Richard Raiswell @devilprof.bsky.social · 06/01/2026Read this about the condition of the press in Weimar by 1930. Think its resonance speaks for itself 010
Richard Raiswell @devilprof.bsky.social · 30/12/2025Oh, just like the Madagascar plan the German foreign office floated around in 1940 to “resettle” all Europe’s Jews there as an SS-run Jewish homeland. 151

Richard Raiswell @devilprof.bsky.social · 10/10/2025Presumably Qataris will be deported by ICE if they leave the base 000
Richard Raiswell @devilprof.bsky.social · 30/09/2025I think part of the rules of war stuff is so that the enemy doesn’t do the same to you. 131
Richard Raiswell @devilprof.bsky.social · 28/09/2025Presumably, he’ll be deploying the army to prevent America’s pending defeat at the Ryder Cup, at this stage. 120
Richard Raiswell @devilprof.bsky.social · 22/09/2025Catholics used to wait hundreds of years before making saints. That ensured that there was no one left alive to remember that the real guy was actually a prick. Ah, the good old days. 0120
Richard Raiswell @devilprof.bsky.social · 19/09/2025And of course everything pumped through that foreign company will be captured by homeland security. There is no reason not to capture that data about future foreign leaders and what they have written. Nothing about which to be concerned there! 110

Richard Raiswell @devilprof.bsky.social · 12/07/2025Have been talking about a satanic renaissance with @mikkibrock.bsky.social and @vetur.bsky.social but not quite the same 030
Richard Raiswell @devilprof.bsky.social · 11/07/2025Yeah. Perhaps history will have its revenge. But so what? He’ll remain chief until weeks before his death, staggeringly wealthy and ruining people’s lives. And nothing will happen. Nothing. 010
Richard Raiswell @devilprof.bsky.social · 30/06/2025“Delivering for the American people”? What? He’s a postie now? 000

Richard Raiswell @devilprof.bsky.social · 10/06/2025But this isn’t what it’s about. It’s about seeing how far American troops are prepared to go. It’s a potential Reichstag fire moment. 000
Richard Raiswell @devilprof.bsky.social · 06/06/2025Thank you for your kind words. Too long in the making but it has arrived. None of the three of us have seen it yet—but we have read it a few times! 110
Richard Raiswell @devilprof.bsky.social · 02/06/2025So much of what administrators and other outsiders think we do is modelled on introductory classes in the sciences where students only need to commit certain bits of information to memory—so of course they think that everyone else do the same so it can all be do e by AI 110

Richard Raiswell @devilprof.bsky.social · 23/05/2025This “omnipotent” God of these people really turns out to be a huge wimp if he needs people like this to do his job! 010
