Idk, man, if it’s easier for you to speak in Saudi Arabia than in the U.S. that might be a you problem

A lot of people making fun of Kennedy for blaming autism on Tylenol but en serio, how many of you talk disparagingly about autistic folks? because there’s a lot of “oh yeah he doesn’t know better because he’s autistic“ like it’s brain damage or something rather than a literal expression of diversity

Second look at Butlerian Jihad?

I don’t care what anybody says, this discussion of IShowSpeed’s name is peak journalism

A bit surprised to see Siya play this one. Means he’ll probably sit one of either Ireland or France?

yeah they're just murdering random people on these boats

Dear God, somebody help this child!

What will poor Eric Adams do for work? That’s nbody’s business but the Turks!

I’m sorry, what?

One thing I miss about Rugby Twitter is the annual “Rugby vs American Football” argument with the obligatory Eben and Jonah Lomu references.

I have lived and worked in and around Chicago for 27 years and I have been assaulted less often than Sen Paul has been in his own back yard.

This feels like a pretty good encapsulation of the current difference between establishment progressives and non-establishment ones (“leftists” or whatever).

Eric Adams

Only now catching the Springbok game. Is Sacha the best player of all time?

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens. Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.

Hitler particles off the charts with this one

If you look at the study everyone is citing, left wing violence by their parameters is on the rise... because it's basically nonexistent in the US, and has a fraction of the body count of right wing violence. But sure, follow the headline, say dumb shit.

Holy shit, this is good

Michelle Wu is someone that I don’t see talked about enough. Unlike Mamdani, she doesn’t have a cap on which elected office she can hold. She’s also shown an incredible ability at balancing progressive ideas and pragmatic approaches. Would not be surprised if her appeal scales well beyond Boston.

Is the goal of 3D chess to lose?

Sickening behavior by this agent. The fact that Mayor Adams has rolled out the red carpet for ICE is a stain on our city.

Went full dad joke for the lesson on Qohelet today. No regrets.

I’m sorry… “anti-ICE”?

If my writing about autism does anything, whether it be in my books, my columns or my reported stories, I hope it advances the idea that autistic people are whole human beings as they are with legitimate needs and inner lives that deserve to be told the same as other stories.

As sure as night follows day, the video has now been blocked in New Zealand by Sky NZ, who will also now receive all global ad revenue for the video for all the hard work they put into it.

How does anybody take this moron seriously?

The ending of today’s episode of The Daily really demonstrates that the NYT learned nothing from the critiques of that terrible Emily May piece.

As usual with conspiracists, if their theories were true the evidence would be overwhelming.

It’s about time. Evangelical Jesus needs to come get his people. They’re out of control.

Not me writing about Christian Nationalism just as Hegseth posts this absolute insanity… I didn’t need any more material, guy!

Ezra Klein went beyond opposing political violence to extol Charlie Kirk for doing politics "exactly the right way," making up a fictional version of Kirk to praise. That distortion, with its indulgence of bad faith, is a perfect illustration of the larger media failure that helps Trump. My latest

The notion that Charlie Kirk was somehow against cherry-picking verses is laughable. Half of evangelical Christianity is based on cherry-picked verses.

New idea for a niche thread: American political figures as rugby players

For the life of me, I cannot comprehend the political class’s fascination with Pete Buttigieg.

The problem here is that when you prioritize not “deepening our divisions irreparably” over “the consequences for people,” then you will inevitably reach a point where you ignore grievous harms in the name of some sort of faux unity.

Ken Jennings: champion of Jeopardy and our hearts

We'd been planning on covering RFK Jr's assertion that antidepressants are the "root cause" of gun violence, but obviously we needed to address a few others things this week as well. www.conspirituality.net/episodes/275...

I don't think pointing out the fascists' 'hypocrisy' is a good use of time. It's not hypocrisy, it's hierarchy. They actually do believe that they have the right and obligation to dominate you because they are superior to you. They are using their power not being hypocritical.

As always, the term #ProfoundAutism is BS: "Autism varies broadly in manifestations and autistic people have wide differences in support needs, although these have too much complexity to reduce to simple terms such as 'profound autism' or 'low-' or 'high-functioning.'" www.mdpi.com/2227-7102/13...

ICE threw me and other protestors to the ground on Friday because we dared to stand up for our neighbors. I’m okay, but our communities aren’t. We can't afford apathy or inaction from our leaders right now. Abolishing ICE is a moral necessity.

To square up against the defending champs and play it even for a half is really something. They were not intimidated at all and fought like hell the whole time. Excited to see where this team goes over the next four years.

It’s easy to get sucked in by the dumpster fire that is the current political climate in the U.S. and forget that much of the rest of the world have their shit together (relatively speaking)

As a man who came of age during the “#MeToo context”, the only pressure I ever felt was the pressure to not be an asshole.

Was wondering if I’d regret getting up at 3am to watch this Bok game. Happy to say I do not.

One hell of a try by Damian!

One of these days we’ll see Sacha play more than a half for the Boks. But today is not that day.

I continue to be amazed by the lack of clinical play from a team that won back-to-back world cups.
