SCOOP: several days ago Zohran Mamdani was overheard saying he "needs" to eat dinner. An inside source confirmed he had eaten breakfast and lunch that day, giving him an estimated 2+ weeks without additional calories before he might have died from starvation

yes, but have you ever considered that water can also be frozen??? No, don't go outside to check--let's just proceed as if both states of matter are equally likely to be the case 🤪

I'm very nervous about whose hands this technology will end up in, but they don't really have a choice at this rate

he's way too stupid to have planned this, but would absolutely welcome the downstream effect

Zohran Mamdani caught lying that he understood Plato’s allegory of the cave, yet when asked to explain it, he seemed to instead explain Baudrillard’s theory of Simulacra and Simulation where reality has been replaced by symbols and signs, which seems similar to Plato’s theory but is not the same

Honestly, Elissa Slotkin ruined the phrase "no kings" for me when she suggested that the majority of Americans weren't smart enough to understand the concept of an oligarchy, let alone articulate a path towards repelling it.

he was a mediocre peacetime president. Without the war, I'm not sure he'd have won reelection if he ran, but it would've been a peaceful transfer of power either way, which is one reason why putting him remotely in the same camp as Putin is so terribly asinine.

no current elected Democrats or Independents in the US espouse this position: not since Tulsi left Congress.

1/2 Something that I feared would happen is happening. I am seeing social media posts that nothing is happening that Jamaica hasn't experienced before. The storm HASN'T HIT yet. I was worried this perception would happen...Melissa has 175 mph winds and gusts above 200 mph at higher elevations.

the great extent to which people (and governments) are not responding or barely acknowledging Russia's hybrid war efforts thus far is extremely telling. It's like brain-dead frogs slowly boiling alive...

There's a lack of shared vision that our society can get better and is worth fighting for. It's easy to be cynical and say the toxic projects we live under don't deserve to be propped up.
