All the Fauci stuff is a modern day version of the POW/MIA stuff after Vietnam - a way to try to rewrite the history of a huge failure of conservative ideology to be instead a story about how liberals and foreigners stabbed us in the back.

Bluesky is a "liberal bubble" because fascist chuds can't get traction without algorithmic assistance and because people here trained themselves to block "debate me" trybois the instant they roll up
The VergeBluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."

(Reassuringly) the president has the zoomies
Aaron RuparSen. John Kennedy on Trump's blatant reflecting pool lies: "The president says it was caused by vandals. I don't know if he really believes that or it's part of his political messaging or he's just thinking out loud ... he grows anxious when he has an unexpressed thought."

So close. AIPAC has hundreds of millions of dollars that they spend on our elections and Antifa is some random people in any city who don't like to see their neighbors brutalized by the cops.
littlenomad“AIPAC” is also now analogous to how people on the far right use term “antifa.” It’s a way to label “them” and blame “them” collectively for the actions of few bad actors.

if I ever taught film criticism lesson one would be “you being smarter than the movie is not interesting to anyone”

“It's coming straight from the horse's mouth. When you see it on Truth Social, you know it's directly from President Trump. That's the beauty of this president and his transparency” - White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt

When you slow down and think about it you realize it's ten times worse than it seems. Sure it's farcical, but it's also a brutal legal attack on a man they knew to be innocent, done to distract from their own thievery and incompetence and as a flex to terrify anyone who might make them look bad.
BrendelIt is very weird that they just lie about normal people and then it’s not a scandal when they admit it

I've been saying it for a while so I'll be brief: you and like 5 other folks can make an Itchio bundle anytime you want. It will teach you many things, make you friends and get you paid! 🙌 I highly recommend giving it a shot.

That's right, racist. The inbred "heritage Americans" of the traitorous Confederacy got their asses kicked by a motley assortment of immigrants in the U.S. Army.

Bev Craig: "Trans women are women. Trans men are men." She won her election in a landslide because sane people believe in personal freedom, dignity, and sovreignty.

I don’t think you could have said this (in the screenshot) in public 10-15 years ago without swift backlash, which is a pretty clear indication of the level of decline we’re looking at

struck by this clip of Josh Johnson standup: he doesn't really develop the theme, no real punchlines. he just says what people have been complaining about re: The Odyssey and everyone laughs for *3 minutes* because a professional comedian *could not improve upon it* www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKcv...

Nara Smith is now claiming she’s “not a tradwife” in a recent podcast appearance. This is a linguistic game that all kinds of people play! Sovereign citizens for instance began claiming there’a “no such thing” as a sovereign citizen as soon as the general public became more familiar with the idea.
