the democrats deliberately boosted the candidacy of donald trump and ran status-quo empty suits against him and those brilliant strategies got the US two trump terms. a few oddly still have the audacity to blame the left for their lack of enthusiasm in cheering on these obviously awful plans

engineering is awesome bc it breaks your brain. after enough time you’ll have realizations like β€œ1 millimeter is actually huge” and β€œ100 milliseconds is really slow”

I’m sorry to say this folks but we have to bring bullying back. We need to bully children off the internet. At this point I am not above it. Go put on a propeller hat little man. Ride a bike. Kick a ball.

It’s been like this for years, they’ve been giving this tech to the police and ICE. Yesterday was the best time to destroy whatever ring (or other wireless internet based camera) products you have

seriously if you have a ring camera throw that shit in the trash. Think for two seconds about what this tech actually means.

I’d also like to take a moment to spotlight this badass piece from @ropearrow.bsky.social ! This is concept art for the project I’m working on but I thought it fit the announcement well.

I’ve been on the fence for months but I’m shutting the Patreon down at the end of February. Been struggling to put content out when I’d rather just bury my nose in my project.

It’s been such a joy to run, and I’m proud of what I was able to do. Thanks yall :)

go ahead. post another "take." tell me that not liking AI is elitist. accuse Dril of sabotaging Harris's chances at winning the election. say that it's "white male privilege" to not vote for Newsom. come up with a woke way to support genocide. call me gay for liking corn dogs.

Months after Epstein’s 2006 arrest in Palm Beach on charges of unlawful sex acts with a minor, Epstein received an email that was signed by Stanley Pottinger, a New York attorney and former assistant attorney general for civil rights under Presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford.

β€œIt’s been awhile since we’ve seen each other, but reading about the excesses of the Palm Beach cops, I had to drop you a line of support,” Pottinger wrote in a note forwarded to Epstein in September 2006. β€œThe small minded of the world don’t like thinkers and doers, especially when they succeed.” 

He told Epstein the situation would pass and that he looked forward to β€œhearing the funny side of this thing.”

Pottinger, _who went on to represent victims against Epstein_, died in November 2024.
