alexdrake.bsky.social @alexdrake.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I want to know... how is this not legally stalking? 010
alexdrake.bsky.social @alexdrake.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Its a little dumber than that. Other people living differently scares them, because it implies there might be a better way. They cant handle anything that hints that they might not be perfect. 030
alexdrake.bsky.social @alexdrake.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Strictly speaking, theyre part of an older tradition. Why read the Bible when you can have your Pastor read it to you? He can make sure you get the important bits... and let you know all the Context that casts it in another light. 000
alexdrake.bsky.social @alexdrake.bsky.social · 02/10/2026There are three parts to a Republican Sentence. A noun, a verb, and Obama. Some times they mix it up and pepper in a slur. 000
alexdrake.bsky.social @alexdrake.bsky.social · 02/10/2026A shocking amount of the Right Wing Media ecosystem is used to their audience being conditioned by Bircher Propoganda. Theyre having a rude awakening, because relying on trigger words to brand people as evil backfires when you aim at Mr. Rogers, and those like him. 020

alexdrake.bsky.social @alexdrake.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I mean, give her time and she would eventually kill her captors if they didn't keep a sufficient eye on her. Their death would not be one I'd want. 120
alexdrake.bsky.social @alexdrake.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Because the process should just be a Judge asking the Executive Branch if the person before them meets the requirements, and then asking if it has any objections. If there aren't any, the dude gets the thing. If not, we let an adversarial process WITH LAWYERS go forth. 050
alexdrake.bsky.social @alexdrake.bsky.social · 29/09/2026You can get into an actual court if they don't follow procedure, or you have a constitutional claim. Otherwise, everything going on right now is considered to constitute "Due Process". This is bullshit and needs to be reformed. Ideally by splitting it out into the Judiciary, where it belongs. 2160
alexdrake.bsky.social @alexdrake.bsky.social · 29/09/2026He's not a Judge. His commission isn't under Article III. The Immigration "Courts" are part of the Department of Homeland Security, and their staff (including "Judges") are Executive Branch Employees. Nothing in there is legally a criminal matter, so you don't have a right to an attorney. 1261

alexdrake.bsky.social @alexdrake.bsky.social · 29/09/2026If Bibi loses power, Hamas will need to provoke a retaliation from the successor to maintain power. If Hamas loses power, then Bibi will need to get Palestinians attacking Israelis again to maintain power. They're in a symbiotic cycle, and the only way to break it is for them to lose power together 100
alexdrake.bsky.social @alexdrake.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I think the problem right now is that everyone making decisions is in power because of war: Hamas controls Gaza because it fights Israel. Bibi's party wins elections because they fight Hamas. Step One to peace is making the leaders on both sides STOP having those aligned interests. 200
alexdrake.bsky.social @alexdrake.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Why do HALF their statements sound like something a grown man (or woman) should only say in a BDSM scene? Mad Max had less fetish culture vibes than they do. 000
alexdrake.bsky.social @alexdrake.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I would like to stop hearing Republicans open their mouth, and have my first thought be: You would be a good person if you'd walked into the right dungeon at the right time of your life. But because you can't just be kinky, you're making it everyone else's problem. 100
alexdrake.bsky.social @alexdrake.bsky.social · 28/09/2026The worst part is that he was right. Nowhere is safer than behind a horde of pissed off Ents. 1220
alexdrake.bsky.social @alexdrake.bsky.social · 28/09/2026There's a point where you get so into Eugenics that you cant see women as people. Instead, you see genes for potential kids. 010
alexdrake.bsky.social @alexdrake.bsky.social · 28/09/2026It is the fear that men will treat you the way you treat women. Its internally rational... but one of the foundations is your interest in women being isolated to sex. 020
alexdrake.bsky.social @alexdrake.bsky.social · 27/09/2026He wants the US to be the buyer of last resort, when the rest of the planet gets off oil. Which is so damn stupid. Oil has better uses than as a fuel source. If we get off it, then we can make more shit. These morons aren't even interested in PROFIT. The Ferengi would hang them. 030

alexdrake.bsky.social @alexdrake.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Diacounting the Diet Klan, the Republican base is locked in as part of The Moral Majority, or was raised on John Birch Society talking points that their medo ecosystem exists to reinforce. Meanwhile, the marginal voter is disengaged from politics. Political Ads are 90% of what they get in a year. 1100
alexdrake.bsky.social @alexdrake.bsky.social · 18/09/2026No. They really dont. They're banking on it scaring off underlings, and making the DoJ staffing problem worse by adding to the looming consequences... so that more unqualified people get put in position to fuck up. Nothing punctures a strong man quite like public failure. 030
alexdrake.bsky.social @alexdrake.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Unfortunately, politics progress like Empires fall and loading bars fill. Painfully slowly over a long time, then you blink and it hits 99%, stalls for a moment, and then finishes happening. 100
alexdrake.bsky.social @alexdrake.bsky.social · 18/09/2026The useful point is that Operators are a defective product that doesnt do what they're advertised to do. Thats a much easier argument for killing the endeavor. In turn, that makes it harder for the US to quietly "intervene" in other countries, because we refuse to use infantry. 000
alexdrake.bsky.social @alexdrake.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Hegseth hates that because it isnt sexy. He needs it to be sexy. So they put pomp and circumstance and the trappings of "elite" status onto it to make it sexy. What actually wins wars is boring men in an office building arranging supply chains and coordinating deployments. Its boring. 000
alexdrake.bsky.social @alexdrake.bsky.social · 18/09/2026It's infantry. Trained to be good enough, equipped with shit that's good enough, and backed up by armor and air support that's good enough. All of it cheap and mass produced, to overwhelm an enemy with numbers great enough that quantity becomes a quality all its own. 100
alexdrake.bsky.social @alexdrake.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Thats not really the point. The point is that "Warriors" are bad at their job. "Operators" are just this century's wonder weapons: Only situationally useful, overpriced, and unable to match the performance of a dozen cheaper dudes. War is evil and evil is banal. The winning tactic is boring. 201
alexdrake.bsky.social @alexdrake.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Given that Iran has elected not to negotiate until we have a president who doesnt unilaterally alter the terms of his agreements... yes. Those folks burn a lot of Diesel. They'll vote to punish the one eating into their profit margin. 110
alexdrake.bsky.social @alexdrake.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Unfortunately for them, it turned out to be a vast TAPPED network. The Right Wing Pipeline already has outlets available for you at every step, ready to spoon feed you precisely what slop you're ready to accept. The sell you gold, boner pills, survival food, and supplements to "help" you. 030
alexdrake.bsky.social @alexdrake.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Because pissing off their (CBS's) Audience is how Fox gets such big numbers on their ratings. They don't have enough Business Brain to pause, and notice that Fox serves an entire demographic... and they serviced a different one. Just acting like Fox won't get you Fox's Audience. 31022
alexdrake.bsky.social @alexdrake.bsky.social · 16/09/2026We know what large Corporations do when they learn about a potential product defect. Just look to Asbestos, Tobacco, and Oil companies. They keep the science internal, and exert influence to try and slow independent research. This is a PR Move. This is an attempt at an off-ramp. 000
alexdrake.bsky.social @alexdrake.bsky.social · 16/09/2026He's unaware that the AI Companies are claiming a potentially Apocalyptic outcome as a way to justify pumping the breaks on the build-out, without undue impact on their stock valuations. The SpaceX (xAi) IPO terrified all of them. They've got the tiger by the tail, and are trying to buy time. 200
alexdrake.bsky.social @alexdrake.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Given that the last folks to really pull this trick off had ~3/4ths of the Pre-War German Military as their Street Gang to silence dissent, and overwhelming popular support from *appearing* to predict an Economic Collapse AND making it feel better... I don't expect they'll pull much off. 280
alexdrake.bsky.social @alexdrake.bsky.social · 16/09/2026It will be. Societies built on what the Right is pushing always collapse under their own weight. History isn't written by the Victors. It's written by the successors, looking back with the benefit of hindsight and knowing when things went wrong. 1221
alexdrake.bsky.social @alexdrake.bsky.social · 11/09/2026No joke, the entire Rationalist Movement is just reinventing Calvinism from first principles with a hypothetical future Robot God. It should be rejected for the same reasons. 030
alexdrake.bsky.social @alexdrake.bsky.social · 11/09/2026The same is happening across the board. Nothing happens in government without smart people on hand to make it happen, and the smart people are jumping ship. 130
alexdrake.bsky.social @alexdrake.bsky.social · 11/09/2026The DOJ is severely understaffed and buried under Habeas Petitions related to Steven Miller's Policies. They used to pick the Cream of the Crop, now they have to recruit on Twitter. ICE has to offer signing bonuses and drop its standards every few months, just to get people to bite at the apple. 140
alexdrake.bsky.social @alexdrake.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Everyone with an ounce of self-awareness and two brain cells to rub together is asking themselves the same question: What does my future look like if this doesn't work out?
