APOCALYPSE EVERYTHING-GOING-SIDEWAYS WATCH: BREAKING!

Apologies in advance for all the images, but the Republicans are having an absolutely kickass weekend, and there's just so much to share.

First up, Larry Elder's website accidentally let a page go live early claiming the election that hasn't happened yet was stolen: "Statistical analyses used to detect fraud in elections held in 3rd-world countries (such as Russia, Venezuela and Iran) have detected fraud in California resulting in governor Gavin Newsom being reinstated as governor."

Apocalyptic bonus: entire opening paragraph is dedicated to hinting it's almost shoot-Democrats time:

The "We The People Reunion" rally was a QAnon-ey conspiracy conference in Kentucky with an all-star lineup of your favourite grifters. General Flynn, My Pillow guy, Candace Owens, Lin Wood, etc. etc.

There were 30 speakers listed on the poster, and organizers expected a crowd of 10 000. Less than 300 people showed up. Candace & Lin both announced they had "deaths of close friends" and couldn't make it.

Image

A lot of these people had been hopeful that Sept. 11th was finally the day that Trump was going to pick up a gold-plated M2 Browning, start the Ten Days of Darkness™ and overthrow the Deep State. They had to do some mental acrobatics when it was announced that he was just going to collect a cheque for his legal defence fund as an alternate commentator for a match featuring a 58-year old boxer instead:

To the best of my knowledge, no brilliant normie-waking 8-D chess moves occurred. The former president, now well into the "Nick Cage starring in the Left Behind remake to keep the IRS at bay" stage of his career, did take another sizeable cheque to make a speech praising the Moonies though:

BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!

Actual anons, not the Q pretendo-kind, hacked the Texas Republican party's website with Pokemon pictures, Rick Astley and links to Planned Parenthood and a site proving Ted Cruz is the Zodiac Killer:

Two working class dudes, one black one white, just baked a tray of ten cookies together.

An oligarch walks in and grabs nine cookies for himself.

Then he says to the white dude "Watch out for that black dude, he wants a piece of your cookie!"

That's a fine mudkip illustration there.

Maybe a little too tweeter-heavy this batch. Much like how reddit is designed for dummies on phones only interested in memes and cartoon boobies not debate or discussion (it's amazing how much that place is improved if you block their arrow system. The number hi-jacking your brain is Dark Mirror shit, yo.), a garbage dump can only provide so much variety. It's kind of amazing that Youtube comments, once the poster child of a wall filled with throw away graffiti, is now heads and shoulders above these normie cesspits for children.

moar old school forum nazis, but in moderation. Mass market pop culture has all the edges filed off, when the edginess was part of the appeal in the first place.

Unfortunately, the 58 year old Holyfield immediately got knocked down twice without landing a punch and the ref had to call the fight in the first round.

The awoken ones at Great Awakening.win were struggling to figure out why Trump & the loyal patriot faction of the US military planned it that way:

Area-51 is a poster child for how growing up and knowing stuff ruins everything.

The fantasy: It could be anything, even Aliens. Let's naruto run in there and find out!

The reality: More corporate grift. The F-22 and F-35 were massive, gigantic turd sandwiches. Just like the space shuttle, the world would have been better off if they'd never been developed.

Yep. And, we continue to spend money to "play spaceman". There's no practical purpose. We should be building something to clean out the space trash that's up there, to keep our machines and robots safe in orbit. But, that wouldn't let Bezos and Musk play space hero guy. It's "boring".

A huge chunk of the right wing extremist internet - and the sources of 90% of my crazy person memes - just got hacked. A torrent of a decade's worth of detailed customer & domain data, passwords, emails, and private keys is already making the rounds. Epik is the hosting service for a bunch of sites that got kicked off the normie internet because "big tech" got all weird about it when the FBI asked them why they were carrying seditionist & mass murderer meetup forums:
  • The Daily Stormer (literal neo-nazi & klan news site/hangout)
  • 8Kun (extremist 4chan, original home of QAnon)
  • GreatAwakening (QAnon reddit clone)
  • GAB ('free speech' twitter clone)
  • Parler (the other 'free speech' twitter clone where a lot of Jan. 6 came together)
  • BitChute (extremist YouTube)
  • The_Donald
...aaaand through a super-weird kooky coincidence, the Texas GOP's abortion snitch site, their main website, & Right to Life:
Spoiler
Image
Yep. That weekend anonymous hack ended up getting everything.

The hackers' elite, high tech secret? Apparently Epik's owner, Rob W. Monster (yes, that is his real name) used his middle name, Willem, as his password.

My favourite factoid about him is that he was once the global product manager for Pampers.

Also that his wife is a naturopath who got stuck being named Jill Monster.

Well the CA recall was a dud.

That's a relief, I was briefly living in CA at the time Schwarzenegger became governor.

Sinclair's electro-enhanced tricycle reminds me of an alternate timeline where micro cars were a thing and we had more time left from doomsday. 200+ mpg vehicles for a solo commute. But who wants to get crushed to death by giant ass trucks and who wants to sell a sub-$10k vehicle when you can sell an $80,000 mini-house on wheels.

The cure for aging thing has gotten much more buzz now that billionaires like Bezos have tossed their hat into the ring. I'm personally rooting for the kooky old guy with the magic serum derived from young blood plasma to snipe them, hoping they're not frauds that bullshitted Horvath somehow. Has to be better than the zillionaire monsters. Katcher's so kooky! He called the thing "elixir" until receiving feedback that's a kooky snake-oil name! He openly shares his crazy dream about hordes of people celebrating him bringing immortality to the world, that he had while in the hospital high on pain killers!

I'd completely forgotten about this one. It feels like in the 90's early 0's, this would have had more staying power in the memory hole. But so much more is going on it's like, heh, whatever.

You do have to wonder about the two actual women who used that site, though. Did they charge for their services? I feel like they were ripping themselves off if they didn't.

The Cyber Ninjas somehow came up with the result that Biden won Maricopa by an even wider margin.

This will go down as one of the better days in schadenfreude history. The responses have been...something so far.

They certainly have. And the obedient silence and/or there are still unresolved questions bootlicking from those who know better but don't particularly care if the Capitol gets sacked again will be something too.

It kills me how the GOP went on a spending bonanza and now refuses to pay the check. Trump simultaneously cut tax income while he was busy irresponsibly buying toys (and handing out pork barrel money to special interests and millionaire friends) at the Big Government Shopping Mall with America's credit card. Not just America's credit card, it's the American tax payers' credit card! The cost of the previously decided GOP wasteful pork spending can't be funded without raising the debt limit. :-) :-) :-)

Fortunately they were quickly able to forget that they'd just decided Trump was a satanic globalist fraud. Facebook went down, so they all went mental on social media and announced this was it, Trump had turned off the internet and the 10 Days of Darkness™ had begun:

Hard confirmation of military action came pouring in from someone who had to wait a little longer than usual at a Hardee's drive thru:
