The conspiracy theorists are all wrong. If this is what my emails sounded like and they were about to be leaked, I would also kill myself. (Except for "memebrane". That one slaps.)

I don't super care about this person, but people constantly argue for policies that would undeniably cause physical harm to people without bans. (Military action or criminal enforcement are the most obvious.) It's an interesting microcosm about how "legitimate" violence is not seen as violence.

So, are we supposed to pretend to be sad again or no?

If losing things was an Olympic sport, I would have misplaced so many gold medals by now.

Your honor, what even is a crime?

My favorite fantasy is going back in time and jump starting technology. Mostly because it would be funny to explain to some guy in 500 BCE that it's called Algebra after a future mathematician. And he thinks I'm crazy, but I'm the only one who knows how to make guns, so he can't just kick me out.

Along similar lines, it's good to see how many people are rightfully outraged by Trump claiming he can order the assassination of anyone he designates a terrorist. But how many of them know this was the official policy of the Obama administration as written in a memo by Eric Holder?

At the end of the day, the talking head class finds this unacceptable because this is an example of political violence targeting one of them. Political violence that targets protesters, professors, activists, etc may be an interesting story. But it's only an emergency when it affects them.

I'm seeing a resurgence of Reddit atheism debates and so I want to say the phrase "burden of proof" should be prohibited outside legal contexts. Evidence is something you provide because you want to persuade. You can't replace it by claiming someone else has the burden of proof.

We're not going to persuade conservatives. That's simply not going to happen. That's why the pro-Palestine movement has been focusing on more realistic goals, like persuading liberals and private companies.

the american jewish establishment has made it transparently clear that you can hate jews and wish for jesus to come back and convert and kill us all, so long as you’re pro-israel. conversely, it doesn’t matter if you’re an observant jew—if you’re anti-israel you’re as good as david duke to them.

Whom among us has never wanted to ask their friends "do you like me?" Social anxiety is no joke.

"I asked ChatGPT" "I asked Grok" Well, I asked the High Priest to consult the Urim and Thummim on his breastplate to divine the will of the Holy One but they stopped giving answers after King David’s reign so I had to go use actual research skills instead to get the answers I needed.

Did another check in and not only still permanently furious but now also posting a bit about the dangers of "low IQ immigration". Oh dear!

I feel like this is a good moment to remind everybody that Gavin Newsome got into politics because a building inspector wanted him to install a mop sink in his wine bar. I don't think that guy knew he was setting California on a path to secession.

Let's not forget it was the mainstream press that gave Wakefield the audience he needed to spread his autism vaccine fraud. It's not that surprising to see them doing it again.

It's so weird of the left to think Labor might be influenced by rich people. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Option 1: The larger button is larger because it should be preferred on account of using less water. Option 2: The larger button is larger because it represents more water being used. I can never decide and I hate it.

I’m seeing a lot of outrage about this story but honestly it’s preferable to the old way of doing this which was both disrespectful of the deceased and traumatising for the puppeteer

Why is the stroke catching strays in the replies? It didn't do anything wrong.

Everyone in the past was neurotypical, which is how we got things like this single-author, eight-volume encyclopedia of ferns

For the rest of his career, every time a subordinate doesn't know how to answer his questions, he will wonder if they're mocking him.

I have failed my family.

Mark needs all of us to get used to the idea of having robot friends because then maybe we'll be his friend.

AIs cannot do the job of VCs because being a VC is primarily being a rich guy. And being a rich guy is not something AIs can do.

Bloody hell, Thomas Aquinas was massive. I think he's the only kaiju to have been a Doctor of the Church.

Yes writing emails is a pain so instead of hiding behind an AI to do it for you like a coward you need to simply have the courage of your convictions and stand up for what matters and simply not reply to them like the rest of us

this is what slave labor camps look like

He knows I could defeat him easily. That's why that coward has never called me.

By popular demand I have continued the story of M'arīíšū: Hero of the sanguinary Utnapishtim, this time giving him a Drabble containing the sort of steamy erotica which I am sure circulates among the Sherden Pact. Don't let the officers catch you with this! sherdenpact.neocities.org/FirstDrabble

I was radicalized against my own politics by noticing how annoying I am. It is unstable, but on the other hand, emitting a pure 659Hz tune at all times has its uses.

If your parents are democratic politicians, I suggest you steal their credit card and run up the bill if they ever catch you doing anything wrong. They'll assume it's a trap and let you off the hook.

It is genuinely funny that democrats as the opposition party, see the majority shit the bed in 2 ways and go "It's a trap!" No, if your opponent sucks in two ways, you hit them on *both*!

This is wrong in two ways: 1. If you sue a federal employee for something they do as part of their duties (and yes, defending your official acts publicly counts) the US government is substituted in. And the US government is immune to defamation lawsuits. Garcia cannot sue Bondi for defamation.

The article makes it clear states already do 1/3 of routine inspections under the FDA. This project has been in the works for years to free up FDA staff to do more high priority and overseas inspections that states cannot do. Maybe it will be bad, but it's not the end of food inspections.

MANCEPT, Concepts for Him

every time I see announcements about the MANCEPT workshop all I can think is “concepts, but for him”

Noticed a bunch of these ornate gold medallions slapped all over the Oval Office. We found em on Alibaba. “High-density Home Decoration Polyurethane Appliques Ornament PU Foam Veneer Accessories” from seller Guangzhou Homemax Decorative Material Limited. sherwood.news/power/shop-t...

The UK media is weird. They will cover up everything until one day they decide they don't like you anymore and dump every dossier your buddies have been keeping on you since public school.

There is someone out there who has never heard of Riley Gaines and does not know that in an alternate universe, they are strapped to a chair forced to listen to the insane rant of their dental hygienist.

I keep hearing people say we need to prepare for war with China. I'm already ready. I know the shortest route to the bridge I'm jumping off if the US goes to war with China. I am *not* going to put up with the aftermath of that stupidity.

I really did move on from my libertarian era. But I have to say that guy had a point when they kept pointing out that the government needed to have a lot less power just in case a dipshit became president. Like, the FDA regulating medicine is good until an anti-vax moron is put in charge of it.

Even as Miles Taylor wrote that letter claiming to oppose Trump's immigration policy, he was at DHS and on TV implementing and defending those very same policies. (Including the family separation policy.) He's not a hero. He's a collaborator who was very effective at laundering his reputation.

Area man reveals one weird trick to end your university's collaboration with the military-industrial complex. University presidents hate him.

My 2 favorite things about today's tariffs announcement: 1. The tariffs on China stay, which means the largest foreign holder of US treasuries will keep dumping them and trashing the dollar. 2. It's only a 90 days pause, which means planning more than 3 months out is impossible. Brilliant!

Dear Jerome Powell, make the printing press go Brr before we all die please.

I really hate the SCOTUS decision on AEA deportations. There was absolutely no reason to lift the TRO and as Sotomayor pointed out the government's behavior should have prevented them from seeking equitable remedy. But it is not true that it endorses removal without any due process.
