The off-camera person interviewing Rivers then asked, 'Do you think that the United States will see the first gay president or the first woman president?' Rivers answered, 'Well we already have it with Obama, so let's just calm down. You know Michelle is a t[...],' using a slur that's a reference to transgender people.

"Obama's Mother Dies, Leaves Inheritance to 'My Son Michael' Michelle Obama's Mother Dies, Leaves Inheritance to 'My Son Michael' Flagg Eagleton Michelle Obama's mother, Mary McGillicuddy Robinson, has died at the age of 84. She went peacefully in her sleep before being mostly devoured by her Lhasa Apso, and Chicago police have ruled out any foul play. The real story, however, is how she worded her Last Will and Testament. According to Illinois Comptroller and Keeper of the Public Record, Art Tubolls, 'Michelle' doesn't legally exist: 'Mrs. Robinson's will clearly states that her possessions should all go to 'my son, Michael Robinson Obama.' In Illinois, a person can't legally change their gender, so she had to use his real name or she wouldn't have gotten anything.'" ^{[site archive] [fact-checked] [fact-checked] [fact-checked]} #IRLLawyerMichelleObama ^[Wikipedia]

Context "A years-old fake story about Michelle Obama's mother and her will previously appeared on a blog with the disclaimer 'Everything on this website is fiction.' The story, shared as real in a screenshot on Instagram this week, appeared on ObamaWatcher.com in 2019. The website has a disclaimer that it is part of a network of satirical websites and consists of 'pure fantasy.' The story misidentifies Obama's mother, Marian Shields Robinson, as 'Mary McGillicuddy Robinson,' and falsely claims she died. It goes on to falsely claim that Robinson's will identifies Obama as 'Michael Robinson Obama,' suggesting she is biologically male. Neither claim is supported by evidence." https://apnews.com/article/fact-check-michelle-obama-mother-satire-623260875576 ^[forum]

All were found guilty of making or sharing malicious comments about Brigitte Macron's gender and sexuality, saying she had been born a man. For some, this included equating her age difference with her husband, the French president, Emmanuel Macron, to paedophilia. ... The Macrons have also filed a US lawsuit for defamation against the conservative podcaster Candace Owens for amplifying and repeating the claim. The US lawsuit states that the accusation Brigitte Macron is a man called Jean-Michel Trogneux is completely false and that Trogneux is in fact Brigitte Macron's older brother. Trogneux, 80, lives in the northern French town of Amiens, where he grew up with Brigitte and their siblings in a family famous for its chocolate business." https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/jan/05/paris-court-finds-10-guilty-of-harassing-brigitte-macron-online #2026_ #PhenomnHarassmentDiscriminatory #PowerControlViolationPaedophilia #OtheringDiscriminationAgeism #PowerControlMicrofascismBullyingCyberTrolling #IRLCommentatorCandaceOwens

"Fauci and his coauthor appear to be taking the position that human dominance over nature is a bad thing, one that is sure to result in future catastrophes. That could be true when it comes to subjects such as advanced military weaponry (high powered nuclear bombs), but the paper completely ignores the fact that human innovation has allowed for our lifespans to double since the mid 19th century. Additionally, it's not as if deadly pandemics are only a recent issue. The Black Death, which took an estimated 75-200 million lives, occurred 400 years before the Industrial Revolution, and none of the pandemics of the 21st century have had a significant negative impact on global health. COVID-19, which has had the most sophisticated tracking program in pandemic history, has still registered fewer than 1 million reported deaths worldwide. Human innovation has allowed for a more sanitary lifestyle, and this has undoubtedly reduced the impact that pandemics and climate events may have had on our lives. Fauci's seeming embrace of the degrowth movement makes no sense, from a human health perspective. Rolling back human progress and becoming 'one with nature' would make humans *more* susceptible to pandemics, not less."

Yarvin, who considers liberal democracy as a decadent enemy to be dismantled, is intellectually influential on vice president-elect JD Vance and close to several proposed Trump appointees. The aftermath of Trump's election victory has seen actions and rhetoric from Trump and his lieutenants that closely resemble Yarvin's public proposals for taking autocratic power in America." https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/dec/21/curtis-yarvin-trump #2024_

#MagazineUSTheAtlanticAliBreland "The current moment looks a lot like fusionism 2.0: The uniting through line of opposing communism has been replaced by an opposition to 'wokeness,' as the University of Virginia historian David Austin Walsh has observed. The similarities between the political moments provide a rough model for how the new MAGA coalition might persist. In the original fusionism, communism was almost always a bigger deal than whatever libertarians and social conservatives didn't see eye to eye on. This worked because 'communism' never just meant one thing. It could be invoked to oppose the Soviet Union and the literal ideology of communism, to thwart the supposedly communist-infilitrated civil-rights and anti-war movements, or to refer to anything related to left-wing politics. Wokeness now serves that function on the right. It's no coincidence that wokeness is a rebranded version of the right's previous bogeyman: 'cultural Marxism.' As Musk has ripped up federal agencies in a supposed effort to reduce government waste, a lot of what DOGE has actually focused on is rooting out perceived wokeness." ^{[digital archives]} #PleaMAGA #CharacterisationTechBro #PoliticsNationalismWhite #PoliticsNationalismXenophobicNativism #PoliticsGovernanceOligarchy #CharacterisationTechBroTechRight #TauntWokeness #EDUUSUniversityOfVirginiaUVADavidAustinWalsh #PoliticsConservatismFusionism #OrgUSFedGovDepartmentOfGovernmentEfficiencyDOGE #2025_
