I've purged the Venezuelan flag from my handle. They've fully become a neocolonial holding of the United States with this deal to hand over all oil. I don't want to create the impression I support the puppet regime.

I'm gonna be here more now that Twitter is cracking down on monetization. It was a beautiful system where I could monetize bigots calling me slurs, stealing their blue check money like a bounty button poker tournament. I made enough money to kinda afford some food. Subscribe at jakelandau.ca.

The media’s refusal to interrogate whether loud outrage is in good-faith — or whether there’s some underlying, nefarious motive fuelling that rage — is one of our most dangerous habits. Now, a man — Jason Arday — is dead. So it’s beyond time we have a discussion about this:

Mamdani is succeeding in part by projecting joy Ossoff is succeeding in part by projecting steely ferocity We’re in a moment when attitude is nearly as powerful as ideology, because we all need courage. And these are two ways of summoning it

The Infowars news is funny, yes. But more importantly, it is an outright rebuke of Alex Jones' evil. It's testament to the strength and resilience of the Sandy Hook families who survived this bullshit for more than a decade as well as the Onion, which didn't give up on this for the last 18 months.
