  1. Fuck Adam Friedland.
  2. There used to be a group of well-heeled MMA alum with local clout who made that game happen for years. HHS wanted to drop it for a long time when MMA was uncompetitive. Then MMA pulled the prep school shit with D1 recruits who were 19 or 20 and that was enough. They couldn’t get a game in the valley for years and weren’t even allowed in the private league. They did it in hoops too, one year y’all had two seven foot Nigerian prospects on the team.
  3. Saying the head of HHS is only 10-15 percent insane is such a clown-ass way to defend him. Zero percent is a completely attainable, even expected, target. “I am completely witty and charming 90 percent of the time, I only shit my pants in public once every ten outings.” OK brozark, that still makes you one hundred percent a pants-shitter.
  4. The SSRI stuff is dominating right now because of Minneapolis. But within the next month the government of the United States is about to completely fuck up the lives of lots of kids with autism by telling angry, unsophisticated parents a bunch of bullshit and preventing real research. As parent working through this in my family, a hearty fuck you to Anastasis and anyone else trying to sane-wash RFK. He’s an utter quack who fried his brain on heroin and we are seeing generational damage to real people. There’s no explanation other than maliciousness or stupidity indistinguishable from maliciousness so I treat it as both.
  5. Well, it’s Stephen Miller but there is a jumble at second place.
  6. Look, it’s very important that regular citizens be armed to take action in case the government ever becomes fascist. You’ll be grateful to your armed neighbors once the military is patrolling the streets, banners praising the dear leader appear, and the government starts taking control of private companies.
  7. He made sure to call him the “male subject” (which, whatever but it is noticeable) and he made sure that all the facts released align with a narrative that the kid was anti-Trump and anti-MAGA. And it’s all well before any responsible investigator should be making these types of leading comments, and it’s missing other key elements here. You can see the narrative shaping and it’s very manipulative.
  8. The kid wrote mostly in English transcribed into a Russian-Cyrillic and had a few very simple phrases, words, and slogans in actual Russian. It’s clear that he was marinating in some Z corners of the internet, but noting at all suggests beyond that and the whole picture is just a jumble. I think we are living in an era of politically adjacent but not actually politically motivated, mental illness fueled violence. The atmosphere and inchoate rage is very reminiscent of the late 60s and 70s when the whole nation was at a permanent simmer. There’s no clear-cut political motive or thought here, but you do have a very disturbed and angry person who is clearly impacted by the overheated rhetoric and environment.
  9. Absolutely grotesque stuff especially considering the strategic omission of the killer’s clear Russia-curiosity. This crew makes me want to vomit.
  10. It seems like he got busted leaving with a lot of the raw data, which would bring in propriety information as well as serious privacy concerns. Beijing is very interested in genetic and health information on Westerners.
  11. Was gonna add him LOL. Stupid, spiteful, hateful, and not that smart.
  12. Hugh Freeze has to be in this discussion. A long trail of sexual misconduct including allegations of problems with a HS girls basketball team, escorts, endless recruiting violations and lying about it, all wrapped up in a born-again image that he keeps publicly trumpeting.
  13. Interesting to see mapped out and how it works. It’s always safe to assume that political influencers who spend tons of time commenting but have no visible income source have an invisible one. The ones doing it for a mainstream U.S. party with guardrails and directions are low down on my list of concerns. Tim Poole and Benny Johnson showed how much stupid dark money is sloshing in the system and how easy it is for foreign actors to exploit that. There are plenty of influencers on the left who knowingly and unknowingly work for foreign adversaries .
  14. Crazy that Project Warp Speed was literally the only truly useful and successful thing that DJT I did, and now not only has MAGA disowned it they’ve also gaslit themselves into believing DJT didn’t do it.
  15. Fucking enraging. And clearly a message to the military: break your oath to help Trump and Trump will have your back.
  16. Most of the early Old Testament is a bunch of cranky scribes recording the efforts of even crankier prophets and sometimes kings to make a not-very-good-at-monotheism people into monotheists. And it’s a lot of ancient Near Eastern literature and history with all the exaggeration and narrative building that entails, so when you read about massive victories or horrible genocides it bears remembering that we also have their neighbors recording similar things, like announcing themselves rulers of the known universe and slayers of all foes after capturing some dusty village. Even if you don’t take the stories literally, there are echoes of the dark and violent world that the scribes were trying to get people to leave behind. Abraham was surprisingly cool and unsurprised about the whole “go burn your son alive” thing; that story doesn’t make any sense outside of a people with a cultural memory of child sacrifice. So the God of Leviticus and then the God of the exiled Israelites is remarkably more chill than the assortment of Semtic deities that were running things before Him. These things are a spectrum.
  17. We gotta look into some mental health interventions for whatever this political philosophy is.
  18. There are some screenshots of an (alleged) manifesto floating around. Truly strange stuff: some in English, some in English but written with Russian Cyrillic characters, and some very simple Russian.
  19. Nothing at all good can come from an attempt to do something like this even if it is ultimately unsuccessful. Jan 6 out front should have told you.
  20. We need to stop using “active shooter” in media reports. It’s an LEO term used to indicate the threat is ongoing. Of course the shooter is/was active if he’s fucking shooting people. It jargonizes and distances reader from the reality. “Gunman,” “killer,” or just “shooter.”
  21. Part of what makes this so sticky is DJT’s penchant for using non-official MAGA world proxies all over the world. There’s a long tradition of outsourcing extremely sensitive and complex stuff when it makes strategic sense, but when that is done well, non-official people are tightly linked and coordinated with the official world. And it’s almost never done for things this. There’s been less chaos and confusion in the second term but it’s still an issue. This sounds like a Marx Brothers version of the Russian way of business.
  22. A majority of GOP voters want Trump to have a third, unconstitutional term. A majority of Dems and Independents think he will seek one. Tipping point past IMO. The majority party has simply abandoned any pretense of wanting a constitutional order. https://www.semafor.com/article/08/27/2025/gop-voters-favor-third-trump-term
