I think part of the issue is that it's not hard to find people with "in this house we believe" signs who do not believe what is on their sign. Or maybe they don't understand that "no human is illegal" means no deportations, not "deportations but nicer"

Fed posting is bad. Fed posting is bad. Fed posting is bad. Fed posting is bad.

If you want to talk with someone like Rufo, you need to be able to fact-check him. If Klein was responsible, every 30 seconds or so he would edit himself in saying something like "Ok, I went to double-check and actually, that's bullshit."

I've heard it said that the Vietnam war was unpopular largely due to the invention of television. You could see the violence against the Vietnamese and the anti-war protesters. It looks like cheap, widely-available translation is similarly driving the unpopularity of Israel's wars.

"update your knife's firmware" -statements dreamed up by the utterly deranged

I genuinely want to know what people who want Israel to be a "Jewish state" mean if they're not referring to an ethnonationalist project. Without policies deliberately engineered to maintain Jewish control Israel will just naturally stop being Jewish very quickly.

The next King's Speech should just be Charles leading Parliament into a recitation of the Shahada before announcing that Windsor Palace is to be destroyed and rebuilt oriented towards Mecca. This is the only way for the UK to recover global significance.

The cooling system was installed by the village AC technician, Thermodynamix 😊

Look, say what you will about LLMs. But now you can yell at your computer and have it do something.

My contribution to AC discourse is that one of the reasons why AC was promoted in the developing world was the pseudoscientific belief that colonial administrators would become more like the colonized people if exposed to the local climate. So using AC is colonialism.

@postoctobrist.bsky.social : "wild that one of the few lasting consequences of MeToo is that if you get cancelled bad enough you get exiled to Chud America and its parallel culture"

I'm seriously underwhelmed by this new Jesus. Didn't transmute any liquid into other liquids. Didn't feed a crowd. Didn't heal the sick. But even I have to admit the earlier guy did not lose $13 billion.

Antisemitic attacks on Dan Goldman are the only reason the backstabbing cosmopolitan globalist Brad Lander won his primary.

Con law is Calvinball. I'm not sure what the right result is here, but the way courts are making decisions that boil down to asking if two different things are similar-enough is just ridiculous.

We need to invade Europe and forcibly install AC in every home.

went down to the centrist convention. they’re all shaking and crying, I heard one guy say “I’m starting to think a better world IS possible.” the lady next to him slapped him in the face

Everything else aside, it is very funny for someone to go "Ok, this message is for everyone who despises me: I really need your help so I can do what you hate."

Toxins in food are mostly an issue for men in places where divorce is illegal.

Declare that the meteor is communist. Then it will eventually splinter and break up on its own.

My girlfriend just referred to "milkshake duck" as "the duck is racist". I can't believe she's this disrespectful to my culture.

It's a weird way to put it, but Iran was never going to accept meaningful limits on its missiles program. That would be suicide.

Me the first few times I see the kitten being bitten by his older sister: Oh, poor baby. I'll help you. Me after seeing the way he behaves: Sorry little birthday boy. But apparently it's finding out time for you.

Pre-posting for the day JKR dies: "What did you think 'death of the author' meant? Video essays?"

Peanut butter. I would rather die than eat it. Almond butter? Great. Hazelnut butter? Awesome. Walnut butter? Yum. But peanut butter? It should not exist.

I've said this before but imo the whitewashing of history is a deliberate act to deligitimise direct action.

This is my new favorite thread

Hundreds of strangers in Belfast working together. Doing shopping, providing accommodation, driving kids to school, people to hospital appointments. Have just been told of a woman close to us who hasn't left her house since Monday so we'll be sorting her out today and getting her anything she needs

"Move over jade eggs. Goop has a new unsafe thing you can put up your vagina!"

Quick x-phi people! We found Mary the Color Scientist! Go show him a place and see if he learns anything.

(No offence to the cis man in this photo by the way, you look great and I have no reason to believe you're not a decent human being. Except that you're presumably British, but that's not your fault. Unless you're naturalised, in which case, fuck you.)

Men will literally risk deadly accidents instead of going to therapy.

I know I spend way too much on taxis for my burritos, but this lady must have spent a fortune on cabs for her citrus.

Kind of amused that the big YouTube controversy of the day is a company stealing someone's Star Wars Lego collection.

"We should ban doing too many things to things before we eat them" is truly an amazing policy idea.

The press release: Playing video games after traumatic events reduces PTSD symptoms. The paper: We showed people a scary movie and had them play video games and then they told us if they thought about the movie over the next week. The replication: We showed the scary movie to a lot of people!

Is... Is Stephen Miller an ally?

If you are a hot person, I think it’s your civic duty in this day and age to loudly advocate for something righteous The masses will listen

Epistemology sayings are such bullshit. "Absence of evidence isn't evidence of absence." Yes it is! "You can't prove a negative." What are you on about?!?!

Warning. This product contains small batteries which could seriously injure a child if infested. Please hold the batteries above your child as they try to jump up to grab them.

Voice notes should be prohibited by law!

I mean, yeah, people do want to curate who they interact with. I don't know why this has become a controversial thing to do.

Does your local tech company understand consent? > Yes! > Maybe later

I want general anesthesia when I have a cold.

all this odyssey-posting has got me thinking about this again

Open toad shoes

The good taxpayers of New York have given me a pair of Meta glasses because I am low vision disabled, and I seem to have used them more than a lot of people on here, so let me say a little about my experiences:

I know you believe it, but you’re wrong, and I don’t want to hear it.
