The United States became the world leader in math, physics, etc because the previous world leader, Germany, decided to purge all of its university faculty, restrict research, and in some cases entirely destroy several institutions (most famously the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft)

important thing to note here is dr oz cites a current american replacement rate of 1.5, which is not true. the american replacement level in 2025 was 1.79. interestingly, the white replacement rate is in fact at 1.5 though

sure gas is headed to $8/gallon but at least cornell got rid of their gender studies classes. or at least i think they did, i haven’t checked and if im being honest i wouldnt really know if they had or hadnt because it doesnt affect me but it makes $8/gallon gas all worth it

Whole lot to unpack in that column but my goodness what in the world is this comparison. I don't think there's a "double standard" at work when Democrats in Congress have more public criticism for President of the United States Donald Trump than for Some Leftist Streamer Most People Don't Know.

Happy birthday to John Brown, who knew exactly how to handle the south’s “Peculiar Institution”

Lifelong Nazi spots a new revenue spigot, adjusts their ideology by 5%, says they were only a lifelong Nazi because they were hypnotized by you-know-who. The finest minds online: 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

🤷‍♂️

turns out when you legitimate a taste for bigotry people gravitate to the parties that serve it as an entree rather than as a garnish

that the virginia supreme court allowed the referendum to go forward - they could have stopped it - and then ruled this way really gives up the game the only difference between now and then is that the we know the result and they didn't like it

Took my kid to the Venice Beach skatepark last Saturday so she could practice pumping and my 50 year old ass was able to hit a frontside flip in front of a bunch of teenagers and I got a chorus of OHHHHHHs and an "old head can rip" and lemme tell you I walked away like this

It’s telling that Alabama took 14 years to implement Brown (you MUST desegregate) and < 14 days to implement Callais (you CAN eliminate Black districts if you call them Democratic, but you don’t HAVE to).

I'll never get over them being like "wow... she's the ultimate lifeform..." and it's the lady from youtu.be/ZPUPaxgIo98

Me every time I get a rejection letter from a job I applied to not even 24 hours ago

Beyond just the fact that a court is an intrinsically political position, the 6 reactionaries sitting on it are blatant partisan hacks and have been for decades

This leads the former person to fetishize a certain idea of the working class as factory workers because that is Production, while the latter recognizes that *in Marx's time,* factory workers were radical because they were the most urbanized and their work was at the leading edge of value creation.

As is often the case with Marx, things go very poorly if you take what he said as a doctrine that just needs a little updating, but very well when you interpret him as exposing broader social forces as they appeared in his own time, and not worrying if you reach a different conclusion sometimes.

Imagine spending years screaming about Jeremy Corbyn and then printing this shit

The guy turns 80 in a month and looks like someone sculpted a mannequin out of curdled milk lmfao

Not exactly Calla Walsh's biggest fan but it is so deeply strange to me that the Boston Globe is writing basically a hit piece against a 20-something

A small part of the reason AI coding is so pushed is that it's so efficient for getting side projects off the ground almost instantly. The problem is that most new project code is boilerplate provided by a framework, so using the same tool in an enterprise setting gets different results

It was the "best" solution that global North leftists/progressives could think up at the time, but I don't think this factors into why modern leftists hate Israel — especially because modern leftism is way more decolonial in response to projects like Zionism being so awful

When is Joe Biden gonna die

Rudy Giuliani hospitalized? Clearly this is some trick to get me to get my account deleted

lmao goddamn what an absolute joke of a headline

Ash spent 10 minutes posted up outside my bathroom door meowing at me and as soon as I left he started biting me

the thing dem pols need to internalize is this guy and his entire family will vote republican for the rest of their lives, regardless of the republican party literally ending their livelihood

Another terrorist trained by Palestinians:

As soon as I got him to leave the dryer he immediately jumped into the washing machine

this is straightforwardly impeachable conduct

"Does the NYT's habit of writing misleading headlines cause death in children? Editors' Mamdani fixation raises the question."

We've found another prime number that's illegal

As a gay man I have actually sat down to think about the hardest serves of all time and settled on Rachael being #1

Multiracial democracy in the American South has briefly existed twice in American history, both times enforced from outside, and both times has lapsed the instant the rest of the country lost interest.

this is genuinely wild to see. there was theorizing early after his firing on fox news that an independant tucker carlson would be far more dangerous and bigger than he was on fox news, but he doesn’t really have that much cache beyond clip farming on twitter lol

GitHub is cooking their books so bad lmfao this is a comms lie for the ages

Me after studying math for 7 years of my life

Apparently the judge just dismissed the case against her. What's the point of even having a petitioning process if you can commit blatant fraud like this

As a Linux user I never need to worry about the government spying on me through my microphone or camera because neither ever works

Who Rules America concludes that the Supreme Court's most consistent track record is supporting business interests and opposing labor unions

Even more impressive results for Analilia Mejia. She flipped the traditionally Republican Passaic County, running ahead of Kamala Harris by 17 points. A progressive won a red area the centrists lost.

Not a real democracy.

Impeach the bribe-takers and pack this fucking Court

More evidence that they don't want you to know goblins are real #GoblinTruth

LLMs are likely going to be the mediating lens through which large swathes of the population make sense of the world around them on political issues, & it's very bad that a man who has a strong case for being one of the worst people alive is one of the few to be actively trying to exploit this

Personality cults are just so cringe if you are not in them. That is, I guess, genuinely a functional aspect of them - it makes it harder to leave once you are in, since it's legitimately embarrassing to have been taken in by this sort of tacky kitsch.

Democratic socialists: Vote! Get centrists out of office, fascism can be stopped at the ballot box Will Stancil followers:

People talk about Palestinian statehood and this is what the majority of so called two-staters advocate: a bantustan that holds sham elections that Israel can annul or alter as they please because their army remains in the territory.
