Drag Queen named "Tramp l'Moan"

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

She gets in a row with another drag queen named "Trample Row'n"

From the top turnbuckle, it's

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

I've been quiet because I've been Getting Things Done and also to channel my teeth-cracking anger away from public expression. Every time I look at the world, 80% of my brain is screaming "WHY THE FRICK DID THOSE FRICKSHITS NOT LISTEN TO ANY OF THE WARNINGS"

Just so angry

Doll (@dollspace.gay):

Because they didnt want to. Unfortunately.

Faine Greenwood (@faineg.bsky.social):

I assume the logic is that the segregated and almost all male U.S. Army won WWII, and surely war and societies haven't changed meaningfully in the 80+ years since.

Johne, John or hey you fat dude (@jels31.bsky.social):

Ok so let me get this straight. The US will invade Canada, Panama, and Greenland with only CIS white males who agree with the Troll in Chief? That should go real well.

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

That's the logic. 100%.

Never mind that all modern militaries are spears, with 5% spearhead (combat trained fighting forces) & 95% spear shaft (logistics, admin, support)

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

historically, meteor strikes are interpreted by the superstitious as a sign that they Done Fricked Up. God Is Displeased.

And is something secular, effective governments can respond to.

IJS - Covid-19 & Giant Meteor 2025 …

A mythic narrative could be built on that.

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

Whether that narrative is "God is displeased with Teh Gays" or "We have to shed the control of our planet by people who keep cooking it & throw stones at the moon" —

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

the /r/atheism wing of Trumpism believes they'll rebuild a Gorean paradise from the ashes. The /r/conservative wing believes they'll rebuild Gilead.

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

Who will be the third body to complete the Three Body Problem of the 21st political century

BeijingPalmer (@beijingpalmer.bsky.social):

the thing about Trump's Kennedy Center fixation, beyond just pettiness, is that he actually really, really loves musical theatre. it's his one genuine passion in life, as far as I can tell, but he also doesn't have great taste, so get ready for a really big production of CATS.

Mark Russell (@markrussell.bsky.social):

Would be funny if he demanded a SOUND OF MUSIC revival.

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

The Producers

Alessandro Rigolon (@alerigolon.bsky.social):

I was just told that I have to remove "climate" from the title of an ongoing grant if I want to keep it. And publications from that grant cannot include "climate" and other forbidden words. I can't believe I'm writing this from the United States of America. #AcademicSky

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

Sam Altman was CEO of Reddit for like, two weeks, in 2014. He was on the board until 2022, which is (perhaps only coincidentally) when Reddit finally adopted a functional Moderator Code of Conduct & kicked networked harassment groups off the site.

UPDATE: OpenAI CEO Sam Altman rejects Elon Musk-led bid

A secret passage from the west ends here, at the top of these dark, cobwebby stairs.

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

In 2015, before Donald Trump was elected the first time, /r/the_donald turned to the Red Pill ecosystem on Reddit to recruit subreddit operators and participants.

The sub redesign from a pedestrian campaign board to a "24/7 Trump rally" was the work of an /r/MGTOW regular.

The Nexus Project (@nexusproject.bsky.social):

THREAD 🧵

The Manosphere—MRAs, PUAs, incels, "alpha male" influencers—has become one of the major radicalizing forces in America.

What starts as "self-improvement" quickly turns into misogyny, conspiracy theories, and antisemitism.

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

One of the most prominently repeated post topics in /r/the_donald — as shared with openly neoNazi subreddits — was "anti-white racism".

The Nexus Project (@nexusproject.bsky.social):

UFC fighter Bryce Mitchell recently praised Hitler, saying, "I honestly think that Hitler was a good guy based upon my own research."

This is not random. It reflects the radicalization pipeline capturing young men through male-dominated online spaces.

Well, you've been hearing me bang on about it forever, but my dissertation is finally online. I will bookify it later, but for now you get it in the original Academese.

The phone number is Dan Patrick's (TX LTG) phone #. It's a "prank"

Oh, good 💕

I lift a lantern and peer into the sky.

"Oh, did a sportsball happen?" I whisper smugly from my vantage point on a distant cliff, the sounds of celebration in the village far below just barely audible over the lonely wind whipping my tattered cloak
