It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist.

He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.

This is where you're supposed to either abandon or No-True-Scotsman your theory, not try to convince people of the soft and tender and loving heart of JD Vance

This is basically my point. "I haven't seen the marvelous creations" ≠ "it is useless"

It's not enraging, just sort of bizarre and downstream of a myopic essentialism. "This is not useful to me" ≠ "this is not useful"

I mean, he admitted that very point! (??). He admitted that very point, then went on to theorize that some of the hostility towards AI came from people who correctly saw that and were therefore unable to extrapolate any value at all

We should probably call it "post-dialectical". You can't treat something as a serious proposition when it's not meant to have any propositional content, only to produce behavioral outputs from your taking it to have such.

Yeah, my partner and I also became Costco people as a result, and there's just no going back once comverted

it says a lot about us, none of it good, that we chose a leader with not a single redeeming quality: stupid? yup. corrupt? absolutely. dishonest? to his core. violent? maybe the most violent ever. any ability to empathize with people? none. baseline level of regard for human life? not even a skosh.

Hannah Arendt spent years arguing that authoritarians put personal loyalty above merit, and in fact prefer appointing mediocrities, since their incompetence helps guarantee their loyalty and serves authoritarian goals by further hollowing out institutions, and Liberty U. Law made it career advice.

The principle is called "we have the votes and you don't," it's the principle used to determine all court cases

Sorry but I love it every time that the fraud betting apps go health insurance mode and find the smallest discrepancy to justify not paying out to the inside traders who are its core customer base. Eat shit.

A big strong man told him two weeks

The Kirk banner really does show how low we’ve fallen as we turn 250

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to bomb this elementary school full of kids because he thinks it makes him look cool. also his scheming viziers will be betting money on it for fun. good luck soldier

The president has abrogated powers from the congress, please stop pissing and moaning about consultants

This statement is appallingly bad--like, the administration *illegally bombed a school.* It's mind-boggling to me for this to be the reaction from a human, much less a purported leader of the Democratic Party. I need a new senator stat

Saving the people of Iran from being massacred by their government in the streets by massacring elementary schoolgirls from the air.

Big day for this type of guy

this is what they said it would be like under socialism

We have lost a decade of our life to an evil idiot…a dolt. A moron. One of the most racist and dumbest humans on the planet.

10 years.

using this should put you on a federal watchlist

What I like most about the David Ellison character is that they draw him to look like actually the stupidest guy you’ve ever met. It’s heavy handed but it works I think.

RFK Jr's belief in the "realness" of food is mostly temporal. the food he grew up with is real; the food he believes is a product of the present moment is not.

the party that wants to require ID to vote abruptly invalidating a thousand people’s IDs overnight seems like a pretty giant flashing red light
