but I wish it were that simple. It's not just war around the globe, but current-gen policing in America, and basic "how do we treat each other". Best way I can put it is how Patrick Skinner (@SkinnerPm) who is a cop but ex-USCG+CIA puts it on Twitter: "All of us matter, or none of us do." (2/2)

Men, I am begging you, if you want to get laid, DO NOT ELECT FASCISTS YOU THINK WILL FORCE WOMEN TO FUCK YOU. Just take a shower and develop a personality.

"This technology disrupts humanities-trained, largely Democratic voters, and makes their economic power less, and increases the economic power of vocationally trained, working-class, often male, voters." Also, how come none of these newly disempowered cat ladies want to give us the children we need

A global company should know there will be varying ecological laws from country to country, and that Nordic countries are especially proactive in this regard. This wasn’t a mistake. It was intentional and should be prosecuted as such.

we've identified another vulnerability leak. now hackers on the dark web have identified your bad knee and that weird thing your shoulder does if you sleep on it wrong. there's no patch available for this, they're now just keenly aware you feel like your career has stalled out

I hope Petey felt that bitch slap from across the country.

Obama: "We've seen this movie before. I starred in it. I've got a long-form birth certification to prove it. This stuff didn't work on me. It's not going to work in Michigan on Abdul."

Everyone, this is Tom. Tom makes *beautiful* things. By rights, people should recognize him and his things. Ideally they should ask him nicely to make them beautiful things and offer him lots of money. This isn't costumery, this is art. Just my tuppence worth.

Inverted Rodeo Clown because this isn’t my first time I’ve made someone laugh during sex.

Everything I didn’t want to learn about covert narcissism: They must protect their delicate ego at all times. They continuously rewrite reality to keep their image of the so called“wounded healer”. They take pride in calling themselves an empath, saying they “feel everything“ 1/3

It seems impossible for our political system to hold the politicians tied to the actual invasion of our Capitol to account, but any random Muslim candidate is reflexively labeled a terrorist.

As turnout in Texas nears 3 million votes, Hispanic turnout is now exceeding presidential levels. More Hispanics have voted than did at this point in the 2024 presidential election. What's driving this huge increase? Young voters.

@gabrielzucman.bsky.social: So let met get that straight: paying a wealth tax is impossible (“billionaires have no liquidity”, “it would be taxing unrealized gains”, “their wealth is virtual”) but one man paying half a billion to influence elections is possible. Did I understand well?

Archaeologists discovered a 1,000-year-old medieval stone building at the royal palace of Helfta, Germany. 🏰 Otto the Great was associated with the site. Jewelry, coins, and a bone flute were uncovered among the ruins. Otto had a whole palace, I get excited when my microwave has 30 seconds left. 😂

OBAMA: When I was president, all these Republicans are all deficits, deficits, debt, debt. You got to do something about it. And now—$40 trillion—Crickets. Somehow deficits only matter when a Democratic president is in office

Probably a stretch, but I wonder if James Dolan's "growing cybersecurity concerns" are based on the fact that Manchester City's financial fraud came to light via a phishing expedition.

his family is actually much worse than Afrikaners. Afrikaners at least had the excuse of being born into the situation. his family is Canadian, and chose to immigrate to South Africa *because* they wanted the racism

Like, to have a meaningful debate, you require at least two participants who: - know a lot about the subject - have some common values about the purpose of the debate - hold conflicting positions on the subject - but do not hold those positions particularly strongly

"You won't debate me because you can't beat my IDEAS"—no, loser, I won't debate you because your ideas have been considered and rejected and no longer warrant debate, and the very act of engaging in debate frames you as better than you are and your failed ideas as worthy of anything but contempt.

I have a new newsletter today, about LLMs and interoception and introspection and narrative and definitely NOT consciousness why do you think it's about consciousness I would never write about consciousness buttondown.com/apperceptive...

NEW: Elon Musk gave his super PAC $76 million in just two weeks of October, and more than half of its new candidate spending went to one race: the Texas Senate fight against James Talarico. He’s now given more than $445 million this cycle, far more than he spent electing Trump.
