The qualitative matches the quantitative outcomes. Great distillation of his body of work.

@fincherism Now more than ever is the time for Clayface! McAvoy or Eddie Murphy as Basil Karlo.

My favorite Batman villain is Clayface.

“They're building a national network of surveillance cameras and I think it's time to carefully consider if this is really how we want to live in America…” My comments on Flock at the Dunwoody, GA City Council meeting:

The DOGE goons are getting deposed for a lawsuit on behalf of the American History Association and others and holy shit this hurts to watch

Yesterday as I was walking through Minneapolis with a friend I saw this Lexus parked terribly and commented to him: “get a load of this asshole’s terrible parking.” By complete serendipity, as if the universe itself was saying "be kinder with your spoken thoughts," right at that moment I heard a voice say “hey that’s my car, ICE grabbed me, I’m so sorry!” come from the passenger of a Jeep slowly passing by; the Jeep driver said she was the sister of the Lexus’ owner and that the two of them had just come back from picking her up from Federal detention. I went to go talk to the Lexus’ driver, but first I read the note on the windshield: “THIS WOMAN WAS TAKEN BY ICE. Please don’t hit or tow.” Neighbors put that there, and put a tarp over the window that ICE broke open so snow wouldn’t get in. The Lexus driver, a short, brown haired white woman told me she lived in the area and was driving through looking for parking, when armed ICE agents speedily blocked off the street in front of her, and swarmed the white pickup truck in front of her grabbing its driver. She said people came from throughout the neighborhood with whistles to record them grabbing that driver, and as she was trying to leave, ICE agents swarmed her vehicle as well and proceeded to open her window and door and remove her from her car, slamming her facedown in the street. She said a Federal agent entered her vehicle and parked it like this, before taking her away. I don’t know the story of the pickup driver. I'll be honest, I didn't really believe what I was hearing at first until she showed me the video that a neighbor filmed, confirming the whole story. I asked her to airdrop it to me so I could make this post. This woman was just driving and minding her business one moment, and the next she was snatched, she told me that they said she was "obstructing an investigation." After 24 hours in Federal custody, they released her with only the white shirt she was wearing when I met her, into the -8F cold where her sister was waiting, and they didn't give her back her car keys. She came to make sure her vehicle was still there. There's a lot of people on this platform making all sorts of excuses for the Federal government's despicable behavior in Minneapolis, but what it comes down to is this: they are out of control. They are Out. Of. Control. This woman's story that I saw firsthand is emblematic of the institutional rot at the core of DHS, CBP, and ICE. The agents involved in both shootings this month were 8- and 10-year veterans, not untrained amateurs. There have been three homicides in Minneapolis thus far in 2026- 66% of them have been US citizens murdered by the Federal government. My city is being subjected to a full-fledged occupation by lawless, unprofessional, un-American thugs. They have gone far beyond their stated mission of removing violent criminals and illegal aliens. They have all of us looking at every SUV, every vehicle with out-of-state plates, every vehicle with more than 2 men in it with caution, scrutiny, and concern. Many of my friends have bought guns or have gone to get their conceal carry permits, to stay safe from their own government because it's better to be judged by twelve than to be carried by six. Minneapolis will survive this and will come out stronger for it, because we learned in 2020 that there's no one coming to save us, it's up to us to show up for our friends and neighbors. But people need to know that if the Federal government are doing this to us: You're not safe. You're next.

Shut down Times Square for New Year’s. No fireworks while bombs are falling. No celebrations while lives are taken by imperialism. Solidarity > silence. We love to see it NEW YORK 🗽 FYI MAINSTREAM NEWS IS NOT COVERING THIS SO YOU COVER IT!

These foreigners came to America and fell Victim to the idea of the model minority myth. No Vicram, White America does not care that you and Vivek have spent your lives attempting to assimilate with White America. Actually the model minority myth was just a ploy by whites to insult the work ethic of black Americans. As you can see they (white Americans) do not truly believe you are net positive to their future and prosperity.

Your dogshit Autonomous car can't do this

House party with tunes by DJ Garvey tonight. His first song was “Watch out for the big girls!”

After today’s events, I totally get CEO Julie Sweet’s reaction at that panel from someone in the crowd just standing up and saying her name. The Sarah Paulson American Horror Storyesque shriek was completely warranted.

So weird how the Paper of Record buried stories like the strong U.S. economy and the plummeting crime rate until AFTER the election 🤔

It's utterly horrifying that we are forced to explain to the world how infants in Gaza, stripped of everything, could freeze to death in temperatures of 50°F (10°C). This isn't hyperbole; it's called hypothermia. Imagine flimsy tents that barely shield against the wind, no blankets, no warm clothes, and no protection from the bitter cold. For these children, the night is not just cold—it’s lethal.

The coverage couldn't be more night and day.

Jimmy Carter destabilized Jamaica to undermine the anti-imperialist demsoc leader Manley. Carter said he wanted to “knock the hell out of [him]” bc he was moving Jamaica closer to Cuba. His advisor Brzezinski planned CIA covert action and flooded 🇯🇲 w/guns + drugs to sow unrest.
