Given their attempts to run "breeding farms"--buying up and housing together large groups of women they deem worthy to pass along the men's genes--these guys remind me most of the warlords and khans of a thousand years ago.

"15 years ago, Polish workers came to the UK to find opportunity and we treated them like 💩. Then we slit our own throats with Brexit. Somehow this is Poland's fault."

"15 years ago, Polish workers came here to find opportunity. Now Poland is growing twice as fast as we are," says Kemi Badenoch.

Any ideas what may have happened in the interim?

From the pandemic, and all the protesters in front of Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center holding up "wah, wah, don't oppress me by saving my life with vaccines" signs, I learned that the actual NH motto is "Live Free AND Die."

My thesis that a large number of wealthy men worldwide just really want to own other people, outright, remains undefeated.

This is also the lesson I draw from the apparently unrelated US news about the Epstein files.

Seems to me you've already accomplished a shit ton more than Pam Bondi, without selling your soul to the devil.

It is super annoying to acknowledge, OK as a species we've had basically instantaneous access to all documented human knowledge for 20 years now and yet our collective decision-making sucks ass.

But faster access to wronger information at a higher cost isn't the move.

"I voted for none of this."

They voted for Trump, convicted felon and rapist, the guy who led an insurrection right on their teevees.

They voted for THAT guy; further details of that guy's actions are irrelevant to their pathetic attempts to distance themselves.

the more time passes the more every new LLM development feels like the bottom line is that dudes who made some amount of money for being kind of decent at math or whatever have also decided that they have a god given right to dictate what all human culture is

trying to make sure my wife has all of the necessary documentation to get a RealID and it's really hard to shake the feeling that the aim of this entire program was to use anti-immigrant sentiment to help disenfranchise married women

“I voted for none of this."

Prominent influencers, including Theo Von, Joe Rogan, and Andrew Schulz, are starting to distance themselves from the president they helped propel to the White House.

Got it. Thanks.

His uncanny ability to face down super-aggro men--esp of the fascist variety--without losing his cool or train of thought seems like it must have a use. His appearances on Fox are really amazing to me, because I have a hard time keeping my cool when confronted with lying bullies.

Would you elaborate a bit on your reasons for writing that? Not trying to start anything, not a Pete stan or hater, just genuinely curious.

Fuuuuu...what are we going to do with people who have huge platforms but know less than a 6th grader about the basics of life on Earth?

Those of us who remember the Cold War cannot believe how fast the US is hurtling not just toward the 1950s, but specifically toward the political climate and economy of the 1950s Soviet Union.

Is the irony of the president’s friend buying something called “the free press” and immediately installing a government truth compliance officer lost on everybody?

Seems more like a *kinetic* constitutional crisis from over here on the other side of the Atlantic...

Texas proudly invading Illinois.

It’s hard to describe the level of potential constitutional crisis here.
