Terminal golf brain season has begun

I can’t get over all the journalists and centrist pundits who sneered that “Twitter isn’t real life” when it was full of weird leftists but now insist it’s a vital window into the public mood when the entire site is Nazis, illegal porn, bots, and Belarusians calling themselves “Iowa MAGA Farm Guy”

They are so clearly rattled to their very core and are throwing everything at the wall to see if anything can stick anymore

There is a pretty vast emerging gulf on the left between people who can disceen fiction from reality and those who let Elon do it for them and convince themselves that he isn't

Hey @ryangrim.bsky.social is this your source for the claim that Platner's wife is Jewish? I hope not, because if so, holy shit this is some shambolically pathetic stuff. You're suffering from Nazi CSAM site radiation poisoning. Your brain is dying and crying out for help. bsky.app/profile/sky....

I think there's also an understandable resistance to charges of antisemitism given how cynically that has been used by a lot of non-Jews in power, so it's a messed up situation of folks trying to resist these bad faith charges...by backing a guy with a Nazi tattoo. It's so fucked all the way down

It really sucks to have to swim in this cultural milleiu that's overflowing with this shit and constantly have to play the misinformed or malicious game with folks like him

I think both can be right, the harm he creates is absolutely antisemitic in nature, but I don't think it comes from a malicious place, just a result of his oafishness, but I've also learned not to stick my neck out for politicians, so ultimately I don't know, it's just my best guess as of now

A useful idiot perhaps, but I'm not going to war calling myself the anti establishment advocate with the pod save bros in the trenches next to me, so what do I know

I don't think Platner is an antisemite, I do think however that he's an idiot and that is something very much worth discussing. bsky.app/profile/jake...

But yeah we're the only ones in a bubble and the people throwing it all away on the CSAM site for a doofus who didn't know he had a Nazi tattoo for 18 years are the rational ones here

It's very funny to think that Bluesky, the site filled with users who argue with jokes, can reach 100% consensus on anything

I'm Jewish and I don't think he's an antisemite, I just think he comes off as a doofus and I don't know why we're betting the farm on a guy we all just met yesterday. Also I don't trust the Obama bros at fucking all, and how in the tank they are for him is my biggest concern

I used to walk by the Boston bomber's house to work in Cambridge every day. I instantly recognized his car on the news.

He was caught on a boat on land an hour away in Watertown, just down the road from my apartment.

Bullshit, he's so thirsty for attention he's going to wrestle Pat McAfee at Wrestlemania in Saudi Arabia

A war that isn't a war, documented with videos that may or may not be real, funded by elected leaders who are neither for nor against it, is the most dystopian thing that's happened in my lifetime

Dunkin is so influential that the one next to my job was all the coffee I had for 2 years even though when I quit, I realized I hate their coffee. Dunkin exists beyond the realm of human comprehension. They carry Massachusetts' immense psychic power with them everywhere they go.

IRGC Destroys Second US THAAD System in Gulf, Wipes Out UAE Radar and $1.1 Billion Qatar Early Warning Shield — Iran Declares Missile Dominance - Defence Security Asia IRGC precision strikes reportedly destroy a second US THAAD system, its UAE radar, and Qatar’s $1.1 billion early warning system, exposing fractures in America’s Gulf missile defence architecture and ...

so Iran has apparently knocked out and destroyed / disabled to some extent two U.S. THAAD batteries

This is a massive deal. Aside from the expense, this is not a weapon system we just have a ton of lying around. You don't replace these easily.

These charges were not similar. Peters literally stole an innocent person’s identity and used it to illegally access systems protected by state law. And she remains unrepentant to this day.

"The CIA conspired to make me less cool than I was when I was 25" is the most succinct Gen X manifesto I've ever heard

Their internal polling must be such a raging tire fire

The big story from this winter is the record heat across the West, which helped to drive a historic snow drought (even despite some areas of heavier precipitation).

Rockies innocent! I always figured Profar's -1.6 WAR season here followed by 3.6 in SD was a mathematical expression of the gap between baseball's most unserious team and everyone else, but maybe leaving this safe space for baseball's worst ideas wasn't the only way he turned his career around.

Do you know how pathetic and dimwitted you have to be to get bodied like this by Senator Foghorn Leghorn with a traumatic brain injury

Splinter: Trump Has Bet the Economy on War With Iran The Iran War is sending oil prices into a spike that could have dire consequences for an American economy teetering on the brink.

Somebody was saying that watching establishment Democrats learn that saying obviously true things about foreign policy is popular is like watching a toddler take its first steps

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

it’s like they didn’t have any exposure to information about warfare in the 2020s.

One might even call it a special military operation of sorts
