This part of the whole manifesto jumped into my mind after recent rampant social media trends

People fear the new and unknown. They prefer the old, the known and checked truths. They are afraid of what the new can bring to them. They are afraid that they can lose what they have. Their fear is so strong that it has proclaimed the revolutionary a foe and the free idea--its weapon. That’s their fault. People must leave this fear behind and go ahead. What’s the sense to stick to the little you have now when you can have more tomorrow. Everything they must do is stretch their hands and feel for the new; give freedom to thoughts, ideas, to words:

“A Cyberpunk Manifesto”

Poland announced it was launching an investigation into whether Epstein was tied to Russian intelligence. “More and more leads, more and more information, and more and more commentary in the global press all relate to the suspicion that this unprecedented paedophilia scandal was co-organised by Russian intelligence services,” Polish prime minister Donald Tusk said. “I don’t need to tell you how serious the increasingly likely possibility that Russian intelligence services co-organised this operation is for the security of the Polish state. This can only mean that they also possess compromising materials against many leaders still active today.”

First issue of what we now call Troll Dolls.
When they first hit the market, they were called Dammit Dolls.

Gdybym chciał zbudować superprocę, łączącą bloczki od łuku i sprężyny skrętne typu balisty, To jaki byłby najlepszy materiał na owe sprężyny? Lity elastomer? Plecionka sznurów gumowych? Wiązka linek z jakiegoś rozciągliwego materiału? Źródła żeglarskie wskazują na nylon, ale może jest coś jeszcze lepszego?

Trump posted: “The Super Bowl Halftime Show is absolutely terrible, one of the worst EVER! It makes no sense, is an affront to the Greatness of America, and doesn’t represent our standards of Success, Creativity, or Excellence. Nobody understands a word this guy is saying, and the dancing is disgusting, especially for young children that are watching from throughout the USA and all over the World. (Note: I wouldn’t mention children if I were you.) This ‘Show’ is just a ‘slap in the face’ to our Country. There is nothing inspirational about this mess of a Halftime Show, and watch, it will get great reviews from the Fake News Media, because they haven’t got a clue of what is going on in the REAL WORLD.”

Yay!

Last night, Bad Bunny highlighted Puerto Rican history, beginning with the workers at the heart of colonial sugar production and moving through to those same cane workers hanging from electric poles in an evocation of the recent blackouts in the country’s inadequate electric grid, poorly addressed by the U.S. government after Hurricane Maria wiped out the system in 2017. He carried the flag of the island from before the U.S. takeover—an independence flag banned from 1948 to 1957— its light blue triangle picked up in various fabrics throughout the performance.

Saving For Private Ryan

#IToldYouSo #Maxwell #extortion #trump

#GhislaineMaxwell stated today what I figured she'd say because she has conditional leverage over Trump as evidenced by her cushy treatment in prison as long as she keeps her mouth shut. Now she wants a #TrumpPardon but that presents a paradox for The Don: if he doesn't pardon her she'll be pissed enough to squawk anyway, and if he does, she gets to squawk with impunity.

Either way, she sings like a canary.

On August 11, 2017, the influence of the Great Replacement theory on Americans burst into public awareness when racists, antisemites, white nationalists, Ku Klux Klan members, neo-Nazis, and other alt-right groups met in Charlottesville, Virginia, to “Unite the Right.” They chanted “you will not replace us,” “Jews will not replace us,” and “blood and soil.” In addition to that Nazi slogan, they gave Nazi salutes and carried Nazi insignia.

Rather than denouncing them, President Trump refused to condemn them, telling a reporter that there were “very fine people, on both sides.”
