Nixon, a decade after resigning:

What starts the process are the laughs and slights when you are a kid. But if you are reasonably intelligent and if your anger is deep enough and strong enough, you can learn that you can change those attitudes by excellence, personal gut performance, while those with it all sit on their fat butts.

Will @nytimes.com @nytopinion.nytimes.com @nytimespr.bsky.social report this coverage? I doubt it!

We’ve met with Greta Thunberg and others in the flotilla. They describe hours-long scenes of torture and sexual harassment in Israeli captivity. Experts conclude that they have been subjected to serious crimes – Sweden’s foreign minister believes they have themselves to blame.

So far TODAY Israel has:

- bombed Gaza City
- bombed Khan Younis
- shot and killed five Palestinians in Gaza City
- refused to open the Rafah border crossing
- announced they would once more block aid

This is what a "ceasefire" with Israel looks like. This is what it has always looked like.

Your revolution is over. My condolences, Mr. Torres! The Dems lost! My advice is to do what your parents did: go back to your job!

oh yeah dont get it twisted. it is important. but i trust the word of someone designated to perform science communication less than i would trust an actual scientist

the sugar and cream (and sometimes chocolate) i add have nutritional value :) hope this helps!

i bet you'd be prettier without that silly mask

"science communication" is something that people who are actually good at science assign to people who are bad at science because they dont trust them to do the science.

Imagine being so unfuckable that you get friend zoned by a freaking robot. I would be at the end of my rope.

as i get older, i am starting to realize that your average person may actually be too fucking stupid to conceive of a "spectrum." whether we're talking gender, autism, or sexuality, they cannot imagine it. hell, with the freakouts about 5G, add the electromagnetic spectrum in there too.

Sartre's fiction had a lot more depth than Camus

IMO a lot of books are better when you just accept the author's demons rather than to have any sort of cognitive dissonance. this is why HP Lovecraft rocks. you really get a window into his twisted mind.

what about the bear jew from inglorious bastards but instead of beating up nazis he beats up other jewish people for not being sufficiently pro-israel.

honestly if he ran on that he'd have my vote.

Nixon Center for Crooked Governance ☑️ @crookeddick.bsky.social · 3d

far less egregious my ass.

you start getting into siberia and i agree, but like ukraine is right there. that we see these people as separate nations today is kinda anachronistic.

jewish people dont eat pork or shellfish, which are the main ingrediants of gumbo. so of course they wouldn't steal gumbo from another culture. it is absurdist humor, which admittedly isnt for everyone. you have to have a very high IQ to understand it.

I have a crippling Panax Ginseng addiction. I felt terrible all day, but I do a shot of panax ginseng and now i feel fucking incredible. this is advanced technology.

When the allies invade and force you to put anti-nazi, transparency, and equal rights laws on the books, I kinda do think they effectively got the point across that pre-war Germany is 'inherently corrupt and fake.' And by god it worked! This is an important lesson that many can learn from!

A penitent who is loud @loudpenitent.bsky.social · 3d

"I know some of the good ones, I can't be bigoted" is not the strong argument you think it is.

Ps: yeah and the Allies didn't say "Germany is inherently corrupt and fake," they said "the Nazi regime needs to be destroyed."

uhhhh, no. not really. it was part of Russia like 36 years ago.
