My mom makes these subtle but delectable Egyptian cookies around the holidays called kahk. When she offers them to people it sounds like she says "who wants some Christmas cock?"

A while ago I said that it wasn’t a coincidence that fascism is making a comeback as soon as the generation that directly experienced it the first time knocked off. This is what I meant.

I may start doing the Jack Posobiec thing on Bluesky where he goes "Wake up, pray up!" every morning and posts all caps "PRAY" every time something stupid happens to Trump. Really missing that particular flavor of grift on here.

This photo of @michaelehayden.bsky.social standing at the "lectern" - hijacking it - in the "VDARE HQ" - is fairly powerful

It highlights how both incompetent the neo-n*zi movement is, and how when there is a will there is a way

It's been six months since disgraced former Fox News host Tucker Carlson started his online show.

Over 46 episodes he's engaged in white supremacist rhetoric, cozied up to authoritarians, and defended people accused of corruption and sexual abuse.

The Biden administration has gone from “uh are you sure these Palestinian death tolls are real” to “hey, look, we told Netanyahu to chill” — impossible to respect this messaging. They just look utterly weak to all sides. Worst of all worlds.

Does anyone recall a ratio like this since Twitter introduced the feature where you can turn off replies? Purely for scientific reasons, has there ever been anything like this on that app?

Keeping in mind that quote tweets take more effort than replies.

Whitmer conveys a toughness about her that I think makes her a little unique in that respect. Plus making the election about women and women's rights could bring the ticket some much needed enthusiasm.

it's going to be hard with Biden and I don't even know where to start. Getting young people excited is going to be very tough and if they aren't motivated, the margins are so thin. Need to start targeting them.

I don't think so tbh. Biden's age and baggage are significant. I don't even think another candidate would even be a better president necessarily. Just that they'd have less risk.
