  • I was just listening to the audiobook for Enlightenment Now.

    And man is this a gut-punch: he was talking about the overall trend, worldwide, of capital punishment trending downwards. Including in the United States.

    He talks a bit about how the U.S. is an outlier among first world countries in that we still even have it, and how we are in the company of some rather awful nation-states when it comes to still having the death penalty - China, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, etc. You know, real beacons of freedom. Then he quotes someone (?) that said it may be possible that even in America, and even in the Southern states, it may trend to zero.

    By 2026. The book is from 2018.

    Well, I guess we missed that chance. But as long as we keep electing stupid apes like donnie and having bloodthirsty assholes like Hegseth who clearly peaked in high school running things…it might be a while.





  • Also, why can’t ding-a-ling donnie even pronounce “vegan” properly, for fucks sake?

    He sounds like a goddamned alien in a skin suit when he talks about Talarico.

    It’s 2026, and assholes like donnie are still trying to paint being plant-based as totally gay and fem or whatever. I swear that assholes like donnie are going to lose their fucking minds if vat grown scales up, because lots of people are going to eat something that doesn’t involve suffering. If being a vegetarian for 20+ years is any indication, they won’t be able to ever shut the fuck up about it if they are even sitting near someone eating vat-grown…

    Of course, some states have preemptively banned it and it’s pretty easy to guess which ones. 🙄









  • To conduct the arrest, the ICE officers used two vehicles to block Bergal’s car. After he refused orders to exit his car, Bergal accelerated and smashed into the ICE vehicles, Charles said.

    Charles said Bergal “then weaponized his vehicle and proceeded to accelerate, going towards other officers.” The officers responded by firing their weapons, believing “that their life and the life of the partners and general public were in danger,” he said.

    Is there video?

    Because I remember the lying liars saying the same kind of shit before…
