RAW MILK TIME I was surprised to find most of the "raw milk cures ___" talking points from the last 20+ years come from one (1) raw milk dairy farmer in California. Let's get to know him!

What has to happen (publicly, on the record) for the New York Times to recognize it as corruption

we now have raw milk influencers and faux doctors rampent in every level of the US government so i don’t have too much imposter syndrome or think my beliefs are too far anymore

Laser focused on reducing prices for everyday Americans from Day One, the President has struck a deal that will lower the price of Rolls Royces, Bentleys, Jaguars, Aston Martin's, Range Rovers, and Minis. *No other consumer good received carveouts.

This person should demand payment from the Democratic party for succinctly providing them with their talking point of the day.

Sometimes I feel I need to remind people:

Shotguns Direct

Okay Luigi absolutely didn't do it and this is a pin job

This is a such a great thread. A lot of times people put me on lists of "actually good male role models" which always makes me a little uncomfortable because very little of what I do speaks to the insecurity and fear young men have and sometimes I feel pretty guilty about that.

OTK was meant to be an org for and by some of the world's biggest streamers, like asmongold and mizkif. but streamers' scandals and whims have repeatedly cost it sponsors, and now, following layoffs last year, it faces an uncertain future. my report:

Guys, I love all of you, but the answer to RFK, Jr. is not that autistic adults hold jobs, pay taxes, and get laid, it's that everyone deserves to live even if they can't work, pay taxes, or get laid.

BECAUSE WE HAVE A VACCINE. AND, UNTIL RECENTLY, ALMOST EVERYONE TOOK IT. Remarkably, nowhere in the article does the word "vaccine" appear. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/05/w...

This is where your Harry Potter money goes

"the state can just summarily imprison someone without filing charges or holding a trial" doesn't just overturn democracy it overturns 1000 years of common law, like throwing out the entire legal system entirely and saying all people in America are the state's property.

bloomberg: ~90% of deported migrants to el salvador had no criminal record

Even assuming electoral victories in 2026 and 2028, if Democrats don't start taking away badges and putting people on trial the instant they take power back, we are going to be right back here on January 21, 2032. I don't know how many more chances they're going to get to not learn this lesson.

the republican party must be outlawed from existing in the united states. we cannot live in a civil society with people as inhumanly evil as this

in case you're wondering, "what's the harm in claiming an extinct species has been brought back from the dead" when it most certainly has not, our interior secretary is already using it to justify taking animals off the endangered species list

As the author of a history of concentration camps, I would like to emphasize that this is a very bad idea, and we should definitely not do it.

Instead of believing the myth that three expensive, genetically modified wolves are “de-extinct” dire wolves, let’s look at animals humanity has actually brought back from the brink of extinction using proven science and dedicated hard work: 🧵/6

just had lunch with some dev friends who had a chance to play this early. they were *strongly* unanimous that this was "a game that will get talked about like slay the spire, inscryption and obra dinn" levels of good sounds like @blueprincegame.bsky.social is gonna be a total banger
