JD Vance says of the Middle East that it's "a region of the world made up of countries whose name I couldn't even pronounce"

they should stick to esoteric, nonspecific racism because this is immediately falsifiable

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

remember more people voted for Trump in California than the total population of many western red states

Trump: You wanna see trauma? I said it the other day. Let them hit a missile into San Diego or Los Angeles.

I hope oil stays high forever. No one was pricing in the externalities, so high market prices are the best thing for humanity in the long term. Electrification and density is the way of the future.

Putting Curb at #9 feels very New York biased. Curb is great but there are many better shows lower in the list

I adore Mike White but The White Lotus being ranked higher than The Leftovers on the NYT list is blasphemy!! www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Successful proof of concept, time to extrapolate and scale and raise funding based on conservative TAM of every existing asset in the universe

bullying an academic, for fraud, to death: crickets experiencing consequences for being a racist bully: muh freedom

Alexander Kustov@akoustov.bsky.social

I wish more academic folks on the left with strong anti-racist views would sign this too.

more and more I realize the real marvel of modern life is medical science and public health, the things we call technology otherwise are a joke in comparison, truly.

Moments like this show who has a world view grounded in principle or just blind opposition to anything Trump does. Lower tensions with DPRK is good. The sad thing is the dems get outflanked on the left by Trump doing random shit.

Elon Musk says

Elon Musk says Grok 4.7 will outperform every existing AI model, arguing SpaceX’s proprietary engineering data will give it an edge on real-world engineering tasks. $SPCX Grok 4.7 has not yet been released or independently benchmarked.

The Republican Party must be destroyed as a functional political entity. But conservatism itself must be eradicated in any way that resembles it's modern existence. There is nothing to save. There is nothing that deserves your respect.

of course it did they valued the company like 1000x revenue how else could this have gone? The true believers were already tied up Tesla anyway

The fascinating thing about this is the political gap between the people that had a voice and faced no consequence and the people who bear the consequences but had no voice

Mark Chadbourn@chadbourn.bsky.social

A fifth of Leave voters have died.

do you think a lack of Republican punching bag accounts is why most of the blue maga crowd on bsky focuses all their ire on a small progressive contingent over the much larger gop block… you don’t get as much engagement for just saying right wingers suck

my kids have been doing active shooter drills since the second they entered school. cable news talking heads are like, from a different planet. shut the fuck up

I trust my coworkers more than I trust AI agents so it’s really annoying when they paste AI work, unidentified, leaving me to guess whether I need to commit extra neurons to oversee and review slop they couldn’t be bothered to

ah yes the Irish, famously part of an American “monoculture“ and always welcomed

Tom Joscelyn@tomjoscelyn.bsky.social

We must speak plainly about the agenda Elon Musk & other MAGA leaders are pushing. It’s white nationalism. There’s no room for Black, Hispanic/Latino, Asian, Native, Jewish or all other Americans in Musk’s monocultural vision. Multiculturalism is superior. We can’t allow Musk & others to end it.

say what you will about Trump but at least he has the planes running on time* * all flights to El Paso canceled for 10 days then uncanceled hours later with no justification

Not only that but Russia is 100 times closer to US territory than Greenland, right now

Adam Schwarz@adamjschwarz.bsky.social

Trump: "We are going to do something on Greenland, whether they like it or not because if we don't do it - Russia or China will do it. And we're not going to have Russia or China as a neighbour." Russia is already a neighbour of the United States via Alaska.

the audacity to say civilians are presumed innocent, when the issue was summary execution of a civilian

Minnesota 50501@mn50501.bsky.social

Thank you for telling us you neither serve nor protect. Thank you for saying the quiet part out loud. That was state murder in broad daylight, captured from multiple angles by multiple witnesses, and the people of Minneapolis have eyes. You support murder.
