Don’t apologize. Own your puns, coward.

I’ve cracked as a joke more than once, but the only big difference between Trump and Hitler is that some of the people around Hitler actually knew how to build a car. Still lands, but it’s less funny.

Darkly amusing, in Arkansas they’re considering more work requirements for welfare. This time it’s the GOP base that is mad. Because the ads aren’t racist enough. The most prominent of them shows of white guy gamer named Brad and they’re flat out saying they’re mad because it’s not a black woman.

Yep. Though to be fair there isn’t really anything to be had. That the pentagon occasionally sees something on a radar screen that they can’t immediately identify really is as far as we’ve gotten to finding aliens.

Again, maybe they are and we just haven’t heard about it yet. That does seem like the kind of thing that works best in secret at least for now.

Listening to Tom Morillo‘s “Date Night”. It’s a song about a pair of Dutch teenage sisters in World War II that would seduce Nazis into going out into the woods with them, and then murder them. Based. But I’m a little surprised gay guys aren’t doing something similar to Maga Republicans. /1

Exactly how many fraudulent votes he attempted to get cast is not known to the public, but we know that it’s at least five digits in probably breaks six.

Gentle Reminder that in terms of the number of attempted fake votes, the number one perpetrator of voter fraud in the US is Donald Trump. We knew for a fact he called a bunch of states up and tried to pressure their election officials into fabricating fake votes for him in 2020. /1

Pretty sure it is illegal for the president to do that, like explicitly unconstitutional levels of illegal. Y’all in Congress just refuse to hold him accountable. [That to be fair, some of you are more at fault than others.]

Before there was no soul or Conscience, but at least had a mind. A pretty sharp one actually if it was entirely bent for grasping for power. Now, not even that. The hamster wheel may technically still be turning, but the hamster is just gone.

That can’t be right. Homer actually cares about his wife and children, sometimes even has his heart in the right place.

So apparently contaminations have gotten so bad that six hand soap brands have recalls for possible contamination with antibiotic resistant bacteria. Welcome to Trump‘s USA, were the only vegetable that is not recalled is Mitch McConnell.

It doesn’t matter what you’re advocating for, if all people see for your cause are obviously a bunch of assholes than people will associate it with being an asshole. Be it Jesus, veganism, or even basic empathy. If people just see stupid assholes, they’re gonna assume everyone’s a stupid asshole.

NuclearNoises @nuclearnoises.bsky.social · 16/09/2026
Apparently, I have an extremely hot take that having good intentions is not enough. You have to consider things like Praxis and optics and tactics when you advocate for something, anything. If you have good intentions but bad tactics, you could do more harm than good to your cause. /1

If this was something Alex Jones made up a few years ago I'd make fun of him for it, but the DHS have admitted that they do this. With AIs that can't even correctly tell you how many R's are in the word Strawberry. See? Like Minority Report, but Even Dumber.

NuclearNoises @nuclearnoises.bsky.social · 14/09/2026
Then they ask the AIs what the chances are that you recently committed a crime or are in the process of committing a crime. If any of the AIs answer in the positive for any of those questions they make up a pretext to pull you over like claiming you have an obscured license plate to search you. /2

"Predictive Intelligence Targeting Teams". It's like Minority Report, but Dumber. The DHS has admitted that it takes your cellphone data (which it should not have access too without a warrant), your purchase history (same), and your social media activity and feeds it all into a couple AI models./1

Yeah, I’ve pointed it out a few times. Sure, in terms of personnel being killed and hardware being destroyed the USA is winning, but by most other measures including actually achieving its strategic goals? Yeah, there’s no other way to say it. Iran is winning.

Hell, I’ll go even further. I legit wonder if Trump assumes that every man in the world wants to rape women and children as much as he does and it’s just a question of money and connections. Like he knew the files getting out with damage him, but he assumed it would damage everyone else too. /2

NuclearNoises @nuclearnoises.bsky.social · 11/09/2026
I legit wonder if Trump just assumed every billionaire and politician in the world rapes kids as much as he did, or at least wants to. Then they actually looked in the Epstein files and realized, No. Even by the standards of pedophile billionaires he’s a massive pedophile.

You certainly have constructed an image of me in your head. I promise, you made it up in this very tense moment. If that image of me in your head was true, I would be on Twitter and not Bluesky. /2

Since he goes up his way to add the phrase **if** *it endangers safety or fairness*, just about all of them actually. I will grant that the word “If” is doing a lot of work there, and that response was less than ideal. But no, no collaboration there./1

NuclearNoises @nuclearnoises.bsky.social · 11/09/2026
I legit don’t see any of what you’re talking about in that post. Are you imagining I’m saying all that with a condescending and snotty tone? I am legit confused here.

NuclearNoises @nuclearnoises.bsky.social · 11/09/2026
I don’t think we saw the same interview. I definitely don’t see the aggressive fascism and the closest I see to him saying any of the other points are all accompanied by big “if” clauses. Almost as though as he’s trying to give (admittedly less than ideal) answers without giving Ken sound bites.

NuclearNoises @nuclearnoises.bsky.social · 11/09/2026
You’re going to have to point it out to me, I legit don’t see it. Maybe this is a thing where the tone of the voice doesn’t translate on social media very well?

NuclearNoises @nuclearnoises.bsky.social · 11/09/2026
All I said was that there’s a difference between being a collaborator and just being less aggressive than ideal. You made up the rest. /2

NuclearNoises @nuclearnoises.bsky.social · 11/09/2026
What the fuck are you even talking about? What shrieking? What rabid bigotry? What harassment? What name-calling? Go ahead and look, you’ve made up a version of me in your head that doesn’t exist. /1

NuclearNoises @nuclearnoises.bsky.social · 11/09/2026
As for that particular question you’re referring to, you realize they’re only showing about half the clip and in the other half he lays down a big “if”, right?
100
NuclearNoises @nuclearnoises.bsky.social · 11/09/2026
I’m not shrieking at trans people. I’m getting along with most. I’m just pointing out that just because his answers weren’t as combatative a couple times as you would like doesn’t mean he’s now a fascist collaborator. Especially with all the “if”’s he’s putting in there.
100
NuclearNoises @nuclearnoises.bsky.social · 11/09/2026
I don’t mind you telling me to fuck off, just do it with a real reason. He’s answering questions with less aggression than you’d like and you’re calling a collaboration. I don’t think he’s giving ideal answers here either, but calling them collaboration is a mind-boggling.

NuclearNoises @nuclearnoises.bsky.social · 11/09/2026
I have no idea what you’re talking about. Closest I’ve seen is someone tried to ask him if he’d support a ban on elementary schools transitioning their students during school and he asked them to show proof that it’s actually happening in a polite way.
100
NuclearNoises @nuclearnoises.bsky.social · 11/09/2026
He gave a noncommittal brush off answer to a question that you thought should’ve been more aggressive and you’re calling a collaboration. Be serious.

NuclearNoises @nuclearnoises.bsky.social · 11/09/2026
Now you’re just trying to pick a fight where there’s none to be had. Of course, I support my trans brothers and sisters. I also think there’s a big difference between collaborating with fascists and just not going for their throats 24/7. /1

NuclearNoises @nuclearnoises.bsky.social · 11/09/2026
Oh, come on, that was collaboration? Seriously?

NuclearNoises @nuclearnoises.bsky.social · 10/09/2026
And you, I, and he knows it doesn’t. That was also probably the best answer Tallarico could give us without also handing Ken a soundbite. Yeah, the situation sucks. Just saying if you take a breath and think strategically it sucks less than it appears at a glance.

NuclearNoises @nuclearnoises.bsky.social · 10/09/2026
Disagree that he picked one of the answers that will get people killed. Notice the “If” in there. I’ll grant that it’s doing a lot of work.
010
NuclearNoises @nuclearnoises.bsky.social · 10/09/2026
I’ll grant that the “If” and his answer is doing a lot of work, but I think calling Tallarico a fascist is overdooming the situation.

NuclearNoises @nuclearnoises.bsky.social · 10/09/2026
I concede that the “If” in his answer is doing a lot of work, but I think you overstating it.

A new report shows that since Trump 2 started the rate which women die of ectopic pregnancies has roughly doubled. Breaking down by state though and we see it’s more like in blue states there’s been a modest bump while in red states it’s more than tripled. Unfortunately, Shocking Nobody.

This keeps going gas prices will get so high though release the files just to distract us from the pumps.

If it keeps going like this, they’re gonna release the Epstein files to distract us from the gas prices.

Now imagine being such an asshole that the only true villain character in the history of Sesame Street is just you in puppet form. They have a vampire that’s just presented as an eccentric that likes to count things and sleep during the day. Even the undead aren’t villains on Sesame Street. /3

Imagine being such a good person that you have 11 Grammys to your credit and 55 top 10 hits to your name, but those things are barely a footnote in your eulogy. First and foremost, is your kindness and generosity. You literally weren’t a billionaire because you gave all your money away too fast. /1

I’m pretty sure the AfD has literally said as their official policy platform more than once that they believe that, with the exception of the holocaust, everything the Nazis said and did was correct.

In fact I’m pretty sure these days she calls herself “unaligned”. After making a show of supposedly “leaving the left” she tried drifting conservatives for a couple months, realized they were even more guilty of everything she was accusing people of and made a show of leaving there too.

NuclearNoises @nuclearnoises.bsky.social · 06/09/2026
To be fair, calling Ana “far left” is more than a bit of a stretch. She actually wrote a book called “Why I Left the Left” and flirted with Maga politics a little bit. Your overall point is still valid though.
