    It started with an incident that occurred on April 10 when the FBI chief panicked after he struggled to log into an internal computer system. He behaved frantically and began calling aides to announce that he had been fired by the White House.

    Two people familiar with the matter described to The Atlantic that his behaviour was a “freak out.”

    The reports also alleged that a SWAT team had to once ask for breaching gear after Patel was uncontactable behind a locked door.

    That’s not alcoholism, he’s coked to the fucking gills…

    It’s really common these days with heavy drinkers, because it lets you drink longer. Eventually you crash and nothing can wake you up unless someone shoves a bump up your nose.

    Then you’re up and running for a couple more days doing crazy shit.

    The staying awake for days is why meth heads are so crazy, but you can do the same on coke if you have a key to the evidence locker…

    Shits gonna keep getting crazier too.



  • Set in 1917, it focuses on a 12-year-old girl being raised in a brothel in Storyville, the red-light district of New Orleans, by her prostitute mother. Barbara Steele, Diana Scarwid, and Antonio Fargas appear in supporting roles. The film is based on the true account of a young girl who was sexually exploited by being groomed to engage in prostitution as a child, a theme that was recounted in historian Al Rose’s 1974 book Storyville, New Orleans: Being an Authentic Illustrated Account of the Notorious Red-Light District.

    They could absolutely make that today, especially if casting an 18+ actor to play the lead…

    Like, who do you imagine stopping that unless you think it would require graphic and illegal material?


  • and inevitably someone else will disagree.

    Because literally any movie could be made today…

    Whether it would be shown in theaters or even assigned a rating is different, but anyone can make a movie about anything today.

    There was some valuable discussion to be had even just 20 years ago. But in 2026 anyone saying:

    That movie couldn’t be made today.

    Doesn’t know what they’re talking about. Like, they’re basically just saying they don’t understand what a film festival is…


  • “The difference is that the Strait of Hormuz - we know where it is and we know how large it is… the issue that we’re facing with Anthropic is that it’s the unknown, unknown.

    Someone get Donald Rumsfield his royalty check…

    I can’t believe people are still using that shit.

    Anyways,

    AI companies are saying it’s a huge danger but are ever so graciously willing to sell it to existing corps to fix the vulnerabilies it can supposedly circumvent…

    Before it circumvents them…

    Even tho the AI companies are also saying it will be able to circumvent anything regardless.

    And even if they tell people it can make something it cant also break (impossible) in 6 months they’ll repeat the process

    A never ending cycle where they sell the shiny new model and corps pay for it because eventually hackers will have it too when it’s publicly released

    And endless cat and mouse game where AI constantly accumulates more and more wealth.


  • Back in the day, certain slaves were “house slaves” who were still treated like shit and beat. But were “allowed” to do work in the plantation house instead of the fields.

    They were often more racist then the slave owners. The only way they could build themselves up was by tearing their brothers and sisters down.

    The worst the slave owner consider them, the better the ones in the house seemed by default.

    While Thomas should be aware of all that as a “legal scholar” who would have had to study shit like this for years…

    The mentality isn’t relegated to just slavery.

    Pick any random minority, and you can find a member who does similar.

    So he probably wouldn’t mind if slavery came back, because in his head he’d still be one of the “valuable exceptions” and has done the mental gymnastics to think he’d even hold onto his position.

    Understanding how they think is important to stop them.


  • The gross part is how they “recruit with daughters”.

    They raise their own daughters deep in the religion, then push them to do anything to get a young officer to marry them so they can convert them.

    Like, it happens all over, but nowhere worse than AF academy. In SC there’s a marine Academy and a Navy Nuclear school, they’re out on the prowl there too. Anywhere young military members are, you’ll find a disproportionate amount of young attractive evangelical women willing to go absolutely crazy and then pull a 180 after the wedding night.

    It’s like a psuedo rumspringer the Amish do. As soon as their daughters are 18, they’re given the green the light to commit any kind of sin to engrapt a husband for the cause.





  • If you had a few more sentences, you wouldn’t have had to type all that…

    The first few lines of the prayer were written by Tarantino and Roger Avary for the hit film Pulp Fiction. The second part of the verse is taken from the Bible, where the speaker condemns the Philistines and the Cherethims, who were alleged to be enemies of the Israelites.

    In Pulp Fiction, the character played by Samuel L Jackson falsely claimed the entirety of the verse was Ezekiel 25:17. He utters the verse before executing a terrified young criminal.___




  • Pending an investigation where another cop has already documented his behavior and zero cops took part in his plan…

    Like, he should absolutely be held without bail.

    But are you seriously arguing being charged with a crime should result in immediate termination?

    Are you aware that if found guilty that pay is almost always recouped?

    Like…

    That’s how it should work.

    I get being mad at cops in general, but this is legit a one in a million case where shit is happening exactly as it should. If you just want to blindless cir lejerk about how cops are pieces of shit as demographic, there’s plenty of places where the article isn’t about one single piece of shit and literally every other cop seemingly doing what they should.

    Don’t just blindly rage about shit, if you do you’re fall for a charismatic twitch streamer who just wants eyeballs and views.

    If you’re mad (and we should all be) at least be productive
