@RepDeluzio You fucking cretin.

[Bertus a. de Jong @BertusadeJong]

@RepDeluzio Mate. I have nothing against the mentally handicapped and I think it's great they dressed you up in a suit and let you play at being a politician for a bit, but there is actual serious shit happening right now so we're gonna need you to go back to playing with your train set now.

So like, I assume that everyone who has Jeff Goldberg on Signal is adding him to every single one of their chat groups for jokes right now yeah?

@thetrueaesthete @HabitualBlood He's also responsible for basically all of Graham Hancock's nonsense. Magicians of the Gods and Netflix's Ancient Apocalypse is all 90% Donnelly.

@thetrueaesthete @HabitualBlood Taking Ignatius Donnelly seriously - very fash these days.

@AnnaBower This put me in mind of Arkell vs Pressdram so I googled that to see how it actually turned out, and now I'm actually super invested but you never find out if Becky and Amy get back together.

[Bertus a. de Jong @BertusadeJong]

Duplicate. Discriminate. Decouple.

[Bertus a. de Jong @BertusadeJong]

Actually wait no don't talk to me Nick Land fans. In fact best you don't talk to anyone tbh.

[Bertus a. de Jong @BertusadeJong]

Ever get that thing where you see a take so bad that your brain just inserts a blue tick that's not even there?

Many years ago I found some old negatives at Waterlooplein flea market, hundreds of photos.
Unique photos of the war & liberation.
I'll share a few of these, never before published (except online by me) pictures here.

Hitler & Mussert dolls hanging.
Akoleienstraat.

Really wasn't prepared for the decline of Anglophone civilization to involve this degree of vicarious embarrassment. https://t.co/Thw24vWtED

[Bertus a. de Jong @BertusadeJong]

ok well good luck with that

[Bertus a. de Jong @BertusadeJong]

@InnoBystander @BigNonVeganDave Yeah EC margin of 65-104 either way is great value right now IMO. Even if you don't buy the herding narrative (and I do) it's still just one or other candidate sweeping the swing states, which is more likely than not even if the polls are basically fine.

@gluonspring @dieworkwear I just assumed he meant stage right.

[Bertus a. de Jong @BertusadeJong]

Suck it, Harlan.

When I get my time machine first thing I do is just post a bunch of 2020s AirBnB listings on 90's Usenet.

@andrewnixon79 @DavidPiesing63 David are you pregnant?

[Bertus a. de Jong @BertusadeJong]

@DavidPiesing63 @andrewnixon79 Your plan, as I understand it, is to force all trans men to carry a card identifying them as such under penalty of law and then literally search all Xray patients for said card rather than just asking everyone a simple fucking question?
Like, mate. Get a grip.

[Bertus a. de Jong @BertusadeJong]

@DavidPiesing63 @andrewnixon79 How would you even know they are carrying a card without asking them?

[Bertus a. de Jong @BertusadeJong]

Absolute tragedy everyone's got their "He's totally Thomas Matthew Crooksed it" tweets ready and we're not even gonna get penalties.
