    ANNOUNCEMENT! I have officially joined the land of Substack. It was probably inevitable. But I'm very excited about the opportunities the platform affords. And most of all, looking forward to making insufferable people's heads explode

  2. Made all the more creepy with the press release being authored by a former Deputy Prime Minister of the UK who now gets to inform Americans which political leaders they're permitted to hear from on social media

  3. Facebook says the former President will be allowed to leave time-out at a future date if his behavior improves. Such a creepy combination of infantilization and authoritarianism

    Left/liberal media activists spent the past five years behaving in the most intellectually and socially repugnant ways imaginable, then act all indignant when they discover that new coalitions may be forming to counter their repugnant influence

    "Right-thinking people" in the media who would "automatically reject" an idea solely because a political figure they revile raised it are operating as propagandistic misinformation peddlers. Despite screaming day and night about "misinformation"

    Taibbi provides some clarity: Even though a DC think tank gives him $$$ to play Internet Hall Monitor in service of establishment liberal hegemony, can't possibly be a "grifter." That moniker is reserved for those who earn income online while remaining independent

    This otherwise good Vanity Fair article illustrates the epistemic corruption at the heart of so much media behavior today. What you may have regarded as Trump's "toxic racism" or "nativist posturing" has zero bearing whatsoever on whether the lab-leak theory was empirically valid

    Look at all the media cool kids who simultaneously swarmed this thread attacking me for objecting to a colleague of Lee Fang publicly defaming him as racist: The mass hysteria that consumed national media at this time last year was off-the-charts deranged

    Thinking about attending "Monster Jam" at the Meadowlands next month just because it's the first mass indoor event in NJ without any capacity limitations

  10. Keep going back to how everyone who broached this topic in the extremely recent past was dismissed as a crank spreading "disinformation." Despite this humiliation, you can bet the same people will continue screaming "disinformation" when it's politically convenient

  11. Hi, I get paid by a huge think tank to tattle on Twitter and Reddit users for engaging in public political expression that I’ve deemed “domestic extremism” per whatever bullshit definition I’ve invented along with my bullshit colleagues. You other guys are the “grifters” though

  12. Can someone explain why it isn't a "grift" for this guy to work as an Online Ideology Cop for the Atlantic Council, a DC think tank whose annual revenues are north of $68 million 🤔

  13. Trump will be re-instated in August via military coup led by Larry, Curly, and Moe

  15. Funny contrast to come back to. Very few masks were worn outdoors anywhere in England, which despite stringent COVID protocols in most other respects has never mandated or even really socially encouraged outdoor mask use. Meanwhile this is still the rule at my local park in NJ

    I'm wary of "vaccine passports" from a civil liberties standpoint but at the same time it seems bizarre that you can't cite your vaccinated status to gain any benefits vis-a-vis travel between two of the most comprehensively vaccinated countries on earth

    Actual description of this ad: "Fetishization is a sexual fascination with things not inherently sexual, like... sexuality"

    This is now considered sexual harassment... on a dating app. Lol

    Just got this amazing Bumble ad on YouTube. Congratulations to whiny Millennials and Zoomers for successfully pressuring dating apps to get involved in policing the nuances of interpersonal adult relationships

    Highlight quote: "I am fully vaccinated — thanks to Donald Trump’s groundbreaking socialized medicine initiative", perfectly calibrated to troll everyone simultaneously, congratulations.
