I didn't initially get why Tracey is so into this topic, but I've talked to several normies lately who think that the Iran war is just a distraction from the Epstein files, and I think I get it. Politics has entered into a zone of almost pure hallucination. We are all QAnon now.

California parole told officers to stop tracking a felon with 91 prior felonies. Weeks later he killed Hanako Abe and Elizabeth Platt. Now there's a civil rights lawsuit naming the officials who gave that order. https://t.co/52fTZ5mJNA

@micsolana it's not just Arabs and Pakistanis. the 300 million Malay-speaking Muslims of Malaysia & Indonesia lack a domestic entertainment industry so they look toward the West and East Asia (kpop/anime) for entertainment. many of them have anime accounts so they're basically groypers lol
