The genius philosopher Jordan Peterson will enthrall thousands of people (ok, gullible young men, mostly) in the 3 Arena next month.

For a sneak preview of this legend at work, here’s a new clip of him getting rinsed by a teenager & losing the rag as he’s openly mocked.

Auchincloss on Fox News Sunday: "This economy is inflationary right now...you know what the GOP response is? Their response is, 'Well, get ready for a rocky ride & by the way, we're gonna give tax cuts to the top 20% of earners & pay for it by taking away healthcare from people who need healthcare'"

This is so ridiculous. When all the economic indicators were good under Biden, Trump said it was because everyone expected he would become president. Now that Trump is actually president, Biden has total control of the economy!
Jake Tapper doesn't bother fact-checking Rep. Brandon Gill as he lies that Trump "inherited an economy and country that is bankrupt"

There is a real, economic cost by sticking with the status quo Brexit deal or tinkering on the sidelines with just a SPS agreement. The “do little” option is anti growth.

This who suggest the EU won't offer the UK Mutual Recognition based on regulatory alignment don't seem to have noticed the EU saying any SPS deal must be mutual recognition based on regulatory alignment.

There's no principle objection to the concept.
🚨NEW RESEARCH🚨

Closer ties with the EU could deliver growth of up to 2.2%.

Clawing back up to half of the damage caused by Brexit.

Delivering double the impact of a UK-US trade deal, according to the govt's own analysis.

And all within Starmer's red lines.

Seems timely to cross-post a thread of mine from the Bad Place, about karyotyping: essentially, examining people’s chromosomal arrangements.

This can be done for many reasons, but in this case, I’m focusing on bigoted arsehats thinking they should test for sex chromosomes.

Copy pasta, let’s go!
