We Hunted the Mammoth won’t lie to you about its religious beliefs, or lack thereof. Please drop a few bucks here or here if you can!

And if you’re feeling stuck as a writer, I can help!

For several years now, Canadian fussbudget intellectual Jordan Peterson has been presenting himself as “a new kind of Christian,” as he once put it in an interview, talking endlessly about what he sees as the moral lessons of the Bible and writing a 576-page book taking readers through famous stories in the Old Testament.

Elon Musk: Clownish tinpot dictator, right-wing hero

Twitter suspended some journalists. You may have heard. On the off chance you haven’t already read one of the dozens of pieces on the subject, let me fill in a few of the main components of the whole sordid story before moving on to the right-wingers and their collective orgasm over the media bans.

I won’t lie: I was anxious as hell about the midterms yesterday. But that widely predicted “Red Wave” turned out to be a dribble. Here are some extremely unhappy Republicans reflecting on the results, courtesy of Twitter, which is still good for things like this.

Well, it looks like our dear old ~~friend~~ fiend Vox Day won’t be able to make his racist superhero flick after all. Because he’s apparently lost all the money he raised for it — a cool million bucks — to a cryptocurrency con artist who was supposed to be safeguarding the funds, the Daily Beast reports.

Will this be the Daily Stormer’s downfall?

By David Futrelle

You hate to see it. Nazi trash site The Daily Stormer is apparently running out of money. In a morose but petulant post today, head Stormer Andrew Anglin threatened to lay off his staff and cut back on his coverage of such vital issues as Jews, race war, women not deserving rights, and Jews unless his readers coughed up more ~~bucks~~ bitcoins than they’ve donated so far.

So the loathsome Milo Yiannopoulos — the self-promoting alt-right enabler and serial harasser who’s been kicked off so many platforms I’ve lost track — has apparently gone bust, in a big way, landing himself more than $2 million in debt, according to documents examined by the Guardian Australia.

Facing an energized antifascist movement and internal enmities, the Alt-Right is imploding, with its leaders giving up or fighting one another, while followers grow ever more disillusioned by the day.
