Calamitous O.R.T.B.O.O. 🎃

GPU Abundance would be a platform I could get behind.

“Two years ago today, Hamas carried out a horrific war crime, killing more than 1,100 Israelis and kidnapping 250 more. I mourn these lives and pray for the safe return of every hostage still held and for every family whose lives were torn apart by these atrocities. In the aftermath of that day, Prime Minister Netanyahu and the Israeli government launched a genocidal war: adeath toll that now far exceeds 67,000; with the Israeli military bombing homes, hospitals, and schools into rubble. Every day in Gaza has become a place where grief itself has run out of language. I mourn these lives and pray for the families that have been shattered. Our government has been complicit through it all. This must end. The occupation and apartheid must end. Peace must be pursued through diplomacy, not war crimes, and our government must act to end these atrocities and hold those responsible to account. These last two years have demonstrated the very worst of humanity. We must answer it by modeling the very best: a relentless pursuit of our higher ideals and an unwavering commitment to universal human rights.”

Dont say she didn’t warn us, either. The press actively covered for him, but she warned us.

Call me Paul Thomas Anderson the way i be fighting one battle after another

Its crazy what topics can tip you down RW rabbit holes. Handheld radios cna get real dark real fast.

I get a lot of strange looks when I say this in meatspace, but I unironically mean it: algorithm discipline is an extraordinarily important skill for navigating modern life without going insane, and it should be taught in K-12 schools.

Racing Bulls these days aka RBCa$hApp 😂

Yeah pretty much. I don’t want to really live out in sprawl with a giant truck i don’t need and have to drive everywhere. But so long as you actually pay the cost of your water, emissions, infrastructure, etc. I don’t really give a shit. I just don’t want to be forced to subsidize your preference.

The acolyte had many flaws, but it also had some of the best fight choreography in the entire series.

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".

if you're in the US, look to your left. now look to your right. if everyone's dead, it's because almost the entire population of this country apparently died from drug overdoses last year.

This gets to something that as a former stand-up I recognized but couldn’t name. A 31 year old professional content creator baiting 19 year old amateurs into the format of his choice isn’t debate, it’s crowd work. It’s debate-shaped crowd work farmed for content.

Economist Thomas Piketty:

"a country that refuses to make its richest citizens pay the same tax as the middle & lower classes...[...].is a country that has abandoned its sovereignty."

BH: a country has no real government if the rich enjoy the protection of the law w/out paying their fair share.

every day i am haunted by this from First Reformed

In response to a tweet by Jeremy Clarkson with text "For the first time in my life, I'm genuinely frightened about being a newspaper columnist." Twitter user @OfSymbols says "This you?" linking a screenshot of this text from The Mirror: "Jeremy Clarkson: 'striking public sector workers should be shot' TOP Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson caused outrage last night when he said striking public sector workers should be shot dead "in front of their families"."

THIS YOU? MASTER THREAD

condemnations of political violence are well taken but it does feel as if some
prominent political commentators are of the view that violence isn’t a part of the history of American politics and that is very much not true.

Every time Israel precisely targets like, a single penthouse 500 miles away, it is appropriate to ask why Gaza looks like this

I feel like the easiest way would to be to get one of the prediction markets in on it and move to legitimate polls from there.

Hey, what's your favorite William F. Buckley Jr moment?

I know, a lot of people say it, but I really liked when Buckley's big brain told him that he should debate James Baldwin.

What's the worst that could happen? Getting smoked so badly people still watch it 60 years later?

John Roberts believes that Donald Trump should be allowed to fuck kids both metaphorically and entirely literally.

We’re quite deep within the Singularity right now, though it’s turned out be the Singularity of Stupid (SoS), which effectively prevents the original concept of the Singularity from happening.

This ends with Me Too for kids and if people react to Me Three the same way they did Me Too, God is going to go Full Babylon on our asses and we will deserve it.

The only legal principle SCOTUS is operating under right now is King Trump’s word is law and racism is OK, actually.

On the bright side, he didn’t have far to fall.
