- Nothing could have prepared me for the Instagram account of Ye’s evil dentist
- The root of all this - the sassy Brands Are People Too genre of posting - is Denny’s Tumblr, which no one remembers now. I was at a conference in 2015 where a presenter was raving about how it was the future of social media, and deep down I knew she was right
- I’m increasingly convinced the root of America’s problems is a widespread inability to accept reality as it is, on the level of a neurological disorder.
- His little smirk makes me understand why, after the Germans withdrew, the French shot the collaborationist broadcasters and journalists before anyone else"At what point are you going to realize the entire world thinks the embargo is a bad idea?" Associated Press journalist Matt Lee grills State Department Spox on the US continuing to vote against ending the genocidal blockade of Cuba.
00:00 - The “Halloween Massacre” in October ‘77 saw more than 800 CIA officers fired, almost all of them in the clandestine section. They almost immediately started a network of private intelligence agencies that conspired to sabotage Carter’s presidency and elect ReaganBREAKING: CIA is reportedly planning its largest mass firing since 1977.
- The most chilling example of this government redaction conceptual art was a US military report on massacres in Guatemala that Bob Parry got through FOIA, in which every single word was blacked out except for two: “entire village”Reviewing the FTC v Amazon complaint for my new article, Long Term Consumer Welfare, I had to laugh at this.

Getting a lot of people together is not an end in itselfhate to see leftists dunk on the Bernie/AOC rally. guys the whole point is organizing masses of people together, why are you immediately trying to put that back in the bottle
- I’m reading a book where the author mentions as a casual aside that one of Teddy Roosevelt’s sons was “oddly fixated on witchcraft,” no elaboration and no search engine results. You can’t do this to me man you need to give details on TR’s witchcraft son
