Its counterproductive talking about it like just a US thing. Russia funds campaigns and propaganda all over the world. The wealthiest man in the world is basically running his own foreign policy. Fucking Hungary was a key player. Its a multinational movement of fascists, from the US and more.
Pretending this is true, we have invaded and bombed their country and killed their leaders and people. It would be irresponsible for them not to be trying to figure out how to attack us. That's part of why you don't just start wars.
The New York Times just put out this credulous bullshit that claims Iran is getting ready to attack, citing Trump officials. This is clearly a way for Trump to justify more heavy bombing. It’s so fucking irresponsible to position it like this.
There are many reasons I'd never be an Airbnb and don't want to stay in one. But its really weird how many people here are mad about being asked to do the dishes. Do you just want to live in squalor for a week? Are you trying to give the place an infestation of some kind?
Airbnb is banning its hosts from making guests do things like “stripping the bed, taking trash offsite, or washing and putting away dishes.” The hosts....are not taking it well: www.wired.com/story/airbnb...
One thing this shows is that we badly need corporate governance reform. A publicly traded company cannot be changing its stock structure so one guy avoids taxes. And the entire concept of non voting shares needs to go away.
“.. The filings pull back the curtain, in vivid detail, on how billionaires like Mr. Zuckerberg — whose net worth stands at $247 billion — are navigating the risk posed by California’s proposed tax.” @nytimes.com $META www.nytimes.com/2026/10/21/t...
When BLM stood up to cop riots, the incumbent president lost reelection. J6 eventually got everything they wanted. Peaceful AntiWar protests got us out of 0 wars.
Martin Luther King was much more successful than Malcolm X for example. Before that, there was no need for a bloody civil war in most countries that abolished slavery. Just votes. Independence can also be bloodless. Gandhi in India, Walesa in Poland, Mandela in South Africa. The list is long.
Need a spreadsheet that tracks culture war issues with one or two experts or examples.
As far as I can tell, literally every article on this quotes the same "expert" — a former estranged father who has an entire blog dedicated to absolving parents of any responsibility. He also sells $995 "consultations" where he will blame your kids for cutting you off.
This might be one of the worst sports related sports stories I've read. This is Vince McMahon level negligence. The league needs to get involved here and start chopping heads.
Eagles QB Jalen Hurts, who is out for the season after several blood clots were revealed in his lungs. Before the London game, Hurts was in the hospital until 4 am and did not sleep because sleep was a risk. He played the game without having slept. Crazy.
Gladwell is the master of logicking himself into fascinating discoveries about the hidden things underlying reality, actual facts be damned.
“In recent years, many Americans have decided that their country’s problem was that it had too many police officers, when in fact its problem was that it had too few,” Malcolm Gladwell writes:
Remember when Pamela Paul started writing opinion columns and we learned that the NYT book review had been controlled by an antiwoke troll? Feels like we get those moments weekly now.
Hearing from my sources that this "over the top" tweet from Jan Crawford is being discussed internally at CBS. At the same time, as those same sources noted, "Jan is protected by Bari" and has been a very vocal acolyte of Weiss. "She just can't help herself," one network insider said.
This is weird. Because Tommy was not doing a dual loyalty thing. He was doing a "all Muslims are terrorists" thing. He was just to chicken shit to admit it. This bears a lot of similarities to the standard "and then everyone clapped" stories conservatives spread. I'd almost think it's staged.
This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.
This might be the most deranged reply section ever.
This year, federal agents terrorized our streets, killed our neighbors, and detained our children. Minnesotans were changed forever. Michele Tafoya thinks ICE treats kids “really well.” I think ICE should be ripped apart and replaced by a system grounded in dignity and due process.
To me its simple. X is Grok these days, and Grok was specifically designed to be the AI that would call itself mechahitler and make nonconsensual porn. So if you use mechahitler the sexual assulter, you're ok with mechahitler and sexual assault.
It's not even the ethics of it. My career, my hobbies, my free time, hell, my whole life took off once I fully left Twitter. It is a place to go if you want to be stuck in a neverending race war feedback loop. Like not using ChatGPT, not using Twitter is a superpower. Remain employable; stay off it.
I hate everything about this. Its not wrestling, its stunts. Its not good stunts because they don't know how to do it safely and are doing it despite not being able to pull it off. But at least I'm sure they had great insurance and were paid a lot of money.
Just got sent this I don't have any more info but I've never seen that spot go that bad before
Remember when it came out that Trump was having regular strategy calls with Hannity from the Oval Office? Or when Trump plucked people straight from Fox News for cabinet positions?
Everyone knows Fox News is a GOP propaganda outlet in service to Donald Trump. The last holdouts arguing otherwise at this late date are some combination of ignorant, naive, on the Fox payroll, lying to the public, or lying to themselves. www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/fox...
I can forgive stupid premises, but have a harder time with stupid world building.
You ever have that thing where you're reading a book and you can do the lift for suspension of disbelief for the entire fantastical premise of the thing but then you hit one detail and your brain is like "absolutely not"?
