  1. lets gooooo Houston Energy Corporation!!!
  2. The more detailed version is that social media is engineered to spread lies faster than truth. That is the basic mechanism thats used by oligarchs and despots to shape public opinion and get people to believe things that aren't true, like eating dogs and cats as Charlie Kirk led millions to deeply believe and be afraid of
  3. Focus groups and consultants send their regards! Fucking idiot leadership that's scared to do anything that isn't co-signed by a million dollar consulting engagement
  4. Daily Show is hosting a Nobel Prize winner to speak about her efforts in protecting freedom of expression https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/peace/2021/ressa/facts/ She has really strongly laid out how social media and being too online is a big part of what gets us here.
  5. Maria Ressa is giving one heck of an interview on how we got here https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/peace/2021/ressa/facts/ She won her Nobel Prize for protecting freedom of expression in the midst of a fascist dictator takeover
  6. Because your bosses have a sanctioned monopoly on if you die or not? Fucks sake dude it's not hard to figure out why a solely for-profit entity is extracting more wealth from sick people
  7. Man if only Mr Robot had that as a plot device lol. That show was INCREDIBLE when it was coming out - they even wrote fresh zero-day exploits into the show like the android hack on the FBI. Some of those episodes in Elliot's mind were wild, that show is an all-timer for me
  8. Daily Show is gonna be putting on some good stuff tonight, they opened to an all-gold stage and called it a "state-approved show"
  9. They're literally just following through on Project 2025. The FCC chair is even shitposting about it. Demonizing and persecuting trans people has been a tentpole of the Administration for a long while. When a fascist tells you what they plan to do if they get power, BELIEVE THEM
  10. You'll excuse me if I don't believe you that the death panels insurance companies won't use this as justification for blanket denials. Because they make more money with more denials, as you are wellllll aware
  11. Aaaand here goes the state sanctioned demonization of trans people [Quoted from reporting] The Trump administration is preparing to designate transgender people as “violent extremists” in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s murder, two national security officials tell me. “We're looking at the entire spider web for any of these attacks,” FBI director Kash Patel told the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday, when asked about shootings by trans individuals. “They,” Attorney General Pam Bondi said after the Kirk murder, are “putting this crazy ideology in our schools,” echoing the growing view of many in Trump’s inner circle that a “cult of gender ideology” is behind an explosion of violence by some as yet unidentified “radical left.” Two days before Kirk was killed, Donald Trump condemned “transgender insanity.” Then in an interview about the shooting, he blamed “the radicals on the left,” saying: “they want transgender for everyone.” “They are cynically targeting trans people because the shooter’s lover was trans,” one senior intelligence official tells me. “The administration has convinced itself that the Charlie Kirk murder exposes some dark conspiracy.” The senior official explains that there is no process per se for dealing with trans people as a “threat group,” but feels that trans individuals will be increasingly targeted under the banner of “violent extremism.” [End quoted block] Damn those TRN head stamps, spreading their radical pronouns! It's wild how the Administration is just moving ahead with their script even if the facts don't line up
  12. Boy howdy are you in luck
  13. *** If you can get your local death panelist to agree to cover it under your thousand-of-dollars-a-year premiums. Against DHS recommendations? Easiest denial of your life I bet!
  14. Holy shit I'm glad my daughter already got her round of vaccines. What a horrifying reality we live in led by people who believe silver and horse paste will protect against a respiratory disease
  15. My guy did you not see the release from AF1? The God Emperor want to ban anything that says mean things about him. Explicitly and in his own words
  16. Here's some more for you, from the main voice pushing great replacement theory: If you’re a WNBA, pot-smoking, Black lesbian, do you get treated better than a United States marine? – The Charlie Kirk Show, 8 December 2022 Happening all the time in urban America, prowling Blacks go around for fun to go target white people, that’s a fact. It’s happening more and more. – The Charlie Kirk Show, 19 May 2023 If I’m dealing with somebody in customer service who’s a moronic Black woman, I wonder is she there because of her excellence, or is she there because of affirmative action? – The Charlie Kirk Show, 3 January 2024 If we would have said that Joy Reid and Michelle Obama and Sheila Jackson Lee and Ketanji Brown Jackson were affirmative action picks, we would have been called racists. Now they’re coming out and they’re saying it for us … You do not have the brain processing power to otherwise be taken really seriously. You had to go steal a white person’s slot to go be taken somewhat seriously. – The Charlie Kirk Show, 13 July 2023
  17. Ali Alexander delivered that testimony - I linked the source in the DT thread when I initially made the claim https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/ali-alexander-charlie-kirk-capitol-riot-transcript-b2252572.html (Here's the Independent's reporting)
  18. I wrote that I "didn't feel like paying a bunch of mouse eared bootlickers"
  19. THIS is where we're at with the Administration using Kirk's murder as a fulcrum for their crackdown We're probably at the point of this being a different topic, but it's being done in Kirk's name and under the guise of """never again"""
  20. And outright LIES! Fox has been saddled with billions in judgements against them for their LIES, not to mention their fomenting of the January 6th putsch
  21. It absolutely is news that the 1st amendment has been shredded in the name of "fighting leftist extremism" and avenging a January 6 organizer. If you don't like that it's such a big deal, go stick your head in the sand and don't click the thread.
  22. They disagree in the same way they disagreed with the outcome of the 2020 election. It's all bullshit and vibes and "many people are saying". There's no actual critique there aside from culture warring, it isn't backed by facts. The most glowing thing I hear about Kirk is the LIE that he believed in and preached peaceful speech. His words and rhetoric were in the mouth of the El Paso shooter. His words and rhetoric were in the mouths of Jan6 rioters. He was a cultural arsonist, and he's being mourned by people who like the smell of a campfire
  23. Racists and fascists love nothing more than turning shields into swords. Hell, Texans and other slavers in the 1850s were using the Bible to justify slavery and justify their secession Kirk was orders of magnetude more awful than good. He has no positive contributions to society. He sent EIGHTY busses of rioters to the Capital on January 6th that went on to interrupt the peaceful transition of power and try to hang the Vice President.
  24. MLB hates hometown fans watching their own team, it's wild
