"A guy on Twitter told us that North Korea's leader Kim Jong-un has banned everyone in the country from expressing tears or vomiting. So, we're just going to print it right here in the f***ing paper of record lmao. No one ever lost their job at a newspaper for not bothering to confirm whatever weird shit they heard about North Korea so why not lol."

This is one of those articles that pisses me off because it amplifies and legitimizes what is, in reality, one fucking stupid shithead being a piece of trash on Twitter.

The New Hampshire "wing" of the Libertarian party is basically one guy, Jeremy Kauffman, who is a racist anti-government cryptobro maybe 3 people agree with about anything. He keeps running for office and failing, and every time that happens he goes on the "official" Twitter account of the NHLP (which he runs, because, again, by this point, the NHLP is almost literally just him) and yells about how he only lost because the media is out to destroy him, and the national libertarian party are in fact secret gay communists who can't handle how PURE and REAL he is. I'm not exaggerating. He's been doing this since at least 2020.

Most libertarians are anti-regulation and may get into some lite Sovereign Citizen crap. Kauffman is basically an anarchist who wants people like him to all move to New Hampshire so they can help him seize the state and declare it "free."

Free to do what? Well, let him run crypto scams, which is another thing he does that he keeps getting in trouble for.

His Twitter activity is a mix of him lashing out at his many perceived enemies, and teenaged edgelord shit from like 2001, because he knows Corporate Media will continue to report on it because it's from an "official" state branch of a political party. He has previously said child labor laws should be abolished because making kids do manual labor is "good" for them, and that any reporters he doesn't like should be imprisioned or exiled from the country. He got into a huge fight with the other New Hampshire libertarians over this, because they are sick of him embarrassing them. But for whatever reason they can't dislodge him from claiming to hold the party banner.

He's also been either pro-Trump or calling MAGA people socialists, depending on what fight he's in the middle of with whoever this week.

NONE of this is in this shit ABC News article. I had to research this. And I'm not getting paid to inform people.

New Hampshire libertarians aren't calling for violence against Harris. One known-asshole is being a troll on Twitter. That's all this is.

...I mean libertarians suck, and most of them are only that because they're rich white guys who want to be able to break any laws they don't like and bully people without consequences. But they're not all Jeremy Kauffman, and he shouldn't be allowed to represent them. They hate him, too.

People against piracy fail to realize that no, I can’t just ‘buy it.’ They stopped making DVDs and Blu-Rays. They’re barely offering digital copies for download. I am not spending money I could use for food or bills to pay for a subscription service just so I can always have access to a beloved piece of media. Especially not when the service will remove media on a whim without concern for how the loss of access to that piece will make its artistic conservation nigh impossible.

For example, I recently learned that Disney+ had an original film called Crater. It’s scifi, family friendly, and seems cool - I would love to buy it as a holiday gift for my little brother! But: it’s exclusive to D+ and THEY REMOVED IT LITERALLY MONTHS AFTER ITS RELEASE.

The ONLY way I can directly access this film is through piracy. The ONLY available ‘copies’ of this film are hosted on piracy websites. Disney will NEVER release it in theaters, or as something to buy, and it may NEVER return to the streaming service. It will be LOST because we aren’t allowed to purchase it for personal viewing. If I can’t pay to own it, I won’t pay for the privilege of losing it when corporate decides to put it in a vault.

So yes, I’m going to pirate and support piracy.

Edit: if you are able, use $5 you would otherwise use for a streaming subscription to donate to a GazaFunds campaign.

The press corps bravely describes their president to us — now that they can

HERE IS PUSILLANIMOUS NEW YORK MAGAZINE, THAT PILE OF CRAVEN ROT, ON THE 4TH OF JULY 2024: When they discussed what they knew, what they had seen, what they had heard, they literally whispered. They were scared and horrified. But they were also burdened. They needed to talk about it (though not on the record). They needed to know that they were not alone and not crazy. Things were bad, and they knew things were bad, and they knew others must also know things were bad, and yet they would need to pretend, outwardly,that things were fine. The president was fine. The election would be fine. They would be fine. To admit otherwise would mean jeopardizing the future of the country and, well, nobody wanted to be responsible personally or socially for that.Their disclosures often followed innocent questions: Have you seen the president lately? How does he seem? Often, they would answer with only silence, their eyes widening cartoonishly, their heads shaking back and forth. Or with disapproving sounds.“Phhhhwwwaahhh.” “Uggghhhhhhhhh.” “Bbbwwhhheeuuw.” Or with a simple, “Not good! Not good!” Or with an accusatory question of their own: “Have you seen him?!”

Those who encountered the president in social settings sometimes left their interactions disturbed. Longtime friends of the Biden family, who spoke to me on the condition of anonymity, were shocked to find that the president did not remember their names. At a White House event last year, a guest recalled, with horror, realizing that the president would not be able to stay for the reception because, it was clear, he would not be able to make it through the reception. The guest wasn’t sure they could vote for Biden, since the guest was now open to an idea that they had previously dismissed as right-wing propaganda: The president may not really be the acting president after all.

"They are trying to mainstream the phrase "Hezbollah Village" in order to justify their ethnic cleansing campaign. Don't let them do it." --Alan MacLeod

Remember that the Western corporate media will try to frame the Middle East as too sectarian, too misogynistic, and too violent to have democracy.

"SAMUEL ALITO IS A REGRESSIVE, FAR-RIGHT PARTISAN GOON!"

Thanks, corporate media. That's only been painfully obvious since before his troll-ass was appointed to the court.

But thanks for panicking about it now that there is zero chance anyone can do anything about it.

I bet next they'll point out how Clarence Thomas might just be a spiteful, misogynistic jackass who rules inconsistently, based entirely on who he's mad at at the moment!

...What it must be like, being one of these Normies with a fish brain. Like every 2 years, they seem to absolutely forget everything that happened before that month, and have to pay ABC News journalists to remind them of it.

And how dire an option that is.

You Know Why!!!

Corporations and companies pollute the oceans with animal waste, chemicals and oil spills.. but yet news reports and their "sources" act like they don't know what's wrong... 🤔🙄😑 please go sit down🥴

It was absolutely pathetic to hear the news "reporter" say everything but, that pollution could definitely be a contributor to pissed off sea animals.

Reading 'Making Money' at the moment and I love how in this one Adora Belle is so CLEARLY the A-plot character. She's off commanding armies of golems and uncovering secrets from lost civilizations and marches back to town like "Hey Moist, come help me find a wizard to translate this ancient scroll" and he's just standing there giving Spencer from iCarly like "Ummmmm. Does it have to be like, right now...? Only, you see, my dog's just been made chairman of the bank—"
