That and also the "the Middle-East is a nation-state for Muslims, who are a distinct race" is not solely a right-wing delusion.

"well Republicans are more antisemitic so it's fine if Dems also get antisemitic" is definitely a take

Lol, lmao even, someone got blocked by the edgelord for correctly noting that Beijing changed the wording of the report lmao.

A big problem with leftists is they have neither the ability nor the will to parse "people who believe in a larger welfare state" from "people who believe in that, but also want Soviet-style genocides of undesirables, leftistly" and I've watched them fail to realize it's a problem for like a decade.

This seems like a deep rooted epistemic problem that the refusal to scream something at the top of your lungs under social pressure amounts to literally any particular meaning other than not wanting to do that thing specifically

Kiros does not, however, consider firebombing a Jewish march to be anti-Semitism. She's rather like the genteel conservatives who have no racist bone in their body and assert they're against racism but also discrimination against minorities isn't racism.

(((Peacefully))) invading and destroying a sovereign country.

Seriously, if you want to defend her saying that the Israeli state - both domestically viewed as legitimate by a majority of its people and internationally recognized - should be eliminated, say it with your whole chest. This weasel-word cowardice is contemptible.

The air conditioning at the Delaney Hall concentration camp failed today, so now people are roasting inside as temperatures rise above 100 degrees. It's so hot they can't breathe.

--you don't get to use Jews as your sin-eaters because you're sad you were raised in one of the most destructive colonizing entities in modern history. Israel and Palestine aren't Villain and Hero characters you root for. They're nation-states with their own political aims and citizens.

Right, but Bush being not any more ignorant than the average American is a condemnation of the average American.

SHOOTAZ, BLOOD, AND TEEF!

Working class are smoothgroins, only college educated children of university professors truly understand the working class.

PITTSBURGH—Noting that the man could often be seen waiting outside O’Malley’s Tap with his hands shaking in anticipation before the doors even opened, sources confirmed Thursday that local 54-year-old Brian Munson, who goes to the bar every day at 10 a.m., must be a huge soccer fan.

man, even JPod is like "what the fuck is happening to people"

What's more nonsensical: smashing a pumpkin using a number, or growing flowers inside a sneeze? Our paper on graded inconceivability is out now in Cognition! Come for the cognitive science 🧠🔍, stay for the whimsy 🌼🧚! 🔗Journal link: bit.ly/gradedInconCog

'the views of these western backed groups, are predicated upon a political project' BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!

I mean while these changes were dramatic, they were not generally described as “the elimination of the American state,” and indeed it was the enemies of the 14th Amendment which sought the destruction of the Union. If that language is simply poetic license, Kiros is free to say so!

In this @braininspired.bsky.social episode, @yoginho.spore.social.ap.brid.gy argues why neuroscience should ground concepts such as agency, intelligence and consciousness in principles fundamental to life, not as detached algorithms and computations. www.thetransmitter.org/brain-inspir...

We need not adopt a style of scholarship to appreciate its existence. @yoginho.spore.social.ap.brid.gy challenges norms. I think that’s good. Recommended listen, especially for those who feel they don’t quite fit b/c something about all this “computationalism” seems a bit off. He’s right about that.

Hey wait a minute caulk isn't Roman!

Nothing was wrong about that. Israel had not even retaliated yet. They’d just suffered the largest mass murder of Jews in a single day since the Holocaust & that same day DSA posted a 5 tweet thread calling for a protest for the murderers, claiming Israel deserved it for oppressing the Gazans.

No, a small number of young people who live on their phones and don't know what "genocide" means have decided that this is more important than stopping an authoritarian takeover of the United States.

Ever wondered how the hippocampal cognitive map is read-out? @changmin-yu.bsky.social @zilong-ji.bsky.social with Jake & John, show that, during navigation, theta sweeps indicate remembered goal-directions (cf. current/next movements or perceptual targets) 1/2 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Again, when leftists like this decide to go full legalistic, it kinda reveals that they aren't acting out of a desire for a moral center or are acting against genocide. They're acting out of their own *legalistic desire for conformity*.

Love to watch Very Principled Leftists do genocide denial on main.

One of my spicier takes is that nuclear power is not just good for the environment in terms of climate change, but also that it forces long-term thinking in ways almost no other infrastructure does.

if it helps, i am certain we will all get to make up for it when It Happens

Btw this is the kind of stuff that happens when your discord friends start talking about how praising the 10/7 massacres was no big deal and you don't object. You end up creating scandals for yourself that you don't know how to respond to

Going back in time to tell the radical republicans that their party was taken over by confederate sympathizers and the first black president was a democrat

We limit the speed of ebikes "for public safety", yet this study shows we'd need to limit SUVs to 5.7 km/h for them to pose the same risk to other people #motonormativity findingspress.org/article/1587...

I keep telling people that there's no two ways about it: the green revolution is unstoppable.

this man is proposing to destroy a natural instrument for revealing objective morality

the moment you hatch a more evil plan to end their evil plan, they're your Minions. Sorry pal.

Yeah I do hear them "fucking whine that much", because I actually pay any fucking attention

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

One of the reasons the growing usage of “Zionist” as the kind of omni-villain for the left makes me extraordinarily uncomfortable is that it’s a term that seems chosen to sweep in a lot of these people while pretending to stay focused on geopolitics

The space between "open borders" & "let's not do a massive deportations machine" is an ocean

I do not think the USA match in the World Cup should be advertised with "The Impossible Dream"

I'd say the height limitations are more due to this-century expectations than previous-century ones. ...Finding supporting illustrations may be a challenge, though. (But existing "dedicated" raised pie molds are pretty tall. Look at this 1800s French one.)

OK, so just as I have to yell at my fellow Americans "air conditioners *are* heat pumps!" to combat basic ignorance of what the tech actually is, Europeans need to hear "heat pumps *are* air conditioners" because y'all are making arguments which don't make sense if you see why heat pumps are good.

Wow -- one of the climbers atop the Empire State Building appears to have gotten down on one knee and proposed to the other

Hot take: generative AI is vastly better than human beings at documenting what the heck it's doing when coding or compositing something because doing so is literally its only way to "keep in mind" what's actually going on, whereas we leave documentation for later because we have interiority.
