Sheesh. I remember that scene in _The Falcon and the Snowman_ where the KGB handler told Timothy Bottoms to buy his own camera, and now the Russians are spending $10M on internet hijinks. And some Russians want the Soviet Union back. smh. ---

This article from the _Guardian_ that just reconfirms the fact that JD Vance is a racist and misogynist is also, IMHO, subjectively interesting because it’s the first time I’ve seen a photo of Peter Thiel, the financier and backer of much of this recent neo-Nazism. He looks remarkably like a composite of several of Hitler’s closest henchmen, exuding pure evil. > **[‘Dangerous and un-American’: new recording of JD Vance’s dark vision of women...](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/aug/31/jd-vance-podcast-feminism-immigration)** > > Trump’s running mate rants against feminism, immigrants and Ilhan Omar in a newly unearthed podcast from 2021 ---

> [@Elmer\_J.Fudd](#): > > He looks like Roy Cohn. But you got the pure evil part right. I never thought about it, but Thiel does resemble Cohn at least a little bit. Not quite as big a nose, but there is more than a passing resemblance. While we’re on this subject, Blake Masters, the other Thiel acolyte who has been running for office, kind of looks like what I imagine the T-600 series terminators looked like (the ones that had rubber skin and were easy to spot, according to Kyle Reese). ---

Hell, I’m disappointed in his legal team, too. I’m disappointed they argue his nonsense in court. I’m disappointed not all of them are in jail yet. ---

> [@eschereal](#): > > 90 hours a week? WTELF is wrong with this guy? Well, yes. In order to get ahead at McKinsey, a man has to work 90 hour weeks. Obviously, a woman’s place is in the home, barefoot and pregnant and tied to the stove, so she might as well not even try at McKinsey. ---
