I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people.

Yet another reason to wish for the Butlerian Jihad.

READ this. It’s not that long, but it is an important reminder of what RFK, Elmo & the rest really want to recreate.

Good Grief. The bad is bad law (like ones against “locking” knives like my Soldier Model SAK or “butterfly” knives among others) but this is just a flat out stupid interpretation of the 2nd Amendment…

Alright, I don't post much, and I post on politics even less, but I feel it's important to call out that I VOTED. I am doing what I can, little though it may be. I'm sorry to the rest of the country, and the world, if it isn't enough. But we're trying.

I never thought I'd live to see a SecDef so incompetent that Robert McNamara looks good.

Light is the left hand of darkness and darkness the right hand of light. Two are one, life and death, lying together like lovers in kemmer, like hands joined together, like the end and the way.

Steve Bannon is one of the worst human beings in US history. A transnational advocate for fascism. If you think he’s OK now because he’s talking to Bernie Sanders you need to get a fucking grip.

For those still learning about Germany’s neo-Nazi AfD, here are the salient facts:

I'm always astonished at how many people get deeply involved in reality shows like Big Brother, the Bachelor, et al. And how much gab there is about it on social media, even bsky. I think there should be a reality show called Get A Life that's about lives of people heavily into "reality" shows.

I am surprised. They usually pretzel their way into ignoring reality.
