

Imagine you’ll have to get a Twitler subscription to get your earned help and support.
Through DOGE, Elon Musk has already managed to largely disable the Social Security system, but now he wants to shut down regional service & make the elderly log into X to get information.

He wants to kill undesirables. It’s Soylent Green except for rockets.

Leuke hobby, brommer rijden voor grote jongens. Toch vraag ik mij af: ist écht zo slecht gesteld met mannelijk Nederland dat de hele dag door het dorp blèren met je oversized brommer nodig is?

Tis er niet een, maar redelijke kuddes. Ik weet het, eerste zomerse weekend ist elk jaar zo. Maar toch.

Instead of ‘told you so’ we should welcome back everyone who enters the reality of life for actual people.

Even these dumb rage baiting populists.
We warned these idiots. Pleaded with them. Begged them to take his words and intentions seriously.

They laughed. Called us hysterical.

Now here they are…with their “I never thought he’d eat my face as well” reactions.

Very cheap stuff on one side, overpriced stuff on the other side.

Not a nightmare, but a rebalance. If China had wanted to flood anything they already would.
Analysts said Asian economies badly hit by the US levies would try to divert their exports, with one expert calling it 'Europe's worst economic nightmare'. www.ft.com/content/0ab0...

The awaking.

Selective trade balance difference.
The tariff levels were set on the basis of something even dumber than I initially realized.

Al maanden praten de VS en Oekraïne over een gezamenlijk fonds voor de opbrengsten van Oekraïense grondstoffen. Beide landen zouden daarvan moeten profiteren, maar het voorstel dat nu op tafel ligt gaat Oekraïne vooral met eindeloze schulden opzadelen.

Don’t echo the bs.

He talks about specific & selective trade differences and not about tariffs countries actually have.

I know, truth is complicated. Trump talks in toddler.

False Memories: When Misinformation Becomes “Something I Lived Through”

We assume memory is a record. It isn’t.
It’s a reconstruction.

And that makes it vulnerable to misinformation—not just as belief, but as experience.

This thread explores how lies become memories.

Capitalism is reaching a predatory form. Question is if the human resources they prey on will keep abiding to the billionaires.

I think it’s fascinating. European history has proven people will rebalance sooner or later.
