These people sound like my then 3 year old making the case to me that, "People will give us monies and then we can go to Disney World!"

Me: People? What people?

Lil' one: (looking at me like I have six heads) You know, Mama, people.

Me: And why would they just give us money?

Lil' one: (exasperated) BECAUSE!

Unfortunately, she probably grew out of that logic, and missed out on a lucrative career in Republican politics.

Indeed she did.

When I told my children we didn’t have enough money to buy something. They’d suggest going to the ATM. (They did witness money magically appearing after all!) 😄

I’m reminded that everyone knew there were weapons of mass destruction because there were weapons of mass destruction.

It just doesn’t stop.

When I challenged a right-winger on where the weapons of mass destruction WERE, he claimed that they had all been hidden, because OF COURSE, DUH!

Let's not forget Don Rumsfeld's description when he said "We know where they are. They're in the area around Tikrit and Baghdad and east, west, south and north somewhat."

So, according to these geniuses, Jews hate white people. I am Jewish and married to a white, I have white kids and grandkids. Wait! I AM white.

There may be some darker skinned Jews among the Sephardic Jews, but these MAGAt antisemites wouldn't know a Sephardim if they wore a sign and introduced themselves. These people make me SICK.

Not only do we hate white people (Ha!) but we, all measly 15,000,000 of us, have major super secret powers over the entire world. The sociopathic anti-semites crappy (non) logic is stunning. Apparently, although we have all control we haven’t been able to stop the constant hate, pogroms and holocausts that have been perpetrated against us throughout our history - hmmm?! 🤔 🧐

His spaceship just blew up too. Maybe "all the money in the world" should pay attention to who he hired and what they are doing. Oh, excuse me.That Blood Diamond rich kid wouldn't know a rocket motor from an Osterizer if he bumped his nose on one.

I think he bought Twitter just to fuck around with it. Unfortunately, he doesn't have to give a rat's ass if its value falls to nothing.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t Chris Wray appointed by Trump?

Yep! Savor the irony

There seems to be no shortage of that.

Yes. So while listening to MTG I was wondering whether Wray was thinking about which party he belongs to, and whether he wants to continue on with this party.

Oh Jeff, you left out how Charlie Kirk came out on X and immediately called for a boycott of all those companies. I guess he's all in on anti-Semitism as well. We already know he's a white Supremacist.

Though I'd love to be a fly on the wall of the RWGB household trying to explain to little BillyJoeBob and Suzy why they're not going to Disney World because mommy and daddy are boycotting Disney because some talking head said they should boycott it.

What's infuriating about these numbskulls is they're only falling on their faces in front of people who use their brains to actually think, as opposed to merely keeping their skulls from caving in.

Let's isolate this and inject it into the right-wing media bubble: "Charlie Kirk came out on X"

I am maintaining my vow to spend an equal amount of time with dumpster trumpsters as I do with flat earthers. My life remains peaceful while keeping the ability to laugh and laugh at the shitshow.

I am sure there is a considerable amount of crossover between the two groups, which should help you with keeping your vow.

Was anyone else surprised that IBM, Apple, Disney, Paramount, NBCUniversal, Comcast, Lionsgate and Warner Bros. Discovery were still advertising on Twitter?

Expand full comment

My question is how long will they stay off the Twit? Will they wait until the latest kerfuffle blows over or stick to some principles?

Expand full comment

That's right, several said they were "suspending" ads on X rather than ending ads on X.

Expand full comment

Until, I assume, the stink blows over and the American people's 2-week collective memory fades; to be replaced by a new-new "crisis" about which nobody can do anything.

Expand full comment

Good point. Semantics

Expand full comment

Probably until the next Musk fuckup.

Expand full comment

...or new phony "crisis" that's existed for years.

Expand full comment

YES, That was my first reaction as well! I keep an ad blocker on my browser so I never see any of them, but, hot damn, they are pretending to have a line now? Propaganda wasn't enough? Election interference from foreign adversaries isn't a line in the sand? Gleefully weaponizing the first amendment isn't a bridge too far? Afraid this is a firestorm you would have to defend? To be a fly on the wall when that decision was made...

Not I, but I am glad they finally got shamed away from it.

Nope, not with a zillion eyeballs still on it.

Frankly I was surprised to hear they were advertising on the Xitter at all.

All I see on there are 7th-tier outfits selling bullshit like a sheet that looks like a postcard, phony A.I., and books-you-don't-care-about.

Adrenochrome?

Expand full comment

The adrenochrome conspiracy, a bizarre theory with antisemitic roots, posits that Satan-worshipping global and Hollywood elites run a massive child trafficking ring to drain their blood and harvest the chemical adrenochrome to stay young, and has been embraced by subscribers of the QAnon.

They're gonna wind up in a nursing home, down on all fours hiding in the closet. My older sister has; the decades of Fox-watching and bible-thumping is to blame for this, I can't think of any other explanation.

I never really understood antisemitic behavior or how serious it is until I read Eco's Prague Cemetery. Granted, it is a novel, but it is based in the middle ages and it struck me how long this crappy QAnon behavior has been going. And I thought the cultish behavior outlined in Foucault's Pendulum was bad enough.

Expand full comment

It is just SO ODD that a book released in 2011 and has been in the deepest part of my Kindle library keeps coming up this week! I STILL haven't read it, but obviously everything is telling me that I should get on it. This is the THIRD time in a week I've seen a reference to "The Prague Cemetary."

Expand full comment

Hahaha I am still reading a Stephen King short story in Bazaar of Bad Dreams. It had been so long since I read it that every story is read like I am reading it for the 1st time. One of the best stories there was about a Kindle from another dimension arriving ordered from Amazon. You would find stories by Hemingway, Poe, et. al. that were written in another dimension, not this one. And it goes from there in King fashion to even weirder things like an experimental site where you can read local news stories that were written a few weeks into the future :O Our heroes try to stop a bad event from happening and fall afoul of the "Paradox Laws" and get in real hot water. But no more spoilers!

I liked Eco's Foucault's Pendulum more, but it was too good a story that he could barely repeat that achievement again. Prague Cemetery is his second best IMHO

For anyone looking for that Kindle story, it's called "Ur".
