According to Bluesky, if nine people sit at a table with one Nazi, there are ten Nazis at the table. So if fifty people go to a protest and one of them shoots a police officer...

Got my black wife a watermelon for Juneteenth, and we laughed, because it's a silly holiday and neither of us care about modern racial narcissism. Happy slave day or whatever, though.

There's a rattlesnake in my workplace. It's rattling at me.

"Restoration" is a tough brand to maintain as we become a country of sidewalk tent cities and grape-sized ticks.

Of course. Just make him withdraw his trillion dollars of cash from the ATM and distribute it to one million people in a country of over 300 million. It's so obvious.

You (we!) increased immigration to unprecedented levels in liberal democracies which explicitly privilege and reward ethnic factionalism. Obviously there's race riots. What are you going to do about it? Censor the internet? What are we doing here?

So is this the voice of the unheard or isn't it?

>box says "competent technocratic governance" >look inside >it's ethnic factionalism and social engineering

People are actually right to be skeptical and conspiracy-minded around elections. You should assume every election is dirty until proved clean. Can you link every ballot in California with the living, breathing voter in whose name it was cast? If you can't do that, I'm afraid the election is a sham.

The account has obviously been paid to shill crypto.

It was always going to end up as a lame spectacle in the Red vs. Blue nursing home brawl. Whichever party controls the White House determines whose brand of tired propaganda gets showcased. It happens to be Red this time.

Commentary of a South African surgeon - January, 2011.

The fact that the Digwa family thought concocting a racism narrative would shield them from police action pretty much gives the game away.

Found it. Research, Information and Communications Unit (RICU).

Reminder that the issue at hand is a homicide in which the police arrested the dying victim on the word of his assailant for what appear to be racial reasons. Catastrophizing about an opposition figure is obviously the British state conducting narrative control.

Without even looking, I'll bet I can summarize both books mentioned here. BoyMom: "How to combat the innate evil within your son, who is simply a flawed copy of your daughter." Patriarchy Blues: "The male sex suffers due to its own tyrannical nature."

It would have been more fruitful for everyone in this discussion to have just masturbated.

Britain is an island to the north and west of the European continent. There are people living on this island. These people have a government. What is the purpose of that government?

The American government has (or had - Trump may have scrapped it) a "Community Relations Service" which coaches the parents of victims like Nowak to make such statements. The UK might have a similar institution. A lot of these statements are basically made under duress.

I'm really appalled by this trend wherein empathy is fêted as the queen of virtues. It's not a synonym for "compassion." Most of these people have no theory of mind for people outside their own tradition which doesn't boil down to "they're evil."

Really wondering if I should stretch the interpretation of sound medical advice and get my wife back into the bowling league immediately after having a baby. Other teams play worse when she's on my team.

We have Klaus, the family cat, but we also have Mouse, who is Klaus' cat. This is Mouse.

I am astounded at the age of Bluesky users. It's like visiting a hospice center. No wonder the discourse feels so stale.

My wife and I attended a baby shower with my side of the family. Dozens of pictures were taken, and this was the only good one.

Nihilism is the virtue of our age. The world and all its history can be seen in color once you spit out the tired old myths. It's easy when you realize everyone's just pretending anyways. Democracy? Revolution? Freedom? Equality? It was always pretense. You just have to stop.

Put it in the Blade Runner setting. Make it a Western. Noir detective style. Gritty Vietnam war movie. For God's sake, make it a Toy Story sequel. Anything but this tired old rendition of "racial opera with a peanut gallery."

The actual ugliness of the new Odyssey movie is that the tale can have ANY setting. "O Brother Where Art Thou" placed it in the Depression-era American South. Too bad: all we get now is the rotten yin-yang of the sterile Hollywood machine vs. outrage slop merchants.

Wife + dog reveal. Go easy on her, she's very pregnant at the moment.

I love my floating tent.

Clear difference here between a statesman (Xi) and a politician (any elected member of FedGov). Ultimately, this is because Xi's power is real, not just ceremonial.

I live and work in a predominantly Mormon environment, and one of the funnier aspects of this is that drinking coffee isn't the norm. Oh, no. The norm is cracking open a cold mountain dew at 6AM on a freezing January morning.

Mr. Klaus, the family cat.

Disclaimer: I'm American, BUT I got my tech degree at a popular institution with a very solid reputation. The walls were plastered with "women in STEM" infographics and the like. My graduating class was 100% male. The Early Childcare class across the street was 100% female.

1) NYPD brings a man in for a psychiatric evaluation 2) Man is released after an hour 3) Hours later, the same man shoves a 76-year-old down a flight of subway stairs - fatally. Hey, they're your policies, not mine.
