I hike a lot. I sue banks for a living. I’m a sober single parent, learning Japanese for fun. I just ate an amazing raw carrot. I’m not kidding; it was really wonderful.

Thiel’s infantile theories about the anti-Christ implicitly imply that he is the re-embodiment of Christ. I doubt he’s absorbed anything that Jesus said. E.g., Matthew XIX, 24: “I tell you that it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter God’s Kingdom.”

Why don’t the Dodgers bench Ohtani, since he isn’t really making an effort?
Is Ohtani placing bets against the Dodgers, and trying to ensure that he wins his bets? Is that why he’s playing so poorly?
Or is he just a terrible post-season player?

Table Mountain in the Eastern Sierras.
The weather spoiled the hike up into the mountains, but the Sierras can’t help but be stunning.

One of the reasons ChatGPT becomes toxic for psychologically vulnerable people is because it’s convincingly sycophantic. The same can be said about all of Trump’s advisors, e.g., his cabinet members. They form a positive feedback loop of delusion.

Politicians line up to condemn “political violence,” as if murdering a politician is somehow more deplorable than murdering a non-politician. It’s not.

Trump claims the labor numbers were rigged to make him look bad. This impliedly admits that if they were accurate, he did a bad job.
In fact, Trump is flailing across the board.

Israelis who do not speak out against the genocide in Gaza are just as morally deficient as the Germans who failed to speak out against Nazi atrocities.

Trump’s announcement today of a 50 day deadline on a Russia/Ukraine peace deal is a meaningless distraction from the ongoing controversy regarding the Epstein files.

@npr.org I despise Trump and his agenda.
But I understand he wants to cut off funding to NPR. NPR is a DEI showcase project which savagely banished Garrison Keillor for the flimsiest imagined offense during Me Too’s rabid peak. NPR is basically worthless, and I hope DJT manages to kill it off.

Israel claims it was only targeting Iran’s nuclear program — which Trump reported was completely obliterated by his bombing. Yet Israel continues its violence, now selecting targets not related to the nuclear program at all. Let’s admit it: Israel seeks total regional domination.

Let me guess: Once Israel’s psychopathic leader Netanyahu showers Trump with enough gifts, Trump will announce that he has decided to “liberate” the people of Iran.
You know, like we liberated the people of Afghanistan.

In more ways than one, Adolf Hitler is the father of the nation of Israel. And Israel faithfully perpetuates its father’s legacy of horror.

The author fails to show that porn is harmful (or that the belief in its harmlessness is “delusion”). The argument relies on supposition, feelings, anecdotes masquerading as data.

@lacity.bsky.social Over-compensating for Mayor Bass’ dangerously incompetent response to the massively destructive fires, now the City is issuing arbitrary and sweeping closures of parks. This is totally useless, it harms the people, and fails to restore Bass’ permanently damaged reputation.
