Remember when Lee Harvey Oswald defected to russia? And then changed his mind? I forget what happened after that.

Yep. Mmm hmmm.

Outright fascist.

Propaganda works. Period.

Cackling bags of evil jelly agree to let everyone smell the cake coming out of the oven. Film at 11.

Forgot the quote marks around “friends”.

Srs wtf If you want to live in russia, do that but everyone’s going to be part of one or more mafias, that’s how they do.

Got him confused with the NY AG from a few years ago. Not him.

After working at a corporate law firm, Vance moved to San Francisco to work in the tech industry. He served as a principal at Peter Thiel’s venture capital firm, Mithril Capital.[21]

In 2016, Harper published Vance’s book, Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis. It was on The New York Times Best Seller list in 2016 and 2017. It was a finalist for the 2017 Dayton Literary Peace Prize[22] and winner of the 2017 Audie Award for Nonfiction. The New York Times called it “one of the six best books to help understand Trump’s win”.[3] The Washington Post called him the “voice of the Rust Belt”,[2] while The New Republic criticized him as “liberal media’s favorite white trash–splainer” and the “false prophet of blue America.”[23] Economist William Easterly, a West Virginia native, criticized the book, writing, “Sloppy analysis of collections of people—coastal elites, flyover America, Muslims, immigrants, people without college degrees, you name it—has become routine. And it’s killing our politics.”[24]

Article: The changes come as Republican lawmakers step up efforts to punish businesses that consider climate change and the environment in their operations.

TL;DR: RepubliQans fucking everything up to destroy the planet, yet again

Comments: Dang Bank of America! oooo that bank! banks, right?! Let’s all make sure not to vote for the current Democrat

Member that time when Microsoft got dragged in federal court for ten years before they eventually decided Microsoft was a monopoly for forcing their browser on everyone and then sweet fuck all happened to them for it?

Well the judiciary sure has changed - now they’re way more computer savvy and they . . . checks earpice . . . I’m sorry, that should be: they’re just as fucking clueless as they were thirty years ago if not even more so. We’re screwed, goodnight.

[Dionne] Warwick was the first to respond on X, denying she was going and calling the PAC’s announcement “absolutely ridiculous.”

Soon afterward, Martin Sheen, who played the president on the TV series “The West Wing,” took to Instagram.

“I do not endorse RFK Jr. nor will I be attending his party,” Sheen said. He added that he’s “whole heartedly supporting Joe Biden and the Democratic ticket in 2024.”

Cripes so they just said a bunch of people who definitely weren’t coming were coming and now that they’re not we’re taking our ball and going home? Classy.

We’re in the golden era of batshit incompetent fascism.

Could be worse.

no-paywall link to the WP piece?

Wait, you mean russia would use social media and the batshit morons who follow them to disrupt a country’s political landscape???

A rod or branch serving as a roost for a bird.

It’s perfectly cromulent.

“Totalled” doesn’t have the same joi de vivre

I suspect the answer lies in the method by which people saw the question. Like, if you went up to people standing in line at a bank, or outside a concert or soemthing and pulled out a paper-based photograph and said “I saw this yesterday, what could it be?” you’d get the answers you were probably expecting. (As to the actual quesiton, yeah I dunno)

But if you post contrails on a website and say something to the effect of look at these contrails, then all the contextual clues you’ve given so far are the same that have been used by a lot of Qanon and other batshit crazy people who recently decided a demented orange rapist was equivalent to Jesus for them. I’m just saying it’s a totally different context from what you were probably intending.

That’s my guess as to “why” people saw it through a lens of “politics”. Less about actual scientific content, more about media theory.

Yep. GRU / FSB propaganda scored a huge run of hits. Still very popular even.

Agreed. Most American polls are still done by phone, so it only counts people who answer unknown calls, and then answer a series of questions about their beliefs. Which just gets more unbelievable every day.

“He calculated that a closer relationship was necessary for economic reasons”

Bwahahaha! Did he! Did he calculate that?! Ahhhhh fucking hell.

He calculated that it would be better not to be up shit creek without a goddamned paddle.
