I am pretty sure Joe Biden hasn't been replaced with a clone. I have no evidence for this belief except "common sense." Exceeded my rate limits on Twitter so now I'm here. Sh*tposts and takes on politics, movies, culture, whatever.

Alcohol certainly adds pounds but it’s not what’s making anyone overweight except actual alcoholics.

It’s pretty funny that the party of big business has thrown out every management technique big business has cooked up since WW2.

If you’re reading this on the coast from Virginia Beach to Galveston, good luck.

It was a hate crime. How depressing.

The idea that high IQ people are free of bias and error is not true but embraced by today’s far right. Forgetting that people tend to exaggerate their score, high IQ tend to be more lonely and isolated than people further down the curve. Seems notable if you wanna give those people power.

1/ This is the sort of dumb thinking that Yarvin inspires. Yarvin wants a "secret board" to elect his monarch-CEO. So who appoints the Board? And tallies the votes? If it's secret, how do you know? A system with this little transparency basically leads to all the legitimacy flowing to the CEO.

Yarvin, in addition to having ideas that are stupid and dangerous, has basically no understanding of the institutions and systems that he wishes to manipulate and control.

Guys Curtis Yarvin invented one cumbersome programming language a few decades ago and one ghetto USnet server clone, he is not a "genius." Your average FAANG product team would turn out a better version. Did I mention his comprehension of history is also shit?

What actually happened in that conservatives got more conservative, because conservative media went into overdrive about trans stuff and LGBT culture under Biden's presidency. Everyone has sexual fixations and conservatives have found what they're getting stuck on.

Andor S2 E4/5 thoughts: Syril and Deedra have the most fucked up romantic dynamic in TV right now, they're both sadists getting off together. Also seems like Deedra is gonna hang Syril out to dry on Planet France (Ghorman). Also like that Coruscant's Imperial architecture is more brutalist.

One of the ways the public sector (law enforcement) is different than the private sector is they cannot handle quotas without violating your constitutional rights. Tell a police department to go double their drug arrests or ICE to double immigrants arrests and you're burning the 4th amendment.

Just as the media collectively "hallucinated" the Biden one-term pledge, they are collectively "hallucinating" that Trump only wanted to deport "bad" illegal immigrants, not all of them. And we should bashing them every day for lying to us, even by omission.

The War on Drugs but for immigrants. Why arrest a serial murderer when you can use 33 in 25 for a pretextual search of someone's trunk? And be sure to charge resisting arrest when they don't immediately step out of the car.

Gen Z has had at their tips basic socialization their entire adult lives (computer, smartphones, gaming console, etc.) You don't have to leave your couch to hear a funny joke anymore. The downside is that bars provide much more important socialization opportunities than that.

Can't know for sure obviously, but think it's possible Loomer and Trump's relationship is bordering on the verge of elder abuse. Wonder what the kids think.

Not sure Tesla could deliver a $25k EV but they absolutely could have delivered a $35k EV and made millions on it in an alternate reality where Elon didn't hate his original customer base.

Roberts: "for some insane reason we believe you oughta to be able to easily concealed carry on the subway. Thomas, write it up." Thomas: "if wasn't a gun law in 1605 in England it's not legit" Roberts: "dude what the fuck" Thomas: emptying the mag into the air like Point Break

Half of SCOTUS's conservatives continue to pretend that Bruen didn't happen/doesn't mean anything, maybe they could do us the same favor on Dobbs and the Trump cases down the line?

The reason that the Ivies have so many international students and haven't increased their class size is the same: money. It's cheaper to admit intl's than expand the university. But they aren't dependent factors. Ideally you should be expanding the university.

After 80 hours in COD4 OpenAi has 0.5 KD using the M16 with Stopping Power.

Boulder is a really a continuation of Palestinians have the worst “allies.”

One thing that doesn’t seem to occur to people like this is Biden has been constantly frustrating the war’s biggest hawks by talking Ukraine out of stuff like this. Might he have done so here? Maybe, maybe not. Instead we get an America that burned its credibility with Ukraine.

The Ukrainian attack on these strategic bombers really makes it clear that everything in Russia is half-assed. They’ve haven’t lost yet through sheer manpower and industrial advantages.

Thermostatic public opinion gonna thermostat I guess.

Mr. President, you are 78, go to bed.

I’ve had my in-laws say something similar about my wife’s chronic disease and healthcare coverage (who cares how much you suffer, cause Heaven is painless and forever). Needless to say this does stop them from seeking medical treatment and listening to their doctors.

“Could … could someone on ketamine d-do this?” (Attempts elaborate dance move and breaks his ankle)

We are cutting medical research and therefore med school budgets, cutting Medicaid which is a lifeline for many hospitals in poor areas, and running off a lot of home healthcare. Unfortunately doesn’t take a genius to see where things are going.
