Antisemitism is a lot like Qanon child abuse conspiracies in that there’s this real and bad phenomenon and, parallel to that, what can only be described as a large scale mass psychosis about a mostly fictional version of the same phenomenon

Growing up in a time when “selling out” was the most shameful thing you could do and then being forced to live through the 2020s feels like being kicked in the head by a horse every day

I’m losing my mind over the final and my Taskmaster group chat hasn’t watched yet, help
If I even kind of know you and you start watching Taskmaster you can ask for my number when you get to the “I only want to talk about Taskmaster” phase

A corollary to the “I don’t know what the fuck these people are talking about” problem I mentioned is that these people don’t know what the fuck they’re talking about
ok so the thing is that obviously a lot of rich people were pals w/jeffrey epstein and he had influence in this way, but from reading all these emails i am beginning to think he may be prone to exaggerating his impact on things a wee bit. like i don't believe "his" nerds taught anybody anything
jeeeeeesus christ, Epstein was setting policy for the 1st Trump Admin, and "[Epstein's] nerds" are these foreign agents he's describing?

I simply refuse to accept that police ever have to look like this. this is just pure cosplay. it should be illegal for cops to be dressed like soldiers going to war.

no see using these photos would be beneath the Times, which would never take material from a dubious source, unless it was, say, hacked documents showing that a guy born in Africa had put 'African-American' on his application form for a university he didn't get into. You know, something important.
Can we circle back to the part where the NY Times never disclosed that they have incriminating information on Donald Trump from sent by Epstein that's been sitting on their email servers for nearly a decade?
Stuff like this makes me wonder why there hasn't been any reporting about Trump having affairs during his presidencies

The problem with all of this from my perspective is it’s impossible to tell what the fuck these people are talking about

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

pretty funny in retrospect that QAnon hinged on the idea that powerful elites at the highest levels of government were smart enough to talk in code when sending emails to each other about their despicable crimes

Ah, now I see why you guys didn’t want to explain it
The account owner of @sarahkendzior.bsky.social was suspended for 72 hours for expressing a desire to shoot the author of an article. The post, made 11/10, stated: "I want to shoot the author of this article just to watch him die." 1/2

Incredible how much dirt the Dems had on Trump and never used it 'cause the Epstein case hits a bunch of their own guys. Their donor class and the guys they advance as major candidates have so much more in common with him than with you.
