Mr. Spookytime Grift
Always and forever a cheerful misanthrope. he/him
- Speaking only for myself, I *don't* particularly care about instructing people what they should or should not be eating at home.
- I, for one, think it's a great idea to design an automated system that draws extra attention to the thing you'd like people not to notice. Barbra would be proud.
- To their very *core* these folks are convinced that all they need to do to print money is figure out the magic combination of propaganda delivery mechanisms that Trump's base loves and then they can just print money. Never mind that that's not a winnable audience and trying to win them ruins you.

- I mean, yeah, but we've also got the one dedicated to, depending on who you ask, a zombie or a home invader.
- Groundhog Day Meaning xkcd.com/3202/
- And that's before we get into the one about ritualistically distributing heart effigies, the one that's either devoted to the aforementioned zombie OR a mutant rabbit that lays eggs, the one about drinking and explaining to everyone how Irish you are. Face it: ALL holidays are a bit bonkers.

- Lol. Even if true: I'll happily take that little gain.
- Take about 90% of this as the shitpost it is, but: This is all happening because we didn't destroy the Space Force. We convinced him that his random insanities would result in lasting creations.
- Reposted by Mr. Spookytime GriftYES Cardi B was gaslighting a lizardman. But that doesn’t mean you have to be mean.
- So it's going well, then?
- Reposted by Mr. Spookytime Grift497 likes is enough for the "so you hate waffles" replies to come in
- Reposted by Mr. Spookytime GriftLiberals are more numerous and more popular than leftists. Since they can't change those numbers they can try to change the character of the movement to kick the liberals out. This will, by the numbers, make it smaller, less popular, and less effective.
- I find the @whstancil.bsky.social backlash strangely fascinating. At its core it seems to be a desperate effort by folks further to the left to avoid having a liberal (with communication skills) become the face of their movement. But, to be honest, winning was always going to require that.

- Reposted by Mr. Spookytime GriftI don't want to quote dunk but I saw another "body cams don't do anything" post and I just want to say that I, a criminal defense attorney, very much like having body cams.
- My only problem with this is that there are a lot of folks who *claim* to be politically aligned with me while very obviously *not* being. One's alignment is displayed by their actions, not their words but even their words end up being pretty fucking suspect.
- Do love that she lost her job not because she had principles but because she whined about it. True profile in courage right there. You've also got to love that the administration's pettiness overrides any possibility of maintaining the state capacity they need for their agenda.

- Reposted by Mr. Spookytime GriftThe Trump "negotiations" with Iran didn't get off the ground, presumably for the same reason as previous ones: the US demand is essentially that Iran capitulates, agreeing to forfeit its national interests, and in exchange the US leader who broke the last deal without cause might honor a new one.
- Trump's rant at the fact that they wouldn't simply rubber stamp R gerrymanders while rejecting D ones is gonna be delightful.

- Reposted by Mr. Spookytime GriftA publisher who lays off a reporter whose pen is freezing because she's covering a frigid war zone while dodging missiles is not an editor you want to work for, in a more perfect world
- Reposted by Mr. Spookytime Griftthey don't have enough guys, and if the response in Minnesota shows anything it is that trying something like this is going to drive a much larger backlash than anything they hope to gain out of it "oh well I guess we'll just stay home" is not how this is going to go
- 🚨BREAKING: Steve Bannon said Tuesday that the federal government is planning to send Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers to patrol polling stations during this year’s midterm elections. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
- Reposted by Mr. Spookytime GriftIm not gonna lie. If you're still showing up to protest Harris but you won't go protest Trump, you're a coward. Word salad whatever nonsense you want, the fact is you're a coward.
- Reposted by Mr. Spookytime GriftVoters looking back at an economy that had high inflation for a bit but was otherwise strong & growing with rising wages and a lot of federal investment coming online and where they didnt have to navigate a schizophrenic tariff landscape coupled with a weakening dollar.
- Reposted by Mr. Spookytime Griftalso, not for nothing, we do representative democracy because it's a lot better for having a society if you manage your social change via counting votes instead of just seeing who's left after the crows get their share
- Thing is: presser working like a charm doesnt do jack shit when two days from now these dumb fucks commit another atrocity and get another round of backlash that's necessarily worse than the last.
- Reposted by Mr. Spookytime GriftI really do not think that the “set fires” crew will ultimately be pleased with any implementation of a universal rule that if someone at a protest is acting in a way you feel might cause danger to you, you should assault them
- Turns out that evil scumbags are pretty good at twisting whatever's convenient when it comes to advancing their monstrous agenda.

- Reposted by Mr. Spookytime Grift1/ Re: the anarchist discourse on here the problem is that anarchists do civics without believing in civic duty. Someone who believes in civic duty understands the need for press coverage and nonviolent persuasion. They understand these are tactics to persuade voters to your cause.

- Reposted by Mr. Spookytime GriftIt's good that Trump can't find qualified people to run the government.
- Reposted by Mr. Spookytime Grift1. Build huge subscriber base by telling them their $ supports democracy. 2. Don’t establish other revenue sources. 3. Rug-pull subscribers by pushing opinion side to the right. 4. Subscribers leave, revenue falls. 5. Enact crippling newsroom cuts.
- Reposted by Mr. Spookytime GriftI find this excuse completely ridiculous. Given the fact that the dangers of raw milk are so well-known (and this is precisely what they look like), the idea that they were just inexperienced babes is absurd. This is like saying you didn’t know you shouldn’t make Match-N-Oily-Rag play kits for kids.
- This is bonkers. MAHA 'farmers' with ecoli tainted raw milk admit they really don't know how to make the stuff after all. "Producing raw milk takes careful planning from a facility and infrastructure standpoint. Unfortunately, we learned this after the fact." people.com/ballerina-fa...
