JSM learning about incels: “and they can’t just wait wait for their one true love’s husband to die? Pathetic.”

How do you know this much about me??

Bajorans: cause celebre of the galactic woke, internally a lot of shit to work through (v. Irish-coded)

Zionists will go on and on to diaspora Jews about how our safety hinges on the survival of a Jewish state when the reverse is much closer to being true.

“..next week we are delighted to welcome to our seminar series..”

The U.S. health care system, leading the way.

Discipline is for sissies, apparently.

Begging Kier Starmer to extend the same consideration to all the Mexican nationals being kicked out of the US 🙏

The Boriswave HK exiles have demanded (and supplied) better, more tactfully named restaurants.

A friendly reminder as Nobel season approaches, the Nobel Prizes are not real Sveriges Riksbank Prizes in Memory of Alfred Nobel.

y pushing for such a hardline policy, Reform may have over-reached and handed a powerful weapon to their political opponents, who can attack a potential Farage government as a clear and present danger to the rights and security hundreds of thousands of decent hard-working migrant families, including friends, neighbours and workmates. After years of making the running on immigration, Farage may this week have handed the initiative back to his opponents.

@robfordmancs.bsky.social argues that the unpopularity of Reform's proposals offer the government an opportunity - but I'd add that they will squander that if they introduce what just looks like a watered-down version of those proposals.

This is also basically Chuck Schumer’s approach to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Listening Heads

neurodiversity is Good Actually. just want to say that

A policy truly befitting a reality TV politician: Let’s just periodically vote people off the island.

You jolt awake. It is 1932 Weimar Germany. You had gone to sleep determined to vote in the National Socialists. But the future must not come to pass. Only a reconciliation between the SPD and KPD can save the Fatherland from Anglo-American imperialism.

But also as someone who lived in Pennsylvania and currently lives in England: I would blame this abomination on the British.

As a non-native speaker of German I feel like it should be “Das Beste von der Insel together in einem Masterpiece Comes.” and I suddenly feel like maybe the AfD has a point. /s

This guy, of all people, is the voice of reason about immigration in UK politics.

Britain’s Bathroom Ban The UK has gone from a bathroom ban being unthinkable to a Labour government implementing an extraordinarily authoritarian one—without a vote.

Excellent point made in this article - "The government can, at any point, amend the 2010 Equality Act to clarify it. This could be as simple as passing a revised version with a single sentence added stating that its gender definitions include trans people."

One lesson to draw from Brexit is that Theresa May was not rewarded for delivering the most reasonable version of the bad idea she thought the British people wanted.

also it just like me fr

In knowing we are each of us mad but altogether sound but in doing we are each of us sound but altogether mad (Condorcet, Arrow). Is this how AI can know everything and still not be able to do anything?

Germany: What is this “participation constraint” of which you speak?

"I/we am/are better than this" is fine as an aspirational statement. it is better to have good aspirations than bad ones.

Me, delegating on the basis of what I want to hear: hahaha f yeah yes!

Me, experiencing the decisions made by an entity selected on this basis: wtf

RIP to the 4th amendment

“Yes the poor became more virtuous and this caused the rich to become greedier.” -Me, trying to condense the Philips curve into a moral narrative.

The Johnson government did this in the UK in 2021 and it totally worked to detoxify the debate around immigration. People’s single and totally genuine concern about it was finally addressed! /s
