Hint: There are Arab winners of all of the prizes the poop gargler mentioned. And if you have any interest in non-Western literature, you can probably name a highly renowned Arab writer like Yasmin Zaher who got the Dylan Thomas prize last year.
If your only examples of Arabic literature, science, art, or other world-class achievements come from the Middle Ages — admittedly the time when the Arab and Muslim world was at its cultural zenith relative to the rest of the world — think about why that is and try to remedy it
I agree with everything here. But also very tight editing. It sounds very funny on a loop.
David Shoebridge calls out Jillian Segal after she admits she failed due diligence with CAM—hosts of the antisemitism summit she’s speaking at—as Shoebridge reveals CAM awarded a racist US Republican who called for Gaza to "overflow with blood” Who is she partnering with? 🚩

Christ, he's one of the dumbest people who've ever lived, to the extent that if you figured out how to translate dog barks, about fifteen percent of all canines would be more intelligent than he is, and he's giving a talk on other people's intellectual contributions??

Says everything that the US are sending people who are not terrorists to GTMO. It's almost as if the people who protested against the cruel and unusual treatment of terrorists - real and perceived - in the wake of 9/11 were right about everything.
In August, the Trump administration flew 12 Somali immigrants to an ICE facility at Guantanamo Bay. “Nobody tell us that we’re going to Guantanamo Bay,” Sakariye Abdi Mohamed told journalist Amanda Moore in a phone call from the detention facility. “Just like kidnapping.”

A 2025 Nobel Prize winner in chemistry, Omar Yaghi is the son of Palestinian refugees who grew up in Jordan. He just left the US to move to China after raising concerns about rising anti-immigrant sentiment, like the kind shown here. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/china-than...
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."
This person has always been a disgrace. Her definition of antisemitism is, ‘critic of Israel’. The country which would have you believe is not an ethnostate. She should be removed and the position changed to something more useful like prevention of bigotry.

There are people pointing out that Arabs came up with our numbers, science, etc. To which some are saying “he knows that, watch the video.” I think that’s unfair because who the hell wants to listen to this gargling garbage goblin for even one second?

"They don't produce literature," lmao I think that says more about you than the Arabs buddy-boy

Jesus Christ guys, if you're going to use AI to write your articles (and it looks like you did here), at least pay an undergrad ten bucks to proofread it. It looks like it was written by Borat.

Hopefully Turek and any other Dem who thinks there's hay to be made from anti-trans campaigning notice the people asking for their campaign donations back and think again about what kind of world they want for voters.
An email I just sent @joshturek4iowa.bsky.social, asking for a refund of the money I donated. If you've donated money to Turek and want it back, feel free to swipe my (admittedly very boring) wording.

Requiring everybody to use their full real name & location in all public comments would make a lot of women way more unsafe. So many men-commentators on 'society' don't consider that women often don't have the freedoms they take for granted. www.smh.com.au/national/i-b...

Please watch Dave Rubin explain his creative process in this video and tell me how long it takes you to go completely insane. It took me about two minutes, and I've had a lot of exposure to narcissists talking about their pablum like it's Tolstoy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wpeO...
