burned?

Everyone in North Carolina buys 100% of their hard liquor from state-run stores

The most important part of republican fascism is the demand you must be nice to them.

here's a funny thing: the dmv in nyc is an insanely seamless experience if you are not a moron. and gristede's sucks.

You're allowed to advocate for white supremacy in the classroom because controversial ideas should be taught! people aren't made of glass snowflake! Also if someone says slavery's legacy persists into the present that's traumatic for white kids and it should not be allowed bsky.app/profile/anth...

Wow: ICE Has Deported at Least 70 U.S. Citizens

Masked ICE agents spotted swapping out license plates this morning in Bell Gardens, CA

Personally I am unfamiliar with any legitimate activity that requires switching license plates, which by the way is illegal.

AOC: Being taken is wrong, it is illegal, it is a violation of his First Amendment rights, it is an affront to every American, and we will not allow—and will continue to resist—the politicization and the continued political persecution that ICE is engaged in.

ICE agents in tactical gear chase down and tackle a U.S. citizen in L.A. After realizing he’s American, they just slink away. Their only explanation: “Why were you running?” Probably because two masked men with guns were trying to snatch him.

The Manhattan Institute, then and now.

I think you are lying

it is a sign of just how little pull vance has in the white house that he made an account on a niche social network to troll

ok I looked at his posts and wow did the vice president think he could just Jesse Singal himself onto this website

Fantastic. Let’s start with the 2024 Michigan Ohio State football game. If you’ll recall, Michigan won by a score of 13-10. Given that you broke the CFP Championship trophy, should I take from that incident that we share the belief that Ohio State’s national title is fraudulent?

I’m still surprised that in a nation drowning in guns and “stand your ground” rationalizations, none of these masked kidnappers have been shot at yet.

israel is going to like a democratic iran much less than they liked the theocracy. if it comes on the heels of these attacks, there is exactly one way which they can demonstrate that it was not midwifed into existence by mossad.

Boy, Pam Bondi is real fucking quiet about political assassinations after being real quick to make statements about burning Teslas.

I wonder if there will end up being a tension between “Strong business productivity tools” and “Extremely sycophantic to maximize MAU’s/time spent.”

a Republican House member from SC, Rep. RJ May, is facing 10 counts of CSAM using the screen name "joebidennnn69" im dead

Rewording my earlier post. RFK Jr will be testifying before Congress. I am interested in what experts and others think would be the best way to leverage this time and opportunity for the public good. If you were behind the dais for this hearing, what would you do? What do you want to see asked?

The Free Press getting caught with bad data on Twitter and a correction that sources the correct data from . . . the Daily Wire . . . is amazing. x.com/thefp/status...

The central delusion of pundits who desperately try to guilt people into coming back to Twitter: they genuinely seem to think we all secretly MISS Twitter and are merely hanging out over here out of a drab, self-flagellating sense of moral superiority no, we're here because Twitter sucks shit now

I ran an experiment, simultaneously posting articles on Bluesky and X, and then testing to see how many people actually clicked and read them. The numbers on Bluesky are higher, both because the X algorithm downranks journalism, and because Bluesky attracts readers, not just shitposters.

I still crosspost a lot of stuff on Twitter for this reason. You know what happens? I get literally thousands of people calling me a faggot and saying they want a “final solution” to trannies and faggots like me These people are actively encouraged by the site’s owner. Maybe talk about that

Hope other countries are excited for the LA Olympics!

It's pretty insane how LLMs figured out how to do math: they built a "generalized helix" representing numbers they perform trigonometry on in order to do simple math. No human invented this, this is an emergent property from training on examples of arithmetic in their data set

DEAN: What's the tariff on bananas? LUTNICK: Generally 10% DEAN: Walmart has already increased the cost of bananas by 8% LUTNICK: If you build in America, there is no tariff DEAN: We cannot build bananas in America

Would you guys watch this

This is pretty devastating. Lutnick admits that tariffs were never about reciprocity, eliminating foreign trade barriers, or negotiating better deals. They just don't like international trade. Period. He even says about imports: "we don't want other people making them."

Three Palestinian students were shot in Vermont. A Palestinian six-year-old was murdered by his pro-Israel landlord. A Texas woman was indicted for trying to drown a 3-year-old Palestinian girl. We don't have to make this comparison to condemn what happened in Boulder on Sunday. We really don't.

homophobic hatred reportedly motivated those who killed this talented man- so devastating. rest in peace & thank you for your great characters. variety.com/2025/tv/obit...

The real problem with Moldbug is that this kind of guy is, like the first type of guy you fought with on the internet in Web 1.0 forums, so people who grew up online know to ignore him, but the people who didn’t think he needs to be engaged with. He even looks the part.

I’m sure you’ll welcome criticism of your posting style then 👍

Who needs an atmosphere when you’ve got Lyft and middle class tax cuts

You’re telling me this guy was on drugs? I’m not buying it.

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

A 12-year-old girl escaped her village in eastern Ukraine just before Russian troops overran it. But her personal fight was only beginning.
