Pete Hegseth announces Operation Southern Spear.

There doesn’t seem to be reporting yet on what this means. But I assume it’s not good.

Predictable but still amazing to watch people who spent literally years accusing every librarian, teacher, and trans person they could find of sexually grooming children suddenly throw themselves in with "actually it's ephebophilia"
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

My favorite part of the pedo apologia podcast is brave anti-woke crusader Batya Ungar-Sargon being like “mm-hmm” “mmm” — like Megyn Kelly were recounting an anecdote to her about what happened at an awards show.

On this week’s premium episode, @michaelehayden.bsky.social and I talk about Democrats caving to end the government shutdown in exchange for nothing at all. Then we debate a question on the minds of MAGA stars: is “woke” dead?

Laura Loomer works with neonazis all the time. She always has. She’s scum. She knows exactly what she’s doing and she’s hoping to be top kapo.
I’m going to go out on limb and say that Laura Loomer doesn’t know what the word “pogrom” means.

Also, I think this is the only person I’ve seen rush to Schumer’s defense.

On PTI Premium this week, we talk about Senate Democrats breaking rank to support reopening the government in exchange for... nothing. Then we listen to a couple right-wing activists discuss whether "woke" is dead -- a growing discussion among X-poisoned MAGA stars.

I highly recommend @peltzmadeline.bsky.social's takes if you want to learn more about tradwife influencers, but I appreciate this episode most for its ability to expand PTI's cinematic universe

Over on X, the weird life extension guy just did a heroic dose of magic mushrooms (5g), and someone is live tweeting it for him.

Clearly someone misguided him along the way, though, because he seems to be under the impression he’s peaked after just one hour.

Bad news for you, buddy…

Not posting it, because it’s in no need of further circulation, but PLAYING THE WHORE has made it onto the radar of those mass book ban lists, and to give you a sense of the seriousness of these endeavors, at least a third of red-flagged material was quoting the *bibliography*

I’ve been trying to say this for a while, but I feel like no one is really listening to me who’s obsessively focused on the “groyper problem” at the expense of everything else. The issue with unhinged far-right streamers goes beyond Fuentes and the groypers. Things have been cooked for years.
There’s no daylight between what Candace says here about “the Jews” & what Nazi propagandists & Father Coughlin said about the Jews in the 1930s. Her show is one of the top 5 “conservative” podcasts in the US. She has 5.5 million subscribers on YouTube and 7.3 million followers on X.

Please stop writing articles about “what is a groyper?” that totally gets what groypers are wrong, thanks.
