  2. Somebody watched John Oliver this past Sunday.
  3. Yep. It's ruined the last bastion of free press in this country. When the NYT and WaPo no longer serves as the ultimate government watchdogs, and instead chase online traffic by posting rage-bait articles/opinion pieces, the country is vulnerable to a autocratic takeover like we're seeing right now.
  4. Biden, wrongfully it turns out, thought the Trump scourge was over the minute he was sworn in as POTUS in 2021. Hell, I thought so too. And his four years -- once we got past COVID -- were pretty even keel, a much-needed respite after the rough sledding from 2017-2020. He -- and the Democrats mis-calculated as they have every step of Donald Trump's political career. He's a fucking cockroach. He'd survive a nuclear holocaust. Mitch McConnell could've done this country a huge favor by convicting him for J6 but he pussed out too, or a desire for his team to hang on to power won over doing the right thing for once in his pathetic life. And then Merrick Merrick'ed and, oops, Trump is re-elected and we are in the hell that we're in. I'm just glad it wasn't either of these two: Love it. But Tyler Robinson is a relatively common name.
  5. So what to take from this? The kid was a Groyper?
  6. Jeff Tiedrich is about the only thing keeping me sane these days. Another great read today. His Substack should be on everybody's daily "to-do" list. https://www.jefftiedrich.com/p/journalistic-fuckery-in-the-wake?r=3agz2m&utm_medium=ios&fbclid=IwY2xjawMxFMBleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBicmlkETFCalNGbXV5MTlVeE44RVVJAR7FQf2kmiCxiJjfA4RpR8309wvqVM0okMAcTkwWVhnxo1Y3B_xXBM5bSz6VMA_aem_e79nPncULwJkpWyN3m2DJw&triedRedirect=true ‘did not match other summaries of the evidence’ is polite newsroom-speak for ‘it was a fucking lie.’ Subscribe here’s a concept that seems to be eluding our media right now: one can both denounce and abhor political violence, and, at the same time, condemn hate-mongers. but we’re not getting that from the worthless scribs. they’re over-correcting. the very same people who sanewashed Donny’s incoherent mouth-farts about sharks and batteries and Hannibal Lecter wants to have you for dinner are now are now sanewashing Charlie Kirk. the question must be asked, is there a gas leak in Ezra Klein’s house? because I’m not sure there’s any other way to explain this: “Charlie Kirk Was Practicing Politics the Right Way” oh, come on. this guy’s whole deal was to be as toxic and divisive as possible. tell me, is this the ‘right way’ to do a racism? if that’s the ‘right way,’ I sure as fuck would hate to see what the wrong way is. Charlie Kirk did not deserve to be assassinated. but at the same time, he did not earn the right to be sainted. Subscribe it’s kind of ironic that yesterday was the anniversary of 9/11, because we’re seeing a lot of the cowardice displayed by the media then, being duplicated now. we saw this kind of fuckery play out over and over in the wake of the 2001 terror attacks. any on-air personality who tried to analyze if the terrorists might have had a beef against US foreign policy and imperialism was unceremoniously shown the door and had their careers end up in the shitter. look, emotions were running high on Wednesday, and maybe Matthew Dowd could have waited 24 hours before saying what he said — but where was the lie? for fuck’s sake, explaining why something might have happened is not the same thing as justifying it. I can’t believe that I have to explain any of this to the media. do better, you cowards. meanwhile, what the fuck is going on with Dear Leader’s health? check out Donny at the Pentagon 9/11 Observance yesterday. on top of the cankles and rotting hands, now it appears that every muscle on the right side of his face has gone sleepy-bye. where is the press? if Joe Biden had ever shown up in public with half his face at half-mast, the press would have shit a massive brick. it would be the top story everywhere. the worthless scribs would be screaming for answers. Republicans would be calling for Joe’s resignation — and Comer Fudd would have already subpoenaed Biden’s face. but because we live in the Shittiest Timeline Ever™, everyone pretended not to notice.
  7. I think legacy media (mostly print) came to a fork in the road. How do we make money in the changing media marketplace? Somewhere around that point, it lost the plot.
  8. Kimmel played some of Herschel Walker’s clips from his confirmation hearing today. (There’s a bonus of LT from a little while back but he doesn’t come off as near as stupid as Herschel.)
  9. I don't know what happened there. I started to post the name from that discussion and after reading a bit into it, the detective work seemed a little Kash-y. Guess I hit submit and then edited it out rather than editing my first draft before posting. At any rate, highly doubtful you'll ever hear that name again. And I'm an idiot for posting it.
  10. There's a couple of responses to that tweet saying this event and location was only announced six days prior.
  11. All clear now.
  12. Fuck you Nancy https://www.threads.com/@ronaldfilipkowski/post/DOfCQMPkbsK?xmt=AQF00OjJlePSRdu7QmqWxh3J10Z3_331jcdfYiFU1EkOpg&slof=1

    Brazil understood the assignment.
  14. My daughter is a sophomore at Ole Miss. Just about my entire ex-wife’s family went there and she loves it there. And why not? Oxford is charming as hell and the campus is gorgeous. That place is racist AF (yet I find it hard to throw stones considering what Texas and UT is turning into). I’m sure my daughter is one of not many liberals on campus. I drove her back for her sophomore year a few weeks back and found the best little mom-and-pop Italian place. It’s owned by a married couple. The wife came by our table and chatted us up. She was incredibly nice. FF to a text from my daughter late last night. Apparently, the lady posted this on Instagram: Probably not a great idea in that environment — but she ain’t wrong. They had to shut down their Yelp page after getting repeated 1-star reviews. She also served as an executive assistant to a high-level Ole Miss administrator. She’s been fired. I bet the restaurant is not long for this world either, which is a damn shame. https://www.hattiesburgamerican.com/story/news/2025/09/11/ole-miss-fires-employee-over-social-media-post-on-charlie-kirk-shooting-death/86097846007/
  15. These are the shit-bags who don't pay attention to current events and just blindly pull the lever for whatever turrible Republican candidate is on the ballot. They don't bother educating themselves or paying attention to the building burning down around them. I'm guessing they're older, probably white male Boomers that have it pretty well locked down. Nice house, kids off doing their own things, several nice vacations per year, country club membership, etc. You know, "winning." Or it could simply be plain old self-preservation. Rightly or not, the right wingers who want an eye for an eye for Kirk are going to see some of these folks as just like him but on the other team. They could become targets themselves.
  16. Really, really dumb.
  17. UK fires ambassador to the US Peter Mandelson over his links to Jeffrey Epstein https://apnews.com/article/uk-mandelson-epstein-fc3f953112ac10108e1109920fd9dca0 This is how you do it.
