I love how these guys just assume no one can fact check them. Google is free; no reason to accept this guy's version of events. A simple search shows that Omar Mwannes Yaghi, a Palestinian born in Jordan, won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2025. As for literature, Abdulrazak Gurnah in 2021.
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."

Correct. I very literally brought a 9mm to court, while @neolithicsheep.bsky.social provided security, because I defended someone wrongly charged for pointing out a one-eyed Klanner had one eye And they still tried to block my car from exiting the parking lot bsky.app/profile/porg...

"All of the benefits, none of the responsibilities" describes Americans in general though, so can I really be mad about politicians acting the same way? bsky.app/profile/mich...
I am trying to be unsympathetic to the politicians in general. They want all the benefits of being an elected representative and none of the responsibilities. Maybe they should pay more attention to their constituencies and less to their strange bedfellows.

Turns out the friction of having to learn photoshop was a crucial firewall protecting society from the terrible taste of small business owners
When I first heard about AI being used for menus and advertisements, my concern was largely that it would be used to idealize the food and make it look better than it actually was. At no point did I imagine that restaurants would willingly put out horrific looking images of their food on purpose

Man, when BMW says "that's too fascist for us"
just to emphasize what's happening here: BMW (a company that used slave labor under the Nazis) refused to provide an official vehicle to the ultra right-wing AfD party, which is now asking Elon Musk to provide a Tesla instead Tesla literally becoming the Nazi car brand

Sliwa getting a flu shot: This could be very embarrassing. I’m supposed to be a tough guy, right? Mamdani: I can hold your hand. Sliwa: What happens if I faint? Mamdani: I got you. Doctor: You’re in great hands, literally. New Yorkers can find free flu shots and locations at nyc.gov/healthmap

you will encounter more opportunities in life to change the batteries on a smoke alarm than you will to run into a burning building and no one gives a shit you changed those batteries but it is still very important and why are you waiting on a burning building, know what i’m saying, it’s a metaphor

This is true. In 2016, I got into an argument with a gay man on a menswear forum. I've since made it my mission to make every man dress gay, thereby destroying his ability to tell who is actually gay and, ultimately, his chances of finding love. I built my social media following to achieve that goal

"RKF took money earmarked to provide health care for Black infants and spent it on his personal security detail" is a ludicrous headline. Comic book villainy.

I wrote about how Trump is treating presidential power like it's his own possession and using it to punish blue states — but also about how at least he's promised lots of cash for all of us. www.ctinsider.com/columnist/ar...
