  • Back in 2019-2020 Biden was telling the story about a guy in Delaware called Cornpop. Supposedly some type of gang-leader / violent criminal, who was not happy with Biden being a lifeguard at the segregated swimming pool. Cornpop would dip his razor blades in rain-barrels to make them more dangerous, because a cut from a rusty blade is likely to get infected. Biden told the story a few times and each time it was completely incomprehensible.





  • Fun fact, I work with a guy who used to be a tax-advisor in Arthur Andersen. He left the firm in the late 90s, which means he managed to get out right before the whole shitshow came crashing down circa 2002. The guy I work with never worked for the American branch (main branch of the company). He worked for the danish subsidiary, which was apparently mostly advising the early IT-startups in Denmark back then.


  • The right in Denmark is very fractured, but there is a re-alignment happening as we speak, and the rural chuds are abandoning the traditional liberal / rural parties in exchange for the flat out fascist Denmark’s Democrats (the main talking point on the far right in mainstream politics has been the topic of remigration, which is a nice way of saying state-enforced ethnic cleansing). The libertarian right is also picking up people through culture war shit (particularly young men who are “against the wokeness”) but they are almost entirely based on the fact that they outspend every single other party in the last election and also the fact that their leader is a pretty average looking handsome dude who is able to articulate his positions without shitting himself, something the rest of the party lacks). The Conservative Party is shedding members to the fascist parties (plural), but don’t seem themselves to be running on fascism or austerity (at least in my area), and in fact they ran on improving funding to the local schools and child-care facilities.

    The Social Democrats have moved quite a bit to the right in recent years, and they seem to have shed a lot of people because of unhappiness with the ruling coalition. Unfortunately the people who move on from the SocDems seem to be moving equally to the far left and the far right (while still solidly within the sphere of parliamentary politics). There are some local parties claiming to be revolutionary communist, but those are mostly trots with 5 members, so nobody takes them seriously.











  • There was a guy during the early obama years who claimed to have been blown by obama (or blown him, not sure) and he got kind of famous in late night fox news shows. The guy is very clearly extremely mentally ill or was just looking to grift off old people and their racial panic, but the story never really moved on from that. I think the story blew up shortly before all the weirdos started talking about Michelle Obama being trans (which a friend of mine has just discovered and now insists on sending me videos of constantly).
