calliope

I was somewhat interested before, but I have zero interest in supporting anything Ethan Klein has been involved in. Yuck.

It’s the fucking people from Wyoming again.

Thank god they get as many senators as the other states, right?

I laughed out loud when I finally realized what band was saying this.

Humorously, the lead singer is named Jim (Adkins), but the band’s name comes from the backing vocalist/guitarist Tom’s brother, also named Jim.

The band’s name came from a crayon drawing made after an incident between [Tom] Linton’s younger brothers, Jim and Ed Linton, who fought frequently. Jim usually won, but Ed sought revenge by drawing a picture of Jim shoving the Earth into his mouth; Ed captioned the picture “Jimmy eat world”.

This was literally the guy who started his entire political career in earnest by calling in to Fox News and talking about how Obama wasn’t “American” because he’s black. Trump found his political fame because he advocated the “birther” conspiracy.

It’s honestly crazy that anyone could be surprised. He’s been up front about his racism for fifteen years now.

I find the wording of the article to be remarkable. “At the opposite end of the supply chain.”

Eric (not his real name) was no longer just a consumer of China’s spy-cam porn industry, but a victim.

A “consumer” who has admittedly been watching this type of “spy cam” footage for twenty years (since he was a teen, according to the article) and never once thought “wait, what if that was me?”

Then when he grows a conscience in his thirties he contacts the BBC.

This is the original source the podcast cites if anyone wants the information faster.

That’s actually why I looked it up! I was like “oh is he finally going down the drain?”

Not yet. Evil lives longer than good so he seems fine, but we can take comfort in the fact that he isn’t seeking re-election in 2026.

He’s 83, way too old to be a senator. He turns 84 on February 20th and I hope he dies before then.

Unfortunately, Mitch McConnell didn’t have another stroke like he deserves to.
