Cenk Uygur and Hasan Piker have been very busy scrubbing old clips from the internet — and SugarTits and I have been very busy finding them. This is a preservation service. We are custodians of internet history.
The Young Turks have been on YouTube since 2012 and Cenk has a habit of going to some very interesting places on camera. Multiple times. On different occasions. In different outfits. The topic? Let’s call it animal appreciation. Bernie Sanders endorsed Cenk’s Congressional run in 2020 and then found some old clips and very quickly unendorsed him. These are those clips.
Then there’s Hasan — who this week is simultaneously being investigated by the US Treasury, banned from the UK, attempting to have a Singaporean YouTuber arrested, and apparently having some very interesting things to say about his preferences in a partner. The point of comparison he used is what got us.
We’ve done our best to clean up the audio on these because the original quality is what you’d expect from 2013 YouTube. We present: Turkish date night.
LET’S GO!! Here’s more from Bearing.
Hasan Piker is in BIG TROUBLE – and he’s freaking out. The US Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control has subpoenaed Hasan over his March trip to communist Cuba. Quote: “it’s not great that they’re after your boy, they’re up my a**.”
The sanctions he may have violated are serious — staying at a hotel on the US government’s Cuba Restricted List carries up to $91,000 per violation in civil penalties. Willful violations carry criminal fines up to $250,000 and up to 10 years in prison. He told his audience the government shouldn’t imprison him because “is this helpful for you if I go to prison? No, it’s not.” Compelling legal argument.
He also blamed Israel – yes, really. He said “a lot of this does still have a lot to do with Israel” and then did not explain how. Uncle Cenk from the Young Turks jumped in to confirm the noose is being tightened on speech – and also something about Israel. Then a Fox News reporter crashed the stream to tell him his dog needs a new home.
Meanwhile Legal Mindset points out that every clip of Hasan broadcasting from Cuba, staying at a five star hotel that was the only lit building in Havana, using Starlink he said he wouldn’t use, and making a Cuban kid dance for hotel cookies is him being his own star witness.
The man who is known for reveling in the downfall of his political opponents is now facing his own downfall – and it is funny. You get what you deserve, Hasan. Here’s more from Bearing.
As always, libtards are upset over President Donald Trump. He got their goat this time by reposting a meme from Politi.Rican. The meme featured Trump hurling Stephen Colbert into a dumpster.
Poor babies! Why is Trump always crushing their feelings? Here’s more from The Salty Cracker.
The malignant tech censorship policies of the Joe Biden administration closely mirrored the recommendations and guidelines spelled out by Tech Policy Press. This is a Texas non-profit, with both a newsletter and a podcast, under the direction of CEO and Editor Justin Hendrix.
Hendrix had previously been director of the NYC Media Lab and an adjunct professor in the New York University Tandon School of Engineering. Bryan Jones, the champion swimmer and diving competitor who exceled at the 1998 World Championships in Perth, Australia, serves as chairman of the Tech Policy Press board of directors.
We normally don’t pay too much attention to obscure, academic mouthpieces like Tech Policy Press. But because the censorship during the Biden years was so pervasive, and crippling, and — because we had our own voices silenced by Twitter for more than three years — we’re going to make an exception in this case. Mike Benz plans an 11-hour rollercoaster to unwind the censorship. He will point out its architects, giving us a step-by-step look at how the leftist creeps and degenerates from Biden’s term attempted to enforce mass censorship.
Here is the first hour of Benz’s coverage, called “The Business Side of the Censorship Industry.” He plans continuing additions once or twice a week until he’s wrapped. We’re going to try to run the full series, but we warn you in advance: We might have to hold some chapters for a day or two, if the press of news intervenes. So follow Benz on YouTube if you want to be assured more immediate access. He is the executive director of the Foundation for Freedom Online.
The Government UFO files are finally coming out.
But The Babylon Bee has been showing these aliens for years.
Enjoy this compilation of The Babylon Bee’s alien coverage.
Helen Andrews and Triggernometry tackle the psychology behind modern woke culture. She wrote an article called The Great Feminization arguing that wokeness is essentially just the feminization of institutions — insane leftist hug box Bluesky respond exactly as you’d expect.
The argument is straightforward — law schools, medical schools, the New York Times, white collar management, all tipped majority female around the same time wokeness exploded. Andrews says that’s not a coincidence, because masculine and feminine institutions handle conflict completely differently. Men ask what are the facts and what are the rules. Women ask how does everyone feel and how do we reach consensus. HR is the enforcement arm of the gossip mill.
There’s also a Scandinavian psychology study where researchers watched kids fight on a playground, counted way more fights among boys, then asked the kids directly — and the girls reported just as many fights. They just couldn’t see them because female conflict is all reputational destruction happening behind the scenes. SugarTits then immediately confirmed this with a story from her own childhood that I will not be spoiling here.
The Blue Sky responses meanwhile are a masterclass in exactly what Andrews is describing — zero engagement with the argument, pure character assassination, and one person who spent an entire tweet attacking her jaw and forehead. Incredible stuff. Here’s more from Bearing.
