I mean, have you seen the graphics from the original Tomb Raider game? And look where that led. ---

Merry prankster uploads a photoshopped pic of themselves holding a fatally radioactive cobalt rod, complete with radiation interference in the photo, and asking what it is. Google AI says it’s a cinnamon stick.

There’s live action SpongeBob porn out there. Someone in yellowface actually wearing a SpongeBob costume while throwing’ it in a woman dressed up like his squirrel pal. The internet is both great and frightening. ---

Your post intrigues me and I would like to subscribe to your newsletter. It’s been quite a long time since I went looking for really weird porn. Perhaps I should take up the hobby again. (For a while, I collected pics/video in the “dinosaur porn” category… dont ask/don’t search… mostly to horrify my friends, but also to plumb the depths of human depravity. It got weird really, really fast. The classic example is a 80s era clip of a gentleman badly dressed as a pterodactyl being fellated by three skimpily dressed ladies. It is exactly as erotic as you can imagine…) ---

So, just, plain, DEI is the reason for this? This is ratcheting it up for me. We’ll start seeing more and more just outright racist oppression in lock step with attempts to dismantle historical record-keeping, already under way. I’m sure in a couple days’ time there’ll be yet another sort of tipping point moment for this increasingly wary observer. ---

That would require an act of Congress, so it won’t happen unless they attach it to a CR and Chuck Schumer immediately folds. ---

> [@Czarcasm](#): > > it would just take a declaration, followed Congressional inaction. A declaration of what? You can’t defund a day on the calendar. Trump could perhaps declare that it’s no longer a day off work for federal employees, but that doesn’t abolish the act that creates the holiday.
