Saw one the other day that said that Iran started this war but we're going to finish it yada yada. It made me think we are invading.

Who is counting "points"? He's responsible for what he did. I'm glad he knew it and had to have bad feelings. Life. History. Politics. The passage of times. It's stuff that happens not some weird game.

Yeah. Wasn't Rick Wilson the guy who really pushed her? Iirc from one of the books he was the one who appealed to McCain's macho streak with "You can either lose with Lieberman or step up and try to win with Palin". And McCain was all "I PLAY TO WIN"!!!

I think he voted to save Obamacare and was generally critical of Trump because he regretted his role in fueling the hate machine.

Re Palin, I have never quite forgiven McCain for opening this Pandora's Box of hate and I fully believe that his vote to save Obamacare was based on his feeling that he had to resist what he had wrought.

That's how it's always worked. White kids are "just boys", black kids are "predators" (the views expressed are not mine)

There is definitely anti-Semitic graffiti and harassment in the Sacramento area, which includes ElDo County. Most of it's your usual graffiti, swastikas, flyers, etc.

botbchimchim.bsky.social @botbchimchim.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

There are also your standard anti semite racists who are emboldened. A state rep near me gets a lot of messages from people referencing WP and N-Notc sayings. No one referencing the 14 words cares about Gazans or politics in Israel.

Not parks National Forest. I don't think he needs a buy in. I've lived in these places and for every responsible rock crawler and dirt biker there are a bunch of people who don't give a F about nature but love engines and tearing shit up. Also a bone to city yayhoos who are idiots.

I like Pritzker but I want AOC to stay in the legislature for a while at least. She has big work to do there. Senate or House. But honestly, there are a lot of good candidates out there man. Rahm is not one of them.

To be a dick to people who love the beauty in America. To try to drive a wedge between people who use the outdoors. Because his soul needs to feed on destruction.

Yeah. Honestly this incident had less to do with "woke" and more to do with organizational politics.

botbchimchim.bsky.social @botbchimchim.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

The weakness of this offer is that it explicitly requires that the US government be serious. That is just too high a bar. What kind of deal do you have for an unserious regime run on braggadocio, corruption, lies, and testosterone supplements?

Gavin has had his moments. I still do remember that he cracked the seal on gay marriage by saying fuck it and ordering the SF clerk to start performing them. He's also good at defending CA vs detractors. He deals good sass. But I really don't think he can win a general POTUS election.

He's really just draping himself in MAGA, he just doesn't think Trump is the right leader any more. White supremacy, misogyny, isolationism, etc. But yes, he plans to be all in for post Trump maga.

I haven't priced sea bass recently. Is that the opulence of concern?

I would have been more offended if they had fancy steaks.

botbchimchim.bsky.social @botbchimchim.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Do you mean they shouldn't serve a meal at all or that sea bass is too expensive? The ingredients themselves except maybe the sea bass don't seem so excessive. Squash, rice, bok choy, fish, cherries. Ok, a little irony on the cherries. At least wild mushrooms haven't been recalled.

If you are truly concerned with PACs influencing politicians on ICE issues I'd look at lobbyists for private prisons.

botbchimchim.bsky.social @botbchimchim.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

AIPAC isn't the only big PAC out there. The problem with PACS is a much bigger thing than AIPAC. And specifically I've never heard anyone suggest that AIPAC is telling Congress to condone ICE shooting non-criminal Hispanic people. Take your Henry Ford KKK conspiracy shit back to Idaho.

I'm not sure how their position is helping Dartmouth's reputation. No one needs to go to an Ivy to learn Advanced AI.

I'm not a fan of BN but this one isn't about him or this year's spin on George Lincoln Rockwell's ZOG bullshit. This is about the GOP's cruel racist policies and Congress's responsibility to stand up to them. Don't give them a pass by blaming everything in the world on Israel.

That is so fucking lame. Truly. Wtf. How fucking hard is it to write a stupid op-ed with proper grammar?

botbchimchim.bsky.social @botbchimchim.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

It was so over the top that I felt like it kind of condoned racism that did not look like that. It was the 80's in NYC and Howard Beach and Bernie Goetz and Yusef Hawkins et al and Trump's attack on the Central Park 5 and people still felt like racism was just a Southern thing.

botbchimchim.bsky.social @botbchimchim.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Oh not us. It was a summer class History of Film and they just played it for us with no warning. The whole thing. I was traumatized. I guess I'm glad I watched it but I'm glad it wasn't a thing that shitty future MAGA Southern boys had regular access to when we were kids.

botbchimchim.bsky.social @botbchimchim.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Birth of the Nation was more of an aspirational how to lynch manual. I think it hit me harder because I was Southern but it was shown in a time that white people in this northern city the school was in had just murdered black people for walking through the neighborhood and no one connected it.

Oddly enough we had no real discussion about the content, just the importance of the innovative techniques. Just as well since as the only Southerner in the room I probably would have said something stupid. I'd watched a lot of soft lost cause stuff and knew it for what it was but I felt like...

botbchimchim.bsky.social @botbchimchim.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

That's where I saw it. I'm still dubious that it was necessary. I'm from the South and I was like "Oh hell no this shit is just dangerous!" I dunno, maybe we should have been forced to confront the past by watching it but I knew kids who would have watched it on repeat. Nope.

botbchimchim.bsky.social @botbchimchim.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

As a southerner raised on GWTW I never saw Birth of the Nation until a college film class and I was SHOCKED. You couldn't make it now because its importance is in being technically advanced for its time. Make a new thing. It's racist propaganda that only deserves to exist to remind us of bad history

In my town they refer to this neighborhood near me as "blighted". It has almost no empty properties. It has tons of active small businesses like auto repair, upholstering, sign making, food manufacturing, fishing supplies, live poultry, theater supplies, boxing, etc plus cheap apts. Blighted my ass

I think it's pretty obvious that McDs isn't closed during school hours so that should be your clue . I get that sometimes it's hard to tell but come on man.

It could be picking up chatter on social media. Some of the kids who shot schools have gotten on line encouragement. There are some sick fuckers out there.
