"Charlie Kirk is anti-trans, ergo he wants trans people dead, and therefore if someone kills him, that's just living by the sword and dying by the sword" is what the kids like to call "manufacturing consent." So no, you don't object to that code. You personify it. That's not what he said. And also most modern conveniences also come at a cost of life. Motorized transport. Over-the-counter medication. Does that mean people who die from those things had it coming because they didn't want those things banned?

Over the years I've had several people tell me that they don't understand much about the Middle East, but that they are instinctively swayed towards Israel because of how intrinsically linked the Palestinian cause has always been with anti-Americanism. Burning or removing the American flag as part of a protest meant to appeal to Americans to adopt your position makes no sense EVEN if you are also protesting American complicity. You're just copycatting foreign protests without realizing how self-defeating that is domestically.

Paul Krugman hasn't tweeted anything about this conflict or the antisemitism it has revealed. I want to see how long it'll take @paulkrugman, who is VERY concerned about antisemitism, to tweet ANYTHING about the current war or wave of psychotic Jew hatred abroad and at home. Almost three weeks and not a word.

To liberal/progressive Jews who currently feel isolated I say this: You have a choice. You can chose to step out of your comfort zone, break friendships, be vocally not ok with what you see, or you can keep living with this feeling you have now forever. There is no third option. You're not going to "wait this out." In six months or a year when everyone has moved on to the election or whatever else will be happening - those people will still be there beside you and will still believe the things they said now. And the rest of us won't let anyone forget it.

Amazing job by ChatGPT here describing a fully imaginary play that never happened and then attempting to correct itself and still getting it wrong. ImageImage It did this another time but it was in Hebrew so screencaps will be useless. It provided info and links on a certain minor event in the past but none of the links were correct and I even checked archival copies of the paper it cited and found nothing. Totally made up info.

The fact that TikTok is an incubator for social contagion has to be deliberate, and here's my argument: If there wasn't some kind of subtle hidden hand behind amplifying the crazy, why would the CCP need an entirely separate-but-identical app for use in China? 1/4 You can't get TikTok in China, only Douyin, which is exactly TikTok but without any of the content that's on TikTok. You can download Douyin in the West but cannot get TikTok in China. They would easily have the ability to run one system with a China content filter but don't. 2/4

Stop taking pictures pointing your dumb guns at the sky, you absolute cringe children. You act like you're better than that when democrats all jump on the same juvenile bandwagon. Jesus Christ with this performative nonsense. Not even a single original idea among them. Oh I saw three other politicians do it so let's scrape some cheap clout out of it too!

The most offensive thing about Colbert is how low effort his material is. Not to mention that when your nominee is almost certainly going to be a scatterbrained geriatric, I'm not sure ragging on DeSantis' lack of smooth style is the own you think it is. What does that toilet paper joke even mean? Unless saying the words "DeSantis" and "toilet" in the same sentence *was* the joke.

Famous like Secretariat or famous like Shadowfax? Some good mentions here including Epona and Artax, but I was disappointed to not see Mandarb in there. That was what I named my horse in BotW.

2 days before Kwan's tweet there was a $2 billion run on UST, and 3 days after it Luna lost 96% of its value. The Binance run started 3 days ago and now CZ tweets this. On this pace, the 17th or 18th is when it all implodes. But I'm just some dude bullshitting on the internet. 🤷‍♂️ Image Still just some dude bullshitting on the internet... 🤷‍♂️ Image

Taylor is tweeting at me from behind a block so I can't respond with these screenshots. Shrug. Taylor works very hard to erase her old tweets, but here's the text of one where she confirms she and Claudia were "mutuals" and that she "literally talked to her."

The "talking past each other" flavor of today is that it was known that Twitter *could* do stuff to your tweets and that as a private company they were *allowed* to do it, but they also denied doing this to the extent and with the tilt that they did. That's the "revelatory" part. So the idea that "this was well reported" is a dodge. The existence of certain abilities and the freedom to use them are a separate matter from what Twitter executives and their media cheerleaders insisted wasn't happening, while it clearly was.

lol Image Weird fact I learned while finding that tweet: Part of how Aaron Rupar makes money is that he's a brand ambassador for the company that makes the software he uses to clip stuff for Twitter, which is run by a college buddy of his.

BLEEP BLOOP DOING PR FOR THE WORLD'S RICHEST MAN BLEEP BLOOP ImageImageImage Yeah it's a combination of this and whatever group chats a lot of these people hang out in. A lot of it is just unoriginal thinking and a race for engagement instead of sharing someone else's identical take.

This is 100% planet PR. "Come tour our fancy building and write about it."

The truth is these buildings are garbage and the people who buy apartments there regret it. 432 Park is another of these and it sounds like a total nightmare (video in next tweet)

Nick Fuentes doesn't even have the moral fortitude to be an actual racist. That Aryan munchkin will throw around the N-Word casually but the second he has a chance to sidle up to some black celebrity, suddenly he looks like a fan of Kris Kross circa 1991. He's not trolling. He's a literal troll. Like one of those dolls.

Here's my take on the "Guyladriel" controversy: I think a character this old can go through multiple incarnations in their life. Right now, her warlike nature feels like a natural progression of her grief. Her brother was a soldier, and to continue his fight, she must be too. 1/5 However, for this character arc to make sense, it is crucial for her to learn that more orcs on the tip of her blade isn't the way for her to fight this battle. If it just ends with her leading the charge of the army, it'll feel like a waste. 2/5
